Hi, I'm Reshma Sajjani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids. But here's the thing. I still wake up wondering, is this it? And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start? Join me on my so-called midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media, where we're building

a playbook for navigating midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose. At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life? I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you. My so-called midlife is out now,

wherever you get your podcasts. When history buff Eric Roper buys an old house in Minneapolis, he wants to know everything he can about the people who live there before him. But one couple become his obsession. And as he pieces together their lives through genealogy records and old recordings, he realizes they're showing him a side of his city he never knew existed. This is Ghost of a Chance from the Minnesota Star Tribune. Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey everyone, Scott Aukerman here, one of your trusty hosts for Freedom. I'm speaking on behalf of Paul F. Tompkins and Lauren Lapkus, the other hosts. And for this week's episode obviously you all must know about the LA fires that have been going on for over a week now a lot of people have been impacted by that personally our show we're all fine we we have been impacted a little bit not as bad as quite a few other people that we know personally, but a couple of us did evacuate LA and Lauren is still out of town.

And so what we couldn't get together to record this week, but what we decided to do is we have these threemium shows that we've been talking about which are the shows where we answer your your voicemails and normally those come out over on CBBworld or at Lemonada Premium and so those are about 20 minutes apiece so what we decided to do was we were gonna stitch together three of those and turn it into an episode for this week so that's what what you're going to hear is you're going to hear three, three Mium episodes where we answer phone calls in succession, right in a row. And then hopefully by next week we will be back a recording and,

um, things will have settled down a little bit. We appreciate your patience for that. Um, we did want to say that, uh, we will have a link in our Instagram page with a spreadsheet of GoFundMe's to donate to if people would like to donate even one to two to three to maybe even five dollars. That'll be at threedomusa on our Instagram page and again thank you for all of your concern for us we're all okay all of our families are okay and everything. And hopefully we'll be back to regular business next week.

All right, until then enjoy this very special episode of Freedom. Freedom! I'm gonna get it right. I know you are. I'm gonna do anything I can to get it right. Freedom! You got the first two right.

What am I going to do?

You didn't do it. No, I said, Oh my God. Oh my God. I really panicked. Yeah, you really did. But you know what? We still got here, you know? And it's one thing I'm learning is that if we say the wrong word, the show still goes on. Yeah. I'm taking a step back to listen and learn. Yeah, me too. That's right. We're all, by the way, on this episode of Thremium, we're all just listening to each other.

None of us are going to talk. Yeah. And no one's going to listen to this. No one's going to interrupt and no one's going to talk and no one's going to do anything but listen. We're just going to sit here staring at each other, listening to each other. It's going to be amazing. Now let's roll that beautiful bean footage.

If you would like to call us, go to hag claims eight dot com and leave a voice message on that website. Hag claims eight dot com. Yeah. Like this person did. This person has something that they want to ask us. The freedom threemium team. What name this person is? Well, I think they're going to say it themselves. So I don't want to bury the lead here. My watch just told me I'm in a loud

environment. You're in a loud environment? No! Shut up! No! 90 decibels. Oh 90? Are we talking 90 decibels? Is that a lot? We do scream. That's true. We did scream freedom. Yes. And Thremium.. Screaming does make that watch go crazy. Screaming makes the heart grow fonder. Yep. So if anyone screams, your watch will tell you someone's screaming. Good tip. Well, yeah, they're like, get away from that screaming person. It's very passive aggressive about it. It says things are getting kind of loud, huh?

Hey, you might want to move rooms. Just a thought. Or go get help, you fucking asshole. Yeah. I mean, if you were offering Genovese situation, if you were offering like, should I call 911 for you? And then shall I call 911? Would you like to call 911 to save your ass? In I believe in the UK, it's 999. Is it 999? 999. 999. All right.

Jesus, we heard you. Let us say goodbye to you. We're trying to talk here. Goodbye Colin. Goodbye to you. If I had to go to McDonald's. I don't think we said our orders. I think we said which fast food place we would go to.

That could be true, yes. We would go, Cool Up would order on the, was it the anniversary of Harris' death or was it his birthday? It might've been his birthday. She would order McDonald's every year. By the way, everyone should die on their birthday.

Yeah. Just simplify it. Whatever year it is, just die on your birthday. How about this year? Everyone die on your birthday. Hey, this year. We'll all do it. Let's all make a pact. Everyone listening, let's die on our birthdays.

If your birthdays already passed, die right now. birthday's already passed die right now but we would we would get we would get his order which was like chicken McNuggets chicken McNuggets shut the fuck up well why can't I make fun of that come on McNuggets is funny chicken McNuggets it's more cute than funny. Because I'm a baby. It's actually adorable. You're a bit of a baby. But it was Chicken McNubbits and... Fribes. Cheapsburgers.

The abominable Dr. Fribes. Oh, that sounds like a good movie. You should write that. I did. Mail it to the WGA. What else? Nice. I'm going to go with the WGA.

Not, I'm not doing Cosby, I'm doing the...

Why did you mention it? No one was thinking you were. He did. I did think it. I knew it. Because he was doing it. His eyes lit up with Bill Cosby pictures in his eyeballs. Pfft.

I'm gonna be a Bill Cosby air. Wake up. Wait, what was your chicken McNubbets? It was chicken McNubbets, sheeburrs, fries and maybe I can't remember what his order was, but, but what I was. No, there would never be a drink involved, but what I would order myself, you know what I would love at McDonald's was those sundaes.

Oh yeah. Oh sure, with the ice cream machine broken. Yeah. Always. Classic. Hot fudge sundaes. I only, if I eat a burger from McDonald's, it's plain with just the butt and the meat.

What? Because that's how I've been eating it my entire life. Wow. My mom likes it that way, and then I was trained to like it that way. It's good enough for my mother, and it's good enough for me. As a kid, I always ate it that way, and then I will continue.

And it's just the way that you like it. But I will get, typically I'll get chicken McNubbits, and I'll do- You'll put the sauce on the burger? No, I'll put the sauce on the nubs, and I'll do- I'll put the sauce on the nubs. I'll do. I'll put the sauce on the nubs. I'll do a 10 piece nowadays, bud, six to 10. Wait, on your hamburger, would you get the condiments? Nothing at all.

Nothing at all. And if anybody touches it, I'm disgusted. And it's not true for other locations, like other chains. Right. This is how I eat the McDonald's burger. Wow. But I like a like a Mcnubbit and I like Fribe's and I love Fribe's. So I'll get, I'll get a six piece to a 10 piece depending on my appetite and have a large fry and a McFlurry if I'm really feeling special. Wow.

But I usually won't get that. But that's if I, or I'll do fries and McFlurry as just an order. That's just a great combo, hot and cold. You have a lot. I get the same thing every time. What's that? Double quarter pounder with cheese. Yeah. I'll get the meal, I'll get the fries,

and I'll get the drink. You can just make a half pounder. Or does that feel too gluttonous? It feels, I feel like I'm not being gluttonous as a double quarter pounder. Right, yeah. Yeah. Half pounder. Of course we allous as a double quarter pounder. Right, yeah. Yeah. Of course we all know it's a half pounder.

You have to do so much math in your head every time you order. Can't do it, what am I, a beautiful mind? Yeah. I'm not looking around seeing all those equations. Does a double quarter pounder weigh half a pound? Thank you. Before cooking.

Before cooking. After cooking it weighs more. Yeah. Because it's big and strong. And they put all that shit on it that you don't like. Yeah, get that out of here. What's that? The McFlurry one was first introduced. I'm sure I've told this before. Oh, please tell us a story you've told before. When they give you the spoon for it. It's comfort food. You think it's a straw because there's a big hole

of it. Yes. It's not. I tried to drink this thing like it was a drink. No, I almost like passed out from your sucking it so hard. Yeah. And then why does it have a whole like ice cream? I don't I guess when it starts to melt, maybe or maybe the suck up that huge amount. It's a prank. Does it have a hole in the that goes all the way down? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

There's like a little tunnel through the. You know what it should be? They should fill that with M&Ms or whatever candy put It has like a little tunnel through the handle. You know what it should be? They should fill that with M&Ms or whatever candy you put into it and have it come through the spoon. Have it come through the spoon. Have it come through the spoon. Have it come through the spoon.

You know that book, is it Fast Food Nation? I don't remember, but where they talk about how, what McDonald's does is they, it's like scientific now now you can have an eyedropper and before it was more religious yeah no but you can put like one drop of a liquid on a piece of paper and suddenly the whole room smells like meat and that's what they put on the fries you can do that with any water in any paper do it right now just do it right now you'll'll see. No, but that's what they're using now

because it smells like meat and it gets you hungry or whatever, but it's all just chemicals. This is making me want McDonald's. I already ate in and out today, so I don't really want it right now, but in general. I already had a grilled cheese sandwich. Wow. Yeah, it was delicious.

Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom.

Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! It's a three-me-um. Did you see how I was acting like an agent of Chow's? I heard some maniacal laughter.

I was very, very scared about what was happening on your end of the table. It's like I became a joker. And a smoker and a midnight toker? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, isn't that something? Bow-wow!

Isn't that special? The church lady! Church lady. It used to be so easy. Satan! Comedy used to be so easy, didn't it? I know. Honestly, that sketch, the same thing every single time.

And you would get mad if he didn't say Satan and didn't say isn't that special. They started to add reverb on it. Right, exactly. Okay, look. Look, we gotta change this up a little. We've done this 1,000 times. How about we add reverb to the word Satan?

But we loved it. I loved it. We loved it. We loved it, didn't we folks? We did. He was on the cover of People Magazine as the church lady within a month. Really? I gotta see that. I think not as the main cover but like up in the okay the story's falling apart and it wasn't people it was person and it was

Dana Carvey magazine. Wow he would get the whole cover? No but that sucks. Who was on the cover? I think it was like I think was Sid Caesar. That's strange. The pre Dana Carvey. The church woman. Yes. The church grandma. Those words put together didn't help narrow down my search. There's a lot of church related things on the cover of people magazine.

How about church lady people magazine? Yeah, that's what I wrote. Dana Carvey church Lady People Magazine? Yeah, you can do that too. I have it right here in front of me. First thing that pops up. Wow, it must be cool to be you. Okay, guess who is on the cover.

Guess who? Guess who is on the cover. You wanna do a 20 questions of who's on the cover? Do they have a hat? They don't have a hat. If that helps narrow down. No, like the game Guess Who? Do you ever play that game?

No. It seems like it would be past. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you just you said. I've never played it, but I know what it is. It's pretty fun. Sounds fun. I saw a video.

Well, the game is like you have this board with all these pictures of different characters and then you're like and you have a card that has one character on it.

Yes. So I have to think of everything that you have ever shared with another person. Yeah, a celebrity who would have been on the cover of People magazine in 1986.

I'm just going with the celebrity angle because I can't think of everything possible to share. Well it's not like Paul Rudd or something. Chachi. Interesting, because we share a name. Because James Chachi. Incorrect. Yes, my name is Chachi. Scott Bale, couldn't think of his name.

Do you think he do you think that he that was a shoot for the magazine? Do you think they just found a picture? I don't know, because he's wearing like a tennis warm-o. It looks like he's pulling his shirt down. Like a warm-up jacket, but it is a zip-up. But he's showing his chest hair to us, intentionally it seems. It's sexy.

It's getting me aroused. I'm in the bone zone. It's so hot. Okay, this is three. I'm engorged. This is Thremium bone zone. It's so hot. Okay, this is three. I'm engorged. This is Thremium where we. A step too far. You were right.

You send us these via HagClaims8.com. That's right. Bookmark this website. Yeah. And it should be your start page. It should be your main source of news. HagClaims8.com. I know you mainly get your news from Hudson News

or other trusted news sources. Yeah. But HagClaims8 is where you need it. I know you go down to the corner. I only go to the airport. Talk to that guy that sits in that little shack. It's freezing cold, he's got a cigar. And the watchmen are out there.

And the giant squid is about to. There's a little boy reading a comic book about what's happening right now. About pirates. Oh, pirates, you can skip that. Yeah, turns out it's never interesting. What a good feeling that is when you're reading Watchmen and you realize, oh, let's read the pirate ship.

Oh, I can skip this now. Or when you're re-watching the Twin Peaks Showtime episode and you go, oh, wow, I can totally skip over the dougie scenes. When they do the dougie? Yeah, teach me how to dougie. Yeah, yeah. OK, so this.

I want to teach you how to do the dougie. Here we go. This is a voicemail left by one of you. Hey Lauren, Paul, Scott. My name is Delaney and I have a question. So Paul, you were on a podcast recently where you described yourself as an easy laugher and that just gave me so much joy.

And so I was wondering if you could share with all the other piss pigs what it means to be an easy laugher and why you consider yourself to be one. And then Lauren and Scott would either of you use that term to describe yourself as an easy laugher. Wow. That's a good question. Thanks Delaney. I really like her name. Delaney. Delaney. I like it. It's a good name. Yeah. It's like Dana Delaney but backwards. Yeah. Maybe her last name is Dana. It's a good name. Yeah. It's like Dana Delaney, but backwards. Yeah. Maybe her last name is Dana.

With no Dana. Yeah. Yeah, that's what backwards means. It's a lot like, but we don't know that her last name is Dana. It could be. It could be. Delaney Dana.

That would be shocking. Delaney comma Dana. That would be shocking. That was Dana Delaney. Yeah, it might've been. Okay. Okay, so to me, what an easy laugher means is, first of all, I enjoy comedy,

but also I will laugh. This is not, I will sometimes laugh, not in a professional capacity, but in life. Sometimes I'll laugh at people, it's just the intention of being funny. You know what I mean? Like when you're out and about in the world and somebody makes some little joke or something,

and it's like, even though the joke itself is maybe not hilarious, but the idea that somebody's being kind of silly or whatever, that will, I will enjoy that. So it's like, it's weirdly like I'm laughing at the intention of the person rather than what they said. Now I think as a woman. I'm not a woman.

You should, okay, fine. Then I'll answer for myself. Okay, good. I think as a woman, I laugh when I don't mean it a lot. Because not with my friends. Put someone in these. But no, in public you have to do that. Right.

I mean, you don't have to, but it's like we're ingrained with this, I think. To show that you're- Just a nice lady who gets along with it all. And I don't mind that you just made that comment. And I'm not the B word. Yeah. In apartment 23 word.

No, but so I definitely do polite laughter, but I think with my friends I like to laugh a lot and then, but if I'm watching something and I don't think it's funny, I don't really laugh. Yeah. But it's, it's not to be rude. It's just that I wait because I'm when it really is, I'm like really having fun. Like I went to see, we talked about this show it really is I'm like really having fun. Like I went to see we talked about this show

Gutenberg and I was like Laughing so hard and I was like that's the best feeling when you genuinely Find something so funny that you're just like surprised by it and the laugh is like so authentic and I feel like for me It's I I sort of just like let it wash over me until that happens. I agree with that. I very rarely laugh at entertainment, like a movie or a TV show or something. So when it does make me laugh out loud, it's that's a huge thing. It's like, wow, that really caught me by surprise. Or like I think you should leave or something where like, and then I'm just like crying and I'm like, that's the best.

I get worried at live shows if I go to see a friend show because I have a loud laugh and to some people it might be a distinctive laugh. And I worry about calling attention to myself. Yeah. It makes me very self-conscious. Yeah. And so sometimes I'll laugh and then I'll like stop myself.

Well, and I think there's that thing too of like, if you are laughing really hard at something and then you're not, then you stop. Yeah. And it's like, oh, does he not like that one? Yeah. It's like, we're all aware of like what the person, the loud laugher is thinking.

Exactly, yeah. Scott, what do you think? Do you laugh? I don't know if I've ever seen that. Have you ever seen you laugh? Have you ever laughed? I don't know, what is it? Ah, ah?

No, it's the opposite. Yeah, it's ha ha. Yeah, I'm like an easy laugh in a lot of ways if something just tickles me. Like, Cool Up will always find it very amusing when I watch something like Detroiters or Paul Walter Hauser in anything, or you know what I mean, where I'm just like

sitting there laughing really hard and she'll come into the room and be like, oh my God, you're laughing really hard. That's nice. Because so, so. Because you're so miserable. Well, because normally you're such a prick. All right, and that's been Thremium.

No! No, Scotty. He's turning off his laptop. No, oh my God, he slammed it shut. Shovel. But yeah, I mean. Shabone, Shabon. It's, so I'm a really easy, and then, you know,

just producing that standup show for 10 years, I was laughing a lot because everything was so funny. Now I don't find standup all that funny anymore, so when I, because I just had to be around it so much. Well, that's part of what it is, I think it's a comedy fatigue. Yes, so when I do see something that I really, like a standup special that's super funny,

I'm like, oh, I can still laugh in standup, yay. I had an experience recently, and I thought about it, it really made me think about live performance. I went to see a matinee of a play, and there was a lot of humor in the play, but because it was a matinee, it was not hugely attended. There were lines that you knew would usually get laughs and weren't getting laughs.

And it's not that I didn't think they were funny, but it is a different energy. The crowd wasn't bringing it. When you're in a crowd and that's why comedy films are so important to watch with the crowd It's important because it just it just I mean I I Remember like watching the naked gun on opening night and just like laughing with tears rolling down my face because everyone in the crowd That's the best. Oh my god. We went to that scary movie premiere that time

Do you remember that there was one of the scary movies and we did it? Yeah. I thought you were there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Did we? I thought so because we, we like walked up on the red carpet. We did behind James woods. I know that would have been number two. It was not me. But, um, and, uh, uh, I, so it's, it's a, it's the premiere of this movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the premiere of this movie. And so everyone is laughing their fucking heads off.

And I was too. And I'm like, if I... That's fun, that's like a great time. If I saw this movie on cable or something. Or yeah, just alone at your house. I doubt I would laugh at all. Well, sometimes I would see movies at South by Southwest and they would just be so funny at South by Southwest.

And then you'd tell people like, oh, go see it. And then you see it and it's just not, it's kind of laying there. I was so relieved when I saw Bridesmaids maybe three weeks before it came out. And I was coming back going like, everyone go see Bridesmaids. And so we went to like opening night at the dome

and Paul who directed it was there actually. And I was like, oh, hey, dome and Paul who directed was there actually. And I was like, oh, hey, here I am again. I'm watching, I brought all my friends and then it just kills. You know, it's just, it's very gratifying. That movie, I remember crying, laugh, like laughing till I cried and then also crying at the emotional ending.

Oh my God, I love this movie. I laughed at that movie a lot. But then I would get, sometimes going to the Sunset Five, you'd get upset at the certain type of theater goer who's like doing performative laughing. Like I'm smart enough to get this joke, but at the same time, like it is kind of a relationship, especially in a live performance,

it's a relationship between you and the performer of like trying to give them what they deserve. Yes, I do feel, if I'm watching a comedian or comedy show in person, I'm not withholding because I want it to feel like, Gary, we're here. It's a conversation between you and the performer sometimes if it's a great way. So I think when we go out on tour,

it's great to hear the laughs and it emboldens you. And it's not performative in some ways, but I don't know. There are people, I mean, it depends on what you're watching. I think there's definitely those people where they're laughing to be like, ha ha, I'm smart. Right. And I get that. I was just thinking though. But I would rather that, as a performer, I would rather that than people just sitting

there going like, show me something funny. Well, yeah. No, no, it's much nicer that people do laugh. But I went to a comedy show in London of someone who is very funny. And I was listening to some podcasts recently where they were talking about, oh, was it you talking about this?

Oh my God, I'm expect to be accused. The London audiences don't really laugh, but then they're like, that was amazing. Yes, I was warned that before I went to perform there for the first time, they're much more reserved. Was with my parents, this is when I was warned that before I went to put in there for the first time. So very much more reserved. I was with my parents. This is when I was there doing that movie. And I might be so my parents came to visit me and we went to this standup.

It was a storytelling show. It was somebody that I really like. And the and I felt crazy because I was like, no one's laughing. But my parents and I were laughing. But it was like, like sort of like what But my parents and I were laughing, but it was like, sort of like, what's, I couldn't tell what was happening. It was like, it was actually like a really weird feeling. Cause I was like, you know,

when you bring someone to something and you're like, I hope they like this, that I'm going like, do they think this sucks because no one's laughing? But it's like, but it is entertaining. And I'm like, and then they did have a good time, but it was just like. So if laughter is truly involuntary, then why would it be a cultural thing if people don't laugh?

Did that make you fall asleep? Because you've gone so hard. I wish, I wish. But you know what I mean? Like, is laughter cultural? I had never really known that about, and then I don't know if you said it or somebody else said it, but I was like,

oh, maybe that made me think of that experience. And I was like, oh, is that what happened there? Like it was like, maybe they're being respectful or like taking it in a different way. I mean, was it no laughter? No, it wasn't, but it was, it was, It wasn't enthusiastic laughter. It was quiet.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, I mean, culturally, And it was sold out. You feel like they were excited to be there. Yeah. SRO. What? SRO. Sold right out? Oh yeah. I think that, yeah, I know. culturally and it was sold out. They were excited to be. Yeah. SRO sold right out. Oh yeah. I think that, um, yeah, I know. I think that I, we both don't.

I think that, uh, culturally it makes sense if, you know, expression of emotion is so that it's suppressed is more private. And so it's just ingrained in you. That'd be such a bummer to grow up with parents who don't laugh at anything you do. Oh, would it? Yeah, I wonder what that's like. I know.

I wonder if it would have driven me into show business. Oh, that's right. I'm thinking about the other side of it, where I genuinely laugh at everything that my daughter does. And oh yeah, I never got that either. All right, well I hope. I did. Yeah.

Perfect little Lauren. It can go both ways is all I'm saying. Right? Both sides. Delaney, thank you so much. Thank you Delaney. For that question. Thank you so much, a good question.

And that's gonna do it for this episode of Thremium, but we'll be back in a couple of weeks to answer. Don't be scared. Don't be frightened. Put the magic top hat on our heads, we'll be back. Yes. Someday. I thought that was a Lidsville thing

and then I just realized it's frosty. You fucking idiot. Yeah. Goodbye. See you on the next one. Goodbye. We are kind of all over the place on year's resolutions. Sure, I've got aspirations next one. We are kind of all over the place on year's resolutions.

Sure, I've got aspirations and I try to improve myself whenever possible throughout the year with the big list with the firm deadline to start improving. That's a big ask.

And I'm Carla Gallo, and we're here to bring you- Boneheads! The official Bones rewatch podcast. 16 years ago, we met on the set of the TV show Bones and have been friends ever since.

I played Dr. Temperance Brennan. And I played Daisy Wick. We're starting from the top and working our way through all 246 episodes. The show last a very long time. Very long. Tune in every Wednesday to laugh with us, to cry with us, to cringe with us, and hear all our juicy behind the scenes stories.

Boneheads from Lemonada Media is out now wherever you get your podcasts. Here we go. Here we go. Freedom. Freedom. You said threedom. I did? Oh, you stinker. I must have been being silly. I said threedomium. Oh no. I was so worried. We don't know how to do this show. Welcome to threemium.

This is one of our little mini episodes where we take a voicemail and it prompts a fun discussion. Or a sad one. That's true. How many have we done that have been super sad? Two. Yeah. Yeah. Sad to you. Like we were having fun. Just super sad? Two. Yeah. Yeah. Sad to you.

Like we were having fun. Just to me. Just to me. Yeah. Yeah. No, you guys are a great song. By the way, you have seasonal depression. Depressing love. Yeah. Not actually like sad. Yeah. All four seasons. I have sad. They all bum me out. What's more depressing than spring? All right. So we're going to play this, this little voicemail. This someone left us and you can leave us these voicemails at hagclames8.com.

Hagclames8.com. And so here we go. Let's hear what this person has to say. This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine. I'm gonna let it shine. I think I like this little light. For some reason it's not playing, I wonder why. I wonder, I guess if you did it right, it would work. Oh, wow, Loris.

Coming at ya. What a roost, you really roosted him. I know, it was crazy. Boy, how terrible would it be for this person if they never got to hear their voicemail? It feels like it's right there and we just gotta hit play. But they don't know which person they are. I'm hitting play.

They don't know which person they are. That's true. But then we just never play it. I am hitting play, but it's just sitting there. Is it on fucking mute or some shit? No, it's just, no, it's sitting there, it won't play. Oh no. It's just sitting there, it won't advance, it won't play. Oh no. It's just sitting there. It won't advance.

It won't play. No, we need it to advance and play. It won't. I know. What is this, the fucking Peacock app? Yeah, seriously. I can tell you what their question is, or I could try to play another one.

Try to play another one. I guess that's probably what we should do. Okay, let me try to play a different one. If you are the hag that left that, we will try to get to it later. I've decided that the people who leave voice files are hags. That's what POOG listeners are called. Is that true? Yeah.

Well, then I've decided something else. Hag claimers. What the heck is happening here? Claimers. Yeah. These won't play either. Oh, no. Oh, the whole premise of this. Let's just talk about what this person's question was.

Because there's a little subject line that tells me what, what the question is. This little subject line. Okay. So Gina asks us and so sorry. Damn Gina. Damn Gina. So sorry that we can't hear your actual voice, Gina. Yeah. But asks when did you... So sorry, I made a joke that you've heard all your life probably,

or maybe from the nineties on she could have been born in the eighties and had a sweet 10 years. We're in the fifties for all we know. Yeah. For all we know, for all we care too. She could be 106 years old. We care to know honestly, if she was 106, I would care. Yeah. I'd like to know if we have any listeners who are over 100 years old, he's 100. I don't care. But if you're over 100, I want to know if we have any listeners who are over 100 years old. If you're 100, I don't care. But if you're over 100, I want to know. I want to know if you're over 90.

Wow. Okay, Scott. I want to know if you're over $1. Okay. Gina asks, I'm going to try to play it one more time, but it's not playing. Someone told me the website was down. Had claims it was having issues. It was for a while. We cleared them up.

Too much traffic? I think so. This is a different issue. This is a drop box issue. Perhaps. Kind of like Ralph. Yeah, why did he do that? He wrecked it. Or Kim Kardashian's behind

That really break the internet now just a bunch of people looked at it. Yeah, I was like, yeah I guess I don't remember there being any problem with any of my usual website the weather channel so forth and so on Okay, so Gina asks when did you start drinking coffee? Great question. Great question. Well, as we all know, I don't drink it. Okay, well, not such a great question. So I guess I'm out. And you've never drank it?

I've had one sip. One sip when? We talked about this on our Pepsi challenge episode. I had one sip. Of every caffeinated beverage. No, it was a couple of episodes before that. Cause I'm now the editor. Stop listening to this.

So I'm deeply familiar editor. Stop listening to this. So I'm deeply familiar with what we talk about. I had one sip and just to, you know, just to say I'd try it, but it smells good. I don't think I enjoyed the taste. That was probably 15 years ago. I don't know. Because sometimes some people like it better with like cream and sugar. It was how that person made it.

So I don't know what was in it. But it wasn't black. Well, it might've been. Did it seem very dark when you looked at it? Let me tell you something. I don't remember. I took a sip of something. Okay.

15 years ago, I remember everything about it. Okay, Lauren. By the way. Okay. You remembered the exact timeframe. I thought maybe you had some more details. Okay, no, I don't. Speaking of coffee being black, anytime I watch a movie and there's someone drunk and they go, put on a pot of coffee black. I'm like, it's not gonna make someone less drunk by adding some cream

and sugar. But the pot is inherently black. You don't put the milk into the pot. Well, they or they say, get me some coffee black. The adding cream and sugar is not going to like make them drunker. You know what I mean? Like, no, let them enjoy, let this drunk person enjoy the coffee they want to drink, you know, the way they want to drink. I think that well, first of all, if you're doing that, you're not in the business of letting the drunk person enjoy anything. Otherwise, you just let them be drunk. Well, this is the thing that we found out, you know, when I was growing up in health class is they were saying like, I grew up in health class.

Yeah, they raised me. That was my education. I just remember very well. I grew up health class. I remember I heard about the vast deference. It was no looking back. I remember very distinctly the health teacher talking about the fact that coffee does not affect your drunk levels.

If you give, if you give a drunk person coffee, you will now just have a wide awake drunk person. Well, I guess that's what they want. Um, but also they're trying to say in movies, they're trying to say like, let's sober this guy up, get him some coffee. Of course, of course, of course. Of course. When did you guys have your first coffee?

I also think we're talking about something. I think they also say black because it's the bitterness of the coffee will help. Make them go, ew. Yeah. It's a little punishment. Snap them out of it. Ouch, I don't like it.

I remember tasting coffee, my dad's coffee when I was a little kid and I did not like it. And I did not like coffee flavored things. And then when I started working on Mr. Show, I started drinking black coffee. Ah. And then when I started working on Mr. Show, I started drinking black coffee. And then I drank it so much that I had to stop drinking it. Cause it was making me crazy. Was it because of the hours or like wanting to be awake or it was wanting to be

awake. Yeah. And then I really liked the way the hours were like 1130. So it's like, and yet we all were still tired. Our hours at home were not. You woke up at 11. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, and yet we all were still tired. Well, because our hours at home were not. You woke up at 11. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then I drank it so much that it was making me so jittery. I stopped for a long time. And then I started again,

like 10 years later, something like that. And I drink it, I drink it black. I drink two cups in the morning. The end. The end. And do you love it? I do love it. And do you feel good?

I do and I knew that I would. Cause you know, I sometimes think, oh, maybe this would be helpful to me in my life. But then I think I've been just raw dog in life, you know, forever. I just, I just get up, you know, if I have to get up at four, I'm up at four. You know, I just do the thing. I wonder if it's a psychological just thing. I don't know. I do think that it's a, it's a, uh, you become dependent on it. And if you stop doing it, you would be miserable for a while and then you would just be normal again.

Yeah. But I wonder if it actually does it. I think it helps because sometimes when I'll have a coffee in the afternoon sometimes, then I can't get to sleep at night. So I stopped doing that. So I may have told this story already, but Janie and I were in New York last year and we went out to dinner with friends. And for some reason, we never do this. But the server asked if we wanted coffee after dinner. And I think we all got coffee. And then we were awake for hours. And it took us so long to realize, oh, it was the coffee. Yeah. We, we, because we never do that.

And I don't know why we did it that night. It just, it sounded good. Yeah. It sounded good. Do you ever do decaf? No, can't do that. Just doesn't sound good. Doesn't sound good.

We, does it taste different? I know. I feel like coffee tastes different to me after the morning. How do they get the calf out of the beans? I don't know, man. They suck it out. Some guys suck it out. Like snake poison. That was good. I let me try to play this one, by the way.

No, my God. When do you get into coffee? So I never even drank it. It had no effect on my life at all. I was like a soda person. Up till probably when you just said Mr. Show, I then flashed back to the fact that we would go to that 7-Eleven on the way to the office every single morning, get a big, like it wasn't big gulp size necessarily, but it was like a big thing of coffee, pour a bunch of cream into it, pour a bunch of sugar into it, and then get a package of those chocolate donuts. And every single day. And I wondered why I gained weight. I used to love those chocolate, like the Entenmann's. Yeah. Yeah. Those little guys like those like

frosted, but then they give like a film on your roof of your mouth. Yeah. But it was always like, Oh, those are so good. Yeah. I love them. But they're very easy to eat. So then I don't even think that like Starbucks was necessarily too popular. I think it started becoming popular in the mid nineties, but it still hadn't like permeated my life or whatever.

So then I think when once that started happening in the late nineties, then it was like, Oh, okay. And then, and then we lived when we live by that Trader Joe's, it was also by Coffee Bean. There was a reason to walk the dogs every day. It was like, let's go down to the Coffee Bean. I would think the shit in the piss would be the reason. Oh, that's right. I thought that was secondary to me though. I, yeah, I think I like the ritual. Also my dogs are shit in piss. These dogs are on their own. Mike is very into coffee and he has like a whole system for making it with the Chemex and all this stuff. He was doing a hand grinder for a long time and then we got like a smeg grinder as like a special treat.

And he was like, well, this is amazing because it takes one second to grind. And it was so nice. A hand grinder. I know it was so. The fuck? I don't know. It was just what it was. was you also building a wooden boy that he hopes will become real He is working on that how'd you know I'm I'm so sorry he's out doing that every day He's got one foot done It looks perfect though. Um, I never liked Starbucks because I drink my coffee black, right? Yeah, do you and your significant other have the same coffee habits though?

No, we do not. She takes it with milk and I do not. And she drinks it every day? We both drink it every day. So you make a pot or do you have like the- Make a pot. Do you have like the little pods? No, no, no, we make a pot.

We do the pods. Yeah. Because we, well, I do the pods and Cool Up has an espresso machine that she uses. So we do very different things. I remember, was it espresso? I thought had more caffeine in it, but it doesn't. Oh, it doesn't.

Oh, good for them. No. But it's just less, you drink less. Yeah. But you get the same caffeine. But for some reason, I always thought it was that that it was if you wanted to like, you know, wake up or whatever. But isn't it kind of like that because it's like, it's the volume of the drink has as much as a cup of coffee. I don't think so.

Oh, I don't think so. So even though you're drinking less, so you're drinking less caffeine because you're drinking less. You're basically just drinking a sip of coffee. Yeah, I don't believe it. I don't think that this is true. So you're drinking less caffeine because you're drinking less. You're basically just drinking like a sip of coffee. Yeah. I don't believe it. I don't think that this is true. All right. Well, I'm not going to look it up. Look it up.

I don't want. OK. Why not? It's what we're talking about. And look it up on YouTube so we can hear the ad. I just want to hear what kind of depressing ad they're going to play before. Tired of cancer?

I know. It was every time. Oh my god. Tired of cancer? I know, it was every time. Oh my God. Is two shots of espresso a lot of coffee is one thing I've found. That's not how you would phrase that.

Is two shots of espresso a lot of coffee? Well, I mean, okay, do you wanna know the answer? 63 milligrams, there. Does that satisfy you? So no comparison to anything else? It doesn't make any sense. How much do you want me to say in comparison to this? Yes, I do.

This is getting so resistant to this. This is being so specific. Yeah, that's the whole point. Espresso typically has 63 milligrams of caffeine in one ounce. By contract, regular coffee, by contrast, has 12 to 16 milligrams of caffeine in one ounce by contract regular coffee by contrast has 12 to 16 milligrams of caffeine in every ounce so it's only like four or five times the amount of caffeine in espresso in espresso yeah has four four times the amount of coffee uh regular cup of coffee it has five or six times the amount of caffeine. I got steered wrong.

Yeah. Somebody told me a fib. Somebody really lied to you. Somebody once told me there's less coffee than espresso. Speaking of Entenmann's. Oh, okay. This was my treat when I was a broke young man. Oh my God, yes.

I would get that fucking- That sheet cake? Not the sheet cake. That fucking rocked. I would get that fucking- That sheet cake? Not the sheet cake. That fucking rocked. I would get that cheese danish log, that plank of cheese danish, and I would make it last for as long as I possibly could, which was maybe three days.

Yeah. I loved the donut selection. I also loved the sheet cake. I had a roommate who would sometimes eat my cake. Oh fuck, I remember that chocolate frosted cake. Yes. Yes. I think one time she ate the whole thing

and I was like, what? The whole thing. She just like took it. Like with her hands. And I was just like, that was mine, no. You know, I really needed that. I hate this person. I do too.

You don't need to. Really? I can let that go? I think you can let it person. I do too. You don't need to really I can let that go I think you can let it go I get to I haven't seen her in years. I hope you never see her again All right, other with them in hell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'll see her in hell where she's gonna eat a cheesecake forever And you're on the other end, but it wasn't that big actually was really like the size of a book Still I mean you're you're miming something that is not book shaped right this But it wasn't that big actually, it was really like the size of a book. Still! I mean... You're miming something that is not book shaped right now.

This? Oh, I guess that is... In your fucking face! I couldn't see the other part of your hand, but it looked like you were miming a snake. Oh my gosh! So you were saying, I couldn't see what you were doing, but the thing you were doing didn't look like the thing and it's like, but you couldn't see it. Okay, we're going. Bye.

This message is sponsored by Kologard. Because of my own health journey, increasing awareness around the importance of colon cancer screening is a mission close to my heart. And one common misconception about screening for colon cancer is that you should start at age 50. But in actuality, if you're at average risk, the recommended age to start screening is 45. And a great use at home option to screen for colon cancer is with the Coligar test. The Coligar test is a non-invasive, effective and affordable prescription-based, use at home colon cancer screening test that looks for both abnormal DNA and blood in your stool. What I really love about the Coligar test is that it gives the option to screen your

way on your time with no need to take time off of work for prep or procedures. Even if you don't have any symptoms, it is so important to test beginning at 45, because many patients with early stage colon cancer have no symptoms at all and are diagnosed through screening. With zero downtime, no special preparation, and a use-at-home screening test that's delivered right to your door, what more are you waiting for? So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with the Coligard test. You can also request a

Coligard prescription today at coligard.com slash podcast. Do not use the Coligard test if you've had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer. False positive and negative results may occur. Any positive result should be followed by a colonoscopy, not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients. The Hi, everyone.
