Episode Date: July 1, 2025

Julie Bowen (Modern Family, Happy Gilmore) joins us this week so share how her upbringing helped shape her into the accessible, compliment averse, ‘girl next door’ that audiences love. Julie was a treat this week - she talks about the casting experience during Modern Family while giving love to each of her casemates for their role in her life. We also talk about the excitement of Happy Gilmore 2, how her sister’s schooling lead to her getting a pacemaker, and the dangers of the playing the ‘game of more.’ Thank you to our sponsors: 🛍️ Shopify: https://shopify.com/inside ❤️ This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Oh, I used to live right up the street. What's your address? Well, I used to, yeah. My address, and I live in Toluca Lake now, but I used to live right on, um. Cut that out, Jason. Cut it out. Sorry. Already editing.

Okay. Do you know what I'm saying? Is that too hot, that tea? No, it's perfect. I'm so happy about it. Yeah, I knew I had to make her tea because she just went, uh, you, you just said before this, I said, save it. but you've been on 20, how many flights?

I was on 28 flights in the last, in the fall. I had 14 round-trip flights to East Coast, and I never got sick, never, not once. And then I just went skiing with my kids, and that did it. Now I got a cold. Are you a skier or snowboarder? I'm a skier.

Are you a good? Are you a black diamond girl? Diamond girl. My cousins and my family are like intensely good skiers. So whenever I'm with them, I feel like a joke, but other people tell me, they're like, oh, you're really good. And I'm like, not compared to my cousins.

My cousins are like smoke shows. Really? Yeah, they just, they're the ones you're like, you pick your line, you pick your line, and you just do it. You just do it. And like I've got one cousin who's a really big guy. And he's the most graceful, gorgeous, fearless skier.

And I've always felt like I'm like the clumsy little boy that, you know, tries, I'm like a 14, like, oh, wait for me. I bet you were a white suit. No. One of those girls, like, dumb and dumber. The hot girls were in the white jumper. No, yeah, the full onesie. First of all.

With the fur. Those are so stupid. First of all, you can't get out of them. You got to go pee, and it's like, you have to get naked. You got to go all the down to the studs. And second of all, no, there's no pockets. My cousins also call me Derleaked, you know, from Zoolander. Oh, yes.

Because my style of dress is, it looks like I just rummaged through some sort of, like, bin of cast-offs. You don't care. No. Have you ever cared? I mean, because you could be glamorous and all these things and people can, you know, put you, you get in the award shows, you're like, but would you rather just kind of jeans in a shirt, just kind of chill? Oh, for sure. Like, I cannot on the daily basis get dressed and give a rat-ass. Look at me. I'm in sweats. I know. Well, sweats are very now. Are they? Yeah. And you're, you're on your way to a procedure. Yeah, that's true. He's like, cut it out. Cut it out. Don't talk

about my procedure. No, no, it's all right. I'm just going to get a procedure right after but it's not a big deal it really colonoscopy no no that would be i wouldn't care so much about that no they have to give me an epidural in my neck i've had some surgeries and stuff but it's old news have any surgeries or anything oh wait don't you have a pacemaker i do have pacemaker that's right i forget about that all the time you have bradyacardia bradycardia bradycardia no i had i had uh sick sinus syndrome um hypervegetonia it means your heart rate just goes really low yeah because i have a low resting heart rate. Yeah. But yours is probably like 30s, isn't it? It wasn't. It was. Now it's set so that it can't go below 45. Do you have to, when did they know this? Was this at birth or was this?

No, I was a runner all throughout high school. And then, you know, I was, I was really competitive runner. And I always had a really low heart rate. And my sister was in med school. So I would guess I was in, I'd just gotten out of college, maybe. And she was in med school and she was at that. time in her life when she, I guess you always carry around a stethoscope. And we were on vacation and she was like, I want to listen to my heart. And she was like, that is not what they've been telling you. And it's not runner's heart or whatever that you need to go to cardiologist. She told you.

She told me and she wouldn't let it go. I was like, I'm fine. She would not let it go. And a month later, it was during the pilot. I shot the pilot of Ed. Right. That's how we know. Yes, Tom Cavana.

I shot the pilot of Ed and immediately. had to go get a pacemaker afterwards. Were you shocked? Were you, did you feel like? Oh, I thought I was like, oh, my God, then my life is over. This is so weird. I'm going to die. I don't know what I thought it was.

I was 29? Wow. And yeah, it was 29 years old. You're lucky you didn't die before that. Yeah. Well, they said it wouldn't probably die of it, but I start passing out. And because there was a vague feeling because you'd be, whenever I was relaxed, really relaxed, I'd be like watching TV or movie or something.

And no, you'd be like, it was like I'd been holding my breath for a while, that feeling of like lightheadedness. And they said, you're going to be driving a car and you're going to pass out and you're going to kill somebody. And I was like, oh, well, they give me the goddamn pacemaker. Was it a, do you still have a scar? No, it's underneath. Underneath it's arm. I had it under my arm. Yeah, it's under my armpit.

Do you have to get it replaced? Yeah, every, when the battery dies. The battery is the whole unit, too. And how long does the battery last? I mean, it lasts a good long time. Like years. Years, yeah. Yeah, I've had it replaced a couple of times.

I don't remember three times, four. But it's, they don't put you to sleep or anything? Probably. Oh, yeah, you're under. Oh, you're under. Why, you're like, tell me more. I was actually the last time I went in, the guy goes, oh, no, this was, this was for my colonoscopy.

Let's just talk about procedures. I love this. I love this. The guy, and you're in those, like, little, you know, there's like a little curtain separating you from the next dude. Yeah. There's like nothing there at, and. The guy next to me, the anesthesiologist comes in.

He's like, hi, my name is Dr. Rick or whatever. I'm going to be an anesthesologist. And this older guy goes, let me just stop you. I'm a recovering addict. I want you to give me the propofal slow. He wanted to be able to enjoy it. I do that. He's like, give it to me slow.

And I was like, give it to me slow. I think the most fascinating thing is that you go like, five, four, boom. and it's over. Let me tell you something. I don't do drugs except for a pot taffy every once in a while. I don't really drink. A pot taffy. Yeah, I have a friend who makes me these pot taffies.

They taste like the best starburst flavor you could possibly get. And you take one and she gives me more potent and less potent one. So if I'm just in for the night hanging out, if I take a more potent, I'm like 45 minutes in it. I'm like, I feel all right. I feel good. But you're not like wasted. It's just like it just gives you a little. I just like a pot taffy.

You've heard of, we've all heard of gummies. Yeah, I call them pot taffies because they're taffies. They're like little wrapped taffies. A little, I'm going to give you one. Do you take taffies? No, I don't take taffies. I'll give them your kids. Yeah, why not?

They're teenagers. They would love that. No, no, no. Mommy brought home pot taffies. But you know what? When I go under and I've been under a lot, I usually say, hey, listen, I don't do much. So can you do it slowly? So when you're laughing at that guy, I'm like, I'm like, that's me.

And I say to you, if you ever have to be put on. or again, let them take it slowly so you could just enjoy it a little bit more. You won't remember it, but it will feel good at the time. I don't, I like that just go, I like to, I like it over. You do. Yeah, I don't know. Well, see, last time I said, I go, hey, you said I could feel this for a while. What's going on?

He goes, did you check your phone? I looked at my phone. I was like four minutes and me going, hey, how are you doing? So I didn't even remember it, but I was toast. You were filming yourself? Yeah, on Propofol or whatever it's called. It's called Propapol, and you were filming yourself. Yes.

Are you serious? Oh, yeah. For like four minutes. Yeah, because he's let me have it so it could last longer. He's like, yeah, you were high as a kite. Jesus, and you didn't remember it. I didn't remember it. That's terrifying.

But I don't think there's, it's not like I have Tourette's or something where I'm going to just start saying dark shit. I don't think. I don't know. I don't think that you have your phone. What if you'd like called your ex and been like? I miss you I'm gonna blow up your house

I don't know whatever like weird subconscious things come flying out of your mouth Oh great See she just ruined it for me I don't like this she let you have a phone in there No it's just yeah I shouldn't have my phone in there No but I'm usually just go oh my guy he goes You were telling us all these jokes and doing impressions and stuff

What? And you had this all recorded on your phone I was like doing Stallone I was like look I tell you why you give me some motor stuff Hey I'm gonna fuck your life Give me some more, you know, and it was just fun. Luchmeier, Lute, Lute, Kameyer. Lutkmaier.

Lutkmaier. Luechmeier. No. Only, I'm blatzlatt mitlaks on a kesa, bitta. That is the one thing I know how to say, which is, that is ordering a salad. I like to have a salad, please.

You ever watch German porn? No. But inadvertently. No, I did go to a German porn store one time, though. I was doing a project in Germany. And it was somebody's birthday. And everybody thought it would be hilarious to get this girl. I don't know, some sort of sex toy or something. I don't know. So we go and. to the shop and the first room, it's like your basic, you know, I'm already cringing. I'm like watching people have sex even on like regular network television or God forbid cable, I cringe. It's so cringy. I can't stand it. So I'm already getting cringy just being in the store. I'm like, all right, all right. Let's get the banana, whatever it is. And then my friend goes in one of my friends has wandered into room number two. And she goes, oh my God. And I said, what?

Let me just clarify it. I'm too old for that now. I, you know, I love two girls in a cup before that. That was good fun back in the day. Oh, we really did it. We got dirty. No, I'm boring. I think I'm really boring. Do you really think you're boring? Yeah. Right away, I sense that's a lie. No, but I'm like not, I'm not like, let's get crazy.

You know what? That's all, everybody, let's just grab a bag and drive into the desert and we're going to pitch a Oh, I don't do that. Yeah, I'm not that person. No, I'm not either, but I might say, let's go to Ohio this weekend. Where are you staying? No, I'm just. No, but I mean, like, do you have a place to stay? Yeah, there's a thing called caravan outpost, caravan outpost, caravan outpost,

caravan, outpost, anyway, it's a place where they have these, like, they have these jet streams. And they're all next to each other, but they're separate, but they're really nice inside. in there and you just get a jet stream and it's like a little plate you have to check it out okay but you had an outpost but you had an air you had an answer like you weren't like oh man we'll figure out when we get there that kind of chaos i can't do that it cannot do you camp i used to yeah yeah i've never really camped i'd like to camp camping i like organized camping like a proper i went on knolls no no it's uh sorry about my snotty nose it's a national outdoor leadership school.

It's like outward bound kind of, but it's less, I feel like outward bound was for kids that were getting, I mean, I don't want to get in trouble. But kids used to be forced to do it, you know, because it's like, and it was a little bit more like about. I saw a documentary on that, I think. No, but it's not like they take

in the middle of the night. Oh, okay. But so Knowles is like, you know, you choose to do it and you hike and you learn you're out in the woods for a month. You do not come back. You're in the mountains. For one month And they're teaching you how to be self-sufficient In the mountains

That's kind of neat And to like read maps And get out of difficult situations But you won't do that I did it I did that I loved that But it's like crazy organized Like you were learning

You're making plans This is what you're doing today This is your schedule And you're learning to go like Okay we're gonna go to that ridge And it's this many miles And that's where we're gonna get water And food and blah

And the idea when people like Let's just man Let's just go camp Let's just like Park on the side of the highway And I'm like no No, it makes me so anxious. I don't like it.

Yeah. I need a plan. I want somewhere safe. Well, safe is good. Safe is good. Everyone knows that everyone gets murdered camping, clearly. Yeah. No.

They don't. I mean, they don't always. They don't. I mean, if you look around my horror posters, do you like horror movies? I do not like horror movies. Oh, man. What is up with this? That's a shame.

I don't think Dracula was really that horrory. I have crossed oceans. Gary Oldman signed that. But yeah, I like harm movies. I think because my mother made me watch horror movies with her when I was like eight. What? Yeah, that's why I'm the way I am. But I like horror and I like documentaries.

I like to, what's your best documentary? What do you got? Jeez, man, there's so many great. You know, the last one I saw was they just made a movie about it with Woody Harrelson. It's last breath. Uh-huh. But let me tell you something. If you haven't seen that movie.

But the free divers? Yeah, I guess that's, no, it's not the free divers. That's another one. That's another doc. This is about these divers that go on to, like, fix stuff at the bottom of the ocean, like pipelines and things. Watch the documentary and don't look at what the description is. You'll be blown away. And it's called Last Breath.

I think it's called Last Breath. The documentary. And then they made the movie. There's no way the movie could be as good as that. I had a friend who used to do that. I don't ever want to do that. I don't like that. No, it's so stressful.

I'll snorkel the hell out of something. Underwater welding. That kind of stuff. stuff. Yes, that's kind of what they do. Yeah, it's bananas. And they have to keep really careful track of how long they've been underwater. And the pressurization, they have to be in some pressurized thing for like 13 days before they go down in these ships.

Quality holds up, and the price still blows me away. Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear nonstop, like Super Soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters, starting at just $60. Yeah, I'm going to get you one of those, I think. Oh, nice. I like to see you in a cashmere. Maybe a different color, so we don't look like twins.

And it's it's still so hard to get a movie meeting and everybody will say, well, just make one. Just have your iPhone out and go, it's a lot easier said than done. But you don't have to wait. You don't have to, like, wait.

You don't have to get the film. You don't have to get short ends from USC. You can make a movie for cheaper, but there's no distribution anymore. And if it is, they don't pay you. Yeah. No, it's hard. Did you, were you, were you popular in high school? You could say if you were, no one's going to be like, oh.

No, no. I was pretty nerdy, but I think I went away to boarding school. I'd say before I went to boarding school in 10th grade. Why did you go to boarding school? My whole family went, just was like normal. And I had, I was, it was, it was totally normal. My parents went, my older sister went, and I didn't have to go, but I would go visit my older sister.

She was at St. Georgia's, the school where I went. And I went and stayed with her. I was like, oh, I'm coming. I just, I loved it right away. You love boarding school. I loved it. And that is, you know, whether I was popular or not, I was very happy there. I really loved it.

Right. And I finally found, like, my people. It was also the first time I went to school with boys, ever. You're more of a, you like hanging out with dudes. Yeah. And that's why Tom, I think, loves you so much. He's like, you could just, you could just hang. I love Tom.

He's like, he told me, he says, you two are going to, it's going to be great because she's, you're just, just, you'll get it when you talk to her. And I already, I already get it. I already get it. You're just someone who can hang. Well, Tom and I share, um, a love and appreciation of his ability to sing and, and dance and entertain, which I do not have. So all this, I let him,

I let him center stage it all the time. And we just had the thing where I'd show up in New York, I was, because I was doing this modern family for 11 years. So we'd go for up fronts every May. And it would always be sort of during playoffs for NBA. And I would just knock on his door and didn't matter, you know, midnight. I'd be like, let's watch the game. And he wouldn't even be like, oh, so you're in town.

Like I was, it was like, come on it. and we would just watch the game and I would leave. I love that. I know. We just, we love basketball and. I wish you'd love hockey. I'm a big hockey show.

Hockey? I played one year of hockey. Hockey. Hockey. It just says hockey. You played one, you played hockey? One year.

Ice hockey. How was it? That's hard. But you got to learn, once you learn how to skate real well, you're okay. Well, but that's,

you know, I knew how to skate, but I knew how to skate like girls know, like, from birthday parties and figure skating. Figuring out how to ice hockey skates an entirely different skill. It is. And it's hard.

People don't give it a lot of credit. Imagine doing any sport, football, baseball, basketball, but you're doing it on skates. I mean, doing it on ice. And you're able to effortlessly turn on a dime, skate backwards as good as forwards, shoot, hit, block, all this. And it's so fast. I love it. It's so fast.

If you've never been to a hockey game, you've got to go to a hockey game to give it a chance. I've been. You know, and you liked it when you went. Oh, yeah. Well, my friend. has season tickets to the Kings, and I've gone with him. And he's great because you think you know what's going on, but he's like, you need somebody there to be like, oh, no, no, no, this is a power play. Yeah. And this is what it is. Because otherwise, you're like, back and forthy, they go, but it's so

fast. Yeah. It's, and the game's even faster now. I mean, it's, it's, do you, do you ever get like, um, you seem like the kind of person that probably doesn't, you're confident, but I'm sure you've gone through, like, where you get nervous for a role. Oh, my God. I get panicked. Do you get anxiety? I just did a play for the first time in my life. Right.

I mean, I did one in college. I've never done a professional play. I always wanted to do a play. That's a challenge then. Right. Also, I'm terrified of standing up in front of people, like, awful stage fright. Wow. Yeah.

So I did it to trying to get over it. And it was a horrible process. Did it work? Yes, it worked, but there was like, there was this in the opening scene, maybe 10, it's like seven minutes in maybe, I have to walk up these stairs and stop and turn around and deliver a line. And my leg would be shaking so hard every time that I had to hold it. And one night, I was like, okay, my leg's not shaking. All right, we're getting somewhere. Yeah, the Xanax must have kicked in.

I was so afraid. I had, a friend of mine said, maybe you should take like a beta blocker, like a Xanax something. And I was like, but what if I'm suddenly there like, blah, blah, blah, blah, I want to be sharp. I'd be terrified, yeah. So you did that. I commend you for doing that. But like, were you somebody that, like, even from modern family, did the nerves go away

after you're doing them so many seasons? I'm never as nervous on film because there's not an audience. It's not an audience. And I just, I feel really, I guess it's just where I spent most of my time. You don't get nervous then. Sure. I get nervous. Always the night before.

starting a new job. Everybody says that. Every guest will say the night before or the first day on set. Night before, even like the night before the season eight of Modern Family. Like, I can't sleep. I get there. I'm like rusty. I don't remember how to say words.

You know, you feel just like a robot. And then you get it. Then you kick it. Yeah. But that was so comfy, cozy. It was like, you know, an old shoe. It was great. Like everybody was so supportive.

Oh, yes. And Ty would always say, oh, my, my actor is rust. Like he just because we were like We didn't know what we were doing for the first day And we all felt that way And immediately we all got back into it Who is it on that show? I mean, I know they're all funny

But if you had to take one person To a funeral to get you through it Oh wow Who would you bring just to Kind of brighten the mood? I mean God, I love them all so much It's almost impossible

who would be dead funny. I mean, it's not like a serious, like a funeral for like a family member. It's just like a... Just a funeral. Just a funeral. You want somebody to lighten it up a little bit. You know, I'd have to say tire, Jesse.

Or Eric. I don't know. They're all like deeply, deeply smart. They're so funny because they're all deeply smart. Who do you call when you're crying? Jesse. Jesse. Jesse.

Jesse, yeah. Jesse's like... So Jesse when you need help with something? Jesse's just like a solid, you know, you can talk through anything with. Yeah. But Eric, who now lives, he's really primarily back in Kansas. And so I don't seem as much, but he used to live really near me here. And he's somebody that, you know, there's no like stop by for a quickie.

Like, you sit down and you talk for hours. He's like a really deep guy. Wow. That's good to have those. I mean, seldom do you, on a set, do you become close with somebody? because you're working with them and you're like, you're close, you're like, you love them and this, but you normally don't hang out afterwards. You do. Well, we do, but, I mean, Ty doesn't live in town anymore. Eric doesn't live in town anymore. Jesse is constantly on the road doing theater. He's doing something in London right now. And Sophia's back and forth between New York and here and God, who else is? Ariel moved away. And I see. but I still see Sarah Nolan.

Nolan's the greatest. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed. Ed is so funny. I think I text more with Ed than probably most people. Oh.

Is he fun? He is fucking delightful is what he is. He is so great. He was in. He's a font of information and wisdom. And to see him take, like, Rico, who was really, I mean, there were 10 or 11, the kids on the show in the first season. And he would just like take him under his wing and be like, you know, never start a scene, you know, and he'd give him all sorts of advice. And over time we realized every bit of advice that he was giving RICO or any of us was all about getting home early.

Here's what you want to do. Here's what you want to do. When the director says, how was that? You say, good, good, good. And you start to walk away. Yes. And never always look at someone and never turn away and then open the refrigerator because then they have to cover you there. Right.

We don't want to do that. And he's like, stay on the line. It goes figure out where the, where the widest shot is and never end up in the background of it. You know, all, always wander off. Exit the,

where's that? But, oh, he got in his car and drove home one day. He thought we were done because they called him back. Yeah, they had to call him back because he was like, because we were, I think it was the,

we were doing a scene and we were doing the rehearsal and he's like, I think we got it. It's just his standard, another good way of like, I think we got it. like positive reinforcement for the director to move on. And he thought we did. And he got it and he's like, went and they were relighting something.

He got his car drove away. Oh, where's that? He went home. He said we're good. He said we're good. He went home. He's the greatest. It's a stupid question, but not really.

I mean, did you ever think, like for instance, when I did the show Smallville, I, after I saw the pilot episode, I go, this is going to be a head. That's the first time I've said it because I was on a lot of crappy shows. did you, when you first saw a modern family, did you say, I think we got a hit here? Oh, I knew when I read the pilot, but I was probably, I was auditioning for it when I was eight months pregnant with twins, and they couldn't legally ask me, how pregnant are you? Which I didn't know. They just kept bringing me into sort of chatting and staring at my stomach and chatting.

And it was big, your stomach? Twins, eight months. That was massive. And they, and I thought, well, they're not hiring me. They're not making me an offer. They're just, and then there was another pilot shooting at the same time that the lead woman was pregnant. And they wanted me to test for that. And I said, well, modern family is the superior pilot, but I'm not going to get that.

They're not offering me this job. Like, they don't seem that interested. They keep bringing me back and just staring at me. So I, they said, well, we want you to test for modern family. And I was like, but it was, I had to put the other pilot in first position because I, you have to pick which one's going to be in first position for your listeners. You're not allowed to just be like, I'm going to audition and let them hire the best. Whoever gives me the best offer. So I had to put, I put the other one in first position because I needed a job.

I wanted modern family, but I was like, I'm never going to get that. They are just staring at me. Oh, man. And thank God that when Modern Family heard that I put the other show in first person, position, they circled back and they kind of backchallenged me and said, no, no, no, we really want you. We just want to know how pregnant. We thought we were having that baby any day. You look pretty pregnant. And I was like, oh, it's twins. I have two more months. And they were like, I said, see, this is why. And they were like, no, no, no. And so I managed to get them in first position.

I got the job. And we shot the whole pilot with me massively pregnant with twins. And they thought, well, well, we'll just reshoot the pilot when it's, you know, later. And we never did. So I'm just hugely pregnant in that pilot. Wow. Like I cannot cross my arms. There seems I'm just like this. My arms are up here.

Yeah. I had two giant babies. By the way, who makes you break the most on set? Tie. Tie. Well, I had most of my scenes. Oh, with Ty. I had so many scenes of tie.

But Ty, when we'd sit on that couch and just do those interviews, like straight to camera, oh, Lord, he could make me break. so hard. He's so dry. Everything's dry. And he's so smart. And he'll be sitting there thinking there, there's this thing, he bites inside of his cheek. And he's like, and I'm like, sitting down, I'm like

waiting for them to set up the camera or whatever. And I said, what are you thinking about? He's like, oh, I was just, just working out my lines. And I was like, and I'm thinking, you have two lines. What are you doing? That, that man is thinking about everything. Everything. And he makes those two lines

sing and he delivers it in a way that you're just like, fuck, I should be working harder. I should be chewing the inside of my mouth and thinking harder instead of just going, I don't know, I guess I'll just say them. Yeah, you're like, I got two lines tomorrow? I'm fine. I just learned him one of my own set. And he's just like, um, um, and then

sure enough, he opens his mouth and you go, oh my God, you just ruined me with two lines. What an experience, 11 seasons. How many shows go 11 seasons? Well, I'll tell you one that one in 11 seasons. married with children, Ed O'Neill. They went, how many seasons? Eleven.

They went 11? So he has two series that went 11? Correct. How rich is he? He's a very rich man and he's very happy. Have you been to his house? Yeah, I've been to one of them. He's got a lot of houses.

Well, no, he doesn't, I don't know if he has a lot of houses, but he has a house that I've been to. But I think he's also got places like on an island or something. Who drives the fanciest car? I saw what you have out there. I have a Hyundai. I'm low-key, man. But I liked it.

Well, I had a Tesla. It's an electric Hyundai. Yeah, it's electric. Yeah, it's all electric. It's great. Yeah, I like it. We were just, we just went up to mammoth and back and had to, like, negotiate, like, charging stations. But I think I've got it now.

There's like a whole system. You've got to have, like, Tesla transformers. Oh, yeah, you have to have the connector. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But once you get it down, it's, it's great. And it's fast. It's fast. It's, it's,

great it's a good ride it's not like wobbly it's good i like it i don't know who had the fancies car none of us were really fancy car people we're all pretty low key you know we i mean we had shared trailers the whole we had two bangers the whole time what do you mean we had we never ever had wait the modern family cast the biggest show always had double bangers which means it's it's it's you're sharing a trailer right it's like they split the trailer and half and there's like a thin wall between the two sides now did anybody ever demand a bigger one no not once i might have i might have i might have asked for that why because i want everybody should have a big trailer so we're at home but you are i mean like i don't know that that show that was such a fun fun thing and we were

it's different it's not like we were shooting it late at night it's not like we would go to crazy locations five days and often when we would go to if it was a local location we didn't bring the trailers And people will come by and be like, are you, why are you sitting on the curb? I'm like, I'm just waiting for the same. I was hanging out because there's, we didn't have a, we didn't have a trailer. I love that. It was very low key. Wow.

And you were like, oh, my God, what was it?

I don't even know what it was. Right. And you're, yeah, because, but he's, he's great. He should, he should direct everything, but he doesn't want to. Yeah. I can't imagine, even when he's really angry that, that you could take it seriously, he's like, what are you doing? What are waiting for?

Come on. It's funny because he does get, you know, he does get pissed. Like, he's a human. Yeah. But the way, yes, you're right. The way he's pissed is hilarious. So everybody's like, what? What are you doing?

But also, I mean, happy, he's like the angriest man alive. That's the whole joke. He's in character. He's in character. He's great. But when you audition, you just auditioned once? Boy, I don't remember. It was 96, 95?

94, 95. I think it came out in 95. I think it was 95. Yeah, I just know that I auditioned and there was like all these super sexy girls in the waiting room, you know, remember, remember when you had to go into the casting office and like actually sit there and it wasn't self-tapes? And so you'd be there and you always run in sort of the same people. You're like, oh, those, yeah, there she is. And there are girls that were always like, I'm like, did they all know, how do they all know how to do their hair and their makeup

and they're wearing like short skirts and like, I don't know, they were all, they were all sexy and like they had it together. Yeah. And, and I was not wearing, I think I was, I was, I was wearing jeans maybe i don't know something very normal and i think the girl that had gone in before me was um was real real uh bomb shelly and i went in after and i was like very nervous because i was like that's they're gonna hire you know hot girl and we ended up just chatting and hanging out and i read and they were like oh they were like they were like relieved they said they were visibly relieved like what do you what's going on they're like yeah some of these girls are just so aggressively sexy.

And I was like, that's a bad thing? Like, I thought you guys liked that. Not. You were just not sexy. You're not so not sexy. You're not exuding any kind of, and we like that. It's just professional.

We just turned into a Seinfeld show. Exactly. You're not sexy. It's great. I don't even, from the waist down, you're like a Barbie. There's nothing there. Oh my God. That's what I'm.

I'm fine with that because back in the 90s like I came up in the 90s and and you probably didn't have this experience because you're a dude but they were you would get into auditions and stuff for commercials or like I started in New York with like you go to indie things you could do anything and they'd be like so and then now we need one without your top wait what yeah they'd be like take your take your shirt off you took your shirt off no oh never but I was just like it was so no one They just belittling. It was accepted that, like, well, you know, there's nudity in this project. And I'm like, that doesn't mean I'm going to be getting new right now. Like, you know, it was. Yeah. Well, we want to see what it looks like before we. No.

No. I was, but I was never that girl. And no. I know that there were a lot of women who had, were, you know, come on, they're trying to pay the rent. There's no, there's no shame. But I was not competing in that world. Well, you know what, though? when I look at you, you know, then it was like, what I remember is my friends and I, dudes,

were like, girl next door, beautiful girl next door, blonde, like, yes. Like that's, and I bet Adam was thinking that too. It's like, I don't want the, you know, the trash, you know, trash you or whatever this. I want somebody's wholesome who's, would you consider yourself pretty wholesome? Wholesome? Or girl next doorish? maybe like boynex or like I'm like I never thought of myself as like I don't know there was always something sort of derogatory about and I'm not that you're being derogatory

but there's like there was always that group of dudes and you were just trying to get to hang out with them and whatever like I said I went to all girls schools from kindergarten until 10th grade my elementary school was technically co-ed but you walk in the front door you'd shake the headmaster's hand girls went to the left

boys went to the right you didn't even eat or have recess together so it was technically co-ed but it was completely single sex so I didn't hang out with boys and I only had sisters so I was really in a very

female world which is fine but it was when I got to start hanging out with guys when I was a teenager, I was like, hey, like, hanging on the guys. Like, they shared the same sense of humor and everything. So whenever they were like, she's hot. And I was like, she is hot. And they're like, whoa, you're such a dude.

And I was like, you can appreciate a girl being hot. Absolutely. I can appreciate a dude being hot. We can appreciate all of it. Hottness is for everyone. I'll look at my friend while a hot dude walks by, I go, would you? And it was like, no, I'm straight. I'm like, I'm just saying if you want.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I think I got that from my parents. who were always very appreciative of like other people's beauty. My dad would be like, gosh, she's a, look at that. She is beautiful. Or my dad, my dad was a, what a blue ribbon stud. What trot him by.

That is a blue ribbon stud. My mom was like, yeah, he's. But when I said girl next door, it means like, classy, you know, I don't know, it's just like, it just feels, it feels like, are you trying to trap me into like saying nice things about myself? Because it's not going to happen. No, I'm not. No, I'm just saying, I'm saying on happy Gilmore. Like when I, I grew up in Indiana. So it was like, you know, I'm accessible, like a normal person. That's what I mean. Yes. Yeah, I'll take it. I'll take it. You're normal. You're, you're beautiful, but normal. I'll go with a normal. Do you not like compliments? No. if you invest too much in the compliments and you have to invest in when you're not getting the compliments like reading the comments you know on like social media

it's like Ty used to call it The Game of More when we first started doing Modern Family and you know the reviews were like insanely good I never read them but they were I understood that they were just glowing

and he said oh I played the game of more and I was like you know when you get to the end of that Google search and it goes more would you like to see more results and you yes i would more until you hit the page where they're not good anymore and so don't play the game of more yeah even to the best things you know i think it's from childhood and stuff and how i grew up and i never heard that stuff so when anybody says you know if everybody anybody ever says oh you know you're a good looking guy i'm like yeah yeah i got a good personality i'm an i'm an eight because i'm a six and looks and a ten in personality i'm a solid

eight. That's always, you're averaging. That's my average score, you know. But like, you know, I never like, you know, when people, it's hard, I don't take compliments. Well, I try to, I go, thank you. Thank you very much. I try to say thank you because I do discover that if you bat them away too much, then it becomes more of a thing. And I just want them to go away. Because if you invest in it, then you're in, what do, what does that mean? Like, yeah, that's really important to me. What is it? It's so important to me how I look. It's nice to hear every once in a while somebody that says you know it doesn't suck if they mean it if you believe them if like it's a close friend who wouldn't tell you that why my friend tom never says

anything nice about me tom cavana no no tom's great no i'm talking about my best friend tom who you know but everyone's so i go who goes hey uh you look good today you look good i'm like good thanks yeah but he would never see never says it so when you hear it you're like kind of like yeah if my kids always look good what am i doing differently i like mom i like your fit and i was like mom i like your fit yeah the peep and the fit i never heard like that i like your fit mom i like your fit and they're like mom and i'm like that's meaningful because most of the time i'm just all like they see me as an ATM with an arm it's also able to drive an uber like where do you want to to go and here is money. That's all they want for me.

What was Bill Shatner like to work with? Oh my God. Wow. I've met him at cons and stuff and, you know, he's always been nice, but like, I mean, the guy's still ticking at like 94. He rode a motorcycle to, so we did Boston legal together for two years and I lived in Studio City and I lived right on the same street that he did. So I didn't know, I took the job having no idea where it shot. And because I knew that Bill Shannner did it. And he was my neighbor. So I was like, it can't be that far.

So I meet everybody in New York at the up fronts. And, and I'm like sitting at a table and Bill goes, did they tell you where we shoot? And I said, no, but it's got, what, New City? Come on. Is it like, is it close? He said, no, it's Manhattan Beach. And I was like, how, what? What?

And how long does it take to get there? Hour and a half. Oh, my gosh. In the morning, it was an hour, because we'd be there five. Oh, yeah. So an hour. So an hour. And, but Bill rode his motorcycle there every day.

And he's probably in the 70s then. Yeah. So he would get there much faster than me and get home much faster. I was pregnant. I'd have to stop and get snacks like three times. It's real. I love snacks, by the way. I'm a snack person.

It's a killer. It's like, you know, I just need to stop it. Yeah, but when you're pregnant, like there's a very efficient parasite in you that says what you're going to eat. Like, I didn't eat. I was a pescatarian for years. And with my first kid, I was pregnant on Boston Legal. And I was on a plane somewhere. And it's just like, what kind of protein do you have?

And they were like, we have chicken. And I said, give it to me. And, like, ate it with both hands. And I was like, it's not you anymore. There's another thing in you that will demand, like, you will get up now and you will make a fried egg sandwich with cheese. And you're like, okay, I will. I believe that.

Wow. And you make it and you eat it and you're half crying. Like, there's, you have the boss is inside of you. It's the same thing when you're stoned. It is because you're sitting there and you're stone and you're like, you're not hungry. You had a good meal and you're like, no. Strawberry Pop-Tarts. But with something weird on it.

With grape jelly. That I've gotten stoned a few times and that's exactly what I didn't like it. Well, I hated that feeling. But if you take a less potent pot taffy, then you're not going to be as high. But you won't be as get the munchies and all that. I don't really, when I do on the low, low dose side, but when you get really high, then once you start eating, you can't stop. That sounds just horrible. I don't like, I hate the feeling of being out of control.

I hate feeling, I don't like being drunk. No, I hate being drunk. I don't drink. Oh, you don't drink at all. I might have a drink here and there, but if you see me with a drink, you're like, hey, look at that guy. You're just like a pot taffy. A pot taffy here and there. That's about it.

Do you worry saying these things on a podcast, like stuff that four years ago, you'd be like, yeah, it's fine. It's legal. But that, like, maybe right now everything could become illegal tomorrow. No, I don't really care about much. The only thing I don't talk about anything, politics, I don't talk politics. No, I'm not saying. But we want to talk about like, oh, if I was on an antidepressant, yeah, I'd say it. If I was, have you ever been on that stuff?

You don't answer it. My email used to be Julie B. Prozac. And my business manager was like, that's not professional. You need to change that. And I was like, but it's, that is me. Julie B. Prozac. Is that true? Yes.

That is amazing. I was on Prozac when it first came out. I mean, I think I was 19. And I'm not kidding you. It was invented. And I, yes, I had a lot of anxiety and a lot of depression. Didn't even really understand it until I got a Prozac and I got it and I will tell anybody this because it was like, oh, I was going down a hallway and it was really dark.

And you can't see really well. And then somebody goes, here, take this pill. And about four to six weeks later. someone's going to turn a light on in that tunnel and you're like oh it's the same fucking tunnel but you can actually see you can actually it worked oh yes for you it worked i always say works for different people yeah it absolutely worked for me it absolutely worked for me and i've been on it ever since yeah i'm on lexapro but it took me a while to find the right thing but like my anxiety i think i since i was a child that was kind of riddled with it and so now i feel like i'm fine

I don't get really freak out about stuff as much No, but it's not like you're It's not like you're high It's not like you're in a different reality It's just like you're in reality reality It's whatever I think normal might be Yeah, right

It's as close to normal as I think I will be I used to think of it as like the You know, the toilet doesn't flush And you just keep going around the bowl And around the bowl and around the bowl And you're like no, normal people It's one flush And then they they don't perseverate

and like think about the same things over and over and over and over again and like stay up all night worrying about it and then wake up in the morning where you go yeah that's a concern I should do something about that yeah move on to the next thing that's good yeah I think all that stuff's good you know people say you know just exercise you don't need to be on any some people are wired differently than you right you couldn't understand what we're going through oh 1,000 but but I do like to I will bang the drum of as a our eyes until the day I die because I think that there's a lot of people like, oh, I don't know, it makes me scared.

And I'm like, don't be scared. Don't be scared. Don't be scared. It could change your life in a good way. It could change your life. It's four to six weeks to, you know. Yeah. And by the way, I went through hell trying to find the right one.

Oh, you did? Yeah. I got more anxiety. Nothing. This didn't work. And then the Lexa Pro hit. And I was like, wait a minute. This isn't bad.

This is normal. Hey. Hey. Hey. I have a lights on in the tunnel. That's right. You're still in a. fucking tunnel.

Yeah. I mean, it's still, but the light is on. Yeah. But you know what it is? Into this tunnel of love. Remember that?

That was Bruce Springsteen, baby. I do. The tunnel of love is a dicey title for him. Into this tunnel of love. I know he meant it as like a theme park thing. It was like a carnival ride, right? I don't know.

Oh, I think that's a little. I just remember the song. Okay. I always remember the videos. I like a lot of cheesy songs. Do you like any new music? Some. I like that song, Messy. And I'm too messy. And I'm too fucking clean.

What is this song? Get a job and wonder. Who is this? Been Lola Young or Lola something. I don't know. That's the only thing I know. Three teenage boys, it's nothing but rap. Yeah, I don't know any new rap. I don't know. I don't know. I can't. You don't really need to. I mean, I like some rap, but I don't like new. I don't know. It's a little rough. But by the way, Shatner, just to close up. I'm sure you saw him kind of like little ornery, little. You know, like, are we done yet? Why aren't we finished?

I mean, yes, but he's also, he was super all pro. He knew his lines. He knew everything. Yeah, he was ready to play. He loves being on a set. He loves it. And he loves and he loves work. And I love anybody that loves work.

I hate people. And when I say Ed O'Neill, Ed O'Neill was always like, how are we getting home? He was still very present. When he's at work, he's at work. Yeah. I loves being there. People that don't like being on set or wine, just go get any other job.

Yeah, don't do it if you don't like it. Because it's the greatest job on earth. Yes. I love the waiting. I love all of it. I love sets. I love them. I love them.

I love sets. Excuse me, ma'am. What did you say? I love sets. No, sets. Sets. Sets. I love sets.

Were you nervous to enter a huge show like that? Oh my God. I was so incredibly nervous. As a matter of fact, yeah, I was shaking in my pants and was very anxious. and I don't think that Noah Wiley will ever work with me again because I imagine I was just a wreck. He didn't like you?

He was perfectly nice. But you were nervous, right? But I had all these scenes with him and I was just like, like, you know, when you leave a job and you know you haven't done your very best job, I hate that feeling.

That's how I felt about ER. I really wanted to do my very best job, but I was so anxious. Were you attracted to No. Wiley? I mean, he was a good-looking guy. Okay. Super Sam, what is your favorite part about being a mom to all-boy?

also, how do you convince them to actually shower because they stink? Sincerely, proud boy, mom. Oh, wow. Wait, was that a plant? I don't know. Because I have a boy's skin care line called J.B. Scrub.

I literally do. Maybe it's a plant. Cool. It is for, it was fair, because one day when you have little kids, boys especially, like literally somewhere around eight years old, they're like, mom, you have to wipe my butt.

And then the next day, they won't need in the bathroom. And you're like, I know for a fact, you don't know what you're doing in there. I know because yesterday you didn't know. And today and for the rest of your life, we're just going to trust you got it. They don't come out with like, you know, a bar of soap that they've used on their hair or they put conditioner on their balls. I don't know what happens. So I used to stand outside the bathroom and go, pits, nuts, butts in that order. And they're like,

what? Pits, nuts, butts. In that order. Why? Why don't ask? Um, so then I, so during the pandemic, we started a skincare like on J.B. Scrub. What's called? J.B. Scrub. J.B. Shrb. J. B. S. B. S. B. C. R. U. B. C. R. U. B. B. B. C. R. U. B. B. B. C. C. R. U. B. Because. Um, um, I know how to spell. I do know how to spell. So that, that's how I convince them to shower. And I love being a, I think I love, I don't have daughter. So I have nothing to compare it to. Thank God. I got no choices. Taylor R. Do you have a favorite season of Modern Family? Season. Yeah. And what's your favorite?

things you know it's got the hood over there so he's under the table and during each take someone would have to lift it up and he could send his line and so between takes they left the dome over his head he's like hey hey and someone lifts it off he goes guys I feel like we're filming a classic episode of television and we're like shut the fuck up wait and like I'll never forget that like he was right that that episode in particular just that hit that hit I have to watch that write that down I want to watch that one that was great Um, this has been an absolute joy.
