Ross: I haven't told anybody this yet. So I'm telling the world for the first time. So, you know, my husband Wellington I've talked about him on the show all the time. We got married in in May of 2020 Drew was our flower girl and our nephews were our ring bearers and we were so inspired by what our nephews did that we wrote a children's book about it. It's called well, do you just want me to show you the cover because it's, I'm gonna show you guys here before anybody else sees it. Bring it down. It is called tio and tio which means uncle and uncle in Spanish. The ring bearers. It is about the ring bearers at our wedding. Look, there's a little Drew Barrymore right there.
Drew: I'm the flower girl.
Ross: And the forward is written by Drew Barrymore. If you go to my website helloros.com or our show's website, you can preorder it. Now, you'd be the first people to get it. Thank you for letting me tell you all about it.

Drew: Do you know what inspired me to dress like this? Not only to pay homage to one of your most, one of the many most iconic characters that you've played. But this is how I dress every day of my life when I'm not in professional mode.
Jeff: This is your mode.
Drew: You know the dude, the dude abides.

Drew: Your granddaughter is 13 now. And is it true that they call you Dudie?
Jeff: I wanted them to call me, dude pa, but they shortened it to Dudie.
Drew: I gotta say I love Dudie. I think it's even better.
Jeff: I'm just hoping it's Howdie Doodie and not dog doodie. But I like it.
Drew: Because it's got the dude, but it's anything with e on the end of it is sweet.

Drew: When you were filming that, did you know what a phenomenon it would become? And I'm talking like this is so beyond cult status. There are cultural movements about this film.
Jeff: There are so many great lines in this.
Drew: I still to this day I do the John Turturro Ball clean.
Jeff: Isn’t it a good one? It's such a good, it's a masterpiece.
Drew: ‘Tron’ of which you were in and then you were in the sequel. And is it true there might be a third in which you will also participate?
Jeff: There is. There’s definitely a third.
Drew: By the way, Jared Leto was just saying that he just stared at you working with you and just kept smiling the whole time. Did you know when you were doing this film that there would be a continual franchise element of it.
Jeff: We're all wearing those leotards, I guess.
Drew: Maybe that's it.
Jeff: Sue wore that for Halloween. Oh, yeah, I still have that helmet. Yeah. Oh yeah. It's a hockey helmet.
Grace Van Patten on Her Boyfriend Being Her Co-Star in “Tell Me Lies”

Drew: Your boyfriend is your costar?
Grace: Yes.
Drew: I love it. I love it. It's so fun. What is it like to work together? Does it make it easier? Does it make it more complex? Is it sexier? Tell me everything.
Grace: It's, it's all of that. It's like the first season, we were kind of falling in love while making it.
So it was this really beautiful experience. And then second season, I was honestly terrified because I was, this guy knows me better than anybody and I was self-conscious for a second.
I was like, he's gonna know when I'm acting, he's gonna read right through me and I was scared, but then we got on set it was the complete opposite because we're so safe and comfortable with each other, it's just like that's all you want when you're acting to feel, to not think.
Drew: And if you have to like, you know, it's an ensemble and it's an ongoing story. How do you handle if you're gonna partner up with other people or there's flirtations like, you know, how does that.
Grace: This show definitely gives us some tests. But it was, it was great because, I don't know, it's just, we have a great relationship and great communication and it makes it so much. We also get all of our bad things out on screen. We fight on screen. We like, it's like therapy.
We just, I get to smash his phone, he gets to yell at me. I'm like, we get it all out and then at home we're just, like, ‘Wanna watch reality TV?’
