- Well, we did kind of hang out at the People's Choice Awards.
- We did. - Remember that?
- I did. I did remember that.
I presented the People's Choice Awards,
and this is something that I've actually
never told anybody.
But I was presenting, and then we go to the nominees,
and it goes dark.
And in the corner of my eye,
I see Ellen and Portia right there,
'cause I always know where they're at.
And I see them right there,
and Ellen's waving with both hands.
And--I'm like, "She's not-- Is she waving at me?
"Is she, like--is she acknowledging that I exist
in the real world?"
And it was so weird, so I try not to look at you,
and finally I looked at you, and you were.
And then you gestured to Portia to wave at me,
and then she waved at me.
And I was trying so hard to be cool,
but I was dying inside.
I couldn't believe that you were, like,
saying hi to me.
Then backstage, you came up,
and I was talking to Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard,
and they're so awesome.
And then you guys all started talking.
We all started talking. They were being so normal.
And in my head, I was just thinking, like,
"I wonder if Ellen thinks this is so much fun."
[cheers and applause]
I was like, "Do you think that she thinks,
"like, I'm a really cool friend now
'cause, like, I'm hanging out with Kristen and Dax."
See, that's us. - Yeah, there we were.
We're hanging out.
I don't know why you're thinking all this.
First of all, we have been texting sort of back and forth--
- Through a mutual friend. - Through a mutual friend.
Her boyfriend, if you don't know,
is Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback from the Packers,
which...
[cheers and applause]
We were texting because we were--during games--
- Yes. - So we were--
- We've been friends though somebody--
through another friend.
- Right, but we've been texting sort of.
- Sort of, yes.
And--but you did text me the day you said.
- Yes, I called you. I left a message today.
- I'm excited about that.
- If it's the right number you gave me, I called you.
- Oh, it's 100% the right number.
I'm so excited.
- And then I gave you my number,
so now we will hang out for sure.
- You're gonna regret that. - Uh-uh, no.
- Calling you all the time. - No, it'll be so much fun.
- Like, "Did you have the same dream I had last night, Ellen?"
- I--you know what I'm gonna be dreaming about,
is your cute little puppy that you and Aaron just got.
They just adopted the cutest--
They rescued this dog, and they named it Chance
for second chance.
- Yeah, look, that's when I gave him a bath.
He was not happy with me. - No.
- He did not think he needed a bath,
but he's the best.
He's rescued from an abusive puppy mill,
and he's a purebred Cavalier King Charles.
And he's the best thing in the whole world.
My boyfriend-- I have to give him credit,
'cause I've been doing a press tour
and talking about Chance, and I'm taking all the credit,
but he's really the one who trained him
in a day in a half to go to the bathroom outside.
- How--wait, wait, how do you--
Getting a puppy is such a commitment.
How has he been playing football
and you've been doing a press tour
and you have a puppy and he house-broke him?
- Because his magic is real.
[laughter]
He's amazing. - He is amazing.
- I don't know how he did it.
I got--I called him, and I said,
"So I adopted a puppy," and he goes,
"I don't know if you're joking."
I was like, "No," and I brought it home,
and I freaked out.
Like, I don't know what to do.
What do you do? And he was like, "It's okay."
He just kind of took it over, and in a day and a half,
the puppy knew exactly what to do.
And, I mean, he's with us everywhere.
He was licking the Vice President's face
and being all sweet.
It was so cute. He's just the--
If you can rescue a dog, you should do that.
- Please, yes. - It's the best gift you--
- And they know it too. They're so grateful.
And he is the cutest.
He was in my dressing room just before the show,
and he's adorable.
- He is. He's the sweetest.
And he won't-- he won't do anything bad.
He's, like, the sweetest.
He just loves everybody so much.
I've gone a little bit crazy with him.
Like, my boyfriend, thankfully,
is the one who's pulling me back,
'cause I'm like, "Oh, my god, she we get, like, a baby bjorn
and I can, like, wear him?"
He's like, "No," and I'm like,
"Oh, what if we get a crib by the bed?
We can, like, have him sleep in the bed."
He's like, "Livy, you're gonna make him go crazy.
"Like, treat him like a dog. He's a dog.
He's gonna be fine."
And I will bundle him up in little snow boots
to go outside, 'cause we live in Green Bay.
And, like, it takes me 30, 45 minutes
to get all bundled up,
and then, like, I'll bundle him up.
And he's, like, really, you know, unhappy
'cause I bundled him up.
And then I go outside, I walk down the driveway,
and it's about a 30 second walk.
And then it's so cold, and I turn right back around,
and I go inside.
Like, not gonna do it.
- Yeah, well, that would be even harder,
to house-break a dog that has to go out
in 30 degree weather.
- Yeah, but he does it, 'cause he's a champ.
- He is. You're a cute family.
- Thanks.
- You and Aaron on adorable. The dog is adorable.
It's just ridiculous. - And we're adorable.
- Yeah, we--you and I are adore--
- This friendship.
This is you, me, and Portia and Aaron just hanging out.
- The four of us are adorable.
- So excited about that.
- We're gonna do it.
- We're gonna go, like, scuba diving
and, like, Olive Garden.
[cheers and applause]
- Those are two extremes, but-- and I--
- Well, just everything that friends do.
- I'm not really certified. Okay.
I got you a little gift, and to start off our friendship.
And so here's yours, and here's mine.
- Oh, my gosh. - Okay?
- This is the best thing ever. - Ever.
[laughter]
- Look at this.
[cheers and applause]
This is the best. - Yeah.
"Mordecai" is in theaters now. We'll be right back.
Olivia Munn, my best friend. - Best friend.
- Best friend.
[cheers and applause]
