Hes such a lovely guy.
I talked to him about what its like being somebody whos visibly famous.
He says, Oh, yeah, wherever you sell kettle corn, thats where Sugar Ray is playing.

Hes very humble and very sweet.
I got to shoot a gun!
Which… was interesting.
Netflix
And Istilldont think I should have access to a gun, she laughs.
I am still anti-gun.
And even (a fictional version of) Mark McGrath cant change that.
Netflix
I was really scared about that, Bamford says.
He had done tons of soap operas.
Turns out, its just kissing.
Netflix
It doesnt mean Ive left my husband or anything like that.
Its just a job.
Its a job that involves kissing.
Netflix
Im sure my body was doing weird things, because we are just little animals, she continues.
Im sure my brain was giving off weird pheromones and stuff.
But thats not my fault!
Netflix
But it doesnt mean hes the one I love.
Hear that, McConaughey?
And evidently, thats a real thing.
Netflix
Because its not for you.
We appreciate the support, but could you do your own thing?
up online, but opted not to go.
Netflix
Its such a funny idea, because its all white people.
Its all these well-meaning people, but its also… she pauses.
It feels sort of creepy.
Netflix
But you cant do it all the time.
I dont know who would want to, Bamford says.
I think everyone can relate, everyones felt like that in relationships.
Netflix
Like youre trying to be this other person more Australian, more of a drinker.
Whatever it is they think thats going to solidify the relationship.
The whole house storyline has some basis in reality, too.
Netflix
[My husband and I] have a house, but its pretty small.
Its around 900 square feet, she says.
My mom, she always says, Well, honey, why dont you get a bigger house?
Netflix
Im like, Why?!
The idea in our society is, if youcan,get a bigger one…
Were happy in our house and its definitely big enough for us.
Netflix
Art is helping me, she tells him after admitting she has clinical depression.
If you did more art, you could feel better about yourself, and about your life in general.
Then, we love Werner Herzog as a creative person and thought we should ask him or impersonate him.
I assume [Herzog] was very busy doing wonderful work, Bamford adds.
Her arteries thank her.
Bamford has less experience with the part of the episode where she steals another comedians jokes.
I think if it does happen, it isnt intentional…
I give people the benefit of the doubt, she says.
Nothing is really original.
Its all been said before in one way or another.
The reason to create things is because its a human need.
Thats because she has vaginismus, a condition where a womens vaginal muscles tense up whenever something enters.
Yay Internet, indeed.
In real life, Bamford says shes related with Jill at times.
The gravity of that scene is intense, but Bamford wasnt nervous about filming it.
So, I guess I wasnt nervous because Im happy now.
Its a scene that somewhat mirrors Bamfords actual romance with her husband.
With Google, everything is already out there if someone wanted to check up on anyone, Bamford says.
I love all words, Bamford says.
I am a real fan of every word!
Well, that decision turned out to be… not so great.
A band of child soldiers got hold of them and began claiming Maria as their inspiration.
It was colonialism disguised as good work.
I am a habitual break-upperer, Bamford says.
I have only been dumped once in life.
I love animals and I thought it was really fun and funny, Bamford says.
That doesnt work, and she ends up biking to Scotts house to win him back.
This happy ending was the clear choice for Bamford when creating the finale.
Thats how it ended in real life, and I like that one the best, Bamford says.
