Well next time, we're going to be baking with Mandy. She's going to be doing it in the nude cuz it's very liberating. You know, it's the generations moving forward. So, we're going to be baking naked. The way you should.
Oh, you can put like uh like one of like the lambs and then like uh the air thing with a cloud, so it's like farting.
Yes, crew, welcome to the living room.
Yeah, I like it. Very cozy, very comfy. Really like these. Oh, recognizing faces, all of my best friends. I hang out with all these people. Of course, Betty White. Oh, we go way back.
What would you do on a night with Betty White?
You mean, what do I do on a night with Betty White?
Tell me, what do you do?
We hit the town. We go to the clubs. She gets me in real fast. She's got real good hook-ups at uh at all the clubs. If you want to get If you want to party, you go out with Betty White.
Wait, let's play with this. What would you do with Billy Crystal? What would you talk to him about?
Um, we wouldn't talk, he would just sing.
Billy Crystal would sing?
Mhm.
What would he sing to you?
Just sweet nothings.
And you would fall madly in love with him.
Mhm.
That's hilarious.
Deeper in love.
Well, we are all falling deeply in love with me. With you. Silicon Valley, HBO. Brava. Brava. I've never heard brava. Is that for a female? Instead of bravo, brava. Is that real?
I think so. Brava. I always say brava for females. I like that. I'm going to take that.
And your character, you're like the level-headed one there. She's the grounding force. She's like the mother hen, the mother of the dragons, if you will. HBO. Hello.
Hello. So, she uh yeah, she's definitely the audience's way in cuz she's like the only normal one, as they like to say. I mean, everyone's weird, but I guess Monica is very grounded. But yeah, it's kind of the audience's ways of like seeing into the like how they would react to the situation.
Does your life imitate art?
Oh god, no. No, I'm the weirdest one. Haven't you met me? Hello.
The cast, the show, it's all about tech. Yes. How tech savvy were you before you got into this show?
Not very tech savvy. I mean, just your average, you know, person using an iPhone and a computer. That's about the extent of my tech knowledge. And still is.
And still is. You're a Snapchat girl. Is that tech savvy?
It's more tech savvy than I got. I can work a filter and that is some skill. Yeah, I have gotten into Snapchat, which is so surprising for me because I'm not really I get very camera shy when it comes to social media. Like I can't take a selfie. It's the weirdest thing for me.
You camera shy.
Yes.
No.
I am. But on Snapchat, because I know it's going to disappear in 24 hours, I'm all for it. And I've gone on like really long tangent. One day I did this whole called it baking with Mandy and I took Snapchat on an adventure with me of baking these mini donuts. And but it was this like crazy character called Mandy and she's baking donuts. It's real good. And it's so was so weird. It was it's like so many people are tweeting at me like, I think Amanda Crew has lost her mind. Yeah. And I kind of felt like I did a little bit, but it was really fun.
But you know now, they have websites and and apps that save people's Snapchats. So, that's not stuff that's just gone. People are saving that stuff. You know that?
No more baking with Oh, yeah. No more nude ones.
Talk about it.
Well, next time, we're going to be baking with Mandy. She's going to be doing it in the nude cuz it's very liberating. And we're just, you know, it's the generations moving forward. So, we're going to be baking naked. The way you should.
There are certain parts of the body you don't want to burn.
Yeah, most of it, but specific parts that would be really painful to to. I mean, a wax is pretty much the most I would deal like I'm into waxing.
Yeah, really?
Yes. I like it.
You want to talk about it? Now, we'll just end on there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, you like baking, obviously.
I do like baking.
What's your go-to baking dish? And waxing at the same time. It's a great combination. Actually, roll out the table. We have a cake mixer and a waxer here.
Oh, perfect.
What's your go-to baking dish?
These donuts that I made, they're like mini donuts cuz I have a mini donut tray you can buy them. And so you bake them, so they're healthier for you. And they're also like I bring them to like parties and put them in a nice box and people think that I bought them. And I'm like, no, I made them but because they just look so look so professional.
Weird. I don't mean to burst your bubble, but what about donut and healthy? Yeah. There What is that?
Well, because they are baked. They're not fried. So, it's a lot healthier than normal donuts. And um, you know, that that's the health factor. Well, and they're mini so you're not eating a huge one.
That's like ordering the small fry. Or telling yourself that it's like, you know. I'm only going to have one ice cream sundae.
No, the thing you have to do, the best part about being in a relationship with a guy. And I do my boyfriend hates cuz every time we go out, I'm like, yeah, I'm just going to get like the salad with the fish. Make sure you get fries with yours. And then I just eat all of his fries. He's like, why don't you just order your own? I'm like, I don't really I don't want that. I just want like a couple. And then I eat all of them.
You think the fries don't go on your thighs at that point?
Yeah. Because I didn't order them so it's not like real.
Now, let's talk about your show. Going back to that. How's it feel to be like one of the only females amongst all those men?
All those men. Those guys are like brothers to me. I love them so much. And we've all gotten really, really close. And it's never felt like I'm the only girl because I don't feel isolated or anything. Martin Starr for a wrap gift, he got us all rings. You want to get a closer look at that? That's a ring. Yeah. That's that's wrapped around my finger.
