MK 493: Peyton List Eats Her Last Meal

I’m Peyton List, and my last meal would be pressed salmon oshi from Miku in Vancouver, Skyline Chili with all of the fixings, carbonara pizza, cannoli from Court Street Pastry in Brooklyn, and a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard from Dairy Queen. Everybody has exactly two things in common, we all gotta eat, and we all gotta die. Today, we’re joined by the star of “School Spirits” on Paramount+, as well as “Cobra Kai”. She was a Disney Channel regular and is the current founder and CEO of Pley Beauty. Peyton List, welcome to the show. Thank you, I’m so impressed. Like, you don’t have a prompter or anything. I’m like… No. Thank you for remembering all that. Just a lot of ADHD going around. Yep. We try and spit that into the camera. I feel that. You’ve also done a lot more than all the things that I read. You’ve been acting since a really young age, and currently, you find yourself playing a dead person on “School Spirits”, eating your last meal. Yeah, so this is very fitting, and the food is going to be a lot better than a school lunch. She’s just stuck with everything in the school. Can I ask, how much do you think about death in general? I don’t know, I think about it a lot, especially while driving in LA. We could just die so easily, and I think I just think about that way too much. Do you find that comforting or not? Because for me, if I’m ever worried about, let’s say, botulism in a can of food or a plane going down, I think about how I’m so much more likely to die in LA freeway traffic. I do find that really comforting, yeah, in a weird way until I’m back in LA traffic. But yeah, most of the time, yeah, when I am on an airplane, I’m like, well, the rate of dying in LA is so much higher than this. All right, Peyton, for the first course, we have the pressed salmon oshi from Miku in Vancouver. Now, we couldn’t actually get ourselves to Vancouver, so we did make it ourselves. We got the sushi rice pressed into a brick with the salmon inside, a thin layer of sashimi salmon on top, bruleed spicy mayo, and then a single slice of serrano. Please enjoy and tell me about this. You shot “School Spirits” in Vancouver, yeah? Yeah, and we would just go to this restaurant all the time, and I would order takeout. For another project I did in Vancouver, I had to quarantine for two weeks in a room, and this was, like, the only thing that brought me any joy. This is very fitting. I love that emotional trauma response bonding to food. Honestly, I think that’s a thing that a lot of people have. Yeah, whenever I’m lonely in a city, I’m like, well, there’s that one dish I really like. I love it, please dig in. I’ve never had, okay, so this is called oshi. This is, like, a pressed sushi? Yeah, a pressed sushi. I honestly, like, I realized how little I knew about the making of it until this show. It’s a trip. Please dig in. I’m obsessed with regional variations of American sushi too, especially growing up in and around Southern California. Yeah. It’s always hard to attack it. A full bite, love it. That’s just a nice treat. Peyton, now, you play a dead person on “School Spirits”. You have to eat the whole thing. You have to eat in one bite, otherwise it’s a disrespect to the chef. It’s weird. It’s not weird. It’s just not necessarily conducive to an internet talk show, but it is great. When I’m alone though, I cut the out of it and just like- Really? Yeah. I cut it into, like, little tiny pieces because I wanna savor every bite. If you divide this up, then you somehow get double the sushi ’cause you’re not just housing it. Mm-hm. I love that. You play a dead high schooler who’s trying to solve her own murder. I’m curious if that affected the way that you think about your own mortality at all. It made me a lot more grateful to be alive because I was like, “Wow, Maddie wants to be alive so badly that she just wants to be back so bad and, like, discover what happened to her.” So I was just very grateful. That makes sense. So in the show, you’re stuck in a sort of limbo, right? You have like a, almost a crisis counselor that is hurting these dead high schoolers whose spirits still remain. That kind of freaked me out because I think the only thing worse than dying is living forever in a way. And you see the character who was obsessed with Jack Kerouac who died in the ’50s who’s been there for 60 years. Like, do you think there’s a sort of existential torture in the idea of living forever? Yeah, I do, especially being trapped in one environment in like a prison environment and not being able to leave. Also trapped in the same body, like, the same, just frozen. I think that sounds like the worst form of torture. You said something else about playing a dead person, that it made you realize that you were living your life, part of you being dead kind of on an autopilot situation, and I think a lot of people can relate with that. I’m curious how you’ve gone about dealing with that. Like, do you feel like you’re not in that anymore? Yeah, I think I got outta that and woke up a bit and am present. I think it just is so much more exhausting to be present and to be really listening to what’s going on in the world. I realized that I was just sort of, yeah, stuck and not, yeah. I wasn’t being present. How do you actively become more present? I don’t know why I’m treating this like a pen that I’m waving around like a doctor writing down. It’s like your wand. I don’t mean to therapize you here, but I’m curious ’cause I’ve felt that way too in my life, that you’re just sort of floating through. Are there any techniques you use to be actively more present in life? Sometimes I’ll just go in the bathroom mirror and be like, just look at myself in the eyes and be like, just have a little conversation. I read a book recently about mirror work, and I liked that. I mean, I only read the first chapter, and then it was too much of a- No, no, no. I do that, and then I say that I read the whole thing too. I’m like, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I know a lot about mirror work now.” The world’s preeminent expert on it. Yeah. When you say be present to things, do you mean being present to the bad things that are happening in the world or being present to the good things that are happening or both? Are they sides of the same coin? I think both, I think both. But not letting the bad consume and giving into all of that. Like, there’s the reality, and then there’s, just with all the news and everything else. Do you think the younger generation is dealing with that doom and gloom a lot more? I think so. I mean, I’ve been hearing a lot about the depression It sucks. rates for young girls, because of social media, are, like, higher than ever. The suicide rates are insane. Yeah. Yeah, it’s intense. They’re gonna be able to trust their gut and themselves more than ever probably. Because they can’t trust the things that they’re consuming as much. Yeah, because even with my grandparents, they get those, like, fake spam calls, and they believe every word of it. Yeah. They’ll call me up and be like, “Your cousin’s in jail, and they need money.” And I’m like, “Grandma, that’s not real. Don’t click anything on Facebook.” That’s crazy. So you’re hopeful for the next generation more so than anything? I think so. I think that’s incredible. Really cool. As somebody who’s had a lot of younger fans, have you seen the way that they sort of changed throughout the years? Because they watch the show too, they just treat me like a friend when they come up. So they let me into their sort of world and their mind, and that’s probably the experience I’m most grateful for, is just being able to hang out with kids and know what’s going on in their head. How plugged in are you, personally, to social media or does somebody else manage that? Like, are you able to step away from your own? I’m pretty plugged in. Hell yeah. Ride the lightning, screw it. Yeah, I guess that’s why I can even understand a little bit into how it feels to get those comments, but I also feel like I’m lucky to be at an age where I kinda know myself more, and that I’m able to remove myself from those comments. Yeah. Because I’ve been doing a TikTok Live with Paramount to promote the show, and I was like, this is so weird to be seeing, like, live. Anyone just has access to you and is able to just say anything, and you have no idea who they are. And I’ve never gone outta my way to comment anything mean on anyone’s, like, I’ll think it, but I won’t comment it. Yeah, of course. So, I just wonder, like, who, what kind of person would do that? If I could figure it out. If you could tell me, why do you do these things? I did not think the conversation was going to go here, if I’m being honest. We don’t know where it goes. We just eat the food. I’m gonna keep eating by the way. This was all about food and sushi. Mm, sushi’s good. Mm-hm. All right, Peyton, for course number two, we got this Cincinnati Skyline Five Way, which is not a euphemism for anything else. This is spaghetti with the Skyline Chili on top. We got the beans, we got the onions, we have just a mountain of shredded mild cheddar cheese, and then of course, we also have Cincinnati’s finest, Skyline hot sauce, some oyster crackers on the side. Did you first eat this, I’m gonna take a wild guess, 2015 you did an appearance at the Cavalcade of Custom Cars in Cincinnati. Is that when you had this? Mm-hm. Let’s go! What the hell? I don’t even remember that. I’m a bit clairvoyant. No, I Googled, “What the hell does Peyton List have to do with Cincinnati, and why is a five way on her meal?” Oh my God, I can’t believe that was even online. Oh my God, how are the custom Cavalcades of Custom Cars? So random. So random. Great, I’m not a car person so I couldn’t tell you. It’s just, they were meetin’ fans next to a Pontiac? Yeah. Yeah, like, at that age, I would just travel around randomly, and my mom went to high school there so she was like, “We would go to Skyline after football games, and you have to go.” What was it about Skyline Chili? This is, like, the most on-brand food for us that has somehow never appeared on the show. I think the cinnamon and chocolate, like, I love anything with chocolate in it that’s like Oh cool. a chicken mole enchilada, something like that’s Nice. also one of my favorite foods, but she said that it was an acquired taste, and she kind of warned me that I wouldn’t like it the first time, but I loved it. It’s a generational thing. I mean, you actually got that in the gene pool, the acquired taste for Skyline Chili. I guess so. Yeah, those are the genes, the American genes. And I would order cans of it. You can order Skyline Chili cans online. I’m not gonna lie, we used the can ’cause we were like, we don’t wanna mess up You did? the original recipe. No, chili was meant to be put in cans. Yeah, that’s why it’s, like, a last meal, and I try not to eat it all the time. It’s a good point. That’s a good point. Please dig in. I wanted to ask you about traveling to random places and eating food while you were filming. How was Great Neck, New York? I remember being there at, like, 16 with my mom and all the cast. I was working on a movie there. Actually, I remember that a lot of the community was Jewish so everyone on a Friday night, I’d be like, “Where is everyone?” It was a ghost town. Shabbat Shalom. Shabbat, yep. But everyone was so nice. I actually, I did like Great Neck. I liked the people there a lot. But yeah, I would just eat at all the places with my mom because everyone was out and able to go drink, and hang out, and be friends, but I was just, like, at this weird age. How were the eggs? The eggs? I have to do this. I have to show you this. This is from the Great Neck Diner, Shut up. where you have a photo up there. Shut up! We’re puttin’ it on the screen. How much did you heart the eggs? Oh, I guess a lot. That is so crazy. I feel like that’s a different person. That is insane, oh my God. How do I not remember? Like, I don’t remember anything. Yeah, but you made an impact on the owner of the Great Neck Diner. Also for context- That’s all a girl can really dream. My fiancee is from Great Neck. No way! Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you shot at Great Neck North, which is the high school she went to. And so, when I brought up the fact that you were going on the show, she was like, “I’m gonna call my brother and see if he can get a photo of the Peyton List thing.” That is so funny. I love her for that. Please dig in, dig in. I’m stopping you from eating. Do you toss this all together, or you’re goin’ straight knife and fork, like, cuttin’ it? Yeah. I don’t know the Cincinnati way. I just, like, go for it normally. I’m going for it. But I definitely want some of these crackers on it. Oh yeah, I’m gonna hot sauce that. Also, I feel like if Cincinnati sees this, you’re gonna get the key to the city, ’cause you’re, to me, the most high-profile Cincinnati Chili fan. I really, really hope so. I would love to go back and just eat Skyline. Like, hang out with people that work at Skyline and just hang out in the back. That’d be fun. If you keep it up, you’re gonna be the mayor of Cincinnati. That’s your fallback plan. That would be amazing. Oh my God. So wait, did your girlfriend, how long did, oh. My bad. How long did she live in Great Neck? Her whole life until college. A small Jewish community. Everyone was so supportive. Like, I remember people would just, like, wait outside of the high school for us. And it felt like we were performing in front of a live audience when we were doing scenes ’cause everyone from Great Neck would just hang out outside of the school. Now that we’re talking about it, like, all the memories are coming back to me. Yeah, it was fun. And this producer on it, he had a farm close by, this French guy, Claude. And he told me that he killed and ate his rabbits, and I cried. Hell yeah. I mean, no, that’s so sad. I don’t why. Yeah. I cried when he told me that. I was like, “How could you raise them, and then eat them? I need, like, a separation from the meat.” And then he brought me a rabbit the next day. What’d you do with it? I kept it. I brought it back on the plane, and I didn’t get like any- Oh, he brought you a live rabbit, not a dead skinned one? No, he brought me a live rabbit. Okay. And I named it Claude after him, and it was in my tiny hotel room. It would everywhere. Like, I didn’t know what to do. Yeah, that’s what rabbits do. Yeah, they , and they breed, and then eventually, they’re eaten by people like me and Claude. Yeah, Claude came back with me on the plane and everything. You’re saving lives out there. Cincinnati and rabbit-kind everywhere has you to thank. This is incredible, by the way. This is so good! I’ve never had Skyline Chili, and I- You’ve never had it? I’ve never had it before. I feel like I know so much about it, and I’ve just never actually eaten a… I could tell you it was invented by a Macedonian immigrant, and it has nothing to do with chili con carne. I can tell you all the facts, and I’ve never experienced it until now. So thank you for this true gift. Oh, I’m so glad. Do you think that it’s an acquired taste, or do you appreciate it immediately? I believe that humankind is genetically predisposed to love every flavor that is inside this. It is only through their own biases that they would turn their nose up at it. Taylor’s laughing ’cause he’s from Pittsburgh, and he gets a lot of crap from being from Pittsburgh. Taylor, it’s not your fault. I wanna ask about you playing a lot of high schoolers, and also, you said that you sort of struggled to compartmentalize what was a character and what was yourself. You told a story about your mom calling you out for speaking to her in the voice of Emma. How have you, like, found yourself while also continuously playing characters through development? You know, people would come up to me, and they would really like the character. And so I’d want to be that character for them. I’m like, I think they like this character more than they like me. Whoa. So, like, maybe I should start acting more like them. Yeah, it’s confusing when you’re, like, 13 years old and finding yourself. It’s odd. I didn’t know how to do my makeup or hair or anything. So I felt like I looked like a different person, you know, when going into it. Yeah. I don’t know. Do you feel like you did judge yourself really hard or you gave yourself a certain amount of grace for not having a traditional childhood? I wanted to get outta school. I was in middle school, and I hated middle school in New York so much that I was like, “Please, God, let me book this movie, so that I can get out of here.” Because everyone grew up over the summer, and I came to school and I was like, “Oh my God, I don’t know what to do here. I need to get out.” Tell me about Disney prom. Yeah, so Disney prom, I think I went to, like, one. Like, a Valentine’s Day dance or something, and it’s just all of us that are on shows that work on wherever we are, just are all invited. And we all work on different sets and like- Did you feel a sense of, like, kinship and community like, “Hey, these are all people who understand my general life and what I’ve dealt with”? Do you have any crazy Disney prom stories? No really crazy ones. Like, nothing that stands out. I feel like I’ve missed a few of them too, not because I didn’t wanna go. Can you just make one up? I wish I could. I’m like, “Yeah, Mickey Mouse was like…” Please, God, do not sue us. We can’t handle another lawsuit. All right, Peyton, for your third course, we have a carbonara pizza. So this is some homemade long-fermented pizza dough. We’ve topped it with a garlic cream sauce with the guanciale in it, topped it with some low-moisture mozzarella, more guanciale, a soft egg, and a lot of Pecorino Romano, and black pepper on it. May I slice you up? Yes, please. Tell me about this pizza. It smells amazing. Tell me about where it comes from. Honestly, my dad just makes a great carbonara pasta, and I just thought it’d be amazing on pizza. I love pizza with egg on it like this. Like, I think that’s my favorite thing. When traveling through Italy, that is the one thing I, like, crave so much. Wow, that looks insane, yeah. The scissors were a last-minute call. I need everybody to know that. I guess I just thought, like, if I was going to die, I would definitely… Like, look, that looks amazing! This does look incredible. Wait, so is this actually a dish you’ve ever eaten before? Yeah, yeah. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. I thought this was just like, “Yeah, I wanna try an original. I wanna put you to the stress test”. No, no. I have tried this before. I’m going to this. If you want seconds, I can cut you another slice. It’s just gonna take me 20 minutes ’cause I don’t know how to use scissors. No, that’s better than what I could do. Cheers. Oh my God. I could wait all day. Oh, sorry. I was so into it. Thank you for this gift. This is amazing. Mm-hm. We never would’ve made this without you. Can we, like, name this pizza after you? Oh my God, please. This is my favorite thing. The way they named the eggs after you at the Great Neck Diner. I don’t think they did. Oh, unless they did. That’d be hilarious. You can get, like, the Peyton List omelet. That would be great. Yeah, I feel like, where is it? There’s really fancy places here that name their pasta after, like, Gigi Hadid. But mine is, like, the Great Neck Diner eggs. Just a plate of plain scrambled eggs. Eggs are just, like, not a hot food. It’s like… Eggs are the hottest food, what are you talking about? Hold on, no, no, no. Give yourself some credit. As a tastemaker, you know, you own your own damn beauty brand. You can make eggs sexy again. Oh my God! Talking about losing yourself in roles a little bit, I wanna ask you, what do you think constitutes the idea of self? Say you body swapped with Jamie Lee Curtis, just the most famous body swapper of her era. She did a great job. Right. Where is the real you? Is it residing in your body now or in her body? In her body. So you believe that, like, the mind, not necessarily the brain, ’cause your brains are now switched, but the mind is what constitutes the self? Mm-hm. But if somebody, say, wanted vengeance on Jamie Lee Curtis, do you think that they would feel better, even if they knew about the body swap, getting vengeance upon her body or your body despite the fact that your brains are swapped? It depends where they’re at, what they think about the self. Because I think that I’m in Jamie Lee Curtis, so I would probably mess up Jamie Lee Curtis. But imagine you, flip yourself, what if you were that guy, and you knew that, say, somebody killed your pet bunny rabbit, right? And they had body swapped. Would you feel better getting vengeance upon the physical body of a person or knowing that their mind is in somebody else? I mean, if you’re just trying to hurt them, then messing up their physical body ’cause then it’s like, “Ha ha, now you can’t get back to yourself.” Or, like, your vehicle that you’ve been in since you were born. Like, now your vehicle’s messed up. If there’s a person you could body swap with, who would it be? Why did The Rock come to my mind immediately? I just wanna know so much about him. No, that’s a great answer. He just seems like a politician almost, like the way he’s so put together, and I wanna know how he does all that he does. Like, he does so many movies in year. How does time work for him? I thought you were just gonna say you wanna see what it’s like to squat 600 pounds, ’cause I do too. No. No. I’m good on that. I’m curious about the way you deal with grief because in “School Spirits”, grief is a big theme. The grief over lost love, the grief over lost potential, the grief over loss of a friend. How have you dealt with grief in your own life? Someone kinda described it to me well, ’cause I’ve lost someone really close to me in high school. And they were just saying, like, a lot of high schoolers make it a really selfish thing. Like, it becomes a lot about them and them finding themselves. So I was glad he said that to me so that I didn’t make it about me and just made it completely about that person and everything else. I guess with grief, I just wanna make sure I connect with the people that were most around that person that was just lost and just kind of, like, build community more. Community just becomes so important. Talking about building community through grief, I know you’re on the board of The Cameron Boyce Foundation, trying to cure epilepsy, and you had a really touching tribute to him, and it was very much the opposite of being selfish about that. I’m curious about the way that you view, like, legacy in death. I’m glad that the sort of attention is going towards research, and his family is such a beautiful family. His mom, Libby Boyce, she works in housing the LA homeless, and then now, she’s carrying on her son’s legacy by trying to find a cure for epilepsy and has found all these researchers and is bringing it all together. I wanna help, but I also just think about him and his energy and how that carries on and how that affected people. When you die, how do you want your legacy to affect people? I’ve thought about that a lot since losing him because it was one of the, like, four kids that were part of my high school experience. So maybe just try to be like a decent human and know that everybody has a story, and everybody is struggling in some way and just be, like, a little more gentle with humans. That would be cool, just be a little more gentle with humans and with yourself. And if not that, it could be save the rabbits. Save the rabbits! Save the rabbits, the official foundation by Peyton List. Yeah. All right, Peyton, for dessert, we have the Dairy Queen Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard. Very excited. I haven’t had one of these in years. And then the cannolis from Court Street Pastry in Brooklyn, New York City. I’m excited. Please dig in, and tell me about it. Yeah, Court Street Pastry was close to my school in Brooklyn, and I would just crave cannolis every day. And I loved them so much that one of our good family friends sent me, for my birthday, the shells and the cream on the side to fill it in, and that was, like, my best birthday ever. And so they just have been so memorable. That’s incredible. Yeah, we couldn’t get these from New York, and so we recreated them as faithfully as possible. Yeah, they look exactly the same. And I have no idea what those green things are. We had no idea either. So Nicole actually called up the place, and they were like, “It’s coconut, don’t you know that?” And we’re like, “We’re from California. I’m sorry, we’re new. We didn’t know.” Coconut? Coconut. And so we have the chocolate, and we have the vanilla. Are you a chocolate or vanilla girl when it comes to cannols? When it comes to cannolis, I’m vanilla, but everything else is chocolate, right? Same, same, same. Thank you for leaving me the bigger one. That was incredibly empathetic. Oh, yeah. Unless you wanna switch now and you didn’t notice. I actually didn’t notice that that one was bigger because I- Do you want the? No, that’s okay. Now I feel bad. You can have it. Like, you’re a guest. Okay, thank you. It’s okay. Look at this Blizzard. I know, I know. We’re not gonna go home hungry. So good. Not much better in life than a good cannol. And the powdered sugar on top. Tell me about the Dairy Queen. I mean, who doesn’t love Dairy Queen, but? If I’ve ever been on a road trip, if I’m like, we shoot “Cobra Kai” in Atlanta so there’s a lot of Dairy Queens. Really? Yeah, but I just love them. Yeah, when I was working in Toronto, I did this, like, fasting cleanse, and when I ended it, I ended it with Dairy Queen after, like, 30 days of not eating anything unhealthy. Yeah, so when I thought about last meals, I kind of thought about everything epic that I’ve ever eaten. Love that. A Dairy Queen Blizzard is one of those items for me. Speaking of “Cobra Kai”, so you played a lot of typically optimistic Disney roles, and then you go into “Cobra Kai”, and you’re playing this woman who could kick the crap outta you, also comes from a very tough background. Kind of reminds me a bit of your character in “School Spirits” as well, both real hard-nosed, have to keep up a guard like that. Tell me about what you learned about yourself from switching those roles. I guess I learned that people could believe that I seemed like a badass who could fight people. Because when I auditioned for “Cobra Kai”, did it because I thought it’d be like a fun challenge for me to audition, but I never expected to get it. Yeah. So I was really shocked. That’s so funny. I mean, you’re glad you did, I imagine? No, I’m really glad that I did. I’m glad I went for it, because I feel like I tell myself no sometimes before someone else can because I’m like, ah, I limit myself. Yeah, that was pretty shocking. That was the first thing that I had seen you in. So I was like, “Oh, she must play the hardcore chick who could kick the crap outta you in everything.” And then I went back and re-watched it. I wasn’t just watching “Jessie” and “Bunk’d” as a 26-year-old, to be clear. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, no. It’s good television. Listen, I’ll go back and re-watch them. Anyway, the point is, to me, that was, like, a very natural role for you. And so it was weird hearing you talk about how that wasn’t always the case. Everyone just thought of me as this, like, prissy, bratty, privileged girl who grew up on the Upper West Side sort of thing. So then, to play that role was, like, the complete opposite. So I kind of just, I love to just flip flop and play the opposites and just play a bunch of different things. And I think everyone loves to box people in, and I think it’s fun. Sure. Do you think people actively root for the downfall of Disney stars? Mm. I think people like to know your fate is kinda in my hands sort of thing. Oh, interesting. So, like, we can bring you down, but also then, I feel like they love to bring people down but then also love to watch them rise again? I don’t know. Do you think that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy for some people? Right, I kind of thought, as a kid I was like, “What’s your own kid doing?” Yeah, honestly. “Your own kid’s in college, right? What are they doing?” Because you’re just seeing, like, the first time someone’s smoking a blunt. Like, you’re seeing it on Instagram or something. But I’m like, “Your kid might be doing a lot worse things.” Like, “Focus on yourself, focus on your own kids.” I know you also had to deal with certain things growing up being young and in the public eye. You’ve talked about being exposed to creepy behavior online. I mean, what are the emotions surrounding that? Is it anger? Is it fear, resentment? It’s funny, like, I wish I felt angry, or fearful, or anything. I don’t really have, like, major feelings toward it. I’m just like, “Damn.” ‘Cause I just think I think about people’s minds being broken, so it doesn’t even make me feel angry. I’m just like, “Ah, their wires are crossed.” But it sounds like you have an incredible amount of empathy. I do. It’s, like, a problem though. I wish I could just be angry, but I just feel so bad. All right, you ready to get into the lightning round? Yes. Peyton, other than me, who is the one person dead or alive you’d want to share your actual last meal with? My twin brother. That makes sense. Yeah, yeah, if you got a twin, might as well. We came into this world together, let’s go out. You’re gonna kill him too? He doesn’t have to die in this. Okay, well, at least he can, like, see me go out. Okay, that’s good, that’s good. Who’s your dream eulogizer at your funeral? Can’t be your twin brother. Oh my, Jack Black. Oh God, so good. That’d be so fun. It’d be so fun. What song do you want them to play at your funeral? I feel like, Nothing from the “School of Rock”. The “School of Rock” Damn it, you were actually- No! Fine, you can have the “School of Rock” soundtrack, go ahead. I feel like the one that’s like, “If you wanna be a teacher’s pet.” We can only sing three seconds without getting sued. Okay. That was enough. That was beautiful. Who would win in a real-life fight, you or Mary Mouser? Oh my God. We’re talkin’ not karate, not points. We’re talkin’ street fight. No! Outside of a bar. Oh, God! You know, she spilled her vodka soda on you, and you’re not havin’ it. Oh my God. If we were drinking, she would probably win ’cause I would just be like, I don’t know. “I’m a pacifist, just don’t.” What’s your biggest regret in life? Oh, God. Yeah, I know, casual. Why are you asking me this? Eat another bite of Blizzard and figure it out. Let’s solve some things here. I don’t know, what’s yours? I think not tending to relationships more, you know, not just stepping up. It would’ve been a three-second text.
