I love the story of Janie making friends in New York and them showing up to the show. Come do that in Houston!!

Congratulations on Hacks! It’s been on my list, guess I’d better get to it.

I hope that the entertainment industry picks up again, so many people rely on it. I’ve always noticed being on the westside that almost every billboard would be TV/movie related, and now they’re regular ads like accident lawyers and PSAs. It’s just not something I saw often around here before the strike and they don’t seem to be getting back to it very fast. I can give views to whatever you’re on, at least!

Boy am I glad Paul brought up the Irish Spring commercial. It allows me to dust off this uproarious laugh-getter from my (very amateur) standup days when those ads were everywhere. It went a little something like this…

“Hey, have you seen that commercial where the guy is standing a field and cuts open a bar of soap? I don’t know about you, but if I run into a guy in a field with knife and a bar of soap, I’m not hanging around to find out what brand it is!” Wait for laughter to subside. “Manly yes, but I like it too!” (Standing ovation or something probably.)

Sooo excited to see you on Hacks Janie! We didn’t realize season 3 had started yet, so we watched the first episode of season 3 tonight.

I had a friend recommend Baby Reindeer two days ago. After hearing y’all’s discussion, now I’m convinced. My partner wants to start Shogun first though. To be fair, he did suggest it months ago.

All I can think of is Michael Sheen's amazing line in 30 Rock: "Popcorn!? At the cinema!?"

Did Paul just predict that he was going to live another ~501 years until the year 2525?
