2, 3, 1, 2, 3, now, now, now, now, now. We were, we did the, like the movie scream. One, two, three. But now it's like, she's back here. I'm so excited. You're back. And you look amazing.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Because the last time you were here you were pregnant. It was I think it was four years ago.
Oh yeah, it was so fun. I remember the scream too, cuz my, my throat was like, after. And they were cringing behind the cameras.
Yeah, should we do it again?
Yeah. I think we should like the, like the, when you see your best friend after a really long time, how you react.
Okay. To camera?
Yeah, sure. Okay, here we go. One, two, three. Okay. volume back up now. Yes. This is your bonus. He feels so like, you feel great afterwards. Wow. We should do that more often. And now we need like a yoga class or something. Calm down.
So, you have continued to, since the last time I saw you, work and work and work and I knew you would.
Thank you.
But the good witch. Yes. Hallmark picked up for second season. We just found out. We could scream again. Should we? I hate this. Basketball? My parents? I, I'm stuck between them and they really hate each other. Dad wants me to stay here. My mom wants me to go with her. But what do you want? I wanna go to Hong Kong and back to New York. No, you don't. How would you know? I just do. On the show, you can see what happens before it happens. Yes. You, you have a, you have sort of premonitions.
Yes, exactly.
Do you have that in life?
It's funny, I actually do sometimes.
Do you?
Yeah, and a lot of people don't believe me, but I do. And my brother, my brother Conner is the same way. And I used to tell him all the time. I'd be like, Conner, I swear, like I dreamt this last night. It's not déjà vu, it's something. And he was like, I'm the same way. But nobody believes me. So yeah, I can kind of relate.
Do you have any good stories?
No. It's mostly just has to do with me falling, but then like I know, I don't know. I know little stuff. Like we're gonna go to the grocery store and my mom's gonna say, don't forget to get lettuce on isle ten.
I always have that thing where someone hasn't called me in a year and I think about them and then they call me the next day.
Oh my god.
And then you say, I was just gonna call you. And they're like, yeah, sure you haven't called me in a year.
You do think about each other at the same time. You really, really do.
So do you believe in that kind of thing? Like that, that there's energies and vibrations and and I think that, I think that you pop up in people's minds when, when you need to. So, because we were dealing with witches on this show, if you could put a spell on anyone, who would it be and what kind of spell would you put on them?
Oh, that is so hard. I mean this sounds so wrong to like put a spell on someone. I'd probably put a spell on my dog. Okay. And it would be so I could hear what my dog's thoughts were. Yeah, because I feel like she's really happy and then I feel like she's a little judgmental sometimes. And I would like to know what I could do to make her happy. She's very like And then she sighs and she gives me like an eye roll. And I'm like, don't eye roll at me, young lady. You are not allowed to do that.
What kind of dog?
A golden doodle. Golden retriever and a poodle. And now she has my little niece. So now she has a little one running around pulling her tail all the time. And she knows that if that if she doesn't like growl or do anything, she'll get a treat. So Riley will just like yank her tail and she'll be like, And then Kate will be like, do you want a treat? And she's like, yes, please. I was for. So I'd like to be in her head. It'd be fun.
That's a good one. Good choice. What would you do?
I'd put a spell on a dude for sure. I wish I thought of that. No, we shouldn't get into that. Fall in love with me. Everything I say is amazing. Everything I do is amazing. And they never fall out of love no matter what happens.
That's very smart.
No matter, you know, like what I look like at home in my pajamas, like watching, you know,
That's good.
Or just be like in a guy's head. I've always want to be like a funny, like a YouTube video like, like how girls think guys act versus how guys really are.
Versus how guys really are.
Because I mean, our media thing is like, oh yeah, I'm cool like I'm not gonna text right now. Like whatever. And then they're probably not cooler than that. So then that's what's in my head. Oh, should we, should we do it? Should we do it? Yeah. When a guy, okay, if a guy doesn't text you back right away,
Oh, what do we think?
You reread your text a million times and you're like, oh my god, I had a spelling error. Now he thinks I'm dumb. That's like. He hasn't checked back. He hasn't checked. spelling error. I checked my friends sometimes and I'm like, he didn't write back. And they're like, when'd you write him? And I was like a minute and 47 seconds ago. Yes. And they're like
It's true.
Probably isn't on their phone or thinking of a response. But that's immediately like the response. And then we text again. And then we think, oh, now they think we're crazy. Now we think we're crazy. Now they think we're like latching on or something. And meanwhile, the reality is, they're just like eating nachos and they're like, and they're like, oh, okay. Oh, basketball. And they put it down. Oh wait, so um, what was the Schmidt, the new girl thing? We love Schmidt. I love Schmidt. He favorited my tweet. No. I'm not even kidding you. He just favorited my tweet. I am, I screamed in the car and the driver thought like I was gonna scream. I'm okay. I can't. I need to. I need to really think that I'm a little bit.
Can you do an impression? Of Schmidt?
Yeah. I just started. I just started on the first. Okay, hold on. You know he's like he thinks he's like shirtless. He thinks he like looks really good all the time. So funny. Like something to do with that, like his body been at the gym, something like that. Okay, okay, ready? You guys see this? Huh? Jess? Okay, you go. You go to high school. But you see this? This is what works. Okay? This is what works. This is what works. This is what the ladies like, okay? Yeah, this is what works. And you gotta go. And you go to school over there and you look at you. What are you doing? Sitting over there. If you guys want Schmidt, you gotta get the Schmidt. To get the Schmidt. I have to work to get the Schmidt. Okay? Thank you. I'm leaving. Like he's literally like, he's so quick and he like, he just keeps on referring to himself and they're like, the jar. And he's like, I already got the money. And he like puts it in. It's such a good show. Zoey Deschanel knows me. Like I am. Oh yeah. In, in the show. When she does like the chicken dance and she's like, I need a pet cuz it's, I think it's more relatable. Like she, like I get it.
At the end we're standing up. We're doing the chicken dance. Um, I have a little game for you.
Yay.
Because this is on Hallmark. I'm gonna read you a Hallmark greeting card. And you're gonna tell me if it's a real one or a fake one. Again. Real or fake Hallmark. Don't think of it as losing your job. Think of it as a time out between stupid bosses.
That's fake.
It's real.
No way. It's real. Are you serious?
It's a new one.
I didn't know. I mean, Hallmark was cool, but they are cool right now. They're really, they're really getting with it. I need to okay. Okay, okay.
Hey. Okay. I think I might be a squirrel cuz I like you and you're being a nut. That's so good. True, false.
False. First thing you said.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. It's a real Hallmark.
It's a real Hallmark. Okay, okay, okay. Okay.
Hey, just thought I'd drop you a note to say I love you. April Fools.
Oh, that's, that's not very nice. Hallmark would do that. Hallmark would not do that to people. So does that mean you're saying
False, finally. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. My latest status update is that I really don't have a status update. But if that changes, I'll update you. You know, on my status.
False. Cuz it's too long. But it's really funny. No. Wait, I gotta start buying more cards. They're really getting with it, aren't they? They're getting down with it. They like accurately describe my feelings. Where'd you guys find it? You just like find it.
