Guest

You guys look great.

Brenda Song

Oh, thank you.

Kat Dennings

You too.

Brenda Song

Thank you.

Young Hollywood

So do you. Okay, so Dollface coming out on Hulu. How are you guys feeling?

Brenda Song

Good, excited.

Kat Dennings

It's been a while. I think we are all very excited for it to finally come out. It's been a long time in the making and I think the world is ready for this season.

Young Hollywood

Yes. My gosh, they definitely are. The trailer on, you know, YouTube everyone's commenting. This is long overdue. Everyone's very excited about it. Yeah. And in the show, there's like you have the lines where it's like, I have no idea what the heck I'm doing with my life, you know, very relatable stuff. So, from your guys's point of view, what is what advice would you give to, you know, girls and guys that relate to the show in the way that it's like, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Brenda Song

Keep going. Uh It'll all be okay at the end. I promise.

Kat Dennings

Yeah. Yeah, it's just the theme of this season, uh one of the themes is turning 30 for Jules and Madison. Um, it's kind of a big, you know, big birthday and they're dealing with it in totally different ways. So, like Madison can't wait and she wants to do like a big thing, and she has all these cool ideas and Jules like kind of doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't know why it's such a big deal. Um, so that, you know, that's a big theme this season. So I would say like, just keep aging. Keep going. Everything is a life lesson. Everything is a bump in the road. Like, just keep going. Just keep trucking along. There's a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere. I swear. It might be hard to see, but it's there. It's coming.

Brenda Song

Exactly. I would say lean on your friends. You know, if you don't know what you're doing with your life, you never underestimate the power of like your friend just holding up a mirror to you and being like, here's what you always talk about, here's what you love, here's what you're actually passionate about. Like, I feel like go to your friends and your family and your trusted people and ask them because it's so much easier for them to see you, you know, what your problems are.

Guest

Yeah. I mean, I think honestly, what this has taught you is like, not everybody has it figured out, and even the people that do kind of switch up their journey later on in life. So it's like, do what makes you happy and figure it out as you go. No one has, you know, a road map of how life works. So we're all just on the same kind of path of figuring it out and that's okay.

Young Hollywood

And there is a scene in the show too where it's, you know, there's a bar with rosé on tap. You can watch The Bachelor. What would your guys's ideal situation be for maybe it is a bar with rosé on tap or what would like the perfect spot be for you guys?

Kat Dennings

Golden Girls bar?

Brenda Song

Exactly. Exactly. A big couch with like we can we can knit, and we could like we could rosé on tap would be lovely. Like, I would love we could watch just great pottery throw down all day. Um, a huge library behind us. I'm an old lady, so it would be like, actually, did I just say like my G-spot would be your house? I think so. Um,

Guest

We're at Kat's house. Sounds incredible. My dream spot is Kat's home.

Young Hollywood

Okay. All right. Well, Shay had said in the other, we just interviewed her and she said that you would be knitting behind the scenes.

Brenda Song

One hundred percent. She knows she knows us well. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

Thank you both, well. Um, what about you, Kat? Same? Same situation?

Kat Dennings

Same. It's my house. Uh, it is the bar of my dreams. Uh, we've got snacks, we've got TV, it's really all happening. Um, yeah. Yeah, that's. I mean, I think when we heard that, we were like, why isn't there a place like this that exists? I mean, just a place for women to all be together and like, you know, we say in the show, you don't have to fear like betting like hit on, it's a safe environment and you're watching shows that you're, you know, mutually agreed upon that you all love that maybe aren't sports this time, or maybe there are. Um, but I love the rosé on tap, and I think that that would be really fun in real life.

Brenda Song

Yeah, or just the thought of like a a bar that shows things other than sports. Like, that's enough for me.

Young Hollywood

Oh my gosh, for sure. Love it. And there's also the scene. I love all the scenes because they're so relatable. So for Jules is, you know, composing a text, she ruins it, kind of butchers, you know, the whole text and everything like that. Is there ever been a point in your guys's life that you text a screenshot to your friends like, what should I say, whether it's like for to your boss, to somebody like somebody else? Do you over-analyze texting your friends?

Brenda Song

Oh, yeah. Well, I did that to you, like for an entire year, I think.

Kat Dennings

Oh, we did nothing. We we do that all the time. Still. About everything.

Brenda Song

Exactly.

Kat Dennings

Yeah, I think I think that's kind of a normal thing to do. I think any anyone who's like, what? That's crazy, they're not doing it right. Or they're lying. There's nobody who hasn't like been like, what do you think of this? What should I say? Like, come on.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. And for BTS from your guys's, uh, you know, standpoint, what was it like for you guys? Like behind the scenes? Were you always laughing? Were you FaceTiming at like your friends? What was it like?

Brenda Song

We were just, I mean, we were laughing and like running our lines. Yeah, and hanging out. Cuz again, we hadn't been, like we'd been in a pandemic for a year and a half, and so I hadn't been around that many people in a very long time, and I hadn't seen Kat or the girls in a really long time. So it was a lot of catch up, hanging out, eating, like running our lines. Um, it was really nice. It was like going back to summer camp after like, obviously a very long time. Um, it was really nice. It was fun.

Kat Dennings

Literally always laughing, and Shay is always pranking everyone. Like, literally always tricking everyone. Like, saying like the like she'll she'll be like, well you'll you'll think you're getting off work and she'll be like, they just said they need you another three hours.

Brenda Song

We definitely have fun. I think that Kat and Brenda are knitting somewhere, and then Ester and I are having really off-topic conversations about things that we hope nobody can ever hear us.

Kat Dennings

Yes. We get way too honest and weird and crazy.

Brenda Song

Yes. Like you're in the bar with the rosé on tap and still.

Kat Dennings

Literally.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. And for season two, have you both watched it all the way through, like on your own?

Brenda Song

I actually haven't. We just we're just getting like finalized episodes now, so I haven't actually watched it all the way through yet. I've seen I think I've seen six episodes.

Kat Dennings

You've already, we've already kind of seen it. We got the episodes ahead of time. I've actually watched it straight through three times now with different friends of mine, just because I feel like it's that perfect show that's super light and bingeable, but also just like enjoyable and a feel-good show after watching it, which is like hard to come by in this day and age.

Young Hollywood

It really is. Yeah. It's very, very relatable in the sense where it's like, we're all on the same page. Like that's so normal, you know, you relate to it. What's one part of the show for each of you that you each relate to the most? Whether it's your character or another character.

Guest

I think Stella's lack of not awareness, but like care about other people's opinions, you know, I think she really just does what she wants to do, and that's something that I admire and that I try and do in my own life as well. Um, and she just lives it day by day and lives it to the best of her abilities. So I I I mean, I really love playing her and I also feel like I add a lot of that to my real life.

Kat Dennings

Yeah. And I think Izzy's ability to grow and change is super inspiring and and motivating and so I'm I'm I'm into that.

Young Hollywood

Oh my gosh, for sure. And then you guys have like a group chat that you like stay in touch? Do you guys FaceTime ever like to stay, you know, from filming, you know?

Brenda Song

Ester and I just FaceTimed last night and then we definitely also have a group chat. So there is that.

Kat Dennings

Yes. Always randomly calling each other in our underwear and like, you know, one we've got Shay's the expert on the cool restaurants. Brenda's the organized one. You know, we all have our strengths that we go to each other for.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Love it. Yeah, love it. Well, it's cool that you guys are as close as you are outside of the show that as you are in the show, so.

Brenda Song

Yes.

Young Hollywood
