It's actually really inspiring to see Miri changed her life in her late 30s. As a soon to be 27 year old it seems to me like I need to have everything figured out within 2 years, but I clearly don't. We're all just trying to figure out our way and sometimes that takes longer. And that's okay.

I studied too for my clinical psychology degree, and I love that you brought someone with this education who brings a new aspect to what’s happening with the strike and for movies. Thank you, Kristian.
MIRI! Takes me back to when people used to speculate about you two being married 😂😂😂 I miss her women in film show with Alicia Malone and Roth Cornet too. Good to see her 💝😁
Absolutely loved that show. Always eloquent, insightful, and empathetic viewpoints and conversations❗ Great to see Miri and Kristian together again. Both of them (especially Miri) are in such different places than in the Shmoes days. Hope she's able to come back soon, as there was so much great conversation, we barely scratched the surface !!!
I loved this nostalgia trip episode with Miri. There is no better qualified person than Miri to be a therapist. Kind, understanding and easy to talk to. Love her and wish her the best.
Seeing Miri again really puts a smile on my face. I'm glad that you're doing well after all these years. Its fitting bringing her in now during the strikes and have a conversation about mental health and the people that are affected by it. I personally struggle with MDD over the past few years. Getting Miri's insight on the whole thing is genuinely eye opening for me on a personal level. This is an awesome episode! Thank you for bringing Miri back Kristian.
Catching up on comments: This was one of my favorite episodes of The Big Thing EVER. It was so nice to see Miri doing so well and feeling happy, accomplished and fulfilled in her new career/life. Specifically, the section towards the end where you, Kristian open up about your own struggles and your conversation with Miri about manifestation, burn out and exhaustion was incredibly eye-opening and relatable for myself and I'm sure countless others. Love it.
Wow I just got my masters in forensic psych and really want to go into clinical psych in the future, had no clue Miri had this experience! Thanks for having her on this was an awesome reunion
It's so good to see Miri again! I'm glad to see she's doing well in her new career and a very important one at that. I hope she can make it on again whenever her schedule allows for it. I think Roxy, Steph, and Dorina should also have her on The Whirl Girls at some point. They frequently talk about mental health in addition to various topics. Miri would be an awesome guest over there.
This was a GREAT episode. I can see why Miri is a therapist now she seems so easy to talk to and kind and understanding. Sometimes a person can be talking about something very important but you just can seem to follow along but you genuinely want to listen to what she has to say. Keep up the excellent work.
So awesome to see you again Miri!!! Missed ya but so happy to hear your life is going well and that you're thriving in your new career! I'm in the middle of a career pivot so I find your career transition very inspiring! Don't be a stranger now, you and Kristian have such great on camera chemistry and it's so enjoyable/insightful to hear y'all go back and forth, hope to see you again soon on The Big Thing!!!
1:01:45 I work 7 days n I used to be proud of it. I’m almost embarrassed by it now cuz I used to work 10 - 16 hours off the clock thinking it’d be recognized. It wasn’t, u get punished for not doing more, and ur not getting paid for it - and on top of it, I’m not nearly as fit as I used to n even if I wanted to (I do), I don’t even have the time to prioritize my physical health let alone my mental health. It was a slow realization but I’m finally gonna give up my second job (hopefully this year). Not there yet but at least I know where I’m headed. Really interesting topic but I’m really liking the diversity ur putting in these podcasts: UAP, mental health, etc. on top of the good pop culture ish I’m here for. Keep up the good work!
Great choice of guest and as usual awsm back and forth. Yeah for the first time this week I am feeling the effects of this dilemma. No advertisement buzz is bringing me back to Covid.
Really enjoyed this one man, particularly the discussion at the end about trying to find a good work/life balance. That’s something I’ve had to actively work to improve. The workaholic culture is real basically across the board, but I feel like it’s really pushed in artistic careers because “this is what you love! You should want to do it all the time!” And there is a truth to that, but only to an extent. Glad you had her on.
Great episode w/Miri. She was one of my favorite people on the old show. Her new profession totally makes sense to me. She’s got such a soothing presence that I’d definitely find worthwhile in a therapist.
great to see miri, i've been following campea since the man of steel days and schmoes since the inbetweeners review must be 2011/12. I remember finstocks and jte box off breakdown and won the kenny the tiger shirt posted to me 😁 crazy days but fond memories took me through college to being 30 next year - wild
Great to see and hear from Miri again. Inspiring to see the change she's made. Sounds like she'll be back. She'd be a fantastic semi regular with a unique and interesting perspective to give. 😊😊😊
I stand with fellow union brothers and sisters I’m a u a w member of 23 years that will be hitting the line in a couple weeks with you guys keep holding the line you only have 1 life stand up and fight for what you deserve in solidarity!!!!!!!
Man I really needed this episode; you both hit on a lot of great topics, and it’s so awesome to see you both collab again! Please part 2 soon! Much love to you both.
It was good seeing Miri Jedeikin. In "You Tube" years, it has almost been 1/4 of a century since I last watched her talk with Kristian Harloff! It is so ironic as had she been a long-time producer in film work, she might have been one of those executives now involved in the talks to settle the strikes by WGA and SAG-AFTRA. Judging by the recent negotiations with the WGA, (which turned out to be more of a flat statement by the Studios), seems like the AMPTP could use a few Miri Jedeikin's to make this process move more coherently and equitably.
From experience striking weights heavily on an employee. Making that decision to stand up for what you believe & at the same time financially leaving your family without is very tough, believe me. Choosing between providing for your family or standing in solidarity with your work colleagues is damaging for your mental health. Also something you’ll struggle to get support for especially from your employer. Really sympathise with anyone going through this but stick with your beliefs until that point comes when you know you can’t make a stand any more. You haven’t lost, you fought the fight which is what’s important.
Fuckkk I thought Kristian was gonna bring out the fucking chipmunk for a minute💀. Glad you read the room correctly brotha🙏🏻. However I love the Interactions between BigBalls and Roxy❤️, I ship them❤️
Congrats Miri! I thought you were great on the show. I'm also getting into the psychology field. Currently going to school as an older student. It's a long road but excited to become a psychologist.
Thanks! Was not able to catch it because I work during the day but great interview. I have an idea for a horror flick. Tesla: Electric Death. The people that stopped the funding like JP Morgan and the people that made fun of Tesla he can get his revenge using electricity. Especially against Edison. Sequels can have his descendants getting even.
AMPTP, WGA, SAG. It’s hard to tell who has the most disregard and disdain for the film and television working class and I. A. T.S.E. Guild and crew. AMPTP, WGA & SAG are all the elites rolled into one. All complaining about how much money the other ones are making while the rest of us fall into debt despair and face down foreclosure. They are all going to find a different attitude from the crews they will be depending on in the future, and it won’t be nice.
A big part, having lived in another country, is that a lot of the problems the US experiences is self-inflicted. Things like calling the ambulance meaning not being able to pay next month’s rent or watching gun violence cut people down year in and year out and shrugging our shoulders going, “eh, nothing to be done about it”. The kinds of problems other countries may not have the perfect solution for, but a handle on. But we’re sold a pile of bs that it wouldn’t work here or those other places are “different”. And it also doesn’t help that there’s this rapacious capitalistic mindset that we have to constantly work three jobs and have side hustles or you deserve to be face down in a ditch. Or the gross mindset of the people who defend the likes of Bezos bc, deep inside, they just know. They. Just. Know. They are temporarily embarrassed billionaires right on the cusp of billionaire-hood. Somehow, we’re the greatest country on earth, but we can’t seem to or are unwilling to do things that would actually help ourselves and we have a section of our citizens who actively sabotage us to prevent us from fixing things.
10:15, I will be quoting this for the rest of my life. I always have a hard time explaining why I don't watch R rated movies. What an eloquent way to put it.

A mental health check in episode, very cool! Let's do one of these every now and then, Kristian 👍
It's so good to see Miri again! I'm glad to see she's doing well in her new career and a very important one at that. I hope she can make it on again whenever her schedule allows for it.

MIRI! 😍🥰
So lovely to see you after all these yurrz!
Miri is awesome.
She is!
Kristian's gotta get his youngest daughter in the room for these AMPTP negotiations. She'll take them for everything they're worth.
Love seeing Miri back and what a great perspective on the strikes! Great show!
What a throwback! Glad to see what Miri is up to and that she is thriving! Miss all the old faces from AMC days!
Miri The Jedi! We miss you! Hope everything is well with you!
Awesome having her back!
MIRI!!! So cool to see her again man
Miri!! Takes me back to the old AMC days
I am always here, but now I'm extra here because of Miri. She's so awesome!
This was a GREAT episode. I can see why Miri is a therapist now she seems so easy to talk to and kind and understanding. Sometimes a person can be talking about something very important but you just can seem to follow along but you genuinely want to listen to what she has to say. Keep up the excellent work.
Great episode! Happy to see Miri and that her life is going well. Felt nice seeing old friends shooting the shit.

Don't be a stranger now, you and Kristian have such great on camera chemistry and it's so enjoyable/insightful to hear y'all go back and forth, hope to see you again soon on The Big Thing!!!
I'm convinced "4 Ninjagos and a Lollipop" is goimg to be the little Harloff's first book.
Miri won't ever be hurting for clients in LA
1:01:45 I work 7 days n I used to be proud of it. I’m almost embarrassed by it now cuz I used to work 10 - 16 hours off the clock thinking it’d be recognized.

Really interesting topic but I’m really liking the diversity ur putting in these podcasts: UAP, mental health, etc. on top of the good pop culture ish I’m here for. Keep up the good work!
So nice to see Miri the Jedi. I missed seeing her but am glad to see she is doing so well.
Really cool to see Miri again. Always great when the Schmoes/AMC/Collider guys are on.
Great conversation! Thanks for the content, Kristian!
Glad to see Miri again. Loved this episode very different but had me hooked
Great choice of guest and as usual awsm back and forth. Yeah for the first time this week I am feeling the effects of this dilemma. No advertisement buzz is bringing me back to Covid.
Miri the Jedi! Always good to see her.
I'm late since I was out of the country but I'm glad to see Miri back!

Show was cool it felt like therapy and two friends catching up. Like breaking down Barbie and Rachel Zeigler segment. Good Show
What an intelligent, captivating woman! I enjoyed every minute of that conversation. Can't wait to see Miri on here again.😊
Salute to Miri keeping on keeping on!
Fascinating discussion! I really enjoyed hearing Miri's perspective as well as yours! Thank you for this video, Kristian!
I don’t know who Miri is, but she was so charming that she would be the one to convince Thrawn to leave the Empire.
She is the best. She was our producer on Schmoes Know.
Another great interview episode. I think this more than anything else, is your forte.
Wow. I didn't expect at all to see Miri again. That's cool!
Great to see Miri again! She’s always been excellent.
Long time no see Miri!!
Yup!

Loved the show as always. Hey harloff are you still doing stream lab donations live?
10:15, I will be quoting this for the rest of my life. I always have a hard time explaining why I don't watch R rated movies. What an eloquent way to put it.
It's 11:15 can't edit on mobile
Blast from the past!!!
Ask her about you know what 🚨🚨🚨🚨👽👽👽
