The Hello and welcome to South Beach Sessions. I'm a giant admirer of this man not just because of the things that he makes but he seems to be one of the rare

Hollywood people who's not a phony asshole he is I'm assuming that you hide it okay bill Lawrence is the creator I love creators of

Ted Lasso shrinking spin cities scrubs and now a bad monkey on Apple TV

which is an homage to Carl Hyacinth, the Miami Herald columnist, and I am

thrilled that you are here with us and there are a number of things that I want to talk to you about because I am genuinely awed that and

and flattered and moved that people like you and Adam McKay and Mike Schur who have conquered

creativity in Hollywood to successfully make a number of different things

that you gravitate over on your own and volunteer that I love the thing that those guys make and do.

I don't have a professional flattery that's better than that. I want to talk to you

about a number of things, but when you text me that you're listening to South Beach

sessions and that you appreciate the vulnerability of South Beach

sessions. I wanted to come in here and talk to you about both what our relationship

is and why you sought it because I am really genuinely moved by the fact that someone with

your skill set would think any silly thing we do was worthy of your time and interest.

That's so crazy.

You know, look, I think the artists,

and I'm gonna call Dan and an artist.

I'm not sure if he's gonna like it.

I think artists that I admire, they have a self-deprecation level to them.

You just talked about Carl Hyacinth, but I would put you in the same vein of people that do something that they they

almost find it pretentious to say what I'm doing is art or it's changing the medium.

And I feel that you guys have done that here.
