Samara Weaving

If you've been here, have you been here since before I put these lights on?

Yeah, since Anderson.

And that was a kid.

I really like these scary stories.

And I went home and I found them and I thought it might be a fun thing to like, I don't

know.

I'll keep them here.

Maybe we'll read one of them.

Hey, I'm going to come out and show us the way.

I have a friend here, McCone, who's going to be operating a camera.

I don't want to start on you.

I know he can be scary being a woman.

So McCone, bye.

Good, how are you?

Good, how are you?

I'm really good.

I like how I'm concerned, you are everyone's comfort.

Well, I, I, uh, you're pregnant, uh, we were real that.

Yeah.

Oh, I just thought you looked horrible.

You know, Lamon Morris.

Of course.

I have a statue of him, actually.

Oh, that's amazing.

This is Lamon and his daughter and that's what his lips are really red.

Yeah.

Lips to come.

Yeah.

Whoever made this.

I think at the child.

Yeah.

That's me.

Is that you?

What were you bringing up Lamon for?

He really burned me.

What do you mean?

I put a photo of me and my other friend looking pretty good and he just went y'all

fat.

Oh, really got me.

I don't think.

You're going to be here.

I also, uh, just for the record, I want to say that I don't believe that any women are

fat.

Wait, wait, can we keep it on the blanket?

Oh, yeah.

And I have a low CD.

Is this correct?

That's perfect.

Do you want the, do you try this or that?

Now I know what to try this means, but I think what Cohn doesn't.

So just from what Cohn, would you explain what that means?

This actually isn't the brightest.

But try this is like, you know, the little bullshit stuff in the car.

Oh, me and I play it.

No.

Could I have you get to where you think you're going to be most comfortable so I can focus

you?

Oh, yeah.

I don't know what looks flattering these days.

Do you know what I mean?

Well, you know what we could do.

Like what is?

We could just do this.

Do I just do this?

That's the belly.

And then we could animate the baby inside.

Could you?

Like, is this good or do I look crazy?

Um.

Because I did press with Jason and I thought I looked good.

And then I watched it back and I looked like a make a wish kid.

Uh, I think that you're a little out of touch with what real people look like.

Um, because that's not what a make a wish kid looks like.

No, you should say I'm like, this little, uh, it's not good.

It's not good.

Okay.

Well, I think you look like a fucking stunning movie star who's about to give birth.

Great.

And I forgot I wanted to pitch this to you beforehand, but I have really been wanting

to do an episode while somebody is giving birth.

Do you want to come to the hospital?

Do you know when are you going to do so?

Do you know how you're going to do this?

No, but my mom's quite witchy and she reckons she's going to cut it

a girl.

She'll come.

Your mom guessed that.

No, we found that out.

But mom reckons she's going to be early.

Well, if you give me a round late March, early April, um, not sure if you're joking,

but just in case you're not McCone, can we?

It'll be you, my sister, my mom, Jimmy.

And the next one is McCone.

Don't you think sometimes front-on, you're like, is she pregnant or did she just have a big lunch?

But then side on McCone gets it.

Yeah.

You're like, no, no, she's pregnant.

Um, I don't, I mean, it's in the nicest possible way.

Front-on, you look pregnant.

Okay.

Yes.

Do you know what size she is today?

Uh, pineapple.

Oh.

Isn't that cool?

Is that how it works?

Do you, people, they, by size, they go, uh, what fruit it might be?

Yeah, but my ultra-sound tech really doesn't like that.

She's French and she's like, no, no, you are having a human baby.

Your baby is not a vegetable.

Well, um, in France, pineapples are vegetables, apparently.

That's right.

I forgot about it.

Oh, how rude of me.

What's up?

I left this to trade us so far away from you.

No, that's fine.

It's good.

You know, man, move this over here to get a trailer.

Yeah.

Don't know at all.

It feels incorrect.

You know?

Okay.

Also, I forgot, whenever we have somebody pregnant on, we give them a little bit of a

sheriff's badge for you.

Oh.

Water?

No, that's fine.

I know.

It gets good for the baby, not?

I don't know.

Are you okay with that, really?

I guess.

No, I'm scared.

Isn't dog saliva not good or something?

Uh, I think, I don't know, the only story I know is the superhero dog man who was born

from a mother who drank from a cup of water.

That would be really good.

Like what superpowers does this dog have?

It's just, it's a, it's made in this culture, it's a dog's, okay.

How many?

Is this a, this is a boy dog?

Yeah.

How old is the boy?

Two and a half.

Oh.

Fresh.

Yeah.

Quite a new dog.

Say it again?

Quite a new dog.

Say it backwards.

Oh, you know, they, oh, should I lean back, you know, lean everywhere you want to

lean.

We're going to get started in about 20 minutes.

I can, I'll be back.

That's quite comfy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That was quick, Rick.

That's what they call you.

Yeah.

You know what?

We should have thought about this beforehand.

We switched this out real quick.

You know what?

We should have thought about this beforehand.

We switched this out real quick.

Previous guests in the pod.

No way.

All right.

Ready or not?

Let's get started.

Theme music.

Scoot.

Oh, blebberty blue, scooping.

Oh yeah.

He's using so much time.

Could you push the microphone a little further away from you?

Perfect.

I was thinking good joke.

Oh, you want it?

Could you talk into it?

Do you want it like this?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Would you like it like this?

Yeah, actually, at least for a clip.

Should I do ASMR?

Pregnant ASMR.

I can't hear you.

Say it again.

Hello.

Yeah, it's better.

Okay.

Quite a new dog.

Well, before I get started on the podcast, let me first say nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

We have been online friends since February 2024.

Is that right?

I don't know.

But I remember I saw that you followed me while I was working on something that was around

that time.

Yeah.

Yes.

I don't know how we like, I won't say smushed, how like our lives crossed.

I feel like we have many friends in common.

Well, I don't know how you crossed into my life, but me and to yours was from ready or not.

Oh, really?

Hell yeah.

So good.

Do you like it?

Loved it.

Watch it again.

I had seen it already, but then I was sent at number two.

So I watched both of them last night.

Watch the second one.

Yeah.

What do you think?

I was telling the con.

They're awesome.

Have you not seen it yet?

No, I have, but I'm nervous because it's the sequel and so many sequels are shit.

And we want this one to be good.

It's.

They're awesome.

Elijah.

Elijah's hat.

Would.

Yeah.

His hat.

I don't know what how you talking to the very end, the, the dragon thing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I have that dragon kind of.

I had it.

My parents house on the wall, but it was a candle holder.

It looks just like that.

Oh, really?

Yeah, but I don't want to bore you with that.

I think this one's a goat.

Oh.

Thanks for coming over.

Thanks for having me.

Anything else you want to plug?

You've three movies coming.

I have three things coming that I should be plugging.

I have one with Jason Segal, Timothy Orphan, Juliet Lewis.

Come on.

What a cast.

Called over your dead body and the trailer came out today.

Oh, I didn't know what I would have, I would have loved to have done my research.

That's okay.

It looked literally minutes.

It's a comedy, right?

It's a comp.

Yeah.

Horror comedy.

It's a little, it's a little horror action comedy.

H-E-C.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Heck.

He's one of the, he's one of these to me.

Sorry.

I know.

We've got to bring him on here.

He's doing a movie right now, but we should get him here.

Forgetting ceremonial.

He was, like, if he told me when I was younger that I would be doing a movie with him,

I would have.

Oh, thanks, Rick.

I'm 33.

I thought we were the same age.

It's my birthday on Monday.

Is it really?

Yeah.

I'm 29 today.

No.

Yeah.

Is it your birthday?

No, not, I'm just today.

I'm 29.

Oh.

Gotcha.

Actually, I was going to bring you Tim Tams, but then I forgot.

Tim Tams is an Australian chocolate.

And I know this because friend of the pod and ex-girlfriend in that order, no, no, she's

lovely.

Okay.

Is Australia?

And she told me about Tim Tams.

Who is it?

Yeah.

I don't know if you know her.

Betty.

Betty.

She's not in the business.

Oh.

Bethany.

Betty.

Betty.

I know that you guys have mutual friends.

Really?

Because I told her that you were coming on last night and she said we have mutual friends.

Who?

Did she?

You did not have any followers.

I was listening.

I was just getting her tips.

She was breastfeeding and the baby pulled down her shirt, actually.

Wait, she has a baby?

Is it yours?

No.

Oh, sorry.

It's okay.

Sorry for laughing.

It's okay.

We have to laugh at babies at R and R.

Yeah, that's true.

That's true.

What kind of world are we trying to save?

That's true.

Watch as they go to hell.

As he graces through the open blanks.

Sorry.

Do you think it's possible that anyone else in the world is doing this very same thing?

That's very similar.

I hope so.

Otherwise what the hell are we trying to say?

Are you a friend of Armageddon?

Never seen it.

I'll watch it.

I'm sorry.

Do you know what I watched for the first time last night?

You could either tell me or give me a hint, but it has to be one of the two.

It was super hyped up at the time.

Godfather, too.

I had an idea.

Godfather, three.

Go ahead.

It's super hyped up at the time.

Super hyped up at the time.

Two sexy ladies in it.

Did it come out?

Give me a 10-year 20 to 20 time.

Like 10 years ago.

Two sexy ladies.

I'm guessing it's a comedy.

No.

Ocean's eight.

I'll let you guys watch two with sexy.

I don't know.

More hints?

Mako and you could play.

The director did another movie that like his first film kind of started a revolutionary

with indie movies.

Blair Witch Project.

No.

His first movie was about math.

Was the guy who's the bad guy named Khan in Star Trek in it, pen and a cover batch?

Pen and a cover batch is not in it.

And I don't want to see it.

Yeah.

By the way, same.

You like him?

I do.

You haven't worked the other, have you?

No.

My uncle has, though.

Oh, is he his PD nutrition?

Yeah.

He's a worse guy, sir.

But so confident.

No, my uncle's a famous actor.

He's in your favorite movie of all time.

You love Lord of the Ring scene.

Wait a minute.

Yeah, man.

Who is?

You're going to lose, you're going to lose.

Uncle?

Yeah.

Your tits are going to be blown off.

Oh, I didn't even know his name.

Yeah.

You go from the Matrix.

Yeah.

Every time I see him, I think this guy's in two of the best trilogies.

Yeah, man.

Your uncle is Hugo.

That's probably how you got in the business.

Yeah.

No, actually, no, I was, that was a lie.

I didn't really know he was an actor until I was like.

Is he related to you?

He's my uncle.

You didn't know he was an actor until when?

The Matrix?

I think I was like 14 or 15.

And I found in my dad's DVD library, Priscilla Cleaner

The Desert.

Have you seen that?

No.

No.

Oh, dude.

You should watch it.

It's like an Aussie classic.

I'll watch that.

You watch Armageddon.

Okay.

And then we'll do a part two.

You still haven't guessed my movie that I watched yesterday.

Okay.

What other hints can I give you?

I'm going to see if Chachy could do it.

Two sexy ladies.

Two sexy ladies.

I'm going to give you a couple of hints about a movie, period.

There's two sexy ladies in it, period.

It came out within the last 15 years, period.

The director of it kind of paved the way for indie movies.

Yeah.

Period.

Okay.

I'm asking my dad.

Oh, there's a...

Okay.

You brought up?

Oceans.

There's an actor from Oceans, also in this movie.

You never going to guess it.

Oh, the bling ring.

Oh, the bling ring.

Oh, the bling ring.

Oh, the bling ring.

The bling ring.

The bling ring.

No.

The master.

Uh-huh.

One of the actors from Thelma and Louise is in it.

No, no, no, no.

One of the actors from Oceans is in it.

And the guy who dances in the lights, you know, the guy that's like in Oceans where

he's like, does that hectic laser dance?

A lot of Catherine Zeta Jones.

A bit of French dude.

Oh, I know what you're talking about.

He's in it.

He's in it.

He gets real weird with Miss Natalie Portman.

I haven't seen it.

Oh, yeah.

What are we talking about?

That's...

I watched Black Swan for the first time last night.

Have you seen the bloopers?

No.

They're so funny.

Really?

Swipe to the bloopers.

Do you know Natalie Portman?

I love Natalie Portman.

Do you know her personally?

No.

I was going to ask if you could text her and ask her to do some bloopers of that movie so

we could put it in here.

Never mind.

I wish.

I don't know many famous people.

You know Lamoran?

I know Lamoran.

Actually, I know a few.

Ready or not is so good.

Thanks.

And I have some questions that maybe I'll ask...

I mean, I guess I could ask now.

Yeah.

I don't know if this is on podcast questions.

But I do have one particular question.

Uh-huh.

The end of one, no spoiler, and the beginning of two overlap.

Originally, I assumed that they just used extended footage from the first one that they

never used at the end of one, but you redid it.

Yeah.

I realized that.

Yeah.

Um, first of all, was that complicated?

Yeah.

Because it was...

It had to be...

I assumed that your director's wanted it to be like exactly and it looked like it.

Exactly.

Can you imagine the makeup nightmare it was to match that blood?

I thought about that so many...

I have so many questions...

That's maybe boring.

I have so many questions about that.

Took them allas.

Was it just that part or other parts, too?

Because there were other scenes where there was some makeup stuff that had to go into other

scenes and I was just wondering, do you maybe, do they maybe like do those in the same

day, linearly?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or there was like a slight time cut so you could get away with it being a little bit different.

But at the very end...

Spoiler alert.

Spoiler alert.

Go ahead.

I'll try not to spoil it.

And what we'll do is we'll put a little red bar underneath.

So you could fast forward or mute it and once we're in bars up it'll be when it's done.

That's what I was wondering.

At the pit when it all happened and then...

Yeah.

And then you guys would...

Yes.

That seemed to me energy wise.

It seemed like a different day.

Yeah.

It was a different day.

Make-up matched.

Nightmare make-up match.

But Colin, he was the make-up artist, he's a genius.

Spoiler bar done.

So in the beginning when you sit down and then the camera follows you going like this.

Yeah.

Was that a hand off to a rig or was it on a rig the whole time?

No, it was a rig that was attached to me on a big...

Yeah.

Yeah, rig.

Have you done something like that before?

Not like that.

That was pretty cool.

When you do that kind of stuff, as not only the actor but the lead actor, I think it's

a difference because I've only been the lead in one thing before.

What is it?

Oh, it was just this Amazon show I did called as we see it.

And I felt a different sense of like how far does my collaboration become a nuisance versus

like questions?

I have questions.

I asked so many questions on set.

Uh-huh.

When you're doing that and setting that rig, are you just trusting and saying, do what

you need to do?

Or do you ask stuff?

No.

I think with technical stuff I leave it up to people that know more than me.

Do you know what it's going to look like?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we had the shot from the first movie up so that I could match, because my head out

to be in the same position, um, but in terms of the technical side of things, matching

that shot and what Tyler wanted to do with the...

Is that a cinematographer?

He's one of the directors, Tyler Gillette and Matt open.

Yeah.

I saw that too.

Will you also bring this down?

Yeah.

It is right.

Yeah.

Um, in my face, I...

Why him?

It was one more in charge of...

Yeah, Tyler does the like, camera side and work through cameras more and Matt works

with the actors.

So Tyler's also the DP?

No.

Then there's a DP called Brett, who's a legend.

Shout out to Brett, who's Instagram here.

The movies are awesome.

Yeah.

The movies are fucking awesome.

Thanks.

Also, in an effort to not gush too much at least not yet, I think you're absolutely incredible.

Aww.

You're so the intensity and the calmness and the eyes and stuff.

It's just like...

It's wild.

I also didn't see the second one before I saw it.

And I thought to myself while I was watching the first one again, I thought they're going

to put you in the dress again.

I just feel like that's...

I have to.

No.

I thought that.

I don't know why.

I don't know if you have to.

I just thought that's such a big...

I mean, there was such a meal of it in a nice way, but like when you ripped in the shoes

and stuff, and then I went, aha, I like out loud and not a spoiler.

But when you put the dress back on, I thought you just need some validation to do it.

Yeah.

And you just wanted to be able to fight again.

That was a whole combo too.

Of how do we realistically get...

Let her back in the dress.

Could you...

Were you...

How behind the scenes were you with that?

And were you...

This is a little nerdy stuff, but like I want to know about that because I was anticipating

and I...

You really even thought, will they do it?

How will they do it?

Yeah.

And then they did it.

And you...

It also did it really quick.

I don't think it mattered.

I think just find a validation and move on.

That's it.

Could you tell me any of the behind the scenes of pros and cons thoughts?

Yeah.

There was so many...

We didn't want to make it until the script was where we all felt like this is...

Just as good or better than the first one, you know.

Otherwise, what's the point of making a subpar version?

So the script was like worked on a lot.

And with that particular logic with the dress, how do we put her back in the dress?

There was one version where she just didn't wear it at all and she's just in a hospital

gown the whole time.

Or there's like sweats or she wears her sister's clothes that maybe she packed an overnight

bag.

But we all wanted the visual of her and back in that dress.

And the moment, as a viewer, you want to like have that moment of her putting it back

on like some sort of armor.

And I can't remember who might have even been brought, came up with the idea that it's

still in a bag and it's all she can have access to.

You said you wanted to be to a place where you were ready for it.

When was the second script shown the first time?

Because it was six years in between?

Yeah.

A long time in between.

I mean, there was no plan to make a second one until I think like four or five years

afterwards.

There was always a conversation, but you said you didn't want to do it though until it

was ready.

So like, did you get a scripting like now?

I think the guys, when they were trying to break the story, it was just a lot of back

and forth with the writers of how do we do it?

Because how do you, how do you top the first one?

And also how do you like defy people's sense of what they're expecting?

You know, like in the first one, the twist of the ending is so unexpected.

What twist are you talking about?

The fact that they do explode.

You know, it's the will they weren't they?

So now that that's like out of the bag, how do we do that again?

Right.

What's the word I'm looking for?

Subvert people's expectations?

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think.

You know, is there a word?

I don't know if there's a word for it.

There's one in my head when I come up.

A plethora?

What's that?

A word I made up?

I was just trying to subvert your expectations.

Really good.

Yeah, so if you have a word, it could be that.

Okay.

I think a good way of doing stuff is which you did in this movie, which I consider the

game of Thrones approach.

Not really spoiler, but is if you have somebody who you even recognize, let alone of note,

who dies early, you don't expect them to that early.

So I do think there's like a, oh, anything can happen type of thing.

I think.

Yeah.

The whole thing seemed like both of those movies exhausting.

So exhausting.

You're just constantly, not just the character.

I have to imagine you just pushing, right, like literally, like at least unless you're

able to shake without feeling, which I don't, I don't know how somebody could do.

I don't mean that literally, but like.

You kind of can shake without feeling if you really need to.

I don't mean literally, do you know what I'm talking about though?

I'm saying like to have, have fear in your, in your body, you're able to just do it with

your face and not feel it.

No, it's hard.

You got to feel they could, the cameras.

I think so too.

That's what I was saying.

It's so incredible.

You're, you're terrified.

You're going between terrified and acceptance.

So much in that movie.

And it's just like, I believe it, it's, it's nuts, it's like.

The first one more than the second one, not for better or worse, but the first one felt

more like, like a character study, like it's just this, you're watching somebody go through

something that you can't possibly empathize what it would feel like to go through it.

And I feel like that's probably what it would be.

Yeah.

I've always wanted to play, I love war movies, like watching a soldier go through exactly

what you said, like go through a human experience that I cannot comprehend at all.

It's just like the max of human emotion, and I've always wanted to play, and I feel like

we should make a female soldier movie, because there's so many stories about it, someone

needs to do it.

Anyway, what about that kind of lead to ultimately the Will Smith Chris Rock slap?

Is that right?

Yeah.

Do you have the idea Jane?

If it weren't for the GI Jane, where is it?

Good not in a superhero way.

There's haves of female superheroes.

Do you have any is in a superhero?

Is she?

I don't remember.

Well, GI Joe, I mean, adjacent, no?

I don't think so, but also it was a while ago.

I didn't know enough about that.

Um, no, I don't think there's any relation to GI Joe other than the, the plan words.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

So a female soldier movie, similar to Oceans 8, but for instead of robberies, it's soldiers.

Right.

Yeah, like a 1970 or an old quiet on the west and front, those kinds of films, we would

have to take place modern day, right?

Not necessarily.

There was so many like Russian soldiers, it was like they, that were women.

There was a whole battalion that was old female, there was so many guerrilla female soldiers

leading the rebellion in France in World War II.

There was a famous Australian one who was sick and she killed two Nazis with her bare hands.

Anyway, someone will do it.

I hope so.

But in the meantime, I got to play like a soldier essentially in Radio Not or I likened it

to that.

Do you talk to people who have had their hands shot or that like saw somebody get blown

up?

No, no, I just watched War movies because these soldiers like they, they're just normal

regular people, do you know what I mean?

And they're like my dad's a baker and suddenly I'm like fighting a hundred men.

How do you get into this genre, that's your genre now?

I didn't, I didn't, like it just kind of happened.

I think I, my first like big break was the baby sitter, this movie I did, it was my first

American film.

What was that?

That's not a John Hill movie, is it?

No, it's a Netflix movie and it's a horror comedy and then after that, it just kind

of kept happening.

I mean, nine perfect strangers, I was waiting for it to be a horror and it never really

was.

I was confused, but I was, I was on edge the entire time and was there a second season of

that?

I think so, yeah.

I didn't, I didn't see it.

Um, but like you had that vibe and that too to me, like a horror vibe?

Yeah, really?

I don't know if it's because of that what the show was or what I thought like you were

a horror person to me, but yeah, it did, whenever you were on screen, I was like waiting

for something.

Oh, wait.

I thought I was the antithesis of a horror person in that show.

I was, I thought something was going to happen, scary with you.

No, just lost my nose, I think, did a bunch of drugs, nose fell off.

Yeah.

Do you do cocaine?

I used to, I can't anymore because of the baby, because of the baby.

There was a, I don't know, I think it was the first one where one of the, where the

family members comes in and she has coke on her nose and the way you went like this,

I thought to myself, oh, she, not the character you have probably done that before.

It's like when people, I can tell if they, actors have smokers or not, you know, when you

can tell someone's really uncomfortable like smoking a cigarette, but they're pretending

and then you can tell.

But when they cough, have they never smoked a cigarette?

No, it's like something in the, their hands, they're like too stiff or something.

I've never smoked a cigarette.

Have you never?

No, but I used to smoke joints and I always felt popular.

No, I smoke joints.

Okay.

I smoke joints.

You don't have to prove yourself to me.

You're cool.

Haven't I, you, I know I haven't smoked since I've met you, but I take edibles all the

time.

That's not smoking though.

Here's my throat.

Come on.

Yeah.

If somebody knew you got to push through, push through, just keeps smoking away.

No, but I love getting high.

I wanted to get high for this one.

Really why?

I'm not good enough sober.

I just felt like you're going to be heavy and I don't know, I don't know.

Like what am I going to do?

It's going to be literally my arms will get tired from carrying this interview.

And I think that if you're a fan of Taiso, then I have a feeling that you're a fan of

big rock hard boners.

Now I am a little bit of a bitch when it comes to bugs.

I'm also somebody who likes to bring bugs outside.

I see a spider.

The first thing I do is go, ah, ah, ah.

Then I contemplate, am I going to put it in a cup and bring it outside or did it go under

a bed or someplace I can't reach and am I going to consider actually moving?

The thing is, sometimes it's not as simple as putting it in a cup and bringing it outside.

I've been doing weed more than I go through kind of cycles.

Okay.

Does this make you think of clueless?

Nope.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Makes me feel worse than me.

Makes me feel worse than me.

What a mystery.

Wasn't a mystery.

Didn't people not know?

Not a riddle.

Have you seen the dog?

No.

Who's seen the dog?

The dog?

Yeah.

Alvin, stop.

I heard that you're not supposed to let them lick their paws too much.

Why?

I just, I heard that.

From who?

You don't know.

Something about them licking their, I don't know if licking their paws is a symptom

of something or licking their paws cause of something.

Oh.

But it's one of those things.

You're looking it up.

Thanks.

I've been doing weed more.

And how you like it?

I love it.

I love it.

You love it.

I would do it every day if I didn't wake up the next day feeling a little tired and

I didn't just eat churros non-stop.

Yeah.

Do you get stuff done?

I get creative stuff done.

So I could, I could write, I could perform, I could edit.

You can?

So you can function.

Yeah, but I don't work out.

I don't leave the house.

I don't want to do laundry.

Yeah.

OK.

I don't want to shower.

I don't want to brush my teeth.

I don't want to wash my face.

You become a boy.

Yeah.

You become a baby boy.

Yeah.

What's your skincare routine?

I was on acutine for like a year.

Now my skin's great.

I have, go ahead.

Occasional polychromes normal for dogs, part of self-germing, but excessive or obsessive

licking is not healthy enough.

It indicates underlying issues.

While some licking helps keep paws clean or soothe minor irritations frequent and tends

licking chewing or biting can signify allergies, infections, injury, pain or boredom.

You said that like you were giving the transition conditions of a gambling ad.

I was going to say, and they were just told they have to slow that down now.

You know, in the ads.

Yes.

So you know what I do?

I just say it really fast.

I don't speed it up as much.

I do gambling ads.

You do?

I do.

Can I hear one?

Can you do it?

Can you do?

Do you have a memorize them?

No.

It's just saying a whole bunch of states and phone numbers.

Do you gamble?

I love.

You love.

I love gambling.

I've seen those.

I'm not much of a sports gambler.

I love blind check.

Okay.

Ooh.

Sexier.

Ocean.

Tell me two hands.

Tell me two cards that I have.

The queen of diamonds and a ace of space.

What do you have showing?

I have two of spades.

Great.

I just won.

Oh, is that good?

Yeah.

You're welcome.

Thank you very much.

Gambling ads are something that is there are people.

There are fans of the podcast who have had problems

with me doing them.

Pocoa.

Because it ruins people's lives, I guess.

It really does, though, doesn't it?

And I've thought about not doing them.

But that would be a gamble.

Because I don't know who can fill that out space

to give me the money.

Yeah.

You got a pay for your gambling addiction.

Yeah.

And for, you know, weed.

Weed.

Don't gamble if you can't gamble, you know?

But like, I have an interesting relationship

with doing ads because I say no to some things.

I used to say no to a lot of things.

Like, hey, do you want to advertise this?

I would say no to everything that I didn't,

not only that I'd be willing to use

but I didn't already use.

Like what?

A wine subscription.

I don't drink.

Yeah, but money.

I don't drink and I did.

I got free tickets to Coachella through Heineken.

And I just went like this.

And they gave me tickets.

And you feel fine with it, right?

That's where I am now.

That's where I am.

I see Alicia Keys in like 20 people, private, intimate.

Considered Alicia Keys.

Sponsored by Heineken.

A whiskey brand.

And I literally had to do the thing

that you like sip of it, like not sip.

Like pretend to sip and throw it over your shoulder.

Reminds me of my first commercial that I did for KFC

where I had to take a bite while I was watching the big game

and I would stand up excited.

And I was the only one who asked for a spit bucket.

Oh, embarrassing.

For me?

Yeah.

It's funny that you bring that up.

I want to shine a magnifying glass on that

because people did bust my balls about it.

Yeah.

I would.

You know, you're too good for KFC.

I had to keep taking bites.

Too good for the channel.

I think that I could swallow it like a man.

I was proud that I said a boundary.

Despite people saying, you know, you fucking Jew cuck and it was

ain't it?

This is before COVID.

This is before all the people need to black lives matter.

Did they say like are you spit on swallow?

Was that kind of joke?

No.

No.

People didn't sexualize men yet.

Okay.

They have seasoned Australia.

Did they?

Mm-hmm.

It's a thing.

Mm-hmm.

Mom would really.

Shut the fuck up, dude.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The fuck are you doing, dude?

It's known.

It's from Australia.

I know.

France is really good.

No condoms in France.

No McDonald's in France is better than here, apparently.

I haven't heard that, but I heard the Australia KFC one.

She's from Australia.

I know.

And I've had it there.

It's good.

I haven't.

Why don't you drink?

I lost my privileges.

Oh, you're sober?

Yeah.

Because of problems.

Took it.

I've been.

I completed drinking.

I finished it.

You know, that that tracks to me.

You saying I completed drinking is the same thing as you calling me a f*** because I didn't

swallow the KFC stuff.

I didn't say that.

I just said you were weak and like not a man.

Are you a bully when you were younger?

No, I was bullied.

No, you weren't.

Yeah.

You got beaten up.

You got your head put in a toilet?

No.

Girl bullying.

Hating.

Where they would be like, oh, how are you?

She's f***ing fat.

No, no, no.

Have you seen private schoolgirl, Chris Lilly?

I hate that.

Why are you wearing that?

I heard f*** it like kissed someone else.

Was your high school boyfriend?

Maybe.

Middle school?

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

F***.

And he got kicked in.

He got kicked in the head so many times playing rugby that his hair went gray at 13 years old.

Is that why you went gray?

Yeah.

I think so.

He got like 11 concussions.

F***.

What is he doing now?

He would swallow a KFC.

I don't even get what the joke is there.

You're saying you need a real man?

Is that what the joke is?

Yeah.

The guy who decides after a second concussion to keep going nine more times.

Yeah.

Have you talked to him recently?

No.

Do you have his phone number?

Yeah.

I don't want to.

I don't want to call him.

Why is that?

That's good.

KFC.

I don't know.

Not in the mid.

So you were when you were 13, you were dating him?

Yeah.

That's a theory on how old a guy is when he gets blown and how old a girl is.

Not when she can see now, but when she first blows.

Okay.

Kind of dictates who they become.

Really?

Yeah.

But not intended.

What do you think I'm scared to ask?

What do I think about what?

Nothing.

When you first blew?

Yeah.

Well, based on the fact that you finished drinking, no way was it later than 15.

Nobody finishes drinking and didn't blow a guy until she was in 16 or 17.

And that's why I say this all the time.

I want all young girls to not blow somebody until you're 16.

Oh, you'll get a drinking problem.

It depends.

A genetics is a big part of it too.

See, I didn't get blown until I was 17.

Oh, sweet.

Yeah.

So I take edibles instead of smoking.

You're right.

You gamble.

I only gamble.

I only do table game gambling.

Your ex girlfriend has a baby with someone.

You know, three of my last four exes all had babies within a year of each other.

So if you want to get pregnant.

Fuck me for a little bit.

And then also I could come inside of you because I heard if you hold your breath when you

come, you can't get a girl pregnant.

No, I have a varicoseal in my left testicle and it's difficult to get somebody pregnant.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Okay.

And I had a surgery on it in the 11th grade.

My varicoseal went away.

A woman got pregnant that I was sleeping with.

My varicoseal came back.

Wow.

The world was really going.

Don't do that.

Yeah.

Well, is it better now?

The varicoseal is still there.

It's just extra veins around my left testicle.

So it's warm.

Oh, that's nice.

Yeah.

I think so.

Can you get someone pregnant?

It's just harder.

I would have to either do IVF or have the surgery again.

Okay.

Yeah.

Do you want to do the surgery again?

I don't know.

Yeah.

I would do the surgery again once I found my person.

Nice.

I'm ready to have kids.

I was ready yesterday.

Yeah.

But you have to leave the house to meet someone.

I've been doing weed less.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

I've been going on dates.

Hey.

How's it going?

I don't know if any of the people that go on dates with watch my podcast, I have to assume

they don't.

Oh, yeah.

Well, they probably do.

I don't think so.

They probably just watch the clips.

But I have been having a nice time.

I have not found a person that I want to have surgery for yet.

Okay.

That's a good bar to have.

Yeah.

Well, I have surgery on my balls for this woman.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

This is the old saying goes.

That's a classic.

So you're 13 years old.

You're blowing guys.

You're getting eaten out.

And then you're like, when I stop drinking, I think I'll get in a horror movies.

Yeah.

No.

Sure.

So when did you, um, what kind of stuff did you do going on dates before you guys could

drive?

Um, in Australia, people just get really drunk and then kiss.

Like, literally, okay.

I went back to Australia and my girlfriend's a single and I was like, I want to see what

goes on in your single life.

So we went to a pub and it's like high school that all the boys are on one side and all

the girls are on the other side.

And then they get drunk and then they make out.

There's no.

At the bar.

At the pub?

Yeah.

And then I came, I remember coming to the States and being so surprised at how, um, men

will come up to people, men approach women here and not in a creepy way.

They just Australians avoid it, I think.

I have been hearing, um, from, uh, the woman podcast, uh, space that the algorithm has been

forcing down my, can I say fucking throat that guys don't approach women anymore?

Or do they not?

I feel like they, well, in the States, it's, maybe it's gone down, but it's way more

than in Australia.

Is there afraid to or because women also go up to men and you just say kiss, kiss,

like Neanderthals?

I don't know.

It must be a cultural thing.

And I mean, all, I mean, Australia was a giant jail too.

Yeah.

So we're all descendants from rat bags.

What's the slur that you said?

A rat bag.

Rat bag.

A dirt bag.

Um, what about the, um, they have originies?

Yeah.

Well, they're the good ones.

Could we have a moment of silence for what they've gone through?

Do you have any charities for the average and these people that you like to support?

I don't.

No.

Do you, uh, anything you want to do to help with the average and he's just push in,

tighter?

There's a really good brand called House of Dizzy.

That's an indigenous female, um, and constantly and they have sick earrings that I love.

Good.

I think we should support that.

Uh, on my podcast, we support the indigenous, uh, black owned businesses.

That's good.

And more, uh, and better Chinese restaurants and Los Angeles.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Thank you.

I want to know what pop, that's what popular people do.

Popular.

Popular kids.

Are you joking?

All the unpopular freaks were getting down weird.

What you're talking about are the artists.

Yeah.

I was the, I was, uh, the captain of the drama club.

Yeah.

I got a thick glasses and I had longer front teeth.

I got them, um, shaved off just the front teeth.

Mm.

Like a minor grandeur.

You know, how would she like shrinks them?

That's what I did.

You had to like buck teeth.

A really buck.

How old are you?

You got them shaved.

After radio, not one.

So in radio night, I have longer teeth and then radio not to slightly shorter teeth.

You know, I noticed.

You didn't.

I, I didn't notice the difference, but I noticed the little, I noticed this friend

too longer and I tell you something.

I, I, my first girlfriend had two missing teeth and, uh, well, she did after she started

speaking up poorly to me.

And I, no, no, she had to retain her with two fake teeth.

I'm a man.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I've loved character teeth ever since, gaps, long things.

It's good.

I just always was like, eh, I wish.

And then I went to the dentist, Sally, my dentist, and I went, oh, it's always bugged

me that I've long front teeth.

They like catch on my lip and stuff and she went, I can do it.

I didn't know that it was so easy to do.

I thought, oh, I'm just going to accept this about myself.

Then Sally went, I can fix that for you.

Are you going to have surgeries unless you already have and I don't want to talk about,

but I just met somebody for the first time.

I think I'm going to do something.

They said that or you said that.

I, for the first time, think there's something I'm going to do.

What are you going to do?

I think I'm going to do stem cells under my eyes.

Oh, yeah.

Have you done that?

You know, you've done it.

Yeah.

Wait, I've just, they just, they do, um, micro needling and then they put stem cells in

the raw skin.

Yeah.

I'm doing both of those things.

I'm going to do, I think.

That's so surgery.

It's, it's cosmetic work.

It's needles and injections.

Yeah.

No, no injections.

Stem cells.

Oh, you're getting them injected.

I'm going to do, I think I'm going to do morpheus eight.

Do you know about this?

That is good.

Have you done it?

Mm-hmm.

Not an injection though.

And then I might, when you go to these places, I was doing it because I wanted it.

Don't get you.

Don't get you.

I don't know how insecure I should be.

I know.

They, did they map your face and go, this is everything that's wrong?

Um, I don't know if they map my face, but they pointed out some flaws and I go, uh,

I'm looking myself different.

I, I look at myself, I don't even want to say what they are.

I look at myself differently.

It was, it was kind of like so intense.

Yeah.

And she suggested a couple of things and I'm like, no, I'm okay.

That's, that's not what my value lies.

Yeah.

But then we're like, I'll throw some, some little, I'll throw some babies under my eyes.

Yeah.

Do you have a, you heard about the salmon sperm?

I've seen the salmon sperm.

Do you think that's, do we think it works?

I've tried, I've tried like when I eat salmon, I lick its dick a little bit.

Um, it grosses me out.

Yeah.

Have you done it?

Yeah.

But again, I just, do you have picture, can I put up, do you have pictures of what you

look like?

If not, well, I'll Google it right.

I like what it is.

No, no, it doesn't.

It has, when you get the, oh, no, I think that when they injected, it's different.

I just get my cranedeling where they ripple my skin off and then they go and my raw skin

and then it heals.

Have you seen when people inject the, this, this is the real thing, by the way, the salmon

sperm.

It looks like, I don't know how to say this other than, you know, when you watch national

geographic stuff and a lot of those people, they have like, I think it scars that they

gave themselves, like tribal things, like the raised skin.

Yeah.

Ooh.

Yeah.

I wonder how long that lasts for.

I don't know.

And then I saw CO2 lasers.

Have you seen this one?

No.

I mean, it just, there's two, it's too much.

It burns here.

It looks terrifying.

I'm quite expensive.

Yeah.

That's why I think I might do it in trade.

Trade for what?

I think I might, I want to talk to you about it.

I was, I might want to have you come to the place and film me getting these things.

A little cosmetic.

Yeah.

Where are you going?

Are you allowed to say, so I have a good place.

I do.

I have a place I want to go.

Where do you go?

And see Christina.

She's wonderful.

The place that I am new look.

Sure.

Oh, sure.

That's pretty on the nose in it.

You know what it is?

Are you just saying?

No, I just said sure.

Because I'm sure that's true.

It's a new look.

You're saying you have a new look?

Well, you will after you go, no?

I don't know.

You have a perfect, beautiful face though.

That's why I said to her.

You don't need it.

Oh, I don't do that.

This culture is fucking awesome, really.

I never thought I would do it until I went to this place.

I just wanted to do something for my skin.

I don't care.

They told me so many things.

They tell you so many things.

There's so many things I could do.

But Christina's really nice.

She doesn't tell you things.

She goes, you look great, Sam.

Get out of here.

Well, I don't know if she would say that to me.

She would.

Sam, not everybody looks great when they go in.

You look great though.

But I do know they do, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they,

they weigh down.

I, I have a different perspective of cosmetic work over the past five years.

Tell me.

I just have friends that have gotten stuff done and you would maybe never know.

I think it's fine if it makes you feel good, sure.

But I do think, okay, there's the micro version of it, which is personal,

which is like if it makes you feel good, go get all the sandwiches you want in your face.

But then there's the macro level.

Which is like why society putting all these pressures on us to look younger and blah, blah,

blah, blah.

And that's not good.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I don't.

I think maybe I haven't been around it.

It's not for maybe a little man, but I don't have any feeling of like societies trying

to make me.

Oh, yeah.

Maybe because you're a boy.

Yeah.

But in nine perfect strangers, I just do a lot of research about that because that's

her whole deal.

Right.

It's really sad.

Will you tell me about Jason Segal?

Because in he is the best, he's the best.

I don't have, I don't have any wedding photos of me and my husband, but I have, why?

We never got married because of COVID, but we have a wedding photo of me and Jason Segal

on the wall because we had a prop photo.

And so that's my wedding.

Why not put his face on it?

Why would I cover up Jason Segal's face?

I'm sorry, man.

I'm a big fan of yours, too.

We should go hiking sometime.

You should.

Oh, he's a wonderful human.

Oh, I was talking about your husband.

Oh, yeah.

He's also a wonderful human being.

People say that him and Jason have similar vibe.

What's the Jason movie about?

It's a marriage couple that are both trying to murder each other and then a third party

in Bates.

It's based on a foreign film, Buck West's film.

Is it a Swedish film or a Finnish film?

I don't know, things.

I should have put this up quickly.

Called The Trip.

It's based on another movie called The Trip.

Let's just say that.

It's based on another movie called The Trip.

It's a trip movie with the two guys.

What's his name?

Steve Cougan?

Isn't that the trip?

Yeah.

It's a different trip.

The movie that I described, that's the trip.

Do you laugh when you were with Jason Siegel, but you're doing a horror?

It's so hard not to laugh.

He's so funny.

When he gets into that zone, when we were...

Turn this a little bit different, pointing away, sorry.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When we were just doing, like, when we were improvising and bickering as a couple, it's

like watching an athlete at their best.

It's like watching Michael Jordan, you know, you're just in the presence of greatness.

Do you laugh with...

Who else?

Who is tough to not laugh with?

Do it Lewis.

Really funny.

The original was Norwegian and Swedish.

Thank you.

The trip?

Yeah, they were in our trip.

It's Norwegian.

It's on Netflix.

It's based on a Norwegian movie called The Trip.

You can cut that in there wherever you want.

Cut it in there.

Didn't you say to say things like that?

You've been doing it all the time.

Yeah, but you just said it.

Don't like gaslight me.

But you've been saying it.

You've been going, oh, quick swipe to this and all the way.

I'm literally asking.

Yeah, I mean, such a bully, Jesus Christ.

I'm literally asking...

I just said editing.

But it's already in.

But we're set...

This is all in.

I know, but when you want to put it where I originally said, okay, what do I...

Whatever you want.

Oh, you know what?

You're pregnant.

Oh, you know what?

You can't eat capsic.

Jason Seable.

Julia.

No, I'm trying to think.

I was trying to say, hey, John Michael, when we first bring up the trip, and I say, Steve

Cougan, will you please put up a poster of the Norwegian Swedish film The Trip?

And then when we could come back, is that good?

Yep.

Have you ever had three movies come out?

No.

Has anybody?

Probably.

These are three theatrical release movies coming out within like three months of each other.

I know, man.

Can you believe?

And you're going to be giving birth from the looks of you in an hour.

At the same time.

A full release.

Nice.

And the fifth, if you include the conception.

Or the placenta.

Oh, do you...

Is that...

People eat that, right?

You have to give birth to the placenta, dude.

I'm not insane.

No one tells you these things.

What does that mean?

Isn't that...

The boobs start leaking.

I feel like when my...

started leaking.

You're not supposed to say that?

It's a racial slur.

F***.

Yes.

Rikolas.

It's a racial slur, really.

Of course.

Lewis.

Come on.

Get your head out.

I'm being serious.

F***.

Is it?

Is it really?

Sorry.

Okay.

When your nipples start...

Okay.

Cut that up, then.

I really didn't know.

I really didn't know.

What race?

I don't know, but I think it's Asian of some kind.

It is.

It's a really...

I believe it's Asian.

Okay.

I really need to not abbreviate nipple anymore.

I've got...

I've got to tell you that for weeks.

When my nipples leak.

When my nipples leak.

Thank you.

It's so crazy.

That suddenly your body just does something different.

I assume it's similar to when boys have seen them come out for the first time.

I remember the day.

Is it weird?

It must have been so crazy.

I had been masturbating for years before I could come.

And nothing happened.

Nothing came out.

And I didn't know about it.

And then something came out.

That's so weird, no?

Turns out it's pretty natural.

I know, but do you freak out?

I used to not know what it was.

And I didn't even know it was sexual.

I just knew that if you touched long enough, it would feel good.

But then suddenly one day goo comes out.

That's wild.

Yeah.

And then I remember I used to do it.

And it would just go out on the carpet.

And I remember it because it was a chair I would sit in.

And I would just do it.

And I would always do it there.

And then I looked at it one day and it looked like maybe the carpet was burned

or a candle melted on it or something.

And there was just, and I intuitively knew, oh, I should be embarrassed.

I didn't know I should be embarrassed.

We just know shame.

We've got to feel shame.

Why chair?

I don't know.

Sitting when I was, it would be a place in the house that I would sit.

And when I would just sit there sometimes, I'd be like, oh, I guess I could do that thing

that feels good.

Yeah, right.

Yeah.

Just like to go in your arm.

Oh boy.

I also remember the first time, the first time it came out was when I was watching The Simpsons.

I feel like I said this on a podcast once because I used to just touch myself to the

scent that just I would watch in The Simpsons, you know, like let me have a, let me just

touch myself.

So when you're like, oh, I want to eat a snack and watch my favorite shows, like let's

do double pleasure.

Correct.

Sure.

And then it came out once and I was under a blanket and it came in the blanket.

But I really think the reason I became a comedian is because I started coming to The Simpsons.

Wow.

Do you remember which episode?

I would probably a lot.

It was the episode where it was a plan of the apes with Dr. Zeyes.

Oh, that's a good one.

I play the piano anymore.

Well, of course, you can while I couldn't before, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Did you make that sound?

That's such a young age.

No, you didn't.

That was, that was not, no, I did not, I never about me coming.

Sorry.

Yeah.

We're disgusting.

Thank you for asking, though.

Sorry.

What were we talking about before we got into that?

I don't really know.

I'm so sorry.

Delete all of that.

It's fine.

I don't worry about it.

I'm thinking every other time again.

So your nipples were leaking and now you know how your body works.

And that's what it's like to have three movies coming out.

Yeah.

Do you feel like you're going to have to do a lot of press before the baby comes because

what are you doing?

I think I'm going to South by, but I'll be like weeks away from giving birth.

So that's TBD.

I can't go to Europe, which is annoying.

Do you like going to Europe for press stuff?

Yeah.

I can't go.

What's that?

It'd be better be cute, you know what I mean?

Wait, wait, wait.

She will be.

She's a baby.

When you go, when, when, when, when people who do like big movies, they do press, they fly

all over the world.

Yeah.

First class.

That's right.

Do you.

Do you not want to?

Do you not want to?

They might send me in a private jet because a commercial plane will let me on.

Really?

Two pregnant.

Interesting.

Yeah.

And no, when you say you're saying you're not going to Europe, is it because you want to

go to Europe or do you like doing that stuff?

I'll be too.

I love going to you.

I really want to go, but I'll be too pregnant.

My doctor will let me go.

No, I'm saying, if you weren't pregnant, what is it that you like about it?

Do you like being in Europe or do you like, could you explain to me what a press tourist

not pregnant feels like when you go to different countries?

It is pretty hectic, but I'd love Europe so much.

I love flitting around Paris and Italy and, you know, do you make a trip of it?

Or do you go do work and leave?

I try to make a trip of it unless I have to work afterwards or something, but I'll try

to extend.

Are you now because you're giving birth?

Are you going to be done as an actress and just be a mother?

Who knows?

Really?

Probably not.

No.

I doubt it.

Right?

That would be crazy.

But who knows?

Maybe some weird, I'll have some hormonal shift and I'll go, you guys, that was my swansong

amount.

Have you been wanting a baby?

Yeah.

But I never thought I'd be like ready and then one day I went.

Did you guys try to get pregnant?

First girl.

Really?

Yeah.

So it was a choice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm almost 30 and I feel like if I don't have a baby soon, it'll be too late.

No.

People live forever these days.

I live so much.

Have a baby.

I live so much.

Have a baby.

You do?

I want a baby.

Why?

I want a family.

I want to come home to somebody, at least somebody's.

I want to be making stuff and when I first moved out here, I'm like, oh, I want to

make stuff.

And this is my dream.

And I still want to make stuff.

But I now realize, oh, that's just a thing to do.

I felt this way for probably five years now.

Maybe since COVID.

But I don't like, what for what?

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

It's awesome making stuff.

Amazing collaborating with people.

I love doing stuff with people and laughing with people and being proud of something.

And then you do it.

And then it's like, and then what?

Yeah.

Just fucking groundhogs day.

You know?

Well, you want to like work to live, not live to work, okay?

Mm-hmm.

And we're so lucky because we get to like, it's not even work.

It's just so fun.

But.

Yeah.

Like, what's your real purpose?

That kind of thing.

Um.

You're daddy.

Yeah.

And I'm obsessed with him.

And this is the segue, you know?

Uh-huh.

It's the gateway, baby.

Could you tell me, uh, uh, I kind of skip past this stuff, but I want to hear.

When I do stuff where I need to be intense and there hasn't been much where that's been

the case, um, I feel this way also like with standup.

When I have to be funny, sometimes I don't want to have to be funny.

Uh, I'm not funny.

Is that funny or the?

Uh, well, it used to be a burden and what I've accepted is, oh, I won't be funny today.

Yeah.

But that in itself is always really funny.

I, at least it's honest, it's present, it's like, it's something.

Yeah.

I agree.

Like, I, I don't go on stage thinking I have to be funny and-

Because when people try to be funny, it's not funny.

When people try to be anything that they're not locked into, it does, yeah.

That's why I was saying this is shaking and not feeling it like you really have to feel

the thing.

Yeah.

Just go.

But when I go on stage, I don't have to be anything.

I could be whatever version I am in a movie, well, in a movie you can't.

You have people telling you what they need from you.

Yeah.

So when you have to be intense like that, what do you, do you, are you able to just turn

it on?

Kind of.

I think it's, there's no, it's like, um, I'm sure when you walk up on stage and do standup,

there's no turning back.

You just have to go 100, you know what I mean?

But I could go any way that's honest to me.

Right, right.

I'm not playing the character.

I think it's the same.

As long as it's honest, it'll be good.

And then also because it's maybe I can do a lot of stuff again.

But yeah, you just have to go a thousand percent, especially in a movie like this where

there's so many, because of the comedy aspect of it and everyone else is such a character.

If I'm not super grounded in playing the-

Straight.

The stakes of it, it doesn't work.

So yeah, I just have to be so afraid.

Are there times where, uh, who was it, who was Ben, who would direct you as a performer?

Matt.

Matt, where there be times where Matt would have to come to you and say, hey, this needs

to be more grounded.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Because your energy was elevated or because it was lost.

Did that question make sense?

Yeah.

No, totally.

The first one, not so much on the second one, but on the first one.

We didn't really know, or at least I didn't really know what we were making in terms of

like the tone of the film, because the way it read, the script is so great, but it could

have been, and I think this is why the guys were so great, because they found, they told

a very fine line in terms of tone of when it's meant to be funny, when's it scary, when's

it grounded, when's it real, really hard to do.

But on the day, when we were shooting it, I didn't know, oh, are we going to do this

in a comedic sense, or are we going to play this really real?

Do we want it to be super over the, like, is it a campy moment?

I was a bit like, what should we do?

And so I just gave them different versions of it.

Throughout?

Yeah.

So you didn't know the tone truly until you watched it.

Yeah, but I don't know if...

Really?

I didn't, I didn't.

I knew that it could go different ways.

Like, for instance, the ending of the first one...

It's very lyrical.

Not really, but the, any of the first one, I remember, it wasn't written that I laugh,

but I just said to them, I was like, can I do one more take where I just piss myself

in this room, like, where I just find the culture?

You were talking to your husband.

And everyone's gone, everyone's exploded, and I, like, I just start laughing, I was like,

I think I need to, I need to give the audience like a breath of fresh air at that point,

but that wasn't written, so we were kind of finding...

But that...

You know, had a...

That comedic choice didn't cannibalize the grounding of it.

That's it.

There is a version that I did where I'm, like, so shocked in that moment, and, like,

freaking out and crying, but in the edit, they were like, oh, her laughing at how ridiculous

the situation is is what it needs to be.

Could you tell me how Ben would say, hey, we need to be more grounded?

Matt.

Matt, sorry.

Will you tell me how he would say that to you?

He wouldn't say it like that.

How would he...

He's really good at notes.

Well, actually, I would say at the beginning, I'd go, Matt, you can tell me, because I do

go, I can overact, I can be, I can go to a 10.

And so I'll let directors know if the bat be like, don't feel bad to tell me.

I say this, but when I meet someone, especially on TV, where it's guest directors, often,

I say the same thing.

I'm gonna be big.

It's what I am, and I am very comfortable, just...

I ask them to say, will you please not like, will you be as direct as possible, say,

it's too much, bring it like, because to be here and to bring it up, I don't know what

you want me to do.

But here, I know how to do less, you know, more could be an infinite direction of more.

No, Matt's great.

And he'll always come from a place of like logic.

So he makes the actors feel like they know that it's not just a note.

It's confusing when someone gives you a note, but you don't really know why it's there.

Or...

Could you give me examples?

And I could give specific moments if that makes it easier.

But is there an example that you could say where they say, hey, let's make it more grounded?

Or funny, but I don't think that's ever, I feel it would always be the other way.

You would always say to bring it down.

I don't know.

You're on over your dead body with Jason.

Oh, I remember that.

I think you told me that.

He directed.

Awesome.

Awesome.

Yeah.

He would pitch like joke ideas to me, which I was, I love so much.

And I'm so glad one that I could keep my Australian accent because I knew there was going

to be a lot of improv and improvising in Americans tricky.

Because when you learn your lines, it's easier to learn the phonetics, but when you're talking,

it's not.

No, just that, like improv, it's, you know, whatever comes to mind.

And the first thing that comes to mind is some weird Australian thing.

And then I have to do like American math and be like, how would an American say like,

oh, you're fucking cooked.

Like how would an American be like, you're fucking crazy.

You know, and then it kind of, and in the moment's gone.

So I wanted to just not have to worry about that.

And then I went and did UCB for a few months, really?

Yeah.

So fun.

Yeah.

Like just in, like with 101.

I did 101, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1.

I did, I went through those twice.

I love it.

It's so fun.

Yeah.

It is the most whimsical part of my week.

You did it because of the movie?

Yeah, I was like, I need a, I've never done, I never went to any of those, and I've

went to school for acting or anything.

And I love working with comedians and, same.

They seem to have a toolkit that they can access.

And I, and it going to UCB was great because I could exercise that muscle because I could

always, I'd always have fun and be silly.

But to be able to just really go back and forth with Jason or Juliet and have done like,

just drills at UCB.

It was so great.

Were people in the class, did anybody in the class think like I was cool that you were

there?

I got some weird looks.

Yeah.

They're like, I get it.

But they would all like be really nice and then it was at the, the last class.

They'd be like, hey, can I get a photo, you know?

The last, Ben, you did the performances.

Oh, you didn't do them.

Why not?

I got scared.

Really?

Yeah.

I've been thinking about redoing, I have friends that are improvisers, this kind of improv

and stand up and they overlap, but they usually pick one or the other.

And I did an episode not too long ago with Lisa Gilroy, do you know her?

The great.

So funny.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I've seen Ben Schwartz, like, four times or something, his show.

I want to get back into it.

I want to do live improv shows.
