Jason Willen, I mean, Will, Jason and I are the only two people in glasses.

Don't you usually wear glasses?

It was like a billing.

That was like a billing situation.

You said, Jason and Will.

No, no, no, sorry.

I mean, Will and Jason.

No, I said.

It's like Will, Will calls you and said, Listen, next time you mention my name along with Jason, Bill, you mentioned my name first.

And you also say and introducing Will and introducing with the I prefer thee.

You want to say Will and Jason and introducing Will?

Yes, no, say, yeah, you said that you're only chewing glasses.

Yeah, yeah, I was gonna say, don't you usually wear glasses?

I do.

I wear my reading glasses, but I'm far back enough now from my screen that I don't, so I look younger than you guys.

Well, you know, you don't need to see Will today very well because he's doing an audio show called Smart Smartless and welcome

to it Smart

Smart

Smart

Let's hang on a second yeah Sean Hayes is back

in town.

No, you just got a little applause for yourself.

Don't start the applause, Sean.

We'll We'll start it.

Okay, and then you can join it.

You know, just

by the way, I have to tell you something.

I would go, I went out

the stage door after a couple shows.

No, after one show, and people were doing that bit.

They're like, No, come up.

No, no way.

Yeah.

In England, yeah, yeah.

You guys.

But

bits travel sometimes.

People are listening.

But I just got back last night, and I swear to God, I weighed about 179, 179, 180 when I left.

I weighed 165.

165 pounds.

So you lost 15 pounds while you were in.

Well, if you lost it and you're looking for it, I can tell you where to find it.

How long will it take to get it back?

I swear to God, for breakfast, I just had a bowl of pasta and two pieces of cake because it was Scotty's birthday yesterday.

You got a big race tomorrow or something?

Wait, wait, wait.

It's 9.30 in the morning right now.

And you've already had.

But to him, it's Din Den time.

A bowl of pasta and two pieces of cake.

His belly is saying, feed me, it's dinner time.

That's right.

That's exactly right.

Yeah.

It was, but yeah, no,

I got back yesterday at like

one in the afternoon, and I went to bed at 8 p.m.

And I got up at 1 a.m.

And then went back to bed.

I got up at 7.

So I slept like 12 hours.

Yeah, you needed it.

Crazy, yeah.

And you needed to.

Did you have to clean the CPAP machine in between?

You're still on that, are you not?

No,

I lost the weight, so I don't need it.

Wait, truly?

Truly?

It was the weight that was.

Well, it's a combination of things.

And I try not to sleep on my back, too.

Okay.

And do you have like nails on your back or something so that if you roll on your back, it pokes you away?

Yeah.

That would be good.

Strap on some sort of like a nail bag.

People used to do that.

They'd put like a tennis ball.

They'd wrap like the tennis ball on their back.

No, they didn't.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean, did they?

Look it up.

Oh, redo the research.

What do you mean, wrap it?

Wait, keep going.

Redo.

I love research.

People go.

I did the research.

I did the research.

What do you mean?

Oh, you have access to Google?

Yeah.

Wait, what website told you that people used to strap a tennis ball to the small of their backs?

I read that a long time ago.

Wait, to do what?

To do what?

I don't know.

Somehow, like, put a tennis ball on the,

I forget how they do it, like, in the back of the back of the back.

And it prevents whatever so that if they roll onto their back, it's uncomfortable and then they want to roll back.

Did they do it with like duct tape or something like that?

I get it.

Or like a tensor bandage or something.

I don't know.

Don't say fucking tensor ever again.

You know, I think your dumb lips.

Tensor.

Tensor.

Stupid.

Stop fucking you great.

Professional grade.

I was doing it this morning.

Were you?

Yeah.

We are professional grade.

The river doesn't damn itself.

This country wasn't built in a day.

Not a week either.

You do Santa Claus too, Will, right?

You play Santa Claus?

No, it's Batman.

Oh, Batman.

You know what?

Batman Santa Claus.

Hey, Sean, we got to get you a a nice campaign.

What would you like to

sling commercials for?

Yeah.

Call it right.

Cake.

Is cake a thing?

General cake spot.

It's all cake makers.

The cake makers of America.

Yeah.

Sean, would you like to go to a cake convention?

Wouldn't that be fun?

Wouldn't that be great?

How was the reintroduction to your dog?

Did he give you any assets?

He comes back today in about three months.

Still haven't seen him.

How long has it been?

Three months.

Wow.

Do you think he's going to give you a little bit of a hairy eyeball?

He's a side eye.

No, he

will.

Will he poop in the bed?

No,

he will.

I'll do that.

No, he'll.

Oh, Sean.

Still?

Welcome home.

No,

he'll go, wow, it's you, and then run and just play and want to cheat.

I was like, Scotty.

Listen, Sean, we're so happy to have you back in the fold.

We missed you the other night.

We talked about all the time.

I'm so excited.

Are we all hanging out this Sunday?

Yeah.

What if you guys are like, no, no, sorry, that was it.

Last Sunday was it.

We are Sunday.

But in the meantime.

Hollywood Bowl.

Oh, well, by the way, sorry, we are going to the Hollywood Bowl.

We are going to the Hollywood Bowl.

November 15th.

November 15th, Hollywood Bowl.

We got a couple of guests.

We got a couple of guests.

I got a

super big guest.

Will, you better bring the noise on your guests.

Yeah, I'm going to bring the noise.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

We're also going to have some special guests as well.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

It's really, well, I get nervous about it.

You know this person, and you're gonna be nervous about it because she's like a, she's a super watt-itch megate.

But I've had the pleasure of meeting this person a few times and I'm always a little starstruck.

I got to admit.

You only meet someone once.

She was nominated for her first Golden Globe when she was 12.

Okay.

This is what?

Yeah.

And has kept it going ever since.

She's been in countless fantastic movies.

Once you start naming them, it's like

I don't think you do know who it is.

It's not Jodi Foster.

She's been in, I don't even know.

I can't even, but

her first nomination was for an interview with a van.

Shirley Temple.

Kirsten Dunst.

I just got a lot of people.

She's just Jill Manji dropped a gorgeous Spider-Man movie Civil War last year.

And Roofman, October 10th, is good.

You kill yourself.

Hey!

I fucking guessed that.

By the way, that's the first time I think I got it right.

I'm not sure if you're academy award nominee.

You didn't even let me get to that.

Sorry, sorry.

You robbed her.

You robbed her of that.

Hi, Kirsten Dunst.

Hi.

I'm so happy to be on the show.

Does anyone call you KD?

Yes.

Really?

Yes.

I'm a lot of names.

Well, listen here.

Listen here, KD.

Yeah.

You're never going to work for the government because, so I'm in Toronto and I'm walking by her table, you guys, and up she pops, hey, I'm about to be on your show.

I'm like, hey,

that's supposed to be a secret.

So your government job is done.

That's good.

But I was like, okay, I'll

play like a big surprise.

But you never know.

But you didn't know when.

You never know when.

You never know when it's going to happen.

That's the good news.

And you guys were up at TIFF because you were up there promoting Black Rabbit and Kirstie Rebels.

promoting Rufus, which I'm really excited.

The following day, and it was killer.

I heard that.

That movie's

a good thing.

It's so good.

It's like a perfect Christmas movie.

I love it.

Love it.

Love it.

Love it.

I can't wait to see it.

And we're all very excited for it.

And we're really excited that you're here.

It feels like finally a little bit.

Yeah,

where are you?

Where is this?

I'm in Tolucca Lake.

Oh, wow.

You're in the back.

Will and I are about to shank shank a couple of balls into your backyard.

We are about to be on there in a couple hours.

Well, that's probably a better way to say that.

Yeah.

Yeah, don't worry.

We'll scrub it.

So you were supposed to be on here a couple years ago for Civil War, and I forget what happened.

It was a schedule thing, blah, blah, blah, blah.

One of you were sick.

Yeah, JB, for sure.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

JB.

I was battling.

Wait,

you were so great in that movie.

That movie was really great.

I know.

I love Civil War.

It was so good.

I know.

I need to see that.

I'm scared to see that.

I feel like it's probably super good, super accurate.

It's like the same reason.

You know that movie United 93 that Paul Greengrass?

I'll never see that because what I hear is that it's just too good.

It puts you on a plane that's plummeting from the sky for two and a half minutes.

I did that movie that's coming out next year on a plane.

No.

What is it called?

Really?

The Entertainment System is Down.

Oh, yes.

Wait, what is that about?

That's the guy who did Triangle of Sadness.

Yes, and Force

you were in a reuben ausslin film yeah that's like that was yeah you and her you and your hubby are just in about every great movie you ever want to be in i know i know and and your husband your husband jesse plemons who's also a wonderful guy i had the pleasure of meeting both of you last year or something and just sweet sweet super talent and so you did that movie uh um the entertainment system is down which i've just read about which looks awesome what is that what is that like like satellites go go out or something?

Well, what is that?

Sound less perturbed about it.

No, no, I want to know because it sounds cool.

What is it like the satellites down or something?

Do I still get emails and stuff like that?

Can I still do Candy Crush?

Does Candy Crush work?

By the way, that's real.

That's all I do.

Wait,

you don't have to, I know we're talking about some other movie, but tell me what that one's about, just like briefly, because I love sci-fi.

It's not sci-fi.

Oh, yeah, but I mean, like doomsday stuff.

Well, it's human doomsday, basically, on a plane.

Yeah, it's human doomsday.

So it's called the entertainment system is down because there's no Wi-Fi.

There's nothing.

Right, right.

So you have to deal with each other.

Okay, that's what I want to see.

Sean, it's like, you know, you know, like the bar, you know, the bar on Tatooine in Star Wars.

Oh, got it.

I'm all, I'm on board.

I'm on board.

Okay, sorry.

I just wanted to put it into context.

I got it.

So, So, Kiris, walk us through a little bit

how you, I mentioned that you got your first big award nomination.

It was for Golden Globe when you were 12 years old.

How trippy was that?

I mean, for a 12-year-old.

I don't think I really realized like, you know what?

I was working on Jumanji and everyone's like, you're going to win.

You're going to win.

And so don't tell a little girl that because I didn't win.

And then I was crying on

jane seymour was next to me like for dr quinn medicine woman and i was just like crying

under the table pretty much on the at the at the table on nbc yeah

and everyone's all banged up on champagne and there's a little girl there looking for someone to hold wow yeah did you have a speech all lined up and everything i i don't remember if i did but but hey better to better to kind of learn that at a young age that you know you can't trust the outcome of stuff you know know, I was going to say, yeah, I was going to say, did it help kind of right-size all of that stuff eventually?

You know, it's like award stuff doesn't, like, you know, we all know like the good stuff we all love usually doesn't get nominated or doesn't win.

It's like, so really all you have is the experience of making it.

That's all you have.

Right.

It's also, it's so odd, isn't it?

That like

people, you're not like the competition of it all, no one's playing the same character.

It's like, you know, 100-yard dash, you know, everyone's going the same distance.

Who gets there quicker?

It's pretty clear.

I had to audition for the movie on the plane for the entertainment system is down.

Oh, you did?

Yes.

And that feeling, I hadn't been that excited to get a role since Interview with the Vampire.

Wow.

So like, to me, auditioning and getting something is like, that is crazy.

That's the way.

When was the last time you auditioned before the Ruben Austin thing?

I auditioned for this movie with Jeff Nichols, the director Jeff Nichols, called Midnight Special.

Great.

The great Jeff Nichols.

That was a great movie, Midnight Special.

Yeah.

Love that movie.

So, but wait, so that was like 10 years ago.

Yeah, it had been a midnight.

At least, I don't think, yeah.

That was my god.

Were you nervous auditioning again?

I would be terrified.

I did a self-tape.

I

all by myself.

Yeah, it is easier.

It was a new world.

It was a, yeah, it was a, all, it was all improv.

He gave me an improv.

And yeah, I just, you know, put my iPhone.

I just taped it on my iPhone and pretended.

And if you sucked, you just get to do it again.

Yeah, I did two takes.

I felt I was like, and I didn't watch it.

And I just sent it.

Did you ask Jesse to look at it?

No, he was away.

So no one.

You were just all by yourself.

Yeah.

No way.

And what, so what do you think he was looking for?

Like, do you mind saying what they were doing?

No, not at all.

My improv was a

two people people are sitting bored next to each other on a plane.

He's asleep with our son and I am bored and look at his phone and I discover that he's been cheating on me.

So it's like, you know, hanging out on the plane, bored, do the whole like

face recognition thing.

Right.

And wait, now, so that's all your, your, that's all your idea.

Yeah, yeah.

No, no, this is all, he wanted me to do this vibe, basically, the director.

And so then I see a memory comes up on the iPhone that is like

to Caught and Eyed Joe, that song.

And it's supposed to be like him cheating with a bunch of women.

Where did you come from?

Where did you go?

Exactly.

Sure.

So then I see that he's been cheating on me and I wake him up.

But at first I have to go through, you know, all the emotions and shit.

And since there was no one else in the improv with you, as soon as you wake him up and you start to confront him, it's over.

It's over.

I was like, you need to wake up.

And then I just got pissed and I got up and shut off my phone.

Oh, I love it.

I mean, it's wild to do a self-tape of an improv by yourself.

I know.

Yeah.

That's that's so weird.

I did put Jesse's camera, like that, because he's always shooting film of our family.

So I put his camera nearby.

So I had like a,

I don't know, a symbol.

This is real actory right now.

Of him, of something.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How long have you guys been married?

oh god i don't even know we've been together for about 10 years we got married after kids yeah yeah i three years maybe okay got it yeah that's great wait talk a little bit a little bit about uh so doing that audition uh for that movie by yourself the the the nightmare self-tape improv which is bizarre but but it probably been a minute since you you said you auditioned for another film but but how different was when you first started auditioning when you were a kid basically Yeah.

And JB, you had that experience too, auditioning a lot when you were a kid, right?

Yeah, yeah.

And what that process was like back then, what it meant to you back then, did you feel, were the stakes high or was it just kind of like after school, go do it and then go do your thing?

Yeah, what is that like?

Do you put it, did you put a big thing on it?

What do you think, Kirsten?

I did.

I did because, well, like, okay,

we were at the Oakwood Departments.

Oh, my God.

And I was going to normal schools.

For my sister, Oakwood Apartments, for Tracy, Oakwood Apartments is a complex where a lot of actors would stay while they were.

Because you can rent it monthly.

I'd come out for a pilot season a bunch of years in a row and stayed there.

Same.

Yeah.

Oh, same.

Where were you coming from?

I'm from New Jersey.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

You guys could have come out.

Yeah, so we would come out.

Yeah.

We probably could have.

Remember, you used to have that sign when you left,

the one in Barham, right?

Yeah, yeah.

So, and the back gate one had it, as you were waiting for the gate to open, there was a little sign on the gate as it it moved that said smile at showtime.

Oh God.

I don't know.

I remember thinking like how soon do you want me to take my own life?

So depressed.

I'm not going to job.

Go get them.

Oh God.

Anyway, anyway, so you come out your own

with your

mom, my brother, and my grandma.

Wow.

But I would go to normal school.

I went to Laurel Hall in the valley where I met my best friend.

So

I had like a normal-ish life because I never was home tutored or anything.

Yeah.

Um, but yeah, auditioning was when it was a big role.

Like I remember this, it was like I auditioned for interview with the vampire, auditioned for the secret garden, and I didn't get the secret garden.

And I remember sobbing about that.

Wow.

But now, but was it, did it get more stressful as you got older?

No, because I think because I got success from interview, I didn't have to audition for a long time.

Like I auditioned for little women, but it wasn't frequent enough to traumatize me.

I auditioned for Spider-Man was the big next one that I auditioned for.

Uh-huh.

Did you get it?

I did.

Shows that.

He's jet lagged.

Forget us and he's just cheeky.

Even though he's not in England anymore, he's still cheeky.

JB,

did you ever, I mean this honestly, did you ever sob or have that thing, that pressure?

I remember you talking about the pressure of getting a job because it was the family business.

I never cried, but what was worse was that I'd be so paralyzed with fear on the way to auditions when I got to be in my 20s because

I literally needed the employment.

I needed, you know, it wasn't just like fun when I was like a little kid and I get to skip school and all that stuff.

And then it became like, you know, well, this is this is how this is my occupation.

It's how I.

Did you support your family, Jason?

I contributed for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Did you, Kirsten?

I didn't have to.

It started out as like, ah, fun, college money, whatever.

And then my parents got divorced.

And then it was a little like, well, you're making the most money.

So

my mom lives in my back house.

Okay.

Aww.

That's sweet.

Yeah.

I'm a good daughter.

That's good.

That is sweet.

Yeah.

I love that.

Very, very cute.

We'll be right back.

What's going on?

Is Jesse in town?

You guys must take turns single parenting.

I was going to get into that.

Yeah, it's tough.

Yeah, it's so hard.

I had a real moment last night.

I just went to my friend's house.

I was like, I can't parent alone tonight.

I just can't do it.

Just leave a bunch of milk and crackers out.

Well, I took them with me.

I just

brought them.

TB, what do you think she's doing over there, man?

That's how I grew up.

Wait,

how many kids and how old?

I have two boys, but like, literally, I'm getting ready for this.

And I get this sign.

I need you.

Him sad, me with the door shut.

Oh.

Look at that drawing.

That's so shunny.

Sean's dog drew a similar picture.

Wait, did he make that?

So, so, listener, this is a picture of Kirsten inside one room with the door closed, and then her son on the outside, upset, upset, and so did he slide that under the door, yes, no,

come out, yeah, no,

and I am, I let them sleep in bed with me when Jesse's not here.

Like, I am like, actually, you know, who we watch, Will, is the Lego Masters show.

Nice, I'll put you right out, right?

Yeah, no, I use that skin.

That's like,

it's like a sugar crash.

It's a fun.

It's calming.

It's a fun thing to watch with kids, isn't it?

It's a very fun family show.

It is.

So are you guys always, so one of you is pretty much, is it safe to say, always working?

And that's why you have to just

summer together.

No, we had the summer together.

It's like whoever's up next, like whatever happened.

Like we're still trying to figure it out, you know?

But I mean, it's really hard.

It's really hard.

So,

yeah.

to me they're four and seven so it's like and they're two boys it's a lot yeah

yeah i i i i i've been there been there and done that and have you thought about and you can shut us up anytime we're getting too personal have you thought about the the shut up sort of the con the possibility i didn't know that was an option shut up

this is the greatest day of the podcast

shut the up

about the possible convenience of homeschooling you know we guys guess just i don't want my kids to be weird.

I know.

Yeah.

I know.

Exactly.

I'm with you.

They need that social interaction, probably, right?

Yeah.

No.

I know plenty of parents, though, that have done it successfully.

So who are we to judge?

But

I definitely benefited from getting

away from adults and into school and being with kids when I wasn't working.

It was great.

Yeah.

And they would just, you pick up, the great news was the bus that picked you up was the school.

Yeah.

Turns out.

Jason went to school on a bus, bus and he didn't drop out of high school.

He was dropped off from high school.

It is true.

It's going to be a fun chapter in the book one day.

Oh, God.

Don't you cry, don't you cry, Jason.

I'm not crying.

You're crying.

And you kind of mentioned you didn't really have to audition anymore again.

You kind of did for little women, but then you just started doing, and you mentioned you get nominated, I guess, when you're doing Jumanji, which was a huge

massive.

Yeah, I mean, you just, you kind of went on this run of like just being in these big, massive movies and you're young.

Yeah.

So you're like, oh, well, this is my reality.

It wasn't though.

Like, I was almost embarrassed.

Really?

Really?

I think so.

And I didn't really, I like had a blocker up, I think, that didn't compute what

I was doing.

Plus, what am I doing?

I'm going to school.

I have my best friend.

We're in our own world.

Like, I really lived in a very little like school bubble, bubble you know so i would do my thing but didn't it get but didn't it get weird like on the weekends and you go to your school parties and all the kids at the party and you're just trying to you just feel like you're just one of the kids at the weekend party and then like oh hey i that's that girl from the movie i saw last week like did they

do that to me no really come on you were pretty famous though yeah but i don't very early age they didn't do that to me at school yeah i don't maybe it was like a i i was very normal.

I didn't come into school like, hey, look at me.

You know,

I was embarrassed.

So yeah, like, talk to me about that.

What do you mean embarrassed?

Like, embarrassed because of the attention that you got that that was a byproduct of the movie that you weren't looking for?

I think I just didn't want to be singled out at school as anything other than another student there and high school too.

Like I didn't want anyone to call me out or be like, so I underplayed myself.

Were you already through high school when you did bring it on

uh it was senior year the summer before senior year i love like the ultimate like the ultimate cheerleading like high school movie too of all time yeah and where people but we didn't know that at the time it was like a little san diego who cares movie that universal you know it wasn't like no one knew that that was you still remember some of the cheers you know i do

it sometimes

do you do it sometimes do you ever do it sometimes ironically on set when it's you're trying to ramp up the crew in the castle it's a fucking night shoot and it's time to keep going.

Ready?

Okay.

Five, five, five.

I did it for my sons yesterday because we went to this 25th anniversary.

Well, we went to this 25th anniversary bring it on thing on Sunday night.

And they had good pom-poms.

So I brought some pom-ops home and I was like doing cheers for them and spelling their names.

That's the only show.

Those are the only people that are going to get that.

Did they like it?

Yes.

My son was like looking at me like I was like, whoa, like a golden goddess.

I didn't know you could do this, mom.

You don't want him to like it too much.

Cheer squad.

Yeah, actually, a mom recruited me to start a cheer squad at the school.

Really?

Oh, wow.

Yes, yes, yes.

Oh, I'm going to do it.

I'll do it.

Yeah.

I love that you're going to do that.

I do love that show.

That show cheer on

dark.

I know.

I know.

Is it?

Is it dark?

What is it?

Well, it got dark.

A guy got arrested for bad things.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Wait, I didn't see that one.

Well, no, no.

Did that happen on the show or away from?

Wait, Shawnee, did you ever experiment with Cheer Squad?

No, but my sister was a Cheer Squad.

Her name is Tracy.

Okay.

With an EY or is it just one?

An EY, yeah.

And she

lives up to

Wisconsin.

Does she know?

I know much about the biz?

Yeah.

No.

Do you have to explain stuff to her ever?

Yeah, anytime you guys can think about it, just make sure that.

Continuing.

And so

she would do cheerleading things, and she would do pomas, and she would do batons.

Oh, wait.

Do I have the photo?

No.

I thought you were going to go, but there's a picture of me and her.

Me and her.

We had to play batons.

I'm so excited.

So I learned how to do the baton at a young age.

What is the little thing with the dude in front of the band, the marching band?

It's not.

A stick.

Yeah.

So it's got a pointy stick and then a little ball at the top.

Is that also a baton?

Or is it just

like a band leader stick?

Or staff.

Yeah, staff.

Something like that.

Anyway, Kirsten.

So

I'm happy chilling.

Yeah, you don't have to talk on this show.

I love it.

Wait, so tell me, wait,

because like Will said, you've done so many gigantic movies.

Is there, I know you don't want to, they're all important to you and all of your work is important.

But they're all different, like sort of different styles.

Like you, you really bounce around.

You can't be pegged to one thing.

Like you've did, you've had like, it almost feels like different phases.

Well, they're just different roles, I guess.

That's what it is.

Yeah.

But is there one where you're just like, you know what?

That was the greatest experience of my whole career so far.

And

you just thought, like,

there's no way it can get better than that.

Not results.

No, necessarily, but just

experience.

Experience.

Huh.

I don't know.

Cause like movies aren't fun to make.

You know what I mean?

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

So,

but,

God,

I, I, I, he'll take, he'll take the, he'll take the worst experience.

I, I, I liked making melancholia.

I don't, it was like, it was like this little isolated.

It felt like we were doing a play.

We all lived in this small town in Sweden in this hotel slash housing place.

And it was,

it was just like cozy and

really

calm and so

what I'm like comforting.

I don't know.

It was just,

I just felt like, oh, this is what it could be like.

Lars von Treyer?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Now they have a family.

Go ahead.

Well,

I'm going to ask a dumb question.

Surprise.

When you, I'm not sure about going to Sweden, to Norway.

Why?

Because of the light.

I feel like I'm getting very sad because if I'm there during the time of the year when the sun only comes up for a couple of hours, I'm going to feel like

they call it winter.

Is it winter?

I'm sure I can do it.

No, it's very, we were there in the summer, so we had a beautiful

almost worse, right?

Because the sun never goes down.

It did.

It's weird.

I went one time.

I went one time early July and I flew from here and I landed there and I had crazy jet lag and then woke up at 4 a.m.

for a phone, a phone call came through and it was, and I step outside and it's blaring sun and it's like 5 to 4 a.m.

And it felt like it was noon.

And I was like, what the fuck?

Where am I?

It was so discombobulating.

I feel bad.

I mean, because of that, Kirsten, and because you have a family now and Jesse works, and it's this very artistic, you know,

you're just around it all the time.

And the schedules, do you still enjoy?

going to another country for three, four, five, six months, whatever it is, to work.

I mean,

those experiences, do they still fill you up?

Well, I did enjoy Budapest.

Let's just put it that way.

I really did not.

Well, our son, we all went as a family.

We enrolled them in the

international school there.

Yeah.

And then my son had appendicitis and emergency surgery and then recovered for a week and then had a blockage.

So basically, my time in Budapest was horrible.

It was horrible.

That's so young to have an appendicitis.

You just

fill that thing up.

I don't know.

I was like, everyone's like, drink the water there.

So I was like, yeah, the water's great.

So now I'm freaking out.

Like, was it the water?

I don't know.

Wait, what movie was that on?

That was on the airplane movie.

Oh, that you just did.

No shit.

No, yeah.

Oh, wow.

So, this first part, I mean, everyone's had a shit year, it seems like.

But, like, the first part of the first part of our year was pretty bad.

So, but, but to Sean's question, like, do you, um,

are you a, are you a big nester?

Like, when, like, now that you're back home, do you love just like not going anywhere?

Yeah, I don't go anywhere.

Yeah.

I stay in my radius of school drop-off and neighborhood restaurants.

I don't, I don't leave the valley.

It's nice, isn't it?

You go in there to that Bob's Big Boy.

You get in there.

Oh, I love it.

I like the car nights, but I never want to eat there.

Bob's big boy.

I love it.

I love it.

Sean, cool it, man.

Yeah.

It's not going anywhere.

We're not going to be done with this for another 20 minutes.

I was in London just yesterday, actually.

What's today, Tuesday?

Yeah.

And I just did my last show.

I did a play there, Kirsten.

And it was.

Finally.

A final good night.

A final good night for us.

And every Sunday we would go to Five Guys, right?

The burger place.

Yeah, yeah.

And so Will FaceTimed me and Scotty on our walk to Five Guys.

And he goes, where are you going?

I I go, He goes, Are you on your way to Five Guys to get a burger?

I go, Yeah.

He goes, By the look of you both,

you're going to walk out of there looking like 10 guys or something.

More like 10 guys.

Am I right?

Am I right?

It's so stupid.

But

I love those old burger joints, like big, like Bob's Big Boy and stuff.

And there's a lot of them in the valley, like old, like pizza places in the valley that are really great.

I'm going to say something comes up.

I've been to Chili John's, too.

Have you been to Chili Johns?

That place is a real relic.

It's on right across the street from Riverside and Coldwater.

Is Is that the place?

No, Chili John's is on, is it Magnolia or Burbank?

I think it's Burbank, and it's very cool, old school.

Have you guys done Apple Pan?

You must have done Apple Pan.

Yes, of course.

But that's over the hill.

Yeah, Apple Pan's hill.

That's over in Crico.

I'm going to say something controversial.

There are burger places that everybody talks about that are only that I just think are really overrated.

Like?

Like?

Well, I don't want to name it.

I want to

raise people's boats, but I'm not going to name people things that I don't like.

That's super, super courageous.

Well,

I will say our friend on Sunday makes a burger

very much on par with In-N-Out.

Oh, my God.

I would say better.

Yeah.

I would say better.

I can be with you.

I would say better.

Wow.

It's really delicious.

If you could, let's go around the horn here.

If you could have only one classic junk food as your final meal, would it be like a burger?

Would it be pizza?

Would it be

grilled cheese?

That's a great question.

I will go first.

I think it's going to be pizza and I'm going to have a side of well-done fries.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Kirsten.

I would do.

Yeah.

Yeah, you go.

No, you go, Sean.

I have spaghetti.

Okay.

Really?

That's not junk food.

Yeah.

Well, it's not.

It's so Sean Hayes.

You know, this guy, can I have some ice cream?

Yeah, what flavor?

Vanilla.

That's it.

And that's his goat.

He loves it so much.

With a bust.

Mother's milk.

It's mother's milk.

Kirsten, what would you have?

What would you be your ultimate junk food?

Well, junk food.

Like comfort food.

Yeah, grilled cheese.

I think I honestly, I might do In-N-Out.

Yeah.

Cheeseburger.

I love it.

With a chocolate shake.

Just a single?

Well, cheeseburger, extra spread, no onions is my butt.

So not the double-double.

No.

Extra spread, though.

I like your style.

You're not doing the spread on the side.

You want them to slather it right on.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's for you.

You got to eat it quick before the bun gets soggy.

Yeah, that's why I turn the air conditioning off when I get takeout for home.

I'm like, AC off.

This shit better be rolled up in the bag real tight.

I hate when people come home with an open box of in-and-out.

I do too.

What's the point?

Take it back because you want to keep your burger hot.

Yes.

God, I love you.

I love you.

That is extraordinary.

That is really interesting.

I'm with you on that.

Wait, can I go back to work first?

No, wait, Arnett hasn't declared.

Oh, yeah, sorry.

I'd go pizza too.

I'd go pizza and chocolate shake.

And what kind of pizza is it?

It would probably be just

more than likely just a cheese pizza.

Yeah.

Maybe with some meat on it, maybe sausage, sausage.

Some nice meat there.

Some sausage.

Sausage and some onions.

Is that a crispy or is that kind of a soft?

No,

it's got to have sort of a crispy undercarriage, as they say.

Black bottom.

Black bottom.

Not necessarily black bottom,

but it's got to have some crispy to it.

And

when I see people eat pizza and and put the crust to the side and they don't eat the crust, I'm like, what are you

communist?

What do you do?

You know, in college, I used to eat the pizza and then save the crust and dip it in peanut butter after.

Ew.

God, you shit cake.

Peanut butter?

Yeah, because it was just a pizza.

I mean, rancher.

Son, I mean this

with all respect.

You fat fuck.

Wait, I want to ask for work stuff.

It's Kirsten Dunson now.

I know, I know.

Meet you.

I want to know, do you have any kind of

routine things that you do before a shoot, after a shoot, during a shoot or something that you're consistent about?

That like, you know, I'm about to start a job.

So this is how this is going to go.

I'm going to make sure I do.

I'm practicing your faces or

in the mirror.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Anything I do.

Are you big on research?

Are you big on like getting in studying your character and figuring out what they have in their pockets and all that?

Actor stuff.

I mean, they have a secret.

My characters have a secret.

I, uh, what do I do?

I do dream work.

That's my main thing.

I do.

Oh, yeah.

What's that?

I like that.

Yeah.

What is dream work?

I just did the first time.

You did?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Is that the company that was started by David Geffer?

Come on.

Yes.

Yes.

You're on the right.

No, no, no.

Wait, Kirsten, what is?

I don't know what Dream Work is.

So there's a couple acting coaches, you could call them, but they're more than that.

But my lady is someone who's done it.

Her mom did it too.

And you basically ask yourself questions and write yourself a note at night of what you want to find out about your character.

And then whatever you dream, you write it down and you discuss it with her and implement it into

the script.

That's really cool.

Regardless of whether the dream had anything to do with the question or your character, it's just whatever your dream scenario was, you kind of incorporated into your character's backstory.

Well,

you're writing yourself a specific note at night.

So you're asking your unconscious to give you something that you can implement.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

That's cool.

Yeah.

And then when you're done with the movie, you write yourself a note, I'm done with this character, blah, blah, blah, and sign out.

There's your routine.

There's your thing that you do.

Yeah.

That's pretty rad.

That is pretty cool.

We'll be right back.

The family that vacations together stays together.

At least, that was the plan.

Except now, the dastardly desk clerk is saying he can't confirm your connecting rooms.

Wait, what?

That's right, ma'am.

You have rooms 201 and 709.

No, we cannot be five floors away from our kids.

Eh, the doors have double locks.

They'll be fine.

When you want connecting rooms confirmed before you arrive, it matters where you stay.

Welcome to Hilton.

I see your connecting rooms are already confirmed.

Hilton, for this day.

And now, back to the show.

Are you good at remembering lines?

I'm getting worse.

Yeah.

I'm so bad.

It's coming for all of us.

Really?

I'm getting so bad that if I read read a script and the person talks a lot, I'm like, I don't know if I can do this.

So if somebody brought you a one-woman show on Broadway.

Oh, hell no.

Hell no.

No.

Our buddy John Krasinski just did one.

He knocked me out.

My God.

Is that awesome?

Yeah.

Just fucking unreal.

It looks like Billy Kradoop's done it a bunch of times.

Yeah, they're both men.

See, women multiple times.

No, Laura Lenny's done it a few times.

She's nailed it.

You can do it.

I don't know.

It's weird to me.

I don't like the idea of doing a play.

It's a lot of work.

Let's be honest.

It's a lot of work, right, Sean?

I mean,

I know.

Sean just came off basically two and a half years of doing this play.

It sounds so tiring to me.

I did it over 200 times.

Are you always

out of it?

Got a tony.

Yeah.

I mean, at least you got the tony.

I mean, I know what you mean, Kirsten.

It is.

You don't do it for the financial because theater doesn't pay, but you do it because of a thing inside as an actor that you just wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity, maybe, or it's uh, you get that character that you've always wanted to play out of you.

So, you're like, great, I did that, and now it's that's done, and now I can go do maybe another character.

Do you ever think about the audience judging you, though?

Like, oh, that person's just coming to see the girl from Spider-Man.

You know what I mean?

Like, I feel like it's a little weird.

The girl from Spider-Man,

what's the name of the play?

I just, I just, I don't know.

It's just, maybe when i'm older i'll like it listen one of the only live things i did was center it live once and i had the best time of my life

but i grew up watching that show like literally one of the best times of my life how how was that experience i i had one of the best times of my life no no but i mean like it's specifically like what was the what was yeah well i grew up watching the show as do my kids now uh they'll call out people and be like you know will you put on the bill hayter puppet sketch for me you know like i show them chris farley Farley with the Colombian coffee, you know, the decaf Columbian coffee frequency.

I gotta see that.

It's one of the funniest sketches ever.

We used to call our youngest, well, he's baby Chris Farley, but

I don't know where I'm going with this.

You were talking about the specifics of what you loved about the

SNL.

So I was, when I was younger, I played Data Carvey's grandchild when he was George Bush on the couch, like eating popcorn as an extra.

And I was

Victoria.

Yeah, thank you.

In one of her spoof commercials too.

So it's like such a legacy thing for my family.

Yeah, it felt.

Did they show that clip when you hosted?

Yeah, they did.

No way.

Yeah.

Oh, that's cool.

Yeah.

And it's in the, when you walk like in the main hallway, when you get there, little me is in with Dana Carvey on the couch.

That's cute.

It was one of the, yeah, it.

It was so, I loved it so much.

I loved it.

So, yes.

What do you do when you're, when you're not working on films and stuff and momming?

You know, do you, what do you want?

What do you love to do?

What do you fill your time with?

You're just like nothing, shopping, walking around Toluca Lake.

I

honestly, the other day, I dropped them off.

I went to Pilates to do that.

Okay.

And then I just watched TV.

I want to lay in bed and watch TV.

That's all.

Yeah,

I don't want to make a generalization here.

A sexist.

But you're going to, but you're going to?

But I'm going to.

this would be a good bailout.

Somebody told me the other day that they noticed that, I'll just talk about my own house, Amanda watches all of her TV in bed.

I watch all of my TV

on the couch.

She's on the couch.

Yeah.

And I find that that is not uncommon.

I said that pretty well, didn't I?

And you were very good.

You did a really good job.

That was very good.

Why do you think that is an uncommon thing?

As it relates to gender, you mean?

Okay, Sean said it.

No, I mean, I didn't know it's a bad thing.

Or just you.

Or just people are just like peeps.

Some people like to watch.

I've tried to watch TV in bed, and I feel like I'm getting like bed sores.

Yeah, I feel like I need to be able to shift around a lot.

I always think the bed is for sleeping, and so that if I start watching something in bed, then it's going to mess with my sleep.

Yeah, and Scotty can't sleep unless the TV's on.

He cannot fall asleep unless the TV's on.

Scotty can.

Yeah.

Kirsten, we're going to be right with you.

Hold on.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you fall asleep with a TV?

Do you fall asleep with the TV on, Kirsten?

No.

No.

You got a TV in the bedroom, though.

Hell yeah.

Yeah, hell yeah.

Some people don't.

We got one.

Does Jesse watch it?

Yeah.

To go to sleep?

No, not to go to sleep, just to enjoy.

But what about will you, because Amanda and I often fall asleep where she's watching her iPad and then I'm watching the TV.

But she's got to have the fucking headphones

so that she can hear her iPad and not hear what I'm listening to on the TV.

But it really only lasts about 10 minutes.

But that's on the couch.

She's down in your room with you and she's on the couch.

No, no, this is when I eventually go upstairs and I get in bed.

And you turn the TV on when you're in bed.

Yeah, she's got the iPad already going.

I got to bring her her headphones.

She puts those on, and then I turn on the TV and let it rock me out.

You guys should try something called talking to each other.

Huh?

Well, what are you talking about?

Relating, Jason.

Let me come over and help your marriage.

Just give me 10 minutes to help your marriage.

Kirsten, is there somebody that you've dreamed of working with that you haven't with?

Because it seems like you've worked with all the great, like great, great, great people.

I mean, the one is Paul Thomas Anderson.

I feel like that's everything.

I feel like where that new movie is going to be.

Yeah, it looks sick.

But he did recommend me for Melancholia.

So that was.

Oh, he did.

Oh, that's cool.

Well, Jesse could put in a good word for you.

He's worked with him at least once.

I mean, I have his phone number.

He randomly emails me sometimes.

So I have those saved.

Just start sending him just random headshots of you from over the years.

He did.

He called me once and he was like, I need to talk to you about something.

And I was like, oh my God, like this

is going to happen.

And then we played phone tag forever.

And then we finally got in touch and he was like, asked me about what it was like working with this other actor.

Oh,

because he's thinking about giving them an actor.

I was like, you know how mean that was of you?

Yeah.

That was not cool to do that.

I can't imagine the pressure.

He must feel so much pressure.

Like every actor that he ever talks to.

Yeah.

They're just hitting him.

Is this my moment?

Yeah.

What can I do to make a good impression on him?

Yeah.

I know.

Well, it'll come.

Listen, it'll happen too.

You can manifest anything.

I mean, of course it's going to happen.

Is that right, Will?

What does the universe say about him?

By the way, it's true.

You don't need to raise your eyebrows up if you're talking about manifestation.

You want to fucking fight me on this?

Give me your pitch on manifestation.

Put it out there.

Put it out there.

You're saying, ask the universe

that's going to happen?

Yeah, you know what I was saying?

Why not me?

Why not me?

Well, why don't you just let them, you know?

I could let them.

And we'll be right back.

Yeah.

We've been doing this lately where we try to go to the bottom.

Just like you throw it a couple of days.

And we'll be right back.

How did you and Jesse meet?

We met on Fargo, season two.

Oh.

Yep.

And

we, it's so funny.

I remember seeing him at the airport, like us meeting at LAX for the first time so clearly.

we just were.

He doesn't remember it that way.

You said that it's almost like he doesn't remember it.

No, no, I just like you don't often remember meeting the first meeting with someone you could picture it in your brain really clearly.

Yeah, well, but can you say why it's it it

you remember it so clearly?

I don't know why.

It's like one of those things that, like, while I remember that moment, even though I didn't know this was my future husband, you know, when did the flirt start?

Can you tell us?

Uh, the flirt,

like, I think we were so

like soulmate enmeshed, kind of in our characters, too.

Like,

but also the way we worked.

And I just felt like I didn't want to not be near him is what I thought.

I love that.

Yeah, even at lunchtime, like, I'd be like, what are you doing for lunch?

You know,

whatever.

Let's make a sandwich at Crafty because

whatever.

Who asked who first whether they were involved in a relationship?

We both kind of knew.

Oh, we were both in relationships.

Yeah.

So then it was respectful all the way through.

Yeah, totally respectful.

And then we just kept in touch.

And then both were out of our relationships.

We didn't get together till a year after.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

South by Southwest was our first

hangout.

Aha.

Copy that.

Hot Austin summer nights.

Back there.

Y'all, you know.

Still rolling.

That's over.

We'd be remiss if we didn't talk a little bit about Roofman.

So, JB, you saw this movie.

It's amazing.

Roofman.

When you saw this movie, I'd give it a huge, huge thumbs up.

Huge thumbs up.

Directed by the great Derek San Francisco

and co-starring Channing Tatum.

Yep.

It's based on a true story about a dude who lives inside a Toys R Us for a couple of months.

Yes, he does.

He basically robbed like 45 McDonald's through the roof.

That's why they call him the roof man.

Yeah, this is all true.

Really?

Yep.

And he hid out

in a Toys R Us for

six months.

Yeah.

It's like, it's, and it's, you know, like,

you know me, I'm a dark idiot.

And so I keep waiting for this film to get like kind of scary and bleak and dark and crime.

And, but it's so, this, this film has such a great spirit and warmth about it, even even though it's centralized around a character that's, you know, breaking the law left and right.

And it's not like an overtly sort of Robin Hood thing where they kind of earn it all, but it kind of is.

But there's just such great, like, there's like a tone throughout it that, that Derek Sianfrance just like pulls through it that is just like such a high wire act.

That's so cool.

And Kirsten, you and Channing do such a great job of maintaining that too.

It's like, I don't know, I think it's just one of the hardest things in the world to

keep something winning and watchable all the way through.

Yeah, not be like sappy or corny or feel manipulative.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right.

It never gets earnest, although it's a very warm movie.

It's, I don't know, it's very hard to describe, but I highly recommend it.

It's really yeah.

And Kirsten, I love that.

I can't wait to see it.

Do you find yourself as

long as you've worked, kind of integrating yourself towards whether you get credit for it or not, a producerial kind of role when you choose your acting gigs, meaning

I like this part, I want to meet with the director or whatever it is, but I have these things to say about how to improve my role in it so that it works for me or whatever the thing is.

I mean, I did that on a TV show,

but I feel like it's

both those movies that I did, Roofman and this and the plane movie, were so developed that it's not really, you know.

Yeah.

You're just like, great.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I would have done anything with Derek.

Right.

So this isn't a part personally that I would naturally maybe gravitate towards, but I, but I wanted to, again, work with him for the experience.

Like, I just, yeah, that's.

Was it everything you hoped it would be working with?

Yes, yes, yes.

How about that?

Yeah.

That's so cool.

And that is.

I want to work with him again.

Yeah, Harry is a great guy.

I've never met him.

And Channing is just like the greatest.

I love him.

Right.

He is such a good.

He's a good dude.

Yes.

He's one of the real ones.

So, I mean, honestly,

and obviously, Derek is such a great filmmaker, and his movies are kind of little movies.

And when I say that, I don't mean in terms of, just in terms of like the, compared to some of these huge movies that get made these days that are all like based on IP and whatever.

He has these really great little story-driven movies that he makes with great characters.

Do you, and you've done all of, as we mentioned before,

you've got a great stance in both.

Yeah.

Now when you look to do stuff, so as you sit here and you're at home and Jesse's off working and you're thinking, okay, I'm going to do something, my next thing.

Do you have a plan?

Do you go like, I want to kind of hit this note next or do you just kind of wait?

I kind of wait, but also I'd like to do something fun.

Like I just want to have fun.

And I,

yeah, I want to do like a comedy or do something big and fun.

And what, and why, and, you know, that, like, that's the thing we talk about in the show sometimes.

Like, where are those movies?

Why do they not make those big, fun studio ensemble comedies anymore?

I think they will soon.

I think they have to.

Yeah, because the world around us is too dark.

Yeah, it sure is.

I think people just have to.

I think people are going to want to crave or going to start craving that.

I don't know when, but I think

that's a good action comedy next.

I think it, you know, sometimes, who I talking about this, like this idea that

when we're in times that are dark, people don't have as much of an

appetite for these big, sort of actiony, fun, pithy movies because they

because it's not where they're at.

And it's often a reflection of like, if everything sort of feels calm

in our culture, then we can just kind of go and do these big, goofy things.

And when it's not calm, it's hard for people to let go.

It's weird because you'd think that they'd want to have the escapism, but they actually don't.

Yeah, like scary movies are actually doing really well.

There you go.

Like weapons.

Oh my God, that movie's good.

Yeah, you love that weapons.

I do love that weapons.

I know.

Julie,

have you seen it, Kirsten?

In weapons?

I haven't seen it yet.

No.

Do you watch movies?

Go to Jason's house.

He's showing it about every two hours.

Yeah.

Do you watch movies, though, at home?

Yeah, do you like movies?

By yourself or with your kids or whatever?

I like going to the movie theater.

Yeah, and I'll take them to the movie theater.

If I watch a movie at home, I fall asleep.

Yeah.

Have your kids seen all the classics like E.T., Star Wars, all those things?

You know, they're four and seven.

Yeah, it's not like, but you know what?

My listener was seven when when Star Wars came out.

Hey,

shun.

She hasn't shown them Star Wars.

Don't you, man?

Fuck.

Okay, go ahead.

Sorry.

No, my four-year-old likes Venom, the first Venom, which I probably shouldn't have shown him.

That's so weird.

That's so weird.

And so is my little guy.

Oh, my God.

My five-year-old likes Venom, too.

I mean, we're probably not good parents for showing them, but whatever.

I saw the Exorcist.

I was like eight or nine.

Yeah, I saw it that young, too.

I should not be seeing that.

Also, my child was begging me, my four-year-old, to watch Jaws.

I was like, okay, Jesse and I showed him the first 10 minutes and tried to explain that the girl is being pulled around on a rope.

Yeah.

And now he won't go to the middle.

He's not getting eaten alive in the shark.

No, he went.

He went.

He did.

He still went.

Nowhere near Santa Monica here, though.

Well, listen, Kiers, I'm a taking away too much of your time.

You're such a delight.

I mean, I could talk to you guys for a while.

I know we could.

No, zero pressure vibes.

I'm coming over.

I'm coming over.

Great.

Come over.

Come have coffee with me.

Yeah, sometimes those interviews, they feel like

they're like 10 minutes long.

You chatted.

This is all very easy breezy.

I know.

Jason and I are coming to, we're going to stop by the house, and we'll drop off some In-N-Out for you on our way.

Yeah.

Thanks.

It's going to be hot as shit, too.

You know how to make a girl happy.

Yeah.

All right.

So

Roofman is out October 10th.

We're really excited about it.

October 10th.

Also, with the, as you called it, the airplane movie.

I forget what it's called.

You're going to come back for that.

I want you to be able to get it.

Yeah, entertainment system is down.

You can see that.

So many amazing things.

You've done so many great roles.

You continue to do it.

You're such a delight.

So happy to have you here.

Yeah.

A great person and a great mom and a great wife.

You're just doing it all.

Such a pleasure to meet you, Karen.

Me too.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

I mean, that was real special.

Real special.

Listener, you didn't see the bonus moment there with

the two young boys, and she finally opened up the door and let them in.

And they came in and said hi.

And Will did his Lego Batman voice.

And it blew their minds.

It was funny.

Really cute.

Really fun.

I love that.

So cute.

Yeah.

So cute.

So, so cute.

What a nice

nice lady.

You guys are cute.

You guys are really cute.

You got a couple of cutie pies out there.

Yeah.

Great career.

She's not even halfway done.

I know.

Oh, my God.

She's just getting warmed up.

Yep.

She's just getting warmed up.

She is so, I'm so excited for Ruth, man.

JB, you've already seen it, but I can't wait to see it.

It's going to be so good.

Yeah, I want to see it.

And then the entertainment system.

Let's see that other one.

I know.

I know.

Entertainment system is down because what would we do?

She's always good.

She's one of those people.

Always good.

Always good.

Everything she does.

Sean, you get that all the time.

Yeah.

I mean, and JB.

Hey, man.

You know.

No, no, no, no.

50, 50, 50.

50, 50, yeah.

Sometimes you're on and sometimes you're on.

Stand by.

Bye.

Bye.

Oh, that's so bad.
