Speaker 1: up in interviews, and I thought, this isn't fair. People
Speaker 1: need to know. Thank you having asked to get that
Speaker 1: out there. So thank you for doing it. Hey, and
Speaker 1: for the record, your public didn't tell me. I did
Speaker 1: that myself. No, no, listen, I'm sure your publics are
Speaker 1: doing their job, but to me, it's very It's clear.
Speaker 1: But I also know that you need that sort of
Speaker 1: narrative out in the world. Anyway, I'm very grateful you're
Speaker 1: doing this now. Hilariously, You're an American doing this in
Speaker 1: London and I'm English and I'm doing this in America.
Speaker 1: Oh we like, aren't you specifically in La? Aren't we
Speaker 1: in each other's city? Yeah, I'm in your house, I'm
Speaker 1: eating your food. Every one's very familiar. Yes, So why

Speaker 1: two of ted Lasso. So exciting, very exciting. Now, Chelsea,
Speaker 1: you are in a very small I don't know what
Speaker 1: the word is, kadra of guests on the show I've had,
Speaker 1: I think you're the second person who is almost a
Speaker 1: right to reply. I had your husband Race on the show.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic, and we talked a little bit about you.
Speaker 1: And now you're here yourself. This is your episode and
Speaker 1: you're allowed to say whatever you would like about rhet Race. Frett.
Speaker 1: You were right to ask him to come on the
Speaker 1: show first. He is a brilliant writer and such a
Speaker 1: fun person. And yeah, he loves doing the show. He
Speaker 1: was really glad to do it. He obviously he loves
Speaker 1: to sit and talk about movies. It's his favorite talk. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So he's a writer, you're an actor, and you have
Speaker 1: a successful marriage. What's your secret? Burtst into tears. This
Speaker 1: was the time I wanted to tell everyone. I'm terribly
Speaker 1: you know. That's where listen, we started with the human being.
Speaker 1: Now let's get into it, a very flawed, sad, scared,
Speaker 1: alone human being. What's our secret? I have no idea.
Speaker 1: He's just a very he's just a very good person.
Speaker 1: It's a it's not a secret at all. It's just
Speaker 1: just marry, marry a good one, Marry a nice person.
Speaker 1: It's nice to have a partner through it, you know.
Speaker 1: It's wonderful to have a person who gets it, who
Speaker 1: knows all about it and understands the crazy thing we're doing.
Speaker 1: But where our relationship in our home life is so
Speaker 1: not crazy, just balanced and real and fun. You know what.
Speaker 1: It sounds simple, but that is really good advice to
Speaker 1: marry a nice one, because I don't think many people
Speaker 1: look for that. I think it's sort of frowned upon.
Speaker 1: It used to be for a long time. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: lot of crazy ones. Yeah, the crazy ones. And then
Speaker 1: I had to write the Ship. Yeah. So when you're
Speaker 1: when you know, when Rhet is doing a big film
Speaker 1: or you're doing a big film or a show, do
Speaker 1: you travel together, do you could try and be together?
Speaker 1: Because I know you're together now in London. How often
Speaker 1: do you like for a long time apart. This is
Speaker 1: the first time we've ever done this where we've both
Speaker 1: gone somewhere together because for the last six years and
Speaker 1: some change, I was doing Fresh off the Boat, which
Speaker 1: filmed in LA and so that that kept us in
Speaker 1: that city nine months out of the year. But he
Speaker 1: does mostly features, so they almost never shoot in LA,
Speaker 1: so he often would travel for work. And our role
Speaker 1: was that we would never go more than three weeks
Speaker 1: without seeing each other, one of us back and forth,
Speaker 1: and so we had good people helping us, good line
Speaker 1: producers helping us make that happen. And this is the
Speaker 1: first time I've ever shot outside of LA for longer
Speaker 1: than a month, So this was the one, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: might beature, were certainly since we've been together, and so
Speaker 1: this one we had to make a bigger decision. We
Speaker 1: also have a son now, we have a two and
Speaker 1: a half year old, so it was we like we
Speaker 1: all we all have to go. We have to make
Speaker 1: this move happen together. So he is being a good
Speaker 1: sport and he's still kind of working La hours from
Speaker 1: here because he's a much bigger deal than I am.
Speaker 1: He has he has a much fancier career, so he's
Speaker 1: the one with all the meetings and us. So he's
Speaker 1: been great about it. And he's got a great writing
Speaker 1: partner who has been wonderful too and helping us out
Speaker 1: with all the scheduling stuff that is very very cool.
Speaker 1: And how are you finding your working in London? Actually
Speaker 1: I've got a serious question. I mean the one before
Speaker 1: was serious. I went't fucking around. But in terms of
Speaker 1: like size and scale and sort of production. You did
Speaker 1: a huge TV show that ran for years in America.
Speaker 1: Now you're on a TV show in England. What do
Speaker 1: you notice about the difference in sort of scale and production?
Speaker 1: Do you know what? I haven't filmed yet. I've only
Speaker 1: done tests and fittings and rehearsals, so I have no idea.
Speaker 1: But I have done mostly network comedy, so I think
Speaker 1: I'm pretty spoiled. I think, you know, especially for shows
Speaker 1: going well, they they're so they're so fancy and you
Speaker 1: always have amazing accommodations and food and um so I
Speaker 1: had I have been warned not to expect that, but
Speaker 1: I don't know if that was an accurate warning or not.
Speaker 1: I haven't I haven't see nothing nothing. I did walk
Speaker 1: through the set yesterday and the set was gorgeous, so great.
Speaker 1: Certainly they're certainly not you know, penny pinching when it
Speaker 1: comes to production value. So yeah, well I'll let you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, you should probably tell me, what should I
Speaker 1: be expecting. I guess it pends because Ted Lasso we
Speaker 1: did film in London, but it but it had huge
Speaker 1: scale and we had the best of the best of
Speaker 1: the best, And I think that's because there was a
Speaker 1: lot of money. That I've done, I've done British shows
Speaker 1: on British budgets where it's like hard to get a
Speaker 1: bottle of milk, where you're just like, can we get
Speaker 1: we just need a bottle of milk for this scene,
Speaker 1: and that takes four to five days, and then eventually
Speaker 1: someone brings you a small cart and of orange juice
Speaker 1: and you go, I know, sorry, it was actually just milk.
Speaker 1: We just needed a just a bottle of milk. And
Speaker 1: in the end you you end up having to leave
Speaker 1: the set to get a bottle of milk because no
Speaker 1: one's fully understood it was just a bottle of milk.
Speaker 1: I don't worry about it, and then you're seeing it
Speaker 1: has cocon I did. I did not. At my fitting,
Speaker 1: it's you know, in the USA, the fittings are always
Speaker 1: like water and coffee and snacks and everything. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: And at the fitting the other day, it was it
Speaker 1: was it was a long one because we had a
Speaker 1: whole season to fit close for and I at one
Speaker 1: point I kind of looked around. I didn't see anything,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I hadn't been around the studio yet,
Speaker 1: so I didn't even know where craft services was or
Speaker 1: if if there was a craft services? Is anybody there
Speaker 1: anything I could eat? And the student designer, the department head,
Speaker 1: pulled nuts out of her purse and shared them with me.
Speaker 1: That's a British show. That's a British show right there.
Speaker 1: I kind of love that. Yeah, I've got I've got
Speaker 1: a packet of buttons at the bottom of my car.
Speaker 1: Let me look, oh, dad, Yeah, he's a packet of
Speaker 1: buttons I got at Christmas. You can have that. It
Speaker 1: felt very maternal, it was that's great family already. So
Speaker 1: that's lovely, Chelsea. Fuck, I've forgotten to tell you something. Nuts.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you this. Maybe it's good that
Speaker 1: we're not in the same country. When I tell you this, well,
Speaker 1: say you've died, you're dead. Great, you should have told
Speaker 1: me that. Yeah, I should have a dickening about nuts
Speaker 1: and you just dropped that box. How did you die?
Speaker 1: I died at the ripe old age of one, hundred.
Speaker 1: So Rhet and I are from Phoenix, Arizona, which is
Speaker 1: the desert, and we have scorpions there, and there's always
Speaker 1: this fear of baby scorpions. You grow up being told
Speaker 1: that a baby scorpion can kill you because they have
Speaker 1: so much poison. This makes sense a minute. So I'd
Speaker 1: like you spend your whole life in Phoenix being terrified
Speaker 1: that you'll step on a scorpion at night, or you'll
Speaker 1: sit down on a couch and a baby SCRUBI and
Speaker 1: will sting you and you'll just die, or at least
Speaker 1: I do. So I'd like, at the age of one hundred,
Speaker 1: to celebrated my hundredth birthday, be with the kids, the grandkids,
Speaker 1: the family, and then go for a hike up Camelback Mountain,
Speaker 1: which is this beautiful mountain in the middle of Phoenix,
Speaker 1: and sit down to watch the sunset and get stuff.
Speaker 1: Finally by a baby scorpion. Just I love it. Let go,
Speaker 1: Just let go. Feel like that's a full circle moment
Speaker 1: for a person from Phoenix. It feels like the right
Speaker 1: time everything I wanted to do would be done and
Speaker 1: I'll just watch a gorgeous Arizona sunset as my time ends,
Speaker 1: so you're with your children and grandchildren. No, I think
Speaker 1: I'm alone because it'd be too traumatic for them, which
Speaker 1: is also something you're not supposed to do, ever, is
Speaker 1: hike Countback Mountain a loan. So I think on my
Speaker 1: hundred birthday, I just say, fuck it, fuck the rules.
Speaker 1: I'm going up the mountain by my son, and that's
Speaker 1: where it all ends. So you were, well, at one hundred,
Speaker 1: you just thought I've added enough, I'm going up the mountain. Well,
Speaker 1: I wasn't planning on dying. I was just planning on
Speaker 1: going for a hike. But I just think that's that's
Speaker 1: where and how it should end. I think that's quite nice.
Speaker 1: I mean, on the other hand, you tried to spend
Speaker 1: your family the trauma, but in a way by not
Speaker 1: having them with you, they're going to spend a few
Speaker 1: days looking for you. They didn't know where you are,
Speaker 1: and then when they find you, you've been ravaged by KOEI,
Speaker 1: which is much sort of worse. So just bear that
Speaker 1: in mind. It's true, you don't really have to be
Speaker 1: told with shape I'm in when I'm found, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think someone can side truthfully, we've only been
Speaker 1: out of quarantine for about three days in London. I
Speaker 1: think the way I'm actually going to die is probably
Speaker 1: crossing a street. If I don't die now, just trying
Speaker 1: to get to the other side of our neighborhood. This
Speaker 1: is to happen. Okay, that's good. Do you do you
Speaker 1: worry about death? I didn't used to, but I think
Speaker 1: I bet you get this answer a lot. I having
Speaker 1: a kid changed that. I was such a almost even
Speaker 1: a bit of a thrill seeker, not in an extreme way,
Speaker 1: but loved to do all kinds of things. Did you
Speaker 1: guys have the show Fear Factor? Did Fear Factor ever air? Here?
Speaker 1: I know what it is? Yeah, when people do crazy
Speaker 1: shit like I did that show when I was like
Speaker 1: twenty and won it with Yeah, it was like, loved
Speaker 1: to do stuff like crazy things like that. What did
Speaker 1: you do on Fear Factor? Wait? Listen, this is going
Speaker 1: to earned this whole interview. Um, we did cool stuff,
Speaker 1: like we crashed cars and the first time it's really
Speaker 1: hard to describe, but it was a big height challenge
Speaker 1: in downtown LA and then and then the second day
Speaker 1: was the eating day and I ate leeches, which is
Speaker 1: just such an awful that's an awful thing to think about,
Speaker 1: but it is what happened. You had to bite them.
Speaker 1: We just swallowed them like oysters. No, you had to.
Speaker 1: I had to kill them in my mouth or they
Speaker 1: would just bite me. So it was it was a great,
Speaker 1: wonderful family memory for my parents and everyone who knew me.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible thing, but we won, and we wanted.
Speaker 1: He got to pay off our student loans and I
Speaker 1: think I produced a couple of plays, and so it
Speaker 1: was very It was a great It was a great experience.
Speaker 1: But I used to do crazy shit like that, and
Speaker 1: then having a kid just completely changes your concept of mortality,
Speaker 1: or at least it did for me. And my father
Speaker 1: also died about three months before my son was born,
Speaker 1: so it was like my whole idea of mortality was
Speaker 1: just completely upended in a really short span of time.
Speaker 1: So now I do think about it a lot more
Speaker 1: and have, you know, worry about it sometimes in a
Speaker 1: way that I didn't used to. And there, what do
Speaker 1: you think it happens when you die? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'd love to believe, especially since I've lost my dad,
Speaker 1: I'd love to believe that that you end up somewhere.
Speaker 1: I still feel I don't know. I still feel like
Speaker 1: my dad can see what's going on and can can
Speaker 1: see my son and our lives evolving. And I completely
Speaker 1: understand that there's no logical foundation for that, and it's
Speaker 1: there's no evidence of that, but it's it's very comforting
Speaker 1: to think and to hope for when you've lost those
Speaker 1: family members. Yeah, well I got good news. There is
Speaker 1: an afterlife. It's really nice. It's called Heaven, and yeah,
Speaker 1: I came out with it, thank you. And it's filled
Speaker 1: with all your favorite things. What's your favorite thing? Oh,
Speaker 1: just my family. Let's be really cheesy. Okay, Well, it's
Speaker 1: got all your family in, including the second cousin you
Speaker 1: found annoying, all of the they're all They're every single
Speaker 1: but that's fine, and everyone's very excited to see you
Speaker 1: and they want to talk about your life, but they
Speaker 1: want to talk about your life through film. And the
Speaker 1: first thing they ask is, what is the first film
Speaker 1: you remember seeing? Chelsea Crisp. This cannot be the first
Speaker 1: movie I actually saw, but the first one I remember
Speaker 1: watching was Flashdance. How why were you watching Flashdance very young?
Speaker 1: I mean five or six? Because I definitely saw a
Speaker 1: little Mermaid before because it was there's this story in
Speaker 1: my family where that was my favorite movie for a
Speaker 1: long time. I sang all the songs HI like got
Speaker 1: in trouble the times I got in trouble in schools.
Speaker 1: Because I told everybody at Show and Tell that I
Speaker 1: did the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. I
Speaker 1: think I'm trying to work out the difference between acting
Speaker 1: in line with that. So that was definitely my favorite movie.
Speaker 1: At at a family reunion once I asked my mom
Speaker 1: if I could do a scene from my favorite movie,
Speaker 1: which was The Little Mermaid. So she said, of course.
Speaker 1: Gathered in my grandmother's backyard, but I had recently seen Flashdance,
Speaker 1: which was now my favorite movie, and I pulled out
Speaker 1: a folding chair and a glass of water. I did,
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, and I did, like, probably not all
Speaker 1: of it. I'm sure I was stopped like some silly
Speaker 1: dance on a chair where I poured a glass of
Speaker 1: water on myself. You are a real life little Sunshine. Yeah, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was a very awkward kid with incredible I would
Speaker 1: love to know how how far into it you got
Speaker 1: before they realized what you were doing, and they were
Speaker 1: like this the best one. I'll ask my sister. Because
Speaker 1: she's a few years older, she probably remembered more of
Speaker 1: it than I do. I mostly know of it through
Speaker 1: the story. Now I don't really remember it happening. But
Speaker 1: it's great, right, proud moment for my parents, I'm sure.
Speaker 1: But so you so from from Little Mermaid Amos? I
Speaker 1: want to I want to act. I just want to
Speaker 1: be part of this. No, I don't think I really.
Speaker 1: I mean I always loved singing and acting, but I
Speaker 1: didn't really start to want to do it until high school.
Speaker 1: I think in high school I started doing theater and
Speaker 1: taking it very seriously, too seriously, and then from then
Speaker 1: on and say, have you got one sister? You just
Speaker 1: is just the two of you? Yeah, how much old?
Speaker 1: Three years? Okay, that's nice. Yeah, riddle me this. What
Speaker 1: is the film that made you cry the most? Jelsea Crisp,
Speaker 1: Are you a cry? Yes? I'm a crier? And twenty
Speaker 1: one Grahams just sprooyed me. I've never seen it again.
Speaker 1: I don't wish to. I was absolute emotional torture, beautifully written, performed, directed,
Speaker 1: but just just too painful. It was just too painful
Speaker 1: of a film, and I didn't have when I saw it,
Speaker 1: I would have been I don't know, somewhere in my
Speaker 1: early twenties and didn't have a family, didn't have a
Speaker 1: husband or kids or anything. But I just thought the
Speaker 1: loss that she went through was too much to watch,
Speaker 1: too much to think about, too much to even go
Speaker 1: anywhere near. So yeah, I remember that movie destroying me.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever told this story on
Speaker 1: the podcast right, but in a reto, I saw Amorris Plaios,
Speaker 1: which he produced, I saw twenty one Grahams, and then
Speaker 1: I saw Babel or Babel. I don't know how you
Speaker 1: pronounced that. All three I would describe as incredibly depressing.
Speaker 1: And then I went to the London Film Festival to
Speaker 1: see his new film called Beautiful, and he came out
Speaker 1: to introduce the film and he said before I didn't
Speaker 1: know what the film was about, and he said, I
Speaker 1: wanted to try something different with this film. I wanted
Speaker 1: to make a tragedy. And I genuinely wanted to put
Speaker 1: my hand up and go, what a funk would a
Speaker 1: last three comedies? What are you talking about? It wasn't it?
Speaker 1: He wasn't joking. No, he wasn't joking. It was very sincere.
Speaker 1: And then I watched Beautiful and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was more depressive than the other three. And they
Speaker 1: were fucking depressing. It was so mad. Have you not
Speaker 1: seen your other films? What do you mean, oh man,
Speaker 1: I mean there is a there is a time and
Speaker 1: a place for those films. Are all beautiful films, but
Speaker 1: just they are their torture. I mean they are emotional torture.
Speaker 1: What is the film that scared you the most? Do
Speaker 1: you like being scared as a thrill seeker? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess I must have a bit when
Speaker 1: I was younger, but I'm very jump scares. I'm so
Speaker 1: susceptible to they definitely get me like crazy. Um So,
Speaker 1: I don't really seek out horror films. But in fact,
Speaker 1: before I knew, before I met my husband, when Zombieland
Speaker 1: came out, I remember almost leaving the theater during the
Speaker 1: opening credit sequence because it was so intense and I
Speaker 1: just thought, I think I could be a full movie.
Speaker 1: That's very sweet. I like that, which bankness. I stuck
Speaker 1: with it, so at least I've seen it by the
Speaker 1: time I met him. Uh yeah, I as a child
Speaker 1: or as an adult? What do you think is a
Speaker 1: better answer, because they're two different answers. I know what
Speaker 1: scared me the most as a kid and what stuck
Speaker 1: with me, but also a different movie scared the crap
Speaker 1: out of me. I'd like to I'd like to hear
Speaker 1: bife and then I'll pick your official. Well. Okay, so
Speaker 1: as a child, I saw Gremlins way too young. Um,
Speaker 1: which I want to be clear, I don't think I
Speaker 1: saw Flash Dance or Gremlins in my own home. I
Speaker 1: don't want to make my parents sound like they're really
Speaker 1: this sounds even worse what you were. You were left
Speaker 1: at the cinema your eyes. Yeah, I was free to roam,
Speaker 1: go into whoever sause I wanted to do watch whatever
Speaker 1: was on the TV. Yeah, so none of this is
Speaker 1: their fault. Um. Okay, Yeah, I saw Gremlins way too young,
Speaker 1: and all I remember of it was that I think
Speaker 1: was it water made them multiply? There there was something
Speaker 1: about them eating chicken. I was fucking terrified of Gremlins.
Speaker 1: And I I'm sure, like you, like most and writers,
Speaker 1: had a very overactive imagination. And I would lie awake
Speaker 1: in bed at night certain that gremlins were going to
Speaker 1: come out from underneath my bed and kill me. And
Speaker 1: I yes, yeah, for years. I mean this one on
Speaker 1: for like way longer than it should have. I was
Speaker 1: so scared of them, and I put all my stuffed
Speaker 1: animals on the bed with me as a barrier around me,
Speaker 1: and I had a rule. I had a rule where like,
Speaker 1: as long as they were touching each other, the gremlins
Speaker 1: couldn't get through. I was messed up. I was really
Speaker 1: messed up by that movie. You knows me. I mean
Speaker 1: the only I like your Sacred Circle, but Mugwai Gizmo
Speaker 1: is like a Teddy Bear, so I'd be shooting myself
Speaker 1: in your Sacred Circle. I'd be like, what if I
Speaker 1: get Yeah, these guys were I don't even think I
Speaker 1: saw the full movie, so I don't know. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't like associate them with stuffed animals. They didn't
Speaker 1: seem the same to me, even though of course they're
Speaker 1: actually like they clearly heard stuffed animals. But to me,
Speaker 1: they were a totally different thing. They were demonic. It
Speaker 1: hurt me and my you know, rog puppet or what
Speaker 1: have you was going to save my life, that was
Speaker 1: assisting we came up with it. I'm still here read
Speaker 1: so it worked. I don't if Kermit was You'll protector,
Speaker 1: you would have been fine, would have been great. What's
Speaker 1: the scary one from when you were older? Recently? Free Solo?
Speaker 1: I thought was just two hours of clenching every muscle
Speaker 1: in my body, and I was pinioned. I was pregnant,
Speaker 1: and I remember I feel like I was probably decently
Speaker 1: far along in the see. I remember at one point
Speaker 1: saying to write like, I don't know if this should
Speaker 1: I leave. I don't know if this is healthy. I'm
Speaker 1: literally clenching so much of my body the base probably
Speaker 1: and they're like, what's happening out there? I thought that
Speaker 1: was the scariest and most amazing movie that came out
Speaker 1: that year. That is true. I won't see that the cinema.
Speaker 1: It does make you it's probably the best action film
Speaker 1: ever made, because you are just like fucking hell yeah
Speaker 1: the whole time, and the filmmakers are on the mount.
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're doing it too. He's wild to
Speaker 1: think about. If you know anything about how things are filmed.
Speaker 1: There's also that higher other layer of the film that's
Speaker 1: just you're like, how how did they do this, these
Speaker 1: this whole team amazing. You're right, You're right, it's a
Speaker 1: great answer. I'm going to pick Free Sile because it
Speaker 1: was a good answer. What's the film that people don't like?
Speaker 1: It's not critically acclaimed, but you love it unconditionally. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the real one, I'm just gonna say, and we'll
Speaker 1: have to move on because of the episodes. I've heard
Speaker 1: it's well worn territory. But my honest answer is Greece too.
Speaker 1: But correct, you've you've covered it, and I think you've
Speaker 1: probably increased downloads of Grease to tenfold in the last year.
Speaker 1: And if when I die, people go, what did he achieve?
Speaker 1: If it was will he got more people towards Grease too?
Speaker 1: That was enough? Yeah? I did. I did a service.
Speaker 1: They won't mention the Emmy nomination, it won't even come up.
Speaker 1: But he did get me to what's too he did? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he killed a lot people and he was he was
Speaker 1: a terrible man. But he did get me to watch
Speaker 1: Chaz say, yeah, so it's even we now cool? It
Speaker 1: was Saint Brett and even so, what's your what's your attentive?
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Well, we'll say my second place as
Speaker 1: water World. I think water World, I just I liked
Speaker 1: it when I saw it. I liked it, un ironically.
Speaker 1: And then I worked at Universal Studios for a long
Speaker 1: time and there's a live version of the show there,
Speaker 1: and everybody who works on that show, they're all these
Speaker 1: stunt actors who work in the industry who you cross
Speaker 1: paths with all the time, and that's just like a
Speaker 1: great day job for them there, And it's such a
Speaker 1: fun group of people and a great live show. And
Speaker 1: it still makes me hold a special place in my
Speaker 1: heart for that movie. What did you do at University?
Speaker 1: Two guys? I hosted a live version of Fear Factor.
Speaker 1: After I was on the show, they hired me to
Speaker 1: host like a like a live in the park where
Speaker 1: six people would compete episode like show to show six
Speaker 1: from the audience. Yeah, amazing. And what did they have
Speaker 1: to do? What was the challenge in ours they did?
Speaker 1: There was one eating round they did, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: it's been so long now. There was one with electricity
Speaker 1: they had to like peddle this thing where they were
Speaker 1: getting shocks. They had to keep going through it. And
Speaker 1: I honestly can't remember what the first oh, the first one.
Speaker 1: They were like way up at the top of the
Speaker 1: stage and they had to hold onto these bars and
Speaker 1: the last person that was left holding them one that stunt,
Speaker 1: they were like worries up. So it was it was
Speaker 1: It was good for for a live show where you're
Speaker 1: pulling six new people and every time I actually did
Speaker 1: a great job with the stunts. That's great, that's a
Speaker 1: cool job. Yeah. I loved it. I loved I did
Speaker 1: that for maybe three years and it was not far
Speaker 1: out of college, and it was such a great job.
Speaker 1: I mean, I worked with the coolest people. It's how
Speaker 1: I first met improvisers and started doing improv, and I
Speaker 1: had health insurance. It was wonderful. I left, Do you
Speaker 1: have any prov? Great? Did you not anymore? I did?
Speaker 1: I did for a long time. I don't. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: there were there were many, but the longest one was
Speaker 1: an all female group called Duchess Riot that we did
Speaker 1: about seven years Riot. Yeah right, yeah, about seven years
Speaker 1: together and and most of that group is still some
Speaker 1: of my best friends. We had and we had an
Speaker 1: awesome run. We had a great time together. At some
Speaker 1: point we'll do improv again, but we just we just
Speaker 1: kind of did it, you know, you do. You do
Speaker 1: it for so long and then you start to I
Speaker 1: don't know, you get married and you have kids and
Speaker 1: you get old. No, no, you're like, don't tell me.
Speaker 1: That's how it ends. Just genuinely sent into a spiral. No, you,
Speaker 1: it's truly like it just evolved into our friendship and
Speaker 1: now it's just our day to day lives and we
Speaker 1: still have just as much fun together. That just don't
Speaker 1: have to, you know, drive all over the city and
Speaker 1: go to all the comedy festivals all that stuff anymore.
Speaker 1: What's the film that you used to love? He loved it,
Speaker 1: but you've watched it recently and you've gone on, Now,
Speaker 1: I don't like this anymore. This also might be well
Speaker 1: worn territory. I'm not sure, but well, I was gonna
Speaker 1: stay in Grease. But it's not that I don't like
Speaker 1: it anymore. It's just that it doesn't It doesn't hold
Speaker 1: up as what it used to mean to me as
Speaker 1: a teenager. I mean, it seems like this wonderful love story,
Speaker 1: and then upon you know, you view it through adult
Speaker 1: eyes and you be by today's standards, and there's like
Speaker 1: nothing about the messaging of that movie that's healthy are good,
Speaker 1: so allbvious stuff that you could see even then some
Speaker 1: of the awful lyrics and then but that are just
Speaker 1: so date rapium. Then there's but then then there's just
Speaker 1: the way the whole movie ends, that the whole moral
Speaker 1: of oh, I'll change for her, and she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: and I'll change for him, And they both come to
Speaker 1: this place where they're like, I'll just completely alter my
Speaker 1: entire personality and everything about me will change and that'll
Speaker 1: be good for you. And then for whatever the reason,
Speaker 1: they're like, oh no, the girl, you'll stay it, you'll
Speaker 1: keep it. You keeping look back to the way a
Speaker 1: must before. Yeah, never discus us. They don't discussion. It's
Speaker 1: just understood. And then all right, you you changed for me,
Speaker 1: then we'll stick with that, and then we'll get in
Speaker 1: my car that flies. By the way, I didn't mention
Speaker 1: what we'll fly on off. We didn't mention the car
Speaker 1: flies the end. Yeah, and by today's standards, the flying
Speaker 1: car is the least problematic part of the ending. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the only part that you go, well, I guess
Speaker 1: they did flag this up a bit. They did. There
Speaker 1: was a whole scene where they were like doing things
Speaker 1: to the car. We didn't know what they were doing,
Speaker 1: but it turns out they were adding wings and yeah,
Speaker 1: a roocket. They were just adding that whole flight kid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I guess, yeah, that's fine. No probs with the
Speaker 1: flying car. You got to get over that bread. It's
Speaker 1: just the prog Yeah, that doesn't hold up. Well, I
Speaker 1: mean it's still it's like a you know, it's just
Speaker 1: a movie that I love so much as a kid.
Speaker 1: It's one of the first musicals I ever did. Sandy,
Speaker 1: my first first league. So fun. Yeah, you're a Sandy Sandy.
Speaker 1: It was great, great, So it's kind of a special
Speaker 1: place in my heart. But yeah, it doesn't it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: That's a story. Did you fall in love with your
Speaker 1: Danny when you did it? No? No, he was a
Speaker 1: good friend of mine. M Okay, we did not, but
Speaker 1: we had a really good time. What is the film
Speaker 1: that means the most to you? Not necessarily the film
Speaker 1: itself is any good, but because the experience you had
Speaker 1: around seeing the film, that will always make it special. Chelsea,
Speaker 1: I feel confident that this hasn't been an answer to
Speaker 1: this question. It's g I Joe retaliation. It's never come up,
Speaker 1: and it's about time. It did. Yeah, it did. It's here,
Speaker 1: Thank you. It was. It was the first movie that
Speaker 1: my husband wrote that came out after I met him
Speaker 1: and we were dating, and it was the first time
Speaker 1: I went to It was the first time sort of
Speaker 1: seeing behind seeing everything that goes on behind the scenes
Speaker 1: to get a movie made. I didn't know him when
Speaker 1: they were making it, when they were shooting it, but
Speaker 1: I met him when it was in post production, and
Speaker 1: I saw just how much work went into you know,
Speaker 1: I was mostly working in TV and I grew up
Speaker 1: doing theater and I hadn't done a lot of film,
Speaker 1: So I got to see that behind the scenes of
Speaker 1: how that was working, how hard they worked on it,
Speaker 1: and and then go to the premiere. I think it
Speaker 1: was the first time I went to a Hollywood premiere
Speaker 1: like with somebody that was a part of the movie,
Speaker 1: and watched him walk the red carpet with his partner Paul,
Speaker 1: and on the red carpet it's like, you know, Pruce
Speaker 1: Willis is coming up to introduce himself. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing was just so cool, and at the center of
Speaker 1: it was for me anyway, in my experience, at the
Speaker 1: center of it was Rhett who is this wildly unpretentious,
Speaker 1: down to earth sweetheart of a guy and still experiences
Speaker 1: those things in such an unjaded way, and it is
Speaker 1: still just like a kid living out his dream. And
Speaker 1: also his whole family was there, his parents, his brother,
Speaker 1: and some of his family friends, and it was my
Speaker 1: first time going to a big event with them, so
Speaker 1: also seeing it through their eyes while they were watching
Speaker 1: their son, their brother or the person that they loved.
Speaker 1: And now they're all my family, and and you know,
Speaker 1: Rhett doesn't like to sit still, so we've gotten to
Speaker 1: do more of those things together. Had a good run,
Speaker 1: but it was the first one and it was so
Speaker 1: special for that. And now also I usually see the
Speaker 1: cuts as they go along, but that one I just
Speaker 1: saw for the first time in the theater and I
Speaker 1: got to hear it along with the audience. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that one's that one's really special for me. That is
Speaker 1: in my top five answers to that question of Auto.
Speaker 1: It's really really, really lovely. I like that a lot. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's great, congratulations. Twenty points. What's the film that you
Speaker 1: might relate to? Flash Dances It Flash? Yes, it's my
Speaker 1: life story just laid up. I think I did go
Speaker 1: through that welding phase. I think it has. This was
Speaker 1: really hard for me, but I'm going to go I
Speaker 1: don't think twice. Mike Robiglia's movie about improv Killer and
Speaker 1: sort of live comedy in general, I think he did
Speaker 1: about the best job I've ever seen anyone do of
Speaker 1: capturing live comedy. And he just wrote, cast, and edited
Speaker 1: and directed the crap out of that movie, and I
Speaker 1: just I loved it. It was he finally did it.
Speaker 1: It's something everybody I think tried on film, and he
Speaker 1: just he really did it in such a beautiful Well
Speaker 1: I've talked about this one was before a very long
Speaker 1: time ago. What do you think his secret? The secret too?
Speaker 1: It is because I agree it's almost impossible to capture
Speaker 1: live comedy on film, but he did seem to do it.
Speaker 1: And like, what do you think was the difference between
Speaker 1: what he did and what everyone else has tried. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I don't know how much of
Speaker 1: what they did there were the shows within the show.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much that actually was improvised. I
Speaker 1: don't know how much they worked together as a team.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously some of them knew each other, but
Speaker 1: I don't think all of them had done comedy together before. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think Gillian Jacobs has said she'd never done
Speaker 1: improv before the film. That floors me. I mean that
Speaker 1: really me. I mean that's such a testament to the
Speaker 1: performance that she gave. She was so great in it,
Speaker 1: and they depicted her as one of the best improvisers
Speaker 1: in the group, so well done that you just believed
Speaker 1: it so then that that might go. I thought that
Speaker 1: probably a lot of the improv was life, but maybe
Speaker 1: that's not it was. I believe it was. I believe
Speaker 1: it was real. But still even capturing real comedy, this
Speaker 1: sort of jeopardy of it is hard to catch it,
Speaker 1: but it felt like it had it. Especially improv, I
Speaker 1: think it is so hard. I mean, I thought one
Speaker 1: of the things they did beautifully, he did beautifully was
Speaker 1: making sure that all their personalities on and off stage.
Speaker 1: I don't do you do improv or do do mostly
Speaker 1: stand up? I've done a bit. I've done a bit,
Speaker 1: so you know, you know how it is with your group.
Speaker 1: The better you get to know each other, the better,
Speaker 1: the better everything is on stage, and you start to
Speaker 1: really know what your team members are good at and
Speaker 1: what they struggle at and figure out where you compliment
Speaker 1: each other and how you set each other up. And
Speaker 1: I thought he just did such a good job of
Speaker 1: showing what was going on off stage and how that
Speaker 1: fed into what was happening on stage, not you know,
Speaker 1: not even in the obvious phase where they were going
Speaker 1: through turmoil and then they'd have a bad show, but
Speaker 1: seeing even some of the subtle things. My favorite moment
Speaker 1: in the movie, and I remember, I remember Rhet just
Speaker 1: totally didn't get this moment at all, um because he's
Speaker 1: a writer and not not a live performer. There's a
Speaker 1: moment in the car where one of the characters fathers
Speaker 1: has died and they're like driving away, I don't think,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, and they make a joke about
Speaker 1: the dad dying and Rhett was like shattered by that,
Speaker 1: and he was like, I didn't. I just didn't get
Speaker 1: that at all. And I don't that just didn't feel.
Speaker 1: I had a hard time coming back from that, like
Speaker 1: were they bad people? And I was like, oh, do
Speaker 1: you do you know who you're married to? M And
Speaker 1: then you know he I think he my whole family,
Speaker 1: My family's like that. My friends are like that, not
Speaker 1: just my friends were actors, but even my childhood friends
Speaker 1: who are not performers at all, there's everyone has that
Speaker 1: style of humor, that sense of humor, and um so,
Speaker 1: I just thought he got that so beautifully in this
Speaker 1: and on stage. And I don't know what. I'd love
Speaker 1: to hear him talk about it. I've never heard him, yeah,
Speaker 1: speak about it, because obviously he put so much thought
Speaker 1: and effort into it, and it really worked. It's a
Speaker 1: brutal film, that brutal, heartbreaking. It's brilliant. You should watch it.
Speaker 1: Great answer what is objectively the greatest filmable time? Also
Speaker 1: such a hard question. I think I'm gonna land at
Speaker 1: Wizard of Oz. Okay, That's where I'm gonna go. I'm
Speaker 1: glad to hear it. I love the moral of that
Speaker 1: there's no place like Home story. I love the idea
Speaker 1: of leaving where you grew up and sort of taking
Speaker 1: it for granted. It's and you know, I think we
Speaker 1: all kind of do that, and going out into the
Speaker 1: world and finding your way through it, and finding your
Speaker 1: people and the people who aren't your people, and realizing
Speaker 1: that everything you're looking for was sort of back in Kansas.
Speaker 1: I just think it's such a beautiful moral and the
Speaker 1: Wizard is a little man behind the curtain is incredibly profound.
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah, but it is true, it's true of
Speaker 1: all the big scary things is actually it's just a
Speaker 1: little man inside. Yeah, exactly. Everything that we've built up
Speaker 1: in our heads just being some huge and intimidating is
Speaker 1: actually just somebody else, somebody else with our own insecurities
Speaker 1: and fears. And yeah, I just I think I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it in a long time, so I couldn't put
Speaker 1: together a you know, brilliant dissection of why I think
Speaker 1: it's the movie. But I love that it appeals to
Speaker 1: all ages too. I sort of feel like for it
Speaker 1: to be the greatest movie of all time, it shouldn't
Speaker 1: just be something like Godfather that only works if you're
Speaker 1: of a certain age. And also, I don't know, to me,
Speaker 1: it's like, the greatest movie of all time should leave
Speaker 1: you feeling good. You should feel good when it's over,
Speaker 1: You should walk out back into your life feeling some appreciation.
Speaker 1: And that film does that for me. Fucking great answer,
Speaker 1: great reasons five points party five great, Yeah, great, better
Speaker 1: than that the ads you got twenty points where that
Speaker 1: was phenomenal answer here we got Chelsea Chris, here we go.
Speaker 1: I'll get through this bit. I suppose what's the sexiest
Speaker 1: film you've ever seen? Okay, so I think it has
Speaker 1: to be bos Learman's Romeo and Juliet with Claire Danes, right,
Speaker 1: because I was trying to think, like, it's got to
Speaker 1: be your first really sexy film that you see, right,
Speaker 1: because that's introducing you to you know, you're seeing for
Speaker 1: the first time, like visuals of what it's like for
Speaker 1: people to have sex and be attracted to each other.
Speaker 1: And your little, you know, teen or preteen brain is
Speaker 1: like putting all those pieces together. And that would have
Speaker 1: been that movie for me. And that was like Leo
Speaker 1: in his nineties prime Janes, who was just like pitch
Speaker 1: perfect in everything, and I remember them looking at each
Speaker 1: other through the fish tank, great song, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: just remember all the build up to it being so sexy,
Speaker 1: and I don't. I don't. It's not like I remember
Speaker 1: there being these really hot and heavy sex scenes, but
Speaker 1: just there. I feel like there was a scene where
Speaker 1: they're under the sheets and there's like light outside of
Speaker 1: the beets, and it was just very like, you know,
Speaker 1: hot but romantic, and yeah, that's that's the one that
Speaker 1: comes to mind. The fish tank scene. Boy, that's clever.
Speaker 1: That is a clever way to shoot that feeling. It's
Speaker 1: you're right, that is a very sexy, but it's also
Speaker 1: kind of it is like a teenage dream of what
Speaker 1: it's like. It's very, very pretty and kind of bright
Speaker 1: and fear. It's great. Yeah, I don't know why. That's
Speaker 1: that's the one that came to me. And I I
Speaker 1: love Bosler and I think he's Yeah, it's a great writer.
Speaker 1: There's a subcategory to this question, got to do it?
Speaker 1: Traveling bone is worrying? Why dones? I think this must
Speaker 1: the film fans arousing. You weren't sure you should? I hope.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't that. I wasn't sure. I definitely
Speaker 1: knew it was. It didn't have this purpose, and I
Speaker 1: hope this is net so nobody who's given. But for
Speaker 1: me it was Jurassic Park also still like teen preteen.
Speaker 1: And I just thought Jeff Goldbloom. Nothing I'm about to
Speaker 1: say it's going to make sense. I just thought Jack
Speaker 1: Goldlin was so sexy in those movies. Yes, yes he is.
Speaker 1: Just thought he was great. I love a smart ass
Speaker 1: and I loved those movies, like I loved I loved
Speaker 1: him in those movies. Yeah, I just thought, yeah, like
Speaker 1: if that was on, I was gonna watch it with
Speaker 1: wrapt attention. Your family like, Oh, it's scary, isn't it?
Speaker 1: And you were like, eh, oh yeah, no, it's really scary.
Speaker 1: What dinosaurs? Ye? Can we rewind this bit? What the
Speaker 1: tookie bits? I love the talkie bits? You fast forward
Speaker 1: all the dinosaurt bits? Are you scared? Yeah, I'm really
Speaker 1: scared of the dinosaurs good enough to want to watch
Speaker 1: this alone in my room. Yeah, I'd have to watch
Speaker 1: it again to know what what specifically it was, but
Speaker 1: I know that I just thought it was the sexiest
Speaker 1: thing on earth. I mean, he is sexy. It's the glasses,
Speaker 1: it's the it's the lever, it's the hairy chest, got
Speaker 1: he's got the lot. I also think, like Jeff Goldblum
Speaker 1: now is very and maybe he always was. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know him outside of you know him as
Speaker 1: an actor, Like he's so cool, he's such a cool
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't sound crazy. I don't feel like, by
Speaker 1: today's standards, you could totally see somebody being attracted to
Speaker 1: Jeff Goldblum, like, he's great taste. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he was like nerdy and intellectual
Speaker 1: with playing the smart ass and like that's why it
Speaker 1: was funny at the time. I'm sure it was always
Speaker 1: super cool. It's gonna be offended by this. He's like,
Speaker 1: why the fun wouldn't you be attracted to me? It's
Speaker 1: kind of Hollywood. Yeah, a great answer. What is the
Speaker 1: film that you could or have? What's the most Iver
Speaker 1: and Diver Again, I think it's any Christopher Guest movie.
Speaker 1: And if I had to say that I seen the most,
Speaker 1: it would it's probably Waiting for Government. It's not that
Speaker 1: it's it's the best of them. I don't, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I would not be able to differentiate between best and show,
Speaker 1: Spinal Tap and Waiting for Government in terms of best.
Speaker 1: But I think I've seen the most and that's probably
Speaker 1: the one you relate to the most, is it? Yeah, definitely,
Speaker 1: I would have seen it first. I'm sure it's the
Speaker 1: one I would have that would have been my introduction
Speaker 1: to him as a filmmaker, rather than Spinal Tap. I
Speaker 1: think I saw a spinal Tap second. But I just
Speaker 1: think you know when you see somebody doing what he
Speaker 1: does and who's like just taken a genre and perfected it.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's something You're going to see something
Speaker 1: different every time. Every time you watch these movies, you'll
Speaker 1: see something new, or I do. Can we have a
Speaker 1: little data quickly and tell me about these plays that
Speaker 1: you produced? Did you write? Did you like just put
Speaker 1: on plays yourself when you were at university? Yes, one
Speaker 1: was a one I bought the rights to. It was
Speaker 1: There's a Shanley play Psychopath of Sexualism? And then when
Speaker 1: I wrote ended with a few friends. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: was really bad. No, but everybody told us it was good.
Speaker 1: But it probably was. I was like nineteen or twenty,
Speaker 1: so it was probably really rough stuff that all of
Speaker 1: our friends and family sat through that too, That was rough.
Speaker 1: That was rough stuff. Oh boy, I hope she gets
Speaker 1: in therapy. Do you still write? Do you write now? Um?
Speaker 1: I don't write right now. I was working on something
Speaker 1: recently with one of the writers from Fresh off the Boat. Um.
Speaker 1: We had a pilot idea that we were working on.
Speaker 1: But crazily enough, it covers a lot of the territory
Speaker 1: that call my Agent covers really, so at the moment.
Speaker 1: We're just gonna sit that out for a little while.
Speaker 1: It was it was industry specific, not set in an agency,
Speaker 1: but just too too much overlap, right, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 1: Not not the way you do and not the way
Speaker 1: HTT does. Um, but I I used to Yeah, And
Speaker 1: do you sh do you shy rhet? Do you work?
Speaker 1: Does he look IV stuff? Do you look I his stuff? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do. I I'll look over his stuff. It certainly
Speaker 1: more that direction, because he just writes so so much
Speaker 1: more than I do. Yeah, and they he and his
Speaker 1: partner always like someone to read through the drafts before
Speaker 1: they're turning them in and just catch logic issues or
Speaker 1: maybe character notes as an actor like kind of looking
Speaker 1: at things through that lens. So yeah, that's great, Thank
Speaker 1: you for answering that question. Yeah, what is I don't
Speaker 1: like to be negative? You don't know like to be negative?
Speaker 1: What's the blest film you've ever seen? So this has
Speaker 1: to have come up before, I guess, I would guess.
Speaker 1: And it makes me feel bad because it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we get it, we know, but the room really is
Speaker 1: a special kind of strange for the filming process, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's so it just went into this place where
Speaker 1: it's like so bad it's good and it has this
Speaker 1: whole other life. There was a whole other life through
Speaker 1: the like the screenings at Westwood, which I went to
Speaker 1: one of those. Rhete took me to one of those,
Speaker 1: and it's the guy Tommy was noways there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's always there. And that whole experience was surreal because
Speaker 1: then you're in. Then it's like a live experience where
Speaker 1: there are all these visual cues and things. Have you
Speaker 1: been to that? Have you gone to that? No, I've
Speaker 1: seen the film, but I've not been to one of
Speaker 1: the events, but I know what happens, like, yeah, the
Speaker 1: audience has all these cues and these things that they
Speaker 1: do during the movie that they respond to. And weirdly,
Speaker 1: when we saw it, we looked up the row from
Speaker 1: us and James Franco was at our screening right, and
Speaker 1: then it turned out that he was starting the Disaster Artist.
Speaker 1: So now it's had that whole life where a movie
Speaker 1: made about the making of the movie. I guess the
Speaker 1: reason it feels okay to name that one is because
Speaker 1: everybody's aware. And then it also went on to become
Speaker 1: this cult classic in its own way, and find its
Speaker 1: audience because it's so it's so hard to make a movie.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to make a movie. It's it's just
Speaker 1: as hard to make a bad one as it is
Speaker 1: to make a good one. Yeah. Yeah, you put it's
Speaker 1: just as much work into it and saw and there's
Speaker 1: something special about the room and that you couldn't You
Speaker 1: couldn't fake it. You couldn't like, go go make a
Speaker 1: bad movie as a joke. You couldn't make the room.
Speaker 1: It's too It's really special. It's very unique. There's some
Speaker 1: earnestness to everybody who's there. You know, they really they're
Speaker 1: really trying to make a good movie. They're they're all
Speaker 1: excited to be there. And I mean I wish I
Speaker 1: wish there was a documentary at the time about because
Speaker 1: it would have been just to see see them talking
Speaker 1: about it and talk about their scenes on set, and
Speaker 1: I mean that would have been amazinging. But I think
Speaker 1: probably most of the cast has done that by now. Yeah, probably, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they at least they've all done well out of it
Speaker 1: in a way. Yeah, you're in comedy, you're very funny.
Speaker 1: What's the film that made you laugh the most? I
Speaker 1: think line for line it's going to be Anchor Man.
Speaker 1: Right individual scene, it would have to be Team America
Speaker 1: because the sex scene in Teen America is fucking genius
Speaker 1: on a level that I don't think I've ever laughed
Speaker 1: that hard continuously ever in my life. But I think
Speaker 1: line for line, i'd have to go Anchor Man. I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the most quotable, delightful, hilarious, silly,
Speaker 1: just just unashamedly silly movies. I love it. You can
Speaker 1: have it. You can have it. Chelsea Chris. I've realized
Speaker 1: now that you are CC your husbands are You're like
