This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Good people, what's up, what's up? It's Questlove. So recently I had the incredible opportunity to have a real conversation with actress and producer Jamie Lee Curtis from Routines to Recovery, True Lies, and a certain Jermaine Jackson music video. Jamie's real and raw, and it's something I really admire about her.

565.883 - 591.267

But dude, total just like psychological experiment where you're like, I guess if you're this guy who has probably had something absolutely horrible happen to him that has made him the guy who goes up to strangers and just opens with that. I'm sure this is like the biggest thing that's ever happened to him because he's like, I told you. This is the thing. See ya. See, I also think L.A.

591.287 - 615.661

is a weird place. And L.A. L.A. is a very weird place. You must remember that. The weirdest. And here's why. He maybe was a failed actor or a writer who is putting on a character and going out the way they do, the way they tell you to do in acting class. They're like, put the character on. You are this person for an afternoon and go test it out.

0

615.681 - 642.941

And they would tell you that in improv class and in acting class to like be a different person, put on a different skin. He's hired. Walk about. And then this guy – Weirdly, his different character is very much about the Epstein file. He's pressing people on their knowledge of the files. Was it Miles Teller? Was it Miles Teller in character? I mean, he gave me whiplash. Oh, hello. Hello. Why?

662.27 - 681.529

He was not. No, no, no, no. Would have, should have. Little Monsters. Could have. Is he in that? No. Real Monsters? Ah, Real Monsters? That was before he was alive. Fred Savage. I think that might have been Fred Savage. Do you remember Little Monsters? Do you guys remember that movie? Yeah, that's the one with Howie Mandel that they go under the bed. Yes.

2733.848 - 2753.933

It's for the wives. You think I care about Partiful? I don't care about Partiful. I don't work for Partiful. I don't... Not yet. I couldn't give a shit about Partiful. After this pod. You seem like you're very pro-Partiful, dude. It is weird. Well, no, dude. It's so the wives know the headcount, and so they don't have to go through and... Do you want to use Partiful for anything? Yeah.

0

2754.554 - 2770.521

I have used it. It's very easy. You just click, I'm coming, or yes, no, maybe. I don't like it. I'm not a big Partiful guy. I find it to be very hard to navigate. All I'm saying is this episode is brought to you by Partiful. I got a question about Partiful.

0

2770.501 - 2792.796

I got an invite literally today, a partiful invite from a person from like 2010 that I'm like, is it just because I'm in your phone still that like you sent me this? We haven't spoken in 15 years. We were like acquaintances. How am I getting this now? What is happening?

2792.776 - 2814.042

Was it for like a something you for sure wouldn't go to something like a little housewarming party or something that you're like, I don't know this person. A baptism. Yeah. This is a person I knew for 10 seconds who's like, run it back. Run it back. Run it back. Well, no. The question is, is it like, hey, I'm doing a show and I want you to come check me out. Right.

2814.342 - 2832.794

Or is it like I'm getting married and I could see him just trying to throwing out as many. Not clicking on it. Not clicking on it. Oh, you don't even know what it is. You don't even know. You don't even know what it's about. No. Okay. Well, you know you can click on it and they can't tell that you've clicked. It's like you have to respond. No, I don't know that actually.

2832.834 - 2857.732

I don't know the rules of Partiful. I'm not scared, okay? Well, that's just the rules. I'm not scared to click on it. It seems like you're really scared. I have zero interest in clicking on it regardless. You're scared of clicking on it. Blake is scared of the Epstein files, and you're both scared of something. I'm just confused where the fuck Partiful came from. I'm a little shocked. I am too.

2857.772 - 2879.519

Because Ako and Atiba also sent one to us. And I was like, so everyone's doing this? My New Year's invitations, my Christmas parties, birthday parties, everything is partiful. I don't want it anymore. Everything is partiful. You have to sign up. You have to get a code. It's like you don't know who's coming until you say yes. Like, I don't want to say yes until I know who's there.
