I didn't know that was the end.
Except your son. You resent your son, I assume.
Yeah, you should. You really should.
She has to get permission, obviously.
Okay, okay. Just making sure you knew that.
You're good in partnership because you have it with Mulaney too. Do you prefer working with a person?
But, you know, it also...
I'm not. I'm going to say that I think sometimes in a three environment, it can be hard. And I can imagine sometimes, probably, I'm not putting words in your mouth, but I assume that sometimes you're like, it might be easier if it was just me. Not all the time, but in a real way. Like, well, this person has their own thoughts and I'm coming in with the structure. So I think some people...
do prefer a solo creative endeavor. And that's understandable too.
Yeah, I think he's great.
Was there a lead up of like, hey, man, are you all right? Was there a lot of that pre-intervention?
Especially when you went out on a huge limb. Yeah.
tightrope i think with addicts i didn't know any before i knew dax but it is a tightrope to walk where you're not alienating them so that they just completely go off the deep end don't talk to you anymore but you have to also say that you see something's wrong i was just at such a loss and i was just like i know you're doing this and then there was just like i'm not doing it yeah oops
Also, you're in survival mode, too. Yeah.
Does it upset you, Nick?
He's going to come for you. You know, he has vendettas.
But when you're own. You might be into shopping on your own. We don't know.
Yeah, that's right.
And on a cruise ship.
Oh, my God. Are they controversial?
You thought maybe those diapers were going to come back into play.
Sorry, real quick about the special. You do a bit about moms being annoying. That is so spot on and good. And I think about it.
I talk to my mother. We are on the heels of Mother's Day. And yeah, I think about it all the time. They are so annoying, but we love them. Yeah.
It's such a wild job and upsetting.
It is the most relatable. And for this reason you're saying, everyone is just so impatient and mean to their moms. It's so weird. And they are calling to say like, hey, I just re-upped your AAA. And it's like, why'd you do that?
You didn't even ask.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
He's putting in the work, and it is a he.
Oh, the Hormone Monster's scary, too.
People are throwing up.
I know. We have killed you.
I got my hair cut today. Barb did my hair. Barb Thompson. Where'd you find Barb?
Don't ever say that again. No, what did you say? Barb Thompson. Thompson.
She's awesome. And she's done my hair before. She did it for a gala.
One of the only galas I've ever been to. And she's great.
I know. And she said you did a great job.
Don't look. I just haven't shaved.
I'm sorry. I can't believe you did that.
No. Okay. I take care of my hair. Okay. I just haven't, and it's hot out.
I was really actually self-conscious. Oh. Oh, and I mean, it would get noticed. And I was like, there's no way anyone will notice. And you noticed immediately.
It just takes a long time to shave.
That makes sense. Well, you know, I also, I have to groom my arms, my legs, my armpits, my vagina parts.
Yeah, it sucks. Speaking of, how's the cashmere? We haven't even seen it in a while.
Yeah, describe we all.
Oh my God. I don't even count Groot as a stuffy. When you said that, I wasn't thinking of him. He's a real boy. He really is. Unlike the robot.
What were their names?
So you just said koala, polar.
But what if like it was downstairs and you had to tell your mom like, oh my God, polar is missing.
It would never happen.
Wow. Double duty.
Oh, wow. Yes. It was a lot going on. Okay. Wow.
Okay, never mind.
Never mind. I don't want to say.
It's because you like him in your nook and like, like a kid, like a kid.
Did they take him into the monster truck?
And is that truck like out on the thing?
He's one of those guys in the comedy space that just has so many things going on at all times, and it's awesome.
It was... On its way to the trash.
Imagine when it's like to lose your son. You never get over it.
Well, and so she answered our long lasting question about would you clone?
She won't. She won't.
Okay. Gosh, that's wild. But okay, if he had gone in the monster truck and then got sent to the next monster truck show, that's a kid's book. That's a children's book.
Yes, but then he returns back home always.
We have different versions of this story.
Yeah, he is. He's on the tour.
But he's very, it's very Toy Story.
I don't think all the dust from the monster truck would be good for his lungs.
Oh my God, that's terrifying.
Oh, Sally, really hero.
I know, but that's life. It's like, you can't buy health. Well, actually, I mean, to an extent you can, which is a problem, but you know, that's why health is the most important thing we have.
Being alive. Yeah, being there. Being present. Being present. Well, I'm also grateful because I immediately got codependent for the girl, the friend. Can you imagine?
Who was her stuffy?
He was slipping it in a little bit?
This is complex because this is how you feel about your kids. This is how you parent them. You're like, you know, I'm going to let them go explore the world. And another person could say, look, they're a little too valuable for that. Don't let them just go down the street to Ralph's where there's crazies.
So it looks like she's- She's inherited my parenting to- Looks like it's nurture.
Wow. Yeah. I'm grateful. I'm so grateful. I would have been really- You understand. Yeah, it would have been so sad if group... I mean, I would have been happy for him if he was on an adventure, but we know that really he would have gone in the trash.
Dax, missing persons after like 48 hours, they're dead.
Well, that's the thing. Is he in pain?
Now don't trick her into getting like pain meds for him.
Oh my God. Wow. That isn't quite an adventure. I'm. Yeah. I'm really glad that had a happy ending.
Yeah. Okay. So you've been gone a couple of days. Um, in the meantime, I've watched two full seasons of you, the show, which reminds me, I want to play the thing about me. Exactly. It's about time that we revisit that because I'm watching it.
yeah you want me to put on the tv oh yeah you can this is my favorite clip of all time and now it has extra meaning because i'm watching the show is it a great show i love it it has real veronica mars vibes oh fun but it's it's like dexter meets veronica mars but i've never seen dexter um okay let's watch this real quick yeah you know i was watching an episode
It really is. Yeah. Oh, my God. Anyway, so, yeah, I started you random. It, like, popped up as the next. This never works out.
Auto play or whatever. And I was like, sure, why not? Watch the whole thing. And then last night stayed up so late. I couldn't even look at the time. I was too afraid to look.
And watched all of season two.
They're like 45-ish minutes. Whoa. Yes. Oh, my God. Okay. So it is Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl, who I loved back then, Dan Humphrey.
And he recently, he has a podcast, but also I saw there's like an Instagram kind of viral video of him like dancing on one of these platforms. And I was like, well, in my opinion. And so I was like, oh yeah, I love him. And then he pops up.
You know what? It is. I'm gonna circle back. I didn't say it wasn't.
Yeah, but turns out it's really high. So anyway, then it pops up and he is a, He's a stalker, like he's obsessed with this woman. Uh-oh. There's like murder. Ooh. He's a psychopath, but it's a love story and he's hot. And it's confusing. Yes. It's sexy, but scary.
Well, I know. And I hated myself, of course.
I heard him say on an interview, something like that, like, or someone asked, like, what do you think of when people say he's hot? Yeah. And he was like... He's a killer.
So I saw that clip before I watched the show and I was like, yeah, he's right. This is people are crazy. Yeah. And then, of course, I'm like, he's hot.
He's also tricky because he's like kind of a good boyfriend if he wasn't a murderer and putting people in cages.
Luigi. That's real life, so I find that much more complicated. I do not think he's hot.
No. I don't think there's anything good about killing.
There's no way for me to know.
I don't think murder is hot in real life, and I don't think vigilantes are hot.
I'm going to say that. Good to know. There's a lot of people that are like, good for him.
I disagree, wholly.
Exactly, exactly, yeah. Except in the show, sometimes he does kill some people I really don't like. And it is vigilante. And like, it's for kids. Sometimes he protects kids. He's weird. He's like kind of this like good friend.
Really, really mixed messages.
Anyway, I am loving it.
I really don't know, but I was so tired when my alarm went off at nine.
And so then I had to go back to bed. Probably three.
I can't help myself.
And because I'm scared a little, like it's very cliffhanger-y. It's very good at keeping you on the hook. So I'm a little too scared in those scenarios to go to bed. Like I need to know how it's completed, but they do a good job at the end of each season too. You never know. I did star episode three, but then I was like, Monica, no.
I got to stop. So I turned it off about halfway through that. When I woke up this morning after so much murder, I was like, I think I need to take a break today because it really gets infiltrated. And then it made me think this is what's happening with boys and video games.
They're just, it's like a constant, they're living in this world that's dark and bleak and they're shooting people and stuff. And then like reality starts to disappear.
Well, I just could see it. This is your OCD.
I don't. Okay. In this show, it's a lot of voiceover. Because you're hearing his thoughts.
And so then today I was kind of hearing my thoughts like that.
And I thought I need to take a break.
No, but I also really want to know what happens. Keep going. All right, let's see if there's anything else I want to talk about. You know, you're really tunnel vision. Me? It is easy. I get why. I get how it happened.
And the title is You, Why, Oh, You.
But he did end up saying it's a show on Netflix called You.
It's so good. I almost feel like it's fake and I don't want to like look too into it. I don't think so. I don't either.
All right. Well, that's it. Let's move into facts.
I think COVID fucked with it too. Those couple years.
So facts for Nick Kroll.
Yeah, that was so funny. Also, I wrote down specifically... When he said sick little cutie, I laughed so hard at sick little cutie. I thought that was the funniest. Just a sick little cutie.
It was great. And then I was kind of like, oh, sick little cutie is kind of like.
Anyway, that was just really made me laugh. He's so funny.
What do you mean?
I think they also might, I don't know if they really think that or if they're like playing along. They're playing your role, maybe. Yeah, exactly.
Maxi pad would have been the first.
Thinx. That's another brand of.
That's different, but.
How could you possibly know?
I just... What's your idea?
But it's not. It's Tampax.
I think it's X chromosome.
Maxi pad. That's the original. I bet you can do that and come back to us.
Probably they're kids or kids of kids.
if people listen to the CTE episode with Chris Nowinski, and then also it came up in another episode, the P baby, we had AI make a video of us originally talking about the P baby, the original story of P baby.
Yeah. And we're, I'm going to post it tomorrow, but so by the time you listen to this, it will be posted. And I really, really recommend you, people going to watch this. It'll be on our Instagram. Because for one, the story is just, you need a good reminder of the pee baby. But the AI is...
And it's like a version of you and me, like the AI made versions of us. It's so funny.
No, I was just going, I'm doing stuff, you know.
Anyway, so check that out. Check out the P-baby and the AI. It just reminded me, AI.
All right. So we didn't learn anything.
Great. Um, now what are the most watched shows on Netflix? This is on Wikipedia and notoriously Netflix doesn't really release this information. So, um,
Oh, Ransom Canyon.
Is it minutes or hours?
Interesting. Yeah. Okay. Well, this is just Wikipedia. Oh, and it's most popular television series by hours watched in their first 28 days. Number one is Squid Game season one.
Is number two. Three is Wednesday.
Four is Squid Game Season 2.
Five is Dahmer Monster, the Jeffrey Dahmer story.
Six is Money Heist. That was a big, big show. Yes. I think maybe it was in Spanish, I think.
She loved it. Yeah. Oh, wait. No, sorry. So Six is Money Heist Part Five.
These are great questions.
Interesting. Seven, Eight, and Nine are Bridgerton, Season One, Two, and Three.
And then Ten, Money Heist Part Four.
Yeah, I think so. I know I would watch that. I'm still in ER.
Cool. I love that.
Oh, that's funny.
It's always about land and... Religion often. Religion. But yeah, who owns what? Yeah. I mean, that's very timely because India and Pakistan were... Well, this was obviously made before they've now launched missiles at each other. But they're in a ceasefire.
But anyway... Okay, Seth MacFarlane and Nick, that conversation, that's on the SAG After Foundation YouTube.
So you can watch that there if you're interested in animation.
Well, there was one more.
He's going to be sick for another 10 years or so.
Well, you kind of are. You're still kind of sick.
Speaking of kids. Yeah. I wasn't sure if I was going to bring this up, but why not? Yeah, why not?
Well, no, this isn't negative towards kids.
Sure. Yeah. Mother's Day. We just had Mother's Day, right?
It's getting increasingly harder for me.
And I think for so many reasons, I feel overwhelming. Yeah. And I'm just tracking that.
That it's starting to feel really tough. I'm glad I go home. I go home. I've gone home the last couple of years. And it's nice to be with my mom. And I know it makes them very happy. So I like doing that. But there is something about... Being there, that's hard. When I'm there, especially for moments, events, yearly events, the passage, like time starts to feel very oppressive.
The passage of time.
You know, we go to the same places and... You know, I'm going to this like mall that I went to when I was in high school and to see it be so much the same and also so different. It's just it feels it feels sad. It feels melancholic.
And and then seeing my parents age.
And I can kind of Buddhism. I know. Yeah. And when I'm not there, I can detach from it when I'm here.
Yes. And I think I can just compartmentalize in a way. Like they're there and that's happening, but I'm not seeing... Day to day, like the little things that are changing. So it's kind of hard to be there, even though I'm glad I make that decision. That's a little hard. And then I also know being here would be hard because all of my friends have kids.
And that is painful in its own way. And like, it just feels sort of like this day is hard.
I think it's both. I think it's. It's so tricky because it's not like on a day to day, I think, of the pain of not having children. But on that day, I am away. I'm just very aware that I don't.
And that it's not it wasn't. really a choice. It's just the way my life went, right?
Yeah. Unfolded in this way. I made decisions that took me in certain places. I, you know, I'm not married to my high school sweetheart. I didn't have one, you know, and yeah, I'm just like aware, like, oh, my life hasn't gone, didn't go that way.
And yes, I can still make decisions that might lead to that, but it's, Different. It's like really different now. Me having a kid now is a real choice. It is not like, oh, I fell in love with this person and then maybe we'll have kids. That's the next step. It's I have to make.
Let's do it. It's real, real hard decision making.
It kind of I don't. Yeah. And that's that's an annoying thing to have to think about.
So, yeah, I guess it was a hard day.
I don't know. Like it it it it makes me feel feel like, oh, I wish I had that. But does it make me feel like I'm going to take those steps to do it?
Yeah, I know. I don't know. Again, that's a question that I I have to ask that I'm kind of resentful that I have to ask resentful towards my towards life, I guess, because I know that if I was married and in a partnership, I would I would have kids.
Well, they could.
Yeah. I mean, I assume it's the same feeling and the same thing. Like, I guess I have to figure out if I'm going to like just be with a person I don't want to be with or or take. Take those steps. In some ways, I mean, it's all hard. But I think for a man, if they have the means, I mean, a lot of women don't have the means to do any of this either.
But your egg, like, you know, do retrievals and it's expensive.
You have to remove the eggs in order to make the embryo to implant.
Oh, they can try it. While you're ovulating? Yeah, some people, that works for some people. It's pretty hard for it to take, but it works for some people. But then if that doesn't work, you spent money doing that and then you have to, you know, it's a lot. Right.
Before the first movie.
But for a man, they can make the embryo, you know, they'll take the egg, the sperm, they'll make the embryo and then they'll implant it into a surrogate.
I'm sure. Fertility is so expensive. Another thing that's like, that's a cost that it wouldn't be a cost. I mean, having kids is an insane cost in general. To your mental health. Yeah. Diapers. Diapers. Ding, ding, ding. That came up in Nick Kroll's fact.
Your diaps. And they went bankrupt.
Bad for business. Um, anyway, I just thought I would share it because I'm sure it's complicated for a lot of people.
For so many reasons.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah, an interaction.
As evidenced by your child.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Well, that's it. All right. Love you. Love you.
Yeah. Correct. And I can't have that. You could break up the marriage.
Is it Haynes or Hayes? Haynes, you got it.
I could see your faces on the Kleenex box. How cute.
