WEBVTT - Busy Philipps Meets World 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:24.960 I dropped Indy off at school this morning, and uh, 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.639 on the way home, I was like, I am so 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.639 happy right now, Like I'm so excited for the day 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.919 and I'm feeling all fulfilled, and I'm like, what is it? 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:34.400 Why? 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:37.280 Why am I feeling so good? And then I realized 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:42.479 it's because it's raining. I love it. And have you 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.640 guys heard of seasonal effective disorder? 0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.599 Sure, the opposite, I have the opposite, right, Okay, you 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:49.159 have happy? 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.720 Right?

And I'm curious how you guys feel 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.840 about it. Is that like just intrinsic to me that 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.400 I just like cold weather and rain? Or is it 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.880 purely contextual? And if I lived in Seattle, Yeah, and 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.759 I was there for like a month, I'd be miserable. 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.040 You think it's purely I did? 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:23.759 Yeah? 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.480 Whatever, you whatever, you constantly have all the time you want, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.560 anytime it changes, it's good, right, So I feel the 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.360 same way where I hear it ray like there's nothing 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.640 like you wake up in the morning here you hear 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.720 the rain on your rat You're still curled up in bed. 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.320 It's like, oh, this is going to be a magical day. 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.080 But it's also like if you know you're having a 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.480 storm that weekend, and then for just that weekend, you 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:48.760 change your plans. We're not going to go out, We're 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.480 going to stay in fires hot cocoa. Let's order in 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:58.400 some food every if every day for months on end, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.160 you have to go out in the rain, work in 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.160 the rain, see your friends in the rain. Like your 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.200 clothes are always wet, You've got to take a hat 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.000 and your gloves. 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.519 It's like you would just be over it, Okay. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.840 But then if that's the case, which I pretty much agree, 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.080 then shouldn't the goal for all of us humans be 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.600 to find its variety and seasons? 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:18.840 Right? 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.720 Like shouldn't we want to live places where they're not 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.000 too extreme? 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:25.000 But that's just. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:28.920 And it never lasts more than like two months in 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.520 one road, right because what ends up happening? 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:32.800 Right, Like everyone in the East. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.239 Coast wants to live in Florida or Phoenix or La 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.720 right because they're like especially as they get older. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:39.120 It's like that's where everyone retires. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.600 And I think that's the wrong impulse because then you're 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.240 just going somewhere where it's just always hot, always sunny. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.800 So I was just in Connecticut last week, and Sue 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.280 was back in Massachusetts, and we always talk about, like 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.000 when we're back there for a very short amount of time, 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.920 we're like, man, you know, living here, I could definitely 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:59.760 leave LA and just come. And then we go for 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.320 this same week sometimes in August, and the bugs are 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.000 insane and the humidity is awful, and they're like, okay, 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:07.760 so I wouldn't want to do the summers. And then 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.880 we go in the winter and we're like, oh my god, 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.160 it's cold and awesome. And by day four, where all 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:14.600 the snow is gray and it's on everything and you're 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.720 stamping stuff out, you're like, well, I don't want to 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:18.600 be here in the winter either, So then you kind 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:19.880 of go that doesn't think it. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.639 Just like spring and spring and spring like spring. 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.799 But the question we literally did this. 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.120 We went on and we were like trying to find 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.920 the place of the happy medium, and what we kind 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.040 of found is certain parts. 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.520 Believe it or not, of Colorado that are. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.200 Not you're not in the mountains and you're not in 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:40.800 the lower parts of Colorado, but kind of in the 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.720 middle right there.

Whether it's the auditions, 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.359 the heartbreak, the friendships, the rapid fire fame. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.280 Or the supposed big breaks that. 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.520 Were canceled during season one, they are all topics we 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.439 hope to address with honesty and humor on the podcast, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.200 but very little of us have done it as well 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.000 or effortlessly as this week's guest. Before she became the 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.480 multi hyphen a force she is now, she was also 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.880 one of those kids hustling between sets, memorizing lines in 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.920 the car, and navigating an industry that didn't exactly hand 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.640 out survival guides from Freaks and Geeks to Dawson's Creek. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.920 As a young adult, she was part of shows that 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.439 helped define a generation. She's one of those rare people 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.240 who can make you laugh, make you think, and make 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.760 you feel slightly better about the absolute chaos of your 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.600 own youth. Because she has been extremely open about hers, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.560 we love a guest who's lived it, learned from it, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.080 and isn't afraid to give you the whole story.

And I literally talk to 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:11.840 everybody about it. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:12.440 At some point. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.480 It comes up like underrated movies that people need to see. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:20.520 You've got to see The Gift. Writer will walk us 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.360 through this, okay. 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:24.640 It's a really great movie about a guy who was 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.400 bullied or not treated very well as a kid who 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.720 comes back into this kind of family's life. 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.920 And Hall and Jason Bateman right correct, and it's kind 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.199 of a dream team. It's a thriller, but that's also 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.760 got some comedy in it. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.760 But it is. It's just good. 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:48.160 It's riveting, and it's criminally underrated and nobody knows about it. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.280 And I'm always like, you have to see The Gift. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:54.880 So anyway it I know, it feels like a real shame. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.040 It is, but I think it was like one of 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.480 those times in my life where I had very small children. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.240 I mean, I know it was okay, I had like 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:08.560 like Cricket was still like a baby basically, and and 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.120 I was filming Cougartown I think at the same. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.679 Time, and things going on. 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.240 I did and like, and so I couldn't go to 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:19.080 the premiere of it. And then, you know, I don't 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:22.600 know about you guys as performers as actors, but I 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:24.840 do find it a little strange sometimes to like just 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.040 I'm gonna sit down and watch myself. So I never 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:32.800 really saw the movie.
