The view starts live

0:03

right now. Box

0:06

trapped? Will a former producer

0:09

for Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartaramo

0:12

complicate the network's defense in Dominion's

0:14

ongoing lawsuit against them

0:16

with claims she was coerced by

0:18

Fox lawyers to give misleading

0:21

testimony about the repeated election

0:23

fraud

0:24

lies. Said they we talked about

0:26

the dominion software. I know that

0:28

there were voting irregularities. It

0:31

will be impossible to

0:33

ever know the true,

0:35

fair, accurate election general

0:37

results.

0:38

And after leaked texts proclaiming

0:40

he hates Trump with a passion, Carson

0:43

Cozy's back up to the former president

0:46

I love Trump. Then writer,

0:48

director, and actor, Zach Braff, is

0:51

live to share how he's bringing

0:53

a good person to the big

0:55

screen. Plus, actor

0:57

activist and broadcaster Jamila

0:59

Jamila is weighing in on

1:01

hot topics and talking about

1:03

getting celebs to tell all about

1:05

their most disastrous date.

1:09

Here come hot topics

1:11

with movie. Sarah

1:15

Haynes. Anna Navarro.

1:18

Joy Bayhart. Sunny

1:21

Austin, and alyssa

1:24

Vera Griffin. Now,

1:27

let's get things started.

1:57

Hello, and welcome to the New. Alyssa

2:00

is not here because, unfortunately, She

2:02

has

2:03

COVID. Oh. So yeah. It's

2:05

still around.

2:05

So meet our COVID-nineteen. That's

2:07

right.

2:08

Here I am. So feel better

2:10

in tune in tomorrow when US

2:13

surgeon general Vivek Murphy

2:15

gives us the latest on the COVID crisis

2:17

and other health care issues. We got

2:20

some questions. Mhmm. And I want

2:22

to start this with this alpidate. You

2:25

know who is still at large. He

2:29

is. Yes, he

2:30

is. He has has he has he has he been

2:32

arrested? No. Like you predicted. Well,

2:34

you know, you kinda have

2:36

to weigh it with all the other stuff he said.

2:39

And you figure, well, you know,

2:41

you said you won the election you didn't weigh. Good

2:44

point. You said they come and arrest you,

2:46

take the arrest.

2:46

I said that to Joy. Why would we start believing

2:49

him now? It's like --

2:49

Yeah. -- it is kind of great point. He

2:51

manipulated everybody. The we we all

2:54

rose to the occasion, the papers, everybody

2:56

just went there. So many people were

2:57

excited. Liar.

2:59

Yeah. Is

3:01

a liar. Are you shocked?

3:03

No. It annoys me every time. I know.

3:07

I know. You were a very

3:09

surety, and I just want to lick your

3:11

shoulders.

3:13

Well, don't forget Sunny's dress. It's beautiful.

3:16

I knew

3:16

that the gentleman had a

3:17

fall asleep on her dress. It is a

3:20

flower. It is a flower or

3:22

a flower

3:23

with

3:24

a pissed a look.

3:24

Shouting out how you went to hours.

3:26

The shiny waxy red's hours. Nobody knows

3:28

what you're talking about. It's a piece of corn with pepperoni's

3:31

disease. I

3:33

knew it was gonna happen when I walked

3:34

out. Alright. I

3:37

don't wanna shock you or anything, but

3:39

if that looks like a phallic to you,

3:41

we need to talk. But

3:46

in other legal news, Fox

3:49

News hands back to court

3:51

for the ongoing lawsuit Dominion

3:54

Voting Systems filed against them.

3:58

I'm so sorry. I just

4:00

there's something about this that tickles me. Why?

4:02

Yeah. Well, because it's like

4:05

you went out there day after day after

4:07

day and said it's the machines and the machines

4:09

and this, and they turn people into masks

4:11

and they do terrible things and it turns

4:13

out the machine didn't do

4:15

anything. That's right. And the machine did What

4:17

it was to do? They connected

4:19

No. That's what this Yeah. They they put all so

4:21

and, you know, and their defense

4:24

couldn't be complicated. By a

4:26

form of female producer for the Technicoloration

4:29

and Maria Bartolomo show

4:31

who claims that Fox News lawyers co

4:34

worst her into giving misleading testimony

4:37

about network stars repeatedly pushing

4:39

election fraud lies. She

4:41

also filed a suit of the

4:43

toxic, misogynistic

4:47

climate. She claims She was

4:49

exposed to at the network. So

4:52

which door

4:53

should Fox be more concerned about?

4:57

It's a bit an SYS OF RICHES

4:59

AT THIS POINT. IT'S JUST YES.

5:02

YOU KNOW, SHE SAID THAT SHE

5:04

DIDN'T THINK PEOPLE NEEDED TO

5:06

CORRECT

5:07

wrong information. So I'm just senior

5:09

producers. Yeah. They did not have to

5:11

correct. Mythleading and stuff.

5:14

Nobody hear that. Let them

5:15

have at it. I say, let them go

5:17

at it until there's no more

5:19

to go after. I think she's pretty a little

5:21

concerned because with It said

5:24

testimony in our research,

5:26

which means she testified somewhere whether

5:28

it be deposition or a grand jury.

5:31

And the penalty for perjury, at

5:33

least federally is about five

5:35

years. Prosecutors get really pissed

5:37

when you lie to them. Yeah. And so I know

5:39

she may be saying that, like,

5:41

Fox made her live,

5:44

but she's still live. Yeah. So she's gotta

5:46

be little concerned as well. And as far as

5:48

blaming the fact that she's a

5:49

woman, I mean, there's always

5:51

a four

5:52

guy. She's been over second. She

5:54

works at Fox. And she's shocked by

5:56

seconds. I that's that's what that's the other

5:58

point. How many other point? People have

6:00

watched their

6:01

jobs over there. Do you want their errands and

6:03

Bill O'Reilly to men, but two -- Yeah. --

6:05

if you For for sexual harassment, It was I

6:07

mean, what shows have a little break? Well, and you

6:09

watched the movie, Bombshell, and a lot of people that worked

6:11

at Fox said, you know, that's not a

6:13

stretch. That's where it is. So It's definitely

6:16

dealing with misogyny. There were posters

6:18

up of Nancy Pelosi in their news in

6:20

one of the shows with her in a plunging baby

6:22

see what she

6:23

works there. Yeah.

6:23

And then they also had, like, a mock

6:25

I mean, that's a business in a bathing suit.

6:27

Yeah. And they made fun of her female

6:29

producer. Yeah. Well, then they also had, like, a

6:31

mock trial to decide which

6:33

Michigan governor that was running. They'd

6:35

rather have sex with. Now, the weird

6:37

thing is I've worked at two major networks and

6:39

the news floorers are really

6:41

sterile. They're a bit boring. There's

6:43

nothing going on. People are

6:44

very sterile. They're not. Well, that

6:47

that argues you would call Fox a News organization

6:50

-- Okay. -- where I have worked a news organization.

6:52

But -- Yeah. -- they are so the

6:54

ethics and the lawyers and the hovering and

6:57

can we say this? Can we do this? It's so

6:59

controlled that to imagine a place

7:01

where they're doing

7:02

this, it doesn't shock me that it's there.

7:04

It shocked me, it's still there, though, little bit

7:06

that you're getting away with this kind of I can

7:08

say because I did work there. Sorry,

7:11

everyone. But you would walk

7:13

in and on each floor,

7:16

depending on the show, they would have

7:18

a whiteboard that would stand, and

7:20

some of them were posted, and there'd

7:23

be like three points. And you would see those

7:25

points over and over again on show. It was like I

7:27

hate

7:27

Obama. Yeah. Obama

7:31

is whatever.

7:32

How long ago?

7:33

About year.

7:34

And so did you tear down those points?

7:37

That was my job.

7:38

Was to

7:39

be on Bill O'Reilly's show and argue

7:41

with Megyn Kelly about those

7:42

points. Oh, I see. I think I I guess

7:44

that's it her most of the time. But

7:47

and we know about Meghan. But

7:49

I I think that that is

7:52

business as usual, stocks. Yes. Statements.

7:55

Oh, I have a legal note.

8:00

In a statement, a Fox SOLLS

8:03

WOMAN SAID FOX NEWS

8:05

MEDIA ENGAGED AN INDEPENDENT OUTSIDE

8:07

COUNCIL TO IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATE THE

8:10

CONCERNS. Conraised by miss

8:12

Grossberg, which were made following

8:14

critical performance review. Her

8:16

allegations in connection with the Dominion case

8:18

are baseless, and we will vigorously

8:21

defend Fox against all of

8:23

her

8:23

claims. She also claims they were anti

8:25

Semitic, by

8:26

the way. Yeah. To say There were a lot of claims in

8:28

our Yeah. Okay.

8:31

We'll be right back.

8:40

Tomorrow on the view, we shot

8:42

the enterprise, LaBarbara and his

8:44

daughter, Lisa, are hitting the hot topics

8:47

table. I saved right on.

8:49

I'm excited. America's the number one

8:51

daytime hot show. Is ABC's

8:53

the view.

9:01

So welcome back. Reality

9:05

star, Braff Has

9:08

had her share of cosmetic procedures

9:12

when she was younger. But

9:14

lately, she's been having all of her

9:16

filters removed and

9:19

telling her Instagram followers why.

9:22

Take a look.

9:25

And besides I did it when I was so young,

9:27

I didn't even give my body, like, time to

9:29

fully develop. So

9:31

we try to do these things at a very

9:33

young age, this trust me is gonna come.

9:36

You're gonna get the snack space that you need.

9:40

So will people

9:42

listen? I'm not listening.

9:47

Just yesterday, I had fillers and the other

9:50

shots that I had something called Kieran

9:52

Brodant? Thank you, Dr. And

9:55

I mean And I look so good

9:57

for a hundred and teen years old. This

10:00

is not natural. Okay? I

10:03

did yesterday. They did a which

10:06

puts collagen back in your face than they

10:08

did this, than

10:08

this, and fabulous. I had some Botox

10:11

yesterday also. It works.

10:13

But if Matt Gates could do it, I can

10:15

Exactly. But I will

10:18

say, what I liked about her point

10:20

is, like, she started doing these things,

10:22

I think, at nineteen or the ATM.

10:24

Was really young. Your face hasn't fully

10:26

developed. You already have that really

10:28

round, pretty, you know, that

10:30

The left side of it. Face.

10:32

Face that miss. People are trying that

10:34

I miss. The people are trying to get. So

10:36

I don't III hope people will

10:38

listen to her because I read that the fillers

10:41

when you do them that young, they

10:44

weren't up to the quality that they --

10:46

Yeah. So

10:46

maybe stretch the skin. -- and they stretch just needs

10:48

it all. And they and they move. Yeah.

10:51

Because of

10:52

What? Science wasn't where it was before.

10:54

Well, what it reminded me of is like a bad

10:57

spring break tattoo. Like, you know, it sounds

10:59

like a great idea when you're

11:01

twenty. Like, you know, let's all get

11:03

matching tattoos, you

11:04

know, and all of a sudden you're like, maybe

11:06

that wasn't a good idea that's here forever. So

11:08

I tend to think like that she's

11:11

undoing her face the way some people will look back

11:13

at when they tattooed someone's

11:14

name, never tattoo a name. Those all agree

11:16

on that ring. Course your breasts

11:18

or something. Did you do that? I didn't do it. Oh, okay.

11:20

I was like, I had a friend that did it. But

11:22

also, she's so

11:23

beautiful. She's beautiful. Yeah. But,

11:25

you know, why would she think through that? I don't know how

11:27

girls are. They don't never think they're pretty enough. They

11:29

don't I know a famous actress who actually

11:32

got a facelift when she was like thirty. Really

11:34

not because she wanted to look younger, but

11:37

because she wanted to look

11:38

prettier, which it did make her look prettier.

11:40

But in NASH, it really rarely makes

11:42

people look prettier or younger, they look done.

11:45

Like, now we want this

11:46

done. I'll walk around a room and they all look

11:48

the same. There's no unique qualities, there's

11:50

no every set of lips looks the same.

11:52

Every you know, like I am in favor of it.

11:54

I don't get that lip thing. That hurts, first of

11:56

all, and then you can suck a lemon across the room

11:58

with that.

12:03

Well, I well,

12:05

best people trying to copy

12:08

the natural black beauty that a

12:10

lot of black women have. But

12:12

I I that's probably true.

12:13

Yeah. But but I'm white woman. It looks crazy.

12:15

Watch sunny. She'll suck a lemon across her house.

12:19

You know. But I think that

12:22

what's I'm in favor of

12:24

whatever makes you feel good about

12:26

yourself. Yes. And

12:28

you have money. And you have no money. You should

12:31

do it because you put on a mind No. -- of

12:33

course. But

12:33

it it changes the way you move in the world, I

12:35

think. When when you Having feel

12:37

better about yourself. Oh, well,

12:40

look, we've had this conversation about

12:42

you make more money, if you're more attractive, you

12:44

get more jobs when you look younger, all

12:46

of that plays into this big I

12:49

mean, this big hoax that's being perpetrated

12:51

on me. Right now, the women.

12:53

You know, it's true though. That's the those

12:55

are the studies. Thank

12:57

you. There

13:00

you have.

13:16

I mean, I don't know if you remember stepping

13:19

on a scale to get weighed

13:21

at school. Those days aren't over

13:23

apparently. It still happens. In

13:25

forty percent of schools across America

13:27

as part of fitness checks that are

13:29

sent home to parents. But according to data

13:32

tracking from California and Massachusetts,

13:35

Schools, these

13:37

checks don't seem to have any impact

13:39

on a child's weight. Right. And

13:42

they even claim that it's giving kids

13:44

body

13:44

issues. So why are the why are you

13:46

still why are we still doing it? You know,

13:49

I I don't understand. If as adults, we

13:51

know weight is not huge indicator for health or

13:53

wellness, and weight can vary so much. Why would

13:55

we hold kids to that standard? Because when

13:57

I look at, like, this is anecdotal, but my

14:00

youngest son is really big and he's off the charts.

14:02

And I asked the doctor, I said, you know,

14:04

should I be concerned, like, all joking aside?

14:06

And she was like, when I explained what he

14:08

ate, she goes, nope, it's just his genetics. And

14:11

so when you compare two kids at certain

14:13

times, WAIT IS NOT GOING TO

14:15

BE THE DISTRIGISHING FACTOR AND IF YOUR CHILD

14:17

IS OVERWAIT, YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW AND YOU

14:19

DON'T NEED

14:21

THEM TO BE WAID IN SCHOOL TOLD YOU

14:23

SHOULD handled. That's

14:24

traumatic for the child, especially if you do

14:26

it in front of the other kids. I mean, what what do they box

14:28

It's

14:28

traumatic for a new way for the

14:30

children. You know, it's not like a boxing

14:32

match where they have to weigh Muhammad Ali.

14:34

Right? Yeah. It's a kid, and then

14:36

the kids know how much you

14:38

weigh. I don't mind it if the kids did not

14:40

know what you weigh. They don't waste you in front of

14:42

them. I think the process would be so

14:44

could be anxiety, written, and

14:47

and if you're overweight, you know you're overweight,

14:49

especially as a kid, with social media

14:51

and all this nonsense going on.

14:54

I don't remember ever being weighed, but I think

14:56

this is like shame based. I

14:58

don't like it. But I do think that because

15:00

there's so much obesity now in our country,

15:02

especially amongst children

15:03

actually, this should be done at a doctor's

15:06

office. That leaves. Well,

15:07

usually even the nurse is off.

15:09

First of all, if

15:09

no. I mean, out of the schools, I'm sorry. Peter,

15:12

if you're concerned about your child's weight

15:14

and the school is concerned, Maybe

15:17

folks should get together and make sure that

15:19

the food they're getting for perhaps breakfast

15:22

and lunch is more

15:24

towards what we want to see our kids. Like,

15:26

female Oliver, does he know something else? Cool.

15:28

But we don't want to -- We

15:31

don't want to give them free for as people bitch

15:33

and moan about having to pay for free

15:35

lunches for you know, but a lot of families

15:38

can only do once or twice.

15:40

A day. Yeah. Why if you're

15:42

going to weigh the child and

15:45

you want that information? Why not help

15:47

the parents get to the SNAP program even

15:49

though SNAP keeps, you know, they keep

15:52

taking money away from it. You know,

15:54

we always say, you know, we I listen to

15:56

these parents talk about what children

15:58

need in protecting kids. And then I watched

16:00

folks just damn them.

16:03

You know? They just damn the kids. And

16:05

I I don't I I don't understand.

16:07

And this apparently has it

16:09

has nothing has nothing to do

16:11

with anything because the information is

16:14

not going back to the to

16:16

the

16:16

See, I

16:16

thought it was gonna go to, like, the the pediatricians

16:19

No. It's not going to it's you

16:21

know, in the site I if you'd like to get on sale

16:23

of the doctor's office, I always say, I'll tell you what

16:26

I weigh. I don't know. Well,

16:29

you know, I I think if there's way

16:31

to do a hundred floods out.

16:32

That's not

16:33

a machine. They also put soda

16:35

machines and snack machines in schools

16:37

and expect that kids are gonna not deal with

16:39

obesity. Like -- Yeah. -- they don't take the like you

16:41

said, comprehensive approach to teaching the kids,

16:43

also presenting food options

16:46

and helping parents. Yes. Parents

16:48

I'm sorry. What wait. Hold on. Rob's talk. Right?

16:50

Yes. Right. What what

16:51

do you want about? That's all he ever said. He's

16:53

always saying goodbye. Yeah.

16:56

But that's okay because we always come back.

17:14

What about an actual writer of directors

17:16

that crowd's latest movie,

17:18

a good person follows two people,

17:21

shattered by the same tragedy, who find

17:23

each other again in a substance

17:25

abuse program and not a moment

17:28

too

17:28

soon. Take a look.

17:39

Allison, don't go. This

17:43

was a mistake. No. No one isn't.

17:46

Trust me. I know how

17:48

hard it is to get here. It's

17:50

damn near impossible and you did

17:52

it. Don't run away now because

17:54

of me. There are

17:55

thousands of meetings. I'll find another one.

17:57

Wow. Yeah. But this one has the best snacks.

18:00

I wanna go.

18:01

18:03

and I wouldn't.

18:04

I know I'll be here.

18:06

Nobody does in the beginning.

18:08

I don't want me anywhere. Then

18:10

you are definitely in the right spot.

18:12

Please welcome. Thank

18:27

18:34

Thank

18:34

you so much for having me.

18:35

Thank you. Really nice to have you. Yeah. Here.

18:37

Oh, I have the same I have the first question. I just

18:40

have to say, Sarah

18:42

and I love the movie. And Sarah's already crying.

18:44

I know she just seen the one scene. Oh

18:46

my god. And I powerful movie it's

18:48

a bit. It's very powerful. I I wanted to

18:50

see something very light and airy, but

18:52

I got into it, and then and then you made me cry

18:55

too. So thanks. But The last time

18:57

we saw you -- Yeah. -- you were on our show

18:59

with your best friend Scruggs CoStar and

19:01

Podcast. Oh, hey, Donald speaking.

19:03

Yeah. There we are.

19:05

I remember because he was in his closet.

19:07

Yeah. We do a podcast called fake doctors real

19:09

friends where we rewatch scrubs, and he's he's

19:11

kids and it's so loud. So he he does

19:13

the reporting in his closet. He was

19:16

in his closet. I saw lot of sneakers,

19:18

but it was in May twenty twenty. So

19:20

it was over Zoom, of course. You were such

19:22

a bright light during such

19:24

a dark time, and you two were

19:26

so excited for the first few minutes of that interview.

19:30

People here were saying was, like, two puppies in a

19:32

crib. It was was amazing.

19:33

Well, we love the show. We love you guys. I also

19:35

have to say that, you know, whoopi Goldberg is holds

19:38

a very special place in in both of our

19:40

hearts. Color one thing that I'm in common

19:42

is the color purple is one of our favorite movies

19:44

of all times. We

19:47

get very giddy. We get very giddy.

19:51

Yeah. She should have won the Oscar for that.

19:54

Yes.

19:54

Absolutely. You should get it. They should

19:56

give it to you now. Give it to you. Retrospectively.

19:59

Yeah. Yeah. That

19:59

whole thing. So you and Donald phase on. Is

20:01

that what he says on? Yeah. Okay. You did a Super

20:03

Bowl commercial together last year. Yeah. And

20:05

again, this year, but this time with

20:08

an additional cast

20:08

member, Yeah.

20:09

Oh, John Travolta. We both

20:11

love musicals a lot.

20:12

Before you let's look at the clip. Oh, sorry.

20:14

Yeah. Yeah. Let's see the clip. Wait. So you see?

20:18

Tell me more Tell me more. One

20:20

chord's all that you need. Tell me

20:22

more. Tell me more. Don't you worry

20:24

about

20:25

speed. Oh,

20:29

yeah.

20:30

I mean, Travolta, to me, is one

20:32

of the best dancers in the movie.

20:33

You said, great dance,

20:34

Jay Travolta, I had to dance. There was some choreography,

20:36

but Travolta was like, no. No. No. Let's do it and

20:38

he kinda took over

20:39

the street. But he was incredible. You know, we

20:41

don't line both love musical theater and

20:43

to be sitting there recreating Greece

20:46

WITH BOLTON WAS JUST A LIFE

20:48

DREAM COME

20:48

TRUE. SO I DO THAT EVERY TIME I DO KARIO

20:51

KEEP. SO BUT NO,

20:53

WE DO NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS

20:55

credible new

20:55

movie. You wrote it and

20:58

directed it. Yeah. A good

20:59

person. And I think it's beyond the

21:01

emotions because it runs the spectrum. There

21:03

is a authorists in this film. Mhmm. That's

21:05

like a full circle moment. So it

21:07

was beyond every emotion. And I have to

21:09

say, I love Morgan Freeman, but Florence

21:11

this was the most powerful performance I

21:13

have seen.

21:15

The the the scenes of her and and But she's

21:17

gonna start crying again. I SHE TRUSTINE,

21:20

LIKE HAVING ABOUT -- I CRIME TALKING OF EVERY TIME

21:22

I HAVE TALKED TO THE PRODUCER. I START CRIME --

21:24

IT IS -- VERY FEW MOVIES HAVE

21:26

THIS EFFECT ON ME AND THIS ONE I was

21:28

a garden state fan and I wasn't expecting garden

21:31

state, but like -- Yeah.

21:32

-- this is like a whole underground. The

21:35

writing, the directing

21:37

the performances.

21:38

Like, it's just I Thank

21:41

you so much. Yeah. It's really it's a gift to

21:43

have these two incredible performers. I mean, I think

21:45

she's the most young exciting young actress

21:47

of her generation. Mhmm. And he's, of course, the legend

21:50

that he is. So as a director and

21:52

a writer to have two of them go toe

21:54

to

21:54

toe. It was just it's miraculous

21:56

and I think they they're Jamil together. But where

21:59

did you get all the start? How did you end writing about

22:01

this because addiction and grief are themes

22:03

we see, like, so powerfully in

22:05

this. Like, what was the beginning

22:07

or the impetus for this? To be honest, I

22:09

I lost a a lot of people in the last four years.

22:11

I lost my my sister to an aneurysm and

22:13

then I lost my father to cancer. And

22:16

then during COVID, my best

22:18

friend, it was it was publicized because he was famous

22:20

Broadway

22:20

actor. My best friend, Nick Cordero, got

22:22

COVID at forty

22:23

one dollars. Right. And and

22:25

he was living in my guest house in Los Angeles.

22:28

So I had front row seat to the horror

22:30

of it. And so when I sat down and locked

22:32

down to write something, that's

22:34

what came up for me. What came up was

22:36

Braff. And how do we how do we as human beings

22:38

stand back up from grief? And

22:41

the Don't we stand back? Do we and

22:43

and the power of friendship, the power of love, and

22:45

sometimes that comes from from someone

22:47

you wouldn't expect it to. And so that's what

22:49

kind of came out of me. Like, this incredible friendship,

22:51

two people who are grieving in their own corners

22:53

and really need someone. And just

22:56

the fate kind of brings them together save

22:58

each other from themselves. And and the

23:00

fact that that was this young incredible

23:02

launch in new Florence Pugh and Morgan

23:04

Freeman, I I wrote it for Florence

23:06

and and and that's how it loads the genesis

23:08

of it. The because it was

23:11

the fascination is the way the stories kind of

23:13

cross, but, like, the simplicity of so many of the

23:15

scenes that make you feel the most it's just

23:17

so raw. Yeah. But

23:19

how did you dealt with a lot of grief, but

23:21

the addiction element is also very

23:24

that that's a huge part of

23:25

this. Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people

23:28

watching I imagine can relate to knowing someone

23:30

or having someone in their life who battles this,

23:32

particularly with the opioid epidemic. And it

23:34

just felt like a very, you know, current

23:36

thing to to to write about. And it is something

23:39

that happens to a lot of people. They they're involved

23:41

in an in an accident let's say, and

23:43

they need opioids -- Yeah. -- legitimately for

23:45

physical pain. But then they get addicted to

23:47

them and they get stuck on them and they're very, very hard

23:49

to get off

23:49

of. I forgot

23:50

Molly Shannon's in this since we're both phenomenon. And

23:52

I also wanna mention before we I know it

23:54

sounds very heavy and very muffling, but

23:56

there's a lot of humans out there. There's

23:59

laugh. Yeah.

23:59

Yeah. And thanks to Molly Shannon who brings a lot

24:01

of

24:03

Yeah. Yeah. like her. She's Sarah is still

24:05

crying, but she's a Morgan. On.

24:07

And you took Morgan to a different place

24:10

than we've seen in quite some

24:11

time. Yeah. How much fun was that?

24:13

Well, he's tough as you know. I think he's a gruff

24:15

man, but he really likes me. We made a comedy

24:18

together a few years back called Going In

24:20

Style. Right. And and and

24:22

so we bonded that there's a clip from there's a

24:24

shot from it. And we we bonded and he really liked

24:26

me. And what that did was it gave

24:29

him trust he trusted me.

24:31

Mhmm. And I had to of

24:32

course, I had to give myself a pep talk in the mirror every

24:35

morning. Like, you got this. Don't be intimidated by mister

24:37

Freeman. Yeah.

24:39

But he trusted me will be. And think

24:41

that that's why he was I was able

24:43

to push him to give the performance he gives because

24:46

I I may be

24:46

biased, but I think it's one of the finest performances

24:49

this year in a year. It is. Oh, it was very long time.

24:51

It is. Very long time. You

24:54

know, you you said already that you wrote this this

24:56

part for Florence, Pew,

24:58

and and she knocks it out of the park,

25:00

obviously. But we haven't

25:02

seen her in a role like this before. Yeah.

25:04

And she sings. Yeah.

25:06

How did that make it into the

25:08

film? Well, you know, we were we were partners

25:10

at the time. We did lockdown together. And

25:12

I knew that that she sang in real music.

25:15

It's it's almost like someone writing in a diary.

25:17

When she was going through something, she would noodles

25:19

on the piano or or the guitar, and she

25:21

would write songs to sort

25:23

of help her cope. Mhmm. And

25:25

I thought and I was writing. So I thought, oh, I'm

25:27

gonna I'm gonna put that in the script. That's so interesting.

25:30

And so then when Florence got the

25:32

script, she then took it

25:34

and wrote the two songs that a characteristic.

25:37

Character as the person. Yeah. Which is as

25:39

a director is something you never get to experience.

25:41

So the two songs that the character sings were

25:43

were written by Laurent's in

25:45

character.

25:45

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. They're great songs

25:47

too. The soundtrack, that's something in Garden

25:50

State and this one that is so pronounced you

25:52

find yourself in a great movie stopping, and

25:54

kept thinking, this song, this song, and I

25:56

thought, you hit all the layers. But I'm not

25:58

gonna You gotta just

25:59

say, oh, I'm in that half. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But We

26:01

are

26:01

releasing the soundtrack for what it's worth.

26:03

Oh, good. Yeah. That's amazing. But New Jersey

26:05

also plays a huge part. Your Jersey boy

26:07

Yeah. -- proud. You even gotta go

26:09

back and shoot in your old high

26:11

school. Yeah. brought Morgan Freeman to my

26:13

high school. Oh,

26:15

yeah. There's a picture. Look. There's

26:17

him laughing at a picture tell you. Yeah.

26:20

I mean yeah. I mean, what I Did they weigh

26:22

you? What's that?

26:24

You're talking about being weighed in schools or No.

26:26

No. No. I didn't want us for weighed. You

26:30

know, I I really wanted to to to write

26:32

something authentic and raw, and I thought there there

26:34

was almost safety net. If I put it into

26:36

place, I really knew so well. Like, I know that

26:38

school. When I when you when you're a writer and you're

26:40

writing high school, you're writing your high school. I

26:42

thought, well, why don't I just go shoot in my high school?

26:44

You write And there's a there's pond in a little

26:47

pond in the movie. That was where I used to go as little

26:49

boy with my little remote control boat. And I

26:51

thought, I'm gonna bring Morgan Freeman to my

26:53

childhood duck

26:54

pond. And

26:54

why not? My childhood duck pond. Yes. Why

26:56

not? You know, listen. It it it

26:59

it's not a lot of people that get to make

27:01

magic happen in their lives the way that we

27:03

do as actors. Yeah. So this watching

27:05

this was quite extraordinary.

27:08

And really great to see you doing.

27:10

This this was yours. Yeah. And

27:13

I loved it.

27:13

27:43

Pro Shield, the most photographed woman

27:45

in the world. Iconic american beauty.

27:48

A sexualized child model,

27:50

exploitation, vulnerable. She

27:52

catapulted into the world of adult sexuality.

27:55

I'm amazed

27:57

that I survived

27:57

any of it. What happened to her

27:59

isn't me about or is it just about

28:02

women? I was just born with this face.

28:04

I wanted to think about the things that could have happened

28:06

without beauty.

28:17

Welcome back, directivist, Jamila

28:19

Jamila, always has plenty to say

28:21

around hot topics when she hits this

28:23

table. She's also hosting a new

28:25

podcast bad dates where

28:27

she and some famous friends share

28:30

ugly details of the nights. They

28:32

probably should have just stayed home.

28:34

Please welcome back to Milligan Mill.

28:52

Am. One off.

28:54

I like it. It's subtle, but it says it. I'm

28:56

so thank you. I'm shy.

28:59

I'll go back to the show. It's always a pleasure to

29:01

in

29:01

here. Yeah. So let's just jump in because you've got

29:03

everyone talking about their bad dates

29:05

now on your

29:06

podcast. So but

29:08

what made you decide to do that? Talk about little

29:10

bit. I mean, the podcast came about

29:12

because my former landlord came

29:15

up with it, and I you know what?

29:17

It it pays to be a good tenant for more

29:19

reasons than one. Enjoyed

29:21

reliving there and enjoyed me as a person.

29:23

That sounds sexual. It wasn't. Mhmm.

29:26

And and he came to me with this

29:28

concept because he feels like It

29:30

is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter how

29:32

rich or hot or smart

29:34

or funny or cool you are. Nobody.

29:36

None of you are safe. From

29:38

a bad date. Yeah. It's so true. And it's such

29:41

a contagious

29:41

subject. Yeah. Like leads to people sharing

29:43

and

29:44

over And you

29:45

remember Do you have that if you're

29:47

remembering it right now? Remembering

29:48

one right now. Yeah. But do you have that

29:50

many bet friends who've been on bad dates? Oh,

29:52

yeah. don't have mail in Hands up. Who's had a bad

29:54

day in this audience? Right? There we go.

29:57

I mean, that's an overwhelming. And also

29:59

for those who think they haven't had bad

30:01

date, maybe you or someone else's bad date.

30:03

Oh, that's true. TO COMMENT

30:06

HOP. THAT IS

30:06

SO TRUE. NOW I KNOW

30:09

THE ANSWER THIS, BECAUSE I HAVE LISTENED BUT HAVE YOU BEEN

30:11

ON MANY DISASTROUS STATES? I

30:14

have only been on few dates because I didn't

30:16

kiss anyone till I was twenty one, not for

30:18

lack of trying. I was throwing it out there.

30:21

No one wanted to cut I

30:24

am what you would call a serial erection

30:27

killer. I would have

30:29

my own, like, Netflix document

30:31

different areas about all the all the directions

30:34

I've had. I don't I don't I don't but

30:36

no, I can't. But in the short amount

30:38

time at which I did day. I had a

30:40

series of terrible

30:41

dates. But this show is not about, like, trauma.

30:43

It's not about

30:44

Is it the accent that makes it just flop

30:46

No. It's the personality. My

30:49

sister's personality. No. It's

30:51

not. Was that? I no.

30:53

Sista, I think it's generally the personality. Like,

30:55

I'm I'm a tricky. Like, don't believe this.

30:58

You're self deprecating. You're a second cash.

31:00

I don't I I don't know. Like, let's say, you'll

31:02

see. Okay. Asking you out officially

31:04

on

31:05

television. Sometimes, men don't like a strong

31:07

woman. They don't. It

31:08

wouldn't like A51. You would say

31:10

that

31:10

she's hilarious.

31:10

I it's not like I had every guy at my fingertips

31:13

now.

31:14

If you like that, that's enough. If you like that, that's not enough.

31:16

If you like

31:17

that, everybody will die. History

31:18

is tricky. Yeah. You

31:20

don't need to make me feel better about it. Wow. Wow.

31:22

Wow. Wow. Okay. Well, let's update

31:25

you on that point. It's just it's just It

31:27

was just never in the car to me. Like, I I

31:29

wait three months before I kiss or have sex

31:31

with

31:31

someone. So it's like the Hunger Games trying to

31:33

get to my feet. Yeah. Like, it's ridiculous.

31:36

III

31:37

was little bit about that on someone. You're

31:39

supposed to wait. no. I'm not even doing it

31:41

in that way. Oh, I'm just like I just don't

31:44

want see your until I'm ready.

31:47

Yeah. And

31:50

that's fair. I I'm

31:52

sorry.

31:54

And that is and that is

31:56

fair. Well,

31:58

let's move on to a lot of people can relate

32:01

to that. Why is I'm all dignified last

32:03

time. Sorry. I need to move on now because I'm

32:05

looking at the one Don't don't look at

32:07

them. I've got to look at I'm looking at our executive

32:09

producer who looks like he's

32:10

about to die. So let me behind.

32:13

Now So this was about to die about

32:15

ten minutes. Yeah. So let's move

32:16

like, I'm behind now. Now that's We're

32:18

gonna move on. Now that you've heard all of

32:21

these dating horror stories, do you have

32:23

any

32:23

suggestions? Mhmm. Right? For

32:25

those watching our show now, any red

32:28

flags to

32:28

avoid. Well, you heard one. Yeah.

32:30

I heard one. Look, that

32:32

everyone has their own different individual red

32:35

flags. I think therapy is key for

32:37

all of us to spare each other from

32:39

bad dates. Mhmm. And my only

32:41

dating advice out there is just never,

32:44

ever, and I've learned this from the podcast. Ever,

32:48

trust a heart. Don't

32:50

do it. Don't do it. It's

32:52

not your friend. You think it's your friend.

32:54

It's not. It ends up that did you say a a

32:56

fart? A fart? A fart is so much pretty dumb.

32:59

Trust it. He means don't trust it.

33:00

Like, you're angry. In front of someone. No. No.

33:02

No. No. It's it It

33:05

becomes something else sometimes, and we

33:07

just don't need to get into it because this morning

33:09

television. Okay. But you know what I'm saying? Too late.

33:11

Don't make me say it. Well,

33:13

we can pivot to something that

33:15

you're very passionate about beyond. I'm

33:17

a unbelievable segue. But basically,

33:19

I do just want to end on saying that the podcast

33:21

is Wild growth at

33:23

times. Absolutely hilarious.

33:24

And we

33:25

have some of the biggest comedians in the

33:27

world like Conan O'Brien and and

33:29

like Nicky Gail, listen to

33:30

Nattaro. Just bearing

33:33

all on this podcast. I'm like, I it's

33:35

gonna hold the rest of my life. And you're

33:37

all welcome on. Another thing I've known

33:40

about you for years is five years ago, you launched

33:42

an organization -- Yeah. -- and a

33:44

mental health movement called highway. That

33:46

was very powerful. It celebrates inclusivity

33:48

and body positivity. Mhmm. Now you're

33:50

taking on the concept of exercise.

33:53

So -- Mhmm. -- and explain this. Joy,

33:55

you're gonna love that. I'm sorry. No. You will

33:57

love

33:57

this. We keep here.

33:59

So you hate exercise as well? I

34:01

hate exercise. Right?

34:02

had an eighteenth

34:03

disorder for twenty years. I looked to exercise something

34:05

I just did to punish myself for eating.

34:07

It was all based around my aesthetic. And so

34:09

therefore, when I recovered from anorexia, I

34:11

didn't go near moving my body. I stayed

34:13

in bed for like eight years pretty much because

34:15

I just like I see it as this exclusive

34:18

club, this elitist place where you

34:20

have to dress a certain way in like

34:24

No problem. No. Sorry. In

34:27

in I

34:27

think I No. Hold on guys for my background.

34:29

Do you have a shot of Braff?

34:32

He's on the floor. I

34:33

apologize. I apologize. I apologize. That

34:36

is very bad language. So

34:38

but if you're wearing these, like, brows -- Yep.

34:40

-- and these leggings. And if you wanna wear the bras and

34:42

leggings, that's fine. So dude, I don't wanna wear

34:44

something that's lemon and see through in which I can

34:46

see, you know. So do do exercise or

34:48

don't Well, join me to show you this as he brought some footage.

34:51

Oh, okay. We're doing this.

34:54

That's it. 0II

34:56

do something like that. You do it on

34:58

YouTube. Right. Pizza I knew that is.

35:00

So I'm eating like eating and

35:02

I'm doing Arabic to disco

35:04

music. wearing baggy clothing. You

35:06

can't see any of my body. I am trying

35:08

to take on like a punk alternative

35:11

vibe when it comes to exercise where it's not about

35:13

your body. Is not about how you look at the

35:15

gym. You don't have to wear makeup at the gym. I look like a baboons

35:18

bum when I'm working out. Yeah. I don't want

35:20

anyone to feel excluded. The word exclusive

35:22

shouldn't be a desirable term. It means it's moving

35:24

people. Yeah. I hate the term no pain no

35:26

game. No pain no game. Like, we

35:29

we are in a culture obsessed with

35:32

diet culture and exercise and

35:34

punishment and and self-depth,

35:36

like and and taking

35:38

away from ourselves and what I love about exercises

35:40

about

35:41

that, you know, because when I went to Marvel, they

35:43

made me gain weight and they made me train six a

35:45

week and a week. First time I've had a nice job

35:47

without having to think about being

35:48

thinner. Right. Yep. Yeah.

35:51

But it meant that I my mental health improved

35:53

tenfold, and I've never seen it like that. Yeah.

35:55

It

35:55

changes the endorphins release, the dopamine,

35:58

it makes you sleep better, you have stress

36:00

relief, all these benefits that you were going

36:02

to get. We love you. Otherwise,

36:04
