You know what guys? 

36
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Yeah, we was a podcast but 
people in real life often don't 

37
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,700
care. 
Yeah, most people think so 

38
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,000
really appreciate that. 
I think you guys. 

39
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,600
I often find like I feel like 
people, my real life, I've been 

40
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,200
like I'm following my Instagram 
and stuff because they're just 

41
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,900
getting annoyed of me. 
Only posting about the podcast, 

42
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,300
whatever you find out, who your 
real friends are. 

43
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,400
Yeah, you really do. 
But speaking of girlfriends, my 

44
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,400
friend, Mary Jane. 
She messaged me today that she 

45
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,500
was fine. 
Listening to this podcast. 

46
00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:05,800
And she said that she felt like 
we were really cute and funny. 

47
00:03:06,300 --> 00:03:10,100
So thanks, Ryan James, and Mary 
Jane, just for you. 

48
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:12,700
I'm working on a future episode 
that, I think you're going to 

49
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:15,300
really appreciate. 
Oh, really, which one? 

50
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:20,200
I'll bleep it out. 
Oh, like that. 

51
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Really, how come? 
Because she's just a big fan of 

52
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,900
that franchise. 
Cool franchise franchise, guys. 

53
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:33,000
Do you realize how This podcast 
is we can't run out of ideas, 

54
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,000
literally have 85 ideas right 
now. 

55
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,700
Yeah, it's like the tip of the 
iceberg. 

56
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,100
I'm not exaggerating. 
We have a spreadsheet that has 

57
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:44,800
85 ideas and the more time 
passes, the more ideas will be 

58
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,700
born from future couples getting
together. 

59
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,200
Everybody out here, I'm like, 
oh, do they have interesting 

60
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,200
love life? 
Like, oh my God, yeah, there's 

61
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,700
something. 
I feel like everybody here. 

62
00:03:55,700 --> 00:03:58,400
I just think about it, you know,
not even like the one I'm 

63
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,800
working on right now. 
Not this one. 

64
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,500
It another one. 
I thought I kind of knew 

65
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:06,200
everything, but there's so much 
that I'm covering as I'm diving 

66
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,300
into the research for it, you 
never know everything. 

67
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,000
Hmm. 
You never know. 

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Yeah. 
But so today's episode. 

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,500
Okay. 
So I'm excited this couple, I'll

70
00:04:17,500 --> 00:04:19,899
be honest. 
So this is about John Mulaney 

71
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:24,200
and his marriage to his now, 
ex-wife anna-marie tendler. 

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,600
I didn't even know John Mulaney 
was married until I heard about 

73
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,500
this. 
This breakup, mmm. 

74
00:04:31,500 --> 00:04:34,700
And I heard about it because on 
Tick-Tock a lot of people were 

75
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:39,500
so upset about this kind of how 
I was upset about Rob and 

76
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,100
Kristen breaking up originally. 
And then I saw a lot of Tik toks

77
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:45,700
that were like criticizing 
people that were upset about 

78
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:48,300
this breakup because just 
because it was like you don't 

79
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:51,800
really know them in real life 
it's a parasocial relationship. 

80
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,700
Get a life or being so upset 
about this relationship. 

81
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,900
And so I was intrigued instantly
of like okay, why are people 

82
00:04:57,900 --> 00:04:59,300
upset about this? 
Yeah. 

83
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:03,200
And then Is the whole Olivia 
Munn part of it. 

84
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:08,500
A love triangle love, baby. 
I was very good. 

85
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:13,100
I knew he was married because I 
remember he had some joke about 

86
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,900
his wife, loving Timothy 
Challenge and I related to that 

87
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:19,900
and I guess you're just funny to
me. 

88
00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,000
But yeah, but she's not like 
before this. 

89
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,300
I don't think she's not like a 
celebrity in the same way that 

90
00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:29,100
he is. 
So I was intrigued about this 

91
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:31,900
relationship. 
And I'll be honest after doing 

92
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,700
the research for this one, I 
felt very, very sad. 

93
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,100
So we're going to try to keep it
light and funny so it's not 

94
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:43,000
super depressing but it's not 
the most feel-good story. 

95
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
We will get through it together.
Yeah. 

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And but I think spoiler, I 
think, one reason why people are

97
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,300
very preoccupied with this is 
because there's something kind 

98
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:58,100
of relatable about the breakdown
of this relationship. 

99
00:05:58,700 --> 00:06:01,900
I'll get to that. 
I'm intrigued Here, I'm pumped 

100
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:04,300
man. 
And I haven't recorded in like 

101
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:07,900
weeks. 
So I'm so excited to be here. 

102
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,200
I hope you guys are too. 
Yeah, I genuinely love doing 

103
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,100
this show, so I hope you guys 
like it. 

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,100
Okay, let's get into. 
It's okay, John Edmund Mulaney. 

105
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:21,000
Who is he? 
I don't know. 

106
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,200
He was born on August 26 1982. 
What does that make today 

107
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,100
tomorrow? 
Yes, Happy birthday Joe Malin. 

108
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,700
According to son, August 25th. 
Wow! 

109
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:39,000
Birthday boy a boy ever go. 
I think that makes him A Virgo. 

110
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,600
I've no, we gotta know what that
means. 

111
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,600
I'll be honest. 
Okay, so he's born in Chicago, 

112
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,100
Illinois, his mom. 
And he would ya, you don't know 

113
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:51,200
that he's got go boy, his mom is
Ellen Malini. 

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,400
She was a law professor at 
Northwestern University and his 

115
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,700
dad was Chip Mulaney Junior an 
attorney, okay, young shoutout. 

116
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:03,600
My friend went to Northwestern. 
Okay, his siblings who has an 

117
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,000
older sister Claire, an older 
brother chip. 

118
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,100
I'm guessing chip the third and 
a deceased brother younger 

119
00:07:10,100 --> 00:07:12,300
brother. 
Peter who actually died at Birth

120
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,000
when John was four years old. 
So, that's sad. 

121
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,200
Yeah, quite sad and it was 
simply his maternal 

122
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,700
great-grandfather was a man 
named George. 

123
00:07:21,700 --> 00:07:25,600
Jay Bates, who was a republican?
Republican Congressman in Salem.

124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,100
Massachusetts. 
He served from 1924 to 1937, I 

125
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:31,000
kind of only ring that up. 
So interesting. 

126
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,300
Yeah, I could only bring it up 
because we're from 

127
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:34,500
Massachusetts. 
Yeah, I used to live in Salem. 

128
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:37,300
Yeah, and I bet I had like, kind
of no bearing on his life 

129
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,400
interested, I just want that. 
So he grew up on Irish Catholic 

130
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,500
Altar boy, who attended Catholic
School, kind of seems like it. 

131
00:07:46,500 --> 00:07:49,500
Hmm, at seven years old. 
He joined a sketch, comedy group

132
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:52,200
called The Rugrats. 
How old 70? 

133
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,600
It's quite young. 
Yeah, so he's been doing this 

134
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,100
stuff for a long time and that 
led him to actually be To 

135
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:02,900
audition for the role of Kevin 
and Home Alone. 

136
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,100
Mmm, it's parents turned it 
down. 

137
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,500
Oh, so he could have had a very 
different life. 

138
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:09,900
Yeah, might be for the better 
though. 

139
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:12,800
Growing up. 
He was very obsessed with TV. 

140
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,300
And when take a bus to the 
Museum of broadcast 

141
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:18,500
Communications to watch old 
episodes of, I Love Lucy and The

142
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,800
Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
So he's really like getting 

143
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,400
himself cultured. 
Yeah. 

144
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,300
And he did School theater when 
he was a kid and at 13 years 

145
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:32,200
old, he began Drinking and 
partying and using drugs 

146
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,400
throughout his teenage years. 
Yeah, 13. 

147
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,299
That's young, very young. 
Like at that age. 

148
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,700
You really don't know how to 
like control yourself. 

149
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,700
Yeah, I mean I guess some kids 
did that in my hometown at that 

150
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:49,100
age but that is really young. 
Yeah and a lot of the kids I who

151
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:53,700
I can think of who started that 
early did end up having problems

152
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,600
with it and so did John. 
So that was an issue throughout 

153
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,000
his adolescence but that Didn't 
prevent him from doing well, 

154
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,700
academically. 
He ended up going to Georgetown 

155
00:09:04,700 --> 00:09:08,500
University, which is where his 
parents both went and men, and 

156
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:12,000
he majored in English, and 
minored in Theology and was in 

157
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
an improv group. 
Hmm. 

158
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:17,700
And after graduating in 2004, he
then moved to New York City and 

159
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:20,700
worked as an office assistant at
Comedy Central where he was 

160
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:23,000
mostly responsible for the 
phones. 

161
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,600
He tells a story that while 
working there, he then received 

162
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,800
a call that Dave Chappelle at 
the time he was doing a comedy 

163
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,900
special ended up abandoning his 
show. 

164
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,900
And so John was responsible for 
breaking the news to the 

165
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,400
executives. 
There are Comedy Central and 

166
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,300
they then tried to make him fly 
to LA, to go get the tapes of 

167
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:43,300
the show. 
But for whatever reason John was

168
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:46,100
like, no, I'm not doing that. 
And then he quit I do I kind of 

169
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:51,700
don't get why I like seems like 
a free trip to Ella and I don't 

170
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:53,300
know. 
So for some reason, he quit 

171
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:56,400
after that and then he just did 
freelance stand-up comedy. 

172
00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:01,200
But around the time also his 
addiction was quite God, and it 

173
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,900
was pretty serious. 
So he started he entered 

174
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,800
recovery for drugs and alcohol 
to get sober. 

175
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,000
And he said about this time, I 
quit drinking because I used to 

176
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,900
drink too much and then I would 
black out and I would ruin 

177
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,900
parties or so, I was told when 
when you do that enough, when 

178
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:19,300
you black out drinking and you 
do crazy things, you kind of 

179
00:10:19,300 --> 00:10:22,200
become like Michael Jackson like
any story. 

180
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,800
Anyone says about you might be 
true and you don't even know by 

181
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,600
the end. 
All right, I have to stop that. 

182
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,500
Episode there. 
I'm so sorry to end it on a 

183
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,600
cliffhanger but if you'd like to
