https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/qGgHGjyfYGTB

Ross: Can everybody remember that dating is supposed to be fun, you know, like go out and just have fun.

Drew: Can you tell the men I go on dates with that because they have lost the memory. I love to like date from Psychos.com. I'm not kidding.

Sunny: Drew, we talk about this a lot, but like have you tried like the 20 somethings?

Drew: You know what? No, I'm totally grossed out by that. No, I have children and it seems wrong now.

Sunny: Well you might have tried a 20 something and it didn't go well. I have tried the twenty-somethings and it was fabulous.

Ross: Can I ask, can I ask a follow up? When you were trying stuff with a 20-something, what something were you? Were you a 30-something or.

Sunny: I was 40 something and before my guy moved in, he knew I was having fun.

Ross: And you recommend it.

Sunny: Yeah, because you don't care. Yeah, but if it's like real dating, I need to know, honey, before we go on the date, like where do you, I wanna know where you stand politically.

I wanna know if you think that I have a right to make decisions for my own body. Like I do wanna know what TV shows you watch and why. Like I wanna know all the stuff. I do. I wanna weed them out early.

Drew on Psycho Stalking Adam Sandler & Kevin James on Sandler Saving "Mall Cop"

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/21WyLGfK3AxmDrew: I psycho stalked Adam. Like I, he was, I was not, yes I called him and called him and called him until I think he felt like I've got to meet up with this person and I just said I know we don't look necessarily like a match, but I believe in my heart and in my gut that you and I are supposed to make many movies we're supposed to be like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn but not graceful and the cool like you know, the more modern true to us then we went and found 'The Wedding Singer.' He was making it. I came to him with a script called Frigid and Impotent, and I was like, what about this? And he was like, yeah, and I don't think that's the one. He's like, I'm working on something, but it's not fully realized yet and I was like, this is good because if it's not realized yet, let's realize it together. And he's a great collaborator, as you know.

Kevin: Everything he does, I listen, I mean I just follow him. And he saved, he, he made my movie 'Mall Cop.' I would never have gotten that made, he made it. And by the way, we shot it and we edited it, and I don't know, you know what it's like seeing a first cut of a movie.

It's horrendous. Like it, I thought this, my, my career was over and we were so panicked. Adam goes, relax, buddy, let me check it out. He looked at it. He let areas breathe, and he just knew what to do with it, and he made the movie that it was, and it was like came in like, like, you know, it was just amazing, incredible.

Drew: That's what I love about Sandler is he never loses the heart, so I texted him and I was like, OK, Kevin's I'm about to go see him. Should I mention anything? And he said something, this is his text, something that we always do is texting and laughing and then describing how hard we're laughing and then picturing the other guy laughing alone, holding his phone makes you laugh even more.

Kevin: He does. He'll just send the craziest stuff to me and in the middle of the night, and I gotta tell him at the level of, I'm like, I just write back crying or big laugh or this or that, and he's like, me too, and then we just keep going back and forth tagging it, and it just, it's ridiculous and it goes on forever, and that's the stuff I live for. He's just the sweetest guy ever, man.

Drew: Has he seen 'Solo Mio' yet?

Kevin: Yes, he did, and he went nuts.
