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! Lauren, the first episode of the new year? I'm so sorry. Oh, I accept your apology.

I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. I didn't mean it. My name is Paul of Toggen. Hi, my name is Scott Aukerman. My name is Lauren Lopkus. That is Lauren? That's not bad for your production company card at the end of one of your shows.

My name is Lauren Lopkus. bad for your production company card at the end of one of your shows. Like imagine like monks singing it, you know, I would like to be a screen full of, um, it's like one of those filters where it looks like a hundred people, but it's just one person and it's Holly. And I'm making her mouth go, I'm the lip gloss. We're here. It's a new year and we're still us.

This is, but we're going to be so different this year. Do you guys have resolutions? Oh, no, we talked about this in an earlier episode. Do we have new ones? We talked about this in an earlier episode. Do we have new ones? We talked about this in a recent episode? No, but- What, like in November or something? You mean like before last year?

Yeah, like in season one, we talked about resolutions. Yeah, because now we're supposed to have new ones. I can't believe they're repeating topics. I gotta work on new things? I still haven't done the old things. This isn't a repeated topic. This is a new topic. What do you want to do in the new year?

My main goal is to work on my fitness. I want to get back into exercising regularly. I'm already doing as much as I can at this moment, but I know that in the new year, when I have more help, it will be better. Do you think Google is going to become outdated and there's going to be a new thing that we all talk about and when you say Google, you're gonna sound old?

Yeah, but a baby will invent it, it'll be called Goo Goo. That's good. You tired, Scott? No. You're tired. You pretend to be asleep for myself. Goo Goo. And a baby will invent it and it'll be called Goo Goo.

I wish I could sleep 24 hours a day. Wouldn't that be great? Don't you wish you could just put your brain in a jar but then like do stuff? I wish I could sleep 24 hours a day. Wouldn't that be great? Don't you wish you could just put your brain in a jar, but then like do stuff? I wish I could put my brain in a jar and be like, hey, good looking, I'll be back to pick this up later. And then come back like 20 years from now and be like, hey, I'm here for my brain.

I would like to put my brain in a jar, but I also like would like to see it in the jar. And I don't know if I could do that if the brain's in the jar. But what if it, like, your brain was still receiving transmissions so you could. Well, how does that work? The brain is still working.

It's just resting. Okay, so the brain. Oh, well, what's the point then? You get to feel like you're sleeping, but you're doing stuff. Tell you what, two brains. I'm walking around in shit? Yeah.

Two brains. You have a backup brain that will register sight in those like you know any sort of transmissions and stuff so that's enough for you to see that brain in the jar but it's not where you have to think all the time that's all I want and then right to sleep speaking of two brains do you remember how we used to think or maybe that we were told that dinosaurs, some dinosaurs had two brains? Do you remember that? I remember them having like key size brains.

I, wait, Lauren, what did you say? Like they were two nuts, like two like, um. No, they were not side by side. Chestnuts. I don't remember, like they had one in their head and one in their butt or something. Yeah. Like going in their spine or their tail or something. Really? Yeah. I remember hearing that when I was a kid. You know what kind of fucks people up? It was not all dinosaurs, but certain dinosaurs like a stegosaurus or something like that.

Oh, the double dinosaur brain myth. Yeah. For decades, popular articles and books claimed that the armor plated stegosaurus and the biggest of the sauropod dinosaurs had second brains. Oh God, so many ads are popping up. Oh God. What are they ads for? I don't know, I clicked out of it so fast. I don't know what's going on.

All right. Need a second brain? Okay, had second brains in their rumps. These dinosaurs, it was said, Could reason. In their lady lumps? These dinosaurs, it was said, could reason a posteriori thanks to the extra mass of tissue. It was a cute idea, but a totally wrong hypothesis that actually underscores a different dinosaur mystery.

Do you want to know what that is? Yeah, you may as well hit us with it. Dinosaur brain expert, Emily Buchholtholes outlined the double brain issue in the newly published second edition of the complete dinosaur. The idea stems from the work of 19th century Yale paleontologist, Othneel Charles Marsh. I'm sorry, did you say Yelp paleontologist? Yale, but Paul, I think you should use the name Othneel as one of your characters. Othneel.

In an assessment of the sauropod Camarasaurus, Marsh noticed that the canal in the vertebrae over the dinosaur's hips enlarged into an expanded canal that was larger than the cavity for the dinosaur's brains. The brain, this is the most suggestive fact he wrote, and according to Butkoltz in 1881, Marsh described a similar expansion in the neural canal of Stegosaurus

as a posterior brain case. Okay, but can we just talk about how it feels like every- Her name is Butthole and she's- And his name is Othniel. It's crazy. But can we just talk about how every year it feels like they're like, this dinosaur actually was covered in feathers.

And we- Yeah. Yeah. I think they all wore something. We don't know shit about these dinosaurs. Or maybe some of them have fur. Have we ever thought about that? Yeah. What they're going to find out is that there's

no such thing as dinosaurs, and the Earth is only 5,000 years old. Yes. I love that you guys believe that. Thank you. It's so fun to show different perspectives. I remember as a kid thinking, how could they have, if they had two brains, what would the other brain, like,

how would you? Yeah, what's the other brain controlling? Yeah, it was the other brain controlling. Yeah. And now I'm relieved to find out that it doesn't make any sense. And of course, they didn't have two brains. Is is the size of the brain the thing that makes you smarter? Because that's what I always heard is like the motion of the ocean. I was going to say. But I had always heard like, oh, dinosaurs.

Yeah, they were big, but they had tiny pea sized brains. That's why they weren't smart. Let's find out. I thought they were willfully ignorant. They were just like, I don't want to learn this. Yeah. I want to go to school. I have a lot of common sense.

I got a lot of dinosaur sense. I never heard their brains were that small. I don't know why I heard that, but I did. And I couldn't tell you why, but I could tell you that it- There is no clear correlation between absolute or relative brain size and intelligence. Assuming that absolute brain size is decisive for intelligence, then whales or elephants should be more intelligent than humans and horses more intelligent than chimpanzees, which definitely is not the case.

Yeah. Oh, fuck. Sorry, horses, you're dumb. Slam dunk. Fucking roasted those horses. I saw a really great video of this elephant doing a joke. Dumber than a monkey. I saw an elephant doing a joke. You saw an elephant doing a joke?

This elephant took the hat off the woman, put it in its mouth, and then she said, give me my hat back, and he went, eh, put it right back on her head. I knew. I tried to enjoy a similar thing like that where an elephant played a little prank on somebody. Might've been the exact same thing.

I saw another one after I saw that, so you might've seen that one. And then of course, a bunch of people are like, that elephant has been cruelly trained. I knew that had to be the fucking deal. I can't. Remember that video? Everyone sucks.

We've talked about this, right? It's like, yeah, of course, elephants aren't just going to naturally do that, I guess, but it still sucks. I thought it might be smart enough to do that. I think they're smart. We've talked about the- I like elephants. We've talked about the video about the elephant backing up and the guy sweeping his cage.

Have we talked about that? Mmm, that doesn't ring a bell to me. Guy sweeping up the elephant's cage He's just minding his own business this elephant backs up and the guy's head gets stuck in the elephant's butthole We never talked about this. Okay, so that's Backs his buck Colts and this guy's head gets stuck in it and he pops it out and immediately barfs. I mean, that makes sense. I guess I mean, I guess that's what I would do if we've talked about elephants. I've definitely said this, but I just always remember.

And this isn't as good as that by any means. But when I was little, I went to the zoo and they had a video. The elephant was the elephant cage was empty at Lincoln Park Zoo. And then there was a small TV hanging in the corner of the cage. And it had a video playing over and over of this elephant giving birth. And the elephants come out in a full sack.

And then it was- Oh wow. And it just plops under the ground. And that's it. But I did think about that when I was in labor because there was a point where my water hadn't broken. And then they said the baby can be born with the water not being broken.

And I was like, oh, like, oh yeah. I forget what the term is for that. There's a specific term. It's crazy to see a video of a human baby with that where they did the sack doesn't break or whatever and they come out and then they pop the sack and then the baby's like, ah. Hey.

Wait, they just had a TV in the zoo? So this is a zoo for TVs? Yeah. What a way to get around. Last step is no life. Like animals must be so expensive. Yeah, just GVs. I mean, but TVs. Doesn't it kill you how small the spaces are

for the animals actually when you're an adult and you realize like, oh, they don't have more room back there and this is actually really sad. Like when the like big, big cats are like pacing back and forth, like a dressing room. I remember going to, I used to love going to the zoo when I was a kid, Philadelphia zoo, oldest zoo in the country, went to the LA zoo and it destroyed zoos for me forever. Yeah. It was so depressing. Like there was a- Well then the Philadelphia one,

is it really cool because it's old? Like have they made a lot of improvements and made it like special? I haven't been there in forever, but I can tell you, I remember going in the reptile house and there was a big sea turtle who was just like pressed up against the glass, like- Throw him on the glass.

Halfway out of the water. Yeah. He put him on the glass. Putting his tits up. Yeah. And it was just like, well, that can't be, uh, this, this animal's not thriving. Right. Yeah. I remember it like at the Lincoln Park Zoo, there's a lot of gorillas and they would,

there was always a moment. How many is a lot to you? How many gorillas is a lot to you? Five? That's a lot to you. I think. In the middle of Chicago, I think that's a moment. How many is a lot to you? How many gorillas is a lot to you? Five? That's a lot to you? Oh my God. In the middle of Chicago, I think that's a lot. Oh, so now you're quantifying it by location.

Because the San Diego Zoo is like huge. And it has like so much space. 25 to me is like a lot of gorillas. But five to you is a lot? There might have been three. But this gorilla would always go up and bash his arms against the glass. And when you're a little kid,

everyone go, ah, and like run away. And so it was crazy. And that's like, that's fucked up ultimately. That's bleak. That's bleak as hell. But should they, what do you want them to be? Like running around on the five freeway? Well, I'd rather he sit in-

That's the alternative, yes. He either is on the five or, because he can't, they take him to be like running around on the five freeway. Well, I'd rather he sit in- That's the alternative, yes. He either is on the five or, because he can't, they take him to California, but put him on the five. They should either be in the wild or on the five freeway. Yeah. We do, we have coyotes that are like

going through our yard a lot. We catch on the cameras and like, and I saw them the other day while I was watching the, walking the dogs, like they popped out in front of us. And I don't know, I mean, it's like, I don't want them to be hurt, but I don't want them here. It's like, you don't have to leave, but you can't stay here, you know what I mean?

It's like the earth is one big bar. But there's someone on the neighborhood, whatever it is, next door app. Listen, that podcast? Yeah, that podcast. Who's like, they're beautiful animals. And she takes pictures of them. And everyone's like, fuck you. There's always, in every neighborhood, every neighborhood has one coyote, like super freak. Yeah. He's like, these wonderful creatures. Oh. Look, hey, they're in charge.

I mean, I'm not going to talk shit about them because they're the bosses now. The coyotes? Yes, coyotes are now in charge. Yeah, they're the captain now. They're the captain. Look at them. Look at them. They're the captain now.

Where's that guy? He was good. He did another movie. Didn't he win like a big award? No, he got nominated for the Academy Award. Oscar. Where's that guy? He was good. He did another movie. Didn't he win a big award? No, he got nominated for Oscar. Where did he go? He should be around. He was great.

He should host this show. He should replace you. He's still acting, I believe. He was in some other movie that I saw a poster for somewhere. He's the only acceptable substitute for any of us if we ever get something. I agree. What about Dr. Hang S. Noor, who from the killing fields? What has he done lately?

Okay, he could do it too. Any non-actor who has acted for the first time and did a good job can replace one of us on three no matter should something happen to us. I love that. That's a really good rule. Thank you. Even if it's like a child actor, a baby actor,

who's after what happened. Is this including like people, when you say non-actors, do they have any show business experience? Like they did one role and then they quit. Yes, one role and they did really well and then that was it. Or a child actor who was very, very good, but got out of the business before they became an adult. I saw like one of those.

Like a Charlie Cosmo. I saw one of those Buzzfeed articles, or maybe it wasn't Buzzfeed, and I'm, but some other place that was like, these actors did a great job, but then never worked again, or they walked away from show business, and then I click on it,

and it's all people who obviously just couldn't get another part, you know? Like- That's so nice. You know, it was like, you know, someone had a minor role in a movie that kind of was popular, but then they never got another role again. And they're like- That's like just sad.

Strangely, we never heard from them again. Yeah, like they just didn't wanna do something else. Yeah, they quit show business. What if you saw an article like that and your own picture was in there? Oh no. I'm sure mine is in some weird shit like that. No, Lauren, not my Lauren.

I'm clickbait, I'm clickbait, I've been clickbait. Can't bring it up again. Don't tag me in that shit anymore. I block people who tag me in that. Including me? Yeah, I would black-out. Especially. Oh my God.

Wait, I was gonna ask you something. Just a second ago, we were talking about the substitutes for us, the, I'm the Captain-O guy. Oh, did you watch Kramer versus Kramer? Didn't you say you were going to? I have not watched it yet, no. I want to. I like that movie.

I've never seen it, I don't think. This is a Scott and Paul Hasn't Seen? You could be on the episode. And that, I've never been on that show and I have no desire to. There's no Paul Hasn't Seen or Paul Has Seen. No, we haven't had room for Paul. We've had too many great guests like Santa Claus.

Okay. I think that kid in that movie was very good wasn't he that's what I was thinking I was like who's that Dustin Hoffman yeah he's a cool little kid who gets divorced from Meryl Streep Dustin Hoffman slapped Meryl Streep like like Scott's gonna scream, don't tell me another thing about it. I'm gonna watch that for my podcast. La la la, I'm not listening. If you feel like slapping someone in a scene, should you be able to?

No. Oh, that kid went on to do a bunch of, so this is a, what? What? This is so funny, cause I was watching a movie today on the airplane. He's Newt Gingrich. Going, who is that kid? Who is that kid?

He's from Kramer vs Kramer. I was watching 16 Candles. He's also in Kramer vs Kramer. And I almost Googled him, but I was on the plane, so I couldn't, I never pay for wifi on the plane. I use it with my time off. It should be included in planes. It should be included.

16 Candles? It should be at this time because now it's like $20. You're like, what's my addiction that I need to pay $20 to go online? You know, I can't do it. Well, also, it's the chasm between people who can afford it and can't is so vast. It's not like it's a thing of like,

hey, $5, you can have Wi-Fi. It's a, now it's a $30 thing for the flight. Yeah, it's ridiculous. They should make it cheaper, because then everyone would do it and they get more money. I feel like hotels, it's gotten cheaper or free now. Yeah, because it used to be like, oh, well, if you plug your actual computer in, it's free.

But a Wi-Fi? That's technology that costs so much money. I think it's so rude to make Wi-Fi cost something in a hotel. That's just just really well Also, there should be free Wi-Fi across all cities as well Wi-Fi should be free everywhere. There there are certain I thought Santa San Francisco rather had that for a while where it's like free Wi-Fi across the entire city and they were like the infrastructure was like that Yeah, it's a great idea because it's like

the infrastructure was like that. And it's a great idea because it's like, everyone needs it now. And so there shouldn't be, you know, a barrier for people who have less money to be online. Well, I think we should have to pay for everything because it's the market, the free market. And if you're in the People's Republic of California, then go right ahead.

But I like to pay for things If I get sick, I want to rack up thousands and thousands of dollars I just pictured this being the quote on the freedom tweet And there's no context With no inflection no parenthetical kidding. Yeah Sarcasm fun doing funny voice of an idiot. Oh I'm sorry. I don't think that was your real voice idiot. Oh no, Paul. You think your character's not an idiot I don't think my character's an idiot. We just my characters all have the highest intelligence Exactly we can disagree, but I'm not going to insult them

And we're just talking about things we would do. Listen, pretzel gang, I'm flying tomorrow. Janie and I are flying to South Carolina. Uh-oh. And it's a little scary. Because you don't believe...

The plane is one of the safer places. I've flown like a bunch this month after not ever doing it for the whole pandemic. And I feel actually okay about that experience. You're not hearing a lot about people getting sick on planes. Mainly because they kick off all the masky weirdos who are like, I'm wearing a thong instead of a hat. Oh my God, I watched the most fucking annoying man yesterday,

or wait, this was a couple days ago. Please don't be me, please don't be me, please don't be me. It's me, isn't it? Oh, please don't be me. So his name was Scott Paul. Jake Paul. This guy, so like everyone in the airport is wearing a mask, except for some people will pull it down just to be annoying, I think.

Like if you're eating, it's fine. But there's people who are just clearly trying to not wear it. Yeah. But whatever, once you're on the plane, it's enforced. So but it's also suggested in the airport and desired by most people because there's a billion people walking around with their COVID asses. But, um, this guy, uh, of course, he was one of yours guys. He was a 50 year old white guy. I would say. The best people. I didn't know what was coming.

He, he came up. So the whole line is there and he kind of he comes up and he's he's not wearing a mask. He's already being an asshole. He walks up behind a woman who's like kind of blocking his way, but he could totally go otherwise. He's like, excuse me. So she has to like move out of the way. And he has no mask. He's right on her face. And then he does like a couple of things like that. And everyone's kind of like, who the fuck is this guy?

There's a couple of comments like, oh, what's his fucking deal? And then he gets to the what's his, he cuts in line at a certain point, but he's trying to be polite. Oh no, you go ahead. But he's like, do a big show about how he's, you know, he's not wearing a mask. It's like, it's very clear that you're doing something that you're trying to make some sort of point.

He gets to the front and then the woman checking in the tickets is like, sir, do you have a mask? And he was like, hmm? And she's like, a mask? And she points at her mask and he's like, oh, oh yeah, yeah, I do. And he, he touched his pockets and then he finds it and then he puts it on. And I'm like behind him going like, I want to, I want to just go like, that was a really great performance, man.

I almost thought you didn't know about the mask stuff. That was really good. Oh my God. And so then I'm like, I'm sure I'm going to be seated right by this fucking guy. And then on the plane he is behind me in the seat and he. Has it on for most of the flight, I checked in a couple of times to see, like, is it going to be annoying? But how did you check in? Yeah, I just turn around.

Oh, you did not into it. He couldn't tell. He never saw me and I was like, I was kind of like, I'm looking over the crowd or I'm doing like something. Well, was he directly behind you? Yeah, but kiddie corner, but in the same row. Yeah. We all do this on airplanes, check out the entire crowd. I had to look at his dumb ass

and he was always looking down anyway, his phone or whatever, so it was fine. But he at the end took it off while we were all still on the plane. And it's one of those things where I'm like, I just want to fight you. You're making me want to fight you because you'm like, I just want to fight you. You're making me want to fight you because you're caught, you clearly want to fight people.

Like you want to have a problem. And it also was one of those things, he had a big giant zit on his face and I wanted to go, you know, we wouldn't have to see the zit if you put the mask on. Like you have a perfect out for this fucking zit you're dealing with. But anyway, I just was so annoyed.

I'm like, I hate people who are trying to make a point with it. It's like, just do it for, it's the same as taking your shoes off. But someone say, someone say you're trying to make the point by wearing it. I'm just trying to get to my next destination. But the final destination, the shoe thing, though, I feel like I've seen things online where people will say that people did protest taking their shoes off in the same way people are protesting masks. Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah. I saw at least one picture of that. Um, but, but it's,

it's like everyone does that and that's even dumber. Man, that was so, uh, before we got TSA pre, like that was, it was so demoralizing because I feel like I was traveling so much at that time when they did the shoe bag. You're sitting around in your stocking feet. It was like taking my belt off and taking my shoes off and it just felt like- You never take your belt off before? Huh?

You didn't have to take your belt off before? No, I wear it all day long. I sleep in it. He's not a beltless individual, Lauren. Before that incident, you didn't have to take your belt off. Before 9-11, I don't remember having to take my belt off before. When you flew, all you had to do was walk through the metal detector. That was it.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it was like. Why are belts a thing? Because it shows up as like something's on your waist. Autoerotic asphyxiation. Don't do it in the bathroom. Yeah, they're like, hey, you can't jerk yourself off something's on your waist. Autoerotic asphyxiation. Don't do it in the bathroom. Yeah, they're like, hey, you can't jerk yourself off

to death on our flight. You can't jerk yourself off to death when you walk through this line. I can't. Go and do it on the airplane, all you want. Nice try. Take that belt off. You're not the first Michael Hutchins we've had

come through here. I, it was also a time where it felt like it was just tense, like the TSA people. Right. Well, it's scary. Everybody was tense. It was scary, but it was also like, I don't know, like there was, there was a rudeness, there was a dehumanizing aspect to it where the TSA people were treating you. I guess that they were instructed to treat you that way. That it was very like, it wasn't, it wasn't please and thank you. You know, it was not, it was not like human to human contact. It was like,

Anytime I would go into the airport, it felt like I was at the receiving end of their irritation for months at that point. And it was my first time in the airport and they would be like, God, it's been five months of me having to yell at assholes like you, you know, who don't know what you're doing. And it's like, this is my first, I don't know what I'm doing because you haven't instructed me kind person. Yeah.

It was a drag. It was, but at least now everything's cool and good. I like how everything's- It's very cool and good. I think things are great. I love the way things are now and- I like how everything is very cool and good. I think things are great. I love the way things are now and I like it stay here. I like now. I hope we stay here for a while. Yeah, I agree. This is great. I don't want it to be tomorrow. Not yet at least. Yeah, just be in the

now. It should be now. What was the what was the eagle eye cherry cherry save today? Tonight I thought it was stayed tonight. Oh, I remember my arm hurts. I got my booster. I Just remembered my arm Did you get it you got it today? Yeah four hours ago and you forgot you forgot already Why is my arm sore? I did forget, but I'm still in the moment with you guys. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. And that's what we want to say to all of the people out there is like, be in the moment this year, guys.

Yeah, great advice. It can be so tempting to be like, oh, I'm worried about one minute from now. Or remember that thing I did one minute ago that was so embarrassing? It's like, no, it's now. It's not a minute ago. Don't get dragged into the quagmire of one minute ago and don't future trip about one

minute from now. Yeah. Don't you wish you could forget something embarrassing you did one minute ago? Yeah. I know we've talked about this. If you could forget something, you would, right? Most things, yes. Yeah, I forget a lot of things, people, places, yeah.

Oh, I would jettison a lot out of my brain. Oh my God, eternal sun shining, I got a couple. I'd love to do that. Wouldn't you? What about you? Scott, wouldn't you? I think so, yeah. I mean, there's certain things that pop up that I'm... But here's the thing. If you forget about those things... You might relive them.

Or you might relive them, or it might chip away at the person that you are now, because you've forgotten that experience. Like I'd be even cooler? Yeah, that's true. Sounds good to me. If something bad happened to you that you wanted to forget, then if you did forget it, then you might not have empathy towards people who experienced that bad thing or something. I sometimes wonder, like, if I hadn't had the experiences that I had when I was younger,

would I have ended up in comedy? I know. I know. You know what I mean? I think it's better. Like if you had to relive your life, you should just do a totally different one. I don't think I want to forget anything. I wouldn't want to forget anything. I mean, there are things I would forget. I want to forget, I guess, but I wouldn't want to forget anything from childhood. Cause I feel like, yeah, that shapes you.

But then there's a couple adult things that I'd be like, it'd be great to not have experienced that or not remember. I'm sure there are some things in people's childhoods that they'd like to forget. No, I'm saying my own. I don't have anything so tragic that happened to my childhood. But in my older years. Yeah, you were a babysitter.

Now you're a movie star. Well, there were unpleasant and bad experiences. And your parents paid for your entire college experience. You got $75 a week. For my grandma, not my parents. Which paid your rent. For my dead grandma. I'm just saying, my stuff is more focused in my 20s and 30s.

And I did, by the way, I did work the entire time I was in college as well. Do you know what? You're great. So many apologies, you're fine. You just brought that up. Everyone has a different one. Trying to drag me down.

I told you, I worked at Dean Witter, I worked at Baker Square, we've gone through all of them. Wait, what was Dean Witter? Was Dean Witter a restaurant? Don't ask him. Dean Witter's the investment firm. Right. I worked with Bill Murray's brother.

I understand, of course, people have bad things happen in their childhood. Lauren, I also, I would... You knew what I meant. Yes, I would keep my, the unpleasant childhood stuff over the stuff in my, in my twenties and thirties. Yeah, it's, it's your choice. So Scott, do you want to get rid of your childhood stuff or your twenties and thirties stuff? But the things in my twenties and and 30s were all my fault. Mine weren't.

I barely remember anything in my childhood other than just random snatches every once in a while. Random snatch. Oh, no, that was my 20s. I just remember those random snatch. So you don't remember your childhood? No, I remember certain things from it but yeah I don't know. Oh guys I had a crazy dream last night.

Oh. Do we want to talk about this? I can't wait to hear it. It's about- Is it time for the segment Dream Depot? Is it about us? No it was not about you. Let's take it. It was about someone we know.

Let me do the intro to Dream Depot. Okay go ahead. Well folks it's about that time that the Freedom Train's gotta take a little stop at the Dream Depot. Oh, wait, hold on a second. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Where is it? Goddamn it. Paul is just screaming. It's time to take a little a little stop at the Dream Depot. Hi guys.

Welcome to Dream Depot. Okay. So I'm not going to say who it was, but I'll tell you guys later. Well, that's going to help inform the dream. Can you tell us now and we'll cut that? No. Put it in the chat. I will put it in the chat. But it's a person that I saw last night for the

first time in a while. So this is why they were on. I'll say she because that's Jermaine to the story. You saw Jermaine? I saw Jermaine Jackson. And I was like, where's your brother? And I was like, where's your brother? Okay. We have the name. Okay. So I saw this person and it was this thing where we were working on an award show. I remember in Tall John was the head writer. And I know this because like they got the, they got the ratings immediately.

They got the ratings immediately. The award show. Of the award show and came over and told us, well, yeah, there was a little slippage, you know, from last year, but actually you guys did a really good job and it seemed like we retained a lot or, you know, whatever. And then I turned to this person and she's like, well, that's good. Can I go have my baby now?

And it turned out she was pregnant. And so we were like leaving the shrine or wherever the award show was. And I'm like about to part company with her. And she goes, oh, but don't you wanna see me give birth? And I was like, oh, okay. So I go to her house where she's, or she's already to give birth.

And then they like open up a flap in the stomach and like, like part it like this. Like it's two saloon doors in a, in a old Western town. And there's an eight year old inside. And I'm like, wait, was this baby in you for eight years? And it was like, no, the baby has been outside, but we thought it needed a little more time inside to develop.

So we put it back in and now it's all ready. And then they pulled it out of the stomach and then, uh, yeah. And it was eight years. I don't know. Also, it means I saw this person last night for the first time in a long time. But yeah, but there's a lot of metaphor that I could lay on to it. Do you think you're that eight year old baby? Who Lauren is?

Yeah. No, this is a question for the room. For the tape. Do you think you're that eight-year-old baby? Me? Who Lauren is? Yeah. Do you think you're that? No, this is a question for the room. For the tape. What do you think the metaphor is, Lauren? I think two things. One, it could be you thinking about, you know, your plans for your family and the things, and maybe you've been thinking about this for a long time,

so it feels like a eight-year-old child. Or it could be that you want to see a little kid burst out of jail. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! That could be. There's Joe Rogan, everybody. Joe Rogan.

It was Joe Rogan. Anyway. You saw Joe for the first time in a long time. How did you feel when you woke up? Well, it was one of those dreams. Well, first of all, okay, it was also, I saw this person at a party and we had, you know how you have very vivid dreams

when you drink quite a bit, you know what I mean? And it's like, you know how you have very vivid dreams when you drink quite a bit, you know what I mean? And it's like you're not sleeping all that well because you're sort of like gonna be hung over and you're dehydrated or whatever and yet you're having these vivid dreams that you remember. It was like the first thing that I thought of when I woke up and I was like, oh, that was weird. But it all made sense, of course, when you're in it at the time of like, oh, yes, of course. Well, if a, if a, if a person is, is not developing correctly, put them back in the womb. Yeah.

You don't want to, cause Scott, you don't want to see my saloon flaps open and then your old child come out. And you don't want them to be outside when they're not ready. Yeah, exactly. So anyway, put them back in. About time we got Mosie along. Glad we could stop at Dream Depot. That's a really nice whistle.

Thank you. Now, what's the story about that whistle? I wanted to get one. A great story, but there's probably more to it. Great. I was thinking it might come in handy for a live show or something. I love it. Thank you.

I love it. I think it would be good. Thanks. I think it would be good on Christmas Eve. When my family is listening to the Polar Express, toot toot. When they're listening to it? Your family listens to the Polar Express? We listened to an audio tape, well now we've found it on YouTube.

Because it was a book first, right? Yeah, but there's an audio cassette that we listened to on Christmas Eve that was read by William Hurt, the Polar Express children's book, read by William Hurt. The warmest person I can think of. I think that is whose voice it was, yeah. I know it's great, it's great, but then there's only a Liam Neeson version now and it's not as good. Really, I would think his voice would be more

fun to listen to. You're going to be taken. Yeah, no, it is on YouTube with the William Hurt version. If anyone wants to do that in their life. It's a really sweet story when read aloud. And now Holly's gonna hear it for the first time. Oh, I love it. So excited. It's her first Christmas.

Of course, this is the new year for her. Of course, it was her first Christmas. Of course, it was her first Christmas. It's the day we're recording this, the day you're listening to it. We're recording it right next to you. That's what we do every time. It's live, it's a call in.

Hello? Yes, hi, Freedom, you're on the air. Oh, sorry, I didn't. Hello, is this Freedom? I'll let Paul take this one. Lauren, I'm talking to someone, hang up. Yeah, is this Freedom? Click.

Yeah, this is Freedom. Yeah, this is Rochester. Hi, this is Rochester. Hi Rochester. You're in Rochester or your name is Rochester Rochester. Okay. Yeah. Are you in Rochester? Your name is Rochester. Rochester. Rochester Rochester Rochester. Yeah. What's up? Oh, no, you call us. Papa boy. Oh, he's fucking got it Ah, he fucking got us.

Man, he got us. Ross Chester. What does that make you think of, Lauren? Nothing. Did you guys have any? I know we left Dream Depot, but do you have any dreams? I have dreams all the time.

And I had a dream last night, but sometimes I don't quite remember them when I wake up, but I know the feeling. And I too tend to have a lot of dreams that are nightmares about a certain person. Not me. No. But I won't get into it here, but...

Ah. Hmm. No. Hmm. But I won't get into it here, but...... ... Ah! I have like really stressful nightmares. Guess what I guessed. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Yeah, they're bad.

I feel like my dreams have gotten weirder in the last couple years. I don't know if it's because of quarantine, just because of how weird everything is, but I feel like they've gotten especially weird. And to the point where I sort of, I remember them much later, like just parts of them, as if they were like memories of life

instead of memories of a dream. Do you know what I mean? Well, it's like you've dreamed everything that you've already dreamed already, so you're dreaming new things. Sorry, what? Lauren, it makes perfect sense. You've dreamed everything

that you've already dreamed already, so you're dreaming new things. Everything I've already dreamed already, so now I'm finally dreaming new things. Yes. Okay. Okay. Okay. I dreamed, I already dreamed up my allotted dreams. And now I'm in like overtime.

Yes, you're in OT. Now this is where it gets into money. This is where it's like, okay, here we go. We're working overtime. I still, by the way, you know, the dreams I've had about the house that I, the two houses that I'm always in, I still haven't those.

Still haven't those all the time. You still have those dreams. Yeah. That's so odd. Wow. Still haven't those. But I don't think you're the only one. I think Jacqueline Novak, I want to say,

had this discussion on POOG podcast I enjoy. POOG? About say, had this discussion on POOG, podcast I enjoy, about her POOG. Oh, it's Goop backwards for fun. What's POO spelled backwards? It's Caper Lant and Jacqueline Novak. Oop, is what you're trying to say. And I oop. Anyways, I think she has had dreams like that

where she's walking, she's in the same house over and over again. I will say the one that I- What if it's the same house that Scott's in? It could be. Could be, oh man, I'll look for her. That's a show. Wow. Yeah.

I'll look for her. It's been upgraded now to where it's- It's been upgraded? It's been upgraded to where it looks like. Buz, buz, buz, buz, buz, bu like. It's in a really nice area now, which is great. Oh, nice. It's like in a really nice part of town and it's right on the water.

You're moving on up George Jefferson. So that's not bad. But I'm not able- That's not bad at all. It's not bad. Not able to sell it though. You're trying to sell it? I'm usually trying to sell it lately.

God, dude, dreams are like... Oh, so that's kind of a new wrinkle. Yeah. It's like I'm, it's a house that I'm trying to get rid of. And I'm like showing it off usually, and I'm like, oh gosh, this is messy. Oh, and this room obviously is a problem. You know, there's only stairs,

or there's only like a rope ladder to get to this room, unfortunately, you know, stuff like that. Oh, that kind of thing. But you can work around this right that kind of thing I'm sorry I'm so sorry that happened to you guys I really appreciate your support in this terrible time I haven't had a recurring dream I used to have a recurring dream when I was a kid it was like a recurring nightmare that was like a straight-up like a dream nightmare. That was like a straight up, a dream about a monster, you know what I mean?

And I can't, I had it like, I feel like I had it almost a full week every night I had the same dream. And then it never happened again and I never had a recurring dream since. Oh my God, I remember when I was, I think I must've been 12, 11 or 12, I had the scariest dream where I woke up

and was just terrified. And I went into my mom's bedroom and I was like, I'm so- Oh thank God you said bedroom. I went back into her stomach. I was like, I need to chill it here for a while. And that's why you thought about that. Oh, that's right.

I never put that together for her. No, I went, I had to have been 10 or something. And I went into her room and I was like terrified. And I was just shaking and I'm like, I had the worst dream. She's like, oh, okay, come sleep with me. And we had a church picnic the next day because there was a Labor Day picnic every year. And my mom told that story to like some people at the church. And I was mortified and just embarrassed because I was too.

I was too old. Very embarrassing. Yeah. And I was like, why would you tell them that? Because like, you know, why would she? It's very weird. I don't know. Well, she probably was a little pussy who came back to bed last night because he had a scary dream and his made up head. Maybe she'd heard that people talking about their dreams is boring.

She was like, I'm going to talk about his dreams. That will be more interesting for sure. Did you find Dream Depot boring, Paul? I never do. I look, I'm one of the people, I like to hear people's dreams. If they have a weird dream, I like to hear it. It's like, they're not all,

just because it's a dream doesn't make it uninteresting. No, that's true. I think we've kind of across the board, we've started to say like that people should never tell their dreams because of that. Like it's kind of become this thing of like, you should literally never say that you had a dream. Yeah.

I mean, that's the very foundation that Dream Depot was based upon. I tell you what. We wouldn't have Dream Depot if we didn't have dreams. If dreams didn't exist, there would be no Dream Depot. I think my rest of my case. If dreams didn't exist, there would be no dream depot. I think my rest my case. If dreams didn't exist, there'd be no dream depot, which means thusly you would never have bought

that train whistle, which you never would be able to use and no one would have ever invented trains. If I didn't have this train whistle, dream depot never would have happened. Yes. Thank you. But I think that, yeah, I think it's become a thing I would rather hear somebody describe even a boring dream than somebody tell me something in a really exciting thing that happened in real life

I don't want to hear anything You're right my mind I would rather have somebody describe a dull dream to me than tell me what they thought something said when they first looked at it. I hate that one. That to me is like, that's just in your head. That's not, that's only amusing to you. It didn't mean anything to me when you told me that's what you thought it said.

It doesn't say that. I've had that experience where I thought something said something it didn't say and then it was amusing to me. It's not amusing to anyone else. I know it's not. I will say when someone mishears me and repeats back what they heard and they're laughing, I just go, yeah, that's what I said. Yeah. They just think I said a different. I think you, if they think I said like a different joke

that I said, but it's like actually better than what I said. And I'm like, yeah. Oh, well sure. Oh, I thought you meant anytime someone mishears you. Repeating and I'm like, that wasn't exactly it, but that's fine. I dated a woman who was really upset There we go. at her ex-boyfriend who would read every, every billboard that they ever passed when they were driving. That's so annoying.

That's like a disorder. Just like, because it was so boring and just trying to fill the time just like. Yeah. Oh my God. Get a personality. Are you talking to me? Yeah. Thank God.

No, but like the billboards because you're so bored. Like just think of something to talk about or don't talk. Just shut up. It's when people are that uncomfortable with silence. It's very, um, it's, it's, it's hard to deal with. I bet he wishes that they had podcasts whenever that happened. Right. You know what I was thinking?

Oh, you're uncomfortable with silence. It is really sad. It's just so sad. Silence is during a recording This is so sad. So many uncomfortable silences during a recording. It's weird. I was thinking today as I was listening to Doughboys, I'm so happy that all of our funny friends have podcasts because people get to hear how funny they are and they get to like, I just love that.

There's a whole trend right now with like extremely rich celebrities having podcasts. That doesn't interest me as much, but I do like how people that would just be performing at a theater. And extremely rich ex babysitters. I'm not extremely rich and you are, so be quiet. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha ha. He mouths no one not. You're the last guy who should be joking about that. But I'm dead up to my eyeballs guys. Can't you do eight more seasons of this show? Guys the reason I keep dreaming of playing that house in my dream is because I really got to make some money on that house in my dream. Anyways whatever fuck it.

I was trying to give a compliment to the world. I was trying to say it's nice. It's nice it's big it's round. I tend to listen to podcasts that are hosted by people I know and I love trying to give a compliment to the world. I was trying to say, it's nice. It's nice, it's big, it's round. I tend to listen to podcasts that are hosted by people I know and I love listening to them because I feel like we're hanging out. But then I was thinking about how nice it is that people get to experience everyone's personality

and how funny they are. Like the Doughboys are so funny together and they have such a huge following and they have so many listeners. And it's just really nice. It is so funny to me the way Mitch is on that podcast, because my experience with him before I started listening to that was always, he was always very meek with me

and very like, really deferential. Like definitely, yeah. But I didn't realize that. I thought that was just his personality. Then I hear him tearing into Nick Weigert on that show. I'm like, oh, okay, I get this now. Yeah. Well, yeah, you should hear Paul's actual personality

when he's off mic. He's so meek and he's so like, please, thank you, sir. Thank you, may I turn on my mic now, sir? Paul's like- I'm very shy. We actually edit out what he does between everything. He says, he goes, am I allowed to speak now? May I? We have to edit.

And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. He says that 80 times a show. Anyway, have you ever heard that thing? And then he- I know it's a pain for the editors yeah, yeah. He says that 80 times a shelf. Anyway, have you ever heard that thing? I know it's a pain for the editors and I know it's hard for them to catch every one. We just had to do one right then. Can I keep talking? Okay, I'm not editing that one out.

RIP both the character and the actor. That doesn't happen a lot. No. Usually a character lives on when a movie's done. Exactly, if the actor dies, but the character doesn't die in the movie, the character is still alive. Yeah.

And more movies should end with every character dying so that it equals out. Just to be safe, yes. Yeah, but unfortunately most actors die before characters do. Yeah. Yeah. Lauren?

I feel no, they they are. But it's not like you would see somebody in something else. Oh, my God. He was the middle of human centipede. Oh, my God. I don't know anything about it.

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.

I'm Lupita Nyong'o. My new podcast, Mind Your Own, is a storytelling show that navigates what it means to belong, all from the African perspective. We're going beyond the headlines to dive into nuanced, intimate stories from Africans around the world. I'm so excited to bring this show to you. Listen to Mind Your Own on Apple Podcasts,

Amazon Music, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
