Anna Faris

We called each other last night. We have the same color scheme. You look amazing.

Bill Hader

Blue and black all the way at Comic Con. That's the way to go.

Anna Faris

You look better.

Bill Hader

No, no. Oh my God. I don't think you I could possibly look better than you. You look amazing.

Young Hollywood

Is this a person?

Anna Faris

This is Black Widow, Scarlet Johansson. I'm missing the red wig. Oh, awesome. This is my version.

Young Hollywood

I just need some gold paint and I'm going to be your Emmy statue.

Bill Hader

Oh, thank you very much.

Young Hollywood

Congratulations. That was my odd way of congratulating you on your nomination.

Bill Hader

Oh, no, I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Young Hollywood

Where were you when you found out the news?

Bill Hader

I was asleep, and Rob, right there, woke me up.

Young Hollywood

Rob, don't wake him up.

Bill Hader

Well, I guess there was a good reason. He woke me up at 5:45 and said, uh, he's my publicist, and he woke me up and said, hey, you got nominated for an Emmy. And you were back to sleep. And I went, oh, okay. And then I woke up and made coffee, and my wife and the kids, everyone was asleep. So I just sat there and was like, all right, well, what do I do with this information? I I just sat there and drank coffee and going to waited for people to wake up. And then, uh, then I had to go to the DMV. That was it.

Young Hollywood

The life of a Hollywood actor.

Bill Hader

That's what people say. I went to the DMV and I bought curtains. I mean, that's what I did. So, yeah.

Anna Faris

If we all work together, this should be easy as pie.

Young Hollywood

Oh, oh. Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. It's all about inventions. What is in your opinion, the best invention of all time?

Anna Faris

You know, it hasn't been invented yet. Oh. But I really want a silent hair dryer. That would be make me really, really happy.

Young Hollywood

What do you think the best invention of all time is?

Bill Hader

Well, it has to be the toilet, right? Like, wouldn't everyone disagree with that? Like, that's just number one on everyone's list, right?

Anna Faris

I thought french fries, but yeah, I guess you kind of no, forget it.

Bill Hader

No, I mean, it has to be the toilet. Like, if if guys from like the caveman came here, Yeah. they'd be like, what? This is great. You have a toilet? Right? This totally makes things better.

Anna Faris

The paper is even better than the toilet.

Bill Hader

Yeah, thank God.

Young Hollywood

So this film is all about food animals. Yeah. Did you have a particular favorite?

Bill Hader

It's hard to beat the tacodile. The tacodile supreme, I think, is pretty great. It's a big taco that feet and it, uh, yells like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. There is also a cheese spider. There's mosquito toast, there's shrimp panzees. Um, I know I'm missing so many.

Anna Faris

It's making me hungry in a weird in a very strange way.

Young Hollywood

I know. So this film is also about food. Food combinations. You are going to Subway. What is the Bill Hader sandwich special? What is the Anna Faris sandwich? What is do you have like a go-to?

Bill Hader

Oh, um. I just like turkey sandwich, provolone, uh, little lettuce.

Anna Faris

I like like turkey and ham combo with a lot of mayonnaise. That I don't know if that's gross. Mayonnaise is my favorite condiments.

Young Hollywood

What's your favorite?

Anna Faris

Yeah. It makes everything taste it makes every sandwich to live. It really does. But like a big one, yeah. It's the fun.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Oh, I like that you did it with your hand. It was almost like you were a sandwich artist there. It's like you sprinkle it on like pepper. You're like this thing, yeah, exactly. You're wearing the colors. You could actually work there.

Anna Faris

Yeah, I could. I I am. I'm going to work right after this. Yeah, but I was thinking, my husband and I were thinking about food fusion the other day and we came up with guacanouche.

Young Hollywood

What's that?

Anna Faris

Oh, yeah. Like Baba Ganoush? But it's guacamole. It sounds so disgusting, doesn't it? But it's a really funny thing to say.

Bill Hader

This is what happens when you work on this film. It's like a hybrids of things start popping up.

Anna Faris

Yeah, exactly.

Young Hollywood

And do you have a vocal warm-up? So I know a lot of voice actors do that kind of thing.

Bill Hader

No, my I just whine a lot. That's all I do. I just whine to the directors and they're like, Bill, come on, we need more energy from you, because I'm kind of always half asleep. So, and we were doing this, I was still on SNL, so I was just like always tired, you know.

Young Hollywood

Right. And on that note, we'll just go out very mellow.
