00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:39,626
I'm writing to tell you
that I won't be joining you
170
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:42,295
in the new year, as they found
a permanent replacement.
171
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:44,631
When we first met,
you were unforgiving,
172
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:46,883
and gotta be honest,
pretty disrespectful.
173
00:07:46,966 --> 00:07:49,010
But things changed.
You challenged me
174
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,930
and reminded me why it's worth
showing up, even when it's hard.
175
00:07:52,013 --> 00:07:54,974
I will miss teaching you.
You're like the Dashwood sisters.
176
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:58,311
Smart, adventurous,
and suspicious of newcomers.
177
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:00,730
I won't compare myself
to any of the male characters,
178
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:03,858
since they're all love interests,
and that would be weird.
179
00:08:03,942 --> 00:08:05,735
All the best, Mr. W.
180
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,988
Kel? We're ready for you.
181
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:10,281
Thank you, Bianca.
182
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:20,208
Oh. Hey.
Good morning.
183
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:21,960
Is it cool if I join you in here?
184
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:26,005
Yes, multiple people can do laundry
at the same time.
185
00:08:26,089 --> 00:08:29,384
Sorry, I don't know the etiquette.
It's my first time washing my own clothes.
186
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:32,303
Well, welcome.
187
00:08:32,387 --> 00:08:34,931
Oh, hey, how was Aspen?
Did you ski?
188
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:36,349
Tell me you didn't buy a cowboy hat.
189
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:39,018
Oh, my God, you did?
190
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,187
You bought a cowboy hat.
You tourist!
191
00:08:41,271 --> 00:08:43,022
No, I didn't go to Aspen.
192
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:45,066
Oh, Bill cheaped out?
You did Snowmass?
193
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:47,277
You can call it Aspen.
I won't tell anyone.
194
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,446
No, Bill took his ex-girlfriend.
They're back together.
195
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:50,822
He dumped me.
196
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:55,410
Oh, man. AJ, I'm so sorry.
I had no idea.
197
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:56,870
Yeah, same.
198
00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,664
I just fell hard for someone
who turns out
199
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:01,750
had little to no real interest in me.
200
00:09:03,752 --> 00:09:06,129
-[laughing]
-What?
201
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:10,592
It's just, if the Philadelphia
Thirst Monster
202
00:09:10,675 --> 00:09:14,095
is thirsty outside of Philly, is she still
the Philadelphia Thirst Monster?
203
00:09:14,179 --> 00:09:15,472
[laughing] Motherfucker!
204
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,765
[both laughing]
205
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,349
[dryer buzzing]
206
00:09:19,517 --> 00:09:21,644
God, I wish I didn't have
to go to work today.
207
00:09:21,728 --> 00:09:23,229
Just take PTO.
208
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:24,981
My dad works, like,
three months a year.
209
00:09:25,065 --> 00:09:28,818
Never.
I show up to work, no matter what.
210
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,779
And I'm getting
my first deal tombstone.
211
00:09:30,862 --> 00:09:32,322
Deal tombstone?
212
00:09:32,405 --> 00:09:35,116
They're trophies we give each other
for making rich people even richer.
213
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,243
[sighs] This world.
214
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:39,621
Well, I hope you at least have
fun New Year's plans tonight.
215
00:09:39,704 --> 00:09:41,873
No! No, I hate New Year's.
216
00:09:41,956 --> 00:09:44,459
-It's the worst holiday.
-I was just saying that!
217
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:45,835
[both] It's so overhyped!
218
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,463
Exactly.
So tonight, I'm just gonna stay in
219
00:09:48,546 --> 00:09:51,007
and murder a danish while watching
a Danish murder show.
220
00:09:51,091 --> 00:09:54,511
Yeah, I was gonna do Broadcast News
and Chinese food.
221
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,805
Though I do love
a Danish murder show.
222
00:09:56,888 --> 00:09:57,972
-Mm.
-If you like,
223
00:09:58,056 --> 00:10:00,391
I could bring my takeout over
and we could watch it together.
224
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,435
Maybe you can tell me why women
only like watching shows
225
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:03,686
where other women get murdered?
226
00:10:03,770 --> 00:10:06,231
Oh, no, no, no, we would prefer it
if men got murdered,
227
00:10:06,314 --> 00:10:08,399
-but that just so rarely happens.
-Mm.
228
00:10:09,484 --> 00:10:12,070
Alright, well, I'll see you tonight.
229
00:10:18,201 --> 00:10:20,203
You didn't start the machine!
230
00:10:21,621 --> 00:10:25,333
[Naya] So, Mr. Johansson, it looks like
you're interested in a facelift.
231
00:10:25,416 --> 00:10:28,419
It says here you want to look
like Timothée Chalamet.
232
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:31,089
Exactly. I want to look
like a sexy 26-year-old.
233
00:10:31,172 --> 00:10:33,591
But I also want the results
to be extremely subtle.
234
00:10:33,675 --> 00:10:35,009
-[door opens]
-[Kel] Hi. I'm so sorry.
235
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:36,678
I know you're with a patient,
236
00:10:36,761 --> 00:10:38,847
but I have to go to rehearsal.
I can't wait anymore.
237
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:40,974
Kel, this is an active
medical consult.
238
00:10:41,057 --> 00:10:44,102
Yes, I know. I-- sir, I am so sorry.
You look great.
239
00:10:44,185 --> 00:10:45,770
I mean, not great.
I-It's good you're here.
240
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:47,397
She's the best.
You're gonna love your new face.
241
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,483
-What do you want?
-I'm in a new play on Broadway,
242
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:53,528
and I'm leaving two tickets
for Mom and Dad at will call for tonight.
243
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:54,946
I need you to tell them to come.
244
00:10:55,029 --> 00:10:56,406
Kel, I can't get involved.
245
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:59,033
Mom has barely forgiven me
for getting my ankle tattoo.
246
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:02,745
Look, they will go if it's from you.
Please.
247
00:11:02,829 --> 00:11:06,875
I just need them to see what I'm doing
and that I'm not some bum.
248
00:11:08,251 --> 00:11:11,004
Fine.
I'll tell them about the show.
249
00:11:11,087 --> 00:11:13,506
But if they yell at me,
I'm blocking your number.
250
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,885
-I love you, Dr. Washington.
-Ew!
251
00:11:16,968 --> 00:11:18,511
Just leave, Kel.
252
00:11:18,595 --> 00:11:21,806
-[door closes]
-Actually, could you give me his jawline?
253
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:22,974
[sighs]
254
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:24,517
[Abby] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Excuse me, excuse me.
255
00:11:24,601 --> 00:11:26,436
Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Wait, wait, wait, no!
256
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:29,397
[grunting] You need to work
on your functional strength, Abby.
257
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,150
Help! Help!
Oh, my God, thank you.
258
00:11:32,233 --> 00:11:35,195
No!
Those were my last nice thing.
259
00:11:35,278 --> 00:11:36,821
And these are my first.
260
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:47,916
This is all your fault, you asshole!
261
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:51,002
[♪ rhythmic jazz music playing]
262
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:54,088
Dickhead!
263
00:11:54,172 --> 00:11:57,717
Hey!
Graffiti is a fineable offense.
264
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:01,804
Yes, you, the woman making eye contact
with me and holding a Sharpie.
265
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:04,265
We got a runner.
266
00:12:08,436 --> 00:12:11,439
[♪ rhythmic music playing]
267
00:12:15,693 --> 00:12:17,528
Alright, fuckers.
Vacation's over.
268
00:12:17,612 --> 00:12:19,030
In my office.
269
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:27,372
[Davis] Bill sucks! Can't believe I ever
wanted him to be best man at my wedding.
270
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:28,623
[text whooshing]
271
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:32,001
[Josh]
He's the worst. Did AJ tell you?
272
00:12:32,085 --> 00:12:34,921
He dumped her,
and took his ex on vacation.
273
00:12:40,218 --> 00:12:42,178
[Bill] Hey.
Stop looking at the tombstones.
274
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:45,265
We have work.
Alright, so, on my trip,
275
00:12:45,348 --> 00:12:48,393
I spent the day skiing
with my friend, Jimmy-- sorry, Mr. Beast.
276
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:51,646
And he offered me $20,000
277
00:12:51,729 --> 00:12:53,731
to go down a double black blindfolded.
278
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:56,526
I did it, and now he's willing
to hear my pitch
279
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:59,153
on Mr. Beast Feastables
buying Hershey.
280
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:01,990
So, do not plan on leaving
the office for the next week.
281
00:13:02,073 --> 00:13:03,950
-[Bill chuckles]
-[Dileep] Oh, uh...
282
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:06,160
[chuckles] It-- it's New Year's Eve,
283
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:07,912
and we worked
through Christmas Eve.
284
00:13:07,996 --> 00:13:09,330
You know what the job is.
285
00:13:09,414 --> 00:13:12,583
Okay, well, if none of us get a vacation,
can we hear about yours?
286
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:16,754
I follow Catherine on Instagram,
and Aspen looked insane.
287
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:19,507
-Yeah, it was-- it was fine, whatever.
-[Jocelyn] I would kill for a guy
288
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:21,175
to take me on a snowy sleigh ride.
289
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:23,761
That was the most romantic thing
I've ever seen.
290
00:13:23,845 --> 00:13:25,680
I was like, "Is Bill gonna propose?"
291
00:13:25,763 --> 00:13:26,889
Yeah, fuck this.
292
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,392
I've worked eight days straight
through the holidays.
293
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:32,979
Dileep and I spent Christmas Eve
eating his wife's leftovers.
294
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:34,188
It was bleak as hell.
295
00:13:35,023 --> 00:13:36,691
It's 11 am on New Year's Eve.
296
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:38,359
I will see you all on the 2nd.
297
00:13:38,443 --> 00:13:42,613
But the rest of this year is for me.
I am taking some fucking PTO.
298
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:44,532
[exhales sharply]
299
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:48,661
[chuckles]
300
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:50,747
Someone's a little unhinged
this morning, huh?
301
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:54,459
[chuckles] Alright, uh, let's move on.
Update me on Nabisco.
302
00:13:56,294 --> 00:13:58,588
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I've been asked
303
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,423
-to be on a New Year's Eve show?
-Yep.
304
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:02,050
Hannah and Paige Drop the Ball.
305
00:14:02,133 --> 00:14:04,010
-And that's good?
-[Josh] Oh, my God, it's the best one.
306
00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:07,221
Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo
are so funny, so current.
307
00:14:07,305 --> 00:14:09,974
You wanna be relevant,
this is the show to be on.
308
00:14:10,058 --> 00:14:12,977
Yeah, and apparently,
they asked for you, specifically.
309
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:15,354
No one's ever asked
for me specifically.
310
00:14:15,438 --> 00:14:16,481
Incredible.
311
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:19,650
I knew you would figure
this out for me, Paula.
312
00:14:20,651 --> 00:14:22,361
-Oh, um...
-[sighs]
313
00:14:22,445 --> 00:14:24,947
-[clicking tongue] It was--
-It was all Paula, Wes.
314
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:28,076
Thank you.
315
00:14:29,327 --> 00:14:31,579
Now, excuse me.
Someone needs to get their hair system
316
00:14:31,662 --> 00:14:33,539
adjusted for their big night.
317
00:14:34,248 --> 00:14:35,249
[Wes chuckles]
318
00:14:36,417 --> 00:14:40,505
I don't think I've ever seen him
this happy, so...
319
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:43,299
Thank you, Josh.
320
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:46,344
No, Paula. Thank you.
321
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:48,304
I mean... [chuckles]
I don't know where to--
322
00:14:48,387 --> 00:14:51,349
I sense you winding up to something,
so shut up,
323
00:14:51,432 --> 00:14:55,228
and get your puffer out of storage,
we're going to Times Square tonight.
324
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:58,064
Alright, this deal
is extremely competitive.
325
00:14:58,147 --> 00:14:59,440
So, let's knock it out the park.
326
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:02,110
And I need everyone to step it up
and get on my level,
327
00:15:02,193 --> 00:15:04,153
so we can get all of you
one of these.
328
00:15:05,863 --> 00:15:07,949
[Jocelyn] Thank you.
329
00:15:08,032 --> 00:15:10,368
Hey, meeting's over.
Get out.
330
00:15:11,452 --> 00:15:12,954
[sniffling]
331
00:15:13,037 --> 00:15:14,747
[sighs]
It wasn't unhinged.
332
00:15:14,831 --> 00:15:18,417
-What?
-When you said AJ was acting unhinged,
333
00:15:18,501 --> 00:15:20,211
I don't think she was being unhinged.
334
00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:23,214
Actually, I think she was reacting
pretty normal
335
00:15:23,297 --> 00:15:26,425
for someone whose boss
dated them and then dumped them.
336
00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:28,553
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.
337
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:29,971
Keep your voice down.
Are you crazy?
338
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:32,515
Yeah, she thought
she was dating you, man.
339
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:35,726
Meanwhile, your beautiful ass is bringing
your model girlfriend on vacation.
340
00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:38,146
-I'm not talking about this here.
-Yeah, you are.
341
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,314
Because what you did
was unhinged.
342
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:42,567
AJ is amazing, and you're just--
343
00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,861
you are just a huge jerk.
344
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:46,863
Enough!
This isn't about AJ.
345
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:49,949
You're just mad because she picked me
over you, you cuck!
346
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:54,453
Hey! Davis! Get off! Get...
347
00:15:54,537 --> 00:15:56,789
-[Davis grunting]
-Ah! Hey, what are you doing?
348
00:15:56,873 --> 00:15:58,541
[Davis] I'm fighting you!
349
00:15:58,624 --> 00:15:59,709
-Stop it!
-I can't!
350
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,711
Ah! [groaning]
351
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:03,212
That fucking hurt!
352
00:16:03,296 --> 00:16:05,089
-Well, stop fighting me, you idiot!
-Never!
353
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:07,466
-Eat candy canes, asshole!
-Hey, hey!
354
00:16:07,550 --> 00:16:09,302
-Hey!
-[glass shattering]
355
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,179
Hey, now, you're pissing me off!
No!
356
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:13,347
-[Davis grunting]
-[Jocelyn] Bill!
357
00:16:13,431 --> 00:16:14,724
-Stop it!
-No! I'm winning!
358
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,686
-Hey, I told you to stop!
-Bill, Bill! Enough! Enough!
359
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:20,479
Up, up.
On your feet.
360
00:16:20,563 --> 00:16:22,440
-Come on.
-[Davis grunting]
361
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:23,983
-You okay?
-[Davis] Yeah.
362
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:27,570
Okay.
Well, now's a good time to tell you
363
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,906
that I've requested a transfer
to a different department.
364
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:32,366
You're not transferring anywhere.
You're fired.
365
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:34,577
Even better.
366
00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:38,623
Get out.
367
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:44,879
Thanks for bailing me
out of subway jail.
368
00:16:44,962 --> 00:16:48,257
Thank you for buying me hot chocolate,
and thank you for my cheesy potatoes.
369
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,051
What the hell is going on with you?
370
00:16:50,134 --> 00:16:52,345
I mean, you're cool,
but even you're not cool enough
371
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:54,680
to get away with graffiti in New York.
372
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,891
Nothing's wrong with me.
I'm perfect.
373
00:16:56,974 --> 00:16:58,809
Stupid fucking men are ruining my life.
374
00:16:58,893 --> 00:17:00,561
-Mm.
-Austin screwed me over,
375
00:17:00,645 --> 00:17:02,438
and then Kel put me
in the poorhouse.
376
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:04,607
Abby, I love you.
377
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:07,526
But this isn't Kel's fault.
Like, at all.
378
00:17:07,610 --> 00:17:10,238
-[scoffs]
-I'm sorry, but you put your career
379
00:17:10,321 --> 00:17:14,742
in the hands of a man
who plays the didgeridoo unironically.
380
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,287
So, what I'm hearing
is it's all Austin's fault.
381
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:22,833
I know. I know.
382
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:24,752
-Mm-hmm.
-It is my fault.
383
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:27,588
All of it.
And I made you leave work.
384
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:29,799
Fuck! Your one true love.
385
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,676
It's fine. I took PTO.
386
00:17:31,759 --> 00:17:34,262
Nice, meanwhile,
I'm taking the last shift at work,
387
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:38,849
and I have to apologize
to someone I successfully gaslit.
388
00:17:38,933 --> 00:17:40,434
So, this is Happy New Year.
389
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:42,103
I guess so!
390
00:17:42,186 --> 00:17:44,689
But I will be thinking of you at midnight
when I put fleece socks
391
00:17:44,772 --> 00:17:46,190
-on a mannequin.
-Okay, next year...
392
00:17:46,274 --> 00:17:48,192
-Mm?
-...let's promise to be happier,
393
00:17:48,276 --> 00:17:51,362
hotter, and vacationing in Miami.
394
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:54,574
Don't talk dirty to me, AJ Pascarelli.
You know how I feel about Miami.
395
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:57,076
-Mm.
-Happy New Year.
396
00:17:57,159 --> 00:17:59,829
-I love you.
-[both laughing]
397
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:02,707
[knocking]
398
00:18:04,709 --> 00:18:08,087
Oh, looking for someone else
to yell at, Abby?
399
00:18:08,170 --> 00:18:10,131
Hey. Is Kel here?
400
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:12,675
No, you don't get
to talk to Kel, okay?
401
00:18:12,758 --> 00:18:14,302
You're rude to Kel,
you're rude to me.
402
00:18:15,094 --> 00:18:18,681
-Hey, Abby, what's up?
-Yes, Abby. What is up?
403
00:18:18,764 --> 00:18:21,183
Thanks, Josh. You can go.
404
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:23,227
Okay, but if you need me,
I'll be right here,
405
00:18:23,311 --> 00:18:25,104
activating my hand warmers for tonight.
406
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:27,148
Hey, I don't have much time.
407
00:18:27,231 --> 00:18:29,233
-Uh, call for my play is soon.
-Oh.
408
00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:33,738
I just wanted to apologize
for the other night.
409
00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:35,114
I had no right to yell at you--
410
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:36,699
-[Josh] Oh, shit!
-What?
411
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:38,784
The packet broke
when I threw it at the wall,
412
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:40,786
and there's, like,
hand warmer stuff everywhere.
413
00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:43,039
Oh, God, I hope
this stuff isn't toxic.
414
00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:46,083
-Anyway--
-We're good.
415
00:18:47,001 --> 00:18:48,002
But thank you.
416
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:51,547
Okay. Uh, well...
417
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:54,175
uh, break a leg tonight.
418
00:18:54,258 --> 00:18:56,636
-That's so exciting.
-Yeah, yeah.
419
00:18:56,719 --> 00:19:00,056
Uh, there's actually a cast party after,
if you're free.
420
00:19:01,015 --> 00:19:02,892
Wait, wait, wait.
You said we couldn't go to that.
421
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:05,269
I said you couldn't go to that.
422
00:19:05,353 --> 00:19:08,064
It's New York, you know lists don't apply
to people who look like Abby.
423
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:09,940
Hm?
People that look like me?
424
00:19:10,024 --> 00:19:12,151
N... [chuckles]
No, no, you know what I mean.
425
00:19:12,234 --> 00:19:14,195
Damn, Kel.
I was just out here
426
00:19:14,278 --> 00:19:16,197
trying to apologize, not get hit on.
427
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,490
[laughing]
428
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:21,202
-Bye.
-Bye, Kel.
429
00:19:22,578 --> 00:19:25,790
I hate how I'm dressed.
I should have worn some sparkles.
430
00:19:25,873 --> 00:19:27,458
I think you look handsome, sir.
431
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:30,211
Very distinguished,
like a thin Santa Claus.
432
00:19:30,294 --> 00:19:33,381
Oh, my God, sir,
it is such an honor to meet you.
433
00:19:33,464 --> 00:19:35,549
Truly.
Thank you for being here.
434
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:37,426
God damn it.
They think I'm Steve Martin.
435
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,762
-Let's go.
-No, Wes, we know it's you.
436
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:43,099
We're so excited to have you on our show.
We're just huge fans.
437
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:44,600
Oh, my God.
438
00:19:44,684 --> 00:19:46,352
I'm Josh, by the way.
439
00:19:46,435 --> 00:19:48,854
Big fan of your podcast.
I'm a giggler.
440
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:51,190
They don't have time
to shake your mittens, Josh.
441
00:19:51,273 --> 00:19:52,858
Oh, I don't mind.
Give me that mitten. [giggles]
442
00:19:52,942 --> 00:19:55,528
Anyways, we can't wait
to see you out there, Wes.
443
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:58,072
You're actually doing our favorite bit,
Hot Take Yearbook.
444
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:01,450
Oh, wow.
We just thought you'd want Wes on
445
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:03,536
to, you know,
talk about current events,
446
00:20:03,619 --> 00:20:06,163
or maybe ring a big decorative bell.
447
00:20:06,247 --> 00:20:07,623
You know, shit like that.
448
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:10,376
No, that would be
really boring television.
449
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:12,753
But don't worry,
it's totally effortless.
450
00:20:12,837 --> 00:20:16,590
Just give your honest opinions
on all the pop culture trends of the year.
451
00:20:16,674 --> 00:20:18,467
[Hannah] Yeah, we'll cover Traitors,
Addison Rae,
452
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:21,262
housewives, Cole Escola,
things like that.
453
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:22,471
See you out there.
454
00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,891
W-What is a Cole Escola?
455
00:20:25,975 --> 00:20:28,644
[♪ big band music playing]
456
00:20:28,728 --> 00:20:30,563
[phone dings]
457
00:20:32,273 --> 00:20:35,985
[Jocelyn] Oh, my God! You missed some
crazy shit at work after you left!
458
00:20:36,986 --> 00:20:38,529
[overlapping shouting on video]
459
00:20:38,612 --> 00:20:41,365
[AJ] Holy shit. Oh!
460
00:20:41,449 --> 00:20:42,825
[Jocelyn] It's crazy!
461
00:20:42,908 --> 00:20:45,411
But I've always suspected that Bill
and Davis were hooking up!
462
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,832
[overlapping shouting on video]
463
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:52,918
[Wes] Every time I scroll,
there's another video!
464
00:20:53,002 --> 00:20:54,503
Please! Stop the flood!
465
00:20:54,587 --> 00:20:56,797
Wes, it will be fine.
You're a news anchor.
466
00:20:56,881 --> 00:20:59,133
I'm sure you know pop culture
better than you think.
467
00:20:59,216 --> 00:21:00,634
I'll start with a softball.
468
00:21:00,718 --> 00:21:02,720
-What's your opinion on Labubus?
-Oh, fuck.
469
00:21:02,803 --> 00:21:04,764
No, Paula, call the car.
We're leaving.
470
00:21:04,847 --> 00:21:05,973
[phone dings]
471
00:21:06,557 --> 00:21:08,392
[AJ] Hey! What do you want for dinner?
I'm ordering now.
472
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:11,270
The dumpling place is
a 3-hour delivery time.
473
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:13,147
[Josh] Get me whatever!
Running late!
474
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:14,607
[text whooshing]
475
00:21:14,690 --> 00:21:17,485
You're leaving?
Wes has wanted this forever.
476
00:21:17,568 --> 00:21:20,112
And I humiliated myself
to make this happen.
477
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:21,739
Please, don't let it be for nothing.
478
00:21:21,822 --> 00:21:25,993
[Paula] Okay, this isn't about you.
It's about that man's reputation.
479
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:28,120
-We're going.
-No, wait.
480
00:21:29,330 --> 00:21:32,792
Wes, I know people think
I'm sanctimonious and annoying.
481
00:21:32,875 --> 00:21:34,293
And guess what, I am.
482
00:21:34,376 --> 00:21:38,088
I believe in right and wrong
because I'm a journalist.
483
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:39,632
You taught me that.
484
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:40,966
You go out there...
485
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,969
and you give 'em Wes Dryden.
486
00:21:44,053 --> 00:21:47,097
And I promise that will be enough.
487
00:21:48,265 --> 00:21:49,725
I appreciate that, Josh.
488
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:51,894
But from the bottom of my heart...
489
00:21:52,978 --> 00:21:54,647
you're wrong and sound stupid.
490
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:57,525
I get that you think that.
491
00:21:58,275 --> 00:21:59,485
But do you trust me?
492
00:22:02,530 --> 00:22:04,365
Wait. Do you?
493
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:08,494
-I'm thinking.
-[whispering] Oh, my God.
494
00:22:13,624 --> 00:22:15,167
[Davis]
Kel! Hey, over here!
495
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:18,796
-Dude! [laughing]
-That was insane!
496
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:21,006
I loved it so much,
I bought all the merch!
497
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:26,345
Thank you so much for coming, Davey.
And I-I'm sorry I can't go out later.
498
00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:28,931
Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.
I'm not even in the mood for that anymore.
499
00:22:29,014 --> 00:22:30,432
What-- Oh, my God,

why it needs to be replaced.

shouldn't be cast aside so soon.

during World War One.

associated with remembrance.

And each year we sing it...

it connects us to our past.
