      🥰gives me the warm and fuzzies! I love Mulaney and think he had to go through a bit of hell to be redirected onto a life track where he’s genuinely happy and fulfilled. He seems like he’s the happiest he’s ever been in his life/career-he seems head over frickin heels in love with Olivia Munn and his two kids. After seeing how sweet/obsessed a dad he is, I can’t imagine him NOT having children.
      Just…very happy for him in this era. It doesn’t feel like too long ago when he came on Seth with the trench coat and the glasses🫣😂 Ahhh, twas so confusing, and then made so much sense. Why am I randomly gushing in detail right now lolol I don’t know I’m ADHD AF and his lil red face “hey that’s nice” is just ESSENCE❤️
