Speaker 2: like all of my comments.
Speaker 1: I would hate that episode. Really, I would hate that

Speaker 2: they're funny.

Speaker 1: Sorry, but it literally literally literally literal. I'm like Daffy Duck.
Speaker 1: It's literally on like all the time.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but I think it's funny. At least,
Speaker 2: you know, at least it's not a dumb commercial. It
Speaker 2: makes me giggle every time I see it. But again,
Speaker 2: I realize I'm biased when you say when you say

Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, I mean, in your defense, Joelle, they
Speaker 2: mostly play I mean when you see someone who watches
Speaker 2: live events, like like sports. And every time I got
Speaker 2: one on the SNL, the SNL, the SNL. It was
Speaker 2: the first commercial on NBC of the SNL anniversary and
Speaker 2: that was that was the first.
Speaker 1: Time it was like we were part of the SNL.
Speaker 2: In our minds. We got to be a part of Yes,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And it came on like every commercial.
Speaker 2: Was Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 1: a guy sty are doing? They not like us, They're
Speaker 1: not like.

Speaker 2: Brotheres Carry Brothers requested that you and I introduced.
Speaker 1: Him Carry Brothers. I just want to sing a song
Speaker 1: for you, yea, I remember. Look man, I still don't
Speaker 1: think he knows a song. It's Tracy Morgan. I still
Speaker 1: believe he doesn't know the song wishing of a wise

Speaker 1: Do wind the broad Tone Spring. That's what it sounds like,
Speaker 1: he said, when the broad tonge Spring.

Speaker 2: I need you to hold it together. You can't go rogue.
Speaker 2: We don't have Daniel there to be like cut that Daniel.
Speaker 1: So I can't say nothing crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joelle, are you coming? You're invited?
Speaker 1: You know I did.
Speaker 4: I was invited. I would absolutely show up. That sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: I think Mark, my assistant, made sure that you had
Speaker 2: a seat because Daniel, you would have been invited. But
Speaker 2: you don't live here. But Joel, I think Mark has got.
Speaker 4: You I'll follow up with Mark.
Speaker 1: Then if you would have said to Dan will come through,
Speaker 1: I bet you he would have made it.
Speaker 2: Well. I don't want to ask, you know, to fly in,
Speaker 2: and I don't think I have any more seats anyway.
Speaker 2: But Mark was looking out for you, Joelle. Mark was
Speaker 2: looking out for you, Joel. I had a woman who
Speaker 2: works for Bill's company who I needed her to get
Speaker 2: me an answer on something. And she was like, because
Speaker 2: the tickets are just all gone. And she's like, i'll
Speaker 2: give you that answer like tomorrow if you get me
Speaker 2: two tickets from me and my husband's reguards a concert.
Speaker 2: And I was kind I was kind of flippantly like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I actually I can't plan my spring until you tell
Speaker 2: me the dates of X, Y and Z. And she's like,
Speaker 2: I'm on it. Literally an hour later, he's like, here's
Speaker 2: all the information. It's confirmed, these are the dates. Two
Speaker 2: tickets please.
Speaker 1: Yep. That's how it goes, that's how it goes in demand.
Speaker 1: Brody mcdotie, you got a hot you got a hot ticket.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, I can make it. Your concert is a
Speaker 1: hot ticket.
Speaker 2: I can make a big announcement here, Joelle. If you
Speaker 2: tell me when this airs. Oh then guys, you'll have
Speaker 2: known this if you really follow us on social media.
Speaker 2: But so we did this amazing deal with this company
Speaker 2: called Veeps and they shoot the event with ten cameras,
Speaker 2: beautiful cranes, drones like steady cam. It's like incredibly shot.
Speaker 2: And then a week later, anywhere in the world you
Speaker 2: can stream the concert. It's nineteen bucks or so. And
Speaker 2: here's the great thing, thanks to our partners at t Mobile,
Speaker 2: every single cent of your ticket price goes to the
Speaker 2: Midnight Mission, our charity partner for the event. Not amazing, wish, No,
Speaker 2: it's so great because there were so many people who
Speaker 2: wanted to go, who couldn't go. The venue only see
Speaker 2: six thousand people, and there was such incredible interest from
Speaker 2: all over the world. And this enables people to see
Speaker 2: the show. And then I was really thanks to Team
Speaker 2: Mobile for real, like they came through because it's expensive
Speaker 2: to shoot it and with ten cameras and a huge crew,
Speaker 2: but they are covering all the production costs, which means
Speaker 2: that every single cent of your ticket price goes to
Speaker 2: the charity.
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
Speaker 4: What the charity is.
Speaker 2: The charity is the Mission, which is for those of
Speaker 2: you who don't live in LA. It's like the oldest
Speaker 2: mission in downtown LA takes care of anyone with any
Speaker 2: needs who are living on the street, whether it be food,
Speaker 2: whether a bed, whether it's a drug rehabilitation, mental illness.
Speaker 2: They guarantee everyone food and a place to sleep, and
Speaker 2: they will take care of you if you are in
Speaker 2: need and unhoused in Los Angeles. And now more than ever,
Speaker 2: they're helping people with all these fires, people who have
Speaker 2: been who have been devastated by the fires and need
Speaker 2: need a meal or need a bed. It's just an
Speaker 2: incredible organization. They have like one hundred, a rating of
Speaker 2: one hundred on Charity Navigator, all those all those sites
Speaker 2: that rate charities. They're just incredible. And you know, we
Speaker 2: have a real problem with people not having housing in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, so it just felt like the most appropriate
Speaker 2: charity to me.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 5: That's beautiful, What a great way to share anybody available? Now,
Speaker 5: where can people get ticks? Remind them if.
Speaker 2: If everyone goes to veeps dot com, v E e
Speaker 2: p s dot com, I don't have the and just
Speaker 2: search for the Garden State Concert. I'm sure it'll be
Speaker 2: up there. But V E E P s dot com
Speaker 2: and the show's March twenty ninth. It won't be up
Speaker 2: there because we're not streaming it live that we didn't

Speaker 1: You're gonna have to shin dig something or another. Brody no, brother,
Speaker 1: I got turned fifty.
Speaker 2: Once, I know, But I just I'm very blessed to
Speaker 2: have a bit of a traffic jam with work, and
Speaker 2: I'm so grateful for that. And I don't really see
Speaker 2: how I'm going to throw it right now.
Speaker 1: You know what, the best thing ever is working on
Speaker 1: your birthday. A lot of people poo poo on that shit.
Speaker 1: I think that's the best.
Speaker 2: Way you have to add the caveat that you love
Speaker 2: what you do. A lot of people don't love get
Speaker 2: the luxury of loving what they do, so working on
Speaker 2: their birthday sucks. But you happen to be someone who
Speaker 2: loves your job.
Speaker 1: I love to work on my birthday. It means in me,
Speaker 1: I like to work on my birthday. And I like
Speaker 1: to work around the New Year, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: because it sets the year off right, and then it
Speaker 1: also sets your trip around the sun. Your next trip
Speaker 1: around the Sun is setting it off with a bang.
Speaker 2: I've been hanging out with your buddy, Harrison Ford. I
Speaker 2: don't like you right now directing Shrinking so good this season.
Speaker 1: Mike, I don't like you right now.
Speaker 2: For Jessica Williams, she she just brought it the other day.
Speaker 2: That cast is so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so talented. The winning awards, finally they're finally winning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Urie won the Critics Choice Award. I'm really
Speaker 2: happy for him, and just everyone is on this cast
Speaker 2: is so talented. And Jessica had a monologue the other day.
Speaker 2: Everyone was just like Jaws on the floor, like fucking hell.
Speaker 2: These these people are so talented. I love I love
Speaker 2: work on the show. It's so fun.
Speaker 4: You got two episodes this season, right.
Speaker 2: I'm directing episodes three and four this season.
Speaker 1: As Harrison never come to the set with a fedora on.
Speaker 1: Do you mean like the Raiders one like Indiana Jones.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he wears sort of a bit of a
Speaker 2: Fedora esque cat in some scenes when he's giving therapy
Speaker 2: on the bench. That's a bit of a of a
Speaker 2: running joke on the show. But no, he does never
Speaker 2: want an Indiana Jones style hat.
Speaker 1: What about a bullwhip? Y'all? Ever put a bullwhip in
Speaker 1: his hand? No?
Speaker 2: I don't think there's been any scenes where the elderly
Speaker 2: psychologist has a bullwhip.
Speaker 1: Does he still have that scar on his chin?
Speaker 2: Why did it? He has a scarnish chin. I never
Speaker 2: noticed it is his gardish chin.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you know that's a very iconic scar. Is
Speaker 1: it still there?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Donald I p personally have not.
Speaker 1: Does he still point a lot when he's talking to people?
Speaker 1: Does he still do the point the point? No, but
Speaker 1: he doesn't do the point. No.
Speaker 2: But he's very funny and he's very nice, and he
Speaker 2: loves working on the show. He you know, he it's
Speaker 2: great because he just he's not doing It's not like
Speaker 2: he's there like like this is just a job. He
Speaker 2: loves it. He loves funny, he loves when he get laughs.
Speaker 2: He's just he's just an awesome.
Speaker 1: Dude, you know I love him.
Speaker 2: Did you end up watching the Red Hulk movie or.
Speaker 1: No, I've not seen the Red Hulk. That's exactly what
Speaker 1: I hear it is. I hear it's not a Captain America.
Speaker 1: It's a Hulk movie.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh really?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, okay, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm That's what i'm that's what I'm learning,
Speaker 1: which is very interesting. And also, you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people poop pooed on it when it came out,
Speaker 1: and then there are a lot of people that are saying,
Speaker 1: see it again. It's a lot better the second time,
Speaker 1: is what I've heard.
Speaker 2: But you haven't been yet once and you love the
Speaker 2: Marvel verse.
Speaker 1: It just sounds, you know, it just sounds like, Uh,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I want Anthony Mackie to be a
Speaker 1: dope Captain America. And if I go to this movie
Speaker 1: and he's not a dope Captain America, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: pissed off. Okay, you know what I mean. And that's
Speaker 1: just what it is. I think it's a very awesome
Speaker 1: mantle to have, you know, or opportunity however you want
Speaker 1: to look at it. It's a great it's a great
Speaker 1: role to have, and I just don't want them to
Speaker 1: do him dirty. Man, Like I personally feel like he
Speaker 1: should be just as dope as the Chris Evans version
Speaker 1: of Captain America. But you know, the fact that they're
Speaker 1: saying that the movie isn't that good or people are
Speaker 1: hating on the movie makes me not want to go
Speaker 1: see it because I like to believe that Anthony Mackie
Speaker 1: is a great Captain America.
Speaker 2: All Right, there's Donald's thoughts on it.
Speaker 1: That's just me. It has nothing to do that with
Speaker 1: him being black one hundred percent, Like maybe seventy five
Speaker 1: percent is the reason why I'm saying that, but not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I also like him as a person.
Speaker 2: Got it. I once hung out with Anthony Mackie in
Speaker 2: Prince's hotel suite.
Speaker 1: See this is what I'm talking about. Why do you
Speaker 1: have to trump what I just said? Man? Why'd you
Speaker 1: have to go ahead trump? What the fuck I just said?
Speaker 2: No, my brain goes like Anthony Mackie, when have I
Speaker 2: met him? And I was like, oh, I once had
Speaker 2: that random ass night hanging out with him in a
Speaker 2: Prince's hotel suite?
Speaker 1: Was Prince there?
Speaker 2: Tavis Smiley was there. Yeah, Prince was there. It was me, Prince.
Speaker 1: America, Captain America.
Speaker 2: Oh and also what's his name, the the professor with
Speaker 2: the crazy hair, Cornell West. Cornell West. Prince invited us
Speaker 2: back to his hotel suite and there was a limousine
Speaker 2: there and they said just go with these guys and
Speaker 2: I got in. It was me, Tavis Smiley, and Cornell West.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a great fucking car ride. No, it
Speaker 1: was great.
Speaker 2: We had a nice chat and then we went up
Speaker 2: to the hotel suite and Prince was kind of coming
Speaker 2: in and out of the dining room area, but that's
Speaker 2: where he was, like, I think eating or something, and
Speaker 2: I just sat in like the living room area with
Speaker 2: Cornell West, Tavis Smiley, and Anthony Mackie.
Speaker 1: It's a good hangout. That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: That's a random story I forgot about.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: We have Judy Rays here today everybody, which is so
Speaker 2: exciting because we haven't spoken to Judy in a long time.
Speaker 1: It's been almost a year.
Speaker 2: Or two longer probably right.
Speaker 5: No, because we did the no I think at least
Speaker 5: two years since she's been on the pod.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really we haven't because because because she did, we
Speaker 2: didn't have her for the ninth season and uh, and
Speaker 2: then we've pivoted to just talking to interesting people, so
Speaker 2: we haven't really had her yet. This is our first
Speaker 2: moment to grill her about what it was like to
Speaker 2: fake make out with you.
Speaker 1: Now we talked about that.
Speaker 2: Well, I'd like to talk about it again.
Speaker 1: I mean we could totally, we could talk about that
Speaker 1: all day. See my puppy knocked out on a couch.
Speaker 2: It took around a walk this morning, so she's toasted.
Speaker 2: I had the funniest, craziest coincidence. We were shooting shrinking
Speaker 2: in Griffith Park doing a hiking scene and I got
Speaker 2: my dog into this. Uh that's my jersey accident here
Speaker 2: that my dog. I got my dog into this, uh
Speaker 2: into this guy this dog pack. You know, he walks
Speaker 2: dogs in a pack, which is great for them and
Speaker 2: gets her exercise. When I'm working, and of all places
Speaker 2: in all of Los Angeles, I'm shooting this scene with
Speaker 2: Harrison Ford and Jason and other cast members and I
Speaker 2: see this big dog pack and my brain goes, oh,
Speaker 2: what a cute dog pack. And then I look closer.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's my dog pack and I saw my dog.
Speaker 2: Of all places in the world, my dog accidentally visited
Speaker 2: me on set.
Speaker 1: I love that. Did she come running at you? Did
Speaker 1: she come running at you? Yeah?
Speaker 2: She like lit up and he was like, hold on,
Speaker 2: hold on, let me just get pack this pack of
Speaker 2: dogs past his film crew and then then we had cuddles.
Speaker 2: It was just so funny. It was like people were like,
Speaker 2: did you tell him to bring the dogs where you
Speaker 2: were working? I was like, no, there's one hundred percent
Speaker 2: of coincidence, and.
Speaker 1: Griffith get the dogs in the show.
Speaker 2: That's such a good idea. I didn't even think of
Speaker 2: I think that. I think that he was like, you know,
Speaker 2: he's on a mission, he's got he's on a schedule.
Speaker 2: He couldn't be like stop and wait to be.
Speaker 1: Like just be distracted twice.
Speaker 2: It would have been distracting though, if like, you know,
Speaker 2: the dialogue and all of a sudden you see a
Speaker 2: big ass pack of dogs going by.
Speaker 1: No doubt, I hear Neil Flynn is on shrinking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that if you watch the show.
Speaker 1: Never watched an episode except for yours.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you've even Oh you watched the
Speaker 2: one I showed you on an iPhone in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 2: God, if I could ask Jesus for one of many
Speaker 2: things God, you know yahweh.
Speaker 1: Really you would ask that? Not world peace or no.
Speaker 2: I'm doing a bit, but I really wish that I
Speaker 2: could convince you to watch things like I get so
Speaker 2: excited and I go, oh, Donald would love this, And
Speaker 2: I just have no chance of you getting to watch it.
Speaker 2: The only person I can get to watch anything in
Speaker 2: your household is Casey because I watched watches.
Speaker 1: She watches a lot of your request. She watched that
Speaker 1: damn documentary. I mean it's it's not a damned documentary.
Speaker 1: It's a very sad document.
Speaker 2: The saddest thing I've ever seen. Did she just watch it?
Speaker 1: Well, we watched. It's very disturbing. Man, it's very I'm
Speaker 1: talking about Gabby Patito. Yes, it is very watch it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first episode. It's very, very, very upsetting.
Speaker 2: It's the saddest thing I've ever seen. It's so it's
Speaker 2: the number one thing on Netflix. I don't know if
Speaker 2: it'll be when this airs, but audience, I warn you
Speaker 2: it's very upsetting. But it's it's a story of Gabby Patito,
Speaker 2: who who was murdered by her boyfriend, And what's so
Speaker 2: insane about it is because she was aspiring to be
Speaker 2: a YouTuber. There's so much footage of them because she
Speaker 2: was shooting their whole van life, and it's just absolutely
Speaker 2: upsetting from a domestic violence point of view. But I
Speaker 2: did think it was a really useful to highlight for
Speaker 2: people and who don't know and for and for maybe
Speaker 2: some police officers will now have a new perspective on
Speaker 2: trying to spot domistic violence, because I don't know that
Speaker 2: the cops that encountered them handled it.
Speaker 3: The thing to.
Speaker 5: Remember about abuse victims is like you're essentially you're love bombed,
Speaker 5: You're emotionally manipulated. You're to some extent brainwashed by your
Speaker 5: partner and also often dependent upon them. Oftentimes are be
Speaker 5: more violent if you try to fresh charges or escape.
Speaker 5: I think women are like six times more likely to
Speaker 5: be attacked after they file for a restraining order. There's
Speaker 5: not a lot of good answers in our system isn't
Speaker 5: set up to actually help these people, And it's I.
Speaker 2: Don't know that those cops. I don't know. Again, I
Speaker 2: don't I'm not an expert. I don't know that the
Speaker 2: cops handled it wrong. I just know that if they
Speaker 2: had handled it right, she'd probably be alive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, let's get happened.
Speaker 2: Let's get happen. But I do think that the doc
Speaker 2: is worth your time, everybody. It's really really well done
Speaker 2: and and informative about this horrible issue. And then the
Speaker 2: last thing I'll say is The Pit remains the best
Speaker 2: show ever. You need to watch it.
Speaker 1: It got renewed, didn't it. Yeah?
Speaker 4: Thank god.
Speaker 2: They shoot it on the Warner Brothers lot. I'm fixing
Speaker 2: to get a tour of that set.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Zach get it. You got a direct an episode.

Speaker 1: No, no, I just was. I was just done with it.
Speaker 1: I was doing it every five minutes, and I developed
Speaker 1: this little cough and everything like that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to smoke weed anymore. Like I was.
Speaker 1: It was bad, like it was bad, like you know,
Speaker 1: it was a type of habit where I was always
Speaker 1: at the ATM machine. I was always at the freaking dispensary.
Speaker 1: I was always, you know, I was. I graduated. I
Speaker 1: wasn't smoking joints or blunts anymore. I graduated to the
Speaker 1: bong because I felt like you could get higher with
Speaker 1: the bong. I was buying all types of wax and
Speaker 1: all types of freaking uh you know. I was dabbing
Speaker 1: all of that ship trying to reach a level that
Speaker 1: you know, you couldn't reach, that I couldn't reach.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you can only reach with meditation.
Speaker 1: Well I don't know about the meditation part, but uh,
Speaker 1: I just and then what sucks is once I quit,
Speaker 1: that was the worst part. After I quit, then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the anxiety kicked in, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I went on this this uh this there's something wrong
Speaker 1: with me? Run where I got every test I could
Speaker 1: possibly get, blood tests, et cetera, et cetera, to find
Speaker 1: out if I was dying or not, because it had
Speaker 1: to be something. Yeah, dude, I get.
Speaker 2: I mean, he had such withdrawal symptoms that then he
Speaker 2: then start you know, because he had been smoking so much,
Speaker 2: and so he definitely went through withdrawal, and because he's
Speaker 2: a bit of a hypochondriach, he assumed those withdrawal symptoms
Speaker 2: meant he was dying.
Speaker 1: And so every blood test, I got a colonoscopy, I
Speaker 1: got an endoscopy, I got all of these things.
Speaker 2: All the scopies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all the scopies you get.
Speaker 3: You got to get all those scopies after fifty anyway.
Speaker 1: Well that's true, But how's your all good? My rectum's good,
Speaker 1: my my chest and all of that stuff is good.
Speaker 2: I'm cleaned out to Will's covering her.
Speaker 1: You cleaned out.
Speaker 3: You don't do the smoking. Do you do drinking? Do
Speaker 3: you drink?
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that has fallen back into play,
Speaker 1: and that's more dangerous than smoking.
Speaker 2: But I thought you said you were just drinking once
Speaker 2: in a while, like on an occasion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well once in a while on occasion. It's turned
Speaker 1: into quite a bit right now, stupid? Come on, come on,
Speaker 1: it is a little stupid. But I made a pack
Speaker 1: with myself. I said, you know what, February today's the
Speaker 1: twenty second of twenty twenty six is the next time
Speaker 1: I'll uh, I'll you smoke. No, I'll drink. I'll have
Speaker 1: a drink.
Speaker 2: Wait, you're gonna go for a year? You just committed
Speaker 2: to do a year?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Because now, no, not just now. I did that.
Speaker 1: I did it earlier after waking up hungover, and I
Speaker 1: was like, yo, you know what, this is stupid? What
Speaker 1: am I doing? I mean, just want one vice to
Speaker 1: pick up another.
Speaker 2: I want to support you. But you can bite off
Speaker 2: a smaller chunk. You can say, I'm gonna do six months.
Speaker 1: Okay, how about well let's do one month? Too much?
Speaker 3: How often do you drink? Donald? Is it an every
Speaker 3: day thing?
Speaker 1: No, it's not every day, but it's enough to where
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it got to a point where
Speaker 1: it was like, wait a second, you had to drink
Speaker 1: three days ago. Man, you don't need to fucking.
Speaker 2: But also that hangover.
Speaker 1: It sucks ass man, Like my face is all swollen,
Speaker 1: my hands are swollen, all of that stuff. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm and then also and also, you know I'm a hypochondriac,
Speaker 1: So immediately I'm like diabetes.
Speaker 3: I'm dying. I'm dying.
Speaker 1: I'm dying.
Speaker 3: You gotta drink vodka because there's no sugar in vodka.
Speaker 1: I don't want to drink it. All.
Speaker 2: We're trying to we're trying to be healthy around here.
Speaker 2: It's so too We're trying to live as long as
Speaker 2: we can. That's our new goal.
Speaker 3: I just had I got a hip replacement seven weeks ago.
Speaker 1: How do you feel?
Speaker 3: I feel good today. You know, I have a little bit.
Speaker 3: I had one four years ago. I had my right
Speaker 3: hip replace and now because I have r C arthritis,
Speaker 3: so I had to get this one done. And I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's because I don't remember how much
Speaker 3: that should hurt. But my recovery is taking longer. But
Speaker 3: what do you do?
Speaker 2: What's the recovery? You have to do PT and stuff
Speaker 2: you have to do PT.
Speaker 3: I just started PT this week. So you know, they
Speaker 3: move your leg around, you have to massage the wound.
Speaker 3: Then you got to get stronger. And at this age
Speaker 3: you literally see like one leg is like hanging when
Speaker 3: the other one is stronger because the muscles aren't working.
Speaker 3: But all that to say that I started doing edibles
Speaker 3: and sleep CBD because the oxy was scaring the shit
Speaker 3: out of me.
Speaker 1: Oh so I was.
Speaker 3: I was doing the edibles.
Speaker 2: For your hip replacement after.
Speaker 3: It's so bad. It's true, like the first two three
Speaker 3: it's really small milligrams. And I got out of the
Speaker 3: hospital the day after the fires, and then when I
Speaker 3: try to go to the pharmacy, there's like a shortage
Speaker 3: of oxy and all the pharmacies in town and ship.
Speaker 2: I'm so scared of that ship. I don't even want
Speaker 2: to they're trying to want to take it once.
Speaker 1: They're trying to get you.
Speaker 2: Know, they're very they're they're way more, uh, they prescribe
Speaker 2: it way less these days. But I'm afraid that I
Speaker 2: would just fucking love it and be like, oh no, there's.
Speaker 3: No way not to love it. There's no way not
Speaker 3: to love it. And that is the problem, you know,
Speaker 3: like you want to you just the world is a
Speaker 3: better place than then you take one of the pills.
Speaker 2: That's what it helps with the pain. How did you
Speaker 2: You had to You had to moderate yourself to not
Speaker 2: I had.
Speaker 3: To moderate myself. I refilled it. Uh. One time I
Speaker 3: was doing okay with the pain, and that's when I
Speaker 3: started to get get the CBD edibles because I didn't
Speaker 3: want I couldn't go to sleep unless I took an
Speaker 3: oxy because because the pain and the discomfort is really bad.
Speaker 3: Once because for me, I had to put myself in
Speaker 3: like a position. But of course I'm menopausal. When I
Speaker 3: pee every five minutes, so the second I go to
Speaker 3: the bathroom in the middle of the night, then it's
Speaker 3: a whole procedure to get back in bed in a
Speaker 3: position where it doesn't hurt.
Speaker 2: One of the menopausal things is that you peel up.
Speaker 3: Well, your bladder is not as strong, so you just do.
Speaker 2: You all see the video of this this African American
Speaker 2: woman having a hot flash outside where the where the smoke.
Speaker 1: Steam is coming off her head.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that was amazing. Yeah, and they said that
Speaker 2: she was having a menopausal hot flash.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's bad between night sweats and hot flashes. I'm
Speaker 3: on set. I literally have to like we're I'm doing
Speaker 3: a take and I'm like hold on a second, yeah,
Speaker 3: and hear and Mackham runs over with Frans, just how
Speaker 3: long does it last?
Speaker 2: How long does the hot flash last?
Speaker 3: It feels at least sixty seconds because it feels like
Speaker 3: you know when you watch water boil, It boils it
Speaker 3: and it's boiling and then then you turn it off
Speaker 3: and it goes back down. That's exactly what it's like.
Speaker 2: I remember Aloma saying while we were shooting. She was
Speaker 2: like something about I'm going through the changes or.
Speaker 3: Something, oh the change. Back when, back when you couldn't
Speaker 3: call it by its name, right, you.
Speaker 2: Couldn't see me. They say, I'm going through the change
Speaker 2: or the change, change, I'm going to change.
Speaker 1: I feel like I remember doing I remember Whoopy.
Speaker 2: Goldberg going through the change.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh when we were doing this movie, and
Speaker 1: she was like, you don't understand. You have no idea,
Speaker 1: You just don't get it. Like the heat that comes
Speaker 1: over you is like you take your jacket off in
Speaker 1: the dead of winter. Fuck it, it's zero is zero
Speaker 1: degrees outside. I want to.
Speaker 3: Sleep with sweatpants. Now, I'm like a tank top and
Speaker 3: my underwear or shorts because eventually I'm like freezing and
Speaker 3: then in the middle of the nights like that, I'm
Speaker 3: dripping and then you dry and then you're freezing again.
Speaker 2: And then it's all Donald, what are you sleeping? What
Speaker 2: are you sleeping?
Speaker 1: Sleep in suit? No, but but you when you said
Speaker 1: you sleep in your tank top and panties, A visuals
Speaker 1: just came over, just.
Speaker 2: Judy saying that panties.
Speaker 3: How does it feel? Is it sexy? When I say
Speaker 3: the change?
Speaker 2: No, you were talking about the change.
Speaker 1: You were talking about the change.
Speaker 2: So I'm surprised that when you said panties, I had
Speaker 2: a shift because I was not prepared. I was not
Speaker 2: thinking about the change anymore. Men men go through like
Speaker 2: me don't have a manno pause.
Speaker 1: Yes you do when you look man, do you know
Speaker 1: how many times I go to the bathroom and pee
Speaker 1: at night?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: But that's been going on for a while.
Speaker 1: No, but it's it's also because of age and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. I don't get that. It's no, you don't
Speaker 1: go you have like a libido.
Speaker 3: There's no way that you guys can play through anything.
Speaker 2: Mother than most men other than Donald, like have a
Speaker 2: decrease in libido.
Speaker 1: I mean it's not as much as it used to be.
Speaker 2: I mean, Donald is an outlier. I still still and
Speaker 2: be like most men like along the line, and then
Speaker 2: Donald would be like way outside the graph.
Speaker 1: I still do have a very high libido.
Speaker 2: He never went through that change.
Speaker 1: No, which is which is unfortunate for for Casey. For
Speaker 1: my wife, how does she deal with We've come to
Speaker 1: an agreement that you know, I'm very respectful of her
Speaker 1: uh of her period, and so I am not. We
Speaker 1: had a couple of therapists on our podcast and we
Speaker 1: used ourselves as guinea pigs.
Speaker 3: That's balls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're very they're very open.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I I am very aware of her feelings.
Speaker 1: And it's also so much better when she really wants
Speaker 1: to than when I want to. And so you know,
Speaker 1: I find myself masturbating a lot, but I do wait
Speaker 1: for when she's ready to go. I'm very excited about
Speaker 1: it and and and it's and it and granted it's
Speaker 1: not it's not as much as I'd like, but I
Speaker 1: don't give a ship. I love my wife and if
Speaker 1: it makes her happy, then are.
Speaker 2: There any rules about when you can masturbate?
Speaker 1: No, I can masturbate whenever. I mean I don't want
Speaker 1: to do it when the kids are up no.
Speaker 3: My friend, a friend of mine, told me that, do
Speaker 3: you masturbate next to her in bed?
Speaker 1: Nah, that's fucked up. I won't do that.
Speaker 2: My friend told me that his wife and he have
Speaker 2: a rule that he can't masturbate when she's home.
Speaker 1: Nah. I'll be sometimes I'll be like, babe, do you
Speaker 1: wanna have sex? And she'll say no, and I'll be like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go practice real quick, and she's.
Speaker 3: Like, I'll be Really, my husband's a really early riser,
Speaker 3: like I'm talking because he does a lot of work
Speaker 3: in Europe, so he's up like three thirty four in
Speaker 3: the morning. So our sex life and with our age
Speaker 3: has gone like from almost every day to just like
Speaker 3: once a weekend, but it's always at three thirty four
Speaker 3: in the fucking morning.
Speaker 1: Really, that's tough. That's that's tough.
Speaker 3: But we've gotten into that routine now. So like he
Speaker 3: wakes me up and I'm like, just give me in
Speaker 3: another half an hour, but something just turn over. It's like,
Speaker 3: don't wake me up, I turn over, give it to him.
Speaker 2: That's so funny.
Speaker 1: I hear that. I hear that.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Sometimes when I'm spooning my body pillow, I just give
Speaker 2: it to it whatever I want.
Speaker 3: It all right, and it doesn't complain.
Speaker 2: No, it loves it. It seems to love it no
Speaker 2: matter whenever I'm ready. That's a line from Scrubs, wasn't
Speaker 2: it like? As I as I lie there with my
Speaker 2: with my body pillow Katya.
Speaker 3: You guys like you remember everything from that show? Well
Speaker 3: a menopause monopauseal brain that I don't remember. I remember
Speaker 3: when I watch it, but like the stuff that we
Speaker 3: did and all the stuff how we hung out, I'm like,
Speaker 3: it's slipping my mind.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Well, we just we have the benefit of just having
Speaker 2: rewatched it, so we remember a ton of it.
Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't even after rewatching it. I don't
Speaker 1: remember a lot of it. Like we could rewatch it again.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't remember this episode. Let's take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after these fine words. Judy, we
Speaker 2: got to talk about your show because I just watched
Speaker 2: the trailer. I haven't seen the show yet, but it
Speaker 2: looked fucking amazing.
Speaker 3: It's really good, it's really fun. It's on ABC, the
Speaker 3: number one show on ABC.
Speaker 2: It's the not let me let me blow you up
Speaker 2: real quick, the number one show on ABC is a
Speaker 2: crime drama. I think it's a drama d right it
Speaker 2: has Yeah, yeah, it's called High Potential and uh with
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Olsen, who's just really really funny. Tell everyone who
Speaker 2: who doesn't know about it yet about you.
Speaker 3: I play Lieutenant Sodo. I'm the person in charge of
Speaker 3: all our police officers. And I hired Caitlyn's character Morgan
Speaker 3: because she she's what they call a high potential intellectual.
Speaker 3: She's just ultra smart and her brain moves at a
Speaker 3: speed at a rate that most people don't, you know,
Speaker 3: and that's an actual thing.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's got IQ of one sixty right, Yes, And.
Speaker 3: It's based on a French series that has been a
Speaker 3: huge hit for seven years and just adapted it and
Speaker 3: make it, made it our own, and it's the response
Speaker 3: to it has been amazing. Like our biggest fans I
Speaker 3: find are either fifteen or like fifty, you know, so
Speaker 3: there's like little kids and older women. My sister who's
Speaker 3: sixty two, fucking loves it. I was watching it, never
Speaker 3: cared about anything.
Speaker 2: I was watching the trailer and it's so cool. I
Speaker 2: love how much style it has, Like it really has
Speaker 2: a lot of style, a lot of style to it.
Speaker 2: It wasn't just like a procedural kind of thing. It
Speaker 2: was like when she starts going into how she thinks
Speaker 2: the crime happened, because she's like this genius. You see
Speaker 2: all the different ways they flashed, all the different ways
Speaker 2: that it could have gone down, and I was really
Speaker 2: well directed, really lots of cool style to the way
Speaker 2: it shot.
Speaker 3: She's she is, and then when you see what's going
Speaker 3: on in her head when she's trying to put the
Speaker 3: crime together. They call it Morgan visions. So it's like
Speaker 3: a series of points of view that gives them a
Speaker 3: really good chance to like mess with filmmaking.
Speaker 2: And yeah, reminded me of Scrubs solely in that the
Speaker 2: camera got to be a character in the show, which
Speaker 2: is my favorite kind of thing. You know, I'm directing
Speaker 2: Shrinking right now, which is so fun, but you know,
Speaker 2: it's way more subdued camera than that, and so we
Speaker 2: have to have to pick my moments for any bit
Speaker 2: of flair. But in Scrubs and in High Potential, you know,
Speaker 2: the camera is just as much a character. So there's
Speaker 2: all these really cool camera moves and stylistic choices the
Speaker 2: directors must have, so much fun.
Speaker 3: Actually do they have a lot of fun A really
Speaker 3: really strong, experienced people, really bold. Caitlin is an awesome leader,
Speaker 3: really really funny. She's yeah, and a terrific actor as well,
Speaker 3: you know, besides being funny, what a talented actor. And
Speaker 3: she's got a great opportunity to exploit those both things.
Speaker 2: Where do you which slot do you shoot it?
Speaker 3: On?
Speaker 1: Fox?
Speaker 2: On Fox?
Speaker 3: Okay, So the first time I've actually worked in LA
Speaker 3: on a show besides like a guest star since Scrubs.
Speaker 2: Really because you because everything's out of town.
Speaker 3: Everything close.
Speaker 1: Where was that was Atlanta? Huh?
Speaker 3: No, clause was New Orleans. DS Maids was Atlanta, and
Speaker 3: I don't remember what was in Vancouver. But that was
Speaker 3: a pilot that I was.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you what it's like to
Speaker 1: be on network television again, but you never really got
Speaker 1: off of network television. You've been on network.
Speaker 2: Televisking the wrong person. Judy's always television.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, what was it like? First of all,
Speaker 3: DVS Maids was Lifetime, right, but it's the pilot was
Speaker 3: on ABC and then they sold it to Lifetime and
Speaker 3: the clause was T and T.
Speaker 1: Well, those are both network televisions though, that's it, you know,
Speaker 1: a cable. Yeah, but okay, but now you're back on
Speaker 1: Now you're back. You're doing twenty two?
Speaker 2: How many episodes it?
Speaker 3: This one was thirteen? Yeah, thirteen, and we got picked up,
Speaker 3: so we'll probably be back for thirteen again.
Speaker 1: Are you just going to do thirteen? You're not going
Speaker 1: to jump to the twenty two episode?
Speaker 2: Does anyone.
Speaker 3: Network? I think the most they do is sixteen.
Speaker 1: They don't do no ABBO, I don't know. ABBOD does
Speaker 1: way more than that. I'm sure Abbit.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Joell can look it up for me.
Speaker 2: I feel like because of all the different things that
Speaker 2: have happened in our society strikes and COVID, they may
Speaker 2: have had like abbreviated seasons, but I think they might
Speaker 2: have like one.
Speaker 1: And I that like Lopezy Lopez or or what's the
Speaker 1: other one?
Speaker 2: Well, sitcoms they're probably doing twenty How.
Speaker 3: About sitcoms on broadcast TV?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Season two of ABBOTT had twenty two episodes.
Speaker 3: There you go look at that, like us, right, what
Speaker 3: did we do with twenty two? Four?
Speaker 1: The most we ever did was like twenty four? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I would love to
Speaker 1: I would love to do that. I just feel like
Speaker 1: if we ever did a twenty if I ever did
Speaker 1: a twenty two episode season, I don't think I'd ever
Speaker 1: see my kids. I don't think i'd ever seen my wife.
Speaker 3: It's different now, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot different. You know, I want that money.
Speaker 1: Everybody wants that money, but don't nobody want that time?
Speaker 3: That time is like, but it also depends on what
Speaker 3: is it a half hour? If there's a big cast,
Speaker 3: you won't necessarily work every single day, and if you're
Speaker 3: home because that's what I That's what I was like
Speaker 3: manifesting in my meditation, and shit, you just want to
Speaker 3: work at home, and please let me be at home
Speaker 3: because when the kid was turned four, that's it. I
Speaker 3: had to leave. I was leaving all the time. And
Speaker 3: as wonderful as it is to work that ship is
Speaker 3: it has an impact on your kids that you know,
Speaker 3: they're like this with my husband and I'm all jealous
Speaker 3: and shit, yeah.
Speaker 2: And Donald, you know, Donald's very close with his kids.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not going to go You're not going
Speaker 2: to go do a long series in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I said that to my agent, I was like, unless
Speaker 1: it's Star Wars or Marvel, you know, I don't give it.
Speaker 1: Has your kids now Donald eleven and nine, eleven and.
Speaker 3: Nine they still be yeah, fifteen they get mean.
Speaker 1: Oh no, pandemic kids are already my kids already you.
Speaker 3: Have to ask permission to come hang out with them.
Speaker 2: These kids are precocious, They're mean already, they already mean.
Speaker 2: Why don't you give them? Like obviously they love their
Speaker 2: phones and ship Why don't you take the Phone's.
Speaker 3: What I was going to say. That's what I do.
Speaker 3: That's my only weapon.
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep it up.
Speaker 3: I'm taking your phone. One more word, I take your phone.
Speaker 2: And so you don't do that.
Speaker 1: Oh no, of course absolutely, but that only you take it.
Speaker 1: And then they start annoying the fuck out of you,
Speaker 1: and you're like, here, please take your phone. Just take
Speaker 1: your phone and shuts back up. Take your phone and
Speaker 1: shout the fuck up.
Speaker 2: I got this lock box thing that I from when
Speaker 2: I'm writing, and you put your you put your phone
Speaker 2: in here, right, and you put it in here, and
Speaker 2: you put this on top, and then you dial in
Speaker 2: the amount of time I usually do thirty minutes, so
Speaker 2: I can't look at my phone and not going to
Speaker 2: do anything for thirty minutes. You could do this with
Speaker 2: your kids phones. When they piss you off, you'd be like,
Speaker 2: you know what, you just earn twenty four hour hours
Speaker 2: in the lock box and you put the phone in
Speaker 2: there for twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: Now we do days?
Speaker 3: You do days?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do well.
Speaker 3: I mean it's such a problem with the phone, right,
Speaker 3: especially when they're a teenager. It's kind of like an
Speaker 3: impossible thing to gauge, you know. So I do have
Speaker 3: like two hours no screens, but I don't have anything
Speaker 3: to do. I don't care what you do with your time.
Speaker 3: No screens for two hours, I take it. I get
Speaker 3: home two hours no phone. You can have it later
Speaker 3: to talk to your friends. That kind of stuff. Because
Speaker 3: it affects academically, it makes them depressed. They can't keep me.
Speaker 3: It really really.
Speaker 2: Makes me depressed. I can't imagine what it does to
Speaker 2: a teenager.
Speaker 3: And you can't escape everything that's happening in the world,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. You're looking for any escape
Speaker 3: and resources. My kid is trans so they're kind of terrified,
Speaker 3: you know. So it's just all of us reading ourselves
Speaker 3: away from all this stuff. That's really scary so that
Speaker 3: you kind of like connect.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back after the these fine words. How
Speaker 2: has that been for you, Judy having a trans child? Man?
Speaker 2: You you seem to be such a great mom and
Speaker 2: was it a was it an adjustment for you? How
Speaker 2: did you?
Speaker 3: You know? What's so funny? In the fifth grade, my
Speaker 3: kid came out as gay. They said, Mama, well what
Speaker 3: I what would you do if I told you that
Speaker 3: I liked girls? And I was like, what, that's amazing.
Speaker 3: Of course you have my support. Me and me and
Speaker 3: George were like losing our minds. And then COVID hit
Speaker 3: and then they go to middle school. I think it
Speaker 3: was the end of the sixth grade. Is seventh grade? Well,
Speaker 3: I remember we I might cry, I come home, we're
Speaker 3: on our way We picked them up from school. We're
Speaker 3: on our way home, I think it was, And they
Speaker 3: said they're really quiet. I said, what's wrong? Ray? I said,
Speaker 3: what if I told you that I'm really a boy?
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like when they were told me they
Speaker 3: were gay. It was like, well, I mean you're so young,
Speaker 3: you don't understand. I mean, let's say, let's wait and see.
Speaker 3: Of course you can be whatever you want. And I
Speaker 3: still feel their heartbreak at me not reacting or responding
Speaker 3: and I and I was overwhelmed by how challenging it
Speaker 3: was for me, like for that for six months a year,
Speaker 3: and then they were Then they're like, they want to
Speaker 3: change their name. They didn't want to use their dead name.
Speaker 3: And I remember because my husband has a mouth, he's
Speaker 3: like Jersey mouth, like fuck this, fuck that, fuck you,
Speaker 3: fuck everybody. And he's very very supportive also. But then
Speaker 3: one day they said, I want to I don't want
Speaker 3: to use my name anymore. I said, what do you
Speaker 3: want to? He want us to call you? And they
Speaker 3: called I want you to call me Nko and George
Speaker 3: is like, fuck that, I'm not going to call you
Speaker 3: fucking Nico.
Speaker 2: Fuck that ship.
Speaker 3: N They started screaming at each other because they're close
Speaker 3: like that, and I was like, oh, hold on on,
Speaker 3: and that's what I said, why don't we use your
Speaker 3: middle name? I named them Ray? It was Leila Ray.
Speaker 3: We don't say Leyla anymore, r e Y, which means king,
Speaker 3: and said, why don't we call you Ray until we
Speaker 3: decide what name you're going to be called? Okay, and
Speaker 3: it's spelled like the first half of our last name,
Speaker 3: and it means king, so that way it's still male.
Speaker 3: They were both really quiet. I said I'll try it,
Speaker 3: and then we picked them up the next day at school.
Speaker 3: Bye Ray, right bye, right, yeah, Ray, and I see
Speaker 3: tomorrow Ray. So they just and they've been Ray ever sing.
Speaker 2: Wow. That's such a pretty story. And I love that
Speaker 2: it's a part of your maiden name or your name
Speaker 2: you're It.
Speaker 3: Was also to honor my dad, you know, at least
Speaker 3: because he was very ill and dying and stuff.
Speaker 2: And the schools now, I believe that, you know, we're
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, very progressive area. It's all, uh, they
Speaker 2: okay in school.
Speaker 3: I imagine they feel okay. They feel okay, but the
Speaker 3: reality of the world is always in front of them,
Speaker 3: so they always wonder and they're always asking, you know,
Speaker 3: and when we travel, am I going to be able
Speaker 3: to use the bathroom? Is somebody going to come and
Speaker 3: attack me? Things like that because they don't have the
Speaker 3: non binary bathrooms anymore as a result of this law,
Speaker 3: or they won't, you know, because they have to follow
Speaker 3: the law. I'm not sure how it's going to apply,
Speaker 3: but we travel enough to really consider those things. And
Speaker 3: the permission that people are feeling now to just verbally
Speaker 3: assault others because they're not what you want them to
Speaker 3: be is my point of concern, you know, because.
Speaker 1: If it's very interesting how people are starting to behave now,
Speaker 1: it's like, wait a second. You were always like this,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. You just freaking hit it for
Speaker 1: so long, and now people have just no problem being offensive.
Speaker 1: They don't give a fuck who they're offending, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: A sig les are flying left and right.
Speaker 1: Left and right right now. And you know, my wife
Speaker 1: had an experience with somebody who used the R word
Speaker 1: right and my wife was like please special needs. They
Speaker 1: were like no, Trump said, it's okay.
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, that's what it is. Everybody's being given permission.
Speaker 3: There's this permissive nature where people can go ahead and
Speaker 3: between doing the sick hiles and carrying their flags and
Speaker 3: you know, calling people derogatory names for whatever their gender
Speaker 3: identity is or their race or you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: it's just.
Speaker 2: Crazy. I can't help every time I see this, I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'm so glad my father isn't allowed to see this.
Speaker 2: That's the first thought that comes to my mind.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're real close to it, guys. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's starting to feel like it's starting
Speaker 1: to feel like something's gonna there's gonna be an explosion
Speaker 1: of some you know what I mean, And I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. It just feels like
Speaker 1: we're getting close to the last of it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, the last of us.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna something like that's going to have to happen,
Speaker 3: right and people are going to blow up. And what
Speaker 3: I also see is a lot of people, you know,
Speaker 3: coming together, you know, which I think is key, right
Speaker 3: because we all know that that's it's a divide and
Speaker 3: conqueror and then they can take over when it does happen.
Speaker 3: Donald that there is going to be an explosion, that's
Speaker 3: when you're going to have like your civil rights type
Speaker 3: of movement against what's happening right now.
Speaker 2: Well, let's pivot to a more positive conversation before we end. Judy,
Speaker 2: there's all these rumors of a Scrubs reboot. Nothing's confirmed,
