3:53 Speaker 06 Do you think she's little?
3:54 Jessie Ware? Yes, I think so too.
3:56 Speaker 06 Petite, should we say petite? L.

4:13 Speaker 06 In my very favourite TV show.
4:15 Jessie Ware? Which one's your favourite TV show?
4:16 Speaker 06 Morning Show.
4:16 Jessie Ware? Well, that's what she's coming on to talk about, which we're very excited to chat to her about. Yeah, Reese is over and we have her for lunch. You are on cooking duty today.
4:25 Speaker 06 Yes, I am.
4:26 Jessie Ware? What have you made?
4:27 Speaker 06 Roast chicken.
4:28 Jessie Ware? Can I just quickly acknowledge that I had one of the best roast chickens of my life yesterday?
4:33 Speaker 06 Oh God.
4:33 Jessie Ware? Rochelle Canteen in East London, you can do no wrong. You are consistently excellent. I took my husband there for his birthday and it's just one of my favourite restaurants. I had a Sutton Hoo. Do you know Sutton Hoo is an area and it's apparently-
4:49 Speaker 06 Sutton Hoo is where they did the excavation of the great big boat. Carey Mulligan was in the film.
4:54 Jessie Ware? Oh, well, I had a Sutton Hoo chicken.
4:57 Speaker 06 Yeah.
4:57 Jessie Ware? And they did it. Oh, okay. It was out of this world.
5:02 Speaker 06 God.
5:02 Jessie Ware? Anyway.
5:03 Speaker 06 I hope it wasn't one of the ones that was left in the boat that they-
5:06 Jessie Ware? I hope, well.
5:07 Speaker 06 That they excavated.
5:09 Jessie Ware? Well, so I'm all fired up for your roast chicken. So how are you doing your roast chicken today, Mum?
5:13 Speaker 06 Just roasted it.
5:14 Jessie Ware? Oh, okay, cool.
5:15 Speaker 06 On a bed of vegetables.
5:16 Jessie Ware? Which vegetables?
5:18 Speaker 06 Fennel.
5:18 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
5:19 Speaker 06 Carrot.
5:19 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
5:20 Speaker 06 Onion.
5:21 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
5:21 Speaker 06 Celery.
5:22 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
5:22 Speaker 06 And some garlic.
5:23 Jessie Ware? Gorgeous. And then you're making a little jus.
5:25 Speaker 06 A little jus.
5:26 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
5:27 Speaker 06 Um, which tastes a bit salty, but it'll be fine.
5:29 Jessie Ware? Put your jam that you put, oh, the cranberry sauce or something.
5:32 Speaker 06 Yeah, I can do.
5:32 Jessie Ware? Okay, great.
5:34 Speaker 06 And I've done some steamed vegetables and you've done some-
5:39 Jessie Ware? Just courgettes.
5:40 Speaker 06 Courgettes with garlic and lemon. And we've also got some garlicky potatoes.
5:45 Jessie Ware? Hope she likes garlic.
5:46 Speaker 06 I hope she does too, Jessie.
5:48 Jessie Ware? We have been lucky enough, thank you, Apple, to watch a bit of the new season of the morning, the morning show.
5:54 Speaker 06 You see, you've indulged yourself. I only allowed myself to because it starts tomorrow and I want to watch it on TV on the big screen.
6:05 Jessie Ware? That's really odd because surely they both, they stagger it, don't they, on Apple with these ones?
6:10 Speaker 06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would go as far as to say I think it's one of the best seasons I've watched. It's really exciting and cutthroat.
6:20 Jessie Ware? And of course, Reese is starring in it with Jennifer Aniston, but also Bradley Jackson. But she's also an exec on it.
6:28 Speaker 06 Is she?
6:28 Jessie Ware? Yeah, she's her, it's her baby.
6:30 Speaker 06 It's so fabulous.
6:31 Jessie Ware? You know, you've seen Reese on the screen, but you've also seen some of the biggest TV shows and films. Big Little Lies.
6:39 Speaker 06 Yeah.
6:40 Jessie Ware? Her and Nicole Kidman, I think, produced.
6:42 Speaker 06 Little Fires Everywhere.
6:43 Jessie Ware? Little Fires Everywhere. Daisy Jones and the Six.
6:46 Speaker 06 My favourite.
6:47 Jessie Ware? All, this is all her production company, Hello Sunshine. And so she's like a very-
6:52 Speaker 06 She must read a lot.
6:53 Jessie Ware? Yeah, she has the Reese's Book Club.
6:55 Speaker 06 What's she's reading this week?
6:56 Jessie Ware? Oh, we'll find out. Reese Witherspoon, coming up in Table manners.
7:09 Jessie Ware? Reese Witherspoon is here with us with a cup of tea and we're thrilled to have you.
7:14 Speaker 07 I love some PG Tips.
7:15 Speaker 06 Oh, you like PG Tips?
7:17 Speaker 07 Well, I made a couple of movies here when I was a little, yeah, like a young woman and I got so obsessed with PG Tips. Because it's all they offer on set. That and some like old cookies.
7:28 Speaker 06 You know, the advertisement for PG Tips was to be a chimpanzee. There used to be chimpanzees having tea parties. I've no idea, but that was the advertisement.
7:38 Jessie Ware? Not anymore. And I, he do like a little cookie in the afternoon, don't you?
7:42 Speaker 07 I do like a cookie.
7:43 Jessie Ware? Have you like sampled some British biscuit?
7:46 Speaker 07 Every day, like a cookie, every day.
7:48 Jessie Ware? What's the cookie that you're going to find in your house?
7:51 Speaker 07 My thirteen year old and I are determined to make the perfect chocolate chip cookie. So every day when he comes home from school, like every three days, we make a new batch of chocolate chip cookies. And we do it from a different recipe and a different book. And then we measure, is it more butter? Is it more sugar? What makes it a best cookie?
8:08 Jessie Ware? How near are you to perfecting the perfect chocolate chip cookie? And will you be coming out with a cookie? Yes, probably. It'll be the Hello Sunshine, it'll be the Sunny Cookie. Sure, surely.
8:19 Speaker 07 I'm just going to make cookies and it's going to be a hobby. And it's not going to be a business because I'm learning my lesson. But everything is not a business.
8:27 Jessie Ware? It's hard when you're so good at it, right?
8:28 Speaker 07 Some things are just a hobby.
8:30 Speaker 06 But actually, even if you fail on the cookies, you eat the ones that you failed on.
8:35 Speaker 07 Yeah, that's true.
8:35 Speaker 06 It's a win-win situation.
8:37 Speaker 07 Yeah. And there's science involved, you know?
8:40 Speaker 06 Of course there's science, yeah.
8:41 Speaker 07 He likes the big crispy ones.
8:44 Speaker 06 Not the chewy?
8:45 Speaker 07 No, I like chewy, dense and chewy. So mine have more flour and his have more butter.
8:50 Speaker 06 Okay.
8:52 Jessie Ware? He a good cook?
8:53 Speaker 07 He is, he just enjoys, um, well, he enjoys making food. My middle son loves cooking.
9:00 Jessie Ware? Really?
9:00 Speaker 07 He's really good at making steaks and mainly steaks.
9:04 Jessie Ware? Does he live with you?
9:06 Speaker 07 No, he's in college. He's in his last year of college.
9:09 Jessie Ware? Oh goodness, that's like, how can you look twelve? Cause she was quite young when she had her first two, yeah.
9:16 Speaker 07 I have a twenty six year old daughter. I know.
9:19 Speaker 06 I was trying to work out how old your children were, cause you look so young.
9:23 Speaker 07 Yes, I was very, very young.
9:25 Speaker 06 You were very young when you had.
9:26 Jessie Ware? Were you twenty three?
9:27 Speaker 07 I was twenty three when I had my daughter, yeah.
9:29 Speaker 06 Wow.
9:29 Speaker 07 Yeah. So I'm forty nine now, yeah. She's twenty six.
9:33 Jessie Ware? It must feel very diff- of course, but like having your son who's thirteen, you said?
9:38 Speaker 07 He's thirteen.
9:39 Jessie Ware? It must be a very different experience from when you were kind of on set. I've seen some of your Instagrams where it's like, you know, you were doing long hours. Those babies were coming with you and they were, you look like you're having a great time, but I'm sure that it was.
9:51 Speaker 07 It was really hard, yeah. It was hard.
9:54 Speaker 06 You live in L A?
9:55 Speaker 07 No, I live in Nashville, Tennessee.
9:57 Speaker 06 Oh, you live in Nashville?
9:58 Speaker 07 Where my mom lives, my dad lives, and my brother, my niece.
10:01 Speaker 06 And all your children are there?
10:02 Speaker 07 Um, no, my daughter, my daughter lives by herself in L A.
10:06 Speaker 06 Yeah.
10:07 Speaker 07 And then my son lives in New York, cause he goes to school in New York. And then my littlest guy goes to school in Nashville.
10:13 Jessie Ware? So that's kind of perfect. You've got one in every kind of place that you need to be like, I mean, the morning show from the hours.
10:20 Speaker 07 Yeah, I miss them. But, but I do shoot the morning show in L A. And so I get to see my daughter when I'm there.
10:25 Jessie Ware? It's not shot in New York?
10:27 Speaker 07 Parts of it are shot in New York. So we probably do a month in New York and five months in L A.
10:33 Jessie Ware? I love Nashville and I have not been there enough. And, but I got, I got completely obsessed with that TV show Nashville as well. And then I was like, I just wanna be a country singer.
10:42 Speaker 07 It was really good.
10:43 Jessie Ware? It's really good.
10:44 Speaker 07 Yeah, the creator, Kelly Curry, is a friend of mine and she lives in Nashville too. So we just have the best dinner parties and.
10:50 Jessie Ware? Really?
10:51 Speaker 07 She's just so funny.
10:52 Jessie Ware? Okay, tell me about a, a typical Nashville dinner party. What's gonna be on the table?
10:59 Speaker 07 Oh, okay.
11:00 Jessie Ware? Is it still quite southern food?
11:02 Speaker 07 I mean, I would say so. My grandma was a really great cook. So she kind of taught me how to roast everything, you know? Barbecue is a big deal in the south. But probably same stuff that you guys would make, like roast chicken and fish, you know?
11:19 Jessie Ware? Is the weather nice there at the moment?
11:21 Speaker 07 Right now, yes, beautiful. It's really lovely in the fall. It's really lovely in the spring and.
11:27 Jessie Ware? Hot in the summer.
11:28 Speaker 07 It's unbearably hot in the summer. Like, you can barely breathe. It's so hot.
11:35 Jessie Ware? So where do you go in the summer to cool off?
11:37 Speaker 07 Oh, well, you know, Wyoming or come here. I usually come here for a couple of weeks.
11:43 Jessie Ware? You like Europe?
11:44 Speaker 07 In the summer, yeah. Just it's cooler. Um, I know, and you guys probably think it's boiling hot, but it's not compared to Tennessee.
11:51 Jessie Ware? We thought it was so hot this year.
11:53 Speaker 07 People will turn to me in July here and go, oh, so hot. I'm like, oh.
11:57 Jessie Ware? No.
11:58 Speaker 07 The hot, you don't know hot until you go to Nashville.
12:00 Jessie Ware? But we don't have A C everywhere. That's the thing. So we can't like control it. So we're. Poor Will Poulter was on the podcast last, in the summer when we were doing the last season. And we were dripping. Everyone was dripping. We all looked completely, it was quite disgusting, actually. He was lovely.
12:16 Speaker 06 He was lovely. He was hot, though.
12:18 Jessie Ware? So he was hot in every sense of the word, yes.
12:22 Speaker 07 Okay, you're really cute. My mom would do the same thing. She'd be like wink at me.
12:26 Speaker 06 Yeah. He was cute.
12:28 Speaker 07 My mom has a total thing about that guy from Outlander.
12:32 Jessie Ware? Which one?
12:32 Speaker 07 Do you know the Huguen?
12:35 Jessie Ware? I don't watch it. Should I watch it?
12:37 Speaker 07 My mother says it's fantastic and very sexy.
12:40 Speaker 06 Kind of fantasy.
12:41 Speaker 07 It's fantasy.
12:42 Jessie Ware? It's supposed to be hot as well. Your mother, I bet your mom likes Bridgerton.
12:45 Speaker 07 Sam Huguen is his name.
12:47 Speaker 06 Was he the one in? No, one day, Sam Hugh.
12:51 Jessie Ware? No.
12:53 Speaker 06 That was Sam Clapham, wasn't it?
12:54 Jessie Ware? That was, no, and he was in Daisy Jones and the Six.
12:57 Speaker 07 That's right.
12:58 Jessie Ware? Which is fantastic.
12:59 Speaker 06 Oh, I loved it.
13:00 Speaker 07 Oh, thank you for watching.
13:02 Speaker 06 I loved it so much.
13:03 Speaker 07 I love that show so much.
13:05 Speaker 06 Oh, I thought she was.
13:07 Speaker 07 Sublime.
13:07 Speaker 06 Sublime.
13:08 Jessie Ware? Unbelievable.
13:09 Speaker 07 And you know, Stevie Nicks like reached out and said, I want to meet Riley Keo. She was so good. It reminded me when I first started Fleetwood Mac. And so I got to facilitate them meeting in Nashville. And it was really one of the most special moments of my career.
13:24 Speaker 06 It was just so good.
13:26 Speaker 07 Stevie told us all night long, her stories about Fleetwood Mac and her relationships and her love affairs. And just how everything about Daisy Jones reminded her of her.
13:37 Speaker 06 Oh, it was like watching Fleetwood Mac, I think.
13:40 Speaker 07 It was amazing.
13:40 Jessie Ware? Well.
13:41 Speaker 07 While my dog sat on her lap and she like pet my dog and I was like.
13:44 Speaker 06 Oh, my God, I'm dying. So what's your dog like?
13:47 Speaker 07 My dog is amazing.
13:49 Speaker 06 A Fittinelle dog?
13:50 Speaker 07 A what dog?
13:51 Speaker 06 What, a dog like?
13:52 Speaker 07 Oh, like Elwood's? No.
13:54 Jessie Ware? Bit bigger.
13:55 Speaker 07 It's a French Bulldog and she's little though. She never grew. So her name is Minnie.
14:00 Speaker 06 Oh, sweet.
14:01 Speaker 07 She's black and white and she looks like a little tiny cow.
14:04 Jessie Ware? Oh, sweet. They're either bat pigs or cows, aren't they?
14:07 Speaker 07 Oh, they're so cute. And she knows when she goes to work, I'm like, Minnie, we have to go to work. We're gonna do a social media post for Reese's Book Club today and she gets all ready and she's like, she literally poses. So she's like, she's like.
14:18 Jessie Ware? Work. Oh, works. Let's talk about Reese's Book Club because actually my university housemate actually got, one of her books got chosen.
14:27 Speaker 07 No way.
14:27 Jessie Ware? Before we were innocent, Ella Berman.
14:29 Speaker 07 Love it.
14:30 Jessie Ware? I know that you read a lot and you read with your grandma.
14:33 Speaker 07 Yes.
14:33 Jessie Ware? And she kind of would do the accents and the, the characters.
14:37 Speaker 07 She would act it out for me.
14:38 Jessie Ware? Did you do that for your children?
14:39 Speaker 07 Yes.
14:40 Jessie Ware? Do they appreciate it? Because my children don't appreciate when I do the accents. They say, calm down.
14:44 Speaker 07 See, it's taken them now into their twenties. They remember me reading in the character voices. And I have one very famous character with my children, which is, it's a Swedish narwhal. She's a Swedish narwhal.
14:57 Jessie Ware? What, the like narwhal?
14:59 Speaker 07 She's a narwhal, yeah.
15:00 Jessie Ware? What book was this?
15:01 Speaker 07 I don't know.
15:02 Jessie Ware? You just were doing.
15:03 Speaker 07 But I do, she's with this, the lilt.
15:07 Speaker 06 Please do the Swedish.
15:07 Speaker 07 No, I can't.
15:08 Speaker 06 No, you need to.
15:09 Speaker 07 They do this Swedish narwhal and she comes to, she comes to visit the children. And I don't know, my children thought it was so fricking funny. So now they, you know, especially my little guy, always talks about the Swedish narwhal.
15:22 Speaker 06 See, my children damage your.
15:23 Speaker 07 And I would make them laugh, like they thought it was really funny that I had these ridiculous voices. But it, it's actually what I remember the most about learning to read was that my grandmother did all the voices. And I thought she was so funny. And, you know, there's all these statistics about literacy rates and children are just dropping like crazy. Um, especially during COVID, it just turned into a total screen takeover. And a lot of kids weren't reading anymore for pleasure. And I think a lot of that starts with reading to young kids and making a ritual of it. Whether you reach them, you know, at night or just 20 minutes during the day. There used to be a program here in the UK called Read with Nans.
16:07 Speaker 06 What's that?
16:08 Speaker 07 I don't know, but they need to bring it back. A friend of mine who, um, has this fantastic, um,
16:14 Speaker 07 he, his name is Pierre Lagrange and he has this like early childhood reader program. Um, it's called Words, Mrs. Wordsmith.
16:22 Speaker 06 Okay.
16:22 Speaker 07 And he was telling me they had this program here where Nans, they would go in and read to kids.
16:29 Speaker 06 Yeah, we, we do that in school.
16:30 Speaker 07 You do?
16:31 Speaker 06 Yeah, people go and there's help. I did.
16:33 Speaker 07 No, did you?
16:34 Speaker 06 Yeah, I went to Honeywell. If you were a good parent, you went in, so you carried favor with all the teachers. So you went in and you sat in the class and would sit and hear the, cause the, the teachers only heard you read about 10 minutes a week. So they had to help us going in.
16:50 Speaker 07 I just love this idea of, yeah, reading with Nans, cause.
16:53 Speaker 06 Maybe you should add it to the book.
16:55 Speaker 07 I'm thinking about trying to start a program or like a, like a series where. I don't know, where Nan's reads to little kids.
17:03 Speaker 06 Who recommends books to you?
17:05 Speaker 07 Okay, so I have a team of um probably three people who read the books first. And they get them very early, like probably a year before they're published. And they all read it and then they decide whether or not they recommend it to me and then it goes to me.
17:21 Jessie Ware? So it's kind of like your own mini book club is like before.
17:25 Speaker 07 Yeah.
17:25 Jessie Ware? Cause I've just started a book club with my girlfriends. I feel like I'm at that age. I'm forty, I'm gonna be forty one. It's like, it's time for a book club.
17:31 Speaker 07 Yeah.
17:32 Jessie Ware? I saw romantic comedy is on the book club.
17:35 Speaker 07 Yes.
17:35 Jessie Ware? Which is one of my favorite books.
17:37 Speaker 06 So favorite, when's it gonna be made into a film?
17:39 Jessie Ware? Have you got the rights?
17:40 Speaker 07 We have the rights.
17:41 Jessie Ware? Which makes sense.
17:42 Speaker 07 We have a script.
17:43 Jessie Ware? Great. Who's playing the girl?
17:45 Speaker 07 We don't know yet.
17:46 Jessie Ware? Can we put in some of those people?
17:49 Speaker 06 Ashling B.
17:50 Jessie Ware? Ashling B, she's a comedian, Irish.
17:52 Speaker 06 She wanted to talk, she didn't know who had got the rights and she was on the podcast, she said, we all had just read it. It was just after summer, I think.
18:02 Speaker 07 Yeah.
18:02 Speaker 06 And she said, I love it so much and I'm perfect for the part.
18:06 Jessie Ware? So we're just throwing her in the ring. Ashling B, she's in films with Paul Rudd, she's fantastic. She's brilliant.
18:13 Speaker 06 Yeah.
18:13 Speaker 07 Great.
18:14 Jessie Ware? So I'm just throwing that out.
18:15 Speaker 07 Okay, I love it. I love it.
18:16 Jessie Ware? And if it happens, we'll be thrilled.
18:18 Speaker 07 Development executive immediately.
18:19 Jessie Ware? Great, thank you.
18:20 Speaker 07 Um, you know what? Can I say something about book clubs and why I think they're important and you, you're so right? Because first of all, we need to stop scrolling and get into the real world, right? Cause I'm guilty of it too.
18:30 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
18:31 Speaker 07 But when you read books and socialize the concepts inside of them, you're actually doing a community service of getting people together, you know, and we need to, we need to remember that people are super duper lonely.
18:45 Jessie Ware? Hmm.
18:46 Speaker 07 People need to talk about things like love, loss, grief in community. Not a lot of people can afford therapy. And it's a way we synthesize the human experience and kind of share it with each other, right?
18:58 Speaker 06 Oh, you see, my book club wasn't like that.
19:01 Speaker 07 What was that?
19:02 Speaker 06 Too.
19:04 Speaker 06 Well, they didn't want to chat about feelings and how it made you feel. They wanted to, they treated it like a kind of further education class. I don't, I want to talk about how it made me feel and also, I'm Jewish. I cut across people and interrupt and they hate that. So we had to go in turn and, and the one person in charge kept saying, can we take it in turn?
19:28 Jessie Ware? Oh, that's not fun.
19:29 Speaker 06 And I knew it was directed at me, so I wouldn't speak.
19:33 Jessie Ware? Were you asked to leave or did you leave?
19:34 Speaker 06 I left.
19:35 Jessie Ware? Okay. Um, right, we're going.
19:37 Speaker 07 This sounds like a very boring book club. Come to my book club.
19:40 Speaker 06 I'll come in your book.
19:40 Speaker 07 It's, it's much more fun and it's in Nashville. So we can go to a honky tonk after.
19:44 Speaker 06 Yeah, honky tonk after. Do you wear rhinestones a lot?
19:47 Jessie Ware? Oh.
19:48 Speaker 06 Do you, do you have a big hat?
19:51 Jessie Ware? For like what, Saturdays?
19:52 Speaker 06 And do line dancing?
19:53 Speaker 07 Well, I do know how to line dance. I can teach you how to line dance. Yeah.
19:56 Jessie Ware? Really?
19:57 Speaker 07 So easy. But I do, I have tons of cowboy boots. I don't wear rhinestones.
20:02 Speaker 06 Okay. Have you got a cowboy hat?
20:05 Speaker 07 I really don't. That's more Texas.
20:07 Speaker 06 Is, oh, is that more Texas?
20:08 Speaker 07 In my opinion.
20:09 Speaker 06 Okay, but cowboy boots aren't Texas.
20:12 Speaker 07 No, they are, but they're very Nashville.
20:14 Speaker 06 Okay.
20:16 Jessie Ware? Maybe.
20:16 Speaker 07 We didn't wear hats. We wore boots.
20:18 Speaker 06 Okay, wear boots?
20:20 Speaker 07 And you can wear a big belt.
20:21 Speaker 06 A, a big belt. You wear jeans, big belts?
20:26 Speaker 07 Jeans or a tiny little cute skirt.
20:28 Speaker 06 Yeah.
20:29 Speaker 07 And then, yeah, and then you can't, I'm, some people wear rhinestones.
20:33 Speaker 06 Yeah.
20:34 Jessie Ware? I'm imagining Lenny going to get kitted out. What's that famous road that, what the, what's it, the, um?
20:41 Speaker 07 Yeah, Broadway.
20:41 Jessie Ware? Yeah, Broadway.
20:42 Speaker 07 You go down to Broadway and then you can, they can dress you up and then put the boots on you.
20:46 Speaker 06 Oh.
20:46 Speaker 07 And then we go line dancing.
20:47 Speaker 06 Okay, and then we go line dancing.
20:49 Speaker 07 At the Wild Horse Saloon.
20:50 Speaker 06 The Wild Horse Saloon.
20:51 Jessie Ware? It sounds heaven.
20:51 Speaker 06 And where do you, if you're in Nashville, where do you go to eat? I mean, do you?
20:56 Speaker 07 Do you want my list?
20:57 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
20:57 Speaker 06 Is Arnold's on there?
20:58 Speaker 07 Yeah, I love Arnold's. That's like a meat and three. You get your protein, which is usually something fried. Fried meat.
21:04 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
21:05 Speaker 07 And then you get three um soggy boiled vegetables. But I think they're delicious. They cook them in ham hocks and broth.
21:14 Jessie Ware? Delicious.
21:14 Speaker 07 So they're very salty and delicious.
21:16 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
21:16 Speaker 07 And so you usually do collard greens or green beans. They all look the same.
21:21 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
21:21 Speaker 07 And then mashed potatoes with lots of butter and lots of milk.
21:25 Jessie Ware? Okay.
21:26 Speaker 07 It's delicious.
21:27 Jessie Ware? Okay. And where else, if we were having a meat and three?
21:31 Speaker 07 You have to get hot chicken in Nashville.
21:33 Jessie Ware? Oh, okay.
21:34 Speaker 07 So we have hot chicken, Princess Hot Chicken or Hattie B's. And then they have like different levels of heat, so you can try.
21:41 Jessie Ware? Oh, a bit like Nando's. So would you never, would you never do hot ones?
21:47 Speaker 07 I, I was gonna do hot ones. But I had to cancel.
21:52 Jessie Ware? Okay, so maybe you will do it.
21:53 Speaker 07 I had something I had to do the next day and I could not be feeling like that.
21:56 Jessie Ware? What, like the Ring of Fire?
21:58 Speaker 07 I can't do that.
21:59 Jessie Ware? No.
21:59 Speaker 07 That's not for me. I don't like to do a talk show and then feel the talk show the next day.
22:06 Jessie Ware? Fair enough.
22:07 Speaker 07 Do you know what I'm saying?
22:08 Jessie Ware? I know what you're saying, but.
22:09 Speaker 06 Was what, the line done in Nashville?
22:11 Speaker 07 Okay, actually, it was done in Memphis, Tennessee.
22:14 Speaker 06 Oh, Memphis.
22:14 Speaker 07 And parts of Arkansas, which Arkansas and Memphis share the Mississippi River, so you just cross over a bridge and you're in Arkansas. But Mississippi, um Memphis is really amazing with Beale Street. So if you ever go to Memphis, of course, Graceland, of course, of course, Sun Records, of course, of course. But Beale Street is one of the coolest places to hear the blues. The original blues and you hear it, people there who really cannot believe they're not famous singing artists, like recording artists.
22:46 Jessie Ware? Well, I feel like you've kind of been in all these places that have music at the heart of them. You're talking like, and weren't you born in New Orleans?
22:55 Speaker 07 I was born in New Orleans, yeah.
22:56 Jessie Ware? So like you've got Frenchman's, I mean, like it's kind of, it feels like it follows you. It's like, I mean, wasn't Coleman Domingo in that um Beale Street film?
23:04 Speaker 07 Yes.
23:05 Jessie Ware? That was a great film, wasn't it?
23:06 Speaker 07 Yes. If Beale Street could talk.
23:07 Jessie Ware? Yes, that was a beautiful, was that about that Beale Street?
23:10 Speaker 07 Mm-hmm.
23:10 Jessie Ware? Okay. Um can we go back to your grandma?
23:13 Speaker 07 Sure.
23:13 Jessie Ware? Who you talk about um so fondly and your mum.
23:18 Jessie Ware? Was a nurse?
23:19 Speaker 07 She's checking.
23:20 Jessie Ware? She's checking the chicken.
23:21 Speaker 07 Okay.
23:21 Jessie Ware? Yeah. Um, your mum was a nurse?
23:23 Speaker 07 My mother was a nurse and my dad was a doctor in the military first.
23:28 Jessie Ware? So you're, you talk about your grandma kind of helping to bring you up.
23:31 Speaker 07 Yes.
23:32 Jessie Ware? And what are some of the, can you give us, um, paint the picture of a very memorable meal? And who was sitting around the dinner table?
23:40 Speaker 07 Oh, my gosh. My grandmother made the best food. So every Sunday she would do kind of Sunday night dinner supper. And we would go over there and it'd be my mom and me and my brother and my dad and his brother. Um, and my grandma and grandpa. And there was a while there when we moved back, because we were in the military. When we moved back from Germany, we lived with my grandparents for a year or two years. So I just, I remember us like sleeping on the couch and then my grandmother be cooking. And she'd make honey coated ham. So like sugared candied ham.
24:16 Jessie Ware? Yum.
24:17 Speaker 07 Um, sweet potatoes with, you know, marshmallows and, um, candied pecans on the top. And green beans and mashed potatoes. She'd make these like dough rolls, like yeast rolls that were like, um, kind of puffy, like a little loaf of bread.
24:33 Jessie Ware? Okay.
24:34 Speaker 07 Uh, lots of butter and always dessert. She loved meringue pie, so she could make the meringue really thick. And so she'd either do a chocolate cream with meringue on top or a lemon cream with the meringue. And then she'd toast the top of the meringue. I can't.
24:50 Jessie Ware? So she was an amazing cook?
24:52 Speaker 07 She was, yeah, and she really loved it.
24:55 Jessie Ware? And she was your dad's mum?
24:57 Speaker 07 Yes, my dad's mum.
24:59 Jessie Ware? What about the other grandma?
25:00 Speaker 07 She passed away when my mom was really young.
25:02 Jessie Ware? Oh, so you never tasted that?
25:04 Speaker 07 No, but I was named after her. Um, and my mom always says I'm a lot like, her name's Laura Jean Reese and I'm Laura Jean Reese.
25:11 Speaker 06 Oh, so Reece isn't your first name?
25:14 Speaker 07 No, Laura Jean is my first name.
25:16 Speaker 06 Laura Jean, well, that sounds deep south to me.
25:19 Jessie Ware? They're all good.
25:20 Speaker 07 Yeah, we have these double names. These southern girls have double names, yeah.
25:24 Speaker 06 Oh, wow.
25:24 Jessie Ware? Can we, uh, we, we ask everybody what their last supper would be? And before we start eating a little bit, so the last supper, you don't, you can go to a desert island or you can go back to the wilderness, like, you know, it's, um, a starter, a main, a dessert.
25:40 Speaker 07 Whoa.
25:40 Jessie Ware? And a drink of choice.
25:41 Speaker 07 Okay.
25:41 Jessie Ware? So you can think about it, we can come back to it.
25:43 Speaker 07 Oh, no, I already know.
25:44 Jessie Ware? You've got it. Okay, fine. Right, hit me.
25:47 Speaker 07 Starter. Your mom left the interview, just FYI.
25:51 Jessie Ware? This is what happens. This is what happens.
25:53 Speaker 07 Lenny!
25:55 Jessie Ware? No, she just, this is the thing. So then we take, it's like, yeah, she's plating up. So then we just carry on. Don't worry, she hasn't left. She's just doing, she's, she's doing the work.
26:06 Speaker 07 She's hosting a party.
26:07 Jessie Ware? Exactly. So starter, main, dessert, drink of choice.
26:11 Speaker 07 Okay, starter. Well, I mean, why not start with dessert? Because you're dying.
26:18 Jessie Ware? Oh, we're dying. We're not, we're not going to.
26:20 Speaker 07 You said last meal.
26:21 Jessie Ware? Yeah, I know, but I said it can be your last supper. If you want to do it like that.
26:24 Speaker 07 I'm gonna start with dessert.
26:26 Jessie Ware? Okay.
26:27 Speaker 07 Okay. I'm gonna have a baked Alaska.
26:29 Jessie Ware? Oh, delicious.
26:31 Speaker 07 I don't know how people make a baked Alaska, but it's the most delicious, in my mind, it's what baby Jesus ate.
26:42 Speaker 07 Because it's that delicious.
26:46 Jessie Ware? It's really professional. Don't worry. It's like, it's, it's, this is it. Welcome to our world.
26:51 Speaker 07 It's all right.
26:52 Jessie Ware? She's, you're killing it, Lenny. Okay, so you're starting with baked Alaska. Is there a particular baked Alaska that you've tried or has it been, well, you just always have it on the menu?
27:00 Speaker 07 I had it somewhere recently where I was like, this is the best one ever, and I can't remember where. But I had it with my little, my thirteen year old, and he and I were like, this is insane. Cause it's some like, I don't even know, y'all know what baked Alaska is, but it was like, ice cream, but then something about a hot layer and then meringue on top.
27:20 Jessie Ware? It's delicious.
27:21 Speaker 07 So good. I love meringue.
27:22 Jessie Ware? Maybe you could try and make, your cookie could be almost within, incorporated within your baked Alaska if you and your son make it. Maybe it's too much.
27:32 Speaker 07 No, I like that.
27:32 Jessie Ware? But I, um, I love a meringue too. So, okay, we're starting with that.
27:36 Speaker 07 Okay.
27:37 Jessie Ware? And then where are we going after that?
27:39 Speaker 07 Then I'm gonna have a pasta bolognese, because there's nothing better on earth.
27:43 Jessie Ware? I agree with you.
27:44 Speaker 07 Yeah.
27:45 Jessie Ware? Mum, she just went with spag bol.
27:47 Speaker 06 I love spaghetti bolognese, it's one of my favorites.
27:49 Speaker 07 That's what I have to have.
27:50 Jessie Ware? Are you having a home cooked one, or are you going somewhere for it?
27:55 Speaker 07 There's this restaurant in Los Angeles called Capo that has the most delicious one ever.
28:00 Jessie Ware? Really?
28:01 Speaker 07 Mm-hmm.
28:02 Jessie Ware? Have you asked the chef what they put in it? Because you know everyone's got their trick.
28:05 Speaker 07 No, because I don't want to have to make it at home, because then I'll have to eat it.
28:08 Speaker 06 Lisa, I've done roast chicken, but you need to tell me which bit of roast chicken you like.
28:13 Speaker 07 Well, I kind of like the, um.
28:15 Speaker 06 Like breast?
28:16 Speaker 07 I like the leg and thigh.
28:17 Speaker 06 The leg and thigh.
28:18 Speaker 07 Thank you. This is delicious. Are you kidding me? This is beautiful.
28:22 Jessie Ware? Thanks, Mum.
28:23 Speaker 06 Pleasure, darling.
28:24 Jessie Ware? I promise I will help kind of with the clearing up.
28:27 Speaker 07 Is there anything we can do to help?
28:28 Speaker 06 No, nothing. I'm, I'm on it. I might not look if I am.
28:32 Jessie Ware? She's a pro. Basically, this, this podcast was born out of the fact that my mum's always cooked for my friends. So that's kind of why we do it. But, um.
28:41 Speaker 07 I love that.
28:42 Jessie Ware? So, okay, so we've got spag bol. Are you having any sides?
28:47 Speaker 07 No.
28:48 Jessie Ware? Just spag bol?
28:48 Speaker 07 Why bother?
28:49 Jessie Ware? No. No, fair enough.
28:51 Speaker 07 This is my last meal.
28:53 Jessie Ware? Okay, so, bait's a laster.
28:55 Speaker 07 Whatever, I'm desert island, I'm not going to worry about, you know, eating greens.
29:01 Jessie Ware? Fine.
29:02 Speaker 07 I think I'm done with that part of my life.
29:04 Jessie Ware? Now, are we gonna end with a starter, or are we just gonna go back to a put?
29:08 Speaker 07 You know what I'm gonna end with? Something I just had this summer in Florence, Italy. That is the most delicious thing I've ever had in my entire life.
29:18 Speaker 07 An offigato, but with pistachio ice cream and pistachio cream on the side of the cup.
29:26 Jessie Ware? I've never heard of this and I'm into it.
29:28 Speaker 07 It's insane.
29:30 Jessie Ware? That's, so on the pistachio cream, like, how is the cream, like, is it whipped cream, like?
29:36 Speaker 07 No, it's made like a hazelnut butter.
29:37 Jessie Ware? So it's like a, okay, fine, okay.
29:39 Speaker 07 Pistachio butter.
29:40 Jessie Ware? So like what we'd find in like the Dubai chocolate?
29:42 Speaker 07 Correct.
29:43 Jessie Ware? Okay.
29:44 Speaker 07 Oh, I have to have Dubai chocolate.
29:46 Jessie Ware? It is good, isn't it?
29:47 Speaker 07 With the little filo dough crispiness in the middle.
29:49 Jessie Ware? My mum made it for a guest on this, yeah.
29:51 Speaker 07 What? You made chocolate?
29:53 Speaker 06 It's easy.
29:54 Jessie Ware? You like homemade chocolate. You got your little moulds, didn't you?
29:59 Speaker 06 I've got mould.
30:00 Jessie Ware? Thanks, Mum.
30:01 Speaker 07 Do you temper your own chocolate?
30:02 Speaker 06 Yeah, I did for that.
30:04 Jessie Ware? Willy Wonka over here.
30:07 Speaker 06 I don't know how much you want, Reece.
30:09 Jessie Ware? Reece, how much do you want? Well, a leg or legging of, yeah.
30:13 Speaker 07 You know, it's still early in the morning, so I'm gonna, um...
30:17 Speaker 06 Okay, I'm not gonna overface it.
30:18 Speaker 07 Little bite.

33:40 Jessie Ware? This does look good.
33:41 Speaker 06 Just with some wine.
33:43 Speaker 07 Wine?
33:44 Speaker 06 Some cranberry sauces in that as well.
33:46 Jessie Ware? Sweeten it up a little bit.
33:47 Speaker 06 Sweeten it up.
33:49 Speaker 07 And you do broth?
33:51 Speaker 06 I use the broth from the chickens.
33:53 Speaker 07 You do?
33:54 Speaker 06 Yeah.
33:55 Speaker 07 And it creates enough broth to make a gravy? All right, would you like some greens?
33:59 Jessie Ware? I'd love some, thanks. You're here to promote the morning show, which is excellent.
34:03 Speaker 07 I am, and thank you for having a song on our show, Jesse.
34:06 Jessie Ware? Oh my God, I loved it.
34:07 Speaker 06 I need another one.
34:08 Speaker 07 I know.
34:09 Speaker 06 I love the morning show.
34:11 Jessie Ware? I love the opening of Big Little Lies. That was iconic singing.
34:15 Speaker 07 That one was good.
34:16 Jessie Ware? The Michael Komenuka sing- it's iconic.
34:18 Speaker 07 That one was really good.
34:19 Jessie Ware? Sometimes like-
34:20 Speaker 07 Every time I'm in a yoga class, they play that song called "Little Heart" from Big Little Lies, and I'm like, are they playing this? Because I'm in the show.
34:29 Jessie Ware? Yeah, is it awkward?
34:30 Speaker 07 Whenever I walk into a bar and they're playing a Johnny Cash song, I'm like-
34:33 Jessie Ware? Did they just say?
34:34 Speaker 07 Or Sweet Home Alabama. Like, I have all these songs that I associate with movies.
34:39 Jessie Ware? Can I add another one to that?
34:40 Speaker 07 Yeah, tell me.
34:41 Jessie Ware? This is the part when I say I don't wanna. Sing, Rosita, Rosita.
34:46 Speaker 07 Oh, yeah.
34:46 Jessie Ware? That was iconic.
34:47 Speaker 07 Oh, you're a mom, so you know Sing.
34:50 Jessie Ware? We love Sing.
34:51 Speaker 07 And you know, I'm, I see a lot of people don't know I'm in that movie.
34:54 Jessie Ware? You're the best piggy ever.
34:57 Jessie Ware? You and Gunther.
34:58 Speaker 07 I love that movie.
34:59 Jessie Ware? It's such a great movie. Now, I actually think the second movie was better.
35:03 Speaker 07 I, I kind of agree.
35:05 Jessie Ware? Yeah, that.
35:05 Speaker 06 That sounds this, Jessie, Sing.
35:08 Jessie Ware? Sing.
35:08 Speaker 06 Who is she?
35:10 Jessie Ware? The pig. You were the pig. The really hardworking mum of like, how many piglets did she have? Like?
35:15 Speaker 07 Thirty-four.
35:16 Jessie Ware? So many. Like, really.
35:19 Speaker 07 So whenever you feel overwhelmed, just remember someone has thirty-four children. And then suck it up and just be quiet.
35:26 Jessie Ware? It's so true. It's so true. But that was really good. Are they gonna do another one of them?
35:31 Speaker 07 I don't know.
35:32 Jessie Ware? I hope so. So if we were coming around to your house and we opened up the fridge.
35:38 Speaker 07 Yeah.
35:38 Jessie Ware? Apart from cookie dough, maybe we'd find, what would we always find in Reese, Reese Witherspoon's fridge?
35:44 Speaker 07 Okay, a lot of vegetables, like probably everything you've seen. Leeks, carrots.
35:50 Jessie Ware? Mm-hmm.
35:51 Speaker 07 Celery. So I make a lot of, oh, I, every morning I make a green smoothie. I put in spinach, romaine lettuce, an apple, a pear, a banana, and a whole lemon.
36:02 Jessie Ware? Do you actually enjoy that? No, but you do it.
36:05 Speaker 07 I actually enjoy it. I've been drinking it for ten years.
36:08 Jessie Ware? Okay, fair enough.
36:08 Speaker 07 It's changed my skin, my.
36:10 Jessie Ware? Oh, really? Oh, now I'm in. Okay, now we're talking about.
36:13 Speaker 07 I'm telling you.
36:14 Jessie Ware? It's gonna reverse aging, sure.
36:15 Speaker 07 Makes your eyes white, it, it's like everything.
36:17 Jessie Ware? Do you add any like chlorophyll in those thingies?
36:20 Speaker 07 No, I don't put anything in it. Um, I just drink it, cause it's pure, you know, fresh produce. So it's really good.
36:27 Jessie Ware? What's it taste like?
36:28 Speaker 07 It tastes kind of more apple and lemon.
36:30 Jessie Ware? Fine.
36:31 Speaker 07 It tastes like apple lemon juice, but it has like a little lettuce taste to it. So you gotta just choke it down.
36:35 Jessie Ware? Does your son, your thirteen-year-old, um, drink it as well?
36:39 Speaker 07 Absolutely not.
36:42 Speaker 06 You make your children drink it. Sam does. He calls it green juice.
36:46 Jessie Ware? Yeah, we call it dinosaur smoothie for the four year olds. So he will drink it.
36:50 Speaker 07 What do you put in the dinosaur smoothie?
36:52 Jessie Ware? And well, to make it green, it'll probably be like spinach or something, but we'll all bananas, you know. What else is in there? Whatever's kind of, we freeze the bananas, which I think is good.
37:02 Speaker 07 It helps. Makes it better.
37:04 Jessie Ware? Yeah, but Sam's usually a bit, they're more khaki than green, I'd say. They're kind of, he needs to put more of the green in, do you know what I mean? They're like, they go a bit of a sad color.
37:13 Speaker 07 Hmm.
37:14 Jessie Ware? They're not vibrant.
37:14 Speaker 07 Mm hmm.
37:15 Jessie Ware? Um, okay. So we'd find fresh produce. Great. In your freezer, which ice cream is in there?
37:21 Speaker 07 I really like this ice cream that they make in Nashville. It's called Baked Bear. And it's coffee flavored ice cream with Oreos in it.
37:28 Jessie Ware? Oh, wow.
37:29 Speaker 07 What? Yes, your face says it all. It's that delicious.
37:32 Jessie Ware? That's heaven because coffee is our favorite ice cream.
37:35 Speaker 07 Same.
37:36 Jessie Ware? Oh, my God.
37:36 Speaker 07 Coffee. Do you know what's one of my favorite things that moms and daughters do?
37:39 Jessie Ware? What?
37:40 Speaker 07 Talk about what they bought at the grocery store. My mom will go, I just went to Trader Joe's. Have you been to Trader Joe's? It's just great. Y'all have Trader Joe's?
37:48 Jessie Ware? No, but I love Trader Joe's.
37:50 Speaker 07 She's like, I got these ginger snap cookies and they only come out at Christmas time and they are delicious. Reese, you have to go get a box of these ginger snap cookies. So I'll go down, get the box of cookies and I'm like, Mom, they're okay. They're like a little dry, but we'll literally have a conversation from the grocery store. And then she tells me what she bought. I bought half a baked potato. And um, that's what I had for dinner and I put a little chili with it and it was delicious.
38:15 Jessie Ware? That's um, I mean, I guess we are basically together for most meal times now. So we know exactly, but we do, how many, how many times a day do you speak to your mom?
38:26 Speaker 07 Well, I text with her every day and then every Sunday we have dinner. And I make like spaghetti bolognese because it's, I ma- I normally really make four things pretty well and that, that's one of them.
38:40 Speaker 06 Do you have a secret ingredient in your spaghetti bolognese?
38:44 Speaker 07 Well, I always secretly try to put in vegetables. It doesn't, my kid is like, I see the spinach in that and you can't.
38:51 Speaker 06 Oh, you put spinach in.
38:53 Speaker 07 Is that terrible?
38:53 Speaker 06 Yeah.
38:54 Speaker 07 Okay, I won't do that.
38:55 Speaker 06 But don't you put carrots and celery in?
38:57 Speaker 07 I do, so I grate the carrots and the celery and um, and the onion.
39:01 Jessie Ware? Yeah, cause it has to be really small, cause otherwise the child is gonna, yeah.
39:05 Speaker 07 They taste it.
39:05 Jessie Ware? Mm-hmm.
39:06 Speaker 07 Yeah, no, that's, that's basically it. Nothing's fancy. And then, um, what else do I make? I roast chicken. Or I can make a steak or a filet mignon, something like that.
39:18 Speaker 06 A what?
39:18 Speaker 07 Filet mignon.
39:19 Speaker 06 A filet mignon.
39:20 Jessie Ware? How do you take your steak?
39:22 Speaker 07 Uh, medium.
39:24 Jessie Ware? And what sides are you gonna have with your steak?
39:28 Jessie Ware? If you're out.
39:29 Speaker 07 If I'm out?
39:30 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
39:31 Speaker 07 Like a twice baked potato?
39:33 Jessie Ware? Mmm.
39:34 Speaker 07 Like, like when they bake the potato, then they scoop out the middle and then they mix it with that.
39:39 Speaker 06 I do that.
39:40 Jessie Ware? It's so, it's glorious and you add some, oh, it's glorious.
39:43 Speaker 07 Really good.
39:43 Speaker 06 Sour cream and chives.
39:44 Speaker 07 It's really nice.
39:46 Jessie Ware? What's your um, sauce that you're gonna have?
39:47 Speaker 07 Sauce?
39:48 Speaker 06 Yeah, like a peppercorn, a bernaise, chimichurri.
39:51 Speaker 07 Oh, I don't really eat any sauce.
39:53 Jessie Ware? Not a condiment girl.
39:55 Speaker 07 I'm not big on it.
39:56 Jessie Ware? Fair enough.
39:57 Speaker 07 No.
39:57 Jessie Ware? That's okay. No judgment here.
40:01 Jessie Ware? Can I ask, because not only are you and Jennifer Aniston in the morning show and you are incredible and the new season is amazing on Apple TV plus.
40:09 Speaker 06 I've only watched, cause I love it so much.
40:12 Speaker 07 Yeah.
40:12 Speaker 06 I've only watched two because I really want to watch it on TV, not on my iPad.
40:17 Jessie Ware? I, I've watched five. I've got to the Chris Hunter episode, which is.
40:21 Speaker 06 Don't.
40:21 Jessie Ware? Excellent.
40:22 Speaker 06 But I just like watching it on TV.
40:25 Speaker 07 I know.
40:26 Speaker 06 On a big screen.
40:27 Speaker 07 You know what my mother says when she loves a TV show? She's like, it's like a little box of chocolates and I don't wanna eat too many.
40:33 Speaker 06 That's exactly.
40:34 Jessie Ware? Exactly how I felt.
40:35 Speaker 07 I like to eat one a week.
40:37 Jessie Ware? No, I I gorge, I binge.
40:39 Speaker 07 Do you?
40:40 Jessie Ware? I binge and then I feel shit about myself.
40:42 Speaker 07 Well, then you just don't have anything to look forward to.
40:44 Jessie Ware? I know, but like, so you you're not a binger with you.
40:47 Speaker 07 I can't binge because I get too sleepy.
40:49 Speaker 06 I would say that I think it's almost one of the best seasons I've watched.
40:54 Speaker 07 Thank you.
40:54 Speaker 06 To be honest, I think it's it's quite cutthroat. It's more exciting. I love all the different relationships. Old Corrie is coming out as not the nicest person in the world.
41:07 Speaker 07 That's right. Wait till you get to episode eight, you're gonna wanna stab him with something.
41:10 Jessie Ware? No, okay, we can't give away too much because then it would give away.
41:13 Speaker 07 No, no, maybe not episode eight, it might be nine, but you're like, are you joking? But do you love Jen with her dad?
41:20 Jessie Ware? With Jeremy Irons?
41:21 Speaker 06 Jeremy Irons.
41:22 Speaker 07 Can you die?
41:23 Jessie Ware? The casting is just.
41:25 Speaker 07 I can't.
41:25 Speaker 06 When I saw him and it's her father.
41:27 Jessie Ware? But like, whose idea was that?
41:29 Speaker 07 He's so funny. It was just like Jennifer and and casting our show, who's brilliant, Vicky Thomas, who cast our show. And he's just perfect. You, there's a really funny episode too where he does something really bad and she has to go get him and it's, oh, so funny.
41:47 Jessie Ware? I'm also, there's, I can't say much, but there's somebody that comes back. And that's a great character that comes back. And I'm happy because I always wondered where they went. But I want to know, because you and Jennifer, actually, you played her little sister in Friends.
42:01 Speaker 07 I did.
42:02 Jessie Ware? I just need to know, did you ever try the famous Jennifer Aniston quinoa salad on set? That apparently she ate every day.
42:08 Speaker 07 What the hell was that?
42:09 Jessie Ware? Oh, Dan, what? Is the internet lying to me?
42:13 Speaker 07 Did she have a, she has a famous salad?
42:15 Jessie Ware? And I don't know, this is.
42:16 Speaker 07 I think you were gonna ask me if I got her haircut.
42:17 Jessie Ware? This is, did you get her haircut?
42:19 Speaker 07 Of course.
42:19 Jessie Ware? Yeah, we all did.
42:20 Speaker 07 Yeah.
42:21 Jessie Ware? But, no, there's this, this is what my algorithms give me. Jennifer Aniston's famous Friends salad that she had. And it was like really small cut up, um, veg. It looked delicious. I think it it was quinoa, it had this certain vinegar, and apparently she ate it like every down set.
42:36 Speaker 07 Yum.
42:37 Jessie Ware? But I, that's a lie, isn't it?
42:39 Speaker 06 If someone said you've got to eat quinoa every day, I'd kill myself.
42:43 Jessie Ware? I like quinoa.
42:43 Speaker 06 Hate it. It's like frog spawn.
42:47 Jessie Ware? It's cooked wrong.
42:49 Speaker 06 Yeah, probably is, but I don't like it.
42:51 Speaker 07 I think, I mean, I wasn't gonna go all the way to Frog Spawn.
42:54 Speaker 06 Yeah, but it's horrible. Yeah, it's horrible.
42:56 Jessie Ware? Well, you're not cooking yours enough and you're cooking yours too much. That's where it's both going wrong.
43:01 Speaker 06 And it looks so unappetizing.
43:04 Jessie Ware? Okay, leave it alone. I want to stop about the quinoa. Anyway, fine.
43:09 Speaker 06 But every, everyone's hair was not Jennifer, it was Rachel. Yeah, I used to go in and say, I'm a hair like Rachel. That's what you wanted.
43:18 Jessie Ware? It didn't suit me, actually. It wasn't good. I got it down the road and it didn't look great on me, to be honest. I don't think it looked great on many people, did it?
43:26 Speaker 07 It was only good on her.
43:28 Jessie Ware? She's, is she lovely?
43:30 Speaker 07 Yes, she's so great. And she loves to have dinner parties and she loves having people over and she's sort of the mom of the group and she's, you know, Greek by heritage, so she's very, this is a generalization, but it's a good one, very warm and welcoming. You know, you just immediately are at ease with her.
43:51 Jessie Ware? It feels so exciting and inspiring what you've set up with Hello Sunshine. And also, like, I was doing a bit of a dive and like, the fact that you've got like Sunny as a platform, which is about for Gen Z. Can you explain a bit more about that?
44:06 Speaker 07 Yeah, so Hello Sunshine is our company where we make movies and television shows for women.
44:11 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
44:12 Speaker 07 Based on books written by women.
44:14 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
44:14 Speaker 07 And then we also do live events and we get people together to talk to experts and doctors and it's a really great sort of continuing education platform for women. So we decided last year, why don't we do this for moms and their daughters? So now we've got a Sunny, that's our brand, and we're gonna be doing books, podcasts, and also live events where you can bring your daughter, talk about all the things that nobody wants to talk about, but you really need to address, like social media, the show Adolescents.
44:43 Speaker 06 Is your mum a big feminist?
44:46 Speaker 07 My mom?
44:46 Speaker 06 Yeah.
44:47 Speaker 07 Um.
44:48 Speaker 06 Because it's got a feminist. Edge to it.
44:52 Speaker 07 You know, I I would say my mom is very everything that supports women because she worked in women's healthcare for many, many years and was in fertility. And she also worked in prenatal nursery. Um, so anything that concerns women's reproductive health or medical wellness is what my mom's biggest concern is. That's her passion in life is taking care of.
45:16 Speaker 06 Women's health.
45:17 Speaker 07 And advocating for them, you know, when she just feels like people aren't educated enough about their own bodies.
45:24 Speaker 06 So she influenced you.
45:25 Speaker 07 Oh, for sure. It was really interesting. My my grandmother was very academic and literary. She was a school teacher. And then my mom was very medical, nurse oriented, caring and service. So I'm kind of a blend between the two of them. And my mom grew up way out in the country and was sort of informal and has sort of country wisdom. And my grandmother was raised really proper. And so I I'm sort of a blend of the two of them.
45:52 Speaker 06 How long were you living in Germany?
45:54 Speaker 07 We lived there for four years.
45:56 Speaker 06 Oh, I like Priscilla Presley.
45:58 Speaker 07 Yes, my mother loves Priscilla Presley.
46:02 Speaker 06 Does she? Does she know her?
46:04 Speaker 07 No, she wishes she did.
46:05 Speaker 06 Oh, okay. I just wondered if they'd met. No, she's, well, your mother would, no, your grandmother would have been. How old is Priscilla Presley now?
46:14 Speaker 07 I have no idea.
46:15 Speaker 06 Well, she's Riley's mom.
46:18 Speaker 07 Grandma.
46:19 Speaker 06 Grandma, yes, that's right. Yeah, she must be, yeah.
46:25 Speaker 07 And she just has always been so put together and um I think my mother just really loves anybody who's sort of beautiful and enigmatic, like Princess Diana.
46:37 Speaker 06 Jackie, Jackie O.
46:39 Speaker 07 Jackie O, Kate Middleton. You know.
46:42 Jessie Ware? Whilst whilst you're in London.
46:43 Speaker 07 Yes.
46:44 Jessie Ware? Have you eaten anywhere great? Have you gone to the theatre? Have you got time? Do you need any recommendations?
46:49 Speaker 07 Oh, you're so sweet. I'm gonna go tomorrow night to see Sean Hayes in the last night of his play.
46:54 Jessie Ware? Is that the Oscar?
46:56 Speaker 07 Yeah, Good Luck Oscar.
46:57 Jessie Ware? Good Luck Oscar. It's at the Barbican?
46:59 Speaker 07 Yeah, that's right.
47:00 Jessie Ware? I love the Barbican. They've got a good martini bar there.
47:02 Speaker 07 I've never been there. I'm gonna go grab a martini and watch Sean Hayes. Be brilliant.
47:06 Jessie Ware? Well, it's like this amazing brutalist um architecture.
47:09 Speaker 07 Oh.
47:10 Jessie Ware? And but there is a martini bar in there. Maybe just pop in.
47:13 Speaker 07 You know what I really like to do here? I like to go to little restaurants and um. I met this chef a few years ago, Ashma Khan. She has um, I think it's called Jar Juling. It's over uh near the theatre district. Maybe y'all can look it up. But she has this great Indian restaurant. That's just like homemade Indian food. It's really lovely. And she's so funny and so brilliant. She came to speak at my conference in L A. I loved her so much. I saw her speaking at another conference. And she only hires grandma's. And then grandma's cook the food. And she's like, because whenever I would ask somebody in the food business.
47:54 Speaker 07 Um who's the best cook you know? And they'd say, my grandma. So she was like, why am I hiring anybody but grandma's? So I love the whole concept. It's really beautiful. And then I love melt chocolate.
48:05 Jessie Ware? Milk chocolate?
48:06 Speaker 07 Melt.
48:07 Jessie Ware? Oh, melt.
48:07 Speaker 07 Do you know what melt is?
48:08 Jessie Ware? I do. I got it as a ham. I got it as a hamper from my record label one Christmas and it was very delicious. It's a chocolate brand here. I think it's in like West London, maybe.
48:19 Speaker 07 Yeah, West London. And they have it in Selfridges and stuff like that. I love melt chocolate. Ever since I made a movie here eighteen years ago, I've been obsessed with it.
48:26 Jessie Ware? So you're now gonna get melt chocolate from everybody?
48:29 Speaker 07 People already know that I'm obsessed with choc- I'm obsessed with making chocolate, so.
48:33 Jessie Ware? I have made chocolate brownies, but I don't think you'll have time to eat them, so I'm gonna give you one to take home.
48:38 Speaker 07 Oh, you're so sweet.
48:40 Jessie Ware? But it's made with aubergine.
48:43 Speaker 07 Okay.
48:43 Jessie Ware? Mum's very proud of them.
48:45 Speaker 07 Well, I think that might be interesting. I've never heard of aubergine in a brownie. Isn't it a chocolate cake or a brownie?
48:50 Jessie Ware? It's well, it's quite gooey.
48:52 Speaker 07 Okay.
48:52 Jessie Ware? Well, no, yeah, I guess that's the aubergine. I'm gonna get them out the fridge.
48:57 Speaker 07 But I need to try it.
48:59 Jessie Ware? Okay, go on, try it.
49:00 Speaker 07 I made you go to all this trouble.
49:02 Speaker 06 No, you haven't. It's fine. You tell me what you think of those.
49:05 Speaker 07 What did you have to do to an aubergine to make it into a brownie?
49:07 Speaker 06 Bait the aubergine and then you um.
49:11 Speaker 07 They're all looking at me like.
49:12 Jessie Ware? All right, I'm gonna try it too. Come on.
49:14 Speaker 06 Yeah, that is, they're good.
49:15 Speaker 07 It smells delicious. It's chewy.
49:18 Speaker 06 It's chewy.
49:19 Speaker 07 It has a chewy consistency.
49:22 Speaker 06 Don't tell me that's horrible.
49:25 Jessie Ware? It's not horrible.
49:27 Speaker 06 Can you taste its aubergine?
49:29 Jessie Ware? No.
49:29 Speaker 06 No.
49:29 Jessie Ware? Mm-mm.
49:30 Speaker 06 It just makes it.
49:31 Jessie Ware? Tastes good for you.
49:33 Speaker 06 Oh.
49:33 Jessie Ware? It's.
49:34 Speaker 06 It's masses of chocolate.
49:35 Jessie Ware? It's good.
49:36 Speaker 06 I think it's quite good.
49:37 Jessie Ware? It tastes like
49:40 Jessie Ware? a health food shop.
49:41 Speaker 06 Does it?
49:42 Jessie Ware? For an aubergine brownie, it surprised me. Do you know what I mean?
49:46 Speaker 06 Oh.
49:46 Jessie Ware? That's actually quite delicious, but.
49:48 Speaker 06 Yeah.
49:48 Speaker 07 Do you guys have vegetarian or vegan friends who just try and pitch their foods? Do you do that all the time?
49:52 Speaker 06 I've got a friend who.
49:53 Speaker 07 You're like, I don't think so, honey. Like, I can't. I can't eat a date and you're telling me it tastes like a candy bar. It just doesn't.
50:00 Speaker 06 Jessie tells you.
50:01 Jessie Ware? I, I will.
50:02 Speaker 07 Like an old.
50:04 Speaker 06 Date.
50:04 Jessie Ware? No, but you have, you've tried the date in the freezer with the chocolate and the peanut butter.
50:09 Speaker 07 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm saying it's good.
50:11 Jessie Ware? But it's not, it's not Snickers.
50:13 Speaker 07 It's not five stars.
50:15 Jessie Ware? No.
50:15 Speaker 07 No. But it like, it, it scratches an itch.
50:19 Jessie Ware? Uh huh. Exactly.
50:21 Speaker 07 It's definitely not the, the meal replacement that I thought it was gonna be.
50:23 Speaker 06 I think these are okay.
50:25 Jessie Ware? I think they're very nice, mum, for an aubergine brownie. I'm very impressed and I would.
50:29 Speaker 07 And I love the little toasted almonds.
50:31 Speaker 06 Yeah, and there's chocolate chip on the top.
50:33 Speaker 07 And there's chocolate chip bits.
50:35 Jessie Ware? Please acknowledge the chocolate chip. Please, please, Reece. I couldn't see the chocolate chip.
50:40 Speaker 06 Yeah, well, you can there. The only thing I would say is they were quite gooey when I tried to cut them up.
50:46 Jessie Ware? But they're not anymore.
50:47 Speaker 06 And I had to, Paul Hollywood, put them back in the oven for another ten minutes to try and fill them up.
50:52 Jessie Ware? Make sure they're no soggy pot.
50:53 Speaker 06 Yeah.
50:54 Jessie Ware? Um, Reece, before we let you go.
50:55 Speaker 07 Yes.
50:56 Jessie Ware? Can you give us a nostalgic taste that can transport you back somewhere?
51:02 Speaker 07 Oh, um, banana pudding.
51:06 Jessie Ware? Can you explain what banana pudding is, please?
51:08 Speaker 07 Okay, banana pudding is.
51:10 Speaker 06 Banana pudding.
51:11 Jessie Ware? No, I don't, no, but like Scissor loves banana pudding, I hear.
51:15 Speaker 06 You use that kind of not very authentic, it's not made with cream, you use that kind of mix and add bananas in.
51:23 Speaker 07 Mm hmm. We have this mix, Jell-O mix, and you put, you put cold milk.
51:27 Jessie Ware? Jell-O like jelly, we, not jam, like you, Jell-O is like the wibble wibble wibble wibble.
51:32 Speaker 07 It's not gelatin, it's not gelatin. So pudding is whipped up milk and eggs and it.
51:39 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
51:39 Speaker 07 And then you kind of, I don't really know what you do with it, but it tastes like bananas. And then they put these little vanilla cookies all around it.
51:49 Jessie Ware? That sounds nice.
51:50 Speaker 07 And it's real delicious. And then you put fresh whipped cream on top. And that reminds me of childhood.
51:54 Jessie Ware? So there's no base to the banana pudding?
51:57 Speaker 07 There's milk and eggs.
51:58 Jessie Ware? But there's like, like not a, a cake base?
52:02 Speaker 06 Probably like custard, banana custard, yeah.
52:05 Speaker 07 Oh, well, some people lay the cookies out. So you get a casserole dish and you lay the cookies out and you put the pudding over it and then you put the cookies all around.
52:13 Jessie Ware? That sounds quite nice.
52:14 Speaker 07 And then you crumble the cookies and then you put the whipped cream and then you kind of let it in the fridge to set. But you have to cook the milk and the eggs so it doesn't get.
52:22 Jessie Ware? Okay. And, and does this remind you, and where, where, can you paint the picture of where you were having this banana pudding?
52:28 Speaker 07 Oh, I was at my grandma's house on a Sunday night and we were always there at five o'clock on Sunday afternoons. And it was just, she'd have out her chafing dishes and she did this whole presentation and it was just really nice.
52:42 Jessie Ware? Reece with this group, thank you so much for coming, um, over and, and being a great sport. And yeah.
52:49 Speaker 07 Thank you so much for this.
52:50 Speaker 06 Such a pleasure, such a pleasure.
52:52 Speaker 07 You guys are so fun to talk to.
53:08 Jessie Ware? Reese Witherspoon.
53:09 Speaker 06 She's so gorgeous. She looks just like she did in Legally Blonde. She looks like her.
53:15 Jessie Ware? She's not only gorgeous, she was really lovely and warm and loved you, Mum.
53:22 Speaker 06 Did she do?
53:22 Jessie Ware? Oh my god, she was just, she couldn't stop watching you as you were like shuffling around in the kitchen.
53:27 Speaker 06 I'm not surprised.
53:28 Jessie Ware? No, she knows who her, who her star is in The Nexter.
53:32 Speaker 06 Of course darling.
53:33 Jessie Ware? Yeah, she, she loved you.
53:35 Speaker 06 I loved her.
53:36 Jessie Ware? I loved her too.
53:37 Speaker 06 She's so clever.

55:39 Speaker 03 I'm Jake Stauk, co-founder and CEO of Serval. We built Serval to automate the IT work that slows companies down. Onboarding, password resets, accessed applications, my laptop stopped working. While employees wait for help, their real work is put on hold. IT desperately wants to automate this work, and that's why they need Serval. You just tell Serval what you want to automate in plain English, and it's built. No drag and drop workflows, no expensive consultants. Employees get unblocked and IT teams go from drowning in tickets to building what actually matters. With Serval, IT becomes the AI engine powering the entire company. This is a new way to run IT.
