Dax Shepard (0:00)

Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Expert. I'm Dax Shepard, and I'm joined by Monica Badman.

Monica Padman (0:05)

Hi.

Dax Shepard (0:06)

Are you just cleaning up your computer over there?

Monica Padman (0:08)

I am.

Dax Shepard (0:08)

Okay, I hope you get it spick and span. We have a returning guest, but first time in person, and the difference was profound.

Monica Padman (0:17)

I couldn't believe that, because he, we had him on in COVID, and that was revealed when we were talking to him, and I had such, I had like, if you had asked me to bet half of my money, I would have said we had him in person.

Dax Shepard (0:31)

Yeah, that's a testament to his charisma that even through the computer screen, you thought, you know, of course we're talking about Dave Franco. Dave Franco is an actor and a filmmaker and a cutie pie. His credits include Together, Regretting You, Now You See Me, Hoppers. He has a new movie in theaters August 28th called Idiots, and another movie September 25th in theaters called Forgotten Island. Please enjoy The Charming Dave Franco.

We get support from Quince.

Monica Padman (1:02)

You know what I think about a lot? The stuff in my closet, I actually wear. Like not the trendy pieces. The sweater that goes with everything or the pants that fit perfectly. The tee you kind of just throw on without even thinking. That's what Quince does. They make those pieces.

Dax Shepard (1:15)

That's right. They have a hundred percent Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at $60. Organic cotton, merino wool, quality you'd expect from a luxury brand.

Monica Padman (1:26)

Luxury without the luxury price tag. We love that. They skip the middleman, go direct to ethical factories and pass those savings to you. We're talking 50 to 80 percent less than some more brands.

Dax Shepard (1:36)

I'm so excited for fall simply because I love my cashmere sweaters from Quince. I also got to add that right before I left Nashville, I was assigned the task of putting all the bedding back on my children's bed. I got to fold first the Quince sheets and comforter, then unfold them and put them in. The entire time I was spreading it all out, I was like, by God, they really are so soft. It's crazy.

Monica Padman (1:58)

They are. I also have a pair of sheets from Quince that are really good. Honestly, what sets Quince apart is that everything feels intentional. These are timeless, versatile pieces designed to be the dependable stuff you reach for day after day. You're not buying something just for right now, you're buying something that's going to be in your rotation for years.

Dax Shepard (2:15)

They've also got hotel quality bedding and bath, kitchen essentials, even furniture. So if you're doing any kind of refresh at home too, same quality, same prices across the board.

Monica Padman (2:26)

Quince just gets it.
