- Let's see.
What have I taught you?
I don't- I don't think anything.
- Hmm.
- [Kate] Is that true?
- No, it's true.
- I think-
[all laugh]
[upbeat music]
- Ah, Leisha.
Well I met that one in what, 2002?
- I met Kate when we were both testing
for the same role on The L Word.
The character she ended up getting, Shane.
It was like the last stage of getting the part.
But when I looked over and I saw her, I was like,
"Not gonna get this part." [laughs]
- I thought she was gonna take my job.
I felt like that was someone that was
meant to be in my life, instantly.
- I thought Kate was so cool.
She's like intimidating looking.
She's very like sexy and like edgy
and just the kind of person you're like
that person's never gonna wanna hang out with me.
But then it turns out she's nothing like that.
She's kind of a goober.
And the second I realized that, I was like,
"We're gonna be friends."
- Leisha will never let you take things
or yourself too seriously, which I appreciate.
- I feel like Leisha and I, I can't tell
if I will be her when I'm older or if I just
really really want to be her when I'm her age.
I look up to her in so many ways.
She's so creative, it's bonkers.
Like she truly does everything but is so humble about it.
So my friendship with her is very playful.
Some sort of like older person to look up to, but also it's-
I feel like we're we're friends.
You know?
- I was really excited to meet her,
'cause we saw her audition,
her tape and she was our favorite.
So when I got to meet her, she really had
this spirit we were looking for in Angie.
And she's a Midwestern girl like me.
I'm from Nebraska and she's from Iowa.
So we bonded over that really quickly
'cause it's kinda like you find your people. [laughs]
- Being her friend, you just get a such
a wide range of her personality all the time,
'cause she's such a dynamic person.
You'll feel seen and have great conversations,
but also laugh about the dumbest things.
She's all the things at once, which is really great.
- She's just like so intelligent,
and mature for her age, and just a really easy hang.
And I'm like over twice her age.
- I met Jordan at a cast dinner in June of 2019.
She was very open and present.
- I just remember meeting Kate,
and she was super, super kind.
Just has a very strong essence to her.
Like she's, you know,
she's just showstopper a little bit.
So like when you see her you're like, "Oh you're Kate, hi."
So- but she was super sweet and nice.
- I feel like I've gotten to know Jordan more this year
because we work so much together,
and she's an easy laugh, which I like.
- There's this quote that like,
"To be interesting you have to be interested"
And I feel like Kate is like,
the quintessential version of that.
Like she's so interested in people.
It feels so great when you're
in conversations with her or have her as a friend.
She really, really cares about what you're saying
and is such a good listener
and is just really invested in who you are.
[calm music]
- [Jordan] Yes!
- [Kate] Tough.
- Hmm.
- [Jordan] Like, this is like a love letter.
- I know.
I like really want it to mean something.
- I have a whole list in my diary.
Okay. [giggles]
- You are a pickleball master.
- Thank you. [laughs]
- That's what you came up with?
- Yeah, we played yesterday.
- I know, but that's- okay.
[both laugh]
- Well.
- Thank you.
- Listen, the memory is starting to shorten with age.
So we played this like less than 24 hours ago.
I really took away your brilliance at pickleball.
I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
It's hard.
- That was deep.
[Jordan laughs]
You have another one?
- You're super intuitive.
- Thank you.
I appreciate that.
- You're welcome.
[Jordan laughs]
Go ahead.
- Wow.
Okay, great.
You are the most curious and interested person
in every subject in the world.
Like, you know so much about so many things that I would-
- Oh, that's true.
- Like there are people so much older, and younger,
that just know a little bit,
you know a lot about a lot of things,
and I think that's just gonna really like, I don't know,
help you grow as a human being as you get older,
and just- you'll just be fascinating to so many people.
- I thought of another one.
- Okay.
[Jordan and Leisha laugh]
- You're always reading a book and I love that about you.
[Jordan laughs]
Every day on set, she comes in with a book,
and it's not some lame fictional book.
You're always reading a biography, or a piece of history.
- I love your light spirit.
Like when we're on set and I hear your laugh,
[Jordan laughs]
and it can be like trailers and trailers down.
It brings me so much joy.
You have like an effervescence about you
and it's charismatic and draws you in
and I love that about you.
- That's true.
- Thanks!
- She's my hype girl.
[Jordan and Leisha laugh]
- That's very nice.
- You slay it on the court.
- [giggles] Thank you so much.
- You're very welcome.
- Leisha, I wrote mine as a script. [laughs]
I admire how much of a renaissance woman you are.
Your creativity and point of view
of the world has no bounds.
- I love that.
Renaissance women.
- You have like, just a deep well
of how you perceive the world and what it means to you.
So you have all these different avenues to get it
out 'cause they're just so much of it.
- Aww. I like that. - That's cute.
- Yeah.
You have such a radiant smile.
- Oh - [Kate] Aww.
- [Jordan] You're such a light.
- [Kate] It's true.
- It's kind of the exact same thing that you, you know.
- Said about you.
- Whenever you walk into a room,
people are like, "Oh, thank God."
[all laugh]
- Like, "Thank God, we can be happy."
[all laugh]
- The light comes in.
The sun is shone.
- Exactly.
- That's very, very kind.
- You got the depth and you got the height.
[Kate laughs]
- There's nothing in the middle.
- The depth and the width.
[Jordan laughs]
- Thank you.
- Leisha.
- Yes Kate,
- This is tough, 'cause-
- I understand.
- We've had a very large history.
So first thing I'm gonna say is,
something I've noticed about you.
You have a glass is half full mentality.
Always.
- Yes, why not?
- And I need that 'cause I-
- I know you do. [laughs]
- So I've always thought,
I've always admired that about you.
And it is a good shot in the arm.
And-
- Thanks Kate.
- The other one that I'm gonna say, is, I'm gonna share it.
Can you see that?
- What does it say?
- All of you.
'Cause I really don't know what else to say.
- Come on!
- What?
It's true. - That's so romantic.
[both laugh]
[Leisha and Kate talk over each other]
- I know there are things you don't like.
[All laugh]
- But that's not what this exercise is about today.
It's about all the things that I do like
And the truth is, I can't dwindle it down to two.
And the good far, far outweighs the bad.
- Oh my gosh.
- If there even is any bad.
So that's that.
- Thanks Kate.
- Aww.
- Wow, that's really sweet.
- Kate.
- Yes.
[Jordan and Leisha laugh]
- I admire your ability to lead
with succinctness and kindness.
- Huh
- Yeah, you're a very, very good leader.
Like if you walk somewhere,
I'll follow, in a really good way.
'Cause I know it's very kind, and also just
on the money it's like succinct.
It's to the point.
But it's really good.
- Thanks Jordan.
- You're welcome.
- Can't waste time.
- You can't- [laughs] exactly.
- Can't waste time.
- Exactly.
I admire how well you take care of the people you love.
You're so dependable and thoughtful.
- Aw, thank you.
[Jordan laughs]
- It's interesting I that I you say that, Jordan,
because my first one was dependable.
Isn't that crazy?
- It's kind of boring, isn't it?
- It's not.
No, no, no, no.
We all, no.
You know how you said you need the light?
- Yes.
- I need dependability.
I need that in a person.
I wanna know you're always gonna be around no matter what.
Like you don't-
- It's a selflessness.
- Yeah, even if like, I mess up or I like maybe upset you
or whatever the case is, you're there.
Do you know what I'm saying?
We all need that.
A lot of people are like, fly by night.
- Thanks.
- You're the friends that you just-
I just know you're gonna stick around.
Dependable's a great quality.
- Thank you.
- You're- it's kind of similar but like you're like a rock,
and I think it's so weird we have like,
kind of the same things we see in you.
You never like mince words.
[Leisha and Jordan laugh]
- No.
No. [laughs]
- Like, you always know what you're gonna get with you.
People like love to give their opinions,
unsolicited opinions.
But like I call for yours.
[calm music]
Jordan, I feel like I want you to go first.
- Yeah, it's usually-
- [laughs] uh-oh.
- Okay, describe your first day on set with each other.
- Can you remember?
- Yes.
- Okay, go. - What is it?
- My first day on set with you was-
well the first scene I think I ever had with you,
was when we're sitting at the bar
in the very last episode of the first season.
- That's right.
- And I remember I was like, so neurotic at the time,
and I just was like, "I don't know what to say."
And then I think we were watching the election or something.
- The fake election?
- Yeah!
- I got nervous.
What election was it?
[all talk over each other]
- But like, we're watching her results,
and I remember you were like standing
right there and you're like, "Is it okay
if I just like put my hand in your shoulder?"
And I was like, "Yeah!"
And then you do and I put my hand over and I was like,
"This was like so sweet."
And you like say a line or something,
and I remember, you know when you're nervous [laughs]
about, like to say something,
so you say the sentence in your head
like 50 times and then when you say it out loud it's-
- Like your line?
- Yeah.
No, no.
I was gonna say a compliment to you.
And I was overthinking it.
So in my head I was gonna say like, "That was such a genius-
That was a nice way to say-
You're a genius with this line," or something.
And then when I said it to you,
I was like, "you- you're Genie."
[all laugh]
- First of all,
you internalize everything 'cause that is not how-
[Jordan and Leisha talk over each other]
- You were like, chilling at the bar,
in a perfect performance.
Like you'd been there your whole life.
- That's so funny.
- You must have been shaking inside.
- Shaking in my boots.
Yeah, I was like, "Ugh."
But I remember you were just like-
but then I remember, every time in the scene
when you'd like, put your hand on my shoulder.
I was like- it was very calming.
But yeah, okay.
That was my first day I had set with you.
- That's right.
- And the first time I was on set with you-
I remember.
We were sitting in your jeep at one point.
- That's right.
You were driving.
- I was driving, and I think you were doing improv of like,
"Oh so you always wanted a jeep?"
But I thought- 'cause it was right before a scene.
But I didn't realize you were doing that.
So it was like, "Yeah, my dad and I actually-"
and then they said action.
I was like, oh my god, I went for it. [laughs]
It wasn't a real question.
But I remember you were just so chill about it.
So I guess, yeah.
- I remember that day.
Yeah, we were making up a lot of stuff on the spot.
- Yeah.
I just remember it was very like, [snaps fingers]
it was super easy to work with.
I felt- I liked how you act,
'cause you're just like, [laughs]
Just do it, you know, do whatever is authentic,
but just fuck it.
Just do it.
- It's like bingo.
- Mm-hm.
- Bingo? [laughs]
- Oh, what is your- this is great.
That's a great question.
What is your favorite thing to eat from crafty?
Here we go.
- Oh, it's one of my favorite conversations.
- Okay, so this is a big part of our lives, craft service.
It's the place we all gather.
It's a place where like, "Hey, you wanna go to crafty?"
- It's our time out.
- It's like-
- [laughs] I never had this experience.
- What?
- No, keep going.
- It's our time out.
It's our little-
There- it's a recess.
- Yeah.
So we love hibiscus lemonade.
- [Kate] Oh yeah.
- And they have to make it kind of special, right?
- Well they make it fresh.
That's the thing.
They make fresh lemonade-
- The word got out,
and then everybody was ordering hibiscus lemonade.
And I think they were like, [laughs] [imitates gunshots]
- I remember that.
I remember Ryan's like, "Stop!"
[all laugh]
- So that, and I love popcorn,
and we love sliced apples with peanut butter.
They make 'em like little sandwiches.
Yeah, we gather there.
- Yes.
- [laughs] I never-
- Meanwhile Jordan's never been.
What do you eat at work?
- Where are you?
- You're just reading a book in the corner, aren't you?
- Yeah.
No, I'm usually like-
- Do you know there's food on set?
[Leisha and Jordan laugh]
- You guys are getting food there?
What?
You didn't tell me!
- Oh, my turn?
Okay, describe your favorite day on set together.
- I'm gonna say the Covid car.
[All exclaim.]
- It's true story.
We were three days into filming this season.
We all had to pile into a car together
to shoot six lines of dialogue,
and some of the windows were up.
- Drive around downtown Los Angeles.
- At like, two in the morning.
And we-
- [Jordan] Such a fun day.
- We were having a blast.
- [Jordan] Everyone was like, it's a night shoot.
- They were closing down the streets for us,
and it was this big production, and we're just having a gas-
[Leisha and Kate talk over each other]
- Next morning, this one.
[Leisha and Jordan laugh]
- Next morning I feel fine.
And then I go to bed and I wake up and hot chills.
And I was like-
- And then we were all like, "Oh, that's so sad."
- So anyway, long story short, then it was my turn.
Then I test.
- And then-
- Oh, guess who's positive as well.
And then this one-
- Next day.
So we were like just a row of dominoes.
[Jordan imitates dominoes falling]
production shut down for a couple
- But it was a good time.
At least it was worth it.
- But that was our favorite day?
- I mean, I just think it's a memorable day.
- It's certainly memorable.
You'll never forget where you first got Covid.
[all laugh]
- Yeah.
[upbeat music]
- I'm really happy that you picked up on surf skating.
- Right.
- That made me really, really happy.
I felt like a proud mother.
- Yeah.
[Leisha laughs]
- You taught me surf skating, really well
- And you're really good at it.
- I love it.
I love it a lot.
- We have to go skating in the neighborhood.
Jordan,
[Jordan laughs]
you've taught me to read more.
I wanna read more because of you.
- Oh really?
- [Kate] Mm-hm.
- You have taught me the ease of creativity and travel.
Like I love how freely you play.
Like you bring your guitar to set, you just jam,
you're sort of- you sing, you just kind of like-
whereas I'm like, performance driven.
So I'm like, whenever I pick up my guitar or anything,
I'm like, I practice,
I really go through it in order to do that.
And you're just like, "No, you just play, and you just sing,
and you just go," I love that ease about you.
And also travel.
Like I plan travel and I go to it, and you're like,
"Now I'm just gonna go live in Paris."
- Yeah. [laughs]
- You're just very like, fluid with all of it.
I love that.
- Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
- What you taught me.
- [laughs] What I've taught you.
- Yeah, isn't that hard?
- It is kind of, like a little braggadocios.
- It's like you're assuming.
- One of the many things that they've learned from me.
You've taught me so many things.
Oh my God.
Music, music taste.
You have, when you guys taught me nineties music?
do you remember that day on set?
You like ever heard of Hole.
And then after I went, I was like,
"Dad they taught me holes!"
And you're like, "No.
[all laugh]
not that guy."
- Didn't we play Luscious Jackson for you?
- Yes, with Violet.
Ms. Lauren Hill.
Like the whole, yeah.
You taught me a lot about the nineties.
- Great, good.
[Jordan laughs]
You should've been there 'cause it was great.
- You really would've enjoyed it too.
- You would've really?
- Oh my gosh, I bet.
Okay, something I've learned from you.
Oh my gosh.
"Do what you say, and say what you do."
- I taught you that?
- [Jordan] Yes.
- Really? Yes.
[Jordan and Kate talk over each other]
- Just by your actions.
You know.
- Huh, okay.
- Like romance stuff.
I've learned so much that way.
- [Leisha] Oh, what I wanna-
[all laugh]
- I'm talking to you about romance stuff?
[all talk over each other]
- Giving you dating advice.
- "Best game is no game."
- Oh, "The best game is no game."
- Yes.
[all talk over each other]
Yes, exactly.
- I tried to add that into a scene
that we had together and they cut it
and I thought it was the best line, "Best game is no game."
- "Best game is no game."
You told me that.
[upbeat music]
- Oh, I really liked this group.
I was really into like doing this with the two of you.
[all laugh]
- I do love this combination.
And I'm grateful that I got to know you more this year.
Because I got to work with you
more than I ever have in the past.
And I just- don't take this wrong way,
but I get you, like you make a lot of sense to me
and you're in your energy field.
It makes me happy and it's very comforting to be around you.
And I always know it's gonna be fun and authentic,
whatever it is.
- Right.
Aw, that's so nice.
Yeah, I feel a lot closer to you guys.
It's just nice to-
- I would hope so.
- Yeah?
- Well you've grown up too in the last like three years.
- Yeah.
- I mean you were always mature,
but I'm saying like now we like connect about things
that maybe we didn't three years ago.
- Right. - Right?
- Yeah.
- Thanks for testing our friendship, Glamour.
- [Kate And Jordan] See you next time!
[all laugh]
- Jordan.
- Wow, twins.
[upbeat music]
