In short
“How Did This Get Made? Last Looks” episode reviewing the film Live Wire via listener corrections/omissions, plus a “Just Chat” segment with June Diane Raphael.
Guests (people featured)
Paul Scheer (host). June Diane Raphael (fills in for Jason). Nicole Byer and Rob Riggle are mentioned for a live event. Listener callers include Clinton (writer connection), Todd Fronauer (theme song credit), Mitch Kappa, Dr. Guts 1003, Ryan, John Steele, Jermaine, Anna (Auckland), and Sean McBee.
Guest backgrounds
June Diane Raphael is an actor/writer known for comedy; she discusses her Prime Video Legally Blonde prequel series Elle (she plays Eva Woods). Nicole Byer is a comedian/TV personality (mentioned as a guest at Del Close Marathon).
Key claims
The robot “Madonna” was added by another writer (not in Bart’s script); Bob Shea at New Line pushed for more robot scenes and for it to save the day, but the robot didn’t work in the fountain scene. “Here come the judge” line traces to Pigmeat Markham (with discussion of Pierce Brosnan’s delivery). Robot/“Madonna” bomb-material theory is questioned as anachronistic.
Notable examples
“glug, glug, glug” robot underwater idea; Pierce’s “lucky charm” photo booth photos taped to his ribcage; accent/dialect tour through Boston/Chicago/Bronx/Brooklyn; subtitles reading “woof, woof, woof” and “glug, glug, glug.”

2:5215 to 20 seconds is best. On today's episode, we got so much. It's a very special treat. The one and only Miss June Diane Raphael will be filling in for Jason on today's Just Chat. We will talk about travel bags. Yeah, surprising. You know what? We may lose Jason, but we're still talking about bags. Plus, June is going to tell us what she has been up to shooting her brand new series L, which is a Legally Blonde prequel series, which premieres July 1st. Plus, she'll even recommend some shows that she is currently loving. And as always, at the end of the show, we will reveal the movie that we're doing on next week's show.
3:33But before all of that, we will get to your corrections and omissions on Live Wire. If you happen to be in New York in June, well, come see me and Jason and a whole bunch of amazing improvisers, including Nicole Byer and Rob Riggle, at the Del Close Marathon. Dinosaur will be performing on July 12th and 13th. And if you buy a ticket for the entire festival, come out and see Match Game, a show that I've been hosting since the very first Del Close Marathon. It has been one of the wildest shows. Every year, Jack McBrayer is almost beaten up on stage as a contestant. It's in good fun and no one ever hurts him.
4:11Brooke Shields one year showed up and played herself. That was amazing. And we have had many other people come through Match Game 76. It is a late night show, but as we are getting older, it is now in the much more coveted 1130 slot. I think that or 12. Either way, it's more of an adult slot where we were doing that around 130 or 2 in the morning. anyway uh i also want to let you know that how did this get made is coming back to largo in los angeles on june 5th that's right june 5th you can come check out me and jason and how did this get made all-star for a brand new live show at largo plus black monday is on netflix don cheetle regina hall andrew rannells myself june diane rayfield and the list goes on and on it has been so fun to see people's reactions to this show.
5:06So many people didn't have showtime when we were airing this originally, and now people are finally able to watch. So thank you for watching Black Monday. And if you haven't gotten a chance to watch it, I think you'll really enjoy it. It's a joke a minute style show from one of the creators of Happy Endings. All right, that is all the plugs that I have for today. So let's get into it. Last week, we talked at length about LiveWire. We had questions. We might have even missed a few things. Here is your chance to set us straight. Fact check us, if you will. It is now time for corrections and omissions.
5:41It's corrections and omissions. Tell us what we thought about last week. Thank you, Todd Fronauer, for that theme song. Let's get into it, starting with Mitch Kappa. Okay, now Mitch wants to point out that when we were discussing the jokes in the movie, I cannot believe that they skipped over Pierce's delivery of the Here Come the Judge line. Yes, that line alone, he thinks, is what's stopping the movie from getting a remake. Well, if you don't remember that line, take a listen. He drank the water, sweat, shook, then boom, here come the judge. Pretty crazy, right? Like, he's definitely putting on a voice there.
6:30But this is, I think, just him not quite figuring out what he was trying to do here. Because the original line, here come the judge, is, I mean, it's been done many, many times here. Take a listen to Sammy Davis Jr. doing it on Laugh-In. You can testify, but you just can't win because I'm here to tell you you guilty as sin. Here comes the judge. Here comes the judge. Here comes the judge. Yeah, you see, I think Pierce put a lot more slant on it. So I think he's trying to do an impression. But the actual here come the judge wasn't even here come the judge. It was just here comes the judge. And that started in 1968 from a performer named Pigmeat Markham.
7:19Now, I do want you to hear just a second of the song because it's awesome. It's basically like early hip hop. Take a listen. Yeah, he, yeah, he's a cold up swing. It's just about ready to do that thing. I don't want no tears. I don't want no lies. Above all, I don't want no alibis. This judge is hip and that ain't all. He'll give you time if you're big or small. Fall in line of this coldest knee. Peace, brother. Whoa, here come the judge. Here come the judge. Everybody know that he is the judge. Isn't that amazing? I was totally blown away by that. So, yeah, I guess what Pierce did was take both of those kind of original thoughts and just really put, I don't know, a vocal blackface on it.
8:10But yeah, he really leaned into that. So here's what I'm going to say. First of all, I don't know how it went down this wormhole. But secondly, I'm glad that I did because I'm glad to know about Pig Meat Markham. That album is great. Anyway, let's keep on going. Sorry, I got fascinated. Dr. Guts 1003 writes, was the robot named Madonna because Madonna is the material girl and the robot's purpose was to test and analyze bomb material? Dr. Guts, if that is the reason, it feels like it's still about 12 years late, because I think this movie came out in 1991, and she was the material girl much earlier than that.
8:59But maybe, maybe, and maybe we'll find out the answer to that in just a second, because we're going to take a quick commercial break, And when we get back, we have a call from someone who spoke to the writer of LiveWire, and they got some very good dirt. All right, we'll be right back after this. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. You know, for me, summer is tricky. Travel's picking up. Kids are out of school. There's adventure on the horizon, but there's also just normal things to do. I mean, summer demands are tough and it can make you feel overwhelmed and you're just kind of sometimes counting down the minutes until the kids are back in school.

Okay, before the break, I did promise you that we are going to hear from the writer of LiveWire. And I wasn't lying. Our good friend Clinton told us a little story that he heard from the writer. Take it away, Clinton. Hey, Paul, longtime listener, big fan of the show. And I want to thank you so much for covering Live Wire.
13:56I'm calling you guys because I actually know the writer of this film. His name is Bart. He's a great guy. This was the first script he ever had produced. He was actually hired and fired and rehired on this film three or four times. and I wanted to fill you guys in on something you talked about. You talked a lot about the robot, Madonna. The robot was not part of Bart's script. Bart told me that that was another writer's contribution, but you know who loved the robot was Bob Shea at New Line. He told me that Bob was constantly talking about having more robot scenes and Bob wanted the robot to save the day at the end of the movie.
14:35And Bart would say to him, now I think Pierce, our hero, needs to save the day. and then he'd get fired and then he would get rehired, rinse and repeat. But anyways, the scene with the fountain, Bob wanted the robot in that scene, but the robot just wasn't working. And Bob Shea, I'm told, threw a huge fit and screamed, I want to see the fucking robot go underwater and go glug, glug, glug, glug. Anyways, thanks again for covering the film. Is it a great movie? No, but I always have a blast every time I watch it. Thanks so much for all you do. Take care. Glug, glug, glug. Oh, man. Bob Shea is awesome.
15:19I mean, if you don't know anything about Bob Shea, first of all, he is a guy that really is a high art, low art guy, right? He got behind great filmmakers. I mean, he was the, you know, the person who released the Nightmare on Elm Street films and Evil Dead. And then he was like, you know what? I think we could do this with comedy. And then was behind things like Dumb and Dumber and The Mask and Austin Powers, you know, like he really was this very smart guy who also knew that people wanted robots. And I'm going to tell you, I felt like this movie could have used more robots. I'm happy to know that the robot wasn't as big of a character in your friend's script.
16:07But I tend to agree. I think the robot should have had, if you introduce a robot in the first act, the robot has to save the day in the third act. That is what Alfred Hitchcock said. And I'm standing by it. Another interesting thing about Bob Shea, which again, this is called Paul Scheer going down wormholes. So basically in 1998, Peter Jackson was like, I want to make Lord of the Rings. He had this like 36 minute pitch reel for it. And Bob Shea was like, you know what? This is great. I don't think you should make one movie. You should make three films. He greenlit production for all three installments, and that has become the biggest movie in New Lines history.
16:53So Bob Shea, I'm going to say, yeah, maybe that robot shouldn't have said glug, glug, glug, but his instincts were kind of right in a lot of ways. Everything from like Rush Hour to Harold and Kumar and The Conjuring. So anyway, I'm sure that there are other people involved in these things as well. But I like it. I like that story a lot. And this movie is awesome. It's awesome. So thank you, Clinton, for sharing that with us. Now, I mean, I want to make a shirt that just says glug, glug, glug. I mean, I feel like that might be a retroactive shirt. We may have to put that out there. Let us know.
17:38Anna from Auckland, New Zealand, what do you got? I just want us to take a minute to appreciate the heroic and bonkers road trip through Midwest and Northeast America that Pierce Brosnan's accent took us on. It started somewhere around Boston, and then it toured through Chicago, the Bronx, New Jersey, got lost in Western Massachusetts, then took a hard turn through Brooklyn and Queens, and then somehow made it back to Boston. I guess they spent the dialect coach budget on squibs and the intimacy coordinator budget on Ron Silva's hair. Yes, yes. Finally, someone calls it out. I am no good with accents, but I definitely knew it was floating around.
18:21I couldn't quite grab it. It was like running like the cops were on its tail, right? They were just trying to get diplomatic immunity or extradition to a different country. That accent is tricky. And I am much more down with the movies where it's like Arnold Schwarzenegger plays like a Border Patrol agent. He is hardcore, you know, in his own voice, not trying to be like, oh, yeah, I grew up here. No, you didn't. We don't care. We are on board. Don't try to hide it. Just do what you got. All right. And finally, let's go to Jermaine. Hey, Paul. Long, long time listener since the beginning. And I usually don't call in, but then I was watching Livewire.
19:03And the first thing I thought after I realized what the murdering agent was where they drink something and it turns into a bomb and they explode is that how did they make it without a taste? because it would at least need to taste like water or at least not be trackable when somebody drinks it and thinks they drank something wrong. So how do you even test something like that? You have to test it with something with taste buds, like I guess a monkey or something. But, like, they're not going to talk to you and say, yeah, this tastes sour and then explode and then you get another eight. Like, you have to test out the idea of even putting something like this as a drinkable substance that could be substituted with water.
19:46So like, it's impossible. All right. Love the show. Okay. Hold on a second. Jermaine, you almost broke my brain here because I was like, wait, what is he talking about? And then I realized what you mean is right. They wouldn't know that this was flavorless unless they were able to test it. But I will say the way that they were killing scientists leads me to believe that they definitely did try it on people. But I guess they would be like struggling for their life. And how would you even test it? Because I imagine if you're anywhere near it while you're testing it, you also would be dead. Jermaine, probably the most astute thing that I've heard about this movie.
20:26Like, yeah, it would taste like something. If it didn't, how do we know? And I like the idea that you could have tested it on like animals, but animals couldn't tell them what it tasted like. I'm sure you gave, you know, a monkey a sprite. They would be like, maybe they make a face. I don't know. Have you guys watched those videos of dogs eating lemons? again get on it people dogs eating lemon videos are great we tried to make our dog do it and he was like no i'm not i'm not here for your amusement i'm not eating this lemon all right back to the discord ryan says says just a slight correction to the pod saying that pierce did live wire a year after mrs doubtfire and a year before playing james bond brosden actually starred in this right after Lawnmower Man and right before Mrs.
21:12Doubtfire and three years before Goldeneye. You know what, Ryan? I realized I misread my notes and I was like, I can't go back. And I'm glad that you got me back to my truthful center. Thank you, Ryan. These are great. Everybody is hitting it out of the park this week. Now, John Steele writes, on occasion, I put subtitles on while watching movies and usually someone is speaking. It says like, you know, in Russian, the subtitles will simply say speaking Russian. However, the flashback scene of Pierce's daughter drowning, when the dog was barking, the subtitles read, woof, woof, woof. It even accounted for the correct number of barks.
21:53I thought I'd share this very weird detail. John, God bless you. God bless you for bringing up a very important thing. Woof, woof, woof, glug, glug, glug. That's our shirt. Oh, my God. I guess maybe instead of dog barking, the woof, woof, woof maybe seems more extreme. Like we are letting you know the dog is still barking and he's not listening. Or maybe it's a more damning portrait of him being a disinterested dad. I don't know. Now, Dr. Guts, back again. What do you got? Two in one episode. uh one moment not discussed was when pierce successfully diffuses the first car bomb he removes his shirt and is revealed that he has a strip of photo booth photos of him his wife and his kid taped to his rib cage and claims it was his lucky charm is taping them to your body really the best way to carry those photos i mean surely any one of the many pockets on his clothes would have sufficed.
22:56First of all, I don't remember this at all. And maybe because it's such an early part of the film. You know, when I was growing up and I was in Catholic school, I wore like a special, I don't even know what you call it. It was almost like a trading card, but it was much smaller. And it was like on a black rope. And I wore that. And I guess the idea was like that you would have like protection. And then I started being like, why am I wearing this? And they stopped wearing it. I guess I ought to also say the sweat would make the, it would run. The photos would look really shitty very quickly. I mean, they should be in some sort of plastic protective wrap.
23:29And, uh, and I think whenever the only photo you have is just a photo booth photo, why don't you just cut one at a time, right? Cause then you could just kind of, you know, keep one over your nipple. And then when that one kind of gets all washed out, another one goes on you. Why, why waste all now? I hate to say this because you all brought your a game, but I did save the best for last. Sean McBee writes,
24:20reconciliation in the tub. Then it brought destruction to Danny's professional and personal enemies in a single stroke. Then a year later, it comes full circle and becomes a harbinger of life because he isn't told your wife went into labor. He's told his wife's water broke. Thus, what was lost has been returned to him, dot, dot, dot, sorta. Wow. Can we just sit in that for a second? Wow. Sean, masterful work. Masterful work here, buddy. Whoa, you've now blown my mind.

26:53Great Steven Seagal story that I once heard is that when he was maybe we'll edit this out or maybe not, who cares You mean Russian citizen Steven Seagal? I meant a blues artist, Steven Seagal He was doing ADR which you have to like, when you have to match your voice to a movie and they're like, hey Steven we kind of lost that last word, can you say it again? and he said, what? and he opened up his kimono to reveal a gun and Kai's like, we don't have to do another take of it but like he revealed a gun like he was going to shoot the sound editor for asking him, that's what he was there to do you're an engineer in an ADR booth in Hollywood and someone pulls a gun out that reminds me of another Steven Seagal story he was sitting at his desk i think it was at paramount at the time and he's got his feet up on the desk and he's reading the script and his gun is on the desk next to him and the producer walks in and steven seagal is weeping and he says the producer's like what's going on are you okay he's like i just read the most beautiful script i've ever read and he's like oh wow who wrote he goes i did it's the best that's the best oh my god and now here's my no i don't think i've ever seen a steven seagal movie i barely know who he is they're amazing the four of us need to reconnect for steven seagal oh my god marked for death we've got to do it and like when he gets older he won't even get out of his chair for a fight scene.
28:46He'll just sit in his chair and kick. Like Liza Minnelli? What do you mean? My friend was an AD on the movie. They had choreographed this big fight sequence, and they get to the set, and they're like, Stephen, this is the whole thing. They're going to come over to the table. You're going to get up. You're going to throw him over the table, and this guy's going to come. You're going to throw him over here. Then you're going to break the table, and you're going to pull this guy from behind you. He's like, all right, yeah, yeah. what if I just do this? Punch one person one way while not moving. And punch the other way.

So now is the part of the show where I tell you that every Tuesday we re-release classic How Did This Get Made episodes back into our feed. This week's classic episode was Lawn Mower Man 2 Beyond Cyberspace.
31:45And next week's classic re-release will be our episode on the Mark Wahlberg music drama Rockstar. So keep on checking out all of our replays of classic episodes every Tuesday. Now, without any further ado, it is time for a rare chat with my lovely wife, Miss June Diane Raphael. John Astonish, play us in. Jason and Paul. Just chat. June and Paul. Just chat. Paul John Shearer. Just chat. How did this get made? Last looks. Just chat. Welcome, June. Filling in for Jason this week. Always a pleasure when you stop by. I love it here. I really do. This is, sometimes I wish this is what we could do instead of watching the movies.
32:28This is the most fun part. I know. You just like the hang. And you know what? I gotta be honest. I like talking as well. I like talking. I like talking to you. And we we talk a lot of the times. I would say a majority of our talking is done off microphone, which, you know, look, if we could monetize just our normal conversations. What a dream. That's that's actually what the deep dive is basically just talking and monetizing regular conversations and hangs. Well, I'm glad that you're honest about it. And, you know, and look, you can feel very comfortable to come here and just hang with us because Jason and I, all we do is talk about stuff that we like and that we love and that we're into.
33:12And I know that you have been away. Everybody knows you've been away. You have not been at some of our live shows. People have missed you. You missed some fun fill-ins. And I will say, I know I said, oh, I don't want to talk about the movies and stuff. I really am kidding. I love doing our live shows. I feel like I haven't done a live show in forever. I miss it so much. Our first live show, Live Wire, was our first live show in five months. That's crazy. I know. I know. It's been kind of nuts. We have to get back on the road. We have not been together. But part of that is because you are working on Elle, which is a brand new show coming out this July on Amazon.
33:53I don't know if people even know what this is. You want to tell people what it is? Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah. So, yeah, get psyched. Get excited. So Elle is the Legally Blonde prequel series, and it will launch on Prime Video. Worldwide? I don't know. I think so. All right. I'm just hoping it's worldwide. I'm assuming. I don't know. I don't know how that all breaks out. I'll talk to Pitbull because he's Mr. Worldwide and I'll make sure that it does get out. Thank you. So, yeah, it comes out on July 1st. And this is the prequel series to Legally Blonde. It's Elle Woods in 1995 in high school. And I play her mom, Eva Woods.
34:39Yes. Now, notably, Mom not really featured or just featured very briefly in the Legally Blonde movie. Are you basing your character on that moment that we because I think the mom's in like one scene? Have you done the work study? Have you reached out to that actor? Is it like you have you gone deep? I mean, listen, the movie is so perfect and meant so much to me when I saw it and still means so much to me. It's just such a beautiful. It was so crazy to think back on that time where it's like, oh, the concept of being into hair and fashion and wearing pink, you know, meant you like weren't taken seriously as a lawyer.
35:22It seems so absurd, but of course that's still something that women combat every day. But anyway, yeah, so the movie meant so much to me. I think what's so cool about the series is it takes the original material and also, you know, gives us the space. It's an hour long to really explore these characters in brand new ways. So there's so many wonderful nods to the movie. And we are also, you know, able to really extrapolate. I will say this. I've seen a little bit of it not actual finished footage but I've heard dialogue I've seen and I've heard stories Oh so you think you've seen it because you heard me run my lines?
36:02I've heard you run your lines You feel like you saw early cuts? And I got to meet some of the cast, the lovely cast I'm putting it together I'm putting it together I was on set So I know a couple things I'm very very excited for it July 1st is when it comes out worldwide or at least in your neck of the woods. I'm going to say, now you are shooting away in Canada. People know that you are away. What have you been filling your time with besides working and besides monetizing conversations with you and Jessica St. Clair on the deep dive? Well, you know, I know you guys like to talk about, I know you and Jason consider yourselves like the travel guys.
36:44Like you like to talk about your bags. We like bags, yeah. You like bags. men in their bags that's our next podcast what is it it's like there's something there if i were i bought two bags in the last month i know but it's there's something there about i i guess i'm just wondering it's like are you both trying to get just get ready to go to leave i think to be on the go what are you preparing for with all those well i'll say the way that you just talked about Elle Woods and, you know, having, you know, a certain attitude would make you not be taken seriously. Right. I think that men have been forced into this world where they can't have a purse.
37:28And I think that bags are men purses. We have stuff. We need to carry our stuff. And, you know, I don't want to have these bulky ass pants. I don't want to be, you know, I remember Like, I remember my dad's pants. You could see an outline of a wallet in like the back pocket. Yeah, it was a permanent outline. Like, we don't need that. Wow. Well, I'm so happy now that I know you need your bags for stuff and that it's because you were you're denied purses. I mean, I am, you know, really I've been traveling so much that some things happened where I for a long time I was on a side quest. You don't even know about this.
38:10There's so much I keep from you. I know. Yeah. I was too tired to tell me. A lot of the times you're just too tired. You'll often say to me, I can't wait to tell you this thing. And sometimes I realize you never tell it that you've never told me the thing. I go, just wait, just wait. And it's, it's like, uh, it's like a show that gets canceled. I'm like, I never knew what happened there. And then I asked you and I said, Hey, what happened that day? I forgot. Well, you know, what am I going to say? I'm going through hormonal changes. I forget things. But here's the thing. You have to understand, too.
38:44And I spoke to Nick Kroll about it this morning. We talked about you. And I said, he said, how does Paul have so much energy? And I said, I don't know. And a part of the reason why I think I have to go into shutdown mode is because you have so much energy. You think that I'm energy vampiring you? No, but there are times at a certain point in the day it's like, no, I can't talk anymore, buddy. I can't talk. See, I think I would like that idea, but I am not comfortable in putting that on somebody else. Like I would feel too uncomfortable being like, well, now I am done talking. Like, if you want to talk, I'll be like, I'm going to talk to you because you want to talk.
39:24I'd like to be there for you. There are moments. And, you know, oftentimes you'll text me and go, why are you sitting in your car a block away from the house? And those are those moments. Yeah. Well, I know you track me. And maybe you let people know what that's all about. Well, no, I have your location. But you not just track me. I track many people. Okay. And I have. Well, I actually think it's more important to know about the people who refuse to be tracked. And I know we have a close friend. I mean, you have a close friend. Well, I won't name her, but she won't give me her location. I find that suspect.
40:03and one of my family members, my flesh and blood. Wow. You see, now I try to track you and I just get a general vicinity. I don't often know exactly, like whenever our tracking is off, but you're able to pinpoint me down to sometimes a block. I know exactly where you are, honey. You'd be shocked at how many times I open up my phone to look at where you are. Wow. Look at that. I feel honored. I've always got eyes on you. So, yeah, I do find you a block away. I mean, when I saw you a block away for one time was like hours and you were sitting in your car. I mean, this is this is just like I was really like, what on earth is he doing in there?
40:42Well, I knew that I had some things that I needed to do that would take me out of being home. And then I would be home, but I wouldn't be present. So I decided, let me just do my. I actually appreciated that. Right. Yeah. No, I think the home is a sacred space and you should come in here and be, you know, free of all, try to leave the rest of the world outside. All of this is to say I have been back, just back to bags. I have been traveling a lot. You haven't been tracking where, but I've been traveling. And I have on one of my side quests has been to find the perfect carry on back. Well, but you never ask me my opinions.
41:27you never and and and sometimes you'll because you're because you're a man you couldn't know what i need from oh i mean well your your suitcase is not a female suitcase i would say that you know this kind of gender me yes i brought myself a to me folks you talking my to me by the way you know that was what was told to me by my first manager when i got into the biz he's like we play our cards right they're gonna start bringing around the to me and i was like what well to me i didn't even know what that was and and to me to be like my success would be having a nice bag was so far from i mean it's still right now i'm buying bags from places that you don't even you've never heard of like i'm not buying a note to me i'm i'm on like a portland guy's website i'm on uh i'm on backpack blogs.
42:22But I get the idea that a Tumi would be the end-all be-all for, like, I was like, yeah. I'm just talking, yeah, that's really funny. Well, I had seen this Tumi and I actually, there was a lot of functionality that I was interested in. It wasn't about getting the name Tumi, although did I monogram it? Yes. But I love that Tumi and that Tumi is expandable And that to me has been around for a while and it's done me right. Now, do you get in trouble with that to me? Oh, yeah. I've gotten in trouble a few times for expanding it. And I've had to like sit on it. I've had to have both you and I sit on it.
43:01The whole family's been sitting on it. Yeah. You sometimes even like try to like get me to put it up instead of you. So then I get in trouble sometimes. Sometimes, you know, there are moments, you know. Well, you like to say, oh, it's not going to go in. And then I'm like, did you try? Did you try? Now, I this this is I'm actually really glad we're talking about this because, you know, Jessica Sinclair's always said Sinclair's don't check. And I was always someone who checked. Now, I guess probably about two years ago, maybe during I'm not sure when the transition happened for me. Yeah. I no longer check.
43:39And you said it and you made a rule for our family. And I will say, I'm going to be very honest right here and say that is one of the best family rules that anyone in our family has instituted. I love it. And I curse you for it. I know. Raphael Shears, don't check. It's a part of our identity. We went to Europe and we did not check. Over two weeks. Over two weeks. Now I have different bags to help accommodate that. I've gotten the Ziploc bags and Jason talks about his kind of thing. But you you have really started something. And and to your credit, we have followed through as a family. I'm very impressed.
44:22I'm very, very impressed. Thank you, honey. Yeah. I mean, listen, there were years when the kids were little with strollers and car seat. You didn't have a choice. So it's like we could only start doing this when we could start doing this. And it does feel like I used to think when I was someone who who did check, I used to think like oh people who don't check and travel light think they're so fucking great they're so like they walk around was such a superiority complex like they've done something morally better than i hate it i hate and i hated that attitude i hated that because i want to bring dinner clothes that are totally separate and won't transition from dead shoes are the killer for me i know i know but now that i'm on the other side right i do feel superior i do feel we're better There's something nice about knowing that you have it with you.
45:11Now, I will say that in the moments where I don't bring a bag or I'm going away for a longer time, sometimes you have to check. Like when you went to— Okay, yes, then I had to check. Right. I mean, look, there will always be a moment like that. Sure, sure, sure, sure. But for the most part, yeah, I was going away back and forth for five months. I brought a suitcase to Canada with me and I checked it. Fine. But for the most part, you're not going to find me checking. Oh, I'm not trying to poke a hole in what you're saying. I'm just saying, but when you do check, I actually feel what I was gonna say was a little naked.
45:42I was gonna be like, oh, where is it? Like now I get like nervous. Like what happened? Did I leave something? I'm not used to traveling. Now that's our son. Oh, well, yeah. I mean, I went on tour with our two children last spring break. You were away shooting season one of Elle. Right now you're shooting season two. Congratulations. Thank you. And day one, first day of the trip, I'm on it. We're up. We're at the airport. We're eating breakfast. Everyone's got their jackets. Everyone's got their one carry-on. We got iPads charged. Everything is perfect, ready to go. We get online. We get into the plane.
46:22We get there. And then my son looks at me and goes, I don't have my bag. And, you know, there's just a moment where you're like, no matter how good you've been. So plaintively. Yeah, don't have my bag. I'm like, what do you mean? Those are the facts. Don't have them. You interpret them as you will. You react as you will. Don't have them. The facts are a bag, not with me. A bag, I don't have. Now, I also have never exited a plane after I've boarded a plane. Right? So I wasn't on the jetway. I was in my seat. Oh, God, man. And here's the thing that was crazy to me is to prevent this, I had put their backpacks around the handle.
47:09The back. And by the way, we're talking about a 10-year-old. We're not talking about like a five-year-old, six-year-old. We're talking about a 10-year-old. So you'd have to take the backpack off the bag to then leave the bag. Whenever I'm nervous about stuff, I lay stuff on top of each other so I won't forget. Like when I'm leaving for the airport, I have all my things together so I don't put them in different spots. I had to get off and I will tell you that you know you always say that if our child is lost look for a woman talk to a woman instead of a man and I say that to the children yeah I wasn't gonna say that I took that advice but what I will say was uh was that uh the women uh on that flight got it they were like been there done that go out get that bag come back Like, no problem.
47:54Like, I thought it was going to be. And that's on being a woman. And amen. And I will say that the women looked out for me there. I was able to run back right to the same exact table where we were exactly at. The bag was sitting there hilariously just like, hey, I got it, ran back on. And I was sweating. I was sweating like a pig. And it was like that whole relaxed morning. We just went out the window. Of course. Immediately. Well, I also, if you remember when we were, I don't remember where we were coming from, but we were in some airport connecting and we were all together. And then like I was with our younger son and I went into a little like Hudson News to get some sundries.
48:37And lo and behold, I see our other son's suitcase. Yeah. Just literally, not him, not you. Yeah. Just the suitcase sitting by the beef jerky. And I was absolutely stunned. Now I sat there and I said, Sam, let's wait and see how long it takes him to come back. Now we waited, we waited, we waited. Finally, Sam was like, I'm going to go to the gate and find them. I said, okay. That's our other song. I waited, I waited, I waited. He never came back. Never came back. And then you and I started like making eyes because I let him leave it there. That was part of my first. No, you didn't. You didn't let him leave it there.
49:14I didn't? I thought the first part was me tricking him. Not me tricking him, but me going, learn your lesson. I thought. I think maybe you realize. No, no. Okay. I don't think so, but I don't really remember. But it was such a shock to see it there. But anyway. And then you and I basically hid it from him until. To see it when he would notice, and he never did. And then when he did, he blamed it on his little brother. And wasn't upset at all. Was like, yeah, yeah, I guess. I mean, he was more of the one. He was like, what? He was like, okay, and what do you want me to do about it now? Oh, God, it's so shocking.
49:50But here's what I'm going to say. So for many, many years, you don't even know this about me. I'm a stranger to you. I've been on a side quest to find the perfect carry-on bag. Now, I don't know if you've noticed. I've been through many. I have. And part of me feels like I'm always waiting for you to go, Paul, what have you found? But never. Okay, go ahead. Because yours are too masculine. I got you. I got you. Okay. So I finally have found something that, boy, when it when it slides onto the handlebars of your suitcase. What do you got? It's. I don't know the name of it. All right, because I just don't know the name of it.
50:31I'll find it and hopefully we can post it in the show notes. OK, we will. But I saw it on like TikTok or something. All the girlies, all the travel girlies were getting it. And I thought, is this really what? And it is. Slides onto the. perfect. I like the texture of it. Soft, soft, everything there. Shoe compartment, never use it, but it's there, you know, but mainly I like the size. I like how it feels when I'm rolling around the suitcase and always find everything in there. I'm very happy that you said this because I recently also found an over the handle suitcase because that, that has been the trick.
51:08And I've Notice that that is where I have been failing in my airport travel. The over the handle when you're traveling with a carry-on, when you're a carry-on family, that makes a very big difference. Oh, there's no other way. That's the whole thing. Paul, there's no other way. Well, now this is the first time I've ever embraced that. And I have to say, I'm actually like, wow, we're going to air some stuff out. I have to say, I've seen you with a suitcase and then a duffel. Yeah, of course. A thin duffel. Yeah. And I've been like, what is this fucking chaos? And I've bit my tongue. Why? Because you look a fool.
51:51Really? There's no way to manage that. A duffel? You know, and this is the problem, though. I need that duffel because I need to get more stuff. Sometimes, sometimes, and you know this is true. The duffel's not even zipped all the way. I know that to be true. You know that to be true. But I'm carrying cords. I'm carrying toiletries. You know, I'm carrying another pair of shoes. We all are. We're all carrying things. But it looks crazy to me. And to see you both wheel a little rolly and also the other side of your body carry a half unzipped duffel. Yeah. I mean, look, I'm not proud. I'm not proud of it, but I am.
52:41So now do you understand why I haven't exactly been like knocking down your door to find out your Rex? Well, that's, first of all, that is a very specific to longer travel pitches. Like I don't bring out that duffel often. I really don't. Okay. Well, duffel aside, I had found something that really was, and still there's nothing, it's great. It's the best one I've ever had. And I'm in an interesting position right now. Right. Because I have been traveling so much once a week, and that is also coming with me to set and to work, that bag, I've turned on it. I can't stomach it. I can't look at it.
53:30Looking at this bag, thinking about it, is actually making me nauseous. Wow. So you really that because you're using it too much. Using it too much. So right now what I'm in the market for, because I did buy a bag. This is a cheapie. OK, got it. This isn't going to be my hero bag. This is a dopamine hit. This is like I just my eyes need to feast on something fucking else. OK, but what I do need for it, because it doesn't have the slide in option is I need to get I got to do it today. one of those sort of adapters that you can put on your handle to make anything stay? Well, if you're talking about a Clipsta, then let's talk about it.
54:14Because a Clipsta... You're talking about a Clipsta. A Clipsta is... I didn't know I was talking about a Clipsta. I'm talking about the Flex Clip by Clipsta. The Flex Clip by Clipsta. Yeah. The Flex Clip. Flex Clip. By Clipsta. By Clipsta. I'm going to show it to you because I just bought one. one of these days. I'll show you how it works. For$29.95? Yeah. Now, this is holding a woman's hat. I like that. You could do bags. Look at this woman over here. I mean, we're looking at a website together. Look at this woman in a way bag. It's like she's holding three bags with this clip stuff. Hold on.
54:49Can you share screen? Sure. Hold on one second. So I'm looking at this. Yeah, that's nice. Right? It's simple. It's easy. We're boom, boom, boom. We're popping on bags. We're popping on things. Now, the thing that I am deeply troubled by is that if you scroll all the way down to the you may also like section. Okay. In which there's a product called Spex Clips where people are clipping this onto their shirts. Don't like this. Listeners, they're clipping a clip onto their shirt. Basically, it's like a magnet that one side would be on, like, you'd have to put one side behind your shirt, one side on the front of your shirt, and that's a magnet.
55:32Yes, and they're nice. The texture looks really nice. It looks like silicone, but, like, very nice texture. But you can just slip your glasses in there. And then it also... Who the hell are you feeling? Because I would see you walking around with one of these. No fucking way, babe. I could see you do this. And then it also comes in, like, a lot of comfort colors. But you put your... Who needs to wear... By the way, I need this. I know. I need this. I know that's what I was going to say. Like, I'm not saying that you're wearing this out to like a fancy party. No, but I need it bad. I can't find any of my glasses ever.
56:02I mean, we're really selling Clipsta. I need this. And we're not like the Clipsta is really going to do a lot of work for you because it is holding a lot of this stuff together. Look at the water bottle attached to the side of the bag like that. That's really nice. Anyway, this is the phone attached. Yeah. Oh, man. I need everything here. I need everything. thing. Well, okay. So I think what I think what I'm struggling with is just, um, I just need something new for my eyes to feast upon. All right. Well, we'll let people hit you up with their, their other ideas. And obviously we just did a giant ad for clips to a company that pays us zero money.
56:43And we're talking about monetizing our conversations. We should have been able to knock this out. Now, June, I will say this, you've been reading books. Do you want to just recommend books, TV shows. Just give me a quick list of the three things that you're enjoying and three things you're watching. Don't be such a, I hate my biggest fear of going on podcasts is this is when someone's like, give me your top five. Okay. List five things in five seconds. I'm like, Jesus. I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to put you under the gun. I'm just saying if you wanted to, cause I know that you have been, I wouldn't set you up for this.
57:12If you, if you haven't been. Okay. Let me think for a second. First of all, I do want to talk about, I don't know if you can announce this yet because I don't know if it's been in deadline, but you are doing a spinoff from the pit of Baby Jane Doe. You're taking Baby Jane Doe from the pit. What's the status of Baby Jane Doe? What's the status of Baby Jane Doe? And that's going to be kind of exploring that character. Baby Jane Doe taking a bottle? The pit is high up on your list. Oh, I love it. And I love it for so many reasons. I think that one of the reasons I love it is because I have found it to be very healing.
57:47I think for a lot of, well, I don't know how other people feel. For me, having spent so much time in the ICU, having spent so much time in like critical parts of the hospital experience with both my mom and my dad, you know, there's things I look back on. And first of all, you're so traumatized. I mean, there's a great line in the show about being with people during, you know, the worst, literally the worst day of their lives, right? Interacting with people, being with them and trying to help them. The pit to me has, because I have had such hospital trauma and what has weighed on me is thinking, could things have been different?
58:29Was the care, you know, what it should have been? Did the outcomes, did the care affect the outcome, you know, you can't help but to ask yourself some of those questions. Watching the pit has been very healing because it has really made me realize, like, our health care system, the system is so deeply flawed. The system might have changed outcomes. Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to know. Got it. But the people, most people, of course, there's exceptions. Most people are working, who are working in health care, are working in a fucking flawed system and trying to do the best they can. And most people who get into this, most people who are nurses and doctors and, you know, emergency workers, medical workers, most of them are trying to do the best they can for positive outcomes.
59:40And that is really like the show watching it has been really healing because they are up against so much that's flawed. So the pit is high on my list for those reasons. And you've also been reading a bunch of different books. Anyone that you would recommend out? Hmm. You know, it's late, but I really love Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. I mean, it's been out for a while, but I just read it recently. I recommended it when we read it together. Oh, you did? You already recommended it? I did. I love that book. What else have I been reading? Well, you read that Belle Bree? Is that her name? I always forget.
1:00:20Belle Burden, I think. Belle Burden. Strangers. Yes, I read that. That's getting a lot of publicity right now. And I liked it. And, you know, it's scary. I think that that book is scary because it makes you wonder, like, how much you know about people and what are people capable of. The most fascinating part of that book, and for those who don't know anything about it, even though she's done so much press, there's a—this woman is pretty happily married until one day when she finds out her husband's having an affair, been having an affair, and then he abruptly leaves her and their three children.
1:00:58Well, I thought it was an inch. I really enjoyed the book and it was a fascinating journey into something that's so kind of personal and wrestling with like that of being left. And I think what was I was like still like, what's that reason? And the book doesn't really tell you what the reason is. It kind of just lets you live in that. unsureness, but I did think that the chapter she just wrote, I guess it was an addendum that was in the New York Times about it was about she never asked about his bag preferences.
1:01:33Well, you always find a way to blame the woman. I guess it is her fault after all.
1:01:42um june i love doing this with you it's always such a pleasure to get to talk to you to see what's on your mind what's up i would never have guessed that bags were on your mind and i love that this theory about the pit what front of mind front of mind and and i also think that ties into some of the things that you watch online that i think i have a hard time with on TikTok. I know you watch a lot of death doulas and things like that. And that also gives me a different perspective on why you're watching it. Oh, yeah. I mean, death doulas, I follow, I'll be a little more specific, a number of hospice nurses.
1:02:21Got it. And hospice, well, yeah, hospice nurses, both of them are RNs. And they have some fascinating insight into that process because they've they've borne witness to so many people dying and there are a lot of common themes and uh you know it's it's and obviously hospice is like a very natural way to that they really let the body do what the body needs to do while keeping people comfortable and so it's it's really been incredibly comforting i will actually recommend them to anyone hospice Nurse Julie, to anyone who's kind of fraught with grief, I have found it very comforting. And even just knowing, you know, we all are going to be struggling or are struggling with our own mortality.
1:03:10It's it's it gives me a lot of comfort. I love it. Top five months go. I'd say my top My top month is June And I know that sounds really because School's out in summer's beginning Got it And then I would say November comes Actually you know what switch November's my top month Because Thanksgiving's my favorite holiday And then December I can't believe I said June first Then December because obviously Christmas Then October and then September and then June. Wow, June really moved to the back of the line. But still in the top five. Of course, in top five. I don't know what happened. If I'm being totally honest, I had a second to think.
1:04:00That's why I don't like top fives. I say the wrong thing. And forever got that right on CalShe. You just won. Wow, there's a lot of money. So a lot of people have been betting on that on CalShe. Wow. Yeah, so that just came in big for somebody. somebody who came in really really big there uh so he's made how did this get made a listener into a multi-millionaire june deep dive is out every week you can listen wherever you get your podcast uh you can sign up for premium deep dive experiences you can watch uh l worldwide in july and hopefully uh we will you are obviously uh doing uh in-house episodes of how this game maybe We hope we'll get you out on the road or even bring the show to Vancouver again, which is so much fun.

And it's all the creators of Big Mouth. And it's really, really wonderful. What's the premise? The premise. Well, it's about a cast of forest critters. Okay. And we're all trying to find love. So it's about a bunch of animals who are looking to get into a relationship. I like that. Yeah. And again, I've heard you do some lines from that. Sneak peek. God, it's like you've been like every time I think you're just passing by. I didn't know you were doing a first look.

1:06:09We'll be watching a 1998 action comedy, The Big Hit, starring Mark Wahlberg, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Christina Applegate. IMDb describes it as a socially anxious hitman. Melvin Spiley goes on a job, falls in love with this kidnapping victim, turning his world upside down. Rotten Tomatoes gives this film a 41 % on the tomato meter. And John Paul Powell from Jam Movie says, GQ model type sweating it up in a high caliber weapons fired indiscriminately, toned babes in skin-tight clothing, and Marky Mark breakdances in a gunfight. What more could you ask for? And I gotta say, Paul, you are right.
1:06:45From a Paul to a Paul, this movie was a wild ride and something that truly captures the spirit of 97, 98, unlike any other film I've ever seen. Take a listen to the trailer. In this line of work, I'm a contract killer. A little overtime. This is the girl? No, it's your mammy. There has been an unauthorized kidnapping. Can kill you.
