00:00You and Kristen are obviously such good friends, was it hard to play?
00:04No.
00:05Was it fun?
00:06No, she's so cute.
00:07So, she's the best.
00:08It always makes me giggle when people think that I am the edgy, mouthy one of the two
00:13of us.
00:14She plays nice on TV, get real, you know what I mean?
00:16My personality is not going to be best friends with someone for 20 years, who is, you know,
00:22delicate and can't, you know, she loves a roast, she loves to make fun of me.
00:28Yeah.
00:30So, it's fun and easy too.
00:32I mean, it's like with anything with acting, if you, you know, are in a scene with your
00:36partner and you have to pretend, you know, pretend you don't like someone.
00:38Totally.
00:39It's not that hard.
00:40Not that hard.
00:41No.
00:42The basketball scene is so fun where they're, you know, ripping shots.
00:43The best.
00:44Were you actually ripping shots or was it just...
00:46No.
00:47No.
00:48We would have gotten wasted and had huge headaches.
00:49I mean, we were ripping whatever looks like tequila, either water or also they make whiskey
00:56look like...
00:57They make...
00:58They use iced tea.
00:59All right.
01:00So, that's probably better off.
01:01I mean, I came to work wasted that day.
01:03So, yeah.
01:04I was just absolutely shit-faced.
01:05So, for me, it didn't matter.
01:08It's like just another day on set.
01:10Not a drink.
01:11No.
01:12And you auditioned for the...
01:13Oh, yeah.
01:14You and Kristen are best friends.
01:15Yeah.
01:16But you still auditioned for the show.
01:17Oh, yeah.
01:18Big time.
01:19Yeah.
01:20And is it true that you didn't audition or didn't want to audition originally for Esther,
01:21right?
01:22No.
01:23No.
01:24No.
01:25No.
01:26Kind of backwards.
01:27Okay.
01:28So, I auditioned for the Rebecca role.
01:29Right.
01:30Okay.
01:31And that's Adam's ex who ends up being my best friend in the show.
01:37And so, I auditioned for the Rebecca role.
01:38I mean, I was going to audition for the Rebecca role.
01:40And then I went on a hike with Kristen one of the days.
01:43And I was like, oh, I have an audition for your show.
01:46And I think it's for Rebecca.
01:48And she was like, oh, you're way more of an Esther.
01:50Tell them that you're way more of an Esther.
01:51And I was like, okay.
01:52I called my agent.
01:53I was like, hey, Kristen says I'm more of an Esther.
01:56And then that was what I ended up auditioning for.
01:58But, you know, between the two of us, we have so many people we know auditioned and
02:03we're, you know, excited about.
02:06And it's just, it's never, nothing is ever a sure thing, right?
02:11It's like, I sent him my tape and she likes to say that she sort of took herself out of
02:15the decision making because she was like, well, you all know who I think it should be.
02:19But now there's our studio and our network and all the Netflix executives and the showrunners
02:24and everybody has to agree or at least come to a consensus about who this person is going
02:30to be.
02:31And so I'm really happy.
02:32I didn't find out for a month.
02:33Oh, my God.
02:34You had to stew on that for a month?
02:35A month?
02:36Yeah.
02:37And then like, we're hanging out and I can't like say, I'm not going to be like, so, hi,
02:40how are the kids?
02:41Did I get the part?
02:42Like, you just, right.
02:43You can't do it.
02:44It's like, well, this is what it is.
02:45This business is like, you know, people, I know people all over the place.
02:49They know me.
02:50It's when it all comes together in the way that it did here.
02:55Oh, my God.
02:56That's like torture, though.
02:57Oh, it was nuts.
02:58It was absolutely nuts.
02:59But, you know, a lot of the time, I think it was because it was over the holidays.
03:01But I still like, did not hear, did not know.
03:04Oh, it was excruciating, but yeah.
