So I was like, so I missed one show, and he went on. He was fantastic.
Oh, my God. So

Speaker 1 You're still sucking. I'm still sucking.

Speaker 1 I just wanted to get that audio clip. And Klaus, can you copy and paste that and thin in the file that I've got going of these guys saying to me?

Speaker 3 Is that a sound meme?

Speaker 2 I'm really punchy today. I took a valium last night just so I could sleep.

Speaker 1 And I was like...

Speaker 3 Are you still up? Did it not work?

Speaker 2 Yeah. No, it worked, but I'm just like, hey, how's everybody doing?

Speaker 3 You just have like a loose bottle of valium hanging around.

Speaker 3 Well, I don't understand

Speaker 1 is there like uber drugs that you just pop over you not understand how prescriptions work yeah no i take one every few weeks what what's the prescription look like on that what do you mean it's a it's a valium yeah but why do you have it because like i i if i have trouble sleeping like every several weeks like i take one every couple months just to get back in the sleep habit that's a sleep aid huh for me it is did you know what a sleep aid is jb yeah it's called, what's it called?

Speaker 1 Gummy. Ganja?

Speaker 3 Ganja, gummies, ambien, Xanax. I had not heard of the Valium.

Speaker 1 I thought Volume 16 was a nice thing.

Speaker 1 Last time I talked to Jason after 7 p.m., he was like, Iri, man.

Speaker 1 That sounds Iri. Let's talk tomorrow.
Greetings in the name of his emperor I Seracia. I'm like, buddy, can you play golf tomorrow or not?

Speaker 2 No, Jay, Valium's like, it's the same family of Xanax and all those.

Speaker 1 That's a real fun family, by the way.

Speaker 1 It's like the Manson family.

Speaker 2 It's the only family that would accept me.

Speaker 3 Oh, we're saving a seat for you, Sean. Oh, Seani.

Speaker 1 Good luck, buddy. Hey, listen.

Speaker 1 I'm feeling really punchy today, too. It's so hot out here on the East Coast.

Speaker 2 It's unbelievably.

Speaker 3 Can you get it cooler before I get out there, Willie?

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. It's so, it's so, so hot.
It's so thick. Very thick.
And I was just riding my bike into town and I was like halfway there. I was like, this is a bad idea.
It's really hot today.

Speaker 1 But anyway, I'm really excited though to be back here, to be back inside, to be talking to our guest. I'm excited.
Our guest.

Speaker 1 I'm such a fan of our guests, and I'm also a personal fan of our guest.

Speaker 3 It's better not be a funny person. This is a classy person.

Speaker 1 This is a funny person. Well, she is.
She's both. She's very classy and she's very funny.

Speaker 1 And I think that she started much more sort of serious is my, just based on her credits and the movies she did and the shows she did, and then started to get into comedy.

Speaker 1 And it was just an absolute home run when it comes to comedy, but then can kind of flip back and still do the serious stuff, which is really, if it wasn't so admirable, it'd be annoying.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Double threat.

Speaker 1 All the while being like a really cool person. We've never really worked together, except for we did represent a country once together.
And I'll explain that in a second.

Speaker 3 So she's Australian. She's Australian.

Speaker 1 She's in the pride of Australia. We know her from so many

Speaker 1 shows. I love Roseburg.
It is Roseburn. Yeah, I love Roseburn.

Speaker 3 Hi, Rose.

Speaker 3 How's it going?

Speaker 3 Is that a cute short haircut?

Speaker 1 Or we got it all up in the bottom?

Speaker 4 I've just like a top-knot.

Speaker 3 Well, you look how good you'd look in a Bob.

Speaker 1 You look good in a Bob. It does look like I've kind of got a Bob, doesn't it? How's it going? Hi, how are you? I haven't seen you for so long.
Roseburn, where are you right now? Hi, friend.

Speaker 1 I'm in Brooklyn. Oh, Brooklyn, New York.

Speaker 4 Yeah, Brooklyn, New York. I'm on the East Coast.
Yeah, I just got back from Australia,

Speaker 4 the country we both represent. Sure.

Speaker 1 That's what come about. Can we stop there? Well, she allowed me to come along for the journey.
She was really representative. Well, tell people what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 Rose, there's no shortage of really talented, handsome, funny men that are actually Australian.

Speaker 3 So how far down the list do you go before you hit American and then to get to Will Arnett on the American list?

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. So, do you know what I mean? It's all being Canadian.
Canadian. Yeah,

Speaker 2 it's a spot that you both did, a commercial that you did

Speaker 2 for travel to Australia, right?

Speaker 1 It was a campaign for tourism Australia. Thank you, Sean.
Just in case our audience was confused, who gives a shit if they know what we're talking about or not when it comes to this?

Speaker 1 They don't need to know everything.

Speaker 3 How do we cast Will Arnett in that rose?

Speaker 1 Well, it was just my voice.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it was

Speaker 4 playing in American. The character is

Speaker 4 this foreigner, American who comes in,

Speaker 4 And it's a, yeah, it's just a, he's a unicorn.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Truly? I am.

Speaker 1 And my character is too. Yeah.

Speaker 3 So you play an animated, an ant, you play an animated American unicorn.

Speaker 1 What a commercial. That's true.

Speaker 3 Do you, do you do an Australian accent, Will, at all?

Speaker 1 I guess. I mean, I don't really.
I don't.

Speaker 2 A very good one.

Speaker 1 No. Can you do one? You probably can.

Speaker 2 Yes, he does a very good one. Do it.
Just a little.

Speaker 2 Come on, you're in front of the green screen.

Speaker 1 There's a...

Speaker 3 Oh, that's a knife. You love doing the knife one.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, that's not a knife. This is a knife.
Yeah, that whole thing.

Speaker 1 I mean, I get into it. But then it becomes a whole thing about the dingo and it ate my baby and all this sort of stuff.
And

Speaker 1 I don't want to get off track here, you know.

Speaker 1 Because then.

Speaker 3 Wait, what movie was that from? Wasn't that Nicole Kidman?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 No, Meryl, Meryl Streep.

Speaker 3 Myery Streep said with a straight face.

Speaker 4 There's a really famous but very infamous case in Australia about a woman who was jailed for murdering her child, Lindy Chamberlain.

Speaker 3 And she tried to blame it on a dingo.

Speaker 4 And yeah, well, and they didn't believe her, and she became this sort of national kind of witch hunt for her. And then she eventually was acquitted many years later.
But it was a famous film with

Speaker 1 her big defense was,

Speaker 4 yeah, defense was the cry in the dark.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 4 that's what it was called.

Speaker 1 It was sort of an Australian equivalent of Where's the Beef? I think.

Speaker 3 It was not a comedy.

Speaker 1 She said that seriously.

Speaker 4 Oh, she found the laughs. Meryl found the laughs.

Speaker 1 But it was a very serious case. And we're not downplaying the seriousness of what happened.
No, no, no, no, no. So just so again, spare us your letters.

Speaker 1 We don't want to hear it. We were just joking about it.
But

Speaker 1 so that's where Rose and I, that's where Rose and I met. And I was just, I was absolutely immediately delighted to work with Rose.
She's so professional, but

Speaker 1 forget the work. She's such a cool, you're such a cool, fun person.

Speaker 1 And so exactly what I hoped you would be, which is like super down to earth and cool. And I was like, and super talented.
And you're like, wow, some people got it all.

Speaker 1 And then, you know, I work with these guys and some people have none. So, but the point is,

Speaker 1 it was just such a delight to get to know you. And I'm such a fan of everything you've done, which is a lot.
And when I start to go through all your things. I thought I was going to say, except for.

Speaker 1 No, I was going to say, so what happens is when I was knew that you were coming on today and I'm going through all this stuff, I'm like, oh, yeah, Rose was in that. Oh, yeah, Rose was in that.

Speaker 1 I mean, you have made countless films and television.

Speaker 4 Making the hay, guys, making the hay.

Speaker 1 Got it. You got to keep the answer.

Speaker 4 You got to just crunch it on.

Speaker 1 So, what was the first, what was the first one? What was the big, what was the first professional gig that you can remember?

Speaker 4 The first job I got paid for, I did this movie called

Speaker 4 a pretty strange little movie called Dallas Doll, not to be confused with Debbie Does Dallas.

Speaker 1 No, sure.

Speaker 3 No, no, no. Or North Dallas 40.

Speaker 3 Dallas Doll.

Speaker 1 I'm seeing a poll.

Speaker 3 It's a gold pole. It's shiny.

Speaker 1 No?

Speaker 4 No,

Speaker 4 it was a cool little script. And I play, Sandra Bernhard came out to do it to Australia in like the early 90s.
And I auditioned and got this part.

Speaker 4 But I had started acting classes like youth at a youth program here in sydney when i was like eight years old and then a casting agent came to one of my classes and cast me in this movie

Speaker 1 so so you so you you had this did you and you ended up going to

Speaker 1 you you did this acting class did you end up going and studying acting as well like in a in like an academy i did well i didn't get into nida which is like the sort of you know

Speaker 4 most sort of well-known Australian, the National Institute of Dramatic Art, which has, you know, very famous alumni. But I didn't get in, guys.

Speaker 1 Didn't get in. No, no, no.

Speaker 4 So I just.

Speaker 1 By the way, they're kicking themselves now.

Speaker 1 And by the way, if you know in Australia, they kick themselves the other way.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they kick the other way. Not a lot of people know that.
Not a lot of people know that. They kick the other way.

Speaker 4 But you know, I've worked with Jason too. I've worked out two out of three of you guys, which is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 This is where I leave you. Yeah.
Oh, this is where I leave you. That's so nice.

Speaker 4 How long ago was that?

Speaker 3 That was the comedy about sitting Shiva.

Speaker 4 Yes. That's right.
With Jane Fonda.

Speaker 3 The Sean Levy vehicle. Sean Levy, the great Sean Levy, Adam Driver, Corey Stoll,

Speaker 1 Tina Faye.

Speaker 4 Amazing cast, wasn't it?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 amazing cast.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we had a great, great cast.

Speaker 1 So, so, but so to go back, so you go back, you get this, you get this movie with Sandra Bernard, and she flies all the way to Australia. You do this movie, then what happens?

Speaker 1 That movie comes out, and you're like, I'm set.

Speaker 1 Death, download this baby. What's it going to do?

Speaker 2 Literally just stared at the phone.

Speaker 4 Ready to roll.

Speaker 4 Then, no, like I finished high school and I started auditioning for other TV jobs and stuff in Australia and I got a few bits and pieces.

Speaker 4 And then when I was 18, I got cast in this film called Two Hands opposite Heath Ledger, directed by this wonderful writer-director, Gregor Jordan. And that film was a really big hit in Australia.

Speaker 4 And that was like, you know, a sort of turning point, I suppose, for me back home.

Speaker 1 So that was in like 99, 98 98, or something.

Speaker 4 I was like pretty young, and so I was Heath who was like a teenager.

Speaker 1 So, you have this big hit in Australia, you're like, I'm out of here.

Speaker 4 Then, I did the classic thing of going to LA to just try to audition for years, like trying to get an agent. I remember I got my first agent,

Speaker 4 and I was so excited. I was like, I'm all set.
I've got this agent, she's really great. She's got a great client list, and she signed me off the movie and

Speaker 4 went back to Australia. Never heard from her again.

Speaker 1 Never heard from her.

Speaker 1 Name her right now. Name her right.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Where's the great Bobby Connavali this morning?

Speaker 4 Bobby, he's well, he's unpacking. He's because we just got back, so he's like in the trenches with the kids unpacking.
But he says hello to all of you.

Speaker 2 Yes, and Bobby Canavali, who was on Will and Grace forever, playing Will's boyfriend. Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 And we played, he played, he played my superhero boss or super villain boss in the thing with Melissa McCarthy where I had crab arms.

Speaker 1 How did you guys meet? Bloody funny.

Speaker 4 We met through an actor called Tate Donovan, who was on Damages, which is a show,

Speaker 4 a TV show I did with Glenn Close

Speaker 1 for a long time. Yes.

Speaker 2 And Marty Short was on that too. And Glenn Kessler.

Speaker 1 Yes. And Glenn Kessler and Daniel Zellman.

Speaker 4 Dan Zellman was one of the creators.

Speaker 1 Daniel Messing used to be married.

Speaker 4 Look at all these connections. Look at all that, guys.
We're just crunching it out.

Speaker 1 Look at this

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 3 now where are uh is is is bobby juggling that you have two young boys right yes yeah and he has a third boy um jake who is 28 yes oh my gosh so he's got boys boys boys yeah wow how do you guys do it you guys both work so much i mean i i'm sorry if you get this question a lot but it is just i don't know how people do it where you got two young kids and both parents are working all the time out of town um it must be tough.

Speaker 3 But are they both now in kindergarten or first grade?

Speaker 4 Yeah, they're both like sort of in, but they've been, it's like, I had, I've had a job.

Speaker 1 It makes it harder, right?

Speaker 4 It's hard, yeah, because then they're in school, but it's a little bit case-by-case basis.

Speaker 4 I don't know about you guys with your families and children and stuff, but a little bit case-by-case, just do your best, like trying to get away.

Speaker 3 Right, sometimes the summer they can come, but yeah.

Speaker 4 A little bit, and they've gone to schools in LA on and on, you know, so it's like a little bit of that kind of, but it gets older, it gets harder, pardon me, as they get older, right, Will?

Speaker 1 it get harder? It does get harder, and it's a lot more of a negotiation. And because what happens is they have friends.
Yeah. Jason knows this too.

Speaker 1 They have friends, and they're like, you're like, hey, we're going to do this. And they're like, no, man, I want to be with my buddies.
Right. And we don't care about your thing.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Craft service is great.

Speaker 1 But I know. That's such a draw card, right? They love that.
They talk about that. They just go, I don't want to go back to the table with the snacks and the thing.

Speaker 1 How is that?

Speaker 1 I'm going through a thing right now where my 14-year-old is on a trip and I haven't talked to him for three and a half days now because he's not allowed to use his phone. Oh, wow.
And I am suffering.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I bet he's having a great time and I am going crazy.

Speaker 1 Wait, Will, Will, you have no idea.

Speaker 3 You have no way to check in with him yet?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 Don't have like a chaperone yet?

Speaker 1 When he got there, when he got there, he was able to check in and he FaceTimed, I FaceTimed him and it was great. And then he checked in again later.

Speaker 1 He was like, hey, we got to give up our phones now because the deal was on this trip that everybody gives up their phones and that these guys, these sort of counselor guys, take them.

Speaker 1 And so we're like, yeah, this is really good. Meanwhile,

Speaker 1 my ex and I were like, this is great. This is great for him.
And now three days in, she and I are texting each other and be like, how do we

Speaker 1 text each other? What about the chaperone?

Speaker 3 Can you text the chaperone?

Speaker 1 I mean, we can. We know that he's, we know he's okay.
We've gotten word and stuff. He's fine.
And right before he gave up his phone later of the first day,

Speaker 1 I tried to cram another FaceTime in. Less.
And he was like, Dad, I can't pick up the phone. What are you doing?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just

Speaker 1 making sure. Will, I know,

Speaker 1 I know. That's a little archie.
Oh, big boy.

Speaker 3 Guys, Will's sweet. I know he doesn't seem sweet, but this guy got a real soft, chewy center.

Speaker 1 You're all sweet.

Speaker 3 All right, Rose, what's going on this summer? Um, do you have any time to take any family trips aside from Australia?

Speaker 4 Well, this was a pretty big one. It was like a month.

Speaker 4 I was in the Outback.

Speaker 1 Will. I thought of you.
I was in the Outback. Yeah.
Were you in Uluru? Were you in Uluru?

Speaker 4 We went to Uluru, which is this gorgeous, I mean, incredible,

Speaker 4 very sacred spiritual site out in the

Speaker 4 middle of Australia. It's wild.
If you ever get a chance to go, any of you, please, please do go.

Speaker 1 So, what's so funny is when Rose and I did this thing, we actually had this friend of hers who directed it did all this, shot all this incredible footage all over Australia.

Speaker 1 And so, so, and then we kind of narrated our way as we as our characters went through with this great footage. So, I, it feels like Rose and I have been on a tour of Australia together.

Speaker 1 That's why she's like, We were in

Speaker 1 the middle of the day, buddy. Remember, do you?

Speaker 2 I have dumb, dumb questions. Do you miss it when you're not there? Like, do you tell the family? Just to go back to the business.

Speaker 1 Have you ever been? I've never been. I want to go.

Speaker 1 You've never been to Australia? I've never been. It's a very long flight.
Have you, Jason?

Speaker 3 I have a bunch of times.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I love it. I love it.
I love.

Speaker 1 I would love to go there.

Speaker 3 I will say, though, and this might be controversial.

Speaker 1 When you fly that long,

Speaker 3 you would love for it to be

Speaker 1 equal.

Speaker 3 You would like the distance, you would like the difference of the locale to be equal to the distance of the flight. You know what I mean? Like, in other words, it's very similar to the U.S.

Speaker 3 in that people speak English and they look sort of Anglo and they're all kind of, except they drive on the other side. It's a little bit like Canada

Speaker 1 to me,

Speaker 3 which is great.

Speaker 1 I love Canada, but I can get there in an hour.

Speaker 3 You know, just I can go north into Vancouver.

Speaker 1 I feel you were underwhelmed.

Speaker 4 I'm getting a feeling.

Speaker 3 No, but I guess in fairness, I was in Melbourne and in Sydney a lot, but I haven't been to the Outback. I haven't been up in Brisbane.
I haven't been to Surfers Paradise.

Speaker 1 You were in the city, and that makes sense. And I think, look, this is a problem that we have in the world in general, which is all the cities have become so it's the same stores in every city, right?

Speaker 1 Like, you can go, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 you can go to Paris, or you can go to Tokyo, or you can go to London, or you can go to St. Louis, and there's a Fendi store.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you know what I mean? And Sean, good news, there's a theory there and a couple of chunks.

Speaker 2 Oh, fantastic. I'm in.
I don't mind the flight.

Speaker 3 There's a great rose. You can get into a Vince.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Sean. I didn't have a saint of Vince in Australia.

Speaker 1 That's a stretch.

Speaker 1 We'll be right back.

Speaker 3 All right, back to the show.

Speaker 2 But Rose, like, like when you go, when you go there and come back,

Speaker 2 what is the culture shock? When you first move, like, what is the difference between

Speaker 1 i mean people still going on the vids

Speaker 4 what is the thing that you notice the most what are the differences you notice the most about australia and the us well australia is a little more laid back i think in general the people are probably a little bit more laid back and it's just a bigger it's a bigger this place is just you just can't compete with the scale and the amount of people and the like you know things like australia feels it's it's just a smaller population it's like and then culturally

Speaker 4 and it's

Speaker 1 just looks hot.

Speaker 3 Yeah. But only during our winter.

Speaker 1 Only during our winter. It can be, but you also like the people, like there's just in that same sort of way that the English have the same sort of thing.

Speaker 1 And I think Canadians have this a little bit as well, maybe a Commonwealth thing. There's just people have a better sense of taking the piss out of each other and themselves.

Speaker 1 They don't take themselves as seriously as Americans do. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 On the whole. And I know that that's a very sweeping generalization.
So again, hold back your fucking letters. But I think

Speaker 1 that there is that thing about you don't take yourself too seriously. And that's fun.
There's a kind of, it's very fun.

Speaker 1 All the people I know in Australia, I guess a lot of them are sort of actors and comedians and et cetera. But there is that kind of fun vibe.

Speaker 2 Do you feel like they're more a united

Speaker 2 country than we are?

Speaker 4 Ooh, that's a good question. Oh, look, it's definitely...

Speaker 1 How do I get real with her, dude? I'm serious.

Speaker 1 Because it's smaller.

Speaker 2 Everything you're saying, Will, I just thought, like...

Speaker 3 I was going to say, though, it sounds like there's a lot more common sense sort of policies and way of living there than perhaps we get into here just because of the

Speaker 3 opposite sides of things. It's very separated here, at least right now.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I think the vision here at the moment is pretty extraordinary and pretty like it's not as... It's not as extreme.

Speaker 4 Australians are used to government in their life a lot more than Americans are. So for instance, you know, you all have a speed limit.
Everyone took the vaccine without any problem.

Speaker 4 You know, things like that. It's just more used to that involvement.
You know, healthcare is free, all those sorts of things.

Speaker 4 So it's like, it's just a very different mentality of government in your life.

Speaker 3 Very similar to Canada.

Speaker 1 Very similar to Canada.

Speaker 2 Roseburn, by the way, I saw you and you can't take it with you.

Speaker 1 Oh, you did? You were fantastic. Yeah,

Speaker 2 I love that show. It was my first show I ever did in high school.
Oh, really?

Speaker 4 That's what everybody would say to me.

Speaker 1 They're like, I did this in high school.

Speaker 2 It was like, yeah, but to see, to see it professionally done like that, it was fantastic james or jones like

Speaker 1 you've done it well you i was gonna this is what i was getting into you've done a lot of theater in fact and you didn't you and bobby did medea and band

Speaker 4 God, any theater stories? I mean, I've had that person, like, you know, have a heart attack in row three, you know, and then carry it over the paramedic.

Speaker 4 This was in Australia when I was doing a play and that to come in. And like, we were still like doing the scene.

Speaker 4 It was three sisters, the check-off play, and then somebody, you know, all of a sudden, the person just starts going

Speaker 1 like that and just bumps over. And

Speaker 4 we kept going. It was really weird.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I was going to say,

Speaker 3 you finished the show.

Speaker 1 It was weird.

Speaker 4 We finished the show.

Speaker 1 Not only did we finish the show.

Speaker 1 We didn't stop the scene. Keep going.
We didn't stop the scene. It's Australia.
They're like,

Speaker 1 unless you've bitten by a snake, you just keep going, right?

Speaker 3 It's the snakes that stop things in Australia.

Speaker 1 Most powerful. But did you keep going with the plan? We kept going.
We kept going.

Speaker 4 And this poor older gentleman, I think, yeah, they came in and they took him out, and everybody stood up and they put him on the stretcher and took him out. Sure.

Speaker 1 It was. Did they check him for an overdose of Vegemite? Because I know that

Speaker 1 that can be sometimes.

Speaker 3 High high sodium content. Do people still say fair dinkum?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 4 I don't think so. I mean, I'm sure they do.

Speaker 1 It used to be a big one, right?

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's a little bit dated, the slang.

Speaker 4 What does it mean?

Speaker 3 Fair dinkum means like really?

Speaker 1 Or is that right?

Speaker 3 Isn't that a replacement?

Speaker 1 Remember, Rose, when we did that thing, we did that Q ⁇ A and they asked me some Australian, they asked me fair dinkum.

Speaker 1 And I said that that's fair dinkum is a term that's used to describe like somebody who's okay to hook up with. It's a fair dinkum.

Speaker 1 That I've never heard, but I like it.

Speaker 1 I thought Fair Dinkum was like. Early 80s.
Yeah, like more like, oh, do you, yeah, it's a little 80s, probably.

Speaker 4 A little bit, it's a little bit dated.

Speaker 1 Fair dinkum. I got it.

Speaker 2 Rose, I got a good one for you. Yeah.
I think I told these guys.

Speaker 2 What do you call chickens?

Speaker 2 What do you call a chicken staring at lettuce?

Speaker 4 What?

Speaker 1 Chicken sees a salad. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I've been using that the last 48 hours and getting a lot of folks.

Speaker 1 Rose, Jesus.

Speaker 3 Will, do you have any dad jokes?

Speaker 1 I don't have any dad jokes. Not right now.

Speaker 2 No. I'll have more by the end.

Speaker 1 Mine are more just in the moment.

Speaker 3 But here's how great Sean is. Sean just FaceTimed me in the middle of the day or night the other day.
I couldn't tell.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 2 I was like, okay, I'll pick up the FaceTime.

Speaker 1 I know people have FaceTime.

Speaker 3 And he said, he said, I picked up. Hello.
Hey, hey, so just real quick, just for a quick, quick joke. And then he tells me that joke and I laugh and he hangs up.
That's right.

Speaker 3 That's the kind of socializing I enjoy.

Speaker 1 That's a little hit and run. That's exactly right.
I know you. It's so good.

Speaker 3 I love it.

Speaker 1 We came up the other day with, I told Sean this, that somebody who's had just a little bit of, just a little bit of surgery done to them, you know, just a little bit of work. Somebody?

Speaker 1 Just

Speaker 4 it is very

Speaker 4 dark in here. It is dark.
It's got a soft light. It's a really soft light.

Speaker 2 What do you pig out on? What do you just love to pig out on? Look at this.

Speaker 1 Look at this. Sam's having a, she's having a big salt.
They're both having Coca-Cola's.

Speaker 4 But this is because I got food poisoning on the plane on the way back.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Nothing that Coca-Cola can't.
Filthy, so I got the black doctor.

Speaker 4 I know, I know. I didn't.

Speaker 1 Did you guys go through? Did you stop at LA?

Speaker 4 Through LA. We just stopped in LA.
We changed planes. And then on the way from New York to JFK, just recently, just yesterday.

Speaker 4 Yesterday, I forgot in last night, but I was like throwing up the whole time.

Speaker 1 Last night? No.

Speaker 1 Oh, how do you believe you're doing this?

Speaker 4 Oh, no. I feel okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I feel okay.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I feel okay. But it was so gross.

Speaker 1 Like the tiny bag on the plane. Oh, I know.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 2 Food poisoning is the worst. Food poisoning takes over your whole brain.

Speaker 1 It's amazing. Yeah, it's like quite

Speaker 4 extraordinary. It's like your whole brain.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 you had the kids with you as well. It was you and Bobby and the kids.

Speaker 4 They were asleep, though, because it was the last leg of the flight. So it was okay.
I've just never had it on a plane before.

Speaker 4 How much longer have you got left, Sean, of the show?

Speaker 1 How long is that?

Speaker 2 August 27th is our last day.

Speaker 1 Wow, okay.

Speaker 2 August 27th is the closing night.

Speaker 4 And how do you guys know each other? Like, how do you all know?

Speaker 2 23, 25 years ago.

Speaker 1 I was his acting teacher. Wait, how? No, I.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and I still go to him. I'm still working on it.

Speaker 2 No, we used to play poker.

Speaker 2 I met Will actually before the poker thing, but we didn't get close until we all started playing poker regularly every week.

Speaker 1 And then with Jason and with everybody and with blah, blah, blah. And then, yeah, we were just...

Speaker 2 Years and years ago.

Speaker 1 Years and years. And in that time, we've done two shows together, Sean.
We never even talked about it. We've done two shows together.
What is it? That was wild.

Speaker 1 We did

Speaker 1 all night on NBC with Christina Applegate and Maya. And then we did The Millers on CBS.
Oh, cool. We'd gone on.

Speaker 1 Remember, Sean, we went on that trip and then Sean called like a week later, calling back, he's like, I think I'm going to do the show with you next year. And I was like, oh my God, isn't that wild?

Speaker 3 Sean, did I see that you've got a compression sleeve on your right arm?

Speaker 2 I'm both, yeah.

Speaker 3 Oh, from playing piano?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wow. No,

Speaker 1 lifting weights.

Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 Did you lift up a heavy egg salad the other day?

Speaker 3 Did you, but it's not, how are the wrists?

Speaker 1 Your wrists are. Your wrists are decent.

Speaker 2 They're decent.

Speaker 3 Do you ice your hands at the end of every show?

Speaker 2 I ice them before and then twice after every day. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Did you, so are you a piano prodigy?

Speaker 4 Like, from an original video?

Speaker 1 Sure, no.

Speaker 2 No, I started playing when I was five, and then I thought, I thought I was going to be a conductor and compose music and be a concert pianist. And then I got the acting bug, you know, early on.

Speaker 2 And then I was, then I became a music director out, you know, out of college.

Speaker 1 And that's what you gave you the food poisoning, right? The acting bug? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Speaking of I say hands, I took my first cold plunge the other day. Rose, have you been a little bit of a music?

Speaker 1 I'm so into it.

Speaker 4 I'm so into it. Oh my God.
I'm like, I never get into that stuff and I'm addicted to it.

Speaker 2 Rose, tell me about the first time.

Speaker 1 Tell me about the first time because what does that feel like?

Speaker 3 It's really,

Speaker 4 yeah, I mean, I don't know how you, I'm very.

Speaker 1 I didn't like it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 yeah I didn't like it so do I end up liking it after two or three or four times you kind of get addicted to it I got it I am addicted to it it's like you just it becomes like a something you have to overcome and the the the the the high afterward is just you feel it's not even high you just feel really you relax you sleep really well I found it really helps you me fall asleep and your skin looks amazing like it does something amazing

Speaker 1 so so but

Speaker 1 I can't believe you know that I built my first cold plunge 10 years ago before anybody else did. I'm now building my third one out here.

Speaker 1 And I swear to God.

Speaker 3 So, hang on a sec. When you say you built it, you're slapping together all the ceramic on the tub there and running hikes.

Speaker 1 I'm doing a lot of like, you should go there. Hey, keep working.
Why are you guys sitting around? Like, I'm doing a lot of that.

Speaker 1 Get up, Aim.

Speaker 1 I got to get out.

Speaker 2 I want to ask, Rose, when you first put, because I kind of want to try it because I do my arms every day.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But I want to, when you first put your toe in, I feel like it would be, my body would be so sensitive, I'd be like, I'm out. I can't do the whole.

Speaker 3 If you start in the sauna, right?

Speaker 1 If you start really, really hot and then you get in it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 But like I, you know, I'm from Australia, so we swim in the ocean in the winter. It's the winter back home now, right? And I was still, I was swimming every day in the ocean and the water's freezing.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Pretty cold, but I go straight in.
And so it's a cold plunge. You know, it's like it's just the original cold plunge, is having a cold swim in the ocean.

Speaker 1 I do the same thing. And I go back home in LA.
I start every day with, I have the sun as well, which I do later in the day with the cold. But in the morning, I do just straight into the cold plunge.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 How long? How long do you

Speaker 1 like the other day? You know, if I can make it three minutes, then I'll be, then that's good.

Speaker 1 But usually about two minutes

Speaker 1 in the morning.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's it. I was told you got to make it four.

Speaker 1 And I thought

Speaker 1 it was like two. I was told 30 minutes.
Yeah. Three minutes, but

Speaker 1 I keep mine at 39 degrees, so it's very cold.

Speaker 4 Mine's not that cold. Mine's probably

Speaker 4 45. It's not 30.

Speaker 2 Is there a way to do it where it's you build up the tolerance to the corrections?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's only for 30 seconds.

Speaker 4 That's even cool. But it does everything.

Speaker 1 It reduces inflammation. It does all the benefits of it are so, if you can do basically, if you can build it up, I forget what the actual number is, but it's something, it's not even that much.

Speaker 1 It's like if you can do 10 minutes, cumulative minutes per week, it does X

Speaker 1 benefits. You know, and inflammation is the root of all.
God, now we sound like Huberman. Yeah, super relatable.

Speaker 3 Hey, but what can you do like a frog boil type of strategy with it where it starts sort of room temperature and then you progressively get it colder and colder and you end up staying in there for 20 minutes?

Speaker 3 You know, because you don't really notice it getting colder?

Speaker 1 Exactly, I guess, man. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I don't work for the fucking pool company, dude.

Speaker 1 All right, back to rooms. Let's get back to you.

Speaker 1 How long have you done it for, Jason?

Speaker 3 It's just the first time. I think I was two or three minutes.

Speaker 1 Okay, yeah.

Speaker 1 It felt all right.

Speaker 2 How did you handle that, Jason? Like going your butt, your whole, did you go junk right away or did you go slowly?

Speaker 3 No, I went right away, but it was after the sauna, so it was deep sweat. I was, I've never been hotter.

Speaker 1 And then when I was awesome, that's that makes sense. So, like, as I've been building, so by the time Jay, you get here, the new one will be built.

Speaker 1 So, as I've been waiting for it for the last year, I have, this is true, I have this big inflatable temporary tub out here.

Speaker 1 And I go and I'll get like eight, ten bags of ice and I fill it in

Speaker 1 with water and I make this big slushy ice thing and I do it like that. And I sit in the ice.
Oh, that's cool.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Rose, I want to talk about your family.
So listen, when you,

Speaker 2 what was it like growing up? Did you get pushed into this? Is it something you wanted to do? How did you get exposed to doing the thing you love to do?

Speaker 4 Well, I grew up in a neighborhood called Balmain, and there was a lot of kids in my neighborhood who used to go to the Australian Theatre for Young People, People which is called ATYP and I and friends a friend of mine was like I think you'd really like it and I was only little I was eight and that's how I started was just doing these classes after school and just loving oh really just love anybody else in fan in your family into it or no none of my siblings not my parents anything the neighborhood we were in was you know somewhat bohemian i guess there's sort of a lot of artists there at the time it's a bit more gentrified now but um but that was it yeah that was how i started was going to atyp yeah doing classes has your favorite part of it changed at all or do you still love the same things?

Speaker 4 Um, I, yeah, I, I mean, I still get nervous, I still get nervous before every job. I still get panicked and think, how am I gonna do this? How am I not gonna screw this up?

Speaker 4 Like, I feel like the nerves are still there about it. Like, I don't know if the actor's condition is sort of,

Speaker 1 you can't really change it, right?

Speaker 4 Do you guys feel like that?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, anytime I'm calm, I end up doing a terrible job. A little bit of nerves keeps me.

Speaker 1 I think so.

Speaker 4 I think so, too.

Speaker 1 But you know, it's funny, though, but you know, for somebody who you say that you get nervous or whatever, I mean, and I mentioned this before, like you're always working. You have three,

Speaker 1 you have two shows and a movie out right now as of the time of this broadcast. Like you've got Physical, your show Physical, right?

Speaker 1 Which is your thing about said in the 80s where you play this sort of like a housewife who's kind of discontent. I mean, there's more than that, but

Speaker 1 that's the log line I'm going to give you.

Speaker 1 And then you've got Platonic with Seth Rogan, right? The show where you guys play best friends who are having platonic. And then you have Insidious.
And I'm like,

Speaker 1 this is like, that's to have three major things out at the same time. I mean, it's unusual.
And it's a lot.

Speaker 2 Please, you have freedom to complain. Go.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a lot. Well, all the press.

Speaker 1 And do you feel, man, the press, exactly. So the press alone that you have to do for that stuff.
And a little bit is like, like, be careful what you wish for. Do you ever feel like that?

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 4 I'm honestly such like, you got to make hay a little bit. It's such a sort of, but I feel like when I've, you know, get, it's judge by job, right?

Speaker 4 Like you get when I got the scripts for physical, this was a few years ago, but it was just such an interesting.

Speaker 4 premise and pilot and like a character I'd never really seen before set in this really specific world of like, you know, the, how, you know, how the, how the wellness industry really began, you know, sort of like reverse reverse engineering that and that um

Speaker 4 and really looking at this illness of bulimia which is something that's never really been examined before on on screen in a way that wasn't like a punchline or wasn't sort of you know and this was doing it in a way that i thought was really interesting and um it's really annie wiseman's story she's the creator and she's been very much a touchstone for me in terms of like how we represent it and um

Speaker 4 but uh but i don't like i don't know about you guys but i just always feel like the last job you do is maybe the last job you'll ever get like

Speaker 1 that always like i don't know i just i always feel so fortunate to like get another job yeah i mean we all

Speaker 4 you know it's this business it does no one anyone favors really like it's so i i very much have that

Speaker 1 we'll be right back

Speaker 2 Some people in life are truly one of a kind. Always surprising you, always becoming more themselves over time.
Somehow, they just get more interesting, funnier even, year after year.

Speaker 2 Celebrating them deserves something just as unique as they are. That's where desert-toned diamonds come in.

Speaker 2 Unlike gifts that can feel predictable, desert diamonds reflect the authenticity and individuality of the people you love.

Speaker 2 These aren't one color fits all diamonds. They come in unexpected shades of warm whites, sunlit champagnes, deep ambers, smoky whiskeys, radiant hues and tones you just don't see every day.

Speaker 2 Diamonds in natural colors that are truly unlike anything else for the people in your life who are unlike anyone else.

Speaker 2 And there's no better way to show them how lucky you are to know and love them this holiday season than to gift them a desert diamond. And that's why a diamond is forever.

Speaker 4 I played Briseus who gets like captured and thrown to him as like a toy that he can,

Speaker 4 you know, do what he wants with. So it was pretty funny.
It's a lot of, you know, me tied up like, excuse me, sir.

Speaker 1 I don't want to

Speaker 1 like beast, you know, like that. It was very, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 Don't you kiss me on the mouth,

Speaker 4 you know.

Speaker 1 Um, and yeah, I was really shy.

Speaker 1 How did that come about? Like, what was the problem?

Speaker 4 I had done, uh, I had done this movie called Wicker Park, this movie with Diane Kruger and Josh Hartnett and Matthew Lord, like in Montreal. And from there, I got an audition for Troy.

Speaker 4 And weirdly, Diane Krueger also, she played Helen of Troy. So we like spent two years together back in like, you know, 20 years ago.

Speaker 4 And yeah, it was just such a huge, insane budget and so many extras and so many,

Speaker 4 it was just, you know, Peter O'Toole was in the movie. I remember, you know, he would, he would be smoking, you know, he was incredible, you know, this legendary actor.

Speaker 4 And he was very fond of us, of me. And we hit it off.
We kind of got along really well.

Speaker 4 And I remember him climbing the stairs of like one of the ancient ruins that we were filming at and really breathing really hardly, like,

Speaker 1 you know, like going up the stairs.

Speaker 4 And one of the PAs saying to him, I think you might have to give up the ciggies, Pete, or something.

Speaker 1 And he was like, Oh, I should just give up the stairs. Uh-huh.

Speaker 3 And you're fired.

Speaker 1 That's so good. What an answer.

Speaker 4 I know. It was good.
He had all that.

Speaker 3 One of my dumb questions

Speaker 3 is: How hard is the American accent? I like asking

Speaker 1 all that.

Speaker 3 Do you have like a word that clicks you into it? Because you have such a great American accent.

Speaker 4 Thanks, pal.

Speaker 4 We had a lot of American TV in Australia. So I grew up watching Seinfeld and,

Speaker 4 you know, family ties and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 So you learned the American accent from my sister. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 you sound a little like Justine. I don't know.

Speaker 4 But I had this really hard dialogue once when I did

Speaker 4 uh damages and i still say it to try if i'm having problem patty hired 24 hour security for katie

Speaker 1 wow that's the ours

Speaker 4 patty hired 24 hour security for katie

Speaker 1 wow

Speaker 2 what is that wait what is that what is that from that

Speaker 1 show i did damages

Speaker 1 so ours are ours are tough yeah and the hired patty hired that's a hard one hired how do you say hired in australian hired hired hired

Speaker 1 hired hired 24 hour security for katie yeah we just we just sound sort of efficient and uh right just sort of like that it is true right we sound like a bunch of knobs yeah let's be honest that was really

Speaker 4 that's my that's my go-to when i've done but um but i love it i kind of if i don't have to do an accent i feel a bit strange like on platonic there was this whole nick stoller really wanted me to be australian um and i was very very much like, I'm not sure.

Speaker 4 I don't know. I just want to, you know, quite, and then anyway, I agreed to do it.

Speaker 1 You did Australian, but you were kind of, there were moments where you sounded not totally yourself.

Speaker 1 Yeah, a little bit, right? American. In Platonic, I noticed that because I watched it.
I noticed that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're so good in it, Rose. You're so, so good.

Speaker 4 With your countrymen, Seth.

Speaker 1 I know with Seth. We love, and a friend of the show.
We love Seth.

Speaker 3 You must love working with him. You've done a few things with him.
Yeah, you guys have done a bunch.

Speaker 1 He's a Canadian. that's what I always say he's like he's he's a great dude

Speaker 2 Rose a fan of question were you was Bridesmaid are you getting emails from fans right now yeah was Bridesmaids as much fun making it as it was as it is watching it because I remember I went opening weekend and I

Speaker 2 do too yeah back in the day and

Speaker 2 I was I it just come out not too many people were talking about it it was like the second day it was out or something yeah and you discovered it

Speaker 2 I'm the one who told everybody about it.

Speaker 2 No, and I remember emailing Wig and I'm just like, oh my God, I love that movie so much. And it was just, and then it just became this huge thing.
Exploded.

Speaker 2 But it just, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's one of billions of people's favorite movies of all time.
But it was a, it looks like it was a blast and you laughed every single day.

Speaker 4 And we did, it was one of those jobs where it was, it definitely had no idea that it would become such a beloved film at all. It was like a, you know, mid-sized film.

Speaker 4 It wasn't, you know, it was like, yeah. what was weird was acting with that many women, I must say.
That was bizarre.

Speaker 4 Like the big days when we had all those set pieces and it was just like eight women, or you know, all of the girls together, it was that was really unusual. Because usually,

Speaker 4 if you're in a film, it's not often you're the only woman, or you're doing a scene opposite a guy, or it's very rare to have that.

Speaker 4 And that was, I remember thinking, and those days were so fun because we all, we all really hit it off. It was like not, it was a very good vibe on set, and everybody was really fun.

Speaker 3 How often do you and Bobby get to work together?

Speaker 4 We've worked together a lot, Jason, actually.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we did Medea together at BAM right before the pandemic hit, which was pretty wild because we saw that kind of coming in, like the audiences starting to slow down and New York starting to shut down and this word about what's happening is this thing.

Speaker 4 And then and then we, you know, had our final show and then three days later, the whole of Broadway shut down. I remember hearing, oh, there's a Nasha had it and someone else.

Speaker 4 And then and then New York just was like the apocalypse.

Speaker 1 Were you guys in New York, or you were a podcast? During the pandemic, because me and the guys on the other podcast, we have like real, you know, heavy-duty opinions about it.

Speaker 1 The plan, the plan, all the dudes on all the other podcasts, we got real opinions about what you

Speaker 1 ever met.

Speaker 1 It was such a we were all in, we were all in LA.

Speaker 4 We were all in LA, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we were all in LA and

Speaker 3 birthing this thing, trying to find it,

Speaker 1 figure out a way to

Speaker 1 keep talking.

Speaker 4 I'm sorry it didn't work out that well for you, huh?

Speaker 1 It's been a real, real

Speaker 1 failure.

Speaker 1 It's been a bummer.

Speaker 1 But, you know,

Speaker 1 kind of, and I love bridesmaids, too. I mean, bridesmaids are so, so funny.
And obviously, Wig is, you know, created. And we'd love Paul Feig.
Jason, I worked with Paul before

Speaker 1 a number of times. He's such a great dude.

Speaker 4 Always in a suit. Always in a suit.

Speaker 1 Always in a suit. Always

Speaker 1 the sharpest dress guy in Chobiz.

Speaker 3 He had one of those VW bugs when they first came out. And you remember the little vase that they have in the front? He had a little flower in his vase.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Right on the dashboard.

Speaker 1 He's a classy guy, and his wife is awesome, and he's just a cool dude.

Speaker 1 But everybody in that movie, and obviously Melissa and everybody, just such a great cast.

Speaker 1 And Maya.

Speaker 3 So you've done that. Don't forget about Ben Falcone.

Speaker 1 And Ben Falcone. The great Ben Falcone, who we love.
I know. Now we're going to get texts from Ben Falcone.
How did you not mention me? We did.

Speaker 3 Barely got it in there, Will.

Speaker 1 I know. Well, now Ben doesn't have to text us.
But then, but then, so you do that. Then you do it.
You start doing more and more comedy. And then, but you can also seamlessly go back.

Speaker 1 My question for you is: is there something that you haven't, because it feels like you can kind of do everything, is there something that you're like,

Speaker 1 what's the big thing that's out there that you haven't done yet? That you're like, I want to do something like X.

Speaker 1 Is there something that kind of in the back of your mind that's.

Speaker 3 Or stuff they don't call you for.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why don't they call me for that stuff?

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 I mean, I

Speaker 4 for me, I feel like comedy and drama, like the stakes are even higher in comedy. Anything to make something funny is like,

Speaker 4 it is fun and all that stuff, but it's also, it's hard work in a different way, you know? Like, it's...

Speaker 3 But what's great about you is you never ask for any laughs.

Speaker 3 You know, you're always so great about, you don't, some people when they, when they, some dramatic actors that try to play play comedy, they, they just sort of like speak louder and make faces.

Speaker 3 You, you just keep it all very relatable and grounded and real. And your brand of humor, I just, for me, just, I love it.

Speaker 1 Oh, hell, you're very sweet.

Speaker 4 Oh, well, that's well.

Speaker 3 What about like playing? What about somebody with a limp and a lisp and old age makeup and like that kind of character acting?

Speaker 1 Are you excited about that? I would like to play

Speaker 1 Hamlet.

Speaker 1 Hamletta. We could arrange that.
Hamlet. Hamleta.
Hamletta. Hamletta.
Hamletta. In the park.
In the park. In the park.
In the park.

Speaker 3 Hamletta in the park.

Speaker 2 Actually, all jokes aside, Hamleta as a comedy something is really funny.

Speaker 3 It'd be called Hamletta and Cheese.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think we've figured it out, guys. I'm going to call CIA.

Speaker 4 We're going to put it together. Bobby can play Ophelia.
Ophel.

Speaker 1 How do we play? Yeah, Ophelio.

Speaker 4 In a little wig and a little dress.

Speaker 1 He'll be cute. Ophelio.
Ophelia.

Speaker 1 But there's nothing that you're like, oh, man. You don't sit there and talk to your friends.
I'm like, mate,

Speaker 1 why am I not getting this?

Speaker 1 I imagine that you're always talking to your friends saying, mate.

Speaker 2 Is there somebody

Speaker 2 like a historical figure you'd want to ever play or somebody in the public eye or some part you were ever really aching to do?

Speaker 4 Well, I did this show,

Speaker 4 Mrs. America, and it was set in the second wave.
feminist movement and I played Gloria Steinem and that was extraordinary. I must say and a lot of pressure.

Speaker 4 Obviously, she's still reactive and she's extraordinary, but that was really nerve-wracking.

Speaker 1 And that was definitely something I tried to get out of because I was like, Really?

Speaker 3 Is that the first time you played a real person?

Speaker 1 Screw that up.

Speaker 4 I have played Duchess de Polignac in Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Opposite Kirsten has it.
I played a very, it was a very, very small part, but she was a real person. Yeah.

Speaker 1 She was like, nobody also can.

Speaker 1 Nobody can really reference her and go, hey, she didn't talk like that. Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Speaker 1 She parted her hair on the right side.

Speaker 4 She's a little more obscure.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. You're right.
No, you haven't heard of her?

Speaker 4 You haven't heard of her.

Speaker 3 So were you pressured, like having to do

Speaker 3 an impersonation or an accurate one? Or did you kind of like do your version of her?

Speaker 4 Well, she's so different from me, where she came from and grew up and sounded. So it was a lot of technical work like that, but it was really fun.

Speaker 4 It was really, you know, eventually it was really fun. And her look is just so specific.
Like her silhouette is so iconic, you know? So it's just like trying to like get that silhouette.

Speaker 4 She's one of those few people that you know immediately kind of who she is.

Speaker 4 So, um, just by her silhouette. So, that was really nerve-wracking, trying to trying to kind of get that, get that right.

Speaker 4 And the voice and how she walks and all that was very, very specific, but really fun. But, I mean, gosh, I'm inspired by so much stuff I see.
Like, I loved Everything Everywhere all at once.

Speaker 4 I thought that that genre is great. I'd love to try to like though that kind of wild genre is something I've never, really, I've never been part of.

Speaker 4 That would be really, it's all about directors, right, guys?

Speaker 1 Guys, it's all about directors.

Speaker 1 What do you, what do you, what do you do to uh, uh what's what's your thing you do to to just sort of goof off what's your what's your downtime thing yeah are you watching like dumb tv to to unwind are you uh i mean are you a bike rider are you cold punch

Speaker 4 you do the cold punch i try to do that two or three times a week um yeah

Speaker 4 and

Speaker 1 i'm

Speaker 4 god what else do i do are you a book reader yeah i do i'm a book reader i'm a book reader and and i'll watch bad tv like bobby thinks i'm pretty trashy like Like, he's like, baby, why are you doing that?

Speaker 1 Why are you watching that?

Speaker 3 Yeah. You ever pull him down into your little cesspool?

Speaker 4 No, he just wants to watch sport.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 3 What's he addicted to? I get caught watching golf all the time and I'm very embarrassed.

Speaker 4 He's got a big live draft he does with like

Speaker 1 Rod and

Speaker 1 Dam and all those guys.

Speaker 4 They do a big live draft every year. This year they're not sure if they can do it because there's some scheduling issues going on.
So he's deeply unhappy.

Speaker 1 He's very unhappy. That's right.

Speaker 4 But

Speaker 4 he loves the football. He loves the footy.

Speaker 1 And I've grown to like it. I don't quite understand it, but

Speaker 1 I'm, you know,

Speaker 4 I try to get into it. I think it's good to get into sport.

Speaker 1 It's a good, like, it's a good TV product, that's football.

Speaker 4 It's designed around advertising, right?

Speaker 3 It's a moneymaker.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 4 But I've been loving going to the theater.

Speaker 4 I saw Good Night Oscar, obviously, and that's been great to get back.

Speaker 4 I felt like it was so quiet, right, for a while, Sean. And then that feels like that's what Bobby and I loved.
We just love to go to, we love to go to see shows. So that's been really fun.

Speaker 1 It is one of the great things about when you live in New York, just being able to go and see.

Speaker 4 Yeah, when you live in the city, yeah.

Speaker 4 Can I ask, did you, have you had, Sean, have you had people on their phone texting, phone calls?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
One time. What do you do?

Speaker 4 Do you do anything? Do you have you said anything?

Speaker 2 Yeah, one night, it was the perfect timing. It was,

Speaker 2 oh, shoot, I can't remember the line. Some phone was going off, and I had a line.
I told you guys, I can't remember what it is, but,

Speaker 2 and the line had to do with being quiet, and I delivered it straight to that person in the audience. Wow.
Whatever the line was. Did they laugh? Yeah, I got a little chuckle on claps.

Speaker 1 Claps because everybody.

Speaker 2 It's so annoying. But right in the middle of

Speaker 2 the last part where me and June, the girl playing my wife, Emily, we were crying together and the phones,

Speaker 2 and so we're, we're just like, and everybody in the theater is like, what the fuck? I just got, so it completely ruined the moment.

Speaker 1 But what are you going to do? Yeah. Anyway.

Speaker 1 Anyway. It's been fun having Sean on the podcast.
