"Do YOU think Midge and Joel should end up together?"

It's always a fun time hanging out with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel stars Rachel Brosnahan and Michael Zegen (aka Midge and Joel Maisel themselves!) but just add a bunch of puppies to the mix and, well, it's downright *marvelous*.

Rachel and Michael sat down to answer YOUR fan questions, but, mostly, they were overwhelmed with how adorable the pups were. (Extremely relatable, right?)

But between cute puppy moments, they were able to give us a lot of fun details about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Here are some of the highlights:

1. First of all, they shared some scoop about what we can expect from Season 3, and it sounds bigger and more wonderful than ever. (Hello, Sterling K. Brown!)

Rachel: "I think it’s no secret that we’re on the road a little bit this season. Sterling K. Brown has joined the cast."

Michael: "She does some standup."

Rachel: "I do. The audiences keep getting bigger and bigger for Midge’s standup."

2. Michael and Rachel revealed that some of their favorite episodes were the Catskills ones from Season 2. Particularly, Rachel loves the one where Abe (Tony Shalhoub) watches Midge do standup for the first time.

Rachel: "I feel like we’ve been building to that moment since the beginning of the show, and it did not disappoint."

3. Rachel watched Ali Wong's standup comedy, particularly Baby Cobra, to help prepare for the role of Midge.

Rachel: "I felt like Ali and Midge have a very similar sense of humor. I would love to have her on the show."

4. Michael would love for Billy Eichner or Steve Martin to guest star on the show.

5. Rachel and Michael have known each other since long before Maisel — they did a script reading together back when Rachel was 19. That friendship really made them feel more comfortable when they eventually auditioned for Maisel.

Michael: "Before I went into test with you...I was like, I got this."

Rachel: "I felt the same, to be honest. I knew the minute we started reading together that it was going to be you."

6. The fans are very pro Benjamin (Zachary Levi) and Midge, but Michael and Rachel have mixed feelings about who she should end up with. (Yes, even Michael who plays Joel!)

Michael: "I’m Team Joel for obvious reasons. But I thought you and Benjamin had some good chemistry."

Rachel: "Do YOU think Midge and Joel should end up together?"

Michael: "Maybe someday, but not right now. I think right now he needs to let her do her thing."

Rachel: "I agree. But, I really love how their relationship has evolved over the last couple of seasons...There are a lot of Benjamin Stans."

7. Alex Borstein is, unsurprisingly, a lot like her character, Susie, in real life.

Rachel: "But like Susie, she has a squishy interior, I think."

8. Rachel and Michael have both had different-yet-hilarious experiences filming with Tony Shalhoub on set.

Rachel: "Have you ever shot a scene with Tony late at night?"

Michael: "He gets cranky.

"

Rachel: "No, not cranky. He gets slap happy! And he laughs at all his own jokes."

Michael: "He’s cranky in the morning."

Rachel: "No, he’s not!"

Michael: "He’s a little cranky in the morning."

9. And, finally, an extremely important Maisel-adjacent fact: They revealed their go-to deli orders.

Michael: "I like matzo ball soup and pastrami or corned beef on rye. And pickles."

Rachel: "I like a turkey with coleslaw sandwich."
