| 0:00.0 | Hey it's Jake Halburn. We have a new limited series on my podcast Deep Cover out now all about George Santos. |
| 0:08.3 | That's like, you know, Mr. Ripley meets Catch Me if you can. |
| 0:12.7 | I mean, the guy hoodwinked everyone. |
| 0:15.4 | How did George Santos convince everyone |
| 0:17.9 | that he was someone else? |
| 0:19.6 | And how deep do his lies go? |
| 0:22.3 | Listen to deep cover George Santos on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Pushkin. You're going to the show. Yeah. Today I'm joined by actor, writer, and comedian Abby Jacobson. And that is how I would |
| 1:19.0 | normally introduce Abby if she was our guest today. But I turned 30 this week and to mark my birthday, Abby |
| 1:27.2 | Jacobson of Broad City fame and obviously so much more interviews me. She's been a supporter of Talk Easy long before she ever even came on Talk Easy. So when I was thinking about who I wanted to come and take the job over for a week. |
| 1:43.0 | She was the first person I thought of. |

| 2:08.0 | whether you've been here for a week or eight and a half years, which is when I started the show. |
| 2:14.4 | This is an episode that's in part a celebration of the podcast itself, |
| 2:18.4 | but also a little bit of my story, which listeners of this program will know, is not something I offer up very often. |
| 2:27.6 | This is a little bit different, and I hope you enjoy it. |
| 2:30.8 | It was kind of nerve-wracking to do and it's fun to thank Abby Jacobson again for |
| 2:35.8 | accepting this invitation and truly rising to the occasion. The amount of research she did was at once impressive and a little bit |
| 2:45.9 | scary and daunting. So with that, here is Abby Jacobson interviewing me. I hope you enjoy. All right. |
| 3:07.0 | Say I'm hi. |
| 3:08.0 | Hi, Abby. |
