0:00.0	Hello and welcome. Welcome to the Nerve. I'm Maureen Callahan. So the first person I would like to take Amat in our very first show is One John Hamm.
0:17.4	If you're looking for a holiday gift that shows real taste, care, and personality, check
0:22.8	out Firecracker Farm Hot Salt. It's the kind of gift that sparks joy and flavor. Now,
0:29.4	this is a small family run operation, and they care deeply about quality and craft. I love this
0:37.3	stuff. The flavor is a refined, savory heat. There's no brute

1:37.2	That is it.
1:38.2	Madmen, rage.
1:39.8	Bridesmaids, he's a douche, the town.
1:42.5	He's playing an FBI agent. He's the good guy. He still manages to make that guy a douche, the town. He's playing an FBI agent. He's the good guy.
1:45.0	He still manages to make that guy a douche.
1:47.0	Now he's in the show called Your Friends and Neighbors,
