But before we get into the episode

It is, man

G just had at the time of this recording, an amazing birthday. I don't even want to know what, are you someone that's not into birthday numbers or you are I don't care. I really don't care. I get, it's so funny when I tell my age and then people are like, what? I'm like, do you, do you not see like that's a little bit like insulting? Yeah, like totally rude. Well, you do look, they're probably, you do look amazing though. I feel like you're someone who's looked young. It is true. It's true. You've looked young your whole life, I feel like. Right? I think so. Yeah, I have a, I feel like I have a. But then there's people like, you know, there's people like B. Arthur who looked probably like she was 65 when she was 19. You know what I mean? Yeah. Don't I look so good and so young? You look so. I feel like you, you're getting younger and younger looking. Do you ever look back at the episodes? Like, even watching this episode, some of them close-ups on Huck. I was like, oh, damn. I feel like I look. Oh, damn what? Like, good or back? No, like I felt like I looked almost older back then in certain shots. I don't know why. Really? Oh, my God. I thought we look like babies. Like Like if we look young for our age now, I look at us on scandal, I feel like we look like full-blown teenagers. Like I feel like we look like so young. It's insane. Sometimes you ever think like, how did I get cast? I look like a kid. Like, how did I get cast in this role? I know. How did anyone believe that I could be someone that, like, has a job? Yeah. Or, like, a backstory. Yes. This episode is amazing. We have in store for our gladiators today, probably their most favorite guest. Ever. If I would put money on it. Listen, this is what an important, like, special guest this is. We're taping on a freaking Saturday. Oh, my God. It's a Saturday. How many Saturdays did we work on Scandal? Oh, my God. We worked a bunch of Saturdays on scandal. So the weekends were not 48 hours. They were like 36 at best.

Yes.

And we loved it.

We would do it all over again.

This bitch made us record on a Saturday.

Look, she's busy.

She's busy.

She's got a very busy life, a very busy personal life.

It's a very full life.

And we're very grateful to have her because gladiators, like I've said before, it is your most favorite number one guest of guests of all time. She has been on the

pod once before. She has. And she's gracing us with her presence yet again.

Oh, dear. I love you so much

We love you so much

Thank you for coming on this again

We've been teasing you
