Our first guest is one of the most beautiful people
in the world, inside and out.
Please welcome my friend, Jennifer Garner.
Hi, Ellen.
Oh, hello.
Hello, everyone.
It's really nice to see you.
Hi.
So nice to see you.
Don't let Andy scare you back there.
We're trying to get some money from Fritos.
I can gather as much.
It seems like he's really all in.
Yeah.
Like I have a choice, Jen.
Like you have a choice.
Thank you, guys.
Before we even start, thank you both for keeping us
all laughing and keeping everybody
just up and optimistic and real during all of this.
You all are the best.
It's not easy.
Thank you for doing it.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
That's--
And what Ellen said is true.
You are beautiful inside and out.
You are genuinely just a ray of light.
So I say right back to you, thank you.
Yes.
Yeah.
You really are.
Thank you so much for being--
thanks for being here with us today.
And how is the family holding up?
Everyone's really good, you know?
Actually, they've been great.
We have our moments, of course.
But I think they really get kind of the call
to action of staying put and of, you know,
working hard to keep your chin up.
And they're cleaning the house and helping out
and they've been really good.
What kind of cleaning?
Every Sunday we do the whole house.
We do every-- we do everything.
My son-- I finally let him do his bathroom on his own.
He's the 8-year-old.
And I walked in after and the whole bathtub was gray.
And he had put so much like bathtub cleaner in it
and then just filled it with water
and emptied the water out.
So it had coated the inside of the tub,
and it took me like 20 minutes of scrubbing.
So we had to take a step back and say, that was thorough,
there was a lot of cleaner, but it
would have eaten your skin off.
So let's try again.
Right.
Well, you know what?
The good news is, he's learning how to clean at an early age
and that's going to be very helpful for him later on.
Yes.
Yeah.
Now, this is adorable.
I saw the check that he wrote you.
You posted this.
Please explain.
This is the cutest thing I think I've ever heard of.
Yep, for being my momma.
Yes, he got a checkbook, a kid's checkbook.
And, you know, you forget how cool
it is just to get something that you're allowed to do
that you see grownups doing.
And so he was thrilled.
He was writing checks for everything,
and this was to pay me for the year.
For the year of 2019, that's what I earned-- $168.42.
How did he work out that number?
And how is the-- what's the 42 cents?
I mean, I think that was the tip.
I see.
Wow.
Now I saw-- first of all, how are your chickens?
The chickens are-- I mean, what a time to have chickens.
They've been just out there laying.
They just give us eggs.
We have eggs out the wazoo.
We give eggs to neighbors.
Is that how they do it?
I don't know, Helen.
Ellen.
I don't-- all of a sudden your name is Helen.
Because I have--
She just knows it comes out of the wazoo.
I go out there and I look at him on the nest
and I kind of say, how are you doing?
Like can I move you?
Are you-- you don't want to move them at the wrong time,
you know?
No.
No, I understand that.
Wait, can I ask a question?
Yes.
Don't you need roosters to put the eggs into the chickens?
Oh my God, Andy.
OK, that's why I only--
in my special when I say I only eat eggs
from chickens who don't have a husband.
Because the reason that I don't is because they're not fertile.
You're eating eggs that are not fertilized so it doesn't
have a baby chicken inside.
Oh, OK.
Now I get it.
Because sometimes when you eat an egg that has been fertilized
and, you know--
it's a bad situation.
Right, OK.
So that's why if you don't have a rooster--
because they lay eggs.
They ovulate.
That's just-- they just--
That's what they do.
Yeah, they just lay eggs all the time anyway.
They're just not fertilized.
All right?
Now we've taught you something.
Yes, we have.
Thank you, Jen.
Thank you, Ellen.
I don't know why you think that everybody needs a man.
Don't you need a rooster?
How do those little chickens get along without a rooster?
Forget it.
All right, let's talk about the cat in the stroller,
because I think this is a clever idea.
I've had a stroller for my older dog who has arthritis,
and you look like a crazy person walking a dog in a stroller.
But is this for cats, this stroller?
Oh my gosh, it is.
One of my kids was not into going for walks.
And we just had to get out of the house.
And I said, what can we do?
We got to-- we have to just commit to going for walks.
And she said, I want to take the cat.
So we ordered a cat stroller.
I blame Jessica Seinfeld.
I want Jessica Seinfeld to know that I blame her.
Because she is like a cat lady, and all of a sudden
now I have a cat and I have a cat stroller
and I take it for walks.
And it has a leash.
Wait, does your cat enjoy--
I've seen cats on leashes before.
You really have to train them early on,
because they don't really like it unless they get used to it.
But does your cat enjoy the stroller?
It looks a little like, why am I in here?
That's the face that I saw.
It's a little bit like why am I in here,
but I think it's happy to go out and about.
I mean, it's very titillated by the whole--
the adventure.
I mean, look.
Yeah.
It's into it.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's take a break.
All right, we're going to take a break, because Andy says so
and I like to make him think he has some kind of control.
We'll be back.
From the backyard.
