Sarah Sherman knows that you can't show your feet for free. Amy hangs with the 'Saturday Night Live' star and talks about why we need a fourth 'Human Centipede' movie, playing a Russian tsarina in her school's production of 'Into the Woods,' and what her Jungian dream analyst told her about pooping in a dream.

Things People Love. Hello, everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. We are very excited about our guest today. It is Sarah Sherman. Sarah is a current cast member on Saturday Night Live, and we could consider her a vet. She has just finished her fifth season. And I just want to file this one under not safe for work or for kids, because we do get into some fun and down-and-dirty topics, like, well, SNLDA, and psychoanalysis, and Long Island, and her insane, wildly original, new, special Sarah squirm live and in the flesh on HBO. So, listen for Sarah, but before we start, right? We always like to talk to somebody who knows our guest, who has spent time with them, and who can speak well, and give us a question. And we're going to talk today to Mitra Juhari. Mitra is an amazing actress, writer, producer. You may know her from episodes of The Bear, from the show she created Three Busy Debros. She's a writer on Big Mouth, and she's just incredible talent. Came up with Sarah, her good friend. We're going to check in with Mitra, who is on her lunch break, and get a question from her. So, hi Mitra, it's good to see you. This episode is brought to you by Zoom. Many of us have been there. The calls where you zone out for one second and miss six key points. The quick check-ins that are anything but quick, because here's the thing. Every conversation creates work. With Zoom, though, the conversation itself can actually move work forward. Zoom is now a full system of action that can actually complete work from the context of your existing meetings, calls, and chats. No more post-call panic, no more inbox avalanche. You talked about it, Zoom got it done. Visit zoomahead.com to learn more. ♪ Get up, buddy, say ♪ ♪ And I know the money wasn't really good, hey ♪ Mitra! She's on the set. Mitra is on the set. Mitra, where are we talking to you from? Netflix. A lot of people don't know Netflix has beautiful offices, really, really. They give you a free hanger, so you can write a point and anything on that. You can hang anything on that as long as it's not pants, because a hanger is broken. I hear giggles in the back. I wish I was in there. On top of Mitra being incredibly talented, she's also like a real deal activist, boots on the ground person. And I was thinking about during COVID when you zoomed with my sons to talk to them about the LA Unhoused situation and what they could do about it. It was me. They were so cute and sweet. I love talking to them. They were so thoughtful and had such good questions and were really making me laugh. Remember that when we were all just like in that COVID bubble of just like, I guess this is how we'll learn now. I was living with Patty and we were making some of the most fucked up cocktails imaginable, actively drinking and being like, this is disgusting and finishing them. Patty Harrison, another hilarious comedian and actor. Okay, we've got Sarah coming in today. That's why I'm sad. Another reason why I'm sad, I'm not there. I want to be seeing her. I have so many questions for Sarah. Did you watch her special? Yes. I have questions for her too. Her nasty ass. Her nasty ass special. You have known Sarah for a very long time. When did you two first meet? 2015 and our mutual friend, Drennan, who knew her from Chicago, she was coming out to New York to do shows and she guessed it on this show called Holy Fuck that I was a part of. There's this freak coming named Sarah Sherman. I think you guys would really like each other. Then we hit it off immediately and we went on a tour with this great comedian and writer named Jamie Loftus called the Sarah, me and Jamie our ugly tour. She eventually wrote and appeared butt naked on Deborah. Yes. We worked on a show together, Three Busy Debras on Adult Swim that you wrote and produced and you were the star of along with other Debras.
