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.
Hi, I'm Coolop Eulisak.
And I'm Soojin Park.
And we're your aunties on Add to Cart, a podcast all about the things we buy, the things we
buy into, and what that says about who we are.
We're real life friends who love to talk about what we're adding to cart.
Sometimes that means trying the latest snail serum to slather on our faces, or a sweater
that screams one third ugly.
That's right, Soo.
Each week we dive into honest, oftentimes TMI conversations
about what's taking up space in our shopping carts
and in our minds, be it products, trends,
or something for our auntie book club.
We also bring guests on the show and take a peek
into their carts because the things a person buys
or doesn't says a lot about them.
We like to think of ourselves as aunties to all,
fun, slightly unhinged,
and always ready to share some sage advice and a good product wreck.
Add to Cart is out now, wherever you get your podcasts. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Yeah baby!
Did you think that was a good impression of that lady?
It was! It was certainly better than that impression you did on the last episode.
Of the computer voice.
How dare you! That one didn't sell it at all! Better than that impression you did on the last episode of the computer
Dare hard no one could understand what it was if you're sucking dick is good. Yeah
Welcome to freedom, I'm Scott. Yeah, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet. I have to go home. Paul's going home.
I'm Lauren.
I'm Paul.
What's up?
And this is Freedom.
What's up?
You started rubbing your eyes
and I wanted to rub my eyes.
What's up?
You ever rub your eyes and it feels so good?
Yeah, but do you ever rub them so hard
that you can't see and you're like,
goy, goy, goy, goy, goy.
Yeah, I'm doing it now.
Hey, here's a recent thing.
Oh, tell us.
My fucking, my left side of my jaw
started popping when I chew now.
No.
Never happened, that was never an issue before.
What are you supposed to do about this?
Just one day it started happening.
I don't know, I have a dentist appointment this Friday.
What if I smacked you in the face?
Maybe it would fix it.
That's for amnesia.
Oh, right.
That does work though.
It works like a charm.
Yeah. Yeah.
Also a coconut falling on your head.
Oh yeah, well that just has to happen naturally though.
She can take days.
Yeah.
You can't drop one on someone's head.
If you don't live in a coconut area,
you have to get slapped in the face.
Yeah.
That's just the way it is.
Some things will never change.
Remember that guy?
Coconut slapped in the face.
No, who's that guy?
Bruce Horsby.
Bruce Horsby.
Oh, that's just the way it is.
I know him by just, that's just the way it is, but.
Yeah, he usually goes by that, but.
Yeah.
Some things never change.
That is a jam.
What was his other song?
I don't know, but it's good.
Mandolin Wind.
Oh, the mandolin.
Listen to the mandolin wind.
That was a voice type that was so popular.
Absolutely.
Michael McDonald.
That's so interesting that everyone was like, yep, that.
Wait, you categorize them in the Michael McDonald category?
The way I do them.
Oh, I see.
It's basically the same.
It's just the word is.
It's basically the same.
It's just the word is.
And then there was like the, these bands.
Blah, blah.
Blink 180.
Blah, blah.
On the way here, I was listening to the presidents of the United States of America singing Peaches.
But then I was like, didn't they really surprise?
Peaches come from a can, they were put there by a man in a factory downtown.
Weird Al?
Okay, but here's my question.
Do you think when they wrote Lump that they thought it was was gonna be a huge hit and everyone was gonna love it?
No, no, because they're like just a little indie band
that did funny songs. That was crazy,
that everyone was like, Lump?
Yeah, we love this.
I love that song. Yep, we're on board.
I listen to that all the time.
Did you really? I loved that.
No idea what it's about.
It's about a guy named Lump, right?
Yeah. No, it's a woman named Lump.
She's Lump.
Oh, I thought it was He's Lump.
She's Lump. She's in my head.
I probably was because of weirdump. She's Lump.
She's in my head.
I probably was because of Weird Al.
He's Gump.
He's Gump.
I'm probably thinking that's weird.
I like the name, the Presidents of the United States of America.
It's a great band name.
I think it's a good band name.
Yeah, it is.
Where are they now?
I want to know.
I bet they're still around.
They replaced the animatronic presidents in Disneyland.
So now it's them.
That's great. So they just sing Lump and Peaches all day long. No, they say all the stuff now it's them. That's great.
So they're just seeing lump and peaches all day long.
No, they say all the stuff that the president said.
Oh, good.
It's hilarious to me that they had to put-
But they do it live.
They had to put Donald Trump in there.
It's so funny.
It's so funny.
When you go to Disneyland, have a good time,
and then you walk in that room and you got to see him.
With his too long tie.
I actually haven't been in there in a million years,
so it's updated with the current people.
Yeah, they always put the current president in there.
It's like the year that this happened,
it must have been like, oh, fuck.
I guess we're gonna do it.
I don't go to that because it seems boring.
When you're at Disneyland, you gotta go watch the business.
I wanna go now though.
I like going to the weird things
that no one goes to at Disneyland.
Well, it's always nice when it's like a cold inside place
that nobody's in because it's boring.
Like I love the train,
I love the train around the perimeter.
Did you see that movie, A Cold Inside Place?
The train around the perimeter.
The Monorail?
Oh no, the train.
No, the train, because it's boring.
No, no, I went on that one time and I'd never been on it.
And I was like-
I like boring things.
I thought it was really cute.
I think I would have liked it when I was little,
like when they show you the little like scenes.
Dioramas of the dinosaurs and stuff.
I like the old school things from the 50s that people consider boring now that no one
lines up for.
Examples.
Like the train or the president.
More examples.
Or like Steamboat Willie.
No one's really excited to go watch that.
Yeah, exactly.
Like all the stuff on Main Street is it. No offense, Walt.
It's essentially, they play the cartoon.
You walk into your room.
That's it?
Yeah.
Ha, ha, ha.
It's a theater dedicated to one cartoon.
Or the magic shop that Steve Martin used to work in.
Right, right, right.
Oh yeah.
I'd go in there.
I'm making big plans to return to Disneyland this summer.
Whoa.
COVID better not stop me.
I haven't been in a long time.
I'm gonna take it my nephews.
Are they basing a ride on you? I'm gonna take it my nephews. Yeah, they're gonna base a ride on me. I'm gonna take my nephews. Are they basing a ride on you?
I'm gonna take my nephews.
Yeah, they're gonna base a ride on me.
The wrong Missy ride.
The wrong Missy coaster.
It's a Disney film, you didn't know that?
I know I'm really excited and I'm planning a trip
and I'm like, it has to happen.
You're planning a trip 45 minutes south?
Well, because I wanna get a hotel room
and I want to make it a whole thing.
Well, so I was looking it up and first of all,
the prices seem lower right now.
And I don't know if that's, I know,
but I don't know if that's like right now
and I should buy it now or if it's gonna stay.
Right here, right now.
Yeah, but I want to get a room and have my parents come
and have my brother and his wife and kids.
You should set up a tent in your, my white wife.
I was gonna say brother and his white wife say brother and wife is what I almost said.
She is though.
You should set up a tent in your room.
Oh, fine!
I don't know.
One little tip.
This is... that's kind of fun.
Well, I was looking at Grand California as a place to stay.
You stayed there and did not like it.
Really?
It sucks.
The lobby is great.
And you're right there adjacent to California Adventure.
You walk around and you're in the park.
But it's so expensive and it's not worth it.
Well, the Grand California also doesn't have a pool,
which I don't care about, but little kids like.
The little kids love it, yeah.
And that was the thing about our nephew is like,
we went to Disneyland for, I think it was one day,
maybe even two, and he had the most fun at the pool,
at the hotel, just jumping in the pool over and over.
We could just go to a hotel
and he'd probably have a great time.
You could go to this pool right here.
But I usually take them to Disneyland whenever they visit
and now it's been two years since they visited.
And so I'm like, I gotta make it big
and do a hotel and make it a whole thing.
How old are you now? They're nine and six about to be, yeah. Oh, I got to make it big and do a hotel and make a whole thing. How old are you enough you know?
They're nine and six about to be.
Oh, I forgot you had two.
I have two.
Yeah.
They're getting older.
There we go.
But still prime Disneyland time.
Oh, even better.
Cause now they can really enjoy it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like two years ago, well, they loved it,
but it's like, they always hit that wall
or then they get exhausted and like start crying and stuff.
And it's like, I think nine and six,
you're kind of like ready to.
Yeah, partay.
Partay.
Child style.
We went with Alyssa over here, my sister-in-law.
And she was young enough that she really
wanted Goofy's autograph.
Oh, I chased him down for the autographs.
And Goofy.
For my nephews who don't care.
Goofy was on like crack or something
because he kept like, he kept doing this dance like,
you can't catch me, you can't catch me.
And he would run away from it.
That's pretty fun.
Is that typical behavior of people who are on crack?
I think so.
You can't catch me, you can't catch me.
Why is everybody so mad about it?
I chased down multiple characters
when I was there with them last.
Because I wanted to fill the autograph book,
because when I was little,
that was a highlight of the one time
I went to Disney World as a kid.
I didn't even know this was a thing.
Oh, I would look at it over and over again,
like all their, they have special signatures, each one.
So I was like, I gotta get them all,
but I'm gonna do it again.
We gotta just do it again.
I wonder, it must be, if you are that character,
you have to learn that signature.
Yes, they have a signature.
I'm looking right at you, motherfucker.
Well, I also know this.
You're telling me what it is instead of just asking me?
Well, obviously I'm directing it at you so you can confirm or deny.
Famously Scott played Brer Bear.
Goofy.
Oh shit.
I'm the titular Goofy.
Weren't you the bear?
I was Brer Bear a lot.
I was Goofy a lot.
You were Goofy when you got lost, right?
I was the big bad wolf.
Yeah, I was Goofy when I got lost.
Oh, no, I thought you were Brer Bear when I got lost.
No, I was Brer Bear when I got lost. Oh, no, I thought you were a bear.
No, I was a bear bear when I got lost.

They have air conditioning in the suits now.
So a lot has changed since the late 80s.
People don't get heat stroke and wander off.
Yeah.
Well, because I feel like...
Shush, shush, you're Lauren.
Yeah.
Shush, shush, shush.
Do you still have that autograph book?
I do, yes.
Of course you do.
They probably lost theirs by now.
So I'm like, I don't know if they...
Maybe they didn't.
Maybe they cared.
But I cared.
I have everything ever. Yeah. These kids today. I know I saved it all people.
But I love that stuff. And I want to bring Holly and then you know, part of what I want
to get the hotel to so that she can take a nap and doesn't be so crazy by herself while
you go off. I mean, look, if they're down splash, they'll let you stay, um, in the Millennium Falcon.
What?
If you pay him enough.
Really?
But under like in the, in the, where they hide people.
I've never been to California adventure.
Um, oh, you gotta go.
Cause cars land is really where it's at.
No, I don't care about cars at all, but the land is great.
The land is great. They made it so cute. Very poetic. It's No, I don't care about cars at all, but the land is great. The land is good. The land is great.
They made it so cute.
Very poetic guys.
It's very...
I think we've gotten shit for talking about Disneyland
before, but you know what?
Yeah, people don't like it.
Who cares?
Because people think it's corporate bullshit.
Everything is.
I think they also think like,
aren't you an adult?
Why are you talking about Disneyland so much?
Well, because it's fun.
Yeah, fun to act like you're fucking three years old.
I love to, look, long before I ever had a baby,
I was Disneyland all the time.
When I moved here, I was so confused
because everyone at UCB had a fucking season pass
to Disneyland and they'd be going all the time
on their days, you know, when they didn't have work
or anything, just a whole group.
I'm confused.
Going all the time.
All the time.
And then I was like, oh, I guess everyone goes to Disneyland.
Well, it's right there.
So I guess everyone just goes.
But no, it's like an hour down.
Yeah, but it's closer than you've ever been
if you're from Chicago.
You know, it's like, wow, this is amazing.
So I got my season pass and I would go quite often.
A few times a year.
Quite often.
Quite often.
Ooh.
But it's so fun to have it in your right so close by.
I've been a handful of times over the years.
The thing about Disneyland that I always have this moment
anytime I've been, where it's like,
you see the magic and innovation of it,
especially if you go to like an older thing.
Yeah.
But you also see like the,
like the money behind it,
like the thirst for money behind it.
Like the cynicism of it.
As an adult.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's wild.
It's because they both exist at the same time.
Like that thing with the birds from around the world,
whatever that's the Tiki room.
The Tiki room.
It's like, you see the 1950s magic of it,
of like, or 60s, whenever it was made, like that,
they had an idea of like, we're gonna make these things
that nobody's ever seen before,
it's gonna be charming and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it's gonna make us a shit ton of money.
Exactly, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like there's a, there's a, the method to it of,
it has to be that, it has to be that you don't see the cynicism of it, it has to be that you don't see
the cynicism of it.
It has to be like, people have to be charmed by it,
kids have to have like wonder in their eyes
when they gaze upon these things,
but also we're gonna be fucking rich.
It's really weird.
I mean, that's a lot of art.
Yeah, exactly.
It's weird, like movies, it's weird how they exist
side by side, you know, all wrapped up in the same thing.
But I mean, it doesn't mean that it's not special.
I do like the fact that Disney keeps things like the Tiki Room
and the old stuff that they could easily pave over and put something new in.
I mean, yes, they do that all the time.
Adventures of in Inner Space, where I touched my first boob.
That's a good example.
Right after you said, excuse me, ma'am.
You brushed by a woman.
But it's gone now.
It's, I think it's a start to us.
Like permanently gone?
Yeah, it's start to us, I think.
I thought they could swap things in and out.
Like they put them, like, cause I think. I thought they could swap things in and out. Like, they put them, like...
Because I think when I saw the Tiki Room,
it was, like, reopened or something.
Well, they definitely update things sometimes,
or, like, give it a facelift or whatever,
but the Tiki Room is a good example
of something that's, like, charming from 1955,
but to modern audiences, like,
if you don't just buy into the charm...
Oh, it's a true relic.
It's very easy to go like,
let's just put something new in there.
Like, I am the German bird,
and I like to sing about pretzels.
Right. And Small...
It's a Small World is a great example.
It's huge and takes up so much real estate,
and it's so boring.
Yeah.
And it's just there,
and it's so long and stupid.
But I liked... Like lights, but it's great. As a kid, I liked, as a kid I liked anything where you go in something, like a boat.
Like that was always exciting, or like a train.
So I feel like that, it's a great ride for that reason.
No it is, it's great, but that's what I mean, it's great, but,
and they could very easily go like, let's just make this Star Wars or whatever.
But instead they keep it around because it's charming,
which I love.
The cement footprints and handprints
in front of the Chinese theater,
they swap those out too.
They do?
Yes.
Not really the newer ones, but they've had some.
Wait, like who?
Do you mean the newer ones or the ones they swap out?
What are they swapping?
Like people from the 30s essentially. Oh, where you know who they are anymore? You know, the 40s or 50 ones that swap out? Or like who, what are they swapping? Like some people from the 30s essentially.
Oh, where you know who they are anymore?
40s or 50s.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sometimes, like- That's sad.
Because there's such limited real estate there now
and they were just given away for a while.
Yeah.
That now they just like kind of move in and out like-
That's interesting, huh?
It's also kind of sad though.
It's like Clara Bow or whoever the fuck.
It's like, well, C-3PO is more famous than you are.
But even the Star Trek people, it's like, you know, because they have the whole big
uh, uh, Federation insignia and all that that they put in there. Like at some point people are not going to give a shit and they'll just swap those out. Yeah, I guess, I guess that's okay. At some point
wherever the podcast cement, you know, things are. Yeah, we put our ears into cement.
And mouths.
Our ears.
Our ears and our rears.
Yep.
I just watched this movie, Kimmy last night.
Oh, how is it?
It's really enjoyable.
It popped up on my app of some sort.
And guess what?
Surprise, surprise, Andy Daly's in this movie.
Oh yeah.
He uses a lot of comedians. Well, not as many thataly's in this movie. Oh yeah, he uses a lot of comedians.
Well, not as many as I'd like.
Not as many that have been on this show.
I was in The Informant.
You were?
I said it that way because it has an exclamation mark at the end.
That's right, he used a ton of comedians on that one.
Paul, I haven't seen a lot of your big works, I would say.
Papa Roach?
That's not one of my big works.
No, but I mean even that's a big movie or whatever.
Like, I would like to see that.
What are your big works?
You got The Informant.
There Will Be Blood.
I saw before I knew you, but I haven't rewatched it since I've known you.
Tenacity in the Pick of Destiny.
That is far and away my biggest film role. I think I have two scenes.
Right.
But people really remember that.
Yes, they do.
And of course, it was not a big hit at the time.
But then DVD, it became much more popular.
DVD?
What's that?
I don't want to say.
OK.
So it's a private joke for you.
It's OK.
Meanwhile, over here, we got the wrong Missy and Babysitter. It's your favorite thing.
You do mention the wrong Missy a lot.
Also in fucking Jurassic World.
How about that, bitch?
Why isn't, is there any kind of, Universal Studios I guess?
What kind of Jurassic Park representation do they have there?
They have the ride, which is great.
There is a ride, yeah.
Although they redid the ride
and I don't know whether it's any good anymore.
I haven't been on it though.
What happens on the ride?
I haven't been there.
So I'm not looking at you.
First of all.
You were though.
And then I stopped when I asked my question.
First of all, before you get there.
Because I knew this nerd had been on it.
Before you get there, you watch TVs where your guy is there.
Wait, this is at home?
No, this is before, like when you're in line.
Yeah, they nail out DVDs for you.
Before you get to Universal Studios, you watch TV.
Yeah.
So your guy is there welcoming you and saying things like.
Richard Attenborough, he's not my guy.
But saying. His brother is my guy.
But saying things like. Welcome to Jurassic Park!
And also...
Goodbye!
Dino DNA!
Dino DNA!
There it is!
He doesn't say it!
But...
So he's sitting there like introducing things and all that.
It's like my mom would say,
I saw your friend on TV last night.
Oh my god, I told her.
And I'd say, who? And she'd say, I saw your friend on TV last night. Oh my god, totally. And I'd say who?
And she'd say, the comedian who does
the political songs with the piano.
Like Meryl Streep.
Mark Russell?
I told you my mom said,
cause there's a,
there's this punk musician, Milo Ackerman,
that I'm not related to.
And everyone always asks me,
are you related?
I've never heard of such a man.
He's in the descendants, I believe.
And everyone's like, are you related or are you,
we're not.
But my mom-
You related, you related.
Are you related?
Everyone's like, are you related, are you related,
are you related, are you related?
My mom was like-
Just the way you have to ask.
My mom was like-
Like an auction.
Hey, he's claiming that you're related on his website.
What? And I was like, what? His website is- you're related on his website What and I was like what his website and I go?
sites of Wikipedia
I was like he's not claiming that mom anyone can edit comedy bang bang fan is claiming that yeah, that is so funny
So okay, so you
Like someone's updating their Wikipedia so you get into a like it, like it's a, it's a flume ride.
So you get into a log.
We're fun.
Yes.
You're in a log in the Jurassic?
Maybe it's not a log, it's a car.
You ruined it for the whole log.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, what was it?
Doug Benson bit.
Oh yeah.
Good.
You know what?
I gotta take my nephew to Universal.
That's an easy day.
It's an easy day.
It's way cheaper.
There are a lot of...
It's a little more hardcore than Disneyland in terms of like, you know...
The rides are more intense.
The rides are a little more intense.
Yeah.
But I love that the movie tour ride where you see Jaws and all those things.
Oh, that's fun. Yeah. And that's a good 20, 30 minutes.
And you go through Fast and Furious and there's this...
Did I tell you about the extra and the background artist
in the Fast and Furious ride where he's like,
and they left it in, but he like slaps this model
on the butt as they're leaving.
And they left it into the final cut.
Anyway, it seems skeevy to me.
Yeah, I thought it was bad.
In any case, so you go into the-
Not displaying the class of the franchise.
You go into the... Not displaying the class of the franchise. You go into the car, you're having a nice, you know, docile... A daiquiri. Oh, sorry.
I wish. You're having a nice docile ride as you look at stegosaurus and stuff.
And then you go down the wrong...
Pipe?
You go down the wrong track., you go down the wrong track.
You're in someone's body, it's a Magic School bus.
And you go down the wrong pipe and they start choking.
And then you're gonna be as suffocated.
There's this part that's like out of order, out of order, don't go, don't enter, but you
accidentally go that way.
And they're like, no, don't go that way.
It's a lot like Splash Mountain in that way.
And then you're in the dangerous part of the ride.
Does anyone yell from the log,
we have no control!
I hope so.
Stop screaming at me!
And then there's like dinosaurs that spit water at you,
which is fun.
It's really fun.
And dinosaurs that come out at you.
And then you go up like a big incline
and then right as, and then you're in the dark
and right as- Oh no. And then right as you're like- I feel like the listeners feel then you're in the dark and right as you know
and then right as you're like listeners feel like they're on the ride right as
you're moving through it suddenly of a huge t-rex comes down is about to eat
you and you're going right in its mouth and then I was hoping a little one would
come out and then you think you're gonna be eaten but that's where the drop is
and you drop thank God for that drop They put that there. And our nephew
hated it so much. Was he scared or he just didn't like it? We have the funniest picture of him crying as
as he's going down it. He hates it so much. It's so funny because even maybe now he would be fine
with it. But had he seen Jurassic Park? I don't know., so this is on you. That's part of it too.
No, but just the whole ride of like going down the incline
and being scared and all that.
But once I was trapped on that ride.
I got trapped on Indiana Jones.
Really, what part?
I got trapped in the closet.
I got trapped in the line right before you get on,
but I was in a stairwell.
Trapped in the line.
They couldn't let us out.
Wait, that's just being in line.
No, but they couldn't.
We were there for hours.
Hours?
They couldn't let us out.
We were too far, I think, to go back or something.
It was like, and then-
They couldn't let anyone out.
But they wouldn't.
They couldn't.
There was some reason.
I don't remember what it was, that the power went out
or something crazy.
And so we were down there for hours, my friend and I.
And I mean, it was really boring, but yeah.
We were trapped on the Jurassic Park ride
on the incline going up.
Oh wow.
And it was like, kept trying to get us up,
so it kept jerking us up.
Oh.
Oh.
Jiggy, jiggy.
Oh no.
And this was the first thing we did in the morning
because it was the most popular ride.
It just opened.
And so this was at 7 15 in the morning.
Oh my God, way too early.
Trapped for 45 minutes.
We'd be on a ride at 7 15 a.m.
Like later breakfast.
A wet scare ride.
What the hell?
Why are they even open?
Yeah, they really shouldn't be.
So we're trapped in this for 45 minutes.
And there was this like old man with his grandson behind us who were when they got on the ride was like, yeah, we're on it.
And it was like going to be a great day for them.
And by, by like minute 25, they were arguing.
He was like, I don't know what to do.
Just cutting you out of my will.
That's horrible.
It didn't ruin their day.
You're not getting my Honus Wagner baseball card now.
Oh my God.
And then, and then all they did at the end of it.
Grandpa yelling.
We finally, after 45 minutes, we went through
and no one's in the mood to be scared at that point
and to go down the incline or anything like that.
T-Rex comes down and be like, fuck you.
Fuck you.
At the end, we get off the ride
and there's just a guy passing out like line,
front of line passes to it to go on again.
He's like, here you go.
They should have given you like 20 bucks to the restaurants.
That was the only time that I've written like a complaint letter
to Universal Studios and I wrote like a letter
describing the experience.
And they had just had,
because they had been testing the ride out,
it had sprayed hot oil on a bunch of people
before it had ever opened officially.
Hot oil.
Yeah, hot oil and it scarred people.
What?
And so in the letter I wrote, like, after 45 minutes,
we were just wishing someone would spray hot oil on us.
Sassy Yelp review.
And this is the only time it's ever happened.
They called me personally and apologized
and gave me free tickets to return to
the park. Wow. Did they say at any point like you didn't need to be sarcastic? I like to think that
she thought it was funny but the one thing she said do you still have your receipts to get in?
I said no I'm sorry we threw it away. She goes I'll still give you the tickets. Yeah you're goddamn
right you will. Wow. What a nice person. What a nice person.
Anyway, they've revamped it now.
I don't know if it's any good anymore.
So that might not describe the ride at all.
Yeah, but it was a great...
For the time?
Oh!
It was amazing.
Yeah.
All right.
Any ride you guys want to describe or should we take a break?
Backdraft.
Greatest ride in history.
What happened?
I went on it once.
I don't remember. It's just hot. Like, you go from place to place went on it once. I don't remember you.
It's just hot.
Like you go from place to place and then it's like, here's a fire.
Here's another fire.
Here's a different.
I guess shit is like falling down because it's a burning building or something.
It's like, what a weird idea.
It was so weird.
I remember it being bad.
Yeah, it was bad.
All right.

This message is brought to you by KolaGuard, a non-invasive colon cancer screening test.
Did you know that colon cancer is considered the most preventable, yet least prevented
cancer?
When caught at early stages, colon cancer is survivable in 90% of people, so screening
and early detection are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths.
That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you are at average risk,
you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45.
And a convenient way to do that is with the Cologuard test.
The Cologuard test is delivered to your door
and allows you to feel more in control
of your colon cancer screening
and do it on your own schedule,
with none of the prep that is required of a colonoscopy.
Plus, the Cologuard test is affordable.
Most insured patients pay zero dollars. And if a follow-up colonoscopy is needed, this coli guard test is affordable. Most insured patients pay zero dollars.
And if a follow-up colonoscopy is needed, this is covered by most insurance plans.
So if you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your healthcare provider about screening
for colon cancer with the coli guard test.
You can also request a coli guard prescription today at coli guard dot com slash podcast.
The coli guard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal
cancer.
Do not use a cologuard test if you have had adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease
and certain hereditary syndromes, or a personal or family history of colorectal cancer.
The cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients.
Cologuard test performance in adults ages 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older.
False positives and false negatives can occur. Kologuard is available by prescription only.
What's up everybody? I am very excited to tell you about something we've been cooking up over here.
Alright, it's called Legacy Talk with Lena Waithe.
It's all about celebrating the brilliance and artistry of some of the most iconic black women in entertainment. I'm honored to have been in conversation with
powerhouses such as Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Lewis, Debbie Allen and more. On these conversations
we discuss process, their journey and how they became the incredible women they are
today. Legacy Talk from Hillman Grad and Lemonade Media is out November 12th on all platforms. Alright, Ann we're back.
I know I am.
Came back in the middle of Lauren's yawn.
I'm here.
No, no, you're here, but I felt bad
because like I said, Ann we're back
and then I glanced over and you're like, yawn.
Hippopotamus time over there.
Oh my goodness, I'm great at doing this.
But you know what, we should do're revamping the jungle cruise.
The jungle cruise?
The jungle cruise, where you go do a word jumble
as you take a cruise.
Have you guys ever wanted to take a cruise,
a literal cruise?
I've been on one, I hate cruises.
I just think they're awful.
Did it take you a while to get your sea legs or?
Yes it did.
How long?
Well, a few days.
I was really sick during it.
That was the time where my boyfriend at the time was performing with Second City and On
the Cruise.
And so I went to visit.
Did anyone like improv on a cruise?
I think they really did.
But the cast had to stay in rooms that had no window, if I recall correctly.
That sucks.
Yeah.
So it was like, kind of throws you off too a little bit, I think.
Yeah, because you can't see.
You're down in the bilge.
Yeah.
Because you get seasick or carsick when your eyes are not able to see where you're moving.
Yeah, so I felt really horrible for a lot of that.
And then I remember watching the show and then getting up afterwards and like everyone
was like falling over, walking up the stairs because there started to be like a very rocky
thing during the show and even the cast was like sliding around.
And then we all stood up at the end and everyone was like, like falling over because they had
no sense of.
How does this sound?
Why does anyone go on these things?
I don't know.
I've heard the Alaska ones are nice.
I mean, I think it's cool to see multiple things, but I just think I don't really want to be on a boat
with people.
I hear these are nice, let's go on one of them.
It just seems really like not fun.
Also, this was in Hawaii and like,
you just would get out of different islands for like a day
and get to walk around.
I'd rather just stay on one island and enjoy myself
than like go around.
They're all similar when you're only seeing them
for a moment and you basically get off and see like where they...
Yeah, you can't get a sense of what...
Yeah, I don't think I would like the Puerto Rico cruises
or whatever like...
See, I stayed on the boat.
Yeah, exactly.
Where was it?
I stayed on the boat.
It was to the Caribbean both times.
And you didn't get off?
Did I do it three times?
And I didn't get off.
Well, because I figured, because for that reason,
I was like, I would rather just go there directly
and spend some time.
Who wants to go see like someone selling you T-shirts and stuff on a dock, essentially? That's what you're... Because for that reason, I was like, I would rather just go there directly and spend some time.
Someone selling you t-shirts and stuff on a dock, essentially. That's what you're...
I mean, that's all I want to see. Should I have gotten off?
At that point, I did want to see that because I didn't like being on the boat.
But does it ruin your sea legs when you get back on?
Probably. It probably made it worse. I don't know. I don't remember. But
yeah, I don't, I really am not a huge fan of boats it worse. I don't know. I don't remember, but yeah, I don't I really am not a huge fan of boats in general
I don't remember a time where I loved- On our honeymoon we went out on a dolphin
What?
They rode a dolphin. I'm married. This is exciting. You guys got on a dolphin
First of all, you guys got married. Whoa. Second of all, you rode a dolphin. No, no, we got it
We went on a cruise that where a dolphin watching
I mean that's neat to get to see animals like whale watching cruises We rode a dolphin. No, no, we got it. We went on a cruise that were dolphin watching.
I mean, that's neat to get to see animals
like whale watching cruises.
That seems really cool.
And it was all fun.
And we saw so many dolphins and videoed them
and took pictures and it was great.
And then they were like, oh, by the way, on the way back
this is going to be pretty rough
and total sick like bar for Rama.
I think we talked about this
because I went on that whale watching.
Jane and I went on that one in Iceland.
Oh, that seems cool.
Did not see a single whale and the sea was so rough.
I forgot.
People were like vomiting all over the place.
See, that's horrible.
I'd rather go to Iceland.
I want to go to Iceland and like see what's up.
Iceland is great.
And not Vienna.
Iceland is great.
It's very cheap to get there.
Land.
Land.
Not ice water.
I can drink that at home.
It's in the name.
But I loved it.
I loved how rough it was. I loved it.
It was like a ride.
But you're an opposite guy.
What?
I'm an opposite guy.
You don't get seasick?
I don't.
I don't get seasick.
I don't get motion sickness.
You get land well.
You're an opposite guy.
I love those cookies.
Land well?
They're sandwich crackers with dirt in them.
No calories in dirt.
That's true.
That's what a lot of people don't realize.
You can eat all the dirt you want, you will never get fat.
I love having pika. I love it. I'm a permanent pika.
Pika always makes me think of my strange addiction.
The guy who would eat drywall?
Well there's a woman who would eat couch.
Couch. There was a woman who would eat couch. Couch. There was a woman who would eat couch.
She's addicted to couch.
And it was like the stuffing.
The foam stuffing.
She had eaten so much.
Is the solution to that usually just admitting it?
Well, there was like a... No, they keep doing it.
There was another...
The film's doing it.
There was a couple where they were obsessed...
I watched this one a couple years ago.
They were obsessed with getting... Giving themselves a couple of years ago, they were obsessed with giving themselves coffee enemas all fucking day.
They had to start working from home
so they could do it all day.
They did it all day.
I mean, I feel like-
They had little stations in their house
where they would like do it, oh my God.
Like the bathroom, I hope?
No, like they had to lay on the floor or something.
So I don't know. Oh no.
Well, let's first establish,
there's no such thing as a normal mind.
The mind is like,
Okay, so I guess you like doing coffee.
I'm like.
No, but you know what I mean?
If anyone out there,
Why do you always sit in the same place?
This is curious.
If anyone out there has a strange addiction,
I'd love to hear about it.
Well, also just, you know,
a lot of empathy towards people.
Like who knows where the mind is going to lead you.
Well, of course I have empathy.
I'm just having fun talking about these coffee animals.
But I felt bad.
It's your strange addiction.
I felt bad for the guy who was eating drywall
because, like, he knew it was making him sick.
Yeah, there was a woman who ate cat, oh, God, cat fur in balls.
She would, like, roll it up and then put it in her mouth
and chew it.
And people in her family were begging her to stop.
And then she went to the doctor and they were like,
well, you have a blockage.
It's the cat fur.
You know, and then you really have to stop doing that.
Yeah.
And she was like, I'm not gonna stop.
Have we talked about this?
I don't know if we have, but I know it from Sandman.
Do you?
Yeah, so do I.
But I feel like I've tried to say it on this podcast before
I'm sure I brought up eating couch, but I don't think I mentioned that
I feel like we've talked about that strange, my strange addiction on the show
Well, I'm sure, well we've talked about it for sure, but I don't know if we talked about the more recent episodes
Okay, so what's going on?
No, that's what I'm saying, the coffee enema is in the cat hair
So what is, what is a coffee enema?
They put coffee up their anus
and then it makes them awake all day or something.
Does the coffee come out the anus or come out the mouth?
Yeah, I think it comes out like soon after.
You can come to a coffee fountain.
They have to be close to the bathroom all day,
which is another reason why they wanted to work from home
so they could have these enemas.
Fucking enema.
And then do this.
The couple had created this ritual together.
That's fun that they do it together.
Yeah, I think that makes it really romantic and cute and it's like not a problem.
It also makes it more of a sustainable addiction if somebody else is doing it right there with
you.
That's true about addiction in general, eh?
Is the show Intervention still on?
I don't know if that is.
That show is so dark.
It was.
I got into watching it for, I would say like a month month or two, and then I just couldn't take it anymore.
That's how I've been with hoarders. Like, sometimes I just can't.
Oh. The one I remember the most, though, was there was a guy,
young man, who was addicted to video games.
Young man.
You're addicted video games.
Young man.
It's become a real shame.
Um...
Are we playing last week's three tournaments?
He was... So he's playing video games all the time, and it was impacting his life and impacting his... It's become a real shame. Are we playing last week's three-chart?
So he's playing video games all the time,
and it was impacting his life, and impacting his...
He had a relationship. He had a girlfriend.
And so when they get to the intervention part,
well, of course.
But when it got to the intervention part,
the intervention was so short,
because the girlfriend was like,
if you don't stop doing this, I'm gonna have to leave you.
He was like, I'll stop.
And then he just stopped.
Well, like that's not the same as other types of education.
I know!
But it was like, of course, most of the show
is the addiction and you see the person doing it
and you talk to the people that it's affecting, you know,
and all that shit.
I know, the one that I mean, I always remember
is the one who sucked canned air.
Oh, you know, what?
You know, that spray air that you spray dust off.
Oh, wait, is an intervention part of my strange addiction or no?
No, no, this was an intervention.
Oh, OK. And she would suck that.
It's basically get really high and talk really slow.
And then, oh, wait, wait, is she sucking the nitrous?
Whatever comes in those dust spray cans.
She's just sucking the air.
She's sucking the nitrous?
Well, there must be something in it.
Well, you know, like Whippets, Whippets is-
Or maybe it just slows the brain or something.
I don't know.
Whatever it was, she'd be like,
there was a whole compilation on YouTube of her going like,
I'm walking on sunshine.
Yeah, she's doing, yeah, she's not just,
she's not doing the, literally air.
She's doing the stuff that's in there that makes it come out.
Yeah, okay, that makes sense.
Anyway, it was pretty intense.
Wow.
Jesus Christ.
It stuck with me, it stuck with me.
Whenever I see one of those cans, I think of that.
The thing that really bummed me out was that at the end,
they would do like an update on the people, you know,
and then there was,
I would say half of them went back to using
whatever they were using.
It's really sad, yeah.
It was really sad.
Yeah.
And I was like, why am I watching this?
Hey, if you're out there struggling with something,
there are a lot of resources that you can...
Yes, absolutely.
Please.
Absolutely.
We don't know any.
We're not making light of that.
It's that you're saying you're watching the show too much.
I'm trying not to make light of it at all. It was just a bug.
I'm not even making light of it with the walking on sunshine.
I am a good person!
I'm saying it just stuck with me forever.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was like the video game I stuck with me.
Like he was like, no.
You've never played a video game since then.
No, and I kept a girlfriend.
Oh my god. Mike got a PS5.
Who got a PS5?
Mike did. He was waiting PS5. And it's-
Who got a PS5?
Mike did.
He was waiting on some-
No wonder he never texts us anymore.
We gotta be game buddies.
Oh, you have a PS5?
Yes, I do.
I got one.
I had the weird thing where I ordered online
and I just got it.
He had to sit there one morning.
I got into whatever pocket.
Oh yeah.
And I was like-
A whole pandemic my friend's been trying to get on.
And people were like, man, these are impossible. And I was like, let me a whole pandemic my friends been trying Yeah, and people were like man, these are impossible
And I was like, let me just get on a wait list or something or whatever and it was like I I can't remember
It might even Best Buy. I was like, do you want to pick it up in store? I was like, yes
For Best Buy sure get one sure
Well, cool up gave me a tabletop Pac-Man Galaga for Christmas It's a gift certificate for Best Buy. Should I get one? Sure. What do you play on it? Do you like video games?
Well, Cool Up gave me a tabletop Pac-Man Galaga
for Christmas.
Wow, what the fudge?
Right in there.
Really?
Yeah, it's fun.
Tabletop means like an arcade game?
Yeah, it's arcade, but it's instead of the standup,
it's a tabletop.
Like those Pac-Mans, do you ever see that, one of those?
The screen's like on the table, essentially.
But yeah, it's Dig Dug, Galaga.
Galaga has been the one we've been playing the most
because there's like a ton of different Pac-Man stuff,
but I like Galaga a lot.
So that's been fun.
So every once in a while,
she'll just come into my office while I'm working
and be like, it's Galaga time.
Nice.
And then we play some Galaga together.
It's fun.
Oh, so she doesn't just play herself.
She makes you also play. He's looking for someone. Well, I enjoy it. He's fun. Oh, so she just play herself. She's
Almost missed it. I know yeah
Man, okay. Yeah, okay. Can you what I don't know if I could talk about can finish
There's okay, there's just okay. Okay. This is hard.
Hard for you to admit.
This is my friend Buddy Fitzpatrick, comedian out of out of New York lives in New Jersey.
We'll say that.
One of my oldest friends.
He when he was growing up, there was this funeral home in his, where he lived, called the House of Gayer.
GAYE.
Yes.
And so I think it was his-
Did a lot of people mistake it for something else or?
Like they go in and go,
oh, I'm surprised this is a funeral home.
Well-
Was the last name of the people?
I think so.
And so when he was a kid
His a friend of his I think started this I think it was in the friends neighborhood house of gay or because buddy
And I grew up not that far from each other
And so they there was this thing where they would like say
Like when they were kid, this is when they were children, of course
Gay gay house of gay or gay, come out gayer.
I don't know how this evolved,
but it got to be that if you started saying it,
the other person's challenge was to say gayer
before you got to the end of the phrase.
Oh, that's a pretty fun one.
So like gay gay house, gay gayer.
Yeah, exactly like that.
So then we started doing it as adults.
Like he told us this.
Right.
And then we started doing it.
And so it randomly pops into my brain.
Like I can't remember what made me think of it just now.
What were we talking about?
I don't even know what we were talking about.
You being gay?
Oh yeah, you were gonna come out.
You being gay-er.
You were gonna tug glass?
Ah, god damn.
On this show?
How do we...
I can't remember what we were talking about.
Did he come out on a podcast?
On WTF.
Oh, I guess I...
Not even his own podcast!
That's how selfless he is.
He's a great guy.
He gave it to Mark Merritt.
Not even his own podcast.
What are you doing, bro?
He was allowed to plug that book.
Oh. No, he didn't write the book for two years.
He planned that book.
Oh, yes. A crafty plan.
You think it's going to take Todd Glass 30 minutes to write a book?
Of course it took him two years.
You can't even read a book.
But if you've not read Todd Glass' book, it's really good.
I miss Todd.
I haven't seen him in a long time.
I haven't seen him in so long either.
God, I miss him.
I haven't seen him because, yeah, I mean,
I feel like the last time we saw him
were those stained glass episodes.
One of the funniest and most impassioned guys ever.
Everyone's willing to text me too.
And says, hey, advertise my show for me.
Well, what's it called?
It's called The Todd Glass Show.
There you go.
Yeah. We did it. No text necessary.
Very funny guy.
Do you want me to give Todd you his number?
You want me to give Todd you his number?
Why was that so hard?
No, it couldn't. First of all, you couldn't get it out.
Second of all, why would I need his number?
No, I want to give Todd your number so he can text you randomly.
Oh.
Say, Lauren, I would really appreciate it, but I have this show that's not selling well.
It will honestly be once every two years.
I think I've, I don't know if I've ever met him.
Maybe once.
Maybe once.
One of the funniest guys, just so weird and funny.
He's so great.
He truly is?
And so nice, too, to me, like, when I first started.
Yeah.
Mainly because he wanted me to write him songs
for his act.
He could have been nicer to me when I first started. Oh. Mainly because he wanted me to write him songs for his act. He could have been nicer to me when I first started.
Oh.
Why?
What happened?
He was fine.
He just could have been more incorrect.
He was so, so nice, but he could have been nicer.
He could have been a guy that took me aside and said,
you're so great, and just keep at it.
Yeah, why didn't he do that?
He never did it.
Never did it.
Never did it, never did it, never did it, never did it,
never did it, never did it, never did it.
I did want to say, Paul, you should keep at it, at comedy.
Thank you, I'll take it at any time.
You're so good at it.
There's no time limit on it.
You can tell me any time.
Yeah, I just wanted to say that.
I'm gonna tell you now, that I think you're really good
and I think you should keep pursuing this.
Thank you very much, thank you.
Coming from both of you, that means a lot to me.
Did I tell you, my mom at one point, she stopped doing this like maybe 10 years ago.
Stopped encouraging me to go back to school.
Oh my God.
Even up to maybe 10 years ago, she's like, do you ever think you're going to go back
and get your degree?
I'm like, why?
She's like, well, you can't know everything, can you?
Like she was couching it like,
there's still so much to learn.
And that is the only reason I,
like everyone's all look up,
I'll look up like community college classes
and kind of go like, would it be fun to take a class?
We have talked about this a little bit.
And I do think that could be cool.
But you know what you can do?
You can watch lectures online.
Mike does that sometimes.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Oh, Mike does that sometimes?
How to be a good husband.
Why am I not surprised?
I haven't gotten that one yet.
Mike, we love him.
We love him.
He's doing great.
He's doing good?
He's thriving.
How's he taking to fatherhood?
He loves it.
He's fantastic. He loves that baby so much.
He loves the making the baby or the having the baby itself?
He likes every step of the whole ordeal.
The whole ordeal!
From soup to nuts, literally.
When you were a baby, I loved the whole ordeal of you.
I can't wait until he says that on her wedding day.
He loves it so much.
Does he ever like, uh, hold her?
Yep, he does.
Wow.
I love how much he loves it.
I think it's very sweet.
He holds her, he, uh, you know, he cleans, he helps. How love how much he loves it. He holds her, he cleans, he helps.
How's the old diaper sitch?
Well he just texted me that she pooped and it went all the way up to her neck.
So he was just dealing with it.
Babies are like, what the fuck, how is this happening?
I know, it's so funny.
Like, was she upside down?
It squished up or something.
Oh, lying down or something. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Not like standing up.
No.
Eeeeww!
Shut up.
He was holding her upside down
and then it just dripped down to her.
No, that's not what happened.
No, no, no, she was just sitting there.
I think it just happened to me almost every other day.
I mean, I-
Do you poop on your neck?
Yeah, isn't it just something that just happens?
It happens to people. I haven't shit on their neck before., isn't it just something that just happens? It happens to people.
That wasn't shit on their neck before. Come on, get over yourselves.
Yeah, I really don't care about the poop anymore. You know what I mean? You just get immune to the whole situation.
Yeah, oh no, that's the thing. When you love something, I talked about this.
Well, you said you loved your dog shit.
Yes, you have.
It's like, I don't care about my dog shit, but there was a coyote shit over there the other day, and I was just like, god, I can God I can't when you say the other day. This is months ago, right? No, it was story
Cool up started chasing coyotes again last night. What is she? Does she have an implement when she does it?
She's gotten a slingshot
She started practicing
for Christmas.
And I'm like, don't hit the coyotes with a slingshot.
But she started target practice.
Who gave her a slingshot for Christmas?
I feel like it was Kevin Sazer or something.
Oh, that makes sense.
100%.
But so last night, her sister parked over there
and called her and said, hey, Cool Up,
I see a coyote by your pool.
And so Cool Up came rushing out.
I was like, hey, Coolop, I see a coyote by your pool. And so Coolop came rushing out and was like, hey, get out of here.
And it's just to keep them away.
Well, we want to make it unpleasant for them
to be here because we don't want them eating our time.
I'm sorry to say that sounds fun.
I know.
To be yelled at by Coolop?
If Coolop came in and yelled at me, like, get out of here,
I would have a ball.
And she came out and said that to you.
And you were like, are you talking to me? And she's like, yes, Paul, get out of here. If she have a ball. And she came up and said that to you. Every time we show up to the podcast.
And you're like, are you talking to me?
And she's like, yes, Paul, get out of here.
And she was like trying to make herself look big and everything.
Like, go away.
Do they run away?
They run away.
But then I think I told you, they give you one last look.
Like, are you serious?
And you got to give them one last thing of like, yeah, I'm serious.
And then they leave.
All right, see you tomorrow night.
Wild. We got the flashing lights, lights. Yeah, the, I'm serious. And then they leave. All right, see you tomorrow night. Wild.
We got the flashing lights, lights, which is-
A little animal evil Halloween.
They don't work.
No.
Are they scary though?
Because they were here last night.
They're so scary.
Would they scare me?
Yeah.
OK.
Check out my eyes.
I'm never coming back here.
No, no.
Oh my god, you're a teen wolf.
I'm a Biduza.
You're a teen wolf.
You're a teen wolf.
Teenage werewolf.
I've never seen that film. Classic film. I Wolf! Teenage Werewolf!
Classic film! Have you seen it, Scott?
Yes, I've seen Teen Wolf.
And have you seen Teen Wolf 2?
With Jason Bateman? No.
Classic.
That was in my monster book, though.
Teen Wolf was not, but I was excited
when Teen Wolf came out because
I would borrow these books from the library,
which were the
Universal Monster books.
These are a bunch of books that apply to everyone.
They had chapters on every iteration of the monster.
So it was like, if you could check out the werewolf and it had like, okay, here's Lon
Chaney's, here's this one, here's the sequels, here's Abin Costello.
And then I was a teenage werewolf, which is the Michael Landon movie.
And so when Teen Wolf came out, I was like,
oh, a new thing that would be put in a book
if they ever updated it.
So I was very excited.
Wow.
I wonder if they've updated it.
I'm excited to watch the new Scream.
I think I was the only person checking these out.
New Scream movie.
I'll watch the new Scream.
It's coming out on streaming somewhere this month.
I can't wait.
Do you know, I listened to a podcast.
Maybe I've told you about it.
Please.
So you wish.
A podcast called Too Scary Didn't Watch.
Yeah.
It's hosted by these three young women.
And they, two of them are scared to watch scary movies
and one of them is not.
And so she tells the,
she gives like a breakdown of the movie.
Cool Up will do this where she'll just read summaries of them.
Yes, exactly.
Which I didn't realize that was a thing, but a lot of people do it.
Someone who doesn't want to see it will just.
They want to know what's happening in it.
Like, like take Malignant, for instance.
Malega. Malega.
Every fucking time, every time I see it.
That's what I think every time.
But Malignant, like such a good concept, but Cool Up doesn't want to watch it. So I actually don't time I see it. Malignant. That's what I think. Every time. But malignant, like such a good concept,
but Cool Up doesn't want to watch it.
I actually don't know anything about it, but yeah.
I also haven't seen Hereditary. I just know.
That's fucking scary. Hereditary's scary.
Yeah. I don't know if I want to watch.
I like Scream.
I always loved Scream.
And I liked the Scream franchise.
And so the Scream feels good.
I've seen like it and some other things
that I thought I would never see,
but I don't love, I don't go out of my way
with things like that.
It's not scary in the way that other movies, Malignant?
Oh yeah, I don't know the plot.
I have no idea, but I'd like to see it.
So I will skip over.
I'm now going through their back catalog.
And so I'll skip over the movies that I want to see.
So, okay, so they'll just, like like this person just explains the whole plot to them.
And do people ask the other hosts to ask questions?
Yeah.
And what?
The other hosts ask questions?
No, they just listen and comment and everything.
You're just silent.
I'm curious where the conversation goes.
Okay.
It goes all over the place. Yeah, they talk about whatever.
So they don't have to like, yeah,
they don't have to like ask,
they don't have to ask what happens next.
Is it better than this show?
Oh, absolutely.
Well, why wouldn't people listen to that instead of this?
Well, you don't like get allotted one podcast to listen to.
Everyone can listen to as many as they want.
What? Is this true?
Yeah, have you guys only been listening to 3Dim?
I only listen to one podcast at a time.
Well, you can listen to more.
But I like this podcast very much.
So Scream, I didn't think I was going to watch the new Scream.
And then I started listening that episode.
And I was like, actually, you know what?
I want to see this movie.
You know what?
I would like some recommendations of podcasts,
if someone wants to tweet at me.
WTF.
You know what? I just listen to people I know mostly, and I'm not trying
to sound whatever with that, just that we know a lot of people who make podcasts.
And I love POOG and I love the deep dive.
I would like some podcasts of people I probably don't know, because I just
started going down a little wormhole and then I saw this podcast, G things just
bought it and I was like, Oh, I might like this. I like add to cart.
It's about shopping and stuff.
I would like more recommendations.
If anyone knows, maybe I should.
Okay.
What do you have a certain type of podcast that you like?
You have a conversational style?
Yeah, I like conversations and I, and I do like listening to women having
conversations.
Okay.
I listen to a lot of men talking about shit too.
So listen to women having conversations.
Well, you know, I listen to a lot of men talking about shit, too. You listen to women having conversations. Well, you know, I listen to the smart list.
I listen to a lot of men. It's a very easy-to-find podcast.
I would like to know, like, what are the best...
Give me some good recommendations out there.
You know, I mean, you might have one.
I will look at my subscriptions
and see what I think you might like.
Great.
I'm happy to do it.
Because I will not do that for you.
I don't want you to.
I don't think your recommendations are really good.
Do you listen to podcasts at all?
I don't even know if you do.
Of course I do. But I'm not going to tell Lauren what they are. Fair enough.
These are my podcasts.
Well, like Mike loves last podcast on the left, which I've listened to a lot with him.
And I really like it too. But I want, I'm like, I want my fandom. I want like, you know,
I want to like find like my people that I don't know who I'm excited to listen to.
Absolutely.
Yeah. You want your own special thing. That's why I'm not going to tell you what mine are.
Yeah, I like that.
That's how I felt about this show. And I think you might like it.
Too scary to watch.
Okay, alright, I'll check it out.
Well, we have to take a break, even though that felt like a commercial for whatever you were talking about, Paul.
But we're gonna...
Sorry! God! I didn't know we had rules all of a sudden.
We do. We should establish the rules. Gay, how's the gay going? Gay, come out, gay. I did it. Ha had rules all of a sudden. We do.
We should establish the rules.
Gay, how's the gay going?
Gay, come out, gay.
I did it.

And it's creature time, which means a game.
And speaking of games, I have to say this.
And it breaks my heart to say this.
Oh no.
I have to say this. Yeah.
And it breaks my heart to say this.
Oh no.
As we all know,
Wurdle was purchased by the New York Times.
The paper of record?
Yes, the old gray lady,
the creator of Wurdle, Josh Wurdle,
got millions of dollars, good for him and his-
We know it's at least one million.
So a million and one dollars.
We know it's seven figures, so. So good million and one dollars. We know it's seven figures.
So good for him.
It could be nine million.
We don't even know.
I think it's $9.9 million.
And good for him.
They just didn't want to say
they were giving out eight figures.
Good for him and his lady that he created it for.
But we have learned
that we are no longer all having the same shared experience.
The word is not the same?
The word is not the same.
I feel like Mike's word is different today.
Okay, we're going to need to investigate this.
Yeah.
Well, there was a story about it.
Because we're on a chain where we send all the word.
We send the word all the time.
Because the original word is a day ahead or something or New York Times is a day ahead.
Something like that.
Something like that. By the way, we haven't even talked about word along this show
But no we have at some point I know word old people are sick of hearing about word old, but at some point
Lauren learned about word old. I've been playing for two days. I think at that point. No, we had tried to keep it from her
Lauren learned about word old. I thought she was too young And she got very excited and she texted us all and said,
we all have to start playing Wirdle every day
and let's compete with each other.
And I was like, I thought it was so wholesome.
And I was like, Lauren, good for you
for finding some way to keep us connected during the pandemic.
Thanks.
And I was like, you know what?
And it is.
Like a month ago. But I was like. you know what? And it is. Like a month ago.
But I was like.
It took me two years.
Well, we don't see each other as much as we.
It took me two years to figure out
how to keep us connected though, yeah.
No, you're right.
I thought it is awesome.
And it is a nice way to check in with each other
in the mornings, sometimes in the evenings.
I like to see when people play.
Sometimes it's supper time.
Like you played at 5.30 today.
I played at 5.30. John played at 4.30.
Sometimes I'm at 4 in the morning.
I was like, what the hell?
Yeah.
But anyway, so it's been fun.
But then the New York Times took it over.
Of course, all of my streaks and stats erased.
All of Janie's streaks and stats erased.
Mine are still there, but I have a New York Times subscription.
Is that why?
Mine are still there.
I don't have a New York Times subscription, but mine erased after the first time
I played after New York Times took it over, but then I immediately played again and now I knew the word.
Yeah.
And then my stats were back.
Oh, interesting.
So I don't know.
Well, I'm on, yeah, anyway, so it's been...
But that sucks.
That sucks.
But the fact that we're not, not everybody in the world is having the same experience
takes 99% of the fun out of it for me.
Well, what on earth are they doing changing the word?
I don't understand it and I...
It's the whole point of the fucking game.
It's the whole reason why you post your score on Twitter.
Yeah.
Because then people know what you, that you...
I don't even know how there are two versions of it.
That doesn't make any sense to me. Well, let's today because have you ever played dordle? I hate that I'd say that but
Word oh, no, I said words the same time. No, it's a brain fart
Somebody plays quartal that I know I'm like I'm not doing for it. It's come on
I know let's talk about today's word because I worry that Mike is playing the different one
Okay, let me see what the word is.
So today's word is cock.
Yeah, that's what I had.
That was a norm.
Now, he played, he got the C right, he got the K right.
And then he got, then he guessed something on the middle one.
Let me ask him to send me his screenshot.
What's his first, yeah, send the screenshot because I was trying to figure out what, because
sometimes I'll look at you guys' words
and I'll try to figure out what words you guessed.
I think that'll be a fun way to keep us connected too.
It's like, what if we guessed everyone's previously unwordable?
But I was trying to guess his first word.
I'm gonna find out what it is.
And I didn't think it was possible
because it can't be the U,
so it had to be an L or something.
So I was like, what did he guess for his first word?
And then I started worrying that he,
and his second word,
and I started worrying that he had a different word than us.
Yeah, but anyway.
That's gonna freak me out,
because we'll see if he writes it back.
You were sick with worry.
It's gonna freak me out.
I was, I've just been sitting here
the entire time we've been recording saying,
I hope this comes up.
Well, the other day, Nicole Parker,
my co-host of The Neighborhood Listen,
she said her husband played,
and when the word was aroma, he got agora.
Sorry, that is so fucked up.
So two different words in the same household.
But they made them similar.
And two A words.
I don't like it one bit.
Don't like it, or maybe, yeah. Maybe don't like it one bit. Don't like it.
Or maybe, yeah.
Maybe he just guessed a gore and thought he guessed aroma.
Here's the-
Or vice versa.
No, he got, but they-
That's what I mean, vice versa.
Like he just, he put in aroma and was like in his mind,
he thought he put in a gore.
All right, can we play a game?
Yes.
This game is called-
So he just like yells into the other room,
it's a gore for me. Dog. But he really guessed it. This game is called... So he just like yells into the other room, it's a Gora for me.
Yes, but he really guessed it.
French Toast.
It's submitted by Gina Mai Den.
One player is the clue giver and thinks of something that the other players will guess
at.
For example, Mount Rushmore or Ghostbusters or a chocolate bar.
The rest of the players...
Who would be on the Ghostbusters Mount Rushmore?
Made of chocolate?
Probably Bill Murray.
I think, um, Carol Ramis?
Kate McKinnon.
We're probably up there.
Kate McKinnon, Kris and Wig, Melissa Manchester.
No, what's her name?
Melissa Manchester.
Don't cry out loud.
The rest of the players in no particular-
Slimer.
Dude!
Onionhead.
Onionhead, of course.
The rest of the players in no particular order asked-
Wait, what?
Shut the fuck up.
What do you mean?
Somebody thinks of the four Ghostbusters.
Okay, so one player is the clue giver
and thinks of something that the other players will guess at.
For example, Mount Rushmore, Ghostbusters, Chocolate Bar,
it could be anything, okay?
The rest of the players in no particular order
ask the clue giver comparative questions
in the form of, is it more like X or more like Y?
And the clue giver, to the best of their ability,
chooses the X or Y that's more like the answer.
In the first question of the game, X is French toast.
In all subsequent questions,
X is whatever the clue giver said was more like the answer.
For example, if question one is,
is it more like French toast or bass fishing?
And the clue giver says, it's more like bass fishing. Then the next question must begin with, is it more like French toast or bass fishing? And the clue-giver says it's more like bass fishing. The next question must begin with, is it more
like bass fishing or, and the game ends when someone offers a guess and guesses
correctly. If the answer is French toast, why would the person say it's more like
bass fishing if the choices are French toast? No, no, French toast would get used in the first question.
Got it. Okay, so... This is extremely subjective. I think it's... yeah, that's what it's
fun about. I think it's like apples to apples that's fun. Well, that's what it's fun about. I think it has- It's like Apples to Apples.
Did I say it wasn't fun, you fucking asshole?
Apples to Apples isn't funny, I'm gonna say it right now.
It's not funny.
I said it was fun.
No, I know, but I'm saying people always are like,
it's so crazy, or like Cards Against Humanity or whatever.
Cards Against Humanity, you're thinking of Cards Against Humanity.
Oh, Apples to Apples isn't supposed to be funny?
No.
No.
Who thinks Apples to Apples is funny?
I haven't played since I was like 15, okay.
Let's get out of here. I played Apples to Apples the other day. It was so funny.
Okay, we gotta play.
Sorry, I'm just laughing at an Apples to Apples game I played once.

Hi, everyone.
Gloria Riviera here, and we are back for another season of No One Is Coming to Save
Us, a podcast about America's childcare crisis.
This season, we're delving deep into five critical issues facing our country through
the lens of childcare, poverty, mental health, housing, climate change, and the public school
system.
By exploring these connections, we aim to highlight that childcare is not an isolated issue, but
one that influences all facets of American life.
Season four of No One is Coming to Save Us is out now wherever you get your podcasts.
Are you in bed by 10?

and Alana Glazer.
