Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's hello.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
WHOA.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
We're like really up close right now our extream close up.
I'm Laura Kane. This is Eric Rimmer, producer Brian Together,
all of us make up Laura Kane after Dark the
podcasts for the people. That's right tonight, we're going to
be talking about the Oscars. We have a couple stories,
and I'm going to tell you why I've been forever

(00:35):
banned from the Academy Awards. According to the people that
are part of the Academy. What did I do? I
blame it on Neil Patrick Harris. But I will tell
you all about that, and then we're gonna dance around
who Eric is styling for the Oscars this year. Very exciting,

(00:55):
and then we're going to play a game after that. Yes, okay,
so let's jump right into the seat filling thing, all right?
For five years?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
And how appropriate that you're wearing all red?

Speaker 1 (01:13):
That it was on purpose? Oh okay, because I'll tell
you why I'm ring red. I'll get to that in
a minute. For five years between the I think it
was two thousand and thirteen to twoy eighteen, something like that,
I was a seat filler every year for the Emmys

(01:36):
and also the oscars.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
What is a seat filling?

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, now this is what this is what got me
into trouble. Now, a seat filler is somebody that fills
the seat of somebody in the front of the house.
When the lights go down or the lights go up
and it's time for commercial a lot of the celebrities
will either get up and use the restroom or they'll

(02:01):
go to the bar, and then it's time for the
show to begin and they're not done. So there are
a group of people that are the seat filler wranglers,
and they'll tell you we wait in the foyer of
the theater in line, and when it's your turn, they'll say, okay,
you sit in that seat, all right, you go over there. Okay,

(02:22):
you go over there. So when the lights come back
on and the show starts again, the seats all look filled.
There have been times when I am in a seat
I don't know whose seat I'm filling, but that person
never came back. There was one year where I watched
the entire show from like a front row almost a

(02:43):
front row seat, because the person left and I don't
still do this day to who that was. So in
order to be a seat filler, You kind of have
to know somebody. And I'm not going to tell you
how I knew this person, but I knew somebody through
someone and that's how I got hooked up. But you
have to fill out this huge long form, get background checked,
you have to get a passport photo taken, send it in.

(03:07):
They make you a big badge that says sea filler,
your name and your picture, and you wear it around
your neck the entire time. And so I got in.
I passed. They call you like two days before and
they'll say you're in because there's so many people that
want to do it. So you have to prepare and

(03:29):
get a gown, and they're very specific about what you
wear because you can't outshine the celebrities. You can't be
outlandish and cause attention. You just have to blend in.
That's the point. When it's when the lights are up
and it's commercial time, you have to put your seat

(03:50):
filler lanyard in front of you. That's a seat filler. Okay,
when the lights go back up again or down when
the show's again, you have to put it around on
your back so it doesn't show on camera. So basically
you're walking around with this bitch. It's huge too, so
you're just scummed. You're just like kind of like yeah,

(04:15):
like right exactly. The seat fill of rules are you
don't talk about being a seat filler, which to me
was always like okay, but it's kind of self explanatory,
right Anyway, that was something I signed that said I
wouldn't speak publicly about it. Also it said do not

(04:38):
you are not allowed to speak to any celebrities unless
spoken to God.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
You've broke this rule so many times.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
No cameras broke that, phones broke that rule. And again
there was it was pages and pages ahead to sign.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Real quick before you get into the Let's just show
so all those pictures that you sent me, there were
too many of them to put near individually, so I
had to make them into a slide show because too
many of them. Let's let's just show all the celebrities
you because some of them are really awkward too.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Okay, there are some that I took during commercial break
and I just risked it. Most of them happened at
the end of the show. All of the celebrities would
gather in the foyer right in front of the stage
just say hey, Hi, how you doing. Oh my gosh.
I mean it was like a candy store because they
were all there and they're all like a listers, right,

(05:35):
that's where we would attack. That's where we would go.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
There's Jared Leto. Let's just ask him for a selfie.
I was fearless.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Yeah, I can, let me show these because these are
this is I can. I can tell how awkward the
situation was.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
And then do you have the video. We'll play the
video after all the pictures, because I'll show you what happened. Okay,
there I am in the audience. Somebody took that picture.
My badge is yeah, see my badge around my neck. Up,
that's another year. There's Kevin Spacey. He handed me a
piece of pizza when oh, Aaron, Paul was the greatest.

(06:11):
He was so nice from breaking bad. Oh Saul, better
call Saul. I forgot his name.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Bobout Her Kirk.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh that's just John Travolta. That was right near the bathrooms.
We caught him.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
He looks a little like like, okay, sure.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
They all do, but it's now Jared Letto looks.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
He looks like he looks mildly annoyed.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Oh no, he looks like he was having a good time.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
He's giving me a fox up. Yeah, that's one of
my favorites right there, Jared Letto. Okay, that was at
the end of the show. Okay, and then we're moving
on to.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Amy Adams.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, she looks mildly annoyed.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Yeah for sure. This was a while ago.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yes, this was a while ago. This is this was
before I got banned. John Hamm.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
He looks like he did not know a picture was
being taken to last second.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
But yes, that's true.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
He's like, who are you? Oh, okay, but.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I I don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I love it. I love it. It's John ham Okay, this
is my favorite. This is my very first celebrity selfie.
I saw Jack Nicholson in front of me.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
He was having a good time on this one.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
He was having a good time and I said, hey,
can I can I take a picture? He didn't. I
don't think he knew what a selfie was. So I
just hurried and took it. And that's why he was
talking during it, so that's why his mouth is open.
But that is like my classic. That was the first
seat filler experience. When I saw Jack Nicholson, I had
to jump at the chance. I had to. I just
had to. That's good, Okay, thank you. There's Leonardo DiCaprio,

(07:41):
and then my friend Anita. That's Leo. He looks young, young,
and not too annoyed. He looks like he's okay, he's
he's being very polite.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Say that he's polite.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
He's being very polite. Okay. So this picture, I'm holding
an actual oscar. This is one of the things that
got me into trouble, now I got I was seated
next to a woman who had just won an Academy
Award for Best Documentary and she was pretty drunk. So
she started up a conversation with me and she's like,

(08:14):
oh my god, would you want to hold this oscar?
And I said yes, can you please take a picture
of me with the oscar? Because this is incredible. So
there's the picture. I didn't initiate this, she actually did.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Oh that's cool. And then you were like, hey, take
a picture of me.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh yeah, oh my god. Yes, it's one of my
most prized possessions. Okay, So there's that. Okay, is that
busy Phillips? This is remember I told you when she
because people always tell me I look like busy Phillips,
and I told her that. She was like, oh great,
this was that the Emmy's Actually, no, this isn't the
Oscars because she's friends with Michelle Williams.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah she is.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I mean you see it.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Actually people tell me this all the time. And she
was not happy about it because obviously she didn't like
the I looked. But she did manage to take a
picture with me, and there she does look super.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
She does look really annoyed.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
They were waiting for their limo at this time.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
She looks like she's being really polite though, considering how
annoyed she is.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
This is just us strolling the red carpet on the
way out. Excuse me, Yeah, there I am in the audience, right.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Next to Oh, you're right in front of Michael B. Jordan.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yes, Michael B. Jordan.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yes, who is that in front?

Speaker 1 (09:23):
He's I forgot his name, but he's been on a
lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, I don't know who that is.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I don't recognize him at all.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
But look at me looking right in the camera like
I'm always trying to find that. Okay there, Okay, So
one year we had to be extras on the red
carpet for some reason, and so the photographers don't know
who everybody is, so they just shoot pictures of everyone.
So we're just getting flash flash flash, like who's that
flash flash flash? It was so fun. So that's us

(09:51):
in front of the camera experience, very cool experience. There.
That's what it looked like outside the Dolby Theater. That's
where I saw Michael Keaton throw away his acceptance speech
when he lost for Birdman in the trash and then
he left. Oh, there's my oscar.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Holding towards Yeah, that's a better version.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, there's Tommy because I went with Tommy and Anita.
Tommy with Patricia Arquette. Now this is Oh is that her? Y?

Speaker 3 (10:18):
Oh? I did not even recognize her.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
She's in Severn. Yeah, she's good.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
That's I did not even recognize her.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Wow, it's really pretty.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
I know, she's so pretty. There's Kate Blenchett.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
And she looks very pleased.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
She actually yeah, she does not look pissy with you,
not at all.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
But there's I think the next one is a celebrity
that was kind of annoyed. No, no, no, not him. Okay,
so Jonah Hill was really nice.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
I think this is the last one.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Oh you didn't. You don't have the Sharon Stone one.
There's one with a group me, Tommy and Anita and
Sharon Stone.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
I don't think I saw that one.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
And she looks like, just get this the hell over with. Okay,
all right, now do you have the video? Now here's
what happened the last time I was at the Oscars
as a seat filler. One of the seat filler wranglers said,

(11:20):
sit there in the aisle. So I was right on
the aisle, So I sat there. The lights go back
up and Neil Patrick Harris is not on the stage,
He's in the aisles, and this is what happens.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Are you a sea shiller?

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Are you sound?

Speaker 3 (11:39):
You're everywhere? What's your name?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Laura? Hi? Laura. So basically he came up to me
and said, hey, are you a seat filler? And I
got scared because I thought, oh my god, is this
a trick question? What am I supposed to say? Because
I signed all this stuff? Oh my god? So of
course I said yes, and he goes, what's your name?
I said Laura and he goes, Hi, Lauren.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
I'm like Hi, he goes, You're everywhere.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
He goes you're yes, So that the minute that happened,
that was on live TV and the oscars are everywhere.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
All of it. And by the way, I was at
an Oscar a watch party and everybody went nut.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
My phone was on, was on Vibrate in my little
purse in my lap, and it was like buzz buzz buzz, buzz,
buzz buzz buzz. After that happened.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's kind of an awkward interaction actually, to be on
live too, like to be on the oscars too, Are
you like? Calls out a random woman. He's like, are
you a paid extra here tonight? You're like?

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I was trending on Twitter when it was Twitter as
the girl in the red dress, the seat filler in
the red dress. So when I got home, Channel eight
called me, uh NBC seven thirty nine Kosi. There was
four local TV stations that sent reporters to my house

(12:59):
here to interview me about the situation. Cause local girl
gets called out on national TV, right, So I went
ahead and talked about the seat filling experience and about
Neil Patrick Krristadada. Well, apparently the Academy saw one of
those news clips online and they were not happy at

(13:26):
all because in the news story. They showed the picture
of me with all the celebrities. They showed the picture
of me holding the oscar, and that's what broke the
camel's back and I got into huge trouble.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
So did they send you, like a letter or something or.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
You know what. I don't remember if they sent me
a letter.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I know that they Yeah, they did send you a letter,
did they? Yeah? Could you read it to me? Oh?

Speaker 3 (13:54):
What did it say?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
You had it for a while.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I blanked that out.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Yeah, it just said to your.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Or like, you broke the contract pretty much. So this
morning okay, if you look up girl Red Dress, Oscars,
Neil Patrick Harris, seat filler, you'll find a picture of
me and him, and sometimes you'll see my face circled

(14:25):
with a big thing that says banned or or fired
or blacklisted. So these this morning show in Australia must
have come across the picture or the story or something,
and they got a hold of me through my work
email and they asked for an interview and I'm like, sure,

(14:46):
why not? I mean, enough time has passed. What am
I gonna get in trouble again? So that was this morning.
It was on Zoom it was ten thirty here, it
was five thirty in the morning the next day in Australia,
so they were they're like the number one morning show
in Australia and there was like five of them on

(15:07):
the show and they just interviewed me. It was really cool.
It was on Zoom, so I did that this morning
and it was it was really really cool.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Oh fun, And.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think I ruined things for poor Tommy and Anita
because after that they didn't do the Oscars anymore either.

Speaker 3 (15:25):
So they seat fillers are actually invited.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
They were seat fillers too, and it was actually really
fun because we had to get there. We had to
get there at eleven, even though the Oscars didn't even
start till five.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Oh dude, we had to get.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
There at eleven. We had a lot of waiting around.
But then they threw us a luncheon, so we had
like this luncheon in the hotel. Then we had to
wait in a theater. Then they'd line us up outside
the foyer and then we'd have to wait for the
show to start. And so it was a lot of preparation,
a lot of waiting around, a lot of and that's
why I say wear comfortable shoes. I'm like, hell, no,

(15:58):
am I gonna wear comfortable shoes at the Aufe. I
want to wear like hot shoes. So I was always
miserable in my shoes.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Yeah you hit the bar or anything or no, I
don't know what was thinking. Maybe it'd be way more
fun if you go to do out.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
In the bathroom. We saw the Kardashians. That's where we
ran into. Oh we ran into Justin Timberlake, who did
not want to take a picture.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Oh yeah, well, apparently he's a bit of a diva.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, I think a lot of them. I saw Jennifer
Aniston and she didn't look very happy. I seen Angelina Julia,
I saw Brad Pitt. I mean, everybody. You can imagine.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It was just the coolest experience. But I went out.
When I went out, I went out big.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
You did you really did? You went out with a bang?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
I did, come on with a bang. Now this year,
somebody else from our show is going to be at
the Oscars doing something completely different and getting paid for it.
Explain what you're doing and a kind of if you can,
Where are you going to be, how long is it

(17:06):
going to take? What time do you have to be
there just that kind.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Of I have to be there very early in the morning.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
So you have to be there on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I know about forty eight hours, so I'll know on
either Thursday or Friday who I am styling. Okay, and
I know it's a woman.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
When you see last week you said, wouldn't it be
funny if you got Blake Lively? And I'm all, no,
that would not be funny.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
That would be epic.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
I would pray for that.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
When you style a celebrity at the oscars, do you do?
You do? They have like like five dresses to pick
from and you say, Okay, you should put that one
on with this accessory, Like what do you It.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Depends on if they're under a licensing agreement with a designer,
so like if they were.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Like most of them are probably right.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
Like Charlie's their own was with Dior, so was Jennifer.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
A lot of them are.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Lawrence, Yeah, Louie always has a dozen people.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Yeah, so they have. So when you go into a
situation like that, it'll be like a couple of racks
of just that designer and then will narrow it down
to like three and then two and then one.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, just pretend that this actor or actress already has
their gown because it had to be fitted specifically. So
your job at that point is to style them accessories, shoes,
so you pick what goes on and matches everything, and
then they have their hair and makeup person so that

(18:44):
you're just one of their people.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (18:46):
How long does it take?

Speaker 2 (18:48):
Just depends on the person. Some people don't care, meaning like,
I've worked with Allison Janning before and she is super easy.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh she seems so cool.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, she's really cool.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I wouldn't care.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Is this person somebody that the person you heard it
could be? Is this person known to be a diva
of any kind?

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I have heard both.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Okay, so you could get her in a mood or
you could get her in a good mood or in
a bad mood.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, or him?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Or can you say it's to her?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I'm pretty confident. Very rarely have I had to style men,
so I'm pretty sure it's probably a woman.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
If you say, hey, this bracelet is going to go
perfect with the stress, and if they say no, I
don't like it.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
I've had that happen before.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
And then you just have to take it off. You
have to do what they say, right, oh.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Or do you demand that they lot well? And a
lot of the times the publicist will have a lot
to do with it, so they're people that they employ
will go, well, you might like those shoes, but I
don't like those shoes. So I've had situations before where
I was working with an actress who the shoes. Everything
was beautiful except for I hated the shoes, and she

(20:08):
liked them. Her publicists like them. I didn't, and I
said I would not wear those shoes. And here's why
you'll wind up on the worst dress list, because it
looks like you're wearing two different shoes. And she was like, oh, yeah,
you're right. When she got out on the red carpet,
she had the the ones that you picked, the ones

(20:29):
that I didn't pick, the ones that I thought, and
she wound up on the worst dressing. I'll tell you after, Okay.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Why can't you tell us them? It's pat okay, because
you're all right, right right. We don't want to. We
don't want to jeopardize his upcoming job.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
But you alreadyjeopardized him enough.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I want to know.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
And I've worked with Sharon Stone before and I had
a great experience with her. Oh okay, yeah, I really
like did she.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Do the basic instinct leg cross thing? I?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, not for him.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I don't know, man, I'll tell you after the show.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Oh what.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Straight moment?

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Do you have to stay with your celebrity the whole night?
Are you done after?

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Your just depends on if they're changing for another event,
So they go to the Governor's Ball or a vanity
fair or something like that, and they want, okay that.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
I get to watch the Oscars after or in between?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Where do you sit while the show's going on? Do
you know yet?

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Uh? It just depends. I can go back to the hotel.
I can't.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, Yeah, an range between I'm guessing that it's more.
It's more than a thousand dollars. You're going to be
paid between a thousand? What is it between? Give me
a range that what you're going to make to be
a stylist. What does a stylist make to style somebody

(21:57):
for the Academy Awards? What's the give range?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
It depends on who it is, what they're wearing, and
how many how long you're there? Okay, so I'm gonna
be there the full day?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
So are we talking a couple of fouls. That is
so cool.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
She's like not to get too personally.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Eric.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
How much money did you make last year? Entirely? Fiscal four?
Fiscal years?

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Now? Can we talk about your W two from twenty
twenty four? No, I'm just curious to know it. Like it?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
What figure did you put in box two nine?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Oh? My gosh. The Academy Awards are on Sunday. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I know'brien, that's yeah.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
I'm actually so excited because Conan is the only late
night host. I actually think it's so funny. Every time
he'll be great.

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Honestly, it sounds really boring though. It's like super scripted
and like everyone's gonna stick up their butt because it's.

Totally it's very political, and it sounds like all you're
going to be doing doing is you're gonna be bashed
by everybody the public. Oh he sucked, she sucked.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
This is called guilty or Innocent. I'm going to put
each of us on the hot seat and I'm going
to give you a question and you have to tell
We're gonna guess whether or not Brian is guilty or innocent.
Oh me, When we go around the room and you're guilty,
you have to tell us the story.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Remember we had David on, who is the makeup artist
Jane for Jane Fauna. We had him on last year. Yeah,
who are my friend David who does Jane Fonda's makeup?
Remember he? Yes, yes, he did her makeup for the
SAG Awards because she won the Lifetime Achievement Award. She
looks amazing her And how old is she almost ninety? No,

(25:40):
she's eighty eight.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
I think I can't I better it be hard to
make up for someone that's there.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
She looks so good.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
I'm sure her skin is pulled nice and true.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Well, whatever she's had done, she looks great. Yeah, she
doesn't look she's in that. She's in that category with
only one other person I think in that share.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Yeah, Madonna went kind of over.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Sixty shares.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Her plastic surgery is calmed down because remember she was.
There was a minute there where it was like what bad? Right,
you have those fillers and everything. Yeah, all right, we're
gonna start with Brian.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Okay, what's this game called.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
It's called guilty or innocent. I will read you a
scenario and you have to tell me or we're gonna
guess if he's done this, and then if and then
he's gonna tell us, yes, I'm guilty or I'm innocent.
Have you ever faked a family emergency to get out
of work? Uh, well let's guess. Let's see.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Oh sorry, I thought I was just saying I'm gonna
say no, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
I would say I was gonna say yes, at least
once in your work to get out of work. No,
I innocent of that.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
I'm innocent. I'm sure you're not Okay, do one more
because I screwed it up.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Okay, have you ever secretly taken credit for somebody else's work?
I don't think he has.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I think that he he's.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
A pretty stand up guy. I don't. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
You know what, he's young, Give him time, he'll do it.
He'll eventually do something.

Speaker 3 (27:19):
I don't think I have either. I'm gonna be honest,
I don't. Maybe I have, like, but it'd be like
really a minor but I don't think.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
So, but like not on purpose, not like viciously.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Eric, you're in the hot seat. Okay, have you ever
lied on your resume? Stop right there, let's let's Brian
and I will discuss.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
No, because he's never thought to do that.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
I'm gonna say he hasn't lied, but he has definitely embellished.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I bet he hasn't even done that because he's never
thought that you could do that. I bet he treats
his resume like a legal document.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
And yeah, so you're innocent.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
I have never He's like, they'll catch me and I'll
get into jail or something.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
You've never like added a couple of little like fun
little tidbits just to make it more exciting.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
No, I'm exciting enough.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Okay, Now it's my turn to be on the hot seat.

fell asleep talking to them at my desk.

Speaker 3 (31:13):

Without jeopardizing my current employment.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
She was like, I actually I sleep every day.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Under her desk is a little space heater in a
dog bed that she curls up on him.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
I will just say.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
This.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
There was an occasion years ago when I fell asleep

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Oh yeah, oh Steph.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
And I wasn't allowed to work from home anymore I read.
That's what I can only say that.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
I can't believe you won't fire for that.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
I know that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
Anyways, no more, no more.

Speaker 1 (32:11):

them another one. Cheat.

Speaker 2 (32:22):

Have you ever called in sick and then gone out
in public that same date? Absolutely? Because I don't. He
may have felt ill, but he still needed to go
to food for less to grab like a snack, so
forced himself to go out.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Okay, that's that. The bar for that bar is so
low that I'm sure. Yes. Like, has he ever wilfully like,
oh I'm so sick Boston and went out to like,

lose sick time because same.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
I really I haven't taken sick day in four years. Yeah,
I've just worked through it.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
The only time I've ever had to call in sick
is when I've had like a horrible, horrible migraine, or
I've just been so like I've had a sore throat
or something and it could not get out of bed.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
I have blown off work exactly one time by calling
in sick to go hang out with people.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Because see one time, well this is my fear. My
fear is I'm I'm way too honest, and I always
feel like if I do it and then try and
sneak out, I'm going to get caught, oh for sure.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
So I just one day, one day I actually was sick,
like actually was sick. I didn't go into work and
I ended up buying a car that day, and I
came and I came to work the next day with
a Mustang and they were like, they were like, you
were sick. I was like, I swear to god, I
was coughing my lungs out that day. By the they
just delivered it to me. I literally pulled up in

(34:12):
front of my job and my manager was like out front,
she goes, you were sick yesterday where And she was like,
I swear to god I was. I could not have worked.
I just also happened to buy a car that day.

Have you ever gone, oh, okay, this is me, okay,

Yeah, you absolutely have. You've done every thing in the
book to work before.

But in your in your history, you definitely have more
than once. Oh every day.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
I did know someone who faked having breast cancer to
get work one day.

Speaker 2 (35:13):

Speaker 3 (35:16):
It was really and she got caught too that Yeah,

and she literally used like she's like, yeah, it was crazy,
see that's what she was like nineteen.

Speaker 2 (35:31):
There's like, oh my god, I would never use like
a disease or saying because because something.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Bat will happen. Huh, Oh my gosh, for sure, Bryan. Yeah,
have you ever flirted with somebody to get a better
deal or a discount.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh damn it. Sorry, next question, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I have for sure.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Oh, first, I tried to flirt. I flirted my way
out of that ticket one time, a speeding ticket. Really,
uh huh was with a straight, macho cop. It was
with a male cop. What but it was here in
the hillcrest.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Oh oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
Okay, San Diego p D. They don't have their own PD.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I got pulled over when I lived in Coronado when
I was doing traffic, when I was like twenty two
driving BMW. I had now I was like a Honda.
I had a low cut kind of a low cut dress.
I looked nice.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Did you expose yourself?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
It was early in the morning, because it was probably
like four thirty in the morning. Pulls me over because
I was speeding, of course, and I looked all put together,
and I was like, oh gosh, you know what I am. Sorry, Yes,
I was going too fast, but I am I'm on
the air in twenty minutes. I do traffic for various stations.

(36:49):
I was trying to like throw that out there. He goes,
this won't be bit a minute. It's back, writes me.
Ticke it nothing worked. The dress, the cleavage, the hair,
the fact that I have like a cool sounding job.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Nope.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
I've never talked my way out of a ticket, not once.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
I've never been pulled over, not once. What yeah, never
been pulled over. Now. I did get a ticket once
because the DMV didn't send me my renewal notice my registration.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
That's nothing. That's nothing.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
It cost me sixty bucks and my registration fee.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Did you know there's a new law called the daylighting
law where it starts March first, and if you are
caught parking twenty feet from a crosswalk, you could get
a seventy seven dollars ticket.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
I think it's actually a grey law because there are
jerks that like park on crossworks and it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
It had like the marked unmarked red doesn't matter, Like well, it.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Has to be actual intersections though it's not right. Yeah,
but it's like some people do park like literally on
like right on intersection crosswalks of the tip. Wow, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Have you ever sent is this me? Yeah, gonna go,
We're almost done a text to the wrong person. Oh yeah,
now give us an example.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
Wait, damn it, we're supposed to get yet he asked
me a different question.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Have you ever lied about being on a diet while
secretly eating junk food?

Speaker 3 (38:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:17):
No, because no, no, because he doesn't really he doesn't.
He doesn't ever talk about being on.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
He may have like omitted, but not like lying. He's like,
I'm not going to get into it, but.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Like, no, I'm going to give him a different one
and don't answer. Okay, have you ever laughed so hard
that you peed yourself a little bit?

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I bet, I bet you.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
I'm almost certain.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Never full blown pee, but just a trickle.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
There's a trickle that created a little spot on his pants.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
May I'm a spot. But he felt that he knew.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Are we right?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Not that I can recall, you've never peed yourself laughing?
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
I haven't either. Oh my gosh, you do all the time.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
No, I keep that shit tight.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
Literally, Okay twice one time.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
I want the details.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yes, this is funny. I was pregnant with Charlie.

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Oh that doesn't count.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
No, this is. And then I'll tell you my second one.
And Randy was cutting up some sound. What we had
done was we each drank the most carbonated soda there was,
and we burped. We recorded each one of us burping,
and Randy's job was to slow down the burps, and
the next day we were going to play a game

(39:36):
whose burp is it? Well, when he was slowing down
the burps, they sounded like dinosaurs roaring.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
It was like.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
And it was just like so incredibly funny. I laughed
so hard I completely peeded my overalls. Oh my god,
I couldn't stop, and I had to tie like a
jacket around my waist to leave the building because it
was a giant wet spot. Second time it was during COVID.
We were stuck inside. I was on the couch. Evan

(40:06):
and I we called it Cuckoo hour every every time
eight o'clock came around at night, and we were like
cuckoo for cocoa puffs because we've been inside all day.
She's been doing school all day. I don't know what happened,
but I laughed so hard. I peed on the couch.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Like are we talking like full bladder worth of full
on spot.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
This big, and we had to take the things off.
We had to like wash them right away. I was
still laughing, and then I peed again on the same
Oh my god, the same like five minutes later, it
was so funny.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Maybe that's the pea that I smell. That's dog.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
I got something to handle that. By the way, all right,
we'll do one more and then we're done.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
Oh I'm gonna do this with Brian. So I'm not
sure about this. Okay, have you ever clogged somebody else's
toilet and say, I'm going to say there is a
I'm feeling psychically, the answer is.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yes, I'm going to say there's probably a log jam.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
That he just walked away from. Yeah, and didn't say
a word. We're gonna say yes, no. Really.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
However, however, I have clogged a toilet and left without
knowing I had clogged it and then was informed later,
which is perhaps the most embarrassing it happened. I was
like like probably nine or something, but it was still
the most embarrassing.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
That's ever daily thing with me.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Yeah, yeah, No, never intentionally, although I'm honestly going.

Speaker 2 (41:40):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
