Kind of tamping down, like he's hammering the nails on the box of his previous self-righted personality. He's like, well, Mook didn't like him.
Right. It's like women are selfish. Men are violent in this season. Only Chelsea and Tim. Perhaps some of the girls transcend.
And now, Natasha Rothwell. Natasha, thank you so much for coming on the podcast to talk to us.
Before we get into it, I must ask you, what would you do right now if someone direct deposited $5 million into your checking account?
Get a massage, perhaps from a nice therapist named Belinda or something like that.
What do you think that Belinda's doing with her hair?
That's right. That's right. Right. You think because I had, you know, another question I had for you was like, is towards the end of this episode, you're like, oh, no, Belinda's becoming Tanya. Belinda is now Tanya. Yeah. But maybe she's actually Greg.
She's been she's been taking care of people professionally. Her son's finally in college, like he's on the NBA track. He's an incredible negotiator. Yeah, you can feel the blend is like, who am I? What is my personality actually even like when I'm not having to just take care of people like what I even want to do?
And it's like, is her dream actually to open a spa or was that just the grandest thing that was possible?
Right.
I think part of the reason that we jumped to the Tanya reading is because you get to be so funny in this episode, right? Like I was, you know, Belinda is such a caretaker. She's forced to be sweet, but you get that she is, she's a lovely, wonderful person who sincerely wants to connect and have these things.
But as a result, like so much of the comedy on the show is generated from people being huge assholes. And Belinda just never gets the chance to be a huge asshole. And it is incredibly fun to watch beginning with that negotiation scene where you think Belinda is walking out for real. And she's actually like, no, make him think I'm nuts. You know? Yeah. And I wonder if you could talk about that.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We all were like, what would we do if we got $5 million? We'd immediately stop working today.
