I'm Dr. Lorie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the US elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better
and that we can be better.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!
Freedom!

Freedom!
Freedom!
Ow!
Goddamn! Goddamn! Freedom! Ow. Ugh. Ah.
Ugh.
God damn.
Welcome to Freedom,
the show where we sing freedom really loud.
Yeah, that's what we do and that's all we do.
We do that and we talk about naps and farts.
And now that we've done it, goodbye.
Forever. See ya later.
We're getting so close to the end of our season.
Are you guys sad?
No.
You said you're gonna have a little bit of time off
where you're not gonna be talking to us all the time?
I'm so excited.
To not talk to us, Scott.
Cool. What?
I'll talk to some of you.
People, listen, Scott, people think we're talk to some of you. People, listen Scott,
people think we're friends in real life.
Don't fuck that up.
Gotta keep up the facade.
It's our whole gimmick.
Paul, you got the Radio Shack hat that you posted about?
Yeah, let me tell you something.
I made fun of this hat online,
and then this little son of a bitch named Kevin Bartelt
bought it for me and sent it to my house
where my wife sleeps. Where my wife sleeps, where my children play with their toys.
Wow.
That was generous of Kevin.
Somehow he's got a lot of money now.
Is it generous to do something for someone they don't want you to do?
But now you're wearing it, it actually looks good.
Well, I'm wearing it because I can't lie, it does look good.
It looks good.
It's actually a nice hat.
It's a hat that says Radio Shack.
Do I want to endorse Radio Shack?
Aren't they out of business?
So who cares?
No, they're not.
They're still around.
Oh, they're still selling hats now?
That's the worst name for a store
that is supposed to be technologically advanced.
They only thought radios.
They thought those were the end of the line.
No, the Shack door.
Nothing would be advanced after them. Oh, oh, okay thought those were the end of the line. No, the shack. Oh, okay.
Radios, now we have computers. I remember going to Radio Shack as a kid and it was just so gray in
there. All technology used to be gray. See, Lauren, you missed the brown period of America
when everything was brown and tan. Okay, so then it became gray to be like, now it's really cool. Yes, now it's the future.
Yeah.
So everything is gray.
But when I was a kid, it was like-
The seven days were earth tones, yeah.
Yes, earth tones, everything-
Orange, brown.
Everything was carpeted.
Everything you could imagine.
Gross yellow, everything carpeted, yeah.
Yes.
I've heard of that.
But brown, wood everywhere, wood everywhere.
I don't think that palette is that bad, actually.
I don't hate it, personally. Too much brown, though. What would you say that palette is that bad, actually. I don't hate it personally.
Too much brown, though.
What would you say the palette is now?
White?
Good question.
I guess white.
Neutrals, like you'll be like...
White, off-white, eggshell.
Like, um, like...
Cream.
Tan.
Yeah.
Beige.
Everyone, like, is...
Ecrou.
Everyone likes to, uh, act like, you know, the style is minimalism, open space, all white.
I don't like that.
I want to have maximalism.
I want to have a lot of shit.
I want a lot of crazy patterns and colors, baby!
Here's what I want!
I want the walls of my home to be decorated with tattoo art!
Yes!
That's all I've ever wanted.
My cousin's tattoo art! Yes, no, I said my Tysons. But it could be your with tattoo art. Yes. My Tyson's tattoo art.
My cousin's tattoo art.
Yes, no, I said my Tyson's,
but it could be your cousin's as well.
Scott, you're shaking your head, Scott.
You're shaking your head.
What is your cousin's tattoo art?
Weirdly enough, I've been doing a lot of research
about this lately in the 90s,
where there was so much stuff everywhere
and all the walls were different colors and stencils
and even couches had patterns and it's just too much.
That's also ugly.
Too much lava lamps everywhere.
You can still be classy with pattern.
Yeah. Ah.
The Pretzel Gang talk about patterns.
Now it's in your head.
You got it in your head.
Is Josh and me writing these summaries or no?
I mean, that's like that's the question.
We don't even know.
Josh is off to East Jabip going on some walkabout
having a vision quest.
And then we're here.
I think what it is is Josh is out of town for two weeks.
But I'm acting as though he's not going to be able to do anything when he comes back.
Did Josh go to space with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos?
I saw, I think that there's like a change.org position
to get Jeff Bezos to stay in space.
Who would pay, what was it, $37 million
to go to space for 11 minutes?
I guess a guy who's a trillionaire.
Oh, yeah.
11 minutes, so what, you go up, walk around, come back? Walk around. Wait, wait, wait, 11 minutes, so what you go up, walk around, come back?
Walk around.
Wait, wait, wait.
11 minutes in heaven?
Whoa.
With gelling up Bezos?
Is that going up Bezos someone?
Yes, he's going up there to make out.
Is it Bezos or Bezos?
Can we just figure it out?
It's Bezos.
It's Bezos.
It's like the inner space ride at Disneyland.
We've talked about that.
Yes, it's Jeef Bezos.
Jeef Bezos?
Jeef Bezos.
And what he wants to do, he's a bounty hunter from the
point of Dr. Ene. I'm old enough to remember when Amazon was a school book website.
Jeef Bazaas, by the way, is not that far off from most Star Wars names.
No, it's not. It's a good Star Wars name. I mean, Saul Guerrera, which is basically
just Shay Guerrera. Or Saul Guerrero, his friend. Oh yeah. His friend.
His best buddy.
They were in homeroom together.
Lauren, would you-
Did you guys, Lauren, I wanted to ask,
did you watch-
I probably have the same question, go ahead, Scott.
Okay, we'll say it together.
Yes.
Three, two, one.
Did you watch- Did you watch
Nicole on Celebrity Dating Game?
Nicole on Celebrity Dating Game.
No, I taped it and I haven't gotten to watch it yet.
Is it good?
It's funny, yeah.
I can't wait.
That show is so many layers of ridiculous
that I don't even know what to do with it.
How similar is it to the regular dating game
and who are the celebrities that are on it?
So it's hosted by Zoe Deschanel and Michael Bolton.
Already I'm going, what?
Already I'm saying who, what, where, when, why?
And then it's-
Obviously in front of Scott and Michael Bolton,
great choice.
Well, he is funny.
I mean, well, from his Valentine's Day special,
I know that.
I only watched the first 10 minutes of the show,
the one where they had Hannah Brown from The Bachelorette
as the celebrity contestant.
So the-
The difference is, is the-
How many dating shows does she get to go on?
Jesus. I know. Exactly.
The difference is, is the person picking
from the three people behind the wall
is a celebrity this time,
and the people behind the wall do not know
who the celebrity is.
Oh, so it's celebrities dating regulars?
I know. Yeah.
But I wondered if there was any intel.
Strange.
I wondered if there was any intel you had
of how the date went.
Oh, I should find out.
Okay, well I'll text her and ask.
Maybe by the end of the show,
we'll get a little bit of an update on that.
And if they went on a second date and the show paid for it.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Did I tell, have I talked about when I went on the,
or auditioned for the dating game when I was 18?
No.
No, you sure have not.
And here we go.
Story commencing now.
Okay, so my good, my really good friend at the time,
Frank Martinez, the guy who cut my hair,
he- That's right, you give him your first look.
He said we should go on the dating game.
We would watch the dating game at his apartment
and he was like, we gotta go.
And we can win a trip to wherever they would give trips to.
Hawaii usually.
Actually, a year after this story takes place,
I started dating a girl who went on the dating game
as the person you picked and went to Hawaii and never spoke to her date ever
on the trip to Hawaii, just hung out with the chaperone.
Having to go on the date, having to go with the date
to Hawaii seems like a tall order.
Yeah, exactly, but they send a chaperone
so that you're not stuck with some weirdo who assaults you.
And so she just-
I hate the whole thing.
But it was a woman chaperone.
I like parts of it.
She just hung out with the chaperone the entire time.
Okay, so that was...
I love chaperones.
Yes.
So...
That's my kink.
So Frank and I were like...
Are chaperones cucks?
Now this is a great philosophical question.
Are all chaperones cucks by their very nature?
Because even if you're a chaperone at a school dance,
you're just watching people grind. That's right. And the chaperone cucks by their very nature. Because even if you're a chaperone at a school dance, you're just watching people grind.
That's right.
And the chaperone traditionally is somebody
who wants to be with the person or people.
They're chaperoning.
I don't, I mean, if I were a chaperone,
I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind
personally, but.
Hey, hey, if I was a chaperone,
I don't see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind.
I don't think you're gonna be selected as a chaperone
anytime soon with that kind of attitude.
All right.
Hey, I'm Scott.
I don't know anyone at this
school, but I don't see anything wrong with a little bump and grind.
Okay. Just trying to apply to be a chaperone all over the school system.
So Frank, Frank was really adamant and I was kind of like, well, Frank is my good friend.
Frank the barber. He was really adamant. And Frank, by the way, I should mention Frank
was and probably is a really good looking guy.
Like all the women we hung out with constantly liked him.
They probably still is.
Yeah.
Frank can't say for sure.
So he had the confidence of someone
who was gonna go on dating game and do well.
And I was like, you know, he wanted me to come along for moral support or whatever, or he genuinely thought I might do well.
But I feel like I sabotage my chances because I dress like Morrissey.
Essentially, I wear a cardigan and these big late 80s giant working girl glasses.
Wow. What? Working girl glasses. Like Sally, Jesse, Rapha girl glasses. Wow. What? Working girl glasses?
Like Sally Jessie Raphael glasses?
Yeah, exactly.
So, but not color, not like red, you know.
No, no, no, like kind of you'd wear to an office.
Yeah, yeah.
So we go there and they put us in a room
with like 25 guys and they have a woman behind a partition
who's asking us questions and we do it three at a time.
And so I'm like third, I think I'm bachelor number three.
So this is this is practice is like the audition.
So like, this is the audition behind the thing.
It's like, it's like some some guy who's actually going like, what would you take?
Right?
That's what we're thinking. Right. So we, we, uh, she asks, uh,
bachelor number one, she goes, if you could have any key, what would the key be that you could have?
And he goes, the key to your heart, you know, in that kind of masculine way. And she goes,
my heart doesn't have a key bachelor number one. And he implodes. He goes, well, I would then, I would lock your heart up
and I would tie you up with chains.
Oh, what the fuck?
Tie you up and put you in my basement and lock you away.
And I would have the key.
He just has a total fucking meltdown.
Jesus.
And I forget what I said.
I forget.
I like a key to a Mazda for the door.
I'm dressed like Morrissey and I'm wearing working girl glasses.
So it doesn't matter what I say.
Box of diaries.
I imagine I did relatively well in the talking part of it, but there was no way I was going to get cast looking the way I looked.
Because everyone, this is 1988 and everyone is wearing like super open shirts and is huge.
Oh my god. Can you believe you had to be in that time?
Yeah. So the only other thing that I remember
is finally when they revealed who was behind the partition.
And they opened up the partition,
and it was a really beautiful woman, and everyone applauded.
Like, whoa, we never expected.
She did it.
What a fucking weird life that whole,
that's all insane, that's insane.
Yeah, needless to say, I never got on
and neither did Frank, weirdly enough,
cause I thought he was a good looking guy, but.
Oh, well, I think I've told you about when I auditioned
for America's Next Top Model when I was in college.
What?
No.
No.
No.
What the fuck is going on here today?
I think I told you about this insane thing
that you would remember for the rest of your life.
I've definitely told it on some podcasts,
but I was in college, I was fresh,
no, I was a sophomore in college,
and they were having like an open call
for America's in Chicago in
Chicago. Okay. And my friend, my roommate was like, you got to go do this. Just go.
So like, had you ever modeled before and why did you think you should do it? Um,
because I'm skinny. I think that was like the whole thing. Basically. It was kind
of like, just go, maybe you'll get on. You'll be like the comedian who's like a
model or something. It'll be weird. It's like an basically. It was kind of like, just go, maybe you'll get on, you'll be like the comedian who's like a model or something.
It'll be weird.
It turns out there's no such thing.
It's like an angle.
Yeah, yeah.
There was, I remember like in the second season
or something, basically a total dorky girl
who just happened to be tall and skinny
and they just glammed her up and she was like-
Well, yeah, they always have one of those.
She suddenly had this like sexual liberation
where she cheated on her boyfriend in a hot
Tub and was like I think you know like I she was a nerd who had never been considered pretty before or whatever
So yeah, I can see this. Yeah, okay, so fuck you
But yes, they do they often do have like people who are just kind of gangly who like have no idea what to do with
Their bodies and then they're somehow on the show and so you know it's not totally all the realm of possibility.
Yeah, is what you told yourself.
Yeah, well I was like, I don't even, so we took some pictures around our apartment.
Oh, do you still have them?
Yes I do.
Oh wow.
Please post them to the Insta.
I'm not going to post them because I'm in a bikini.
Oh.
Ooh la la la.
I know you had to do a bikini picture, but I was being funny because I couldn't help
myself and I couldn't be normal.
So I had, I do that.
How are you?
How are you?
How can you be funny in a bikini?
How are you funny?
Blow drying my hair and making a face.
But standing in the tub.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm electrocuting myself.
Funny.
Is that funny?
So I don't know if they ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm electrocuting myself That might have gotten me deep
Is that funny?
So I don't know if they ever, well the way that it went
You don't know if they ever even opened your envelope?
Well I don't know if they did because I
I don't know if they ever saw the pictures because
I had to go in person, it was like a cattle call
And so I went
to this hotel downtown
in Chicago and I
was, my friend came with me at first,
but then she had to leave.
They only would let people stay if you were auditioning,
because there were just hundreds of people there.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So, what a racket.
It's top model, not top friends.
Yeah.
What a racket though, to be like,
hey, come to a hotel.
I want beautiful women to come to a hotel.
Yeah.
Okay, Harvey Weinstein.
And give me pictures of them in bikinis.
So I sat, I like went up into this big ballroom where you had to fill out some forms and wait
to get put in a given number.
I hear my promise, I will be a model if I am selected.
Yeah, I had to raise my right hand.
I will uphold the duties.
Put it over my chest or I don't know what it was.
So then I sat down on the floor and I was filling these forms.
I remember talking to some other girl for a while while I was there.
And then we had to, we eventually numbered up and you had to get in line and they had
us walk in a line going to this other big sort of ballroom events.
It wasn't even that big.
It was kind of dark and weird.
It was like this weird big empty room, like a meeting room.
And they had us line up around the perimeter of the room.
Like girl style.
But we were basically front to back.
My chest was to someone's back.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like we were in a line.
Oh, okay.
And no, but I'm saying we weren't facing out.
We weren't facing out. And they also said, they kept saying, get closer together, get closer. Oh, okay. And no, but I'm saying, So you weren't side by side. we weren't facing out.
And they also said, they kept saying,
get closer together, get closer, run, run.
You couldn't run, it was one inch between.
Run, run.
They were saying like, they were just being mean.
They were like, run, like get closer together,
like, and like squish in as much as you could.
So you basically were touching the person
in front of you, like their back.
And then you turn your head out.
And once they had, this is it.
Are you running in a circle?
Well they were saying run like
get rid of the gaps.
Let's go. Get in there.
There was no ability to run.
I was one inch away from the person.
Squish together, I'm losing my erection.
So there were
these like three or four
judge people. don't they
weren't from the show I mean I they weren't it wasn't Tyra no judging
Judge Joe Brown Judge Reinhold Judge Dredd and so we like then they would
pass a mic around the room and then you had to turn your head out from your perfectly sideways body
and say your name, age, height, and weight.
And I remember-
All at the same time?
They all said it at the same time.
Yeah, and then they were like,
we got a couple of girls in here.
But they would be zooming a camera in
across the room on each person as this happened.
And I remember it being really weird
because there were a lot of girls there
who were like five, four, and I was like,
this was before they changed the rules.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot about that.
Cause there was a rule about height.
So I kept, I was standing there going,
this is not even fair.
Like that, I'm squished in here.
And like half these people aren't even tall enough
to get on.
Like it's just like ridiculous.
And besides being tall is your thing on. Like it's just like ridiculous. Yeah.
And besides being tall is your thing.
Well, it's just only mine, just me.
And then they picked the, they go like, okay, number 42,
120, 35, whatever.
And then like, that was it.
They picked like a few people from it.
And then they got a whole new batch coming in.
And that was the end of my journey.
And that was it.
Oh my God.
But you had a video package, right? When you look back on your journey.
Yeah. It's so compelling. And it also, your story was also reminding me, I auditioned to be a model
when I was in high school with my friend. My friend wanted to do it. And so she asked me to
go and do it with her. And it was like this weird open call thing. It was just like some,
who even knows, probably in the back of Seventeen magazine or something,
like go to like the mall and do this thing.
Or it was like some weird ass convention center.
And I got to like, I got a couple rounds past my friend,
which that doesn't even feel good.
That's just sad.
It just feels like shit.
She's the one who wanted to go
and you were just going for moral support.
This is the typical story you hear about auditions
where it's like, I just came to,
I was sitting in the hall and they were like,
you look like you'd be an amazing actor.
Yeah, and then I didn't get anything out of it.
Who knows if anyone did,
but it was super weird looking back at it.
Like just thinking about my little like self being like,
hello, like all scared of my braces.
What if you had become a famous model?
Would you have ever been a babysitter?
Well, the part that I was worried about with America's Next Top Model was like, I don't
want this to be how I get anything going because it isn't my intended path. Like, I
don't want to be doing this. But then why do it? I just did it because my friend said,
I guess. Yeah. Paul, have't know. It was something to do.
Yeah, Paul, have you ever auditioned for any weird show?
I auditioned and won American Idol in 2016.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot.
No, I don't think I ever did.
I may have told this story before.
No, I never auditioned for a game show.
I never knew when that was happening,
and I never thought about it.
You know what I mean?
The weirdest audition I can remember
is something that I was not qualified to do.
And I may have told this story before.
I was in an audition for the original MAD TV.
And I was like, you have to have five characters
to do in the audition.
And I was like, I have zero characters.
And so-
I did that for the Dana Carvey Show.
I had zero characters.
Yeah, so the night before I was like,
what's a character? Like I had no for the Dana Carvey show. Yeah. So the night before I was like, what am I?
What's a character?
Like I had no idea how to go about it.
And so the next day it was just me and the casting person.
Oh, God damn, Marsha.
I can't remember her last name.
Marsha.
It was Marsha Marsha.
Marsha Gay Hardin.
And Cult Jam.
This is before they met Lisa Lisa.
And I sat in a chair across from her.
She was sitting at her desk
and I did these just made up things
that I had not fleshed out at all.
I had no, I was just like,
I just gotta wing it and see what happens.
And she had this frozen smile on her face.
She was so, she was smiling at me like,
she knew the entire situation.
Like this guy doesn't know what he's doing.
He was given this audition, he doesn't know what he's doing,
and soon this will be over and it'll be fine.
And then it was.
I did the same thing for the David Carvey show
and one of my characters was the guy
whose left hand slightly shakes when he talks
and he just talks normal.
Oh my God.
And he just had a monologue
but his hand was shaking and it was just like,
what the fuck am I doing?
And then I started turning down auditions
because that I wasn't right for
because it's just a waste of your time,
waste of their time.
They probably just thought you were nervous.
Oh no, I introduced it.
I introduced it as so.
By the way, this character also his handshake.
Oh, my God, his handshake.
And they all forget what they're talking about midway through.
This character also may or may not have a wet spot spreading out over his pants.
I auditioned for two game shows. I auditioned for I auditioned for two game shows I auditioned for.
I auditioned for Luck and-
What like Press Your Luck?
No, just Luck.
It was called Luck.
The HBO show, The Kilt Horses?
Yes, I wanted to kill the horses.
And then when I was a kid, I auditioned for Joker's Wild.
Did I tell you about that?
That sounds familiar actually, but go ahead.
I was like nine and I auditioned for Joker's Wild. Did I tell you about that? I don't think so. That sounds familiar actually, but go ahead.
I was like nine and I auditioned
for the kids version of Joker's Wild
and I was so painfully shy.
Kids version.
Yeah, they had kids on it and I was so painfully shy
and knowing I was so painfully shy
and not giving them what they wanted
and I wasn't outgoing and they would ask me questions
and I would give one word answers
and they were like, do you have a girlfriend?
And I was like, no.
They're like, okay, thank you so much for coming. And my parents had driven me down there
and I felt just this crushing like, what was I doing?
Why didn't I like open up a little more?
It just like felt horrible when I was like sad.
Why can't you be like that on this show?
Like less outgoing?
Yeah.
Yeah, can you be like less self-confident?
Thanks.
Ha ha ha ha.
Wait, I'm trying to, ah, forget it.
I can't do this.
Ah, forget it.
But no, I've always.
I can't waste everybody's time trying to remember.
I will say I always wanted to be on game shows.
I love game shows.
So it's been cool getting to be on some.
And I find that to be like one of the most fun,
random things to do as like an actor.
It's so fun to get to, I was on,
what's that one with Meredith Vieira?
Hold on, I'll get there.
They have to guess the words.
Well, I was on it.
I can't remember what it's called.
I mean, she did Millionaire, but you-
What's the object of the game?
You're with like people who are,
you're like on their team
and like you have to guess words without.
Yeah, it's pyramid, is that?
No, it's a different one.
Oh, wait, yeah.
But you were on pyramid, right?
Because I remember that was the one thing I told my agent.
My agent, after I wrapped Bang Bang, was like,
what do you want to do with your acting career?
I was like, really, the only thing I want to do
is be on $10,000 pyramid.
No, I wanted to be on pyramid,
but I was supposed to go to New York and do it
when the pandemic happened and I couldn't go. Oh, I wanted to be on pyramid, but I was supposed to go to New York and do it when the pandemic happened
and I couldn't go.
Oh, you didn't end up going.
I was so jealous when you told me you were gonna do it.
Oh my God, I was so excited.
No, the show is called 25 Words or Less.
Yeah.
And so you have to get your thing across in,
you only have 25 words,
you can't say the words that are on your page.
Why can't you act like that on this show?
I'll just say 25 words or less.
Good luck.
But it's really fun because it's high energy
and then the person you're playing for wins the prize,
which is really fun too.
It's fun pressure to have on you that you want them to win.
And I enjoy that.
The only game show I've ever been on was Make Me Laugh,
but I was not a contestant.
You were trying to be made laugh?
No, no.
Oh, I was like what?
That's what the contestants would do.
The contestants have to not laugh for 60 seconds to earn the money.
I think that was the first TV show I ever did.
Wow.
What did you do, guys?
I first of all went through all of my, I did a number of tapings of that.
I think I did like six shows, something like that.
And I ran through like all of my Philadelphia
standup material, like in record time
and never made anybody laugh.
And then it got to the point where I just had to like
make shit up.
Yeah.
There's something so weird about someone just staring
at you not laughing.
It's horrible. It's laughing. It's like horrible
Horrible like I had fun with it. I think you have to come out and be like I'm a monkey
That was sort of what I mean no way so so we did the audition where
Where there was like, you know It was like your audition Lauren where everyone was in a circle and then you went into the center of the circle and tried
To make one person laugh, you know?
God, that's hell.
And I remember destroying someone within three seconds.
She just burst out laughing at what we were doing.
And then she was like,
date me, date me.
I'm handsome.
I'm laughing at how hot you are.
So then I got on the show and the, the, the contestants were introduced and we
walked in and I heard, oh no, from the, from the crowd and they were not supposed to do
this, but the person that I had made laugh in the audition was my contestant.
They were never supposed to like, and so she had already knew what I was gonna be doing.
And so I knew you were the funniest guy in the world.
But so you blew it.
Cause she was like, that's not funny anymore.
Yeah. So I don't think I made her laugh in, in on that show,
but I ended up doing, doing three episodes of it.
I don't think they should have had the contestants
be mixed in for the warmup.
It's like, you should not be privy to what anyone's doing.
It should be like the people on the staff or whatever.
People on the staff.
Duh-duh-dee-duh-dee!
Buh-duh-duh!
But I do, the other part I remember about that audition
is like the executive coming up to me and going like,
hey, you guys are really funny.
No one else is getting cast, but you guys are.
And-
Oh my god!
In front of everyone?
Yeah, well, off to the side. Right. but you guys are. And in front of everyone.
Yeah, well, too, off to the side.
Right.
And because I was a new, you know, person trying comedy,
it was like, oh, wow, this Comedy Central executive,
who is probably like, what, a 28-year-old dude?
Yeah.
You know, likes me.
Wow, this is good, you know.
It really helped my career.
Yeah.
Here you are now with us. Yeah. Here you are now with us.
Yeah.
Here you are now with us.
Do you have thoughts about that?
Like now, like if, so if that person came up to you now
and you had the perspective of,
you're just a younger person who's telling me this
or whatever, like does that change,
like does that change for you?
I mean, it's also being in the business longer and things,
but like when someone's younger than you in a position, is that weird?
I find it weird when someone's way younger than me.
It is sometimes. I remember having a meeting.
I had a pitch meeting and I went in to pitch this show
and it was two young women and one I had met before,
one I had not met before.
And they were like, I think they were both in their 20s.
And so I'm pitching, which was fine.
But then, like at a certain point,
the Just For Laughs Festival came up.
And I think I said JFL, and I said to the person
that I didn't know, Just For Laughs.
And she went, yeah, I know what Just For Laughs is.
I've been there.
I've been there many times.
And I was like, inside, I have not even done the pitch yet
and this is over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was.
Yeah, but it's like that's her insecurity for-
Did she say it's pronounced Jiffel?
But that's like her insecurity for being young,
like trying to go like, no, I am established.
I do know what this is.
And so it goes both ways.
But yeah. I don't mind it. I love youth. I do know what this is. So it goes both ways, but yeah.
I don't mind it.
I love youth and it just makes me feel invigorated
anytime I'm in a room with it.
I don't like young people, but I do like their blood,
which is helping me stay immortal.
Yeah, I love that.
It's great, right?
And you're getting that pudding like every night.
I'm doing a pudding every night,
which is young people's blood mixed with chocolate.
It's a delicious pudding. It's making it go down a little, yeah. You guys are getting a pudding every night? which is young people's blood mixed with chocolate. It's a delicious pudding.
It's going to go down a little, yeah.
You guys are getting a pudding every night?
I didn't think that. It sounded like that.
And so I took it and ran with it.
We have to take a break.
I got the pudding pops in my jail cell.
I think there's a reason they call it a health journey, right? It's because these things take time and any program you're on should not be selling
some one-size-fits-all fix to all your nutritional questions.

Caregiving in America is hard work, and it's universal.
At some point in our lives, we will all need care or provide it.
Yvette Nicole Brown, who you might know from a little TV show called Community, is the
primary caregiver for her dad Omar, who has Alzheimer's.
He's a big part of why she is hosting Squeezed,
a new podcast from Lemonada Media and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
It's a show about regular people like me and you or future you navigating this caregiving
journey at every stage of life through the hard and joyful moments.
You can listen to Squeezed with Yvette Nicole Brown ad free on Amazon Music. New
episodes are out wherever you get your podcasts.
We're back with freedom. We missed you. We missed you a lot. During the break, we go
to a cold dark place. And we get really scared and we miss the listeners. We're like the phantoms in the Phantom Zone.
So you laughed at that like you knew what he was talking about.
I don't know what he's talking about. I know. But I still think something's funny if I don't know what's going on.
That's the funniest things. Yeah. Right.
When you're like you walk into a show halfway through that your spouse is watching
and you're like, oh, into a show halfway through that your spouse is watching and you're like,
seems so rude.
Did you really ask us what we're doing tonight?
Well, you looked like you didn't have anything to say.
That's the show.
I'm trying to help you, man.
Can I ask, how are you guys?
Do you feel adjusted to life again or you still, is it still like an adjustment? I'm slowly getting there. As everyone knows, we record these a bit in advance right now.
I had my second shot and I'm not-
You got your second shot, is that what you said?
Yeah, but I'm not at the point of it being fully whatever.
You have another couple of weeks or so?
I have another week.
Another week, great.
But it's making me feel better just to know that I have it.
Yes.
And I had to go do a voiceover job in person yesterday.
But they had it set up where actually I
walked straight from the outdoors
into the area where I would be recording
and I never interacted with a person,
even breathing the same air.
So you went, they had a setup where you went
from outdoors to indoors, interesting.
Yeah, but I didn't have to walk through a lobby
or go through the booth where the guy is
and then go, they had me go straight into the booth.
And it was just nice just to feel like,
oh, it's not as scary.
So I'm getting, I'm like slowly experiencing that
but I do feel like, because I waited a bit to get it,
that it's like everyone's living so fully
and I'm kind of like just not there yet.
And that's been comfortable for me, but also just weird.
So I'm looking forward to being able to just go
to like do all my little things
and have to make some appointments and also see people.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm like, I got invited to a pool party on the fourth of July.
And I, I mean, if I haven't had my baby by then, I'm like, maybe, maybe,
pool party and that'd be fun to see people and like have a moment that feels
normal for a second, which could be great.
I feel like I'm back already.
You know what I mean?
Like I feel, I feel like I'm just already. You know what I mean? Like I feel like I'm just ready to do
normal things again. And it's kind of, I'm now at a point where it's kind of surprising when
other people are still, I mean, we, with the mask mandate was lifted. I still like carry one with
me just in case, because there's a lot of places, even last week that I've been to that are still
like, you have to wear a mask to come in. I have one in the car usually,
and I went to an eye doctor appointment and it wasn't,
on the way I was like, let me just make sure I have it.
And it wasn't there.
And I was so, I hadn't even thought about
even wearing a mask to it.
It's like a switch flipped once I got past that second shot.
And once I went into the first restaurant
that didn't make you have a mask,
it just feels like weird to have one on now.
I know, but I also, like, I mean, it's interesting.
Like I have a cousin who lives in the Midwest and in a pretty Republican area.
Milwaukee perhaps?
And she's still wearing a mask for her comfort.
But then some people were, you know, people tend to be judgmental because the town is really Republican, you know, really not into it. And so then that's like a whole thing
too, where it's like, I just want everyone to do what everyone should be able to do whatever they
want to do. My mom was telling me that she still wears a mask at church because, you know, she's
down in Orange County and they're singing and it's, you know, she doesn't want God to be able to
identify her.
Well, do you think a lot of people there have gotten vaccinated? Is that?
I would imagine it's a little lower than LA, but, but she just, you know, and she's vaccinated and, but she just for safety,
she wants to wear it for right now.
And she says everyone at church glares at her at church.
See, that's the thing. I don't like the judgment around it
because I feel like it's just like,
if you're gonna, it's a big adjustment
after wearing it every day for every little thing
and being nervous about everything.
And then just going back to everything
like it's not happening is weird.
It's so weird that people take it personally.
Like- Yeah.
Well, we all know why.
Yeah, but it's so, it's wild.
It's still so wild to me.
I can't wrap my mind around that mindset.
It's so nuts.
Everything is so nuts.
I will say that we're flying soon for a funeral.
Congratulations!
And then later in August, we're going to go to South Carolina.
Oh good, you get to go again.
Yeah, we're both to go to South Carolina. Oh, good. You get to go again. Yeah. We're both so looking forward to it.
But I don't think I'll ever get on a plane again
without a mask.
Yeah.
I think that's a good thing.
I mean, that'll probably just help a lot of people
not get cold.
It just seems like common sense.
Yeah.
I mean, I feel like Jimmy Pardo doesn't always
get sick on a plane any time he has to travel.
So he should just do it straight away.
He should.
Yeah, I mean sometimes I would like wipe down my stuff if I had Clorox wipes on me or something
like before everything like when I'm flying.
Oh yeah.
I never do that.
I never think about it.
Sometimes I did because it was like, oh, sometimes it would seem really gross and other times
I just wouldn't care. But I do think I would do that now. And I don't know, wear a mask.
Do they make you wear a mask on the plane?
I don't know.
We don't know, yeah.
We're traveling in July as well, so we'll see.
But man, I sort of missed the days of planes though.
Like I remember when I flew back from Milwaukee
to move back to LA and the guide next to me
and the seat next to me just like pulled out a flask
and was like, you want some?
And it was just like-
What the fuck? Just anarchy on planes.
I miss those days.
Was that when you could smoke on the plane?
No, although my first plane trip I took,
there was a whole smoking section.
It's bizarre.
It's so funny to act like there's a section.
A section, like you can just pull a curtain
and it'll keep all that smoke away.
I smoked on a plane to London.
And it was after they banned smoking on domestic flights.
And then after we got, yes, it was ridiculous.
Was that the only reason you went on the flight?
As a smoker, you must have been like, thank God,
because it was your longest flight.
Oh yeah, I was thrilled.
I was thrilled to indulge in my disgusting habit.
And the plane stank.
It was disgusting.
It was great.
But see, it's so interesting that you guys are like fully living your life.
I mean, like Mike basically is too, because he's vaccinated.
He's been vaccinated much longer.
So like he's been doing stuff and it's just so it, I feel a little bit like a shut in
a little bit still like I'm kind of living in the past.
Honestly, like it hasn't gone back to normal.
I think it's, it's, we's, we're still at home more often
than we're not, I think,
because we're only seeing vaccinated people
and we're not going out to eat all that much.
And we're, you know, it's just like baby steps in a way.
But I feel like when I am with people,
it's now not even a thing.
Like everyone acts-
That's what's nice.
That's nice. Yes, absolutely.
I've been running, like back to like running errands a lot
during the day.
Janie's not there yet.
That's what I miss.
I love that.
Yeah, it feels good.
Like I used to, it used to be a pain in the ass.
I was like, oh, I gotta go pick this up
and then go drop that off.
And now it's like, yay, I get to go to the post office.
I get to go to the dry cleaner or whatever.
Yeah, I really enjoy running errands.
And I like idly shopping.
And I love going to the mall.
And I love just like, I like just doing whatever
I feel like doing all day.
I like swimming in the LA River.
I like shitting in the middle of the street.
But I will say, I was thinking about this today
because I'm listening to Amanda Klutz's audible book.
Amanda Hutz?
Amanda Klutz, her husband Nick Cordero was-
He was one of the first people to pass.
Oh, now I feel bad.
You can take out the part we made in front of her name.
No, it's fine.
Just kidding.
But no, she-
It sounded familiar too.
It's like, I know that name.
I'm still gonna go for it.
I'm listening to her audio book and it's really good.
And I'm really enjoying it.
But it's also making me feel like I don't regret at all
taking everything as seriously as I did the whole time.
And yeah. Absolutely.
Being super obsessive about all my little habits.
I'm totally happy I was like that.
And I'm sure I'll be able to drop it all when it's fine.
But yeah.
You just never know.
I mean, and I was kind of like when I got the second vaccine
and everyone was like, the second one is bad.
And then I had no symptoms.
I was kind of like, I wonder if I wouldn't have had
any symptoms if I got it.
But then I read an article that was like,
it's not an indication of how the body would have taken.
I was worried about that too.
I was worried about,
because everyone did kind of really hype that up.
I just like all the people
who still have weird smelling problems.
I know that there's so many long-term effects
you could have.
So it's just like,
just feels really lucky to get to this point.
We were very fortunate that we were able
to continue doing the show,
not only over Zoom, but in the backyard.
So it's, it's, uh, we were very lucky to have jobs that allowed us to do that.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. I, that's a big part of it. Janie and I were talking about that. That's like,
we had the, the luxury of being able to like be under lockdown and keep it really tight. And
even though we did, we followed all the protocols, we still felt lucky that we never got COVID.
Oh, of course.
I mean, I was still going to work on Good Girls
for a lot of it too.
And it felt as safe as it could
because they were testing so much
and we got tested twice a day.
I think Hollywood did a relatively good job
with all of the, you know what I mean? Like, their work. I mean, I think it was so relatively good job with all of the,
you know what I mean?
Like there weren't-
Like I mean, I think it was so weird because it's like,
as the actor, you have to take your mask off
and everyone else was wearing a mask and a shield.
And a shield.
And so it was like-
But they did, like you didn't hear,
you heard stories about, you know, production shutting down,
but you didn't hear these stories about like,
well, you know, the star of Clarice is dead today.
Right, right, right.
No, and that would have been so scary
if it like started becoming like that,
where like it was totally out of control.
I think there were a handful of stories I heard about sets
where it was spreading or something,
or there just was like the risk and it was kind of scary.
But the show I was on, I'm really grateful.
It was really safe.
And that's another thing.
I'm just so happy.
Like my work, like I didn't socialize basically at all
because I wanted to be able to go to work,
not risk getting sick and ruining that
for myself and everyone.
And I was able to do that.
So I'm just really glad.
We're very lucky.
Did I put you to sleep, Paul?
I beg your pardon? Did I put you you sleep, Paul? I beg your pardon?
Did I put you to sleep, Paul?
I yawned, okay?
So sorry.
Give me 30 lashes.
I don't care.
You don't, do you?
You truly don't give a shit anymore, Lord.
You truly, you're like, you love chaos.
You're like, you remind me of someone.
Yeah, does he have red lips?
What was his name? His name was Charlie. I mean, I guess you could call him Red. You remind me of someone. Yeah. Does he have red lips? What was his name?
His name was...
Oh, I mean, I guess you could call them red.
They're more of a...
Do you know what?
Speaking of, Scott, I too am watching Star Trek Voyager, as you know.
Yes, we are in a race to see who finishes first, and I suspect you will win, as you've
almost caught up to me.
I'm watching one a day when I go to the gym.
Mos Vitamins?
Yeah.
I'm also taking my Geritol and my Centrum Silver.
By the way, speaking of going to the gym and watching a show, I started a West Wing rewatch
and I emailed Josh Molina to tell him I was doing it.
And I was like, anytime I get on the treadmill, I'm just putting on a West Wing and it helps
me get through it.
And then like a year and a half later, I was like, well, I'm up to halfway through season one.
And I don't think I'm getting to your episodes.
There was a moment in an episode where Neelix, the weirdo,
he's a weird alien.
What I don't like about him more than him being a weird alien is just how jealous he
is.
He seems like he's based on sitcom dads in the 90s.
He's got severe emotional problems in it to drag.
Granted, I'm only in second season.
Maybe he gets therapy.
They do try to rehabilitate some of those problems in an episode upcoming.
Yeah, which I just watched the other day.
Oh, you did?
Okay.
So I'm hoping now that that's all gone.
We'll see.
I'll keep you posted. We, so I'm hoping now that that's all gone. We'll see. I'll keep you posted.
OK. Yeah. Well, apparently right now, apparently you are
because I'm the last one I watched.
I may have pulled ahead.
Yeah. Well, I'm I'm ping ponging between Deep Space Nine as well.
I'm going by air date order for all things Star Trek.
You know, it's demented.
I there was an episode where Neil looks the weirdo.
You can take a breather, Lauren.
You can just leave the room.
I'm just thinking about something.
Well, you might find this interesting.
I'm listening.
So the weirdo alien complements the captain.
He's saying, you look great today.
Is that a new shade of lipstick?
And it seemed weird to me.
And she says, no, it's the same one I always wear.
And it seemed weird to me that in the Star Trek universe,
they are acknowledging that the women who
work on this fucking starship are putting on makeup every day.
Glam themselves up.
Yeah.
In the 24th century.
Like, it's crazy.
Especially the Captain.
I guess I would assume, first of all,
it's weird to break the fourth wall as the character
and talk about how you got ready today.
But I also think like that in the future
that you would have like tattooed makeup
and like it wouldn't be like.
Or whatever.
It would just look like that.
But here's the thing.
Nobody.
But like, you know, I wouldn't picture you being
on a spaceship being like, I just got this from Sephora.
Yeah, I think you'd have like a holographic makeup.
Basically a Facebook filter for your actual face. Nobody is really, nobody like on the crew
is really made up to look like they're wearing makeup.
Do you know what I mean?
They're wearing like TV makeup.
They're not wearing like going out to the discotheque makeup.
Right, right.
You know, so it's sort of like-
It's not worth commenting on, it's supposed to be natural.
Yes, you sort of, exactly.
Isn't that good makeup though, where you don't notice it?
I'm not saying it's good or bad.
Well, it's like a woman would notice.
Did you find her attractive, Paul?
It's like a woman would notice if another woman had lipstick on,
even if it was supposed to look really natural.
Like a guy might not really pay attention to it.
But in the context of the show, it's really weird
that you're going to comment on the TV makeup
that's supposed to look natural.
It's like no one does that on a regular show.
Like you wouldn't be watching, you know,
basically any TV show that like, like-
Less TV shows.
This is us, a million little things, all my favorites.
You're not gonna-
Price is right.
You're gonna say like nice lipstick-
I did spin the Price is Right wheel, I do wanna say.
You did.
After I went to Bill Maher, our friend, I think I told. After I went to Bill Maher, our friend,
I think I told us.
After I went to Bill Maher.
Remember I told this story.
I feel like I told the story where I went to an episode
of Bill Maher like 15 years ago
and they made us give him a standing ovation.
Yeah, real time.
Yeah, that's right.
And after we did that,
my friend who is one of the producers
took us down to the Price is Right stage,
which was underneath, and let us spin the wheel.
Yes, which is very exciting.
Yeah, very exciting.
I did not get a dollar.
That was the only thing I really enjoyed
about working on that show, was that I got to see
the Price is Right stuff every day.
And one time I saw them, I saw stagehands pushing
through the hallway a brand new car.
Whoa!
Oh!
It was really exciting.
They had like gloves on.
They were like, you can't scuff it or whatever.
And they like had it in neutral or whatever.
Baseball gloves?
Yeah, they had baseball gloves on.
Speaking of game shows, since we're talking about it again, I did text Nicole, but it
went green and I recall that she tweeted about being on a plane.
So she's...
Oh.
Oh. I have two friends who were just on Price she tweeted about being on a plane. So she's... Oh, when it goes green.
I have two friends who were just on Price is Right and one won a car.
Drew Carey and Bob Barker?
Yeah, they went on together.
I'll host and you'll be a contestant.
Then you'll host and I'll be a contestant.
So they won a car?
Our friend Sang won a car, yeah.
That was very exciting.
That's exciting.
And then our friend Rita didn't...
I mean, she won the thing that got her up, you know,
to play the game.
Like some weird armoire.
She did the, she did, it was celebrity.
Something from Broi Hill?
She did Celebrity Prizes, right?
So she played with Tiffany Haddish and-
Oh, fun.
I didn't know there was a Celebrity Prizes, right?
I didn't know there was,
everything's becoming a celebrity thing.
Yeah, I think if you put a celebrity,
I mean, we should do celebrity freedom,
where three people replace us. Ha ha ha!
Or just one celebrity per episode.
A different celebrity every time.
That sounds really fun.
Wait, wait, wait. G back that far. Bob Barker.
Before and after that.
Oh, I remember. Brand new car.
I had a very weird sort of reunion the other night. I mentioned before on the show that I sometimes do streaming improv with my friends, the Sunday Service up in Vancouver.
Great. Very nice guys.
Very nice and they had me back on the show this past Sunday
and they had another guest on the show
who turns out was someone that I did not really meet
but I was at the same Blue Jays game
when I was in Toronto a few years back.
I think I discussed this on stage.
I was doing a show with Mark Evan Jackson.
I said there was a woman in the stands
who won a car during the game
and was the most bored person I've ever seen
who just won a car.
And that person was on the show with me on Sunday.
What? Really?
She was an improviser and actress on Sunday. What? Really?
She was an improviser and actress in Canada.
Did you ask her about it?
No, they brought it up.
They said, I think you mentioned this on,
you mentioned this on stage.
What was her rationale?
She told me the story.
She had won a car before.
What?
And it's a big hassle.
What?
So she's going, God damn, I want another car.
She was totally like kind of like stunned that she won this car.
And she started thinking about the stuff that she had to do.
Now I got to contact the dealership.
But it's still at the end of the process.
It's like 10 grand at least.
Yeah, I mean, she was she was eventually happy about it.
But the reaction in the moment was, it was hilarious.
Wait, what's 10 grand?
Like if you sell it?
Well, by the time, so you contact the dealership
and you say you don't want the car
and then they give you like, what, you know, after,
they'll say, okay, well, we'll give you this amount
of money for it, which is less than what it's worth.
And then you have to pay taxes on top of that.
So it's like at the end of the process.
I think you take the car no matter what
and give it to somebody else. Some people do.
Some people do.
Some people do.
If you don't need the car.
Some people do.
Some people do.
But that reminds me of all of my feeling
when they called to say that I,
that the Bang Bang TV show got a second season.
It was like, yay, oh wait,
I have to lose all that weight again.
Because it had been so long in between the wrapping
and getting picked up.
And then they had to take a wall out of your house
to get you to the hospital.
And airlift me.
We gotta take a break.

If you can't think of one, make one up.
If you make it up and
the next person calls your bluff, you're out. If someone calls bluff and it was a real band
name, they're out of there.
Okay.
All right. So why don't we ask our, oh wait, we have something in the chat. Did somebody
give us a
I think it was the Google doc of
Yeah, it was just the Google doc.
Which is helpful.
Oh, thank you.
You put the Google Doc into the chat.
Yeah, yeah.
Our producer, Marina, would you give us a word or a letter?
Just give us a letter.

Not if the next person goes before you call bluff.

I think you're out and then me and Paul keep going. You're out. And then we'll come up with
another one. And that's what it's all about. I was like, I have to look like I remembered it.
So you were trying to act.
Yeah.
There should be a time limit, right?
Okay.

R is the chat.
Another good letter.

because you get to get one out without anyone telling one.
Exactly. Exactly.
Okay.
I honestly cannot figure.
I'm gonna give you the buzzer.

Abel and Kane.
It's not a bad name for a group.
It's truly not.
Abel and Kane.
Yeah. So Paul wins again.
So that takes you to three.
So you are the winner.
Do we do brackets?
Yeah, we always do brackets in these cases.
So you play against yourself?
By the way, who is keeping the brackets?
Because we're not, somebody's supposed to be in charge.
Paul, the final round is you have to do 10 in a row.

You can't? You have 10 seconds. Go, go. Lumineers.
There you go. Lumineers, you did it. Paul, you win $10.
Why does Leonard Bernstein not count? I don't think he's like a performer.
He's a writer of music, right? I think he also didn't conduct it. That's what gives a shit about
that dude waving around a stick. Paul won three rounds in a row and he beat himself in the final
round against himself for a grand prize total of $10. That was a game show and you were on it buddy. Yes!
Actress Clarice dead at 28.

Yes, and he's very, Scott lets himself feel on Instagram.
Yeah.
He's really nice.
It's really the only place where I can truly be myself

I wish you could do it on this show, but it's impossible.
No, sorry.
It's just, you know, one of these days.
Scott said if we got to 17,
By the way, every story I've ever told on this show is fake.
Yeah.
Scott said if he gets to 17,000 followers
on the 3Dim Instagram, he'll post a nude of somebody.
Of someone.
Yeah, not of myself.
I know no one wants to see that.
We do.
Scott, put me in the chat.
Oh, you guys want to see my nudes?
Thank you so much.
We're friends.
Of course.
I want to see all my friends' nudes.

Hi, everyone.
Gloria Riviera here and we are back for another season of No One Is Coming to Save Us, a podcast

but one that influences all facets of American life.
