Hey, hey, what's up? It's Gustavo Ariano, and you're listening to The Times, Daily News from the LA Times.

Once a week for the next couple of weeks, we're going to feature an episode here of our sister podcast, The Envelope, because I always find the conversations between our hosts and the actors that they talk to, they're always fascinating, and Emmy season's also coming up.

Here's to hoping that Cobra Kai and Vanderpump rules win all the big awards.

But first up, we get the inside scoop behind the TV show Grace and Frankie with its stars and legends, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.

They talked to my colleagues, Mark Olson, and Yvonne Villarreal about friendship, aging, and Hollywood.

Enjoy! aging in Hollywood. Enjoy.

Mark, I've missed you.

It's so nice to be back together again.

I always look forward to this time we're actually going to be talking to each other instead of sending like a two-sentence message to each other on our work slack.

And also I know during the time that we've been apart, we separately took actual vacations,

which is such a rarity for both of us that I know I at least am feeling very rested and ready.

Well, good, because we have a lot of work ahead of us.

In the new season of the envelope, we're waiting through the deep, deep

waters of Emmy season. And I don't know if you've noticed, Mark, but there's a lot of TV.

Some would say now too much TV, and I know that I've said it here before, but I don't know how

you all on the TV side make it work. I mean, I watch a lot of movies, but those are just a couple of hours.

You have to watch now all these new series that have all these new episodes.

I don't know how you get through it all.

It's why it takes me so long to respond to your slacks.

You know, it's a nice problem to have when there are such good performances to watch, which

leads me to our guests.

We're kicking things off in a big way with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
