Sup, gigglers? Gary, fix your Wi-Fi.

Manifest that shit.

We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me.

Hello, my giggly piggly wigglies. I'm currently in Vegas about to present at the AMA Awards. With the queen, Lisa Rinna. I've never met her before. I know her daughter, but I've never met the queen. So hopefully I don't say anything weird or awkward, but we'll let you know next episode how that goes. We have a very special episode for you today. It took a lot of back and forth to get permission to post this, but we were able to get the footage from our interview with Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, and Brenda Song. From our live show that we did. Now, this is not a normal Giggly Squad live show. We didn't have guys on stage calling them trash. This was an interview we did at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, and we're just so happy that we can share it with everyone who wasn't able to make it that day. So I'm gonna shut up and let you guys enjoy the live show. Hollywood! Wait, guys, I forgot I love She loves Thor.

I'm 2 beta blockers deep, so let's fucking do it.

She could bash her head through a wall. What is up, LA?

Okay, before we bring out our amazing guests, I just have to tell a really quick Hannah story because she's been torturing me all day.

I thought you were gonna say year. I was.

I honestly was. Okay, so Monday we're at my apartment, right? We're getting our nails done. We're having like a very cute best friend day. I say, Hannah, what are you wearing Friday night to do our interview? She was like, oh, I want to dress like really cool. I just want to wear capris and like a windbreaker. And I was like, great. Where did you order the windbreaker from? And she said Fashion Nova. No shade, no hate.

No shade, no tea.

I said, Kate Hudson's going to be on the fucking stage. I need you to lock eyes and get it together. I'm a good friend. I go upstairs, I get my YSL windbreaker.

You fully Devil Wears Prada'd it.

I say, you can wear that Saturday night. A couple days goes by, we're in the airport, we're on our way to LA. We had something in the morning. I said, Hannah, what are you wearing to brunch tomorrow morning? She goes, a YSL windbreaker. She also has to record a podcast. I go, what are you wearing to the podcast? She goes, a YSL windbreaker. She's been wearing the same fucking outfit all day. I literally want to kill myself. She looks stunning. She looks gorgeous.

I said, "Sweaty Magoo, if you sweat in my YSL windbreaker, I will kill you." No, but I was like, "I'm getting my money's worth." And she's like, "I paid for it." No, I'm gonna sleep in this. I'm not taking it off. You're never lending me anything again. You're never doing it. You guys, also, we've never done a show like this before. It's gonna give Barbara Walters realness. What man just spoke up? What is—

is your handler with you?

Yeah, we— I love the Wilton. It's so cute. It's so like— I was gonna say cute. That's not the right word.

I mean, sophisticated.

Sophisticated. So we have 3 superstars that we're interviewing. You guys know we don't interview. We've never— we've never asked a question and listened to the answer. This is This is gonna be so, so, so fun. I hope they remember that they're coming out because they probably left. They could have left. They're like, what are they talking about on stage? So this is such an honor for us to be interviewing the women.

Okay, PowerPoint's ready. Perfect. Downloaded. That was awesome.

That was Mindy Kaling being like, I'm out. Her Uber's here. That was my new superpower. I want you guys to put your hands together. I want you to go fucking crazy for the cast of Running Point and creator of Running Point. Give it up for Kate Hudson, Mindy Kaling, Brenda Song! Like what? Like what? Anyway, oh my gosh, Barbara Walters realness. Here we go.

I have to figure out a sit in this dress.

I'm just seeing your shoes for the first time. Those are incredible.

Wait, Paige, can you give a little review of the look?

No, I'm obsessed with everything. The skirt is so good.

I don't know how to sit in it.

You're perfect.

It's fashion.

Yeah, right.

You can stand the whole time if you want.

I can.

Brenda said she wore a very Giggly Squad-coded outfit, and I feel like she nailed it.

Well, can I just say, we had to dress up because this fucking audience.

Yeah.

We—

I was driving in, and it was just like little cliques of hot baddies.

Yeah, it's the hottest girls ever.

Just like night out, like Koreatown just turned into Vegas. Like, everyone looks so good.

And they're like doctors and lawyers and like—

And they just look like hot sluts.

We're so biased, but they're the hottest. Smartest, funniest people in LA.

I rolled down the window and took a selfie with them.

There's a couple boyfriends that slid their way in. Get out of here right now! Sorry, we don't do that. This isn't a Geek Squad show. This is In Conversation with Important People. We don't do that anymore. We're professionals. We, we've actually— this is the first day we're meeting these three, so we're a little starstruck right now, and we wanted to get you to know you guys a little better with a PowerPoint.

You weren't lying.

Oh yeah, she said backstage, she's like, we have a PowerPoint.

I'm like, she was like, why the PowerPoint? Well, we actually can't remember what's gonna happen if we don't have our visuals, so it's— we're visual learners to how the sausage is made. But we're gonna ask you some important questions about like the state of our nation.

Okay, okay, so we're gonna show you different things and you're gonna say if you like it, if you don't like it, and then we'll let you know if that's Paige or Hannah coded.

Okay, this is how we're gonna really know who you are to your core.

Yeah.

So excited.

There's no wrong answers.

Ballet pink nails. It's kind of like you get the same nail polish every single time.

Well, yes, not every time.

Not every time, but like it's your go-to.

I love— yeah, it's easy for work. I do it for work.

Okay, I'm gonna say no.

Crazy nail.

I love crazy nails.

In the aughts I did, and then I feel like we've all been shamed into doing neutral nails.

Yeah, a little bit.

It's the Kate Middleton effect.

You're not classy. I used to have like checkerboard nails when I was on The Mindy Project, and then now I know—

Kesha's time, like, yeah, bring back glitter.

Or like the French manicure where half the nail was the white part.

Yeah, all white.

It's all white, and I know now, I know that that's lame.

I love a crazy nail.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, and we're gonna tell you guys what you are at the end. Yep. So Paige is doing math in her head for the first time. Carry the 1. That was That was really—

cottage cheese.

Let's start with Mindy and go down.

I get the hype. I know that it's good to get protein this way. I don't fuck with cottage cheese in any form. No. And I know you can make delicious pancakes and things like— you can blend it up, put in the freezer, put it in a smoothie. No, I'd put it—

there's girls on TikTok that like make bread out of it.

Your algorithm is so different.

Yeah.

Yeah, I've tried. I'm Asian, lactose intolerant. I can't. I've tried.

I love cottage cheese.

Also, by the way, I like to stand up during the shows. Paige won't move. Paige won't move the whole time.

Girl after my own heart.

Okay, chandeliers, 100,000%.

She loves a chandelier. Love a good chandelier.

Love a chandelier.

Okay, that's kind of a weird question.

Crocs.

Here's the thing, I, I had them for gardening. My partner said he would never wear Crocs, and now he wears them all the time, everywhere we go, and I regret it so much.

Wait, I'm still not past the gardening part.

Yes, I love gardening. Crocs appropriate for gardening, and my kids love Crocs, but I personally do not wear Crocs.

I'm sexist. I think women and children should be able to wear them, but when, like, save them, save them I'm telling them when Ike Barinholtz wears Crocs to the writers room. Yeah, I'm like, you should care more about what I think of you sexually.

Like, no, it's because of the patriarchy.

Wait, I need to say that to people more. Like, you should care more about what I think of you sexually.

I love his wife. I love his wife. I love that you don't— no men can wear them. I'm sorry.

No, I think every single one of them should be melted and just put it like Something else should be created. They're the worst shoes of all time.

Wait, have you ever tried it on though?

I'm not gonna say I haven't worn them ever. But I am not, it's a hard no for me.

See, I love Crocs because they are comfy. However, if you ever walk in an airport with Crocs, you ever like—

No.

Everyone's like, no.

Never walked in Crocs.

You don't even get stuck and you could like tear an ACL?

No, I don't go sport mode.

I just got boot up.

Why would you wear Crocs when you have Birkenstocks?

Or Uggs.

That is so LA of you. Like, you never hiked in a Birkenstock.

Okay, okay.

Now this is not a body shame moment. This is about body positivity and finger positivity. Do you have nubs, or do you have witch long fingers, or do you have something in between? Okay, you didn't have to add witch.

I have childlike hands. Childlike hands. I have like baby hands.

I have baby hands too.

Well, you're—

Brenda, look at that rock.

Wow.

Thank you.

That's nice.

But I turned it off.

Brenda, can you really hold it?

So you would classify yourself as having small, like, small long fingers?

I don't know. I have—

I don't know what I am. What are you?

You have nice hands though. You have long fingers.

They're like—

Look at your pinky compared to mine. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You have long fingers.

I told you. I have nubs.

I, I have—

oh, you have very long—

I have long fingers, but I have like orangutan arms. Wait, and I'll tell you why I did this.

Wait, so do I.

We did this— Kate and I did this, this thing to promote Running Point where we— the Dracula song, right? And so Kate was so cool and she walked into frame and she did the first line, and I came in, my arms were singing, and I was like, my arms look so goddamn long. And then like immediately I read the comments where they're like, Why are her arms so long? They were— my knuckles were like dragging on the floor, and I thought I looked really cool.

But Mindy, you could dunk a basketball.

Yes. Okay, that's it.

Believe me.

Okay.

Fantasy football.

Fantasy football.

I'm not allowed.

Oh, you get too competitive?

I'm not allowed.

You've been banned?

Have you been banned? Me too. Yeah, me too.

Not allowed.

Who is what? Okay. That's— it's like a doorbell.

I think it's your email.

I think it's, it's me.

I'm like a boomer with a phone and I don't know what's going on. So you were banned because what did you do, Brenda?

I already care too much about football and so I can't have added stakes. I have children, I have a life. It, it runs my whole life. It's like I will be just stat reading all day. We already have a rolling TV just for sports. It's a problem. I'm not allowed.

I'm rolling.

We have a, we have a rolling monitor just for Sports.

Women in STEM.

Wait, like in your house and you roll it around to different rooms?

Well, because also like when our kids— so we, we try to limit screens with our kids, so if they want to watch something, they have to share the big TV. And if they're sharing the big TV and a game is on, Mama and Papa roll up, roll out their TV, and the kids know that that TV is just for sports. Oh my gosh. And on Sundays We watch the local game and then we have our Sunday Ticket on the rolling TV.

You run a tight ship.

I like that.

Yes, we do.

Do you fantasy football?

No, I—

How dare you ask me that question?

I'm so offended. No, I just— I don't have— I have no interest and I don't know. What about you?

I have, yeah. I have, but I get bored like halfway through the season. I'm like, I don't want to watch all the games.

Yeah.

Well, no, I like my teams and then I'm like, oh God, I hate watch all the time.

I hate watch games. I love it.

Do you have any picking strategy in the draft?

No, no.

You pick the tall ones, the cute ones. I'm not going to watch ugly men play every week. I feel like I'm The Bachelorette. I'm like, you, you, you, and you.

But I did just start wanting to get into betting on, on golf.

Golf.

Oh, do you play?

Because I play and I'm getting kind of obsessed with it and I really want to be able— yeah, Gesundheit— and I really want to be able to like, you know, really understand golf and the way you do that is you start betting a lot.

I put on the Golf Channel when I need to hit REM sleep because they have such a calm whisper, you know?

Yeah, it's like a warm day. That it's like a heavy blanket.

Well, we've spoken about sports betting and how men are putting their homes up for sale to like, see if a broad's gonna win a game or something. So we just wanted to raise awareness. Oh, that's cool. This is a very inappropriate photo. Hannah, how it got in there?

Hannah put this in, and she was in Sports Illustrated recently, and so we just wanted to like bring awareness.

Yes. Now I'm embarrassed. At first I thought it was funny. Now I'm embarrassed. But I get ashamed because I have a really long torso and Paige is all legs, no torso. How's your guys' torsos?

Zero torso.

Zero torso. You're a Paige.

Everything has to be like hemmed in. My— it goes nipples, belly button.

Your nipple hits your hip.

I just need to say Mindy has been so page-coded this whole time. I know, I'm getting jealous.

I'm a little page-coded.

Yeah, I'm, I'm long-waisted, short-legged. It's— I'm the exact opposite. It's literally waist, feet.

You look tall on a Zoom.

Yeah, yeah, I'm taller than Kate right now, but if we stand— I'm as tall as Kate right now, but if we stand up, I'm like 2 feet shorter.

When you sit, you get tall.

I'm so tall right now. Yeah, we should do the whole— see, we should do the whole season just sitting down. I'm your height because I have to wear like these gigantic shoes. Yeah, I'm like on ample boxes all the time and in gigantic shoes and I'm still not as tall as you.

I'm also long torsoed.

But you also have long legs.

Oh, so you're—

you're just—

you're just a body.

It's like, I guess my proportions are perfect.

She's like, sorry, I don't understand this imperfection of body ratio.

I guess I'm the platonic ideal of a woman.

I don't know.

I don't know.

She was trying not to answer. She's like, someone else can go. I don't know.

Matthew McConaughey says I have the perfect figure. It's whatever. Can we, can we just say, we didn't get to say this, we are so honored to be here.

Oh my gosh, you guys, thank you for having us.

We are such such huge fans of each and every one of you in so many ways. Oh, everyone got serious. That got me nervous.

I know.

Hello, London's here. But yeah, you guys, this is such an honor. And for the gigglers to come and support all this, this is everything. Thank you.

Giggle, the best word ever.

No, it literally is.

It literally— okay, what's this one?

Is when you're on FaceTime time with your friend and something happens, call drops. Are you calling them back or you've missed the moment? It's over, you'll get them next time.

Yeah, you know when you're like, the universe doesn't want this anymore.

An unnecessary wrap it up is to not— yeah, who— we ain't got the time for that. It ended, it was God's way of saying you're busy, you're on to the next thing.

She's so page-turner crazy.

Oh, I'm the opposite. I'm like, oh my God, I'm so sorry something happened. Oh my God, but I'm just calling to say goodbye. That was my— something happened I was following my service. I'm just calling to say goodbye. Love you. That's me.

That is really nice.

I'm with Mindy. I'm out.

I'm like, ah, okay.

I know. I know.

I'll be telling Kate.

There are times I'm talking, I'm like, oh, Kate's gone.

Forever.

And I called her back and it's like, call denied. I'm like, oh, okay. I guess we were done.

You could, you know, what you could do is send the text text, hey, I think the call dropped, we're good, right?

Yeah, like just to make sure they're not mad at you.

We're done here. No, I'll be in the most vulnerable mid-sentence, like, and then when my parents— and then it cuts off and Paige never to be heard of again.

I'm like, we'll pick this back up next week.

Leave me for dead.

Cats.

Let me say, this is controversial. Think before you speak. I don't like Kate's face right now.

Well, do I have to— is it like cats or dogs, or just cats? Oh, I, I will snuggle any animal.

Okay.

I love cats.

I love cats. I never had a cat until I started dating Mac. He's like a Manhattanite, so I always had dogs, but now we have 3 cats. I love all, I love all animals though. So we have so many animals.

I am not an animal person.

I just want to say—

No, this is my long-lost sister.

I am so Paige. But also, I just want to say dogs are the patriarchy. Continue.

I think— I— and then this is bad. This is bad. People love— people love animals living in their home.

Yeah.

Rubbing their genitalia on their pillows that they go to sleep on. Licking their faces. They love this. I don't know if this is like an Indian thing, but I think like germ-wise, it's not— I love a cat attitude, you know, I love— honestly, there's a lot to learn from cats about, you know, don't give too much, you know, just I— but I, I'm not like an animal in the house person. I want only human germs in my house.

That's Butter and Daphne. They're huge fans of all of you.

Oh, unfortunately they do sleep in our beds though.

Also, Butter has like, it looks like Cindy Crawford. She has a little birthmark, but no one talks about it. About it. Everyone's just like, Daphne's so pretty, and I'm like, Butter's literally Cindy Crawford.

Is it Butter?

Butter, the name's Butter?

Oh my God, I'm really into food names.

Oh, okay, well, I had two cats named Mac and Cheese. I had two.

Oh, so you too?

I had two.

They—

yeah, they were Persian cats. They were Mac and Cheese, and they were so cute.

And I thought you were gonna talk shit about cats. I have to formally apologize to you because I was ahead of my Time. Oh, voice notes.

Sometimes you don't want it in writing, you know? You're like, if I ever get subpoenaed, it's going to be bad.

Someone saved some voice notes. It sends shivers down my spine when someone saves a rant that you went on. You're like, why did you save that?

Yeah, for evidence.

Yeah.

Love a voice note.

Yes. Love, especially because we're busy. We're walking around. We're like, I can't.

I've learned to love it. I used— it used to give me anxiety when I saw someone. I would just read the voice note like a crazy person and not listen to it.

I'm like, oh my God.

But now I understand and I'm here for it. Except when Scotty MacArthur sends voice notes because they're, they're like 30 minutes long.

Call them out by name. Call them out.

Scotty, he plays, he plays NES. He literally sends the longest voice notes about nothing.

And you get to like a minute, you get to like a minute 10 and you're like, I'm out.

You know, you can speed them up now.

Well, I say if I look at a voice note and there's a 2, is it like anything over 2 minutes? I'm not listening to it.

I kind of read it.

I kind of like the thing.

I read it.

Does Scotty like play music? He'll be like, I got this song I want you guys to hear.

Like, he'll play a long song for you guys. That's crazy.

Does he have anyone in his life who could be honest with him?

No, that's the problem.

Everybody is honest with him.

Literally everybody has told him.

I'm so sorry that a man's doing that to you guys.

Bed rotting.

Huge fans.

Huge fans. This is just staying in bed all day.

Kate, do you wake up early?

Yes.

You're fucking running or something.

You're like, yeah, but I'm also like, I also, I can get into bed. And I can get into bed for a long time. But I wouldn't say it's rotting.

Yeah, rotting's a bad word.

I get it, but yeah.

The kids would say—

I love being in bed. I love being in bed.

I love our beds.

Do you guys ever work horizontal, like do emails in bed?

And like Zooms? I do my emails at night and then I schedule them to be sent out in the morning.

Yeah, I raise my kids from bed.

She goes, I have full fights with my whole family from the bed.

I, I have 3 kids under the age of 8, so like bed rot, it would be my dream to do it. So the— I was on bed rest for my last baby who's 2, and the last 6 weeks I was confined to bed.

We're so jealous. I—

it was heaven to just lay in bed, take all my Zooms, and it's clinical, and it was like I have a medical condition.

Doctors know.

I have to look bad, like Zooming with Bella Bajaria from bed wearing my sweatpants, and she just has to deal with it. It's the best.

Yeah, it's the best.

We need to get a medical note.

No, I really do.

Last one. Last one is, how do you guys feel about revenge?

I'm a petty bitch. Revenge.

I'm a petty bitch.

Yeah, petty bitch. Yeah. And you believe the best revenge is living well, or do you believe the best revenge is literal revenge?

Great question.

No, I, I think it's living well, but also if there's a chance to be petty, you know I'll do it.

Revenge, sometimes like you don't have to do it, the universe does it for you.

I'm a big believer in that too.

I believe in karma.

Yeah, I'm going to be so cheesy.

Please.

I believe that forgiveness is the only way to peace.

Aww, how dare you, Boo Kate Hudson!

And no, guys, she actually means it. She is—

can you believe that?

We know, but That is beautiful, because when you're angry and you wish bad upon people, it comes around back to you sometimes.

You're so fucked if revenge is your way.

You just want to be friends with Kate Hudson. You're not being yourself.

I go, Kate, you're so fucking right. I've been saying that this whole time. But like, you did work on yourself to get there. You have—

She has time. She literally called me 2 weeks ago at 11 PM and was like, and then I think this will happen.

Oh my God. Yeah, I have an Etsy, which really excited.

Oh, okay.

Before we go, we'll say what we think on—

Oh, okay. Let's decide. I mean, Mindy is Paige Koda. Yeah, 100% Paige Koda.

And I think Brenda is smack dab in the middle.

She's Hannah Sun, Paige Moon.

Yes. And Kate is all Hannah.

I can't speak.

But this is good representation.

Kate is like, she holds herself a little with more like—

She has more class. Yeah, for sure.

There's like a regalness that I'll never have, but cool.

Like Kate's never like shit in the middle of the street.

Okay, that was a bridesmaid scene. Like I never did that.

I'm like, well.

Look, sometimes you don't know if it's a fart or not.

Okay, never overtrust a fart.

See, that's her Hannah coming out. Oh wait, which brings us to a perfect segue. We just want to get to know you guys a little more about your sense of humor. And you all are so iconic in the comedy space. Like, um, I don't mean— I can't even— there's no words to it. So we just want to know— this is too late because we've been trying to make you laugh, so we should have done this in the beginning— but we just want to know Your sense of humor real quick.

People falling.

Yes, 1000%.

Yes.

Does that get a laugh from you guys? Yes.

I'm the awful friend. Yeah, you're playing. You could be bleeding and I'd be like, that's hilarious.

You're like, here's your tooth, you dummy.

I mean, a cousin of this is when Kate walks into a wall, which is like every episode of the show.

Oh yeah.

So falling, falling out of frame I think is my is even— is the best version of falling, I think.

Kate was talking about real life. Like, when I trip and fall, she's like, you'll be fine, it's hilarious.

Where she's a director, she's like, out of frame, perfect, fall into the mattress. Fart jokes. Like, Mindy, when you see a script, how often are you like, okay, I'm not highbrow, okay, I'm not.

But I, I think I like, you know, I've again 3 children under 8, they think it's hilarious when you call them a poopy head and they're constantly doing it. So I think I've just had a lot of have like toots, we call them at our house. A lot of like toot comedy in my home. We have like 3 books with toot in the title. You're so real.

She's so real. I'm obsessed. She's like, we call it tooting.

I'm like, I love that because it's like, because they have like cute, they have Asian grandparents, you know, like we're not going to say fart. But so I am, to me, I'm not as into it, I think.

Yeah, yeah.

I think same. I think I'm so desensitized because of my kids. They think it's so funny and I'm like, I'm tired of it.

Yeah, you're like, get a new bit.

Stop trying to fuck this one. Well, my kids are also trying to fart on me now. They think it's so funny when they fart on me, and I'm like, it's never going to be funny.

No, no.

And I, I, I have 1,000 brothers, which basically means I spent my entire life with them farting, thinking it was funny.

Yeah.

And, and it's disgusting. And, and, but, but But every once in a while, a perfect fart joke is really fucking funny.

Like, if it's perfect, it's—

you can't not laugh, you know?

Hannah loves a fart joke.

My brother has an insane sphincter muscle, and his— Oliver, if you listen to our No, I'm serious. This is real. If you listen to our podcast, you'd hear this, 'cause he farts a lot on my podcast, but he can control it. So he does things where he'll walk in my room, he goes, "Do you hear that?" And then all of a sudden he'll fart and close the door like it's creaking.

Oh my God.

And control the fart.

So he's an artist. It's—

you've never seen anything like it.

Wait, has he seen a doctor about it?

Like, is that—

are they like, you're an anomaly? Or that's like a thing?

It's kind of.

It's kind of wild. He's a butt Beethoven. Sorry, I'll stop. I hate puns. I do hate puns.

I'll say, butt Beethoven's pretty great.

So this is so random, and I don't want to like raise awareness about a man, but I recently just started watching Nashville, and I had no idea— he's in it, right?

Yes, yes.

He's so good in it.

Nashville's—

how much, how much do we love that show? And I never watched it.

Okay, anyway, this is—

why are you starting Nashville now? I'm sorry, like, didn't it come out in like 2008?

She's allowed to go through something.

She tried to make me start it. I was like, Hannah, I can't.

Everything Hayden Panettiere will ever do. I mean, it's a great show, but it feels random. Good, good.

It was like on TNT back in the day. I didn't even know how to get to TNT.

You're like, I'm gonna watch Royal Pains after that. I love it. I'm just— I'm surprised how unbusy you are.

We all were.

Yeah, she's so Paige.

Yeah, she's disgusted by you, and that is us.

No, I love it.

Yeah, no, but you love it. That's what she's wearing, a matching set. She's like, this is gross, but I need more.

I can't look away. But what makes us laugh? Running Points, the reason we're here tonight. Real quick, can you just go around and tell us— I swear to God, I'll fight you.

What are these texts?

What is that?

What's happening?

So I'm like, my Tinder is going off or something. Can you guys just go around and say what you— how involved you are with Running Point? Are you in it? Were you there when they filmed it? How are you? We're working on our English skills.

I've seen Nashville, but I've never seen Running Point. What is Running Point? So it's—

What is it about?

So it's on Netflix.

Yes.

That's why we're here tonight. And we love Netflix. Thank you for having us. And thank you for coming. We love you guys.

We love your work.

I'm a co-creator with our good friends Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen. Love, who are her wonderful— Dave is the showrunner on the show, and Jeanie Buss, the wonderful Jeanie Buss, who is the president of the Lakers, several years ago approached me and said, I'd love to do a show about what it's like to run the Lakers. There had been so many shows written about the Lakers, but never that mentioned her as anything but a side character in it, which is again typical of living in the patriarchy. I won't bore us with all this now, but she really wanted to do that. We developed the show. Kate wanted to be in it, which was, I mean, took it to the absolute next level. And, and because Kate was involved, we got these incredible other cast members. And that's, but it started like pre-pandemic. We were thinking about this. I, I had one child before this.

At any point where you like shoot, I don't know basketball or like I happen to, and as you know, don't know anything.

I'm very indifferent to most sports. Randomly growing up, my dad was a huge Celtics fan and grew up in Boston.

So sorry.

I know this is the reaction.

What's the score of the game right now? The Lakers are probably winning.

Larry Bird.

Look at you.

Dad loves Larry Bird.

Larry Bird.

See, we're connecting.

We're connecting. Larry Bird. And so he, we, we, we, he grew up loving basketball. I think basketball is the best sport in the world. The most athleticism, the most entertaining. And the Lakers, I mean, love the Celtics, but it's like showbiz for a reason. Like showtime, love it. And so, yeah, that's how it happened. And Ike and Dave co-wrote the pilot with me, and now they're, you know, showrunners and actors on the show. Ike, it was on this season, he's super funny. And yeah, that's how I'm involved in the show.

She is the show.

Yes. This is our boss.

I was like, Min is—

Incredible boss.

Min has created like, 3,247 shows in the last decade. So shout out to Mindy for running the comedy industry. Truly.

And, and for me, I sat with Mindy. We had a margarita and fell in love.

And you guys didn't know each other before?

We didn't really. We had met once before at Reese Witherspoon's Christmas party. We met at Reese's Christmas.

I have a lot of A-list celebrity friends.

What is Reese Witherspoon's Christmas party like? Like, what does she serve food-wise?

There was a lot of like Southern food, right?

Yeah, she's a, she's, yeah, she's a, you know, she likes her, her fried chicken. Oh, okay. Shrimp and grits. No, she, yeah, Southern food.

A lot of singers, like you said. There was a, there was a part of the evening that turned into Christmas carols around a grand piano. Wow. Which for me is like fucking terrifying. My worst nightmare.

And for me is like my favorite part of the night.

Yeah, she's on the piano. Was there a fountain? A fountain? I feel like there'd be a fountain.

Yeah, there was a fountain.

Yeah, there was a fountain like in her driveway.

Yeah, somewhere there was a fountain.

That's where we, we met there. But we had a fancy lunch and you were, you wanted the show to be cool. You didn't want to be involved in like a loser show.

Yeah, basically, that's what I said to her. I'm like, is this gonna be cool or am I gonna look like a loser? No, we sat, we talked. I've known Jeannie Bus since I was young because I'm a big Kings fan and I used to go to—

Yeah. Hockey.

Hockey Kings, not the Sacramento Kings, just to be clear.

And I got to meet Jeannie when I was young at the Forum Club and And I just felt like when I— I remember reading the logline of the show and I was like, "I'm gonna do this show." I just— I knew it in my gut. And then when we met, I had so much trust in Mindy and we've had like the time of our lives. And then I got to meet Brenda, who's become my—

Oh, so you guys met on the show too? Yes. Because your chemistry, like when you went to Toronto, I was like, Sorry, what's going on? Like, I really felt like it was like a real friendship breakup. I would have thought you guys knew each other before you filmed. It's out.

It's out. That's what we do with documentaries. We're like, don't tell them what happened. It's Ted Bundy.

Hannah and I have talked about this before, but I said that when I go to the gym, I never know if I'm doing it right, even if I'm watching a YouTube or a TikTok tutorial.

Now I know what that means. I think it's finally our time.

Hmm.

Okay, that's a very judgy "hmm." You just got out of an 8-year relationship. Have some fun.

I am trying to have fun, Allie. I'm trying to have fun with Jay.

Isla, your first post-love hookup needs to be low stakes. Someone you'll never see again. You don't like that guy when we were in Vegas. Or that guy in Cabo. Or that other guy in Cabo.

Okay, I get the point. I'm a retired slut.

And it's time for you to get back to the streets. So please don't text Jay or send him conspiracy reels on Instagram.

Ally, the sinking of the Titanic was not an accident. There is proof.

I'm leaving.

I have to know, as artists, do you guys like watching yourselves or does it—

No, that was painful.

I'm so sorry we put you through that. That was every time.

Every time it's always weird. It's never— I'll never get used to it.

And like hearing your own voice.

They're saying you're so hot. I was— I love how I'm like the gigglers. Let me translate. They said you're really hot. Also, we loved your fits. We loved your hair. Like the suits, the ties.

How much, like, say do you get in your outfits? And do you get to keep anything?

Some things. Some things I keep. You do?

She looks at Mindy.

She's like, maybe. Kind of. Maybe I take things from Mindy.

You guys have a kind of a lot of say, right?

Yeah.

No, no.

Oh, yeah.

It's so wonderful because the thing is our showrunner Dave Stassen is always like, I'm a man.

I don't know.

You choose. When it comes down to it, we have a lot of say and our costume designer is incredible. So we— it's so much fun.

Yeah.

And I work with my stylist Sophie and she kind of helps curate everything and and it's been awesome. I, I love it. I love the Isla looks. Yeah, they look so good. Yeah, it's fun.

Who takes the longest in glam?

Justin Theroux.

How long does he take? Way too long.

Is it the brows? Like, what is he working on? The man—

okay, but in defense of Justin, right? He, he's a handsome guy, right? And you get to a certain age, that doesn't come easy. Yeah, right. You got to kickstart that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, you had a lot of massaging, a lot of ice, face ice baths, lots of biologique, a lot of lymphatic drainage.

He's 70. And so for him to look— No, he's a young, young man. Handsome guy. He didn't look that handsome in Devil Wears Prada, though.

Yeah, that probably took a while in glam.

He still has a quickness in glam. That was him not in glam.

Yeah, that was—

that was him just showing up and going straight to work.

And I saw the movie and I was like, where's my Adrian Grenier? Where's my man candy? It was like the journalist friend that she had.

Yeah, they had like a guy with an accent. They were like, that'll do. Yeah, sorry, this is Devil Wears Prada 2 tone.

I'm like, I have to see this movie.

I haven't seen it yet either.

It's really—

they did it justice.

Yes, very cute.

Mindy, do you have any casting regrets?

What if I was just like, yeah, I wish it was Anne Hathaway and Sandra Oh, but somehow we made it work with these two.

Because I think the casting is spectacular on the show. Everyone is such a great character. The chemistry is so good in the room.

We were so lucky, and it just felt like it— and this is really a testament to Kate, like once Kate wanted to do it, it was, you know, getting Jay Ellis and all the great Octavia Spencer. They had this prior relationship and everyone just wanted to act with the cast. It was amazing to the point where I was like, I'm jealous. Why can't I be on the show? We feel really lucky with who is on it. I think Max Greenfield.

Oh, the best.

So funny and great. When you guys broke up this season, I was like, can I, can I step in? Like, he's such a cutie. So So yeah, we were, we were really lucky.

Do you have any dream characters that you would like, like to cast? Like any actor that you're like, I really want them in it.

Chet is, we love Chet so much. I would love Tom Hanks to be on the show in some way.

That's your long game. You're like, Chet, come on the show.

Listen, it does, it does seem like that. No, Chet is so funny on the show and, and, and whenever we see him, we're like, wish there was more.

Can we like FaceTime her?

Don't you feel like Tom Hanks, he's one of the funniest people alive. He's so funny on SNL, but he does these movies now and I love them, like Greyhound and Bridge of Spies, that he does like the dad movies now. And I want him to be in You've Got Mail. I want to be in something really funny. And so I'd love to have him on the show.

And we also love Ray Romano.

Yeah, I love—

he's great.

I also just like crazy comedians like Tim Robbins Yeah, I'm like, I met him today at the brunch.

Sorry, name dropping.

And I got so excited.

I was like, I love you so much. I didn't say anything.

I went, yeah, but I don't know.

You literally did. I watched you do that.

Yeah, I was like, and then I walked away because I didn't know what to say.

You know what's great about our show is that it sort of lends itself. We've kind of opened this world up to where anything's possible. Possible. You know, anybody could come on and do something fun for like a day. And, and we have so much fun on set that that's exactly what we're doing. You know, like this year when we did the, the, the basketball game and we had my brother and Speedman and we had so much fun when we were doing that, you know. So it's great. Well, I'm sure we'll have a lot of people.

Also, like, and this is getting increasingly rare, we get to shoot in LA, which is So it's such a huge part of the show. We just like, if we can, you know, I, I just think getting actors to come here, we feel so proud to be able to shoot here. Our crew is incredible. And yeah, so we hope that we can kickstart a trend where more and more comedies are shot here.

Yeah, we love, we love. We've all been there as women in the arts and women in STEM. Have you ever walked into a room and felt underestimated because you're a woman? And how do you deal with that energy in the room and then overcome it?

Wow.

Big shift in the show.

Eek. Let's bring out Michelle Obama.

I actually get— oh, okay, this is going to sound awful, but no, I get a little bit of a weird, like, hit off of when I can see when I'm pissing a guy off.

Yeah.

Like, I feel like I've had moments where I've sat and I've had to, like, stand up for myself in certain things, and you can just feel them hating it. And I fucking love it.

Yeah.

There's a part of me that's like, I don't know, I just— when I see that and I— because I— and, and I say this not as a generalization because I work with a lot of great men and I've had a lot of great support from men, women alike. But there are just— we all know them. And those moments for me when I know that I have a little bit of the upper hand and they fucking hate it, I'm like, I'm enjoying every second of this. It's not revenge.

That's the only way I orgasm. Sorry. Okay, we took it too far.

That was my bad.

But do you know what I mean? Like, there is a moment, you know, I think a lot of times there's sort of like those kinds of people who like want, you know, they want to pull the wool over your eyes and you're sitting there and they think they're going to sweet talk you or they think that they can make you feel a little bit like, oh, you should be doing it like this and then We're gonna kind of steamroll you a little bit. And I enjoy those moments when I'm like, nope.

I'm all jacked up right now. I'm like, put me in a room.

But that's how I feel. What about you? I know you're like, you're similar. Come on.

No, I'm like always at like a simmer. Like my rage is right under the surface.

You're so Paige.

No, I feel like I am, I feel so lucky I have like the The career of my dreams, like, it's everything. But also the scrutiny that I face versus my contemporaries is like absolutely crazy. When I fail, I fail huge. And when my contemporaries fail, it's like a quiet little whatever. If a guy does a show with about a bunch of guys and it's really guy-coded, it's like a— it's considered like high art. But if I do a show with women talking about stuff, it's like, what a cute little trifle, something to watch as a guilty pleasure when you're on the treadmill.

Yeah.

This is what's happening.

Yeah, and then it's just a simmer. I also feel rageful when I'm trying to parallel park a car and a man is like, jumps in, is like, I'm gonna help you. And I'm like, and they're just being friendly, and I'm like, I don't need this. Back away from my car. And I don't know, but that's not answering the question, but I—

well, that one you might want to—

I have it handled. I have a backup 'cause it's fucking 2026.

You're like, this is an awesome self-driving car, dude.

And women don't do that. And a woman wouldn't say, I'm gonna help you.

Imagine.

Women are like, I'm gonna go do my own thing.

Yeah.

And if they're just trying to be helpful, but I'm like, you know, go away. So that's— was that—

and you guys have been in rooms with some of the most powerful, influential men in Hollywood.

And wonderful, wonderful collaborators.

You've held your own. And we commend you for that.

Thank you.

I've never said commend before. That was crazy. Brenda, how about you?

I'm the opposite. No, I'm kidding. No, here's the thing that I, I feel as an Asian American woman in trying to succeed in anything, and especially in this industry, I feel like you always walk in a room feeling underestimated, feeling like it's going to be a no. And for me, it's always been about proving to myself my own self-worth. And I honestly, I say this all the time and I truly mean it, being on this show is one of the first times— I've been doing this since I was 3 years old. I'm 38. This show has really— has been the one of the few places where I truly feel seen, heard, taken care of, and where I truly feel like I have a voice. And that's really rare. And this Being with women like Kate and Mindy have really taught me to be unafraid to speak, like, to speak up, period. Because the truth is, like, I'll be honest, there have been so many times in my career where people are like, "Well, why did you do that role?" I was like, "I'm just trying to work. You think I had a say in it?" And that's what's really hard.

They make you feel like you have to defend every choice that you make when you realize that you're just trying to survive. And being on this show has really— helped me and really given me so much motivation to speak up for myself and to advocate for myself and to take risks that I don't think I would have taken. Like, it's the truth though. Like, when I started this show, Kate said something amazing to me because she heard— she had— she was starring in a show and also having an album come out. And I— when we were talking about it, and she's like, uh, you did this because for you, you didn't— you didn't want to have any regrets. You didn't care. And it And like she said it so casually, but it hit so hard for me because I feel like I was always so afraid to do something because I was afraid to fail. Because as women, if we have a misstep, it's like a huge failure. We'll never get another shot. And so truly being with these women has inspired me so much to be more like them.

That is so nice.

And that comes from the top down. Like that's from leadership. That's From like having Mindy on your page.

Lucky the men that we work with on our show are feminists, right? Like they all, they all like Ike and Dave have worked on some, they were on the Mindy Project for 117 episodes. Like they want to, they want to write stories about women, like demented women, but they, they think demented women should have a voice. And Scotty and all the, all the guys here, like they are, that's not always the case. Like you do a movie and you know, There's— I don't know, Kate, you've done this. We've been number one on the call sheet, and there's a couple guys who maybe aren't so happy about having it be that way. And that's like, we're— this cast is incredible. The writers are incredible. And so we feel really supported by the men in our world. And that's, that's— I would say it's not as common as you would think. So we are so blessed.

Yeah.

Also, for you guys to get to this point in your career, you've had to do scary things. Like, you haven't been comfortable. I know you all have done things that scared the hell out of you, and that's how you became great. Do you have any advice for Paige when she's nervous? I'm just kidding. No, Paige is beta-blockered out. She's fine.

I'm numb.

But like, we're in like this early part of our career. These— we're only 34. We're babies.

We're children.

We're literal child brides. We don't know what to do. We're doing a lot of things for the first time. That's really scary. When you're insecure, doubting yourself? How do you overcome that, especially when you're in the public eye?

In all seriousness, like, there is no creative field that you can get into without having to be completely terrified of putting yourself out there. So if you're not going to do it, then you're, you're probably not in the right business, right? So like, if, if creatively also what's so fun about what we do is that everything's new, which means it should always feel a little bit like, you know, kinetic and a little fearful and have those nerves. It's like anything that is a new idea, anything that's a new experience. Every time you walk out here and you do something like this, it's going to be a completely different crowd. You never know what that is going to be. That's part of why we love doing it. But it's also like you have to risk the fall.

You—

if not, then it's just you got to get in like accounting or something. Like, you know, you, you got, you gotta do something that's honestly, I need a beta blocker for that too.

My advice for you guys, because I know you have a show that you're working on, which, which is going to be a huge hit. Oh, thank you. And you are, you're mere children, I know. So I'm gonna, I hope this doesn't sound condescending, is when you're putting together the team for the show, which I know you're working on right now, It just has to be people that you're like, oh, that person is like obsessed with me and my voice, that director, that cast member, that writer. Because it's so hard to make a show. There's so many heartbreaks. There's such a roller coaster. But like, it's like dating someone. The people that you get in bed with, they can't be doing like for the money or because of this and that or whatever. It's like when you leave it, you're like that. When Ike and Dave Stassen came to be interviewed to be writers on The Mindy Project, they came to my house. They were both in full suits. They came— they weren't these comedy writer slobs showing up after the gym because it was like a female-led show and they didn't care. They came in and there were these well-raised Chicago guys who were— and they brought— because the show had been picked up, they brought me flowers to congratulate me, right?

These two straight men from Chicago came in to— in 3BCs because they wanted the gig and they were like— and, and that takes a lot. So like, my advice to you guys is you're You clearly have such an audience is when you are staffing, staffing up for this show that'll be inevitable hit from guest star to director for anybody, like, just get people who are obsessed with you, which won't be hard.

I love that.

I need more people obsessed with me. She's like, can my dad work on this show?

Yeah, I'm like, I know the perfect showrunner.

And Brenda, you talked about about being scared?

I always say when you're scared to do something, you know change is about to happen, and change can be scary. But I always say if you're not— if you don't want to make that leap, then you have to be okay with where your life is at. You know what this life is, and if you want to keep living that way, great. But no change— like, you have to take that risk. I always just say when I'm scared, just do it anyway. That's how I get into a lot of trouble.

I love that so much. Let's see what— okay, we have a special guest video. This is— we tried to get Tom Hanks, we couldn't.

Um, what's up, Giggly Podcast? Yeah, I got the giggles over here too.

Hannah Page, what's up? Mindy, Kate, Brenda, I miss you guys.

Um, had so much fun working with you guys this season. But you know, we can hang out with Kate if you want to throw another game night and invite me here. No, I need to have that going on.

Brenda, if you guys want to— if you and Nicole, you want to have you, uh, have me over for dinner or something. Okay, it got— it was too long. That went on too long.

Like, I was nervous. I was like, oh God, please remember my name.

I thought he was gonna forget get me.

I thought he was going to forget me.

He was worried. Like, he was like, he did not. Brenda, Mindy, yes.

Can I tell you guys, like, after he said it, well, the funny thing is that's also how, um, I love Chet, how he does all of our table reads that are Zooms. They're usually in a car like that.

I'm obsessed with him. He's—

no, it's a busy guy.

We're always like, where's Chet? No, he's getting on.

He's late.

He's a little late, but he's just like in his car.

Yo, what's up?

In front of a Planet Fitness. Yeah, with his phone propped up on the dashboard in a sleeveless shirt.

Yeah, I literally was— we were like, what should we do for the show? And clearly we had no idea. And I was like, can we get a video from Chet? And they were like, actually, that's one thing we can't do.

We love fashion, so we obviously wanted to show some of the favorite looks. And this is Mindy and Kate's favorite look they submitted. Can we discuss the dance routine and what went into this process?

How long did it take you to learn it?

I didn't have much time, and, and I haven't danced in a while, so like the Chloe—

she learned in a day. Yeah, she literally learned it the day before, and they're like—

and they come, they're like, okay, we're gonna show you the dance And they were just like, put it down, put it down.

Kate, Kate is a, Kate is a scam artist.

Yeah.

She did that thing where she's like, guys, I, I don't know, I, I don't think I'll be able to get it. It's very complicated. And then just did that on like the second. You, you were, so dance comes, you were easy.

She's a performer.

Yeah.

I used to dance a lot and then of course, you know, you get older and you don't dance at all. And so it, it kind of, it's like riding a bike, it's sort of comes back a little bit, but then, you know, I look at it and I'm like, I gotta go back to dance class. But it was so much fun. You know what they call that?

She's a triple threat. That's what they say in the business. Yes, in this town.

It was fun.

It was so great. But I really—

the best part was the outfit.

It's so cute.

I just like the little short.

Killed it.

And you're glowing. You were like, this is where I'm meant to be.

We had so much fun.

Also, this is me selfishly preparing for our show. When you're trying to remember your lines, because like you can learn, have new lines the day of, like, are you guys quick with it? Or you like leave me alone in my trailer? Like, what's your process? We're very nervous about remembering our lines.

Hannah's really nervous about remembering our lines.

I'm nervous. Can I tell you guys, this is Kate. Kate's like on a phone, on a FaceTime. She goes, I don't know what the scene is yet.

Hold on.

Okay, and then she'll get the whole entire scene. I don't know how she does it. I'm not kidding you, she does it all the time.

You just have to memorize.

I really think I might have a little bit of— I really actually have one of those weird— I could learn a monolog. Like, if right now, if I had like about 35 minutes, I could probably do a monolog.

This is annoying. She's like, that word comes easily to me.

Yeah, I'm gonna start lying.

But it's like my brain works differently than your guys' does.

There is nothing—

I kid you not, we've been on set before where Kate's like, oh yeah, we're doing this scene. We're like, no, no, no, we're doing this other scene. She goes, what? And she like, like, okay, well, give me the signs. And she like sits there while they're like touching her up and she has it in her desk and she's like— and then she like knows every single word. It's kind of insane.

So you never have to yell like, line. Do people actually do that?

I mean, Paige, they did it with us when we did something.

I will say that here's a trick that I use that I love is I, the night before, I don't, I read it, it's the last thing I do because there are studies that if you read it, it repeats in your brain. It's the last thing. So I go over my sides, it's the very last thing I do and I fall asleep and I wake up and it's usually memorized.

Wow.

What if you have sex that night?

Yeah.

What if it goes like you read it and then you have sex?

No, but then I have to go wash my face and get all ready. I have to do a whole routine.

You have— so you have makeup on when you have sex?

No, but these are important questions. Thank you, Mindy.

I also like— I still have like— but even if you do, I can't just like roll. I have a like—

I—

it's— you don't roll over and go right to bed?

Because—

but I like—

I have to fall asleep, but I don't fall asleep. I have to—

I'm not a good sleeper. I'm not a good sleeper.

I'm obsessed with this one. She's like, and then I have my rolling TV.

I can't fall asleep with a rolling TV. I need a rolling TV.

Why don't we have a rolling TV.

We'll talk after about your routine after you read your lines and have sex and go to bed. No, I just wonder if it needs to imprint on you and then you just— nothing— has to go straight to sleep. You can't be distracted by sex.

No, no, no, no, no. I can like— it's just the thing that I do like in like the— it's one of the last things I do.

But it's a good trick. Yeah, I will say, because you guys are gonna be the stars of this show, I think it was so much easier for me to know my lines when I was on the Mindy Project than I was on The Office because I'd be waiting all day for my one line and the pressure's on and you're like, I'm going to mess this up because we've seen this sometimes we'll have like a guest artist to come on and somehow it's harder to know your line on the spot because you're like, I don't want to blow it. But then when you have a ton of lines, you get into the zone where, yeah, you'll really be great.

I've been like auditioning a little and every now and then I'll just get one line audition. I overthink that one line so bad. I'm doing different. I'm like, that's not how people say that word. I forget forget how words work.

Um, so that's like when you're on mushrooms and like, and like, and like there's a word and you're like, I think it's called— I think it's popsicle.

Is that the word popsicle?

And in your mind you're like, no, it's not.

Our favorite looks from the show. Brenda's giving Hannah Coded. Yeah, I thought that was me. I thought me on the right.

I—

we love a tie. I joke that when you wear a tie, you feel powerful. Like, you can't help it. You feel like you have a dick, you know what I mean? Like, I know how it feels to just have something swinging.

Yeah.

And I start talking to people different. I'm like, what are you saying? I start explaining things and stuff. Like, I'm—

yeah, she fires me.

I'm like, when I wear— and I wear a tie when I was doing my standup tour, and I walk on stage, and I, I I think more women should wear ties and they look sexy.

And the funny thing is, we used to joke that, 'cause I would tie my own ties and all the boys on the show would need their dresser to do their ties. And I'm like, what? This makes no sense. And then Scotty's like, I know how to tie a tie, I just don't want to. I was like, well, you lazy ass, tie your own tie.

Men.

And then you look—

I love, I feel like you had such good looks the whole season, but I love when you're in like a monochromatic, just like I'm coming in to fuck shit up.

I was very monochromatic. I like the monochromatic. Yeah, I loved that too. Although it was hard to wear.

Yeah, I remember because it was a bodysuit.

I remember this.

I had to tuck it in a couple of times.

It was hard.

Yeah.

And it kept coming up and it was hard to get my mic.

Okay, back to advice for us. We, we have so many questions. I didn't actually run this by you, so this is a hard question, but like, you guys have been acting for a while. What's your kind of most like embarrassing mistake or moment that you've had on set? Because whatever it is, I feel like I'm going to do it. I think it's going to be with a toilet. That's what I— the, the—

don't put it in that atmosphere.

The trailers, that's stressful. Trailers are stressful.

Oh, you mean being in a trailer on set?

Yeah, because I get nervous tummies. I've never said tummies before. I was just looking at Kate Hudson in the eye and I freaked out.

You didn't want to tell Kate Hudson you Shit your pants all the time before I go on stage. She shit herself at the Devil Wears Prada premiere.

I had a stomach bug.

No, she didn't. She drank whole milk a couple hours earlier.

My mom tried to poison me with a latte.

Hold on, so at the bathroom at the AMC or wherever where the premiere was?

I wish we were at the AMC. We were at Lincoln Center, okay? We were at the real premiere.

She broke the toilet at Lincoln Center.

She literally sharted and it— yeah, you know when you're—

I was holding it in the whole carpet. I was like, and then I got to like the party area.

Heidi Klum looked at me and she didn't tell me till the end of the night because she didn't want to ruin my time.

Yeah, that's a good friend.

But yeah, what are like things I should look out for on set in terms of In terms of professionalism, like, what could I do that would be like, we'll never work with her again in this town?

Like, okay, it's for real. And you guys have all had experiences with this. Don't get romantically involved with a co-star.

She's married.

Oh yeah, well, we're married. We're married.

That doesn't matter. Not in Hollywood. Whoa, sorry, you see it all the time.

Don't have an affair with your co-star.

Okay.

Don't fall in love.

Do you find it's like you're— it's like manifesting, like you're actually—

you're gonna—

you're acting in love and then you're in love?

Yeah, you're gonna want to and you're gonna do it, but don't— just don't do it.

And is it because you're just like with them all day every day that you're like, that's the greatest person I've ever met?

Yeah, it's like The Bachelor. You're like filming enough that you're like, okay, fine, he's my husband.

Yeah, and like, in like 3 weeks you're like, he's the love of my life.

Yeah.

I think you have to be in that mindset, having an emotional affair with a coaster.

And you guys, okay, like, you kiss.

You guys had a—

we're all like an inch apart. It's all—

Katie's kissing everyone in this movie. I mean, this TV show.

Listen, Mindy wants me to make out with every single person. She's like, you're going to have sex with a lot of guys.

It's good TV.

Is the rule, like, no shows, a sad duck is the rule?

There are no rules in this business. Yes. No, it depends on how you— it depends, you know, if it's a tongue kiss.

Yeah.

Well, no, I mean, look, if you're doing baby girl, it's, you know, like what Nicole Kidman— yeah, you're going to get a little wild. Um, but if you're doing running point, you know, we're not baby girling. Uh, but no, the one thing my dad said to me was like one of the first pieces of advice my dad Kurt said, which he— the first, he goes, enjoy it, have a great time, do not fuck your co-stars.

That's it. And I was like, you married my mom, what are you talking about?

He's like, well, you could fall in love with them, but you can't fuck them until you really know you're falling in love with them, and that's your person.

Okay, got it.

But it's funny because that's the— so, you know, That's amazing. And I think it's great advice.

And then in Hollywood, the guys actually are good looking. It's not just like a guy named Steve who like is in marketing. Oh no, it's okay.

It's part of the party trick.

Okay. It's very whimsical.

Yeah, it's fun.

That's fine.

Before you know it, I'm going to be naked on stage.

It'll be fun.

Roger Federer, you just throw it out there at the end.

You love tennis, don't you?

I like, I like tennis.

I've seen you at the US Open, I feel like, or something.

I go to tennis. I like tennis. I'm not, you know, I, it's, I feel like it's my, I'm not as into tennis as you are into sports. I feel like you were the sports person.

You don't have a rolling TV.

I don't have a rolling TV for tennis, but you can let love tennis casually. You can love it however much you want.

I've seen you in a good outfit at the Open before.

I feel like, are they fun? I've never been to a tennis match.

I, it's a little quiet, like, for someone like me.

Oh, I, I'd be, that's, you can't be yapping, you know what I mean?

Yeah, and then you're stuck with your thoughts.

You're stuck with your thoughts. But, um, I do love tennis. I think it's, it's fun. You get to wear a look. Do you play? No, but thank you for asking. I could ever play tennis. Thank you.

Brenda, what's your advice based on a really traumatic time?

Okay, so I, when I think about organ— the, like, the most, like, embarrassing thing that's ever— I mean, I mean, I've done— I mean, I had my first I had my first kiss in real life on set, like when I was 16. Yeah, on The Suite Life. I had my first kiss.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah, I know, child. Like, sheltered, like, it's like so sad. Sheltered child actor. But I will say, so the, I think my most embarrassing moment is when you do a sitcom, they always, in the beginning of a show, because we're doing it in front of a live audience, they introduce the cast. So everyone runs out, we wave, and we stand off to the side. When I did The Suite Life, we did 2 iterations. We did like almost 200 episodes of this show. Like, I always did in high heels and like came out nothing. The very, very, very last episode, the very week— it's at the end, we're all crying, and I, I'd already wrapped up in my slippers, and I was like, okay, whatever. We go out, I'm like, my last one. I slip like it's bananas on the floor, straight up on my back while I'm crying. And I'm like— and I literally just lay there 'Cause I don't know what to do.

That's traumatic.

It's just my most traumatic, and I literally still have fever dreams about it. Like, because it's the most— Yeah, so—

No, that's a scary ass—

Don't wear slippers and run on a set.

But I feel like it made you funny. It made you funnier, and it made you stronger. Thank you for sharing that with us. Thank you. Thank you. You guys, I think we've really hit on everything, and these women are really busy and spared their time. I want you all to promise me you're going to go home tonight, go to Netflix, turn on Running Point, and binge the fuck out of it. And can we all please put our hands together for our amazing guests tonight? Thank you so much. This was so much fun. Give it up for Kate, Brenda, and Mindy. Thank you. We love you guys.

We love you guys so much. Thank you, Paige.

We love you so much. Thank you, Gigglers. We love you so much. Thank you.
