Rachel Sennott and Jordan Firstman, the dynamic duo from the HBO series "I Love LA," have taken their friendship beyond the TV screens and into the world of digital payments. The pair recently teamed up with Venmo for the second film in their "Between Friends" campaign, which hit the internet on April 22. Highlighting Venmo's Stash rewards program, the video captures the two friends indulging in sushi – a staple of West Coast living – while playfully showcasing their signature humor.
“We were lucky to work with a brand that we already use every day,” said Firstman, reflecting on the authenticity of their portrayal. “It was pretty natural and everyone was pretty aligned that they just wanted it to feel like two friends talking and feel true to life.”
In the video, the pair adds their comedic twist as they explain the perks of Venmo’s Stash rewards to an unsuspecting delivery driver. Sennott humorously admits to using Venmo for the sushi order, and when she realizes she forgot to mention the rewards program, she dashes out to enlighten the driver – a classic move in the world of SoCal improv comedy.
Their partnership with Venmo comes as a natural extension of their onscreen chemistry in "I Love LA," where Sennott and Firstman play best friends Maia and Charlie. The show, which debuted in November 2025, instantly resonated with fans, thanks in part to its portrayal of genuine friendship. As Sennott puts it, “We’re so lucky. We get to make a show in L.A. with our friends and the most amazing crew and cast. It’s just the best.”
Firstman echoes her enthusiasm, noting that working together not only solidifies their friendship but also enhances their creative collaboration. "It taught us that we are lifers with each other," he remarks, underscoring their unique ability to blend personal and professional ties seamlessly.
As fans eagerly await another season of "I Love LA," the anticipation builds for what new adventures Maia and Charlie will embark on. Firstman teases the idea of a road trip episode, playfully suggesting, “Hey, take us to Hawaii, Rachel!” With new characters on the horizon and more of L.A.'s vibrant backdrop to explore, the series promises to deliver the same rich tapestry of humor and friendship.
The undeniable bond between Sennott and Firstman ensures that whatever projects they dive into next, their fans are in for a treat. Whether it's through the lens of a camera or the swipe of a Venmo transaction, these two stars shine brightest together.
