Miranda Cosgrove just let people know that she has never smoked in her life while appearing on Josh Peck’s podcast.

The Drake and Josh star, 37, asked his former costar “‘Have you ever done anything bad? Like, do you drink? Do you do any of that?”

Cosgrove, 30, replied, “I’ve never been drunk in my entire life. Crazy.”

Shocked at the response, Peck, 37, asked on the response to which Cosgrove admitted, “I don’t know. I’m open to it.”

The former Amanda Show actor went on to state, “Someone get this girl s**t-housed, would ya? I mean, this poor girl has never experienced being drunk.”

In the past, Miranda has opened up about the pressures of being a teenage star.

Cosgrove further went on to say, “I truly don’t have a good reason. I’ve never even been buzzed. I’ve sipped things before, but like two sips.”

Cohost Ben also subsequently posed the question, “I assume then that like weed is also off the table? You’ve never smoked anything or you have?”

Miranda responded, “No, I’ve never smoked anything. I had an edible, like an edible brownie, and I fell asleep for like 17 hours. I woke up super rested.”

On whether her lack of results from “a limiting part” of her, Miranda elaborated on why she believes she’s never tried drugs despite the abundance of opportunities available to young adults in Hollywood.

Peck pointed out that Cosgrove had many chances to “get buzzed” on the Hollywood party circuit and asked if she had a “limiting part” of her that stopped her from drinking. She admitted that it could play a small role, but explained that it actually stemmed from her friend group.

“I think it started off because I was always the designated driver when I went out with my friends, and I sort of liked taking on that role, and got used to it, and just kind of stuck with it forever,” she said. “But yeah, I’m open to drinking. I’m still planning on it at some point… even though I’m 30. I should’ve done it on my birthday, my 30th.”

Peck and Cosgrove have frequently kept in touch over the years, with Peck even landing a reoccurring role on the iCarly reboot, playing Carly’s new manager. While a Drake & Josh reunion does not seem to be happening in the near future, Cosgrove still wants to find a way to reunite with Peck as brother and sister.

“I’m really close with Josh. I think he’s one of the best people ever,” she told PEOPLE in June, noting how “awesome” it would be to play siblings onscreen again. “We’ve actually talked about that a little bit before, maybe someday doing something together.”
