Summary
Kaley Cuoco returns to Armchair Expert to discuss her new MGM+ thriller series 'Vanished,' her animal rescue ranch, her relationship with fiancé Tom Pelphrey, and her journey from Big Bang Theory to diverse acting roles. The conversation covers personal topics including parenting philosophies, separate sleeping arrangements in relationships, and her authentic approach to her pet food brand.
Insights
- Successful actors benefit from developing emotional resilience and indifference to public criticism, which allows them to make authentic career and personal choices without external validation
- Separate sleeping arrangements can strengthen relationships by prioritizing individual sleep quality and reducing resentment, challenging traditional marriage expectations
- Building a personal brand around genuine passions (like animal rescue) creates authentic business opportunities that resonate with audiences more than forced endorsements
- Career longevity in entertainment requires adaptability and willingness to take diverse roles after major success, rather than attempting to replicate past achievements
- Parenting philosophies that prioritize individual family values over societal judgment lead to better outcomes and reduced parental anxiety

I mean that was a height of COVID I was in a lockdown in Canada when I talked to you know that bird 2020. Yeah. Yeah. Oh no Vembra. That's right. No Vembra. I'm glad to have you in person. What a town do you live in? Thousand oh, it's my parents still live in thousand oh, it's a now I made my way back. That's sweet. So happy You are complaining. Yes. We love where we live because it's removed. It's removed. It's not LA. Yeah, the ranch St. Ines the ranch is Wesley so Bateman grew up hanging out with that guy Murdoch on Dole dole like bananas. That's the money guy pineapple bananas. He bought one night He had originally owned one either island in Hawaii because the banana plantation. Yeah, you know a little more About him that I did so he hung out with this kid and yet he built that sure would like Yeah, I think I think I think I think I think that is true something happened. They have Another kid died in a Ferrari. Yes, then I'm the one I'm actually has there a bit of move I feel like there should be yeah, that's something. Did you know any of those families? No, we got this ranch I think I've probably had it for seven or eight years now. Okay, that's a newer space to us. So we live 15 minutes from the ranch Okay, which is amazing the ranch is gorgeous. I was watching you interview there and it looked like Sanny and I was valid It's stunning. It's so cool. It's 40 flat acres, which is like very rare So it's all usable and like 8,000 animals Wow Not really but a lot. It's turned into a full rescue Whoa, I've wrote them down. You got a song key. Tell me about a zonky new incredible name for an animal You can guess what that is right? Yes, so we get a lot of our animals from all-mish country and we end up rescuing a lot of them because you know a lot of them are worker animals It can be a little weird So we have two zonkeys from all-mish country. They were trying to sell you know They try and breed these things this is not normal. They obviously Mate a donkey and a zebra. It's totally fucked up. Where does the zebra come from other than obviously Africa? I have no idea. I don't even know how they attain these sorts of creatures Yeah, there's some we have started to attain a few It's a little word of mouth with us. They kind of know that we have the space and I can't say no to anything so I take in So many animals. I mean we have people that have to live there now and I'll sneak some in sometimes like I'm like Do you think they'll notice if I add this duck? I'm like Five ducks when they're six and I was like wait a minute like I'm not like no, they're always here No, that guy was just hiding. I have the space down. That's always been the dream to have the space That's nice. That's a beautiful thing. Are there any you regret? Like do you have anything as raising hell over there? Because the birds are assholes. No totally and this guy he's not She's actually very shy, but we've done a really good job of managing and what's amazing about animals is people get afraid They come in they go they all live together like a lot of the little ones live together Don't they fight and they figure it out. Yeah, we're getting in their way Yeah, in this day and age everyone's like oh don't let that one play with that people did that with kids too Yes, let them decide. Yeah, they'll be fine They know how to get the pecking order going they do and the animals are the same way and they figured out They get a little arguments and things but they know who's the boss Oh, yeah, they know who not to mess with who is the boss? You know who the real boss is the pigs Oh, yeah, pigs are fucking out of the house Walk it around everyone else kind of like you know the goats kind of go Okay, just let them walk out because they're so smart and they're huge they're huge They have tusks virtually they have huge canine they can totally bite no, it's hilarious But it's kind of sink or swim and like if you can't figure it out here You can't figure it out anywhere. Do you think you're on a slippery slope to like getting a tiger? 100% go to slow but this point is like I want to drop Yeah, I feel like I want things we shouldn't have like a rhino I want things that we a hundred percent slippery Yes, yeah, no Yes, I can't tell you the thing that would be great for you to get because okay My mom lived in Hood River Oregon for a while and we discovered this place this man had a farm And he had all these crazy animals He was a very sweet man and the girls fell over the giraffes. It was great He had his favorite thing was these back tree and camels and They're so beautiful like he had this one that was like his girl And she went everywhere with him and they're in crazy smart Yes, I was like of all these things that is the coolest thing this back tree and camel and they live I guess in the most extreme there in negative 20 and also 120 they can hang anywhere Well now I want yes, I'm trying to unload a back Pretty camel I'll take it because the eyes they're like cartoon They have eyelashes. Yes, she was pretty. Oh my god. I never even thought I could have a camel Now back to the zebra Okay, I want to not be disparaging to the Amish because I grew up around them. I understand totally they're lovely And they're like woodworkers. Yes, I know it's amazing. I admire the close-knit family I totally agree with you but I cannot help but call out a little bit of a hypocrisy Which is like for some reason God doesn't want them to drive cars. Yeah, that makes sense I understand the logic cup it. Yeah, why if God wanted a zonky he would have made one Why are you free to cross pollinate species? Listen this is happening all over people are do crazy shit Yeah, I was not just like this stuff We think because we have a lot of dwarf ponies We have many ponies a lot of these animals again better overbred in such a terrible way that it's like that's not supposed to look like that And people have them for parties and kids gets all over the country We have a big animal problem go down that hole But I do think when we're getting them from the Amish country that worker animals they use horses to get around There's a lot of animals that are working for that. Yes So when they kind of finish that job where did they go and so we've actually been able to take a few and let them live with us I'm really hung up on the zonky. What does it look like more like the zebra and more like the donkey? Or like the donkey striped legs I'm gonna send you a picture after this so the striped legs, but then a gray body. Okay, and then the Dementor of a donkey I guess yeah, very calm very sweet. I'm dying to nozzle her and she will not quite let that happen Okay, hard to get get in there and I want to kiss it. Have you been malder attacked or ranny's okay? I'm not gone You could be its own reality show at that ranch. Did you watch chimp crazy? No It's so kind of surprise you can't with the munchies. I can't can makes you sad. Yeah, I can't watch anything with animals Well, you see the cartoon line My daughter has seen it too. Okay, it's one of the least ones we watch actually she watches everything But that's not the one we watch as much. She likes accession That's right That was actually true. I handed her my iPad. I was watching that I wanted to see how long she would like the hate I got for that My how could you I'm like calm down big time calm down. Huh I Watch that with the most amount of tension. I've ever watched someone do a talk show appearance I'm quietly applauding it right because it's like the shaming of everyone's parenting is such an epidemic and I was like Oh, this bitch is going hard. She's gonna say exactly what's happened and fuck all y'all if you have a problem I feel bad that they're not doing what I'm doing. Yeah, it's working out great for me Yeah, it's amazing. We'll watch this. Yeah, you can do Sunday TV. That's wild now that I have my own I Wouldn't ever tell someone or say don't do that. I would never other than you are a corporate punishment If you saw someone getting their ass kicked that's different right right, but it's like I could never say oh I don't think you should show her that or I don't think you get that kid better feed them that it's like Fuck it my son of you It blows my mind how brave some of these people are Audition isn't it insane? You know you get to define what is important to you as a parent some people then decide That's how every single person should be thinking about it too. It's why the heat I've gotten for like one time we said we don't bathe the kids every night I'm like we get when they're babies, but get real. They're not fucking dirty That was a whole stink up then I said when they are 18 I'd offer to pay for them to freeze their eggs So they never felt the pressure of yeah, that was some people mad at I'm like my goodness I mean, I guess we should know by now. I've been in this business for so long that nothing phases me I mean it's very charming that you don't seem to care I really don't yeah, I don't give a fuck. I have heard everything about me I have heard great things. I've heard terrible things. I've been made fun of I've been loved And this has been my whole life so you think I give a shit if someone cares that I handed my two-year-old and iPad Don't care good for you. Don't care. Was that a late adoption of that feeling? Disposition or did you come to it? Did you used to care? Did I used to care? I think certain things have tweaked me, but over recent years I do not care I guess as a kid were you someone who got self-conscious easy? No, coach for you No, but I also think that was because this wasn't all I did as a kid. I mean, I was a child actor You are ranked tennis player. I loved tennis. I had sports at a million friends I wasn't all about this it was a million other things and I've kind of kept that as an adult So I kind of look a little bit of a duckly kind of just like rolled off back to the ducks look at me Circleed all the way back to the duck. That was a good call. I didn't even meet you. It just naturally happened I just go to the ducks immediately. It was elegant. It was elegant. Yeah, we call that a ding ding ding here. Yeah Duck duck Yeah, that goes. What was it when it doesn't work out? I don't know It's a duck duck is when it is wrong when it's not a ding ding ding ding. That's right. So I've never even heard that We made up all the Okay, I was like And then sometimes if I can be Sometimes Monica would say ding ding ding on something. Okay, but I didn't think really was related, right? So you'll be like she was talking about brushing her teeth and then later I said, you know I bought a washcloth and she go ding ding ding and I go you can see the connective tissue I can see a can see and I go that's more of a duck duck goose So that duck goose became if it's not really related Ding ding ding. It felt like it was yeah, yeah, I get it over these thousand episodes. We got a lot a little thing You know, right? I wish we had been keeping a glossary. That would have been helpful. It's pretty amazing you guys Do you listen to podcasts? My obsession right now is really dark true crime. Okay. Good good Good, good. Sort and scale. Tell me. It is a true crime podcast, but what I love about it is they're all individual There's 400 episodes. So these are the episodes they don't show on date line It's really dark. It's like hardcore porn. It's hardcore addiction There's like a kid's store. I can't do that one or anything with animals I cut a lot of it out, but that's been my obsession lately and then my fiance got me obsessed with near death experiences Oh, I can't get enough my friend Elizabeth is very obsessed with that too I cannot relate me either tell me about what the appeal is I find it interesting the few that I've listened to recently have a lot of Similar patterns. We're talking people all over the world that are talking about these near-death experiences and the way that they're seeing Angels and demons. It's fascinating to me and a lot of their stories They're not the same, but they have so many similarities. Yeah, and I find it Unbelievable and then these people that remember every moment and they talk about the light and they go in and they're like Oh my god in my dead, but I'm not and then they come back and they tell this story I'm just kind of obsessed with it It's interesting. It's interesting because you ultimately have a great fear of death and you want to know that perhaps there's something more We had this great expert. I was talking about why we like true crime Why do we like UFC? Why do we like or documentaries? It's because we get to model out our fears and hopefully learn for true crime women are obsessed with what did they miss? What was the thing that should have triggered? Oh, this was a dangerous person like you hope to gather Defenses against this ever happening to you right so in that vein. Do you think there's something happening with you wanting to know? Or is it just a random curiosity? I think it's a random curiosity I think I was also curious because Tom is so obsessed with it that I wanted to understand his obsession Yeah, yeah, he so intrigued by God and all these different things and what happens when you die? And so he has this real love for learning about that So I think I wanted to be able to talk to him about it. Yeah, so I started listening to and I thought am I going to be into this and now I am I think it's fascinating, but he won't listen to any of the true crime. That's not his job If you ever hit him with Dr. death because I'm not a true crime person, but that one is the Unbelievable that's my favorite I think podcast of all time unbelievable. He probably like that one He did it because that's like a guy's narcissism running wild in the decapitation of a friend on the table That's a one I know I know I know I know I will take the time to pedal a podcast of mine called Beth's dead That is out that's dead. Yes. It's 10 episodes and it is true crime Me It takes a lot of twists and turns Wait a minute. I'm listening to that on the way home. Okay, I think you'll like it I love that takes some big twists and turns. It's kind of medic Okay, oh, okay, okay, no, I love that. I mean that's the age we're in I live so far So I'm always listening to podcasts. Yeah, have you had a near death experience? No, it's not weird that I kind of wish I did I want one no it makes sense I want to see what these people are so what do they see? I'm gonna knock on wood again though. I don't know what the definition is, but I have had the moment Which is among the most unique feelings of ever had in my life where I went oh I'm about to die. I was in the back seat of a car like I had folded the seats down in the back of a Ford probe in like a hatchback And my friend was driving when we were coming back from Toledo back up to Detroit It was like late at night and I had to work super early in the morning So I go hey, I'm gonna sleep in the back. Are you good to drive? Yeah, I'm totally fine He had the cruise control on 85 and I'm like back there I'm listening and then the road was really rhythmic was like the don't the don't just at that moment I was like oh that rhythm is nice I'm gonna fall asleep and then I just heard gravel hitting the side of the car and I immediately Looked up and he was completely slumped over and we'd gone off the road and we're going 85 in the car Started to go sideways. It's just pine trees lining that interstate in Michigan and I started to go to grab the wheel And there's a moment I just knew it's too far gone like we had gone completely sideways I laid back down and then we just launched in the air and we started rolling right down the highway and as this was happening I'm waiting to just hit a tree. I'm like we're gonna hit a tree and that's gonna be that and I definitely had this moment where I was like oh wow, I'm gonna die in a second and The feeling was shockingly comforting that I remember I went from complete fear shit the cars out of control Oh my god, we're gonna roll fuck we're rolling. Oh right. We're gonna roll into a tree I'm gonna die like all that calculus and then I just went like Very calm whatever thing they give you the DMT or whatever the weird chemical is did definitely start getting released I think where I was kind of weirdly at total peace with it And then we just rolled like 10 times ended up upside down. We did not hit a tree Wow, the car was fly we crawled out the windows the whole night was okay. He was okay, and I was okay That is terrifying. That's really interesting a lot of the stories that I hear people have a sense of Com even if something bad is happening a lot of them say these people that came back from having this death experience That the minute that you think they're in pain that's gone if we watch someone God forbid someone dying or an accident or something that if that experience is about to happen not to worry like that It's gone. Yes, I'm on the body calculates. We don't need to deal with that We worry, but they're like we want you to know we don't feel that. They're not like sitting there half a life Have dead feeling this pain. Right. It's gone when they come back. They do Yeah, but that moment of the in between whatever that means all the stories seem to be the same where they're not feeling Whatever is happening to them because we're all obviously so worried about that person or whatever But they said that that's not the case. I don't want to talk to other folks because the trippiest part for me was Host that event for about three days because I already went on dead and I accepted it For the next three days I just be places that I felt very peculiar like am I dead? I know I died That was the weirdest part of the whole thing was this a long time ago. This was 12th grade in high school Oh, you are little okay, you don't forget shit like that. Yeah, no it was highly memorable This may shock you, but I've never been able to fall asleep in a car ever since So I can never let the other person take a turn driving That's all for sure. There's no way I could sleep with someone else driving. That's a wrap-off That makes sense. I mean that's major PTSD I have the gift of sleeping anywhere at any time Oh, that's a good thing. We were working right now and they were like you've got 20 minutes I am not joking. I could lay on this hard table and be out into dream land I can actually do it right here if they were like we need 20 a bit. Okay. I have photos of this on set I think I learned it for being on set. Yeah, I can literally go to sleep to a place of gone to the point where someone has to physically wake me up Why in any position known to me like people are jealous That's a good gift. I'm so jealous. I know it's crazy. So on an airplane you're like Immediately, I'm immediately the car made me think of this the car this couch is a luxury But I would do it on the floor Wow, but a needle anything have you ever fallen asleep driving the car never know anywhere planes any seat nothing is Uncomfortable I can figure it out. I mean the amount of sleeps in a director's share that I can do It's like a gift. This is another thing about your comfort level A lot of people too are like do I look insane sleeping listen? I gotta Work okay. Yeah, my mouth open and it's it's a gap. Yeah, no, I get a little a gap too I'm sure I gotta get it. Nappin. You know these hours are nuts. Yeah, you gotta prioritize your help give a shit Kevin Hart posted something the other day. He's the same. He can sleep I did you see that I've worked in a few times and he used to fall sleep at different spots And I would laugh because I was like oh my god I can do the same thing way he can sleep anywhere too, but I think it's a gift when you work the way you do You have to figure it out, you know, what any post he post him just sleeping a couple different sleepings that people are taking I think he's on set of jaman. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, he's just like He was like at a dinner table at one point No, I said oh my god, I totally understand that and you sleep all at night But you just you're just I have the gift of sleep. I know I love that I'm like very afraid that that's about to change. I just turned 40 and everyone's like you'll never sleep well again I'm like so far I've been fine also okay So the gift of that I'd imagine is you had a newborn in my issue with waking up to do the feedings We would break them up and do every other one. I can't fall back asleep That's Tom. He cannot go back to sleep once he's up. The life is over. Yeah So we were definitely spoiled and had help at night. Yeah, yeah, yeah I spent every dollar on help. We were like if we have any money. That's where if you can Yes, so I don't know what that is like good for you people will say to me when we first had Matilda They would so my god. It's amazing. You look so rested. I'm like I am I'm always there I said I want anyone to think I'm magically looking away I didn't sleep all night like I always told I wanted to wear a sign that was like I slept You're like I just want you to have the truth. Yeah, that's the truth. I know okay now Tom He says hi by the way. Oh, he does he loves you. He loves you from afar. Okay, same the timing of this is incredible Because I watch tasks. Did you watch tasks? Yeah, I think I said I said that's Haley's boyfriend. Oh, I don't remember you saying yes. How good is that amazing? It's so good and Chris and I were watching it together In both of us Simultaneously were like Excuse me. Who's this fucking guy? How could he be this good and in this caliber of a show without me having seen him before And then I learned he was in Ozark and then of course last night I had to read about him and I'm like Oh my god It's even better than I thought because he did the impossible. He started on soaps. Yep prominently 100% and fucking clawed his way up to the peak of cachet on HBO. I know what a gangster no It's really true. He is one of the ones. I'll let him tell you one day He loved his time on the soap. Sure I was like the time of his life. I always talks about it in a beautiful way. I love that He's like I was out of my mind out of control I was a part of your had the time of my life Every woman in America was obsessed with that. It was so fun He's such a chameleon because if you look at his work half the things people don't even know it's hit like he's so you know The body is fucking top not too. I like it with that frame I Love it's ridiculous. I heard you say that you were stalking him on Instagram. Oh, that's how you found him no But I did stalk him on it. Yeah, so I want to know the progression Okay, so we have the same manager very each your Hollywood story I was obviously going through a divorce however many years ago and we do need to talk about that because yeah We were so into Carl you wouldn't remember our inner Remember remember remember how into Carl we were because Carl She was married to Carl at the moment. Yes, and he was in a quest dream. I asked one of them Yeah, he wanted a gold medal this last year. He did something at the Olympic. He's amazing I was not a single bad thing to say about but we were so into Carl that Rob came in one morning He goes you guys girls I know I actually do I remember talking to you about it. Okay, so I was gonna need to worsen my manager Maybe six months later said we decided this new guy you got to meet him So six months and I said I'm not ready no and I shut it down And by the way, I've been with my manager and my entire team so I was 15 years old. Oh, they know our family to me Yeah, so she brings it up to me. I'm like no, I'm not it doesn't feel right yet So she goes noted so cut to April cut to four months later. I'm bringing her as my Plus one to New York to promote flight attendant She goes oh, this is great. I actually have a few different people. I'll see in New York one of them is Tom There was a premiere for Ozark and she was gonna go so she goes we can go to that together So she's saying all this to me and she's not scheming but I remember this is the guy she mentioned before Yeah, now mind you two weeks before I left for that I guess you called a press door but to promote flight attendant season two We hadn't had a premiere for season one because of COVID So season two for flight and it was very exciting. We got to like actually go out and do stuff But I'll never forget I was Lane on the floor of this house that I shared with Carl We were obviously divorced divorce scene and it was the day of the premiere And I was on the floor Sobbing Thinking I ruined my whole life.

I knew it wasn't right for that. I thought that's okay. I love my work I was really okay. You got your animal. I was fine. I think deep down. I wasn't fine But I met Tom. We both wanted it so bad and then we got pregnant easily And we're so excited and I said what are we gonna do you live there? I live here and he said he would move to LA And luckily like I was telling you guys I live so far outside of LA that he was attracted to that area Now tell you the hardest thing is his move out here. He hates LA. Oh, yeah, he's not LA guy Yeah, he's a New Yorker, but you have the funds to split this up a good deal No, we totally do and he's been a man, you know look one of us was gonna have to give up I love New York, but my family's all here his thing. Yeah, that's a tough I've never dealt with that before. Yeah, I know that's been hard He's the most brilliant actor, but he's not a Hollywood guy. I think I'm not a Hollywood girl, but I'm in it Right, whether I am or not. Yeah, you're very not a Hollywood I'm not, but I tell you my last around and it's been my life for so long that I am so used to what this life brings He's the actors actor. He wants to do the acting thing without all the other steps Yeah, it doesn't matter which is what I love about him So because I'm so used to all the stuff that comes with this Nothing phases me and he's always amazed by that he's like I don't understand. I just roll through I don't care and it's not his scene Yeah, well, I would argue that you have worked so much that you had to develop that like I just fucking keep moving roll forward What else am I gonna do? He isn't been doing it for all so long And I don't think there was ever a choice in that. I've always had that attitude There's never been like a minute where I'm like I need to really it just was this now I will say so I've been really curious post Big bang Obviously you have an agenda which I dig which is like you've been really doing action Mystery this thing is a thriller vanishing. Yeah as much as you're like. Yeah, so I'm gonna do the thing Are you like well now I want to do a bunch of stuff. I didn't get to do it feels like there's an agenda It kind of looks like that It's not necessarily We're interested in or landed in front of you this business has gotten so fucking weird and difficult and hard and there's not a lot of great stuff It's harder now. It's harder to make things. There's so much television yet at the same time It's so complicated and now here's a really nosy gross question But what is it like to go from making an insane amount of money Back down to making like a good amount of money. Is it an adjustment? I don't think about that I should think about it more, but I don't I live the same as I did 20 years ago now it's different to with a Child like there's different elements now, but I like the way that I live. I don't want to change That way that I live. Yeah, it's the same way though where I'm in Tom and I've talked about this a lot because I'm so I was gonna say brave That's not the reward. I don't remember that I am anyone so I do things that would I am I am so oblivious and yet I've listened so much to crime. I'm also very aware sure So like I'm going to be behind me that I know But you just forget your famous so I do things that he will be like what are you doing? Yeah, like people know you We take Matilda a lot to Chuck E. Cheese and Tom always goes you don't have to come tonight to go No, no, of course I want to come and I'll be like why you don't want me to come? He's like no every time you come He's like do you understand what happens at Chuck E. Cheese and I laugh and I go I swear to God and I really mean this I don't even think about it And you don't remember the last step to Chuck E. Cheese Yeah, I just remember having so much fun at Chuck E. Cheese Matilda are people coming up to you or everyone just Okay, you know, I'm getting a little weird. Yeah, they're definitely filming you Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wish I could let that go. I know I don't care There's a fuck up Tom. I get this weird protective. Hey, y'all my kids are around. Don't fucking point a camera Like that kind of irks me. Yes me. I'm fine. You could film me taking a shit if you find me at the airport But if I'm with my kids he's protective for sure and again, he doesn't like that side of it. Yeah, it's a gross It is gross and I just don't notice it. He doesn't like award show. He's like what are we doing and I'm there I'm like oh my god. I get to wear like the cutest dress and you're seeing friends you've known over the years Yeah, I get it. I'm looking at it through his eyes. I'm like no, this is really fucked up We're going to like these weird popularity contests. Yes, not even really how good you are Telling I could really have a coffee. You would go to town. We were podcasts. I know Podcast was a thing. It was cool. I did it. I just felt so small. I mean of course, right? That made me like No, I get what you're saying. We all feel small at those things. I was just talking to oh Kurtwood I went out to eat with Kurtwood Smith my favorite actor. He worked with Kurtwood He's the dad on 70 show and he was in the Patriot. Oh, but he's amazing. He's amazing And I did a thing with him years ago, but I just fell in love with him and we had lunch either I was so sweet and I was saying you know, it's so funny. You're like, oh yeah I got invited to the big party but then the second you get there you're like it's physically Stratta. It's like okay, so movie people are down here close to the stage and then the TV people are in this ring And then they dump the podcasters like in a corner of that far Come and then you just feel like maybe there's also part of me that's like I'm not gonna let that feeling be the reason I don't go Right because there's so many people we're taking blinding photos of someone in front of you and then And then you just walk right on it's terrible and they do not care and even just between me and him They don't want to do an interview with me solo But if we go together, there's so many things and It is not lost on me that to get invited there is a big honor. Yes It's a huge honor. It is. This is why people sound ungrateful right because they're gonna hear and be like Like she's at the golden Forgo you weren't as popular as we know the capriots Sounds crazy. You know how you don't care about shit. Yeah, I go like yeah, guess what you caught me I'm sensitive. Guess what? I'm guilty of being sensitive my goal. I guess in life is to not have the feelings of being small Of course just not going is not gonna fix that That's very true and I admire that you're right. You shouldn't let an insecurity prevent you from being at the places you do want to be Yeah, Tom with love you You would get so deep with you on this shit. We'll bring our kids to this fucking farm and let them get attacked by a zonky Yeah It's friendly. Okay, so interesting so you have a healthy thing about the money when I think about returning Yeah, I get really afraid of like am I gonna go like oh wait? I like to my savings increasing not been finishing. Yeah, that scares me Well also that big bang time, I guess one appropriate title. I know The big bank time I never said that before I know that came out the big bank That was a really Once in it like I can't even think to be like oh, I wish I had that again that never crosses my mind I had the same thing. It's like when this is over this will never happen again Yeah, this is a moment in time and I feel that way about big bang. That was like its own life I will never go back to that. I talk about it with so much love, but life is different now. Yeah It just doesn't look that way. We'll never look that way again. Yeah, just the way else the business is gone And there's just no way. How is O'Norman going? It's going great. It is. Do you enjoy that you launched a pet food? I did with really cute names chill the fuck out or chilly up a lot of f Yeah, yeah, like calm the f-down stop f-y nitching W what the fuck treats WTF treats full tasty fresh. They're really cute The packaging is amazing and it's all super healthy ingredients all naturally made sustainable It's been an awesome adventure. We're two years old I'm fully involved like every name every product everything I am obsessed because also for years Obviously because of my animal obsession people have come to me to do something like this I've always said no. Yes, so this was now the moment to do it And so now that I'm doing it. I want people to know that I mean it. It's so authentic to me It's like if someone was an influencer and they're doing makeup it makes sense for them like this makes sense for me Yes, so I want them to know that everything I'm telling you I'm doing I'm using I'm this and that and I want it to feel Very girl next door, so we've kind of created it in a way where in half the videos I'm doing on my foot like it's all just Everyday stuff, right? You have such a charm She also pitched herself to be the host of the NFL honors ceremony Let me tell you something. This is so funny. You're bringing this up. I am pissed last year I thought I was getting that gig Well, okay, that was amazing by the way you can stomach that this year John ham now is hosting get a check up there Waiting my turn. I know all about football I know a lot and I love it So I feel like I'm such a good candidate for this Yes, but now I feel like I'm getting lower on the list and it's just funny you say this because literally two days ago in our house I was like John Ham to see Yeah Would have checked up there Because you've been trying you've been putting yourself out putting the effort I learned it. I feel I've earned it. I can be funny. I am not mean. I am fun. I understand the game Have you ever hosted anything? Yes, what have you hosted early in my big bang days? I hosted people's choice twice I have choice awards Once or twice I don't like this for you. I don't like what's happened. I appreciate that. Yeah, it's changing me Yeah, I mean that I'm not able to be this host of this NFL honors. It drives me crazy Then they're like well, we'd love you to come present. I'm like no. I don't even know what the honors is What is that is that there are Academy Awards? Yes It's basically after the whole year. I mean you got your doing MVP. You're handing out all the MVP gets it okay for a football lover. It's awesome. Yes, sports lover. Yeah, great So it's just funny you say that because this has been hot on my mind. She starts a video in a jersey Thank you. You remember that yes, you had a great premise which is I know a lot about football about I have zero loyalty Whoever's winning it started with like so-and-so was in first. I loved them Then the line is shit the bed I'm all about God. I'm a Rams fan from LA then the lions crushed them now. I'm a lion And I'm now oh Kelsey. I'll go right to Like I just went through the whole thing. I like audition. What if they ask you next year? What are you gonna? Yes, oh, I'm not listen. I will wait You're not any no there was a job recently I won't say the name of it because I feel like it's gonna come out and it's gonna be like oh my god That was the one this just shows you this business. It doesn't matter who you are what you've done I wanted this job so bad and they kept say oh, you know, we're gonna go so and so we're gonna and okay Well if we don't go and so and so these people kept turning it down these different actors this At this point I was fifth in line and I remember my team was like that this point like fuck them. I'm like yeah No, no, no, no, no, I still want this and by the way, I did not get this job and I left My god, I couldn't believe the team was like if they actually say yes to you now We're saying no to them because this is getting offensive and like I don't care. I want the job for you You're so healthy and now I'm like We've I didn't get it I didn't get it. It'll come out by next time I see you will talk about it I know I'm curious. I know but it just shows you like it doesn't matter. Yeah, they didn't want me I wasn't right for it by the way. I know I'm good. Yeah, so if they didn't see me for that It's okay. It doesn't mean all of a sudden. I'm not good No, yeah I don't feel that way. I'm like that's not the look they're going for it's obvious. It's not so okay That's fine, but like it doesn't mean I go home like oh, I guess they didn't want me they know I'm good I'm gonna play a historical black woman Beard you would hire me to say I know you really try No, we don't need to see the audition tape You just can't get everything. I don't know well then I guess learning about how chill you are about all of it The one question I didn't ask you last time that I was curious about is when I look at your resume the thing that feels like it could have been a very Dicy situation Was walking into charmed season eight Girl was it a dicey? Um It's funny. You know when you do so many things and you just forget about terrible moments come part metal I have to say though. I was 21 because I remember I turned 21 on that and if I knew what I knew now I don't think I would have ever let this happen. I started out that job in their gallery shoot. Imagine this I've never met anyone. It's their gallery shoot. Okay for those in a gallery shoot You're starting season eight. You're gonna go do new photos with the cast. It's an all-day thing Everyone's together and you're all wearing black and then you're all wearing red You know, so I'm the new girl you got a listen Lano rose McGowan and Holly Mariecombs. I've never met them Yeah think about that. I'm joining their family photo You know, I'm 21. I'm the hottest I've ever been I'm thinking I'm like the coolest thing ever but also terrified I'm gonna tell you the loveliest story about a listen Lano I walk in that gallery and I am so freaking nervous It's on their lunch break. They're all in the corner's eating. I walk in oh Lismalano sees me and I will always tell this story about her She got up ran over to me. Welcome to the show. Give me the biggest hug in the world We're so happy. You're so kind. I will never forget that in fact ever since then I was like this before that moment, but I make sure I do that too any because that was the nicest thing She could have ever done to me. It just made me feel oh my god. Shew chug so glad your hair rose Maybe not as happy sure I don't know I don't know I was terrified oh So weird thing coming into a show with a very long yeah, I was your eight I only did the one season I think about that with big bang because obviously I started big bang after that We were on that show for 12 years you know each other so uh 12 years So anyone that came in I was very aware of like this must be so weird for you So I always remembered that from a list uh to this day and I was like that before that But still you got to go the extra mile in a situation like this Well, because it's weird. It's walking into someone's family dinner. It's so weird. Yes. Everyone's close. That's tough Well, I didn't the hotness is not great. I was super hot. Yeah, I can just 20 years ago I know She's also a horse lover she might have smelt out animals While whether she was amazing how many dogs do you have in your house? We have four. Okay. That's totally reasonable No, that's a low number for us. I thought it was gonna be much scary We're usually at the six mark. I love rescuing seniors so they don't last as long and how's the barking in the house insane horrible. Okay, you want to get anything done in our house? Don't even help me understand how you guys are fine with that Because I live with a tremendous amount of barking. I have nothing to say to you. It's terrible. Yeah, it's all the time They feel beef. Yeah, there's a squirrel. There's a visitor the door bird rings at this point I think I do want to black out our front door because I think anything now maybe put eye patches over them for at least a couple hours of the day So we can fucking Listen, there's annoying. There's no way to tell you it's time for you all about it. Yeah, he's like I Can't do a zoo. I go. I know don't even try to get work done in this house Yeah, so if you want to have a phone call if you want to do anything You want to think you want to take a nap You got to get the kid out of the house to get dogs. It's totally insane. Here's another thing. I'm while I'm airing my grievances Yeah We got one dog that'll just eat anything that's in the trash tampon. We've had that my poor sister had a Pulled tampon on one of their butts mid-dump we call that garbage gut and we have a dog like that So I have to have a rack in my bathroom for my fucking trash can Because the dog will just make a shit style of everything he goes through everything I have to pull my trash can out of this little fucking cart. I have and I'm like this is madness It's a lifestyle Everything you're saying has happened to us. It's sweet that they're seniors though. That's nice Sooners and we decided to adopt a cane corsote. Do you know this breed? No, we have a cane corsote. She's They're big right. Yes. Yes. Yes. She's too. She's awful. Uh-huh. We love her I mean, Tom was like we got to have a big job I understand I like both We rescued a puppy cane corsote and she's eating our house And when I say that so walls Yeah, oh my god of walls just ruining your home the yard we have no yard anymore I know what you're gonna do not have them. That's what a lot of people do have to have them I have to have them The sickness it's a problem it would make the most sense that you guys lived in a tent in the backyard And just give them the house. Oh, oh, we live in there. How I love people come to our house and they go oh should we take our shoes off of them? Leave your shoes on Your own house. This is not our home like we live in a dog park. Please wear your shoes in our house I will acknowledge the only upside is there's no way your house is ever getting robbed right someone comes up That's true. Oh, that's true. Oh, that's true. Half an e of fucking chaos with our corsote is the scariest thing ever Did the dog sleep with you? This is the big picture. We've had all kinds of waves. Of course I did have to create a little boundary I mean at least one area of this house that is dog free and so that became our bedroom But that a quickly eroded so basically now one of the dogs is allowed to be on the bed the other one's not Okay, which is insanely mean, but I don't give a fuck yeah The ones is looking at the one. I'm like yeah, I'm sorry your piece of shit. This one's slightly less piece of shit Yeah, 100% like is there one room we can dedicate is that on the table even if you guys agree to it that quickly goes out the window It's like oh, he's so long like I'm like this motherfucker supposed to be living in the woods. No, I know The bed thing with the dogs and Tom loves dogs, but the problem is because we have two that are so old They do that thing where they're up. Well, you know, it's the romaine The dementia It's a little wire. We're barking at 3 a.m. Oh He was like I can't do this And I'm like I understand So he started sleeping in the guest room. Yeah, that's what happens. Yeah, by the way Game chain. Yeah, I feel like people need to embrace that one. Yeah, yeah, Thomas and I now Goes to bed very late I go to bed earlier because I'm the one who gets up until the morning and then we have help during the day I'm up with her in the morning if he's not working he will tell you he is a night owl. He writes at 90 reads It's his quiet time So he's up late and wakes up late on a non-working day We establish this from day one. I go to bed early and wake up early We're totally on different sleep being scheduled. Yes, I get up with him till the I'm tip towing around the bedroom Until the dad you know, I'm like why are we Yeah, he's like I can't sleep then he wakes up he can't go back to sleep. Yeah, he's mad. It's terrible The dogs are like now it's 5 a.m. It's time to go out like it's He's like, how do you feel if I sleep in that other room? We do couples therapy and we love it. Yeah, it's amazing. Yes, so he brings this up and at first I'm like What will people think yeah, and he's like I never see you at night. Yeah, I don't see him. It's not our sexy time We don't cuddle. Yeah, we don't see each other at night He goes, why do you care? And I sat there and I went God, I don't and he goes, let's try it game changer He's happy You're happy 100% nothing happens, but sleep in those beds. He didn't move into the bathroom But he sleeps down there. He sleeps great. No dogs in his way. I'm up with Matilda at 7 a.m She comes in bed with me. I can turn things on. I don't have to worry about waking him up. It just works for us Yeah, we don't go walking to the bedroom hold his hand and hand to watch a TV show to get back right You were never doing that. Never doing that. If you kind of explain it, but he's like what are you losing by this? Because I thought this is not good appearance is all your lose. I really thought that and my brain didn't realize it was that But I thought this doesn't look good and he's like do you see me at night? Yeah I don't like I don't because I'm always asleep when he comes to bed But I had to realize that because it hit me in a way that I thought it didn't look good best decision We ever made it's hysterical and he sleeps better. There's no dogs in his bed I can handle the dogs and batter to me so beautiful We had this realization, but I didn't know why I thought it was so Look down upon yeah, there are so many items and what you were saying about kids There's so many ideas of what is a good marriage or what is a good partnership? And it's all so stupid it's our to try. I think we just saw it on TV right? Hey, so you're like well, that's not what I saw on TV 100% be when I grew up when there was a step down around We didn't have the extra room for that of to even been an option So I don't know if they would have preferred that it was never model exactly It was never modeled and it was never talked about this kind of a new thing people are talking a lot about this now Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Yeah, definitely was like knowing about that sleep now is getting so much more Conversation, yeah, everyone's like you need it. You have to get it. Yes. I take like 30 years of your life if you don't get this But it's like oh my god. No, we're such happier people now after decided It's so funny because as I've been preaching this is why I'm being like I don't care I don't care. I don't care people say about my parent team and then I got so worried about what this look like Yeah, and I realized who cares it works Wait for us. Yeah, yeah, so much happier. You're gonna suffer to make other people have me Maybe like what did it look like? It was just funny because we had to talk about it in our session because he really was so funny He's like what are you losing by this happening? I was like literally nothing. Yeah, right And it's just all big win. We love our TV time together, but we've never do that in bed Yeah, rolling over and fucking in the middle of that. You're not We are not those people. No, I need to sleep Yeah, wait and we just Do you think maybe though that has to do with some trauma around divorce me? Yeah, the sleeping They're just like oh no if we're not sleeping together like his next step this yes Or what does it look like because everyone knows I've had these divorces I think all that went to my brain really quickly. Yeah, and then I realized I'm actually Doing something really good help my relationship. Yes. Okay. Let's talk about vanished. How did vanish come your way? There were a lot of boxes that were checked for me with this although I was terrified to go across the Country away from my daughter was only at two at the time. So I was like am I doing this in the show I watched the pilot last night You're in Paris you're in yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole show is about this trip that happens in France when they said We're gonna shoot there. I was like oh my god like how am I gonna do this and I had just spent basically six months prior to that in Philadelphia with Tom while he was shooting task right I went there and he did that and I was like Mrs. Mom and it was amazing and then when this came up I was like six months filled out. Fee feels different than going two months in France. How do we do this? Am I going alone? Are you coming with me? Am I making my kid go? I don't want to make her go But do I leave her yeah, it definitely messed with me there were so many years where I would have fellow mom friends Who kind of would be tormented over these decisions and I have to admit I would kind of be like fucking fine Liever who can't like right okay I regret ever saying that because it did mess with me how I'm gonna do that So I fully take that back So it was kind of a big decision to go but the script was so fun and two months isn't eternal and Tom was Encouraging me to go do this. He's like we'll take care of everything here And he was so great about it if there was even two percent less of what he gave I don't think I would have gone. It's a lot. He was kind of Mr. Mom We have tons of help but he did a lot while I was gone those few months and he had the time of his life with her She was having so much fun. Yeah, it's really special. Yeah, it was sweet and she could care less that I was gone He met him as I would call and she was doing something She can't make it to the phone literally like in a class on a play date It wasn't like she was like where's mommy, which is what you want you don't want her asking where I am and it was great I went in this adventure and was like so fun and there's only four episodes like so quick and I don't know It was kind of a fun blip in time. It's an awesome thriller. It's fun Stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare So we meet you and you are an archaeologist.

He's doing too many good things Mr. Helps it's a tree or do you have to wait week to week Binge okay. Thank God. I think you know what we don't know actually don't know the okay So what is in the end of the M plus before is that not part of the brain? Nothing's part of anything. Okay This is all 97 different things. This is where we're at. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they've been amazing and they are part of prime So eventually this will be on prime. It's gonna start in gym plus the amount of television now It's incredible, but it's so widespread. It is. What do you see? What do you watch? It's fragmented and you would also think that would mean so many jobs I know that's why it's not I agree. It's like you're not making anything. We're not working. I know it blows my mind I think there's a lot of Reality well, there's a lot of dogs the strike in the new contract Really fuck things up. That's a fact. It started with Covid I think ruined everything and then it never survived and then that pushed over the edge This is four episodes chris and show I think it's 10 yeah shows are eight. Yeah, it's not like 24 So you're gonna get paychecks for 24 who's doing 24 now pit is that who still is there full season? No, I think it's 14 or 15 it feels like a Lick because we're not used to that anymore, but it's not like 20 or anything I feel like they're one of the ones that do more than no I thought it was 20 14 15. Oh, it's 15. Okay I made that up. I was thinking of a day Because I was one day, but I think it's a shit I know so much detailed and so intense that I'm like how do you do that? It's so good. I think it's fantastic. I have never been happier for an actor in my life. I know The Noah Renaissance is making me so happy the Noah's Sons yeah, you know when you see someone really deserve it. Yeah That is just a good feel and the nicest guy has he been on this show? Yeah, but I actually went up to him at The Emmys last year because I was a plus one I just wanted to introduce myself to him and tell him how much Monica loves him He said oh event on your hayride.

I love seeing people that have been doing this a long time And they have like this another moment. It's cool also the lift of that show like when I'm watching it I'm panic because of the stakes. Yes, but then I'm panicked as an actor. Oh my god I'm like how in the fuck do you memorize all that medical jar and and let it rip like it's your second language Like you really know I don't know how to chant you couldn't I mean I mean I mean I mean I'm doing an embedical show I don't want to be a lawyer.

We'll do this again. Thank you. I'm bringing Tom next time. Oh please. Thank you guys Stay tuned for the five checks so you can hear all the facts that were wrong Okay, let's address the elephant in the room. Oh god. What is the elephant in the room? It looks like I have lip filler Okay, I didn't think that I know I was just talking to you for a good 40. I didn't think it No, not once even when I first walked in because it does look like it's gone down a little bit No Okay, well when I woke up I was like oh no my top lip really looks like I have filler in there But it's because I have a very a small but significant under the skin Himple right above my lip So it's like swollen Okay, you at least have a good explanation. Yeah, that's that's but it looked wide I don't think anyone I already have prominent lips. So it looked really weird I'm not even able to prompt well Yeah, if it looks very surgical right we have a guest coming up and the two of you two of you are just embarrassing the world with the lips Oh, I didn't notice hers Are you doing it now? Maybe we talked about it Indian blindness. I think yeah Yeah, I think internalized racism Couldn't even see it. I do think some Indians have bigger lips. I think that's probably genetic and hereditary Yeah, but my mom doesn't really have big lips I don't think your grandma's got a beautiful set of kissers on her look at her over there. Oh, I guess Puckered up She's begging for a smooch right there. Oh, I guess you're right. Yeah My mom probably does then have the same and I guess I do It's been it's been too long since I stared at her She's just gorgeous. Yeah, wonder she shaved the side of her hair This guest that's coming up. Oh, yeah, I will say one thing too like none of her bio or anything could I Did it mention anything about ethnicity? Mm-hmm, but then I was going through her Instagram. There was a photo of this Guest yeah, her and her husband and he's a Caucasoid sure, but he was in him who's dressed up. Yeah, I want to say him Not in bold and not in boss. No, no I don't know something that means like you divide. Oh, nice. Yeah, he was he was like Regal yeah, yeah, a resplendent. Oh, that's what I wanted to say. He was resplendent in Pakistani traditional Wedding gear. Oh nice. I think my dad wore a suit Yeah, I'm picturing the picture their wedding picture and I'm pretty sure he's in a suit although he's starting an Easter egg A medication ish Of vitamin yeah, probiotic we had a guest on and and they have a product. That's not normal for us But they had a product that we all wanted so we all got it and I sent it to my dad and he's given it a whirl How many days into it is he I think only a couple days. Okay, I'm gonna check it I'm gonna try it if you ever bring it over It's in the hostage. I guess maybe when you move into your house Exactly, I hope that makes the move is all I know it's refrigerated Which means it will or won't make them I could see you just leaving like don't even open the fridge You just walk out the door. Do you want to keep it as an office? That's gonna dumb thoughts. I have no I already I've it's for years I've been like what am I gonna do am I gonna keep it? Am I gonna? Yeah, use it as an office when I like Have an office like it's a crazy also that apartment is is notoriously where I don't like to do work Where I always leave to go work Yeah, so that would be very silly for me to keep it as a place to do work But I often make silly decisions. Yeah, there's some kind of loss bias because as you know I had this apartment in Santa Monica It was $600 a month. Yeah, I mean anything even when I left and they're allowed to raise it 5% a year or whatever I think it was up you know 675 maybe we were yeah, and then when I left pre-stayed there for a year And she she even called me she's like you know, I'm gonna be moving out. Do you I know you and thoughts about you and I'm like Yeah, should I keep it? It's close to the beach. I mean all these dumb things you never did just because I can't stand the thought of I know at that point that apartment was probably 1800 a month Yeah, I know you I feel like I'm giving up $1200 I know which is it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but that's what it feels like that's boy math as opposed to girl Matt. Yes, but I get it I have the same thing. I'm like that apartment's gonna skyrocket as soon as I leave and you're losing that money somehow that's money out of My pocket which makes no sense because currently I'm paying rent and a mortgage So all I'm doing is not paying rent anymore. Which I need to be doing yeah Um Anyway, but it's all the real windfall of money is to not be paying the rent Exactly not getting the rent. I know why do our brains our brains do this? Well, we learned about it. We used to rag We learned about I'm gonna jump on this year An attachment Is it actually not about this but it I somehow connected and the word works it works When it works you work it yeah, work at your worship. That's what we say at the end of our prayer You know it works you work it. It's funny. It's funny that we had that guest on about attachment because um I was thinking the other day about me being little and I was so shy and so attached to my parents Yeah, it's hard to imagine it's very hard to imagine and I and I was thinking like Oh, that's so sad for them. I'm with a parent. Yes, like they probably were annoyed by it So they probably caused us. I don't feel bad anymore but like I was like so like I had to be with them and near them at all times and now like It just want me to call this is the heartbreak of parents. I that sounds like I don't understand how parents do that That sounds That's too much. Yeah, it's um that's so hard for you in our way Yeah, it's just heartbreaking. Oh Which brings me to my ding ding ding yes So I have brought Lincoln to Disneyland for her birthday Yeah, I think for four years straight or something. Yeah, maybe five delta rightly so is like what's all this bullshit? She gets to go every year. Yep, and then I try to say well you get a roller skating party She's like that's your party. Yeah, you rightly That's your party. Yeah, I didn't have a rebuttal for that at any rate I'm like yeah, she hasn't been to Disneyland and forever. We live so close You can go and then she is different than Lincoln because when we go it's me Charlie Aeson Lincoln always So I'm very dialed in you know, we're in her act because she's more like probably you when you were a kid Right, she's like pretty glued to me in a great way Lincoln. Yeah And then so I asked Delta and she's like okay I want to tell you know she starts listening virtually her whole class and I'm like okay We got to pair this down. Yeah, so we got down to four girls There's four girls. Yeah, and one of the girls got dropped off and I said Have you met Ryan Hanson and she's like No, of course, like I just picture an adult as a me. I was a little kid by no another adult. Yeah, of course I don't know right anyways I'm like well, listen you think Disney Land is gonna be the highlight of this trip and oh my friend you are wrong It is gonna be right in Hanson. He's the world's funnest dad. He really is. I'm so glad I had him God, is he a good time? He was a party pumper if people don't remember people don't know as an occupation and high school That's right professional party pumper and he is not He has not given up this job. No, he's still on it. So We left it three and heavy heavy traffic The rat Ryan had a playlist oh nice and We went down there and we checked into the hotel and as we were checking in the girls are like they're running Way ahead of us in the hallway And we're talking about like is so far. Hallways are so fun when you're a kid. No Hotel hallway, like you feel like you're running so fast because there's the doors are next to you So they're like whipping by you think you're going 60 miles an hour and it's really soft because it's carpet So it's like irresistible. So they're like they're they're they're flying down the thing and I said to Ryan I said while this isn't one of those trips. You know, you know, you never Four girls cannot go to Vegas together four girls go to Vegas together two of them are gonna be on the bottom of the elevator crying drunk at one point going Maggie's that's a bitch She never Like I tell you how many times the elevator doors have opened a thing is that I'm watching one girl in the ground crying Why the three girls are like I'm gonna blame that more on the alcohol and the There isn't interesting dynamic. Yeah, yeah, for sure Yeah, like go four guys go to Vegas the the just never had no one ever ends up no one ever ends up on the bottom of the elevator Like someone might be over someone's shoulder because they Blacked out cast out, but there's not really that or they're in jail No one's emotions ever get triggered on the their their sad emotions anger emotions. I think get triggered Yeah, that's fair. I just know I can get real mess when you get for I've been I mean I've done that it's yeah Yeah Stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare It's just so funny. Yeah, it's also sleepover girl sleepover Always someone that needs has to call their mom to go home because they're upset and there's like a click Like some others that click and then everyone like oh, yeah brutal also the room had It was two rooms a joining With a little living room in the middle uh-huh, and so one of the rooms had Two queen size beds or two dope whatever that size is that you get in a room with two beds And then the other room had a king size bed. Okay, and before we left and all talking about it was great Ryan will sleep with his daughter. I'll sleep with my daughter Do the two girls will sleep in a king size bed. Oh Bob your uncle great. Okay, so Five minutes into being in the hotel room That's not gonna be the plan. They all want to sleep together in the same room and I'm like yeah That does make sense. Yeah, but then you know Then it's you and Ryan have to be yes, so Ryan's like oh yeah, I'll sleep on the couch You know, I just feel the couch. I sleep in bed with Aaron. Well, we can sleep in the king size bed. Oh, but why didn't you guys just each take a queen and the girls take the king? Foreign the king there's only one king right you can put four girls in one They wanted to all be in the same bed in the same room. Oh, so they've come and dear the room with two beds I thought Ryan and I were gonna be got it But no now the now the dads are sleeping together And Ryan and I both Are gassy like I'm already thinking oh no yeah like and Ryan would admit this yeah I'm in my family. I'm the gassy. So there's not all on that and I often I have a thing called out in a way And you know about out in a way Anything we're together and I got a two dad goes outside the house and I pull my pants down and I fart And then I pull my and that's out in a way and then I pull them back up that way None of the two is in my clothes when I walk back inside. I could not be more courteous about this The paparazzi is gonna catch you doing this one day Well, I'd be proud to stand by out in a way. It's a great policy for your dad Use out no, you just step out the front door All right, you can even spread your cheeks if you want to make sure everything. Oh, no What a poop comes out. How isn't the month isn't the most important part? It's the away out in a way So I'm thinking fuck me and we do have a little balcony as you already can tell It's a very privileged trip. We have a great room. We've got a balcony and we've shared living. So yeah Um, and I'm like so I know and Ryan would be the first to admit this he farts twice as much as I do He's a big big farter. Yeah And what I applaud about it. Oh, that's even cute. Someone tuted it on the right up Oh a kid and someone's like who farted? Oh And the dead quiet and I go gang it doesn't matter who farted But you definitely someone shit their pants But it doesn't matter who and then doubt is like I think it's a smell from outside and I rolled them in no doubt and I go No, it's definitely not that And then but I'm saying no one has to take responsibility like I go we don't need to shame anyone We all too and Ryan's like you know, I did minute and I'm like I do know that about Ryan He's so good about that. He as much as he does far to also takes responsibility every time Okay, if I'm a girl in that car. Yeah, I'm so like I Right now No delta is perfect. She did the exact right thing that you're supposed to do you supposed to be like it wasn't anyone in here It was outside smell. We don't need to trade on lies We can run it this head on and we can just go we don't need to single anyone out and embarrass anyone It's embarrassing when you two that was my point. Oh my god. I'm proud of her Right, it's me now you don't sell me a fake reality if I'm the person who didn't fart. I'd be like Well shit, it doesn't it's not for my own side. No, Dax everyone can just be like yeah, it's out Yeah, it's really smelly out there and in here too now. Yeah, that's what you do for your friends It was the dog there's no dog in the car Honey who I am thinking there's gonna be an interesting evening with Ryan and I sharing the scene But Aaron toots a lot right he does but as you know, I don't care about his I have passed that So you're not there yet with Ryan? No, I cuz I didn't like grow up sharing a room with Ryan His his fart still smell like fart Okay, Aaron is I just like oh Aaron's around that's comforting one time we were all together and Aaron farted and I you were mad I was mad about it. Yeah, was it in the RV? Yeah, it was the same week any kept everyone up from Yeah, it was a real one-two punch and I remember being like I've never I've never smelled this smell before absolutely. Um, we were just talking about it with the kids They're saying my farts are bad and I said they are I said, but you know Aaron's are significantly worse. His are or that one time. I only smell he I've only experienced it once But yeah, you weren't like even paying any attention. No, this was an ongoing joke when we all work together me and all my friends worked for my mom because we were constantly in cars sitting at airports waiting for journalists to come right So we were in cars so much together. Yeah, and Aaron went far and our thing with Aaron was that a doctor would be able to smell this fart and go like oh Yeah, you have cancer like we were like Some medically is going wrong with you and a good doctor would be able to tell what's And then we always had this joke too that Aaron needed a frame off restoration Like the car so trash you gotta pull it all apart. Yeah, like a page one right. Yeah, so our thing was that the doctor would smell as far and say I'm so sorry, but you need a frame off restoration Down to the frame and strip the rust off. Yeah, I'm sorry So we're gonna sleep together, okay, yeah, and then Sure enough someone comes in what are you guys wearing? Um We were nude no, but were you wearing like boxers both I wear I have pajama pants in a in a wife And what did you sleep in I think boxers in a t shirt? Oh my god. Did you get butterflies? No No, we're things were happening. I'll tell you where things did happen Um, but of course someone comes in again. We're not gonna name names. It doesn't matter who farted But we are told that the sleeping arrangements not gonna work out This is two people don't want to sleep with each other and I'm like Well figured out I don't know what you guys think's gonna happen up. We're not sleeping on the ground. So You know, yeah, but someone's out and I go yeah, that's y'all's problem like there are two beds It is Vegas You can definitely sleep in this bed together. Yeah So I think someone ended up getting couch cushions and sleep. Yes. Yes. Yes, he's amazing girls They didn't because why I don't know who knows who knows what goes on with you guys I feel bad for the person who the other person didn't want to sleep with oh Jesus. Yeah, I just knew I know the limits of my skill set and there's no way I was gonna be able to figure that out for those four Do you think this all started with the fart? It was like I know she fart and I'm not sleeping in a bed with her Could have been I don't know Reboot you so you farted in a closed Loop system. That's why you always say it's outside smell God, okay, so then that's bad But I don't want to put too big of a point. It's not it wasn't a big Everything worked out fine. They all slept in that bedroom. Okay, and it was so it all worked out But I was like here we go. Yeah, we go out at night into downtown Disney Wonderful dinner. Yeah, it was so fun. We're sitting like in the little courtyard great people watching are they getting along? The girl oh, yeah, we'll get along. Everyone's having a great time walked around Just had a blast watch these little girls skip and run all around so much fun Yeah, I was I was so happy for and then um we went to bed and I'm gonna tell you for whatever reason I didn't have much I didn't have to out in a way much Which was a blessing okay What's that like one or two times or I outed in a way to once in the bathroom. Okay. Yeah But in an evening here at home. I'm out in a way six times you are sure I'm also gonna phase as you know I've picked up my fiber intake a lot and then is radically affected how much out in a ways we do Okay, you used to have a fart pillow for people who don't remember at the old house when I was a bachelor There's a leather couch you can't get away with anything on a leather couch. That was the problem Tactical blunder and it's so weird because dudes like leather couches more than anyone I know guys are okay me a leather couch Let me make fun of guys for a while. Okay. Oh, those leather's tough. I'm gonna get a cool leather. It's like a leather jacket, but it's a couch That is Yeah, it is on your farts ricochet off of all Gross okay, anyway, so you only had one out in a way in the bathroom and then what happened with Ryan? Well then we got in bed and we started watching TV together and We were casting but it wasn't working all that hot so then we were we were relegated back to cable TV Which great. It's fun in hotel room. I don't and flick through channels. It is fun. I agree How we gave a couple things a shot we bailed early that was good and then we got to 230 for 30s. Oh Love 30 for 30 me too and we turn on one. There's one about basketball and there's one about a football player I'm like well, I think Ryan likes football more and basketball. I so I let's watch the football one Turn that on and right away that player. He's like he's like Christian And I go oh yeah, he's a Christian he goes yeah my every time the guy played my dad was like he's a Christian And I said with your dad call out Christians and he's like yo, yeah I'd like anyone he knew and I was like that's great. Yeah Well then lo and behold that every single interview was in a church. Oh wow Turns out this guy was a pastor this NFL football player Then turns out this entire 30 for 30 is about him being a pastor. Oh And I was like this is hold on I come for sports like if someone's religious that's not worthy I don't need to see how religious Sometimes as a documentary I need to see like the impossible sport accolade. That's why I watch it. Well to be fair There is a 30 for 30 on OJ and it is a little sports, but it's a lot of murder You can give me murder in place of sports achievement. Okay, but you can give me someone's like devotion to a book Okay, that's fair and it's not again. We're talking about uniqueness In this country right now there's 200 million practicing Christians. So clearly Being a Christian isn't worthy. It doesn't so much for anything. Yeah sure NFL you're already one in whatever you are one in 10,000 Then if you're a legendary player you're one in you know the numbers If you're a murderer very few murder. Very good. Thank God knock on wood. All to say I said I see what you're doing Ryan God's intervening right now and Somehow he made a 30 for 30 that's singularly above Christian We're having fun with that because Ryan's a very developed Christian And I'm not he's not trying to be a man. All he doesn't know he's never tried to Convinced me I should be one now, but then my joke becomes that he has orchestrated this whole thing of course all to say I didn't Experience any issues okay Uh, old factory wise. Okay, but he did tell me when we woke up that he had woke himself up with a fart that was so loud Scary and I was like oh man, and I was just out cold. I guess breathing it Because he it woke him up Monica. I can imagine like the top sheet like billowed up like I was just like oh man. I was fucking hoffin away When I was this is why I don't this why I'm afraid to fall asleep some so vulnerable. Oh my god You're the one that said eating farts you recently said eating farts makes you healthier smelling your own farts of scientists I didn't say that a scientist said that So you just got some extra hell. I don't know if you're eating his is So there was no issue other than that you didn't smell it as you know I can barely sleep under completely ideal circle right I yeah, so like foreign room kept woken up the next two of man Well, I don't have next to a man. Oh, it's my friend Ryan. Oh on this vacation. Okay. He's cool Yeah, I don't I don't like sleeping in the in a bed with anyone anymore at all like so I'm kind of impressed that you guys I mean, I guess you had to do it you doing you gotta do you gotta do But it's so hard to like really fall asleep when there's somebody else in the bed I worry about this if I have a future husband I might go ahead and just start from scratch us not doing that Not sleeping in the same bed you're wanting at the beginning for sure I mean, I want to but I want all this stuff before And then but just right when I'm sleeping can they leave? Okay, yeah, if they are like me That would work out perfect because I probably would be awake longer But actually no because in the night there might be like a fun cuddle sure Okay, forget it. I take it I think for some period you'll definitely want that then for some other period I'm gonna be worried about farting And I'm you farting but Monica You're you cannot get married and still have this far thing you have to fart in front of your house No, I'm not gonna your life will be miserable. Erica doesn't fart in front Charlie. She never has he says I've never heard or smelled that's the same claim exact it can be done they must be doing out in a way you can't out in a way in the bed No, you have the whole point that you go out right I know but then you get the guests away from you in your fabrics and then you return in the night Yeah, so I wouldn't out in a way because I'd be asleep, but that's true, but but Ryan Well, you know he woke himself. I know but he was but I didn't wake up so like your your husband won't even know you're up You're in and inside. I want to tell a story, but I'm not gonna say who so my friend tried to out in a way Uh-huh in the bathroom and it was It was so loud. Oh Okay The jazz I mean, it was so loud. Yes. No, it was so loud. No, this is a female friend. Yes, it was so loud that her husband thought Wow, that's spectacular Well, I'm trying to think of how far it would sound It also sounded like I think he must have just woken up in her like a loud noise coming from the bathroom He was And then he thought There's some I'm trying to think how he You probably just is like oh and then she's in the bathroom and I heard this loud noise So she's throwing up. She's that's see that is the problem with holding them as long as you do when they come out It's gonna sound like someone's vomiting If you're letting them out here and there that pressure won't build up to that level. I'm going into a different room I can't go in a hotel with my husband Anything oh Oh, it's so scary to be a person Oh, he won't care. I know you can't convince yourself of that. This is a ding-ding-ding. It is yeah, because this is for Kaley Quoco Uh-huh. Oh, this is perfect Because we were talking about separate room sleeping. Yeah, and I'm just gonna say I'm for it. Yeah sure I'm for not feeling nervous that you're you're gonna have to fart in the night Because nocturnal if I do fart, which is almost never It is in the night or the morning Well, you're morning Uh-huh. That's my own personal time Hey, Rob does not does Natalie fart a Natalie. Have you ever have you ever have it this? Have you ever heard her fart?

That's all I do understand that I do understand that argument And I would want I would want someone to accept my farts, but And I would accept farts. I know I would but I don't trust I don't trust that people will accept mine That's right, and that's just that's for the work you need to do with your therapist. You need to bring into her That you Feel unworthy of love if you fart or I have to marry like a troll or my dad who's no he couldn't smell Oh, that's good. You should put that on your tinder thing like What are you looking for someone that can't smell Think how all pretty that would be because yeah because you'd be like oh they read they smell so bad Oh, um, just what are you doing with your farts?
