Hey, wonderfuls. Welcome to episode 587 of the JV Club with my guest, Star Stone. Star is a wonderful playwright, I will say, a comedian, actor. Very, very, very fun conversation, something I very much needed because we recorded this week during the LA fires. Hard to even put into words what that has been like. I know many of you

are Los Angeles dwellers. Max Fun folks seem to be doing okay for those of you who listen to

other Max Fun podcast. I want to reassure you of that. But there's just a tremendous loss in the city.

I don't want to stay negative. The point of all of this was to say that it was just very nice to have a normal, lovely conversation with someone in the midst of what has been a lot of, you know, chaos and sadness. So it's going to be really hard to walk away from this town to go to my other town, San Francisco for Sketchfest, but I hope when I'm up there,

I'll be, you know, just enjoying the feeling of being with people and, you know, having some

laughs and providing laughs for other people. So take care, enjoy this episode with Star,

and hopefully I'll see some of you at Sketchrest. It feels kind of good to talk to someone I don't know who's not here just to be like,

Hi, how are you?

Hi, Star.

Let's talk about your teenage years.

Oh my gosh, this is awesome.

What a great distraction.

Yes, that's what I'm here for.

Thank you.

Yeah.

It's so awkward.

Okay.

My awkward teenage years, gosh, why did I like, all of a sudden be like, yeah, let's talk about fires in my teenage years.

No, we're not going to do that.

We're not going to do that.

I mean, listen, a segue is a segue is a segue. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going,

my feelings won't be hurt. Our feelings won't be hurt. Where did you? Yeah, where were you in high
