Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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. Oh, it's nice.
Zip in the back.

Speaker 1 No, snap in the front, zip in the back.

Speaker 1 It was pretty great.

Speaker 1 So, Sean,

Speaker 1 this is playing piano, rehearsing for your upcoming Broadway show. Called

Speaker 1 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 Good Night Oscar.

Speaker 1 Performances Start April 7th in New York at the Belasco Theater. And you can buy tickets at something.com.
Can I say goodnightoscar.com?

Speaker 1 You know what? After I talked to a friend,

Speaker 1 that was Oscar Levette just as I remembered him.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Go ahead, Sean. We're not going to open it up.

Speaker 1 Okay, it's up to you guys. I don't care.
No, it's up to you.

Speaker 1 We, first of all, we love you, and I will say we did try to come in the, I know we're talking about Good Night Oscar again, but we did try to come in the the spring and then we couldn't.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you tried it real hard. Yo, why didn't we go? I was working on the weekends.

Speaker 1 And then during the week, you didn't want to.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, 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?

Speaker 1 Or maybe

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 But also, like, I'm not one of those people. I don't think you guys are too.
It's like, you've got to come see my show. No, no.
Or you got to go see my movie. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, I'm just like, come on, I don't expect anyone to

Speaker 1 even if it's in the convenience of your own home on television, I don't expect you to watch.

Speaker 1 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 going to do?

Speaker 1 I don't want to have it. Yeah, send out a newsletter.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. No.
Yeah. You know, you'll see about it.
You'll see about it on social media when people are,

Speaker 1 you know, rich. Got white pants on today, Will? Okay.

Speaker 1 Oh, white shorts.

Speaker 1 I'm wearing white shorts. No, no, no.
Don't, don't, don't spread them.

Speaker 1 Ew, and white slides? What's going on? Do you have a yacht party?

Speaker 1 I've got these Philips. I see them.
Wait, Josh. What are those? Are Air Jordan slippers? Slides.
Yeah. Oh, slides.

Speaker 1 What's the difference between a slide and a slipper? I'm wearing these. These shorts are so comfy, and they're like a Terry short.
You know? Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Stop with that. Don't ever say that again.

Speaker 1 You know what I would love? I'd love for you to just put that dumb outfit on thinking.

Speaker 1 I just saw top pubes.

Speaker 1 He just showed us the waistband listener, and the shorts were down a little bit lower than his ideal.

Speaker 1 I'd love for you to go to just get in the car. Oh, I got to go get some milk down at the liquor store or something.

Speaker 1 Not expecting to be out really out about 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.

Speaker 1 That's what Scotty always says to me. He's like, I'm just going to the 7-Eleven to get some ice cream.
It's like that. Just like you're getting a flat.

Speaker 1 But look at you, Jay. I get that from you.
You're like, you don't give a shit. I don't give a shit.
The 7-Eleven doesn't have the ice cream I like. But I will not leave the house with

Speaker 1 my Birkenstocks on that have the fuzz on the inside for the furry.

Speaker 1 I would totally do that. Those are slippers.
I would totally do that. I'd never be seen in public with that.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 1 Actually, it's funny that you say that because I wear my slippers often to drive the kids to school and whatever, and 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, that first

Speaker 1 dinner date. Do you remember that?

Speaker 1 Were you pulling the little

Speaker 1 stand with your

Speaker 1 IV? Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 1 He had claimed at that time, though, he kept saying, I hope I die soon. I hope so.
So I guess he had given up in that moment. No,

Speaker 1 I had UG slippers, which could, you know, he did have Ugg slippers. Oh, so their dress up.
Remember Richard Ehrlich?

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I go, hey, Kate Hudson called, she really wants her boots back.

Speaker 1 Now, Kate makes anything look good. Let's hold on a second now.
Kate

Speaker 1 can make anything look good. Oh, I agree.
Starting any trend. And by the way, Ehrlich can make anything look good.
Ehrlich, let me tell you something. Talk about this.

Speaker 1 The guy is good looking when you can pull off a turtleneck. His hair is phenomenal.
That's one of the best things.

Speaker 1 You know who else can pull off a turtleneck? Sean Levy. Sean Levy can also pull off a ton of.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah, is a Canadian countryman of yours.
Not a lot of guys can wear the white Terry shorts, though. Tod Snedder.
Tod Snedder for Champion.

Speaker 1 I told you never to say that again. It's Todd Snedder for champion.
I know you like that.

Speaker 1 Here come the boxes.

Speaker 1 Can we get to the guest, please?

Speaker 1 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.
Well, hang on a a second. Let me sit up a little bit taller then.

Speaker 1 Thought it was a good idea. Oh, because my guests aren't.

Speaker 1 For my guests, you don't stop.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 My guest has complimented me before, and I don't know if they remember. I'll give it to you.
She remembers,

Speaker 1 but she has.

Speaker 1 But I will say this.

Speaker 1 She doesn't need to because she's got a lot going on for her. She's a recipient of many awards.
She's a shitty taste in men's clothing, I can tell you.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, wait, I can't wait for you to, you know, chase that think bar with your own fucking words, dude. Because guess what?

Speaker 1 This is a real-class act. Uh-oh.
This is a top-of-the-line actor.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 This is the red carpet stalwart.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's the one and only Miss Emily Blunt.

Speaker 1 Emily.

Speaker 1 Oh, this is perfect. This is a nice Saturday morning.
Let's just smooth it in there.

Speaker 2 I love your shorts.

Speaker 1 I think it's a short short. Thank you.
Don't say Terry again.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 2 No, you got me with Terry. I was all in with Terry.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 1 Don't interrupt her. She's sorry.

Speaker 2 Go ahead. You have a great suntan, and that helps.

Speaker 1 Thank you very much. Thank you, I do.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 You get a tube of what he's got. You can rub one on yourself.
It's all bronzer. Excuse me.

Speaker 1 First of all,

Speaker 1 excuse me?

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 What is the brand of the bronzer that you use?

Speaker 1 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 book. No, no, no, no, no.
What am I? Trump?

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Emily, Emily, good morning.

Speaker 1 Hi, Emily. Hi, guys.
How are you? This is so long overdue. You know what's even longer overdue? What? John.
Now we got to talk about why hasn't John been on the show yet? Will

Speaker 1 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. Kyle Tracy.

Speaker 2 He's going to come in swinging.

Speaker 1 He's going to come in very hot. And he's going to come in.
He should have been on first before. He's going to come in with a ton of emotion.
He's going to come in with a lot of emotion.

Speaker 1 You might not even say yes now that Emily's been on first. And we're 150 episodes into this.

Speaker 1 Hey, Tracy, just so you know, we're talking about John Krasinski. I'm sure you know that they're married.
The John Krasins.

Speaker 1 That's right. The John Krasinski.
Emily Blunt.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Hi.
Period. Hi.

Speaker 1 You know, it's like, you know what? You know what's funny? I just, I think about how great you are and everything you do.

Speaker 1 And then when I, 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.

Speaker 1 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 like, you're not into self-promotion. You're not a braggart.

Speaker 1 You're not kind of like looking for action. You just kind of do it and you just kind of, and it's

Speaker 1 like it kind of falls off. You wear it really.
Are you saying you're not on snap?

Speaker 1 Are you not on snap?

Speaker 2 Is it a verb now? It's just

Speaker 2 snipping.

Speaker 1 I'm snap

Speaker 2 and I'm gramming. Guys, I don't snap and I don't gram.

Speaker 1 I don't gram on snap.

Speaker 2 I do lurk. I mean, I do lurk on the gram.
Okay, you do.

Speaker 1 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.
Wait, you guys don't know each other? No, I've never met you.

Speaker 1 No, we've never met.

Speaker 2 I'm so excited to meet you.

Speaker 1 Will, let's take a quick five and let them get acquainted. Yeah, so, so

Speaker 1 I have. I've been like, you've been on my list as well to be a guest on this show.

Speaker 2 Yes, I remember we were going to do the live one.

Speaker 1 Oh, is that what happened?

Speaker 2 Yeah, you were. You had asked me to do, you had asked me before these jackasses, and I didn't

Speaker 1 know you. We're going to write.

Speaker 1 I know you.

Speaker 1 I'm such a man.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 wait till John hears.

Speaker 1 Let me tell you something about Kraz. But Kraz is.

Speaker 1 He's tough to book.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 You're like, hey, man, I don't get 30 seconds and you got two weeks. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you guys are going to have to really duke this one out, I think.

Speaker 1 I know. God bless you.
So anyway,

Speaker 1 did you guys, do you guys know Emily really well? Because of John, right? Yeah. I mean, we're just going to be able to do that.
I mean, that's how we were.

Speaker 2 You guys were some of the first people that I ever met in Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 I think you guys were literally the first person.

Speaker 1 And then you immediately moved out of city.

Speaker 1 Was that...

Speaker 1 Would you have stayed with? with Brandon?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, me before Jason, obviously I introduced Jason to Krat. I feel like I'm at the center of like a weird axis.
Yeah. So how did you meet? You met John via whom?

Speaker 1 Amy? Will.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 And we met. Via some sort of office slash parks.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 John and I met at Mike Schur's wedding. Got it.
Okay, so Mike knew Amy from SNL. Okay.
of course. And I knew Mike, and we were at the wedding, and then John and I ended up dancing a lot together.

Speaker 1 And I know it sounds terrible, but we did.

Speaker 2 Wait, John danced?

Speaker 2 It was just unusual for John to dance at a wedding. You must have had some kind of danger.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Then these guys started dating, and we became friends. And immediately,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Well, I didn't have to meet her to fall in love with her, but now that I have

Speaker 1 But Emily, I want to know, like, what's the job? What's the because I would love to get to know you, and this is a perfect opportunity.

Speaker 1 What is like, what is the, what brought you over to America first? I'm obviously assuming you grew up in the UK.

Speaker 2 Do you mean the j what job?

Speaker 1 Yeah, either what did you did you used to visit or was it a job that brought you here?

Speaker 2 I mean, we, I, I know we went to Disney. Is it Disney World in Florida or Disney last year?

Speaker 1 Disney Disney World, yep.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 I remember some back in the day. Did you? And then

Speaker 2 what's that?

Speaker 1 You came over for pilot season? Yes, and I didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 How old were you?

Speaker 2 I was

Speaker 2 about 19, I think.

Speaker 1 Wow. And

Speaker 1 were you with mom and dad or are you just solo?

Speaker 2 No, I just, I was alone. Actually, I was with my ex-boyfriend.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And we stayed at the Beverly Hills Motor Hotel.

Speaker 1 Oh, boy. That means you just get to park in a spot there and they plug you into cable and

Speaker 1 stuff.

Speaker 2 But then there was that really cool diner downstairs. It was an amazing diner.
Yeah. I forgot what it was called.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 2 No, I have no memory because it was so terrifying. It's all such a blur that whole time.
So I don't remember.

Speaker 1 So after pilot season, you would just go back home to England?

Speaker 2 Then I would go back home to England. And then

Speaker 2 I did this little independent film in England called My Summer of Love. It was my first movie.
And then

Speaker 2 I did sort of, then I got an American agent, and then I came back out again, and I auditioned for Devil Where's Prada, you know, quite early on.

Speaker 1 Which I just watched again, like a week ago.

Speaker 2 And that was

Speaker 2 that was that was the thing that changed stuff.

Speaker 1 That did. So that was it.
Was that your second movie?

Speaker 1 It was my third movie oh my god yeah i mean just went ahead and crushed it i've watched that so many times yeah you've done like a you've done like a mini series and stuff you've done like a television uh a film made for television right and then you've done that film you uh my summer of love and then you did my devil wears prada and this was a film that had

Speaker 1 meryl streep yeah and and hathaway who was just kind of like coming out of the you know 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 did could you feel it like oh things are different

Speaker 2 yeah it was um i i did feel it was almost overnight things changed it was quite dramatic i remember i was in la and i was staying actually with um the producer of the devil was product i was staying in her guesthouse 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.

Speaker 2 And then after the weekend it came out, but people

Speaker 2 sort of knew who I was. And it's amazing.

Speaker 1 And the character's name was Emily. Was that changed or was that just a coincidence?

Speaker 2 That was just in the script. That was just in the script.
But she was written, and the audition for it was

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 There 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.

Speaker 2 And then they said that she, hey, you know, we got this other movie, and will you read for it quickly? And they just sort of handed me the pages.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And then I remember being back in London in a nightclub with my sister, and

Speaker 2 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 a,

Speaker 1 you know, and he was like, Emelitz, Diret Frankel. You know, it was so cool.

Speaker 1 And that you got the part. That's so cool.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Well, actually, actually, I had to go and audition again, but he said, I would cast you the studio like you, but because I looked like a mess in the audition before.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 1 Really, really? Yeah, you were dressed for the dragon thing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I read again.

Speaker 1 But isn't that

Speaker 1 funny that you're about to do, you read for that, and it feels like overnight. It comes out, and you say, you say it, it feels like overnight.

Speaker 1 And meanwhile, you want to be like, guys, I was here staying at the motor inn when I was 19. This is not, I've been fucking paying my goddamn dues.

Speaker 1 And then people are like,

Speaker 1 but even so, it was quick, right? I mean,

Speaker 1 the success.

Speaker 1 And you have, how can you, is it, 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?

Speaker 1 Don't attribute it to your member dad either, just to just to dissuade him from ever again putting words in your mouth.

Speaker 1 Blame it on your dog. Your dog's kept you humble.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 And your dad was a lawyer, right? Wasn't that right?

Speaker 2 Yeah, my dad defends criminals for a living still.

Speaker 2 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...

Speaker 2 preconceived idea that that it that it would be a sunny time. You know, I think I'd seen it be quite painful for my own mom.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 2 So maybe me going in with quite a casual attitude was good because I didn't expect anything. I don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know if it's also, we are, 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.

Speaker 2 So it's part of it is sort of cultural.

Speaker 2 And yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 That's interesting, yeah. Yeah, you do have, well, that's what I mean about you wear it so loosely, like, you know that you're you're just so sort of like a drapey terry short.

Speaker 2 Like a mu moo.

Speaker 1 Well, these aren't drapey. These are these are crazy.
Hold on, don't stand up again. Don't know, you can sit down.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Who makes those? Is that James Purce?

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 thank you for asking. It's Todd Snyder for champion.

Speaker 1 It makes Jason so crazy when I say a name. James Purse is way too quality and classy to make a terry short.
Oh, no. Oh, really?

Speaker 2 I have James Purce. I have James Peirce white Terry shorts.

Speaker 1 Facts. Oh,

Speaker 1 oh, gosh.

Speaker 1 Then I'll wear them. Because if James Peirce is making them, I'm wearing them.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, then you will be allowed to.

Speaker 1 Emily, that right there, Jason just betrayed a thing about him. I've long suspected it, but I haven't noticed due to very evasive measures, quote from Withdale.
Because

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I won't do it. No.
So he literally said to the guys from Radiohead Head. I won't even skip a step on a staircase.

Speaker 2 You do take risks with your work.

Speaker 1 He said to the guys from Radio Head, 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.

Speaker 1 I'm leaving this interview. I'm quitting this interview.

Speaker 1 Oh, guys. Look at this.

Speaker 2 You take big swings with your work, though. Come on.
We've got to have. He might not take a big swing with a Terry Short, but he takes big swings with what he does.
Yeah, there he does.

Speaker 1 Well, he's a very, he's a very talented guy.

Speaker 1 I am not a fashion-forward guy, but I am not risk-averse. I will tell you that.

Speaker 1 And now back to the show.

Speaker 1 Okay, I want to get to the, now you say big swings.

Speaker 1 So I want to talk about something that's a big swing and that we've talked to, 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.

Speaker 1 Here we go. The Edge of Tomorrow, the film you did with Tom Cruise.
You left us so many big names. Hang on, Check.
It's one of my favorite movies. It is such a

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And Tom Cruise is so good in that film as well.

Speaker 1 So brilliant. When does this one come out?

Speaker 1 Wait, Jason, I have heard that. No, I've heard that that's

Speaker 1 it. It is the film.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 again,

Speaker 1 you trained so super hard. Didn't you injure yourself a couple times?

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And it was my first foray into action. And as Tom said rather unreassuringly when we started, he goes, this is the deep end of action for me.

Speaker 2 And I was like, if you're saying that, like, we are in trouble. You know,

Speaker 1 what was the, what was the stunt? What was the.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And, 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.

Speaker 2 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 in front of tom and he didn't know what to do and he just stared at me it was like i know i know

Speaker 2 and i was like tom i 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 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 no, I love that for Tom.

Speaker 2 And I did laugh, and then we got through it, but the training was intense. Yeah, it was like twice a day we trained for it, but I got injured doing a stunt.

Speaker 2 Uh, we called it the beach, it was a sort of big, sort of beach set that we did the big battles on.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 So, it's just a kind of

Speaker 2 well, I think I it was my ribs and my collarbone which still are a bit dodge now

Speaker 1 thanks to sean hurt his fingers uh his pinky on a piano i can see yeah

Speaker 2 wait i do need to know because i heard a g because i heard

Speaker 1 reaching for a g a g flat

Speaker 1 by the way that's weird you say it because it happened i swear to god it happened on a g sharp

Speaker 1 did it really happen on a g sharp yeah it really did happen yeah poor baby are you really really wonderful at the piano?

Speaker 1 He's a trained concert pianist. Are you really? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, but terrible shock. 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.

Speaker 1 It's incredible. Gershwin.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 Okay, well,

Speaker 2 we need to be free.

Speaker 1 Sean's been trying to get a question for six minutes. Go ahead, Sean.
Better be good. Go ahead.
Because I've seen you champion at the bet. Better be fucking great.
Go ahead. It's terrible.

Speaker 1 Color, horoscope.

Speaker 1 You cut her off like three times to get this in. Go ahead.
Oh, my God. Look who's talking.
I know.

Speaker 1 Okay, so wait. I'm on fire.
On the screen, whenever I'm like going, because Scotty and I bought like six, 700 movies that are our favorite movies, right? And so when we scroll down.

Speaker 1 How depressed do you want me to be?

Speaker 1 So when we scroll down. Do you each have your own individual popcorn bowl or do you guys share it?

Speaker 1 Oh my God, we totally share. We do a popcorn bowl.
But okay, so

Speaker 1 on the like menu thing,

Speaker 1 it changes the

Speaker 1 poster for the Edge of Tomorrow changes, and they always put Live, Die, Repeat. And so do people think that that's the name of the movie?

Speaker 2 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, basically.

Speaker 1 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 because that's Live, Die, Repeat is really cool.

Speaker 2 But I don't know what, but then it got changed to Edge of Tomorrow, which I to be honest with you didn't like as much I thought it sound I didn't I didn't love it either it sounds like a soap opera yes whereas like lived I 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 so so did they end up calling it Edge of Tomorrow colon lived I repeat for real Yes,

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 are you fucking crazy blaming Trump?

Speaker 2 He really didn't. He was upset about it.

Speaker 1 Are you crazy blaming Tom Cruise? He will hear you. 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 thing.
I love his.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 movies.

Speaker 1 Is there going to be a sequel, Emily?

Speaker 2 I hope so.

Speaker 1 I hope so. I read that.
What's 10 years ago?

Speaker 2 But I mean, I would sort of want someone to do most of the stunts for me this time. Do you know that the suit was so heavy that a man was

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 So, Emily, when you were telling the story about reading for

Speaker 1 whatchamacallit?

Speaker 1 Devil was

Speaker 1 for it. That's it.

Speaker 1 You slipped into an American accent there telling the story

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 And then after you say, like, you know, Brooklyn or Bridge or whatever it is, like, okay, got it, got the sound.

Speaker 2 No. Is there a tricky?

Speaker 1 Because everybody's obsessed with Brits who can do an American accent.

Speaker 2 But do you think they all can do American accents? Or are you sometimes like, oh, that's terrible?

Speaker 1 Much better than Americans can do British accents. Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 But do you know Bridget Jones' diary was on the other day? Oh my God, Renee crushed it.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. She really

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 For sure. I mean, I think.

Speaker 1 They could be very, very different, my son. They could be very different.

Speaker 1 But just do the job, yeah?

Speaker 2 Just do the job. That's not bad, actually.
We have discussed this before. Do you remember when you and Justin Thoreau used to do the accent after me? Yes.

Speaker 2 And actually, yours was better than Justin Thoreau's. Thank you.
It's like much better.

Speaker 1 It's recorded now.

Speaker 1 All right, so

Speaker 1 is there a word, a little keyword that you use to just.

Speaker 2 I wouldn't say a key word, but there's certain words that are very difficult for English people to say.

Speaker 2 For example, the name Arthur.

Speaker 1 Can you say Arthur? Arthur. Arthur.

Speaker 2 No, but say it in your accent.

Speaker 1 Arthur. Arthur.
Arthur.

Speaker 2 Impossible. Arthur.
Arthur. Arthur.
That's good.

Speaker 2 No, I can never do it.

Speaker 1 How about this?

Speaker 1 I find that this one trips up people from the UK and Ireland. Arnold Palmer.

Speaker 2 Arnold Palmer.

Speaker 1 No, see?

Speaker 1 Arnold Palmer. It's a tough one.
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 Arnold.

Speaker 2 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 happening.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And they're like, okay, and we're ready for you to audition. Go ahead.
Yeah, my name's Chandler, and I'm reading I'm here and friends and yo. And they're like, good.
Nice to meet you.

Speaker 1 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, you know, doing

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, eventually, car company. But Jason,

Speaker 1 your mom is British. Didn't you pick that up? Your mom's British.
I did. Yeah, the anything I said for a long time, but that was about it.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Anything.
And you guys say anything, right? Anything.

Speaker 2 Anything.

Speaker 2 I'll say anything.

Speaker 2 My kids sound very American, though.

Speaker 1 Do they? Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 so you guys go into,

Speaker 1 decide to make this film together, a quiet place.

Speaker 1 And John directs it to enormous success. Critical, box office, you name it.

Speaker 1 What was that process like when you guys looked at each other and decided, like, yeah, we're going to do this, and I'm going to star in it, and you are directing it?

Speaker 1 Did you guys have, how were those conversations

Speaker 2 the marriage the harmony exactly i mean you sort of no baby did it start small yeah i mean john uh i remember john got sent it as like a treatment and to be in as an actor and then he pitched it to me and he just seemed to have unenthusiastically no actually really enthusiastically but just no i'm kidding

Speaker 2 yeah it's exactly because he's so enthusiastic um but it was like a he had such a vivid world already when he pitched it that I said, I think you should direct this film.

Speaker 2 And I pitched a friend of mine to play the part

Speaker 2 that I and 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.

Speaker 1 And I read this quiet place, there's no talking. It's two or three pages.

Speaker 1 No, that's longer than the stage directions.

Speaker 1 That's so true. Great dialogue.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 I'm about to completely mess my friend over, but would you ever want me to do it? And he was sort of thrilled.

Speaker 1 Did he tear up? He said yes.

Speaker 2 I mean, he did because he always tears up, you know, so ready.

Speaker 1 I know, it's the best.

Speaker 2 It's the best. 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.

Speaker 1 Like that. And do you remember that time we were walking?

Speaker 2 Astonishing. Next time, get him to do it if he ever comes on.
It's astonishing.

Speaker 2 It's like a gift.

Speaker 1 Like a soap opera, right? He just flips it twist. It's incredible.
Emily, do you remember that time we were walking back from dinner?

Speaker 1 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 remember that at all?

Speaker 1 You probably don't.

Speaker 1 Always, always remember that.

Speaker 1 We were like, John. I know.

Speaker 1 So, what was the conversation like about like, okay, understand.

Speaker 1 Well, did you guys know how you both are on sets such that you knew knew that it was going to be a good match?

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And like, I think we both found each other quite intense suddenly, you know, at work.

Speaker 1 Like, he was like,

Speaker 2 I was like, you're intense. And he's like, you're focused.

Speaker 1 And he was directing too. So, like,

Speaker 1 but I also had to behave a bit.

Speaker 2 I had to sort of behave a bit. You know, I don't feel I had to eat shit, but I, but I, but I did sort of uphold, I, I felt you were agreeable for a few days.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we had like one terrible whispered fight on set in a back room in the middle.

Speaker 1 Because it was a quiet place.

Speaker 2 One whispered argument, which all the crew heard.

Speaker 1 Like one of those, like,

Speaker 1 I can't tell you.

Speaker 1 Can you tell us what it was about?

Speaker 2 It was basically about, he had this, he had this glorious oneer that he wanted to do, revealing me sitting in a chair crying about our dead troops.

Speaker 1 But Tracy, that's a one-shot, no coverage. Camera still rolls all the way.
It's a one-shot,

Speaker 2 and so with those shots, they're quite technical. So you are often asked to do something again and again.

Speaker 2 And I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to,

Speaker 2 if he started with that wide one,

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 So I'd said, can you start with the closer coverage of this emotional stuff?

Speaker 2 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 a different accommodate some goddamn life.

Speaker 1 You can accommodate your wife and they're actuary notes.

Speaker 2 So I do remember just pulling him in the back room and being like, you told me that you would stop and water.

Speaker 1 How did it settle?

Speaker 2 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.
And I, because I also.

Speaker 1 So he just had a bottle between his legs driving you home? Exactly.

Speaker 2 Just a bottle.

Speaker 2 Why does it have to be between his legs? It sounds like weird.

Speaker 1 Bottles are usually too big for the cup holder.

Speaker 2 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 our marriage end in divorce, you know?

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 2 And he turned out to be so visual. Yes, and I was incredible.

Speaker 1 Incredible. It was.
Well, you know, Emily, I always say you have to fall in respect, not fall in love. Wow, man.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 you say that. Oh, watch.

Speaker 1 You said this. It's on the small of your back.
Say that. It's the day you read that off the bathroom wall.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 and I joke about his enthusiasm. His enthusiasm is beyond infectious.

Speaker 1 We should have him on the show we i know hang on let's stop talking but but i will say i'd love for you to just pan your camera over emily and he's just and he's just hate

Speaker 1 off camera since he's been staring at the do you think this riddled with loathing for all of you i had one other question about that because when you're when you're on 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 you know you're focused on your work is that what happened when you were shooting scenes where like you would completely be in the scene and in your head as the character and forget almost that your husband was directing.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Did you see him as a, did you switch off and on in your brain and see him as a director and then cut that husband?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I honestly saw him as my husband again once we were in the car driving home.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 So he's very freeing, and he's an actor, so he knows to give you space and he knows not to come in.

Speaker 1 Sean, you go through, you were saying that you go, you wish Scotty, you see him sometimes as your husband and not just as a sloppy Joe delivery service. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I love the role play.

Speaker 1 But I love him at both. He goes outside, he hits a doorbell.

Speaker 1 Sean makes him wait.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, oh, thank you for the delivery, sir.

Speaker 1 Boy, is that sloppy? Look at that. Let me clean this up.

Speaker 1 You know, there's two in here. Would you like to join me?

Speaker 1 Do you think John would be as good an actor for you if you were directing him?

Speaker 2 What a brilliant question. I think I would be so scared to direct him.
I would not want to.

Speaker 1 Because he would just be pushing back like, what, really? You want me to what?

Speaker 2 Well, I think because he would... I feel deep down, he would visually have a much better idea for how it should be done.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 But he would second-guess you on your coverage strategy.

Speaker 2 Of course. Of course, I feel like I would be completely, completely second-guessed at every turn.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So you do that film with John, incredible success.
You'd also done, I think before, worked with our other good friend Justin Thoreau, whom we mentioned before. Old sleeve brother.

Speaker 1 An

Speaker 1 inferior accent to mine in virtually every accent.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's way worse.

Speaker 1 but what he lacks in in you know sort of accent uh ability he makes up for in sleevelessness do you

Speaker 1 when you did uh um girl on the train you talked about not being able to access that i felt like that was such a deeply emotional performance that you gave that was very very small that was very

Speaker 1 and you know of course there was all this stuff that behind it that you find out that sort of you as we peel back we find out about this character was that a was that a difficult

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but so forget your actual process. Was it a difficult,

Speaker 1 was it a difficult process of making that film because it was so that was a very difficult shoot.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Damn it, I love that.

Speaker 2 The experience was sort of wonderful.

Speaker 2 I think there was something about just the depth of despair that that character and girl on the train goes to and dealing with addiction and everything and me having to, n not having dealt with addiction, you know, I had to dive quite deep into a world that was...

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 So I just remember that being a hard shoot, mainly because of Justin's fashion sense, but he has got incredible arms.

Speaker 1 And we will be right back.

Speaker 1 Today's episode is sponsored by Ashley. They don't just sell incredible furniture, they're also making an impact in vulnerable communities.
Here's a tough fact.

Speaker 1 Over 7 million kids are affected by the welfare system and over 368,000 are currently in foster care.

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 of looked like a living room made it really comfortable made our guest john mayer really comfortable 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 i was sitting back on that nice ashley couch and i was just hanging out with my buds in my living room anyway ashley offers timeless well-crafted furniture with white glove delivery right to your door visit your local ashley store or head to Ashley.com to find your style.

Speaker 1 And now back to the show.

Speaker 1 How about that mothering thing? I mean,

Speaker 1 you're constantly working. It's so great.
And your kids are fantastic. And your marriage is fantastic.

Speaker 1 It seems so difficult to keep it all healthy and harmonious. And there's probably no secret to that either, right?

Speaker 2 it's just well i just don't know i don't know if um

Speaker 2 if i ever get it right i don't know if the juggle is ever um sufficient on either side i guess none of us will know until the kids are you know 25.

Speaker 2 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 if men or dads get asked that as much it is weird it is like that that that sort of tradition where like, well, it's just assume the guy's going to be away at work all day while the rest of the people

Speaker 1 are taking care of it. Like, it is, it is so antiquated a thing.

Speaker 2 Like, I don't think John's ever been asked that question, you know? And

Speaker 2 I was just, 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? Right. And I just want to be like, where are your kids?

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like,

Speaker 1 it's so strange. Isn't that the worst thing when you're talking about it? Yeah, like, you should be with them 24.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and people ask,

Speaker 1 Jason, have you gotten that before too?

Speaker 1 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 you're, what the deal is, like what they go.

Speaker 1 So their way they do it is they dress it up with, where are you going?

Speaker 2 Yeah, and it's with that sort of smile.

Speaker 1 Just so they, you mean, well, just so they could dig a little bit and find out what's going on.

Speaker 1 People do it all the time, well, because they want to know,

Speaker 1 by the way, so even if you're a working mom, they want to be, there's a little bit of shame shame in there, like, so you're doing this, you're making your movie.

Speaker 1 Who's looking after your kids? I'm concerned about your kids. It's like, fuck off, I got it from here.
Yes,

Speaker 2 it truly, it's exactly right.

Speaker 2 Yeah, 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.

Speaker 1 Right, like

Speaker 2 that you're choosing having a wail of a time over being with your kids, you know, exactly right there, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 And 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

Speaker 1 they they have an added layer of like what's the deal so

Speaker 1 how involved are you yeah how involved are you what do you mean what do you mean how fucking involved they're my kids and like also like oh let me break down for you how it goes and what nights and who stays where you are

Speaker 1 and why do they care why do they care you know why usually it's a projection uh because they're deeply... If you're happy, if you were happy in your own situation, you wouldn't have the time to

Speaker 1 care. That's trust.
Exactly.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 I love that. I really love matching it.
I love the best.

Speaker 1 Thank you. He's talking about adopting me.
Oh, gosh.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 2 I mean, I really love baking with them. We love baking with them.
Really?

Speaker 1 Me too. I just got into it.

Speaker 2 And I love taking them out to parks. I love a park.
I love a swing.

Speaker 1 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 over the grass and just sits down cross-legged?

Speaker 2 No, I feel like I'm usually ill-prepared with the sheet, you know, with the picnic blanket.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just, when's the last time you guys sat crisscross applesauce? Like, you can't do that anymore after like 12.

Speaker 2 It's just the hitch. I just want to hear the saddest story.
This is a very sad story, and it's to the point of crisscross applesauce.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 He was incredible. He was in the park on the weekend.
He was sitting crisscross applesauce. He saw a friend, jumped up, snapped both his ankles because his legs went asleep.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 2 was cut from the film.

Speaker 1 I mean, because his legs fell asleep.

Speaker 2 His 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.

Speaker 1 I've just always seen that sort of tableau of people sitting on a blanket and a park.

Speaker 1 And I just feel, there's no way anybody there is comfortable.

Speaker 2 It's just nobody. Nobody.

Speaker 1 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 a blanket.

Speaker 2 Oh god, I don't like the way you said that.

Speaker 1 We smoke more grass.

Speaker 1 We smoke a little grass and you know we just talk to people kind of wander by and we talk to people and they're just

Speaker 2 you should try that in your Canadian accent.

Speaker 1 It would be even more smoking weed A out there.

Speaker 1 It is the last thing anybody in Los Angeles ever does. And I get that people in New York do it a lot because there's not no one's got a front yard, backyard, or anything because it's so small, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. It's true.

Speaker 1 Emily, I want to go back to

Speaker 1 Nutsky.

Speaker 1 You want to talk more about the grass?

Speaker 1 I didn't want to do a little more park blanket time.

Speaker 1 But 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

Speaker 1 almost, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but almost like a hobby. You're like, yeah, I did.
Sexy. Sure, I'll pursue it.
It's fine. And

Speaker 1 what Jason calls sexy and deficiency. That's a difference.
And which is part of the reason. So as you now have become more successful and worked a lot more

Speaker 1 and shown that you are this huge talent. I'll put my 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.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Let me just say it.

Speaker 1 When is enough, enough.

Speaker 2 You want to know my ardent passion for it, which I absolutely have fallen madly in love with it. But it was a slow.
Okay, good, because I was going to say,

Speaker 1 if it did go away, how would you feel? Not that I hope it never goes away. Destroy.
Drugs. Okay, good.
Good. I was just curious because it was.

Speaker 2 It would be girl on the train, girl on the train every day.

Speaker 1 Oh, no. Okay, good.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 I would truly be.

Speaker 2 desperately sad because I love it deeply. I deeply, deeply love it.
But it was a slow burn falling in love with it.

Speaker 1 So you developed the love as it went on, yeah, for sure. Oh, God.

Speaker 1 I i understand of course yeah 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 uh a play like uh sean here on broadway set i would love to i would really love to i sean are you going to be singing in your no not this one no god no never again um that 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 i would love 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 my 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

Speaker 1 it's not you have no idea did you throw your dim sum at him

Speaker 1 some of my dim sum

Speaker 1 no it's it's it's like an I mean people can can joke all they want, but it is like it's like being an athlete. You have to like

Speaker 1 wake up, eat the right food, make sure you sleep, exercise,

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 what do you find the hardest part? Is it eat the right food?

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably. Because I reward myself at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 The sloppy Joe's.

Speaker 1 I ate like shit yesterday. My God, Sean, you would have been so proud of me.

Speaker 2 What did you eat?

Speaker 1 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 would you? Good for you.

Speaker 2 I thought you were going to say something really boring, like broth. And I was like, oh, come on.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 Like a bad after-school special?

Speaker 1 Little Willie's got a problem.

Speaker 1 You know what? I did think of Jason. This is how fucked up, how much he has fucking

Speaker 1 included. Yeah.

Speaker 1 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,

Speaker 1 you'd be 750 fucking pounds if I wasn't in your life.

Speaker 1 And me the same. I think about you all the time too, right? When I'm about to have something real salty.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you eat well, Emily? You eat well. You like to eat well or are you like, I wish I was eating like shit, like ranch.

Speaker 2 I have like bouts of eating really well and then bouts of eating badly. It's sort of like full.

Speaker 1 Well, the baking, though, I mean, that can get away from you. You got to watch out for that.

Speaker 2 That can get starchy quick.

Speaker 1 Sean just taught himself how to make a cheesecake two weeks ago. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, my god. He had a spare winter.

Speaker 1 Have we talked about it yet on the show? No, we sure haven't. Sean, Sean, on Sunday night, we were at our friends for dinner and he goes, and they're like, Sean made dessert.

Speaker 1 And they brought out this fucking cheesecake that he had made

Speaker 1 with an unbelievable graham cracker crust or whatever. He was trying to figure out how to fill a week.
So he decided to teach himself how to make a cheesecake.

Speaker 1 It was so

Speaker 2 was it like a classic cheesecake or was it a classic check?

Speaker 1 It was classic.

Speaker 1 It takes about nine hours to make it because you have to, to. Do you know what a water bath is? I'm sorry, a water bath.
Yeah. A water bath, yeah.
A water bath.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so you had to make the water bath and put the tinfoil in the spring form pan, and then you got to make it. Oh, my God.
And then you have to make the top of the sour cream layer.

Speaker 1 It's a lot of work. It was delicious.

Speaker 2 Did you do a double-baked cheese?

Speaker 1 It was really nice.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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, he was coming over for dinner.

Speaker 1 What would you bake with the kids?

Speaker 1 What would it be?

Speaker 1 Is it a dinner or sweets?

Speaker 2 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

Speaker 1 roast chicken. Yeah.
I'll be over. Am I remembering? Is John a good cook? Am I remembering that right? No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 No, he's very good at scrambled eggs, and that's about it. Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 What about, Emma, if you're at home and you're in Brooklyn and you're going to, you guys are going to order in takeout. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you're like, fuck it,

Speaker 1 I'm going to live a little tonight. What is the thing? What's the thing?

Speaker 2 We had Thai food last night. A Pad C U.
Just a Pad Cook.

Speaker 1 I love a Pad C U. I love a drunken noodle.
I love a drunken noodle. Are you fucking shooting me? Oh.

Speaker 2 So good.

Speaker 2 So good. There's just so much starch and just so much starch.

Speaker 1 That was Jason's nickname in 1998. Drunken noodle.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oh, drunken noodle.
Because

Speaker 1 it described his state of mind and also his state of play.

Speaker 1 Prowess.

Speaker 1 You know what I had for breakfast yesterday, guys?

Speaker 1 Please let us guess, please. Fruit loops.
No bagels. No.
Pop rock. Sugar smacks.
No. Pop rock.

Speaker 1 I'm not kidding. Dipping sticks and maple syrup.
I love dipping sticks.

Speaker 1 Let me fucking guess. I thought you said that we could guess.

Speaker 1 A tub of Cool Whip.

Speaker 1 No, I had a bowl of chili with cornbread. Ooh.

Speaker 2 That's a tough way to start the day.

Speaker 1 How often do you redo the plumbing at the house?

Speaker 1 Are you a galvanized steel yet?

Speaker 1 Have you gotten a cease and desist from the powered water?

Speaker 1 We have PVC pipe.

Speaker 1 Do you have your plumber and his snake equipment on retainer?

Speaker 1 His snake equipment.

Speaker 1 Emily, I apologize for today

Speaker 1 and the last 59 minutes. Okay.

Speaker 1 Sean and Scotty 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 then go straight into the main line.

Speaker 1 Throw a bunch of hay down there and get you right into the main line. Fuck it.

Speaker 1 Fuck it. We'll do it live.

Speaker 1 Tap into the city.

Speaker 1 Emily Blunt, listen to me.

Speaker 1 I've been such a fan for so long. It's such a pleasure meeting you.

Speaker 1 You too.

Speaker 1 I just think, well, first of all, I would love to see you in New York. I know.
Easy, easy.

Speaker 2 Please, I would love.

Speaker 1 Let's do like lunch or something.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Like, this is terrible. I know.

Speaker 1 It's a great point.

Speaker 1 Well, at the very latest, we're all going to get together and go see Sean's play called Good Night Oscar playing at

Speaker 1 some theater in

Speaker 1 New York. It's in New York.
It's in the spring. At the Belarus.

Speaker 2 It's in the spring, so we've got time for this pinky injury.

Speaker 1 Yes, that's why I'm going to be able to get to my house.

Speaker 1 There'll be something else. Believe me, reaching for the fruit loops.
Reaching for the fruit loops is no guarantee of staying healthy.

Speaker 1 I'm so sure Will knows me, but I'm going to lacerate his hand with a spoon. There'll be something else.

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 2 during the holidays? So, do you know what?

Speaker 2 We're not. We're about to go to Sydney, Australia for 12 weeks and doing a movie out there.

Speaker 1 Nari.

Speaker 2 Did one of you say Nari?

Speaker 1 Nari.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I'm the

Speaker 1 voice of Australia. Did you die that?

Speaker 1 Don't. I am.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God, that's brilliant.

Speaker 1 I'm the spokesperson for Tourism Australia, not a joke. Are you really? I didn't know that.
What did you get there?

Speaker 2 You don't do the accent, do you?

Speaker 1 No, it's no, it's me and Roseburn, and it just came out, and it's about bringing, telling people to go back to the business. That's great.
Where to go?

Speaker 1 Stop it. Yeah, it's funny.
Anyway.

Speaker 2 All right, well, it's working.

Speaker 1 I'm going to miss you guys. Oh, that sucks.

Speaker 2 I know, that sucks.

Speaker 1 You're going to miss Christmas, too, Emily. You know, they celebrate Christmas in the summer.

Speaker 2 We're going to... No, no, no.
We're going to have a hot Christmas. We're going to have a pool park.

Speaker 1 Literally, I'm hoping Jason does that to me every time. And I was like, really?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was waiting for you to go, hang on, what?

Speaker 1 What? Stupid Sean.

Speaker 2 No, we're going to have a hot Christmas. I'm so excited.

Speaker 1 Dang it. Wait, really quick.
Tell me what the movie is and tell me, like, who's in it directing it? Are you excited? What's going on?

Speaker 2 Very excited. Brian Gosling is in it, and David Leach is directing it.
It's called The Fall Guy based on that.

Speaker 2 Don't you love Leach's name?

Speaker 1 Wait, The Fall Guy based on the TV show?

Speaker 2 Based on that TV series. Do you remember that TV series? Yes, of course.

Speaker 1 I still like that. That's cool.

Speaker 2 So Ryan is playing The Fall Guy. He's playing The Stunk Guy.
And it's this bonkers, mad, incredible action adventure.

Speaker 1 It's very funny. That sounds so fantastic.
And it'll be so fun. Good for you.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 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

Speaker 1 something else.

Speaker 2 Love you guys so much.

Speaker 1 Love you too. Love to John and the kids.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Bye.

Speaker 1 Have a great time. time bye

Speaker 1 man

Speaker 1 there's uh anyways anyways i know john but uh it was

Speaker 1 you would you would love her sean it was b e before emily i am uh i'm i am i am i do i think we 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 now we've just based now

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 I got to get him. I got to get him.
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 things.

Speaker 1 I'm serious. Can we really seriously? Jason, you're going to be blown away by how good.
And I think, was that the same director,

Speaker 1 Joe Kaczynski, I want to say, who did

Speaker 1 Top Gun, I want to say?

Speaker 1 Or Doug lyman doug lyman was edge of tomorrow i think that's right i think it was doug lyman i'll look it up right now yeah it was doug lyman um the tom cruise did another great film with uh jokacinsky though i think anyway doug lyman also did the first born movie he's done a lot of like very quietly did a bunch of big yeah 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 i know but uh it it is one of the more underrated movies of the last 30 years for sure

Speaker 1 and tom's Tom's actually funny in it. It's like a comic

Speaker 1 is so good. It's really well made.
I'm on it. But I love the Emily Homini.
But that Emily, what a, what a.

Speaker 1 She really is the real life Mary Poppins. No, she's something else, man.
Yeah, and she's just a great friend.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I meant it when I, we should have gone further on that answer about

Speaker 1 how, what's the secret sauce to her being so goddamn affable and personable and genuine. It is what you always say.
It's the sexy indifference. Well, but yeah.

Speaker 1 But for her, but it's not put on. She doesn't do it.
She's

Speaker 1 very comfortable. She's confident.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 And I feel like that's just the way she wants to be

Speaker 1 and would be like that with or without fame and success.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 He's like a puppy. I always describe him as like a puppy.
Well, because they... They fell in respect.
They didn't fall in love. They fell in respect.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 1 What's it called? The fall

Speaker 1 guy,

Speaker 1 anybody?

Speaker 1 You can't say God. And by the way, why do you go? Yeah, but it's Guy's Not Buy.
But why do you always go up? Why are you yelling?

Speaker 1 And why does it always go up? It's such energy.

Speaker 1 And then you repeat it and you repeat it. Like, well, how did that become

Speaker 1 what it is?

Speaker 1 Because,

Speaker 1 like you make a you know what, you know what? I've decided that for all these. I mean, first of all, stop pumping the air.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah,
