Goldstein, aware of Barrymore\u2019s friendly habit of getting cozier with her guests, challenged her to a couch chicken game. The rule was simple: if one guest moved closer, the other had to do the same.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Brett Goldstein gets really close to Drew Barrymore during interview<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brett Goldstein appeared on the September 23 episode of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/8xF9S7n0D5E\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Drew Barrymore Show;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a>, where he and the host, as a part of the challenge, got incredibly close. The Ted Lasso star revealed that he\u2019s aware of Barrymore\u2019s friendly gestures toward her guests, which have received mixed reactions from the audience. He challenges her to be involved in a game \u2013 couch chicken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As he moved closer to her, Goldstein said, \u201cDrew, I have made a deal with myself. I\u2019ve seen your show, and every time you move nearer me, I\u2019m gonna move nearer you. So this is now a game of chicken, okay?\u201d Accepting his challenge sportingly, she replied, \u201cWow, someone\u2019s gonna give me a run for my money? Okay, I\u2019ll take it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">During their conversation, she spoke about her struggles to maintain physical proximity. She said,\u00a0\u201cIf you see me walking down the street with someone, I will be holding their hand, I\u2019ll be arm in arm, I\u2019ll be hugging them. None of this is fake. If anything, I really do have to restrain myself.\u201d\u00a0Goldstein further teased, \u201cThis is a daytime show, right? So there\u2019s limits.\u201d To this, she replied with \u201cEh.\u201d After the challenge, they continued their discussion and maintained their professional distance. Several fans took to the comment section and praised the duo for their chemistry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier, during a conversation on the Armchair Expert podcast, Barrymore addressed the backlash she received for not maintaining a physical distance from her guests. She said, \u201cI get in trouble for physical proximity on this show. I guess a lot of people say, like, \u2018You\u2019re too touchy,\u2019 about me. And I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s so\u2026\u2019 talk about shame and embarrassment. I\u2019m horrified when I hear that, and yet I can\u2019t stop.\u201d (via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/drew-barrymore-is-working-on-physical-proximity-between-her-and-talk-show-guests-8708429\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The podcast host, Dax Shepherd, understood Barrymore\u2019s point, noting that being friendly around her guests is a part of her personality, and explained how things would have been different if he were in her place. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of who you are,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is helpful that you\u2019re an average-sized lady. If you were my size, man-handling everyone, it might be a little different. So you might have a freedom I don\u2019t,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Originally reported by Shazmeen Navrange on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mandatory.com\/news\/1665015-brett-goldstein-drew-barrymore-get-close-during-show\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mandatory;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mandatory<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2025\/09\/24\/brett-goldstein-drew-barrymore-get-close-during-show\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Brett Goldstein Gets Real About Drew Barrymore\u2019s Touchy Interview Style;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Brett Goldstein Gets Real About Drew Barrymore\u2019s Touchy Interview Style<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drew Barrymore and Brett Goldstein are making headlines for their closeness during Tuesday\u2019s episode of her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show.
