This is an I Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Am I the A-Hole for publicly humiliating myself in front of S&L legend, Lauren Michaels?

Yes.

Do better.

This comes from Jesse Klein.

She says, one of my happiest memories as a kid around nine years old was staying up late to watch Saturday night live on the old black and white TV that I actually found in the trash area of my building and had convinced my parents to let me keep in my room. It's funny you have to convince your parents to like, it's not like a dog. No, you're like, look at very, this trash TV. It's got roaches coming out of it and they're like, I guess you can have that. Like, Ditch! Maybe that's why they...

Yeah, that's pretty weird though. Mainly so that I can stay up and watch Saturday Night Live. That's kind of cute. So there I was. There was just something magical and exciting to me about when the show would start. There was theme music, going to play over cool New York montage of the cast. and it made me feel really hip and alive,

like it was part of a cool club and not some nerdy girl who was watching a black and white TV that I found in the garbage. You just need to reframe that mindset. Exactly. Not black and white. It's. It's vintage. It's vintage. It's vintage. That's right. We have to do that again because it was really funny when we got. It's thrifted. And I'm just excluded. It's okay. Okay. One, two, three. It's thrifted. It's not the same. So one of the highlights from when I was 10 years old in full disclosure, there are no other highlights from when I was 10 years old because I was 10. But one of the highlights was that my best friend's dad took us to the 30 Rock, took us to 30 Rock to see a taping of S&L. And I remember that before the show started, I had to go to the bathroom. And to get there, I walked down the hallway of Studio and it was limed with photos like Gilda Radner. I don't know who it is. Bill Murray, know who that is. And I was like, oh my God, oh my God. They were here. I'm here. Oh, my God. And then I went to the bathroom and I took 15 paper towels and I put them in my pocket. Was she sweaty? No, that's just what you do. That's what you do. That's what you do. You've never... You've never... You've never......by making him sneeze

in one of the... put them in my pocket. Was she sweaty? No, that's just what you do. That's what you do. That's what you do.

You've never.

You've known Bill Murray by making him sneeze in one of the little things. I don't think I've never, I don't think I've ever taken 15 paper towels. Well, you don't know how to live. Maybe you're environmentally conscious. I am. to bring them home and put them in a little wooden box I had where I kept all my mementos.

You're right.

The only thing that it had on it was a unicorn. It was beautiful. I think the only other memento in the box at the time was like an acorn I had picked up on a trip to Woodstock. Nice. These are the things that you keep for the rest of your life. This is what matters. 15 paper towels and an acorn.

But anyway, on that visit, the host was Tom Hanks.

I know who that is.

And the musical guest was Aerosmith.

Oh, my God.

So it was awesome.

It was crazy.

And just when the night couldn't get any more perfect, afterwards, my friend's dad took us to an incredible dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, the coolest restaurant in the world. Cool. Kids on the block. Do we know how old? 10. 10. Dude, if you're 10 going to S&L and then going to the Hard Rock Cafe afterwards in New York. Highlight. Highlight. Greatest real life. Greatest day. All downhill from there, actually. A hundred percent. You've just peaked at 10. How does that feel? Ouch. I remember so clearly, it was the first velvet rope I ever walked past. And as I was walking past it, I was like, I feel famous.

It's just like Justine Bateman must feel all the time.
