FunTranscript
00:00Please welcome, the incredible, beautiful, effervescent, Megan!
00:21Oh, you smell good.
00:23Hi everybody!
00:26Hi!
00:27Oh, hi buddy!
00:29Don't be such a dog person!
00:35Aww.
00:37May I sit on this side?
00:38Wherever you like.
00:44Hi! Hi baby!
00:47You're just bookended and flanked by the two of us.
00:49Oh, I love it.
00:50Just surrounded by love.
00:53So, okay, I'm so excited.
00:55Thank you for having me.
00:56Thank you for coming here.
00:58I've been watching your show, With Love, which is really, really wonderful.
01:06And I think they go together.
01:11To me, it is thoughtfulness, behavior, how we show up for each other, how we invite people in.
01:19I feel like once I'm with someone, I mean, I like to connect.
01:24I might, you know.
01:25I've heard you like to connect.
01:26Octopus, you know.
01:27I really do.
01:28That's so sweet, though.
01:29I'm such a warm person and I love affection.
01:32How do you feel about that?
01:34I just think it's really important.
01:35We've missed human connection, certainly after the pandemic and everything else.
01:39And we crave that.
01:40We crave being able to go, hi, and like, my friend, are you here?
01:44And to really be able to hold and touch and embrace someone.
01:48So I think about, with the show, certainly what hospitality has felt like for me is how do you make people feel comfortable?
01:54How do you show up for them in spaces where they might feel like, I don't know, is this really where I should be?
02:00Go, yes, you belong here.
02:01And let's all have fun with it and not take it too seriously, but see each other.
02:05You do make life really beautiful.
02:09Like, the homemade kiss party.
02:11Oh, that was stunning.
02:12With Mindy Kaling, who I love.
02:15Oh, my gosh.
02:16She's such a rock star.
02:17Great.
02:18But also that was what was, I think for me, really fun about doing the series is I could have some of my older friends, friendships that I've had since middle school even, that are still in my life.
02:28And I think at the end of the day, you just really want to be able to show up with those people and equally meet people exactly where you are today.
02:35So Mindy's a great example of that.
02:37Or some of the other guests that came on that I hadn't had close bonds with, I knew a little bit of.
02:42And then you just get to play.
02:43And you're in the kitchen playing and making mistakes and having fun together.
02:47And I think that's what I'm hoping translates.
02:49Can I tell you something?
02:50I've heard from people over the years that, and I watched, you know, Harry and Meghan on Netflix, of course.
02:57And so I feel like, you know, we were given a nice sense of you guys on a very beautiful, intimate note.
03:04Every time I ever know anyone who knows you guys, talk about how hot, this is the key word, everyone, and they're different people from different walks of life.
03:13They go, they're so hot for each other.
03:15And it's hearing you, there is such a romance to it.
03:22And every time I see a photo of you, you're holding hands, you're kissing.
03:28You are so affectionate.
03:32So again, it's like, I know this is really you.
03:35Because Harry, may I call him Harry?
03:40Yeah, I call him H.
03:41Yes, of course.
03:42Okay.
03:43That's his name.
03:44Mr. Sussex.
03:45Harry, who I have always loved so much.
03:49Oh, he's very lovable.
03:51He's easy to love.
03:52He just, he's been through extraordinary things.
03:56He's come out the other side.
03:58I admire some rebelliousness.
04:00I have some too.
04:01I think he's so amazing.
04:02I've been such a uber fan of his.
04:05And I don't know him at all.
04:07But watching as we've all watched him, I got to meet his mom when I was seven years old.
04:12Oh, I didn't know that.
04:13I have a picture, actually, that I'll get.
04:15It's upstairs.
04:16Yeah, you have to share that with me so I can show him.
04:18It's me presenting her with an E.T. doll.
04:21And it was one of the most special moments of my life.
04:25And I loved her so much.
04:28And I think the world of him.
04:31And he found you.
04:34I mean, look, life is full of surprises.
04:36I did not expect to meet H and for this to be our love story.
04:40And, you know, I'm very lucky.
04:42I am married to the funniest, sweetest, most charming.
04:49I mean, he's all the things that you're describing.
04:51And he's an amazing father.
04:54And so, you know, I count my blessings because I have him and also I have a partner who is so supportive of me.
05:05And so I will tell you just, you know, when I was a babysitter nanny for two Irish Catholic families when I was in college.
05:13And one of the dads said to me, he's like, you know, Megan, when you meet your person one day,
05:20I want him to say to you the same thing that I said to my wife when we got married, which is I vow to always date my wife.
05:27And I told H that when we started dating.
05:30He goes, I vow to always date you.
05:32So we have this connection, I think, because we're so committed to treating each other the same way you did before you had a ring on it,
05:42before it was locked down, when you're just courting each other and you can see all the good and joy in that butterfly period.
05:49And that's, I think, what keeps things really alive.
05:51And it becomes part of your love language.
05:53It's how you communicate without saying a word.
05:55You just show up for each other in those ways, big and small.
05:58And so, you know, we love doing school drop off and pick up for the kids.
06:01We make it a point at least, I don't know, during the week, our days are busy with meetings,
06:06but we have lunch together every day and have that middle of the day catch up of what's been going on.
06:11How are your meetings? Okay, great, back to it.
06:13But we just make it a point to date each other.
06:16It's felt amazing.
06:20Honestly, it's felt just so amazing and fun just showing up.
06:24I mean, even being away and out here, I always make it a point when I'm traveling,
06:28if I can't do bedtime stories with my kids, because Archie and Lily are just three and five.
06:32So I'll always pack a really thin book and I'll videotape myself reading it.
06:37Whoever's with them or Papa can say, here's Mama reading your bedtime story.
06:41You find ways to show up for each other.
06:43And if that's the one thing that I can convey through the show or through As Ever as a brand,
06:47I want people to know you can show up for each other because you know how good it feels when someone shows up for you.
06:52So thank you for showing up for me too.
06:54I was so excited to do this.
06:56And also, we're going to make some cookies.
06:59Oh yeah.
07:00I literally cracked open your jam, got a spoon, and went in and housed it.
07:07It's so good, you guys.
07:09Oh, thank you.
07:10And so we're going to make some shortbread thumbprint cookies.
07:13And it has a little of the famous jam.
07:15Yes, and I'll tell you, so unless you want to talk about all that over there, you tell me.
07:20Yeah, let's go to the kitchen.
07:21Yeah, should we do it?
07:22Yeah, after watching you in the show, I can't wait to see you in the kitchen.
07:25Oh my gosh, okay, let's cook something up.
07:26Let's go, we'll be right back.
07:27Oh my gosh.
