Wooing. Wooing would be too strong, but just a little pri. No, it was right into I'll pick you up at 4.
00:00:06
And she was like, "Who is this?" 4:00 early for sex. Feels like we should keep the momentum moving forward. We've done
00:00:13
the accent. I don't want to run this podcast, guys. I'm too hung over. My mom would obviously given many.
00:00:19
Oh my god. I'm just kidding. She's like, I hope you don't cut your line out and then just leave me with that quote. That'd be a good idea.

00:01:20
busting our balls a little bit and she was pretty kind. I pulled out an Australian accent which I go in and out
00:01:27
of and she was very very kind about it. I I think it was a little cartoony but she loves Paul Hogan and she we really
00:01:34
get into the small community of Australia and all these superstar actors and performers. Yeah.
00:01:40
She was boys. Yeah. And she stole your notes and I always let the guests look at my notes because they get a confused look like what? Wait, you guys are preparing for

to say who. I'm just going to get clear here for a second. Have you guys ever met before? I didn't meet her. I met her
00:03:19
a lot many times. And she's always I just said, "Have you guys ever met?" I heard and I said,
00:03:26
"I've been married for 23 years. I only just got uh Yeah." So, no, we You only got what?
00:03:31
You know, separated, divorced. You feel happy? Not happy, but probably you're friends with Nicole Kidman now.

Maybe she's going through something. You You are really really really uh shocked. I have
00:03:43
left a message. which I have not um connected yet, but I don't really want to comment on that because there are
00:03:48
children involved. I will. You know, I did I left a like on one of her Instagram pictures and I thought that was a lot. I thought that just
00:03:54
shows thinking about her. Yes. Yeah. Tough times to be in the public eye. I luckily I stay underground. Literally, this was a
00:04:06
Yeah, it's really great. This is like a doomsday shelter. Yeah, it is. This is the apocalypse. It's when you get a place.
00:04:11
By the way, this is a good bombshell. This is fun. We're in here. We've got Diet Coke. We've got a few books. We got a Sandler.
00:04:17
It is like a bomb shelter in a little bit with good lighting. Well, we didn't want to overly bright it
00:04:22
up because they said, uh, I tell girls I'm 6'4. I'm really 64. And that's that's my Tinder app. I go, "Oh, they messed that up." Wait, you're on Tinder?
00:04:38
No, I Let's be honest. H. Uh, anyway, Isa, I'm glad I told someone I meet him at 4. I don't even know what I do at 4. You just said I'll pick you up at 4.
00:04:52
Well, wait a minute. I'm sorry. I missed the setup show. She said she's going to set me up with someone. I I said, "I've got a lovely friend that
00:04:57
I thought would be nice cuz you were single at the time." And he was like, "Cool, sure." And so then I gave I guess Digit over
00:05:04
anticipating there'd be some back and sort of something some kind of like wooing. wooing would
00:05:10
be too strong, but just a little pri. No, it was right into I'll pick you up at four. And she was like, "Who is this?" I
00:05:16
didn't know you were. And I said, "I'm sorry." I meant I'll pick you up for sex because I'm tired of what we've been doing so far. Which is never having met on Daily Mail
00:05:27
right now. Disc. Oh, where's my notes, Heather? Well, god dang it. We've We've done a lot of research. I carry my notes for an hour before you
00:05:38
get here and then they it starts and I Are they handwritten those notes? That's intimidating. Yeah. Here, you can take a look.
00:05:44
Can I just read off? Read off. Heather, go through all 28,000 ft. Looking at I'm just going to start off
00:05:50
by saying that there's no C in my name. It's Fisher. F I S H E R. Oh, I interview Eddie Fisher. Yeah, Dana, she's seen enough.
00:06:02

00:06:35
south of Iran where where gingers where short Scottish gingers end up being born.
00:06:40
So what is your current accent? What would you describe? What would you describe yourself? Um I think it's Australian.
00:06:46
Yeah. I'm not sure. Did you ever I mean I know you had this long long so far. What about A Place called Home? Was that what it was
00:06:52
called? Home. No, but then wasn't there a series called A Place called Home or something like that? Aussie series. Yeah, it was called Home and Away. Okay. Home in a way a place called home is similar enough
00:07:04
some but there was a separate maybe I saw your show was yeah we were you in Australia it's shown
00:07:11
in like many countries but I don't think it's shown during co he said he watched the series you were on I watched the series
00:07:17
Wolf like me I don't know Australian accent perfect for a while because I watched this Australian show it's terrible now oh come on
00:07:28
I'll be better at the end of this I don't want to do so Major but major was good. Major was good. I just don't do too hard
00:07:35
or Oh, that was a bit complicated. I go to Michael Kane in a shack. Oh, that is [ __ ] you Kane and back off.
00:07:42
My name is Buckle Kite. Oh, see you do it right. You're the first. You know why the secret?
00:07:47
What? Nasal. Yeah, block nose. But yeah, you got to get you are a head coat at Dutch. What? Dutch Michael Kite.
00:07:54
I know. You know I work. We can circle this around to the movie I'm promoting. So now you see me as my Now you saw me but you won't me see me
00:07:59
again. What's the title? Now you see me, now you don't. Okay. All right. So, this is a trilogy.
00:08:06
This is the third one. You were in the first one. I skipped the second because you had a baby.
00:08:11
Yes. And now this one's coming out November 14th. Mhm. Not on a streaming site. Movie.
00:08:18
Surprisingly, it's going to the cinema. It's unbelievable. It's so nice to be in a cinema again. I mean, like,
00:08:24
there's nothing better than watching something, you know, with people. That's big star stuff because they save the big
00:08:29
movies for I love going to the movies still. I go to the Grove at 4:00. You go with whoever you've
00:08:35
texted, whoever I texted that day. Yeah. And then I go, his new nickname is 4:00.
00:08:40
His nickname is 4:00. And then parentheses at it says, "By the way, this is a mass email."
00:08:47
[Laughter] Whoever responds, I heard of an actor. Uh oh, come on. I will tell you after, but it's an actor that would text girls and say
00:08:59
actively saying the first girl that uh gets back to me will get [ __ ] So, and that was the supposed to be excited and I was like they were supposed to be excited.
00:09:11
Everyone's supposed to be jumping and like jocking. I want to know what the hit ratio of such an outrage. It feels like low numbers. As a woman,
00:09:19
do you think that's a turn on as a phrase to I'm pretty sure it's dial in, get a
00:09:24
restraining order, at least report it to the police. Yes. And to sag. Yeah. To sag cuz it's an actor. I'll tell you after
00:09:31
and you won't be shocked. You'll be like, "It's not Nicholas Cage." I just wanted to announce
00:09:37
lower. Lower. I mean, not as big of but it's all rude. Uh, so now you see me. Now you don't. Now you don't. The third one is is it
00:09:48
called third one or is it called now you see me now you don't actually one of the very few talking points I was given when discussing this
00:09:55
film is to not let you say now you see me three. Okay. Oh no. No. Now you see me.
00:10:00
Now you see me now you don't. Yeah. Yeah. Jesse Eisenberg. Okay. All right. What was the first one word? One
00:10:05
word for these co your your pals your co. Jesse Eisenberg. Hilarious. Woody Harelson. Adorable. Stoned. Dave Franco. I'm adding my word.
00:10:17
BFF. Um, hot. Dominic Cessa. Dominic Cesa. Uh, kind. Ariana Greenblat. Sweet. Justice Smith.
00:10:29
Clever. David Spade. Handsome. Oh, I snuck you in there for I put on a sweater. Put on a sweater in the middle of [ __ ] summer. So, you also have Michael Kane in it briefly.
00:10:39
And Michael Kane, right? I'm wearing a blazer. Tweed blazer. I know. Both of us are fitzing. Incredible
00:10:45
clothes. That's really does this. Do you have a stylist? I'm serious. I do. I do. So do I.
00:10:50
It's called the gap. I don't think like people like it when you go, "Do you have a stylist?" And you go, "I do." And they go, "You look so together." I mean, it's
00:10:57
like look at Heather over there. No, Heather does have a Heather's the cutest. I saw that outfit right away. I
00:11:02
see her shorts. You reminded me of AC/DC, the lead singer. That's what I wanted to do as like
00:11:08
No, it's the guitar player. Yeah, guitar player in his school uniform with that little hat. Oh, he's [ __ ] Aussie. Aren't those
00:11:15
guys Aussie Aussie Aussie Aussie oi were you ever on neighbors controversial question. No, I was on home and away. Feels like Are they competing the questions? We are regressing. Let's feel like we
00:11:27
should keep the momentum moving forward. We've done the accent. I don't want to run this podcast, guys. I'm too hung
00:11:33
over. [ __ ] You're hung over because we hung out. I don't really drink. I mean, I'm a mom
00:11:39
of three drink. Does she? Not really. Not really. If you do ingest alcohol, what is it? If you
00:11:45
Well, it was an appperal spritz or two last. Two apparel. What? Why? Don't yuck my yum.
00:11:50
No, I like I like Is it cuz they're so sweet? I just don't like those kind of fancy spritzy
00:11:57
beer. I like beer. Logger beer. I fosters. Is that cuz you feel it's more gender appropriate? Masculine. Yeah, that's a feminine
00:12:03
drink. So, if you are in a completely neutral world and no one can watch what you drink, so there's no one around
00:12:11
in your Gap t-shirt. This is a gap. Oh, shots fired. No, he said it. He said I wear a
00:12:17
I'm wearing a Gap t-shirt. Yes. I don't just I don't um It's very nice. Three for 10 bucks. These are Gap pants,
00:12:24
I think. Anyway, back to the movie. Yeah. Why should someone see this movie? Oh,
00:12:31
Chelsea. Okay. because I feel like it has a lot of magic and we love magic. It's an action. It's a heist movie and
00:12:38
it's what we love. It's the team back together and the four horsemen. Yep. And there's a few more. There's some new
00:12:44
horses. There's ponies. There's ponies in this and they bring it. They're just fantastic. They're the greatest actors
00:12:50
and I feel like they just give a whole new it kind of just reinvigorates the story. It's good to bring energy. Trailer is
00:12:56
great. I mean, I really made me want to see it cuz I love Magic and I remember the other one. So, well, magic's interesting because it
00:13:02
kind of it's a conflict of beliefs, right? You watch something, you know logically why it can't be happening, but
00:13:08
yet it your brain is seeing it happen. And I think that sort of suspension and conflict creates sort of engagement.
00:13:15
I love how happy I mean in the trailer like she's got some hope diamond or something and somehow Jesse Eisenberg
00:13:20
has it and I've actually got the hope diamond. It's not the hope from this from when we shot the gave it
00:13:25
to me. Props gave me one. Perfect. I didn't know it was a Hope Diamond, but The Magician tricks you and then like has a little face.
00:13:31
Yeah, it's cute. It's the best movie. Honestly, I loved it. I loved making it. I love Ruben Faer. I love the cast and I
00:13:38
think people are going to love it. It's like a great It's fun. It's a good story, you know. Finally, if you told it at a dinner party, if I just like, you
00:13:45
know, once upon a time hit you up with the story, you'd be like, "Yeah, I want to see that." Well, the the the tiein
00:13:50
from magic, which is interesting, to bank heist to distracting everyone with magic distracting for a bank. It's all
00:13:57
very cool and well done. Yeah. And the tricks we can do. We have this like amazing like team of magicians. And
00:14:04
so everything that you see our characters do, do you do them? Yeah. So, one's a mentalist, Merritt Woody's character, and then you've got
00:14:09
an escape artist, myself, Henley, and then you've got the slide of hand. Then you've got these different types of sort of magicians coming together like a kind
00:14:16
of avenger group to I guess pull off what is this uh massive heist against this character played by Rosen Pike called Veronica Vanderberg and it is a she's fantastic. I mean she you saw in
00:14:27
Gone Girl and you see she's doing what she does best that kind of arch clever villain.
00:14:32
You split the money evenly. No, I got I got all of the money. I gave everyone I paid everyone, you know, in
00:14:38
snacks. Everyone in the movie just me the characters. split the money. Oh, the character as a whole. You meant
00:14:44
my uh We're paid in cash in this podcast and our manager I hold it out and he goes, "Now you see it, now you don't."
00:14:55
Perfectly nice and legal. Here's a question you may have not considered. All right, let hit me. What is the real cornerstone of health? The one that shapes energy levels, mood,
00:15:06
and even sleep. According to scientists, it's the gut. M the gut is the foundation of overall
00:15:12
health and vitality. It's not just about digestion. The gut affects everything from energy and mood to weight
00:15:18
management and even longevity. But here's the problem. Most gut supplements only contain probiotics or probiotics
00:15:26
and prebiotics at best. Yeah. And that's why Bioma is different. Bioma contains all three essential ingredients the gut needs. Prebiotics, probiotics,
00:15:36
postbiotics, and David, each ingredient is sciencebacked, third party tested, and
00:15:42
designed to work together to support better health from the inside out. Yeah. Just two capsules before breakfast make

00:16:04
today. So Dana, you have a massive house. Obviously I have a little tiny shack that you know it's just humble. Is 2,000 square ft massive?
00:16:17
So So when you need home security, which a lot of people do, it's not a bad thing. I always watch something online that shows someone got and they always
00:16:27
have video out front, which is better to have video. But could a home security system call SE security itself
00:16:36
to respond if someone's already inside? That's the idea. Can we improve this? Can we make it better? And um
00:16:42
now I guess we're about to announce there is a new way to actually stop someone from entering your home. Right. Simply Safe. This is a little different. You can stop it before it
00:16:54
happens. The idea is AI powered cameras detect threats while they're still outside your home and alert real
00:17:00
security agents and then uh the game changer is the agents take action while the intruder is still outside.
00:17:07
I like that they confront the intruder. They let them know they're being watched on camera and that the police is on the
00:17:14
way and even sound in a siren allow or triggering a spotlight if needed. This is how you stop a crime before it starts. You want to get them when they're outside your house. That's real security.
00:17:25
I mean, listen, now and then maybe it's someone on the sidewalk, but if someone's getting in your grill of your house,
00:17:31
Yeah. you want to stop it before and you got to let them know you're already busted. You really want to do this. And they're
00:17:36
like, "Nope." Yep. And they're called monitoring agents. Simply safe. Monitoring agents.
00:17:42
They got your back and they talk to the intruders even if you aren't home. Yeah. No long-term contracts or hidden
00:17:48
fees. You cancel any time. Named best home security system by US News and World Report for 5 years running. 60-day money back guarantee. So you can try it, see the difference for yourself.
00:18:00
Yeah. And you know what? It's better because I think something like this, these criminals, they'll probably skip your house if they have this. You know what I mean? Just go to somewhere easier. That's right. Right now, our listeners
00:18:14
can save 50% on simplysafe home security system at simplysafe.com/fotw. That's simplysafe.com/fotw. There's no safe like simplysafe. Did
00:18:30
anyone go really crazy with the magic? Cuz to me, Dominic Cessa is so good. He can like
00:18:35
throw a card across the room as hard as you know. And then who else? Jesse's good. Dave's good. Everyone, we all kind
00:18:41
of got into it. But you're an escape artist. So, how did you practice that? Oh, wait, wait.
00:18:47
You get the one I You're going to tell me because you've told it too much, but I want to hear how scary water is because
00:18:54
I'm scared of water. Really? And I'm I saw I'm scared of like the ocean going in and I used to not be as a
00:19:00
kid. Now I am. And so I read that you got in water and I'm like I couldn't. It would be too. I'm sure you've told a story before, but
00:19:06
you had No, I have to say like it's one of those stories, you know, when you do like a press tour and you end up like you get
00:19:11
kind of more and more worn down and tied and you start using a bit of hyperbole. Oh, and you kind of go Yeah. Yeah. Cuz it's like I don't know. You
00:19:17
get sort of slightly bored and so I exaggerate it a tiny bit, but then taken out of context. It sound scary just to be in water in a
00:19:24
scene in handcuffs and you but there was a release switch and the water could be drained in 9 seconds or something. So, I
00:19:30
was never at in any genuine peril, but it did feel like at the time that um it wasn't fun when I was like, "Oh, my little handcuffs, the handcuffs are caught underneath like the steel bars,
00:19:41
and I thought this is less Little Mermaid and more just like middle-aged woman thrashing in the tank." Less Little Mermaid, more I'm going to
00:19:48
die. So, you have a stunt double who goes and does it first, right? Um not on these.
00:19:53
Not on not on the tank handcuffs. Uh, in this movie we did use stunt doubles for a few tricks but not for many.
00:20:00
Okay. But I don't want to do any spoilers cuz really Don't spoil it. You already spoiled it. Have I spoiled it? Watch this. I was in a movie The Wrong
00:20:06
Missy. Hey everybody. Oh, a few people. All right. Watch out. Recently one. You know what it is, right? A
00:20:11
billion minutes. It did a billion minutes on that. It was Yeah, it's the greatest. I love Missy and the girl was so funny.
00:20:18
She's so funny. So, I'm in a shark tank in some dumb scene and then and then they we did it in a pool first.
00:20:25
Yeah. And then they go, "Tomorrow we do it in the ocean." I go, "No, no, no, no." I go in it in the ocean in a shark tank
00:20:32
where there's sharks in the ocean. But they go, "This should not be where sharks are in Hawaii." And I go, "Where
00:20:37
do you where do you know where sharks are in the ocean?" So, they had to go under. Same thing. So, because a shark
00:20:44
gets caught in the thing with me. Anyway, very scary. And I relate to your story. And you know what the movie
00:20:50
loves? When I say I almost died in it. Yeah. The movie company loves that. Oh, they do? They go, "Is that great? Could you keep
00:20:55
telling the story about how we didn't make you safe?" And I go, "I I thought that potentially too, but
00:21:00
then I got a kind of weird email." And then when we did another uh I think it's in the movie actually trailer, so I can
00:21:06
say this, but we are in a tank again. And when we came to shoot that, there was a lot of isa Isa, are you okay? Isa,
00:21:12
are you Isa, are you what? I'm Australian. I'm a surf lifesaver. I'm fine in this tank. I know when I had this, everyone goes, she's not going to like this. She's not going to like
00:21:23
water. I didn't even get that joke. I very triggering. She'll be like, "What if I fell in it? I couldn't." And I'm like, or Australians kind of like they seem badass to me, you know, like the
00:21:37
Hemsworth brothers and you know, the men and they all do great accents. Are you in that world where you
00:21:43
can just I mean I think there's just not much call for an Australian dialect. So we all sort of have
00:21:49
great American actor Russell Crow is extraordinary ear. Yeah. Yeah. Where those guys you run into pretty much all the Australian stars. Yeah. Yeah. We do all hang out. It is
00:22:00
like a bit of a koala mafia. Like 16. It's like an antibodian gang of like we get the best people over here. like the best actors and actors wind up in our stuff.
00:22:11
So, just the ones that stay, are they do they want to get over here? Was that always the idea or not? Well, you know, they they didn't used to
00:22:17
be. It's improved a lot, but we didn't used to have that much sort of content, original content being developed in Australia.
00:22:23
There are now more Australian filmmakers telling Australian stories. Um, and we shoot a lot, a lot of American stuff
00:22:28
shoots there. And we've got now like Warner Brothers on the Gold Coast. And I think we have state funded drama schools. And there's a lot of money in
00:22:34
the arts. Way more money. The government puts a lot more money in the house. They probably make more there than they do here. I mean, they make more stuff
00:22:40
there than they do in Hollywood anymore. Yeah. Well, right now with maybe tariffs heading our way.
00:22:45
Whatever. You know, there's all this Okay. The world's crazy. Whatever. But I always think of Australia. We could always move to Australia. I know.
00:22:52
I think you could actually. Um, not just because of your No, but because they don't let you in. They're really strict.
00:22:58
Really? How strict? Cuz I've had friends who wanted to move. They fell in love with an Australian man. It was like they waited. It's not
00:23:04
so, you know, cuz they don't try to come ashore. They have to go to an island first. The immigrants, is there an island they have
00:23:09
to go to, or is that made up or do they just like row in? No, I mean, yeah, we don't want to go on
00:23:15
that topic. Oh. Oh, okay. Sorry. I mean, we can, but I'm like I don't want to be
00:23:20
Oh, immigration. Yeah, I know. I don't want to be the spokesperson for like say it's hard to get to wear at the
00:23:27
premiere. Easy to get in America. Woody Harlson is such a bag of fun. He is so fun. I love Woody and Laura,
00:23:35
his wife. They they were great. And uh yeah, and we play this really dumb game where like we would all put our hands
00:23:40
out and like if we were to play this now, it's called fingers. And I would think of a finger like So put your hands out, right? I'm
00:23:46
going to think of a finger. Okay. And then you're going to guess which finger I'm thinking of. Okay. Okay. All right. Pinky.
00:23:52
Whose pinky? Yours. Okay. So that goes down. Oh, you eliminate. And then we go all the way around. But my point is we're
00:23:58
addicted to this game. It sounds so childish. Does not sound fun. Incredible. But we play it and Woody is
00:24:04
like he's manic about it. He's like, "Well, when are you playing the game?" Is it about you're trying to
00:24:09
eliminate everything? It's about how we communicate. But Dave and Woody have the best connection. And they've honestly
00:24:15
won like several times. And when you win, the feeling it could be a night shoot, could be 6:00 in the
00:24:20
morning, it could have been awake, could have like been on a stage in stilettos and you're miserable. But when Woody and Dave crack it,
00:24:26
it's nothing. It's like a magic thing. It's the idea. It's like there's a tell. There's a tell
00:24:31
you're giving, but you don't know you are. No, it's like the idea that you just guess what somebody's thinking. It's just pure guess cuz mentalists will
00:24:38
do this with all these different tricks and mental. They have like little like Wait a minute. They cheat. Don't tell
00:24:44
me. They're magicians. They're not really I know, but don't I don't ever want to figure out magic. It's one of the few
00:24:49
things I cuz I'm too smart. And um that's one of my favorite lines. He is actually So when you go and I I like to be tricked. It's one of the few things you go, "Holy shit." and I'm tricked
00:25:00
literally every time. And so even movies like yours, I like to watch that. It is. It's a great twist in our movie.
00:25:06
You're going to love it. I love it because they those movies are very thought out because everyone's guessing ahead. Yeah.
00:25:11
Um I I've seen David Blaine do it in real life. Oh my gosh. Every time he does anything,
00:25:16
I don't know. I have no idea what's going on. Me neither. None. And mentalist on TV, I've seen lately on
00:25:23
Instagram. And um when I see those Rogan show, it's another podcast. Look it up, kids. They did they guessed his phone number or his social security number.
00:25:34
Oh, wow. Yeah, they flipped out. They do tricks where you go, I don't know how they do it. I'm I'm glad I don't. But one time the guy goes, here's
00:25:41
a Stanley Cup. And then he goes, uh, and then at the end he goes, "Where is it?" And he goes, "Check your ass." And it
00:25:48
was all the way up my ass. And I didn't feel it. Any else was there? My car keys. Let's look at a clue.
00:25:56
4:00. Joker ever PG-13. So good. That was so much. I'm trying to clean it up. But also a Stanley Cup. It's so ambitious. It's big. Yeah, you could have gone with the magic
00:26:09
wand or something related. And once you get to the handle, it's easy. That's what I was at. I was at where's the handle going?
00:26:15
Handle first. Uh other than that, four movies all of a sudden. Yeah, cuz that's extraordinary.
00:26:22
I mean, some of them I'm in small. I'm only in a like one scene in J. Kelly or two or three. How are you and Jay Kelly?
00:26:27
Yeah, just a little bit. I just did it cuz it's snow bombach and it was shooting in London and in Italy and it was like an honor to be with Adam.
00:26:34
That's great. Yeah, Adam Sanderson is great and George Cloon. I It's amazing. Did you see Adam at all?
00:26:39
I did. Oh, you did. Are you in a scene with Adam? Um, I'm in one scene with Adam, but his
00:26:44
character is sort of it's an audience scene, so we're all separate, but I did have a nice time with him.
00:26:49
Yeah. Yeah. Was he all right? Yeah. He was really happy. And I met him and Jackie came over. We did the like the tech, you know, we did I saw them a
00:26:55
bunch. Oh, great. Okay. So, Spa Weekend with Man. Those two are hilarious. That I'm not I think it's Mother's Day actually. Okay. And what was that about? Um it's why I watched your movie The
00:27:06
Wrong Missy cuz my character basically I watch my I play somebody in every friend group. There's one friend that nobody
00:27:12
likes and every lady friend group. But they get included and invited everywhere because you know sense of
00:27:18
is that you love you go what part of mine? And they're like, "The one everyone hates you."
00:27:24
No, that's But you know what? I would have had my feelings hurt, but when I got the offer, I was with my daughters
00:27:29
and they're like, "Mommy, you're so popular. Everyone loves you. That's weird that you're cast in that." If I hadn't had that like instant
00:27:35
gratification, I would have spiraled. But also, you play I would have because it's such a like the characters literally they want rid
00:27:41
of her the entire time. I love it. It's funny part. That's a that's a great So then I looked at all these kind of characters. I didn't end up using like
00:27:48
what I created in the end is much more like in keeping. They made Bad Moms and The Hangovers. So, it's like it's rated
00:27:54
uh PG-13. So, I It's like a moderate version of a bunch of different What voice did you use? Just American
00:28:01
accent. Oh, just my American accent. Okay. Yeah. Could you just go into that for a second? Yeah, like that. I just talk like that the whole way through the movie.
00:28:06
God dang. It's so weird. It's so It's so much harder I feel to talk Australian. Yeah, because you really got to open
00:28:12
your mouth wide and see your eyes and the land is Have you ever run into Paula Hogan? Yes. I love kicking around everywhere. Where's Hogy been?

00:30:40
know you now like you get some kind of uh off-kilter parts like you're going against the grain? Yeah. You consider
00:30:45
yourself a character actor in a way or both? But you seem like you get I feel like I'm a bit more of a character actor.
00:30:51
I feel really lucky about that. You know who's a character actor? Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig. Daniel Craig is a character actor because of the movie Glassins.
00:31:03
I was I was at the Oscars. Hold on. Yeah. Keep going. So, I'm in the in the little bar area and Daniel Craig's there
00:31:09

00:31:16
character parts. Obviously, when he does the what we have here is a Yeah. And then when you see him, his face can be a little goofy or he does his bond,
00:31:27
his whole body changes. Yeah. And he becomes really Are you interviewing him today? No, I'm
00:31:33
just applying you to him as people who are chameleons and can just disappear. Believe me, we're getting a little
00:31:39
Daniel Craig heavy for a second. I was with you. I was like, we Daniel Craig's invited on the podcast. He's a little like this.
00:31:45
No, but he makes a very handsome face. He gets He's very handsome face. He's very hot. He is handsome anyway, but he does a
00:31:51
Bond face, a prone face that just is very cool. I'm just a huge fan. I'm a huge fan of him, too. Even before
00:31:57
Glass Onion, is he on stage? By the way, he's a really apparently unbelievable on stage.
00:32:02
Sweet guy. What's a serious actor? Okay. Your dream part. Your dream part. I'm thinking Gary Oldman in Church Hill. Would you love to do something with prosthetics where you just completely

But you could do it again. I mean, well, I think you should host host right in. Yeah. I'd love to just do a skit. I just like
00:37:37
to just go on it. I just love watching it. I've been there live. I think you were there the night. Did we see
00:37:42
the 50th? I feel like there was a bunch of us there. No, I didn't go to that. But one of them I feel like in New York once I
00:37:47
have like Were you there with Blaine? David Blaine. No. Am I Oh, I went down there. Yeah. I feel like you were I sometimes Yeah, maybe
00:37:54
the afterparty. Mhm. The afterparty. The after party. Interesting. Yeah, after party. A lot of people with
00:38:01
Boston accent in this particular area. Wait, where did just quickly where did you and Chelsea go? Do you go out to
00:38:07
dinner and drink? Yeah, we went to Wallally's. We just went to Wally. Wallally's in Beverly Hills. Yeah, it was really nice. The cheese
00:38:12
platter is amazing. Obviously, it's like a cheese place. Did you just eat cheese and then drink as
00:38:17
No, we actually really broadened our horizons. We did capacio. We had like some of that special octopus and then we
00:38:23
split a burger. Oh, great. But you know what I will say? Don't let them give you the gourmet tomato sauce.
00:38:28
It's not good. Just ask for the straight up ketchup if you Oh, yeah. Sometimes they try to gussy it up.
00:38:34
It's just like it's it loses its What's your self-care habits? We're down to the nub. Sorry. We can go back to the movie. No, but you seem like you
00:38:45
do. You do crunches. Do you do crunches? Do you have a skin routine? Do you drink a lot of water? Because I'm hearing
00:38:51
Chelsea handler. I'm hearing spritzers. I'm hearing cheese. But you look pretty good. Darn good. So, you must have some
00:38:57
habits. Anxiety. Just I get nervous. And then I'm not that hungry. And you're not hungry. Yeah. That's it. And we have to before we uh
00:39:05
get you out here and get you an Uber, we have to say for Oh, yeah. For Wedding Crashers, do you audition for that or do
00:39:10
you get asked to do it or do you have to go in there and read? Oh, no. I read like I think five times for Wedding Crashers with Vincent.
00:39:17
No, no, no. With Lisa Beach and um is that casting? Yeah. I don't. And maybe Dokin and maybe
00:39:23
Andrew Pane. I can't remember. Is Dokin the director? Yeah, David. David Dokin. Yep. And then you go and they go
00:39:30
crazier, less crazy, whatever, whatever. Because that really I No, they actually didn't see her as that crazy. I think they wanted her to
00:39:36
be more sort of like of like a sort of seductive character. And then I thought it'd be funny if she was a bit more Glen
00:39:42
Close from S from Fatal Attraction. And then he just was great. David's so good at like letting you have like a wild take or two. And then he just used I guess in the end in the edit it did
00:39:54
work better that she was more threatening than she was little unhinged. Yeah. Such a gift when they let you
00:40:00
such a gift. And when they give you this space like it's it's like one thing if they go gh okay you can do a take but
00:40:06
it's another thing if they like they give you the process where you just feel like you can take the space and
00:40:11
you're not like annoying anyone by doing wasting everyone's time. That's the worst feeling when you there's everyone on the crew is watching
00:40:17
and when I do a take then you do it. All right moving on. No problem. No. All right, we're going to we're going to
00:40:23
Are you done with your take everybody? You think that was funny? That's your one. As long as you thought it was good. All
00:40:29
right, let's rap. But I would guess Vince Owen uh would be up for that and and laughing in a good
00:40:35
audience, too. Yeah. And they love and they're really fun to Yes. because they're smart enough to know if you score, they score. It's all if the
00:40:41
movie works. And Bradley Cooper was in that which I keep forgetting was in that. Uh great in that, too. Just another side
00:40:48
character. It's funny as [ __ ] Yeah. And the combination of all that was a such a hit. It just that's one of
00:40:54
those ones that last. Yeah. Those uh knots. It was 2008 or something. One of those hits, those Will
00:40:59
Ferrell movies, those big comedies with those guys did a few and they're just big and and they stick
00:41:05
around and it just always on your resume. It's nice to have one cuz it's as you know cuz that was probably early
00:41:10
on. It's just always hard as much as you go into movies like this will be a hit. Not. It's hard to get one that really
00:41:17
just all the way through stays funny through the editing, through the test screens, you're like, "Holy [ __ ] is
00:41:22
this actually staying good?" Yeah. But no one was really funny. Yeah. And it changed actually my career
00:41:28
cuz until then I felt like I hadn't really done comedies before and I wasn't really like considered for them and then
00:41:33
I got like a whole other Did you get a lot of do that like be that girl again? Oh no. I was lucky. I had like a I have always been with this wonderful agent for Oh, that's good.
00:41:45
20 odd years and he's always like, "No, you know, and I'm I love to like challenge myself." So, I didn't want to
00:41:51
I don't challenge myself and I've been doing the same part for since the beginning, but it's fine. It's good. You're like
00:41:57
got me this doomsday shelter. Movie stars kind of do the same part. Someone meets you at 3:00.
00:42:02
Somebody Oh, it's movie 3:00. It depends on if I'm Pacific or Central. I kind of do a wide net. I just hit the Rockies in this side. So
00:42:15
horrible. Whatever that story is. Um, all right. Oh goodness. Born in Somalia. We'll just wrap it up.
00:42:22
