00:00Welcome back to the show. Thank you for being here.
00:01It's so good to be back.
00:02I love you. You just...
00:05I love you.
00:06Oh, no, thank you.
00:07I mean, I love that you love Tina Fey as well.
00:09I know you're a big fan of Tina.
00:11I am. I love Tina so much.
00:12And Mean Girls.
00:13Yes.
00:14Is this true that you...
00:16Did you audition for Mean Girls?
00:17No, it's even worse. I turned it down.
00:20Oh, my gosh. What?!
00:22Okay, but listen. Here. There's a reason.
00:24There's a good reason.
00:25The only reason is because I was already supposed
00:29to do a film called Pretty Persuasion that was set in a high school
00:32that was very Heathers-esque, and it was very similar.
00:35And I was already kind of doing that,
00:37and so I was like, I can't. I can't.
00:39But, Tina, if you're here,
00:40I'm so sorry we got up on the wrong foot.
00:42I would love...
00:43As long as the next movie you're doing
00:45is not about a robot uprising, I will happily...
00:47Oh, my God. Yeah.
00:48That's sadly what she just wrote, her new movie.
00:50Really? Why?
00:53Last time you were here, you sang for us
00:54because everyone knows you as an actress.
00:55Yes.
00:55But you're also a great performer as well.
00:58Yeah, I love to sing.
00:58You got to do a thing involving one of your idols, David Bowie.
01:03Talk to me about this.
01:05Okay, so Mike Garson, who is David Bowie's piano player,
01:08he did his first show all the way to his last.
01:11Like, you know,
01:11Young Americans, that's Mike Garson.
01:14He's the one playing it.
01:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17And Jerry Leonard and Earl Slick,
01:20all the guys that played with Bowie after he passed it.
01:24They've now done this tribute tour.
01:25So it's not a cover band. It's the band.
01:29So...
01:30It's the actual band.
01:31It's the actual band.
01:32So when you're there, it sounds as close as you're gonna get to Bowie.
01:34And they basically asked me to come in and sing some Bowie songs.
01:37So I got to fill in for him, basically.
01:40I mean, did you freak out? Did you get nervous?
01:43I did. I did.
01:43I sang Moon Age Daydream and Five Years,
01:46but I forgot about half of the song to Rock and Roll Suicide.
01:49Because all my dreams were coming true.
01:52My life flashed before my eyes.
01:53It's like if somebody...
01:54If you love The Beatles and somebody went,
01:56Hey, hey, would you mind coming and filling in for John Lennon?
01:59You'd be like, Yeah, absolutely.
02:01And then you got up on stage and you're like,
02:02All you need is...
02:05Oh, no!
02:06All you need is...
02:07Something!
02:08What? Like, that's basically what happened.
02:10Because I know these songs like the back of my hand,
02:12but it just was all gone.
02:13What happened? Did the people freak out or they were like...
02:15No, I managed to kind of compose myself.
02:19I looked at the crowd and saw what they were mouthing,
02:21and then I got back in the game.
02:25I saw this photo that you posted,
02:27and I have no idea what it actually is.
02:29Explain this to me. Where are you?
02:31Are you in a cave or something?
02:32I am in a cave, yes. This is after...
02:33You really are in a cave?
02:34I'm 1,000 feet underground in a place called Ruby Falls.
02:38How do you end up in a cave?
02:40And were you trapped?
02:41No.
02:42I was...
02:43It looks like a Skittle commercial.
02:46Yeah, it's a lot of colors.
02:47I have no idea.
02:47Is that wood paneling?
02:50Exactly.
02:50That's my basement.
02:52That's my bathroom.
02:53I was...
02:54No, I was performing with Bowie's band in Atlanta,
02:57and I drove there with my kid.
02:59He gets to come on tour with me now.
03:00He's 4 1⁄2.
03:01And so now we can do all the fun roadside attractions,
03:05like the world's largest pistachio and, like, Ruby Falls.
03:09The world's largest pistachio.
03:11The cheesy family trip stuff.
03:12I want to go there, yeah.
03:13That's fun.
03:14So I took him here.
03:15I took him to the cave, and, you know,
03:16it's 1,000 feet underground.
03:17There's this giant waterfall.
03:18But he's on the set of Westworld all the time.
03:20So he was like, yeah, it's, you know, I've seen better.
03:23Where are the cowboys?
03:24Where's the explosion?
03:24Where's the robots?
03:25Yeah.
03:25He was so underwhelmed.
03:27Does he like going to set?
03:29He loves it.
03:30He calls it cowboy land.
03:32He thinks, and he loves James Morrison.
03:34He calls him Teddy.
03:35He really thinks he's a cowboy.
03:37And he's going to grow up, and he's going to watch a show
03:39and be like, that's my cowboy land?
03:42Exactly, yeah.
03:43What is happening with season two?
03:45Because this is, yeah, your character.
03:47She's quite awake this season.
03:49She's no longer under anyone's control.
03:52So she's redefining herself, and she is pissed.
03:57She is upset.
03:58To say the least.
03:59I know that you're fighting for equal pay for women.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Fighting for, yes, many rights for women.
04:06Many things, yes.
04:07It's great that you're doing that.
04:09Yeah.
04:10You went to Washington, D.C., didn't you?
04:12I did.
04:12I went to Washington, D.C.
04:13I testified in front of Congress for a sexual assault survivor's bill of rights
04:19because it became a federal law, but, you know, it has to be...
04:22You know, the weed people know this.
04:24It's a federal law, but it has to be implemented in all 50 states separately.
04:29Talk to your local weed person, and they'll...
04:31They'll know.
04:32They'll know what you're talking about.
04:34They will.
04:34Yeah, they will.
04:36So, but it actually, because we did that, it's getting passed rapidly in all the states now.
04:42It just passed in New York, so it's still, yeah, the bill is getting traction.
04:48Yeah, so it's good.
04:49But also, the equal pay, I believe in equal pay as well, and you got some well-deserved good news.
04:56I just found out I'm getting equal pay, finally.
05:02I can't believe that.
05:04Yes, it's wonderful.
05:06It's a new thing, you know, HBO is doing, and we're hoping to set an example for other industries and
05:11businesses.
05:11And, yeah, you know, I've been an actor since I was a kid, so it only took 25 years.
05:16Dude, come on. That's sometimes it, right?
05:19Don't stop. Don't stop, man.
05:20But we got there.
05:21You got there. We got there.
05:22And now we lead the way. Yeah.
