Speaker 4: make my way Jesus to the cell phone.
Speaker 2: What is wind hop breathing?
Speaker 4: Fully in, fully out, go with the forces of the breath.
Speaker 2: So don't do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, no, just like thirty breasts and then you

Speaker 4: Doug has seen the breath hold three and a half
Speaker 4: four minutes, No problem, no problem, That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: And that centers you, bro, That gets you ready for
Speaker 4: the day and A great way to start the morning
Speaker 4: is with that. I mean, come on, nothing better than
Speaker 4: two big glasses of lemon water, just saying.
Speaker 1: But Gavin, here's what I understand. I'll call you sometimes
Speaker 1: at ten thirty you're angry and yelling at people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sometimes it doesn't work. Some types of
Speaker 4: breathing doesn't work. Imagine if I didn't breathe, man, even
Speaker 4: ten times worse. But I mean, like into this wim
Speaker 4: Hoff stuff.
Speaker 2: I really am.
Speaker 4: I got into this. Here's the wim Hoff app I'm
Speaker 4: like all over it, bro.
Speaker 5: Mar Shaun Govin is an easy say.
Speaker 1: You know, you know that nice game back in the
Speaker 1: day that the cups where you did figure out would be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got Gav. Is easy to fool, man. We
Speaker 5: get gathered on something simple.
Speaker 2: Man, what's that the three card up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, three card monume whatever it is.
Speaker 4: No, man, I don't fall prey to that stuff.
Speaker 3: This is scientific to blab to black always to read it,
Speaker 3: always read Hey guys.
Speaker 4: By the way, I will say, this cold plunch thing
Speaker 4: is kind of waning on me a little bit. It
Speaker 4: ain't ever gotten easier. I have no idea if it's
Speaker 4: ever helped. I'm over it. A little bit.
Speaker 2: That cold plunge is that's a that's a different beast.
Speaker 2: I don't know. You say, you get up and do
Speaker 2: that in the morning.
Speaker 4: I was doing it. I was doing it like six
Speaker 4: days a week, then three days a week. Five Now
Speaker 4: I'm like back to a couple, and I like, there's
Speaker 4: it's misery.
Speaker 2: Misery, But how do you feel though?
Speaker 4: I feel like I literally, if there was ever a
Speaker 4: video of me coming out, I was like, I'm totally
Speaker 4: naked and I come out and it's pouring rain out
Speaker 4: and I just walk around my head my hands like this, Ah,
Speaker 4: I'm completely red, fantastic, completely red, completely red, and like,
Speaker 4: I'm not kidding. You can't get out of it without
Speaker 4: just feeling like a million dollars. That's why you do.
Speaker 2: Shit, I will say, though, when you get out of it,
Speaker 2: though you do.
Speaker 3: I mean the few times that I have done it,
Speaker 3: you do feel like you feel like a million bucks,
Speaker 3: for sure. But it's just that you got to have
Speaker 3: a different type of mindset to do that, and we
Speaker 3: used to have. I usually have teammates that are getting
Speaker 3: there the neck down, yeah, and they're just chilling.
Speaker 4: How long wou with being there for five minutes, ten
Speaker 4: minutes talking to him full.
Speaker 2: Cors Hey here, what's up man? That was going on
Speaker 2: the bro you see he hey, can you.
Speaker 3: Get get get another bag axen and throw that bag
Speaker 3: axen here from me?
Speaker 2: Like, man, what the fuck? Like bulls ship? What was it?
Speaker 4: What did you after every game? What did you get
Speaker 4: a massage or something? What was how'd you relax?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: My my my? My therapy was was massage? The hum
Speaker 3: I don't know the human that human touch was was different.
Speaker 3: I had a h I had a rotation of my suits. Dad,
Speaker 3: uh to give me right?
Speaker 5: Yes, by the way, yes, yes you did more?
Speaker 2: Sean No, get the fuck out of here for ye No, that.
Speaker 4: Wasn't even right, bro.
Speaker 2: Ghet the fuck out of here, my boy.
Speaker 1: Marshawn's vices were massages and some Hennessy and then he
Speaker 1: smoked a little at night and he gets some sleep
Speaker 1: after he was drug tested.
Speaker 2: After he was drug tested.
Speaker 4: By the way, do you have to pay for It's
Speaker 4: a dumb question, totally stupid questions.
Speaker 5: Isn't Masha's watching you pay for massuse?
Speaker 4: Or does a team provide that full time? Or do
Speaker 4: you have to pay extra?
Speaker 2: So how it worked?
Speaker 3: Was h you know, during the season they would have
Speaker 3: the massous come up to the facilities and you could
Speaker 3: schedule time slot for like thirty minutes. But yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean that was more so like specific, uh specific work
Speaker 3: like maybe I'm you know, I'm dealing with you know.
Speaker 2: A quad or something.
Speaker 3: Because really realistically, like I mean, considering after a game,
Speaker 3: they I think one of the trainers was like, man Monsham,
Speaker 3: going through a game is like equivalent to seven car
Speaker 3: accidents total. So I was like, God, damn, that's that's
Speaker 3: that's a lot of goddamn car accidents.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: And you you you get that in what three hours
Speaker 3: at the uh of the day, So I mean, you
Speaker 3: know that that was real important. So when you talk
Speaker 3: about you know, morning root teens and this nine and third,
Speaker 3: But my routine was more so like during the week, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean Monday through Sunday, and the whole purpose of
Speaker 3: my routine was to get me from Sunday to Sunday.

Speaker 7: have lots of different experiences to talk about in my
Speaker 7: stand up and write about in my books.
Speaker 6: And yeah, my stories.
Speaker 7: Just right when I think I'm out of material, some
Speaker 7: new wave of stories happens and then I'm like, oh,
Speaker 7: I've got to write this down or I've got to
Speaker 7: talk about this. But yeah, there's no shortage of material. Also,
Speaker 7: my material comes from me, like it's all my experience

Speaker 1: very excited you're on the show today.
Speaker 6: Oh well, thank you very much, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Guys, the governor wants to jump right into the books.
Speaker 1: We don't we need to jump right in yet, Gas.
Speaker 4: No, I care about the books. I mean, I just
Speaker 4: I'm impressed by the way you're previewing this damn book.
Speaker 4: And you talked about sexting with a governor, which then
Speaker 4: begs the damn question, Chelsea, which governor were you sexting?
Speaker 6: His name is Andrew Cuomo and he is no longer
Speaker 6: a governor.
Speaker 7: I was, how listen, guys, I was hot on the
Speaker 7: scene with Andrew Cuomo because, like many women, I was.
Speaker 7: We were dehydrated for real leadership during the COVID pandemic,
Speaker 7: and he got on television every morning fighting us with
Speaker 7: old school masculinity and which I have.
Speaker 6: It was a turn on.
Speaker 7: I liked being yelled at an angry Italian meatball submarine sandwich,
Speaker 7: and I started to develop strong feelings for him along
Speaker 7: with a lot of my friends.
Speaker 6: Everyone was God, Andrew Cuomo is sexy the way he's
Speaker 6: yelling at all of.
Speaker 2: Us what to do.
Speaker 7: And then I was like, oh, I have an advantage.
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a person, like a notable person. I'm famous.
Speaker 6: So I went on the view.
Speaker 7: I asked my PR people to put me on the view,
Speaker 7: my PR team and I was on with Whoopee and
Speaker 7: Joy Behar and they were asking me about my COVID
Speaker 7: experience and I said, you know, I told them about it.
Speaker 7: And then at the very last minute, I said, I
Speaker 7: just would like to go on the record and say
Speaker 7: that I would like to be penetrated by the Governor
Speaker 7: of New York.
Speaker 6: And then I waited, and it took about three days
Speaker 6: for me to receive a phone call from him.
Speaker 4: Three days Yes, and what was it called? Just politely
Speaker 4: saying I'm honored. What did he say? Literally? What was
Speaker 4: I mean? We say, hey, Chelsea it's Governor Cuomo.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Basically he left me a message, a voicemail, and he
Speaker 6: was like and.
Speaker 7: He's like, hello, miss Handler, this is at you Omo.
Speaker 6: And I heard from a little birdie in a tree
Speaker 6: that someone has a crush on me.
Speaker 7: And then it went from there, and then we talked,
Speaker 7: and then we made plans. We texted a bunch, and
Speaker 7: then I was going to the East Coast for like
Speaker 7: a few months because of during COVID.
Speaker 6: My family and I were going to rent a house
Speaker 6: in Maine, and I was planning on having a very
Speaker 6: hot dinner date with him. But then he ghosted me.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: That begs the question, Chelsea. If Gavin wasn't married during COVID,
Speaker 1: would you have texted him first?
Speaker 4: No, No, she's over me. She moved past me years ago, Doug.
Speaker 6: If Gavin were single, I would be hitting on him
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, I love the transfer, Chelsea.
Speaker 6: But we haven't got I'm respectful of this situation.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that, Chelsea, and by the way, so is
Speaker 4: the family. But let me ask you this. You said,
Speaker 4: you said, you said, I mean what. I can't believe
Speaker 4: I'm even following off when this question, what do you.
Speaker 4: I mean, when you say sexting, what the hell does
Speaker 4: that even mean? Is that what RFK was just doing?
Speaker 5: Junior texting?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: No, I wasn't sexting with him. I don't think I've
Speaker 7: ever sexted with anyone. I mean, that's a little lame
Speaker 7: in my opinion. No, we were saying like we were
Speaker 7: just like flirting. It wasn't like we were, you know,
Speaker 7: doing anything.
Speaker 6: Torrid or lurid.
Speaker 7: So we we just talked back and forth and I
Speaker 7: was going to go there for dinner. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 7: I want to come over and have a nice COVID
Speaker 7: friendly outdoor dinner date at the governor's mansion.
Speaker 6: And he was like, yeah, I'd like that. Let's plan that.
Speaker 6: And then I was like, Okay, should I quarantine? What
Speaker 6: do I do? He's like quarantine Schmarantine. He's like, don't
Speaker 6: worry about it. I was like, oh, interesting twist. But
Speaker 6: nothing ever came to fruition, so thankfully because he got
Speaker 6: canceled about six months later.
Speaker 5: Well, Chelsea has an NFL agent.
Speaker 1: It's evolved over the years of the social media now
Speaker 1: and nowadays these girls will just send naked pictures to
Speaker 1: players DM them and then these guys will fly them
Speaker 1: in sight unseen and sometimes it ends well, sometimes it doesn't.
Speaker 5: Cat Fish fly, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 4: At fish at its finest, What the hell is that?
Speaker 1: Even it's by the way, No, it's a big it's
Speaker 1: a big ring. There's girls out there at Chelsea that
Speaker 1: are pros and they they will trap these guys fast
Speaker 1: extortion stuff like you wouldn't.
Speaker 5: It's a whole it's a whole. Another. By the way,
Speaker 5: I could give you some good bits for material.
Speaker 1: You do some great shows just based on that stuff.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk offline.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, anyone and that is famous or a public
Speaker 7: person really shouldn't be flying anyone in that they met
Speaker 7: on a DM on Instagram. So that's that's like pretty basic.
Speaker 7: And these guys should know that by now, and you
Speaker 7: should actually let them know if they don't know already.
Speaker 7: I did send one photo to Andrew Cuomo that was questionable,
Speaker 7: actually thinking me to tell this only because the ship
Speaker 7: had sailed, I understood it wasn't happening. Like, and I
Speaker 7: came downstairs talking to my brothers and sisters. I'm like,
Speaker 7: I think I'm getting ghosted by the governor, and my
Speaker 7: sister's like, I told you nobody. No governor that's yelling
Speaker 7: at half the country to stay six feet apart is
Speaker 7: going to be able to connoiter with you in his backyard.
Speaker 6: What are you talking about? You're like one of the
Speaker 6: loudest people in the world.
Speaker 7: And so then I sent this picture of me on
Speaker 7: a vest, but I had a face mask on, I
Speaker 7: had like a helmet on, I had a bikini, and
Speaker 7: I sent it to him because I thought the thought
Speaker 7: of me somehow, like a picture of me like that
Speaker 7: getting like to his phone and accidentally transmitting through his
Speaker 7: iPad or through the computer during one of his early
Speaker 7: morning COVID briefings to see gave.
Speaker 6: Me excitement, you know, Like that made me.
Speaker 7: I was like, what if the whole world gets to
Speaker 7: see that I'm texting with him?
Speaker 6: But that didn't happen either, So you know, a girl
Speaker 6: can still dream.
Speaker 5: Well, Chelsea, we love the weed, you know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, but we had Woody
Speaker 1: Harrelson on a while ago, and me and Marshawn were
Speaker 1: the committee to get the woods in West Hollywood up
Speaker 1: and running, and so we were on the committee for that.
Speaker 1: So we appreciate your, uh, your partaking in this stuff.
Speaker 1: Like me and Marshawn do often.
Speaker 4: Elsea. I think that's kind of how we connected many
Speaker 4: moons ago when I was legalizing marijuana and California and
Speaker 4: you politely had me on your show and tried to
Speaker 4: cross pollinate me with some interesting abusers, not just users
Speaker 4: of the product.
Speaker 6: That's funny. I do remember that, Gavin. That is, we
Speaker 6: did connect on that.
Speaker 7: And also I would also like to note that Andrew
Speaker 7: Cuomo many of our conversation consisted of many of our
Speaker 7: conversations consisted of me beseeching him to legalize marijuana, and
Speaker 7: he did in the state of New York shortly after
Speaker 7: he met me. So I would like to also take
Speaker 7: credit for that.
Speaker 4: You got to take credit for that. And by the way,
Speaker 4: you're a Jersey goal right and you grew up there.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Marshawn loves Jersey. Marshawan, where's your spot in Jersey? Like,
Speaker 1: I know you go to two spots out there.
Speaker 2: He's Orange. Oh yeah, we.
Speaker 7: Used to buy weed from me Storage any Storage Growth, Yeah,
Speaker 7: that was the spot East Storage.
Speaker 4: What the hell? By the way, what the hell is
Speaker 4: the East Orange at a store? Is it is? The hell?
Speaker 4: Is this? Forgive me? New Jersey I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh shit.
Speaker 5: East Orange is near Clinton, New Jersey. Govin. It's a
Speaker 5: little suburb there.
Speaker 6: It's not far from Livingston, New Jersey, where I grew
Speaker 6: up there.
Speaker 5: Yes, you're right there, you go Govin.
Speaker 1: It's not Mont Claire, Jersey, gad and where you've probably
Speaker 1: been in some fundraiser back in the day.
Speaker 5: It's a little more hard at than that.
Speaker 4: Thank you, guys, and thank you. I'm going to hang
Speaker 4: out in Orange next that's my definitely my next stop.
Speaker 4: But not for the reasons you guys used to hang
Speaker 4: out there. By the way, Chelsea, what you grew up
Speaker 4: with a huge family, right you got You talked about
Speaker 4: your sister a second ago, but you got you got
Speaker 4: a ton of brothers and sisters, right Yeah.
Speaker 7: I'm the youngest of six kids, so I was pretty
Speaker 7: pissed when I was born. I was like, who are
Speaker 7: all these other people? Like I thought I was gonna
Speaker 7: I came up from the hospital. I was psyched to
Speaker 7: get the party started, and then I saw all of
Speaker 7: these other people taking up my parents' time.
Speaker 6: I was like, wait, what's our financial situation? Like I
Speaker 6: couldn't understand.
Speaker 7: The planning or the lack thereof of having that many
Speaker 7: children and not being like find actually set.
Speaker 6: So I grew up pretty quickly.
Speaker 7: I was like I had I had a big personality
Speaker 7: at a very young age because I just was not
Speaker 7: I wasn't buying into what they were selling. I'm like,
Speaker 7: somebody needs to organize this family, and that somebody's going
Speaker 7: to be me. So I was the boss from a
Speaker 7: very young age. And now my brothers and sisters knew that, no,
Speaker 7: that I was.
Speaker 6: I was right all along.
Speaker 4: And Chelsea, you you also just a little bourb in
Speaker 4: your book, you were kind of preview and you weren't kidding.
Speaker 4: At ten years old, you had a lemonade stand, and
Speaker 4: so talk about being a boss. You started spiking the
Speaker 4: lemonade because you got a few extra bucks and put
Speaker 4: what vodka in the damn lemonade? Is that what most
Speaker 4: is that what other ten year olds were doing?
Speaker 7: Or this was That's why I started doing it because
Speaker 7: I realized that there was a piece of the market
Speaker 7: was missing and that I could make a bigger profit
Speaker 7: margin if I sold alcohol to children and their parents.
Speaker 7: So it wasn't only vodka. I decided to start a
Speaker 7: hard lemonade stand. I did the lemonade stand for two days,
Speaker 7: and I made like fifteen dollars in two days.
Speaker 6: I'm like, this isn't going to cut it.
Speaker 7: So then I was like, Okay, let's get some gin,
Speaker 7: whiskey and tequila and we'll have a hard lemonade stand.
Speaker 4: I got.
Speaker 7: I hired another bar back who was ten years old,
Speaker 7: and the bar bank and I taught Nelson right away.
Speaker 6: I'm like, do you know how to make a whiskey soda?
Speaker 7: And then we sat on the and then the first
Speaker 7: week of our lemonade stand we made three hundred and
Speaker 7: fifty nine dollars or something rageous.
Speaker 5: And your parents did not know you were doing this
Speaker 5: with devodka and tequila.
Speaker 6: Who knows what my parents knew and did. Then they
Speaker 6: weren't my problem.
Speaker 7: I never took my parents seriously like they and they
Speaker 7: when you're the youngest of six kids, they're not taking
Speaker 7: you very seriously either.
Speaker 6: They're just happy that you're out of the house.
Speaker 7: And yeah, no one was kind of like, you know,
Speaker 7: giving me rules to follow.
Speaker 6: Growing up. I was on my own and I understood
Speaker 6: that very early on.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I made out like a bandit, and I
Speaker 7: was a business woman from ten years later.
Speaker 4: It was a true story that you you were kind
Speaker 4: of outed on all this when you were in the
Speaker 4: first class cabin and all the rest of the family
Speaker 4: was in coach when you upgraded using the money.
Speaker 7: Well, I actually started a babysitting ring after my baby,
Speaker 7: after my lemonade, Stan and I lied and called all
Speaker 7: the hotels on Martha's Vineyard. That's where we had a
Speaker 7: summer house, which makes it sound like we were really wealthy.
Speaker 6: We weren't.
Speaker 7: I don't know how my dad got that house. He
Speaker 7: was a used car dealer, so he had that house.
Speaker 6: And I called.
Speaker 7: Every hotel on Martha's Vineyard in Edgar Town and I
Speaker 7: was introduced myself.
Speaker 6: I'm like, my name is Chelsea Handler. I'm a very
Speaker 6: experienced fifteen year old babysitter. Because I always looked older,
Speaker 6: so I said, I.
Speaker 7: Was fifteen when I was ten, and I spent that
Speaker 7: summer babysitting fourteen year old boy.
Speaker 4: Ten years old with the lemonade stand. Uh So, I mean,
Speaker 4: so that does beg the question. I mean, the origin
Speaker 4: story of the why you're in the racket you're in
Speaker 4: and why you're You've got to you know your your
Speaker 4: Chelsea's at Chelsea in your Vegas and you're working on
Speaker 4: your seventh book and have had one hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: Netflix scale. I mean, you must like your It sounds
Speaker 4: like your investor in Netflix. You have more damn Netflix documentaries.
Speaker 4: But is that I mean, was this the comedy came
Speaker 4: then early as well, or did the comedy come later
Speaker 4: when the identity started to show up and you start
Speaker 4: of continued to sort of mark to the beat of
Speaker 4: your own drum.
Speaker 7: I mean, I think when you have, you know, a
Speaker 7: big family, it leans towards comedy. I mean you kind
Speaker 7: of have to laugh at the disorganization and the I mean,
Speaker 7: you have a big family, Gavin, Yours is a little
Speaker 7: probably more regulated. Your children are probably on much more
Speaker 7: of a tighter schedule than any of us.
Speaker 5: No, they're a bunch of They're chaos, just chaotic over there.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm going to check the damn lemonade stand after
Speaker 4: this conversation. I'm not even kidding. I don't trust my living. Yes,
Speaker 4: this is then again, I'm impressed and inspired at the
Speaker 4: same time. It's confusing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it was a funny.
Speaker 7: We are all funny, and we all have We're very sarcastic,
Speaker 7: and uh yeah, I guess it just was. You know,
Speaker 7: I got a lot of attention as the youngest, but
Speaker 7: I needed to I got it for the wrong reasons.
Speaker 7: I didn't like it because I was cute and I
Speaker 7: was blonde, and I liked getting attention for being precocious.
Speaker 7: I didn't like getting attention for my looks. So I
Speaker 7: was always trying to outweigh the attention that came to
Speaker 7: me naturally with like earned attention, you know. And then
Speaker 7: I decided, like when I got to school, I'm like,
Speaker 7: I'm going to be the funny one.
Speaker 6: I'm going to say the funny thing.
Speaker 7: And then it became I was just so outspoken that
Speaker 7: people would be laughing at it, whether it was funny
Speaker 7: or not, because I had such a personality on me
Speaker 7: at a young age, and I guess it veered into
Speaker 7: comedy once I had to kind of hone it into
Speaker 7: something more than just being you know, obnomgo.
Speaker 4: You remember your first time when you just were all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, just this light maybe literally figuratively, where
Speaker 4: you were like, this is what I want to do.
Speaker 4: Were you on stage? Was it in school and everyone's
Speaker 4: laughing and you did a formal routine or was there
Speaker 4: a moment where you said this is you know where
Speaker 4: you knew this would potentially be a pathway.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I actually got a DUI when I was twenty
Speaker 7: one years old in California.
Speaker 4: Marshad's laughing for a reason. That's we'll talk about that
Speaker 4: in a moment.
Speaker 6: Did you read and they get a DUI?
Speaker 2: Not recently, it was a long time ago.
Speaker 6: Okay, well copy that now. The good news is it
Speaker 6: was my first one and last one, so I learned
Speaker 6: my lesson. But they send you to.
Speaker 7: DUI school when you get a DUI and you have
Speaker 7: to go to these classes Marshawn.
Speaker 6: If you haven't been already, get ready and you have
Speaker 6: to go to.
Speaker 7: These classes where they basically tell you how to get
Speaker 7: out of your next UI. They're like, never admit to
Speaker 7: having more than or no when you get pulled over.
Speaker 6: This is how the class started. It was so ridiculous.
Speaker 6: They never admit to having anything to drink when you
Speaker 6: get pulled over by a police officer.
Speaker 7: The minute you admit it, then they drag you out
Speaker 7: of the car and they can give you a field
Speaker 7: sobriety chest. So basically every night of this class was
Speaker 7: the instructor giving us all the like the information so
Speaker 7: that he would, you know, to arm us with the
Speaker 7: information so that he would never have to see us again.
Speaker 6: And then everyone had to get up and tell their
Speaker 6: dui story.
Speaker 7: And I was, you know, the idea of public speaking
Speaker 7: made me shiver. I couldn't even imagine getting up in
Speaker 7: front of that class.
Speaker 6: So week I would just kind of like Bob and
Speaker 6: weave to a different part.
Speaker 7: Of the seating area so that he couldn't like spot me.
Speaker 6: And I was like, I'll wur my way out of this.
Speaker 7: I'm going to get through this class without talking to
Speaker 7: this class and publicly speaking. And on the very last class,
Speaker 7: like he had my number, He's like, where's Chelsea Handler?
Speaker 6: Did it A?
Speaker 7: I was twenty two or twenty one, And I got
Speaker 7: up and I told my dui story, which was ridiculous.
Speaker 7: I had driven past my house. I called the Kopp
Speaker 7: a racist. We were both white. I mean, it was
Speaker 7: just went on and on and on. I got stuck
Speaker 7: in sybil Brand Women's Prison because their computer system went down.
Speaker 7: So even though my aunt and uncle had bailed me out,
Speaker 7: I was still in there for three days. Because you
Speaker 7: couldn't get out of the system until you were put
Speaker 7: in the system. I mean in this room with like
Speaker 7: five hundred women and they were trading salami sandwiches for tampons.
Speaker 6: And I was like, oh my god, what have I
Speaker 6: and my life is over?
Speaker 7: And then finally I got out and and I went
Speaker 7: to that class, and I got up and I told
Speaker 7: my story. I told all of it and everyone was
Speaker 7: dying and they're laughing, and and finally, and I couldn't get.
Speaker 6: Off the stage. I was so scared to publicly speak.
Speaker 7: And then it turned into this like really fun vibe
Speaker 7: and fun time and I was loving myself. And at
Speaker 7: the end, the teacher came up and was like, okay,
Speaker 7: this isn't a stand up comedy class, Like you need
Speaker 7: to get off the stage.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: You're enjoying this a little too much. And all the
Speaker 7: people in the class, well not all of them, but
Speaker 7: enough of them said you should be you should do
Speaker 7: stand up like you have.
Speaker 6: You are a great storyteller.
Speaker 7: And I was like, oh, maybe I should do stand
Speaker 7: up and so I did.
Speaker 6: I did it. Like the next week, I went to
Speaker 6: the Laugh Factor.
Speaker 7: I waited in line the Laugh Factory on sunset boulevard
Speaker 7: and I waited in line for like, no, no, I
Speaker 7: got a note and I took it and and yeah.
Speaker 7: So it's like, you know, one of the worst decisions
Speaker 7: I ever made turned into one of the best decisions
Speaker 7: I've ever made.
Speaker 1: And were you That sounds like Marshaun, That sounds like
Speaker 1: my taking ambient before I went home driving and got
Speaker 1: pulled over by twelve cops Chelsea.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: And luckily I talked my way out of that. But
Speaker 1: that was not very smart. That was my one almost
Speaker 1: duy moment where it could have been pretty bad.
Speaker 6: Did you talk your way out of so?
Speaker 4: Super Bowl week is like, no, no, Doug got to
Speaker 4: answer the question, brother, She asked you a simple question.
Speaker 4: How the hell did you talk your way out of that?
Speaker 5: Did I call you gavi it?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: I didn't. I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: No, you did not call me. That doesn't work. Nice
Speaker 4: try buddy.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: So this was the stupidest thing. So it's super Bowl week.
Speaker 1: It's Monday. So super Bowl for seven days is debauchery.
Speaker 1: It's twenty hours a.
Speaker 5: Day, you're partying, you're out. It's crazy. It's not so Monday.
Speaker 1: When the super Bowl was in California, a couple year,
Speaker 1: like sixty seven years ago. It's I decided, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take one night off at Chill.
Speaker 5: I had to be up at six in the morning.
Speaker 5: I'm going home around one in the morning.
Speaker 1: So I take like a half an ambient on the
Speaker 1: way home, I'm like fifteen minutes from the city and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, okay, I'm gonna take fifteen minute drive.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ambazon kicking at thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go home, have my frosted flakes or some cereal,
Speaker 1: go to bed, get five hours and call it at night.
Speaker 1: So I get in the car and I'm going over
Speaker 1: the bridge to my house in Marine, and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, I'm like seeing UFOs coming at me.
Speaker 5: I'm going, what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 1: And so I get through the Robin Williams Tunnel with
Speaker 1: the tunnel connecting in Marine and next you know, I
Speaker 1: see lights behind me and I'm like going, dude, what
Speaker 1: is up?
Speaker 5: What is going on?
Speaker 1: So I got two hands in a wheel, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of navigating. So now I hear like sirens pull over
Speaker 1: the car, So I pull over.
Speaker 5: The next exit I get off. There's literally twelve cop
Speaker 5: cars that pull me over.
Speaker 1: They surround, They don't know what's going on, and they say,
Speaker 1: what have you been drinking?
Speaker 5: I said nothing, what you been smoking? Nothing? What you
Speaker 5: been doing?
Speaker 1: I said, look, I took like a quarter ambion. I'm
Speaker 1: heading home. And they said, well, do you realize you're
Speaker 1: going ten miles an hour in the freeway going laying
Speaker 1: the lane the lane, And they all surrounded my car.
Speaker 1: Didn't know what's going on, and so truthfully, I don't
Speaker 1: know how I talk my way out of it, but
Speaker 1: they end up driving me home, left my car there
Speaker 1: and I got off, thank god. But it was it
Speaker 1: was a pretty funny story, but it could have ended
Speaker 1: pretty badly, but thank god I got out of it.
Speaker 7: No ambient and like and Xanax and any of those
Speaker 7: sleeping pills that you want to take.
Speaker 6: The rule of thumb is you have to be where
Speaker 6: you're going.
Speaker 7: Like when you take a Xanax before a plane takes
Speaker 7: off and then fall asleep and wake up and realize
Speaker 7: that you've been on the runway for four hours and
Speaker 7: the plane has never taken off.
Speaker 6: That's a mistake. You have to until you.
Speaker 7: Are in where you are going, Like you have to
Speaker 7: wait until you are mid air and then you are
Speaker 7: free to take your xanax or your sleeping pill. Same
Speaker 7: with driving, you have to wait until you get to
Speaker 7: your destination.
Speaker 2: You sound like you got the blueprint for day.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I've done this before, obviously. I once had
Speaker 7: a friend who woke up, went out. She said she
Speaker 7: had taken an ambient. Is the worst, by the way,
Speaker 7: and I'm a pharmacologist in my opinion, but my friend
Speaker 7: once took an ambi and she said she woke up,
Speaker 7: went to her car. I found an empty pot of
Speaker 7: spaghetti in the passenger seat. Like, so she had made spaghetti.
Speaker 7: She has no idea how she went driving, and she
Speaker 7: has no idea who ate the spaghetti. I was like,
Speaker 7: it's pretty impressive that you could make spaghetti under that
Speaker 7: kind of influence.
Speaker 2: But I know.
Speaker 3: He probably was sleep walking the whole time you were
Speaker 3: talking Tilly Dale to five.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's impressive you got out of it. I mean
Speaker 7: sometimes cops are cool like that and understand that. It's like,
Speaker 7: you know, you're not a problem, you just made a
Speaker 7: stupid mistake.
Speaker 5: Well, Chelsea's speaking of food. One night, I was I
Speaker 5: think Marshaun was with me.
Speaker 1: We were getting high with Snoop and I got back
Speaker 1: to my hotel and I was so high. I literally
Speaker 1: was walking up and down the hallways and eating like
Speaker 1: waffles off the plates of other people's room service cards
Speaker 1: because I didn't.
Speaker 5: Know where I was, what was going on. I think
Speaker 5: it lasts like three days.
Speaker 7: You'd come to, like the offices of any talk show
Speaker 7: that I ever hosted, the smell of marijuana did not
Speaker 7: leave the building.
Speaker 6: For the next two and a half weeks. I have
Speaker 6: the best weed.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good experience.
Speaker 7: Then, yeah, always I love marijuana, so there's nothing that's
Speaker 7: going to knock me down. I feel like if I
Speaker 7: don't have something in my system, if I'm dead sober,
Speaker 7: it's almost like I have too much of an advantage,
Speaker 7: do you know what I mean? I have to have
Speaker 7: a little something to subdue my personality.
Speaker 1: Well, Chelsea, we're just talking about that before you got
Speaker 1: on about all these people now, like all these billionaire
Speaker 1: guys talking to all this self help stuff and like
Speaker 1: taking IDs, zone and peptides and all this stuff, and
Speaker 1: they said, what do you do?
Speaker 5: I said, truthfully, I don't do anything.
Speaker 1: I've I don't I smoked some weed, I drink I
Speaker 1: don't sleep, I don't take vitamins. I do work out occasionally,
Speaker 1: so I don't know. Maybe I got something wrong with me.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like all these guys seem to
Speaker 1: have the keys the kingdom here.
Speaker 5: But maybe I'm gonna live longer.
Speaker 4: I tell you you on any routine and all that stuff,
Speaker 4: are you like big into peptides? I do.
Speaker 7: I take a lot of stuff. I take a lot
Speaker 7: of anti aging stuff I take. I mean, I'm microdose
Speaker 7: what anything anybody has in Canada? Everything is legal. So
Speaker 7: they have great microdose mushrooms. They have great LSD. Like
Speaker 7: I ski on LSD.
Speaker 6: You take a tiny hit and you're just.
Speaker 2: Old, hold on what you mean?
Speaker 7: You skials LSD and then I've run out the door
Speaker 7: and go ski like that heightens the whole day. You
Speaker 7: appreciate nature, You look at the trees more. And same
Speaker 7: with mushrooms. They have MDMA here.
Speaker 6: That's legal.
Speaker 7: Everything's legal in Canada, so everybody should think about heading north.
Speaker 2: You can get highs.
Speaker 6: I don't get high as fuck.
Speaker 7: No no, no, she answers of other ski So I'm
Speaker 7: not irresponsible, but I like to enhance my experience.
Speaker 6: I'm a very also very good.
Speaker 7: Skier, So I know what I'm doing, so I try
Speaker 7: and you know, stay with my group and do my thing.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I love all of that stuff. I like microdosing,
Speaker 7: I like macro dosing. I like anything.
Speaker 5: What about dyah washing.
Speaker 7: I've done, That's that's what That's a special on Netflix too.
Speaker 6: Chelsea does drugs.
Speaker 7: But I have to say, you know, I talk so
Speaker 7: openly about drugs and drug use because I think there
Speaker 7: are ways to use drugs in very responsible ways. I mean,
Speaker 7: like we just discussed. This is my seventh book. I'm
Speaker 7: about to release my fifth stand up special. You know,
Speaker 7: like I'm a productive human being. I'm like, I'm contributing
Speaker 7: to society. You don't have to be a derelic because
Speaker 7: you like drugs. You can't become a drug addict, but
Speaker 7: you can definitely have fun with drugs and alcohol and
Speaker 7: still remain very responsible.
Speaker 4: Did you ever all these years have you did you
Speaker 4: ever have any problems? Did you ever feel like you
Speaker 4: were crossing that line where you were it was a
Speaker 4: little too much? Was it affecting your work? Did you
Speaker 4: ever have a moment We're like damn, yeah, in.
Speaker 7: Moments where I'm like, oh, I get better dial it in,
Speaker 7: you know, like I'm getting a little too loosey goosey,
Speaker 7: or I'm having too much fun, or I was partying
Speaker 7: a little bit too much, you know, And that's when
Speaker 7: you when you're really tired and you're working really hard,
Speaker 7: and then you add partying on top of it.
Speaker 6: That's not a great combination for me anyway.
Speaker 7: So I've always had to kind of, you know, like
Speaker 7: take those moments in and understand, Hey, I don't want
Speaker 7: to ever have to give anything.
Speaker 6: Up, So I'd rather get control of.
Speaker 7: The situation now and be a little bit more tempered
Speaker 7: with my use. But yeah, as it stands now, everything's
Speaker 7: going swimmingly.
Speaker 1: Hey, Chelsea, take me through your mental health stuff. Because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, but Marshaun famously in
Speaker 1: his last press conference in his last game said take
Speaker 1: care of your mentals, take care of your chicken, and
Speaker 1: that became kind of a huge thing in sports today
Speaker 1: in terms of that. You've been big on mental health too,
Speaker 1: in regards your podcast and everything else. Take me through
Speaker 1: your mental health Either did you have struggles with it
Speaker 1: or you just like giving out advice and help people out.
Speaker 6: No, I haven't had any like mental health struggles.
Speaker 7: I went to therapy in a big way when I
Speaker 7: was forty because it was right after the twenty sixteen
Speaker 7: election and I couldn't believe it, and I.
Speaker 6: Just I was I had a Netflix.
Speaker 7: Show, I was doing a talk show, my second one,
Speaker 7: and I was just not feeling right, you know, And
Speaker 7: so I went to therapy for the first time in
Speaker 7: a long time. Like I had so much anger that
Speaker 7: it wasn't it wasn't normal. It was like it was
Speaker 7: something else. It wasn't I couldn't just be met at
Speaker 7: Donald Trump and his veneered family, you know, like I
Speaker 7: had there was a bigger issue that I had to unpack.
Speaker 7: And my brother died when I was nine years old,
Speaker 7: and I had never really kind of spoken about that
Speaker 7: to anyone.
Speaker 6: So that's what that was.
Speaker 7: And you know, when you don't deal with something when
Speaker 7: it happens, it's delayed grief, and it builds up up
Speaker 7: and builds up and builds up, and then it hits.
Speaker 7: Whatever your trauma is will come and find you when
Speaker 7: it's you know, when it stops working for you. Because
Speaker 7: in many ways, my trauma was working for me because
Speaker 7: I was so outspoken and I was so kind of like,
Speaker 7: you know, determined, and I didn't have time for feelings
Speaker 7: because I was just on a path of success and
Speaker 7: I wanted to succeed and I loved what I was doing.
Speaker 7: And then it started to not work for me, and
Speaker 7: I started to get really angry, and you know, and
Speaker 7: unpacking that was kind of how my podcast, which is
Speaker 7: called Dear Chelsea, where real people call in for advice,
Speaker 7: because a I just think that's the best way to
Speaker 7: get advice is to get someone's opinion who's not involved
Speaker 7: in your family, your relationship, or any of the stuff
Speaker 7: that you're upset about. You need an objective point of view.
Speaker 7: And I'm a truth teller, so I always want the
Speaker 7: best for everyone, and I want to tell people the truth,
Speaker 7: even if it's hard to hear. You know, a lot
Speaker 7: of people aren't that interested in hearing the truth.
Speaker 6: But my podcast was born out of that.
Speaker 7: I just had such a great experience going to their
Speaker 7: therapy and learning about self awareness, learning about how I'm perceived,
Speaker 7: and learning what my triggers are and my shortcomings and
Speaker 7: kind of readjusting my.
Speaker 6: Personality, you know what, I mean to be a lot
Speaker 6: more loving.
Speaker 7: And kind and sensitive to other people rather than just
Speaker 7: like bull dozing my.
Speaker 6: Way and being like this is who I am.
Speaker 7: It was like, no, actually, why don't you listen and
Speaker 7: talk and find out what everyone else is like?
Speaker 6: It's not all about you.
Speaker 7: You don't have the responsibility that you have to entertain
Speaker 7: everyone all the time.
Speaker 6: And then when I.
Speaker 7: Got out of therapy, I was like, Okay, this is great.
Speaker 7: I have all of this information and knowledge and I
Speaker 7: wanted to share it with everybody.
Speaker 6: So I was like, what's the best way to do that.
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, I'll do an advice podcast, because
Speaker 7: they kept asking me to do a podcast and I
Speaker 7: was like, I don't.
Speaker 6: I have nothing new to say.
Speaker 7: And then I was like, oh, this is new, Like
Speaker 7: I'll do I'll talk to real life people who will
Speaker 7: call in like a dear Abby. So that's been really
Speaker 7: fun and it's been a huge success, so I'm psyched
Speaker 7: about that.
Speaker 6: It's like, I think we're in our fifth season.
Speaker 4: And Chelsea, did you I mean you when you say
Speaker 4: you stop therapy, literally there's no refreshers. You don't check
Speaker 4: back in every couple of months, I mean you. I
Speaker 4: mean you literally you sought something, you found it, and
Speaker 4: now you're good.
Speaker 6: No, I do have refreshers, like when I'm here in Whistler.
Speaker 7: I just talked to my therapist yesterday. When I have downtime,
Speaker 7: I take advantage of it and I find therapy like
Speaker 7: I just never wanted to be one of those people
Speaker 7: who was in therapy interminably, you know, like if you're
Speaker 7: going to therapy for sixteen years, I'm sorry, but I
Speaker 7: don't think that's working. Like you, you should be able
Speaker 7: to go for the big problems and the big issues,
Speaker 7: and then you should be able to go incrementally when
Speaker 7: something pops up and you're having a hard time with it.
Speaker 6: In my personal view, that's how I feel.
Speaker 7: But I think the funny thing, and Marshaun tell me
Speaker 7: if you guys agree with this too, is like you
Speaker 7: go to therapy, and I went pretty heavily for like
Speaker 7: two years, and I learned all this stuff right, And
Speaker 7: you have.
Speaker 6: To like take all that information and like absorb it
Speaker 6: right like you're learning. You're learning.
Speaker 7: It's like going to school, and then there's summer break,
Speaker 7: and the summer break is the time where you kind
Speaker 7: of observe everything you learned in third grade. You're like, oh, okay,
Speaker 7: I know all this information, and now it kind of
Speaker 7: lives with you. But then the third step of therapy
Speaker 7: is you have to apply all of the stuff you
Speaker 7: learned into your life while while keeping the good parts
Speaker 7: of your personality the same. So it's quite an adjustment
Speaker 7: to make because initially when I came in a therapy,
Speaker 7: I just was all of a sudden, very quiet. I
Speaker 7: go to dinner parties and people are like, why aren't
Speaker 7: you fucking talking? And I'd be like, oh, I've just
Speaker 7: you know, my therapist told me that I don't have
Speaker 7: to be the you know, center of the of the party,
Speaker 7: and I don't have my responsibility to entertain everyone. And
Speaker 7: my friends would be like, you're fucking boring, Like where's
Speaker 7: the old Chelsea?
Speaker 6: We want her back? And I'm like, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 6: she's gone. I'm like, there's a new version of it.
Speaker 6: I don't know where.
Speaker 7: And I kept auditioning like newer versions of my self
Speaker 7: to see what clicked, and then finally it all does click.
Speaker 6: But it's quite an arduous process.
Speaker 4: I love that Mark Shaun, you have any I mean,
Speaker 4: you know you've been out there preaching, but are you practicing? Brother?
Speaker 2: Oh man.
Speaker 3: It's just it's just went like with the with the
Speaker 3: new information that you get, now, you just got to
Speaker 3: be held accountable to it. And I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: I think, you know, just giving you an example of it,
Speaker 3: like you know, you got all this information and then
Speaker 3: you actually applied it.
Speaker 2: And I believe that that's how.
Speaker 3: I mean you got to the point that that you
Speaker 3: got to where you say, yeah, work, then you found
Speaker 3: the best version of yourself.
Speaker 2: So I do believe it worked.
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, and in terms of the
Speaker 3: mental health, uh situation, just like I was having a
Speaker 3: lot of teammates who I mean we uh, you know,
Speaker 3: like we want to the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl together, and I mean they got.
Speaker 3: To a dark place and some of the things that
Speaker 3: they were saying to me, you know it kind of
Speaker 3: it kind of fucked me up a little bit. And uh,
Speaker 3: just just just reminding them, like, you know, things to
Speaker 3: be thankful for. And yeah, I mean in reality, what
Speaker 3: it did for them was I mean, it brought them
Speaker 3: out of a dark place and that was able to
Speaker 3: re emerriage am out of you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: That dark cloud that there was under. So I mean
Speaker 2: I do agree with that.
Speaker 3: But it's always like that with new information, now you
Speaker 3: got to be accountable to it, and then you got
Speaker 3: to learn how to i mean process and filter through
Speaker 3: it to make it i mean the best version for yourself.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And like the gratitude piece of it is so important, right,
Speaker 7: And it sounds corny in the beginning. Wh if you
Speaker 7: hear it and you're not practicing gratitude or you don't
Speaker 7: have a gratitude journal or whatever you know people do.
Speaker 6: I'm one of the people who do it.
Speaker 7: Like, if I'm especially in a dark mood or a
Speaker 7: dark period of time or a stressful period of time,
Speaker 7: that is the first thing I do when I wake
Speaker 7: up is write down fifteen things I'm grateful for, because like,
Speaker 7: in order to be happy, you have to be you
Speaker 7: have to have gratitude and you have to be grateful.
Speaker 6: Like those two things are linked together.
Speaker 7: And it's so easy to focus on the negative things
Speaker 7: that are happening. It's so easy to get wrapped up
Speaker 7: in the news and focus on that and think the
Speaker 7: world's coming to an end. But it's so much more
Speaker 7: rewarding to actually look at all of the things in
Speaker 7: your life that are going well, look at all the
Speaker 7: people that you love, look at all the impact that
Speaker 7: you've had, and want to keep that fire burning, you know,
Speaker 7: and choose light instead of dark, especially like you know,
Speaker 7: finding optimism in the dark.
Speaker 1: Well, Chelsea, I'm curious in terms of your call in
Speaker 1: how many of them are younger people, teenagers and whatnot,
Speaker 1: because they're dealing with all the you know, all the
Speaker 1: social media stuff and they're you know, they see stuff,
Speaker 1: they all think life's great and all these stuff, and
Speaker 1: that fucks a lot of these kids up these days,
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of what they're looking at and
Speaker 1: like oh, this is great and everyone's going to beach.
Speaker 5: Somewhere and you know, in a yacht and it's like,
Speaker 5: come on, dude, scheme you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean.
Speaker 7: Yes, exactly, Sorry, guys, I just had to disrobe. It's
Speaker 7: very hot in here. My fire is burning, so my
Speaker 7: cheeks are getting very rosy.
Speaker 5: Keep it coming, Chelsea, keep it coming.
Speaker 6: I'm coming on to Marshall.
Speaker 7: And actually, yeah, no, we don't get a lot of teenagers,
Speaker 7: but we get a lot of young people.
Speaker 6: We get a lot of young people, you know.
Speaker 7: Young adults and who are really dealing with you know,
Speaker 7: being trans or being gay and their family's reaction to
Speaker 7: coming out. You know, a lot of the LGBTQ community
Speaker 7: and a lot of eating disorders, a lot of young
Speaker 7: girls who are really insecure and need a boost of
Speaker 7: confidence and need like an injection of confidence.
Speaker 6: And you know, my audience is primarily women and.
Speaker 7: Gay men, so I try to really inject confidence into
Speaker 7: every young person that I can.
Speaker 4: Have you found, Chelsea over the last I mean what
Speaker 4: you started this podcast? What in twenty twenty one?
Speaker 2: Right? Yes?
Speaker 4: So has there been Have you seen a trend over
Speaker 4: the last number of years in terms of that subject matter?
Speaker 4: Have you seen things sort of shift with the I mean,
Speaker 4: because the last these are a hell of a few
Speaker 4: years to have a podcast, right, with all the social
Speaker 4: unrest and COVID and all the anxieties, and you mentioned
Speaker 4: all the elections new elections. I mean, has there been
Speaker 4: Are you finding sort of similar themes over the course
Speaker 4: last five years?
Speaker 7: Limtly themes, but like a lot of political discontent within families, like.
Speaker 6: A lot of people who don't know how to deal.
Speaker 7: With their families, you know, who are on the opposite
Speaker 7: side of things, And that's a big, big theme, Like
Speaker 7: you know, how do I have how do I celebrate
Speaker 7: Christmas with my parents when they voted for Donald Trump
Speaker 7: and I'm a lesbian. Stuff like that is pretty prevalent.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean it has been a crazy you.
Speaker 6: Know, that's what's amazing.
Speaker 7: Like I remember thinking the world was over when Trump
Speaker 7: was elected in twenty sixteen, and here we are now
Speaker 7: again and it's happening again, and it's like, I don't
Speaker 7: feel the same way I felt, like, yes, I hate this,
Speaker 7: it totally sucks. But I don't think the world is over.
Speaker 7: I think the world is too big to be over
Speaker 7: anytime soon. I think there's too many things that.
Speaker 6: Are working well.
Speaker 7: You know, while there are things that aren't going well,
Speaker 7: there are many things that are and it's our job
Speaker 7: to highlight those things and really stay focused and positive
Speaker 7: for the people that can't really bring themselves to do that.
Speaker 4: You know, I love it. I mean, it's the only
Speaker 4: attitude to have right now. And it's the resilient mindset.
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking of mindset just generally and sort
Speaker 4: of end of a year, turning the page forget elections.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the year, beginning of a
Speaker 4: new year, are you a new Year's resolution person?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 4: I mean you talk about morning journals on gratitude. Do
Speaker 4: you lay out or have you done that over your career?
Speaker 4: Set specific goals. Are you one of those goal oriented people?
Speaker 4: What do you tend to do in terms of just
Speaker 4: setting out as a plan for your own life.
Speaker 6: I don't really give a shit about New Year's resolutions.
Speaker 7: I mean, I just find all of that to be
Speaker 7: so silly, Like, if that works for you, do it.
Speaker 7: But for me, it's not like one day I'm going
Speaker 7: to become a different person.
Speaker 6: Every day.
Speaker 7: It is intentionally meant for me to act and in
Speaker 7: my best interest, in everyone's best interest, you know, to
Speaker 7: be a good person, to be loving, to be generous,
Speaker 7: to be kind, to really see people you know, and
Speaker 7: because there's so many people who feel unseen, and I
Speaker 7: find that to be the most heartbreaking thing about our society.
Speaker 6: So many kids and so many young adults.
Speaker 7: That just they feel invisible, they don't feel like anyone's
Speaker 7: out for them. So I like to focus my energy
Speaker 7: on that and a lot of other people. But I
Speaker 7: find that, you know, things work differently for different people, obviously,
Speaker 7: like New Year's resolutions. Know, like I wouldn't even know
Speaker 7: what my New Year's resolution would be, but I don't
Speaker 7: feel the need to even have one you know what
Speaker 7: I mean, because I'm always getting better. I'm going to
Speaker 7: be fifty this year, like my level of joyfulness is
Speaker 7: here when it.
Speaker 6: Used to be here.
Speaker 5: Where's the party, Chelsea? Are we invited at her book party?
Speaker 4: I'll have what she's having.
Speaker 6: It's going to be in Spain. It's going to be
Speaker 6: in New York.
Speaker 7: This book comes out on my fiftieth birthday, so I'll
Speaker 7: be having a book party.
Speaker 6: In New York. There will be one in La. I'm
Speaker 6: going to go for it, and this whole year, I'm
Speaker 6: just going to crush it because I'm people to know
Speaker 6: how joyful iterations and.
Speaker 7: To be crushing it in this way, you know, like
Speaker 7: I feel and look better than I have in my
Speaker 7: entire life. So I want to reclaim that number because
Speaker 7: obviously it doesn't mean what it used to when my
Speaker 7: parents were fifty.
Speaker 6: They could have wrapped it up. You know.
Speaker 7: I'm getting started in my second act, so I'm pretty
Speaker 7: pumped up about it.
Speaker 5: Did you imagine I love that Chelsea was.
Speaker 2: Your ten year old self.
Speaker 4: Did your ten year old self ever see you where
Speaker 4: you are at fifty? I mean at forty? I imagine
Speaker 4: you didn't see where you were at fifty when you were.
Speaker 7: Struggling, my ten year old self would be really psyched.
Speaker 7: In the book, I write a letter to myself as
Speaker 7: a young girl, saying, like what I dream that I
Speaker 7: would become as a woman Like that I would be bold,
Speaker 7: that I would be confident, that I would travel the world,
Speaker 7: that I would never get married, that I'd have tons of.
Speaker 6: Lovers all over the world. All of those things are true.
Speaker 7: Like I have lived this life that has exceeded any
Speaker 7: of my expectations.
Speaker 6: I have so much fun. I get to come up
Speaker 6: to my house and whistler for four months during winter.
Speaker 6: I bought a house in Spain. I learned Spanish. I
Speaker 6: learned how to ski like a pro.
Speaker 7: Like anything I've set my mind to, I've accomplished, and
Speaker 7: I want everyone to know, like things get better when
Speaker 7: you start caring less about everything else. Right, Everyone says, oh, fifty,
Speaker 7: you feel so much more confident, blah blah blah. But
Speaker 7: it's more than that. It's like, I don't date losers anymore.
Speaker 7: I don't have time for any of that. I only
Speaker 7: date men who are going to enhance my life and
Speaker 7: be an additive. I only do things that are going
Speaker 7: to bring me joy and create joy for others like
Speaker 7: you become selfish, but in the best way, because when
Speaker 7: you're having a good time, especially someone who's on stage
Speaker 7: performing in front of people all the time, if I'm
Speaker 7: in a good mood, then it's so much easier to
Speaker 7: spread that joyfulness.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 5: I freaking love you. You are a mar Sean.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, we got to take a
Speaker 1: little boondog out of Spain, Marshan.
Speaker 5: I mean, Chelsea, I.
Speaker 4: Thought it was you're going up to Canada and now
Speaker 4: you're off to Spain.
Speaker 5: Well, my wife's from Canada.
Speaker 6: The LSD is legal in Spain as well.
Speaker 4: Just let you guys, unbelievable, d U I s LSD.
Speaker 4: You know the hell? Is this a bit?
Speaker 5: Chelsea? I want to ask you a question, Chelsea.
Speaker 1: I am a father of two rockstar girl athletes and
Speaker 1: a son too. But I got two great volleyball players.
Speaker 1: I got one plane in college and I got another
Speaker 1: one in high school. That's a great beach and indoor player.
Speaker 1: So you got you love women's sports. His big advocate.
Speaker 1: Don't you own a volleyball league or an investor?
Speaker 2: I own one?
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I'm an investor. I invested in love volley ball.
Speaker 7: That's going to be huge though, So I'm psyched. You
Speaker 7: said your daughter plays volleyball.
Speaker 1: One of my well, my oldest daughter plays at cal
Speaker 1: Poly indoor, and then I got my freshman who's a
Speaker 1: badass beach and indoor player as well. So I'm a
Speaker 1: volleyball dad through and in fact more uncle more Shaan
Speaker 1: has been in many of the games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, cute, most definitely definite and support.
Speaker 7: I mean it is growing so fast, female volleying, women's
Speaker 7: volleyball is the fastest growing sport right now.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a it's a it's a funny sport. They
Speaker 1: are athletes. It's credible athleticism by the way it is.
Speaker 1: In fact, beach volleyball is the fastest growing college sport,
Speaker 1: and indoor volleyballs you know from obviously college level and
Speaker 1: pro level is taken off like nuts. And it's fun, dude,
Speaker 1: It's a fun sport, man.
Speaker 5: I love it.
Speaker 4: Well, it's fun to see the girls, especially girls volleyball
Speaker 4: just well guys, but the energy in the camaraderie just
Speaker 4: you know, even if you miss a shot, everybody is
Speaker 4: like all huddled up, and you know, my kids are
Speaker 4: just getting into a Doug's by the way, Doug Doug,
Speaker 4: you may be he's short selling that you've got. He's
Speaker 4: got potentially two Olympic athletes. It's ridiculous. He's his own agent.
Speaker 4: He's already got an NF nil deal. Crazy is that
Speaker 4: men's volleyball?
Speaker 6: I don't think I've ever seen that.
Speaker 4: It's a good point. It's a good point.
Speaker 5: No, No, there is there no men's Olympic volleyball.
Speaker 1: And obviously high school in LA is very big for men,
Speaker 1: and then college is like twenty schools that are really
Speaker 1: good and like Long Beach State, UCLA, Ohio State or
Speaker 1: Epic and obviously the Olympics, and then Beach volleyball the
Speaker 1: guys are good too.
Speaker 5: So it's it's fun, it's a great sport.
Speaker 4: I love it so by the way, so speaking of Epic,
Speaker 4: just because I got it, sort of build on this, Chelsea.
Speaker 4: I mean, I love New Year's Resolutions aside, but it's
Speaker 4: it's not patronizing to say, because you kind of implied
Speaker 4: it yourself. How you feel is your rolling into fifty
Speaker 4: years old and feeling like you've you've accomplished so much
Speaker 4: and you've had per and meeting I think behind it
Speaker 4: because you consistently and I think that's one of the
Speaker 4: things that I really identify with you. You don't just entertain,
Speaker 4: You're not just funny, but you educate. And there's always
Speaker 4: been sort of a sober relationship to guests you've had
Speaker 4: on all your shows and your documentaries talking about substance
Speaker 4: of issues and meaningful issues. Obviously a podcast that lends
Speaker 4: so much to so many, but it's you know, are
Speaker 4: the things left and the agenda? I mean, do you
Speaker 4: have a goal that you haven't achieved? Do you have
Speaker 4: a mindset around goal setting? Is there another Netflix series
Speaker 4: that you that's on the horizon that you've always wanted?
Speaker 4: Are the things you feel like? You know you're not
Speaker 4: there yet, but you know one day you're going to
Speaker 4: get you know, Mission Impossible six A co star. I mean,
Speaker 4: what what what what's out there that you haven't attained
Speaker 4: or what are you looking forward to most in the
Speaker 4: next decade.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm mostly I don't have plans. I don't
Speaker 7: make like five year plans. I don't think like you know,
Speaker 7: I don't like being told what to do by a
Speaker 7: lot of people. So that's why I kind of do
Speaker 7: my own thing.
Speaker 3: A lot.
Speaker 7: I do my stand up, I release a special every tour.
Speaker 7: I write my own books, and I do my podcast
Speaker 7: and when I had my shows, you know, I've been
Speaker 7: given a lot of license in my creative endeavors. And
Speaker 7: now when I'm fifty, I'm like, Okay, I'm ready to
Speaker 7: try some new stuff, Like I'm ready to do some
Speaker 7: more acting. I'm ready to do some more like stuff
Speaker 7: that I haven't been known for, but only with myself
Speaker 7: in charge, you know what I mean. I'm not I'm
Speaker 7: not interested in like I have to have a voice
Speaker 7: in everything I do. I have to be have a
Speaker 7: hand in writing everything I do. I'm not really for
Speaker 7: sale or for hire.
Speaker 6: In that way that is traditional.
Speaker 7: It's just doesn't It doesn't serve me well when I
Speaker 7: have any man or woman telling me what to do.
Speaker 7: Although I would take it more easily from a woman,
Speaker 7: but I just don't. I don't need it, do you
Speaker 7: know what I mean? Everything's fine for me financially. It's
Speaker 7: not like I have to work. I only want to
Speaker 7: do things that are going to spread joy and laughter
Speaker 7: and sunshine. That is all I'm interested in doing, and
Speaker 7: my pursuit for that, whether it's career or personal.
Speaker 6: I feel like those two things are just so you know,
Speaker 6: dovetailed in my life.
Speaker 7: Like I work really hard and then I vacation really hard.
Speaker 7: And I take having fun very seriously, like I think
Speaker 7: part of my profession is being fun.
Speaker 6: Like I feel like it is professional to be fun.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Oh, you and Marshawn are twins, and Marshaw says, but
Speaker 1: it's not a hell yet. It's a hell fucking no, marsh.
Speaker 6: I feel totally totally.
Speaker 7: It's like I don't want to have long conversations about
Speaker 7: doing anything or committing to anything.
Speaker 6: I know instinctively what's what's going to work for me
Speaker 6: and what's not.
Speaker 7: Although I did just get an opportunity which I can't
Speaker 7: talk about that really has me excited.
Speaker 6: My agents just brought me something and they're like, this is.
Speaker 7: A really good use of your time. And I was like,
Speaker 7: oh my god, how long would this take? And they're
Speaker 7: like four weeks and I'm like, okay, so I can't
Speaker 7: take But it's again, it's something I haven't done yet.
Speaker 6: Because I'm fifty.
Speaker 7: It's like I've got all the things I want. I
Speaker 7: managed to not get married, not to have any children,
Speaker 7: so that's a home run.
Speaker 6: Okay, I'm both ry your.
Speaker 4: What is your opposition of marriage?
Speaker 6: By the way, just don't want to be tethered to
Speaker 6: any one person.
Speaker 7: I don't want to have to consult with anyone about anything.
Speaker 7: You know, if I want to get up and go
Speaker 7: to Abu Dhabi one morning, I don't want to do that.
Speaker 6: But if I do, I don't want to talk to
Speaker 6: anyone about it. I just want to go.
Speaker 7: I don't want to have anyone telling me what their
Speaker 7: opinions of my behavior is or if I should be
Speaker 7: away for this long.
Speaker 6: I'm just fiercely independent and and I love that.
Speaker 7: So now I'm going to flex some muscles that I
Speaker 7: probably haven't flexed yet since you know, I've had such
Speaker 7: a good time here on earth and in my life,
Speaker 7: and now I'm mature and responsible. So I think this
Speaker 7: year I will take on some things I haven't done before.
Speaker 7: I want to challenge myself a little bit more.
Speaker 4: Marshawn, you're shaking your head.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's be I like that.
Speaker 1: By the way, Marshaan is I'm not married, doesn't have
Speaker 1: kids either. He doesn't want you to be telling any
Speaker 1: what to do either.
Speaker 4: That's why I said, he's shaking his head, Doug, and
Speaker 4: you and I are shaking our heads, maybe in a
Speaker 4: different direction.
Speaker 2: We have a very different bath.
Speaker 1: Well, thankfully, Chelsea, thankfully I have a wife. Was cool
Speaker 1: as shit, and she let me do what I need
Speaker 1: to do, which is pretty damn nice. So I but
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm with you, I never had a
Speaker 1: girlfriend in my entire life until I met my wife
Speaker 1: because I was said, why would someone buy somebody present
Speaker 1: or want to call somebody if they're not going to
Speaker 1: marry them. That's the girl. I'm not going to fuck around,
Speaker 1: cheat and all that. So like, I never never had
Speaker 1: a girlfriend ever until I met my wife. And then
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god. Then I met her and
Speaker 1: I'll make us over and we've been married happily for
Speaker 1: twenty four years. But I never had that. I was
Speaker 1: you for my entire life until I was thirty one,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 5: Gonna do no one could tell me what to do.
Speaker 5: Fuck that, I'm doing my own thing.
Speaker 1: And then I met her, I'm like, Okay, I got
Speaker 1: I can have the best of both worlds, right, Marshawn.
Speaker 6: That's great, And also listen, no offense to anyone who
Speaker 6: wants children or wants to be married. Go for it,
Speaker 6: Go get a baby if you want one. I just
Speaker 6: know that's not for me.
Speaker 7: And I think it's also really important for people to
Speaker 7: know when they're not cut out for parenting, because you're
Speaker 7: doing the world a favor by not becoming a parent,
Speaker 7: you know, and also freeze you up to be generous
Speaker 7: to a whole slew of children in your life. I
Speaker 7: have nine nieces and nephews. I have tons of kids
Speaker 7: in my life. I wouldn't have all those kids in
Speaker 7: my life if I had become a parent, I wouldn't
Speaker 7: have had the bandwidth.
Speaker 1: Hey, Chelsea, give me give me two comedians you would
Speaker 1: pay to see.
Speaker 5: Give me two that you like.
Speaker 1: I have to go and maybe maybe you've already seen it,
Speaker 1: but that are out there right now, young old whatever
Speaker 1: that you would go line up to go see tomorrow.
Speaker 2: H Yah.
Speaker 6: Monika Saunders, she's hilarious.
Speaker 7: She opens for me on the road sometimes and she's
Speaker 7: one of the funniest people I've ever met.
Speaker 6: And rosebud Baker, Okay.
Speaker 4: All right, what makes what makes them so good? What's
Speaker 4: unique about them?
Speaker 7: Well, Yamnica's funny because she just gets up and yells
Speaker 7: at white people for just being white and why why
Speaker 7: like she she and it's not it, and it's it's
Speaker 7: very thoughtful and educated, and it's like I'm always trying
Speaker 7: to like show my audience the whole world, you know,
Speaker 7: not just like what being a white, middle aged blonde
Speaker 7: woman is.
Speaker 6: Like I want a full spectrum of experience.
Speaker 7: And she's somebody we couldn't have come from more opposite
Speaker 7: backgrounds or have different it have had different experiences, but
Speaker 7: she is someone who really lays it out in such
Speaker 7: a great entertaining way for people, just so that white
Speaker 7: people can kind of take a look at themselves and
Speaker 7: look at their part, especially white women, you know, look
Speaker 7: at their part in what happened in this election, look
Speaker 7: at their part in society.
Speaker 6: Look how just clueless we can be.
Speaker 7: And she does it in a hilarious way, like it's
Speaker 7: an indictment on white people, and I love it. Mnika
Speaker 7: Saunders Instagram. I mean, you'll get a flavor of what
Speaker 7: I'm talking about. And rosebud Baker is a writer on SNL,
Speaker 7: but she's a great stand up and she's really sharp,
Speaker 7: really funny, her grandfather was James Baker.
