We did a couple plays together and we scored the O'Neill play writing festival.

We were younger and like, you know, you could have dogs in here.

I know.

It's the dog's vaccinated.

This is Death, Sex, and Money.

The show from WNYC about the things we think about a lot

and need to talk about more.

I'm Anna Sale.

When I still lived in New York, I frequently ate at a diner at the corner of 6th Avenue

and Waverly Place in Manhattan.

Just a few blocks up from WNYC's offices.

And I was back there a couple of weeks ago with Anna Bell, one of our producers.

Vaccine cards weren't the only thing that was different than the last time I was here.

Between the lines of boots, our Plexiglass barriers and everyone working was wearing masks.

But the restaurant did still have real menus instead of QR codes.

Those oversized diner kind, a dozen pages long or so, and plastic sleeves.

Anna Bell and I were at the Waverly diner to meet actor J. Smith Cameron.

You may know her from the HBO show Succession.

She plays Jerry.

General Counsel for a multi-billion dollar media conglomerate, who's the only adult in the conference room.

She takes care of business while everyone around her acts like a maniac.

In person, J comes off as warm and chatty and not even a little bit cutthroat.
