darling who can talk when you're you

know putting eye shadow on but I'll try

uh my friend that wrote it is here

because it just premiered and we're

going to the senior citizen

special he's calling it dinner at

5:30 the opera starts at 7 and it's

three hours long and so we're going to

go and have dinner at the Met and which

is very exciting it's very you know you

feel like you're in I don't know another

dimension when you go into the

Metropolitan Opera House but it's pretty

incredible just to watch the people that

show up and how they're dressed and how

they act darl I'm ready for you oh you

look fantastic

i look hideous but thank you

but let's talk about Catherine okay

let's talk about Catherine so today's

episode we're talking to Katherine we're

doing this fun thing where we're kind of

talking behind people's backs before

they come in just to kind of hear more

perspective about them and what what you

think I should ask her or you know what

you'd be interested in hearing her talk

about and tell me how like you how you

met and your your relationship with her

well we met on Agatha

um at the table reads basically um

Katherine because she was the leading

lady was incredibly generous and incred

incredibly open and incredibly inclusive

and embraced I think the responsibility

of a leading lady and that's you know

that comes without fear basically um and

she was fearless and generous and and

one of my favorite things about her is

she snorts when she laughs

so you know she's having a good time

she's a big laugher she's a big laugher

but but when you get to

snort something was really

funny and that's you know one of her

best qualities her snort she is a real

mix of a a a very poised and serious

dramatic actor and deeply goofy yeah

very very funny um and doesn't take it

seriously which is great you know what I

mean i'm going to ask her about this but

I want to ask you too i mean the

response uh has been huge for Agatha

it's everywhere it's viral Tik Toks it's

people waiting for you at the airport

like the the way you get this

giant huge new group of people who know

you and know your work what has that

been like i don't have the kind of

response that Katherine has gotten i

mean in in I know that it's so it's so

weird because because I do so many

different things people some people know

that I sing and do Broadway musicals and

some people know me from Steven's

Universe and some people know me from

Life Goes On and some people know me

from Agatha for Agatha and the ones I've

been getting more more fan mail about

Agatha and um which is great because who

would think that I would end up in the

Marvel

universe knowing nothing about it and

choose to remain that way knowing

nothing about it any ideas of what I

could ask Katherine today like any

questions

ask her if she's ever thought about

directing and would she cast me

i'm just curious to know whether she

would want to direct and of course I I

need to get

hired and I think she you know she would

be a riot behind the camera i think you

know they'd have to take take after take

if it was funny and she snorted i think

she'd be a great director i think she

would be a great director agree all

right love you Patty thank you so much

my pleasure talk to you soon bye okay

bye

far this is very new and I got a note um

recently from the great Bill Simmons who

is kind of like uh I guess my boss and

but um he is uh so good at podcasting

and is has created an empire and and has

allowed me to come and do it and he said

"Lose the ringer." And he said "Lose the

laptop."

Why oh just so it's like more

conversational I guess why do you I just

before I do I just want to audition it

one more time how do you feel about it

listen I think that that's fine for him

if he doesn't need one but if you need

one screw it this is your podcast well I

want to say to you and Bill that I like

to look things up on here it does take

me a long time

it does take me You're fact-checking as

it's going on i think that's good well

that I kind of was joking that I had it

to just make it seem like I was

factecking but I'm Have you ever used it

okay okay okay if it's just there for

evidence

maybe I was just

watching you i just have to catch up on

the pit

wait is that is that the medical

procedural okay great with the guy who's

already been on a medical procedural

okay great it's supposed to be great

it's so good okay I gotta get into it

that's what I want to talk about today

okay good just kidding okay well I want

to talk about Paradise dr carter aka

Noah Wy is now in a new show which is

nothing like ER but I'm a huge ER fan

but the pit is so because Bill told me

to get rid of the laptop I'm going to

put it in half mass good

and then if I need it I I do feel like I

want to I want to watch something with

you today keep it there okay yeah half

masked

okay don't close it but I But Bill I

hear you and I I appreciate the the

because it looks love and I I have to

say I'm still trying to figure out the

process of this so I so appreciate you

coming in midprocess i'm so I love

mid-process you do i do i do because

it's still figuring itself out so I I

like it i don't like I It's better it's

more interesting than a welloiled

machine

tell me more about that because you're

so you do you I love that about you is

you love the the the messy middle of

stuff i do because it's like a there is

like a little on your toes

um feeling of of of growth that's

happening while you're in it and that

always feels like super chargy to me if

it's like I don't know it's more like

sometimes it's good and like you know

that you're gonna hit this this and this

but I I love conversations and I think

and I know you do too that are like a

little not so prescribed at the

beginning you're so good at them you're

you're you're really really good at um

hanging in uh yeah it's what makes you

such a good person and friend but and

also such a good actor is you you can

like tolerate the in between which few I

don't know if I can I'm learning I'm

learning yes it is uncomfortable

sometime sometimes depending on what it

it really is but just to sit in it and

let it like I'm not talking about a

podcast but like life or like schmacking

yeah it's definitely like that in that

kind of like uncomfortableness I think

is

um like like the time that you're going

to be surprised did you know that let me

see if you can guess how many times how

many episodes of Parks you did do you do

you would you know to guess i would

say between seven and 13 yeah 10 10 okay

between seven and 13 that was my It's

kind of right between that's amazing

but it was such a huge impact on my life

like it's still the thing I get most

recognized for really yes and I just

remember Well first of all you were the

most incredible number one on a call

sheet because you had dance parties at

lunch every day and anybody that walked

on that like set just was filled with

such confidence and such joy which is I

had the greatest time on that show i

have such I don't have the greatest

that's where we kind of fell in love but

that is re that's really Katherine where

we I think actually met my first kind of

like real memory is in the trailer of

parks and wreck and we used to Katherine

is talking about dance parties and we

used to do a thing where just like after

lunch we would play three songs best the

great Autumn Butler our makeup artist

had great taste in music and we would

just kind of dance around for two or

three songs yeah the best i think for me

a way to honestly just keep my energy up

but it became a way to meet people in

the trailer and I remember two things I

loved about you right away how much you

love to laugh people that know you know

that like you you love to laugh if

someone's going to break in the scene

it's this professional over here you

know you I don't Do you think you break

a I have to be really serious in my mind

like if I have because if it starts to

happen it is tears

and mucus but you I have seen you in

bloopers and you're hanging in yeah I do

hang in you hang in i do yeah you in

fact go in harder i think when people

are like I have to I know it's a

survival technique i just have to dig in

a little bit i do i go harder i feel

like every time I've done a scene with

you you are so good at improvising in

fact like a lot of your character on

Parks and Rec Jen Barklay's moments were

improvised were they really well my one

of the favorites one of one of Tik Tok

and memes and gifts and just poncho his

poncho yeah poncho was So let's talk

about what happened for people that have

never seen that what what is it what

tell us what that scene was well I went

to Ben and Leslie's house um I'm

speaking as Jen Barkley my character i'm

first person now well for people that

aren't watching she just transformed

just transform her eyes turned dark and

she's a completely different person a

lot more

hairspray i went to their house they

have children uh I am not into children

at all i wore a plastic poncho so that I

wouldn't get any sticky fingers or crap

all over me and at some point the kids

rush by with paint nail me with the

paint and at some take just to make you

guys laugh i don't even did not have any

idea it was gonna be any i just swung my

arms open i went poncho poncho and that

really has become it has it's like

Batman's cape

i mean that was the best like I just

wanting to make you guys laugh and just

having so the the energy is so loose so

I like it's funny you say that

improvising again i can do it if I know

who I am and like the given

circumstances and like that I feel like

I feel really free in that department

just well you know how like we we were

on set a lot and I would watch you work

and I would say the same thing about

Adam and I wonder too if it's because of

your both of your training but I would

watch the way you two

worked and you would have a moment where

we you'd stay really really loose and

but just right before the scene and I

can think of a couple scenes the great

scene where Jen Barkley is telling

Leslie no basically you know you have to

start oh you have to start thinking

bigger which is a huge moment in the

show i love the writing and that's Mike

Sher and the writers like I just love

how they slowly took care of Leslie and

they sent people in to give her these

messages and Jen Barkley is just this

like Gen X yes um ballbuster yes who who

kind of sees something that Leslie

doesn't anyway in that moment when

you're giving that speech I remember

very clearly right before the scene you

just took a moment and I think we joked

about it later because

I was like it was like

watching it was watching a a real actor

oh god

just staying one more second on parks

because I do think that um it it was

such a formative time in my life

obviously for many reasons and one of

them was meeting you is

what I always use that us as an example

of is that you never know who you have

yet to meet no yeah i think you know

when you're in your 40s there's this

feeling that you've pretty much you have

your old friends your high school

friends you have maybe a partner and

their friends you have your kid mom

friends college yeah college yeah you

have like this all these different

groups of friends and you think I think

I've met everybody that's going to be my

close friends i have I I know because

sometimes those friends become just

family you know what I mean as everybody

grows and changes and like people

there's there and so in my life always

always but we are very different people

I don't know what you know and you're

right there are people like I think even

I've been in a lot lot of projects where

you get like intimate really fast and

everybody says goodbye but then there

are certain people where you I didn't

anticipate this like I did that was the

the one of the pleasures for me too is

like I did not anticipate that you would

want to continue to be my friend after

we did it and then the fact that it's

gotten like deeper and deeper I'm like

now I don't know how to do it i mean

like I am so grateful for you in my life

we've like we've been in the trenches

we've been in the trenches yeah we have

we have like we've been through a lot of

tough times together

we've been very honest with each other

yeah we've like I think we've

really like taken great pains to see

each other

like we're make it a priority and I mean

I know how I feel about how important

that is for me but what what how what

how are female friendships important to

you what do they do for you i think the

the real female friends that I have the

deep ones are fewer than I thought I

would have like the ones that are really

you know have your back through anything

and there's a difference like these it's

so important to

have women in your life that aren't

family to grow old with in a way that

it's like you said feels very honest but

and also hilarious but also doesn't feel

like we have to keep up any anything

together like keep up any sort of like

front it just feels like and also very

affirming like to walk into these next

chapters together just feels like it's

not as terrifying yes the witch's road

the witch's road the coven yes coven on

coven yes yes that's why I mean I that

is why when I watched that show when I

watched Agatha all along um uh that was

it was so moving you just to get

basically you must hold hands with

someone to go into the next step and

let's be honest our female friendships

and relationships are going to you know

with the exception maybe our sibling

relationships will probably last the

longest i know they will and I think

with my dear dearest women friends of

which there are very few that that is

such a source of comfort just to be

heard by another woman yes without

judgment without like anything but just

um love i know i feel you u speaking of

other women um yeah so we do this thing

uh where we ask people before we have a

guest to um chat about the guests so

like I kind of like wanted I want to

like and we got Patty Leone no you did

not yes

oh my god

I was so excited the wolf patty the wolf

the wolf

leone of course the wolf of course

oh my god i'm This is going to be the

best well first of all what if it was

like

Well she can't sing but yeah not

talented um no she she's so great isn't

she i know uh talk about you know a new

friend that I want to I mean I feel like

I keep I have to stop telling her our I

I have to stop asking her if we're

friends i just have to start believing

that we are but um anyway oh doll call

everyone doll but you're right to have

someone that is like in a different

stage of our lives that you can that is

so real

very important i I don't know about you

but I get very comfortable around Yes

older women who are very bossy um

because I get very relaxed yeah we're in

good hands we're in good hands and the

the few times that I've hung out with

Patty like she's like "We're going for a

walk." and she tells me what to buy and

and it's

just Okay so tell me about about how you

was was Agatha the first time you met

her oh yeah okay um and I remember when

they said it was Patty Leon I was like

"No." And then we I met her at the first

table read and she just came in with so

many questions which of course like she

knew nothing about Marvel i barely know

anything about Marvel so she was like

"Okay." A and it was just all of these

very detailed questions but then she

just forgot and it didn't matter like

she was she'll stay she'll still be like

I don't know anything about Marvel she

did she she told us that she did she

said well I don't know anything about

which I love i mean and also

and she said you guys met at the table

read and Agatha was a really big circus

to lead oh yes and you had to do a lot

of big stuff on there it was a lot of

swinging oh my gosh so much you know uh

if if one is to believe that acting is a

little embarrassing oh right you had to

do so much stuff incred birthing scenes

and crazy stuff and holding hands and

singing yes so much incredible stuff yes

but like walking the razor's edge cuz we

knew if it went one way or the other it

could be like "Oh wow." And America

voted and it worked america voted for if

Tik Tok voted tik Tok is my government

okay i know i got to get on Tik Tok it's

It's I think it's wrapping up oh I know

it's my perfect timing as usual still my

AOL it's like me and podcast i'm like

"Let me get in there." And everyone's

like "Now?" I'm like "Yep." Right before

the door closes but just for a second

what was it like to be on such a big

show making having to make really big

choices with all these incredibly big

personalities and people it was just it

must have been something we were all

there was no trailers to go back to

really because we were kind of far away

always so we would set up like a little

coven of our chairs in a circle so like

all of our crew chairs would be in a

circle and you could just hear us

cackling like the whole like I mean we

just laughed and Patty had a boom box

and she would get up and like dance or

start singing and we would all be like

like it's coming out of her mouth right

now so Patty wanted me to ask you two

questions well first she said she loves

your snort and we already got it we

already got it once i thought like it's

not as cute anymore but I'm still comes

out i mean you're talking to a person

that laughs like a I've been described

as a raven when a raven when someone

runs over a raven's foot that's how

somebody described my laugh one time so

I mean I don't know what you're talking

about it's the greatest laugh but ever

it's just I have a very witchy laugh too

and you have a very witchy laugh and a

very You do and it's a cackle and a very

devious laugh sometimes it is

it's a little cat that hit the mouth it

I just love it so much cuz it it's like

a little

devious and then huge caggles

and you have a great laugh too like you

laugh with your whole body i do you like

I do oh there she goes but I really do i

do i love a good laugh god me too have

you always been that way was that Where

did Where like Have you always been that

kind of person that loved a good laugh

in high school it started for sure and

then I was like you know I went to an

all girls Catholic school so we had like

a I mean that group was constantly

making fun of the nuns and so I was just

like crying all the time just crying all

the time just like h just floating maxi

pads in like the s in like Mary's pond

like there's like a statue of Mary and

we just like and the nuns would be like

okay so there are maxi pads floating in

the it was like always fit like that

just like fun church giggle stuff stupid

like you'd open up a locker and there'd

be like a huge dick the pop would pop

out on a spring like we were very first

my theory that Catholic school girls

were a so bad they were so bad but

because everything was you know uniforms

and there was like church every week and

it all felt like I don't know if I

believe in any of this yeah and then B

they were just like really ready to go

really ready to go oh I was like "Let's

go let's go." And they were I was like

"Any takers any takers?" And there was

not takers

i was like "Hey horny so horny." And I

was like

"Okay." I was like "Is it my overplucked

eyebrows what's what's happening is it

my Catholic school uniform that my mom

thought I was going to gain maybe or

like seven dress sizes but I was

literally like kids would go down and

see my skirt and just pull it off me

like in school so we had to wear boxers

oh yeah boxers were a big deal that Wait

it was an all girls school yeah and they

were pancing you pancing me skirting you

in in I did go to co-ed Catholic

elementary school and we would have

something called Friday flipup day so we

knew to wear boxers because on Friday

all the guys ran around and flipped up

your skirt oh my god yes and Thursday

throw up day Wednesday wedding day i

don't know what Tuesday or Monday was

after flip up your skirt and back then

we were like the price of being a girl

it is we were like "Oh we better get

prepared." We were like "Maybe someone

will flip up my skirt today." So [ __ ]

up so [ __ ] up so [ __ ] up and and the

teachers were like "If you guys are

doing the flip up keep it outside of

class i want to know about it." And then

I remember some guy some kid I was in

sixth grade called me gorilla legs cuz I

haven't shave I hadn't shaved my legs

yet and I was like horrified by that so

I went home and I tried to shave and it

was like a cheese grater it was like I

could see a curl of my skin before it

started bleeding and I was like what oh

I still have scars oh no i didn't know

how to do it i went rogue with my dad's

shaver in the tub oh no cuz of that

stupid boy it was that stupid boy i know

i had a stupid boy tell me one time that

I look like a frog that my face looked

like a frog and I just I still think

about it i mean I still remember i just

remember being like well I Yeah but you

just get that thing where you're like

well I guess I'll live the life of a

frog then like you just immediately like

well if one boy thinks it that then it

shall be so then it shall be so yeah

yeah I guess well I'll be they'll just

flip up my skirt and I'll wear my boxers

and shave my legs in the bathtub and

wear have a face like a frog i mean it's

horrible it's horrible the [ __ ] I got

for my nose my whole life really for the

size of your nose yes and that I had

such

a such a like thing about it that I was

like when I'm 18 I'm getting a nose job

and now I'm so glad that I did it no

yeah and now I love my nose i just think

people should know that you have never

gotten any plastic surgery not that

there's anything wrong with that but I

just think but I think also we I feel

that way with you like it's a time this

is a treacherous moment where you're

like have to leave behind all that

currency that I really didn't I wasn't

listen I wasn't like that was my that

wasn't my my currency in this business

was never like same which I think is

helpful going forward because it's not

but yeah I'm like but now you're now

you've gotten into mother phase your

mother Han now I have mother Han Because

honestly this is my Instagram thing that

my I haven't used since in the first

fight i kind of petered out on the

dumbest one i just haven't done it again

i put it on my computer and yeah I

haven't posted literally it's the

dumbest last one i know you don't know

what it is but it was just petered out

and um we tried my daughter tried to

find a name for me or like whatever

handle is that what it's called yeah I

think so and we couldn't find anything

with my name and then we saw motherhan

lowercase and I was like oh that's funny

and she was like you know the other

connotations though and I was like yeah

fine I'll be cute but then it has really

a very it does have a very specific um

like following which I love well that's

what I'm saying is there's this amazing

moment that's happening for you in

general where you know people that have

loved your work now for 20 years are

seeing you get this kind of next level

of um recognition and you know all that

comes with like the Marvel machine yes

and there is this also celebration at

the same time led primarily by gay men

but not just gay men and young gay women

young gay women who love the lesbian

kiss that you had on Agatha with her

beautiful Aubrey Plaza like that are

deciding to just like be like mother and

that feels like you're being anointed

which I'm like it's Ann Braftoft in the

graduate like that's what it feels like

there's like a cougary vibe yes instead

but I also think that there's kind of

like a

cuz I don't I mean that's not who I am

but I guess it also means

like I don't No what does What do you

think it means like teacher i think it's

like a way Yes it's like a way to

compliment someone's

wisdom and fortitude without making them

while still making them feel sexy

there's something that feels sexy about

it because it's very dom it's very like

she will crush you like it's a little

bit like mother right

um maybe you should have your Instagram

should have been you should have tried

to spell that out but but also there's a

reverence to it like a respect there's

like a there's like a loving respect i I

again someone else could probably break

down the etmology and what it really

means and we all know where it comes

back it goes back to like the houses and

you know like all the queer culture back

who are creating their own community and

family i love it i It moves me so much

me too and it's and it's it's just

there's some something that's happening

right now I'm noticing in real time

where women our age in our 50s in our

business used to kind of just be uh on

the way out for the most part there were

a few but a lot of them were not really

regarded by young people as being vital

Yes producers of things yeah and that is

changing it's kind of it is changing i

never liked milk i hated Mil me too why

do we hate it well because it's a porn

term probably by a lot of young by a lot

of young men that have a fetish for

[ __ ] older women yeah i never mothers

yeah and also I didn't like it cuz it

was like "Oh you'll still [ __ ] them."

Yes uh let me check they don't want to

[ __ ] in

i just checked gut check gut check butt

check and gut check butt check it's not

happening for you too it's like "Oh

great." I know it was like well I've had

a couple mils and it's like oh god maybe

we don't like it too because it sounds

like milk yeah maybe maybe because Yeah

but it's it just feels like it's from

the dude's point of view in like a gross

porny way yeah mother feels a little bit

more uh you respect it and it feels

more gay adjacent queer adjacent so it

feels a little Yeah um which I love so

much i love it so much i love the very

young queer women that are um felt

really like loved Agatha all along like

that was such a huge part of our

audience that was very very moving i

mean you were the first gay Marvel kiss

right i a queer Marvel kiss i don't know

i think I have a piece of paper let me

see

yep it's not on the Yeah oh yes yeah

yeah the first Marvel lesbian kiss

according to this paper that just flew

in hold on it just floated down from the

sky it's coming from the sky here we go

but yeah that it's pretty cool yeah

that's cool yeah it's cool that's cool

and with Plaza so it just could not be

cooler i know i know our beautiful baby

plaza um uh what's going uh and I'm

aware of the as your as a therapist I'm

aware of the time it's 11:48 i am so

fine with that okay just letting you

know cuz I want to

persect you have a long press day and so

I know you have to do a lot of talking

but and you have to eat wings you have

to you have to eat hot wings i'm so

sorry I don't have wings i know I should

be prepping before the my diarrhea kicks

in do that wings thing and you have it

and you're like no I absolutely not i

because I hate milk so I don't know how

I'm going to do it be a disaster for me

no it's going to be someone said peanut

butter on toast beforehand line your

stomach the things we go through for

purpose for no

reason what do we What do we have to do

we have to line our

stomach how did this How did this happen

how are we now doing eating spicy things

the sp and spicier and spicier while

being asked really interesting really

interesting questions

really great questions but um but the

the way in which we're like I guess I

guess for this show I gotta have

diarrhea for four days for four days

ring a fire but I also there's something

about it that I was like yes because it

just felt so um so unique that it just

is a really good example of what we were

talking about earlier like you're like

this is going to be fun i'm into it

you're into the the lack of control yeah

and I'm like am I going to vomit am I

going to I don't know we actually do

that is actually Friday but I have a lot

other stuff to but I am so I have a

couple days to prep my stomach it's like

a colonoscopy

i have to start eating but like in

reverse cuz I think I got to line it as

thick as possible so there's no way like

my throat down to my colon has to just

be lined with bread yogurt peanut butter

and just bread shoved in there show

business baby show business that's what

it's why we got into show business to do

stuff like that to just eat weird hot

stuff on camera for free for free um but

we were talking a little bit about the

like way in which you're getting

received like when you're out in public

it's a little overwhelming sometimes

because of the fandom of it all like

there's you're in a machine now that's

bigger than maybe some other ones and we

were kind of talking about that feeling

of like having to take on other people's

energy and how do you balance the

introversion and extroversion part of

what we do

[Music]

well please excuse her

[Laughter]

[Music]

okay oh god yeah that's a good answer

you know we were talking about hot ones

for a while you got all I need a Pepsi

AC um okay fans

no it's you know you're I mean Marvel is

a totally different machine and I am so

rarely recognized in my life like you

know I just walk out like I don't think

about it so I'm like you know I had one

meal with Carrie Kenny Silver who I love

so much and she someone came up to our

table and was like sorry I have to tell

you I love you and I think it's so

hilarious you go out of the house

looking like

this and I was like "Oh thank

[Music]

you." Well my thing is when people go

"Can I tell you who you look like?" And

I'm always like "Please don't it is

never going to be great it's never going

to be great." Unless it's Scarjo or

something like it's never and it's And

it's also so It's always someone who is

at a hard 30 years older than who I am

which is fine but okay so let's talk

about Philly Justice before we talk

about the studio and then we'll be done

actually one of the most the thing I'm

almost the most proud of okay can you

explain to people what we're talking

about when we say Okay when we were

there was a a bunch of the parks and

wreck actors it was Paul Rudd you

Rashidita

Adam and is that it yeah me uh we the

the original picture that Philly Justice

was born out of was me you Rashidita

Adam and Rudd and it was we had like

businessy outfits on i think we were

going to court or something or like so

all of us had like very businessy and I

don't know whose idea was it but we took

a um it was whose idea was it but we

were all in like kind of staggered

stairs and what looked like the front of

like a very um you know a courthouse we

we pretended we were on a fake TV show

in the '9s called Philly Justice or the

early 2000s and we all crossed our arms

then that became a text chain where we

started pretending that we were we were

just uh pretending we had been texting

each other like as the actors from it is

the pilot going to be picked up like we

were going to do like we were all very

excited it was like a David Kellyesque

show so there was like some cache it

wasn't like a shitty show right

katherine is playing like a a lawyer

question mark we don't know and um who

has a has a very tempestuous

relationship with Angie Martinez played

by Rashidita Jones and we're not sure a

lot of past lot I mean I think you guys

are lovers

amy please excuse her she knows not what

she's doing like um Robert Durst when

he's guilty and he's he's every time I

sorry every time I bring up being your

lesbian tendencies you start burping and

we're

like okay um but uh I mean I remember

thinking I can't believe how lucky I am

that I'm working with people who want to

also do this dumb thing yes like yes fun

dumb things to me are a love language

that's a way like it's like proves like

safety i guess that if you're relaxed

enough to do fun dumb things then you're

in the right place yeah and the more the

older and older I get I feel like just

want that yeah like nothing is that

important right um a great transition

into your new show

and the studio but it is the studio is

fun though it is fun and you mentioned

Katherine O'Hara talk to us about the

show and the cast i mean Katherine

O'Hara another goddess that I couldn't

believe we've only have a couple scenes

in it but I have gotten to know her like

through the press thing and she is like

we were saying like what I want to like

that's how I want to grow up yeah even

though she's you know basically my aunt

but she um is I mean on camera and not

off camera like just such a hu a good

egg and it's Seth Rogan and Evan

Goldberg seth stars in it and um they

both wrote all the episodes and directed

all the episodes with like one shot

they're all like wonders or some

invisible scenes wow i know but it's

really incredible because we rehearsed

each scene like a play like we had to

rehearse it a gazillion times with the

camera and then know when the camera's

going to be on you and know like when to

get out of the way for the camera and

still like try to keep eye contact it

was a It was like a The challenges were

so fun and juicy and and also you knew

that if you [ __ ] up one line in it

you'd have to go back to the beginning

so like the tension of

everybody really added to the tension of

this fictional studio Continental

Studios that Seth Rogan just became the

head of and trying to save it like it

can't keep it from the streamers and

also the like balance between art and

um money like blockb like he he's a

lover of film that just wants to make

like you know Fox catcher all the time

and they're like "You can't make it all

the time you have to make a Kool-Aid

movie you know?" So it's like the the

tension between and it's Ike Baron Holtz

is in it who's freaking hilarious he's

so good chase Sweet Wonders Peach

hilarious and um Brian Cranston has a a

recording as the um the money guy on top

of the studio and uh who do you play i

play um the market the head of marketing

your look is incredible it is incredible

and I feel like there's a lot of humans

in Hollywood that just dress label to

label so she's just totally got a girl

at Sachs who will bring the [ __ ] to the

office and she tries it on at lunch has

a tab running tab at Sachs nice and also

probably um you know what is it delane

that Do Street Market a lot of like

street brands she has big nails i

remember that right long long nails yeah

and no personal life so it's all filling

like a deep empty hole yes that she gets

um that she just lives at her job and is

it thing or can we It's weekly okay

great i have to say overall I'm enjoying

a more weekly thing because I feel like

we binged too hard i do too yeah it

gives me a headache and also makes me

feel like a little bit sick the binging

is too much it's too much it's too much

and you lose the

Yeah swallowed it that time i was like

three i can't do three on your podcast

three burps yes what is wrong with me i

just swallowed the rule of threes you

have to do one more burp for comedy

maybe that was the third and it was just

I swallowed it and now it's just a hot

people I know that listen to these

things and they have a hard time like

with uh whatever it's called what's the

um the word when you don't like mouth

sounds oh uh misophonia misophonia where

they don't like the the the milky mouth

sounds of people which I understand i

understand it i The worst is when you're

talking to someone and there's little

white cream on the creases of their

mouth and then when they talk you can

hear like and you just want to be like

slide them a glass of water you want to

slide them and I feel like this is the

end of our interview because where where

are we back we're back to water we're

back to water how badly do you have to

pee

not at all i've been peeing this whole

time oh right next time I'm going to

wear just I don't even know how it works

if there's an adult diaper or just a

bucket no you just pee the thing people

don't tell you about podcasting which I

learned when I first started you pee

anytime you just pee in your seat all

the men you're watching they're

constantly peeing just underneath their

table gross there's a stadium buddy or

have you ever seen the women's version

of that i have it oh the way you get it

my friend gave it it's like a funnel

because you can be like "So it isn't

like a straight shot." Okay keep it in

my car okay i thought you like keep it

in my pants i keep it I keep it in my

bed no it's a it's a funnel that you I

suggest getting it you're supposed to

use it for camping but I have it for my

car because sometimes you're in traffic

and it's and it's a Oh no like what and

I can you get that going while you're

driving a car i have never I've to be

fair I've never actually used it oh oh

okay but this knowing it's there i know

that you have a backup maybe also

sometimes if there's a questionable gas

station restroom I would rather cop

squat that I would rather pull over and

pee i've done that before go to a gas

station i've done that definitely in

places that um met like the national

parks where you like open the small one

it's just a hole yeah i just think I

just I've just pulled over and opened up

my car door and just peed

i think we all have i mean what are you

going to do what are you going to do

seriously you can't No one wants a UTI

and you can't be like a man and pee in a

bottle like a like Oh my god have you

ever been There's some streets in New

York City i know this is getting long

but there's some streets in New York

that are like the like the arteries for

getting off the bridges or whatever that

if you walk down it's like filled Coke

bottles with urine men are so [ __ ]

disgusting disgusting but I have to tell

you okay last thing sometimes Sometimes

I'm like "Women lift up the freaking

seat." 100% i'm like I have sat so many

times on other women's urine women you

cannot pee on the seat to protect your

own germs like you can't not sit on a

toilet seat so that I have to sit on the

key yes lift it up it's disgusting also

if you're really that weird about it put

toilet paper on the seat they have

things for you they have things don't

squat on the seat pee on it and then

leave and then leave you know what women

are disgusting too or wipe it off with a

And you're like I know you just tried to

wipe it off but it's still there [ __ ]

you're talking to a gal who left signs

in a in a uh when I think it must have

been when I was at SNL i was like who is

peeing on this seat yes i was like "Hey

news flash this is a disaster for those

that fall a restroom for a lot of

women." Yeah well last thing growing up

in Cleveland we had faulty um what's it

called you know when you flush a toilet

plumbing

ah age but my dad had a sign above the

toilet that said poop flush wipe

flush cuz if you put the poop and the

and the toilet paper in there would

overflow immediately flush white flush

poop flush white flush i'm going to

leave you with that anyho but I these

are I think these are important things

to say they are they are they are we

don't talk about it but these are But

also just women lastly lift up the seat

name you don't have to and You don't

have to lift yeah don't just sit on the

seat sit on it sit on it if you don't

feel like sitting on it lift it sit on

the seats sit on the seat what like

where are we that's why they just Where

are we you're so lucky to have a seat

there's a lot of people that just have

to squat if someone ran for like

Congress and their whole thing was sit

on the seat they'd win they'd win they'd

win they would win sit on the seat i'm

going to start making bumper stickers
