No, but I was like, I'm getting my money's worth, and she's like, I paid for it. No, I'm asleep in this. I'm not taking it off. You're never lending me anything again. You're never doing it. You guys, also, we've never done a show like this before. It's going to give Barbara Walters realness. What man just spoke up? What is...

You guys know, we don't interview. We've never asked a question and listened to the answer. This is going to be so, so, so fun. I hope they remember that they're coming out because they probably left. They could have left.

298.077 - 299.138 Kate Hudson

I don't know how to sit in it.

299.158 - 300.339 Paige DeSorbo

You're perfect. But it's work.

300.359 - 301.86 Kate Hudson

You can stand the whole time if you want. I can.

372.293 - 374.696 Kate Hudson

She was like, let her have a PowerPoint.

0

374.976 - 393.981 Paige DeSorbo

Well, we actually can't remember what's going to happen if we don't have our visuals. We're visual learners. I'm not going to get into how the sausage is made, but we're going to ask you some important questions about the state of our nation. Okay. Okay.

Crocs.

0

523.675 - 544.321 Brenda Song

Here's the thing. I have them for gardening. My partner said he would never wear Crocs, and now he wears them all the time everywhere we go, and I regret it so much. Wait, I'm still not past. That's the gardening part. Yes, I love gardening. Crocs? Appropriate for gardening. And my kids love Crocs, but I personally do not wear Crocs outside the home.

0

544.341 - 559.66 Mindy Kaling

I'm sexist. I think women and children should be able to wear them. Save them. Save them first. I'm telling that. I think when Ike Barinholtz wears Crocs to the writer's room, I'm like, you should care more about what I think of you sexually. Like...

0

559.64 - 566.27 Hannah Berner

No, it's because of the patriarchy. Wait, I need to say that to people more. Like, you should care more about what I think of you sexually.

0

566.37 - 571.498 Mindy Kaling

I love his wife. I love his wife. No men can wear them. I'm sorry.

571.518 - 589.013 Kate Hudson

I think every single one of them should be melted and just put it like something else should be created. They're the worst shoes of all time. Wait, have you ever tried it on, though? I'm not going to say I haven't worn them ever before. But I am not.

589.173 - 598.146 Paige DeSorbo

It's a hard no for me. See, I love Crocs, because they are comfy. However, if you ever walk in an airport with Crocs, you ever, like... No. Everyone's like, no.

598.206 - 599.107 Hannah Berner

No, we haven't.

599.128 - 604.475 Paige DeSorbo

You don't even get stuck, and you could, like, tear an ACL. No, I don't go sport mode. I just got booted off stage.

Chapter 6: How do the guests define success and handle failure?

631.432 - 633.976 Paige DeSorbo

Or do you have something in between? Okay, you didn't have that witch.

0

635.178 - 640.626 Kate Hudson

I have childlike hands. Childlike hands. I have like baby hands. I have baby hands too.

0

641.281 - 651.406 Hannah Berner

But Brenda, look at that rock. Wow. Thank you. That's nice. Brenda can barely hold the microphone. So you would classify yourself as having long fingers.

0

651.566 - 655.717 Kate Hudson

I don't know what I am. You have nice hands, though. You have long fingers.

0

655.997 - 662.997 Brenda Song

Look at your pinky compared to mine. Yeah. Yeah. You have long fingers. I told you. I have nose.

663.919 - 669.252 Mindy Kaling

I have... Oh, you have very long fingers. I have long fingers, but I have like orangutan arms.

669.693 - 669.873

Wait.

669.893 - 686.036 Mindy Kaling

And I'll tell you why I did this. Wait, so do I. We did this... Kate and I did this... this thing to promote Running Point where we, the Dracula song, right? And so Kate was so cool and she walked into frame and she did the first line and I came in and my arms were singing and I was like, my arms look so goddamn long.

686.336 - 695.826 Mindy Kaling

And then like immediately I read the comments where they're like, why are her arms so long? My knuckles were like dragging on the floor. And I thought I looked really cool.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of working in a collaborative environment?

731.263 - 747.968 Brenda Song

I have children. I have a life. Okay. It runs my whole life. It's like I will be just stat reading all day. We already have a rolling TV just for sports. It's a problem. I'm not allowed. A rolling TV? We have a rolling monitor just for sports. Women in STEM.

750.952 - 754.197 Hannah Berner

Wait, like in your house and you roll it around to different rooms?

0

754.217 - 776.19 Brenda Song

Well, because also like when our kids, so we try to limit screens with our kids. So if they want to watch something, they have to share the big TV. And if they're sharing the big TV and a game is on, mom and papa roll out their TV and the kids know that that TV is just for sports. Oh my gosh. And on Sundays, we watch the local game and then we have our Sunday ticket on the rolling TV.

899.424 - 904.901 Mindy Kaling

Everything has to be hemmed in my, it goes nipples, belly button.

904.921 - 911.033 Hannah Berner

Your nipple hits your hip. I just need to say, Mindy has been so page-coded this whole time.

0

911.053 - 933.542 Brenda Song

She's so page-coded. I know, I'm getting jealous. I'm a little page-coded. I'm long-waisted, short-legged. I'm the exact opposite. It's literally waist-feet. You look tall in a zoo. Yeah, so tall. I'm taller than Kate right now, but if we stand... I'm as tall as Kate right now, but if we stand up, I'm like two feet shorter. When you sit, you get tall. I'm so tall right now. Yeah.

0

933.522 - 946.133 Brenda Song

See, we should do the whole season just sitting down. I'm your height. Because I have to wear, like, these gigantic shoes. Apple boxes. Yeah. I'm, like, on apple boxes all the time and in gigantic shoes, and I'm still not as solid as Kate.

0

946.153 - 947.574 Kate Hudson

I'm also long-torsoed.

947.594 - 948.435 Brenda Song

But you also have long legs.

949.296 - 950.697 Kate Hudson

Oh, so you're low-perfect.

951.077 - 960.165 Paige DeSorbo

She's like, proportions are perfect. She's like, sorry, I don't understand this imperfection of body ratio. I guess I'm the platonic ideal of a woman.

960.205 - 982.223 Mindy Kaling

LAUGHTER I don't know. She was trying not to answer. She's like, someone else can go. I don't know. Matthew McConaughey says I have the perfect figure. It's whatever. Can we just say we didn't get to say this. We are so honored to be here. Oh, my God. Guys, thank you for having us.
