Leslie Bibb & Drew on Making A Fourth Movie with Sam Rockwell

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/CjojeHSeryMz

Leslie: Sam and I, my partner, who you know.

Drew: OK, her man is Sam Rockwell, the Academy Award winning actor. Sam and I did 'Charlie's Angels' together. We did 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind' where he played Chuck Barris directed by George Clooney, brother and sister in 'Everybody's Fine' with Robert De Niro, and then we did 'Charlie's Angels' where he is not the villain. And we wanna make a 4th.

Leslie: He does. He's obsessed. He's like, 'I gotta bring Drew out. I wanna make Drew's gotta be back.'

Drew: I wanna make a 4th with him. If he'll do it, I'll do it. I mean, he's like my lifelong cinematic partner. He's like Adam Sandler. Like there's that we've made 3 movies together. Adam and I have made 3 movies together. We need to do a fourth.

Leslie: I know you guys are really magical together.

Drew: Well, his new movie is, everybody's talking Academy Award all over again.

Leslie: He's so good and he works so hard. I love his work ethic. It's very inspiring to me, and you know he's such a kind person and like a generous actor -

Drew: And fun,

Leslie: Really fun

Drew: And a great dance dancer. He is like I call him Mr. Capezio because he's always got the shoes on and it doesn't matter where you are, a dance will break out, he's so full of life.

Leslie on her Home Renovation

Leslie: So we bought this house. It's from 1755. I feel like there were no, there's no ghosts.

Drew: I meant like everything's gonna present as needing to be tended to.

Leslie: Everything. But then this is what happens. Sam's like, 'Oh, the house looks fine' and then you start taking down walls, and then you're like, 'Oh, that's not fine. Everybody's not fine in this, in this house' so it's become like a full gut, and it's been really fun and my best friend Sean Henderson is helping me do it because I don't know about you guys, but like home renovations are hard.

Drew: No, no, I took on one, it took me 3 years. It took me mentally down and I hate to tell you this, but it was a house from 1730 something. But you'll be fine.

Leslie on Working in Coffee Shop at 7-Years-Old & Hanging with Hunter S. Thompson at 18

Drew: You worked in a coffee shop when you were 7 years old.

Leslie: 7. I would walk down in Nelson County. There was like one, you'd, it's such a small town, and I would walk into town and I just wanted to get behind there and they'd let me fill up Cokes and then I just wanted my paws on that cash register. Oh, I just loved like that, so they'd let me work. I don't know. Where's my mother at this point, but I was like raised by a wolf.

Drew: I worked at 11 months old. I say it's all fine, yeah, it's all fine.

Leslie: So, but I loved it. It gave me something to do, and then I did hang out -

Drew: At Hunter S. Thompson's house in Aspen.

Leslie: When I was 18 years old I went to Aspen and my friend, this photographer and this model, said, 'Hey, we're gonna go to this guy's house.' I didn't know who Hunter S. Thompson was, but Ed Bradley was there, and I remember he had an earring in his ear, and I'd never noticed that, and I was like, 'Mama, I met Ed Bradley last night' and he had an earring, and they were reading the Declaration of Independence while Hunter filmed it, and he had a lot of like taxidermy. It was a very strange, I didn't know who the heck he was, but I was at his house.

Chris Perfetti on Reading "Abbott Elementary" Pilot

Drew: 'Abbott Elementary' is in its 6th season. Did you think it would go that far?

Chris: I mean, I've thought about this quite a lot. I remember when I read Quinta's pilot, and I remember sitting on a park bench reading the pilot of 'Abbott.' I remember thinking like, if, you know, ABC has the guts to not, you know, mess with this too much, it could be really, really special. I just felt like she was writing for herself. It was deeply funny and very real and as happy as I am that like the world has seen 'Abbott' and embraced it and, you know, we get to go to, I think there's very few shows who have made 100 episodes and been nominated for Best Comedy 5 years in a row and I'm just like it's not lost on me how fabulous that is.

Chris on His Fashion Choices and Getting to Try Different Things

Drew: Like who makes this, may I ask?

Chris: Thank you, Drew. These guys are called Tanner Fletcher. I'm obsessed with them. That awesome suit that I wore to the Emmys is also them. This is just like a blast for me, you know, in high school and, and middle school I did it vis a vis thrift stores and I really tried it all, you know, I was a weirdo, and now I'm trying to be weird again and, and people are, are offering to dress me, which is, you know, such an honor. You know, when you find somebody whose work you adore, you just gotta kind of go with them.

Drew: I love that rose brooch that rose pin keeping the jacket.

Chris: Make a rose a pin, dude, make a rose a button.

Drew: I just, I love it and I love the shirt over the shoulder or the jacket over the shoulders, which I know is not hard, it's not easy to pull that off. Like it looks so cool, but you do feel like you're carrying children on your back that are gonna fall.

Drew Surprises Dinosaur Fan Chris with One-of-a-Kind Membership Card to Museum of Natural History

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/JIuhEOCXBkM3

Drew: Is it true that growing up you were a big dinosaur fan?

Chris: I mean, everybody's a big dinosaur fan before you learn what happened to them, yeah no, I still am. I mean, my father actually really instilled sort of a love of the natural world in me, and I do love what it gave me, which is, you know, if you look at my Netflix queue, it's like all David Attenborough, whatever, it's really, it's sort of the queue of like a 90 year old man, right?

Drew: Like, here's recommended watching for you, like otters being born and stuff like that.

Chris: That I would watch.

Drew:…Well, I actually have a present for you, oh thank you angel so much.

Chris: Are you kidding? Gorgeous. What red carpet will I wear this on?

Drew: By the way, just so you know, these people are not joking around at the American Museum of Natural History. This is the legit organization. They don't do this, by the way, but they made an exception for you. This is your own membership card with your name on it. They don't exist, but they made you one. And they want you to be a member, so it has your name on it and everything look.

Chris: It does have my name on it, and it has my Social Security number on it, which is strange.
