• Coping with Anxiety via Hypnosis:

    • "You start believing it because you don't have your conscious voice saying, 'I don't think that's true.'"

• Culture That Made Her:
  • [68:29] Brittany’s answer to “what is the culture that made you say ‘culture is’?”:
    • “Strictly Meg Ryan movies on a loop...she always was the smartest person in the room...I loved that dichotomy.”
    • Matt: "You have brought that Meg Ryan archetype into the present...you’ve always really occupied that sharpness in the acting...”
• Rom-Com Tropes, 90s Movie Love Bombing:
  • [75:13] Brittany: "I don't know if you guys have noticed this about 90s movies, but there's a lot of commonality...stalking."

[Bowen Yang]

Ding dong. Las culturistas calling. Well, you have come from an interesting event.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, that's right.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

I was just with Manon, Sophia, Daniela, Yunche, Megan and Sophia. Did I repeat some names? You might have said Alara, Elara, Lara, of course. Oh, my God. Lara. Raj, how could I find out?

[Bowen Yang]

You know what? That's the power of Sofia. She gets mentioned twice.

[Matt Rogers]

Sophia gets mentioned twice.

[Bowen Yang]

Sophia. You go, girl.

[Matt Rogers]

You go, girl. I was with Cat's Eye dancing with them. I was not dancing with them, but I was shooting a video that should be out by now, by the time this comes out. But God, those girls are truly incredible.

[Bowen Yang]

They have a great bounty of talent, a great fortune. They have a great fauchin. Fauchin. Fauchin.

[Matt Rogers]

Anthony Fauchian. Who? Wait, what did you read?

[Bowen Yang]

I said bounty and fortune at the same time and it came out.

[Matt Rogers]

Fountain is actually really powerful.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, it's actually number 60. When you say bounty and fortune at the same time, you get Fountain. Well, those girls of Cat's Eye have a great fountain of beauty and talent.

[Matt Rogers]

Youth and talent and work ethic. And they're so sweet. They're funny as hell. I mean, that EP beautiful chaos. Excellent. I mean, obviously we're like the last people telling people to stream.

[Bowen Yang]

They're like machines. As are you, my friend. My dearest friend.

[Matt Rogers]

[Bowen Yang]

One of the most famous dancers.

[Matt Rogers]

Now, that's not true. It is true.

[Bowen Yang]

Don't challenge me.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, I flopped on this dance, I must say, because the choreo that Cat's eye does.

[Bowen Yang]

Is. Was it difficult?

[Matt Rogers]

Incredible. Like, you have no idea. We gotta talk to our guest about Choreo because I wanna know what Adam Shankman made this icon do on stage.

[Bowen Yang]

Our guest has hit the step for decades.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

It's actually roller culture number 50, Britney.

[Matt Rogers]

Snow has hit the step for decades. And it was a lot of fun. Check it out. It comes out Halloween. They do fun Halloween stuff, these girls.

[Bowen Yang]

I bet they do.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Because you're gonna love this Halloween thing.

[Bowen Yang]

Really?

[Matt Rogers]

Is that like a special at this point?

[Bowen Yang]

It's out.

[Matt Rogers]

So they got dogged online because at the VMAs on the red carpet, a lovely responded on bill from Billboard asked them, we're celebrating Mariah tonight. What is your One by one. Let's go around one by one, your favorite Mariah video. And these girls, they're young. They don't know they're babies. It's a little bit before.

[Bowen Yang]

Babies don't necessarily know about Mariah. It's actually really culture. Number 15.

[Matt Rogers]

Babies don't necessarily know about Mariah. So they were stumped. And then, of course, like, the, you know, a certain millennial sect, you know, sect of gay men especially, kind of was like, oh, these girls, you know, open the schools. These girls don't know. And so for their Halloween thing this year, they are all dressed up as their favorite Mariah video.

[Bowen Yang]

Look, I love that they pay respects.

[Matt Rogers]

They pay respects. And there's a great broad sort of gamut of Mariah looks that I think will please a lot of people.

[Bowen Yang]

And I'm sure the millennial gays will now put their weapons down and leave the girls alone.

[Matt Rogers]

But, okay, but like, I was talking to the girls and they were like, we love her. We love her so much. We just, like, we couldn't think of, like, any videos. And like, we watched all of them and, like, they're so cats.

[Bowen Yang]

I come on the show.

[Matt Rogers]

Come on the show. We'll get.

[Bowen Yang]

You're invited. We'll get. All right. Well, speaking of if they open the schools, I believe that our guest is in all the textbooks in the schools.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

She actually is an incredibly part big part of pop culture in so many.

[Matt Rogers]

Different lanes and ways and verticals. I'll say.

[Bowen Yang]

I remember when I first saw the guest when on television. Oh, there was a preview for a new show called American Dreams. And the star of it was this absolutely gorgeous ray of light. And I remember being young, gay, and I said, that's a star.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

That is a superstar. That. Whose name we will know. I believe she even got one of those, like an Introducing Britney Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

And introducing.

[Bowen Yang]

She did. She's making a face that would suggest I'm wrong, but in my mind it was American Dreams and Introducing Britney Snow.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, that sounds so right. It hits the earth perfectly.

[Bowen Yang]

She's the star of the cultural phenomenon that is the Hunting Wives Murdoch Murders. Sophie is on Hulu now. So much more.

[Matt Rogers]

I said Sophie.

[Bowen Yang]

Sophie was the name of her character different from Sophia.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

But let's say Sophie twice, just to make it fair.

[Matt Rogers]

Sophie.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. And I guess I could say on Lost Cultures and now and introducing. Yes, it is a phenomenon that you're here.

[Britney Snow]

No, it's. I. I'm just so delighted and honored. It's not a phenomenon. I was gonna come here regardless whether you wanted me here or not.

[Bowen Yang]

No, for us.

[Matt Rogers]

We want you here. Yeah. It's a personal phenomenon for us.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, no, no, it's. I. I mean, this is the most lovely introduction, though. I do not feel like in. I'm in this category whatsoever, but thanks.

[Bowen Yang]

Was it an Introducing Britney Snow? It might have been.

[Britney Snow]

If it was for you, then that's what matters.

[Bowen Yang]

I just remember, like, that's a huge deal, though. Like, you're. You're. I guess you'd been acting since you were a kid. Kid.

[Britney Snow]

A kid kid. Like a baby, right?

[Bowen Yang]

A Tampa kid.

[Britney Snow]

A Tampa kid, yes. My mom put me into those commercials when I was a baby. And so I have known no different.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Yes. Just living the life, the hard life of a Tampa child actor.

[Britney Snow]

It was hard. No, I.

[Matt Rogers]

Just kidding. What was the hardest part? The driving.

[Britney Snow]

They put you behind the Orlando, Florida, the 5ams, like getting in the back of my mom's van. She gets me one Dunkin Donut.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh.

[Britney Snow]

Just one pretty good strawberry glaze.

[Bowen Yang]

Come on now.

[Britney Snow]

And I am in the audition at like 8:30, 9:00 in the morning, and I have to be on. I've got to be cute.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Pigtails. Always.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course.

[Britney Snow]

Was the look well around like, six or seven? Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

A braided pigtail.

[Britney Snow]

No, like two.

[Matt Rogers]

Just barely.

[Bowen Yang]

Annoying Pippi.

[Britney Snow]

Long stocking vibes. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

But does part of you, like, I. I wasn't even at all near this, like, sort of channel between Tampa and Orlando or anywhere in Florida feeding into central Florida. It just felt like such a 90s thing. Like this aspirational 90s thing for kids, for people our age, where it was like, oh, my God. Well, you can, like, get your start in Orland. You could go to Orlando.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God.

[Britney Snow]

And it was even worse. That we were in Tampa. Like, I was a Tampa kid. I was born and raised there, so it was almost like, required that I was a part of dance and singing and stuff like that because there was pop stars coming out of Florida and everything was very Nicki related and. And so, yeah, I had no choice.

[Bowen Yang]

So you were a Tampa kid who longed to be an Orlando kid?

[Britney Snow]

I did, actually. Especially because in my teenage years, Orlando had teen clubs called the Groove.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, teen clubs in Orlando.

[Britney Snow]

The Groove was my mecca. I would leave high school school and go right from, like, High School Friday to Orlando and spend the weekend with my friends in Orlando. And I would be at the teen clubs with, like, a cowboy hat.

[Matt Rogers]

And like, this sounds heavenly.

[Bowen Yang]

Honest. It does. That was exactly what on Long Island I pictured it being.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, but like, no social media, no phones. We're just at the teen club. Like in your.

[Matt Rogers]

And your Stetson.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. What was like that big human. The loving feels so good and that's.

[Bowen Yang]

What takes me high. Oh, wow. And then what are you. What are you throwing back? It's got a cowboy hat on. Is so wrong. But so right.

[Matt Rogers]

So right.

[Bowen Yang]

But what are you throwing back? Diet Cokes.

[Britney Snow]

Fruit Juju.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, this was a time when there was no limits on soda. Now they've banned soda. It's almost like you can't even say the words Sprite. You can't even say the words Full Fat Coke. They'll come for you.

[Matt Rogers]

They'll come for you.

[Bowen Yang]

They'll come for your kids.

[Britney Snow]

It was freedom back then. We really had it made.

[Bowen Yang]

I just remember being that. Being, like, young and just watching my Nickelodeon and knowing that everyone on my television was at Universal Studios Florida, filmed before a live studio audience. And I would run around in a circle just drinking soda until I passed out. And I had the energy for it and the ability to consume it.

[Matt Rogers]

And you just wanted to be at the Groove so badly.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, especially Tampa. You're talking about Tampa. You aspire to Orlando. Like Long Island.

[Matt Rogers]

Long Island.

[Bowen Yang]

You aspire to Tampa so that you can even get close to. I know, I know. But Florida had a different image then.

[Britney Snow]

It did. And I think because I've known. I know too much, you know?

[Bowen Yang]

You know too much.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Britney Snow]

But here's a weird story is then after I was in the teen clubs in Orlando, I made it to Hollywood. You know, American Dreams is happening. I'm 15 when I do the pilot. And then it gets really dark because there's teen clubs in la.

[Matt Rogers]

Different flavor.

[Britney Snow]

It's a different flavor. Same fruit juice. And same soda.

[Bowen Yang]

But there's different stuff in the fruit juice.

[Britney Snow]

But there's different. There's different people in.

[Bowen Yang]

In the environment, if you know what I mean.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. There was a teen, like, club that. Behind the door. There was, like, an A list portion of this club. Oh, no, it was at Hollywood and Highland. And basically, if you were on, like, a CW show, but at the time it was WB or if you were on any sort of, like, show like Lizzie McGuire or something like that, we were all back there in this room, and we were all in this little way smaller than this room together, just drinking soda.

[Matt Rogers]

Soda.

[Bowen Yang]

Drinking soda. Quote, unquote.

[Matt Rogers]

Quote, unquote Soda.

[Britney Snow]

Definitely soda.

[Bowen Yang]

Definitely soda.

[Britney Snow]

We were 15, 16 years old.

[Matt Rogers]

So does that engender a kind of like. Oh, I get it. There's a hierarchy. There's a stratum, or like, that's. That's. That's. So. I mean, but I guess that happens everywhere. Like, in high school, you got to.

[Britney Snow]

The head of the teen club line if you were on show, which was already so bizarre, but somehow we just knew that we go to the front of the lounge.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Bowen Yang]

So you're talking about, like, this is like, you and Hilary Duff drinking soda in the back.

[Britney Snow]

Lindsay, Rachel Wood, all the kids that were ever on seventh heaven. You know, things like that. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Ms. Beale.

[Britney Snow]

Ms. Beale was never there. She was never. It was David.

[Matt Rogers]

David.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, I love David.

[Britney Snow]

Who isn't into Kingdom Hearts with me?

[Bowen Yang]

That's why.

[Matt Rogers]

That's what I was gonna. You know, I'm gonna ask you about Kingdom Hearts.

[Bowen Yang]

You pointed to Bowen Yang and said Kingdom Hearts. Because you said, I want my video game credit. You want the official. So I've had the Florida portion. Go ahead, take the Kingdom Hearts portion.

[Matt Rogers]

This is a first for me. I have nothing specific prepared for you in the way of questioning what would.

[Britney Snow]

Good.

[Matt Rogers]

This is weird. What would you like to be asked about Kingdom Hearts?

[Britney Snow]

Truly? Anything. Because I do not remember doing it.

[Matt Rogers]

You don't remember doing it?

[Britney Snow]

I think I was 16, and I knew I was doing a video game, and I knew it had to do with Disney.

[Matt Rogers]

Yep.

[Britney Snow]

And that's all I knew.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Britney Snow]

So I. I remember. The only thing that I remember about that time is that the. The guy who was like, the sound editor was really familiar with Christina Aguilera because he had just done Milan and she sang oh, Reflection.

[Bowen Yang]

Famously.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes. Yes.

[Britney Snow]

And I wanted to know everything about Christina Aguilera, and so I just pumped him for information. But other than that, no clue.

[Matt Rogers]

Lovely.

[Britney Snow]

That's my one memory.

[Matt Rogers]

That's how it is in the booth.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Matt Rogers]

And let's get real about the industry. Sometimes when you go. When you go into the vocal booth for these things, you go, sure. I'm playing a cat named Gary. Okay. And I have no memory of it.

[Bowen Yang]

I was in the vocal booth today.

[Matt Rogers]

And do you remember anything you did? I mean, you just told us.

[Bowen Yang]

I remembered using my voice in all kinds of ways for an animated character. I'll black out. Ask me again in 25 years.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Britney Snow]

Thank you guys for making me feel better about this.

[Matt Rogers]

You shouldn't feel any, any way about the Kingdom Hearts of it all. Thank you for being honest about it. But I will let you know how important your character nominee is.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, that's so great.

[Bowen Yang]

You never played it?

[Britney Snow]

No, I've never played the game. I don't even know what I do.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, so you play. So in the world of this game, it's terrible. Not terrible. Oh, please. Not terrible.

[Bowen Yang]

No, because this is going to be thrilling. Paint the picture.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, first of all, you have a stacked cast. Well, I'll get to that later. But in the world of Kingdom Hearts, the crossover game from Disney and Square Enix Famous, one of the best video game sort of distributors and companies of all time, Final Fantasy, it's their sort of mashup. And so Haley Joel Osment plays Sora, Hayden Panettiere plays Kairi, and David plays Riku. Anyway, the three of them start off on this island. They get dispersed when the heartless come and corrupt the soul of their planet. Now, in the process of getting your heart corrupted, you get a vessel of yourself. A copy of yourself comes into the world named a nobody.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, I do remember saying these.

[Matt Rogers]

So you are Hayden Panettiere's nobody.

[Bowen Yang]

You are Hayden Panettiere's nobody.

[Britney Snow]

I mean, wasn't the first time.

[Bowen Yang]

No, no, no, no. She was like, I wanted to save the world and be the cheerleader.

[Britney Snow]

Definitely at that time. Hell, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course, that was the role of American Dream.

[Britney Snow]

And you wanna know some interesting facts?

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Britney Snow]

Hayden Panettieri and I have known each other since I was 12 years old. She was. Played my little sister on a soap opera.

[Matt Rogers]

No kidding.

[Bowen Yang]

Was it Guiding Light?

[Britney Snow]

Guiding Light.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow.

[Matt Rogers]

You were on Guiding Light?

[Britney Snow]

Yes, that was my first jobs. And she, she was my little sister. And we, we knew each other very well. Yeah, a lot of scenes together. And so. And she was like a baby person when we were on Guiding Light. I don't know, the. The difference between 8 and 12 is so vast for some reason.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Britney Snow]

So I Just was so down to her. And then when she was on Heroes, I was like, oh, she's like a human.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Britney Snow]

So Kingdom Hearts, I did feel like, oh, this makes sense. Like we're playing Connected again. So it makes. Yeah. I'm Michelle. Oh, no, I'm nobody.

[Matt Rogers]

No, no, no.

[Britney Snow]

I'm the shell of the person.

[Matt Rogers]

You are Kyrie.

[Bowen Yang]

Kyrie. Shell of the person.

[Britney Snow]

That tracks.

[Matt Rogers]

No, no, no, this is. This is. No, I'm about to give one last. I won't. I won't dwell too much on this. I just. I've always wanted to tell you, like, how thrilling watching you, because now I.

[Bowen Yang]

Feel like I really learned.

[Matt Rogers]

So Kairi is so special. So these three kids, Sora, Riku and Kairi, are very special. And so Kairi gets turned into a heartless. And so then she turns back to a human. But then Namine, your character, enters the world, and because she is Kairi's nobody, she has the special power to rearrange people's memories.

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

And you are. Namine gets recruited by the bad guys to basically, like, refabricate Sora. Haley Joel Osment's memory. And it's a profound thing.

[Britney Snow]

This is, I mean, kind of ironic that you're speaking of memory, because that jolted my memory.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Because I remember having to do a scene about that. About how I got his memory back.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Britney Snow]

Wow. Haven't thought about that in a.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course, this is a big part of Bo Nang's formative culture.

[Matt Rogers]

Huge. Oh, no. And there's still a very, very active community of people who adore that. It's a formative, formative piece of pop culture history and video. It's one of the most pop cultural, like, video game items ever. And so. And then Haley Joe Osmond's Nobody Is Play is Roxas is played by Jesse McCartney. It's like it was. It was such.

[Bowen Yang]

It was who's who of the stars of.

[Matt Rogers]

It was kids who were in the A list of the LA clubs. It was. It was all the soda drinkers.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. We were back there drinking soda.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

A lot of these names were drinking the soda.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

Drinking the soda might be title of drinking the soda.

[Matt Rogers]

What was your order? Do you remember?

[Britney Snow]

I mean, I just remember being so excited to go back in this room.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

That, like, I don't even know if I drank soda. I think I was just looking around, like, I too, could one day be on the wb, you know, like, that was the pinnacle for me.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Britney Snow]

American dreams. I know I wanted to be with the Frog.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, oh, my God, the frog and the top hat.

[Bowen Yang]

But speaking of, we were just talking before we started about how, like, when you're in Florida and year. Because this was also the time of Mickey Mouse Club.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

That was something that you wanted, but were just a smidge too young.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, that was. I aspired to be. That's all I wanted was to be on the Mickey Mouse Club. I would practice. I would tell my mom what I was going to do in my audition. And, yeah, I was too young. Just think of where I could have been.

[Bowen Yang]

But then you booked Prestige tv.

[Matt Rogers]

There you go.

[Britney Snow]

I mean, not. Not right away. Oh, you mean American Dreams.

[Bowen Yang]

I think American Dreams. Like, I just remember watching it with my family and it being, like, so dramatically potent. I would be so curious to go back and watch it now.

[Matt Rogers]

Ye.

[Bowen Yang]

Your older brother. And that was hot.

[Britney Snow]

It's weird to say he was.

[Bowen Yang]

This is a memory. I just jugged my own memory of it. I was like. I think he was one of my first, like, crushes.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

I think he might have been one of my first things of like. Like when. Like, when a dog sees, like, sees.

[Matt Rogers]

When a dog realizes it's gay.

[Bowen Yang]

You know, when a dog realizes it's gay because it sees the older brother for American Dreams. That was kind of me. That was. It was very.

[Matt Rogers]

That.

[Bowen Yang]

It was very.

[Matt Rogers]

That the ears.

[Bowen Yang]

One of the best things about that show was one of its features. One of the things that made it serrated was that a different guest star would come in and play a guest star from American Bandstand. And we were just talking about a couple. Like, Ashanti was Dionne Warwick. Like, you know, Kelly Clarkson was Brenda Lee, I think in one of the first episodes.

[Matt Rogers]

What?

[Britney Snow]

Yes. In, like, the third episode, she played Brenda Lee. We talk about it every time I go on the show. I'm like, can you believe that that was one of your first jobs?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. I mean, she had won.

[Britney Snow]

She just won American Idol.

[Bowen Yang]

So do you have any memories of, like, particular people coming through? Do you have a favorite memory of someone? Because at the time, you're, like, fully the star of the show, but also, like, a kid who's got idol worship.

[Britney Snow]

Usher came on and was Marvin Gaye, and that was really cool. He was so lovely. And he, like, danced a little bit, and I remember that that was really cool. I also. Everyone was so lovely. There was, like, two people that I won't name.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

That broke my soul because they were sort of mean. And I was like, you're getting to play an Iconic person. Like, this is a cool little job.

[Bowen Yang]

When you're mean, you're mean.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. Who wasn't mean, though? Who I just sat behind at the VMAs, which is a bizarre sentence to say was. Paris Hilton played. She was a Barbara. Barbara from I Dream of Jeannie.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Barbara Eden.

[Matt Rogers]

Barbara Eden.

[Bowen Yang]

Thanks, Doug.

[Britney Snow]

I was like.

[Bowen Yang]

I think he just perked up like a dog over there about Barbara Eden. Oh, that's a good one.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Really?

[Britney Snow]

She was lovely, actually. Like, really lovely.

[Matt Rogers]

I mean, you were getting this, like, pretty cool glimpse, like, on maybe not a weekly basis or whatever the cadence was, but, like, you get this glimpse into, like, how, like, different case studies on, like, how fame works or how it affects certain people, depending on, like, who comes in. Right.

[Britney Snow]

Definitely. And at that time, there was no social media, which I think was sort of a detriment to the show, because I think if it was in a different time, people with that sort of following would have blown the show up, because everybody who was coming on the show would have wanted to, you know, gram about it and tweet about it, whatever. But back then, it was just like, oh, coming next Sunday, get to see Usher being Marvin Gaye, you know, and so you really got to see who the inner workings of their team was and how they conducted themselves on set, because they were only there for such a short period of time that you saw such, like, a glimpse into who they were. And then they left. And we were always sort of like, wow, that was a surreal thing. And much like what we were doing on the show, we were sort of meta in that way of. Of being real American Bandstand audience members being like, oh, my God, there's these icons.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally. Do you think that grounds you?

[Bowen Yang]

I feel like.

[Matt Rogers]

Cause, like, I think the. The feature that I sort of. Not the feature. I mean, I don't want to talk about you in that term.

[Britney Snow]

You can talk about me while I'm sitting here for.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure. Okay.

[Bowen Yang]

But.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure. But it's like, I'm always so struck by how grounded you are. Like, there's something. So that's really just. I don't know, so stoic, but warm. But, you know, I think. I think that is a pretty remarkable thing. Every time I hold the center.

I have to say, like, just to speak about like the next like thing that happened was, was Hairspray before or after Pitch Perfect?

[Britney Snow]

It was before.

[Matt Rogers]

After John Tucker.

[Britney Snow]

John Tucker was first. John Tucker was.

[Bowen Yang]

And then you get to really act with Ashanti.

[Britney Snow]

I really acted with Ashanti. I love Ashanti. Her laugh is exactly the same. It's so like perfect. Like a little cute cackle. And I just adore her. And she at the time was just starting to date Nelly. Which talk about a cultural phenomenon. We were at dinner one time and I could barely keep it together. I was just like, yeah, it's Nelly. But no, it was a really, it was a really great time. But I think, to go back to, I guess the original question was that I went through a lot of these types of movies really early on, but I always was sort of struggling with something at the time, or went really up and down and had all these different obstacles going on in my personal life that I never really was present with what was going on or saw it for what it really was. And so in hindsight, it actually made me really grounded because I couldn't get my head up, up in the clouds or, or see it from another macro view. I was too busy just trying to keep my. Together. Yeah, yeah. Doesn't bring it down, but.

[Matt Rogers]

No, no, it's not bringing you down at all.

[Bowen Yang]

Especially because, like, a lot of the things that I think, well, for example, John Tucker and then Pitch Perfect, you're around a lot of, you're, you're in great ensembles with people that are close to your age. So I would imagine that that's like, kind of cool because you can make friends and get in touch with people, but you're also all kind of have the same POV on this thing that's happening to us. So that has to be like, a little bit, like.

[Britney Snow]

Definitely. It's always really helpful. And I think something that I've innately had about me since I was a kid is that I'm pretty perceptive and self aware almost to a fault sometimes. So I do see, like, what other people are taking in and how they're reacting to what the movie's doing or what they're getting from things, and I just. Yeah, and then I sort of like, go about what I want to do, if that makes any sense.

[Matt Rogers]

Totally.

[Britney Snow]

But having that sort of duality of knowing that someone else is doing something over here and I don't necessarily need to, has always been really helpful for me. Being like, we're just gonna let them go there.

[Matt Rogers]

You're right, though. It is this thing that either is discombobulating or really grounding the duality that you're talking about, which is like being in ensembles of people close to your age, including up until now, up until Hunting Wives.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. You know, it's actually really nice. I mean, it kind of makes me believe that people want me to see, like, see me in movies that have to do with like, female friendship or like community, or that I'm always in a group of people. I mean, it's better than just me playing, like, I don't know, a castaway character and just Being alone in all my movies and people being like, I don't really want to see her interacting with anybody. You know, I like that I'm always around other people in all these movies, it's shows that maybe I'm friendly.

[Bowen Yang]

I feel like. Also, the thing is, like, I believe it was like Tina Fey who once said, like, you need a really nice person to play a really mean person. That's why you were such a good Amber Von Tassel, is because it was like, you did it so well, but, like, you in the seats weren't snapped out of the movie and like, it. Because it. It wasn't that deep, but, like, you were so. And also, like, she does get a little. No, she doesn't get redemption in the movie. She gets redemption in the Broadway musical.

[Britney Snow]

She does get a little bit. Not redemption, but I think she has a change of heart towards the end.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Because she sort of. Without the power struggle of her and her mom, she sort of sees it from a new.

[Matt Rogers]

And it's.

[Britney Snow]

I mean, it's. At the very end of the movie, you can't stop to be like, maybe Amber's having a different perspective. And then the movie's over.

[Bowen Yang]

Cause did they cut in the movie? Did they cut when you. And when Amber and Velma sing in you Can't Stop the Beat, or is it.

[Britney Snow]

They cut that?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, See, I knew they cut it because in the musical, it's this, like, moment where the Von Tussles, like, kind of fully get brought over to the other side. And I remember, truly, one of the moments in culture for me was seeing that Broadway musical and just Laura Bell Bundy on the high harmony of that psycho.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, crazy, crazy, crazy.

[Britney Snow]

Redible.

[Bowen Yang]

Did you see that?

[Britney Snow]

Yes, I've obviously seen her. But, you know Laura talking about Guiding Light. Laura played my aunt.

[Matt Rogers]

What?

[Britney Snow]

Guiding Light? Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Laura Bell Bundy did.

[Britney Snow]

Yes. And Laura and I are very dear friends. And so getting to take over, you know, or passing the baton in a way to me for to do the movie was sort of really, really nice. And she gave me her full blessing, which was. Is huge because I can't sing like Laura Bell Bundy. Like, she's unbelievable.

[Matt Rogers]

You're a wonderful singer.

[Britney Snow]

I'm not, but I. But. But, like, as like a Mariah Carey.

[Bowen Yang]

Of Broadway, of course, she. I'll never forget that sound.

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Because it was the first time I heard, like, live. I think it might have been my first or second Broadway show. And just them. Absolutely. Her launching that High Harmony, I think, like, like, changed something about My life.

[Matt Rogers]

It was another. It was another.

[Bowen Yang]

It was. But it was like again, it was the dog realizing he was gay. You know, when a dog hears Laura Bell Bunny do the high harmony, realizes it's gay. But. Yeah, that.

[Matt Rogers]

We have to point out something though. Guiding Light and just soaps in general. It's like the, The. The. The longer I like, absorb knowledge about this business, the more I'm convinced that that is where, like the, the flames that forge these actors is like no other flame in the world. What a weird metaphor. But it's like you.

[Britney Snow]

But it's like catching on fire.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, well, you and Hayden and Laura. But also, like, you talked. We had Lisa Rinna on earlier and she's obviously a soap queen. And like, our friend Sarah Sherman was on General Hospital and she's just like. It's that thing where, like, if you ask a soap star to cry, they ask, which eye?

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

You know, it's like, do you know.

[Bowen Yang]

The witch eye thing?

[Britney Snow]

I can't do it out of which eye, but I can cry.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course you can. Obviously.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Every scene in Hunting Wives, we turn. Our house just turns to each other and goes, britney, mother.

[Bowen Yang]

You know, there's a million things to talk to you about, but, like, let's just talk about Hunting Wives because it's getting honored.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

So also, I have some bones to pick with you. Well, when I listen to the snow.

[Bowen Yang]

Bunnies episode Britney Snow Bunny, we are.

[Britney Snow]

Hop hopping, which I will put on my tombstone. I, I did notice that at first. You. You love.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

You are unsure of the macros.

[Matt Rogers]

And Rebecca and I talked about this during the Emmys because I, I will say Rebecca, Katie Lowe was Britney Snow. Molle Aukerman, Chrissy Matt's like, you. You were the belles of the ball.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

And, and you and I did have a. A really, I thought, poignant conversation about how, like, it was so interesting to be at one of those parties from the perspective of. Cause you were like, I've been at these parties when it is really weird if, like, you get asked, like, what are you working on? You're like, oh, I'm just kind of. Yeah, it's like, weird to be in that space. And like, that's just like the whole industry. Ritz Small in that space. Right. It's like that's like the broader scope of, like, this business. It's like, well, if you're in between stuff, it's. It's a little weird to, like, communicate that and you're not sure how to feel about this. But anyway, Rebecca and I kind of talked it out, and I was like, thank you for letting me, like, come to that understanding and that realization in real time for myself on the podcast. Cause I was like, I don't know what this is, what the show is doing.

[Britney Snow]

No, but it's not really. I think a lot of people had.

[Matt Rogers]

That reaction, but I think the terminus is pretty broadly and generally like, oh, my God, this show is bonkers camp. Like, it's good nutritional value, I think.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, I know it's nutritional, but it's definitely. And you know what's funny is that and Rebecca will attest to this, we weren't necessarily trying to do, like, high, high candy. Sure we were. It was sort of somewhere in the middle. And then as we were kind of doing the show, I sort of, like, realized it was sort of like when, you know, like A Beautiful Mind, when things start, like, coming into view, where I was like, oh, we're not really making big little lies, are we?

[Bowen Yang]

No. But you know what? You playing it like it was is why it works. Because you, again, hold the center.

[Britney Snow]

That was a conscious choice. And sometimes it didn't work out, but I did feel like if I lose. If I lose the plot, if I'm sort of over the top in a way, then you don't have a groundedness at all. But sometimes I do wish that I pushed it a little bit, but I think that that's what next season is for. A little bit is.

[Bowen Yang]

Now you're gonna crack after what happened in the finale.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. She's crazy.

[Bowen Yang]

She's not.

[Britney Snow]

This is a woman who's, you know, almost 40, and she's like, I must keep myself caged. And if I don't, then everything will unravel.

[Bowen Yang]

That's why I don't have for hysteria.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. I have the capacity to. To really go off the rails. And so I have to keep myself really small, which is why I played it pretty, like, small in general. And then I would have these big moments, but then without them, you're kind of like, she's just sort of small.

[Matt Rogers]

Interesting.

[Bowen Yang]

Honestly, though, it kind of makes the voicemail scene jump out even more.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, that's probably true.

[Matt Rogers]

Because it's an excellent scene. Because that's an excellent scene.

[Britney Snow]

I loved that. Because we've all left that voicemail.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Or we wish we did.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. Truly.

[Bowen Yang]

I sometimes will record it and send it to a friend. I recently.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

I recently had a gnarly thought I wanted to tell someone.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Because I found out someone did something and I recorded the voicemail. I recorded a voice memo and sent it to our friend Jared just to try it out. And he was like, I didn't know what the context was and thought you were talking to me. And I listened to the first five seconds and had to lay down. He was like, now I understand you cannot send this. I was like, oh, my God, I'm sorry. You should have read the other text. I was like, this is not to you.

[Britney Snow]

Wait, that's really great hindsight. Or not hindsight, but, like, foresight to send it to somebody first. I don't have that within me.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, I. I don't know. I probably prob was a little bit, like, too much of me to just cold send it to Jared, but honestly have me having ex. Like, put it out there.

[Matt Rogers]

It.

[Bowen Yang]

It. It did something for me.

[Britney Snow]

So pro tip, that is a therapy tactic that you're supposed to do that where you exercise and you get it out, but you don't really necessarily send it. I don't always subscribe to that. Like, the writing it down. But you don't actually send it to them. No, I want the forcefulness of them reading it.

[Bowen Yang]

I wanted to ask about, like, hunting wives, obviously, a little bit more, but just because you talk, talk. We're talking about this. Like, I wanted to ask about Love is louder. Yeah, so, yeah, that's still ongoing.

[Britney Snow]

I don't work with Love is louder anymore. No. I founded it in 2010 with a friend of mine, and then it kind of became a different thing in 2000, in 2020. But I have a new charity that I started with a friend of mine called September Letters that I started in 2020 that is sort of in the same way where it's like a therapeutic letter writing experience where.

[Matt Rogers]

Speaking of writing it down.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, writing it down. But we do all sorts of different types of letter writing, but it comes from the idea that I actually article when I was going through a really hard time when I was a teenager. And that article gave me sort of like, the hope that I needed that someone else had what I had. Because in the 90s, when you're a teenager, no one's talking about depression, eating disorders, anxiety, anything like that. And in a fitness magazine, this girl was talking about it. And so I ripped out that article and carried in my back pocket as, like, a symbol that I was gonna be okay. And then later, when I got a lot of recovery, I did a magazine article. And the magazine article had come out, and I had talked about how that article really infused my recovery and this girl at a coffee shop saw me, and she turned around, she started crying, and she was holding my article in her back pocket. And so September Letters was born out of the idea that you sharing your story might just be really small to you, but it might be the story that someone needs to feel like there's hope. So that's amazing.

[Bowen Yang]

That's why you gotta write it down.

[Britney Snow]

Well. Or at least share it in a way that sense makes. Makes someone else feel seen.

[Bowen Yang]

I guess that's so important.

[Matt Rogers]

But you're just amplifying the power of sharing by, like, within that store. Like, you have, like, this nesting doll thing where it's like someone else shared a story, so I'm gonna share mine.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

And then. And then this girl at the coffee shop has your. Your sort of version of that that is, like, encased in this other person's.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. It was a true, like, pay it forward chain mail type of moment where, yeah. You think you're doing this one little small thing, and it turns out to be really helpful to somebody that you might not even know down the line.

[Bowen Yang]

Yep.

[Britney Snow]

So that's. That's what I continuously work on as well. September Letters. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Beautiful. Gosh. Chain mail being, like, being the thing that your parents would do over email, like, that was, like, the online behavior that your parents would partake in where you go, oh, mom, no. But now it's like sharing an article about how, like.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, you know, we're all doing chain mail. Really?

[Matt Rogers]

We're all doing a version of chain mail that is. Yeah. A little. A little fucked. Wait, we're. I. I do want to go back to hunting wife's.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

I want to open the floor before we ask you more about hunting wives and the question. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

What was your other bone?

[Matt Rogers]

What are your. What are your other bones? And also, TikTok things that are maybe getting at you.

[Britney Snow]

Right.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm throwing a lot at you.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. Yeah. All the things that are annoying. No, you. You were never knowing about hunting wives. I. I was actually in agreement with a lot of. A lot of the things that you said.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm on board.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

So first of all, it's fun. It. That's. That's why it's so great, is because it's fun and it's, like, so committed to, like, I felt so safe in every episode because I'm like, these women are tearing it up. I'm telling you, I am such a fan of everyone. In particular, I want to shout out, Katie Lowe's. Katie Lowe's rocks, man. And I. When she came in with that hair blown out, like, and she was just. It's behind her eyes. Like, she is. Is in it. And for her last line after she shot in the chest to be, you cunts.

[Britney Snow]

It's the best way to die.

[Bowen Yang]

Come on. I was like, that's when I was like, this is the best show.

[Matt Rogers]

It's the best.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, come on. And. But now I'm just upset because so many of the women are dead.

[Britney Snow]

I know. And Katie Lowe's and I got very close and I just think she's the most special human. I mean, all of the women are. But I'm very, very upset that she's dead.

[Bowen Yang]

Can she come back? Like, I feel like the Hunting Wives is a show where she could have a twin.

[Matt Rogers]

She could have a twin.

[Britney Snow]

We've already talked about that. I don't think that's a possibility. But we do. We like, what would her name be? Jill. Is it Nell?

[Bowen Yang]

Jill.

[Britney Snow]

Nell, Jill.

[Bowen Yang]

Her evil sister. It's me, Jell. That's. I want to be in the room. I do think that my pitch for Hunting Wife season two.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Is that Jamie Ray Newman's character in. In with her new show comes on Las Culturistas and we play ourselves and she gets us to be right wing. Yes.

[Britney Snow]

Wait, I just got chills.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And now I kind of like ruined it. But literally, it's like. You ever see monster? The Lyle and Eric Menendez thing?

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

So you know the oner with Cooper Koch when he's like doing the thing? I think it's that. But it's lost. It's a 90 minute episode of Hunting Wives, which is Jamie Ray Newman playing her character and us as Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. And by the end, you see how powerful she is because she got Lost coach. To be like. Yeah, for sure.

[Matt Rogers]

To fully go right.

[Britney Snow]

I mean, I feel like she could do that.

[Bowen Yang]

She's really good.

[Britney Snow]

She's a really good. No, not only is she an amazing actor, but like that character.

[Bowen Yang]

The character.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

She pegged her husband in the butt. So don't tell me about the show being, you know, like. Like when I. When I heard the. The dildo come out of the butt, you know, we rewound it 15 times.

[Britney Snow]

I remember listening to that. Oh, you guys break that down.

[Matt Rogers]

We folied it.

[Bowen Yang]

We refolied tone. And it was the most graphic anal sex either of us experienced. And we were in P town when we watched it.

[Britney Snow]

I'm not taking that as a bad honor.

[Bowen Yang]

The pr. Am I taking it out.

[Matt Rogers]

No, no, let. Let Britney react to that. Come on.

[Britney Snow]

I believe you.

[Matt Rogers]

At what point did the Beautiful Mind moment happen for you while you were making the show where you were like, wait a minute.

[Britney Snow]

It was pretty early on. I mean, it was. It was really. I mean, once you see Katie Lowe's and. And everybody's, you know, Malin and the wit, you know, it was sort of immediate, but in rehearsals and stuff, not aware.

[Matt Rogers]

Not aware.

[Britney Snow]

Once we got on set and I sort of seen the shots and the color, I was like, yes, okay, I know. I know what we're doing.

[Bowen Yang]

This is. Why.

[Matt Rogers]

Are you someone who watches dailies, or do you. Do you watch, like, playback? Like. Like, what's on them? Like, do you watch what's on the monitor?

[Britney Snow]

Not really. I do think I. Sometimes it's helpful to just at the very beginning. But I'm not a person that is micromanaging myself because I'll go insane, of course. And I always think I can do better. So there's never a time that I'm going to be like, nailed it.

[Matt Rogers]

Nailed it. Totally.

[Britney Snow]

So I'll always want to go again.

[Matt Rogers]

Of course.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

But I. But I do think that's helpful just to get the. It does inform, like, the, you know, the screen picture of. It just kind of just informs the tone. As an actor, you're like, gotcha. I can lock in to what this.

[Britney Snow]

Is, but I do think from the very beginning, there was a very clear understanding of the. Of what we were making in terms of, like, the women that were on the show, what kind of women we were going to be that were, like, not 20 years old, and we're having these sex scenes. Like, we're in our late 30s, 40s, and we're going to be, like, powerful, and this is for the woman gaze. And we're gonna, like, go for it. That was never a question. We were never, like, shy about, oh, I wonder if this is gonna be too much. Like, I wonder if we can pull.

[Bowen Yang]

Back this scene when we get to it. I won't raise anything now, but I might be a little uncomfortable. No, you guys have to be going for it.

[Britney Snow]

We knew going into it, and we signed up for that. And I think that that's something that we're proud of that, like, it should be.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, my God. My God, those are amazing.

[Britney Snow]

Hollywood wants to kind of disregard women after the age of 32 for sex scenes, specifically nudity and. And things that are sort of like, women coming into their own sexual, like, prowess. And I think that this was just like, no, we're gonna still have this. Be very prevalent in a. In a woman's life, even after she's of a Hollywood age of, you know.

[Matt Rogers]

Meanwhile, they're the most sensual, sexy sex scenes I've ever seen. Like, y'.

[Bowen Yang]

All.

[Matt Rogers]

Y'. All Eating box is, like, the craziest, most.

[Bowen Yang]

That.

[Matt Rogers]

It's the horniest I've ever.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm so Mullen when she eats box. Like, come on, baby. Like, you know what I mean? Like, the way that she. Baby, like, the way that she. I know. It's. It's. Trust me.

[Britney Snow]

Wait. That was really hot.

[Bowen Yang]

No, I'm Malin, and that's just the truth. Oh, God.

[Britney Snow]

My God.

[Bowen Yang]

I have to meet her because I know I'm her. You know?

[Britney Snow]

I know.

[Bowen Yang]

You ever see someone and you're like, I'm them, so I have to meet them. For me, it's Malin and Kate Hudson.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

That is a really good comp.

[Bowen Yang]

All three of us need to have the filthiest martinis that you guys would never leave.

[Britney Snow]

I feel.

[Bowen Yang]

We wouldn't.

[Britney Snow]

We would try to be. I want to be there. But then I feel like I'd leave after a while.

[Bowen Yang]

You would. You would get tired, and it's just because that conversation would come up that you'd be like, I'm not getting into this with these.

[Britney Snow]

No. I'd probably get too drunk and just want to take a nap.

[Bowen Yang]

I know.

[Matt Rogers]

We're so the same. Britney and I are so the same, y'.

[Britney Snow]

All.

[Bowen Yang]

You really are. Bowen is the king of, like, I'm tired.

[Britney Snow]

I'm going home, but I'm going to rage until I get tired for sure.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Britney Snow]

That was. That was my, like, M.O. on the pitch Perfect set is like, you guys were young once we got rage.

[Bowen Yang]

So you were the ringleader.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, I was definitely the ringleader.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Especially in pitch perfect one. I was like, we're all 25. We're doing a movie about singing and dancing. We're going out.

[Bowen Yang]

We gotta go. Are you guys still in touch?

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, we're all very close.

[Bowen Yang]

Let me ask, is there a Pitch Perfect group chat? I feel like that's the most, like, news question. I'm allowed to say that because they're not. They don't exist.

Rip. Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, I love them while they were here.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, pretty recently. And not on purpose. I think everybody's just busy older now.

No, nothing went down. Skyler had a birthday recently.

I think if you've listened to Las Culturistas, you know by now that we have Helix mattresses and you know that we love them. I'm telling you, I can't get out of bed. And not just because of how weary I feel about the world.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely.

[Bowen Yang]

It's because I'm so cozy in my Helix Midnight mattress, which I have because I took an incomparable sleep test and it was able to tell me exactly how I should be feeling at night.

[Matt Rogers]

I think if you've been listening to Lost Cult, you know that Helix mattresses are as lost as gay.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, movie nights with your partner. That's taking place on my Helix Midnight.

[Matt Rogers]

It was a perfect mattress.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, I wanted to ask you about Adam Shankman too. So I, I was on, I was on set with Adam working on this thing and he was like, oh, Britney's the best. And he told the story about how you auditioned for Hairspray. Yeah, it was a process.

[Britney Snow]

It was a process. I actually told this on like a talk show or something like that, but it was the audition for Hairspray. This is sort of like very indicative of who I am, but I'm a pretty anxious auditioner. I've had to go to much hypnotherapy about auditioning.

[Bowen Yang]

I want to ask about your hypnotist.

[Britney Snow]

I love my Hypnotist.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay. I need to know.

[Britney Snow]

She saved my life.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay, we're getting into that right after this.

[Britney Snow]

I love her, but auditioning for me, it's not the fact that I am not a bad auditioner. And it's not even. There's something that happens with the pressure. Bad test taker. I'm just really bad at, like, the battle of my mind. That's like, you have one chance to do this if you. You know. So that audition, I was only, like, 20 years old. I. I bombed the. The audition. Like, I really, really did badly. I got in my head, and I knew I could do it, and I knew I was right for the role. And Laura Bell already gave me the stamp of approval. And I had gone to a. A psychic two years before when I was filming John Tucker Must Die. And the psychic told me that I was going to play the daughter of the iconic blonde woman who was very famous. And she was like, it's gonna be two years from now. And I was like, that's so specific.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, they're real.

[Britney Snow]

I mean, I have something to say about psychics in a second. But then I put that away. I write it down, and I put it away, and then this audition comes up. Adam calls me because he had directed me in Pacifier, the Pacif. Yeah, we won't get into that. And. And. And so we were already friends. And he called me, and he was like, you know, that just wasn't your best. And I was like, I know. I'm sorry I let you down, you know, and he was like, it's okay. Like, I still love you. But it's really sad because Michelle Pfeiffer just signed on to play Velma, and she's so iconic, and you guys look so similar. And I was like, iconic. And then I was like, wait a second, I need to go back to my journal. And I looked up, and by the time that hairspray would have come out, it would have been two years.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow.

[Britney Snow]

So I called Adam back and I said, I know this is crazy, but. But a psychic told me that I was gonna play the daughter of an iconic, legendary blonde woman, and it's too weird for this not to be true. Can I just audition again one more time? And he was like, you're the craziest human being alive. You've either lost your mind, or this is gonna be really funny story one day. I'm gonna let you audition again. And so he let me audition again, and I nailed the audition. And you know why I nailed it is because I had that sort of. Of like, talking in my head. That voice in my head, psychic or not, that was like, this is meant to be. You already have it.

[Matt Rogers]

You have that subconscious underpinning where you're like, it's fine. But this is the perfect. This is why I love this story, though, because I did. I did see that interview, and it blew my mind where you. Where you told the story. It's the perfect marriage of, like, okay, it's whatever. It's predestined. But also, you had to pick up.

[Bowen Yang]

The phone and call him back, though. You needed.

[Matt Rogers]

But you took that information. You were like, I'm gonna take this into my own hands. It's like free will and predeterminism.

[Britney Snow]

And that's why, like, when people have heard that story and they're like, I don't believe in psychics. You're promoting, you know, And I'm like, whatever. It doesn't matter if you believe in psychics or not. Who cares? What. What really goes to show is that what really helped me was the fact that I wanted to take a chance on myself. I knew I could do it, and I just needed another opportunity, and I needed to be my own, like, biggest cheerleader and to do it again. And I think that everybody going into something like an audition, with the foresight that it's already in your hands, you just have to take it is. So that's the recipe for doing well in any sort of pressure situation.

[Matt Rogers]

If you need us to pretend to be a psychic, anytime you're in doubt, I am one. No, really?

[Bowen Yang]

No. But I do think I have, like, something.

[Britney Snow]

I bet you do.

[Bowen Yang]

I have something.

[Matt Rogers]

What do you see? What do you see for Britney?

[Britney Snow]

Greatness.

[Bowen Yang]

I was gonna say greatness. That's crazy. Wow. That's crazy. I'm telling you, there's something out of here. Literally, if Marlon was here, this would be a. Even more of a turn up. Absolutely. Because. Because that. I see greatness in our future episode with her, too.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, absolutely. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, yeah, but, like, this is. It's all. It's all cooking. Wait, but tell me your thing about psychics. Like what. What addition? Like you said. You said you want to say something about psychics.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, no, that was my thing I was gonna say, but I do love psychics. I am a psychics.

[Bowen Yang]

I think that. I think that it really obviously depends on the one, but. Okay, I'm gonna share this. I saw one that used to be my writing teacher in college. Like, he was at Tisch. He was my dramatic writing Teacher, like, he was like a craft of writing teacher. And we knew that he was also like, he speaks to spirit, like in some way. He's like, like a, more of a reader. He wouldn't use the word psychic. Medium. He's like a medium. Yes.

[Britney Snow]

That's, that's it.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

So years have passed. It's been, I don't know how long since we were in College. Like 13 years. 13 years. I finally like, I'm like, I'm gonna look him up and I'm gonna get a reading with him. I look him up, his. It's like an eight month waiting list.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh.

[Bowen Yang]

And I'm like, okay. So I get on the waiting list, literally eight months later. I, I, I've forgotten about it. I get an email.

[Matt Rogers]

When was this?

[Bowen Yang]

It's time. This is like three months ago. And he goes. And I sit down with him and he goes, where do I know you from? And I was like, you actually were my teacher in college. I've been waiting years to have a reading with you. He was like, oh, my God. I was, he was like, how are you? I was like, I mean, he was like, how's it going? I was like, I mean, I guess I don't want to tell you too much, right? But like, but he was like, well, he's, he's so he goes, you're right, you're right. Don't say anything. Don't say anything. So he starts going, etc. He's like, you are successful. He's like. I was like, yeah. I mean like, I kind of like am doing it in the entertainment industry. Etc. I'm proud to tell you that I kind of got like a little emotional. And so then he was like, you are single and that's what you're, that's what you want to talk to me about? And I was just like, yeah. And he goes, September. He goes like, small blonde. He's coming in September.

[Britney Snow]

Story.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't know the story, but I might, My jaw has dropped because, because it happened.

[Britney Snow]

It's happening. I figured that was.

[Bowen Yang]

And he goes, and, and well, he was, he's like, he's like, that's.

[Matt Rogers]

You're the petite blonde.

[Bowen Yang]

No. Yeah, but that, that, I didn't tell you that. But I, I haven't been saying it out loud. That's the first. I know I, I may have even said too much, but like, that's really. And I've had them before. When you said that, I was like, I want to get into this because I do believe, believe that there are People with extra senses. I mean, we had Tyler Henry on this show.

[Matt Rogers]

We had Tyler Henry on the show. Talk about your hypnotist.

[Britney Snow]

I do love my hypnotist. I mean, I'm, you know, I feel like this is so like woo, woo. That I, that I really do believe in though, especially hypnotism. I think is, is the way that she described it to me, which I thought was kind of interesting is like. Because she does it where you listen to it every night as you go to bed. So you're in that sort of like Peter Pan, not asleep, not awake, like dream state. And so when someone, you know says something to you, you're more susceptible to what it's saying. So you start believing it because you don't have your conscious voice saying, I don't think that's true.

[Matt Rogers]

Wow.

[Britney Snow]

So then after a while you start to just take it in as fact. Like when you're falling asleep and you're sort of half awake and there's football on the TV and all of a sudden you're having a dream about football, but you don't know anything about football.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Britney Snow]

Like that is sort of this mechanism in your brain that sort of rewires your, like your subconscious. And so after a while you're, you're listening to it as you're, as you're dreaming and so your subconscious starts to take it in. And that's what really worked for me. It was like going into places and just not having any sort of like fear about what the outcome was gonna be, but just like actually having fun in the moment.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And that completely rewired my. It sounds bad to say rewired, but it, but it made me take a new thought pattern in terms of like what, what I thought was going to be true.

[Matt Rogers]

That's a rewiring for sure. If it is calming you down on like a somatic level. Like going into these situations where you would feel amount. An amount of pressure.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

You're not feeling that, that, that's that's incredibly. That that is something that's happening up here entirely.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. And I, I do feel like it was whether or not, you know, and maybe it's through osmosis of, I don't know, like it could be nothing over time either way. But does it matter? You're doing something like. I don't know if it matters necessarily as well as it's like helping you and you feel better.

[Bowen Yang]

Absolutely. I think also it's just like it's, it's what you want to get out of it?

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what I mean? Like. Like, I. I think it's. Did you go for something specific or.

[Britney Snow]

It was for. So. I mean, this is such a downer conversation. But I took a break from acting from 23 to 25.

[Bowen Yang]

It was in that period.

[Britney Snow]

It was. And I had to get my shit together. It was like, you know, I'd been a kid actor for so long that I really needed to, like, rework some stuff in terms of getting better. And then when I was 25, I was going back to auditioning again, and the pressure was too much for my brain because I was like, you had your career at 23. Can you get it back? And I didn't know if I could. And so I developed this really fun anxiety disorder where I couldn't speak in public. And so I would go to speak in auditions, and I would actually not be able to, like, make. It would, like, stop. My body would just, like, take over, and I would be so nervous that I couldn't speak. And so I went for that. So I could. And now I walk into auditions or I walk into, like, public speaking or the Emmys presenting at the Emmys.

[Matt Rogers]

Right?

[Britney Snow]

I mean, when I was 25, that would not have been able to happen, you know? And it's. It's really due to that, I think.

[Bowen Yang]

Think when you think about, like, what. What about it made you nervous? Was it just, like, the things I say are gonna get me are gonna be listened to and then judged, or is it just, like, the idea of being in front of people?

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, it was the. It was the idea that I was gonna mess it up, that I was gonna mess up. You're gonna mess up. You're gonna mess up. You're gonna mess up. You're gonna mess up. And then I would. But if I just took that voice away, then I just am present. And I'm not thinking that, but I had to.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, it was work.

[Britney Snow]

25, you know? What a time.

[Bowen Yang]

What a time.

[Matt Rogers]

I mean, I just. I think I said it on the pod. Like, Ewan Mullen was. Was the highlight of the Emmys for sure. And I cannot believe I was like, they found out they were going on stage to present, like, in the middle of the show, and they didn't know what their copy was until, like, 10 minutes before they. They walked out on stage.

[Britney Snow]

We wrote that copy.

[Bowen Yang]

You wrote that copy?

[Britney Snow]

We. Yes. I'm chills because I couldn't walk in my dress.

[Matt Rogers]

You kept saying that all night. You're like, I can't move.

[Britney Snow]

I can't move. And I couldn't.

[Bowen Yang]

You were standing on the red carpet.

[Britney Snow]

I couldn't move and I was. I was panicking.

[Bowen Yang]

It was a beautiful dress.

[Matt Rogers]

Beater haft.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, exactly.

[Matt Rogers]

So gorgeous.

[Britney Snow]

And I was freaking out because I thought it was gonna be fine if I'm just sitting down. You know, I don't have to walk anywhere. But the minute they said we're presenting, I was like, I have to walk in you front of. Of all these people and in front of. Yes. In this dress. So we get backstage, we have like 30 minutes till we have to present. There's nothing written. They're giving us just sort of boring copy. And I said to Mala, and I was like, I can't walk in my dress. We have to make this a bit.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Or else people are gonna be like, why is she walking so weird? And so I said, it's gonna take me a while to come out. It's gonna take me a while to come out. I'm coming out, I'm coming out. And she was like, okay, okay, I get it. Like, maybe I could be excited that you got out. And I'm like, yes, you've been waiting for me to come out.

[Bowen Yang]

And so.

[Britney Snow]

And then we just were like, like, we got it. And so that was 10 minutes before we walked on that.

[Matt Rogers]

It was such a perfect two hander. I don't know. This is geeky. Like, I. I like, watched it back so many times just to study your face acting your face journey in that.

[Britney Snow]

Because you're really funny.

[Matt Rogers]

Like, you're so, like, it's the perfect amount of titillation. Like, and like, mom's just like being hot.

[Britney Snow]

I know.

[Matt Rogers]

Standing there and like holding it.

[Britney Snow]

She can do absolutely nothing. And it's hot.

[Matt Rogers]

No, but both of you, I'm like, God, they're really good. Like, you guys are incredible. Like, it truly. I watched it back so many times, like, Britney motherfucking snow.

[Bowen Yang]

Were you already friends?

[Britney Snow]

We weren't, but we had known of each other. And she was always somebody that I knew of in terms of like, oh, she's a cool girl that everyone has always talked about that we would get along. Like, people have said to me that have worked with her, that have worked with her. They're like, have you met Amal in Akerman? Like, she. You guys just seem like you would be on the same page about a lot of things.

[Matt Rogers]

Like this Swedish thing.

[Britney Snow]

It's like, yeah, just so cool. In terms of when we were doing naked scenes or any, you know, intimate scenes, I'd Be like, oh, man. I don't know. Like, this is, you know, big. And she like, honey, you're a babe. Like, you're beautiful. Like, let's get it. Like. And I was like, okay. You know, it was. It was very calming.

[Matt Rogers]

I love Just. And also, I have to say, we had a friend who kind of stepped in it with Malin because he was like, what are you guys gonna do about the wig next season? And she was like. She was so graceful. She was like, you know, I had. I had, like, this. This. This health issue, and, you know, my hair was not its best. And so we got this wig out, and we just kind of ran with it. And I was just like, oh, my God, like, Malnacker.

[Bowen Yang]

Everyone making fun of that and it being, like, an actual thing.

[Matt Rogers]

An actual thing. And she was like, so. And I.

[Bowen Yang]

And.

[Matt Rogers]

And I even texted her, like, after the fact. I was like, hey, And. And, like. Like, thank you so much for being so graceful in that moment. She was like, oh, my God.

[Britney Snow]

No.

[Matt Rogers]

What are you talking about?

[Britney Snow]

Like, she doesn't care.

[Bowen Yang]

She doesn't give a fuck.

[Britney Snow]

She does not give a fuck. I mean, that's the cool thing about, like, all of us on this show is like, we really are just having the best time, and we just don't care. Like, we're just, like. We're just excited, but people can love it, hate it. We had last.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't like that they did Chrissy Metz like that. Why even get. We found her crumpled on the floor. I know when we found Chrissy, she was crumpled. Chrissy Metz was crumpled on the ground. We didn't even get to see.

[Britney Snow]

I know.

[Bowen Yang]

Shots Fired.

[Britney Snow]

I asked her that at the Netflix party, which was to show. I was like, do you think that they could. You could come back and we could film the death scene? Because maybe that could be, like, in season two. Yeah, I feel like she deserves that scene.

[Bowen Yang]

I think she deserves a little bit more than. Than what she got for sure. Like, at least let's see the showdown. Because the whole time we had been waiting for the showdown. Not me critiquing the show, but.

[Matt Rogers]

But do it.

[Bowen Yang]

That I love.

[Matt Rogers]

We did. We had a good friend college on the. On the show, on the pod. And she went out for. For that role, and we each had a fun line read, turn, audition.

[Bowen Yang]

The.

[Matt Rogers]

The. The Chrissy Metz line of.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, I love that.

[Matt Rogers]

Y' all better get back out there.

[Bowen Yang]

And find who out. Y' all better get out there, find out who killed my daughter. There's so many ways you can do it. You can be heartbroken, you can be angry, you can be urgent. You can be.

[Britney Snow]

I saw the tears well up in both of you guys.

[Bowen Yang]

You better get out there, find my daughter. It's really good. Wait, it's a great line.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, you could have been great in that part.

[Matt Rogers]

He's amazing.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm saying I'm pitching us for the show.

[Britney Snow]

I know, I know.

[Bowen Yang]

Cuz we can definitely cry during the episode. Oh yeah. I feel like Jamie Ray could, could get us there.

[Britney Snow]

She could get anyone there.

[Bowen Yang]

Which I. Which ey.

[Britney Snow]

That's right.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, we have to ask you the question. Yes, we do.

[Bowen Yang]

Sorry.

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

No. Oh my God. Don't. Don't apologize. We should apologize. We, we need to ask you, Britney Snow, what is the culture that made you say culture is?

[Bowen Yang]

For me, you have a great answer.

[Britney Snow]

So when I was a little girl, I, I strictly watched Meg Ryan movies on a loop. They were my favorite. I've seen all of them. And Meg Ryan specifically to me as a little girl was like the pinnacle of an actress that I wanted to be, which was, she's inherently cute. She just looks the way that she looks, so, you know, there's nothing that she can do about that. She's adorable. But she never played her roles as like a ditzy blonde with short hair. She always was the smartest person in the room. She always had a point of view. She always was like a really strong presence in all of her movies. And I loved that dichotomy of like, you don't have to be a ditzy, cutesy, adorable girl that like doesn't know where she's going in the movie. She knew everything in every movie that she was ever in. So I aspired to be that. And I just remember watching as like a, you know, eight year old being like, if I could only be Meg Ryan, you know.

[Matt Rogers]

But this makes so much sense to me that like you would connect with her on that level and that I feel like you have, you have sort of like brought that Meg Ryan archetype, as if you can call it that, into like the present. I feel like you, you have always really occupied that very like sharp, that sharpness in the acting and the technique, but also in that, in this, like in the look of like a blonde person, a gorgeous blonde person that belies this depth. Like that actually like is, has always been there. I feel like that is what you guys share.

[Britney Snow]

That's very nice, thank you.

[Matt Rogers]

But like, you know, between. God, like we were really eating back then, like between Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts, like, we.

[Bowen Yang]

Cause they made those movies.

[Matt Rogers]

Cause they made those movies. But I just remember as a kid watching those movies being like, those are the beautiful, smartest, funniest.

[Britney Snow]

Xander Bullock, Julia Roberts, Claire Danes, who I just worked with. I mean, just the most elegant.

[Bowen Yang]

Rhys would follow right after that.

[Britney Snow]

Rhys, I mean, just also like approachable and smart. And you weren't watching them like fall over themselves and being like, I wonder what's going to happen next? You know, they were taking charge of the movies.

[Matt Rogers]

Sure.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. They were the heroines. I feel like for me, my favorite, my grand is 100 metalli always.

[Britney Snow]

It's one of my.

[Bowen Yang]

One of the best movies ever.

[Britney Snow]

I agree. If Letterbox came to me and was like, the four is in there for sure.

[Bowen Yang]

That's one I have always forgotten about in that context. But yeah, it's up there. It's competitive.

[Britney Snow]

It's a perfect movie.

[Matt Rogers]

And speaking of. And you've got male. It is kind of the perfect. It's such an elegant thing of like, okay, it's new. The new way of sort of like flirting and sort of the new way of courtship in like the, you know, millennium or late 90s. But like paired with the fact that it's like, oh, there's a used bookstore and it's like meeting in the park. It's like the perfect tension of like old and new in that rom com. It just feels. And like sleeping in Seattle where it's like. It's like there's just. She was able to do all these very innovative things in rom coms. It's like it wasn't that she was just thrown into the rom com genre or that she like help invent it.

[Bowen Yang]

It's just.

[Matt Rogers]

It's just that she like pushed the boundaries of it in that time when it really blew up as a genre.

[Britney Snow]

And I think she also was. I think people forget how good she was at physical comedy too. She was. She had these mannerisms that I've always. I feel like I sort of like emulated on accident. There's like this really kind of sort of okay movie called Addicted to Love with her and Matthew Broderick. And she is like this biker chick with like eyeliner. And that's how, you know she's a rebel is because she wears eyeliner and she just like moves like her very cool and spastically. And I just think that it's. It's something that she just really cornered the market of like adorable all around.

[Matt Rogers]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

I mean, where was the Oscar nomination for when Harry Met Sally, because the orgasm scene, the fake orgasm scene, that's.

[Matt Rogers]

That's the. That's the peak physical comedy.

[Bowen Yang]

It's literally. And also just. It's so. It's so lived in. Like, it's like you. But you also believe that because she had established a character that, like, would do that.

[Britney Snow]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what I mean? Because on the page, like, obviously, incredible script, but that is a leap on the page that it's going to go that far in that way.

[Britney Snow]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

But you buy it, especially in a movie that's been so grounded, had been so. In reality, that moment is so kind of wild and crazy.

[Matt Rogers]

But you.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you receive it as fact when it's. When she's doing it?

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And I think that surprising element of all her characters is something that I really love, too, is that she can play someone really, really grounded, but also. So the element of surprise is always there. She can always do something like that that's sort of just, like, out of the box, and you're just. You feel for her. You like her.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And. Yeah, I like. I like that.

[Matt Rogers]

What was the standard loop? Like, was. There were, like. What was the rotation?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. What. How did it work?

[Britney Snow]

Did you guys know about this movie called French Kiss that she did with Kevin Klein?

[Matt Rogers]

I heard about French Kiss. Were you like. Was it Jo versus the Volcano, too?

[Britney Snow]

That was Versus the Volcano, But French Kiss was really my, like, in rotation. Addicted to Love was in there. I mean, Top Gun. She's in. Of course.

[Bowen Yang]

I was so mad when they didn't bring her back. That was so disrespectful.

[Britney Snow]

I know.

[Bowen Yang]

She's beyond disrespectful.

[Britney Snow]

I know. But this movie called French Kiss, it's sort of like there's this part where she's on the train, she's eating a bunch of cheese, and she realizes that she's lactose intolerant. And it's one of those, like, orgasm moments where it's super big, but it's sort of adorable. Adorable. And she's sort of like, dressed like Diane Keaton the whole movie. It's sort of that, like, androgynous wardrobe that's so great. And I just. I ate that up when I was a kid. I loved it.

[Bowen Yang]

She also took some cool risks at the end of that. You could tell that she probably got, like, a little tired of what was happening with her in the romantic comedy sphere because she thought maybe a little typecast in the Cut is a full Jane Campion movie. Like, she's. She's giving it to you and that.

[Britney Snow]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, see, it's so funny that I've seen it in the cut and, you know, it's a blind spot of mine. This is crazy. Sleepless in Seattle. It's unacceptable.

[Matt Rogers]

So good.

[Britney Snow]

You know, it's. It might not. You know, it's just because I feel like I'm. I'm older, so it just. It makes me feel like that was such a part of my zeitgeist of, like, it was even. It was even old for me. Like, I'm. I was too young for it.

[Matt Rogers]

It was. It was a little. It was a little before our time slightly. And it's hard.

[Britney Snow]

It's hard.

[Matt Rogers]

A hard sell now just because, like, the leads are never in the same scene.

[Britney Snow]

I don't know if you guys have noticed this about 90s movies, but there's a lot of commonality or, like, a common theme is like, stalking.

[Matt Rogers]

Right?

[Britney Snow]

Like, there's all. All these people who are like, it's so romantic that they show up.

[Matt Rogers]

No, say anything. It's like, get out of there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Basically stalking this girl.

[Bowen Yang]

And the girl is like, oh, my gosh, he loves me.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

And it's like, you're in trouble.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, You're a trouble.

[Matt Rogers]

We call that love bombing.

[Britney Snow]

Love bombing. There was a lot of that in 90s movies, for sure.

[Matt Rogers]

No, totally. But I mean, you put it. You put it all. You put the film gloss on it and it's great.

[Bowen Yang]

You know what, though?

[Matt Rogers]

In a movie.

[Bowen Yang]

In a movie, you're only seeing the beginning of the love bombing, which is so good. You know what I mean? So in a. In a. In a movie where it ends with them kissing, they're just manic and you don't see the next movie, which is like a full crash. Crash. But we don't want to see the crash.

[Britney Snow]

No, no, no. It's. We know. We know where it's going. But also, like 90s movies, they didn't care.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, they didn't care at all.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, how to lose a guy in 10 days. The fact that they kiss at the end of that, and it's like, euphoric. I'm like, wow, you guys are going to be the worst. Toxic, like, impatient, like you. You're both headed there like it's.

[Matt Rogers]

It's you both nuts in a straight jacket.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, definitely.

[Matt Rogers]

Kate Leopold, too was like, I think the last.

[Bowen Yang]

That was like one of the births of Hugh Jackman.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes. One of Hugh Jackman's first roles, but it was just like another, like, innovation.

[Britney Snow]

Like, well, and then that trend kind of caught on those types of movies about, like, wasn't he just coming back from. Isn't he, like, in the past?

[Bowen Yang]

He's in the past. Some sort of colonial?

[Britney Snow]

Yes. No, no. He's a prince.

[Bowen Yang]

He's a prince. Well, it was colonial.

[Matt Rogers]

Colonial.

[Bowen Yang]

He's old.

[Matt Rogers]

He's. But I. I love a time travel thing because Lake House also did that with Sandra Bullock.

[Britney Snow]

I loved Lake House.

[Matt Rogers]

Love the Lake House.

[Britney Snow]

I loved everything Sandra Bullock was into. She. She's queens.

[Bowen Yang]

She was her, like, slightly more sarcastic cousin.

[Britney Snow]

That's right.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. A little bit darker. You guys ever see that movie with Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock?

[Bowen Yang]

It was called, like, Forces of Nature.

[Britney Snow]

Forces of Nature. And she's so hot in that.

[Bowen Yang]

She's incredibly hot. I mean, when she comes out in Miss Congeniality, after she's. After they put her through the, like, car wash or whatever the fuck. Like, it just is so good.

[Matt Rogers]

She looks unbelievable. Aviators.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And, like, it's. Is the dress like Mustang Sally? Yeah, it's like, sort of like a.

[Matt Rogers]

Lavender blue, and it's sort of that.

[Britney Snow]

Stretchy material that is not used for clothes.

[Bowen Yang]

Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Britney Snow]

But, like, dog toys have that same material.

[Matt Rogers]

Break it back.

[Bowen Yang]

I can chew on both.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, break it back.

[Britney Snow]

There's. There's a dog theme that's strung through this episode.

[Bowen Yang]

Are you a dog person?

[Britney Snow]

Oh, I love my dog. Is my everything.

[Bowen Yang]

Describe the dog.

[Britney Snow]

Very cute. Ugly, like, more. Yeah. It's like she's sort of has eyes that go different directions, and so that makes her really cute. But her personality is just the best. She's a rescue. She's five pounds. She's.

[Bowen Yang]

She's five pounds.

[Britney Snow]

She would sit right here and she'd sit the whole time.

[Bowen Yang]

She wouldn't really.

[Britney Snow]

She's just the most chill. We balance each other out.

[Bowen Yang]

Is it just the one dog?

[Britney Snow]

Just the one dog?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. You can't really have, like, another dog when the one dog is that small.

[Britney Snow]

She takes. She goes everywhere. She's a set dog. She was the mascot of the hunting wives. She was with us all the time, every day on set. There was even a scene at the Jed's mansion where she was, like, gonna be in the background, and then she heard me yelling at one point, and then she started barking, so we had to throw out of the scene.

[Bowen Yang]

Wait, what's her name?

[Britney Snow]

Charlie.

[Matt Rogers]

Charlie.

[Bowen Yang]

Spelled like Charlie xcx, our regular.

[Britney Snow]

No, Charlie with a. E. Yeah. Unfortunately, I know we can't all win them all. She doesn't have a hot girl summer or like anything.

[Bowen Yang]

No.

[Britney Snow]

Related.

[Matt Rogers]

No, it's fine.

[Bowen Yang]

It's. It's okay. Okay. She's.

[Matt Rogers]

She's chilling.

[Britney Snow]

She's a dog.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, dog. It's fine.

[Bowen Yang]

Is Meg Ryan doing? Like, is she? Because I remember there was a comeback rumor or something. I think she's directing now.

[Matt Rogers]

She's directing. She's done some roles, I think.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

We're friends with Jack. Jack's best.

[Bowen Yang]

Her son.

[Britney Snow]

Yes, of course.

[Bowen Yang]

Who has all the star quality of his parents combined.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

He's so effortless.

[Britney Snow]

Really. Truly. I know.

[Bowen Yang]

Great. Do you know him?

[Britney Snow]

I don't, actually.

[Bowen Yang]

You should. You should do something to me together.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, get on that. We'll get on that.

[Bowen Yang]

We'll produce.

[Matt Rogers]

We'll produce Lost coaches.

[Bowen Yang]

We're going to be producers.

[Matt Rogers]

We're going to be producers.

[Bowen Yang]

We're going to. We're going to produce our way into Hunting Wife season two.

[Britney Snow]

You already did, and I love it.

[Bowen Yang]

I think it's a good idea. And. But now that. Now that I don't know what. I kind of did the whole episode in my mind already. That was my anxious thought. I thought of it and then finished it.

[Britney Snow]

What is Sophie doing during this time?

[Bowen Yang]

I think she's not in that one. Boo.

[Matt Rogers]

No, we need a Sophie scene.

[Bowen Yang]

You can direct that episode. Do you have any interest in directing?

[Britney Snow]

I directed a movie a couple years ago.

[Matt Rogers]

You did? Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

What?

[Matt Rogers]

We're so sorry that we.

[Britney Snow]

You guys have done enough on the Britney Snow world. No, I mean, like, we're not real.

[Matt Rogers]

Snow buddies if we don't know about your directorial debut.

[Bowen Yang]

I know you went to Gather High school.

[Britney Snow]

That's crazy. Yes, Gator High School.

[Bowen Yang]

It's on Wikipedia.

[Britney Snow]

That's true. There's a lot on Wikipedia. That's not true, though.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, you're a Pisces like me.

[Britney Snow]

I am a Pisces.

[Bowen Yang]

Do you identify with. He's a Scorpio.

[Matt Rogers]

Scorpio.

[Bowen Yang]

This is very good. This is a very good day. Oh, don't you.

[Matt Rogers]

You just leered at me. You don't want to.

[Britney Snow]

No, I just love.

[Bowen Yang]

We love.

[Britney Snow]

I love Scorpios. Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Water signs.

[Britney Snow]

I just didn't realize that you were a Scorpio.

[Bowen Yang]

No, he's the Scorpio. He doesn't suffer fools.

[Matt Rogers]

It's not that. You know what I identify most now recently as a Scorpio. And this is gonna sound so like eye roll. Cause it's like. It's about what people do to me, but it's a lot of people Project stuff onto Scorpio. Scorpios, they're like, judgments. Or they think. They project things about me, like.

[Bowen Yang]

He's right.

[Matt Rogers]

They do. They'll assume things about me that are just. Just obviously informed by, like, what. What. What the person is thinking. Whatever. We don't have to get into it.

[Britney Snow]

Well, that's what people do for Pisces, too. They just assume that I'm sensitive and emotional, about to cry.

[Bowen Yang]

They're right.

[Britney Snow]

Right.

[Bowen Yang]

Literally same. I'm in Pisces, too. March 5th is my birthday.

[Britney Snow]

March 9th. Do we have it to my birthday party One year.

[Bowen Yang]

Maybe we should. March 7th. Huge day for us.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Two days after mine. Two days before yours.

[Matt Rogers]

Just saying.

[Bowen Yang]

You know who's blowing me up right now? And I don't know why? Jared Frieder. You know Jared.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And that's how. Wait. Because of Liz. Jared and Liz are so close. And that was the Muna concert.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. Because you were in Someone Great.

[Britney Snow]

I was in Someone Great.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. Which is another classic.

[Britney Snow]

And that's how I met you. Is because of Jen.

[Matt Rogers]

It was because of Jen Robin. Jen Kane Robinson. And then Liz Elver and Lee went to my high school.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, they went to high school together. Was best friends with his sister Yang.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Isn't that weird?

[Britney Snow]

Wait, that's crazy. I didn't know. I didn't know how that all came to be, but that makes sense.

[Bowen Yang]

No.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

So you're a Muna fan.

[Britney Snow]

Of course. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

It's kind of. Kind of lesbian of you to be in Hunting Wives and be a Muna fan. Projecting things on to us, the Pisces. Yep.

[Britney Snow]

We're used to it.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. And they're always right.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, they are.

[Bowen Yang]

Now I am gonna cry.

[Britney Snow]

I'm crying right now.

[Bowen Yang]

I almost did during my performance as Chrissy.

[Britney Snow]

You did. You did. I saw that.

[Bowen Yang]

And you see, he went more to anger.

[Matt Rogers]

Of course.

[Bowen Yang]

Of course.

[Britney Snow]

I love that.

[Bowen Yang]

It's just kind of. It's where we go. What?

[Matt Rogers]

No, nothing. I'm sighing because. Speaking of, just. I'm thinking of Britney Snow crying and. And.

[Britney Snow]

And that makes you cry.

[Matt Rogers]

No, it makes me so good at it. It makes me. I'm filled with awe. Because in the previously on Hunting Wives clips, they would always constantly play the clip of Sophie going, she died. Like, it's. We actually do what we're talking about.

[Bowen Yang]

We were doing. We were doing a contest about who could do the best.

[Matt Rogers]

She died. I.

[Britney Snow]

No, stop it.

[Bowen Yang]

What?

[Britney Snow]

What is that from?

[Matt Rogers]

It's from when Sophie tell.

[Bowen Yang]

When you say the story of the first accident.

[Matt Rogers]

Of the accident.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, my God. When I'm in the green dress.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

And I. Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

When you're. When you're at the lodge. I know other women about the accident.

[Bowen Yang]

And literally, like, it was just the reason why. The reason why we were doing it is because they were showing it in the. Previously a lot.

[Matt Rogers]

Constantly.

[Britney Snow]

I'm not proud of that performance at all.

[Bowen Yang]

So good.

[Britney Snow]

Sorry. It's just. It's just because I. At that moment, I didn't realize that it, like, cuts to Katie and she's like, oh, my God. You know, like, I could have, like, done so many different things. But you're right. I was like, no, it was perfect. No, but you're right. I feel like you can't watch playback. No, I can't. But also, like, I get what you're saying. It was like a strange. It was like a strange thing to have constantly. Go back.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, we had to remember. I love the previous.

[Matt Rogers]

I love.

[Bowen Yang]

Can I say previously is one of my favorite parts of a whole episode.

[Britney Snow]

You know, sometimes when I. When I think. When I wasn't working and I was thinking to myself, like, one day I. I'll be on a TV show, and I would say to myself, like, previously. Yeah, you know, it's, like, so cool to say it.

[Matt Rogers]

Did you do the voiceover?

[Bowen Yang]

Did you get to do it?

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, yeah. You're like, wow, I'm really on a TV show now. I got to say, previously.

[Bowen Yang]

Been on a thing that has a previous.

[Matt Rogers]

No, I've never said previously.

[Bowen Yang]

You want us to say previously?

[Britney Snow]

You will. You can.

[Matt Rogers]

I did get to say in a secret deodorant commercial, Wicked for good in theaters November 21st. That felt cool. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm sorry. That's. That just sounds like a brag. I'm sorry.

[Bowen Yang]

Wicked for Good is in theaters November 21st.

[Matt Rogers]

Wicked for Good is in theaters November 21st.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, don't you know I know it. Yes. Ugh.

[Matt Rogers]

Wait, I need to ask, because you alluded to this earlier. So you think you could have done the she died scene better, but you had other moments. You said there were other moments throughout the season where you were like, I could have done that better. Would you like to put those out there now?

[Britney Snow]

I think I always think I can do better. It really. It bothers me because I'm pretty hard on myself, and I always watch. When I watch things back, I'm like, I could. I could have done better.

[Bowen Yang]

Or you're like, I did it better, and that wasn't the take. 100% literally. Always, always, always. And that's why use that one. I know I always think that. But then. But then I just keep reminding myself like it's because it was better holistically. I have to trust the experts here. Also. Maybe the one I'm thinking wasn't the one. Maybe it would have looked odd after her line. You know what I'm saying? Like it's. But I have the same thing where I'm like.

[Britney Snow]

Well, to go back to the fact that I have directed before I directed my own movie that I wrote. And I have been on that side where I had to edit and I was in the editing room for four months. And I do know that that thought which does come into play when I watch myself of like I've been on the other side where the best take isn't always the one you're gonna be able to use because her hair was on the wrong side or there was something that we couldn't get out of the frame or whatever it is. You know, a lighting thing or. Or just little minute things that you're not thinking of. And so I do take that into consideration. Although it does suck.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Of course. Whenever you don't. Is that a Pisces thing? We're not really controlling. But that's not even a controlled thing.

[Britney Snow]

Sensitive.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, it's a sensitivity.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

It's like I want people to think I. I did the scene really good.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. And just maybe that's the controlling of it. Is that I know that I can do better. And so there's this sort of like sensitivity to.

[Matt Rogers]

To.

[Britney Snow]

I guess that's controlling.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah, no, it's a sensitivity to just emotions. That's the Pisces thing.

[Bowen Yang]

That's be Pisces.

[Matt Rogers]

You're getting a read on these micro moments or something.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, sensitivity based on emotional portrayal. Lots of Pisces there. Creative. This episode is brought to you by Ross.

[Bowen Yang]

What if your wi fi wasn't just wi fi but the magic holding your whole holiday together?

[Matt Rogers]

Well with Xfinity WI fi it kind of is.

[Bowen Yang]

Picture this. Powered by their best most elite high performing tech, this WI fi doesn't just connect devices. It keeps the peace at home during the most wonderful and most stressful time of the year.

[Matt Rogers]

It's kind of like having a little holiday helper working behind the scenes making sure the Holiday playlist never skips the beat. And the video call with grandma doesn't freeze mid cookie tutorial.

[Bowen Yang]

It's WI Fi that keeps your whole home connected so you can actually enjoy the holiday magic chaos. Free the best present of all.

[Matt Rogers]

Let me paint a picture for you. A holiday movie marathon is streaming in the living room. Your kid is video chatting their friends from their tablet, and your partner is shopping for too many gifts and cinnamon candles.

[Bowen Yang]

Ugh.

[Matt Rogers]

Not this season. Not with Xfinity WiFi.

[Bowen Yang]

With Xfinity, you can boost the WiFi to your device only, so when you go to upload 200 photos of that cat in a cute little Santa hat, you won't see that dreaded failed to upload message. Message. Not this season. Not with Xfinity WiFi. And what if you had a way to make sure family time during the holidays had zero distractions? With Xfinity WiFi, you can pause the kids WiFi and enjoy those special moments together.

[Matt Rogers]

And if you're wondering what other parental instincts your wifi has during this busy season, Xfinity protects your kids when they're online, so you know they're safe, even if you're busy making cocoa or taste testing cookies.

[Britney Snow]

What?

[Bowen Yang]

Someone has to make sure there's exactly the same amount of chocolate chips in each cookie. And what if your WI Fi could proactively fix issues before they even happen? Well, that's exactly what Xfinity WI Fi does. Like the friend who shows up with extra wrapping paper, bows, and tape before you even realize you're out. Because, let's be honest, you never buy enough.

[Matt Rogers]

Bottom line, Xfinity WI Fi isn't just smart. It's brilliant. And during the holidays, that brilliance? That's a gift. Xfinity. Imagine that.

[Bowen Yang]

Who decides what you can do? Who gets to decide what you're capable of? Your boss? Your friends? Some stranger on the Internet? No. No. An absolute no. You decide. Only you.

[Matt Rogers]

Ford shares that belief. It's, like, engineered into their vehicles. An F150 is all steel, sweat, and dreams, right?

[Bowen Yang]

A Ford Bronco is built for adventure. But you've got to get behind the wheel.

[Matt Rogers]

Can you?

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, you can. But you have to first.

[Matt Rogers]

You have to. And a Mustang. The Mustang that conquers curves.

[Bowen Yang]

You are more capable than you know. Like, for example, I never thought I could parallel park. I just thought it wasn't something that was going to happen for me in my life. And not everyone gets to have every experience, you know? But then suddenly I did a parallel park, and I thought, wow, I'm Going to apply to Harvard. I didn't get in, but I did parallel park.

[Matt Rogers]

Sometimes you just need to push.

[Bowen Yang]

What is it that they say? Whether you think you can or you think you can, you're right.

[Matt Rogers]

Ready, set, forward.

[Bowen Yang]

Visit ford.com to learn more. You know what's creative and we are in control of. I don't think so, honeys. It is time for the segment. So this is our 62nd segment where we take just exactly that amount of time to you guys.

[Britney Snow]

I've been thinking about this for so long.

[Bowen Yang]

Rip something in culture apart. You have been thinking about it. So. So we heard your two. We told you, we weighed in. We said said we think one is the one. We're going to go first and you can ruminate on it.

[Britney Snow]

Okay?

[Bowen Yang]

Okay. I have one. I've been moving apartments in la and I have one.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay. This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.

[Bowen Yang]

I don't think so, honey. Dust. Oh, I just found out you're mostly my own skin. I don't think so, honey. Almost 50% of all that in the corner, bitch, that's your own skin. Those are your dead cells. I'll say it again. Dead cells all up in the dust. When you go to a corner, it's horrible. Any room you're in right now, go to the corner. It's terrible. I'm telling you. You need to call the cleaner. Please let this be. Let this be. Not just that. I don't think so, honey. It's a reminder. You need to clean or call the cleaner. Get someone or you yourself get the supplies. The dust is you. You are all about. It's like Soylent Green up in here. I'm telling you, it's really bad. And bitch, I have to tell you about your air filter. It's so bad.

[Matt Rogers]

15 seconds.

[Bowen Yang]

It's so bad. Get the dust out of there. You're gonna die. If you suck in this dust. You're gonna die, I'm telling you. Then talk about dust mites. Don't try to give it a cute name, you bitch. I don't think so, honey. This. You are not gonna call it a dust mite. A dust bunny. It's an insult to bunnies. I don't think so, honey. It's my own skin. It's not a bunny, which I want to pet. It's my skin, which I either wanna keep or never see again. I don't think so, honey.

[Matt Rogers]

And that's one minute the only bunny bunnies.

[Bowen Yang]

We want snow bunnies.

[Britney Snow]

I am Terrified.

[Bowen Yang]

Why? Because that was so great.

[Britney Snow]

Yes. And also you, like, I'm going home to immediately start dusting.

[Bowen Yang]

No, you got it.

[Matt Rogers]

You got.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm telling you.

[Britney Snow]

No, but I. I bought an old house and it's really dusty.

[Bowen Yang]

I know. Especially. And that's also the thing about the unfortunate drawback to, like, oh, this house gets great light. It's gonna get amazing dust.

[Matt Rogers]

Get two air purifiers. Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, no, I've got. Got two. One upstairs, one downstairs.

[Bowen Yang]

Britney style has two.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Britney Snow]

The dust bunnies are, you know, not a part of the club. And they're everywhere.

[Bowen Yang]

Everywhere. And I'm telling you, the one great thing, I'm so happy to be leaving my apartment in LA and going somewhere else. It got so much dust, like, two days after. I don't know, it's. It's something about it, but it's terrible. And like, I. I found a lot of it hiding in one place and I just couldn't believe how big the ball was. This is really silliness.

[Matt Rogers]

Well, you.

[Britney Snow]

Did you take a picture?

[Bowen Yang]

I didn't. I didn't because Melissa was freaking out. She was like, stop touching it. We were, like, kind of playing with the dust. We were high.

[Matt Rogers]

It's the dryness. It's the dryness.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, it was. It was not good. But anyways, we're happy moving to Studio City. Woo. To be closer to Jared, actually my bestie.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, my God. I didn't know that.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

We dated for a year.

[Britney Snow]

Hot. Very cute at the time.

[Bowen Yang]

Very much so.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Better as friends, though.

[Britney Snow]

I get that.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

Not because of him, just because, like, I've been in that situation.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. Sometimes you're just better as friends. All right. What do you think?

[Matt Rogers]

I have something. Okay. It's also. It's also another, like, house thing, but I think it's really important work.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay, so this is Bowen Yangs. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now.

[Matt Rogers]

I don't think so, honey. Light switches, you have to press, give me an actual rocking mechanism. I don't care if it's the little nub. I don't care if it's the full.

[Bowen Yang]

You want to flick?

[Matt Rogers]

I want to flick because guess what these dimmers do. They go slow, they take their time. And sometimes I need it to be lights out like that. And most of the time, with these pressed light switches, you go to a hotel.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, it's.

[Matt Rogers]

Isn't this nice?

[Bowen Yang]

30 seconds.

[Matt Rogers]

Wait a minute. The light switches are nonsensical. I'm pressing a button.

[Bowen Yang]

And I gotta, I gotta, I gotta.

[Matt Rogers]

Count 10 clock ticks for this to fully go black.

[Bowen Yang]

15 seconds.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm, I'm trying to go to bed. Meanwhile, I'm standing at the threshold between the closet and the bathroom waiting for the light to go down.5 seconds so that I, before I can tuck myself in. Honey, there's no time.

[Bowen Yang]

Time.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm busy.

[Bowen Yang]

And that's one minute. You know, I've done one very similar about when you go to a hotel. Like if you ever spring on like a nice hotel, you can't use one thing. It's impossible to use. You want to turn on the tv.

[Matt Rogers]

You can't, you can't, you can't.

[Bowen Yang]

Cuz the remotes, something from outer space, you want to, you want to turn on the light in your bathroom, you can't.

[Matt Rogers]

And my classic thing, hotel trash cans.

[Bowen Yang]

Fat chance.

[Matt Rogers]

Fat chance. It's tiny. It's a little canister.

[Bowen Yang]

They're getting worse. Soon it's going to be of a bunch button all the way over there to open the trash can over here. Don't even talk to me about a button that says all. Obviously liars.

[Britney Snow]

I hate that. Why are you like. I press all and everything goes black. I can never find the button again. Everything.

[Bowen Yang]

You have to run to the bed.

[Matt Rogers]

You have to run to the bed.

[Britney Snow]

You're definitely going to fall over.

[Matt Rogers]

You're tripping over something.

[Bowen Yang]

You'll be killed.

[Britney Snow]

Definitely. I have killed by all light.

[Bowen Yang]

You will. I'm telling you. They make it so difficult. Like, my parents are in Greece right now. Oh my God. Now they're in Greece. It's their second time ever leaving the country. Country. And I was like, I wanted them to go into like have a nice trip and go in nice hotels. And then after I sent them, I was like, oh no. Are they gonna know how to like turn on the coffee thing? Because it's Rubik's Cube. Oh, like it is crazy to turn on a light. Toilets, you know, they have those fancy bidets like in the toilet.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh no.

[Bowen Yang]

You'll be there for 45 minutes trying to figure it out. And then when you do, you'll never leave. But sometimes I get to them some of those bidets and I'm like, I'm not leaving. Oh no, no, no. I know.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm getting a blood clot. I'm staying.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh my Britney.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, okay. Are you ready?

[Britney Snow]

I think so.

[Matt Rogers]

This is what, a sentence? Oh my God. Thank you so much for coming.

[Britney Snow]

I am having the best time.

[Bowen Yang]

Me too.

[Britney Snow]

I don't Want to leave. Okay.

[Matt Rogers]

This is, it's.

[Bowen Yang]

I have a date with the other blonde.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, this is Brittany Snows. I don't think so, honey. And her time starts now.

[Britney Snow]

I don't think so, honey. Okay. Hospital shows, wow. Let me tell you something, people. I know some people that it is their comfort to after a long day, you're working traffic, you're a person that's got kids, you're taking care of old people and then you go home at the end of the night and you want to curl up with a nice glass of tea and a blanket and you're going to put on the most high stakes drama of people dying who actually really die in real life. These are real stories that happen. And then now your comfort show, Grey's Anatomy, the Pit. Also, Noah Wy call me. I will do season three. I love him. Also Noah Wiley. Side note is a doctor. If I was on a plane and there was somebody that like, if I was going down and there was like, is there a doctor in the plane? And there was another doctor and then there was no Wylie, I would pick no Wiley.

[Bowen Yang]

Trust him.

[Britney Snow]

He knows everything. Of course, but that's not the point. The point is I don't think that these shows are good things to watch because they don't give anybody comfort. I don't want to go to a hospital. Does anybody like going to the hospital? Why am I willingly going to the hospital when the hospital I'm in.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm sorry, keep going.

[Bowen Yang]

But like we don't.

[Britney Snow]

Do you like going to the hospital? When I'm visiting people in the hospital, I want to get the out of there. And then now we are willingly putting ourselves into the hospital and it's like dramatic. I don't think so, honey.

[Matt Rogers]

That's what made it. That was perfect. Oh my God. Applause for Britney Snow.

[Bowen Yang]

Really good. And also this is speaking to something in the culture that needs to be addressed, which is why do we like these things? It's just, it's literal. Pain, blood and more. And I will say something. What, what is the thing with like people being like, wow, now I really know what that experience is like. It's like, it's like, why did anyone need to know what they go through? I get it. Can I say personally for me, I get it. Being in a hospital, working in like an emergency room, it sounds awful. Not for entertainment, but let me just.

[Britney Snow]

Say, to play the devil's advocate to my own, I don't think so, honey. I do think that it's highlighting people in those roles. To that have the wor. The most horrible hard jobs. I don't give one fuck about actors who are like, oh, my God, I'm so tired. I hate my job. It's like, no, you go to a hospital and those people are allowed to complain about being tired because they're saving lives. But then also, yes, we're highlighting those jobs, but at the same time, I don't want to have any enjoyment in that or comfort in the fact that you just saved a child from their arm. Getting cut off or whatever. Like, that, to me, is not something that I find to make me, like, ready for bed now.

[Bowen Yang]

Right? He loves the pit. And we are noted, Grey's Anatomy stands. But I don't even know if I could rewatch it, because now as an adult, I'm super sensitive to pain.

[Matt Rogers]

To pain.

[Bowen Yang]

Like, human.

[Matt Rogers]

Did you ever do. Did you ever do a hospital show?

[Britney Snow]

No one has ever thought that I could play a doctor and Gray's Anatomy.

[Bowen Yang]

No, I, Why do I, Why am I creating that? You were like, a patient on Grey's Anatomy.

[Britney Snow]

I was a bipolar girl who killed someone on svu.

[Bowen Yang]

That's why.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah, pretty.

[Bowen Yang]

That.

[Matt Rogers]

Which, which, which is the exchange rate is. You're, you were a doctor on Grace. On a, On a hospital procedural.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah.

[Britney Snow]

No, I can't do those. The, the language, like, the wording of. No.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I need 10.

[Bowen Yang]

I actually wrote a Grey's Anatomy spec script in college, and I, it's just all the hospital jargon. I, I, I was just gonna put in the dialogue, like, in parentheses, like, hospital jargon here. Well, that's what they said. I know, but my teacher was like, no, just write it. And I was like, I need 10cc's of penicillin. It's like, what is that?

[Matt Rogers]

But the writer, the actual writers on Grace just go, Just go. Medical, medical. Like brackets. Medical, medical, medical. So legitimately. And then they have consultants.

[Britney Snow]

That is my nightmare that, like, the reoccurring nightmare that I have is that I show up to do Grey's Anatomy or whatever, and they're like, you got the medical jargon right? They know I just came in last night. And you're like, what medical jargon? And they're like the paragraph of medical jargon that you don't know. That is an actual nightmare that, That.

[Matt Rogers]

I have on the regular amazing, specific actor dream.

[Bowen Yang]

Specific. Very like, that is so specific to just actors is like, what if I show up to Grey's Anatomy and I don't know the medical jargon? Humiliating.

[Matt Rogers]

Humiliating.

[Bowen Yang]

And I'm Nude.

[Matt Rogers]

I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. Britney. When you asked who likes going to the hospital, this is, this is, this is, I'm going to say a Canadian thing, which is when you have socialized medicine, especially if you're a kid growing up in Canada. Like, like, like, like, I, I was, I broke my arm twice growing up in Montreal. Going to the children's hospital was the funnest time.

[Bowen Yang]

He broke his arm twice.

[Britney Snow]

Talking about a different.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah. Medical system. But, like, the children's hospital in Montreal.

[Britney Snow]

Was a happy place.

[Matt Rogers]

Happy place. The walls were colorful. There's, like, play places, but everywhere.

[Britney Snow]

And they were fixing your arm.

[Matt Rogers]

And they were fixing my arm. And the doctors were so nice and so happy. The nurses.

[Britney Snow]

No, Wy.

[Matt Rogers]

There, there was a Noah Wyn pediatrician. I mean, come on. I think, I think the re, I think the, the appeal of the pit is you're watching Noah Wiley be Noah Wy.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, definitely.

[Matt Rogers]

And there's.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, my God.

[Matt Rogers]

And he just, I mean, did you see him at the party during the Emmys?

[Britney Snow]

Of course.

[Matt Rogers]

He and his wife. The most gorgeous couple.

[Britney Snow]

She's the most gorgeous.

[Bowen Yang]

They had to be the bells of the ball.

[Matt Rogers]

They were.

[Britney Snow]

And I love that for them, it.

[Matt Rogers]

Was the pit and hunting wives.

[Britney Snow]

Two vastly different experiences.

[Bowen Yang]

I want that crossover.

[Britney Snow]

Like, 500cc.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, like 100%. Baby, let me get that scalpel.

[Britney Snow]

Baby, come on.

[Bowen Yang]

Get that scalpel bag.

[Britney Snow]

I can do that. I don't know. Something happens.

[Matt Rogers]

Wait, this is, this is, this is my melen. Ready?

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Matt Rogers]

Offer me a tampon.

[Britney Snow]

I don't know. I, I, I think I have a tampon.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I can't use that.

[Bowen Yang]

Pretty good. Oh, I can't use that.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, I can't use that.

[Britney Snow]

Wait. Okay, before we go.

[Matt Rogers]

Yes.

[Britney Snow]

You guys both told me that you had, like, questions about the show because you were like, if this person does that and that person is that and that guy. It was. Yeah. What are the questions?

[Matt Rogers]

Okay, my question is how will Sophie reckon with what she's done?

[Bowen Yang]

How will she get out of this one?

[Britney Snow]

I have theories that are completely not based in any fact, but let's hear.

[Bowen Yang]

Them, because we're all pitching.

[Britney Snow]

Because I don't know. I don't know this to be true at all, but I do think that this puts them on an even playing field, and I do think that she's smarter than people think she is, and I would like to see her have, having done stuff already to, like, lay the groundwork for, like, she's got some on Margot that She could drop, you know, the drop of a hat and turn everything around if. If Margo figures out that she killed Kyle. But I think no one's going to figure out about Kyle for a long time.

[Bowen Yang]

Wow.

[Britney Snow]

I think they will take the phone for a reason. I think she took the phone for a reason.

[Bowen Yang]

You don't think that Mala knew it was her on the. At the end?

[Britney Snow]

I think she did. I don't think so. I'm not sure.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Britney Snow]

We played it both ways. It's funny how it went in the show, but they did tell me to take the phone for a reason.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There is so many ways to. To interpret the show.

[Matt Rogers]

Absolutely. As. As I'm an example of.

[Bowen Yang]

I'm telling you. Like it. We. We were in P Town, like, ostensibly a lot of fun things to do do there. No. All we wanted to do was be in the house watching the show. It was the highlight of every moment of the trip was watching the show. And the Dunes tour was good.

[Matt Rogers]

Dunes tour was good, but we didn't. We didn't really go out.

[Bowen Yang]

I liked that one. I liked the red in, too, that we had good cocktails there. But other than that, it was the Hunting Wives. You.

[Britney Snow]

I am just so honored by that. Truly.

[Matt Rogers]

Thank you for. That was my one week off the entire summer. Thank you for. No, it really. No, thank you.

[Britney Snow]

Oh, my God. I'm glad I.

[Bowen Yang]

We spent it with you.

[Britney Snow]

We spent it with you all together. Yes. We escaped.

[Matt Rogers]

And you have two shows coming out.

[Britney Snow]

I do two shows. One on Hulu that's called Murdoch Death in the Family. And I play Mandy Matney, who is the real reporter that the. The podcast Murdoch murders. Her character, she. She's the person that sort of like, spearheaded the whole fight to get this guy Alec Murdoch behind bar and figure out what was happening with that story. So she is a badass.

[Bowen Yang]

So she sort of comes in and is like, we have to get the truth.

[Matt Rogers]

We have to get the truth.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah. And she was the first person to actually kind of sense that this was a bigger story at play, that it wasn't just this guy who was up to no good. There was something that was way, way more insidious with the story. And she just followed that lead and nobody took it seriously. And so as it was happening, she was the one that was sort of the person that knew before anyone else and was really sort of this gnat in. In their family in terms of, like, making sure that the stories broke, that somebody was always watching them, that the story was actually Getting told. And so, yeah, it was up to her that this. This all happened, so.

[Matt Rogers]

And hospital shows are too gruesome for you. Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Meanwhile, you're out here with all this murder.

[Britney Snow]

Well, I know the murder.

[Bowen Yang]

There's so much murder in all your shows.

[Britney Snow]

I know. I've been really.

[Bowen Yang]

What about that message to the kids?

[Britney Snow]

I'm sorry.

[Bowen Yang]

Love you. The kids love you. Every murder show on television.

[Britney Snow]

I will be in more also.

[Bowen Yang]

Well, hear that, kids? Hear that kid?

[Matt Rogers]

Is the. Is the second show a murder show?

[Britney Snow]

It is.

[Matt Rogers]

There you go.

[Britney Snow]

It's called the Beast in Me.

[Bowen Yang]

It's called the Beast in Me. Kids. They. Kids out there.

[Matt Rogers]

They're there. Sorry.

[Britney Snow]

Not everything I do is for the children most.

[Matt Rogers]

That's fair. No.

[Bowen Yang]

You are feeding the children. Yes. Gay guys. Yes.

[Matt Rogers]

Gay guys speak.

[Britney Snow]

Thank you.

[Bowen Yang]

Yes. It's really good when you feed the children. That's good.

[Britney Snow]

I've figured.

[Bowen Yang]

Okay.

[Matt Rogers]

Beast in me.

[Britney Snow]

Beast in me is. There are no children in the Beast in Me. But it is about also murder. My husband is being murdered.

[Matt Rogers]

No.

[Britney Snow]

He might have murdered his ex wife and I am the new wife. But it's sort of like the jinx in the way of like, he's sort of this tycoon and billionaire and you don't really know what's going on in terms of his murder past because he's. He might not have murdered her at all. Not everyone in the show is as they seem because Claire Danes, he. She plays this writer that's doing a book on Matthew Reese, my husband.

[Bowen Yang]

I know Matthew Reese and Claire Danes.

[Britney Snow]

Yes.

[Bowen Yang]

So it's going to be a phenomenon.

[Britney Snow]

It is the same people who did Homeland.

[Bowen Yang]

So it is.

[Matt Rogers]

We're familiar.

[Bowen Yang]

Claire Danes is going back with Homeland people.

[Britney Snow]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Oh, this is too much.

[Britney Snow]

And I'm there, too. They. I know. Who would have thought?

[Bowen Yang]

This is crazed.

[Britney Snow]

It's gonna be very cool.

[Matt Rogers]

We met her at SNL 50. She's. She listen. She listens.

[Bowen Yang]

She said she listens to the pod.

[Matt Rogers]

Somehow I don't.

[Bowen Yang]

That's. That was too much.

[Matt Rogers]

It was too much. She's so.

[Bowen Yang]

Yeah. She's the best, coolest, best actor ever.

[Britney Snow]

She's the best actor. She's the best person. Her and Matthew Reese are truly. I mean, I loved working on that show every day because of how they conducted themselves on set. And then we all became friends and I was just like. I love when people are that good at what they do, and they're also that good in real life as people. Claire just wanted to hang out. She just wanted to know things about me. And she really listens. She's just the best.

[Bowen Yang]

The best.

[Britney Snow]

So rad.

[Bowen Yang]

This was so fun. We love you.

[Matt Rogers]

We love you. We have to hang out with you.

[Bowen Yang]

When they said that they spent so much time with you at the Emmys, like you and all my friends, I was just like, I have to be there. But now we're going to do something.

[Britney Snow]

We're doing it.

[Bowen Yang]

We're going.
