Speaker 1 (00:01):
Look mare, oh, I see you, my ow and look
over there is that culture Yes, goodness, wow, lost cult
ding Dong lost Culturista's calling. Now where'd you just come from?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I just came from my dressing room at S and
today was my actual last day, so I had to
sneak in there. We're about to go to Japan. Everyone
is back at work from hiatus. Everyone's going back today
for Monday pitch. But I didn't really sneak in there
before everyone came back clean, clearing out my stuff. A

(00:36):
lot of wonderful to Tritus. But the biggest thing for
me was this. What's this original wig mold from the
hair department and a little note from Jodimancuso, the Emmy
winning Jody Mankunzo to my bone until next.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Time, love Jony.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh my gosh, it's my head. When you host one day,
you have to bring this back, I guess so. But
now this is going in mind. This is yeah, this
is this has a spot you know, because I have
a little like head like a hatstand in my apartment.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Right, Yes, of course this is the new hatstand.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
This is perfect for a hatstand because it's your head already.
It's apps Oh my gosh. And is this was this
word bowen? Is this where your face would go? That's
where let's see. I just want to say face and eyes.
Well I think this is more. The eyes are the
eyes of the face. I should get this tattooed on,
like right here. That would be really good. It would
be nice anyway, And then you started music career, and

(01:27):
then I started music career. So but this was all
beautifully coincidental, because isn't it It isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Actually a lot of things about this or kis made
because I went in today was like the last day
to do it. And then our guest was coming in today,
and I was like, oh, wait a minute. And then
as I walked to this building, coming out of her
gorgeous motorcade many cars.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Many cars, Uh it was it was just one.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
But coming out of her car was our guest, and
it was she was in a gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Faux fur and foe. It felt it felt culturally vultures.
It felt so.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
So perfect kismet. And then so many things about the
guests are perfect.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
I recently got to have some high drinks with the guests.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
You.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I would describe our sort of cavorting as Scooby Doo
ask on the new season of Palm Royal.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Oh my god, I've always wanted to do a steakout.
You got to do multiple steakouts behind a hedge in
a car.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It was wish fulfillment. You got. You were up to
high jinks and your ass was up to high cheeks. Damn,
thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
There were a lot of great Palm Riyal Season two,
episode seven. Yeah, you gotta really that this director really
loves I believe the creator of the show.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
I will say it's it's Abe Sylvia who was responsible
for this. Frames the male asses in the show with
a an attention to detail that I would only describe
as gay, a heated rivalry as yes, and I would
say that there's clearly a gay guy in charge of
the show and behind the camera and writing this and
thank god. And actually I told him I was like,
from one gay guard to another, congratulations, gradually this is

(03:06):
a gay guys show.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And I am so like happy.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean, I was watching the episode and just it
has the best cast of all time.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Perfect.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
By the way, you can stream all of it now
on Apple TV Plus and get. They dropped the Plus.
They dropped the plus. Oh Apple TV is there's no
plus plus anymore. That doesn't mean it's anything less. Just
because they've lost their plus doesn't mean they're not a plus. Yes,
they're just Apple TV Plus still a anyways. Anyway, being
on this, we love you, We love you a network abe,

sitting here with an Actor Award nomination.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Newly newly renamed after award nomination, and that is a
big fucking deal.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I have to say I'm not surprised at all, because
I don't think there's a person in this biz who's
more who elicits a more emphatic, like excited, joyful response
than the even idea of our guests showing up. And
she has shown up here today, a true pal, a
true talent and more. Please do yourself us and more

(04:24):

ways of the Seal and exalting the presence of our

of a party dressing room I find because of the
way it's.

Speaker 4 (05:18):

it's the funnest job in the world. And I was like, yes,
Kristen wigg it's fun. It's fun.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Yeah, And I think it's so easy to like over
especially because of the nature of the show. It's like
you don't know what you're doing ever, and like you
could have a sketch that works address and it doesn't
work in it. There's so much like letting go. So
it's just like, oh, it's just you know, not to
say it can't be stressful at times, but it's so fun. Yeah,

(06:49):
So when you boil it down, you're yeah, you're just
like being dumb.

dedicate some time to the great James Anderson.

Johansson's Christmas Elves. Who's saying like Christmas pop song?

Speaker 2 (08:08):
And then he wrote me, I think sorry to every
other writer, including myself. My favorite line I've ever said
on that show. I can say that now in posterity,
which was as the Tony Garage coming up and saying
the song was an homage to my mother, the mother
of the house, Miss Buffet Styles. It was written at

(08:28):
five a m. When I was skiing with Miss Connie.

the stressed most programming times?

Speaker 4 (11:28):

I hosted a dog grooming competition show called dog Like Coutore.
So it's no longer on man, you may not watch it, Okay,
it was, it was, it was removed.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
It's erased from the internet.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, wow, it's completely gone. It was me, Robin Feedie
and jess Rona. Zaslav said not for me. He said,
this is not good.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Wow, these dogs should look like dogs, not fashion models.
Because one dog they turned into Lady Gaga. Another dog

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Yeah, And this was recent, This was pandemic this so

your dog crowing. But is it batch make us a
cord on blue.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
While blow drying.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
And making them look bad ideas?

Speaker 2 (13:13):
But wait, ideas you were saying this on Amy's podcast
that like, and I relate to this hard, which is
that I'm a horrible, horrible storyteller. Like my worst nightmare
is explaining walking someone through an idea or a narrative
and having everyone listen to me while I.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Do it well.

Speaker 4 (13:31):
And I'm so happy to hear this because do you
find people are like, that's not true. I don't believe
you because you can do other things.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I'm bellish.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
Yeah, I'm so bad. It's my nightmare to get out
to dinner and be like, oh my god, Kristen Tell
and I'm like, because I couldn't even describe.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Wild crass.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
It, I kind of described it.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
I'm on guard children's show.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
It's yes, animated, right, and then somehow they come back
and then they say thanks for watching.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, I can I say that.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I'm happy to know that children's programming is still like
a little wacko and surreal because I remember when we
were younger, and you would so it was like Disney Channel,
which was a little bit more straightforward. And of course
this is more like preteen program I'm talking about, but
Nickelodeon when we were kids, like young young.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
It was cracked.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
The things that would happen in those animated shows like
Ren and Stimpy and Rocco's Modern Life like this was
he felt adult very much show very much.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
So was that on it in the morning?

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I think it was on it wasn't Crutchy Network. I
think it was Nickelodeon. Was Nickelodeon.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
It was in a bar, you know what I mean,
Like you'd go into a bar and just like Ren
and Stimpy would be playing.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
That's a cool bar.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
I remember, like Roco's Modern Life. There was a scene
one time where like Rocco got shot out of a
cannon and landed thousands of miles away and like the
way he landed was with full force into a huge
like hippopotamus's breasts, and the hippo said, how da, And
that was the humor in the program.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
I don't even know what to say.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
There's nothing to say.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
The only thing to do is really react and take
it in and then you process at home.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yes I can't.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I let Blue I think is really sweet and yeah,
Blue Blue I love, but I just kind of TV
is a time for for mama to rest.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, she's watching Salt Lake.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
You were can you can you talk about this that
you were the most starstruck at the Culture Awards, which
you were phenomenal in by the way, I think you
for doing.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
That, Thank you for having me and that was such
a fun night.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Robin the Riddler's assistant.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
I didn't quite realize, like how many of them were
going to be there, you mean all.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Of them touring in Australia with Teresa.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
Looking down at the seats with the name. Yeah, I
didn't get it because it's a connection I have with
these people. It's broken the barrier something I didn't want
to cross it. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like
I want to meet them, but I don't want to
meet them.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I have to be in the TV, like you say
to those people like you.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
But then what I loved was we got to see
all the photos afterwards from the green room, and you
did get a picture with each and every one of them.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
And which you know made their life.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
Yeah, of course I didn't. Yeah, yeah, I wanted to.
I wanted to meet and greet every one of them. Yeah,
but I don't want to ask them questions. I don't
want to know about the show. I don't want to
know who knows what before the things like I I
don't care what's talked about. I don't I don't want
to know.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, no, no, no, no, because I'm the same way
like Matt will tell you that this people I'm most
stres struck are under the Housewives eighty. Briant is the
same way, and she was the same way at that night,
just like I can't believe all the Salt Lake City women.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
They're just being around sort of running running. The whole
show was really And by the way, have you started Traders?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
No, it's the one I haven't started, and I will.
Where should I start?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
I think I'm just going to tell this to you
because now this is going to come out like shortly.
But the thing is, like we now have seen the
first three episodes and so everyone out there, this isn't
a spoiler.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Lisa Rinna is a trader.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
Okay, they've chosen her as a trader and foric moment,
for I think anyone watching that knows exactly how well
they've done and making this decision. But to know that
she's going to be in charge of the gameplay, see, I.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Don't even really know what It's kind of like they
just tap your shoulder, right, and then you're there.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
To talk about good Look at that camera, say what
you think Traders is?

Speaker 4 (17:48):
No, it's everyone lives in a castle and people get
chosen to like kill people. Yes, nobody knows.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
No one knows.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
Even if you are a killer, you pretend like you're
not a killer. Yes, that's crucial, and then you kill
them by you.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Write them a letter.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
You write them so if you're if you're a trader,
you meet and what's called and this is real, that
you meet what's called the turret at night.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Pronounced like the tant by Alan by yes, yes, Scottish
icon coming and you watch them deliberate on who to kill.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Okay, and then the next morning at breakfast everyone shows up.
And then the person who doesn't show up at breakfast
everyone's like it was it was this person.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
And then there's there's also a British and Australian version
of the show. And when people don't come into breakfast
the next day and they realize who's murdered, people will
often say things like oh no.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
And then then the British host is a woman named
Claudia Winkleman Bady Winkleman, who is a Kristen Wig character
that you.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Need to look up. Claudia Winkleman. You actually have to.
Oh my god, Kristen, you have to.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
I will, because she walks into breakfast like this and
goes the traitors have murdered again.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
This is a tragedy of Titanic proportions.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
It's the traits are laughing at you. I can hear
them laughing.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
And then Tom Daily from the UK diver got eliminated
and she she he's She comes and announces he's dead,
and she goes he won gold for this country.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
That he won gold for this country.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
That I need to watch.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's Kristen.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Okay, can I ask you a question? When you went
on asked Harry Styles on the Tonight Show? Yes, you
did not know who Harry Styles was.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
I knew he was.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
I just did anything about you didn't know.

Speaker 4 (19:44):

least I want to say, like seven years. You told
a story on The Late Show with David.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Letterman's a really important moment about one of your first
jobs in LA being at Universal Studios.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, the park you started, as I can recall, you
started off at the You just called it the restaurant.
You will have to be more specific on which restaurant,
but we'll get back to that. And then you also
told the audience the world me that your other job
was that you.

Speaker 1 (20:48):

Speaker 1 (21:02):
This is correct.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
So your job was to corral Yes, and but then
you had a microphone that boomed your voice to the
entire party, and so would so you would say things
like come here, come here, or our favorite thing, the
thing that we've been quoting for the past for the
past several years is.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Hey, did you hear that there are mutants on the loops? Yes?
Quote people, our favorite face is this?

Speaker 4 (21:33):

And then I was like I want to perform. Yeah,
I got to move into the entertainment sect. Got a
job I auditioned for. They were going to do an

(22:04):
improv group at Yes for the park. Yeah, oh exactly.
Was not thought out. Well, we did not have a stage.
We were walking through the park, just started doing. You
realized doing improv is being somewhere getting a suggestion. So

(22:28):
literally we would be walking through the park and we'd
be like, hey, can I have a location? And it
would be like Home Depot and then they would like
walk away, and then maybe we'd start to do a
scene about home Depot. But then other people would walk
up and be like, who are these people? I don't
know where that what's the game? We would stop in

(22:49):
the middle of it. No one's watching who was originally there.
We trained were for weeks and auditioned for this. We
were like, this is our big break. We did it
for one day.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
What is this?

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Because we'd be like and then you'd see part of
the people and they're like rescuing someone from my boat.
And people were just like excuse me. Walking through the scene.
There was no stage nothing.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
So you do know how to tell a story?

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Look at that? Okay, well that okay, well I'm crying.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Wait.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
But then they said, they said to me, we are
doing this mex Men show on the lower lot. On
that there's ten escalators down. I think you're at the
bottom of universe. There's another there's another depth that's below.
It's still outdoors.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's yet more depths. Universal Studios.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
There was a stage and it was a show with
where the X Men would come out. But I my
name was like something Martine as something I did not
this was they gave me the name. I had a microphone.
It was dressed like a.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
Newscaster Doris Martin like that, something like that.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
And I came out and they were like, you got
to you got to bring the crowd into like the stage.
But it's just people walking around, so I would.

Speaker 6 (24:19):
Have to stay it on, like, oh, excuse me, hey, hell,
my name is.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
Martinez, and like, uh, did you hear there's a there's
a mutant on the loose. You guys, come on, it's
and and then I would be like point to the
stage and be like just wait right to wait right here,
and I would it was my job to get people
to come to the stage and wait and wait because
it was minutes. I had to do this for like minutes,

(24:46):
and then then music would start and storm and and woe.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Maybe we're just like he tends to go where the X.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Men walking through the park, not even on stage. I
just like improv and they're holding like a machine that's
like supposed to detect.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Mutant crime mutants.

Speaker 4 (25:11):
Yes, yes, so then they do that. They'd find like
they'd go up to like a little kid and pretend
to do whatever, and then and then the show's over.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
And then that's the show.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Okay, a mutant like try to raise this glass and
then the obviously it's not a pulley, which you.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Could say, and.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Then people would be like, oh my god, you're immune,
and then I had.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
To go mutant.

Speaker 4 (25:38):
Then the end of the show, I'd be like, thanks
for coming. Oh my god, it's Spider Man. And Spider
Man was standing on top of a building and you
know that song by is it Paramore?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
That's like.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yes, spider Man, spider Man, It's lay up on the
coming close and then it stops. Spider Man falls off
to the building into a puffy mattress that you can see.

(26:24):
So she's standing on a building like.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
This and the music cuts out. The music cuts out
as he lands, and.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Then it's over, and then it's everyone walks away and
thank you for coming. I go into the guest room thing,
and then I have to come out and do it
the next hour. It was like every hour we had
to do the show, thank you for coming.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
And then now did you ever find like, did you
ever feel like.

Speaker 4 (26:59):
Everyone just yeah, just like walks away, no music, just
like and then everyone walks away. This is okay that
I'm saying this.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Did you ever feel like it went well? Like you
never feel like? For children got thirty people to watch.

Speaker 4 (27:13):
It, because by the end of the summer, and this
was in the heat of yes, so hot, you know,
you start to get like loose with it. And the
kids who got they were like so excited. Come on,
I mute, that was fun.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
How many people on average would you corral in one show?

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I mean in the tens.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
And the tens is good. Well, people would.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Start to come like people would because it was a
show it had lights and it had all the X
Men were up there. You know.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Oh look spider Man is title of app. Oh look,
spider Man is the title.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
Oh look spider Man.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
How big was the stage? Was it the size of
this rug?

Speaker 4 (27:54):
No, it wasn't like two rugs.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
It was like at home. It was about two rugs
two rugs to Yeah. But the thing is, I want
to say.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
I loved working at Universal, though I could tell.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
It sounds like it was really fun.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
What kind of movie studio was so fun? I also
catered there, so I would like, you know, drive the
little golf carts around.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
The first time I went on the Universal lot, it
was to audition. They were going to reboot Blind Date
and I auditioned to be the host. And it was
like this weird like they driving around on the cart,
like there is like a glamour to it. It's what
you always wish for. And I remember thinking the same
thing when we were doing Palm Royal on the Warner
Brothers lot.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
I remember we were.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
All in costume and then it was across the street
from Abbot Elementary and they're a great vibe. That whole
cast is like incredible. You guys are all incredible. It
felt like really really fun. And then I remember everyone's
like in costume whatever, and then the tram went by
and I was like, oh wow, Like that was really
a cool moment of being on a real lot. And

(28:59):
like the fact that like it's just Palm Royal is
like such a realized like the costumes are incredible, all
the departments are doing like such incredible work. Amazing, And
to be able to do that on the lot coming
from you know what you started your career doing.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
That's like a really full circle. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
And and and being on a lot, like like you said,
there's so many other shows, I think the shooting there
so you see people walking around with like bandages on,
and like like, oh my.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
God, the aed Elementary three different world. You can do
anything on a lot.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
You really can shoot. Let's shoot in La everybody. That's beautiful.
Thank you for giving us more color and detail because
I've been thinking about that, just you saying, did you hear.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
There are mutants on the list?

Speaker 4 (29:43):
There's mutants on the list, But you just watch the
show to figure it out.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
You got to figure out. You know, there's there's going
to be some really stress did.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
You hear.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Speaking?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
But speaking of your earlier life, have you heard like
one of the things I wanted to ask you about
for a very long time and I've never brought up
to you, And I don't know if you even know this,
but one of my favorite shows in the beginning, like
when I was like when I first got like a
TV in my room and could like post up and
watch the show all day was something called the Joe
Schmoe Show and it was on the Man it.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
Was it was on Spike TV. Spike TV, so it
was on Spike TV.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
Back.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
This is the thing I remember.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
I would like because I was like had a TV
in my room, I was flashing back, which in like
Spike TV and E like remember.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
When Howard Stern was on E Night.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Yes, but like such like an adult in my room
with a TV. I got obsessed with the Joe Schmoe
Show and you were on the Joe schmo Show. Do
you want to describe what the Joe Schmoe Show was
and what your role on it was.

Speaker 4 (30:43):
Yes, it was a reality show, but it was all improvisers,
kind of like the Jury the Jury Jury Duty. Yes, perfect, perfect,
I think I haven't seen it was one one guy
that thought it was real.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
He thought he was on a show called Lap of Luxury.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yes, and we were all improvisers and we had to Yes.
And my character, her name was a doctor, doctor Pat,
and she was a marriage counselor that was like married
like six times.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
She was a marriage counselor that had been married many
many times. Yes, And I remember you were on the
show and it was like so basically their job is
to like convince this person that they're in a real
reality competition show. And he's the only one who's doing
it for real. They're playing characters and I.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
I wouldn't do it again. I love everyone involved, but
I have my conscience. I felt I felt bad.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Well basically you had you felt bad. It's a version
of Traders, by the way, very much show. Yes, But
but the thing was there was a physical challenge where
they were all in sumo wrestling outfits and Kristin was
in assumer wrestling off as doctor Pat and she was
up against the guy who was you know the joke,
and during the competition he knocked the wind out of

(32:08):
you so hard during that.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
You want to go to the hospital and leave the show.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
What And I'll never forget you stayed in character while
you were knocked out, and you said over and over again, oh,
my stars, my stars, oh my stars.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
I because the costume. It was one of those summer
things where there's space on the on the back. And
so I got yes and I got like fully whipped,
fully whipped, and I had to fuck.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
And you stayed in character as doctor fucking you would
have been I would have been in character. Well no,
because she.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
She was like very docile. Yes, I see, she was
a kay, I'm doctor pat you know what.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
It was very Kristen was doing like like early Kristin,
like hello, yes, yes, please, like let me know if
you have any problems.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I've been married six times, but I have a lot
of experience.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
That is so funny that you watched It was my
first thing I in fact, that was the show that
I got. Uh that That's when I left Universal. When
I was waiting tables, I was.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Like, I've made made no but those those jobs are
really fucking huge.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
It was like it was a good advise it. You know,
it was like it was a paying com It was
a paying job for the first time in my life.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
When did you encount the walking around doing imbrava Universals,
like the first counted.

Speaker 4 (33:34):
The first time, like it was filmed, you know, like
you know.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Yes, yes this was breakthrough.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Yes that was live perform because I agree with you,
like I totally understand you not wanting to do that
today because I watched Jerry Duty and it was like
the first of all because of my stars, you staying
in character.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Just give this woman the After Award now already.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
And I watched Jerry Duty and I was like, I
don't know how James Marsden, like I don't have any
of these people are like pulling this off.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
They are incredible eating modica, Oh.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
No judgment, Like it's just for me. I am I'm
too sensitive. I can't my nervous system, yeah can handle it.

Speaker 3 (34:16):
And also a little bit like once you start. I
felt this way when I was doing the prank calls
for L magazine. I was like really nervous. I was like,
oh god, I don't want to do this. I'm a
very empathetic person. I don't want people to be stressed out.
And then like you start and you're like, oh no,
I'm too good at it.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
That's the thing. You were good at it.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
You were doctor pat Oh my stars oh my stars,
oh my stars, Oh my, I'll never forget.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
And then you got on SNL.

Speaker 3 (34:43):
What was it like a few years after that, Like,
you can't have been super long after that is years.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
My time is really bad.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
I may have been one of the only people that
was like, oh my god, that's doctor Pat.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
You were the only person.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
I think doctor Pat. It's a new star of Saturday
Night Live. Oh my stars, are my stars?

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Was was you being something Martinez helping to pay for
groundling classes or was that not the store?

Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah, that I did not have a job.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
That was beautiful.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
To get that job felt like I was, Yeah, it
was like a working I was making money and I
was you know, when you're starting out, it was like
a big deal.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Of course, anything any anything you can get paid doing
that is not a survival job at that point.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
It feels like and I made it moment.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because I remember our first paycheck.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
I mean I have like romantic thoughts of those days too,
because it's like when Matt and I got our first
paycheck from Story Pirates, were like, this is technically our
first yeah, paying like comedy and it was thirty bucks.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
It was thirty thirty dollars.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Oh I did it, Yeah, yes.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yeah I had.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
I had a tour guide job in New York that
was that was like on a bus and it was
like it wasn't good money, but I felt like it
was all worth it just to even be able to
do anything in a way where they were like paying
me to do that.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
While I remember missing. Let's ask Kristen the question.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
It's time, Kristen Wig, what was the culture that made
you say culture was for you?

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Okay? I think is it okay if I pick a movie, yes,
it's more than okay. Well I have to a combination
of Annie and Greece, because I think Annie for me
was like, oh I want to do that. Why didn't
I get to audition for this? Even though I've never.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Acted in my life?

Speaker 4 (36:38):
It's too late. Adult Annie could.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Think, yes, I was just going to say.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
And then Greece for me, I have I have a
love for Aliving Newton, John though neave me. There was
something about the the high school aspect of it. What
high school could be John Travolta and then her Obviously,

(37:08):
don't just change your identity for a man totally, that's
not really the lesson, but there was so bad about
her becoming this like sexual thing and not giving a
shit that I was like, I just love that was
the ending of that movie, if that makes sense. And

(37:30):
I I love musicals. I love when everyone's getting up
and singing together and dancing and it just makes me
so happy. And I imagine what it's like on the
set with everyone like rehearsing and even es and no,
when we would do like dance stuff those rehearsals, Like
that is I live for that stuff. I love that stuff.
I don't know if this is a good answer, So

(37:51):
I just remember that that Annie and Greece both musicals,
both stories about you know, people wanting something more and
singing about it. There's just something about that that I
was like, I don't know, I just I realized how
much entertainment could like affect me. And I think that's

(38:12):
that's for sure. Even though I didn't want to look
at it, that was the seed that was Planner was.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Like, I want to do this, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes yes yeah, because there's stories about these women and
girls who want to be part of something that they
didn't realize was available to them.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, and they want love and they want love.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
I don't know. I just don't we all and.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Don't we all?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
And it don't all I'm going to bring him into this,
isn't Lorneo kind of like a Daddy Warbucks?

Speaker 4 (38:36):
One hundred percent?

Speaker 1 (38:38):
Yes, and we're all little orphans?

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Yes? Have you said that before?

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Have you said that to him? Because I'm sure he
would really like to hear it. Lorne you're kind of
like a daddy, You're like Daddy war Back.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well, I don't know about that.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Well, I don't know about Daddy war I mean, you
do feel like a bunch of kids that live together
when you're on that totally for sure.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
And it is like a let's go to the movies,
But I show like, yeah, I just was let's go
to the movies.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Not in the stage version of Annie. That was just
in the in like the eighties.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Oh god, I don't.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Know, I think so. I know there were songs that
weren't in the original show.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
It's been a long time since I've seen what was
a lot time you saw.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Any I've seen like clips of it recently a minute,
but I haven't watched it from the very very beginning.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
You must truly trip being around Carol Burnett, so.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
By the way her performance in that oscar Worthy now
what what she read and then what she did and
knowing her now like I I mean you got to.

Speaker 3 (39:41):
I got exactly, uh probably two minutes with her and
we took a picture because I was interested as her
and Abe was like, I just Abe was like, who's
the creator of the show? Was like, she is going
to get a kick out of this, She's like and
I remember he was like, can you stay in costume
for like a couple hours while she gets here?

Speaker 4 (39:59):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (39:59):
And I was just like I would do anything for her.
And so it was like it was like the mustache
and all the stuff. I had, the prosthetic key stuff
underneath her whole costume. But I was like, I will
sit here for three days waiting for her to come
because she is beyond a queen.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
And lovely and hold your hands.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
She's just so great. And so I was thinking, like,
what you're saying is so true. She's an inventor like that.
It goes beyond contributions. It is it is why we
are able to contribute this because of you know, people
like her.

Speaker 4 (40:35):
I agree, and as a woman the first show.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
It's like her, it's Chaer who just say, you know what,
I like the stand and Deliver look amazing in a
fucking Bob mackiew dress.

Speaker 1 (40:49):
Carol, I can't believe it, you.

Speaker 4 (40:52):
Know, I just love her. I love her so much.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
She's and you know, just like the whole, the whole,
like idea that you know, she's become like obviously the
antagonist of the show and get to do this hilarious.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
She's like the nicest person in the world and you
play someone so awful you.

Speaker 1 (41:08):
Can tell do you believe in that? Though?

Speaker 3 (41:10):
It's like so I think it was Tina actually who said,
like when she was trying to cast Regina George, she
was like, we need to find the nicest person in
the world to come in and do this, because it
is truly kind people that understand and are able to
walk away from and go in and out and see
cruelty people and cruelty from different interesting dimensions because it's
not something they're embodying, it's something they're exploring.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Wise woman, Wow two wise to And then on the
grease thing, it's like, uh, Sandra d turning into Sandy
is like that is the fantasy for ever, not just
like girls, but like everybody, like especially for like gay guys.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It's like you watch Grease and like, yeah, Danny Gray,
but I'm like, it's it's Sandra and it's Zo.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
But it's like it's like it's.

Speaker 3 (41:57):
Just I was just gonna say, let's put some respect
on Stockard's name. We got we gotta let We'll be
love stalk every time. But just that that's such a
fucking good ensemble. And so is Annie obviously, but like
I totally get it, man, Like I'm just watching Greece
for the first time.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Yeah, I felt something.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yeah, I think it's one of those things like when
it's on, do you find you know, every line of
dialogue it's crazy, kind of.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Like sexy sexy, you know, when Rizzo and and Kaniki
doing their things.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Yeah, nev summer Love and it's like, wait, like they're
talking about well, well, well huh, I mean Grease Lightning. Oh,
that's a whole that's a whole text. Grease Wagon, Greece,
Grease Wagon, Grease Wagon. And they're like, hey, you said Greece.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Wagon again the original version when they were gonna have
a station wagon and.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Just it's grease Wagon.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
My high school wouldn't do grease because it was so
we had a conservative super and.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
We had a very conservative super you know.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
So what we did was we did all these like
very racially problematic shows.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
We did The King and I, we did the Whiz.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Like all these things that everyone even then in like
two thousand and five, was like, hey, I don't know
if Tina, like this girl I knew, can be doing
this thing she's doing in like this part of the.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
King, and I like, I just don't know.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
But absolutely those were totally about war, without question.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
And what we could not do was Grease Wagon now.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
And you know what, I think that's that superintendent retired
and then suddenly they were doing Greece and I was like.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Well, that superintendent's doing Greece.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Whatever he is, I hope he's doing Greece. Hey, do Grease.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
It's the new kick Rocks Green, hit the streets and
do Greece, fucking loser. What I've always appreciated because I
think it's awesome that you like and I can recognize
the music in you. Because what I've loved about about

(44:17):
you always, but especially like your tenure at Esnel is
it felt like all the female cast members at that
time were very musical, and I remember Santa's my boyfriend,
and like that was I believe you Amy and Maya.
But then you know, like Kate was musical eighties musical,
Cecily is very musical, and it's just fabby Casey, you

(44:41):
know what I mean, Like on and on and on
and on. But it just felt like a really good,
like musical time because it felt like it was all
of your genuine interests, like I would imagine obviously those
things don't happen, and you as well, you know what
I mean, Like you're always bringing music to the show,
like and you're so capable of doing it. But I,
as a fan of the show and a fan of
musical comedy, always so happy that people that loved music

(45:02):
and really wanted to perform in that way were on
the show because it gives it a whole other dimension.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I think totally. You know who.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Oftentimes like bringing those pieces together were these straight boy
kings Colin jo Justin John Maliney like they were just
like because they like musicals too, luckily, and then they
just like they like they're like okay, and you know,
Kristen can do this, and like for me, they're like
can you sing? Like suddenly Seymour and like sure, and
like it's just they just know how to like position

(45:29):
everybody in that way.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
I agree, But I to have that in the show,
like to have that one little special thing. Even watching now,
it's like, oh, I bet they like rehearse this and
yeah they're little dancing Tarin too, Yes, and Vanessa, like
everyone was always committing to totally whatever it is they
were being.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
That was just like when Seth was on, we said this,
but like that was such a peak cast. Like I
tell everyone that I believe I told you this. But
I was at the episode which was Anne Hathaway and
the Killers. This was the very first I was there
in the audience, and it was the very first time
you ever did the Lawrence Welk show. And I remember
at the end the Killers did like an encore. Oh

(46:08):
then Jeth said it was the only time that the
studio audience stood up and gave a standing ovation. And
I was in the audience, and I remember that felt
like such a I don't think I've ever felt the
way that I felt watching you do Lawrence Welk. Oh,
my god, no, truly. I mean I think it altered
the course of my life. And so many people watching
that didn't have to be in the room in the vicinity,
but like, that was a very special cast and that

(46:30):
was a very special sketch and series of sketches and
a moment in culture because it was two thousand and
eight at the time as well, like.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
And O, there's other fun details that you were sitting
next to Emma Stone.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
Yeah, that is crazy wild, but like what do you
remember about that time?

Speaker 4 (46:48):
Honestly, like career wise, like best beers of my life
the hands down, hands down, because you know you're it's
it's like you move in with these people and then
seven years later you pack up your room and then
you have to move somewhere else, but you do feel

(47:09):
like you are living with them the time in between sketches,
Like there'd be a day you'd have to rehearse at
nine am and you'd look at the rundown and you
don't have to rehearse again until like four and you're
secretly like and then you look and see who else
is off and you all go hang out and you
just like, oh, it was just it was the best time,

(47:29):
because I think too feeling okay to fail was something
that I had to that's hard to do. I feel
that way now and in my life, to be totally honest,
but having that read through writing something and you're like this,

(47:51):
no one's gonna laugh at this, this is gonna be
totally silent, but it's okay because you're looking around the
room at and like all of these people and everyone's
got things at work, everyone's got things that don't and
you realize, like, oh, that's just part of like figuring
out what what will get on or what is funny.

(48:12):
And to be able to have a space where you
can go and not do a good job and feel
okay is so rare.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
Oh my god, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (48:24):
Of course, yeah, And I kind of I kind of
embrace the times it's funnier to sort of it's more
of a bonding experience to fail and bomb at that
because Celeste and I will and Sudie and I will
just like laugh. Oh my god, remember that fucking sketch
and how it was silent, Like there's something, there's like

(48:45):
a there's like a crucible you walk through in that moment.
But like, I how often would you feel like you
were reading something before read through and like no one's
gonna laugh at this because I have time.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Really, Oh my god, I would never read something and
be like this is gonna.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
Go sure, sure, because you never never know.

Speaker 4 (49:02):
Because I think that's the other thing you learn. You
can write something and be like I think this has
a shot, and it's it's no. And then there's the
one where you try to pull it and they're like, sorry,
it's already in the pack and it's on the show
and it's on just the one that you're doing. You
have I have no gauge, Yes, I have no.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
It's completely unpredictable because it can go through whatever. It
can hit any station and land and be the be
at the terminus of any path where it's like, it
does great at read through, it does terrible at blocking,
it does great address, it does poorly at air. All
that it has, there's every permutation of that thing happens

(49:45):
at various stages. Like my therapist and I talk about this,
it's like you have so many occasions for like validation
or rejection and failure, and it teaches you a lot
about like how.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
The world works.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
I want to say, yeah, but I'm so surprised at
this because is I feel like you and Amy were
talking about this on her pod where it's like and
what it is true? And I think you know this
and I hope you own this. It's like you were
I think you were the you were the cast member
to come in fully formed, fully realized, with the point
of view already.

Speaker 4 (50:15):
I mean, I don't feel that way. That's interesting only
because I learned so much. And I remember because I
auditioned twice. Yeah, and I remember when they had me
come back for the second one. I was like, what
do you mean, I like, I did everything exactly. I
did everything. Yeah, I literally did every character that I
have and three seasons in having a like breakdown, being

(50:36):
like I've done I've done every voice, I have nothing.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Have you talked about this the three season in thing
like this note, did you have a breakdown? Well, I've
certainly had that thing. I think in my second season,
I was like, I did everything for my audition.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
Yeah, that's it. That's how you feel. And then you
and then that's that that hump you get over with
also the help of other people being like can you
play blah blah blah? And you're like, well, I will see,
and then you end up trying or doing it. It
doesn't always work, but and then you just like find
new things and then you find other ways to find

(51:12):
characters like it. It became not just vocal, right, it
became like physical, like I remember I think it was
I was in Paula Pel's office or James, I can't remember,
but the like that don't make me sing. That came
from like just standing like let's just do something that
someone stands like this, because I was like, I'm out
of like I'm out.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Of things to do or you know what I'm saying,
But you know what blows my mind.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
And I don't think I've talked about this, and I
don't even think I've brought this up to you. But
I was just so curious about the Rebecca LaRue I
was gonna say saying the Floating Expert, which was your
last season, I think one of your last update features.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
I was like, how did this play a dress?

Speaker 2 (51:55):
And I will say I watched back because we have
the dress footage from every single episode of SNL on.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
This database book. I will miss.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
That's the thing I will miss the most. Oh yeah,
it's the Server because it just it's comedy history. It's
like the scripts of like Mark cow Bell, like wow,
Farwell writing that on his own, like you see, I'm like,
oh my god, like you just there's just so much
to It's like a library. It's a bell in the
library and beating the beast. But Rebecca LaRue, I would
say address, I was shocked and I'm just saying this,

(52:25):
I don't think it really played. And then on air
you just I don't know what you guys did.

Speaker 4 (52:31):
It didn't play, was going to.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
Go for it, but you figured it out within what
like forty five minutes to an hour.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
That's incredible.

Speaker 4 (52:39):
Oh yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't remember that.

Speaker 3 (52:41):
Okay, it's my top three characters that you've never the
entire show. Yeah, the flirting extra Rebecca LaRue because of
because this is I think one of the keys to
a great update piece for me as a viewer is
how an element of it is, how you guys interact
with whoever the weekend up did come is. And the
way that Rebecca LaRue and Seth he even said this on

(53:04):
his episode of our show, was like an indictment of
the girls he was dating at the time. It was
so funny because you could tell there was like a
friendly like energy there that felt personal. That was weirdly
parasocial then for us as an audience that watches you
guys week in and week out, because you could tell
that was a little bit true.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Yes, in the way he was flustered, but.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
It's just I was just like noting the difference, and
I hope you don't mind me saying like the feeling
watching dress was like, why are they laughing about this?

Speaker 4 (53:36):
I have no I have no memory, right.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Oh, and I also love what you tried to impart
me and I did not take to heart, which was like,
don't read like the reviews and the comments and the feedback,
because that is the thing that I think like took
me a long time to get over and was like,
you just have to remember it as your own experience.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
And the ones that are bad go through a certain
synaps they print out and they stay in a file
and you can access it at any point and you
can see every word and the good ones go away.
And I was, I mean, I'm aging myself. Did we

(54:15):
have the internet when I was but like, did we?
We kind of did, but like there wasn't there was
like two reviews, Yeah, but we did we?

Speaker 7 (54:25):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yet definitely certainly I.

Speaker 4 (54:28):
Was on nineteen sixty four. I mean, I know we
had the Internet, but it wasn't so much like blogging
and social media. Say that's what I'm saying. I mean,
of course we had the computers, but did we have
the internet? Please? And I never watched the show when

(54:48):
I was on because I didn't want to, like see
what I looked at there. Most of the things I've
done I've never seen really Bridesmaids. I've seen brides yeah,
because I just mean like on SNL.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (55:02):
Yeah, so I couldn't watch it the next day or
or watch it in between, for I couldn't. I couldn't
do that.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
That's holding something very sacred in terms of like the theater.

Speaker 4 (55:13):
Theater of it. Yes, yeah, that's that's you're doing a
live show in front of an audience. They're the ones
you know. But then yes, millions of people are watching. Yes, yes, yes,
the energy when you're there, when you're on stage, your
first thought isn't this is on TV? Yeah, You're like, oh,

(55:34):
I can see Jenna, I can see the crowd. I
can see the people in their costumes waiting to come in.
It feels very it is. It's like theater.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
It's like theater and the good thing that got me
And I've talked about this with Matt last week and
like my exit interview, it's like the thing that destroyed
me was just looking out on my last sketch during
my last catch and seeing basically the whole staff show up,
and I was like, oh this And it had nothing
to do with what was gonna maybe be said about
it online or what the reviews would be. It was

(56:03):
just spatially in the room.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
That's what It totally healed all of these wounds from
the past seven years where I would like really care
about what people thought.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
And when I realized what.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
I would tell what I would tell the new cast
on my way out what I told them was because
they would approach me and they were like, how do
you like? This is really weird, Like how do you
deal with this? And I was like, there's three audiences
who are watching. It's the people in the room and
kind of the people at home. It's the Internet, which
is this like voice that just wants to it is

(56:36):
incentivized to say something like that takes it down or
devalues it. And then there's the people who make decisions,
have the power to make decisions for you who can
like help you materially find interesting things or whatever. And
only two of those audiences matter, like the internet. One
doesn't really matter, and.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
So don't look in some ways it doesn't. It just doesn't,
right exactly? I agree, Yeah, which is yeah. I remember
when when we were talking on set of Pam Royal,
you were like you said to me, like I knew
I would love Bowen because I feel like we like
the same stuff, And.

Speaker 3 (57:13):
I what did you mean by that? And what what
do you guys think do you have in common? Because
I think it meant beyond comedy.

Speaker 4 (57:19):
Well it was a sense of humor for sure, but
also just you and I interacting in between sketches. Yes,
I feel like we didn't even have to like say
much and we were just laughing and I just felt
a it's kind of even hard to describe. It's like
when you probably when you guys met, right, It's like

(57:39):
you just feel like.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Oh hey, hey, there's non verbal stuff.

Speaker 4 (57:44):
And also being on that show, you do feel like
you're already in a little like army together, you.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
Know, So this is this is this is my thing,
this is maybe what you meant, this is what it
means to me, which was the first time you came back?
Was COVID Christmas December twenty twenty. Oh god, and it was.
And dou Aleipa was a musical.

Speaker 1 (58:03):
Yes, Marjorie, this was a classic. People. People don't talk
about this one as much as they should. I'm not
even talking about this sketch.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
I'm talking about yes, Kristin and I watching dou Aleipa
sing on stage and us going, oh.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
My god, that's Dualipa.

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Yeah yeah, and we were all on and my other
thought was like, we're like the only people in the
world watching live music right now?

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Yeah? Yeah, that was levitating, right, that was levitating that hat.
Don't start now. It was amazing. I loved both those performances.

Speaker 4 (58:29):
Based off watching her every time. I loved it.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
I went to go see her Radical Optimism tour and
it was really great.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
And I watched this like long this whiptologist. I watched
like this.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
There's this hugeber who was like, oh, like doing long
form videos about like, you know, like pop music, and
he was like, do a Lipa is a category five
pop star. This means that she will things move around her,
you know what I mean? No, No, it was very nice.
It was basically saying like it's like the certain levels
of artists where they don't necessarily have to worry about

(59:04):
proving themselves ever. It's just like they can come and
sort of like, you know, decide what's going to be
the tone based on moves they make.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
And I agree.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
The argument was that she has gotten to this place
where she's always going to be reliably dua lipa, yes,
because she's due a lipa yeah.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Yeah, and she's really good. Really birth birthday? What sign
is that.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
It's a leo virgo cuss leo virgo cuss.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Yeah, that's really really good? Is it? What is it?

Speaker 3 (59:39):
August twenty second, eight twenty two? Why do I feel
like that's an auspicious day?

Speaker 1 (59:45):
Just feels nice?

Speaker 4 (59:46):
There's a double a double digch Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (59:48):
Twenty two is my favorite number and I have it.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
It's my favorite number.

Speaker 1 (59:51):
Stop what about it?

Speaker 4 (59:52):
Well, it's my birthday. But also I see it. I
see it when I need to see it, like, wow,
I need.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
At right now, I need to Oh, maybe I needed
to see it too. Yeah, I think I like the Well,
it was my baseball jersey growing up. Oh, I didn't know.
That Yep, this is beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:00:10):
See, we're all connected.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
We're all connected, and people are like, is that a
Taylor Swift tattoo? And I'm like, no, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:00:15):
But when I went to the aerostour and she's sang
in twenty two, I definitely went like this, You for
sure did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
I kind of thought.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
When you said you liked all this like cool, all
the same stuff, I was like.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Well, they both like cool music. I feel like you
guys are both like cool when it comes to me
just fallen off. I've kind of fawn off too, but
even that is cool. You guys like like cool bands
and stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
No, I'm listening to like eighties Japanese city pop.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
That's all I listened to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:45):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:45):
I'm still streaming espresso. It's okay, think about me.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
It doesn't get old.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
I feel like they famously did an espresso sketch. But
I feel like, if Espresso is on when you're on SNL,
you do something with espresso.

Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
What do you mean I don't like you?

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
You do a character that's something to dances to espresso
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
Okay, okay talking.

Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I'm inspired by you, and that's why I literally came
up with the Robin the Riddler's Assistant thing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
I was like, it was so fun. I am inspired,
we are inspired by you.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
We'd like to be a writers because when we pitched
Rob because we had to get on zoom with you
and like, it's this idea and we.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Were like pitching a character Kristin Wig, We're like, we're
pitching a character to Kristin Wig and there's a chance
she is like, what the fuck are you guys talking.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
Which would have been really hard. That would have been
really hard.

Speaker 2 (01:01:35):
But you immediately like snapped in and you were like,
oh my god, Robin, I get it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
It's funny. I think this is what it is. Yes, okay, great, Yes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
We were like yes, and then it was like we
were like working on this with you, Oh my god.
And then another thing that I will never forget is
remember the four versions of the presenter copy we had
for the Emmys that one year because we weren't sure
if Ma was gonna make it because she was sick.
Seth was maybe not gonna be able to do it
because see, like what was flying but it was me.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
It was just me. I can't believe this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
It was me, you, Seth and Maya presenting like walking
up doing like a bit about Lorne Yes, I'm looking
winning too many Emmys or something. But you and I,
Kristin and I were in that dressing room with our pencils,
with our pencils, while Matt Boehmer was sitting in the
on the other corner, like wanting to say hi to us,
and We're like, we're in the middle of something.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
Matt, just one sure we said hello.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
We said hello, weren't we weren't the nicest nicest we
said hi. But you and I were like locked.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
We got to get it because guess what we got
to rewrite this.

Speaker 2 (01:02:39):
We had to rewrite it. Not that not that we
were given like bad copy, but the show. No, it
was just like we there's four different versions where it
was if if Lauren didn't win the Emmy, because it
was on the it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
Was after if he didn't win, if he did win Coy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
We had four different versions of the copy ready to go,
and you and I had to like sit there and
like right, I was like I can't believe I'm I'm
doing four versions of presenter copy with Kristen.

Speaker 1 (01:03:06):
I was like, this is surreal.

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
It's so fun.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
But it was so fun You're the best. You're our hero.

Speaker 3 (01:03:10):
I just like, and I feel like on Palm Royal too,
You're so like it was.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
Just bringing it back Elliot.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
We just I was just like.

Speaker 3 (01:03:19):
What I was like, the coolest part of it was
just like being on set and seeing you like try
to figure out or finesse certain things.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
It's just it's just really cool to me.

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
You were incredible, and I got so many texts about
how funny you were and great, and Abe obviously just
loves you. Heads I love much fun working with you,
and even in that scene with Kai in the bedroom
and you and I just kind of like running around
and doing your own things.

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
I think that was my favorite. My favorite day was
us behind the ledge talking and I don't know they
were there were several.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
Favorites doing the like Calm to the Top, that was
all that was all that he just started doing it.
He just started going come to the top and everyone else.

Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
It's a great atmosphere.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
And also it's like it feels like a really fun,
playful atmosphere where you could come up with something like
that and it would be like entrusted as a member
of the group to like pitch something like that. But
it's also kind of I had never experienced that energy
with something that had that much budget. I was like, wow,
like this is like because we were talking earlier about
being on set like that's a big old show, yea.

(01:04:22):
And to still have that playful energy, I think is
a testament to you and to aim and to all
the cast and all the departments that provide the the
malleability for something like that, because that wasn't that wasn't
in the script at all. Yeah, and then it became
the whole entry point into our meat Cute, which was blassed.

Speaker 2 (01:04:43):
It's a period comedy with with just a sense of
fun and kitchiness and just it's so delicious. It's like
we don't it's a unicorn. It's a rare thing. And
like it's like, I'm so happy it's it exists. I
can't believe you guys are both in it doing a
two hand er episode all the way through, Like I'm

(01:05:05):
telling you, I was. I was watching and I was like,
this is heaven, Like I'm these two people that I love. Anyway,
palm Riel, it's out, Let's move on to I don't
think so, honey, palm.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
Riel is out is out?

Speaker 3 (01:05:16):
No I'm saying, pri I'm just, I'm just, I'm I'm
sure it's being curious, it's it's by the time this
airs the whole.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
It's officially all right.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
I don't know what day it is, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
It's out. Yes, I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Okay, so it's I don't think so honey.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
Okay, this is a big moment because it's a moment
where we sort of say our takes, and sometimes those
takes include a little bit of.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
A take down.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
So this is a sixty second segment where we sort
of pop off about something that's bothering us in culture,
and I'm going to talk about the way I engage.

Speaker 2 (01:06:01):
Here we go, Oh my gosh, Yeah, this is exciting.
This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so many as
time starts now, I.

Speaker 3 (01:06:06):
Don't think, so honey my fat thumbs because I can't
send a text without it indenting wildly. And I do
think it's because they're fat, because I don't think, so honey,
that it's that I have to utilize my fingers differently.
I think they're just a little chunker. No, And I'm
telling you like it's impossible for me on the first

(01:06:27):
try to get a text right. Always it always looks
like a high coup When I text am I wrong?
Or am I wrong? It'll be on like four different
lines wrong. So I don't think, so, honey, thirty seconds thumbs,
because sometimes you need to use your thumbs to you know, engage,
comment address, And I got my chunkers in the way,
and I'm trying to get things done here, and then

(01:06:48):
I think, you know what, maybe your thumbs are trying
to tell you some fifteen seconds. Put the phone down. Oh,
don't even pick up the phone. Your thumbs. It's evolution.
It's saying you were evolving out five seconds the discourse.
Put the phone down. My thumbs are getting bigger and bigger.
I think all of our brains are getting smaller and smaller,

(01:07:09):
and I think that is a correlation. I don't think,
so honey, that we need that we ignore this. If
your thumbs are too fat to type, maybe it's because
your body is doing you a favor by evolving out
of engagement.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
If you're that's one minute.

Speaker 3 (01:07:22):
If your if your thumbs are too fat, natural selection
will be good to you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
That's what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:07:27):
If you can see them from the front. Wait till
you see them from the back. That is a That
is a line about thumbs. I don't want you to
talk badly about your thumbs. I think that way.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
Your thumbs are on the thinner side.

Speaker 1 (01:07:41):
You think so.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
But here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
If you do exactly, I believe, make.

Speaker 4 (01:07:47):
Your text bigger. You know how you can make your
text bigger. I think, doesn't the keyboard get bigger?

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
No it can't.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Possibly it's in real estate. But you it's it's it's angle.
I'm looking at our and we have the same sized thumb.
When I was thirteen, I thought that I was gay.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Match up to No, you have a beautiful, beautiful thumb. No,
we're waiting three beautiful thumbs. But do you find beautiful?
Do you find that this is a problem you face
as well?

Speaker 4 (01:08:17):
Do you want to know something?

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
What?

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
Sometimes I text with these fingers?

Speaker 1 (01:08:20):
Stop it now, that's cheek.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
I saw a woman do it, and I said I'm
going to start.

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Doing I want to be like Mike. And that woman
was my friend Jessica.

Speaker 4 (01:08:32):
She holds her phone like this and she goes like this.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
That's nice, like an instrument, she said. She said in
an important text though she's a boss.

Speaker 4 (01:08:40):
Yeah, she's not using her thumbs. It's very two thousand
and twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
It's very two thousand and late. Jessica Jessica Simpson. No,
you guys have a.

Speaker 4 (01:08:52):
I don't know why Jessica Simpson text.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
I bet she texts like this, Hey, Sirius, send a
text you, Ashley Simpson, Hey, sister, was just wondering how
you were doing today.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Send and then Ashley says in response like this, Hey,
fuck her a rebel. Just kidding.

Speaker 3 (01:09:15):
This is like more than two thousand and four personas
that I'm I'm sure they've both grown, changed, evolved or not,
and that will be fine because they were perfect already.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
You would have written a killer fanfic about the Simpsons.

Speaker 3 (01:09:27):
Who says I didn't Oh, who says I did it?
Under a pseudonym I didn't. I have something? And I hope,
I hope. I hope this enacts change. I don't think
that you should judge it.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Just just let it do what it's gonna because this
is going.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
Out into this is going out into the wild West.
If it's gonna enact change, that's what I'm supposed to do.
I think it will just don't be disappointed. I think
it should. Okay, thank you, this is Bowen Yang's. I
don't think so, honey. His time starts now.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
I don't think so, honey.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
The word squeegeee because the thing that it is should
not be called that. It should be called a glass scraper,
a water shovel, a.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
Wipe, a wipe downer. Not who came up with squeegee?

Speaker 3 (01:10:19):
Who pointed that because a linguistic thing is the concept
should match the name right where there's a distance thing.
Squeegee should be a dog toy, a children's game, my name,
dress ball, Matt's name, Yeah, a little pet name for
something your loved one off squeegee squeegee Instead, it's the

(01:10:39):
most uncute.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
Thing in the world.

Speaker 2 (01:10:42):
Is a wide rubbery thing to like wipe down your
windshields or your showers.

Speaker 1 (01:10:50):
I don't understand.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
I think we really should decouple squeegee the word from
squeegee the thing and just take a new pass at
those names.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
That's one of many do we name everything?

Speaker 3 (01:11:01):
I love the word sweegee, but I do wonder if
it should be something else, Like it feels like it
should be what a sponge just called. Yeah, a sponge
should be a squeegee. Yes, this is a squeegee motion.

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
That's a verb, Like that's what you do to a
sponge squeeze.

Speaker 1 (01:11:22):
Well, did you squeegee it out? Because it's still is
that sponge wet?

Speaker 4 (01:11:25):
Give it a squeege? See, oh you want me to
do it?

Speaker 1 (01:11:29):
See this is very James Anderson. Hey, could you give
a little squeege instead of squeeze?

Speaker 4 (01:11:34):
My names Janelle's squeege Janelle squeege. No.

Speaker 3 (01:11:39):
One of his final names that never saw the light
of day during his final season was Yolanda releasings. Yolanda releasings.
That's like beginning, that's like mis beginnings, Chang Yolanda releasing. Yeah,
the jarrand releasings, like.

Speaker 1 (01:12:05):
Releasing is a noun, Like that's so weird anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
I do think also in the James Anderson canon is
something like squeegee Saint.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Regis see St. Regions, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
Like that's like something that he would float around squeegee
Adams what a talent with like three d's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
Are you ready? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:12:23):
Okay, So I just start by saying I don't think so, honey,
you get to say okay, we're going to say okay.
I don't think okay.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
This is Kristen Wiggs. I don't think so honey, and
her time starts now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:34):
I don't think so honey. I need snack companies, preferably
chips and popcorn, to stop creating flavors. I back in
the day, you wanted to get a popcorn. You get
a plane, you get a cheese, You go to caramel.
Now you've got You've got the troubles, you've got the herbs.
It's too much confusion. I get grocery store confusion. It's

(01:12:57):
aisles and aisles. There's chips, there's there's salsa, syrup. There's
too many. But here's what I'm saying is where are
they going if people don't buy them, where are they going?
Are they're going into a landfill? Oh? There's too much.
There's too many cans, drinks, too many can drinks, too
many sparkling things with flavors and probiotics. There's protein'll forget it.

(01:13:21):
There's protein in your popcorn. There's there's too many flavors.
But the don't stop me. The isles are too long.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
It's a whole.

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
It's an isle on one side, an isle on the
other with cracker flavors, chip flavors, pretzel flavors. There's too
many flavors, sweets and salty's and savoris stop.

Speaker 8 (01:13:41):
Because because I don't think so many, because I don't
think so honey, Okay, I'll tell you where they go.

Speaker 4 (01:13:49):
Tell me because there's two.

Speaker 3 (01:13:50):
I agree with you when those because you're not a
part of the community that engages in this. And I'm
telling you there is one. My our friend Greta hosts
a party every year the night before Thanksgiving, which is
called chips Giving. It is a time when new flavor.
Everyone at the party that is invited brings like a artisonal,

(01:14:14):
some sort of bespoke flavor of chip. And everyone comes
and they present the chip that they brought, and they said,
the reason I've chosen this chip is this reason. Everyone
tries the chip. Now, there are sometimes as many as
like thirty five people at this party, which means you're
eating a lot of potato chips. And I have heard
the next day the people are more hungover than after

(01:14:36):
any New Year's Eve, after any Christmas Eve, after any
Fourth of July because of the amount of salt oil.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
And so make that a holiday. Make the chip company wait,
wait till Thanksgiving, wait to see our new flavors, and
then make it like a thing a chip's giving so
we don't have to, you know. And then you like
a flavor and then you go to it's like, oh,
they don't make that anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Then there's a purpose to it. It's got, it's gone.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Because now they've introduced like hot hot hot so racha. Oh,
it's like macaroni chip.

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
It's like cookie dough, fiery hot. I'm telling you, you
would not believe the kinds of chips. And it's like
it gives me anxiety now to know I had not
been to the party to stop.

Speaker 1 (01:15:18):
Well, you could just lean it. We'll get your advice
to the party.

Speaker 4 (01:15:23):
I'm just nervous. We're snacking too much as a country.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
I'm gonna I'm gonna bring something else to the table.
Too many beverage flavors, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
Yeah in the can. When I was saying the can,
can I see beverage flavors? Correct?

Speaker 1 (01:15:37):
What is salsae syrup?

Speaker 7 (01:15:39):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
I just made that up. I know that I made
that up as a flavor of chip.

Speaker 3 (01:15:43):
Yeah, maple making maple salsa hola maple.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
That's the problem in rooms like this, and make jokes
and then they go.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Wait, wait a minute, and.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
Still pickle chip. No you're not, You're not on the
market tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (01:16:01):
Yeah, it's guaranteed, there's already every brand of chip has
a that.

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
But this this being said, what is your favorite tip?

Speaker 7 (01:16:09):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:16:09):
Like what?

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
I like a cool ranch, cool rancho.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
Sometimes they taste a bit mm hmm. What's there's no
other way to say this.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
Coming.

Speaker 2 (01:16:25):
There was no other way to say it. There isn't
another way to say it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Smells like fish. Camera say that doesn't come smell like fish?
What does come home? I don't know what comes smells
like cool ranch?

Speaker 4 (01:16:40):
I don't know who.

Speaker 1 (01:16:42):
I don't know who you're talking to. She said, who
you're asking about? What?

Speaker 4 (01:16:48):
Never made that connection.

Speaker 3 (01:16:54):
That's why they call the syrup comes saltrup, salsae syrup.

Speaker 1 (01:16:59):
I just don't enjoy it anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:17:02):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
Well, now we're just.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
I like oridgies. I like a traditional ridgies. I like ruffles,
ruffleses ridgies. You know ridgies.

Speaker 4 (01:17:14):
I'm not a rider, and I will aso.

Speaker 1 (01:17:18):
Say like I like them.

Speaker 3 (01:17:21):
I'll tell you What I really don't like is all
the flavors of oreo.

Speaker 1 (01:17:25):
To me, I think Oreo is oreo. But even Lady Gaga.

Speaker 3 (01:17:28):
Even Lady She came out with the grammatical oreo, and
I was like, I don't know, because now now I
feel the need to support the legend, but I.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Don't like this oreo.

Speaker 4 (01:17:37):
I like a mint a mentorio.

Speaker 1 (01:17:38):
I love a mintoria.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
We're about to go to Japan. Wait till you try
maunch oreo. You're gonna like that sounds good.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Have you been to Japan?

Speaker 4 (01:17:46):
No, But it's my dream.

Speaker 3 (01:17:47):
I feel that you would and me. But don't you
think as someone who's been there, Like.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
I feel like the kids, the kids would love it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
I would love to take them. Yeah, maybe when they're
a little older.

Speaker 1 (01:17:59):
Yeah, they're already sixteen, as we said, thirty six.

Speaker 3 (01:18:04):
That's the proper age to take your kids.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
Really, this is a huge conversation starter that this chip's thing.

Speaker 3 (01:18:11):
I'm not just thank you for bringing it's just people
are thinking it, they're not talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:18:15):
It overwhelms me when I go and I'm like, I
just want to get like a chip.

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
Yeah, yeah I can't.

Speaker 4 (01:18:22):
There's Lentil chips there's lentil chips. Are making lentil chips.
That's chips out of.

Speaker 1 (01:18:26):
Beans, protein, protein, and the popcorn people are people want
to health the option.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
And I know you're saying kind of as a joke,
but maybe not that the aisles are too long. But
this is this is my experience. When I go to
the grocery store. Now, I look at the chip aisle,
I get so overwhelmed and I don't even my ey
do is know where to land. I just move on.
I don't even buy a chip. And that's robbing me
of a chip.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
It is you know what you should do in the
names in the in the words of your character from
Barbin Starr, you could just get one of every chip
and make a suicide.

Speaker 4 (01:19:00):
When you have too many options, you buy less.

Speaker 1 (01:19:02):
That is true.

Speaker 4 (01:19:03):
I remember hearing this on some sort of NPR something. Well,
then you know they did a study. You going to
cut this. This is boring. It was like a farmer's
market of like jams, and when she had three types
of jams, like sold out. When she had like ten
types of jams, people were like, I don't know, and
then they walked away.

Speaker 1 (01:19:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
Also, because I think when there's a lot of options.
When there's a lot of options, I do think you
in your head question, well can these all be good?

Speaker 4 (01:19:32):
Right? And therefore I don't get the right one.

Speaker 3 (01:19:37):
It's like when you go to a restaurant and there's
only the six entree options, You're like, well, I know
these are all curated lovely girls. Whereas when you go
to the cheesecake factory and there's nothing against the cheesecake factory.

Speaker 4 (01:19:48):
You're just a big menu.

Speaker 1 (01:19:50):
It takes you much.

Speaker 3 (01:19:51):
Well clearly not just much, much longer to decide because
of all the options. But you're like, now, what's the
area of expertise here?

Speaker 1 (01:19:59):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:20:00):
It's like and that is overwhelming, and then you think
I've ordered wrong, and then comes the negative self talk. Yeah,
I can't even go out.

Speaker 1 (01:20:13):
That's wrong with me.

Speaker 4 (01:20:15):
I should have got what they had. I'm gonna go
to the grocery store.

Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
I can get some chips.

Speaker 3 (01:20:20):
I'm going home, No, just kidding. I get to the
grocery store, I look at the aisle.

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
I'm out. I'm going home empty handed, hungry. I'm going
to bed hungry. There was too much to eat. I'm
going to bed hungry. Okay, this is a nightmare.

Speaker 3 (01:20:37):
Wait. I want to say yes, because I feel like
we only breezingly mentioned Bridesmaids and Barbin Starr, and I
also wanted to say you mentioned hate earlier the duet
that is the Skeleton Twins, should not. You guys were
fantastic in that, and I feel like it was such
an amazing, like little hint for people that like that,

(01:21:00):
like saw that movie and like know that movie of
what was to come for both of you guys, which
is you're both phenomenal actors, Like he's so brilliant, and
I feel like you guys were obviously like MVPs at
that show you were on it, which is saying something
because everyone was an MVP, but you guys together amazing
and I feel like, you know, he's obviously done what

(01:21:22):
he's done, and you like have just continued to like
grow and show your versatility as an actress. I will
never stop reminding people of that last episode of the
first season of Palm Royale, when you're on stage and
everything's happening and you're just your instrument as an actor
is so varied and you're in such control of it.

(01:21:44):
And I feel like that shouldn't get lost. And I'm
not surprised at all that every actor got a list
of everyone that they possibly could vote for in a
leading or supporting capacity at the Actor Awards.

Speaker 1 (01:21:55):
And your name came out as one of the five.
Because you are that good. You are really really.

Speaker 4 (01:22:01):
That means a lot coming from you. Thank you. I
don't know what to say.

Speaker 1 (01:22:04):
I believe with my full heart, and I know you
feel the same.

Speaker 8 (01:22:06):
I feel like, I well, I think there's actually issues
with your I would describe it as commy cool.

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
You gather my meeting, it's it's incredible.

Speaker 2 (01:22:23):
No, And I will just say, like, and Melissa coming
to the show, uh this season McCarthy, I was just like, oh, God,
crownings people actors, actors, and let's talk about Rose Byrne Rose.

Speaker 3 (01:22:34):
Oh, let's let's let's let's please get some some hardware.

Speaker 4 (01:22:40):
Let's do that because she is such a brilliant obviously
commitic actors, but dramatic act just act just can't do
anything and has can do anything. I mean, Melissa to
my god, like, oh, I'm just I'm so happy that she.

Speaker 1 (01:22:54):
Wants you must be you must be feeling like.

Speaker 4 (01:22:58):
I teared up. Man she's so she's so good and
she's done so great stuff and she's such a good person,
and I don't know, I'm just I root for her
in a way because her talent, I think is.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
Is just she's exemplary of what it means to be versatile,
hard working, like always getting better, always interesting. I remember
heard from wicker Park, a wicker Park, the Josh Hartint
vehicle wicker Park, And I'm just saying, she's been around
and doing it and kicking ass.

Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
I'm not surprised at all.

Speaker 4 (01:23:32):
To see I was so so happy.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
Yeah, but also some of my biggest laughs in that
movie are your guys passive aggression at each other, like
the I think people change, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:23:44):
Think people did.

Speaker 4 (01:23:46):
To act like we didn't like each other. It's really hard, I.

Speaker 1 (01:23:49):
Mean, but again, it's like you can.

Speaker 3 (01:23:50):
You did it so well because you had you had
a lens on it, because you could probably talk about
the ways in which you didn't like each other because
you like each other.

Speaker 2 (01:24:00):
Yes, And was this cut? Was this from the trailer?
Was it cut from the final film where the first
time you guys meet, she goes.

Speaker 1 (01:24:08):
Oh, did you just come from work? Did that make
it to the final film. I don't remember someone literally.

Speaker 2 (01:24:15):
Said that to me in like an earnest way, because
we went to Sarah Sherman's special premiere and we literally
did all I mean maybe that's why they said it,
but we all did come from We did not look
like clammed up.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
That is basically saying, oh do you look like shit? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:24:28):
This is She was like, she was like, she said
to me the line from like Roseburn's line from Bride's Maids.

Speaker 1 (01:24:33):
I was like, oh, huh did you come from? Oh wow,
did you come from work?

Speaker 3 (01:24:36):
And I was like, uh, yeah, but don't worry about she.

Speaker 1 (01:24:41):
Knows the owner. I know the owner.

Speaker 3 (01:24:46):
The the impact of that line in the theater I
will never experience. It's on that you do like buck
like we're going there like yeah that that that that's
when the movie turns.

Speaker 1 (01:24:58):
Yes, you know and anyway, Oh my god, you guys,
we kept you here for so long.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
We're so sorry, we love you so fun, We're very
how long have we talked?

Speaker 1 (01:25:08):
Like five hour twenty? I think this is a great length.

Speaker 4 (01:25:11):
I think this is a great length. Take out a minute.
I think I think the listeners want to hear everything,
all of it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
Thank you for wanting that. Thank you. We hope you've
enjoyed watching, listening, and more.

Speaker 4 (01:25:26):
And for those of you who just watched and didn't listen.

Speaker 3 (01:25:31):
Yeah, we end every episode with the song Okay, if

(01:25:57):
you can guess what that song is, you're by bye.

Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
I give you a hand.

Speaker 1 (01:26:03):
Bowen just said hey bye bye bye.
