Summary

Seth steps away from bleak and depressing news to share a news story about a Connecticut man fighting a traffic ticket for talking on his cell phone while driving by proving it wasn’t a phone - it was a hash brown.

Then, Beanie Feldstein talks about Booksmart, describes the film's parallels to Superbad and tells the story of when she first met Olivia Wilde.

She also takes a few more questions backstage at Studio 8G.
