I really, really appreciate this.

You look great. How are you feeling?

How's the fam? How is everyone doing?

-Oh, my God. Thank you so much for having me.

We're good, you know? Big picture, we are --

You know, we're good. We are home.

We've been -- We've been "A" students about it.

We've just been -- You know, we've been here.

-Doing what you're told, wearing the masks.

-Yeah, doing exactly what I'm told, wearing masks.

-Good. -And, you know, so we've just

been spending a lot of time together and, you know --

I mean, now we're in, what, month three?

So I think we've had every emotion on the planet

that you could possibly have over the past three months.

We've had some really nice times and some low times.

But we're doing it all together, so it's nice.

This is -- It's really the first time

that we've been, all four of us, you know,

at this stage in our lives, have really been truly

living our lives together all the time.

It's nice. -That's one of those things

people keep saying, yeah.

The silver lining to this, if there is a silver lining,

is that I'm getting time with my family

that I never would ever possibly have.

-I mean, I'm like -- I'm, like, one of those people

that's like I actually, like, really love my kids

just being with me all the time.

Like, I love hanging out with them.

This is a fun age. -Oh, really?

-We watch a lot of horror movies together.

-They're into horror. Interesting.

-That's been our thing. And we like to do it in the day.

-Yeah, smart. Yeah. See, good.

Then I can come over whenever this is done.

'Cause I can't do horror movies at nighttime.

It gives me nightmares. -Yeah.

So whenever you fly over, come over

and watch horror movies in the morning with us.

-I mean, Nancy will watch a "Dateline"

as we're going to sleep, and I go, "I can't do it anymore."

-No, no, no. Can't do it.

-It freaks me out. -I need a nice, safe,

romantic comedy before I go to bed.

-I did "Gilmore Girls" for years.

-I just started "Gilmore Girls."

I just started it. -You're going to flip!

-I'm on episode -- I'm on episode 2.

-You're going to flip. It is great.

-Oh, my God. And my daughter's into it.

So, okay. -I will write down --

-Good to know. Good to know. Okay.

-I think I know who your favorite character will be,

and I will write it down, and almost like a magician,

I will open it next time you're on the show,

with a date, and I'll tell you who your favorite character is.

-Okay, okay. -Okay?

-Deal, you're on.

-I was gonna ask you, how are you talking to your kids

about the protests and everything that's going on

with the police reform and what we're doing and all this change?

Is it tough?

-Well, you know, my kids are older,

in the sense that they're not toddlers,

and they do have access to the world,

and they talk to their friends.

Their friends have older siblings.

And, you know, I mean, Joel and I have always felt like

the biggest gift that you can give your kids

is to be honest with them and to be truthful with them.

And, you know, I mean, like,

they are capable of understanding

what's going on in the world.

They know, you know? And they are capable of empathy

and, you know, showing compassion

and, you know, I think, like, one thing that Joel and I

are so proud of is that, like,

I mean, these kids are passionate.

You know? I'm thinking about like

who I was when I was 11 and 12.

Like, I only cared about "Beverly Hills 90210."

And they -- I mean, they know what's going on.

They are like -- You know, their friends are out.

They didn't protest, but their friends are going to protests.

They're having little TikTok protests and their icons,

you know, say Black Lives Matter.

They're, you know -- They are --

They are excited, and we want to

keep their excitement and that momentum in them,

knowing and believing that they really can create change.

-That's amazing. You brought up Joel.

How has -- Has fame gone to his head

now that he's a star on "Nikki Fre$h"?

-Yes. Mm-hmm, yeah.

-Will he ever talk to me ever again?

-No, probably not. Probably not.

He's like full-blown Joan Crawford.

[ Both laugh ]

I did have to convince him a little bit

to even be on the show, because being on TV

is not his favorite thing to do.

But, you know, it was just that one scene,

and that one scene kind of actually did happen,

like, before -- before this show --

Before I even created the show, I wanted to do a comedy album,

and I wanted to do it under Nikki Fre$h,

and I wanted to make this album

about growing your own fruits and vegetables.

And I spoke to Joel about it a little bit at home.

But, you know, when you talk to your spouse at home,

it's like, "Okay, okay." So I called the office,

I set an appointment. So, I went in,

I set a meeting with Joel and Benj,

and I walked in there with a Rupi Kaur poem

and read one of my favorite poems

which inspired this rap album, and I was able to --

I was able to see -- be able to, like,

notice their reactions to say, we need to re-create

what just happened in this show because I do think that that's,

like, the perfect introduction to the actual show.

-Well, how did you come up with the name Nikki Fre$h?

-Well, I started growing my own fruits and vegetables

about seven, eights years ago,

and I started posting my harvests on Instagram

because that's what Oprah did, so I was like,

"I have to. I have to, also."

And I got a lot of online engagement.

And I would say by my fourth like, I was like,

"I need a stage name."

And so I came up with Nikki Fre$h.

-Yeah. -And then, you know,

my friends started, like, making fun of me,

like, "Oh, you know, you're such an old lady.

It's not cool. Da da da."

And I was like, "Wait a minute.

How did gardening get that reputation?"

Like, I actually think it's the most cool

and exciting and fun and wild and spiritual.

It's like all the things, and I was like,

"How can I communicate to the masses

how, like, amazing this is?

I'm gonna do it through trap music."

But then I was like, "I can't disrespect the genre

because I love trap music,

so I'm gonna create my own genre,

which is parent trap." -[ Laughing ]

-It's trap music about loving the universe

and being at one with nature and growing your own

fruits and vegetables and eating organically and all the things.

-It's on Quibi. How many episodes are there?

-There's six episodes on Quibi, and then, at the end

of each episode is a new song and music video.

-Dude, you can rap. You're unbelievable.

-[ Sighs ] Thank you so much.

-[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.

Did you know you had that in you?

-Um... Well, I kill at karaoke.

That's what I will say.

So, I was like, "I've listened to enough Eminem.

I can do this."

-You are -- It's phenomenal.

It's -- It's crazy. I can't even tell you.

-Thank you. -It's so good.

And do the kids like it? -No.

-[ Laughs ]

See, I feel like that's what's gonna happen with my kids.

-Yeah. No. They don't.

They are mortified. They do wear the merch.

They love wearing the merch,

and all their friends wear the merch.

So I feel cool. -That's something.

-Yeah. That is something.

-Thank you so much for coming on the show.

And honestly... -Thank you.

-...you're putting out good into the world.

And thank you for that. And thank you for --

You know, we love you. -Thank you so much.

-From Nancy, as well. She loves you.

-Tell Nancy I love her.

-Okay. Bye, pal. Thank you so much.
