The first person, whose hand landed on the trunk, said, "This being is like a thick snake". For another one whose hand reached its ear, it seemed like a kind of fan.

41: Your Friends and Neighbors (AppleTV) Stars John Hamm Playing... Coop
One Episode Stand
Jobina and Luther are VERY proud of themselves for referring to John Hamm's character as "Coop" instead of "John Hamm's character." Enjoy the Episode!
info_outlineThis limited series is tense enough to cut with a knife, but Jobina and Luther still manage to crack a few smiles while breaking it down. From awkward teen years to real-life drama, this one hits close to home. First lesson? Be very careful who you ask how they're doing. Second? Maybe stop with the no-knock warrants. Third? Yeah… adolescence was a rollercoaster for both of your cohosts.
Along the way, they veer into conversations about the surveillance state, how (and if) you talk to your parents about your teen years, and whether British accents or a uniform can still get it in 2025.
It’s deep, it’s messy, and it’s fun — just like being a teenager.
