How many of Ellen’s parties did we both attend without ever meeting? We’re not sure, but we’re glad our paths finally crossed in 2021 at her Spirit Untamed screening in Burbank. At the time, Rachel knew Eva from a podcast and Eva knew Rachel simply as “Ellen’s gay friend.” One drink at MacGuffins Bar turned into a request for a ride home, and Rachel basically never got out of the car. Four years later, we share a house in LA with three cats and a dog. We’re lucky the pets all loved each other from the start, and as it turns out, we did too.
