## Resource

DREAM GUEST ALERT. This week Becky is joined by her pal Sam Richardson (Veep, Ted Lasso)  — Emmy-winning actor, comedian, and one of Detroit's favorite sons — who also happens to be one of the stars of LET'S HAVE KIDS!, a film Becky may have mentioned once or a million times by now. Sam pulls back the curtain on his legendary creative partnership and best friendship with Tim Robinson: how their beloved show Detroiters came to be, Sam's iconic role on I Think You Should Leave, and the amazing experience of them each winning their first Emmys — for different shows — on the same night. Sam also shares how he burst onto the comedy scene with his unforgettable role on Veep, the new Netflix show he recently started shooting with Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas, and Vanessa Bayer (in Los Angeles — bring work back to LA!), why harnessing his many, many hobbies has become essential, and how hitting a baseball out of Comerica Park was easily one of the best days of his life.
