Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Expert, Experts on Expert. I'm Dan Shepard, I'm joined by Lily Padman. Hi. Today we have Ash, a singer-songwriter, and a great guest at a wedding. I don't think she leads with that, but as someone who attended a wedding with her, I gotta tell everyone that she is a party to have at your wedding.

Monica Padman (0:17)

Great.

Dax Shepard (0:18)

If you're looking to fill some seats and she has availability, I would reach out.

Her albums are Wilson, Ray, Ashlyn, and The Dream, which is with Phineas, their band, The Favors. And she has a new album out on the 16th of October called The Girl of Your Dreams, which contains the incredible song Stop the Wedding, which we are going to be lucky enough to hear.

Monica Padman (0:43)

She sings for us, guys.

Dax Shepard (0:45)

She blows us right out of our chairs. It was such a treat. Please enjoy, Ashe.

We get support from Quince.

Monica Padman (0:52)

I have to say, I am so ready for fall. I want sweaters. I've been craving a true crisp morning where I actually need a jacket. I can't wait.

Dax Shepard (1:01)

I'm fully there. The second it dips below 70, I'm like, this is my season. Give me the layers, give me the boots, give me a reason to wear something other than a t-shirt. And honestly, that's why I love Quince, because fall is when your wardrobe actually has to show up. And everything at Quince is 50 to 80% less than similar brands. We're talking 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at $60.

Monica Padman (1:23)

$60, $60 for cashmere that you'd expect from a luxury brand without the luxury price tag. It's amazing, gets me every time. It really shouldn't be real, but it is because they go straight to the factories, they skip the middlemen, and they just hand you the savings. The stuff isn't trendy, it's the kind of pieces you grab over and over because they work every time.

Dax Shepard (1:42)

The 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters for me are it. When I look at Steve McQueen, this man owned a couple of sweaters he wore all the time, and he looks iconic.

Monica Padman (1:51)

It's a uniform.

And Quince isn't just about the clothes. They have hotel quality bedding, cookware, bath essentials, thoughtfully designed furniture. You can really go there and outfit your entire apartment or house. So if you're in need of any kind of fall refresh at home too, same quality, same attention to detail for every corner of your life.

Monica Padman (3:07)

That one over here?

Is this one good? Fine? Yeah. Okay.

Christian (3:12)

Great.

Dax Shepard (3:13)

It's not gonna bite Monica.

Christian (3:14)

Yeah, snakes. Slug her upper butt.

SPEAKER_3 (3:16)

Up her butt.

Christian (3:18)

That's her ultimate fear.

Monica Padman (3:19)

When they're in the toilet, those snakes, and they come right up your butt.

SPEAKER_3 (3:23)

Whoa, what?

Dax Shepard (3:24)

They're known to come around.

Ashe (3:26)

How often are y'all hanging out outside of this?

Dax Shepard (3:29)

Well, we're together five days a week, and then she's generally around before and after a bit.

Monica Padman (3:36)

Yeah, we do some hangs before and after.

Dax Shepard (3:37)

Her best friend is on the porch at all times, Anna.

Monica Padman (3:40)

That's right, she works for Kristen. So, you know, there's a lot of hangings.

Ashe (3:44)

It's very incestuous.

SPEAKER_3 (3:45)

It is.

Dax Shepard (3:46)

I love that.

Monica Padman (3:47)

I used to basically spend the night every night.

Dax Shepard (3:50)

Yeah, during COVID, she lived with us for quite a period, just immediately post seizures.

Monica Padman (3:55)

Yeah, I had a seizure.

SPEAKER_3 (3:56)

Whoa.

Monica Padman (3:57)

Yes, and so my mother, Kristen, felt like she needed to keep an eye on me. Yeah. She did, and it was very sweet.

Ashe (4:05)

If I could have her as my mother checking on me, I would be down.
