I used to love the little things. My son's laughter, the smell of rain. But then depression happened, and while my antidepressant helped, I still didn't feel like I used to. So my doctor recommended adding Rexulti.

[Adam Pally]

three years the kids are not all right but that's okay cause no one here is Take me.

[Danielle Fishel]

I have asked the POD meets world listeners for them to send in their own embarrassing childhood stories. And lucky for us, everyone's got one. They are proof there is strength in numbers. So this week we heard from David in Cincinnati. Let's take a listen to his unfortunate memory and then we can chat a little bit about it and see if it drums up any of our own experience.

[Adam Pally]

Hi, my name's David. I'm from Cincinnati. Just going to do a low stakes quick story here. My freshman year, I asked a girl out that I had a crush on all through junior high. To my surprise, she said yes. And she said I should sit with her and her friends at lunch that day. This pizza day. About halfway through, somebody asked me a question. I turned my head to answer and just a giant, gross, chewed up clump of pizza fell onto the table right in front of me. It was super embarrassing. I don't remember exactly what happened in that moment. Probably because I blacked out a little bit or something. But she was nice enough to wait a whole week before she dumped me. So that was pretty cool. Anyway, good luck with the new show. I look forward to listening. Thanks.

[Danielle Fishel]

Bye. Do you have any.

[Adam Pally]

This guy's got a charmed life.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's the most embarrassing.

[Adam Pally]

That's the most embarrassing. Food fell out of your mouth. That happens to me every meal.

[Danielle Fishel]

He's still remembering that time that the girl.

[Adam Pally]

How, how does he remember how

[Bowen Yang]

I

[Adam Pally]

had so much embarrassing shit? One time I Went to school and everyone started making fun of me because I was wearing boxers as shorts. You could see my penis through the hole. That's embarrassing.

[Danielle Fishel]

How did that happen?

[Adam Pally]

Because my parents are nuts and they were like, I don't know. It was probably my dad's boxers that my mom was like, these are big enough. Just put them on. Like, that's embarrassing. That was embarrassing. Talking to a girl and be like, oh, sorry. Excuse me. Sorry. That literally that happened to me while we were talking. This guy's like living the best life. He's gotta be a billionaire. Who was that? Is that Mark Zuckerberg? The most embarrassing thing ever was when I. Food fell out of my mouth. Other than that, I know how to jiu jitsu and. And water snurf. I. I don't think anything is embarrassing. What

[Bowen Yang]

I thought.

[Danielle Fishel]

10 worst things have happened today. I mean, just already.

[Adam Pally]

Food fell out of your. Get over it guy.

[Danielle Fishel]

Welcome to my new advice show.

[Adam Pally]

I. I had a credit card get declined on a shopping show.

[Danielle Fishel]

You went on sneaker shopping and your credit.

[Adam Pally]

It was even worse. It was like stupid. It was like a cab. It was like stoop ice cream with Jenna Juba job. And then we were like at some Jenny's in Chicago and it's like for local morning radio. And I was like, I'll take that. And I put my card out. It got the client. That's embarrassing. This guy on. This guy had food fall out of his mouth and he. And he calls you about it 20 years later. He had. I don't know who this guy is. He's got to be getting blown right now. There's no way he is living a life of any sort of conflict. Oh, it was so horrible, Danielle. So horrible. I was eating. Food fell out of my mouth. And a week. She even dump him right away. We got another week. We got another week. This motherfucker. No, sir.

[Danielle Fishel]

I have something that's equally like minorly embarrassing. But I remember it because there's a photo of it and it's still framed in my best friend's house. When I. When I was 18 years old and I had just moved out of my parents house and I was living with my roommate, my. Whose name was also Danielle. And I got invited. We got invited to the Playboy Mansion for the midsummer night's dream party. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a party in the summer where everyone wears lingerie. Yeah, I've been okay. Me too. I love it.

[Adam Pally]

I wonder if we're at the same one.

[Danielle Fishel]

I wonder. 99.

[Adam Pally]

Mine was probably a little later because mine was happy. Mine was probably like 2005.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay, I'm 90.

[Adam Pally]

Nine is way too young for you to be at the I was dream party.

[Danielle Fishel]

I was 18.

[Adam Pally]

Danielle Fish. L. What are you doing?

[Danielle Fishel]

I was 18 and I. They had chocolate covered strawberries and I ate a chocolate covered strawberry and then just went about the rest of the night not thinking anything. And at some point, my roommate slash best friend and I, Danielle, we took a picture together. And it was before the age of digital cameras, so there's no, like, looking at your picture right away. You just hope it's good. And like at the very end of the night, somebody said to me, oh, you. You've got something in your teeth. And I had a huge chunk of strawberry just in my teeth. And then when we got the film developed and it came back, sure enough, there I am. Just.

[Adam Pally]

It's like you two and Bill Maher being like, ew.

[Danielle Fishel]

You laugh. But. But Bill was.

[Adam Pally]

Of course it was Bill Maher. I've been there.

[Danielle Fishel]

And Verne Troyer.

[Adam Pally]

It's like Bill Maher, Verne Troyer and Chris Evans before Marvel movies.

[Danielle Fishel]

Paulie Shore.

[Adam Pally]

I got a, like a drug induced fight with Chris Evans at the Playboy Mansion pajama party once. What? That if Damon and, and, and, and he will corroborate this. If Damon Wayne's Jr. Was not there, Chris Evans would have killed me.

[Danielle Fishel]

Oh, please, tell me what happened.

[Adam Pally]

I don't really remember the. The. The ins and outs, but we were faced off. Like I had. It was, you know, those parties get. They got. They get crazy. You know what I mean? Like, there's like, like people. It's like Tom Waits in the grotto with that, like, hat. It's like you truly see people like that. You're like, that person is here, you know, like David lynch was there. It was like a wild party and bumped into him or something. And then he got like male aggro, you know, between the two of us. And I obviously didn't know what I was doing. And then. And I was with the happy ending screen. I remember like Zack Knight and be like, dude, this is like, I'll talk to him, I'll talk to him. Like, Zach went up to Chris, talked to him and like, that didn't work. Chris was like all fired up. And like, I was like, oh my God, I'm going to get us kicked out of the playwright. They start a fight. Captain America. And then Damon Wayne's walk was like, I'll take care of it.

[Danielle Fishel]

And he did. And you don't know what he said?

[Adam Pally]

I don't know what was said. I don't know what was said, but it was fine.

[Danielle Fishel]

Do you think Chris Evans remembers that story?

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah, we talked. We talked about it. We shared a dressing room, like, four or five years ago on Broadway. Like, he. And we talked about. We talked about it. And I. That's embarrassing. You know what? That's embarrassing. I had to say I'm sorry for being up and starting a fight with you. That's embarrassing.

[Danielle Fishel]

That is so crazy. I don't remember. I. I didn't. Nothing really crazy happened, at least in my night. I think I also may have gone home at, like, an appropriate time, you know, like.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

Where. Before everything gets too nuts. But. But yeah, I do remember. My. My main thing that I take away from that party was that I met Michael Vartan that night, and I thought Michael Vartan was the cutest thing.

[Adam Pally]

So handsome. Michael Vartan is so handsome. I mean, so at that time, he was like the next. He was. He could have been Jude Law.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yes. And he was so sweet and so, like, in. And I had the biggest crush on him.

[Adam Pally]

He was also at the Playboy Mansion.

[Danielle Fishel]

True. Anybody at the Playboy Mansion? You have to. You have to second guess, but, yeah, 100%. But he didn't seem like he fit in there, you know, like, he felt like the type that just didn't really fit in there. Like he didn't want to be there.

[Adam Pally]

He fit in just fine. He fit in just fine. Oh, you think he was like, oh, the water in the grotto is a little too cold for me. I won't. I won't be sharing my presence with you tonight. Have a good time, girls. Oh, look at all the paint. Everyone's painted.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's their pajamas. I know most people are surprised to learn what OCD really is because pop culture has spread the idea that it's just about being super neat and organized. But that's not accurate at all. My husband has ocd, and I can tell you it is so much more than that. Real OCD is a serious condition where you get unwanted, distressing thoughts called intrusive thoughts. They're stuck on repeat in your mind, often focusing on people or things we care about, like relationships, identity, or character, making them hard to ignore. And then you feel driven to do certain behaviors called compulsions to try to make the anxiety stop. This obsession and undying desire to make it go away can completely derail you for decades. Jensen ruined his own life and the happiness of those around him purely because he couldn't make the repeated worry go away. But he'd eventually learn it doesn't have to be that way because OCD is one of the most treatable mental health conditions. Once you get the right kind of specialized therapy. OCD needs ERP therapy. That's exposure and response prevention, which is proven to be the most effective treatment. Regular talk therapy isn't recommended and can actually make OCD worse. NOCD is the world's leading OCD treatment provider and all of their licensed therapists specialize in ERP therapy with no CD is 100% virtual, covered by insurance for over 138 million Americans and includes support between sessions so you never have to face OCD alone.

Hey, it's Erin Andrews and Carissa Thompson. And we did a live episode from San Francisco where we broke down one of the most surprising matchups in years, shared a perfectly awkward moment by me, of course, and talked about the importance of putting yourself and your health first. I'm just more vocal about health now. That whole year that I had it and had multiple surgeries, I didn't tell anyone. I mean, my core group of people knew, but my co workers didn't know. My co host on Dancing with the Stars didn't know. In fact, I found out I was cancer free. As I was getting ready for dress rehearsal for Dancing with the Stars. I remember one of the women that helped with wardrobe was actually writing down what the doctor was saying. And I looked over at Tom Bergeron in dress rehearsal, and I said, do you want to get some drinks tonight after the show? And he's like, I guess. I go. He goes, what are we celebrating? I was like, I'm cancer free. He said, what? To hear more of how we opened up during our live episode from San Fran, Check out the full episode now, wherever you get your podcasts. I had the biggest crush on him, and I aggressively pursued him. And he asked me how old I was, and I was like, 18. Maybe I was 19 max. And he was like, absolutely. He was disgusted.

[Adam Pally]

And good for Michael Varta.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's what I'm saying. The thing I take away from that time is like, we all have stories of the opposite of that, but, yeah, very rarely are there people you look back on and go, I aggressively was like, please let me date you. And he was like, you are way too young for me. You are way too young. I think he was like, 32. And he was like, absolutely not.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah. Where is Michael Vartan right now?

[Danielle Fishel]

I don't know.

[Adam Pally]

He should have a more of a career.

[Danielle Fishel]

He really should. Gorgeous, talented, Was very kind.

[Adam Pally]

He's like a better acting Josh Lucas.

[Danielle Fishel]

You know? You're not wrong.

[Adam Pally]

You know what I mean? He's like Josh Lucas with a little bit of game.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah, you're right. Where is this guy? Let's.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, well, because once Josh Lucas started losing the looks, it became voiceover. Mmm.

[Danielle Fishel]

Right to vo.

[Adam Pally]

But like, Josh Lucas, he saw the writing on the wall. He was like, I'm a religious freak already. So that's not gonna work.

[Danielle Fishel]

No.

[Adam Pally]

And then the. The Wilson brothers are keeping their hair, so I really need to find a new lane. And then it was like, well, I. I sound like a Ford commercial, right?

[Danielle Fishel]

I can do that.

[Adam Pally]

And now he's got it. I mean, that's technically what I'm doing with Jimmy John sandwiches, I guess.

[Danielle Fishel]

Do you. Are you the voiceover for Jimmy John sandwiches?

[Adam Pally]

I'm everything. I'm Jimmy John, baby.

[Danielle Fishel]

Mr. Jimmy John.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah.

[Danielle Fishel]

That's amazing. I love Jimmy John sandwiches.

[Adam Pally]

Me too. And I got a card that gets them for free, for life.

[Danielle Fishel]

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[Adam Pally]

I'll take you next time I'm in la. I'll take you guys.

[Danielle Fishel]

Please, please. You know, the. My last. It's a little sad about Jimmy John's that I. When I was pregnant, you know, you're not supposed to eat deli meat when you're pregnant. It's one of the weird things that they're like, yeah, don't eat deli meat.

[Adam Pally]

Sushi.

[Danielle Fishel]

And sushi. I ate everything. My doctor actually said the opposite. Don't worry about it. As long as it's, like, from a reputable place, you're fine. And so we went to Jimmy John's, had the most incredible sandwich, and then went to a best friend's kid's birthday party and had, like, tacos for dinner from a taco cart. And then that night got really sick and I was like, oh, no. I blamed it on the Jimmy John's and then found out from our friend later that night that everyone who had been at the party, everyone was throwing up, everyone was sick. And I. I know it wasn't the Jimmy John's. I am 100% positive it was the taco truck.

[Adam Pally]

Well, I'm contractually obligated. Again, this is another one of my contractual. I have to say, Jimmy John's will not give you food poisoning.

[Danielle Fishel]

It will never give you food poisoning. I do love that. Okay, I'm taking you up on it. Bring your card. You can buy. You can buy them for other people with your car.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, yeah. I do it frequently. It's like a party trick.

[Danielle Fishel]

If all of. Are all your business meetings now at Jimmy John's.

[Adam Pally]

Most of my generals.

[Danielle Fishel]

Honest question, has a general ever turned into something for you?

[Adam Pally]

Friendships.

[Danielle Fishel]

Okay.

[Adam Pally]

But I have never had a general that then, like, I've never left a general and had someone go, we're putting you in our movie or, we want to buy your idea. No, but I've made, like, I, you know, there are people that I've gone on a General with. When I was young that now are like, that I, you know, like, talk to all the time.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. I don't want more friends, though. I don't. I'm good.

[Adam Pally]

No, that's why. That's why I don't do. I try not to do them anymore because they don't also, like, now that I'm older, I'm on the other side of the general, which is people think, like, I can do something for them, and I truly have zero money or power. It's like, yeah, I could. I could, like, suggest how to fail. I like, you know, so I. I try not to do them.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. They're. They're all. I've never. I've literally never had one turn into anything for anything. I've been done directing generals. I've done acting just general generals, just to see what's out there.

[Adam Pally]

They're day fillers. It's day fillers. It's day fillers. Yeah. It's like.

[Bowen Yang]

It's.

[Adam Pally]

It's just a way to be like, okay, I did something today in la.

[Danielle Fishel]

I was on my cat. It's on my calendar. I had a full day.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, I bet. I've been stood up for generals a lot.

[Danielle Fishel]

I have been almost stood up for generals where then they pretended they didn't forget, but I'm, like, still in the meeting for 10 minutes, and then I'm like, hey. I get. They're not here. And they're like, well, sorry.

[Adam Pally]

Oh, God, when that happens, when you get, like, a FaceTime video from someone who stood you up, and they're like, I'm coming. I'm coming. You're like, don't.

[Danielle Fishel]

Please don't. Just.

[Adam Pally]

Don't Just leave me. Let me be here in my own.

[Danielle Fishel]

Yeah. Let me cry in my coffee.

[Adam Pally]

Yeah, no, I'm gonna come out and. And right around the Oscars and sit outside the theater with a cup.

[Danielle Fishel]

I like that. I'll. I'll do it with you. I don't ha. I'm gonna try to get seasonal depression about it. Seasonal award show depression.

[Adam Pally]

A couple more conversations with me. I'll get you there.

This is Bowen Yang from Lost Culture Resources with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. We all know the feeling when life gets really busy. Taking care of yourself can feel impossible. That's why Premier Protein shakes are my go to. They have 30 grams of protein, 160 calories, no added sugar, and they taste amazing. So they're a healthy choice you'll actually want to make. It's not just for fitness, it's for getting after life. The 30 grams of protein gives you the fuel you need. It's not just for intense gym sessions, it's just for life. With a wide variety of flavors, from cafe latte to cake batter, it never feels boring. There's a flavor for everyone. I personally love the peaches and cream, but maybe you're a root beer floater cinnamon roll kind of person. Premier Protein powers me to say yes to more.
