. Here's the thing about dying for sex. It's a story about women, about friendship, about finding yourself, and about, you know, orgasms and grief and trying to reclaim your power, one adventure at a time.

The guys on this show are weird and kind and vulnerable. And I got to talk to two of the incredible actors who made these guys real. First up, Rob Delaney. He plays Neighbor Guy. He's a comedian, actor, and best-selling author known for co-creating and starring in the critically acclaimed British sitcom, Catastrophe. You might also know him from Deadpool versus Wolverine or Bad Monkey.

Or maybe you know him from his online presence where he mixes offbeat, truly hilarious jokes with deep disarming reflections on embracing life through heartbreak and healing. We talked about balancing funny and sad, finding incredible chemistry on set, and the allure of the male form.

After that, I chat with actor Jay Duplass. He plays Molly's husband Steve on the show. And from the moment that I met Jay, I just knew. Like I had this feeling. He has this energy. He's like the guy at the party who actually wants to hear about your weird dream. Yeah, that's him. We talked about all of it. Getting super vulnerable on set.

Finding peace in the chaos of filming and what the story can teach us about death.

Hi, Rob Delaney.

Hi, Rob Delaney.

Oh, well, I just want to dig right in because you and I have spoken before and we've had conversations, but I haven't really gotten to pick your brain about this project. How did this project even come to you?
