I had a dream last night that it was the best episode we've ever done, so I c...
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 some tough questions and giggle at my funny little friend, Sean and Will, guys, welcome to Smart Lessons.
Hi guys, shut up, Sean, I have never, I haven't laughed so hard as I did today, when we
were standing on the street, we just come out of a meeting, the three of us, like adults, and Sean starts to say something, and he's right now, he does a top of a bottle of water and he's about to take a sip, and we're going to do it, and Jason slaps it out of his hand, lands on the ground, and lands on the ground, just fun, just fun little hair, hold, yeah, just a little fun, fun plastic bottle, nothing broke, so I reached down to grab it, because
this falls at my feet, and I handed it to Sean, and as he reaches for it, I just drop it, right before he can grab it, like it shines, that's twice, that's twice, and as it lands on the ground, Sean reaches down to get it, and Jason kicks it, goes flying, hits a curb, and goes under a part like construction truck, it explodes, top is flying off, the water's everywhere.
And I haven't laughed that hard, I felt the way it was show, it was high school all over again, it was like, it was a little ballying, it was just, you know, it made me laugh. Jason's got a lot of lean fun, you know? J, did you like my cheesecake last night? Yeah, it's, now I would have, I would have liked it a little firmer, Sean, a little, yeah, it was a little too fluffed, you know, it was a little, it wasn't as gooey as the last
one, so I feel like we're making progress, I like that last one, now I say this is a person, I can't even boil water, so the fact you cook anything is incredible, it's
not very impressive, but also I didn't know, well, either that I didn't, 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 this special way, you just start whipping it, I was, my mind was there on the, I was like, oh, 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 so, I think you're doing it right. 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 was a British chocolate uh, 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't have, you know, it's called milky bar. We already mentioned Cadbury, so I mean, we're going to have a minute, but
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 of part, it was one of many ingredients, but it's something you can all thought you tuned into smart lists. It's, uh, it's cookless this week. Bakeless. Bakeless. Yeah, yeah, no, I, and I, I was so obsessed with getting any ingredients
right, I drove an hour and a half to get it because they don't sell me the United States. And what did he do? Well, when he got there, drove to another 20, 20, drove an hour and a half away to get this to, what did he do while he was there? He's like, huh, well, look, here's a, here's a rare hamburger joint that we don't have near us.
“That's why I'm willing to put pillows. Yeah, and he put a big burger in his face and”
a shake too, I bet. Yeah, I got a shake as a cake and I got fries and a hotdog and we got a shake for lunch piece of cake fries and a hotdog. And then when you're going to be sandwiches, it would that to be sandwiches, to be somebody. And this is when you were on the, the, driving a school bus, white chocolate. Yeah, well, I had 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 it on the fridge, I'll heat it up later. Good for you. Thank you. Guys, yeah, let's get started. Oh, well, 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, so 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 orde...
parents to let her drop out of high school and move 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. Emma Stone. Emma Stone. Emma Stone. And Emma Stone is under the weather. I'm a little under the weather. I can't believe you showed up for us. You can't even do a big pile of bad co-class nine Emma. You know what? You've been there, right? It's meaning for you. Yeah, let's save and a seat for you. I know. Thank
you. I don't home or no hotel. We're going to hotel. I'm going to hotel. I'm going to see the rehab. It's a home. Thank you for having me. You want to know, but Emma's been up
“for four days, listener. And I don't think of you as a ginger, I guess, per se when I think”
of ginger. But you are. I'm not. 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'm more hairless, but then I grew blonde hair. Okay. Hairless is my podcast. Sure. Give us the full. Bravo. Yeah, my diary read. Yeah, you were read for a while there. Yes. So much other people thought it was, it was that you were natural. Red. Red. But I, but I'm not
red, not. Was it a true? My mother's red, not. Yeah. Yeah, I'd be careful with that. I have a son who's a natch, a ginger. Oh, yeah. We love a natch, a ginger. Oh, my God, do we ever love a natch, a ginger? So filthy. It's from the very beginning. I don't know. Wait, am I
to do that? Now, she's ginger. Hey, man. Do you need a second? Take a nap. I've been
out for days. I'm so excited you're on the show with us, Emma. Thanks very much. But wait, didn't you diet originally like when you moved here and you felt like you weren't getting a part or something. I feel like I read something and then you thought maybe you're talent,
“which you're, you know, seeping talent that that wasn't good enough. That's what I was telling”
everyone. Yes. And then you know, I kept saying. No, no, no. That hair had got to go out. But you thought you had to die your hair. Is that true? Yeah, I was, because 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 roles for 15 year old girls at that time were a lot of girls that were very, I guess when I was up for it was a lot of very blonde cheerleader
he kind of roles. And I didn't fit those very well. And so I thought if I died my hair brown, it would really set me up. Yeah. Yeah. How that go? You know, what great Jason, you went really great. I didn't get any parts after that either. But a couple of years later, I auditioned for Superbad. And I was at the camera test for that and Judd Apatau said, well, maybe she could have red hair because the other girl in the movie,
who's my best friend now, Martha McEyesick, had brown hair. And so we died my hair red.
And the rest was, you know, what was, did Sean's incredible research accurate, were you
really doing websites for people? Like are you a computer person? I was in that 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, I would die. 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. Oh, do you not do? I'm like a neo-led I now. But back then, I was very into
the internet and learning about, you know, building drop-down menus and things like that. I'm a primitive like 1998. Why? When are you looking for? When you're out there, you're looking, what are you looking for in a drop-down menu? No, see, that's the thing,
“key dots the thing. When you want some medicine. And this keeps me up at night. If you want”
some, if somebody's been looking to step into a really elite drop-down menu. If you're looking for a great drop-down menu, you're in the market. Now, okay, it needs to be clear, clear, fun. We're not even any comic sands on my drop-down menu. We're hitting Hellvetic a heart. You now are completely, you don't have a computer at all. I don't have a computer at all anymore. Come on, how? I really don't. What about an iPhone? I have an iPhone, but it's a very
crap. You incredibly new iPhone 15. I don't. Sean, let's do it out. You want to get, yeah, want to get rid of your old one. You know, we're done right now. It cycles over. Thank God. We enjoyed our experience, but whole mama was there. Have a rotation. Sorry about that America. Wait, so you do, but you do, do you do email off your phone then? I do email my phone. And I, you know, just, just, I bet with my thumbs. So no, social media. I know nothing else. No,
All of that.
I was thinking, yes, today. I said, do a friend of ours. I says to him, I says, friend. I says, friend, I says, 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 can 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. Uh-huh, you know. Well, yeah, do you ever do that thing? And maybe like
where you look at, I've been doing a lot lately. Well, I don't know where I look around and I go everybody's on there for every moment. If there's a, if there's a down moment. And sometimes it's reflexive because people are nervous or, you know, they can secure. Yeah. Well, when you, 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.”
That's good. Yeah. Well, no, but, uh, you do a computer loop. Well, you know, you hit the, you hit
the New York Times and your email and your calendar and you kind of get your tickets. 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, out of the pillows. Correct. You're still in the feathers. Will you reach over you? Grab your phone. I'm just in a pile of feathers. Yes. You sleep in a pile of feathers for real. What an angel. What an angel.
What an angel. I'm down. What? Like with 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 J. B. 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 I, okay. So you answered that first. No, I don't know. Which one do 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 taking you so much. Yes. I mean, I really like the edge. Can we guess the edge? Oh, this might be mean. But sure, go ahead. No, no, no. How about, I'm going to go with 24. 25. Well, I'm going to get real. Yeah, here we go. I'm back. Well, well, and I worked together when I was, uh, I think, 19. Yes, it'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, yeah. She is, uh, she is 37. Oh, 35. You're the close. Oh, really? Yeah, 35. Yeah, 35. You don't look 37. I was just guessing based on what the information was. Okay. Well, sure. Well, okay. No, no, no.
That's true. We did. We did, uh, we did work. That was a long time ago. Right now. 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, um, uh, 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 rocker? The cast is pretty hilarious.
It was Rain Wilson. Yeah. Uh, Jason Sedakis. Yep. You, Bradley Cooper. Yeah. Fred Armison. Yeah. Yeah. I need to. Who directed this? I'm a guy named Peter Catania who directed the full Monty. Peter Catania. Uh, John Glazer. John Glazer. Oh, the Great John Glazer. Who did hot rod? Uh, directed hot rod. Was that that was the aroma? Was it? Oh, keep it. Yeah. Gotcha. But the cast was pretty, uh, it was pretty wild. 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 months. I was there for a week, maybe. Yeah. And what kind of part were you playing Emma? Uh, well, I was playing the
“base in a band that was branded by, it was sort of a school of rock and Jason. What do you say?”
Well, yep. Yep. I would kind of story. Really. Really. What do you plan? Why I played the lead singer of a, uh, a hair band. Yeah. She's a story. Yeah. Bradley was a guitarist and from the, the bassist. No. Uh, but it was, uh, 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 rare. This guy, you haven't done anything shitty as the rock or since the rocker is what will
Us say.
That's great. It is good. Let's not go too deep through the IMDB. I wanted, I met you once very
“briefly. We were so kind years and years ago, blah, blah, you never remember. I think it was an SNL.”
But I was like, oh my god, the time is done. And then so when I did my research for the, for today, I didn't know that your name was Emily. I want to know these guys. I know why it's called AMA, but I want you to tell these guys why you change it to AMA. 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 was a company. It's a dog poop company. She picks up poop, dog poop, or you just call her and she picks up
them and it was in Scottsdale. Oh, that's where I'm from. I know. That's amazing. Well,
my name was famous. Have you noticed like there's been less dog poop around when you go home? You know, now that you know, Sean's friends. I mean, it used to be absolutely everywhere. Hi. But her gig is just, she's just a freelance. She just goes around. Really own poop. And she's looking for just spare poop that's unclaimed. Sure. Yeah, that's just, you call it up. If you don't want to pick up your dog poop, and she's, it's called poop troll.
Sherry's poop poop. She was compensating her. The city of her clients. People who don't want poop with her on-man. Yeah. 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 troll comes. Like a garden. And a gardener comes over, picks up the poop. Yeah. Like, and she's, like, not blowing the leaves and stuff. There's wow. I don't know. 30 jokes in there. I don't know where to what's kind of I brought up. It's such a funny
dog. You take a tight five and gather them and then come back to us. But wait, a dog bakery. You worked at a dog bakery when you were a teenager. Okay. I worked at a dog bakery when I 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 work there? Yes. For a wife. I mean, not for long. For like maybe six months. Wow. That was pretty shiny. This was pretty ricky. Yeah. This was years ago.
Years and years ago. This was about 50, 20 years ago. Yeah. That's when I had my two other dogs.
“And he's just go there to shop for them. Do you think that we ever ran into each other then?”
Probably. Probably. I think though. I think word would have got it out. That Will and Grace's shun he's was there. I think you're right. I think I would told everybody. Guarantee. You probably should be guaranteed. Okay. So I must not have been working those hours. Well, be right back. All right. Back to the show. Tell these guys why you changed your name from Emily, Timma. Well, it was originally my name was taken at Screen Actors Guild. When I got
my card when I was 16. And Emily's stone. Wow. And so I originally changed it to Riley because when 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 right there for one. You could have changed it to Emma Middle Name Lee. Emma Lee Stone. Right. I don't know if I could pull off being a three-name for her. Fuck is there any way you could call her 20 years ago? Could you call me 20 years ago really quick?
Yeah. Real quick. Just one second. We'll pause. And then we'll do anything.
That is a real thing. No, right? That is a real thing. No. All people who changed their names because of sex because there's already somebody. Yeah. Michael J. Fox, I think, was because there was already a Michael Fox, right? What of the great ones is isn't I feel like Michael Keaton is Michael Douglas. Oh, wow. Really? And he changed his last name to Keaton because Michael Douglas was Michael. I just learned, I just learned Albert Brooks's real name is Albert Einstein.
That's not true. No. Where to go? That's where to go. That's unbelievable. His brother was Bob Einstein, you know, super Dave Osborne. That was Bob Einstein. And that's Albert's brother, who was. But anyway, Emily to Emma. Emily to Emma, because well, because you're trying to get to the Spice Girls, right? Yes. Yes. Yeah. She named Albert Einstein because that was free. That's true. That one's free now. Not being used anymore. Wait, sorry, you see, you went to Emma.
I went to Emma because growing up I was a norm, I mean still to this day. I am, but an enormous,
“an enormous, sorry I'm, I'm slurring from all this. I've been up for days. You need to take”
a nap. Yeah, I got to take a nap. I was a huge Spice Girls fan. And there was Emma who was baby Spice. No way. Crazy about her. Yeah. I 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 sense? I have. She knows that. I've met the Spice Girls now. I think I think she does because she does me a really special t-shirt that she had signed. It was like from one Emma too.
Now they're kind of the thing.
just not keeping 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, when they, you know, had done, they did like a reunion to her 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, a just an astounding trick. You know, he did this, this card trick and then it was this whole thing and it was an illusion and an illusion. And if you, and he, and it was like he, and he pulled up his phone and the card was reflected in a
picture on someone's foot, you know, in the, in the glasses of someone on a boat. And it was this crazy thing. And I got so excited. Now, this is a tale's oldest time because I'm about to tell you 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 floors the night before the pastoral sculpture slipped.
“My arm went back out behind me. And I broke my King shoulder. When was the Blaine?”
20,000, 19, the summer 2019. So the next day I was 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, the sort of 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 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 have bone density issues. That's clear. Because I broke my toe yesterday. No, I didn't. I didn't. Doing what? On what? Getting out of the shower.
“Yeah. Well, you should be lying down in the shower. What do you mean? Getting out?”
I know. You accidentally, you stopped it. I slammed it into something. And now it's completely black and blue. And like, oh, I think it all day. Anyway, and you showed up for us today. God bless you. Yeah, that's not the case. It's a dream. This is incredible. Are you kidding? I'm sitting on a computer on it with headphones. This is love. Half of one of those excuses would have made me cancel this night. God, I was just thinking. I was so excited for this. I would give anything
for improved bone density. Yeah. Sorry, just sidebar. Sidebar. Wait. We need to take um, what is it? Boniva or something. There's some. There's some pill to help our bone and city, but actually seven bones. Before I was dirty, I broke seven bones. Is that crazy? Well, so you then you seriously looked into this. You seriously do have this. Yeah, I have it. 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. Well, you could just drink milk and eat like dumplings from chin chin like Sean. He says he has a glass of milk four times a day. No, I have a glass of milk with what dinner every night. No, you don't.
“I really do. You should do it. Why not? It's good for you. That's great. It's good for you. It's”
fine. We use it at dinner drinking a glass of milk. Yeah. Yeah, I thought I saw a week ago. I just, I just saw. Are you just doing it to be adorable? Are you really enjoying it? No, I mean, this is what he does. No, I, I mean, I mean, you don't want to be. You know, I believe he lives like he's in the 50s. It's incredible because because water's the boring and soda has too much sugar. So I just drink milk. Well, they, you know, they have zero sugar soda now. Not anyway. So listen, I want
it. Why the reasons run medical. 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're an asthma attack while filming EZA, which I read. And the other thing is, did you really have a condition when you were baby because you cried too much? Oh, the major voice. Is that true? Yeah. Because you're a colleague, that can be a recipe like extremely colloquy for five months. What's colloquy? Can you imagine? Now having a kid, I can't not imagine having a colloquy baby to that extent. Five, five. What does that mean, colloquy?
Colloquy is apparently a condition where your stomach is killing you. Like, there's, you're in a lot of pain. It's 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 intestines or part of the GI track that is still developing and uncinking itself. And there's a kick in the hose that is not, it still needs
To grow to release itself and it takes a couple of weeks and the babies are m...
Miserable. 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, it's good”
for bone densities. Those, those, those, the astronauts. You know, that thing that the, the power plate thing, the vibrates, that's supposed to be good for bone density. Oh, thanks. Isn't that kind of a 50sling to, yeah, a little belt around you that you read. It went over a glass of milk. I want to know, let's get to the career stuff because it's really interesting. Okay, great. How would, no, hang on, how old's your baby? Let's just do a quick, how old's your baby? Two and a half.
Oh, sweet boy girl girl. Oh, sweet. I didn't know that. That's so fantastic. Congratulations. And thank you so much. Yeah, with your husband who you met at SNL, is did you meet him in SNL? Yeah. And is he, what, what does he do with SNL? He was a writer director there for about five years. Oh, nice. Doing digital sort. And you met him there? 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've probably hosted a few times. I remember being there once when you were hosting and I was just like,”
oh, she's right. You guys, we hold on. I'm going to host on December 2nd. I get tech at my five timers jacket. Oh, wait. I'm so excited. I can't even stand it. I'm, 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? Did you guys
say you wanted to get married, but let's wait for a pandemic to hit? I read that somewhere in the fat a little bit on this invite list. Yeah. You know, smart. The week that I got married, I, I did open a refrigerator and the handle broke off and I got it. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. And that's where it starts. You know, I do need to help. Oh my god. I need a helmet and extensive. Back this day. You got this new show with Nathan Fielder. I want to skip ahead. I know she's your guest.
Oh, yeah. That, that looks really. I know she's your guest, but I'll take this.
But it looks really fun. First of all, he's great and not just because he's Canadian. He's
super funny. You're a super funny. And when I first saw the ad for it, I was like, he's one of the fuckers. And then they got one of those safeties in there. Yeah. Put a wig on. And then the three took a boom out of his hand and said, go, this is like a fucking, this is like a fucking talent explosion. Yeah. I'm so god damn excited for this thing. I haven't 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 and Dave's best friend Kyle Mooney have been. I love his best friends. And every best friends since they were nine years old. So they're yeah. And so Nathan
“knew Dave and Kyle well and 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. Sure. And they started coming up with this sort of premise of what 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 you know, real or not. And it's just sort of spiraled out from there and became this this very intense show. It's really it's it is a comedy, but it's kind of not a comment. Kind of dark. Yeah. It's very, yeah. There's a lot going on there. So it was,
no, it was a blast. And we were we were in 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 everyone. And say the title one more time.
And when I'm in 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 think of. I'm going to go see it this week. You are. Yeah. I can't wait. Where are you going to see it? I'm seeing it. One of the screen. 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 with you? Where do you go by Emma Stone? Oh, shoot. It is. Yeah. This is the second project with
Yorgos.
And then so, but it was, it was, yeah. It was the second one. So brilliant. Amazing. We made another one
“in the meantime. We made another really New Orleans. No, really? We did with with with with William.”
Yeah, William. Yeah. William is the poor things. Yeah. Yeah. So for my sister, Tracy, Yorgos did the favor at the lobster. Just a bunch of great kill secretaries. Yeah. It's a poor thing. So, so, did you develop it? Did you find it? Like, did you just get an offer? Like, how do that we? 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, I beg of you. I have to do this with you. Yeah. Yeah. And so, for the next few years, we worked on things and started kind of putting it all together. And, and he asked me to be a producer on it, which was amazing. And so, we kind of, like, assembled this team and then, uh, at the end of 2020. Why do I keep saying, go the dates? Yeah. I don't know. Is you're like, well, you have
incredible recall on dates. I have everything by date. So, really? Month and Yorgos. If you two, everybody's birthdays, do you forget a birthday? Can you forget a birthday once a year? I can forget a birthday, but if you say, like, hey, like, I can say, like, oh, yeah, like, it was that time of the year that year. It was this month, the March of 2023. He knows a difference between April of 21 and March of 24. Maybe I function similarly. Yeah, I'm busy. But anyway, so anyway, so we made it,
we made it two years ago. And, um, and yeah, it's just, it's, uh, it's, uh, it's probably my favorite, my favorite thing I've ever gotten to date. Really? Yeah. Wait, so with, you, you, 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 and this and my trailer or this, this and this with me.
I want 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. Me play to Coke. Just the eye, she got to get through it. I was like a sad or run idea that I'm on Coke just because I'm on cold medicine. Yeah. She's going to go with it. You know, just suffer in through this on cold medicine. She's here on it. I have a broken, broken foot. I am near death. 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 meat. Oh, coconut. What do they say? They're coconut one. Listen, they make you say me, still, but you know the Starbucks, linger where they make you say these things. It's a venting coffee. Just a regular. It's a venting filter coffee. A drip coffee. A large, with steamed coconut milk.
“Okay. And that's, that's the, that's the me store part. That's the me store. That's what makes an”
me store. So that's not a latte. That's not a latte. No, because it's not 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 for 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 one 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 a big hit of sugar. I like the peanut bread with the joy. It's a list of Sean explained for not for trace of it for Jason what joy is.
It's another kind of peanut butter. Not for. Or no, that's a chiffy. I'm like, when I, you were so fucking phenomenal in the favor and you won for the favor, right? No, she did. No. No, I didn't. She was fantastic though. Thank you so much nominated. Wait, but what was that, is that you want an nomination as what I meant? Did you really not win? I can't
“remember you did win. Not for the, not for the favor, no. What which one did you win for?”
Well, oh, that's right. I'm sorry. I'm not going to be too. That's a totally embarrassing thing to have to sit here. No, not for it. Not for that one. No, I want to know. I asked. I want to know if everything. But wait, the favorite was yours. My mom says I'm always a winner. Yeah, and always per
Favorite.
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 been a lot of
“it was in that fish. I lens. That's what makes it 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 Lola Land was here in Los Angeles. It's in LA. Yes, favorite, favorite. A lot of such a good movie. I just wanted to go, apart from the work that, you know, these guys are so tired. But I, I, that movie was so good. It was done. Yeah. We'll be right back. And now back to the show. Was 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. Lola Land had a bunch of stuff and yeah, the hardest thing I've ever done was on stage. Yeah. 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, two 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 of 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 on Wednesday, and you do two on Saturday.
“It's just, and then you're a home and you're just, your entire life is eaten.”
The, and it is so hard, you have to live like a monk. Like, there's nothing
or at least I did because I lose my voice and I just sing, and it was like, I've never experienced
something that that physically taxing as an actor. Yeah. It was, it was unreal. I'm sure. South of the artist. And when you, when you, but did you anything go massively wrong? Do you have like a any kind of night where you just like, oh, shit, my voice, nothing came out when I sang. Oh, oh, yeah. I mean, I would have taken steroids multiple times. Like, no, yeah, no, hard to text in the house. Thank God. But that's there are a lot of those stories. But that no, I,
I, um, just to add to my, you know, things that are wrong with me, I'm extremely blind, blind, blind as a bat. Okay. And I wear, uh, context for that. And, uh, they both popped out of my eyes. Well, I was singing maybe this time. And there's, and it comes to, it's a really been reaching for
a note because I was really, yeah, I'm always reaching for those notes as I'm not a singer per se.
“Uh-huh. And the, and the lights went dark and, and you have to, you know, go off in the, in the black”
out. And I couldn't see a thing in the world. And I just went and like slammed it. It was terror, that getting off stage, not being able to see it all is. That's, and then could 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 important. If you did the rest of the play with glasses on, what have been great came back out with us. Yeah, all of it has, it gives me so much things.
I, but, uh, when, when you, I always had a fear of Sean of getting hiccups on stage. Yeah, I have my God. That's so 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 Chris, yeah. Sure. And, um, I was literally like, what? Oh, no. Like forever. Oh, it was the worst panic tears because I couldn't
cough, but I had to act like I was everything. It's the, I have a million years. Okay. I'm going to go to, I'm going 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 I'm going to go around to the panel here. What do you guys do when you get the hiccups? Do you have like a surefire? I don't have one. I have a go for it. 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 this all. Put your arm up above your head. 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 sets, you go swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow, swallow, as you lower your arm slowly. Well, nothing's going to happen because none of them look at all of this. That was like,
hey, we're all doing it. Well, we're just practicing. Listeners, we're all doing it. We're practicing. I'm telling you if it is a hundred percent. I feel incredible. You do it correctly. Really? I feel amazing. What do you guys do, show or do? I, I, nothing. I, I, I wish I had something. I think a deep breath for this. And, um, 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, I've never told anybody this. This is, this is absolutely true.
I can't believe I'm telling it.
Any time I get the hiccups? And I remember one time vividly years ago, our buddy Edgar Wright would did this thing, um, called Don't, was like a, it was like a fake movie trailer between, there's like a double bill, like a Robert Rodriguez film, whatever, and he made this fake trailer, and I did the voice right. Anyway, I remember going to record the trailer voice, because I do, don't even breathe, don't even blah, blah, blah. I did this whole thing, right?
It was in the west village of the square. And, doing the thing, and I had a soda, I think, and I got the hiccups, because I was taking in so much air. And I was like, what the fuck?
This is where I learned it. And I was like, ah, just give me a second. I just got it,
because 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 gagged and throw up a little bit.
“Yeah. Go on. Go on. I get it. I came back out and I finished, and that's what I do”
every time when I get the hiccups, now I go. Excuse me. I get it. That is disgusting. When you just cut it, believe it. There's a better way, Will. I don't know. Do you, do you fully throw up, or do you, sometimes gag? Ew! Well, depends on where I'm at, you know what I mean? The building was going up. That much that you'll just make your salt puke. I hate hiccups. I will.
But this was, were you just gambling that this would work, or is this something you kind of read about?
I was just gambling. I had no idea. And I just did it. Wow. That is, huh. I did not know this. You have a tattoo on your arm or your wrist or somewhere? My wrist. I want to see. 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 a drawing that was drawn with a pencil. Okay. It looks like bird feed. Does that look like a pencil? Is it a cactus?
It's a bird feed. And it bleeds out more and more every single year. I got a 13 years ago. And it just keeps spreading. In 20 years, this is just going to be, what kind of half-assed tattoo artist were you in a French prison? I went into just kind of a random
tattoo place on 14th Street. And I was just, yes. Why didn't you consult with what you want?
Why didn't you consult with the sleeveless one? He could have hooked you up with a great tattoo artist. And now, I've gone to, to good tattoo artists and said, can I get this laser off and read down? And they were like, you're skin is so thin there that it's probably just going to look like you're burned. Like it might be worse. Oh, really? So wait. I don't know what to do. 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 there's all look great. By the way, really. They all went to better tattoo people. And I'm like, I'm the one who's a cover-up for work every day. And it's like, raised up. It's real. Don't you hang out with Thero just a little bit?
“That's why I know Thero. Yeah. Okay. So he could have hooked you up with somebody with the maybe”
of a better tattoo artist. I didn't know him then. Yeah. Yeah. This was 2010. I love that your whole family has it. I mean, he thoughts on Justin. This was October of 2010, will you remember? I love that. I love that. I love that. By the way, I wasn't going to say before, but when we shot the rocker, it was June of 2007. Okay. I know. I know you know. That he's Jason brought up a good point. Any thoughts on Thero? And by the way, this is a safe
safe place. Anything helpful that you can think of? Another segment we're introducing. Well, you know, he suffers from Xima. There we go. Is he really? That's why it doesn't we're sleeves because he's proud. He wants to show it. That's right. No, that's not. That's right. Is he a sky risen? I don't know if he really does suffer from Xima. We've had, we've had skincare conversations as I'm sure. You know, we want, we want, we want to put on his Wikipedia page that he cries when
he orgasms. It's true. Kim, Kim will take it off. He did. He did. He did. He did. He did. I guess he got an alert or something. Yeah. Kim will know is how to like break into someone's Wikipedia page. He put in the wrong person. I don't know how to do it, too. Yeah, I love that. Well, you guys put something on my Wikipedia page. Don't put that one. Put something different. No, yeah, we'll, we'll put Xima's brain. We're going to put cries when Justin Thero orgasms. Please, please,
don't put that. We'll be funny. We'll be funny about like early early because you have a brother, right? You close with your brother. You vary. Yeah. Oh, that is he in the business. No, no, he works in like a tech company. And growing up was he interested or no, he was just like, you do that. I'm going to go over here. Not at all. He played football. Yeah, where was home? Where did you grow up? It's gone through Arizona. Where the poop with the poop? Remember earlier? There's
“the same conversation. How long ago have you been talking? Remember from before? It was like 20 or did you say?”
Earlier. And good thoughts, good feelings about Arizona. Do you miss it out there? You still have family
Out there?
impressively hot. Yeah. It's difficult to, you need to be built for that kind of heat. And I, I'm not. It's not a fun heat. It's not a fun heat at all. It's like 120 degrees daily. Yeah, and we're going to, and I want to, I wanted to ask you this because we're going to, and I'm up industry business question. I love a business history. I love the business history. I love the heat. I love the buzz. When you, you know, a lot of people who went and asked her like you
did for Lala Land, they, you were amazing. So deserved. I love that movie. I love doing it. Did you
come up? 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? Before I give you this, are you picture locked?”
Yeah. Because you got the Oscar great. But a couple things were me. And it's just tried a little harder. I got a soup. I got some notes. Yeah. I was going to 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 times, some actors who win Oscars, you kind of don't see them for a lot. Like years and years and years,
where you did you have anxiety about like crap. I won. Now people are sick of me. No, sure. Nobody felt that right. No, not that I was. No. But just like, we're kind of psycho. First thought is not to put that out of the world. Why do you know? Okay. Sean, what did you tell us, Sean? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're saying you're walking up your face to get the Tony check. Sean, that's my list. I know how you feel about me today.
That came out wrong. What I meant was like, did you have anxiety about like, I'm not going to work? People are like, people think must think like, oh, we, you made it. So I left that this was a very lucky situation because I had, I met your August while we were filming Lolland and I left the day after the Oscars to go shoot the favorite. Oh, that's great. So it was kind of
amazing because 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 location? Yes, so that was, I did delay my flight for a couple hours just to call, just to call my lawyer. By the way, that was reopened just a salary for a new deal points that I'd love to. By the way, that was a big compliment as well. I know if I come out. Okay. Okay. How many great because you've been, you've been nominated? I'm sure a million times for law trade. I think it's a million. A lot to great awards. Do you have, do you have, do you have
a bunch of great unused acceptance speeches? No, what? No, I bet you do. No, but I bet, 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 ingrates that would just, if I went, I went, I just got there and wing it. I bet you've got some fun stuff that you said, I just, my dream is to have like a book, a coffee table book of people's unused acceptance speeches. That's a great idea. That's a really good idea.
“That's a really good idea. That maybe you should, maybe you should start compiling.”
Have to be anonymous, though, wouldn't it? Well, right? The people with the... Yeah, because I guess it would be, but then how do you do an anonymous acceptance speech? If you ever would know who it was, like the people they're thinking of? What are you going to say for the rocker? If you had gotten
up there for the rocker, well, who would you think first? Probably, just will. Yeah, that's for being
our guest today. Don't even think for having me. No, but you think you've got nominated for, you've got nominated for, you've got nominated for, you've got nominated for, the favorite, right? You've got nominated for, talent. The bird band. Is it the bird band? Yeah, yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you had to work with Galfa and Ackis. Oh, God, I know. What a fucking... Is there a list? Is there a list? Is there a list? How
did Galfa and Ackis? You know, from your lips to Gazzier? I know. I couldn't agree more. He was, he was so, so sweet. Anyway, yeah, no, he really is. What are you going to do for us tonight and are you watching Golden Bachelor? No, what's Golden Bachelor? I love that answer. What is
“Golden Bachelor? The Bachelor, but I don't need to. You should never know what it is, Emma Stone.”
This is why you are you. Because you don't know. I'm just out of your break and bones. Get in sick. Yeah. Not watching Golden Bachelor. Well, now I'm going to look it up. You went through a phase, shall I went for a phase where it's breaking bones, right? Yep. Early 20, Chicago. Hey, hey. Oh, God. Hey. Emma, cool it, all right? Okay, sorry, sorry about that. I'm a stone. We're going to let you go. We're going to let you
Heal.
I'm going to send some soup over. You don't need to send any. All right. Good. It'll be a good great. I just saved myself. I'll call to my assistant. So, uh, thank you. Thanks for having me. I'm sorry. I was such a, uh, you were like that. You're incredibly fast now. Huge, huge fan, huge fan. Best. Such a massive fan. You're such a, you're a, you're a, you're a, literally, you're a mega talent. Yeah, mega. Yeah. True. All right. You guys, Emma. Emma's own solid. So, I love having me.
Yeah, I'm all the best. Feel the best. Hey, hey, Emma one thing. I want you to remember one thing.
Yeah. And I, I hope you've lived by this crudo. You can always say this to every any guy.
“If you want to be my lover, first you got to get with my friends.”
If you want to be my lover, okay. I got to be my friend. Thank you. Thanks. It's a spice girl. I will take that with me. Okay. I got it. You're not knowing that that was spice girl's lyrics. One of the more painful things. Well, imagine what I thought because I did know is it lyric. I just thought he was just saying that stupid crazy. No. Like what? I was trying to connect with him. Did you just call the spice girl's stupid and crazy? Well, it's not a lyric. It was just
as goodbye sentence for a podcast interview. And it is where I log on. 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. Do you say you've never seen Titanic?
At the time, I had not seen it when I saw him go up. I've never seen King of the World. I can't.
“Oh, well, what did he just say? I've never seen it. I know. Yeah. Oh, my God. Because you got a”
lot of homework to do. Jesus is listening to want to be by the spice girl's will you're watching Titanic and Sean just get get Ricky. You know. Thanks, you're cat. Get him a little bit. Thanks. How am I? Thank you for being so. Thank you, Guy. I feel better. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Good night. Sean, you were right. Great. She did it while she was sick. So nice first. Sick. Sick is a dog. This is worth. You know, when we do these late night records, it's, you know, the the stakes are high
that it, that it, that it'd be a good guest and you know. Well, let, let 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 started young in, who are young in as actors, director, whatever. She has that same thing and you have
that same thing, which is, she's sick. But I, 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
clear my day when it was three, three a.m. and I was still having fun. Oh, yeah, back, sorry, except for when you blew your call out when you were doing that fight, see the rest of the stuff. We've been fought too hard. You broke my colon. I know that's true. But, but anyway, she, she does have that great thing. She's always just a caught. She's so good. You always, when you start listening off to stuff that she does and they're also different, you're like, yeah, yeah, it's never sucked.
Yeah. That's that's something. She's in that category. She's in that never sucked. It's, uh,
“I, I was a John Goodman number one. He's the first guy I always think of when I think never,”
as they were sucked. And she's in that category or 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 a lot of a line about how you're job. Yeah, I'm ready. Well, next time, next time. Honestly, nobody better. Here comes this kind of. Yeah, well, I love Birdman too, you know. Yeah, here comes. Oh, you know what I also liked. You ever see by by birdie? I couldn't do it. I couldn't
even, I'm Chris. You're fired. You're fired. Oh, bye. Bye Birdie. Wait, wait a second, you can just start saying that's, it's just, it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. 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 and they, from the baby spice because she said to the fan of the spice. That's good, I don't know. Bye everybody.
