Aaron who it is? And Alicia and Leslie Stop, Sarah Stefano and Christa
get the strap and Stephanie Stinker Winker. Yeah, I love you guys.
Guess what the end of my book is? In sight? Yeay? In
sight? Yes? I mean, so you know I wrote it. Oh
my god. I feel like there was a period of time where all I
did was talking about how stressed I was about writing this book. But it
is a sword of God. Is like having a baby where you like,
oh, there's so much build up to it and it's so hard and being
pregnant and the whole thing, and then you do it and you're like,
oh, that wasn't that bad. I think I feel like I browned out
like six months in my life. But anyway, we remember I was waiting
for notes, and then I got notes, and remember then I spent five
weeks on the notes. It was a lot of notes, even though she
was like, these are early light notes, but it was like five weeks,
tell me more about well, because there was so much stuff she wanted
me to fill in, like I want to hear more about John, tell
me about like when you guys got married, And I was like, oh,
nobody cares, nobody cares, Yes they do? Well, yeah,
she did you think nobody cares? But I think you know. I was
going back and forth a lot because why didn't you ask me? I would
tell you who cares? And what about what I should have asked you?
So a lot of stuff. I felt like. I felt insecure, like,
well, I already talked about this in some of my other books,
like, for instance, Sippy Cups Is Not for Chardonnay had a lot of
stuff about like having a baby and how hard it is, and you know,
a lot of drinking jokes. So I felt like, well, I'm
kind of going over a lot of the same ground, you know. And
John would try to give me a little pep talk and say, yeah,
but just make sure you're looking at it through a different lens, you're focusing
more about the drinking. But still I just felt anyway, it doesn't really
matter. The point is I toiled over those five weeks, over trying.
I was stressed out. And then when the kids and John went to New
York. I remember I had a little meltdown before they left, and I
was like, I'm never going to finish this. I can't do it.
The rewrite is harder than writing the damn book. It's like, how do
I make it flow? And how do I Where do I put this?
And where do I put that? And I have to make to take your
own class, right, Yeah, yeah, you can do it. So
I did. I churned it out and it was like, oh, okay,
I got it where I wanted it. I sent it in and then
I got I Some weeks went by and I got the nicest email from my
editor. Do you want me to read it to you? Yes? Yes,
girl, yes, And I truly have really easy note. I've been
working on my notes. She came back with more notes. Yes, but
they're easy. So they're really easy. They're like they're like, I move
this over here instead of over here, or I changed this word because you
repeated a word in the same sentence, or can you think of a different
way to say this one sentence because or or just like this joke went on
too long, so I took part of it out. All it is is
me just going yes, except except accept a lot of that. And I've
had I'm already like a hundred pages into the rewrite that she sent me today,
and she wrote, Dear Stephanie, thank you for sharing your revised draft
with me. I absolutely loved reading it, and I'm so happy with what
you've done in the revision. This is a terrific book, and I truly
cannot wait to share it with my colleagues and with readers. And then she
had told me before, actually before that, she told me how much she
loved the pacing and the plotting and the jokes, and it's funny and it's
exactly the kind of book that she wanted me to write, that she was
hoping that I was going to write, and um, it just like she
just couldn't have been nicer. And it was such a load off. I
got that. I got the email when I was at UM living Space.
Okay, here's what she wrote before. She wrote, the revision is so
good. The pacing is great, the plotting is strong, and it's just
so funny and exactly what I hope the book would be really wonderful work and
we're almost at the finish line. Wow. And so then I have the
notes now, and like I said, I worked on them today and I
was like, oh my god, this is nothing. This is this is
not writing. It's just a quick edit. So it's done, and it's
coming out in hard back, which is a big compliment, and it's coming
out in January. That's awesome. New York Times Bestseller here we come.
So when a book comes out in softcover like a paperback, it's just not
quite as prestigious as when a book comes out in hardcover. It costs more
money to put a book out in hardcover, so they're basically gambling that you
are going that you're going to get attention and that the book is going to
sell and people are going to fork out like twenty three ninety five for a
hardcover of your book, whereas softcovers like thirteen ninety five, and it's more
intended for you know, um, I don't want to say like a niche,
like like people like you. You're you've written some other books, and
they think you're going to sell some copies, but one hundred they're not thinking
it's it's harder to get big reviews. It's harder to get like on the
Today Show with a paperback, right, So my first book was a paperback,
but I ended up doing well with sippy cups, mainly because John had
worked in talk shows. I think I told you that story. Today's Show
passed on me and my book company, which is Gallery Books, which was
is an imprint of Simon and Schuster was like, yeah, I mean,
who do you know? You know? So, John, who had worked
in talk shows before, called a friend of his who had a friend who
worked on the Today Show, and so that we sent his really good friend
the book and he was like, Oh, I really like this book.
I'm gonna send it to my friend who does the books at the Today Show.
The Today Show called my publisher and said, yeah, we're gonna put
her on. And then my publisher was like, holy shit, you're gonna
be on the Today Show. And I you know, they tried to kind
of take credit for it, and I was like, uh huh cool.
And then from there, once I got the Today Show, I got some
other stuff and then the book did really well. So they the follow up
book was paperback, but then they took a chance on me. My first
memoir, which was It's not Me, It's You, came out in hardcover
and promptly sold no copies, like it was a huge bomb. So then
the next book was supposed to come out in hardback, but I got demoted
to a paperback, which was I'm kind of a big deal, and I
like both of those books. I think I worked really hard on both of
those books, like, yeah, a lot of good stories, Like if
anybody wants to go back and purchase one of those books, like, I
don't really make any money off of it, because I didn't earn back my
advance, So I think they just got disappointed in me, and then years
went by they were like, no longer that interested in me. And some
years went by and then I started doing Parental Discretion, and then I was
pitching another book and it didn't sell. But then they were like, hey,
do you want to write another parenting book? And I was like okay,
So that was Gummy Bears should not be organic paperback. So for me,
this is a huge compliment because it's like another seven maybe eight years have
gone by since and they're saying, we believe in this book enough that we're
going to go out with it in a heartback, which means they're hoping to
get like big reviewers, you know, right write ups. Yeah, I'm
hoping to get on like some the podcast. I don't know, if we're
crying out loud, we'll have me on? So yeah, what like the
marketing now, like when the book comes out, are they gonna send you
to show? Like how are you gonna go on shows? Or what do
you think? As you know, I think you know this publicity is a
really tough thing. Pr at a book company is stupid, Like they don't
they can't get you anything. There are too many people out there trying to
market too many things, and a big part of it is honestly like who
you know? So, I mean, I will probably go back to like
what I did with sippy cups and John still has some connections and try to
get I mean, at this point, the Today's Show would probably have me
on because I was on so many times talking about drinking. Right, they
might be like, oh, okay, where is she now She's come out
with this book, especially now because they after the pandemic, the drink in
this country skyrocketed. Yeah, and and especially women especially moms, Yes,
yeah, yes, and that's a big component of the book. Yeah,
and I'm it's very non preachy, as you know. I don't give a
fuck if people want to quit drinking. It's my story. I'm not telling
anybody how to quit drinking or what to do. I'm just relating, like,
here's what happened to me, Here's how I realized. It wasn't just
something. It was honestly something that had been in me since I was young,
you know, and a way that I coped with whatever. You know,
you know my story. It just put all that story on paper.
I think it's gonna be a hit. I mean, I hope so very
time. It's exciting to be done with it. Yes, and feel like
okay, she likes the book, Like I don't feel that feeling of like
right, I don't know if you feel like I feel good. I feel
like this was my story and I laid it all out there. Now.
Do you have people that are writing a forward or anything like that? Blur
blurbs um. I have some people who have offered. I'll go out to
some people. I'll probably ask Jenny Lawson the blog ass. I don't know
if you know who that is. She's like a New York Times bestselling author
m I named her first book, which is Let's Pretend This Never Happened,
UM, which is a huge bestseller. She's very and I named her book
Jen. If you're listening, I named your fucking book. So you know
what I really want to get on is the what the fuck? I want
to Mark Marin to have me on his podcast? Oh my god, I
think you can do that. Why not I tried him or anyone that knows
him. I have a friend, well, Bonnie McFarlane has been on his
podcast. I'm waiting until we get close, and then I'm going to ask
Bonnie if she'll put in a good word. There you go. Bonnie's husband,
Rich Voss, also knows him fairly. Well, I don't. I
don't know if they're going to feel comfortable reaching out to him. You want
to go on Adam Carolla show. No, I could get you on.
You probably can't. I probably couldn't. Actually, never mind, Kaylin would
probably have a Yeah, Kaitlyn can ask Oh my god, that's so sad.
Sorry, Go on Adam and go on Doctor Drew's show. Doctor Drew
is a podcast. Yeah. Maybe Austin though I think, well, he
does it out in Austin. He does one of them out and I guess
he's probably got a bunch of podcasts. What's he doing in Austin. There's
a lot of people in Austin doing podcasts. Austin's Yeah, Austin's coming together
when it comes to podcast there, there's a lot of people out there doing
that. I think Susan, his wife, is the producer. Yeah.
Yeah, Well, when it gets a little closer, I'll think of like
some yeah shows and then I'll brainstorm. That's what I did last time.
What I was going to say is we get a lot of these publicists that
you know, reach out spending money on a publicist. It seems to me
to be a waste of time, Yeah, because they just go out to
random people. Like we get hit up by publicists a lot, like hey,
do you want to have this person on your show? And it's like
you're not a celebrity now. I get emails all the time and it's like
that, hey, I love your show. We have a breastfeeding expert right
now, you don't love my show because if you knew my show, you
would know that we don't like breastfeeding experts, right right. But yeah,
I mean, you know, I'll ask people that I know to have me
on their podcast, and then I will see if my husband still has connections
to people. I mean, for like, I'm not famous, so I
can't really like get on big talk shows that aren't like news oriented, like
I mean the Kelly Clarkson shows. Probably not gonna Oh my god, I
know somebody at the Kelly Clarkson You do, I do too. Who do
you know? I know her hairdresser. He does my hair. Oh,
he flies with her everywhere. They're moving to New York. Oh, they're
moving the show to New York. I would totally but he would help you,
Okay, and he would. Yeah, I'll try to come at Kelly
Clarkson from a bunch of different directions. Yeah. We know a producer,
the same producer that got me on the Today Show like seventeen years ago.
Eighteen years ago, works for Kelly. Now there. She's supposed to be,
by the way, like one of the nicest people on the plane from
what I've hear. Yes, yes, like she's the real deal. Yeah,
yeah, he loves her. My friend who used to give me the
Ellen gossip works for her. So I have two friends. I know two
people. One of them is my actual friend, my old friend, and
she's like everything you hear that's nice about Kelly, like double it. Like
she gives people bonuses, like out of her pocket. Yeah, like her
own money. Yeah, she like spoils her staff. Yeah, she takes
care of him. Yeah. She tells he's always flying wherever she goes,
everywhere, doing her hair all the time. He's been doing my hair for
like ten years. Oh really, So do you go to the Kelly Clarkson
set to get your hair done? Now? I go to He was doing
my hair for a long time, but he got very busy. So his
assistant who works for him, what is now doing my hair? Chris?
All right, well if anybody out there knows people, yeah, I'll be
looking for you around you know, probably like holiday, around the September October.

got hooked on Lisa Lang. I found I don't know where I found it.
I think it's on Hulu. Um, Lisa Lang's documentary This Is Life.
She's got like eight seasons worth, and there's each show as she covers
something. I mean, she did uh the lbgd lb GTQ communit community,
which was interesting that she had. UM. She interviewed, uh Magic Johnson
and his wife because do you know that their son is transgender? Did Magic
Johnson? Yeah, you're not, are you thinking of um, Dwayne Wade?
No, Magic Johnson. Oh yeah, Dwayne Wade too. Yeah,
Magic Johnson, yes, he has yeah, and he goes by he but
he where you know, he's like what gets the makeup? It's like a
fashion icon now yeah, yeah, totally. I think he's got a show
and stuff like that. He's at events, he's yeah. So anyway,
so then there was another like I mean, each episode was fascinating, you
know. I mean there's some episodes where I was like, there was one
about twins, identical twins, and I was like, I'll skip that one.
But I watched one about shrooms and I was really interesting and how like
psychedelics help they're using it now in the medical field, like they use MDMA
ecstasy. They showed this woman they doing, you know, they gave it
to her and she had the two therapists with her. She laid down,
she slept, She described what she was feeling mushrooms. There's a guy that
had clinical depression every antidepressant because he had cancer of his spine. And he
was a young dad when he was diagnosed, and he was like, I
can't be like this. I can't be crippled with depression. I need to
be there for my kids. And he started looking into shrooms and he did
it all the research online. He grew the shrooms and now and he's got
enough now, just a small amount that will last him for years, and
he takes it like one every three days or something. Totally feels good.
You know, I'm not saying try this at home, but yeah, I
mean like it's interesting, you know, it was interesting. Um. I've
gotten really into you know, just researching and listening to people talk about mushrooms.
After you know, I went and did my batch twe weekends ago or
something like that, and uh, yeah, I want to try out those.
They have these like these micro dosing chocolate bars. Um, you know,
MicroC I tried on the microdosing is you know, it's all the rage
these days. Um, so yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go
get one of those and try it out and see how it does. Because
you know, like when I was when I was in Lahoy and I tried
them, I was just like I was so happy at like silly and like
joyful, and I was like, oh, you know what if you just
reduce that amount to just you know, a micro dose, I could see
how that would just yeah, make you generally like a little more up,
a little happy. Right. I was at a party like a year or
two year and a half ago with my old ABC girlfriends and my one girl,
Michelle. I don't think she cares. She was like she brought the
chocolates and she, of course Suzanne was like nout now, but I was
like, yeah, give me one. I'll try it. So it was
like a great Like I took a half of a half, like half of
why I was too scared and but they were like giggling and enjoying. And
it's like it depends on how much you eat, like they were. They
were eating quite a bit and they were kind of like you know, not
seeing things, but they were like really like shrewman out. But you take
a little bit. Were you at a restaurant. I was at a friend's
house, so it was like I felt comfortable, Okay, no kids alone,
you know, away from the kids for the weekend. Um, but
it made it felt like a little bit of a high, like a like
a contact high or I can't like just a little giggly, but I want
to try. I think micro dosing is gonna be popular. I think they're
gonna I don't know. We have a sponsor coming up. We do in
a in a couple of maybe a couple of weeks Loumi Labs that I do
adds for them on another show. It's um cannabis TCCRO dosing and John swears
by it. Yeah see it's it's interesting. So you're gonna try that,
Yeah, yeah, I am. Yeah, And I'll report back and let
you know how how it felt. I'm not trying to, like, you
know, take a bunch of them. I just want to try, Like,
you know, one square that I guess is parceled out. I guess
that's what you're supposed to take, is just one so right, but you're
buying like thirty of them, right, Eventually, probably I'm going to keep
his own chocolate. He's going to become a what do you call it,
a chocolate chocolate for mushrooms. Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm gonna
keep doing them, Like I I said that experience in La Joya, where
again I wasn't I didn't take a really large amount. I wasn't like seeing
saw a little bit some stuff but not like not too much. But it
just it was so fun and it was so enjoyable and it just like made
me again just laugh NonStop, like harder than I can ever remember laughing.
And I was like, you know what, I want to do that again.
I want to keep doing this. Yeah, why not? Well,
I've heard that mushrooms like I can't do it obviously, so but I'm saying
like I always regretted not being not having done ecstasy before I got sober,
because I was always like that would have been such a good drug for me.
Like it seems like people say, oh, you just get relaxed and
like you're just loving life and you know all you're anyway, But then I
hear that the colmdown was really hard. It's bad, and I don't like
a bad I didn't. I never. It's what I hated about yea cocaine.
Yeah, yeah, sorry, this isn't really a child friendly show.
I well, I'm this is a public service announcement. I hated doing coke
for the sole reason that I loved doing coke for like ten fifteen minutes,
and then I hated doing coke unless I was doing more coke, and then
it just became all about like trying to have that initial rush where you're like
super confident and really interested in people, and then all you do is for
me. The colmdown was so hard that that's why I had to just go,
Okay, I can never do this again. It is never the pro
never outweighs the con right. So I try to tell myself that I didn't
miss much with ecstasy, because I would not have liked yeah the calm down
now. I tried it once when I was a teenager, and I remember
just the next day just being like, oh, this is the worst fucking
feeling ever. Really. Yeah, I used to I used to go to
raves and do it quite often, you know, a couple times a year,
and it's great. But the yeah, the colmdown that like that night
is horrible and it would just put me out for the entire next day.
And this is like when I was a teenager, This is when I wouldn't
even get hangovers from alcohol, right, and it was so bad on ecstasy.
But like, what was the feeling the negative feeling oh next day,
Like does it feel like a hangover or do you just feel depressed? Yes?
Both, it's both. The cocaine calm down, it's yeah, especially
you know the night of when it's like wearing off, you get really sad,
like really sad, really bummed out that it's over, that sort of
thing, which is again why I like those mushrooms so much, because there
was nothing after it's done. It was just like a slide right back into
just normal nice. Yeah. M pot used to be like that for me,
except that I didn't love the feeling of being high. Yeah, but
I was like, okay, well at least when you start feeling normal again,
you're just like, oh, okay, I'm not to wear off.
Yeah boy, I was off. Okay, yeah, I'm back to normal,
right, But yeah, cocaine was the worst. Yeah. Then there
was an episode about porn and kids. Oh yeah, you were going to
tell some Yeah, and they were like every parent should understand that. You
know, kids that they're growing up there, they can as young as ten,
their eyes are seeing porn there. Look, I mean, they easily
access porn and the effects it has. And there was like a men's group
for guys that were addicted. There was a kid in high school that went
to the men's group because he was so addicted to porn. He was watching
it all the time and then when he had a girlfriend, couldn't get it
up or it was just you know, and also their their brains, they
become addicted to it, and there's like, you know, men's group that
they have to like they detox them from it. And it was really eye
opening, Kyl, you know about this, Yeah, sure, yeah,
I mean I mean the first porn that I saw was actually more innocent.
It was a friend of mine down the street. His dad had Girls Gone
to Wild videos, okay, and in the bathroom he had playboys. So
when his dad was you know, out of the house, I'd go over
there and we just watched Girls Gone Wild videos or I'd look at the Playboy
magazines. But that and did you get like turned on? Well yeah,
yeah, it was like the first time I was seeing it, Were you
like ten, I was probably about ten, yeah, I think, And
then by like, would you get like a hard on at that age?
Yeah? Okay, sure, I wouldn't do anything about it, but it
definitely happened. But when did you see like hardcore porn? That was probably
like twelve or thirteen was when I discovered like internet porn? Really? Yeah?
And did it did you get like addicted or did you or did it
like I mean is a yeah, I know addict. Yeah, I got
an addictive personality, that's for sure. I don't think I've ever been addicted
to porn. But I mean when you're a thirteen year old boy and the
internet porn just hits, I mean, yeah, I would. I would
watch it a lot, did your parents and would talk to you about it,
not that I remember, no, that you gave me like the sex
talk, but nothing about porn. Did you watch it with friends? No?
I mean, aside from seeing those girls on wild videos because that was
essentially the first time I'd ever really see boobs like that. But aside from
just quick scenes here and there in movies, uh, No, I would
not. I would not watch porn with my friends. Meanwhile, Stephanie and
I was watching scrambled porn when I was oh yeah, kid trying to get
like select or on TV to get it like I could bear. I kind
of see it. Oh yeah, there was I forgot about like Cinemax,
right, but even that was more innocent. You know, they'd never show
like you don't see a penis going right. But I would watch the Cinemax
ones and uh, what was that show on HBO? Oh real sex?
Yeah, And a lot of those like segments were just like really weird too.
I never knew what I never knew what I was gonna get with that
one, and most of them were more of a turn off than they turn
on. But I would still check it out and see what I had to
have the porn talk with Sonny I. I think we talked about this but
where I was driving and I said, just look out the window, but
just let me talk. Just listen, you know, like that's not real
life. That's not how things really are. People do that kind of stuff.
You know they're doing it. It's theatrics. It's for money. They
had a real life. When women give blowjobs, they cry, right,
And it's not gonna be the greatest blowjob, but she gotta go. Now
you're gonna have to say, touch the balls, touch the balls, tell
her shove her head down. I'm kidding. They had a porn actress go
to a college that was studying for a class that was studying sexuality you know,
humans, and she had to like you know, she talked and like
they she took questions and like the first question the guy asked was are you
really enjoying it? And she's like, I looked at it as a job.
Like most of the time women don't orgasm. It's all just an act.
And I mean for the guy, you know. And also you know,
they see guys lasting for so long and then they feel like they should
be doing that and lasting a long time. But then in real life they
get when they get there, they're not. They can't perform. It's just,
you know, it's if they only knew that women don't want that.
That's just like an invitation to a uti, right, right, there's so
many other things that are better than just the nobody wants a jackhammer going at
you for ten minutes, right straight, right. I don't know I've revealed
too much, but yeah, when you told Sonny what did he say?
He was like, I remember him saying, why do they then? Why
why do they do that stuff? Or something like that, And I said,
well, that's you know, they're getting paid a lot of money,
and sometimes that's people fall into that industry and they make you know, it's
just like making a movie, but it's not you know, real life.
And just listen to your porn, Sonny, don't watch it, right,
Remember Sonny listen walking around the neighborhood listening to porn. I don't know if
he does that, but um so where they say so they were saying,
it's really damaging. Did they have any hopeful message of stop kids from They
were talking about what needs to happen in schools, is they you know the
kids were the young kids were saying, when we had sex education, they
talk about you know, condoms and safe sex and pregnancy, but they don't
talk about porn and they should be talking about that because it will never ever
happen. Since you can't even these these freaking backward states are trying to say
that you can't even say gay anymore. I can't tell people that sometimes there's
two men or two women that are married, like you can't say that.
God forbid, somebody mentions porn right, it's your poor kids? They would
they should because yeah, it's number I mean, these kids, they can
it's the wild, wild West. Imagine what they're seeing at such a young
age. Oh yeah, and it's so damaging. I mean, I'm not
Lisa Ling, she is a good friend of mine. But now I'm kidding
you guys shower together. Yeah, like that's as far as it goes,
right, right, Um, but yeah, it was really it was interesting,
very interesting, very It's important for the girls too to realize. You
know, the boys have to realize that real life, but the girls have
to realize that they don't have to make those sounds or like they you know,
we have to teach girl, our girls that like they get to enjoy
it too, like they're not just I tried to talk to men. I
tried to talk to to tell you about it. She shut me down immediately.
Oh yeah, yeah, she's like no, no, She's like,
no, cringe, I don't want to talk about no. No, oh
no, I'm all right. I'll talk to your friend then she can tell
you. Well, at least you tried. I tried. I just said,
it's not real life. Just know that, Okay, done? Well,
it's hard because it is ubiquitous now, it's everywhere and everybody's into it.
And how do we tell how do you convince kids otherwise when that's what
they're seeing? Right? Yeah? How are kids like forming healthy sexual relationships?
When I was Natalia's age, if I had porn available like that,
I would be all over it. Are you watching it all the time?
O? Me too? And I think she was watching it when she was
younger, as I saw something on her phone, right I remember, But
now I don't know. I mean, she seems to have a healthy relationship
going on right now. So yeah, yeah, I don't know what it
would have done to me. I mean, especially because sex can be something
that people abuse in the way of like you know, compulsively masturbator, compulsively
watching porn or another like outlet that you get kind of addicted to, right
yeah, And you know we should be able to talk to kids about that,
Like, it's not just drugs that can like, yeah, make you
like not suck some of your enjoyment out of life. Sorry you use the
word suck, but Kaylin, you found that, you know, like you
went through a period where you watched it a lot but then kind of stopped
or I mean not, I know you obviously would never watch it now yeah,
right now, like I mean now, like literally right now while we're
recording. Um, yeah, well, what was your question? I'm saying,
did you did you go through a period where you watched it a lot
but then became more sorry, more normal? Yeah? I guess so,
yeah, I said, watched a lot of porn pretty much all through my
teenage years and my twenties too. When I was I guess when you know,
my first girlfriend that I had, I guess I wasn't really watching porn
then and then now ever, since I've you know, been with Amy,
I don't really watch it much anymore. So I guess that's that's the catalyst.
When I'm with somebody, I don't I don't feel like I need to
watch it anymore. It seems like you had a healthy way of going about
it. I guess it depends on the kid, depends I don't know,
not to be too too personal, but like, did you feel like porn
messed up a little bit of the messaging of like how it would be with
it your first real girlfriend? No, not really, So you knew,
like, okay, not to expect that your girlfriend's not a porn star.
Um, yeah, yeah, I guess so, I guess. So that's
good. All right, Hey, let's talk about story works. You know
what. Um, this is a great online service. Oh it really is.

so you're watching that? Yeah, I watched um this new show called Jury
Duty. Okay, it's so freaking funny. I have you do? What?
Shut up? Yeah, I'm so jealous by now. Algo is like,
I got there's something that came for you in the mail. I don't
think you're gonna like very much. And I was like, oh fuck man,
what now? Said got? And I was like wait what, Oh
my god, I'm so excited. She's like really, I said, hell
fuck yeah, I hope I get a good case. Oh my god,
it's such a it's like such a great story to have for years. I
know you'll want to record it on story worth, you know, for posterity.
Seriously, Jury Duty is fun. I can't wait this So this show.
Let me tell you the premise of this show. And where do you
see this show? I want to say Amazon Prime. I could be wrong,
but I think it's Amazon Prime. It's called Jury, or it's Apple
TV, Apple TV, like one of those two. All right, here's
the premise of the show. It's shot kind of similar to the Office,
Like it's got the same vibes as the Office, really dry humor. So
it's a jury. They've put this jury together and one guy on the jury
is real and the rest of them are actors. So it's kind of like
a reality show except that so there's probably has to be some improvising because they
have to deal with this guy who's really a real guy. So the premise
is that they told this guy that they got this access that normally you don't
see what goes on with juries, but that this courthouse, for this one
case, has given unprecedented access to see how juries really work, and how
they deliberate and the whole how they do jury selection. So the guy who's
a real guy is like, he's so sweet and he's just like okay.
But then they have all these characters. Oh my god, I love it.
Everyone is a really good actor. They're all so I laughed out loud.
I cannot tell you, and you know I have the flu. I
don't know if I mentioned that not a lung infection. I was laughing.
So John goes, oh my god, this was a show built for you
in a lab Nie Wilder tailor. I'm all about it. I was cry
I was cry laughing during some parts of it. It's so ridiculous. I'm
gonna watch the shit out of it. There's an actor on the show playing
himself who's like an actor, so his storyline is just that he's an actor,
so he's probably going to be a distraction. So they're all trying to
get out of jury duty right first, and then they get they panel the
jury. I'm like, on episode four, oh my god, it's so
much fun. And the episodes are short, but each episode it's the same
guy and it's there. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's an ongoing
thing, like the same characters. It's yes, it's it's moving forward.
Yeah, you just start with episode one because that's like the beginning of the
show. And now, like where I am, they're trying the case.
They're trying the case, but everybody's ridiculous, and I'm just like, I
don't know how these people don't break character, because you can't because you're shooting
this. I'm thinking of watching this. I'm watching this as a producer,
and I'm like, how do they do it? Because if they start laughing
at any point, I mean, and all the characters are being ridiculous,
like saying ridiculous things. If I was trying to do that as an improv
improv person, an improviser, I would I couldn't book that show. I
would just be laughing right right, Wow have you heard of this before?
Well, so if they do a season two, they're going to cast another
person. But see if the show gets too popular, then people are going
to catch on. Yeah maybe yeah, you know, but you could just
do it with a totally different cast. And it feels really serious, Like
the judge. I have been in courtrooms before, as you know, fighting
the good fight for traffic tickets, and this judge seems like a real judge.
I would never in a million years not think that this was like a
judge. That's crazy, and the people are all just such real looking people,
Like it's not pretty people, it's like characters. So you're like,
yeah, that's pretty much probably who goes to jury duty. They must have
got them from like you know, the Groundlings or whatever. Oh yeah,
Groundlings upright citizens Brigade, Like yeah, I have to look into some of
the actors and they can't really get people who have done stuff before right right,
because you don't want to recognize them right right and be like what's going
on here? Yeah? Yeah, Wow, that's interesting. Yeah, I'm
going to watch what else are you guys watched? Oh and I watched the
Judy Bloom documentary. I want to see that so good but we're crying out
loud told me to watch it. I I gotta see this because I'm dying
and I love Judy Bloom. There's a movie coming out. Are you there,
God, it's me Margaret, I know. I just saw billboard for
it. I was like, what this is kind of ties into what we
were what we've been talking about. But um, the really cool thing about
Judy Bloom is she was one of the first people to be writing about sex
like for kids books, you know. Um, and that was Forever,
Yes, which I think everybody who's my age remembers that book and the front,
the cover, how it had a little keyhole, like it had a
little opening so it looked like a locket, right, and then there was
and it was so good and it was talking about a girl's first sexual experience.
And the pushback that she got on that book. I don't see I
want to see this and the and so she also was around during the first
like right now, we're going through it again with the band books. But
the Moral Majority, so like when Reagan was in office, you know,
the Moral Majority came out and they were like going crazy trying to ban books
and control what kids see and everything was offensive. And it's really about Judy
Blueman just what a freaking trail blazer she was, Oh my god, and
how she just wouldn't compromise right what she wanted to write. Wow. I
remember the first book I read was Blubber and I loved it so good.
And then I was like, okay, what else you got? And yeah,
I remember wife that was the last one because everybody was like, there's
another one that's kind of like the adults though. Yeah, that's was her
first book for adults. Yeah, then I read that one. Yeah,
I was I want to watch that. I can't kind of based wife on
her own life a little bit because she got out of a marriage and it
was like about her kind of housewife. I don't. I can't wait to
watch it. It's a great documentary. I highly recommend. As you know,
I've been sick, so I've been watching like I'm just like literally laying
around, going what else can I watch? Did you guys watch Succession?
Last night? Amy fell asleep, so I had to stop watching it.

episode was about him? This was his episode, Like he should win an
Emmy for this episode. And I was like wait, and she's like,
