When they see me, they say, ‘Man, Pauly Shore. We really had fun with that guy.’ And now, because of the world and what’s going on, everybody’s a little bit tense with these phones, and everybody has this kind of eggshell feeling around them, so people look at me, and they see that time as freedom and no filter. It’s great.”

I was young, and it was great. It was pretty cool. It was a fun run.”
