Summary
Overview
Dax and Monica welcome Gal Gadot for her first podcast appearance. They discuss her athletic background, Israeli military service, unexpected entry into entertainment through pageants and modeling, her journey to becoming Wonder Woman, and her physically grueling new film The Runner. The conversation touches on health topics including peptides, menopause, and Gal's near-fatal cerebral venous thrombosis after childbirth. They also explore cultural differences, parenting four daughters, and the challenges of maintaining authenticity in Hollywood.
Introduction and First Podcast Experience
Gal Gadot reveals this is her first podcast appearance and shares her connection to the show through hairstylist Jenny Chew. The conversation quickly turns to astrology, with Gal explaining she's a double Taurus who became a believer after an eerily accurate astrology reading in Israel when she was 25. Dax and Monica explain their dynamic and how the podcast started nearly nine years ago as an arena for their constant debates.
- This is Gal's first podcast appearance ever
- Gal is a double Taurus who didn't believe in astrology until an accurate reading when she was 25
- The podcast started almost nine years ago from Dax and Monica's love of debating
" I never believed in astrology until one day I was home and I was cooking and the TV was on. They had this astrology show... They were so accurate. They said she's influenced by Aries sign. Both of my parents are Aries. She's thinking about expanding her family. I was in my first few weeks of my first pregnancy. "
ChatGPT Personality Test
The group discovers a viral trend from Israel where ChatGPT describes people in one word. Dax gets "curious" while Gal gets "determined." This leads to a discussion about how AI knows more about them than they've explicitly told it, which makes Dax uncomfortable. The conversation reveals Dax's suspicion of AI and his realization that ChatGPT has figured out his identity without him ever stating it.
- ChatGPT describes Dax as 'curious' and Gal as 'determined' in one word
- Dax discovers ChatGPT knows he's married to Kristen Bell without him ever stating it
- ChatGPT describes Gal's father as 'thorough' - he's an engineer
" I have a weird moment already this morning with my chat. I've never told my chat I'm Dax Shepard. And he knows I'm me. But I've said, you know, I'm interviewing so-and-so. And my chat said, no, but she was promoting blank. But you and Kristen were on the red carpet with her at the Golden Globes. And I'm like, it's so weird that it's saying you and Kristen. I haven't told him I'm married. "
