00:00
Okay.
00:00
No, I do it.
00:02
Once again, zero answers for this game.
00:11
Who is the better secret keeper?
00:16
Why is it taking us so long?
00:19
What are we writing?
00:22
It was a one word answer.
00:24
No, but you were writing too.
00:26
Okay.
00:27
Oh!
00:28
All right, ready?
00:29
Yeah.
00:30
Ms. Jessica Secrets.
00:33
I'm really good, but I think you're also really good.
00:35
I don't know.
00:36
No.
00:37
No?
00:38
Okay, this is good to know.
00:39
I like everybody, I tell everybody all my business.
00:43
Okay, and I tell nobody nothing.
00:45
You tell nobody none of the business.
00:47
That's true, I say nothing.
00:48
Which is why we're properly cast.
00:50
That's right.
00:51
Who is most likely to be arrested in real life?
00:59
You.
01:00
You would be most likely to be arrested.
01:02
Don't you think?
01:03
Yeah, 100%.
01:04
Have you been arrested?
01:05
Not yet.
01:06
Okay, there's time.
01:07
Can't wait.
01:07
Also, you being arrested, you would get out of it.
01:10
I would not.
01:11
I would be like, oh God, here we go, okay, take me in.
01:14
And she would talk her way out of being arrested, and then she would go on with her life.
01:19
It'd be great.
01:19
I've played people who've been arrested.
01:21
Okay.
01:22
And so I've had to go to the jail and like do the whole like intake situation.
01:27
It's a strip search, guys.
01:29
They're going right up in all the cavities.
01:31
That's what they call them during the search.
01:33
It's a cavity search.
01:34
Oof.
01:35
I'm already anti the whole situation.
01:38
So I am more likely to be arrested, but I also don't really want to be arrested.
01:43
Fair.
01:44
I don't either.
01:45
Because I know what it entails.
01:46
Correct.
01:47
Which Aerosmith music video did Jessica appear in?
01:50
I can't remember the title of that.
01:52
This is embarrassing.
01:53
I don't want to play anymore.
01:54
No.
01:55
I don't know any Aerosmith.
01:56
Let me see.
01:57
I know like two Aerosmith songs.
01:58
I was thinking about this.
01:59
Well, I mean, I know way back.
02:00
And I couldn't remember what the song was.
02:02
I was like 18 and a half.
02:05
I was in college.
02:06
Is it the one from the Armageddon movie or whatever?
02:09
No.
02:10
You know that one?
02:11
Yes, but it's not that one.
02:12
I don't want to.
02:13
Close my eyes.
02:14
Close my eyes.
02:15
I don't want to fall asleep.
02:16
I don't want to fall asleep because I miss you, baby.
02:20
I don't want to miss a thing.
02:21
Is that it?
02:22
Is that the answer?
02:23
Because it wasn't a popular one like that.
02:26
Oh.
02:27
Now, did you meet Steven Tyler?
02:29
I don't think I did.
02:30
There are black holes of my past.
02:32
Yeah.
02:33
Which is becoming more apparent to me as I get older.
02:36
I can't remember shit about so many things.
02:39
And I think that one got blocked out because I was painted completely in silver.
02:43
What?
02:44
Bathing suits.
02:45
I can't wait to YouTube those immediately after this.
02:47
In complete silver painting.
02:48
And I think the only reason they hired me for that was because I was in school in Boston.
02:52
Oh, right.
02:53
And they were there and they were shooting there.
02:54
Yeah.
02:55
I just happened to be there.
02:57
I didn't know I was going to be painted silver and I didn't know I had to dance weird.
03:00
Please don't Google that.
03:01
I'm 100% watching it right after this.
03:03
I know.
03:04
I know.
03:05
What is Elizabeth Banks' real last name?
03:08
Oh, shit.
03:09
It's not Banks?
03:10
What do I know?
03:13
I don't know.
03:14
I don't know.
03:16
That's so fun.
03:17
I really don't know.
03:18
Mitchell.
03:19
Mitchell is my last name.
03:21
I did not know.
03:22
Like Beverly Mitchell, your friend.
03:23
Like Beverly Mitchell.
03:24
Yeah.
03:25
I did not know that answer.
03:26
There is another Elizabeth Mitchell.
03:28
She was on Lost.
03:29
She's also blonde haired and blue eyed.
03:31
Oh, you gotta change it.
03:32
So when I was joining up SAG, they were like, no, no can do.
03:35
You can't be Elizabeth Mitchell.
03:36
So I was like, all right, well.
03:37
Where did Banks come from?
03:38
Made it up.
03:39
It's great.
03:40
It's made up.
03:41
It's a great name.
03:42
I had a long first name.
03:43
I like Elizabeth.
03:44
I didn't want to be Liz.
03:46
And so I picked a bunch of one syllable words and I made a list.
03:52
Alphabetized it.
03:53
Banks was the top of the list.
03:54
Called SAG.
03:55
Ran it by them.
03:56
They said, that's available.
03:57
I'll take it.
03:58
Really not a lot of thought went into it.
04:01
But I love having a different persona than Elizabeth Mitchell.
04:05
Like my husband will say things to me.
04:07
Speaking of a past and like a different life and the path you're on.
04:11
I'll do some things.
04:12
Everyone smile on my husband and go, well, that was a real Liz Mitchell thing right there.
04:16
And I'm like, yeah, that's who she is.
04:18
What was the first feature film Elizabeth directed?
04:22
I don't think I know this answer.
04:24
You could probably guess.
04:25
I feel like I know it, but I can't access it.
04:29
You ready?
04:30
Yeah.
04:31
That's perfect too.
04:32
Okay.
04:33
That's it.
04:34
There you go.
04:35
Fellas are all friends and they live very interesting lives.
04:38
But like, it's not going to be how it was.
04:40
Right?
04:41
Like they're not in college.
04:42
They're like grown ass ladies, you know?
04:44
Is that what the audience wants?
04:47
And also we would never want to be, we want to do it when the audience is like, yes,
04:50
we really, really want it.
04:51
You know, you never want it to be like, you're just money grabbing.
04:54
How many seasons of seventh heaven was Jessica in?
04:57
I don't even know if I know that answer.
04:59
Four.
05:00
Like full seasons?
05:01
Four.
05:02
I think you're right.
05:03
Four.
05:04
I think she's right.
05:05
She left early.
05:06
I know that.
05:07
It ran for 11 seasons.
05:08
Yeah.
05:09
But I think I did a couple of episodes for five and six.
05:13
Like I did a handful.
05:14
But I wasn't like fully in the whole season.
05:17
Only one through four.
05:18
So what you're saying is I'm correct.
05:19
She's right.
05:20
What I remember is that I went into that audition and in the scene, I'm playing basketball
05:26
because my characters, you know, I thought that it would be unique if I spun an invisible
05:33
basketball on my finger in the audition.
05:38
So I did that.
05:40
The invisible basketball spin move got the part.
05:44
You know what?
05:45
They could see you at a great imagination.
05:47
They really could.
05:48
You're like, oh.
05:49
Yeah.
05:50
What Maroon 5 music video did Elizabeth appear in?
05:53
Okay.
05:54
No fucking idea.
05:55
Once again, zero answers for this game.
05:59
Maroon 5?
06:00
What's the name of the song?
06:01
Okay, good.
06:02
You too.
06:03
You don't know it either.
06:04
No, but I can see the whole video in my mind's eye because it's me and like every lady
06:07
that's ever worked in Hollywood.
06:08
Okay.
06:09
Basically.
06:10
I can see that in my other video too, but.
06:12
Girls like you.
06:13
How does that go?
06:15
Anybody?
06:16
Anybody?
06:17
Who is more squeamish with blood?
06:27
No!
06:28
I don't know.
06:30
I actually love blood.
06:31
I do too.
06:32
I have no issue.
06:33
I know.
06:34
I honestly was like.
06:35
I wasn't sure how to respond to that.
06:36
Because I knew that neither one of us are squeamish.
06:38
Yeah.
06:39
I mean, it's all smoke and mirrors.
06:40
You know, that's the fun of Hollywood.
06:41
You're like joking around, getting blood all over your hands and then you're like,
06:44
anyway.
06:45
Moving on.
06:46
I mean, I made cocaine bear.
06:47
I love blood.
06:48
I want gore.
06:49
I want your brains all over the camera.
06:50
Yeah.
06:51
And I did Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
06:52
Yeah.
06:53
We were just covered in blood at all times.
06:54
Yeah.
06:55
Screaming and freaking out and crying.
06:56
And then Candy stabbing everybody.
06:57
Yeah.
06:58
Axing up people.
06:59
It's so fun.
07:00
I have no issue with it.
07:01
No.
07:02
I think we do it at work so we don't do it at home.
07:04
You know, we don't actually like stab people at home.
07:09
I'm staying silent.
07:10
She did stay silent.
07:11
Who is better at staying calm in chaos?
07:17
Come on.
07:22
Okay.
07:23
J.B. Smooth.
07:27
J.B. Smooth.
07:29
J.B. Smooth is a person, but Jessica Biel is what it meant.
07:32
I just added the smooth because it felt fun.
07:34
She smoothed in the face of the chaos.
07:36
Really smooth.
07:38
Keep it together.
07:39
Make sure everybody's alive and well.
07:41
And then probably lose your shit later on at home.
07:44
Yeah.
07:45
I don't know.
07:46
Maybe it's a bit of a mom quality.
07:47
I don't know.
07:48
I'm not sure.
07:49
You're holding a lot together right now.
07:51
Yeah.
07:52
You see me.
07:53
Who is most likely to solve a murder mystery in real life?
07:57
I don't know the answer because I feel like you're going to say you.
08:04
Yeah.
08:05
I think I would solve the murder mystery too.
08:07
You would.
08:08
It would take you a little bit longer.
08:09
Maybe.
08:10
But only because I practice more.
08:11
Well, like I escape out of rooms.
08:13
That's like a thing I love to do.
08:14
So do I.
08:15
I escape out of rooms.
08:16
Yeah.
08:17
And like the game, I play a lot of games.
08:19
She would absolutely do it.
08:21
I just think if we were in a competition to do it.
08:23
Yeah.
08:24
You probably would have an edge.
08:25
You might have the edge.
08:26
She might have the edge.
08:27
She might have the edge.
