Hi Liz and Sarah–
Hearing the story of the cat allergy and the executive made me think of my favorite Armus & Foster meeting where Adam came in with dog shit on his shoe!! (He’d walked his dog earlier in the day.) We were meeting with R J Stewart the Xena show runner, and he glanced down at Adam’s shoes and saw something tangled in his laces. He pointed at it. What’s that? Adam looked down and was mortified to see that he had a turd entwined in the laces. There was a long pause where he considered what the hell to do and then he said “Just to be clear, this is not the last time I am going to bring shit into your office!” With that, he left the room to clean off the dirt while R J Steward laughed and maybe even fell a little bit in love with us. 😉
Oh I just loved hearing my friend Laurie on your podcast! We were pages at NBC together!! I was going around with her looking for talent for SNL all those years ago! Just as a friend!! What fun we had together in New York!! I always knew she would “go places”. So proud of her.
