Our sweetest friend, Adam Scott, is here today. Yeah. We discovered, which I would have not guessed. Yeah. I forget now. Seven. Seven. In the interview, we realized he was the seventh guest.
It does feel like it's been a long time since he's come on, but not that long.
No, I just didn't think he was that early. I felt like we were up and running for a while and I reached out.
Me too.
But yeah. So this is his second trip. Oh, this will be good because I remembered this. There's a point in the interview where I go, weren't you super into hip hop?
Yeah, you did.
And he's like, no.
Yes.
And I was so... discombobulated by that because i'm like i know i remember this okay and it hit me after this interview and i text them and i was like oh my god you know what i think i'm confusing is were you obsessed with do the right thing and spike lee and started wearing african gear and he's like a hundred percent so that's what it was i knew he went through a phase oh Oh, and he was wearing like the tricolor Africa shirts and it was do the right thing. So I'm not I wasn't totally insane. There's some connective tissue.
Got it. That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And also lends itself to him being a cinephile.
Yes, big time. Parks and Recreation, Step Brothers, Big Little Lies, Party Down, The Good Place, and alas, arguably the greatest show on television, which returns to Apple TV Plus on the 17th. Severance.
I can't wait. So excited.
It's so good. It's so, so good. And I got to do the Severance podcast that they're doing, which is really, really fun.
That's great.
Yeah. I do recommend, it's been three years. I have a pretty good memory. I don't remember anything. It is so worth starting it from the get-go. It's so enjoyable. I had forgotten so many great things about it.
I rewatched it as well.
Oh, you did? Yeah.
I mean, it's just, what a show. It's fantastic.
Please enjoy Adam Scott. He's an object square
Steal yourself. Is that the expression?
Oh my God. Steady, steal. Okay.
Thank God there's no buttons on your slacks like Camillo Anthony.
I wonder what it is I'm supposed to be looking at.
Yes, this is very nice. You're fucking hot as hell.
Hold on, Adam. You're a thousand percent sexy as fuck.
What is this from?
I've always known you've had good hair, like enviable hair, but this photo, I can't do things like, like you can take big swings with your hair.
Would you acknowledge that? And I would say that's a big swing and I think it might be a bit of a miss. No! No. Oh, my God. The whole thing just feels a little stupid.
No. Adam, listen to me. You can own this. Can I hold this up? Can you see that, Rob? But look at this. This is great.
You do have great hair. Fuck, you have good hair.
You're welcome. I'm stealing this from Arnett. He would call it the 40-yard stare, like that Vietnam.
Yeah, the like middle distance stare.
Yeah. Like, am I seeing a sniper in the background that you're not?
Right. Me and Pratt used to do it on parks. It would be saying something stupid to each other and then just kind of breaking into like, what are you? There is this middle distance where it's so clear. I wasn't looking at anything. It was just look over there. Yeah. That's maybe part of why it's embarrassing.
No, No, no, no. You're so self-deprecating. It's a gorgeous picture. It is.
I don't think I'm- Just gorgeous.
It's absolutely gorgeous.
By the way, it's so different in here than where we- Oh, sure. Let's take a second to process this. How long have you been in here? Three months. Because I listen to the show. I don't watch it, so I don't know. Yeah, take it in. First of all, Rob did all of this. It's really nice. Can you believe- It's like homey. Thank you.
Yeah, it is.
And well-designed. I know you have impeccable taste, Monica.
Thank you, but this wasn't me.
