Obvi. Bienvenue, c'est smartless smart less smart less smart less Sean did you make did you end up making a spare on that last frame? Because I've also noticed.
Listener, Sean's got a pinky splint on, and it looks like half a bowling cart. Are you still wearing the boot on your foot too? No, no, the boot on my foot.
And he's also texting while we're asking him these questions. Do you want us to hold the records before you're done with your social media? No, I'm looking for a video of me golfing.
I want to show you guys my golf swing. What is the pinky hammock for? What's going on? Okay, so I just have a little tendonitis in my right pinky.
No, you don't. How does one even identify tendonitis in a pinky? You don't have anything.
You didn't have a foot thing. You don't have a fucking tendinitis in your thing.
Take it off, shut up, and keep going. What are you talking about? No, just from playing.
I'm trying to play. Did you get that? How do you injure your pinky? Is that from like a remote control that was unwieldy? No.
No, it's playing piano. Just like the same piece over and over and over.
And what's happening is I'm reaching too far with my pinky. So it's totally fine now.
I'm just kind of... It's a piano injury.
Is that right? I kept playing with the same piece, and then I replaced my piece. And now I have a more, like a permanent...
And you just zip that one on, right? Oh, it snaps. And I zip in the back.
No, snap in the front, zip in the back. Zip.
It's pretty great. So, Sean, this is playing piano, rehearsing for your upcoming Broadway show.

Call.

Starting.

Let's get the dates out in the theater and all that stuff.

It was a website or something like that.

It's called Goodnight Oscar.

Performances start April 7th in New York at the Belasco Theater.

You can buy tickets at something.com.

Can I say?

At goodnightoscar.com.

You know what?

After I talked to a friend, that was Oscar LeVette, just as I remembered him. Oh.
What a great compliment. We can say that.
We can talk about that if you want. Let's do it.
Let's open it up. We're not going to open it up.
We're not going to open it up. Okay.
It's up to you guys. I don't care.
No, it's up to you. We, first of all, we love you, and I will say, we did try to come in the, I know we're talking about Goodnight Oscar again, but we did try to come in the spring and then we couldn't.
No, you tried real hard. Yeah, why didn't we go? I was working on the weekends.
And then during the week, you didn't want to. No, I was working during the week, but I was also working Saturdays.
And you were back. What was I doing? Everybody was working.
Why didn't I go? Or maybe you were just feeling so bullish about it going to Broadway eventually that we were just like, well, let's just keep our powder dry for New York. But also, like, I'm not one of those people.
I don't think you guys are too. It's like, you got to come see my show.
No, no. Or you got to go see my movie.
Yeah. You know, I'm just like, come or don't come.
I don't expect anyone to... Yeah, never.

Even if it's in the convenience of your own home on television,

I don't expect you to watch. No, I've had the thing

before, actually, where I've said, like, to, like,

you know, my mom has said, like,

why didn't you tell us that you're on Kimmel? I'm like, what am I

gonna do? I don't want to... Yeah, send out a

newsletter. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
No.

Yeah. You know? No.
You'll see about it.

You'll see about it on social

media when people are, you know... You got white pants on today, Will? Okay.
Oh, Jesus Christ. White shorts.
I'm wearing white shorts. No, no, no.
Don't spread them. Ew, and white slides? What's going on? Do you have a yacht party? I've got these filthy.
I see them. Wait, those are Air Jordan slippers? Slides, yeah.
Oh, slides. What's the difference between a slide and a slipper? I'm wearing these shorts are so comfy, and they're like a Terry short, you know? Oh, my God.
Stop with that. Don't ever say that again.
You know what I would love? I'd love for you to just put that dumb outfit on thinking... Oh, ew! I just saw top pubes.
He just showed us the waistband listener, and the shorts were down a little bit lower than his ideal. So they...
I'd love for you to just get in the car, oh, I got to go get some milk down at the liquor store or something, not expecting to be out, really out of, and then get a flat tire and be stuck on the side of the road with traffic going by in that outfit but wait a minute wait a minute that's what scotty always says to me he's like i go i'm just going to the 7-eleven to get some ice cream he's like like that just like you're getting a flat yeah and but but look at you jay you're i get that from you you're like you don't give a shit i don't give a shit but it doesn't have the ice cream i like but i i will not leave the house with my uh with my birkenstocks on that have the uh the fuzz on the inside the furry i would totally yeah those are slippers i would totally do that i'd never be seen in public the first you know what you know what actually it's funny that you say that because i have i wear my slippers often to drive the kids to school and whatever and they have a tread on the bottom and the reason i felt okay doing that was because about 15 years ago i went to jar with scotty and sean and sean showed up at dinner wearing slippers for dinner oh that's for a dinner date you remember that we were you were you pulling the the little uh uh stand with your uh with your with my ivy yeah that's it he um he had claimed at that time though he kept saying i hope i die soon i hope so i guess he had given up in that moment. No, I had Ugg slippers, which could, you know.
He did have Ugg slippers. Oh, so they're dress up.
Remember Richard Ehrlich? Remember that time when I first met him and he was at your old house? And he came in and he was wearing Uggs. And I go, hey, man.
And I never met him before. I go, hey, Kate Hudson called.
She really wants her boots back. Now, Kate makes anything look good.
Let's hold on a second now. Kate makes everything look good.
Oh, I agree. She can start any trend.
And by the way, Ehrlich can make anything look good. I agree.
Ehrlich, let me tell you something. Talk about the silver fox.
A guy is good looking when you can pull off a turtleneck. His hair is phenomenal.
That's one of the best dudes. You know who else can pull off a turtleneck? Sean Levy.
Sean Levy can also pull up? Sean Levy. Yeah, that's a great point.
Yeah, he's a Canadian countryman of yours. Not a lot of guys can wear the white Terry shorts, though.
No, for good reason. Todd Snyder for champion.
I told you never to say that again. It's Todd Snyder for champion.
I know you like that. Oh, here come the boxes.
Can we get to the guest, please? Sure. The fourth thing.
Well, our guest, by the way. It's not your guest.
It's Sean's, isn't it? It's my guest. No, it's Will's.
Hey, first of all, fucking dial it back. Well, hang on a second.
Let me sit up a little bit taller then. I thought it was Sean's guest.
Oh, because my guests aren't, for my guests, you don't sit tall. My guests, I think my guest is going to have an opinion on all of this, especially when it comes to fashion and our fashion.
And you know what? My guest has complimented me before, and I don't know if they remember.

I'll give it to you.

She remembers.

But she has.

But I will say this.

She doesn't need to because she's got a lot going on for her.

She's a recipient of many awards.

Well, she has shitty taste in men's clothing, I can tell you that.

Okay, I'll wait.

I can't wait for you to, you know, chase that think bar with your own fucking words, dude. Because guess what? This is Stella McCartney.
This is a real class act. This is a top of the line actor.
This is somebody who has done it all, who's won the awards, who's done the action films, who's done the horror, scary films, who's done the big drama films that get all the fancy awards. This is the red carpet stalwart.
This is somebody who is not only incredibly brilliant and smart and funny and engaging and beautiful and cool and also happens to be married to a very good friend of ours. It's the one and only Miss Emily Blunt.
Emily! Oh, this is perfect. It's a nice Saturday morning.
Let's just smooth it in there. I love your shorts.
Thank you. Don't say Terry again.
Thank you. They're Terry.
No, you got me with Terry. I was all in with Terry.
You see. So does that mean that they're absorbent? Don't interrupt her.
She's talking. Go ahead.
You have a great suntan, and that helps. Thank you very much.
Thank you, I do. Thank you.
You get a tube of what he's got, you can rub one on yourself. It's all bronzer.
Excuse me? Body bronzer. First of all, excuse me? Emily, I love that you called it suntan as opposed to a bed tan, because I think his tan is from a bed.
It's a tube tan. First of all, I'm sorry.
Is it a tube tan? What is the brand of the bronzer that you use? No, of course not. It's not a, you think that I go to a goddamn suntan salon? No, you wouldn't waste that time.
You just take out the tube of the bronzer and just squirt on a... No, no, no, no, no.
What am I, Trump? No, no, no. Emily, Emily, good morning.
Hi, Emily. Hi, guys.
How are you? This is so long overdue. You know what's even longer overdue?

What?

John.

Now, we've got to talk about why hasn't John been on the show yet?

Well, one of us is going to get in a lot of trouble the day he does show up.

That's true.

He's going to be hot.

Hal Tracy.

He's going to come in swinging.

He is going to come in very hot.

He should have been on before, Emily.

He's going to come in with a ton of emotion.

He's going to come in with a lot of emotion. You might not even say yes now that Emily's been on first.
And we're 150 episodes into this thing. Hey, Tracy, just so you know, we're talking about John Krasinski.
I'm sure you know that they're married. The John Krasinski.
That's right. The John Krasinski.
Emily Blunt. Yeah.
Hi. Period.
Hi. You know, it's like, you know what's funny? I just, I think about how great you are at everything you do.
And then when I, you know, get sent from our producer all this stuff and I go like, my God, Emily's done so much cool shit and so much good stuff. And you kind of forget because you're so, you do it all so kind of effortlessly and elegantly.
And you wear it all so well, and you're not into self-promotion.

You're not a braggart.

You're not kind of like looking for action.

You just kind of do it, and you just kind of... Yeah, you're an actor.

It just sort of falls off you.

You wear it real loosely.

Wait, are you saying you're not on Snap?

Are you not on Snap?

Is it a verb now?

It's just...

Yeah, I'm snapping.

I'm snapping, and I'm gramming.

Guys, I don't snap.

I don't gram. I don't gram either.
I do lurk. I mean, I do lurk on the gram.
Okay, you do. I do have a bit of a lurk, yeah.
Emily Blunt, I've been such a fan for such a long time, and I've always wanted to meet you, and so this is really cool for me. Wait, you guys don't know each other? No, we've never met.
I'm so excited to meet you, too. Will, let's take a quick five and let them get acquainted.
Yeah, so I have. I've been like, you've been on my list as well to be a guest on this show.
Yes, I remember we were going to do the live one. Oh, is that what happened? Yeah.
You had asked me to do, you had asked me before these jackasses, and I didn't even know you. Right, right, right.
I didn't even know you. I'm such a fan.
Oh, wait till John, his brother's four. Let me tell you something about Kraz.
But Kraz is... He's tough to book.
You know, the guy's busy. He's tough to book.
He's tough to nail down. So, like, you text him, and then he's like, and then he takes two weeks, and then he texts you, and then he's like, what? Question mark.
You're like, hey, man, I don't get 30 seconds, and you got two weeks? Yeah. Yeah, you guys are going to have to really duke this one out, I think.
I know. Yeah.
God bless him. Anyway, did you guys know Emily really well because of John, right? Yeah, I mean, we're just a little bit butters for a while.
You know, you guys were some of the first people that I ever met in Los Angeles. I think you guys were literally the first friends of his.
And then you immediately moved out of city. Was that, would you have stayed, we just ran.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, me before Jason, obviously I introduced Jason to Krat, I feel like I'm at the center of like a weird axis, you know what I mean? So how did you meet, you met John via whom? Me? Amy? Will? Yes, yes. And we met...
Via some sort of office slash parks and rec thing? John and I met at Mike Schur's wedding. Got it.
Okay, so Mike knew Amy from SNL. Okay, got it all.
Of course. And I knew Mike and we were at the wedding, and then John and I ended up dancing a lot together.
And I know it sounds terrible, but we did. Wait, John danced? This is unusual for John to dance at a wedding.
You must have had some kind of good moves. It was terrible dancing.
It was a lot of just like jumping around more than anything. I actually just saw some photos of that recently.
Anyway, we became friends. Then these guys started dating and we became friends.
And immediately, Sean, here's one of the things, and I don't know if you can feel it already with yourself. You immediately fall in love with Emily.
She's incredible. Well, I didn't have to meet her to fall in love with her, but now that I have.
I know. But Emily, I want to know, like, what's the job? Because I would love to get to know you, and this is the perfect opportunity.
What brought you over to America first?

I'm obviously assuming you grew up in the UK.

Do you mean what job?

Yeah, either.

Did you used to visit or was it a job that brought you here?

I mean, I know we went to Disney.

Is it Disney World in Florida or Disneyland?

Yes, Disney World.

So we did that when I was a kid.

And that was about it until I started, you know,

trying to come over and audition for stuff and came over for the terrifying pilot season. I remember something back in the day.
And then, what's that? You came over for pilot season? Yes, and I didn't book anything. How old were you? I was about 19, I think.
Wow, really? Were you with mom and dad or were you just solo? No, I was with my ex-boyfriend. Yeah.
And we stayed at the Beverly Hills Motor Hotel. Oh, boy.
That means you just get to park in a spot there and they plug you into cable and stuff like that. But then there was that really cool diner downstairs.
It was an amazing diner. Yeah.
I can't remember what it was called.

Do you remember any of the shows that you auditioned for that pilot season

that ended up going to series that you didn't get?

No, I have no memory because it was so terrifying.

It's all such a blur that whole time.

So I don't know if I remember anything.

So after pilot season, you would just go back home to England?

Then I would go back home to England.

And then I did this little independent film in England called My Summer of Love. It was my first movie.
And then I got an American agent. And then I came back out again.
And I auditioned for Devil Wears Prada quite early on. Which I just watched again like a week ago.
And that was the thing that changed

stuff. That did.
Was that your second

movie? It was my

third movie.

Oh my god. And you just went ahead and

crushed it. I've watched that so many times.

Yeah, you've done like a

miniseries and stuff. You've done like a

television, a film

made for television, right? And then you've done that film

My Summer of Love. And then

you did Devil Wears Prada.

And this was a film that had

Thank you. television, a film made for television, right? And then you've done that film, My Summer of Love.
And then you did Devil Wears Prada. And this was a film that had Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, who was just kind of coming out as this new young star.
And you shone through. You just, like, there was like this thing.
Everybody was like, who is that girl. Did you feel everything changed the moment that film came out? Could you feel it, like, oh, things are different? Yeah, it was, um, I did feel it was almost overnight things changed.
It was quite dramatic. I remember I was in L.A.
and I was staying, actually, with the producer of The Devil Wears Prada. I was staying in her guest house for free if I just would babysit her kids.
And I would go to the same bakery. I would go to the same bakery every day in Beverly Hills.
And then after the weekend it came out, people sort of knew who I was. That's amazing.
And the character's name was Emily. Was that changed or was that just a coincidence? That was just in the script.
That was just in the script. But she was written and the audition for it was mad.
And maybe it's why I got it because I felt so chaotic in the room. I was reading for something else.
I think it was like a dragon flying movie. It was like before Game of Thrones.
It was like a dragon movie happening. I can't remember what the name of it was.
And I was auditioning for that and I was desperate to get it. And then they said that she, hey, we got this other movie and will you read for it quickly? And they just sort of handed me the pages.
And I remember I was rushing to catch my flight and I was so scared of being late for the plane that I think I read the audition in a kind of chaotic way. And maybe that worked.
And then And I remember being back inon in a nightclub with my sister and and i got a call from the director and i mean he must have just been like should i hire this person because it was just like you know and he's like amelie it's david frankel you know it was so cool and that you got the part that's so cool yeah Well, actually, I had to go and audition again. But he said, I would cast you, the studio would like you, because I looked like a mess in the audition before.
I was wearing like a T-shirt and jeans. He went, can you go and put on something more fashionable, you know, so they can see you in the role.
Really? Really? Yeah, you were dressed for the Dragon film. Yeah, so I read again.
But isn't that funny that you're about to do, you read for that, and it feels like overnight. It comes out and you say it feels like overnight, and meanwhile you want to be like, guys, I was here staying at the Motor Inn when I was 19.
I've been fucking paying my goddamn dues. And then people are like, look at this.
But even so, it was quick, right? the success and you have how can you I'm sure you would attribute it to your mom or your dad but can you give an easy explanation for how you've been able to be so elegantly unjaded and conceited with the massive success you had so fast don't attribute it to your member dad either, just to dissuade him from ever again putting words in your mouth. Blame it on your dog.
Your dog's kept you humble? Well, I mean, it was all such a great surprise to me when it actually did happen. I went into the industry without a burning desire to do it, which I think actors sometimes hate to hear.
And your dad was a lawyer, right? Wasn't that right? Yeah, my dad defends criminals for a living still. My mom was an actress and then had way too many children and, you know, had a hard time within the business.
So I didn't have any sort of preconceived idea that it would be a sunny time. You know, I think I'd seen it be quite painful for my own mom.

And so I did a school play, got an agent,

because he came to see the play and he said,

you want to give it a go.

So maybe me going in with quite a casual attitude was good because I didn't expect anything.

I don't know.

I don't know if it's also, if you're from England,

it's so abhorrent if you enthuse readily about yourself.

It is so embarrassing to sort of self-promote or self-aggrandize.

So part of it is sort of cultural.

Yeah, I don't know.

That's interesting, yeah.

Yeah, you do have, well, that's what I mean about you wear it so loosely,

like, you know, you're just so sort of.

Like a drapey Terry shirt.

Like a muumuu.

Well, these aren't drapey. These are quite drapey.
Don't stand up again. Don't, no, sit down.
Okay. Who makes those? Is that James Purse? James Purse.
No, thank you for asking. It's Todd Snyder for champion.
It makes Jason so crazy when I say a name. James Purse is way too quality and classy to make a terry short.

Oh, really?

I have James Purse.

I have James Purse white terry shorts.

Fact.

I love them.

Oh, gosh.

Then I'll wear them.

Because if James Purse is making them, I'm wearing them.

Yeah.

Okay, well, then you will be allowed...

Emily, that right there, Jason just betrayed a thing about him I've long suspected of him, but I haven't noticed due to very evasive measures, quote from Withnail, because what he's done there is, unless it's been stamped okay by certain, as he likes to say, tastemakers, it's not okay, he doesn't have the guts to take a fucking risk. I will not take risks.
I won't. I won't do it.
No. So he literally said

to the guys from Radiohead...

I won't even skip a step

on a staircase.

But you do take risks

with your work.

He said to the guys

from Radiohead,

I want to stamp my foot to it,

but I can't,

but I know that I'm supposed

to like the music.

You're not supposed

to like anything!

I'm leaving this interview.

I'm quitting this interview.

Oh, guys.

Look at us all hanging out.

You take big swings

with your work, though.

Come on.

He might not take a big swing

with a Terry Short,

but he takes big swings

Thank you. Oh, guys.
You take big swings with your work, though. Come on.
He might not take a big swing with a Terry Short, but he takes big swings with what he creates. Yeah, there he does.
He's a very talented guy. I am not a fashion-forward guy, but I am not risk-averse.
I will tell you that. We'll be right back.
Every morning is a new beginning, a chance for a strong start. And it starts at breakfast time.

Okay, I want to get to the, now you say big swings. So I want to talk about something that's a big swing and that we've talked, I've talked to you about it personally because I felt very strongly about this at the time and I feel even more strongly now, I think.
Here we go. The Edge of Tomorrow, the film

you did with Tom Cruise. You worked with so many big names.

Hang on, Sean. It's one of my favorite movies.

It is such an

underrated film. You are

A, so good in it, and I remember

how hard you trained for it and all that stuff

and going into it. But B,

you're just so good in it, and the film itself

is so fucking good, and Tom Cruise

is so good in that film as well. He's brilliant when does this one come out I have heard that no I've heard that that it is the film wait Jason can we please watch it together yeah get over here with your little pinky splint and let's put it on Emily can you talk a little bit about that experience of that film? Because again, you trained so super hard.
Didn't you injure yourself a couple of times? I did. I did.
I still sort of have this injury that sustains from it. And I think, you know, because it was before I had kids.
It was nine, ten years ago we did it. And it was my first foray into action.
And as Tom said rather unreassuringly when we started, goes this is the deep end of action for me and i was like if you're saying that like we are in trouble you know what what was the what was the start what was the well we had to wear these really enormous robotic suits which i think would have been great if they could have cgi'd them but we wanted to do it practically and in a tactile way and you you know, when you hear the word tactile, you're like, that sounds nice and cozy. Like there was nothing cozy about wearing these suits.
Like mine was like 85 pounds. It was so heavy that the first time I put it on, I just started to cry, just started to cry in front of Tom and he didn't know what to do.
And he just stared at me. He was like, I know, I know.
And I was like, Tom, i i'm not sure how i'm gonna get through this shoot and i started to cry i was like i'm just feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot and he literally goes he stared at me for a long time not knowing what to do and he goes come on stop being such a pussy okay yeah nice i love that for tom and i did laugh and then we got through it but it the training was intense yeah it was like twice a day we trained for it but i i got injured doing a stunt uh we called it the beach it was a sort of big sort of beach set that we did the big battles on and i had to do this aerial stunt on wires and i was supposed to land on my shoulder and i landed on my face and my legs kind of went whoop like that.

So it's just a kind of...

And what happened?

Well, I think it was my ribs and my collarbone, which still are a bit dodged now.

Thanks, Tom.

Sean hurt his fingers, his pinky on a piano.

I can see.

Yeah.

Wait, I do need to know.

Reaching for a G.

Because I heard...

Reaching for a G.aching for a G A G flat By the way, that's weird you say it I swear to God it happened on a G sharp Did it really happen on a G sharp? Yeah, it really did happen on a G sharp Poor baby Are you really wonderful at the piano? He's a trained concert pianist Are you really really? Yeah. Emily, his show that's coming to Broadway next year, hang on.
His show that's coming to Broadway next year, he plays the piano live. He plays all this incredible music on stage.
It's incredible. Gershwin.
Oh, my God. Okay.
Well, we need to be friends. Sean's been trying to get a question for six minutes.
Go ahead, Sean. Better be good.
Go ahead. Because I've seen you're champing at the bet.
Better be fucking great. Go ahead.
It's terrible. Color, horoscope sign.
You cut her off like three times to get this in. Go ahead.
Oh, my God. Look who's talking.
I know. Okay, so wait.
I'm on fire. So on the screen, whenever I'm like going, because Scotty and I bought like six, seven hundred movies that are our favorite movies right and so when we scroll down

how depressed do you

want me to be

like

so when we scroll down

do you each have

your own individual

popcorn bowl

or do you guys share it

oh my god

we

we totally share

we do a popcorn bowl

but okay

so

on the

on the like menu thing

sure

it changes

the

the poster for

the edge of tomorrow

changes

and it

they always put

live die repeat

and so do people think that that's the name of the movie? Honestly, it's so frustrating. It has about five titles.
Originally, when I signed on, it was called All You Need Is Kill, which I thought was pretty cool. Which is the name of the book that it's based on.
It's a Japanese book. It's really cool.
But I think Live, Die, Repeat's pretty cool.

Live, Die, Repeat is really cool.

But then it got changed to

Edge of Tomorrow, which I, to be honest with you, didn't

like as much. I didn't love it either.

It sounds like a soap opera.

Yes. Whereas Live, Die,

Repeat is great because ultimately

the film is just you see the mileage you can

get out of a repeating day. It's really cool.

Yeah. So did they end up calling it Edge of Tomorrow, colon, Live, Die, Repeat for real?

Yes.

I don't even know.

I mean, people say different things to me all the time.

And I go, yes, it's one of those three titles.

I feel like this was all Tom's fault.

I feel Tom in a marketing meeting, you know, up on a chair saying,

no, no, guys, understand something.

Hey, are you fucking crazy?

He really didn't.

He was upset about it.

Are you crazy blaming Tom Cruise?

He will hear about this.

I'm not blaming him for anything,

but pure success

in some of the greatest movies

we've ever seen.

I love that.

I love that guy.

Did I save it?

I love his...

You saved it.

I remember, Emily,

when you were doing it,

I kept asking you about Tom Cruise

because I remember

Kraz and I were obsessed with him

after all the,

you know, the movies. Is there going to be a sequel, Emily? I hope so.
I hope so. I read that.
Well, it's 10 years later now. I mean, I would sort of want someone to do most of the stunts for me this time.
Yeah, right. Do you know that the suit was so heavy that a man was my stunt double? I was like, that should tell you something.
Good Lord. That you can't find a girl to want to do it.
So, Emily, when you were telling the story about reading for, whatchamacallit? Devil Wears Prana. Devil.
That's it. You slipped into an American accent there telling the story.
I know, it's so good. Very easily.
Yeah, you do. You do it so, so well.
Is it a hard accent to do? And is there a word that you use that trips you into it? And then after you say like, you know, Brooklyn or bridge or whatever it is, like, okay, got it. Got the sound.
No. Is there a trick? Because everybody's obsessed with Brits who can do an American accent.
But do you think they all can do American accents? Or are you sometimes like, oh, that's terrible? Much better than Americans can do British accents.

Yeah, for sure.

But, you know, Bridget Jones' diary was on the other day.

Oh, my God, Renee crushed it.

Absolutely.

Yeah, she does it really well.

The tricky part with the British accent, so I hear, I've never tried it,

is there's different social classes.

And so what we might think is, oh, yeah, I'm doing it right now.

It's like, no, that's northern or southern or rich or poor.

But I guess the same thing with American too, right?

They're not. classes and so what we might think is oh yeah I'm doing it right now it's like no that's northern or southern or rich or poor but I guess that's the same thing with American too right there can be southern there can be eastern for sure I mean I think I can very very different my son but just do the job yeah just do the job that's not bad actually we have discussed this before do you remember when you and Justin Theroux used to do the accent after me? Yes.
And actually yours was better than Justin.

Thank you.

It's like much better.

It's recorded now.

All right, so is there a word,

a little keyword that you use to just...

I wouldn't say a keyword,

but there's certain words that are very difficult

for English to say.

For example, the name Arthur.

Can you say Arthur? Arthur. No, but say it in your accent.
Arthur. Impossible.
Arthur. Arthur.
Arthur. That's good.
No, I can never do it. I can never get it.
How about this? I find that this one trips up people from the UK and Ireland. Arnold Palmer.
Arnold Palmer. No, see? Arnold Palmer.
Arnold Palmer. Palmer.
I can't even say it. The only rule is the R's.
That's it. I think that's why they went to Arnie.
Yeah, but it's the R. It's the R, which, do you know why? Because we would say Palmer, and that R sound is usually an AR sound for us.
Right. Do you know what I mean? That's what's hard about it.
Now, Will, did you have to work at all to get rid of your Canadian? Did you ever think about it? Oh, fuck, but I thought about it every day, you know. They're like, okay, and we're ready for you to audition.
Go ahead. My name's Chandler, and I'm reading I'm here in Friends, and you'll.
And they're like, good. Nice to meet you.
Thank you so much. Fuck, eh? Can I expect a call back or what? Wait a minute.
I did a little bit. I did have to lose a little bit of the, I noticed.

Tomorrow?

Doing voiceovers about in-house and stuff like that

because as I was reading stuff, I was reading for American products.

And so gradually.

Like a car company?

Well, yeah, eventually a car company, of course.

But Jason, your mom is British.

Didn't you pick that up?

Your mom's British.

I did. Yeah, anything I said for a long time, but that was about it.
Yeah. Anything.
And you guys say anything, right? Anything. Anything.
I'll say anything. My kids sound very American, though.
Do they? Yeah, so, so, so American. So what's funny is your husband's very American in the best way, and God love him.
And we love Kraz. And I wanted to get into, so you guys go into, decide to make this film together, A Quiet Place.
And John directs it to enormous success. Critical box office, you name it.
What was that process like when you guys looked at each other and decided like, yeah're gonna do this and I'm gonna star in it and you are directing it did you guys have how were those conversations we're gonna risk the marriage the harmony exactly I mean you sort of feel did it start small yeah I mean John I remember John got sent it as like a treatment and to be in as an actor and then then he pitched it to me and he just seemed to have such... Probably unenthusiastically.
No, actually really enthusiastically, but just... No, I'm kidding.
Yeah, it's exactly because he's so enthusiastic. But it was like he had such a vivid world already when he pitched it that I said, I think you should direct this film.
And I pitched a friend of mine to play the part. No way.
Yeah, that I ended up playing. And then I remember we were on a flight and he had written the whole script and he wrote it quite quickly.
And I read it. It's a quiet place.
There's no talking. It's two or three pages.
No, that's longer on the stage directions. That's so true.
Great dialogue. And so I read it on a plane.
I remember kind of popping my head over the top of the seat. And I said, I know this is terrible.
I'm about to completely mess my friend over. But would you ever want me to do it? On a plane.
And he was sort of thrilled. Did he tear up? And said yes.
I mean, he did because he always tears up. You know, so ready.
I know, it's the best. It's the best, right? They're just primed and ready at all times.
Have you ever seen him fake cry? He can squeeze them out like fake cry. Yeah.
Like that. And do you remember that time we were walking? It's astonishing.
Next time, get him to do it if he ever comes on. It's astonishing.
It's like a gift. Like a soap opera actor, right? He just like flick and switch.
Yeah, yeah, it's incredible. Emily, do you remember that time we were walking back from dinner you me and John we were in New York at my old apartment and we started talking about something John started to cry we both were like oh my god John do you do you remember that at all you probably don't he's always always crying I know we were like John I know so what was the conversation like, understand.
Well, did you guys know how you both are on sets such that you knew that it was going to be a good match? Well, that's a great question because I think we are all quite different people when we're at work. You know, you're just sort of a different version of yourself.
And I think when you work with new people that are not related to you or that you're not married to, you just have a diplomacy with them

that you don't have with your partner.

So I knew we were going to have this sort of accelerated version

of working together that could either go tits up or not, you know.

And, like, I think we both found each other quite intense suddenly, you know, at work. Like, he was like, God, you're so like, I was like, you're intense.
And he's like, you're focused. And he was directing, too.
So, like, you had to behave a bit, right? Yeah, I had to sort of behave a bit, you know. I don't feel I had to eat shit, but I did sort of uphold, I felt.
You were agreeable for a few days. Yeah, we had like one terrible whispered fight on set in a back room.
Well, because it was a quiet place. One whispered argument, which all the crew heard.
We're like one of those like, well, I'm trying to tell you. Can you tell us what it was about? It was basically about, he had this glorious one-er that he wanted to do revealing me sitting in a chair crying about our dead child.
For Tracy, that's a one shot, no coverage. Camera rolls all the way through.
It's a one shot. And so with those shots, they're quite technical.
So you are often asked to do something again and again. And I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to if he started with that wide wanna, that I wouldn't be able to, because I'm not someone who can cry on demand all the time and I have to go to a rather ugly place so I'd say can you start with the closer coverage of this emotional stuff, you know and I think he just, because of light and everything, as you know Jason, when you're directing you have a million other things telling you you have to do it a different way.
You don't want to accommodate some god damn actor. You want to accommodate your wife and their actory notes.
So I do remember just pulling him in the back room and being like, you told me that you would stop. How did it settle? We just drank a lot of whiskey when we got home, and it was great.
We had these long car rides on the way to work and back. like because i i also so he just had a bottle

between his legs driving you home exactly just a bottle yeah why does it have to be between his legs bottles are usually too big for the cup holder true but you know i will say i mean i think there was a part of me starting the film that felt that i was bracing for impact a little bit like will off marriage end in divorce

you know but I just respect him so much I think he's so talented I wasn't aware of how talented at directing he was I don't think he knew and I remember when we were going into it I remember going do you know how to shoot this film like are you sure you know what you're doing and he turned out to be so visual

and I was stunned

it was incredible

it was incredible well you know Emily I always say you have to fall in respect not fall in love wow man I like that it's on the small of your back you've been saying that since the day you read that off the bathroom wall hey Hey, hey, hey,

I was also,

I was in John's first film.

Yes.

Interviews with hideous men

for 30 seconds.

He is such a talented guy

as we know

and he is,

and I joke about his enthusiasm.

His enthusiasm is

beyond infectious.

We should have him on the show.

I know.

Hang on,

let's stop talking,

but I will say.

I'd love for you to just

pan your camera over, Emily, and he's just sitting right next to you, just off camera, staring at the camera. Seathing, this riddled with loathing for all of you.
I had one other question about that, because when you're making A Quiet Place and the sequel with your husband, when you're acting, you go into that place in your brain where you're focused on your work. Is that what happened when you were suiting scenes where you would completely be in the scene and in your head as the character and forget almost that your husband was directing? Yeah.
Do you know what I mean? Did you switch off and on in your brain and see him as a director and then cut that husband? Yeah, I honestly saw him as my husband again once we were in the car driving home. It's like we got our secret language back, whereas on set there's something a little more sort of performative about everything, you know.
But I do feel he is somebody as, you know, in a professional sense who sees all of me and all of what I do and likes it. So he's very freeing, and he's an actor, so he knows to give you space and he knows not to come in.
Sean, you go through, you were saying that you go, Scotty, you see him sometimes as your husband and not just as a sloppy Joe delivery service. You know what I mean? They love the role play.
But I love him as both. He goes outside, he hits a doorbell.
Sean makes him wait. And I'm like, oh, thank you for the delivery, sir.
Boy, is that sloppy. Look at that.
Let me clean this up. You know, there's two in here.
Would you like to join me? Do you think John would be as good an actor for you if you were directing him? What a brilliant question. I think I would be so scared to direct him.
I would not want to. Because he would just be pushing back like, what, really? You want me to what? Well, I think because he would, I feel deep down, he would visually have a much better idea for how it should be done.
I think he would listen to me very much from an acting perspective because I would give him a couple of notes, you know, when we were shooting. Sure.
But he would second guess you on your coverage strategy. Of course.
I feel like I would be completely second guessed at every turn. So you do that film with John, incredible success.
You'd also done, I think before worked with our other good friend Justin Theroux, whom we mentioned before. Old sleeveless Theroux.
Infer got an inferior accent to mine in virtually every accent. Yeah, it's way worse.
But what he lacks in, you know, sort of accent ability he makes up for in sleevelessness. Do you, when you did Girl on the Train, you talk about not being able to access.
I felt like that was such a deeply emotional performance that you gave that was very, very small, that was very... And, you know, of course, there was all this stuff behind it that you find out that sort of, as we peel back, we find out about this character.
Was that a difficult... Because you said you had to go to an ugly place, I imagine you probably had to live in quite an ugly place.
And I know you don't want to maybe talk about your process. I'm not asking that.
Well, it's also just, I don't know how interesting it is because I don't know if my process is sort of specific enough to make an interesting point about, you know. Yeah, but so forget your actual process.
Was it a difficult process of making that film because it was so... That was a very difficult shoot.
That was a very difficult one. And some of them, even if you're doing something dark, like I remember on Sicario, we're doing something really dark and really intense.
God damn it, I love that movie. But the experience was sort of wonderful.
I think there was something about just the depth of despair that that character in Girl on the Train goes to and dealing with addiction and everything. And me not having dealt with addiction, I had to dive quite deep into a world that seemed inaccessible to me in the beginning.
So it was a long process to figure out how to play her and quite an arduous one. And the shoot was hard and I was pregnant and I couldn't tell anyone.
And so I just felt exhausted and sick all the time. So I just remember that being a hard shoot, mainly because of Justin's fashion sense, but he has got incredible arms.

How about that mothering thing? I mean, you're constantly working. It's so great.
And your kids are fantastic.

And your marriage is fantastic.

It's just, it seems so

difficult to keep it all

healthy and harmonious.

And there's probably no secret to

that either, right? It's just diligent.

I don't know if

I ever get it right. I don't

know if the juggle is ever

sufficient on either side. I guess none of us will know until the kids are, you know, 25.
But it is interesting. Like, I think as a mother, you do, and if you are working as well, I think women get asked a lot more, like, how do you juggle it? And I don't know if men or dads get asked that as much.
It's weird. It is like that sort of tradition where like, well, it's just assumed the guy's going to be away at work all day while the mom is taking care of it.
Like it is so antiquated. Like I don't think John's ever been asked that question, you know.
And I was doing a film in Atlanta this summer and I was sort of amazed how many people said to me, where are your kids? And I just want to be like, where are your kids? I know, I know. You know what I mean? Like, it's so strange.
Isn't that the worst thing? Yeah, like you should be with them 24. Yeah, and people ask, Jason, have you gotten that before too? And I see people sometimes, also sometimes people that you know, and they'll do this thing with this sort of like fake inquisitive because they really want to know

what the deal is

like what they go

so their way they do it is they dress it up with

whatever you got

yeah and it's with that sort of smile

so they can dig a little bit

and find out what's going on

people do it all the time

because they want to know

by the way so even if you're a working mom

there's a little bit of shame

and they're like so you're off doing this

Europe makes... People do it all the time.
Well, because they want to know, by the way, so even if you're a working mom, there's a little bit of shame and they're like, so you're off doing this. You're off making your movie.
Who's looking after your kids? I'm concerned about your kids. It's like, fuck off, I got it from here.
Yes, yes. Truly, it's exactly right.
And it's that sort of faux care, you know, and you're like, no, you're kind of judging me because i think maybe our job is perceived as being quite fun and sort of frivolous right exactly that you're choosing having a whale of a time over being with your kids you know exactly right yeah yeah exactly and and also for me i find like the added layer because uh you know i i'm i have kids with my ex-wife and then i'm divorced they they have They have an added layer of like, what's the deal? Like, how involved are you? Yeah, how involved are you? What do you mean how fucking involved? They're my fucking kids. I'm like, also like, oh, let me break down for you how it goes and what nights and who stays where.
Are you out of your fucking mind? And why do they care? Why do they care? You know why? Usually it's a projection. Yeah.
Because they're deeply... If you're happy, if you were happy in your own situation, you wouldn't have the time to...
There you go. You wouldn't care to ask.
Exactly. There you go.
And I have to say, John and I talked about it all the time. You are the most beautiful dad.
We talk about it so much. It's really stunning.
I love watching you with this. Thank you.
He's talking about adopting me. Oh, gosh.
What is... Emily, what is the thing you like to do when you and or John aren't working? What is the thing you like to do with your kids the most? I mean, I really love baking with them.
We love baking with some stuff. Me too.
I just got into it. And I love taking them out to parks.
I love a park. I love a swing.
I love all of it. God, the Brits love parks.
Now, are you the kind of park goer that brings one of those big sheets and puts it down all over the grass and just sits down cross-legged? No, I feel like I'm usually ill-prepared with the sheet, you know, with the picnic blanket. Yeah, I just, when's the last time you guys sat crisscross applesauce? Like, you can't do that anymore after, like, 12.
It's just the hips don't work. Do you want to hear the saddest story? This is a very sad story.
And it's to the point of crisscross applesauce. So we had this incredible dancer in Mary Poppins, who was the lead guy in this massive dance number.
This guy is a lethal machine dance king. He was incredible.
He was in the park on the weekend. He was sitting crisscross applesauceauce he saw a friend jumped up snapped both his ankles because his legs went to sleep no way done was cut from the film wait because his legs fell asleep legs fell asleep this is a very flexible man this is a guy who can do a box split and he shouldn't have been sitting with his legs crossed.
Snap, snap, instantly. Isn't that awful? I've just always seen that sort of, that tableau of people sitting on a blanket and a park and I just feel, there's no way anybody there is comfortable.
Nobody, no. And there's fucking bugs crawling around on your food and I don't get it.
I don't get it. I like to sometimes, I like to go to the park on a weekend and me and my lady and we sit on a blanket.
Oh, God, I don't like the way you said that. Yeah, we smoke a little grass.
We smoke a little hooch. We smoke a little grass and, you know, we just talk.
People kind of wander by and we talk to people and we just smoke a little grass. You should try that in your Canadian accent.
It would be even sexier. Fuck, we're smoking weed out there.
It is the last thing anybody in Los Angeles ever does. And I get that people in New York do it a lot because no one's got a front yard, backyard, anything because it's so small, right? It's true.
Yeah. It's true.
Emily, I want to go back to... Sorry, shall I go ahead? No, it's okay.
You want to talk more about the grass? I did want to do a little more park blanket time. Oh, God.
I wanted to ask you because I do think it's, I'm kind of stuck on this thing. I think it's fascinating how you explained how you entered the business by just kind of almost, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but almost like a hobby.
You're like, yeah, I did a play. Sure, I'll pursue it.
It's fine. Oh, my God.
It's what Jason calls sexy and different. She's back.
She's back. Which is part of the reason.

So as you now have become more successful and worked a lot more and shown that you are this huge talent.

Jump your hand down.

I can't look at the pinky splint anymore.

I'll put it down.

Showed that you're this big talent in the business.

Have you gained a little more hunger for pursuing it

or are you still kind of in that same space?

What he wants to know is how much money do you make?

No, it's just... Have you gained a little more hunger for pursuing it? Or are you still kind of in that same space? What he wants to know is how much money do you make? Just say it.
When is enough enough? You want to know my ardent passion for it, which I absolutely have fallen madly in love with it. It was a slow burn.
Okay, good. Because I was going to say, if it did go away, how would you feel? Oh, my God.
I hope it never goes away. Destroyugs.
Okay, good. Good.
I was just curious because it was... It would be girl on the train.
Girl on the train every day. Girl on the train.
Oh, no. Okay, good.
No, I would truly be desperately sad because I love it deeply. I deeply, deeply love it.
But it was a slow burn, falling in love with it. So you developed the love as it went on.
Yeah, for sure. Oh, God.
I understand that. Yeah, of course.
Now, do you see, pardon me if I have not heard or seen of your recent Broadway successes, but do you see yourself maybe doing a play like Sean here on Broadway set? I would love to. I would really love to.
Sean, are you going to be singing in your show? No, not this one. No, God, no.
Never again. That I would not want to do, but I would love to do a play.
I started out doing plays, and I haven't done one for forever, and I would really love it. But you do sing and dance, right? Yeah, but I wouldn't want to do it every night, like eight shows a week.
Who wants to do that? One of my brothers, who I love dearly, was like, what are you complaining about? You just have to work three hours a night. I'm like, it's not.
You have no idea. Did you throw your dim sum at him? Some of my dim sum.
No, it's like an, I mean, people can joke all they want, but it's like, it's like being an athlete. You have to like, wake up, eat the right food, make sure you sleep, exercise, work out, stretch before you do it.
It's like a whole thing from the second you wake up to the second you go to bed. It's just a whole thing.
What do you find the hardest part? Is it eat the right food? Yeah, probably. Because I reward myself at the end of the night.
The Sloppy Joes. I ate like shit yesterday.
Oh my God, Sean, you would have been so proud of me. What did you eat? I didn't have any dinner and I just was like, ah, fuck it, I was just by myself.
And I just ate ice cream. I ate a bowl of ice cream.
Yeah, why wouldn't you? Good for you. I thought you were going to say something really boring like broth.
And I was like, oh, come on. No, no, no, no, no.
No, I had a bowl last night. Did you take it to bed with you? Did you wake up with a bowl next to you in the morning? Like a bad after school special?

Little Willie's got a problem.

You know what?

I did think of Jason.

This is how fucked up how much he has fucking polluted.

Yeah.

As I was eating it, I was like, oh, fucking.

If Bateman saw this, he would be saying this and he would be saying that. And I'd be like, hey, daddy.
You'd be 750 fucking pounds if I wasn't in your life. And me the same.
I think about you all the time, too, right? When I'm about to have something real salty. You eat well.
Emily, you eat well. You like to eat well, or are you like, I wish I was eating like shit.
No, I have like bouts of eating really well, and then b of eating badly. It sort of like fall off.
Well, the baking though, I mean, that can get away from you. You got to watch out for that.
That can get starchy quick. Sean just taught himself how to make a cheesecake two weeks ago.
Oh, I'd love to learn how to make a cheesecake. Oh, my God.
We had a spare Wednesday. How'd it go? Have we talked about it yet on the show? No.
We sure haven't. Sean on Sunday night, we were were at our friends for dinner, and he goes, and they're like, Sean made dessert.
And they brought out this fucking cheesecake that he had made with an unbelievable graham cracker crust or whatever. He's trying to figure out how to fill a week, so he decided to teach himself how to make a cheesecake.
It was so good. Sean, was it like a classic cheesecake, or was it a flavor cheesecake? It was classic.
It takes about nine hours to make it it because you know what a water bath is? I'm sorry, a water bath. A water bath, yeah.
So you had to make the water bath and put the tinfoil in the springform pan and then you have to make the top of the sour cream layer. It's a lot of work.
It was delicious. Did you do a double baked? It was really nice.
Yes, well, you put it in the oven for an hour and you let it cook and then you can't open it and you let it sit in the oven for another hour. And then you take it out of the water bath and let it room temp and then you put it in the fridge.
It's like a whole thing. Emily, if you really wanted to impress Sean who was coming over for dinner, what would you bake with the kids? What would it be? Is it a dinner or sweets? I'd probably make like a, I'm probably not as good at the baking.
I mean, I make a fantastic roast chicken. I would make you like a good roast chicken.
Yeah. I'll be over for it.
Am I, is John a good cook? Am I remembering that right? No, no, no. No, no, no.
No, he's very good at scrambled eggs and that's about it. Oh, boy.
What about, Em, if you're at home and you're in Brooklyn and you guys are going to order in takeout? Yeah. And you're like, fuck it, I'm going to live a little tonight.
What is the thing? What's the thing? We had Thai food last night. A Patsy U just crushed a Patsy U.
I love a Patsy U. I love a drunken noodle.
I love a drunken noodle. Are you fucking shooting me? So good.
So good. There's just so much starch and just so much salt.
That was Jason's nickname in 1998, drunken noodle. Drunken noodle.
Yeah. Oh, drunken noodle.
Because it described his state of mind and also his state of play. Pro-esque.
You know what I had for breakfast yesterday, guys? Yeah. Please let us guess, please.
Fruit Loops. No.
A bagel. No.
Pop Rocks. Sugar Smacks.
No. Pop Rocks.
I'm not kidding. Dipping sticks and maple syrup.
I love dipping sticks. Hang on, let me fucking guess.
I thought you said that we could guess. A tub of...
Chicken and waffles. A tub of Cool Whip.

No, I had a bowl of chili with cornbread.

Ooh.

Oh, God damn it.

That's a tough way to start the day, isn't it?

How often do you redo the plumbing at the house?

Are you a galvanized steel yet?

Have you gotten a cease and desist from the power and water? We have PVC pipe. Do you have your plumber and his snake equipment on retainer? His snake equipment.
Emily, I apologize for today and the last 59 minutes.

Sean and Scott, he just said, fuck it.

And they just went straight to the source.

They took the toilet out.

They cut a hole in the floor.

And they go straight into the main line.

Throw a bunch of hay down there.

Right into the main line.

Fuck it.

Fuck it.

We'll do it live.

Tap into the city.

Emily Blunt, listen to me.

I've been such a fan for so long.

It's such a pleasure meeting you.

You too.

I don't know. Tap into the city.
Emily Blunt, listen to me. I am such, I've been such a fan for so long.

It's such a pleasure meeting you.

You too.

I just think, well, first of all, I would love to see you in New York.

I know.

Easy, easy, easy.

Please, I would love it.

Let's do like lunch or something.

I would love it because I would love to go for lunch with you

because I don't want the last image of you that I have of you

and your toilet habits. Like, this is terrible.
It's a great point. Well, at the very latest, we're all going to get together and go see Sean's play called Goodnight Oscar playing at some theater in the spring.
It's in New York. It's a Belasco theater.
It's a Belasco theater. It's in the spring, so we've got time for this pinky injury.

Yes, that's why I'm attending.

There'll be something else.

Believe me, reaching for the Froot Loops.

Reaching for the Froot Loops is no guarantee of staying healthy.

It's so true.

Will knows me.

I'm going to lacerate his hand with a spoon.

There'll be something else.

We love you, Emily.

Please say hi to John.

Tell him to clear some time for us, please.

Emily, are you guys going to be in the city in December during the holidays?

So do you know what?

We're not.

We're about to go to Sydney, Australia for 12 weeks.

I'm doing a movie out there.

No.

Did one of you say no?

No.

I did.

Yeah, no.

No.

I'm the voice of Australia.

Did you know that?

Don't.

Thank you. What if you say no? No.
I did. Yeah, no.
No. Aluminium.
I'm the voice of Australia. Did you deny that? Don't.
I am. Oh, my God.
That's brilliant. I'm the spokesperson for Tourism Australia.
Not a joke. Are you really? I didn't know that.
When did you get that? You don't do the accent, do you? No, it's me and Rose Byrne, and it just came out, and it's about telling people to go back I swear to God stop it yeah it's funny

anyway

alright well it's working

I'm gonna miss you guys

oh that sucks

I know that sucks

you're gonna miss Christmas too Emily

you know they celebrate Christmas

in the summer there

we're gonna

no no no

we're gonna have a hot Christmas

we're gonna have a pool party

literally

Jason does that to me every time

and I was like

really?

yeah I was waiting for you to go

hang on what?

what?

stupid Sean

no we're gonna have a

we're gonna have a hot Christmas

I'm so excited

Thank you. And I was like, really? Yeah, I was waiting for you to go, hang on, what? What? Stupid Sean.
No, we're going to have a hot Christmas. I'm so excited.
Dang it. Wait, really quick.
Tell me what the movie is and tell me who's in it, directing it. Are you excited? What's going on? Very excited.
Brian Gosling is in it and David Leitch is directing it. It's called The Fall Guy based on that.
Don't you love Leitch? I love David Leitch. Wait, The Fall Guy based on the TV show? Based on that TV series.
Do you remember that TV show? Yes, of course. I love it.
That's cool. So Ryan is playing the Fall Guy.
He's playing the stunt guy. And it's this bonkers, mad, incredible action adventure.
It's very funny. That sounds so fantastic.
Amazing. Amazing.
And it'll be so fun. Good for you.
The Leech is the best. Well, keep doing like the greatest work in the world and being the greatest person in the world and we'd like to see and hear more of you in person.
Emily, it's so delightful to see you. You're just, you're just something else.
Guys, love you guys so much. Love you too.
Love to John and the kids. Nice to meet you.
Thank you. Lovely to meet you, Sean.
Yeah. So nice to meet you.
All right, see you soon. All right, dudes.
Love you. Bye.
Love you too. Have a great time.
Bye. Man.
Right? I've been such a fan for so long. Me too.
I love her. I can't believe you guys haven't met.
I know John, but you would love her, Sean. It was B.E.
before Emily. I am, I am, I am, I do, I think we've got a serious situation with John.
I don't know how that has gotten away from us. And now it's too, now it's like too late.
It's on me. It's bad.
It's on me. I feel like I have been sort of clearing out a little bit and not wanting to take that from you because you knew him before me.
That's going to be my excuse, which is pretty true. I've got to get on to that.
You're a terrible friend, Will.

Well, that's true.

But I'm so glad you brought up

the Edge of Tomorrow.

That's like one of my...

That film is so good.

I'm serious.

Can you really seriously watch that?

Jason, you're going to be blown away

by how good it is.

And I think, was that the same director,

Joe Kaczynski, I want to say,

who did Top Gun, I want to say? Or Doug Liman. Doug Liman was Edge of Tomorrow? I think that's right.
I think it was Doug Liman. I'll look it up right now.
Yeah. It was Doug Liman.
Tom Cruise did another great film with Joe Kaczynski, though, I think. Anyway.
Doug Liman also did the first Bourne movie. He's done a lot of, like very quietly did a bunch of big movies that were real kind of game changers.
That Edge of Tomorrow, Jason, you, I mean, we've spent most of this show talking about Edge of Tomorrow, but it is one of the more underrated movies of the last 30 years. And Tom's actually funny in it.
It's like a comic. Everything about it is so good.
It's really well made. I'm on it.
But I love the Emily of mine. But that Emily, what a...

She really is the real life Mary Poppins.

No, she's something else, man.

Yeah, she's just a great friend.

And I meant it when I...

We should have gone further on that answer

about how...

What's the secret sauce to her being so goddamn affable

and personable and genuine?

Well, it's what you always say.

It's the sexy indifference. Well, but yeah, I mean...
But for her, it's not put on. She doesn't do it.
No, I know. She's very comfortable.
She's confident. Her mom and dad are really nice.
She comes from a normal place. She had a, you know, and I think that that lays the base for being a very sort of normal, comfortable person.
She's not insecure. I mean, everybody's got their regular stuff as human beings.
Right. But it's not like she's not doing it out of a place of pain or whatever.
She's doing it all because, you know, she loves to do it and she's a good person. She's very, very down to earth, as you guys know.
Yeah, and I feel like that's just the way she wants to be and would be like that with or without fame and success. And she and John are great together.
They're very good sort of yin-yang too. Like they work off each other very well.
And I joke about John's enthusiasm in the best way because I love him. He's like a puppy.
I always describe him. He's like a big.
Well, because they fell in respect. They didn't fall in love.
They fell in respect. Holy fuck.
So listen, but. I just can't believe you tattooed that to the small of your back.
It just, it seems, that's excessive. Aren't you excited about her new movie called, what's it called again? What's it called? The Fall...
Guy! Everybody! You can't say guy. And by the way, why do you go, why, yeah, but it's guy's not bi.
But why do you always go up? Why are you yelling? And why does it always go, hi? It needs energy. You've got to leave people with energy.
And then you repeat it, and you repeat it. Like, well, how did that become what it is? Because, yeah.
Like, you make it worse. You know what? You know what? I've decided that for all these, I mean, first of all, stop pumping the air.
And you can't say guy.

What you need to do if you're worried about having a sign-off,

you always have to have one in your pocket on stand.

Yeah!

Nailed it!
