Welcome to Our Hen House. This is Jasmine Singer. This is Marianne Sullivan. And this is our Henry Port, which we privately call Henry. This is our Henry Port. Get it? Henry. It is hilarious.

0:25.5

If I'm a little loopy, it's because you are a little loopy.

0:27.9

I have three hours behind you now, finally. Yeah, but you just went there like two days ago.

0:31.3

Do you complain to the people in Los Angeles that you have jet lag and to the people in New York that it's because of the time difference?

1:11.6

So that is your excuse for everybody? Uh-huh. I do. What's wrong with that? No? What's your excuse? And anyway, even if you were on LA time, which you can't have totally transitioned, it'd be like 8 o'clock in the morning. It's fine. Yeah. No excuses. It's fine. But you are, there's no doubt about it. You're a little out of it. The traveling is hard. I am staying with my best friend who lives out here. And then tonight I'm moving through the hotel. So she's still sleeping, which means I have only been talking to myself in my head today so far.

1:13.6

So how is L.A.? L.A., you know, I lived here for a few years, and I moved during the beginning of the pandemic.

1:20.7

And it's so funny.

1:22.5

I lived in New York City for, you know, nearly 20 years.

1:25.5

And anytime I go back to New York City or L.A., I'm immediately

like, nothing changed. Like, I'm immediately like, oh, yeah, I'm here now. I'm, like, but in New York,

1:36.1

like, everything changes all the time. Like, the store is a different store. And it's kind of so

1:40.9

exciting when you pass something and it's still the same thing. When I'm watching, a show that takes place in New York, I'm like, I know that I know what subway station they're at even if you don't see it in the background.

1:53.1

Especially since in New York, you're a pedestrian a lot. So you really do kind of absorb the street scene.

1:59.2

I swear like within one second of something coming on that's

2:03.5

filmed in New York, I know it was filmed in New York. What is that? How is that possible? It's just like

2:09.6

in your bones. I mean, like cities definitely have just different looks and I don't know why.

2:16.4

So, just a bunch of concrete. In my short time in L.A., I lived in three different places, Hollywood, Korea, town,

2:21.6

and then West Hollywood.

2:23.0

West Hollywood being its own city, not a neighborhood for people who don't know.

2:26.8

Well, like now we're getting into that whole L.A. thing, which nobody understands.

2:31.2

So the whole time I lived here, I passed the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, like a
