Join Alex in the studio for a hilarious interview with Dave Franco.

  What is up Daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy.

• 3:20Alex Cooper?

  Dave Franco, welcome to Call Her Daddy.

• 3:21Speaker 03

  Thank you so much.

• 3:22Alex Cooper?

  How are you feeling right now?

• 3:24Speaker 03

  I'm feeling pretty good. How are you feeling?

• 3:26Alex Cooper?

  I feel like this is kind of like a random matchup.

• 3:28Speaker 03

  Tell me, tell me why?

• 3:30Alex Cooper?

  I mean, I usually interview more women.

• 3:33Speaker 03

  Oh, okay.

• 3:33Alex Cooper?

  I do enjoy interviewing men. I feel like we haven't obviously like crossed paths ever.

• 3:40Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 3:40Alex Cooper?

  And I remember when I was talking to my team, I was like, I think we could, I think we could do something interesting here.

• 3:46Speaker 03

  I agree. And I just want to start by saying, first off, everything you're saying is accurate. But I did watch your documentary, which I absolutely loved.

• 3:57Alex Cooper?

  Oh, my God, thank you.

• 3:58Speaker 03

  And it was just me at home by myself, just crying my eyes out. And, and what I want to say is, I actually think we have a lot in common. And this is just kind of what I took, and please tell me if I'm wrong.

• 4:09Alex Cooper?

  Oh, yeah.

• 4:10Speaker 03

  But I think just kind of how you approach work, I really relate to it in the sense that it just seems like you're almost incapable of doing anything half-assed.

• 4:20Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 4:21Speaker 03

  You, everything you do, you want it to be unique and original and surprising. It seems like you love being a leader, but you also really appreciate and respect everyone around you and recognize this is a collaboration. And also, you work with your partner and you guys just build each other up in such a sweet way. And I relate to all of that.

• 4:40Alex Cooper?

  Dave, how am I supposed to now go in Roseville?

• 4:45Alex Cooper?

  I thought I was like, alright, now you're, I'm about to start crying. No, I really appreciate that because obviously I know you and we're gonna get to that work with your wife and which I like respect so much. And I always think it's so funny when people are like, how the fuck do you work with your partner?

• 4:57Speaker 03

  I know everyone asks it and they ask it in that tone. And I'm like, no, no, no. You're projecting on me because you're thinking about what it would be like working with your own partner. Like this works. Don't put that on us.

• 5:07Alex Cooper?

  Right. Like you guys have your own shit over there, but we couldn't be happier.

• 5:10Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 5:10Alex Cooper?

  It's the easiest part of my job.

• 5:11Speaker 03

  It really is. Yes.

• 5:13Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Thank you for saying that though, because you know how it is when you put out a piece of work and you're so anxious.

• 5:21Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 5:21Alex Cooper?

  And wanting people to enjoy it. But then you also have to stay true to yourself and make sure that creatively, even if people don't like it, like this is what I want to do and this is what I'm gonna do. And so it was a risk, but I'm happy you liked it.

• 5:32Speaker 03

  100%. And I feel like one thing that I have gotten better at over the years is really holding on to that idea where if I make something that I am genuinely proud of, of course I want it to resonate with audiences. Of course I want people to see it. But at the end of the day, it's like, I wouldn't have done this any differently. And so I gotta be happy with that.

• 5:52Alex Cooper?

  So true. I mean, it sucks when it bombs, but you know, you're like, okay, maybe I do need to go a little bit more mainstream on that next time. But it's very humbling.

• 6:02Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 6:02Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Usually when someone comes and sits down with me, I stalk them on social media just to like catch a vibe.

• 6:08Speaker 03

  Right.

• 6:08Alex Cooper?

  You don't have social media.

• 6:10Speaker 03

  That's correct. Yeah.

• 6:10Alex Cooper?

  Are you a very private person?

• 6:12Speaker 03

  I generally am, which makes kind of doing like promo for any movie a little strange because it's not like, it's not me and my element. But at the same time, I've also gotten much better at this where I recognize this is a big part of my job and I'm just gonna lean in and I'm gonna do my best and I'm gonna be as vulnerable as we, as I can be. But um, yeah, I'm not on social media and I. It kind of comes from a place of um being a little scared of it. Um, I, I think I've gotten into a place in my life where I've surrounded myself with really kind people who I love and trust. And so I have my like really warm little bubble and I know that if I'm on social media, it's like, no matter who you are, you're gonna receive some

• 6:56Speaker 03

  hate every single day. And I just didn't want to invite that into my daily life.

• 7:00Alex Cooper?

  Everyone's watching like, yeah, preach Dave, same Dave. Okay. How do you get intel on people?

• 7:06Speaker 03

  Uh, like on.

• 7:08Alex Cooper?

  If you're like, I guess you're a guy, you're, you, you don't even want the drama.

• 7:11Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't.

• 7:12Alex Cooper?

  Do you know what the team means? You know what the team?

• 7:14Speaker 03

  Of course. I'm not that old.

• 7:16Alex Cooper?

  Do you know what the renegade is?

• 7:17Speaker 03

  No, I am that old.

• 7:21Alex Cooper?

  It's a trend on TikTok.

• 7:22Speaker 03

  What is it? Tell me.

• 7:23Alex Cooper?

  It's a dance.

• 7:24Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 7:24Alex Cooper?

  Charli D'Amelio was like really known for it. Do you know who that is?

• 7:27Speaker 03

  I was, I was hoping you weren't gonna follow up with that question.

• 7:31Speaker 03

  Sip of water, I'm getting parched, hold on.

• 7:34Alex Cooper?

  Dave is literally like, I'm gonna just say yes to things. But then when she asks me like, explain, you're gonna be like, so no. But you know what TikTok is?

• 7:42Speaker 03

  Of course.

• 7:43Alex Cooper?

  Do you ever take thirst traps, like just for yourself?

• 7:45Speaker 03

  Uh, what do you mean, take thirst traps? I know what a thirst trap is, but what do you mean to take one?

• 7:50Alex Cooper?

  Like, do you ever just like, you know, take like a dashing selfie?

• 7:54Speaker 03

  Oh, oh, just for me. Um, no, I'll, I'll do it for Alison every once in a while.

• 8:00Alex Cooper?

  That's cute.

• 8:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 8:02Alex Cooper?

  Okay. How do you feel about opening up to the daddy gang today?

• 8:06Speaker 03

  I feel pretty good about it, actually. I, I, you know, since watching the documentary, since listening to some episodes, um, I just, I, I feel like I, I feel comfortable with your energy. And um, as you said, when I got here, you got me and I trust that.

• 8:21Alex Cooper?

  We're not gonna fuck this up.

• 8:22Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 8:23Alex Cooper?

  Has there ever been a time though, that you've done an interview or just like in your life that you've overshared and then regretted it later?

• 8:29Speaker 03

  Oh, man. Um, I'm sure. Oh, God. I mean, whatever it is, I probably don't want to bring it up again now. I'm sure I, I want it to be buried. But my wife is a massive overshare. Uh, she would admit that herself. Uh, you meet her and she will whatever you want to know.

• 8:49Alex Cooper?

  You're like, babe, babe.

• 8:50Speaker 03

  Truly.

• 8:51Alex Cooper?

  No, and she's like, one second, Dave. Anyway, so our family drama and you're like, what the fuck are you saying?

• 8:56Speaker 03

  Talking about my dick all of a sudden. I'm just like, babe, Jesus Christ.

• 9:01Alex Cooper?

  Did you tell anyone in your life that you were doing this day? And like, what were their thoughts?

• 9:05Speaker 03

  Of course. Yeah. And the honest truth is that like, uh, you know, my publicist, my, the distributor of this film, all they want to know is about is what are you doing, caller?

• 9:18Alex Cooper?

  What are you doing, caller daddy?

• 9:19Speaker 03

  Daddy. And I was like, guys, chill and stop putting pressure on this.

• 9:23Alex Cooper?

  I'm dead.

• 9:24Speaker 03

  But yes, everyone loves you and is very excited about this.

• 9:28Alex Cooper?

  Okay. So do you want to start with your sex life or your childhood trauma?

• 9:31Speaker 03

  Jesus Christ.

• 9:34Alex Cooper?

  I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm obsessed. We're going to start easy.

• 9:38Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 9:38Alex Cooper?

  I'm going to literally just like, give you a few things and you're just going to tell me your first reaction, how you feel about them. How do we feel about zins?

• 9:45Speaker 03

  Oh, man. I don't know what that is. I'm so sorry.

• 9:51Speaker 03

  Can I guess what this is?

• 9:52Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 9:52Speaker 03

  I think, is it like dip?

• 9:55Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 9:55Speaker 03

  Oh, good. Okay. Oh, I do know this. Okay. Okay.

• 9:57Alex Cooper?

  Do you, what is your vice? Like, do you don't do zins?

• 10:00Speaker 03

  I definitely don't. Um, I, my vice, oh my God. Uh, I mean, I'm the guy who,

• 10:08Speaker 03

  the guy who's getting frisky when he like splits a second glass of wine with his wife at dinner.

• 10:15Alex Cooper?

  That's so fucking real. How old are you?

• 10:17Speaker 03

  I'm 40. I just turned 40.

• 10:19Alex Cooper?

  Oh my God, that, no, that tracks. I feel like once you hit 30s, 40s, you're like, wine? I am insane. Like, I'm starting to feel that way. Getting into my 30s now, I'm like, I just had two glasses of wine. I'm like at the club. I'm sitting at my kitchen, but I feel like I'm at the club. You know what I mean?

• 10:36Speaker 03

  Totally. Yeah. Takes you out for the next week.

• 10:39Alex Cooper?

  Week, week. And this is on week, not day. Okay. How do you feel about the term short kings?

• 10:46Speaker 03

  I'm okay with that. I, I'm not trying to lie and pretend like I'm, I'm not what I am. I think I've embraced this many years ago and it's funny because like, you know what? It is what it is. And I think people like try to, try to come at you for this thing that I can't even control. And I'm like, it's fine. Like I, you know, I guess the main thing is my wife's down with it. And she's a little bit shorter than me. So that's good.

• 11:10Alex Cooper?

  And she's stunning, gorgeous, successful, smart, all the things. So like you're doing something right. Okay. Magic tricks.

• 11:17Speaker 03

  Um, I, I assume you bring this up because I've been in three magic movies.

• 11:22Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 11:23Speaker 03

  Um, I feel good about it. I, uh, I, I weirdly am like very good at throwing cards. Um, it's like kind of what my character does in the movie. And I remember on the first one, when I was learning how to do it, I had like stacks and stacks of cards. And it was just me in my apartment in New Orleans, throwing cards against the wall until my arm went dead. But now I can like cut a banana in half. And people are like, do you quick? So do you carry cards with you everywhere? And I'm like, no, I also am not going to be the guy who shows up at a party that's like, hey, guys, check this.

• 11:54Alex Cooper?

  That's literally almost as bad as the guy that like pulls out his guitar at a party and you're like.

• 11:57Speaker 03

  Yes, it's, it's worse.

• 11:59Alex Cooper?

  John, stop. Like you're not John Mayer. Shut the fuck up. Dude. Okay. But do you feel like people at parties are like looking for you to do party tricks now?

• 12:07Speaker 03

  It comes up, but again, no one has a deck of cards on them. So I get out of it pretty easy.

• 12:11Alex Cooper?

  That's fair.

• 12:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, there you go.

• 12:12Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Men with cats.

• 12:14Speaker 03

  I mean,

• 12:15Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 12:16Speaker 03

  If there was anything that defined me, um, you know, when I, when I met Allison, I was the single guy with two 18 pound cats. And I know, as you can imagine, we called them the Panthers. And, um, as you can imagine, that kind of weeds out the dating pool a bit. Um, not a lot of girls are down with that.

• 12:34Alex Cooper?

  Rewind.

• 12:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 12:35Alex Cooper?

  Eight, two 18 pound cats.

• 12:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 12:38Alex Cooper?

  What, when, how, why?

• 12:40Speaker 03

  You know, a lot of people are like, did you overfeed them? Were they fat? No, they were big proportionate cats. They just had big heads and their bodies followed suit.

• 12:49Alex Cooper?

  What? And did you get them at the same time?

• 12:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, they're brothers.

• 12:52Alex Cooper?

  Why did you decide cats were for you?

• 12:55Speaker 03

  We grew up with cats.

• 12:56Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 12:56Speaker 03

  Yes, yes. I assume, um, with your tonality that you did not.

• 13:01Alex Cooper?

  Well, no. And I, maybe this is me being like so, this is, this is definitely a sexist comment, but like, I don't think of men and cats as much. It's more of like a female thing, which is like so fucked up to say, but I'm going to say it. Um, it's not that bad. And the, you know, like chill, internet chill. We don't need to cancel me over saying men don't go with cats that well. But. Cats. Okay. And did you think about your dating life when you got the cats?

• 13:25Speaker 03

  No, no, the cats came first. Uh, and they were gonna decide who I should be with.

• 13:29Alex Cooper?

  Perfect, perfect. And I also love them, so you were fine.

• 13:31Speaker 03

  Yes. And what ended up happening was, um, we had been dating for a few months and I was spending most nights at her place and, um, the cats were feeling neglected. And so at one point I said to her, I was like, hey, I'm not asking to move in, but is it cool if my cats move into your place? Cause we're over here all the time. So we moved my cats in technically before I moved in.

• 13:50Alex Cooper?

  You bring the litter box?

• 13:52Speaker 03

  Truly, yeah.

• 13:54Alex Cooper?

  That is, I love that for you, Dave.

• 13:56Speaker 03

  Thank you.

• 13:57Alex Cooper?

  Okay. How do we feel about crying during rom coms?

• 14:00Speaker 03

  Oh yeah, all about it. I love a rom com. Um, the second movie I directed was a rom com.

• 14:05Alex Cooper?

  Favorite rom com?

• 14:06Speaker 03

  Ooh, I mean, gosh, the first one that come to mind, Notting Hill, When Harry Met Sally, classics, um, uh, Sleepless, Sleepless in Seattle.

• 14:17Alex Cooper?

  Oh my God, I remember that.

• 14:17Speaker 03

  What's yours?

• 14:18Alex Cooper?

  Oh, I would have to say Sleepless in Seattle growing up, but then The Proposal with Sandra Bullock.

• 14:22Speaker 03

  Fantastic.

• 14:23Alex Cooper?

  So fuck, oh my God. Um, okay. Keeping your childhood nickname.

• 14:27Speaker 03

  I mean, that's my life.

• 14:28Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, let's talk about it.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah.

• 14:30Alex Cooper?

  So what is your childhood nickname?

• 14:31Speaker 03

  Well, uh, Davy. Um, and most people in my life still call me Davy.

• 14:36Alex Cooper?

  Really?

• 14:36Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:37Alex Cooper?

  Does your wife call you Davy?

• 14:38Speaker 03

  What does she call me?

• 14:41Speaker 03

  I guess she calls me babe.

• 14:42Alex Cooper?

  Okay, yeah, yeah. She rarely, I feel like sometimes Matt calls me Alex. I'm like, oh, am I in trouble?

• 14:48Speaker 03

  Definitely.

• 14:48Alex Cooper?

  Cause he never calls me Alex. Then I'm like, what did I do?

• 14:51Speaker 03

  I know, I know. And so my, my real name is David, but no one has ever really called me that. And when I was a kid, uh, my brother had a, had this kid in his, um, in his class named David that he hated. So he said, you're not gonna be named David. That's how I became Davy. And I guess, you know, the people that know me well, most people call me Davy.

• 15:10Alex Cooper?

  So Dave is almost like formal for you.

• 15:12Speaker 03

  A little bit.

• 15:13Alex Cooper?

  This is like, is it, you're, yeah, you're like Dave Franco here, but then Davy at home.

• 15:17Speaker 03

  By the end of this interview, you'll be calling me Davy.

• 15:19Alex Cooper?

  Perfect. Okay, one of your first roles was in Superbad.

• 15:23Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 15:24Alex Cooper?

  And Jonah Hill calls you out for pissing your pants.

• 15:26Speaker 03

  Correct.

• 15:27Alex Cooper?

  Looking back, what was one of the most embarrassing things that ever happened to you in school?

• 15:33Speaker 03

  Ooh, okay, while I think about that, let me just talk about that scene in Superbad real quick.

• 15:37Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 15:38Speaker 03

  So I had a journey with that scene in and of itself where I only have a few lines in this movie, but the movie was so big that people did recognize me on the street and they were yelling at me, "Why don't you go piss your pants again?" And I quickly realized like, I gotta keep working and get more jobs so I'm not piss boy for the rest of my life.

• 15:59Alex Cooper?

  That is so real. It fucks my life.

• 16:04Speaker 03

  Okay, so I guess on theme with that, okay, I remember going to a party in high school. I was probably a junior and this like cool senior guy comes up to me, this like football player, and he says, "We're gonna sit down and we're gonna, we're gonna share this fifth of vodka and we're not leaving until we finish it." And I'm like, "Cool."

• 16:26Speaker 03

  You know, he's a big guy, he can handle his alcohol. I am not a big person, I was even smaller then. But I was trying to fit in, he was like the cool older guy. So we do it and I blackout and my friends, you know, tell me after the fact that people are sticking pens down my throat to get me to throw up. Cut to a couple hours later, I wake up on the floor of my friend's bedroom. I don't know where I am. I have pissed myself. I waddle to the bathroom to try to clean up. I turn on the lights and look in the mirror and I have penises drawn over every inch of my face. I know. So, so I don't have the energy or the strength to wash it off. I just wanna get home to my bed. So I finally make it home, I get in bed

• 17:08Speaker 03

  and almost immediately my mom comes in my bedroom and before she says anything, I say, I have penises on my face.

• 17:15Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 17:16Speaker 03

  I can see that, honey. And my sweet mom, she lets me sleep it off. Um, but I have not, uh, I wouldn't say I have not drink, uh, drank vodka since, but I despise vodka.

• 17:26Alex Cooper?

  I was gonna ask you, like, is there an alcohol? Cause for me, I cannot even smell Fireball. Like, I will fucking project vomit. So yours is vodka?

• 17:35Speaker 03

  Yes, and in college, God, what was the really cheap stuff? Pop off? Pop off?

• 17:40Alex Cooper?

  Oh, uh, no, wait, what the fuck is that?

• 17:43Speaker 03

  I'm old.

• 17:43Alex Cooper?

  No, no, but pop off.

• 17:45Speaker 03

  Pop off.

• 17:46Alex Cooper?

  Pop off, Dave, I mean, you popped off, okay? So that was your no, no, no, never again.

• 17:52Speaker 03

  No, ever again, yeah.

• 17:53Alex Cooper?

  I thought you were gonna say, and then from then on, I never had penises drawn on my face again.

• 17:57Speaker 03

  Oh, I'm wondering if that ever happened again.

• 18:00Speaker 03

  I can't say no, but nothing comes to mind.

• 18:02Alex Cooper?

  Okay, that is really sad and I, I now need to know, like, what was young Dave like? Like, did you go through an awkward phase?

• 18:09Speaker 03

  Um, I was, I was debilitatingly shy. Um, I was the kid who said like six words out loud in middle school. I was just so quiet and, you know, I remember I had, I had a crush on this girl in sixth grade and I heard that like, maybe she might sort of be kinda interested and I was like, okay, I'm gonna seal the deal, I'm gonna get her a present. So I went to, I went to 7-Eleven and I got her like a big bag of candy. And so I come to lunch the next day and I had this whole like thing in my head. It was gonna be this big romantic gesture. And when I was kinda confronted with the moment, um, just the anxiety took over. And so what happened was kinda saw her from a distance. Um, she was under the, under this tree with her friends.

• 18:53Speaker 03

  And I started running at her. And when I got close enough, I threw the bag of candy and continued running away without breaking stride.

• 19:04Alex Cooper?

  You literally did a hit and run.

• 19:06Speaker 03

  And, um, safe to say, we didn't end up together, but that, that's a good representative of who I was at the time.

• 19:12Alex Cooper?

  That's so innocent and pure and like, you can't even go up to her and give her candy.

• 19:17Speaker 03

  Truly, truly.

• 19:18Alex Cooper?

  Dave, why do you think you were so shy?

• 19:20Speaker 03

  God, I, I don't. I don't know. I really don't. I mean, I, I kind of, I got out of my shyness towards the end of high school, but um, you know, I was just a really sensitive kid. Like I was the guy who was listening to Goo Goo Dolls and Counting Crows and like the first John Mayer album Room for Squares and like, you know, I, I actually did. I had a longer term girlfriend in high school and I would, you know, again, I was writing, I was writing her poetry and like, I, I, but it was like, it was the type of poetry, like my process at the time was I would write everything out like

• 20:01Speaker 03

  in very simple terms. And then I would get a thesaurus and with every word in the poem,

• 20:09Alex Cooper?

  No.

• 20:09Speaker 03

  I would find like the most flowery version of that word. So these poems were like, you know, consistent of words like, uh, you know, bespoke and languid and chartreuse.

• 20:24Alex Cooper?

  We, and did your girlfriend love these or she's like?

• 20:27Speaker 03

  I don't know. I might have forced this on her.

• 20:30Alex Cooper?

  Holy shit. You like playing like Iris in the background like, and I give up forever to touch you. And you're like, my dear lover.

• 20:40Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 20:41Alex Cooper?

  That is so fucking amazing. Wait, were you bullied at all?

• 20:45Speaker 03

  You know, I wasn't. That was the thing. I wasn't the shy kid who got bullied. I was just left on his own. But, but I did have good friends. I, I will say, I, I had really great friends, but we, we had like kind of the group who we weren't the most popular. We weren't unpopular. We were just kind of there. We were playing ultimate frisbee at lunch.

• 21:07Alex Cooper?

  That is so, that really, really paints the picture.

• 21:11Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah, yeah.

• 21:12Alex Cooper?

  The guys in high school that were playing ultimate frisbee. I'm trying to think. Yeah. Okay. That tracks with then like the poems.

• 21:18Speaker 03

  Sure. And the two 18 pound cats. It's all, it's all lining up.

• 21:21Alex Cooper?

  But that I feel like is when women look back, they're like, and that is who I should have fucking married. But instead I talk to the fucking douchebag that made me cry my eyes out every five fucking second.

• 21:31Speaker 03

  Sure, sure.

• 21:32Alex Cooper?

  That, that makes sense. Um, I think a lot of people in the beginning of your career were always like, okay, this guy is always playing kind of like a high schooler. And it almost is like he's aging backwards.

• 21:40Speaker 03

  Sure. Yeah, yeah.

• 21:41Alex Cooper?

  Dave, talk me about the skincare routine.

• 21:44Speaker 03

  Oh, wow. Um.

• 21:47Speaker 03

  You know, the skincare routine is basically Allison's skincare routine. I've stolen everything from her. Why wouldn't I? She looks incredible.

• 21:53Alex Cooper?

  So fucking real. Men have no idea what they're doing. Matt says the same thing to me. He's like, what's that you're putting on, under your eyes? Should I be doing that?

• 22:01Speaker 03

  Absolutely.

• 22:03Alex Cooper?

  What? He has one lotion that he puts on his body and his face. And I'm like, honey.

• 22:09Speaker 03

  But you gotta start early before it's too late. You gotta get that sunscreen in your daily moisturizer.

• 22:14Alex Cooper?

  Are you messing around with like snail mucin? Yeah, no. Yeah. You're like, Allison, do we have snail mucin?

• 22:22Speaker 03

  Yeah, honestly, not no, but I can't confirm for sure.

• 22:26Alex Cooper?

  You don't even know what's going on your face. How many steps are in the routine? How about that?

• 22:30Speaker 03

  Ooh, um, I'm gonna say like three or four.

• 22:34Alex Cooper?

  Have you heard of like the salmon sperm that people are putting on their face?

• 22:38Speaker 03

  Go on.

• 22:38Alex Cooper?

  Would you try it?

• 22:40Speaker 03

  Tell me more.

• 22:41Alex Cooper?

  It's very hydrating.

• 22:42Speaker 03

  Okay, do you use it?

• 22:43Alex Cooper?

  Um, I've tried the snail mucin. I haven't tried the salmon sperm.

• 22:48Speaker 03

  You were just selling it hard.

• 22:49Alex Cooper?

  Well, I've heard Kim Kardashian has put it on her face. So I'm like, ooh, should I try this?

• 22:53Speaker 03

  You're open to it.

• 22:54Alex Cooper?

  I'm open.

• 22:54Speaker 03

  Dipping a toe in.

• 22:55Alex Cooper?

  Would you be open?

• 22:56Speaker 03

  If Allison does it, I'll do it.

• 22:58Alex Cooper?

Okay, high school drug dealer in 21 Jump Street. What was the most trouble that you ever got into in high school?

• 26:05Speaker 03

  Oh, God, not much.

• 26:07Alex Cooper?

  Not much. You didn't like get arrested?

• 26:09Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 26:12Speaker 03

  Ooh, my, my brothers both got arrested and I think because of that, and they're five and seven years older than me. And I think because of that, my parents, they, they were just very tired by the time I came along. I was definitely a mistake. My mom says it the best mistake she ever made. Uh, but they kind of let me do my thing because they just didn't have the energy. And I think because of that, I didn't feel the need to rebel. And so I was a pretty good kid.

• 26:40Alex Cooper?

  That makes so much sense because I feel like if you have wilder, older siblings, like my older siblings were not wild. So I was like the one truly wreaking havoc in my house where my mom was like, okay, Alex, like we can do this.

• 26:55Speaker 03

  What was the worst type of thing you would do?

• 26:56Alex Cooper?

  Oh my God, like I literally ordered like a fucking, at that time there wasn't Amazon. So I ordered like this, like retractable ladder off of eBay and I tried to figure how to put bolt into the bottom of my room and then I would flip it over my window. So I could climb out to go see my boyfriend who had a DUI at the time. And when he picked me up, he was had like literally the backwards hat, the earrings and he was like driving so fucking slow to his house. And I was like, wait, why are you driving so slow? My parents are going to be home soon. We have to get home. He's like, oh no, like I have a DUI. So like, I can't like, I'm driving on like, I don't have a license right now. And I literally was like, so hot. Like Alex, wake up, honey. This is not hot. This is problematic. But at the time I just was like a little rebellious with boys.

• 27:38Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 27:38Alex Cooper?

  But you were like, sitting in your room writing poetry.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  Exactly.

• 27:41Alex Cooper?

  You weren't getting in trouble.

• 27:42Speaker 03

  No.

• 27:43Alex Cooper?

  No, this is okay.

• 27:44Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 27:44Alex Cooper?

  Um, you said that you got cast in 21 Jump Street because of the sketches that you were doing on Funny or Die.

• 27:49Speaker 03

  Oh, oh.

• 27:50Alex Cooper?

  First of all, can you explain to people that may not know what that is? What is Funny or Die? And then also, I know, I'm sorry. You're like, okay, Alex, remind me one more time. No, no.

• 28:01Speaker 03

  Um, okay. Funny or Die was basically, um, a comedy sketch website run by, uh, Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow and Adam McKay, who were like, who were and are some of the best, you know, comedy people ever. Anyway, um, I, I started making videos for them with, um, one of my closest friends who I grew up. With and uh basically it was kind of my film school. We were, we were writing these videos. We were acting in them, directing them, editing them. And um, you know, we were making some weird stuff. This was like where we, we figured like, let's push the boundaries. Let's try things. And worst case scenario, no one sees them. But best case scenario, the, the, if a video hit on Funny or Die at the time,

• 28:46Speaker 03

  that website was so big that like more people could see it than if you did an independent film. And so the stuff that we were doing. Oh my god, what? Kind of bringing it back to 21 Jump Street. So with 21 Jump Street, uh, that audition process was very arduous. I went in like six or seven times for that movie. And towards the end of that process, I put out a video on Funny or Die where me and my good buddy, Chris Mintz Ploss, we made a video called You're So Hot, where we basically told each other in vivid detail how much we wanted to fuck each other. And uh, a- after I landed the role in 21 Jump Street, the directors told me, they were like, "Part of the reason we gave this to you is because we saw that video and we recognized that this guy understands comedy." Oh my god.

• 29:29Speaker 03

  But, believe it or not, that's not the weirdest video we put up. Um, I put up a video called Go Fuck Yourself, where it's, it's me and a girlfriend at the beginning. Um, we're breaking up and as, as she's leaving, she says, "Why don't you go fuck yourself?" And so then it cuts to me in a bar and I um, end up meeting another version of myself. And you can kind of see where this is going, but we, it cuts to us on the beach. We're having this like very cute beach day together. It's two versions of me. We're flying a kite. We're pushing each other on the swings. And then it hard cuts to me fucking myself so hard, where the top version of me is like flexing.

• 30:11Speaker 03

  And I remember sending the first cut to Funny or Die. And let's say the video is like, you know, two and a half minutes. I think like 45 seconds of that was me fucking myself. And they were like, "Okay, this is, this is pretty good, but um, you know, maybe make the sex scene like three seconds." You don't love this. This is incredible. To be fair, three seconds was like probably still two for two minutes.

• 30:35Alex Cooper?

  You're like, I thought it was like cinematic history. And meanwhile, they're like, can you cut it to a third?

• 30:41Speaker 03

  Truly.

• 30:41Alex Cooper?

  That is, okay, wow, that really paints the picture. But while you were saying that, I couldn't help but think also like, wait, where did you grow up?

• 30:48Speaker 03

  I grew up in Palo Alto in Northern California.

• 30:49Alex Cooper?

  Okay, so obviously you had family that was in the industry. Like, your brother was getting into it. And you say you're a shy kid.

• 30:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:57Alex Cooper?

  How did you know you even wanted to get into this industry?

• 31:00Speaker 03

  Um, you know, I, when I was, when I was 14, I worked at a mom and pop video store. And it was actually legal for me to be working there at that age. And so they basically paid me by allowing me to take home as many movies as I wanted. And it was the year 1999, which is now regarded as one of the best movie years ever. And it's like all these seminal films like, um, The Matrix, Blair Witch Project, American Beauty, American Pie, Fight Club, uh, Being John Malkovich, like all these amazing films that have kind of like formed me ever since. And so that was, that was like the perfect time to be working there and just got me into movies in general. And I was like, I just want to be a part of this any way I can. And so when I came out to, I'm going on a tangent now, sorry.

• 31:45Alex Cooper?

  You're good.

• 31:46Speaker 03

  I, I came out to LA originally to go to school. I was going to USC and when I came down here, my brother's manager, he kind of forced me into this acting class. But I had never performed in any way. And again, I was very shy and I, I remember being in this class and I was, I hated it at first because I was just like, every time I was on stage, I was so nervous. But in the back of my head, I was like, this is a path into this business and I, I want to stick it out. And over time, I really do think that helped bring me out of my shell a little bit. And it's kind of led to this like amazing thing now where of course I've like grown to really love acting. But now I'm lucky enough where I get to do some stuff behind the camera too, where I get to kind of go back and forth and, and do a little bit of everything that I've always wanted to do.

• 32:31Alex Cooper?

  Wow, that's really cool though, to hear like knowing your childhood and being like, you were like more introverted. You're writing, you're not as, you know, social. And then I do feel like I've talked to enough actors that were like, a lot of us are, were like, considered like maybe like the weirder kids or we were shyer. And then this kind of like brought a side out of you. Um, okay, we're going to do a little hard pivot here.

• 32:55Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 32:57Alex Cooper?

  I'll talk about surprise parties.

• 32:58Speaker 03

  Okay, you've done some research?

• 33:01Alex Cooper?

  I need you to talk about the time that your wife tried to throw you a surprise party. You need to tell us a story.

• 33:08Speaker 03

  Let me drink some water to get into this.

• 33:09Alex Cooper?

  Take a drink, because I think the daddy king needs to hear this, because I think this also does kind of paint more of the picture of you as a person.

• 33:16Speaker 03

  Yes, yes, okay, so, so Allison and I had been together just for a few months and my birthday was coming up and I will preface this by saying, everything she did was coming from such a sweet place. She was really trying to do something kind for me, but we just didn't know each other that well yet. And so in her mind, she was like, I'm gonna throw my surprise party, I'm gonna invite all these people, it's gonna be incredible, not knowing that like my perfect birthday is going out to the middle of nowhere, just being with her, I don't want anyone to talk to me, don't look at me, just want to be in nature, just by ourselves. So, um, basically what happens is I, I come home one day and I open the

• 34:01Speaker 03

  door and it's a bunch of people, not only is this a surprise party, but it's like a, I think it was a Back to the Future themed party, so they, everyone was dressed up and they had a little Marty McFly outfit for me and I'm looking around and some people are my friends, but some people I haven't talked to in many, many years and there was a reason for that. And so I, I decide to cope with this, I need to take, or I need to consume a weed cookie. And I ended up having the first panic attack of my life. And just to kind of like, just to kind of like give you the picture of how many people

• 34:44Speaker 03

  were there and how random this was, um, uh, my mom, so my mom was there, um, she, she flew out for it, but like she went to the 101 Cafe the next morning and the waiter at the 101 Cafe comes up to her and he's like, hey, I'm so sorry, this is so weird, are you Betsy Franco? And she's like, yeah. And he's like, oh, sorry, sorry, I just, I almost went to your son's surprise party last night.

• 35:07Alex Cooper?

  No, no.

• 35:08Speaker 03

  Random guy at the 101 Cafe was almost there. I'm remembering someone was dressed up as cocaine. Uh, it was, it was a whole thing. And so we, we still talk today, we, we survived the surprise party, we can survive anything, but every birthday since has been us in the middle of nature.

• 35:23Alex Cooper?

  Okay, hold on.

• 35:24Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 35:25Alex Cooper?

  How the fuck did she come up with the list of people she was inviting?

• 35:29Speaker 03

  What ended up happening was she went to two of my friends that she had met, who I adore these people, but I would not assign them to make the guest list for my surprise party. So they started adding people, those people started adding people, you know, my manager's assistant's best friend's sister was there. It just, it got weird.

• 35:50Alex Cooper?

  Picturing you thinking like, I'm gonna take this edible because this is gonna put me right where I need to be. And then what, are you like in the bathroom or in your bedroom?

• 35:58Speaker 03

  Eventually, eventually I was downstairs and I was like, everyone needs to leave. And of course, the guy dressed as cocaine would not leave.

• 36:04Alex Cooper?

  No, no, that's so real. You're like, bro, get the fuck out of my house. That is, wow. Okay, so now she's never done it again. And now you guys just chill.

• 36:13Speaker 03

  Go to nature. Yeah.

• 36:14Alex Cooper?

  What is it about being the center of attention that makes you uncomfortable?

• 36:17Speaker 03

  It's funny saying this on this podcast right now, but I don't love talking about myself. And I think part of that is, as much as I think I have gotten over my shyness to a certain extent, I think my, just my natural being is, I still am an introvert. And also like, I know everything about me and I'm bored of me and I'm a very curious person and I tend to ask a lot of questions. If you talk to anyone who knows me, like some people call me 20 questions. And so I'm more like, I want to know more about other people than continuing to talk about myself.

• 36:50Alex Cooper?

  Okay, well, that's a great quality to have. At least you're not like a narcissist and self-centered.

• 36:54Speaker 03

  I hope so.

• 36:54Alex Cooper?

  This is good. This is great information, Dave. See, this is,

• 36:57Speaker 03

  Is it all, it feels like it's all lining up. Yeah, yeah. There's a couple outliers, but like,

• 37:02Alex Cooper?

  It's very cohesive.

• 37:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:04Alex Cooper?

  And the cats are the main grounding point.

• 37:06Speaker 03

  I agree with that, actually.

• 37:08Alex Cooper?

  Okay, so you end up dropping out of college.

• 37:11Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 37:12Alex Cooper?

  And you go to do a horror movie that never made it to theaters.

• 37:16Speaker 03

  Let me tell you about this.

• 37:17Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, tell me everything.

• 37:18Speaker 03

  Okay, so I got a month away from graduating.

• 37:21Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 37:22Speaker 03

  And I got this, my first lead role in a project. And I was telling my teachers, like, please let me finish from online. Somehow, let me do this from afar. It's only a month left. And they were like, no, you have to be here. So I was like, all right, I'm, this is what I want to do. I'm gonna go do this movie. So I drop out. Uh, I go to Winnipeg, Canada. Winnipeg, um. Yup, yup. Uh, yeah. My husband's made movies there. Okay, yeah. Yup. So we were there in the dead of winter, staying on what they considered the windiest corner in all of Canada. Very brutal conditions. Um, it was this very physically demanding shoot, so I got very hurt on this one as well. I dislocated my shoulder. I lost my voice a couple of times from screaming so much.

• 38:02Speaker 03

  Bruises all over my body, but I was having the time of my life. I'm like, I'm doing the work. I'm really doing this thing I want to do. So there was two weeks to go on the movie and I remember I had the day off and the main girl, she, she knocks on my door and I'm like, "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be on set." And she's like, "Shit's going down." So we find out that they hadn't been paying the crew for weeks. We find out they have no money left. That'll do it. Yeah, so we all go home. We're waiting for the call for them to be like, "We spent millions of dollars. Let's come back and finish these final two weeks." We never go back. So I was devastated. I dropped out of school for this. I, I dislocated my shoulder for this. This was my first lead role. In hindsight, it's probably best that it fell apart. Why?

• 38:43Speaker 03

  So this was a, um, it was a B horror movie called Bad Meat and the tagline was, "It's the meat, it's bad." Uh, so. Stop, stop. So what I found out recently, uh, this is many years ago, but I found out recently is they actually brought in an entirely new cast to fill in the scenes that we didn't shoot. And they put together this like weird, you know, jigsaw puzzle of a movie. And just last week, me and my friends watched it for the first time. And the worst part about it, I mean, it's terrible, but the worst part is that I was the lead of this movie.

• 39:23Speaker 03

  We didn't finish the movie. We didn't give them enough footage and somehow they still cut out half of my scenes. That's how bad I was in Bad Meat.

• 39:34Alex Cooper?

  Dave.

• 39:36Speaker 03

  My friends are watching this movie almost embarrassed being like, dude, you're not even in this.

• 39:41Alex Cooper?

  Now I need to go and watch it. Now the whole daddy gang.

• 39:44Speaker 03

  Please don't.

• 39:45Alex Cooper?

  Please watch together before you watch fucking.

• 39:49Alex Cooper?

  Watch. All of a sudden it becomes the number one trending movie.

• 39:52Speaker 03

  Please don't.

• 39:53Alex Cooper?

  Dave.

• 39:53Speaker 03

  I know.

• 39:55Alex Cooper?

  That is such a fucking ego hit too. You're like, all right, let's tune in. You're like, where am I? You're like, wait, I did all this shit in fucking Winnipeg for this?

• 40:03Speaker 03

  I know.

• 40:04Alex Cooper?

  Dude.

• 40:05Speaker 03

  I know.

• 40:05Alex Cooper?

  And did they ever like, send you guys an email about it or no?

• 40:08Speaker 03

  No, no, no, no. I can't even tell you how I found out, but it took about 15 years for me to find out.

• 40:14Alex Cooper?

  That is beyond humbling. That is.

• 40:18Speaker 03

  It's nice to have those moments.

• 40:19Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah. You're like, all right, brought me back down to earth. Okay, let's talk about neighbors. You shot with Seth Rogen. I have to know, have you smoked weed with Seth?

• 40:27Speaker 03

  Ooh, God, I must have, but like, no epic smoking session comes to mind. That said, I might have been too scared because like, I did smoke a lot of weed in college, but since then, I, it just hits me too hard. And I feel like I'm, I would have been maybe a little too scared to smoke with Seth, knowing how strong his stuff probably is.

• 40:48Alex Cooper?

  That's how I felt when I interviewed Wiz Khalifa.

• 40:51Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 40:52Alex Cooper?

  Dave, I was like, okay, I can't be a fucking bitch. Like, I gotta.

• 40:56Speaker 03

  Did you smoke with him during the interview?

• 40:58Alex Cooper?

  I did.

• 40:58Speaker 03

  How'd it go?

• 41:00Alex Cooper?

  Well, so I, I, I think he thought it was fine and I think I was fine, but I'm a control freak.

• 41:07Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 41:08Alex Cooper?

  And so I had never like, really, really smoked in an interview before, except I did with Chelsea Handler, but like Chelsea was mainly taking it and I was just like, I took a baby hit.

• 41:16Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah.

• 41:16Alex Cooper?

  But Wiz, I was like, trying to impress him. Like, I was like, okay. Dave, I, not kidding you, after like, one big hit, cause I was trying, he was smoking and then I was trying to match his energy. We were making eye contact. I'm like, yeah.

• 41:29Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 41:30Alex Cooper?

  I looked down in my cards and then I forgot, like, did I speak? What was I saying? What was I doing? I couldn't remember if I was like, engaging with him. I look back, thank God it was funny.

• 41:39Speaker 03

  I was gonna say, do you, do you re-watch some episodes sometimes?

• 41:42Alex Cooper?

  I edit my episodes.

• 41:43Speaker 03

  Oh, there we go. Oh, that's right.

• 41:45Alex Cooper?

  Bitch. And so then I was like, editing a little tighter. Like, sometimes my pauses were like. Whiz. And then I was like, let's cut that gap where I just stared at him blankly for 10 fucking seconds.

• 41:56Speaker 03

  Did it create this kind of different energy than most of your episodes, though?

• 42:00Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 42:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, that's fun.

• 42:02Alex Cooper?

  But then we started to talk about the randomest shit. Like, I was asking about camping. Like, we were on a different trajectory.

• 42:07Speaker 03

  I like that. Give it a little different flavor.

• 42:09Alex Cooper?

  But I was gonna say, I wanna know who your dream blunt rotation would be, even though like, I'm assuming you don't smoke much, because I feel the same way. If I was in a room with Seth Rogen, I would be fucking terrified that I was gonna be a little pussy ass bitch and I couldn't keep up.

• 42:24Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 42:24Alex Cooper?

  So talk to me if you had to feel

• 42:27Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, the, you know, the guys on, on Mount Rushmore are Seth Snoop.

• 42:33Alex Cooper?

  Yup.

• 42:34Speaker 03

  Who two, I, I've also worked with Snoop. Just a quick side story about that. Uh, we did this movie with Jamie Foxx called Day Shift. And we went on this like crazy press tour, as you can imagine, very fun, but I ended up getting COVID and I missed the LA premiere. And so I was in bed. I was like, really bummed that I couldn't be there. And I get this, this FaceTime call from a number I don't know. And I'm feeling like shit. And I was like, I don't wanna talk to anyone, but definitely not someone I don't know. So I, I ignore it. I immediately get a text from a number, that same number saying, it's Snoop, pick up. I was like, Jesus Christ, I'm about to fucking FaceTime with Snoop when I'm feeling like dog shit. So I do. And he was just the sweetest. He's like, hey, man, you know, I, I heard you're not feeling well. We got you.

• 43:18Speaker 03

  You're, you know, you're here in spirit. And all of a sudden, I just realized, I'm like, oh, Snoop is the cure for COVID. I feel immediately better. Let's go.

• 43:28Alex Cooper?

  You're like, Snoop, I'm on my way to the premiere. Oh, my God. That's so funny, though. You have to like, turn it on immediately. But then you're like, I actually feel completely fine now that I'm talking to you. Then you hang up and then you're like, okay, I feel like shit again.

• 43:38Speaker 03

  Sweetheart.

• 43:39Alex Cooper?

  Okay, so who would you wanna smoke with? I'll tell you mine.

• 43:42Speaker 03

  Tell me.

• 43:42Alex Cooper?

  To like, warm us up.

• 43:43Speaker 03

  Please, please.

• 43:44Alex Cooper?

  I've been thinking about this a lot lately, cuz I was thinking about that Seth Rogen thing. And I was like, obviously, like, anyone's dream is to smoke with Seth. But I was like, I, my personality when I smoke is like, I wanna be alone.

• 43:55Speaker 03

  I, I agree with that.

• 43:56Alex Cooper?

  And I don't even wanna smoke. I wanna take a little edible.

• 43:58Speaker 03

  Yep, me too.

• 43:58Alex Cooper?

  And then I wanna lay in bed next to my husband and I wanna watch a show. And then I wanna fade off into the distance.

• 44:03Speaker 03

  We're on the same page.

• 44:04Alex Cooper?

  So I need to feel really comfortable.

• 44:06Speaker 03

  Yes, yes.

• 44:07Alex Cooper?

  And I wanna feel cozy and I wanna feel like I don't really have to do much. So here's my dream blunt rotation. Number one, Jane Goodall.

• 44:15Speaker 03

  Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 44:17Alex Cooper?

  We're starting strong. Cozy, comfortable. She's gonna-

• 44:21Speaker 03

  Just her general demeanor and that like calm energy.

• 44:24Alex Cooper?

  She's gonna keep us right where we need to be.

• 44:25Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 44:26Alex Cooper?

  No one's having a panic attack.

• 44:27Speaker 03

  That makes a lot of sense to me, actually.

• 44:28Alex Cooper?

  She's gonna be there through thick and thin.

• 44:30Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 44:30Alex Cooper?

  If we're having a panic attack, she'll be the one to be like, darling, you're gonna be fine.

• 44:33Speaker 03

  Look how she is with the apes. How do you think she's gonna be with you?

• 44:36Alex Cooper?

  Then we need someone that is gonna be calming, wise, insightful, that's gonna like, kind of start a conversation, because we're not all in bed together. We're sitting around. David Letterman.

• 44:46Speaker 03

  Oh, interesting.

• 44:47Alex Cooper?

  I've been thinking about this too a lot lately.

• 44:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 44:49Alex Cooper?

  Why? I don't know. Um, I feel like he would be chill as fuck. But he would really bring the wisdom that we all are just, I could be lockjawed, just quiet, and listen to him-

• 45:00Speaker 03

  I hear what you're saying.

• 45:01Alex Cooper?

  -spew wisdom.

• 45:02Speaker 03

  Is he known to be a smoker?

• 45:03Alex Cooper?

  I have no idea.

• 45:05Speaker 03

  Continue.

• 45:05Alex Cooper?

  Not a clue. Number three.

• 45:08Speaker 03

  Ah, you've thought about this.

• 45:09Alex Cooper?

  Who is generating the vibes, though?

• 45:10Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 45:11Alex Cooper?

  They can't be so serious and so down, or who's bringing the music? Rihanna.

• 45:15Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 45:16Alex Cooper?

  That little round table right there, I picture them in my living room, David sitting in the like, the club chair, Jane and Rihanna are on the couch, I'm on the other couch, feet up, fuzzy socks on, candles lit, vibe.

• 45:29Speaker 03

  Let me ask this, though.

• 45:30Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 45:30Speaker 03

  They're all coming in with very different energies.

• 45:33Alex Cooper?

  Absolutely.

• 45:33Speaker 03

  Which energy, one has to kind of overtake the other.

• 45:36Alex Cooper?

  I think David's leading the conversation.

• 45:38Speaker 03

  Okay, I like that. I like that.

• 45:39Alex Cooper?

  Because I'm just picturing I'm mute.

• 45:41Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 45:42Alex Cooper?

  I'm basically not there.

• 45:43Speaker 03

  Jane's bringing the calmness, Rihanna's bringing the vibes, David's just kind of like ushering us through this. He's just like, he's doing most of the talking, we're just sitting back, we're just taking in the stories.

• 45:53Alex Cooper?

  Yes, he's kind of like our shaman.

• 45:55Speaker 03

  I like that.

• 45:56Alex Cooper?

  Like, he's leading us down wherever he wants us to go.

• 45:58Speaker 03

  This all makes a lot of sense to me.

• 45:59Alex Cooper?

  He's talking about life.

• 46:00Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 46:00Alex Cooper?

  He's talking about life.

• 46:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 46:02Alex Cooper?

  Okay, hit me, talk to me through, just names that come about.

• 46:05Speaker 03

  God, um, I feel like the, the real answer, and the shortest version of this answer, because I think I'll just stumble for a while if I don't just cut this short.

• 46:16Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 46:17Speaker 03

  Uh, and the cheesiest answer is, Allison is awesome to smoke with. And the reason is, um, she, it doesn't affect her, like, you wouldn't know. If you were around her and she was stoned, you wouldn't know. But what it does to her, she never loves me more than when she's stoned. It's, it's, and like, we have, you know, we're very, um, you know, cohesive and it's just, it generally works overall, but when she's stoned, whatever I do is the sweetest thing. Whatever I say is the funniest thing, but it's all, it's in a subtle way. It's subtle, but like, it's awesome being around her.

• 46:56Alex Cooper?

  That is, you're right. That is an incredible answer.

• 46:58Speaker 03

  Okay, good.

• 46:59Alex Cooper?

  Like, she's just looking at you like, babe, you are. And you're like, I did nothing.

• 47:03Speaker 03

  To the point where I'm like, you need to relax. That was not funny what I just said, but I appreciate you, but yeah.

• 47:09Alex Cooper?

  That's amazing. Like, post-fight, you're like, should we smoke a little, please? He's like, Dave, shut the fuck up. Okay, that's a great answer. Okay, um, Zac Efron said he ended up breaking his hand filming a scene with you where he grabs your penis.

• 47:23Speaker 03

  That's true.

• 47:24Alex Cooper?

  Can you please explain how this resulted in injury, Dave?

• 47:29Speaker 03

  It's, it's a really good question. I'm trying to remember. It definitely wasn't because my penis was hard.

• 47:36Alex Cooper?

  But you had to clarify.

• 47:37Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to remember if I was wearing a cup and he came in just really strong. I think it was a dislocated thumb, to be fair, but it, it happened. There's a scene where I think we're both grabbing each other's crotches at the same time. And I just think he came in with enough force from the wrong angle. And it's a nice little anecdote now.

• 48:01Alex Cooper?

  It's a beautiful anecdote. I agree. I think most people would be like, oh, wow, like, Dave's just randomly hard on set.

• 48:06Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 48:07Alex Cooper?

  I think this was a good moment to clarify.

• 48:08Speaker 03

  Yes, yes. Cause the character, actually, now that I think about it, um, not to walk through the whole synopsis of Neighbors in this interview, but, um, he grabs my crotch and we're both holding on, like, who's gonna let go first? And then my character, actually, to get him to let go, I have a trick where I go zen and I know how to get hard on Q. So I do get hard in his hand and that's what makes him let go.

• 48:30Alex Cooper?

  And can you do that in your real life?

• 48:32Speaker 03

  No.

• 48:32Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, perfect. Okay, we're moving on. Um, you have had some pretty iconic co-stars over the years.

• 48:37Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 48:38Alex Cooper?

  Fuck, marry, kill.

• 48:39Speaker 03

  Oh, wow. Okay.

• 48:41Alex Cooper?

  Zac Efron.

• 48:42Speaker 03

  Uh huh.

• 48:42Alex Cooper?

  Jonah Hill.

• 48:43Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 48:44Alex Cooper?

  Channing Tatum.

• 48:44Speaker 03

  Fuck. Oh, I don't like this game. Um, okay. Let me just say first and foremost, I love them all. I genuinely love them all. You guys, I love you. I don't want to kill any of you.

• 48:59Alex Cooper?

  No, I will even help you with that.

• 49:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 49:01Alex Cooper?

  You guys, it's a fucking game. He has to kill someone. It's not that deep. We're not saying you love all these people.

• 49:07Speaker 03

  Okay, okay, okay, okay. Um, let's say I'm going to marry Channing.

• 49:13Alex Cooper?

  Oh.

• 49:14Speaker 03

  Uh, I'm going to fuck.

• 49:19Speaker 03

  You know what? I'm gonna fuck Jonah.

• 49:24Alex Cooper?

  I am obsessed.

• 49:25Speaker 03

  I do not want to kill you, Zach. I really, really don't. I just feel like we've experienced the sexuality together already. I want to try something new.

• 49:36Alex Cooper?

  We've already explored that.

• 49:38Speaker 03

  I think I saved it. I saved it.

• 49:40Alex Cooper?

  Perfect. It's literally perfect.

• 49:41Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 49:58Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Airbnb. So the other day I was just scrolling on my phone and one of those one year ago today notifications popped up. I usually don't pay much attention to them, but when I saw it was from my Napa trip with Lauren. I obviously had to go back through every single photo. I remember we drove up to Napa for a weekend and found the cutest farmhouse on Airbnb to stay in. The location could not have been more perfect. It was right by a vineyard and overlooked this beautiful golf course, which yes, Matt was very jealous of. During the day, we went wine tasting like a little cute couple.

• 50:43Alex Cooper?

  Then we brought our favorite bottles back to the house at night for cozy, long girl talks on the couch. Obviously, I Haven't had a drink in forever since being pregnant, so I cannot wait for wine nights again soon with my girlfriends. And now that holiday travel season is finally here, all of my group chats are going off with everyone trying to coordinate dates and just figure out where we're going to stay and where we're going to go next. But looking back through those photos reminded me that some of the best parts of a trip happen back at the house, right? Like, that's why I love booking a home on Airbnb. It literally gives everyone space

• 51:23Alex Cooper?

  to just spread out and it makes every trip feel more relaxed. You can even order groceries, which I love, for your trip through Airbnb and have everything from breakfast essentials to holiday snacks delivered after you arrive. If you're planning your Thanksgiving trip or any holiday travel this season, definitely check out Airbnb before you book. Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Stouffer's. Let me tell you something. When I am hungry and I am trying to figure out what to eat, sometimes you can just actually become so, you're angry. You're like, I am busy, I'm hungry, I'm getting hangry, I'm getting angry, what can I eat? I need something hot and delicious and low maintenance. Well, introducing Stouffer's

• 52:07Alex Cooper?

• 52:26Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 52:26Alex Cooper?

  Before you and Allison started dating, can you tell me, like, were you ever getting your heart broken? Were you the one breaking hearts? Like, what were your early relationships like?

• 52:38Speaker 03

  Um, the early relationships, like I was saying, it was, it was a lot of sensitivity. It was a lot of, God, I really, I think I am kind of a romantic at heart. I remember, I remember this other girl that I was dating in high school for a very short amount of time.

• 53:02Speaker 03

  Valentine's Day came up and I decided, I decided I was gonna come to school early and leave a rose with each one of her teachers, which sounds very sweet, but in hindsight, um, we just weren't together long enough for me to be doing that. And so she might've been a little embarrassed that every class she went to, she was like, okay, here's the rose again in front of everyone. And so I remember seeing her after school and being like, hey, and she was like, thanks for the roses. Uh.

• 53:30Alex Cooper?

  Wait, you did it at multiple classes?

• 53:32Speaker 03

  All of her classes.

• 53:33Alex Cooper?

  Dave. Fuck, Dave.

• 53:36Speaker 03

  It was coming from a good place, but it was too soon. Um, I, I know, I know. And I think in other relationships, I'm trying to think like.

• 53:45Alex Cooper?

  Were you ever cheated on?

• 53:48Speaker 03

  It was not a hundred percent confirmed, but there was a moment where things were tough for a bit and I didn't want to acknowledge it because I was so in love with her. I really thought we were gonna get married and I just had my blinders on. And we were watching a movie, movie at my place and she fell asleep. And this is the first and only time I've done this, but I did check her phone and I did it because I, I knew something, something was up. And I found texts with her and her ex and they were from recently and it was about like, there was nothing like 100% like this happened, but it was like something about her going over there the previous night and all this stuff. And so I woke her up and I was like, uh, my heart was, my heart's beating even thinking about it now. Uh, I woke her

• 54:28Speaker 03

  up and I showed her, I showed her her phone. I was like, what is this? And she kinda took a beat and she said something like that was from a long time ago. And this is, this was, this is how old I am. This is before there was like time codes for texts.

• 54:45Alex Cooper?

  You're getting gaslit. You're like, oh.

• 54:47Speaker 03

  So I really let her talk me into it because I was so in love with her too. And I just didn't want to believe it. Uh, so again, it wasn't confirmed, but I think it happened. And you know what? End of the day, meant to happen. Uh, I was meant to be with Allison and yeah.

• 55:00Alex Cooper?

  Oh my God, that feeling when you see a text and your actual heart is in your butt.

• 55:05Speaker 03

  Oh my God.

• 55:05Alex Cooper?

  Please no. And it's actually like, kind of horrible when they're asleep because you're just sitting there and they're laying next to you and you're like.

• 55:12Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, I know. I know.

• 55:13Alex Cooper?

  Who are you? You monster. But it ended up working out.

• 55:16Speaker 03

  Definitely.

• 55:17Alex Cooper?

  Did you end it or did she end it eventually?

• 55:18Speaker 03

  She did. I know. I know. I really tried to make it work. I know. I know. It's bad. It's bad. You learn from these things.

• 55:27Alex Cooper?

  Okay, let's get to now when you meet Allison.

• 55:31Alex Cooper?

  You guys did Molly together the first time that you hung out.

• 55:35Speaker 03

  This is maybe the anomaly in everything else we've said. This doesn't check out. Yeah.

• 55:39Alex Cooper?

  Okay, so you, yeah, you're right. This is a little

• 55:42Speaker 03

  But I'll tell you why. I think there's a reason why.

• 55:44Alex Cooper?

  A little out of character. What's going on, Dave? Do you usually take drugs from strangers?

• 55:48Speaker 03

  No.

• 55:50Speaker 03

  So basically, um, I was working on a job in New Orleans. She was out there with some friends from Mardi Gras. And one of her friends was one of, was and is one of my good friends and they invited me out to dinner. And I, I show up at dinner. I was a little bit late. They were already fucked up. I was like trying to catch up. And I'm sitting next to our mutual friend Jules. And Jules shows me that she's been texting with Allison across the table. And basically what she said to Allison was, hey, you should make out with Davy tonight. And Allison's like, sure. And so Jules shows me this and she's like, do not tell her I showed you these texts. And I was like, cool, cool. So little do I know, the two of them are in the bathroom 10 minutes later. And Jules is like, okay, I showed him the text. He's in.

• 56:36Alex Cooper?

  So classic of girls.

• 56:38Speaker 03

  So she orchestrated orchestrated this whole thing and it was kind of amazing because we both went into this night knowing the other one was in. And so at the next bar, Allison comes up to me and she has a beer and she says, okay, I put some Molly in this beer. I think we should share this. I guess I'm seeing a trend in my life of this guy in high school being like, I got this fifth of vodka. I think we should share this. And I'm like, yes, I'm going to do something I would never do before, but yes. So I really think that might've been the first time I took Molly. Anyway. So yeah, we, uh, we without going into it, we had an insane weekend in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and, um.

• 57:16Alex Cooper?

  No, and I think like the rest was history, right?

• 57:18Speaker 03

  Exactly. And like, I think we're the only couple is, you know, it's been 13 and a half years, the only couple to survive from meeting at Mardi Gras.

• 57:24Alex Cooper?

  Did you feel though, like when you woke up the next morning and you had like a weekend together? Like, did you guys have to be like, hey, or was it not awkward?

• 57:33Speaker 03

  No, it was the opposite. It was like, we still make fun of her a little bit where, um, like the next morning after this insane Molly weird nights. We wake up and she kind of wakes me up with these like gentle little kisses on my shoulder like. Yeah, that's how we started the next morning and it was like, okay, this is, this is the energy we're going into this with.

• 57:57Alex Cooper?

  I love that it's like, let's take some Molly and then you wake up to just like loving Allison. That's actually nice to not have the scaries the next morning because I feel like there's like a little bit of a come down situation.

• 58:06Speaker 03

  Sure, sure. And I, God, I might be getting this detail wrong, but I was staying in this person's apartment. And I think Allison actually found like women's undergarments somewhere where she was like, oh, okay, he's doing this with other women. This isn't a thing, but that wasn't the case. This was just the person's place. But I think it allowed her to kind of be like, you know what? This is just an easy thing. Let's just like, I'm going to give myself over knowing this can't go anywhere and, and maybe that was, maybe that was part of the charm going into it all is like, we both, for whatever reason, just gave ourselves over. We were not playing any games. We were just like, we're having fun. I like you. Let's see what happens.

• 58:44Alex Cooper?

  And then literally what you said 13 years later?

• 58:46Speaker 03

  13 and a half years later.

• 58:48Alex Cooper?

  Wow.

• 58:48Speaker 03

  I know.

• 58:49Alex Cooper?

  Dave, we're going to finish with a game.

• 58:50Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 58:51Alex Cooper?

  And I've never played this with anyone. You're the first that we're going to do it with. Okay. So the game is called confess.

• 58:59Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 59:00Alex Cooper?

  Or text.

• 59:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 59:02Alex Cooper?

  Here is how it works.

• 59:03Speaker 03

  God.

• 59:03Alex Cooper?

  I am going to ask you a juicy question and you can either confess to the question. Or you're going to choose to send a text. If you decide to send a text, you're going to draw from two fish bowls. One, you're going to find out who you're texting. Two, you're going to find out what you're texting them. Are you ready?

• 59:23Speaker 03

  No.

• 59:25Alex Cooper?

  It's going to be good.

• 59:26Speaker 03

  Do, do, do I get to throw this back at you?

• 59:28Alex Cooper?

  Nope.

• 59:28Speaker 03

  This is a one sided game?

• 59:31Alex Cooper?

  Okay. And so it's either going to be someone harmless, like your best friend, maybe in that bowl, or someone as insane as your ex.

• 59:38Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 59:38Alex Cooper?

  First question. What is the shortest amount of time you've ever lasted during sex?

• 59:43Speaker 03

  Jesus Christ. I mean, I'll answer this.

• 59:45Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 59:46Speaker 03

  Short. Uh, I mean, you know, we gotta start somewhere. Let's say, uh, let's say, uh, a few pumps.

• 59:56Alex Cooper?

  I love the honesty. Okay. What is your body count?

• 1:00:00Speaker 03

  Jesus Christ. I'll take a text.

• 1:00:03Alex Cooper?

  Okay. So first take whatever out of one bowl.

• 1:00:06Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 1:00:06Alex Cooper?

  So first you're gonna find out, pull that out.

• 1:00:08Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:00:09Alex Cooper?

  What does it say?

• 1:00:09Speaker 03

  It says, "Your coworker."

• 1:00:11Alex Cooper?

  Okay. So you're gonna text one of your coworkers. Now take that out.

• 1:00:14Speaker 03

  Uh, "I really need an alibi. Can you send me a text about how fun last night was?" Happy to do this.

• 1:00:21Alex Cooper?

  Who is your coworker?

• 1:00:23Speaker 03

  Oh, okay. I'm gonna do Isla Fisher.

• 1:00:25Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:00:27Speaker 03

  She might, she might get back to me quick. Let's see.

• 1:00:30Alex Cooper?

  He's like shaking.

• 1:00:31Speaker 03

  Jesus. Really need.

• 1:00:34Alex Cooper?

  Jay's literally like, "I feel like my PR team should walk in any moment now."

• 1:00:38Speaker 03

  Send me a text about how fun last night. The thing about Isla is she's gonna be fucking down too.

• 1:00:46Alex Cooper?

  Really?

• 1:00:46Speaker 03

  She's got me.

• 1:00:47Alex Cooper?

  I love it. Okay. Send that.

• 1:00:48Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:00:48Alex Cooper?

  Good job.

• 1:00:49Speaker 03

  We'll wait to see if she responds.

• 1:00:50Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:00:51Speaker 03

  Should I put it on where we can hear a text?

• 1:00:53Alex Cooper?

  Yes.

• 1:00:53Speaker 03

  Okay, good. Great.

• 1:00:54Alex Cooper?

  Like, keep that shit open.

• 1:00:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:56Alex Cooper?

  Okay. What is the weirdest rumor you've ever heard about yourself?

• 1:01:00Speaker 03

  Oh, God. Uh, this girl that I was kind of seeing at one point, uh, reaching out and being like, "Hey, uh, what's this all about?" And it was this Photoshop of me and Zach, like, I wanna say like at a basketball game where we're like getting like really cozy together. And then there's all these headlines that maybe we were dating.

• 1:01:25Speaker 03

  And I think that had some legs too.

• 1:01:28Alex Cooper?

  Clearly.

• 1:01:29Speaker 03

  Oh, Isla. Two messages.

• 1:01:31Alex Cooper?

  Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. What does she say?

• 1:01:33Speaker 03

  She said...

• 1:01:36Speaker 03

  She goes, "Love seeing you last night, Dave. Thanks for making the effort. It was so nice to see you." Double Downing.

• 1:01:44Alex Cooper?

  That little-

• 1:01:44Speaker 03

  That's my girl. That's my girl.

• 1:01:48Alex Cooper?

  I love-

• 1:01:49Speaker 03

  Ooh, she is behind the scenes right now going, "I can't wait to hear about this."

• 1:01:52Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, she's like, "Call me, call me. What's going on?"

• 1:01:54Speaker 03

  Holy shit.

• 1:01:55Alex Cooper?

  Oh wow, that's a fucking homie right there.

• 1:01:57Speaker 03

  I love you, Ayla.

• 1:01:58Alex Cooper?

  Wow.

  That's good.

• 1:01:59Alex Cooper?

  She's got your back. Okay, I'm assuming that you're about to pull another one because here we go. Who is the worst person you've ever had to work with in Hollywood?

• 1:02:07Speaker 03

  Jesus Christ. Alright, we're pulling. Uh, okay, your best friend.

• 1:02:13Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:02:13Speaker 03

  Excited about anything to send him. Uh, can you Venmo me for the strip club, strip club last night? I feel like I can go even harder. Let's see. Uh, I just got my STD results back. Let's do that.

  Yup, yup, yup. Who's your best friend?

• 1:02:29Speaker 03

  Okay, who I've mentioned a couple of times.

• 1:02:30Alex Cooper?

  Got it.

  Christmas plus.

  Alright, Chris.

• 1:02:32Speaker 03

  Alright.

  I just got my STD results back. Alright, let's see what he says.

• 1:02:43Alex Cooper?

  He's gonna be like, amazing.

• 1:02:46Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:02:47Alex Cooper?

  What do you think he's gonna say?

• 1:02:48Speaker 03

  He's gonna be like, he's gonna be like, "Cool man, did I'm like, what do you got?"

• 1:02:58Alex Cooper?

  That's so real as a best friend, not being like, "You're married? What's going on?" He's like, "Oh, awesome. Like, is it chlamydia? Like, what's up? Like, what the fuck?" Okay, I can't wait to see. Um, okay, what is the wildest place you've ever had sex?

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  Oh, God. Um, something, something may have happened at one point on, um, the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

• 1:03:27Speaker 03

  And the fucked up part about that is I think there's cameras on every inch of that place, but we were pretty covert. We'll leave it at that.

• 1:03:38Alex Cooper?

  I am obsessed with you that, Dave. Thank you.

• 1:03:42Speaker 03

  Has the color of my face changed?

• 1:03:44Alex Cooper?

  You have like this nice plush that's matching your elephants on your shirt.

• 1:03:48Speaker 03

  Okay, there we go.

• 1:03:49Alex Cooper?

  Okay, what is the weirdest, most niche porn that you've ever searched?

• 1:03:53Speaker 03

  Fucking hell. We're taking one from the bowl.

• 1:03:59Speaker 03

  Uh, your partner. That's good.

• 1:04:01Alex Cooper?

  Perfect.

• 1:04:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:04:02Alex Cooper?

  Oh, God.

• 1:04:03Speaker 03

  Uh, can I borrow some pee for a drug test? Let's see if we can do it.

• 1:04:06Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, do a better one. Do a better one.

• 1:04:08Speaker 03

  Uh, it's been a week. Do you think Plan B will still work? She'll know. She'll see through that.

• 1:04:13Alex Cooper?

  Yep.

• 1:04:13Speaker 03

  Uh, do you still have that sexy nun costume? That's not bad. And we did a nun movie together. Yeah, okay. Uh, can I borrow your tripod sex tape? We used a tripod yesterday. Uh, what do you think? What do you think?

• 1:04:27Alex Cooper?

  I think you text your agent, the tripod one, and I think you text your wife.

• 1:04:32Speaker 03

  How are you adding to this?

• 1:04:35Alex Cooper?

  Okay.

• 1:04:35Speaker 03

  Okay, I'll tell it to my agent. I'll do it.

• 1:04:37Alex Cooper?

  Yeah, yeah. Okay. And what are you texting your agent?

• 1:04:39Speaker 03

  Uh, you tell me. Uh, can I, uh, can I borrow your tripod, uh, parentheses, sex tape?

• 1:04:45Alex Cooper?

  Perfect.

• 1:04:47Speaker 03

  Okay, do you want me to text my male or female agent?

• 1:04:50Alex Cooper?

  Male.

• 1:04:51Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:04:53Alex Cooper?

  Let's just keep this clean.

• 1:04:54Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:04:54Alex Cooper?

  Let's keep this as, uh, PC as we can.

• 1:04:57Speaker 03

  Can I borrow your tripod?

• 1:05:00Alex Cooper?

  Dave, you're such a homie. You're amazing.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  Sex tape.

• 1:05:06Speaker 03

  Okay, done. TJ Bernardi, you got that coming in?

• 1:05:09Alex Cooper?

  Now wife.

• 1:05:10Speaker 03

  Okay, wife is getting... I mean, you can, if you want to make this sexier for me. So it says, "Do you still have that sexy nun costume?" Do you want to alter that in any way? I'll text her whatever.

• 1:05:19Alex Cooper?

  What were you feeling? Get a little creative, Dave.

• 1:05:22Speaker 03

  Um, I'm gonna say, maybe we try to make it really real and be like, um, Call Her Daddy went fucking great.

• 1:05:32Alex Cooper?

  I'm on a high.

• 1:05:33Speaker 03

  Um, it kind of inspired me. Kind of inspired me to...

• 1:05:40Speaker 03

  Try something new, maybe?

• 1:05:43Alex Cooper?

  Oh my god!

• 1:05:45Speaker 03

  Uh, do you still? God, she doesn't have, what will she still have? Do you still, oh, do we still have that duck costume of mine? Do we still have that duck costume from Halloween?

• 1:05:56Alex Cooper?

  Dave!

• 1:05:58Speaker 03

  Have that duck costume from Halloween. She's gonna see through this, but there's a small chance she doesn't.

• 1:06:05Alex Cooper?

  Holy shit!

• 1:06:06Speaker 03

  Okay, Call Her Daddy went fucking great. It kind of inspired me to try something new, maybe, dot, dot, dot. Do we still have that duck costume from Halloween?

• 1:06:14Alex Cooper?

  Boom!

• 1:06:15Speaker 03

  Alright. Oh, wait, someone? No, someone else, okay.

• 1:06:20Alex Cooper?

  Holy shit! Dave, I appreciate you for playing this game.

• 1:06:26Speaker 03

  You know what, remember, callback, what am I, oh! TJ Bernardi, my agent.

• 1:06:30Alex Cooper?

  Shut up, they're quick!

• 1:06:31Speaker 03

  They are quick.

• 1:06:37Alex Cooper?

  What, what, what?

• 1:06:39Speaker 03

  So random. He, uh, he ha-ha's it and then says, "LFG, let's fucking go."

• 1:06:49Alex Cooper?

  He's like, "Alright, bro, let's fucking get weird! Good for you, man, you're getting fucked."

• 1:06:55Speaker 03

  Hold on, hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait.

• 1:06:58Alex Cooper?

  No!

• 1:06:59Speaker 03

  There were two texts, I didn't see his first text. It's not even, it's almost more of a dismissal of, "Can I borrow your tripod set for a sex tape?" He goes, so his client, his client is Kieran Shipka, who, um, was just cast in a movie that I'm producing. I go, "Can I borrow your tripod, sex tape?" He goes, "Kieran Shipka, let's fucking go."

• 1:07:21Alex Cooper?

  No!

• 1:07:21Speaker 03

  Doesn't even care about the sex tape.

• 1:07:24Alex Cooper?

  Because he's like referring to who you just like booked for your next movie. You're lying! He's not even? "Let's fucking go." He, also, his only response is "ha-ha, double tapping."

• 1:07:36Speaker 03

  Ha-ha, that's it.

• 1:07:37Alex Cooper?

  He's like, whatever, anyways, so you just booked this movie?

• 1:07:41Alex Cooper?

  You just booked this person for a movie? Dave! That's a good agent.

• 1:07:45Speaker 03

  That's a great agent.

• 1:07:46Alex Cooper?

  I feel that way with my agent sometimes. I will say the most out of pocket shit to them. And they are literally like, oh, Alex. Um, anyways, like, because they almost have to just like ignore.

• 1:07:57Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:07:57Alex Cooper?

  Cause they have to love you, even if you're fucking insane. Cause they're like.

• 1:08:01Speaker 03

  I'm beat red right now.

• 1:08:02Alex Cooper?

  Cause they're like, let's get that 10%. Woo! Dave, this is good. Okay. Now we're waiting for your wife.

• 1:08:08Speaker 03

  Okay, okay.

• 1:08:09Alex Cooper?

  Okay. Can we go back to what we said at the beginning of the interview about you guys working together?

• 1:08:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:08:13Alex Cooper?

  Because I want to hear a little bit more about why you guys decided to start. Cause there, there has to be a moment, right? Where you guys were like, okay, should we do something together?

• 1:08:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:08:23Alex Cooper?

  And how you guys talked about that and like boundaries?

• 1:08:26Speaker 03

  Sure. I think, I, I feel like it probably started because we, we were apart from each other so often because of work. And I'm sure it was just like, hey, this is a way for us to be together and that's valid. Um, but then we quickly realized like, we really enjoyed doing this and you know, there's many reasons. Like first off, I, I genuinely think she's one of the most talented actresses out there. And so she, when I'm working with her, she makes my job very easy, just in a creative sense. And then on top of that, um, you know, when, especially in the, the two circumstances where I directed her, it was so amazing just to have her there with me at the end of the day, where as a director, you know,

• 1:09:07Speaker 03

  you're going through so much and it's so easy to get in your head and it's easy to spin out and be like, oh my God, this is terrible. Like what are we doing? And she was there just to calm me down and be like, everything's going great. And that was invaluable. And like, I don't want to direct anything that she's not in.

• 1:09:23Alex Cooper?

  That's such an interesting point. And I think highlights how healthy your guys' relationship is though, because it's one thing, which we're going to get to, that you guys act in something together.

• 1:09:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:09:33Alex Cooper?

  But for you to be a director and her be acting, at the end of the day, the director has the call, right? And a lot of times you're giving like pretty pointed notes or sometimes to actors.

• 1:09:43Speaker 03

  Sure.

• 1:09:43Alex Cooper?

  Like, how do you think you guys navigated in, not in a way of you being kind of like. Having the upper hand is the direct, you know what I mean?

• 1:09:51Speaker 03

  Yeah. The truth is, it never really felt like that.

• 1:09:55Alex Cooper?

  Yeah.

• 1:09:55Speaker 03

  It's like, we're so in sync in so many ways that like, most of the time, if I was coming to give her a note, as I'm walking towards her, she goes, I know, I got it, go back. And then I would go back beyond the monitors and she would do exactly what I was thinking. And

• 1:10:11Alex Cooper?

  Also, and when you're saying that, because I've been now, yes, working also with my husband, and he is a movie producer, and now we do a lot together, but like, you know, the person so well, and you want to win as a team. I think that's sometimes what people, again, like, I've worked so hard to have a healthy relationship, and so I can own, I've been in unhealthy relationships. And the difference is like, if Matt or I are giving each other advice, or like constructive criticism, it's, you're going to deliver it in a similar way that you do in your life of like, it, it, all of it pertains also to work. Like, we're being respectful.

• 1:10:48Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:10:48Alex Cooper?

  You're not feeling like you're better than the other person. You're reading the room. Like, all of that goes into it, right?

• 1:10:53Speaker 03

  And yeah, just to even go further, like, there were, God, there were some crazy days on, on this new movie where, you know, we are literally attached to each other with prosthetics for the entire day. So we are going to, taking each other to the bathroom. I remember there was a moment where she's going to the bathroom, I'm standing over her, literally attached to her, and we said out loud, we could not have done this with anyone else. And during that day, when we're attached, I'm also, I was also in the scenes, I was tied to a chair, and she is straddling me for 12 hours. And so, because there is so much comfortability there, there's so much love there, we could also be kind of surpass politeness with each other, and knowing it's not mean, where I could be like, babe,

• 1:11:37Speaker 03

  you're fucking killing my legs. Where if it was anyone else, I'd be like, hey, I'm so sorry, would you mind maybe like lifting your?

• 1:11:46Alex Cooper?

  Okay, well, yeah, I want to get a little bit more into the movie together.

• 1:11:50Speaker 03

  Okay, yeah.

• 1:11:50Alex Cooper?

  Um, how did you both know that you wanted to take on this role?

• 1:11:56Speaker 03

  So I got sent this script and the basic premise is we play a codependent couple that gets infected with something that makes it so that when we're apart from each other, we start to feel sick. So we need to be near each other at all times and it starts to slowly escalate to the point where our bodies start to fuse together. And when I read this thing, I was like, I feel like if me and Alison do this together, our real relationship will actually lend itself really well to this relationship in the movie where when you're watching us, you will hopefully feel the weight of the relationship because the characters in the movie have been together for over a decade. And so this was one where I was like, this feels right for us to do. Yeah.

• 1:12:39Alex Cooper?

  That is so interesting. Did it make you question, like not question anything in your relationship, but did you guys ever go home and talk about like codependency and the theme in the movie?

• 1:12:53Speaker 03

  I mean, yes, like, God, it was more just that, of course, we're on set all day and then we go home and we're together just 24 hours during this process. And this makes me honestly more think about something that I want to ask you is like, are when, how are you guys able to turn it off and not talk about work? And are you guys good at that?

• 1:13:15Alex Cooper?

  It's, it's hard. We've gotten good at it. And when we are not being good at it, we'll catch ourselves. Cause like, I'm thinking like Matt and I don't spend every day together. Like when we're, when we're in the office, like we have two complete, separate, different offices. I'm running basically a different division than he's running. So like, we're really handling different legs of our company. But there are certain days where we are together, whether it's for a photo shoot for our products or whatever it be. And when we get home, I find we have to be so fucking intentional.

• 1:13:47Speaker 03

  Us too.

• 1:13:48Alex Cooper?

  To be like, okay, we have a couple more work calls and then we're leaving our phones in the kitchen. We're pouring ourselves a glass of whiskey. We're going out to the hot tub and we're talking about personal.

• 1:13:56Speaker 03

  That's amazing.

• 1:13:57Alex Cooper?

  And, but it takes, one of us will bring something up in the hot tub. I'm like, no, no. And we're like, oh my God, I forgot.

• 1:14:02Speaker 03

  Are you guys both good at keeping each other accountable?

• 1:14:04Alex Cooper?

  Completely. But it, but it took. Almost like training yourself.

• 1:14:08Speaker 03

  Definitely.

• 1:14:08Alex Cooper?

  If you do let yourself continue to do that, it's not, we love work. And I feel like I'm getting that from you guys that it's like, it's not a negative.

• 1:14:15Speaker 03

  And that's what it is.

• 1:14:17Alex Cooper?

  Right? You're obsessed with it. So you're like, it's fun.

• 1:14:19Speaker 03

  I know. And that's what it is.

• 1:14:21Alex Cooper?

  But it's so good for your relationship to have these two different realms almost that you enter into.

• 1:14:27Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:14:27Alex Cooper?

  And so I can imagine when you guys were home, it was probably like, let's go shower and go to a date. Let's go on a date.

• 1:14:32Speaker 03

  For sure, for sure.

• 1:14:33Alex Cooper?

  Like you've been attached to my leg.

• 1:14:35Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:14:36Alex Cooper?

  Forty hours.

• 1:14:37Speaker 03

  I know.

• 1:14:38Alex Cooper?

  I need to, let's like, make it fun and sexy and interesting again and not be work wise. Can you like, give fans any, um, heads up? Or like, what do you want them to feel going into this movie?

• 1:14:50Speaker 03

  Okay. So what, what I love about this movie and what our writer director was able to do is I, I genuinely think, and have heard from people that it works really well for hardcore horror fans. You know, it's got, it's got the gore, it's got all that stuff you want. It pushes the limits. But what we've been really kind of surprised and amazed to hear is that some people have been calling it like a gateway horror film for people who don't tend to seek out this genre. And I think part of that is because at the core of this thing, it's about this relationship and the movie is kind of romantic and it's funny. And our director was able to kind of blend all of those different tones in a really seamless way.

• 1:15:31Speaker 03

  And at the end of the day, yes, it is scary in moments, but it's just fun. It's one of these movies where like 25 minutes in, it ramps up to a certain place and then you're just flying till the end. Yeah.

• 1:15:44Alex Cooper?

  I'm really excited for everyone to see it and I'm just like, congratulations to you and your wife. Cause that's just so exciting that you guys got to make this project together. And I can tell you're so passionate about it, which is again, what we said at the end, beginning of this interview, why we do the what we do.

• 1:15:57Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:16:14Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Shopify. I feel like it's that time of the year where everyone starts to slow down a little bit. We're reflecting on this past year, maybe even, you know, we're writing down a few goals for next year. And if you're starting a business and that is something that's on your list, thankfully, the internet has made it easier than ever to do. No matter what stage you're at, Shopify is the best place to start and grow a business. Personally, I have loved how their shop pay feature streamlines the entire checkout process. With the holidays coming up, my online shopping addiction is obviously it's at its peak right now. And so I always get excited when I see that little

• 1:16:57Alex Cooper?

  purple shop pay button at checkout. It makes buying something so fast and easy. Instead of digging through and finding my credit card and typing everything in, you can just check out in one click. Yes, I want those sweatpants. Yes, another pair of sweatpants. And for businesses, that also means fewer carts abandoned and more sales. I also love that Shopify lets me run my entire business straight from my phone. So I can upload new merch, check on orders, and see what you guys are loving from literally anywhere. It does save me so much time and it lets me actually enjoy the season while growing the business. So are you ready to add entrepreneur to your list of accomplishments? Head to Shopify.com/daddy. That's Shopify.com/daddy.

• 1:17:42Alex Cooper?

  Call Her Daddy is brought to you by Stouffer's. Let me tell you something. When I am hungry and I am trying to figure out what to eat, sometimes you can just actually become so you're angry.

  How many ums?

• 1:20:17Speaker 03

  Uh, there are one, two, three, four, five, five, two question marks, exclamation point, and three emojis of laughing face, slanted laughing face. And then she follows it up with, in a very earnest way, "I don't think we have that duck costume still, but I'm sure we could order one..." dot, dot, dot. "I fucking love my wife."

• 1:20:41Alex Cooper?

  What is the, what is this duck costume? What does it even look like? Is there any sex appeal?

And it's gonna get leaked and Isla's gonna fucking have my back? And I was just like, that's not me in the duck costume. I was with Isla last night. I wasn't fucking my wife.
