  • Shall we do it? Okay.

  • Rob Delaney, welcome to Modern Love.

  • Thank you, thank you very much.

  • Rob I want to run something by you.

  • I feel like you've kind of built your career on playing these charmers, these charming people

  • who are also pretty messy,

  • and I'm talking emotionally messy, but I'm also talking sometimes physically messy.

  • Your character in Dying for Sex, we talk about, we meet him with burrito juice just dripping down his face.

  • Does this track for you?

  • Are you drawn to mess?

  • You know, it's got to be due to the fact that the first thing anyone ever saw me in was a show

  • that I co-wrote and produced myself called Catastrophe,

  • I think people saw that, and you know how people are in Hollywood.

  • They're like, that's what he does.

  • So they would put me in stuff I think that showed a vulnerability and a humanity, I hope, and often a sense of humor.

  • So I think I sort of I was going to say dug my own grave.

  • But let's say made my own bed.

  • Totally, totally.

  • Your messy bed, although maybe the unmade bed.
