Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central show.
Speaker 2: From the most trusted journalists at Comedy.
Speaker 3: Central's America's only source for news.
Speaker 2: This is The Daily Show with your host Daisy Line.
Speaker 2: Let them to the Daily Show. I'm just lightning. We've
Speaker 2: got so much to talk about tonight. Trump's tariffs are off,
Speaker 2: but they're on again. But they're also off, So who
Speaker 2: fucking cares. Let's get into it with another installment of
Speaker 2: trade wars. My favorite word, my favorite word, caraffs. Last Wednesday,
Speaker 2: Donald Trump announced that in one week he was going
Speaker 2: to impose the biggest increase in tariffs in one hundred years.
Speaker 2: And after a week of panic buying a year's supply
Speaker 2: of toilet paper and air fryers, the day has finally arrived.
Speaker 2: It is eleven fifty nine and forty eight seconds, which
Speaker 2: means we are just moments away from the President's new tariffs.
Speaker 1: It's President Drump's long awaited tariff Day.
Speaker 2: It's reciprocal tariff Day. While the tariffs are here all right.
Speaker 3: It is tariff Day.
Speaker 2: Happy tariff Day, everyone, whoa It's what Trump is replacing
Speaker 2: Juneteenth with. Now Trump is celebrated by putting tariffs on
Speaker 2: every country in the world, including one hundred and four
Speaker 2: percent on products made in China, which is probably fine.
Speaker 2: I mean, how many products are made in China. The
Speaker 2: tariff Day wasn't just celebrated here in America. Other countries
Speaker 2: got in on the fund too swift retaliation.
Speaker 4: Both China and the European Union are responding to President
Speaker 4: Trump's tariffs.
Speaker 5: China has announced its own.
Speaker 2: Retaliatory tariffs eighty four percent on all Lewis goods and imports.
Speaker 1: According to the European Union, all mends, orange juice, poultry, soybeans,
Speaker 1: steel and aluminum products, tobacco, and yachts imported from the
Speaker 1: United States. Now we'll have a twenty five percent levy on.
Speaker 2: Them, percent on yachts. Why don't these trade wars always
Speaker 2: have to screw over the little guy. I'll be honest,
Speaker 2: I didn't even know America made yachts. I thought the
Speaker 2: only thing we made here was Nepo babies. But this
Speaker 2: really feels like it's spiraling out of control. It seems
Speaker 2: like the smart move is to back off this whole thing,
Speaker 2: but Trump's team has been adamant that they will stay
Speaker 2: the course. This is not a negotiation. It's not the
Speaker 2: kind of thing you can negotiate away.
Speaker 5: I don't think there's any chance going to that.
Speaker 3: President Trump's kind of back.
Speaker 5: Off his tariffs.
Speaker 2: President made it clear yesterday this is not a negotiation,
Speaker 2: and Trump posted this morning, my policies will never change.
Speaker 2: Well that's it. Then they're in it to win it,
Speaker 2: full speed ahead from the window to the walls. Skate
Speaker 2: Street Street, Mothers. Trump's policy will never ever change.
Speaker 5: This is CNN breaking news.
Speaker 4: The President announced it just minutes ago that he's now
Speaker 4: quote authorized a ninety day pause on some of his
Speaker 4: new teriffs.
Speaker 2: What the trade war's over? But it's tariff day. I
Speaker 2: shaved my legs for this. Now I have to grow
Speaker 2: it all back. But hey, at least we can buy
Speaker 2: things from China again, right, I mean Amazon Prime here
Speaker 2: I come.
Speaker 4: Notably, though, the President is raising the tariff applied to
Speaker 4: China from the United States to one hundred and twenty
Speaker 4: five percent, effective immediately, So this pause applies to other countries,
Speaker 4: not China.
Speaker 2: Hey, Siri, cancel one thousand air fryers. Trump, I don't
Speaker 2: understand what happened here. You tanked global stock markets, You
Speaker 2: put us on the verge of a recession. You told
Speaker 2: everyone to build factories in America because the tariffs wouldn't
Speaker 2: go away, and then you took them away. What happened?
Speaker 2: Did you just get spooked by the markets? The ninety
Speaker 2: day poll, it's one of there was amparatives. Is that
Speaker 2: because of the windlass that we were seeing across the
Speaker 2: financial market.
Speaker 3: Now, look, this was his strategy along.
Speaker 5: An absolutely brilliant.
Speaker 6: Move, brilliant not only economically, politically, and it was good
Speaker 6: for the American worker.
Speaker 2: He's a negotiator in chief.
Speaker 5: He's landing the plane. It's the Master of the Deal.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're watching the art of the deal in
Speaker 3: real time here.
Speaker 2: Many of you in the media clearly missed the art
Speaker 2: of the deal. Uh yes, the art of the deal.
Speaker 2: Create a global crisis and then dig yourself halfway out.
Speaker 2: It's truly aster for Donald. I'm starting to think that
Speaker 2: the art of the deal is art in the way
Speaker 2: that Jackson Pollock is art. Like it looks like someone
Speaker 2: just threw a bunch of shit at the wall. But
Speaker 2: now I have to pretend like it's genius and it's
Speaker 2: gonna cost millions of dollars. Come at me, abstract expressionism, hive,
Speaker 2: You know I'm right come on, Trump, just admit that
Speaker 2: you started a game of chicken and you got too
Speaker 2: scared to finish it.
Speaker 7: Well, I thought that people were jumping a little bit
Speaker 7: out of line.
Speaker 8: They were getting yippy.
Speaker 2: You know, they're getting a little bit hippy, a little
Speaker 2: bit afraid. Oh okay, it's our fault. We got too scared. Sorry.
Speaker 2: I tend to get a little yippy when my retirement
Speaker 2: plan starts to look like the elevator from the shining,
Speaker 2: straight down and heavy flow. I'm sorry. I don't mean
Speaker 2: to be dramatic, but this is the worst tariff day ever.
Speaker 2: This whole trade war was launched on incoherent arguments. You
Speaker 2: stuck to your guns for incoherent reasons, and now you're
Speaker 2: pulling back for incoherent reasons. Is there anything you can
Speaker 2: say that actually makes sense?
Speaker 9: Noah, the president would have done what I did.
Speaker 5: Noah the President, Well you got me there.
Speaker 2: I do agree with that, still, though, I just wish
Speaker 2: that someone could explain what the strategy is going forward
Speaker 2: with these tariffs. I mean, is there anyone who can
Speaker 2: tell me does he does he? High? I can tell you, hey, oh.
Speaker 7: Why oh my god, Olidia loone, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2: I may correspond on the Daily Show. I thought you
Speaker 2: left in twenty eleven.
Speaker 8: Oh oh no, you know how John comes in one
Speaker 8: day a week. Yeah, I have the same deal. It
Speaker 8: just I come in once every fourteen years.
Speaker 2: My dad will said Kata. Oh okay, I see. Well,
Speaker 2: i'd ask what you've been up to, but I have
Speaker 2: the Internet. That's fair. So break it down for us.
Speaker 2: What is Trump's strategy here with these tariffs. Everyone's scared.
Speaker 2: There's so much uncertainty, and there's no this is no
Speaker 2: way that you can actually run in a contomy busy,
Speaker 2: be cool. Okay.
Speaker 8: Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He put tariffs that
Speaker 8: destroyed the global economy, so then he took them off
Speaker 8: and now it's only mostly destroyed now. To avoid tariffs
Speaker 8: coming back, other countries will cut deals with US for
Speaker 8: better trade terms, and our deficit drops to zero.
Speaker 2: Problem solved. Okay, I see. And that's when we drop
Speaker 2: all the tariffs, no bitch.
Speaker 8: Then we hit them even harder, four hundred percent tariffs.
Speaker 8: We bomb their factories, We catch those penguins on that
Speaker 8: island and we eat them. Then the other countries will
Speaker 8: really come begging.
Speaker 5: We can get whatever we want, baby, I ken't.
Speaker 8: Furniture comes assemble, Honda cords, trunks full of Nike sneakers.
Speaker 8: We'll get to pee on their currency while they watch.
Speaker 8: Then we've won gross but fine, then the trade war ends. Yes,
Speaker 8: then it makes sense for the trade war to end.
Speaker 8: But psych, bitch, four billion percent terriffts.
Speaker 2: You're in our house now.
Speaker 8: The new iPhone three dollars, Nike sneakers comes with the
Speaker 8: Hondo cord. Then we pee on their currency. Again, they're
Speaker 8: not even watching. It's just the only way we can
Speaker 8: pee anymore.
Speaker 2: Olivia. Why how does any of this make up the
Speaker 2: trade deficit?
Speaker 8: Daisy, baby girl, It's not the trade deficit. This is
Speaker 8: all to make up for Donald Trump's enormous deficit of
Speaker 8: attention and love.
Speaker 2: He said as much last night.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, these countries are calling us up kissing
Speaker 3: my ass.
Speaker 8: They are dying to make it to you.
Speaker 2: Please, please make it.
Speaker 10: You see, he's just a boy standing in front of
Speaker 10: the world asking to have his ass kissed.
Speaker 8: And once the world fills the aching hole in his heart,
Speaker 8: the tariffs will end.
Speaker 2: But that will never happen. There's not enough attention in
Speaker 2: the world to make him feel like a human again. Exactly, bitch. Oh,
Speaker 2: now I get it. Wow, that was really enlightening. Thanks bitch.
Speaker 2: Who are you calling? Bitch?
Speaker 8: Oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I thought we were having
Speaker 8: a thing. Yeah, yeah, we're not.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, Well, thank you for your analysis. No problem.
Speaker 8: I'll see you in twenty thirty nine.
Speaker 5: Oh, Olivia, Olivia.
Speaker 2: Well be gone, Olivia. Mon everyone, when we come back,
Speaker 2: you'll find out what Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 2: Next week, scientists announced that they had produced three cubs
Speaker 2: with the DNA of the prehistoric dire wolf. Then two
Speaker 2: days later, a white woman tried to bring one on
Speaker 2: an airplane as her emotional support animal. But the question
Speaker 2: is what animal is next in line for de extinction?
Speaker 2: Troy Iwata found out climate change.
Speaker 3: It could kill us any day now if we're lucky.
Speaker 3: But one scientist has a solution. Meet doctor George Church.
Speaker 3: He knows exactly how to card climate change. And the
Speaker 3: answer is so simple.
Speaker 6: For engineering cold tolerance elements using DNA from ancient extinct
Speaker 6: wooly mammoths to help us with climate change.
Speaker 3: You're going to bring back the wooly mammoth something like
Speaker 3: that from the ice.
Speaker 6: Age around that Era.
Speaker 3: Yeah voice by Ray Ramono.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's the theme.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's good. So while some.
Speaker 3: Think they're doing their part with their electric cars, George
Speaker 3: and his company were making Jurassic Park a reality lost.
Speaker 10: This Bioscience is a genetic engineering firm working to resurrect
Speaker 10: the wooly mammoth.
Speaker 6: This process, we'll save animals on the brink of extinction
Speaker 6: that even improve the environment.
Speaker 3: You know, I never thought about the wooly mammoth angle.
Speaker 3: I almost feel stupid for not thinking about it because
Speaker 3: it was right there in front of me. I just
Speaker 3: have one silly question, how exactly is a wooly mammoth
Speaker 3: going to combat climate change? Are we going to provide
Speaker 3: them with a canvas tote and metal straws.
Speaker 6: There aren't that many solutions that address the gigantic amount
Speaker 6: of carbon that could be released in the form of
Speaker 6: methane from the Arctic. We're concerned about both keeping that
Speaker 6: carbon in the ground frozen, which means it would be
Speaker 6: nice to have cold resistant elephants stomp down the snow
Speaker 6: and allow the minus forty winter wind to come in
Speaker 6: and cool down the permafrost and knock down the trees
Speaker 6: and elephants are one of the few animals in the
Speaker 6: world that will knock down trees.
Speaker 3: Got it.
Speaker 6: They love knocking down trees.
Speaker 3: So a big part of this is about knocking down trees.
Speaker 6: And restoring the grasslands and the vibrant ecosystem that came
Speaker 6: along with right.
Speaker 3: Right, have you considered monster trucks. I feel like with
Speaker 3: the right combination of monster trucks, monster truck drivers, and meth,
Speaker 3: you could really knock down a lot of trees.
Speaker 6: We haven't discussed that yet. That's out of the box.
Speaker 3: Well, I am on board. Not because I'm pretending to
Speaker 3: understand everything that you're saying or comprehend the science behind it.
Speaker 3: But I would love a pet Willy mammoth. I think
Speaker 3: that would be fun. Okay, just me and my pet
Speaker 3: Willie Nelson.
Speaker 2: This is the best idea ever.
Speaker 11: I think it's a bad idea. Extinct species are extinct,
Speaker 11: bringing them back to influence climate change. It's a non starter.
Speaker 3: There's always a buzzkill. Meet doctor Ross McFee from the
Speaker 3: American Museum of Natural History.
Speaker 11: I've spent most of my career on ice age, paleontology,
Speaker 11: on mammoths, on saber tooth cats, you name it. I've
Speaker 11: been there.
Speaker 3: Wait, so you're a paleontologist who works at the American
Speaker 3: Museum of Natural History and your name is doctor Ross.
Speaker 11: I know I know where you're going with this.
Speaker 3: Hell, I didn't think today could get any better.
Speaker 2: But oh my god.
Speaker 11: Okay, Troy, here it is. This is the mammas.
Speaker 3: This is what they want to bring back.
Speaker 11: They want to bring this back in all of its glory.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Well, it seems easy enough.
Speaker 3: The bones are all there.
Speaker 11: Right, but it's a little matter of the soft tissues
Speaker 11: that we need as well, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Kleenex? Yeah, so how would they even resurrect an
Speaker 3: extinct species?
Speaker 6: The wooly mammoth and the Asian all very closely related.
Speaker 6: We can engineer them to be compatible with with genetic
Speaker 6: engineering tools tools, right.
Speaker 3: So in a way, you're making sort of an Asian hybrid. Correct. Yeah? Okay, Well,
Speaker 3: now I know why they asked me to do this interview.
Speaker 11: But here's the project. Money that's going to be spent
Speaker 11: would be much better spent on endangered species that are
Speaker 11: still with us.
Speaker 3: But can you imagine a beautiful world where humans and
Speaker 3: wooly mammos play together on Earth?
Speaker 11: We're talking about an animal that is eating three hundred
Speaker 11: pounds of food a day.
Speaker 3: Three hundred pounds. Someone called TLC.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I know, nobody wants something that's five to six
Speaker 11: thousand pounds marching around in their yard.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, have you been reading my journal? In
Speaker 3: my childhood dream journal, I wrote, I want something that's
Speaker 3: five to six thousand pounds marching around my yard.
Speaker 11: It's a big mistake.
Speaker 3: Well, I was a kid. Both of these geniuses made
Speaker 3: good points, but only one of them had a secret
Speaker 3: lab full of prehistoric creatures, and I couldn't believe I
Speaker 3: was finally going to meet one of these majestic mammoths. Wow,
Speaker 3: this is this is amazing. So where are the mammoths?
Speaker 6: I think even a simple engineered elephants a little short
Speaker 6: of mammoth, probably twenty twenty eight at the earliest eight.
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6: We could show you some elephant cells.
Speaker 3: All right, let's see some elephant cells. Fun.
Speaker 6: These are very preceiate cells.
Speaker 3: Took us years.
Speaker 6: It's very sterile, was sterile, very rich growth media.
Speaker 3: So you're going to turn this water into a wooly mammoth.
Speaker 6: Well, the cells could conceivably contribute to changing the genome.
Speaker 2: Of an elephant.
Speaker 3: Okay, bringing back a wooly mammoth to curb climate change
Speaker 3: might seem bonkers, but it's either that are carpooling with
Speaker 3: coworkers we hate. At least this guy will be here
Speaker 3: when we're all gone.
Speaker 6: Thank you, Rody.
Speaker 2: When we come back, Olivia.
Speaker 7: Mon will be joining me on the pro so don't go away.
Speaker 3: Welcome my guest.
Speaker 2: And Night is a former Daily Show correspondent an actor
Speaker 2: who stars in the new Apple TV Plus series Your
Speaker 2: Friends and Neighbors. Please Welcome back, Olivia Moon, Welcome home.
Speaker 2: Thank you. It is so nice to be here. I
Speaker 2: love it here. Do you like it? We invite you
Speaker 2: to come on as a guest, and then we immediately
Speaker 2: put you to work. I love it.
Speaker 8: This was one of this was when I got the
Speaker 8: call to be on the Daily Show, it was like,
Speaker 8: I mean, at that time it was like John Stewart
Speaker 8: is was it will always be the King of Comedy.
Speaker 2: But to get that call to come on, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember I was standing right over there.
Speaker 8: It was my first time I was in the dark,
Speaker 8: and I just was like, oh my gosh, my gosh,
Speaker 8: and just remember I couldn't breathe. It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 8: I'm forgetting to breathe. I was so nervous. Yes, it
Speaker 8: was just the best time of my life.
Speaker 2: And it was probably a whirlwind.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: Did you get hired and then immediately put on the show?
Speaker 8: I got I got hired, and then we knew that
Speaker 8: They're like, you're gonna We're gonna have you on in
Speaker 8: two weeks. So there was like a two week okay
Speaker 8: writing process behind the scenes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. God, And this was twenty eleven, when I was
Speaker 2: twenty ten, ten eleven, ten to twenty twelve. Okay, I
Speaker 2: was meaning to ask you, do you mind if I
Speaker 2: finished that gogurt that you left in the first time?
Speaker 5: I did already?
Speaker 2: Do you think that's They do a lot of great
Speaker 2: snacks here?
Speaker 8: They do, although I don't You guys wouldn't know because
Speaker 8: you're not inside the building like that. But you, guys,
Speaker 8: Trevor did something to the inside of your offices. It's
Speaker 8: not good. You guys used to be like all open
Speaker 8: and everybody.
Speaker 2: Could like look over their desks and talk to each other.
Speaker 8: Now it's like it's like you're inside of a train car, right,
Speaker 8: It's like all compartmentalized.
Speaker 2: Well, they tried to give everyone their individual space, but
Speaker 2: we're in really tight little spaces now, so it just
Speaker 2: it does feel like you're working inside of a shoebox.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. And it was already like my office back
Speaker 2: then was already really shitty. H Now they made them shittier.
Speaker 2: They're even shittier. Yeah, they really are. You know, Paramount cuts.
Speaker 2: What do you do? I'm sorry, we don't have Apple
Speaker 2: TV money?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: During crazy political times like this, are you just like, oh,
Speaker 2: thank god, I don't have to cover news anymore.
Speaker 8: I yeah, yeah, I don't think I could keep up
Speaker 8: with it. And honestly, I've just I hear things, you know,
Speaker 8: I hear some things like today, I heard something about
Speaker 8: the tariffs, and I was like, oh, yeah, there's tariffs,
Speaker 8: And I knew I was coming on. So I learned
Speaker 8: more because I was coming on here. But I kind
Speaker 8: of go uh through life kind of like uh, like,
Speaker 8: I have two babies, got a lot of other stuff happening,
Speaker 8: so it's really hard to uh to think about digesting
Speaker 8: all of the news.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that sounds so nice, you know, I just
Speaker 2: just a day of that. Although you have been tapped
Speaker 2: in because you've been hosting co hosting The Today Show
Speaker 2: with Jenna and the last week you've been fantastic. Has it?
Speaker 2: Thanks you? Fun? It's so much fun, it is it?
Speaker 5: Thank You's on there. It's a very fun.
Speaker 8: It's a very fun show to be on. They're really
Speaker 8: it's just very easy. Do they still give you copious
Speaker 8: amounts of Chardonay? No, they didn't this time they've let up.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that was Yeah, maybe it.
Speaker 8: Was a Kathy Lee thing, but anyways, Yes, it is
Speaker 8: very nice and pleasant.
Speaker 2: You wade in on the all Females Space mission. Yes,
Speaker 2: Blue Origin, Blue Origin. Were you surprised by the response that.
Speaker 8: You got that, you know, I was actually very happy
Speaker 8: to hear. So many people feel the same way. They
Speaker 8: think it's ridiculous. Yeah, I'll tell them what you said. Yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 8: do you guys know what we're talking about?
Speaker 2: Good thing? You don't.
Speaker 8: I mean, but they are going on this press It's
Speaker 8: like I can't who's in who else in it? It's
Speaker 8: a there's a group of women, Jeff Bezos is wife,
Speaker 8: Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry, Gail King. They're going to space.
Speaker 8: They're calling it this whole that the a female exploration.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: They were on the cover of El magazine as if
Speaker 8: they were like making history.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and oh my gosh.
Speaker 8: The thing the things that that threw me was that
Speaker 8: they said they're gonna put the ass an astronaut did
Speaker 8: They said lot, Yeah, I think Katy Perry said that.
Speaker 2: And they all talked about going in full glam and
Speaker 2: I think it is King talking about my eyelash glue.
Speaker 8: I couldn't take it. I just was so annoyed by that.
Speaker 8: Here's my biggest issue with that.
Speaker 2: It like they this big press push feels like they
Speaker 2: think they are shattering some outer space glass ceiling.
Speaker 8: But I think it's just a girl's trip. Like I'm
Speaker 8: pretty sure that's all it is.
Speaker 2: Women will stop at nothing for just a good old
Speaker 2: smashing girls. I will say though, as a woman on
Speaker 2: this planet in this moment in time, I do love
Speaker 2: the idea of launching myself into outer space. Well, can
Speaker 2: I just tell you that if.
Speaker 8: This was all about feminism for them, they wouldn't be
Speaker 8: putting themselves on that rocket. There are so many female
Speaker 8: astronauts who have been training their whole lives to go
Speaker 8: into space and haven't gotten that call, Like yeah, them
Speaker 8: your seat, them have that say, these are the least
Speaker 8: qualified people to be in space. And by the way,
Speaker 8: it's not even space. We could see them right now,
Speaker 8: Like it's that easy. Like they're not going in a
Speaker 8: minute mission, right Elevint you're calling it a mission.
Speaker 5: He's going in a mission.
Speaker 2: What's the mission? What's their mission? Tell me? I can't
Speaker 2: hey to put the ass an astronaut. I guess I
Speaker 2: get Well, now they're done training. I heard. Well, there's
Speaker 2: so much to I'm now you've got to be invested
Speaker 2: in this story.
Speaker 8: Well I only had to get invested because they forced
Speaker 8: it onto us by telling us in the press all
Speaker 8: about it and were such a big press push.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I have more to say. I want
Speaker 2: to do an hour podcast on it. All right, well
Speaker 2: we'll do that. We'll put out an extended cut. Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh. Congratulations on marrying your love, the brilliant John mulaney.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Last years two beautiful babies, Malcolm
Speaker 2: in May. I follow you on Instagram and your baby
Speaker 2: content is very impressive. That makes me so happy because
Speaker 2: that's pretty much all the content I have. Grawing up.
Speaker 2: What has it? What has it been? Like being at home.
Speaker 2: Who's the fun parent of the two of you?
Speaker 8: You know, funny you ask because people would think John
Speaker 8: because like you know of his history, but but.
Speaker 2: He is the strict parent.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and uh it does become like a
Speaker 8: little bit of an issue, like I'm John will say,
Speaker 8: like the other day he was like, Malcolm, no throwing
Speaker 8: balls in the house. And then he leaves and I said, Malcolm,
Speaker 8: do you want throw the ball in the house?
Speaker 2: You are back.
Speaker 8: Well, you know, I grew up in a family five.
Speaker 8: John grew up in a family of four, so similar.
Speaker 8: But the difference is like we were like in martial
Speaker 8: arts as kids. We were like really physical, we thought.
Speaker 8: I do not think there was like you know, hand
Speaker 8: to hand combat in John's family growing up. It's a
Speaker 8: very different Irish Catholic kind of upbringing. So I like
Speaker 8: things to be a little bit more rowdy. And the
Speaker 8: other day Malcolm said, Mama, can we throw the beach
Speaker 8: ball up to the fan and the ceiling And I said, yeah,
Speaker 8: should we turn it on first? And then we do that,
Speaker 8: the ball goes flying it breaks a glass obviously, and
Speaker 8: then John comes in He's like, Olivia, what are you
Speaker 8: thinking it's what he says to me a lot, and
Speaker 8: it's true. And then he said, you know what, I
Speaker 8: realized the kind of parent that you are. He told
Speaker 8: me that I'm like drop dead Fred.
Speaker 2: As a parent. You guys so dropped it. Oh does
Speaker 2: any great mood? Does any you guys too young? Some
Speaker 2: people are not, some people are old enough. Like God, yes,
Speaker 2: thank you? Look out drop dead Fred. I mean I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, yeah, that's yeah, I am dropped dead Fred.
Speaker 2: As a parent, you're the imaginary best friend. I'm the
Speaker 2: imaginary best friend that's like, do whatever. Let's like make
Speaker 2: mud pies in the living room. Who cares. I think
Speaker 2: you're flipping gender stereotypes. I fully support this because you
Speaker 2: know all about the fun dads, and then the moms
Speaker 2: have to come in and no, you're a fun mom.
Speaker 2: I think you own that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 3: I should be a fund.
Speaker 2: Are you having I'm doing this this? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2: I'm just waiting for them to pull the rug out
Speaker 2: from underne guys are doing so great. It's so fun
Speaker 2: to watch you guys. I remember when I came out,
Speaker 2: I see your guys on the banners outside. When I
Speaker 2: was here for two years. I never got a banner.
Speaker 2: You never got a ban ever got on that never
Speaker 2: got I asked, John, Can I get the Can I
Speaker 2: get the banner? We got to get you a banner?
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, give me a banner, just an honorary
Speaker 8: that would be. And maybe next time I come, you
Speaker 8: can put one up for the day. We will, absolutely
Speaker 8: and then you can take it back down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we'll take it back down. It'll be
Speaker 2: an eleven minute mission. It'll be you have you actually
Speaker 2: took quite a bit of time away from acting to
Speaker 2: spend the time with your family. You had welcome and
Speaker 2: you were very open about experiencing postpartum depression. Yeah, postpartum anxiety. Anxiety. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I had I'd been prepared for postpartum depression because
Speaker 2: we hear so much about it.
Speaker 8: But postpartum anxiety came on and it was I don't
Speaker 8: know if anyone here has gone through that their partners out,
Speaker 8: but it is.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: It is one of the worst experiences of my life.
Speaker 8: It came on like a month.
Speaker 2: Or two after I had Malcolm, and I woke up
Speaker 2: at four am. My eyes just pop open and I
Speaker 2: start going and I keep breathing like that all day long,
Speaker 2: and I keep waking up like that every day at
Speaker 2: four am. For a year. Oh my god, for a
Speaker 2: full year. I just couldn't breathe.
Speaker 8: I just had so much anxiety and it wasn't There
Speaker 8: was no actual thoughts, and thank god, I didn't have
Speaker 8: any thoughts of self harm or harming others. I have
Speaker 8: so much compassion and sympathy for mothers who are going
Speaker 8: through that, and I think that people don't understand it
Speaker 8: enough and we're not compassionate enough about what it's like
Speaker 8: to be a mother and to birth a baby and
Speaker 8: everything that happens to your body and the hormones. But
Speaker 8: it was incredibly difficult, but I did make it through
Speaker 8: to the other side.
Speaker 5: Well, the fact that you're.
Speaker 2: So openly discussing it so helpful to so many other
Speaker 2: women who have experienced it. You've also been incredibly open
Speaker 2: about your breast cancer diagnosis, which is not just courageous
Speaker 2: but an incredibly generous thing to do. I can't even
Speaker 2: imagine deciding that in that moment in time, everything you
Speaker 2: were going through. What made you want to share your story? Well,
Speaker 2: there was a few reasons, but the biggest is that
Speaker 2: I was looking back on photos with myself and my son,
Speaker 2: and there was this one video I had of me
Speaker 2: and him and I was laughing and were playing, and
Speaker 2: I had had a clear mammogram, like just around that
Speaker 2: same time, but I had cancer and I didn't know it.
Speaker 2: And the way that my cancer was found was because
Speaker 2: my doctor did the Lifetime Risk Assessment test.
Speaker 8: It's this free online test takes a few minutes to
Speaker 8: take and I link it in my Instagram bio just
Speaker 8: because there's a very specific one that does the best calculation.
Speaker 2: It's a tire Cusic test.
Speaker 8: And she took it and she said, your score is
Speaker 8: thirty seven point three percent.
Speaker 2: Anything above twenty percent is considered high risk.
Speaker 8: She sent me to get an MRI, and after that
Speaker 8: I was diagnosed with multifocal, multi quadrant bilateral breast cancer
Speaker 8: stage one. Yeah, with a clear mammogram, clear mammogram, clear ultrasound,
Speaker 8: clear genetic testing for any genetic cancer, so no BRACA
Speaker 8: or anything like that. I was doing everything I thought
Speaker 8: I had to do to take care of myself. This
Speaker 8: test has been around for a very long time. It's
Speaker 8: just not something people have heard about a lot. So
Speaker 8: that's why I wanted to talk about it, I said,
Speaker 8: if I could, I told John, if every woman just
Speaker 8: knew that they could have their own score right there
Speaker 8: and take it to their doctor, it could just change
Speaker 8: their life and save their life.
Speaker 2: And that's why I made the decision to talk about it.
Speaker 5: Especially genuine thing for you to do.
Speaker 2: And you've had women come up to you and say
Speaker 2: thank you so much for sharing that you've impacted other
Speaker 2: women's lives by sharing that.
Speaker 8: That's the thing that I was not expecting, because when
Speaker 8: I was diagnosed, the first thing I said to John
Speaker 8: was like, don't tell anybody. We're not telling anybody. And
Speaker 8: it wasn't that I was embarrassed or ashamed. I couldn't
Speaker 8: deal with other people's worry. You know, if I didn't
Speaker 8: want to tell my mom, I didn't want I didn't
Speaker 8: want to hear my sister worry and panic.
Speaker 2: I didn't want my mom to cry. And then I realized.
Speaker 8: Very soon that he needs support as well, So I said,
Speaker 8: you know, let's just tell whoever we need to tell.
Speaker 8: But the sisterhood of women who have gone through this,
Speaker 8: it's so beautiful and so amazing. And every time someone
Speaker 8: comes up and says something to me or wants to
Speaker 8: stop and talk to me about their own journey, or
Speaker 8: their mother or sister, or their wives. It's just it
Speaker 8: sounds a little cheesy, but I do get healed a
Speaker 8: little bit more every single time. And it's a strange
Speaker 8: thing to say it, but and I can only say
Speaker 8: it because I've made it through to this side. But
Speaker 8: I would happily go through cancer all over again if
Speaker 8: it meant that I could reach out to this many
Speaker 8: people and save this many people's lives a million percent,
Speaker 8: I would.
Speaker 2: Do it all over it.
Speaker 5: I'm so grateful that you're on.
Speaker 2: The other side of it now and you're healthy, and
Speaker 2: now you have this, you're back to work, you have
Speaker 2: this incredible new show. Yeah. Thanks, and you took.
Speaker 5: Some time off.
Speaker 2: But tell us what was so enticing about this project?
Speaker 2: Was it John Ham's Penis. It doesn't just star John
Speaker 2: Ham's Penis. Olivia is also in it and Amanda p
Speaker 2: and a great cast.
Speaker 8: I well, I love it was Apple TV, which I
Speaker 8: think that they do the coolest content. And then John Hamm,
Speaker 8: Jonathan Tropper, and it was I love that we're meeting
Speaker 8: these people John Hamm and myself specifically at this time.
Speaker 8: And though I but their lives are crumbling. It's about
Speaker 8: the one percenters in the country and these people who
Speaker 8: are born into wealth and have everything that you think
Speaker 8: that you could ever want or need. And John Ham's
Speaker 8: character loses everything and starts to steal from his rich
Speaker 8: friends and neighbors to keep up his facade. And my
Speaker 8: character is the only one in the world that wasn't
Speaker 8: born into wealth. She has a blue collar upbringing and
Speaker 8: she married into this. So we meet my character in
Speaker 8: the middle of a divorce, on the precipice of losing everything,
Speaker 8: and I really I find it fascinating to watch people
Speaker 8: who have so much lose it all.
Speaker 2: It's a great prem I mean, there's a ton of conflict,
Speaker 2: it's you're phenomenal in it. The two of you have
Speaker 2: such great chemistry. There's like a fun banter and there's
Speaker 2: like a fun rhythm to the show.
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's Jonathan Trapper's dialogue. He's a fantastic novelist and writer.
Speaker 8: And John Hamm is an executive producer on this, so
Speaker 8: we had hit his hand and everything as well.
Speaker 2: It's great. And your scenes with Amanda Pete or Fin
Speaker 2: I mean, so far, that's my favorite episode. She's so
Speaker 2: good in it you together. Oh very very good. Yea,
Speaker 2: and it just got picked up for a second season.
Speaker 2: So congratulations, thank you, thank you, I adjure you, thank
Speaker 2: you so much for being here. Congratulations on everything. Thank
Speaker 2: you for having so much fun with us. We missed
Speaker 2: you dearly, but we're so happy for all of your
Speaker 2: success than your friends.
