Belong to.

Ye.

Part of the thing song is instrumental, and part of it is sung by Ellie Kemper, And every single time it's better and better. It doesn't get any better than that because we're live. This is our first live taping. You're in New York City, in New.

York City at the hard Rock Hotel.

The hard Rock Hotel.

God you guys, Scott, New York City.

I hope everyone had a great week. It's been a crazy week, Scott. Was there anything from the week specifically that you loved?

Ellie? There was? As the thing is, I live in Los Angeles, so I had to come out here for this tape. Sure, been in New York for a couple of days now, brought my family. We may have made a mistake. On Friday night, we took them to see Back to the Future of the Musical. Last night we went to see Harry Potter, and tonight they're going.

To this show.

To that we're gonna deliver it.

But here's what I loved, and I didn't expect to love this else. Sure, watching ice skating. When's the last time you and I we went to Rockefeller Center. Guys, we've paid a million dollars skates and is there an experience in the in life where where there's so much joy is derived from eating?

Oh?

They just everybody's falling down constantly.

For a second, Scott, I thought you meant you were like consuming Freedom's as you watched the people skate.

That's not far from the tree y, Yeah, watching everyone else.

You were watching everyone else, But you said eating right?

No, yeah, no, I meant falling down, going down.

And also apologies to your he does not normally talk that way.

He should not be in front of your children. But you mean watching them.

It's the mom and me watching them fall, watching people fall.

Everybody falls, and I mean practically everybody. There's ten percent of people who are awesome at it and they've never been happier. They're just zooming around, stopping skating. They're impressing themselves. And guess what, I'm impressed with them too. Kudos everybody else falling on their relentlessly. And Ellie, can you ice skate?

I'm not bad at ice.

I was waiting for you to ask, I am sort of good at ice skating.

I expected that, and I expected you to be very proud of it. Are you the one who's like skitting around.

Skating around.

I'm good out there. I'm very good at rollerblading. It's funny you brought this up because I was, like every young person time, I obsessed with the Winter Olympics and watching.

The figure skaters. Yum, what was Christy Amagucci is? Yeah, tonight, I did you do this?

It's so delusional, but I thought if only I had been out in the rink, I too could have grown to that level. I could have gotten to the ranks of skaters went wrong.

What would you need to like if you back to the future day, if you were in the DeLorean and you went back, yep, what's the one change you would have taken for you to have to have been an Olympic figure skater?

One ice skating lesson?

I would have begun to take an ice skating because I never I just went skating a parties.

But I thought I was very good at it.

And Ellie, it's more than just a love. I'll tell you the truth. It was a little bit of a life lesson.

Tell me.

Because they were on the ice, I think that's what you say. Yeah, my two children, they're on the ice for a full hour. They fell about sixty times. I think you may hear my daughter and guess what, by the end of that hour, they could skate. So I was very impress. My daughter kept falling, my son fell in his butt. My daughter kept falling on her knees, which seems like it would hurt a lot more. And every time she would skip by, I'd be like, hi, you having fun? You having fun? And she'd I hurt my knee really bad when I'm having fun. And then by the end she heard her knee so badly she was just streaming tears. But we were like, do you want to go again? She's like, gosh, you that isn't the way to approach life. I don't know what it is.

I don't know what it is.

When you fall down, of course you have to get back up. That's exactly what Jenny and Jack did. I envied that they had that experience.

Today.

It teaches resilience, it teaches resolve, and those two children are personifying that.

I hope. So, yeah, was there anything in this week that you loved?

Llan?

You know what, My four year old had a cold all week.

I was not expecting to talk about it, but here I'm revealing he had a cold and he was home from school all week and that changed. While at first I was oh, now I got to reschedule everything, then it was just like the pandemic. Suddenly you're home with children, spending time that you didn't expect to spend together.

So it was nice.

I don't want to jump the gun on things that we love or don't, but how do you feel about being sick yourself? Oh, I'm talking to mild cold?

Yeah, I think you know. I love it?

Who doesn't? Who does their heart love a mild cold?

And you mean, is it mild enough that you are at home and you can cancel events because of it?

Exactly? Mild enough for it to be an excuse for you to get out of anything you don't want to end.

Absolutely, just enough to keep you out of commission, which is great.

Yeah, just an excuse to stay in bed and like have other people make food for you and watch TV and streaming. That's like what I desire.

Yep, yeah, I know. Do you ever try to catch a gold from someone like?

No?

I had like that chicken pox strategy? Yeah, no, I haven't. Maybe I should try that. You might try?

You try it? Well?

Leading up to weddings that I didn't want to attend.

You know, suddenly it's like, Oh, I don't like sidle up to people on the subway, but if someone I know who's close to me has a cold, I don't not stand near them or kiss them.

Have you ever faked a cold?

Uh?

Oh, faked an actual cold.

To get out of something?

No?

But do you know I don't believe it for a second.

Well, what did you mean like texted I'm feeling under the weather.

Or do you mean like talking like you have a cold.

Well, now, the fact that you had such felicity talking like that, I think you've definitely done it.

But remember I'm an actor, Scott, I can, I can?

I can?

I can disappear into my cold characters like that. Do you have a sandwich? Sorry, that's me with a cold asking for a sandwich? Do you have a said which I could have?

That's that seems like a pretty unconvinced you had me until the sneeze. No, I've never have you I faked a cold? Well, probably all the time. I mean, come on, I mean in my twenties, every hangover.

Was a cold.

Yeah, right, but.

I have a vivid memory now, Now, kids, plug your ears. I had a vivid memory of when I was probably ten and I tried to fake I had a cold, but then I got better and I didn't want anyone to know that I was better, and I didn't want to go to school. And I had this vivid memory of laying in my parents' bed and they gave me the glass thermometer and it was under my tongue, and as soon as they left the room, I like put it up against the light bulb and I was like, Oh, it's going to heat up this thermometer. It took me years to realize that my mouth is certainly warmer than like the surface of a light bulb.

News to me, I didn't know that.

I tried it, and then my dad walked in and he caught me red handed. And never in my life have I ever been caught so red handed to me anything.

Oh, he saw you actually holding.

Up its supposed to be in my mouth, and he saw me touching it to light like yeah.

I was on the phone once talking to Layla Merrill, and I was what a dork shipper?

I was quoting faris what a door dorkshipper? When something so dorky that you just shiver because of it.

It was Major Dorkshipper's ool and I was talking to Layla Merrill, but I was quoting Ferris Bueller's Day Off and now I can't remember exactly what, but it was like when he's talking about faking being sick, and I was talking about that to Layla.

But my mom was also on the line.

I guess she just didn't hang up after I call it, so she was faking being sick. This story is coming back to me as I'm telling it, which is why it's not fully making sense.

She was your mom was snooping on you and misunderstood the snooping. What was your punishment?

I guess I was sick, and so she was like, are you actually sick? The punishment was nothing. The punishment was tell me the truth or I don't know, you'll go to hen.

The punishment. Yeah, right at the end of the day.

Speaking of no punishments, this is our segue. Always we say the last word that we just said, and then we say, speaking of.

Joy, speaking speaking of life lessons, We're going to bring on someone outstanding who's going to teach us a whole bunch of life lessons. She's a brilliant, hilarious comedian Sam Jay. She's an Emmy nominated writer, stand up actor, and producer. Sam wrote for Saturday Night Live before creating and starring in her own television comedies Pause with Sam Jay and also bust Down. Her first HBO comedy special, Sam Jay Salute Me or Shoot Me came out this fall and is available to stream on Max. She also stars in the hip Netflix movie You People, and Sam is here to talk about her love of TV sitcoms. Let's give Sam a big, warm welcome.

Welcome, Sam, thank you so much for being here.

There's a lot more swearing on this show than I expected.

Oh I'm relieved.

I know that was.

Actually, which is also shocking in the audience.

You were in New York usually live in Los Angeles. You maybe felt like, I don't know, gritty New York City.

You just had to.

Exactly right.

My mom, She's like, and now we are Catholic, but I'm not going to because I said it.

I went to Catholic school.

Oh see, you did. I thought that you did.

I did. Are you still from Boston?

I went to Catholic school from the home. I was in like kindygarten until eighth grade I graduated.

I couldn't go to any I was so bad. I was very bad. I was a bad kid. What did you do?

I used to mess with the nuns and just disrupt the system. And uh, I came like notorious within the Catholic community.

Yep.

And so I was gonna go to this Catholic high school. I went for the interview and they were like, yeah, we know who you are.

And we're waiting for you.

And I was like, oh no, I can't go there. So then I was like maybe Saint Mark's and I got the same response. And so I kind of like was blacklisted from the Catholic School Network of Boston and I ended up having Tom go to like a suburban public school.

Wait that I didn't even how was such a I mean it happened, so it clearly was possible.

Can you name a few I used.

To do a lot of stuff. I used to do a lot of stuff. One, I was just like inquisitive, but I would purposely like push the precip and stuff like that. You know, you had religion class. Did you go to Caplic School?

So you know school I went to.

But I did go to Sunday.

School okay, So every week in Catholic school you have religion and like every week you have a religion book and you do like it's like religion workbook. It's really dumb when you think about it.

It's like Jesus died the cross b a.

Rocky spaceship and you're like the girls, you know what I mean.

Stupid.

But we were in religion class and the priest came and he was talking about the disciples and how they could only be met and I was like why and then he was like becauz And I was like, well, what if it's a trans man?

And the priest did not like that, so I got in trouble for it.

Yes, I used to like go into the church and I would dip my hand in the holy water and no, actually it burnt me.

I used to do stuff.

Did anyone like that's funny? Anyone like the kids? The kids, but the nuns would.

Not they would not laugh. I also went and confessed and they didn't like that.

Oh.

They would make me go to confession and I'd be like, I don't have nothing to say, and.

They knew I was bad. You do have things.

I'm fine with all my decisions actually they're like confessing for you.

They're like, well what about the time.

They're like, yeah, that happened. That was fine. I would make up things in confession so I didn't sound as bad as oh my things were not.

I wasn't like pulling pranks.

But anything that I did do as I started to say it, I was like, oh, that sounds like a bad thing.

You would edit it.

Yeah, I would edit it as I was going. So it was like only half a sin, you're not Have you been to confession?

No, I'm.

No.

I've never been to confession one time.

This is so crazy, right, So you know, you go in the box and you can't see him and you can't see you, and that's the way to make it easier. But I wouldn't say anything. So they made me like meet with him in the rectory so he could like face sneaking.

Because they were trying to break me. And it was and he's like, do you still have nothing to say?

And I was like no, So are you a practicing Catholic? Now?

No? I said that. I don't know if you can see that just the subtlest edge. So are you are.

One of the as someone who is raising her two boys cath like, I'm like, can we bring you back? Okay, First of all, I'm still impressed by just the Boston Archdiocese having it together enough to be like, do not let her into it.

They were organized.

It was the best for both of us.

Yeah, exactly right on YouTube at the end of the day, when is it a conscious unc.

Sam sitcoms?

YEA?

What do you love about them?

I love TV, and I'm just like a TV head kind of raised in front of the TV by my choice. Like I used to tell time by the television, Like I knew what time it was by what was on TV one of those kids. So I like all types of TV, but sitcoms they just feel good. Yeah, even when you know the laughs are coming and you know when you know setting you up to laugh, when you do get that release, it's still just feels so good and there's something so just basic humanity about it. It's just like these are our real drivers. We just like, we want to be loved, we want to have friends, yep. And it really just hits our core yep.

And that's why I love him. They're great.

I kind of think like the more formulaic almost the better because that's the comfort.

So it's like you said, it's like you know, when the you can like feel it's like married.

With children and like you know, albuny flushing the toilet, you know what I mean. It's like, you know, and he's gonna flush it, and you know, but you laugh every time and you're like, yeah, he flushed it.

Yeah.

Yes. What were some of your favorites sitcoms growing up?

I watched so much television. I liked Small Wonder a lot as a kid.

Yeah.

Robot, Yes, she wasn't a baby. She was a teen preteen okay, pre teen Yeah, I would say a strong eleven thicky. The robot was at least eleven years old.

I all right, did you watch it? Well? I watched it enough to know that it's about a child.

Yeah, it's about a child robot that the father built and then he brings it home and he has a son around Vicky's age, and then they become like friends. But it's about like this robot processing all this like regular preteen stuff. Like they try to get her to join a gang and smoke cigarettes.

It's like, what is Vicky gonna do? Is she gonna join the gang?

You know?

Like they would just keep putting her.

That's a very.

It was a girl gang. You don't remember that episode. It was a girl gang. They all wore leather jackets and they smoked after school and then the Vicky got down with them and she was smoking after school.

What is that actress doing?

Now do we know?

Vicky?

Yeah, she wasn't really first that was really.

That was really AI.

Was like first at no, I don't know. It was kind of whacked that they would put her in the closet at the end of the night. Thought, I really never liked that. Now, you know, the closet like bedtime Vicky. And it was like, that's kind of messed up. You can leave her out in the kitchen, you know what I mean.

Like she's not she hasn't. Was she charging in there or no?

They would kind of like put her in sleep.

Mode like yes, and then and then did they vacuum right right?

Right right?

Did they communicate with that pyramid? Is that what it was they were talking that.

You're talking about another one out of this world? That was the one where the girl's father was an alien, he lived on another planet. She communicated with him through that pyramid. How her and her mother had sex. They never explained, but they never told us really how like she just kind of came from space.

I don't know.

That is the premises of the show, because now I'm thinking of alf and all.

This that's not Yeah, white family adopts strange creature is one of my favorite genres.

Actually, I like.

I like Harry and the Henderson like why family takes on things you shouldn't let live in your house.

I like, I have a.

Question about small wonder. I don't want to bring it back to VICKI necessarily is Vicky masquerading as a regular child or is everybody aware that she's a robot?

I think the family only knows.

I don't clearly remember, but I feel like when she would go to school, people just thought she was another little girl and that was the whole deal. But the family knew like she was a robot because the smoking episode. That's why they freaked out, because it was gonna mess up her motherboard.

It wasn't but like.

It was fine if she was a regular eleven year old.

This was gonna mess you up as a robot, you know what I mean?

So though like the people didn't know yep, right, she did wear the same thing every day.

That's why it's just a red dress.

Dress with like a little way we look and saying oh top yep.

So why why that never changed? Do we know the reason for that?

Because they only had one outfit for the robot.

Yeah, they didn't think about multiple outfits yep.

Because it was a guy who made the robot.

Yeah, yeah, was the outfit a part of her? Was she built? Was that just her exterior or itself?

Because they would have to take her outfit off sometimes to fix her, like if something would go wrong.

I remember watching I like.

That there are people getting educated about.

This, like, yeah, it would make sense to take the outphant off.

As time has passed, I feel like Golden Girls reached a level of like new appreciation.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it was like I watched it when it was on, did you yeah? And did you really enjoy it?

As I did? It was fine? I was like really, like I was like a kid kid.

I didn't like old people's stuff, Like if it was old, I didn't want to Like I didn't want to see it. It was like get it out of my face. I'm a kid, give me give me kids TV. Like I would I would check it, like is this kids programming? If it's not, I don't want to watch it.

It's got to be about me.

Yeah, we were like the first generation that I grew up in that Nickelodeon ever where there was a whole like channel kind of like this is all for you twenty four to seven. So I kind of was like, Yeah, what do I need to be watching old people talk?

Right?

Right?

I could watch Clarista explains at all or like hey dude, or so you know, like I just I don't need to be watching these oldloody talk. But sometime when I hang out with my mom, I don't know, Like I'm like Designing Women.

That was like one that I liked watching.

My Wow, I never watched that show.

I never watched Designing I watched you ahead time.

I was like, now there will be a lot of stuff that I'm about. Sound like an alien visiting earthen.

Designing Women was awesome.

Yeah, was Designing Women on around Murphy Brown.

Yes, because I used to watch Murphy Brown.

My parents were reporters and they just loved Murphy Brown Brown. And then Murphy Brown like made a joke about Dan Quayle or something. Yeah, and then it was a national scan.

Wow, I love the.

TV mattered that much. I know a sitcom mattered that much. Like you can make like a political statement and it would be everywhere the next day. There's just so much stuff to watch now that sometimes stuff feels less special like it used to like to be continue and you'd be like, oh, I can't wait.

I cannot wait till next week. Man, really I missed that, but I do remember that.

And then you had to wait, and the joy of having to wait a week for that.

Designing women were they designers, They were interior designers.

They were all they had a firm. Oh okay in the South, Yeah you missed out. Baby. Doesn't this sound a bazy?

Yeah?

You know it does sound really good. Well, you wouldn't have watched this. I watched a lot of empty nests.

I did watch empty nests. You don't know my life.

I did watch empty Nest. I like that guy.

Okay, and also just the Ten of Us Now, no, that was too white. I was like and there was no there was no like adoptee.

Yeah.

I didn't care about that. But I did do like Party of Five.

You know, I never watched I never watched Party five.

I told you so what I watched grow you. Well, this is the question I always have for my parents.

We were all in love with Bailey at one point and that's what we were doing as of the country.

Yeah, are you going to create a sitcom?

Do you think that something is that on.

Most want to do for I want to make yes.

Yeah, yeah, I think that would be fantastic.

I would love to do that. Yeah.

I feel like it's so mysterious to me what keeps something on the air and what doesn't because I always by like one example of something that I watched growing up, which was Seinfeld, and I always thought like that is so unlikely that that would have captured enough viewers, right because it's so it's four individuals on the Upper West Side New York City, Like, why would we all watch that across America?

But we did. You never know what's going to like Resident.

We didn't really like sun Felt. We just didn't have to do.

We had nothing like Thursday. So okay, I guess.

So.

I don't know how old you are, but did you watch Family Tis?

Yes, I'm a Michael J. Fox. Yeah, I was down with anything Michael J. Fox. When I was younger, and I thought I like boys.

I had like a run where I was just like in love with all those like white boys that look like that. I don't know what was going on with me, but I was like in love with Fred Savage. I was in love with Ricky Schroeder. I was in love with Michael J.

Fox Like. I was like being like a little tiger beat idiot for a while.

Did you watch naj and O.

Absolutely okay from beginning to end? YEP, Me and my friend did. We boycotted it at one point. We took like four weeks off because we were mad that Donna didn't lose her virginity to David. We were like, this is a conspiracy by Aaron Spelling. He doesn't want his daughter to lose her virginity on TV or whatever. We're done with this, and we didn't for like four weeks. We were like, no, this show was unrealistic because we wanted Donna to give it up.

We were like eleven, and we were like we live in about it.

We got to be like twelve. We were like, I remember that. We were very upset.

Well, I have to ask, because now I guess the strikes over.

We can talk about anything we want, but I have to ask that we can cheering for the strike.

We should do Halloween over again so we could wear the costs. And right, well, can I ask what you're watching now? My fiance is much like you, And there's about ten years of her life where she did not watch TV at all. Okay, like when I met her, she didn't have a TV in her apartment.

She just read books and like listen to music like a door.

But now this is like our first time consistently living together, yep, and I have a TV in every room, you know, So now she's like a TV junkie. I feel kind of bad. I feel like I hooked her on a drug, you know I do. Sometime I see her and she's been in front of it all day, and I'm like, I did something awful. She was so much better without this. But she has never seen Scandal, so she I know that's how I felt. So she's been watching Scandal, and I'm so jealous because one she doesn't have to deal with the commercials and she doesn't have to wait weekly, so she's like powering through it.

But it's been fun because.

She'll just blow up my phone all day She's like, what Jake, I hate him?

Now I love this?

Oh my god, they stolen Olivia and I'm.

Like, she just having the time of her life, you know.

What I mean. Scandal's phenomenal. The thing about Scandal is that when you thought that it could not top itself, it did Scandal again and again and again and again. How many assassinations and every.

Time I cared every time. You know, oh no, it's good. It's just good TV, Like that's what good TV?

Does?

You know?

It's dumb And you're like, I don't care.

This is all unrealistic, But get her back from Bodi up right, y, Yeah, she can't meet here.

The thing that was so well one of the things that I admire about the show is that it balanced those steaks with also just like who's hooking up with? Yes, yes, you're sexy. It's that there's show.

I want to Jake and Olivia to be having sex all the time, and he was just like half sex, Now, why are you talking?

So it was like, have you seen a show called Designated Survivor?

No?

I haven't.

Do they do the fast talking like Scandal, Like you're gonna think that you can do this tonight? But you cannot do this tonight because I came over here today to let you know that you will not be there tonight because of the President.

Actually I've been moving to another location.

No designated survivors that near smartest scandal.

Talk real fast.

No matter what they're saying, does not matter the content and what they're saying. I just have to bring up something, which is that you worked on Saturday Night Live for today seasons. Not a big deal.

And you knew.

My husband's a writer and he worked there while you were there too. And my husband's name is Michael Coleman, and he adores you. Of course I love oh, I do he always. I mean not that you haven't always loved him, but he has always. Am I putting on the spot if I ask you to tell you about Okay.

So, her husband used to have this habit at work when we would get our residual checks, he would try to look at other people's checks.

He would do this a lot, like We've caught him on several occasions.

And like me and my friend Gary Richardson, who was my writing partner on the show, we would like really like be relentlessly like you have a problem if this is like, why are you doing this?

Why do you need this? Like what is wrong with you?

And if you know Coleman, he's a I don't know to explain his personality's strange. Yeah, yeah, but it's not like a get in your way straight, No, it's a it's a quiet strange and if you want to get it, you gotta kind of rustle the leaves a little bit to see, like what's going on? Yes, And so he would just respond like I just want to know, and we'd be like what does that mean though, Bro'?

Like how do you want to know?

And then he was leaving to pursue other endeavors and me and Gary were like, yo, as a gift, we should take one of our residual checks because you know, you digitally deposit them, and we should frame him and we should give it to COVID as a parting gift.

So we did that.

We framed two checks and we gave it to him and he was truly so happy, like the reaction when he opened it and got to see and he just smiled and then he like held it and I was like this really mattered to him? Yes, So wait, what was the joy?

The thoughtfulness of the gift or was it finally knowing that.

We gave it to him, not in a kind way. We were like Herrick Coleman, you're sick.

And I don't know if it's like a curiosity of like, oh what do other people?

I don't know.

What's No.

He wants to know that he's making more money.

That's it.

That's it.

That is all that it is. It is that he wants to be assured that he is making more money. Yep, yep.

And he characterized that gift as the greatest gift he's ever received.

And then you guys have a child, and we have a child. We have too, so you so you know what kind of man. We're gonna play a game that we always play on this show. Sure, it's called love It or Low.

What we're going to do is give several topics. You're going to tell us if you love that thing or you loathe that thing. There can be no in between. There's no gray area here. Okay, you're all in or you're all out.

And there's a very special twist to this edition of Love It or Loath It. All of these love it or loathed topics have been suggested by the audience.

Okay, Sam, this one's from Niki. Love it or Loathe it? Auditions?

Loathe it? Why I'm so bad at them? I'll come so bad at auditioning.

I'm so uncomfortable. It's so weird and awkward. I don't know what to do with myself. I've never successfully done an audition.

No, that has to be.

You're a hugely successful comedian, I promise you now, I did you audition?

Did you audition as a performer for Sunday Saturday Live?

Or did you audition?

I auditioned as a performer, and then I got a writing job because that's how I auditioned.

Bad Well.

I also auditioned for Saturday Life and I did not get offered a writer. So well done. Wait, what did you do as your impressions for Saturday Night?

I didn't do any but they knew I wasn't gonna do anything because I don't do impressions.

I just did set up. It was Actually, it wasn't bad. It was pretty good.

As I don't know, I don't know.

I like every time I've gone to an act audition I did.

It's awful. It's terrible, yeah, and it's it's artificial.

Because you're weird.

You so like the lady in the room is a mean That lady is mean, Bro, I've never had a nice one of them camera lady people that just are aired for you to do it in front of them.

They all been mean as hell?

Right, don't they want the best product?

Right?

It's like they automatically take you out of it, you know what I'm saying, because they're like mean, like the Matilda lady mean, yo, for real, real quick. I went to an audition once for a cartoon called Craig and the Creek that's actually out on Cartoon Network, and I was supposed to be Craig and he's like a seven year old.

Boy or whatever. And I go in and read the voice and they're like, you did great, Sam, this is awesome.

And then I walk out and there's a seven year old boy sitting in the lobby and I'm like, why did you play this game with me?

Like? What?

Since? What the hell are you doing? You have adults competing with seven year old kids for the role of a seven year old kid. That's so crazy. This kid don't get it. It's like, I don't need to be thinking that about a child, bro, that's nuts. That's the game. That's the game, you know. Like, No, man, I don't like that.

Love it her loathed sam suggested by Molly out in the audience, gaspacho, Oh wow, it's a chilled soup. I think from Spain?

Is it is it?

Is it always tomato?

I don't know.

I love it. I love it?

Oh you do it.

I don't like soup.

I hate soup. I don't even when I'm sick.

I don't want to.

My fiance doesn't get it. She's because she loves soups. What is always trying to put a souper me? I'm like, I don't want it.

I feel sick after.

I don't like soup. It's just like it's just a big bowl of hots.

There was one bowl of soup I liked, and it was Mats of All soup when I had COVID, and that like healed me from the inside out.

It was the bone I got my one soup. It's like a coconut curry.

Like so that sounds delicious, yeah, but no, otherwise it takes so long.

First of all, I don't like hot food. I like my food to be I don't like to eat my food hot. So it's just like labor to eat soup.

Oh I know.

And the worst is when you are already sick and you're told to drink eat chicken noodle soup and it's like repulsive, but you have to do it.

Yep. And worse than that, a chilled soup.

No, so chilled soup seems soft.

It seems like why are we even playing soup games?

No exactly.

Spot Sorry, sorry Molly, who I hope she? I hope she's a lowther sam loving or loaded. This is from Zoe. Star Wars love it.

This is people who know the stuff. I like, it's gotta be Star Wars. Yeah.

I'm a huge Wars because I like space stories. It's not nerdy Star Trek ones.

I like cool ones, all right, cool space stories.

Yeah. What makes Star Trek nerdy and Star Wars was like, Hey, there's a battle going on in space for people's humanity and souls and we're gonna get it in and people's heads off with swords.

Shoot people, steal babies, do what we gotta do.

And the Star Trek is just like science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, science, one slow ass fight science.

Fair enough, all right, I'll take you out. My last one, Sam, Love It or Loathed? Suggested by Jenny. I suspect is my daughter, but don't know cowboys.

I like this one. This is a complic Katie one.

Jenny.

Oh yeah, because I don't like like cow like good cowboys. Like I'm not like a Clint Eastwood or oh yeah, like I don't like a good cowboy. It's like I'm just here to do righteous stuff. I like a like a bandit, but bandits could still be cowboys.

Yes, yeah, so.

I love it love cowboys.

Yeah, you won the game, Sam, Sam, thank you so much.

Thank you.
