On this episode of The Commercial Break.
Oh yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to yet a regular episode of The Commercial Break. I'm missing my co-host because I believe she will never return after the 26 days of TCB. But in the low light of the post-Christmas glow, we must forge on, my friends. We must forge on. You didn't ask for it, but I don't care. Gonna put out an episode on this Thursday anyway. And while I sit here recording on actual Christmas Day, I know tomorrow I will be full of blaze in the post-holiday depression that's sure to overtake us all. So while the ladies take some well-deserved time off, I'm going to try and cheer you up with a few interviews we recorded but haven't gotten to because for some incredibly dumb reason, I decided to put out 25 episodes in the month of December.
How did Poppy Liu become known in the entertainment industry?
But just a few weeks back, before all of the high drama around 12 Days of TCB, Chrissy and I did get an opportunity to sit with the lovely Poppy Liu. Poppy is stealing scenes in Hacks. She's currently on the Netflix Top 10 series No Good Deed. She starred in Dead Ringers, The After Party, Space Cadet, and Mercy Mistress. She's a Peabody Award winner. She's known for her sitcoms like Sunnyside, Hacks, and Ike Harley. And she's always making things interesting on her Instagram at Poppy Republic. I'll put it all in the show notes, but let's not dwaddle today. Let's get right to it. I know you've got batteries to buy and things to return.
What insights does Poppy share about motherhood and cooking?
So we'll make this quick and easy and hopefully put a smile on your face as we talk to Poppy.
The next episode of the commercial break starts now.
poppy is here with us now thank you poppy for joining us we really appreciate it hi thanks for having me we're so glad that you're here and uh just as we were coming on uh to record we learned that poppy is just a few short miles away from us and here in the atlanta studio had we known this we would have brought you in because uh you just look lovely today i can basically see into your window yes i'm basically i'm outside your studio Yeah. Listen, you would have come on here and you would have outshone the entirety of this studio because you look lovely, Poppy.
Thank you. Well, I do feel like I should let your listeners know that I look like a full trad wife right now. Just so you have a visual, behind this voice is a trad wife. Yeah, I look like I'm going to sell you a toaster oven or like a vacuum. I would buy it.
A toaster oven or you're going to make me deviled eggs when I come home in my three-piece suit for my job at the ad agency.
100%. Or are we both models and we're both coming from our joint modeling jobs, cough, cough, Nara Smith, Lucky Blue Smith. I know that I'm really deep in that lore. I say this as someone who doesn't have any trad skills. I really can't cook. I have a child, too, and I thought after I had my child, I would learn how to cook. Some maternal instinct for cooking would kick in. And it hasn't. It just doesn't happen.
How does Poppy Liu balance her acting career with personal life?
How old is your child? I mean, I read that you had a baby. Almost two. Almost two. Congratulations.
Thank you so much. Love of my life.
Yeah, of course. I have a number of them also. We joke that I have 12 to 13.
We don't know how many.
Yeah, I don't know. Either does either to the listeners. But at two years old, you know, I thought also for some reason, I thought I would also gain some cooking skills once I had kids. I'm like, well, now I really have to learn how to cook something besides, you know, microwave pizza. But I have I have learned nothing in the many years that I've now had children. I've learned nothing. I can't do it.
I don't have the je ne sais quoi for, you know, like I feel like you just need some people don't have it. And I really don't.
What challenges does Poppy face as an actress in today's industry?
And that's okay. You've got other skills.
You've got other skills. So who does the cooking? How does the child get fed exactly?
Amazing question. I do have an amazing nanny. And she feeds both my child and me. So thank you. Thank you to Des. We love Des. Wait, actually, that's funny, though. Me and my friends were just talking about like, what all of our skills would be in the apocalypse, like what we would contribute to the commune.
