SCANDOVAL w/ Kay Cannon

It's the most dramatic episode yet, as Amber & Lacey welcome the very much loved Kay Cannon. Kay is an expert on Vanderpump Rules' #Scandoval and is kind enough to give Amber & Lacey a crash course before the start of the "Celebrity Expert Quiz". It's hotter than the bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos Lacey has in her recording space and also the lime version which happens to be Amber's pick for "Can You Stand It". Lacey has a new skill that she wants everyone to know about (Amber doesn't like it) and Kay wants to turn listeners on to a special kind of workout (intenSati by Patricia Moreno). The "Biggest Fan in This Room" game goes off the rails when they try to fill in the blanks of Kay Cannon's personal stories. So that everyone wins, we will share Kay's answers as a bonus in the show notes below! Enjoy! ----- Hey Biggest Fans of Kay Cannon! Here are some of her personal short stories that she shared with our producers. We all wanted you to have them too: 1. Having summers off from school…               Working at the Polk-a-dot Drive Thru for $2.85/hr. After one shift and taxes taken out, I made a whole $16! But I got to eat all the french fries and mozzarella sticks I wanted!  2. A time your stomach was in a knot         Easier to answer when it ISN'T in a knot. Every time I take on a new job, my stomach gets crazy. Always feel like I'm going to barf. If I don't feel like I'm going to barf, I shouldn't take the job. It's gotta pass that barf test!  3. A souvenir that you cherish?        Jimmy Choo gifted me Cinderella's glass slippers after "Cinderella" (wrote and directed) came out. I also have a yellow audition cup from "Pitch Perfect."  4. Playing a sport as an adult…        Love it! I learned to play tennis and ran a marathon (without training). I know pickleball is considered an old person game but I don't care. I love the shit out of that pickleball. I'd play basketball again if I wasn't so afraid of getting hurt.  5. Coaching sports…        Double love it! I was a graduate coach at Lewis University for Track & Field and coached my daughter's soccer team. I was also a coach of an improv team. Does that count? I find it extremely satisfying to teach and watch other people win or get better at something they care about.   6. You just cleared security check at an airport …          And I'm exhausted. My double masks having gotten entangled with my glasses and are now useless. I have to go back because I forgot my fucking scarf in a container after pulling my back out trying to quickly remove my overpacked carry on.  My shoes are off and I'm walking barefoot. I'm TSA pre-check but for whatever reason it didn't say that on my ticket. Oh, and my other bag? It's in a line of bags needing to be checked because there's a tiny water in there that I forgot was in there.   7. A moment in the writer’s room…       "30 Rock" room: We would play this game called "Lookey-stare-y" where someone would look through the hole of a paper towel roll. They would pan across all the writers, who would intentionally have sad faces and then land on my face -- which was smiling from ear-to-ear. Guaranteed laughter.  8. Growing up with many siblings…      I was raised in a pack. I never developed a good sense of direction because I would just follow the pack. West is always left. I have always described my childhood as "wonderful chaos." It was very loud, very competitive, and for the most part, crazy fun. I was the runt of the group so I had to learn how to be scrappy.  9. A moment in NYC …    SO MANY. 1. After an SNL afterparty, a group of us were walking to the after-after party and I turned to see what I thought was a guy holding a bong. He was actually holding his peen/balls and jerking it. He said, "What's up?" with a big smile on his face as I walked past him. 2. I once lived above Eliott Spitzer's prostitute. Ashley Dupre. I knew her as Ashley Yomen. We went on a double date. She cooked a lasagna in my oven. I borrowed a club shirt to wear to an SNL taping. 3. My husband, Eben, asked me to marry him on the pier off the west side highway. 4. Saw Spring Awakening five times, including opening night where I watched Lea Michele cry her eyes out during bows. The curtain went down and all the other actors left the stage and she stood there crying into her hands. 5. Tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center: Jack Burditt and I showed Rockefeller security a 30 Rock script we each had written to prove that we worked for the show and they let us go all the way -- as close as you could get -- to watching the tree get lit up. I could go on and on about all the craziness and fun and weirdness (I also got divorced while I lived there) while living in NYC.  10. Important lesson from improv class…    NEVER EVER judge someone from the back line while watching a scene. I saw that happen all too often. How dare you judge. You should be thinking about how you can "yes and..." and make better of a tricky situation. If you are judging, you are a dick. Important lesson is to never be a dick. 11. Life moment you’re so proud of…    Cliche but... any moment I share or observe of my daughter, Leni. She da best.  12. Coaching sports…        Double love it! I was a graduate coach at Lewis University for Track & Field and coached my daughter's soccer team. I was also a coach of an improv team. Does that count? I find it extremely satisfying to teach and watch other people win or get better at something they care about. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
