Were, ah, hiking around old battlefields? Um, where? Sound like you have a lot of planned things. Sounds like you kind of just throwing these out there. This sounds like I'm panicking on the drive to school and being, like, what? What can I do today?
A little
bit. I didn't sound quite like that. But I love like watching my shows, to be honest
with you guys, you know, you got practically well,
Yeah. I mean, I take the JV boys out, we practice after the varsity, we go to the old haunted gym and we play against the ghosts. Ah, and and it's it's tough. So, yeah, we've been out in
the field doing a little bit of social studies. You did have your first JV game. Your acts first actual game this week, right?
Yes. Yes. So the, um So the varsity goes on at 8 p.m. And the JV boys play at 5 30 And as you guys know, they've been practicing again against ghosts. Their dead relatives, um, who are haunted. So the games have been interesting
because this one was against the West Chester Golden Knights.
Yes. Who are human beings? They're not actual golden. The fastest, strongest teams in the league. Yeah, we got
killed. Yeah, they have two players who can dunk.
Yes, they have two little boys you condone. They run up each other's back, like one gets down, and it's like this big crawl up. But my boys kept being like, All right, let's get out the Tero cards on this one. All right, That didn't work. What? Everybody wears the source. Maybe it's an old haunted necklace. So they're running around the stadium, right? Yanking off old ladies necklaces and trying to throw it into the sounds like it was a disaster. Yes,
but I don't know if if if if the paperwork is done on this, but you're bringing in a ring, all right? You got the nun
to join the team. I've got the oldest nine. So now you have someone who can dunk. Yes, it was is sheikhoun dunk. And also, she's very good at, um, casts a. She comes with their own holy water.
That's great. Figure out cause you found her on a painting in a basement, right? But then she came out of it, and she did a great lay up. And you were like, We gotta talk.
Exactly. Yeah, it she came right out of it. Um, and I was like, I was scouting. I was scouting around. Uh, yeah. Like 3 a.m. You can go around to different, have old creepy houses on the outskirts of town. Look around because I was scouting
for sort of like a ah, somebody who could go up against the ghosts or help out against the It's
too bad Baba Duke wanted do band because he's tall.
I was on Baba Duke's ass.

it's not going great for you. I applaud you at your
efforts. Sam. Weatherman on the mike over
stormy weather and driver's ed teacher s b student government adviser. I think you're doing a great job, Bill, and I'm really excited for my job as well. Yeah, I don't know if you guys notice. But we have a new driving course. Yeah, we put the cones out.
It looks kind of like a motorcross.
Exactly. Exactly. Pump ear than a normal car course. Should be.
Well, the kids were telling
me this isn't challenging enough. I'm trying to get them to parallel park. I'm trying to get them to make a simple left turn, and they're like, we got it, We got it. And I'm like, I don't know. The ship is impossible for me.
Yeah. Big figured out left turns really early.
Well, that was the first quarter
was left turns. And, um uh, conquering your fear on they conquered their fear almost immediately. Then the left turn was piece of cake. Something gets of their permits, already didn't know that. And, um, so,
yeah, I needed to do something to keep him
or interested. They were getting so bored. They started feeding my body, and
I'm just sort of making
a menace in the classroom, so I had to do something to keep them interested. And I think you need to save that marking on your stomach because that, uh, that boys an artist I know. Yeah, absolutely fast. Less his name's son.
Yeah. Oh, Are you talking about Richard Banksy?
Richard Banksy? Yeah. Little baby Banks. Little baby Banksy Heat. Yeah, he, um he drew a little picture on my tummy, and we're hoping that we could get this in a gallery
on. Now there's Donald Trump eating a
piece Flour. It's so funny. Swimming. And it's not only funny, but it's like that means something, and I'm not sure what
is. Well, art
is up to the interpretation of the viewer. No artist is there to tell you exactly what to think about the piece there.
Exactly. And so I think my course is safe. Yeah, because And that's how I
interpret. Try me if
I'm wrong. But you did enlist, uh, motorcross legend Travis Pastrana to design the
course. Well, I thought I was getting Pastrana. I got Travis Pastrami. Unfortunately, no, Not know as much about motive across. I thought he didn t want it is a peppery court is a peppery course, but he smoke that thing and it is ready to go.
It's not that bad of
you. Pair parent with coleslaw. Coleslaw. That's that's right. It was a very good Yeah, I'm trying to bring in coleslaw. But I can't get him. I can't get him on the email. So what about sir? Dough, Sergio? Shirt, chauffeur. Sour sour dough. Yeah, I haven't met him.
Okay, so the course is pretty. I'll
say it's insane. And, um, it's just these kids are making left turns. They're making right turns. I'm too scared to go in the car with them on the course, so I just sort of let him
take it for a spin. Yeah. Once a controlled environment, for the most part,
absolute. There's only
one hole in the wall, and that was for me. And I take full responsibility.
And you put a gun. No. You put a governor on the accelerator of the car, so
Well, he's been busy, but yeah, I've been trying to get him down there to really tell these kids that they should be going. Oh, yeah. Just your body is in town. You already had the mayor
on it, but you needed to get a governor,
right? That's why I had the mayor on the car. And he's lazy. If we're being honest, you go as fast as they want. So I had to have just even turn up there on the motorcross course. Really intimidated so damn lazy.
Hey, I came out the
other day to ribbon cutting at Europol. Your local, when we opened it up, didn't cut through the whole river. I
think those scissors
were four times as long as the ribbon was wide. Somehow
is a
just can I And this is such a specific Peev But I can't stand when people cut with just the little end
of the scissor. Oh, yeah
Put it all the way and then slide like wrapping paper. People
say you need the precision of the tip because you can't that precision.
Oh, God, Are you one of these tip users? Sometimes
I just use the issue suggested

is an act. I don't think I'm gonna try this one.
All right. What happened? Howard is the bravest member of the group, and I've
said it since day
one. Brave. Well, it's now you. We hit three. We don't need 1/4
dough. Angry. Forced one. Well, now, now is
when it will be best. So hit it. How? Hit it. How going? Some
different types of
cutting. I got, I got I got I got a, uh uh, You call that you call that a cut? Uh, I call you, um, go to the salon. I've seen good ones there.
Well, that was what? Okay.
We shouldn't have forced
me. Oh, I know I look like the idiot again when I could have just quietly stayed quiet, not participated, And
nobody would have thought
I was a big, dumb idiot.
Speaking of quiet participation, I am Todd Padre, theater director, star of the school, play the Reconnect writer.
It speaking of client participation. That was sort of referencing the opposite of who you are.
No, no. It was a Segway into how I teach my classes. Now, um, kids,
I'll have to have silent participation. That's right, because so didn't you Will? You approached masterclass this thing that very famous actors air doing where they provide a little bit of inside. I don't want to talk about this
happened. You were talking about it nonstop
all week, and then it went dry. We did. Well, I'm submitting tomorrow. I'm submitting them are Come in. Where you expecting to you to talk about it? Nothing. You're wearing big turtlenecks all week big tweed jackets without talking about your master class. It wasn't even
a big deal. Domain is the thing I didn't really want.
Wait a whole new personality for a week. You said this is
my big break. This is it. This is my moment.
You went and sat in
the library because it had wood walls and books and just just trying to take in the vibe

Sure. I heard
you in the bathroom and I started recording the phone call that you are Christ on and I
don't want to put
you on the spot, but
this is a deep fake. What? Everybody? Here's the defense.
So we got Duris Government recording device.
Yeah, this isn't a deep fake. Todd, this is you in a bathroom stall saying, saying the truth of what happened with master class and I don't I don't mean to put you on the spot, but
me on the phone with the master cross you on the phone
with the master class people. I could only hear your side of the conversation, obviously, because he didn't have it on speaker. But I think we should just let everybody know what happened. Todd. Okay, let's go and just play the tape right and play.
I, uh Todd Padre calling Teoh ammunition. So those partner, we emailed a little bit, uh, that he may win. And well, I'd like to do a masterclass about kind of my theatre trading. And the set up is intimately the t o d d space. Ph d are easier. The police are on the way. If you're giving now, we've had a lot of people say that.

or something. It was Yeah, they They have viruses for computers, but they've just discovered you could have bacterias also, um and it's an infection of computers that makes computers sick, which we've dealt with in the past with our with our old gateway
Hasn't Yeah, well, I think it's clear that we're all working hard and that
even if it's not
going exactly how we want, we're finding ways
to move forward. And again, I didn't want to do the master
plan. I agree with you that it's good that you changed your opinion as soon as you get it. I think was particularly devastating later in the tape which the audience didn't here. But you negotiated down so low for your own suicide. Like $3 by the end. You got you just got beat up by that suicide. Well, I couldn't believe the negotiator said yes. He negotiated him into the suicide. Thank God you didn't listen.

All else that's gonna say is bay a temporal thing. I think it's like 2016 k. Well, you you said you went to school in the base. I
wanted So we're talking chowder. We're talkin them. We're Duggan Trolley? Yes. Talking the giant?
Yes, of all those. And I was like, 20 minutes east of that. Enough
chowders. 20 minutes east. A chowder. That high school. Did they have
chowder at your school? He didn't. You couldn't get actually
couldn't get acts. What about bread Bowl? They
didn't have
that at my school.
I know. What was the
school like? Was this one of those sort of hip new Agey schools? Was it? Ah, a public private? What? We're really was
public. It
doesn't feel
hippie New age. It feels pretty normal. One great thing is that we had open lunch. What is this silly Amy toiled hard open top three kids that students were allowed to leave during lunch
Is that high school kids are okay. Everybody would drive west, get that
when they catch the
trialing, get that bowl rally to get bowl.
Um, he notes
Funny. Is this is riel. There was a deli down the street called Domenico Owes, and for some reason, this was like at the height of, um, girls trying to be skinny
over now. Yeah, it's over now. Over. Fick is in a
way like that. That's over, right? Tied big. Yes. From outlining the shape of a thick woman over there. Got nasty. But Dominica Yes, and
eso girls teenage girls were getting into this idea of wanting to be skinny, but had no idea how to go about it. So a big thing that girls would order at lunch was a what is not called. It's not a loaf of bread. What's like a like a bread, a baguette of bread and a side of ranch dressing?
Oh, yeah. Great hush days
that it was like that was a diet lunch. So that you know
where these baguettes, because breads calorie rich,
That's what, Sandman man. 10 years
in the future we've learned that those were the two worst things for your body. Bread and creamy dress.
That's right. Girls are stupid.
Well, we're all stupid. Okay, great. I just none of us in this room
are stupid, but in general the pop. Well, well, I feel weird because I just hid all of my rye and 1000
island underneath the tape.
No, no, no. Don't feel Should I eat? Of course.
I mean, just don't make a big deal about that. You're trying to lose weight while you're doing well.
You know, we should call. It was Travis Pastrami. You could make that around good.
I've heard about him, and that was Domenico is your go to That was what was your demand. And I'm
going to frickin uh, it's like called sour crunch bread or something like that. Yeah, I'm getting turkey. Okay. I'm getting lettuce. I'm getting tomato. It's so easy. I'm getting mayonnaise, and I'm not apologizing for it. And at mustard, uh, they had way, like, fancier cooler. Better things in that. But that was my order.
Beautiful. And so are you getting shamed by some of the people eating bread and ranch where they're like, Oh, Darcy, Darcy is really getting the big
I even if Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'll tell you their names
as ranch trips down those pigs shirt. Yeah, missing their mouth ranch dripping on the shirt and pants
right over there. well be.
Let's go through some of their names, but name four of them, but changing to their first or last time. But don't tell us which one you changed. Yeah, we'll get you the O or however many You could
my name
Frick first or fake last segment waiting for you.
And you either change their first other last name were late. That's a fag. And then we google him and send them the podcast.
I feel like it would be
so obvious if anyone from my high school was listening. Okay,
Well, Darcy curtain is another pass on first grade class. Classically difficult, but no one has ever done that. Nor should
they like I love the food take of this. I want to know what's in the psyche of these kids.
How is
the vibe at your school?
Happy general Bunch. Thanks for
asking, Sam. Yeah, it waas. Yes, I would say a
happy. Here's the
thing. You know what this town that I grew up on girl grew up in. Could you please edit that out of town? That I grew up in was a little bit on the ritzy side
area and if
anyone heard that sounded correct. We edited out
my town and I don't mean to sell. Your story was a little
bit Carlton E. Yours was a little bit ritzy.
We're gonna cut that part two. So it's a little Richie town. I literally don't understand. Carlton. Ritz Carlton say bythe way got there first Wolf. I did e I guess that was great. Actually, Bill looks well, I could have said, oh,
years is a little bit really well, minds a little bit crack ary.
And, of course, the third option Let you talk about your story,
which is obviously never the option that we will take. It allows no
wound. You guys, I really am a big fan. You want me to do something weird? Sure. Okay. Ready Classes out. And the car fi zone like the beat. A couple things on my mind that I'm trying to get off,
Cut me some slack
and pour me a cup of that Joe knows. Welcome to teacher's lounges. Hurry up. Start the show.
Way had actual fans. Wow. Is beauty. That was really nice. Couple
things on my chest on my my uh that was really great.
Todd, what is your
issue here because I
think we
all like to get into so much. We haven't looked
me in the given. You haven't looked me in the eye. You haven't. You haven't seen me in the eyes once today?
Well, yeah, I don't know.
I I guess I'm just pretty comfortable around a successful woman on, you know, to me, it's Ah, I don't want to try to intimidate you as a fellow actor. You know, I think we'll probably end up going up for some of the same parts someday.
Did you guys ever cross paths?
It's funny, you know, because I do listen to the podcast. But I didn't know what you guys look like until I walked in. And you do? There is something familiar about you.
Yeah, I got dragged out of your good place audition. Wait.
Yeah, you were a different weight.
Talks about a
different a lot of stuff, different ways. Your
body was very different. I don't want you did a hasty
done fat suit, like hastily done.
Yeah, I wanted to know. I just My interpretation of the script was a little different than what they ended up going with, but I thought I thought Janet was a little bit of a bigger character on I know that. They didn't really probably didn't know what they wanted at the time. You were
so tall, like in the Sevens, right? You're wearing some sort of weird like a still
treat. They say, Make a choice that I always remember feeds. So I came in and I said, You know, I'll take notes on my script and to me, it's like Janet to seven foot 8 £642 she's got gas and I played it that way. I played it that way.
They do say, Make a choice for an audition.
One choice. The right, not three disparate choice.
I mean, you know, I
I'm glad to see that they didn't go with Janet being Italian because that was my read. And I thought they would steal it from me when they didn't.
They didn't. Yeah, I never heard. I never heard. But that was
It's good to see you. It's really good to see you. I don't know if you remember the conversation before the addition, but we were in the room. It was just you and I in the room, and I was
trying to go over my lines.
Yeah, I was loudly. I was loudly reading the magazine.
Yeah, that's right. You brought it in. It was from, like, the eighties or
something, right? And when you say you're reading, it was probably just doing that little find this image thing.
Yes, that's right. But he
was He was narrating. Where's the handkerchief? Here's the stairs.
You would go. No, that's a fire truck, sir.
It's hard for me to like, you know, See, it was hard for me to see you get it wrong so many times.
That's so nice of you to help him out. You have such a nice, warm energy to just, you know,
I warn people going toe vibe with each other. Go. I'm tired of tired.
Your tire todo You want me to get up? Pull out bed,
weaken, switch, take a nap
Time. Like walking around like he's a dog about to, like, circle down into a bad
Hey, Todd, look at me real quick. Just look at me. No, please. I am. I wish you all the best. I want the best for you. I think you're great. He's crying But the tears air,
steam tears are sting thistles. No, I've never change. So seen tug of this emotional You still fired up, steaming out his own dear
So touched If I cry, I cry hot, angry tears it Steve's out. I'm not quite because of you. I'm sure you have good of an actor. I am because I'm actually happy, right? Yeah.
It's not your fault. Time. Oh, wow. I made you No.
God, it's so hot. How? Oh, sorry. I'm just not gonna
work right now. Is that I think one has sauce. What kind of that is that? A bullet? A stop that support Kabul E. I don't think you understand. Vodka sauce. It smells like really terrible. Well, Darcy, as you know, every school has one really attractive teacher. We all know who it is. That Hamilton did
you have an attractive teacher? Someone you had
a crush on or is that disgusting?
No, no. That's why I think I had that, like, really strongly. I probably had it too much. I It was easy for me to get crushes on teachers when
it is time for you to name the name different. First of different last. You want to do
it?
I don't remember his first names. I could
just take a little That's Mr
Ault, Mr All I'm gonna say That's fake. You changed, Mr. I Bet his name was really Mr Salt Way. Get that. He
was really Mr Alton. You looked like a cartoon character. Like the cartoon character of Ichabod Crane from the Disney movie
during a pumpkin. I feel like
I think about it, But nobody. I was terrorized by the
pretty Sure. It's ahead of this guy with a pumpkin under
Ichabod Crane and the
headless horseman. Like, like, sort of riding through the forest. And he's sort of spooked by the headless horseman,
as I'm sure we would all be. Let's not,
of course, absolute. Absolutely. Would
you say
of the four of us? Which of us do you think is the most
attractive teacher?
Okay, well, here, how about this? Because, you know, for the people listening, they don't know what your what you guys look like. So I'll unhappy to answer this, But why don't you guys describe your the way you look
just a
little bit. Just describe it a little bit,
Okay? I am sort of, Ah, £25 overweight, dusty mustache. I've got hair that's a bit too long. It
also been
too short, too short, maybe bit too short in some
places, but to belong. Another place definitely thinning in the middle. In the top, I've got on a tweed blazer.
Where is your, uh, where it actually is coming from? Where is the words? The source. But
it looks like an active cotton
machine like it's going. It's like like I put a stick and I have a hair hair.
Of course, you describe what you're seeing. Also, there's anything you know that's a notable about our bodies.
How do you have? You have a gorgeous smile. Thank you. Really nice show that it's different. It's different, but that's what That's one of the things that makes it great,
because when you
smile, you give both rose. You give big gums
on both sides, is what my mom always said. Gums on both sides. I need to see both gums shoot my mom. Whenever we took a family photo, everybody had to show top and bottom bottom.
You know, Howard looks so I obviously have really hair that grows long if I let it. Uh, I have a insanely dark just for men to koto like as if you look into it, you will see the future. It's so it's, like more of a cold.
That's a great way of describing it. Yeah, Yeah, it sucks Gravity. Yes,
I don't have You could see that if I put a pin on the table a inches towards my goatee was swirling.
Yeah. Big, huge polo shirt billow. He tucked in
some wrestlers, which is Walmarts Brand on your shirt tucked in so far. Goes right into the shoe
thing. This is it. This is Ah, uh, this is an
untucked. Its new brand when I took it is not enough for you Like this is an untouchable. Yeah, this is untouchable. It's been in my freezer with euron crustal. We know it's been in my freezer with jelly. It doesn't jelly and peanut butter inside. Okay, um, so it's an untouchable, right? Um and, uh, yeah. Big, huge square white daddy. She Yeah,
on body wise. Very slender. Yeah, very, very tight.
It's a wispy,
wispy blow will get Let's say, let's say I'm walking down
the street. The bus goes by, I would be blown in.
Yeah, yeah, mostly bones.
Mostly bounds A me Sam. Much like Howard, I am £25 exactly the way I should be. And, um, I'm also
I guess you could
say, legally sunburned.
That's that. It's from the sun. It's not just,
you know, it is from the sun thing, but it's been by the government deemed my driver's license legally something. It's like being legally blonde, the other ones we don't talk about. Um so, yes, I'm legally sunburned. My hair grows different in these guys inward. My hair grows in words. So I have long hair, but it's underneath.
Okay, so that's why your neck is so thick
on. That's what people they asked me. And I say, No, it's not from where you say I don't work out just my neck. It's my hair because it goes in Okay, Um, most people can't get past those things. So yeah, that's what I look
OK. And again, I would say beautiful eyes.
Thank you so much. You're great at finding the nice thing about people.
You know. We've got a great smile over here. We got mostly bones
over here. Todd.
I've been described a script keeper. Chic, uh,
usually be believe off the sheep
part or your keeper Sheep. Yeah. Crypt keeper Sheikh said that. You know, uh, my hair. It looks as if it kept growing, but my skin and body and wait stopped going out. Um,
I've actually heard somebody describe you as a moat like molded dust. Like
human hold. It does. I heard someone describe you as barbecued beef jerky. They start with dried out beef jerky and then
a barbecue. I see that.
And as you could say about see by looking at me, Darcy being described by people is really important. Notable. Look that people need to say out loud what it feels and looks like to them.
Yeah, everybody has. That's true. There was a spinoff show that was of kitchen nightmares called person Nightmare.
It was person nightmare. And it was me walking into people's houses and being followed by Gordon Ramsay's
getting work. Yeah, but, you know, it's just how
the artist is. There's always a better job.
I understand that.
You know, I'm doing person nightmares, and it's like but this is still with Ramsey on. I want
to be the Ramsey I get.
That's right. Eso to
bring this
creepy segment, Teoh. Okay, who do you think is
Thing is, if you were a student, don't want t o If you were a little you're a little girl. Let's not
make this creep, okay, okay. It's hard because I have, like, a very maternal feeling towards you guys, right? You wouldn't raise this all.
That's a fine answer.
Yes. So there's I mean,
I think that's even less creepy. If we were your son's, which one would be the hottest?
Yeah, I little boy. Well, see, that's the hard part, right? Is because when you are a mom, you can't really pick a favorite, right? My
mom did was your big toe. Least favorite. Your sometimes could be attracted to any other kid.
I can't or Lord, that that, you know, almost like I can't settle down with just one of attracted love over you. Okay,
well, we're all your sons that you're attracted to is what you're saying.
I I did say that, OK, some I'm thinking that's a yes. Well, you know, I'm married.
Look, um Okay, well, I guess, uh, kid, let's kick it way should do a good job. We have more questions. Ask about your high school experience. We're live at a school

How many dead bodies you played in CS? I
I actually I never have played.
Oh, yeah, I played six, most of them. White makeup to no makeup.
I mean, that's something. So
I guess we're both doing Really, Really?
Yeah. It was unbelievable. When
you play that body that washed up, uh, in the East River, they were like, we don't even need to see him in the makeup trailer. He's big,
bloated and blue and just direct report. Yeah, Yeah. Unfortunately, that was not a casting. That was your swimming I was doing was one of my floats. That was a very float. It was.
It was incorporated into the shot.

to know you well, you know the mindset it put me in a place interior condo day. Todd comes home after a long day at work. His with, uh,
probably should say wife.
His wife, Leslie, suits on the couch.
It's about T E H.
A lot of you do any spell check.
I'll just sort of
quietly say spelling error when they're raising
his wife. Leslie sits on the couch watching television
your own late.
Nice to see you too, honey.
Nut. There was sarcastic. Okay.
Uh, I think I was sarcastic. Okay. Didn't hear. Okay. Nice to see you too, honey.
We had dinner plans two hours ago.

Going well? I worked all day too. And then I came home enslaved over this dinner for you
Spelling Don't say slave like that. It's insulting to the people who actually were and are still a
respectful is appreciative applause

What's happening here? I miss you. I miss us.
Talk pours himself a PBR parapet. Rocks sips it. It goes down. Smooth failure.
You
care too much about your job, about these students and about making art. You leave your whole self with these students and there's nothing left for me. My mama told me not to marry
Jean. What if we
made love like we used Teoh?
I'm not turned on by you anymore. It must be something wrong with me.
Maybe a smooch will change things.
They smooch Big tires, a romantic song. Place Sinatra or Boo Blay. Things start to heat up when his daughter Mary enters through the door. Upstage right or left, whichever is the one that's on the right When you're watching. She enters with her boyfriend, Brad. 17 strong, not intimidating to Todd. And worse looking than him too.
Mom, Dad grows

Are you
sure? Yes. Yes. Oh, that's make Yes, they're here when they say they would be here where they said they would be here. Sorry.
Well, don't take his side right away.
Todd, we've talked about this. You don't need to be jealous. I'm not attracted to him.
You're right. How could you not be? Look at this guy. He's a beefcake. But I could kick his ass.
Please, Mr Padre. Doctor, please. Dr. Padre, You're my teacher and I'm dating your daughter. I don't want to fight you.
Well, I came here to kiss my wife and kick ass, and my wife doesn't like kissing me. So,
Dad, you're embarrassing yourself. Every time you
try to fight one of my boyfriends, you end up hurt and crying.
Honey, are you sure you're not just testy? Because that negative review your last plague? I
know who cares
if off Broadway magazine called Angels in America's Outfield
unwatchable. I thought it was awful. Broadway magazine. Whatever
to be continued. Not sure what happens next. Maybe Todd beats up Brad but learns an important lesson. Someone needs to learn the lesson. Well, see, that's why Darcy's Wow,
what an honor
it is. The sod, the life. That is the first time even anyone with a sad car has even touched one of your plays. Todd, the bylaws are so you don't know this from the pilots. If you're inside, you can. You should be careful. You should. You technically crossing the picket. Do you mind to
leading that part
for me? We will. Thank you. You send out a mass email about you being canceled. What the No, the union is okay. And that's not true. I have a sad card. Said I've read my own lines.
That's a different sag dot

Well, you know, it's really cool that we brought you on here to talk about high school and did it for, like, five of these minutes. But honestly, it's been a blast talking to you, Darcy,
you know, such a big fan of the show fan of you guys. It's It's, you know, overwhelming and exciting to be in this room with you guys.
We are really excited for the good place. Yeah, when she starts back tomorrow.

wattle. If you haven't, that's another show that if you haven't heard the previous seasons, it's may be tough to jump into. You should go recommend going straight to Netflix. Clinch Finch. We love to bed. We like the idea of a binge.
What do you binging lately? Darcy? Cardinal. You bingeing, bingeing anything loses TV shows, I think.
I mean, I moved here. I am binging
foods. Whatever. We like
the idea of losing control and binging. Right?
Example. I've been John Hot Cheetos.
Yeah. What do you have an unhealthy
relationship with on television. I guess I I am possession. I'm not know, But I do like my friend leaves messages about succession on my phone, even though I don't watch the
show could. That way, if you could think of
what if you could just make up what you think,
all right. Also, his first same Beavis and his last name star for You Tell May. What's the name?
Obviously got a friend, Bea
Vo. I guess I'm
