The Checkup with Doctor Mike · Why Rainn Wilson Loves Paramedics & Thinks Dwight Schrute Is MAHA · 17 Sep 2025 podcast

in a really exacting way.

And one of the things he talks about is the importance of connection.

And connection is different than communication, right?

So you can post a picture of your puppy on Instagram, and you can have 300 friends and 87 of them like it.

That's communication, but it's not connection.

You're not really connecting with someone about their puppy.

And I noticed that here in New York city over the years, as I, as I've come back, cause I used to live here for a long time before cell phones existed.

I left in 99 and there were no cell phones.

And then,

And you had a pager, I bet.

Um, I had a pager just like Dwight Schrute.

Yes, I did.

Um, but people on their phones walking down the street.

So, um, yeah, it's, it's a really complicated thing.

Listen, I'm not an expert.

I'm just a dumb actor.
