Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Expert. I'm Dax Shepard. I'm joined by Monica Padman. Hi. Today we have, boy, we were just saying in the fact check, if you would have told me in 95 this day was going to happen, I just wouldn't have believed you.
You would never have believed it.

Just a little bit of merch. Oh, I do love merch. Yeah.
You're a slave to merch.
I really am. I really am.
Where were you coming from?
Pasadena.
Is that where you live?
Yeah. I like Pasadena. That's not too far.
Have you gotten interested in the history of Pasadena since moving there?
There are so many historical, amazing- Estates. Buildings. And Houston's historical. Oh, yeah.
I've never been there. Are you having- What is wrong with you?
Why are you boycotting Houston? I don't eat meat. It's okay. Well, but my husband really wants to go there, so I think maybe- Oh, you gotta go. No. It's okay.
What challenges did Jennie face during her rise to fame?
They have great salads. They have great artichoke dip.
I was just thinking the sushi's great. You wouldn't think it, but the sushi's outrageous.
It's so good. At Houston's?
Yeah.
Yeah. You'll be shocked.
You're giggling. It's counterintuitive.
I mean, I don't eat sushi either, but I'm sure I can find something. You're going to find something. You're going to love it. How strict are you on your vegetarianism? Because I go with two of my friends and one of them's a vegetarian. We would always get the spinach artichoke dip. She could have that. And it's the best thing on the planet. And then one day she came and she said, I think there's chicken stock in this. And then she asked and there was, and now she can't

So stock we don't mess with.
We draw the line. I don't eat hardly anything, you guys.
You know, you're done. You're post eating.
I'm done with it. Yeah.
Like I'm over it.
Yeah. Too much work. A lot of energy. I've never been a foodie, so that's helpful.
Are you vegetarian or vegan? Vegan. Oh my God, all the way.
Yeah.
For how long?
If you're going to do something, do it.
How long have you been doing it?
On and off for years and years. But I went off of it when I had kids. So I was eating for them, eating chicken and stuff.
That was Kristen's first meet. She was pregnant and she called me. I was at a restaurant and she said, order me the bison meatloaf sandwich. I was like, you haven't eaten meat in 32 years. She goes, Delta wants a bison meatloaf sandwich.
You got to give them what they want. Yeah. I wanted chicken McNuggets.
Out of health or concern for animals?
Both. I grew up on a farm in Illinois where my dad would kill our pigs for the dinner table. I just never loved that. But I ate pork chops because I was told to.
