00:07 - Hi, I'm Lola Tong.
00:08 - This is My Best Flex.
00:09 We're gonna be answering some cool questions
00:11 and voting on who has the best answer.
00:13 - Okay, who is your most impressive follower
00:20 on social media?
00:21 - I'll go first.
00:23 - Okay. - No one.
00:24 (group exclaims)
00:29 - Lola's gonna win this.
00:30 - I don't know.
00:32 - The ladies in this room.
00:34 - You stole my answer.
00:35 Oh gosh, I knew it's somebody really cool.
00:40 Oh, Miranda Lambert.
00:43 Do you have one, Rainn?
00:47 Do you know who your most impressive?
00:48 - Yeah, I got one.
00:48 - Okay, go ahead, go ahead.
00:50 - Probably Andi McDowell 'cause she's a legend, I love her.
00:53 - All right.
00:55 - I'm a big Japanese breakfast fan
00:58 and Michelle's Honor follows me on Instagram
01:00 and I think that's really cool.
01:01 (group exclaims)
01:04 - I think that Rachel Wallenberg
01:07 because I just think it's so cool
01:09 that she's like no one and is completely,
01:12 you know, just wrapped her arms around that
01:14 and thinks that's super cool
01:16 and so now I think it's cool.
01:18 - I'm gonna say Lola.
01:19 - Yeah, I'll give, yeah, Rachel, Rachel.
01:23 - Okay, Rachel, two.
01:25 (group laughs)
01:27 - I'd say Jackie because I think the ladies
01:29 are a pretty cool group.
01:31 - I don't actually know if you all follow me
01:33 but I just--
01:34 - I actually don't.
01:36 - I don't follow you.
01:37 - I don't know that though.
01:39 - That was my way of shaming Kira.
01:40 - What's the best message you've ever received from a fan?
01:45 - Elaine Stritch, I'm really aging myself.
01:48 She's an old, was an old timer singer, dancer, actor
01:53 and she somehow got my phone number
01:55 when I was doing the closer
01:57 and she called me to say,
01:58 I just wanna tell you that I know how (beep) hard it is.
02:03 Sorry, can't say that.
02:04 I just wanna tell you that I know
02:07 how friggin' hard you're working.
02:10 Other people may not know but I know
02:12 and I'm gonna tell you, you're great.
02:14 And I thought, oh my God, that's the greatest thing.
02:18 - I am working so hard.
02:19 - I know, no, totally.
02:21 - I'm so tired.
02:22 - Exactly, that's exactly right.
02:24 I've gotten several messages
02:25 from young Asian American women
02:28 saying just how excited they are
02:30 to see my face on screen on the show.
02:33 So I think those have been really nice messages to get.
02:36 - Yeah, I mean, I've kind of had a similar experience
02:39 and I've gotten lengthy emails and DMs
02:43 just about how much the show means to them
02:46 and how much people and young girls resonate with,
02:51 or belly resonates with them
02:52 and that's always really special.
02:54 - I've gotten similar messages
02:56 just around the subject of the show as well.
02:58 Like it's nothing to do with my character
03:00 but just like families who go through,
03:03 mom having cancer and being sick
03:06 and how they're dealing with that
03:08 and how the show really helped them process those feelings.
03:12 So those are really sweet messages.
03:14 - We can't vote on this.
03:15 - I know, we can't vote on this.
03:16 - Yeah, I don't know if we can vote on this.
03:18 - Definitely all three.
03:20 - And all four.
03:21 - Your story was pretty good.
03:22 - Yeah, everyone's a winner.
03:25 - The next question is, what is your best hidden talent?
03:29 - I can write my name with my toes.
03:31 (laughing)
03:33 - I think you're not out.
03:37 - I did it as a kid
03:39 and then my daughter came up to me at the end
03:40 and she's like, "Mommy, I can write my name with my toes."
03:43 (laughing)
03:47 - I mean, I can do that like clover thing with your tongue.
03:50 - Oh, me too.
03:51 - Oh.
03:52 - I got that.
03:53 - That's not, that's a fact that's--
03:54 - I don't even know what I'm doing right now.
03:55 - It's also genetic.
03:56 (laughing)
03:58 - I'm a good bowler.
03:59 - That's a handy one.
04:01 - Yeah, it's hidden.
04:02 - Bowling.
04:03 - But I can bowl, yeah.
04:05 - I once peed in a urinal standing up.
04:09 - Wow.
04:10 - And aimed it.
04:11 - Oh, that.
04:12 - I guess I have to follow that
04:13 but I'm very good at ping pong.
04:14 (laughing)
04:15 - That was my other, that was my second thing.
04:16 - Oh my god.
04:17 - She's my daughter.
04:18 - I know.
04:19 (laughing)
04:20 - We're really good.
04:21 (laughing)
04:23 - I don't have to go with the toe writing.
04:25 - The toes.
04:26 - The toe writing is just so--
04:27 - We're all useful.
04:28 - Ping pong, bowling.
04:30 - Yeah, the tongue thing.
04:30 - Yeah, but what if something happens to your hand?
04:34 You can still write to people.
04:37 - If you could bowl with your toes,
04:38 that'd be really impressive.
04:39 (dinging)
04:41 - Okay, the question is,
04:42 what's the most embarrassing thing
04:43 that's ever happened on set?
04:45 - I broke my foot on set.
04:47 I feel like that was pretty,
04:49 that was kind of embarrassing.
04:50 Chasing Sean for a muffin first season.
04:55 - His fault.
04:56 - And tripping wrong.
04:57 Yeah, like within the first month of filming, I think.
05:02 - I feel like I, in general, am often hungry
05:06 and my stomach is like,
05:07 (mimics stomach growling)
05:09 I was like, what is that sound?
05:10 I'm like, it's me again.
05:12 - Mine was probably when I was filming Clueless,
05:15 I was really homesick.
05:16 And I used to be really into rollerblading.
05:19 And I would just rollerblade around the lot
05:22 and I'd go through the buildings, down the stairs.
05:24 And then there were these guys in golf carts
05:26 and I thought they were playing with me
05:27 and then I got a ticket in my trailer.
05:29 (gasping)
05:29 - Oh my gosh.
05:30 - Yeah.
05:31 - Oh my gosh.
05:32 - I didn't know they gave tickets out for rollerblading.
05:34 - Yeah, what?
05:36 - I was doing a movie with John Travolta
05:38 and I came and I went and got my food at the caterer's truck
05:42 and I came back and he went, wow, that's a lot.
05:46 (laughing)
05:47 That's a lot of food.
05:48 I think I was a little embarrassed.
05:50 - You got shamed for your lunch.
05:51 - Yeah.
05:52 - Yeah.
05:52 - Yeah, nobody needs to shame you for your lunch.
05:54 - Freaking amazing.
05:55 - Yeah.
05:56 - Greatest caterer.
05:57 (laughing)
05:57 - In Petaluma, California.
05:59 - Every once in a while, you know,
06:00 you get, it's like late or whatever,
06:02 not even late and you get like the giggle fits.
06:05 And so Lola and I couldn't stop laughing this one day
06:08 and I like tripped on the carpet sitting down
06:10 and like, I don't know if that made it.
06:12 Do you remember that?
06:12 - What?
06:13 - I was just, couldn't keep my--
06:14 - I'm like vaguely, I'm like, which time?
06:16 - Stuck together and then like tripped into the chair
06:18 and was just like, this is a serious scene.
06:20 Like this is, nothing's funny about this.
06:22 Like I need to collect.
06:25 But that's always embarrassing.
06:26 - I'm gonna vote for Lola.
06:27 - I'm gonna vote for Lola.
06:28 - Okay, Lola.
06:29 (laughing)
06:30 - Thank you.
06:31 (laughing)
06:32 - Thanks everyone.
06:33 - Me.
06:34 - What is your best impression of Conrad?
06:36 - What?
06:37 (laughing)
06:39 - Mine's.
06:41 - Oh, he goes.
06:43 - Belly?
06:45 - All the time.
06:46 - He's like, belly.
06:49 But like when he's like being serious, you know?
06:53 Belly, I don't know.
06:55 - I feel like he's like.
06:56 (laughing)
07:00 - The hair.
07:01 - Gotta say, Rain's like stare through the camera
07:04 was pretty accurate.
07:06 As someone who did Zoom chemistry reads.
07:08 (laughing)
07:10 - I like the what.
07:11 - Me too.
07:12 - Yeah, I like the what.
07:14 - Oh, you like the what?
07:15 - Yeah.
07:16 - I was gonna say, I just see Rachel's brooding.
07:19 That was really good.
07:21 - Yeah.
07:22 - I really like that.
07:23 (upbeat music)
07:25 (cheering)
07:27 - My hidden talent.
