Present continuous

Past simple

Is it still called hbo or is it the Max now?

Do we have time to talk about this still?

It is a heartwarming show that's funny and feels like a big, warm hug, but it kind of.

The makers of the Ted Lasso and Bill Lawrence.

It was incredibly enjoyable to do, and I kind of love it.

You're a father who's worried about his daughter, right?

And they're navigating, like, what that means now.

And, you know, as fathers of adult daughters, you kind of have to ratchet it back and let them make their own mistakes, and

And here is you and Nancy with your adult daughter and your adult son.

How did things changed for me when I had our.

Well, I historically auditioned really badly for everything.

Like, I haven't paid it up nearly enough.

Knowing you, there is no doubt in my mind that you were the best son.

I got so many things we didn't talk about here.

Cause we only have, like, 30, 35 more shows or something like that.
