"RE-RELEASE: Emma Stone"

I had a dream last night that it was the best episode we've ever done, so I couldn't sleep the rest of the night, got in here, fired up the old machine, and I'm now waiting on these guys, and I am loose. I got a little bit of a sweat going, the hammies are pliable, flexible, and the job muscles are ready to really ask tough questions, and giggle at my funny little friend Sean and Will. Guys, welcome to SmartLess. Hi guys, shut up Sean. I haven't laughed so hard as I did today, when we were standing on the street, we'd just come out of a meeting, the three of us, like adults, and Sean starts to say something, like he's doing right now, he undoes a top of a bottle of water and he's about to take his hip, and he's going to do it, and Jason slaps it out of his hand. So I reached down to grab it, because it falls at my feet, and I handed to Sean, and as he reaches for it, I just drop it right before he can grab it, and as it lands on the ground, Sean reaches down to get it, and Jason kicks it, and it goes flying, hits a curb and goes under a park like construction truck. It explodes, the top comes flying off, the water's everywhere. And I haven't laughed that hard. I failed because it was shocked. It was high school all over again. It was like, it was a little bullying. It made me laugh. It's got a lot of fun. Jay, did you like my cheesecake last night? Yeah. Now I would have liked it a little firmer, Sean. A little? Yeah, it was a little too fluff. You know, it wasn't as gooey as the last one, so I feel like we're making progress. No, I say this as a person, I can't even boil water. So the fact you cook anything is incredible. It's very impressive. But also, I didn't know, well, either that I've never made whipped cream in my life. I didn't know that you just pour half and half or whatever in a bowl. And you just start whipping it. My mind was there. I was like, Oh, do you think it's a good idea that you've now learned how easy it is to make whipped cream? I think so. I think you don't. I'm doing it tonight. Yeah. You missed out on a good cheesecake last night. Well, but then I found out then Sean told me that the secret ingredient that he's driving hour and a half for. Yeah. It was a British chocolate Cadbury white chocolate bar. No, not Cadbury. It was another brand, but yeah. Another brand that we're not going to mention, I guess. We can if you want. It's called Milky Bar. Well, we already mentioned Cadbury, so we're kind of committed, but there's a there's a is that is that a thing? Is that normal? That there's a white chocolate candy bar in most cheesecakes? Well, no, no. I just melted it to make kind of like the creamy part part. It was one of many ingredients, but it's, you know, you thought you tuned in a smart list. It's it's cook less this way. Baceless. Baceless. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was so obsessed with getting ingredients right. I drove an hour and a half to get it because they don't sell them in the United States. And what did he do? Well, when he got there drove to another country, when he drove an hour and a half away to get this to what did he do while he was there? It's like, huh, well, look, here's a here's a rare hamburger joint that we don't have near us. Yeah, portillo. That's why portillos to portillos. Yeah. And he put a big burger in his face and a shake to a bet. Yeah. I got a shake. It was a cake and I got fries on a shake and a shake for lunch piece of cake fries in a hot dog. And then when you are when you raise two beef sandwiches, one party. And this is when you were on the mission to pick up a school bus white chocolate. Yeah. Well, I had I picked up the white chocolate. Were you buying for all the kids in the school bus? No, I never get it. So he said I bought like a little extra stuff and I put I put in the fridge. I'll heat it up later. Good for you. Thank you. Guys, yeah, let's get started. Oh, wow, I thought we had. But this is really exciting guys today. You're going to freak out. Oh, it's your guest. It's my guest today. I'm so glad we got my favorite red-headed firecracker here today. She's a self-proclaimed computer nerd. And before becoming one of my all-time favorite full-fledged movie stars, she made people websites for free. In fact, at 14 years old, she performed a PowerPoint presentation titled Project Hollywood in order to convince her parents to let her drop out of high school. I moved to LA from Arizona to preserve her dreams of becoming an actress. Thankfully, that dream came true. So we could talk to her today. Her name is Emma Stone. Emma Stone. And Emma's a little under the weather. I'm a little under the weather. I can't believe you showed up for us. Did you get into a big pile of bad co-class, fine, Emma? You know what? You've been there, right? There's meetings for you. Yeah. Listen. We're saving a seat for you. I know. Thank you. I know. Home or in a hotel? I'm in a hotel. Sit or rehab. It's a whole new life for my first ever. Thanks for having me. I know. But Emma's been up for four days, listener. Emma, I don't think of you as a ginger, I guess, per se when I think of ginger. But you want to blonde right now. No, no, no, I'm not. I'm actually, I'm blonde. I have blonde hair right now. And I'm, and I'm, well, I was born blonde, but I was born hairless. But then I grew blonde hair. Okay. Hairless is my podcast. Sure. Give us the full. Bravo. The, yeah, I died. Yeah. You were red. Yeah. You were red for a while there. Yes. For a long time. I was so much so that people thought it was, it was that you were natural. Red. But I, but I'm not red. But wasn't it true? My mother's red natch. Yeah. Yeah. You had to be careful with that. I have a son. I have a son who's a natch. Ginger. Oh, yeah. We love a natch. Oh, my gosh. We ever love a natch. So filthy. It's from the very beginning. Wait, Emma. Didn't you get that natchy? Ginger? Hey, man. Do you need a second? Take a nap. I've been up for days. I'm so excited. You're on the show with us, Emma. Thanks for waiting. Didn't you die originally? Like when you moved here and you felt like you weren't getting part or something? I feel like I read something. And then you thought maybe your talent, which you're, you know, seeping talent that that was what I was telling everyone. Yes. And that's what I kept saying. Right. No, no, no. That hair. Right. Yeah. But you thought you had to dye your hair. Is that true? Yeah. I was, cause I moved to LA when I was 15. And so all of the, all of the things that I was auditioning for at that time were kind of, you know, like rolls for 15 year old girls at that time were a lot of girls that were very, I guess what I was up for was a lot of very blonde cheerleadery kind of rolls. And I didn't fit those very well. And so I thought if I dyed my hair brown, it would really set me up. Yeah. Yeah. And that go. You know what? Great. Jason. You got some nice parts. I didn't get any parts after that either. But a couple of years later, I auditioned for, um, for Super Bad. And, um, and I was at the, the camera test for that. And, uh, Judd Apatow said, well, maybe she could have red hair because the other girl in the movie, who's my best friend now, Martha McKisick, that brown hair. And so we dyed my hair red. And, and the rest was, you know, but was, did, is Sean's incredible research accurate? Were you really doing websites for people? Like, are you a computer person? I was in that, uh, kind of, you know, 90s computer format. I don't know if you guys know, you know, angel fire, geocities, that kind of world where you did a very primitive HTML. This is not coding by any of me. I would not, if you, in fact, I don't have a computer now. They lent me this computer to be able to do this with you guys. I'm like a neolud I know. But back then, I was very into the internet and learning about, you know, building drop down menus and things like that. I be primitive like 1998. Wow. What are you looking for? When you're out there, you're looking, what are you looking for in a drop-down menu? Now, see, that's the thing. Key, that's the thing. When you want somebody to step, and this keeps me up at night, if you want something, if somebody's looking to step into a really elite drop down, yeah, if you're, if you're looking for a great drop down, you're in the market. Now, okay, it needs to be clear, clear. We're not using any comic sands on my drop down. We're, um, we're hitting El Vedic a heart. You now are completely, uh, uh, you don't have a computer at all. I don't have a computer at all anymore. Come on. Wow. I really don't. What about a, what about an iPhone? I have an iPhone, but it's a very incredible new iPhone 15. I don't. I don't. Sean, uh, you want to get, yeah, you want to get rid of your old one? No, we're done with that. Cycles over. Thank God. We enjoyed our experience, but whole mama was very heavy rotation. Yeah. Sorry about that. Um, wait, so you do, but you do, do you do email off your phone then? I do email my phone and I, and I, uh, you know, just, just, I bet with my thumbs. - So no social media, I know nothing else. - No, not that. - Come on. - No. - That's refreshing. - Thanks so much. - No, I was thinking the yesterday. I said to a friend of ours, I says to him, I says. - Is this friend? - I says friend, I says. - Yep. - I said, you we should, imagine, imagine the reset this planet would get if we had no social media for six months globally. - Yeah, yeah, people do well. And reset would be incredible. - What do you think would happen? - Well, people would learn how to manage boredom, which I think is a lost talent. I know I've tried to teach my kids, like, it's okay if you're bored. That's actually another word for relaxation. Like, enjoy, take a breath. Being bored is okay. Like, not having anything to do with a red light or an elevator is a good time to kind of like, reintroduce yourself to yourself for a minute, you know? - Well, yeah, do you ever do that thing? And like, when you look at, I've been doing a lot lately, I don't know, where I look around and I go, everybody's on, every moment, if there's a down moment. And sometimes it's reflexive because people are nervous or, you know, insecure. - Yeah. But when you wake up in the morning, you don't have like a loop that you have to, or that you like to do on a computer. - Oh, this is good, yeah. - Well, but, what's your computer loop? - Well, you know, you hit the New York Times in your email and your calendar and you kind of get your shoes together. - I just do all that on my phone. - Okay. - So I'm probably actually on my phone more than people that have a computer. - But see, what I'm picturing here is that you've got no, no reason or excuse to get up out of the pillows. - Correct. - But you're still in the feathers. Will you reach over, you grab your phone. - Just in the foot, I'm just in a pile of feathers. - Yeah, you sleep in a pile of feathers for real, but an angel, what an angel, I'm down and like that. - Well, what's like with it yet, a nice desktop, you could get out and into the living room and join the world. - Get yourself a desktop, get it right. - This is a great opportunity for a new segment. I'm calling JB, walk us through it. - You don't want to follow my morning. All right, so Emma, which one of your rad projects are we going to talk about today? - We're going to, there's so many, but okay. So you answer that first. - No, I don't know. - Which one would you like to talk about? - I want to talk about childhood. I want to talk about all these good stuff. I want to talk about it. It was your birthday last week. Happy birthday. - That's thank you so much. - Good job. - Thank you. - I mean, lucky. Can we guess the age? - Oh, this might be mean, but sure, go ahead. - No, no, no, no, no, no. How about, I'm going to go with 24, 25. Will? - I'm going to get real. - Yeah, be real. - I'm not going to play some-- - Will and I work together when I was, I think, 19. - Yes, that's true, really? - That was a long time ago. - That is true. - You're going to win, then. So wait, then Sean, you go next. - Okay. - I was going to say late 20s. - That's very cute, Sean, and sweet. - True, I really don't know. - Are you truly North of 30? - I'm North of 30. - Oh, she is, she is 37. - Come on, 30, 35, you're the close by far. - Oh, really? - Yeah, 35. - 35, that's so young. - You don't look 37. I was just guessing based on what the information was. - Okay, well, sure, well, okay. - No, no, no, no, that's true. We did, we did, we did work here. That was a long time ago. - I know. - What was the job, do you remember? - It was called the rocker. - The rocker. - You didn't. - The rocker. - Wait, the rocker I still need to see. And what was the other one I said I need to see the other day? Hot rod. - All right, well, let's not go through my, Emma, go tell everybody who is in the rock. Nobody seen it. Who is in the rock? The cast is pretty hilarious. - It was Rain Wilson. - Yeah. - Jason Cedake is. - Yep. - You, Bradley Cooper. - Yep. - Fred Armason. - Yep. - You. - I need it. - Who directed this? - I mean, a guy named Peter Catanio who directed the full Monty. - Peter Catanio. - Okay. - And John Glazer. John Glazer. - Oh. - The great John Glazer. - We did Hot Rod. - We directed Hot Rod. Was that? - I keep it. - That wasn't your Moe, was it? - No, I keep it. - Yeah, gotcha. But the cast was pretty, it was pretty wild. - Yeah. - Yeah, we were in Toronto. - We were in Toronto. - And I feel like you weren't there for that long. I was there for a couple of months. - I was there for a week, maybe. - Yeah. - And what kind of part were you playing, Emma? - Well, I was playing the bass. I was in a band that was fronted by, it was sort of a school of rock adjacent, what do you say, Will? - Yeah, yeah. I would. - Kind of story. - Willy, what were you playing? - Well, I played the lead singer of a, of a hair band. - Yeah. - True story. - I guess that's like, you gotta take that. - Right. - And Bradley was the guitarist, and Fred was the, the bassist. - No. - But it was, but it was fun. But yeah, I mean, you have not, I'm trying to think, you just have not stopped working in doing awesome stuff since the moment I became aware of you. You've just been like, consistently just doing cool thing after cool thing, great film after great film. It's pretty remarkable. Not a lot of people. - I'm rare. - Yeah. - You haven't done anything as shitty as the rocker since the rocker is what Will is saying. - I've done way worse movies than the rocker since the rocker. Oh my God. - That's subjective. - Well. - Like that. - That's great. It is good. - Let's not go too deep through the IMDB era. I want to know, I met you once very briefly. You were so kind years and years ago, blah, blah, you never remember. I think it was at SNL. But I was like, oh my God, that's Emma Stone. And then so when I did my research for today, I didn't know that your name was Emily. I want to know these guys. I know why it's called Emma, but I want you to tell these guys why it's called, why you change it to Emma. And then I also want to know about your dog bakery thing that you worked at because I have a friend who lives in Arizona who has a company. It's a dog poop company. She picks up poop dog poop for, you just call her and she picks up Domen. But it was in Scottsdale. - Oh, that's where I'm from. - I know, that's why I'm here. - That's amazing. Well, my name was David. - Have you noticed there's been less dog poop around when you go home? - You know, now that you're on today. - And again, Shawn's friend. - I mean, it used to be absolutely everywhere. - But her gig is just, she's just a freelance. She just goes around town and she's looking for just spare poop that's unclaimed and under the dust. - You call it up, if you don't want to pick up your dog poop and she, it's called poop troll. Sherri's poop poop. - She was compensating her. - The city? - Her clients. - People who don't want poop in their lawn, man. - Yeah. - Wait, I'm with you. Wait, you call her just, so you just let your dogs kind of run free on your own lawn like all week and then poop patrol comes and gets everything up. - That's right. - The gardener comes over, picks up the poop. - Yeah. - Like, she's not even blowing the leaves and stuff. - Yeah, she picks up poop. - Huh. - Wow. - 30 jokes in there. (laughing) - I didn't know where to. - Well, it's kind of, I brought it up. It's such a funny job. You take a tight five and gather them and then go back to us. - But wait, a dog bakery, you worked at a dog bakery when you were a teenager? You okay? - I worked at dog bakery when I moved to LA when I was 15, called Three Dog Bakery at the Farmers Market. - At the Grove? - At the Grove. - I used to go there. You worked there? - Yes. For, well, I mean, not for long. For like, maybe six months. - Wow. - Wait, Johnny, this was pre-richy? - Yeah, this was years ago. Years and years ago. - This was why I was 15, it's 20 years ago. - Yeah, that's when I had my two other dogs. I used to go there to shop for them. - Do you think that we ever ran into each other then? - Probably. - Probably. - Huh. - I think, I think word would've got it out that Will and Grace's son Hayes was there. - I think you're right. I think I would've told everybody. - Guaranteed. - You probably had to share it with me. - Guaranteed. - Okay, so we, I must not have been working those hours. (laughing) - We'll be right back. All right, back to the show. Tell these guys why you changed your name from Emily Tama. - Well, it was, originally, my name was taken at Screen Actors Guild. - Right. - When I got my card when I was 16. - So it was an Emily Stone. - Wow. - And so I originally changed it to Riley, because what do you tell a 16-year-old that they can just change their name? - Right. - You pick a cool name. And so I was like, I'll be Riley. - Right number one. You could've changed it to Emma Middle Name Lee. - Emma Lee Stone. - Right, that you could tell. - I don't know if I could pull off being a three-nameer. - Fuck, is there any way you could call her 20 years ago? - Could you call me 20 years ago really quick? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, real quick. - Just one second. - We'll pause, and then we'll just. - That is a real thing though, right? That is a real thing though. All people who changed their names because of sack, 'cause there's already somebody. - Yeah. - Michael J. Fox, I think, was 'cause there was already a Michael Fox, right? - One of the great ones is, isn't. I feel like Michael Keaton is Michael Douglas. - Oh, wow. - Oh really? - And he changed his last name to Keaton because Michael Douglas was Michael Douglas. - Wait, I just learned, I just learned Albert Brooks's real name is Albert Einstein. I did not know that. - No. - It's weird to go. It's weird to go. - That's unbelievable. - His brother is Bob Einstein, you know, Super Dave Osborne. That was Bob Einstein, and that's Albert's brother, who was. - Anyway, I'm Alita Emma. - I'm Alita Emma, because. - Well, because you're trying to get to the Spice Girls, right? - Yes. - Yeah, she named Albert Einstein because that was free. - That's true, that one's free now. - Not being used anymore. (laughing) - Wait, so you went to Emma? - I went to Emma because growing up, I was an enormous, I mean, still to this day I am, but an enormous, an enormous, sorry, I'm slurring, from all of the, I've been up the four days. - You need to take a nap. - Yeah, I gotta take a nap. - Yeah, I was a huge Spice Girls fan. And there was Emma, who was baby Spice. - No way. - Crazy about her. - Yeah, really? - You have the opportunity. When I was in, you know, like, second or third grade, I asked the teacher to call me Emma, but they didn't, it didn't ever stick, but then I had the chance to do it permanently. And here I am. I love that. Have you met the spice girls since? I have. Oh, she know that. I've met the spice girls now. I think I think she does because she gave me a really special t-shirt that she had signed. It was like from one Emma too and now they're kind of thing. It was pretty cool. Did you keep it together? I did not keep it together at all. At all. But I will say the night before I met them, we were going to their concert in England when they, you know, had done, they did like a reunion tour a couple of years ago in 2019. And the night before I went to a party at somebody's house and the magician David Blaine was there. And he did a, just an astounding trick, you know. He did this card trick and then it was this whole thing and it was an illusion, an illusion. And he pulled up his phone and the card was reflected in a picture on someone's foot, you know, in the glasses of someone on a boat and it was this crazy thing. And I got so excited. Now this is a tale as old as time because I'm about to tell you a story from yesterday as well. I got so excited that I ran. I was like, I can't stand it because I'm such a big fan of magic and I couldn't stand it and I ran and I was wearing these, these heel boots. And I slipped on the wood floor the night before the festival's concert slipped. My arm went back out behind me and I broke my fucking shoulder. No, Blaine. In 2019, the summer of 2019, so the next day I'm supposed to go to the Spice Girls concert. And I was like, there is no way on Earth I'm missing this. So we got in England, one of these, you know, things from boots, the drugstore, this little sling. And I hadn't even gotten an X-ray yet and I went and I was in so much pain that actually meeting the Spice Girls under those circumstances was probably better so I couldn't do that in front of them instead. And you're excited. I was so tempered by the pain. It was so tempered by the pain that I was like, it's amazing to meet you guys. Oh my god. Like it was so brutal. It was broken in two places. And then yesterday I, I have bone density issues. That's clear because I broke my toe yesterday. No. I did. I did. Doing what? Getting out of the shower. Yeah. Yeah. Why you, why you should be lying down in the shower? What do you mean getting out? I know. Are you accident? You stopped it? I slammed it into something and now it's completely black and blue. I'm like all messed up and I sing it all day anyway. And you're sick and you showed up for us today. God bless you. Yeah. It's a dream. This is incredible. Are you kidding? I'm sitting on a computer with headphones. This is the last one. Half of one of those excuses would have made me cancel this thing. Got it. Just thinking. I was so excited for this. I would give anything for improved bone density. Yeah. Sorry. Just sidebar. Sidebar. Sorry. We need to take, um, what is it? Boniva or something? Yeah. There's some pill to help our bone density, but I've got seven bones. Before I was 30, I broke seven bones. Emma. Isn't that crazy? Wow. So then you seriously looked into this. You seriously do have those. Yeah. I have a, there's an endocrinologist was like, we got to talk about this, like something's up with you. Right. And did he come up with anything? Just that I need to take a lot of vitamin D and calcium and do apparently weight bearing exercises like heavy lifting is what creates more bone density. You could just drink milk and eat, uh, like dumplings from chin chin, like Sean, he says, he has a glass of milk four times a day. Is that? No, I have a glass of milk with dinner every night. No, you don't. I really do. Yeah. Why not? Yeah. It's good for you. That's great. Glass. It's good for you. It's fine. We used to sit at dinner drinking a glass of milk. Yeah. I sat a week ago. I had to stop. Are you just doing it to be adorable? Are you really enjoy it? No, he is. This is what he does. No, I, I, we know why you know why he lives, he lives like he's in the 50s. It's incredible. 12 year old. Because waters to boring and soda has too much sugar. So I just drink milk. Well, you know, they have zero sugar soda now. Not anyway. So listen, uh, I want to sit by the way since we're on medical stuff, I wish this was just a gallon of milk. But is it true because you have one of those cool like million billion dollar voices too? Is it true that you, first of all, didn't know you had asthma until you had an asthma attack while filming EZA, which I read? Yeah. And the other thing is did you really have a condition when you were a baby because you cried too much? Call it made your voice. Is that true? Yeah. Because you were colloquy that gave you rest people. That's like extremely colloquy for five months. Colloquy. Can you imagine now having a kid, I, I cannot imagine having a colloquy baby to that extent. Five five. What does that mean? Colloquy. Colloquy is, uh, apparently a condition where your stomach is killing you. Like there's, you're in a lot of pain. I can't, like everything I can talk about is just my medical. No, I know. It's fascinating. But here's what I think it is. It is, it is the, it is the, uh, intestines or a part of the GI tract that is still developing and unkinking itself. And there is a kick in the nose that is not, it still needs to grow, to release itself and it takes a couple of weeks and the babies are miserable. Misurable. Yeah. So it was like, if I was awake, I was screaming myself, horse every day. And I think it was very, very traumatizing for my parents. I see. You know, you know what's good for bone densities, those, um, those, the astronauts, you know that thing, the, the, the power plate thing that vibrates, that's supposed to be good for bone density. Oh, thanks. Isn't that kind of a 50s thing? Yeah, a little belt around you that she went over a glass of milk that was straight. I want to know, let's get to the career stuff because it's really interesting. Okay. Great. How would you hang on? How would you, baby? Let's just do a quick. How would you, baby? Two and a half. Ah, sweet boy girl. Girl. Girl. Oh, sweet. I didn't know that. That's so fantastic. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. With your husband who you met at SNL, did you meet him at SNL? Truly. What, what does he do with SNL? He was a writer/director there for about five years. Oh, nice. Doing digital shorts. And you met him there? Uh, I met him there. Yeah. But we had a bunch of mutual friends. So, yeah. So great. I love that. I feel like I was there that week too. Although you probably hosted a few times. I remember, I remember being there once when you were hosting and I was just like, oh, shit. You were rushing. I, guys, wait. Hold on. I'm gonna host on December 2nd. I get teched by five timers, Jacket. Oh, I'm so excited. I'm so excited. I can't even stand it. I'm like, I'm freaking out. You're so good at it. That's really, really cool. Wait, so, Emma, you and Dave married in the pandemic and was that just because it was planned that way and you just kept it or you're like, you know what? Let's just do this now. You were waiting for a pandemic, weren't you? Didn't you guys say you wanted to get married, but let's wait for a pandemic to hit? I read that somewhere. You turned the fat a little bit on the invite list? Yeah. You know, the week that I got married, I, I did open a refrigerator and the handle broke off and I got a plug. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. And that's where it stops. You know, I do need help. Oh, my God. I need a helmet and extensive. You got this new show with Nathan Field, or I want to skip ahead. I know she's your guest. Oh, yeah. But that looks really, I know she's your guest, but I'll take this one. It looks really fun. First of all, he's great and not just because he's Canadian, he's super funny. You're super funny. And when I first saw the ad for it, I was like, these motherfuckers and then they got one of those safties in there, put a wig on them, put a boom out of his hand and set go. This is like a fucking, this is like a fucking talent explosion happening in one thing. I'm so goddamn excited for this thing. I mean, I'm so excited for this. It's a wild ride. Now tell us about how did that come to you, to your orbit? So Nathan and I have known each other through, through Dave and Dave's best friend, Kyle Mooney. And Dave and best friends since they were nine years old. Oh, wow. Yeah. And so Nathan knew Dave and Kyle well, and I got to know Nathan for a couple of years. And then I think in 2020, 2019 maybe, Nathan called me and said that he and Benny, safty, had come up with this kind of loose idea for a show based on something that Nathan had really experienced where someone had said that they cursed him in a moment. And he was like, this probably isn't true, but he found that it haunted him. And they started coming up with this sort of premise of what would happen if you're kind of going about your life and they had this idea for this couple who is trying to create their own HGTV show. But early on, the husband, a little girl says, I curse you. And if that hangs over the premise of this whole show, and how that evolves and kind of makes them go crazy, whether it's real or not, and it just sort of spiraled out from there and became this this very intense show. It's really, it is a comedy, but it's kind of not a comedy. Kind of dark. Yeah. It's very, there's a lot going on there. So it was, you know, it was a blast. And we were in New Mexico for like half of last year shooting that and say the title again. The curse. Yeah, the curse. I see posters for it everyone. And say the title one more time. And one of the third time, I'm so the curse. I want to talk about, I want to talk about poor things too, which is a movie that you've come in. Oh, really, you're the most, I'm going to go see it this week. You are? Yeah. to see it. I'm seeing it's one of the screening because I'm going to be at those. Yeah, I'll see you there. I just got a text for it. Yeah. Oh, great. Was it me texting you to come? Do you go by Emma Stone? Oh, shit. Yeah. This is the second project with Yorgos. Yes. It was technically the third because we made a short film at the beginning of 2020. And then so, but it was, it was, yes, it was the second full one. He's so brilliant. Amazing. We made another one in the meantime. We made another willing New Orleans last year. No, really? We did with with with Willem. With Willem. Yeah, Willem's import things. Yeah, we've done two together. And so for my sister, Tracy, Yorgos did the favorite, the lobster, just a bunch of great kill sacred deer and credible dog too. So, which is yeah, it's a poor thing. So, so, so did you develop it? Did you find it like you're just getting off for like, how did that go? We, so, so, Yorgos and I did the favorite in 2017. And right as we were wrapping up the favorite, he told me about this book that he and Tony McNamara, who was the writer of the favorite, had had optioned and they were working on adapting. And he just told me the premise of it. And I was like, I, I beg of you, I have to do this with you. And so for the next few years, we worked on things and started kind of putting it all together. And any ask me to be a producer on it, which was amazing. And so we kind of like assembled this team. And then at the end of 2021, why do I keep saying all the dates? Yeah, I don't know. Because you're like, Will, you have incredible recall on dates. I do everything by date. So really? Month and year, yeah. You two everybody's birthdays. Do you forget a birthday? Can you forget a birthday? I can forget a birthday. But if you say like, hey, like, I can say like, oh, yeah, like, it was that time of year, that year. It was this month, March of 2023. He knows a difference between April of 21 and March of 24. But maybe I function similarly. Yeah, I'm busy. But anyway, so anyway. So we made it, we made it two years ago. And, and yeah, it's just, it's, it's, it's probably my favorite, my favorite thing I've ever gotten to do. Really? Yeah. Wait, so with you, you work all the time constantly. It seems like, which is great. And everybody can't get enough of you. And so when you go from, when you go from set to set, other than your child, do you have like something? How do you set it up? So it's home or how do you set it up? So it feels like, all right, I need to have at least this, this, this in this in my trailer, or this, this, this with me. What a fun question. I'll tell you, I'll tell you three things that always keep me company, no matter where I am. Coke? App. Sorry. Big play to Coke. Just the guy, you got to get through it. I think I'm sad with the idea that I'm on Coke just because I'm on cold medicine. Oh, yeah. Go with it. You know, just suffer in through this on cold medicine. She's here on her own. I have a broken, broken foot. I'm near a dance. I know, I can't believe it. Um, no, I, uh, apples and peanut butter. Really? Really? Every day for a snack, I've apples and peanut butter. Every day I have a Starbucks coffee. Doesn't matter where I am. Could be in the greatest coffee places in the world. You're up wherever. Doesn't matter. Find a Starbucks. And what's your choice? A coconut me. What is it? A coconut one? Listen, they make you say me. Still, but you know, the Starbucks lingo where they make you say these things. It's a venti coffee, just a regular filter, coffee, drip coffee, a large with steamed coconut milk. Okay. And that's the, that's the me. Still part. That's the me. So that's not a latte. It's not a latte. No, because it's not a espresso. So you have apple. By the way, I have peanut butter and rice cakes always every day. Well, that's my treat. That's my snack. That's your treat. Yeah, that's my snack. I can feel like in a minute. Peanut butter and rice cake. I love that. That's a healthy treat. It's not like you go and get all the twizzlers from the, why do you guys go with just the apple or just the rice cake? Why do you need to spread all the fatty peanut butter gives you a little hit of protein and that's right. Big head of joy. I like the peanut butter with the apples. It's delicious. Sean explained for it. Not for trace, but for Jason. What joy is it's another kind of peanut butter. Not for, or no, that's jiffy. Emma, like when I, you were so fucking phenomenal in the favorite, and you won for the favorite, right? No, she did. No. No, no, she was, she was, she was fantastic, though. Thank you so much. She nominated. Wait, but what was that? You want an nomination? That's what I meant. Did you really not win the, I can't remember. You did win. Not for the, not for the favorite. No, what would you win? Did you win for law? Oh, that's right. Well, yeah. I'm so, I'm not going to be too. God, you're so good. It's a totally embarrassing thing to have to sit here and say. No, not for, not for that one. No, I want to know. I asked. I want to know everything. But wait, the favorite was yours. My mom says I'm always a winner. Yeah, and always her favorite. Exactly. Exactly. But was that because when I, when I've seen that movie, when I watched that movie, I was like, oh my god, this just looks like a colossal amount of work that movie, the favorite. Like, it just looks so grand and so massive. That's just because a lot of it was in that fish, I lens. That's what makes it look so grand. All right. You know what I mean? That's a little trick of the trade. That was in England. Yes. That was in England. And Lala Land was here in Los Angeles. Lala. Yes. Favorite. Favorite. Such a good movie. I just wanted to come apart from the work that, you know, these guys were so tired. But I, I, that movie was so good. I must know. We'll be right back. And now back to the show. Was that that one of the hardest things you've ever done that, but what was the, what's the hardest one you've ever done? Oh, God. Physically, emotionally, both whatever. Lala Land had a bunch of stuff in there. Oh, yeah. The hardest thing I've ever done was on stage. Yeah. Mm-hmm. By far. Sean loves stage stories. I do. You know I do. Well, I've only done one professional stage show. What went wrong? Like 10 years ago. Oh, you want to, what went wrong? I want to like a bad theater story. Well, but here's, I did, I did Cabaret. And I only did it for three and a half months, which is so short by, by stage terms. But enough. I thought, I truly going into it. I was so beyond excited. It was, it was probably the greatest experience in my life for the same reason. And I was like, Oh, you just do it at night. And then you do two shows a day. And Wednesday, you do two on Saturday. And it's just, and then you're a home. And you're, you're, your entire life is eaten. And it is so hard. You have to live like a monk. Like there's nothing at least I did because I lose my voice and I just sing. And it was like, I've, I've never experienced something that, that physically taxing as an actor. Yeah. It was, it was unreal. I'm sure. I'm sure. That was the hardest. And when you, when you, but did you do anything go massively wrong? Do you have like any kind of night where you're just like, Oh, shit. My voice, nothing came out when I sang. Oh, oh, yeah. I mean, I would have to take steroids multiple times. Like, no, yeah, no heart attacks in the house. Thank God. But that's there. There are a lot of those stories. But that, no, I, I just to add to my, you know, things that are wrong with me. I'm extremely blind. Blind, blind is a bad. Okay. And I wear a context for that. And they both popped out of my eyes while I was singing. Maybe this time. And there's, and it cuts to really been reaching for a note. It cuts, it's really, yeah, I'm always reaching for those notes. I'm not a singer per se. And the, and the lights went dark and you have to, you know, go off in the, in the blackout. And I couldn't see a thing in the world. And I just went and like slammed it. It was terrible. That getting off stage, not being able to see it all is. And then I couldn't find the contacts, right? They were on the floor. And they couldn't find it. But I know I always bring spares. I have to travel with spares. Yeah. It's very great. If you did the rest of the play with glasses on, what'd have been great? Came back out with glasses. Yeah. All of it has, it gives me so much anxiety. But when, when you, I always had a fear shot of getting hiccups on stage. Yeah. Oh my God. That's a great. Have you had hiccups on stage? No, but I had one thing where I had like allergies and I could feel the post nasal dripping the back. And it was right before I had a sing. What do you get when you fall in love? You know with Christopher. Yeah. Sure. And I was literally like, what? Oh no. Like forever. Oh God. It was the worst panic tears because I couldn't cough. But I had to act like I was everything. It's still I have a million. Okay. I'm about to tell you guys something that I think that you're not going to enjoy. I know Jason's not going to enjoy this. Oh no. What do you do when you get? I'm going to ask you guys for me. I'm going to go around to the panel here. What do you guys do when you get the hiccups? You have like a sure fire. I don't have one. I have a cure. I have a cure. But people tell me that I'm wrong. But if not if you do it, right? Okay. Here's the thing. Yeah, you don't scream at people. This is the salt. Pull your arm up above your head. Just take one arm. Put it up above your head. Well, just because I'm right handed. So if you're, if you're left handed, you could do it. Drivers don't do this. You take your don't do it if you're driving. Now take water. And you're going to, and I'm talking like tiny sips. You go swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow as you lower your arms slowly. Well, nothing's going to happen because none of, look at all of it. Listeners. We're all doing it. Well, we're just practicing. Listeners, we're all doing it. We're practicing. - I'm telling you, it is 100% incredible. - I feel incredible. - If you're doing correctly. - Really? - I feel amazing. - What do you guys do? - I. - Nothing. - I wish I had something. - It's like a deep breath. - For this? - And I kind of let it feel it kind of go away and then I take water while I'm holding my breath. - It seems to work. - I've never told anybody this. This is absolutely true. And I can't believe I'm telling it. - I'm ready. - Anytime I get the hiccups. And I remember one time vividly. Years ago, our buddy Edgar Wright did this thing called Don't. It was like a fake movie trailer between. There was a good double bill like a Robert Rodriguez film or whatever and he made this fake trailer and I did the voice for it. Anyway, I remember going to record the trailer voice 'cause I'd do it. Don't even breathe, don't even blah, blah, blah. I did this whole thing, right? It was in the West Village at this recording place. And doing the thing and I'd had a soda, I think. And I got the hiccups 'cause I was taking in so much air. And I was like, what the fuck? This is where I learned it. And I was like, just give me a second. I just got to, 'cause I'm like hiccuping on, you know, trying to record. And I go into the bathroom and I stick my finger down my throat and I make myself gag and throw up a little bit. - Yeah. - Yeah, gone. - Gone. - I get it. - I get it. - I came back out and I finished and that's what I do every time when I get hiccups, now I go, excuse me. - I get it. - That is disgusting. - Will you just cut that thing? - There's a better way, Will. - I don't know. It works. - Do you fully throw up or do you do gag? - Ew. - Well, it depends on where I'm at, you know what I mean? - Do you think of that much that you'll just make yourself puke? - I hate hiccups. - But this was, were you just gambling that this would work or is this something you'd kind of read about? - I was just gambling, I had no idea. I just did it. - Wow, that is. - I did not know this. You have a tattoo on your arm or your wrist or somewhere? - My wrist. - I wanna see. - That's a very, very, very poorly done tattoo. Look at this. Now this was supposed to be, I just want you to understand. This was based off of the drawing that was drawn with a pencil, okay? - It looks like birdfeet. - Does that look like a pencil? - Is it a canvas? - It's birdfeet and it bleeds out more and more every single year. I got it 13 years ago and it just keeps spreading. In 20 years, this is just gonna be. - What kind of half-ass tattoo artist? - Were you in a French prison or something? - I went into just kind of a random tattoo place on 14th Street and I was, yes. - Why didn't you consult with the sleeveless one? He could've hooked you up with a great tattoo artist. - And now I've gone to good tattoo artists and said, can I get this lasered off and read down? And they were like, your skin is so thin there that it's probably just gonna look like your burn. Like it might be worse. - Oh really? - So wait, and your mom got the same one? - My mom, my dad, my brother. I mean, the story behind it is so special but it was like, and theirs all look great. - By the way, 'cause they all went to better tattoo people and I'm the one who's to cover it up for work every day and it's like raised up. It's really. - Don't you hang out with Thoreau just a little bit? - No, I know Thoreau. - Okay, so he could've hooked you up with somebody with maybe a better needle. - I didn't know him then. - Yeah, yeah. - This was 2010. - I love that your whole family has it, though. - Any thoughts on Justin? - This was October of 2010, Will. - I love that. - You remember? - I love that, I love that. By the way, I wasn't gonna say it before but when we shout the rocker, it was June of 2007. Okay. - I know. (laughing) - That's so crazy. - I know you know, I know you know. That is, Jason brought up a good point. Any thoughts on Thoreau and by the way, this is a safe space. - Anything hurtful that you can think of. - Another segment we're introducing. - Well, you know, he suffers for maxima. - There we go. - Is he really? - That's why he doesn't wear sleeves, 'cause he's proud and he wants to show it. - That's right. - No, that's not true. - That's right. - Is he a sky-rizzy guy? - I don't know if he really does suffer for maxima. It's just, you know, we've had a lot, we've had skincare conversations. As I'm sure you can see. - You know, we once put on his Wikipedia page that he cries when he orgasms. It's true. (laughing) - Kill someone. - Did someone take it off? - He did. - He did. - He did it like an overlay. - I guess he got an alert or something. Yeah, Kimmel knows how to break into someone's Wikipedia page. - He put it there. - The wrong person to know how to do it, too. - Yeah, I love that. - Will you guys put something on my Wikipedia page? Don't put that one, put something different. - No, yeah, we'll put you in the frame. - We're gonna put cries when Justin threw orgasms. (laughing) - Please, please, don't put that. - It would be funny to see a long life. - It would be funny though. Can I ask you about early, because you have a brother, right? - I have a younger brother. - You close with your brother? - Very, yeah. - Oh, that is he in the business. - This is the two of us. No, no, he works in like a tech company. - And growing up, was he interested or no? He was like, you do that. I'm gonna go over here. - Not at all. He played football. - Where was home? Where did you grow up? - Scottsdale, Arizona. - With the poop, with the poop. - Remember earlier, there was the same conversation. (laughing) - Yeah, how long have you been talking? - Remember from before, it was like 20, five. - What did you say? - What did you say? - He said, "Oh, I'm earlier." (laughing) - And good thoughts, good feelings about Arizona. Do you miss it out there? Is there a family out there? - Yeah, I still have a family out there. The thing about Arizona is it's so hot. It's so oppressively hot. - Yeah. - It's difficult to, you need to be built for that kind of heat. And I'm not. - It's not a fun heat. It's not a fun heat at all. It's like 120 degrees daily. - Yeah, absolutely. - We're gonna end up, I wanna ask you this, because we're gonna end up industry business question. - I love a bus, a bus kid. - I love the business tree. I love the business tree. - I love the heat, I love the buzz. (laughing) - When you, you know, a lot of people who win an Oscar like you did for La La Land, they, you were amazing, so deserved. I love that movie, I loved you in it. Did you, a lot of people who win, sometimes it's known as the curse of death with some actors. But you first of all, I should ask, are you guys locked? Or before I give you these? - Are you picture locked on La La Land? 'Cause you got the Oscar, great. - But a couple of things. - Were it me? (laughing) - And it's just tried a little harder. - I got some, I got some notes. - Yeah, I got some notes. - I was gonna say, how did you, were you nervous, did you have anxiety? You're like, oh my God, this is so great, I won the Oscar. But did you, did you feel like, I don't know, a lot of the times some actors who win Oscars, you kind of don't see them for a lot, like years and years and years. Were you, did you have anxiety about like crap I won, now people are sick of me? - No, no, no one even felt that way. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, but just like, what kind of a psycho? - You first thought it. - Now I put that out there in the world. - Why didn't you, okay, so now? - Okay, Sean, would you tell us how you feel? - No, Sean, no, not Tony. - No, not Tony. - Wow, okay. - That was your saying, you're walking up your face to get the Tony. - Okay, Sean, that's my list, I know how he feels about me. - Sean, thanks for having me today. - I'm not, I'm not. - I came out wrong. - Is it? - What I meant was like, did you have anxiety about like, I'm not gonna work, people are like, people think, must think like, oh, we, you made it. - I left, I left, that this was a very lucky situation, 'cause I had, I met Yorgas while we were filming La La Land, and I left the day after the Oscars to go shoot the favorite. - Oh, that's great. - So it was kind of amazing, 'cause the next day I went right back to work and was back in. - Did you have time to renegotiate your deal on your way to the location? - Yes, so that was, I did delay my flight for a couple hours just to call, just to call my lawyer, but. - By the way, that was re-open just a salary portion. - For some new deal points that I'd love to. - No, but by the way, and that was a big compliment, is what I know become like, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. - How many great, 'cause you've been nominated, I'm sure, a million times for lots of great-- - I think it's a million, a million, yeah. - Lots of great awards. Do you have, do you have a bunch of great, unused acceptance speeches? - No, what? No? - I bet you do. - No. - But I bet you give some thoughts and respectful time and some thought to what you would say up there. You're not one of these in-grades that would just, ah, if I win, I win, I'll just go up there and wing it. But you've got some fun stuff that you said. My dream is to have like a book, a coffee table book of people's unused acceptance speech. - That's a great idea. - That's a really good idea. - Yeah. - Maybe you should, maybe you should start compiling. - You have to be anonymous though, wouldn't it? - Well, right, the people with this-- - Yeah, 'cause I guess it would be, but then how do you do an anonymous acceptance speech? If everyone would know who it was, like the people they're thinking. - What were you gonna say for the rocker? - Yeah, if you had gotten up there for the rocker, what would you think first? - Probably just Will. - Yeah, well, good as Will. - Thanks for being our guest today. - I don't even know. - Thanks for having me. - No, but you think you got nominated for, you got nominated for Lola and what you won. You got nominated for the favorite. - Favorite, right? - And you got nominated for talent. - The Birdman? Is it the Birdman? - Yeah. - Yes. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And you had to work with Galvanakis. - Oh God, I know. - You have that. - You have that. - Is there a less talented guy in showbiz than Zach Alphanakis? - You know, from your lips to God's ears. - I know. - I couldn't agree more. - He was so sweet anyway, yeah, no, he really has this. - What are you gonna do for us tonight and are you watching Golden Bachelor? - No, what's Golden Bachelor? >> I love that answer. >> What is gold a bachelor? >> It's a bachelor, but I don't need to know. You should never know what it is, Emma Stone. This is why you are you, because you don't know. >> I'm just out here breaking bones, getting sick, not watching gold and bachelor. Well, now I'm going to look it up a lot. >> You went through a phase. Sean went for a phaser as breaking bones, right? >> Yep. >> Early 20s, Chicago. >> Hey. >> Oh God. >> Hey, Emma, cool it, all right? >> Okay, sorry, sorry about that. Sorry. >> Emma Stone, we're going to let you go. We're going to let you heal. We're going to let you get better. We're going to make you feel better. I'm going to send some soup over. >> You don't need to send anything. >> All right, good. >> It'll be okay. Great. >> I want to do that. I'll just save myself. I'll call to my assistant. So, thank you guys for having me. I'm sorry. I was such a-- >> What are you talking about? You're incredibly fast now. >> Huge, huge fan. Huge fan. You're the best, such a massive fan, you're a-- you're a-- you're a-- you're a mega talent. >> Yeah. >> Mega. >> Yeah. >> True, true. >> You guys-- >> Emma Stone. >> Emma Stone. >> Emma Stone. >> Emma Stone. >> I love Stone. >> Yeah. >> All the best. >> Feel the best. >> Hey, Emma, one thing, I want you to remember one thing. >> Yeah. >> And I hope you've lived by this credo. You can always say this to every, any guy. If you want to be my lover, first you got to get with my friends. >> Thank you. >> Thank you so much. >> I will take that with me. >> Okay, I got it. >> You're welcome. >> You're not knowing that that was the Spice Girls Lyrics. >> Well, imagine one of the more painful things. >> Well, imagine what I thought, because I didn't know it was a lyric. I just thought he was just saying that stupid, crazy sentence. >> No. >> Like what? >> I was trying to connect with him. >> Did you just call the Spice Girls stupid and crazy? >> Oh, well, you're not a lyric if it was just as good by sentence for a podcast interview. >> And this is where I log off. >> What about when James Cameron, when James Cameron won the Academy Award for Best Director of Titanic, I had not seen the movie, but when he walks up on stage, he says, I'm king of the world. >> Did you say you've never seen Titanic? >> At the time I had not seen it when I saw him go up on stage and say I'm king of the world. I got, oh, no. What did he just say? >> I've never seen it. I know. >> Yeah. >> Oh, my God. Because he got a lot of homework to do. Jason's listening to want to be by the Spice Girls. >> Well, you're watching Titanic and Sean, just get Ricky, you know. >> Fix your cat. >> Get him a little fix. >> Fix your cat. >> How much? Thank you for being so. >> Thank you. >> Bye, thank you guys. >> Feel better. >> Thank you. >> Bye. >> Bye, bye. >> Good night. >> Sean, you were right. Great. >> She didn't wash. She was sick. So nice for her. >> Sick. Sick is a dog. >> This is worth. You know, when we do these late night records, it's, you know, the stakes are high that be a good guest and you know, by the way, for the record, it was a 4 p.m. record. So when you say late night, for most people, they'll have a different, okay. But the other thing is, I will say this, and this is a compliment to you, JB. Not even a fucking, I'm not, there's no punchline. She has a great work ethic. Like a lot of people I know who started young in, who were young as actors, direct, whatever. She has that same thing and you have that same thing. Which is, she's sick, blah, blah, blah, blah. In all the years I've done stuff with you, I've never known you to call in sick. >> Not fucking once. >> Yeah. >> Oh, there was plenty of times when I'd clear my day when it was 3 a.m. and I was still having fun. >> Yeah, back in the day. >> Back in the day. >> Back in the day. Back in the day. >> Except when you blew your collar out when we were doing that fight scene on the rest of the dog. >> You did. >> We've fought too hard. You broke my colon. >> I know, that's true. But anyway, she does have that great thing, she's always just a god, she's so good, you always, when you start listening off the stuff that she does and they're all so different, you're like, yeah, I miss those. >> When an actor is never sucked, that's, that's something. >> She's in that category. >> Yeah. >> She's in that never sucked. It's, I, I always say John Goodman number one, he's the first guy I was thinking of when I think never, has never sucked. And she's in that category, there are a few people who fall into that category and she's one of them. >> Yeah, she's incredible. >> I didn't get to ask her about, I want to talk more about La La Land about how she talks. >> Yeah, get ready well. >> Next time, next time, next time. >> Honestly, nobody better. >> Here it comes. >> Who's got it? >> Yeah, it, well, I love Birdman too, you know. >> Yeah, here it comes. >> Oh, you know what I also like to ever see by, by, by, birdie, I couldn't even do it. >> I couldn't even, I couldn't even, I couldn't even, I'm Chris, you're going to do that. >> You're fired, John. >> Oh, by, by, birdie. >> Wait, wait, wait. >> It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's too, you're too, I see, it's too late. It's too late to even come up with a buy. >> Well, I was going to say this, I love that she got her name from the baby spice because she's such a fan of the spice. >> This guy. >> That's good. >> That's good. >> I will do. >> Bye, everybody. >> Bye. >> Bye. >> Hey, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart, smart,
