We love Brian!!!! I loved this conversation so much!!!!! Full disclosure, we kept thinking of things to talk about, so enjoy our many "endings" that turned into other stories LOL

Brian Stack played Ted in Article Two, and the jeweler when Ann and Chris go to the jewelery store, BUT he was a writer on Conan for 18 years, he currently writes for Stephen Colbert and I talked his ear off about it all! We discuss his beginnings in Second City in Chicago, how he knew Amy Poehler, and advice for young sketch performers. I ask 800 questions about his Conan characters too and it's so cool to see the inception of it all! We also got some great behind the scenes tidbits about cracking an egg on Amy Poehler's head and how he was glad they used a stunt man! Plus, we discuss New Girl, 30 Rock and more shows he was a guest star on!

Brian is the nicest, most grateful person and I am so lucky and honored to have spoken with him about his time in this industry! His gratitude is inspiring and I wish him nothing but the best. Please be sure to check out this compilation of characters, and check out his writing on the Colbert Show!!!!!

Oh dear, it's Recall Vote day, and we are all emotional. Ben and Ann set up a task force to help Leslie stay distracted, Tom makes some great entrepreneur decisions and we get introduced to Bloosh!!!

It's so interesting to see the parallels between Tom and Leslie, and the inspiring way they bounce back. And om em squee, we love destructive Ben and Leslie.

Plus, we hear from Craig Stepp, who played the Eagletonian supporting Leslie (even though they weren't going to vote for her.... ugh) 😂 Thank you so much for the great voice memos, so cool!

Today, Leslie fights for our voting rights!!!!!!!

We talk about the history of the filibuster, the (early) 90s vibes, and get an awesome location breakdown for the skating rink, which is now a resource of the unhoused in the Los Angeles valley (follow the links below)!

We also have a tangent regarding Orphan Black starring Tatiana Maslany, who plays Nadia, (check that out when you can, it's on Netflix now!) Also, we come up with a new friendship name of "Ronna" for Donna and Ron spending time together! Love!
