Guess who's here everyone for the listener,
0:03
Paul Sheer, comedian
0:05
Paul Scher, director, writer
0:09
pa.
0:10
Or Yeah for a ps oh of course. And you know what
0:12
I have to tell you that it is somebody who
0:14
wants sound effects at the ready.
0:17
This is my favorite thing. I love
0:19
watching your show and now I get to see and
0:21
be near this machine.
0:23
Let me tell you. I was listening to the last
0:26
episode in my car today because
0:28
we trim them down a little bit sure, and
0:31
I was like, God, it's just you know, obviously
0:33
it is my show and hopefully I would
0:35
like it, but I'm
0:37
like, these sound effects really hit the spot
0:39
in a way. They're the best that normal
0:43
conversation can't, you know, like
0:45
to be able to play crickets.
0:47
It's to me, it's the best I need to
0:49
I'm gonna because I have tried
0:51
to do sound effects. I have boards and trying to put it
0:53
all together, but this feels special
0:55
to me.
0:56
Thank you, Coller. I forgot you were here. Do you agree
0:59
or do you think that are annoying?
1:01
I love them. I love the sound effects.
1:09
This one is long.
1:11
It's long, this one I
1:16
caller. I want to get to you in one second and
1:18
say that I my son loves
1:21
playing basketball, and for the last
1:23
couple of years, every birthday party
1:25
is a basketball birthday party, so that everyone
1:28
plays. He is nine and
1:30
so I don't
1:32
play. But I sit on the side with a
1:34
full sound effects board and I
1:36
am the announcer and the DJ and
1:39
sound effects and the sound effects.
1:40
Wait sound effects during the game.
1:43
So it's like or
1:45
it'll be like you know, sometimes it will be like NBA jam
1:48
sound effects like on fire, or
1:50
like more positive
1:53
because adults are playing too. Oh okay,
1:55
so I I mix it up.
1:57
It does feel like a dangerous
1:59
and taking like someone could just come up and fucking
2:01
punch you in the face.
2:02
I know.
2:03
That's why. Yeah, I do have a I have
2:05
a bodyguard with me at all time. It's
2:10
I but you know what, I'm an entertainer and I
2:12
have to be able to do my stuff to the bone.
2:15
That's what I tell you. I was like, get ready to edit
2:17
this episode down because I'm gonna say everything's
2:19
on my mind.
2:20
We'll get three episodes out of one Paul Sheer
2:23
episode. That's kind of the rule of thumb.
2:26
This is so good, this is great.
2:28
I just did realize though it's way past
2:30
my threshold for coffee.
2:31
It is a later it is a later time.
2:33
It's literally five o'clock. I will be up. I
2:36
will be up. What is my schedule?
2:38
Oh, I cold plunged a little
2:40
bit earlier too, so that's going to be keeping me up too.
2:42
And I have such a busy day tomorrow. Oh
2:44
my god, this was a mistake.
2:48
Don't caller, Wow, you really drink that quick?
2:50
I chugged it, Coller,
2:53
Yes, hey, are you still there?
2:55
Yeah?
2:58
Okay, here's a couple of things on our mind.
3:00
All right, are you a highly
3:02
sensitive person? Have you heard that? Do you have any
3:04
kind of diagnosis that
3:07
informs how you live your life? That's one we're
3:11
also looking for. Behind the scenes. Do you
3:13
have a real job, not some Hollywood
3:15
bullshit, Like a real job, real job where
3:17
you can tell us the ins and outs of behind the scenes,
3:20
A.
3:20
Real job that would we be interested
3:23
in going, Yeah, because it's like like,
3:25
if you work at like McDonald's, I'm
3:27
interested in what the behind the scenes. But if you're like,
3:29
oh, I work in like a wealth management firm, I'm
3:31
not interested in.
3:32
That probably is pretty josy.
3:34
Yeah, but I want to I want to have the thing I related
3:36
to you. I want to get into the nitty like a
3:38
parking lot, like I'm into that.
3:40
I'm fascinated by the world of the valet.
3:42
I think that would make a great documentary. I've signed
3:44
up a farm. I'm sorrying again.
3:47
Now, now can I ask this question?
3:50
You have this?
3:50
Yeah, but not now
3:54
listen. I already asked Kojak but
3:56
he hasn't delivered, hasn't
4:00
delivered Coja has
4:02
delivered,
4:06
hasn't delivered drunk,
4:20
though he did deliver like five thousand songs
4:23
on the most recent episode, he hasn't.
4:25
I wanted a super charged gavel sound,
4:27
so you president, it's like huge, oh
4:31
you know, you
4:38
know, uh, he has not delivered
4:40
that. So I but I have to say
4:43
this is funny to me. The patheticness
4:45
of how it's
4:47
like it almost feels like if a judge
4:50
ruled you guilty and they went you'd
4:52
be like, I don't think I'm actually guilty, Like I
4:54
don't have to go to jail.
4:55
This actually sounds worse than like the kid
4:58
one that has like that.
5:01
It doesn't seem powerful. I don't know if
5:03
it's yeah like and also it
5:05
bounces. I feel that this part should be well
5:07
can.
5:08
I try this? I mean, I don't want to hurt your tip. But no,
5:11
but that's doesn't No, yeah, you needs.
5:12
To be That just looks like you're playing in
5:14
your kitchen. Yeah you know right, Yeah, but
5:17
this is a gabble.
5:19
Well that's not a game. Well you have to realize.
5:20
It's crazy though, how like much
5:23
the bottom part jumps?
5:25
Yeah, I feel it's do they By
5:27
the way, we haven't gotten to this question.
5:29
I know we haven't.
5:30
We haven't even told you. We haven't told you.
5:32
However you identify. I don't even want to call
5:34
people sir anymore. These old timey showbiz
5:36
terms are not slurs. Okay,
5:42
we also are interested in ricotta.
5:45
Okay, canolip paul
5:48
is pro canoli dip?
5:50
What do you think again?
5:51
Hold on?
5:53
Well, first of all, let me tell you I had an issue
5:55
with the Cannoli dip that was represented
5:57
on the previous show because
5:59
it felt like it wasn't really
6:02
the canoli dip that we deserve. And I'm gonna tell
6:04
you something, as a person who lives.
6:06
There, definitely wasn't. I mean, we agree there,
6:08
I'm not.
6:09
Yeah, as a person who grew up, I'm Italian,
6:12
I grew up in an Italian household.
6:13
That's why we're both shouting.
6:19
I have not said yeah.
6:24
We were talking with our hands. You should see. I'm the chamburger
6:26
drink. I feel like there's
6:29
two types of canoli, one that
6:31
has like a delicious like
6:33
inside filling, and one that's rakatta,
6:36
and that is the one that I
6:38
don't like. Raccatta is
6:40
disgusting to me. It's like eating
6:43
cottage cheese.
6:44
Well, what's the good one made out of?
6:46
I don't know. It's cream scream. No,
6:48
it's not cream cheese. It's like a I
6:51
don't know. I know that, like
6:53
I know that. I've never
6:55
been more disappointed when when my
6:58
mom, who was a great chef, for my birthday,
7:00
she said, I made you canoles and I was like, I'm
7:03
so excited.
7:04
Marc scapon or
7:07
ricotta.
7:08
Okay, it's Marscapone, then it has to do. Yeah,
7:10
sorry, although Marscapone, I don't well, I'm
7:12
sure it is. It's gotta be gotta be.
7:14
It says it's one or the other.
7:16
All right, then Marscapone. That's a caller,
7:19
Marscapone Orcutta, thank
7:23
you.
7:24
I don't know what sound to give.
7:27
Yeah, it's a groat. I used to get those
7:29
tubs in the house, like remember those like yellow tubs.
7:31
You okay, so
7:34
what's up?
7:37
But I want to clarify that Paul
7:39
said he does like ricotta.
7:42
No, I love
7:44
Canoli dip and if you get the right
7:46
Cannoli dep St. Leonards, Canoli dep is
7:49
one of the best things. And I
7:51
will also go to the mat and say that you just have
7:53
to get if the filling is
7:55
good, that's all Canoli dip is. It's
7:57
just the filling. It's like hummus
8:00
and Peter.
8:01
You just you know, when I met you, I never
8:03
would have imagined, like if you were like you can peek
8:05
forward at the future, that you'd be screaming at
8:08
me about can dip in my face.
8:10
This is this is where we've got.
8:12
We've become so close over the years.
8:16
Call her, what's your job? And do you have
8:18
any backstory on that? Or
8:20
canos? We
8:23
ran that up.
8:25
Now. I think that, uh,
8:28
you know, you guys were a bit prescient on the whole sensitivity
8:31
and uh profession
8:34
question. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna conflate them.
8:36
I'm gonna I'm gonna bring together into
8:38
where I'm atitxercise moment. Okay,
8:41
I would say I am as a person,
8:44
okay, and my job is
8:46
I'm.
8:46
An attorney, okay, And
8:49
I.
8:49
Just started a new job as an attorney. And
8:52
it all happened because of my sensitivity.
8:56
Uh
8:59
where literally playa One
9:01
day, somebody just sent me in roote email and I
9:04
was like, I don't want to be here anymore, and
9:07
I.
9:09
Like, I like somebody who does, Like
9:11
I just want to go into that first sion because I like anybody
9:14
who after an emails
9:16
like piece like a real like
9:19
you didn't put too much thought into it. You
9:21
were like that was the final straw. Like
9:23
we always say like that's the last straw, but very
9:25
rarely do we go that's the last straw.
9:27
And I'm out.
9:28
Can you dig the email up and read it to us? Omitting
9:31
any names.
9:33
I'll just say that, like I literally was away
9:35
on vacation. I did all the precautions.
9:38
I had everybody lined up, like talk to
9:40
this person, talk to that person, and
9:42
the person who's emailing me, all of a sudden just
9:45
unnecessarily moved it up the chain,
9:47
like got all the bosses involved.
9:49
Added they added more important
9:51
people to the chain. That's so fucking
9:54
that's such bit shit for.
9:56
No reason, and so I called them out on
9:58
it and I was like, why did you do that? Yeah, like you
10:00
didn't need to do that. And then and then
10:02
and then I get like a text from a recruiter
10:05
being like, uh, you know, it
10:07
was so all of it happened very you know, serendipitous.
10:10
Like I got a text from a recruiter and they're like,
10:12
do you want to interview for jobs? And I just
10:14
replied yes, and then it was.
10:16
Over, Oh shit, mic
10:18
drop bam. I'm just like, yes I
10:20
do.
10:21
Now do you think and I'm I'm
10:24
appreciative of what you did do, but
10:26
do you also think that you let the other person win? You
10:30
quit when yeah, like or
10:32
no, like that person tried to screw you over, and
10:34
you're like, I'm out, like did that person
10:36
win? Because I think that you won, But
10:39
I'm also thinking that that other person thinks
10:41
that they won.
10:43
You know, I don't think they won because you
10:45
know, now bring into an abyss.
10:48
And I'm not there and great,
10:50
I like it, all right, good, so they went down, they went
10:53
something went down. Then when you left, I like that,
10:55
all.
10:55
Right, So what do you do now?
10:58
I'm still an attorney. I'm just went to a bigger,
11:01
better job.
11:01
That sensitive attorney.
11:03
I wanted you to be like eye clean toilets, and
11:05
then it would be there.
11:09
That's a sound effect you need to be having on
11:11
this copy written. No,
11:14
No, that isn't you know that's a that
11:16
that's perfect. It's it's
11:18
a part of the sound effects library. Because I remember
11:21
when I was scoring one of my shows. I
11:23
was going through and I was like, oh, it is all the Larry David movie,
11:25
all the Larry David music is just
11:28
in those like music libraries.
11:29
No, yes, we gotta get it.
11:31
And by the way, of course it is because
11:34
like that's so par for the course of like
11:36
Larry David, he's not having a composer. He's like, ye
11:39
that thing.
11:40
Wow, Collar,
11:44
you're a lawyer. Are lawyer's assholes?
11:47
Uh?
11:47
You know.
11:48
I think that there's a bad reputation for
11:50
Lloyd's being an asshole.
11:52
That would be a yes, you have to
11:54
be you have to be an asshole, right.
11:56
You gotta to get the you gotta get the.
11:58
You gotta win those cases. Is anatomy
12:00
of the fall real I.
12:02
Don't, I don't, I mean, I think it just depends on what field
12:04
you're in. You know, yeah, you
12:07
know what, Yeah, you know what. Yes, we're assles, were rassles.
12:09
Let's just put it to bed.
12:10
Wrackles. We're rassles, grackles, w raffles, we'rerackles,
12:12
raffles, crackles, grassles, crackles, grapples,
12:14
crackles, raffles, crackles, grapples, crackles,
12:17
rassle.
12:17
Tasshole, caasshole, casshole, casshole, casshole.
12:19
You know, well, no, but what do you but But but even
12:22
if you are fighting for the right thing, you have to
12:24
be you have to flip
12:26
it right, you have to get in there. You have to win a
12:29
fight an.
12:30
Argument, Yeah, you have to.
12:32
Yes, you have to be intense and committed
12:34
to your argument. And also it's like, you know, I learned
12:36
these lessons all the time where it's like I kind of will
12:39
give up a little too easily, you know. So
12:41
it's like sometimes I literally have to tell myself, like
12:44
I have to stand here and not even leave,
12:46
you know, like before you know, I
12:48
get what is needed. So I
12:51
guess that's can be an asshole sometimes, you know, making
12:53
people uncomfortable.
12:54
Yeah, I don't know, all right, thank you I
12:56
forgot to mention that iHeartRadio
12:59
was like, we like it when you hang up on people faster.
13:01
So get ready for a rapid
13:04
trigger trigger or our finger
13:08
trigger finger collar
13:11
collar.
13:12
HI have some work secrets.
13:15
Who all right, let's
13:18
get right down here
13:20
we go partial,
13:24
we have to hear what this?
13:25
Okay? How did you even know we were talking about
13:28
work secrets? I posted it on Okay,
13:30
I just posted call.
13:32
I understood the assignment.
13:33
I don't play.
13:34
I didn't. Yeah, I posted it the wrong way. Okay,
13:37
what do you got?
13:38
Oh for my I
13:40
was actually just journaling about my first
13:42
job ever and how it has scarred me
13:46
for life. So my first job, I had
13:48
to dress up as a like eight foot tall
13:50
cow for an ice cream shop.
13:52
Okay, you know casual.
13:55
Top And it comes to.
13:56
My boss and his wife used
13:58
to watch me on the security
14:00
cameras from their house. They would
14:03
always call in and be like, why isn't
14:05
Claire mopping the floors?
14:07
Or as a wait
14:11
So you had to dress
14:13
up as an eight foot talk cow and then do
14:15
menial tasks like you weren't out in front, like
14:18
spitting a sign.
14:19
I would have to do both. I would have
14:22
to greet the children who also listen.
14:25
You know what, that's countrageous.
14:28
That is coutranging.
14:35
Okay, that's me doing my own joke. Okay,
14:38
wait, so you had to dress
14:40
up as an eight foot I would say that's.
14:42
Utterly outrage Yeah,
14:47
you guys are quick, I can see you.
14:49
Why we still
14:51
don't understand the mechanics of this. You're dressed
14:53
as a cow mopping.
14:54
Were you getting in and out of a costume? Or
14:56
you put on a costume? Then you had to do everything
14:59
both both?
15:00
So they wanted to see my my work in
15:02
and out of a cow costume? Could I scoop
15:04
ice cream and a cow costume? Could I get
15:07
I used to get kicked by kids and their
15:09
parents would be like, yeah, I get them.
15:11
Instead of like.
15:12
Instilling maybe you don't kick cows on
15:14
the street, I would just have to kind
15:16
of take it.
15:17
This is a fetish.
15:18
I also want to just break down the idea
15:21
that this is my own thing
15:23
that no one finds funny but me. But I'm gonna say
15:25
it anyway.
15:25
Let's skip it.
15:28
Like, all right, so you are a cow scooping
15:31
ice cream, which means like, yeah, you are
15:34
scooping your own stuff to give to like,
15:36
it's it's a lucky chicken.
15:37
Remember I
15:40
loved that when I was younger.
15:41
See, I find that I have the same issue with UH
15:44
with m and ms. They're standing around
15:47
at these parties where people are eating M and ms and they're
15:49
talking and I'm like, or are
15:51
you yeah, you're letting your friends go to slaughter?
15:53
I don't know, right, they should be screaming
15:56
at the top of their lungs.
15:57
So okay. So the bosses would watch you on a security
16:00
camera and be like, why are
16:03
you not doing enough work?
16:05
Yes? Yeah, and it would call
16:07
in. There'd be no one in the story, be the middle of winter
16:10
and it was solely an ice cream shop,
16:12
and you know, it would take ten to fifteen minutes and kind
16:14
of lounge on the counter, you
16:17
know, maybe go on my phone. And as soon
16:19
as I like would stop working, the boss would
16:21
call on the on the phone and I would see their name
16:23
and I'd be like shit, and I would like, grab a rag
16:25
and go start cleaning.
16:27
Outrageous. Was the costume at least warm
16:29
for the winter?
16:30
Yes, it was warm in the winter and then really
16:33
hot in the summer. And one of my coworkers once
16:35
threw up in it, and they were used to get it
16:37
professionally cleaned for so
16:40
bad.
16:41
Calm out, calm out. What's the name of this place?
16:43
Legally, I can't have it.
16:45
It's no longer and it's
16:47
no longer a business.
16:48
But it's called Queen.
16:50
Queen under the table.
16:52
We can They're close.
16:53
They're not even open anymore. Queens. My
16:56
dad lived in Flushing. I wish I would have gone.
16:58
I would never have tried to kick you, though, so
17:01
it really.
17:02
Humbled me and Chelsea.
17:03
I do have a food task.
17:04
What is it really? It's one and done
17:07
caramelized onions.
17:08
I think they're good. Yeah,
17:11
you're right, yally,
17:16
I mean, I don't know who could I guess?
17:19
Yeah, it seems like one that would be hard
17:21
to refute.
17:23
You know, if I may, I've
17:25
been eating a caramelized onion almost
17:28
every morning for the last sixt week.
17:31
Wait, that
17:34
breaks on because
17:40
you caramelized onion.
17:42
No, no, no, you can't condiment
17:45
breakfast cereal.
17:48
Try me, if you try hard enough, you can make
17:50
any.
17:50
Wait, so you're just like throwing a whole onion
17:52
in a frying pan in the morning and just like getting
17:55
it all sugared up.
17:57
You tricked us I don't eat.
17:58
I don't put any sugar. I just do olive
18:00
oil and a little bit of water and salt.
18:03
I hung up. I
18:07
think my heart is right. They were like, you know
18:09
what, it's fun hang up more and they're
18:11
right. I feel free. Hello the
18:15
name?
18:15
Hi?
18:15
How are you? I'm here with Paul Sheer? Uh oh?
18:18
I can't have that dog bar?
18:19
What's up?
18:19
Dog?
18:20
One more bark and it's over, no
18:23
go away. Okay.
18:26
We're talking about behind the scenes, crazy
18:29
work stories. We're talking about highly sensitive
18:31
people. What is that another diagnosed? We're
18:34
talking about ricotta and canoli. And
18:36
we also are talking
18:38
about Paul
18:41
Shear's list. Okay. I asked Paul, what do
18:43
you want to talk about on the show? This is the list? He texted
18:45
me. What's an appetizer? Okay,
18:49
I don't even know what that means. What's an appetisse?
18:51
What's appetizer? Like like, well,
18:54
like I'm saying, like sometimes people are like, well, can that
18:56
be an appetizer? I think it. I think that there's a
18:58
discussion to be had, like that could be
19:00
an appetizer, Like like little pieces
19:02
of steak on a stick is an appetizer?
19:04
We should start a group, a chat group
19:06
called What's Appetizer?
19:11
I don't know what I would use it for.
19:15
So the other one is silver lining finders.
19:17
You tell us what's bumming you out and we will find a
19:19
silver lining. Yeah, this is us, Like we're fixers.
19:22
We have we're broken from our childhood, fixing
19:24
our parents problems.
19:25
Yeah, this is that's what we do.
19:27
And the other one is friend favors. What's too much
19:29
or the bare minimum we expect from our friends.
19:32
That's a great one. Do nachos
19:34
get a bad rap? Okay,
19:37
do nachos get a bad rap? Flew
19:40
under the radar. I don't even remember reading that one.
19:42
I thought nachos, I thought that would
19:44
get nachos are great, But they do they
19:46
get a bad rap. I feel like people often
19:48
when you see that as people don't want to order
19:50
nachos for the table. They they'll
19:53
order chips and guac, chips and salsa.
19:55
People don't want to order nachos adults.
19:58
I don't really like nachos because like it's
20:00
too much worse, Like you get messy
20:02
eating it, like you kind of have to dig
20:04
for what you want.
20:06
That's so you get That's the thing. You don't know
20:08
what you're going to get. Maybe one chip has a lot
20:10
of cheese, one chip has a lot of you got it, You're
20:12
going in. It's it's a different bite. Everything is
20:14
a different bite.
20:15
But I think I want to know what I'm going to get if
20:17
I'm going to eat it.
20:18
Well, you know what you're gonna get cheese and beans
20:21
and uh and some jalapenos.
20:24
Just the ratio will be different.
20:26
I think the beans is where I'm
20:28
out.
20:29
Oh wow, Okay, Well, then you don't like nachos.
20:31
There was a place that did chicken tinga
20:33
nachos that I was addicted to. No
20:36
longer exists, never found anything
20:38
at all similar sense.
20:40
You know what?
20:40
I think you'd like that place downtown, that Indian place.
20:43
U it is, Oh,
20:46
it's very good. It's I'm gonna I'll
20:48
remember, is it?
20:49
Nanchos? Okay?
21:00
The final thing on your list, because I didn't even finish
21:03
all the topic ideas, is how are
21:05
our New Year's Eve resolutions
21:07
doing?
21:07
Yeah? How are we doing?
21:09
Yeah?
21:09
Chicken? How are we doing?
21:10
I mean, I didn't even make any because I knew
21:13
I wasn't going to be able to uh them
21:15
hold up. So like I guess I'm doing
21:18
great.
21:18
Yeah, you got a lot of options. What
21:21
do we What are you feeling drawn to?
21:23
I think I want to talk about canolas, thank
21:27
you, because so
21:29
many places they do canoli's
21:32
and they do the chocolate drizzle on
21:34
top.
21:35
But I just I just want I don't want that a.
21:37
Regular you know, ricotta cream
21:40
inside of whatever the canole
21:42
cookie is. Maybe some chocolate chips,
21:45
either throughout or.
21:46
On the edges.
21:46
But I'm done with the chocolate drizzle.
21:49
How about this, I'll throw out the whole canoli.
21:52
I don't like Italian desserts that much,
21:54
do I ah to turncoats.
21:58
Jake, those little pieces of this little cookies with the three
22:00
different colors.
22:01
I like them, but I can't say I'm ecstatic
22:04
about them.
22:04
No, I don't need no. Italian desserts are never very
22:07
good to me. I feel like when Laura
22:09
we.
22:10
Hate Italian desserts.
22:12
What do you think?
22:13
She's Italian? Right here?
22:14
Maybe we never know because these names are off.
22:17
Sorry someone else, I am Italian?
22:20
So what an entrance?
22:21
You don't like Cano?
22:23
Well? I do, Chelsea doesn't.
22:25
I say that Canoli is the best and
22:28
the rest. Cannoli is the best
22:31
and the rest cannoli is
22:33
the best, and the rest
22:35
canoli is the best, and the
22:38
rest canoli is the best, and
22:41
the rest pinola
22:43
cookies. Maybe those are good. I like those
22:45
if they're fresh and good.
22:46
They're all very dry. Italian deserts
22:49
are all like to go with coffee or like marsala
22:51
or something.
22:53
Well, yeah, now do you like raccutta
22:56
canoli or do you like a like a? I
22:58
think there's two different kinds of dream, right we
23:01
and Chelsea is telling you say it's mars, but
23:04
I don't buy it, you know.
23:06
What, I have to be honest, I haven't really looked
23:08
into what the cream consists of, and
23:10
I've always just kind of enjoyed it.
23:13
But did you ever Okay?
23:17
Hello? I
23:20
know I stopped myself from saying
23:23
the names out loud.
23:23
Because people are like, what do you mean? Sorry? Sorry
23:25
my name?
23:26
And so then I stopped doing it, But they are they always
23:28
in my head. I'm thinking or Dy Rants,
23:31
Jordy Rants? Whose
23:33
name? That is your name?
23:38
Name?
23:38
I pay my own home bill?
23:40
Yeah, what
23:42
a king?
23:46
How's we're going good?
23:48
It's going good. We are manic. We had some
23:51
coffee. I didn't realize it was like, damn
23:53
near five o'clock. How do coffee
23:55
have a big day tomorrow? I'm a little worried.
23:57
What do you got?
23:58
What?
23:58
What's in a Chelsea big?
24:00
Yeah?
24:00
Well tomorrow it's just like three things
24:03
for press.
24:04
For my Okay, I'm very excited about this movie.
24:06
Thank you you were helpful.
24:08
I want to see it so bad, Chelsea.
24:10
I am like the biggest fan, like I cannot
24:12
wait to see it. I have been following
24:14
you since forever, since the old
24:17
school days, and it's
24:19
gonna be great.
24:19
I guess who the movie is going to be dedicated
24:21
to?
24:23
Is it me?
24:33
You already right?
24:37
I'm about to cry.
24:43
Has brought his own sound effects
24:45
to the podcast you already can't imagine.
24:50
Oh my gosh.
24:51
So I have things to bring to the table
24:53
unless there's the topic. Okay, So
24:58
I'm sure if
25:00
I could do a Brazilian food test for you, because
25:02
I lived in Brazil and I
25:05
have a few things that I'd like to roll through.
25:07
Okay, Oh oh
25:10
good.
25:12
I don't know. In the first
25:14
time of the show's history, I
25:17
don't know.
25:17
I think an Asa e bowl is like that's
25:20
I whenever I have those. I like Ansai ball.
25:22
My question is is it always a bowl
25:24
because I only know like the weird la like
25:28
like eating disorder version of what
25:30
ASA is. I don't
25:32
know what it is in Brazil to eat as.
25:34
Yeah, it's like it's got granola sometimes
25:37
if you want, it's got like swey banana,
25:40
you can put coconut flakes.
25:42
And I do a vanilla protein pattern
25:44
there, so good me.
25:46
Too the way yeah, come on, now
25:48
they do that in Brazil too, the way too. So so
25:52
so is it yes or no?
25:53
Chelsea?
25:55
I guess I'll go yes. I mean, here's what my reservation
25:57
is. When I have tried these bowls.
26:00
They're too sweet, too
26:02
sweet.
26:03
Too sweet, peanut butter
26:05
in there.
26:06
Oh my god, so you know that peanut
26:08
butter. Peanut butter. Peanut butter is emerged
26:11
as a dark uh dark
26:14
theme in the podcast Lately, where everyone's
26:16
favorite snack is just peanut butter dogs,
26:19
and Adam Scott came on, we tried treater Joe's
26:21
food and every snack he loves
26:24
is peanut butter based, and I was just like, it's not
26:26
that good of a flavor. Everyone. No,
26:28
I I look, it's a protein mechanism.
26:31
I'll take that. I I will
26:34
enjoy a Reese's
26:36
Peanut butter cup, but a I
26:38
don't need to have to. I can't. I can't get
26:40
in there.
26:41
That's why I'm like, yeah, that's a whole different
26:43
thing. And Reese's peanut butter cups are good. Let
26:45
me let me be the first to.
26:46
Say, I think that's the best way
26:49
that peanut butter has ever been served as in a Resa's
26:51
peanut butter cup.
26:52
Well, have you tried asa stick? What is it?
26:54
It's the thing.
26:55
It's like it's like a twig spar but
26:58
it's got like like a wafer
27:01
like it's like it's like a yeah, so
27:03
it's in this it's a shape of a twigs bar with
27:05
a wafer center instead of cookie center.
27:07
Here's what I'm going to say. Almost
27:10
one certain that
27:12
Twix is better than that.
27:14
I agree, Yeah, I agree.
27:16
I mean I'm not I'm not arguing that. I'm not arguing.
27:19
So that's yeah.
27:20
Okay, Okay, correct, correct, Okay.
27:24
Next chicken heart.
27:26
Wow you already he's gonna say yes. I'm
27:28
going to say no.
27:29
I know I'm going to say no.
27:32
Have you ever had him?
27:34
Follow up question?
27:36
I have? I have had a chicken heart and you liked
27:38
it?
27:38
Right.
27:39
Uh, yeah, No, I didn't love it. I didn't love
27:41
a chicken.
27:41
Heart, Okay.
27:43
I found it to be chewy and and like
27:46
I found it to be like it
27:48
like it was just a very chewy
27:51
piece of meat.
27:53
This is the thing with like awful not
27:56
a w f U L
27:58
but O f f A all like
28:02
body parts. I know they're eating all over the
28:04
globe and probably I could
28:06
acquire a taste for them and all that and
28:08
why but the texture of like brain,
28:11
the texture of like, you
28:14
know, the one thing I do like that might be gross
28:17
to people is like chicken gristle.
28:21
I say that, I mean, I understand what you're
28:23
saying.
28:23
Would you say you already.
28:26
Sorry? I don't like that very much.
28:29
All said to hang up. I'm sorry you'll
28:34
like gristle. You're out color.
28:38
We're doing a lot of rapid fire hang
28:40
ups, so please don't take a personal It's
28:43
a mandate from iHeartRadio. They
28:45
said, yeah, iHeart radio. Hanging
28:48
up on people almost instantaneously.
28:50
It's off your listeners. We want more of that.
28:54
Anyway. Do you like chicken grizzle?
28:56
Do I like chicken?
28:57
What grizzle?
29:03
Is that?
29:04
What that's like?
29:05
The neck?
29:06
No, that's no, that's a gizzard or something that.
29:08
No, this is like this is like the fat
29:11
around chicken, right, Like that's.
29:12
Like like it's like a it's like the
29:15
when you eat a chicken leg, the white cap
29:17
on the end of the bone. You ever known that?
29:19
Money?
29:21
No?
29:22
No, I don't.
29:22
I'm like, I'm not there yet.
29:24
Hung up. This is
29:26
horrible, I heard.
29:28
I don't know if this is it.
29:30
I like it.
29:30
We're getting way more collars and if we do it
29:33
this way. Hello, do you like chicken
29:35
grizzle? Chicken grizzle grizzle
29:38
grizzle?
29:38
Oh not really, I'm a vegetarian?
29:44
All
29:47
right, man?
29:48
This is like the Hello,
29:50
where are you calling from? England, Australia, Taiwan?
29:53
Where are you.
29:55
Australia?
29:57
Yeah, well,
30:06
let's throw another call on the
30:08
bar.
30:11
I know, can you imagine such
30:14
a good reference?
30:16
I've got to I've got a work
30:18
secret thing that's what you want.
30:21
And it's escape room related.
30:23
Oh I like this.
30:26
About eight about eight years ago,
30:29
maybe roughly, I worked
30:31
in an escape room and
30:35
the person who closed up the night before
30:38
didn't lock the dog properly, okay.
30:41
And then I also arrived late
30:43
because I was wrong about what time I was meant
30:46
to start. So when
30:49
I got there, the couple
30:51
who were the first booking of the day had
30:54
gone inside and treated
30:57
the entire building as
30:59
an escape room, going
31:01
into all different rooms looking for clues,
31:05
like into someone's office and
31:07
all different areas in this kind of warehouse,
31:10
and and they gathered
31:13
all these different things. When I arrived, they were
31:15
like, Okay, we think this key is important,
31:17
we think this thing is a clue. And they
31:20
were just seeing the entire building as one big
31:22
oh my, oh god.
31:26
They absolutely lost their minds.
31:28
They were in there for twelve hours. They're
31:30
like interlocking for maybe like
31:33
an hour or something.
31:34
I think, well, what I love about that is like
31:36
that they showed up and they were like, oh,
31:39
the whole thing is there's not an attendant.
31:41
We got to go in. And I love
31:43
I love that idea because it would they're
31:46
right, like they're like, okay, oh oh, this
31:48
door's kind of open. That's what they want us to do. Like
31:50
I can see themselves talking themselves into it
31:52
the entire time.
31:54
Yeah, yeah, it was crazy,
31:56
and it took a while to sort of bring
31:59
them into real and for them to come out.
32:01
Oh right, because they probably weren't believing you that
32:03
you're saying it's not an escape room.
32:06
How do you gage when to give someone
32:08
a hint or not. I'm into escape
32:10
rooms now. I don't know if you're aware of that or
32:12
not, but I did know that, Yeah, are you.
32:17
I can't find anyone to do it with me? Like that's
32:19
the tricky thing is my wife.
32:21
Is not gonna really June wouldn't
32:23
do it? Come on, Dune.
32:25
June thought where
32:27
I brought our for our anniversary
32:30
was an escape room and it was just a
32:32
nice hotel, like because it was like this
32:34
kind of like boutique hotel, like in
32:37
this weird area and it had like it
32:39
was very old fashioned, like
32:42
all right, I'm out and I'm like, no, it's
32:44
it's a hotel. She's like, no, it's not. I know it's scape
32:48
She literally was like she's like, I don't
32:50
want to do this. I don't want to play this game. And I'm
32:52
like, it's not. Like I was in the same
32:54
situation having to convince
32:56
her it was not escape room.
32:59
That doesn't bode well for that hotel.
33:01
I know they're decor It was a.
33:03
Little I mean, it was a little Walt Disney
33:05
like haunted mansion.
33:07
One time we went to well,
33:10
this is going to be a boring story anyway, sir,
33:12
what did you do? Did you ban them for life? Or
33:14
how did you handle this?
33:16
Uh? No, I just I mean they hadn't
33:18
done anything wrong. I guess the
33:21
reason this is sort of the work secret same
33:24
stories because I felt
33:26
bad about being like, oh, it's
33:29
not.
33:30
Really a work secret. It's more of a it's
33:32
more of just a funny story that happened to work.
33:34
That is funny though you're late, so people
33:36
run through every escape room thinking
33:38
it's all an interlocking world.
33:41
I think I didn't tell my bosses
33:44
at the time. Yeah, they were really nice
33:46
and probably would be okay with it. I think
33:48
that's the secret part because I felt
33:50
bad about being.
33:51
Slightly late, and we'll distort your voice.
33:54
I'm sure, Yeah, all
33:57
right, cut it.
34:01
Yeah.
34:01
I do love escape rooms. I need
34:04
if you have, you have a good wreck.
34:06
I'm looking for a new one. I'm
34:08
scared of, like, I don't want to do the escape rooms where
34:10
it's like you're in a cage and someone scary
34:13
escape rooms and it's like that's too much.
34:15
No, I look a smart, fun one. There's some good ones.
34:17
I'll show you what I got. Yeah, there's a good
34:20
podcast about escape room.
34:21
Really, God, God, there's
34:24
a podcast about fucking everything.
34:26
There's a there's a good one this guy Darren Boseman
34:28
does. It's not even an escape room. It's
34:31
like a horror experience.
34:34
And I went to one that was like
34:36
an adult slightly adult
34:38
because I saw like.
34:40
No thank you, no thank
34:42
you, no thank you,
34:46
no thank you, no
34:48
thank you, no
34:52
thank you, an adult
34:55
horror experience.
34:56
I'm like, well, it was like it was it
34:58
was this weird room. I went twice,
35:00
and the second time I went, I was brought up
35:02
into this room where like people were
35:05
like kind of fucking and I was like, oh yeah,
35:08
but not like not like.
35:09
The fucking as characters. Yes,
35:12
oh weird.
35:13
And then they did like a thing where the guy was
35:15
like came and then like touched
35:17
me, and.
35:19
That's not fun, you know.
35:21
I didn't want to escape room with Mosha that
35:24
had a live actor in it and it was
35:26
really funny, like you were it was. It was downtown
35:28
somewhere, I think it closed. I tried finding
35:30
it and it was
35:32
like you're in some old ladies mansion and you're trying
35:34
to have You're at a dinner party and
35:37
every time she leaves the room, you're trying to hunt for
35:39
clues. Great, but they're like you have to be
35:41
in your same seats when she comes back, and
35:43
that it was really fun. Collr
35:47
Hi. Hi, you like escape
35:49
rooms?
35:50
You know I've only ever been to one?
35:52
Okay, I don't. I guess that sort
35:54
of answers the question.
35:56
You didn't like it that much, but you The
35:58
thing I don't like about escape rooms is it seems
36:00
like you need a lot of people to go right or can you
36:02
just do two?
36:04
You got to get?
36:04
You need like about three or four, I don't know.
36:06
Let me tell you this. Me and Jordan started this
36:09
Sherlock Holmes mystery
36:11
thing, Okay, Like it's just like you get literally
36:13
like the case laid out for you. You have a
36:15
map.
36:16
Have you done this well? I got for June
36:18
for her birthday, I got her a cold
36:20
case file.
36:21
Yeah. It's kind of like that, but like set in the Sherlock
36:24
Homes the world at Multiverse.
36:29
I don't know, Spider Manlock.
36:33
So it was like a map
36:36
of London, a directory of contacts.
36:39
Anyway, we couldn't solve it. We still have to
36:41
finish it. But we're literally like reading
36:44
newspapers call it going
36:46
up and you know, following leads
36:48
going all over this fucking map of London.
36:51
And I'm like, I feel like we have no
36:53
idea who killed this man?
36:55
Well, that that is the cold case file I
36:57
gave June is about a high schooler who is killed
37:00
and you gotta figure out real No.
37:03
I mean I think because people
37:05
like, you know, like so many I'm so
37:08
late to everything. I'm always like this very late
37:10
adopter of things technology, but then
37:12
I get addicted. So you
37:14
know, everyone like it loves true
37:16
crime podcasts and stuff. So I finally, like, I
37:18
went to Santa Barbara and I listened to one on my drive
37:21
home, and now it's like I get the
37:23
appeal. It's like you're like, if I just think about
37:25
this enough, I'm going to figure out who murdered this.
37:27
Well it's then it becomes this like thing like I'm
37:29
in a weird zone where
37:33
I'm open to suggestion
37:36
that Scott Peterson did not kill Lacy Peterson
37:38
based on these these these podcasts
37:40
I've listened to, but I
37:42
don't.
37:42
Even know this case. Well, I just think that's a hilarious
37:45
zone to.
37:46
Me because it was the
37:48
media really made it like that Scott Peterson
37:50
killed his wife and pregnant wife and
37:53
that's what we And anyway, is this still one.
37:54
Rob Low played like lifetime?
37:57
Yes, I think, and so but
38:00
then there's been some evidence. But then I have another
38:02
friend who said, you can't think that. Here's some other
38:05
evidence. It's tricky,
38:07
it's tricky to get on. But he is getting a new trial.
38:09
Mm hm new trial.
38:11
Interesting.
38:12
So I mean, if if a judge
38:16
can have it, then you know, we'll see.
38:18
You know.
38:18
The one I really thought I could solve was
38:21
that little girl that was
38:23
in like the beauty pageants.
38:25
Oh John Benne, Yeah, that one.
38:28
I was pacing the floorboards
38:31
at night after watching a couple of things on that
38:33
and I'm like, okay, so it had to be like
38:35
I really felt it was within reach.
38:37
It's the brother. It has to be the brother.
38:39
Yeah, she ate his favorite snack.
38:41
Yeah right, It's like I feel like that's like, man,
38:44
you know, he.
38:45
Smeared fecal matter all over the place, blah
38:47
blah. But then there was also like a weird goal.
38:50
Her skull hole was the same
38:52
shape as the maglike flashlights, so
38:55
it was like the flashlights that had his fingerprints
38:57
on it.
38:58
Saw thank you, collar hang
39:02
up.
39:04
This way everyone gets to continue.
39:06
Yeah, it's great.
39:06
It's more fun, it's more democratic,
39:08
but it's also more dictatorial. But
39:10
it's also like you get out of the hut dictatorial.
39:13
Dictatorial is that a word? Maybe
39:16
it's a dictator, like yeah, dictorial?
39:18
Yeah?
39:18
Hi, And then I hang up.
39:21
That was his infat I would have been great,
39:24
that would have been amazing.
39:26
Thank you, so
39:30
help you don't the dog. If the dog barks, we are going to hang
39:33
up on you. Yeah.
39:34
No, I just have a cat.
39:35
He doesn't bark, all right, if I hung up
39:37
because I don't like cats.
39:38
Oh, another great moment.
39:40
I was talking to my friend who has like
39:43
my friend has OCD, and I was asking him,
39:45
like, what is it. Well, a
39:47
lot of comedians have OCD, is what
39:49
I'm learning. Yeah, and I didn't
39:52
know that intrusive thoughts is part of it, because
39:55
but.
39:56
Don't we all have intrusive I was intrusive,
39:58
so this is what I was saying.
40:01
But he agree, yeah, because
40:03
I go all the time. I'm like, like, literally
40:05
five times I've thought of hanging up on you, you
40:08
know, but you know, all the time, I
40:10
think like, what if I just veered my car and hit this
40:12
peron?
40:14
That's that's the thing you're.
40:15
Gonna do it?
40:16
Can you at least play the sound effect this
40:19
one?
40:27
But anyway, I was like, isn't that just like a comedian's
40:29
mind, like what if I did this? Wouldn't it be funny thing?
40:32
But he was saying like, no, it's like more extreme
40:34
to where like if he sees a steak knife, he's like,
40:36
what if I stab my boyfriend in the
40:38
leg with it to the point where he doesn't order
40:41
steak?
40:43
Oh that's
40:46
rough. Yeah, that may be more
40:48
than just like o c D.
40:50
That's something you should talk to a health professional about.
40:52
Probably, Yeah, that's not OCD. I feel
40:54
like that. I feel like a lot of people are out there
40:57
misdiagnosing themselves. That's
40:59
not OCD.
40:59
No, but I think it might be. I don't know. I
41:02
But then I'm like, well, then should I get this is where we're
41:04
talking about, like diagnosing? You know,
41:06
I'm like, well, am I OCD? Because
41:09
I do feel like I care so much
41:12
about things? Is that OCD? I
41:14
just feel like I want to know.
41:16
I think that there's levels of a lot of different
41:18
things you're talking about being an emotional person,
41:20
you care about like do you care about people
41:23
or do you care about how people view you? Or do you care
41:25
a lot about Like are you thinking about
41:27
like purely your family stuff?
41:29
Just like everything. I care
41:32
more about everything than most people
41:34
I encounter. And that's been since
41:36
I was a kid, like at school, Like I
41:38
just feel like, you know, when I was I was
41:41
in the car reading about highly sensitive
41:43
people or whatever, and it
41:46
was saying that twenty percent of people
41:48
are you know, but
41:51
it's not actually I don't think even a real
41:53
thing. But it said twenty.
41:55
Percent of people are it, okay
41:58
percent people are highly sense Yeah, okay,
42:01
so but that is like, you know, I don't think you
42:03
are. I don't think you can be because
42:05
you couldn't get on stage, right, No,
42:09
because like then, I think
42:11
if you would get on stage, it would be too overwhelming because
42:13
you'd be looking at too many people.
42:15
But I think it has different manifestations, Like it
42:17
was saying, like for some people, it's like loud
42:19
sounds are overwhelming.
42:21
That's a June thing.
42:22
Yeah, like I you know, and like you have
42:24
to retreat.
42:24
I sorry to interrupt, but isn't
42:27
that overwhelming for everyone that don't you get like disturbed
42:29
if all of a sudden something goes.
42:31
Off like yeah, exactly do you feel anything?
42:34
Or me for instance putting in on the conversation.
42:37
But that's also that's also autistic.
42:40
Maybe I'm autistic.
42:42
Get diagnosed. What if I was?
42:44
I mean, it's just kind of crazy, right, Like I I
42:46
just keep going what if? Everyone
42:49
just like what if?
42:50
Well, look I will tell you. I will say that I just want on
42:52
a vacation with my family. We're having a great day,
42:55
everything is going perfectly, and
42:57
then I get depressed.
42:59
I'm like, well, when is when is this going to end? Yeah?
43:01
What's gone? Something terrible is going to happen? And
43:04
that to me, like that's
43:07
an intrusive thought.
43:08
No, that literally was an
43:10
example in this highly sensitive
43:13
personal thing. Oh now I just have
43:15
Stu Leonards Canoli dip open on my phone.
43:18
I'm gonna made
43:20
out of I.
43:20
Looked it up when you mentioned it, and now I'm
43:23
like, wait, I had my highly sensitive people.
43:25
Okay, So one other thing I thought
43:27
it's said that was interesting. This is on very well
43:29
mined.
43:31
It's says, oh
43:34
this is Stu Leonards can dip is one of their best
43:36
sellers in the year.
43:37
Sieve that
43:40
we're jumping between can only
43:42
dip and highly sensitive people.
43:46
We should do simultaneous monologue.
43:48
Oh, this tells you how to make it. I think.
43:50
Okay, good figure this out.
43:52
Okay, I've been the most confusing, uh
43:55
conversation to just drop it on. But
43:57
I love everybody.
43:58
Okay, So Chelsea, Uh,
44:02
this is with ricotta, but it's
44:04
a different rikutta. This is milk
44:06
starter in salt, confectionery
44:08
sugar.
44:08
Oh.
44:08
Maybe that's what I'm looking for, vanilla
44:11
powder and uh and
44:14
salt. Okay, Okay,
44:17
maybe there's different kinds of recutta. Okay,
44:19
rocoot. That's my grandma calls it. Get
44:23
some.
44:25
I like that you're vamping with this right now because
44:27
I really am trying to find something. No one
44:29
thing that was interesting. This, this is very
44:31
wellmind dot com says. Research
44:34
also shows that a lack of parental warmth
44:36
growing up may cause a child to develop
44:39
high sensitivity.
44:40
But believe me, I I mean I I
44:44
what's your trauma, Paul. Oh, I've read a whole I've
44:46
read a whole book. My book is called Joyful Recollections
44:48
of Trauma comes.
44:48
Out really.
44:56
I've already pre ordered.
44:57
Yeah, thank you.
45:00
What do you think Paul's trauma is.
45:02
I mean, if I've listened to his podcast
45:04
for years, there's there's a lot going on from
45:07
the sounds of it.
45:08
Yeah, you're You're not wrong. I you
45:10
know, I think when I sat down to write the book,
45:13
more things came into focus than I even realized.
45:15
Repressed memories, not even.
45:17
Repressed memories, but like when you put it all down,
45:19
because I was like, I was very intent on going if
45:21
I'm writing a book, I don't want to just do like a bunch
45:23
of anecdotes. I wanted to tell like I
45:25
wanted to make it like bookworthy and then kind
45:28
of yeah, to not make it just
45:31
funny. Oh yeah, yeah. Then you're like, there's
45:33
some stuff, there's some stuff. But I think you're right. I think
45:35
that, like when you see issues
45:38
around you, you are.
45:40
Yeah, I think that sensitive people.
45:42
I mean, but I don't think that only
45:44
twenty percent of people are sensitive, highly
45:46
sensitive, highly sensitive. Well what's the difference.
45:50
I'm so annoyed that I can't find the paragraph
45:52
that spoke to me as I'm scrolling through
45:54
this, But basically I'm saying it actually could
45:56
correlate with like survival.
45:58
Here's okay. I'm gonna give you the test. I give you the highly sensitive
46:01
person.
46:01
Yeah, this is good, but site, I think site where
46:03
you're getting it from?
46:05
Okay, my personality dot
46:07
net?
46:09
Hold on?
46:13
All right? Okay, you
46:15
prefer a step by step
46:18
approach? Agree or disagree?
46:21
Disagree?
46:22
Agree? I can't do you both color.
46:25
Hold on, I'm hanging up.
46:29
You're a pretty moody person. Yeah, you're
46:31
a confident, outgoing person most of the time. I
46:35
don't know how to exactly I say, yes,
46:37
you prefer working alone? No, disagree?
46:40
Okay. Uh, you're able to stay on
46:42
track after your plans become disrupted.
46:44
No, that's hard for me. That's really hard.
46:46
Okay, so disagree. You
46:49
tend to remain cool, calm, and collected under pressure.
46:52
I can, but not always.
46:55
Well, that's what you gotta tell me.
46:56
Like I mean, for example, directing my movie, I felt
46:58
pretty pretty collected, considering
47:01
how challenging.
47:02
That's all right, that's good. You're comfortable discussing
47:04
unusual and controversial topics. Yes, okay,
47:07
sometimes you see we're gonna we're
47:09
gonna fit. This is too many questions, too many questions. You
47:11
enjoy a good argument or debate. Yeah, all
47:14
right, we're gonna get in there.
47:17
This is this is you could take this whole test, but a lot of
47:19
these I could go either way.
47:20
Well, I mean, yeah, I think it's sometimes you have to like, oh,
47:23
okay, okay, here it is. Okay, is
47:26
it highly sensitive autism
47:28
or ADHD? This is the thing?
47:30
All right?
47:31
So this is yes, So this is the
47:33
the overlap is sensory
47:36
sensitivity value driven
47:39
deeply impacted by emotional tone.
47:41
The all seem right?
47:43
This is like, yeah, this is a deep procrastination
47:46
or deep processing which
47:48
sorry, it was deep processing.
47:51
Both.
47:51
I agree with big emotions. Yeah, anxiety
47:55
when adjusting to new context, so
47:57
to warm up to new changes sensitively,
48:00
I don't know, not always. Okay, So this you
48:02
are You're right in the middle
48:06
of autistic
48:08
and highly sensitive, which might be ADHD.
48:12
This gives no information.
48:14
I mean, they have this cool graph right there.
48:16
Let me tell you because I took yeah, Meyers
48:19
Briggs, which I have talked about at length on
48:21
this podcast. But I was between intro extrovert
48:24
okay, queen thinking and feelings.
48:26
See, I wanted to write a whole chapter in my book called an
48:28
introverted extrovert because
48:31
I feel like there are I want to be alone
48:33
a lot, but then I also want to be out with the people.
48:35
Well, don't you feel like entertainment is kind of perfect
48:37
for that because you're like in a huge crowd
48:40
or on a set with tons of people, and then
48:42
you're just alone and go back to your trailer.
48:44
Yeah, okay, so this is interesting. This is highly
48:46
sensitive or autistic, and then there's a middle
48:48
ground. So if I think this is going to.
48:50
Be you, okay, you you
48:53
think I'm half autistic?
48:54
No, I think that you are in between
48:56
both, which is you have easily
49:00
overstimulated a
49:02
rich inner life.
49:03
Yeah, imagine
49:05
not having a rich in her life.
49:07
Well, do you prefer meaningful conversation about
49:09
shared interest versus small talk? Yes?
49:12
This is what does that make you? This
49:14
makes you in the middle a human beings
49:17
have small talk? Who's like I love small talk?
49:19
People do people?
49:21
But they're the sick ones.
49:23
All right? And then like this is autistic? Do you
49:25
I should keep on saying? I keep on?
49:28
Yeah.
49:29
Do you are you anxious when competing
49:32
or being observed completing a task?
49:35
Yes?
49:36
Time pressure is perceived as stressful. Yep,
49:39
you are highly sensitive. Yeah, this is
49:41
it. You're highly sensitive because everything. Yeah,
49:44
okay, you're highly sensitive.
49:45
But it's like that's apparently not even
49:47
a thing.
49:48
It's highly sensitive.
49:49
Well, that article that I was reading was
49:52
saying like it's not really
49:56
that's not a like like, okay, this very well
49:59
mind dot com article.
50:00
Okay, I can't wait.
50:04
That's it said that it's
50:07
a neurodivergent individual who's
50:09
thought to have an increased or deeper central nervous
50:11
system sensitivity to physical, emotional,
50:14
or social stimuli.
50:15
Okay.
50:16
The term was first coined by psychologists
50:18
Elaine Aaron and Arthur Aaron in the mid nineties.
50:21
Already suspect the nineties and nineties.
50:23
Come on a nineties label.
50:28
You get a free power bar when you're diagnosed.
50:31
Anyway, I do avoid violent
50:34
movies. I am deep. This is their list.
50:36
Being deeply moved by beauty, Yes, I am
50:38
wow. Overwhelmed by sensory stimuli.
50:42
Yes. I hate crowds literally
50:44
really avoid crowds like nobody's
50:47
business. However, if
50:49
I have VIP type
50:52
of treatment in which I can have access to a
50:54
bathroom.
50:55
Yeah and space, Yes,
50:57
space is important.
50:58
Then I'm fine with crowd.
51:00
Are you aware? Of the subtleties around you.
51:02
No, we have competing lists. I
51:05
am aware of the subtleties around me. I guess
51:08
I don't even know what that means.
51:09
Really, Well, you're kicking in like, oh, that person doesn't
51:11
like that person. That's an energy.
51:13
Oh my god, time is a racing
51:15
past all right? Sorry, Okay, having a feeling
51:18
a need for downtime, but who doesn't. Yeah,
51:21
having a rich and complex inner life. Like you're just
51:23
walking around like boom, you don't
51:25
hear nothings. Listen watching Love
51:28
is Blind? Are you watching?
51:29
I am watching pieces of it?
51:31
The hell does that mean?
51:32
Well, June is watching it, and I come in, I'm watching
51:35
Bosh right now.
51:35
I need to have June on this podcast. Okay,
51:39
that's my girl. I need June.
51:41
I can talk about it a little bit, I think maybe.
51:43
Well, anyway, the point, the only point I was going to
51:45
actually make, is just that sometimes when I'm watching
51:48
couples talk, I'm like, wow, so this is
51:50
what dumb people talk like.
51:52
Oh, well, these shows are the worst because it's like
51:54
they always are talking about talking like
51:57
I feel like, you know, it's like it's like, hey, you
51:59
said that thing. Like I was watching that one episode
52:01
where it was like, what was
52:04
the argument was so stupid? It
52:06
was like he
52:09
didn't wish she wore makeup that
52:11
thing. Did you watch that where he's like, I just didn't
52:14
like that you wore makeup.
52:15
No, I didn't see that. Oh, that's like that's
52:17
towards the end of the beginning.
52:19
Well, they're still in the middle of the season, right, because every
52:21
episode is one.
52:22
I'm all caught up, so I must have just somehow, yeah,
52:24
because.
52:24
It was like this whole thing is like you just wore makeup and it really
52:26
just made me upset. And she's like I didn't
52:29
know and I'm sorry, and he's like, you just wore makeup.
52:31
I just I don't know what's going on with
52:33
you.
52:33
I thought, are you sure this is this season?
52:35
I know it's a season. I think,
52:38
well, what a disaster.
52:41
I don't remember that.
52:43
Police Gina, How is that possible?
52:46
Is this you?
52:47
Hello?
52:48
Yes? Yes?
52:50
Yes?
52:50
Did you make your name? Paul
52:53
wants me to hang up instantly. Did
52:56
you make your name? Police Gina?
52:59
My name is.
53:01
Oh easy.
53:13
Police. You know I thought
53:15
you were a super friend.
53:19
Sorry?
53:20
Is that a big thing? No, it's not a deal. It's not
53:22
a deal breaker in our household. But we're just
53:24
talking about you know, Italian.
53:29
Oh my god, that is awful. Never
53:32
bring your own sound effect for it. That's
53:35
the lesson on that one. Okay,
53:37
wait, hold on, I almost knocked my knee
53:39
on. Okay. We're talking
53:41
about a lot of stuff, but
53:44
one of the ones I think is sorry,
53:51
one of the ones that I particularly
53:53
think is interesting we're talking about right now
53:56
is highly sensitive people.
53:57
Have you heard of this HSP?
54:00
Highly of the people is that people
54:02
who like their feelings are hurt a lot.
54:04
Yeah, kind of.
54:05
Yeah, but it's more of a disorder. No,
54:09
it's it is looking
54:12
up HSP. You could either be Some people
54:14
think, oh am I autistic? Or do I have HSP?
54:17
I don't. I don't think it is a disorder,
54:19
and neither is autism. Being
54:21
on the spectrum isn't like disorder. That's
54:25
okay, neurodivergent. I think the language
54:27
around all this has shifted to be a bit more
54:30
acknowledging that most people are on the
54:32
spectrum some way or another, and
54:34
also that it should be a gift.
54:37
I mean, by the way, I don't think I mean that's
54:40
yeah, I.
54:40
Mean, let's
54:42
use this as a clip.
54:47
Okay, I thought you guys were talking about work.
54:50
Oh yeah, but it went off the rails.
54:52
Now we're in this other place.
54:53
Speaking of divergent topic divergent
54:56
Okay, No, do you have a work story
54:58
behind the scenes.
55:00
Well, it's just that I made a major work
55:03
like career shift. That used to be a
55:05
therapist and then I
55:07
quit working for a long time because I have a bunch
55:10
of kids. And now I went back to work
55:13
and I'm doing something completely entry
55:15
level and it's just and I'm almost
55:17
fifty, and it's just really weird to be what
55:20
is my age?
55:22
What's the new thing you're doing?
55:25
So I'm working in a theater or box office.
55:28
From a therapist to a theater box office. This
55:30
is kind of what you like to see, like from the lawyer
55:32
to the guy who works in Well,
55:34
he didn't. He went to become a lawyer, but
55:36
we wanted him to go like work it another
55:39
fought. Yeah, right,
55:42
what theater do you work at.
55:45
Or what kind of it's Oh,
55:47
it's just like it's a performance venue for music
55:50
and comedy and all that kind
55:52
of stuff.
55:54
So, okay, you're fifty years old, you've
55:56
made a career change. This is I think
55:59
common right now, because I think the pandemic
56:01
kind of shook up a bunch of people's lives.
56:03
Did it play a role in any way? Were you sick
56:05
of giving therapy to people who are losing their
56:08
minds in the pandemic?
56:10
Well, I did a specialized kind of therapy
56:14
for people with severe personality
56:16
starters.
56:17
And wait a minute, were
56:23
we just talking about.
56:26
Okay?
56:27
Wait, do you think I have a severe personality?
56:30
This Twitter?
56:32
So I can't believe I got the jackpot.
56:34
This is like the highlight of my life. Second
56:37
of all, No, I mean I don't know you, so
56:40
I couldn't.
56:40
Say diagnose or diagnose or diagnos.
56:45
Never never never. No, I think I think you
56:47
have a great personality. I love your personality.
56:50
Do you think she's an HSP?
56:54
Yeah? Yeah, you're probably a highly
56:56
sensitive person. Are you also a tetro
56:59
cromat?
57:00
Oh?
57:01
What what's that?
57:03
It's like, it's not really related to a personality.
57:06
It's a person who can see more
57:08
nuanced than colors, like.
57:11
Oh, yes, I've heard about this, Like
57:13
what yeah.
57:15
You know, like I might look
57:17
at something that somebody else is saying
57:20
that's pink, and I'm going, well, it's
57:22
not really pink. It's kind of you know, more
57:25
yellow than you whatever. I'm just it's just like
57:27
a person who can perceive a lot more color.
57:30
It's not important, you know, I just know it is important.
57:32
This is You're right on the money here. This is what we
57:34
need. We need a professional to analyze
57:37
our personality.
57:38
I like this a lot. I want to give
57:40
you a color test right now.
57:42
Let me tell you, though, why you're looking for that.
57:44
Yes.
57:46
One thing is every time I am talking
57:48
about a color, I like, that's blue
57:51
to me, people are like, that's gray.
57:55
That's one thing.
57:56
Yeah.
57:57
Second of all, a lot of blue and gray.
57:59
Yeah.
57:59
So I also dress what
58:02
the dress thing? Right?
58:04
No, No, I'm talking about like paint colors. Actually,
58:06
but yeah, the dress was a whole different thing, wasn't
58:09
it Because it was like an optical illusion or something.
58:11
I don't think that's what What was that?
58:16
I I mean, I don't know that's that's also
58:19
that whole like Yanny Laurel
58:21
thing. I never that was
58:24
so bizarre. I could not believe
58:26
that anybody heard whatever the thing was that I wasn't
58:28
hearing. And same thing with the dress. I
58:30
don't know. It probably has something
58:32
to do with like cone receptors in
58:35
our eyes.
58:35
You know.
58:36
Okay, so I played this board game this
58:39
weekend that we
58:42
should link. Ut, I know, I really liked this, And I've
58:44
always tried to kind of be friends with Paul
58:46
and June but never really got much of a nibble.
58:49
Well that
58:52
we don't go, we don't.
58:53
I just always felt like me and June
58:56
and Casey should be buddies, and
58:59
I mean it would be a lovely action.
59:02
But listen, those two it's like a fortress
59:04
you can't get in.
59:05
Oh my gosh, you know what it is. It's I don't
59:07
think we even do that much. I mean, our lives
59:09
are basically just say, going to basketball games like
59:11
kids in soccer games, right.
59:13
Right, But listen, I do think that
59:15
my interests right now are really fruitful
59:17
for new friendships.
59:19
I feel interesting
59:21
you and seth Rogen.
59:23
Yeah, but I don't make, you know, stuff
59:26
like that.
59:28
What do you make it?
59:29
I'm making, like, you know, vases
59:32
and folk art and creatures
59:36
and whatever, right, creatures,
59:39
yeah, kind of. I made
59:41
a necklace like pendance. I'm just
59:43
trying all kinds of stuff.
59:44
I take a look, this is your color
59:46
sensitivity here.
59:47
Identify which color below is
59:49
the same color as the one inside the box.
59:51
Okay, well you know I also want to take that super
59:54
Tester taste test.
59:56
I have to order that from Amazon. Okay,
59:58
the one that's the same. Hmmm,
1:00:01
I think it is.
1:00:02
This is hard, Gina, talk
1:00:05
to me about that, because I I think maybe I have misread
1:00:08
it when I said, uh, there
1:00:11
is personality disordered and not anymore.
1:00:13
You got to click click it. You got
1:00:15
to take a couple of these, take a couple of let's see, le's
1:00:17
see if you're sensitive. I don't
1:00:19
think she's sensitive, but unless.
1:00:22
Are a thing. I just think the
1:00:25
whole idea of the spectrum is kind of
1:00:27
more where it's that got it. So it's
1:00:29
sort of like spectrum of everything.
1:00:30
We all have a personality disorder, but it's
1:00:32
like where we are, Like it's sort of like we
1:00:35
are all on the same rainbow. Some of us are
1:00:37
over here, some of us are over here, and that's
1:00:39
and that's the whole thing. We're on the we're all on
1:00:41
the road, but some of us were
1:00:44
different disorder thing.
1:00:45
I hope we move away at some point from
1:00:48
thinking everything is a disorder and illness
1:00:50
and malfunction because you don't
1:00:53
see anybody who you go, oh, yeah, that person
1:00:55
is just totally normal, right,
1:00:58
So like.
1:00:58
We are equating to me, there's a fall equivalency
1:01:00
that there's a normal and there's no normal.
1:01:03
I like that.
1:01:04
Now we're going to find out whether or not Chelsea
1:01:07
is going to have her color where
1:01:09
her sensitive color is. Now you work at a comedy
1:01:11
music venue. Are you happy
1:01:14
with this new life choice?
1:01:15
Paul's eliminated me as a host.
1:01:17
He's
1:01:19
literally put me on a screen like a child,
1:01:22
and now take it over my podcast. He already
1:01:24
brought his own fucking soundboard and
1:01:27
now he's truly eliminated one.
1:01:29
I want to see if you could do the color test,
1:01:31
like this is going to be important for us and
1:01:34
the show to find out. So what funny thing
1:01:36
happened.
1:01:39
That diagnostic?
1:01:40
Yeah, Gina,
1:01:45
you said there is nothing.
1:01:47
I'm just the one.
1:01:48
I'm in a soundboard spectrum.
1:01:55
That is hilarious.
1:01:56
I do have a can I I think
1:01:58
you should get a cund effect that I have. Is it
1:02:00
goes like this bazinga?
1:02:04
Absolutely not not in my character
1:02:06
in the slightest.
1:02:07
To have a you're you are definitely you.
1:02:09
It would be so much fun. A little bazinga this
1:02:12
is hard long. Oh
1:02:14
sorry, okay, wait, these tests are too long.
1:02:16
We need to have like a four question test diagnosed.
1:02:19
I know you know that this is just fucking
1:02:21
probably. You know that a lot of these things you're just feeding
1:02:23
AI, like you're just giving
1:02:26
AI data so that itnes
1:02:28
well.
1:02:28
I won't make you do it. I won't make you know, I mean I now,
1:02:30
I.
1:02:30
Want to know if I've seen these colors.
1:02:32
This is how they get you.
1:02:34
What funny thing happened to you?
1:02:36
Me?
1:02:37
Yeah? Or
1:02:39
is there a funny secret do you have about working at
1:02:41
this uh, this job, this new job.
1:02:44
No, it's no.
1:02:45
No. The thing I was gonna say about working is like it's
1:02:48
very I'm not fifty.
1:02:51
I'm closing in on fifty.
1:02:53
We don't we don't really distinguish, like
1:02:55
to me, I forget literally, first of all, I just had
1:02:57
a birthday. I forget how old I am.
1:02:59
All right, and then people get on my case,
1:03:01
like tell me how old.
1:03:03
I'm blotting it out because basically, as soon
1:03:05
as I was twenty eight, I'm like it's over. I'm thirty.
1:03:07
Yeah, and now I think I'm nearing fifty.
1:03:09
I'm like, all right, I'm some old hag like it's
1:03:11
all day.
1:03:12
I let it all drop out, yes, like, let it go, let
1:03:14
it go, let it go. Look, but my everyone's
1:03:16
intent on telling me how old I am. I'm like, what
1:03:19
do you care? I don't care that much.
1:03:22
We'll live.
1:03:23
But do you guys are
1:03:25
not?
1:03:25
I don't think. Well tell me, are
1:03:27
you in a position anymore where
1:03:30
people who are twenty two have
1:03:32
like a position above you?
1:03:35
Oh that's interesting. Yeah, I think we are. I think
1:03:37
that we are in a world where we
1:03:40
could be directed by somebody very young like that. We
1:03:42
have to work with people who are young like that. You know,
1:03:44
that's the you know, Hollywood, it's
1:03:47
all by the young people, right, I mean, come on, this
1:03:49
is it. The young people come in, they
1:03:51
tell us what to do, and then if we agree with them, we
1:03:53
get to stay in Hollywood. If we disagree, they kick
1:03:56
us out. They get us out of there, like
1:03:58
chaze, like, what's your decorum?
1:04:00
How do you?
1:04:02
Like?
1:04:02
What do you do when a
1:04:04
twenty two year old is telling you something
1:04:07
that you know is completely
1:04:10
wrong? But your job
1:04:12
is to say, okay, that's
1:04:15
if.
1:04:15
They're your boss, right, they're your boss?
1:04:19
Yeah?
1:04:20
Well, I mean I can say that I've listened to people
1:04:22
who are older than me be completely
1:04:24
wrong and you just listen to them and you
1:04:26
go, okay, as long as you're paying the
1:04:28
babe, you know, like as long as you're right in the checks, right.
1:04:31
I mean there's like because like that's the same thing.
1:04:33
It's like, why do we put more respect on the older
1:04:36
I talk to my parents sometimes they say things that are
1:04:38
completely wrong. I just go, huh, got got
1:04:41
it, Like you've listen and you know right. But
1:04:43
it feels worse when it's with a younger,
1:04:46
like you feel like, ah, I know more than you, right, you
1:04:48
feel like you should have that status.
1:04:50
But I think it's even that I feel like I
1:04:52
know.
1:04:53
More than them, it's that they feel it seems
1:04:55
like they think I know nothing.
1:04:59
Of course you don't
1:05:01
know.
1:05:01
I'm colorblind too. I have a
1:05:03
I have a very low color sensitivity.
1:05:07
Really what colors can't you see?
1:05:09
I don't know.
1:05:09
I mean I can see that's red, but you always makes
1:05:11
fun of me. I can't see like the subtleties of certain
1:05:14
colors.
1:05:16
I mean, this will never end. This test that Paul
1:05:18
gave me to eliminade me for my podcast.
1:05:22
Wait, what what was your question?
1:05:24
You have fifty year old you nearly
1:05:27
fifty year old?
1:05:28
Wanted to say, can you can you take a note from
1:05:30
a twenty year old, like if I came in here?
1:05:32
Of course there, I said, of course,
1:05:34
all right, good, No, you guys are right,
1:05:37
but everybody with you.
1:05:39
We're in a business that young
1:05:41
people are. God, that's what I of
1:05:43
course we're going to listen. Then we need those paychecks
1:05:45
to keep rolling in.
1:05:46
We want to be in bottoms too.
1:05:48
Listen, answer.
1:05:54
Gaol, I love.
1:05:55
You guys, you're the best.
1:05:57
She's wrapping it up you.
1:05:59
Literally, she's saying up on us, don't
1:06:02
you dare?
1:06:04
Paul almost hung up on you. He's taking
1:06:06
over from every angle. Okay,
1:06:09
tell me he's gonna be Look, I'm going to go out
1:06:11
of here, and his car is going to be somehow in my
1:06:13
garage and I'm going to be on the street. Okay,
1:06:16
wait, were you winding up with a question.
1:06:19
No, I just wanted
1:06:21
to say thank you. You know, you
1:06:24
literally saved my life. I
1:06:26
said, host partum depression
1:06:28
three times. Listen, both of
1:06:30
you listen to your podcasts,
1:06:33
like, honestly, was so so
1:06:36
so important for me.
1:06:37
Thank you, well, thank you, I mean, listen on
1:06:40
a serious note. I then
1:06:43
I wanted to say something funny. I was
1:06:45
like, do I have a fart sound effect? No, but on a serious
1:06:48
note, I do
1:06:51
literally as a highly
1:06:53
sensitive person. That's what I
1:06:55
think is so amazing about comedy is
1:06:58
that it helps people. It
1:07:00
helps people get through things. And I'm not trying to be self
1:07:03
aggrandizing. It helps me when I'm
1:07:05
watching funny things.
1:07:06
I agree with you. I think that's exactly
1:07:08
what it does. And so anyway, so
1:07:11
thank you, and I'm so happy I got the jack. Wait
1:07:15
before, and I can't believe you're.
1:07:16
Not friends with Can you imagine?
1:07:19
Like I'm like, oh, pick a ball. I'm into pickle
1:07:21
ball, I'm into escape rooms. June's not, though,
1:07:23
But I I think they should embrace
1:07:26
me as a friend. Okay, oh wait, I need
1:07:28
you to Okay,
1:07:30
wait, but but please before you go diagnosis,
1:07:33
do we have anything aside from narcissism?
1:07:36
That's a given in this business,
1:07:38
in this town. That's a given. But is there anything
1:07:41
else you don't? Do you think I could
1:07:43
be autistic? Paul
1:07:50
thinks, So, Paul thinks, I am absolutely.
1:07:52
Not, absolutely not. What
1:07:58
I think is like, you guys have personalities.
1:08:01
I mean that a lot of I don't
1:08:03
know. There is sort of like a generalization
1:08:07
of personality, sort of in the age
1:08:10
of the Internet, of monoculture
1:08:12
all that stuff, like Wow, I really appreciate
1:08:15
having a bold stance, a
1:08:17
bold take, a real personality, like
1:08:20
something that makes you unique.
1:08:22
I like it.
1:08:23

Yes, I'll try. Hi, Chelsea,
1:09:03

1:09:05
How are you?
1:09:05
Hi?

Paul Hill and
1:09:08
I see from your name on the screen your name is Wireless.
1:09:11
It's an interesting name, Wireless collar.
1:09:14
I have bad news. My
1:09:16
color vision score is
1:09:18
sixty five out of one hundred, and
1:09:21
it says color is not your
1:09:23
area of expert and
1:09:27
then it goes in smaller fun Maybe you're
1:09:29
more sensitive to sound like is
1:09:31
that like a consolation?
1:09:34
So this whole just so you know, this whole
1:09:37
episode A Chelsea believed that she was
1:09:39
sensitive to color. We just didn't.
1:09:41
I didn't. First of all, I did said that
1:09:44
fucking fifty year old implied
1:09:46
I might have color sensitivity because I was
1:09:49
questioning if I'm a highly sensitive and.
1:09:51
Then you literally said that.
1:09:53
God Paul
1:09:56
brought like he's moving incited.
1:09:59
It's this is great, all right, so
1:10:02
what are you calling about? Yeah?
1:10:03
And how do you make this podcast mean something?
1:10:06
On account? Actually, after the drum roll, imbue
1:10:09
this moment, this call and this podcast.
1:10:12
You're going to be the Jerry Springer. You're going to give the final
1:10:14
moment. You're going to give the reflection having
1:10:17
not heard the podcast, of what this
1:10:19
podcast means.
1:10:21
Okay, all right, after the drum
1:10:24
roll, I
1:10:32

1:10:35
good coscepts.
1:10:39
Okay, that
1:10:53

1:11:03
Okay.
1:11:04
At the end of the drum roll, announce something, Chelsea.
1:11:15
I love you.
1:11:21
Well, that's as good a way to end as any
1:11:24
you know what. Love makes the world
1:11:26
go round.
1:11:27
Amen, from a highly sensitive person,
1:11:30
that is the truth statement. You could possibly all.
1:11:32
We want is love, as me and Paul are both
1:11:34
highly sensitive people. You know, I don't
1:11:36
know if you are. You didn't share your diagnosis with me,
1:11:38
but I wanted off the air. I'll tell you so
1:11:42
anyhow. Joel Sullivan.
1:11:46
J.
1:11:46
Sullo, you're
1:11:49
a j old soul. All right, listen,
1:11:51
this has to end.
1:11:53
Whoa not
1:12:00
like a real doctor?
1:12:01
Hold on, say it again, Say it again. Say
1:12:03
actually, I'm I'm a doctor.
1:12:05
Actually I'm a doctor.
1:12:08
You don't belong he.
1:12:15
Actually, you kind of do belong here because
1:12:18
we are trying to get people to diagnose us with
1:12:20
personality disorders.
1:12:22
What kind of doctor are you?
1:12:24
Yeah? What are you?
1:12:25
Well, yeah, I'm not a real doctor. I'm just a veterinarian.
1:12:29
Oh but if but if that that'll
1:12:31
do? As
1:12:34
a as a convict ever knocked on your door two
1:12:36
in the morning and be like I've been shot and you have to
1:12:39
like take out their bullet and give him dog dog
1:12:41
pills to get through it, like
1:12:43
on bosh.
1:12:45
You know it hasn't happened yet. But I do live in like
1:12:47
the inner city, So.
1:12:53
What a crazy place to bathy
1:12:56
a city, not the oudor
1:12:58
city.
1:13:04
Bottles crashing around in the
1:13:06
city, out
1:13:09
of my way, come over to the
1:13:11
vet.
1:13:12
Hey,
1:13:15
what where you're going your big goat
1:13:17
the city?
1:13:19
The inner city?
1:13:23
Well here.
1:13:23
So the thing is I am.
1:13:25
I'm a mobile veterinarian, so I keep on
1:13:27
my side and
1:13:32
so I have to be very careful of who
1:13:34
I tell that I have things like ketamine
1:13:36
and opioids just in a safe in my
1:13:38
closet. But I guess you and all your
1:13:40
podcast stands will know that now too.
1:13:43
Yummy. I
1:13:46
had to take fentanyl when I was in my
1:13:49
childbirthing situation, and let
1:13:51
me tell you.
1:13:52
I was like, I don't drink or do drugs.
1:13:54
I don't want it, and they're like, I think you should take it.
1:13:56
And then I took it. It was like, oh.
1:14:05
Wow, that's a good voice.
1:14:08
It was so incredible.
1:14:10
I truly understand the allure
1:14:13
having I don't.
1:14:14
Know if if I've had sent noel, but I had
1:14:16
to take it. Don't do it though after surgery, and I
1:14:19
was like, I was the same way. I was like, yeah, I get
1:14:21
it.
1:14:21
Yeah, so don't I messed
1:14:23
up my back on set? Uh or
1:14:26
I messed up my back at home just picking up something
1:14:28
from the floor. I could barely walk. And when
1:14:30
I got to set, every single person on set
1:14:33
gave me a pill of something and it was and
1:14:35
it was too overwhelming. I was like, I can't
1:14:37
and I won't do any of these things. A
1:14:40
lot of oxy, a lot of different stuff in that and
1:14:42
uh. And I decided to have a pot
1:14:44
chocolate instead, but
1:14:47
I misread it and I had too
1:14:49
much of it, and I was so high
1:14:52
that I needed to cross the street
1:14:55
and I saw where I should cross, and
1:14:57
I was like, oh, I missed it. And I just walked aroun
1:15:00
the whole block again because it was almost like an
1:15:02
exit rate because I couldn't
1:15:04
even know. I was like, I got it, gotta get on going.
1:15:07
Sounds amazing. I miss it.
1:15:09
Well, I thought, are you guys still talking
1:15:11
about work.
1:15:12
Secrets about drugs
1:15:15
now? Honey? Well?
1:15:18
Well, I was going to say, not to bring down the mood,
1:15:21
but I I practice exclusively
1:15:23
end of life care, so I don't.
1:15:25
I was going to say, I don't know if this see
1:15:28
I have any secrets that would be fun for the show.
1:15:30
I actually I just put my dog down
1:15:32
a handful of months ago.
1:15:34
Oh I'm sorry, thank
1:15:42
you, thank you for supporting the euthanasia.
1:15:45
And I have to say it was a very very
1:15:48
peaceful experience. But but I was
1:15:50
I think that it's such a tricky moment
1:15:52
because you have to be so in
1:15:55
with the family in that moment.
1:15:58
It's like you're in the middle of this, like it's
1:16:00
a you got like you you
1:16:02
seem like you have a good personality for that.
1:16:05
Oh well, thank you. Yeah, but I agree. It's
1:16:07
like not to not to downplay an
1:16:09
actual therapist job, but like I feel like I'm
1:16:11
as much a therapist as i am a vet because I'm
1:16:14
in this moment with in like very vulnerable
1:16:16
states of the people and them having
1:16:18
to guide them through that process
1:16:21
and everything. So yeah, it's very intimate and very
1:16:24
very heavy.
1:16:25
Do you want to know something crazy,
1:16:28
like speaking of being a highly sensitive person. So
1:16:30
one time when I was I used to open
1:16:32
for disease and one time we went to a veterans
1:16:35
hospital, Like it was like, yeah,
1:16:37
you know, I guess the idea was to spread cheer, but
1:16:43
I am not made for that. I
1:16:45
am this is where I'm like, I am too sensitive.
1:16:48
To do ass and a vets hospital, so
1:16:50
this.
1:16:50
Is what's crazy, like a like
1:16:53
a veteran, not a dog.
1:16:55
No, I
1:16:59
mean like I I guess like I'm picturing you like
1:17:01
talking to like all retirees, or
1:17:03
are you telling the people who were like more.
1:17:06
Young if we were at a veterinarians
1:17:08
and we're just like waving to talk.
1:17:12
Hey, let me tell you something about cats.
1:17:14
No, you're like when you're on set. Here, here's
1:17:16
a treat for you when you're on set. There's
1:17:20
nothing like that feeling. No,
1:17:22
but it crandy, like
1:17:25
seriously like the experience, the first of
1:17:27
all, the very idea that a celebrity
1:17:30
could walk through the halls
1:17:32
of a like I mean, people were severely
1:17:35
wounded, like severely. I
1:17:38
immediately
1:17:40
start crying. I can't even just
1:17:43
be in spaces where I'm
1:17:45
like, I remember my I had someone in
1:17:47
my family and children's hospital at
1:17:50
one point, and I mean I was looking at
1:17:52
the children and the families and these I was crying.
1:17:55
I'm like, I don't know, I can't. I'm
1:17:58
not someone to spread cheer and yeah, I
1:18:01
understand that I literally
1:18:03
can't. Don't have the disposition.
1:18:05
Now, I'm not going to say there weren't times where I was crying
1:18:07
about something and then got on stage and did stand
1:18:10
up right after, Like.
1:18:10
I really I can pull it together Perry
1:18:13
in that documentary exactly like that up.
1:18:16
Like yeah, outside the slipper room and like
1:18:18
Seth Herzog show in like in
1:18:21
New York. But like I don't
1:18:23
have that sunshiny like
1:18:25
I feel like Natasha La Gerald has that she
1:18:27
could put on that old timey show
1:18:30
busy, like like a lot of people have
1:18:32
that in this business. I just don't have it. I
1:18:35
have recently, I like cried in two interviews
1:18:37
lately, like I'm just like
1:18:39
I I don't know.
1:18:41
Well, because it's like you have to like learn to shut
1:18:43
off a certain part of yourself. I think
1:18:45
yeah, And like yeah,
1:18:48
because you're also saying like when.
1:18:52
As a veterinarian, well you do you probably
1:18:54
do. You're like, oh, hi, sparky, and you're
1:18:56
like knowing you're gonna have to put that dog down.
1:18:58
Well, but also like if you if you carried that wait
1:19:00
every day, you would be totally in mourning
1:19:02
all the time. You can't, you know, you gotta be like you
1:19:05
know, the funniest guy was when we had
1:19:07
to get the dog out of the house or we had a big dog and
1:19:10
like they bring in a little stretcher to get the dog
1:19:12
out, and that a gurney And that was
1:19:15
the funniest part was just like navigating,
1:19:17
like because the gurney
1:19:19
is also not like stay of the art. The gurney's like old as
1:19:22
hell, Like it's like you know, it's.
1:19:24
Like and it's like got little
1:19:26
cartoon bones all over it, like trying
1:19:28
to keep you know, Like that's the saddest
1:19:30
thing about hospitals is that it it
1:19:33
is that they always try to have like upbeat
1:19:35
materials like fabrics, I
1:19:37
know, and nothing sadder.
1:19:39
What's your what's the what? What do you say to people
1:19:41
who who are grieving?
1:19:44
Yeah, their dog's gonna die.
1:19:46
Yeah, Well, I I say a lot of things. I
1:19:49
always encourage people to do it on the earlier
1:19:51
side versus the later side. So like some of the quotes
1:19:53
I always say is like it's so much better
1:19:55
to say goodbye a week too early than a day too
1:19:57
late.
1:19:58
What does that mean? I'd be like, no, it's a no. I'd
1:20:00
be like, I'm sorry, is this a limerick? Can
1:20:02
you fucking speak to me straight?
1:20:04
I actually found that to be actually the best
1:20:06
advice that we got because our dog was sick,
1:20:09
and it was like, we could put him down or
1:20:11
he can continue to wait, and it would
1:20:13
just get worse and worse.
1:20:14
You know what's weird about these vets though they they're
1:20:16
pretty they're chomping at the bit to put
1:20:18
these dogs down. They're
1:20:21
always like, you know what he's suffering,
1:20:23
let's get They're like, can I
1:20:25
pump them.
1:20:26
Full of Well, let me tell you what happened. We did
1:20:28
a big operation on my dog and
1:20:31
it was expensive. It was like a car and
1:20:35
and we they
1:20:37
say, hey, we open them up. Uh,
1:20:40
he had assists on the outside of his stomach. It
1:20:42
exploded and it went inside his Like
1:20:45
there's a lot of a lot, a
1:20:48
lot of crazy stuff. And they're like, it's
1:20:50
pretty bad. We can get rid of all this stuff.
1:20:53
We're gonna have to take a little bit of the stomach. I was like, and
1:20:55
so, you know, we're talking
1:20:58
about it. And we talked to our vet and our vets like, you know, look, you've
1:21:00
done a lot of good things for the dog. I think it's okay if you if
1:21:02
you put them down.
1:21:03
Of course it's okay to like
1:21:05
us.
1:21:06
I don't know, right, and so and so we said
1:21:09
to the the operating physician, we're
1:21:11
gonna put him down and she's like wait what
1:21:14
and we're like, uh wait wait, You're
1:21:17
like no, no, you could, you could keep up.
1:21:19
And then we were like bullied into keeping
1:21:21
them alive. And honestly, I could go back
1:21:23
to that surgery and going like I wish we would
1:21:25
have just called it then because it was such
1:21:28
a downhill thing
1:21:30
for the next six months and it was. But
1:21:33
like they talked, they walked us back, that surgeon
1:21:35
walked us.
1:21:35
God, it is such a hard choice. I
1:21:38
mean, that's the one time I remember seeing my dad
1:21:40
cry. Where was when our cat was put
1:21:42
down one of the one
1:21:44
of.
1:21:44
The few people you know, you have to decide
1:21:46
are you keeping them alive for you or keeping them alive
1:21:49
for them?
1:21:50
It's like, uh me, uh, I
1:21:53
didn't get the one side of relationship
1:21:55
here.
1:21:56
Yeah, that's so sad.
1:21:59
I mean, yeah, that's really
1:22:01
sad. I'm sorry.
1:22:02
The other thing I'll quickly say, I always tell people that the
1:22:05
last day doesn't have to be the worst day. You
1:22:07
don't have to wait until your dog is absolutely
1:22:09
mes your boys.
1:22:10
Up right now.
1:22:14
The last call does have to be the worst call,
1:22:16
though, click But seriously,
1:22:20
by wait
1:22:24
there was something, Oh
1:22:26
I can't remember, but anyway, I yeah, I'm sorry
1:22:28
about your dog. It is the worst feeling in
1:22:31
the world. And oh,
1:22:34
I was going to say, you know, all the laugh
1:22:37
sound effects aside, I'm sorry your dog.
1:22:41
Is it fine? You know, look, it was it's time.
1:22:43
It was time. Yeah, lovely dogs,
1:22:46
it was time.
1:22:46
It wasn't his time, and then it was time.
1:22:48
Then it was time again, and then we got him out of there.
1:22:50
And that it's crazy that you're just literally
1:22:52
playing god with these dogs.
1:22:54
I know, well I think that's the other part that was really kind
1:22:56
of unnerving. T KISR. Just
1:22:59
like there was a moment where like, did I make
1:23:01
the right to choice? It wasn't like am I doing
1:23:03
this because it's.
1:23:04
Easy or you know, it's like, but these
1:23:06
doctors should just pull the trigger when
1:23:08
yeah, you know, they shouldn't put.
1:23:11
It in yours put them in a dog escape room,
1:23:13
and they are like, like you know, or
1:23:15
like they should make the choice and come out and back. He
1:23:17
didn't make it, like just I don't. I don't need to
1:23:19
see.
1:23:19
That's horrible. Actually that that's like sacrilege
1:23:22
to even say. I am scared to
1:23:24
say things like that.
1:23:25
Really sometimes well if the dog was really
1:23:27
sick and then you just took the decision out of it.
1:23:29
Before we get out of here.
1:23:30
Do you believe in aliens?
1:23:32
Jason Bolner seems to, Yeah, what
1:23:35
do you do?
1:23:35
Look, I feel like every now and then you keep
1:23:37
on here, like I think it's like they're
1:23:40
putting it in the in the ether.
1:23:41
Look, they're feeding a little more, a little oh.
1:23:44
Oh yeah, there's a hearing. Oh and then all
1:23:46
of a sudden there's like some Delta pilot last week is
1:23:48
like, oh, I saw like we're hearing. We're getting
1:23:50
used to it.
1:23:51
We're getting used to it at all, right,
1:23:53
I don't know, getting acclimated.
1:23:55
Look, I'm gonna believe in them because if when they come down
1:23:57
here, I want to be on their side.
1:23:59
But like that's what people say about AI too.
1:24:01
It's like, don't talk me into Siri. It's
1:24:04
like this is getting to be a lot of koogy stuff
1:24:06
we're headed toward.
1:24:07
I guess yeah. I mean it's I feel
1:24:09
like we're always afraid of something. We are afraid
1:24:11
of cell phones and video games.
1:24:13
Well, HSPs are and
1:24:15
it's a survival mechanism.
1:24:17
Paul.
1:24:18
This has been an absolute pleasure.
1:24:20
Such a blast.
1:24:21
Also just truly high
1:24:24
volume verbiage. I mean, we are two
1:24:26
motor mouths.
1:24:27
We got it going on.
1:24:30
We barely even scratch the surface of our lists.
1:24:33
I mean we barely about I don't
1:24:35
think anyone.
1:24:36
I mean, yeah, h god,
1:24:39
we didn't even get into New Year's Resolutions.
1:24:42
We set it up, you pay it off. I
1:24:45
think that the can you can
1:24:48
you hang this sign and then at the end of every
1:24:50
episode, just.
1:24:54
That is a good idea. Damn, we didn't even get to these
1:24:57
actually love these topics. Friend,
1:24:59
favor, nachos, New
1:25:01
Year's Resolutions?
1:25:03
What's an appetizer?
1:25:07
What is an appetizer? I'll never know?
1:25:10
All right, well, maybe I'll come back.
1:25:12
And well this is a blast. Who
1:25:15
was supposed to be here? Who am I taking over for?
1:25:17
I told you no one.
1:25:18
Oh I know.
1:25:19
I like, I literally told Paul when
1:25:21
I asked him yesterday to do this, no
1:25:24
one has canceled. I'm just disorganized.
1:25:26
Oh I thought that's something they had canceled.
1:25:28
No, no, no, I genuinely meant that, Like,
1:25:30
I feel like my mind would be like, who
1:25:32
canceled that? You're asking me last minute? But I'm just.
1:25:34
Disorder Like I like it last minute.
1:25:37
It was great, me too.
1:25:38
I kind of prefer all
1:25:40
right, well, listen, Paul Sheer, you
1:25:43
have something to promote.
1:25:44
Yeah, you can buy my book. You can buy my book.
1:25:46
Oh yeah, your book.
1:25:47
You can buy my book Joyful Recollections of Trauma, which
1:25:49
is available for pre order now. And apparently
1:25:51
that's the most important thing is selling these books
1:25:53
before the book comes out.
1:25:55
Where do they get it?
1:25:56
Anywhere? Wherever books are sold.
1:26:02
You gotta get that buck.
1:26:03
And and you want to talk about
1:26:06
an OCD thing or or maybe
1:26:08
a highly sensitive person thing. I've felt very
1:26:11
and not badly. I'm like, I really love my book. I'm
1:26:13
excited that it's gonna be out in the world and you can see
1:26:15
my diagnosis in the book. But
1:26:18
if you buy my book, you can go to my website
1:26:20
and then sign up and I'll write you a personal postcard
1:26:23
me anyone who signed up.
1:26:26
Okay, that's cool. So you're gonna get a postcard.
1:26:28
Yeah, for the first three thousand and.
1:26:30
Wow, it's all three thousand postcards,
1:26:33
five hundred so far. That's insane.
1:26:35
It's a lot.
1:26:35
That's too much.
1:26:36
It's too much.
1:26:37
You better get to be a best seller from that.
1:26:39
I hope oh my god, and
1:26:41
then what will happen?
1:26:42
By the way, I've been at one point nine million
1:26:44
followers on Instagram for eighty five years.
1:26:47
Could someone else? Is it just one more
1:26:49
person? I don't understand math. Do I need
1:26:51
just one more follower and I'll be at a two million?
1:26:54
Get up there.
1:26:54
It's annoying.
1:26:55
One point nine that's giant, but
1:26:58
I need.
1:26:58
It to just be two and then keep going
1:27:00
from there. That been static? All
1:27:02
right? All right, okay, so
1:27:08
Paul is hopping into what are you driving these
1:27:10
days in your fantasy.
1:27:11
Chrysler PACIFICA Oh wait, oh my
1:27:15
fantasy? Yeah kind
1:27:17

1:27:18
Okay, here he goes. He's heading the fine
1:27:24
I'm driving one of those Hollywood celebrity
1:27:26
tour buses in a disguise,
1:27:29
and I'm heading out to Beverly
1:27:32
Hills. I
1:27:37
am not convinced.
1:27:38
I heart was right about hanging up on people
1:27:41
faster.
1:27:41
I feel undecided, But I am a
1:27:44
lonely robot with no friends.
