In a recent conversation published by Variety, actor Adam Scott opened up about his long-standing friendship with co-star Kristen Bell. The discussion touched upon their current projects, including Bell's latest film Nobody Wants This, but it also delved into the amusing antics of Bell and her husband, Dax Shepard. For the past few years, the couple has been playfully harassing Scott with what he describes as “hilarious and deeply flattering, but also deeply insulting” voicemails related to his popular Apple TV+ show.
Kristen Bell unapologetically shared that both she and Dax find the endings of Scott’s show “so biologically frustrating” that they feel compelled to send him lengthy, unedited voice memos. Scott noted, “And you got a lot of those.” The couple's enthusiasm for the show is evident, and their voicemails add an entertaining layer to their friendship.
One particularly memorable voicemail from Dax Shepard showcased his exasperation with a cliffhanger. Bell recounted that Shepard “pretty much screamed into the voice memo, ‘Hey, Adam. Kristen just fell out of a two-story window. I bet you’d like to know how she’s doing. I’ll tell you next week!’” This moment highlights not only their friendship but also the engaging storytelling that keeps viewers hooked on Scott's series.
Reflecting on the extensive hiatus between the first and second seasons of his show, Adam Scott reminisced fondly about receiving a voicemail from Bell and Shepard. In this amusing message, they inquired, “Hey, just curious, are you guys shooting this one minute per week? Why is it taking so fucking long?” Bell’s witty response was simply, “Give us the show!” This exchange perfectly captures the playful dynamic between the trio and the excitement surrounding the series.
The heartwarming takeaway from this conversation is that Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are not only adorable as a couple but also incredibly supportive friends. Their humorous approach to voicing frustrations about the show's pacing and cliffhangers adds a delightful twist to their relationship with Adam Scott. However, this also serves as a reminder that one might want to think twice before sharing their phone number with such an entertaining duo!
