Everyone goes through a period in their life during which they're really desperate for a win. It can come after a hard breakup, during a particularly long dry spell, or after you think you've met your soul mate in a university bookstore because she gave you a full refund for those books you never used but you didn't ask for her number despite the pleas of your best friend. Whatever the case, even the most famous among us will sometimes go to great lengths for the elusive win.
Enter: Bill Hader, the former Saturday Night Live star turned actor, who was once single and desperate just like the rest of us jamokes. Hader told James Corden a fairly ridiculous story about one of his nights as a single man, which included moving furniture just to get laid.
"My friend had a spare bedroom, so I moved into his spare bedroom," Hader explains. "And I went out and I met a girl, and she said, 'Want to go back to your place?'... I called my friend and I go, 'Hey, I'm bringing a girl home,' and he says, 'You have no bed.'"
Hader said he told the woman he didn't have a bed, but because she was moving the next day, she suggested grabbing the mattress from her old apartment. It's usually at this point in the story where a non-desperate person may try to back out of this whole situation altogether. Instead, Hader and the girl went to her old apartment, grabbed her dirty mattress that was out in front of her building, and drove it back to Hader's place by holding it against the top of his car.
"My roommate opened the door, and I came in with a girl and a bed," Hader said.
You know what? It sounds like they both really needed a win.
