Chapter 1: What was Adam Scott's experience at Coachella?
Once Bieber ended, we took an hour to find my daughter and her friends. Finally found them. Got them in the cars. And then it was two and a half hours to leave the parking lot. Just to get out. So we didn't get to bed till like 5 a.m. I remember the very first church chat. I remember exactly where I was. Are you serious? 100%. Can we talk about Carcinio really quick? Sure. Sure.
Because Carcinio, that was deep into your run, but I remember being like, holy shit. And we realized we were both big U2 fans and no one else really wanted to talk about it with us. Like our wives were sick of hearing about you two. I remember shooting a scene at a dinner table and John C. Reilly and I kind of started improvising and going back and forth. And it just started sort of flowing.

No, and no phones work because everyone's trying to use their phone. So phones do not work. Oh, really? So there's no way to communicate. Yeah, they just completely shut down. Wow, it sounds awesome. Doesn't it sound fun?
Did you, it does sound kind of fun, but did you have any moment where the hair stood up in the back of your neck? Like this is worth it. Look at this fucking show.
You know, I was there. I, I was really happy to see the strokes and really happy to see David Byrne. And yeah, he's cool. He's great. Um, yeah.

Chapter 7: How does Adam Scott reflect on his career transitions?
It has to echo.
It has to echo. Looking back. And for a while, Lauren, shouldn't she have a proper name? And so for one episode, she was Enid Strick. No one knew what that meant. And then that went away. And then it was right back to- God, I don't remember that. The church lady.
The church lady.
I thought the Coneheads, the church lady.
I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Pretty basic. I like when you wind up and go, well, I wonder where you acquired that information. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, could it be as the wind up? Oh, yeah. And then the leap. Yeah, you lurch.
Yeah, there's kind of a turn towards them, right?

Chapter 8: What insights does Adam Scott provide about improvisation in acting?
I've heard of it. I guess it's doing well. Oh, good, good.
Dana, let me tell him that I naively and stupidly and adorably thought Severance was going to be like The Office.
Oh, like a comedic sort of thing. Yeah, like a goofy comedic.
And I was watching it going, sure. Wait a second. This is different. Severance has a great, weird book. It's a smart show. I'll leave it at that. Could it be Satan, Dana? What are you doing? Yeah, was it Satan? No, I was doing... You're doing me watching it?
I love it. I mean, I was, you know, looking at the origins of it and just one of the co-producers, he was working in a cubicle on a show and sort of the sort of life suck of that, of what am I doing? And it sort of came from there in this work-life balance. There's all this, a lot of interesting things beneath the actual characters acting and stuff. Yeah.
Yeah. I think also it came out in February of 2022, right when sort of everybody was just getting back, you know, kind of going back to work or staying home and kind of that whole culture was defining itself as the show came on. So I think it also struck some sort of a chord with people figuring out their work-life balance. Yeah.
Right, because everyone took a year off, kind of, in the peak of COVID. It was a shutdown. And then people were working from home, and then this is going on now in corporate America. Could I get three days at home? I'll come in twice a week if you want. So, yeah, it was very prescient and very of the now.
Yeah. For many men, the shift can happen gradually or all at once. Workouts feel harder, yes. Energy dips, recovery takes longer. Even routines haven't changed. One major reason is testosterone. Levels can start declining around age 30, dropping at 1% each year. But it's not just about how much testosterone the body produces. It's also about how much is actually available to use.
A protein called SHBG binds to testosterone. and can limit how much of it your body can access. So even if the levels are there, it's not always working effectively. Mars Men is a natural supplement designed to help free up that bound testosterone so the body can use it more efficiently.
