Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. We have our old, dear, wonderful friend, Jon Hamm, joining us today. And we are so excited to have Hambones here today. We are going to talk about so much good stuff. We're going to talk about auditioning. We're going to talk about the best position in baseball. We're going to talk about Bad Bunny.
We're going to talk about what he thinks Don Draper would be doing now. And we're going to talk about season two of his hit Apple show, Your Friends and Neighbors. John is just such a dear tenderoni underneath all that Superman muscle. And so we're going to get into it today. But we're going to start our episodes like we always do by talking to somebody who knows John.
And we've got a great one today. We have Roger Sterling himself, John Slattery, an incredible actor, director, writer, wonderful person who is... like kind of one of John's chosen brothers.
Chapter 2: What does Jon Hamm think about auditioning?
So let's see what he has to say and get him on Zoom. Hi, Slattery.
Chapter 3: What is Jon Hamm's favorite position in baseball?
This episode is presented by Allstate. Checking Allstate first could save you hundreds on car insurance. That's smart. Not checking that the fake roast chicken is, in fact, a fake roast chicken before chomping into a wing. Rookie mistake.
Chapter 4: How does Jon Hamm describe his character Don Draper now?
Yeah, checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate. Potential savings vary subject to terms, conditions, and availability. Allstate North American Insurance Company and affiliates.
Chapter 5: What insights does Jon Hamm provide about his show 'Your Friends and Neighbors'?
Northbrook, Illinois.
Wow.
Well, we're doing it. Slattery, I'm going to talk to him about this, but I just finished a Mad Men rewatch, by the way.
Whoa.
Wow.
How long did that take you?
A couple months. God, Roger Sterling is such an incredible character. Such a complicated guy that you just cannot help but love. And half the time you're like, why do I love this guy?
Although, I mean, not just him. I think everybody had, despite their... wrongheadedness or whatever moment, like just when you thought, well, this is just somebody who thinks like this. They do something incredibly human or funny or touching or whatever. I mean, he's, you know, that thing, all those characters had that.

Chapter 6: How does Jon Hamm reflect on his relationship with John Slattery?
Okay, so did you and Ham know each other before you worked on Mad Men? Uh-uh. So you met when?
I auditioned for his part. And they said, and I remember I called my agent back and was like, are you sure this is the part? Because... you know, I was beyond that age. And they were like, that's what they want. So I did all my homework and went in and read. And then Matt and Alan Taylor were there. And then they said, okay, so here's the thing. We already have this guy.
Hmm.
And I said, excuse me. And they said, well, your part isn't really visible so much in the first episode. So there wasn't much for you to read. We didn't think you'd come in. And I was a little like, and then, you know, he said, but I promise you, this will be a great part. So then I met him and I was like, oh, shit. You know, well, they certainly do have that guy.
Like I realized, you know, oh, that's what that guy looks like. Of course.
Yeah.
And then day one, he just sent me a picture the other night. two nights ago of his TV, wherever he was. And it was him at the desk and me sitting across with a drink. And I said, and I could tell from the suit and like my hair was diff something. And I said, is that day one? And he said, yeah.
No way.
Yeah.

Chapter 7: What does Jon Hamm reveal about his experiences on 'Mad Men'?
I'm you, too. I hope we get to hang out in some real way again. We got to be on it. We got to do a couple of scenes together once on a silly show called Wet Hot American Summer. On Netflix, we got to perform together and it was really fun. So I hope we get to do something again someday soon.
Me too. You know, I remember being so impressed that the difference between my own ability to sort of improvise and yours, which was like, oh, that's how, that's a person who knows how to improvise on story. Like not just divert and use some nugget that you have saved up or something, but like that you could do stuff that had to do with the actual action of the scene.
And I was just sort of, you and John early, I was watching this thing and I was thinking, man, these people are, this is, this is, this is different.
Well, when you don't quote, remember your lines, you have to, you have to have a trick. Yeah. You know, you have to, you have to be like, look over there. Well, Slattery, love you. Love seeing you. Give lots of love to Talia. Please give her my love.
Will do.
And thank you so much for this. And I'm sure Ham will be so happy that we talked.
Have fun saying hi to Ham for me. All right, buddy. Thank you so much.
Okay. Talk to you soon. Bye.
Bye.

Chapter 8: What are Jon Hamm's thoughts on the impact of Bad Bunny?
Ellie Kemper was one of my students when I went back to teach.
I know. It's so great.
Heather Goldenhirsch, who was a Tony-nominated actress. Stephanie Sanditz, Leslie Stevens, all these kids. Sarah Clark, who was in my class, was on 24, who dated Paul Rudd, believe it or not.
Right.
So we had this kind of weird concentrated energy that was very creative, but we were encouraged. So it was, I didn't know any actors, but I thought, well, why not me?
And they were like, we need a Willie Loman.
We need an 18 year old Willie Loman with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Yeah.
