In this episode, Kelly and Ryan invite Emmy on the show to discuss her upcoming project, her life on and off the screen, and her experiences in the acting industry.

As the show begins, Kelly and Ryan welcome Emmy with warm greetings, and Emmy explains how happy she is to be there. The conversation then moves to Emmy's new project, a series called Angelyne on which she serves as both producer and star. The actress shares some insights on her role in the project and how it was the first time in her career that she served as an executive producer.

Kelly and Ryan then ask Emmy about how she balances her work as a producer with acting under her own production. Emmy explains that she draws inspiration from other producers and tries to learn from their experiences. She also shares some details about how Angelyne's story came to her attention and how, as a UCLA student, she was already dazzled by the billboard model's public persona.

The conversation then moves to Emmy's life, and she talks about her husband, Sam Esmail, a writer, and director, and how they have been spending their time together. She also shares about how they met, and how they connect on a personal and professional level. Emmy goes on to mention how Sam's involvement in Angelyne made it more challenging for her to produce and act simultaneously, but ultimately it was a fun project they got to do together.

After a quick commercial break, Kelly and Ryan return to the stage and continue the conversation with Emmy. They ask about her experience with Shameless, and how it feels to have been attached to a project for such a long time.

As the show progresses, Emmy also opened up about her accolades and nominations from the Television Academy Awards and her experience winning an award. She also shares how special it felt to go from being a nominee to a winner and being recognized in that way.

Towards the end of the episode, Kelly and Ryan take some time to play a quick game with Emmy.
