Hello and in each episode of this podcast we're going to bring you an anonymous

morsel of gossip from the real world. Today is a very exciting day in that I have

brought you a special treat and the special treat is Alex Sujan Laughlin my co-creator.

Oh my goodness, it's so exciting to be here in an official capacity.

You know her already.

She's terrible at taking pills.

She's the world's foremost Jack Antonoff scholar.

She only likes to drink fimbles of wine and baby nagronies.

She's defector supervising producer

and everyone's favorite.

Welcome, Alex. How do you feel about being the guest? I feel

a little nervous it's silly because like I've obviously been on the show several

times. Last night at dinner I I was like, wait a second, am I nervous?

Am I ready?

Oh my God, do I have a gossip story to share?

I don't think you should be nervous because something that the

listeners maybe don't know a little behind the scenes action if you will is that

we do like essentially a dress rehearsal for every single episode, right?

Like, we run through the story as a team and make sure that it all makes sense

and then all the jokes are good before we record it with the guest.

Usually you are the guest for the run-through.

So like in some ways you have more experience as a guest than anyone who's ever been here.
