She makes awkward hilarious.

The lovely Eden Sher is my guest today.

Hello.

Hello, hotties.

Hello.

Hello.

I like I like that I make awkward hilarious.

You do.

She's on the middle, which everybody knows, right?

Um, and you play Sue Heck, who I think is kind of my spirit animal.

I mean, I can relate to her on so many different levels, as I think many people out there can as well.

Do you bring a lot of your own experience to playing her?

Uh, of course I do.

I don't, in my, when I'm doing it, it's awkward is not hilarious.

Awkward is awkward.

And then people think it's funny because they're probably, even if they're like, "Oh, I relate to that."

But I'm not as awkward as that.

That girl just fell on her face.

No, no.

That character is, is really relatable in a lot of ways.

So what's like the fan reaction that you get?

The reaction from like 12-year-old girls, which is I mean, I don't want to pick favorites.

I'll like, I'm so appreciative.

I'll, like, anyone who.

But they're your favorite.

But they're my favorite.

12-year-old girls, like, if you're a girl between the ages of 10 and 15, right here.

I don't want to I don't want to do this on my mic, but, like, mine, like, for real, you're my spirit animal.

There are huggies, yeah.

The reaction is usually, um, something like this.

Oh, um, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Uh, can I get it?

Uh, I really love I really love you.

And I'm always like, "I love you too.

Relax, girl."

Like, we're okay.

It's gonna be okay.

It gets better.

Exactly.

And, like, it'll get better for you.

It hasn't for me yet.

But I'm the same.

We're the same.

You figured it out pretty early that this is what you wanted to do.

What was that moment that that made you go, "Yes, I want to be a performer"?

Um, the moment when some when I got attention, and I was like, "Yes!

This is what I want to do."

And you were comfortable with telling people very personal things about yourself.

100%.

It was the one outlet that was kind of like That was something that made me very awkward.

Not just in high school, not just teenager, just forever, is just the like oversharing thing or, like, just being highly emotional and being like, "No I, like, stop that.

Stop that."

And then I just found this thing, this like outlet through which not only was I, like, allowed to be crazy, it was like encouraged.

I was like allowed to be like loud and just, like, extreme and, like, all over and, like, I got just sing and, like, twist around.

And so I, like,

Do you have an off button somewhere?

Is it

I don't know.

No.

No.

The answer is no.

If you find it, let me know.

I will.

So when I was, like, really little, I I don't know, like, four or five.

And then, 'cause I like I begged my mom for, like, years to let me get an agent.

'Cause then I, like, and I would see things on TV and just be like, "I can do it better than that!

I swear!"

And my mom was like, "No, you know, there's a lot of rejection."

I was like, "I can handle it."

And the thing is like, for some reason, for being as, like, awkward and, like, like I said, like, whatever, self-loathing and this and that, I was actually always really good at handling rejection, just in that one arena.

So that's how I was like, "Okay, if this is all it says, if this is, like, a combination of feeling all the feelings and, like, getting rejected a lot, bring it on."

And memorizing things, I love memorizing things.

Really?

Yeah.

What's the most impressive thing that you've memorized?

Besides your lines.

The periodic table of elements.

No way!

Antimony, Arsenic, Aluminum, Selenium, and Hydrogen and Oxygen, Nitrogen, Rhenium, Nickel, Neodymium, Neptunium, Germanium, Iron, Americium, Ruthenium, Uranium, Europium, Zirconium, Lutetium, Vanadium, Lanthanum, and Osmium, and Astatine, Radium.

Gold, Protactinium, and, damn it.

Oh, shoot.

Uh.

Wait.

Radium, Gold, Protactinium, and, oh, shoot.

Oh, I totally forgot the second half.

The second half is, like, Holmium and Helium, and Hafnium and Erbium, Phosphorus and Francium and Fluorine and Terbium, Manganese and Mercury, Molybdenum, Magnesium, Dysprosium, and Scandium, and Cerium, and Cesium, Lead, Praseodymium, Platinum, Plutonium.

Oh, my gosh.

I haven't done it in, like, two years.

That was boom.

Mic drop.

I think we could just end the interview there.

That was amazing.

You're also in the movie Temps.

Everyone in that movie is kind of going through a big change and it speaks to, I think, what a lot of millennials go through, just kind of figuring it out.

Was there ever a time that you were unsure of what you wanted to do, I mean, very similar to what's happening in in the movie?

I was never unsure of what I, like, wanted to do with my life, which there are there are two characters in it, and one of them is, like, super the guy is super, um, doesn't really know what he's doing with his life, and then the girl is much more, um, A-type and kind of, like, really driven.

And so, I feel like we've all seen that, like, in our friends, right?

Those are people we know.

Those are people we know.

Or or in our souls.

Or us.

Or they actually are us.

Yeah.

'Cause the movie is really good.

It kind of capt it totally captures the millennial dilemma.

This is a sentence that, um, I just, like, happened to, I, like, wrote down or it's in a a poem that I wrote.

feelings journal.

in my feelings journal, yeah.

A thing that I said that someone said was, "Yeah, you know, I'm just in, like, a really weird place right now."

And my friend read that and was like, "That sentence just, like, sums up everything."

And that's, again, that sort of is, like, that brings it back to Temps of just, like, everyone like, people are like, "I'm sorry.

Like, I can't really do this.

I'm just in, like, a really weird place right now."

But, like, everyone's in a really weird place right now.

We're all weird.

We all, like,

When will this end?

When when you report back to me when it does.

I'll try.

I'll tweet it at you.

Yes, please.

I'll be like, "It's over!"

Exclamation point, exclamation point.

Before we go, I wanted to play a little game called It's a Sher thing.

All right, so what's your favorite social media platform?

Probably Instagram.

Okay.

I like Instagram because no words are necessary.
