Hi, you too.

What's going on?

Hi, how are you?

Where are each of you right now?

Man. I'll I'm in South of France right now in an area called St. Maxim. And

Yo, how far how far is that from the Maldives?

Oh, I have no clue.

All right. That's a good question. You tell me. I'm a bit, I didn't know either. I thought I thought maybe that's one of them things that you just knew off the top. It was just some quick thing. I'm like, oh, it's about 50 miles, 10. 3 hours. And if you hop on the other jet.

No, I don't know, Jay.

Where are you, Jay?

I am in Tarzana. I'm I'm in I'm in California, you know, it's kind of early. It's early here, you know.

What's up? Hey. I'm in Los Angeles. It's so early. It's so early. Early, guys. I think that's my fault.

So when when was the last time you saw each other, you're filming the the movie?

Gosh, that was the last time I saw you, Jay. Yeah, yeah, it was like

Yeah, it was uh December.

December. Yeah, that's the last time we saw each other, December.

Yeah, yeah, last time was December but we keep up with we all keeping uh touch with each other. We have a WhatsApp group chat. And so we all, uh, we all like WhatsApp each other and send pictures or keep like tell each other what we're doing and stuff. It's like we've become a little family, so we keep up with each other.

Yeah, and we we didn't we didn't stop right after production like most people. You know what I mean? We This has been like she's saying, it's been going on. So we're a family. We we have a lot of camaraderie in our cast. And it's uh Yeah.

That's good to hear. It's so beautiful. Yeah. How was it actually learning and finding out and playing each other's exes? Probably fun.

Well, can I start? Can I say First off, I was a fan of Jay um because I think I've, you know, I've watched him on television. He's super funny. But then on top of that, um so I had to like go through an like an audition process with a couple guys. And Jay was the first guy who we like, you know, they wanted to It wasn't an audition, but it was like a chemistry kind of read. And so I read together with Jay and let's just say Jay made it so hard for any guy that read after him. He was just so natural, not even it we didn't like the parts that we did weren't even about being funny, but the connection that Erica and Jason had and about their story and this this this this roller coaster that they're going through and he had he brought lots of different emotion to it. I really felt it and he was just awesome like from the start. So, um that's what I have to say, Jay. So, beat that.

Well, What do you have to say about me?

Well, uh, I was uh I was definitely a super fan of uh Miss Christina Million uh from a from an earlier age. And uh uh I had a crush. So, and I always I always wanted to work with her. I I saw she worked with uh she had worked with Nick Cannon and I had seen uh I saw the other gentleman uh at the end the movie she did before I I was like, "Uh, okay." So, I want to make sure that I want to make sure I get a chance to do that. So, when the script came and we had the read, it just we just clicked. And uh yeah. I was like, I'm I'm They get back together, right? Can we write that and you know, but it was. And let me just say, one of the one of the best her talent speaks for itself. But, you know, um working with her, I understand and get why and you all should, too. You you of course you see it, but you get first first-hand in person why she's had such a long-lived career, you know, because she's she's really amazing.

Jay, Amicable, nice, uh from the DMV. Hey, what up, Marilyn?

Hey, y'all. Hey, we're both from the DMV. Hello. You know, you know. So, uh, it was And by the way, we both work with our family. We we both one thing I was also really impressed with and I don't see this often because I work together with my mom is that Jay also works with his family. He works with his um sister. Um she helps manage his career as well. His mom was there to help his sister out and she also like she shows up, by the way, in a couple of his projects, including this one. So, I thought that was cool because usually I'm the only one there with my mom and my mom manages me and so, um or with people in my family. So this is like the biggest entourage I ever had probably you'd say because it was my mom, my sister, um my spouse, my baby, my nephew. So, family was there and I was happy to see another person that was representing family, too.

Yes, it is. Business and family was cool.

Yeah. And do you guys have your phones by you or you don't have your phones?

I don't know you to be taking too many selfies while we were working. It's funny because you know, we were really living in the moment. And I actually really don't have that many photos as I usually take, um while I was working because we were like working and I was like really enjoying the moment with the people. So, I was going through and I was trying to make a little collage video the other day and I was like, dang, I got to ask everybody else for videos 'cause I don't have any.
