You know, when I moved into the house that I live in now, I think I sold or got rid of or donated or something, probably 15 tuxedos. And I probably still have a double digit amount of tuxedos. None of them fit.

None of them fit. I was shocked that this one fit. This is one of mine. They said, do you have a tuxedo? The costume designer came over last night. I was like, yeah, I got it. Come on, just come over to the house and take a look and see whatever tuxedo you want to have.

I first met Paul in St. Louis, Missouri. Paul... was roommates and friends with my high school girlfriend's older brother. So this family was dear friends of mine, too, and still remain. They were all at my wedding. It's a whole thing, the Clark family. So Paul came back with Preston, the older brother, for Thanksgiving or something one weekend, and he looked like Michael Hutchence.

He had, like, long, curly hair. It was probably 1990-ish. 89 maybe. And he couldn't have looked any cooler. He had a denim jacket that he had painted or had had painted. Someone painted on the back of the cover of Duran Duran's Rio painting.

The Donald Nagel painting, that very 80s thing. So he was operating at a much higher level than anybody we had really ever run into at that point in our lives.

We definitely connected. I would say that, you know, Paul, that was when Paul and Preston were going to KU, Kansas University. And then when I ended up going to the University of Missouri... I went to visit Paul, who had by this point gone, transferred out of KU and moved to L.A. and was going to the Academy of Dramatic Arts. And he lived in North Hollywood with Preston and our friend Bo.

I was still in college. Paul had just booked a big Nintendo ad. So he was just riding high. And then by the next time I came out, when I came out, when I moved out here after college in 95, he had done Clueless and he was on the way to go do Romeo and Juliet. He was on the way. to the, to the stars. So it was crazy. That's, that's, uh, I watched it all happen.

And we... I loved you and Seth and Drachi and everybody coming at it. I think the question I think you should ask Paul is at what point... I was asking this to Billy Crudup on the set the other day. Is he... What point or has it happened yet in his career or in his life? Has he lost the freaking out about being good all the time from an active standpoint. You know what I mean? I don't have that.

Now, I know what you're thinking, that I'm only endorsing Jon Hamm because Jon Hamm is also my name. Well, you're wrong. You're dead wrong. First of all, my last name has two Ms, and second of all, my first name doesn't have an H. Feel like a dummy yet?

Hi, guys. Jon Hamm here. Long-time listener, first-time voice noter. Super fun reliving the first time I hosted all the insanity that happened. Amy having her baby. Special guests. Different things between dress and air. You guys were saying I was doing JFK at dress. I actually was doing Dean Martin at dress.

I fucked up, I'll own it. Which then turned into James Mason for the Vincent Price show. I'm reminded how much fun I had on that show. doing not only the Trick or Treat sketch with Forte, but Jon Hamm's Jon Hamm, and the Vincent Price show, and working with everybody in what is, in fact, I think we can all agree, an golden era.

So much fun. You guys, this whole thing, this whole journey with you has been incredibly fun, and I can't wait to continue the journey. I loved Ross Trent. And I was happy that I got to not be in that one so I could be in a little one, I believe, that was called The Curse, to be continued. I'd be very excited when that shows up.
