Paul’s Ideal Family Vacation

This week on the pod, Seth and Josh welcome actor Paul Walter Hauser! Paul talks about growing up in Grand Rapids and Saginaw, Michigan, in a close-knit family with a pastor dad, and shares memories of childhood road trips, family reunions in Wisconsin, and vacations to Florida. He reflects on his early love of movies and comedy, including reaching out to Saturday Night Live and receiving encouragement from Akiva Schaffer and Bill Hader. Paul also discusses his passion for professional wrestling, stepping into the ring as his heel persona, “The Mercenary Paul Hauser,” and his upcoming matches in London. Plus, he talks about his satirical Boy Talk Talk Show and Resident Evil. Watch this episode on the Family Trips YouTube or Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
