I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO FEEL -- WE'VE HUGGED IN THE PAST, AND KISSING IS APPROPRIATE NOW. >> Whoopi: IT'S ALL RIGHT. >> Sara: i CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT TIME. [ LAUGHTER ] >> BEAUTIFUL NEW STUDIO, GUYS. CONGRATULATIONS. >> Whoopi: THANK YOU. >> Sunny: IT IS PRETTY, RIGHT? STATE-OF-THE-ART. >> I WOULD SLEEP HERE. >> Sunny: YEAH? >> YEAH. >> Whoopi: YOU MAY HAVE TO. YOU NEVER KNOW. SAY, YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS PODCAST FOR SIX YEARS NOW. >> YEAH. >> Whoopi: AND RECENTLY YOU ANNOUNCED A NEW DEAL. WHAT'S GOING ON, DAX? WHAT'S HAPPENING? >> WE HAVE A NEW HOME AT WONDERY, WHICH IS REALLY EXCITING, AND NOW WE'LL BE DOING VIDEO. ALSO NOW PEOPLE CAN LISTEN AD-FREE IF THEY WANT, SO IT'S A COOL NEW HOME FOR US, AND, YEAH, WE'RE IN YEAR SEVEN, AND IT'S KIND OF CRAZY. >> Sara: GREAT PODCAST. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH, IT'S INCREDIBLE. WE'VE DONE ALMOST 800 EPISODES, WHICH IS WILD. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE IN THE THOUSANDS, I IMAGINE. >> Sunny: A COUPLE THOUSAND. >> A COUPLE THOUSAND. I'LL COME BACK AT A COUPLE THOU. >> Joy: WE'RE ON 28 YEARS. DO THE MATH. >> 655,000. >> Sunny: YEAH, IT'S A COUPLE THOUSAND. YOU JUST MENTIONED YOU'VE DONE NEARLY 800 EPISODES OF THE PODCAST, RIGHT, RANGING FROM FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. >> YEAH. >> Sunny: PRINCE HARRY TO TREVOR NOAH, JACK BLACK. LOOK, YOU'RE GETTING GOOD GUESTS. >> I KNOW. >> Sunny: I HEAR YOU HAVE ONE PARTICULAR DREAM GUEST IN MIND. >> YEAH. >> Sunny: WHO IS IT, AND DO YOU WANT TO MAKE A PITCH TO THE CAMERA RIGHT NOW? >> YEAH, WHICH ONE SHOULD I LOOK IN, AND I KNOW HE'S WATCHING. JAY-Z, JAY-Z, I KNOW YOU WATCH "THE VIEW." >> Sunny: OH. >> I KNOW YOU AND QUEEN BEY ARE WATCHING RIGHT NOW. YEAH, FOR 6 1/2 YEARS I'VE BEEN TRYING DESPERATELY TO GET HIM. IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. AND I ALREADY KIND OF KNOW THAT. >> Sunny: WHY? TALK TO BEYONCE. >> YEAH, MAYBE I'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH HER. [ LAUGHTER ] GENERALLY YOU MEET THE DUDE TO BECOME FRIENDS WITH THE GIRL, BUT I'M GOING TO FLIP THIS, BUT I KNOW IT WON'T HAPPEN, BECAUSE KRISTEN HAD INVITED ME LIKE THREE YEARS IN A ROW TO THE MET GALA. >> Sunny: YES. >> AND I NEVER WENT BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TO DRESS UP AND THEN ONE YEAR SHE CAME HOME AND SHE SAID I'M INVITING YOU TO THE MET GALA, AND YOU'RE DEFINITELY GOING BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE AT JAY-Z'S TABLE. I SAID, I HOPE HE LIKES HEARING HIS LYRICS REPEATED BACK OVER TO HIM. WE WENT. >> Sunny: YES. >> I GAVE HIM MY "A" GAME, 112%. >> Whoopi: DID YOU SCARE HIM, DAX? >> I PROMISE YOU IF YOU HAD SEEN ME IN THE BATHROOM, HE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN I WAS AT THE BATHROOM. A BIG MESS. HE WAS COMPLETELY IMPERVIOUS TO MY CHARMS, AND IT WAS A BIG DISASTER. >> Sara: MAYBE IT WAS THE LYRICS YOU WERE RECITING -- >> IT WAS SUCH A MISS THAT WHEN WE LEFT, KRISTEN SAID, I'M SORRY, HONEY. [ LAUGHTER ] SUPE SUPERSTAR. >> Alyssa: YOU'RE KNOWN FOR GOING DEEP WITH YOUR GUESTS AND ATTRIBUTE IT TO YOUR 20-YEAR RECOVERY GETTING PAST THE SMALL TALK AND GETTING IN THERE. >> YEAH. >> Alyssa: TELL US ABOUT THAT. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> YEAH, I THINK IT'S A REAL LEAP OF FAITH WHEN YOU GO INTO A 12-STEP PROGRAM, AND YOU'RE GOING TO GO AND KIND OF ADMIT TO YOUR SHORTCOMINGS AND YOUR FAILURES AND YOUR EXPECTATION AS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE JUDGMENTAL AND LOOK DOWN ON YOU AND WHAT I HAVE FOUND FOR 20 YEARS STRAIGHT IS PEOPLE FEEL CONNECTED TO YOU, THEY RELATE TO YOU, THEY FEEL COMFORTED BY THAT. AND SO I THINK JUST HAVING HAD THAT EXPERIENCE FOR SO LONG, THAT FEELS VERY NATURAL FOR ME TO DO THAT ON THE SHOW. >> Joy: WHAT DID OBAMA RELATE TO? HE'S SO PERFECT. >> I HAVE A BEEF WITH OBAMA. >> Sunny: OH, OH, DO TELL. >> Sara: YOU CAN LOOK IN THAT CAMERA. HE'S WATCHING. >> Joy: YEAH, RIGHT. >> MICHELLE -- [ LAUGHTER ] >> Joy: HE TOLD US ON THIS SHOW THAT MICHELLE WATCHES THE SHOW. >> WELL, THIS IS HIS MOVE, SO THE FIRST TIME I GOT TO TALK TO HIM, IT WAS GREAT. I POSTED SOMETHING. WE BROKERED THIS DEAL WHERE I WAS GOING TO GET TO TALK TO HIM, AND HE SAID, BEFORE I GET TO YOUR QUESTION, I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT, ME, MICHELLE, SASHA, WE LOVE "THE GOOD PLACE." WE LOVE KRISTEN. AND I WAS LIKE, UNFORTUNATELY, SHE'S NOT HERE. IT'S JUST ME. SO, IT TURNED OUT THAT HE IS HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH KRISTEN. NO SHOCKER, AND HAD VERY LITTLE INTEREST IN ME, BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT. >> Sara: WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE, "PARENTHOOD" SO I'LL JUST GIVE YOU THAT MUCH. ANYONE WATCH "PARENTHOOD"? [ APPLAUSE ] I LOVE THAT SHOW. WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO YOU HERE. YOU AND YOUR WIFE, KRISTEN BELL -- [ LAUGHTER ] -- HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 11 YEARS NOW, AND SHE WAS YOUR FIRST GUEST ON THE PODCAST AND SHE'S BEEN BACK FIVE TIMES. SHE RECENTLY REVEALED WHEN YOU TWO FIRST MET, SHE THOUGHT YOU WERE TOO CHATTY. >> CAN YOU IMAGINE? >> Sara: IS THAT HOW YOU REMEMBER IT, AND HOW DID THINGS PROGRESS FROM THERE? >> WELL, IN MY DEFENSE, WE MET AT A FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY PARTY, AND I HAD BROKEN UP WITH SOMEONE THAT MORNING. >> Sara: OKAY. >> Sunny: OH, YOU DIDN'T TALK ABOUT THE BREAKUP, THOUGH, RIGHT? >> NO, NO, NO, BUT COMPOUNDING IT WAS THE WOMAN WHO I BROKE UP WITH ME'S EX-HUSBAND WAS ACROSS FROM ME IN A BOOTH. THERE WAS A LOT HAPPENING. I KIND OF MISSED KRISTEN. THE ONLY THING I REMEMBER IS SHE HAD GOTTEN A 20% OFF COUPON FOR BED, BATH AND BEYOND THAT DAY IN THE MAIL, AND SHE WAS PLANNING HER WHOLE NEXT DAY AROUND THESE SAVINGS, AND I THOUGHT, WELL, THIS IS VERY CHARMING THAT A MOVIE STAR IS THAT PUMPED ABOUT 20% OFF OF HOME FURNISHINGS AT BED, BATH AND BEYOND, AND THEN MAYBE THREE WEEKS LATER I WAS AT A DETROIT RED WINGS GAME, WE'RE BOTH FROM DETROIT. [ APPLAUSE ] AND RAN INTO -- THERE WE GO. WHAT'S UP, HOCKEY TOWN? AND, YEAH, WE RAN INTO EACH OTHER THEN WE STARTED TALKING, AND I WAS LIKE, OH, MY GOODNESS, HOW DID I MISS THIS SPARKLY CREATURE? SHE WAS CHEWING GUM. AND I SAID, DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER PIECE OF GUM, AND SHE SAID I ONLY HAVE THIS AND THEN I TOOK IT. >> Alyssa: OH. >> Sara: IN EIGHTH GRADE, THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING STEADY. >> SHE'S OUT. >> Joy: THAT'S DISGUSTING. WOULD YOU USE HER TOOTHBRUSH TOO? IT'S DISGUSTING. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Sara: THAT WAS ONLY TO LAND HER. >> Sunny: THAT'S A GOOD MOVE. IT WAS A TEST -- >> JOY, IT'S TELLING HER, I'M NOT AFRAID OF THINGS THAT WERE IN YOUR MOUTH. I HOPE MY LIPS ARE THERE SOON. [ AUDIENCE REACTS ] >> Joy: YOU KNOW, MY SEGUE -- >> THIS IS GOOD. HALF THE PEOPLE ARE IN. HALF THE PEOPLE ARE OUT. >> Sunny: I'M IN. >> Sara: KRISTEN ALSO SAID TO THAT STORY THAT'S WHEN SHE KNEW YOU WANTED HER. UH-HUH. >> IF YOU DON'T KNOW AT THAT POINT, YOUR EYES ARE CLOSED. >> Sara: MESSAGE RECEIVED. >> Sunny: I LIKE IT. >> Alyssa: JOY. >> Joy: I HAVE TO -- YEAH, BECAUSE MY QUESTION NOW IS A SEGUE ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, AND I'M TOO NAUSEOUS TO EVEN ASK. [ LAUGHTER ] BUT YOU HAVE TWO LOVELY PRETEEN CHILDREN. >> I DO. I DO. >> Joy: I UNDERSTAND YOU GIVE THEM A WIDE BERTH, AND THEY TELL YOU EVERYTHING, AND I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION. I READ SOMETHING THE OTHER DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD DO AS A PARENT. THIS WOMAN WROTE THAT HER -- SHE PAID HER KID $100 TO READ A BOOK. >> YEAH. >> Joy: THE PEOPLE ON THIS PANEL, WE ALL DISAGREED A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE NEVER DID IT ON THE AIR. I'M INTERESTED WHAT YOU THINK. >> I'M A PARENT, AND I KNOW EACH KID IS DIFFERENT, SO I'M NOT ONE TO REALLY BE TERRIBLY JUDGMENTAL OF WHAT SOMEONE HAS TO DO TO GET THEIR KID TO DO A GOOD THING. >> Joy: NEVER MIND THE JUDGMENT. >> Sunny: IS BRIBERY A GOOD FORM OF MOTIVATION FOR CHILDREN? >> Joy: YEAH, YEAH. >> IF THE OPTIONS ARE NEVER READ A BOOK OR PAY 100, I GUESS I WOULD GO WITH 100. YOU'RE MEASURING BETWEEN TWO TERRIBLE OUTCOMES. I GUESS I'M PICKING $100. >> Joy: BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP UPPING THE ANTE, AND NOW IT'S 150 TO READ A BOOK. >> MY WIFE IS A WOMAN OF MEANS. >> Joy: YES, AND SHE HAS COUPONS. >> WE COULD PROBABLY PAY TO READ THE -- >> Sara: ESPECIALLY WITH THAT DISCOUNT -- >> Sunny: LESS SOCIAL MEDIA, MORE BOOKS. >> Alyssa: DAX, I HAVE TO ASK, YOU TOOK YOUR DAUGHTER LINCOLN TO THE "ERAS" TOUR, AND I'M A HUGE SWIFTIE. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WERE, BECAUSE YOU WERE SINGING ALONG THE WHOLE TIME. DID YOU LEAVE AS COOL DAD, OR HOW DID YOUR DAUGHTER RECEIVE IT? >> STILL IN THE SWEET SPOT WHERE I'M MILDLY COOL. THIS IS -- THE REASON I'M SO EXCITED. >> Sunny: OH, WOW. >> THE REASON I'M SO EXCITED IS I HAVE BEEN LYING TO HER FOR TWO YEARS SAYING THAT SONG, "WILDEST DREAMS," WAS WRITTEN ABOUT ME BY TAYLOR SWIFT. >> Sunny: STOP. >> BECAUSE THE LYRICS ARE HE'S SO TALL AND HANDSOME AS HELL. HE'S SO BAD, BUT HE DOES IT SO WELL. AND I WAS LIKE, GUYS, OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ABOUT ME, AND SO WE WENT, AND I WAS LIKE, YOU WATCH, SHE'S GOING TO PLAY THAT SONG TO ME, AND SHE PLAYED IT, AND I WENT BANANAS, AND LINCOLN DOES NOT THINK IT'S ABOUT ME, BUT SHE DID LAUGH A LOT AT HOW EXCITED I WAS. >> Sunny: THAT'A COOL DAD. >> Joy: I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW YOU WERE, RAISED BECAUSE YOU ARE AN INTERESTING CHARACTER. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. DUMB WAS BEING SWAPPED WILLY-NILLY IN MY HOUSEHOLD. >> Joy: THEY LET YOU SAY WHATEVER. >> PRETTY MUCH. MY MOM LET IT RIP. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Whoopi: I THINK IT WORKED OUT ALL RIGHT. LISTEN, THANK YOU FOR COMING, DAX. YOU KNOW, YOU ALWAYS HAVE A SEAT HERE AT THE TABLE. [ APPLAUSE ] >> THANK YOU. >> Whoopi: THE LATEST EPISODE OF "ARMCHAIR EXPERT," THEY ARE AVAILABLE NOW ON WONDERY. WONDERY? >> YEAH, WONDERY. >> Whoopi: WONDERY. HMM. >> Sara: I WONDERY WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> Whoopi: I THOUGHT THAT WAS WONDERBERY IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME. WHEREVER YOU GET
