## Resource

Jason and Dee of the Surely You Can’t Be Serious podcast conclude their special two-part conversation with Robert Hays, the man who first uttered the immortal words: “Surely you can’t be serious.” In Episode 2, the surprises keep coming as the guys are joined by special guest Julie Hagerty, beloved for her unforgettable role in the Airplane! movies and later appearances in classics like What About Bob?. Julie shares stories from her incredible career, her memories from making Airplane!, and the chemistry that helped make those comedy legends. The conversation also takes a deep dive into Cat's Eye as Robert reflects on his experiences working on the Stephen King anthology film and the unique challenges of bringing those suspenseful stories to life on screen. The guys also uncover wild behind-the-scenes tales from the early HBO favorite Take This Job and Shove It, including some of the crazy moments and personalities Robert encountered during that production. Packed with laughs, Hollywood memories, and incredible behind-the-scenes stories, this episode is the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable interview with one of the most recognizable faces of 80s comedy. And don’t call them Shirley.
