- To start, I think we met at an airport
or an airplane. - Yeah, I'm thinking it meant,
probably meant a little bit more to me
than it did to you at the time. I was, I was eight and,
- You were eight.
- and you were my, you were and are my biggest,
were my biggest crush in the whole world,
I was so in love with you, - What?!
- it was like an like, like a crazy obsession
after Charlie's Angels and I, - No!
- I came up to you to talk to you
and I just completely froze and then you were so sweet
and you said, oh, thank you so much,
and then you went onto the plane and I said, hey mom,
would you mind if I sat with Drew?
And she said, no Nat, I think she's in first class,
and you were with one of the guys from The Strokes,
and I was like, - Oh.
- I think I could take that guy.
- Yeah. By the way, you, you look like a Stroke now.
- I was waiting my time.
- Brittany, I was obsessed with you on White Lotus,
I have to bring it up,
season one. (audience cheering)
- [Brittany] Thank you.
- You know,
(audience clapping)
I just thought that your acting was so incredible,
it's like you and Sidney Sweeney
played off each other so well,
what's it like being in the White Lotus franchise?
- Oh my gosh, I didn't know that it was gonna be
what it was when we were filming it.
So it was a really exciting challenge
and very complex character,
I think she turned a lot of people on and off.
Like my mom was like, I'm disgusted by what she did.
I was like, or like people, like, I'm getting like,
I don't know, stuff at the pharmacy and the girl comes
and tells me like, ugh, your character was so annoying,
here are your antibiotics, I'm like, thank you.
(audience laughing)
- So Nat, in the intro I talked about
how you're a terrible driver.
Is it true that you almost ran over Jennifer Connelly,
the beautiful actress?
- Yeah, not on purpose.
You know, they actually asked, can you drive?
I said yeah, I can drive.
I'd never been behind the wheel of a car,
and then I got on set and on my first like,
you know the first shot, I'm saying goodbye to my mom,
Jennifer Connelly played my mom,
and she's walking behind the car,
and I think it's in drive, but it's in reverse,
and it goes (imitating car sound),
she jumps out of the way and I'm like,
oh God, I'm so sorry.
And then the director comes to the car
and he is like, you almost just killed a national treasurer.
(all laughing)
So yeah.
- Well, earlier, we were doing The Weekender,
which is things to watch, see, do, listen,
purchase, to better your life.
Do you guys have a suggestion, each,
one each that you could give for The Weekender?
- My, my sweet sister-in-law got me a Vitamix,
and I love it so much, you can make hummus,
you can make smoothies, you can make soups, like,
I don't know, it's just, I was like, wow,
I didn't know things could be blended so nicely.
- Nat
- I've been listening to this album
by Tom Waits from the seventies called Closing Time,
which is such a great album.
- Get that in your Weekender, Brittany, Nat! Okay.
In summation, what the heck is this show?
The Consultant and why are we all gonna be talking about it?
- Oh, well there we go. (Brittany laughing)
I noticed that when I was doing this show,
it started to infiltrate my dreams,
cause there's something kind of subconscious,
subconsciously destabilizing about the entire thing
and confronting and, and it's really, really funny.
But then I watched the show,
and suddenly I was having the dreams again too.
I think there's just something about the show
that it just permeates, goes right into like,
this deep part of you.
- That's a great description, Brittany,
what do you want people to know about the show?
- I Think that the show in, I mean,
it's an extreme version of
kind of having a bad boss. - Right.
- In the lengths that people are willing to go to,
to excel in their career.
- She's amazing in the show.
- You're amazing in the show. - She's amazing.
- We had a great time working together.
- Yeah we did. - We did.
- I think it was incredible chemistry
and as much as it's a fever dream,
it's also very funny and extremely entertaining.
Brittany and Nat, thank you so much for coming by.
All eight episodes of The Consultant are available
to stream now on Prime Video and we have
an extra special news story after the break,
and let's just say it's kinda delicious, you'll love it,
we'll be right back.
Thank you guys so much
