Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that happens at parties too. You've finally gotten out of a conversation and you're like, oh, well, I guess I should check on the sliders over here. And then you meet again at the sliders and you're like, oh my God. I just tried to walk away from you.

I just did a little part in a movie with Will Ferrell that is coming out, I think, in January. And we were filming in Atlanta, and we went to the bar at the hotel. What? And there was, like, no one in there when we got there. Maybe, like, two people. And then all of a sudden, within 30 minutes, there were, like, 50 people staring at Will. Sure. He's a very popular guy.

But it was so funny because he was like, once dinner was finished, he's like, how am I going to get out of here? Because all these people were just like staring at him. So he picks up his phone. He goes, what's that? What happened to your cat? Oh, no. I got to take this. He walks out going, your cat. Oh, my God. And so all these people were like, but he's like, I can't. I'm on the phone.

I was like, oh, that was a good one.

Because Will's friend is trans, and so the journey was kind of relearning who my friend is as a trans person and understanding the world and just sort of reconnecting as friends and trying to learn and ask questions.

And Will Ferrell said... So Will, he did a bit where he dressed as Sherlock Holmes. That was it. Thinking it would be funny in the restaurant. And they sat them in a table in the middle of everyone and the hate coming their way was palpable.

And Will, you could see him in this crazy costume realizing the reality of the situation and that being silly and funny wasn't

I do too. I needed an example.

It's hard to pull bad ones.

I lost a lot of credibility. I love Will Ferrell, but it's just not.

He's gotta be so, I mean, he's gotta be one of the most recognizable people, right?

Yeah, he's so nice.

Yeah, I was only there for a few days. It's him and Reese Witherspoon.

Yeah, we got to improvise quite a bit. I'm only in like two scenes, I think, and probably a lot of that is on the cutting room floor. But it was just so cool to sit there and bounce stuff off of him. Sure.

Yeah, do it as written first, and then just kind of go nuts a couple takes. That's got to be a dream to him. But, you know, he plays those very serious characters, so you have to try not to break, because he's just looking at you, like, very intensely. But he's so fun and cool, and I was like...

coming from the gym when he was going to set and he rolled his window down and stuck his head out the window and was like, I'll see you later. He's just like... That's great. There's always bits, you know. I mean, this is one of the funniest scenes of all time.

Oh, is that eastbound and down? Yeah. Yeah. I know I can.

Your plums. Whoa.
