Quiz? 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 5: No? 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I have a point, I promise. 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 4: Okay, Okay. 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: There's this article from The Every Girl that says knowing 21 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: your work link which is the secret to your productivity. 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of these articles out there that 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: have listicles and languages and. 24 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 4: The new Cosmo it's the new Cosmo quiz. 25 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: Yes, So Basically, I want to go through these and 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: see if we even agree. 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 4: Okay, let's hear it. 28 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 2: So apparently there are five different languages achievement, recognition, growth, collaboration, 29 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: and freedom. 30 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 4: Freedom sounds interesting? Do I have to pick one or 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 4: can I have all of them? 32 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: Well, let's go through them and let's see what we think. 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 4: Okay. 34 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: So the first is achievement, and this is the work 35 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: language for go getters, for people who love to hit targets, 36 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: solve problems, reach milestones. 37 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: That kind of sounds like you definitely. Up next is recognition. 38 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: This is the language for people who feel the most 39 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: accomplished when they receive public acknowledgment or praise for their work. 40 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: So even a simple thank you from a boss is 41 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: a big deal for people with this work language. 42 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 3: Okay, who doesn't want to hear thank you from their boss? 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 3: Who doesn't want to hear validation from their boss? One 44 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: thousand percent? This is just natural, This is human nature. 45 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: Honestly, I sort of have a theory that you, as 46 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: a boss, can tell your employee thank you, and they 47 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: care about that sometimes more than like a promotion or 48 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: oh my god, increase. 49 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. They don't they're so stingy. Usually with 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: the validation. I think that bosses should be way more 51 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 3: effusive with the praise. 52 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: The thank you word goes such a long way. 53 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 6: Mm hmm. 54 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: Okay. 55 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: The third work language is growth. This one's for people 56 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: who are constantly learning new skills improving their current skill set. 57 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: They love a challenge and opportunity to learn something new. 58 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: You can catch these people signing up for workshops or 59 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: training programs. I love this one because there are so 60 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 2: many resources that go untapped, especially at a lot of 61 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: bigger corporations that have more resources. But you can take 62 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: advantage of all these classes and workshops. Sometimes your jobs 63 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 2: will even pay for you to upscale off site or virtually. 64 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: I took a writing workshop at a company that I 65 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: worked at and I loved it so great reminder to 66 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 2: take advantage of what's in front of you. I feel 67 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: most connected to this one so far. I actually just 68 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 2: hired an executive coach TBD on how that goes? 69 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, like I really like learning new skills? 70 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Fourth is collaboration. The work language for all 71 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: the team players out there. So if this is you, 72 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 2: you love a good brainstorming sash, you enjoy bouncing ideas 73 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: off of colleagues, and individual recognition doesn't matter as much 74 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,839 Speaker 2: to you. Knowing that the team got the job done 75 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: is the most rewarding. So if you love a group 76 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: project growing up, this one's you. 77 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: Who loved group projects? Are they in the room with 78 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 3: us right now? 79 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: I'd love to know, Well, you're an only child, there's 80 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: no way you. 81 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: Loved a group press. 82 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. I will do it myself, Thank you. 83 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: I kind of love I like brainstorming back and forth 84 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: with people. 85 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: I do love collaboration. Yeah, I don't know about a 86 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: group project. Like we can brainstorm together and then I'm 87 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 3: gonna go off and I'm to do my own work. 88 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: That makes me laugh. Okay. 89 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: Last, but certainly not least, is freedom. So this one's 90 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: for solo workers who want independence. They enjoy taking ownership 91 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: of their own projects. A person with this work language 92 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: would rather manage their own workflow and are more likely 93 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: to prefer a remote job with flexible hours. 94 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: Everyone I hate freedom. 95 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: This one is like, here's the thing. 96 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: I feel like we could go in and be like, 97 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 2: this one's me, this one's not me, But I think 98 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: everybody has a little bit. 99 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: Of all of these one hundred percent the freedom one 100 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: is speaking my language. 101 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the stress language ones that we did feel like 102 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 2: they're more apropos. 103 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, if you're feeling a little bit dissatisfied with 104 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: this list, I do have some recommendations for other work 105 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: languages that we could add here. 106 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: Okay, give it to us. 107 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: Number one, parental leave.

I mean, speaking of 188 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 7: this special, I don't know if you know, but Stephanie 189 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 7: was nominated for an Emmy for directing my special. 190 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 191 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 6: I could not be more thrilled, very happy. I mean, I. 192 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 7: Can't even express enough like I would choose her over 193 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 7: me any any old day. And that is from my heart. 194 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 6: And soul. 195 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: Stephanie, congratulations on your Emmy nod. So in the special, 196 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: you talk about nailing a meeting with Reese Witherspoon. You know, 197 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: she's our EP and we have all these guests that 198 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 2: come into our studio and the cameras, the mics turn off, 199 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 2: and one of the things we get the most is 200 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: is Reees really as amazing as it seems? Or can 201 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: you send Reese my book? Like people are just obsessed 202 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: with Reese Witherspoon, which I totally understand. 203 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 4: Can you set the scene for nailing the meeting? 204 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: I think everybody wants to know how to nail a 205 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: meeting with Reese. 206 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 6: Well, you've come to the wrong people. 207 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 7: Personally, I feel like I fumbled through my entire relationship 208 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 7: with Reese, and conversely, I feel like she's fumbled through 209 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 7: her entire relationship with me because she has teased me 210 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 7: relentlessly over the years for different things, and I've let 211 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 7: a lot of things slide. But I also have to 212 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 7: say I love having a relationship with somebody where you 213 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: can rib each other and I take it from her 214 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 7: and she takes it from me. So as far as meetings, 215 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 7: though I certainly didn't nail that meeting. As you saw 216 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 7: in the special, I misunderstood what Reese had said, and 217 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 7: that in turn sent me off on a story that 218 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 7: made absolutely no sense to what she had said. Reese 219 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 7: started talking about the TV show that she worked on 220 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 7: called Big Little Eyes, and she said, yeah, I was 221 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 7: one of the shortest cast members of the show. I'm 222 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 7: five two, Laura Dern's five ten, Nicole Kidman is six feet, 223 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 7: and shay Lene is five eight. And I responded saying, oh, 224 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 7: that's interesting because years ago I dated a woman that 225 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 7: was six feet tall, and I think she was kind 226 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 7: of insecure about her height, so she hunched. And then 227 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 7: I was left in a meeting looking like I was 228 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 7: clinically insane. 229 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: Let me tell you what I heard. 230 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 7: I heard that Reese Witherspoon is five to two, Laura 231 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 7: Dern is five ten, Nicole Kidman is six feet, and 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 7: she leans five eight. 233 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 6: That's why I said what I said. 234 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 5: Well, it was interesting too, because you I think you 235 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 5: are good at meetings, and I think you're good at 236 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 5: reading a room. And that was a moment where it 237 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 5: was really like wow, she really went off there and 238 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 5: couldn't quite figure out what was going on. But clearly 239 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 5: we found out that you have a hearing issue. 240 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 3: We hope that you are getting the treatment that you 241 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 3: need for that to avoid future snaffoos. You know, that 242 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: moment was so funny to me because I am six 243 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: feet tall taking sephony, so I particularly delighted in the 244 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: tall person humor of that joke. 245 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: So okay, you two have been married for ten years 246 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: and now getting to sit with you both live. You 247 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: have such a cute rapport with each other. Are you 248 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 2: guys a romantic couple? Do you celebrate anniversaries? Or is 249 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: that stuff corny to you? 250 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 7: We celebrate when we met, when we started dating, when 251 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 7: we got. 252 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 6: Got it, decided to start dating. 253 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,239 Speaker 7: We have so many anniversaries, it's ridiculous. 254 00:12:58,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 6: It's truly embarrassing. 255 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: It's so sweet. Are you gift people? Do you take trips? 256 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: How do you celebrate? 257 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 7: We go out to dinner and I liked to send 258 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 7: Stefphanie really pretty flowers with a note that says, you know, 259 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 7: ten years of pure hell, here's to ten more. 260 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: When you two first met, who made the first move? 261 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 3: Was there were there butterflies from the start? How did 262 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: the how you meet story go down? 263 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 6: Well? 264 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 5: We met on Lake Bell's movie In a World, and 265 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 5: we were both actors in that And at the time, 266 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 5: Tig had a girlfriend and I did not know I 267 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 5: was gay and only dated men. So I feel like 268 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 5: we had a very platonic, like just enjoyment of each other. 269 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, we had so much fun working on set together. 270 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 6: And yeah, that I wouldn't say there was like a move. 271 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 7: And also backstory, I didn't know I was battling three 272 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 7: deadly ill is at one time.

Since 352 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 2: you're both comedians and writers, I want to get your 353 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: pulse on the importance of comedy right now. 354 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 4: I'll give you a quick story. 355 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 2: I moved to LA from Chicago about ten years ago, 356 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 2: and I didn't know anybody, and I realized I hadn't laughed, 357 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: and so every Wednesday night for two years, I would 358 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: go to the comedy store from ten pm to two am, 359 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: and it was five bucks and I would just laugh 360 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: and laugh, And comedy's always held such a special place 361 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: in my heart, and I look around our social and 362 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 2: political landscape now and feel like it's needed more than ever. 363 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 4: What do you feel. 364 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 5: It's so tricky because I feel like I, for both 365 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 5: of us, we really feel the weight of things in 366 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 5: the world and have a massive sensitivity to that. And simultaneously, 367 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 5: I think it's our natural instinct to find levity and 368 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 5: light and look for where there's good and try to 369 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 5: elevate that. And I think it kind of all goes 370 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: together at times where you go, God, I'm feeling so low. 371 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 5: I need that break. And I do think in that 372 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 5: break is a lot of times where there's connection and 373 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 5: where there's peace and where you can kind of like 374 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 5: find something to move toward. But at the same time, 375 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 5: I don't think and I mean, I don't know how 376 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 5: you feel ticked, but I don't think we ignore anything 377 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 5: that's happening and do comedy instead. 378 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 6: It's both. 379 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: And Yeah, So I watched your film on HBO, Max 380 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: and Dakota Johnson really made me giggle.

She's 385 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 7: just a very funny, deeply funny person. She had sent 386 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 7: it along to us for potentially directing, and because Stephanie, 387 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 7: I don't know, I mean, you had a somewhat similar 388 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 7: story in the Later in life coming out story. It 389 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 7: just felt like not only was it a different take 390 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 7: on coming out, but it was yeah, I think a 391 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 7: personal yeah connection, Yeah. 392 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 6: I really. 393 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 5: I mean I've felt like I just governed my sexuality late. 394 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 5: I now look back and go, God, I wasn't that old. 395 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 5: And I feel like even since then, ten years ago, 396 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 5: so many people are coming out at so many different 397 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 5: ages and really discovering that part of themselves, you know, 398 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 5: at seventy or eighty. And in this movie, Dakota's in 399 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 5: her thirties. And I feel like that was something that 400 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 5: we both were really drawn to, and not just in 401 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 5: terms of coming out, but just in anything in life, 402 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 5: this sort of I think people carry a lot of 403 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 5: sort of shame and guilt for not having figured things out, 404 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 5: and then they feel like it's too late to start 405 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 5: or try or change things. And we both I think 406 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 5: we're really drawn to just that idea of going, you 407 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 5: know what, fuck it.
