Speaker 1 (00:00):
First of all, you don't know me. All about that
high school drama Girl Drama Girl, all about them high
school Queens, We'll take you for a ride, and our
comic girl sharing for the right teams.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Drama Queens, Jaylie Go Up Girl Fashion, which your tough girl?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You could sit with us, Girl Drama Queens, Drama, Quise Drama,
Queens Drama John MC Queens Drama Queens.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, friends and listeners, we are back with a Q
and a episode. Thank you all so much for the
questions that you send into all of our socials. They're
pretty excellent when you say.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Roberto, Yeah, except for the one listener who keeps writing
in asking for my social Security number.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's awkward. That needs to stop.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It needs to stop. You keep asking, and it's not
going to happen, So stop asking.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, no personal identifying details should be the rule, right, yes,
and no FEAT pictures either. Guys like enough of.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That, stop requesting them and stops sending them. Guys, just
be cool.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
All right, Bob, how's your day? I've been traveling. I
know Joy's on our book tour, so we don't have
her today, but we have me and you at the
very last minute.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, we scrambled to put this together.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Good for us, honestly, like you guys, for our friends
at home. You know, we have to work around so
many people's schedules. You've got three hosts, you've got a
whole team of producers, we've got a whole like you know,
audio visual team. And today there was a group chat
that went out about like, hey, we really need to
get another Q and A on the books And I
was like, I have a break on set. Is anyone
(01:37):
free now? And Rob was like I am, and here
we are.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We made it happen. We scrambled very well. I really
got to say, three is the magic number. Yeah, if
it was just two of us, it would be really hard.
But three is kind of perfect because it's that sweet
spot where sometimes we get all three and it's great,
but then we have to scramble. We can usually find
a time for at least two of us.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, because everybody he can cover for each other, and
because as you've said, we have such a deep bench
of great humans from our show, we can always call
a friend to like jump in and co host and whatever.
So it's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Did you get a chance to listen to Michael Grubbs episode.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, not yet, but I hear it's so good.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It was so much fun. And I'm saying this because
you're talking about our extremely deep bench. And I was
so pleased to see such a massive positive reaction to
his episode and just this outpouring of love, which is
appropriate and fitting. But I was I wasn't sure like
how Grubs rated on the meter, you know, because he's
only in something like six epis. It's something small, is
(02:42):
that true? I feel like when we were talking about it,
he kind of off the cuff made to Connor, He's like, oh, yeah,
I was only in such and such episodes. I'm looking
this up. Why we talk? But yeah, And so I
was like, you have you made such a big imprint
for me, Like to me, you were such a like
a fixture on the show, insane. Yeah. And then so
it was cool though, was all the fans like when
(03:02):
his episode dropped and like we started, like the socials
were posting about it, people like the comment section was
just head to tell was like, Grubs is the best.
I loved him so much.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Wait, I feel the same as you. He made such
an impact on me. In my mind. Grubs was with
us for years. Yeah, like years, multiple If he was
on the insex episodes, I'm actually going to feel like
a crazy person.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Ten he was in ten episodes her IMDb yop. Oh
my god, he was in as many episodes as Alexander
Coin And no disrespect to Mitch, but like, when I
think about it, to me, I'm like, oh, Grubs was
just around the whole time I was there. Maybe just
because when he popped in, he just brought it in
such a way, but crazy, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And I guess in regards to Mitch's story, like the
Alexander and where we go with what happens with him,
it had a book obviously, you know, there's the whole
thing within the company and Victoria and me and Julian
and I don't know why that tracks in linear time
(04:10):
for me, but Grubs feels so omnipresent in a way.
And maybe that's because we would also all go see
him on tour and we'd hang out in New York
all the time. Like I have such fond memories of
going to see theater with Grubs and then going to
like late night food in New York City. Like it's
so crazy to me to think that he he only
(04:31):
did ten episodes of our show How Far.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think also part of that is because Alexander Combing
was a device. He wasn't so much a character as
he was a device. He was there to sort of
stress test the Broullian relationship, right, you know, so there
really wasn't a whole lot of like character development or
building his world. Yeah, whereas Grubbs had no objective. He
(04:57):
was there to like get to be a character, slowly develop.
Also because he worked at Trick, I think there's a
lot of times where he may not have actually been
on screen, but when people are talking about Trick, you're like, oh, yeah,
Grubs and Chase, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, wow, that's so interesting. And that's a really good point,
you know, for for us but also for our listeners
that when a character comes in as a device, when
they have a particular role to play, a particular thing
to upset, sometimes it actually boxes in the actor from
being able to do more because when that character's job
(05:32):
is over, the writers don't really have anything else for
them to do. And so sometimes coming in in these
less defined even you know, quote unquote smaller roles like
a guest arc can turn into a regular character because
there winds up being such great stuff for this person
to do. And when your character has a really specific
(05:53):
homework assignment, sometimes it also means you don't get to
play for as long.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, I did say it's a great job. Rest in peace,
Alexander con you were a lovely device.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Lovely device. I just realized we've really gone on a
tangent shocker for us and we haven't actually read a
single question from a fan yet.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, you know what, in no time like the present,
let's jump in first one here, Kate Kate writes in
if you had to pick one character for these relationships
in your real life, who would you pick to be
your parent, spouse and best friend?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And why?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
WHOA yeah, this is actually this is a fantastic question.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Okay, So obviously immediately my brain was like, well, Hillary
is my best friend, and but then I got to say,
over the last fourteen years of watching her be a parent,
like she's hands down the coolest mom.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I oh yeah, any of us.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Like I want in my next life, I want Hillary
Burton to be my mom.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
True, but remember character Oh oh care, yeah, yeah, oh
I agree. Heill's a great layup. But no, we're talking.
It's got to be Peyton if that's the case.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh, she's just so cool man like everything she's doing
at the PTSL, I'm like, teach me your ways character.
I kind of think Karen Rowe is the best mom,
like Lucas's mom is the best mom. But also, shit,
Debb would be a fun mom. I know she's wild
and like being her child as a teenager, per Nathan
(07:29):
is very complicated, but I also sort of think that
in your adult life, deb Scott would be like a
pretty bomb mom.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, a bomb mom.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Nicemb mom. I can't wait to tell Barbara I said
that today.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
She who I. I've never spent quality time with her,
and then we did this convention together in Paris and
she is so wonderful, the best, so sweet, so much fun. Yeah,
she did not disappoint.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm so glad you got time with her.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Okay, how about spouse and best friend?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, who would your parent be?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know? My knee jerk actually was we'd have to
kind of shift the timelines here. But my first thought
was Nathan, Yes, like, if I had to, if I
had to pick like a father figure, obviously, I said
I'd have to be much younger. But I was like, man, Nathan,
Nathan feels good, but I'm completely with you when I
was thinking moms, because here's the deal. I don't know
Karen because unfortunately that predates me and my exposure to
(08:27):
the show. But my second thought was we start talking
about Barb was like, that's the right amount of like
fun and distinction. I yeah, I could get behind that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Deb feels like the person that when you are also
an adult, like we are with our parents now and
you're you know, obviously there's a generation between you, but
you're all living an adults life where you go, oh now,
my now, my parent is my friend? Like Deb gives
me that energy. But I will say, having to then
think about who I would want to be my dad
(08:57):
from the show, I'm like, well, obviously Nathan and Nathan
and Haley are the best parents, but like in my brain,
Haley's joy and Joy is my friend and peer, so like, yeah,
I have to scramble the timelines, but Neale would obviously
be the best parents. Also as a child, Okay, for
me as a kid, I want Nathan and Haley to
(09:18):
be my parents, and then in my adulthood, I want
dem to also be my.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Mom, So.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now she can't be my stepmom because her son is
my dad. Okay, this is actually getting super weird. I'm
going to stop myself, but you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I get it, I get it. How about spouse and
best friend? Or just pick one spouse or best friend? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I feel like we have to go category by category
otherwise it's too hard for me. Is that like an
ADHD thing?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I got to do one assignment.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I relate to. I'm just saying we don't need to
answer all three. Why don't we just pick whatever I want?
Jumps out to you more.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Ooh, I don't know. Who do you want your spouse
to be?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Man, I mean we'll listen. It worked out pretty well,
oh in my real life? Okay, in my real life. Wow,
that's a good question. I have to marinate on that. Uh,
do you have one like loaded and Ready?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I mean, am I stating the obvious here? If I say,
if I had to pick a one Treho character to
be my real life spouse, I would pick Peyton.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, du Yeah, I mean I'm probably gonna have to
go Alex just because I thrive on dysfunction. You know
as much as as much therapy as I do. I
love some drama, so just.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Give me that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I love that choice. Oh my god, how fun? Okay, Okay,
and then who who's your best friend?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
See, this is the easy one because there's there's a
this is a very deep bench. Uh you know skills Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, sign absolutely, but that's a perfect pick.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, he's he's so fun. He's a good guy. He
still has a lot of childlike wonder to him, like
he's he's the kind of guy you could be silly with.
But the and also like talk the language of the
heart with. Yeah, it's skills.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, and he always shows up. Yeah, skills is such
a good friend.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, I love that. Kate, what a question.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Way to go, Kate.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, I want to read this one because it starts
talking about you. Brittany says, I am a huge foodie
like Rob, I love to book almost as much as
I love to eat. If you could only eat one
thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
And why? Wow?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I struggle with questions that make me narrow something down
to one, Like when people go like, what's your favorite
this or favorite that I've found as an adult, I
just go today my favorite is or I'll go here
are my top three because for some reason, committing to one,
my brain's like, but what if we make the wrong choice?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, the favorite thing makes me panic? Yeah, I will
say how I can stay in this lane, or rather
maybe it's like I can stay on this highway, but
I got to change lanes. Is when I think about
if there's only one endless supply of food I could
have were I to be stranded on an island, what
(12:22):
I would pick would be rice because rice. If I
caught fish, great, I could season it with seaweed, I
could dry out salt from the ocean water. If I
caught a chicken on the island, found some veggies, I
could I could eventually figure out how to make fried rice,
sushi rice like. I actually think rice would be the
(12:45):
most versatile food that would pair with every other source
of protein and vegetable you might find on said desert island,
deserted island. And I think by the time I to
be rescued a lah Tom Hanks and castaway, I would
be like a bomb ass rice chef.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Listen, this right here was the perfect audition tape for
Survivor or Red or No Alone.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Alone, that's my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I can tell. I can tell by the way you
talk about this. I'm like, she has clearly watched this show.
So listen, someone out there, cut up the audio, send
it to the folks that alone because SO has a
lot of confidence.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I have a lot of thoughts about them.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Okay, but let's pretend you are in the industrialized world
and you don't have to survive, so you can pick
as bougie as you want.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I really, in that instance, don't think I could pick
something because I would be sad.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Okay, I'm gonna challenge us both. We have to pick
one final ultimate answer.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Okay, fine, you go first. I'm panicking and my brain
is blinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Oh, I gotta say. So here was my thinking, right,
because I give a lot of thought to this. My
first thought was, noodles is smart. Pasta is smart because
you can throw in so many things so you can.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Keep it very versatile, similar to rice.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Right. Then my other thought was, but enough sushi because
there's a lot of variety there. It's good. And then
my third thought was pizza because it's wonderful and it's
an easy food to take on the go. M Now,
if I have to finally answer this right now, I'm
gonna say sushi. I already regret it, by the way.
(14:23):
It took me about half a second, and I regretted
the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
By the way, I was all committed to noodles with you,
and then you said sushi, and I was like, Oh,
that really gives you a lot of opportunity because you
have the tempera options you can do with and without rice.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I mean, what about sandwiches. We haven't even talked about that.
Sandwiches are versatiles. Heck, all right, you have five seconds.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I'm going noodles. You take sushi after noodles, Okay, I
love it.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, Oh, Brittany, thanks for breaking Oh yeah, you want
to pair a drink with it, she.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Asked, stressful.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Oh, there's a bonus part of the question.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You had to pair it with a drink. What would
it be, uh, cherry coke? Zero?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm assuming there's water right right,
because I drink a ton of water.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
If I could only have one extra to water for
the rest of my life, it would be iced tea
and no sweetener like plain iced tea.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Does it bum you? Out when you go to the
South and you can't find unsweetened iced tea to save that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It actually does. It's hard for me.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, struggle is real, Okay, Brooke writes, how do you
think Brooke and Peyton's personal style has evolved since the
og ot days? What kind of aesthetic do you want
them to have if there is a new show. When
there is a new.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Show, well, if we get the whole band back together.
There was a lot of bad fashion in the early
odds friends, like a lot. I do think in some
ways it got better as time went on, and then
I don't know, there's still stuff I see when we're
watching currently, like mid season seven, where I'm like, oh,
(15:57):
oh that was a that was a tough outfit. I think, Oh,
I don't know, God, I haven't really thought about Brooks fashion.
I've thought so much about, you know, for her and
for all the rest of us, like what we're doing
in our adulthood, what we're motivated by, how our families
are doing. I think because we're in the not over
(16:22):
the finish line phase, I haven't thought about any of
like the exciting details yet. But look, I love a
power suit and so i'd really like to see clothes
over bros, Like, maybe do some suiting so that I
could just wear more suits.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
That feels like something Alexander Coyne should have brought to
the table.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Listen, all bets are off, Honey, Well, I wonder what
Mitch's doing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
We should call him.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh, that's actually a good idea. And you know, I
just want to circle back to something because when we
talked about the parent question up top, yeah, I had
a thought of I could actually see Brook and Julian
being amazing parents. And then I realized we're going to
get the opportunity. I believe again, I remember so little
of the show. I think down the line and I thought,
(17:05):
how cool I'm gonna get to see in real time?
If I mean, listen, I doubt the show would portray
you guys as horrible parents. That would be weird and
conflicting for the fans. But I'm glad I get to
see it unfold because I think I do recall your
family grows.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird to think that we got the
sort of first stage of that in season nine.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
It's so sweet, and.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You know what's funny. Slash Sad is the only reason
I remember that is because I remember a specific storyline
of Julian not being a top notch dad.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, and there's.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
A real dicey situation with the car, so that's it's funny.
I don't remember like happy scenes. I just remember the
one time he forgot he had kids.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
In the car.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh god, Oh yeah, you're like you. I bet you
guys were such great parents. Weren't you actually?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Hold on?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, here, I am putting my money on you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Okay. I actually think Clay and Julian in a son
and father dynamic would be so sweet. So if we
got to bend the space time continuum, I'd like to
see like we did the nineteen forties episode, I'd like
to see the everyone's generations change in someone having, you know,
a dream episode and suddenly Julian's your dad. I'd like
(18:13):
to see you in Austin do that storyline.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Oh gosh, that would be so like that movie with
Robin Williams where as a kid he falls into a
coma and he wakes up exactly emotional age of like
a six year old.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I would love that.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
That'd be so fun.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, back, we're going to circle back Tangent number two
to Brooks question what Clay was very obviously smartly dressed.
I still don't know why they made you do so
many scenes walking on the beach in a full suit
and beautiful swede loafers. But you know, ten years in
the future, where do you think your style would be?
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Are you still in nice dress slacks? Are you have
you gone totally casual?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Where where in your brain is your vibe?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It's funny because I think two opposing things have happened. One,
he got married little spoiler alert fans, sorry, he gets married.
And I can say from my personal experience, once I
had Jenny in my life, my fashion got a lot
better because she was like, you wear the same two
shirts and two pairs of jeans every day. We're actually
(19:18):
gonna add colors and different stuff. So he has that
working for his wardrobe. I think he will be dressing better. However,
he's gotten married and he's locked it up, which means
he's all about comfort. So he's probably got a pair
of crocs, some sweatpants, he's nearly worn a hole in
behind because he's not trying to impress anybody. He locked
it down. I would like to see him dress well, though,
(19:41):
because just selfishly like, come on, guys, put me in
some sharp suits.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah right. There's nothing better than when you come into
work for a fitting in, like you know, your oldest,
most comfortable sweatpants, and then you get dressed up and
you're like, wow, this is nice, Like do people dress
like this out in the real world?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It's the best. Man. Oh, that's such a nice feeling
and a feeling like we just have to fit you
for the bedroom scene. You're like, yeah, give me all
the sweats.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, Lisa wants to know what is your strangest talent.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I had this weird thing back from when I was
a bartender where people would come in and I would
just be able to guess their drink and imagine did
to rip off grubs this whole bit. That's such a
good talent though, That is the perfect answer to this question.
I don't have anything as distinct or cool as a
(20:51):
do you?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I am so weirdly good at packing, and I I
mean this in terms of you need to fit more
in a suitcase than you think is possible. I can
do it for you, and I will get everything you
need in that bag and then you'll still have room
for three things you think wouldn't have fit in a
best case scenario. But this applies not just to any
(21:15):
size suitcase. It also applies to spaces that need to
be packed. So if you have to pack for a
road trip, I'm your gal. I'll get stuff in the trunk.
You won't even believe it. If you need to pack
a storage unit and you're like, well, clearly you know
I need the fifteen by twenty, I'm like, we're gonna
get it into the ten by nine. Watch this, Like,
I don't know why. Maybe I played too much Tetris
(21:38):
as a kid, but.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
That is my jam.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, that just makes sense. So do you are you
a fan of puzzles?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yes, I don't do them very often, but anytime I'm
somewhere with people who do puzzles, I get really into it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah I'm sorry. I don't mean like piece by piece
putting together. I mean like mental puzzles, you know, like
to figure things out.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Sure, but I'm I'm a little gullible clearly, so I
don't often see the mystery coming ahead. I really am like,
oh my god, Like I'll be shocked by a movie
I've made along with the audience. I don't know what's
wrong with me, But for me, it's less the like
mental puzzle riddle, it's the spatial puzzle.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, sure, because it's it's visual as well. So because
you excel at this when you sit down to start, Like,
let's say you have to pack for a trip, yeah,
do you get excited? Is it a process you enjoy
or is it stressful? But you're just very good at it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I like the packing part. What I don't like is
trying to figure out what I really need to because
I get overwhelmed. I've realized there's a lot of arenas
in life where I'm really decisive. I make really good decisions.
For whatever reason, the pressure I feel about clothes, and
maybe it's because I grew up on a TV show
(23:03):
playing a fashion designer and I'd come from a school
where I had to wear a uniform, I was like,
I don't think I get it. I love fashion. I
think it's so amazing. I really like how it informs
a character. But when I have to dress myself for
a trip, I panic. I'm like, I don't know what
I need and my partner is this person who literally
has never packed one extra thing aside from the exact
(23:25):
stuff she needs, and every second time she walks out
of the house, she looks like she stepped out of
an ad. I'm like, where are you? How is this possible?
Even in sweats like, she looks like an Adidas ad.
It's not normal and I I don't have that gift.
But once I figure out what I'm taking getting the
(23:45):
things off, I normally pull a rolling rack out and
like hangs, I have to see it. I have to
see it clearly. I'm visual. Once I finally figure out
what I'm going to take, which is usually stressful and
sometimes I want to cry. Once I'm over that hump
getting everything in a suitcase, it's like it's my moment
where the clouds part and the lights come down, and
(24:07):
like Indiana Jones has saved the day. When I'm folding
and rolling, I'm like, everybody out of my way. This
is my time. It's my time to shine.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yes, I completely understand that and relate to that because
on the exact same way, I have to pack for
this trip tomorrow morning. And the stressful part to me,
because here's what it is. The beginning part is decision making,
and sometimes I'm not so great with having to be decisive, right,
but once it's all laid out, I'm with you. I'm like,
let's get efficient. Yeah, I love that. But the part
(24:38):
where I'm like, do I need two pairs of sweats
or three? It's like, buddy, just make it. It doesn't
matter they have a washing machine.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You just got to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, and it's something I'm actually I've started to do
the thing that I feel like we did it on set, especially,
you know, I remember realizing I really wanted to direct,
and then I started asking a million questions of directors
and a DP and I've started to do that with
AASH And I'll be like, so what talk to me
about what you're thinking? How are you thinking about, like
(25:10):
like what's the level of dress code? And she looks
at me like I have four heads, and I'm like, no, no,
I'm trying to learn how your brain sees an itinerary
impacts for it because my brain season itinerary and wants
to saw because I feel like I have no idea
what the right thing is and she doesn't have that stress.
(25:30):
So now I'm trying to learn from her like I
would learn from like a director of photography.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I think the trick is to remind yourself that the
stakes are lower than they feel.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, yeah, like this is literally the least important thing
in the world is outfit I'm wearing to speak on
a panel at such and so, Like it literally doesn't matter,
But for me I feel pressure.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah when it because it feels like it's a big
deal and you don't want to get it wrong.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yes, well, and with our jobs too, fashion has become
such a synonymous heart of entertainment and I'm like, well, yes,
when when you have like a team of stylists and
you can call all the people like Rihanna, who has
the sickest style of any human on planet Earth, that's cool.
(26:15):
I'm like, that is not my life. And also I'm
so stressed out about like what it's supposed to be.
It's almost like I feel like there's an expectation for
us to always be put together, and I'm like, yeah,
I am not put together. I'm like reading the news
and we're podcasting and we're on a plane every other day.
Like I'm not the gal who always has the outfit,
(26:36):
but I am trying to make it more of a
fun thing again, which I think is how I felt
about it when I was younger, and it didn't feel
so pressurized. I'm trying to let it be fun and
expressive instead of feel like there's expectation on it, because
expectation is such a joy killer, don't you think, Oh.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
My gosh, yeah, nothing will take the air out. You're
blown faster than that. Man. Yeah, But I will say
you fake it very well because as someone who is
not you, I see the pictures, especially like the pictures
you post of you and Ash at events, and I
just laugh, going like, you guys are the friends that
when you show up to the party, all the other
friends are like, shit, we're.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Under dressed, Like, oh my god, that's nice.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
No one looks at the two of you and feels
really good about their wardrobe choices.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Well, by the way, how do you think I feel
in my own house now? Because I'm like, I got
to keep up with this.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
This is a whole added.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Layer of stress. And then I laugh at myself because
I'm like, this is a champagne problem and actually this
is cute. Like I feel like a little nervous about
the step up.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
How fun.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I haven't felt that in a long time. Let's seek.
You just have to flip your perspective a lot. And
that's it, right, is like, there's so much pressure and
so much instability to so much of what we do
that I'm like, oh, maybe I can take some of
the things that feel pressury and make them feel fun
or like be giddy and excited about it like I
(28:02):
felt when I was twenty two. That feels cool.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I love that for you.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Make it fun that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Us just doing therapy together today.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Ron our therapists would be so proud of us. Okay,
but enough of our therapy. Let's get back some questions.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Okay, this is actually sort of great because what we're
really doing is admitting that we've been doing these jobs
for a really long time and we still feel nervous
all the time, which I do think is very sweet.
It is something I think is really special about our
crew of friends is I don't think anybody ever got jaded.
You know, we're all really still so excited to do this,
(28:37):
to be part of this big circus family of entertainers.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
And so Gabe.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Actually asks the perfect final question for our Q and A.
Gabe wants to know who was the last celebrity that
you were most starstruck by when you.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Met Okay, can I give two answers.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
The first is Henry Winkler was doing a convention and
I saw him across the room and it was one
of those ones, the moments where I just thought like,
I just have to say something to him, and I
went up and I whenever if I ever approached someone,
I try to be very efficient because I know what
it's like on the other side, so I always just
(29:16):
try to say something like, Hey, I just want to
let you know I really love your work. I hope
you have a great day. Like I try to keep
it very concise, and with him, I lost all cool
and was like, hey, I think you're great. Can I
have a hug? And luckily, because he's America's dad, he
was like, come on, and he gave me a hug
and that was incredible. But what's the funny one is
(29:37):
actually a good friend of yours. I was at an
e function because for a while I worked at e Yes,
and I was there with my buddy Jason, and he goes,
oh he taps and she goes, hey, I want to
introduce you to someone. And I turn around and it's
your friend Chelsea handler.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
The coolest person ever, extraordinarily quick witted, and she hit
me with a line and that was funny and clever,
and because it was already so fast and there was
a compliment included, I fully did the thing you see
in movies where you don't form coherent words.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I was just like, oh, yeah, yeah, hi, and I
just it's and listen like I'm a pretty quick person too.
It's the only time I've ever had someone just leave
me in a puddle of myself. I was like, I don't,
I just I just completely evolved. I couldn't speak and
I tried to rebound, but it was just that's the
(30:34):
only time she was just she has a fastball.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
She really, I mean, nobody's quicker than her. I I
had one, But you just reminded me of something that
I haven't actually thought about in a while, which is
a bit humiliating. A couple of years ago, I was
at the Emmy's and it was just like a great
(30:59):
year for television and Mikayla Cole, the star and writer
of I May Destroy You, who was there, and I
saw her and I was like, I'm gonna do it.
I'm just gonna work it out. I'm gonna walk right
up there and just say I'm such a fan of
your work. And I really was like playing it cool.
And we said hello, and we shook hands, and she
(31:19):
grabbed me by the shoulder and paid me the most
gorgeous compliment. And I short circuited and I reached up
like she held my arm like this, and I like
reached up and grabbed the other side of her arm
and pulled her into a hug. And I don't know
what I said. I just started talking. And then I
was like, I'm overwhelmed. This was great. I have to go,
(31:42):
and like we had the coolest interaction until I my
brain broke and I was like we were on our
way somewhere. And then I made it. I just made
I made it weird, like I made it weird, and
I excused myself and I was like, I'm gonna I
got nothing. I don't even have it now.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
I lost it.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And so Michael Cole, I think you are a queen.
And hopefully this second time we chat, I will be
less weird.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, that show was incredible. By the way, There's something
about I think when we're going to that situation, we're
preparing for only negative responses like our brain isn't preparing
for a compliment, yeah, or even any sort of acknowledgment
that they know us, let alone say so when they
hit you with something, you're just like, ah, I had
(32:30):
no I did no prep work around this.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh boy, it's very tricky, I will say. On a
brighter note, A couple of weeks ago, I was doing
a little news thing for the election in New York
and Hannah Gadsby was on my segment on MSNBC, and
I totally geeked and was so excited and I kept
(32:54):
my cool in a much better way whilst we were
all live on the news. And then we walked back
into the hallways to all like grab our stuff from
the green rooms, and their wife was there and they're
like doing a show in New York for the next
five weeks. And we got to chatting and I do
not know what I said, but at one point I
said something kind of quick, and I made Hama Gadsby
(33:16):
laugh out loud, and I was like, that's it, I'm done.
I'm going home for the night. This is officially the
best day I've had in a long time.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
See ya, You're like, hang on, everybody, I have to
update my Instagram bio real quick made Hannah Gatsby laugh
out loud.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I was like, made favorite comedian laugh one time in hallway.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
That's great, it was really.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It was very cool. And I just realized that this
audio is going to publish, So there's a very good
chance someone will tag Hannah on something on the Internet
and then they'll know that as chill as I seemed
in that hallway, I wasn't And I've really, I've I've
I've done it again. I've shot myself in the foot.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Wouldn't it be hilarious and devastating if it did make
it back to her and she responded to you and went, oh,
I was actually laughing at something my friend Cheryl said.
I wasn't paying attention to.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You'd be like, and I'll just I'll crawl under a
rock and die.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Oh this was fun.
Speaker 2 (34:18):

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hello, friends and listeners, we are back with a Q
and a episode. Thank you all so much for the
questions that you send into all of our socials. They're
pretty excellent when you say.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Roberto, Yeah, except for the one listener who keeps writing
in asking for my social Security number.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's awkward. That needs to stop.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It needs to stop. You keep asking, and it's not
going to happen, So stop asking.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, no personal identifying details should be the rule, right, yes,
and no FEAT pictures either. Guys like enough of.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That, stop requesting them and stops sending them. Guys, just
be cool.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
All right, Bob, how's your day? I've been traveling. I
know Joy's on our book tour, so we don't have
her today, but we have me and you at the
very last minute.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, we scrambled to put this together.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Good for us, honestly, like you guys, for our friends
at home. You know, we have to work around so
many people's schedules. You've got three hosts, you've got a
whole team of producers, we've got a whole like you know,
audio visual team. And today there was a group chat
that went out about like, hey, we really need to
get another Q and A on the books And I
was like, I have a break on set. Is anyone
(01:37):
free now? And Rob was like I am, and here
we are.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We made it happen. We scrambled very well. I really
got to say, three is the magic number. Yeah, if
it was just two of us, it would be really hard.
But three is kind of perfect because it's that sweet
spot where sometimes we get all three and it's great,
but then we have to scramble. We can usually find
a time for at least two of us.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Well, because everybody he can cover for each other, and
because as you've said, we have such a deep bench
of great humans from our show, we can always call
a friend to like jump in and co host and whatever.
So it's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Did you get a chance to listen to Michael Grubbs episode.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
No, not yet, but I hear it's so good.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
It was so much fun. And I'm saying this because
you're talking about our extremely deep bench. And I was
so pleased to see such a massive positive reaction to
his episode and just this outpouring of love, which is
appropriate and fitting. But I was I wasn't sure like
how Grubs rated on the meter, you know, because he's
only in something like six epis. It's something small, is
(02:42):
that true? I feel like when we were talking about it,
he kind of off the cuff made to Connor, He's like, oh, yeah,
I was only in such and such episodes. I'm looking
this up. Why we talk? But yeah, And so I
was like, you have you made such a big imprint
for me, Like to me, you were such a like
a fixture on the show, insane. Yeah. And then so
it was cool though, was all the fans like when
(03:02):
his episode dropped and like we started, like the socials
were posting about it, people like the comment section was
just head to tell was like, Grubs is the best.
I loved him so much.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Wait, I feel the same as you. He made such
an impact on me. In my mind. Grubs was with
us for years. Yeah, like years, multiple If he was
on the insex episodes, I'm actually going to feel like
a crazy person.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Ten he was in ten episodes her IMDb yop. Oh
my god, he was in as many episodes as Alexander
Coin And no disrespect to Mitch, but like, when I
think about it, to me, I'm like, oh, Grubs was
just around the whole time I was there. Maybe just
because when he popped in, he just brought it in
such a way, but crazy, right, Well.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And I guess in regards to Mitch's story, like the
Alexander and where we go with what happens with him,
it had a book obviously, you know, there's the whole
thing within the company and Victoria and me and Julian
and I don't know why that tracks in linear time
(04:10):
for me, but Grubs feels so omnipresent in a way.
And maybe that's because we would also all go see
him on tour and we'd hang out in New York
all the time. Like I have such fond memories of
going to see theater with Grubs and then going to
like late night food in New York City. Like it's
so crazy to me to think that he he only
(04:31):
did ten episodes of our show How Far.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I think also part of that is because Alexander Combing
was a device. He wasn't so much a character as
he was a device. He was there to sort of
stress test the Broullian relationship, right, you know, so there
really wasn't a whole lot of like character development or
building his world. Yeah, whereas Grubbs had no objective. He
(04:57):
was there to like get to be a character, slowly develop.
Also because he worked at Trick, I think there's a
lot of times where he may not have actually been
on screen, but when people are talking about Trick, you're like, oh, yeah,
Grubs and Chase, you know.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, wow, that's so interesting. And that's a really good point,
you know, for for us but also for our listeners
that when a character comes in as a device, when
they have a particular role to play, a particular thing
to upset, sometimes it actually boxes in the actor from
being able to do more because when that character's job
(05:32):
is over, the writers don't really have anything else for
them to do. And so sometimes coming in in these
less defined even you know, quote unquote smaller roles like
a guest arc can turn into a regular character because
there winds up being such great stuff for this person
to do. And when your character has a really specific
(05:53):
homework assignment, sometimes it also means you don't get to
play for as long.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, I did say it's a great job. Rest in peace,
Alexander con you were a lovely device.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Lovely device. I just realized we've really gone on a
tangent shocker for us and we haven't actually read a
single question from a fan yet.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, you know what, in no time like the present,
let's jump in first one here, Kate Kate writes in
if you had to pick one character for these relationships
in your real life, who would you pick to be
your parent, spouse and best friend?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
And why?
Speaker 3 (06:32):
WHOA yeah, this is actually this is a fantastic question.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Okay, So obviously immediately my brain was like, well, Hillary
is my best friend, and but then I got to say,
over the last fourteen years of watching her be a parent,
like she's hands down the coolest mom.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I oh yeah, any of us.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Like I want in my next life, I want Hillary
Burton to be my mom.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
True, but remember character Oh oh care, yeah, yeah, oh
I agree. Heill's a great layup. But no, we're talking.
It's got to be Peyton if that's the case.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh, she's just so cool man like everything she's doing
at the PTSL, I'm like, teach me your ways character.
I kind of think Karen Rowe is the best mom,
like Lucas's mom is the best mom. But also, shit,
Debb would be a fun mom. I know she's wild
and like being her child as a teenager, per Nathan
(07:29):
is very complicated, but I also sort of think that
in your adult life, deb Scott would be like a
pretty bomb mom.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Yeah, a bomb mom.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Nicemb mom. I can't wait to tell Barbara I said
that today.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
She who I. I've never spent quality time with her,
and then we did this convention together in Paris and
she is so wonderful, the best, so sweet, so much fun. Yeah,
she did not disappoint.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I'm so glad you got time with her.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Okay, how about spouse and best friend?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Well, who would your parent be?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
You know? My knee jerk actually was we'd have to
kind of shift the timelines here. But my first thought
was Nathan, Yes, like, if I had to, if I
had to pick like a father figure, obviously, I said
I'd have to be much younger. But I was like, man, Nathan,
Nathan feels good, but I'm completely with you when I
was thinking moms, because here's the deal. I don't know
Karen because unfortunately that predates me and my exposure to
(08:27):
the show. But my second thought was we start talking
about Barb was like, that's the right amount of like
fun and distinction. I yeah, I could get behind that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Deb feels like the person that when you are also
an adult, like we are with our parents now and
you're you know, obviously there's a generation between you, but
you're all living an adults life where you go, oh now,
my now, my parent is my friend? Like Deb gives
me that energy. But I will say, having to then
think about who I would want to be my dad
(08:57):
from the show, I'm like, well, obviously Nathan and Nathan
and Haley are the best parents, but like in my brain,
Haley's joy and Joy is my friend and peer, so like, yeah,
I have to scramble the timelines, but Neale would obviously
be the best parents. Also as a child, Okay, for
me as a kid, I want Nathan and Haley to
(09:18):
be my parents, and then in my adulthood, I want
dem to also be my.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Mom, So.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Now she can't be my stepmom because her son is
my dad. Okay, this is actually getting super weird. I'm
going to stop myself, but you get what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I get it, I get it. How about spouse and
best friend? Or just pick one spouse or best friend? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
I feel like we have to go category by category
otherwise it's too hard for me. Is that like an
ADHD thing?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
I got to do one assignment.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I relate to. I'm just saying we don't need to
answer all three. Why don't we just pick whatever I want?
Jumps out to you more.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Ooh, I don't know. Who do you want your spouse
to be?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Man, I mean we'll listen. It worked out pretty well,
oh in my real life? Okay, in my real life. Wow,
that's a good question. I have to marinate on that. Uh,
do you have one like loaded and Ready?
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I mean, am I stating the obvious here? If I say,
if I had to pick a one Treho character to
be my real life spouse, I would pick Peyton.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, du Yeah, I mean I'm probably gonna have to
go Alex just because I thrive on dysfunction. You know
as much as as much therapy as I do. I
love some drama, so just.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Give me that.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I love that choice. Oh my god, how fun? Okay, Okay,
and then who who's your best friend?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
See, this is the easy one because there's there's a
this is a very deep bench. Uh you know skills Oh.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, sign absolutely, but that's a perfect pick.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Yeah, he's he's so fun. He's a good guy. He
still has a lot of childlike wonder to him, like
he's he's the kind of guy you could be silly with.
But the and also like talk the language of the
heart with. Yeah, it's skills.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Yeah, and he always shows up. Yeah, skills is such
a good friend.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Like that.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Okay, I love that. Kate, what a question.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Way to go, Kate.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, I want to read this one because it starts
talking about you. Brittany says, I am a huge foodie
like Rob, I love to book almost as much as
I love to eat. If you could only eat one
thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
And why? Wow?
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I struggle with questions that make me narrow something down
to one, Like when people go like, what's your favorite
this or favorite that I've found as an adult, I
just go today my favorite is or I'll go here
are my top three because for some reason, committing to one,
my brain's like, but what if we make the wrong choice?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Yeah, the favorite thing makes me panic? Yeah, I will
say how I can stay in this lane, or rather
maybe it's like I can stay on this highway, but
I got to change lanes. Is when I think about
if there's only one endless supply of food I could
have were I to be stranded on an island, what
(12:22):
I would pick would be rice because rice. If I
caught fish, great, I could season it with seaweed, I
could dry out salt from the ocean water. If I
caught a chicken on the island, found some veggies, I
could I could eventually figure out how to make fried rice,
sushi rice like. I actually think rice would be the
(12:45):
most versatile food that would pair with every other source
of protein and vegetable you might find on said desert island,
deserted island. And I think by the time I to
be rescued a lah Tom Hanks and castaway, I would
be like a bomb ass rice chef.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Listen, this right here was the perfect audition tape for
Survivor or Red or No Alone.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Alone, that's my favorite show.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
I can tell. I can tell by the way you
talk about this. I'm like, she has clearly watched this show.
So listen, someone out there, cut up the audio, send
it to the folks that alone because SO has a
lot of confidence.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I have a lot of thoughts about them.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Okay, but let's pretend you are in the industrialized world
and you don't have to survive, so you can pick
as bougie as you want.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
I really, in that instance, don't think I could pick
something because I would be sad.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Okay, I'm gonna challenge us both. We have to pick
one final ultimate answer.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Okay, fine, you go first. I'm panicking and my brain
is blinking.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Oh, I gotta say. So here was my thinking, right,
because I give a lot of thought to this. My
first thought was, noodles is smart. Pasta is smart because
you can throw in so many things so you can.
Speaker 4 (13:58):
Keep it very versatile, similar to rice.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Right. Then my other thought was, but enough sushi because
there's a lot of variety there. It's good. And then
my third thought was pizza because it's wonderful and it's
an easy food to take on the go. M Now,
if I have to finally answer this right now, I'm
gonna say sushi. I already regret it, by the way.
(14:23):
It took me about half a second, and I regretted
the answer.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
By the way, I was all committed to noodles with you,
and then you said sushi, and I was like, Oh,
that really gives you a lot of opportunity because you
have the tempera options you can do with and without rice.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
I mean, what about sandwiches. We haven't even talked about that.
Sandwiches are versatiles. Heck, all right, you have five seconds.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I'm going noodles. You take sushi after noodles, Okay, I
love it.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Well, Oh, Brittany, thanks for breaking Oh yeah, you want
to pair a drink with it, she.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Asked, stressful.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Oh, there's a bonus part of the question.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
You had to pair it with a drink. What would
it be, uh, cherry coke? Zero?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm assuming there's water right right,
because I drink a ton of water.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
If I could only have one extra to water for
the rest of my life, it would be iced tea
and no sweetener like plain iced tea.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Does it bum you? Out when you go to the
South and you can't find unsweetened iced tea to save that.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It actually does. It's hard for me.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, struggle is real, Okay, Brooke writes, how do you
think Brooke and Peyton's personal style has evolved since the
og ot days? What kind of aesthetic do you want
them to have if there is a new show. When
there is a new.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Show, well, if we get the whole band back together.
There was a lot of bad fashion in the early
odds friends, like a lot. I do think in some
ways it got better as time went on, and then
I don't know, there's still stuff I see when we're
watching currently, like mid season seven, where I'm like, oh,
(15:57):
oh that was a that was a tough outfit. I think, Oh,
I don't know, God, I haven't really thought about Brooks fashion.
I've thought so much about, you know, for her and
for all the rest of us, like what we're doing
in our adulthood, what we're motivated by, how our families
are doing. I think because we're in the not over
(16:22):
the finish line phase, I haven't thought about any of
like the exciting details yet. But look, I love a
power suit and so i'd really like to see clothes
over bros, Like, maybe do some suiting so that I
could just wear more suits.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
That feels like something Alexander Coyne should have brought to
the table.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Listen, all bets are off, Honey, Well, I wonder what
Mitch's doing.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
We should call him.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Oh, that's actually a good idea. And you know, I
just want to circle back to something because when we
talked about the parent question up top, yeah, I had
a thought of I could actually see Brook and Julian
being amazing parents. And then I realized we're going to
get the opportunity. I believe again, I remember so little
of the show. I think down the line and I thought,
(17:05):
how cool I'm gonna get to see in real time?
If I mean, listen, I doubt the show would portray
you guys as horrible parents. That would be weird and
conflicting for the fans. But I'm glad I get to
see it unfold because I think I do recall your
family grows.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, yeah, it's weird to think that we got the
sort of first stage of that in season nine.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
It's so sweet, and.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
You know what's funny. Slash Sad is the only reason
I remember that is because I remember a specific storyline
of Julian not being a top notch dad.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, and there's.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
A real dicey situation with the car, so that's it's funny.
I don't remember like happy scenes. I just remember the
one time he forgot he had kids.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
In the car.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh god, Oh yeah, you're like you. I bet you
guys were such great parents. Weren't you actually?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Hold on?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yeah, here, I am putting my money on you.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Okay. I actually think Clay and Julian in a son
and father dynamic would be so sweet. So if we
got to bend the space time continuum, I'd like to
see like we did the nineteen forties episode, I'd like
to see the everyone's generations change in someone having, you know,
a dream episode and suddenly Julian's your dad. I'd like
(18:13):
to see you in Austin do that storyline.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Oh gosh, that would be so like that movie with
Robin Williams where as a kid he falls into a
coma and he wakes up exactly emotional age of like
a six year old.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
I would love that.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
That'd be so fun.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, back, we're going to circle back Tangent number two
to Brooks question what Clay was very obviously smartly dressed.
I still don't know why they made you do so
many scenes walking on the beach in a full suit
and beautiful swede loafers. But you know, ten years in
the future, where do you think your style would be?
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Are you still in nice dress slacks? Are you have
you gone totally casual?
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Where where in your brain is your vibe?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It's funny because I think two opposing things have happened. One,
he got married little spoiler alert fans, sorry, he gets married.
And I can say from my personal experience, once I
had Jenny in my life, my fashion got a lot
better because she was like, you wear the same two
shirts and two pairs of jeans every day. We're actually
(19:18):
gonna add colors and different stuff. So he has that
working for his wardrobe. I think he will be dressing better. However,
he's gotten married and he's locked it up, which means
he's all about comfort. So he's probably got a pair
of crocs, some sweatpants, he's nearly worn a hole in
behind because he's not trying to impress anybody. He locked
it down. I would like to see him dress well, though,
(19:41):
because just selfishly like, come on, guys, put me in
some sharp suits.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah right. There's nothing better than when you come into
work for a fitting in, like you know, your oldest,
most comfortable sweatpants, and then you get dressed up and
you're like, wow, this is nice, Like do people dress
like this out in the real world?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
It's the best. Man. Oh, that's such a nice feeling
and a feeling like we just have to fit you
for the bedroom scene. You're like, yeah, give me all
the sweats.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay, Lisa wants to know what is your strangest talent.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
I had this weird thing back from when I was
a bartender where people would come in and I would
just be able to guess their drink and imagine did
to rip off grubs this whole bit. That's such a
good talent though, That is the perfect answer to this question.
I don't have anything as distinct or cool as a
(20:51):
do you?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
I am so weirdly good at packing, and I I
mean this in terms of you need to fit more
in a suitcase than you think is possible. I can
do it for you, and I will get everything you
need in that bag and then you'll still have room
for three things you think wouldn't have fit in a
best case scenario. But this applies not just to any
(21:15):
size suitcase. It also applies to spaces that need to
be packed. So if you have to pack for a
road trip, I'm your gal. I'll get stuff in the trunk.
You won't even believe it. If you need to pack
a storage unit and you're like, well, clearly you know
I need the fifteen by twenty, I'm like, we're gonna
get it into the ten by nine. Watch this, Like,
I don't know why. Maybe I played too much Tetris
(21:38):
as a kid, but.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
That is my jam.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Yeah, that just makes sense. So do you are you
a fan of puzzles?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yes, I don't do them very often, but anytime I'm
somewhere with people who do puzzles, I get really into it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Yeah I'm sorry. I don't mean like piece by piece
putting together. I mean like mental puzzles, you know, like
to figure things out.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Sure, but I'm I'm a little gullible clearly, so I
don't often see the mystery coming ahead. I really am like,
oh my god, Like I'll be shocked by a movie
I've made along with the audience. I don't know what's
wrong with me, But for me, it's less the like
mental puzzle riddle, it's the spatial puzzle.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, sure, because it's it's visual as well. So because
you excel at this when you sit down to start, Like,
let's say you have to pack for a trip, yeah,
do you get excited? Is it a process you enjoy
or is it stressful? But you're just very good at it.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I like the packing part. What I don't like is
trying to figure out what I really need to because
I get overwhelmed. I've realized there's a lot of arenas
in life where I'm really decisive. I make really good decisions.
For whatever reason, the pressure I feel about clothes, and
maybe it's because I grew up on a TV show
(23:03):
playing a fashion designer and I'd come from a school
where I had to wear a uniform, I was like,
I don't think I get it. I love fashion. I
think it's so amazing. I really like how it informs
a character. But when I have to dress myself for
a trip, I panic. I'm like, I don't know what
I need and my partner is this person who literally
has never packed one extra thing aside from the exact
(23:25):
stuff she needs, and every second time she walks out
of the house, she looks like she stepped out of
an ad. I'm like, where are you? How is this possible?
Even in sweats like, she looks like an Adidas ad.
It's not normal and I I don't have that gift.
But once I figure out what I'm taking getting the
(23:45):
things off, I normally pull a rolling rack out and
like hangs, I have to see it. I have to
see it clearly. I'm visual. Once I finally figure out
what I'm going to take, which is usually stressful and
sometimes I want to cry. Once I'm over that hump
getting everything in a suitcase, it's like it's my moment
where the clouds part and the lights come down, and
(24:07):
like Indiana Jones has saved the day. When I'm folding
and rolling, I'm like, everybody out of my way. This
is my time. It's my time to shine.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yes, I completely understand that and relate to that because
on the exact same way, I have to pack for
this trip tomorrow morning. And the stressful part to me,
because here's what it is. The beginning part is decision making,
and sometimes I'm not so great with having to be decisive, right,
but once it's all laid out, I'm with you. I'm like,
let's get efficient. Yeah, I love that. But the part
(24:38):
where I'm like, do I need two pairs of sweats
or three? It's like, buddy, just make it. It doesn't
matter they have a washing machine.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You just got to do it.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
But that's exactly right.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, and it's something I'm actually I've started to do
the thing that I feel like we did it on set, especially,
you know, I remember realizing I really wanted to direct,
and then I started asking a million questions of directors
and a DP and I've started to do that with
AASH And I'll be like, so what talk to me
about what you're thinking? How are you thinking about, like
(25:10):
like what's the level of dress code? And she looks
at me like I have four heads, and I'm like, no, no,
I'm trying to learn how your brain sees an itinerary
impacts for it because my brain season itinerary and wants
to saw because I feel like I have no idea
what the right thing is and she doesn't have that stress.
(25:30):
So now I'm trying to learn from her like I
would learn from like a director of photography.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
I think the trick is to remind yourself that the
stakes are lower than they feel.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, yeah, like this is literally the least important thing
in the world is outfit I'm wearing to speak on
a panel at such and so, Like it literally doesn't matter,
But for me I feel pressure.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah when it because it feels like it's a big
deal and you don't want to get it wrong.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yes, well, and with our jobs too, fashion has become
such a synonymous heart of entertainment and I'm like, well, yes,
when when you have like a team of stylists and
you can call all the people like Rihanna, who has
the sickest style of any human on planet Earth, that's cool.
(26:15):
I'm like, that is not my life. And also I'm
so stressed out about like what it's supposed to be.
It's almost like I feel like there's an expectation for
us to always be put together, and I'm like, yeah,
I am not put together. I'm like reading the news
and we're podcasting and we're on a plane every other day.
Like I'm not the gal who always has the outfit,
(26:36):
but I am trying to make it more of a
fun thing again, which I think is how I felt
about it when I was younger, and it didn't feel
so pressurized. I'm trying to let it be fun and
expressive instead of feel like there's expectation on it, because
expectation is such a joy killer, don't you think, Oh.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
My gosh, yeah, nothing will take the air out. You're
blown faster than that. Man. Yeah, But I will say
you fake it very well because as someone who is
not you, I see the pictures, especially like the pictures
you post of you and Ash at events, and I
just laugh, going like, you guys are the friends that
when you show up to the party, all the other
friends are like, shit, we're.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Under dressed, Like, oh my god, that's nice.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
No one looks at the two of you and feels
really good about their wardrobe choices.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Well, by the way, how do you think I feel
in my own house now? Because I'm like, I got
to keep up with this.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
This is a whole added.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Layer of stress. And then I laugh at myself because
I'm like, this is a champagne problem and actually this
is cute. Like I feel like a little nervous about
the step up.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
How fun.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I haven't felt that in a long time. Let's seek.
You just have to flip your perspective a lot. And
that's it, right, is like, there's so much pressure and
so much instability to so much of what we do
that I'm like, oh, maybe I can take some of
the things that feel pressury and make them feel fun
or like be giddy and excited about it like I
(28:02):
felt when I was twenty two. That feels cool.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I love that for you.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
Make it fun that.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Us just doing therapy together today.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Ron our therapists would be so proud of us. Okay,
but enough of our therapy. Let's get back some questions.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Okay, this is actually sort of great because what we're
really doing is admitting that we've been doing these jobs
for a really long time and we still feel nervous
all the time, which I do think is very sweet.
It is something I think is really special about our
crew of friends is I don't think anybody ever got jaded.
You know, we're all really still so excited to do this,
(28:37):
to be part of this big circus family of entertainers.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
And so Gabe.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Actually asks the perfect final question for our Q and A.
Gabe wants to know who was the last celebrity that
you were most starstruck by when you.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Met Okay, can I give two answers.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
The first is Henry Winkler was doing a convention and
I saw him across the room and it was one
of those ones, the moments where I just thought like,
I just have to say something to him, and I
went up and I whenever if I ever approached someone,
I try to be very efficient because I know what
it's like on the other side, so I always just
(29:16):
try to say something like, Hey, I just want to
let you know I really love your work. I hope
you have a great day. Like I try to keep
it very concise, and with him, I lost all cool
and was like, hey, I think you're great. Can I
have a hug? And luckily, because he's America's dad, he
was like, come on, and he gave me a hug
and that was incredible. But what's the funny one is
(29:37):
actually a good friend of yours. I was at an
e function because for a while I worked at e Yes,
and I was there with my buddy Jason, and he goes,
oh he taps and she goes, hey, I want to
introduce you to someone. And I turn around and it's
your friend Chelsea handler.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
The coolest person ever, extraordinarily quick witted, and she hit
me with a line and that was funny and clever,
and because it was already so fast and there was
a compliment included, I fully did the thing you see
in movies where you don't form coherent words.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
I was just like, oh, yeah, yeah, hi, and I
just it's and listen like I'm a pretty quick person too.
It's the only time I've ever had someone just leave
me in a puddle of myself. I was like, I don't,
I just I just completely evolved. I couldn't speak and
I tried to rebound, but it was just that's the
(30:34):
only time she was just she has a fastball.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
She really, I mean, nobody's quicker than her. I I
had one, But you just reminded me of something that
I haven't actually thought about in a while, which is
a bit humiliating. A couple of years ago, I was
at the Emmy's and it was just like a great
(30:59):
year for television and Mikayla Cole, the star and writer
of I May Destroy You, who was there, and I
saw her and I was like, I'm gonna do it.
I'm just gonna work it out. I'm gonna walk right
up there and just say I'm such a fan of
your work. And I really was like playing it cool.
And we said hello, and we shook hands, and she
(31:19):
grabbed me by the shoulder and paid me the most
gorgeous compliment. And I short circuited and I reached up
like she held my arm like this, and I like
reached up and grabbed the other side of her arm
and pulled her into a hug. And I don't know
what I said. I just started talking. And then I
was like, I'm overwhelmed. This was great. I have to go,
(31:42):
and like we had the coolest interaction until I my
brain broke and I was like we were on our
way somewhere. And then I made it. I just made
I made it weird, like I made it weird, and
I excused myself and I was like, I'm gonna I
got nothing. I don't even have it now.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
I lost it.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
And so Michael Cole, I think you are a queen.
And hopefully this second time we chat, I will be
less weird.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Yeah, that show was incredible. By the way, There's something
about I think when we're going to that situation, we're
preparing for only negative responses like our brain isn't preparing
for a compliment, yeah, or even any sort of acknowledgment
that they know us, let alone say so when they
hit you with something, you're just like, ah, I had
(32:30):
no I did no prep work around this.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh boy, it's very tricky, I will say. On a
brighter note, A couple of weeks ago, I was doing
a little news thing for the election in New York
and Hannah Gadsby was on my segment on MSNBC, and
I totally geeked and was so excited and I kept
(32:54):
my cool in a much better way whilst we were
all live on the news. And then we walked back
into the hallways to all like grab our stuff from
the green rooms, and their wife was there and they're
like doing a show in New York for the next
five weeks. And we got to chatting and I do
not know what I said, but at one point I
said something kind of quick, and I made Hama Gadsby
(33:16):
laugh out loud, and I was like, that's it, I'm done.
I'm going home for the night. This is officially the
best day I've had in a long time.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
See ya, You're like, hang on, everybody, I have to
update my Instagram bio real quick made Hannah Gatsby laugh
out loud.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
I was like, made favorite comedian laugh one time in hallway.
Speaker 4 (33:37):
That's great, it was really.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
It was very cool. And I just realized that this
audio is going to publish, So there's a very good
chance someone will tag Hannah on something on the Internet
and then they'll know that as chill as I seemed
in that hallway, I wasn't And I've really, I've I've
I've done it again. I've shot myself in the foot.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Wouldn't it be hilarious and devastating if it did make
it back to her and she responded to you and went, oh,
I was actually laughing at something my friend Cheryl said.
I wasn't paying attention to.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
You'd be like, and I'll just I'll crawl under a
rock and die.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Oh this was fun.
