| 0:12.6 | There's a very named dropy story, but we were hanging out with Kevin Bacon. Who I hope we have on the show soon. |
| 0:18.1 | And Kevin told us an interesting story. Of course, there's no more recognizable face than Kevin Bacon's. He's got such a unique |
| 0:25.1 | look that make up artist friend of his prosthetics on him. He went to all the places that he couldn't go to with his Kevin Bacon face. |
| 0:34.1 | He went to the Grove and, you know, Universal City Walk and all these very public touristy places. And he said something along the lines of people were less friendly to him. |
| 0:43.6 | He interpreted as people being rude. He realized that it wasn't being rude. They just weren't being extra friendly. |
| 0:51.1 | For all those years, he had gotten the Kevin Bacon extra friendly treatment from the guy at the Sinabon. Be careful what you wish for. |

| 1:29.1 | Hello. |
| 1:29.6 | Yeah. There are two sides of being a recognizable person. With me, it's nothing. They have kind of a blase response. |

| 1:47.1 | Justin! Justin! |
| 1:49.1 | All these people looking at me and they wanted me to turn around and I res- and you know, 10 years ago I probably would have. |
| 1:55.1 | And they wanted you to turn around, not necessarily because they wanted to meet you, but because they wanted to verify their suspicion that it was in fact. |
| 2:03.1 | Yeah. But I wonder how Lena Dunham, my guest today, would handle something like that. |
| 2:09.1 | She's, I think, far more recognizable and also seems a lot better equipped to handle moments like that. |
