Not just to hate myself. I also said, Make America great again. That's your like, I forgot. No, but you're so great my American accent. Okay, that's here. Has it improved? I heard a couple missteps earlier on. Okay, fine.

What is what are you, what are you, what are you trying to promote now? Just go? Ronnie. He's mad at me now. No, I'm not mad. No, I just talk in caps. Yes. I'm not mad. Oh, that's the other thing. His texts are all caps. All all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all all caps. tacks. tacks. tacks. tax. tax. tax. tax. tax. tax. tax. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thanks. thi- th. th. th. th. th. th. that's that. that. that. that. that. that. that. that. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. that. that. that. that. that. thi. th He talked. Oh, that's the other thing. His text are all caps and it's very stressful. Yeah. When you get it, Rosalind, all caps.

Heart palpitations. Heart palpitations. And then also the other thing that happens is once he starts texting, he doesn't stop texting. No, no, it's incessant. For a good 45 minutes. And 45 minutes you. Stop bonding. Stop bonding. For days. Stop bonding. Let's talk about what. What is what? What is it? What is it?

Well, what is it? Three body problem. Yeah, great. It's amazing. Which Ronnie is it? . I love it. I watched you watching the clip and you had a big grin on your face. You love the whole thing. It's fantastic.

Isn't it great? It is so good. I love it so much. I know. There are so many incredible twist and turns. You're at the edge of your seat the entire time when you're watching it. How would you describe the show to someone who hasn't seen it yet, I'm very disappointed in you. And I might ruin it for you, but you're still going to have to watch it.

So it's about, oh Ronnie, I can tell, I can feel you judging me. Okay, you do it. No, no, in my head I'm just thinking, wow, you are such an Asian mom. You're like, you literally told the audience they're disappointed in them but not watching your project. I was like, yeah, this one, please describe the people. All right, but don't judge me. Okay, so it's what happens and you can interrupt if you don't. I'm not going to interrupt. Okay. He will. It's what happens. It's He will. It's what happens. It's what happens. So basically my character makes a decision early in her life that changes the course of humanity. And the decision is made through trauma, extreme trauma. Am I allowed to say what the trauma is?

Or? Well, you're asking me? I'm not the boss of Netflix. Oh, okay. I'm not Ted Sarandos. You can talk about any more. But you took a sip, so I thought that was a judgment. Okay. So, no, I think you can do. Dude, my drinking water accent okay enough? Is this American enough?

Can you drink and say I hate myself? I hate my show. Tell people about the fucking TV show. So three-body problem, if you haven't watched it yet, is about basically what happens when someone makes a decision, stop breathing so heavy. What the... You do breathe very... You're breathing, I can feel you like when I said so... Okay so basically my character makes a decision early in her life that changes the course of humanity and it starts a whole... Stop! It starts a whole sequence of events that

involves people from Oxford, this young group of people from Oxford involves basically bringing an end to life as we know it. Let's put it that. It's a light comedy. I tell you what, it's not sci-fi. I'm so not into sci-fi. And this is really about how people react under extreme circumstances, which we are enduring right now, right? I mean, it does feel that way. It feels like... Stop! Beh behave yourself. Yeah, we have a three-body problem right here. Right here.

No, but I want for you to talk about it, because I love the project. It's based on a book. Yes, I'm sorry. For like eight years now, people have been telling, white people have been telling me to read this book. And when people tell you to read a book, you go, whatever, I'll read it when I'm dead or whatever. And then, last year, because you were, that you were, you were, that you were, you're announcing, you're the project, I'm trying to plug your thi-I........... Yeah, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, the, to read, the book. Yeah, read. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, read. Yeah, read. Yeah, read. Yeah, to read, to read, to read. Yeah, read. Yeah, read, read, to read, to read, read, read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, to read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read. Yeah, read. Yeah, read. Yeah, read. Yeah, read. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I. Yeah. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. Yeah, I. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. to. Yeah, to. Yeah, to. to. to. to. to reading the first book of three. First, first book of three. Okay, keep going.

Correcting my pronounce. I'm trying to plug your stuff right now. Can you stop? And then I read the first of three books. That was good. And I couldn't stop reading it. I finished all three in like a month because it was, like I don't say it's lightly, it's probably one of the best books I've ever read in my life. Yeah, you remembered every detail. And you remember...

I was telling you about it. I was quizzing you about it. Well, because I read the first one. I still haven't finished two and three. Don't admit down on TV. Okay. Okay. But...

You're media rookie. Ronnie remembered every detail of the books and was texting me parallels of each item. But you in all caps. But you forgot some major storyline, a point points and I went back and I said, Ronnie, you need to watch it again. So you watched it twice, right? Yeah, I guess, yeah. And now you get it. Sure. It took you away. Yeah. It is, it's fascinating. And it's a fascinating. It's a little dark. It's a little dark.. It's, it's, it's dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a dark. It's a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. It's a the. It's a the. It's a the. It's a the. It's a the. It's a little. It's a little. It's a little. It's a little. It while. Yeah. It is, it's fascinating and it's a little dark, you know. It does feel like are we potentially getting a glimpse into our extremely dark apocalyptic future. But at the end of the day, underneath and all, it feels like it's really about

humanity and what human beings do in times of crisis. Exactly. See why couldn't you said that? No, but that's exactly true and and there's a love story intertwined, there's a mother-daughter relationship that if I start to talk about it right now I might get a little veclimped. But yes there's there's so much drama, so many surprises in there that if you had watched, you would know about. It deals with a lot of big concepts. Big concept, environment. You know, and people are going to think I'm saying this to be all wokely woke and whatever,

but like, when I read the book, it, most, I didn't realize that all the sci-fi I've watched and read my whole life has come from Westerners. Because I don't even associate sci-fi as a Eastern or Western thing. I just think of sci-fi as sci-fi. But I didn't realize it was all, everything I've ever consumed from sci-fi is from western point of view. Oh, that's interesting. And the western point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point point, to to to to th so, th so, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I was, thi, thi, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I, I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was, I, I, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I'm, I'm, I'm, the the thi, thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. tho. thi. th. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the to save the day. Right. And this was like, oh no one's going to save the day. We're all in this together. Yes. You know and it takes that it's global. So it basically it takes

place around the world. It's not one country or another country against another. We all are joining together to save humanity. Okay, great. So, um... Well, I'm sure you deeply regret coming on, but we are the thing that you did. I so appreciate you the hair. Thank you for having. Oh, Ron. You can see Rosalind in three body problem and sweet tooth. Both are streaming on Netflix. Rosalind. Chow. Everyone. Thank you.

Totally forgettable. We're such huge fans of the show and huge fans of your character. The clip that we saw was from your episode Forks last season,

which you, you, cousin Richie goes on this like epic journey just in the course of this one episode. You have such a beautiful arc. Does, does cousin Richie get to continue down that path of evolution in the next season? What do you allow to say? Um, say whatever the, you know, whatever I want to say. What do I feel what I feel like saying, yeah, exactly, exactly. Um, you, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the, the, the the, the the, the the, the the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the the, th, thi, the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, just, just, just, just, just, just, just, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, to, to, t're, you know, whatever I want to say. What do I feel like saying, yeah, exactly, exactly. You know, I don't know what your personal evolution is like. I mean, I think for Richie, you know, he's become aware that there's a path for him to find purpose and sort of live maybe fuller life, a richer life in a way, but just because he's like aware of that path doesn't mean that he's like cruising up to the top, you know, I think it's like a struggle, forward back, you know, when

he yelled for 46 years, you know, I think it's hard to maybe put the outdoor voice totally like, you know, I think it's like, it's like a... Is that kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind that kind of that kind of that kind of th of th of th of th of th?? the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the th. to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the. the. the. the. the. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. the the totally like to retire it. Totally, you know, I think it's like it's like a. Is that kind of liberating for you though to play a character like that? Do you ever just want to mouth off in real life? Yeah, like I'm, I think of myself as a fairly socialized, polite person. I live in, I live in New York, you know, many millions of other people and you kind of have to, you to to to, you, you to to to to to to, you, you, you to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to their, you, you to to to tho, to to mo, to mo, to mo, to mo, to mo, to mo, to mo, to m out, to m out, to m out, to m m out, to m m m m out, to m m m m out, to to to to to th......... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, to thi, to to to to to to to to to thoooooooooooooooooo, to to to to to to to to to to to thooo, you sort of say what you feel every second of every day.

beloved show. Like at the moment, I feel like America can't agree on anything other than the bear is good. Like, everyone's always like, oh, the bear? Yeah, everyone else is a bad. Great show. And when you, just as an actor, when the script, like, when you read that script, do you see, did it, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, they......... ta... tea.. tea.. tea.. t t the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the just as an actor when the script comes in like when you read that script you see did it pop on the page or were you like I just need some money Yeah like a combination you know actually no It was like one of those rare scripts where I did I read it and like within a few pages especially of this character He just felt so vital and alive like a lot of the time I find myself like having to create a character a lot you know like this the script is kind of open-ended and you you, and you, you, and you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, th you th th th th th like, th like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the the the the the the the the the the the the the th the th like, the th like, th like, th like, th like, thi, thi, the the the thi, the thi, like, like, the time I find myself like having to create a character a lot,

you know, like the script is kind of open-ended and you sort of have to figure things out and build and create a lot. And this one he just felt really fully formed and I just had a strong connection. I also felt like I had new people like this. I've run into folks like thi. And some rich rich rich, some rich, some, some, some, some, some, some, thian, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, I, thi, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th., th. th. thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th, th, th, th, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, to, to, to, to. to. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, the, that, that, richy kind of characters throughout my life and did because the director is also the writer yeah of this and so how much of that came off on the page when you're

because it's a very distinct visual style the pacing a lot of this in the edit you know and it's it's so fast-paced is anxiety driven honestly when you watch it sometimes it's like worse than watching the news when you watch there the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they I I I I was I was I was I was I was I was I'm is is is is is is is soa theyaugh is is is Ia they Ia they Ia they I was I was I'm the the the the the than watching the news. When you're watching, you're watching, you're so on it. There's one episode, I don't think there was any cuts in it. Or at least your shot, so there was no cuts, you know, it's trying to mimic a restaurant at its worse, like anxiety-driven energy. So did that come off on the page when you were reading it? I don't understand your question. I don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't the the question. I don't don't don't even know if that was a question. I'm asking when you read words, do you know what the words mean?

That's really right. That's it. We mean, we don't have to memorize. We just read whatever they put in the prompter. So it's very... Yeah, that's true. I thought, you know what, okay. The level of anxiety, I didn't find that when I read this script, because I love what I read.

I read the first two scripts, through the audition process, and before, you know, and it was, I just thought it was really funny and very sort of tender in a way, this story about this kind of found family, a bunch of freaks in a way, like, or they, misfits or whatever were supposed to say that like they that like found this home you know and only when I watched like the first episode many months later and it was so like frenetic and crazy and super cutting and choppy it reminded me a lot of like like skate videos from the 90s it was like so kind of while and I especially in the first episode where they're cutting like like like like they're cutting like like their the game like, like, like, like, like, like the like like th like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like a lot of like, like skate videos from the 90s. It was like so kind of wild. And especially in the first episode where they're cutting like video games into it and it was like super loud. I was like, oh wow that is not in any way what I envisioned the thing to be like so. And I wasn't sure how

I felt about it. I was like, I called my wife in and friends. I was like, is this viable? Like, are we going to go back? Because this was just a pilot. I was like, what do you think? We're going to make that season? And they were into it, but it took me a little while to marry the thing I saw with the thing I read. Wow, interesting. You, there's so, there's such good chemistry between chemistry. We do trust falls in the back? Is it natural for you all to fall into a rhythm? Or did you have to really work and rehearse to get there? Um, we did work.

I think we did have like innate chemistry. I think that this is one of like the strengths of the show is that Chris and our other show owner, Joanna and our great casting director, Jeannie, they put together a company. And I mean, I don't know, everyone weirdly does really love each other and get along. And obviously, through shared experience and time together, that kind of like, that's how friendship grows.

Is that instructive for you guys?

Two people, two people. We have a very important question for you and I hate to get political, but Deep Dish or New York pizza? Careful now. I don't know. I've met a lot of Chicagoans who would say that deep dishes trash. They think, I don't know, they got a tavern style thing over there, which is thinner, which

I like. There's also Detroit style, a lot, there's a lot of these Detroit style. In Chicago, there's a lot of Detroit, I kind of have, I like that more. I've had some good deep dish. That's a very politically safe. Yeah, that was some that was that was nothing that was some flip-flop bullshit. Yeah. We buy it. We buy it. We buy it. You're about to start a Marvel movie. Yeah.

Fantastic. The thing. Yeah. What kind of, what kind of training do you get to do? Yeah. Yeah, I'm playing Ben Grimm, who becomes the thing, who's a man encased in rock.

Yeah, exactly. And yeah, you spray fit him orange. My guy's kind of orange too. I should maybe take this trip out there. He knew. Yeah. What am I doing? I don't know. I've been reading a lot of comics. It's kind of nice. Just, you know.

You know, I did, so I did a marble thing for Netflix years ago called the Punisher. You were great in it. Thank you. But when I was on a summer trip with my family in Croatia when I got like the when they asked me to do it.

And so I got a call at two in the morning from this like Beverly Hills number and it was the head of Netflix Marvel. And it was like two in the morning and my wife and my daughters were sleeping in the same room. And he was like, Eben, I'm going to tell you three words that are going to change your life. Welcome to Marvel. And I was like, oh, thanks so much, man. That's great. And it was, he was so disappointed in me. It was so like, now you can scream.
