Josh Gad on His Kids’ Obsession with Encanto, Being on Curb Your Enthusiasm & New Show Wolf Like Me

Josh talks about his children being obsessed with Encanto, finally understanding why the songs from Frozen drove parents crazy, trying to get his kids to stop singing “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” Larry David calling him to ask him to be on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” accidentally medicating himself before shooting the episode, his new show “Wolf Like Me” on Peacock, and singing Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over.”

Even though Josh Gad didn’t star in Encanto, at least he’s keeping track of Disney’s animated films that he never took part of and watching it with his own kids. Therefore, Olaf is keeping up to speed with his predecessors AND successors.

Frozen Dominated the 2014 2015 and 2016 talent shows I performed in. It was hell hearing 100+ contestants sing it over and over. These were monthly talent shows held by mall so that's like 3,600+ times I heard Let It Go from Frozen not including while at home.

OMG CROWDED HOUSE IS IN AGAIN! All of us in Australia totally grew up on them! "Weather With You' is their best though!

[@ashleystearns2486]

I’m going to take a shot (without having consulted Neil Finn) at interpreting these lyrics. Folks who meditate get it. ‘There is freedom within’ refers to the quieting of the mind, the perpetual now; ‘there is freedom without,’ once you’ve mastered being able to turn your thoughts off and be present here and now you are no longer at the mercy of them and the ways in which they make you [mis]behave; ‘try to catch the deluge in a paper cup’ refers, I believe, to our time/space limitations of mind and our inability to comprehend the greater consciousness with our own ordinary, time-and-space bound tiny piece of it. We cannot truly understand the infinite because we don’t come equipped with a tool of similar dimension that can contain it objectively. ‘There's a battle ahead’ = every moment of engagement is an opportunity to practice not being at the mercy of your thoughts (this dharma, or the work. Zen practitioners even pledge to face each dharma battle even though not all will be won: “Creations are numberless, I vow to free them. Delusions are inexhaustible, I vow to put and end to them. Dharmas are boundless, I vow to perceive them. The enlightened way is unsurpassable, I vow to embody it.” ‘Many battles are lost.’ See previous note, above; ‘But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me’ recognizes this work is perpetual and requires a commitment to the journey to enlightenment only. … ‘Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win.’ ‘They’ are dharma gates, our challenges to perfecting the harnessing of our minds, which are endless. We can even reach beyond our ordinary consciousness as yogis and other mystics do (‘transcend’ ordinary consciousness), but our endless journey is a regular, robust meditation practice because devoting one’s life to this endeavor is a fool’s errand; you are here, with your time-space limitations, for a reason, and it isn’t to be separated by *anything* - anger, jealousy, hatred, or the distractions of your own powerful mind (‘walls between us’) - but to be here, now, which is an endless, timeless quest until you die. So ‘Don’t dream it’s over.’ Just practice, train your mind; say only what is kind, helpful, or necessary, and be grateful for your presence in this moment, which is the only thing that is real. 🙏

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

My oldest granddaughter who is only 20, saw The Wizard of Oz when she was 2. We looked everywhere for that movie on DVD. Finally found it at a thrift store. Needless to say I never want to see that movie again. She was obsessed with it until age 13. Her bedroom was done in all things to do with that movie. Expensive 16x20 framed pics the whole thing. Now all this crap is in totes in her dad's basement. Didn't get passed down, the younger kids weren't into it.

[@ZennExile]

@@eneobande7433 does it make you feel good to know this man's children are in imminent threat of losing their dad to heart disease because he's morbidly obese and looking like he's struggling just to hold up a conversation? Is that what you want? You want him to die so you can pretend online that you supported his grieving family through his tragic death? Because that's what it seems like. It seems you can't wait for him to die so you can say you supported him through his obesity problem on your social media feed. Maybe you should put down your fork and start thinkin sht through, instead of choking the nearest plumbing system with it.

[@ZennExile]

@@user-Liy23 he's clearly morbidly obese and he will die because of it. Human hearts aren't designed to deal with obesity. So eventually, and probably soon, he won't still be here. And his kids are the ones who will pay for his lack of self control. That's why he should pay to have other people handle it for him. He clearly can't.
