Let's you're listening to Smart List. Good. So there are podcasts that everybody loves, and it's it's with Jason Bateman, me, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett. And what happens is we bring on a guest that the other two don't know about.

And it's a surprise. I'm sorry. Are you in a race? Because I've never heard anybody read something so quickly. All right. It's all news, Marlis. Let's go.

OK, now listen, I'm going to I'm going to cry here, so just, OK, it's going to be tough for me to get through this. But if if there is a way that we could get Chumba Wamba to cover five dollar footlong song from somewhere in a duet with with the Baha Men, who do who let the dogs out if we could get them.

Oh are you OK?

Pull it together.

Well I saw you yesterday. Spent the whole day with you. Go ahead. And you didn't have a mustache. I didn't know you didn't. What's going on? Do you have to shave like three times a day and I've just never known it.

No. You know what it is, first of all, my the current stash that I've got going I like to call it the maitre d. And I wasn't accomplished.

I look like I look like Jonathan, you know, what's his name. He played the maitre d, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

You know, Jimmy Vali's old comedy, Pozzo, also in the pilot of Arrested Development. Yes.

And he was also in you to look just like him. That was also inflate. And he was great.

So you've worked with him how many times you still don't know his last name? Got it.

Jonathan Schmock. Schmock. Yeah. Go ahead, doodler. We can wait. Listener will wait. So watch this.

So Valy go ahead Sean. Talk. OK, so I was, I was.

I love being told what to do.

Sean shut up. Always talking all the time.

I was scrolling through the guy this week and the bucket list goes on and I know you guys know and I talk about a lot but wait, wait.

He can't not chew while we're recording. You know, you're not on a break.

Chunk Jason are playing golf with somebody yesterday.

Excuse me, having a dead board. And I said. You know, it's a lot of it's not even a muffin top right now, it's just all muffin. Actually, you both know that's not true. I mean, I'm actually getting in pretty good shape, really.

You can say it, but we can see it. Why don't you tell your body? Yeah.

All right, guys, hang on. Let me finish. You know me pretty good shape for me.

Yeah, guys, my guest today has won more Emmys and Screen Actors Guild than any other human being in history.

Eric McCormack.

In twenty eighteen, she received the Kennedy Center's honor of the Mark Twain Prize for American humor. And also we were up for the same part on Seinfeld. Ladies and gentlemen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

The one the only one with the teeth.

She's got nice teeth. What was so flattering? These yeses from these these superstars.

Yeah, I know. Aren't you flattered? I agreed to. Come on. Yeah. How much are you paying her? Just like a portion of the proceeds.

Quite a lot actually. But which is delightful. I mean it was a negotiation for sure, but it worked out in my favor.

So listen to me. You're one of the funniest people alive, if not the funniest person alive. Yes, that's true. Yeah. One more Emmys and Screen Actors Guild Awards than any other person. Wow. Is that true? Crazy. Come on, Julia, you don't give a shit. This is news to you, isn't it? It's news to me.

Bullshit. Is that true? No, it's on it's got to be you know, it's not news.

I mean, I'm not sure that's true about the SAG Awards and and it's all very lovely and stuff. But at the end of the day. I don't think you're really in it to win awards. No offense to awards, and I'll take more if they come my way. You know what I'm saying?

It's why I've always rejected winning. I've never won. Turn this way for that very reason that you're pointing out, they'd let him know that he won.

He says no, thank you. And then they give it to somebody else. Oscars, Emmys, Tonys, everything.

But but it is, however, as as modest as that is.

And it's got to it's not modest really.

Well, but but it is like it feels there is that validation. And it's great to you know, you do such great work so consistently for a long time. Yeah.

You don't stop working. Aren't you exhausted? I am a little tired, but I like working, I know why I do, I love working, too, because I don't have to be with myself.

But what but stop and think about the things that Julia has been invited to do or pursued or however it all works. I mean, it's like some of the best stuff ever, and you must love it. I mean, you pick up those. I remember having these feelings will what we were doing arrested, like the script would come. This is back when it was all paper scripts. I open up the door at like five in the morning when we get our scripts day of shooting.

It's a different podcast and I would reimaged Dementia Recovery podcast.

I would read it gleefully like a fan. I'd be so excited that this material that we get to do and we need not do anything but just talk it because it's already so funny. I mean, for I mean, can you remember reading a bad script? It's just it's got to be thirty years in your career.

Oh, I've had my share of bad scripts and I think I've done my share of bad. You got Jason's pilot.

You got my one act. I got the one act and I got the feature and I've gotten a few things. Masimo Workshop.

It will make it better. It's just a first draft.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. But put a pin in it. Let's say that the the quality of the scripts, when you come across great quality in a script, it's exalting. There's no there's no way. And then all of a sudden, don't you find that it's like your creative energy and juices start going nuts and you start thinking of things to later on and stuff like that.

I want to ask you a question about Seinfeld that I've always wanted to know. Here comes all right. Because I will be able to answer. I have no memory. I know. Go ahead.

Well, this is more about your experience and your feeling. Of course, there are a lot of stories out there.

And Jerry's talked a lot about that for season making six episodes, I think initially, and four episodes. And it wasn't even it wasn't even NBC comedy or whomever. It was a different division who paid for the late night programming, exactly how it was.

What's his name, too? Wasn't it was. Yeah, it was required when God like, oh, what a sweet man.

Your memory is awful about this experience. I know. I know so.

But I digress. But then the show becomes and it's now, of course, such a part of that really the better cultural fabric, if you will, a term that's gross, but also true, not not just that it was a popular show, but because it became this sort of phenomenon. What was what was your recollection of that moment when it sort of crossed over? Did you have a moment like that where you went like, oh, my God, this is bigger than us doing a show?

This has become something else?

You know, I can sort of say that that didn't quite ever happen because we were I think, first of all, I think the show's popularity grew exponentially once we are off the air. Mhm. And as soon as we wrapped that ninth season, I think the nostalgia for the show just sort of grew like it was just mammoth and. Also, you know, you guys know what it's like doing a show, I mean, you go in, you the table read, you rehearse, you have run through in the weeds on it, you're working on it.

And and also, by the way, during this time, those nine years, I had two kids during this time. So having young children and sort of juggling this these hours, which were long hours and was it sort of kept my focus elsewhere? I will I do remember when we were shooting the finale and and we shot the show over at CBS Radford.

A little interesting tidbit. You shot your finale on the same stage as Will and Grace. Huh? Bam, bam. Except once you guys shoot, were you shooting Will and Grace at all at the same time? We were. No, I think it was last year, maybe. Maybe the last year or something. I don't know. And so we are shooting the finale, and I remember that they had to put barricades up all along Radford because there were people out there with telephoto lens, is trying to see the actors that were coming in to be guest stars and the on the finale.

Wow. And I remember being so shocked, like, seriously, who gives a shit?

It's just a bunch of members of SAG are coming through that our friends were doing this and then we're going to have a party and that's the end of it.

I mean, it was that was a moment in which I thought, wow, that's really amazing. The people are that invested in it.

Julia, I'm like, I'm obsessed with people's like. You know, beginnings, and I know you're probably sick of talking about it, but like, were you funny as a tiny kid and were you like, did you have, like, dream?

Like you watch Carol Burnett and be like, oh, my God, I want to be like her.

And like like what made you want to, like, do all of it? Or were you always did somebody in your family in theater because your dad's like this crazy billionaire agriculture guy? Well, first of all, he's not a billionaire.

I always have to say that, which I know it sounds crazy, but it's out there and it's not true.

If only it were. But I. I don't know. I always like to. Yes, I was I think I think that I was funny. I was always trying to make my mom laugh or and shit like that. And I was and I was in love with. There was a period of my life when I was really young where I would watch I watch The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins and Funny Girl all the time, and this was back before the videotape.

So you go to the movies every weekend. And I would watch these movies over and over again.

And I remember thinking when I was really little that I just needed I just had to meet Barbra Streisand. I knew that if we met each other, that we would become such best friends. I just knew it in my heart and I had the opportunity to meet her. Decades later, we were at the White House Correspondents Dinner and I thought she was over there and I got to say something.

And I went over to her and I said, Hey, Barbara, I'm Julia Louis-Dreyfus. And I just wanted to tell you just it's such a treat to meet you. And she said something like, no, I already told them what I wanted.

Oh, that's hilarious.

No way.

I swear. Did you slither away or did you or did you dig in? Oh, I just went right.

OK, yeah. There's nothing like humiliation. There's just cannot be overstated how those moments stay with you. Yes. They just that, you know, the good things don't really have the same stickiness, but humiliation is unbelievable. It's kind of fantastic to for comedy.

You know, Sean, what's up, you know, I'm always talking about how people need to know how you're always talking. I'm always talking. And that's a fair shot. Yeah, and I'll take it. But if you actually listen to the content, I feel like 90 percent of what I'm saying is usually about trying to get people to get a new perspective on performance apparel. Yeah, no, I'm picking that up just because I know that a lot of people are sick and tired of the traditional old workout gear, but there is a new company called Feary.

Yeah. It's so comfortable that you want to wear it all the time. And I'm not even kidding. I have it on right this second. I'm touching these shorts. Take your hands off the shorts. Take your hands off the shorts. You know, I also, like, just took off my jacket. It's like this like lightweight cottony jacket, kind of, you know, olive green. It makes my eyes his job. OK, it's unbelievable.

Yeah. And it looks great. According to everybody who compliments me, Vieri means you know what it means. What does it mean. It means mountain. Oh it represents the view from the summit, you know what I mean. Like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You've got to get in the car. You've got to get out of the car. You got to get back in the car. You got to get out of the car. I mean, that's a Shaun. Talk a little bit about you wearing the shorts. What is that? The core short?

Oh, I know. I know.

So I was about 16 and I was in Toronto when I was waiting for a friend and I got a tree and and I was right in this report of trying all these college students are and these three college students come walking along, two guys and a girl and the guy closest to me, he's white and I'm 16. I'm like smoking a cigarette poorly, trying to look cool, like just trying to like waiting for a friend like this. And they walk by me and the guy closest to me without breaking stride just turns out of the conversation he's having with his friends.

And he goes, What's up, cool guy. And then keeps walking my entire my spine came out of my body and I was so humiliated.

He had he had seen me trying so hard in that moment and I was so humiliated. I love it. And it's and this guy has no idea. He wouldn't remember the next day that he said and it stayed with me, you know, three the years.

I think you sound amazing. Very cool. So embarrassing.

I remember and I know this is a panel of men, but I don't give a shit. I remember when I I got my period when I was really young. Me too. And I, I think I was like 11 or 12 and there was a dance and I went to an all girls school. So there is this some dance with the boys school. And this was and I'm sorry guys, I have to know I was going to say there's a herd of dogs following you to the dance.

And so I and I just and I was wearing a sanitary pad, not a there center. And so that thing is bulky. And I remember walking into the school and I seeing my friends and they knew I could just cut my hair such a big deal. And I sort of did this sumo squat and started walking over to them to be funny.

And I just remember all the girls going, oh, like, oh, that is so.

Did you did you do you got all the way through the dance. Like what did you do. Well, I can tell you one thing, there's not one boy who asked me to dance that dance, but you still one. What did you say that your girlfriend said that it was cool or it was gross? Or were you did they laugh or not?

No, they didn't laugh. It was funny. They thought. I think you did.

Yeah, I although I didn't think it was funny when I got no reaction and I made this really, you know, I was like bad faith and then walking around squatting.

But you but didn't stop you from being bold and courageous your whole life by, you know, making a fool out of yourself, which is like the key to humor. Right. Being willing to embarrass yourself or, you know, pull your pants down figuratively.

Yeah. I mean, you really do have to that it's true. You do have to take that risk and sometimes you have to live with the failure of that risk, which will undoubtedly happen time and time again.

But you must do that going back to the funny, humiliating stories, because they're my favorite. Those and medical stories I love because I have tons.

I almost died two years ago when my small intestine burst open in the middle of the night and I went to Cedars, drove myself. Scottie, my husband hates when I say that because I didn't want to wake them. And so I drove up to the valet at Cedars Sinai Hospital, threw my keys with valet and he's like, What? And I go, just park it anyway. And I go in and I'm bent over with my stomach and the guy goes, What's wrong?

I go, I don't know if I can know I'm here because I'm asking I want to ask you. Yeah. And what's the problem? I don't know. My stomach. I feel like I'm dying. And they did all these tests and like, oh, you need emergency surgery right away. And my small part of my intestine burst open and was like polluting my whole body. And then I went on Dr. Oz to talk about it.

And he said, in my entire history, I have never, ever seen this. Well, first of all, let me say one thing.

Yeah. Dr. Oz should not be your doctor, correct?

Oh, shit. Nor should you let him inside your body to look around. I don't know him. I was just on his show. He's not the guy. Oh, he's not my are those who say not me.

But there are those who say that he's a quack.

Yeah. What. Anyway, so I love medical stories, but back to humiliating stories which I think I probably just.

How is that different than an appendix by the way. Yeah. Yeah. How is that. Appendix is a different part of your body and I don't understand how your small intestine burst. And does this mean you need a colostomy bag. So show your bag.

But should I see my scar? You want to see my scar. Yeah. Are you on the operating table?

And as you're on the table, you go put me on Dr. Oz. So wait. You can see like you can see like a little hole there.

I can't see. It's a C section really because my belly button. But wait a minute. I had a C-section. I have two dogs, but I didn't think that's how I got them. Scotty, I look just like you one. He always says, let's try. I'm like, we're not going to happen. And low and behold, here I am. Oh, it makes the corn team go by faster having three kids.

So listen, especially through C-section. So the hospital.

No, nobody knows what caused my small intestine to burst open. Nobody knows that's the thing to this day.

They don't know. They don't know. There's no answer. You don't know how to prevent it from. They don't.

And again, the surgeon who's incredible saved my life. He's in the hospital room after I'm done, you know, after I'm recovering. And the nurses in there, you know, he's like, OK, we're going to release you.

You know, this is after like four or five days. Won't release you tomorrow. Make sure you don't drink alcohol. And the surgeon standing behind him going, don't worry about it.

You can totally drink it. I'm like, really? And he's like, yeah.

And you probably shouldn't eat like sharp things like potato chips. And the surgeon's like, go ahead, you can eat potato chips.

So was this still while you were down in Mexico with the after the eye surgery?

I yes.

Sean and Sean is Dr. Phil's still your therapist.

Yeah, Dr. Phil is he's actually here now. We have to wrap this up soon. So, no, I so I love medical stories. If you have one chime in other than your horrible breast cancer and I'm so glad you're doing well. But I also like humiliating stories like like theatre stories. I have a thousand of them, like things that gone wrong, wrong in a theater or auditions that have gone wrong. Do you have any of those?

Because I live for them, yeah.

I do have a terrible podcast story was I have a terrible iPod. No, I don't. I think I have so many of these stories.

I don't even know where to start. OK, first of all, I'm going to start I'll tell you this story. So I'm giving birth to my first child. I weigh one hundred and sixty pounds. I am completely I'm at Cedars, I'm completely naked.

I've got this thing around my. Yeah, I got the thing around my stomach that it's monitoring everything.

Yeah. It just unnecessary for you to be so naked. No, it's not a was it not a..

Not to have the baby you have and I go I'm in the bathroom. You know, I can't say I'm dying. Laughing Look. And I just told you I almost died because my stomach.

So I go into the bathroom and I and because I've been there for a while, I was long gone labor with this one. And all of a sudden my there's bloody show and there's my water is just broken. And so I so I'm sort of I'm sort of over the toilet once again, squatting like I was earlier. This is kind of my signature. Yeah. And and I'm like this, you know, sort of squatting like that. And this nurse comes in and she looks at me and she goes, Oh Elaine, no, no, I.

Oh, my God. Oh my God.

It's that awful or what?

It's right up there with my with my first and only colonic where I walked in the of the office door. And this sweet woman says, Justine's brother, Oh, no way.

No way. I kind of nodded politely. She said, go ahead, take them down and get up there on that table and I'll be in in a minute.

So, you know, God, it's you go through with it with the conic.

I sure did. But I didn't I didn't look to the the the aquarium window or anything, anything come out like you've heard.

Like I said, there was a small bike, license plate, potato chips, wafty and all while the little pointy foods and alcohol. Yeah. Yeah. I want to know like a theater or something.

Yeah. Yeah. So long, long time ago. I auditioned for about last night. Do you remember that movie.

Yeah. Demi Moore. Rob Lowe. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. And for the, for the part that not the Demi Moore part but the other part, the played by Elizabeth Perkins I believe.

Oh yeah. Yeah. Anyway, and so I have this audition and with the directors Mitch Herskovitz and the other Marshall Herskovitz and mastheads we're.

Oh yeah. Sorry it's work. Thank you. Apologise to all.

And so I go into the audition and as I get there, Demi Moore is leaving and she does a little twirl and a giggle and everybody laughs and she laughs and then she exits and she's stunningly beautiful and she has obviously now this audition. So I go in and I read and I am so I want this job so badly. Usually when I really want a job, I don't get it.

Thousand percent. Yes.

And so I read and I do not read well because I want the job too much. I saw her nail it. I was thrown everything I just got.

And I went home and I knew I'd done really badly and I was so upset. I thought, you know what, I'm going to write them a letter and I'm going to say, Dear Ed and Marshall, I'm so I hope you're well. Thank you for the opportunity for letting me read for you. I really feel as if I did I was my best in the audition and I really appreciate the opportunity to come in again and so I can really show you what I can do.

This is a train wreck and I take this letter and I go back to this hotel and I give it to the concierge person to put into their thing. I leave and lo and behold, next day I get another audition. Isn't that nice of them? Wow. For the same part. Different part. No, same part.

The snarky friend, you know, that's all I ever get. And so I go in at this point to be twice as nervous.

I'd be petrified now. That's right. And that's what I was.

Jason, so thank you for that. And I walked in and I read. Worse than I read the first day, sure, it was as if I couldn't, you know, like you're holding the pages and you can't stop your hands from shaking.

And I'm afraid to even bring my head up so that I have eye contact so they can even see my face. So I just keep it down.

Or you should have brought your eyes up, crossed, and then you should have handed them your SAG card. Just excuse yourself. Oh, that's so funny. It's brutal, isn't it? I cut through the worst faux hard.

Back to your having giving birth and the woman says, Elaine, I was driving home from a taping of Will and Grace and there is a man in the middle of the street lying there. And as I was approaching the car in front of me just drove around him and kept driving and I was like, oh God, there's this man.

So I pull over and just before I get out, I'm thinking, is this one of those? You know, scams where I'm supposed to get out and then some somebody comes out of somewhere and jumps me and takes my car or whatever, but I'm like, no, it's worth it.

So I got out and the guy had just been shot and I was like, oh, my God, I took my shirt off. I put it on the wound with my phone, my cell phone. I call 911. I was like, oh, my God. And then by then, some other people had come out and I wait till the ambulance get there, gets there. I'm like, I'm going to be fine. I'm going to be fine.

I'm going to be fine.

And the first guy gets out of the ambulance, he goes, Oh, just Jack. And I'm like, and I'm like, well, there's a there's a man and I'm shirtless. I'm like, there's a man dying in the middle. By the way, the end of the story is great. He lived everything's fine. And he was it was great. Oh, but isn't that insane.

Is that is insane. Absolutely insane. Did your small intestine burst again?

And that was the first time. This is before that. My large one, my last one went the precursor was a precursor. Oh but wait a minute.

I want to know, do you ever get to the point where because you do work so much and you've done so many amazing things and you're brilliant truly in all of them, do you ever get to the point you're like.

Man, this is this show business thing is is exhausting. I wish I could do blank. I wish, you know, if I had more time, which we do now. And you're very active politically, by the way, did you do because you were political or did make you political? I was political. Yeah, so is there something you want to do maybe in that vein? Have you always dreamed about that or anything? Like what's the plan?

I don't have any other skills. So I need to keep doing this because otherwise it's going to be a prop, I need to keep working.

Does that freak you out or do you challenge yourself to think of other things that you would enjoy or you know what I mean?

Well, I mean, there are other things I enjoy in life. But in terms of like a job, you know, I need to I need to work as an actor. And that's what I like to do. And it really it's the only thing I can really do.

What what about the skills that you've gained while while being an actor? They're in in the entertainment business, like your knowledge of all the other fields and positions, directing, producing, writing.

Oh yeah. Yeah. I sort of count all that together, but yeah. I mean producing is something I definitely enjoy doing and do do and maybe potentially I'll direct at some point. But I don't know. I don't know, I'm not sure about that.

Friend of mine asked me a gun to my head if I had to think of a if I had to choose like a job, any other job and what a blue collar job. She said, I'm like, why blue collar? I don't know. Just pick it as like, OK, a blue collar job. I would be like a landscape artist or like I would do something with landscaping that I did. I just lose everybody. Gardener would be blue collar.

Landscape is white collar. I think gardener. I would be a gardener. Even mow and blow crew. Yeah. Why not. I'm gay would be easy.

I think I would work in a I work in an airport. In what capacity. I was the baggage handler when I was a teenager. Really. Really. Yeah. Was it interesting or not. Really. Let me just say this.

If you're worried that they're going to throw your bags around, worry no more because they like fragile, fragile, fragile means extra hard.

Julia, what job would you do in the airport? Would you drive the truck that pushes the plane back? No, I would drive the the go cart that takes the old people to the gate, go through the terminal with the constant beeping and the light post.

Right. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Let me tell you something, Will another cool job. Well, and I went to Istanbul and when we landed, we got that service because we're assholes and in the airport, Istanbul, Turkey, or like how to be millions of people.

And we were we were moving through that crowd, the asshole Americans at one mile an hour. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Everybody hated the shit out of us.

Why were you in Istanbul? Were you there on a vacation?

Yeah, we could have walked faster. We could have walked faster. We have we did so many of those stupid things in Istanbul.

Remember the huge pepper shaker we come out with, this huge pepper shaker that's 19 feet tall.

Sounds like it sounds like to the waiter like I have that. Sorry, we need this for a photo. And I was like, because, like, this is my job. But anyway, so I, I'm obsessed with you.

I have been forever and I wish I second time was your friends closer. I know we are, but I wish I was at you know, we're not we're not really friends now. Oh, you just cut up.

So I have fond memories about us working together and you being blind on Arrested Development.

That was so much fun. Takes your captors so much fun. Maggie Lizer. Yeah.

As a Carolina, what was I wasn't I cherish. Yeah. Or Cha Cha. What was the name I came up. It was Charitha. Right. Charif the name of my character. Yes. Yeah.

I think I looked at a chair and you just said you were bad at coming up with a name and you said, Sharath, I'm not like Arrested Development afficionado or anything. I just remember that.

But that was so much fun. I want to. I want to. I'd love to work with you again. I want to at least hang out with you again. So when you come back to Los Angeles, don't don't fuck me. I'm going I'm going to.

OK, guys, listen, I am on the lookout for this next best thing. So if you think of anything good, let me know and we'll make it OK.

I think we are. Hey, guess what, I'm. Oh, is this it. Yeah, but seriously, I'm not fucking around. I'm not kidding.

I really mean that.

I like that you're casting a wide net like that. I think that that's good. Why not, by the way, that's the key that right there, Jason, you wanted to know how do people get successful? Because you're always worried. Like, how do other how do people get successful? You ask? It's because they put it out there.

She puts it out there in a very general way, not like I need this, but just out there, I'll send you something that's pretty great and then is that true? And then stuff happened. It's 100 percent true. Oh, good.

I can't wait to read it, do it or pass. I don't care.

I'll keep sending your life, I believe is 100 percent where you put out there. It's all vibrational. Whatever you put out is what you get back 100 percent of the time. That's a lock. I totally agree with that.

Well, I like it's fun to work with. You like to say and who are funny, and all three of you guys are maybe one or two of you are funnier than others. Yeah, but I won't I mean, just to be.

I'm working on it, though. Yeah, I'll try. But so having said that, I really do mean I really got a podcast.

We'd love for you to come, but we want to put you on the spot. You think about it, it feels kind of like a radio concept. It's really nothing. We just kind of sit around.

It's a podcast about nothing. And I don't know if you'd be interested, but don't answer yet. Don't answer yet.

OK, I'm the guy I want. Just why I don't really do a podcast, so I don't want you to take a person's bypass. No, no worries.

Of course we won't even ask you that. It's a lot of effort. All right. But it's been great talking to you anyway.

And yes. Nice to catch up. OK, bye, honey. All right. Love you. Thanks for having me. Julia, thank you.

Bye. That was great, great question. I love her, I've been such a big fan of hers and, you know, she was like 21 when she did SNL of 21 and pulled out of college to do it. And, ah, she quit college, I guess. I don't know. But she pulled herself out. She pulled herself out and then got Seinfeld like shortly after that. I think it's just and so grounded.

Like I don't know how I know I could have gone much, much deeper, much more serious with her, but I was starting to feel like one.

Guys are both friends with her, though, right? You guys hang on. I'm not. I wish I was.

I thought you were. I wish I was. I mean, one of your friends. Friends.

One of your friends. Oh, I see one of the friends.

Sometimes your jobs joke.

You're broke your love life the way you guys are. So be there for you when you get older. Yeah.

Which reminds me, I'm not this is not a bit I mean, it is going to seem like a bit, but this is totally true.

Yesterday I heard and I said to the was like, I have to say this to Sean because Sean is going to love because what came on the radio, I swear to God, was if I could turn back the impact of Mel oh, Jesus, God.

Till the day I die. But fucking I heard it yesterday. I God, I'm Sean.

And I knew that we were we had a show today, so.

Oh, wait, Sean, are you famous for doing Cher or something like that. Why do you think of Sean. That's all right.

I'm a big fan, so get to know your friend. Truly shocked. We're going to do an episode. We're going to do one episode that it's just the three of us where we're just going to find out what we don't know about each other. Just I hang on.

I'm really embarrassed. Are you truly known for doing a share? Yeah.

That one of the most famous episodes of Will and Grace is when Cher came on and I imitated her. Yeah.

Tell me what Will and Grace is so the. So you'd think it would be like a well, like where there's a will, there's a way and the grace of something.

But it's actually two people is one is one a preacher, one is a gay guy, one is a straight woman and they're perfect for each other, although they can't be together.

Huh. You're perfect for each other. Was that has this been picked up? I swear to God, the script was just a script. It's not in the Bible.

I swear to God. I never knew it was that they were perfect for each other.

So wait a minute. Let's let's cut all over that. They were equally annoying. Yeah.

I just it was like a pole's like a negative or north and south or something like that and something like we'll cut it.

That's where you rob to send me a version where it's not cut ya.

OK, so wait till next time miss. You already guys.

OK, love you guys. Bye bye.

Can we stop that being a good goodbye. I'm smart. Smart bombs.
