People of a certain age are going to love this story. Jack Black recently joined Amy Poehler on her “ Good Hang with Amy Poehler ” podcast, where they discussed their love of sleep to be at their creative and comical best. Poehler asked her guest if he snored.
“I do,” Black responded. “I have a CPAP machine”. “Dude! So do I!” Poehler responded with enthusiasm.
The pair high-fived in solidarity and Black said, “CPAP team unite!” “CPAP” stands for “Continuous Positive Airway Pressure.” The machines are used to as a treatment for sleep apnea that involves the user wearing a mask with airflow that allows for uninterrupted breathing and better sleep. Black and Poehler proceeded to share how their CPAP machines have changed their lives.
Black described his as a “game changer” and he can no longer sleep comfortably without it. “I can take a nap. Like, I took a nap [during a recent appearance] at ‘SNL’ but to do that I have to kind of go like Elephant Man, where to do that I get so many pillows I’m almost like sitting up.
” Black quipped. “If I lay down flat, I might die. I don’t know.
” Poehler shared that she’s used her machine for work. “I put mine in a movie,” she said. “In ‘Wine Country’ I used my CPAP because I wanted to make sure I never got laid again.
” That turned into a conversation about how unsexy wearing a mask to bed can be. “Is this a turn off or a turn on that you have this Darth Vader [mask],” Black joked. “Right before I go to sleep, I gotta tell you something,” Poehler continued as the two cracked up.
“You’re gonna hear it first. That’s love!” Black brought it home, pointing out that some people might have a “Darth Vader kink” and actually enjoy a partner that wears a mask to bed. (Speaking for a friend, even a full face mask on a CPAP machine won’t cover someone’s entire face like Darth Vader in the “Star Wars” franchise.
) As for friends Black and Poehler, these two need a show together. Their entire conversation is a delight but if you’re into a CPAP as much as they are, click around 35 minutes into their episode for a good laugh. “Mask on, mask off? You’re choice, babe,” Black joked.
