[Jessica Capshaw]

Hello Call it crew, and welcome to another episode of Call it what it is part two with Ms. Kimberly Williams Paisley. We actually have a lot of personal questions now, too. On your Instagram, you went through what you do on a day off and this is the list I got. Meditate, work out, dyes your grays, infrared therapy, studies your lines and walks your dogs. Is this a. Is this a typical sort of day representation of a day for you?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, I think so. Like an ideal day in the life when I have time to do all those things. I'm also, like, returning emails and, like, there's a lot of work stuff. And we have a nonprofit. I do a lot of stuff with that daily.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Can you talk about that?

[Commercial Announcer]

Talk about that?

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We have a nonprofit. It's called the Store. And we're about to open our second location.

[Camille Ludington]

It's insane.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

So cool. You gotta come see.

[Camille Ludington]

Yes, I want to.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It's really awesome. It's like a cause I grew up. Like, my mom used to deliver meals on wheels, and once in a while we go to, like, a soup kitchen, and we'd. We'd give people. On Thanksgiving, we'd give people, like, turkey and cranberry sauce. And. And what I remember as a kid is that people kind of were resentful about that. And I've learned more about what was going on, like, in the years since. And so our vision with the store is really to give people dignity in choice, in getting to, like, come and shop for what they need and what their preferences are, and to have their kids see their. The parents in a position of power, in a position of choice. And. And. And I'm also, like, we've been to the food banks where, like, filling backpacks and stuff like that and like, with snacks. And it's not food that I would want to feed my kids sometimes. It's, like, very processed and stuff like that. And it's not necessarily what they'd want to eat. And also, it kind of looks industrial. It doesn't always look, like warm and welcoming. So our vision with the store is to have, like, a quaint grocery that's, like, welcoming and friendly. And, you know, the staff, they know you. We have amazing volunteers that come every week, and it's a little community. And these. And these are custom. They're our customers. They come in and they shop, and we always have produce. And they have, like, a certain allocation, you know, depending on the size of the family. That's how much food they can get. So we have farming partners, and they give us produce. So they can always take as much produce as they want because we want to.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Like, so how would someone get access to this if they need it?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Um, so we have, like, a ton of referral partners around Nashville. If someone comes in off the street and is just hungry on the day, like, we'll give an emergency supply to somebody, but. But then we have to, like, put them in the system. And actually we have a waiting list right now. We're full. So that's why we're second location.

[Camille Ludington]

Because we haven't talked about this. Is like, is this something that you and Brad built in with, with the idea of being able to scale it out?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, I mean, we would. It's taken a lot. We actually opened in the pandemic. We opened right after the tornadoes hit Nashville and like destroyed. Well, or maybe it was right before. It was right before destroyed all these homes. And so we opened our doors. We never got to have ribbon cutting because we were just going to get our ducks in a row. So we opened our doors. Then the tornadoes hit. So suddenly we're like, oh, I guess we do disaster relief now because we had all these supplies. So we started doing disaster relief. And then weeks later, the pandemic happened and suddenly they were like, oh, you can't go out and shop. So we had to close our doors. And we were. So we decided, okay, I guess we do deliveries to seniors now. So we got cars, we got volunteers, we got a van, and we started going out. So we've had to think on the fly, but we've still not ribbon cutting our official, like opening.

[Camille Ludington]

It's so amazing if you took all the information that you've gotten from setting it up and were able to hand like the booklet so that you could have different chapters. Because if every community could make this happen, then they should.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Well, we've had a ton of people reach out and say they want to, but it takes money and resources. We partnered with Belmont University when we started and that helped so much because they have a volunteer base. They gave us the land that we built on for this new location. It's gonna be next to Centennial Hospital. That's our partner for that one. And so you need to, you need to find resources where you are and, and you have three times.

[Camille Ludington]

You have three full time jobs.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

This is so incredible. I love that you're opening a second store and that's also going to be in Nashville, you said.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, that's in Nashville. And we'd love to open a third one in North Nashville. And we want to do what you're saying, like, we'd love to. There's been a lot of interest from a group in LA that wants to, um, Brad's from West Virginia. There's a group in West Virginia that wants to. But one thing at a time.

[Camille Ludington]

Everywhere. It would be amazing.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Everywhere.

[Jessica Capshaw]

We had a lot of questions for you about Diane Keaton.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, I know.

[Camille Ludington]

It is really. It's been. It's funny I told you this earlier that on my phone and the right hand corner, a news Item came up and it said something, you know, Diane Keaton. And then it was like, dot, dot, dot. And I thought, oh, she's done another movie or she's got another thing. I thought, nothing.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I know.

[Camille Ludington]

And then later in the day, I was on social media and I saw your post and I was. I stopped. It was a sit down moment.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, me too.

[Camille Ludington]

How did you find out? When did you find out?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I was on the peloton. You know, I was just like going through my day and looking at the phone and all of a sudden I got a text from a friend just saying, oh, I'm so sad about Diane. I was like, yeah, it was a. It was a stop everything and like, get on the floor kind of moment. What? She just was such a inspiration for me, such a big part of my life.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, you met her when you were 19.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I met her when I was 19 and I was a huge fan.

[Camille Ludington]

And you were. And you were auditioning for Father.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I was auditioning for Father the Father.

[Camille Ludington]

Because that was the movie that you did together. And you did not just one, but two, three. Sorry.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Once in the pandemic. Well, it wasn't an official, like, full length, but we did. That was the last time, I think that I saw her was on Zoom during the pandemic. I may have seen her once after that, but yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

So you went to go audition.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

When you were 19 years old and met one of your idols. Yes.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

And she more than lived up to it. She was just so generous and so funny and wise. Just like wonderful. And especially on the second film, I felt like we really bonded and, you know, just laughed like you and I do. Like, just like the humor clicked and it was so fun to be on set when she was on set.

[Jessica Capshaw]

What's one of your fondest memories of her?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We went she once. She was a swap meet person.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, she was such a design enthusiast. I mean, she made books about design and.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yes. So, yeah. So interesting. Her taste and her fashion. And her fashion was incredible. She just created that look.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, the Annie hall and all. And her creation, I mean, because I'm gonna say it was a creation. I mean, that was her. And this menswear.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

Maybe Lauren Hutton had kind of dipped into it before, but, like, it was this unbelievably original version of a modern woman.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. And sexy and confident.

[Camille Ludington]

Yes.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. So anyway, one day, I think it was like, right after, during Father the Bride two, she said, I'm going to the swap meet this weekend. You want to go? And I was like, yeah, And I am not. I'd never been a swap meet person. I didn't know how to do it, you know? And she knew. She knew that. And she showed up, and it was like a hot day. And she showed up in her full Diane Keaton, like, you know, her suit, top hat. Her hat and her necktie. She might have even had gloves, you know.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

She showed up as Diane Keaton and she had like a. Like, open up cart in her trunk, you know, she went and opened up her trunk and she had her swap meet cart. And she's like, okay. And she gave me $5.

[Camille Ludington]

Stop.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

And she's like, go buy something. And I'm gonna go buy something, too. And we went with her sister. I'm pretty sure it was her sister. And she went off shopping, and I went off and I was like, what am I supposed to buy? How am I supposed to know? Like, what Diane Keaton would think is cool? And I think I remember buying, like, a plastic flower. I don't know. What could I find for $5? And we swapped me a lot. I know we met back up around, like, 20 minutes later. And her cart was full. Yeah, Full of stuff. She had, like, a clown painting they just never would have picked out. But she found treasures.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I just thought it was so fun.

[Camille Ludington]

I believe that about her. Yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We were in an earthquake together once, too. That was.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh, wait. What? Tell me.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We were at a restaurant. We were having lunch, and we were sitting in a restaurant in la, like, at this tiny little table, and an earthquake hit. And she's like, we have to get under the table.

[Jessica Capshaw]

We got under.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We got under this tiny little table.

[Camille Ludington]

Under the table with Diane Keaton.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

That could be a scene in Father of the Bride, I feel like.

[Commercial Announcer]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, for sure.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Did she teach.

[Camille Ludington]

Was there anything that you remember her teaching you?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I remember I had a lot of anxiety during those two movies. I mean, I was 19 on the first one. It was the first major role I had. And Diane was like a mother figure to me who was very safe. So I did. I talked to her about my anxiety. I had a lot of dreams. I'm a big dreamer, literally. But I would have, like, weird nightmares and weird. And I think it was like me working out my anxiety in the middle of the night, and she would analyze dreams with me. So, I mean, really, like, she was just this kind listening ear.

[Camille Ludington]

Does she have some good stuff about anxiety? We talk about it a lot.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Honestly, I think it was something that she probably dealt with too. So. No, she didn't have easy answers. I think she had people she trusted that she talked to about it too.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Like the lived experience, how to navigate it, just living with it.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Sometimes it just helps to talk to someone who's been through it too.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, it's funny because these are the reasons I love social media, is that when it gets to know you, it sends you the things that it knows you want. And Charlie Rose put on a snippet of an interview he had with her and I saw it last night and I thought it was so interesting because he asked her if she had. I'm remembering it as he asked her if she had any regrets or anything that she wished she'd done. And she was so grounded. And she took his question very seriously. And she said, I wish that I had had more confidence to do the thing. Like I wish that there were my lack of confidence or my worry kept me from doing things I wish I had. Yeah. And it was, it was because of the context of knowing that she'd passed that I thought it was almost like a voice coming from beyond.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

It makes me like, makes me kind of like when you hear from people who, when you're hearing, when you're seeing or reading people whose. Who have passed and their. And their messages come to you, I think that it's like they carry a different weight.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Which interestingly sort of segues into something that you and I have talked about that you've gone through. But when I read this quote I thought, oh my gosh, I hadn't thought about it in this way. You went through a period of time where you could not speak and I read a quote where you said that I felt invisible and that you didn't want to, that it led you to a place where you actually felt like oh my gosh, if this is my reality and I can't speak anymore, I don't want to leave things unsaid and how it ties into just, like, what I just said about Diane, where it's like, when we pass, when we think we've lost our voice, like, what are the things? Because I do think you should live every day of your life like it's your last. And I believe in all of that, and I believe in showing up every day and as your best self. But in that moment when you lost your voice and you were thinking that, like, what are the things that could be left unsaid? What were you focusing on or what were you thinking about when you said that?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I think that I am a person who tends to put other. Other people's needs before my own. And I think I was really in a pattern of doing that and just going, well, it's fine. I can adapt. I can adjust. And honestly, the thing that happened with us, the small W, that the W.

[Camille Ludington]

Was the letter E, I wasn't wrong. I just misstepped.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Right? But whatever it was, the thing that I was like, ow. And I think the old me would have been like, it's fine. It's not a big deal. Don't bring anything up. Like, don't ruffle any feather. And the new version of me is like, yeah, but that kind of hurts. So I think I need to just say something. And that comes out of two years of being, like, maybe no one's gonna ever hear me. Maybe I am invisible. Maybe my. Like, how am I gonna have my voice be heard? And so practicing for two years. Well, over the course of two years, to speak up and if people can't hear me, to wait until it's quieter and they can, to write, to have my voice be heard that way. You know, to ask for what I need. I would like to sit on this side of you so that I can turn my head to the right, because I have more volume that way. And, like, even little things like that, like just speaking up for what I need to be heard and stepping out for me and, like, you know, how can I take care of myself best? And that's what came out of that period of feeling invisible that makes so much sense.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I have a question. If you could have not had that experience, would you get rid of it if you had that sort of, like, crazy, magical control over your life? Or are you kind of glad that you went through that? If that makes sense?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, that's a good question. Do you know who Kate Bowler is? She has a podcast, too. Anyway, I was listening to one of her episodes once, and she had this rabbi on who. Anyway, she went. She's going through health stuff, and. And they were talking about, like, is it worth it? All this stuff? Is it worth it?

[Jessica Capshaw]

No.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Is it worth less? No. So that's how I feel. You know, Was it worth going through it? No. But I am hell bent on making a meal out of it, making it be worth something. I want to take something from this experience, and I have so much that I've gained from this experience.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I think it's kind of magical, actually, like, hearing that story and then you thought, you know, maybe you'd have to never. You'd be never acting again.

[Camille Ludington]

And.

[Jessica Capshaw]

And now you're cast on a show. But the interesting part to me, which is, like, just kind of tingly, is that the fact that your role on the show is the voice that people hear calling in like, you're.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

No kidding.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Like, isn't that bizarre? Yes, it's. So I've just realized. I mean, maybe you guys have talked about this before. I'm just realizing it, hearing it.

[Camille Ludington]

No, that's such a great point. It's exactly right.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It's a great point. And that has hit me. The irony's not lost on me that that's the primary way in for my character is her voice.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

And I've actually, your voice is the most important on the show, of course.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. And I love that. And I've gotten compliments on my voice. And my voice sounds different.

[Camille Ludington]

Sounds a great voice.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It's very calm.

[Jessica Capshaw]

In what way has it changed?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It's different. It's quieter. It's deeper. For a while, it just kept getting higher and higher. Until then it just kind of turned whispery. And so it's not as loud. It's not as loud.

[Camille Ludington]

How far between you regaining your new voice and coming onto the show? What was the delta?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I got surgery in August of last year.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Wow.

[Camille Ludington]

And then that's when you started.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Long ago, right? It's not long. And actually a couple months or maybe like a month after surgery, I did. I hosted this reality dating show called Farmer wants a Wife, which was. Yeah, I love reality show. Have you seen Farmer wants a Wife?

[Jessica Capshaw]

I definitely saw the commercials with Farmer wants a wife, the trailers.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

That is also a show where I did so much voiceover because I had to narrate all of the action. So that was another one where. And I was so scared going into that job because I just hadn't been able to trust that my voice would be there for so long that I didn't know what it would be like in a loud room or with all the girls that are on the show making noise. If I had to quiet everyone down, how would I get through it? And that was. I had to face some major fears. And same with coming on our show. I had a bit of imposter syndrome in the beginning and just had to settle into it. And now I feel great. I feel great.

[Camille Ludington]

You are great on the show.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I would want to hear this voice right now If I called 91 1. I think it's so soothing. You're like the perfect cast for it.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I just mean I'm having a really good time. I'm like, very. It feels like home. It feels really nice.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, you do get to be home, Kim. Yes.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Shot in my backyard.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

So basically.

[Camille Ludington]

What is something that you.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Auditioned for and almost got but didn't?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

There were, like, some action adventure ones that, like, Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz did a long time ago. Buffy the Vampire Slayer got the part.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh. Sarah Michelle Geller got the part.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, there was also. No, I can't. Those are like. I let them go, so it's hard for me to remember them.

[Camille Ludington]

Ugh. Boring.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I know it's boring.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Jess and I like to hold on and then hold a seance for them.

[Camille Ludington]

Burns in a fire.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I'm kidding.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, so great for them. No, but I. So, But I do always say this.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I do say this.

[Camille Ludington]

I say this to people when they call me during terrible breakups or when they don't get the part or, you know, when whatever disappointment comes their way. I always say. And it's so far, it's true. I don't know when. Whether it's like five days later or five weeks later, five years later, so on, so on. But you do end up sort of writing that person or that thing a thank you note because with some perspective. What, not getting it got you for sure. And I. I mean, yeah, I can. I mean, there are years.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Have you already talked about them on the show?

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, we've talked about that.

[Jessica Capshaw]

But, like, Jess's are more impressive than mine because mine was just a lot of, like, cw.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm. You just had a steady job for longer.

[Jessica Capshaw]

No, that's not true. I think I. I think that my. I can't think of anything super high profile that I. I auditioned for Juno, but I didn't know that that was going to take off and be what it was at the time, which would have been incredible. Obviously.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

But no, we, We. We ask this question a lot and it's kind of in. It's kind of amazing what people have yeah, it is.

[Camille Ludington]

And you know, it's funny, I, I find that people do get a little bit, like, they're right. Like, like, like, you know, like, is that. But it was funny. We were talking to Kim Raver and, and, and this is crazy because Kim and Camilla and I have been friends for a long time. And Kim, when Kim came on the show, we became fast friends and everything else. And she never ever told me that one of hers was for. Was for Minority Report.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, wow.

[Camille Ludington]

Like, how she never told me that. I still don't understand. It's like she. And she really got like, up to the, like up to it.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Like in the room with Tom Cruise.

[Camille Ludington]

Yes. Like, got the.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh, my God.

[Camille Ludington]

She never said a word. But it's like, I think we. I, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what the psychology behind it is, but I think that if, when we don't get the part, we just kind of go, well, it wasn't ours and we're not gonna talk about it.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, yeah. And that's why I'm drawing. Answer that question. I promise you there have been really.

[Camille Ludington]

Really sexy ones that she's going to tell me later.

[Jessica Capshaw]

By the cast chairs, by the casters yesterday, by the way, our casters were.

[Camille Ludington]

All in a, like in a semi circle. And it turns out that I just bring more to set than anyone else. And I had to have a podium.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Next to my chair so that I.

[Camille Ludington]

Could put all my.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

In high maintenance over here. Had an office. The rest of us had chairs.

[Jessica Capshaw]

My God, that reminds me that we used to work with. Used to set up like 20 computers. Oh, this is a cute question. Did you take any. Cute. Did you? Wait, no, I didn't hear you.

[Camille Ludington]

Jesse Williams.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Yeah, Jesse. I mean, like, Jesse. I love him and, but he would, it was like he would be taking business meetings in the chat. That's why he's got so much going on.

[Camille Ludington]

He had Cammy set up. He had Cami screens.

[Jessica Capshaw]

100. He was filming a show as we were filming the show.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, nice multitasking.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm like, but what's that laptop for? Wait, but what's that one for?

[Jessica Capshaw]

Yeah, when we get him, all we gotta ask him. We've never asked. Who doesn't dream of a bra you won't want to rip off as soon as you get home?

This is a really cute question, so I want to make sure we ask it. Did you take any keepsakes home from the father of the bride set?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I actually took a gift from Diane. It wasn't a gift from. It wasn't like a prop in the. But she did give me this little. She probably got it at a swap meet. Just this little guy pin. Just an odd little thick figure like guy pin. So I have that.

[Camille Ludington]

Like to put on your lapel.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Uh huh. Aww. Yeah. So sweet. And. And I did take a basketball home, but I'm really embarrassed to say because I had the basketball team. I'm embarrassed to say I have no idea which basketball it is. We have like a bunch of basketball.

[Camille Ludington]

You lost the father of the bride.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I did.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh my God. That's absolutely amazing.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

Okay. Okay. This is. Oh, well, this is gonna be great because we were just talking about it yesterday. Who was your biggest celebrity crush when you started in Hollywood and did you ever meet them?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

We talked about this.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, we talked about what I'll get to after you answer this question.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Who is my biggest celebrity crush and did I ever meet them?

[Camille Ludington]

Your baby, Kim. You're 19. You do this huge movie now. You're like. I mean, everyone's looking at Kimberly Williams because you're not Kimberly Williams Paisley yet.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yes.

[Camille Ludington]

And they're like, ooh, she is the total package because I saw that movie and oh, she's cute. Okay. You could go out with anyone, right? Who did you crush on?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I feel like you're leading me to something. No. Who did you crush on? I honestly crushed on my co star, George Newbern. I had a crush on him. He was so cute. He was super cute and super Mario.

[Camille Ludington]

A crush on him. Yeah. Well, Marion would make him less cute.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh, he was married when you guys were shooting.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, no.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

So married.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I got very excited for a second.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. And then I did date someone at the studio.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, okay.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Which is interesting. We're talking about who I had a crush on. Her celebrity crush.

[Camille Ludington]

Mine was Michael J. Like, I loved Michael J. Fox.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

I think was cute.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Mine was Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

[Camille Ludington]

Oof.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I actually. I thought Rob Lowe was really hot when I was younger.

[Camille Ludington]

He's a very handsome man.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

No, that's Tom Cruise. That's Tom Cruise. Tom. I thought Tom Cruise. Was really hot.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Did you ever meet Tom Cruise?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I did. I met him very briefly.

[Camille Ludington]

Did he live up to the cuteness? Hotness?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, sure. I mean, but by then, the Ed had gone. Yeah, a little bit.

[Camille Ludington]

Peak. Tom Cruise hotness for me was Jerry Maguire.

[Jessica Capshaw]

You talk about Jerry Maguire all the time, Jess.

[Camille Ludington]

Most romantic movie.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I actually think he's really cute in War of the Worlds, too. I like him in a baseball hat fighting aliens.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

He's got a very winning.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. I also did have a crush on Rob Lowe way back. Yeah. And I got to meet him and work with him.

[Camille Ludington]

Did you have a crush on him when you worked with him? No, it had passed. It's funny how these things pass.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

I also thought Rob Lowe was super. I mean, everyone. That was insane. Almost fire.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I was gonna say that was like.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Never.

[Camille Ludington]

Judd. Nelson. Nelson. He was. I could appreciate that he was cute, but he wasn't my thing. Andrew McCarthy, all soft, sweet. I worked with him later, and you know what? I didn't have a crush on him. So it passed.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

It's funny how these things fast.

[Jessica Capshaw]

What is your favorite mo. What was your favorite movie to film and why?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Every film. Not every film, but many of the films that I filmed, I loved them for a certain reason. There were some films that turned out to be terrible, but I met somebody that was amazing. There was a movie I did with Patrick Stewart, by the way, that you don't ever have to see. But it was wonderful to work with him, and he became a friend for a while and stuff, and that was amazing. But honestly, Father, the Bride was really. That changed my life. It was a classic movie. It's something that people talk to me about every day.

[Camille Ludington]

And you could rewatch it like it was the first time.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

You and Chris were talking. You were telling Chris that he needed to watch a movie last night.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Do you want to Troll two? Oh, gosh. Have you ever heard this movie Troll two? Are you kidding?

[Jessica Capshaw]

Absolutely. I know all those songs.

[Camille Ludington]

Do you know I've never seen Troll 2. Why isn't it called Troll? Does none of it makes sense? And there's not a Troll one.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

There's not a troll one. And have you ever watched the documentary about the making of Troll 2?

[Jessica Capshaw]

No, I haven't done a deep dive.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Do yourself a favor. Did Chris say, I hope so?

[Camille Ludington]

Okay, I hope she really was selling it hard to Chris last night.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I'm. I'm. Was it too hard? Did I ever sell it?

[Camille Ludington]

Well, I mean, no, actually, because it made me feel like maybe I should watch it. But I knew that it was not going to be my thing.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It's not the kind of thing. You should go sit down and watch it by yourself. It's the kind of thing like you need to get some trolls.

[Camille Ludington]

Gets cozy at home, turns on Netflix, and gets into Troll 2.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

No, you need to be with friends. You need to come over to our house. What we need to do is have a troll 2 party and it'll be a double feature. Because I think the documentary is called the Greatest Film. Or the Greatest Worst Film Ever Made. I think that's what it's called.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Is that really what it's called? My kids loved that movie.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Roll two. You're not thinking of the animated.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I thought you were talking about trolls. This.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

No, no, no.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

There's a 10 troll in town.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Troll. You're recommending Troll, too?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Listen, this is a movie. This is a movie.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Catch on quick enough.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Just look at the poster and you'll get the idea.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm not gonna pull it up right now. I'm telling you, once you. Once you get up, once you all.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I'm gonna say, be like a B horror movie, because I love a B horror movie.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

A good D horror movie sounds better.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Are you kidding? Oh, wait, they pulled up. Oh, hang on, hang on. I've gotten the. They just pulled up the post.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Made by an Italian filmmaker who didn't speak any English, and yet the film is written in English.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Okay, okay. This is the tagline. Hang on. Celebrate one of the most disrespected horror movie films in recent history and fall in love with this genuine failure that is. This is absolutely incredible. I'm not even kidding. This is. This is amazing. I'm watching it. I want to come to the watch party, right?

[Commercial Announcer]

Yes.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Do a watch party, though. Don't watch.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah, no, I'm not going to.

[Jessica Capshaw]

It looks like it needs to be watched with somebody else. Absolutely.

[Camille Ludington]

Okay, the fan question next is on your first date with Brad.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

Who made the first move?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

He did.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, he did.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

He said, stop me if I'm out of line.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Oh.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh, stop it. That's so romantic.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Isn't that sweet?

[Camille Ludington]

Yes, that's very sweet.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Okay, I have one last question myself. Wait.

[Camille Ludington]

But that leads into the next one because I actually think a good one, because I saw a snippet before we met. I don't even think I told you this. I saw a snippet of him performing on stage right before Mother's Day, and he was doing a concert, and for some reason, I guess he hadn't turned off his phone. His cell phone.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, yes.

[Camille Ludington]

And he heard it ring, and he. And he took the call during this conversation during the concert with like 20,000 people, you know, watching him. Maybe 40. Who knows? I don't know. And he picked up the phone, and it was one. I don't know which one of your son.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Jasper.

[Camille Ludington]

It was Jasper. And he answered the phone and had a full conversation with him.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

He did.

[Camille Ludington]

That was very, very funny.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It was not staged or planned, but.

[Camille Ludington]

It was very funny.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It was funny. It was the night before Mother's Day. I was asleep like a normal person at 8pm I'm the only person in my house that goes to bed early.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I go to bed so early too. I'll be honest.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. And by the way, early at our house is like 11. My kids go to bed way later, and so does Brad. But Brad likes to decorate for Mother's Day and birthdays, and, like, he's just likes to decorate.

[Camille Ludington]

This is where we will bond. Yeah. Go on. So does Capshaw. Go on.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

You do.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, my God.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Yeah. She's a big decorator.

[Camille Ludington]

I am too.

[Jessica Capshaw]

But, yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

That'S what he's all about.

[Camille Ludington]

It's gonna be amazing.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Okay. And so anyway, he really wanted to decorate for Mother's Day, and he was on stage, and so he had to put Jasper in charge. So Jasper is calling him to find out where the decorations were, and he's.

[Camille Ludington]

Talking him through it, but it's like, I got people waiting on me, you know, at this concert I'm at.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It was really cute.

[Camille Ludington]

I'm gonna have to call you back.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It was really cute.

[Camille Ludington]

So is he funny at home? Does he pull off this on charming hilariousness at home as well?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Not always. Not always. We're gonna have dinner with him tonight. Possibly.

[Camille Ludington]

I mean, it's a mystery whether or not he's gonna show up. And I'm really excited.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

By the way, another Jessica Capshaw fact is that you have impeccable table manners.

[Camille Ludington]

Do I?

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Have you noticed that?

[Camille Ludington]

I didn't even know.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I. I haven't noticed. But I do know that her. She has a parenting thing where she likes her kids, and I. I adopted it. We talked about this in Paris. You're like, I like my. I like to teach my kids table etiquette, where it's like, if you're done, your knife and fork go together on the plate. And so I started to do that. Right.

[Camille Ludington]

Do you remember this conversation?

[Jessica Capshaw]

Yeah, I started to do that.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Wow.

[Jessica Capshaw]

When you're eating with Justin, Capture I.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Just noticed that, like, my elbows were on the table, and I'm, like, eating the fork with the tongs going up, you know? And I'm, like, probably talking with my mouth full. And Jessica's got the fork upside down.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Oh, yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

And she's cutting, and she's eating it upside. I was like, damn, girl.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Damn, she's classy.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

So you need to know, Brad Paisley, not the best table man.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, okay.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

But he's a sweetheart, and he's so funny.

[Camille Ludington]

I can't wait. Like I said, I can't.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I don't hold it against him.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, I'm trying not to get my hopes up in case.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah, definitely not come. And they shouldn't be up anyway.

[Camille Ludington]

Just.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Let's lower the bar.

[Camille Ludington]

Oh, yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Okay. Not coming.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Anyway, we have time, apparently, for one last question. So here's my question. I'm sure you're asked all the time about what your favorite song is of your husband's. Is he ever writing a song, though? And he plays it for you, and you say, that's terrible. Start over.

[Camille Ludington]

Yes.

[Jessica Capshaw]

Stop it.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Oh, for sure. And it'll be about me, and it's like a love story or love song or something. And I'm like, it's too schmaltzy.

[Camille Ludington]

Stop.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I love this. Oh, my God. That's absolutely amazing.

[Camille Ludington]

Well, that's also an incredible achievement for a recovering slash former people pleaser.

[Sleep Apnea PSA Voice]

Well, yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

That's wonderful that you can say that.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yes. Thank you. Thank you.

[Camille Ludington]

That shows true intimacy also.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. And he trusts me. Like, he'll ask me my opinion on songs, and I. And I give it to him, and sometimes it's hard. It's hard to tell them the truth.

[Camille Ludington]

Yeah.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

It could be bad.

[Camille Ludington]

Right? But I really mean it. Like, having. Being. Being in a relationship where you feel. You know, where you feel like you can say this thing I'm gonna say might disappoint you, and. And say it anyways. That's fantastic.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

I will say he's a brilliant songwriter. Like, I really. I rarely tell him I don't like it.

[Jessica Capshaw]

It's.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

And. And actually, I know he can take it because often if there's a line like, I think it could be better, he makes it 10 times better.

[Camille Ludington]

That's a partnership.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Camille Ludington]

It's a great partner.

[Jessica Capshaw]

All right.

[Camille Ludington]

I kind of want to end on that.

[Jessica Capshaw]

I know. Thank you so much for being here. Can we steal you back on? As the season goes on and more gets revealed? For sure.

[Kimberly Williams Paisley]

That'd be so fun.

[Camille Ludington]
