Exactly. but once they do, you can instantly use that money in your Venmo balance. I feel like people don't know that. I love having a Venmo balance. It makes me so happy. And I'm buying nachos with it. My Venmo debit card goes crazy. I'm not going to have so many nachos because of my Venmo debit card. There's also no monthly fee or minimum balance required, which sounds very you. And it also actually sounds very giggler friendly. So you could just check out with Venmo online if that's just more your thing.

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.

3:25We didn't have guys on stage calling them trash. This was an interview we did at the Netflix as 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 going to shut up and let you guys enjoy the live show. Hollywood! Wait guys, I forgot I love Torn. She loves Torn. I'm two beta blockers deep, so let's fucking do this.

7:07Like 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 looks? No, I'm obsessed with everything. The skirt is so good I don't know how to sit in it. You're perfect. But it's work is fashion. Yeah, right? You can stand the whole time if you want. I can't Brenda said she wore a very Giggly Squad coated outfit and I feel like she nailed it. Can I just say we had to dress up because this fucking audience, I was driving in and it was just like little clicks of hot baddies.

7:52It's the hottest girls ever. Night out, like Koreatown just turned into Vegas. Everyone looks so good. And they're like doctors and lawyers. And they just look like hot sluts. We're so biased but they're the hottest, smartest, funniest people in LA here. I rolled down the window and took a selfie with them. And the couple of boyfriends that slid their way in. Get out of here right now! Sorry, we don't do that. This isn't a Geeky Squad show. This is in conversation with important people. We don't do that anymore. We're professionals. We've actually, this is the first day we're meeting these three so we're a little starstruck right now.

8:29And 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 Well, we actually can't remember what's gonna happen if we don't have our visuals so it's We're visual learners how the sausage is made but We're gonna ask you some important questions about like the state of our nation

9:02Okay. Okay.

9:10Okay, so we're going to show you different things, and you're going to 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. This is how we're going to 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. Wow. Yes. Not every time. Not every time, but like it's your go-to. I love. It's easy. For work. I do it for work. Okay. So none of you guys have a crazy nail? I love crazy nail. In the aughts I did, and then I feel like we've all been shamed into doing neutral nails.

9:46Yeah, a little. It was 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. That was like Kesha's time. Like, bring back glitter. Or like the French manicure where half the nail was the white part. All white. It's all white, and now I know that that's lame. I love a crazy nail. Okay. Okay, and we're going to tell you guys what you are at the end. So Paige is doing math in her head for the first time. Carry the wand. That was mean. That was really mean. Cottage cheese. Let's start with Mindy and go down. I get the hype.

10:23I 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 put in your coffee. Yeah, there's girls on Tic Tac that like make bread out of it I've tried I'm Asian lactose intolerance. I can't I've tried I love cottage

10:53Also, by the way, I like to stand up during the shows. Paige will move. Paige will 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 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 outside the home.

11:33I'm sexist. I think women and children should be able to wear them. Save them. Save them first. I'm telling them. I think when Ike Barinholtz wears Crocs to the writer's room, I'm like, you should care more about what I think of you sexually. 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. 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.

12:10Wait, how have you ever tried it on, though? I'm not going to say I haven't worn them. But I am not. It's a hard no for me. 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. I've never went in an airport. No, we have Crocs. You don't even get stuck and you could like tear an ACL. No, I don't go sport mode. I just got booed off stage. Why would you wear Crocs when you have Birkenstocks? Or Uggs. That is so L.A. of you. I'm like, you've never hiked in a Birkenstock. Okay, okay. Now this is not a body shame moment. This is about body positivity and finger positivity.

12:55Do you have nubs? Or do you have witch long fingers? Or do you have something in between? Okay, you didn't have that witch. I have childlike hands. Childlike hands. I have baby hands. I have baby hands, too. Brenda, look at that rock. Wow. That's nice. But you still have... So you would classify yourself as having small, like long fingers. I have, I don't know what I'm, what are these? You have nice hands though, you have long fingers. They're like knuckles. Look at your pinky compared to mine. Yeah. Yeah. You have long fingers. I told you. I have knuckles. I have, oh you have very long fingers.

13:35I 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 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? My knuckles were like dragging on the floor And I thought I looked really cool But Mindy you could dunk a basketball Yes, okay No one believed me, okay Have you guys ever played fantasy football?

14:14I'm not allowed Oh you get too competitive? I'm not allowed. You've been banned? Have you been banned? Me too. Me too. I'm not allowed. Who is, what? Okay. It's like a doorbell. I think it's your email. I think 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 runs my whole life. It's like I will be just stat ridding 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

15:00Wait like in your house and you roll it around to different rooms because also like when our kids so 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, mom and papa 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. How dare you ask me that question? You seem so offended. No, I just, I don't have, I have no interest and I don't know.

15:40What 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. 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 golf. Oh. Do you play? Because I play, and I'm getting kind of obsessed with it, and I really want to be able to really understand golf, and the way you do that is you start betting on it.

16:31I 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 heavy blanket. Well, we've spoken about sports betting and how men are putting their homes up for sale to like Superbroad's gonna win a game or something. So we just wanted to raise awareness. Oh!

16:56That's great. This is a very inappropriate photo. I don't know how it got in there. Hannah put this in. And she was in Sports Illustrated recently, and so we just wanted to bring awareness. Okay. Yes.

17:12Now 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 Paige. Everything has to be 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. I'm long-waisted, short-legged. I'm the exact opposite. It's literally waist-feet. You look tall in a suit. I'm taller than Kate right now. I'm as tall as Kate right now.

17:57But if we stand up, I'm like two feet shorter. When you sit, you get tall. I'm so tall right now. We should do the whole season just sitting down. I'm your height. Because I have to wear these gigantic shoes. Apple boxes. I'm on apple boxes all the time and in gigantic shoes. And I'm still not as tall as tight. I'm also long torsoed. But you also have long legs. Oh, so you're so perfect. My portions 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.

18:32I 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 just say we didn't get to say this. We are so honored to be here. Oh, my gosh. Thank you for having us. It was so fun. We are such huge fans of each and every one of you in so many ways. Everyone got serious. That got me nervous. You're like London Tiddy put you on the face. I know. London's here. But yeah, you guys, this is such an honor. And for the gigglers to come and support all this. Thank you. Giggle the best word ever. No, it literally is.

19:18Okay, this one is when you're on FaceTime with your friend and something happens, call drops. Are you calling them back? Or you've missed the moment'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, we ain't got the time for that. It ended, it was God's way of saying, you're done. On to the next thing. She's so page-copy. 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 fault. That was my fault. Something happened, it was probably my service.

19:51I'm just calling to say goodbye, love you. That's me. That is really nice. I'm with Mindy. I'm out I know I'll be telling Kate There are times I'm talking I'm like oh Kate's gone Forever I'll hold her back and it's like I'm like oh okay I guess we were done You could You know what you could do is send the text Hey I think the call dropped We're good Right Just to make sure they're not mad at you I'll be in the most vulnerable mid sentence And then when my parents, and then it cuts off and Paige never to be heard of again. We'll pick this back up next week. Leave me for dead. Cats. Let me say, this is controversial.

20:40Think before you speak. I don't like Kate's face right now. Is it like cats or dogs? No, it's just cats. Oh. I will snuggle any animal. 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 three cats. 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. This is so page. But also, I just want to say, dogs are the patriarchy. Continue. I think... And this is bad. 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 I love a cat attitude you know I love 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 Unfortunately, they do sleep in our beds, though.

21:59Also, Butter looks like Cindy Crawford. She has a little birthmark, but no one talks 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. And she likes British names. Okay, well, I had two cats named Mac and Cheese. I had two. Oh, so you, too, love cats. I had two. Yeah, they were Persian cats. They were Mac and Cheese, and they were so cute. Great names. And I thought you were gonna talk shit about cats. I have to formally apologize to you because I was ahead of my time.

22:30Oh, voice notes. Sometimes you don't want it in writing, you know? You're like, if I ever get subpoenaed, it's gonna be bad. Someone saves a voice note, 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, especially because we're busy. We're walking around. We're like I can't call I've learned to love it. I used 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 McArthur sends voice notes because they're they're like 30 minutes long.

23:12Call them out by name. Call them out Scotty he plays he plays Ness. He literally sends the longest voice It really does. 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 two, it's like anything over two minutes, I'm not listening to it. I kind of read it. I kind of like go to the thing, I read it and then I'm out. Doesn't 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?

23:47No, that's the problem. Everyone 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. Yeah, huge fans. This is just staying in bed all day. Kate, do you wake up early? Yes. You're fucking running or something. Yeah, but I also 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 are saying it. I love being in bed. I love being in bed. 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.

24:37I raise my kids from bed. She goes, I have full fights with my whole family from the bed. I have three kids under the age of eight so bed rot would be my dream to do it I was on bed rest for my last baby who was two and the last six weeks I was confined to bed we're so jealous it was heaven to just lay in bed, take all my zooms and it's clinical I have a medical condition 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...

25:24How do I feel about revenge? I'm not a revenge. I'm a petty bitch. Yeah. I'm a petty bitch. Yeah. Do you believe the best revenge is living well or do you believe the best revenge is literal revenge? Great question. No, 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. Because I'm a big believer in that too. I do believe in karma. Yeah. I'm gonna be so cheesy. Please. I believe that forgiveness is the only way to peace. Aww. How dare you boo Kate Hudson. And now guys, she actually means it.

26:03She is. Can you believe that? We know, but that is beautiful because when you're angry and you wish bad upon people, Well, 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. She has time. She literally called me two weeks ago at 11 p.m. I was like, and then I think this will happen. yeah I have an Etsy which oh okay before we go we'll say what we think oh okay let's decide I mean Mindy is page coded 100 % page coded I'm honored I think Brenda is smack dab in the middle she's Hannah's son Paige Moon yes and Kate is all Hannah And Kate's me.

27:07This is good representation. Kate is like, she holds herself a little with more, like, respect. 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.

27:29Look, 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, I don't mean, 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, a thousand percent, yes. Does that get a laugh from you guys?

28:01Yes. I'm the awful friend. You could be bleeding and I'd be like, that's hilarious You're like, here's your tooth, you dummy You're gonna be fine A cousin of this is when Kate walks into a wall which is like every episode of the show So falling out of frame I think is the best version of falling 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 falling to the mattress as 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 think I like, you know, again, three children under eight, they think it's hilarious.

28:43Oh my god, when you call them a poopy head? And they're constantly doing it, so I think I've just had a lot of, like, toots, we call them at our house. A lot of, like, toot comedy in my home. We have, like, three books with toot in the title. You're so regal. She's so young. I'm obsessed. She's like, we call it tooting my home. I'm like, I love that. because it's like they have Asian grandparents we're not going to say fart to me I'm not as into it I think 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 you're like get a new bit we've seen this one 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 I have a thousand brothers which basically means I spent my entire life with them farting thinking it was funny.

29:36Yeah. And it's disgusting.

29:42But every once in a while, a perfect fart joke is really fucking funny. If it's perfect, you can't not laugh. Hannah loves a fart joke. my brother has an insane sphincter muscle and his if you listen if you listen to our no i'm serious this is real if you listen to our podcast you'd hear this because it's he does he farts a lot on my podcast but he can control it so he'll 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. You've never seen anything like it.

30:37Wait, has he seen a doctor about it? Are they like, you're an anomaly? Or that's like a thing? Kind of. He's a butt Beethoven. Sorry, I'll stop. I hate puns. I do hate puns. But Beethoven's pretty great. Also, this is so random, and I don't want to raise awareness about a man, but I recently just started watching Nashville, and I had no idea. He's in it, right? Yes, yes. So good in it. Nashville, how much did we love that show? And I never watched it. Why are you starting Nashville now? I'm sorry. Didn't it come out in 2008? No, I'm not allowed to go through something. She tried to make me start it.

31:13I was like, can I can't? I've seen everything Hayden Panettiere will ever do. I mean, it's a great show, but it feels random. It was like on TNT back in the day. I didn't even know how to get to TNT. You're like, I'm going to 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 page. Yeah. She's disgusted by you. And that is us. No, I love it. Yeah, but you love it. That's what it is. And 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? The reason we're here tonight Real quick, can you just go around to tell us?

32:00I swear to God, I'll fight you 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 were you? We're working on our interview skills. I've seen Nashville, but I've never seen Running Point. What is Running Point? 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.

32:47Love. Her wonderful Dave is the showrunner on the show. And Jeannie Buss, the wonderful Jeannie 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 because Kate was involved, we got these incredible other cast members.

33:28And that's, but it started like pre-pandemic, we were thinking about this. I had one child before this. At any point where you like, shoot, I don't know basketball. Or like... So, 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. I know. This is the reaction. Larry Bird. What's the score of the game right now? Larry Bird. Look at you. My dad loves Larry Bird. Larry Bird. See, we're connecting. We're connecting. We'll stop. Larry Bird. And so he grew up loving basketball. I think basketball is the best sport in the world.

34:08the 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 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. By the way, Mindy's created, like, 3 ,247 shows in the last decade, so shout out to Mindy for running the comedy industry. Truly.

34:47And for me, I sat with Mindy. We had a margarita and fell in love. 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 party. 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, you know, she likes her fried chicken. Oh, okay. Gramp and grits. No, she, yeah, southern food. A lot of singers, like you sing. A lot of cocktails. There was a part of the evening that turned into Christmas carols around a grand piano.

35:30Wow. Which for me is, like, fucking terrifying. My worst nightmare. there. For me, it's 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. You know what? I'm getting a fountain. There was a fountain. Yeah. There was a fountain. Like in her driveway. Yeah. Somewhere there was a fountain. That's where 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 going to be cool or am I going to look like a loser?

36:03No, we sat, we talked. I've known Jeannie Buss 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 I just felt like when I, I remember reading the log line of the show, and I was like, I'm gonna do this show. I knew it in my gut, and then when we met, I have so much trust in Mindy, and we've had the time of our lives, and then I got to meet Brenda, who's become... Oh, so you guys met on the show, too. Yes. Because your chemistry, when you went to Toronto, I was like, sorry, what's going on?

36:51I really felt like it was 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 a Ted Bundy

42:59i want to really quickly play a clip from this work of art He was like seconds from asking me out. Was he? Sounds like you were seconds away from offering up your body. Ali, there was a pregnant pause. 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 eight-year relationship. Have some fun. I am trying to have fun, Ali. I'm trying to have fun with Jay. Aila, your first post-left 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.

43:34Okay, 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. Ali, the sinking of the Titanic was not an accident. There is proof. I'm leaving.

43:52I have to know, as artists, do you guys like watching yourselves? No, that was painful. I'm so sorry. we put you through that. That was rude. Every time. Every time. It's always weird. It's hard. I'll never get used to it. And like hearing your own voice. They're saying you're so hot. 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. The suits, the ties. How much say do you get in your outfits? And do you get to keep anything? Some things. some things I keep she looks at Mindy maybe you guys have kind of a lot of say 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 it's so much fun I work with my stylist Sophie and she kind of helps curate everything it's been awesome, I love it I love the Isla looks.

45:00Yeah, it looks so good. 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? Okay, in defense of Justin, right? He's a handsome guy, right? And you get to a certain age. That doesn't come easy, right? You gotta kickstart that. Yeah, yeah. You know, you need a lot of massaging, a lot of ice face, ice baths. I mean, you know. Theology. A lot of lymphatic drainage in the morning. And so for him to look, no, he's a young man, handsome guy. He didn't look that handsome in Devil Wears Prada, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That probably took a while in glam.

45:49I was the quickest in glam. That was him not in glam. Yeah, 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. They had like a guy with an accent. They were like, that'll do. Sorry, this is Devil Wears Prada 2 talk. I'm like, I have to see this movie. It's really, they did it justice. Yes, very cute. Mindy, do you have any casting regrets?

46:22What if I was just like, yeah, I wish it was Anne Hathaway and Sandra Oh, but somehow we made it work with these two. 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, 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 was on it.

47:01I think Max Greenfield. So funny and great when you guys broke up this season. I was like, can I can I step in? He's such a cutie. So, yeah, we were we were really lucky. Do you have any dream characters that you would 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. If that's your long game, you're like, Chet, come on the show. It does seem like that. No, Chet is so funny on the show. And whenever we see him, we're like, I wish there was more. Can we FaceTime him? Don't you feel like Tom Hanks, he's one of the funniest people alive.

47:43I'd be so funny on SNL, but he does these movies now, and I love them, like Greyhound and Bridge of Spies. He does the dad movies now, and I want him to be, and you've got me, I want him 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 Robinson. Yeah. I met him today at the brunch, sorry, name dropping. I did too, and I got so excited. I was like, I love you so much. I didn't say anything, I went... Yeah, but I, you know... You literally did, I watched you do that. Yeah, I was like...

48:20And 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. You know, anybody could come on and do something fun for, like, a day. 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 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. I'm sure we'll have a lot of people. We 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.

49:00We just, like, if we can, you know, 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.

49:19We'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'm gonna be sorry. I actually get, okay, this is gonna sound awful, but I get a little bit of a weird 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 stand up for myself in certain things, and you can just feel them hating it. And I fucking love it.

50:13There's a part of me that's like, I don't know. I just, when I see that and I, 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, oh, I'm enjoying every second of this. It's not revenge. That's the only way I orgasm.

50:51Sorry. Okay, we took it too far. That was my bad. But do you know what I mean? There is a moment, I think a lot of times there's sort of like those kinds of people who 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 going to 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.

51:26No, 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 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.

52:08Yeah, 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, that's not answering the question. But I thought I wanted to. Well, that one you might want to. I have it handled. I have a backup crammer because it's fucking 2026. You're like, this isn't a self-driving car, dude. And women don't do that. And a woman wouldn't say, I'm going to help you. Imagine. Women are like, I'm going to go do my own thing.

52:46Yeah. And they're just trying to be helpful. But I'm like, you know, go away. So that's, was that anything? You guys have been in rooms with some of the most powerful, influential men in Hollywood. And wonderful, wonderful collaborators. And 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 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 gonna be a no.

53:26And for me, it's always been about proving to myself my own self-worth. And 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 three years old. I'm 38. This show has really been 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 show, being with women like Kate and Mindy have really taught me to be unafraid to speak up, period. Because the truth is, I'll be honest, there have been so many times in my career where people are like, well, why did you do that role?

54:06I was like, I'm just trying to work. You think I got 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 hurt she hadn't she was starring in a show and also having an album come out And I we were talking about it and she's like ah you did this because for you you didn't you didn't want to have any regrets You didn't care and it 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.

54:59We'll never get another shot And so truly being with these women has inspired me so much to be more like them And that comes from the top down like that's from leadership that's from like having Mindy and Kate Lucky, the men that we work with on our show are feminists, right? Like, they all, like, Ike and Dave have worked on, they were on the Mindy Project for 117 episodes. Like, they want to write stories about women, like, demented women, but they think demented women should have a voice. Yes. And Scotty and 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 No Call Sheet, and there's a couple guys who maybe aren't so happy about having it be that way.

55:46And that's, like, this cast is incredible. The writers are incredible. And so we feel really supported by the men in our world. And that's, I would say it's not as common as you would think. So we are so blessed. 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 we're in this early part of our career.

56:21We'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, 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 probably not in the right business, right? So 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.

57:08It'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. If not, then it's just you got to get in like accounting or something. Like, you know, you've got to do something that's unbelievable. 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 is going to be a huge hit. Oh, thank you.

57:44And you are mere children, I know. Thank you. So I hope this doesn't have a 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.

58:21They were both in full suits. They came, they weren't these comedy writer slobs showing up after the gym because it was like 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 three BC's 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 so talented you clearly have such an audience is when you are staffing up for this show that'll be an 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 like yeah i know she's like can my dad work yeah i'm like i know the perfect show runner and brenda you talked about being scared i 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 where your life is at you know what your this life is and if you want to keep living that way great but no no change like you have to take that risk I always just say when I'm scared just do it anyway it's how I get into a lot of trouble I love that so much let's see what okay oh 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, Paige, what's up Mindy, Kate, Brenda I miss you guys 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 you know what type of that going on Brenda if you guys want to if you and Nicole you want to have me over for dinner or something it was too long, that went on too long I was nervous I was like oh god please remember my name I thought he was going to forget me I thought he was going to forget me I think he was worried he was like Brenda, Mindy, yes I felt like he was psyched after he said it.

1:00:44Well, the funny thing is that's also how, 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. No, it's in 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. He's like, yo, fuck what's up? In front of a Planet Fitness with his phone propped up on the dashboard and he's in a sleeveless shirt. 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 do when the hotter months come around I like to go a little bit lighter with my makeup because I just sweat it off it feels icky and honestly all I want to do is wash it off but with Jones Road they have this miracle bomb that truly is the best whenever I get anything from Jones Road my mom immediately wants to take it so I've ended up just ordering double.

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 I haven't danced in a while. So, like, Chloe, the choreographer. She learned in a day. Yeah. But she literally learned it the day before. And they come and they're like, okay, we're going to show you the dance. And they were just like. Kate is a scam artist. She did that thing where she's like, guys, I don't know. I don't think I'll be able to get it.

1:05:31It's very complicated. And then just did that on the second. Dance comes, you were easy. She's a performer. I used to dance a lot. And then, of course, you get older and you don't dance at all. And so it's like riding a bike. It sort of comes back a little bit. But then I look at it and I'm like, I got to 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 in this town. It was fun. It was so great. But I really, the best part was the outfit. It's so cute. I like those little shorts. And you're glowing. You were like, this is where I'm meant to be.

1:06:11I was happy. 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 I'm nervous can I tell you guys this is Kate Kate's like uh on a phone on a FaceTime she's 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 a photographic memorize i think i might have a little bit of i really actually have a one of those weird i could learn a monologue like if right now if if if i had like about 35 minutes i could probably do a monologue this is annoying she's like that weird comes easily to me yeah i'm not kidding it's my legs and my toes i'm gonna start laughing no but it's like my brain works differently than your guys there is nothing I get you not we've been on set before where the kids like oh yeah, we're doing this thing like no No, we're doing this other scene.

1:07:15She goes what and she likes like okay Well, give me the signs and she like sits there while they're like touching her up as she has it in her desk 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? Paige they did it with us. Yeah, 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 our study is that if you read it it repeats in your brain it's the last thing so I go over my side 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 oh yeah and then I have sex no but then I have to go wash my face and get all right I have to do a whole routine you have so you make up on when you have sex no but these are the important questions thank you mindy but even you do i can't just like roll i have a like it's you don't roll over and go right to bed because but i like i don't sleep but i don't like i'm not a good sleeper i'm not a good sleeper i'm obsessed with where this went she's like and then i have my rolling tv i can't hold a rolling tv i need a rolling tv yeah now why don't we have a rolling tv

1:08:31We'll talk after about the routine after you read your lines 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 something. 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. That's a good trick. Yeah. I will say, because you guys are going to 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.

1:09:01Because we've seen this sometimes. We'll have a guest artist to come on and somehow it's harder to know you're lying 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, it'll be great. I've been 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. I forget how words work. so that's like when you're on mushrooms and like there's a word and you're like I think it's 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 I thought that was me we love a tie I joke that when you wear a tie, you feel powerful.

1:09:57Like, 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. And I start talking to people different. I'm like, what are you saying? I start explaining things and stuff. Yeah, she fires me. And I wear a tie when I was doing my stand-up tour and I walk on stage. I think more women should wear ties. And they look sexy. And the funny thing is, Lisa joke that, because 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 this guy's like, I know how to tie a tie.

1:10:30I just don't want to. I was like, well, you lazy ass, tie your own tie. Men. And then you love. 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. I loved that too, although it was hard to wear. Yeah, remember, because it was a bodysuit. I remember this. I had to tuck it in a couple times. It was hard. And it kept coming up, and it was hard to get my mic. Okay, back to advice for us. 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.

1:11:08What'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 feel like it's going to be with a toilet. That's what I... Don't put it in the 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 or before? She shit herself at the Devil Wears Prada premiere.

1:11:44Wait, really? I had a bug. 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 premier was? No. I wish we were at the AMC. We were at Lincoln Center, OK? We were at the real premier. She broke the toilet at Lincoln Center. She literally sharted and it, yeah. Well, you know when you're, I was holding it in the whole carpet, I was like, and then I got to the party area. Heidi Klum looked at me and... She didn't tell me until the end of the night because she didn't want to ruin my time.

1:12:24That's a good friend. But again, what are things I should look out for on set in terms of professionalism? What could I do that would be like, we'll never work with her again in this town. Okay, for real, and you guys have all had experiences with this, don't get romantically involved with a co-star. She's married. You're married. We're married. Don't have an affair with a co-star. That doesn't matter. Not in Hollywood. Sorry. You see it all the time. Guys, don't have an affair with your post-arts. Don't have an affair. Don't fall in love. Do you find it's like manifesting, like you're acting in love, you're acting in love, and then you're in love.

1:13:02Yeah, you're gonna want to, and you're gonna do it. But 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. in like three weeks you're like he's the love of my life acting you have to be in that mindset having an emotional affair with a co-star and you guys are kissed like you kiss have you guys had emotional affairs Kate is 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 long guy it's good TV is the rule Every other show is a sad documentary.

1:13:46There are no rules in this business. Yes. No, it depends on how you... It depends. If it's a tongue kiss. Well, no. I mean, look, if you're doing baby girl, you know, like what Nicole Kidman, yeah, you're going to get a little wild. But if you're doing running point, you know, we're not baby girling. But no, one thing my dad said to me was like one of the first pieces of advice my dad Kurt said, which 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 can 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.

1:14:34Okay, got it. But it's hard because that's the... So, you know. That's an amazing story. 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 fun. I'm going to be naked on stage. It'll be fun. Like Roger Federer. You just throw it out there at the end. You love tennis, don't you? I like tennis. I've seen you at the US Open, I feel like, or something. I go to tennis. I like tennis. You double. I feel like it's my I'm not as into tennis as you are into sports I feel like you're the sports person You don't have a rolling TV There's no shame But you can love tennis casually You can love it however much you want I've seen you in a good outfit Are they fun?

1:15:24I've never been to a tennis match It's a little quiet For someone like me You can't be yapping Do you know what I mean? And then you're stuck with your thoughts But I do love tennis I think it's it's fun. You get to wear a Luke. Do you play? No, but thank you for asking

1:15:45Brenda, what's your advice based on a really traumatic time? Okay, so I when I think about organ like the most Like embarrassing thing that's I mean, I mean I've done I mean I had my first kiss in real life on set Like when I'm 16. Yeah on the Suite Life. I had my first. Oh my gosh Yeah, I know, child actor. Like, King is so sad. Shelter child actor. But I will say, so I think my most embarrassing moment is when you do a sitcom, they always, in the beginning of a show, because we're doing in front of a live audience, they introduce the cast. So everyone runs out, we wave, and we stand off to the side.

1:16:25When I did The Suite Life, we did two iterations. We did almost 200 episodes of this show. I always did in high heels and came out nothing. I think the very, very, very last episode, the very week, it's at the end, we're all crying, and I'd already wrapped up, I was in my slippers, and I was like, okay, whatever. We go out, and 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, because I don't know what to do. That's traumatic. That's my most traumatic, and I literally still have fever dreams about it, because it's the most, yeah, so.

1:17:02No, that's the scariest. 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. I don't know. Thank you for sharing that with us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You guys, I think we've really hit on everything. And these women are really busy and like 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.
