Mae Whitman

[0] Welcome to the armchair expert.

[1] I'm your friend, Dach Shepard.

[2] I'm joined by my lovely co -host, Manika Padman.

[3] That's me. That's how you'd say it in Baston.

[4] Yeah.

[5] Manicapadman.

[6] That's how Matt and Ben would say it.

[7] Oh, they would.

[8] Manicapadman.

[9] Also in New Zealand, they'd be like, oh, I like you.

[10] I like your podcast.

[11] Manny Capadman.

[12] Manicadman.

[13] I told you one time I was in that strip club in Thailand, and there were some Australians there.

[14] It was mostly Australians.

[15] Let me also add I was brought to the strip club by three women who were the partners of the cast of the hangover.

[16] The hangover.

[17] Well, now it sounds like I'm name dropping when all I was really trying to do is get out of the grossness that I was in a Thai strip club anyways.

[18] I was in a tie strip club and I kept hearing, Creezeby, Creezeby, Creezee, and I heard it about 20 times before I realized it was the Australians yelling Crosby.

[19] Yeah.

[20] My character name on, He on Parenthood.

[21] That's neither here nor.

[22] No, it is there.

[23] Because parenthood, we have yet another lovely member of the Braverman clan joining us today.

[24] May Whitman, you're going to hear me gush all over her about her incredible talent and just overall sparkliness.

[25] She's one of the greatest people on planet Earth.

[26] We're all in love with her, right?

[27] Yeah.

[28] Didn't you fall in love with her?

[29] Absolutely.

[30] Yeah, she's so damn likable.

[31] And you'll hear the origin.

[32] If by some freak occurrence, you follow.

[33] both of us on Twitter and you notice we only call each other B, B, B, and Dedy.

[34] That'll be explained, henceforth, henceforth.

[35] So buckle up, put a burrito on your buns, and enjoy Mae Whitman.

[39] Boy, I don't even really know how to introduce you because there's so many layers of love.

[40] It's a lot.

[41] We have a professional relationship.

[42] Married, divorced, remarried.

[43] Father, child.

[44] Let me just start by saying nothing can compare to the pride that a father feels when his baby comes home all grown up.

[45] Am I all grown up yet?

[46] You are.

[47] You're officially grown up.

[48] Wow.

[49] May Whitman is here.

[50] Hey.

[51] And I think there's some real prerequisite knowledge before we start talking because we, in fact, to an annoying level, I think, for our coworkers, have a lot of inside slang and jargon, a lexicon.

[52] True.

[53] Let's start with BBDD.

[54] Let's.

[55] Where was it that it even morphed into this sick twist?

[56] This is really, there's so much to say.

[57] I don't know, but at some point.

[58] It was just that you were always my parents.

[59] Yes, Kristen and I. quickly adopted me into the family.

[60] Oh, you know what?

[61] In fact, I think it was right after the pilot when we went on vacation together to the sequoias.

[62] I think it was when we went on vacation and we were like, this is exactly the kind of baby we've been in the market for.

[63] And she's already grows up.

[64] Doesn't even wear diapers all the time.

[65] Only on weekends.

[66] Right, only after 2 a .m. When duty calls.

[67] But, um, and then so that's, that's obvious.

[68] That's easy to follow.

[69] You are our baby.

[70] Yeah.

[71] And we are your parents.

[72] Yeah.

[73] But then somehow, you started calling me D
