I'm Amy Poehler, and joining me today is Aina Garten. Aina is just a delight. And we are going to talk about so many fun things. We're going to talk about her TV show podcast, Be My Guest. We're going to talk about the best way to cook carrots. We're going to talk about enriched uranium. And she arrives with the best gift I've received yet, and the first gift I've received. So I can't wait to show you that. But before we get started, we always like to talk to somebody who knows our guest and has a question for them. And we have a real humdinger on this one. I mean, just a comedic genius. Everybody's fave. I mean, what hasn't she done? Emmys, TV, movies, just a social activist. She's in her garden. She's protecting herself from the sun. She's wearing a giant hat. Her name is Julia Louis Dreyfus, JLD. This episode is presented to you by Walmart. I'd like to say that I'm a pretty good gift giver. And for me, it's about making the extra effort to find the perfect gift. Walmart has the top brands we all love in one place, Nespresso, Nintendo, Apple, you name it. That's why it has to be Walmart for all my gifts this year. Guest best gift giver award goes to yours truly. Get the brands everyone loves at prices you'll love at Walmart. Who knew?

Your hat looks great. Look, I don't know what else to do. I mean, look, at this point, we should hats, whatever scarves, whatever. Yes. Barb's hats. Oh my God, you're the best for getting on and doing this. Hi, friend. Hi, my friend. I'm so happy to see you. I'm so happy to see you too. And I was just thinking about the last time we saw each other, which was getting our hair colored. Yeah, at the salon. At the salon, where all the ladies go to meet. Are you in California or? I'm in California. I'm in Santa Barbara, California. And it's this hat. It is a very California hat. It is actually. But I do, in fact, this isn't bullshit. I actually do wear this hat all the time, because I'm conscious of getting too much sun. You know what? I was just saying, I was just telling someone that my dermatologist told me like, no more sun, like you're done with sun the end, period. Yeah. And are you listening to your dermatologist? I'm finally, I'm sadly, I've known this for many years, but I need to talk to you about and all the women listening about full sun shirts. I know everything. I can't wait. I knew you would. I knew you so much information for you. First of all, get this hat number one. I knew you would and I so appreciate it because first of all, baby, you look incredible. Well, nobody looks better than all the filters that are on this computer. Thank you as well. You at one point, you should do that zoom thing where you just get sun, you put sunglasses on yourself and then you turn into a cat and then the background turns into a beach. I wish I knew how to do that. Well, we're talking to Aina Garten today. Lucky you. And you know what? Before I even get into that, congratulations on your podcast and congratulations on your podcast. Thank you. Just two ladies having a podcast. Welcome to showbiz. Um, where did you first meet Aina on the podcast? Wow. You became pot. You became friends after the pod. Correct. Like real proper friends. Oh, cool. How did that happen? I don't know. I just feel like she's. Have you ever met her? No, never met her. Oh, well, you're going to just have the best conversation because she's as she's exactly what you think. She's completely authentic. She's very kind. She's obviously very intelligent. She's hilarious. She's just got a great attitude. She's incredibly cheerful. FYI, that's a question you need to ask her. Okay. Why are you so cheerful? And say it that aggressively. I mean, I actually mean that. I don't mean it sarcastically, although it counted it. But I mean, like seriously, why are you so cheerful? And also, what puts you in a bad mood? I'd like to know what really puts Aina in a bad mood.
