Kylie’s back for a brand new episode of Not Gonna Lie presented by Skittles and kicks things off by shouting out some Real One Comments of the Week highlighting a hilarious family costume idea and a behind-the-scenes clip of Kylie on The Other Podcast (2:37). Plus… Japanese Maples. That’s all.

Then, in Doomscroll of the Week, Kylie reacts to Commanders WR Chris Moore’s wife Toria Moore’s viral TikTok where she is showing him acceptable touchdown dances that won’t get him fined (4:26). Kylie shares the exact pep talk she used to give Jason about not getting fined when he was playing in the NFL. Kylie then weighs in on the phenomenon that is “the millennial pause" (8:20).

After that, Kylie brings back “Places Kylie Has *Some* Business Being” after putting on a youth field hockey clinic for girls in the Philadelphia area (12:30). Kylie talks about what it was like to be asked to sign equipment and is then interrupted by a couple of her own tiny humans (14:09).

Kylie also reveals which of the girls is most likely to cut her sister’s hair (16:55). She also asks the Real Ones to send in questions for next week's very special guest!

Kylie is then joined by Academy Award winning actress Brie Larson (22:35)! Kylie and Brie connect over their love for Disney Channel Original Movies, as well as the feeling of wanting to hide at parties (25:32). Brie gives some advice for others to feel more like a “party person” in honor of her brand new cookbook.

Brie also talks about going on tour with Jesse McCartney as a teenager and some more of her throwback roles like playing one of the Six Chicks in “13 Going On 30" (39:45). Kylie then asks Brie about the viral moment of her meeting JLo on a red carpet (32:08), the transformation of becoming Captain Marvel (40:45) and what it was like shaving off her hair for a role in a play earlier this year (45:50).

Make sure you tune into More Sh*t Monday on the Not Gonna Lie YouTube channel for more exclusive clips.

Every story you love,

every invention that moves you,

every idea you wished was yours, all began as nothing.

Just a blank page with a blinking cursor,

asking a simple question,

what do you see?

Great ideas start on Mac.

Find out more on apple.com slash Mac.

The Who's Down and Who Newville were making their list, but some didn't know.

Walmart has the best brands for their gifts.

What about toys?

Do they have brands kids have been wanting all year?

Yup, Barbie, Tony's, and Lego.

Gifts that will make them all cheer.

Do you mean they have all the brands I adore?

They have Nintendo, Espresso, Apple, and more.

What about so?

The Who answered questions from friends till they were blue.

Each one listened and shouted, From Walmart?

Who knew?

Shop gifts from top brands for everyone on your list in the Walmart app.

Not gonna lie, oftentimes when I wear my hair in a bun, much like this bun, I am told by Wyatt that she does not like my hair like this.

Welcome back to Not Gonna Lie, a Wave Original brought to you by Skittles.

Taste the rainbow or

taste the broken rainbow.

Get it?

I'm your host, Kylie Kelsey.

I know a lot of detailed facts about tigers.

If you don't know what chuffing is, look it up.

Whatever you do, don't call me a wag.

And I'm a big fan of Japanese maples.

A lot of people caught on to the fact that I changed my Instagram bio.

And let's really address why.

Because some of you mother

can sniff that shit faster than I can even explain.

I don't think people get notifications for people changing their bio, but maybe they do.

And that's crazy sauce.

I put it in my bio because

I thought it was funny and I love my husband.

Coming up on today's episode, I'm going to answer a few more of your questions for me in a brand new edition of Ask Me Some Things, featuring items in our house I have to hide from our kids.

Plus, for this week's Doom Scroll, a fellow NFL wife's take on celebrating touchdowns: the key without getting fined.

Can't wait wait to talk about it.

After that, I'm going to be joined by, you guessed it, another guest

that I have no business speaking to.

We have Captain Marvel herself, Academy Award-winning actress Brie Larson.

But first, I got to shout out our real one, Comments of the Week.

On our last episode, I said I was done with family Halloween costumes after the Little Mermaid fiasco of 2023.

This year, we might just have three Elsas.

To which At Door Winifred responded, hear me out.

dot, dot, dot, six Elsas.

Honestly?

I'm so into that.

I'm so into that.

If I could get Ellie to not be Anna,

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

But I can't have five Elsas and one Anna.

Finn is going to be Anna so that we have two and two.

Two Anna's, two Elsas.

That's the plan, though.

Who knows?

Next up, I was featured in a behind-the-scenes clip from the other podcast.

If you haven't seen it, Queen Emma, the clip, please.

That's my wife calling me.

Hello, darling.

Oh.

I meant hello, Kylie.

Darling.

Sorry.

Hello, darling.

How'd things go for you today?

What are you doing for dinner?

Eating some type of animal carcass.

Okay.

You must still be on the podcast.

I am.

A couple of the top comments from the real ones and the 92%ers.

Someone said, Jason, hello, darling.

Kylie, ew, darling, haha, love her.

Guys, I don't know how many times I have to say it.

Darling, hon, honey, dear, baby, babe.

No.

And he doesn't call me darling on a regular basis.

I want to point that out.

That was very out of the ordinary.

The other main takeaway from this clip: Kylie is all of us.

Someone else just freaking decides on dinner.

I do, I thought it was very funny reading these comments

because I didn't scroll very far, but I found that the common theme was

that everyone is exhausted.

Every

spouse,

anyone in a relationship is exhausted by the question, what's for dinner?

What do you want for dinner?

I didn't even know.

There are so many people.

She has decision fatigue.

How cool would it be?

If you asked someone, what do you want to eat?

And they looked you straight down the barrel and said, I want a salad from this store.

I want a pizza from that place.

I want a cheesesteak from you nowhere.

That'd be so cool.

Moving on, let's get right into Doom Scroll the week.

First up on Doom Scroll, Commander's wide receiver Chris Moore's wife, Toria Moore, is showing her husband touchdown dances that will not get him fined.

And I love that so much.

Queen Emma, the clip, please.

It says, showing my husband touchdown celebrations he should have done instead of launching the ball and getting fined.

For those of you who don't know,

in the NFL, there are

So many times that you will get fined.

Sorry, NFL.

I'm telling all your secrets.

One thing you are not allowed to do is launch the ball as a celebration.

You're not allowed to do that.

I don't think you're allowed to launch anything into the stands specifically.

Not allowed.

So,

as his better half, Torio was just trying to offer up better options

to show excitement and celebration that will not require you to have payroll deduct.

I do not personally know Toria,

but

that's a good idea, girl.

I love that idea.

I used to,

my husband, as an offensive lineman, was not coming into scoring opportunities and therefore was not often partaking in touchdown celebrations.

Also, he is on record saying that typically when they would make the march down the field,

he was tired.

So, like, he's not going to the end zone to celebrate when he still has to get to the sideline before the next point set up.

He's a big man.

Big men like to go straight where they're supposed to go and don't make many stops along the way.

So,

he did not have many opportunities to celebrate or create many opportunities for himself to celebrate.

But what I did often

remind him

was that if a fight broke out,

he better keep all 10 of his piggy toes

on the outside of that field.

Because you want to know another way they pop you?

If you so much as step a foot

onto that field when you were not previously on that field,

while there is a fight happening,

even if you went out there to break it up, find

dollars out of your pocket into the NFLs.

They don't fuck around with that.

They do not fuck around with that.

And now, again, I could be misrepresenting this, but this was my understanding.

If the rules have changed,

cool.

But I'm telling you, when Jason was there, that was my pep talk.

My pep talk was like, hey, doesn't involve you.

You keep your ass where it is.

Don't, don't do it.

Because as much as I would love to say that Jason would be the one that would hop in there and be the peacekeeper breaking it up,

you and I both know.

You and I both know.

I'm pretty sure he was going and swinging.

It's not.

No.

No.

Uh-uh.

To be fair.

Don't come for me, NFL.

To be fair.

Things are put in place, like launching the ball into the stands.

I completely understand why that rule was put into place.

I get it.

I get that you have to keep the peace and find everybody that wants to hop in on a fight.

I get it.

Love you, NFL.

And last thing on Doom Scroll, there's a TikTok trend right now of Gen Zers practicing their best millennial paws.

And I feel personally victimized.

Queen Emma, the clip, please.

Okay, so.

Okay, um,

so I just wanted to.

Hi, guys.

6'7?

Oh,

She said 6'7.

Okay, for those of you who might not understand the concept of a millennial pause, I'm going to give you the best explanation that I can give, which is a very broken understanding of what the millennial pause is.

But considering I often do it, apparently, maybe I'm the perfect person to explain this.

It is when you start recording a video and you don't immediately start your words

that you sort of take an extra second to think.

It might be dead space.

It might be an um.

It might be a.

So I was thinking all of these would fall under the realm of millennial pause.

Basically, it's an amount of time at the beginning of a video that

we are not providing any information,

that we have not hurried to the point,

which seems rushed.

that's the best i've got that's that's my understanding if i'm wrong

me

can we keep that

i was actually informed by some of my former field hockey players that i am

known to millennial pause

so

thanks girls appreciate you i'm gonna start doing it on purpose and i'm gonna start doing it for an extended amount of time.

A very long pause.

I feel like Gen Zer is having a problem with our pause or our lack of a sense of urgency in how we start our videos.

Is there a need for like

as fast as we can do it?

Chill out, chill out, chill out.

Take a deep breath.

You don't need us to be

speaking like a chipmunk.

Chill out.

We'll get there.

God.

Haven't you heard of

Enjoy the Journey?

Enjoy it.

Sit down.

If you don't want to stick around, guess what?

I'm going to start millennial pausing.

I'm going to start, first of all, I'm going to start making TikToks again.

No, I'm not, but we can pretend.

It's going to be the equivalent of like,

hey, so

when you guys go to get like, when you're about to get your period, and then the women will start the video that way.

And then all of a sudden, it

they pause and they're like, okay, did the guys leave?

Are you, is it just the women are left, right?

Okay, so here's what we need to talk about.

It's going to be one of those,

but with a Gen Z pause.

Good luck.

If you listen to me on 1.5 speed,

you might want to bump it to two times speed.

I listen.

I can't even say I listen.

I don't listen to myself.

If I were to listen to myself, I listen to it.

I just started.

I just started a new h.

I just started

another podcast

that if I'm going to listen to a podcast is the podcast that I would spend my time listening to.

Old depths, if you will.

I listen to it on 1.2.

So you should probably speed me up to like a good 1.5.

I mean.

That's it for Doom Scroll of the Week.

Moving on, a brand new edition of Places Kylie has some business being.

I have zero business being in most places, but sometimes there are places that, based on my experience or qualifications,

I should be there.

So I think

that my years of playing/slash coaching field hockey and the fact that I'm from here,

doing a field hockey clinic in our area is probably a place I have a little business being.

Not a lot,

but some.

Yep, that's right.

This past weekend, I put on my second youth field hockey clinic.

My first one was stick with KC, and this one was right here in Philly.

So it was stick with PHL or stick with Philadelphia.

We were able to partner with Longstreth, which is a sporting goods store here just outside of Philadelphia.

They

are the people I've been going to

for my entire life for my sports equipment.

I was asked to sign field hockey balls, shirts, sticks.

This feels...

Ridiculous.

It feels silly.

I have no business signing field hockey stick.

Don't anybody.

At some point, I literally told one of those children, this just decreased the value of your stick.

So there's that.

A peanut!

That was a quick head snap.

Did you see that?

Oh, hey, girl.

Okay, let me feed this child real quick.

Hey, mama, mama, mama.

You want to come sit in the chair?

Yeah.

Fine, don't.

You know, she plays in the corner in the kitchen and says, I'm on the podcast.

Who do you talk to on dad's podcast?

Uncle Travis.

Mom and dad are

hi smoochie kiss daddy.

Okay.

All right, you come do the eyebrows real quick for Queen Emma and then we'll be all done.

And you can go back.

Can you wink?

Nice.

Nice.

That was actually very good.

That was good.

Okay, I love you.

Hey, you didn't even look at me when you said it.

You gotta look at people you're talking to.

Listen, if you want more hockey content, just,

you know,

stay tuned.

Wonder what that means.

Okay.

Next up, let's get to the segment where I answer real questions from the real ones, otherwise known as ask me some things, because ask me anything needed boundaries, you crazy MFers.

Okay, first question from Brandy Burkhart.

Kylie, if a child knocks on your door on Halloween dressed as a Cowboys football player or cheerleader, do you give them candy or tell them to get off your lawn?

Here's the deal: if we receive trick-or-treaters, which we do not,

hypothetically speaking,

I would give every other kid a piece of candy, and then I would march my ass to the kitchen and get a box of raisins and drop that right in that bag.

Did I hesitate?

Guys, raise your kids right.

Okay, I don't know what, that's the best advice I can give you.

I'm not going to tell you how to parent your kids,

but this is where I draw the line.

So, apparently, I'm going to give them either raisins or nothing.

Ooh, maybe like an old avocado.

Next, ask me something's question is from M

Liar.

That's actually exactly how it's written.

Ask Me Something's question: Is there anything you have to hide from the girls, specifically scissors?

And which one of the older three would try to cut their hair or their sister's hair first?

This is a very easy question, so easy.

Things that have to be hidden from my children, surprisingly enough,

not scissors.

What I do have to be careful of is any type of

writing or drawing utensil.

It's everywhere.

It's on the couch.

It's on the wall.

It's on the floor.

It's on the table.

And guys, this is like

I know there's going to be a population of people that hear this and say, well, that's because you don't hem, hem, hem, hem, hem, hem.

Kiss my ass.

Kiss my fat ass.

I've tried everything.

We've sat in timeout.

We have had to scrub it up ourselves.

have had to, I mean, just now they go on lockdown.

That's our, that's our compromise.

To be fair, they are newly six,

four and two.

Their

reasoning and

decision-making, not the best, but for some reason, anything that is

smooth to go on your human body,

head to fucking toe.

It is absurd.

It's insane.

The minute they get a silky crayon,

watercolor paint, any paintbrush with even a hint of color left in it,

full face paint, a full,

full face of paint.

It's bananas.

I've had enough.

Markers striped striped like a tiger.

Suddenly, they're tigers.

Ridiculous.

I'm out.

You know who will be my child that cuts hair?

And I know it without a doubt.

And I feel like I could millennial pause this and everyone can say it together.

Bennett Llewellyn Kelsey.

She is my most mischievous child.

Jason and I are in for it.

That does it for Ask Me Some Things, Real Ones.

This is an official call to action.

Please send all the Halloween-related questions you can think of.

I'm going to be joined by a very special guest next week, and we want all the questions.

You can also ask about the family, after wax care, being married to me, Japanese Maples, Queen Emma.

I think I'm making it too obvious who this guest is.

Too bad.

Comment here on YouTube, on Spotify, or tag us on any social media at NGL with Kylie.

We're going to answer a bunch of your questions next Coming up, Brie Larson is joining me, but first, Skittles.

Real ones, if you're a type-C parent or a type-C person like me and sometimes need reminders for everything on your to-do list, consider this your official reminder to buy that candy for your trick-or-treaters.

Yep.

I also recommend adding Skittles to your bowl.

And if you've already got your Skittles and you're looking for even more Skittles-related fun, you got to check out their new TikTok series.

That's just a doom scroll away called Ghost Roommate.

That's right, Skittles is flipping the script on the whole spooky angle, and instead, hit us with a 90s-style sitcom.

Ghost Roommate follows two roommates, one human, one ghost, as they navigate life, Halloween, and their love for Skittles.

And my favorite part about each episode, it's only six seconds long.

In my opinion, some of the best internet videos of all time are six seconds long.

R.I.P.

Vine.

Fans can binge-watch the full season on TikTok in 63 seconds.

Only way it could have been better if it was 62 seconds.

Check out Ghost Roommate and grab some Skittles this Halloween.

Sitcom the rainbow.

Taste the rainbow.

She's the Academy Award-winning actress you know from Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, 21 Jump Street, Room, Train Wreck, and of course the classics like the Disney Channel original, right on track.

And 13 Going on 30, where she was one of the six chicks.

Now she's got a brand new cookbook called Party People, and she's officially not going to lie, Brie Larson, welcome to the show.

Thank you for for having me.

Oh, I'm so excited to talk to you.

I mean, really throwing it back all the way to the Disney Channel days.

And thank you for doing that.

I don't think that it would be appropriate not to list that.

Oh, it was a really big deal for me, honestly.

It was like my first big actor transformation because I had to dye my hair brown.

It was a big deal.

I love that so much.

You're like, I have to dye my hair for a movie.

But also, growing up in the generation that I did and really really understanding what a Disney Channel original movie was to us, that's a huge fucking deal.

Like it really is.

No, and you know, I auditioned for

to just get right into it, you know, I was auditioning for these DCOMs every month and I was not getting them.

Is it so crazy to think back to when you were that young?

Because you, it really, how old were you when you guys filmed that movie?

I don't know.

I want to say like 14, but no, maybe that's not even true.

Maybe I was younger.

Maybe I was 13.

I was young.

And

even just now, recalling that and remembering you getting to dye your hair for a part and getting to sort of step into that role,

that has to be such a cool memory to be able to be like, Yeah, I got to go to my friends and be like, My hair a different color.

Yeah, it's because I got was cast.

I got cast.

No, of course.

I mean, I, there's so much about when I was younger and auditioning that is so clear to me because there's such deep visceral memories.

Like, I think the way that I felt

so much pain when I didn't get something and so much excitement when I did.

It's more like as we grow up, like, hopefully we've learned how to like balance these things out a little bit more.

When I think back, it's like, I desired getting the new Nintendo console like so hard.

And I desired getting a job that was like a Disney Channel original movie.

Like, those are the things that, like, I would get heartburn at 12 years old because I desired so much.

I think I'm still seeking this thing that I experienced as a child, like, wanting something so badly and not always getting to be in charge of when you got that, you know.

Now, in terms of not knowing your fate, you knew your fate when you wrote this cookbook.

You had to know that people were going to love it, right?

People

party people cookbook.

No, I'm dealing with imposter syndrome every day almost.

I am.

It's, it's not like just because something matters to you, you know that it's going to matter to everybody else.

But

I feel very confident that what's cool about a book is that it lives on in a different way than like a movie that has like a box office opening.

Like it's more about this thing that gets to live in bookstores and people can find it.

forever now.

And I think that what it says matters and it matters beyond me and and Courtney.

And so I'm very excited for it to come out.

I would like to congratulate you on it.

Everyone should go get this book.

I say this all the time, but I famously love to hide in a corner and sometimes even at parties, I just want to like sort of melt into the wall.

I saw that you also used to not be a party person, but obviously releasing a cookbook.

called Party People.

Give me some tips here how we can move in the direction of being more more of a party person.

Yeah, being a party person doesn't mean that like you want to go to the club in Las Vegas because like I'm still not even that type of party person.

But there's all kinds.

We need people in the clubs in Las Vegas so that I don't have to, you know?

And so in a world where we're all party people, my vibe is more like, I like to host at my house.

I like games.

I like Lego parties.

And I like a party that's just two.

Like you and your best friend just like eating and bragging and complaining about the things that are happening.

It's more about recognizing that it's okay to not want to go to every single party and it's okay to be nervous about throwing or hosting.

Parties should be the place in a world where we are all stressed out and we are overworked and we are like over

overstimulated that parties can be a place where we can just drop all of it.

Part of it is like, I have so many people in my life that want to be around friends and community, but they're worried that their house isn't pretty enough or their apartment is too small.

And I'm like, no, no, and celebrate your life and all of these things.

Allow this to be a place where you're allowed to be free.

We don't get to have the same freedom every aspect of our life, but with a party, we should.

I feel like you just described the type of party, maybe the only type of party I want to be at.

The idea of like the imperfections of it are part of the best part of the party.

Like, that's so, that's, that's a warm hug.

And I want that party.

Yes, of course you do.

And whether you're attending that party or you're hosting that party, that's, I think,

where we can get to in this life is like, just to drop our shoulders a little bit and say, whatever it is that we're afraid of, we don't have to.

And,

you know, people do the thing where they're like, it's my birthday.

Don't sing happy birthday.

Like, don't, don't, don't act like it's my birthday.

And I'm like, I want to get into that.

Like, what, what is it about us that has made us then go, I don't want to acknowledge that I'm alive, that I exist, that I've done so many highs and lows.

Everything is we're celebrating everything.

Getting a pair of jeans.

I can get down with a party for that.

Yeah.

Can you imagine?

Please come over.

I found the most incredible pair of jeans.

They were on sale.

You'd be like, girl, I'm there.

And like, you hang up the jeans and everybody's like, bow down to these glorious jeans.

Like everything.

I just feel like when in doubt, you should be having a party and you're always going to be happier.

And it's, I'm talking about the type of party too, where you leave and you feel like your cup was filled up, not

you feel like you left.

Strained.

I want you to know for certain that I'm going to get this book.

I am going to find the best pair of jeans I've ever found.

And then I'm going to throw a party about it.

Yeah.

And I am going to make the photo op.

Everybody taking a picture with my ass looking bomb in a new pair of jeans.

That is right.

Yes.

I get it now.

I'm so in on this.

Now, you also did the high heel challenge while posing with the book.

And I've seen so many of these.

And every time, my question is, how?

I don't know either.

Okay.

I thought it was an optical illusion.

And so somebody was like, you should do this.

And I was like, ha ha.

Some of these were wild.

There was somebody on heels on top of their like dancing the stars trophy.

I don't even understand.

It was a disco ball, but I did it on two cans of beans that I had in my pantry.

So good.

It's so, it's like the most viral thing I've ever done in my life, which I don't know how I feel about, but

I just love.

I just love it's you, your book, and your beans.

Yep.

Literally two cans of butter beans that I had in my pantry.

I did it.

Very impressive.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Now,

right around the same time that you did the Disney Channel movie, you also signed a record deal.

Uh-huh.

I did.

And opened for Jesse McCartney on his beautiful soul tour.

That is true.

Very good journalism.

I did.

What was your reaction to hearing you were going on tour with Jesse McCartney?

I was out of my mind.

Are you kidding?

I was so excited.

I was going on tour.

I had a tour bus.

That's like

stuff of dreams.

Like that, that part of my life, this like brief part of my life where I was a pop star is like such a fever dream and so bizarre and such a weird detour.

That's so funny and weird.

And

it's just bizarre.

The whole thing is just bizarre that the music industry is.

It wasn't for me.

It didn't always feel truthful.

You tried it.

You gave it the, I mean, you gave it such a good effort that you ended up with a tour bus.

Yeah, exactly.

That's a full commit.

That was a commit.

It was a commit.

And it was great.

And honestly, impressive.

And there's that too.

Yeah.

It's funny.

I think it's really funny.

And I love,

I love music, but I like seriously love pop music.

Like still to this day.

It's like, I think it's one of the highest art forms to be able to tell, like, that's part of what I seek in my own work.

I just do it through character work, but like, to have universal messages that are told in a way that's accessible to people in a way that's like clear, but abstract enough for people to make it their own.

That's such a gorgeous art form that's similar and also completely different from mine.

And so, like, all the pop stars, those are my heroes, those are my gods.

I would not be here without J-Lo.

You just reminded me about the red carpet clip

when you are in the middle of an interview or ending your interview, and J-Lo comes up.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

And I cried.

I cried so hard immediately.

I can't do it with J-Lo.

I feel like your reaction was

what everyone else assumes their reaction would be

had they been graced with the presence of the glowing J-Lo.

Like her in front of you.

It was the perfect, it was the perfect example of exactly how I feel like most everyone's brain would be if she just glided up those steps towards them and they were just like, oh my gosh.

Yeah.

That's her.

Like she was part of my awakening to myself.

My mom took me to go see Selena in the theaters and I like bawled my eyes out.

I was like, that's what I want to do.

And so she's such a huge moment for me of where I was like, oh, that's a job.

That's what you can do.

I want to do that.

And so somehow in all of this time of my life, I had never been, I'd never seen her in person.

I mean, I'm sure there were times where we were in the same room, but I had never seen her.

And like to be there with my mom, I don't know if in the clip you can see my mom at all, but like my mom's crying.

I kept turning to my mom.

She's like, I know, honey, I know.

Like, we were both just like,

you know, my childhood, me, like, couldn't believe it.

That's such a beautiful moment, though, to be able to, to say that to her.

Like, to be able to, to be able to express your gratitude in being able to be a fan of her and what it meant for your career?

Oh, no, that's the best.

I mean,

I still am in the habit of like writing an email to people when they do something, whether it's music or a painting or a movie that I feel like really gets me.

I'll write a note and thank them.

I actually think unless

Unless you're somebody that's like, I don't know, even

artist, you have to like be perpetually on tour, I think, to be in relation with human people saying thank you for me a movie comes out it's hard for me to grapple with what that success if it is success what that even looks like because you're not in dialogue with people the movies are like out in theaters i'm like hiding at home those conversations are happening independent of of you they're happening removed you sometimes miss that something that you did mattered to somebody.

And so even for J Lo, there's moments where she has self-doubt.

I am where i am because of that to tell her that and also like how amazing it is to be able to say that like artist to artist like now here we are like walking the same floor like that's so cool that's such a kind thought to be the type of person who

wants to share their gratitude because i think you're absolutely right it is a a feeling that it's i i can only imagine that it is

overwhelmingly positive and also few and far between when you reach a certain level of success that people probably just assume that you are so secure and so happy with everything that you wouldn't still appreciate those those finer moments of gratitude that you were able to express to her absolutely absolutely and about the artistry too like for the art it's one thing when like a when you personally can inspire somebody which you know her work ethic does that too but i also

um

I also love it's part of why like as somebody who's quite introverted and I get nervous and I like my privacy and I'm not like the greatest when it comes to being like the public person that I am but I've found that I really get a lot out of these like meet and greet and fan events which I started doing a couple years ago because you get to then have that face-to-face time and you learn like what a character did for somebody and how it moved them in their life or shifted because i'm going through my own stuff in my life too for anyone unfamiliar with my minivan saga let me quickly give you the spark notes here first i was vehemently against driving one but then i realized i was about to have four children five and under and therefore four car seats my husband wanted one my kids were all about it so i caved and now i kind of love my toyota sienna and she's green go birds now that you're caught up the toyota sienna has definitely been a game changer for us this fall as the girls have started school and I've been coaching field hockey.

I can't stand how much I enjoy the fact that the girls can independently climb in and out of this car, that they love pressing the button to open the doors, that they can get in safely, that I can vacuum up all the goldfish that are all over the floor.

You know?

And then I have the trunk space to make sure I can fit a wagon so that they can all be contained wherever we're going, because that's important.

It's also available in all-wheel all-wheel drive, perfect for Philadelphia winter coming up.

Check out a Sienna for yourself and go for a test drive at your local Toyota dealership today.

We were talking about throwbacks,

and one of the throwbacks I would love to bring up to you is 13 Going on 30 because it's a movie that I deeply enjoy.

You were one of the six chicks.

Do people still bring up this movie, or am I the only one?

No, people do.

I think it was one of those things that people used to bring interviews when, when

because it'd be one of the top credits that would come up if you looked me up, just because that movie is so popular.

But, like, I think I only have one line.

I just go,

Yeah.

And so we're also nostalgic.

And so, like, we're going back and like watching these movies again.

And then it's like

delightfully funny to see,

you know, however old I was, 14-year-old Brie in like this crazy 80s hairdo.

It's amazing.

And again, I remember feeling so

just excited.

You've been in so many huge movies ever since, including Captain Marvel, which was actually Marvel's first women-led movie, which is crazy.

I read you weren't sure if you wanted to take on that role at first.

Did you ever think you'd be playing a superhero?

No.

No.

No.

Because that is unbelievably badass.

I didn't think that was part of my path.

I thought if I could just do small, interesting, like best friend roles, character roles.

I never, ever, ever thought that I would lead a movie.

It just felt very clear by how long I'd been auditioning and not getting things that that wasn't my path.

But as I was getting in my 20s, I started thinking, well, maybe I started to get interesting roles in indie films in supporting characters.

And I was like, well, if I can just do that, that like gives me just enough to pay my bills.

And I tend tended at that time to prefer the supporting roles to the leading roles.

I thought they were more interesting.

And then Marvel was calling.

What the heck?

Like, I had gone from the studio system wasn't casting me in anything.

They were always like, oh, you can't be in a movie because you haven't been in a studio movie.

And you're like, what?

Like, how, how am I supposed to do this?

And so to suddenly be thrust into this like incredibly secretive, massive fandom of a world.

And after I spoke with the heads at Marvel,

I really believed in what the character was.

My hesitancy was I didn't think that I Bree could handle the fame that came with it.

And so I just started saying, okay.

I will, I am going to do this because I know that this character is for me and I am meant to do this character.

And so as I prepare to play this character, I'm also going to prepare Brie.

And

it's been great.

There's no downside.

And I got to do what I felt like was my contribution to that corner of the artistic world.

And so it was great.

It's amazing to,

before this, I was reading about the transformation you made.

prepping for Captain Marvel.

It's amazing to hear that while that was happening, you were also going through

an intense transformation of how you were preparing for that to hit.

And

two sides of that, it's so amazingly self-aware to recognize, like, I need to do the work to prepare for this

excitement,

but also

to know that

the role that you were about to play was so meaningful

and to a fan base that is so strong and passionate that it was going to hit hard

yeah well that i don't think i could have

i couldn't understand that prepared for yeah no no that's like if you've lived your life basically an anonymous person that nobody really notices to suddenly

being like a thing

you're thrust into a conversation that

you're like, oh my gosh, I'm just here.

That's not, I'm not part of that conversation.

Everybody else can have that conversation.

If I ever started to feel overwhelmed, you know, suddenly it's like, I've got a bunch millions more Instagram followers, whatever, these things that happen, oh my God, this is so much.

And I'd start to, you panic, and you're like, oh my gosh, I'm never going to be able to go to the grocery store again.

I'm never going to be able to buy my own apples or whatever.

And then I go to the grocery store and like,

no one cared.

The day that Captain Marvel

came out, I was on the press tour for it in New York City.

We had like a little break in between interviews.

I went and took a walk and I went to bikini wax

and

no one cared.

To be clear, I want to be clear because you caught out for a second.

You said you went and got a bikini wax?

I did.

I don't know that there's a more grounding,

like, let me make sure I can still feel something.

Yeah.

Let me make sure I'm not completely numb.

Yeah.

Let me get a bikini wax.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was an outstanding thought.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I did discover that my bodyguard was secretly following me the entire time.

He's like family to me.

He obviously didn't walk into the appointment, but I think knew where what building I walked into.

So I thought walking around by myself, but I still had that little bit of secret support behind me.

So I did have that.

But I was free as far as I knew.

No one cared.

That's perfect.

Now, while we're talking about transforming for a role, I absolutely love your hair.

And I saw that you initially cut it for a play that you were in earlier this year.

Is that right?

Yeah, I buzzed it off.

So now it's just like growing back and it's kind of like in various stages of awkward growout.

But I'm sort of like, that's life.

How does it feel?

To buzz?

I'm so...

Yes.

It's nice.

I mean, it's just, you don't realize how much time you spend shampooing and brushing your your hair until you buzz it off.

It's it was it freeing?

Yeah, it was.

I mean,

I kind of then just got into skincare because I was like, I felt like I had nothing to do anymore.

Like, I've always been like a shower person.

Basically, you step in the shower and I'd be like,

there's nothing to do in here.

I have time on my hands.

I had a lot of extra time on my hands.

I mean, I stupidly brought with me to London, I brought shampoo and conditioner.

I was like, wow.

It was great.

I mean, it was very freeing and it was also emotional too.

It was far more more emotional than I thought it was going to be.

It was my idea to shave my head.

I'm very used to having to do things that are not me

and you have to live with them outside of being on set.

But the buzzed head was

more emotional than I realized.

Being out in the world with a buzzed head has like people have a lot of different feelings about that, about what that means.

And it's a very like aggressive.

look.

So not how I present myself in the world and like, oh, geez, I have to like buy new clothes because none of my like Dough and Prairie dresses make any sense with this buzzed hair and like it just I had to move in this other direction and like, you know, go to dinner with friends with with a buzzed head that felt foreign to me in the winter.

I was just going to say, how many hats did you buy?

Bonnets.

I had to do bonnets because you want to like cover everything.

Don't really intend to do it again because the growout process has been, oh, it's so annoying.

Hair really grows slow so the the key the goal here is to grow it out because i do think the pixie looks incredible i like it no i like it now that it's like and now that i can put like like a bobby pin in it i'm like woohoo you know it's a long ways away from needing a hair tie but you know at least i can change it up a little bit i i do like it um

but i've always just i keep growing my hair until i have to cut it for a job it's just the simplest it makes it easier i don't know what character i'm going to play and so you just go grow it until someone tells you otherwise.

Exactly.

Now, my last question for you.

I always like to ask my guests about great advice that they have received.

What is the best piece of advice for the entertainment industry that you've ever received?

Oh my gosh.

You know, it's always a funny one because we don't really go around giving advice.

But

I would say the thing that I really do live by is something that Sam Jackson says on set all the time.

I've done like four movies with him and he's like my bestie.

And the thing that he always tells people is he says,

don't get in the way of my fun.

And

I love that.

And I realized now how I've approached my work too, which is like.

My job is a team sport.

I am on a set with a lot of different people.

Come here to have a good time.

Don't get in the way of my fun.

And I think everybody can have that.

You can apply it to life.

I think so.

I think everybody can say,

with all the love of my heart, don't get in the way of my phone.

I cannot thank you enough, Brie, for chatting today.

Her brand new cookbook, Party People, is available now.

Thank you so much.

No, thank you.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.
