  • -Oh, for you. -Yeah.

  • -I love giving high-fives. -Do you?

  • -Yeah. I'm a high-fiver all the way.

  • -I just miss sometimes.

  • -Let's just try it again. Let's just -- Yeah.

  • [ Drum roll ] "Hey, what's up?"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Cymbal crash ]

  • I mean, the thing is, I could kill you with my bare hands --

  • -No, I know you can, yeah! -...if I wanted to.

  • But I can't high-five.

  • -We'll figure this out next time you're here.

  • We have things I have to talk to you about.

  • Miguel Arteta? -Miguel Arteta.

  • -Yes, I love Miguel Arteta. He's the genius, yeah.

  • -He was the director of,

  • "Alexander and the Very Horrible, Terrible,

  • No Good, Very Bad, Bad Day for Alexander."

  • -And we're going to do this movie, "Yes Day"

  • based on a children's book.

  • It's another family film that is so much fun.

  • It's for Netflix.

  • And it's based on this book by Amy Krouse Rosenthal about --

  • It's a book that I read to my kids.

  • And my middle daughter was enamored with this book

  • when she was your kids' age.

  • -Yeah. -Because it's about a mom who,

  • one day of the year, says yes all day long.

  • And if you're like me, I-I kill the fun.

  • My -- I am --

  • I am so lame.

  • I say no to everything.

  • They call me the dragon.

  • They call -- They have all these names for me.

  • So on one day a year, I just say yes.

  • -Okay, to anything?

  • They can be like, "Hey, we want pizza for breakfast."

  • -Yes. "We want pizza with ice cream for breakfast,

  • or with toothpaste, or we want --"

  • -Yeah. -Yeah. Uh-huh.

  • -Really? And you do that?

  • -I do it. Yes, I have for years.

  • -You posted something on Instagram.

  • I follow you. By the way, great follow, by the way.

  • It's very fun, funny.

  • And your cooking segments are great.

  • But this one really made me laugh.

  • This is from your daughter.

  • And it says, well, it says,

  • "When I grow up, I want to be a fun-killing mom just like you."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Yep. That's --

  • That is legit. -That's love right there.

  • That is love right there. -That is love, yes.

  • Uh-huh. -But you were fun.

  • That's not true. I think you're super fun.

  • -Well, having three kids, they have different ideas.

  • A 13-year-old and 7-year-old have a different idea

  • about what they'd like to get out of Yes Day.

  • -Oh, I see. So they have to agree on that.

  • -They have to agree, 'cause it's just one day for every--

  • So, the one thing they can agree on

  • is basically making an ass out of me.

  • -No, no, no. -So, yeah. For sure.

  • -You're so fun. I mean, what is the organic --

  • the organic baby food? What is it called?

  • -Oh, it's called, "Once Upon a Farm."

  • -"Once Upon a Farm." I love that you're doing this.

  • -Yeah, it's really cool.

  • It's a really mission-driven business.

  • It's -- It's just trying to get healthier, fresher food

  • to all kids out there.

  • You know, you go to the grocery store, and everyone's like,

  • "Oh, you know, my dog food is human-grade.

  • It's so good, I could eat it."

  • And then you say, "Hey, you want a bite of this baby food?"

  • And you open it. "No! Gross! It's like mush!

  • It's gross! It's disgusting."

  • So, baby food, you know, should not be older

  • than the baby that you're feeding it to.

  • Um, hello.

  • So it's just kind of reorganizing

  • the way we think about it and trying to get it out there.

  • It's WIC approved in five states,

  • meaning that, you know, moms and families on government-funded --

  • who have government-funded needs in the food area

  • can get it on WIC.

  • -And it's affordable. -Yeah.

  • -Good for you. I like that. -Yeah.

  • -You're always doing something for the kids.

  • You are an ambassador for the Save the Children organization.
