Dana, what does a confident smile say to you?
And maybe more importantly, what does it say about you?
With smile generation, it says you're taking care of more than just your teeth because confidence doesn't start and stop at a bright smile, it's about your whole body wellness.
Smile generation reimagines oral health as the gateway to long-term confidence.
Why?
Because oral health issues have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even cognitive conditions.
When you care for your smile, you're investing in your future.
And that confidence it starts with feeling supported.
With Smile Generation trusted providers, you're not just another patient, you're a partner.
They prioritize personal, patient-focused care that truly listens to you.
Plus, with education and preventive care at the core, Smile Generation empowers you to understand the connection between your mouth and overall health so you can stop issues before they start.
Here's your chance to take the first step: Smile Generation is offering a $59 new patient special that's a comprehensive exam, cleaning, and x-rays, a $290 value.

Wooing would be too strong, but just a little pre-act.
No, it was right into I'll pick you up or four.
And she was like, who is this?
Four Four o'clock's early for sex.
Feels like we should keep the momentum moving forward.
We've done the accent.
I don't want to run this podcast, guys.
I'm too hungover.
My mom would get obviously given many.
Oh, my God.
I'm just kidding.
She's like, I hope you don't cut your line out and then just leave me with that code.
Yeah, that's a good way to do it.
You could just throw me out.
All right, Dana, we've got Isla Fisher, the lovely and talented Isla Fisher.
Everyone likes her.
All the girlies like Isla.
Never hear a bad word about her.
Yeah.
Great.

She was in the installment.
Now she's back.
She's got Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg.
Mark Ruffalo.
Mark Ruffalo from Texas.
You grill her about all these people.
And
she really cracks under pressure yeah
no she was she's the type that you could tell she's pretty much like she is
uh you would think
upbeat fun yeah busting our balls a little bit and she was pretty kind i pulled out an australian accent which I go in and out of and she was very very kind about it I think it was a little cartoony but she loves Paul Hogan and we really get into the small community of Australia and all these superstars Actors and actors.
Yeah.
She was a hen person.
And she stole your notes.
I always let the guests look at my notes because they get a confused look, like, what?
Wait, you guys are preparing for me?
We always prepare a little bit.
It doesn't seem like it.
Yeah, we try to make it look easy, but it ain't easy.
It is so fucking hard.
But here she is, the lovely Isla Fisher.
Hi, Puppy.
Hi, I'm David.
I've never met you before.
I'll be the lead interviewer.
David, I'm Dana.
Dana, nice to meet you.
Did you meet Dana ever?
I don't know.
I'm a shoot.
We're opposite.
She's a man about town, and I just stay home.
And you stay home?
Oh.
Are you a man?
A woman about town?
I am now.
I used to be a woman.
Isn't it fun to do press on a movie and travel around?
It is.
The lighting's good, guys.
I like this for the ladies.
Yes, you look.
Are you lit?
Are you okay with it?
By the way, I'm staying with my friend right now, and I was like, I'm doing a podcast.
She goes, do you remember when you tried to set me up with him?
And then apparently you texted her, just, I'll pick you up at, and then you texted her, just like, I'll pick you up at four o'clock.
Nothing else.
Not like, hi, I'm Dave Mail.
Me?
Yeah.
We are not starting with this.
This is not possible.
It'll start.
It's good, and it's almost over.
That will be over after this blasphemy.
Hey, man, it's already on Daily Mail.
It's already on Daily Mail.
It's fair.
Hey, pick you up at four o'clock.
Who was it, Chelsea?
It worked fast.
No, it was not.
I'm going to switch mine on to.
Don't say who it was.
I'm not going to say who it was.
I'm just going to get clear here for a second.
Have you guys ever
met before?
I didn't meet her.
I just met her a lot.
Many times.
And she's awful.
I just said, have you guys ever met?
I heard, and I said,
I've been married for 23 years.
I only just got, yeah, so no, we have.
You only got what?
You know, separated, divorced.
And you feel happy, not happy, but probably you're friends with Nicole Kidman.
Now maybe she's going through something.
I'm really, really, really shocked.
I have left a message.
I have not connected yet, but I don't really want to comment on that because there are children involved.
I will.
You know, I did.
I left a like on one of her Instagram pictures, and I thought that was a lot.
I thought that just shows thinking about her.
Yes.
Yeah, tough times to be in the public eye.
Luckily, I stay underground.
Literally, this was a big show.
This is underground.
Yeah, it's really great.
This is like a doomsday show.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
This is the apocalypse.
It's when you get a place.
By the way, this is a good bomb shelter.
This is fun.
We're in here.
We've got Diet Coke.
We've got a few books.
We've got a sandler.
It's like a bomb shelter.
And a little bit with good lighting.
Well, we didn't want to overly bright it up because they said,
I tell girls I'm 6'4.
I'm really 6'4.
Typically.
That's my Tinder app.
I go, oh, they messed that up.
Wait, you're on Tinder?
No, Hyla.
You'd be on Ryan, let's be honest.
Anyway, Hyla, I'm glad I told someone I'd meet him at four.
I don't even know what I do it for.
You just said, I'll pick you up at four.
Well, wait a minute.
I'm sorry.
I missed the setup.
She said she's going to set me up with someone.
I said, I've got a lovely friend that I thought would be nice because you were single at the time.
Yeah.
And he was like, cool, sure.
And so then I gave, I guess, a digit over, anticipating there'd be some back and forth.
Sort of something.
Some kind of like
wooing.
Wooing would be too strong, but just a little preact.
Nope, but it was right into I'll pick you up at four.
And she was like, who is this?
I said,
and I said, I'm sorry.
I meant I'll pick you up for sex
because I'm tired of what we've been doing so far.
Which is never having met.
We're on Daily Mail right now.
Four o'clock's early for sex.
Oh, where's my notes, Heather?
Well, god dang it.
We've done a lot of research.
I carry my notes for an hour before you get here, and then it starts.
Are they handwritten those notes?
That's intimidating.
Yeah, here, you can take a look.
Can I just read off?
Read off.
Heather, go through all 28,000 feet.
I've never seen it.
Okay, I'm just going to start off by saying that there's no C in my name.
It's Fisher, F-S-H-E-R.
Oh, I mean, Heather.
Yeah, this interview was a lot of fun.
I got it from Eddie.
Eddie, Fisher.
Yeah, Dana, she's seen enough.
Yeah.
Isla, I know that part.
Yeah, you did.
Isla's your first name.
You were born in Somalia.
You were born in Scotland.
Is that wrong?
Keep going.
It's going to be.
Scotland was the one I heard.
No, there's some weird place.
Before Australia.
Oman.
Where is Oman, guys?
It's a test.
It's a geography test.
It's in the Middle East, Clue.
Oh.
Close to Saudi Arabia.
You know it.
North of Dubai.
East of Dubai.
Yeah.
South of Iran.
Where gingers, where short Scottish gingers end up being born.
So, what is your current accent?
What would you describe yourself?
I think it's Australian.
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
Did you ever?
I mean, I know you had this long, long soap art.
What about a place called Home?
Was that what it was called?
No, it's called Home and Away.
No, but wasn't there a series called A Place Called Home?
Or something like that, or Aussie series?
Yeah, it was called Home and Away.
Okay.
Home and Away is serious.
A place called Home is similar enough.
But there was a separate.
Maybe I saw your show.
Yeah, were you in Australia?
It's shown in like many countries, but I don't think it's shown.
During COVID, he said he watched the series you were on.
I watched the series.
Wolf like me?
I don't know.
I stood.
I saw the Australian accent perfect for a while because I watched this Australian show.
Okay, let's hear it.
It's terrible now.
Oh, come on.
I'll be better at the end of this.
I don't want to do so major, but.
Major was good.
Major was good.
I just don't do it too hard.
Oh, that was a bit complicated.
I'll go to
Michael Kane in a second.
Oh, that is my bad.
I could say, fuck you, Baco Kaine, and back off.
By Dabe is Baco Kaid.
Oh, see, you do it right.
You're the first.
You know why the secret?
What?
Nasal.
Yeah.
Block nose.
But yeah,
you are a head coat, and that's what does Michael Kite.
I know.
You know, I work, we can circle this around to the movie I'm promoting.
Now you saw me, but you want me to see me again.
What's the title?
Now you see me, now you don't.
Okay.
All right.
So this is a trilogy.
This is the third one.
You were in the first one.
I skipped the second.
Because you were
a baby.
Yes.
And now this one's coming out November 14th.
Not on a streaming site.
Movie screen.
Surprisingly, it's going to the cinema.
It's unbelievable.
It's so nice to be in a cinema again.
I mean, like,
it's nothing better than watching something, you know, with people.
That's big star stuff because they save the big movies
for.
I love going to the movies still.
Yeah.
I go to the Grove.
At 4 o'clock, you go with whoever you've texted.
Whoever they texted that day.
Yeah.
And then I go.
his own nickname is four o'clock.
Yeah.
His nickname is four o'clock.
At the end of the day, it says, by the way, this is a mass email.
And whoever responds.
I heard of an actor.
Oh, come on.
I will tell you after, but it's an actor that would text girls and say,
actively saying, the first girl that
DX fact to me will get fucked.
And that was
exactly what I was saying.
And that was
everyone's supposed to be jumping and like jockeying.
I want to know what the hit ratio of such an alpha is
low numbers as a woman.
Do you think that's a turn-on as a phrase?
I'm pretty sure it'd say dial in, get a restraining order, at least report it to the police.
Yeah, and to sag.
Yeah, to sag because it's an actor.
Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you after, and you won't be shocked.
Not Nicholas Cage.
I just wanted to announce it.
Lower.
Lower?
I mean, not as big of a.
But it's all rude.
So, now you see me.
Now you don't.
Now you don't.
And the third one is, is it called third one or is it called Now You See Me?
No, you don't.
Actually, one of the very few talking points I was given when discussing this film is to not let you say Now You See Me Three.
Okay.
Oh, no.
No, now you see me.
It's Now You See Me, Now You Don't.
Yeah, yeah.
Jesse Eisenberg.
Okay.
All right.
What was the first one?
One word.
One word for these
pals.
That's a good one, isn't it?
Jesse Eisenberg.
Hilarious.
Woody Harrelson.
Adorable.
Stoned.
Dave Franco.
I'm adding my word.
BFF.
Hot.
Dominic Sessa.
Dominic Sessa.
Kind.
Ariana Greenblatt.
Sweet.
Justice Smith.
Clever.
David Spade.
Handsome.
Oh,
I stuck you in there for it.
I put on a sweater.
Put on a sweater in the middle of fucking sweater.
So you you also have Michael Caine in it briefly.
And Michael Kane, right?
I'm wearing a blazer, tweed blazer.
I know.
Both of us are schizing.
You have incredible clothes.
That's really...
Do you have a stylist?
I'm serious.
I do.
I do.
So do I.
It's called the gap.
I don't think people like it when you go, do you have a stylist?
And you know I do.
And they go
together.
It's like, look at Heather over there.
No, Heather does have a, Heather's the cutest.
I saw that outfit right away.
I did.
You see your shorts?
You reminded me of AC DC, the lead singer.
That's what I said.
That's what I think.
All I wanted to do is like.
No, it's the guitar player.
Yeah, guitar player in his school uniform with that little hat.
Oh, he's fucking Aussie.
Aussie.
Aren't those guys Aussie?
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Oi, oi, oi.
Were you ever on neighbors?
Controversial question.
No, I was on home and away.
Feels like
questions.
We are regressing.
Let's go.
No, no, no.
It feels like we should keep the momentum moving forward.
We've done the accent.
I don't want to run this podcast, guys.
I'm too hungover.
Fuck.
You're hungover because we hung out with you.
I don't really drink it.
I mean, I'm a mom of the room.
She doesn't drink, does she?
Not really.
Not really.
If you do ingest alcohol, what is it?
Well, it was an apparol spritz or two last night.
Two apparoles.
Why?
Don't yuck my yum.
No, I like her.
Is it because they're so sweet?
I just don't like those kind of fancy Spritzy spritz.
Damn,
I like beer, lager beer.
I foster.
Is that because you feel it's more gender-appropriate?
Yeah, that's a feminine concept.
So if you were in a completely neutral world and no one can watch what you drink, so there's no one around
in your gap t-shirt.
This is a gap.
Oh, shots fired.
No, he said it.
He said, I wear it.
I'm wearing a gap t-shirt.
Yes.
I don't just, I don't own it.
It's very nice.
Three for $10.
These are gap pants, I think.
Anyway.
Back to the movie.
Yeah.
Why
do you have to
see this movie?
Oh, Chelsea, okay.
Because I feel like it has a lot of magic, and we love magic.
It's an action, it's a heist movie, and and it's what we love.
It's the team back together and the four horsemen.
Yep.
And there's a few more.
There's some ingenue.
Horse.
There's ponies.
There's ponies in this.
Yes.
And they bring it, they're just fantastic.
They're the greatest actors and I feel like they just give a whole new, it kind of just reinvigorates the situation.
It's good to bring out a trainer.
Trailer is great.
I mean, I really made me want to see it because I love magic.
And I remember the other one.
Well, magic's interesting because it kind of a conflict of beliefs, right?
You watch something and you know logically why it can't be happening, but yet your brain is seeing it happen.
And I think that sort of suspension and conflict creates sort of engagement.
And how happy, I mean, in the trailer, like she's got some hope diamond or something.
Somehow, Jesse Eisberg has it, and like I've actually got the hope diamond.
It's not the hope from this from when we shot the they gave it to me.
Props gave me one.
I didn't know it was a hope diamond, but the magician tricks you and then like has a little face.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's cute.
It's the best movie.
Honestly, I loved it.
I loved making it.
I love Ruben Fleischer.
I love the cast.
and I think people are gonna love it it's like a great movie it's fun it's a good story you know finally if you told it at a dinner party if I just like you know once upon a time hit you up with the story you'd be like yeah I want to see that well the the tie-in from magic which is interesting to bank heist to distracting everyone with magic distracting for a bank it's all very cool and well done.
Yeah.
And the tricks we can do.
We have this like amazing like team of magicians.
And so everything that you see our characters do.
Do you do them?
Yeah, so one's a mentalist, Merritt Woody's character, and then you've got an escape artist, myself, Henley, and then you've got the sleight of hand, and then you've got these different types of sort of magicians coming together like a kind of Avenger group to, I guess, pull off what is this massive heist against this character played by Roswind Pike called Veronica Vanderburg.
And it is a she's fantastic.
I mean, she you saw her in Gone Girl, and you see
she's doing what she does best, that kind of arch, clever villain.
Do you split the money evenly?
No,
I got all of the money.
I gave everyone, I paid everyone, you know in snacks everyone in movie yeah just me
split the money other characters i thought you meant my uh no we're paid in cash in this podcast and our manager i hold it out and he goes now you see it now you don't

Here's a question you may have not considered.
All right, hit me.
What is the real cornerstone of health?
The one that shapes energy levels, mood, and even sleep?
According to scientists, it's the gut.
The gut is the foundation of overall health and vitality.
It's not just about digestion.
The gut affects everything from energy and mood to weight management and even longevity.
But here's the problem.
Most gut supplements only contain probiotics or probiotics and prebiotics at best.
And that's why bioma is different.
Bioma contains all three essential ingredients the gut needs.
Prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics.
And David, each ingredient is science-backed, third-party tested, and designed to work together to support better health from the inside out.
Just two capsules before breakfast.
Make it simple to take the guesswork out of feeling your best.

Did anyone go really crazy with the magic?
Yeah, Dominic Sessa is so good.
He can like throw a card across the room as hard as, you know, and then who else?
Jesse's good.
Dave's good.
Everyone, we all kind of got into it.
But you're an escape artist, so how did you practice this?
Oh, wait, wait.
You get.
The one I want you're going to tell me because you've told it too much, but I want to hear how scary water is because I'm scared of water.
Are you really?
And I'm, I saw, I'm scared of like the ocean going in, and I used to not be as a kid, now I am.
And so I read that you got in water, and I'm like, I couldn't, it would be too you've told a story before, but you had to know, I have to say, like, it's one of those stories, you know, when you do like a press tour, yeah, and you end up like you get kind of more and more worn down and tired and you start using a bit of hyperbole.
Oh, and you kind of go, yeah, yeah, because it's like, I don't know, you get sort of slightly bored.
And so I exaggerated a tiny bit, but then take it out of context, it sounds like it's still scary just to be in water in a scene in handcuffs, and you, but there was a release switch, and the water could be drained in nine seconds or something.
So I was never in any genuine peril, but it did feel like at the time that it wasn't fun when I was like, oh, my little handcluffs, the handcuffs are caught underneath like the steel bars.
And I thought, this is less Little Mermaid and more just like laser women thrashing in the tank.
Less Little Mermaid and more I'm going to dump it.
So you have a stunt double who goes and does it first, right?
Not on these.
Not on the tank handcuffs?
In this movie, we did use stunt doubles for a few tricks, but not for many.
Okay.
But I don't want to do any spoilers because really.
Don't spoil it.
You already spoiled it.
Have I spoiled it?
Watch this.
I was in a movie, The Wrong Missy.
Hey, everybody.
Oh, a few people are there.
No, I watched that recently.
One.
I love it.
You know what it is, right?
It's a billion minutes.
It did a billion minutes on whatever that means.
It was a story.
Yeah, it's the greatest movie.
I love The Wrong Missy, and the girl was so funny.
She's so funny.
So I'm in a shark tank into some dumb scene,
and then we did it in a pool first.
Yeah.
And then they go, tomorrow we do it in the ocean in the ocean I go no no no no I go in it in the ocean in a shark tank where there's sharks in the ocean but they go this should not be where sharks are in Hawaii and I go what do you what do you know where sharks are in the ocean so they had to go under the same thing so weird because a shark gets caught in the thing with me anyway very scary and I relate to your story and you know what the movie loves when I say I almost died in it yeah the movie company loves that oh they do you think they go it's so great could you keep telling the story about how how we didn't make you safe?
And I go, I thought that potentially too, but then I got a kind of weird email.
And then when we did another,
I think it's in the movie actually trailer, so I can say this, but we are in a tank again.
And when we came to shoot that, there was a lot of, is Isla okay, Isla, are you okay?
Isla, are you Isla?
Are you okay?
And I was like,
what?
I'm Australian.
I'm a surf lifesaver.
I'm fine in this tank.
I know when I had this, everyone goes, she's not going to like this.
She's not going to like this.
Water.
I didn't even get that joke.
I feel like it's very triggering.
She'll be like, what if I fell in it?
Yeah.
I couldn't.
Yeah, I couldn't.
Are Australians kind of like they seem badass to me?
You know, like Him's Worth Brothers.
Yeah.
You know, the men are, and they all do great accents.
Are you in that world where you can just.
I mean, I think there's just not much call for an Australian dialect.
So we all sort of have great American accents.
It's fucking hard.
And Russell Crowe is an extraordinary ear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Were those guys?
You run into pretty much all the Australian stars.
Yeah, yeah.
We do all hang out.
It is like a bit of a koala mafia.
It's like 60.
Yeah, it's like an Antipodian gang of like
the best ones.
We get your best people over here.
Like the best actors and actresses wind up in our stuff.
So just the ones that stay, do they want to get over here?
Was that always the idea or not?
Well, you know, they didn't used to be.
It's improved a lot, but we didn't used to have that much sort of content, original content being developed in Australia.
There are now more Australian filmmakers telling Australian stories.
And we shoot a lot, a lot of American stuff shoots there.
And we've got now like Warner Brothers on the Gold Coast.
And I think we have state-funded drama schools.
And there's a lot of money in the arts, way more money.
The government puts a lot more money in the arts.
They probably make more there than they do here.
I mean, they make more stuff there than they do in Hollywood anymore.
Yeah, well, right now, with maybe tariffs heading our way.
Whenever, you know, there's all this, okay, the world's crazy, whatever.
I always think that Australia could always move to Australia.
I know.
I don't think you could, actually.
There's something that you're doing.
Not just because of your teacher, no, but because they don't let you in.
They're really strict.
Are they really?
Yeah.
How strict.
Because I've had friends who wanted to move.
They fell in love with an Australian man.
It was like, they waited.
It's not so, you know.
Because they don't try to come ashore.
They have to go to an island first.
The immigrants, is there an island they have to go to, or is that made up?
Or do they just like row in?
No, I mean, yeah, we don't want to go on that topic.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I mean, we can, but I'm like, I don't want to be.
Oh, immigration.
Yeah, I know.
I didn't want to be the smokesperson for like anyway.
We'll just say it's hard to get in Australia.
Easy to get in America.
Woody Harrelson is such a beg of fun.
He is so fun.
I love Woody.
Yes.
And Laura, his wife.
They were great.
And yeah, and we played this really dumb game where like we would all put our hands out.
And like if we were to play this now, it's called fingers.
And I would think of a finger.
Like, so put your hands out, right?
I'm going to think of a finger.
Okay.
And then you're going to guess which finger I'm thinking of.
Okay.
Okay.
Pinky.
Who's pinky?
Yours.
Okay, so that goes down.
Oh, yeah.
You eliminate.
and then we go all the way around.
But my point is, we're addicted to this game.
It sounds so childish.
It does not sound fun.
It's incredible.
But we play it, and Woody is like, he's manic about it.
He's like, well, when are you playing the game?
Is it about you're trying to
eliminate everybody?
It's more about how we communicate.
But Dave and Woody have the best connection.
And they've honestly won like several times.
And when you win, the feeling, it could be a night shoot, could be six in the morning, it could have been a wake, could have like been on a stage in stilettos and you're miserable.
But when Woody and Dave crack it, it's nothing.
It's the idea.
It's like there's a tell, there's a tell you're giving, but you don't know you are.
No, there's it's like the idea that you just guess what somebody's thinking.
And it's just pure guess.
Because mentalists will do this with all these different tricks.
And mentalists are not.
Yeah, when they cheat, they have like little like.
Wait a minute.
They cheat.
Don't tell me.
They're magicians.
They're not really.
I know, but don't, I don't ever want to figure out magic.
It's one of the few things I, because I'm too smart.
And
that's one of my favorite lines.
He is actual.
So when you go, and I like to be tricked, it's one of the few things you go, holy shit, and I'm tricked literally every time.
And so even movies like yours, I like to watch it.
Yeah, it is.
It's a great twist in our movie.
You're going to love it.
I love it because those movies are very thought out because everyone's guessing ahead.
Yeah.
I've seen David Blaine do it in real life.
Oh my gosh, he's a joke.
Every time he does anything, I don't know.
I have no idea what's going on.
Me neither.
None.
And mentalists on TV, I've seen lately on Instagram.
And
when I see those.
It's the Rogan Show.
It's another podcast.
Look it up, kids.
They did, they guessed his phone number or his Social Security number.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, they do.
They do tricks where you go, I don't know how they do it, and I'm glad I don't.
But one time the guy goes, Here's a Stanley cup.
And then he goes,
And then at the end, he goes, Where is it?
And he goes, Check your ass.
And it was all the way up my ass.
And I didn't even feel it.
Anyway, else was there?
My car keys.
Let's look at a cup.
Four o'clock
so good that was so funny
it's good but also a stanley cup it's so ambitious it's big yeah you could have gotten a magic wand or something related once you get to the handle it's easy that's what i was at i was at where's the handle going
handle first
uh
four movies all of a sudden yeah because that's extraordinary i mean some of them i'm in small i'm only in it like one scene in j Kelly or two or three scenes oh are you in J.
Kelly?
Yeah, just a little bit.
I just did it because of Snow and Bumbach, and it was shooting in London and
Italy, and it was like an honor to be able to do that.
Oh, that's with Adam Sandler.
That's great.
Yeah, Adam Sandler, he's great.
And George Cloon, it was an amazing colour.
Did you see Adam at all?
I did.
Oh, you did?
Are you in a scene with Adam?
I mean, one scene with Adam, but his character is sort of, it's an audience scene, so we're all separate.
But I did have a nice time with him.
Yeah, yeah.
Was he all right?
He's already.
Yeah, he was really happy.
And I met him and Jackie came over.
We did the like the tech, you know, we did, I saw them at bunch.
Oh, great.
okay so spa weekend yeah that's really fun affair yeah
those two are hilarious that I'm not I think it's Mother's Day actually okay and what was that about um it's why I watched your movie The Wrong Missy because my character basically I watch in my character I play somebody in every friend group there's one friend that nobody likes and every lady friend group but they get included and invited everywhere because you know
you go what part of mine they're like the one everyone hates yeah that's but you know what i would have had my feelings hurt but when I got the offer, I was with my daughters, and they're like, Mommy, you're so popular.
Everyone loves you.
That's weird that you're cast in that.
If I hadn't had that instant gratification, I would have spiraled.
But also, you play.
I would have, because it's such a like the characters literally, they want rid of her the entire time.
I love it.
It's a funny part.
That's a good idea.
That's the so then I looked at all these kind of characters.
I didn't end up using because what I created in the end is much more like in keep it.
They made bad moms and the hangovers.
So it's like it's rated PG-13.
So it's like a moderate version of a bunch of different.
What voice did you use?
Just some American accent?
Just my American accent.
Okay.
Yeah.
Could you just go into that for a second?
Yeah, like that.
I just talk like that the whole way through the movie.
God dang.
It's so much harder, I feel, to talk Australian.
Yeah, because you really got to open your mouth wide and see your eyes and the land is wide.
Have you ever run into Paula Hogan?
Yes.
I love Hoaghie.
Still kicking around?
Hoague skis everywhere.
Yes.
Hoagsie man.
We have these galas in Australia.
Australia's in film, and we have these wonderful, like where we celebrate each other.
And, you know, because Hollywood doesn't celebrate each other enough.
So we get together
and we just want to go there.
We go, yay, we're all together, Australians.
And fucking Hoagsy comes in.
Yeah, we have a barbecue.
It's only a barbecue.
It's a knife.
I know.
He's so brilliant.
Yeah.
Everyone.
Oh, I got a question for you.
Yeah.
This is Australian trivia.
Uh-oh.
Were you at Moulin Rouge Premiere?
I wasn't born then.
God knows.
You're mad.
I was about to say
I was there, and then I just pulled it because that would make me older.
Super older.
Well, she was in.
No, I'm kidding.
I remember when it came out.
Do you remember when it came out?
Because I was there.
I went to it.
Nice.
And Baz was there.
Well, Baz directed me in The Great Gatsby, which was one of my favorite experiences on.
And you love him.
I love him.
I love him.
I love the sets.
I love the costumes.
And everyone loved Mulan Rouge.
Everybody.
And Strictly Ballroom, the one before.
I mean, everything he does.
Did that sort of blow him up, Strictly Ballroom?
Yes.
I think that was what really.
And then Moulin Rouge kind of went worldwide.
Yeah,
and then he just stayed big.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Play date, our friend Kevin James.
Kevin James.
Kevin.
Kevin, what's his problem?
What's he about?
Yeah, what's his problem?
Kevin's great.
I know.
I bully Kevin in this movie.
Is he the baby in it?
What is the best?
He plays a bit of man baby.
He's not a man baby, but he's the comic father.
How is he compared?
I don't know.
is it what parents get together for play dates for the kids is that right and i play like a mama mafia type and he comes to my park on my turf oh yeah and so i'm like what do you do i i call him a pedo it's like a bunch of like really rude jokes is a pg13
when we shot it we thought it was an ah there was a lot of fun had a lot he slung some you know insults at my character i slung some at his
he was great i loved working with him he's very very nice just yeah, very good, dude.
We did grown-ups.
He's a very nice guy.
Yeah, he did.
Playdate's a good, catchy title.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure.
Two words titles are fucking boom.
Yeah.
That's what you want.
Yeah.
Do you feel like, just getting to know you now, like you get some kind of off-kilter parts?
Like, you're going against the grain.
Yeah.
You consider yourself a character actor in a way, or both, but you seem like you can get a lot of money.
I feel like I'm a bit more of a character actor.
I feel really lucky about that.
You know who's a character actor?
Daniel Craig.
Daniel Craig.
Daniel Craig is a character actor.
Because of the movie Glass.
I was at the Oscars.
Hold on.
Yeah, keep going.
So I'm in the little bar area, and Daniel Craig's there, and he's having a martini, and he's in a tuxedo.
I said, Are you never not a character?
But he's just, he's done character parts.
Obviously, when he does the what we have here is a movie
here.
Yeah.
And then when you see him, his face can be a little goofy, or he does his bond, his whole body changes.
Yeah.
And he becomes really.
Are you interviewing him today?
No, I'm just applying you to him as people who are chameleons and can just disappear.
Believe me, we're getting a little Daniel Craig heavy for a second.
I was with you.
Daniel Craig's invited on the podcast.
He's a little like this.
No, but he makes a very handsome face.
He gets a very handsome face.
He's very handsome.
He is handsome anyway, but he does a Bond face, a prone face that just is very cool.
I'm just a huge fan of him.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan of him, too.
Even before Glass Onion, is he on stage, by the way, he's really apparently unbelievable on stage.
Sweet guy.
What?
Would you like to do that?
I'm a serious actor.
Okay, your dream part.
Your dream part.
I'm thinking Gary Oldman and Churchill.
Would you love to do something with prosthetics where you just completely disagree with it?
Absolutely not.
Oh, you say no, I don't.
Because, you know, you've got to go in so early.
And I have like a bit of ADHD, and I don't know if I could sit down and have it really applied in that way.
If you do just a nose, you could win an Oscar.
Yeah.
If you put on, you could play Ronald McDonald.
You could just just a nose.
Will you have that?
I've always had the feet, too.
I've always had very large feet.
Oh, my God.
Are we getting this?
No, I mean, they're not that.
I mean, I suppose I have small feet, but I feel like I wish my feet were smaller.
You think they're small?
Is that what you said?
I've been told they're small, but I feel like they should be smaller.
Well, what?
Do we have any numbers?
This is going to trend.
You don't understand our audience.
Oh, gosh.
I'm so sorry.
My feet are fine.
Are those suede?
They're fake.
Suede.
Okay, Dana.
Do you have a stylist?
Yeah.
Oh, I already asked that.
I'm sorry.
Are you already back to page one?
My notes are, I don't know.
Oh, here they are.
You wrote a book with your mom at 18.
Come on.
Yeah.
Is that made up?
No, that's true.
Early fiction or non-fiction?
There was like a
young YA young adult they call the genre but it had sex scenes in it and I was only yeah I was like 18 and so I hadn't even I hadn't even had a boyfriend at that point so it was quite awkward with my mom pitching quite racy things that I was she pushed you to be more sexual yeah she was like we've really got to get the characters and I was a bit like oh this there was one novel that was bewitched and
my first hand job yes I'm sorry I'm reading it wrong seduced by fame my first hand job my first there was my mom was obviously given many hands
Oh, my God.
I'm just kidding.
She's like, I hope you don't cut your line out and then just leave me with that cut.
Yeah, that's a good way to do it.
You could just throw me out.
Destroy.
Fuck yeah.
Who are your best actress buds over there?
It can be American too.
Is Chelsea one of them?
Your best actress buds

Yeah.

She's kind of off her race.
I mean, she doesn't, she's not.
She's a brilliant actress.
You don't see her a lot as herself.
She's kind of a pistol, a kick in the pants.
We don't see her.
Normal people don't see her.
No, because you know why you don't see her?
Because she lives in, at the moment, in France, in Paris.
Oh, yeah.
So she's not like...
She knows French.
Fake French?
No, I speak French.

We've got Ila Fisher on the show.
She didn't have a C in her name, Scoob, but I didn't know what to say.
You fucked up.
She noticed it right up there.
I didn't even know you could swear.
We're just G-rated cartoons.
This changes everything, Scoob.
Let's hump something.
Scooby's horny.
They said they cut it out of the final stuff, but always dry humping people.
Look what we keep calling calling this um what's not gonna offend her

Oh, is it Confession of a Shop?
I can't remember.
I didn't end up doing it.
But I am an avid fan.
Sorry.
Do you believe that they kind of make overtures after Hot Rod?
Like, hey, would you like to maybe come on the show?
Or you were going to audition, or where did it go?
The thing about Ida, you'll find that she's fair.
About what?
I'll let you know.
Fair is a good idea.
No, he's good.
But she wouldn't have been a cast member.
I mean, you're built for that show.
But you're still going to be able to do that.
I would love to
do that show.
I would love to do it.
Love, love, love.
But you could do it again.
I mean, well, I think you should host host hub right in.
Yeah, I'd love to just do a skit.
I just like to just go on it.
I just love watching it.
I've been there live.
I think you were there the night.
Did we see
the 50th?
I feel like there was a bunch of us there.
No, I didn't go to that.
But one of them, I feel like in New York ones.
Were you there with Blaine, David Blaine?
No, am I.
Oh, I went down there.
Yeah, I feel like you were.
I sometimes.
Yeah, maybe.
The after party?
the after party after party
after party a lot of the people with Boston accent in this particular area wait where did just quickly where do you and Chelsea go do you go out to dinner and drink?
Yeah, we went to Wally's we just went to Wally's Wally's in Beverly Hills yeah it was really nice the cheese plat is amazing Obviously it's like a cheese place Do you just eat cheese and then drink it?
No, we actually really broadened our horizons.
We did cappaccio We had like some of that special octopus and then we split a burger.
Oh great.
But you know what I will say?
don't let them give you the gourmet tomato sauce.
It's not good.
Just ask for the straight-up ketchup.
Oh, yeah.
Sometimes you try to gussy it up.
It's just like it loses its.
What's your self-care habits?
We're down to the nub.
Sorry.
We go back to the movie.
We've got 30 seconds.
You seem like you.
Do you do crunches?
Do you do crunches?
Do you have a skin routine?
Do you drink a lot of water?
Because I'm hearing Chelsea Handler.
I'm hearing Spritzers.
I'm hearing cheese.
But you look pretty good.
Darn good.
So you must have some habits anxiety just i get nervous and then i'm not that hungry you're not hungry yeah
and we have to before we uh get you out here and get you an uber we have to say for oh yeah for wedding crashers do you audition for that or do you get asked to do it or do you have to go in there and read oh no i read like i think five times for wedding crashers with vincent no no no with lisa beach and
is that casting yeah i don't and maybe dobkin and maybe andrew panay i can't remember is dobkin the director yeah david David Dobkin okay yep and then you go and they go crazier less crazy whatever whatever because that really I know they actually didn't see her as that crazy I think they wanted her to be more sort of like of like a sort of seductive character and then I thought it'd be funny if she was a bit more glenn close from silent from fatal attraction
and then he just was great david's so good at like letting you have like a wild take or two and then he just used i guess in the end in the edit it did work better that she was more threatening than she was.
A little unhinged.
Yeah.
God, it's such a gift when they let you.
Such a gift.
Such a hinge.
And when they give you this space, it's like one thing if they go, oh, okay, you can do a take.
But it's another thing if they like.
They give you the process where you just feel like you can take the space and you're not like annoying anyone by doing nothing at all times.
That's a worse feeling when there's everyone on the crew's watching.
When I do a take, then you do it.
All right, moving on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, come back.
All right, we're going to, we're going to.
Are you done with your tapes, everybody?
You know, that was funny, quite.
That's your one.
As long as you thought it was good.
All right,
but I would guess Vince Owen would be up for that.
And they love that.
They're laughing and good audience, too.
Yeah, and they love, and they're really fun to.
Yes.
Because they're smart enough to know if you score, they score.
It's all
if the movie works.
And Bradley Cooper was in that, which I keep forgetting
was in that.
Great in that, too.
Just another side character that's funny as shit.
Yeah.
And the combination of all that was such a hit.
That's one of those ones that lasts for a while.
Yeah, those knots.
They're hard to find.
2008 or one of those hits, those Will Farrell movies, those big comedies with those guys that are too.
They're just big, and they stick around, and they're just always on your resume.
It's nice to have one because it's, as you know, because that was probably early on.
It's just always hard as much as you go into movies like this.
It'll be a hit.
You never know.
It's hard to get one that really just
all the way through.
Stays funny through the editing, through the test screens.
You're like, holy shit, is this actually staying good?
Yeah.
That Cohen was really funny.
Yeah, and it changed actually my career because until then, I felt like I hadn't really done comedies before, and I wasn't really considered for them.
And then I got like a whole other.
Did you get a lot of do that?
Like be that girl again?
Oh, no.
I was lucky.
I had like a, I have always been with this wonderful agent for me
for 20-odd years.
And he's always like, no, well, you know, and I love to like challenge myself.
So I didn't want to.
I don't challenge myself.
And I've been doing the same part since the beginning.
But it's fine.
It's good.
You got me this doomsday shelter.
Movie stars kind of do the same part.
And someone meets you at 3 o'clock.
Somebody?
Oh, it's movie.
Somebody answers.
3 o'clock.
It depends on if I'm Pacific or Central.
I kind of do a wide net.
I just hit the Rockies in this side.
So horrible, whatever that story is.
All right, John.
Oh, goodness.
Born in Somalia.
We'll just wrap it up.
No, it said early childhood in Scotland.
Oman.
Oman.
Oman.
We were ever in Scotland.
Yes, I did spend time in Scotland.
I have a really complicated cultural identity because I was kind of born in the Middle East.
Yes.
But I was raised in Australia, and then I went to a clown school in Paris and I ended up living on
two continents over the course of
the first day of school.
Isla, you dropped one.
Clown and mime school.
Was it mime too?
I just had the feet for it.
The big is wear your own shoes.
Yeah, I didn't have to put on the big shoes.
How fun.
Mime's cool.
What haven't you done?
Written books, giant movies.
It's too much.
The resume, it's getting worse.
Start working at nine in a commercial.
Yes.
Is that an Aussie?
That's a crazy thing.
That's an Aussie thing?
No, I think I just like, I was like, when I actually was really ambitious under the age of 10, then I kind of peaked by 12.
And then went dormant.
Yeah, and then I went dormant and then I sprung back.
Do you have siblings that went into business?
No, no one in my family.
No, my mom's like an academic.
My dad worked for the UN.
My brothers are now in hospitality.
I'm the only
ginger sheep in the family.
Ginger sheep.
You're the only one with ginger hair?
No, my brother's got ginger hair.
But I just mean instead of black sheep, I...

So, Dana, you have a massive house.
Obviously, I have a little
tiny shack that's you know, it's just humble.
Is 2,000 square feet massive?
So,
so when you need home security, which a lot of people do, it's not a bad thing.
I always watch something online that shows someone got, and they always have video mount front, which is better to have video.
But could a home security system call security itself to respond if someone's already inside?
That's the idea.
Can we improve this?
Can we make it better?
Now, I guess we're about to announce there is a new way to actually stop someone from entering your home.
Right.
Simply safe, this is a little different.
You can stop it before it happens.
The idea is AI-powered cameras detect threats while they're still outside your home and alert real security agents.
And then the game changer is the agents take action while the intruder is still outside.
I like that.
They confront the intruder.
They let them know they're being watched on camera and that the police is on the way.
and even sounding a siren or triggering a spotlight if needed.
This is how you stop a crime before it starts.
You want to get them when they're outside your house.
That's real security.
I mean, listen, now and then, maybe it's someone on the sidewalk, but if someone's getting in your grill of your house,
you want to stop it before, and you got to let them know you're already busted.
You really want to do this?
And they're like, Nope.
Yep.
And they're called monitoring agents.
Simply says monitoring agents.
They got your back and they talk to the intruders, even if you aren't home.
Yeah.
No long-term contracts or hidden fees.
You cancel anytime.
Name best home security system by U.S.

Yeah.
And you know what?
It's better
because
I think something like this, these criminals, they'll probably skip your house if they have this.

So I'm very guilty of choosing convenience over nutrition, you know.
I've heard that.
When your fridge is fully stocked with greens, all good intentions, somehow a few taps on your phone later, you got takeout on the way.
Have you done this?

Or those overpriced spinach wraps from the local coffee shop that leave you feeling more regret than comfort.

Like, you sure I make a great dental hygiene.
I mean, something practical you can hang your hat on.
You get a check every week.
You think you're going to be a movie star?
Listen, little girl.
I mean, did you get some of that?
Most people do.
I swear I didn't.
It was helpful.
It was backing you out.
Because that's the first thing David said to me when we met.
I said, you're never going to make it.
He's already on SML.
He's 10 years younger.
And I was like, who is this kid?
You're never going to make it.
So, God, you've had such a cool career.
Are you friends with Prince Harry?
I'm not friends.
I've seen him at a pop concert, but I've noticed that.
Did you see Megan?
Red Hair Chat rooms.
Are they married?
That's the same thing.
Are they still married?
For a bang or a clip or something.
And I'm like
stirring cautiously around me.
I know.
We got to immigration, divorce.
I'm not going down.
Please.
No, this is
going to have to.
Is married to Megan Markle?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I did not know that.
It's in all the papers.
Oh, wow.
And they they are
the whole royal thing.
Well, you're off to London, I heard.
Are you?
A little bit.
By the way, thank you for coming in because I know you're running around.
I'm going to London tonight.
I know you came in.
I appreciate it.
No, are you kidding?
Thank you for having me.
I swear to God, I appreciate it.
I've been staying at Guy's, by the way.
Oh, is that where you stay?
Hilarious.
Yeah.
Where is there?
Noah Gallagher in the other room.
The last time I went over there, I got to see the Oasis guy.
Oh, you weren't there.
Sorry.
You were running around.
If you're, I mean, there's just people, questions I'd ask anybody.
okay?
Just pick one.
Beatles,
Led Zeppelin.
Beatles.
Oh, wow.
Beatles.
Beatles.
Pink Floyd.
Beatles.
Beatles.
You're right so far.
Eagles.
Oh, Beatles.
Beatles, Queen.
Oh.
Beatles.
Okay.
I know Queen do more diverse sounds, and they had a different era that was really fascinating, but the Beatles are just...
No, I'm with you.
a queen that even compared to the Beatles.
But a lot of people have a soft spot.
Queen is, you know, kind of almost still underground in a way.
What they achieved.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Audioly.
But the Beatles are.
Well, Queen was unreal.
It's just, it's
like, if you run into my friend Paul McCartney,
tell him, you know, now you see yourself.
Now you don't.
It's a tricky movie.
They're like, here I am.
You know, now you can't see me.
It's a real banger.
Sorry, go ahead.
I'm trying to do brilliant.
I have to get to 10 voices.
Good.
He has to get to 10 voices.
Do you really?
No, he does a lot of people.
That would be a great chalance.
Just like set that cover at the start of an hour.
You could do a liver puddle.
You could do an accent if you're given one.
Yes.
Yes.
But I do obviously study it specifically.
I couldn't just like, I'm not, I don't think I could just hear an accent and mimic it back.
I mean, I could, but it wouldn't be easy.
I don't know.
It's really continual exposure.
Since I'm constantly looking at Beatle stuff on YouTube, at night, to still
myself, I'm constantly hearing that.
Well, let me ask you.
Beatles, Daniel Craig.
Good one.
Daniel Craig is like, he's the Tom Jones.
Yeah, I can feel it.
I felt it from you.
I got that.
I got one last one.
Beatles, drowning in handcuffs.
Well, I said, hey, what's your name?
Daniel.
I ran with your joke.
I ran with your joke.
Okay, here's one for you that'll make you laugh.
Sean Conry, the late grade John, is asked whether he enjoyed his vacation
in Spain.
Ready?
Yes.
That's it.
That's brilliant.
You know what?
You can't.
It's just flawless.
You don't need more.
Yeah.
Yeah, flawless.
Three syllables out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that too.
Yeah.
Visually entertaining.
As you dislocate your head.
Yeah.
We should do an improv group called The Coconuts.
Hey, everybody.
Why would we call the Coconuts?
I don't know.
What's the word for you?
Sounds funny.
But like there's three of us.
We would have to have something that was more sort of like a triple coconut.
She's Isla.
I'm David.
There you go.
We're more of a
small bunch of grapes.
Yeah.
That's not as good.
We'll never be a coconut.
All right, well, Isla, thanks for coming by.
I appreciate your flight.
My flight's at 8.05, but I'm actually going, I'm going to pitch a movie right now.
Are you
honor?
Yeah, I'm going straight to Hello Sunshine.
From this high?
Yeah, from the highest time.
Will you just pitch us for a practice thing?
This comes out in six months.
But what if it doesn't sell and you curse me?
And what if I do my lug line and you guys are like, why would you?
No, we're not like that.
Just practice on us.
Okay, so.
Okay, we're executives.
All right, what do you got?
Actress is doing a podcast in a bunker.
First of all, we're talking about.
Podcast in a bunker.
And there's an earthquake.
So, Isla, what would you like to do in a movie?
I'm a studio executive.
Yeah, you're making me sweet.
I don't like when you're.
I'm making me squirrely.
It's going to not bring me squirrels.
Don't tell us the pitch, but
have you ever been in a general meeting and how dumb they are?
Where they go, we're setting you up with the head of Paramount because it is just a little general, and then they have nothing.
They go, no, what are you up to?
What do you want to do?
I'm like, I want to be in a big fucking movie.
Can I leave?
What is this movie?
I had one recently.
A guy says, what do you really want to do on a big platform over the Zoom?
You just send it to me.
So I sent him the script.
Scared him off.
45 days, nothing.
But he's like, we're such fans, we want it.
I sent him the script.
He'll make literally anything you think of.
He sends him a finished script.
He's like, fucking
idiots and marvels.
Written on spec.
He didn't even have to pay for the development.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Here's my guess, because
you were a mentalist in the movie, and now you see me, now you don't.
Everywhere in theaters, November 14th.
Your pitch is about, I see a young woman.
Yep.
There's a young woman who has two babies, lives in Manhattan,
and works for the New York Times.
And she undercovers a plot
to make Australia into lift it off the ocean floor and make it into kind of a boat.
Yeah, because it's on a tectonic ridge, so it becomes like a bitch.
Is that your pitch?
That's exactly my pitch.
Exactly.
And I play one of the plate, you know, the plates underneath the ocean.
There you go, you're not the woman, you're an old man, yeah.
I'm a woman.
In the end, they're friends.
It's a deeper role.
And it's very
deep.
Yeah.
Okay.
I like it.
And the end their friends.
That's the key.
That is the key.
So, you're not going to be able to do that.
And it's not men-centric.
They're not so smart.
No, it's not going to be a bunch of dudes.
Yeah.
They're not.
The smart people are girls in it.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, Dana.
We'll find something for you on it.
All right.
Thank you.
This is the longest wrap-up, but thank you for coming.
Thank you for having me, you guys.
Thanks for fitting us into your.
You know like how I had my notes when I found them?
It was dumb anyway.
I didn't really nothing.
Now you see me.
Now you don't.
Now you see me.
November 15th.
Putting.
