Aek.
>>> Our next guest does it all.
She's a MM of two and actress
and fashion designer.
Please welcome the beautiful Eva
Mendes!
>> Eva!
>> Hi, guys.
So nice to see you.
>> You too.
>> I love we were just talking
now about our kids.
>> So beautiful.
>> By the way, she looks
gorgeous and I complimented her
not knowing it was her piece.
>> Truly.
>> This was Eva Mendes.
>> You look beautiful.
Come on, you're stunning.
>> We're talking about I'm
pushing 50 in the dressing room.
>> Pushing 50, is that crazy?
>> How close to pushing?
We're there, we're there.
>> I'm right behind you.
>> To sure but look like that at
any age!
>> Thank you, Eva.
And for you I feel like I like
where you are in your life.
You've made your daughters your
tell us about what is your life
at home and where you are.
>> Oh, gosh, it's so fun and
beautiful and maddening.
It's maddening.
>> Yes, it is.
It's hard.
>> Of course.
But it's like that feeling of
like you really end your day,
you put them to bed, and you
know Ryan and I kind of look at
each other like, we did it.
We did it.
>> We live another day!
>> We came out relatively
unscathed.
>> If you can get them to bed.
Mine, it's like get into bed!
>> And then there's the other
portion and then they do that
sleep regression thing we're in.
Our 3-year-old, I guess they go
through a sleep regression
nobody told me about so I looked
it up.
Why isn't my 3-year-old
anyway, it's beautiful and I'm
so thankful I have the
opportunity to be home with
them.
That's what I'm thankful for.
>> Yeah, and every day is like a
new little adventure.
>> It is.
>> I happen to work with my wife
on my radio show which I love
and it's fun and I know you
worked with your husband in the
past.
You recently said you would like
to work together again.
Is anything in the works?
>> He's just a creative genius,
there's always stuff going on
I would love to at any time, I
would audition for him any day.
>> Are we ready to get back to
work, get back --
>> I don't need to audition for
him, by the way.
Nobody caught that
>> Hey, maybe he likes that
>> You know what's funny about
that, I can work alongside my
husband, but I couldn't have him
direct me.
You know what I mean?
>> Yeah.
>> That's a hard one.
>> You're the director at home
though.
>> Right, right.
Is he a director?
>> He does some directing, yeah.
>> Have you ever collaborated in
that way?
>> No, he hired me for ESPN for
something and oh, god what has
this kid who runs the call sheet
done today?
He hid behind all of that stuff.
But it's a funny thing when you
work together.
>> Yeah, I love it.
>> The girls, you think they
have the acting bug?
>> Oh, I have no idea.
Right now they have every bug.
Arts and crafts, a lot of
painting.
We have instruments around, they
pick them up.
We can't say they actually play
anything but, you know, it's
just a playful environment and
it's a lot of fun.
>> One of the things that I
think is really important too,
you have to kind of when you are
busy both as a parent and in a
career, whatever career that is,
you have to carve out time as a
couple and have date nights.
Do you find that difficult?
I have to literally schedule it
with my wife.
>> Yeah, it takes a lot of prep.
You have to prep it and make
sure you have it all lined up.
Luckily we have a lot of family
support.
>> That's key.
>> A lot of family.
My family lives here.
His family comes in, they live
in Canada but they come in all
the time and stay for a very
long time and it's very welcome.
So we have that support.
And so, yes, I agree with you
but it's also about carving time
for yourself, right?
>> Yeah, that's important too.
>> I feel like it's kind of
scary that they're really
watching me every second and
watching what I do.
If I put myself as a priority,
and I, you know, I take time to
self-care, it sends a good
message and it keeps me kind of
sane.
>> How about your garden, I
heard it was a hit.
Are you a Gardner?
>> No, I'm a city girl!
But I just decided wouldn't it
be great to start gardening and
go pick the fruit from the
garden?
>> What did you garden?
>> So we did strawberries,
cucumbers, tomatoes.
>> Tomatoes taste so much
>> They do.
But they take so long.
When are they coming in?
So anyway, the girls would go
out to the garden every day, we
watered it and were so excited
and we realized the strawberries
were not coming in.
Where are the strawberries?
That's what the girls wanted.
So we were like I guess someone
had brought it to our attention
we have gophers.
>> Gophers, I was going to say!
>> They were eating our
strawberries.
And I was like those evil
monsters.
>> You're like "Caddyshack" with
Bill Murray!
>> Yeah.
>> How do we get these things?
>> I googled them.
They're so cute!
>> And their ears.
>> Oh, let gophers have the
strawberries!
Let them eat the strawberry,
those cute little things
>> And we love your new line.
The sixth year of doing this.
Put in some pictures of you
here, we're laughing, even your
flashback, any year we put up,
you look fantastic.
I feel like you never get it
wrong.
What a compliment!
>> Doesn't age either.
>> You guys are so wrong.
That black and white number
right there --
>> Zoom in.
Let me see.
>> The second to the right.
>> I look so busted in that.
No!
You guys, the other ones are
maybe okay.
But the black and white one, but
that's sweet of you guys.
I remember, that was the days I
would do my own makeup and think
I could get away with it.
I couldn't.
>> And remember when you wore
the $15 dress?
>> I do.
I still have that dress.
>> It's so cool that women like
to have other people put on the
makeup, because wouldn't you
know what you want?
>> I don't know how to do this.
>> But it is a skill, really it
is a skill.
It really is.
I have makeup artists I have
worked with like 20 years, she's
amazing.
So -- it's extra help.
Obviously when I run to the
market, I'm not putting makeup
on but this kind of situation,
it helps.
>> My husband sometimes is like
where is that Monday through
Friday girl?
On the weekends, it's like
baseball.
I don't know how to do it.
He likes the lashes, which is
good.
Wait.
We have a huge fan who's
embarrassed to say hello to you.
Scott Evans, get over here and
say hello to Eva!
>> Me and my momma had something
we wanted to give to you.
>> Somebody just gave that to
you!
>> No, my momma and I are giving
it to Eva!
>> Are you really serious?
Is your mom really involved in
it?
>> Yes, this is from me and my
mom!
>> Eva, right there.
There's mom.
>> Her name is Kelly.
Kelly is the greatest.
She's the best.
