Tony Hale: Practice Contentment Where You Are
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 січ 2022
- Tony Hale (Veep, Arrested Development, Toy Story 4, Being the Ricardos, Clifford The Big Red Dog, Archibald’s Next Big Thing) discusses the impact a chronic, invisible condition can have on mental health. He explains how living with severe asthma shifted his worldview and contributed to his anxiety and panic attacks, and the consequences of living life in a state of constant vigilance. Tony opens up about how being bullied led him to build a comedic defense system, why he loves connecting with others who share his condition, and the importance of seeing yourself in other people. Mayim and Tony bond over the role faith plays in their mental wellness, learning to practice contentment, and the similarities between cognitive behavioral therapy and meditation. Mayim highlights ways to calm your mind when communicating with difficult people in another installment of Moments of Peace & Calm.

2 great quotes!! "If you're not practicing contentment where you are, you're not going to be content when you get what you want" - Tony Hale "You spot it, you got it" - Mayim Bialik
Speaking about asthma, anxiety and panic attacks, as a mom of a boy who suffered in his early childhood some very severe episodes of Croup Syndrom, to the point to end almost always at ER with pale or bluish around his mouth, barely breathing till an epinephrin shot, the amount of anxiety triggered watching your son not breathing is close to a panic attack and much worse than if you were yourself who does not breathe.
I have come to adore this lady. I have great respect for her and what her podcast/show is providing. Thank you, Ms.Bialik.
I remember Tony Hale really well from Arrested Development. It is so awesome that you have him on your podcast. These podcasts have the ability to help so many people with mental health. You are doing an amazing job with these podcast Mayim. I have found them really enjoyable to watch!
Absolutely, Thank You So Much! ❤
This was honestly one of my favorites! The comment you made about the music flowing over you and you picking ONLY what you needed can be really helpful not only to those you've mentioned but also to a ruminator. And another thought, we should have inhalers alongside fire extinguishers and first aid kits in every public building. I'm for real... I mean, it's so not fair for someone to go through that fear alone and the rest of us not knowing how to help. Anyway, great show, thanks for sharing Tony Hale with us, Mayim, YOU ROCK!!
Lovely ideas and tools...
Lyrical and Practical.
Once in a while, for whatever reason, Jonathan will barely say anything during an episode, but that is pretty rare. You two always include include a little levity and banter in the intro and outro. Suffice it to say, after two episodes with no Jonathan at all; his presence, his perspective and his voice are missed very much! Hope he is well and back soon.
I really enjoyed your discussion with Tony Hale today. You have a way of uplifting and making each individual that you interview shine. It is not their fame or who they know that is so interesting; it's how relatable they are as they share their personal stories. Thank you, Mayim.
Tony Hale!! I didn't know I could love him more. He seems like such a great and down to earth person.
As a side, thanks for bringing us Buster Bluth. My family is always particularly so impressed with the acting it took to play him.
What a beautiful interview. I come from a similar faith background as Tony, & I love how he explained the path from “religion as formula” to actual relationship with God. That really is refreshing to see, & I love how Mayim is able to have these kinds of conversations with people from all or no faith backgrounds.
Now I want to watch Veep so I can see Tony’s work!
I so agree. I needed to hear this.
Tony Hale is so amazing, I especially loved him in Veep. He just seems like one of the most genuine people out there.
I love every single one of your podcasts but this one and the ones with Wil Wheaton & Bill Prady have a special place in my heart!
He really is. I had no idea he was so DEEP
Mysterious Benedict Society is wonderful. My husband and I are 50 we don't have kids, but we really enjoyed it. It's so hard to find entertainment that is not so violent that it's triggering, but Tony Hale has found this wonderful place where the story telling is exciting and even dark at times, but it's not horrific. It's just good fun. Good for all ages. Loved this whole discussion. Thanks so much.
Jerry Seinfeld has a wonderful way of referring to training the inner puppy. He says: “Your brain is a Schnauzer. Your mind is eternal, beautiful, and perfect. But your brain is a Schnauzer. And your job is to train the Schnauzer.” Essentially, to become a channel for your mind (or Mind) to come through. Jerry is a longtime practitioner of TM, as many people know.
Great episode. As a person with asthma since 1969 (get a flu shot, kids, my asthma developed as an aftereffect of the flu), who has also had panic attacks, I loved this episode and Tony Hale. Mayim’s excellent question about how the idea of a loving God fits into the picture of suffering is a universal one, and I’d love to see this addressed in another episode. ❤️
Hello Mayim's channel....where have you been all my life. I am loving these interviews. You are my new bestie! I can take you every where!! I can fall asleep with you, and you can keep me company while I do laundry and clean the house!!! Keep em coming!!! I love yah!!!
Mayim, I love u more and more with each passing episode. NOT because they're passing but because of how they enrich my life. Much gratitude to you and Jonathan.
Oh Wow. I've had asthma my whole life and I actually cried watching this because you put into words what I could not. I just lived with the fact that at any moment something would make me have an asthma attack and could kill me. Thank you for this great interview Mayim, I'm really enjoying your channel. Tony is a GEM!!!! I could listen to him all day. Teach me, o great one. :)
An attitude of gratitude and let that gratitude change how you love and treat others
Such a ah ah moment. When mentioning not being present or always looking ahead
Tony's wide, expressive eyes emanate kindness. I must often remind myself our value is not intrinsic to what we do but to our hearts. That's why he found Arrested Development didn't sate him. He had to find satisfaction within.
nailed it yet again ❤️ i was diagnosed wirh systemic lupus erythematosus at 20. along with that came a bunch of stuff, including 3 types of anemia. when i have theses attacks, my hemoglobin drops severely-i'm talking down to a 3.4 (on average, sometimes lower, or sometimes it's a 4). THAT fear of "shit, it's happening, gonna be in the hospital any day now", is so fucking frustrating. it's anxiety, YES, but it's also ANGER. you feel betrayed by your own body. even when you're not thinking about it, you're thinking about it. loved this. love you 💪🏼💯
I've always thought Tony Hale was hilarious onscreen & as well his acting chops in "Being The Ricardos" really shine. But observing his natural behavior in blooper reels from various things (available here on UA-cam) is what more deeply informed my genuine appreciation of him. Having watched this conversation, I now believe he would be a great friend. He seems like an authentically good soul in addition to having a wonderfully wry sense of humor. I think that the people who get to have him in their lives are very fortunate. Another great podcast Mayim & Jonathan, thanks!
Mayim Thank you for the word "Contentment" in this episode's title. I Adore you for this incredible Podcast of yours. What a rich rich program of honesty you cultivate here. Thanks be to our Sweet Holy Spirit, God and my beloved Jesus for YOU!! (Oh and by the way, these 3 guys are incredibly Fond of You Mayim) 💜🙏🎥🎙🎧✝️😘🇨🇦
You are in such a glorious position to meet and interact with these amazing people! I know you do not take it for granted. I can imagine you having thought provoking conversations for hours if time allowed.
Thank you for bringing these fantastic individuals to the podcast so as to share the wisdom and life experiences.
Hey..so great to devirtualize Erin, the fantastic woman who made possible my MBB merch internationally arrive! 😍
As an asthmatic one myself who became such as an adult due to bronchiectasis left in my lungs after chemo, I couldn’t agree more: we use to take for granted such a “simple” thing as breathing and when you’ve an asthma crisis the anxiety you feel is enormous and your inhaler become your most precious thing! Mind-body connection..in spite of you! Cancer never made me so anxious as asthma does!
I LOVE this episode! I love both of you for going where it took you. SO MUCH of what was discussed was in perfect congruence with lessons and experiences in my world. Thank you both so much for this moment of true connection. ❤
Pausing at about the halfway point here because I’m resonating with everything that’s being said on such a deep level I’m feeling emotional! I am an asthmatic person myself. Thankfully it’s much more mild since I’ve been an adult but as a child I suffered horribly from asthma. It never really occurred to me until just now that I was such an anxious child because of my condition. I had to go to the nurse at lunch every day for years to get nebulizer treatments and always had my inhaler on hand at sleepovers and during school. There’s absolutely a certain damage that’s caused by that constant fear at such a young age of, at its core, death. It occurs to me as I’m watching this that I developed social anxiety, massive stomach issues, and chronic pain around this time period of my life or shortly after and it’s wild how one “invisible condition” can cause such chaos in a young person’s life.
What a refreshing geniune soul! Thank you,Tony Hale! Many snippets of great wisdom here! ❤
Tony Hale, my favorite Arrested Development character (although, they were all amazing). If you haven't seen The Mysterious Benedict Society, he wasn't blowing smoke. It is wonderful!
It's always wonderful to get to know a celebrity a little bit on a real world level. So much to think about!
Thanks, Erin, for bringing up the connection between allergies and asthma. It can be an extremely close connection that I hope more medical professionals approach with their patients. Also, learning how to focus and calm yourself down during an attack. The mind/body connection is strong! Thank you for your informative and fun videos!
Love the variety of people you bring to these podcasts. Sorry, Tony, I didn’t know about you until Benedict Society tho. My little sister and I both have asthma. She started as a baby and had many trips to the ER in the middle of the night. Mine came on preteen after a bout of pneumonia. I always say it feels like an elephant sitting on your chest. I wish more people realized that perfumes and many types of scents trigger asthma attacks, even if it’s a scent you like. Of course my parent's friends smoked around us without thinking too. Thankfully as an adult I have gotten expert at avoiding allergens. Thanks for thoughtful content.
Thank you for all you do for others!
I loved this interview. He is so precious!!
Proud of you, Tony!
I just finished listening to this and had to comment. I was diagnosed with asthma at 7 months old and was hospitalized almost yearly as a child with asthma induced pneumonia until I was about 12 or 13 years old. As I grew into adulthood my asthma lessened in severity but was still excersize induced. I am 44 years old now and about 3 years ago I came across Patrick McKeowns you tube channel. He teaches breathing through your nose and how it can eliminate some asthma symptoms. I started breathing through my nose whenever possible (btw, very difficult at first) and trained myself to excersize this way as well and have not used my rescue Inhaler ever since. I know everyone is different and this may not work the same for everyone but it has changed my life! So I felt compelled to share.
Perfect timing!
Great questions and incredibly grateful for Tony’s honesty about his perspective. It’s helped make sense of a lot of feelings I have.

Fantastic episode! I love that you were able to apply your tools and come to a place of serenity from rage. There were so many beautiful moments throughout, but that was very special.
Superb podcast, new appreciation for Tony Hale.
My brother and sister both have Asthma. When I had COVID I finally understood what it was like for them.
Really good conversation. I like Tom expresses himself. Good job!
Such a great episode. Especially the talk about faith/trust
It was interesting when Mayim asked Tony if his kid had asthma and if he could imagine, etc. That was very touching because while I don't even know if I want kids someday, I have certainly thought about the impact my anxiety might have on their development and whether I would be passing that anxiety on. That anxious energy of always thinking and planning the next 10 things that I see in my grandma a lot, and in my mom, and a little less so but in me too... ❤
Hey Mayim, love ur show. You have really helped me with my daughter and her mental health! Could you have a chat about the mental health of students under pressure from school life? Thanks also I watched Call Me Kat last night and I SO needed a great lol 💕💕💐💐
I hope your daughter is doing well. ❤ I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder by first year of college, even had to drop out by my second semester because it caused me to become hospitalized. It's called Behcet's disease and it is like having the characteristics of Lupus, Crohns and MS in one. A huge factor that can cause this I learned was stress and I was so overwhelmed and stressed out my first year of college. I started to learn so much about mental health after this and have been in a remission state for years. I'm so happy you are helping your daughter out with her mental health because it is crazy what poor mental health and stress can lead to and school can be so overwhelming at any grade.
Wow! Just wow, I will never look at Tony Hale the same again.
This episode is hitting me on so many levels. I’ve been an asthmatic since birth, basically.
Very awesome you brought tony hale to the podcast. I remember him on veep. Such a funny show
Stop cutting people off or changing the subject when it comes to someone else describing how their faith works in their life. Acknowledge it, be glad for someone having that. Yeshua isn't your enemy.
On another point, thank you, genuinely, for having this guest on. I related to and learned (both) so much from him.
Thank you for mentioning Crohns. I have suffered crohns since 1978. It has thrown everything at me.
You're amazing! 🌻
Wonderful show!
My favourite episode by far he is amazing he describes ashma and God brilliantly 👏 ❤
i love this podcast so much
Loved it
Watching this episode and quoting his movie Love Simon
Faith in Life, Beauty, the
Universe......
Makes great sense to me...
I think for a lot of people, seeing the great harms done by the religious extremism, the warring tribalism between religions and sects within religion...when people try to make religion Law, it's not a crutch...it's a crime.
So when people have
Faith without pushing their religion on society or other individuals, I believe it can be very Beneficial and Beautiful.
Plz ask the crew to continue The Big Bang Theory and your role as Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, which was an excellent role.
By the way , I am serious about restarting the masterpiece series .
I will be very thankful to you if you grant my wish 🤞.
😀😀
Miyam, I love you and Jonathan and ALL your podcasts!!!!! This one was super!!! I could personally relate to you (sort of) as my parents were both first generation Americans. Born of Italian immigrant PEASANTS and German and Russian blue collar workers. And unfortunately even though my father had a masters degree and my mother went to an adult education business school, they raised us kids basically very backwards and actually with neglect. My parents were dictators. Children were to be seen and NOT heard EVER!!! And I do mean all my life!!! We were NOT loved unconditionally and my parents were NEVER my friends. (Their choice.) I’ve had issues all my life and my parents blamed me completely for any problems I had growing up. I’ve always wondered where the heck were they…..while they were raising me????? They were the educated adults! They were the grown ups! And I can count on 1 or maybe 2 fingers how many apologies I got from them in my entire life. And like your parents mine were ALWAYS RIGHT!!!When my mom was older, I used to ask her if she ever wondered why 3 of her 4 children moved about as far away as they could from where they were raised-from her…..my mother had no comment. In the end I took care of my aging mother all by myself. I did the best I could and really enjoyed doing it most of the time considering she NEVER CHANGED and was not very nice to me. I did a good job and I liked doing it and indirectly I think it saved my sanity. And what’s really sad is my parents were very good people…..to each other and their many friends and society. But NOT to their children! Such a waste of what should be some very special relationships!

If you have not seen Mysterious Benedict Society, you should absolutely watch it.
Re:peace speaking aloud & using your name helps your brain. I learned in a podcast huberman(?) lab
Just Commenting for the algorithm 💛
And Looove Loove that Our beloved 🇨🇦 Bare Naked Ladies sing your Theme Song!!!🎶🎹🎙💞
If Erin should ever consider a career change, I think I‘d listen to her read a phone book. Very calming voice.
Hey Dr Bialik. I admit I also used to have asthma. Although I don't actually know if I still have but I haven't needed to use an inhalator for a while. I'm similar to Leonard from Big Bang Theory
💚💙
its baby buster!
hey Mayim, why don't you do an episode with Dr. Huberman . It would be awe-some
Better looking than David Schwimmer in my opinion :D
WHAT? Tony Hale. I love his work. I too have asthma as well as anxiety. I will be getting my first Xolair injection in March as the doc finally figure out what my triggers are. Turns out it's my immune system. Hmm. Yea, in isolation. Thanks COVID. Yay, for this podcast.
Mayim, who's the action figure next to the artist mannequin, in the background on this episode?!
****INTERVIEW**** Famous, funny, unique and quirky in a great way, a Woman who has her hands in and sights on everything geeky, nerdy, and dorky and not just myself would say she's Queen Bee of the chic gamer world, Felicia Day. She's a writer, producer, actress, UA-camr, Twitch streamer and damn the list goes on. She's shared some of her mental health struggles, it'd be cool to hear you two talk on it.
What would a society look like if there was a tradition of truth-telling at funerals? What if people knew that at their funerals it was expected for everyone to speak of all of their deeds, good and bad?
👍👍
my bet friend also Eastern European Jew had severe asthma and died from it . She was 55.
Mayim would you please invite Maz Jobrani ?
Can we put Tony Hale's "we are all going to die and your legacy is you're a douchebag" into a meme or a badge or even a t.shirt. I'm going to need several!... boxes!

Love your interviews and hate how you talk about Johnathan, even in jest. And I’m not the only one to notice. Wake up Mayim.
****INTERVIEW**** Famous and funny educational mortician UA-camr, writer, and positive progressive changer of the death industry "Ask A Mortician" Caitlin Doughty. She's talked about her anxiety and insecurities a little on her channel and in her books, I'd love to hear her thoughts on mental health. Thanks.
Heeeeyy buddy
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Most asthmatic people and people with sever allergies (epi-pen carriers) that I know are anxious people - for good reason.
Too many interruptions in the worst timing!! Ads !
I only know him from the Clifford movie 🎥 LOL 😂 sorry dude. David Schiwmer is not good looking you, look better
