Starting point is 00:00:00 Everyone, welcome to another episode of Good Hang. We have another clip compilation episode for you. This is our last of three before we return with season two with an incredible great guest joining us next week. But this episode is really fun. You know, we always ask people what they're listening to or watching in order to laugh or feel comforted or, I don't know, just even check out. And so we put together a bunch of those answers. And we have incredible guests joining us. that have come and sat right across me in this seat. Everyone from Quinta Brunson to Haley Williams, to Coloskola, to Kristen Wig, to Dakota Johnson. There's so many people, too many to list in this episode. So you'll hear from a lot of them. And just to kick it off, I want to say what I've been loving and enjoying lately
Starting point is 00:00:57 that's been making me laugh is a show on Dropout called Very Important People. Check it out. It is an improvised talk show. show hosted by Vic McAylis and has people like Lisa Gilroy and Brennan Lee Mulligan and Eugene Cordero and all these great improvisers and really funny people who basically have to sit and get prosthetics put on them and outfits and costumes put on them while their eyes are closed and then they have to create a character improvise and go on a talk show.
Starting point is 00:01:34 It's just so funny. Such skilled performers come through there. And Vic is an incredible host who just adds every layered detail. And it's just, it's really, really impressive and strange and wonderful. So check it out. So that's my recommendation for this week. Listen to other people's as you check out this episode. Coming up.
Starting point is 00:02:00 This episode of Good Hang is presented by Subaru. Some cars go the extra mom. mile. Long-range Subaru hybrids take that to a whole new level with up to 597 miles per tank in the cross-track hybrid, a car that I've given my family, and up to 581 miles per tank in the Forrester hybrid, another car that I also enjoy. Subaru, love goes the extra mile. Visit Subaru.com slash hybrid to learn more. Range based on EPA estimated combined fuel economy and full tank of fuel. Actual mileage and range may vary. One of the things I like to watch is, and again, I'm going to keep referencing TikTok.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I am not a public account. You won't, don't find me. Don't look for me. Don't leave me. If anyone's pretending to be you, they're fake. It's fake, yeah. But I like to watch videos of people either doing or learning or trying to teach Beyonce's homecoming dance break. So either someone who can do it or I love it when it's a person. who you don't expect them to be able to do it and then they do it. Like they're holding like a laundry basket? Yeah, so they're just like, yeah, they're a mom in their laundry room and then they do it. I have tried to watch tutorials to try to do.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I'm not a great dancer and I know that if I was given from now to the end of my life, I could not learn the first 16 counts of that dance. Yeah. But I love watching people do it. And then the other day I was watching a whole bunch of people doing it. me one guy was like a really beautiful ripped guy and like shorts, no shirt doing it. And I was like, oh, this is a new layer of this. And then the algorithm was like, oh, you watch that. So you just want to see videos that are just like hashtag rugby build. And it was just like guys with a rugby
Starting point is 00:04:05 build. And I was like, I think I do want to watch it. Yeah. I regret to say that there's these videos online. I don't really watch TikTok. Really? Why? I just don't. I never really... So there's these video. I'm learning of this cat.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And I don't like it because it's AI. Okay. I don't like it. This isn't a shame-based... I mean, there's no shame here. I'm shaming me for enjoying it. It's an AI cat? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I can check this out. And he, like always is... He starts to... his day. Okay, already. Okay. He starts his day. What's his name?
Starting point is 00:04:51 H-S-I-N. I don't know how to pronounce him. He is from Asia. Okay. H-S-I-N, cat? Yeah, do you see him? H-S-O-H-S-O. Okay, let's see.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Oh, H-S-I-N. Yeah, cat. It's a breed of cat. Can I? Yeah, let's look at it. No, you're going to have to search for him in TikTok. Okay, very good. Good, standby.
Starting point is 00:05:15 I'm going to look him up. And he always begins his day. He wakes up and he decides he goes to the market and he buys some vegetables. And then he goes and finds, are you looking at him? No, that's not. No, hold on. No, that's not. Oh, this cat?
Starting point is 00:05:34 Yeah. Okay, so we'll put him up here. So he will find a friend like a chicken or a rabbit. He's finding a chicken in this one. is he? And so what he does, and then he cooks the chicken. So, but he always, he drugs them first. He invites them over for a drink. And then they drink it and they pass out. He's drugging these friends. This is a whole story. Yeah. And he, and then he cooks them and he eats them. And he even has a little funeral for them after he cooks them. And it's like, you killed him. And he has his friend, he has a friend the lion who he calls over to.
Starting point is 00:06:15 eat because I think the lion is the only apex predator in his life because he cooks and eats. Sometimes he drops a bomb in the ocean and then he kills a shark. He has shark meat that day. And the caption is always like, I was in the move for something different today. Or
Starting point is 00:06:30 the caption's like met a friend today. And you think it's going to end well this time? Nope. He cooks whatever. One time you met a crocodile and I was like, this is seeming like a budding friendship. Now he's in jail. He's in jail.
Starting point is 00:06:45 jail. He gets, there are consequences, but his friend the lion always bails him out. Mm-hmm. He, sometimes he waxed someone over the head and then he eats them. But sometimes they get him back, like this fox whacked him over the head once. And I was like, finally, this cat is getting what he fucking deserves this little fucking maniac. But then he calls the lion, the lion. The lion comes and wax the fox.
Starting point is 00:07:07 They have fox for dinner that night. And you watch it. I watch every single one. I always go back to news bloopers Oh God Let's just watch Hold on let's just watch a few
Starting point is 00:07:23 Great Do you have any that you remember That like I can Google Well you know there are these There's just something so Beautiful and great About people that They
Starting point is 00:07:35 It's the news It's serious And when something goes wrong That one is incredible That is the most incredible one That is the sim. I've watched that so many times. It's what four seconds. Okay. Let's. It is. Mountain climber.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Right after the break, we're going to interview Eric Wyhan Mayer who climbed the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest. But he's gay. I mean, he's gay. Excuse me. He's blind. So we'll hear about that coming out of. Okay. As we headed the break. Okay. Okay. And as we headed the break, and you know, wait a minute. Because you know in her, like, oh boy, I just messed up. And he is like, I'm just going to pretend that didn't happen. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So, all right. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Blind. He's blind. So I will. I love bloopers.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Bloopers? I feel like we grew up with bloopers. Nothing. When I see people really laughing and really like there's in those news bloopers, there's one, there's one. one, it's these two guys. They're speaking a language I don't understand. It's like I don't know what.
Starting point is 00:08:49 By the way, some of the ones in that like news in other countries are. Oh, I don't even think to look for that. I'm going to... I'll go in, I'm going to go like best news bloopers of 23 or 22. I've seen them all. Like global news bloopers. That's what I'm finding right now. I will watch those over and over again. But there's like one where these two
Starting point is 00:09:06 guys and somebody says something. And I don't know what he's saying. But the other guy says and he starts laughing and they both start laughing and they are crying and they're on the ground crying and i don't know what the hell they're talking about and i'm tears because there's there's god i do love it god i love that why do we love i mean i because there's something it's the opposite of pretension it's pure joy it's uh there's it's defenseless. It's the purest. It's celebratory. My wife has said before, this is such a good idea. She goes, they should have, like in hospitals when people are getting, going for like chemotherapy
Starting point is 00:09:52 or whatever, and they're sitting in the chair for hours, they should have on screens all around just bloopers from people laughing. That is a great idea, Julie Rudd. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. And I agree. Like, if I see people laughing really, really hard, I'm done. I like watching British people break. Ooh. There's that, like, Jimmy Carr show.
Starting point is 00:10:23 There's, like, a panel show. I think it's called 8 out of 10 cats. I've never watched a full episode, but I keep getting served. Okay, Jimmy Carr. Short clips of, like, like, British panel. making other British panelists laugh. I just like watching British people break. I feel like, see, you're not better.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You are such, you're such an anglophile. Yeah, yeah. You really are. You, you love Brits? I do. So you like people trying not to laugh or just like a chat shows, panel show, like that kind of.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I mean, in general, I like, you know, it's like watching an old Carol Burnett. Yeah. But I do like. Corpsey. But I feel like British people try really hard not to break. So when they break it, I don't know. It brings me more satisfaction.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I don't watch reality television. Same. I barely watch it. But I have found a show called Farmer Wants a Wife. Have you heard of it? No. Oh my God. It's a nightmare. Please tell me.
Starting point is 00:11:21 It's a nightmare. A farmer like scrolls through a list of women and picks eight of them. They all come. There's four farmers. Okay. Eight women per farmer? Eight women per farmer? Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Then they go on a... The odds are stacked against us. 10 minutes per woman. Okay? And do they speed date on a farm or in like a studio? In like a barn set. Yeah. And then they see if they have a connection.
Starting point is 00:11:46 And then he has to choose five women to bring back to his farm and date them all for six weeks. Oh my God. It's insane. First of all, I'm just horrified by the amount he gets to pick from. He gets to pick from five. It's ridiculous. And do they, and is a lot of his choosing about. what kind of, like how is she going to help me with the farm?
Starting point is 00:12:08 That's the crazy thing is he makes them do a lot of manual labor. This is nuts. And I'm like, what is going on? Well, he wants a wife. Farmer wants a wife. Farmer wants a wife. And they're like, you know, I really like that she's from the city, but I don't know how she'll do out on the tractor. It's so, I don't know what accent that was.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I don't know where that farmer's from. Your dialect coach is coming back, your nine-year-old. Yeah. Call her up. Whoa, okay. And what do you like about watching it? Do you like because you're outraged by it? Yes. And I can't stop. I feel really uncomfortable, like deeply uncomfortable. But then I keep going. And do you get invested? Like, who is he going to pick? Yeah. And has there ever been any of that? There's drama between the girls, of course. Yeah. Do they sabotage each other at all? Like they definitely talk some shit. And they like gang up on each other. And some of them are just, they're just nuts. And some of them are like, I'm like, oh, they'd be a good one. match. I really get along. Do you ever get a vibe like, wow, they're going to be together?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Sometimes. Like, it's a good match. Yeah. What do you laugh at? Really, just my friends. Like, I wait for them to make me laugh on Marco Polo. John Early does this bit where he will send me a Marco Polo as if he's meaning to send a message to someone else. But he, but it's this elaborate thing where it's like he's secretly.
Starting point is 00:13:35 planning with all of the rest of my friends to kill and cook and eat me. Like, you know, like, you know, before the Tonys will send like a message being like, okay, so hi, Claudia. So Cole Fully thinks they're going to the Tony's. So that's fine.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I am a little worried about getting them out of the dress just in terms of grilling. It'll be hard, you know, like stuff like that. That is so fun. It makes me laugh so hard every time. And it... A complicated bit.
Starting point is 00:14:11 A fun, complicated bit. And it goes to show, like, what you said earlier, which is, like, your friends love you. Yeah. You love your friends. Yeah. And you guys can deeply tease each other. Yeah. Like, that, to me, is, like, a big love language.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah. And it goes to show that, like, you're very safe around each other. Yeah. And it's just play. Sorry, I'm sorry. We'll be right back. There's no, there's... We're not on the air.

Starting point is 00:15:40 My dog really cracks me up. He's such a little weanus. His name is Banjo and he's such an idiot. He's such a mutt and he has his tail that's always so high so he's got a really aggressive asshole. And everything he does is so stupid that he makes me laugh so hard. He's a dingo. Like everything he does is jump.
Starting point is 00:16:04 What is he? He'll walk, he'll get outside and he'll like, do less, like back and forth as fast he can from one side of the lawn to the other. Like, he won't stop. And he'll just have, he has this corn cob that he can chew as a sound in it. And he'll just look at you and be like, like, acro, aggru, like, and you hear the, this horn going on for so long. And so his anxiety is funny.
Starting point is 00:16:24 He has had a con on for a third of his life because he constantly is eating something or he'll look at you like, there's this blood gushing out of his back. I could have been like, banjo. He licked the skin off of his own little paw because he just was stressed out. And then he keeps licking it. So he's had to, yeah. So who would play banjo in a movie if he was a human? Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:49 It would be. It would be. He's got a lot of white male privilege. He is so blonde. It's not Patrick Schwarzenegger because he's really great. I mean, honestly, it's a young Leo is really what it is. It's a young Leo. The thing that's made me laugh the hardest in like the past year.
Starting point is 00:17:10 When was the SNL thing that I lazily did not go to? You didn't go to the SNL 50? No. Wow. I know. It was a mistake and I regret it. So I just want to say that out loud. You were like, oh, that's, you just thought like, oh, I'll wait another 50 years.
Starting point is 00:17:31 I was like, it seems like I had so much work at the time. It's going to be hectic. And I was like, I got to go all the way to New York. and I had something the next day, so I just couldn't go. Yes. But I watched the thing at Radio City or whatever. Yeah, the music show.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Yeah, the music show. The night before. Wait, what are you going to say? I love it. I don't know. I'm going to try to... When Anna and Will did the church thing? I talked to Anna about it.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Bobby and Marty. Did you write that? Oh, I wish. No, Paula Pell. the great Paula Pell. I... Incredible writer on SNL and performer and Anna and will do these Bobby and Marty Cull. I...
Starting point is 00:18:18 And she starts singing Kendrick Lamar. Yes. And what Anna said, which was so incredible, is... I gotta tell you something. And I think I said this to Anna, but I just want to extrapolate for a second about it. To me, it was so... It was like such a win for the comedy kids. because it was such a cool night.
Starting point is 00:18:39 They literally followed Lauren Hill. They came on after Lauren Hill. And their job was to settle everybody. They had to go like, we're going to wait. We're going to wait until you stop talking. They kept telling everyone to be quiet. And it was so funny. To me, that's like that, I don't know what brand of comedy you call that,
Starting point is 00:18:59 but it's like that funny bones where, what was the Kendrick Lamar song? She's like, oh, we got a little. look at it for a second. It was, what was it? What was it? Yeah, let's just watch it. And I hope we can get it on, like, is the 50th S&L on. Yeah, it was like on Hulu or something like that. Here we go. Honestly, I, I, I'm sorry. I know the commitment. What kind of humor? What do you call that? I'm sweating. Like, to me, what I would call that. Honestly, it's a great question. To me, I would call it like committed.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Oh, you know, it's a spit take. Spittake, our first one. Spit take on Good Hang, and it's Quinnis. Here we go. Here's some good hang tissues. Oh, my God. I am like, I am not very, for all my quiet comedy. Like, I am like Mel Brooks is what makes me laugh. Like, big, silly.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Okay, what's your favorite Mel Brooks? I mean. Let's Google it. Well, I mean, Madeline Khan and... Should we go to the producers? Young Frankenstein. Producers. I mean, when Dratch and I write together, it feels like Mel Brooks is, you know, the...
Starting point is 00:20:52 Dratch is of the Mel Brooks world. Yeah. So writing with her is very goofy and very fun. You know what I love, and I know it's underrated. I love me as Spaceballs. Oh, deeply underrated. Yeah. God, Spaceballs made me laugh.
Starting point is 00:21:07 My friend Philip Taratula is doing... does this character called Official Pam Goldberg on Instagram. He plays a member of actors' equity since 1968. I know my Uber is here, but I have to see this. Yeah, you do. Official Pam Goldberg. Yeah. Pam, don't rely on other people's snacks or anyone else bringing snacks for you.
Starting point is 00:21:33 These are Crasdale peanuts. I don't think they're organic. Pam's telling us what to bring to tech. I say good coffee. I like this from Fairway. The game management will copy themselves, but life's too short for soldiers. Again, I recommend banana grams because it's short and cordial. Bananagrams are short and cordial.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Also, Pam, it's got a real severe haircut. Real severe. And a real squinty eye. She's been a regional theater actress for a long time. There is nothing I love more than those videos of either dogs, like that one dog who keeps attacking an apple slice. Don't know it. Hold on. It's attacking an apple slice?
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, he's just going bananas on top of a bed. How do we find that? You know how we find it? We type in dog attacking apple slice. I think his name is... Our phones are off. Remember, we're going to have to turn them back on. No, mine isn't off. You never turned your phone off?
Starting point is 00:22:36 Puppie shares apple slice? No, that seems too nice. Oh, here we go. Spud on Instagram. Okay. This dog is just hacking this piece of celery. This dog is a maniac. The dog is growling.
Starting point is 00:22:58 It is the size of a rat. It looks. And it is furious at this piece of food. And is bearing its teeth. I mean, it's scary. It's scary. But it's not going to hurt anybody. Oh, this is a strawberry.
Starting point is 00:23:18 It's war. It's war. Anyway, that makes me very happy. But do you watch a lot of videos, YouTube videos, and like, and? I think what I'm, I love Survivor. But let me just ask you something about Survivor. I also like Amazing Race. Okay, Survivor and Amazing Race, those kinds of shows.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Do you just think you could do well on them? No. No. Really? When you watch it, is there a part of you that you think, like, I, this is what I would do, but you don't. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:54 What I would do is pretend to break my leg and get air vac out. Have you watched Alone? Yes. Incredible. Okay, let's talk about Alone. So for people that don't know, I think it's on National Geographic Channel, maybe History Channel, and now it's on Netflix. I mean. There's a 45,000.
Starting point is 00:24:15 seasons of it. 45,000. I think we watched every episode during COVID. Yeah, fantastic COVID show. And for those who don't know, the premise is 10 or 11 people are dropped somewhere. It always feels like Canada, but somewhere. Wicked, wicked. Survive the elements and survive being alone.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And the psychology of how people figure out how to not only find food and shelter and outlast their competitors, but the psychology of what happens when people are alone is fascinating. I'm for sure would go crazy. But don't you think you would do on alone? Are you out of your mind? But better than, really, you don't think you would do better than some of the other. Yeah, no, I wouldn't be able to get any food. I wouldn't be able to kill any of the animals. So that would be one problem. And then the other problem would be, I don't think you'd be able to sleep because, you know, they got bears up there, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, I mean, I don't know what headspace you're in right now, but there's no way you're making it on alone.
Starting point is 00:25:15 No way. I'm not saying I'm making it. I'm just saying... I'm not saying... I'm saying you're not making it one night. Not even one night? You're going to be too cold. You have to make a shelter.
Starting point is 00:25:26 My pride would do one night. I would... Okay, one night. Wayne's World. It's my favorite movie of all time. Let's talk about how great Wayne's World is. Can we please talk about it? I mean, Dana Corby was...
Starting point is 00:25:42 instrumental for me when I was he was in you know like you always kind of fall in love with the SNL cast that you saw when you were like 13 14 and he he was him and jan hooks and like that cast phil hartman and mike Myers was an improviser who came out of the theater that I studied at so Mike was like kind of an example of like one of us can make it wow he kind of came up through that system that Chicago system and got an SNL so those two were and but what do you like about Waynesworld. Why does Wayne's World make you laugh? Well, so my parents were really young, and I think that's why I got to grow up on stuff
Starting point is 00:26:18 like that from the early, early 90s or the late 80s. And I thought that's how we would dress when we became adults. I was like, this is how adults dress. We wear fishnets under denim ripped up shorts. We wear flannels over Aerosmith's T-shirts. And I literally dress like that. I mean, I just, that movie has. It's like the godfather to me.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Mm-hmm. Like, I quote that movie all the time. What's one of your favorite scenes in Wayne's World? Oh, this is good. Well, it's probably the Dream Weaver scene. It's probably when they first see Cassandra. And that gorgeous woman played by Tia Carrera. Tia Carrera, my queen.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Incredible. Oh. And Chris Traeger's Roblo is in Wain's World, Rolo, as we like to call him. Yeah. You know, I did not like. Rob Lowe until much later in his career. Because he was bad in Wayne's World. Like he was the villain in Wayne's World.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Yes. I believe Parks and Rec was my, was the redemption tour. I do watch reality. And I am not ashamed. You shouldn't be. Oh, I'm a Bravo gal for sure. Okay. Who are you?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Have you done the, have you done Andy coming and talked about, have you done that and talked about the housework? Who are your faves? Who do you love? So many. I mean, it depends. Like, different cities have different. I'm about to, Salt Lake just started. A new season.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yes, a new season of Salt Lake, which is one of my favorite cities. Do we have a Salt Lake? Do we have a, mm-hmm, back then? Jenna just said, mm-hmm. What makes Salt Lake so good for people like myself that don't know? It's just bonkers. Great. everything that makes
Starting point is 00:28:08 the fashion the what the ladies they're just I love it so much I have noticed like at night it probably isn't the best thing to watch before I go to sleep because it gives you nightmares
Starting point is 00:28:22 just because of the yelling and the brightness and like all the things you're not supposed to have before you go to sleep right I love these women so much they are my family can we watch a clip from Salt Lake that you would if you were to tell if I've never
Starting point is 00:28:35 I've never watched Salt Lake. Oh, oh my God. I know this is hard, but what would be one? I guess maybe when... What about when the van, when Jen Shaw gets... I would say Jen Shaw... Yes, Sprinter Van. Sprinter van.
Starting point is 00:28:50 You can't just write Sprinter Van because you will get every franchise. They're always in a sprinter van going somewhere. I genuinely don't know what I'm going to see here. Okay, should I give you some context? Please. So Jen Shaw is currently, right? Did she get out? Incarcerated?
Starting point is 00:29:08 She's incarcerated. Okay. With Elizabeth Holmes. They're in the same. And their buddies. I believe. I believe. Well, this is loaded.
Starting point is 00:29:19 But I saw the new naked gun. Okay. Talk about it because it looks so good. It's really funny. Okay. So directed by Akiva. Obviously, it's directed by Kiva and co-written by Akiva and he's my bestie. But I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
Starting point is 00:29:32 It's really fucking funny. It's just. The people I've talked to that have come and watched screening so far have kind of a similar reaction, which is, it's just all jokes. Yeah. It's been so long since something new got made that was just purely trying to make me laugh. And it's in that style, but it's also updated. And Liam's amazing and Pam's amazing. And Keeve did a great job.
Starting point is 00:29:58 The writers with him did a great job. Dan and Doug. I mean, it's just joyful. It feels really fun. How important was like naked gun and airplane to you growing up? Big. Same. All the surrealistic, dumb, cartoony live action stuff I loved.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Monty Python, those, Peewey, later strangers with candy. Like things like that where you bend the world and make it be whatever you want it to be. You know, we all watched like Hollywood Shuffle and I'm going to get you suck in all those movies. Anything like that where it was like you could actually have like a giant thing fall through frame. and no one will acknowledge it or something. I remember, like, the character on a naked gun that was really tall that was always out of frame. Yes. And you've never saw it at the top of him.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Oh, my God, it's my favorite joke. Are you going to say the same joke? Is it the banana? Yes. That's my favorite joke. Look, let's watch it. Ever. And there'll be plenty of time to do it, too.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Got something on the side of your mouth, Al. No, no, no, the other side. It's like half a banana. It's like half a banana. It's hanging. Can you imagine half a banana? And no one reacts. This episode is brought to you by Amazon.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Life is predictably unpredictable. Coffee spills before meetings, unexpected house guests, broken waffle makers, mid-waffle making. But Amazon has your back? Your very own night and shining delivery box armor.

Starting point is 00:31:44 The thing that makes me laugh more than anything, belly laugh. It doesn't happen often enough is watching my husband fall over or hit his head. On purpose or by accident? By accident. You just love an accident. Literally makes me go weak. I clapped. It's so good.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Did you ever watch America's Funniest Home Videos? Have you ever seen that show? Oh, that's the sort of... Stand by. Okay, I'm not going to go. I've seen the clip recently where people just lie down with their... Have you seen this? So I'm turn around and Ed's lying down.

He was right back out there in 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:33:27 He was right. He couldn't even. Yes. She couldn't do it anymore. No. People are complicated. People are complicated. And it's not good or bad.
Starting point is 00:33:37 But it is, can I see? stand it. And there was a little bit of her that was too compromised in that film in that story, or Ephron's story. And I love, I love heartburn. Even before the, even in the beginning when it was like, should we get married? Remember behind when she had the cold feeling? Yes, so good. So human. So, so funny. Yeah. She's funny too.

Starting point is 00:41:45 who's who. Yeah. Everybody. in New York. But it is so good. And something I like doing is watching it and just kind of thinking about all of this happening for the first time. Like women sitting at a table together talking about whatever, talking about themselves and talking about like how weird someone's cum smells. It's just like, holy shit, this is incredible.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Like that has never been. on TV before, let alone said out loud for people.
