I am so excited to talk to my TV husband, the father of my triplets, Adam Scott, aka Ben Wyatt, Leslie Knope's dream come true. Adam Scott, incredible actor, friend. He's just, I just loved talking to him today, and we really get into it. We talk about his love of you, too. We talk about how he weirdly likes to drive barefoot. We talk about Parks and Rec, of course, and we give you a lot of juicy stuff there, and I try to figure out the crazy ending of Severance. Honestly, I don't know what's going on, so I try to help him help me understand that incredible show. But before we start, we always like to talk to people who know our guests and who want to give us a question, and we're going to keep this Parks and Rec reunion going today by talking to the one, the only Nick Offerman. Nick, are you there? This episode of Good Hang is presented by Walmart. Now, everyone's talking about back-to-school outfits, and we all know how expensive that can be to get the shoes and the pants and the whole thing and the shirts and all the things that you need.

Hi, Nick! Hello. Nick, you know what I love? Every time I see you, I never know what kind of hair situation I'm going to get with you. And you and our guest today, Adam Scott, great heads of hair. That's the main thing we have in common. Super cute guy in one instance, and donkey with great heads of hair. Stop it. You're so handsome. I love to see you. Since I've seen you last in person, it's been a minute. And one of the best things about this podcast is getting to like talk to everybody again and spend time with everybody. And today I'm spending time with the great Adam Scott. The greatest. Well, you know, we're going to talk about this when we're in person someday together. But I think that, you know, I know that the character of Ron Swanson is iconic. And it is in no small part to the way that you transform yourself and the way you approach your work. Because I met you in Chicago back in the day and you were coming to this work in a much more, for lack of a better term, like more prepared, actor-y space. And you're such a fine actor. And I can't wait to talk to you about it. And Adam very similarly, like kind of came into the biz from that space too. He did. Thank you. By the way, I did not expect compliments today. Well, your people emailed me and said I needed to start with them. So I thank you and please thank them for me as well.

Yeah, I love that about Adam. I love his they hilariously asked me to write a little thing for Time Magazine for like the 100 cool people right now. And it was so funny because they asked me to like sum up his his thing. And they gave me like 650 words or something, something so brief that and then they even cut paragraphs where I was like, come on, you guys like this guy's career is hilariously varied and astonishing. And also, Rizible like he has literally done everything. I'm just going to look up Rizible real quick. You love Rizible, R-I-S-I-B-L-E. You love words. You have taught me a lot of words. Rizible, such as to provoke laughter. I should know that word. You know, I love about him that he has done like piranha 3D. It was wonderful like B-movie schlop kind of stuff. Also crazy. What was that HBO show where he had apparently it was in his contract. He had to show his balls every episode. Tell me you love me. He had a prosthetic penis. It was the first thing I saw of him. Oh my god. And he carried it off. He sure did. Literally carried it off. I guess you could have to say he pulled it off. He really pulled it off. I've known him for a long time. We did play workshops together like
