We're gonna get into it. We're gonna talk about her love of physical comedy. We're gonna find out her favorite German word and I'm gonna try to guess what it means. We're gonna talk about what a nightmare it is

to stand next to Nicole Kim in on a red carpet. And we are gonna talk about her new movie, Practical Magic 2 out this week. It is great, check it out. She is incredible, we are lucky to have her.

And we always do this at the beginning of our episodes.

We talk well behind our guests back and we find somebody who knows our guests and wants to give me a question to ask them. So we are joined today by two of her co-stars from Practical Magic who play her daughters in the film

and great, incredibly talented actresses in their own right. Joey King and Maisie Williams. Hello, ladies. (upbeat music) This episode is brought to you by Uber.

- Look at who I'm getting it talked to double trouble. - Right over here. (laughing) - Wait, don't you dare. Wait, take us with you. Who is it? (laughing)

- My husband's answering. You know what I think?

“I think it's part of his anniversary present.”

I got him just arrived. Right, right at this moment. - Oh my gosh, what did you get him? Tell us we won't tell anyone. (laughing)

- I got 'cause it's our three year wedding anniversary. He's right over there. You're gonna hear what I got. It's fine, you're just going to the other room. (laughing)

I got three years of letters.

I got him a really nice leather carry on. Like, and someone's delivering it to the house? That's fancy. - Well, well, I got it shipped 'cause-- - Okay, okay, so it's just someone who shipped it.

Okay, got it. I thought it was like a white glove service where like a Butler is delivering a leather carry. - I want my bag to have a Butler. (laughing)

- Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry if we ruined the surprise, but that was exactly what we get excited when somebody rings the door. - Sorry someone rang the doorbell. - Who rings a doorbell anymore?

Like, did you know, like, when we had this happen on the show when we were with Rachel Drecherch? - Yes. (laughing)

- Amy, we know. We, you know. (laughing) We love the best. I, that clip comes up on my feet all the time

and I watch it. Just I watch it full through every time I see it. - Joey King, Macy Williams, I just want to say, I love and have watched everything you guys have done. When I saw that you were in this in practical magic too,

when I saw that you were the daughters in the film, I was like, okay, okay, we're going heavy hit or here. We've got a four top of real heavy four top with my soul and Sandy in YouTube, like incredible.

- Oh, oh, my God. - Also, you're crushing it on TikTok. - We love many TikToks. - We really do. - TikToks are so good.

Oh my God, it makes me so, like I feel, I'm like blushing that you watch them. - No, Joey, you've been on TikTok for a minute. - Me? - I've been there.

- I've been there for a minute. - In their wild.

“- Yeah, they're there for COVID, I believe.”

Which is the birth, my sister got me on TikTok. I remember to promote one of the kissing booth movies. She was like, you've got to get on TikTok and start dancing and I'm like, you're so right, so I'm just, whatever you say.

- Yep, and now here we are. I feel like I've been watching you guys and we pressed for this movie and it's been very cool to watch not only, like I've said, very talented women get to do something very special

together, but it does feel like you are all really enjoyed working together. - Yeah, it was so much fun. It was kind of crazy. It was a year ago to the date that we finished, I think.

- Right, Joey, you're right. - Yeah, it was, we spent the whole summer together. It was beautiful. And then doing all this press together has just been like such a dream.

- Just a life thing, I'm actually. - Yeah, much, so much gigalling. Macy's like my favorite woman beverage. So this has just been like the greatest joy to make such a close friend through this film

Every two, you know, they always are like,

what spell would you cast and press if you had it? It's cast one spell on my answer every time. I was like, I just want Macy to live closer to me. (laughing) - How would we close my eyes living in a label?

- We were literally in the waiting room to come on here and we're just texting, we're just can't stop communicating. (laughing) - Macy, play your cards right in a leather briefcase

will be a hand delivered to your door in just a few years. - Okay, so we're talking, I am talking to Sandra Bullock today. Who I really don't think I have met.

- Okay. - I mean, I am of the age where we may have met and I forget, but I don't think so. And we've never really properly met. What was your first experience meeting Sandy

and what do you love about working with her and should I call her Sandy right away? - I feel like, yes, okay.

“- You should just walk straight in with Sandy.”

- Okay. - I feel like she'd love it.

- And she always did that part by her.

- She immediately offered me some Harry Bowie thing which was just like broke the ice which was lovely. And it was at the re-through. - Just to be clear, that's a gummy bear.

- Yes, a gummy bear. - Got it. - Right, important to make that distinction. - Yes, and she texts us immediately. It's your mother here.

Like how she gets off. - Oh my God. - Oh my God. - Take your mother, it's your mother. - It's your mother.

- And she just like ever since has just been, like a mother to us on Sandra's been so special. We went for a little sleepover at her house. It was gone. - We tell us the same more about that.

What do you mean before you started shooting, you did? - No, it was like, after a night shoot. After a night shoot, we went there. We had a little cocktail. I was like six o'clock in the morning.

“And then stayed over in her little cottage.”

And then the next day, we got to go in the hot tub. We raided her fridge and they all refused. She had to go with work. She left us in the house. And then this is like a and found the sofa watch, like YouTube.

It was nice. (laughing) - It was so nice. I mean, she's just the best. She's such a nurturing spirit.

She's like, she's one of those people who, you know,

she says that she'll always be there for you.

And she's like, really means it. Like, she'll answer the call anytime, any day. I've texted her in distress before me. Like, I need your advice on something and she's like calling now.

And so, and that's just such a, she's such a girl's girl and also just like, I don't know. She's just, I'm so amazed by her and her. And everything she's been through and she handles herself with so much grace and elegance.

And I just, and she's, she's just so hot too. - I know, she's so hot. - She's so hot. - It's a lot, like it's a lot.

“It's hard to ask somebody, like, why are you so hot?”

- I think you have to. - That'll be my first question. - Why are you so hot? - Why are you so hot? No, but she has this thing.

I mean, we've been, like, you know, we get ready for our guests and we're like reviewing their body of work. And her body of work is so diverse. It's incredible.

She has been in a space-moviet gym. Then it's made 'cause I'll end all her. She has done, like, really deep intense drama. She's done horror. She's done incredible physical comedy.

She's been done hugely successful romance comedies. She's done, she can do it all. How does she like to work? And what was it like working with her in this film? - I mean, I love watching her.

She's almost like a physical comedy scene. She's re-building it. She'll get to that early, like, sure her son her own. She'll, like, block with supporting artists and, like, she'll build it and build it

and each takes, she'll, like, add something more. But it's like she's constantly finessing one idea. And it's, like, so amazing to watch. And it's like, really nice to watch someone doing something that seems so off the cuff and so natural.

But they're like, yeah, they've thought about it a lot and they know what props they wanna have and they, and, like, I just, I liked to see that on set. Like, it was a peak behind the curtain because everything she does is so funny.

And it seems so natural and seems just so in the moment. But like, it takes a lot of work for her to do something that she's, like, really happy with. And we got to watch that time and time again on this movie. She's also just a really great, generous actor too.

Like, there is just some stuff where we had where it was, like, really emotional for either me or Nicole and, like, the way that she would support us when it was, like, our turn to have, like, a really tough moment or a big moment was so, just beautiful.

And it's, like, inspiring and so special. Because she takes her job so seriously

to so seriously. - I ask, the people that I get that have the pleasure to zoom with if they have a question for my guest. And I was curious if you think there's anything I should ask her today on your behalf.

- I think she's got such, like, there's not such a lack of vanity to the way that she approaches physical comedy.

“And I think it's really, like, I get very self-conscious.”

And I know that there are times in her life

where she feels self-conscious, but it's never in front

of the camera. It's always seems like it's never in front of the camera. And I just, like, has that always been just instinctive or is that something that she's, like, crafted? Like, if she's feeling self-conscious,

how does she get out of it? Like, I just, like, really, I really want to know how she back up. - I love that question, Maisia. - I think that's such a good question.

- Okay, and what's your showy? - My question for Sandra is, I wanna know when the last time she just quietly thought to herself, does it get any better than this? Like, what's the last moment she had

that was so does it get any better than this? - Oh, that's such a beautiful question. And it's gonna also help her get back to that moment. That's a really generous question. - I'm excited to watch the episode

'cause I'm excited to, like, see where she goes mentally with where she arrives. I think it'll be special. - No, that's a great question. You guys are so smart and talented.

And the future, you're the future. So we're in really good hands.

- And I'm always said that.

“And we all know that the future looks incredible”

and there's nothing to worry about. - Yeah, literally, it's perfect. (laughing) - These are perfect. (laughing)

- Well, thank you so much for your time. I know she'll be thrilled that I talked to you both. And I bet she's got the warmest things to say right back to you. So thank you guys so much for doing this.

- We love you, Amy. Thank you for having us. - Thank you so much for having us. - Thank you so much, such a pleasure to meet you both to get you in the stewed.

- Yes. - We would love. - Great. - Me too? - Okay, bye.

- Yes, we did. Very, very excited. - Thank you for buying. I know you're in the middle of a lot of talking. - I am super excited because I'm excited

to be in the company of your brain. - Truly. - Same, and your sweaters are shenanigans. - It's from the phone. It's something Aunt Jets says.

- And let's start there. - Okay. - Because when I was thinking about how to start this interview, which I've been very excited for. We were just talking about the fact that you really can do

so many things well. And how tiring it must be to be good at so many things. - You know what is? - You're like, your physical comedian, you're an incredibly successful producer.

You can do really deep, meaningful things, big and small. You've been in huge hits. You've been in small... - Small stinkers. - Huge hits.

- You've been in big. - Huge hits, you've been in things people don't choose. - Don't like. - Yeah. - And you've wasted that.

- Yes. - Did I? - But you are, to me, you have what Lucille Ball has. You have what Carol Burnett has. You have like a physicality, you have timing.

What did you guys laugh at in your family when you were little? Because you have really interesting creative parents. - I'm really interesting parents. - Had their debt.

- So they're up here. - Yes. - My mother was German. - Right. - So right there.

- Did she laugh at it? - Not funny. - I really did not have a sense of you, which actually makes you want to challenge that on a daily basis. - Yeah.

- My father was from Birmingham, Alabama, English, Irish, French,

So he had a rhythm of his own.

“But I really think I got it from trying to break my mother.”

- Because she was trying to break me.

- Yeah, by making a laugh, it was always when I hurt myself

when I fell. So which kind of goes in the hand. - Go to the hand in the shirt. - You laugh hard. - She would laugh so hard and I went.

My mother didn't laugh a lot. So to get joy out of her was everything. My dad, I had, I had in the pocket. But my mother really was someone that I knew wanted to laugh and need it, but when I finally found it,

it was like, it was my little ace in the pocket. She was a tough audience. - Was there any American stuff that she laughed at that she liked when you were younger? Do you remember her laughing at anything

or any linking any pop culture American TV? - We didn't really have a lot of TV in the house. We didn't have magazines when I looked overseas. We watched foreign films and you know, I would always gravitate to the ones

that had a physicality, so you could understand it. But no, my mother was an artist. She was an opera singer and it was very serious. I mean, I'm incredibly intrigued by this. - She was extraordinary.

“- And I noticed that now more than ever being a mom”

and seeing her practice her craft, which was incredibly annoying to me. - Yeah. - Of course annoying is loud. - Yes.

- And it was in the basement of our house. And it would permeate the whole neighborhood as we're playing like kickball outside. Do you hear vocalizing and you're just like, "You have very good posture."

- I'm trying. - Did she have really good posture? - Yes. - Yeah, she was. - She was controlled and all that stuff.

All of it from the diaphragm. She was, so she was, she practiced a high art. So did my father. - Yeah. - But he just had that southern thing.

That was more relaxed, but also to control the room and put the remedies. She had no desire to put the remedies. - Incredible. - And then whatsoever.

- I'm always fascinated by the people

that can stay quiet and that don't feel the need to change the temperature and rim. It's fascinating to me. It's like a such a power move. - It is funny that you bring that up

because today I had that very conversation with my sister. I was like, "I am so tired of hearing myself talk." - Oh, babe. She goes like, "I'm like, and it's also the press junket. I feel like I'm here to just share and do whatever."

But she says, "You know, it's also your undi-dozed ADHD and your trauma response." - Okay. - I feel like, "Wow, you've read for Phil. Thank you so much."

- But if this is ever happening where you're on a conference call and you're accidentally on mute and you're talking but you're on mute and then you can't mute and you realize

I've actually just been the most powerful I've ever been by not talking by pausing for more than 10 seconds. - But I never do that. I have to work at it. - Okay, we were talking about,

we were talking about your German mom, but we're talking about opera. I, your relationship to music is really interesting to me. I've learned that about knowing you. Not only, as a producer, you're picking music

for the projects you make. There's really good needle drops that are in films that you make because of you. But you sang opera. - No, I did not.

- Oh, I did not. - Are you a singer? - Not even close. - Okay, no, I'm not one of those who says, "Oh, I can't sing and then I'll be in the car

"and I'll belt something out and they're like, "you've got a great voice. "Okay, you know you don't have a good voice." - I should not be singing. But what I have is great rhythm.

- Yeah, timing. - timing. - So you sing with your parents? Were you not in opera? - Yes, I was in the background.

- I was in the background. There's always like some filthy child stealing money and coins off the floor. That was me. - And so, did your mom want you to be a singer

did she ever want it? - No, she knew. - Look, there could only be a singer, she knew. There was only one her and she was, she was of the highest order of talent.

She just, she was the one. I was the jokester. I found my way to sort of level the vibe anywhere was through that. So she knew, of course at some point, I would be that. I wasn't theater and I did things like that.

I didn't even attempt to sing.

- I am going to my first opera, very soon I've never been.

- What are you going to do? - George Saunders, they're doing an opera based on his book Lincoln in the Bardot at the Met. - Really? - And I'm thrilled.

“But my question for you is, what should I prepare for?”

Because I'm assuming you've been to many. - Yes, and it's amazing how no matter what the language when it's good, you understand it all. And it's the profundity of the performances and the set deck and the it's grand.

It's always grand. And I remember as a kid, I would be in the back of the car. My mother would always test me like she would play something. She goes, what does that make you feel?

losing someone or they're looking for someone who's dead. You know, like you could feel it when it's good. When it's bad, it's bad. - Yeah.

“- I think you're at the Met and you're probably going to be”

just fine and it's going to be amazing. I think you're going to be okay. - What a cool thing for your mom to do to test you on what are you feeling when you're dealing. - I mean, we would go to Italy for the operas,

just sit on the stone steps and with our little ice cream and just watch the animals come on stage. And it was just beautiful. - That was really beautiful. - And speaking of German, what can you tell me your favorite

German word and I'm going to try to guess what it means? - It's, it's a shy sculp. - Say again, please. - shy sculp. - shy sculp.

- I'm going to say that is the feeling that you get. (laughing) - When you're in an argument, you're very close because the word would probably be used in the argument is you right before the mic drop moment.

- Oh my god, chills. - Yes. - I speak German now. - You want to know what it means? - Oh yeah, what does it mean?

- Sorry, I mean, shithead. (laughing) It's what my mother would teach. All the boy friends are like, would you like me to teach you some trauma?

And they were like, yes, we'll look, I really would. And then she'd give them, you know, shithead. And then, so she maybe she did have a tiny sense of humor. - That sounds pretty funny. - That sounds pretty funny.

- That sounds pretty funny. - She sounds like a trickster. - You know what, she just didn't know it at the time. - Yeah. (laughing) It came to her later on.

- Well, I mean, everybody needs a straight man. And it feels like your mom provided that. - Yeah. - The, you know, there's a million journeys to get to being on-screen and like, you know,

you're performing, you're acting, you move to New York, you study at Myesner's. - I studied in college, the teacher that came to the college. - What college were you at?

- East Carolina University. Only because my best friend in high school had an application. My dad really wanted me to go to a school of the arts, the top 10. I was not getting into any of them.

I auditioned for one, but it's very unfortunate. - Do you remember what you auditioned with? - I don't recall. - That's dramatic. - That's dramatic.

I remember the smell of the room. (laughing) The smell of the room. (laughing) I remember the flop sweat and it was,

it was a steer white rose like I'm not supposed to be here. I wasn't, I was pretty oddly shy as a kid because we traveled back and forth and I had a list. And my list still kind of comes out when I'm on this press tour, my list gets come out.

- When you're tired or talking to your family or something. - And I didn't really notice I had one until a few years ago I was working my co-star. I was like, you come on this, but I was like, you were like, stop paying attention.

“- It's not for till, why are you looking at my mouth?”

- Yeah, yeah. - Where are you about yourself? - But I didn't, I wasn't baked. I wasn't sure enough, I was very sheltered.

So I could never have made it any of those environments.

I did not have the confidence. - Did you like studying like that visor, visor check knee? - Very much. - So for people who don't know what visor technique is,

it's kind of cool, how do you explain it? - Premises being truthful in imaginary circumstances going. - So I wasn't comfortable when they would say, lay on the floor and you're gonna fry like bacon and I was like, I'll never be cast as that,

this will never, it felt artificial to me. But my is nerd, they give you a piece, start it off with, you know, these silly, silly liquids in a book, you had to go and do an emotional preparation as if going, okay, this never happened to you.

But prepare as close as you can to the emotion and the feeling of getting to this, what would make you feel like this? And it gave you a tool outside of yourself that made sense, at least for me,

made sense to hang on and also listening. - Yeah. - Which we're probably not very good at. - We like to, you know what, I'm good at it. - You are, and so are you.

I've seen it active listening, you're very good at it.

- And I am to learn, but not always.

- But can't you tell very quickly when you're with someone who's not listening and there's like, there's no lonely or chilling. - Yeah. - When you can tell when you're talking

and you can tell someone's dead behind the eyes, it kind of makes me sad to hear. - Makes me really sad. - And I maybe it's a little codependency, maybe it's like a little bit of making sure I'm staying

connected, but I think I,

“I think you can still be the listener while you're talking.”

- Yes, well, if you consider yourself a talker. - Yes, and if you've done enough therapy too, you've learned that, you know, it requires you to just stop, yeah. - Yeah.

- And that, all of that, it's all of that together in a pile. And I got very lucky that this teacher came in to teach the Maizen or Technique. - Yeah, it was always the girls in class who could cry on this spot.

And I'm like, oh, they're such brilliant actors. She can cry.

- You know, never could get there.

- No tears. - No, I can't. Unless I feel it, what, you don't like the tears?

- Just explain.

“- Well, I think that tears to your point are very effective.”

But people, just like being flexible, people can sometimes are just good at tears. Like they were just more and being good at tears. And keeping them, like, perched right there. And then it just, when I cry, it's the square mouth.

It's like things tilt, it implodes. And it's just nothing cinematic. - I heard that Elizabeth Moss, I don't know if this is true, Elizabeth right in, call in, that she can pick what I, she's gonna cry out of.

- Stop, that's what I heard.

Isn't that an incredible rumor?

- Elizabeth called us just on. - Lizzy call us, because she's so good at crying. The people that are able to go, can blink and drop a tear. - I'm sort of like, I mean, I'm not even a little formal

like right now. I wish I had. - But I think it's like being able to touch your toes or something like either how to yell. - I could do that.

- Well, I don't want all of us to see them. - All of us can, Sandy. - Well, I don't have any been practicing, it requires. - I know, I just. - I tried to touch my toes with John Cena when he was in here

and he was, and that's not a euphemism. How dare you? - And he touched his toes so well. - He touched his toes to the floor. - I can see that.

- Are you that flexible? Can you do that? - Damn it.

- But I'm practicing too.

- I practice. I practice. - Okay, so. - Beid, okay. - So then you want to.

- Then you want to participate. - No. - Where I had to be flexible. - Yes, you probably did have to be flexible and speed. You've talked about this before,

but I'm really those early days like walking in a room, trying things, like you were saying, not being fully cooked, but feeling excited about stuff, knowing that you had the passion,

but maybe not the experience yet going for it. Those swings, feels like really paid off with speed. You were able to meet the moment of that movie, with the enthusiasm that that character needed. And that audition process,

I've read about it and read about you talking about it, but it sounds really funny and fun. - It's in retrospect, right? But again, like the audition for the school I didn't get into.

- Yeah. - There's a lot of shwitzing and just your outside of your body. And I think from New York, I was a waitress. Every Thursday, I got the backstage magazine. I pounded the pavement and you went to little additions

with your headshot and you just had to do it. So I was comfortable just doing it. - Yeah.

“- Did you have to pretend you were on a bus when you were dancing?”

- I was on a folding chair and they gave me a paper plate. - I think I have to say, you know, and we talk about acting a lot on this, 'cause I talk to a lot of actors. I think everybody should have to do that once

to feel like, you know, you think in life, like, I felt what it's like to be humiliated. And you're like, hmm, oh my God. - And then they bring in Kiana Reeves, like when they in the call back in your site,

and my still on the chair with the paper plate, yes? So plate, okay. Okay. - Just so sweet and funny. - Okay, did you do that all the time?

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. - The back there 'cause the bus has all these levers here. - Yeah, just the mirror. - The hydraulics. - Yes.

- There's all kinds of stuff going on that I was like, you know. - Yeah, check in the glove compartment. - There's no glove compartment of course. - I mean, I don't know, is there?

- Maybe there's an air freshener, there's a million.

- Not in this bus, not in this bus, not in this bus. - Do air fresher.

“- That movie is so huge, it's huge for you.”

You and Kiana, lifelong friends, you create this incredible chemistry together. - We didn't create it, it just shows up. - It shows up, you're right, and you have chemistry with so,

you are really, really good. - I'm like a skunk, I kind of just spray it. (laughing) - I do like, it's ready. - And whoever's in the light of fire.

- Whatever dogs in the neighborhood. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Start coming in. That's what people don't realize. You have to like, I agree, you got to,

you got to turn the channel. - You got to, yeah. - But what, but talk about chemistry for a second, because people love to talk about it. But what, what, what was it about you, Kiana,

that like immediately you just felt? - I think with us, we're so different. We're so, he is very reserved and zen. And as we were saying earlier, give us a silent room and you can watch us spin out.

So anytime he's silent, I'm like the whirling dervish around his silence. And he's just waiting for me to wear myself up. You're just patiently waiting. And then he often doesn't respond to what I say.

You know, until like maybe a day later, when he's thought about it. So it's someone to learn from in terms of what you and I need to work on. - Yeah, the tortoise in the air, kind of thing.

- Yeah. - But you've worked with really, really different, I mean, men, and they all have, they are good at playing. - Yeah.

- They're just like, they're there to volley back.

I am the Tom Boy. I am the one that

you'll get in there with the guys.

“And you know, I think that's why it works for me”

because I love being poked. I love being, you know, just be the needle and just trying to get at me because that's a spark for me rather than the real sweet stuff, which I just goes uninteresting to me.

It goes back to timing and yeah. - Yeah. - And I'm just, I can watch you all day long, but your respect and support of your opponent. - 'Cause it is like a match.

- It is, and it's actually a bit, a tiny bit competitive in a fun way. - In a fun way, fun way. - But also I see you have so much respect for the person opposite you.

I feel it, I feel it in a new way. Like even in the bloopers and the outtakes, I see you giving the person grace enough and you're like, am I going to step in on this one?

I see it, and it's a rhythm that,

just, you feel it, I feel it here. - And don't you feel, I feel like people have music. They just have a rhythm. And figure out how to make it work, 'cause you have to just kind of get into their song.

- Totally. - Yeah.

“- And then I think the reason why people like actors”

or performers or writers or whatever is they just like like their music, they like their song. - Yeah, it's like when someone says you have good taste, that means you have the taste that I have. - Yeah, I mean, it's like, you have a nice taste.

This is what I would do. - Yeah, that's so true. - Gravity, I want to ask you questions about gravity. - I mean, what you love talking about. - Oh my god.

- I have so many questions. - Ask away, because I don't think it, yeah. - Well, you were, before we get to gravity, you won for the blind side, Oscar, you've been nominated many times.

How many of you did? - I've been nominated, I've been nominated twice. And one once. - Okay, well, that's more than one. - It's like a 50, 50, I have 50%, right?

- Maybe we're saying, okay, several. You've been nominated several times. And you won an Oscar and a Razzi in the same weekend. - Yeah, incredible. - Incredible, and I came and took the Razzi back,

“'cause I went home with it and they were like,”

"You can't handle it." So I was like, "Just give." - They were like, "We only have one." - We had Dakota Johnson on here. Dakota Johnson told her a really nice story

about a voicemail that she got. - She's one of us. - What did you do when she won her Razzi? - Colter and welcomed her to the club. (laughing)

- What did you win your Razzi for? - All about Steve. - Oh, I did with Bradley Cooper. - Oh, yeah.

- We never heard from him again.

- Just for the exact way. - He just treated us. (laughing) - What's a British artist so card so earned? - A family name.

- A Lancet's. - A choice. - And when you're the Duke of Hellstead, it's a little bit of a period and you're talking about it.

- But still, there's just one thing that's going to be a little bit of a question. - It's a little bit of a question. - There's only one question. - Italy is already four years later,

but the artist Ungham Tile, the gentleman, Stafford II, yet unseen, newer off-netflix. (clapping) - But a movie like Gravity,

I'm just gonna put out there, is a really big, deep, lots of, it is you by yourself, camera on your face movie. So what was it like to shoot mostly and often buy yourself?

- What did you feel like? - There was so much technology and within the box that I was literally within the box, if I wasn't on the wires and if I wasn't with George, it was music.

It was the only relationship I had was to our sound mixer and Alfonso because the whole stage was black. And so I had earwigs in, and so I said to the sound guy, I said, look, they're these, because it was all rhythmic.

My body had to be very slow, like Martha Graham, and I kept looking at a dance teacher that I had at ECU, who came from Alfonale. And taught me how to not throw my body around, because you got to stop throwing your body around,

as you throw me against the wall, and I'm like, "Me, I'm coming back." (laughing) But I learned how to disconnect the head from the body, 'cause the head could speak at normal speed

and the body had to move like that. Everything had to be what it would be in gravity, as I was looking at a dot that's George, that's a Soyuz, that's in the sound, mixer had, we chose selections of sounds,

a music and songs and vibes that I like, you said you'd start vibing with a project. I was like, this song reminds me of this right here. This makes me feel this moment. You know what makes me feel in absolute silence,

what, so I would say I'm not getting there, play two, seven and five, and then I'll get to, and he just was my life mixer. He would mix it and just get me to any music that you'd be willing to share that you listen to,

But I just remember at the end, he gave me this tiny little, you know, what's it called, like, you know, you know, that's a tiny little thing

“with like a whole worried plugin, you know,”

and he just handed it to me, and I was like, that's my performance. - Wow, that's so cool. - So it tapped into my body, because my body had to do these strange zero two things.

- So you were just faking the whole time. - Everything was faking, like everything. George and I were in the pod and Alfonso was giving us notes, and they said, did anyone want to water? And I said, I do, and they handed it to me,

and I grabbed it and George goes, you know, you just did, didn't you? I said, no, I have night and he goes, you were like this. Everything was very slow. And I was kept talking to Alfonso and I grabbed the water,

but my body was so used to having. - That must've so mad at me, he'd been really cool. - Like a fun. - It must've been peaceful. - It was very peaceful. - Yeah.

- Yeah. Well, it was a humongous hit, congrats. - Didn't do that. - Yeah. - And you had just adopted your son, right?

- I did. - We called him Lubricy Jones, that was his name on there, 'cause he was just, I dressed up in his cute little English vests and he had his little house. He was so cute, his baby ever.

- He's so cute, but that was super cute. - Yeah.

- It was just, it was an amazing experience

because for Alfonso and his son, and they wrote it together, it was about his sort of feeling lost, like having an existential moment in life of despair. And how do you show that in space? You go to space?

- It was such an incredible, beautiful movie. And your performance is incredible. - Thank you. - And George too. - I mean, it's all just exactly where it needs to be.

- Yeah, and it, like space films about space. I kind of watch any time, but the feeling of, I don't want to go to space, I guess, as well, and nor do I. - Okay, good. - Let's not go.

- Yeah. - And what was it like working with Climbs? - You know what, I've known Climbs since before he got, is that how he, what he likes to be? - So in your Climbs.

- He like, he prefers. - He wants to, I'm all calls him that, and he insists. - See you.

- When did you guys first worked, we only worked together then,

but it's we first met when he was, you know, on backcorks of all their friends, drunk, doing buddy-hacket imitations. And I like, this was before, what was that, the show he did, was a doctor, you know, you are that thing.

Yeah, it's before he got there, the other year, but it's where he was doing all the pilots before he became, we did you just say, what is the show, where I was the doctor? - Yeah, you know, the doctor show.

- My God, yeah. - You are. - I know, I said he are, you, you have it on the side. - I've watched ER three times, you know, I've watched the entirety of ER.

- Like recently? - The last time was during COVID. - It's worth it. - It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, yeah. - So George is a player.

He will play and he will bat things back and forth, and he is, he's fun. - Yeah. - George is fun. - Because we're great together. - Yeah. - Really great together.

- I mean, we're good in space together. I don't know how we'll do one land, but on space,

we're amazing. - In space, you're in space, we're great.

- There's no doubt that can compete with us. - We're like, I only work with him in space. - And this one, I'll only work with underwater. - Exactly. - But now we're talking about practical magic,

which you're doing tons of press for. First of all, and I just love, I mean, I know it's weird to talk about the press people are doing, but just watching you in Nicole talk is so nice. - Yeah. - And it's really relaxing.

“You guys are such opposites in the best way.”

The cold is just kind of on a different channel, and in her, and like in a really, she's regal. - She is. - She's regal. - And she's also very playful, and so are you, but you play totally differently.

- And to see her body is really nice, 'cause you don't get to see that a lot, you know, she's on this one, 'cause what I had to carry was it really sexy for a comedian, because I was like, I'm grieving. - Yeah. - I'm having issues with my daughter.

- I'm battling with fear and all that stuff, and then she got the fun role. And I was like, where can I find moments that are appropriate within these dire situations? And we kept with the writer writing these fun lines

for Nicole, and she didn't want to do, she was like, I don't, I don't want to be the comedic sidekick. I'm like, yes, you do. - Yes, you do. - Yes, you do, you do. - From us, and she just took to it.

Like, she found her, she found her rhythm. - Yeah. - And she's really good at it. - Yeah. I mean, the friendship you guys have is really cool to watch. I mean, it's very authentic.

I know female friendships are very, very important to you. - They've, I would imagine. - I mean, it's rare to you. - Absolutely. - Yeah. - What if the women in your life

“done in the friendships in your life, done for you?”

- Everything, it's like, it's, I don't think I can quantify it because it changes with the seasons. It changes with our changes. It changes with where we are, where we're not. And you know what, they give me a tremendous amount of grace.

They judge, like my sister would be like, "Doing that thing again." You're like, "But my sister will sit there

"She knows where it's coming from." Even though she wants to kill me, she's, she's gonna weigh it out.

“- Yeah, that's what I always say about friends”

is they know you really well and they like you anyway. - Oh, yes. - You know? - It's like, they really, really know you and yet they still take your call.

- Yeah, and hopefully, I mean, it's really important for me to be a good friend. - What's your conflict style? Do you, are you a, a retreater? - I'm a mix of, I'm a little sprinkle of,

but it also depends on who I'm opposite with their style is. You know, I mean, that sort of the vernacular right now is like, I'm an avoidant, you know, whatever. I am probably a little bit of everything depending on who I'm opposite and how safe I feel.

- Yeah. - Because, in what we do, unless it's very close relationships, you don't know who's coming to you with safety and giving you a safe place. So it just depends, but I can read people really well.

And I don't always heed my own warning

until like three beats later. I'm like, I know it, but you know, I'm like, I wanna give them a shot. I wanna, you know, like, whatever they're coming at me. And maybe it's this, maybe they're having a hard day.

- Yes. - And then three beats later, I'm like, it's what I thought it was. - Yes. - Yeah. - Yeah, that instinct of feeling something and listening to it and responding to it.

Like, that to me is like a lifetime of work.

“Basically, it's like our entire life is to figure out,”

like, how to shorten the distance between what we sense. - Mm-hmm. - And what we act on. - Yeah. - But do you think that's also being a woman?

- Yeah. - Like we have a more sensitive meter, I feel. - Of course. - Of course. - We're also conditioned in this, you know, social universe that we are not to trust that.

- Well, we become experts and other people and we become really, really aware of how people are acting and changing. And to your point, we're like, we're conditioned to give a lot of grace.

Like that's why like someone like your mom who's like, I'm gonna be an island and you're gonna have to come to me is still really fascinating to find an a woman because it's still just like,

whoa, she's not saying anything and she's not pleasing anybody. And she really does not care that people are projecting all the stuff on her. - It's fascinating.

- Yeah, I mean, the way you're saying that I'm going, I'm getting to know my mom, you know? Like, I feel like I am getting to know my mom as I become more of a mom. - You were each day and like,

oh, I see why she said that, I see why. - I mean, Prashcom Magic has a lot of those themes, like beautiful themes about like you talked about history, trauma, pain, the idea of protecting the people that you love, the idea of like, what is a mother's burden

and blessing, what does she get to do when she have to do, it's so great. And you're playing a witch 30 years later, almost from when you played it before. And I'm so interested in this idea in general

that as women get older, like, there's something that gets very witchy about us.

- We've always had it, it is, it's the lag time,

those three beats come one beat. - Right. - You know, like you no longer waiting or second guessing yourself, you go, it just is. - Yeah.

- Because you've had enough instances in life to prove you correct when you had that feeling. It's called Mother's Intuition for a really good reason, women's intuition. Like it's, we are extra sensitive to things

and it's, it's both a blessing and a curse. But I think as you get older, you're still in a waste time anymore. You know, at least I don't. - The way you speak about the losses

that you've had in your life makes people feel very seen and you're very generous about it. And in many ways reminds me of this idea of like the witchiness that happens to us when we get older, that we're coming in with some pain

and some hopeful lessons or knowledge from it or whatever or just, and I really appreciate it as a person listening to you share. Because I don't know, I can't explain it other than, I feel safe in the way that you share

'cause I feel like you're taking care of yourself, which is a big relief for me. - Yes. - That makes any sense. - It does.

And I want to take care of you. I want to take care of you, making it scary. Guys, stop. - I really want to take care of people's souls, or whatever the person is.

I never want to be known as someone who violated

someone's confidence. That someone gave me a piece of themselves and I was careless with it.

“And I think, sure, younger age, I was a ding-bat,”

but because of the things that I've been able to see and feel and experience and get behind the curtain on, I feel like it's a secret that I don't want to share from those who deserve to benefit from my experience. - Well, you spoken beautifully about being a caretaker

to Brian and there's a lot of caretakers listening.

I've been very private since I was a little kid

'cause my mother always sat us up to something

that I wasn't.

“I really am like, why am I getting Blake with things I did do?”

I just, I'm a guilty, I just look guilty, you know? But I don't want to ever, ever, ever not be. How do I describe this? I don't, I did what I had to do in the situation I was in. I didn't want to say anything out of turn

on what anyone else experienced within that situation 'cause everyone is experiencing something their own journey with that. There's so much to the story that would be of service. But my story, my slice of pie and me and the kids, you know?

That's all we can speak about. - Yeah. - You know what I mean, I'd love to say, but you know, it serves no purpose other than I have the information. I've met so many people who's family members

have been diagnosed with ALS or neurological disorder. I'm like, this is what I know. - What did you learn about yourself when you became a caretaker? What was a new thing that you mentioned? - I am always a caretaker.

- Yeah. - Always. - And I learned that I didn't take care of the person that was taking care of everybody else. And that was a big wake-up call for me. - Yeah.

- And I'm not good at asking for help, but I needed help and I needed to ask it in a way that was safe. Thankfully, I had a few angels that stepped forward and was like, this is where the nurses are. This is where they could, you know?

What did I learn about myself that I have an incredible sister? And she, she, in her worry for me, gave me like an alarm of going, if you do not start taking care of you, something's gonna happen to you

and what's gonna happen to Lou and Ly. And I was like, you know, and that to me, that's, you know, I learned about myself, I have an extraordinary sister.

“You know, that's the only thing that I know,”

I'm still developing. - I mean, coming into a press tour, I was looking at the photos of the London premiere and I'm like, I'm not a red carpet gal. - Are you out of your mind?

- Okay, but I'm just gonna, let me just say,

can I, okay, I'm gonna never be moving.

That's our first fight. You look better than ever. - Let me know when you're done. - Your red carpet is slaying, okay, I'm done. - I agree with you, the outfits slaying.

- It was incredible stylus that worked on this, that made me feel comfortable in my body. From the neck down, I was, I was so taken care of. The person on the inside, like I said to every, I would start panicking as we would get ready to leave

and I said, you guys are working on the outside end. I'm sitting in my body. I have no idea what you guys are doing. - Yeah. - And I was just, like, and then I got on the red carpet

and I was like, okay, I've got this up. I'm gonna pretend I, which hand should I put here? - I'm working, like, I'm not someone who's like, what's up? - Totally.

- I mean, I'm not one of those. - You know what I mean? - You know what I mean? It's the best hidden. - I just had this experience, I just did a photo shoot

and I was like, did you do this? - I gave myself a pep talk. I'm like, can you, you get in there

and you be the first to figure anything?

- You're nothing. - You don't want to say that? - I was like, just be into it. - Yeah. - I can't, it's so hard for me.

I can't just be like, I'm very, very sexy, right? - And I can't, and you just have to be a lot of like, who, me? - Me? - Me?

- You need to be like, I'm--

“- And then you should have made all of some of the answers.”

- And then there's two fingers. Like, when there's so much shots, two fingers in their mouth and a photo shoot, bad ass. I'm like, girl, I wish I would have the whole fist in there if I could.

(laughing) - Okay, I understand. I hear you in here. - So here we go. - And so there you say.

- So what about this 'cause we need you to like, approve some of these shots so we can get them on social and great 'cause I, by the end, I was like, I did it. I did a really good job, you know. I loved everything

from here to then I went. (laughing) - So once you're face doing. (laughing) - It's just, you're, you're eyes just like,

I was like, why do I have stink face? 'Cause you're like, I'm like, no, no. So I'm like this. (laughing) - I'll be like, look, look, look, look, look,

I'm a bit at resting bitch face, is that what you had? - Like I smelled something, look, you've got like, what happened? That's not what I was being here. (laughing)

- Because it was because you're here? - You know why because you're funny. - Yeah, yeah, but that's why you. - And then when you're funny on a red carpet, you get this. - Nightmare.

- You get someone going, can you raise a camera? It's like, it's a nightmare. - It's a nightmare. - It's a nightmare. We don't belong on a red carpet.

- No! - We don't. - I, I don't. - But you do. - There should be a calm note.

There should be a calm note. - Calm note, it's a calm note. - I think we should advocate for a comedy red carpet. - Unfortunately, that's every red carpet I've ever done. - It is a comedy red carpet.

- But where the camera is called, I've said this for, I'm really, I, I'm really relating 'cause I, I feel like I, I try my best.

- I try so hard and I get full hair makeup for hours. - It's like three hours. - It's like three hours. - I'm like, all right, okay, all right. And again, the car.

And I get out there and I feel like I'm posing like this. This is how I feel like I'm posing. And I see the picture and it's like, yeah. (laughing) - It is the way.

- I still know what you're talking about. - When did I do that? - Yeah, when, when you were authentic. - But, but you're not, that's not the place to be. - No, exactly. (laughing)

- You're right. - You can't be authentic. - Yeah, and we have to stop. - We have to just agree. - We don't agree.

- We don't agree. - We don't agree. - We don't agree. - We don't agree. - We don't agree.

- We don't agree. - We don't agree. - We don't agree. - But you're not, that's not the place to be. - No, exactly. (laughing)

- You're right. - You can't be authentic. - Yeah, we have to stop.

“- From anything that we're in. So like, I'm like, you do you?”

- I would never wanna do the red carpet with Nicole.

- First of all, I would love to have empathy for me now. - And I'd like you to do the red carpet. - Would you do five, seven, five, eight. - Five, five, seven, eight. - Can you imagine, I mean, can you imagine me standing next to Nicole?

- I would look, I, I, I honestly mean you said to make this. - I would just, I wouldn't just be doing something. - Yeah. - Some weird. - But yeah.

- With your hands. (laughing) - So you're not sure the death. - It's not even like, you're falling out of my pocket and I'd be talking to her like this.

- Yes, we all do it. We all do it and she is, she is a goddess. - She is a goddess. - Yes. - Okay. - Well, this leads me to my-

- Stink face leads me to- - And I bet, by the way, we all have body dysmorphia, so I bet you look at- - We all do, we all do. - I bet you look incredible.

And I, I'm not bad. I saw it, you did.

- Okay, we talk, we always on this podcast talk to people

who know our guests and give us like, we talk well behind their back. - And- - Let's meet Jesus. - And we talk to Macy.

“- We've already done, we've already done.”

- We've already done. - No, we're not done. - No, we have so many more things on the on the paper. But we usually do like about an hour, an hour, 10. - Okay.

- And we're life. I'm just kidding. We've been live the whole time. - All right, so they're gonna start. (laughing)

- Oh, my God. - These are all set. It's like, the chin's broken. (laughing) - Oh my God, we just put it on there.

- You know what, I like to do in the right car, we just put a little black one cookie right under my nose. - We just, we just think about it. (laughing) And then it sits right here.

- We work it. - And it just looks- - What do we create? - There's like a really great collar that you sort of had and it made your jaw snatched

and then you had this taken care of it. - And on the way out your pelvis is like, did you have a cookie? (laughing) - Don't forget your cookie.

(laughing) - Oh, shit. - My cookie for my cookie, sir. - Okay. - You're looking incredible.

We all look incredible. It's a women. - We have a women. - We have something else. - Every woman is beautiful.

- Okay. - Oh my God, I'm sure it's easy. - Oh my God, I'm sure it's easy. - Oh my God, I'm sure it's easy. - Okay, here is, say we talked amazing

and we talked to Joey. - Oh, how extraordinary are those two.

“- They're so, they are the coolest, they're so cool.”

- They're talented. - They are, they are everything. - They're telling me about working with them, what it was. - You know, it's a combination of all and intimidation because they are so free.

I'm glad I had to play someone that was tightly wound and had to be very maternal and dark. It's stiff, you know, like, because their freedom is intimidating and educational. - Yeah.

- Like, we were having about just being a woman and flying the flag and to stuff like that and I said something about fear, I said, yeah, but you know, you've got, this is amazing. It goes, oh no.

And then she went off, she goes, she went off on, oh, it's not like in the word witch. I said, I don't like the word witch

because it always came with negative connotation.

- Of course, it's amazing. - It was, had full ownership of it. - Yes. - I mean, and she, it was like, - Yeah, the divine feminine, and it's real hard.

- And they are both, they both epitomize that. - And it's so peaceful to see because I'm like, if that's where that generation is, my daughter's definitely in that generation. It makes you calm for the future.

She like, maybe our job was well done, you know, Lori Steinham. - Yeah, rest in peace, Gloria. - I see how genuine, maizey and Joey are about other women. They're want for other women to succeed,

fearlessly, they're in support of these women. They don't feel like anything is being taken from them in their support of other women. And I'm like, I just find them, I just, I learned, I learned a lot from them.

- They, of course, adore you. They love working with you. And their questions were so tender. I loved their questions. And make sense that they're those kind of people.

Maizey's was, she was kind of talking about your physicality. And she also says something I found really interesting. And, you know, not to make the comparison, but it was very loosey, it's very loosey all ball. Is that she talked about the way you like

to really rehearse your physical stuff, that rehearsing is the way in which you kind of get into it.

- But that's what Lucy used to do. Lucy used to come in and walk through her physical stuff. Which you imagine, like her physical stuff felt like, it was spontaneous, not at all. And she got more and more comfortable with the physical by doing--

- I didn't know that. - Yeah, she was really interesting. And anyway, she talked about how, for her, that physical stuff is kind of like, Maizey can probably cry like the kill.

- Best of that.

- Yeah, I mean, her is the most incredible character.

But she was like, the physicality in comedy, and those two things, and she was like, how does she was like,

“how do you not get self-conscious when you're doing it?”

Which I thought was such a tender question. And I feel like we talked about it a little bit, but I guess, how do you not? - You do, did you use it? - Yeah.

- To be uncomfortable is the greatest feeling for me within doing the physical things like that. As uncomfortable as I can get, 'cause then I can react off of it. So I tried to set things up to even bump myself.

I had this great gentleman who's a Gary, who did props, Gary. - Love me. - Love me some psychosoise, my setboy friend, Gary, in the props, because it became a game of,

I would set things a certain way, and he figured out why I was setting them a certain way, so I could surprise myself, and then get caught on something, and he would slightly move it aside, and it would just give me something else.

And like, when it didn't move, I was like, why didn't he move it? Why didn't he move it for me? - But to be uncomfortable is the best position to be, and I feel for the comedy that I like to do.

I mean, you too, right? - Absolutely, like, a little bit of tension that, and that feeling, like, a little bit of danger. And, you know, a tiny bit of, I don't know, I guess it's what an athlete must feel,

it's the closest thing to feeling,

I'll never be an athlete,

but the idea that there's something on the line, there's something on the line, that you can create, that's not scary, but a little bit of stress.

“- Yes, and that's what I do for my lines.”

I learned them three quarters. I'll never drop a line for another actor, but I wanna always be able to pivot, drop it if I need to be in danger, like let it surprise me as well,

'cause you can become very road. - Yeah. - And that's if you learn your lines, which I choose not to do. - You don't, okay, wait.

- I don't believe in it. (laughing) - I've got that line thing. - And then Joey had the sweetest question, which is, when is the last time you asked yourself,

wow, does it get any better than this? - I got one. - I know! - I know! (laughing)

(laughing)

- It's one nice, what a crazy question.

(laughing) - It's not so nice. - Oh, that's cry, we're seeing good answers. (laughing) We can do it.

- But that's when I cry, I cry with kindness. In the big moments when you expect everyone to cry, I have to hold it together, because I have to take care of big things. The feels hit me when there's kindness

that I didn't expect. And that question, - Great question.

“- I don't, and I think that's what she's meaning.”

She knows I don't stop enough and go, but it's not true, this whole past year, from London when we started filming, I see things just like so differently. - Yeah.

- I really do, it's like I'm allowing myself to be a kid in how I see things again. - But the play is the indication that you're a little out of crisis. - It's really-- - Out of crisis, really.

- It's hard to play when you're in crisis. It's like the reason why for a lot of people was hard to create during COVID, it was hard to organize things, you know, 'cause when you're really feeling in crisis,

in place is first to go. When you feel that back again, that's like some little, a bit like things are getting just a little bit more safe or regulated. - I mean, for Joey, then, herk of both of them,

like just, you know, 'cause we're passing the torch. Or we're like, as Gloria said, "I light other's torches." So in lighting their torch, it was a bonfire. And to be opposite them when there was a lot on the,

we have the nostalgia part, and to see them just bring it. That's when it doesn't get any better. - Yeah. - When the choices we made

to bring those two very specific talents on, and watch them kill it, you're such a good producer. - You know, it's like, can we just talk, take a minute? - I love it.

- Can we take a minute? - You just really, really, deeply empathetic, compassionate, but very successful. And you're just a baller of a producer. - But you know, that's really nice of you to say.

- I mean, you have pretty well, like, 15 films, or something, and you produce a lot of stuff. And I think a lot of people can feel your presence

'cause they know that you're producing it, frankly. - You do a lot of good sucking up in your interviews. - Well, you know, we're right back out here.

Always trying to throw it back at me.

Okay, and practical magic, really good music. - Right. - Right. - I mean, did you have to get,

“was it, did you have to write personal letters”

for you all the get? - I mean, did you have some calling? - Yeah, it's matching out. - Olivia, right? - I mean, go, please, she doesn't license to anyone.

- No, I know. - She's a fellow, what you, she's a, she's a, she's a, she's a, she's a, she's a, talk about, like, the fuck about future neighbor. She's her, she's her, she's, she's a,

Olivia, please, come on, we love you. - Okay. - All right, let's do a speed round, a speed. - Boy, let's speed. - Hold on, let me get it.

Let me, what my whistle. - You love real estate. - Do you want to do it like this? - Yeah, let's do it like this. - Well, then the purves will get into it. - Oh, it don't you want purves or an audience?

- Well, you know it's a great question. I welcome purves. - Who would I love?

- 'Cause the laughing that's come,

are they sitting in the bathroom? - They're sitting in the bathroom. - They're sitting in the bathroom. - 'Cause they're the echo. Is there a tile in that room?

- Yeah, there it's right. - Speaking of real estate, there's no better laugh than a laugh on the toilet. - I, oh my god, that's such a good call. - All right.

- A tile, a tile, a laugh.

“- You're right 'cause it's usually ladies in the bathroom.”

- I also enjoy a laugh that comes from like when you're a little kid and you're sitting on the stairs and there's like a party downstairs. - Yeah. - I love the laugh the trail was up a stair.

- Okay. - But, yes, she's not the way, like so it's happened recently. - Yes. (laughing)

- Also, yes. - Also, yes. - So you don't have a picture. - Pushes are welcome, but creeps are not. - Okay, yeah, no, we, we, big difference.

- We've talked about this on here with like Baron Haltz. - Okay. - There's a difference between a part of an creep. You know who you are. - Yes, yes, yes.

- Okay. - But you love real estate and design too, I do. - How would you describe your design sense in a word or two? - Depends on the structure.

- So you go with the place. - I go with the place, I listen to the place. I walk in and I go, who are the craftsmen? What does this place want to be? 'Cause I love the restoration process.

- So I feel like that word would be like organic histories. - Well, I'll be sobby. - Well, I'll be, here we go. - Okay, sleep, what time do you go to bed?

- Love it. I'm a great sleeper. - Oh, I'm a great sleeper. - I mean, I try to stay awake until, you know, Lila's in bed 'cause she's a terrorist at night.

So I just, she's out, then I go to bed. But it's like 10 o'clock up at 530. - That's what a professional does. - It is. - Pets, how many do you have?

- I have four right now. - I have what flavors? - I have flavors of vanilla, peach, it's too chocolate. - Do you have chickens?

- I don't have all my chickens passed away. - Oh, I have, I have a somewhat blind. - Who do? - I have a little rescue poodle who has a collapsed trachea 'cause they shut spoons down her throat.

Quite her, she's quite an illegal puppy mill. - Oh, bless her heart. - At least they have legs. We had dogs without legs and the kids were like enough. We have mama who is a black feral,

somewhat feral cat that was on my property who then brought two babies. I'm highly allergic to cats and I was like, I am not bringing a cat in this house. - The cats are in the house.

- So there's two, there's mama and her baby. - Yeah, so two gorgeous black cats. - My sister calls them the house Panthers. I go, that's brilliant. So they're the house Panthers.

- Horses, do you like them? - Love them but highly allergic. - Well, 'cause I have a theory that the thicker your hair, the more you like horses. - Love them but I'm highly allergic.

My daughter is a great writer. She knows how to tame the beast.

“- What's a musical artist that your kids got you into?”

- Jiggle. - I mean, yeah, it's good. - Protein, how do you take yours? How do you get it? - Vic.

(laughing) - I mean, you set me up. Use it. Protein, how do you take it? (laughing)

- I wasn't even thinking that, what a theory. - I wasn't thinking that either. - I was talking about shit. - I'm talking about you. - You think I'm in beefier.

- I think it's yogurt. - Vic, Greek, sandy bulls. - Zero percent, Greek yogurt. - Very good. - And that's what I was talking about.

- Oh, like a good pooled chicken salad and then the little peptide proteins in the cornfield.

- I'm always trying to figure out how to eat it.

- Are we gonna find out like 10 years from now that we've overdone it? - Yeah. - We grow some internal like eyes. - Yeah.

- And also, I always appreciate what's another thing I'm supposed to get right? Like what is another thing I have to do? - Good Lord. - Okay, and then, is this all of our speed around questions?

- That's a lot fun, okay. - Yeah, we're almost done. Here we go. We gotta wrap this up. - Okay.

- We get, we have places to be. And you have talked so much. (laughing) - I did a good way. - I apologize.

- I mean, we have gestures over. I'm going away for another four years. I'm God, Brahmins. - No, please don't. - We love this thing from here.

- Unless I come here. Unless I come here, I'll just stop here once a year. I got some going on or not, I just stopped. - I came out the wrong way. - I mean, that you had to talk so much.

- I love you talking here.

And I've loved it. And so my last question for you,

“is that I ask everybody is what's making you laugh?”

Like what? But I mean, when you're like at home, you know, what's the thing that you are, you know, it, like, where do you go when you need to change the chemistry?

- That's fine. - I didn't roll it. - I think since you're so funny. - It's like, it's like nothing makes me laugh harder than Louis, my son, mad a few words.

Like, it's like, did it at it? - I don't know. - I don't know. - And he's like, oh, yeah, his mumbles everything. And I can't, I can't understand a word.

I'm like, how was she? - He's 16 at that. - Yeah, I'm like, English, when he's standing there and he's, you know, no, no smile. And he's like, you know, can I, can I have a mock trick?

I'm like, yeah, sure. And then I get up there and I go, make shake brings you know, and I'll just start talking. And he's just watching it and then if he smiles, I'm laughing so hard whether he smiles or not.

But like, humiliation, yes, makes me laugh. Me, if I can humiliate my children. - Yes. - In the privacy of our home, not in public. - Of course.

- In the privacy of our own home. - Yes. - With the little romp shaking, it's the greatest joy. - But that's play, like you're just playing. - Play, play, yeah.

- Yeah. And also, it is, I mean, I can say this, but you can't, but like, it's so funny to know that the entire world loves you, Sandy, they feel so connected to you, they've grown up with you, you are their favorite.

And yes, you cannot get your child to laugh. - I cannot. - It's so funny and also a great healthy relationship. - Yes, yes, it's very healthy. - Yes.

- That's how you wanted to be. - I am just annoying right now to both children. - I'm just annoying. - That's, that's perfect.

“That's the perfect way you should be for any team.”

- Exactly. - But, I, I, I just love talking to you. I knew I would, I didn't want to put too much expectation on us being friends, but I do feel like we've-- - But do you know how nice it is to feel like we're best?

- No, I mean, but I think, us not really, I mean, little ships passing in the night, little, you know, but having the opportunity to meet you now

at the stage of our life is pretty amazing.

Because everything is all over the place. We're all striving for different things and relationships, kids, and dreams, and things like that. But to be able to sit here and, and acknowledge like where we are and where we've been in that,

where I'm looking at you just going, I'm so glad you are that you just are. And I'm so glad that you have this, this world that you've created. So we get to come in and experience you in a way

that we wouldn't be able to, and you're like, you are, you are one of those of us who love comedy, do the like, the band, and the, - Oh, come on. - But you, you have to know that.

- Thank you for that. - To a great, many of us. - Thank you very much. - So, because it is, it is, it is, it's unmatched. - The feeling is mutual.

- But just shut up and take the compliment for a second. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - I'm gonna write that to you, man. - Shut your face. So just, you and I must give you the present,

and one of us is receiving, and I'm giving, and you're receiving, and you're not giving me a present in this conversation. - Thank you so much for saying that. It means a lot to me, and I feel really grateful.

And this is, I'm most very, I was a little nervous. - Yeah, where? - I was a little bit shit. - I'm sorry to hear that kind of thing. - No, no, no, I'm gonna go to a good way because

I was so looking forward to it. - Same. I wanted to kind of temper my expectation because I was like, don't come on too strong. It's okay if she doesn't become your wife.

- She doesn't like you. - It's okay if she doesn't like you. Most people don't, just relax. - I mean, just walking in and seeing you, you know, was like, I was like, did I just cross a boundary,

“feel like throwing my arms around her face, you know?”

But I felt very safe here. And you make people feel very burdened to me that is everything. - Sandy, thank you. - Really?

- Thank you so much for doing it. - And I adore you, so thanks so much. - I know, adore you. - Okay, we did it! Oh my God, it was so good!

(laughing) - Oh, Sandy Bullock, you are just the best. Thank you so much for coming on. That was such a delight to talk to you. And like everything you do, it was moving

and deep and funny and real, and authentic. I just love talking to you. And for this polar plunge, I think, you know, Sandy talked a lot about the care that she took of her partner, Brian Randall,

who died of ALS. And I think we spoke a little bit about care-taking in general. And I guess I just wanted to take the second to reach out to anybody who's listening today,

who are in the thick of it, who are care-taking currently as we speak, or know someone, who is stretched thin, we're just sending our love to you. I know Sandy would feel the same.

And she said some really amazing things here

So reminding you of that message and saying thanks.

If no one said thanks to you today. Thank you. Thank you for listening.

“Sandy, thank you for all that you've done”

and the joy you've given us and continue to give us.

And thanks for listening to Good Hang. Bye! (applause)

You've been listening to Good Hang.
