Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Dear Old Wilson Podcast. God,
I'm just having the best time with this podcast. I
never even knew that what I was missing in my
life was a podcast of all things. It's crazy and
the only one in the world with the podcast. I
thought podcast were just for like weird white comedy guys
that were mad, But it turns out there for everyone.
(00:25):
Thank you guys for listening. I missed you since I
talked to you last week. God, we have such a
good episode for you. Today we have Amy Miller on
She just um came out with a Comedy Central special
UM called hand Mouth So funny. Look it up on YouTube.
You won't regret it. She's hilarious. She tours all over
the country a dear friend of mine, and God her
(00:47):
her letter and this episode is so good. I'm just
so excited for you to hear about it. Another thing
I really really want to tell you is that I
will be doing an hour of stand end up comedy
in Los Angeles on Wednesday, September seven, UM at Dynasty
Typewriter at seven thirty pm. Ron Funches will also be performing,
(01:11):
and Um, I'm going to be donating all of the
proceeds to keep our clinics for abortion, healthcare and rights,
and I think it's just such a great cause and
if you would join me, it would mean so much
to me to support. And I think you'd have a
lot of fun, you know, kill two birds with one stone,
have fun watching comedy, and also support a really great cast.
(01:35):
So I would love to beck in all my um
Blair Bears and dearro and Wilson heads to come out.
It would mean so much to me. It makes me
so happy to see you guys there. And also I
would like to announce a new feature on this podcast. Okay,
so you know you guys know how at the end
of every episode, I do a UM Fan on the
(01:58):
Street segment where I have our guest UM talk about
like a fun celebrity anecdote story. Well, the original tent
intent of that segment was for you guys to write
in with your celebrity fan on the Street stories of
you running into celebrity, good or bad, fun, horrifying, whatever
(02:18):
it is. I want to hear it, so right in
to this email, Dear Owen Wilson pod at gmail dot com,
and I'm so excited to hear your stories. And I'm
gonna read one every week the best one, so send
those into me. Okay, I want to get to know
my listeners better. We're gonna have fun. We're gonna have fun.
And I also want to thank um all of you
(02:41):
who have left reviews. I read every single one and
the people that have messaged me. It makes me so happy.
I do have to um read this one review because
I want this person to make sure they are heard
and seen because it was an incredible review. Skip ahead
because this is kind of long. You don't want to
hear it, but I do find it really entertaining. Honestly,
(03:03):
this person is a good writer, even if they are
mistaken about a few things. Okay, the title is nice
Try Wiggles five star because obviously and it's by d Lavalier.
It says I'm writing this review one to recognize Blair
Saki's contributions to comedy in existence at large. Okay, love it,
(03:24):
Thank you, wow, thank you to to reveal self proclaimed
private investigator in quotes? Can you imagine Lucien Wiggles for
what he really is? A two bit con man um?
Excuse me? How dare you say that about Lucian wiggles,
My dearest and nearest, my private detective, my family. This
person goes on to say, in early August of California
(03:47):
based comic Blair Saki was mysteriously stricken with illness a
kidney infection prior to her shows in two of history's
most highly respected and influential cities, Minneapolis and Chicago. Even Suki,
known for her herculean ability to overcome adversity, True, unfortunately
succumbed to her ailments. True. Again, to a lay person's
(04:08):
untrained eye, it was a simple, open and shut case. However,
to a true private investigator, the scene was filthy with fingerprints,
bread crumbs, and several half crushed cans of mountain dew.
This person really knows me and Lucian. The whole thing stunk,
and that cretaceous stink stunk of craw dads, particularly of
the current river variety. Oh my god, he remembers that
(04:30):
I met Lucian in the Corn River fishing for craw dads.
This is crazy, Needless to say the Fox Fox detective
he's calling my private detective. Foe. Devious plan did successfully
cancel the Minneapolis and Chicago shows, although it ultimately failed
to stop Saki from repeatedly achieving comic excellent on her
recurring podcast at thear Owen Wilson The Sunburned Wiggles could
(04:54):
burden Sack with fatigue and body aches. The lawn chair
dwelling fake p I couldn't stop you see a volleyball
on court executioner from revealing to her audience long hidden
universal truths, from achieving the shrewdest techniques known in investigative
journalism and interviewing, and from empowering her audience and interviewees
(05:14):
with the truest form of compassion. Ever, Saki is a
prose pro and it shows. Okay, I'm really liking where
this is going. If Owen Wilson never formally recognized this
cosmically acclaimed podcast, it's likely because he didn't read Debbie
Moore's text, or because he was sabotaged by the aforementioned
Lucien Wiggles. Why does this guy hate Lucian Wiggles? I
wonder if you've never listened to this podcast, cancer your
(05:36):
plans and withdraw your savings. Wow, wow, that is those
are high instructions. It's signed to invest both your time
and money into dear own Wilson, you won't regret it,
and neither will anyone with whom you canceled plans, or
or anyone who depends on you financially. Just remember this
one thing. Don't trust the sloppy sleuth known as Lucian
Wiggles unless his advice on where to find the best
(05:58):
deals on Mountain Dew. He's not here to help you,
and frankly, I don't think he's here to help Blair either. Okay,
that took a sinister turn. I do appreciate this man's
concern um, but I cannot have anyone disparage my guy,
Lucian Wiggles. I mean, I wouldn't even be able to
get through one interview with all his exhausted without his
(06:19):
exhaustive investigative reporting. I mean, I have this well, I
owe this whole podcast to him. I owe my entire
life to Lucian Wiggles. But nevertheless, I do appreciate this
very well thought out, very well written review, and honestly,
that is the gold standard of reviews. I've never received
a review like that. And it was a ride, it
was a journey, it was literary, it was incredible. Um,
(06:43):
But do not forget that I am Italian, which means
that I am extremely loyal to my loved one. So
please never call Lucian Wiggles a photo detective again. Um,
just because he likes to stay out of the limelight,
he's not really into social media culture doesn't mean that
he does not exist. Okay, remember that that's a life truth. Anyways,
you guys, if you're still listening at this point, oh
my god, this is like a Mark Marin intro. I
(07:05):
just want to thank you again. I love you. Write me,
tell me what's going on, Tell me how you like
the episode, ask me questions DM me. Um, you know,
tell a friend if you like the episode. That's the
best way to get the word out. Share it, maybe
throw an Instagram story up. That's incredible support. I always
appreciate that so much. Um and yeah, tell me how
(07:26):
you're doing. I love this thing we're building. Leave me
a review. You don't have to write a novel like
that guy, but you could if you want to, if
you have extra time on your hands. Okay, make sure
you come out September seven. Enjoy this episode, enjoy your week.
Find some joy, no matter what hell fire is going on,
find a little piece of joy. For you. Um, I
(07:47):
love you guys so much. God bless enjoy this episode
with Amy Miller. All right, everyone, welcome back to the
Dear Owen Wilson Podcast. I'm your host, Blair Sacky, back
(08:10):
here with another luscious episode. While it is an exciting time,
we have an exciting guest. You may know her from
her Comedy Central special ham Mouth just came out a
couple of months ago, incredible special. I was actually there
in the audience, laughing my tail off, laughing my ass off,
(08:34):
having the time of my life, just really laughing, ripped, roaring,
enjoying my friend on the stage, enjoying my friend, tearing
up the stage, sending fire to the stage. Um, her
name is Amy Miller. Oh, good morning. It's all true.
(09:01):
You were there clapping, hortive, hollering. Yeah, oh yeah, whalen, whalen, whalen.
But you know it was all as you say, It
was all true. Because if there's anything I cannot do,
it's fake laugh because it's not in my integrity. I know,
(09:23):
as an Italian. Yeah yeah, it's an Italian. You're right.
How are you doing? I'm pretty good, Blair, you know, yeah, yeah,
I do know. I know this is a good ninety
minutes prior to my customary wake up time. Really surprised
(09:47):
when I saw ten thirty. I assumed you would cancel.
I was like, that doesn't seem right, but um, that's
what they asked me for, so I like that. Um, well,
we have like some an exciting episode because you know
the person you're reading that you chose is an unexpected choice.
(10:09):
I really wouldn't assume you would pick. But when Lucien
was going through with you know who Lucien is, right
of course. Yeah, yeah, my private investigator. Um, when he
was showing me all the extensive research and all of
her filmography, it was pretty stunnying her career. Anyways, I
will I'm I'm giving away too much. Well, why don't
(10:30):
we hop into the letter? Why don't you read your letter? Amy? Okay,
let's do it. Um. I love to surprise you. So
this is great news. I didn't want to do something expected,
so you never know. Okay, Hello Reese, I miss you.
(10:51):
Free Sweatherspoon, Free Sweatherspoon. It's hard to believe how long
we've just been growing up together, side by side, for
virtually mirroring each other's exact lives. Starting out as these
cherubic young girls in church until now just two tastemakers, performers, mentors,
(11:14):
fully grown into these beautiful, charming women. Oh now, I
know we're a few years apart, and I think that's
really cool, because anytime I feel old in Hollywood, I think, hey,
Reese Witherspoon is even older than me, if you can
believe it. Now, I know your name is really Laura
Gene And if I were your parents, I personally might
(11:37):
have called you LJ because like, how fucking cute would
that be if you look like you and you and
you went by l J. But thirteen year old dreamer
that you were, you picked a name, just picked a name,
and it was Reese. We gotta respect it. Such gumption
on our sweet little recy cup. That's what I call you. Um.
(12:00):
Around that same time, I also decided I wanted to
be called Amelia, So yeah, just destined for stardom. I
knew the name Amy just wouldn't be enough. And that's
probably how you felt about being called LJ. Um. One
of us in the sixth grade performed a trampoline dance
routine to the Dolly parton song nine five for the
(12:23):
school talent show. It was not me, but that's only
because my Christian school did not allow secular music. I did, however,
play a boy in the Christmas play Amazing, I mean same,
just it just feels like only yesterday that you exploded
into my life. And Man in the Moon, the movie
(12:45):
where you fuck the older kid who gets ate up
by a tractor. That was either Jeremy or Jason London,
and I never remember which one, but hopefully the one
who's not currently all whacked out on drugs. Man in
the Moon, I Danny's feelings were literally my feelings. I
projected Danny's romance for Court onto every teenage boy at church,
(13:08):
her words constantly ringing in my ears? Did you ever
love somebody so much? And made just sick? And when
two people really care about each other, they try to
understand things even when it's hard. I was so sad
when Court got ate up by that tractor. And I
(13:30):
lived in a city, so the risk of a boy
that I loved being eaten up by a tractor was
pretty slim, but I still would fantasize about it. Boys
I knew were honestly more likely to be killed by
gang violence, which is really sad. It's just round. And
just around the time you were leaving your cheerleading scholarship
at Stanford to pursue acting, I started college at UC Berkeley,
(13:53):
your rival school, to study sociology and work at a
video store. I mean the similarities between us are true,
the endless okay okay Reese and what happened after nine eleven?
What did Lauren Michaels, the king of all entertainment, feel
that our grieving country and the world needed after this
(14:14):
horrific event? For SNLS first episode back after nine eleven,
Riese Witherspoon, of course, our human duve, our goose down
angel writing our spirits. Oh and where were you after
Katrina in the water helping the children? True? Where was Oprah?
(14:35):
Where was Julia Roberts? I don't know, just in their
mansions counting their fucking money. It really disgusted me, frankly
to even think about how little the rest of them give. Um.
I I would love to talk about all your movies,
but you know what you've done. Um. The crazy thing is,
sometimes I feel like you've been in two movies when
(14:56):
it's truly more like forty, and it seems like more
because every single one of them is good. Um, okay,
so Freeway where you wore that Chola makeup, riveting, fear, pleasant,
vellical intentions, I mean the classics. Tracy Flick in election
(15:18):
made me want to grow up to be a bossy
type a slut. And well here we are, lj Um,
you sucked all my boyfriends, all of them, Ruffalo, Phoenix, Lucas,
Toby McGuire, Patrick Dempsey, Mark Wallber, Paul Rudd, Chris Pine,
(15:38):
Tom Hardy Owen and Luke and Jesus Christ. Mark Wahlberg
is so fucking hot in the movie Fear. Um, we
need to all just rewatch And thank you so much,
by the way for setting me on that path of
just going after unhinged bad boys for decades. I don't
regret a single thing. Perhaps the one major difference between us,
(16:04):
Reese is that you, I apparently have only ever been
with white men. And it's an interesting choice, but it's
your choice. Um, not the same. And then Reese, this
is so long it's almost ober. I never wanted to Reese.
(16:25):
The fact that you have the fucking goal to make
a move, a bold move to television and streaming the
impact of this move cannot be understated. Anybody tell me
another actor on the planet that will guarantee I will
watch a TV show. You know how little time I have? Um, okay,
(16:47):
you could get like a six am slot on Fox News,
and I am tuning in. I'm getting up and tuning in.
Your talent. Your charisma truly knows no bounds. And there
used to be a time when movie star or movie
stars and TV stars were TV stars, and you surpassed
both mediums while also perfecting TikTok, just like me, honestly.
(17:10):
But you know, the road to legendary status can get bumpy, Reese.
And yes, we have both found ourselves in a little
bit of a pickle in situations where we needed to
drunkenly scream at police officers, as is our duty as
chardonnay enthusiasts and American white women. Reese, when I say that,
(17:33):
when you asked that cop if he knew who you were,
my spine was as chilled as my wine. Because you're right,
what kind of godless, backwoods, fucking hill billy kid killer
doesn't know fucking Reese Witherspoon, Whitney Caesar like he hadn't
been just jerking off to four Christmas is every December. Okay, unbelievable,
(17:58):
but it was really when you stood up to that
cop and you said, I'm a U. S. Citizen and
I'm allowed to stand on American ground and ask any
question I want to ask. I'm an American citizen. That's
when I knew you're not just my president, my angel,
my muse, honestly me, You're me. You're me Buy and Race.
(18:25):
You both love to read. We both loved the Dolli parton.
We've both worked with victims of domestic abuse. We both
have beautiful singing voices. We both make our boyfriend drive
if we've both been drinking, no matter how drunk he
might also be, and we're both American citizens. Reese from
(18:46):
the USA, I just want to say thank you, Reese Witherspoon,
my Bayou Barbie. I hope soon we can get together
and maybe make some biscuits and we organize our closets.
I love you and care about you so much. And
when two people really care about each other, they try
to understand things even when it's hard. Love Amy Miller,
(19:13):
Oh my god, is it too long? No, it could
never be too long. I enjoyed every little morphsel I
sucked it up. I sucked it all up, like a
last bitut of lemonade on a scorching day. It was
so good, maybe maybe even the most thorough letter we've
(19:36):
ever had on the show. Your bellies full? What my
belly is full? Bitch? Incredible? Oh my god, you left
no stone unturned, incredible, incredible, Amy, The passion, the passion
was just leaping off the page. It's real. I love Reese. Yeah,
I love Reese too, And honestly, you made me through
(20:00):
this reconnect with my love for her. God, I can't
just for you, but for Lucian and for everyone listening. Yeah, no,
thank you. I I so appreciate that this has been
a long time coming. I guess we should just get
into it. Amy, I you did bring this up, and
(20:22):
you did reference it. I didn't know that you were
maybe going to But I am, of course speaking about
the movie election. Um, how would you say that Tracy
Flick influenced your adulthood? Tracy really just um taught me
to be cut throat. Yeah, whatever, it takes the claw
(20:45):
to the top. You have to fuck a teacher. I
don't condone. Thank you for the disclaimer, but she's a
senior in the movie, so we can reasonably assume she
might be um. Just the outfits, the hair, the general
approach to her peers. I mean, there's no limit to
(21:10):
the ways that not just Tracy Flick, but also Tammy
Metzler really influenced me in that movie. But let's not
get off Reese. Sure, Sure, who's truly Also, I think
Reese might be our straightest actor. That's so funny. That's
(21:31):
a really funny distinction. Yeah, she's the most hetero woman
we've we've known and several generations. Wow, yeah, I you
know what I liked about the movie Election because it
was back then like where they still didn't like make
(21:53):
that many movies with like an unlikable female character. Like
I still get that note sometimes when I'm pitching stuff,
because like I love like monster female characters, and like
sometimes these people will have the gall to say, well,
what's gonna make her likable? And I'm like, why the
(22:14):
fund does she have to be likable? Like how why
are sign of movies about men they're like murderers or
like gamblers or like jewelry To respect her and be
interested by her, nobody fucking said you need to like it?
It's not easy, bitch, I know, but I I do
(22:34):
think that that thing about like trying women have to
be likable, like, no, they do not. I'm reading the
Tom Paratta just released the sequel to Election. Oh I
saw that. Tracy's like Tracy's forty now and I can't
and I'm reading it and I can't not read it
in Reese's voice. It's not like it's impossible, it's not. Yeah,
(22:59):
it's pretty good so far. But maybe all ready to
see what happened is Tracy? Yeah? Yeah, I do too.
I want to know too. Y Um. Okay, next question,
and these are important questions, so please do be candid. Um.
(23:20):
Would you ask sex with Ryan Philippi? Of course I
would have. I would have every kind of sex with
Ryan Philippe. Really, okay, yeah, oral missionary, just those two
probably Okay, Yeah, I got it, got it? Okay, good,
thank you for clearing that up. We come onto those
little tight little curls up there, right right, just take
(23:43):
a scoop in each my weird little hands nods. They
are like Ramen noodles. They're exactly like justin Timberlake in
the Instinct era. Yeah, I love it. Okay, Next question.
We do have to get to the bottom of all
of this, Amy, Please tell me. Are you legally blonde? Oh?
(24:09):
I'm legally strawberry blonde? You are strawberry blonde. I like
that about you. Thank you so much. It was yeah,
much more red when I was a child. Oh really, Well,
we're uncovering a lot here, It's true. Yeah, and I'm
so I'm only illegally straight up blonde when I do that.
(24:31):
Oh yeah, So the sun has kissed me. Oh yeah,
I love a kiss from the sun. Oh. We love
to get kissed by the sun together. Yeah, we got
to go to the beach. I just thought, I do
want degrees the next ten days. It's so hot. It's
so hot. It's so hot. Um, I have no idea
(24:52):
my natural hair color. Someone asked me that men love
to ask you that if you're blonde, they want to
try and take something away from you. And um, he
was like, so what's your natural your Italian right, what's
your natural hair color? I was like, I have no idea,
a bitch, I've been doing this ship for two thirds
of my life. You think I want to do this,
I don't. Why does it concern you? Yeah? I also
(25:14):
hate going to get my hair done. It I hate it.
I hate sitting there, takes hours, it costs hundreds of dollars.
The whole thing is sick. It's so pricey. I don't
but you were blonde as a child, right, So like
the questions, I know it's because men always want to
(25:35):
shatter the illusion. It's so funny too, Like I where
I'm from, which is like Orange County. It's like one
of the plastic surgery capitals, so it's a Los Angeles.
But like, you'll always hear men be like, oh, I
love a natural women. I hate when women get things done.
And then like all the women they like our Instagram
(25:56):
models where every single thing has been done. Yeah, those
guys too that are even like you don't need makeup,
Get the funk out of my bathroom. I'll see you
at dinner. Shut up, I do need makeup. I wish
(26:17):
I had some right now. In fact, Amy, this is important.
Have you ever considered law school, if so, specifically Harvard Law?
Follow up question, do you think l Wood's ultimately deserved
her earned station? I actually did consider law school, and
(26:40):
I did want to go to Harvard. I ultimately, uh,
probably wouldn't have had the grades or the motivation to
be a lawyer. I just like toward the campus and
I liked Cambridge, and so then I decided I needed
to go to Harvard. But guess what I didn't. Um,
I finished Berkeley and I got the funk out of there.
(27:02):
That was. That was it for my schooling, all done,
not using any of it. So thank god I didn't go. Yeah,
I think, oh Woo's l Woods, l Woods. Yeah, she
should have whatever she wants. You know what's crazy, though,
like you would have made a hell of a lawyer,
Like you would have made probably the best lawyer of
(27:22):
all time, because you are like the most detailed person
on earth. And also you hold your ground so hard,
like you are like unshakable, unmovable, Like I don't know
what two qualities could be better. And a lawyer you
need a lot of prep work, though that's not always
(27:43):
my strong I don't know. I prepped pretty well for
this podcast. Say, you're probably the most prepared person for
this podcast, even though it's not in your time frame
that you're even awake. So because it incredible, because it's
something I'm passionate about, I would see myself like if
I was like a defense attorney or something like just
(28:03):
having certain clients that I was just over, you know
what I mean, just like I don't care about winning
this case, Like I would phone it in on people
I just didn't like. And you can't really do that,
not in this justice system. No, I know. I always
think about public defenders like and um, criminal defense lawyers
(28:25):
like that has to be the most insane job, like spiritually,
they have to be so so zoomed out, like in
another dimension where they're like criminals make mistakes, you know
they Yeah, I know some criminal defense lawyers and they
well a lot of people are not guilty, so you
(28:46):
have to give everyone the same shot. But they'll definitely
be like I know this guy did it, and then
just becomes like a chess match where they're just like
interested in winning the game. I know. That's what's so
nuts and like law, laws and crime and how it
all intersects and what it means like ethically, because there
(29:08):
is like so much bias and injustice. But then like
you know, we need you can't just have murderers running
free murdering a million people. It's like it's so sketchy. Um, wow,
we really get sketchy. For sure. Sketchy is probably the
best words is sketch. Dude, it's sucking. I don't know
(29:31):
if it's to me it's yeah, but I don't think,
like I don't how. I don't know how you could
defend a murderer rapist, Like that's fucking gnarly on your soul. Yeah,
like seeing the family sitting there of like the VIC
I mean, that's just hard as hell. I don't know
(29:51):
how anyone does that job. I also don't know how
the homicide detectives do it, Like it's the things they
see day in and day out or gnarly, like their
quality of life can't be good, like their cortisol has
to just be spiked to one thousand every day. Yeah. Yeah,
they're having weird bowel movements at strange times and as
ulcers xmasis yeah, um yes, yes, but um we do
(30:20):
love tangents on this podcast. We like to go deep
into tangents and wormholes, So don't be afraid if we
get completely as subject. Okay, next question, Amy, in the
movie Sweethold Alabama, who would you have chosen Patrick Dempsey
or Josh Lucas. I want Josh Lucas to kill me.
(30:41):
Obviously obviously Lucas. Really it's not the easiest choice in
the world. Um. I just watched this movie again, just
a couple of weeks ago, and I still am a
little bit torn. I mean, Patrick Dempsey is just so fine.
But Josh, you know he's making He's blowing glass in
(31:02):
the sand somehow when lightning strikes, he knows where it's
gonna land to make his He's an artist, he's a
handy man. Yeah, yeah, I don't say an age. I
(31:23):
don't know how to fix um that much, so it
would be nice. But yeah, I taped my air conditioner
with the electrical tape and I said, if I ever
wanted a man, this would be the moment. On the
other hand, Patrick Dempsey isn't as much of like a
villain in that like choose between the hometown boy and
(31:43):
the yuppy way that a lot of those movies are like.
He's actually a pretty good guy. And he does take
her to Tiffany and let her choose whatever she wants.
So that's cute, but that's but that is the ultimate.
And I have always said this because The Notebook as
one of my favorite movies, because I am ultimately a pearhearted, romantic,
(32:04):
within sensitive, open, tragically open heart, and um, I have
always said that the reason that movie worked and the
movie the reason for the tension was they made the
other guy a sweetie instead of a villain, because then
the choice is too obvious, like when it is actually
(32:25):
a hard choice with like a very sweet, hot rich
man who adores you but just isn't quite right, then
you're like, oh my god, this is like the hardest
choice in the world. It is, and we have all
had to make those choices between a season. Our Lucas
is I don't know that I've ever been in that situation.
(32:45):
I'm serious, Sure you have a nice hometown hunk from
Orange County versus a big city hot shot. Yeah, I
don't think I've ever been in that situation between two
dead broke comedians. Yeah, no, open mic or host. Also
(33:14):
Reese Withers and Sweet Home Alabama is really awful. She's
like a Carrie Bradshaw level, just horrible character that shouldn't
have either of them. Honestly, they should be together. Lucas
and Dempsey should have just kissed at the end. Yeah, lightning,
but again, but again, I appreciated that she was basically
just acting like a man. She's like, I'm doing my shoot,
(33:37):
I'm pursuing my dreams, like you know all that, Like
I'm leaving behind this bullshit that's weighing me down. But
she's also annoying in classes, and it's like you cannot
like where you're from, you don't have to shoot on
the people that still live there, you know what I mean?
I don't I agree. I do think it can be
a natural impulse that ultimately people come around on. Sometimes
(34:00):
they start out that way. They were like I want
a whole new life. I want to hold different thing,
you know. Sure, sure? Um okay, So really ultimately married
her agent, Jim talk Amy, would you ever marry your agent?
(34:23):
She is hot, um, and she has a cute baby,
so maybe she's already married. But yeah, I don't see
why not. As you know, I am no um stranger
to professional entanglements in my relationships, so I've already practiced it. Yeah,
I mean, if you're getting me the work, let's get married. Whoa. Um.
(34:49):
That is sort of a world chattering answer that I love. Um.
That's a type of thing, that's the type of answer
that keeps people tuning into this podcast. Yeah, I don't
know that I would marry an agent. But also like
so when I go on hinge um anywhere from one
to two times a month, um, I see I see
(35:11):
so many agents on there, and I of course I've left,
and it's always like U T a comedy agent. Uh
ci a comedy agent, And I'm like, but don't go
on dates with these men, no, because I feel like
that would be weird. And but it's hard for me
because like I like Rosebud always like think it goes.
(35:34):
You're attracted to that man, aren't you? You're disgusting because
I like a very confident, intelligent, sort of go get
or fast talking man. You know. Yeah, I don't see
anything wrong with it. It's I think it's the best
of both worlds a little bit because it's like a
person who sort of understands what your job is, which
(35:56):
is weird because what what is it? What are you?
We're doing this? Yes, am you know? Um? But isn't
directly in your job? And right I think is it
would be a big step up from comedians. Now, I
agree with you. I agree with you. Something to consider,
(36:17):
something to consider, um okay? Amy Amy Amy hypothetically hypothetically. Yeah, No,
definitely trying to get out the game clawing, clawing, clawing, Amy.
Did you also think that the Ryan Philippie character Sebastian
(36:38):
Cool Intentions was gay like me? Follow up question is
Cool Intentions the single best movie of all time? Yes?
And yes, okay, you thought he was gay too? Because
I thought he was gay. I remember seeing it, but
like I didn't even know what gay was back then.
(37:00):
I'll see in the movie because like no one told us,
no no one, no one told us. I never met
in three or whatever. You didn't know, No, No, I
literally didn't, like, Noah gay. I knew one guy at
my high school who was gay who was not out.
I'm sure there were many more, but like in Orange County,
you remember that type. I need to get your parents on.
(37:21):
No know, my parents didn't know, That's what I'm saying.
Like it was they knew, they I know, but like
they didn't know when he gets you know, it was
quite sheltered early two thousands, nineties. I'm thankful I left
and got to meet the rest of the world. I
(37:44):
think it was implied. It's it kind of was implied.
I feel like that he was by or at least
like Kinky, because there is like a little bit of
a well, first of all, they say a lot of
gay slurs in that film, and that part. I need
to rewatch it because yeah, I know there's a lot
of that ship in those movies that back then, because yeah,
(38:05):
unfortunately it was a worse time, wildly entertaining and hot. God,
I because I haven't seen it in years and years
and years, but I remember being like, this is this
best movie I have ever in my life. A bunch
(38:26):
of us went to see it at UM Universal that
AMC like last year's sometime, and like me and Steve
and Julia and a few other people, and we were
the only ones in the theater laughing, like nobody else
there thought or knew that it was funny. And then
we just felt bad because we were just laughing the
(38:49):
whole time because it's fucking hilarious movie, and the rest
of the cinema I think felt that it was an
art film. Oh my god, it's just so good though.
It's just so so good, and I think it really
influenced like basically the whole um show Gossip Girl I
think is completely based on it, um like direct influence.
(39:13):
But God, I it. I don't know, maybe it informed
like my view of relationships and stuff going forward because
like I and maybe that's all of TV because they
can't have simple, healthy relationships because then there's no story
or interest or TV or television show. It's not good television.
But what do you call Roseanne? But I thought I
(39:37):
always thought, like I remember when I was young, like
in high school whatever, Like I thought that Blair Waldorf
and Chuck Bass were so that hot, like I wanted
them to work out together, and it of course was
like this deeply toxic thing. Oh my god. I always
wanted the good girl and the bad guy to work
(39:57):
out together, like um Pacy and Joey and um saying yeah,
and that's and then look how we've lived our lives.
Now we're on the man um kind of anyone named
Sebastian make it through this lifetime without committing evil? Do
you think? Mmmm? Probably uh Maniscalco and oh yeah, the
(40:24):
Crustacean from Little Mermaid, And probably that's it. I think
anybody else, any other Sebastians are going to be problematic. Wait,
it's so those were really two incredible ones. You popped
off right away immediately, you know, Sebastian Maniscalco. I of
course love him, you can to do s why Um,
(40:45):
but he's such like an aggressively masculine man. And then
like in his special he was saying how he gets
up with his wife with the baby for every feeding
he does with her, and I was like, he was like,
I do every single thing with her, and I was like,
that is incredible. And also the most believed him when
(41:08):
he didn't believe him. Oh my god, you're callable. Oh
my god, you didn't believe every feeding. You think Sebastians
getting up for every feeding? I don't think so every
fucking feed. I believed him when he's in town. He
has that type of intensity that he would do something
psycho like that. Maybe so maybe he's just really good husband.
(41:29):
I have that type of thing too, where I'm like,
if I say I'm going to do something, I absolutely
do it. I do not ever waver from it. And
then I and then I am confused. When someone else
says they're going to do something and they do not
follow through. I am literally utterly I don't understand it,
but it's very common. Yeah. Um, but I take my
(41:52):
word as set in stone concrete. Um, okay, Amy Amy Amy.
In Big Little Lies, Reese played Madeleine Martha Mackenzie. Have
you ever thought about becoming a three name person? And
I often find three name people to be doing a lot.
When I started comedy, I thought about it. Or well,
(42:14):
because there's some fucking lady in New York name Amy
Miller who was trying to just do it for a while,
and she well, she's not going to listen to this
another number one fan Amy. She caved. She went three names. Oh,
that's benevolent and lucky. And as made that happen, she
(42:38):
walked so I could run, you know, And I was
glad that I won because we kept getting tagged in
each other's ship and then she's putting videos up and stuff,
and it was like, girl, you're not gonna win this.
You gotta you gotta give it up. We're going you know,
you were going Amelia or you gotta add your fucking
middle name. But I thought, yes, in the beginning, Yeah,
(43:02):
Amy Selene Miller. I thought about it that I was
gonna say all that though that's it's just gnarly for comedy.
If you were like just a straight actress, you could
do that, but like for comedy in all these hosts,
and they're like, Amy, So I forgot your middle name
too much exactly, And also I don't. I don't know
it kind of worked out, I don't. Everyone in my
(43:24):
family just calls me by my full name, Amy Miller,
including the children, and most of my closest friends call
me Amy Miller like ex boyfriends. You don't. You don't
do that really? Now, I call you Amy. I've never
called you Amy Miller in my life. Yeah. Yeah, But
do you say Amy Silverberg? Mm hmm. No, that means
(43:47):
I won I don't call her. I call her Amy.
Also she calls large Amie and small Amy, because that
would be so hurtful. No, I've never done it in
my life. I don't call us old Amy and young Amy.
No one are done that either. Do you call smart
Amy and illiterate Amy? No, I've never done that in
my life. I would have no reason to do that.
(44:09):
It's very odd that you're even suggesting these improbable binaries
that would never happen. Do you call us big tit
Amy and tiny jugs Aimy? No? No, she also has
pretty good sized jukes. Um she does for the tiny
Winterer dog. Yeah, yea for being nineties six pounds. Um,
she looks like a pregnant pregnant winer dog. Um. Yes
(44:31):
so and the titties got it. Um. Yeah, I think
that's interesting. I did data three name person once. It
was a lot um. Okay, Um, you do introduce him
that way? Yeah? I had to. If you're like, here's
my boyfriend. No, no, I never did that. Actually, now
(44:52):
that you mentioned it, no, I admit that once. Do you,
in general, when you're introducing a friend say their last
name at all? I do? I? I right too? Why
um for the brand babe, Yeah, if you can believe it. Yeah,
(45:12):
it is funny that you bring that up about another
comedian named like because that happen to Anthony DeVito and
he had to like change his handle because there's like
another Anthony DeVito, which is just like wild, because that
is a very obscure name that's not like a normal
name like Chris Smith or something. Shane Torres had one too,
but the other guy lost and now his name is Torres.
(45:34):
He has also lived in Texas. He was like from
the exact same town. WHOA, that is crazy? Yeah, Shane
ultimately one, Wow, I wonder what that means metaphysically interesting. Um,
(45:57):
when Reese's husband got du i, as you so gleefully
mentioned to our crowd of listeners, when NES's husband got
as dui, and Rees started screaming, do you know who
I am? Why is it? Do you think that the
(46:17):
public forgave her so easily that it washed away so
quickly in a heartbeat, compared to so many others who
can somehow be just not escaped the shadow of one
wrong doing. Well, first of all, because Reese sat down
(46:38):
and apologized and she said, I said some crazy shit
because I was fucked up drunk, and I regret it,
and I'm sorry, and I'm sorry to everyone, my fans,
the police, police officer, to my husband. She just said sorry,
which truly nobody any ever does. I don't think not thoroughly.
(47:00):
People will be like, oh, you know, I regret my
you know whatever, They'll dance around it. But she was
just like sorry, and she's just so lovable. I mean,
she's America's sweetheart. How can you not forgive Reese Witherspoon.
She could steal my identity and take the seven out
(47:21):
of and just be like, sorry, I was drunk, and
I'm like Okay, yeah, well it is something to be said.
Like we have this culture in this country that I
do feel is like heavily entwined with internet culture where
we do not want to forgive people and we always
(47:42):
want to find the bad that people do. Um, which
is like also a mix with like accountability and progress
and going forward. But like I do feel like sometimes
it's like people don't want reform, Like sometimes people really
are so sorry, I like I want to you know, yes, well,
(48:05):
sometimes it can be easier to just like put someone
in that box and be like I'm done with you.
And because there's too many people to um care about
and follow and like too much media to watch. So
if you can cut out, like you know a certain
number of people moving forward, that really like helps your
decision making a little bit. But I can't you know,
(48:28):
Reese is not someone we were prepared to lose. Is
she a white lady? Yes? Of course of course that
plays a huge factor, and also why we forgave her
so quickly for her ridiculous behavior, and also why she
didn't get locked up. Um so I like Jesus Christ
threatening this cop um, But listen, she's an American citizen
(48:51):
and she's on American soil. God, when you said that,
I forgot that part of it. It really made me
laugh so hard. And I remember that morning when that
video came out and I was like, oh, poor Reese,
because she really did like such a fucking asshole. But
at the same time, my thing is like, when people
(49:12):
want to separate like nuance and this not nuance isn't
the right word. When people want to deny that every
single person on earth has behaved shitty, I'm like all
the PingER pointers. I'm like, I know you did something
shitty and yelled at someone on a bachelorette party. I
(49:32):
know you have done shitty things, because that's just part
of being human. Like even the best person has behaved
in a really shitty way more than a hundred times
in their life. And I have yelled at the police,
and I wish there was tape of it. That would
be fucking hilarious that at the beginning of your next
(49:53):
special Did you see after? Shortly after that, it was
like my favorite Bowen lip sync ever? Oh yes, Oh
Boonen's lip sync to the Resarress is one of the
more genius things I've ever seen. That was that was funny.
He I mean, he had such a run of those
lip syncs, like right before he popped off, and they
(50:15):
were just like you could not look away. They were
just like incredible. Yeah, that one is my favorite for sure.
I'm gonna have to rewatch it, like as soon as
we're done recording this promptly. Okay, Amy, Amy, Amy, are
you watching The Morning Show? And what do you think? Okay, so, yes,
(50:39):
it's going so slowly. I'm still in the first season
and this is maybe like the big exception to like
anything Reest does. I can just sip right through it
because it's just not very good. Oh my god, I
couldn't disagree more. The first season is not good, but
I'm gonna try again. I'm gonna try again. Um. I
(50:59):
also out rid of my Apple TV Plus for a while,
but then I got it back to watch. Um it
is the more reasonably priced streamers compared to all these
other motherfucker's with high quality content I'm watching. I am
watching like three different shows on Apple TV right now.
It's gotten a lot better and you can always get
(51:20):
a free trial through your phone company usually. Wait, but
I love The Morning Show, like even what like in
the beginning well, I couldn't even relate to not being
able to like finish it immediately, I binge the funk
out of it. I couldn't stop. I was so riveted
because I do like the story about how it like
Steve Correll is like a thinly veiled Matt Lower, and
(51:43):
I think that's so interesting them exploring it through all
the you seeing it, exploring all that, through all the
different perspectives, and all the balancing it happened from like
a woman, a woman in that like high, highly paid,
highly sought after position, how that affects her, what's going
I just found the whole thing interesting, and the sheer
(52:03):
star power of all those actors that are like straight
fucking movie stars, like I couldn't look away. True, Okay,
I'll try it again. I'll try it again. Was legiticile too.
I thought some of the writing around Steve Correll's me
too stuff was just really weird. It was, I agree,
but I thought he was so interesting, supposed to be
(52:25):
more of a sympathetic character than I think he was
to me, And that made it hard because I was like,
I know, what you're trying to do, Morning Show is
to show me all the sides and tell me like, oh,
this isn't a bad guy, but that's not my bag.
I think it. I think it changes if you go forward,
all right, Yeah, I think that that specifically changes. But again,
(52:46):
I love to watch TV shows, Blair, I love to
watch TV shows. I don't think anyone loves Stev more
than me. Coming off a week of bed rest, I
really finished everything on there, like I have to read
a book now because I'm honestly waiting for new episodes
to come out at this point. Um, oh no, I
actually have to go back to my life unfortunately. But
(53:07):
um yeah, I love the Morning Show. It's so riveting.
I love it all. It can't wait to come back. Um.
I usually agree on show, so I'll give it in
another shot. Yeah, um okay, So Amy Amy Amy Reese's
kids are exact clones of her and Ryan. Uh question,
(53:29):
do you also want to have any clone kids? If
I could be guaranteed that my kid would be exactly
like me, then I would have one, really, but currently
not planning to. Um take the gamble on the many
different kinds of human that I could have. Oh sure,
(53:50):
I mean it's endless, honestly, Yeah, it's too scary, too
many options for me, So that's a no. Um, but
I think it would be cool to have a little clone.
My sister kind of has a clone. My niece is
just like herpet, but she's just like she's really bad,
and so we're like ha ha ha, you got yourself
(54:11):
and then they just fight all the time. How many
nieces and nephews you have? I have two nieces and
a nephew. My niphews like old? Now yeah, how old?
Oh wow? What's that? No, it's really weird. It's really
really weird, something specifically strange. And this is this I'm
sure like some internalized misogyny here about seeing like a
(54:36):
baby go to like a man, like weirder than because
well because life kind of beats like a lot of
the softness out of them as they try to become
like I'm a dude, you know, and then you're like, oh,
remember our sweet little baby. But like girls more often
(54:57):
like get to keep a lot of that sensitivity softness. Um,
you hope, yeah, you hope. Yeah. I mean you also
want them to be tough and fucking beat as the
girls are. We keep them scary as well. But but yeah,
it's really weird, like just this dude. He was just like,
(55:20):
you know, just a sweet little baby. Oh my god,
I love my niece. I have five nieces and nephews
under the age of four, and um, I'm so lucky.
I just love them so much. There was a period
of time just want to sit in a pile of them,
you know. Yeah, like they just like climb on you
and like bro shot at you, and like they're just
(55:42):
so cute and they just want to show you ship
all the time. They want your attention so bad, it's
so cute. Like there was a period I think when
I was in New York and there's something about living
in New York not something like everything about New York
where time just stands still and everyone's just like chasing
the bag, where like I was like, I don't know
if I want to have kids. And then when I
(56:02):
got back to California and I was around my family
and like the pace of life is much slower, I
was like, Oh, I definitely want kids. I was just
like in New York, I didn't didn't make sense. And
you're into their small area, compact area, You're like, where
would they sleep? Yeah, And when the kids you hang
out with all your siblings kids, they're just like I
(56:23):
don't know, there's just this crazy closeness and and then
you can see like, okay, they're doing okay in this family,
so maybe I could do it too. But they're so
cute and they just love you unconditionally, and they're like,
don't know what kind of twisted ship you've done yet.
So again, all people on earth have done twisted ship. Um, yeah,
(56:45):
you especially well look if you read it sick. I
don't like the sweetest person. Um, I really am. Um.
I know I wish no ill on anyone, even evil people. Um,
but like yeah, you you watch any church documentary and
you see that's true. Like I'm it's like, okay, yeah,
(57:08):
I'm sure these evil wanted to be good. But um, anyways,
whoa okay? Um against my religion? Oh yeah? And what
religion is that? The Churchill Reach Reach Reach Witherspoon, that's
the church I belong to to. That So we did
not speak in the morning. It's so merassing. I'm dead, No,
(57:32):
are you kidding? I've never or heard anyone more articulate
in my life than this moment. Um, I know, I
that is so crazy that we both belong to the
Church of Reese Witherspoon. It's uh, the congregation is strong.
It's very white. Um, but we have a good time.
(57:53):
You know, we make clothes. Did you like the show
the limited series? Reese Argo loves a limited series, Little
Fires Everywhere. Oh, I loved it. I loved it. I
really zipped right through that one. I just thought it
was so good. I thought it was okay. I read
(58:15):
the book first, which is always the problem. Yeah, I
didn't read. I don't read. I feel like you read
a lot. No, I do read a lot. Um. I
did not read that one, so maybe that is why.
But I thought it was a pretty entertaining little television show.
I loved Big Little Lies, Oh my god. Oh sure.
I still listen to that song all the time. Yeah,
(58:40):
and you're like, oh this is scary. It's that big
and Marin and yeah it's so creepy. Oh man, that
was a good time. Yeah that was again. Yeah was it?
Were we in Quarantine? When the second season of that
show came out, it was like, where are they going
to go with this? Because how do they It was like,
(59:00):
how are they going to go anywhere? After that finale?
But we got it when we needed it so much.
Like we were just thirsty for it, you know, it
is funny. I do feel like the shows that were
during the first year and a half of Quarantine will
are burned into us because it was like there was
the world stopped, so that's all there was where it
(59:22):
was like a good show, like Hit a hundred times harder. Absolutely, Yeah,
and a lot of episodes of Mr. Bean I can't.
I can't relate to that. Oh, it's really funny. Did
you watch The Outsider like that was like right at
the beginning, like I think right before Quarantine or in
(59:45):
this very first month of Quarantine. Yes, that was a
solo show that I watched because then I feel also
like couples people had, you know, we all had to
have our together shows and then also like our Okay,
you're in bad and this is my show time and
The Outsider wasn't my show. Yeah, you know what just
(01:00:07):
felt like a little treat. That was like I think
the scariest show I've ever seen, which is hard to
do with like a supernatural element to be actually scared
of that. But um Ben Mendelssohn, I think his name
was so good. Also, like I would never watch a
show like that, and then Rosebud made me because she's
(01:00:30):
Is it Stephen King? I think it was Stephen King
because she's sick and loves scary shit, and that she
made you watch it and you made me watch it?
Is that true? Yeah? The Rosebud Reign of Terror is
a long line. That's true because I now watch a
lot more thriller ship than I used to. I don't
watch horror because I have no need for that, but
(01:00:53):
I do like a lot of British thrillers and there's
so many on Netflix where it's just like, oh, how
did this person die? And how are all these people intertwined?
Maybe this sassy, brassy detective lady needs to come figure
it out. You gotta send me some wrecks. I will.
I definitely will because now I'm a super into the
(01:01:14):
mysteries and I'm funny that to bring this up, have
you heard of Surface on Apple TV? Because it's produced
by um Ruce Weatherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, And I
didn't know that was the name of her cup of
course it is. Yeah, absolutely, Hello Sunshine. But I'm gonna
guessed it. I guess. Yeah. That's what I say to
(01:01:36):
her every morning when I wake up and think of race. Um,
I haven't watched it, but add it to my list.
It is so good. I just started it on my
bed rest and I am absolutely frothing for the next episode.
It's so freaking good. Holy sh it. Okay, um yeah,
Estherspoon also has a clothing line called Draper James, like,
(01:02:00):
because you know, every celebrity woman, white woman has a
line where the second word is James. Yeah, it's it's
not bad though, it's pretty cute. She's got some cute stuff.
I haven't seen any of it. I imagine it is
like cute and simple, but that is the move, like
(01:02:20):
because you know, we're always trying as to build wealth, Like,
if you're a celebrity, you gotta get a line of
clothes because it's just passive income staples. And I feel
like now current day Reese, anytime we see her, she
was just wearing like a baby blue French French tucked
(01:02:42):
collared shirt. Oh yes, white pants and like nothing else
from LowFERs, maybe a half low fur whatever, you know,
a slide. She's going back to her New Orleans roots. Yeah,
I know it's a cute look. I always tempted to
buy um a dripper, James item Yester, what was it
just in the in the research, But I don't know.
(01:03:07):
I think it's I think it's probably priced a little
bit higher than is its quality. Okay, sure, sure, as
everything is on earth. And so I was just thinking,
And this isn't Lucien's question, This is my question. What
do you think Reese's drink of choices? Oh, it's like
(01:03:28):
a sweet tea. Maybe splash a bourbon in it, yeah, booze.
You know, I feel like in the d I video
or maybe in her in her apology, she says what
she was drinking margarite? Does? Was it Margarite does? It
might have been? It was definitely want like like it
sounds like they stuck to one thing for the night.
(01:03:48):
You know, those nights can really go off the rails,
sometimes even more than mixing. Like if you're just like
all we have were Margarita? Does we had nine? Then
you're like, how did I get so drunk? I have
to be honest at this point in my life. I
don't know if it's because I have cleansed my spirit
so deeply, but if I have one Margarita, I am
(01:04:10):
in a different stratosphere, which is so bizarre considering that
I used to just be a tank when I was younger. Yeah,
you get drunk pretty fast, I mean scary fast, like
half a glass of wine. Yeah, it's pretty funny to
watch though. Wait, what I feel like, I know your
drink of choice. I know you like margharita. What is
(01:04:33):
your other one? You like Margarita's? Are That's something I
get when I'm going out with a friend for a
sizzling fahita platter. Oh my god, I love a sizzling
fahita platter. They're so good. Um, but that's not my
I usually will get like a whiskey soda. That's what
it is, Okay, wine chardonnay. Like when we're at the
(01:04:55):
comedy store, I feel like you get a whiskey soda. Yeah, yeah,
because there's a darkness about that place. It's brooding. You
have to drink brown liquors there or it doesn't feel right.
You know what I get at the comedy store? What
I get a white wine or I get a greyhound
(01:05:17):
That sounds good. I have done white wine there because um,
he really fills them up to the tippy top of
the cup and then you're like it's two glasses. It's
two glasses. It's yeah, and um, it is funny because
I am not a paid regular at the store. I
love that place so deeply, like it's my favorite place
to perform, honestly. But when I do go there and
(01:05:40):
it's worth it, I'm saying it's worth it. I'm prefacing
it's worth it. But I do pay for fifteen dollar
parking and then I'll pay for a fifteen dollar glass
of wine. I'm basically paying thirty dollars to perform. Yeah, yeah,
park illegally a lot of time and just st ticket
a year. Oh, just like in neighborhood parking, and then
(01:06:00):
just like hope for the best. But you know, once
in a while they get you and then you're like, okay,
well I didn't pay the other twenty times, so I'm
still out of it. That's actually really smart. Drink costs. Yeah,
we'll get there, you know, we'll be in that back
bar and no time blare me and you. I think
(01:06:22):
that's true, honestly, I think I think so too. Um,
I wish, I like, I hope at that point also
we will get get to be booked on the same
show so we could have a fun time I know
we're gonna have most fun time. Oh yeah, of course
until our big falling out. Oh my god, why would
you ever say that I was just testing you? Oh
(01:06:43):
my god. I don't have falling out because you know why,
Because I don't choose people that are unsafe. You fall up,
That's true. Yeah, I'm very specific about who I let
in in my inner circle because I can tell who is. Um.
Difference is difficult, not romantic partners. No, I'm doing better, Amy.
(01:07:06):
You need to relate. You need to relate to me
as my highest, highest version of myself. Yeah, because so
I'm trying, honey him not high, got it? Sure? Sure, sure, Um.
I do have to ask this question, which is an
(01:07:28):
interesting timing. According to Lucian Whiggles Reese one the Academy
Award for Best Actors for playing June Carter Cash in
the musical biopic Walk the Mind. Have you also dated
an alcoholic? Have I? Oh boy, alcoholics and musicians combined
(01:07:58):
together sometimes times drummers, country music punks. Oh yeah, drug addicts,
drug dealers, bartenders, um, restaurant bartenders. Yeah, of course, cod heads.
(01:08:18):
I think this means you're gonna get an Academy award.
I think it means that the next man will be
my Academy award. Nice separate that you. I actually am
talking about a real Atademy award and then the man
a gold Man, Man of gold. Yeah. I mean, it's
(01:08:40):
just unfortunate that in the arts and anything in the
arts there just happens to be a lot of uh,
substance people. Sure, but I'm also a degenerate, So like,
who am I saying, uh, you need to get your
life together too? Absolutely? No, one, yes, and no, I
don't know. Um any ways, God, this was too fun,
(01:09:02):
Like I really don't want it to end. That's how
I feel about every episode of my Dear Own Wilson podcast.
It's just too that's good. I'm glad you like it.
Um Wait, you're not saying you liked it too, which
is out of odd. I like it, but of course
I'm gonna like it. I'm here with you. That's fun.
We're talking about our virtual love. Enjoying your own podcast.
(01:09:27):
It just makes me happy. Oh yeah, I thank you.
I appreciate that. It's good to us your friends, supporting friends,
women supporting women. Re supports women too. I know she does,
and she does. She does so much good work. It's insane.
I couldn't even get into the charity chunk, but it's expensive.
Don't you think when we're ritual, like really be into
(01:09:47):
charity too. I think I really see that for us. Um, yeah,
I would hope, so at least like chair some boards,
chair some boards. Yeah. Okay, Well, we do like to
do a thing at the end of our own podcast,
me and the whole team, all the huge team and um.
It's called fan on the Street on the Street Street
(01:10:19):
and it's basically where you share maybe your favorite uh
celebrity anecdote run in or surprising one, just a fun
one for our guests audience. Mm hmm. Well, oh man,
I feel like they're all like information that I shouldn't
share publicly. Okay, well you don't have to, only if
(01:10:40):
it's a fun um, you know, harmless. I mean, I
will say when I when I first moved to l
a um, and I was in the car with Adam
and we were like just roasting this dude for no reason.
I have to stop, like, and he was like, look
(01:11:01):
at that Brad Garrett looking motherfucker. Then it was just
Brad Garrett and then we were like, oh, we live
in l A. Now, Oh yeah, that's crazy, and have
the people that look like so and so. Motherfucker just
is that motherfucker and it's so funny. Brad sure has
had a resurgence of his career. He has. Yeah, he's
(01:11:21):
doing good. And he owns a comedy club, so that's nice. Yeah.
Have you ever performed there? Nope, not yet, but I
would love to. If you're listening, Brad, yeah, he's probably
listening to this. Who isn't listening to this? Honestly, I
feel like so many of my other celebrity runnings have
just been sorted or you know, they said some crazy ship,
(01:11:42):
Oh wow, okay, I tried to have a threesome with
me or something. Hype, my god, they're incredible. Um what
that was? All right? Amy, Well, just thank you so
much for coming on. I had the time of my
goddamn life. I'll love you and all to you. Thanks
for getting nove early. Bye.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Dear Old Wilson Podcast. God,
I'm just having the best time with this podcast. I
never even knew that what I was missing in my
life was a podcast of all things. It's crazy and
the only one in the world with the podcast. I
thought podcast were just for like weird white comedy guys
that were mad, But it turns out there for everyone.
(00:25):
Thank you guys for listening. I missed you since I
talked to you last week. God, we have such a
good episode for you. Today we have Amy Miller on
She just um came out with a Comedy Central special
UM called hand Mouth So funny. Look it up on YouTube.
You won't regret it. She's hilarious. She tours all over
the country a dear friend of mine, and God her
(00:47):
her letter and this episode is so good. I'm just
so excited for you to hear about it. Another thing
I really really want to tell you is that I
will be doing an hour of stand end up comedy
in Los Angeles on Wednesday, September seven, UM at Dynasty
Typewriter at seven thirty pm. Ron Funches will also be performing,
(01:11):
and Um, I'm going to be donating all of the
proceeds to keep our clinics for abortion, healthcare and rights,
and I think it's just such a great cause and
if you would join me, it would mean so much
to me to support. And I think you'd have a
lot of fun, you know, kill two birds with one stone,
have fun watching comedy, and also support a really great cast.
(01:35):
So I would love to beck in all my um
Blair Bears and dearro and Wilson heads to come out.
It would mean so much to me. It makes me
so happy to see you guys there. And also I
would like to announce a new feature on this podcast. Okay,
so you know you guys know how at the end
of every episode, I do a UM Fan on the
(01:58):
Street segment where I have our guest UM talk about
like a fun celebrity anecdote story. Well, the original tent
intent of that segment was for you guys to write
in with your celebrity fan on the Street stories of
you running into celebrity, good or bad, fun, horrifying, whatever
(02:18):
it is. I want to hear it, so right in
to this email, Dear Owen Wilson pod at gmail dot com,
and I'm so excited to hear your stories. And I'm
gonna read one every week the best one, so send
those into me. Okay, I want to get to know
my listeners better. We're gonna have fun. We're gonna have fun.
And I also want to thank um all of you
(02:41):
who have left reviews. I read every single one and
the people that have messaged me. It makes me so happy.
I do have to um read this one review because
I want this person to make sure they are heard
and seen because it was an incredible review. Skip ahead
because this is kind of long. You don't want to
hear it, but I do find it really entertaining. Honestly,
(03:03):
this person is a good writer, even if they are
mistaken about a few things. Okay, the title is nice
Try Wiggles five star because obviously and it's by d Lavalier.
It says I'm writing this review one to recognize Blair
Saki's contributions to comedy in existence at large. Okay, love it,
(03:24):
Thank you, wow, thank you to to reveal self proclaimed
private investigator in quotes? Can you imagine Lucien Wiggles for
what he really is? A two bit con man um?
Excuse me? How dare you say that about Lucian wiggles,
My dearest and nearest, my private detective, my family. This
person goes on to say, in early August of California
(03:47):
based comic Blair Saki was mysteriously stricken with illness a
kidney infection prior to her shows in two of history's
most highly respected and influential cities, Minneapolis and Chicago. Even Suki,
known for her herculean ability to overcome adversity, True, unfortunately
succumbed to her ailments. True. Again, to a lay person's
(04:08):
untrained eye, it was a simple, open and shut case. However,
to a true private investigator, the scene was filthy with fingerprints,
bread crumbs, and several half crushed cans of mountain dew.
This person really knows me and Lucian. The whole thing stunk,
and that cretaceous stink stunk of craw dads, particularly of
the current river variety. Oh my god, he remembers that
(04:30):
I met Lucian in the Corn River fishing for craw dads.
This is crazy, Needless to say the Fox Fox detective
he's calling my private detective. Foe. Devious plan did successfully
cancel the Minneapolis and Chicago shows, although it ultimately failed
to stop Saki from repeatedly achieving comic excellent on her
recurring podcast at thear Owen Wilson The Sunburned Wiggles could
(04:54):
burden Sack with fatigue and body aches. The lawn chair
dwelling fake p I couldn't stop you see a volleyball
on court executioner from revealing to her audience long hidden
universal truths, from achieving the shrewdest techniques known in investigative
journalism and interviewing, and from empowering her audience and interviewees
(05:14):
with the truest form of compassion. Ever, Saki is a
prose pro and it shows. Okay, I'm really liking where
this is going. If Owen Wilson never formally recognized this
cosmically acclaimed podcast, it's likely because he didn't read Debbie
Moore's text, or because he was sabotaged by the aforementioned
Lucien Wiggles. Why does this guy hate Lucian Wiggles? I
wonder if you've never listened to this podcast, cancer your
(05:36):
plans and withdraw your savings. Wow, wow, that is those
are high instructions. It's signed to invest both your time
and money into dear own Wilson, you won't regret it,
and neither will anyone with whom you canceled plans, or
or anyone who depends on you financially. Just remember this
one thing. Don't trust the sloppy sleuth known as Lucian
Wiggles unless his advice on where to find the best
(05:58):
deals on Mountain Dew. He's not here to help you,
and frankly, I don't think he's here to help Blair either. Okay,
that took a sinister turn. I do appreciate this man's
concern um, but I cannot have anyone disparage my guy,
Lucian Wiggles. I mean, I wouldn't even be able to
get through one interview with all his exhausted without his
(06:19):
exhaustive investigative reporting. I mean, I have this well, I
owe this whole podcast to him. I owe my entire
life to Lucian Wiggles. But nevertheless, I do appreciate this
very well thought out, very well written review, and honestly,
that is the gold standard of reviews. I've never received
a review like that. And it was a ride, it
was a journey, it was literary, it was incredible. Um,
(06:43):
But do not forget that I am Italian, which means
that I am extremely loyal to my loved one. So
please never call Lucian Wiggles a photo detective again. Um,
just because he likes to stay out of the limelight,
he's not really into social media culture doesn't mean that
he does not exist. Okay, remember that that's a life truth. Anyways,
you guys, if you're still listening at this point, oh
my god, this is like a Mark Marin intro. I
(07:05):
just want to thank you again. I love you. Write me,
tell me what's going on, Tell me how you like
the episode, ask me questions DM me. Um, you know,
tell a friend if you like the episode. That's the
best way to get the word out. Share it, maybe
throw an Instagram story up. That's incredible support. I always
appreciate that so much. Um and yeah, tell me how
(07:26):
you're doing. I love this thing we're building. Leave me
a review. You don't have to write a novel like
that guy, but you could if you want to, if
you have extra time on your hands. Okay, make sure
you come out September seven. Enjoy this episode, enjoy your week.
Find some joy, no matter what hell fire is going on,
find a little piece of joy. For you. Um, I
(07:47):
love you guys so much. God bless enjoy this episode
with Amy Miller. All right, everyone, welcome back to the
Dear Owen Wilson Podcast. I'm your host, Blair Sacky, back
(08:10):
here with another luscious episode. While it is an exciting time,
we have an exciting guest. You may know her from
her Comedy Central special ham Mouth just came out a
couple of months ago, incredible special. I was actually there
in the audience, laughing my tail off, laughing my ass off,
(08:34):
having the time of my life, just really laughing, ripped, roaring,
enjoying my friend on the stage, enjoying my friend, tearing
up the stage, sending fire to the stage. Um, her
name is Amy Miller. Oh, good morning. It's all true.
(09:01):
You were there clapping, hortive, hollering. Yeah, oh yeah, whalen, whalen, whalen.
But you know it was all as you say, It
was all true. Because if there's anything I cannot do,
it's fake laugh because it's not in my integrity. I know,
(09:23):
as an Italian. Yeah yeah, it's an Italian. You're right.
How are you doing? I'm pretty good, Blair, you know, yeah, yeah,
I do know. I know this is a good ninety
minutes prior to my customary wake up time. Really surprised
(09:47):
when I saw ten thirty. I assumed you would cancel.
I was like, that doesn't seem right, but um, that's
what they asked me for, so I like that. Um, well,
we have like some an exciting episode because you know
the person you're reading that you chose is an unexpected choice.
(10:09):
I really wouldn't assume you would pick. But when Lucien
was going through with you know who Lucien is, right
of course. Yeah, yeah, my private investigator. Um, when he
was showing me all the extensive research and all of
her filmography, it was pretty stunnying her career. Anyways, I
will I'm I'm giving away too much. Well, why don't
(10:30):
we hop into the letter? Why don't you read your letter? Amy? Okay,
let's do it. Um. I love to surprise you. So
this is great news. I didn't want to do something expected,
so you never know. Okay, Hello Reese, I miss you.
(10:51):
Free Sweatherspoon, Free Sweatherspoon. It's hard to believe how long
we've just been growing up together, side by side, for
virtually mirroring each other's exact lives. Starting out as these
cherubic young girls in church until now just two tastemakers, performers, mentors,
(11:14):
fully grown into these beautiful, charming women. Oh now, I
know we're a few years apart, and I think that's
really cool, because anytime I feel old in Hollywood, I think, hey,
Reese Witherspoon is even older than me, if you can
believe it. Now, I know your name is really Laura
Gene And if I were your parents, I personally might
(11:37):
have called you LJ because like, how fucking cute would
that be if you look like you and you and
you went by l J. But thirteen year old dreamer
that you were, you picked a name, just picked a name,
and it was Reese. We gotta respect it. Such gumption
on our sweet little recy cup. That's what I call you. Um.
(12:00):
Around that same time, I also decided I wanted to
be called Amelia, So yeah, just destined for stardom. I
knew the name Amy just wouldn't be enough. And that's
probably how you felt about being called LJ. Um. One
of us in the sixth grade performed a trampoline dance
routine to the Dolly parton song nine five for the
(12:23):
school talent show. It was not me, but that's only
because my Christian school did not allow secular music. I did, however,
play a boy in the Christmas play Amazing, I mean same,
just it just feels like only yesterday that you exploded
into my life. And Man in the Moon, the movie
(12:45):
where you fuck the older kid who gets ate up
by a tractor. That was either Jeremy or Jason London,
and I never remember which one, but hopefully the one
who's not currently all whacked out on drugs. Man in
the Moon, I Danny's feelings were literally my feelings. I
projected Danny's romance for Court onto every teenage boy at church,
(13:08):
her words constantly ringing in my ears? Did you ever
love somebody so much? And made just sick? And when
two people really care about each other, they try to
understand things even when it's hard. I was so sad
when Court got ate up by that tractor. And I
(13:30):
lived in a city, so the risk of a boy
that I loved being eaten up by a tractor was
pretty slim, but I still would fantasize about it. Boys
I knew were honestly more likely to be killed by
gang violence, which is really sad. It's just round. And
just around the time you were leaving your cheerleading scholarship
at Stanford to pursue acting, I started college at UC Berkeley,
(13:53):
your rival school, to study sociology and work at a
video store. I mean the similarities between us are true,
the endless okay okay Reese and what happened after nine eleven?
What did Lauren Michaels, the king of all entertainment, feel
that our grieving country and the world needed after this
(14:14):
horrific event? For SNLS first episode back after nine eleven,
Riese Witherspoon, of course, our human duve, our goose down
angel writing our spirits. Oh and where were you after
Katrina in the water helping the children? True? Where was Oprah?
(14:35):
Where was Julia Roberts? I don't know, just in their
mansions counting their fucking money. It really disgusted me, frankly
to even think about how little the rest of them give. Um.
I I would love to talk about all your movies,
but you know what you've done. Um. The crazy thing is,
sometimes I feel like you've been in two movies when
(14:56):
it's truly more like forty, and it seems like more
because every single one of them is good. Um, okay,
so Freeway where you wore that Chola makeup, riveting, fear, pleasant,
vellical intentions, I mean the classics. Tracy Flick in election
(15:18):
made me want to grow up to be a bossy
type a slut. And well here we are, lj Um,
you sucked all my boyfriends, all of them, Ruffalo, Phoenix, Lucas,
Toby McGuire, Patrick Dempsey, Mark Wallber, Paul Rudd, Chris Pine,
(15:38):
Tom Hardy Owen and Luke and Jesus Christ. Mark Wahlberg
is so fucking hot in the movie Fear. Um, we
need to all just rewatch And thank you so much,
by the way for setting me on that path of
just going after unhinged bad boys for decades. I don't
regret a single thing. Perhaps the one major difference between us,
(16:04):
Reese is that you, I apparently have only ever been
with white men. And it's an interesting choice, but it's
your choice. Um, not the same. And then Reese, this
is so long it's almost ober. I never wanted to Reese.
(16:25):
The fact that you have the fucking goal to make
a move, a bold move to television and streaming the
impact of this move cannot be understated. Anybody tell me
another actor on the planet that will guarantee I will
watch a TV show. You know how little time I have? Um, okay,
(16:47):
you could get like a six am slot on Fox News,
and I am tuning in. I'm getting up and tuning in.
Your talent. Your charisma truly knows no bounds. And there
used to be a time when movie star or movie
stars and TV stars were TV stars, and you surpassed
both mediums while also perfecting TikTok, just like me, honestly.
(17:10):
But you know, the road to legendary status can get bumpy, Reese.
And yes, we have both found ourselves in a little
bit of a pickle in situations where we needed to
drunkenly scream at police officers, as is our duty as
chardonnay enthusiasts and American white women. Reese, when I say that,
(17:33):
when you asked that cop if he knew who you were,
my spine was as chilled as my wine. Because you're right,
what kind of godless, backwoods, fucking hill billy kid killer
doesn't know fucking Reese Witherspoon, Whitney Caesar like he hadn't
been just jerking off to four Christmas is every December. Okay, unbelievable,
(17:58):
but it was really when you stood up to that
cop and you said, I'm a U. S. Citizen and
I'm allowed to stand on American ground and ask any
question I want to ask. I'm an American citizen. That's
when I knew you're not just my president, my angel,
my muse, honestly me, You're me. You're me Buy and Race.
(18:25):
You both love to read. We both loved the Dolli parton.
We've both worked with victims of domestic abuse. We both
have beautiful singing voices. We both make our boyfriend drive
if we've both been drinking, no matter how drunk he
might also be, and we're both American citizens. Reese from
(18:46):
the USA, I just want to say thank you, Reese Witherspoon,
my Bayou Barbie. I hope soon we can get together
and maybe make some biscuits and we organize our closets.
I love you and care about you so much. And
when two people really care about each other, they try
to understand things even when it's hard. Love Amy Miller,
(19:13):
Oh my god, is it too long? No, it could
never be too long. I enjoyed every little morphsel I
sucked it up. I sucked it all up, like a
last bitut of lemonade on a scorching day. It was
so good, maybe maybe even the most thorough letter we've
(19:36):
ever had on the show. Your bellies full? What my
belly is full? Bitch? Incredible? Oh my god, you left
no stone unturned, incredible, incredible, Amy, The passion, the passion
was just leaping off the page. It's real. I love Reese. Yeah,
I love Reese too, And honestly, you made me through
(20:00):
this reconnect with my love for her. God, I can't
just for you, but for Lucian and for everyone listening. Yeah, no,
thank you. I I so appreciate that this has been
a long time coming. I guess we should just get
into it. Amy, I you did bring this up, and
(20:22):
you did reference it. I didn't know that you were
maybe going to But I am, of course speaking about
the movie election. Um, how would you say that Tracy
Flick influenced your adulthood? Tracy really just um taught me
to be cut throat. Yeah, whatever, it takes the claw
(20:45):
to the top. You have to fuck a teacher. I
don't condone. Thank you for the disclaimer, but she's a
senior in the movie, so we can reasonably assume she
might be um. Just the outfits, the hair, the general
approach to her peers. I mean, there's no limit to
(21:10):
the ways that not just Tracy Flick, but also Tammy
Metzler really influenced me in that movie. But let's not
get off Reese. Sure, Sure, who's truly Also, I think
Reese might be our straightest actor. That's so funny. That's
(21:31):
a really funny distinction. Yeah, she's the most hetero woman
we've we've known and several generations. Wow, yeah, I you
know what I liked about the movie Election because it
was back then like where they still didn't like make
(21:53):
that many movies with like an unlikable female character. Like
I still get that note sometimes when I'm pitching stuff,
because like I love like monster female characters, and like
sometimes these people will have the gall to say, well,
what's gonna make her likable? And I'm like, why the
(22:14):
fund does she have to be likable? Like how why
are sign of movies about men they're like murderers or
like gamblers or like jewelry To respect her and be
interested by her, nobody fucking said you need to like it?
It's not easy, bitch, I know, but I I do
(22:34):
think that that thing about like trying women have to
be likable, like, no, they do not. I'm reading the
Tom Paratta just released the sequel to Election. Oh I
saw that. Tracy's like Tracy's forty now and I can't
and I'm reading it and I can't not read it
in Reese's voice. It's not like it's impossible, it's not. Yeah,
(22:59):
it's pretty good so far. But maybe all ready to
see what happened is Tracy? Yeah? Yeah, I do too.
I want to know too. Y Um. Okay, next question,
and these are important questions, so please do be candid. Um.
(23:20):
Would you ask sex with Ryan Philippi? Of course I
would have. I would have every kind of sex with
Ryan Philippe. Really, okay, yeah, oral missionary, just those two
probably Okay, Yeah, I got it, got it? Okay, good,
thank you for clearing that up. We come onto those
little tight little curls up there, right right, just take
(23:43):
a scoop in each my weird little hands nods. They
are like Ramen noodles. They're exactly like justin Timberlake in
the Instinct era. Yeah, I love it. Okay, Next question.
We do have to get to the bottom of all
of this, Amy, Please tell me. Are you legally blonde? Oh?
(24:09):
I'm legally strawberry blonde? You are strawberry blonde. I like
that about you. Thank you so much. It was yeah,
much more red when I was a child. Oh really, Well,
we're uncovering a lot here, It's true. Yeah, and I'm
so I'm only illegally straight up blonde when I do that.
(24:31):
Oh yeah, So the sun has kissed me. Oh yeah,
I love a kiss from the sun. Oh. We love
to get kissed by the sun together. Yeah, we got
to go to the beach. I just thought, I do
want degrees the next ten days. It's so hot. It's
so hot. It's so hot. Um, I have no idea
(24:52):
my natural hair color. Someone asked me that men love
to ask you that if you're blonde, they want to
try and take something away from you. And um, he
was like, so what's your natural your Italian right, what's
your natural hair color? I was like, I have no idea,
a bitch, I've been doing this ship for two thirds
of my life. You think I want to do this,
I don't. Why does it concern you? Yeah? I also
(25:14):
hate going to get my hair done. It I hate it.
I hate sitting there, takes hours, it costs hundreds of dollars.
The whole thing is sick. It's so pricey. I don't
but you were blonde as a child, right, So like
the questions, I know it's because men always want to
(25:35):
shatter the illusion. It's so funny too, Like I where
I'm from, which is like Orange County. It's like one
of the plastic surgery capitals, so it's a Los Angeles.
But like, you'll always hear men be like, oh, I
love a natural women. I hate when women get things done.
And then like all the women they like our Instagram
(25:56):
models where every single thing has been done. Yeah, those
guys too that are even like you don't need makeup,
Get the funk out of my bathroom. I'll see you
at dinner. Shut up, I do need makeup. I wish
(26:17):
I had some right now. In fact, Amy, this is important.
Have you ever considered law school, if so, specifically Harvard Law?
Follow up question, do you think l Wood's ultimately deserved
her earned station? I actually did consider law school, and
(26:40):
I did want to go to Harvard. I ultimately, uh,
probably wouldn't have had the grades or the motivation to
be a lawyer. I just like toward the campus and
I liked Cambridge, and so then I decided I needed
to go to Harvard. But guess what I didn't. Um,
I finished Berkeley and I got the funk out of there.
(27:02):
That was. That was it for my schooling, all done,
not using any of it. So thank god I didn't go. Yeah,
I think, oh Woo's l Woods, l Woods. Yeah, she
should have whatever she wants. You know what's crazy, though,
like you would have made a hell of a lawyer,
Like you would have made probably the best lawyer of
(27:22):
all time, because you are like the most detailed person
on earth. And also you hold your ground so hard,
like you are like unshakable, unmovable, Like I don't know
what two qualities could be better. And a lawyer you
need a lot of prep work, though that's not always
(27:43):
my strong I don't know. I prepped pretty well for
this podcast. Say, you're probably the most prepared person for
this podcast, even though it's not in your time frame
that you're even awake. So because it incredible, because it's
something I'm passionate about, I would see myself like if
I was like a defense attorney or something like just
(28:03):
having certain clients that I was just over, you know
what I mean, just like I don't care about winning
this case, Like I would phone it in on people
I just didn't like. And you can't really do that,
not in this justice system. No, I know. I always
think about public defenders like and um, criminal defense lawyers
(28:25):
like that has to be the most insane job, like spiritually,
they have to be so so zoomed out, like in
another dimension where they're like criminals make mistakes, you know
they Yeah, I know some criminal defense lawyers and they
well a lot of people are not guilty, so you
(28:46):
have to give everyone the same shot. But they'll definitely
be like I know this guy did it, and then
just becomes like a chess match where they're just like
interested in winning the game. I know. That's what's so
nuts and like law, laws and crime and how it
all intersects and what it means like ethically, because there
(29:08):
is like so much bias and injustice. But then like
you know, we need you can't just have murderers running
free murdering a million people. It's like it's so sketchy. Um, wow,
we really get sketchy. For sure. Sketchy is probably the
best words is sketch. Dude, it's sucking. I don't know
(29:31):
if it's to me it's yeah, but I don't think,
like I don't how. I don't know how you could
defend a murderer rapist, Like that's fucking gnarly on your soul. Yeah,
like seeing the family sitting there of like the VIC
I mean, that's just hard as hell. I don't know
(29:51):
how anyone does that job. I also don't know how
the homicide detectives do it, Like it's the things they
see day in and day out or gnarly, like their
quality of life can't be good, like their cortisol has
to just be spiked to one thousand every day. Yeah. Yeah,
they're having weird bowel movements at strange times and as
ulcers xmasis yeah, um yes, yes, but um we do
(30:20):
love tangents on this podcast. We like to go deep
into tangents and wormholes, So don't be afraid if we
get completely as subject. Okay, next question, Amy, in the
movie Sweethold Alabama, who would you have chosen Patrick Dempsey
or Josh Lucas. I want Josh Lucas to kill me.
(30:41):
Obviously obviously Lucas. Really it's not the easiest choice in
the world. Um. I just watched this movie again, just
a couple of weeks ago, and I still am a
little bit torn. I mean, Patrick Dempsey is just so fine.
But Josh, you know he's making He's blowing glass in
(31:02):
the sand somehow when lightning strikes, he knows where it's
gonna land to make his He's an artist, he's a
handy man. Yeah, yeah, I don't say an age. I
(31:23):
don't know how to fix um that much, so it
would be nice. But yeah, I taped my air conditioner
with the electrical tape and I said, if I ever
wanted a man, this would be the moment. On the
other hand, Patrick Dempsey isn't as much of like a
villain in that like choose between the hometown boy and
(31:43):
the yuppy way that a lot of those movies are like.
He's actually a pretty good guy. And he does take
her to Tiffany and let her choose whatever she wants.
So that's cute, but that's but that is the ultimate.
And I have always said this because The Notebook as
one of my favorite movies, because I am ultimately a pearhearted, romantic,
(32:04):
within sensitive, open, tragically open heart, and um, I have
always said that the reason that movie worked and the
movie the reason for the tension was they made the
other guy a sweetie instead of a villain, because then
the choice is too obvious, like when it is actually
(32:25):
a hard choice with like a very sweet, hot rich
man who adores you but just isn't quite right, then
you're like, oh my god, this is like the hardest
choice in the world. It is, and we have all
had to make those choices between a season. Our Lucas
is I don't know that I've ever been in that situation.
(32:45):
I'm serious, Sure you have a nice hometown hunk from
Orange County versus a big city hot shot. Yeah, I
don't think I've ever been in that situation between two
dead broke comedians. Yeah, no, open mic or host. Also
(33:14):
Reese Withers and Sweet Home Alabama is really awful. She's
like a Carrie Bradshaw level, just horrible character that shouldn't
have either of them. Honestly, they should be together. Lucas
and Dempsey should have just kissed at the end. Yeah, lightning,
but again, but again, I appreciated that she was basically
just acting like a man. She's like, I'm doing my shoot,
(33:37):
I'm pursuing my dreams, like you know all that, Like
I'm leaving behind this bullshit that's weighing me down. But
she's also annoying in classes, and it's like you cannot
like where you're from, you don't have to shoot on
the people that still live there, you know what I mean?
I don't I agree. I do think it can be
a natural impulse that ultimately people come around on. Sometimes
(34:00):
they start out that way. They were like I want
a whole new life. I want to hold different thing,
you know. Sure, sure? Um okay, So really ultimately married
her agent, Jim talk Amy, would you ever marry your agent?
(34:23):
She is hot, um, and she has a cute baby,
so maybe she's already married. But yeah, I don't see
why not. As you know, I am no um stranger
to professional entanglements in my relationships, so I've already practiced it. Yeah,
I mean, if you're getting me the work, let's get married. Whoa. Um.
(34:49):
That is sort of a world chattering answer that I love. Um.
That's a type of thing, that's the type of answer
that keeps people tuning into this podcast. Yeah, I don't
know that I would marry an agent. But also like
so when I go on hinge um anywhere from one
to two times a month, um, I see I see
(35:11):
so many agents on there, and I of course I've left,
and it's always like U T a comedy agent. Uh
ci a comedy agent, And I'm like, but don't go
on dates with these men, no, because I feel like
that would be weird. And but it's hard for me
because like I like Rosebud always like think it goes.
(35:34):
You're attracted to that man, aren't you? You're disgusting because
I like a very confident, intelligent, sort of go get
or fast talking man. You know. Yeah, I don't see
anything wrong with it. It's I think it's the best
of both worlds a little bit because it's like a
person who sort of understands what your job is, which
(35:56):
is weird because what what is it? What are you?
We're doing this? Yes, am you know? Um? But isn't
directly in your job? And right I think is it
would be a big step up from comedians. Now, I
agree with you. I agree with you. Something to consider,
(36:17):
something to consider, um okay? Amy Amy Amy hypothetically hypothetically. Yeah, No,
definitely trying to get out the game clawing, clawing, clawing, Amy.
Did you also think that the Ryan Philippie character Sebastian
(36:38):
Cool Intentions was gay like me? Follow up question is
Cool Intentions the single best movie of all time? Yes?
And yes, okay, you thought he was gay too? Because
I thought he was gay. I remember seeing it, but
like I didn't even know what gay was back then.
(37:00):
I'll see in the movie because like no one told us,
no no one, no one told us. I never met
in three or whatever. You didn't know, No, No, I
literally didn't, like, Noah gay. I knew one guy at
my high school who was gay who was not out.
I'm sure there were many more, but like in Orange County,
you remember that type. I need to get your parents on.
(37:21):
No know, my parents didn't know, That's what I'm saying.
Like it was they knew, they I know, but like
they didn't know when he gets you know, it was
quite sheltered early two thousands, nineties. I'm thankful I left
and got to meet the rest of the world. I
(37:44):
think it was implied. It's it kind of was implied.
I feel like that he was by or at least
like Kinky, because there is like a little bit of
a well, first of all, they say a lot of
gay slurs in that film, and that part. I need
to rewatch it because yeah, I know there's a lot
of that ship in those movies that back then, because yeah,
(38:05):
unfortunately it was a worse time, wildly entertaining and hot. God,
I because I haven't seen it in years and years
and years, but I remember being like, this is this
best movie I have ever in my life. A bunch
(38:26):
of us went to see it at UM Universal that
AMC like last year's sometime, and like me and Steve
and Julia and a few other people, and we were
the only ones in the theater laughing, like nobody else
there thought or knew that it was funny. And then
we just felt bad because we were just laughing the
(38:49):
whole time because it's fucking hilarious movie, and the rest
of the cinema I think felt that it was an
art film. Oh my god, it's just so good though.
It's just so so good, and I think it really
influenced like basically the whole um show Gossip Girl I
think is completely based on it, um like direct influence.
(39:13):
But God, I it. I don't know, maybe it informed
like my view of relationships and stuff going forward because
like I and maybe that's all of TV because they
can't have simple, healthy relationships because then there's no story
or interest or TV or television show. It's not good television.
But what do you call Roseanne? But I thought I
(39:37):
always thought, like I remember when I was young, like
in high school whatever, Like I thought that Blair Waldorf
and Chuck Bass were so that hot, like I wanted
them to work out together, and it of course was
like this deeply toxic thing. Oh my god. I always
wanted the good girl and the bad guy to work
(39:57):
out together, like um Pacy and Joey and um saying yeah,
and that's and then look how we've lived our lives.
Now we're on the man um kind of anyone named
Sebastian make it through this lifetime without committing evil? Do
you think? Mmmm? Probably uh Maniscalco and oh yeah, the
(40:24):
Crustacean from Little Mermaid, And probably that's it. I think
anybody else, any other Sebastians are going to be problematic. Wait,
it's so those were really two incredible ones. You popped
off right away immediately, you know, Sebastian Maniscalco. I of
course love him, you can to do s why Um,
(40:45):
but he's such like an aggressively masculine man. And then
like in his special he was saying how he gets
up with his wife with the baby for every feeding
he does with her, and I was like, he was like,
I do every single thing with her, and I was like,
that is incredible. And also the most believed him when
(41:08):
he didn't believe him. Oh my god, you're callable. Oh
my god, you didn't believe every feeding. You think Sebastians
getting up for every feeding? I don't think so every
fucking feed. I believed him when he's in town. He
has that type of intensity that he would do something
psycho like that. Maybe so maybe he's just really good husband.
(41:29):
I have that type of thing too, where I'm like,
if I say I'm going to do something, I absolutely
do it. I do not ever waver from it. And
then I and then I am confused. When someone else
says they're going to do something and they do not
follow through. I am literally utterly I don't understand it,
but it's very common. Yeah. Um, but I take my
(41:52):
word as set in stone concrete. Um, okay, Amy Amy Amy.
In Big Little Lies, Reese played Madeleine Martha Mackenzie. Have
you ever thought about becoming a three name person? And
I often find three name people to be doing a lot.
When I started comedy, I thought about it. Or well,
(42:14):
because there's some fucking lady in New York name Amy
Miller who was trying to just do it for a while,
and she well, she's not going to listen to this
another number one fan Amy. She caved. She went three names. Oh,
that's benevolent and lucky. And as made that happen, she
(42:38):
walked so I could run, you know, And I was
glad that I won because we kept getting tagged in
each other's ship and then she's putting videos up and stuff,
and it was like, girl, you're not gonna win this.
You gotta you gotta give it up. We're going you know,
you were going Amelia or you gotta add your fucking
middle name. But I thought, yes, in the beginning, Yeah,
(43:02):
Amy Selene Miller. I thought about it that I was
gonna say all that though that's it's just gnarly for comedy.
If you were like just a straight actress, you could
do that, but like for comedy in all these hosts,
and they're like, Amy, So I forgot your middle name
too much exactly, And also I don't. I don't know
it kind of worked out, I don't. Everyone in my
(43:24):
family just calls me by my full name, Amy Miller,
including the children, and most of my closest friends call
me Amy Miller like ex boyfriends. You don't. You don't
do that really? Now, I call you Amy. I've never
called you Amy Miller in my life. Yeah. Yeah, But
do you say Amy Silverberg? Mm hmm. No, that means
(43:47):
I won I don't call her. I call her Amy.
Also she calls large Amie and small Amy, because that
would be so hurtful. No, I've never done it in
my life. I don't call us old Amy and young Amy.
No one are done that either. Do you call smart
Amy and illiterate Amy? No, I've never done that in
my life. I would have no reason to do that.
(44:09):
It's very odd that you're even suggesting these improbable binaries
that would never happen. Do you call us big tit
Amy and tiny jugs Aimy? No? No, she also has
pretty good sized jukes. Um she does for the tiny
Winterer dog. Yeah, yea for being nineties six pounds. Um,
she looks like a pregnant pregnant winer dog. Um. Yes
(44:31):
so and the titties got it. Um. Yeah, I think
that's interesting. I did data three name person once. It
was a lot um. Okay, Um, you do introduce him
that way? Yeah? I had to. If you're like, here's
my boyfriend. No, no, I never did that. Actually, now
(44:52):
that you mentioned it, no, I admit that once. Do you,
in general, when you're introducing a friend say their last
name at all? I do? I? I right too? Why
um for the brand babe, Yeah, if you can believe it. Yeah,
(45:12):
it is funny that you bring that up about another
comedian named like because that happen to Anthony DeVito and
he had to like change his handle because there's like
another Anthony DeVito, which is just like wild, because that
is a very obscure name that's not like a normal
name like Chris Smith or something. Shane Torres had one too,
but the other guy lost and now his name is Torres.
(45:34):
He has also lived in Texas. He was like from
the exact same town. WHOA, that is crazy? Yeah, Shane
ultimately one, Wow, I wonder what that means metaphysically interesting. Um,
(45:57):
when Reese's husband got du i, as you so gleefully
mentioned to our crowd of listeners, when NES's husband got
as dui, and Rees started screaming, do you know who
I am? Why is it? Do you think that the
(46:17):
public forgave her so easily that it washed away so
quickly in a heartbeat, compared to so many others who
can somehow be just not escaped the shadow of one
wrong doing. Well, first of all, because Reese sat down
(46:38):
and apologized and she said, I said some crazy shit
because I was fucked up drunk, and I regret it,
and I'm sorry, and I'm sorry to everyone, my fans,
the police, police officer, to my husband. She just said sorry,
which truly nobody any ever does. I don't think not thoroughly.
(47:00):
People will be like, oh, you know, I regret my
you know whatever, They'll dance around it. But she was
just like sorry, and she's just so lovable. I mean,
she's America's sweetheart. How can you not forgive Reese Witherspoon.
She could steal my identity and take the seven out
(47:21):
of and just be like, sorry, I was drunk, and
I'm like Okay, yeah, well it is something to be said.
Like we have this culture in this country that I
do feel is like heavily entwined with internet culture where
we do not want to forgive people and we always
(47:42):
want to find the bad that people do. Um, which
is like also a mix with like accountability and progress
and going forward. But like I do feel like sometimes
it's like people don't want reform, Like sometimes people really
are so sorry, I like I want to you know, yes, well,
(48:05):
sometimes it can be easier to just like put someone
in that box and be like I'm done with you.
And because there's too many people to um care about
and follow and like too much media to watch. So
if you can cut out, like you know a certain
number of people moving forward, that really like helps your
decision making a little bit. But I can't you know,
(48:28):
Reese is not someone we were prepared to lose. Is
she a white lady? Yes? Of course of course that
plays a huge factor, and also why we forgave her
so quickly for her ridiculous behavior, and also why she
didn't get locked up. Um so I like Jesus Christ
threatening this cop um, But listen, she's an American citizen
(48:51):
and she's on American soil. God, when you said that,
I forgot that part of it. It really made me
laugh so hard. And I remember that morning when that
video came out and I was like, oh, poor Reese,
because she really did like such a fucking asshole. But
at the same time, my thing is like, when people
(49:12):
want to separate like nuance and this not nuance isn't
the right word. When people want to deny that every
single person on earth has behaved shitty, I'm like all
the PingER pointers. I'm like, I know you did something
shitty and yelled at someone on a bachelorette party. I
(49:32):
know you have done shitty things, because that's just part
of being human. Like even the best person has behaved
in a really shitty way more than a hundred times
in their life. And I have yelled at the police,
and I wish there was tape of it. That would
be fucking hilarious that at the beginning of your next
(49:53):
special Did you see after? Shortly after that, it was
like my favorite Bowen lip sync ever? Oh yes, Oh
Boonen's lip sync to the Resarress is one of the
more genius things I've ever seen. That was that was funny.
He I mean, he had such a run of those
lip syncs, like right before he popped off, and they
(50:15):
were just like you could not look away. They were
just like incredible. Yeah, that one is my favorite for sure.
I'm gonna have to rewatch it, like as soon as
we're done recording this promptly. Okay, Amy, Amy, Amy, are
you watching The Morning Show? And what do you think? Okay, so, yes,
(50:39):
it's going so slowly. I'm still in the first season
and this is maybe like the big exception to like
anything Reest does. I can just sip right through it
because it's just not very good. Oh my god, I
couldn't disagree more. The first season is not good, but
I'm gonna try again. I'm gonna try again. Um. I
(50:59):
also out rid of my Apple TV Plus for a while,
but then I got it back to watch. Um it
is the more reasonably priced streamers compared to all these
other motherfucker's with high quality content I'm watching. I am
watching like three different shows on Apple TV right now.
It's gotten a lot better and you can always get
(51:20):
a free trial through your phone company usually. Wait, but
I love The Morning Show, like even what like in
the beginning well, I couldn't even relate to not being
able to like finish it immediately, I binge the funk
out of it. I couldn't stop. I was so riveted
because I do like the story about how it like
Steve Correll is like a thinly veiled Matt Lower, and
(51:43):
I think that's so interesting them exploring it through all
the you seeing it, exploring all that, through all the
different perspectives, and all the balancing it happened from like
a woman, a woman in that like high, highly paid,
highly sought after position, how that affects her, what's going
I just found the whole thing interesting, and the sheer
(52:03):
star power of all those actors that are like straight
fucking movie stars, like I couldn't look away. True, Okay,
I'll try it again. I'll try it again. Was legiticile too.
I thought some of the writing around Steve Correll's me
too stuff was just really weird. It was, I agree,
but I thought he was so interesting, supposed to be
(52:25):
more of a sympathetic character than I think he was
to me, And that made it hard because I was like,
I know, what you're trying to do, Morning Show is
to show me all the sides and tell me like, oh,
this isn't a bad guy, but that's not my bag.
I think it. I think it changes if you go forward,
all right, Yeah, I think that that specifically changes. But again,
(52:46):
I love to watch TV shows, Blair, I love to
watch TV shows. I don't think anyone loves Stev more
than me. Coming off a week of bed rest, I
really finished everything on there, like I have to read
a book now because I'm honestly waiting for new episodes
to come out at this point. Um, oh no, I
actually have to go back to my life unfortunately. But
(53:07):
um yeah, I love the Morning Show. It's so riveting.
I love it all. It can't wait to come back. Um.
I usually agree on show, so I'll give it in
another shot. Yeah, um okay, So Amy Amy Amy Reese's
kids are exact clones of her and Ryan. Uh question,
(53:29):
do you also want to have any clone kids? If
I could be guaranteed that my kid would be exactly
like me, then I would have one, really, but currently
not planning to. Um take the gamble on the many
different kinds of human that I could have. Oh sure,
(53:50):
I mean it's endless, honestly, Yeah, it's too scary, too
many options for me, So that's a no. Um, but
I think it would be cool to have a little clone.
My sister kind of has a clone. My niece is
just like herpet, but she's just like she's really bad,
and so we're like ha ha ha, you got yourself
(54:11):
and then they just fight all the time. How many
nieces and nephews you have? I have two nieces and
a nephew. My niphews like old? Now yeah, how old?
Oh wow? What's that? No, it's really weird. It's really
really weird, something specifically strange. And this is this I'm
sure like some internalized misogyny here about seeing like a
(54:36):
baby go to like a man, like weirder than because
well because life kind of beats like a lot of
the softness out of them as they try to become
like I'm a dude, you know, and then you're like, oh,
remember our sweet little baby. But like girls more often
(54:57):
like get to keep a lot of that sensitivity softness. Um,
you hope, yeah, you hope. Yeah. I mean you also
want them to be tough and fucking beat as the
girls are. We keep them scary as well. But but yeah,
it's really weird, like just this dude. He was just like,
(55:20):
you know, just a sweet little baby. Oh my god,
I love my niece. I have five nieces and nephews
under the age of four, and um, I'm so lucky.
I just love them so much. There was a period
of time just want to sit in a pile of them,
you know. Yeah, like they just like climb on you
and like bro shot at you, and like they're just
(55:42):
so cute and they just want to show you ship
all the time. They want your attention so bad, it's
so cute. Like there was a period I think when
I was in New York and there's something about living
in New York not something like everything about New York
where time just stands still and everyone's just like chasing
the bag, where like I was like, I don't know
if I want to have kids. And then when I
(56:02):
got back to California and I was around my family
and like the pace of life is much slower, I
was like, Oh, I definitely want kids. I was just
like in New York, I didn't didn't make sense. And
you're into their small area, compact area, You're like, where
would they sleep? Yeah, And when the kids you hang
out with all your siblings kids, they're just like I
(56:23):
don't know, there's just this crazy closeness and and then
you can see like, okay, they're doing okay in this family,
so maybe I could do it too. But they're so
cute and they just love you unconditionally, and they're like,
don't know what kind of twisted ship you've done yet.
So again, all people on earth have done twisted ship. Um, yeah,
(56:45):
you especially well look if you read it sick. I
don't like the sweetest person. Um, I really am. Um.
I know I wish no ill on anyone, even evil people. Um,
but like yeah, you you watch any church documentary and
you see that's true. Like I'm it's like, okay, yeah,
(57:08):
I'm sure these evil wanted to be good. But um, anyways,
whoa okay? Um against my religion? Oh yeah? And what
religion is that? The Churchill Reach Reach Reach Witherspoon, that's
the church I belong to to. That So we did
not speak in the morning. It's so merassing. I'm dead, No,
(57:32):
are you kidding? I've never or heard anyone more articulate
in my life than this moment. Um, I know, I
that is so crazy that we both belong to the
Church of Reese Witherspoon. It's uh, the congregation is strong.
It's very white. Um, but we have a good time.
(57:53):
You know, we make clothes. Did you like the show
the limited series? Reese Argo loves a limited series, Little
Fires Everywhere. Oh, I loved it. I loved it. I
really zipped right through that one. I just thought it
was so good. I thought it was okay. I read
(58:15):
the book first, which is always the problem. Yeah, I
didn't read. I don't read. I feel like you read
a lot. No, I do read a lot. Um. I
did not read that one, so maybe that is why.
But I thought it was a pretty entertaining little television show.
I loved Big Little Lies, Oh my god. Oh sure.
I still listen to that song all the time. Yeah,
(58:40):
and you're like, oh this is scary. It's that big
and Marin and yeah it's so creepy. Oh man, that
was a good time. Yeah that was again. Yeah was it?
Were we in Quarantine? When the second season of that
show came out, it was like, where are they going
to go with this? Because how do they It was like,
(59:00):
how are they going to go anywhere? After that finale?
But we got it when we needed it so much.
Like we were just thirsty for it, you know, it
is funny. I do feel like the shows that were
during the first year and a half of Quarantine will
are burned into us because it was like there was
the world stopped, so that's all there was where it
(59:22):
was like a good show, like Hit a hundred times harder. Absolutely, Yeah,
and a lot of episodes of Mr. Bean I can't.
I can't relate to that. Oh, it's really funny. Did
you watch The Outsider like that was like right at
the beginning, like I think right before Quarantine or in
(59:45):
this very first month of Quarantine. Yes, that was a
solo show that I watched because then I feel also
like couples people had, you know, we all had to
have our together shows and then also like our Okay,
you're in bad and this is my show time and
The Outsider wasn't my show. Yeah, you know what just
(01:00:07):
felt like a little treat. That was like I think
the scariest show I've ever seen, which is hard to
do with like a supernatural element to be actually scared
of that. But um Ben Mendelssohn, I think his name
was so good. Also, like I would never watch a
show like that, and then Rosebud made me because she's
(01:00:30):
Is it Stephen King? I think it was Stephen King
because she's sick and loves scary shit, and that she
made you watch it and you made me watch it?
Is that true? Yeah? The Rosebud Reign of Terror is
a long line. That's true because I now watch a
lot more thriller ship than I used to. I don't
watch horror because I have no need for that, but
(01:00:53):
I do like a lot of British thrillers and there's
so many on Netflix where it's just like, oh, how
did this person die? And how are all these people intertwined?
Maybe this sassy, brassy detective lady needs to come figure
it out. You gotta send me some wrecks. I will.
I definitely will because now I'm a super into the
(01:01:14):
mysteries and I'm funny that to bring this up, have
you heard of Surface on Apple TV? Because it's produced
by um Ruce Weatherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine, And I
didn't know that was the name of her cup of
course it is. Yeah, absolutely, Hello Sunshine. But I'm gonna
guessed it. I guess. Yeah. That's what I say to
(01:01:36):
her every morning when I wake up and think of race. Um,
I haven't watched it, but add it to my list.
It is so good. I just started it on my
bed rest and I am absolutely frothing for the next episode.
It's so freaking good. Holy sh it. Okay, um yeah,
Estherspoon also has a clothing line called Draper James, like,
(01:02:00):
because you know, every celebrity woman, white woman has a
line where the second word is James. Yeah, it's it's
not bad though, it's pretty cute. She's got some cute stuff.
I haven't seen any of it. I imagine it is
like cute and simple, but that is the move, like
(01:02:20):
because you know, we're always trying as to build wealth, Like,
if you're a celebrity, you gotta get a line of
clothes because it's just passive income staples. And I feel
like now current day Reese, anytime we see her, she
was just wearing like a baby blue French French tucked
(01:02:42):
collared shirt. Oh yes, white pants and like nothing else
from LowFERs, maybe a half low fur whatever, you know,
a slide. She's going back to her New Orleans roots. Yeah,
I know it's a cute look. I always tempted to
buy um a dripper, James item Yester, what was it
just in the in the research, But I don't know.
(01:03:07):
I think it's I think it's probably priced a little
bit higher than is its quality. Okay, sure, sure, as
everything is on earth. And so I was just thinking,
And this isn't Lucien's question, This is my question. What
do you think Reese's drink of choices? Oh, it's like
(01:03:28):
a sweet tea. Maybe splash a bourbon in it, yeah, booze.
You know, I feel like in the d I video
or maybe in her in her apology, she says what
she was drinking margarite? Does? Was it Margarite does? It
might have been? It was definitely want like like it
sounds like they stuck to one thing for the night.
(01:03:48):
You know, those nights can really go off the rails,
sometimes even more than mixing. Like if you're just like
all we have were Margarita? Does we had nine? Then
you're like, how did I get so drunk? I have
to be honest at this point in my life. I
don't know if it's because I have cleansed my spirit
so deeply, but if I have one Margarita, I am
(01:04:10):
in a different stratosphere, which is so bizarre considering that
I used to just be a tank when I was younger. Yeah,
you get drunk pretty fast, I mean scary fast, like
half a glass of wine. Yeah, it's pretty funny to
watch though. Wait, what I feel like, I know your
drink of choice. I know you like margharita. What is
(01:04:33):
your other one? You like Margarita's? Are That's something I
get when I'm going out with a friend for a
sizzling fahita platter. Oh my god, I love a sizzling
fahita platter. They're so good. Um, but that's not my
I usually will get like a whiskey soda. That's what
it is, Okay, wine chardonnay. Like when we're at the
(01:04:55):
comedy store, I feel like you get a whiskey soda. Yeah, yeah,
because there's a darkness about that place. It's brooding. You
have to drink brown liquors there or it doesn't feel right.
You know what I get at the comedy store? What
I get a white wine or I get a greyhound
(01:05:17):
That sounds good. I have done white wine there because um,
he really fills them up to the tippy top of
the cup and then you're like it's two glasses. It's
two glasses. It's yeah, and um, it is funny because
I am not a paid regular at the store. I
love that place so deeply, like it's my favorite place
to perform, honestly. But when I do go there and
(01:05:40):
it's worth it, I'm saying it's worth it. I'm prefacing
it's worth it. But I do pay for fifteen dollar
parking and then I'll pay for a fifteen dollar glass
of wine. I'm basically paying thirty dollars to perform. Yeah, yeah,
park illegally a lot of time and just st ticket
a year. Oh, just like in neighborhood parking, and then
(01:06:00):
just like hope for the best. But you know, once
in a while they get you and then you're like, okay,
well I didn't pay the other twenty times, so I'm
still out of it. That's actually really smart. Drink costs. Yeah,
we'll get there, you know, we'll be in that back
bar and no time blare me and you. I think
(01:06:22):
that's true, honestly, I think I think so too. Um,
I wish, I like, I hope at that point also
we will get get to be booked on the same
show so we could have a fun time I know
we're gonna have most fun time. Oh yeah, of course
until our big falling out. Oh my god, why would
you ever say that I was just testing you? Oh
(01:06:43):
my god. I don't have falling out because you know why,
Because I don't choose people that are unsafe. You fall up,
That's true. Yeah, I'm very specific about who I let
in in my inner circle because I can tell who is. Um.
Difference is difficult, not romantic partners. No, I'm doing better, Amy.
(01:07:06):
You need to relate. You need to relate to me
as my highest, highest version of myself. Yeah, because so
I'm trying, honey him not high, got it? Sure? Sure, sure, Um.
I do have to ask this question, which is an
(01:07:28):
interesting timing. According to Lucian Whiggles Reese one the Academy
Award for Best Actors for playing June Carter Cash in
the musical biopic Walk the Mind. Have you also dated
an alcoholic? Have I? Oh boy, alcoholics and musicians combined
(01:07:58):
together sometimes times drummers, country music punks. Oh yeah, drug addicts,
drug dealers, bartenders, um, restaurant bartenders. Yeah, of course, cod heads.
(01:08:18):
I think this means you're gonna get an Academy award.
I think it means that the next man will be
my Academy award. Nice separate that you. I actually am
talking about a real Atademy award and then the man
a gold Man, Man of gold. Yeah. I mean, it's
(01:08:40):
just unfortunate that in the arts and anything in the
arts there just happens to be a lot of uh,
substance people. Sure, but I'm also a degenerate, So like,
who am I saying, uh, you need to get your
life together too? Absolutely? No, one, yes, and no, I
don't know. Um any ways, God, this was too fun,
(01:09:02):
Like I really don't want it to end. That's how
I feel about every episode of my Dear Own Wilson podcast.
It's just too that's good. I'm glad you like it.
Um Wait, you're not saying you liked it too, which
is out of odd. I like it, but of course
I'm gonna like it. I'm here with you. That's fun.
We're talking about our virtual love. Enjoying your own podcast.
(01:09:27):
It just makes me happy. Oh yeah, I thank you.
I appreciate that. It's good to us your friends, supporting friends,
women supporting women. Re supports women too. I know she does,
and she does. She does so much good work. It's insane.
I couldn't even get into the charity chunk, but it's expensive.
Don't you think when we're ritual, like really be into
(01:09:47):
charity too. I think I really see that for us. Um, yeah,
I would hope, so at least like chair some boards,
chair some boards. Yeah. Okay, Well, we do like to
do a thing at the end of our own podcast,
me and the whole team, all the huge team and um.
It's called fan on the Street on the Street Street
(01:10:19):
and it's basically where you share maybe your favorite uh
celebrity anecdote run in or surprising one, just a fun
one for our guests audience. Mm hmm. Well, oh man,
I feel like they're all like information that I shouldn't
share publicly. Okay, well you don't have to, only if
(01:10:40):
it's a fun um, you know, harmless. I mean, I
will say when I when I first moved to l
a um, and I was in the car with Adam
and we were like just roasting this dude for no reason.
I have to stop, like, and he was like, look
(01:11:01):
at that Brad Garrett looking motherfucker. Then it was just
Brad Garrett and then we were like, oh, we live
in l A. Now, Oh yeah, that's crazy, and have
the people that look like so and so. Motherfucker just
is that motherfucker and it's so funny. Brad sure has
had a resurgence of his career. He has. Yeah, he's
(01:11:21):
doing good. And he owns a comedy club, so that's nice. Yeah.
Have you ever performed there? Nope, not yet, but I
would love to. If you're listening, Brad, yeah, he's probably
listening to this. Who isn't listening to this? Honestly, I
feel like so many of my other celebrity runnings have
just been sorted or you know, they said some crazy ship,
(01:11:42):
Oh wow, okay, I tried to have a threesome with
me or something. Hype, my god, they're incredible. Um what
that was? All right? Amy, Well, just thank you so
much for coming on. I had the time of my
goddamn life. I'll love you and all to you. Thanks
for getting nove early. Bye.
