How do you say, where's the restroom in Spanish? Dónde está el baño?

Hey Meta, is a hot dog a sandwich?

**Chris Hardwick** (0:17)
Technically no.

Spiritually, yes.

Hey Meta, what should I do with my life?

Ask anything with the new Meta Glasses. Welcome to I Think You're Overthinking It episode number 1172
Still available in Watcho Vision. You can watch the show with just your ears or also with your eyes at AMC plus. If you have that, if you're subscribed to that or also if you have YouTube. It's also on video format on Spotify, but also just audio. So either way is fine, honestly.
Again, just appreciative that you're along for this podcasting ride. This episode is Alanna Ubach who is one of the most talented performers working today. Not only a phenomenal actor, but so incredibly funny. And Alanna has been in so many amazing things going like all the way back to the early 90s. Sister Act 2 you would have seen her in, and the Brady Bunch movie, and then just so many television shows, so many animated shows, so many video games. Like her IMDB page is a scroll. There's so much good stuff in there. You know, like she does voices on American Dad, voices on Family Guy, but also is in current hit television shows like Euphoria and Ted, and just has such an incredible career. And it makes me laugh. I just, she makes me laugh so hard. And I love this episode, so I hope you will also appreciate I Think You're Overthinking It, episode number 1172 with the amazing and hilarious and talented Alanna Ubach. Let's roll the thing.
Alanna Ubach, first of all, I just want to, A, thank you for being here, and thank you for noticing my outfit.

**Alanna Ubach** (2:49)
My pleasure, I like you so much. I wish we were neighbors.

**Chris Hardwick** (2:53)
I wish we were neighbors, too. And I love that you have pointed out that my, what did you refer to my wardrobe as? Shades of wheat?

**Alanna Ubach** (3:02)
Yes, very subtle shades of wheat.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:05)
Winter wheat. Winter wheat.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:08)
Yes, back in the 90s, when I was trying to Anglinize myself during audition season, I would highlight my hair in different shades of winter wheat and caramel.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:18)
Oh my god, audition season. Remember when there were audition season? There was a season?

**Alanna Ubach** (3:23)
Audition season.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:24)
Pilot season.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:25)
Yes.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:26)
Started in January, kicked in February, March. You shot the pilots in April and they did the up fronts in May.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:31)
Absolutely.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:32)
You'd get four auditions a day, 13 pages. You'd go in and they'd be like, just do the third scene. You're like, I just memorized like 30 pages.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:39)
You got four auditions a day?

**Chris Hardwick** (3:41)
One time.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:42)
One time.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:43)
Yeah, it happened one time.

**Alanna Ubach** (3:44)
Got it. Okay, I was about to throw this in your face. Out of envy.

**Chris Hardwick** (3:48)
Like a very strong reaction, just because one time I got four auditions a day. Your resume is so solid, you've guessed it on so many, don't think I don't know that you were on a diagnosis murder, but also like Sister Act Two, Legally Blonde one and two, the Ted series, Hacks, Euphoria, and then In-Between is just an incredible list of things.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:16)
I say yes to everything, I just do.

**Chris Hardwick** (4:20)
But they're good things, but by the way, Brady Bunch movie is probably the best television series adapted for a film, in my opinion.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:29)
Wasn't that awesome?

**Chris Hardwick** (4:31)
Yeah.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:31)
I mean, Betty Thomas nailed it.

**Chris Hardwick** (4:34)
Nailed it.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:35)
So good.

**Chris Hardwick** (4:36)
Honored the original, still had fun with it.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:38)
Yeah.

**Chris Hardwick** (4:39)
It was sort of a meta film where it was like you were in on it, but no one played it. Somehow they were playing the characters from the show, but they, the actors, none of you were winking to camera.
You were very committed.

**Alanna Ubach** (4:55)
Very committed. We were in that, you know, we were really in that. How about Christine Taylor?
