Speaker 1 Hey, everybody, you're listening to Smartlist, hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and myself, Sean Hayes. I know, I wish my voice was more masculine, too.

Speaker 1 This show is about learning through laughter in the brains of people around the world who are far smarter than us three idiots.

Speaker 1 And each week, one of us brings on a guest who the other two don't know about. So, with that, let's jump into the Smartless rocket ship and let's blast off into the universe together.

Speaker 1 Ooh, I think I just turned myself on. Smartless.

Speaker 1 Smart.

Speaker 1 Smart,

Speaker 1 less.

Speaker 1 Do you guys still game? Like, are you gamers? Yeah. Uh-uh.

Speaker 2 You aren't? Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 Because, Will, you try to get me gaming like 75 years ago, and I played one round with you such a long time many, many years ago. And I was like, I'm out.
I can't figure it out.

Speaker 1 But Scotty is obsessed with Mario Kart, like on his phone.

Speaker 2 Wisconsin listener, that is Sean's husband.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so that's husband, Scotty.

Speaker 1 Right, okay. So listen, I recorded him.
This is just like a half hour ago, getting really upset at the Mario Kart.

Speaker 1 What are you supposed to do in the game? I said

Speaker 2 that all I'm supposed to do is to hit these big, huge, giant mushrooms while I'm driving on the course, and I keep missing all of them.

Speaker 1 How does that make you feel?

Speaker 2 Pretty upset, because I'm better than that.

Speaker 2 Wow. And here's the disturbing part is that he didn't know you were recording him.

Speaker 1 So that's the real, that's your real world that you're living in.

Speaker 2 That kind of hostility.

Speaker 1 And I love how curt he got with, I said that.

Speaker 2 Yeah. You're dealing with a real short fuse and a guy who doesn't like employment, clearly, right?

Speaker 1 This middle of the day.

Speaker 1 He was working all day, actually. Oh, no, but he was.
I was just tickled about how upset he gets at this little children's game. Sean and I went on a trip to Istanbul.
We've been on a couple vacays.

Speaker 1 Jason, I remember you got real hurt about it before. That's why I'm bringing it up again.

Speaker 1 But the point is, the whole way there and back, and that from LA to Istanbul is like a 13-hour flight or something. Sean played Candy Crush both ways.
Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 1 And I slept the whole way. I woke up right before we were landing and stuff, and Sean was just up.
So we did the things we're both good at. I'm good at strategy, and you're good at sleeping.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 So, first of all, do you guys get...

Speaker 2 Are you more relaxed when you are hosting the guest or are you more relaxed when you're in the blind, like you two guys are today? Because today's my guest.

Speaker 1 In the blind, much more relaxed.

Speaker 2 You don't get anxiety that, like, what if the person that is the guest is somebody that either you're not interested in or you know nothing about and you don't know what to ask?

Speaker 2 Which gives you more stress?

Speaker 1 I think it's kind of exciting. It's exciting.
I like that. Both are exciting.
I like meeting people that we all know.

Speaker 2 Uh-huh. So you're excited right now, is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 Put it this way. I'm so excited that I'm not willing to stand up.

Speaker 2 Oh, Oh, well,

Speaker 2 temper that. Temper that because

Speaker 2 this is not one of our more attractive guests.

Speaker 2 It's a good thing that a listener can't see this person.

Speaker 2 They're certainly not known for their looks

Speaker 2 or their talent or kindness.

Speaker 2 But if you were a fan of,

Speaker 2 let's say, projects like Mac and Me,

Speaker 1 or

Speaker 2 if you're a kitschy horror fan you loved her in Leprechaun ladies and gentlemen by the way I am a fan of leprechaun well then you should be just tickled stay seated Sean don't stand up and show her no way ladies and gentlemen Jennifer Aniston

Speaker 1 no

Speaker 1 wow

Speaker 1 you know what first of all let me just say Jen you're gorgeous Jason even in jest don't ever say that about a lady she's gorgeous you're terrific Jen So I take. God bless you.

Speaker 1 Please, Jason, how dare you. Poor Jen.
She dare you.

Speaker 2 She's tough to look at. Can you turn your camera off, please?

Speaker 1 Yes, hold on.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 3 Let me do that.

Speaker 2 One of the more.

Speaker 2 Are you still... How many years were you one of the most beautiful people in the world? You must leave.

Speaker 1 I did 10 years.

Speaker 1 I want to know what you're eating. What is that right there?

Speaker 3 It's Jason Bateman's favorite.

Speaker 1 It's a chicken. Chop the chopped salad.
Oh, God. Oh, that's so nice.

Speaker 3 It might have some feta cheese in there.

Speaker 2 You got the chicken in that?

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And the Aniston dressing?

Speaker 1 Yeah. God, it's so good.
Got it all, babe. By the way, every time I've been to your house, you're eating a chopped salad.
I know. Every single time.

Speaker 3 Every time eating a chopped salad.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 There's always a chopped salad ready in case you want to. I've had it many times.

Speaker 1 Here's one of the things, and I brought this up the other day, that Jason loves to, as we know, he loves to eat almonds and he's always like picking at nuts and whatever and whatever Amanda lets him eat.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just like little berries off the ground and stuff.

Speaker 1 But when he comes to your house, he loves loves eating your jars of candy because for some reason, he feels like he didn't buy it, so it doesn't count. Right.

Speaker 1 So he stands next to the MMs and he hammers them. And I'm like, what are you doing, dude?

Speaker 2 I just get so excited that there's jars.

Speaker 3 I don't know if I've ever seen you hammer the MMs like that.

Speaker 2 I'm sneaky with it.

Speaker 1 The kid who escaped from fat camp. He's just there.

Speaker 2 I follow my daughters in there and we just take down a whole bunch of it.

Speaker 3 You know, the word for his kids, they believe, I think all of your kids, actually, I don't know if

Speaker 3 your kids have ever bought it, but that there's a camera looking at the candy jars so that they are terrified to actually steal candy without their mother or father knowing that's smart and it works and Maple's the only believer actually yeah by the way like the Bateman girls are afraid of Jason I mean let's be honest right

Speaker 2 I do enjoy playing good cop

Speaker 2 well actually I think Amanda and I are pretty good at switching off back and forth between good cop bad cop I I would ask that to the group what what would you say about that

Speaker 1 what about you and Amanda?

Speaker 2 No, about like, do I come across, and Jen, this is your interview. We're going to get to you in a second.
Well, I want you to tell me.

Speaker 3 I'm trying to pull up my script for Mac and me just to see.

Speaker 1 Yeah, oh, God. There's a little rating from it.

Speaker 2 That was your first film, right?

Speaker 1 Please.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 2 1987. It does.

Speaker 3 Listen, I. I sat on a blanket in the background.

Speaker 3 Is that in my Wikipedia page?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I am the worst interviewer in the world. It's all Wikipedia for me.
They're just conversation starters, Ken.

Speaker 2 But wait, but let's wrap me up for one second.

Speaker 1 Sure, of course. We'd love to.

Speaker 3 I'd wrap you up in a tiny bow.

Speaker 1 Do I strike

Speaker 1 about 10 years ago, Bates?

Speaker 2 Do I strike you as a disciplinarian or permissive?

Speaker 1 I would like to answer that. I think Amanda, because she's a strong, incredibly wonderful woman, I just assume she's the enforcer, you're the enabler.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 Because you're very sweet. I worry about Amanda.

Speaker 1 I sometimes feel like what's going to end up taking her life life is she's going to one time just roll her eyes into the back of her head, and they're never going to come back.

Speaker 1 It's going to be an eye-rolling incident, and that's what's going to finally take her.

Speaker 1 All right, all right.

Speaker 2 Guys, we have Jennifer Aniston. Come on now.
Let's tighten it up.

Speaker 1 All right. Listen, now, let me tell you what Wikipedia has yielded here.
Hold on, hold on.

Speaker 3 Go ahead. Well, congratulations on your baby, Willie.

Speaker 1 Thanks, Jen. Thanks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's doing great.
That's amazing. I congratulated him on that emotion.
Sean, you haven't done anything. Okay.

Speaker 3 Hi, Sean. Hi, honey.

Speaker 1 How are you? Good.

Speaker 3 How you doing?

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to pretend like, I'm trying to pretend I'm the listener and I don't know you. Like, what would I ask you if we, right? I know.

Speaker 1 And so when I'm over your house, it's so warm and friendly and it feels like

Speaker 1 home. And that sounds really cheesy to say it, but it feels like.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this is, it's so easy. You're there.
Yeah, absolutely. I could totally live there.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So I want to know, like, when you have gatherings like that,

Speaker 1 is that fulfill something in you that you like, because you don't have kids. I don't have kids.
It's like, because I do that too sometimes.

Speaker 3 I love to entertain.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 And I love to light fires

Speaker 3 whilst entertaining.

Speaker 2 You're being very modest.

Speaker 1 And Sean is making a point, which Jason will concur with because he spends even more time there with you, but I've spent a lot of time at your house as well.

Speaker 1 You're very warm and you do love to entertain. You love having people over.
And you're very maternal. You're like instinctually maternal.

Speaker 1 And your friends are like family, and you have a lot of parties around a lot of holidays, and you get a lot of people together. And I agree with Sean.
It's always a really good feeling being there.

Speaker 1 You always feel very welcome. There are a lot of laughs.
Everything's about laughing and having a good time.

Speaker 1 And I've never left there being like, fuck those guys. Like, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 It's always been

Speaker 1 about Jason. Bateman

Speaker 1 about Jason for sure because he always leaves early before Amanda. I like to clear out.

Speaker 3 You do like to clear out.

Speaker 1 Can we just bust you on that? Can we blow up your spot? Jason likes to leave places about 90 minutes earlier than his wife.

Speaker 2 Well, that's we take two cars to Jens often. Often we take two cars.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because unless you're on vacation with him, then he can't leave you.

Speaker 3 Then we're just stuck with him. No, but you pull some good late nights when we're, I mean, late night, what, midnight?

Speaker 1 11 or something like that. That's a pretty late night.

Speaker 1 but it is true jen you have so many friends and um just so many and you have so many good friends you don't have just a lot of like sort of haphazard friends you have you have really close relationships with people a lot of one-on-one relationships you're good to a lot of people you're very sweet and it's a testament to to somebody about how the quality of their friends and that you have really great friends Would you guys agree?

Speaker 1 Yes, I would agree. I would even agree.
And I don't mean that. I'm not complimenting myself.
I mean, I am. Well, you are.

Speaker 3 I think this is really a plug for Will and being a great friend and being a really good guy.

Speaker 1 Welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 2 Jen, did you grow up in a house that had a lot of entertaining going on? And was it always sort of nurturing and kind of like a fun, warm place to have a bunch of friends over?

Speaker 2 Or is that something that is wholly yours and came as a result of a particular period in your life?

Speaker 3 There was a period of time.

Speaker 3 where my parents, when we'd moved to New York City and my dad was on a soap opera, after we'd kind of been struggling for a while, you know, we were, we were, my dad didn't really hit it the way he wanted to.

Speaker 3 So then we moved to Greece and then we, he was trying to go to medical school there.

Speaker 1 How long did you live in Greece?

Speaker 3 I lived in Greece for a year.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 3 Lived in Athens for six months and then Crete for six months. Wow.

Speaker 1 Wow. And then I didn't know that.

Speaker 3 Wow. Really? It's not on my wiki page?

Speaker 1 No. Maybe it's on the

Speaker 1 Dancing on Checker's Grave is. There it it is.
Page six. There it is.
There it is. Greece.
Oh, look at you.

Speaker 2 Oh, I didn't know you fish.

Speaker 2 It's a great picture of you pulling up a lobster trap.

Speaker 3 No. No, look for the sheep.
Look for me.

Speaker 3 There should be one of me milking a sheep.

Speaker 2 Oh, wait. I love that your dad said, fuck it to the acting business.
We're going to Greece and I'm becoming a doctor.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Isn't that crazy? Those crazy Greeks. Well, that didn't happen.
So then he

Speaker 1 go back to New York.

Speaker 3 He moves us to New York. So we'd start out in California.

Speaker 3 Born, born here, Sherman Oaks, Stern Avenue, right around the corner from Casabega.

Speaker 1 Remember, we talked about that. I love that.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then

Speaker 3 moved, and then we went to Greece. And then he got a job on a soap opera, Love of Life.
And the rest was the beginning of history.

Speaker 1 Yeah. How long was he on that soap opera for?

Speaker 3 He was on that soap, I want to say for maybe five years. And Christopher Reeves played his son on that show.
So they would have poker parties. They would have poker nights.
And

Speaker 3 there was always that sound of laughter. And

Speaker 3 they'd put me to bed.

Speaker 3 And I would kind of always crawl, you know, out of the bedroom, down the hall to just sort of peek around the corner and just watch all these people being fabulous and hearing like ices and you know clanking and glasses and laughing and laha.

Speaker 1 I grew up very similarly.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So that that sort of, I guess I kind of thought, and then it all crumbled

Speaker 1 and the family broke apart.

Speaker 1 So so yes, I'm still trying to recreate those happy moments in my life. Is this the point of this whole thing? Is you're trying to recognize that.
You thank when you had a happy day.

Speaker 1 Thankfully, you had one day.

Speaker 2 So, the seed was planted that adults entertain.

Speaker 1 I like that. All right.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 It was nice. They have fun.
They were having a good time.

Speaker 2 One of the other things that interested me here, I'm going to skip right over Friends, and I'm going to go to the four-year hiatus that followed Friends and preceded your return to film work in 96.

Speaker 2 So I have this right.

Speaker 1 Oh, you're a film. Are you a film actress?

Speaker 1 She sure is.

Speaker 2 What did you do? It says here that there was a four-year gap after Friends and before you started film work. Is that right? And if so?

Speaker 1 Absolutely not. No? That is incorrect.

Speaker 3 Jason, who wrote this thing?

Speaker 3 Well, did you write this thing?

Speaker 2 Last name's Wikipedia. I do not know his first name.

Speaker 3 Mysterpedia needs some wiki.

Speaker 1 All right. Here's my favorite part about this.

Speaker 1 Before you answer, Jen, I just want to cut off because I want you to know that listener in Wisconsin, that right after this, Jen's going to go and say to Amanda, like, Jason, asked me this stupid question.

Speaker 1 And he didn't even, and he asked me if I took a four-year gap, right? Which you should. You were well within your right.
And then Amanda's going to go, Jason, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 You asked her, you said this shit, a four-year gap, and Jason is going to get,

Speaker 1 and you deserve to be swapped.

Speaker 2 I wanted to know, what is it on purpose? You want to like go back to Greece for four years or something?

Speaker 3 This now goes back to the podcast that I love so much where you talked about all the mirrors being put up

Speaker 3 and the amount of time it took mason to ask the question well see that's why we call it smartlist i'm not a smart guy i'm not a great interviewer that's not true i'm not i'm wicked well right now you're really you're this is we're pushing it right now but but i've been by the way huge fan of this podcast can i just say that come on

Speaker 1 well you're a fan of yours well this is not about me right now it is actually this is about you and how good of an interviewer all of you are.

Speaker 3 And I've enjoyed it thoroughly. Now, I took, let me explain to you, because you were in my first movie that preceded Friends, which was called Leprechaun? The Breakup.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 The breakup was the first film after Friends?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 All right. Once Friends completed, we rolled right into

Speaker 1 Chicago.

Speaker 3 Remember? And you were in that film.

Speaker 2 I do remember being in that film. I loved that film.
That was a great film.

Speaker 1 So you made all of those movies while you were on Friends? All those other movies? Like, I don't know. Leprechaun and McAmey? Okay,

Speaker 3 let's stop talking about those two movies, okay?

Speaker 1 Those were like Bruce Almighty and all those other things.

Speaker 3 Yes, that was during Friends.

Speaker 1 Wow. So, wow, you just never took a break.

Speaker 3 I didn't. And I liked it.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I really enjoy working. What about now?

Speaker 3 Well, I've been on this weird, you know, guys. I haven't really left the house lately.
I don't know about you guys.

Speaker 1 What happened?

Speaker 3 I have not been working lately. It's very strange.

Speaker 1 Wait a minute. Because of the pandemic and because of the downtime, did you, is that

Speaker 1 a thing that you enjoy being forced upon you, the break? Or are you like going crazy and you'd rather work?

Speaker 3 I

Speaker 3 really leaned into the break, I have to say. I kind of, if someone says, no, you actually cannot go to work and you just have to stay home, that's like a happy birthday.
But

Speaker 3 there had been these interesting ups and downs of moments where you just like feel this anxiety.

Speaker 3 And of course, it's because you've watched the news or you see what's going on in the world and it is absolutely devastating and unthinkable.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I had to turn it off after a while.

Speaker 3 You have to, but.

Speaker 2 And it also feels, you feel so impotent to help, right?

Speaker 1 Like they're asking us to help by being passive.

Speaker 2 Stay in your house is the best thing you can do. And it's like, okay,

Speaker 2 if I do go out, I wear a mask. Like, that's all.
I mean, I see all these people working so hard to save all these lives and everything. It's like, wow.

Speaker 1 And look at them. I know.

Speaker 1 Exactly. I know.
But do you kind of feel like at this point that, like weirdly just sort of by luck because you have to that finally like jason for instance that finally

Speaker 1 something good is happening with you make a virtue out of necessity like in your case your impotence now is really valuable yeah it's valuable to be impotent yes yeah yeah yeah are you finding that as a big asset right i can learn from it yeah no finally it's i don't feels quite as bad everyone's in the same boat as me now

Speaker 1 it's just you know

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. So together with Ashley and SiriusXM, we made a donation to four others.

Speaker 1 an organization working to end the child welfare crisis in America. You know, partnering with Ashley in our live show, first of all, they just made our set look really good.

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, you know, cardboard boxes.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 We're not just a bunch of clowns. To be honest, there was a point where I got so comfortable, I forgot that I was in front of an audience.

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

Speaker 1 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 With the right people in your corner, you can focus on what matters, like taking that new car out for a spin.

Speaker 1 State Farm has coverage options to choose from to help best fit your needs so there's support when it matters most.

Speaker 1 And together with the original Sonic Smasher, they're forming a new dynasty of burgers. The pretzel bacon Sonic Smasher.
Try it for a limited time.

Speaker 1 Sonic!

Speaker 2 How about this? How about what's the closest you ever got to quitting?

Speaker 1 The business. Quitting? Yeah.
Great crisis. The business? Yeah.
Yeah. Ooh, that's good.
Oh,

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 3 Oh, I would have to say the last two years that has crossed my mind, which it never did before.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 2 Why is that? Because you feel satisfied?

Speaker 3 No.

Speaker 1 Or before you started the morning show, you mean?

Speaker 3 Before the morning show. It was after a job I had completed, and I was like, whoa, that was really, that sucked the life out of me.
And I don't know

Speaker 3 if this is what interests me. I mean, and I

Speaker 3 had this fantasy of just sort of go, what if you just, you know.

Speaker 2 was it a creative sort of wall that you hit or was it more about like the people you were working with or was it just sort of like over it all?

Speaker 3 It was an unprepared project, you know, that was, we've all been a part of them and you always say, I'll never again, never again.

Speaker 1 One right now is our talk.

Speaker 3 I will never back up into a start date. Right.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Lack of organization.

Speaker 3 And the script isn't ready.

Speaker 2 And then you're stuck there for three months.

Speaker 1 Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Or so.

Speaker 2 This is why I always try to push you into directing because you are so professional and you are so responsible and you are so aware of how the sausage is made and could provide great leadership for that large group of people it takes.

Speaker 2 I just, uh, I'm just a big fan of your abilities. I

Speaker 2 hope that you jump into that chair more.

Speaker 3 I would love to jump into that chair more. I enjoy it thoroughly and I think it's

Speaker 1 I would love to see you making some sausage. Yeah.
Oh, let me just just for what it's worth.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I do have to say, don't you look? Jason's metaphors are just fantastic.

Speaker 1 Pack a casing?

Speaker 2 They're incredible.

Speaker 1 I often wonder where he collects them because I know he collects them and then he distributes them. It's a little spiral book.
Wrinkles.

Speaker 3 Yeah, do you store them?

Speaker 1 Like, where are they? Where are they? Where do they come from? They're in the hair.

Speaker 3 That's why that hair is so thick.

Speaker 1 How good is his hair? How good is Jason's hair? We haven't talked about it in a few episodes.

Speaker 2 I'm so glad we're back to me again.

Speaker 1 Okay, so anyway.

Speaker 1 I wanted to ask about that because I think a lot of people, when they've been in the business a a long time, kind of toy with, well, gosh,

Speaker 1 Wisconsin listener, we mean show business. Keep going, Sean.

Speaker 1 Business tree. The business tree.
The business tree. That we've gotten a lot out of it.

Speaker 1 And, well, we've put a lot into it too, but that we come towards a crossboard kind of where we're like, gosh, if I could do something, what else would I do? And could I leave this all behind?

Speaker 1 Because a lot of people, like we were talking about before in another episode, that we love when actors announce their retirement.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 Never do it. It's like, don't ever say you're quitting smoking.

Speaker 1 Don't announce your retirement. Anything like that.
Right.

Speaker 1 But what would that other thing be that if you had to pick something else?

Speaker 3 Interior design, probably.

Speaker 1 Oh, interior design. You're very good at that.
Yeah, you'd be good at that.

Speaker 1 I love it.

Speaker 3 It's my happy place. It's really a happy place for me.

Speaker 1 Do you do it for other people? Do you ever like have friends who are like, hey, you know what? I know you didn't ask me, but let me help you with that.

Speaker 3 I'm not that kind of person, but I think it. Yeah.
I've also offered help to people where they say, come over and just help me with this. And I go, well, first of all, that's got to go.

Speaker 1 And they're like, no, I can't.

Speaker 3 I love that.

Speaker 1 That's my husband.

Speaker 1 Which is usually where I start, by the way. Jason.
That's usually not. Jason.
Jason's stay. That's the problem.

Speaker 1 Can I ask you another regular person question? You don't want me to go back into the Wikipedia stuff?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Why didn't you do Lepregon 2?

Speaker 1 Was it the script? Were you not happy with the script? When I was a kid, I loved that movie. I love that movie.

Speaker 3 Don't say when you were a kid ever to me again.

Speaker 1 Ever. Okay, sorry.

Speaker 3 We're the same age. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 Well, how old were you? You were like 14 when you made it, right? 15, 16? I was 21.

Speaker 1 Oh, never mind. Smart enough to know better.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 What is the most favorite job you've ever

Speaker 1 had? You're like, if you think about it, you're like, oh my God, I wish every job could be like that. I laughed so much.
I made some friends. I still connect.
Blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 I bet a lot of them.

Speaker 3 So many.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Next question. I mean, well, I would.
So

Speaker 3 kidding, I'm kidding. Am I allowed more than one answer? Yes.

Speaker 3 I loved,

Speaker 3 well, obviously friends. That's a no-brainer.

Speaker 2 It's got to be number one, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. That's all family.

Speaker 3 I would have to say that's number, that would be number one.

Speaker 3 I always loved shooting with Sandler.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Just go with it was super fun. We shot it in Hawaii.
So that was half of why that was incredibly fun.

Speaker 2 and and you know we've we've known each other since we were 19 so yeah how many films have you done with you've done three with him i want to say two two two right yeah two murder mystery and then and then just go that was it

Speaker 1 so break it down so let me ask you this then obviously friends doing another one though you're doing another one with sandler that's great that's great that's so good to hear so obviously friends it's like the number one and and we get it why and you guys get along so great and you're all still friends in in real life, which is so awesome.

Speaker 1 And all those people are really great people. And it is, and it's like Jason said, it's a family.

Speaker 1 What was your favorite film that you made that you felt the most?

Speaker 1 And not to disparage any of the other ones,

Speaker 1 it's not sort of like ranking them. It's more like the experience

Speaker 1 times how you thought it came out and how proud you were of it.

Speaker 3 And what I got from this experience.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what you got from it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And if you could just go ahead and speak into the mic.

Speaker 1 That'd be great.

Speaker 3 I was told very clearly how far to

Speaker 2 we're getting great level from

Speaker 3 because I tend to scream on these things. How is your sippy there going?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Sean, it's like the microphone.

Speaker 3 You couldn't even move to the side for that sippy. It was like...

Speaker 1 You're like competing, like the water's got to compete with the microphone for your mouth. Like, Jesus.

Speaker 2 Listener, Sean has a tremendously large microphone in front of his face.

Speaker 1 I know. He does.
It's like a cartoon. It's like a cartoon.
So, Jen, what was your, what was that favorite, though? What was that movie that you did that you were like, yes?

Speaker 3 I, I would have to say personally, it was the movie Cake.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Great.
Even though that was incredibly hard work.

Speaker 1 You were fantastic in that movie. Fantastic.
So good. Thank you.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 Appreciate it. Deeply, deeply.

Speaker 3 That was an experience that was creatively fulfilling because all of my,

Speaker 3 everything I imagined as an actor, I would be completely afraid of and suck at, I didn't so badly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll say.

Speaker 2 Any truth to the rumor that the sequel Pie is is in the worst? Is that not?

Speaker 1 Uh-huh. That's it.
Thank you.

Speaker 1 By the way, easiest audience. Those are my favorite jokes.

Speaker 1 Sean is the easiest audience on the planet. I will FaceTime Sean sometimes twice a day because I'll be like, this is a dumb bit.
Alessandra's not laughing.

Speaker 1 Nobody around here, but you know, who's going to laugh at this?

Speaker 1 It's so stupid. But wait.
Oh, I want to say, I want to say, because now you've you've experienced and excelled in like nobody's business in all areas of show business, movies and

Speaker 1 TV and everything else. Not musicals yet.
Not musicals, but but you sang amazing on Morning Show. I love that.
I texted you after. I was like, oh my God, that was so great.
Thanks, man.

Speaker 1 But would you ever want to do, do you ever miss the schedule of a sitcom? And would you ever want to do one again?

Speaker 3 Every single day.

Speaker 1 Really?

Speaker 3 It's the best schedule ever on the planet.

Speaker 1 So you would do another one.

Speaker 3 If I knew it would be the same experience as I'd had with those guys, yes. And I doubt that will ever happen.

Speaker 1 No, it won't happen that way. But I remember when I was doing that, we were doing the Millers with Jimmy Burroughs.

Speaker 3 With Jimmy Burroughs.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and like every weekend, and you'd always be like, oh my God. Like, you just wanted to know.

Speaker 3 I was so envious. I wanted to be.

Speaker 1 I was so envious.

Speaker 3 I visited the set a couple times.

Speaker 1 You came and visited the set. Yeah.
Who else was on that show? Will with you. You.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 3 You, Sean.

Speaker 1 Well done. Fuck, Sean.
I was going to say, you looked so much like the guy who did it.

Speaker 1 It was you, of course.

Speaker 3 And Margot Martin. Wasn't Margot on that?

Speaker 1 Martinale?

Speaker 3 Oh, Margot Martindale, who I worshiped.

Speaker 1 The three of us. How hard did we laugh? How fun is she? We laughed.
I cried laughing.

Speaker 3 She's a make-you-cry laughing kind of gal. I did another movie with her, actually, on management with Steve Zahn.
Another funny, very talented man.

Speaker 1 Steve Zahn, very funny guy.

Speaker 3 Oh.

Speaker 2 Can I I change gear to

Speaker 2 an emotional thing, I suppose? I want to talk about fear.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. Ooh, I love that.

Speaker 2 Just speaking from, we're all actors here, and I'm sure many of our listeners are not,

Speaker 2 if they know it's good for them.

Speaker 2 How fear affects you with respect to success? And what was your fear like before you found success? And what is your fear like now

Speaker 2 post-success?

Speaker 2 Like, how have you found? I guess I'm couching all this in your life.

Speaker 1 Now that your success is gone, is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 You're such a generous, happy, warm person,

Speaker 2 and you're an incredible actor, but you can't fake that. So that's coming from a place of security.
That's a place of not a ton of fear,

Speaker 2 or at least it's healthy fear in certain areas. How has that changed? Have you always been like that?

Speaker 2 Because success is a really complicated thing. Fame is a complicated thing.

Speaker 2 And somehow somehow you've managed to keep that warm, wonderful, safe, trusting side of you intact when a lot of people with your level of success and fame are not trusting.

Speaker 2 And actually the fear becomes increased, but you seem to have kept yourself from that.

Speaker 3 Well, I think all of us are kind of lucky that we found our success before the internet and before social media. And I think

Speaker 3 there was,

Speaker 3 I don't think I ever really had fear. I don't think I had fear.
I mean, I had fear of, I have fear of other irrational things, you know, like, as you know, flying.

Speaker 1 You do? You hate flying. Oh, I hate it.
I hate it. Why?

Speaker 3 Because it's too heavy and it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 And yet it gets off the ground.

Speaker 3 It goes there and then it stays there. I know there's all the things and I've been taught

Speaker 3 it's irrational. It's controlled.

Speaker 1 I love somebody going like, I have a fear of flying. Like, why?

Speaker 1 Why? You mean, why? Because that big piece of metal going in the sky sky at 500 miles an hour. That's why, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's why.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.
And I've also had some pretty scary flight experiences. So, but anyway, but so those fears,

Speaker 3 I also was the one person, remember, when we were on an airplane, a plane to a surprise trip for my birthday and we lost a wheel. I was the only one not afraid.

Speaker 3 And everyone else is in tears writing emails and notes to their family. And I'm thinking.

Speaker 2 Did that surprise you? That you kind of clicked into Mother Hen there and was strongly familiar with it.

Speaker 3 What I realized was, oh, just how irrational my fear is

Speaker 3 of flying, because here we are in a moment where there could actually be something going terribly wrong. And

Speaker 3 I have complete faith in our pilot.

Speaker 1 I have complete faith in what's happening.

Speaker 3 So my girlfriend and I, I'm not done, Sean.

Speaker 1 Sorry, sorry.

Speaker 3 So I get excited.

Speaker 1 I know. I can see that.

Speaker 3 So my girlfriend, Dre and I and Kristen, we, the three of us, we're like, this is,

Speaker 3 we're not afraid. And all of the, and Courtney, who is like, her dad's a pilot.
She's never afraid. Molly, Amanda.
Amanda's like, I'm not going down on a plane. My dad.

Speaker 3 And so, you know, I, so that's irrational. It was, that was that insight into that.
But, but in terms of the business.

Speaker 3 It takes a lot of work, you know, to maintain

Speaker 3 everything that you said, because I don't want to ever lose that i don't want to stop trusting people and i see how it can happen and i've had reason to i've had all sorts of not great things happen to me where your trust could easily be easily be broken but you know

Speaker 2 i'm not going to do it i'm not going to do it and so there's the you know therapy right but you you seem to have like taken the the the assets and the capital that success or fame has given you and instead of like buying yachts and whatnot you've actually taken that as like an opportunity to, you know, when somebody approaches you, you get, you get their best self, right?

Speaker 2 Because when they meet you, they're they're happy, they're in a good mood, they want to talk to you, they're asking questions.

Speaker 2 And you take that opportunity to actually put people at ease and bring them in and give them a good experience. Like, I just find that that's a really generous instinct of yours.

Speaker 2 And I suppose my question somewhere in all of this is, how Jason's question is, how could you do that?

Speaker 1 Because he could never do that. Yeah,

Speaker 2 Like, you just, it seems, have you always been like that? Or was it something that you made a conscious decision where I'm going to take this capital and I'm going to take this

Speaker 2 sort of junk food confidence and actually switch it into something that can benefit my life and my friends and the people that come into my circle? Because it's

Speaker 3 a nice junk food confidence. Another good one.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Junk food confidence.

Speaker 1 I,

Speaker 3 you know, when I was a little kid and we we were at Joe Allen's. I don't know if anybody remembers Joe Allen's.
Of course.

Speaker 1 It's in New York.

Speaker 3 In New York City.

Speaker 1 It's a big after-Broadway dinner.

Speaker 3 After-Broadway place. And I was there and there was a guy that was on Sesame Street in the restaurant.
And I remember walking over to him

Speaker 3 at seven years old. I was seven.
And I walked over to his table and I tugged on his jacket and he literally whipped his head around with fiery anger in his eyes and said, Cookie, give me cookies.

Speaker 1 No, what did he say? No, honey.

Speaker 3 It was not a Muppet.

Speaker 1 It was not a puppet. It was a human being.

Speaker 3 Okay. Anyway,

Speaker 3 I burst into tears, felt basically like, I'm having dinner. And I didn't know any better that that's not something that you do when someone's in the middle of dinner.

Speaker 3 So, and there was a couple moments.

Speaker 3 I also just know that that's something I don't still want to be. These people are.
These people are why we work.

Speaker 2 Right. So it was just a part of you.
You've always been like that. And thank God god for all of us

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know what I would say, Jen? Yes, honey. I would say the other thing that I noticed when you tell that story about being on the plane, and I also get nervous of flying.

Speaker 1 Do you? Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 I don't think I know that about you.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. More and more in the last 10 years.
The more children you have, if you have a couple hundred more children, you definitely have. I know.
But,

Speaker 1 and you know, I was talking to a lot of people do, and I was talking to Downey yesterday because he's coming back the day after we are, and he's got a big fear of flying too.

Speaker 1 And we were talking, yeah, big time. New or like acquired? Last few years.
Like, he hates it.

Speaker 1 And he does the same thing I do, which is like there's bumps and then you're like, why is everybody not paying attention?

Speaker 3 Yeah. And everybody's so calm.

Speaker 1 And everybody's so calm. They're like, why are you relaxed? Like, I'll be watching a movie and then there's bumps and I flip it down and I'm like, I can't watch the movie while they're.

Speaker 1 I'm like looking around like, how can you watch the movie in this turn? You know, whatever.

Speaker 3 Anyway, my point was. Do you ever feel that you go to the pot, like look to the pilot or look to the, whoever the, the person is on the plane to see if anybody else is panicking?

Speaker 3 Because I used to look, I always look to the flight attendants. Yeah, flight attends always if they're calm and they're normal and they're just like holding on, then I'm fine.
Always do that.

Speaker 1 And so, but what I was going to say was your ability in that moment where the wheel falls off and it's like, holy shit, where most people would freak out, whereas before most people in normal turbulence would not freak out.

Speaker 1 And it's the reverse, right? All of a sudden, when there is a real issue, you're not freaking out. And it really speaks to kind of what Jason, you were saying before about fear.

Speaker 1 Your fear of, you have a fearlessness in what you do. And that's what makes you so good at what you do.
Because when the moment, you're so good at being in the moment all the time.

Speaker 1 And when the moment calls for it, and even if it's whatever, like you, so there's a thing going on. You have to deal with it.
There's nothing you can do. You have to be in that moment.

Speaker 1 And I think that that really, it doesn't surprise me. that you weren't scared in that moment.
Right.

Speaker 1 Because that's what I was going to ask too is, Jen, don't you, when something like that happens, do you click into

Speaker 1 a different kind of mode when like a crisis happens or something big happens where you're like, okay, I got to take care of it, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 That sometimes happens to me when, you know, I look like I can't even get myself dressed in the morning. Yeah, but you do click in.
I know what you mean, Sean.

Speaker 1 Like, she did, like, you're, when, remember the fires a couple of years ago and it got really close to your house and you were up on the roof taking those videos

Speaker 1 of this. And we were all like, Jesus.
And you're like, I know. Look how close it is.

Speaker 3 And I was like, that was actually a scary moment. I had to get the dogs and I had to get in the car because no one could get up to the house either.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That was.
But you weren't flipping out in that moment, even though you did clear out for a few days. You weren't flipping out.
No. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, you've been handling a lot of responsibility for a long time, right?

Speaker 2 You're practiced at that.

Speaker 3 I'm my own, my, you know, it's me and me and me and me.

Speaker 2 Very self-sufficient.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Jen, I want to know something. Who do you, because you seem to me to be so together and

Speaker 1 maybe it's meditation, maybe it's just life experience, maybe it's just who you are. I'm not.
I'm really not. I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 But you do. You seem.
So am I. I'm a hotter mess.
But you do seem so together and so strong.

Speaker 3 Keyword seem.

Speaker 1 No, no.

Speaker 1 That I always. I'm an ice-cold mess.

Speaker 1 Like, I feel like you're way more enlightened in a sense than I am or most people are because of the work that you've put in. And so, who do you look to?

Speaker 1 Because I sometimes look to you, like, Jen, what do you do for this? And how do you think about this?

Speaker 1 And we just talked to each other a week ago, and it was great about like advice about this certain issue. And, and so

Speaker 1 what did you say? Just put cream on it?

Speaker 3 I did. I said, there's a salve for this.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 But who is that? Who is that for you?

Speaker 3 God, it's none of you guys.

Speaker 1 That's for sure. I've got great cream advice.

Speaker 3 I'm actually kidding.

Speaker 3 I find everybody, every one of my friends has something wonderful to offer.

Speaker 3 You're covered. I'm so covered.
You are covered. I feel so covered.
I mean, JB, I go to you for certain issues, topics. You know, Will.

Speaker 1 Do you go to JB for like what for like box office stuff? Like

Speaker 1 tracking,

Speaker 1 deadline, any kind of like, you know, tracking ratings, stuff like that.

Speaker 3 But by the way, yes. Yes, no, I know.
He is who you go to for that. If there's any, it's like my own walking deadline.

Speaker 1 I'm not proud of that. Wait a minute.
I'm not proud of that. Why? It's really incredible.
That's what you're known for. What do you mean? It's all you're known for.

Speaker 2 Well, I pay attention to what we do for you.

Speaker 3 Your nickname is Junk It, by the way.

Speaker 1 That's the adorable thing, which I love.

Speaker 1 You love the Junk It.

Speaker 2 I don't want any info sneaking up on me, you know? No, I am.

Speaker 1 Jen, remember you did that? What was that thing you did with the rocks, and we all had to write down like our thing that we loved?

Speaker 1 Everybody had to write it their thing on the on the rocks about what they wanted or whatever, and then

Speaker 2 what's the most important thing in your life? And you know what you wrote, Will, on your rock? What? My boys.

Speaker 2 And you know where that rock is?

Speaker 2 It's on my dresser. I took that rock and I put it on my dresser, and it's, I'm going to send you a picture when I get back.

Speaker 1 Are you for real? Yeah.

Speaker 3 You stole my rock? That's my rock. Those are my rocks.

Speaker 2 I think you said, yeah, you guys can take them with you if you want or or something like that. And I will.
I think you just walked away from us.

Speaker 2 And I was so warmed by your little rock, Willie, that I took it for you.

Speaker 1 Well, now I'm not going to make my shot at you. Now I'm not going to take a shot at you.
Well, if I had to write something that I wanted on a rock, what would it be?

Speaker 1 Whipped cream. Cookies?

Speaker 1 Milkshakes.

Speaker 1 Milkshakes.

Speaker 2 Jennifer, Margaret, Jasmine, Anniston.

Speaker 2 Incredible that you joined us.

Speaker 1 Is that it?

Speaker 2 That's how that goes.

Speaker 2 We've actually, you've got been making a lot of time.

Speaker 1 Can we talk about anything?

Speaker 2 No. Well, that's what this show is.
Like, we're not interviewers. We're not bright.
And we just have a.

Speaker 3 You're not saying that about yourselves. Don't talk about my friend like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, Smartless.

Speaker 2 We're living up to our title.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But you have been very, very generous with your time. Yes.
Thank you.

Speaker 3 Well, I love you all dearly.

Speaker 1 I love you very much.

Speaker 3 Love you. And thank you for all of the wonderful compliments.
My God,

Speaker 3 this is the place to be. If you need a little booster, a little booster shot, a little love bomb from my boys.
We got plenty.

Speaker 1 We don't do it to everybody.

Speaker 2 So no, you should hear some of them.

Speaker 1 We love you, dearly. Love you, honey.

Speaker 3 Love you so much. Love you, too.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 2 I'll probably see you in about an hour.

Speaker 3 See, see you soon.

Speaker 1 Love you. Love you.
Love you. Bye.
Okay. Bye.

Speaker 2 Bye.

Speaker 1 Love you.

Speaker 1 You know what? I like that Jen. She added the,

Speaker 1 which we could start. We should start kissing.
No, no, we don't need to add that at all.

Speaker 2 We should start kissing. I do think the bay

Speaker 2 did may have started at her house.

Speaker 2 I mean, we didn't it, we took it off of some sort of television show or film because it's been around for a while. But

Speaker 2 yeah, I feel like I've heard that from her before.

Speaker 1 One of the great things about this age that we live in, you say that and we'll keep, this will be on the show.

Speaker 1 And then in the comments, it'll be like, that did not fucking, it actually came from like, okay, that started on saved by the bell. These sons of bitches.

Speaker 1 How dare you appropriate my fucking expression, bai?

Speaker 1 I'm like, okay, man.

Speaker 2 I was the first person to put six E's on five. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think I was Welcome back Cotter when one of the sweat hogs said, bae.

Speaker 1 Actually, it turns out I just looked into it. My uncle used to work at it, and I just heard I have the proof and I have the thing on YouTube.
Like, fuck off.

Speaker 1 Who cares about your fucking opinion? Shut up. We don't care.
We're saying it, and now it's law. And you can shut up.

Speaker 1 We'll get it, Will. Will's the

Speaker 1 police. We're back into Will's dinner hour here.
You can tell. I know.
I already had dinner. Guess what? You're not going to be surprised.
I had cake for dessert.

Speaker 2 I'm sure you did. In celebration of Jen?

Speaker 1 In celebration. I didn't know it was Jen coming on.
I didn't know it was Jenny. She was in the movie Cake.

Speaker 1 Oh, I can't take the movie. Yeah, I can't.
Look, it's exhausting explaining things to you. I can't be your go-to guy for everything that's like.

Speaker 1 I'm going to go celebrate the sequel and have a piece of pie right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 See?

Speaker 1 I love it. I love it.
I love you. You keep selling it.
But Jason, thanks for bringing her on because

Speaker 1 we're all friends with her. She is a light.
There's a reason she's Jennifer Aniston and super, super famous and lovely because she is real and normal and relatable and accessible.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it's a tricky thing that we're all having to deal with too, right? Because we're having a lot of our friends on the show. We want to talk to them.
I think some listeners want to hear from them.

Speaker 2 But we like, for instance, Jen, perfect example. I know tons about her just personally.

Speaker 2 So, like, I literally do have to go to the goddamn Wikipedia page to find out what the hell would I ask her that I don't already know. Right.

Speaker 2 And it's, it is an interesting piece of research that one has to do when you're inviting somebody on that you've known forever. We're dealing with that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. But it's also really fun because it can just be us shooting the shit.

Speaker 2 Right, right. Which is what it ended up being.
And I don't know if it was worth listening to, but I loved it.

Speaker 1 But it is, you know, Sean, like you said, like

Speaker 1 it's not always the case, but I think that we, as we've gotten older too you kind of whittle down and you choose to spend the time with the people who are the most genuine and the three of us spend time with a lot of similar people and no drama and and jenna is one of those people and she's really close with you guys uh both you guys and with with amanda very close and for years and i'm close with her as well and and it's that idea of like She is such a genuine person.

Speaker 1 The person that we talk to here is the same person that you'll talk to at her house in an hour, is the same person who's at the junket three months from now, is the same person who's on set with Adam Sandler in Hawaii.

Speaker 1 For sure. It's always the same person and it never changes.
Sweet, genuine, nice.

Speaker 2 We should bring on somebody that we all mutually know that we can't stand.

Speaker 1 That's a good idea.

Speaker 2 I challenge you guys, just pick somebody that we hate.

Speaker 1 I got somebody. You guys.

Speaker 1 I do. I've got somebody.

Speaker 2 We'll know as soon as it's revealed.

Speaker 1 You'll know as soon as they come on. It's a guy.
And I know as soon as I have this person on, after you're going to be like, holy fuck. You know what this reminds me of? Do you ever see that?

Speaker 1 They tried to do a remake, too.

Speaker 1 They called it Dinner with Idiots or Dinner for Schmucks.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Dinner for schmucks. But in the French, I saw the original French because...
Sure, of course, because you speak French, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1 No, Je paupon sa me.

Speaker 1 Sorry, I think in French too. I'm so sorry.
But so Dinet de

Speaker 1 Con, which is like the dinner for idiots, right? Right. So schmucks.

Speaker 1 And that is what this will be, is kind of like, who can bring...

Speaker 2 they sort of made fun of him the whole time, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so who can you have to though the goal of that, you know, was that to bring the most idiotic dinner guest.

Speaker 1 And so that's going to be this. We're going to have to bring the most idiotic.

Speaker 1 Are you sure it's not us three already? No, we're the idiots for sure. Like, the joke's already on us.
