SPEAKER_1 (0:02)

This is a Headgum Podcast.

Hannah Simone (0:23)

Lamorne, you just chewing on those buns?

Lamorne Morris (0:26)

I had to get a bagel. Hey, I'm gonna put it out there, folks. I'm not doing too well right now.

SPEAKER_1 (0:31)

Why?

SPEAKER_4 (0:33)

Oh, Hannah, oh Hannah.

SPEAKER_1 (0:35)

Oh?

SPEAKER_4 (0:36)

I'll give you the details off camera.

Hannah Simone (0:37)

Can I just tell you something? Today is the first day that I have been able to get out of bed. I have had two weeks of the flu.

Is that what happened to you?

SPEAKER_4 (0:49)

No, something else.

Hannah Simone (0:52)

You've been literally coast to coast to coast to coast doing the most, the most, the most.

SPEAKER_4 (0:58)

Yeah, I've kind of been all over the place.

Lamorne Morris (0:59)

Forgive me, you asked for chewing.

SPEAKER_4 (1:00)

I'm hungry.

Lamorne Morris (1:01)

Ooh.

Hannah Simone (1:02)

You know, people pay big money for this. Wet mouth, wet bagel mouth.

Lamorne Morris (1:09)

The wet bagel mouth?

Hannah Simone (1:10)

Yeah, it catches on the Patreon, you guys. You can pay for it to here Lamorne's wet bagel mouth.

Lamorne Morris (1:19)

Okay, yeah.

Hannah Simone (1:20)

Well, how did University of Maryland go?

Lamorne Morris (1:23)

It went really well.

Hannah Simone (1:25)

It went really well.

Lamorne Morris (1:26)

Those kids are amazing.

Hannah Simone (1:28)

Can I tell you that Zoe, who I think was your moderator?

Lamorne Morris (1:31)

Yeah, she told me.

Hannah Simone (1:33)

She DM'd me. Well, I guess my big question was.

Lamorne Morris (1:38)

Yes, she told me my watch looks expensive.

Hannah, I don't care about material things, okay? So I need you to not put that into these young minds.

Hannah Simone (1:50)

I said all sorts of big life lessons to her about what you care about. And then I said, if you need to say something nice, just tell them this watch looks expensive.

Lamorne Morris (2:00)

I was dying. I was like, oh, and I happened to be wearing at the time a very nice watch.

Hannah Simone (2:05)

Of course you were. I knew you were.

Lamorne Morris (2:07)

At first I was like, that's nice of her to say that. But then she told me that you told her to say it.

Hannah Simone (2:14)

So the girl that was moderating or the woman that was moderating Lamorne's University of Maryland talk, DMed me and said, hey, you guys have such a great podcast and you guys talk and keep it so natural and bubbly and fun. She's like, tell me what I should talk to Lamorne about because I want to capture that energy. So I gave her two things. The first was how what we learned, I feel like together, as Cece as Winnie, did she talk to you about this, on our show, on New Girl was how to make the most of every moment. Because often we could be background or often we could be just sitting at the bar. So we would improv little bits or we would make up our own moments. I felt like that's also a big life lesson.

If you're not given that main character moment, have some main character energy. Figure out a way to contribute.

So that's what I said. Then I said, and just tell Lamorne his watch looks expensive.

SPEAKER_4 (3:10)

He'll like that.

Lamorne Morris (3:11)

That's the only thing that stuck with me. I was like, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.

SPEAKER_4 (3:16)

Yeah, it does.

Hannah Simone (3:20)

That's so funny. How did Comic Con go?

Lamorne Morris (3:23)

Oh, that's on Halloween.

Hannah Simone (3:25)

Oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_1 (3:27)

Halloween.

Hannah Simone (3:28)

I'm going to be in LA.

Lamorne Morris (3:30)

Really?

SPEAKER_1 (3:31)

Also, can I just say something?

Hannah Simone (3:32)

This is how I know you are tired and not feeling. You are not noticing where I'm sitting.

Lamorne Morris (3:37)

Oh, you changed studios.

Hannah Simone (3:38)

I grew up.

Lamorne Morris (3:41)

You put the New Girl poster in the back. Can I just tell you- You have a plant, you have an unused couch.

SPEAKER_4 (3:48)

You have a special guest there or something?

Hannah Simone (3:50)

No. Can I tell you something? This is for when I sleep.

SPEAKER_4 (3:53)

Here is-

Hannah Simone (3:53)

No, that's a lie. I thought you were going to pop onto the screen and then see this setup of this podcast-looking studio and be so mad. Because for how many years now? Five years, I've been in a closet, like in a white room, like I'm in Severance or something.

The truth is, this is the part don't get mad. The truth is, so Jesse, my husband, he built this for me. He built this podcast studio for me a year ago. Now, before you get mad, before you get mad, before you get mad or asking questions.
