- I love you, Kristen Bell, everybody!
(audience applauds)
- I love you, too.
Hi.
- Oh, my goodness, it's so nice to see you.
- It's nice to see you, too.
How are you?
- You know, thriving and surviving.
And I just spit, and hugging, and spitting, and chewing,
and just anything.
I saw a mom friend the other day
and she hugged me on a street corner,
and I wanted to scream, "What are you doing?"
And, you know, just living
in that really bizarre, weird, surreal Sci-Fi movie world.
- Yeah, cause we need touch, right?
But we literally have been told
by mother earth not to touch right now.
- Yes, yes.
First of all, I remember you did a La-Z-Boy commercial
a couple years ago, and you were decorating a room
with this woman.
And you were like, "Wait, actually, let me keep it real
and do it the way it normally is."
And then all of a sudden, these little Crayola drawings were
on the wall and the furniture was a little must
and the pillows were everywhere
and there was toys on the coffee table.
And I remember, 'cause I love branding,
and one of the things that I'm a very repressed ad man,
I love advertising.
And I think it is so powerful and subliminal.
- It's a storytelling art.
- Exactly. - It's just storytelling.
I think when you speak to reality, you connect people,
and I don't ever want to appear to people like I'm...
I mean, I try very hard, and I'll let you see that,
but I don't wanna be trying too hard, you know.
I don't wanna be afraid to be me, I guess,
which is the person whose living room is a muck
because my children are feral, you know?
- I do know, absolutely.
Real talk, you're juggling so many things.
I mean, I'm like, is it a Veronica Mars reboot?
Is that "The Good Place"?
Wait, is it "Frozen"?
Wait, okay.
Oh, my gosh.
And then I was just reading,
you have "The Woman in the House" with Netflix, "Queenpins".
You're doing something on the moon
with Jonathan Groff. - "Molly and the Moon".
The good thing that I think I...
The sort of weird balance I strike,
even though I hate that word,
'cause we're always asked about balance and I'm like,
"To me, that's a four-letter word.
It's never gonna happen.
Just be present where you are,"
is that when I'm working,
I'm like hustling and I love it.
And when I'm lazy, I'ma be lazy.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, I will...
There's definitely been a week, over maybe,
that I've not gotten out of my pajamas.
Maybe even the same ones.
(audience laughs)
And I'm not even ashamed.
Like, when I'm lazy, I will go hard,
and I respect that about myself.
- I so agree about that word balance,
she is an illusive B that I feel like
I'm in like a cat fight with.
I'm like pulling her hair
and we're biting each other and hissin' and spittin'.
And I wanna just tire up and be like,
"Oh, God, you, one day I'm gonna find you.
I'm gonna find your address."
Balance!
- I just feel like I fought her
for a very long time, that balanced.
I would go to work and I would think about my kids all day.
I would be looking at pictures of them on my phone.
I'd be talking about them, I'd rush to get home.
Then I'd be at home and I'd be stressed about work
because I didn't sort of get the things done
that I needed to get done.
And I have a good therapist, who talks very curtly to me.
And he's like, "You're a human doing, not a human being.
If you wanna change, change."
And I'm like, "Who is this challenger I'm speaking to?"
Because he's just very much like,
"I'll sit here and listen to all your thoughts
about everything or we can try to make progress.
You let me know."
And that, to me, is like, ignites a challenge of like,
"Okay, no, I want progress.
You think I don't want progress.
I want progress.
I wanna evolve."
'Cause I'm so competitive.
But also, I think I just hit a point where I wasn't as happy
as I wanted to be.
- I too, I love therapy so much.
And I think if you go to a gym and you don't judge that,
why would you judge the gym for your mind?
- And I need both.
I need both.
If I don't exercise, I become very irritable.
And therapy, for the same reason, and also CBD.
It has helped my life so much.
And that's what I've been doing most of the year,
is creating this CBD product that I really wanted
in my life that I couldn't find,
and it's called the Happy Dance.
Oh, you have it?
- Oh, yeah.
- It's called a Happy Dance.
I've got it right here too.
We have three products.
This is just coconut oil and CBD.
Then we have a lotion, which is like,
I think, the best smell in the world, and a bath bomb.
And the reason we only have three
is because I also didn't wanna create a product
I felt it was inauthentic, to create something
that, like busy moms or anyone would have to just apply
into their routine that was extra.
So, I was like, "No, we just need
the products we already use,
infuse them with very high quality CBD,
make them clean, vegan, cruelty-free blah, blah, blah."
And I'm really happy with it.
This is my new baby this year.
And I've been so I'm proud of it.
- I'm such a fan of like, just you
and what you put out into the world.
You keep it real.
You keep it funny.
You keep it charming.
There's heart, there's humor.
And I don't know what I love more
than funny women, honestly.
- I wasn't planning on showing you this,
but you said keep it real,
and again, I'm competitive,
so now I'm like, how real are we gonna get?
I got dressed up for you, right?
'Cause I'm on television, this is now television,
but I didn't do as much as I could have because...
- [Drew] Yes.
(audience cheers)
(audience applauds)
Yes, I love it.
I love it.
(bright upbeat music)
