Chapter 2: How does Bradley Cooper reframe his story?
Most of it, and then he dumped me. I passed up so much comedy dong for this guy.
Comedy dong.
I feel like between Groundlings and Saturday Night Live, having a boyfriend, I missed out on so much comedy dong.
Yeah. Which isn't legendarily great dong. No, it's not. It's actually kind of known to be pretty bad dong. It's like dark.
Dark, twisted, twisted, twisted dong.
And we're not talking about aesthetics. No. Emotionally twisted dongs.
Heavy use of substances, sloppy.
I dodged so many bullets in that respect. But the other thing is comedians and most thespians have such a fun flirtation. Right. So you get to have that, especially with these dudes that feel like your brother is But yeah, I wish I'd gotten a lot more pussy.
That mediocre. Yeah.

Chapter 3: What does Goldie Hawn say about the freedom to choose?
Yeah, that's really lucky. from 786 with Vince Vaughn. You guys did couples retreat and I was there just hanging for like the whole six weeks. We were friendly to each other, but in my mind, we took a flight during the press tour and you and I were the only people that didn't fall asleep. We were flying to like Australia. I remember it. And we're chatting, chatting, chatting, and it's fine.
We're both awake. And then at some point I talk about being in the learning disabled room. And I feel like I saw a whole new version of you come online, and you and I just really got into what it was like to get called out of the classroom and go down to that room.
My favorite movie, as I saw as a kid, because I thought that was me, was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Oh, sure, sure, sure. Did you love that movie?
Yeah, loved. I was funny. I got along with people. Kids really followed me. I wasn't going in the most popular crowd, although I got along really well with them too, but I'm going to play Dungeons and Dragons. I'm going to wrestle. And I got along with people. But when I went to that class, I had a... Well, they label this stuff. It's a longer conversation.
I'm not in agreeance with the journey that the government and everyone's taken with how we handle it because I think everyone just learns differently and no one's going to line up right next to each other. You could probably label and distinct how we learn so differently. I had an interesting journey later in life with that.
But as it pertained to my childhood experience, when you're younger, they want to have you tested. So you go to a psychiatrist when you're five. And I remember thinking they're going to take me from my family. That's what I think is at stake. I'm like, oh, I get it. If I get these questions wrong. You're going to juvie. I don't know where I'm going, but maybe I was in first grade.
So I was six at the oldest. But I remember thinking like, this is really some high stakes because if I don't know the answers or I mess this up, I'm going away. Like I'm leaving my parents behind. And my parents never explained. They said, everything's fine. The school wants to run some tests for how you act in class. I'm like, all right.
So I remember, maybe this pertains to what we're talking about. So I'm a fucking six-year-old answering questions as if it was the law, as if I wrote the book on it. Where does paper come from? And my point of view would be, well, we all know trees. The trees is where paper comes from, and that's what they do with that. So I wasn't just answering it.
