SPEAKER_11
I've been trying to write a promo for our podcast, Part-Time Genius, but even though we've done over 250 episodes, we don't really talk about murders or cults.
0
SPEAKER_12
I mean, we did just cover the Illuminati of cheese, so I feel like that makes us pretty edgy.
0
SPEAKER_12
We also solve mysteries like how Chinese is your Chinese food and how do dollar stores make money?
0
SPEAKER_12
And then, of course, can you game a dog show?
0
SPEAKER_12
So what you're saying is everyone should be listening.

Looking back on it, I knew when I looked at the page and saw the name Sam Seaborn, I had, now knowing what I know, I know I had, it's that tingling, it's that feeling, it's that fantasy, whatever you want to call it, what it actually is,
0
SPEAKER_10
 is a vision, a voice, whatever you want to call it.
0
SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02
 And today I feel super grateful and honored because we have none other than Rob Lowe.

His two memoirs, Stories I Only Tell My Friends, and I've got some excerpts I wanna share with Rob that I absolutely love, and Love Life, are both New York Times bestsellers.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_02
Now, Rob is hosting and producing Fox's Mental Samurai, also recently starred in and produced Fox's highly anticipated 9-1-1 Lone Star.

0
SPEAKER_02
Welcome to the show, Rob Lowe.
0
SPEAKER_10
Rob, thank you for doing this.
0
SPEAKER_10
 Thank you.
0
SPEAKER_10
I'm exhausted just from listening to all the things that I've done.
0
SPEAKER_10
I think I need a nap.
0
SPEAKER_10
Good night.
0
SPEAKER_10
It's about time you take a break, Rob, I think.
0
SPEAKER_02
But you just started a new podcast.
0
SPEAKER_02
I just want to say thank you for taking the time, but also just it's so wonderful that we share so many mutual friends.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I'm excited to connect with you today.
0
SPEAKER_02
You've lived an incredible life.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I think that so much is to be learned and gained from your experiences.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I'm grateful that you're going to share them openly with our audience today.
0
SPEAKER_10
 You're very kind.
0
SPEAKER_10
Thank you.
0
SPEAKER_10
I appreciate that.
0
SPEAKER_02
Awesome.
0
SPEAKER_02
Well, I want to start off on some different tangents.
0
SPEAKER_02
I try and do this with people that have such well-known careers as well.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I heard that since you were a little boy, you loved spooky legends and scary mysteries and mysterious creatures.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I'm curious to know what's one of your favorite legends and why.
0
SPEAKER_10
OK.
0
SPEAKER_10
We're going to go down the wormhole right off the bat.
0
SPEAKER_10
 I remember one of my earliest, not earliest memories, but I can remember being like eight and nine years old and writing files of Bigfoot sightings and keeping like a little file cabinet.
0
SPEAKER_10
I don't know what I thought I was, like some Indiana Jones of the supernatural, but I still love all that.
0
SPEAKER_10
I'm obsessed with
0
SPEAKER_10
 Bigfoot and, you know, aliens and all.
0
SPEAKER_10
I just, I love it.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I've over the years realized why I love it is because it truly is the unknowable.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I love oral traditions that have been passed down from
0
SPEAKER_10
 from ancestors to current day.
0
SPEAKER_10
And there are certain things in the oral tradition world that show up again and again and again and again and again, however incredible they may seem.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I love to try to get to the bottom of why that is.
0
SPEAKER_10
So that interest sort of, you know, I still have it today.
0
SPEAKER_10
Area 51, every time I go to Vegas, I watch the specially marked planes take off and go there.
0
SPEAKER_10
I've never been there, but I have been to the
0
SPEAKER_10
 They say that that is like the false flag version.
0
SPEAKER_10
Like that's the one that they want to draw everybody's attention to, but where the really good stuff happens is in Utah.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I can't remember the name of it, but I did an episode of The Low Files where I went there with my boys.
0
SPEAKER_10
Basically, The Low Files is a show you can still get on, I think, iTunes.
0
SPEAKER_10
 really an excuse for me to just hang out with my boys in a souped-up Scooby-Doo pickup truck and cruise around looking for stupid stuff like that.
0
SPEAKER_10
And we actually went to what was supposedly the real Area 51.
0
SPEAKER_10
Didn't see one thing.
0
SPEAKER_10
Not one thing.
0
SPEAKER_10
Well, then it's super secret.
0
SPEAKER_02
Tell me about that, actually, because you speak a lot about fatherhood and spending time with your boys.
0
SPEAKER_02
What's been the latest adventure you've been able to go on with them that you think's been meaningful?
0
SPEAKER_10
 Oh, for sure the latest adventure is becoming an empty nester, mourning, literally mourning that loss, and then cycling through the amazing satisfaction of them on their own lives.
0
SPEAKER_10
Then, them being right back in the house with COVID.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_10
And all of a sudden we are,
0
SPEAKER_10
 like spending more time together now than we did when they were in high school.
0
SPEAKER_10
Because right in the last four months, we spent more time than we ever did.
0
SPEAKER_10
Because in the middle of the day, they would always go to school, obviously, when they were kids and babies.
0
SPEAKER_10
So living with your grown kids is a real learning experience.
0
SPEAKER_10
And it's great, but you realize,
0
SPEAKER_10
 you know, 20, mid 20 something men were not built to live with mommy.
0
SPEAKER_10
And, or daddy, I don't mean that in a sexist way.
0
SPEAKER_10
They're, you know, they're meant to be out conquering the world and doing their thing.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I bet you it's very, very challenging for them and they've been champs.
0
SPEAKER_10
They've been just champs.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I'll take every minute I get.
0
SPEAKER_10
So it's good for me.
0
SPEAKER_02
 I love that.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah, no, I'm sure a lot of parents will be happy hearing the challenge and how difficult it is because it's been so common for so many people, especially with children that are older and children that expect to be out there and about and all of that.
0
SPEAKER_02
But let's go back to yours.
0
SPEAKER_02
 your childhood or your earlier days of what people may not be aware of your story or my audience may not be.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I wanna hear about why you didn't go to UCLA because you have such an interesting story.
0
SPEAKER_02
And I think it's a fascinating one.
0
SPEAKER_02
So I'd love for my community to hear it.
0
SPEAKER_10
Well, so I always wanted to be an actor.
0
SPEAKER_10
I was blessed with what I've now come to realize was an actual vision of
0
SPEAKER_10
 my future at eight years old and started in like community theater and local school productions and, you know, like just a young acting nerd.
0
SPEAKER_10
And then through life circumstances, my family split up.
0
SPEAKER_10
My mom moved us West.
0
SPEAKER_10
We eventually ended up in California.
0
SPEAKER_10
 having nothing to do with me or my aspirations.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I started a little career and I had jobs here and there and got to be a teenager and then it all dried up and it was over.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I thought, well, maybe this isn't my destiny and what do I do now?
0
SPEAKER_10
And I'd had this bout of early success at 15, 16,
0
SPEAKER_10
 And so it was kind of, I had to reconcile with, was I not good enough?
0
SPEAKER_10
There were people telling me it was purely an age thing.
0
SPEAKER_10
In fact, not to bore you, but it's a significant part of the story.
0
SPEAKER_10
When you make movies and TV, when actors get to be 16, 17, 18 years old, they don't get hired.
0
SPEAKER_10
They hire 18 year olds to play those ages
0
SPEAKER_10
 because of the labor laws.
0
SPEAKER_10
18-year-olds can work all day.
0
SPEAKER_10
The other ages cannot.
0
SPEAKER_10
So there was a chance that it was the labor laws.
0
SPEAKER_02
 It was the labor laws.
0
SPEAKER_02
Definitely, Rob.
0
SPEAKER_02
It was the labor laws.
0
SPEAKER_10
We love you.
0
SPEAKER_10
Really, we'd love to hire you, but it's the labor laws, kid.
0
SPEAKER_10
So I decided, you know, my other passion was the law, like my father, and incidentally, like my oldest son, now a lawyer, and marine biology.
0
SPEAKER_10
 And so I was studying marine biology and loving it, and I was going to be a marine biologist.
0
SPEAKER_10
And there was one casting director.
0
SPEAKER_10
I was still auditioning, wasn't getting anything.
0
SPEAKER_10
And there was one casting director who was very supportive and just said, just give it to your 18.
0
SPEAKER_10
Just give it to your 18.
0
SPEAKER_10
I was like, great.
0
SPEAKER_10
So I applied to USC and UCLA to their film schools.
0
SPEAKER_10
 and got accepted.
0
SPEAKER_10
And on the day where I had to like officially apply, I got the job in Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsider on my 18th birthday.
0
SPEAKER_10
And the rest was sort of what I did.
0
SPEAKER_10
That was the path.
0
SPEAKER_02
What I love about that is the
0
SPEAKER_02
 the timing of you at 15, 16 having to start questioning yourself and dealing with failure and dealing with rejection, that's a very early age to face it after having had some success too.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then for it to all turn around in two years and begin a new journey again.
0
SPEAKER_02
 Do you think that, and as a father too, do you think that we expose children to failure too young or too late?
0
SPEAKER_02
And what are the kind of benefits that you gained from having to go through that at that age?
0
SPEAKER_10
That's such a great question.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I'm so passionate about these kinds of talks because, like I said, I loved raising my boys and continue to.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I actually think we expose them too late to failure in our
0
SPEAKER_10
 iteration of parenting.
0
SPEAKER_10
I'm from a very different generation.
0
SPEAKER_10
I was raised in the late 60s and into the crazy 70s.
0
SPEAKER_10
Now everybody wants to reverse engineer everything for success for our kids, and I'm as guilty of it as anybody.
0
SPEAKER_10
But my parents
0
SPEAKER_10
 you know, literally threw me to the wolves.
0
SPEAKER_10
Like, they were like, I don't know, go do it, whatever, come home when the sun sets.
0
SPEAKER_10
You know, and so you have to navigate your way very much more than we do today.
0
SPEAKER_10
And for me, you know, when I would have to get on, go after school, get on the public, the bus, and take it for 22 miles,
0
SPEAKER_10
 get off, wait for another bus, take that bus into downtown LA, get off that bus, take another bus to Hollywood, check myself into the meeting, sit in the waiting room, go in, have the meeting, audition in front of somebody, be judged, turn around, take all those buses back, doing my homework, have dinner and go to sleep and wake up and go to school at 12 and 13.
0
SPEAKER_10
 My wife wouldn't let my kids get on a bus at all.
0
SPEAKER_10
True.
0
SPEAKER_10
At 12.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_10
So it's just a really different mindset.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I'm really grateful that I was able to have that sort of crazy freedom that we would never let our kids do today.
0
SPEAKER_05
 When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.
0
SPEAKER_04
That's where The Bright Side comes in.

SPEAKER_08
 That was great fun!
0
SPEAKER_08
Cowie, what do you say?
0
SPEAKER_08
It was!
0
SPEAKER_13
And that time when we did the science experiment and Billy made raisins dance!
0
SPEAKER_13
That is so cool, Billy!
0
SPEAKER_08
He did!
0
SPEAKER_08
Not to mention when a certain Elliot took up swimming classes with Lisa.

0
SPEAKER_12
Guess what, Bango?
0
SPEAKER_12
What's that, Will?
0
SPEAKER_12
So iHeart is giving us a whole minute to promote our podcast, Part-Time Genius.
0
SPEAKER_11
 I know, that's why I spent my whole week composing a haiku for the occasion.
0
SPEAKER_11
It's about my emotional journey in podcasting over the last seven years, and it's called Earthquake House.
0
SPEAKER_12
Mango, I'm going to cut you off right there.
0
SPEAKER_11
Why don't we just tell people about our show instead?
0
SPEAKER_11
Yeah, that's a better idea.
0
SPEAKER_11
So every week on Part-Time Genius, we feed our curiosity by answering the world's most important questions.
0
SPEAKER_11
Things like, when did America start dialing 911?
0
SPEAKER_11
Is William Shatner's best acting work in Esperanto?
0
SPEAKER_11
Also, what happened to Esperanto?
0
SPEAKER_12
 Plus, we cover questions like how Chinese is your Chinese food?
0
SPEAKER_12
How do dollar stores stay in business?
0
SPEAKER_12
And of course, is there an Illuminati of cheese?
0
SPEAKER_11
There absolutely is.
0
SPEAKER_11
And we are risking our lives by talking about it.
0
SPEAKER_11
But if you love mind-blowing facts, incredible history and really bad jokes, make your brains happy and tune in to Part-Time Genius.
0
SPEAKER_12
Listen to Part-Time Genius on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
0
SPEAKER_02
 It's so hard, I guess.
0
SPEAKER_02
I'm not a parent yet, and that's partly why I'm asking it, because I feel like when you're not a parent, it's really easy to say like, oh yeah, I wanna give my kids the freedom, and I wanna have, you know, you can have all these principles.
0
SPEAKER_02
And then when I'm speaking to a real parent, and I hear that, and then you start to empathize with the fact that, oh no, we get so much into like control and protecting and defending and wanting to kind of, you know, I remember I had some friends back in London who, I think their daughter was like two years old,
0
SPEAKER_02
 and and she would like be running around in the corner and she'd be playing with like candles and like putting a hand over candles and like you know burning like and and i'd always be like do you want me to go grab your kid and they were like no just just leave her like let her you know i was like what are you sure and and they just had and i'm not recommending that as a strategy to any parents i'm just saying they had that freedom that they were trying to train their kid what do you think it was for you that
0
SPEAKER_02
 pushed you forward to keep going on, A, to look into law, but what gave you the mental resilience to go back to that audition at 18, to go back into that world?
0
SPEAKER_10
What I do, every part of what I do, books, TV, public speaking, touring, all of it, the dirty little secret is that I would do it for free.
0
SPEAKER_10
Do not take me up on that.
0
SPEAKER_10
I like money.
0
SPEAKER_10
 But so I think if you have that, if you're lucky enough, if you're lucky enough to have that in your life, there's never even a question of what you're gonna do.
0
SPEAKER_10
There's never a question for me of what I was gonna do.
0
SPEAKER_10
The only time that question arose is when doing what I wanted to do, I was stymied.
0
SPEAKER_10
And that happens all the time, by the way, still happens.
0
SPEAKER_02
 Just so everyone knows, if I ask questions quickly, it's because I'm paying Rob by the minute for this podcast.
0
SPEAKER_10
I demand Bitcoin.
0
SPEAKER_10
Thank you very much.
0
SPEAKER_10
 Wait, how do you find it though?
0
SPEAKER_10
Like, as somebody who's so- What's happening with my hair?
0
SPEAKER_10
Your hair looks great.
0
SPEAKER_10
Something's going on with the hair and I'm not, it's COVID hair.
0
SPEAKER_10
Wait, okay.
0
SPEAKER_10
I was actually- All right, now we can continue.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was actually admiring your hair.
0
SPEAKER_02
I was going to ask you who your barber or hairdresser was because that's good hair, right?
0
SPEAKER_02
I need some tips.
0
SPEAKER_02
I like it.
0
SPEAKER_02
 As someone who's so sure about what they wanted to do from such an early age, so much surety has gone and achieved it and beyond and probably gone beyond what you imagined too and just what you've created.
0
SPEAKER_02
Do you find that today, especially with your children as well, you said your eldest is a lawyer, today I find so many people are struggling with finding what they wanted.
0
SPEAKER_02
 There's a lot of challenge of purpose.
0
SPEAKER_02
There's a lack of understanding where to put my attention and energy.
0
SPEAKER_02
And like, Rob, where do I start?
0
SPEAKER_02
And I get this question a lot from my community.
0
SPEAKER_02
And that's why I'm bringing it up to you is because I feel like, especially for a lot of young people growing up right now, A, there's so many options.
0
SPEAKER_02
 there's so much comparison because you can see how many followers everyone has and how many dances everyone does on TikTok and all the rest of it.
0
SPEAKER_02
And it's overwhelming.
0
SPEAKER_02
And people go, you know, where do I start?
0
SPEAKER_02
How different is that from the 80s and 90s or 2000?
0
SPEAKER_02
How different was it at your time?
0
SPEAKER_02
Or actually were you like, Jay, you know, I was comparing myself too.
0
SPEAKER_02
Like I was feeling the same way.
0
SPEAKER_10
Well, first of all, in terms of the culture and in terms of
0
SPEAKER_10
 the sort of prism through which adolescents, young people judge themselves against their peers is incomparably different than what we had.
0
SPEAKER_10
And yet the core stuff is exactly the same.
0
SPEAKER_10
And I picked a business
0
SPEAKER_10
 where it's 100% predicated on a judgment criteria that you will never fully understand.
0
SPEAKER_10
So it's one thing to go into a job as an accountant, a lawyer, a doctor, a realtor, a dentist, whatever the hell it is, and you go in and you don't get the job, you know there's a tangible reason.
0
SPEAKER_10
 When an actor or a creative person goes in, first of all, they're gonna lie to you all the time.
0
SPEAKER_10
And what you realize is, having been now on the other side of it, of casting and producing and making content, you realize it's never personal, never, ever.
