Wordle? Did Dennis ever ask you out?
I don't recall him asking me out. I do recall there being some discussion about making like a clay imprint of my ass, like for an ashtray or a bowl or something. So he backs away and he looks at me and he goes,

Chapter 2: How did Lois & Clark influence Teri Hatcher's acting career?
Did you really? No, I did have a, well, you should have a test at my age.
I didn't know you could do that.
I had a test and it wasn't that it was bad, but it was like, it was preventative.
No, it's great. This is the way I try to help myself now with this kind of stuff.
Yes.
The old paradigm was to try to lift heavy weights and make it easy. The new paradigm is to lift lighter weights and make it hard, which usually means going very slow, staying in the work phase.
I think the point that is what's good for your bones is that max out. That point at the minute 45 where you're shaking and then they make you hold that for 15 seconds and that's the part that's good.
Okay. I'll see your fat and I'll see your shakiness. I'll raise you doing hill repeats.
Okay.

You do? Yeah, I do love movies. I think I mentioned with him, I feel like Tootsie always comes up for me.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like when I was... Figuring out almost by osmosis what comedic timing was about, I feel like Teri Garr, just like her rhythm of everything in that movie. I mean, I can repeat it like, yeah, it's music.
Oh, and just like the tragic, her whole story was so rough in that movie.
Yeah.
She kept getting ghosted.
And Chuck Dern. Chuck Dern. Charlie Dern. Charles Durning as the gilded lover.

I'm a tomato and a tomato can't sit down. That's why, you know, like I just. And the commitment to that. Because I have to be a tomato. Because the director wouldn't let me not be a tomato. Exactly.
Sorry, I had to.
No, it's it. It brings it out in me too, I understand.
Anyway, that's a great. But Terry Garr, also Young Frankenstein.

She came to me, and so the podcast is called Desperately Devoted.
Desperately Devoted, and your two co-stars are?
Andrea Bowen, who was my television daughter, and Emerson Tenney, who's my real-life daughter.
Yeah, who's pregnant.
And the thing that I thought was fun about that, because Andrea said, would you ever want to do this Desperate Housewives rewatch? And I was sort of like, you know, I don't know. But what I thought was interesting and what I like about podcasts, like you guys, for example, I just like friends talking. And when I'm doing my dishes, I've got my headphones on, I'm cleaning my house, whatever.
It's enough with the news and enough with the self-help. And, you know, I listen to those too. But I really like just the community and just the talking.
It's almost like having dinner. It's almost like that's because Dane and I will obviously talk over you the whole time. Perfect. It's like dinner.
When you're on a roll, looking really good, we tend to jump in. Sorry. I love it.
Stop the momentum.
