00:03:05
don't make them like that as much really don't that's a that's a cigar problem it's just metaphorical cigar but I find
00:03:13
that in the the the kind of like war zone or it's like the Army not literally
00:03:18
save your letters but how bonded you get when there's you know it's your 18th hour on the set I mean so you guys are
00:03:26
have a thing that you share and so I'm just wondering what like to reconnect now for the first time since the
00:03:32
premiere for wrong missing it means so much means everything it's so fun I love
00:03:38
seeing you I'm so I I was such a fan of David forever and so I literally
00:03:43
auditioned for the movie because your name was you know listed us being in a movie I mean not that I wouldn't audition but I was like I have to
00:03:48
audition for that um and so I was so excited when I got to work with you well when they do this was it it wasn't quite
00:03:55
covid yet right it came out during Co it came out literally the first like month of covid or something insane mhm well
00:04:03
you so what do you do you self tape or you go in those days no I went in that was nice I mean that's the thing I miss
00:04:08
that so much cuz we don't ever go in anymore but um I went in and auditioned for Tyler who directed it and a room
00:04:15
full of people that I didn't know Grady was there I think oh okay good um yeah so and I saw a bunch of people I knew
00:04:21
there which is always the fun you know part of going in these things and now we don't do that anymore we just do it in a
00:04:27
black hole in our house and send it out and nobody watches it great it's very weird then your your baby does the off
00:04:33
camera yeah no but you know when we were doing wrong Missy when it came up so I read it
00:04:39
and I was like okay well I think Adam was like this is really funny but I think you're more the
00:04:45
straight man do you like I said I want to do that I want to try that because it's kind of fun to be that I always say
00:04:52
like Ben Stiller and meet the parents or you know when there's crazy [ __ ] going on Rea someone just react cuz it's if
00:04:59
you can get laugh of her then a reaction then back to her like you can get double yeah and of course everyone's nervous
00:05:05
cuz I'm like this is all riding on Missy and uh I saw some stuff some tapes and
00:05:11
then there was some names talked about like and Adam was really about like let's get someone that's not just a
00:05:17
total household name no offense to Lauren but you know just someone that's not like oh it's for sure IA Fisher
00:05:23
because that's kind of that type of character yes who's great of course uh
00:05:28
but then there was someone from Ireland I saw Lauren did I tell you that no I don't think so there was someone from
00:05:34
Ireland that had a accent that would be good honestly Adam sent it to me and I he goes this one's pretty funny and it
00:05:41
was and I was like so wow really from Ireland like people are getting their tapes in and um yeah at least
00:05:47
something's working Adam got it and was laughing at it and then uh they were like uh oh nope somebody just came in
00:05:54
and did great and uh and it was you and then we went out to Hawaii and you know
00:05:59
the think the first thing I noticed I mean you have to see the wrong Missy to really get this so everyone has
00:06:05
to watch it real quick if they didn't but the first day I knew Lauren was great because we had that I think it was
00:06:11
our actual first date in the movie yeah we had the wrestler yeah what is it oh
00:06:18
Roman Reigns who's turn he's such a sweetheart yeah he's so nice and he was at the bar and then I come in and then
00:06:26
you're being an [ __ ] to everyone why I even like you is the funny F the whole movie so true like nothing good happens
00:06:33
between us the red flag store went out of business within the first 2 minutes of the movie you're yelling you're like
00:06:38
just talking you're like hey sorry quit I [ __ ] me she's like screaming to someone across the room and I'm like hey
00:06:45
hey hey don't yell at me like and then it's like Charming to me what what is your charact yeah you're like
00:06:54
broken so you're playing yourself basically the movie I'm myself she's and
00:06:59
then I sne I try to sneak off into the bathroom and climb out the window and then I think that was the first night
00:07:06
because I fall out of the window and break my my ankle or like and then I'm laying in a puddle and we're shooting it
00:07:15
I'm like God damn I forgot I don't really like doing movies it's so [ __ ] hard so first day lying I'm lying I'm
00:07:20
doing a night shoot on the first day and then everyone's above me you when you're laying on the ground you're like don't
00:07:25
step on my head or something cuz no one's paying attention to me I'm like guys first
00:07:30
team you are so funny though when you're when you're upset which is maybe a
00:07:36
problem that is discovered well I'm in a puddle and
00:07:42
I'm like shaking and she and and uh and they're like hey did they put a blanket on you was like freezing cold like I'm
00:07:50
like why is it cold I'm in [ __ ] foot on that was like fake so I could snap it oh yeah there was
00:07:56
something weird about that too like it was like fake leg stuck up my jeans and my wang and then she's like breaking it
00:08:05
I'm in a puddle I'm freezing and they're like you're shaking on camera I'm like I can't not I'm a per person and I'm
00:08:11
freezing person I'm a person were you number one on the call sheet initially
00:08:17
and then they moved Lauren's name up to number one no it was Lauren they did that in
00:08:24
post retroactively she was number one I got to the set that day and I go hey can I call a quick meeting and then suddenly
00:08:30
you hear a typewriter white out you could do better typewriter sound
00:08:36
effect than that King King he's the king
00:08:42
but you all from old Hollywood that at a given point I think some old Hollywood
00:08:47
guy said to me you gotta see this girl it's like that she's like Jim car had a
00:08:55
baby or she's [ __ ] great this girl that's so nice yeah like Jim Cary had a
00:09:01
baby just alone except with no one else all right
00:09:07
had a baby with just some weird person uh but yeah so from that first
00:09:13
day when I think you know Lauren I'll speak for her for the rest of the podcast but that' be great she if you're
00:09:20
if I'm right Tyler the director would come in and say like Tyler sound the
00:09:25
Creator yeah he comes in and go Tyler the director that's his rap directing name and he'd
00:09:32
go uh hey um I just want the audience know that it is the director and he'd go hey Lauren maybe on this one a little
00:09:39
drunker or something and then she'd do it and I'd be sitting there going [ __ ] she's good and then he' go maybe a little sexier and then maybe a little
00:09:46
and then just take after take plus we're doing wide medium closeup over the shoulder so she's got to do like a
00:09:52
thousand takes I'm like [ __ ] she's going to burn out this is tough cuz she's ad living her ass off we have a funny
00:09:58
script she's doing and then once you get that okay to do whatever it's the best
00:10:03
she was really bringing it though I'm just saying letting me talk cuz it's compliments you prob won thank I love it
00:10:10
no I'm I'm thank you so much that so nice no I mean it was it was it's pretty phenomenal I just wonder from your point
00:10:15
of view and you've done a lot of stuff but you obviously you're in a big Adam Sandler produc happy Madison you got
00:10:22
David Spade and the whole whole thing but from your point of view when you started being directed by Tyler the
00:10:28
director what was yeah Tyler the Creator he's he's going to love this Tyler fendel Tyler I know I I met him I think
00:10:36
DC incredibly humble guy so you're proba when are you feeling really comfortable like okay I'm really I'm getting to do
00:10:43
stuff are you when are you feeling good like you know you're Landing are you seeing are you going back to the Monitor
00:10:50
and checking yourself or you I don't think so but I think on the first day I felt good because I because the
00:10:55
character's so big and I have to like go I you have to commit so hard once I was
00:11:01
like yelling in the restaurant like you were talking about like I feel like that I felt good because it's like you have to just feel like I have like I was
00:11:08
still nervous that day but like the feeling of I have to just fully commit takes over and then so I feel like it
00:11:14
made me feel confident because also Tyler is so open to you know adding your
00:11:20
own humor and stuff which was great and it's getting laughs well great yeah and getting laughs is amazing of course that feels so good and then you feel like
00:11:26
okay it's working people but when she gets a big laugh I go no more of that he pinches me really hard under the table
00:11:32
under the table and I go hey come on hey come on she get a big laugh Dan and then I go maybe maybe I could say that on
00:11:38
this take and she's like I'm sorry what well that was me walkie talking
00:11:44
with Dex during the production and you know all I'd hear was like I don't know
00:11:49
man oh yeah that's me I'm like I don't know I mean I got no but I remember about halfway through cuz Lauren was
00:11:56
doing this every day and we were having a good time and like Dopey Johnny Farley's there and schwartzen is there
00:12:02
Jackie sand it's totally fun so it's it's definitely fun it it's hard to be in Hawaii but I was Finding ways to
00:12:09
complain shockingly why is it hard to be in Hawaii well I'm saying it's it's sarcastically we're in Hawaii we're
00:12:15
doing a movie every every dream situation yeah but uh I but then toward like the middle actually toward about
00:12:22
two-thirds way through I was looking at what we had left and I'm like I think this might be funny cuz you're doing it
00:12:27
out of order but I go we still have this threesome scene we still have this we still have her like falling off the
00:12:33
cliff I go I think we are in pretty good shape but you just never know no it's so
00:12:38
scary making something and then you just have no idea how it'll turn out and I mean I'm so happy it's
00:12:49
funny but tell us about the time when we when you were wrapped in quotes and then
00:12:54
oh my God they said can you stop by well cuz at the by the end I felt pretty beat
00:12:59
up like I mean cuz it was a lot of physical stuff and I like waterboarding myself in the hot tub or whatever and
00:13:06
like yeah that was a hard day remember when you couldn't sink in
00:13:11
the tub no I couldn't S I could stay I couldn't stay down I walk in and she's supposed to be floating under the water
00:13:18
it's which is impossible to do we found out and she's coming up with that [ __ ] on her face for hellar every time I walk
00:13:24
in like Lauren we can see your nose Lauren you're not totally submerged my God well I'm dying D I know and I really
00:13:31
hate being underwater which I didn't tell anyone I just was like I'm fine like I don't want to tell anyone because
00:13:36
it makes me feel more pressure if people are aware that I don't like you know what I mean like it's just like the whole thing like I'll just do I'll just
00:13:42
suffer you know quietly but then I was like texting you like I'm crying um but
00:13:47
it was hard but yeah at the end then I had to get in the ocean and the ocean almost drowned me like I had to like be
00:13:53
knocked over by the waves it was getting dangerous I was being swept down and there were two guys who would like catch me on either side to make sure I like
00:13:59
fly off into the distance but um and I had like four stunt doubles who were amazing by the way remember when your I
00:14:04
walked back I walked the set my one half day I wasn't working and I go let's go to Sandy Beach and watch her get
00:14:10
pummeled by waves and then they go I get there I go you know I used to go when I was in Hawaii this is like a shorebreak
00:14:17

00:14:22

00:14:28
stunt man walk a woman walking up going I'm out and they're like what do you mean I'm out they're like get somebody
00:14:33
else I've they did have to tap out I mean because it was they were doing like a million times and yeah yeah you know
00:14:39

00:14:44
I'm like I'm done finally yes and they're like oh you just have one more day uh just some like quick little
00:14:49
special effect thing and then I get there and they on the way to the airport yeah they put me in a in like a like a
00:14:57
circle and I'm holding on with like I'm holding on to all sides like I'm I don't
00:15:02

00:15:09
circles and so they were spinning me in circles Head Over Feet so I would like make crazy faces and I was going to Bar
00:15:15
I mean it was crazy and I was so grumpy cuz I was just like I had I was like celebrating being done and then I had to
00:15:21
get in this thing and get sick Can you buzz by and just do like 5 Seconds of you falling off the cliff and hitting
00:15:27
the wall and you're like sure and then it's like three and a half hours later yeah yeah I remember going oh my God cuz
00:15:34
I would try to stick up for Laur I knew she wasn't going to say anything and I'd be like I think maybe we're pushing her
00:15:40
too hard but you know listen when all the dust settles movies it was all worth it it was all worth it and then I didn't get to do anything because of the
00:15:46
pandemic so you know I was happy it happened I didn't even [ __ ] celebrate I lit a I know flare in my house let a
00:15:54
te did it did it open to a million minutes and build from there you knowa
00:15:59
was it how did it or it did it slowly get to the billiones it was pretty fast
00:16:04
to the billion well they go well you know you can tell because Scott stuber
00:16:10
who was running the studio called because he called me I'm father of the year and it's you know when this when
00:16:15
the guys the high UPS call it's they don't call you with bad news they call and go hey wrong Missy is already number
00:16:22
one and I was like oh cuz they just started putting one through 10 at the bottom oh yeah so with father of the
00:16:27
year I didn't know and he just goes it's doing great I go it is I is it started and they go yeah it started this week I
00:16:33
go oh okay started cuz Netflix I didn't know you know there's no Prim reason and
00:16:38
then with with wrong Missy and then Ted called and said it looks like it'll be number one in the world by tomorrow I'm
00:16:44
like what and then I get people sending me a photo on DMs like number one in Italy like from their TVs and I'm like
00:16:52
holy [ __ ] really so cool it's so cool it was the that was fun it was the best so
00:16:58
you didn't to do a press tour because of Co and so forth and so on yeah I did some stuff on Zoom but I feel like my
00:17:03
internet was like 1% working and itd be like like I don't know that like anything
00:17:09
actually televised Spade wrong Spade what you
00:17:15
hate Spade uh yeah how many minutes did you
00:17:20
do in Thailand I mean what was the total minutes I don't even know what minutes are good to be honest I just read that
00:17:27
some I I saw some chart you were top it was special it was a special or
00:17:32
something right it was something that uh minute wise we're all appreciate the
00:17:37
minutes we're all just looking for our next me and David Spade movie now yeah well if it wasn't okay I two questions
00:17:44
one if it was a sequel to the wrong Missy what would be a pithy title rather
00:17:50
than just wrong Missy to like the wronger Missy or if they put you to I'm
00:17:56
just thinking out loud cuz I used to be a studio EX executive we put you to we put these two bees these two Cutie Pies
00:18:03
in another film they play different characters yeah I think we should reverse roles and you just do Missy and
00:18:10
then that's it I think one of the the wrong mister one of the uh ideas was we
00:18:17
get married and then you you've calmed down and and in the first scene we're
00:18:23
having sex and we and we realize it's your don't whisper we're having sex
00:18:28
having twin sister who came to it came in so now now you're normal but you're
00:18:33
playing your sister it's the same movie again but I like that idea but it's but
00:18:39
she's crazier and then you put a she puts a hex on me and then I spin out and go act like you and then that gets
00:18:46
crazier [ __ ] and then we should have like we have like four quadruplets who are all like me and they're all crazy
00:18:52
that's it a twin the wrong misses and it's two yeah and one is very cool and
00:18:57
one is even crazier all let's do it or I cheat and it's the wrong mistress and then she's crazy when it
00:19:04
was me and I had a mask on yeah exactly I mean there's so many ways to go or you
00:19:09
work at a Vegas hotel in the summertime and you have a mister and you go around
00:19:14
the WR Mis miss him by the pool I'm just okay words to start with mis it has to
00:19:22
be familiar yeah I feel you know cuz you give me a pitch and then I can tell my head how many million minutes it is
00:19:28
it'll get that one a million minutes yeah yeah I see instead of box office you got to
00:19:34
think minutes yeah it's great stuff okay you know all right our that's about the
00:19:39
Miss chunk you know Lauren does a show Lauren called newcomers I do we thought
00:19:46
this was if I was not doing this podcast I'd want to do a podcast like that yeah it's so fun we so it's me and Nicole

00:23:56
anything and that was good good that was fun which one rocked your world of the scories the most Good Fellas was the
00:24:03
best movie we loved it what do you think it should be I was thinking of Serpico
00:24:09
Dog Day Afternoon those all those just haven't seen those what what am I like a am I like some kind of clown to amuse
00:24:16
you just that scene alone weird could go forever yeah Nicole wants to marry Joe
00:24:21
peshy right now oh she loved him all that yeah she loves him so much from all the movies she's like I want to marry
00:24:27
him now I don't care but yeah they were allowed to add lib as long as you said [ __ ] is that true I don't know it seems
00:24:34
like it it feels like it he's in the middle is that is that the no that's Casino where in the desert and Joe's like where do you get off getting on
00:24:41
[ __ ] TV you're on [ __ ] TV every day and he goes you got to keep things quiet go me you're on TV you [ __ ] and
00:24:48
they're just screaming at each other 20 minutes that would have fun thing to to do just to see all these movies I mean
00:24:54
Dao's underplayed neurotic guy is so funny it's very satisfying because it's all
00:25:00
stuff that like is just so much in pop culture that I just missed because I watch reality TV every day and so to be
00:25:08
like Oh I'm and then it always feels really good when you're watching a good movie you're like oh it's so nice to watch like a good
00:25:14
movie I just watched so much Bachelor and stuff and I'm like oh there's a story here like it's so calming you
00:25:21
watch 90 day I do I you know I was really into 90 day for a while I had to pull back I I only have so much time you
00:25:27
know but they have so many spin-offs yeah what what's the one that you watch that you hated any movies you
00:25:35
you hate most we need a we need a trender oh yeah no we yeah you want to put something in on Instagram we um we
00:25:43
we don't like everything but we try to see the good in things because people you know get defensive I love them so
00:25:50
much true so even you know the Irishman which I knew was like a million hours long I actually liked it it was just
00:25:55
really long but you know so we try to find things to say that everyone's good
00:26:00
in it so you go it's Sor sty and it can't be horrible of course it's great acting so you know and but I think the
00:26:06
funny thing with that was like the daging that they did like all that CGI with then like yeah Robert dairo or Joe
00:26:12
pesi was like calling Robert dairo kid for like half the movie I do that on my Instagram you know when you look at that
00:26:19
you just would would any of you ever like
00:26:25
under nervous circumstances get in the front seat of a of like an Oldsmobile
00:26:30
with a guy behind you you get in the front seat I'll sit in the back get in the front seat kill you yeah it's always
00:26:38
a wire around the neck the wire's not the way to go yeah are they surprised when the wire is coming over their head
00:26:44
going back to their neck I didn't see it what is it is it good Fells where they take peshi into a room no that they take
00:26:51
him out and bury him in the oh my God that's the saddest part when they when he walks in the room he doesn't realize it's happening oh yeah and there's like
00:26:58
a sound like oh or something and then he gets shot and you're like oh so sad
00:27:03
ni okay have you um just cuz you were talking about getting in the front seat have you seen those whmo cars that are
00:27:09
with no drivers have you talked about this no but I'm scared of them I'm it's so creepy would you get in
00:27:16
one I know people have gotten in in San Francisco and they're they're very nervous for the first few blocks and
00:27:23
then you get kind of used to it but I I'm not in a hurry to get into one I know it seems weird but then sometimes I think it's safer than like a random guy
00:27:30
on Uber like well it's just nobody not it's harder to get
00:27:36
raped I couldn't I saw one where they say here's a carless car whatever it is
00:27:42
driverless car and it goes up and people people in the back and then they floor it and it floors itself and hits a car
00:27:48
in front of them I'm like oh my god oh I don't want to hear about the glitches like no it's not supposed to do that wa
00:27:54
