What? Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were in a movie together? I faint! I'm going to watch it, as well as those other two, thank you!

And lo! I found a clip of Nate's George Washington (he talked about measurements!) on tiktok JUST THIS MORNING. It was so funny I sent it to four people. If I'd known you liked Nate, I'd have sent it to YOU. =) Thanks for the SNL advice. I'm on it. I love how you connected Nate's Christian upbringing with all the stuff in your piece, especially your own upbringing, which made me hoot since it was my own children's upbringing, too. haha!

Taylor Swift, 2014, and the year you fell in love with Ben. Swoon.

Keep writing these! so glad I found it!

Yes, can you believe the two of them in a film together in their peak good hair years, too! It's a complete silly mess of a movie but I enjoyed so thoroughly. You really do have to make it through the first 45 minutes of being like "What is this film trying to be ABOUT" before it sort of settles into something. 😂

Ah!! You should check out Nate's standup!! I've watched it with Mom and Dad -- so good.

I see your Presbyterian Halloween and I raise you with a Southern Baptist 90s Halloween. Lights off, blinds closed, and prayers for people's souls. The Satanic panic was real. Now I dress as a witch for Halloween, and my dog is going as a little devil this year. Always deconstructing!!

haha! I was the mom closing the blinds! I remember being so glad we moved to the country so we wouldn't have to protect our children from trick-or-treaters. Hee. I've myself have deconstructed -- now I drink wine on Halloween and dress my bitmoji up like Cat Woman and lament that parents have sunk to trunk-or-treat!

😂 This is so wonderful! hahaha closing the blinds!

I had a sentence I cut in editing that was "I am proof that change is possible" and that's one of the best things about life!

Southern Baptist 90s Halloween! The pinnacle! I think it was mostly the Southern Baptists with the Judgment Houses 😅

You and me, witch sisters. I wish I had a little devil dog, too. Cheers to always deconstructing, relearning, growing!

The dry delivery and comic timing on the Washington's Dream sketch was perfect!

It fit his tone soooo well! I'm curious how much they collaborated on the topic, like if he came in with some sketch ideas or they just wrote really well for him or they met in the middle? I'm sure all of the above.
