Everyone's so lively.
I think it was because of Sienna.
Oh my gosh, my heart about burst back there.
She's so cute.
And I love the Jonas Brothers.
They're very big in our house, they're very big in our house.
My husband is always telling--
we're always trying to tell our kids, look, we're very cool.
You don't think that right now, but let me just tell you
something, we're really cool.
And they're like no, and so to combat that my husband would--
and he makes like good pancakes or lifts something heavy,
he'll always look at them and go, oh, the Jonas Brothers wish
they could be me.
Oh, they wish they could be me.
And the other day my littlest, she was on the swing
and she jumped off at the height of the swing,
and she landed on the ground, and we
thought that she was going to cry,
and she turned and looked at us.
She goes, the Jonas Brothers wish they could be me.
Anyway.
I'm happy to be here.
I'm so happy to be with you.
You know what, I'm kind of a late bloomer to showbiz.
And I have to say, you and your husband Dax Shepard
are two of the coolest people I've ever met.
No joke.
Just the nicest, most grounded people in the world.
And we actually met about 10 or 12 years ago, one
of my first movies was Couples Retreat,
with you and Jason Bateman, and I played your therapist.
That's right.
That's correct.
It was amazing.
But we didn't get to know each other I think until post when
we were at the birthday party.
The big old birthday party.
Which if you don't know this, apparently I've never been
punctual in my life, but Ken is always punctual,
and we had got-- we were both invited to our friend Bradley
Cooper's birthday party, and this was how--
I mean, how many years ago?
I don't know, almost 10 years ago.
Yeah, yeah.
And the party said 7:30, somewhere in Santa Monica
a nice restaurant, and 7:29, Dax and I
are walking through the door, Ken and his lovely wife
are walking through the door, and we sit down
and we're like, hey, we'll grab a table together.
And then eight, and 8:30, 8:45.
And we're like well, did we get the date wrong?
No.
All the cool kids showed up like two hours late,
and we just ended up having a lovely dinner together.
It was amazing.
We had like a double date prior to the birthday party,
because nobody showed up till 9:00 PM.
God, I love you.
You know what, it's like, I just turned, you know--
I just turned 50, but it's fine.
That's a milestone.
Yeah, I look great.
I look great.
Yes.
I'm fine.
You know, what the old saying, black don't crack,
well Asian don't raisin.
Anyway, just saying.
I'm so jealous.
It's fine, it's fine.
But apparently like--
I turned 39 this year.
Amazing.
But again, my kids, again, just they--
they're so dumb.
And we-- I asked them on the morning of my birthday
how old they thought I was turning, and I said how would
you think mommy's turning, and the little one goes, um, 63?
And then I was like, OK.
She's four years old.
I can give her some credit there.
And then I looked at the older one who's
supposed to be like doing math in school,
and I said how old do you think mommy's turning, and she goes,
89?
Brutal.
They're brutal.
But I took it as a compliment, because I thought maybe
I just look great to them.
If they really loved you, you'd be like 185 or something.
Hopefully next year.
Next year I'll be turning 185.
Well that's a fun house you have.
I can just tell.
You, Dax and the kids.
It's nice but it's--
Laughs galore, huh?
Yeah, but you gotta stay on your toes.
Well, you know, because you have two girls.
When they're little and ours are--
they really keep us on our toes, because they're pranksters.
Which is like exhausting but I'm also like,
oh, you're developing a sense of comedy.
I love it.
But they previous things they've done,
they remember they used up a whole roll of scotch tape
and they taped gum to my chair.
It was unchewed, though.
Which I was like, I don't get it, but OK.
And it was just all these like pockets of bubble gum stuck
to the chair.
They've also-- what else have they done?
They got me real good.
We-- I was making dinner, they were being nice to each other.
I knew something was wrong.
And they said, mom, we want to cuddle in your room
before we go to sleep.
And I was like, OK.
But again, I'm so suspicious.
We walk into my bedroom, I pull back my sheets,
they have dumped easily a gallon of water onto my mattress.
It was saturated, and then tucked
into the sheets they also put pumpkins, because this
was like last week.
And a bunch of their dirty underwear.
And I was like, ha.
And they're laughing-- they are like spitting up
they're laughing so hard.
And then I like tried to shake it off,
and then I sat them down and we had a very-- a conversation
a serious one about thinking about how much cleanup
the prankee will have to do after a prank.
So they can do the pranks, but they've always done it.
They they've always done it.
Wow, don't give my kids any ideas.
You know, what I'm talking about girls?
Look at how excitable they are.
Anyway, more with Kristen Bell after this.
