Ep 114: Alison Brie & Mimosas - "Somebody I Used To Know"

that movies on a plane I'll be like I'll watch Transformers 4 which I wouldn't
watch on land
but in the sky I'll do it in air or sea I'll do it on the sea as well what do
you call it
international waters you know well we're joined by Alison Bray we're very
excited to have you here
thanks for having me excited to be here what do you think about my mic
placement
that looks pretty good solid a little closer easy Matt bring it in there you go
and we have Steph
guest bartending here today thanks for joining us Steph all right Steph best
hair in bed sty and you
guys have a google search of me up for me to look at just in case during a
passionate scene from your
new movie uh somebody I used to know now streaming on Amazon check it out you
got that right directed
by your husband that's right and co-written by he and I that's yeah is that
awkward me it was
awkward no wow I couldn't write anything with my wife she would just be like
that that line you have
sucks really yeah I like my line that line you did you run bits by her though
now yeah I run bits by her
but uh we couldn't write a movie that's it's tough to work with someone you
date that's that can't be
easy well that's why we're married yeah it's true that's the only reason we got
married because we were
like we gotta work together yeah but I think it helped my my wife is also a
comic so that it helps
and it hurts you know sure some places you're like this is great we can talk
comedy you understand
the lingo but then also you're like I could have gotten that gig oh no just
kidding I don't know if
Dave and I are ever competing for roles but I'm not going to take it totally
off the table there
could have been yeah could he uh it was Jay Ellis who's by the way a fucking
hot dude
that's a hot man attractive I was lost in his eyes oh yeah yeah was there any
point where you're
writing it where you're where Dave is like I could play this guy and then you're
like he's got to be
black yeah I was like I would prefer Jay Ellis um there really never was
because I think you know
Dave's directorial debut was The Rental it's a horror movie and I got to act in
that which was
awesome and I feel like he realized on that he didn't act in it and it was the
saving grace it
was like when you're directing you just want to be fully focused on that one
thing and not have to
be thinking about your performance and it slows everything down having to watch
playback and do all
that stuff and I just think that worked so well that going into this that was
the genetic makeup of
it from the start is like oh now let's write something together and now
recreate that same
uh you know way of working with him directing and me right but so he wasn't
going to play the role
now Jay is so much hotter whoa whoa I didn't say hotter I did not say hotter I
mean you know Dave's
I said attractive period did you meet Dave on a movie or no no Dave and I met
at Mardi Gras in New
what oh wow yeah my hometown really yeah yeah I love New Orleans hell of a town
and Mardi Gras my
favorite holiday I love Mardi Gras I used to go all the time with my community
crew oh yeah went down
there with Danny and Donald and Ken and Joe Russo that was the first trip and
then we went down the
next year uh with Joe and a couple of my girlfriends and one of my friends knew
Dave we ran into him at
the airport actually on the way there he was just heading back he was shooting
a movie there um heading
back from like a weekend home and she invited him to dinner with us and he came
to dinner and then she
did a little setup so we're at dinner Dave gets to dinner late he's got a whole
other side of the
story where he actually said he couldn't come to dinner because he had plans
all his plans got canceled
when we landed in in the city for some reason so he by the time he gets to
dinner we're all drunk and
he sits next to my friend Jules and I'm across the table and I get a text from
her and it's like you
should hook up with Dave whoa and I was like yep yes please I'm in I was super
single I was hooking up
and it's NOLA you get crazy what else am I gonna do this weekend it's like
flights there's no rules
in New Orleans exactly Vegas New Orleans Nashville there's certain cities
really Wuhan
I'll take your word for it um so I text back enthusiastically meanwhile across
the table she
shows the exchange to Dave she's like points at me that's the gal like what do
you think and he's
like I'm in she's like don't tell her that I showed you this text exchange 10
minutes later she
and I get up to go to the bathroom she's like maybe you and Dave and I'm like I
mean I'm into it I don't
know if he's would be interested and she's like he's interested I showed him
your text under the
table don't tell him that I told you that I showed him so we left the
restaurant we both had a sexy
secret knew that the other person was like on board yeah at the next location I
kind of like sidled up
to him at the bar with a beer and I was like there's Molly in this beer oh I
think we should split the
beer and have a great night together what do you say holy shit yeah and he said
yeah
wow this should be the movie this is amazing but with a black guy but what do
you think about is
Molly what is that like you've never done Molly no I've never done it hold on
well speaking of
drinks let's get some of these drinks over here oh yeah and we're doing mimosas
you had to take
the edge off yeah oh thank you all right all right gracias we're doing mimosas
to get our vitamin c in
because we're classy ladies and you're doing a press tour so you have to stay
healthy I'm trying to
stay healthy cheers hey mazel 12 years sober down the drain mmm I'm glad I
could be the one to break
that cycle I am on the road with a sober guy and it annoys me he's my opener
sober and it annoys me
and I because it just bugs me I want I have two other people pure of a
lifestyle I bring a tour
manager on track too much he's married he's got two kids but it still bugs me
and I have a tour
manager will drink with me and I have James who films oh yeah thanks with me
yeah but I want Gary
to drink with me and I asked him like you've been sober for how long and he's
like it's like a year
and I said if you had one sip it'd be all down the drain though so I kind of
wanted to trick him
into drinking oh my god I don't condone it if he takes one sip he's back in the
game that's true
and he's a little guy so oh wow he's a lightweight you're just slipping into
his sparkling a little
vodka into his sparkling water just half an ounce the sobriety's done that's
not that's not Cosby
bad I don't condone it this is how Matt Lauer started I'm just gonna get a
button
it's just a button you know so that's a great story though I mean that's that's
that's pretty
cool yeah it was a great 48 hours let me tell you wow man that's a hot start
and that was 11 years
ago wow so ladies you should hook up the first night because you never know
that's my motto yeah and it worked out there you go I see that don't you find
sometimes that
because that text message and the hookup and the flirting and the knowing it's
gonna happen is
almost hotter than the actual intercourse yeah it's like you don't want there
to be too much buildup
I say you want to kind of go in for the kill right away and see if it's gonna
work out yeah I agree with
you I the consent is hotter than the sex yes I just want to know it's possible
right because I'll in I'll
disappoint you later but that ultimately yeah good I'm tired and I want to go
to bed right you're in
oh great literally is he doing the press tour too or he's doing it he's doing
it too we're sort of
dividing and conquering nice smart smart two fronts yeah I've been re-watching
community just randomly
so it's weird that you hit us you know that your people hit us up and we're
like oh I've just been
watching it on the road I need a light I need a light road show yeah it's so
good one such good
writing thank you yeah it holds up I I have recently I recently re-watched uh
some of it because I love
to watch my own work no they you know it went up on Netflix during COVID and I
just re-watched a bunch
of it and I loved it it's great it's full of jokes it's a great cast it's very
edgy too you know I think
like a lot of the writing was towing that line for a network comedy for sure of
like getting in some
good jabs I don't know is there it might have been the last kind of edgy jokey
punchy comedy on
network yeah well I mean even like Atlanta is now FX not FX that's and that's a
different type of
yeah that's beautiful great show great show but it was like the office and 30
rock and the rest of
development and community and then we're in that block yeah we're in that block
of 30 rock it was the
office 30 rock parks and rec and then us that was like the dream three years or
however long that
block was going it was like whoa this is awesome yeah but but even the office I
feel like had like new
life on Netflix true true number one show yeah all the gen z's are like what is
this show I'm
discovering it look what I found you guys got to try taxi you got to show like
a real old show
Seinfeld right really cool show people probably discovered oh for sure I mean I'm
I'm honestly
Dave and I have been watching an episode of Seinfeld every night before we go
to bed just to get it
back in our system and it's so it's the best it's incredible and you see all
these other shows now
doing a lot of their storylines totally well it's so funny having not watched
Seinfeld in a long long
time and I don't think I ever even saw all the episodes because you didn't have
a Netflix or
somewhere right you would just catch them whenever they were on but I've
probably I've probably seen
all of Curb Your Enthusiasm which is obviously amazing and of course Larry
David so then you go
back and watch Seinfeld and you see a lot of those storylines I know you're
like oh the person who says
happy new year for too long like a lot of those little jokes yes the best come
back around and
I love it it's called Jewish comedy yeah Larry I was watching a curb yesterday
the accidental text on
purpose on my flight back you're hung over you're like thank god for curb
because the selection on
Delta is not that great not great oh interesting and it must be fun for Gen Z
to go back and be like
whoa a gay joke what is this sorcery holy hell but the office was chock full of
dark stuff
yeah some of it's it's like yeah now it's all the game of like did this age
well like where are we
you know what it's a dangerous game to play because it's comedy if it worked
yeah it worked you know
and that's how you view it you view it through the time cap so when you start
analyzing that stuff
you go you go nuts right definitely and I don't even really have I can't have
perspective on it
because it's stuff that I loved and watched always totally right sometimes it's
even hard for me to
be like oh okay I guess I understand why yeah people are finding that offensive
now you know yeah
sometimes it is funny when you watch it is funny when you watch uh I was really
hung over a couple
weeks ago on a flight and I was like let me just watch like something light and
I'm seeing a
pattern here with the hangovers keep a drinking podcast I'm not judging doing
research it's called
research yeah but I put on that movie just friends and I'm like I feel like
eight of the punch lines
are just you're gay oh my god every joke was just like you're gay that's half
of apatow too
yeah that's why his movies are so long you gotta get enough of those gay jokes
we gotta edit in 20
minutes of unedited we're gonna add them in post yeah yeah I love that movie
just friends did you
notice well clearly you've maybe not watched our movie yet but Julie no we
watched it
oh Julie Haggerty who plays the mom is the mom in yours yeah she's great
be yourself be yourself I love her you have all these great comedy cameos in
this there's you know
Amy Sedaris is in this yeah hero Sam Richardson yeah are
