Triumph!

Oh, it feels so good to say that word.

We can finally say it again.

I'm going to use everything I have this time to say this word that I want to say.

All right, show reply.

I am so excited to be with you guys today because we haven't even told the best story

we have to tell.

Yes, I know.

In between our episodes, we did something fun.

By the way, welcome to Threedom.

I'm Scott.

I'm Paul.

I'm Lauren.

And this is the 250th episode of Threedom.

Remember when we started and we said, let's only do three of these?

Yeah.

Like Threedom?

Yeah.

And then we did 247 more

on a dare.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Who dared us again?

I forget.

It was some bully.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He said, if you don't do this, I'll kick your ass.

Oh, it was that bully from a Christmas story.

Oh, yeah.

Yes.

I'm grown up now.

Farkas.

Yeah.

Farkas, right?

Sounds right.

Do you know, that's a movie that I'm pretty sure I've seen all of, but not in order.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because it's on TBS every year at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Every year we do a free trial of TBS.

We watched it probably three years ago.

I put it on every year.

At my parents' house.

Cool up and never seen it.

And she was loving it.

She's like, oh, my God, this is so charming, so funny.

And then we got to the very last scene.

She's like, All right, well, oh, that's right, that's right.

Oh, is it when they go to the Chinese grocery?

Yeah, oh my god, I, you know, it's funny, but the second, the sequel is really cute.

That was like an example of them kind of like doing a, you know, when you see a sequel.

Oh, they just did it a couple years ago or something, and he's all grown up.

Yeah, it's very sweet.

Now he's the kind of person's the same guy.

Yeah.

I watched a little bit of the musical, the live musical that they did.

Couldn't really get into it, but it was a good try, I have to say.

I gotta say, not everything needs to be musical.

Throwing it out there.

Yeah, let's take music out there.

Someone literally puts their pen down as they were writing a musical version of

Conclave.

Okay, I take it back.

I want it to be called John.

But the other day,

call me John.

We got together

at nighttime.

We got together at nighttime.

This is exciting because

for those of you who are listening at night, maybe you think we always tape these episodes during the

because you happen to be listening during the night.

It's not true.

Because we're children of the night and what beautiful music we make.

But actually, we tape these during the daytime.

And usually on weekdays.

And this was a Sunday night that we got together.

Now, this has been in the works for months.

Months, six months or so.

We've been trying to get this on the Cal for a long time because we're coordinating with a lot of people.

As you know, if you've heard us talk about it several times on this show, we are big fans of the television program currently on Peacock

called

Traitor.

Do you know what?

It's called The Traders.

Whoa.

Yeah, I swear to God.

No, I swear to God.

I'm going to stop watching.

This is crazy.

It's not the Facebook.

Right?

Is it?

Is it the Facebook, Paul?

Is it the Facebook, Lauren?

Are you guys still on Facebook, by the way?

No, I haven't been on Facebook for a while.

I haven't for years.

I think I've shared on this that I have a Facebook simply for a couple groups that I'm in, but I don't have like friends.

I don't like use it as like a looking at what my friends are doing.

I feel bad because I feel like

my high school reunion only now talks about it on Facebook.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And they're like, well, everyone has Facebook, so we'll only put it on there.

And so I'll hear about something

months and months too late.

Yeah, somebody decides like, we're just going to switch over to this format and you have to either be on it or not yeah it's like when you get when you the qr code menu and shit like that where it's like what if there's people that don't have yeah i was thinking of old people i was thinking of old people i know and i don't think it's fair and i also have

places that don't accept

and they don't accept cash i think that's wrong yeah i was just at the zoo and they all the food things were like we don't accept cash then i heard a little kid say but do you take cash you take travelers

like traveler's check you know like a little kid gets 10 bucks to go to the zoo with his friends and then they can't buy a fucking churro.

I'm like, this is weird.

No, it is weird.

Yeah, you're right.

Like a place that caters to children should let children

have their $100 bills or whatever.

It's so hypocritical of the LA Zoo because they only take cash if you want to buy one of the animals.

Yeah.

Well,

you have to show that you're committed.

I bought an elephant there once.

And they only take it in a briefcase.

You bought what?

I bought an elephant there once.

And the elephant, just as I opened the briefcase to prove, of course, that I had the money, money, he scooped it all up in his trunk.

No, you know what?

The elephants are never out over there.

And I'm like, where are they?

What are they up to?

Yeah.

I've told this story before, but one time I decided to take my friend's son and my friend, his father, to

tag along.

Because I thought, you know,

he had a cute little boy, and I was like, this will be fun family activity.

So we go to the zoo and we're looking at the elephants.

And we're standing there there at the little fence and looking at the I'm looking at the elephant.

And my friend's son,

to get my attention, punched me in the balls

and said, Paul, look at these ants.

What ants?

I was like, There's fucking elephants here.

Oh, he's gonna put ants on the ground.

I thought he meant your balls were no, no, no, no, no.

That was just to make sure I didn't.

The other day, Holly and I took, I took Holly to the house.

It turns out he had just been at the zoo last week with his class.

Well, I took Holly to the zoo.

Was nobody told me.

And

we looked at a roly-poly for a long time at the zoo.

That's funny.

She's like, oh, it's so cute.

It's so tiny.

At a certain age.

You can see the bugs for free at the zoo.

Yeah, and up close.

Yeah.

We were trying to figure out what to do with Emmy the other day on a Sunday

because, you know,

I feel like she's living such an idyllic childhood that she wakes up every day and goes, where are we going today?

And it's like, I used to have to play at home.

I played at home or I went on errands and they were boring as

well.

I think that's good.

Although Holly loves CBS.

That's not, once you unlock that, that's a problem.

But in any case, so we were trying to figure out what to do.

And so we went to the Americana.

We went to the outdoor mall.

Sure.

Went to the Barnes and Noble.

And, you know, she can run around, look at books and all that.

At a certain point, I realized she was just as happy just running on the grass as being at a place.

You know what I mean?

You know where I went?

That was so beautiful?

The LA Arboretum.

Have you ever been there?

No, we haven't been there.

In Arcadia.

Arboretum.

It's so beautiful.

And I went with my friend and her husband and kids, and I went with my children.

And we were walking around.

There's peacocks, and

then you can kind of walk, there's like a waterfall you can walk to, and you can walk and have a picnic in this grassy area.

It's very filmy.

It's very peaceful.

I filmed certain sketches of Mr.

Show there for a while.

So I've been there, but I've never been there with a another place that has peacocks,

the Traitors.

Yeah, we played the traders on Sunday and it was extremely thrilling We each had our own cloak.

Yeah, there was a card version of it one of our one of our friends bought Yes Trip J and she was trying to schedule this for months where she would put out what I don't know exactly what it is a doodle a doodle where we all I never investigated what that was we used to use them for scheduling improv rehearsals a lot like 10 years ago doodle was the popular way to oh I assumed it was a brand new thing no it was like it's a way to fill out your schedule so everyone can say what day works for them, and then it makes a calendar that works for everybody.

Right.

Um, it's very handy.

So, we did that, we tried for a little while, and then it never worked out.

And so, six months later, we finally found a day we could all do it.

And

the fun wrinkle that everyone decided to do

was everyone found cloaks

online, and everyone bought them.

Yeah,

and uh,

it really added something, Everyone got

the same green cloak other than

Paul and Tall John.

Yeah, I missed that it was we were all getting green and you brought a red cloak.

It was purple.

It was purple.

Oh, yeah, because Janie got a green.

Janie got a green.

Yeah, okay.

And so I was like, well, I'll get a different color.

If I'd only known, if I'd only checked a little closer

on the text thread stand out.

But it helped Tall John because he was wearing a brown, like Obi-Wan Kenobi kind of robe.

Why did that happen?

I don't know.

I never, I was too busy trying to figure out the robe.

I bet he already had it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so that was kind of, then we were a hodgepodge a little bit.

But it was, yeah.

So Scott had to learn the rules of the game, which is the hard role.

So what happened?

No, wait, the idea behind the cloaks also, the color behind of the cloaks, was that we're also going to wear them when we go out to dinner at Christmas time.

Oh, right.

Because green cloaks at Christmas time.

But you have a red one.

You already have one.

I do.

I do.

So you should wear the red one and you'll be like Santa and we'll all be like elves.

Right, and we'll be like sorry.

Santa, thanks for taking us to dinner.

Yeah.

So

I appreciate that.

So if I showed up with a Santa costume to the dinner, that would be great.

You'd be a log and dinner.

You'd be the bell of the ball at the restaurant.

Are you kidding?

Everyone would be able to eat.

No, everyone would want to talk to you.

I mean, because the cheese we are just

like Dan Aykroyd in training places.

So you think that he dresses as Santa and everyone just comes up and goes Santa.

There's going to to be kids there.

And then they want a picture at that place.

I could see that happening.

Will you get in our photo?

Santa Santa Santa.

Well, here's what I said.

Santa Santa Santa.

Santa Santa over here.

Santa Santa Santa.

Do you believe what that woman said?

Do you believe what that woman?

How do you respond?

Did you have sexual relations with that woman?

Anyway, so here's what, you know, we all said, oh, how do we play this?

And the person with the game.

Jessica.

Yes.

Are we protecting her identity?

I don't know.

She wants to be named.

Okay.

So Jessica's.

We all do.

Jessica said, oh, everyone assumes it was like when we played Mafia, because Traders is kind of based on Mafia.

And years ago, we had all played Mafia as this group.

Yes.

Yes.

When we became the group that we are today.

Yes.

So we all assumed it was like Mafia.

And then Jessica said, I'll check out the rules and figure it out.

And then she confessed she opened it like an hour before

the event.

And they're kind of confusing.

But I will say, so I was very grateful that you took it on because it's very hard to learn a game and then suddenly teach everybody the game.

And you did a good job.

And

then once you explained it, it was actually very clear.

It was just a lot.

It involves an app, it involves pulling cards, it involves which, by the way, it sounds confusing, but it actually made it very fun.

The app part of it.

Yeah, the app part of it is really fun.

Which we got an iPad out and it's you write down a name of the person you're doing.

It's like the chalkboards on Traders.

And then you also get to like, it also randomizes things for you so you you don't have to do that part yourself.

We all spelled each other's names wrong when we banished people.

It was really exciting.

And I was immediately banished.

Oh, you know what I realized?

As I was falling asleep that night, I was like, I think I had a shield when everyone murdered me.

No.

Or when they tried to kill me.

Yes.

You should have used it.

Where was it in a banishment that you can't use a shield?

Was that

banished or murdered?

Shield does not shield.

Never mind.

Then I couldn't have used it.

Okay, good.

I was banished very quickly.

I was a faithful and no one believed me.

And there was something so

sad about that.

It came for you so hard early in the game.

What I realized, you watch traders and you kind of go like, oh, it must be so easy to figure out who's a traitor.

Yeah.

Because they're just so suspicious.

And then you play it and it's next to impossible.

No, and I couldn't stop laughing.

I was like smiling, saying I'm not, but I was like, I actually think if I was a traitor, I wouldn't be laughing.

I'd be

fighting.

Yeah, you were

acting suspicious.

I was like laughing.

And then he's like, we We keep laughing.

And then I tried to get really serious, and I got really serious, and then I still got killed off.

And then I had to say, I got to stand in the doorway and say that I'm a faithful person.

Which was whenever, when anybody got banished, we would have them stand in the doorway.

In the doorway,

there's like a spotlight.

And Jess did the brilliant move of finding

the Traitor's music on Spotify.

Oh, that really helped a lot, too.

So there's like a Traitor's playlist, and it's all that, it's all spooky covers of spots.

Terrible, like somebody's watching me.

Yeah,

and then someone's like, Heart of Glass.

For some reason, Blondie's heart of glass.

Blondie's had a love.

But it sometimes the timing of the music was absolutely perfect.

Yeah.

Where just suddenly you would cut out, and then that's when the app would reveal who we all banished.

Yeah.

And yeah, it was very exciting.

It was really fun.

It was really fun.

Two games.

Yeah, two rounds.

And

Paul was pretty suspicious

well here's the thing they're in and I realized why they did this later

Which is they made changes to the game there's stuff that's not on the TV show that you can do and it's because it's they're trying to differentiate it from mafia or from werewolf right so they don't get in trouble I think were we to play it again I would try to tailor it a little more like the actual TV show.

I thought the same thing because there's a card.

You get this dagger card, which means you can blackmail someone.

You can look at their

cards and you see if they're feeling cards,

which is not something you, that it kind of spoils the game.

Yeah.

I mean, I figured there's a way you could play it where it's like werewolf, where you, um,

you know, somebody leads the game.

Somebody is the Alan Cumming or the Claudia Winkleman and says,

you know,

if you wanted to have more than one traitor, you know,

traders open your eyes, look at each other.

You identify so you know.

Here's my solution.

That's a fun part of mafia that you're playing.

You know you're teamed up with

you decide together who to kill.

My solution to that part of it is that we buy, or I think you already were buying another card set.

I bought it immediately.

And that we played with eight people, and there's only one trader card.

We put the other trader card in there.

And so there's nine cards for eight people.

So

there's the possibility of there being one or two traders.

You could just do it with, oh, but I guess, so there is a trader card that you can get midway through the game that allows you to be organized.

It's a different color once again.

Oh, so the back.

Okay.

Yeah, the back is a different color.

Anyway, so that's, but it was a lot of fun, and I got to be a trader.

I was, to be honest, when I got the card.

Very successful trader.

You are.

When I got the card, I was like, oh, fuck.

Because everyone, anytime I play mafia or whatever, everyone assumes I'm mafia because I play very hard.

But this time,

you were playing more reserved, but I think it was because you were in charge of the rules.

Yes.

Yes.

People discounted you immediately.

Yeah.

Yes.

I was sort of playing into that in the second one, like being sort of distracted by rules and stuff like that.

And then even once I went outside to take the dogs outside as if I couldn't care less about what was happening.

And the whole time I'm like listening for, are they bringing me up?

That's why I kind of missed somebody leading the game.

And of course, that's my favorite thing to do.

Yeah.

Yes.

When you are not part of the game, in mafia, one can not be part of the game and lead the game.

Yes.

I enjoy that more than playing games.

You know what it should be?

We could get eight people, and you could do it.

I'd be like, what if you don't even need it to separate?

If you have a host, that person can just tap two people to each other.

Exactly, yeah.

Okay, cool.

I like that.

So there's ways around this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

But it was really, really fun.

And I bought the game right away because I was like, I want to try this with different groups of people.

Oh, yeah, I got to buy it.

Because we

all know each other.

Yeah.

And we know ourselves.

And we were all, for the most part, couples.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that was very fun in the last game where I was the trader that it came down to you and Janie and me and Kulop.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I intentionally killed Kulop because I'm like, she just always suspects me.

So same with Janie.

Yeah.

So, so

she wasn't even at that point.

I don't know what she was doing, but I thought for sure she was when she got accused, she was reacting in such a way that was like, oh, it's you for sure.

See, I was, I knew it was me.

Yeah.

But I also remember when we were in Hawaii and we played Mafia and I said, point blank,

are you mafia?

And she went, ha ha,

no.

And I was like, okay.

But we also, we really enjoyed doing all of the tropes from the TV show.

It was really fun.

It was really fun.

It was actually, because we all like that show, it was like really, it was like a fan club.

Like, it was so silly to like have the music on with the cloaks.

I was like, oh, I love this.

It was funny.

And writing down on an iPad, like everyone's name.

It was very fun.

A lot of fun to be had.

And we're not sponsored by that game.

You know what, they should get at us.

Yeah, get at us.

We'll do an episode of All of Us.

Oh, wow.

Like we did that other game.

Yeah.

Oh, that's what she said.

Yeah.

That was fun.

It's not a bad idea.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's not a bad idea.

We'll bonus up.

Lauren also, I'm not going to say it on the, the recording, but Lauren had a great idea.

I did have a good idea.

Yeah.

Oh, I want to hear.

Well, we're.

We'll have to tell you at the end of the show.

Well, I mean, we're going to take a break.

You can tell me now.

Let's take a break.

Now that you're all caught up with our extracurricular activities.

Yes, which you've been asking about.

Everyone's like, what did you guys do together?

We're going to come right back with more freedom.

It's back to the back to school season.

School season, little boys and girls.

But you know what's not on the syllabus this year?

Tell me, getting schooled by your old wireless bill.

And as always, Quince is where I'm turning for fall staples that actually last.

From cashmere to denim to boots.

I'm seeing you so furious.

I'm mad, but I'm getting happier.

The quality holds up, and the price still blows me away.

Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear non-stop.

Like super soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at $60.

I gotta ask you about their denim.

Okay, well, their denim's durable and it fits right.

What about leather jackets?

They are real and they bring that clean, classic edge without the elevated price tag.

Sounds good.

What makes Quince different?

Hey, everyone.

Oh, hey, well, they partner directly with ethical factories and skip the middlemen.

So you get top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands.

Can I hear some personal experience from you?

Because I'm still a little skeptical for some reason.

Well, one of my favorite pieces from Quince is their 100% Merino Wool All-Season Short-Sleeve T.

Now, I've been trying to incorporate more natural fibers into my wardrobe, as I'm telling you all the time.

And wool totally fits the bill.

It's naturally heat-regulating, so it helps keep you warm in winter, cool in summer.

The perfect thing for this in-between season.

Now, I've been wearing mine so much, I just ordered one in another color.

I want to keep it classic and cool this fall.

Do you have any suggestions?

You should do that with long-lasting staples from Quince.

Go to quince.com/slash threedom for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns.

No, that's great.

How do you spell it?

I was gonna say

365-day returns is amazing because if you're like me, sometimes you forget to return something.

Yes, and when you miss the window, like 200 days in, you might be like, I gotta return it.

Honestly, I've done that before.

That's q-u-in-ce-e.com/slash threedom.

Free shipping and 365 days returns.

This is connected to something that happened during the break, but

Stranger Things,

the TV show,

is what I would call the TV show Better Things when I was trying to reference it.

Oh, Better Things.

Yes.

And Say Nothing, the miniseries about

the IRA,

I would refer to as Say Anything.

And both of these I would do without realizing that I had done them.

So you were leading a wake of confusion?

Yes.

Do you mean this?

Do you mean better things?

Like, yes, I do.

It's talking about Irish people.

Speaking of say anything, I loved Ione Sky's memoir, Say Everything.

I want to

plug it.

I love it.

I've heard it's really entertaining.

It's really entertaining.

It's moving.

I cried at the end.

And it's also fun to hear who she's.

Oh,

she names names all over the place.

She finds them all.

Really, really fun.

Really fun.

This sounds, dare I say, shagadelic.

It is shaggedy.

I think that's one of the quotes on the back of the book.

Yeah.

I think my friend Austin left a blurb about it.

This book is shagged, baby.

Yeah.

I'm sorry, my colleague.

It would be fun to have a blurb from one fictional character.

I loved it, Snoopy.

I read this whole length.

Call me Ishmael.

Ishmael.

Couldn't put it down, Mr.

Bagoo.

Couldn't figure out where to put it down.

Couldn't put it down because my hand was glued to it.

Nothing bad ever happened to him.

It only happened to other people.

Yeah.

Oh, that's true.

He was always spared.

Yeah.

Well, we, I mean, we don't want him to die at the end of every cartoon, do we?

I don't know.

It got pretty annoying.

Yeah.

Would you say that Kenny is

because of his vanity?

He wouldn't put on glasses.

Just wear glasses.

By the way, they're cool now.

There's plenty of stuff.

We can pick out a nice frame that everyone will go like, oh, you're a pretty hip, Mr.

Magoo.

I would love to see Mr.

Magoo in tinted lenses.

Yeah.

Yeah.

One time, do you know the, you're familiar, of course, with Jumbo's Clown Room?

Of course.

This is a local striptease emporium.

Yes.

And it's a sort of alt kind of thing.

It was kind of alt back in the 90s before that was really a thing.

Yes, before

all women had a pole in their living room.

Yeah.

We had one for

a long time.

Everybody did.

I'm so glad.

But I went there.

Did I get it?

Well, at a certain point, did she stop using it?

And then you were like, now we just have a pole.

And it reminds me of Bunny, you used to do that.

But it was like you, you legitimately have to

put it into a yeah, because it's like has to support it has to support.

So it's like we had to install it.

Yeah.

And then you just have a big pole.

Was it in your room or anything?

It was in like my office, my library room.

I got to go in there, by the way.

Okay.

Have fun.

Because we wanted to know how big that room is.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'm going to go in.

I've never have known.

During the break, I'm going.

So I'm there at Jumbo's Clown Room, and uh,

when is this?

Yesterday?

This is years ago.

During my break, this morning for breakfast.

I ate eggs and then I went to Jumbo's.

Have you ever eaten at a strip club?

No,

I have not either, but you hear about these buffets.

I have been to, and you hear some people going, like, oh, this one is the best buffet.

I've been to a strip club, I think, four times, counting twice at Jumbo's.

And I was the two other times, regular old gentlemen's clubs, very uncomfortable, didn't like being there.

Because

they asked you to strip.

Because Jumbo's is more, it's much, it's more gentlemen.

I thought you were saying a gentleman's club is some, but if that's just a typical strip club, yes, exactly.

Yeah, it's more a cooperative educational.

Jumbo's is more like it's it's like girls with tattoos getting a little crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not

women would go, it's not as sexual.

It's more, it's more of a hangout.

It was, it was a, it's like a bar with a stage, and then it, it felt more like this is the one place you could go with your friends who are women, and they could enjoy it.

Actually, I think the last time I ever went to a strip club was with you in San Francisco.

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, I've been to, I don't know.

You were making it rain.

I was making it rain.

I love to make a rain or strip club.

With your money.

No, it was Dave Tooney's.

Oh, we've talked about this.

You know, Dave's talked about it.

And so one of the dancers got off stage.

Please stop thinking it's my money.

I really thought it was.

I know you have for years.

Because how long ago was that?

Please stop thinking.

That was 10 years ago.

At least.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is Dave Tooney Erasure.

I know.

Thanks, Dave.

One of the dancers

got off stage and walked past me.

And I was wearing glasses.

And she stopped and she looked at me and tousled my hair

and said, oh, Mr.

Magu.

What?

Do you know what's crazy, though?

I have to just jump back.

I have a very distinct memory that it was your money.

Just myself.

I know.

And And the last time this came up, I believe on this show, I said, I don't think it was my money.

And then I said, was it Dave Tooney's?

And you went, oh, that's right.

Okay.

I think it's him.

We can call.

I can text him right now.

I ran into Dave right before I came to do the traders.

I saw him on the street.

We yelled out and chatted with him.

That's right.

He lives

this next street over.

I see him all the time.

And the last time I did, about a couple of weeks ago, I really wanted to text, I saw your ass.

Yeah.

But I didn't.

Did he move or is that where he was?

Because he was always an hour.

I don't know.

I saw somebody that I knew today in our respective cars.

I was turning onto a street.

And as I did, it was like one of those things where our faces went past each other.

Yeah.

And it was a very strange experience because we did not have time to acknowledge each other.

I almost hit Carl Tart on the street.

Oh, I know this one.

We know this one.

Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah.

Wait, again?

No.

No, but that one time

and then and then I got in my head of like, because he gave me a uh-uh, he gave me the Dekembe.

And I was like, did he recognize me?

Like months later, I told you, yeah, and he did.

He said, oh, yeah.

I wanted to own up to it.

But you were wondering because you have tinted windows.

No, I don't.

I don't have tinted windows.

It was dark, and I was like.

I was trying to have fun.

I don't know.

Oh, I'm fucking tinted.

I forgot about your tinted windows, baby.

Jesus.

You have rainbow windows in your car.

You have a rainbow windshield.

By the way, I hit a car the other day.

What?

Park car.

I don't know.

Got into an accident.

I was doing a favor for a friend.

I went to a place.

I was doughnuts in the parking lot.

I'll tell you what, I'll do some donuts.

If you have a chance, could you do some donuts in the parking lot?

Please.

I need somebody to do it today or else I go crazy.

I went to a place I'd never been before.

Narnia?

Narnia.

It was my friend Aslan.

You guys have been friends.

You've never been there?

I love that guy.

You finally did a favor for Aslan.

Yeah,

so I went to this place I'd never been with a big parking lot.

I'm looking around for where I'm supposed to go.

And I've, and this parking lot

has the narrowest, narrowest spaces where they are

just really trying to cook one extra space into everyone.

Spaces.

And I made that left into it and crunch.

Crunch got their bumper with my bumper

and

got out, and

no one's there.

No, no person in the car could have driven away.

The perfect crime, didn't have anything.

This is, here's the problem: didn't have anything to write a note with.

So, I had to park,

go to where I was going, which was like a 10-minute walk.

Oh, who does this favor?

Then ask the people in this office, like, hey, you don't have a piece of paper with a pen, do you?

And they were like, How many times do people ask us this every single day?

Of course, we have pens of it.

We're in an office.

Yeah, so Tons of car accidents in that parking lot.

Yeah.

And 10 minutes away.

So I told them what happened.

They went, oh, yeah, that parking lot's terrible.

And

then I wrote the note and

delivered it.

And when they were in the middle of the day, did they contact you?

Yes, of course.

Good.

But

they said, oh, my Nick.

You're like, well, it wasn't even more in the car.

Like, oh, I can't hear you, Mick Nick.

It's like that Brady Bunch episode.

Yes, where Uncle Fester tried to sue them.

Oh, yeah.

Is it Uncle Uncle Fester?

Yeah, Jackie Coogan.

And they have the neck brace, and then they'd make a loud noise, and the person turns like, ha, it was a fake neck brace.

But I'll tell you how much of a hero I am.

Not only did I leave the note, I never told my friend that I was doing the favor.

That's very good.

Because I don't want them to feel guilty about me doing them a favor.

Good job, Scott.

You're a good person.

Good job.

That's the right thing to do.

Thank you.

And the right time to do it.

Quaker Oaks.

It's hard sometimes to not give that little extra extra detail.

Like, by the way.

But you don't want to do it.

You do feel like you're a living saint when you leave information out of something that was a pain in the ass to do it.

Yeah.

Well, it's like when my

mutual friend's dog was lost, and we went up and down the hills.

Doggyham, our mutual friend.

He was lost.

Yeah.

And we spent hours and hours and hours the day after Christmas looking for the dog going up and down the hills.

Up and down.

And a bee stung my hand.

And I never told him

because we found the dog and he was so happy.

I didn't want to say, by the way, a bee stung me.

The reason my hand looks like a boxing glove

due to helping you.

Hope you and your fucking dog are happy.

Merry Christmas to you.

Merry post-Christmas.

I was in the middle of watching Little Women.

Bob Odenkirk just walked in.

My little women.

I watched that for the first time like this year and I loved it.

It's great.

I had been putting it off for who knows why.

I like, I think of the little women's that I've seen.

Yeah.

I think I liked the one before that

better.

Yeah.

I need to rewatch it.

Because here's why.

I don't.

Oh, we should do a Scott hasn't seen it.

No, I've seen it.

It felt like the non-I haven't.

The non-men.

You can just call them men.

Non-non-linear

storytelling.

Seemed arbitrary to me.

In which one?

The Greta Gerwig?

Yeah.

Oh, I got.

Oh, yeah.

I don't remember.

But she's like trying to publish and she wasn't back.

I felt like

it was an intentional thing to differentiate it from other adaptations of the book.

Yeah.

And I was like, well, it doesn't really do anything for me.

It's so sweet.

I love that book, too, as a kid.

I've never read the book.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I had this really nice set that Louisa May Alcott.

Little Women and then

Anne of Green Gables.

Like they all had like really beautiful spines, and I really liked those as a kid.

My mom really liked,

yeah,

my mom really liked the Anne of Green Gables stuff.

I loved those books as a kid.

Anna Avonlea.

What's it about?

I don't really remember.

It's like a young girl who lives in a countryside, and then what's she doing all day?

I don't know.

We're talking about Gables?

I don't remember what she does.

Yeah, I know she's Canadian.

Is she?

I believe so, yeah.

Oh, where's she from?

I believe it's Canadian.

Queensland

Queensrake?

Silent Lucidity.

It is

the most famous one.

That is the most famous one.

Silent Lucidity.

The author is Canadian.

Yeah.

Is it 1908?

What's her name again?

Lucy Maude Montgomery.

Public.

Yes, yes.

I did a dead office.

For all ages, it has been considered a classic children's novel since the mid-20th century, set in the late 19th century.

The novel recounts the adventures of an 11-year-old orphan girl, Anne Shirley, sent by mistake to two middle-aged siblings, Matthew and Marilla.

Who had originally intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea in Prince Edward Island, Canada?

Prince Edward Island.

The novel recounts how Anne makes her way through life with the Cuthberts in school and within the town.

Oh, you know what?

I want to reread this.

I feel like crying a little bit looking at this.

Go ahead.

What are you going to do?

Read it to Holly.

Okay.

Is she old enough to hear chapter books or something?

No, and she's barely interested in in a book right now.

She just wants to run around.

Yeah.

Play with toys, watch a movie.

It's pretty great.

Pretty great life.

She's living it up.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There was a piece of advice, parenting advice that we got sent that I thought was actually pretty good, which is like, when you're trying to get your kid to do something,

if you can phrase it in a way that makes it sound like it's play, because kids only want to play all the time.

If you can phrase it.

Yeah, let's play the game when you shut the fuck up.

And read.

You know, when I sort of tricked her into sitting down with the book a few times recently because she just doesn't want to

with these I spy type books.

Oh, yeah.

And I'm like, ooh, wait, okay.

Well, I don't know where that is.

And then we start like looking at it and she gets really illustrated.

Emmy loves the finding books.

So not finding anything.

But I mean, like, like we're trying to get her to stand up out of the bath and it's like, You can only go like, stand up, honey.

Honey, will you please stand up?

Because she doesn't want to, you know but if you go like hey do you think your head could touch my hand up here she'll go like jump up and like try to do it you know what i mean so it's like exhausting yeah yeah yeah finding the ways around finding the way yeah you know yeah

we've we've the the timeout threat is

is pretty potent oh yeah she's

she's gotten timeout since the threat of the timeout and then but then it almost upsets her so much that it's like you know fine you don't have to do it

with the the timeout timeout like just stop whatever you're doing so you don't have to have the timeout just listen to me what happens during a timeout you just have sick quiet sit in her bed for like a minute yeah timeout and it's like you have to time exactly how long it is but like just putting emmy in the chair even she's just like i don't want to do this you know it's just like kids hate to be bored so the thought of like sitting in a chair

you're not allowed to do anything you know even though it's like i'd love to go sit in a chair for a minute i know and it's one minute.

It's like, it's fine.

Check back with me and you're older.

You're going to love to sit in a chair.

No, I mean, that's the thing.

Like, last night, it was, it was like getting to be funny how much she wouldn't let either of us sit down.

Like, we both were just like, we were so tired and we were just desperate to like wrap it up for the night, you know?

And then she's kept being like, mommy, come over here.

Look at this.

Like about everything.

And then like begging to watch a movie.

And then I was like, it's too late to watch a movie.

And then that turned into a meltdown.

And then I was like, you need to watch 10 minutes.

And then I put that on and I got on on my phone and I laid on the couch.

And I was like, one hour later?

Like, I literally was like, I just let it happen.

And then I turned it off and she went insane.

And I was like, that was my fault.

It was completely my fault.

Like, I was like, I just caused all of this by not just getting through the first tantrum and not letting it happen.

What if you had said to her, like, just really gaslitter and like, that was 10 minutes?

Yeah, I mean, I said 10 minutes and that was 10 minutes.

But I said, that was an hour.

You just got to watch an hour and now you're upset.

I mean, he doesn't have a concept of time yet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

She does this.

She'll be like, if it's like a TV show, she'll be like, oh, another one, another one, another one.

And like, they're usually short.

So I'm like, okay, one more.

And then the hour passed, though, like last night, it was truly like, I just was so tired that it just felt so good to finally, like, she stopped asking me for things.

Yeah, yeah.

And I was just so glad.

And then,

and then it took me started this thing where she, okay, she always wants to do a dance party before bath, right?

Of course.

But now she started to get very, very bossy about how we dance.

Like

it used to be like, she'd go, no, no, dance with me.

And that would be be enough.

And you could dance however you wanted to dance.

But now she's very much like, no, don't dance there.

Dance here.

No, don't, no, dance like this.

Dance, you know, where it's just like, I'm just like a choreographer.

Yes.

In the making.

And what if Debbie is her career?

And then this is where you pay in sweat.

I'd like to pay in sweat for things.

Sure.

You know?

Yeah.

Like a car.

How much sweat do you want?

Summertime going a shopping spree.

All that money.

All that money.

all that sweat sweat sweat that sweet sweet sweat keith sweat keith sweat yep

keith sweat yep keith urban i believe keith will take care of this

are keith urban and carl urban related or is urban just a common australian name that's a good question thank you are that's a great question keith urban

They don't look anything alike.

And Carl Urban related.

This comes up.

No, they're not related despite sharing the same surname and both being from New Zealand.

Here's a more detailed explanation.

Urban was from Australia.

He's from New Zealand.

He's from New Zealand.

Wow.

Yeah.

Wow.

Wow.

Carl's management has made statements confirming they are not related.

Carl's management in the East Coast is called Hardy's.

Carl's Jr.

Yeah.

Shouldn't it be Carl Jr.'s?

Well, yes.

It should be.

It's kind of like Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

Like Whopper's Jr.

No.

That's how you pluralize Whopper Jr.

But I always assumed that it was not Whopper Jr.'s.

I thought Carl's Jr.

was like an unfinished phrase.

Like it's Carl Carl's Jr.'s summer hamburger.

Is that so?

Yeah.

I was talking about this the other day.

I don't know if you saw that Michael Keaton McDonald's movie, but no.

No, I didn't do that.

I saw that movie when you advertised and I was like, what's in it for me?

How are you going to get me in the door?

That's how I feel about any movie.

It's like, why am I paying for this?

You pay me to watch this.

My time's a valuable.

You pay me to set up your stage.

Yeah.

He kills him.

Are you watching The Studio?

I've watched a couple of scenes.

The Kool-Aid movie thing.

I think that's right.

But it's just funny how they're, yes, go ahead.

Yes, anyway, but

the one scene that I think about

anytime I think about fast food, though, is the first time he ever goes to a McDonald's.

Like, he hears about it or something, and he so he goes, Oh, I guess,

I'm trying to like chew gum while I'm doing my Michael compression.

I guess I'll go to this McDonald's thing.

So, he goes and he goes up to the counter,

so he goes up to the counter, he's like,

I'll have a burger fries

thing, yeah, and then they take a burger fries, yeah, and then they hand him a bag and he and they go, Here you go.

And he goes, What's this?

And they go, What's your food?

He goes, No, I just ordered it.

Let's, this is someone else's.

You got me confused.

They're going, no.

Too fast.

Yeah, too fast.

He goes, they go, no, this is your food.

He goes, no, no, no.

You got to make it.

Like, I, I just ordered it right now.

You think of some of my.

Oh, my God.

This is like when people invent songs in movies like we were talking about.

No, but I know, but it's they made food fast.

But it is fascinating because you don't think about it.

And then he's like, well, do I need silverware?

They go, no, you just eat it with your hands.

He goes, where do I eat it?

They go, anywhere.

Wait, never heard of a hamburger before?

He just ordered it.

It must have seemed weird, I guess.

His.

Yeah.

I don't know.

I always pictured like they already had like a hot dog stand or fries, you know, like those types of places where you just grab one thing and walk away.

It's like a boardwalk or whatever.

Cone islands.

So it's that, but it's in a house.

Is this movie trying to say that mcdonald's invented the idea of a hamburger stand

with a roof over it

i don't know what the i don't know what the movie's trying to purport i'm just saying that scene is very interesting to me this guy is a he's a genius for buying somebody else's business well no he he went into it like this is ray croc's story and then he went into it with ways to constantly streamline it and make it like fast and the shape machines and all that kind of stuff.

The first McDonald's, I believe, is in Towney.

We just passed it the other day.

Uh-huh.

Congrats.

Hey, I've been there.

What do you want from me?

I have to say, there are two letters in their sign that are like don't work.

Like either they don't light up or they are, they're not on the sign or whatever.

I'm like, McDonald's

huge business.

This is your first nuts.

Your first nuts.

It's a pet peeve for me with that.

It's crazy that the first McDonald's would have that issue, but it's a pet peeve for me with any business where I think if I owned a franchise, I would be like, and if my like, you know, light went out, I'd go, oh, that's one of my first things I got to fix.

Because it makes it look really dingy.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Or like, you're supposed to read, it's like Catwoman smashing then behind your apartment.

Hell here.

Yeah.

What was it?

It said hello there.

Hello there.

That's right.

I loved her apartments.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I do like that moment.

I thought that was good.

Hell here.

She's awesome.

She's awesome.

All right, we have to take a break.

All right.

I'm Hussin Minhaj, and I have been lying to you.

I only pretended to be a comedian so I could trick important people into coming on my podcast, Hussin Minhaj doesn't know, to ask them the tough questions that real journalists are way too afraid to ask.

People like Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Is America too dumb for democracy?

Outrageously.

Parenting expert Dr.

Becky.

How do you skip consequences without raising a psychopath?

That's a good question.

Listen to Hussa Minhaj Doesn't Know from Lemonada Media, wherever you get your podcasts.

We're back in Paul.

It's Three Shears a Game.

Okay, this is called Out of 10.

What's a game?

You don't know what a game is?

Give me one example.

Global thermonuclear war.

Yes.

A typical game.

Right.

Got it.

The stakes are very high in that game.

Well, you know what?

The only way to win is to not deny.

That's right.

Okay, so I'm going to do that for this.

Great idea.

I don't blame you.

Hi, Lauren.

You still have your phonograph.

Guys, it's 1234 right now.

It's 1234.

It's tough.

Okay.

It's 1234.

It's 1234.

What's 1234?

Time.

It's 1234.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, my God.

Everybody get under the table.

1, One, two, three, four.

This is a three church submitted by a listener.

If you would like to submit a threechole to us, write to us at threedomusa at gmail.com.

It's fun.

It's educational.

It's free.

You can brag about it.

It's incredibly free, although I guess you get bragging rights like this.

For internet, technically.

Yeah.

Technically, you're paying childcare that your parents had to pay for to raise you.

But that said, it's fun.

You can brag to all of your friends that, hey, did you ever listen to that podcast that I told you about that sounded annoying?

They said my name.

Said my name on it.

And like this person's name, Marissa.

Say my name, say my name.

Marissa submitted a feature called Out of 10.

One player is, we've played this before, and we're going to try it again.

One player is the guesser, while remaining players agree on a number from one to ten.

The guesser asks categories the others answer with an item corresponding to the chosen number on a scale from one to ten.

One being the worst, ten being the best.

The answers can be subjective.

I mean, yeah.

In the personal opinion, I'm also answering.

They will be for sure.

Oh, yeah, this got a little confusing.

By the way, I want to say when we played Traders the other night,

I started explaining the rules of the game, and almost immediately Lauren said, Well, why don't we just play it where and decide to change the rules?

And I said, I'm glad you're porting this over from Freedom into our

Yeah, that's just part of my personality.

Let me give an example.

If the number is 10 and the guesser gives the category films, the person being asked to reply with a film, they consider consider a 10 out of 10.

After a few rounds, the guesser tries to guess the number.

Now, the last time we played this, I found it was very tricky

because we're relying on what we know of each other

and what we would think

the other person

rates whatever.

How many shots of this do we get again?

And I was also relying on some of my knowledge from Scott Hasn't Seen, from listening to the podcast.

And I was surprised at some of the things you rated.

What the way you rated as what?

I don't remember.

But I remembered hearing you on the podcast saying this movie sucked, and then you rated it a six when we were playing this game.

Not a six, certainly, but well,

by the way, that's a binary choice.

I'm glad I watched it or I didn't watch it.

But you say more than that.

Okay.

So what are...

Who gives the number?

I can do a

randomizer.

Players agree on a number from one to 10.

Oh, but then how are we agree?

Here's to vote.

Here we go.

But if we agree on a number,

why don't we do that number?

Are we supposed to not know what the number is?

No, why don't we do the number randomizer?

Oh, and we'll all agree.

Because I'm supposed to guess what number it was.

Like you name, you say a movie, and I go,

I think Paul would give that a four.

I feel like two of us have to know the number and one of us doesn't, right?

Yes.

Paul, you should

say, I'm looking at it right now.

For example, you guys text each other a number, and then I don't know what the number is, and so I'm asking categories, and you're not going to be able to do that.

Yes, I think that is something we had to intuit.

For example, if the number is 10 and the guesser gives category films, the person being asked should reply with a film they consider a 10 out of 10.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

So, do you want to be the guesser first, Lauren?

Sure.

Okay, I'm going to randomize this number.

So,

we're trying to guess the number based on.

So, the person who is the

guesser,

Lauren in this case, is trying to guess what the number is.

Right.

I was going to say the person who has the number, they come up with the number.

Yeah.

I just came up with the number.

So the agreed-upon thing has nothing, we don't agree upon a number.

No, no, that's right.

But we can agree.

When I sent it to you, I hope you'll agree.

It's more aspirational.

Can you text me back?

I agree or I disagree.

I'm waiting for Paul's text because I've sent him the number.

Now I'm on pins and needles waiting for him to either agree with this number or disagree with this number.

By the way, I sent you the poster for the Downton Abbey movie, yes,

and you never responded.

No, but I did immediately tell Janie that there's a third Downton Abbey movie coming.

Oh, Paul's text me back.

I've waffled between a few, but now that just brought it down.

I guess I'll do one more category just to kind of

a

city to visit.

Cleveland.

Dallas.

Four.

No.

I thought we were going to say it together.

Oh, three, two, one, six.

It started as a seven, and then you started getting more like,

and I feel like six is still pretty good.

Six is six is just over

half.

Yeah.

And it's like, these are like something like Stranger Things is, to me, is a true six where it's like, it's watchable enough, but I don't, I didn't continue to watch it.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

And for me, the date was like going out to dinner

and only doing dinner

would maybe be a seven or eight if it's your favorite.

You mean not having sex?

Yeah.

No, 10 is having sex.

Only, only going to dinner and not having sex afterwards.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Exactly.

I love dinner immediately after sex.

And funyans are.

They drink both.

Barbecue chips.

I was like, barbecue chips.

And I was like, funyans.

Yeah, but barbecue chips aren't a 10.

No, but they're always good.

They're good.

And I really wanted them for six.

I feel six is really good.

I would put barbecue chips way lower because I don't like them.

Okay, okay.

All right.

I'm going to be the guesser now.

You guys.

Okay.

I'm going to text you a number.

We need to, you need to agree on this number, okay?

This can't be a lengthy debate about the number, okay?

Like, you, you, we have to pick one and move on at a certain point.

Um, so I need you.

Do you agree?

We don't want you to verbally agree.

We need you to text back if you agree or not.

Now, you won't know if we agreed or not.

Oh, okay.

Well, I'm pretty sure if the game is.

He wrote, I agree to this number.

Sorry.

That was private.

Okay.

I told you that in confidence.

You got to give him a category?

Yeah.

No, he gives us a category.

I give it to you.

80s songs.

Hey Mickey category to us, though.

No, I gave a category.

I'm the guesser.

She's the guesser.

I'm the captain now.

And now we both say something that's rated that number to us.

I'm back.

Yeah.

I said hey, Mickey, that song.

Hey, Mickey, yes.

It's just Mickey, but okay.

Did you say 80s pop songs?

You've had to use it.

Okay.

And now I'm going to say

actors over 70.

I think he's over 70.

Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Wilfred Brimley.

He's very much over 70 in that he is dead.

He's under 70 degrees.

Okay.

And then I'm going to guess.

Okay.

I'm going to guess.

This is hard because I love both of your songs so much, but I feel like you don't.

So I'm going to guess

five.

No.

No.

The

number

is.

Well, you want to guess one more time?

Okay, I'll guess one more time.

Four.

I meant do you want to give us another category?

Okay, okay.

Vacation destinations.

Didn't we?

Okay.

Gary, Indiana.

She said city to visit.

I'm saying vacation destination.

Oh, I get somebody's picture.

So this is a one

vacation destination.

Librea char pits

for a full vacation.

So, like a week there?

Well, if you're vacationing to from another place, from another place, one of the spots, you okay?

It would be a destination.

This is me asking you as a person, not me asking a person who lives out of town.

Yeah, okay.

I stand by it.

So,

so

I'm supposed to guess you deciding to go on a vacation to the La Brea tar pits.

If I'm on vacation and I end up at the La Brea Tar Pits, what number is it?

This is what I give it.

Okay, this is a one.

No,

what is it?

The number is

two.

You really don't like Sesudio that much?

No, it's dumb.

It's about a person named Sasudio.

Presumably.

It's annoying.

And you don't like Hay Mickey?

Yeah, I had to think of one that I don't really want to hear.

Okay.

And I'll say that.

All right.

Wow.

Okay.

All right.

Paul, you're gonna be the guesser, and you will agree upon a number, yeah.

Lauren, do you want to send it or do you want to receive it?

I want to send it.

Okay, I'm looking forward to getting this number, I have to say.

Oh, I texted to Paul.

Well, that's not going to be the number,

it's not going to be the number.

Do you want to leave?

Okay, do you trust not to look at your phone?

I trust not to look at my phone.

Okay, okay, I'd like the same number.

Okay, I've received it and I agree to this number verbally.

Okay, so they agree.

That's good, it's helpful.

Um

a decade in which you've been alive

the nineties

the

two thousand tens

okay

um

A

comedy film

from

your childhood

Wayne's World.

Oh, from my childhood.

Children, children.

Younger than 18.

City Alliance.

Shut the fuck up.

The projectionist?

The Lemon Drop kid

cold places

London

Philadelphia

heard of it?

Hmm.

My dog is screaming upstairs.

Absolute pig squeals.

Yes.

Does not like being left alone.

Beach activity.

Playing in the ocean.

I'll go playing with it in the ocean too.

I'm going to take a guess.

Okay.

Eight.

Yes.

Three.

Come on.

Three, two, one.

Yes.

The number

is eight.

Good job.

Thank you.

But also, good job to us for saying exactly where the number eight is.

We kind of win.

What's better?

Okay, so eight is there's only two above.

What's a better cold place than London to you?

Oh, I mean, because I think London's a nine.

Well, I thought Paris, I think New York is a 10.

New York, Chicago.

I was like, Chicago's not

a 10 cold place for me would be Iceland.

No, I think, yeah, like something like Alaska or something where it's actually like

very nature-beautiful.

Yeah, I want to go to Alaska.

Well, I've never been there.

I thought once about driving to Alaska.

I was like, how long would it take you?

And what's the route?

And I looked it up and I'm like, It sounds dangerous, actually.

Sounds long.

Also, I did, you know, like I do, I do enjoy sort of driving

when we're on tour because it's not as long, but anything over five hours gets to be a bummer.

Yeah, honestly.

So, like, when we were going to do our driving trip from here to Chicago that we planned out and everything, I was like, When were you going to do that?

We're going to do it right when everything opened up after COVID.

We planned it out and did all the reservations and everything.

And

then everything started being wonky again with COVID, so we decided not to do it.

I hate a wonk.

It's a long drive, though.

I did that to move here from Chicago to LA.

Right.

And we were going to do a night for pleasure.

I have never done over five nights, I think.

I've never done a cross-country trip, like a drive, and that is a bucket list thing for me.

I would very much like to do that.

So, then, in terms of beach activities, what is better than playing in the ocean?

For me,

having a margarita and reading a book.

That's very interesting.

Yeah, I thought, like, laying under an

umbrella or something.

I feel like that for me is like being actually being in the ocean is a nine.

I do think being in the ocean is one of the best parts.

It might be a 10 for me, actually.

You know what I might say?

Is the 10?

I might have to when I go to the beach.

The 10 might have to, but man, I really drying off after, like, when you're like, when it's, you, you're cold in the water, then you come out and it's warm, and then it's like that perfect feeling.

Like when you let the sun dry, yeah.

Yeah, I do like that.

Yeah, I do like that.

And then what else did you ask about

movies and deaths?

Comedy movies when you were a kid, how many movies when I was a kid?

I think the Lemon Drop Kid is one of Bob Hope's most charming films and funny, but not his funniest.

So, and when you were a kid, it was up there, yeah, but it's great, but I would say like Road to Utopia is better.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I knew from the decades thing that it was on the high end from the way you guys answered.

Yeah, I loved the 2010s for me, especially 2016

through 2020, When things just got better and better.

No, but the 2010s were good because I had a TV show and

I was skinny.

Oh my God.

I look good.

Our healthcare system is broken in so many ways.

We have a healthcare system that's supposed to be taking care of people that is making it literally more difficult for people to put food on the table.

So, this season, we'll dive into the challenges headfirst while also thinking about how we can find a better way because we all deserve better.
