FunTranscript
00:00Thank you so much for being here.
00:02Thanks for being on together.
00:04Is it fun doing press together?
00:06Yeah. At first, I was very --"
00:08I don't think I was good at it, but now I'm better.
00:11So I get nervous sometimes.
00:13Sometimes she gets nervous.
00:14She gets --" You know, no one knows this.
00:16She's the shyest, most famous person in the world
00:19at the same time. It's insane.
00:21Yeah, how do you --" I love my --"
00:22Because I feel comfortable with, like,
00:24let's talk about something else.
00:25Okay, good, yeah.
00:27Like, when you go to the Oscars, look at this.
00:29Two stunners right here. Look at this.
00:30You just show up. No big deal.
00:32Super --" Just a couple supermodels
00:36walking down the carpet.
00:38Did you have fun at the Oscars?
00:39I did. It was my first time attending.
00:42And, of course, as an actor,
00:44that's such an iconic moment for people.
00:47And I was --" I had a great time, a lovely time.
00:50And how about you, Benny?
00:52Getting her there was so hard.
00:53It was --" I'm telling you, you know, first of all,
00:56women deserve, like, a Medal of Honor.
00:58She goes like this.
01:03She's --" First of all, the dress is 35 pounds, okay?
01:06She's carrying a 35-pound dress,
01:08and her heels are 8 inches high.
01:11And then she has to stand on a bus while we're moving
01:14because she can't sit down. You can't sit in it.
01:16And they're sewing her into the dress while we're moving.
01:19She's --" It was --" I --"
01:22And what did you do?
01:23Nothing. I look like a slob.
01:25What do you mean?
01:26That's so wild.
01:28You both have been on the show,
01:29but since you've been on the show,
01:31Fantastic News, you got engaged.
01:33That's the best!
01:35Come on!
01:37Oh, I love that!
01:39You're two of the nicest, coolest people, creative people.
01:43Here it is.
01:44Online, you posted,
01:45"'Forever' begins now."
01:47Ah, beautiful.
01:49And Taylor Swift said,
01:50"'Yes, I will be the flower girl,' which is..."
01:54What was it like on the day that Benny proposed?
01:57I'm assuming. Did Benny propose, yeah?
01:59Yeah.
02:00She proposed.
02:01It could be, yeah.
02:02Did you know it was coming?
02:03I could have.
02:04Did you know it was coming?
02:05No, not at all,
02:06because we had to do a lot of promo for the album.
02:08So I was --" I woke up, and I was very confused
02:12on what was happening on where we were going
02:15because it seemed kind of far.
02:16So I'm kind of a little grumpy.
02:19I'm like, I really am tired.
02:21This is too far.
02:23So then I tell him, I say,
02:24after this shoot, I'm going to go hang out with my friends.
02:26And he starts, I guess, going,
02:29uh, okay, sure, we'll see when you get here.
02:33You're freaking out, like, don't ruin my moment.
02:35Of course I'm freaking out.
02:36She was mad, she almost didn't even come.
02:37She was like, I really don't feel that well.
02:39I think I'm just going to stay home today.
02:40Can't we just make up the shoot another day?
02:42And I was like, uh,
02:43and I'm like trying to figure out a way to do it.
02:44First of all, getting engaged to someone
02:46is the craziest thing in the world.
02:48It's like, right before you're going to tell someone
02:50you're going to be married to them forever,
02:52they're like, show me how good you can lie to me.
02:54It's the hardest thing in the world.
02:56It's so hard.
02:57And I was just...
02:58I can't think about that, but yeah.
02:59I tell her everything.
03:00So it was like, she was just upset with me
03:02because like the day before I was like making bad lies.
03:05And like...
03:06But where was the ring?
03:06Did you have it like hidden?
03:07Was it in a box somewhere?
03:08Was it in the...
03:09It was in a box and I had it hidden in a bag
03:12that I thought no one would go in.
03:14I was so, it was the scariest week of my life.
03:17Yeah, dude, I remember this.
03:19Yeah, and that's why,
03:20and then it went off totally without a hitch.
03:22It was great.
03:23I guess so.
03:24Yeah.
03:24And she said yes.
03:26I freaked out.
03:27I forgot everything.
03:28You did?
03:29Instantly.
03:30And now you're planning.
03:30Now you're planning the wedding
03:31and I'm sure the music's going to be amazing.
03:33Well, yeah, I'll definitely,
03:36we're not definitely not planning exactly at this moment,
03:39but we do want to make sure that the music's good
03:42and I'm going to let that be his job.
03:45Will that be your move?
03:46Honestly, we haven't even figured anything.
03:49We've been moving so quickly.
03:50It's like, she's carrying a 35 pound dress at the Oscars.
03:53You think we have time to figure out our marriage plans?
03:55Yeah, that's true.
03:56Yeah.
03:57But I think you're a very romantic guy
03:58because every time you post a nice loving thing,
04:00I'm like blown away.
04:02I'm like, every girl would like love,
04:05here's something you post for Valentine's Day.
04:06Look at this.
04:08♪ Cause I'm not scared of love ♪
04:11♪ I'm just scared of losing you ♪
04:14Tortilla chips.
04:15♪ I'm not scared of anything ♪
04:16And a bad tuffle of queso.
04:18♪ Darling, if you're gone, I'll find someone new ♪
04:23A bad tuffle of queso.
04:27Who else does that?
04:29That is hilarious.
04:30I love nacho cheese, especially the movie theater ones.
04:33Yes, it's the greatest, nacho cheese.
04:36No, honestly, that wasn't even the real thing.
04:38The real thing we did is, so she's sitting on the phone,
04:42she's talking to her grandma, and I walk in,
04:46and this might not make sense to a lot of people here,
04:48but I walk in with a bag of Whataburger, okay?
04:50Whataburger is not in Los Angeles,
04:53that's where we live.
04:54So I had a friend drive all the way from Vegas,
04:58give me all the parts of the Whataburger separately.
05:00I'm like looking-
05:01Wait, you like Whataburgers?
05:03It's her favorite.
05:04It is their favorite in Texas,
05:05that's where I go every time I'm there.
05:07The Whataburger, wait, so you get a Whataburger?
05:11And I get all the stuff separately.
05:12I'm like figuring out how to put it together.
05:14I got doubles of stuff,
05:15because like first time I burned the fries,
05:16and I'm like, I even got the ice separate,
05:19like found the right ice.
05:20The actual ice that they put in the soft drink.
05:22Yes, and I bring it up,
05:24and she told me it's the second best thing
05:27I've ever done for her.
05:28She said, almost as good as the wedding ring,
05:30and I was like, that's a lot cheaper than a wedding ring.
05:33Whataburger, that is very romantic.
05:35I thought it was very thoughtful,
05:36and it made my night, it was one of my favorite moments.
05:39Aw, see, that's what I'm talking about, I love you.
05:41Come on, let's talk about the record.
05:42I said I love you first.
05:44You've worked on music before together,
05:47now it's a full album.
05:49How do we set up what the vibe of the album is?
05:52I think for us, it was actually an exploration
05:56of each other's present, past, and future.
06:00So the music was very fun, but cathartic,
06:05because we got to get to know each other on a deeper level.
06:10Were you afraid that you were gonna get tense?
06:12I was like, in the moment, if we start bickering,
06:16we're not gonna do it.
06:18But he's just really, I mean,
06:20he's so gentle and such a good communicator,
06:23and I think I feel very lucky
06:25that we had a lot of fun collaborators
06:28that are friends with both of us.
06:30Oh, gosh, Phineas is on here, Gracie Abrams.
06:32I love that jam.
06:35Call Me When You Break Up.
06:36It was fantastic, I love that jam.
06:38Sunset Boulevard, I love.
06:39That's kind of like 80s, kind of synthy type of fun.
06:42I love Scared of Loving You,
06:44it's almost got a little Weepies vibe to it.
06:46I loved it, it's just so many different sounds on here.
06:50And I just go, oh, this was totally made with love.
06:52Two people that, like, get it.
06:54It was awesome.
06:55This is fantastic.
06:57Congrats on it, and it's out.
06:58It's out officially now.
07:00Oh, yeah.
07:00It's out.
07:01Oh, yeah, it is out.
07:03Get it.
07:03Yes, get it.
07:05While you're promoting the album, Benny,
07:08you just went to this snow cone shop in Texas
07:12by where Selena grew up with,
07:13and she loves a certain type of snow cone,
07:16and you brought it with you tonight for me to try.
07:18I did.
07:19What is the snow cone?
07:20And it's scaring me, it's next to me.
07:22You say what the snow cone is.
07:23You know, when I was a kid,
07:25I would go to this tiny snow cone place,
07:28and I can't believe after all this time,
07:31I'm 32, it's still there.
07:33It's very sweet, so they know my order.
07:36They're always like, welcome back, and it's just sweet.
07:39So he did a pop-up event there,
07:41and it went, you know, you can talk about how well it went,
07:45but he actually got my favorite Icy
07:49and froze it and brought it here.
07:51So you're gonna try my favorite.
07:53And what is your favorite?
07:55This is?
07:56Pickles with chopped pickles and ice.
08:00Oh, pickle juice.
08:01So this is just pickle juice and ice.
08:03Yes.
08:05How did they even put this on the menu?
08:08Like, I'd never heard of this.
08:09Oh, my God, do you smell that?
08:10That's so good.
08:11Do you remember, like, years ago,
08:14you came on and you made me dip popcorn in pickle juice?
08:18Yeah, that's a fun.
08:19And I actually loved it.
08:20It was great.
08:21Now, how are you with pickles?
08:23I love pickles, but she's like another level.
08:25It's insane.
08:26I asked the lady, I said, do a lot of people order this?
08:28They said nobody except her.
08:29She's the only, since she was a kid.
08:32I have three spoons.
08:34I was like, I want to try.
08:35I have three spoons.
08:37Here you go.
08:38I'm so excited.
08:38Cheers.
08:39Cheers to your new album.
08:41A little pickle in there, some ice.
08:50It's good.
08:55It's not as fresh.
08:58Sit down, he's having a meltdown.
09:01It is unbelievable.
09:04I'm sorry.
09:05That really is a good, good.
09:07I can't believe they don't sell more of those.
09:10It's so good.
09:11Oh my God.
09:12That's all you, bud.
09:14You can take that home.
09:15You're the best.
09:16Thank you for bringing this.
09:17And it's past midnight.
09:18So we can say the album is officially out.
