What is the story behind Lake Bell's unique name?
Then there's Lake Superior. I always would retort with that when people threw me a titty caca or an eerie. Tell us a little bit what it was like to work with Dana Carvey. You're being f***ed by a thorn, you know, and you're like, okay, you know, and you're just like, what? Okay, I'll add some spice to that. Give us a couple different versions of that.
How did Lake Bell transition into voice acting?
So Lake Bell, the lovely and talented Lake Bell, who starring right now in The Chair Company with Tim Robinson, which is just an absurd, funny, crazy. Brilliantly off-kilter, abstract. Right up my alley, right up my alley. Yeah. and uh yeah we we talk about her name i mean it it is her name it is kind of the coolest name you could have in show business when it's not made up like bell you definitely need a hooky name that is a great short yeah just four letters four letters there's just something it's like a movie jury duty you know just get like boom boom and it helps uh she's also been in it's complicated she's in so many movies she's sort of woven in where you just go oh right she was in that one she was no strings attached there's old movies new movies um tv shows and director oh she was in secret life pets with moi and uh we talk all about that
and she's uh what's interesting about her i think is um she's got a whole lane of getting hired to do things and then she's just producing and or directing constantly and that's uh by design and very smart then you can kind of show business is less emotionally violent when you just like doing your own work at the same time yeah any any time it's just waiting for the phone to ring is tough that's the hardest part about show business um Anyway, here she is, a lovely person, Lake Bell. Bell rang soon. Is that her? Yeah, it's her. I don't have any idea what she looks like. Is that her? She looks like, well, it looks almost like an AI almost. And I do what I can. I can't believe this. I'm just so glad that this is working.
I am too. It's amazing. I know. As soon as I heard. Here, let me put this here. I feel like there might be a compliment coming, so keep going. Oh, hmm. Wait, is this? Do I need to have these on? Yes, engineer. I think so. I know that you hate it. Everyone hates it, but I think it helps. It doesn't look cute. We had this hockey player on and he didn't have him and we couldn't talk over him because everything stopped. We have to wait for someone to talk to him, which is what you should do.
What insights does Lake Bell share about award shows?
The hockey player's name was Wayne Gretzky. All right. I didn't even say that. I'm not trying to flex. I don't want to get hit. I don't want to flex. I don't want to get handsy. I don't want to have these phrases exist. The latest one is slop. I hear it a lot. And it's slop. Slop means just massive content that is just slop. It's just people love to watch slop. You know, seven is done. Did you know? Did you hear about that? Who's done six, seven? No, no, no. You know, it's done. Oh, you didn't even were you not aware of six, seven? I was, but I'm glad it's over. I heard the two numbers, but what was it about again? Gina's heard of the two numbers. I heard the two. She's heard of six and seven. No, I remember something like six, seven was a code or something.
What was it? It was like a meme or something, and then somebody said it at a kind of sporting event of some sort because I also ask that question to my children, and I have teeny tiny children that are right in the six, seven. Do they know about it? I hear about it all the damn time.
What is Lake Bell's latest project, The Chair Company, about?
It was a hot Christmas gift was a t-shirt that said 6-7. Oh, no, no, no. But apparently the adult. Thank God it's over. It's over, right? It's over. Oh, I was going to say, because you're also a director. Wait a minute, she's an author? People who don't know Lake Bell, because I did kind of look you up a little bit, you know, preparation. Author, writer, director, actor, and voice actor. Am I missing anything? I mean, I'm a mother, which is my biggest job of all. Well, like, as a director, is this too wide on me? I feel like it's showing too much of my whole body. I do feel that we're getting a lot of the wires in the backdrop.
