You know, maybe you had some ups, maybe you had some downs. But hopefully it all comes back around for the weekend, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, it does. It is Friday. Friday before a beautiful September weekend. I think it's going to be warm. It might be too warm. We're in that. You guys see the, there's always a meme that goes around about like New York winter. I mean New York weather. Yes. That's like New York seasons are actually eight

different seasons where you have, you know, it's scorching hot. And then you have fake. fall and then you have repeat summer and then you have real fall where these last couple days we started to get kind of like fake fall. I think it's going to be hot. It's going to be like in the 80s again this weekend. I am truly ready for it to go into low 70

high 60 degree weather. I want low 60s high 50s. Oh no. That's a drastic change. That's too drastic of a change. No you'll be a hoodie in in 65 to 72 degree weather. I wore this little shacks. No, in the 70s I'm not wearing a hoodie to I wore this shacket to work because I stepped outside. It was like 70 degrees and I was a little chilly. I think 70 degrees you could wear a hoodie.

You know when the air is crisp and you can feel it hit your face? I love that. I don't like that. I don't like that. Apparently you. People love fall. That makes my ears cold. Yeah, fall, not winter.

High 50s, low 60s is not winter. No, that's reaching. High 50s is cold. High 50s is winter. Tell me high 50s is cold in three months when it's snowing. No, we're talking relative to, fall no of. Fall weather is like 60s.

The ideal fall weather. The ideal fall day to me is 66 degrees. I like that. Yeah, I agree. 65 to 72. Maybe more than 62 for me, but that's just personal preference. That's a personal preference.

That's fine. I already spoke about this, but I'm usually one who just drag summer all the way into winter. You do that. You do that. entirely. I am so excited for fall. You are. I love fall. I think I'm going to participate in some Sunday fun days. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I said. I think I'm going to participate in some. I hate that I just

called it Sunday Friday. I'm really sorry. I just did that. No, it's okay. But Sundays are great. Why are you crying? I have truly no idea this time. I think I'm just so excited about participating in some Sundays. I don't know what. Yeah. I. I, You're making me emotional for no reason, too. I don't, ugh. Truly, why am I crying about being excited to participate in Sunday fond days? Do you like apple picking? No, I could do without.

No, I'd rather just go sit at a bar and watch some football. Or a vineyard, like, go walk through, drink some wine. I could do that. Yeah. Apple cider. But apple picking. But, you know, like, maybe I will do some fun fall activities this year. Maybe you will.

Pumpkins. Ah, maybe I'll carve a pumpkin. I'm full of life I do like decorating for fall The leaves Central Park Oh yeah I got to get down there Up there up there

I you know what would actually be a great little A great little couple trip for you Tell me Me and my girlfriends did it a couple years ago But I think you would If you want to like Really dig into the fall vibe

Yeah We did Saratoga like as the leaves were changing. Beautiful. That is beautiful. And it's such a cute, you know, he has some friends over there.

Such a cute town. I've never been. There's great bars. Oh. Like it has a little something for, for everyone. No, I might have to do that.

The what? You know skinny Atlas? No. Oh, you don't? It's upstate, but it's like very nice. Oh, oh, no. Upstate New York.

You don't know skinny? Oh, so nice. I'm pretty sure. I've never heard of it. One of the presidents went there to vacation. I don't know. I'm just really excited for Sundays. Yeah, I do love Sundays.

Because I usually hate Sundays. I really do. But now I'm like, you know what? Why not just make the most of my Sundays and head to a bar? Amen. Why don't I just drink my Sundays away? Amen. Like everybody else on this earth.

Also, we don't record on Sundays anymore. Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Fran. Hey, Fram. J.J.O. Nobody's going to have that. Oh, boy. As much as we joked about Harry Stiles making a Chris Pine joke at his first show back,

the man made a Chris Pine joke at his first show back. Couldn't believe it. He had to. He had. I really kind of thought he didn't have to, but he did. I didn't think he was going to. but I thought that he had to win everyone back. Like, he won Ria back.

It was a funny joke. He did win me back. It was a funny joke. And I really, like, he performed, I want to say he performed, like, two songs. And then he got into the mic and he's, hey, everybody. Unfortunately, he was talking on the other side of where I was. So it was, like, kind of hard to hear because his voice was going the other way. But, Gia has good ears.

So I was like, what did he just say? I can't believe it. I'm so jealous. He's like he made him. He said, just popped over to Venice to spit on Chris Vine. Now we're back at MSG. Everybody laughed. Very funny joke by him. Self-awareness. Now Kelly Kiggs is going tonight and the Queen just passed and now she'll be able to hear Harry's. He's going to have to say something. He's going to say something.

He's going to say something. I don't know. So both of you are getting inside scoops. History being made. Do you think he, I guess he has, I mean, he doesn't have, just because he's British. I don't know. No, he doesn't have to. It doesn't have to. It is something that I think anybody would mention. He should play like a.

a special song for her. Maybe. Side note is a more personal level for you. Your birthday's coming up. It is. And I got you a really cool game. Rhea's hyping up this gift so hard. I told you it.

So hard. She said it's something I have never seen before in my whole life. Never seen done before. Never seen done before. For me. I'm trying to remember what it was. Look at our text. I texted it to you yesterday.

Well, while you look, I have one, I want to say, what did I want to say about Harry Styles? Oh, also absolutely adorable. I post this on my Instagram story. Oh yeah, yeah. Do you agree it's something I've never seen before? Yeah.

Okay, I mean. That's a fact. I'm very excited. But my only, I'm sorry to cut you, we can go back to back. My only worry and I'm getting, we're not so far from your birthday, but we're a little, we're far enough now

that you know it's done with. Yeah. I just don't know if it's going to get here in time for your birthday. And I want that on record. But once you do get it, it'll come within the week of your birthday. Okay. Once you get it, you'll understand that this needs some time.

So are you not going to tell her on her birthday what it is? No, no, no, no. Because I did get her another gift as well that will be definitely here on your birthday. And that one's great too. So you'll have a little, you have a little treat before you get the full shebang. I'm trying not to think about it too much. You'll never, you'll never, you'll never. thinking of, like I'd rather just...

You'll just never guess it. Yeah, like, I don't even, you know... You literally will never guess it. Well, that's why I don't even want to think about it because I don't want to, in my head, come up with ideas of what it is. And they get disappointed? Not disappointed, but being like, oh,

or just like taken aback. Like, I just don't want to be, like, shocked. When you were kids... I want to be shocked in a good way because I'm like, wow. I never... I wouldn't even thought of this. So I'm not even thinking about it.

We'll never expect it and we'll leave it at that. Would you try to find the presents, like, before Christmas or, like... No. Because I was the type where I didn't want, if I knew where they were, I would like, didn't want to, I closed my eyes when my mom was rapping. Me too. I didn't want to see. I like the surprise. Yeah. I, I did a couple years. I actually don't love surprises. Well, that's because I haven't been surprised often until this year. And now I do enjoy them because they're very sweet. But before that, I had never really been surprised with anything. So I always said I didn't like surprises. Like someone showing up in like a city. That was a great surprise. It was a good surprise. I've also never really been surprised. Have you yet? Ever?

No, like surprise, yeah, but not like, not a surprise. Well, good thing today. Not a surprise that's like made for me. Like, I've been surprised by news or happening. Yeah, you know, like a surprise gift or a surprise party. Yeah. Have you ever had a surprise party? Wow, so you've never been surprised with something.

That's just not true. No, no, it is true. Not like me. That has to be true. Up until this year... I mean, look, you can say you're surprised when you get a gift, like... Yeah, but like...

From family or like a significant other or something, but nothing that's like... I'm just not... I'm totally out of the loop. You're led a different way and then to the surprise. Like, truly that has never happened to be until this year and now Marty has given me

at least five surprises in the last couple months. I'd never have been surprised so much or ever until this year. Trying to think. I feel like, like, you're just talking about, like, a huge event type thing. Yeah, yeah. Not even a huge event, but just like, like, say she was going somewhere. Hey, babe, we have plans next week and I'm not telling you what it is.

It's a surprise. Okay, great. And then you show up and it's like a, it's like a, it's a date night. And it's like, you're going to a Broadway show, but you don't know what show it is. Like something like that. Or not even telling you. Or a party or anything like that. Telling you there's a surprise.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, Fran's going to the vineyard with just her family. Joe says, I can't come this weekend. Boom, he shows up. Right. Yeah. We'll work on Sunday. Hey, when you get engaged, I bet it'll be a surprise.

I hope so. I would prefer it to be that way. Say, hey, next week, I'm going to put it to you. I would definitely prefer it to be that way. Oh, Harry styles. Harry, there was a mom and her, I'm assuming, mom and daughter who were like at the end of the catwalk they were up against the barricade in the pit she was so cute she had on like big red headphones to help with like the sound and everything

and every time harry walked down that catwalk the first time he looked in the crowd and saw her he was like oh you guys good like making sure she was okay because she's small and it's in the pit and it's loud and then every single time he went back down the catwalk he like would give her a thumbs up to make sure she was okay and then at the end of the show he went and totally a pair of drumsticks and brought it out and handed it to her. It was very, very cute. And now, like, Noah, you went to the show.

And then he spit on the drumsticks and handed it to her. You do the, he has, like, the joke about, um, the golf dads. Yeah, I don't know if he did that at my show. I don't remember him doing that. So that's, or maybe there's a lot more golf dad's. So the dads who, like, bring their daughters or to, to the concerts, jokes about them. It's like, and it's so classic New York, too. It's just like, the guys, the dads are, like, coming off work.

They're in their poll. polos, they got the beer in their hand. And literally the section next to us was, it was very cute. It was a group of like four girls. I'm guessing they were all friends. They were probably, my guess would be like young high school. Like they were young, maybe a little younger, that age range. Eighth to ninth grade.

Yeah, like somewhere where like, or maybe even younger, like somewhere where you're still going to concerts with your dad, you know? Yeah. And each of their, I think it was like each of their dads. And so there were four girls in one row And then the four dads behind them And they had other people around them And it was really cute

Because all the girls had trucker hats That said, I'm with golf dad And then all the dads had hats It said golf dad. That's funny. And so when Harry Love when dads play along like that. It was very cute.

And so when Harry did the whole thing Like being like, we've been doing this thing For the shows where we've Where I count the golf dads And I count how many there are And everybody's like everybody point them out And so everybody had seen the family all the kids in the hats.

And so everyone was like pointing at the hats, pointing at the hats. And so he's walking over. He's like looking to the crowd. He's looking. Everybody's pointing because they were right up on the rail in the lower section. And Harry goes and he's like, oh, look at this group. And he's like looking at them. And he goes, what did the hats say?

And they were like, golf dad. He was like, oh, golf dad? Oh, okay, yeah, okay. Honestly, Harry's bringing families together because now girls are probably like, they want their dad to come. Yeah, no, absolutely. I think there are a lot of people. He counted 40 people.

He said the record breaking. He was like, you guys will all be the show where we broke the record for the amount of golf dads. And then I think one of them like screamed at Harry if he wanted a hat. And Harry was like, I'm good. But no, it was a. That's mean. He should have just taken a hat. No, it was a good show.

He played medicine, which everyone freaked out about. You were very close. Yeah, I don't know how, Gia. Well done to Gia. Joe Jonas and Sophie were there. and I didn't realize I was leaving. They were like right behind. Yeah, I saw those videos. They were in a box though, so they were nice to protect. Sophie was jamming out. Sophie was jamming. You know Sophie loves hair. It's Sophie's a little

fan girl. Yeah, she is. Now I and I I deliberately wore like, not war because it was still warm, but I brought a Harry's house sweatshirt that I got the one night only show to the concert. Because in my head, I was like, I'm going to bring a hairy sweatshirt so that in my mind, I won't go buy another sweatshirt because I'm like I already got one like I'm holding it I don't need to go buy another sweatshirt G and I walk in there's no lines at any of the merch stands

and I'm like oh shoot he's got a beautiful lavender that when did you show up there were no lines the lines were crazy when I showed up there was no lines I also think that they I think they expanded because they were selling merch everywhere they also sell it like early in the day

yeah they do but they were like they sold it right you can go right into the main entrance they sold it when you were getting it through the concessions they had the merch hands but then like one area they were selling it in the bar like it was behind the bar they were selling it everywhere so obviously I had to get the lavender hoodie and another long sleep shirt because I couldn't resist and then you know you get absolutely bamboozled because now I have two sweatshirts and a long sleeve shirt and I'm like well now I need a bag so I had to buy a tote bag because they don't give you bags well because I don't give you bags well because says I'm not going to carry all this around. I about to buy a bag. You know what I thought would

actually be a funny idea for a shirt? They did bamboozle you. For, and I think it's ironic because it would be our own merch. But like a shirt that says like merch slut or something. Like a, like a merch. Like that. Like something where you're just, you're just a whore for merch. Yeah. That's you. I literally own so much merch. You are a dirty little merch. I am a dirty little merch. Walking around the streets in New York, it's crazy how like every block someone's wearing a love on tour shirt. I know. Like everyone in the city has gone to see this guy. It's a lot.

Some girl, I saw some girl with a giant spit on me poster that she wasn't allowed in because the poster was too big. Oh. Yeah. It's unfortunate. She was like the really big poster. Olivia Wild wasn't there. No. You know, oh, the last thing I wanted to ask you.

And I wrote this down, but I actually remember. Devin posted on the checks in the office Instagram when that event, when he had commented. and then she posted a screenshot of our group chat. And it says like Ria Chiffo, Fran Mariano, you know, because in her phone she has our first and last names. Do you have my last name in your phone? No. Okay, I don't either.

Because that made me think as I was like, wait, I think almost everyone in my life, I have their first and last name in my phone, including your boyfriend. No, Joe is actually just as Joe. Okay. It was It did have

Yeah It just says Joe In the beginning yeah Yeah But now But yours is just Ria No you're just Fran Yeah

And I have like mom and dad Frank Fran Mariano That'd feel wrong to me Right like that's what I was thinking Because I was looking at the I saw the I also find it weird When I was looking at the

The Devon has my last name Yeah I was looking at Because it's not your full first name Right when I was looking at the screenshots And I was like Ria Chiffel and Fran Mariano I guess we are

I guess that's our name I have to say your first name. So I... Yeah. I have your last name as your contact. Rio Chiro... Do you have Noah or Noah? I have no Ives.

Yeah. But that's... How many Noah is you on your phone? You. Just me? I actually only have one Noah. And two. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah. I guess maybe over time, maybe I'll lose the last name in your phone. It's more so just like when I first met you, I put it in under that. But... You know what's really offensive if you have... If it was like Noah Barstool. I think that was for a little bit.

No. Oh, I think I might have had Noah Barstle for a while. But like way early on, really early on. I'm trying to think of who I still have is like with Barstle at the end. Ria Chiffo doesn't make sense to me because it's Maria Chiffo. I hate Fram Mariano. It's Maria Chiffo or just Ria. Yeah, I know. Like, I'm like Madonna. Exactly. It's like either like I'll just introduce myself. I will introduce myself as Fran or as Francesca Mariano. Same. Maria Chiffo or Ria. That's why sometimes when we have when we have a Vada, it's like either. or work stuff and we have to like introduce ourselves or say our names or if we're doing anything. Oh, well we can say it now because it's out tonight.

We did a Jersey Shore special. But yeah, that's our feel, guys. The something we worked on. This thing we said that we filmed. Yes. It's out. Said we couldn't talk about. Hopefully everybody watched it last night.

Yes. Yeah, it'll be out by now. But the, like our name plays it just says Fran and Ria Chicks in the office. And I was like good because I would have, I don't, I don't, I would not have liked it if it said Fran, Mariano and Ria Chicks. I just feel like either that or Francesca Mariano and Maria Chiffa. Right, because my initials are not RC. Yeah.

And when we went to do the Amazing Race thing and they had our packets, it had FM and RC. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not me. My initials are MC. Yeah. Ria is just a nickname. Yeah. So, yeah. And unfortunately, the nickname is the end of my name.

And so that is not my initials. Yeah. So, but anyway, a few months ago, we filmed a. Jersey Shore special of like just a history of Jersey Shore, the relevance, the importance, just the historical reality TV show, significance of a show like Jersey Shore. We got to be a part of the special that is, you can watch on MTV. And it was a lot of fun.

So cool. Our first, I mean, we've been on TV before, but this is like TV. Yeah, yeah. You know, this is MTV. One MTV. Yeah. Oh my God. So cool.

We honestly didn't know it was coming out. week until the day before. Like, just popped up. The promo just popped up. We said, oh, there it is. Yeah, we were given no warning. Or else we would have warned you guys if you missed it to watch, but we didn't know. So, yeah, hopefully, you know, we looked like stars and whatever.

I saw a couple of clips. It's not out yet. I was filming this. I saw a couple clips and I was like, damn, I really do have a monotone voice. Nothing that I could do about it, you know? Yeah. I don't know if it's just like the professional setting. It's more just like your own voice, I think sounds weird to you.

Whereas when people watch probably will be like, that's, That's how she sounds all the time when she's talking on a podcast. That's her voice. Yeah. So who knows, very exciting, though, very cool. Super cool that we got to be a part of it. Yeah. I thought we were going to, like, get cut out of the whole thing.

So it's very cool. I'm glad that it's happening. And very important to make Jersey Shore. It is. As a TV show. So let's get into the rest of the show. Yeah. We got some topics in a great interview.

We're going to be talking about the queen who has passed away. Yeah, crazy. Absolutely. Wild crazy. Dancing with the Stars cast has been revealed. And Zazzy. Ephron reveals what happened to his face when everyone was freaking out about it. And we have a really, really great interview with Justin Long in person who's so much fun. We talk about a whole range of different things. So let's get into it starting off with the queen. Now a word from our sponsor,

Better Help. It can be really tough to train your brain to stay in the problem solving mode when faced with a challenge in life. But when you learn how to find your own solutions, there is no better feeling. A therapist can help you become a better problem solver, making it easier to accomplish your goals, no matter how big or small. We all have those daily stressors of life, maybe bigger, some are smaller, and it can become really overwhelming to try to sort things out in your own brain. And that's why a therapist can be great. You could talk about, you know, your own personal life problems or whatever's going through your head with somebody that is outside of your life that can help you. You know, better help is great because you could do it online. You could do it

over the phone, video chat, you know, chatting. You don't need to leave your apartment or your house or, you know, with work. You may be like, how can I see this person in person? You don't have to do any of that. Better help is online therapy and more affordable than regular therapy. So if you're thinking of giving therapy a try, better help is a great way to start in a great option that you can look into. It's convenient. It's accessible. It's affordable. And it's entirely online. Getting matched with a therapist after filling at a brief survey, and you can switch to therapists at any time. So they will match it for you.

This is something the world has expected. There was a plan. There was a code. Apparently, like the code for the plan. Plan. A plan. What happens after the queen? No, no, no, no.

It's like what goes down once the queen dies. Like, once what goes down, it's called like London Bridge. Is the code was like the code name for. Olympus has fallen. Well, because they have to plan. Like, when the queen gets to this age, the, the firm. This plan is probably been in place for like 20 years. Yeah, everybody's got a plan what happens, who needs to show up, what's going down, the funeral, everything.

I'm sure they have a full rundown. Whole country enters this morning phase and there are just over like the next week plus there's so much that happens. But yes, the queen has passed away at 96 years old, 70 years on the throne. she is I'm gonna know this is your time to talk about it well because she's just you're just never going to have a woman like her again

in the royal family I just feel like as this the world moves on the interest and necessity of the royal family declines and she is really like one of

the only ones left that actually made an impact. And now, you know, we moved down the line and I think everybody jokes that, you know, the monarchy is irrelevant and, well, monarchy because she was the queen and, but irrelevant royal family. That is just not like functional at this point anymore with the way the world is. And the queen was, the queen became, she was 25. She was the queen.

So much responsibility. I was talking to Devin and Noah about this. Like she, around that time, it was like in the early, you know, 1950s. Yes, 1950s. And like, you just think about where the world was at that time, what was happening, who she was dealing with, the people she was involved with, and everything that was happening. And then also thinking, like, where women's rights were in our country,

it's crazy, it's a crazy comparison. But she will always be remembered for all that she did. And whether you know you're one of those rural family conspiracy people and ah, she's terrible, she did this, that, the other thing, you can't take away everything that she has done in her seven years being on the throne. And it's just, it's quite a legacy. I really don't, no one will ever repeat that legacy. And now Charles is the king, which sucks. I wish we could just skip Charles. I already saw a portrait of Charles as long live the king.

Ugh. I know nothing about the royal family, which is why I'm not speaking right now. I know. Charles is up. I think we should go to London. I want, I keep having dreams. You were saying this yesterday, like, randomly, like, I need to go to London. Because I keep having dreams about being in London.

Maybe I'm being called to be the queen in my dreams. No, but it is, it is, it's crazy. It's crazy. Hello, a monarch, there's not been a death. No, I mean, it's insane. She's 96 years old. Yeah. Has been the queen forever.

I have a question. It's the most. Who is considered a monarch? Well, monarch is. Because Princess Diana died obviously, but she wasn't considered. No, no, no. Considered. A monarch is just like the queen.

It's only the head. Yeah. So now there's just one monarch at a time? Yes. I'll read you the definition A person who reigns over a kingdom or empire Oh Okay

So it's yes Literally it is her That is her So she was her Yeah Thank you Noah I know this actually sounds Like such a bizarre thing to say

At this very moment Go for it But I'd welcome something bizarre No but like of all things of all people Chloe Kardashian wrote on her inscript story A really nice statement about the queen dying Like it's very well said

More eloquent than I could just Said out loud I was going to say our version of this would be Christian or dying No Jesus Christ Anyway no She wrote Today the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth

The Second A sad day for the United Kingdom Restart, restart I'm laughing, I know I'm laughing Okay She said Today the world, you got this.

You're fumbling your words lately, and I don't know why. I know. Today, the world mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth II. A sad day for the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the world. All of us should admire the queen's exemplary sense of duty and her commitment to her people. Such an incredible woman and an inspiration to us all, she will always be remembered as someone who led with dignity, grace, and nobility over her 70 years as queen. There is so much change in our world.

And to have the queen as a constant presence, to me, always brought. a sense of comfort and peace. She truly graced the world and there will never be another like her. All of my love and prayers are with the queen's family and my sympathies are with the British people and the commonwealth. God bless the queen and may she rest in peace.

She is with her prince now. It's that beautiful. The queen is crying in heaven. That is beautiful. It is very well said. It's crazy to think about somebody keeping their composure for that long to the public, right?

The queen has kept her shit together. Since she was 25. since she was 25-year-old to 96 as the queen. Yeah. Imagine the duties you have as the queen? It's insane. That is crazy. Yeah.

Truly, like, wrapping your head around that is wild. Yeah. Yeah. It is. I mean, she was born in 19... Let's do the math. I'll do the math. But I am also really bad at that for some reason with age.

She was born 19... of the 1926 1926 she was like really nuts she was an adult when Hitler was that's crazy imagine living through that

and then living through today's world and now she's like on her iPhone they are exactly that is insane they're just that's what I'm saying like the events that she has witnessed in her life is just really there's not a lot of people that are still that age anymore that are that old

and that live to that age And I mean, it definitely is nice to think, you know, a lot of people are saying when Prince Philip went, it was very hard for her. And this has happened fairly soon after Philip passed away. So it's, you know, they will be reunited again so that they can, their actual resting place is the same. And it was a whole ordeal. I feel like since this morning when it just, when the news came out of, you know, she's, her health is not great. and the families, all the family's coming, that's, I mean, that's immediately like she's either dead or is going to die shortly.

All members of the royal family headed to Scotland except, I mean, there was always there's some exceptions, but Harry and Will were both there, but not Kate and not Megan. Harry and Megan were in London already for some engagements that they had already set up. So Harry went, Megan didn't. Will went, but not Kate did not go because apparently it was the kids kids are starting a new school, so she wanted to be there for that. But I don't know why Megan had to say, I guess Megan is not welcome.

Megan's probably like, honey, you go. You go handle that. That feels more like. That seems appropriate. Windsor Castle is. That's an immediate family just to handle it. It's so nice. Like where she's being buried.

I've been there. You guys would like it. Yeah. It's all beautiful. So it's pretty. crazy and I just I think it's I don't know if anybody

actually has a pleasant feeling towards Charles at all it sucks because now it's just it immediately happens it's like oh well now Charles is king he also might not be Charles his name is Charles but when you become like you can be a different name as a king you could just pick a different name

he'd be like King Charles the third or something so he might change it King Charlie Keep it cash. It would be Bob. Just like random. Or Chuck, isn't that the other name for Charlie?

It is, yes. I don't think Chuck gets approved. I don't think so either. So there's going to be tons of moments and crazy things. There's going to be a lot of events over the next couple weeks that everybody's going to be very, very tuned into. It's going to be what everybody is. is talking about and like we haven't seen we haven't seen this happen since 1953 I think it was now we're going to happen a lot of what oh well Charles is 70s is going to be dead and then

will be dead we'll probably we'll probably see at least two more in our lifetime hopefully hopefully I'm here morbid turn there that is that is but but no you are right I think we would in our lifetime we would probably be we probably see charles and well yeah god forbid yeah something else happens yeah let's let's hope so so it's gonna be a crazy thing but i think we're just you know we're so used to all the god save the queen and all those things that it's just it's just it feels wrong changing it to king it really does i'm happy that i was in london the year that she yeah i guess i don't know why that matters but there was a beautiful i don't think it does really I don't know if that matters at all.

I don't think it matters one bit. I was there one more time and I felt her presence. You felt the queen's president. I went to Buckingham Palace like. Well, that's true. I'm really trying to go. I said, like, we should go tomorrow. Like, we should really go.

Me and you? I'll be honest. I'm pretty disappointed that now I've never been with the queen as the queen. Yeah. So it does matter. I am. What you just said does. You know, it is.

It does. I'll say it does because now I'm disappointed. Their face is on the money. Yeah, like when I go now, it's like all the, and all the tour. Tauracy memorabilia, is it going to be all Charles now? They'll still have the queen stuff. Do they change all the money now?

Because her face is on like everything, I'm pretty sure. No, they'll still be floating around. No, they will. But it changes. Well, we got to get there and get some before. A lot of things change. Did you save any with her face on it? I actually might have some pounds, but I don't know.

A lot of things changed. But it's great. There was a beautiful rainbow over Buckingham Palace like right before the announcement came. So it's just very symbolic. but what a time. God saved the queen. God did not save the queen.

Sorry, don't put that in there. I feel like we can't. If you keep on saying you need to make a budget and you just never do it, you never get around to it, if somehow you keep missing credit card payments or if you're afraid to look at your bank statements, then it's time to take back control of your financial life. Meet Rocket Money, which formerly was True Bill,

favorite financial app. So why did True Bill change its name to Rocket Money? We will tell you what we heard. True Bill now backed by Rocket Companies has grown from a bill management app into a full-on personal finance empowerment tool with budgeting, lowering bills, canceling subscriptions, and more, saving each of their members on average $700 a year. And with all that growth comes the next evolution in True Bill story, which is a new name. So bottom line, Rocket Money is everything that we love about Truebell, but with a fresh feel and look. Rocket Money is great. If you have any questions about budgeting your money or you need it all to be in one place, the app is great. And also, you know, canceling those subscriptions is a huge part of this. I think so many people

sign up for things on a trial or whatever and they, then they forget about it. They keep being charged. You can manage all of your subscriptions right in the app. So you can start canceling your unused subscriptions and save money at rocketmoney.com slash chicks. That's rocketmoney.com slash chicks or download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The Dancing with the Stars cast has been revealed for this season. Some fun people on there.

And Charlie and Heidi will be on Dancing with the Stars as well as... a few other notable names. We can run through it quick because I think there's some fun ones, some surprising ones.

And then, you know, as always there's like, like Selma Blair is doing Dancing with the Stars. That's a big one. She's, that's a recognizable. You want to go through it because this is a thing people love to say, like, I remember when celebrities were celebrities. Now everyone on the show is just like influencers and like different things. Selma Blair. I don't know her by name. Yes, you do.

By name. Yes, you do. Salmobbler. Yes, you do. Cool intentions, lily blonde. No. Oh my God. I don't.

Sometimes you are truly disappointing. Really? I really don't. Her face doesn't ring a bill. Sorry. Oh, my. That's wild to me. Okay, well, there's, it goes from her to Sam Champion, who is a weatherman.

Like, it's a nuts. Oh, Sam from GM. GM. Well, that unbelievable. He knows the weatherman. He's like, oh, Sam Champion, GMA, yeah. Duh. He's got the inside family track.

Yeah, yeah. The Jesse James Decker is on Dancing with the Stars. I think everyone knows her. You know, reality show, married to Eric Decker's country singer. I'm curious if you were a big fan of Trevor Donovan. He was on 9-on-2-0. I forget his character's name. The big blonde guy.

No I wasn't Didn't like his character on the show It's not that I didn't like his character on the show I did like his character on the show He had an amazing arc He did He did

But I wasn't like I liked Liam a lot I loved Liam too Yeah He is on there He Teresa Drew dice

Get that money I feel like she's gonna be Awful Really bad Yeah And I say that kindly And her apples and her hair are going to be crazy. I just don't have high hopes for her on this show.

Now, on the other side of Jersey reality TV royalty, who I actually do think might be pretty good, Vinnie. Vinny. Vinny. From Jersey Shore. He's got that Chippendale's expertise, right? Yeah. He's still doing it.

Oh, he's still doing it? Yeah. Oh, he's going to have some moves. If I had to guess they're going to have him come out and do some song to like pony or something. Oh, 100%. Like that's. writes itself. That's a good move for Vinny.

Yeah. To go on Dancing with the Stars. Yeah. Cheryl Ladd is on it, who I don't really know, but she's one of the original Charlie's Angels from the original Charlie's Angels TV show, which I know what that is, but I have never watched that. Jason Lewis, who's an actor who's known from his character on Sex and the City. Also, shrug. Damn. Shrug.

I remember when this cast used to be something. Yeah. Now it's just a bunch of no names. Shangela is one of the queens from RuPaul's drag race. RuPaul, like I've put on a couple episodes of drag race and I'm always so entertained. But I've never like really consistently watched. So I don't know enough about like the people. Obviously we know Charlie and Heidi.

Yes. Are going to be on which will be very interesting between the two of them. Gabby is on Not Rachel, just Gabby. Gabby the Bachelorette Yeah. Is on Dancing with the Stars? Yeah. News to me?

Really? Yeah. Oh. Why didn't we talk about this? I thought we did. She's been, people have been talking about her going to rehearsal for the last couple weeks. It's funny. No, no, legit. It's really hurt. Out of the two of them, I would have thought Rachel would have done it.

She's partnered with Val. Well, Gabby was a cheerleader. Oh. An NFL cheerleader for the Broncos. Oh, wait, what? Did I not know that? Did you know that? I did know that.

Do you think Rachel's mad? I don't know. But it's just Gabby. I mean, the question raises itself, though. It does. Jordan Sparks. Whoa. No air.

No air. Big name. All summer long, my go-to, like, late night, everybody's kind of hanging around, listen to music or, like, what's a good song suggestion? I've been saying no air for, like, all the time. It is such a good song. No. No air.

That was probably the worst rendition of that I've ever heard. Like, you just wrote a song. I won't fight that. I know it was bad. But it wasn't even like how it went. No air, no air. What? Like, don't make her do it again.

No, no. I almost want to do it because it's like, that's not how it's done. It does, she had the right melody. It was just, no air. No. No air. She was doing it right. It was, I don't know.

You were doing it right. You were trying to. You were trying to. We got to. Something's wrong with you. Your tear ducts are broken. Okay. Wayne Brady.

No. No pitch. No pitch. No. That's what she's doing. That part. Wow. Assault.

No. No. No. It was like you don't know how to speak English. Noah. Wayne Brady guys. Wayne Brady also on Dancing with the Stars.

Actual tears going from us. Did you guys watch whose line is it anyway growing up? I only shut it off. What? I loved who's line is it anyway. I felt like I wasn't old enough to watch it. I'd be like this is inappropriate. Wow, that's a very, that's a very mature decision

for a young person. Oh my God, I must shut this off. I don't know why. I was the opposite. My whole, me and and JBN would stay up like late because it would always sleep in the basement house. It would come on ABC Family at like midnight. And it came on after something. Yeah.

It came on after. I can't remember after what, but before the Catholic TV shows would start. You know those ones that would start on ABC Family? Yes. The Christian or like the religious ones. That tell us something. What was it called?

I don't know, but I know Kellenberg used to Hill Neurologist TV show from Kellenberg. That was on TV. And then there's Joseph, I don't know how to say his name. Let me say. Bena? Let me get a shot at it. Baina.

Top, at the top. Bena. Bena. He is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger that, remember, it was like a big thing that Arnold had an affair in the 90s and he had a son of the son of. What is this, claim to fame? So they couldn't get Patrick when they got Joseph Bena. Yeah.

Yep. That's correct. And then there's Daniel Durant, who is... Kevin Durant's brother? Nope. Nope. This actor, he was, he's an actor. He was in Coda and switched to birth on ABC family.

He was born deaf. So he was like, Cota was obviously the movie with Dahlva. How does that work with dancing? It must be challenging. They, um, they've done it before. Well... I guess you just like memorized the dance music. There's an...

And think about there. I mean, Tasha from Love Island is a professional dancer. We talked about this. A lot of, you can, there's a lot of timing.

You can feel it, right. Sometimes you can feel the music. Yes. Yes. So that, it's a very interesting cast. And this season,

a mix, certainly a mix of a lot of different folks. And it will be on Disney Plus starting September 19th, which I'm interested to see how it goes down because it's like, I'm so used to watching dancing with commercials.

It's live on Disney Plus. And I'm like, these shows kind of need commercials to change the set and move things around. No, I don't think so. I'm a streaming service. No, I know, but maybe they would like put their own ads in. Oh, I don't know, maybe, but I don't think. I don't think they are doing that. So I think it's a lot like more show, which is, I think it's going to be very interesting.

So excited for that. That wraps up that. Zach Efron is on the cover of men's health. and he's talking a lot about his health journey. And, like, I mean, I feel like he's been through a lot of stuff with, like, these crazy shows that he films now where he's traveling all around the world and eating different things and exercising differently

and all these different things. But the big thing at everybody talked about was months ago, was that even this year? I don't remember what. It was this year. Months ago. I said that so confidently. I have no idea.

Zach appeared. So it was for last year's Earth Day. It was like a clip of Bill and I. Last year's Earth Day, his jaw seemed really like big. And everyone thought he got some kind of injectable. It was like, oh my God, Zach Efron. He injected shit to his face. Why would you, our beautiful little baby?

Why would you do this? The whole thing, everybody freaked out. Our little bobbler. Yeah. And the way I just like ignored that. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to keep, I'm actually just going to keep reading. Sorry. He, he debunked those rumors.

He explained that he did, and I think it was years ago. Like, I don't think this was like a recent break. I think it was like years ago he did this, like a long time ago. He was running around his house in socks. He slipped and smacked his chin against the granite corner of a fountain, which is a fountain. I've almost slipped to my car. kitchen before. No, yeah, absolutely. But maybe it was like a counter.

He's a rich. Of course he's a fountain in his home. And then he lost consciousness and when he came to his quote, chin bone was hanging off his face. Oh, gosh. I have no idea. It sounds absolutely awful. It sounds absolutely awful. So,

he said after that happened, he started doing physical therapy with a specialist to keep the muscles of his fat. I cannot speak anymore. I've just lost it completely. You lost your touch. I've lost your touch. The muscles of his face. The muscles of his face and jaw because of the,

they would overcompensate after the break so they would build up. He said his masters just grew. Even when he was like chewing and stuff, it would make the muscles grow. He said they just got really, really big. So. So happened to have to film this earth they think the day after. I don't know.

No, but the thing is is like, I don't know unless he did it and then got removed when you, If you look at the pictures from the men's health, he looks, article, he looks back to normal. He looks like how it was before. Thank God. I know. He said that, he said that even, he said that even his own mom wanted to know if he had gone under the knife. How did he not tell anyone? I don't know, he said, look, he, like does not, he's really not on, like, social media or anything.

Somebody, I'm sure, told him eventually. But his mom knew that he shattered his job. He said the actor was unaware that the, that his massive massengers. caused a viral stir as he kept his distance from social media in the name of self-preservation until his mother brought the conversation to his attention. That's a difference between people who were very active on social media and then people who were famous that are not active on social media. Whereas like, we would have found out about this years ago if he was active.

We'd be like, oh, that's what's, oh, he broke his face. Yeah. Just to act up on casually broke his face and nobody knew. I also. That's wild. Also like, to not be able to not be. like paparazzi or anything like that. It is true.

These people are out here calling the paparazzi on themselves. Because why wouldn't there be pictures of Zach Gaffron walking around? I respect Zach Gaffron for just like not caring. Right, he's Zach Gaffron. He looks really good. Imagine me so famous you don't need to care about social media. But like anyone, for the most part, if everyone's saying this about you and you had like a serious injury, you'd be like, hey. Right.

But he just didn't even care to do that. Right. Like I, whatever. Listen to the beginning of this article. well there they are after Zach Efron removes his jacket and drapes it over the chair beside him my eyes immediately zooped to his biceps peeking out from beneath his t-shirt how objectifying I spot a vein so pertuberant pertuberant protuberant that it looks like it's about to exit his skin I had seen Efron's biceps earlier while on Sephir's photo shoot when I got to the ranch in the hills north of Malibu he was zooming about on an ATV doing wild circles around the photographer and and creating a cloud of dust. The sharp lines of his arms were apparent, even through a dust tornado,

even from a safe distance away. Okay, hornball. It just took, it was all, I mean, look, that's men, this is, they're talking about his body. True, true, true, his men's health. They're talking about his body and the muscles and all those things. Carry on. And here he is, but the, I mean, he does.

I don't really, his veins are protruding. They are. They are. If that's, if that's, if that's, The proper word there. He talked about... He said his body, like the Baywatch body that he had. He was like that is, it was like the worst thing I've ever done. He's ever done.

But I feel like he was like that for a while, like in the neighbor's movies and stuff. Yeah, but I think Baywatch was really the top of it. Yeah. Or he said it was just completely like you could not sustain that lifestyle, I would say. I can't even work out. at all. Yeah. Yeah.

He likes to just live life quietly now, it seems. He's a big nature guy. Well, he does all those shows. He also has a gorophobia, which he really doesn't like to be in big groups. I feel that. He said he just doesn't go out. People in large groups, it triggers my gorophobia.

Yeah. Me and Zach, I've front. A lot more sense than I thought. That's what I've always said. Translation, well, you don't look like that in front. Yeah. Which is why I just said, that's what I've always said. But, you know, he does that show down to earth.

That's the one, the Netflix one where it's like they really... He almost died that one. Travel and they... Well, that I think was a different show. He said, the Baywatch look, I don't think it's really attainable. It almost looks like CGIed. Powerful diuretics. Ugh.

Oh, God. It just sounds pretty miserable. I would say at that point. Yeah. I'm trying to find the part where he does. Okay, so he said that about four years ago in the span of a year and a half, he tore his ACL, dislocated his shoulder, broke his wrist, throughout his back. And he also shattered his jaw. He says, though that was not a training injury.

That slipped and split. And that's what happened. That's awful. Yeah. That sounds miserable. Yeah. That's crazy. muscles in his face work together like a symphony where the muscles just overcompensate and

they just got really, really big. Do you ever almost fall in the shower and you have like a moment of like, oh my gosh. Yes. So many times. Yes. So many times. What if I like if you fall, especially if you live alone like, mm-hmm. Fogg in the shower is yeah. No, no, it's or or any, any time you almost slip and catch yourself, you're like, oh, yeah. That was a close one. Yeah. I did it the other day on the street. like the paint this some of the roads have been redone by the office and the paint for the crosswalk when it rains sometimes they're still slippery and in my i didn't you fall downstairs subway a couple years ago i'm good for i'm good for one good fall a year mine hasn't happened yet this year so that's not good but i'm normally thank you i'm normally good for one like one spill yeah that was a few years ago i literally i slipped

down like 10 steps all the way to the bottom of the subway stairs. I remember in the old office where I threw a football view and I fell under the desk. Almost smashed it. But you were like this close smashing your head until like a glass desk. Yeah. I watched a video recently actually. Yeah. But no and like I think this goes to show how much Zach

Efron really just lives his life quietly. It's like when he does have to do press, it's like yeah, I'll answer it. But that happened a long that happened a long time ago. And he's like yeah, I guess I'll explain. Like a very logical explanation for why it happened. I guess I'll explain. You know, I broke my jaw. Yeah, it's like I said He's just the whole world, like, thought he got plastic surgery,

but he's just like, oh, year plus later. No, yeah, that's not what happened. He just doesn't care. Yep, that's why we like Zach Efron. Yep. You guys know we love talking about all birds. They have great sneakers for walking, running, all those things, but they also have the tree breezer flat,

which is a breathable, super supportive shoe that can keep you comfy from morning to night. They're made of eucalyptus fiber, so they're moisture wicking and odor reducing. They're also so easy to clean. You can put them right in the washing machine, and they'll air dry for the perfect refresh. The tree breezer flats come in a wide range of colors

for every occasion, mood and season. For us, you know, you go with a classic black or blue, and you can wear them all over, you can wear them to work, you can wear them out, you can dress them up, down, and they are so breathable. I think that's one of my favorite things about these shoes is that your foot never feels like constrained.

All right, everyone, we are here with a very special guest. We are joined by Justin Long. He's been on the show before via Zoom,

but now we are lucky enough to have you in person. So thanks for joining us. Yeah, we had a little discussion before this that it's so weird when you finally meet somebody in person that you had been talking with over Zoom and then you see like the 4D version of them. Isn't it strange? I know. We were saying I ran into a guy last night.

I don't know from Instagram and I felt like, well, I haven't seen you in a while. And then I thought, well, I've never seen you, really. I've just seen your videos and stuff. It's so strange. Strange new world. I know. But it is nice that we are, I know like we're not totally past Zoom interviews because unfortunately I think now they're here to stay because people can realize, well, can I

do this on Zoom and not leave my house. No more press tours. We did the press junket for this movie. Yeah. I was in a room in my house. It was so nice. But it's also like you guys, just for example, this is you have, I'm experiencing you in a different way.

And it's so nice. It adds a nice element, which. The energy is there. It's in the room. Totally. I'm reading this book about a guy who had to put down his phone for a while because he felt like he was too attached, which is really inspiring to me because I feel like I'd like to do that.

I think everyone could do that sometimes. Well, people watch this on their phones. Yeah, yeah. Well, once you're done with this show, put your phones down. But he said he witnessed these two, this couple on a first date. It was clearly like the first time they were meeting up and they had met on dating apps, clearly. And he was like eavesdropping on this couple. And these two guys, they were in Provincetown.

So they were two guys. And he said they were just exchanging information. He said it was the weirdest thing. It was just like 10 minutes I'm talking. One of them mentioned that their father had recently died. And the other one didn't like say anything about it. They were just like, well, here's what I've been doing. You know, it was wild.

It was like the way you communicate on, I guess, social media or text or anything like that. Right. Like people aren't listening to what other people have to say. They're just waiting for their turn to talk. Exactly. Exactly. And I can feel you got your presence. Like there's something about being present, which you kind of even lose in Zoom.

Yeah, definitely. For sure. It's just something intangible. Do you have your phone on you? I don't. I don't. I was going to ask you to check your screen time because we did that yesterday. Oh, it would be bad. What would you guess it would be around? Sometimes I see it in it's like four. I mean, in my defense, when I do, I do a podcast and I'll keep it on because I read notes on it. Probably around four hours where it's just to come it's on a lot.

That's, you're on nothing. Our guest yesterday was like 12 hours or more. Oh, God. Yeah. No, I've been trying to put it away. You're on the low end. We're around six. Around six. Five, six, yeah. What do you hope? to get it down to. I mean, how... It would be impossible to get down. It just depends on the week.

Yeah, that's true. It just really depends on the week where you can either have, like, sometimes I'll have one that's way higher and way lower. Also, I'm a bad, I play games on my phone. Oh, oh, oh. So, like, I, like, still play Candy Crush. Candy Crush. So, yeah, I do.

I do. So, unfortunately, that actually really ups my screen time. I love that you still play games. I do. Yeah. No, games are great. It's just, how. But it's a way to keep you on.

And that's what they discovered. I wrote this great article. They were like, the tipping point for social media becoming like kind of a corrupting force was like around the time they invented the like button and the retweet button. Because that's when people got like the dopamine hit from like, oh, I have a little attention. So that's my self-inclusive. I feel it. You know, when you post something that like, oh, people like that. It makes me feel good.

But my girlfriend, we went on a vacation. We said, let's put the phones down. We use it for this. This sounds so winky. this meditation app. So we do it. Once a day, we would use that. But we said otherwise, we're going to put it down.

And the first 24 hours, I was like, I thought this will be no problem. Like I spent how many years without a phone without, and I forgot. I was like Twitchy. And every time I'd look at the phone like longingly, like, I wonder what I'm missing. You know, I had like phomo from afar and like who's trying. Well, you have to make sure that all the notification sounds. Oh, totally. But still.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

woods for me but but after that like by 48 hours i i felt lighter i felt more present we'd be at dinner and like you know if she got up to go to the bathroom normally i i would make a beeline for my phone and like i was just sat there and i took in the world and we were and i watched people again and like as an actor that's it's such a good thing to take any kind of art you know you want to observe people and especially being in new york there's so many great characters to watch and the human zoo, you know. Absolutely. The human zoo is the perfect way to put it.

Yeah, I think someone said that, smarter than me said that. But I, um, I'll take credit. It's okay. Fuck them. Philip Roth. What is it?

On this podcast, you took credit. Okay. It's yours. Yeah. I should think of another great quote, like a Martin Luther King quote.

Yeah. It's now mine. You had a dream. Yeah. Yes, I did have a dream. Not sure who said it. Yeah. I had a weird dream.

But just then said it as well. Yeah. But anyway, yeah. So put you. Yeah. Everyone's got, it's no. Righteously talking about putting thumbs down

As I like promote my movie On Instagram constantly Well let's talk about the movie Barbarian Nice Yes Right Yeah that is the name of the movie

Yeah. Which is really cool. And I've read a review in The Hollywood Reporter, which I shouldn't do because it's funny because it's got like a ridiculously high rotten tomato score. But the way my brain works is it's high. It's good. The last I checked, maybe it's plummeted in the last 20 minutes. But I. But I'm curious about the few that gave it a rotten score.

Right. What is it? 94. Hey. Oh, right. Yeah. Better than don't worry, darling. No, boy.

Yeah, we're not worrying. Darling. Yeah. What is, oh, man, what, uh, what we could get into that one. Yeah. Let's keep talking about your movie in the last. Yeah. No, no, no.

But it's, but it's, I can't wait for you guys to see it because it's like, it really is such a fun one to see. Can you talk about your character? because I feel like, you know, I'm watching these trailers. I'm reading reviews and I can, it's like, oh, you know, Justin Long plays this role. But you're not really fully seen. No, like there's a glimpse of you in the trailer. And I think everyone's like, wait a second, was that Justin Long? Yeah.

No, because it's part of the, I know, it's difficult because I'm also going on these shows to talk about it, but then they're like, don't talk about it. Yeah. So it's a little challenging. Don't give too much away. Right. And because so much of the fun is discovering the, you know, discovering the surprises. Because Zach Craigor, who wrote and directed it, he's from this, I knew him from the sketch comedy, White's Kids, you know, he's really funny guy.

But he also was a real big horror fan, and so he knows how savvy horror audiences have gotten. You kind of know what's happened. Everything's kind of been done, you know, and so he really, like, made sure he subverted the audience's expectations about what was going to happen. So so much of the fun is just watching people be surprised by what's happening. And my character is involved. a lot of those surprises so they don't want to. So it's hard to talk about without spoiling anything. But I can say he is, he's very problematic. If he lived in this world, he would be canceled in a heartbeat. He'd be canceled as soon as he came out of the womb, you know, while the placenta was

still glistening. He would not be allowed to do anything. He's very, he does a really, like, heinous thing and is one of those narcissists who just is not accountable for. Yeah, it was just fun. Very opposite of who you are. Yes, thank you for assuming that. The horror movies are so interesting. I feel like they have to be kind of so unique to film. And it's what do you think like the connection now?

Because we see so many comedy known comedy directors and kind of like getting into the horror genre. What do you think like is the connection between those two things? Well, I think they're like two sides of the same coin. Being afraid and laughing are often, they're often happen in the same breath. You know, when you're watching a horror movie, people diffuse their own tension by laughing. It's like you're immediately reminded that you're not in any immediate danger, that there's not any present fear. And so you laugh at how scared you had gotten. that's how I internalize it anyway

and I was just talking to these guys about the phenomenon of someone tripping some very basic comedic thing if somebody trips a little bit let's say it's like a it could be either really funny or really tragic there's a great line

in this movie Crimes and Misdemeanors Woody Allen movie where sorry you can bleep that part out But there's, unfortunately, he wrote some great lines. And there's a great line where he says, this character played by Alan Aldous says, if it bends, it's funny. If it breaks, it's tragedy.

And they're so close to one another. They live on just so, you have to ride that razor's edge, which Zach does so well. Right. Well, you don't know when to laugh or when to be afraid. I actually just had this happen this weekend. We were playing a game and a drinking game. but it was we were throwing this ball around and we it was kind of tough and one girl was she should have been paying attention

she wasn't and she got drilled in the head and like dropped and we all like everyone was like oh my there was a five second hesitation where it was like are we all going to laugh or is she actually hurt and we have to like ask her if she's okay but she popped up and laughed and then we all laughed so it was in retrospect funny but it could have been not funny Isn't that interesting? You'd have a wild, hopefully, a wildly different reaction depending on how it turned out. But I see that on Instagram a lot of videos that, since I'm always on my phone, when people send me things, you know, I need to know, oftentimes it involves somebody getting, like, falling down or, you see those.

And you want to know, they usually say in the caption, like, this person was fine. Or like, I remember there was that thing years ago that, that anchor, that anchor woman, Serene Branson in L.A., she had like a some sort of, mental lapse. I don't know. It felt like a stroke at the time and she just started speaking gibberish. But she was speaking gibberish in a way that was like kind of a news anchory like entertainment journalist. She's like, I'm at the Emmys and doesn't know him a bit I'm going to say. You know, and it was like until you knew, she then came out and said, I'm okay. Yeah, yeah. So until that news came out, it couldn't really laugh at it. It was too dark. So she kind of made it. gave everyone, like, permission to laugh.

Right. That's a very interesting way to explain, I think, how close they are. And I think it makes a lot of sense. They live in such close proximity, I think, that it, and it comes down to whether it, if you lean too far into the tragic. So if there was a bar we used to go to called Birds in L.A. And there was a bump on the sidewalk outside. And it would be fun to sit out there and just every once in a while. And the best ones were obviously the, like, cool.

You know, it's Franklin Village, so they're, like, cool, silver-like guys. And, like, you know, with the cigarettes rolled up and, like, sunglasses and when it's raining. And, and, like, those guys would trip and they get kind of, like, self-conscious. And sometimes my favorite is when they look back at the bomb, like, it was the street's fault, you know, like, what the fuck? You know, that's the funniest. But then if, obviously. She put that curve there. Yeah, yeah.

You want to go? Yeah. What's up, bro? It's just a sidewalk. But then when there were, you know, like, obviously, if it's like a sweet old lady or somebody with a, you know. you know, a cane or something. It's like, it's heartbreaking. And it's the same setup.

It's the same situation. It's just a different outcome. Yeah. And it's either tragic and sad or, you know. Or funny. There are some laughs in Barbarian or? Once that I didn't expect when we were shooting them. Zach doesn't play anything.

My favorite comedy is not joky comedy. It's not played for jokes. Like, oh man, we were just watching, like, girlfriend and I were watching Big the other day. I didn't see big and so long. And I didn't see it since I was little. Right. And so like a lot of those jokes, a lot of those funny situations were kind of lost on me because I didn't understand sexuality.

Yeah. And like, so much of that depends on. And I didn't, the poignancy was kind of lost when he's like, when he gets busy work. He's like, I'm working. I don't have time for you. You know, and his friend is like, I'm your best friend. And it's like heartbreaking. And so we were marveling at how good Tom Hanks was to embody like a kid like that.

but so much of that was had been lost on me and so much of it is just involved. But they're not jokes. They're just like he's so committed. If you watch that movie, it's like he's just so committed to being a kid, behaving like a kid, that that's funny enough.

He's in these adult situations. So in Barbarian, for example, there's this whole sequence where I'm measuring, I have a tape measure and I'm just measuring this like space that I find beneath the house, beneath this Airbnb. And all of this awful stuff

had just happened in the space and I'm unaware of it, my character. And I remember when we were shooting it and I thought it was kind of nice to do because it was, you know, doing horror movies is so intense that it requires so much. The stakes are so high that like,

it's not like, whoa, it's exhausting. It's so tiring being in a movie. But it is like... The toll it takes on you. Oh, God. Mentally. Mentally. I know.

I know but it can be like I was 43 at the time 44 and so you know I get a little tired and so this was a day where I was like the scene I showed up and I was like oh it's just measuring stuff and so it was kind of fun and I got to do like sort of bits and it was before I know how awful the everything unfolds and so it's like and so I'm doing it but I remember thinking and I don't even I said to Zach the direction but I I remember thinking like why does he need all this footage of me measuring stuff it's like and he's like try this try you measuring this and he's like try this and and like do more bits. And he was really encouraging me. And then when I saw it in the context of the movie and this, the audience knows that they know that something awful is there. Zach was smart enough to really play that out as long as possible. And it gets just me measuring. It gets the craziest laps.

I know this doesn't make any sense. You see it. I'm sorry. But it is so, it was unexpectedly funny to me. It's like one of those things where you're watching and you're like, what is this guy doing? Like you're in the middle of like a horror film and you're just like, what's going Right, but it makes, but once you see it, it like makes sense. And I just didn't maybe read it properly.

Did you like playing a role like this? I have to say, I loved it. Somebody asked me, were like, were you insulted that he offered you that Zach wanted you to play this part? Like I said, he really is a despicable person. And Zach was like, you. It's got it and Justin. Oh, classic Justin Maher. And, but I loved it.

It was, there was something really, I don't know, freeing about getting to play somebody so. despicable. So somebody's so, to explore that because, um, yeah, because it, it, I don't know, it, um, there are parts of you that, um, there's just, there's a, there's a darkness, um, that I think resides in everyone and, and, um, I hope they don't play this back one day and like, well, see, we should have seen this time. Yeah. Like, there's a darkness. There's a darkness. It's just like zooms in. Well, but you know what it is? It's a selfishness that like, I, I try in my life to be considerate of people. to be, you know, really mindful of people.

And so there was something kind of weirdly liberating about, like, not caring about what somebody thinks. Fuck everybody. Kind of, yeah, like. And the thing that he does, this is so cryptic and it's going to be annoying here, but, like, he does an awful thing. Obviously, that thing. That was the thing that was very hard for me to imagine having done. And the shame and the, and the self-loathing that must come with that. But the other stuff is like, he's this, he's an actor.

And depending on who he's around. he like performs a little differently. Like if he's talking to his mom, he's like, what mom? You know, he's entitled. And then if it's around a girl, he's like, yo, what's up? You know, he's kind of like. And if he's, whatever, that was interesting to explore. I watch a lot of the bachelor.

I think we've talked about the bachelor's. Yes. We were going to ask if you've been watching this season. Oh, man. Yes. Well, so those guys are, you know, they perform a lot. They're performing cool guy or romantic, whatever it is. And there's a lot of performers.

this year. I'm curious how you feel about how everything went down. I love Gabby. I'm like such a Gabby fan. I do too. She's so like emotionally intelligent and evolved. I think she's really like an involved person. I think Gabby gets a bad rep because she has been made fun of a lot for the season for all the yeah, yeah. Well, she's a good listener. She is. So people think that it's like she, that's become like the joke, but she's very self-aware. She jokes about it. And then I also think she, she has these lines where you don't sometimes it may not sound like the actual sound of it people are like oh what is she talking about

but but the words she are saying are great like she's like I'm you know when she has these lines where she is like you know I have they have not been reckless with these guys they have been reckless with me like she has these lines where you're like she is she's really evolved and really like emotion yeah like when she said to um Jason who is like I just don't know if I can get that was wild and she's like I like that she went back to him and said I she's kind to all of them

she's very kind but she said you led me on I like that she like called him out because these guys are so aware of being you know their persona and how they're perceived publicly I think a lot of them and and which must be frightening even the way uh what's his face oh god Eric yeah was was like you know went back on camera and said the thing they talked about privately and she's Gabby was savvy enough to to be aware of that see that as such a red flag. I wish she had committed to that, actually. I think Gabby's taking it more seriously in finding the person that's truly

right for her where Rachel, I think, just wants to get engaged. Like, I think Rachel's like, I'll get engaged to whoever, as long as I'm getting engaged at the end of this. Look no further than Tino still being in the running. It's like, what's that guy is? So we were like, well, I would, from day one, I said I think they're going to end up engaged. I still think that's a case although I think it ends. Um,

just from the previews. Really? But then... From day one, you thought that? Day one, I said it. Episode one, she said, I think Rachel and Tino are engaged. Halfway through the season, I was like, I'm so out on Tino. Like, I'm so out on him. His parents, the whole thing. What do you think your prediction of what happens with all the previews? Like, she's like, how come you went back on what you said?

Like, is she engaged? Is she not engaged? I can't figure it out. I can't imagine Tino making it through another week without doing something wild and dark. And like just revealing himself because after that hometown, I thought for sure she was going to be. like Rachel's gonna be like I can't this is too wild they're they just weren't kind

I mean they were really like hostile you know and then when Tino was like yeah but I think I'm the way he said I love you I want to recreate that somehow Rachel he couldn't look at her in the eye yeah yeah it was like twitchy and like I think I'm following

I'm falling in love me I mean it was like and like kissing with the tongue darting out I it's it's too much for me to it's hard for me to watch that I thought for sure she'd be like, you're what? You're in love with me after like, and he wasn't at all being respectful of like what she just went through. Yeah, no. That was my.

My parents will come around. Don't worry. How do you know? She's like, well, how do you? I can't believe she wasn't like, what, how do you know? What is the? Well, it was hilarious that the first line he threw out was my, they adored you. They adored you.

And she was like, no, they did. Right. I know. And he doubled down. He was like, no, they really did adore you. She's like, no, they did. That's how my parents show it. And then he said, well, I love you.

Yeah, he had to. He was like, uh, I love you. It was like, and he said, um, he goes, she was like, they were really hard on me. And he goes, they're really hard on me too. It's like, no shit. Those are your parents. I know. And by the way, they weren't hard enough on you.

Yeah. Right. Like, I think it does show that Vria made that cast at the beginning because I almost think you could go back and say he was playing a perfect game. He did say he hit all his marks. Yes. playing a perfect game, which is why maybe after right at the beginning, we were like, ooh, this guy's good. But perhaps it was because he knew that.

Well, he'd get really entitled about certain things. He didn't like when other guys got attention. And like, I thought she'd see through it. But she also likes being validated. Validation for her goes a long way. Some might say too far. After that experience, you're right. As soon as he said, I love you, it was like, oh, all is forgiven.

Right. We're getting engaged. Yes, great. I think maybe you're right. I think maybe that's what she wants. But I don't, I, now my theory is they got engaged and then he did something bad. Probably. And then they break up. Because they extended. They extended the finale. Oh, they did. That's right. When Jesse kind came in, it was very dramatic. Unfortunately, we can't show you the rest. I know.

It felt like somebody like, it felt like something happened. Like it was a breaking news report. I fall for every year when they're like, this has never happened before on the bat. I'm like, what could it be? And then it's like, it's kind of happened before. Yeah. Yeah, I'm thinking maybe he cheated or something, like, because they can't really see each other, talk to each other. I don't know. I'm just throwing theories out there because something, he did something happen. He did something.

If she ends up with him, something happened where they're no longer together. Yes. Yeah, she said something along the lines of like, I want to know why you did what you did. Yeah. Well, it could be, because they get really insecure about other guys, like they're being with other guys and that happened a lot. I felt so bad for Gabby when that. I kind of wish she hadn't gone back to Eric, because Garrick, Eric, Garrick, I thought it'd already, like,

revealed himself when she kind of, like, busted him. She was like, we talked about this in the privacy of the, like, fantasy suite. Do you think that it was a producer, I like, I like, Eric. I think that was a setup. Right? They were like, you have to go talk about us on camera. I think that was a setup. I think they were, because every home, every fantasy, every fantasy,

there's always, like, now that's, like, the thing. Oh, one of the guys or the girls gets upset about there being other guys. and I feel like they had a private conversation and then producers like, oh, how'd it go? What'd you talk about? And then they're like, ooh, you should maybe bring that up again. Maybe.

So I can see Eric getting a little wild about what she said about Jason. Because she did say like. They need some tension with all Gabby's other guys just leaving. Well, I know. I know. I feel bad for it. But it's also like if then they're not meant to be. I mean, I'm at the point where it's like you either have that or you don't.

Like either a person wants to, he's just not that into you. Like, a guy will show you, you know. Oh my God. Well. Oh, wow. But like that's why. Holy shit. Like that for good.

That's why. Came full circle. All right. That wraps up the interview. Well, I, see, I was a big Nate fan. That's why I like Nate. Because to me, Nate, their react. And I know he did something.

I wasn't not aware of trying to stay off my phone. So I didn't see the chatter about what Nate did. But I thought they had such, it was one of those rare, like, very easy connections. Like, the chemistry was. it's so clear. I think she didn't want to be a mom yet. I know, which is like, yeah, I don't want to, you know, she must have, like, I know, she has issues.

She was very much about it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm now excited for the end of this season. I'll say that. I'm excited to see where they end up. And I, for so long was like, Rachel's definitely engaged. Gabby's not.

My, it has turned for me. I think Gabby ends up with Eric and they're like good. And I think. Really? Yeah. And I think Rachel has this. explosive thing with Tina. Yeah.

What about Zach? Do you think he tells her, that was good for Zach. Yeah. Yeah. That was, what do you think? He was like,

all right, we have to talk. We have a conversation about this. I thought his family was so swift. I mean, how do you go from Zach's family to Tino's family and be like, Zach I can do without, but Tino's, I mean,

that's somebody who's not maybe looking at the right thing. Right. I think she's a nice person. I don't mean to like, but I'm curious who you think is going to be the Bachelor. I think Zach might be getting You think Zach? I think he might be too young.

Oh really? In Rachel's awesome. Oh, okay Rachel. Okay, Rachel. I know. Okay, Rachel. Too young. I think he really, I think he's really convicted.

I think he really wants to get and get him. I think it's. Well, that was the funniest thing. Like, Rachel's like four months older than him. I know. You're a little young for me. You haven't experienced the world enough. Yeah.

Wait three months. Yeah. Literally. It's not even like a full year, which wouldn't be a big difference anyway. No, four months. I know. Well, it was clearly not the reason. It was like a general.

She was looking for anything to... Which is mean. She was looking for a reason to not break up with him. And she was trying to put it on him, which is gaslight. I don't think she's ready. No. I'm not sure a nice guy. He really is. I think he...

I am. 44. I'm finally ready. Let's unpack that. I think he... He should have flipped it on her and be like, are you ready? Yeah. But you can't do that.

I felt so bad from when they filmed the like morning after, you know. It was so awkward. Oh, about the coffee talk. He goes, you can really taste the beans. And she goes, yeah, like you just chomped on them. And he makes a face. He goes, I didn't like that. You would tell.

I thought she was, that was a mean moment. She was trying to, I know that behavior. It's like you're trying to push somebody away. Yeah. Yeah. You're trying to make them the weird. It feels stupid and awkward. And it's awkward to be, it must be, with cameras around.

It must be, I'm so uncomfortable when cameras are around. But it must be weird. I think that's Jason's thing. That was wild that he was like, I just feel like I don't know you. Right. And then. That was wild. I would love to know, like, who held a gun to Jason's head to come on this show?

I know. He's not seen it. Like, it must have been his parents, like, it must have been his mom or, like, sister or somebody because he's like, this show is, he's basically said, this show is really fake. I don't know you. You don't know me. Like, when he started saying all that, he was. He was like, you don't know me, I don't know you. It's like, you can't do that late in the game.

That's somebody who goes on thinking, oh, okay, I'll just pop on. And then they make it too far and they're like, shit. Well, it's also every week when you get the rose, it's like there's got to be a part of him that's like, I knows they don't have that connection, whatever it was that he ended up saying. But like, so then what's compelling you to stay? Is it fame? Is it, I mean, some darker things that play. Like, I want to be on TV longer. I want to keep going on these fun trips.

And it's like at the expense of this person. Gabby has like real feelings at stake. And she's like, you know. You can tell she's a lot more mature than Rachel is. Yes. Yeah. Is there is a group viewing of this show for you? Like you mentioned girlfriend.

I got her into it. She got her. Yeah. I love it. That's great. That's amazing. It depends on how you look at it. Right.

She's probably like, darn it. I did that to you. Oh, she's more militant than I am. We were watching. It was like 7.58. And she was like, I was on the wrong channel Chase a channel

Change the channel Really into it You guys have been a little bit more on Instagram I would say Than maybe at the beginning Is that like a conscious Do you have a discussion like Okay

We've reached the point where we're gonna post Each other on Instagram That's funny no Except for the first one Yeah The first one was like You know I'm gonna put No

And it's the first time in my life That I don't have any Hangups about that And I And I think it's because I just feel much like Zach. You're ready. You're ready. I'm ready, finally.

It only took 44 years. But I think it's more than I just feel so convicted about how I know I feel comfortable and safe. And I know how I feel about her. So I don't feel any sort of squiruliness about, you know, not putting stuff out. That's beautiful. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to nauseate people. Yeah, yeah.

No, no, but we love it. We love it. That's amazing. We're getting the wrap it up. So we all wrap it up. See him in the corner. I missed it. Yeah, it's funny because we have great guests.

And because I have like a direct view so I can see it. But it's like without, you never want to cut somebody off. No, and then. Especially when they're talking about, sorry. I just cut you off. That's ironic. Yeah. No, yeah, you're talking about like how in love you are.

I know. Yeah, you're like, wrap it up. She's the best. I'm so lie. We're going. Oh, no. We're so happy to hear that. But like you said, it's like you,

We want to keep talking to you And then when we're like, all right, that wraps up It's like, wait, do they think that we wanted to wrap up? Because we're being told. We're getting to wrap it. Which is great. We have so much fun talking to you. It's such a great time all the time.

I can do this for hours. Yeah. So, and we could, I feel like you need a Bachelor outlet. Like I feel like you need somebody. We should have you do a recap next season. Yeah. I love that. You just come on and do a recap of the show.
