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. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! ["Freedom!" by The Bunch where we make noises for the first minute. Wow.

We're back and it feels so good. I'm in love and it feels so good. Wow, congrats. What is that from? That's from The Bachelor. I know, I hate it. Sorry, we'll re-cap, yeah. Clayton, Clayton.

I thought it was from a song. Clayton. Clayton. Or Clayton. Clayton. Clayton or Clayton. I'm just so really sorry to this man. Were people calling him Clayton? Some people were calling him Clayton. Clayton. Clayton. Clayton or Clayton. I'm just so really- Sorry to, sorry to- Sorry to this man. Were people calling him Clayton?

Some people were calling him Clayton. No. It was either Clayton or people going Clayton. Clayton. Clayton. He literally is the worst bachelor we've ever had. What makes him so bad? Explain it to me like I'm five.

Okay. Goo goo ga ga. I'm five. I'm assuming you've not learned how to talk yet. When a man falls in love with three women on TV and tells them he's in love with them and then has sex with two of them, which is when the man puts the penis

inside the woman's vagina. Oh yeah. And then he wanted to have sex with. What's vagina? Okay, hold on. Look at this. But the third asked him, the third asked him if he had sex with the other people.

Yeah, he was about to seal the deal. And were you in love with them? And he said, yes, I told them I was in love with them and that I had sex with them. And then she was like, well, I'm out of here. And then- Dennis Miller style. She crossed off everything on her pages.

And then the two women, he told them, I had sex with both of you and I told you both I'm in love with you. And that hurt both of them immensely because they thought they were the only one of course. And then he was like, but stick around, but stick around. I mean, she left, but stick around. Stick around, did he do this unprompted? Told them this? Yeah, basically had to do it unprompted.

And then, cause he realized he should just be truthful with them cause Susie was so disturbed by it that he was like, maybe other people would also be disturbed by this. So he told them and it was like, stick around and meet my parents. So awkward. They met his parents and then at the end of meeting

his parents, he's like, eh, I like the other one the most. And so we broke up with both of them together. The other one, the one he didn't have sex with? The one who left. Okay. He made her come back, and he goes into the room and breaks up with two women at once. He's like, yeah, it's not going to go on,

I'm still thinking about Suzie. And they're both like, can you treat us like individuals? You said you were in love with each of us, now you're telling us it's over to both of us. At the same time. And now, then Suie ends up coming back and is with him now. And then they were at the tell-all or whatever.

And the after- She's like, he's my man. She was like, I love you. Clayton's my man. I love you. I love you. But they were like, she's like really sweet, but they were like, are you in love with him? And she's like, I love you.

Love you. And she's like, no, really, no, I am. I do love you. He's my man. But she's like, I love you. So she's doing like a little voice, which is okay. Well, no And she's like, no, really, no, I am, I do love you. He's my man. But she's like, I love you. Wait, so she's doing like a little voice, which is okay. Well, no, she's Southern, right?

Yeah, but she went like, I love you. I love you. She kind of made it kind of a joke, and I was like, you should be serious. She's the one who was saying Clayton. Clayton, yeah. And she's with him now, and they're working it out. And I just think it's a disaster.

And then they said that- Wait, it's over, right? It's over. The show's over, yeah. And the two women who were rejected slash rejected him are now the Bachelorettes together. I really liked both of them, especially the one who was like-

Gabby? Gabby, who broke him down when he broke up with it, he was like, here's your problem. I wanted to break up after you told us all that, and you begged me to stay because you wanted it to be your decision, not mine. You wanted all the power. She just like expertly tore into him.

She was so articulate about the whole situation and I loved it. It was incredible. Because I would have been like, you're a dickhead. Your head is made of dicks. You're a dickhead. But I wish that, the idea of them being double bachelorette, I sort of feel like it could get dicey

if they're dating the same pool of men. They say, the creator says that's not gonna happen. Okay, because I wanted them to have two separate houses with different men and then they say- A house divided cannot stand. And the women sleep in the same house between the two houses and kind of recap and help each other and coach.

Oh, like the one divorce couples by, they get one house that's where the child lives. Yeah. And then they take turns living there. Yeah, what an interesting idea that is. What an interesting, what a piece of work is man. There was a producer who pitched me the idea for a movie that he wanted me to write.

Robert Evans? This is reminding me of, yes, I wish it was Robert Evans. I can't remember who it is, but it was the craziest pitch I'd ever heard. He was like, all right, so you know how reality TV is really big. Sounds like a producer. I'm doing a producer thing. How reality TV is really big. I was like, all right, so you know how reality TV is really big. Sounds like a producer.

I'm doing a producer thing. Reality TV is really big. All right, here we go. Let me take my cigar out of my mouth. OK. I'm also from the East Coast, if you can't tell. Good. Let me tell you.

My vowel choice is from back East. Reality TV is very big. So he's like, OK, so there are two houses. All right? And the movie's called 300. I think this is before, oh no, it must be called 200. No, it had to be 300. 100?

But if it's called 300. Do I hear 50? This is before the movie 300 came out. Oh, he must've been pissed. Okay, so was it 300? It must be 300. Who cares? Why is it called that?

That'll help you figure it out. So he's like, all right, there's two houses. Maybe it was 200. Anyway. Oh my God! I'll just keep saying the plot. The day will come where I will jump into the pool. So it's two houses and in one house.

There's 300 people. And they're all divorced. And they're all raising one kid in one house it's people who are all who all weigh 100 pounds what and then in the other house it's all people who weigh 300 pounds what is this idea and then the goal is for them to lose, it was 10 people, right? So maybe it was a thousand. So it was like, the goal is for all of them to either lose or gain as close to a thousand pounds as possible. Who cares?

Obviously it was called a thousand. So it was probably a thousand. I don't know. What a weird concept. It was the weirdest concept. As a movie. As a movie. And he's like, and obviously, like, they have relationships.

Obviously. And I was like, so you're trying to get actors, some actors are going to be putting on fat suits, and then some are going to be taking off fat suit? Is that what you're doing? It was the craziest idea I'd ever heard. Like, he hadn't thought it out at all. I don't know if it's, would you watch the show?

I'm writing it right now, and it's really good. Really? Yeah. But the theme. The themes are humanity, relationships, I haven't thought it out at all. I don't know if it's, would you watch this show? I'm writing it right now and it's really good. Oh really? Yeah. What are the themes? The themes are humanity, relationships. Here's what I've discovered is that I liked you guys telling me The Bachelor without my having to watch it.

Well you should watch my Instagram stories where it all goes down. I can't do that. Oh but I got commentary, woo. Too many dots. Oh, the dots go by faster. So many dots. Fair, fair, fair.

But I'm always watching something else. Do you have that tryptophobia where it's like the three dots making you? You know what, I learned about that and then I felt kind of sickened by the idea of, like I've had that- So you have phobia of tryptophobia? Yeah, well I've had the thought when I've seen something

and I've been kind of like, I guess I see why that's gross. I'm waving to the dogs. Dogs are walking by, we're waving to them, and there's three- Molly doesn't care, Georgia is interested in what we do. There are three dogs this time. Benny is our visitor.

He's hilarious, hi Benny. He's just trotting away. He's very funny. He's a dog who anytime he pees or poos, he like does the kickback of the dirt on top of it, which seems psychotic to me. My dog does not do that. Lollipop guild. Yeah.

But I also like the idea of a reality show just being a movie. And you get it over. Yeah, get it over within two hours. Wait, so it's supposed to be a movie? There's so much filler. This was a movie, yeah. Yeah.

He was not pitching an actual reality show, he was pitching a movie. No, that's what I thought, but then I just got confused. Yeah. Wow. It's your loss, kid. I love The Bachelor just to be a movie. One time and then it's over? Yeah, narrative too, like fake, and it's all fake. Yeah, that'd be great. And it your loss, kid. I'd love The Bachelor just to be a movie. One time and then it's over?

Yeah, narrative too, like fake, and it's all fake. Yeah, that'd be great. And it's a big start. Did you know? It sucks that I'm locked into watching this for the rest of my life, but what am I gonna do? Why do you feel that way? Well, I like it.

Oh, it sucks that I have to do something I like. It sucks that you like it. Well, I like it and I hate it, you know? It's like, every time it starts up again, I think, oh no, it's already back, cause you know it's gonna be back sooner than you even realize. Yeah, I don't think so, it's already back. Cause you know it's gonna be back sooner than you even realize. It's gonna be May.

I don't think so, cause they hadn't even started filming it. So yeah, it'll be May. Yeah, it's gonna be May. And that's already, it's around the corner. Janie and I have one reality show that we watch. Which one? It is Southern Charm. Oh yes.

Because it's set in Charleston. By the way, I told you about another, Rock the Block is set in. Yes, that's right. I forgot to watch my Rock the Block. I must catch up. But we don't like it. It's not good.

Yeah, I'm shocked you watched that. The people are boring as shit. But you watch it for the local color or the scenery or? We, that's what we started watching it for, was because we were writing something that was set in Charleston. Right. In South Carolina and we, and it was terrible, but it was, they had a...

The finger writing. Yeah, and the proof is in the pudding. No one wanted to do it. It was terrible, so then we had to watch a show instead. That's actually, we did get, we did sell a script, but nobody wanted to buy the pilot. Sorry. That happens, you know what I mean?

It's all in the game. Look at the hoops, the hoops. I know. The hoops are on fire at the hoops, the hoops. I know. The hoops are on fire. We don't need no hoops. I can't watch. Let the hoops burn. There's like a whole fucking ton of Bravo

that I won't watch. I won't watch Southern Tram. I won't watch Below Deck. I draw the line, you know. I saw the same formula. It's just one deck. Yeah. Below the deck.

Blow the deck? Blow the deck down. Blow dick. Blow the dick. But it deck? Blow the deck down. Blow the dick. Blow the dick. But it's, when it first started, there was a person on the show. Reporting you to Kevin. What?

Kevin, by the way, is in charge of us. Oh, we got a train! Hello, Kevin. Chevin is back. Hi, Chevin. He hasn't brought his spanking pen today. Chevin, aka Kevin, aka Chef Kevin. He's back in charge of us again.

Josh, hasta la vista, baby. Josh had better things to do. We brought Josh to a breakdown. He's watching Better Things. I love that show. I confuse Better Things and Stranger Things all the time. Well, they're extremely different. They should be the same show.

Yes, I know. I know that! Stranger Better Things. Combine them. What if Pamela Adlon, Adlon, Padawan? Adlon. What if she had the same teeth as that one kid

from Stranger Things? That'd be awesome. Pfft. Pfft. Which kid, what teeth? The kid who has like the gums and the braces or whatever. The Mickey Dolan's looking kid? Yeah, Mickey Dolan's looking kid. Yeah, Mickey Dolan's looking kid. Why don't you cut your hair?

The snapping. I just, anytime I think of Mickey Dolan's, I think of him banging on that snare drum, singing that song. Yeah, man. You got to. And of course I think about him coming into Chin Chin and eating with his daughter, Amy.

Aww. She's out of control. She is. She was that day. I remember the commercial, like the trailer for that movie. I remember seeing it on TV. She's out of control, which starred Tony Danza, right? Tony Danza as her dad. Who's teenage daughter.

Was he a cleaning man? Cleaning man? Like on Who's the Boss? Cleaning man. He was a housekeeper. Oh, I thought you meant a paid murderer. The cleaner. The cleaner.

Angela, I gotta bury this body. Angela. Who's the boss? Hey. Would be different. Who's the boss? Who is the boss? Like if the accent was on who's?

Yeah. Who's the boss? Who's the boss? Who's the boss? Who's the boss? Yeah. Um, and then his daughter is, is blossoming into a young woman. TMI.

There was a scene of her. TMI? TMI. Yeah, her name was Tina Mai. And there was a scene of her, of course, this was at an age when this would be burned into my brain, of her running on the beach. Emerging from the ocean. Yes.

And like she's fucking super hot. Like it's wild, like that was the, this was not a movie for kids I don't think. That's how that shit was. It was, it's fucking crazy. They were hyper-sexualized. Like blame it on Rio. What was the, it's not Andre the Giant.

What's the French guy? Andre 3000. 3000. 3000. Andre 3000. Andre 3000. Primez.. Andre 3000. 3000. 3000. 3000.

3000. See, but this is why. Who am I thinking of? Andre 3000. The guy, he was in Green Card with Andy Bigdell. Oh, Gérald de Aldiou. Gérald de Aldiou, he had one with like Catherine Heigl where she's like 13 or something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, my dad the hero. My dad, my father the hero. My father the hero. Insanity. Yeah. Yeah. And then, you're right dad the hero. My dad. Total the hero. My father the hero. My father the hero. Insanity. Yeah. Yeah. And then, and then the, you're right, the blame it on Rio one,

I was just doing research on it because I think I saw that instead of a movie that we watched for my other show. Mm-hmm. The girl in that is 17 and had to get a special dispensation from the courts to be nude in it. Ew. Yeah. That court is wild.

Did you have a laugh riot talking about Sophie's Choice? Yeah, it was funny. It was funny. I listened to it last night. Oh, yeah. It was good. I mean, it was a wild movie. I've never seen it. I've never seen that movie, and I assumed the same thing that you did about it.

What, that's really sad? No, that it's all set in a concentration camp. Like, it's all set in... But I guess I should watch it....you know, wartime Germany. I don't know if you should or not, it's all set in a concentration camp. Well, listen to the show. Like it's all set in- But I guess I should watch it. You know, wartime Germany. I don't know if you should or not, but I- It's a class C.

But she's great in it. I'd like to see it. I'd like to see it. Too emotional. I have to cross it off my list because I watch any movie that has a character named Stingo. Yes, Stingo.

Or Sting or Stingo, Sting being in it? Stingo, Steve-o, Sting-o. You haven't watched any of the Jackass movies. So I watch everything with Oprah, Sting or Stingo, Sting being in it? Yeah, Stingo, Steve-o, Sting-o. You haven't watched any of the Jackass movies? So I watch everything with Oprah, Sting, Jackass. So you haven't seen The Color Purple, Jackass, Sophie's Choice? No, I have. I've only seen those movies. That's all, I'm collecting them all.

You have a pretty good batch to watch with those names. Pretty good batch. Gremlins, The New Batch, I watch any batch movie. Any batch movie. What are the other batch movies? The Bachelor. The Bachelor movie. You gotta watch The Bachelor.

That's what you can't wait for them to make. I can't wait. Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was the first bachelor? That's what they based the Bachelor TV show. What are you talking about? Is his like trouble finding a wife. Abraham Lincoln. That's what they based the Bachelor TV show. What are you talking about? Is his like trouble finding a wife. Abraham Lincoln.

Who was, was it James Buchanan who was the gay president? He was the bachelor, his sister was the first lady. Have you heard that like kind of underground belief that like every president was gay? Every president? Everyone? No, I've not heard that. And that's how they get the job? Like two present days.

I made it up. I made it up. That's a good one. Get it out there. There's a secret inauguration where they have to suck a dick. Oh my. But they'd want to. They get to, yes.

Yeah, they're allowed to. Yes. In front of everyone. It's gotta be a good one for the president. Yeah, it has to be good. You know what I mean? They don't just want to do it just because it's a dick. I hope they get to pick. Yeah, but yes. It's someone be a good one for the president. Yeah, it has to be good. You know what I mean? They don't wanna do it just because it's a dick. It's someone they like.

They get the dick of the litter. Yes. Yes. Kevin, do not make that the title. Do not make that the title. Kevin. God damn it, Kevin. Apparently on our last episode,

we all told stories we've told before. Who cares? Who cares? I don't give a flying fuck. This is what happens with friendship. That's what happens. You hear people's stories again. And then you forget everyone's stories.

You guys are pretty close to us now. Because look, I actually didn't remember that they told any of those stories, and I don't remember that I told mine. I also don't know if we've told them all on this podcast or on various other podcasts. Who knows? Who cares? Yeah. Oh, you and I got the new phone.

Oh, I, yeah. I love it. You got a two? Me too. Oh my gosh. Did we all get it within the same week? No, this is a 12. We didn't even talk about it. Do you get the 13? I got the 13.

This is the 12. Yes. I do every other generation. Oh, and Spam's calling. I haven't done one in... Oh. Spam's calling. Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam.

Hello? Did you put on a speaker, genius? I did. Spam hung up. They hung up on me. You gotta be so lame to have Spam hung up on you., genius? I did. Spam hung up. They hung up on me. You gotta be so lame to have spam hung up on you. I'm such a loser. Anyway, I love this phone.

The picture quality, fantastic. I haven't gotten one in like four years and mine was fine until the other day. I was exiting my bathroom and it slipped out of my hands and was plunging towards the toilet and I batted it away like a baseball player. I was not paying attention for a second, your dick? Yes, my dick.

Yeah, I batted my dick away from the toilet. It was plunging towards the toilet and you batted it away. And it went flying across the room and broke the screen. Well, that's a blessing for you because you got the good new one. Yeah, so I got the good new one. Maybe I'll just smash my phone and get a new phone.

Yeah. Well, I was able to trade mine in and get like 400 bucks back. I showed the pieces to Judy. Mine was cracked, so I wasn't able to go back. My phone carrier will always tell me, you're up for an upgrade. And then when I see what the upgrade is,

like, that's not really an upgrade. Yeah, no, that's always like bullshit. An upgrade is like, you know, a suite instead of a hotel. I think it's the next, the newer model of the phone. Yeah, right. Like not the newest. Yeah, not necessarily the newest. Yeah, if it's just newer than the one that I have.

Yeah, I don't think that's good. With these phones, you just have to skip to the most recent. Paul, get the same phone we got. Get it, get the matching case. What's the difference? Did, get the same phone we got. What's the difference though? Get the matching case. What's the difference? Did you get the wallet that slaps onto the back with a magnet? The what?

Mike got the wallet. The wallet that slaps onto the back with a magnet. This can hold magnets and you can put the wallet, a little slim wallet and slap it on. I don't have a wallet that's slim, I have too much money. Well you have to buy the thing. And it puts credit cards in it, okay? Oh thing. And it puts credit cards in it, okay?

Oh, critical. But it puts credit cards in it, okay? Okay, I need all my credit cards, I need my license, I need my AAA card, I need my SAG card, I need my DGA card, I need my insurance, medical and dental. Where are you using your DGA card? I need my supplementation card in case I come back. Proving that I'm a director.

Do you both carry folded, thick wallets? No, I'll show you my wallet. I go very slimline these days because I just have this guy. Oh, it's like a little snap. Mine's about as thin as mine. So I have two credit cards, my license, and my money, my cash. That's nice.

Yeah, a little monogram on the back, don't mind if I do. You have to, your polyphonicians. You simply have to. It has to be thin because I carry it in the front pocket because I used to carry my wallet in the back pocket and I read a thing that fucks your back up really bad. It fucks your back up. It's easier to get pickpocketed. Really?

Yeah. But from just, oh, because you're sitting on it and stuff? Yeah. Yeah, genius. Well, I'm like, how does it fuck your back up because it's so heavy you're walking like, oh, there, there, there. There, there, there, there, oh, my ass.

Meanwhile, if it's at the front, it's like, oh, there, there, there. There, there, there, there, oh, my ass. Meanwhile, if it's at the front, it's like, ooh. How about George Costanza? His wallet's fatter than everyone's. Do you remember, and then the wallet exploded. And do you remember when Seinfeld would say, what's the deal with and so forth and so on? And such, and such.

And do you remember, and do you remember when he made a movie about the invention of Pop Tarts? And do you recall? I think it's coming out. Yeah. You're gonna star in it. Oh, great. Think about all the movies.

Think about all the movies. As a Pop-Tart? Think about all the movies that are not getting made, but that is getting made. I saw it. Emily Gordon's writing a Play-Doh movie. Yeah. I saw that.

I'm happy for her. She's hilarious. But I'm thinking this means that every IP in the world, every product, is fodder for something. No, like battleship. Battleship opened the door. Plato can become something. Yeah.

Yeah. Gumbi, for instance. Could be anything. Oh, if they cross over, if we find out that Gumbi is made out of Plato? Oh my god, what do you think he's made out of? Well, what the fuck did you think it was? Clay.

Oh, he's, Gumbi, Gumbi, Gumbi, I made him out of clay. That's right, exactly. Gumbi is great, but when you watch Gumbi now. Gumbi is great. Gumbi, okay, great, that's established as fact. Let's start, let's make sure we all understand that. Gumbi is great. I love Gumbi, I love Pokey.

But Pokey is a piece of fucking shit. No, I love Gumbi, I love Pokey, I love the woman one, I love them all, but when you see it now, it's weird, it's very weird. It's like Soviet feeling. Yeah, it's so odd. It's very bleak and unsettling. Yes, I'm like gray and sort of odd.

When I was, I think 15, Gumbie just became a thing again, I remember. Yes, I think because of Eddie Murphy. I'm Gumbie Dammit. Was he pulling it out from the past when he did that? Yes, he was. Oh, because I recall it from my childhood. It was very funny because no one had ever talked

about Gumby. Oh. We were fused. But then a few years later. You must talk about Gumby. We all pretended it didn't happen, but we knew that it did. A few years later, whoever owned the Gumby thing

started making t-shirts and stuff and started, and started selling them again. And so I got a Gumby, I got a Gumby t-shirt and I'm like, I don't even. It's just like a kitschy pop culture. I don I got a Gumby, I got a Gumby t-shirt and I'm like, I don't even... Yeah, but it was like a sort of irony like... It's just like a kitschy pop culture. I don't even like Gumby. Like as a kid, you're like, what am I doing? I'm a 15 year old boy.

This isn't me! Who wants to be a man someday? I have a Gumby in a Pokey miniature in my Minis collection. Your Minis collection? I have a collection of miniatures. Miniatures what? It's pretty expansive. That's ironic.

Yeah. Uh... Ah! It's all sort of anything small. I collect my Sunny Angel dolls, of course. My Sunny Angel dolls. What are those again? Which are these little dolls that are this tall.

Um, compare it to something, I don't know. Okay, uh... A chode, a chode. Um... So it looks like a chode. Just the size of a chode, a chode. You sure? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So it looks like a chode. Just the size of a chode. Sunny angel dolls are little.

But the size of a chode. They're little cherubic, little angel. One chode high. And they have animal heads on and they're very charming and delightful. And Mike and I. Human bodies with animal heads? Yeah, they have animal like hood.

Like human genus paleo? They do have a penis. And a vagina. No, and Mike and I found them in Tokyo first, but then we thought that was something we just found in a random store, and then we started seeing them in random stores in different places we traveled, and so we realized, okay, these are... We would only allow ourselves to buy two, one each, every time we would see them,

because there's an imp... You don't know what's in it. It's a blind box. So there's an, you don't know what's in it, it's a blind box. So there's an impulse to buy like 10 and see what you get. But you can only get two. That's like Topps baseball cards. Yeah. Topps chefs. And so now we have a pretty good collection.

They should do a collaboration. Topps chef and Topps. Topps chefs, where you have to make the bubblegum. Yes, every recipe is bubblegum. Sounds just. Or has bubblegum in it. Hello chefs, today we're making pink. And here's your special ingredient. Oh, I bet it is bubblegum. Sounds just... Or has bubblegum in it. Hello, chefs. Today we're making pink.

And here's your special ingredient. Oh, I bet it's bubblegum. I can really feel that hard gum. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Oh, the harder the better when it comes to gum. The tighter the sweater. But anyways, I have a whole collection of miniatures of all different types of things.

How many do you have and how much space does it take up? I have one shelf dedicated to this, and I would say I have probably somewhere around 60 miniatures, and I probably have 40 or more Sunny Angel dolls. Now, Scott, are you looking to swap out DVDs for these Cho dolls? I started selling a lot of my old stuff.

Ah! Times are tough. Cleaning out. Oh, I mean cleaning out. Times are tough. On what website or how are you doing it? The Electronic Bay, I believe. A bay, a bay.

The bay that people float in on and buy stuff. So do you have someone doing it for you, kind of uploading things or? No, it takes about nine hours of my day every day, but. I'm. So you're doing comic books? It's a full-time job. No benefits?

Some of those, some... Toys and games? Yeah, just a bunch of stuff, just getting rid of. Ah, clearing the space. You know, and trying not to buy as much stuff. Yeah, I'm trying to buy more stuff lately. Good. I'm trying to make myself buy things.

There's nothing I want to buy. No, but... Used to give me so much joy, but now there's nothing. I know, I'm so sorry. You don't do retail therapy anymore? No, there's nothing I wanna, I can't even buy clothes because I never go anywhere. Aw.

Poor little boy. Just underwear. That's all I ever use anymore. Bambas says it's the year of bold underwear. Yeah. And Bambas says, as Bambas does. Thank you, Bambas. We thank you for these blessings. God bless you Bombas.

It's not an ad. I don't think they've ever done an ad for us. They have. They want to. I do love their socks. I like their socks too. Bombas. I had the baby socks from Bombas, which were great.

No, baby socks? Yeah. Oh, aren't they fucking adorable? They're really cute and they have a lot of styles. I would like them to send me more, please. You must, do you fight off the urge to just continually buy Holly clothes? I do.

What I have done when I really wanna do that is I buy things for when she's bigger. You buy these tiny dolls. Yeah, well that was what I did before. They'll never grow out of these clothes. You'll be my baby forever. I actually did buy clothes for the Sunny Angel dolls, which people make if you go searching on Etsy,

which I was so excited about, but this was all before I had them. Yeah, have you been to that American Girl store? We must have talked about this. Yeah, we can't talk about this. Oh yeah, all right. But, but, but, but, I'll definitely take her there when the time comes.

I have two American girls to hand down to her, and I have lots of things for them, and they don't make mine anymore, so it's really exciting. Oh wow. They branched out so much, they don't even make these. But, but, but I was going to say, whenever I wanna buy things for Holly,

I buy things for when she's bigger. And I got her like a coat for when she's like four, but it's so cute. I got her a maternity dress. It was like a splurge, but I was like, I need this, but if I buy it for her right now, she'll wear it and it'll be over. Anyways.

Four clothes. I try to get her stuff for when she's old. Yeah. Yeah. Just setting up her bifocals. Little time capsule. It's great. Open this one. You're old.

Yeah. Great stuff. Love it. It would be, uh, yeah, I can only imagine it, especially with like Cool Up and our previous dog, Rocky, of course, dear sweet Rocky, when she bought him like 31 Halloween outfits for the entire month of October. It's like, it can just be very tempting.

It's so fun. Holly had two Halloween costumes. She was, it's like, you can't really hold back. You know, it's just- Yeah, St. Patrick's Day. She did have a St. Patrick's Day. By the time she's like 13 or whatever, she'll be over it. Yeah, it's like, you only get so many times.

You only get like 10 or 11 of them. When I get to control it, it's even better. It's wild to me to think of these kids, I think about this a lot when I see my friend's baby pictures that they're going to have this vast archive of their lives. I know. Where are you looking at baby pictures of your friend? Why wouldn't I?

It's all jokes aside, I think that I would love to see, I love seeing baby pictures of my friends. I would love to see that. It's adorable. I would love to see that. But it is true. It's like we, you know, you have a limited amount of- I'm just making fun because I think you meant like your friend's pictures of their babies. Yes, that is what I meant.

Yes. Okay, great. I'm just explaining. But you know what? I once, I tweeted once because somebody tweeted this. You tweeted? I tweeted once and I was done. That's so bold.

I was like, I don't get it. That's what you wrote? I remember this tweet. I don't get this. I remember this tweet that like. I wish that was my only tweet. This tweet that stayed with me for a while. Somebody tweeted something about

how cool it would be to hold your friends as babies. Oh yeah. How have we talked about this? Well, if you. On this? Did we really? I about this? Well, if you want to feel compassion for someone, you should imagine them as a child. You should hold them as a baby. That's why people who go back and kill Hitler as a baby, they can't do it,

because he's so fucking cute with that little tiny mustache. But did I tweet about the reaction that people had, that it was weird? Yeah, maybe you just talked about this on Twitter. No, why, everyone was like. Yeah, everyone was like, oh, you're a fucking weirdo who wants to hold your kids as a being. Most people were like,

this is very sweet. And some people were like, this is disturbing. I'm like, why is it disturbing? They don't have a adult head or something. It's like they're actually- That's what I want. People were saying like- To hold people with baby bodies and adult heads. People were saying it's a consent issue.

Like to hold your friends without consent. Shut up, that's so stupid. I'm like, what are you fucking talking about? Their parents would give you consent. A baby likes to be held. But it's like, the idea was if you could go back in time, it's like, oh, so some weirdo goes back in time and holds this stranger baby.

I'm like- No, you introduce yourself to their parents, you say you're a time traveler. How about if you say- And a friend of theirs in the future. Yes, if you say- May I hold your baby? Like in this scenario,

why wouldn't you assume that that is all taken care of? That's all, yeah, exactly. Do you know what I mean? Why do you assume like you break into someone's house? Like what the fuck is wrong with you? Murder the parents. And also like as an adult. You hold the baby for two seconds,

put it back in the crib, and they get back in the time machine. I don't think anyone has a issue with the fact that they were held by various people when they were a baby. If you're just being held. Exactly. I was, there's a family friend of ours who used to tickle me when I would go over to his place. Well, that's a consent issue.

Oh, because your name was Elmo. Yes. And you changed it to avoid this. That was a big problem, yes. But it used to drive me fucking crazy and I still don't like being tickled. Well, that is, no, that's not good. And he would do it to the extent

where I would be crying and like weeping and I would just be like, oh,. No, that's not good. And he would do it to the extent where I would be crying and like weeping and I would just be like, oh, come on. That is perverted. That's, yeah, that sounds like a... It's not perverted, it's just like... It's not good. It's not good. I just, I feel like if a kid is saying,

hey, like I don't like this. Even like, hey, I don't like to hug strangers, you should be like... No, totally. But instead of parents going like, go hug this person or whatever, it's like, hey, do you't like to hug strangers. You should be like. No, totally. Instead of parents going like, go hug this person or whatever, it's like, hey, do you wanna hug this person? Now see that, yeah, that to me,

I like, I think that's a good thing that we're now doing where we're not making kids do a thing they don't wanna do. Yeah. But if they're a little blah, but of course you pass them around. Yeah. Like clean their room.

Like don't consent, pass them around like on a lazy Susan. There's a difference with little kids when they're like, stop tickling, but then you stop and they're like, wanting you to do it more, you know, because they like it. It's like, that's different. Like there's, some kids really hate it. When I was, this was when my friends had a,

he was like a toddler at this point. We were in a car driving somewhere and I was in the back seat with this little boy. He was very precious and adorable. He's a great big fellow now. He's like in college and shit. Whoa. But he had a little stuffed Pokemon toy.

I think this is from the Pokemon world, Polywhirl. It was like this little blue dude. And I was saying, who is that? And he would say, it's Polywhirl. I was pretending to get the name wrong and he would correct me. And he was like laughing at first. And then we were doing it for a while. And then at one point he fucking started crying, like out of frustration,

like it's Polyworld. And I, it like, the shift was so fast from this dude, this dumb dude doesn't know the name and I'm correcting it. And now it's like, I'm not being heard. Who is this fucking dork? Say his name on mic. Cause we got to shame him publicly. Mark Zuppert, Zuppert burp.

Marg Zuppert burp. It's polywap. We gotta take a break. We gotta take a break. We'll be right back. Did you say Poliwap? Poliwap. Poliworld. We'll be right back. Ooh, I wanna move there. Hey everyone.

And we're back and over the break, we we had a meal over the break. We had Thanksgiving dinner.

We had a meal. Over the break. We had Thanksgiving dinner early. Over the break. We had a meal there. I hurt my heel there. Over the break. How's your heel doing, by the way?

It's better, it's better. Yeah, you had a little bruise. I put some balm on it. Oh, good. And some salve. It's salve, by the way, everybody. Not salve. It's not salve.

It's not salve. Too many. I've been hearing this more and more. Yeah. There are too many words that... Salve. And if people say salve. Too many words that There's too many. I've been hearing this more and more. Yeah. There are too many words that- Sav. And if people say sav. Too many words that are just too confusing.

How many? Let's do away with them. There's at least three. Yeah, that's fair. Let's do away with three words. I would say today's word all threw me for a loop actually. Oh, I got in three, bro. But see- I'm trying to.

I forget it instantly. When it had an accent on the last letter. Yeah, do you know what? And so for me, I'm like spelling it- Well, it's a French word too, so it's like. And that's why it's also, that's another part of it. I'm going, this isn't even. Andre 3000.

I was, Andre 3000. And they had another one recently that was possibly not English. Ruby? Oh no, I can't remember what the, it wasn't that. Today's with saute everyone. Which I in my mind thought was spelled with two E's. Me too. And that was part of why I was all, and I was going,

is that, and then I was, is that what it is? And I just guessed, and I'm right, and then I googled it, and I was like, oh. But I didn't love that, and word of word of word of. My guess right before that was sauce. Me too. Which is like another food word. And mine before it was, uh, hot.

Hot. Or how do you say it? Hot. Haute couture. Haute cout hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot couture. Hot couture. Hot cuisine. Yeah, which is another French word that shouldn't be out. Where?

But, Andre. Yeah, what's going on? Anyway, we all play wordle every day. Ever since the NYT took over, it's been changed. But there are, okay. So in our text chain of eight people, one person never writes anything.

Yeah, ever. Ever. Another person can only tell the truth. One person's always sitting. But then two, so she, it's no surprise she's not playing Wyrtle. But then there are two who just- It's no surprise.

She might be playing every day, she just doesn't tell us. Exactly. Doesn't tell us, but then there are two who refuse to play, like they're above it all. I know. Yeah, makes me sick in my stomach. Yeah, they s above it all. I know. Makes me sick in my stomach. Yeah, they sicken me. Isn't it annoying to get our updates every day

if you don't even play? Why don't you play? When you can get a response from the Lurker on your text thread, it is a big day. It is thrilling. Sometimes you gotta call him. The Lurker actually texted me privately one time and I was completely shocked.

That is nuts. I'll see her in person every, oh, it's a herp. Oh, did she say, please take me off the text thread? Yeah, she was like, I really hate hearing from Paul and Scott so much. Ah! Ah! I said, I understand, but you have to stay.

It's a couple's thing. So text threads obviously were a lifeline to people when the pandemic happened where we couldn't see people. But are they going to continue? My lifeline becomes my death line. Metallica. What's the thing that when you think of the beginning of the pandemic that you think of most about like your personal existence?

Like what, like for me, I think about how I was like, I got onto a subscription box of like random vegetables for some reason. And I was like roasting them all the time. And I was always eating roasted vegetables. I remember how hard it was to get toilet paper. And then there was a local restaurant and restaurants, local restaurants were like, oh shit,

no one's ever gonna come in. And they were like trying to figure out ways to, to get money. And so this one local restaurants were like, oh shit, no one's ever gonna come in. And they were like trying to figure out ways to get money. And so this one local restaurant was like, hey, we've, you know, for $300 or something, we're gonna, we have all of the ingredients for stuff and we'll give you this care package of eggs and milk. Eggs and milk were really, eggs especially, were very hard to get.

So we're gonna give you eggs and milk and toilet paper and then meats and then cheeses and then some wine. A new suit of clothes. Some wine, right? And a guy to cook it. So the package. It's me, I wanna live with you. And we're like, okay, we need toilet paper, we need eggs.

Let's get this. And then it was like one roll of toilet paper. No. Like one meat. Six eggs, one cut of meat. What? And then like. For $300 and you have to cook it?

And then 15 bottles of wine. Oh my God. It was like they were just trying to clear out their wine stash. Which does make sense, but it's such misleading. Mostly what I remember about Corinth, he was drinking half a bottle of wine every night. Yeah.

Yeah, I also ordered toilet paper from Office Depot and so I had a giant office-size roll that I was working through for a long time. Look, I got it. I gave one. I had six of them. Office-size like the big, like a wheel of cheese size? I gave one away, and then I went through the rest of them,

and I just kept going. I got to ask, speaking of toilet paper, because this is going on. And now you have to ask this? Yes, I do. How do you use it, and do you wipe? Because I use coolers. Do you just put it up there? Because what do they mean about wiping? Oh, god. Oh, my do. How do you use it and do you wipe? Because I use, Kula just licks my butt.

What do they mean about wiping? Oh God. Oh my God. No. No, okay, so. She said that on Add to Cartoon. You could at least have said the dogs. So this is an issue going on for us right now.

Why do they make this thin toilet paper? It has no use. It's for cheapskates. Or for bad plumbing. Oh. Because you see it in offices a lot. Which, if you have bad plumbing, it's because you're a cheapskates. Or for bad plumbing. Oh. Because you see it in offices a lot. Which, if you have bad plumbing, it's because you're a cheapskate. But if you have that thing where you don't flush

a normal toilet, you have to use that. But... But you see it, okay, so you see it in offices everywhere. But it's everywhere, it's everywhere. And then we get a whole, we got like a 24 pack of toilet paper or something like that, open it up and much to our chagrin, it's all super, super fucking thin.

It's just not usable. Don't even make it. You know, my favorite brand, should I say it now? Is that too risky? Well, we want bombas. Why is it risky? Because if another toilet paper wants to have me do butt ads for them.

Let them compete for us. Okay, my favorite toilet paper after trying them all. Shit wipers? Cottonel ribbed toilet paper. Oh, for her pleasure. Yeah. Oh. It's so good.

It's so soft. Because some other brands are a little bit dusty with how thick they are. It's almost like dusty. Yeah. Yeah, these are very well made. Do you ever have this, like you go to blow your nose and you accidentally inhale the tissue dust?

Oh. I've never thought about it, but I'm sure it's happened. Tissue dust, cause it's just been sitting there like. No, like the fibers of the tissue. Some tissue has like real white dust. Right. Yeah. Interesting.

Well, this is my plea, stop making it, stop disguising it so that people accidentally buy it in the store. Or call it extra thin, like if there's some weirdo out there. Like it's a feature. Yeah, who loves it. Sometimes I buy really thin tissue, and then sometimes I like that, and sometimes it gets really annoying,

and I can't wait to finish the box so I can use a good box. I remember when I was broke, like stealing toilet paper from work. Oh, you've gotta steal it. For the house, yeah. Oh, you've gotta steal it. Oh, you've gotta. But often it was that super stealing toilet paper from work. Oh, you've got to steal it. For the house, yeah. Oh, you've got to steal it. But often it was that super thin toilet paper.

Yeah, but if you're stealing it, it doesn't matter. No, exactly. It was just thank God you're here. Yeah. But it was when you had money to... Well, I've done it from Starbucks a few times. Oh. Well, that's a crime against humanity.

Because the next person doesn't have any TP. Well, no, I mean, they obviously have a... And what are the Starbucks employees going to steal? They come to my house and they steal coffee. Oh, that's weird. They want the good stuff. Yeah, not Starbucks. But I feel like I've done it relatively recently.

Like, what? Like within the last seven years or something. Like you were like out of it. Wow. And you were like, oh, I just need this. I don't remember. You were like in a blackout? I don't remember what situation it was, but I remember being in a Starbucks and going like,

well, I guess I got to steal this. Toilet paper? It's like you couldn't walk the next door to CVS. I can't remember what situation I was in. Maybe this was, I was going through like terrible times back in like 2002. So maybe it was as long ago as that. That's a long time ago compared to seven years ago.

No, but yeah, maybe it just feels long ago as that. That's a long time ago compared to seven years ago. No, but yeah, maybe it just feels like seven, but yeah. Terrible times? Feels like seven. 2002? All of my work dried up, and then every company that I did have work with wouldn't pay me.

And they just would not pay me for a year sometimes. That's crazy. I hate fighting. I had a terrible time like that, and I remember asking my management for money, like, can you give me a loan somehow? And they're like, we don't do that. My manager- I was like, okay.

Very nicely, my manager did give me a loan, which got me out of a certain situation. Should've gone with that manager. But it was one of those situations where it was like the WGA, the Writers Guild, were like, you need to pay us this money or else we are not releasing your check to you. And I was like, but I need the check to pay you.

And they're like, well, sorry, you're gonna have to find another way. Take it out of the check? Yes. You hold all the power. Yes, but they say. It's really dumb. I remember I had a lien put on, I'm sorry.

Go ahead. Oh no, go ahead. I had a lien put on my finances because I had never paid taxes because I never had money. Ah, great. And then it's like, I- Well, also the government can't make you. What is that called? That's an attitude.

I recently saw- It seems like they can. I think they can. I know, but there is a certain group of like libertarianism that feels like- There's no such thing as taxes. There's no such thing as taxes that in fact like speeding tickets and stuff like that,

they can't make you do that. There was one that I saw that was like, when the officer gives you a ticket, they need to say that they're a collection agency. And if they don't do that, then legally you are not allowed to pay. Like all these fucking weird wackos who think that. Here's what I think, is that speeding tickets,

yes, there should be a ticket for that. Like that's dangerous, right? You're endangering people. Parking ticket, unless it's like you're in like a, like by a hydrant, every parking ticket should be 10 bucks. I feel like you'd make so much more money. How much are parking tickets? But then people-

They're like $70 sometimes. But that's partly why people don't- It depends on what the thing is, you know? Well, here's- But if it was 10, everyone would just be doing it all the time. Yeah. Exactly. And then they make more money. Here's the theory that people say is like,

would you pay $280 to park wherever you wanted in the city anytime? Right. And we'll just never pay for a meter. And you'll get like four parking tickets a year. And, but it's like- So it's 280 per year. Yeah, it's like 280 dollars to park

wherever you want in the city for free. Yeah. I mean, it adds up here. It's the most expensive. It does, yeah. And now it's not free on Saturdays and- Well, the signs are always like, not after Tuesday, but don't look down.

If you see a sign, then you gotta frown. Pay your ticket on Monday, Wednesday, Tuesday. You're like, what? It never makes sense. So many years where I had so many parking tickets that went into collection, parking tickets and speeding tickets, that when I would be pulled over by a cop,

I would just like start sweating because I knew if they ran my license, I'd be going to jail and like I would be pulled over by a cop, I would just like start sweating because I knew if they ran my license, I'd be going to jail and like everything would be impounded. I would just be like, Everything, the car, me, my comic books. And I, and, If you all got impounded together, it'd be fun.

You, your comic books, your car. I am my car, I just drive right all over him. Doing donuts in the jail cell. But oh yeah, so, but 2002 was terrible. My car was repossessed twice. The first time I got it back, second time they were like, we're not giving this back to you. And then it cost me $30,000 to have it repossessed.

That's so much money. Yeah, and then it was at a point where I was like, I remember my dad was over visiting me, I was like, man, the Del Taco 99 cent menu is, it's so good because you can get this, this, and that, you know, it's like I'm a 32 year old man. And he was like. He's like, what are you doing with your life?

Is the show business thing working out? Well, you turned it around. That's right, you turned it around. Bright eyes. it around. That's right, you turned it around. Bright eyes. Turn around. Every now and then I get a little bit lonely when I got it all out. Turn around.

Dabba dabba do ba dabba dee la do Dabba dabba do ba dabba la la la la Turn around. Bright eyes. Every now and then I'm gonna cry. And I need you bright light. Live it up, live it up, live it up. And I need you now, do I? I like that song. That's a great song.

Jim Steinman, right? It's a classic Jim Steinman, absolutely. The drama. The Steinman. It's absolutely fantastic. Yeah. It's so good. It's maybe the best song ever written.

What's some good TV you're watching right now? I'll give you one, The Dropout. What is that? Oh, The Dropout. Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes. Oh yeah. And she's like, we need to figure out Thanos. I auditioned.

We need to figure out how to kill Thanos. I auditioned for that film. You don't get that. You don't get that. I don't, is it from? Don't worry. Okay. You'll find out.

Oh, I'll find out. You'll, you'll. Hey, maybe the kids don't understand, but the kids are gonna love it. Wow, okay, whatever. Maybe the kids don't understand, but the kids are gonna love it. What is the Back to the Future?

Oh, you're not ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it. You're not ready for this, but your kids are gonna love it. Hey, it's your cousin Marvin. That's one of those things where it's like, this joke isn't worth it. It's not worth the logic.

What, the Back to the Future joke? Yeah. It was great. It's your cousin Marvin Barry, this joke isn't worth it. It's not worth the logic. What, the Back to the Future joke? Yeah. It was great. It's your cousin Marvin Barry, this is the new sound you've been looking for. Loved it. I hated it, I hated it. Loved it, I sat there just holding my belly.

But you were a child, and now you're a man, you must put away childish things. Wait, wait, what? Tell me that joke and I'll show you how much I laugh at it right now as an adult. Okay, so he's playing Johnny B. Goode, Marty McFly, right? And then... I'll do that.

There's a young black man off to the side. He is... the time in which he lives is terrible. Not much better today. He picks up the phone. He calls his cousin Chuck Berry. He says, Hey Chuck, it's your cousin, Marvin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well, listen to this. Now you've already heard this joke before.

I love it. That was so scary. And this is me just retelling it, devoid of any visuals. Why do you actually laugh like that? Oh man. Have you ever been in a theater where people are laughing? They have like a very specific and irritating laugh. Yes, I have. Sometimes I've been the one on stage.

You're actually talking about this on staff homecams. Sometimes I've been recording something. Oh, jeez. Do you eject them if you're recording it? Oh, yeah. I stop everything down and I call security. Get the fuck out of here. Stop having fun.

There was a certain, uh. Wait, hold on. OK. What would do you, what was your role that you auditioned for on the dropout? Oh, well, I later saw it being played by this actor, William H. Macy? Ha ha ha!

Disgraced actor, William H. Macy? He was barely disgraced. He wasn't disgraced? How come he didn't go to jail? Well, because he let his wife take the hit. He was on one of those calls? I remember that very vividly. At least one of those calls.

We can't talk about famous people on this show. Just true. We'll never get them as guests. But that's so funny you auditioned for that. Yeah. Why did they do that? I don't know. Because they're looking for a backup if they can't afford the person they actually want.

And then I texted you, yeah I know, but it's like- But that list is far and wide at that point. But if your starting point is William H. Macy or whatever- There's 50 people who are very, very famous. Yes, before you get to me, like, oh, okay, I get it. Remember when... Absolutely everyone said no.

But Marilyn Rice Cup is the wife where it's like, that would be a great pairing. I think so. I would have had a ball being her husband on that show. And in life. And in life. She turned me down. In life! I'm so sorry.

Remember when famous people would turn down roles and were choosy? Now they get, and then roles were like available for people like us. And now they take anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because everything is, Everything's only five episodes now.

Everything's five episodes. There's no judgment about doing TV like they're used to. Exactly, exactly. I texted you guys about that, the Pinocchio movie. Oh yeah. That I got this, this was over 14. You were gonna play the nose. I texted you guys about that, the Pinocchio movie. Oh yeah. That I got this, this was over quarantine. You were gonna play the nose. I'm growing.

I'm a chode. I got an audition. What? One day I wanna be a real penis. I got this audition over quarantine to play Jiminy Cricket in a new version of Pinocchio. And I was like, and the notes were so specific. It's like, we're trying to match the voice

of the 1940s Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket. And here's what it sounds like. They send you this reference. And, you know, like I do impressions and I'm like, I did a pretty good job and I even sang the song, which was not a requirement, which I can do pretty well. And then I'm finally like, I was like, what ever happened with that?

And I looked it up and it's Joseph Gordon Levitt? Yeah. Well, the audition process was rigorous, but he made it through. He made it. I can't wait to hear that. I had an audition to voice. I'm sure it'll be exactly what they asked for.

No, I had an audition for the voice of a character the actress had passed away who did this character. I'm not gonna talk about what it was. I believe we've talked about this. Go ahead. Personally. No, on the show. Did I say it?

I think so, go ahead. No, I think we've talked about it. Oh, I don't think I would say it. Oh man, then give us those juicy deets here. Is this better than just telling a story again? Is it better that we sit here for five minutes? I don't know, yeah. I don't know, I don't know.

I mean, anyways, it was like an iconic character and I really worked hard on the impression. And I think I did a really good job. And then... Was it Doc Brown? But the person who got it is really... What? He's a liar. ...is an extremely established voice actor.

And not like super famous in that way, but super famous in the voice. Right, yeah. Where I was like, that one makes sense. She's really, really good. I was working on it really hard, but I would have been way more nervous to achieve. Because it's a very specific thing where you say, oh yeah, of course that makes sense.

This is what the person does. That was one where I was like, okay. You know what I mean? Like sometimes they just drive you insane though when you see what it is. And it's just like, why was I sending this into the void? Yes, exactly. Yeah. Exactly.

Sometimes I feel like I don't get hired for stuff because I have too many, just too many requirements for that. Like I, you know, offer only, I won't learn lines. You need to be propped up by a- I need to be number one on the call sheet, no matter what. I have to be carried in on a litter.

I have to be carried in, uh, what's his phase? Weekend at Bernie's style. Yeah, I have to pretend to be dead. Yes, you have to put sunglasses on me. And a wine shirt. And just move my mouth up and down. All right, we have to take a break. We'll be right back.

That was one of the funniest things. It was very funny. It was very funny. I thought I was going to burst a blood vessel.

Again, in my defense, it was very hard to have to keep going back and looking up the rules again. Well, you would close it. I wouldn't close. Well, because I had to go to another, I had to go to... But the funniest thing was when you said, it's impossible to write three things for each topic, but you were using any letter you want.

Yes. Like, movies. I meant time... What are three movies? I meant time-wise. I didn't mean, like, two... I didn't think it was impossible. Who could think of three women's names? Did you find a game?

Yeah, I did. Great. Tell us. I call it games. I always do. I call it games. It's games. Did you find a game? Yeah, I did. That's a feature. Great, tell us. Like I always do. I call it games. It's three, Lauren. Lauren. People love this. Shut your damn mouth.

This is called Let's Try That Again, submitted by Nick. Out you two fairies go through the door, out the window. We're on the set of a huge Hollywood blockbuster. Did he say fairies? No, he didn't say fairies. What was it? Pixies. Pixies, right.

Out you two pixies go through the door or through the window. Out the door, through the window. We are on the set of a huge Hollywood blockbuster. Each player is assigned the role of either the star, the director, or the studio executive. The star decides on a phrase or line of dialogue that they are going to deliver. Example, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. Classic. On each reading, the studio executive picks a celebrity that they would like the star to emulate in their reading. They communicate this to the director through text. And it's the job of the director to coach the star

into reading their line in the style of that celebrity. What? The director must- Can you read that part over? Just that part. What? Just that part. Just that part.

Just start over. What? What? Just that part. On each reading, the studio executive picks a celebrity that they would like the star to emulate in their reading. Okay. They communicate this to the director, to the director.

Who then has to, how do they, oh, through a text, got it. It's Wine Wednesday, guys. And it's the job of the director to coach the star into reading the line in the style of that celebrity. Without mentioning who the celebrity is, or? Yes, the director has to get, has to. Say, read it more this way. So the studio executive tells the director, we want it to be like this way. So the studio executive tells the director,

we want it to be like this. And then the director directs the star to try to get them to say it in the impression of- Without using that person's name. That person. Yes, exactly. The director must only instruct the star in the way they are saying the piece of dialogue.

Try a lower tone, but a bit more nasal. Read it like you've been smoking 100 cigarettes a day and slower. The star should piece together the celebrity's identity and only through those commands, the director cannot give hints to their identity in every other manner. So you can't say like, Reverend Jim from Taxi.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, great, let's do it. Who wants to be the- The aim of the game is for the star to figure out which celebrity they're being coached to resemble, then the studio executive picks another or the roles rotate. Yeah, we're gonna rotate that show.

Who's going to be the whatever? Who wants to be what? I'll be the director. Okay, I'll be the star. Okay, I'll be the studio executive. Former babysitter. Okay. Okay, so you text.

Okay, and you come up with a line. You're the director, you're the star. Yeah, you come up with a line you wanna say. You text Scott. You're the director. And the line, well I think the executive should also give the line, because it's more to do. Well. Good point. Okay, yeah, go ahead. You're the director. Well, I think the executive should also give the line because it's more to do.

Well. Good point. Okay, yeah, go ahead. Good point. Yeah. Good point. Okay, give Lauren her lines, studio executive. The line is, oh, is it a line that exists or it can be anything?

It can be anything. No, you make it up. The line exists, I'll never forget you, and I'll always be in your heart. Okay. Okay. Okay. And you've got those stars name that I'm impersonating. And I text the star to Scott, right?

Yes, yeah. So practice your line for a bit. I'll never forget you, and you'll always be in my heart. That's good. So you're off book, but. Yeah, I worked on it for weeks. I actually got my coach involved. Oh, okay.

What's your motivation? Just I'll never forget them and they'll always be in my heart. Yeah, that's a good motivation for that line in particular. Yeah. I'm not sold on this. Can you give her some direction or something? Yeah. Could you say it more like a man-child kind of... in that way a little bit?

I'll never forget you, but you'll always be in my heart. That sounds a little too New York. Could you make it back East, but more of a Boston kind of thing? I'll never forget you, but you'll always be in my heart. Okay, a little more high pitched. I'll never forget you, but you'll always be in my heart. But sounding like a baby who has mental problems. I'll never forget you, but you'll always be in my heart.

Adam Sandler. You got very close, yes. Yes. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It was actually my first guess, but I couldn't figure out what I was doing. And then I was like, I'll just try to get there. Um, okay. Okay. Well, you want to rotate? Yeah. Scott or Paul's the star. Scott's the studio executive and I'm the director.

And I, and so you text me and you tell Paul a line. Okay, Paul, I want you to say, oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. Oh my God. This earthquake is making the earth shake. That's God, this earthquake is making the Earth shake. That's great. Let me just confer for a second. If you could just work on that a little bit. The earthquake, oh my God,

this earthquake is making the Earth shake. I love that. This earthquake is making the Earth shake. I love that. Could you step in? Yeah, okay. Paul? Who hired this? Yes.

No, I did. It's okay, he's fantastic. He's a friend. God gets studio approval though. Okay, we're gonna have this? Yes. No, I did. It's okay, he's fantastic. He's a friend. Gotta get studio approval though. Okay, we're gonna have it by the end of the day. I thought that was your job. By the end of the day, this is the first shot.

Aren't you the studio? Yeah. Okay. Well, approve it. Sorry, Paul? I don't. Okay. Can you go back to Video Village?

Watch this. We work together. We can afford Video Village. We've worked together so many times. Okay, Paul. Watch this. Yes. Can you say the line again?

Oh, my God, this earthquake is making the Earth shake. I love that. Can you do it like you're older? Oh, my God, this earthquake is making the Earth shake. More of a woman. Oh, my God, this earthquake is making the Earth shake. And keep your teeth closer together. Oh, my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. And get a little shaky with it. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake.

And keep your teeth close together. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. This is getting really good. Is it Katherine Hepburn? No, a little sillier. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. Yeah. Is it Sher Hepburn? No, a little sillier. Oh my God, the earthquake, the earthquake. Yeah. Is it Sherri Lewis?

No. I have to keep my teeth closed, right? I think it sounds really good how you're doing. Maybe, yeah, keep those SH sounds going. So let's kind of hear that. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. That's really good. This earthquake is making the earth shake. Yeah's really good. This earthquake is making the earth shake.

Yeah. Older, older, older. Yeah. Okay, I'll be directing. Oh, sorry. Older, please. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the earth shake. And give it real confidence.

Oh, what? Shaky but confident. Yeah, and you're... The shaky is just from your age. Oh, my God. This earthquake is making the Earth shake. And really give it to it. Give it to your scene partner louder.

Definitely louder. You can open your mouth a little bit, but keep the teeth kind of wanting to come close to you. Oh, my God. This earthquake is making the Earth shake. You're really nailing it. I mean, do you have any more guesses on who you mean? Cartman. Try to lisp just even more.

Lisp? With the S's, yeah. More like you have, your tongue and cheek are kind of. Yeah, your dentures are kind of stuck. Yeah. Oh my God, this earthquakeures are kind of stuck. Oh my God, this earthquake is making the Earth shake. Is it Zelda Rubenstein from Poltergeist?

No. No, do we just say? Yeah, I have no idea. Carol Channing! You really sounded like her. But if you told me to stretch it out a little bit. Oh my God. This earthquake is making the earth shake.

Also her voice doesn't shake. Maybe a deafening. But I was trying to lead you there. Yeah, yeah. And I think I did a great job. Yeah, I think you did a great job. He sounded a lot like it. Yeah.

Okay, so now Paul is the director, Scott's the star. I get to text Paul, a celebrity, and you tell Scott a line. Okay. Now you're the producer, right? So you tell him a line. Yeah, I tell him a celebrity. Oh, I tell you a line. Yeah. Okay,'re the producer, right? Yeah, I tell them a celebrity. You tell them the line.

Oh, I tell you a line. Yeah. Okay. I tell Paul who it's going to be and the answer is? Meanwhile, I'm here trying to learn my lines. Okay. And the line is, I wish I could get this plant to grow. Okay.

I wish I could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. That's great could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. That's great. That's great. Let's try this. More laid back. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Okay. More like that level of laid back and more thoughtful.

I wish I could get this plant to grow. No. Okay. Sorry. Seemed like that's what you were going for. Maybe not thoughtful, but almost wistful. Like laid back, wistful. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Is that wistful? I wish I could get this plant to grow. But you're not sad. I wish I could get this plant to grow. That's better. That's better. And now I want to give it a little bit of a sort of a panhandle flavor, like a little Texas. I wish I could get this plant to grow.

I wish I could get this plant to grow. Uh-huh. I wish I could get this plant to grow. I'm sorry, director? That's a little, that's, yeah. Can you kind of? I'm the director. Yeah, I'm talking to you.

Yeah. Who's this? Well, yeah. Sorry, I'm- I knew a studio executive who butted in, and I remember the director shut him down so hard. And do you want me to try? No. Okay.

Thank you. So not- Really getting him. That's a little me to try? No. Okay. Um. Thank you. So not. Really getting into it. That's a little too southern. More Texas like, you know. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Uh, yeah, but no, that's better, but remember, like George W. Bush is, you know, is Texas, you know.

Hey. But don't do George W. Bush. Come on over here, hammy. Don't, don't, hammy. That was actually closer Come on over here, Hammy. Don't... Hammy. That was actually closer in some ways. That was closer. I wish I could get this plant to grow. But remember, laid back,

you're thinking fondly about this plant. So let me... I want every outhouse, every small house. Oh, Tommy Lee Jones, sure. Okay. Yeah, sort of like that. Every small house. Every small house, every big house, every outhouse.

So that's accent. Think of that for the accent. But then again, laid back. I wish I could get this plant to grow. And then house, every big house, every outhouse. So that's accent. Think of that for the accent, but then again, laid back. I wish I could get this plant to grow. And then director, I just have- Even more, slow it down. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Director, I have a tip that I think is really- Okay, I'm not, I didn't think that was our relationship,

but go ahead. Because I actually used to be a director just like a few minutes ago. Right. What were you directing a few minutes ago? I feel like I remember, you're the one in the story when the studio executive butted in and you stopped him, right?

Yeah. Because it was not his turn to do directing. Yeah, but now that I'm a studio executive, I actually understand. Oh, you see the other side of it? Uh-huh, uh-huh. No, no, it's fine. I'd like to be a studio executive.

I'm gonna actually butt out. I'm gonna butt out. Great. Okay. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Slow it down. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Slow it down. I wish I could get. You're getting a little southern now.

It's like. Oh, Lord. Don't do that. Don't do that. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Remember Texas, you have that. Be shimmy. That, yeah.

Sh, sh, shimmy. Hey. On your eshoo. I wish I could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Be younger. Be younger. I wish I could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Be younger. Be younger. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Not more energetic, though.

No, but that's doing something. I wish I could get this plant to grow. I wish I could get this plant to grow. No. Say it like... Do you have any guesses? No. Say it like it's the most... Like, it's a wild thing that you're thinking about.

I wish I could get this plant to grow. But like take the energy down. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Give it a little wow in your mind. I wish I could get this plant to grow. That's good. It's good. I wish I could get this plant to grow. That's good. It's good.

I wish I could get this plant to grow. Do you wanna, can I please suggest something? Yeah. Keep your mouth really tight. I wish I could get this plant to grow. Are you happy? Yeah. You know what, this needs one other person

who can guess it from that impression. Oh. Instead of me, I can barely guess it from that impression. Oh. Instead of me, I can barely hear it when I'm doing it. Okay, what if we do one round where the director comes up with the- The person and then the producer is- Trying to guess. And then the producer wins when the producer goes,

by the way, who am I? Owen Wilson. Oh, wow, I wish I could get this plant to grow. Wow. Where the producer is basically like, no, don't do it like Owen Wilson, and that means they grow. Wow. Where the producer is basically like, no, don't do it like Owen Wilson, and that means they win. Oh.

You know what I mean? Oh, okay, okay. Wanna do one round like that? Yeah. I'll be the producer since we started there. Okay. And you're the star. Okay.

And then you're the director. Okay. Okay. And so you have a- You come up with the person in your mind, and you also give me the line, and then the- I can give you the line. Okay, fine.

Since that'll give me more to do. And then you come up in your minds and you're steering her towards that. Okay. Okay, so the line is, who put this cat in the basement? We all know he's an addict cat. Who put this cat in the basement? We all know he's an addict cat.

Who put this cat in the basement? We all know he's an addict cat. Okay. Easy to say. I'm gonna say- I've been working on it, it's good. Make it like, that's good, first of all. Thanks.

I think for this character- I loved it, personally. I'd say like, let's shoot. How about a little more hesitant at times? Who put this cat in the basement? Okay. And then like sort of a deeper voice. Who put this cat in the basement? We all know it's an addict cat.

That's good. And more, make it sort of like you're realizing the words as you're saying them. Who put this cat in the basement? Not like Christopher Walken, no. No, I didn't think that was like Christopher Walken. Oh, okay, all right, all right. This is an addict cat.

Not like Drew Barrymore either. No, I didn't think that was like Drew Barrymore. And so that's great. And then add in a little excitement, a little, like, random excitement. Who put this cat in the basement? This is an addict cat. Okay, not so much excitement as wonder.

Who put this cat in the basement? This is an addict cat. Don't do it like Nicole Kidman in that AMC ad. Yes, please don't do that. I would say you can be, with your halting, you can be even stammering a little bit. Who put this cat in the basement? This is an addict cat.

This is really coming along. Yeah. I like really coming along. Yeah. I like this a lot. Okay. Except I feel like it's too much like, oh man, it does sound like Drew Barrymore to me. I don't know. I know who I think it is.

Who put this cat? No, one more. Can I guess? More. Yeah, what do you got? Or no, I don't think you can guess. Kristen Stewart? No. I would not even begin to know what that sounds like.

Interesting. Okay, fine, keep going. All right, so. Winona Ryder? No, your voice is deep, that's good. So it's a man. Halting, stammering, a little bit of wonder. You're sort of excited to be discovering these words

as you're saying them. Who put this cat in the basement? This is an attic cat. Okay, I like that. Geez, this is tough. I don't know, I mean, it sounds like something. I don't think I'm ever gonna get it. Who is it? Who is it?

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? Can you feel your hormones raging more than ever? Do you wake up every day wondering, is this it? Guess what? You're not alone. Welcome to My Soul Clad Midlife, a weekly podcast hosted by me, Reshma Sajjani.

On this show, we're going to expose the con we've been sold about middle age, figure out what the fuck we want from our lives, and how to get there. We'll have help from guests like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, and Alana Glazer. You can listen to My Soul Called Midlife ad-free on Amazon Music.
