That was one heck of a lightning round, oh lordy hahaha Amazing work there, John H. it was a blast guessing along with the panel and learning the answers. I'm looking forward to seeing that photo of Frank and Eugene Levy hanging out that will inevitably surface on the internet.

He was discussing an experience from his 20s and shared the anecdote to express how shocking and powerful racist, vengeful feelings can be and how he learned to change and correct those feelings. Terrible he ever felt that way, but was encouraging to hear his ability to change
