otherwise known as Dave Franco. And it's called Somebody I Used to, know, which is out now on Prime Video. Check it out. Love a rom-com. Love this joint affair. Let's welcome Allison. Sometimes when we're inside of Rachel's little brain, these thoughts are swirling round and round inside to join us on this journey as we take a little ride. We'll talk about dogs and kids and Things we'll talk about chicks and tampon strings. We'll talk about boys better make you.

Because people die. Hi. Hi. It's so nice to meet you. Yes, yes. Nice to meet you too. This is my best friend Olivia. Hi.

Hi. It's so funny. I feel like, so for so long, our best friend Leah, her younger sister, Lucy, went to Cal Arts with you. Yes, Lucy and I were very good friends. in college, very close. We lived together. We were roommates in our third year. Oh, my God. Yeah. Oh, no way. Yeah. We all had an apartment together. Oh, yeah. I was just texting with her yesterday. Oh, were you really? That's so sweet. Yeah. So was I. Oh. How was it? Should we compare and contrast?

Yeah. Mine was awkward. Cool, cool. Yeah. Mine was pretty good. Mine was pretty positive. I told her we were going to be talking to you because I knew that she went to school with you and I thought lived with you. Yes. And then she texted me to be like, heard you're doing the podcast. Oh, cool. Okay. So you knew this information. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So she, I remember because I think maybe when you got community or was like, was community your first big show? Yeah. Madman and then community. Yeah. Oh, Madman, that little show. That little show. You want to count Madman. Okay. Maybe, yeah. Then maybe it was Madman. But I remember when you, you know, got your show.

And I remember Lucy being like, oh my gosh, my friend from Cal Arts is probably Madman. That would make sense. I don't know. It might have been commuted because Madman was like, obviously such an iconic show and it was my first big job. But I was just recurring on the show. Do you know what I mean?

Like when I booked community, that was the moment where it was more like, my show. Like I'm a regular show. Yeah. You know what I mean? So exciting. But Madman, can we talk about that for a second?

Yeah. Rachel's never watched it. I've never. I know, I've never seen it. It's so weird. Oh, you should check it out. It has influenced the way I live. I'm like, I like gauge things. Wait, you have to tell her that. Can you tell her the madman story? No. Oh, my God. You have to now. It's not a madman story. Oh, it's a John Hamm story. It's a John Hammond story. But because of Madman. Oh. Well, because. Well, don't do anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is because of Madman. Yeah. No, it's not like that. No, it's not sexy. Don't do anything you don't want to do. I feel safe with you. To tell the sexy Johnny M. Oh, my God. Okay, fine.

Well, I'll get it out of her later. I can tell it. Well, now I feel weird. Now do I have to tell it? Yeah, to tell us like a truncated version of it. So my little boy was having like an OCD episode. Okay? Never had OCD before.

He started. He was five. He was five. Four? Five, I think. Obsessively washing his hands and being like, if I get ink on him, am I going to die? And we're like, what is going on with him? He was just like spiraling, okay?

And we were like, I don't even know like what to do to help him. And so at one point, random, my husband and I were watching Madman, and it's a scene where John Hamm is strangling someone. And it was a dream, though. It was a dream he was having where he was strangling someone. And my son walked in and saw that and like flipped out. out. And later, days later, he kept thinking about it. And he kept being like, is that woman okay? And we're like, baby, it's just a show. Like, that's not real. And he started praying to God, like,

literally praying to God. He's like, dear God, please make that man. He goes, what's his name? And I was like, John Ham. And he's like, please make that man. I like that you went with John's name, not the character. I was like John Ham and he's like, please make John Ham stop having those bad dreams. And so we videoed him saying this, sent it to Rachel. She sent it to whoever pulls the strings in life. The powers that be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. John Hamm sent us a video back and was like, hey, Elliot, it's me, John Hamm.

I just want you to know that I'm not having those dreams anymore. more and you can relax and everything's okay. Oh my God. Cured him. He never had an OCD moment after that. Yeah, but didn't he say, Mom, is John Ham God? Yes. Oh, wow.

Right? Didn't he think he was God? Yeah. Oh, my God. So that's the John Ham. It is a good story and John Ham's a hero. It's a great story for John. Yeah.

For John. She's like, why you're fucking telling me? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, that's great, guys. I love the story. Thanks. But, okay, where's the part where I...

You're like, where do I come in? What's my role in this? Speaking of your role, we watched your movie. Yes. And loved it. It was so much fun. And, like, well, anyway, we want to talk to you about it, obviously, like, how it came about. Amazing.

Thank you so much. Yes. Yes, you did it with your husband, right? Yes. Yes. Why don't you break it down for us a little bit? Yes. Okay.

So my husband, Dave. and I wrote this rom-com during COVID. We actually wrote it like during the first two weeks of lockdown. Basically, we were kind of like, we had cracked the story right before and we were sort of like, when are we going to have time to work on this? Life is so busy. And then everything stopped. And you know, at first we just thought that quarantine was going to be two weeks like everybody.

Right. So we were like, all right, we have two weeks. It's our Raiders clinic. We're going to write the script. And we wrote the first draft in two weeks. Nice. And then, you know, had like another year and a half to perfect it, do get notes. And basically, we just set out, I mean, originally, I think we really wanted to kind of tap into that nostalgia from all the rom-coms from like the 80s and 90s that we love, like when Harry met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle and Pretty Woman and my best friend's wedding and all that stuff.

And then originally when we started talking about that. the idea we were in Dave's hometown in Northern California. And so, like, it was sort of these two ideas weaving together about, like, what it means to go home and what it's like to see people from your past and how, like, you can't bullshit those people, how, like, the person you truly are comes out, or is it like, you know, does it make you think about the kind of person you used to be? Right. And we brought Lucy. No. Oh, yeah. She just, like, pops up from the bottom of the screen. I feel like she would think probably

I'm still pretty similar to what I was like in college and actually we channel some stuff from my Cal Arts days in the movie because the characters have some streaking to have a streaking scene and that was college for you? Yes.

Well, did you ever visit Cal Arts when we were going there? God, I don't think we did, did we? No. Which is weird. Yeah. Well, I think you were working. Oh.

But, yeah, when we were at Cal Arts, clothing was optional everywhere, but the cafeteria, it's like a very naked school. Seriously? Wait, is this real? This is real. And actually, I always phrase it like this, like, when I was going there, like, I don't know if it's true. But I was doing an interview about this the other day and a guy in the room with me, like, the sound guy was like, hey, I have a friend who teaches there. and it is still like that. That's amazing.

Well, it's honestly very cool. It started as this hippie art school. And I think they just wanted to keep it like so that all the students have artistic freedom. Like, it's not like people are going to class naked. It's not like people are just naked all the time where I was there. It was like, by the pool, people would lay out naked. You know, we had this big Halloween party where people would go just like in body paint or like, you know, my freshman year, I think I went as like a sheriff. and I just had like a cowboy hat and like sheriff stars taped to my nipples and like

poofy underwear. Like it was just sort of like and I like to run around and streak and make my friends laugh and I just thought it was funny. So it's like a little burning man with books. Yeah, but it's like not to take away from the fact that like it is a great school. I actually think like the spirit of that is cool. For sure. Learn a lot and do good work there in a way that is serious. But also there's like the naked guy who is at every like school function in the main building just wearing tennis shoes and a necklace. I mean, it kind of takes the sex appeal out though, doesn't it? Like it makes it more like, oh, this isn't as sexy as I would imagine us all being naked would

be. Totally. Yes. It does kind of normalize nudity in that way. And I think like the thing about this movie that I wanted to really put in is like, I love non-sexual nude scenes. It's something that I really tapped into while I was making glow,

which was this show on Netflix that I did about, like, Women's Wrestling. And it was made by women and starred a lot of women. We had women and the writers. It was just women everywhere. And like such a powerful feminist show, you know, and they would write in these scenes that were like, yeah, you're naked because you're changing clothes in the locker room or even like, I had a scene in our third season where I like put on this showgirl's headdress and take my top off and I'm just kind of dancing around Toplis, like, to make my friend laugh.

And it feels like the way that women are. You know, the way that you can be with your friends. It feels very natural. And I wanted to kind of channel that in this movie. And it goes also along with the character's story, which is kind of, you know, my character goes home to kind of collect herself after something happens with her job and runs into this ex-boyfriend and they have an amazing night together. And then she finds out that he's getting married, but she wants to stay.

because she feels like they had this connection. And so the movie is sort of about the one that got away, but it's also about what if the one that got away is you, you know, I'm kind of reconnecting to oneself. Yeah. Is that what you meant 20 minutes ago when you said, tell me a little, tell us a little something about the movie? No, no. You know, and I loved, I loved also the message of like really staying true to yourself. It was beautiful, like the whole thing and being like, well, why are you just doing what he wants to do? And like, you make. You make a the choices as a woman and you followed your path and like what you wanted. Right? Totally. Yeah. Totally. Yeah. I'm really fascinated by the idea of the one that got away. And when I was in, I don't know, even in high school and in my early 20s before I met my husband, I was always on again off again with boyfriends.

And a lot of women in my life are the same. And I just find it very interesting that there's this relationship amnesia, right? Like when it's somewhat. There's a lot of revisits. At the moment when you break up, you're like, this is the right thing because he's a total asshole. And here 15 reasons why. And then a month later, you're lonely and you're like, it was probably me and I'm the problem. And he's amazing. And like, why do we do that?

Is there a sense that what we miss is not maybe that person? Maybe it's just more kind of how we felt at that period in our life. That's like the Esther Perel. version. Sure. Yeah. And also, and then there's like another relationship, but you know, in the movie where you're kind of just like, when is it right to fight for the relationship? And when is it not? And sometimes it is. I don't think this is like the anti-romcom. It's meant to be like an homage to great rom-coms and also like, and it's great to also just like get in touch with yourself. I love that it, I feel like, and you grew up in Los Angeles, Pasadena, right?

Yeah. So you may relate to this, but I feel like, because we grew up here, I always fantasized. That's why I loved rom-coms. Like, I always had that fantasy of like, one day I'll go back and they'll, you know, to your hometown. To my hometown. And the guy will be like, oh, she's so amazing. But growing up in L.A., we don't really have that. Yeah, totally. I know. So when I watch movies like that, I'm like, oh. Oh, like Sweden, Alabama. Same kind of thing, right, where you go back to your hometown. a good feeling. And you start to revert. Yeah. Where did you guys shoot it? I kept trying to, was it, were you in the San Juan Islands or something? We shot it in Oregon. Okay. But it's set in Leavenworth, Washington. And we did shoot our last three days in Leavenworth, which is like that Bavarian-style town. Like, it's Christmas year-round up there. There's that. I love it. Rainier farm is real.

Oh, my God. That's amazing. But Dave and I love the Pacific Northwest. Yeah. So we really just wanted to set it up there so we could go back to Portland. We were. kind of based there. Portland is like the coolest city. It is. Just love it. The people are great. There's really good food. There's a great music scene. The crews are awesome. So like all of our local crew, we'd shot Dave's first film, his directorial debut, the rental, which I acted in, we had shot up in Oregon. So we were sort of just like, let's just go back up to our favorite spot. So working with your spouse, because you just said that, like, what's that dynamic like? It's great. It's awesome. We keep doing it. I know you've done it a couple times, so clearly something's working, right?

Yes, yes. We really like it. I think we got to really take it slow. We've been together about just coming up on 11 years in like two weeks. I'm looking for like, babe, happy anniversary. So I think what has worked well is that we didn't rush working together, right? So we got to act in a couple projects together. And then I was in his first film that he was directing. And by then we knew that we liked being on set together, right? That like our personalities didn't totally change when we got on set, which I was a little worried about even before. I was the most nervous before the first time that we acted together. Because I don't know.

People have different processes, right? You're sort of like, well, I know home you. Like, what's work you? I can't imagine like if I had got on set, if one of us had been like a crazy. diva, you know, I don't know. I just think it would have been so wild. So that went well. And then working on the rental was so nice.

It just, I love being directed by Dave. I just think he knows me better than anyone. Yeah. It's like my acting gets very grounded because I can't do any of my normal, like, actory tics or like my actor bullshit, you know. And also I know that he's not going to leave me out to dry, right? You know, I think the most. I think the most tense I've ever been is when I'm on a set with a director that I don't trust.

And then the whole time I'm like mentally directing the movie. And so that's so nice to just trust him so much. And then we also just have each other as an emotional support system throughout the whole process, which is great. When we're in production, it's like the best. You know, we love being on set together. We love coming home after a day of shooting and debriefing together. The writing process is great. Well, this is our first time writing together.

And it was good. But again, like, we wrote it during the pandemic. So it was good and bad. You know, it was like there was no escape from one another for real. But also, I felt excited that we were using the time productively and creatively. Yeah. Because we couldn't be on sets acting. It was nice to just be making something in our own household,

but it was hard to turn it off. That was where it would get tricky. Like I'd be like, all right, writing time is done. I'm going to make dinner. And then Dave would just be like at the kitchen counter, just sliding his computer in, like not subtly. Like, but how would you say this? Like, what do you?

Just kind of keep me writing. I think that was, that's, and even in post, like on either side in post. I mean, post pressure was good, I guess. It's just interesting. I don't know. We love it. I just, I love that you guys dove into the rom-com, though, because I'm really am a sucker for him. Me too. You know, like there's a formula, but I like that you guys really stretch the comedy more. You know, like, I feel like you leaned into more shock value comedic moments where I was like. Sure, sure. You know, the dick pick stands out. But I was like, are we allowed to say that? I don't know. I like the mom. I like the mom. Your mom. And all of that kind of stuff.

Wait, is she's the mom from Jess Friend. Yeah, it is. It is. It is. That's one of my favorite. Yes. Be yourself. That is like my all-time favorite movie.

Every time it's like, what's your fan? And like people want like a real film buff answer. I'm like, it's just friends. I love that movie. I do say that a lot. I do say that a lot. I know. I know.

She gets mad. But yes. I mean, Julie Haggerty is an icon. She's in that movie. She's in that movie. She was an airplane. Like, yes, she's epic. Epic.

And she does feel like everyone's mom at this point. Yes. Like we wrote that role with her in mind, but we weren't sure if she would do the movie and then we just got so lucky that she said yes. And also is the loveliest, like exactly like that in real life. That's so nice to hear. I'm curious about your writing. Do you always have someone in mind when you're writing it?

Does it help you to have someone that you're like that you're visualizing and that you feel for the part as you write it? Yeah, I think so. I think it does. But not necessarily an actor. A handful of the roles in this movie. We wrote the roles for the actors who played them like Danny Pouty,

who I worked with on Community, and Haley Joel Osmond, who I did a month of years ago. And we had been watching Haley in some, you know, he's been doing a lot of, like, comedic guest stars on shows. He did an episode of what we do in the shadows a couple seasons ago that we were rewatching.

we were like, Haley. Broad Ideas is supported by MagicSpoon. Growing up, cereal was one of the best parts of being a kid. But as I got older, I had to watch out for sugar and empty carbs.

Yeah, and just so, like, her vibe, I was like, what a different choice for this role that makes perfect sense watching it. Like, I was like, yes. to her. Yeah. Yeah, really works well. I mean, she might be the only kind of person that is not

someone. I don't know if there's anybody in my life quite like that. But it's more exactly what you're saying where, I mean, even what you guys said earlier, like, we love rom-coms. And I love that there are so many rom-com tropes that people know the formula. Yeah. And then you get to, it's like nice to know the rules so you can break the rules, right? And that character is definitely an example of that where we looked at any other sort of like wedding-based rom-com and the bride role. I mean, either you want the main characters to definitely be together, so then the bride has to be like evil and horrible. Right, right. Or she's like kind of sweet. She doesn't really know what's going on. You know, maybe she's very naive. And we were just like, maybe she should be the coolest

character in the movie. Yeah, because she really was the epitome of cool. You were just like, And I kept thinking that. I'm like, I don't know, wait, what am I supposed to do with this? You know what I mean? Because it wasn't, you couldn't hate her. And then you're like, but I don't want to like her. Totally. What am I supposed to do? And it really unfolds in a way. And she was so not like on the nose that it made it a really different experience. Totally. Yeah, we just wanted that character, I think, to really be unsettling for my character who's like trying to go forward with this plan. and she's not even quite sure what she's doing

and knows that it's kind of wrong and then is confronted with this girl who is not only awesome, but reminds her a lot of her younger self. She's like partly who she used to be, she kind of wants to emulate who she currently is. You know, there's so much... I just love analyzing female relationships.

I love the complicated nature of the way that women relate to one another. And with this character, I think we wanted to show it in a myriad of ways, the way that two women in one relationship can run the gamut from like, I love her, I hate her, I want to fuck her, I want to be her. Right. I'm inspired by her. And like two things can be true at the same time. Yep.

And then also we wanted to kind of show that my character sort of also even wants to protect her and save her the way she would speak to like her own younger self, right? She ends up kind of just learning so much more about her because Cassidy as a character has nothing to hide. She really is her full self. She's like that embodiment of true confidence. And Chersey Clements is an incredible actress and just played her to perfection. I feel like she embodies those things in a lot of ways herself. And she's like a really surprising performer. So when I was acting with her, it was really fun because I just never knew what to expect.

It was like a really different energy from. my own energy, which made a lot of sense for the movie. Which also, as the audience, I love that we were as perplexed as you were. Yeah. Do you always like sing everything? What? Yeah. Is that something you do?

Yes, it is. And that's why that is in the movie, too, yes, because I'm always like singing little ditties about our cats and about, like, washing the dishes and about whatever. That's what you meant. Yeah. I know. I just like want to know if she's like, why she's like, I want to know if she's. She just sings her life.

Her life is a... Yeah. Yeah. Do you narrate your life? Yeah. Do you? I do that too a little bit. I think, yeah, Davey likes to say that I never stop talking and it's true.

Well, this is why we have two cats, you know, so that even when he's not home, I have something in the room to, like, bounce my voice off. How did you guys meet? We met at Marty Grau in New Orleans. What? Random. Yes. Cool. It was super random and cool.

Yes. I feel like we've been telling this story a lot lately, but it was, I was with my friend Jules, who's immortalized. We named one of the characters after her in the movie, my friends, Jules and Serena, are Kirstie's bandmates. Anyway, I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and Dave had just flown back there. He was shooting a movie in New Orleans. Orleans and we actually ran into him at the airport. We have this mutual friend, so she invited him

to dinner with us. And he had a bunch of reasons why he couldn't come to dinner, but then all his plans got canceled when we landed in New Orleans. And he ended up coming to the meal. And you know, we were all drunk. And he was sitting across the table next to my friend. And she sent me a text like, you and Davy should hook up. And I was like, yeah. Okay. Let's do it. And then she showed him my text under the table and was like, my friend across the table, like, look at this exchange. What do you think? And he was like, oh, yeah, great, I'm in. And she was like, don't tell her that I showed you this text. And he was like, okay, great. And then she and I got up to go to the bathroom. And she was like, you and Davey? And I was like, I'm into it, but I don't know if he would be into it.

And she was like, he's into it. I showed him the text exchange under the table. And like, he's on board. She was like, don't tell him that I told you that I showed you. to him. So we both got to leave the bar with a sexy secret. And then we got, and then, you know, the next thing was me just kind of like walking up to Dave with this beer and being like, there's Molly in my beer. And I think we should split it and have a great night together. What do you think? Oh, my gosh. I was like that. I love that so much. And he said yes. He said yes. It was very romantic. You split a bottle of Molly spiked beer.

We split a little one cup of beer spiked with Molly. And then we were just like connected at the face for the rest of the night. Pretty much for like 48 hours. And then we exchanged, well, we exchanged numbers. Baudeliorits. We exchanged friends. The hat first. And then I left him this like silver Mardi Gras mask that I had been wearing all weekend,

which is, it was so gross and we still have it. I wrote my phone number on the back and like left that in his bag. And then we started texting and calling and we were like in different cities for the first, I don't know, six weeks of our relationship and just kind of like sort of then backtracked into a relationship where we had this like crazy first weekend and then started texting really sweet, cute stuff and getting on the phone to be like, you know, what kind of movies do you Like, what's your favorite band? And he would send me music. That's what I remember most from those first, like, amazing, you know, first weeks of like, oh, my God, I'm falling in love.

And he kept sending me all of the songs by his favorite artists that I made a little secret playlist. Of course. He didn't know about. Everyone has a soundtrack. Sweet boy song. Sweet boy song. Yeah. That's so cute. Boy song. It was all the songs he was sending me. And I don't even think I told him about that playlist until we've been dating for like two years. I was like, you know, I still have a lot of the music that you sent me. Oh my God. Wait, what are a couple songs from the playlist? No big deal. Do you know off the top of your head? Let's see if I still have it on my phone. I definitely still have it, but I think a bunch of them got deleted because you like switch to Spotify or something. Yeah. No, it's more like I've just like dropped phones in toilets too much between then and now.

Got it. You know. A little more. Okay, let's see. Oh, well, like the song that we consider that's like our song. Yeah. Is I found you by the Alabama Shakes. Aw.

I love that. I just like to get a vibe. I know, me too. Yeah. This is like girl stuff where I'm like, okay, I need to know, like what songs. Oh my gosh. Ho-Hay by the Lunars. Oh, yeah.

That's a good one. I like that it's a time, too. Like, you can totally tell it was 11 years ago when you guys like start. started dating and you're like, right? It was fully, ho-hey. That is so good. Better man. Leon Bridges. Oh, yeah.

I like your, I feel like I need a copy of your playlist. It's a good playlist. Marathon by tennis. Do you know tennis? No. Rob's nodding. Can you hear this? Is it a baby.

Smoke. Oh, I like the sound of it. Would I like that, Rob? This song, like, still gives me goosebumps. The song, like, puts a drop in the bottom of my stomach. Oh my gosh. Oh, for sure. I hear it.

I know. It encapsulates. Music does that. The time. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? And that moment, like I was so just a smitten kitten.

You know what I mean? And because we were, I would just play that song all the time. That's fun. You guys are really taking me back. Did you have a crush on him before you met him? No. No. No.

No. And I wouldn't have even thought, like, even that weekend, I think, you know, I'm like two and a half years older than him. And prior to him, I had only dated guys that were like six years older than me. Right. At a minimum, I feel like. And it just wouldn't have been, I think he was so attractive, not to be like so self-deprecating, but I would never have thought that he would be in my league, I think. I just like, wouldn't, I just would be like, oh, yeah, but that hot young guy, yeah, invite him to dinner. I'm like, whatever. I wasn't like, he'll definitely want to hook up with me this weekend.

Oh my God. His face is so sweet too. Like, it's very cute. Right? Yeah. You're looking at me. Like, you agree, right? You agree.

Yes, very sweet face. Sweetest face. We have some questions. Is it making you guys uncomfortable? I'm like, tell me how attractive my husband is. No, I'm just going to tell you. The thing he does is when he just looks. Nobody got this.

details, like, really specific. Do people tell him he looks like the guy that played, um, what's his face in White Lotus? Where is she going with this? I want to know. He looks like the guy that played. The guy that I really love. Yeah, the guy that, you know, yeah. I, I think that guy looks like his brother. You do? I thought he looks like this. I think you're right. I think he looks more like his brother than. You do? I thought he looked more like Dave. I do. I never thought that. And now that you say that in the eye. But she and his brother look alike. They do. It's like if that guy looks like. I mean, like one of them. I see we're coming from. They're related. Yeah, that guy. What's his name? And that guy looks like he could also be a brother. Theo James. Yeah, he looks like the older brother.

Or the middle brother. He should give him a name. He has a name. He has a name is Theo James. He's no John Hamm as God, but he is. Justice for Theo. Yeah. He's not God. He deserves a name. But he sure looks good. I'm just saying. Okay. All right, we have some questions we want to just ask you. Great. If you could only watch one movie for the rest of your life, what would it me. The American president starring Annette Benning and Michael Douglas. I could not love that answer more. Have you seen it?

I've never seen it, but I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm going to watch it now. What is it? I love it so much. It's a romantic film from the 90s that's written by Aaron Sorkin, by the way. And directed by Rob Reiner and it's basically about a woman.

Sidney Ellen Wade, played by Annette Benning, who's a lobbyist, who starts dating the president, who's a widower, but he's running for re-election, and it's like very taboo that the president

is dating this lobbyist. Can their love survive the midst of this media storm? It's so well done. I love it. I've seen it, you know, I mean, I've probably seen it over a hundred times. Like, I know it so well.

It's the movie that if I'm alone, like if I'm, if Dave's out of town or if I'm out of town working, I'll put it on to go to sleep. Yes, because I know it so well that I can close my eyes. I just like know everything that's happening and it like loves me to bed. Yeah. It's your cozy movie. Yes. And also if I'm like flipping channels on the TV and it's on cable, I still will put it on. And Dave to this, Dave will walk in and catch me watching it and he's like, what? Like I think he can't even believe the last. level of commitment I have to like watching it anew every time I see it. I love it. I love that answer more than anything. Yeah, it's really, that really did it for me. Yep. You want to go? Oh yeah. Okay. Would you rather give up your wedding ring or give up sushi forever? I mean, my wedding ring. Bye-bye. Dave said she would say that. What? Dave said you would say that.

That was from Dave, by the way. Is that true? Yeah. Well, by the way, I think that's what he would want for me because Dave's favorite food is sushi. Like, what if I could never go eat sushi with him again? And I also love sushi. And I mean, I love my wedding ring. Let me tell you, I'm like very obsessed with my wedding ring. But I'm never going to have sushi again.

Like, that's crazy. Do you love Dave or your wedding ring more? I guess I say, Dave. Okay. The pause is everyone. Yeah. Thank you for the pause. Yes, we appreciate it.

Okay. I just want you guys to know how much I do love my wedding ring. Oh. We definitely. We definitely get it. We're picking up what you're throwing now. Yeah. Okay.

If your husband had a fatal disease that could only be cured with him having sex with one of your friends, who would you pick? Are we friends now? Oh. I'm just scared. Oh, my God. Well, this is going to be weird because whoever I say, you're not going to know. So it's like just one of my friends is going to hear this and be like, me? Okay, let me think.

I guess I want to say, maybe I'll say my friend, okay, I'm going to say my friend Talia because, no, look, it's a little risky. I know Talia through Dave. They know each other since, like, middle school, high school. But, like, so on the one hand, it's a little bit of a gift to him. Like, look, you know her really well and you guys are close friends. Talia's married and has a baby. But she's, like, me and Dave's mutual best friend where we spend time with her together with her and her husband, Tim. But also, we like to have our solo Tali.

time. So it's like not uncommon that I'll be like, where are you going? And he'll be like, I'm going to go hike with Talia. And I'll be like, I'm hiking with her tomorrow. We always like to have our one-on-one Talia coffee hike time. And I trust Talia. And in a way, I said it was a gift to Dave, but maybe deep down, I actually know that they like have known each other for so long that they both would find it like a little cringy. Right. So I know that I'd be safe. Yeah. I like that That's a bad answer. Yep. Yes. All right, my turn. If you were to start a nudist colony, what are the rules?

No photos or videos. In fact, probably like no phones of any kind. Mm-hmm. Yeah, like, how would you even, I mean... You'd have to hold it. Right. Yeah. You'd have to walk them up. Like, at a comedy show. No, but I'm just saying, like, if you're a name, you don't have anywhere to put your phone. Yeah, it's like a Jack White concert.

Yeah. Yeah. You'd have to really be using it all the time. Exactly. So, yeah, so that's an obvious one. And that's it. No. There's no, like, what about like cooking or cleaning?

I was going to say about food, yeah, because I think about Cal Arts and how, like, the cafeteria was the one space where you had to wear clothes. Right. Although I do think there was one time where I tried to kind of challenge it. and I Winnie the Poohed it in there. Like I just had a shirt and shoes, like restaurant rules. Like no shirt, no shoes, no service. I just went in like shirt, shoes, and like completely bottomless. I love it.

And they allowed it. But I agree. I think that like maybe you just need like, I mean, if you're handling, if you're preparing food. Right. Then the genitals need to be covered, I think. I feel like that's fair. Satchel. I don't want to know that like a dick was flipping my pancakes, you know?

Like, that just sounds. Yeah. Although I'd be impressed. Yeah. I mean. Yeah, like the dick actually. The peanut? I mean, think about it.

I would want to watch a dick flip somebody else's pancakes. So that's another rule. Okay. Who are you more star-struck by? Kevin Smith or Gregory Gorday. Oh, my God. You guys asked Dave for a lot of. of these questions, didn't you?

He offered them just on his own. A cord. Davy gave me so much shit for being so starstruck in front of Gregory because he's a top chef winner question mark. He was on top chef multiple times and we went to his restaurant in Portland called Khan, K-A-N-N. It is so fucking good, by the way, that restaurant. And I was so starstruck by Gregory that day. that Davy was like, get a hold of yourself.

Like, I get very star-struck. But by equal turn, I think Davy said the same thing to me when we met Kevin Smith at Sundance. And I think probably I was more star-struck for Kevin Smith. Because Kevin Smith is like an icon from my adolescence. Sure. When I was in middle school, I remember a friend, we like got our friends, neighbors, brothers, brothers.

to rent clerks for us when we were like 12 and watched it after school one day when my friend's parents weren't home. And they say so much dirty shit in that movie. It felt like really exciting and dangerous. And then we were obsessed with all of Kevin Smith's movies and we rented them all. And I like knew all the lines to mall rats and chasing Amy and all that stuff. And then I met Kevin Smith at Sundance and tried to like explain my fandom to him. And he was kind of just like, cool cool oh yeah really shot down and then we did like some interview with him and it was the same where i was just like i was like too too excited and even kevin smith was like yeah all right i got it oh oh oh no oh you're important to me oh that's such a letdown was that your most starstruck moment

or is there anyone that's like really freaked you out well the two other ones i can think of were I was pretty star-struck. I met John Stewart when he was still doing the daily show. I went on. And that was one where it caught me off guard. Like, I didn't think. I was just like, they were like, John's coming back to say hi before you shoot.

And I was like, oh, great. And he came in. And then I was like a giggly schoolgirl. Like, he's so, he's smart. He's so smart. He's cute and he's smart. He's funny. Oh, my gosh.

And then more recently had a, a run-in with Francis McDormand. Oh my God. That's a good one. I met Francis McDormand at the SAG Awards and I was a little stoned and Mark Marin, who I was working with on Glow, I had just come up to me to say, I just met, he had just, so it was like he met her. It was just like they, her movie three billboards, you know, was winning all the awards and she won the Oscar that year. This was right before that. And Mark had just met her that night and came over to our table to be like, Francis McDormons a big fan of our show.

And we all were like, oh, my God. Like, I don't even know what to do. So then, like, an hour after that, now I'm a little stoned. And I'm saying hi to somebody at the three billboards table. And I turn and Francis McDormons there. And I'm just, like, spellbound. And she looks at me. I'm like, oh.

And she looks at me. And she goes, you. Like in a sweet way like you And I go You And she's like No, you And I'm like, no you

And she's like No, you And I'm like No, you And then she just gives me a look like Shut up Why I was just like And then I just paused

And then frantically Trying to be like I'm so sorry, thank you What a nice compliment Coming from you Because I'm just a really fan of you So that's why I said You so many times back to you

Because I was sort of It surprised me That you were saying you to me because I'm a fan of you, you know, and it just basically was bad. That reminded me of Lucy. Oh, yeah. I mean, you like stoned at those things. Like, do you ever like panic or is it like easier? Um, I think it's easier. I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it if you, you know, right. I, I, waited until like all the glow categories had been announced. I think it would make me really nervous to think that I was going to have to give a speech of any kind.

Like stoned. But luckily, I've never won anything, so I always get to get stoned and then just have a great night. Oh my gosh. Were you into gorgeous ladies of wrestling when you were a little? No, I wasn't. I didn't even know what it was until I read the pilot for Glow. And then I watched a bunch of the episodes and I was like, what? I was obsessed.

You were? Really? Cest. It is wild. When Glow came out, I was like, I feel seen. Like, finally someone gets it. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah.

My God. Me and my sister would dress up as the characters every weekend and be like gorgeous ladies of wrestling and like come up with names and do the whole thing and the outfits. And like, yes. So when glow came out, I was like all day. Yes. Yeah. I loved it. I mean, it was a wild show because they didn't just wrestle, but they actually did do like weird sketches.

Yeah. And wraps. Oh, my God. Yeah. I was obsessed. Now I'm like, I have to go, I have to watch it. I got to watch Glow because that sounds like. Oh, Glow is on a long list for you.

I have a list, man. American president and number one. Clearly. Great. Yes. I'm highly recommend. Yes. Okay.

Did you go or did I go? Um, I don't know. What are your thoughts on unsolicited dick picks? Ooh, big no, no. Absolutely not. Recently, not that recently, but I feel like a couple years ago, I was getting sent dick pics. What?

Like, I was just getting sent dick picks. Like, I don't know who got a hold of my number. Oh my God. But it's like especially, imagine like an unsolicited dick pick on a dating app is a huge no. Right. It seems totally jarring and awful. But an unsolicited dick pick when you're just like walking down the street when you're not even involved, just like texting my mom.

Like, who else is texting me? And it's just someone's dog. Like, it's jarring. Agreed. I could not agree with you more. If you could trade places with anyone for a day, who would you pick? Dolly Parton. Oh, my.

Dolly? Her life must be interesting and different. I'm so curious to see all her secret tattoos. I would like to know, like, what her closet looks like. A day in the life of dolly would be really. Yeah, get on her tour bus. Like what kind of pajamas does she wear? You know?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm all about that. Your turn. Oh. Would you rather watch a horror movie every night before you go to bed or have to release one loud fart in public once a day? Wow. If you can't tell, this is also from your lovely husband. I could tell. From your lover. Wait, the first one is every day. day for the rest of my life. Every night before you go to bed, watch a horror movie.

Or release in public. Would you really? I guess the question is, like, do I, is it on an unexpected moment? Are you scared? No, I don't hate them, but they really scared me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I, I honestly love them and Dave loves them. And he would watch a horror movie every night if I would allow it. But I get so scared. Like, there are times where we'll go on a horror movie. We'll go on a horror movie. horror movie run and watch a few, and then I don't sleep for like two weeks. Yeah. So usually these days I have him vet. He like pre-vets the horror movies for me. That's love. Because some are just scary and brutal and others. He's like, this is like

very artfully made. It's a really good movie. You should watch it. It's worth the scare. And that's great news. But, you know, I don't mind farting. It's, Okay. Good. Good to know. It's funny. All right. What's one thing your partner could do that would make you never speak to him again? Never speak to him again. That's an intense question. Who came up with that? Rob. I mean, something, I don't know, something bad, something to have to do with like my family, you know? Oh. Right? Like something. He'd have to murder. Yeah, like murder a member of my family. That's the only thing.

And you could do anything else. Anything else is acceptable. What's your weirdest turn on? She's sitting back for this one. She's leaning back. Lean in back and thinking. She's sinking out of frame and she's gone. What's my weirdest turn on?

Honey? What do you think my weirdest turn on back is? Did he say that that weirdest? have a turn on. He said receiving flowers, which I do enjoy. I don't know. You know what I like to do. I mean, I like rewatching my husband's movies and it embarrasses him. And like if he's really funny in a scene, then I'm like, you're like, yeah. You're getting that dick. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. I totally get that. I totally get that too. Yeah. Because I only date people in movie. I'm just kidding. Because I don't. Because I, um, Only, you know, date famous people.

Didn't I just say that? Didn't I? If you had to pick another famous couple to swing with, who would you pick? Oh. Ooh, if we had to pick another famous couple to swing with, who would we pick? Well, you know, I mean, I just, I'm just coming back from taping Fallon and Ashton Coochard was on. Oh, yeah. And I feel like that's a no-brainer, Ashton and Mila.

Like, yes, please. I think that that's the thing is that it really does have to be fair. Like, fair. You know what I mean? Like, that would be a gift. to him and you. We're talking about swinging with other couples not. What are you talking about?

Sushi? I didn't know what the questions we're going to be like. We're talking about it. He's like, did you really give up sushi? Dave's like, I didn't know what the questions on this podcast we're going to be like. He's like, sushi or you're talking about sushi. And now we're swinging with other couples. He's like, hang on.

Yeah, he's like, click. He's like, where is this? He can't hear you guys either. He's only hearing me being like, I guess we'd want to swing with. Ashton and Mila. He's like, what? How do I get involved in this? You're like, honey, pack your bag.

Oh, my God. I'm going to go be in a thruple. Yeah. You know what? I think he would appreciate. Oh, no. Maybe. Do you have anything else?

I mean. Oh, no. The rest of them, they're, I mean, they're all like, if you were to agree to a threesome, with another woman, what would be? I can't. What? What would be the ground rule? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And parameters.

Like, you know, yeah. It's a real question. Okay, first of all, it's a good question. First of all, I think the woman, it shouldn't be somebody that either of you know, really, right? I think it's better when it's a stranger and nobody's coming into it with, like, a pre-existing relationship. Yeah. Or feelings or things like that. And beyond that, anything goes, baby.

You're like, fair game. Wait, I thought of one more, which is like, then no texting after, right? Oh, that's a good one. Right. Yes. No communication post threesome. Not an open-ended invitation. He's like, what are you guys talking about?

I know. Just throwing a look over there. Yeah, because the last one I had was how do you feel about open relationship? So, you know, it's all. That's a good question, though. I don't think I could do it, but I think it's great if it works for people, then that's great. You know what I mean? I think people should do whatever makes them happy.

And like, I kind of think it's awesome if people do it and they are actually both enjoying it and secure enough and love each other. And, like, all of that stuff seems like it would require a lot of. communication. And even like on a base level, sorry, I know that's like a fun, silly question. I took it to like a very serious. No, we want. Let's give the actual love advice. No, no. No, we like serious. Yes. I think that, yeah, you'd need a lot of communication. Like, even if I could wrap my head around it at the start, I don't know. I just think it would get messy fast. I just think it's not for me. Yeah, like a one-off, but like a one-off. A one-off never. Yeah. Three-off never. Yeah. I'm like, that's fine. I just found out there was this little community that a bunch of people were swingers in,

and I had no idea. And I was like, yeah. You didn't tell me. Where? Oh, I got to tell you. In Northern California. Text me the number. All very wholesome people.

I was shocked and offended that nobody invited me. No. Did you watch that show Sex Life on Netflix? Sex like. starring Sarah Shott. Oh, I started the first season. That was intense. I watched all the first season.

Is there a second season? I loved it. There is a second season, I did too. But I don't think the second season hasn't come out yet. I feel like I would have already devoured it. Coming out. And there was like a prosthetic penis involved or something. Is that right?

Oh yeah. In the beginning with the big old. It was fake, right? Yeah, because we all were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah, yeah. I think I just watched that episode and like fast forwarded to it because I heard so much about it. I'm like, what is this big dick everybody's talking? Like, how big are we talking?

Is it fake? I'm like, I've seen that show. Well, I've only seen seven seconds of that show. I've seen like the one frame of a large penis. And that counts. Well, anyway, they end up going to swingers parties where I feel like it's often in communities right where you maybe wouldn't expect it. I know. And again, I say like, great.

Yeah. More power. Like, do it. Yeah, me too. I just couldn't. You couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. No.

I don't know I couldn't do it or have my partner be with someone else you know I would get too jealous but I would rage

I would rage but there's something nice about thinking about swingers and that they do it together you know that that's kind of like it's not like I'm going to go off and do my thing

I don't know it's better that than hiding it right Yeah. That's cheating. I guess, but I guess it depends person to person. That's called cheating. That's called cheating. Here's my, I have a question. So when you were in college and you were doing the whole nudist thing at Cal Arts, did you have to like warm up to that? Or did you see it happen and just be like, oh, cool. Or were you like, I have to get comfortable with this? Oh, I was comfortable with it. I mean, no one was like forcing me to take my clothes. off. No, I know, but like, did you have to warm up to the idea where you're just like, oh, cool. Natural instinct? To be like, yeah, I want to be free. Yeah, I think I was always like a comfortable, naked person and always had a silly sense of humor that kind of revolved around like dirty jokes and nudity and stuff. Like, even when I was a kid, we not new, nothing nude. I just want to flag this as I'm

going to talk about being a child. But I remember we would put on little skits for our parents. where we would do like S&L style sketches, but we were kids. But, you know, mine was like I'd come out in like a trench coat, like I was a flasher, but fully dressed underneath. But I would open the coat and have like a hot dog between my legs and do a little commercial for like edible weeners. Like you, I just was like, that was just my sense of pure. And I think honestly, it's probably part of why I wanted to go to Cal Arts. I had friends, I had a friend who was there a year ahead of me. So I knew. that it was this like really open hippie school and I was open to that kind of stuff and I'm sure once I got there it was little toe dips in right like I said with the Halloween party and they definitely don't have this anymore but my first year in the springtime they had what was called the erotic ball which was like everybody would go naked or in lingerie and stuff and it was like not a swingers party but a sexual extravaganza type party it's like we already everybody was so going to parties in our underwear. And then I just like to make my friends laugh. And, you know,

before I was just putting tennis shoes on and streaking across the campus, I was more apt to, like, take off all my clothes and just like run outside the window of my dorm room just to make my roommate laugh and be like, you know, hanging from a tree. And like, I liked the danger element of it and stuff like that. But it's not like, even referencing my nudity in college, I was never like the naked guy. You know what I mean? I was never just like, I'm naked all the time at school. That would be interesting. Yeah. It still felt like exciting every time I did it, which is part of why I liked it and still like it. I mean, I was streaking the halls at the hotel before our premiere in L.A. on Wednesday. Wait, what? Hold on. What? That's amazing. That's synchro.

You know, I was feeling a little like low energy, tired. We've been doing the rest. We've been doing the rounds doing press and then we were getting ready for our premiere and Dave didn't know that I snuck out into the hall. I took up all my clothes. Then I ran up and down the hall. And then I knocked back on the door. And he's like, just a sec. Like, like, thought it was like, just like, he's like hurry and getting right. Yeah. He's like, oh, God. Finally, he opens the door. I was just standing there like, naked. How does he feel? Get out of the hall. He's still so funny about it. I'll be naked, you know, in a hotel room and, like, walk towards the window. And he still will just be like, Bay, the window. Oh, I got the window. And I'm like, we're just put a movie out. People can see it.

They could see it. Yeah. Whatever they want. Yeah, you're like, it's there. Oh, my God. I can't handle you. What hotel were you in? I mean, the London. Okay. I mean, just like, naked running down the hole. No. That's why it was like so hard. I honestly was like a letdown. because I didn't see anybody in the hall. But then I like press the elevator, but. But then nobody was there. Oh, my God. What if you just like went to every floor?

You just like riding the elevator hoping someone. We had been doing our press junket like a floor below. So there was like, I was like, do I just run the journalist floor? But my publicist was like, Allison, no. What I love about it, though, is that normally people, at least in my experience, the people I've seen that like like to get naked or do something that are like, funny, I'm going to do a naked funny bit. Don't tend to be that attractive. Sure. Right. No? What are you saying? Yeah. Like you've got to follow up with. No, that's it.

Totally. No, I'm saying. I'm saying that it's, it's so much funnier that you're actually attractive doing it. Because normally it's like the guy you don't. Yeah, I was like, okay, and. I was looking at Rachel to say it because I thought she could pick up what I was dropping. I know. I don't know if it's funnier. But I find it equally as funny. And I appreciate it.

I think it's amazing. How many attractive people do that? Not as many. Start taking off your clothes. Not as many. Oh my God. But I did die like when you do streak across. the golf course. Oh, good. No, that you were fully just, yeah, I was very impressed.

So was high. Yeah. Thank you. Well done. And we do these little bits to promote the show. We'll do like a little video or something fun. And Rob's going to streak across the backyard. What should we do? And I was like, we should streak. I mean, duh. I wish we would have shown up today, like, like, on Zoom, but you couldn't like see, but you just like looked like you were naked. If I were just totally naked, I just As she takes off She took off her sweats She can't see

No Whatever you have to You have to be naked. No. No, I want you to be your true self. What is he saying? Yeah, you like, why are you naked right now? She's really naked. You put his headphones in so he hasn't been paying attention. And then just now I just got a little like, double take. Like, why are you toplet? It's set up out of bed. It's not, it's okay. Everything's fine. This is just audio. He's like, you're not allowed to play with them again.

It's just audio. All right, let's do it. Okay. Leon Bridges, Paul Rudd, Theo James. Thanks, Rob. Whoa. Okay, okay. We're going to kill Theo James because we have too many people that look like him already.

We're going to fuck Leon Bridges because his music is sex. It is. It's like sex for your ear holes. You're going to marry America's best friend. You got it. Paul Rudd. Yeah.

Who wouldn't marry Paul Rudd? Exactly. Yes. I would. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. That's the move. Although.

That was the right answer. Yeah, you did really good. Who's too quick to kill Theo James? The guy from White Lotus that you brought up. Oh, my God. My brain is. My brain doesn't work. No, it doesn't.

She literally is like, who's Theo James. I'm like, you brought up. brought him up in this conversation. I mean, come on. Get it together. I thought he was great on the show. I feel like I should now give a compliment because I killed him so quickly.

Wasn't he great? Fantastic. He was great. I know. And then I look at like, what's wrong with me because we've talked about how I was, like, so attracted to him

and he's clearly, like, not a great guy on the show. Can we have her fuck, Mary, kill the three guys on White Lotus? Why? Just for fun, because I like to know. What's the third guy? No.

No. No. Which three? Yeah. The British guy that is like the nephew. Oh, the one you love. Yeah, the one I like. The dirtbag.

The nephew. The nephew. Yes. Aubrey's husband on it. Is his name Ethan? Ethan. And then what was the other one? Deogen.

But we already know she's going to kill him. You want to give her something? She might not with this combination. Oh. Or throw the grandpa. Yeah, that's interesting. Um. Yeah, I'm still going to kill him.

I knew she was still going to kill him. But I actually was thinking about it. And then I'll fuck the nephew. Thank you. And they'll marry Ethan. Yeah. You can throw Alby in instead of. No, she doesn't want Alby.

Who's going to want to fuck Alby? No. No. He's not the one. She did the right thing. She just wants to fuck the nephew. Allison, you are beautiful. You are talented.

I loved your movie. I'm so excited for you. And it was so nice to meet you. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me on. So do you feel weird that we have clothes on? I know. Yeah, I feel very weird that you guys are clothed right now.

Rob, that sounds terrible. I know that was the joke. Oh. That was the joke. Rob's full of jokes today. So we never... Sitting would be really awkward if I didn't have clothes on. She's full, like, straddling couch.

Nice view of her butt hole from over there. I'd have a nice view of her butthole. That's lovely, Rob. I just kept wanting to sing the song. Go ahead. Somebody that I used to know. The Giotie I song? Yeah.

I asked Dave about that. He said they very intentionally did not want to use that song for the movie. But that's where it came from? No, I mean, sort of. That's just a phrase. But isn't that where everyone's mind goes? If you know the song Who doesn't know the song?

It was a very popular song in its day That was a great song I loved it when it came out How did Rob feel about it? I liked that song It was very different from all the other music they made And make I hear Vincent crying

I want him in here Even crying Yeah I want a baby Rob an observation we made So like we ran into Rob at the coffee place Before this this morning Oh, good.

And Rob always goes on like these coffee dates. Like, oh, I'm meeting so-and-so for coffee. And I brought it up to him the other day. And I'm like, you never ask us to coffee. So they spend time with you anyway. I think he's sick of us. Are you sick of us? No, it's because I'm spending time with you anyway.

Do you get sick of Rachel? Yes. No. Oh. Wait. Why are you being sweet? Because he's trying to make, he doesn't want us to attack him. He's trying to leave me alone.

Yeah. He's like, how can I get him? get them to lay off. Olivia and I were talking on our way over about a really, really fascinating and interesting topic. I bet this was. Oh, you don't think it was, do you? We'll see.

Do you know, first of all, do you even understand? So we do this, right? And we talk to each other all the time on the podcast. And then we drive in the car and we talk to each other when we're with each other. then we get out of the car and call each other and talk. Then we get home, spend a little time with our families and talk. You would think we were done. Literally, I was on the phone with my mom.

I'm like, Mom, Olivia's calling. I have to hang up. I pick up. It's Olivia. We talk for a half hour the entire time that she's driving to me to get in the car with me to then drive here. And we don't hang up until I get out of the car to get in hers. That was not our call. conversation. Our conversation was about John Mayer. John Mayer. Yes. First thoughts on John Mayer, Rob.

I don't have... He is your kind of musician, clearly. I don't have many thoughts on John. He seems seems like a nice guy. Okay. Olivia in the car today was like, how did you start it off? Do you want to know how I really started it off? I do. I said you should fuck John Mayer. Oh, that's how I started it off. I said, I think. you should DM John Mayer because I was watching a Bob Sagitt tribute. Okay. And apparently John Mayer and Bob Sagitt were like best friends, which says everything I need to know about John Mayer. Yeah, she said that and I was like, he was best friends with Bob Sagitt. Like, come on. Okay, I get it. Like that's just, that's just, you know, he's just like a full person. So he's doing this tribute.

Chris Rock said the most genius thing I've ever heard in my life. He said, you know what you do, John? You write clitature. That's what he does. So good. I mean, him and Bob Sagitt were such good friends that he flew Bob Sagitt's body out. I know. I can't. Because that was his buddy.

And then he talked really poignantly about his friend Bob. I can't. And it just, I was like, this person is such a human. And it made you both horny? Is that where this conversation is? No, I'm not horny. I thought, I'm neutral currently. But I do love that he was best friends with Bob Sagitt.

I just thought, well, if anyone might be horny, they should probably hit up John Mayer. Like... I'm just like, the conversation eventually got to. You should... No, it started with that. That was her opener. That was her opener.

So I wasn't making a leap by asking. Oh, if it made us warm? Our vachina's warm. Yeah. He does sing my favorite song of all times And I Times? All time

All time Do you think Rachel's too old for him? Yes Probably 1,000% You think so But he dated people our age I think

I think he dates in the 20s Is he like a Leonardo DiCaprio type I don't know I don't want to compare I don't know either of them personally But I will say I believe he likes the 20 range I mean I also He probably would be willing to

That's what I said She just wants me to sleep with him Yeah I'm not looking to get married Yeah I'd probably be willing to Do you think We're going to see where this podcast goes See what happens Oh geez

No Put me in the hot seat What if I don't want to sleep with him? Some things in life you do for your people I'm not asking her to date him I'm just asking her to have like a little Night in the sack as they say Do that?

I mean he's best friends with Bob Sagitt and Dave Chappelle. Yeah, I know. That's going to be a good time. And apparently Bob Sagitt was like the most loved man in all of the entertainment industry. Oh. You know what he said? And I said this to Jeff yesterday because he was coming at me with some stuff. And I said, you know what, Jeff? Just like Bob Sagitt, I don't do negativity. Bob Sagitt didn't do negativity. Wouldn't do negativity. What do you mean? So he had like a firm stance against it. Like he wouldn't read negative comments. He wouldn't. He wouldn't. When it read that, he'd be like, I don't do negativity. I like that. And I'm just like, fuck, yeah.

That's amazing. I don't read negative comments. I just delete them. Well, how do you know they're negative then? I just know. Aw, he was, that's really nice. Yeah. Yeah, that one hurt.

The tribute was really, really beautiful. Yeah, I believe it. What else were you and Jeff talking about yesterday? That wasn't what we were talking about. silly girl. Oh. You're trying to fish. I'm fishing for sperm.

You mean what were we playing? Oh, right. What were you playing? Well, so you can either call it baby roulette or sperm roulette. Oh, he came inside you? No. Oh, well. It seems like either yes or no.

I was ovulating. Yeah. And I was like, I'm ovulating. Do you want to have a baby? Like, last chance. This is probably the last. chance it's ever going to be because of my age. And he was like, are he serious? And I was like, well, we can see what happens. And then he was like, are you like, he couldn't understand. And he's

like, do you want me to, I'm like, does he want another? He was one badly. You're the one that's been on the fence. I'm the one that's been a no. But also if she sees a baby, she's like, I need one right now. Right. So then I gave him the opportunity and he didn't take it. And I was so relieved. because I thought about it and I was like breastfeeding and pumping and like

being up all night it sounds horrible but then when I see Vincent when I see Rob's baby I'm like I gotta go home I gotta go have a baby

All right favorite rom-coms When Harry Met Sally is one of my all-time favorites Oh sweetest thing Is that considered a rom-com?

the sweetest thing? I haven't seen it. If I say just friends, Olivia's going to throw something at me. My best friend's wedding, I always loved. I've seen that a lot, actually. You have that movie.

Because it's Chicago. Well, my sisters love that movie. But it takes place in Chicago. It's like, I love letter to Chicago. My favorite thing was that she said the American president was the one movie she watched for the rest of her life.

You can say some, and I'm probably going to be like, oh, yeah, that. What are your rom-coms? I love Mystic Pizza's not a rom-com. I don't love that one, but no, it's... Oh, Bridget Jones Diary.

That's a good one. Absolutely obsessed with that movie. Does 10 Things I hate about you count? Yeah, that's great. I love 10 things I hate about you. 50 first dates. Does that kill? No, that counts.

No, that counts. I don't know if that's a rom-com. I really am a sucker for a rom-com. But I even like practical magic. Sweet Home Alabama. Sweet Home Alabama. I love. Love.

Love that movie. I love all of them. There's not one I don't like. Yeah. I like them all. I know. I couldn't. That's so hard.

I don't know what my favorite is. My brain isn't working. Well, there's a lot. And it's hard to. Do you like like sleepless in Seattle? Like any old school. Yeah, I love it. I remember seeing that in theaters with my mom.

Big. I mean, what's it called? Splash. I loved. I wasn't big into Splash. What's the one Joe versus the volcano? Oh. Joe versus the volcano is amazing.

Epic. There's so many. I love them all. I really, if I could only watch rom-com, I think that's when I was a kid. I always loved love. Like anything that had a love story, even now to this day,

like Rob picked his book for this month. I'm like, is it a love story? Because if it's not, I don't know if I can get down. Oh, that's a good reminder. Yes? We have a book. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, let's talk about it. But we haven't talked about it yet. Correct. So talk about it, Rob. Woody Woodpecker? What is it? The Woody Woodpecker comic book? This month we're doing Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker.

Can you give a little tiny bit of a synopsis? When you read the synopsis? It's all over the place. Still Life with Woodpecker is a sort of love story that takes place inside a pack of camel cigarettes. That's all you should say. Yeah, done. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism

and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads. Is that a problem? Of redheads? I have a lot of redheads in my life that I'm a huge fan of. We'll find out. What's up with that?

So do I. My sponsor, my sponsie, and my therapist all redheads. I have... Very close friends of briars that are redheads and I love them dearly. Okay. Calvin's good friend is a little redhead too. Why is there a problem? I don't know, Rob, I don't know about this book.

We'll find out. We'll find out. I don't know how I feel about that. Okay. So that's our book. Read it. Is Love Actually considered a rom-com? I would say yes.

Love It. I love, Love Actually. I love, love actually. Did you guys see wrist cutters? No. That's a good one. Robin is weird out of left field. What are the Sandra

Bullick ones. Oh, Miss Congeniality? Yes. If you know it through a wall, you know it too well. Love anything Sandra Bullock. Oh my God. Yes. That one is, what's the, yeah, Miss Congeniality. I'd die for that. I mean, Julie Roberts always had them. Notting Hill. I never watched that one that much. Notting Hill wasn't my very favorite. It wasn't my very favorite either, but I liked it. I mean, I'll watch it. What else? I'm trying to think Julia Roberts. Are you looking up rom-coms, Rob? Can you find out there? My best one out there. Obviously. Her. I like her. That's not a rom-com. That is not a rom-com. Yeah, it is.

No, it's not. 500 days of summer. I loved that. That was cute. That was great. Garden State. There's one for me. I loved Garden State.

Loved it. I think we really love rom-com. We really love rom-com. I mean, these are like Andy Rom-com. Yeah, no. Lost in translation. Rob. Those aren't.

Yeah. What we're learning is there's a very loose definition on what makes a rom-com. Serendipity. Here it is. I love it. I mean, rom-com was very of an. era too, though. That was like Well, I don't know. There's some oldies.

I mean, there are oldies. Like 80s, 90s was very heavy rom-com or at least a particular type of rom-com. The like Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bollick, Julia Roberts. I don't think Drew Barrymore was early 90s. I think she was later. But yes, Julia Roberts, Santerbolic. What about some Cameron Diaz ones?

In her shoes. So, my bet. I'm telling you. The sweetest thing. The sweetest thing. Also, not as well known. The body's banging in your faces, too. Oh, what?

How to lose a guy in 10 days. Brilliant. Great. One of my favorites. That is a great one. That's when I'll always leave on. Always. If it's on, I'm watching it.

Same. 100%. Yep. I think we've really. We've covered. We really. Covered it all. Let's talk about who we're going to have Rachel DM.

John Mayer. No. Will you stop? Oh, that's what our bets should be. Like if we do bets or games where we're playing against each other, if you lose, you have to DM who Rob and I choose for you to DM. This is going to be a guest on the show or for her to sleep with? For her to sleep with. No!

I think we start with guests on the show and then see how it goes. This is the casting couch. How'd your show premiere go? Did you watch it? Did you watch it yet? People, have people reached out and been like... You know, it's already out there, so spoiler alert. But people were surprised to see me be a bad guy.

Have you gotten good feedback? I think so. I gave her great feedback instead of my mom. Anyone at, like, the coffee shop or bookstores? Did something happen then I'm forgetting? No, I was asking of it. No, people were like, positive. Did you watch it, Rob?

Yeah, Rob. No, not yet. Not yet. What kind of friend are you? I know. I would never be that person, though. How do you feel, though, about that? About what?

People watching it? I don't. I think I do not expect it ever. And I'm like, oh, you know, that's nice. But like, you know, if people say like, oh, I'm going to watch it and then they don't even remember that it's on, like, I think that would be kind of like. But do you like care? Like, does it, does it hit you in a nice way? If someone's like, hey, I watched that.

I knew that thing was coming out. and I watched it. I think that's sweet and caring. Yeah, sure. That would be nice. But I would never be like, oh, you didn't know my show is on. I know you wouldn't. You've never done that once.

Ever. But I think it is also like, I don't know. I feel like it would mean something to me if someone took the time to like sit down and be like, I'm going to watch this. Sure. You know who I loved. Who? Was the girl, the young girl. Yeah, they did a really good job.

I agree. Anyways Any Hewelhouser How's your love life been going? Great. How about you guys? Great. You ready for Valentine's Day?

It's this week. Oh, Breyer loves Valentine's Day. It's this week? Oh, it's this week, yes. It's tomorrow. Oh. Yeah. Okay.

I've got to hit up Seas. See's candy. For me? Always. Do you do something special for now? Natalie? Yeah, what do you do for Natalie? We usually agree not to do anything. You don't even get a roses or chocolates?

Well, I order flowers for her that are coming. From 1-800, Caboom? No, Cabloom! No, from Whitt Hazen. This really cool flower shop in Italy. Of course. No, Robb, Snobby-Robie only does the finest. Which is nice.

It is nice. When it comes to florists, yes. What's it called? Whitt-Hazen. Whit-Hazen. I might order from county line. Yep. County line florals.

Yeah, I mean, people have varying opinions on Valentine's Day. Do you expect something if you're dating someone? Well, that's a... That's like a depends question. Like, how long have you been dating? Like, well, you know. But if you've been dating... We got time. We can...

Depends. Depends. All right. You started dating for Valentine's Day. You're approaching a year of dating. Not a new relationship. Yeah, I think it's nice to be thought of on Val. I mean, I would like something, I guess.

Even though Valentine's Day, yes, everyone's like, oh, Hallmark, Holiday, whatever. I just like nice gestures in general, so I think that would be showing something thoughtful, would be appreciated. And would you get mad if they didn't? Mad? Or upset, hurt. Pick your adjective. Not happy. I would probably be a little disappointed that they didn't.

like think of it or something probably would you call them out or keep it to yourself it depends on their relationship I have been known to be passive aggressive sure that checks out but here's one thing I will add to that for her is that she would never forget so even if she were to want like a little gesture she would have something ready for them yeah that's true would you so it's not like you're just like I want no no I love giving gifts that's my favorite thing like I love but so I would definitely have something, whether it's like their favorite candy or like, yeah, a little gesture. Or like, oh, this is your favorite dinner. I made it for you. Like, yeah, gestures. Here's a scenario. What if you had a gift for them? Yeah. And then you knew that they didn't get you anything.

Would you still give them it? Yeah, I would still give it, of course. How are you supposed to be super passive, aggressive without giving them your gift? But it doesn't necessarily have to be a gift. It's also like cooking them their favorite meal, like those kinds of things. Yeah. Yeah, what about you, Lou? I don't really care too much about Valentine's Day. Yeah. I think that it's always really sweet to get some sort of thoughtful something. Right. Even if it's just a flower, I don't really care.

Totally. You know, and I always like to try and do something thoughtful as well, but like it may be a dry salami and cheese or something that, you know. Yeah, yeah. Is that like a love language for them? It's just like Jeff loves dry salami. So it's like not super soft. thing that I have in the house every day, but like on Valentine's Day I might like throw the dude to the law.

That's thoughtful. You know? Yeah. What about you? I already answered. That you guys said you wouldn't and you don't do it. You don't want anything done for you or. But you get flowers for Natalie.

I'll usually get her flowers. Occasionally we'll do gifts, but. I can't. Yeah. I'm not, we don't do like gifts. No. I mean, we've got to the point with a lot of holidays where. No, like if someone like brought me my favorite donut, like I'd be super

stoked. Side car. Yeah. Yeah. Jeff usually gets me chocolates, which is good. Are you going to dinner and doing anything? They've kids. You're kids, and it's during the week.

Well, we're going to dinner like Friday night. Oh, that's nice. Where are you going? Yeah, we don't do that. Bar Marino. Oh. Nice. No, it's more about the kids now.

Like, Valentine's Day is just about Breyer. Like, we'll do dinner. I'll get her presents. It is a little like Easter. It's terrible like a basket of like Valentine's Day stuff. I can't help it because I love. Also Shepard's birthday is two days after Valentine's Day. So we're like, you know.

Yeah. It used to be something I cared about more when I was young. Like make sure he makes a reservation and show up for you and all of that stupid stuff. You know, which brings up something like I've been in relationships where you're like, been together a while. Mm-hmm. And they don't know what to order you at a restaurant. Okay, that's weird. That's like a red flag.

What is up with that? Like I ordered pork chopped with mushrooms. I'm like, I'm sorry, have we met? You know what I mean? I do. And that was always like, what's the mean? It's like the cookie monster's wife giving him crackers for Christmas and him being like, it's like you don't even know me.

Have you often had food ordered for you? Or if you're at dinner, aren't you ordering your own food? I'm just giving an example. Here's the thing. Pick up. Order in. Is this happening where you're not. Well, this has happened in the past, where there's,

like, oh, I just took it upon myself ordered dinner. I appreciate that. I am so indecisive that I'm definitely a type of person that's like, you want to just order great, but like, know me. Like, don't fucking order mushrooms. You know what I mean? Like at a restaurant. Like, I've been on a date where the guy's like, do you want this, this and this?

I'm like, great. Sounds great. Order it. Done. I don't have to make a decision. Dream. But like bringing food home from a dude that you've been dating for a while. And like, that's what they order you is like, don't you find that that would be a red flag?

Well, yeah, it's like the cookie monster It's like wrong ring, wrong guy It's the red flag that you only tell us about after I don't think I told it after I think when that happened I was very current You were very loud on the megaphone about that one This girl does not like mushrooms I will tell you that much

I do not like mushrooms My mom was sick the other day with COVID And her husband was like I made you my favorite Fetuccini Alfredo What? Yeah, and she was like Wait, what? I didn't tell me that was the other side of that story. I just heard you say. What did you hear me say? Your mom had COVID and was going to eat fetuccini Alfredo and I'm like, that is so weird.

That's what she said. She was like, I don't want fetuccini Alfredo. Like who wants fetishini Alfredo when you're sick? No, like that's see, that's all about them. That is very concerning to me. I think that that's such a big deal. Yeah. You know, I do too. There's a lot of things. that are big red flag big deals. I like my food. I like what I like. Like could they pick out what you want at seize candy? That's also. Oh, I've played this game with Jeff. Does he get it right? See, this doesn't see Jeff's different though. Like, why is he different? He gets a, he kind of gets a pass because he loves you more than anything and shows it in so many ways. He might not remember like things like that. He'll know to get you seize candy and that's what

matters. He knows what not to get me there. He knows you don't like dark chocolate. He knows I don't want any kind of like fruit covered in chocolate. He knows I don't want coconut. He knows enough. Here's another thing. I think as best friends, like, we know each other in such a different way and level that maybe, like, I will get your exact order at Seas because we're doing it together. Jeff's not with you at Seas Canyon. It's unrealistic expectation for you to have for him to get. Yeah, but I know what he would want. Exactly. And I would know exactly what to put on a sandwich. I would know exactly what to order. Maybe it's a girl guy thing. Would you know exactly what to get Natalie anywhere? Anytime? Well, it's different. It's different with her because she's dairy allergy.

Right. So there's like two things on the menu. Yeah. And she'll change things up. So it's not, we're not just giving the same thing. But would she know exactly what to order you? Yeah. Right. So maybe. Well, I mean, depending. I like to change things up to you. You're not helping us I don't know It's interesting though We should take a poll

No I mean Last night she didn't know what to order me I mean we're also like Here tell me what you want From this place Do you get irritated if she gets it wrong No Would you take it personally if she got it wrong

No I've done that like where I've gotten Jeff things And I'm doing it for reasons He doesn't know But then when the food gets her he's like, you got me a, like a plate with like, instead of the burrito or what I'm doing it because I'm like, you said yesterday you wanted to eat butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, but he's like, no, don't listen to me. Like, get me the burrito. Yeah. Yeah. That's my favorite is that, do you know, do you, hey, best friend. Do you know why Jeff and I call each other sandwich? Please tell. No, I'm asking you if you know.

Because of his baloney sandwiches. No. What? Because when we were first dating, he was eating a Chipotle burrito and he dropped a part of it. And he went, oh, I ruined my sandwich. I was like, babe, that's a burrito. And he went, oh, I ruined my burrito sandwich. And then like a few hours later, we were.

Ooh, this is a great question. Pat yourself on the bag before you ask it. Because I know it's good. How do you feel about people nicknaming you? Before they really know you? Like shortening? Yes. I actually find it endearing.

I know a lot of people it bothers. It depends who, I think, maybe. Shortening is different than like coming up with their own nicknames. Oh, that's weird. Yeah, no, people do that, though. Like what? Just start calling you squirt? Yeah. What if actually that's, I would actually be like, yeah, they're in family.

No, yeah, I'm cute. What's a nickname they've come up for you? You know, like, I like it when people say, like, live, like that sweet, that's endearing. It's shortened, though. Like, oh, dog or, you know, it's just like. Who did you mean? And they're like, hey, oh, dog. Oh, Dizzle.
