Speaker 1 And so we might take a day just to go over to Paris. And we talked about how great it would be to use Rosetta Stone to learn just a little bit of French before we go.

Speaker 1 I had a dream last night that it was the best episode we've ever done. So I couldn't sleep the rest of the night.
Got in here, fired up the old machine, and I'm now waiting on these guys. I am loose.

Speaker 1 I got a little bit of a sweat going. The hammies are pliable, flexible,

Speaker 1 and the jaw muscles are ready to really ask some tough questions and giggle at my funny little friends, Sean and Will. Guys, welcome to Smartless.
Smart

Speaker 1 Less.

Speaker 1 Smart

Speaker 1 Less

Speaker 1 Smart

Speaker 1 Less.

Speaker 1 Hi guys. Shut up, Sean.
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 I've never, I haven't laughed. laughed so hard as I did today when we were standing on the street.
We'd just come out of a

Speaker 1 meeting, the three of us.

Speaker 1 Like adults. Like adults.
And Sean,

Speaker 1 Sean starts to say something, and like he's doing right now,

Speaker 1 he undoes a top of a bottle of water and he's about to take his hip and or no, he's going to do it, and Jason slaps it out of his hand.

Speaker 1 Lands on the ground. And it lands on the ground.
Just a fun, just a fun little hair fall. Yeah, just a little fun, funny.
It's a plastic bottle, nothing broke.

Speaker 1 So I reach down to grab it because it falls at my feet, and I hand it to Sean. And as he reaches for it, I just drop it right before he can grab it.
Like it's not. Sean, that's twice.
That's twice.

Speaker 1 And as it lands on the ground, Sean reaches down to get it, and Jason kicks it.

Speaker 1 And it goes flying, hits a curb, and goes under a parked construction truck. It explodes.
The top comes flying off. The water's everywhere.
It's fucking funny. And I haven't laughed that hard.

Speaker 1 I felt the money. Because it was

Speaker 1 high school all over again. It was like,

Speaker 1 it was a little bullying. We're just, just, you know, it made me laugh.
It's just God, I laughed. It was clean, fun.

Speaker 1 Jay, did you like my cheesecake last night? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 1 I would have liked it a little firmer, Sean. A little.
Yeah, it was a little too fluff. You know, it was a little,

Speaker 1 it wasn't as gooey as the last one, so I feel like we're making progress. I like the last one.
Now, I say this as a person who I can't even boil water.

Speaker 1 So the fact that you cook anything is incredible. It's very impressive.
But also, I didn't know, Will, either that I didn't, I've never made whipped cream in my life.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that you just pour half and half or whatever in a bowl and whip it. And you just start, the special whipping column.
You just start whipping it. I was, my mind was born.

Speaker 1 I was like, oh, do you think it's a good idea that you've now learned how easy it is to make whipped cream?

Speaker 1 I think so. I think so.
I think you know what I'm doing in eight. Yeah, you missed out on a good cheesecake last night.

Speaker 1 But then I found out, then Sean told me that the secret ingredient that he drive an hour and a half for

Speaker 1 was

Speaker 1 a British chocolate

Speaker 1 Cadbury white chocolate bar. No, not Cadbury, it was another brand, but yeah, another brand that we're not going to mention, I guess.
We can if you want. It's called Milky Ball.

Speaker 1 We already mentioned Cadbury, so we're kind of committed. But there's a, there's a, is that, is that a thing? Is that normal that there's a white chocolate candy bar in most cheesecakes?

Speaker 1 Well, no, no, I just melted it to make kind of like the creamy part of part. It was one of many ingredients.
But it's sorry, listen, we thought you tuned into Smartlist. It's It's cookless this week.

Speaker 1 Bakeless. Bakeless.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 tasteless.

Speaker 1 And I was so obsessed with getting the ingredients right, I drove an hour and a half to get it because they don't sell them in the United States. And what did he do, Will, when he got it?

Speaker 1 So you drove to another campaign. When he drove an hour and a half away to get this.
What did he do while he was there? He's like, huh, well, look, here's a rare...

Speaker 1 hamburger joint that we don't have near us. Yeah, portillos.
Oh, that's why. To portillos.
To portillos. Yeah.
And he put a big burger in his face and a shake, too, I'll bet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I got a shake, a piece of cake, and I got fries and a hot dog and a piece of cake. Wait, wait, you got a shake.
For lunch? A piece of cake, fries, and a hot dog. And then a piece of money.

Speaker 1 And then two beef sandwiches. And what's that? Two beef sandwiches, one beach.
Two beef.

Speaker 1 And this is when you were on the mission. When you were driving a school bus? White chocolate.
Yeah. Well,

Speaker 1 I picked up the white chocolate. Were you buying for all the kids in the school bus?

Speaker 1 No. I never get it.
So I bought like a little extra stuff and I put it in the fridge. I'll heat it up later.
Good for you. Thank you.

Speaker 1 Guys,

Speaker 1 let's get started. Oh, wow.
I thought we had, but this is really exciting, guys, today. You're going to freak out.
Oh, it's your guest. It's my guest today.
I'm so excited. We got my favorite.

Speaker 1 Red-headed firecracker here today. She's a self-proclaimed computer nerd.
And before becoming one of my all-time favorite full-fledged movie stars, she made people websites for free.

Speaker 1 In fact, at 14 years old, she performed a PowerPoint presentation titled Project Hollywood in order to convince her parents to let her drop out of high school and move to LA from Arizona to pursue her dreams of becoming an actress.

Speaker 1 Thankfully, that dream came true so we could talk to her today. Her name is Emma Stone.

Speaker 1 Emma Stone.

Speaker 1 Emma Stone.

Speaker 1 And Emma's a little under the weather. I'm a little under the weather.

Speaker 1 I can't believe you showed up for us. Did you get into a big pile of bad Coke last night, Emma? Listen, you know what? You've been there, right? Right.
These meetings for you. Yeah, listen.

Speaker 1 We're saving a seat for you. I know.
Thank thank you. Are you at home or in a hotel? I'm in a hotel.
Is it a rehab? It's a home.

Speaker 1 She's been live for her first ever situation. Thanks for having me.
What an opening. Emma's been up for four days, listener.

Speaker 1 Emma, I don't think of you as a ginger, I guess, per se, when I think of gingers.

Speaker 1 But you are. You are blonde right now.
No, no, no, I'm not. I'm actually, I'm blonde.
I have blonde hair right now, and I'm, and I'm, I was born blonde.

Speaker 1 Well, I was born hairless, but then I grew blonde hair. Okay.

Speaker 1 Hairless is my podcast. Sure, give us the full

Speaker 1 bravo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and I dyed it red. Yeah, you were red for a while there, yes? For a long time.

Speaker 1 So much so that people thought it was that you were Natch red.

Speaker 1 Red Natch.

Speaker 1 But I'm not Red Natch. But wasn't it true? My mother's red Natch.
Yeah?

Speaker 1 You got to be careful with that.

Speaker 1 I have a son who's a Natch Ginge.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 we love a Natch Ginge. Oh, my gosh.
Do we ever love a natural ginger?

Speaker 1 So filthy from the very beginning.

Speaker 1 Wait, Emma, didn't fat Natchee ginge?

Speaker 1 Hey, man.

Speaker 1 Do you need a second?

Speaker 1 Take a nap. I've been up for days.

Speaker 1 I'm so excited you're on the show with us, Emma. Thanks, Richard.
But wait, didn't you diet originally, like when you moved here and you felt like you weren't getting parts or something?

Speaker 1 I feel like I read something and then you thought maybe your talent, which you're, you know, seeping talent, that that was. And that's what I was telling everyone.
Yes. And that's what I kept saying.

Speaker 1 And I went, no, no, no. That hair has yet to get.
But that you thought you had to dye your hair. Is that true?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was, because I moved to LA when I was 15. And so

Speaker 1 all of the things that I was auditioning for at that time were kind of, you know, like roles for 15-year-old girls at that time were a lot of girls that were very, I guess what I was up for was a lot of very blonde cheerleader-y kind of roles and I didn't fit those very well.

Speaker 1 And so I thought if I dyed my hair brown, it would really set me up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. How'd that go?

Speaker 1 You know, it went great, Jason. It went really great.

Speaker 1 I didn't get any parts after that either. But a couple of years later,

Speaker 1 I auditioned for Superbad.

Speaker 1 And I was at the camera test for that. And Judd Apatow said, well, maybe she could have red hair because the other girl in the movie, who's my best friend now, Martha McIsaac, had brown hair.

Speaker 1 And so we dyed my hair red and the rest was, you know.

Speaker 1 But was, did, is Sean's incredible research accurate? Were you really doing websites for people?

Speaker 1 Like, are you a computer person?

Speaker 1 I was in that

Speaker 1 kind of, you know, 90s computer format. I don't know if you guys know, you know, Angel Fire, GeoCities, that kind of world where you did a very primitive HTML.
This is not coding by any means.

Speaker 1 I would not, if you, in fact, I don't have a computer now. They lent me this computer to be able to do this with you guys.

Speaker 1 Oh, do not do it yourself. I'm like a Neo-Luddite now.
But back then, I was very into the internet and learning about, you know, building drop-down menus and things like that.

Speaker 1 I mean, primitive, like 1998.

Speaker 1 What are you looking for? When you're out there, you're looking. What are you looking for in a drop-down menu? Now, see, that's the thing.

Speaker 1 See, that's that's the thing. When you want somebody to step into the middle.
And this keeps me up at night.

Speaker 1 If somebody's looking to step into a really elite drop-down menu,

Speaker 1 if you're looking for great drop-down menu,

Speaker 1 you're in the market. No, okay.
It needs to be clear, clear, fonts. We're not using any Comic Sans on my drop-down menu.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 We're hitting Helvetica hard. You now are completely,

Speaker 1 you don't have a computer at all? I don't have a computer at all anymore. Come on.
Wow. I really don't.

Speaker 1 What about an iPhone? I have an iPhone, but it's a a very incredible new iPhone 15.

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 1 Sean?

Speaker 1 Doesn't add for you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you want to get rid of your old one.

Speaker 1 We're done.

Speaker 1 The cycle's over. Thank God.

Speaker 1 We enjoyed our experience, but oh, mama, was there a heavy rotation on it? Yeah. Sorry about that, America.
Wait, so you do, but you do, do you do email off your phone then?

Speaker 1 I do email on my phone, and I, you know, just type it with my thumbs. So no social media, no nothing else? No.
Love that. No.
Come on.

Speaker 1 No. That's refreshing.
Thanks so much. I was thinking yesterday.

Speaker 1 I said to a friend of ours, I says to him, I says,

Speaker 1 I says, friend, I says.

Speaker 1 I said, we should imagine, imagine the reset this planet would get if we had no social media for six months

Speaker 1 globally. Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be lost.

Speaker 1 What do you think would happen? Well, people would learn how to manage boredom, which I think is a lost talent. I know I try to teach my kids, like, it's okay if you're bored.
That's actually

Speaker 1 another word for relaxation. Like, enjoy it.
Take a breath. Being bored is okay.

Speaker 1 Like, not having anything to do with a red light or an elevator is a good time to kind of like reintroduce yourself to yourself for a minute.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, do you ever do that thing, Emma? Like, where you look at people? I've been doing a lot lately. Well, I don't know.
Where I look around and I go, everybody's on their phone. Every moment,

Speaker 1 if there's a down moment. And sometimes it's reflexive because people are nervous or

Speaker 1 they feel insecure.

Speaker 1 But when you wake up in the morning, you don't have like a loop that you have to, or that you like to do on a computer. With a good hand.

Speaker 1 What's your computer loop? Well, you know,

Speaker 1 you hit the New York Times and your email and your calendar and you kind of get your phone. I just do all that on my phone.
Okay.

Speaker 1 So I'm probably actually on my phone more than people that have a computer. But see, what I'm picturing here is that you've got no reason or excuse to get up out of the pillows.
Correct.

Speaker 1 You're still in the feathers. You reach over, you grab yourself.

Speaker 1 I'm just in a pile of feathers. Yeah, we'll see.
You sleep in a pile of feathers for real. What an angel.
What a little angel. I'm down.

Speaker 1 Well, what if, like, with a nice desktop, you could get out and into the living room and join the world?

Speaker 1 Get yourself a desktop. Get out of the rad.

Speaker 1 This is a great opportunity for a new segment. I'm calling.

Speaker 1 JB, walk us through it.

Speaker 1 No, you don't want to follow my morning. All right, so Emma, which one of your rad projects are we going to talk about today? We're going to, there's so many, but I,

Speaker 1 okay, so you answer that first. Oh, I don't know.
Which one would you like to talk about? I want to talk about childhood. I want to talk about all these good stuff.
I want to talk about it.

Speaker 1 It was your birthday last week. Happy birthday.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 Yes. Thank you.
I mean, lucky. Are we allowed to guess the age? Can we guess the age? Oh, this might be mean, but sure.
Go ahead. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 How about I'm going to go with 24.

Speaker 1 25.

Speaker 1 Will?

Speaker 1 I'm going to get real. Yeah, be real.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to be real. Will and I worked together when I was, I think, 19.
Yes, that's true. Really? That was a long time ago.
That is. You're going to win then.
So wait, then wait.

Speaker 1 Then, Sean, you go next. Okay.
I was going to say late 20s. That's very cute, Sean, and sweet.
True. I really don't know.
Are you truly north of 30? I'm north of 30. Oh,

Speaker 1 she is 37.

Speaker 1 35.

Speaker 1 You're the closest by far. Really? Yeah, 35.

Speaker 1 So young. You don't look 37.
I was was just guessing based on what the information okay well sure well okay no no no

Speaker 1 that's true we did we did uh we did uh work that was a long time ago i know

Speaker 1 what was the job do you remember it was called the rocker

Speaker 1 you didn't the rocker wait the rocker i still need to see and what was the other one i said i need to see the other day um uh hot rod All right. Well, let's not go through mine.

Speaker 1 Emma, go tell everybody who is in the rocker. Nobody's seen it.
Who is in the rocker? The cast is pretty hilarious. It was Rain Wilson.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jason Sudekis.

Speaker 1 You, Bradley Cooper,

Speaker 1 Fred Armison. Yep.

Speaker 1 Who directed this?

Speaker 1 A guy named Peter Catanio, who directed the Fulmonty. Peter Catanio.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 John Glazer. John Glazer.
Oh, yeah. The great John Glazer.
Who did Hot Rod? Who directed Hot Rod? That wasn't Yarmo, was it? Oh, Takiva. Yeah.
Gotcha. But

Speaker 1 the cast was pretty.

Speaker 1 It was pretty wild. Yeah, we were in Toronto.
We were in Toronto. And I feel like you weren't there for that long.
I was there for a couple months. I was there for a week, maybe.

Speaker 1 And what kind of part were you playing, Emma?

Speaker 1 Well, I was playing the bass in a band that was fronted by, it was sort of a school of rock adjacent, would you say, Will? Yeah, yeah, I would. Kind of story.

Speaker 1 Willie, what were you playing? Oh, I played the lead singer of

Speaker 1 a hair band. Yeah.

Speaker 1 True story. You

Speaker 1 You gotta check that. And Bradley was the guitarist and Fred was the bassist.
Nope. But it was but it was fun.

Speaker 1 But yeah, I mean, you have not, I'm trying to think, you just have not stopped working and doing awesome stuff since the moment I became aware of you.

Speaker 1 You've just been like consistently just doing cool thing after cool thing, great film after great film. It's pretty remarkable.
Not a lot of people are. It's rare.

Speaker 1 You haven't done anything as shitty as The Rocker since The Rocker is what Will is saying. I've done way worse movies than The Rocker.
The Willer since The Rocker. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Subjective. Well, I think maybe

Speaker 1 let's not go too deep through the IMDB or whatever. I want to know.
I met you once very briefly. You were so kind years and years ago, blah, blah, blah.
You never remember. I think it was at SNL.

Speaker 1 But I was like, oh, my God, that's Emma Stone. And then, so when I did my research for today, I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 Your name was Emma Lee. I want to know these guys.
I know why it's called Emma, but I want you to tell these guys why you changed it to Emma.

Speaker 1 And then I also want to know about your dog bakery thing that you worked at, because I have a friend who lives in Arizona who has a company. It's a dog poop company.
She picks up poop, dog poop.

Speaker 1 You just call her and she picks up dog. But it was in Scottsdale.
Oh, that's where I'm from. I know.
That's what I was talking about. That's amazing.
Well, my name was.

Speaker 1 Have you noticed that there's been less dog poop around when you go home?

Speaker 1 You know, now that you mention it.

Speaker 1 I mean, it used to be absolutely everywhere. Just behind them.
But her gig is just, she's just a freelance. She just goes around town.
She's just poop.

Speaker 1 And she's looking for just spare poop that's unclaimed and unpaid. That's what she says.
You call her up if you don't want to pick up your dog poop.

Speaker 1 It's called Poop Patrol. Sherry's Poop Patrol.
Who's compensating her? The city. Her clients.
People who don't want poop in their lawn, man. Yeah.
Wait, I'm confused. Wait.

Speaker 1 So you call her just to, so you just let your dogs kind of run free on your own lawn like all week, and then poop patrol comes.

Speaker 1 a gardener picks everything up that's right gardener comes over picks up the poop yeah like

Speaker 1 instead of blowing the the leaves and stuff there's

Speaker 1 poop

Speaker 1 wow i don't know 30 jokes in there

Speaker 1 i didn't know where to well that's kind of why i brought it up it's such a funny job you take a tight five and gather them and then come back to us but wait a dog bakery you worked at a dog bakery when you were a teenager yeah okay i worked at a dog bakery when i when i moved to l A when I was 15

Speaker 1 called Three Dog Bakery at the Farmer's Market. At the Grove? At the Grove.
I used to go there. You worked there? Yes.
For, I mean, not for long, for like maybe six months. Wow.

Speaker 1 So, Shawnee, this was pre-Ricky? Yeah, this was years ago, years and years ago. This was when I was 15.
It's 20 years ago. Yeah, that's when I had my two other dogs.

Speaker 1 I used to go there to shop with them. Do you think that we ever ran into each other then? Probably.
Maybe. Probably.
Huh.

Speaker 1 I think word would have gotten out that Will and Grace's Sean Hayes was there. I think you're right.
I think I would have told everybody. Guaranteed.
You probably have to. Just guaranteed.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I must not have been working those hours.

Speaker 1 We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 They made us really comfortable and they kind of made us look legit because otherwise it would have been, you know, milk crates and,

Speaker 1 you know, cardboard boxes. And Ashley made it look like a real, kind kind of looked like a living room, made it really comfortable, made our guest, John Mayer, really comfortable.

Speaker 1 And then he thought that maybe we're professional, we're not just a bunch of clowns. To be honest, there was a point where I got so comfortable, I forgot that I was in front of an audience.

Speaker 1 I was sitting back on that nice Ashley couch and I was just hanging out with my buds in my living room.

Speaker 1 All right, back to the show.

Speaker 1 Tell these guys why you changed your name from Emily to Emma. Well, it was originally my name was taken at Screen Actors Guild.
Right. Um, when I got my card when I was 16.
She was an Emily Stone.

Speaker 1 Wow. And so I originally changed it to Riley because when you tell a 16-year-old that they can just change their name,

Speaker 1 you pick a cool name. And so I was like, I'll be Riley.

Speaker 1 You could have changed it to Emma Middle Name Lee. Emma Lee Stone.
Right?

Speaker 1 I don't know if I could pull off being a three-namer.

Speaker 1 Fuck, is there any way you could call her 20 years ago? Can you call me 20 years ago really quick? Yeah, yeah, yeah, real quick. Hold on.
Just one second. We'll pause.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 And then we'll just.

Speaker 1 That is a real thing, though, right? That is a real thing, though. All people who change their names because of

Speaker 1 sex, because there's already somebody. Yeah.
Michael J. Fox, I think, was because there was already a Michael Fox, right? One of the great ones is, isn't,

Speaker 1 I feel like Michael Keaton is Michael Douglas. Oh, wow.
Oh, really? And he changed his last name to Keaton because Michael Douglas was Michael Douglas.

Speaker 1 I just learned Albert Brooks's real name is Albert Einstein. I did not know that.

Speaker 1 No. Swear to God.
Swear to God. That's unbelievable.
His brother was Bob Einstein, you know, Super Dave Osborne. That That was Bob Einstein, and that's Albert's brother.

Speaker 1 But anyway, Emily to Emma. Emily to Emma.

Speaker 1 Well, because you're trying to get to the Spice Girls round. Yes.
You should change the name to Albert Einstein because that was free. That's true.
That one's free now. Not being used anymore.

Speaker 1 Wait,

Speaker 1 so you went to Emma? I went to Emma because growing up, I was an enormous, I mean, still to this day, I am, but an enormous, an enormous, sorry, I'm

Speaker 1 slurring from all of the

Speaker 1 things. You need to take a nap.
Yeah, I got to take a nap.

Speaker 1 I was a huge Spice Girls fan, and there was Emma, who was baby spice. No way.
Crazy about her. Yeah, really.
I had the opportunity.

Speaker 1 When I was in, you know, like second or third grade, I asked the teacher to call me Emma, but it didn't ever stick. But then I had the chance to do it permanently.
And here I am. I love that.

Speaker 1 Have you met the Spice Girls since? I have. Does she know that? I've met the Spice Girls now.

Speaker 1 I think she does because she gave me a really special t-shirt that she had signed. It was like from one Emma to another kind of thing.
It was pretty cool. Did you keep it together?

Speaker 1 I did not keep it together at all, at all.

Speaker 1 But I will say, the night before I met them, we were going to their concert in England when they, you know, had done, they did like a reunion tour a couple of years ago in 2019.

Speaker 1 And the night before, I went to a

Speaker 1 party at somebody's house. And the magician David Blaine was there.

Speaker 1 And he did

Speaker 1 just just an astounding trick. You know, he did this card trick and then it was this whole thing.
And it was an illusion, an illusion, if you will.

Speaker 1 And he, and it was like, he, and he pulled up his phone and the card was reflected in a picture on someone's phone, you know, in the, in the glasses of someone on a boat. And it was this crazy thing.

Speaker 1 And I got so excited. Now, this is a tale as old as time because I'm about to tell you a story from yesterday as well.

Speaker 1 I got so excited that I ran. I was like, I can't stand it because I'm such a big fan of magic and I couldn't stand it.
And I ran and I was wearing these

Speaker 1 heeled boots and I slipped on the wood floor. This is the night before the Spice Girls concert.
Slipped, my arm went back out behind me and I broke my fing shoulder. When was Oblan received?

Speaker 1 2019, the summer of 2019. So the next day I'm supposed to go to the Spice Girls concert and I was like, there is no way on earth I'm missing this.

Speaker 1 So we got in England one of these, you know, things from Boots, the drugstore, this little sling, and I hadn't even gotten an x-ray yet.

Speaker 1 And I went and I was in so much pain that actually meeting the Spice Girls under those circumstances was probably better. So I couldn't do that

Speaker 1 in front of them instead. And your excitement was so tempered by the pain.
It was so tempered by the pain that I was like, it's amazing to meet you guys. Oh my God.
Like it was so brutal.

Speaker 1 It was broken in two places. And then yesterday, I

Speaker 1 have bone density issues. That's clear because I broke my toe yesterday.
No. Kicking something.
I did. Doing what? On what? Getting out of the shower.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why you shouldn't be lying down in the shower? What do you mean? Getting out of the shower. I know.

Speaker 1 You accidentally stubbed it.

Speaker 1 I slammed it into something, and now it's completely black and blue and like all messed up. And so I've been icing it all day.
And you're sick, and you showed up for us today. God bless you.

Speaker 1 How did you not cancel it? It's a dream. This is incredible.
Are you kidding me? I'm sitting on a computer

Speaker 1 with headphones. This is lovely.
Half of one of those excuses would have made me cancel this thing. God, you're thinking.

Speaker 1 I was so excited for this. I would give anything for improved bone density.
Yeah. Sorry, just sidebar.

Speaker 1 Sidebar.

Speaker 1 Wait,

Speaker 1 we need to take,

Speaker 1 what is it, boniva or something?

Speaker 1 Boniva. There's some pill to help our bone density.
But I've broken seven bones. Before I was 30, I broke seven bones.
Emma. Isn't that crazy? Well, so then you seriously looked into this.

Speaker 1 You seriously do have a lot of things. Yeah, I have an endocrinologist who was like, we got to talk about this.
Like, something's up with you. Right.
And did he come up with anything?

Speaker 1 Just that I need to take a lot of vitamin D and calcium and do apparently weight-bearing exercises. Like, heavy lifting is what creates more bone density.

Speaker 1 Well, you could just drink milk and eat like dumplings from chinchin, like Sean.

Speaker 1 He says. He has a glass of milk four times a day.

Speaker 1 No, I have a glass of milk with dinner every night. No, you don't.
I really do. You should.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 1 It's good for you. That's Chris.

Speaker 1 It's good for you. It's vitamin.
Will you sit at dinner drinking a glass of milk? Yeah,

Speaker 1 I saw it a week ago.

Speaker 1 I just, I just. Are you just doing it to be adorable or you really enjoy it? No,

Speaker 1 this is what he does. No, I

Speaker 1 milked it.

Speaker 1 You know why people?

Speaker 1 He lives like he's in the 50s. It's incredible.
12 years old. Because water is too boring and soda has too much sugar, so I just drink milk.
Well, you know, they have zero sugar soda now. Not into it.

Speaker 1 So, listen,

Speaker 1 I want to sip water since we're on medical school. I wish this was just a gallon of milk with ASCII.

Speaker 1 You're so fascinating.

Speaker 1 But is it true? Because you have one of those cool, like, million billion dollar voices, too.

Speaker 1 Is it true that you, first of all, didn't know you had asthma until you had an asthma attack while filming EZA, which I read?

Speaker 1 And the other thing is, did you really have a condition when you were a baby because you cried too much? Colicky.

Speaker 1 Is that true? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because you were colicky. That gave you a raspy voice.
Like extremely colicky for five months. What's colicky? Can you imagine now having a kid? I cannot imagine having a colicky baby to that extent.

Speaker 1 Five, five.

Speaker 1 What does that mean, colicky? Colick is apparently a condition where your stomach is killing you. Like there's you're in a lot of pain.

Speaker 1 I am like everything I can talk about is just my medical no, I know. It's fascinating.

Speaker 1 But here's what I think it is: it is, it is the, it is the uh intestines or part of part of the GI tract that is still developing and unkinking itself.

Speaker 1 And there is a kink in the hose that is not, it still needs to grow to release itself and it takes a couple of weeks and the babies are miserable. Miserable.

Speaker 1 So it was like if I was awake, I was screaming myself hoarse every day. And I think it was very, very traumatizing for my parents.
I see.

Speaker 1 You know what's good for bone density is those the astronauts who you know that thing, the power plate thing that vibrates, that's supposed to be good for bone density. Oh, thanks, Mario.

Speaker 1 Isn't that kind of a 50s thing, too? Yeah.

Speaker 1 A little belt around you that she's. We read it once over a glass of milk.

Speaker 1 I want to know, let's get to the career stuff because it's really interesting. Okay, great.

Speaker 1 No, hang on. How old's your baby? Let's just do a quick, how old's your baby? Two and a half.

Speaker 1 Aww, sweet. Boy, girl.
Girl. Girl.
Oh, sweet.

Speaker 1 I didn't know that. That's so fantastic.
Congratulations.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Yeah.

Speaker 1 With your husband, who you met at SNL? Did you meet him at SNL? Really? Dave McCarry? Yeah. And is he, what does he do with SNL?

Speaker 1 He was a writer-director there for about five years. Oh, nice.
Doing digital shorts. And you met him there?

Speaker 1 I met him there, yeah. But we had a bunch of mutual friends.
So, yeah. So great.
I love that. I feel like I was there that week, too.
Although you've probably hosted a few times.

Speaker 1 I remember being there once when you were hosting, and I was just like, oh, she's like, guys, wait, hold on. I'm going to host on December 2nd.
I get technical by Five Timers Jacket. No way.
No way.

Speaker 1 I'm so excited. I can't even stand it.
I'm like, I'm freaking out. You're so good at it.
That's really, really cool. Wait, so, Emma, you and Dave married in the pandemic.

Speaker 1 And was that just because it was planned that way and you just kept it? Or were you like, you know what, let's just do this now? You were waiting for a pandemic, weren't you?

Speaker 1 Didn't you guys say you wanted to get married, but let's wait for a pandemic to hit? I read that. You trim the fat a little bit on the invite list.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, smart. The week that I got married, I did open a refrigerator and the handle broke off and I got a fly guy.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 And that's where it stops. You know, I do need a helmet.
Oh, my God. I need a helmet and extensive hair.

Speaker 1 You got this new show with Nathan Fielder. I want to skip ahead.
I know she's your guest. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 That looks really,

Speaker 1 but I'll take this one.

Speaker 1 It looks really fun. First of all, he's great.
And not just because he's Canadian. He's super funny.

Speaker 1 You're super funny. And when I first saw the ad for it, I was like, these motherfuckers.
And then they got one of those safties in there. Yeah, they sure did.

Speaker 1 Put a wig on on him, and the three took a boom out of his hand and said, Go. This is like a fucking, this is like a fucking talent explosion happening in one thing.

Speaker 1 I'm so goddamn excited for this thing. I haven't seen, yeah, I'm so excited for this.
It's a wild ride that one. Tell us about how did that come to you, to your orbit?

Speaker 1 So, Nathan and I have known each other through Dave and

Speaker 1 Dave's best friend, Kyle Mooney, have been

Speaker 1 huge. And they've been best friends since they were nine years old.
So,

Speaker 1 yeah. And so Nathan

Speaker 1 knew Dave and Kyle well, and I got to know Nathan for a couple of years.

Speaker 1 And then I think in 2020, 2019, maybe, Nathan called me and said that he and Benny Safdie had come up with this kind of loose idea for a show based on something that Nathan had really experienced where

Speaker 1 someone had said that they curse him

Speaker 1 in a moment. And he was like this probably isn't true but he found that it haunted him sure and

Speaker 1 they started coming up with this sort of premise of what would happen if you're kind of going about your life and they had this idea for this couple who is trying to create their own hgtv show but early on right the husband a little girl says i i curse you

Speaker 1 and if that hangs over the the premise of this whole show and how that evolves and kind of makes them go crazy,

Speaker 1 whether it's

Speaker 1 real or not. And it just sort of spiraled out from there and became this

Speaker 1 very

Speaker 1 intense

Speaker 1 show. It's really, it is a comedy, but it's kind of not a comedy.
It's kind of dark.

Speaker 1 It's very, yeah,

Speaker 1 there's a lot going on there. So it was, no, it was a blast.
And we were in.

Speaker 1 in New Mexico for like half of last year

Speaker 1 shooting that.

Speaker 1 And say the title again? The The curse. Yeah, the curse.
I see posters for it everywhere. And say the title one more time.
And what just for the third time just we have?

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 The Curse.

Speaker 1 I want to talk about poor things too, which is a movie that you have coming up. The brilliant Yorgos Lanthamos.
I'm going to go see it this week.

Speaker 1 You are? Yeah. I can't.
Where are you going to see it? I'm seeing it

Speaker 1 at one of the screen. Because I'm going to be at those.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll see you there. I just got a text for it.
Yeah. Oh, great.
Was it me texting you to come to the team? Oh, it was you.

Speaker 1 Do you go by Emma Stone?

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. It is.
Yeah, interesting. Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is the second project with Yorgos. Yes.
It was technically the third because we made a short film at the beginning of 2020. And then, so, but it was, it was, yes, it was the second bonus one.

Speaker 1 So brilliant. Amazing.
We made another one in the meantime. We made another one in New Orleans last year.
No, really? Yeah, with with Willem. With Willem.
Yeah, Willem's in Poor Things.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 so for my sister, Tracy,

Speaker 1 Yargos did The Favorite, The Lobster, just a bunch of great

Speaker 1 dog too, which is so poor things. So did you develop it? Did you find it? Like, did you just get an offer? Like, how did that go?

Speaker 1 So Yorgos and I did The Favorite in 2017. And right as we were wrapping up The Favorite, he told me about this book that he and Tony McNamara, who was the writer of The Favorite,

Speaker 1 had

Speaker 1 optioned and they were working on adapting. And he just told me the premise of it.
And I was like,

Speaker 1 I beg of you. I have to do this with you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so for the next few years, we

Speaker 1 worked on things and started kind of putting it all together. And

Speaker 1 he asked me to be a producer on it, which was amazing. And so we kind of like assembled this team.
And then

Speaker 1 at the end of 2021, why do I keep saying all the dates? Yeah, I I don't know. Because you're like, Will, you have incredible recall on dates.

Speaker 1 I do everything by date. So, really? Month and year, yeah, yeah.
Me too. Everybody's birthdays.
Do you forget a birthday?

Speaker 1 Can you forget a birthday once a month?

Speaker 1 I can forget a birthday, but if you say, like, hey, like, I can say, like, oh, yeah, like, it was that time of year, that time of year, it was this month and March of 2023.

Speaker 1 He knows a difference between April of 21 and March of 24.

Speaker 1 Maybe I function similarly. Yeah, but

Speaker 1 anyway, so anyway, so we made it, we made it two years ago and

Speaker 1 yeah, it's just, it's, it's, uh, it's probably my favorite, my favorite thing I've ever gotten to do. Really? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wait, so with, you, you, you work all the time, constantly, it seems like, which is great, and everybody can't get enough of you. And so when you go from, when you go from set to set,

Speaker 1 other than your child, do you have like something, how do you set it up so it's home?

Speaker 1 Or how do you set it up so it feels like, all right, I need to have at least this, this, and this in my trailer, or this, this, and this with me. What a fun question.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you, I'll tell you three things that always keep me company, no matter where I am. Coke.
App.

Speaker 1 Sorry.

Speaker 1 Big plate of Coke.

Speaker 1 She's got to get through it. She's like obsessed with the idea that I'm on Coke just because I'm on cold medicine.

Speaker 1 Jason. Go with it.
You know, just suffering through this on cold medicine. She's here on her armies.
She's in a sick day.

Speaker 1 I have a broken

Speaker 1 broken foot.

Speaker 1 I'm near dead. I know, I can't believe it.

Speaker 1 No, I, uh, apples and peanut butter. Really?

Speaker 1 Really? Every day for a snack, I have apples and peanut butter. Every day I have a Starbucks coffee.
Doesn't matter where I am. Could be in the greatest coffee places in the world, Europe, wherever.

Speaker 1 Doesn't matter. Find a Starbucks.
And what's your choice? A coconut misto.

Speaker 1 Coconut.

Speaker 1 No embarrassing stuff. What is it? A coconut what?

Speaker 1 Listen, they make you say misto, which you know the Starbucks lingo where they they make you say these things. It's a venti

Speaker 1 coffee, just a regular

Speaker 1 filter coffee. A large drip coffee,

Speaker 1 a large with steamed coconut milk. Okay.
And that's the misto part? That's the misto. That's what makes it a misto.
So that's not a latte? It's not a latte. No, because it's not espresso.

Speaker 1 So you have apple, by the way, I have peanut butter and rice cakes always. Every day? Well, that's my treat.
That's my snack. That's your treat? Yeah, that's my snack.
It feels an amen after.

Speaker 1 Peanut butter and rice cake? Oh, I love that. That's a healthy treat.
It's not like you go and get all the Twizzlers from the.

Speaker 1 Why do you guys go with just the apple or just the rice cake? Why do you need to spread all the fatty meat? Peanut butter gives you a little hit of protein and a big hit of joy. A lot of sugar.

Speaker 1 I like the peanut butter with joy. It's delicious.
Sean, explain for not for Tracy, but for Jason what joy is.

Speaker 1 It's another kind of peanut butter. Not for Tracy.
Or no, that's Jiffy.

Speaker 1 Emma, like when I,

Speaker 1 you were so fucking phenomenal in the favorite, and you won for the favorite, right? No. Yes, she did.
No.

Speaker 1 Nominated.

Speaker 1 Yes, she did.

Speaker 1 She was fantastic, though. Thank you so much.
Nominated. Wait, but what was that? You won a nomination is what I meant.
Did you really not win? I can't remember. You did win.

Speaker 1 Not for the favorite, no. Which one did you win for? Lala.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's right. La La.

Speaker 1 So I'm thinking about that movie, too.

Speaker 1 God, you're so. That's a truly embarrassing thing to have to sit here and say.
No.

Speaker 1 Not for that one. No, I want to know.
I asked. I want to know.
I'm not sure everything.

Speaker 1 But wait, the favorite was you were still. My mom says I'm always a winner.
Yeah. And always her favorite, huh? Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. But was that, because

Speaker 1 when I've seen that movie, when I watched that movie, I was like, oh my God, this just looks like a colossal amount of work, that movie, the favorite.

Speaker 1 It just looks so grand and so massive. That's just because a lot of it was in that fisheye lens.
That's what makes it look so grand. All right.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 That's a little trick of the trait. That was in England, yes.
That was in England. And La La Land was here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 1 Yes. Favorite, favorite movie.
This is such a good movie. I just wanted to go.
Apart from the work that, you know, these guys are so tired. But

Speaker 1 that movie was so good, Emma Stone.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Hilton. I see your connecting rooms are already confirmed.
Hilton, for this day.

Speaker 1 And now, back to the show.

Speaker 1 Was that one of the hardest things you've ever done?

Speaker 1 What's the hardest one you've ever done? Oh, God. Physically, emotionally, both, whatever.
Law La Land had a bunch of stuff in it. Oh, yeah.
You got to learn a lot.

Speaker 1 The hardest thing I've ever done was on stage. Yeah?

Speaker 1 By far. Sean loves stage stories.
I do. You know, I do.
Well, I've only done one professional stage show. What went wrong? Like 10 years ago.
Oh, you want a what went wrong?

Speaker 1 I want to like a bad theater story. But here's, I did cabaret, and I only did it for three and a half months, which is so short by

Speaker 1 stage terms. But enough.
I thought

Speaker 1 I truly going into it, I was so beyond excited. It was, it was probably the greatest experience of my life for the same reason.
And I was like, oh, you just do it at night.

Speaker 1 And then you do two shows a day on Wednesday and you do two on Saturday. And it's just, and then you're at home and you're just.

Speaker 1 Your entire life is eaten.

Speaker 1 And it is so hard. You have to live like a monk.
Like, there's nothing, or at least I did, because I lose my voice and I had to sing.

Speaker 1 And it was like, I've, I've never experienced something that, that physically taxing as an actor. Yeah.
It was, it was

Speaker 1 unreal. I'm sure.
So that was the hardest. And when you, when you, but did you, did anything go massively wrong?

Speaker 1 Do you have like any kind of night where you're just like, oh shit, my voice, nothing came out when I sounded like that? Oh, yeah. I mean, I had to take steroids multiple times.

Speaker 1 Like, no, yeah, no heart attacks in the house. Thank God.
But that's, there are a lot of those stories. But no, I

Speaker 1 just to add to my, you know, things that are wrong with me,

Speaker 1 I'm extremely blind, blind, blind as a bat. Okay.

Speaker 1 And I wear

Speaker 1 contacts for that.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they both popped out of my eyes while I was singing maybe this time.

Speaker 1 And there's, and it cuts. I've really been reaching for a note.

Speaker 1 I was really, yeah, I'm always reaching for those notes. I'm not a singer per se.

Speaker 1 And the, And the lights went dark and you have to go off in

Speaker 1 the blackout.

Speaker 1 And I couldn't see a

Speaker 1 thing in the world. And I just went and like slammed it.
It was terrible. Getting off stage, not being able to see it all was.

Speaker 1 And then couldn't find the contacts, right? They were on the floor.

Speaker 1 Couldn't find it. But no, I always bring spares.
I have to travel with spares. Yeah.
It's very. It's great if you did the rest of the play with glasses on, would have been great.

Speaker 1 If you came back out with glasses on.

Speaker 1 Yeah, all of it gives me so much anxiety. But when you I always had a fear, Sean, of getting hiccups on stage.
Yeah, I had that. Oh my god, that's a great fear.
Have you had hiccups on stage?

Speaker 1 No, but I had one thing where I had like allergies and I could feel the post-nasal drip in the back. And it was right before I had to sing, what do you get when you fall in love? You know, with Chris.

Speaker 1 Sure. And I was literally like, what?

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Like forever. Oh, God.
It was the worst. Panic, tears, because I couldn't cough, but I had to act like I was everything else.
It's the way I have a million.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 I'm about to tell you guys something that I think that you're not gonna enjoy I know Jason's not gonna enjoy this oh no what do you do when you get I'm gonna ask you guys I'm gonna go around to the panel here what do you guys do when you get the hiccups do you have like a surefire I do have one I have a cure

Speaker 1 Emma go first I have a cure but people tell me that I'm wrong but if not if you do it right okay

Speaker 1 here's the thing yeah you don't scream at people this is the solve put your arm up above your head just take one arm put it up above your head well just because I'm right-handed, so if you're left-handed, you could do it.

Speaker 1 Drivers don't do this. You take your don't do it if you're driving.
Now, take water, and you're gonna, and I'm talking like tiny sips. You go, swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow.

Speaker 1 As you lower your arm slowly.

Speaker 1 Well, nothing's gonna happen because none of it. Look at all of this.
None of us have hit this, but we're all doing it. Well, we're just practicing.
Listeners, we're all doing it. We're practicing it.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, it is

Speaker 1 a hundred percent. I feel incredible.

Speaker 1 Correctly. Really? I feel amazing.
What do you guys do, Sean?

Speaker 1 Nothing.

Speaker 1 I wish I had something. I take a deep breath.
Try this. And I kind of let it feel it kind of go away.
And then I take water while I'm holding my breath. It seems to work.

Speaker 1 I've never told anybody this.

Speaker 1 This is absolutely true. And I can't believe I'm telling it.

Speaker 1 Already.

Speaker 1 Anytime I get the hiccups.

Speaker 1 And I remember one time vividly, years ago, our buddy Edgar Wrightwood did this thing

Speaker 1 called Don't, which

Speaker 1 was like a fake movie trailer between,

Speaker 1 there was a double bill, like a Robert Rodriguez film or whatever, and he made this fake trailer, and I did the voice.

Speaker 1 Anyway, I remember going to record the trailer voice because I'd do don't even breathe, don't even, blah, blah, blah. And I did this whole thing, right?

Speaker 1 It was in the West Village at this recording place. And doing the thing, and I'd had a soda, I think, and I got the hiccups because I was taking in so much air.
And I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 This is where I learned it. And I was like, just give me a second.
I just got to, because I'm like hiccuping on, you know, trying to record. And I go into the bathroom

Speaker 1 and I stick my finger down my throat and I make myself gag and throw up a little bit. Yeah.
Gone. Yeah.
Gone. I get it.
And I came back out and I finished.

Speaker 1 And that's what I do every time when I get the hiccups. Now I go, excuse me.
I get it. That is disgusting.
Were you just cutting it there? There's a better way, Will.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It works.

Speaker 1 Do you fully throw up or do you gag? Ew!

Speaker 1 Well, it depends on where I'm at. You know what I mean? Depends on what's going on.
You're gracing up that much that you'll just make yourself puke. I hate hiccups.
I will say that.

Speaker 1 But this was, were you just gambling that this would work, or was this something you kind of read about? I was just gambling. I had no idea.
And I just did it. Wow, that is.

Speaker 1 I did not know this. You have a tattoo on your arm or your wrist or somewhere? My wrist.
I want to see.

Speaker 1 A very, very, very poorly done tattoo. Look at this.
Now, this was supposed to be, I just want you to understand, this was based off of a drawing that was drawn with a pencil. Okay.

Speaker 1 It looks like bird feet. Does that look like a pencil? Is it a cactus?

Speaker 1 It's bird feet, and it bleeds out more and more every single year. I got it 13 years ago, and it just keeps spreading.

Speaker 1 In 20 years, this is just going to be.

Speaker 1 What kind of half-assed tattoo artist? Were you in a French prison or something? I went into just kind of a random tattoo place on 14th Street, and I was just, yes.

Speaker 1 Why didn't you consult with 21? Why didn't you consult with the sleeveless one? He could have hooked you up with it with a great tattoo artist. And now I've gone to

Speaker 1 good tattoo artists and said, can I get this lasered off and redone? And they were like, your skin is so thin there that it's probably just going to look like you're burnt. Like it might be worse.

Speaker 1 Oh, really? So wait, I don't know what to do. And your mom got the same one? My mom, my dad, my brother.
I mean, the story behind it is so special, but it was like, and theirs all look

Speaker 1 great, by the way. Because they all went to better tattoo people.
And I was like, I'm the one who has to cover up for work every day. And it's like raised up.
It's really.

Speaker 1 Don't you hang out with Thoreau just a little bit? Oh, I know Thoreau. Yeah.
Okay. So he could have hooked you up with somebody with maybe a better.

Speaker 1 I didn't know him then.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. This was 2010.
I love that your whole family has it. Any thoughts on Justin? This was October of 2010, Will.
You remember.

Speaker 1 I love that. I love that.
By the way, I wasn't going to say it before, but you know, when we shot the rocker, it was June of 2007. Okay.
I know.

Speaker 1 I know you. I know you you know.
That's so crazy. I know you know.
I know you know.

Speaker 1 That is. Yeah, Jason brought up a good point.
Any thoughts on Thoreau? And by the way, this is a safe sleep. Anything hurtful that you can think of? Another segment we're introducing.

Speaker 1 Well, you know, he suffers from eczema. Here we go.
Does he really? That's why he doesn't wear sleeves because he's proud. He wants to show up.
That's right. No, that's not.

Speaker 1 Is he a Sky Rizzy guy? I don't know if he really does suffer from eczema. It's just we, you know, we've had a lot, we've had skincare conversations, as I'm sure you guys have.
You know,

Speaker 1 we once put on his Wikipedia page that he cries when he orgasms.

Speaker 1 It's true.

Speaker 1 Did someone take it off?

Speaker 1 He did.

Speaker 1 Like an hour later.

Speaker 1 I guess he got an alert or something. Yeah, Kimmel knows how to break into someone's Wikipedia page.
He puts it in. The wrong person doesn't know how to do it, too.

Speaker 1 I love that. Will you guys put something on my Wikipedia page? Don't put that one.
Put something different. No, yeah, we'll put Jimmy's brain.
We're going to put cries when Justin threw out orgasms.

Speaker 1 Please, please don't put that.

Speaker 1 Oh, it would be funny.

Speaker 1 It would be funny, though. Can I ask about like early, early, because you have a brother, right?

Speaker 1 I have a younger brother. Close with your brother? Very.
Yeah. Oh, that is he in the business? He's the two of us.
No. No, he works at like a tech company.
And growing up, was he interested or no?

Speaker 1 He was just like, you do that. I'm going to go over here.
Not at all. He played football.
Yeah, where was home? Where did you grow up? Scottsville, Arizona. With the poop, with the poop.
Remember?

Speaker 1 Remember earlier? That was the same conversation.

Speaker 1 How long have you been talking? Remember from before? It was like 20.

Speaker 1 What did you say? What did you say?

Speaker 1 And good thoughts, good feelings about Arizona? Do you miss it out there? You still have family out there? I do. Yeah, I still have family out there.

Speaker 1 The thing about

Speaker 1 Arizona is it's so hot. It's so oppressively hot.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's difficult to, you need to be built for that kind of heat. And I'm not.
It's not a fun heat. It's not a fun heat at all.
It's like 120 degrees daily.

Speaker 1 And we're going to end on, I wanted to ask you this because we're going to end on an industry business question. I love

Speaker 1 a biz key. I love the biz distributor.
I love the biz distribution. I love the heat.
I love the buzz.

Speaker 1 When you, you know, a lot of people who win an Oscar like you did for La La Land, they, you were amazing, so deserved. I love that movie.
I loved you in it. Did you,

Speaker 1 a lot of people who win, sometimes it's known as the curse of death with some actors. But

Speaker 1 first of all, I should ask, are you guys locked? Before I give you these? Are you picture locked on La La Land? Because you got the Oscar. Great.

Speaker 1 But a couple of things. Were it me?

Speaker 1 Just try it a little harder.

Speaker 1 I got some notes. Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 1 I was going to say, how did you, were you nervous? Did you have anxiety? You're like, oh my God, this is so great. I won the Oscar.

Speaker 1 But did you feel like, I don't know, a lot of times some actors who win Oscars, you kind of don't see them for a long, like years and years and years.

Speaker 1 Were you, did you have anxiety about like, crap, I won. Now people are sick of me?

Speaker 1 Nope. Sean, nobody felt that way.

Speaker 1 No, not that I was. No, but just

Speaker 1 the first thought in that. Sean put that out there.
Why do you know? Okay, so

Speaker 1 okay, Sean, what did you tell us? Now I know how Sean feels. No, now I want the Tony.
Is that what you were saying? When you're walking up the street to get the Tony, check Sean off my list.

Speaker 1 I know how Sean. Sean, thanks for having me today.

Speaker 1 That came out wrong.

Speaker 1 What I meant was, like, did you have anxiety about, like, I'm not going to work? People are like, people must think, like, oh, we, you made it.

Speaker 1 I left that, this was a very lucky situation because I had, I met Yorgos while we were filming La La Land and I left the day after the Oscars to go shoot the favorite. Oh, that's great.

Speaker 1 So it was kind of amazing because the next day I went right back to work and was back in.

Speaker 1 Did you have time to renegotiate your deal on your way to location?

Speaker 1 Yes. So that was, I did delay my flight for a couple hours just to call, just to call my lawyer.

Speaker 1 By the way, that was reopened just a salary for new deal points that I'd love to.

Speaker 1 But by the way, that was a big compliment.

Speaker 1 I know can come out that way.

Speaker 1 Okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 How many great, because you've been nominated, I'm sure, a million times for

Speaker 1 I think it's

Speaker 1 a million. Lots of great awards should be.

Speaker 1 Do you have a bunch of great unused acceptance speeches? No, what? No. I bet you do.
No.

Speaker 1 No, but I bet you give some thought, some respectful time and some thought to what you would say up there.

Speaker 1 You're not one of these ingrates that would just, ah, if I win, I win, I'll just go up there and wing it. I bet you've got some fun stuff that you said i just my dream is to have like a book a

Speaker 1 coffee table book of people's unused acceptance speeches that's a great idea

Speaker 1 that's a really good idea right huh that maybe you should maybe you should start compiling have to be anonymous though wouldn't it well right the people with the speech yeah because i guess it would be but then how do you do an anonymous acceptance speech everyone would know who it was like the people they're thanking what were you gonna say for the rocker yeah

Speaker 1 if you had gotten up there for the rocker, well, who would you thank first?

Speaker 1 Probably just Will. Yeah,

Speaker 1 thanks for being our guest today. Don't even know.

You're welcome. You not knowing that that was a Spice Girls lyric

Speaker 1 one of the more painful things. Well, imagine what I thought, because I didn't know it was a lyric.
I just thought he was just saying that stupid, crazy sentence. No.
Like, what?

Speaker 1 I was trying to connect them. Did you just call the Spice Girls stupid and crazy?

Speaker 1 Were it not a lyric? If it was just a goodbye sentence for a podcast interview, like, man, this is where I log off.

Speaker 1 What about when James Cameron, when James Cameron won the Academy Award for Best Director of Titanic, I had not seen the movie, but when he walks up on stage, he says, I'm king of the world.

Speaker 1 Did you say you've never seen Titanic? At the time, I had not seen it. When I saw him go up on stage and say, I'm king of the world, I thought, oh, no, what did he just say? I've never seen it at all.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, my God.
Because you got a lot of homework to do. Jason's listening to Wanna Be by the Spy Eyes Girls.
Will, you're watching Titanic. And Sean, just get, get Ricky.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Bye, Ani.
Feel better. Thank you.
Bye. Bye.
Bye-bye. Good night.

Speaker 1 Sean, you you were right. Great job.
She did it while she was sick. So nice for her to show

Speaker 1 sick as a dog. This is worth, you know, when we do these late night records, it's, it's, you know, the, the, the stakes are high that it, that it, that it be a good guest.
And you know, well,

Speaker 1 by the way, for the record, it was a 4 p.m. record.
So when you say late night, for most people,

Speaker 1 they have a different.

Speaker 1 Okay. But the other thing is, I will say this, and this is a compliment to you, JB.
Not even a fucking, I'm not, there's no punchline.

Speaker 1 She has a great work ethic, like a lot of people I know who started young in, who are young in as actors, director, whatever, she has that same thing and you have that same thing,

Speaker 1 which is she's sick, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 In all the years I've done stuff with you, I've never known you to call in sick, not fucking once. Yeah.
Oh, there was plenty of times when I'd clear my day when it was 3 a.m.

Speaker 1 and I was still having fun. Oh, yeah, back.
Sorry,

Speaker 1 except for when you blew your colour out. Back in the day.
Except for when you blew your colon out when we were doing that fight scene on Russia Development.

Speaker 1 But you fought too hard. You broke my colon.
I know, that's true.

Speaker 1 But anyway, she does have that great thing. She's always just, God, she's so good.

Speaker 1 When you start listening off the stuff that she does and they're all so different, you're like, yeah, yeah, I missed on this. When an actor has never sucked,

Speaker 1 that's something. She's in that category.
She's in that never sucked.

Speaker 1 I always say John Goodman, number one. He's the first guy I always think of when I think has never sucked.
And she's in that category.

Speaker 1 There are a few people who fall into that category, and she's one of them. Yeah, she's incredible.
Um, I didn't get to ask her about, I want to talk more about Lala Land about how it shots. Get ready.

Speaker 1 Well, there you go. Next time, next time, next time, honestly, nobody better.

Speaker 1 Here it comes. Who's got it? Yeah, well, I love Birdman, too.
You know, here it comes. Oh, you know what? I also like do you ever see bye, bye, birdie? I couldn't do it.

Speaker 1 I couldn't even, of course, you were going to do that. You're fired.

Speaker 1 Bye, bye, birdie. Wait, what? No, wait a minute.
Wait a second. It just starts saying

Speaker 1 it's just

Speaker 1 too you're too tired. See, that's too late.
It's too late to even come up with a bye.

Speaker 1 Well, I was going to say this: I love that she got her name from the baby Spice because she's such a fan of the Spice
