Because people die. Welcome to Broad Ideas. Olivia's on her phone. Just wanted everyone to know that. She's not currently present with us. That's tough. I'm recording my feet and your feet. Oh, wait, don't get my sausage toe.

Okay, well, let me just. take a picture then. Okay, here. Don't. So my toe looks weird. Well, don't make it weird like that. Well, how am I supposed to do it? Be coy, would they?

Stop, she's giving me toe direction. Make your toes look like they like it. Hannah Pilkis is here today. Yay. Thank God. A blast. Let's just, please. Let's do it.

Please. Wait, are my shirt tags visible? No, you're good. I need to cut the, like, what you say? That's a pretty shirt. Thank you so much. I learned it sort of crinkles as soon as you put it on. Yeah.

You can't win with that material. Can't win. No, you sure can. That in like a slip dress for an event and then you sit and it's all wrinkled. Yeah. Where can you win is my question. Fucking nowhere. Where can you?

You're winning. Are we starting? Did we go? Oh. Oh, we're in. Yeah, I figured. I saw the clock. I'm like, you know what?

This is gold. So let's just do it. Thank you for being here. with us. I'm so happy to be here. I already watched this. Oh, you did? Yeah. Your episode? Yeah. I already watched me. I dreamed about it last night. Preemptor. I had a premonition. I was going to go well. Yeah. How to go? No, I just, I, anything that's cozy, just like friends is very, I need it in these uncertain times. They're very cozy content. Yeah. Everyone needs cozy. I live for cozy. Fall's not here yet, but I think we need to mentally be there.

The chunky knit of fall, apply that emotionally. Am I holding it like my security blanket? The chunky knit, I am. Hondo P. Yeah. I think that should be our new tag. Not Hondo P. No.

Oh, like Hondo P? Broaddice. That's Hondo P. No, it's like fall for your ears. Oh. Fall for your ears. A crackling fire. Play on word.

It's like a fucking pumpkin latte for your ears. A chunky knit for your ears. Yeah. Just chunky. You had knit turkey. There you go. Just knit. There was a pumpkin spice latte offering at the coffee place across the street already.

I don't like it. Do you like it? August. I think that's inappropriate. Okay. It's August. Yeah. It's premature.

It's 95 degrees outside. That's right. I'm concealing some, you know, my armpits are not pleased. Yeah. No ones are. Yeah. But then again, if you live in L.A., I would argue that there's no real seasons. So it's sort of like.

Sure. It's all a window. Do you really feel that way? Because I feel like it gets really fucking hot and really cold. I grew up in New York, so cold is different. You can't say it gets really cold. Well, it's not snowing, but it gets pretty cold. Have you gone out at night at 40?

I go out at night between December and March. I'm sorry. Did you say at 45? I don't mean the age. I mean the temperature. I know, but things change of 45. Do you go out at 45? Once you hit 45, you don't leave.

Well, what I will say is I think your blood quite literally changes when you're in a warmer climate. I thought it was hot here and then I went to a birthday party in Palm Springs and it was 110 last weekend. And I immediately regressed to toddler. I'm like, when are you going inside? Yeah, I couldn't handle it. But the cold, growing up in New York with hail and snow and not dressing for, you know, going to middle school and like a jean skirt and the chunky hugs. You're both different. This feels different.

Are you East Coast? No, I'm from here. I'm from L.A. I sound like, I've spent a lot of time in northeastern Canada. Okay. Because they film so many things there. True. And also my daughter's dad is from there.

Got it, got it. Many reasons, but also, yes. Yeah. Where in New York? I grew up, I always say when it was rent controlled. Upper West Side. Central Park West. Oh, and for you.

Up? Stop it. Yeah. Yeah. Little apartment. but I mean sheep's meadow across the street and that's where and the carousel and I mean right in smackdown. I was a coming of age movie. Yeah, a 10 year old like I would go do, I would walk to sleepovers and my parents would tell the doer man or whoever was along the route, hey, she's going to be walking alone to the sleepover, keep an eye out for her.

Stop it. And I would just have my briefcase and I'm walking. You have a briefcase. Not a suitcase. case. I kid you not the metal clasps, close it, ready to go to my sleepover. Yep, yeah. I want to say 70 second. I would walk from 68 to, it was a great place to develop independence.

For sure. I mean, that's what you hear that kids you grew up in New York, they just grow up faster. Yeah, and I loved talking to adults. I mean, I was probably that hammy kid where they're like, give it a rest. We know where she's going. She has had it to LA I have an older sister She's seven years older than me

But it's never felt that way I mean even from when I was little I was her baby muse She always hung out with me Which is so rare She wanted to play with me She wanted to do my makeup She would have her

She would have her camcorder and be like Do something embarrassing You know So yeah and we're still besties So we blame her for this My sister is the reason Okay My sister's the reason I'm throwing my body around

For comedy Yeah My sister's for the reason for my bruised legs because I gotta get the laugh. Yeah, and she lives out here now too. Oh, she does? My whole family. Is she in the comedy?

We moved to the outskirts. We were in New York City. Then we moved to the outskirts of Philly. And then they lived there. My folks for like 20 years. My sister's husband's and imaginers, so they lived in Asia. So everyone was like across the globe.

And then my sister had a baby. And we all wanted to be near each other. sisters, a writer, director, performer, and so we all live within a mile of each other. That's amazing. So I have a sitcom outside of the sitcom, which is we all meet, like, weekly and have family dinners. That is really sweet.

I feel jealous. It's a little bit. Your whole family lives near you. Yeah, but you're like, they live in Sherman Oaks. No, literally. No, literally. Her entire family, her brother lives in her house. I know, but I'm getting, like, a different.

You want that family. I want, like, a normal, like, I don't know. Normal? There's always room for one more. Okay. Normal. What family's normal? I don't know.

Are there any? I think everyone's interpretation and definition of normal is so vastly different. Yeah. You know, we get along on the whole, and then we've worked through many things. I think if everyone can continue to do therapy, which is such a rarity, then you can, as adults, form a new relationship. But I think so often it's like you're stuck at the age that things were hard. So when they moved out here, it was like, all right, we all got to be on our. shit. We all got to be evolving. And

that's been happening, which is really cool. That is cool. I like it. It's kind of like Leanne. To bring it back to Leanne. Can you talk to me about it? She's a superstar. Superstar. But I got a little sad on the first episode. Oh, the first episode's sad. It's kind of heavy.

Well, it's like you have to set her up to go on her hero's journey. I know. But we hate to see her left by her longtime heartner and father of her children. Spoiler alert. I haven't seen it yet. But I think that's what the show is based on. She could also be going to a water park. Yeah.

We don't know. So it's either left by her husband, or water. Or water park. Or it's kind of an A24. It's kind of euphoria. Yes. It is, but it's such a joyous, you know, I mean, talk about the pod being a cozy, chunky knit of podcast. It feels very much the cozy chunky knit of TV.

It is. Everyone needs that. We really do. Really bad. It's a throwback to what feels like TV is supposed to be. Yeah. When you watch it, you're like, oh, I feel better. Even though the content in the beginning is a little like, you're like, no, don't do that.

But when you watch it, you're like, everything's going to be okay. Totally. You know, it gives you that, like, Roseanne. And that is, to that end, that is her personality, regardless of whether it was in a sitcom format. And it's interesting. I think over the years, there were many possible shows. that she, you know, you know how it is when you're potentially attached to something and it goes away. And I think it just lined up so perfectly.

It's so cogent with her personality, which is she walks in and she's like a sunflower of a human. Wow. Everyone gravitates towards her and she's so sweet and she's so maternal. I mean, she's always about her grandbabies. But I immediately felt this kinship. Like I didn't have to really suspend my belief to feel like I was her daughter. And it's so awesome. Her daughter does her makeup on the show.

Stop it. Cute. Tess, who's amazing. Oh my god, that's so cute. So they're really tight knit and it's it's just not a stretch to imagine her being likable, you know, and

someone you want to follow. Yeah. That's nice to hear. Because you hear a lot, you're like, oh my God, I love that person and they're like, can you imagine I say that on a pod though? I'm like you're like, it's fun. I'm really enjoying myself. You know, the whole cast is amazing.

It's Celia Weston. You've got Ryan Stiles who plays my dad. Jamie Mays comes in and out from Glee, Blake Rogers. It's great. Grandma, what's grandma's name? Celia Weston. Yes, she is. She's the best.

And we've become, I would say maybe, and Kristen, Johnston, who I love so much. And I grew up, like, I would watch 30 Rock and break down the science of the comedy. It's like, oh, okay, and she goes up there and down there. Oh, wow. Such an education. I mean, she was like 25 when she got that. I mean, you know, starting really, really young. I have a bit of a later start now in 32.

Gosh. But just, you know, I wasn't 19 when I was on a TV show, so it's a really different thing. I think it's way better. I feel much more well-adjusted. Yeah. I think I had to get some dysfunction out of my system when I moved to L.A., and boy, did I. I took a few years to just... You said 19, right?

Yeah. Well, let's hear about it. Well, I remember my roommate called me Hurricane because I would come in with all my props and costumes and wigs because I was doing comedy class and then just reek. just leave piles. At one point the water was turned off, I remember, and I didn't put the faucets on

just to check, and I didn't realize it was going to be turned back on later that day, so the faucets were still on, and like I flooded the apartment. You know, it was things like that. It was things like car getting impounded for parking tickets from just a lot of avoidance.

Right, yeah. I think everybody should have a gap year before they go to school or just kind of a gap year to learn about adulting. It's hard. Because I just don't, I didn't go to college, but I immediately started doing UCLA Extension and Second City and all the did comedy college.

But I feel like those years, I needed to be kind of a mess. That's your 20s. Yeah. Early 20s is about teens into 20s or just. Yeah. Shit show. How did you do that while being completely in the public eye at the same time? Because I was a shit show a little earlier than most.

She actually was never a shit show. That's the truth. Like, what's your interpretation of shit show? She's never actually, you've never been a shit show. You're like, one time I left my clothes on the floor. Didn't hang them in a closet. Like, have you ever not been able to find your car and you're driving it? That's a fucking bitch.

Where you're like, where did it? You've been driving your car and you can't find your car. Yeah. We're like, where did I park it? This makes me feel better. Okay, but what was your shit show? I just mean like I, you know, was out, tried all the things, party, whatever. Yes, totally.

Young. Yeah. Very young. I think shit shows also. I was too young. I have a daughter, so now I'm like, holy fuck. But she's so different than I am, which is like, thank God. She's so innocent and naive and it's beautiful.

How old is she? She's 10. And like, going to be 11 in a couple months. Wow. So polar opposite. Like at 11, I was like, all right. What's this? What am I smoking?

What am I? You know what I mean? Wow. Kind of the Drew Barrymore effect. I mean, not that extreme. I'm like, you know, but yeah, younger. If you're exposed to something younger, it's like, what do you, we're so absorbent and curious. It's like, of course, you want to try and you want to.

I think for me, that was, I moved out here and I'm like, oh, all these people have money and access to all these cool things. And then you realize like, oh, I don't want to do those things. I think also mess means not responding to text, people being like, I'm at the coffee shop in Sherman Oaks and you're like, I'm an hour away. I'm on the beach, you know. It's just sort of. chaos in general. That sounds like mom brain to me. Sure, but when mom brain sustained for three years, and they're like, why aren't you at the audition? And I'm like, I'm in Pennsylvania. You know, now I know, I think getting the show and knowing that I can show up to commitments,

I can get rest, I know how to take care of myself. Right, right. I know how to drink water. Still working on doing that daily. I do it. I saw a meme on Instagram, which is so true. They're like, we, you know how water bottles, I mean, we have kids. So like water bottles, like, you don't leave the house without like a big thing of water for your kid and they bring it around and whatever. We never brought water. No. Like when you were like to school or out. No. Do you have water? We did bring water to school. No, I could pre-brose. We brought water to school. Lunchables and capriced suns. Yeah. Yeah. Because I remember we would

freeze it. The balanced diet. Yeah, exactly. We would like freeze it because it'd be so hot. Oh like an ice water. Don't you remember that? We wouldn't actually bring water. We didn't have it, but we didn't have it. We didn't have anything our kids have. Well, I know that. I watched this meme. It was so good. This guy was like, this is me impersonating my children when they're older and their trauma. And they're like, it's just so hard, like having every need met. And like my dad would show up at every game saying like, you're the best. Like, I know I'm the best. My dad did such a back in my day to me. I'm like, I have to get a crown on my tooth, which is a whole to do. Yeah. But I had to get the crown. And it was a several tier process that spanned over a month.

And my dad, he's Dutch and grew up on a farm. He's like, well, when I got my teeth filled, I biked 10 kilometers in the snow. They yanked the tooth out. No anesthetic. And I biked home with blood down my shirt. Okay. I'll get the crown and I won't complain. So.

It is so different. So different. And I, you know, I grew up in New York with a really, we didn't have a ton of money, but it didn't matter. I had a really magical upbringing. Amazing. And then Philly, how old were you when you guys moved to Philly? I was in fourth grade, I want to say. But I started acting kind of accidentally.

I auditioned at Mike Lemon casting. Shout out. No affiliation anymore. But my first audition in sixth grade, I ended up getting this movie called The Woodsman for Kevin Bacon. Wow. And then I was going in and out either on a Greyhound bus or a Mega Bus or my mom would drive me. four times a week and you know Chelsea Pierce all the

all the trying to learn the sides in the car how do you feel about that because my son wants to act and he's a kid well I don't know he's a kid how's your son he's nine okay close close the name yeah oh yeah um is that nice do they hang out they do when they're like cousins

it's a boy girl so like they're like cousins you know yeah and eventually it'll be as as they get older it'll like morph and change yeah it has a whole yeah but they're their whole lives Are they like getting self-conscious yet about things? Of course. Yeah.

I mean, like it's kind of supposed to run 11. Like what? Or like just like a wear. Like embarrassed? Did they get embarrassed by you? Like I can't change in front of my son anymore. Sure. He's like, mom.

If I'm like, even if I'm in a bra and I changed my shirt, he's like, mom. Yeah. I'm like, oh. Yeah. To your point earlier, I think because after that I didn't, it was a real whirlwind. It was like, I think. I got unrealistic expectations because I did the movie

and it went to Sundance I got an independent spirit award nomination at 11. Holy shit. It's for best debut performance. The guy from Motorcycle Diaries won which is bullshit still. We don't even

I was robbed. And I sobbed in the bathroom and I was like I didn't want Best debut performance. My mom's like, you met Johnny Foster.

It's okay. It's your lifelong dream. But we took a break. I took a break. it became too much for me around when I was 13, I think, 13 or 14. And I still took acting classes, but it being told no, and I was 5'10 suddenly at 11 or 12. And it just, that was a deterrent and people casting me. And I get really close and you wouldn't get it. No, it's an awful feeling. I don't think I had the nervous system for it. I'm a pretty anxious person to begin with. And honestly,

I think that was the root cause of a lot of things I'm still working through, which is just the comedy. Yeah, that's why I do comedy. Disfunction. Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know the answer. I think it probably really depends on the person. But my mom and I had no guidebook.

Suddenly, after one audition, she's thrust into the... That's nuts. We don't have a ton of money and we're driving two and a half hours through the Lincoln Tunnel, tons of gas back and forth for, you know, a couple years. That's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. So I kind of paused.

then until I moved out here again, like professionally. I think that's good. I mean, just looking back and thinking about it, you know? Yeah. Because if you start as a kid and all that, and if you, it's just. Well, especially if it's not going your way, I think it was. You don't have the tools and like the understanding to really process it. And you have an agent that's like, so it's really not going your way and you're 11.

And you're like, why isn't it going my way? Right. What could I do? How could I, you know, the thing I got the closest to at the time. And I did some things like hacks and lawn or things like that. I played a lot of like victims of abuse. You know, the Kevin Bacon's movie was about being a pedophile. So I had a type, you know, which was like troubled kids.

Yeah. But there was this play that Joanne Woodward was directing a member of the wedding. And I remember really preparing for that. And I was so disappointed. It was between me and a 30-year-old to play a 12-year-old. And I think for union reasons, they were like, we're going to go with the 30-year-old. But the devastation of that, I didn't know how to bounce back quickly. I couldn't understand.

They had said I almost got it. I know. So I think I needed a step away to have perspective. Well, what's wrong with me or what are you? If I had just done. And they used to tell me what was wrong with me. Oh, no. Oh, yeah.

They'd be like, well, you have to fix your skin. You have to fix your eye. You have to stay out of the sun. Your skin's too dark. Oh, God. I mean, yeah, I had to wear, yeah, because I have tan skin. They'd be like you don't look white. They get horrible, awful dysmorphic cheese.

Yeah. That happened when I was eight. I moved out here and I got cosmetic just to my front two teeth. Me too, because they made me. They were like, you have to fix your teeth. The smoking manager that's like, you know what you need to do? Yeah. Lose 10 pounds.

Yeah, exactly. But they're wafel. It just sounds like a cell from friends. Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's crazy. and hard. I don't think

people should be able to tell children those things. Right. Right? You shouldn't be able to tell anyone those things. Yeah, an adult either. True. And it's all false. Like all the things, like looking back as an adult, I'm like, God, people are

so wrong. Yeah. Like, you look at someone like Kevin Bacon. Right. And you're like, why is Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon? Because he's fucking Kevin Bacon. Yes. You know what I'm saying? He's not a curated version of some human that is like fitting into a mold. It's like he just was Kevin Bacon all day every day.

Right. But you just never know who got in the ears of like it's like after dirty dancing. It's like people changing their appearance because you might have had a toxic rep in your ears saying I think this is going to make it really hard for you. What happened in dirty dancing? Well, she changed her nose after that. She did change her nose. And she's stunning.

And I feel like it's. She was more unrecognizable, I think, after that. We were obsessed with her. Obsessed. I also this morning saw someone be like, I kind of understand where the dad was coming from and dirty dancing. She's a 17-year-old girl. It hits different.

And they're in a sweaty room. It's different. And with an instructor with like a record or whatever it was who looks 40. They're like, I would absolutely put her in a fucking corner. That is so hot 40. And we also think. He got his girlfriend pregnant. He took responsibility.

I mean, what? He thought, he took responsibility. He kind of owned it like. He didn't own it like he slept with her. He was just taking responsibility to take care of her. No, but the way he came in and was like,

he kind of postured up. Like I got to the dad. Yeah, he didn't throw Robbie under the bus. Right. So he thought. Oh, he thought that he got her pregnant. And my child 17. Right.

Yeah. God forbid I'm like, maybe hold off. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and also you're like, enjoy camp, you know? Camp. I remember watching that and being like, we didn't do that at my camp. Whoa.

We weren't grinding. We used to grind on our like couch cushions, like, pretending to dirty dance. I thought we're talking about finding ourselves. Oh, no. No, I mean, yeah, to do that. I meant me and Rachel. 10 and 11, you say it's coming.

Yeah. Exactly. They're all going to do it. I did watch that movie, though, at, like, nine. And there's no chance my daughter's watching that for the next five or ten years. It's raunchy. It's hot. I mean, it's a sexy movie.

It is. But fully. I mean, I was saying, like, I put the tights on and I would put little underwear over them and tie up my shirt. And then I would make my, no. It would make my boyfriend go down on me. Obviously. Sorry. It's okay.

I started it. You did. You did. I really thought we were bonding and then I was like, no, course correct, no, we're back. No, we're back. No, we're back. Oh, my God. Yeah, so as I was saying, my brother.

Oh, I'll cut this whole thing. Okay. Brother. Oh, my God. But I would make him practice the lift, like to do. Yeah, and you would purposely drop me. Oh. I mean, I'm not traumatized.

It's fine. I just can't remember anything. I just have a concussion. We just wanted time to unpack it. Yeah. I did that with spice girls. I would. I would take a skirt.

Which one were you? Weirdly posh, which is so the opposite. Why is that weird? I just don't feel like that's my personality at all. I love fashion. You're giving posh. Okay. That's because my arms are at my sides and you're not seeing my sweatiness.

I wasn't sporty, though. What am I? Who are you? My best friend would be sporty. And I think, you know what it was? It was our range. I could kind of like Posh was kind of the low

and Sporty's like And I couldn't do that Yeah So you went with your range And I didn't feel baby Yeah You weren't giving baby Yeah

You weren't giving ginger And I wasn't giving And I want to unpack that Scary spice Like why scary I mean I think that there's absolute like racism laced into all that

crazy stuff back then But I think also Labeling Without ever There being a clear descriptor of what scary means. I don't know.

It just felt strange to be. You know, I've never thought about it, but now... No, I haven't. So I don't mean to project that. But it does feel like you have one person of color in a girl group. You don't think they picked their own names? Oh, my God.

I mean, maybe, but that would shock me. Maybe they didn't. I think to have any autonomy in the music landscape back then, especially if you're a girl group. Yeah. There's like those reality shows on TV right now that are all these nine to 16-year-olds auditioning to be like the next cake pop group and they're basically like all right girls a lot of

you are bringing too much of yourselves and remember you're ours hours you're ours yeah it's very much you know eradicate this idea that you're not a group that we've manufactured so I wonder they're not letting them be the Kevin Bacon of their own story no one is Kevin Bacon of their own story no sucky no and yeah I love I love K-pop too though Totally. Well, you're the demon. I am the K-pop demon hunter. I haven't watched it yet.

I feel like my daughter's the only one that hasn't seen it. Why haven't you? Oh, K-pop Demon Hunter? Yeah. I don't know what that is. It's like the biggest movie on Netflix. Is it animated? Yes.

And that's, I have a hard time of animated. I don't know why. Well, probably because you don't have kids. You're not like sitting there watching animated. I'm going to put on K-pop Dement. Why would you watch that movie? I watched that movie with my nephew. Louis is the best.

And Paddington. I love. How old is he? Tattoo, marmalade jar. What? You love Paddington. People keep asking if that's just a floating old woman in a jar. What?

Let me see. I wish it was like boxing Helena. It's a jar and that's an orange which I'm going to fill in and that's Paddington. And I, yeah. Where does that come from? Paddington. When my husband and I were going through a really hard moment in the first year of being together, it was like a really hard few days health-wise and we watched all the padding things.

We watched all the Paddingtons and it was just the comfort of that. And I think it really, we just like really bonded together when we kind of could have gone in the opposite direction. It's kind of a real make or break moment. Oh, that's really sweet. Wow. It's just like tethered to comfort and sticking together. Huntington did it.

How'd you guys meet? We met in Groundlings class. Oh. And it's so funny because you're writing sketches with people in anticipation of the class. So you meet for a couple hours at a cafe. But as soon as we met, it was electric. And so when we would plan future writing meetings, we'd be like, would you want to meet at Huntington Gardens?

We could work in the cafe, walk around, and then maybe do the movie nearby. And then we could like write it. So fully planning days, you know? I've never experienced that where you sit across from someone. And it's just this instant, not just draw, but oh my God, I feel like I've known this person. for a long time and we laughed so hard as soon as we met and that's for me like one of the three

pillars right of what I need yeah in a relationship yeah because I'm like shit's gonna go down there's so much hard stuff so we can't laugh and they need to make me laugh too they're so funny it's hard being the funny one it's hard being the funny one someone make me laugh but yeah is he funny so funny. Does he work in comedy? Yes. Less so does film criticism and... Wait, what?

What's his... He writes for deadline, backstage, slant. But also, I'm directing their solo show right now. So their solo show has comedy, but it's very much like a labyrinth of the mind. They're the academic. Greg has like three master's degrees

and I didn't go to college. But that means I had one by proxy. Right. I'm going to claim that. But yeah, really talented and this is the first time that we've that they've performed in like seven years and it's crazy for someone to drop back in and just be brilliant again but i we love working together on stuff that's really that's so cool yeah that's really fun to be a film critic like just yeah

yes have to watch everything yeah and but gregg loves movies to i would say a sickening degree I'll walk in and Greg's watching a six-hour movie that's called Slow Cinema and I'm like, babe, you're on your own. Let's put on some Paddington. I love movies, but within reason. Within two hours. Yes. I mean, Greg just can consume and consume.

When we went to Italy, we went to the Fellini Museum and I think I saw him cry. Pallini's his favorite, eight and a half's his favorite movie. Oh, wow. That's really sweet. I mean, that sounds like a cool job. it is the only time we've come up against one another is I'm like, how did you not like that? You know? And like, really, do you have to critique it?

I think when we look wicked. And it's like one of the biggest arguments we've ever gotten into. I'm sobbing at the end and Greg's not sobbing enough, I guess, for my liking. And I keep looking over like, really? Really, that last number didn't rivet you and bring you to your knees? and Greg's like, I really liked it. I really liked it. And that's the worst.

Okay, you really, you really liked it? You really liked it? Fuck you. We really got into it. They didn't write a review on it, but it was that. I feel like they're so critical that. Yeah, right. But the fact, I thought you were going to say he didn't like it.

And that would be you're like, no, he liked it a lot. No, he gave it three out of five stars. Oh, that's four. It's four. It's a solid four point five. It's four and a half. I get like that if my husband doesn't like the chicken parmesan.

Like I get angry. No, that's real. When he's like, it's fine. It's good. You're like, no, this is the best thing I've ever eaten. Is that a universal thing to feel really protective over a thing that's like beloved to you? Like I remember showing him serendipity for the first time, which is my favorite

rom-com. That's now become his favorite rom-com. We, at our wedding, we played a bunch of the soundtrack. Northern Sky is what I walked down the stairs. And we did the a Redwoodsey wedding. But when we, me and my sister first showed it to him when he came home for Christmas

for the first time, he and my dad were kind of laughing about some parts. My sister storms upstairs and is like, I just, Sarah Dibby is a big part of our lives. And I went up and like, I promise, well, he'll come around. He'll come around. He's like, I like it. I'm just trying to bond with your dad.

But that, I felt really protective over something that's like so dear to me. Of course. 100% You have to love it Right Who doesn't love serendipity

That's what And now Greg does But truly who doesn't love Serendipity? I don't know Molly Shannon is the best friend Kate Beck and Stile John Cusack Cusack

Cusack It's the best I love it so much Yeah So and New York City At Christmas time I mean you can't It's so good

But see I have the problem Where I always want Those movies to like happen In real life You know Of course Well I guess that's pretty common You want to find a $5

bill with the phone number of you're a strange living your life. And then it's going to happen and then I'm going to find the book and I'm going to write the thing and it's all going to work out. Sure. How many times do you think people have been in traffic trying to get to the airport to chase down the person that's moving to Milwaukee for a job? I've never done it. Have you? Has that ever happened to you? I haven't been in traffic waiting.

Not only you. Do you know anyone that has? Not a person. Listen, I've gotten out like a mile out in the line at LAX to get to my flight hauling ass because I I left myself 40 minutes to get to an international terminal. But you didn't trip and fall and find the love of your life? I was just trying to get on vacation. Yeah.

It's bullshit. But yeah. I want to vacate. I hate to tell you most of it's bullshit. You know, but I refuse to, like you, I believe that these things happen. Sure. I think they do. I think they do.

There's stories. There's stories. Like next week, let's get someone on the pod. A real life wrong. Okay. Anyone listening, please. If you have wrong. Com stories that belong in a rom-com, we need all of them.

Yes. Yes. Please write in. Shirley, they exist. Yes. And the girl's name is probably Shirley, too. Kevin's phone number is. Yeah.

If you could create your own rom-com, what would it be? Like, do you go work at a bookstore and like, you know what I mean? Like, I always like, when I'm in a little town, it's like, she works at a bookstore because she's trying to get her life back on track. I love that. I got to be run books to get my life back. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's definitely like a little town with books.

It's very like Sandra Bullock. Sure. You know? All right. I think mine would be more Wooded Glenn, maybe fairies falling in love. I'd want a little fantasy. You know, everyone's kind of getting into the fantasy. Yeah, I was asked.

What's the hallmark pixie gnome variant of rom-com? Okay. Where are the gnome love stories? Where are the gnomio and julia? If you are a gnome love story, pitch it to the pun. I love that I've now. Yeah. Wait, are you into that fairy stuff?

I'm Dutch, so I think just... All those books like the crown or whatever. I haven't read the smut because I think it's so pure in my head. You don't have fun of it. I'm really frozen at the age of 11 in Holland looking for gnomes in the forest. But that's very much Dutch culture. Did you spend a lot of time in Holland? Every summer is a kid.

I spent a, because my dad's, yeah, goes back to Holland a lot has seven siblings there. So I have like a million cousins and aunts and uncles. And, yes, spent a lot of time there growing up. I love it so cool. So much. People are happy there. People are, well, Greg and I always say we don't own anywhere yet, but there's a town called Harlem in Holland. We were walking around.

Everyone's got a garden. Everyone's sitting outside of their garden. There's a neighborhood cat walking by. They're saying hi to each other When they have a drink Everyone's doing a cheers Like around a block It

Romcom That's what I was gonna say That is a real How is this real? And so we And then we looked up real estate prices It's insane how much cheaper it is Than here

Right If I didn't have to work here And all the people I loved Weren't here And I didn't mostly love California I wouldn't live here You just looks like 20 things You're like if everything in the world

Was different Yes I would be into it Real estate is so hard. But I love LurCal. I love California. It's just justifying the prices that's hard. It's very hard.

And I'm sure having kids out here too is like expensive. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, life is expensive out here. Yeah. I sent our realtor at this video is so people are funny. Okay. It's a guy from 60 minutes and it's a meme and it just says,

this is my real litter showing me properties in my price range. and it's the guy from 60 minutes and he just opens a flap on the floor and it's a hole that you can go in and he goes, look it, if you just open this flap and you go right in, there's a light, you can shut it.

And it's like, that's L.A. real estate. No, full. Well, that's New York real estate. True. True. When we moved there for, because I grew up there and I thought maybe I'll move back here.

It was, it didn't, I never thought I'd stay here because that was all my roots were there. But then we went, back after we'd lived here for a few years and lived in a railroad style shoe. And I'm wearing my wigs trying to come up with my comedy. Greg's writing. It was a circus. And that's how people get divorced. We left, I think, because we needed the space. And everything felt so much harder. Doing your laundry. All of it. It was a five-flight walk-up. You know, when you have, I don't know

how my parents raised two kids with strollers in New York. I don't know how they do it. And they said it was magical and they wouldn't have traded it for the world. I do think prices were different then. Yeah. But and they were both in real estate. They were at the Corcoran group, which is funny. Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank. But, but yeah, that, that would be really hard to justify those prices there especially. Oh yeah. For what you got. Yeah. I still want to hear your Rachel. What? Yes. Your rom-com. Oh, I don't know. Where would you put it? Where would it be place? Yeah. Put it in my vagina. That would be funny. That would be, yes. It's clear. It's clear. in there. That's right.

This is the adult version of inside out. But what's going on anatomically? You know? Oh, the adult version of inside out. I like it. Sure. I'm sure there's a porn out there. Sure. Oh, yeah. Right. Which, yeah. We don't. That's a little disturbing. All the feelings inside.

I mean, there's a furries kink, which feels like that's connected to some childhood something. A hundred percent. Yeah. That was the first, that was the first, that was the first, uh, porn. Wow. I was so afraid to say the word Was it fuzzy? That's the first thing I looked up as a kid. Not on purpose, I think furries. I was looking at. Was you say fuzzies?

And then it was like a half man, half goat. I don't want that. Doing unthinkables to someone. Maybe that's where the gnome stuff started. Yeah, I don't want to see that. I really don't. You don't want to see that? No.

I don't want to see that. But I love that there's something for everybody. Yeah, it's great. And everyone's sure. You want a furry? Sure. Sure. Feet are very common that we have come to learn.

It's a thing. Everybody, a lot of people have them. Everyone has. Crazy. I think some people have nerve endings in their feet that make it, quite literally make it feel different. Oh, make them horny. And they probably just have really different fair moments in that way.

I like that you just went science with it. Like you were just like, this is the definition. And we can rope that back into your inside out. We could go outside and talk about other body parts. Did I do a podcast with my shoes off? Is that why people started? rave. No, no, no, I'm just saying someone thanked me recently. No, people really want her. But they thanked. They wrote in and they were like, thank you.

What's wrong with your feet? I mean. Gorgeous feet. All the toes are painted. And mine are covered up for a reason. No, mine are normally cut. I have a sausage toe. Can we talk about it? Which one? Oh, I bet that's a thing for someone. Ew. No, it's not. It's actually what a doctor told me. So for a year and a half, this toe has been swollen. That was the term. That was the term. I went to so many doctors, blood tests, whatever. I'm like, what the fuck is it? A year and a half, it's been swollen. Wow.

The second toe on this foot, see? Do you see it? Anyway, it's a little swollen. So that's what she called it. And so now I just like walking around and telling people I have that. But it's just a swollen toe. But I think it was from an ugg I wore. That's my story. I would say, unfortunately, your swollen sausage toe looks like my regular toes.

We don't all have gorgeous feet. But there's also a market for that. I bet people ask for feet picks. Yeah. And then I'm like, do you want me to paint my nails? Back in the day, I was just curious. No. Keep them chipped.

Raw dog. Sure. Keep your runner's feet calloused and all. Love it. Yeah. Give me a corn. Yeah. Give me a bunion.

They want it. Give me a corn. You know what? Give me some ballerina feet. Bloodied, scabbed. Yeah. Give me your worst. They love it.

Yeah. There's some weird fetishes, though, out there. Also, right in, if you have a weird fetish. No. Please don't. That you want to be in the rump. Please don't. Yeah.

We're working on a real. We're working on a fetish rom-com. Fetish rom-com. And weirdly, this is IP somewhere. That's kind of good. That would be a good. A fetish rom-com. Like someone that's like, I don't know what it is, but I'm just like really obsessed with left-ears and they go to like a left-year convention.

And it's like, you know. The left-ear convention. And then the left-ear people of the world are like, finally! But then some right-ear guy walks in and she's like, I don't know. Maybe I could broaden my head. Yeah, exactly. But then she doesn't for all of actual. to and then in the end, she's getting on the left ear, right ear flight, of course.

To the right ear convention in Galapagos. She puts on her thongs and she flop, flops over and says, I can do right ears. I can do it. I can do right ears. And he's like, I'm actually ambit eustress. Oh. And he's left ear and right ear. Ambit ear stress.

See, my nipples. It all. Wow. Okay, doing it for you. Think it's just the chill. It's an air conditioner. I really was like, I have to start wearing bras. I'm very anti-brass.

Are you? It's because you're young. Small boobs, so it like really doesn't matter. I physically can't handle the feeling of having them. I'll be distracted the whole time. I feel so, even anything on me, like my wedding ring. They're annoying. You have bracelets on. That's interesting.

I'm like, I can't wear my wedding ring. Yes. And earrings. But you know. The wedding ring. And a button-up shirt. Well, I have to wear a top, but a bra, that's really... And the wedding ring. That's so far down. Now everyone's just going to be looking at your boots.

Does she have a bra? That's so funny that you said, but you have a bracelet and earring. And earring. And a belly chain. I'm bringing them back. Oh, my God. Did you guys ever have your belly button spires? Of course.

Yeah. Obviously. No question. Can't you see it? Was that, remember when NTV was like sprang break? Yes, of course. Spring break. Yeah.

I think we both have scars on our belly buttons. Yeah. My mom took me when I was like 13 to get my belly button. My mom's very like express, you know, like whatever. And it was always infected. They didn't do a very good job. Me too. It grew out of my summit.

That must be. My sister's got infected too, but she got it done at Cowboys Tattoo Ranch. Well, so I think we both. We could have predicted how that would be a ranch. I think your stomach rejects it. Yeah, ours like mine started growing out I remember the way I convinced my mom I was like you got to be a hippie

Like you got to do something that was attached To your generation what do I have She was like fine I think I'm trying to draw the parallel There wasn't one It was just like you were at Woodstock Yeah exactly Let me pierce my belly button and be a part of something

I get that I pierced my nose And that felt for me it felt like an active of I have autonomy. I'm reclaiming my face. But I did it like four times until there was so much, because I kept taking it out. Oh, yeah. That's, I did that.

My mom said, you're not allowed to get it a fifth time because you have so much scar tissue. Same thing as my invisible line. I kept, because I would, you had to take it out to eat. Right. And I'm a snacker. So I would take the inviseline out

in front of all my friends at lunch, have my, you know, uncrustables, throw it away on my lunch. Trey. I did that like four or five times. My mom's like, we can't do this anymore. So now my teeth, I've never fixed them to this day. I like your, but I like your teeth. Really? Yeah. I aren't. I like your teeth. I'm just a girl. Are you a, are you a cruncher? I have a new tick, a new grind that I do awake that I need to look into because it's sort of eroding at one of my teeth. I don't know what it's connected to. Typically it's. I have a new grind. Let's see it. Not an old grind. It's like this. Like I'm doing it right now.

It feels so good. Does it? Do you have a thing? No, I'm a cruncher. Like I have to crunch on food all day. I have to crunch. She's an eater. I love if you're like even during the pot, I have to eat celery sticks.

Crunch, crunch, crunch. She's a cruncher. No, because you said you would snack and you're an eater. So I was like, oh, do you like to crunch on things? My eating habits are like their own thing. sleep eat every single night. Do you? You know what's crazy? I've said this on every podcast in the history of podcasts I've been on. I'm like, shout out to my sleep eating. I have a night cheese every, but last night, and I realized it the next day. This morning I was making coffee and I saw the gear deli and I'm like,

oh, I ate chocolate chips and drink orange juice last night. And then while you were sleeping. But you don't remember. Like memento style. I'm like Lazo Raven. I'm like, Zoo. Yeah. I ate chocolate chips last night. Or there'll be like a breadcrum trail. Oh, I had crackers last night. Is your husband never awake? He's doing this and then... He's seen me sleep talk and do crazy things. Yeah.

Like, talk about sketch comedy fully upright. Like, I'm on a talk show with my legs crossed. Oh, sick. Sick. But the eating, I think we've been together for seven years. So I think he's really drowned it out at this point. And I sneak. We do have a really loud pocket door that we have to like lug open every night.

So I think we've both kind of gotten used to that. this white noise. I don't think I do it every single night, but I would say probably five times a week. But you don't remember. Like, you don't know you're doing it. It comes back to you. It's lucid. Yeah, in the night, it feels like it's part of my dream. And then the next day, I love this. There's an object or a feeling. Again, raven back into me. And I'm like, oh yeah, I ate a cube of brie or. That's kind of like how I used to do when I would black out drink. Same, same.

Same. Same. Same. Same. Same. Same. Yeah, but no, I'd wake up and be like, oh, fuck, I totally came in here and made a cassidia.

Yes. And it's like you don't remember, but then you do remember little pieces of it. Sure. Yeah. I have the lucid sleep talky, weird walkie thing, like where I'll wake up running, you know. You sleepwalk? Yeah. Sleep run.

Yeah. I'll sleep run. I'll just dart out of the room. Just, who. You do it. asleep 100 meter dash. Yes. I used to go into my roommate's room and like run in there and sit down and they'd be like what and I'd be like there's a guy in my room that won't stop changing the channels and they're like. And I've had it up to you. Right. And they're like, we're going to walk you back.

I love that you ran from that. I thought it was like you're in crisis. You're like, this guy keeps putting Spike TV on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My roommate would be like, well, I'll go check. You know, and they're like, okay. But eyes open. awake, but you're asleep. Yeah, yeah. So it's the same thing. Yeah. I just don't eat. You would like run like the weapons kids. I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it poster and I hear that they run in a weird way towards a cornfield. It's like kids that disappear or something. Is that right? Amy Madigan. I know. I know. But is it kids who disappear? I don't know. I thought so. I thought the kids like all run away. No one knows because they're gone. They should use that as promo.

Yeah. It's hard to watch things. with kids. I can't. I hate it. I thought about doing a sleep study and then, because a lot of people were like, you should look into your sleep eating. And then another friend was like, sounds like you're just having a good time. You're like I'm going with that. I'm choosing that. Because I'm not, it's not like I'm sitting down and having a three-course meal. One time I used the stove. And then it's like, oh, you did. What'd you make? Eggs. Egg. That's a slip in an egg. No, you didn't. Yes. You made eggs. Okay. Here's the craziest thing. when I'm at sleepovers I'm usually

Like now? That's what this is right? She still has her briefcase Gals I can't wait to unpack my briefcase I brought I masks And a DVD Of a Kevin Bacon movie That actually sounds like a good

Right Remember Blockbuster? Oh God So fun What was I You were flicking eggs And you were like this is crazy That's when it was

That's when I wondered should I look into this, but it never happened after that. It never happened after that. I've eaten stuff at friends' houses in my sleep, but I'm always respectful. I'll put it, truly I'll put it in the recycling bin. I mean, friends will find empty cans of things. Like what? I need to cure a whole, yeah, the details are so much more important to us than you waking up and eating. Well, I usually eat garbanzo beans.

No, you don't. That's one of my favorite foods. And you're wondering, well, how do you prepare it? loose with salt and I don't drain it so it's just a soupy what's my favorite food soupy garbanzo beans

no loose carbonso beans that's the name of our that's the name of our romca loose garbanzo beans a tale of love destiny and finding yourself in Galapagos oh man we

yeah you crack open a can. Crack open a can of carbons, which you know, that does require. You find a can opener in people's homes.

Yeah. Do you, now do you finger it? We need a paranormal activity of me like rummaging through drawers, cabinets. Can opener.

I've done that at two friends' houses. Do you take it out with your hands or do you get a spoon? I think I'm, I think I'm going through all the proper normal channels.

I think I'm scooping them out. You know what it is. I think I'm just dumping them. Oh, you dump them in a bowl. And then you sprinkle the salt. Sprinkle a little bit of salt. sometimes some olive oil. And you eat them with a spoon.

And then eat them with a spoon with the broth and everything. It's not broth. It's like oil. It's bean water. It's like bean water oil. It's not broth. I don't know. It was a lot to me.

I love that bean water. You're like it's bean broth. I know. I'm making this sound so much more Michelin than it is. You're like, that's bean water and your loose beans. Yeah. I love a garbonzo. bean. I love a beam.

Okay. Something about me. I love a bean. I can't. This is like bringing me so much. Kidney. Flat. Pinto. Pinto. Fried. Crasso. Just open it and pour it in a bowl. With the juice.

Yeah. Now it's juice. We went from broth to water to juice. Bean juice. It's not like a bisque. It's not thick. It's kind of thick. There's no viscosity to it. It's pretty translucent. I will say I add my own bean juice when I make a certain soup, I keep it.

Okay. Like, I don't drain the beans. So I respect it. What do you mean you make your own bean juice? Sorry? What does that mean you make your own bean juice? When I'm making a soup and I use beans, I add the bean juice too. I don't drain the beans and then add them.

Even though they always say you should rinse and drain. I don't do that. I rinse and drain. I rinse and drain, guys. It's like a bonzo bean become hummus. In a blender. All right. I'll drink to that.

Wait, I'm good. You thought it was just having your mouth from chewing? My throat just made a goblet sound. That's all that garbonzo juice. Hold on. It's the garbanzar. So if presented with hummus or a can of garbanzo bean. No question.

Can of loose garbanzo bean. No question. Hummus? All right. Oh, oh, am I intermittent fasting from the big race? Hummus feels healthy, garbonzo, and a whole can. Hummus, nothing else. Not a cracker.

Mm-mm. Oh. Spoon, loose beans, water, can. Well, bowl. I'm not going to eat it. I'm not an animal. I'm not going to eat the beans from the can. Okay.

How many do you currently have in your pancreat? How many? Like six cans? How many days a week do you eat them? It's been a minute. Last night I ate garbanzo beans awake. Oh. Oh, you usually only eat them.

Trader Joe's has a pretty good garbanzo beans that actually has a yummy sauce around it. You guys would consider it a sauce. Okay, would we? There's seasoning. There's actually multiple spices, cumin. That one's yummy. It's a little can. I want to follow you around.

I want to do a documentary. I want a camera. And I just, I want to be quiet and just like watch. Well, I love like Microw Viglius sleepwalk with me is about going out a window. Mine's about eating too much fiber. Protein, good protein, too. People say that's too much fiber in a day. Is a can of garbonzo beans?

Is there such a thing? That's what I'm saying. Well, I'm not going to change. No. Not now. No. Maybe if my, like, cholesterol was too high, I'd, like, have less eggs, but. What else?

The garbonzo beans. What else? Like, what else do you sleep eat? Kind of whatever's in the fridge. For a while, it was mochi ice cream from Trader Joe's. Which flavor? The green tea. The best.

So good. And some of the others I find strange. The chocolate one. No, no, no, no. Don't cross that over. The green tea and it's just that, that texture is so yummy. But something, I'm, again, it's like a bite-sized something. A string cheese, I'll cut a little slice of brie off.

Okay. And then you usually wash it down with a liquid of some kind. Now, last night, that was a questionable choice to put Jiradelli. chocolate chips with orange juice. I was thinking that was disappointing. You know, oh my God, I'm just remembering. I had Girideli chocolate chips.

Then I had orange juice. Then I started walking back. And then I was not satisfied. So I went back and had some oat milk. And then I went back to bed. And truly just now, remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Had totally forgotten about the oat milk. Have you ever shocked yourself? Like, is it ever a different person where you're like, I don't even fuck with? dry toaster. Okay. And whatever's in our fridge is something that I will make. I mean, I'm also, I'm a comedian who used to eat a lot of ramen noodles. I still do. I'm not, Greg's the really, what's it called? Foodie? Not domestic. Greg, yes. Greg cleans more than I do. Greg does laundry more than I do. And Greg cooks way more than I do. So a lot of the things I'm cooking, I'm not. They're just ready made.

So that kind of aligns with what I'm doing in my sleep. I'm not making a beef Wellington in my sleep. Okay. I wouldn't know where to start. That would be amazing. I don't even know if I had a beef Wellington. Okay, I want to watch that movie. Someone that can't cook awake but is right.

It's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's like some past life shit. And then it's witches as well. The original. I mean, I love the new one, but the original gave me nightmares. There's a new one with Anne Hathaway as. No, no.

You can't fuck with the original. Angelica Houston? I mean, no. Yes. There's a new one. I didn't even know that either. There's a new one. It's so dark and so scary.

And I watched the shit out of that as a child. I love that movie. And even the book I remember being really spooky. I love Roaldol. No, Matilda. We saw Matilda twice. The summer, my daughter and I, the musical of the play. And it's so dark and scary, but also amazing.

Yeah. Love it. Matilda. My friend is the. the tough, I don't remember the character's name, she's like the tough blonde that rescues Matilda from the Chokey. And then one other fun fact. That wants to be her best friend?

Lavender? No. Is Lavender with the pigtails? I don't know because I'm only talking about the play. I didn't see the movie. Oh, you saw, I saw a musical at the West End. That was really interesting to watch how people. Quit in London.

Yes. Me too. Oh, you did? Well, just recently. That's what she just did. Tuesday, March 4th, 2020. won. But and Miss and

your birthday's October 11th. You've never met your mom. Holly, we're like twins. Yeah, but watching people, it was so good. So in Trenchville,

like a man plays Trenchwell, which is fucking genius. Yes, yes. I was obsessed. The kids were amazing. The kids were amazing. Best dancers I've ever seen. I jumped to my feet after,

but that's less common there. I was the only one standing. I was the only one standing. No one was standing. Golf clapping. Thank you. I was like, what the hell is happening? And if I was up there, I'd be pissed. Get up.

Get up. Yeah. And then everyone got out eventually. I was doing high kicks for two hours and I'm nine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Seriously. I know. So good. Yeah. Oh, I feel very. This is great. Yeah. Oh. And just like that. And just like that. God, we haven't even got into what you eat in waking life. I mean, geez. That was going to be the whole second half. Yeah. You're coming back. Similar to what I'm eating asleep. We're following you. Oh my God, this was too much fun. So fun. Okay, stick around for part two at some point.

Yes, please. See you here. You have a big announcement? Yeah. So I have a baby, as you guys know. Been thinking a lot about food and just eating in general. And I've decided that... You're going to eat me.

I'm officially not vegan anymore. Oh my. God, I like this for you. Yeah. I really love this. I had buffalo chicken pizza. Oh. You went hard.

I know. I've been, but I've been. How's your stomach with that? It's good because I've been dipping my toe in. I'll have like, like, in the buffalo. Back to the toes. No, I've been, um, doing like small, like small amounts. Yeah.

And I think that's been helping. So I haven't really had any stomach issues. and I think it's because of doing like small amounts. Meat and dairy? Yep. All of it. I'm fully back in. So wait, we got you an almond latte.

Do you want a regular one? No, I still am going to have almond lattes. And I think I'm still going to mostly do vegan stuff. But I had a pretty, I would say, stunted, I don't want to say diet, but I just didn't have a variety of food growing up. I had mostly the same things, which was fine. but as an adult, I now realize like, oh, I wish I had X, Y, and Z, and I want Desmond to have a bigger palate than what I had growing up. And I was like, that's just going to be so hard when 99% of the food in our house is vegan. Wow.

So. Well, it's also not, not, I'm not anti-vegan. Yeah. Whatever. But, like, we just went to a doctor for Elliott. My son has this thing, EOE, and so he can't eat gluten or dairy. Yeah, yeah. And she was like, I would rather see him on medicine and have him eating those things.

Yeah. Because in order to gain weight, like, you're really limited if you don't have dairy meat. So he could eat those things if he took the medicine. Mm-hmm. Interesting. Yeah. So, but to gain weight and all of that stuff, it does broaden your diet. Absolutely.

You're going to gain weight. No, I'm just kidding. I'm taking for your baby. No, I've actually, I'm very curious about what happens with my weight because I have gained a lot of weight in the last couple years. I think part of it is I just do not get full with what I'm eating. Interesting. So what I'm kind of hoping is that now that I'm having dairy and meat and chicken and stuff for the first time in 10 to 13 years, I am now eating like a small. amount and then I'm like, oh, I'm stuffed.

You're going to be satiated. Yes. Yeah. And so, I don't know. Not that I'm expecting any sort of body transformations, but I am curious if the last several meals that I've had, I have felt full way faster than I do. Interesting. That's so interesting.

Yeah. Wow. Stay tuned, game. I know. This is huge news. It is. I like it. Because I wanted to bring donut friend this morning so you could like bring it home and like,

because it's, you know. Yeah. But I didn't have my shit together, but now I know I can bring regular stuff. When I told Leah, she was like very supportive. She was also just like, do whatever you want. She was like, you can, don't do it for me and stuff. She was very supportive. And she was like, have you told people yet?

And I was like, oh, no, but you know who I'm really excited to tell, Rachel and Olivia? Because we live for the food. Yeah. Yeah. No, our life just got better. Yeah. Because now we can like go eat. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we'll go to places. You know? Not just garbonzo beans anymore. Yeah, I had Zanku chicken for the first time. Wow. I'm just excited to try all these, like, L.A. staples. My sister and her brother-in-law were in town a couple months ago, and they're like, what are the L.A. staples?

And Lee and I were like, we don't really go to any of them. I can start sending you because I've now collected a thing of places to try. Great. I love that. You don't have TikTok. No, I don't. But what are you talking about? All good food in L.

Like the best sandwich places, the best burrito places. They do that on Instagram. Yeah. I don't have it on Instagram. Okay. Well, anyways. I can still share with you the list. But there's a lot of exciting food to be eaten, guys.

I believe that. I know. So a lot of new things on the horizon. I like it. A lot of new foods. Yeah. I'm excited for you. Thank you.

It'll be interesting. I always get excited when people start eating meat again. I know. I had a. chocolate milkshake and watched the movie Cruel Intentions for the first time. That sounds for the first time. I've never seen it before.

What'd you think? Wow. It was crazy. But the ending was truly shocking to me. I did not expect Spoiler alert. Sebastian to be killed in a car crash or car accident, I guess, whatever he got hit.

I don't remember that movie at all. What? That's one of my favorite movies. That's a great movie. Yeah, Selma Blair and Buffy the Vampire Slayer make out. And I think I remember like people talking about that scene specifically. I remember that too. And Reese Witherspoon and stuff.

It's Stats cast. Oh, she's in cruel intentions too? Yes, with Ryan Philippi. Yes. Is that how you say it? I think so. And when they get together for the first time, it's hot. Yeah, it's why.

Is that how they met, right? I think so. Like how they started dating or something. That makes sense. That's one of my favorite movies. And what kind of. milkshake chocolate? Yes.

Habit Burger. Okay. I had a milkshake from Habit Burger last night. That's weird. That is weird. I never do that. Oh, I had Oreo. I got cookies and cream.

Yeah. That's what you said? I got Oreo. Yeah, yeah. Cookies and cream. Nice. I know. This is going to be my life now.

It's funny because I'm like, I actually might lose weight and it's like, I want to try all the milkshakes of heavy. We just ordered milkshakes too. From where? Burger Lounge because they do. do vegan. Yeah. Burger lounge?

It's a burger place, but they do vegan milkshakes. So we get regular. Yeah. What kind did you get? Vanilla. I love vanilla. I love vanilla. I like a vanilla milkshake.

One of what my favorite milkshake of all time is? A banana milkshake, but it has to be a real banana. Yes. On another pot I work on, the host ranked their top milkshakes. And what? Were they? They said vanilla. Oh, just flavors.

Flavors. Valera. Oreo. Banana was third for some of them. I love banana. Banana's number one. Yeah, I want to try. Jack and Burger has a good cookies and cream one. Ooh. Yeah, I like cookies and cream too. Just saying. I've had it. I know it's good. That's so good. I'm a fan of a milkshake. I don't like ice cream, but I like a milkshake. Wow. What's the deal with that? I don't know. I went to ice cream yesterday, guys. You always go to ice cream. We go to ice cream like four days a week. She's obsessed with ice cream. It's the best. I love a a lot of people.

I saw Lindsay. Oh, yeah. Did I tell you this? No. So I'm at ice cream and I'm standing in line and this girl walks in and I look at her and I go, no. And she goes, no. And we just like run to each other, start hugging. We're like, shut the fuck up.

Like just being so extra. And then she says hi to the girl working there as if she loves her as much as she loves me. And I was like, what is this? And Jeff just stone face looks at us and he goes. goes, the fuck is going on here. Who are you? And then Shepard, like, starts moving. She goes, yeah, Shepard, do it.

And he's like, you know my son? She's like, that's my soulmate. Who are you? Yeah. Anyways, it was so good to see her. She needs to be part of everything we do. She wrote me. She's like, George is on the podcast.

Why the fuck am I not on the podcast? Why? She not on the podcast. Let's have her on the podcast. Amazing. She's outstanding. Great. Yeah.

Anyways. Ice cream. Ice cream. Ice cream. That's it. We got to record some more stuff. All right. See you.

All right. Bye, guys.
