You're

listening

0:08

to

0:11

Comedy

0:14

Central.

0:41

Who fucking cares?

0:43

Let's get into

0:45

it with another

0:48

installment of

0:51

trade wars. Last

0:53

Wednesday, Donald Trump

0:56

announced that in one week he

0:58

was going to impose the biggest

1:00

increase in tariffs in a hundred

1:02

years. And after a week of

1:04

panic buying a year's supply of

1:07

toilet paper and airfriars, the day

1:09

has finally arrived. It is 1159

1:11

and 48 seconds, which means we

1:13

are just moments away from the

1:15

president's new tariffs. It's President Trump's

1:17

long-awaited tariff day. It's

1:20

reciprocal tariff day. Well, the tariffs

1:22

are here. All right, it is tariff day.

1:33

placing June teeth with. Now Trump

1:36

is celebrated by putting tariffs on

1:38

every country in the world including

1:40

a hundred and four percent on

1:42

products made in China which is

1:45

probably fine I mean how many

1:47

products are made in China. But

1:49

tariff day wasn't just celebrated here

1:52

in America other countries got in

1:54

on the fun too. Swift retaliation

1:57

both China and the European

1:59

Union are responding to

2:01

President Trump's tariffs. China

2:04

has announced its own

2:06

retaliatory tariffs, 84% on

2:08

all US goods it

2:11

imports. According to the

2:13

European Union, almonds, orange

2:15

juice, poultry, soybeans, steel,

2:17

and aluminum products, tobacco,

2:20

and yachts imported from

2:22

the United States now will

2:24

have a 25% levy on them. Why

2:26

do these trade wars always have to

2:28

screw over the little guy? I'll be

2:30

honest, I didn't even know America made

2:33

yachts. I thought the only thing we

2:35

made here was Nepo babies. But this

2:37

really feels like it's spiraling out of

2:39

control. It seems like the smart move

2:41

is to back off this whole thing,

2:43

but Trump's team has been adamant that

2:46

they will stay the course. This is

2:48

not a negotiation. It's not the

2:50

kind of thing you can negotiate

2:52

away. I don't think there's any

2:54

chance that President Trump's gonna

2:56

back off his tariffs. The

2:58

president made it clear yesterday

3:00

this is not a negotiation.

3:02

Trump posted this morning, my policies

3:05

will never change. Well, that's it

3:07

then. They're in it to win

3:09

it. Full speed ahead from the

3:11

window to the walls. Skate, skate, skate,

3:13

skate, motherfers. Trump's policy will

3:16

never, ever change. This

3:18

is CNN breaking news.

3:20

The president announced just

3:22

minutes ago that he's

3:24

now quote authorized a

3:27

90-day pause on some of

3:29

his new tariffs. What? The trade

3:31

war is over? But it's

3:33

tariff day. I shaved my

3:35

legs for this. Now I

3:37

have to grow it all

3:39

back. But hey, at least

3:41

we can buy things from

3:43

China again, right? Amazon prime

3:45

here. Notably, though,

3:48

the president is raising the

3:50

tariff applied to China from

3:52

the United States to 125%

3:54

effective immediately. So this

3:56

pause applies to other

3:58

countries, not China. Hey,

4:01

Siri, cancel 1,000 airfriars? Trump,

4:03

I don't understand what happened

4:05

here. You tanked global stock markets.

4:08

You put us on the verge

4:10

of a recession. You told everyone

4:12

to build factories in America because

4:14

the terrorists wouldn't go away. And

4:16

then you took them away. What

4:18

happened? Did you just get spooked

4:20

by the markets? The 90-day call

4:22

is when there was a computerist.

4:24

It's not because of my class

4:26

that we could see across the

4:28

financial market. No, this was his

4:30

strategy all along. Absolutely. Brilliant move.

4:32

Not only economically, politically, it was

4:35

good for the American worker. He's

4:37

negotiator-in-chief. He's landing the plane. It's

4:39

the master of the deal. I

4:42

mean, you're watching the art of

4:44

the deal in real time here.

4:46

Many of you in the media clearly

4:48

missed the art of the art of the deal.

4:53

the art of the deal, create

4:55

a global crisis and then dig

4:57

yourself halfway out. It's truly masterful,

4:59

Donald. I'm starting to think that

5:01

the art of the deal is

5:03

art in the way that Jackson

5:05

Pollock is art. Like, it looks

5:07

like someone just threw a bunch

5:10

of shit at the wall, but

5:12

now I have to pretend like

5:14

it's genius and it's going to

5:16

cost millions of dollars. Come

5:18

at me, abstract expressionism hive.

5:20

You know I'm right. Come

5:24

on Trump, just admit that you started

5:26

a game of chicken and you got

5:29

too scared to finish it. Well, I

5:31

thought that people were jumping a little

5:33

bit out of line. They were getting

5:36

yippy, you know? They were getting a

5:38

little bit yippy, a little bit afraid.

5:40

Oh. Okay, it's our fault. We

5:42

got too scared. Sorry. I tend

5:44

to get a little yippy when

5:47

my retirement plan starts to look

5:49

like the elevator from the Shining.

6:00

Straight down in heavy flow. I'm sorry,

6:02

I don't mean to be dramatic,

6:04

but this is the worst tariff

6:06

day ever. This whole trade war

6:08

was launched on incoherent arguments.

6:11

You stuck to your guns

6:13

for incoherent reasons, and now

6:15

you're pulling back for incoherent

6:18

reasons. Is there anything you

6:20

can say that actually makes

6:22

sense? No other president would

6:25

have done what I did. No

6:27

other president. Still

6:37

though, I just wish that

6:39

someone could explain what

6:42

the strategy is going

6:44

forward with these tariffs.

6:46

I mean, is there

6:49

anyone who can tell me?

6:51

Dizzy, hi, I can tell you.

6:53

Hey, oh, hi. Oh my God,

6:55

Olivia, my! What are you

6:57

doing here? I may correspond

6:59

on the Daily Show. I thought you

7:02

left in 2011. Oh, oh, no. You

7:04

know how John comes in one day

7:06

a week? Yeah, I have the same

7:08

deal. I just, I come in once

7:10

every 14 years. My dad's a CEDA.

7:13

Oh, okay. I see. Well, I'd ask what

7:15

you've been up to, but I have

7:17

the internet. That's fair. Break it down

7:19

for us. What is Trump's strategy here

7:21

with these tariffs? Everyone's scared. There's so

7:24

much uncertainty and this is no way

7:26

that you can actually run in a

7:28

economy. Does he? Be cool. Okay, Trump

7:30

knows exactly what he's doing. He put

7:32

tariffs that destroyed the global economy, so

7:34

then he took them off and now

7:36

it's only mostly destroyed. Now to avoid

7:38

tariffs coming back other countries will cut

7:41

deals with us for better trade terms

7:43

and our deficit drops to zero. Problem

7:45

solved. Okay, I see. And

7:47

that's when we drop all

7:49

the tariffs. No, bitch. Then,

7:51

we hit them even harder.

7:54

400% tariffs. We bomb their

7:56

factories. We catch those penguins

7:59

on that. island and we

8:01

eat them. Then the other countries

8:03

will really come begging. We

8:05

can get whatever we want, baby.

8:07

Ikea furniture comes assembled. Honda

8:09

cords, trunks full of Nike sneakers.

8:11

We'll get to pee on

8:13

their currency while they watch. Then

8:15

we've won. Gross. But fine.

8:18

Then the trade war ends. Yes.

8:20

Then it makes sense for

8:22

the trade war to end. But

8:24

psych bitch, four billion percent

8:26

terrorists. You're in our house now.

8:28

The new iPhone? Three dollars.

8:30

Nike sneakers? Comes with a Honda

8:32

Accord. Then we pee on their

8:35

currency again. They're not even watching.

8:37

It's just the only way we

8:39

can pee anymore. Olivia,

8:42

why? How does any of

8:44

this make up the trade

8:46

deficit? Desi, baby girl.

8:48

It's not the trade deficit.

8:51

This is all to make up for Donald

8:53

Trump's enormous deficit of attention and love.

8:55

He said as much last night. I'm

8:57

telling you, these countries are calling us

9:00

up, kissing my ass. They

9:02

are dying to make it to

9:04

you. Please, please, sir, make it

9:06

to you. See?

9:11

He's just a boy. Standing

9:14

in front of the world. Asking

9:17

to have his ass kissed. And

9:19

once the world fills the aching

9:21

hole in his heart, the tariffs

9:23

will end. But that

9:25

will never happen. There's not enough attention in

9:27

the world to make him feel like

9:29

a human again. Exactly,

9:32

bitch. Oh,

9:35

now I get it. Wow.

9:38

That was really enlightening. Thanks,

9:41

bitch. Who

9:43

are you calling bitch? Oh, I'm sorry.

9:45

I'm sorry. I thought we were...

9:47

Having a thing? Yeah. Yeah, we're not.

9:50

Oh, okay. Well, thank you for

9:52

your analysis. No problem. I'll see you

9:54

in 2039. Oh,

9:57

Olivia. Olivia. had

10:29

produced three cubs with the DNA

10:31

of the prehistoric dire wolf. Then

10:33

two days later, a white woman

10:35

tried to bring one on an

10:37

airplane as her emotional support animal.

10:39

But the question is, what animal

10:41

is next in line for deextinction?

10:43

Troy Ewada found out. Climate change.

10:45

It could kill us any day

10:47

now, if we're lucky. But one

10:49

scientist has a solution. Meet Dr.

10:52

George Church Church. He knows exactly

10:54

how to curb climate change, and

10:56

the answer is so simple. for

10:58

engineering cold tolerant elements using DNA

11:00

from ancient extinct woolly mammoths

11:02

to help us with climate

11:04

change. You're going to bring

11:06

back the woolly mammoth. Something

11:09

like that. From the Ice Age. Around

11:11

that era, yeah. Voiced by Ray Romano.

11:13

Yeah, that's the theme. Oh yeah,

11:15

that's good. So while some think

11:17

they're doing their part with their

11:19

electric cars, George and his company

11:21

were making Jurassic Park a reality.

11:24

Losas Biosciences is a genetic

11:26

engineering firm working to resurrect

11:28

the woolly mammoth. This process

11:30

will save animals on the brink

11:32

of extinction and even improve the

11:34

environment. You know, I never thought

11:37

about the woolly mammoth angle. I

11:39

almost feel stupid for not. thinking

11:41

about it, because it was right there in

11:43

front of me. I just have one silly

11:45

question. How exactly is a woolly mammoth going

11:48

to combat climate change? Are we going

11:50

to provide them with a canvas tote

11:52

and metal straws? There aren't that many

11:54

solutions that address the gigantic amount of

11:56

carbon that could be released in the

11:59

form of methane. from the

12:01

Arctic. We're

12:03

concerned about both

12:05

keeping that

12:07

carbon in the ground frozen, which

12:09

means it would be nice to have

12:11

cold resistant elephants stomped down the

12:13

snow and allow the minus 40 winter

12:15

wind to come in and cool

12:17

down the permafrost and knock down the

12:19

trees. And elephants are one of

12:22

the few animals in the world that

12:24

will knock down trees. They love

12:26

knocking down trees. So a big part

12:28

of this is about knocking down

12:30

trees and restoring the grasslands and the

12:32

and the vibrant ecosystem that came

12:34

along with them. Right, right. Have you

12:36

considered monster trucks? I feel like with

12:38

the right combination of monster trucks, monster

12:40

truck drivers and meth you could really

12:43

knock down a lot of trees. We

12:45

haven't discussed that yet. That's out of

12:47

the box. Well, I am on board

12:49

not because I'm pretending to understand everything

12:51

that you're saying or comprehend the science

12:53

behind it, but I would love a

12:55

pet, Willy Mammoth. I

12:57

think that would be fun. Okay. Just

13:00

me and my pet, Willy Nelson.

13:02

This is the best idea ever.

13:04

I think it's a bad idea.

13:06

Extinct species are extinct. Bringing them

13:08

back to influence climate change, it's

13:10

a non -starter. There's always a buzzkill.

13:13

Meet Dr. Ross McPhee from the

13:15

American Museum of Natural History. I've

13:17

spent most of my career on

13:19

Ice Age Paleontology. On mammoths, on

13:21

saber -toothed cats, you name it,

13:23

I've been there. Wait, so you're

13:25

a paleontologist who works at the

13:27

American Museum of Natural History and your

13:30

name is Dr. Ross? I know,

13:32

I know where you're going with this.

13:34

I didn't think today could get

13:36

any better, but oh my god. Okay

13:38

Troy, here it is. This is

13:40

the mammoth. This is

13:42

what they want to bring back? They want

13:44

to bring this back in all of its

13:46

glory. Wow. Well, it seems easy enough. The

13:48

bones are all there. Right, but it's a

13:50

little matter of the soft tissues that we

13:53

need as well. Oh right, Kleenex. Yeah. So

13:55

how would they even resurrect an

13:57

extinct species? The woolly

13:59

mammoth and the Asian elf, very

14:01

closely related, we can engineer

14:03

them to be compatible with

14:05

genetic engineering tools. So in

14:08

a way you're making sort of an

14:10

Asian hybrid? Correct. Okay, well now I

14:12

know why they asked me to do this

14:14

interview. But here's the problem. Money

14:16

that's going to be spent would

14:19

be much better spent on endangered

14:21

species that are still with us.

14:23

But can you imagine a beautiful

14:25

world where humans and woolly mammets?

14:28

play together on earth? We're talking

14:30

about an animal that is eating

14:32

300 pounds of food a day.

14:34

300 pounds? Someone called TLC. Yeah,

14:36

I know. Nobody wants something that's

14:38

5,000 to 6,000 pounds marching around

14:40

in their yard. Oh my god,

14:42

have you been reading my journal?

14:44

In my childhood dream journal, I

14:46

wrote, I want something that's 5,000

14:48

to 6,000 pounds marching around my

14:50

yard. It's a big mistake. Well,

14:52

I was a kid. Both of

14:54

these geniuses made good points, but

14:56

only one of them had a

14:58

secret lab full of prehistoric creatures.

15:01

And I couldn't believe I

15:03

was finally going to meet

15:05

one of these majestic mammals.

15:07

Wow, this is this is

15:10

amazing. So where are the

15:12

the mammals? Are they in

15:14

the back? Even a simple

15:16

engineered elephant's a little short

15:18

of a mammoth. Probably 2028

15:21

at the earliest. 2028. We

15:23

can show you some elephant

15:25

cells. All right, let's see

15:27

some elephant cells. Fun. These

15:29

are very precious cells. It

15:32

took us years. Oh, interesting.

15:34

It's very sterile, very rich

15:37

growth media. So you're going

15:39

to turn this water into

15:41

a wooly mammoth. Well, the

15:44

cells could. conceivably contribute to

15:46

changing the genome of an

15:48

elephant. Okay, bringing back a

15:51

woolly mammoth to curb climate

15:53

change might seem bonkers, but

15:55

it's either that are carpooling

15:58

with coworkers we hate. At

16:00

least this

16:03

guy will be

16:06

here when we're

16:08

all gone. Thank

16:11

you for all.

16:14

When we come

16:17

back, Olivia

16:20

Munn will

16:22

be joining

16:25

us. They'll

16:27

go away.

16:30

who stars

16:32

in the

16:34

new Apple

16:36

TV Plus

16:40

series, Your

16:43

Friends and

16:47

Neighbors. Please

16:50

welcome back,

16:54

Olivia Mann!

16:57

So nice to be here, I love it

16:59

here. Do you like that we invite you

17:02

to come on as a guest? And then

17:04

we immediately put you to work. I love

17:06

it. This was, when I got the call

17:08

to be on the Daily Show, it was,

17:10

like, I mean, at that time, it was,

17:12

like, at that time, it was like, John

17:14

Stewart, it was, it was, it was, it

17:17

was, I mean, I was standing

17:19

right over there, it was my

17:21

first time, I was in the

17:23

dark, and I was like, Oh

17:25

my gosh, oh my gosh. And

17:27

just remember I couldn't breathe. It

17:29

was like, oh my god, I'm

17:31

forgetting to breathe. So I was

17:33

so nervous. Yes, it was just

17:35

the best time of my life.

17:37

And it was probably a whirlwind,

17:39

right? Did you get hired and

17:41

then immediately put on the show? I

17:43

got, I got hired and then we

17:46

knew that they're like, we're going to

17:48

have you on in two weeks. So

17:50

there was like a two week of

17:52

writing to 2012. mind if I finish

17:55

that goagirt that you left in the

17:57

fridge? I didn't already. Do you think

17:59

that's... I'll hope for the best. You know,

18:01

they do have a lot of great snacks here.

18:03

They do. Although, I don't, you guys wouldn't know

18:06

because you're not inside the building like that, but

18:08

you guys, Trevor did something to

18:10

the inside of your offices, and

18:12

it's not good. You guys, it

18:14

used to be like all open

18:16

and everybody could like look over

18:18

their desk and talk to each

18:21

other. Now it's like, it's like

18:23

you're inside of a train car,

18:25

right? It's like all compartmentalized. Well,

18:27

they tried to give everyone their

18:29

individual space, but we're in really

18:31

tight little spaces, but we're in

18:33

really tight little spaces now. So

18:35

it just, it does feel like

18:37

you're working inside of a shoe

18:40

box. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, we

18:42

don't have. TV money. Is it

18:44

during crazy political

18:46

times like this?

18:48

Are you just like,

18:51

oh thank God I

18:53

don't have to cover

18:55

news anymore? I don't think I

18:57

could keep up with it. And honestly,

18:59

I just, I hear things, you know,

19:02

I hear something, like today I heard

19:04

something about the tariffs and I was

19:06

like, oh yeah, there's tariffs. And I

19:08

knew I was coming on, so I

19:10

learned more because I was coming on

19:12

here. But I kind of go through

19:15

life, kind of like. Like I have

19:17

two babies, we've got a lot of

19:19

other stuff happening, so it's really hard

19:21

to think about digesting all of the

19:23

news. Oh God, that sounds so nice.

19:25

You know, I just, just a day

19:28

of that, although you have been

19:30

tapped in because you've been co-hosting

19:32

the Today Show with Jenna in

19:35

the last week, you've been fantastic.

19:37

Has it been so much fun? It's

19:39

so much fun. It's a very fun.

19:41

fun show to to be on. They're

19:43

really, it's just very easy. Do

19:45

they still give you copious amounts

19:47

of shardene? No, they didn't

19:49

this time. They've let up. Yeah, I

19:51

think that was, yeah. Maybe that's

19:53

a Kathy Lee thing. But anyways, no.

19:56

It's very nice and pleasant. You wait

19:58

in on the all females. space mission.

20:00

Yes, blue origin. Blue origin. Were

20:02

you surprised by the response that

20:05

you got from that? You know,

20:07

I was actually very happy to

20:09

hear so many people feel the

20:11

same way. They think it's ridiculous.

20:13

Yeah. Well, tell them what you

20:15

said. Yeah. Well, do you guys

20:17

know what we're talking about? Good

20:19

thing you don't. But they are

20:21

going on this press. It's like,

20:23

um. I can't, who's in, who all's

20:25

in it? It's, there's a group

20:28

of women, Jeff Basos, his wife,

20:30

Lauren Sanchez, Katie Perry, Gail King,

20:32

they're going to space, they're calling

20:34

it this whole, like a female

20:37

exploration, or I don't know. They

20:39

were on the cover of Elle

20:41

magazine as if they were like

20:44

making history. Yeah. And, um, oh my

20:46

gosh, the things that that threw me was

20:48

that they said, they're gonna

20:50

put the ass and astronaut.

20:54

Katie Perry said that and

20:56

they all talked about going

20:58

in full glam and I think

21:01

is Gail King talking about

21:03

my eyelash glue I couldn't

21:05

take it I just was

21:07

so annoyed by that here's

21:09

the here's my biggest issue

21:11

with that it like they this

21:13

big press push feels like

21:15

they think they are shattering

21:17

some outer space glass ceiling

21:20

but I think it's just

21:22

a girls trip like I'm

21:24

sure that's all it is.

21:26

Women will stop at nothing

21:28

for just a good old-fashioned

21:30

girls. I will say though

21:32

as a woman on this

21:34

planet in this moment in

21:37

time I do love the

21:39

idea of launching myself into

21:41

outer space. If this was

21:44

all about feminism for them,

21:46

they wouldn't be putting themselves

21:49

on that rocket. There are

21:51

so many... female astronauts who

21:53

have been training their whole

21:55

lives to go into space

21:57

and haven't gotten that call.

22:01

These are the least qualified people to

22:03

be in space. And by the way,

22:05

it's not even space. We could see

22:07

them right now. Like, it's that easy.

22:09

Like, they're not going up very far.

22:11

11 -minute mission, right? You're calling it

22:13

a mission? She's

22:16

calling it a mission. What's the mission?

22:18

What's their mission? Tell me. Hey, to

22:20

put the ass in astronaut, I guess. I

22:24

guess. Well, now they're done training, I heard. Well,

22:27

there's so much to... Now you've got

22:29

me invested in this story. Well, I only

22:31

had to get invested because they forced it

22:33

onto us by telling us in the press

22:35

all about it, and we were such a

22:37

big press push. Oh, my God. I have

22:39

more to say. I want to do an

22:41

hour podcast on it. All right. Well, we'll

22:43

put out an extended cut. Oh, my gosh,

22:45

should. Congratulations

22:47

on marrying your love, the brilliant

22:49

John Mulaney. Thank Thank you

22:52

very much. Last year. Thank

22:54

you. So, we have

22:56

two beautiful babies. Malcolm

22:58

and Mae, I follow you

23:00

on Instagram, and your baby content is

23:02

very impressive. Those That makes me so

23:04

happy, because that's pretty much all the

23:06

content I have. It's all I have.

23:08

What has it been like being at

23:10

home? Who's the fun parent of the

23:12

two of you? You know, funny you

23:14

ask, because people would think John, because,

23:16

like, you know, of his history. Um,

23:19

but, uh, but

23:21

he is the strict parent. Really?

23:24

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it does become,

23:26

like, a little bit of an issue. John

23:28

will say, like, the other day, he was

23:30

like, Malcolm, no throwing balls in the house. And

23:33

then he leaves, and I said, Malcolm, do you want to throw

23:35

the ball in the house? You are bad. Well, you know,

23:37

I grew up in a family of five. John grew up in

23:39

a family of four. So, similar. But

23:41

the difference is, like, we were, like, in

23:43

martial arts as kids. We were, like, really

23:45

physical. We thought, I do not think there

23:47

was, like, you know, hand -to -hand combat

23:49

in John's family growing up. It's a very different

23:51

Irish Catholic kind of upbringing. So I like

23:53

things to be a little bit more rowdy. And

23:56

the other day, Malcolm said, Mama,

23:58

can we throw the beach ball? up

24:00

to the fan in the ceiling. And I

24:02

said, yeah, should we turn it on first?

24:04

And then we do that, the ball

24:06

goes flying, it breaks a glass, obviously.

24:08

And then John comes in, he's

24:11

like, Olivia, what are you thinking? It's

24:13

what he says to me a lot.

24:15

And it's true. And then he said,

24:17

you know what I realized? The kind

24:19

of parent that you are, he told me

24:21

that I'm like drop dead Fred

24:24

Fred as a parent. You guys

24:26

don't drop it. Does any great

24:28

movie? You guys too young? Some

24:31

people are not. Some people are

24:33

old enough like that. Yes, thank

24:35

you. Look at Drop Dead Fred.

24:37

I mean, I was like, oh

24:40

yeah, that's. Yeah, I am drop

24:42

dead Fred as a parent. You're

24:44

the imaginary best friend. I'm the

24:46

imaginary best friend that's like, do

24:49

whatever. Let's like make mud pies

24:51

in the living room. I think

24:53

you own that. Yeah. Yeah, thank

24:55

you. You should be a friend

24:57

of that. Are you having fun

24:59

doing this? This, are you kidding

25:01

me? I'm just waiting for them

25:03

to pull the rug out from

25:05

under me. No, you guys are

25:07

doing so great. It's so fun

25:09

to watch you guys. It's so

25:11

fun to watch you guys. I

25:13

remember when I came out I

25:15

see you guys on the banners

25:18

outside. When I was here for

25:20

two years I never got a banner.

25:22

You never got a banner. And maybe next

25:24

time I come you can put one up

25:26

for the day. We will absolutely present you.

25:28

Yeah, and then you can take it back

25:31

down. Yeah, and then we'll take it back

25:33

down. It'll be time. You have, you actually

25:35

took quite a bit of time away from

25:37

acting to spend the time with

25:40

your family. You had Malcolm and

25:42

you were very open about experiencing

25:44

postpartum depression. Yeah, postpartum anxiety. Yeah,

25:46

so I had, I had. I've

25:49

been prepared for postpartum depression because

25:51

we hear so much about it. But postpartum

25:53

anxiety came on and it was, I

25:55

don't know if anyone here has gone

25:57

through that or their partners have, but it

25:59

is a... It is one of the worst

26:01

experiences of my life. It came on

26:04

like a month or two after I

26:06

had Malcolm and I woke up at

26:08

4 a.m. My eyes just pop open

26:10

and I start going, and I keep

26:13

breathing like that all day long and

26:15

I keep waking up like that every

26:17

day at 4 a.m. for a year.

26:19

Oh my God. For a full year.

26:21

I just couldn't breathe. I just had

26:24

so much anxiety. There was no actual

26:26

thoughts and thank God I didn't have

26:28

any thoughts of self-harm or harming others.

26:30

I have so much compassion and sympathy

26:33

for mothers who are going through that.

26:35

And I think that people don't understand

26:37

it enough. And we're not compassionate enough

26:39

about what it's like to be a

26:42

mother and to... birth a baby and

26:44

everything that happens to your body in

26:46

the hormones, but it was incredibly difficult,

26:48

but I did make it through to

26:50

the other side. So

26:58

openly discussing it is so helpful to

27:00

so many other women who have experienced

27:02

it. You've also been incredibly open about

27:05

your breast cancer diagnosis, which is not

27:07

just courageous, but an incredibly generous thing

27:09

to do. I can't even imagine deciding

27:12

that in that moment in time everything

27:14

you were going through. What made you

27:16

want to share your story? Well, there

27:19

was a few reasons, but the biggest

27:21

is that I was looking back. on

27:23

photos with myself and my son. And

27:26

I, I, there was this one video

27:28

I had of me and him and

27:30

I was laughing and were playing and

27:33

I had had a clear mammogram like

27:35

just around that same time. But I

27:37

had cancer and I didn't know it.

27:40

And. The way that my cancer was

27:42

found was because my doctor did the

27:44

lifetime risk assessment test. It's this free

27:46

online test. It takes a few minutes

27:49

to take. And I link it in

27:51

my Instagram Bio just because there's a

27:53

very specific one that does the best

27:56

calculation. It's a tire cusic. test and

27:58

she took it and she said your

28:00

score is 37.3 percent. Anything above 20

28:03

percent is considered high risk. She sent

28:05

me to get an MRI and after

28:07

that I was diagnosed with multifocal, multi-

28:10

quadrant bilateral breast cancer, stage one. Yeah.

28:12

with a clear mammogram. Clear mammogram, clear

28:14

ultrasound, clear genetic testing for any genetic

28:17

cancer, so no broccoli or anything like

28:19

that. I was doing everything I thought

28:21

I had to do to take care

28:24

of myself. This test has been around

28:26

for a very long time. It's just

28:28

not something people have heard about a

28:30

lot, so that's why I wanted to

28:33

talk about it. I said, if I

28:35

could, I told John, if. If every

28:37

woman just knew that they could have

28:40

their own score right there and take

28:42

it to their doctor, it could just

28:44

change their life and save their life.

28:47

And that's why I made the decision

28:49

to talk about it. Such a generous

28:51

thing for you to do. And you've

28:54

had women come up to you and

28:56

say, thank you so much for sharing

28:58

that you've impacted other... women's lives by

29:01

sharing that. That's the thing that I

29:03

was not expecting. So when I was

29:05

diagnosed, the first thing I said to

29:08

John was like, don't tell anybody. We're

29:10

not telling anybody. And it wasn't that

29:12

I was embarrassed or ashamed. I couldn't

29:14

deal with other people's worry. You know,

29:17

I didn't want to tell my mom,

29:19

I didn't want to hear my sister

29:21

worry and panic, I didn't want my

29:24

mom to cry, and then I realized

29:26

very soon that he needs support as

29:28

well, so I said, you know, let's

29:31

just tell whoever we need to tell,

29:33

but the sisterhood of women who have

29:35

gone through this, it's so beautiful and

29:38

so amazing, and every time someone comes

29:40

up and says something to me or

29:42

wants to stop and talk to me

29:45

about their own journey or their mother

29:47

or sister or their wives, it's, it's

29:49

just... It sounds a little cheesy, but

29:51

I do get healed a little bit

29:54

more every single time. And it's a

29:56

strange thing to say it, but, and

29:58

I can only say it because I've

30:01

made it through to this side, but

30:03

I would happily go through cancer all

30:05

over again if it meant that I

30:08

could reach out to this many people

30:10

and save this many people's lives. A

30:12

million percent, I would do it all over. but

30:19

you're on the other side of

30:21

it now and you're healthy.

30:23

And now you have this,

30:25

you're back to work, you

30:27

have this incredible new show.

30:29

Yeah, thanks. And you took

30:32

some time off, but tell

30:34

us what was so enticing

30:36

about this project. Was it

30:38

John Hamm's penis? It doesn't

30:40

just star John Hamm's penis.

30:42

Olivia is also in it.

30:44

And Amanda Peek. Yes. Well, it

30:46

was Apple TV, which I think that

30:49

they do the coolest content, and then

30:51

John Hamm, Jonathan Trapper. And it was,

30:53

I love that we're meeting these people,

30:55

John Hamm and myself, specifically at

30:57

this time in their life, where

31:00

their lives are crumbling. It's about

31:02

the one percenters in the country,

31:04

and these people who are born

31:06

into wealth and and have everything

31:08

that you think that you could

31:10

ever want or need. And John

31:12

Hamm's character loses everything and starts

31:14

to steal from his rich friends

31:16

and neighbors to keep up his

31:18

facade. And my character is the

31:20

only one in the world that

31:22

wasn't born into else. She has a

31:24

blue collar upbringing and she married into

31:26

this. So we meet my character in

31:29

the middle of a divorce on the

31:31

precipice of losing everything. And I really,

31:33

I find it fascinating to watch. People

31:36

who have so much lose at all.

31:38

Mm-hmm. It's a great problem. I mean,

31:40

there's a ton of conflict. It's your

31:42

phenomenal in it. The two of you

31:45

have such great chemistry. There's like a

31:47

fun banter. There's like a fun rhythm

31:49

to the show. Yeah, that's Jonathan Chopper's

31:51

dialogue. He's a fantastic novelist and writer

31:53

and writer and John Hamm is executive

31:56

producer on this, so he had his

31:58

hand on everything as well. It's great.

32:00

And your scenes with Amanda Pete or

32:02

Fanat. I mean, so far that's my

32:05

favorite episode. She's so good in it.

32:07

Yeah, you together are very, very good.

32:09

Yeah, I love her. And it just

32:11

got picked up for a second season.

32:13

So congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

32:16

you so much for being here. Congratulations

32:18

on everything. Thank you for having so

32:20

much fun with us. We miss you

Now here it is, your

33:09

moment of Zen. This was

33:11

the strategy all along to

33:13

bring them to the table.

33:15

Why did you instruct or

33:17

advise or, or maybe they

33:19

did it on their own,

33:21

some of your top aides

33:23

to say this is not

33:25

a negotiation, to hold the

33:27

line, that they were going

33:29

to hold the line, that

33:32

you were not going to

33:34

change your mind. Well, a

33:36

lot of times it's not

33:38

a negotiation until it is.
