It was clean, it was tidy, it was beautiful, it was private, great big kitchen, right next to a forest, what's not to like? David? You checked that box saying I'd like to be near a forest.

That's a good thing. A lot of people like Airbnb because you can do that. You can say, hey, I want a place with a pickleball court, you know, and they can find you. You can say, hey, I want a place with a pickleball court, you know, and they can find you. You can be in town, you can be in the suburbs, you can be in the country. I mean, you can have a pool, you can not have a pool.

I mean, the benefits of Airbnb are just the flexibility of it and the locations and privacy. Compared to hotels. Listen, hotels are fine and that's great, but sometimes I think if you get into an Airbnb and you see the convenience and all the things, you don't have to walk by people in the hallway and nod, get on the elevator and talk about the weather.

So you realize that it might really be more tailored for you and it turns into the perfect accommodation. Whether you're with family, friends, whatever, you're on your own. Uh, you know, consider Airbnb for your next adventure. I don't think you'll regret the switch. Dana, our guest today is Miss Lauren Lapkus, who is a good friend of mine. Who you know from the Wrong Missy movie that we talk about on the show.

Who she was a tour de force. Very fun to be watching her in that and be a part of that movie. I remember reading it and saying, if this Missy is funny, we are there because it's already written funny. She added so much to it. And she was, she's a real sweet sweetheart and very quick on her feet and I'm glad you got to finally meet her. She's yeah she's incredibly likeable and she put the tour in Dev Force. I mean that movie David can't say but we talked about it was a smash it got to over a billion minutes globally and we do talk about that. And she just walked out onto the stage of Netflix and crushed it. Yeah, of course you were her trusty sidekick.

Yes, trusty sidekick slash date that went wrong. Dating gone wrong movies are funny. Dating is funny already. It's just a funny area to talk about when you're in comedy. And if you can put a movie together, just the wrong text, you're texting the wrong person, that turned into a funny premise, which they got a whole movie out of it. And she's also, she has a podcast which we talk about where they watch movies

and they watch movies they've never seen. Like I personally have never seen The Lion King. But old movies like Star Wars, like basic movies, Godfather, they watch it. They give their first glance. First, what do you call it? Blink. Blink. Yeah, blink.

Because that's from the book by Malcolm Gladwell called Blink. And it's like, trust your blink. If you're in an alley in the middle of the night in New York City and someone's walking toward you, what is your blink? And if're in an alley in the middle of the night in New York City and someone's walking toward you, what is your blink? And if it is to run, run. You know, it's the subconscious molecules in your brain pan tell you things that you don't normally receive.

In your bed pan? I, it just sounded good to say brain pan. Brain pan, that sounds good. Is that a real thing? That's an ex-figure of speech, yeah. Your brain is essentially in a skull pan. You could sizzle it up. I don't want to go there.

But anyway, Lauren Lapkus is someone you want to go with right now. I've just entered this dynamic. So like, did you guys know each other before? Wrong Missy. Just a little bit? No, we met in Hawaii, right? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So then you do this movie, Global Smash. That's what I say, Global Smash. Well, you know, wasn't it, it was like a billion minutes. You know how we keep it in the repeat box. It was a billion minutes, yeah. I like saying Global Smash very casually. Did this thing, Global Smash.

I did this thing, people watched it for a billion minutes. They never turned it off. One person. Because it was a big, funny, silly comedy and you know, they don't make them like that as much as they do. They really don't. That's a cigar.

They don't, that's the problem. It's this metaphor of a cigar. But I find that in the in the kind of like war zone, it's like the army, not literally savior letters, but how bonded you get when there's, it's your 18th hour on the set. I mean, so you guys have a thing that you share. And so I'm just wondering what it's like to reconnect now

for the first time since the premiere for Wrong Missing. It means so much to me. It means everything. It's so fun, I love seeing you. I'm sorry, I was such a fan of David forever and so I literally auditioned for the movie because your name was listed as being in the movie. I mean, not that I wouldn't audition,

but I was like, I have to audition for that. And so I was so excited when I got to work with you. Well, when they do this, was it, it wasn't quite COVID yet, right? It came out during COVID. It came out literally the first like month of COVID or something insane. Well, you, so what do you do? You self tape or you go in those days? No, I went in, that was nice.

I mean, that's the thing. I miss that so much because we don't ever go in anymore, but I went in and auditioned for Tyler who directed it and a room full of people that I didn't know, Grady was there I think. Oh, okay, good. Yeah, so and I saw a bunch of people I knew there, which is always the fun part of going in these things. And now we don't do that anymore and we just do it

in a black hole in our house and send it out and nobody watches it. That's very weird, your baby does the off camera? Yeah. Yeah. No, but you know, when we were doing Wrong Misty when it came up, so I read it and I was like, okay, well, I think Adam was like, this is really funny,

but I think you're more the straight man. Do you like, I said, I wanna do that. I wanna try that because it's kind of fun to be that. I always say like, Stiller and meet the parents or you know, when there's crazy shit going on, someone just react. Because if you can get a laugh off her, then a reaction, then back to her,

like you can get double. And of course everyone's nervous because I'm like, this is all riding on Missy. And I saw some stuff, some tapes, and then there was some names talked about like, and Adam was really about like, let's get someone that's not just a total household name, no offense to Lauren, but you know,

just someone that's not like, oh, it's for sure, Isla Fisher, because that's kind of that type of character. Yes, yeah. Who's great, of course. Yeah. But then there was someone from Ireland I saw, Lauren, did I tell you that? No, I don't think so.

There was someone from Ireland that had a thick accent. That would be good, honestly. Adam sent it to me and he goes, this one's pretty funny. And it was, and I was like, so wow, really from Ireland, like people are getting their tapes in and at least something's working. Adam got it and was laughing at it. And then they were like, oh, nope,

somebody just came in and did great. And it was you and then we went out to Hawaii. And the funny thing, the first thing I noticed, I mean, you have to see the wrong missy to really get this. So everyone has to watch it real quick if they didn't. But the first day I knew Lauren was great because we had that,

I think it was our actual first date in the movie. Yeah. We had the wrestler. Yeah. What is it? Oh, Roman Reigns, who's turned out to be such a sweetheart. Yeah, he's so nice. And he was at the bar and then I come in

and then you're being an asshole to everyone. Why I even like you is the funniest part of the whole movie. It's so true, like nothing good happens between us. The red flag store went out of business within the first two minutes of the movie. You're yelling, you're like just talking to me, you're like, hey, sorry, quit eye fucking me. She's like screaming to someone across the room.

And I'm like, hey, hey, hey, don't yell at me. And then it's like charming to me. Yeah, what is your character? Yeah, you're like broken. It was so funny. You're playing yourself basically. I'm myself, she's herself. And then I try to sneak off into the bathroom

and climb out the window. And then I think that was the first night because I fall out of the window and break my ankle or like, and then I'm laying in a puddle. And when we're shooting it, I'm like, God damn, I forgot, I don't really like doing movies. It's so fucking hard. So I'm lying, I'm doing a night shoot on the first day.

And then everyone's above me. You know, you're laying on the ground. You're like, don't step on my head or something. Cause no one's paying attention to me. I'm like, guys, first team. I'll blow you. You are so funny though, when you're, when you're upset,

which is maybe a problem. That is a thing we've discovered. Well, I'm in a puddle Dana and I'm like shaking. And she, and they're like, hey. Did they put a blanket on you? You're shaking the camera. No, it was like freezing cold. I'm like, why is it cold?

I'm in fucking Hawaii. No one told me. And you have like a stunt foot on that was like fake so I could snap it. Oh yeah. But there was something weird about that too. Like it was like a touch to your leg or something. Oh right, you had to take my fake legs, stuck up my jeans and my wang.

And then she's like breaking it. I'm in a puddle, I'm freezing. And they're like, you're shaking on camera. I'm like, I can't not, I'm a person. And I'm freezing. I'm a person. I'm a person. I'm a person. Were you number one on the call sheet initially

and then they moved Lauren's name up to number one? No, it was Lauren and then quite friend. They did that in post. There, it's retroactively. She was number one, I got to the set that day and I go, hey, can I call a quick meeting? And then suddenly you hear a typewriter, ch ch ch, white out.

Ch ch ch ch ch. You could do better typewriter white out. You could do better typewriter sound effect than that. He's the king. But you all want from old Hollywood that at a given point, I think some old Hollywood guys said to me, you got to see this girl. It's like that. She's like Jim Carrey about a baby or she's fucking great see this girl. It's like that. She's like, Jim Carrey had a baby. She's fucking great, this girl.

That's so nice. Yeah, it's like Jim Carrey had a baby just alone. Sits up with no one else. Oh, righty then. Had a baby with just some weird person. But yeah, so from that first day when I think, you know, Lauren, I'll speak for her for the rest of the podcast, but she, if I'm right, Tyler, the director would come in and say, like, Tyler, the director, that's his rap directing name.

And he'd go, Hey, I just want the audience to know that it is the director. And he'd go, hey, Lauren, maybe on this one, a little drunker or something. And then she'd do it and I'd be sitting there going, fuck, she's good. And then he'd go, maybe a little sexier. And then maybe a little, and then just take after take.

Plus we're doing wide, medium, close up, over the shoulder. So she's gotta do like a thousand takes. I'm like, fuck, she's gonna burn out. This is tough. Cause she's ad- do like a thousand takes. I'm like, fuck, she's going to burn out. This is tough because she's ad-libbing her ass off. We have a funny script she's doing. And then once you get that okay to do whatever. That's the best. She was really bringing it though.

I'm just letting me talk because it's compliments. That's nice. Thank you. And so you probably won't say that. Thank you. I love it. No, I'm like, thank you so much. That was so nice. No, I mean, it was pretty phenomenal. I just wonder from your point of view, and you've done a lot of stuff, but obviously you're in a big Adam Sandler produced show,

Happy Madison, you got David Spade and the whole, whole thing. But from your point of view, when you started being directed by Tyler, the director, Tyler, the creator, Tyler, Spindel Tyler, I know I met him, I think, in DC. Incredibly humble guy. So you're probably, when are you feeling really comfortable? Like, okay, I'm really, I'm getting to do stuff. Are you, when are you feeling good? Like, you know you're landing.

You're not getting fired. Are you seeing, are you going back to the monitor and checking yourself? No, I don't think so, but I think on the first day, I felt good because I, because the character is so big and I have to like go, I, you have to commit so hard. Once I was like yelling in the restaurant, like you were talking about, like, I feel like that I felt good because it's like, you have to just

feel like I have, I was still nervous that day, but like the feeling of. I have to just fully commit takes over. And then, so I feel like it made me feel confident because also Tyler is so open to, you know, adding your own humor and stuff, which was great. And it's getting laughs. Well, it was great. Yeah, and getting laughs is amazing, of course.

That feels so good. And then you feel like, okay, it's working. People think like- But when she gets a big laugh, I go, no more of that. He pinches me really hard under the table. Under the table and I go, hey, come on, hey, come on. There she gets a big laugh, Dane. And then I go, maybe I could say that on this take. And she's like, I'm sorry, what?

Well, that was me, walkie talking with Dex during the production. All I'd hear was like, I don't know, man. Oh yeah, that's me. I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I got, no, but I remember about halfway through because Lauren was doing this every day and we were having a good time and like dopey Johnny Farley is there and Swartzen is there. Jackie Sandler. It's totally fun. So it's definitely fun. It's hard to be in Hawaii, but I was finding ways to complain. Shockingly. Why is it hard to be in Hawaii? Well, I'm saying it's sarcastically, we're in Hawaii,

we're doing a movie, every dream situation. Yeah. But then toward like the middle, actually toward about two-thirds way through, I was looking at what we had left and I'm like, I think this might be funny because you're doing it out of order. But I go, we still have this threesome scene, we still have this, we still have her like falling off the cliff. I go, I think we are in pretty good shape, but you just never know.

No, it's so scary making something and then you just have no idea how it'll turn out. I mean, I'm so happy it's funny.

Oh my God. They said, can you stop by? Well, because by the end I felt pretty beat up. Like, I mean, because it was a lot of physical stuff and I like waterboarding myself in the hot tub or whatever. And like, that was a hard day. Remember when you couldn't sink in the tub? No, I couldn't sink.

I couldn't stay down. And then I was like gonna cry. I walked in and she's supposed to be floating under the water, which is impossible to do, we found out. And she's coming up with that shit on her face for Hellstar. I couldn't do it.

Every time I walk in, like, Lauren, we can see your nose. Lauren, you're not totally submerged. Oh my God. She's like, well, I'm dying. I know, and I really hate being underwater, which I didn't tell anyone. I just was like, I'm fine.

Like, I don't want to tell anyone because it makes me feel more pressure if people are aware that I don't like, you know what I mean? Like, it's just like the whole thing. Like, I'll just do, I'll just suffer,, I'm fine. Like I don't want to tell anyone because it makes me feel more pressure. If people are aware that I don't like, you know what I mean? Like it's just like the whole thing. Like I'll just do, I'll just suffer, you know, quietly. But then I was like texting you like, I'm crying. But it was hard.

But then yeah, at the end, then I had to get in the ocean and the ocean almost drowned me. Like I had to like be knocked over by the waves. It was getting dangerous. I was being swept down and there were two guys who would like catch me on either side to make sure I didn't like fly off into the distance.

But, and I had like four stunt doubles who were amazing by the way. Remember when I walked back, I walked to the set my one half day I wasn't working and I go, let's go to Sandy beach and watch her get pummeled by waves. And then they go, I get there, I go, you know, I used to go when I was in Hawaii,

this is like a shore break dangerous beach and there's signs everywhere going, do not walk any further. And they're like, let's get Lauren in. I'm like. They literally is like a shore break, dangerous beach and there's signs everywhere going, do not walk any further. And they're like, let's get Lauren in. I'm like- They literally had like cones all over the beach that were like from the city. It wasn't like our cones.

And then I see a stunt man, a stunt woman walking up going, I'm out. And they're like, what do you mean I'm out? Or like get somebody else. They did have to tap out. I mean, because it was, they were doing it like a million times and you know, the pen ticket. But yeah, no, but it was totally fine. At the mean, because they were doing it like a million times and you know, they couldn't take it.

But yeah, no, but it was totally fine. At the end, what you were talking about though, is that like, so I'm like, I'm done, finally, yes. And then like, oh, you just have one more day. Just some like quick little special effect thing. And then I get there and they put me- On the way to the airport. Yeah, yeah, they put me in like a circle

and I'm holding on with like, I'm'm holding on to all sides like I'm like I don't know what the fuck and then they started spinning it and they were just getting like they wanted to get my face when I'm flying off the cliff and going around in circles and so they were spinning me in circles head over feet so I would like make crazy faces and I was going to barf I mean it was crazy and I was so grumpy because I was just like I had I was going to barf. I mean, it was crazy. And I was so grumpy because I was just like, I had, I was like celebrating being done and then I had to get in this thing and get sick. Can you buzz by and just do like five seconds of you falling off the cliff and hitting the wall and you're like, sure. And then it's like three and a half hours later.

Yeah. Yeah. I remember going, Oh my God. Cause I would try to stick up for Lauren. Cause I knew she wasn't going to say anything. And I'd be like, I think maybe we're pushing her too hard. But you know, listen, when all the dust settles. It was all worth it.

It was all worth it. And then I didn't get to do anything because of the pandemic. So, you know, I was happy it happened. I didn't even fucking celebrate. I lit a... I know. A flare in my house.

I lit a tea light. Did it open to a million minutes and build from there? You know, Dana. Or was it, how did it, or did it slowly get to the billion minutes? It's a billion minutes. I think it was pretty fast to the billion. Well, they go, well, you know, you can tell

because Scott Stuber, who was running the studio, called, because he called me on Father of the Year. And it's, you know, when the guys, the high ups call, they don't call you with bad news. They call and go, hey, Wrong Missy's already number one. And I was like, oh, the year and it's, you know, when the guys, the high ups call, they don't call you with bad news. They call and go, hey, Wrong Missy is already number one. And I was like, oh, because they just started putting one through 10 at the bottom. Oh yeah.

So with Father of the Year, I didn't know. And he just goes, it's doing great. I go, it is? Is it started? And they go, yeah, it started this week. I go, oh, okay. It started. Because of Netflix, I didn't know.

You know, there's no real, just for whatever reason. And then with Wrong Missy and then Ted called and said, it looks like it'll be number one in the world by tomorrow. I'm like, what? And then I get people sending me a photo on DMs like number one in Italy, like from their TVs. And I'm like, holy shit. Really?

It's so cool. It's so cool. It was the best. Yeah, that was fun. It was the best. So you didn't have to do a press tour because of COVID and so forth and so on? Yeah, I did some stuff on Zoom,

but I feel like my internet was like 1% working and I'd be like, I don't know that like anything actually like televised. Spade, wrong, spade. What, you hate spade? Cliff. Yeah. How many minutes did you do in Thailand? I mean, what was the total minutes? What? You hate Spade? Cliff. Mm-mm. Yeah.

How many minutes did you do in Thailand? I mean, what was the total minutes? Yeah, I don't even know what minutes are good, to be honest. I don't know what's good. I saw some chart. You were top spot. It was special. It was a special moment. All time or something. Right. It was so cool.

It was something that minute-wise, we're all appreciate the minutes. We're all just looking for our next me and David Spade movie now. Yeah. Well, if it wasn't, okay, two questions. One, if it was a sequel to The Wrong Missy, what would be a pithy title rather than just Wrong Missy 2, like The Wronger Missy?

Or if they put you two, I'm just thinking out loud because I used to be a studio executive. We put you to, we put these two beauts, these two cutie pies in another film. They play different characters. Yeah, I think we should reverse roles. I mean, you just do Missy and then that's it. I think one of the-

The wrong mister. One of the ideas was we get married and then you've calmed down. And in the first was we get married and then you've calmed down. And in the first scene we're having sex and we, and we realized that you're- Don't whisper we're having sex. It's your twin sister who came, it came in, so now

you're normal, but you're playing your sister since the same movie again. But I like that idea. But it's crazy, But she's crazier. And then you put, she puts a hex on me and then I spin out and go act like you. And then that gets crazier shit. And then we should have like,

we have like four quadruplets who are all like me and they're all crazy. That's it, a twin, the wrong missy's. And it's two. And one is very cool and one is even crazier. All right. Let's do it. Or I cheat and it's two. And one is very cool, and one is even crazier. All right. Or I cheat and it's the wrong mistress. And then she's crazy.

But it was me and I had a mask on. Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's so many ways to go about it. Or you work at a Vegas hotel in the summertime and you have a mister and you go around for high rollers. Mist them by the pool. Words that start with M-I-S. I feel like that's 20.

It has to be familiar, yeah. I feel, you know, cause you give me a pitch and then I can tell my head how many million minutes it is. That'll be good. That one's like a million minutes, yeah. Yeah, I see instead of box office, you gotta think minutes.

Yeah, it's great stuff. Okay, you know. All right, that was our wrong missy chunk. You know, Lauren does a show. Lauren. Hi. Hi. Newcomers. I do. We thought this was interesting. If I was not doing this podcast, I'd want to do a podcast like that. Yeah, it's so fun. So it's me and Nicole Byer, who's a comedian, who's hilarious, and she hosts Nailed It, if you've ever seen that cake disaster show. And we watch movies we've ever seen that cake disaster show. And we watch movies we've never seen that are very popular. So we did, we started with Star Wars

because we had never seen any of it and we've now seen all of it. And then we did Lord of the Rings. Wait, you've seen all of one Star Wars or all of all of? All of the things that can possibly be. No. Yeah. It's a lot. No. Yeah.

Every movie, every Star Wars movie? Every movie, I think we did something like 20 episodes or something. There was a lot. Jeez, oh, Pee-zle. Yeah. I know, I couldn't believe all the things, but now I get every reference to Star Wars,

so it's really nice. Because doing improv forever, guys just love to reference that shit. They love that. You just go along with it for years and then now I understand. Okay, let me give you a pop quiz. Oh God, oh God.

What Star Wars was this from? Yeah. Chewie, get us out of here. Sorry. I think that's my first one. I can't too. Chewie, get us out of here. Chewie, get us out of here.

Yeah, that sounds like the first one. I think it's the first one. Where's this one from, ready? I love you. I know. First one. Oh, first one. Yeah, that sounds like the first one. Where's this one from? Ready? I love you. I know. First one. Oh, first one. What about where Chewie gets rabies?

What about the one where, the holiday special, where Chewie's dad is like jerking off to like a movie or something? I don't know if that's a real Star Wars. I don't know if I've seen that one. Lauren. It's real. Chewie jerks off?

There's like a grandpa Chewy and he's like watching something like titillating and he's like, rrr, like it's real. Rrr, that's what I do. Jeez. First comes Chewy, then comes jerking off. Landed on me, no. The force not happy, yes.

Yes. Yeah, he always adds the yes or no at the end. It's very funny how they wrote Yoda. Force is strong, no. I know. Everyone did Yoda for a while. Classic Yoda. Yeah, well we just- Do you do a Yoda, Lauren?

I've never tried it. I think it's like- Clear. Go ahead. What does he talk like? Is no try only do. Oh yeah. Is no try only do.

Is no try. You know what? We did just watch, we did a whole sports season and we just watched Rocky and I understood for the first time why everyone did Sylvester Stallone impression. I always knew his voice was fun, but I wanted to do it all the time. After watching that.

Let's hear it. It's so fun. Hey, Gio! Not even anything like it. After all the whole movie. I can do it, I can like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm him. I'm like, she got it, man. She's coming. Okay, I've got an under impression, ready? This is Rocky II. Pauly's in jail. Shh. And he walks in, silence, and he goes,

Pauly? That's it. Pauly. He says it really under, because I think he was so, everyone's doing impressions of him, so he goes, I can play it under. So now he's like, I actually don't talk like that anymore.

Yeah. Holy. You know, I ain't, I ain't. It's the worst wind up. I don't know why I didn't put the turtle in there. Well, you bring that, you bring that turtle in here. I don't know what it is. Is it a turtle?

I don't know. He had two turtles named Cuff and Link. Pupkis. Cuff and Link. He kept them for years and years. I think they just died like the other day. Like they actually were like 35 or 40. I saw them at Comic-Con.

Cuffin Link or like, they were 50 when they did the movie. They were signing shit at Comic-Con. They go to 150. You can buy a tortoise that might've known Abraham Lincoln right now, today on eBay. Owned by Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, I'm Abraham Lincoln. I got me this here turtle.

Did you guys do The Godfather? That's a big dude movie. Did we do that? No, I've seen that. Oh yeah. I actually watched that, yeah. We did all of Scorsese movies for a season, which I had never seen like anything.

Wow. And that was good. That was fun. Which one rocked your world of The Scorsese's the most? Good Fellas is the best movie. We loved it. What do you think it should be? I was thinking of Serpico, Dogged Afternoon.

Are those all? I haven't seen those. What am I like some kind of clown to amuse you? Just that scene alone could go forever. Yeah, Nicole wants to marry Joe Pesci right now. Oh, she loved him all of that. She loves him so much from all the movies. She's like, I want to marry him now.

I don't care. But yeah. They were allowed to ad lib as long as you said fuck. Is that true? I don't know. It seems like it. It feels like it. He's in the middle.

Is that, is that, no, that's Casino. We're in the desert and Joe's like, where do you get off getting on fucking TV? You're on fucking TV every day. And he goes, you got to keep things quiet. You go, me, you're on TV. You fucking. And they're just screaming at each other. Yeah, that would have fun thing to do

just to see all these movies. I mean, De Niro's underplayed neurotic guy is so funny. And good. It's very satisfying because it's all stuff that like is just so much in pop culture that I've just missed because I watch reality TV every day. And so to be like, oh, I'm watching. And then it always feels really good

when you're watching a good movie and you're like, oh, it's so nice to watch like a good movie. I guess I'm like, I just watched so much Bachelor and stuff. And I'm like, oh, there's a story here. Like, it's so calming. You watch 90 day. Yeah. I do, I was really into 90 day for a while.

I had to pull back. I only have so much time, you know, but they have so many spin-offs. What's the one that you watch that you hated? Any movies you hate most of them? Oh. We need a trender. Oh yeah, no, we, yeah, you wanna put something on Instagram.

We don't like everything, but we try to see the good in things because people get defensive. We love them so much. Yeah. That's true. So even, you know, the Irishman, which I knew was like a million hours long, I actually liked it.

It was just really long. But, you know, so we try to find things to say that are positive. Well, everyone's good in it. So you go with Scorsese and it can't be horrible. Of course, it's great acting. So, you know, and I think the funny thing with that was like the de-aging that they did. Like all that CGI, where then like Robert De Niro or Joe Pesci was like calling Robert De Niro kid

for like half the movie. I do that on my Instagram. You know, when you look at that, you just... LAUGHS Would any of you ever, like under nervous circumstances, get in the front seat of like an Oldsmobile with a guy behind you, you know, get in the front seat. I'll sit in the back.

Oh, yeah. Get in the front seat so I can kill you. It's always a wire around the neck. The wire's not the way to go. Are they surprised when the wire is coming over their head, going back to their neck? I didn't see it coming. Is it Goodfellas where they take Pesci into a room?

No, they take him out and bury him in a... Oh my God, that's the saddest part when he walks in there and he doesn't realize it's happening. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And then there's like a sound like, oh, or something. And then he gets shot and you're like, oh, so sad. Nicole Krause. Okay.

Have you, just cause you were talking about getting in the front seat, have you seen those Waymo cars that are with no drivers? Have you talked about this? No, but I'm scared of them. I've seen- It's so creepy. Would you get in one? I know people who've gotten in San Francisco and they're very nervous for the first few

blocks and then you get kind of used to it, but I'm not in a hurry to get into one. I know, it seems weird, but then sometimes I think it's safer than like a random guy on Uber. I'm like, well, this is nobody. It's harder to get raped. I saw one where they say, here's a carless car, whatever it is, driverless car, and it goes up and people-

Carless car? People in the back and then they floor it and it floors itself and hits a car in front of them. I'm like- Oh my God. Oh, I don't want to hear about the glitches. Like- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not supposed to do that. Why you know shit? Yeah. It will all be driverless cars very soon. Probably. 10 years. Oh. Yeah.

Good Lord. Lauren's not gonna like that. Lucy, I'm gonna ask you, have you seen Three Days at the Condor with Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway? No, what is that? Put it on your list. All right, we gotta do a whole Faye Dunaway. No, what is that? Put it on your list. All right, we gotta do a whole Faye Dunaway season now.

Probably. Do a Robert Redford season, cause he's a stud. Yeah. If you take Redford, you could go from Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid, The Way We Were with Streisand, Three Days of the Condor, Max Van Cito was also in that, Sidney Pollock directing,

All the President's Men is also surprisingly great. And, you know, well, just start with those. I think you said about 10 movies that I should do. So I'll just start. Well, have you seen Alien? I have seen Alien, yes. Okay. That's a good one.

I just saw Alien Romulus. And I liked it the first time when it was called Alien. I have seen alien, yes. Okay. That's a good one. I just saw alien Romulus, and I liked it the first time when it was called alien. It's the exact same. They go up, some people come back, and they go, we're gonna go on this planet, we gotta grab some stuff, and I'm like, there's gonna be aliens on it. They go, they're all gone, don't even worry about it.

They get there, and there's the eggs. I'm like, this is exact, exact, exact, but way more cringy when she gives birth to the alien and it's half human and half-animal. Did you see it? No, I don't see it. Don't see it. It's 10 feet tall and then it's going back over the mother.

Was it trying to have sex with it? No, are you talking about Romulus? That's disgusting. Yes, that's not like the first alien. I think I tapped out by then. Too much gooey eggs and mutations. That's sick. Lauren, I have a real question.

All right. What is The Haunting and tell me about it right now. Haunting is a podcast that I host where I play a dead influencer. Of course you do. Right? podcast that I host where I play a dead influencer. Of course you do. Of course. Right. Um, named Teresa, who is trapped in between heaven and hell because she

hasn't gotten verified. So she is trying to get verified. And so on each episode you hear about my life as a dead influencer and my current struggles, and then you hear real stories from people calling in with ghost stories. So it's like, my part is scripted and then the other part is unscripted and it's real ghost stories that are very chilling.

Oh, ghost stories are good. Dana has one, but yeah. Do you have one? Tell me a ghost story. Tell me a ghost story. This is pretty quick. San Ysidro Ranch with my wife. Tell me a ghost story. This was pretty quick. San Ysidro ranch with my wife. Never had had any encounters.

So I just feel like I awaken and I have this weight on me, nightmare like a horse on me. I didn't think horse. I didn't know that was relatable. And it was just holding me down. My wife's asleep and it felt not good, but I got up and I thought, okay, that's a waking dream state.

Okay, didn't happen. Use the restroom, come back, feel like I'm as awake as I am now, get back in bed and then it comes back. And I'm totally, this is not, in my mind, this is real. And then it's like pounding on me, it's like springing on me and finally lets me go. And then I just turned to my wife, five-star hotel,

middle of the night, we gotta go. And she said, okay. Oh, I love that. She's so supportive of you. Pretty good wife. Do you ever think about that after that? It's so scary. God dang. No.

I've had another one where in the house, God, why is everyone still sleeping? There was a boombox in another room and it sounded like, and I didn't know about white noise, but it sounded like it was between channels and it was really loud, like, like, I go, why, God, no one hears this. I hate this so much. So I get up, I go, why, God, no one hears this.

So I get up, I go into the room and then it stops. No, I hate this. That's scary. So those are my two, but I'm not as nervous about it. I did actually have, I saw an aberration in my room in the hotel at New York recently. You're having a lot of these. This is like you have like a bunch.

These are my greatest hits. Yeah. This is span. This is over his 90 years. Well, can I ask you if you had any sightings or anything? Well, we have one story of my family that's kind of crazy that we, when I was a kid, we got a voice, or an answering machine message on the answering machine, you press play.

And it was a collect call. And it said, you have a collect call from Grandpa Joe. It literally was Grandpa Joe, which is my great-grandpa who had passed. And you could hear a bar behind, he owned a bar. So you could hear like glasses and like things like it was a bar. And my mom and my aunt, I remember this so clearly, I was like eight or something and they were like screaming and like, like, oh my God, like freaking out. It was the craziest thing. I mean, I don't

know, but it was. Was it ever explained? It was never explained. And maybe it was someone in my family pranking, but we have, we know, we have like, when you say something's not, you know, if you're not lying, we say, we say seti troi, which means I'm not lying 100%. I swear to God. And so it's like, no one ever said it was a prank. So I don't know. Well, it's called the haunting. We have to let Lauren go now, which I like to talk to her forever. I know.
