I want to call you Wild Angel. Please do. That would be the most amazing nickname ever.

Wild Angel. How do you.?

Yeah. I don't know how you shorten that. That's a lot of... Yeah, Wangel.

Hi. Welcome back to where Everybody knows your name with me, Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson, Sometimes. Today is a Woody day, and we're both here talking to someone we love dearly, Laura Dern. I was first introduced to Laura Dern years ago because she was a great friend of my wife, Mary Steenberg. We have become very close friends. I have so much respect for her, for her family, for her kids. I could go on and on. The only thing I think she perhaps has a problem with, and that's acknowledgement, incredible. Now I am an honorary sister. So thank you for bringing that up.Yeah, weDern and get some tips on acting. This is only in the last couple of years. Then I was like, I can't call her and start asking her how to act. It's going to be so embarrassing to even first I can't admit. I don't know how to act in a second.Totally but that's the age we live in.The times we live in, yeah. Ted, I know you made this switch recently to consumer cellular. I did. As your producer, I got to say that makes me really happy because you're happy.You know why I'm happy?Because my business manager has to deal with these bills, is very happy, up to half the cost.That's pretty good. He's watching the pennies.He He is watching the pennies. Yeah.How's the service been since switching?I can tell you I put it to a test because I live in a canyon, and service is, usually drops out like mad, and I haven't had any dropouts, so that's pretty cool.That's a good stress test being in a- A canyon. Yeah. Like, literally, canyon? Literally. You're at the bottom of this huge- Not huge, but big enough to...Are you trying to get me to tell you where I live?Can you post the dress on the screen? Let's Yes. Let's get Ted's address up there.For a limited time, you can sign up with Consumer Cellular and save $50 with promo code TED50.Visit consumercellular.

Oh, Sandra Seacat. Yeah, and that intrigues me.Sandra Seacat was my acting teacher who I met at 17. I had started studying when I was a kid, 11, at the Lee Strasberg Institute and with a few amazing teachers. Then, by magic, I met Sandra, who was life-changing.Was she known by then?Yeah, she was known by then, and I was doing Blue Velvet. Thank you. She was coaching Isabella Rosalini on the film, and she had worked with several other friends, and I kept hearing her name. On every movie I did, someone had taken class or was working with her privately on a film. I studied with her my whole life until she passed very recently, which was a heart break, but it's like she gave us all a million years to grow into with her life lessons. I was just saying one of the most moving things I was with her husband atthat from. I'm not saying that because I happen to be here on a podcast with you two. Literally, you guys are the leaders in teaching me that.She's always the boomerang. If you just pay her a compliment, she just shoots it right back.But I mean, people are like, your work for Oceana. I'm like, my work for Oceana. I just learned about Oceana because of Ted dancing.You helped us raise a million dollars in one night. Thank you very much. But anyway, it is cheap what she does. This is a cheap trick, the boomerang thing. It's lazy on your part.How many questions can I ask them? So I don't have to.When We're such suckers. I want to ask, of the things that I learned, I didn't know that when you were 15, you were Ms. Golden Glow at 15. Yes, I was. What does that entail?They've done it forever, which is that they choose a young actor to help, I think, give out the awards. At the time, they did a newcomer prize for a best new actor. So you got to give that to another young actor coming out. Who did you give it to? Timothy Hutton for Ordinary People. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think I was 14 or something. It was beautiful and cool and weird and so different.You got to hang out with all those wonderful journalists?I was amazing. But also I'm thinking about just the Golden Global Awards or the Oscars as a kid in the '80s. Even in the '90s, when we first went to award shows, I drove up with my grandma and her Toyota Corolla and was dropping dropped off and went into the bathroom to put a dress on. Now it's like the cars and the stylists and the things and makeup and hair teams. There was none of that.None of that. Mary won an Oscar early on in her career, and they said nothing.Nothing.Same. You're right. The Volkswagen dropped her off feeling.Yeah, same. Mom and I did this film Rambling Rose, and we were both nominated. And my mom was like, They said, If we want people to see the movie, we got to pay to have their VHS tapes sent to their houses. I'm like, Us? We have to pay?That was it. So that was in '92, right? Because I didn't know. So it was the first time in history, mother-daughter nominated from the same movie. Yeah. And also, it's another historical thing. You were the first to lose. Both of you lost.Yes. Good point.That's an excellent point.Thanks, Woody.Oh, my God, Woody. That is so great. That was sweet. So you're not hot about.I'm always looking for a joke.I apologize. But it was really cool that you- I'm going to call my mom when I'm done with this and tell her, Can you believe it? We're the first mother-daughter ever to lose Oscars.You went to UCLA, right? You're there for two days, and then boom, you're off to do Blue Velvet at 18, right? Yeah.Did you know that story?Well, I don't really know the story.Okay, I'm going to try to tell it really quick.No, no. I was 17. They did not asked for whom the Bell tells. It doesn't toll for you.Okay, thank you. You know this story, right? I think. I was 17, so excited to get into UCLA, was there for two days, and I had auditioned and got offered the role in Blue Velvet. I was ecstatic. I worshiped David Lynch, as people really were from Elephant Man, Eraserhead, which he had made at this point. I went to bad.She wasn't bad at all, actually. She was a lot of fun. But like, what? Meryl Streep, people. It was incredible. I mean, some of them were my dearest friends before, and now we're all truly family. It was amazing. I loved that character.You're mentioning a lot of big famous actresses. You are my favorite actor. Your ambition, your talent, your whatever takes a back seat to the character. I never am aware of you being good or watch this. This is going to be one of my best performances thing, which you do see in all of us sometimes. Yeah, that's very beautiful. You're really a great actor.You are great. You are phenomenal. Thanks, guys. You are phenomenal. And as a human, I knew you were going to Boomerang. Boomerang. Oh, the old Boomerang, the Wild Angel Boomerang. It's very lazy, Boomeranging. It's lazy.There should be a sign up on the door. No Boomerang.Please don't do a wild angel.But the thing about you, Laura, and this is within working with you, but also outside of working with you, is you always lift people up. If I have a thing that I consider a legitimate thing that I'm upset about, somehow I can talk with you and you just instantly figure out a way to make it like... It's like how that saying of inside the worst hardship you can find the opportunity, a Dao Deching type of... I'm not saying it right, obviously.No, you got it.I think Lau Tzu said it better. Okay. Anyway, you're like that. You can take anything that's like a mishap or something that's not good. And you're like the way you see things, your view of the world. I don't know. You're always uplifting and hopeful. And you just make me happy, I must say.You make me happy. Both of you. I'm so happy to be with you guys. I mean, it's like double bliss.Boomerang.It's true. But before we leave each other, too, I I do, and I don't intend it to be a boomerang, but I do want to say I'm really grateful that you guys are creating space for us to connect and talk about things we've never talked about together, but also to remind each other of the larger work at hand for this planet and for each other while using opportunities to have a microphone. So I'm super grateful that I learn from you guys every day about how to do it. I mean, literally from Lauren Woody teaching me, literally, how to stir my honey and what to not eat and an easier way to compost and how we can care for this planet and how much we have to discover in our oceans, how little we've discovered in terms of how we can save ourselves between soil and ocean.We'll get around to talking planet stuff one of these days, and maybe you'd come back. Yes, let me. Thank you, Laura Dern. We both adore you and appreciate you spending this time with us. After you listen to this, please may I make a suggestion? Do yourself a huge huge favor, and get Laura's book with Diane Ladd. The title is Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love, and Banana Pudding. It's a beautiful read. That's it for This week's show, a special thanks to my friend Woody and our friends at Team Coco. Tell a friend if you like the show and give us a good rating and review on Apple podcast if you like.

Because my business manager has to deal with these bills, is very happy, up to half the cost.

That's pretty good. He's watching the pennies.

He He is watching the pennies. Yeah.

How's the service been since switching?

I can tell you I put it to a test because I live in a canyon, and service is, usually drops out like mad, and I haven't had any dropouts, so that's pretty cool.

That's a good stress test being in a- A canyon. Yeah. Like, literally, canyon? Literally. You're at the bottom of this huge- Not huge, but big enough to...

Hey, while we're on creativity and our artistic souls, tell me, because I didn't know that much about you and Sandra Seacat. Oh, Sandra Seacat. Yeah, and that intrigues me.

Sandra Seacat was my acting teacher who I met at 17. I had started studying when I was a kid, 11, at the Lee Strasberg Institute and with a few amazing teachers. Then, by magic, I met Sandra, who was life-changing.

Was she known by then?

Yeah, she was known by then, and I was doing Blue Velvet. Thank you. She was coaching Isabella Rosalini on the film, and she had worked with several other friends, and I kept hearing her name. On every movie I did, someone had taken class or was working with her privately on a film. I studied with her my whole life until she passed very recently, which was a heart break, but it's like she gave us all a million years to grow into with her life lessons. I was just saying one of the most moving things I was with her husband atthat from. I'm not saying that because I happen to be here on a podcast with you two. Literally, you guys are the leaders in teaching me that.She's always the boomerang. If you just pay her a compliment, she just shoots it right back.But I mean, people are like, your work for Oceana. I'm like, my work for Oceana. I just learned about Oceana because of Ted dancing.You helped us raise a million dollars in one night. Thank you very much. But anyway, it is cheap what she does. This is a cheap trick, the boomerang thing. It's lazy on your part.How many questions can I ask them? So I don't have to.When We're such suckers. I want to ask, of the things that I learned, I didn't know that when you were 15, you were Ms. Golden Glow at 15. Yes, I was. What does that entail?They've done it forever, which is that they choose a young actor to help, I think, give out the awards. At the time, they did a newcomer prize for a best new actor. So you got to give that to another young actor coming out. Who did you give it to? Timothy Hutton for Ordinary People. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think I was 14 or something. It was beautiful and cool and weird and so different.You got to hang out with all those wonderful journalists?I was amazing. But also I'm thinking about just the Golden Global Awards or the Oscars as a kid in the '80s. Even in the '90s, when we first went to award shows, I drove up with my grandma and her Toyota Corolla and was dropping dropped off and went into the bathroom to put a dress on. Now it's like the cars and the stylists and the things and makeup and hair teams. There was none of that.None of that. Mary won an Oscar early on in her career, and they said nothing.Nothing.Same. You're right. The Volkswagen dropped her off feeling.Yeah, same. Mom and I did this film Rambling Rose, and we were both nominated. And my mom was like, They said, If we want people to see the movie, we got to pay to have their VHS tapes sent to their houses. I'm like, Us? We have to pay?That was it. So that was in '92, right? Because I didn't know. So it was the first time in history, mother-daughter nominated from the same movie. Yeah. And also, it's another historical thing. You were the first to lose. Both of you lost.Yes. Good point.That's an excellent point.Thanks, Woody.Oh, my God, Woody. That is so great. That was sweet. So you're not hot about.I'm always looking for a joke.I apologize. But it was really cool that you- I'm going to call my mom when I'm done with this and tell her, Can you believe it? We're the first mother-daughter ever to lose Oscars.You went to UCLA, right? You're there for two days, and then boom, you're off to do Blue Velvet at 18, right? Yeah.Did you know that story?Well, I don't really know the story.Okay, I'm going to try to tell it really quick.No, no. I was 17. They did not asked for whom the Bell tells. It doesn't toll for you.Okay, thank you. You know this story, right? I think. I was 17, so excited to get into UCLA, was there for two days, and I had auditioned and got offered the role in Blue Velvet. I was ecstatic. I worshiped David Lynch, as people really were from Elephant Man, Eraserhead, which he had made at this point. I went to bad.She wasn't bad at all, actually. She was a lot of fun. But like, what? Meryl Streep, people. It was incredible. I mean, some of them were my dearest friends before, and now we're all truly family. It was amazing. I loved that character.You're mentioning a lot of big famous actresses. You are my favorite actor. Your ambition, your talent, your whatever takes a back seat to the character. I never am aware of you being good or watch this. This is going to be one of my best performances thing, which you do see in all of us sometimes. Yeah, that's very beautiful. You're really a great actor.You are great. You are phenomenal. Thanks, guys. You are phenomenal. And as a human, I knew you were going to Boomerang. Boomerang. Oh, the old Boomerang, the Wild Angel Boomerang. It's very lazy, Boomeranging. It's lazy.There should be a sign up on the door. No Boomerang.Please don't do a wild angel.But the thing about you, Laura, and this is within working with you, but also outside of working with you, is you always lift people up. If I have a thing that I consider a legitimate thing that I'm upset about, somehow I can talk with you and you just instantly figure out a way to make it like... It's like how that saying of inside the worst hardship you can find the opportunity, a Dao Deching type of... I'm not saying it right, obviously.No, you got it.I think Lau Tzu said it better. Okay. Anyway, you're like that. You can take anything that's like a mishap or something that's not good. And you're like the way you see things, your view of the world. I don't know. You're always uplifting and hopeful. And you just make me happy, I must say.You make me happy. Both of you. I'm so happy to be with you guys. I mean, it's like double bliss.Boomerang.It's true. But before we leave each other, too, I I do, and I don't intend it to be a boomerang, but I do want to say I'm really grateful that you guys are creating space for us to connect and talk about things we've never talked about together, but also to remind each other of the larger work at hand for this planet and for each other while using opportunities to have a microphone. So I'm super grateful that I learn from you guys every day about how to do it. I mean, literally from Lauren Woody teaching me, literally, how to stir my honey and what to not eat and an easier way to compost and how we can care for this planet and how much we have to discover in our oceans, how little we've discovered in terms of how we can save ourselves between soil and ocean.We'll get around to talking planet stuff one of these days, and maybe you'd come back. Yes, let me. Thank you, Laura Dern. We both adore you and appreciate you spending this time with us. After you listen to this, please may I make a suggestion?
