After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by overpriced wireless providers,
if we've learned anything, it's that there's always a catch. So when I heard that for a
limited time all Mint Mobile wireless plans are $15 a month when you purchase a three-month plan,
I thought, where's the catch? But after talking to them, it all made sense. There isn't one.
Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they sell wireless services online. They don't have retail
stores or salespeople. Instead, they deliver premium phone plans directly to you.
As you guys know, our friend Rick Glassman, he uses Mint Mobile.
I learned about Mint Mobile through George Kimmel.
George is a busy guy.
He takes the most business calls.
And the fact that not a single call is ever dropped.
And you can use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan
and bring your phone number along with all of your existing contacts.
Say goodbye to your overpriced wireless plans. Mint Mobile is here to rescue you with plans
starting at $15 a month. And all plans come with high-speed data and unlimited talk and text
delivered on the nation's largest 5G network. That is such a steal. To get this new customer
offer and your new three-month unlimited wireless plan for just $15 a month, go to mintmobile.com slash Tuesday. That's mintmobile.com slash Tuesday. Cut your wireless bill to $15 a month at mintmobile.com slash Tuesday.
$45 upfront payment required equivalent to $15 a month. New customers on first three month plan only. Speed slower above 40 gigabytes. On unlimited plan, additional taxes, fees and restrictions apply statement mobile for details
hello dr yes i'm a doctor um i noticed that you have a very large hemorrhoid that is inoperable
oh and um you're okay though you're gonna live a normal life span. Really? Yeah. But you're just going to have to deal
with the hemorrhoid because there's nothing we can do. Have you ever seen this before?
No, not until this morning when I noticed.
Are you? Is that like how doctors do things? They just kind of notice?
Is that like how doctors do things?
They just kind of notice?
You guys, I'm so excited to announce that Drugstore June is finally available digitally.

I hope to see you there.

And yep, I'll see you April 26th.
Go get tickets at tigerbellylive.com.
See you there.
My Filipino family was very superstitious
about like if good things happen,
bad things are just around the corner.
Oh, so if you go too crazy,
something worse is going to happen.
Correct.
And which is a really, it's like, it's so untrue. There's nothing right about that. But then
you get traumatized as a kid over and over. And you're not allowed to laugh too hard at things
that are funny. You're not allowed to celebrate winning a gold medal if you are an athlete.
Just nothing. Imagine you with a gold medal.
if you are an athlete.
Just nothing.
Imagine you with a gold medal.
I should show you pictures of when I was in the podium.
Not a lot to smile.
I was just like...
A nervous wreck.
That's so sad.
So sad.
I remember my one year
as a child actor.
I always forget
you were a child actor.
That's fair.
That's really fair.
You should.
I was in like three commercials,
but the agents are like, expect to go on a hundred auditions and get one. That is true.
It's accurate.
Yeah.
I feel like that's such a weird thing to throw onto a kid, that type of rejection that early on.
But it's so good for you.
It probably is.
Because then nothing can hurt you
as in your adulthood. Don't you have that in a way or no? You don't know. You're like the opposite.
Everything hurts me. No, I'm so sensitive. Are you kidding me? No, like all the rejection I've
had, even like emotional rejection from my parents have only made me want it more as an adult,
not for you. I guess. Yeah. It makes me feel like I need it.
Did you ever need to be an actor? I don't see that in you.
Well, it is kind of weird because when I started acting, I was three, so I don't even remember.
So I don't know if I would have wanted to be an actor if I hadn't started so young. But
what got you into your child acting? Was it because you wanted to when you were little? Because I had no attention.
Wait, you asked your parents to be like, hey, can I audition for this? Are you kidding?
Yeah. I mean, she was just thrown into it, right? That's never the story.
Wait, really? Esther, how weird. I thought that was normal. It's like, you're a little kid. You
want people to watch you tap dance. And then finally your mom sees the article in the newspaper that's like agents auditioning children.
And then you get in a commercial for juvenile diabetes. And all your dreams come true. No?
I'm imagining you at the audition with all the other kids not wanting to be there being forced and you're like, no wonder I got it.
No wonder they love me. I was like so excited.
Your mom's all pissed and annoyed and doesn't want to be there.
I can't picture you being reluctant like at auditioning as a kid. I feel like you were just.
I would get really nervous when I was little. Not when I was three, but when I got older,
when I was maybe nine or ten, I got really shy.
But you don't even want it.
Why were you scared?
I was still, I was freaked out.
I would try to peek into the room to see how many people were inside
so I could try to calm down.
Like if there was only two, then it's not scary.
Have they since changed the audition process for kids?
I don't know.
How would we know?
I'm sure now they're like very careful about how the child is sort of like reared in this industry.
But I mean, I imagine back then it was just the same probably as adults, like a cattle call, right?
Anyways, we're not here to talk about my childhood.
I do want to say, though, today's episode it should be titled Miranda
Cosgrove exposed because we're going in on her. I'm gonna expose you. I'm scared. For the weird
weird person that you are and honestly like truly one of my best friends and I definitely must
identify as a child star because I think we're the same person. They get along so well.
Yeah. It's like, oh, I was that delusional. I thought I was a star by Carly, I guess.
Like that's the confidence I must have had for how similar I think we are.
The first thing I want to talk about is obviously the similarity in our dads.
Yes.
Your dad has like no faith in you.
My dad, when it comes to money, he is the most frugal human being you will ever meet.
And he has no faith in me when it comes to money.
He's very worried.
But it's like weird because you're obviously very successful.
And the thing that stands out to me so much is that you went to USC, right?
And when you went to USC, right? And
when you went to USC, were you done with the show? Yeah. So I finished the show and then I went
pretty much immediately. What age were you done with the show? 20. Okay. So at that point, you're
20, you would start on like one of the biggest shows of, you know, a generation, if not the biggest. And look, I'm not saying like you were Tom Cruise
rich. No, I get it. But your dad said that he didn't want you to spend money on parking at USC.
Yes. So you would be late to class because you were circling for parking.
I was late all semester because it's maybe $700 or something like that to get a year
parking pass. That is a lot. And it is a lot. But my dad was like, you know, get up in the morning,
like circle the block. He was like, you don't need that parking pass. And then it became a huge,
like it was a real source of us not getting along because even midway through the year I was
like I could still get one but you have to pay you have to pay the full amount still no yeah and he
was like no he was like you've made it this far he was like you're gonna make it to the end of the
year so I did but I was circling a lot and all the parking people knew me like they they would see me
this is like the saddest story I've ever heard. It's so weird.
Like, you were probably the most famous kid at USC. Like, would you say? I was not allowed to
park. Metered parking. Sometimes I would go to the metered parking and I'd have to come out. During
the class, I'd be like, I have to go to the restroom so I could. This is literally iCarly,
This is literally iCarly, you guys.
This is not okay.
Did you ever get parking tickets?
I did a couple of times get parking tickets.
I didn't tell my dad.
But I feel like that would have like strengthened your case.
That's true.
Just be like, look, I can't find parking.
I get desperate.
And now here's an $80 ticket.
And it's going to accumulate.
And it's going to exceed $700 by the end of the semester i should have made a powerpoint on why why i deserve that's what kids do now they like on
tiktok there's all these kids that make powerpoints for their christmas list i've seen that yours
would have just been a parking space for school to learn after you just worked for 10 years or
whatever 15 years he was really happy though when i made it to the end of the year. He was like, see?
He was like, you made it.
You did it.
Are you low-key kind of proud, though, that you did make it?
Yeah.
Were you good at parallel parking?
I'm not great at parallel parking.
I'm not great at parking in general, but I made it through that year, that semester.
parking in general, but I made it through that year, that semester. What is your dad super frugal about that you remember as a kid being like, okay, like this has got to stop? I mean, obviously the
moment where you're in the movie theater and you click open the can of soda you brought from home
and everyone can hear it like that. I'll never forget. A lot of it is movie related, actually,
like my dad dropping me off in a movie theater with like the bucket of popcorn from yesterday and being like, don't come back dad would embarrass me publicly because he didn't feel like bulbs,
onions or garlic or things that grew under the ground
that we had to pay for any of the bulbs.
So he would go into Vons.
He would buy all of the necessities, let's suppose.
Like he had to buy oil or fruits or produce.
He'd buy that.
But he would always leave with pockets full of onions
and garlic that he would steal.
What?
Because he was like, never pay for bulbs.
Like bulbs are a gift from God.
Do not pay for bulbs.
I mean, I don't know why he thought specifically bulbs, but always big pockets on the way out.
I think it's like an older man generation.
Way of life.
Yeah.
It's a Way of life. Yeah, it's a way of life.
And then it does get
passed down, but also
I spend, I don't know,
I don't think I'm honoring him
that much. Do you
valet? Yeah, I do.
Do you valet, Miranda? I do.
I hope my dad doesn't see this.
He does
never do. I do not want to be seen publicly as a bad influence on you.
You're spending in front of your dad.
I feel like are you valeting because Esther valets?
I'm so scared.
You've both broken the cycle.
Congrats.
Thank you.
No, no, no.
Wait, now also, crazy thing about your life is that you are so famous and so recognizable, but because the people who are
fans of you when they were kids, like sometimes when people recognize you, it's like they tend
to feel like silly and embarrassed and like kind of almost make fun of you. Sometimes. Something
really funny happened the other day in Target. There was a kid in the toy aisle looking at stuff and I was
passing by with a cart. And I guess because iCarly came out on Netflix not that long ago.
Yeah.
Like the original iCarly.
Which by the way, when it came out, it was trending as number one for like weeks.
Yeah. So I guess all these kids started watching it. They never knew it existed.
Uh-oh. You're like, oh no.
But this little boy was maybe seven and he looked up at me and he kept
looking at me and then he was like, you got old. It's so crazy because you actually didn't.
It must be so weird though for him because if he saw me when I was 12 recently. And he's just looking.
Is that something you even like adults, say, for instance, who did watch you when they were younger,
do they sort of sometimes treat you and infantilize you and keep you stuck in that like version they have in their heads?
Maybe a little bit because sometimes people, even kids' parents will still like come up to me and act like I'm a kid sometimes because they watch the show with their kids and they feel like I'm still little like I was on the show maybe.
When you were in college, did you feel like people were kind of like—because I feel like in college kids get shy and weird around a famous person.
Was that awkward for you being the famous kid at your school?
It actually wasn't bad.
It helped me, I think, because I am kind of maybe a more introverted person. So when I was at school, like the first semester at USC, I was just looking for the parking spot most of the time. And I didn't meet anybody or really
make any friends. SC was just driving school for you. A lot of driving. I do have a strange story
about, um, I met these girls at USC the second semester I was there and they were
really cool. And they asked me if I wanted to study with them. And like the whole semester,
they were kind of like the most popular, like the girls that were, and I never went to high school.
So I was like, oh, this is what like being in high school is like, like this is the clique of
cool girls. Like you made it. Right. So when they asked me, I was excited. And then
I went a few times to their dorm and then to study and then something happened and they needed a
place to study. And I said, oh, we can study at my house. So they drove from downtown to where I
live in LA and I had everything all set up and I wanted it to go well. And then you already know this story, but the whole thing with, I had a person come to my
house and try to kill me. I'm sorry, I'm laughing. It's just the way she says it. I don't, I always
say things in the worst way. I'm going to interject because we are going to play a game about this
later. But when I was working with you on iCarly, we kept, I don't think we ever got it to air, but we wanted to do a story about how Miranda delivers the worst news in like the sweetest,
almost funniest, charming way.
And like, she just did it.
She's like, so this guy was trying to kill me.
Like, it's just, and you can't help but laugh, but it's just, I don't know what it is about
you and your personality.
You just deliver everything with a smile. Like you should start a business where you're like, you break up with
people. I go to people's doors and you deliver bad news. Yes. It would feel so comforting.
Anyways, keep going. But so a couple of days before the incident with the guy that came to
my house, I had never met the guy before, but he came to my house and I, this was years ago too, and tried to kill me.
When that happened.
It's so sad because I did read about this and it sounded absolutely terrifying, but I'm so glad you're.
It turned out okay.
It turned out okay.
Yeah.
You got to laugh.
What else can you do?
Honestly, it's so grim.
To cope through life.
I laughed my way through my grandma's funeral.
Like your grandpa.
Oops.
My grandma's still alive. I forgot. Your grandma's still alive. Yeah. So two days before that
happened, I had the study group at my house. And the whole time I was inside trying to get these
girls to think I was cool and like me and want me to be in the group, this guy was actually in my backyard with a gun
pacing back and forth in my backyard the entire time.
Oh my God.
All the girls were there?
Yes, with me and all the girls studying
and me bringing food in and trying to win them over.
Because later when everything happened and the police came,
they checked the security footage.
And so two days before he had
already been there and he was burying things in the backyard didn't you bury like chocolate milk
in your backyard yeah chocolate milk and ropes and horizon you knew oh wow is this bad for
horizon is on top of the game we can't hurt them that's true they're huge. But yeah, so it was just crazy that I found out after the fact.
And then while you were first trying to like have friends, there was a man with a gun in your
backyard. And then the police had to call all of the girls because for a split second, they didn't
because they didn't know who he was. So they were trying to figure out his identity. So they called
all the girls thinking maybe it was one of their ex-boyfriends or somehow related to them. And all of them. Please don't call my friends. Please don't call
my friends. I was. I was like, please just leave them out of this. They don't have to know.
They don't have to be a part of this. This is so grim and funny. Oh my God. How's your
relationship with those girls now? I don't know them anymore they were how do you think they're like we went in our house once and we almost died we're out
okay wait the other thing is neither of us drink yes you're the only person i know besides me i
know i feel like ever like you've never tasted you've never tried, you've never tried, never had one. I've tasted alcohol. Have you? I have like tasted it but spit it out.
Like it's too – I'm scared of it.
I've always said like I like eating too much that I think I would then get like too addicted to alcohol.
But you've tried it and it just didn't do anything to you.
Well, that happened to me with edibles.
Yes.
We went to Vegas to see Lady Gaga perform jazz.
Do jazz.
And we also saw Gwen Stefani, though.
That was so fun.
That was fun.
They were both fun.
And I was like in my heavy weed phase.
And so I'm like, Miranda, just take an edible gummy.
Come on.
And you did.
And much like you told me before.
It does nothing.
It does nothing to you.
It's weird because the first time I ever tried anything, I ate a brownie and I fell asleep for
16 hours. But then ever since, I'm untouchable. It won't do anything to me. I don't know why.
I'm actually surprised knowing you that you didn't get hooked when it let you sleep for
16 hours. That sounds really nice.
It was a really good deep sleep.
What does alcohol do to you then?
With drinking, I've never been like even buzzed.
So it's never really done anything to me.
You really are untouchable.
Well, I haven't done it, so it doesn't.
But with edibles, one of the times I did it, it didn't go well and I haven't done it ever
since. So I have had a bad experience. The very last time was not good. I went back to my parents'
house too when I was, I went to a friend's house and I think I took the wrong, I don't know what
happened, but when I got to my parents' house, I was eating a baguette and I was really stressed.
I was eating a baguette and I was really stressed.
Did they know?
My mom knew something was wrong.
Were they like, were they happy for you that you were like living life?
No, they were extremely concerned and then I never did it again.
So you're like living the full sober lifestyle. Like you don't, there's no, but you do love candy.
I love candy. That's it. it okay another like Miranda exposed list I'll go to her house and like we'll hike
and then we'll come back to her house and there's just like a bag of fun size candy and she's just
like oh it's like post hike and just like eating mini twits and stickers I I'm like, I love candy, but like after a hike,
that's how you replenish?
It just doesn't seem smart.
What are your top five, both of you?
Candies.
Bunch O' Crunch.
Okay, great choice.
What?
I love Bunch O' Crunch.
You don't like them?
That's like you just don't really hear that one.
It's my favorite one.
Cookie Dough Bites.
These are all ones that you only get at the movie theater.
Yeah.
This is weird.
Minnie Hershey's. Gummy Bears that are
finally in.
What? The finished?
Gummy Bears. The sour ones that have the
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sour gummies.
Is that five? I'm not going to move.
And the fifth is
hmm. Oh, I like Nerds a lot. No, you need another one. And the fifth is, hmm.
Oh, I like Nerds a lot.
I know they're old, but they're really good.
They're having a resurgence.
The clusters.
I feel like I lost a taste for Nerds after 12.
Yeah, I do too.
This is weird.
Maybe it's the one thing I have since I don't drink.
I still have the taste buds for Nerds.
I would say like Twix.
What?
Interesting.
Is your number one Twix?
Kind of.
Yeah, actually.
I would have never pegged you for a Twix girl.
The caramel, the crunch, 100 grand.
What?
What's 100 grand?
What?
I don't know what that is.
What is going on with you we have nothing in common
anymore it's like crunchy with caramel do you guys not like caramel what is going on i do like
caramel do you caramel yeah i can't even say it anymore i say caramel oh no 100 grand feels yeah
feels what you're sounding like a really like old dad no old dad would be like babe ruth oh love babe
ruth see that's crazy sour patch watermelon okay yeah come on you forgot to mention i love sour
yeah sour patch watermelon or sour patch regular khalilah what about i don't picture you eating
candy ever you were my obsession i don't think either of you maybe have tried this,
but it's a Hawaiian candy called Noms.
And they're very sour.
They come with the belts, the gummies,
and I got to bring you guys a big box of it.
It is the best, most addicting thing ever.
And I cannot live without them now.
I do love a sour, sweet situation.
So sour.
Lemony. It's a combination. It has it all
and it has the nerds flavor. It has a nerds little bundle too. It has dino eggs. They have it all.
They're called noms. I have a weird question. Like because you were working your childhood in
like teen years, is there anything from normal kid growing up life that you're like, oh, I wonder what that would have been like or that you missed out?
I never went to prom.
That's right, because you didn't go to high school, right?
Yeah, so I missed prom.
I'm trying to think of anything else.
I clogged the toilet at my prom.
You did?
It's not all that.
It's cracked up to me.
Did anyone know it was you or no?
No.
Well, my date did.
Why did you have to tell him?
I told him. Why? Just because because I just can't really keep things
you were that close yeah but prom like did you go to prom I went to prom yeah I don't um so prom was
in Blair High School I went to what was considered a reject school and um it was fun. I think it was maybe not the American education that I thought I would be
getting, but it was an education of sorts because I grew up in the Philippines and I came here in
high school. But prom was just really, really fun. It was super ratchet. I think our chaperones were
probably drunk and it was just a really fun time. It wasn't proper. I didn't clog any toilets.
I went home with my hot older boyfriend and no one said anything.
I'm here to tell you, don't listen to her. Prom was not fun. You did not miss anything.
School dances were so awkward. And like, I don't know.
Really. Ours, we had LASA, which was like a Latin American student association night.
And it was just a night of all just Spanish music and a lot of like people just going,
like just dancing and having such a great time.
I think maybe different schools, different vibes, but it was really fun for me.
Do you guys remember what you wore?
But it was really fun for me.
Do you guys remember what you wore?
Yes.
It was a very like mid 2000s, like strapless dress with like extra fabric and then like an uneven.
Remember the dresses were like.
Yes.
Asymmetrical line.
Yes.
Which those are back now.
They are.
And I hate that they're back.
I don't think they did anything for the kneecaps.
What do you mean?
It was always some weird.
I don't I don't know.
But my hit the knees at a funny spot or something?
Yeah.
My dress was based on Halle Berry's purple cowl neck dress.
I had a very tight budget and I went to a really cheap seamstress and I was like, can you make this dress?
She's like, can't double line it.
I was like, whatever you have to do, just make it, give me the silhouette.
And it was really pretty and it was backless and it was a cowl neck and it looked exactly the same. It was a replica.
And I was so in love with it. That is a dream to have like a movie star replica dress.
Are there any events that you attended or got to go to that felt like, oh my God,
this is such a big deal. This is like prom instead. they have a homeschooling prom. No. They do?
They do.
I never went.
But they try to get you.
They work really hard to try to get you every year to come because not a lot of people go
because you don't know the other people.
Right.
So it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.
You'd just be meeting people for the first time.
Yeah.
Is it anyone from homeschooling or is it like a specific? It's a specific homeschooling
program, but I think a lot of the homeschooling programs do that. But also the homeschooling
program I was with in high school, they would have me come in twice a year to do a PE test.
And it was the only time I saw the other kids that were part of the homeschooling program.
Was it ever other actors? Well, usually, but it was weird because with mine, most of the people were trying to be in the Olympics. So when I did the PE test,
I had to do it against all these Olympian hopefuls. It was so crazy looking back.
And I'm super not coordinated in any way too. Did you fail gym? I mean, I passed,
but they were all incredible. Yeah. You felt like you walked out feeling like you failed gym.
Yeah. That's such a weird thing to require twice a year. Like what do they make you do? Just like
sit-ups? Sit-ups. I had to run
around the track. It wasn't even a track. I think it was a parking lot outside of the homeschooling
office. When I had mono and I got to be homeschooled. What a cool girl disease to have.
Was it high school? No, it was eighth grade actually. Did you brag about it? I know you
bragged about it. I was proud. I was proud to have mono. Do you know how you got it? No, I was eighth grade, actually. Did you brag about it? I know you bragged about it. I was proud.
I was proud to have mono.
Do you know how you got it?
No, I don't.
I do know how I gave it to another girl, but I don't know how I got it.
How did you give it to another girl? We were sharing a Burger King Icy and like she got it like a week after me.
And I was like, I'm that.
That's mono?
Yeah, I felt really bad.
But like, I hope it's mono.
Can someone test me for mono please
please give me mono and you know I milked it when I had mono I was like I just can't go back to
school it's gonna be a long time you guys it really was a cool girl thing to have though
because all the girls with big boobs had mono and they would always walk in like guys you know like
I'm gonna miss a couple days it's mono and And they always like it was always a big titty girl.
Oh, I missed like six months for mono.
I had a private tutor like that was like paid for by the state because that's just going to say it wasn't your dad.
Horrified.
No, of course it was not paid for by my family.
And I oh, I loved it. Also, it was like the first, one of the rare times where an adult was like having one-on-one
time with me and listening to me speak.
So I was so addicted to my tutor.
And homeschooling, in my experience, was an absolute joke.
Like she would, I didn't know the answer to the test.
They didn't care.
They're like, here they are.
Like, was it like that for you?
Did you actually learn?
Well, since I never 100% did homeschooling, I had to do it on set.
Yeah, tutoring.
But it was still the same.
And I had a tutor for a few years, the same one, the same set teacher.
And he would make me raise my hand, even though I was the only person in the room.
They got to teach you that skill.
He'd be like, uh-uh, uh-uh.
Like, I'm going to answer. And then I'd have to be like,
why do I picture you with like a shock collar? And he buzzes you if you don't raise your hand.
You're like, uh, no, no, no. But yeah, it was a strange experience, kind of. But you were on set
with a bunch of other kids. Were you learning with them or no? Well, when I had the raising hand thing, it was during a show called Drake and Josh before
the one where I was with kids. So I was by myself during that one. Because you were the only kid on
that. Yeah. By the time you got to college, were you really excited to raise your hand
and ask a real question? You guys might not think I know how, but I do.
Oh, yeah.
I know all about it.
I'm just like you guys.
I'm a normal girl.
Want to come to my house?
Do a study group.
After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by overpriced wireless providers,
if we've learned
anything, it's that there's always a catch. So when I heard that for a limited time, all Mint
Mobile wireless plans are $15 a month when you purchase a three-month plan, I thought, where's
the catch? But after talking to them, it all made sense. There isn't one. Mint Mobile's secret sauce
is that they sell wireless services online. They don't have retail stores or salespeople. Instead,
they deliver premium phone plans directly to you. As you guys know, our friend Rick Glassman,
he uses Mint Mobile. I learned about Mint Mobile through George Kimmel. George is a busy guy. He
takes the most business calls and the fact that not a single call is ever dropped. And you can
use your own phone with any Mint Mobile plan and bring your phone number along with all of your
existing contacts. Say goodbye to your
overpriced wireless plans. Mint Mobile is here to rescue you with plans starting at 15 bucks a month
and all plans come with high speed data and unlimited talk and text delivered on the nation's
largest 5G network. That is such a steal. To get this new customer offer and your new three month
unlimited wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month, go to mobile.com slash tuesday that's mint mobile.com
slash tuesday cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mint mobile.com slash tuesday 45 up front
payment required equivalent to 15 a month new customers on first three month plan only speed

It's finally happened.
We finally broke through to our favorite brand on this planet, Skims.
They finally noticed us.
I feel like we've only been manifesting this for the past three years.
So when we finally got the call, I cannot explain to you guys the squeal in the room.
Well, it's just like there's literally no one more physically qualified to talk about
scams because I have been wearing their Fits Everybody thong underwear.
Since I tried it, I threw away all my other underwear and bought only this underwear.
And it's the Fits Everybody collection.
And it's their thong.
And I buy both options because they have a dipped thong.
I think this is exactly what Skims nailed.
It is, you know, I'm a comfort queen.
I will not give up comfort just to look cute.
And I don't have to do that with Skims.
The Fits Everybody collection is so brainless for me because the moment I put it on, I'm both comfortable and I look hot.
The triangle bra, it is so sexual. There's the crossover, which I like for the crossover
triangle, which is a little more like comfy. But if you just go for the straight triangle,
you get the cleavage, you get the comfort. Like you just walk past your man in that bra.
And even if you don't have a cleavage, for someone like me who is rocking an A-cup,
it gives you that extra boost of like, hey, they are there after all.
The Fits Everybody collection is available in sizes extra, extra small to 4X.

Quince, where I buy all my cashmere. I've got a cashmere baby blanket from them. I've got

some would argue. They have 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50, organic cotton sweaters,
washable silk tops, and timeless 14-karat gold jewelry. You guys, I mean, we know that cashmere
is historically a pricey thing to buy. And the fact that Quince now offers affordable luxury makes me so happy.
And they do this because they partner directly with top factories and they're able to cut the cost of the middleman and pass the savings on to us instead.

Miranda, how many times have you been asked if you're Filipino?
Oh my gosh, I've been asked so many times.
Wait, really?
We really wanted to claim you so badly.
I wish I was Filipino. It would actually be awesome.
Are you definitely not Asian?
Well, I did 23andMe, and I found out that I am.
I can't remember the exact percentage, but I'm Mexican, and I didn't know.
From your mom?
Yeah, from my mom's side.
I actually just got 23andMe from my mom and dad, and they sent it in.
You know how it makes yours even more accurate?
Yeah.
And I get to find out what they are too. So I'm excited. But yeah,
that was one that surprised me and I'm Indian a little bit, which surprised me.
Oh, whoa. This explains the very dark hair. Cause it's unusual to just kind of be like a
plain white person with that dark hair. Yeah. I'm so jealous of your dark hair.
I'm so jealous of your Asian or Mexican. Yeah. But to, you know, on behalf of the Filipinos, we really wanted you so badly.
I remember Googling your ethnicity
and trying to verify.
And I'm like, no, people have this wrong.
She's one of us.
She has to be one of us
because you sing, you dance.
And I was like, wait, no, she has,
it's impossible that she's not Filipino.
And you just generally look like you could be.
And it broke my heart to find out that you weren't.
A little Jewish too.
Yes, I am.
All right, Esther, now you're bragging.
I was a lot Jewish when I got the 23 and me.
Wait, how much?
I think it was like 30 something.
Wow.
I have so many things that I didn't know I was.
It was really fun.
Oh my gosh, thanks.
Thank you.
Oh yeah.
Thank you.
Congrats, you got a banana.
I didn't know you guys had banana breaks. Is this something you always do? Yeah. How did you guys meet?
We met at Whitney's house in the pandemic. Yeah. And I don't know, we just started talking
and it was just like, oh, I think I was just so shocked at how funny Miranda is and like self-deprecating and self-aware because you meet
people who are famous and you just think like you think the worst honestly like you assume the worst
and she's like the opposite of whatever like bad assumption you could have I feel like it's just
what is like an average day in your life look like? If you had to like paint the picture of
the celebrity Miranda Cosgrove, what like, just spell the myths out there. Like what's your
average day? So my parents live in Downey, which is the home that they still live in the same house
that I grew up in, which you know. Yes. And they have a garage.
And I spend a lot of time in the garage because that's where I do a lot of this animal saving
work. Yes. So on a normal day, I'll do stuff like usually with animals. I have a few foster cats
right now. And then I kind of spend a lot of my time commuting from their house to L.A. because my place is in L.A.
So I'll hang out with, like, friends in L.A. and do stuff in L.A.
And then I go back to my place.
Yeah, she'll, like, pretend that she's a normal girl.
She'll be like, come to my house.
And it's like a normal girl's house in L.A.
But then when everyone leaves, she also leaves.
Exactly.
She's like, I got to go back to the garage where she spends most of her
time this is all 100 accurate and you stay up like all night yes I also am a total insomniac
and I stay up really late doing I call it cat work much like freeway work and I do cat work
I hang out with um all the foster cats I take like videos and I make adoption videos and I do cat work. I hang out with all the foster cats. I take like videos and I make adoption
videos and I'm just obsessed with animals. Like I've loved animals ever since I was really little.
So even though it sounds very sad, it's low key my dream. Yeah. Would you have been a veterinarian
maybe? Maybe. I mean, that would have been kind of awesome. When I was little, I did always say
vet when people asked. But yeah, I don't know. I've just always, I mean, I would have been kind of awesome. When I was little, I did always say vet when people asked.
But yeah, I don't know.
I've just always, I mean, I guess a lot of people love animals, but I've always loved animals.
No, but you like, you take it too far.
I do take it too far.
Okay, let's play this game.
So as I mentioned earlier, it was my dream to like put you in a scenario where you have to deliver really bad news to people.
I still think you could have a thriving career on Cameo
when you're ready. Just for funerals? Yeah. Like just to just, just deliver the, any kind of bad
news. So we made some prompts and we want you to, maybe Kalilah, you can pick them and read them to
her. And then we want to improvise a scene where you have to give me some bad news. Okay. Let's start with this one. So Miranda,
you have to break up with Esther because you don't think she smells very nice. She's refused
to wear deodorant and only uses non, what do you call it? Fluoridated toothpaste.
And it's turned you off forever. You've tried to coax her into this life of hygiene.
But she's like, no, I'm standing my ground.
I'm getting ready.
The proper stance.
I've waited all my life for this.
I'm just kidding.
Okay.
Esther.
Hi.
How are you?
It's so good to see you.
It's so good to see you too.
I'm really looking forward to our night ahead of us.
So.
What's so funny?
I just, I've been meaning, I've been wanting to talk to you about something.
And I don't want to freak you out.
It's nothing major. Okay. But sometimes, like once in a while, you don't like smell perfect.
So, and I know I brought up to you several times. Right. If you could maybe wear deodorant.
Yeah. It's not natural, like real, like heavy duty deodorant.
Yeah, that's hard for me.
And you don't want to.
So I was thinking maybe we're going to need to like go our separate ways.
Okay.
You seem really happy about it.
I don't think the cameo career would pan out.
I'm glad we tried this.
Okay, here we go.
Okay.
Esther is getting fired.
Yes.
Okay, Miranda, you have to fire Esther
because she just lost your company $100,000.
Yes.
In three months because you found out she's embezzling.
Yeah, this is a good one.
Okay.
I'm like doing it again. But you also just really like her as a person. You guys go hang in Vegas and watch Gaga do jazz. Okay. We've seen Gaga do jazz together. So we're very close. As close as two can be, honestly. Okay. Esther. Yeah. I know you've been working here a while now. I love your company. I know you do. I love
your candle store. Thank you. But you know, I built this candle store from the ground up
and it means a lot to me. As you just said, it means a lot to you. And it's come to my attention
you and you um it's come to my attention recently that you have been embezzling money oh and it's okay you don't have to you don't have to deny or like don't I don't want to get into any like legal
you don't want to get in the weeds of it no No, no. Thank you. Okay. But I'm going to have to
let you go, but I still really love to be friends.
It's okay that you embezzled my company. I just, I feel like we have a connection as friends. Okay,
cool. And we could still go to Vegas together. We could still make it work. Yeah. Even though I owe you $100,000. Exactly. Okay. I have one more. Okay. Okay, Miranda, you have
information that Esther has a non-life-threatening but very large grapefruit-sized hemorrhoid.
Oh, no. I'm the doctor in this scenario.
And it's inoperable.
It's inoperable because it's gonna,
there's no hemorrhoidectomy available.
She's just gonna have to have this extra little
like lump hanging out of her asshole.
Oh, Kalilah.
Is this even part of the
epigonopsis?
This is her creativity at play.
Okay, okay. Esther?
Hello, Dr. Cosgrove.
Yes, I'm a doctor.
I noticed that you have a very large hemorrhoid that is inoperable.
Oh.
And you're okay, though. You're going to live a normal
life span. Really? Yeah. But you're just going to have to deal with the hemorrhoid because there's
nothing we can do. There's nothing you guys can do? No. There's nothing we can do.
Have you ever seen this before? No. Not until this morning when I noticed. Is that like how doctors do things?
They just kind of notice? Yeah. That's what they do. That's what they teach you in medical school?
You seem really young to be a doctor. I'm not. I'm in my 30s. Okay. You're taking this really
well. Thank you. Thank you for the compliment. And if you want to be friends. Yeah, I'm in my 30s okay you're taking this really well thank you
thank you for the compliment
and if you want to be friends
yeah we could still be friends
even though
yeah we could still be friends
even though
I guess if my doctor
will be my friend
then it's a win
overall
even though the hemorrhoid hurts
that really is a gift Miranda
thank you
you really do know how to
soften the blow
truly truly yeah very realistic it just feels Amanda. Thank you. You really do know how to soften the blow.
Truly.
Truly. Yeah.
It just feels, yeah, it feels so nice and warm and cozy.
It has the idea of like
just being friends no matter what the situation is.
Yeah, like no matter what the problem is, you
embezzle the hemorrhoids. We are still
like this. I will not let you
down. I will not let you go.
Out of my life. So we have this list
here that I think we'll all sort of bomb and fail at, but it's a list of micro habits that women do
to increase their feminine energy. Is this supposed to attract men? Yeah. All kinds or
men specifically looking for that very feminine type?
I don't know.
I think she says all kinds.
Oh, okay.
All kinds, okay.
Cross the board.
No offense to anyone in the room, but I just don't think any of us will have any of these.
I don't think so either.
I'm going to bomb this, I know.
Do we move our hips when we walk?
I mean, in what direction?
First of all, you have to move your hips when you walk. You can't walk. Not in my everyday life ever. But if maybe I'm first
seeing someone, I might put on a little bit more than usual because I'm real tomboyish.
So it's not something that I don't walk around, you know, get up and start sashaying.
Miranda?
No, I don't move my hips when I walk.
I don't think. What about this one?
I definitely do.
Let others help.
I guess that's feminine.
Yes, I do.
Oh, because you're allowing somebody to swoop in.
Yeah.
You're the damsel in distress.
Yeah, I let others help, I think.
What's micro dress-up?
Yeah.
So getting ready in less than five minutes, putting on a cute outfit and mascara.
For who and for where?
For anything?
For a dude, like just kind of looking effortlessly to them.
I take hours to get ready.
I don't have that one.
What's small moments of pleasure doing things simply because you like it?
Because I do that.
Like, would hiking count?
I don't know.
Anything that you do that's more for you.
Utilize a second brain, an organized system to put all mental things.
Minimize how long you're stuck in your head remembering things to get into soft mode.
What the fuck is soft mode what is soft mode
soft soft energy yeah yeah like feeling so like you're not like putting your like neuro
anxiety forward and you're kind of wait this actually might sort of be explaining a concept
that i actually love which is like okay i feel like my I've recently come to realize that one of my life goals has always been
completely not use my own brain and to just like go into soft mode and like have someone else do
all the thinking and all the decision making. That's what feminine women want. They just like
want a man to lead. But that only happens for me when someone is already in the position of like earning my trust that they, that I can shut my brain off.
Yeah, no, it's impossible to find.
Yeah, I think that it's not.
It's not ever happening. the guy that I'm with now where it's like, oh, I can actually just shut my brain off and know that
my house isn't going to, you know, burn down to ashes, that the kitchen isn't like I, I just,
there's an inherent trust there that he will take care of things. And maybe that's what it means,
but I don't think I can naturally go into my second brain without having already someone in
the room that I can trust. Yeah. you need someone else to like take over,
which I don't feel like that's not really applicable to me and Dave.
I can't go into soft mode with him.
I don't, it doesn't, and I also think I'm the problem.
It's like, I think I want this.
And then I'm too controlling.
Like the second, it's like that time where he was like,
tried to make me eat octopus in Vegas and I started crying.
It's like, I don't want soft mode.
I just think I do.
Wait, Esther, can I propose a different way to eat octopus versus how it was presented to you?
Do you eat octopus?
Actually, yeah, I've had octopus before, but it's not a, I don't have it a lot.
Okay.
It's not a, did you try it?
The texture, I spit it right out.
It was so scary to me.
But like – yeah.
Yeah.
Grilled with butter, with lemon, with just – there's a very different way that I think it can be presented versus on top of like in sushi, say, for instance.
I'm just so sick of you people that like think butter will solve everything. It does though, but it does.
It does, but it's mental.
I don't like the tentacles.
No one's trying to eat testicles, Shala.
It's octopus.
I meant to say tentacles.
Do you ever desire
to have no brain?
It sounds nice.
It doesn't sound bad. who's gonna do all the
cat work if you turn yours off or the freeway work yeah that's what i'm yeah when you go out
with dave do you and you're picking where to go for dinner do you guys like take turns or do you
usually i think that so this is it's actually like such a difficult thing to manage, which I know that sounds crazy, but I feel like people kind of get it, that we've had to come up with so many different devices and games to like get us through this.
It's one of the hardest things in the entire world.
Yeah.
And I – like so there's one game we play called Percentages.
Oh, that's right.
That's a great one.
What is that?
It's so good. Okay, so what you do is you each decide, like, let's say the topic is, my favorite time we've
done this is it was like Thanksgiving.
We just got back from his friend's house and we're like, we have nothing to do all Thanksgiving
weekend.
Should we go to Vegas tonight?
And then we're like, we'll do percentages.
And so then each person will say what percent they want to go, knowing that if the percent total is 100 or over, you have to do it.
Okay.
So it's like you could say zero.
You could say 100.
You could say 50, you know.
Then you go one, two, three, percentage.
You say your percentage.
And like that night, we got over 100 and we did it.
And then the other device, which this one I did not make up, like if we were deciding where to go, I would have to name three restaurants.
Then from my three, you pick two and then I pick one. Oh, so you get it down to the right one.
But I feel like you are someone, one of the rare people in my life that I'll go wherever you say
to go because you like have good food taste. Just for the sushi. Yeah. Yeah. Like or burgers too
though. Burgers never say die. I know. Oh, that's a great spot.
The Smash Burger place?
Yeah.
There's a new one in sort of in the Valley, like Studio City.
It's called Easy Street.
Oh, okay.
There was one that I passed the other day on Ventura that's brand new.
Yes.
I don't even know if it's open yet.
Is that what it is?
You're talking about the one where Mr. O's was?
Yes, I am.
Yeah, it's not open.
I just saw it today.
Yeah, it's gone.
Mr. O's is gone. Mr. O's is good. They tried am. Yeah, it's not open. I just saw it today. Yeah, it's gone. Mr. O's is gone.
Mr. O's is good.
Yeah, they tried saving it over the pandemic a lot.
And it just, unfortunately.
I know.
I used to go there all the time.
What was it?
I don't know it.
It was cool.
Like American food, I guess.
Yeah, but the interior was really nice.
And it was like very like cocktail heavy.
Like there was like really great cocktails on the menu.
Right.
And like good, just soul food.
Yeah, it was good.
I liked it.
Do you ever in your daily life
get hit on um in my daily life like have you ever been hit on I have like I I don't think if I've
ever been hit on um in real life like not on a dating app just like even even even cat called
cat called I was friends with this girl in high school that used to always tell me that she'd get like all done up and she'd walk to school.
And she said she always knew how good she looked by the amount of people that cat called her like honks.
Honked.
Honking is so degrading.
It's the worst.
I don't know if I've ever been cat called.
I'm trying to think if anyone's ever hit on me in real life
maybe
like are any guys ever like
there's Miranda Cosgrove
I'm gonna shoot my shot
like sometimes people will come up and talk to me
but it's never
you know
I never feel like they're straight up
you never think they want more
I never think they want more
they just want that one moment
and that's it
they're done they're out forever that one moment. And that's it. And they're done.
They're out forever.
That's sort of how Raya works.
It's like in Raya, you just match and you never speak.
No one opens conversation.
No, it's just, and it really, I think everyone on there is just there for like the immediate dopamine hit of matching.
And then you let it go and you
let it expire and then it dies is that your experience pretty much exactly that
isn't it so weird it is kind of strange it's like a game or something it is just a game because then
you get the reward of being like oh they said yes to me and that's enough somehow yeah but then it's
like you never even get to know the person
or hang out with them or meet up.
Unless they're really kind of like old,
then they open with some like really like boomery
kind of long message.
And they're almost like very aggressive
and they want to go out tonight.
And if you don't go, then they say something mean to you.
It's true.
They follow up with a rude message.
Are you guys the same guys?
Maybe.
Sounds like one guy with his very specific pattern.
Leanna, do you have a type that you typically go for?
Like personality, looks, whatever.
Kind of.
I always go for super nerdy usually curly hair
tall really skinny do you stay away from um people in your industry or um no not really it's really
whoever she looks around the room she's surveying
this is a question for both of you
because I'm also
on dating apps
do you start
conversations or never
I never do
yeah
I never open
it's just like my rule
and I don't feel
comfortable
it's never
I don't
maybe in real life
it'd be a little different
but no not on apps
no way
do you
the one or two times
I've started the conversation
it didn't go
so I don't I backed off of I feel like they can feel that you are too like excited or
something.
I don't know.
Is that the edible story?
I do hate that though.
Cause it like, I get it.
It kind of has to be that way, but I hate how there's so much power taken out of like
the woman's hands because we have to
wait for the cup but yeah in person like I definitely was the one that like pursued Dave
when I saw him I think in person it's a little it's very different in person because in person
it just feels like a conversation and there really is not I'm not like putting my intention out there
it's just like oh hey what's up but on the apps it just feels forward yeah it feels a little bit too like i'm
too thirsty especially if you just match that day you usually wait till like the ninth day before
they expire because you have 10 days to start a conversation or that person is gone from your list
there's so many roles yeah i maybe i'm doing it wrong. I initiate all the time. I do. I'm like, does it go well? Do you end up meeting the people?
Some time. Well, no, it hasn't gone well in the longterm, but it definitely like I've met people
on Raya, which I feel like is a good, people have not done that on Raya. Um, but a lot of time I
get ghosted, which is not helping my self-esteem in any way, shape, or form. Okay, but did you guys see this big article that lists like big lawsuit news story from a couple weeks ago where the – I think it's like Match is the parent group that owns like Tinder and Hinge, maybe whatever, that someone is like trying to do a big lawsuit against them because the dating apps have been proven that like they don't want
you to meet someone. It's just like a game. Like you guys are saying, it's about like getting that
dopamine hit of the swipe. And then some people are like, well, that's duh. Like it's a for profit
business. Like they want you to stay on the app. Yeah, that's true. But you can't really sue for
that. I don't know.
So it's designed to keep you on there to play the game rather than actually find somebody.
Yeah.
Does that like freak you guys out at all?
I don't know.
I don't think that's with Hinge.
Like Hinge, their motto is we want the app to be deleted.
And whether that's marketing bullshit.
But I always feel like there's always cocking on Hinge people feel comfortable on hinge I don't know that's my experience you
guys are like no I don't know were you ever on a dating app no because I met Dave like before they
came out yeah and I remember like I feel like I don't know if we ever had that conversation but
I remember just thinking like whoa that's crazy like I would be so curious what that's like but also I forgot this is like very triggering
to people you're not if you've never been on a dating app you're not supposed to like publicly
admit it because then everyone hates you really yeah I had never been and I thought I romanticized
it I was like this seems awesome and it's true hell um so people should say that I mean it's true hell. So people should say that. I mean, it's fun for one or two days. And I think everyone starts to sound the same,
look the same. And then you find yourself opening the app for no other reason than sheer boredom
and or something to do. It's like playing Tetris.
But also I do know people that are like, oh, I just got lucky like here in, you know, and they've gotten married off.
Listen, I met Bobby on Tinder and we were together for a decade.
There you go.
My aunt and uncle are married and they have a child and they met on J-Date.
Oh, J-Date.
Yeah.
You need to join J-Date now that your 23andMe results are back.
35% is a lot.
It's enough to get on.
Yeah.
What is, how much do you have,
Jewish do you have to be to get on JDate?
Oh, I don't know.
I'm sure none.
They don't care.
We take everybody.
Isn't there a farmer one for you?
There's a farmer one.
Actually, you're more the farmer one.
Yeah, the farmer one I would definitely get on.
You're waiting for us to invite you on the farmer one.
I'm like, I think that one's better for me
that would be really cute though i think i think maybe if i can envision a dream boy for you
it would be a veterinarian that does not maybe not have like a typical like small animal practice
but like one that does like farm animals, like the bigger, or maybe like
a zoologist. That'd be awesome. My dad, every time I date someone and if they like do me wrong or it
doesn't go well, my dad always says he wasn't an American boy. And I don't, I don't know what that
even means, but I think he visions me with like he he sees me with somebody that like runs a farm.
Like he thinks a man like is outside doing tasks.
Like a American boy.
You know what's so funny, Miranda?
He's just so scared you can't survive.
He's trying to get somebody that has all the survival tools. No, but that's, it's so funny
that you say that. Cause I kind of swung back from nerd after I dated like nerd and dude who
couldn't put like Ikea furniture together. I swung back completely to the American boy,
someone who could fish, hunt, build. And I think because I was in this for so long, I started to really be attracted
to the exact opposite of that. So maybe your dad has a point. Maybe there's something to it.
To the American boy. Those are attractive qualities.
Tom Cosgrove knows that. He always does.
I was just going to say, can you shout your dad out? Because he's been the star of this episode.
He's the star. He's going to totally listen to this too. He's the funniest person.
I love you, dad.
He's amazing.
I'm so grateful for him.
I'll find an American boy someday.
He has made you the most down-to-earth possible
version of a human ever.
He should write a book,
like How to Raise a Child Star.
But keep her down.
Keep her humble. Keep her humble.
Keep her humble, I'll say.
So if you're a nerdy, curly-haired,
skinny, all-American
boy, DM us. I literally, I don't
want to say this out loud, and I want to bleep
it out, but someone is coming to mind.
Really? Someone is
coming to mind. Can we
matchmaker matchmakingmaker it's horrible
oh then no i mean it's not oh then yes i'll say it but bleep it or just yes
i was just thinking that's what you meant interesting but is
an all-american yeah can he build no no but i think I just think maybe. But you're right. He is athletic.
He is.
It's so weird how he's really into nerd stuff.
Look at, he's so ugly.
He's so ugly.
He is not.
He's not ugly, Esther.
Yeah.
You guys are right in the perfect look.
It's perfect.
It's exactly.
We're bleeping out the name.
No, but I,
in that name
that we bleeped out,
I do think there is
something really cool
in that he is really into
like the nerdy stuff,
but is kind of this weird
anomaly of an athlete.
He has American boy potential.
Yeah.
And if he doesn't know
how to build,
I bet you can figure it out.
Yeah. I think Miranda's't know how to build, I bet you can figure it out. Yeah.
I think Miranda's in.
I think we've found
our American boy guys.
I think we can arrange
like a soft tang.
Yeah.
Like a mixer.
Oh, I love a good mixer.
I haven't ever been
to one ever.
We'll do a trash
Tuesday mixer.
We should do a speed dating thing.
We should do a speed dating thing.
But with no other goal than to just have them meet so it's sort of like a fake
speed dating thing like all the other people are just extra they're pregnant with a wig on
dave has a mustache
i love this i want to do it she falls for it completely. We create a whole new relationship, friendship with the new fake me.
I have to keep it up. We hang out. I always wear the wig.
Oh, I'm excited for our new lives together. Well, Miranda, thank you so much for being here and
letting us expose you for all the weird things about you that make you so special.
There's no place I'd rather be exposed.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much, Miranda.
And on behalf of the Asian community, we still claim you.
So just please accept that.
I do.
Unfortunately, the Jews, we've got her.
Yeah.
Based on the DNA. But i am curious to hear what happens
when your parents dna comes back i know that could really up the game change everything huge
game changer and you guys as always thank you for tuning in we love our slugs and we will see you
next week with a brand new episode Thank you.
