  Hey Jonas is brought to you by Almond Breeze. It's time for some questions from the producers. Yeah. I've noticed you guys really like Almond Breeze almond milk. Who has the most specific way of drinking it? Ooh. Kevin's, you know what I've found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself.

• 0:16Speaker 01

  Yeah, straight out the dome.

• 0:17Speaker 00

  And he usually does it before show.

• 0:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, just really getting myself going.

• 0:21Speaker 00

  He needs it on stage. Why do you guys like Almond Breeze so much? It's delicious.

• 0:25Speaker 01

  Flavor's great, it's smooth, and honestly, it tastes great with coffee.

• 0:28Speaker 00

  True. Try Almond Breeze, trust us, it's really good. You've probably heard that good things come in threes. Like bacon, lettuce, tomato, rock, paper, scissors, Joe, Nick, Kevin, Jonas, obviously.

  And of course, Kleenex lotion tissues, which has three-in-one skin-loving benefits. It protects hands, soothes and moisturizes your skin, all of which are very good things, especially when it's cold and flu season.

  Kleenex lotion tissues also has three thick layers made with coconut oil and aloe, which means your skin will be thanking you at the end of the season. So you can get back to all those other good things that come in threes. For whatever happens next, grab Kleenex.

  Jonas.

• 2:46Speaker 01

  You know, one of the coolest things about... Oh, wow.

• 2:50Speaker 00

  New sound alert.

• 2:51Speaker 01

  New sound alert.

• 2:52Speaker 00

  What is the coolest thing about...

• 2:53Speaker 01

  One of the coolest things about doing this podcast is you get access to movies before they're out.

• 2:57Speaker 00

  Yeah, that's the only reason we're doing it.

• 2:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, I just want that, like, we used to get those SAG screeners. Remember the DVDs we used to get?

• 3:03Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 3:04Speaker 01

  That was big.

• 3:04Speaker 00

  They cut up your card years ago, that's why you don't get those anymore.

• 3:07Speaker 01

  Oh, is that what happens? That tracks.

• 3:10Speaker 00

  Yeah, but now we get early films and we get to watch them and make up our minds if we like or dislike.

• 3:16Speaker 01

  That's true.

• 3:17Speaker 00

  Be the first people on, what's that, oh my God, I'm blanking, what's the thing, the app? Letterboxd. We can be the first ones on Letterboxd.

• 3:22Speaker 01

  Start reviewing early.

• 3:23Speaker 00

  Do you have a Letterboxd account? I do. Do you actually review movies? Yeah, that's what you do. I have not really started yet, but I...

• 3:31Speaker 01

  I feel like you'd be really into it, Nick.

• 3:33Speaker 00

  It's not a secret, just people don't know I have one, but I've been reviewing.

• 3:35Speaker 01

  Oh, interesting.

• 3:36Speaker 00

  I'd like to follow you.

• 3:36Speaker 01

  What was the last movie you reviewed?

• 3:39Speaker 00

  I mean, uh, let's find out. Hold please. Let's see what we got here in the old Letterboxd. I need to do more Letterboxing. The last one I did, you know, because I'm trying to be really honest. Uh, here we go. This is why you don't want to be public. Because you're super critical.

• 3:55Speaker 01

  I like it.

• 3:55Speaker 00

  Always have been. Films, oh, these are all my movies I've reviewed.

• 3:59Speaker 01

  Wow, he's like, he's got some films.

• 4:01Speaker 00

  I think Apex was the last one and Hail Mary and...

• 4:06Speaker 01

  Hail Mary, great film.

• 4:07Speaker 00

  Because you know, they give you like, oh, have you seen this one? You're like, oh, obviously.

• 4:10Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:12Speaker 00

  So I went kind of like deep on the films that I love.

• 4:15Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, I really enjoyed the film that we're about to talk to the actress that's in this film. It's amazing. I enjoyed the first ones so much. Back in the day, me and Danielle watched Practical Magic, the original. And it's a cult classic.

• 4:29Speaker 00

  30 years ago, you guys watched that again?

• 4:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's like, you know, back in the day when we were infants. We watched it, actually not too long ago, probably the last couple of years, around Halloween time. It's a very Halloweeny film, but...

• 4:40Speaker 00

  It is.

• 4:41Speaker 01

  Because, you know, it's about witches.

• 4:42Speaker 00

  You said weenie.

• 4:43Speaker 01

  I did say weenie, I didn't say weener, but I said weenie. Um, but now...

• 4:48Speaker 00

  Good one.

• 4:49Speaker 01

  Clip it. Uh, but now...

• 4:54Speaker 01

  But now, there's another one.

• 4:56Speaker 00

  There's another one.

• 4:57Speaker 01

  Practical Magic 2.

• 4:58Speaker 00

  It took them 30 years, they didn't get this next guest born to be in the movie.

• 5:02Speaker 01

  Yeah, it's true, she had to grow up.

• 5:03Speaker 00

  She must be born and grow up.

• 5:05Speaker 01

  Well, in the first movie, the main actress, Sandra Bullock.

• 5:07Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:08Speaker 01

  And Nicole Kidman.

• 5:09Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Sandra Bullock has children.

• 5:10Speaker 00

  Heard of them.

• 5:11Speaker 01

  They need to grow up to be where they are in this film. So it's actually perfectly timed for the sequel.

• 5:15Speaker 00

  Perfectly timed.

• 5:16Speaker 01

  And of course, our guest today, so exciting, our friend, Ms. Joey King.

• 5:21Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 5:24Speaker 04

  Hi. Hello.

• 5:26Speaker 00

  Live studio audience.

• 5:29Speaker 04

  Hi, Joey. What's up? I'm sorry I'm not there in person.

• 5:34Speaker 01

  Yeah, what the hell?

• 5:36Speaker 00

  Uh, we're so happy that you're on the podcast, thank you so much for doing this.

• 5:39Speaker 04

  Thanks for having me, you guys, I want to start by saying, I don't know if you know this, but you guys were my first concert that I ever went to in my whole life.

• 5:48Speaker 00

  No way, where at?

• 5:49Speaker 04

  Yes, okay, I don't remember where they held the Teen Choice Awards for like 2000 to 2010.

• 5:55Speaker 01

  Gibson Amphitheater.

• 5:57Speaker 00

  It's not longer there, now it's Harry Potter World, but it was in Universal.

• 6:01Speaker 04

  That's right, it is, yeah, okay, so it was the Gibson Amphitheater and that's, that was my first ever concert and I saw, I saw you guys.

• 6:07Speaker 00

  Wow.

• 6:08Speaker 01

  We have, we have a photo.

• 6:09Speaker 04

  Painstakingly, you do?

• 6:11Speaker 01

  We have a photo.

• 6:12Speaker 04

  Oh, I know exactly what's...

• 6:13Speaker 01

  So you know the photo.

• 6:14Speaker 00

  The one.

• 6:15Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 6:15Speaker 00

  And it looks like, so this is 2008 probably, 2007? I've got a really good fake tan going.

• 6:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, this was one of the times that I waited outside to meet the peeps, the famous peeps at the Teen Choice Awards.

• 6:29Speaker 01

  You're crushing, me and my wife were talking about this photo earlier, we're like, we're guessing how old you were. How old were you in the six to nine, right, right, somewhere in there?

• 6:37Speaker 04

  In 2008, in 2008, I was, I was eight or nine.

• 6:41Speaker 01

  Yeah, okay, so pretty close.

• 6:43Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 6:44Speaker 01

  You look like the age of our oldest daughter, our youngest daughter, sorry. And then, yeah, so that was what I was thinking.

• 6:48Speaker 00

  Um, who, who else were you waiting for then? I mean, I don't know if you're waiting for us, but you're waiting... Who was nice and who was not, let's start there.

• 6:55Speaker 04

  It was you guys.

• 6:56Speaker 00

  In your entire career, no, just...

• 6:59Speaker 01

  In your entire career.

• 6:59Speaker 00

  At that show, was there somebody you were like, oh, I really hope I get to meet them?

• 7:03Speaker 04

  I, Kelly Clarkson.

• 7:05Speaker 00

  Oh.

• 7:05Speaker 01

  Totally.

• 7:06Speaker 04

  Which was amazing.

• 7:07Speaker 01

  Since You've Been Gone was going off.

• 7:09Speaker 04

  Since You've Been Gone, um, who else? I'm trying to remember, that was like my...

• 7:13Speaker 00

  That High School Musical was, they were there as well, Zach and Vanessa.

• 7:16Speaker 01

  The entire cast was there.

• 7:17Speaker 04

  Yes, by the way, which 100% Vanessa, Zach, all that, all that jazz. But that was, I can't, I was just painstakingly looking through my mom's phone, trying to find a picture of the concert that I went to. Because remember what I wore too? You guys had merch out that was like purple, orange, yellow, pink ombre of like the cutout, you guys, the silhouette.

• 7:37Speaker 00

  Wow, good memory, yes.

• 7:38Speaker 04

  And I wore that and I was like, just literally all morning, I was like this through my mom's phone, trying to find a picture, but I couldn't find one. And I don't remember if it was before 2008 or after 2008, but I think it was before. I think my first concert ever was when I was like eight years old, so it must have been around then.

• 7:56Speaker 00

  That makes us feel so... That is so wild. Wow, we're so, so grateful.

• 7:59Speaker 01

  Thank you.

• 8:00Speaker 00

  And, and at that time, you were...

• 8:01Speaker 04

  You were gonna say older grateful, be honest.

• 8:03Speaker 00

  That makes us feel so older, older, old and grateful. Old and grateful. You know, thinking back to the Teen Choice Awards though, because I don't know that it's really as much a thing now as it was, I'm not sure.

• 8:13Speaker 04

  Is it a thing at all anymore?

• 8:14Speaker 01

  I don't know if it is.

• 8:15Speaker 00

  They ran out of surfboards. Tell me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a category that was just like hottest guy and hottest girl? And how inappropriate?

• 8:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, and best kiss and they'd always like remake the kids. No, it's Teen Choice Awards too.

• 8:27Speaker 00

  That category.

• 8:28Speaker 04

  I think you're right, Kevin, I think it was...

• 8:29Speaker 01

  Thank you, thank you, Joey, yes. Yes, just best team.

• 8:33Speaker 04

  Hottest, yeah. The problematic.

• 8:37Speaker 01

  Very strange that that was a thing.

• 8:39Speaker 00

  Yeah, that sounds like.

• 8:40Speaker 04

  I know. I feel like the Teen Choice Awards, though, was like all that, like, it was like everything, though.

• 8:46Speaker 00

  It was, yeah. They were handing out surfboards left and right.

• 8:49Speaker 04

  Everything, especially because like my, so my sisters are a little bit older than me. They're six and seven years older than me. And so like, everything they were into, I was into.

• 8:57Speaker 00

  Six, seven.

• 8:58Speaker 04

  And they were six, seven. They were so obsessed with the Teen Choice Awards, as was I. And then as I got older, like, I got to attend a few times. And I remember, like, my heart was, like, racing being an attendee. I wasn't nominated for anything. I was just going. And I was like, oh, my God.

• 9:12Speaker 01

  So cool.

• 9:13Speaker 04

  This is like, this is, I peaked. This is everything I've ever wanted in my life.

• 9:16Speaker 00

  You peaked. I, I think there was a lot more in your career after that.

• 9:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, absolutely.

• 9:20Speaker 04

  Yeah, I didn't know that, though. At the time, I was just like, this is what, this is it, guys? I'm gonna, I got to the Teen Choice Awards.

• 9:26Speaker 01

  We actually, I remember a very cringe moment that we hosted the Teen Choice Awards.

• 9:30Speaker 00

  Just one cringe moment?

• 9:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, and they put us on like, the rigging, and like, had us like, flying up in the air at one point.

• 9:36Speaker 00

  There was a gag where we were gonna start after the commercial break. It was, I actually have a soundbite.

• 9:44Speaker 00

  And after the break, we were hanging above the.

• 9:47Speaker 01

  Audience.

• 9:47Speaker 00

  Audience. And when you read that in a script, when you're getting it, because we were reading through this, like, oh, that's gonna be so fun. Because I don't know why the bit was, why were we flying up in the air? I'm not really sure.

• 9:54Speaker 01

  Who knows?

• 9:55Speaker 00

  They had to rig us before the commercial break, and the commercial breaks were quite long.

• 9:58Speaker 01

  So we were just, we're just hanging up there. Above the audience.

• 10:01Speaker 00

  And it was just so embarrassing.

• 10:03Speaker 04

  By the way, too, like, you know, obviously, back in during the Teen Choice Awards, everyone had kissed everyone. Everyone had dated everyone. And you're just like hanging in a harness over like, everyone you know.

• 10:14Speaker 01

  The drama was real.

• 10:16Speaker 04

  The lore had to go so deep. And it's like, it's so much worse when you're like, in like, an adult, like, harness diaper, and you're just like hanging over all your peers, friends, enemies. And you're just like, like, what did I agree to? Like, I know, I know what you mean. I know what you felt. I know what you mean.

• 10:33Speaker 00

  We're so thrilled that you're on the pod with us. If you don't mind me asking, where are you zooming from or calling in from?

• 10:40Speaker 04

  I'm zooming from my mom's best friend's house.

• 10:42Speaker 00

  Nice.

• 10:42Speaker 04

  Once I'm done with this, we're playing mahjong all day. Because I have like, yeah, it's really nice. I've got like, a very busy month coming up with like, press and just like, work and stuff. So it's really nice to be able to kind of have like, days where we're just doing like, family stuff.

• 10:57Speaker 01

  That's great.

• 10:58Speaker 04

  Last night, I went to go see my niece, who was 10 months old.

• 11:01Speaker 01

  Congratulations.

• 11:02Speaker 04

  They're like, you know, it's just like, family time is so great. And so, especially when you're like, sandwiched by such busyness.

• 11:10Speaker 00

  Yeah. So where did you grow up, then?

• 11:12Speaker 04

  I grew up in Simi Valley, California.

• 11:15Speaker 01

  Nice.

• 11:16Speaker 04

  Simi heads, rise up, what's up?

• 11:18Speaker 00

  Rise up.

• 11:19Speaker 04

  Have you guys spent much time in Simi Valley? Because we, I know that a lot of people shot music videos out there.

• 11:24Speaker 01

  We shot the Hold On music video out there. And I shot a TV show with my brother Franklin out there. At the Hummingbird Nest Ranch.

• 11:32Speaker 00

  Claim to fame.

• 11:33Speaker 04

  Yes, of course, the Hummingbird Nest Ranch. Yes. Did you guys ever go to Skate Lab out there when it was open?

• 11:38Speaker 01

  Skate Lab? I think so. That sounds very cool.

• 11:41Speaker 00

  Cooler than we were.

• 11:42Speaker 01

  Yeah, I don't think we were cool enough to go to Skate Lab. They wouldn't let us in.

• 11:45Speaker 04

  Yeah, probably not. Just, you know, you're probably right. You're not cool enough. No, it was, it's not there anymore. But it was kind of like, one of our claim to fames in Simi Valley. It was the largest indoor skate park in North America.

• 11:56Speaker 01

  Sounds like somewhere I would have loved to go.

• 11:58Speaker 04

  It was pretty spectacular. It, I kept like.

• 12:01Speaker 00

  Did you skate, Joey? You a skater?

• 12:02Speaker 04

  I was. I did skateboard a lot when I was younger.

• 12:05Speaker 00

  Oh, cool.

• 12:06Speaker 04

  I had to make a decision after I got hurt many, many times, whether I wanted to be doing that or whether I wanted to be an actress.

• 12:13Speaker 01

  Or have a successful career as an actress, yes.

• 12:15Speaker 04

  I think I want to be an actress. I got hurt a lot of times while I was working. And then I got in trouble.

• 12:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, can't do that. Insurance comes with it. Sorry.

• 12:23Speaker 00

  Has your skateboarding abilities come in handy, like, on any films? Have you been able to skateboard? You're like, I got this. It's like, is that in your resume?

• 12:29Speaker 04

  I actually learned how to skate for a movie when I was younger. And then that's kind of what got me into it. And then I, I just happened to live five minutes away from this fabulous place for most of my teens.

• 12:41Speaker 01

  That's so, I would have loved to live a place like that.

• 12:42Speaker 04

  And it was really, it was really great. But we were very, like, you know, Tony Hawk came there sometimes, Justin Bieber skated there sometimes. So that's why I asked, because like, it was kind of weirdly like, a hotspot occasionally.

• 12:52Speaker 01

  I remember this place, because I grew up being huge skaters now, and that you're bringing it up, like, it was like, considered like Woodward of the West. Like, we had Woodward out by us in Pennsylvania, which was like, the, if you were a skater, you went there for camp. Do you remember Woodward? Like?

• 13:04Speaker 00

  No, it was never that good.

• 13:06Speaker 01

  Okay, okay. Well, it was the place to go.

• 13:09Speaker 00

  I know Squidward.

• 13:10Speaker 01

  Okay, that's something.

• 13:12Speaker 04

  My favorite clarinet playing squid.

• 13:14Speaker 01

  Ah, the best.

• 13:16Speaker 00

  So grumpy.

• 13:17Speaker 04

  What a talent, you know? What a talent.

• 13:19Speaker 01

  So please tell us, we are so, I'm so happy for you with Practical Magic 2. It's so awesome.

• 13:24Speaker 00

  So exciting.

• 13:24Speaker 01

  The first one is incredible, obviously. But now, so many years later, you had to wait for the girls to grow up. And you're the perfect casting for this.

• 13:31Speaker 04

  How did you guys decide on who gets to do the sound effects?

• 13:34Speaker 01

  They just gave it to Joe when we started doing this.

• 13:36Speaker 04

  Does it rotate every time?

• 13:38Speaker 00

  And I have new ones each time.

• 13:40Speaker 01

  It's really annoying.

• 13:41Speaker 04

  No, I think you're doing a great job. You seem like the kind of person who would have used the privilege.

• 13:46Speaker 00

  I, I did request that. I had an offline email to the producers, and I said, hey, guys.

• 13:50Speaker 01

  He's like, I'm not great at talking. Can you give me?

• 13:53Speaker 00

  Give me buttons.

• 13:55Speaker 01

  Make this easy.

• 13:57Speaker 00

  My brain is going everywhere. It gets me something fun to look at and like, what's, ooh, what's this button?

• 14:00Speaker 04

  Give them three loaded.

• 14:02Speaker 00

  That's a new one.

• 14:02Speaker 04

  What's your?

• 14:03Speaker 00

  That's the newest one.

• 14:04Speaker 04

  Wait, what is this?

• 14:06Speaker 01

  Pikachu.

• 14:07Speaker 04

  What does it say?

• 14:09Speaker 04

  What does that say?

• 14:10Speaker 01

  Pikachu. It's Pikachu singing Pikachu.

• 14:13Speaker 00

  It kind of sounds like. It's a Pokemon character.

• 14:16Speaker 01

  It's kind of like, fuck you.

• 14:18Speaker 04

  I thought it was like, bless you. I was like.

• 14:21Speaker 00

  Bless you. Actually, that's good to know. So if at any point, if I use it, it's either bless if you sneeze, or say something that I think deserves a fuck you.

• 14:28Speaker 04

  What are you guys, because by the way, I want to talk about practical magic, of course.

• 14:31Speaker 00

  No, we will. It's okay. We love, this is all we do. We just sit around and talk shit. So it's perfect.

• 14:35Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 14:35Speaker 04

  But you know, I have, I come from, so you're three brothers. I come from three sisters. Which is like, you know, it's the best.

• 14:43Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 14:43Speaker 04

  What do you guys do if like, like, I mean, what if it happened today? What if you guys have like, a huge fight before you have to like, go interview someone?

• 14:53Speaker 00

  Before we go interview someone?

• 14:54Speaker 01

  We canceled the interview.

• 14:56Speaker 04

  You do?

• 14:57Speaker 01

  No, of course, no.

• 14:58Speaker 00

  Like, I think at this point, we've learned to just call it up. Like, what, what's wrong? Why are you upset? Or like, sorry, sorry if that was offensive.

• 15:05Speaker 04

  Oh, healthy, boring.

• 15:07Speaker 00

  Healthy, boring stuff. But there's times when we're definitely holding grudges. And those days off are spent alone.

• 15:15Speaker 01

  Meditation, therapy, you know, these types of things.

• 15:18Speaker 00

  And you know what always helps? You know what always helps, Joey? That'll keep you together.

• 15:23Speaker 04

  Oh, there you go. I was like, sound effects?

• 15:26Speaker 01

  Sound effects, primarily.

• 15:27Speaker 04

  Money and sound. By the way, sound effects, that is, I mean, listen, I was like, the class clown of my family. I was like, whenever there was tension, I'd be like, hey, look at me. And so I was like, miss sound effects when everyone was like, fighting. I'd be like.

• 15:43Speaker 01

  Same question then goes for you. Like, how do you deal with your family? You guys obviously are all in the business for the most part. And so.

• 15:49Speaker 00

  Also, let's get some names here. Your sisters' names are?

• 15:51Speaker 04

  Hunter King and Kelly King.

• 15:53Speaker 00

  Great names.

• 15:54Speaker 01

  Hunter and Kelly. Like, how do you guys deal with conflict as a family? Like, I know, like, we pretty much have to like, you know, head it off at the pass right away. Do you guys like, do that too? Or you guys bury it, call mom, vent?

• 16:05Speaker 04

  We're low-key conflict avoidant, to be honest. But some of, I mean, Hunter, God bless her, she's so conflict avoidant. Like, she just, she's such a sweetie pie, such a lover, so thoughtful. She would rather die than say that you upset her. So, but she like, lets it go. She doesn't hold on to it. Kelly is more like, you upset me, that was weird. Screw you, let's talk about it. And I'm like, cool. Me, I, I don't know. I feel like I kind of just like, let them do their thing. It's rare that they upset me to the degree where I'm like, I need to talk to them about it. You know what's interesting is like, okay, so I'm obsessed with my sisters. I love them so much. Of course, we like, annoy each other sometimes and get into it. But I feel like there's like, a sibling thing where it's like,

• 16:49Speaker 04

  you know, if you're like, mom is yelling at your sibling, and even if you're annoyed with your sibling, you just like, won't let that slide. It's like, only you can yell at your sibling. So like, that's kind of our relationship where it's like, oh, my God, I'm obsessed with my mom too. But if my mom is like, ragging on one of my sisters, I'm like, that, you can't do that here. That is not welcome here. Like, that is. Talk about her like that. Only I talk about her like that. So.

• 17:13Speaker 01

  That's great that you have each other's backs like that, though.

• 17:16Speaker 04

  It's like, to a degree where it's like, it's, it's, it is the classic, like, no one can talk to you like that except for me vibes. Which I think is like, it's sweet. It's really nice. It's like, very, it's cool to have people that are built into your life that like, no matter what, you will see them grow up and become. Like, there's definitely phases of life with your siblings where you're like, oh, like, I wonder if that was my friend, if we would have stayed friends, or if we would have.

• 17:41Speaker 00

  We always talk about this.

• 17:42Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's like.

• 17:43Speaker 00

  Will we really be friends if we weren't siblings?

• 17:46Speaker 04

  And there's phases, there's phases where you're like.

• 17:48Speaker 00

  I don't think so.

• 17:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, what was the answer?

• 17:50Speaker 00

  I think we wouldn't, I think we were all so different.

• 17:52Speaker 01

  We are pretty different.

• 17:53Speaker 00

  And there's like.

• 17:54Speaker 04

  Me and my sisters too, yeah.

• 17:56Speaker 00

  Like, that's the reason we're siblings. And also because our parents had sex.

• 18:00Speaker 04

  They did, indeed. But nature nurture is so interesting. Nature does so much. And I feel like there's phases of life, for sure, where I'm like, I don't know if we would have stayed friends. Like, that's like, you know, who knows? But like, because, and, and we're all in a phase right now where we're like, best friends so tight. Thousand percent would be friends in real life, kind of vibe. But like, because we've gone through those phases where we weren't sure, and now, now we're here. It's like, cool to have, like, a forced, almost, in a good way, front row seat to, like, people's lives that, um, you know, maybe you otherwise, like, wouldn't have because of blood, which is like-

• 18:34Speaker 00

  How often do you get to see your siblings?

• 18:36Speaker 04

  A lot. We live very close to each other. Um, my oldest sister, especially because of the new baby, I go over to the house, probably like, I try to go like twice a week if I can.

• 18:45Speaker 00

  Oh, yeah.

• 18:46Speaker 04

  Thank you. Babies are dope. Like, I love this kid. She's so awesome. So I see Kelly like twice a week, probably. And Hunter travels a lot for work, as do I. So it's like, when she's in town, I'll try to see her like two, three times a week.

• 18:59Speaker 00

  Best parts of each other, you know?

• 19:00Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 19:00Speaker 04

  Nah, but then we'll go to town for a long time. But we FaceTime and talk on the phone, like, most, like, four times a week, probably.

• 19:07Speaker 01

  It's great.

• 19:07Speaker 04

  Just to be like-

• 19:08Speaker 01

  Me and Joe are gym FaceTimers, like, and, and callers. Yeah, we, we catch up. That's when we catch up.

• 19:13Speaker 00

  Yeah. For the most part. You're on the, you're on the treadmill.

• 19:15Speaker 01

  I'm on the treadmill.

• 19:16Speaker 00

  You're walking, mostly. And I'm waking up. So it's not-

• 19:19Speaker 04

  That's what I do with my, my, I do gym stuff, too. It's like, when I'm on the tread, I'm like, oh, I'm so bored. Let me talk to my sister.

• 19:26Speaker 00

  Somebody distracted me.

• 19:26Speaker 01

  It's great. It helps. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

• 19:30Speaker 00

  You know that feeling when something fits just right? Your go-to jeans, your perfectly customized coffee order, a playlist that somehow knows exactly what song you need next? Personalization makes a difference, and your insurance should be no different.

• 19:41Speaker 01

  State Farm can help personalize coverage that fits your life and your budget, because your insurance coverage should feel right for you.

• 19:48Speaker 00

  Lucky good neighbor, State Farm is there. Hey, Jonas is brought to you by Almond Breeze. It's time for some questions from the producers. All right. Who started drinking Almond Breeze almond milk first?

• 19:57Speaker 01

  Actually, I think that was you, Nick.

• 19:58Speaker 00

  I think it was.

• 19:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're like, you know, guys, I tried this almond breeze in my coffee today.

• 20:02Speaker 00

  Changed the game for me. All right, who's the most likely to finish the last carton of almond breeze and not replace it? That's Kevin. Kevin, of course. Yeah.

• 20:10Speaker 01

  That's someone else's job.

• 20:11Speaker 00

  Take it, Kev. What's the most random place you drank almond breeze? The last time I visited the Empire State Building. Ah, that's a random place, for sure. I've noticed you guys really like almond breeze almond milk. Who has the most specific way of drinking it?

• 20:24Speaker 01

  Ooh.

• 20:24Speaker 00

  Ooh, um, Kevin's, you know what, what I've found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself.

• 20:30Speaker 01

  Yeah, straight off the dome.

• 20:32Speaker 00

  And he usually does it before show.

• 20:33Speaker 01

  Yeah, just really getting myself going.

• 20:35Speaker 00

  He needs it on stage. Okay, last question. Why do you guys like almond breeze so much?

• 20:40Speaker 01

  Well, it just tastes great. It's a great alternative.

• 20:42Speaker 00

  It is great. It's simply because it's really good. True. Try almond breeze. Trust us, it's really good. You've probably heard that good things come in threes.

• 20:49Speaker 01

  No, I've never heard that.

• 20:51Speaker 00

  Kevin. Yeah, you have. You've got bacon, lettuce, tomato, rock, paper, scissors. Joe, Nick, Kevin.

• 20:57Speaker 01

  Yeah, and that, that is a good one.

• 20:59Speaker 00

  Or because it's cold season, Kleenex lotion tissues.

• 21:02Speaker 01

  There's no three in Kleenex tissues.

• 21:05Speaker 00

  That's where you're wrong, Kev, my friend. Listen, Kleenex lotion tissues have three-in-one skin-loving benefits. It protects hands, soothes, and moisturizes your skin.

• 21:13Speaker 01

  I never realized you were so into skincare, Joe.

• 21:17Speaker 00

  Come on, who doesn't love to moisturize?

• 21:19Speaker 01

  You've got a good point.

• 21:20Speaker 00

  Oh, and don't forget to tell them about the three thick layers made with coconut oil and olive. Wow, good things really do come in threes. For whatever happens next, grab Kleenex.

• 21:29Speaker 04

  Because I feel like maybe sisters are just like this, but maybe brothers are too. Like, what you do talk about can just vary. It can just be like, oh, my, like, I dropped my Stanley cup today and it chipped, like, genuinely, like, nothing.

• 21:42Speaker 00

  It's Stanley talk. It's literally nothing.

• 21:44Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 21:45Speaker 00

  It's a hell of a lot of nothing. I mean, there's usually-

• 21:47Speaker 01

  Me and you would talk, we can talk about nothing for a long time.

• 21:49Speaker 00

  I'm not a big nothing talker.

• 21:50Speaker 01

  No, no, Nick's like, pretty like, he calls and you know, like, you're gonna talk about something and then you're gonna hang up.

• 21:56Speaker 00

  This is amazing. I was actually, I was watching you in the car. You, uh, I think you call, or your wife called, or you called, and you were like, hey, sleep well? Great, all right, call, talk to you later, bye. Love you. I was like, wow.

• 22:07Speaker 01

  Yeah, exactly.

• 22:08Speaker 00

  It was, and it was efficient, it was lovely, and it was like, we're good. And that's how it is with Nick. It's like, he's like, what's up? This morning I called you. Hey, I'm like, hey, what's up? Like, hey, I'm like, uh, do you wanna go to the gym? And you're like, yeah, I'm gonna eat first. I'm like, all right, see you in the gym. You're nailing the voice, by the way. The voice is spot on.

• 22:23Speaker 01

  It's just direct.

• 22:24Speaker 00

  Kevin's like, Kevin's like, hey, I'm- He wanna talk, he wants to get into it. I wanna like, I wanna, I wanna know all the things I don't need to know. Like, why?

• 22:30Speaker 04

  Yes, I'm-

• 22:31Speaker 01

  Am I your first call or second call?

• 22:33Speaker 00

  You're my first call.

• 22:34Speaker 01

  Oh, wow.

• 22:35Speaker 00

  Well, it's because you're on the East Coast.

• 22:36Speaker 04

  How's that make you feel?

• 22:36Speaker 01

  I'm on the East, no, I, because I, I can talk for longer.

• 22:39Speaker 00

  Is that earlier? I don't mind at all.

• 22:41Speaker 04

  You don't mind at all?

• 22:41Speaker 00

  I've got stuff I'm doing. I'm, I'm doing stuff. It's okay.

• 22:44Speaker 01

  He's busy. He's a busy man.

• 22:45Speaker 04

  Wait, okay, forgive me for not remembering this off the top of my head. Uh, Joe, you're the youngest, right?

• 22:50Speaker 00

  Um, I am, um, youngest at heart. Nick's the young, we have, so we have-

• 22:55Speaker 04

  Oh, Nick, you're the youngest.

• 22:56Speaker 00

  We have another brother, Franklin Jonas, who's the youngest.

• 22:58Speaker 04

  Of course, Frank, the youngest of you three is what I mean.

• 23:01Speaker 00

  Yeah, no, no, so the youngest of, so, so he goes, Kevin, me, Nick, Franklin.

• 23:06Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 23:07Speaker 00

  But would you have thought that, that Joe was the youngest because of his childish behavior?

• 23:12Speaker 04

  Yes, exactly.

• 23:13Speaker 00

  Or is it because we're sitting and you thought, no, maybe he's just that way, the way we're sitting.

• 23:17Speaker 04

  No, I just, I feel like you and I are like, we have the same kind of like-

• 23:21Speaker 00

  Joe's no.

• 23:22Speaker 04

  Yeah, Joe's no, exactly, that's right. But Nick, you're like, my, my husband's like that. My, I see, I'm a chatter, chit, chit, chit, chit, chit, like, about nothing. And my husband, like, he'll, of course, I'm, I'm usually just talking and he's just kinda like hanging on.

• 23:37Speaker 00

  He's taking it in.

• 23:38Speaker 04

  And then, like, he'll, like, I'll say, like, this long thing, and I'll be like, isn't it crazy that, like, anesthesia exists? And it's like a long-winded, like, it's like train of thought, right? And then, like, and then I'll be done, and he'll be like, yeah, and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna call my sister and say the same exact thing.

• 23:55Speaker 01

  It's like this new trend you see online. It's like, I feel like you just don't see me. And it's like, no, I, I see you.

• 24:01Speaker 00

  But, but I will balance this with, Nick, if you need to just call to, to like, um, to vent about something.

• 24:09Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 24:10Speaker 00

  He will be like, he'll, he'll lock in. Let's go. Like, if, if you're like, yo, I need to call you just because this is really bothering me, like, or this thing's bothering me, he'd be like, he's locked in. He's sat. Tell, tell me if you have this with your sisters, but we have a thing where we say, all right, I gotta crank it up. And basically what that means is, I need 15 minutes. To bitch about something. Where basically, you have to agree with my take on this and support me. Agree, but I will have to be like, with you.

• 24:36Speaker 01

  Like, you, you gotta be there with me.

• 24:37Speaker 00

  You can't be, for instance, this is a hypothetical situation, but it would be something like-

• 24:42Speaker 04

  I'm gonna crank it up for a sec.

• 24:42Speaker 00

  Okay, this really pissed me off. This person did this thing. And they can't chime in with, well, maybe they were- Maybe they're having a bad day. It's like, no, you have to let me crank it up. Do you have that with your sisters?

• 24:54Speaker 04

  Of course, yes. We don't call it crank it up, but I really like that. It's just-

• 24:57Speaker 00

  You're welcome to take it.

• 24:58Speaker 04

  I have this with my mom, too. If you call and you just say, okay, I just need to vent for a second. Like, there's nothing anyone can, like, don't interrupt me to try to see the light of day. Don't try to-

• 25:09Speaker 00

  It's like, you know, I'm a good person. Let me have this.

• 25:12Speaker 04

  Yeah, exactly, right. By the way, do you ever do that, too, where you're like, talking badly about maybe each other, maybe someone else?

• 25:18Speaker 00

  I love them, but-

• 25:19Speaker 04

  And then, and then in the end, you're like, and I adore them, and they're the best person I know. And, and then, like, every time I do that with my sisters, they're like, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, we, we know you're loving, we know you're a good person.

• 25:30Speaker 01

  It's fine, you're, yeah, yeah.

• 25:30Speaker 04

  Go on.

• 25:31Speaker 00

  It's like, I know you love your sister. Yes, I know that, but what's bothering you about them today?

• 25:35Speaker 01

  It's okay. You're allowed to be annoyed.

• 25:37Speaker 04

  No, I really wonder, though. I really have to wonder, like, when I'm the one that they're talking about together.

• 25:44Speaker 00

  Right. They're saying it too, though. They're saying, you know, we love her.

• 25:46Speaker 04

  Say.

• 25:47Speaker 00

  We love her so much.

• 25:48Speaker 04

  I'm so perfect. What do they say?

• 25:50Speaker 00

  That's how I feel.

• 25:51Speaker 01

  What could they say?

• 25:52Speaker 00

  It's just, you honestly, it could just be like, oh, she's so perfect, oh.

• 25:57Speaker 01

  How does she do it?

• 26:02Speaker 04

  Why is she like that?

• 26:03Speaker 01

  Oh, God, she got another huge movie. What?

• 26:06Speaker 00

  Another award. We have to speak a little bit. I love this sibling talk, okay, but we gotta speak a little bit about your, your incredible career. Starting with, and, and I got this little sheet, uh, which gave me this information, which I'm absolutely obsessed with, because it's my favorite cereal ever. Your first gig was in a Life cereal commercial.

• 26:25Speaker 04

  That's right.

• 26:25Speaker 00

  It's your favorite cereal. That's my favorite cereal.

• 26:27Speaker 01

  I agree. It's actually Alina's favorite now, too.

• 26:29Speaker 04

  What is your favorite flavor of Life cereal?

• 26:32Speaker 00

  Cinnamon.

• 26:33Speaker 04

  Me too.

• 26:33Speaker 00

  So you're how old when you get this job?

• 26:35Speaker 04

  Four.

• 26:36Speaker 00

  So you get this job, and soon after that, you start booking job after job.

• 26:40Speaker 04

  Mostly commercials. I did, I think I did, like, 75 commercials.

• 26:44Speaker 00

  Seventy-five commercials, casual. What was the gig? The first film gig that you got, and you're like, oh, it's on. I'm starting this career as an actress.

• 26:54Speaker 04

  You know, it's funny, because you're not thinking about it like that when you're a kid, you know, you're just having a good time.

• 26:58Speaker 00

  It's just fun.

• 26:59Speaker 04

  Yeah, you're just having a good time, and you're like, mom's putting away your money for you, like, so you can, like-

• 27:05Speaker 00

  One would hope, yeah.

• 27:07Speaker 04

  My first thing that I ever did that was a film, because I did commercials, and I did TV guest spots, you know, CSI's, all that jazz. Um, and my first film was, I was cast as, like, Adam Sandler's dead daughter in a flashback in a movie called Rain Over Me. And, and then I was like, no, I had like three seconds of screen time. Um, but that was my first movie. And then I, like, led a short film when I was like six. Um, and that was really cool. But the first time I was like, oh, this is like, now I'm like cognitively aware of how much responsibility this is, and also how much I love it, and how much work it takes and work ethic it takes, like, was, was a movie I did called Ramona and Vezus.

• 27:50Speaker 04

  And I was nine years old when I did that, and I was like- I was so tired and also like fulfilled at nine, which is such an interesting feeling.

• 28:04Speaker 04

  And I knew that that I wanted to try and do this forever then. But you know, what's funny is when you're nine years old, you're not like, oh, and there's a possibility it won't work out. You're just kind of like, this is what I want to do, so I'm gonna do it. And luckily, there's like a confidence, like a kind of a false confidence that comes with that, that I think really helped carry me through some difficult moments in my career. Lots and lots and lots of rejection that I just did not let phase me. Lots of, you know, bizarre moments where you're just like being told things about how you look and how you act and when you're a kid. And but I do think that there was something that I just, I don't know what it was. I just always had like a natural confidence as a kid that I've

• 28:45Speaker 04

  actually lost a lot of now that I'm older. But it did carry me through, I think, a lot of the feelings that might have come with inhibition. And I just felt really uninhibited growing up as an actress, which was, I think, probably the most helpful tool that I had.

• 29:01Speaker 00

  That's amazing. That is really cool. And also, you know, I think the time that we met you was around the time Ramona B just came out. Big announcement when it happened. You carried yourself, you know, so professionally through that, that, that whole press run and the movie coming out. I mean, from my memory, we met you a few times during that time.

• 29:18Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 29:18Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 29:18Speaker 00

  And

• 29:19Speaker 04

  I think I was just having so much fun and I was so hyper. And now I'm like, I'm like, was I too hyper? But as you're a kid,

• 29:25Speaker 00

  Well, I think, you know, actor kids, like, and we were working at a young age. So we kind of had some of that actor kid where you, you're like told to look somebody in the eye, shake their hand and, you know, carry an adult conversation because that's what you have to do.

• 29:36Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're a kid in your own world.

• 29:38Speaker 00

  And there are, I will say, there are some that, that as they get older, I think, lose track of, of what it means to just be a person that's not being handed a script that is like, this is who you are today, to actually develop your own personality. And it makes a lot of sense based on what you've spoken about with your family dynamic and, you know, your mom and all that stuff, that that family is really important to you. And I think it, it's the only thing that helps you as a child performer, sort of not end up with a person, as a person with no personality, who's just like waiting to be told where to stand and what to say, you know?

• 30:05Speaker 04

  Yeah, it's really grounding to have like a real life. Like when I would come home from work and I would come back to Simi Valley from like wherever I was traveling, I had like a genuine, like real life at, at home. I had like real hobbies, real interests, like

• 30:19Speaker 01

  That's so great.

• 30:20Speaker 04

  real addiction to Sims.

• 30:22Speaker 01

  Oh, dude.

• 30:23Speaker 00

  Hold on.

• 30:24Speaker 01

  Now we're talking.

• 30:26Speaker 04

  Six hours a day I would play as long as my mom would let me in the summertime.

• 30:30Speaker 01

  Do you still play sometimes?

• 30:32Speaker 04

  No, I haven't played in a long time because I know that I would get

• 30:35Speaker 00

  She's an adult, Kevin.

• 30:36Speaker 01

  It's fully, it's amazing now.

• 30:38Speaker 00

  It's back. No, I love it. It's all on. Put your Sim in the pool, take the ladder away.

• 30:41Speaker 04

  Take the ladder out. Take the ladder out. Wait for the grim reaper to arrive.

• 30:46Speaker 00

  Just everyone, everyone's done it.

• 30:48Speaker 04

  Take out all the doors, start a house fire.

• 30:51Speaker 00

  Yeah, so funny. This episode is brought to you by State Farm.

• 30:54Speaker 01

  There's something satisfying about getting something that fits you perfectly.

• 30:57Speaker 00

  Like child sized fuzzy socks?

• 30:59Speaker 01

  I was thinking more like a horror movie subscription, but sure.

• 31:02Speaker 00

  Like child sized fuzzy socks? And that's the point. When something is personalized for you, it fits differently. State Farm can help you personalize coverage to fit your life and budget. So basically, child sized fuzzy socks level fit? You said it, not me.

• 31:14Speaker 01

  Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.

• 31:16Speaker 00

  Hey, Jonas is brought to you by Almond Breeze. It's time for some questions from the producers. All right. Who started drinking Almond Breeze almond milk first?

• 31:23Speaker 01

  Actually, I think that was you, Nick.

• 31:24Speaker 00

  I think it was.

• 31:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, you're like, you know, guys, I tried this almond breeze in my coffee today.

• 31:28Speaker 00

  Changed the game for me. All right. Who's the most likely to finish the last carton of almond breeze and not replace it? That's Kevin. Kevin, of course. Yeah.

• 31:36Speaker 01

  That's someone else's job.

• 31:37Speaker 00

  Take it, Kev. What's the most random place you drank almond breeze? The last time I visited the Empire State Building. Ah, that's a random place for sure. I've noticed you guys really like almond breeze almond milk. Who has the most specific way of drinking it? Oh, um, Kevin's, you know what's I've found very interesting is how you will drink a carton to yourself.

• 31:56Speaker 01

  Yeah, straight up the dome.

• 31:58Speaker 00

  And he usually does it before show.

• 31:59Speaker 01

  Yeah, just really getting myself going.

• 32:02Speaker 00

  He needs it on stage. Okay, last question. Why do you guys like almond breeze so much?

• 32:06Speaker 01

  It just tastes great. It's a great alternative.

• 32:08Speaker 00

  It is great. It's simply because it's really good. True. Try almond breeze. Trust us. It's really good. You've probably heard that good things come in threes.

• 32:15Speaker 01

  No, I've never heard that.

• 32:17Speaker 00

  Kevin. Yeah, you have. You've got bacon, lettuce, tomato, rock, paper, scissors. Joe, Nick, Kevin.

• 32:23Speaker 01

  Yeah, that is a good one.

• 32:25Speaker 00

  Or because it's cold season, Kleenex lotion tissues.

• 32:28Speaker 01

  There's no three in Kleenex tissues.

• 32:31Speaker 00

  That's where you're wrong, Kev, my friend. Listen, Kleenex lotion tissues have three in one skin-loving benefits. It protects hands, soothes and moisturizes your skin.

• 32:39Speaker 01

  I never realized you were so into skincare, Joe.

• 32:43Speaker 00

  Come on, who doesn't love to moisturize?

• 32:45Speaker 01

  You've got a good point.

• 32:46Speaker 00

  Oh, and don't forget to tell them about the three thick layers made with coconut oil and aloe. Wow, good things really do come in threes. For whatever happens next, grab Kleenex.

• 32:55Speaker 04

  How old were you guys when you started, um, you know, performing?

• 32:59Speaker 00

  Well, Nick started when you were like six or seven. Six or seven, correct? Yeah, I did Broadway first as a kid. We all do like commercials and stuff, but we started around, you know, six, seven, nine, 10 ish?

• 33:14Speaker 01

  My first open casting call was for Miracle on 34th Street when they were potentially going to go with a boy instead of a girl for the film.

• 33:20Speaker 00

  My first commercial was for Burger King and it was for a like a Scooby Doo crossover.

• 33:28Speaker 01

  Like the thing.

• 33:29Speaker 00

  Yeah. And so, no, they had a movie coming out, so they were doing like the collaboration.

• 33:33Speaker 04

  Was it Spooky Island?

• 33:34Speaker 01

  Spooky Island.

• 33:35Speaker 00

  Yeah. And they had like put, and like they made a mold of my face. And I was like, I think eight years old.

• 33:41Speaker 01

  It was your birthday?

• 33:42Speaker 00

  It was on my birthday as you the mold.

• 33:43Speaker 04

  Were you so scared?

• 33:44Speaker 00

  I was terrified. It didn't work. So I had to come back again. And I remember crying after we left and I was just so devastated. And our mom was like, props to her. She was like, you don't have to do this. But the family is expecting the money from what's? No, she was like, she's like, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. And I was like, I want to do it. So I went back, did the mold again. And then like, yeah, they ripped my face off and

• 34:05Speaker 04

  It's so scary. The ones where they like put the straws in the nose.

• 34:09Speaker 00

  That's what it was. Yeah. And you just sit there for like an hour and a half and you just close your eyes like, what? This is insane. We haven't figured out a better way to do it yet?

• 34:19Speaker 04

  No, I mean, genuinely, that is like, I, that's like one thing. If I ever, like, anytime I work on a job, I'm like, hey, I don't, even, even if it's just like a job where it's just like people in a room talking, like I just warn everybody at the beginning. I'm like, I'm not doing that thing.

• 34:32Speaker 00

  Not put straws up my nose.

• 34:34Speaker 01

  I'm not doing that thing.

• 34:35Speaker 00

  And you're putting clay all over my face for an hour and a half.

• 34:37Speaker 01

  Are you claustrophobic?

• 34:38Speaker 04

  I am claustrophobic. Yeah. Because Xanax will get an MRI.

• 34:43Speaker 00

  Okay. So, so you're, you're about to go into a press tour for Practical Magic 2, correct?

• 34:49Speaker 04

  Yeah, we've started a little bit, but yeah.

• 34:51Speaker 00

  So obviously you've got some newcomers in this movie. Uh, I think her name's, is it Sandra?

• 34:56Speaker 04

  Sandra. I think it's, that's Balok.

• 34:59Speaker 00

  Oh, okay. And the other one, her name is Nick, Nikki.

• 35:02Speaker 04

  Nicole.

• 35:03Speaker 00

  Nicole. Okay.

• 35:04Speaker 04

  Nicole. Nicole Kidman.

• 35:06Speaker 00

  Yes, yes. Um, this is your second movie with Nicole Kidman, right?

• 35:11Speaker 04

  That is correct.

• 35:12Speaker 00

  That's incredible. Not a lot of people can say that. Um, also, not a lot of people can say that they are Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG and Critics Choice Award nominee for the act, which was incredible, by the way. You've worked with some pretty amazing actors. I'm not going to ask you to pick your favorite, but just pick your least favorite. No. Um, I, I do have a question. Across all the actors you've had the chance to work with, some incredible names. Um, is there an onset, not memory or, but like a thing you learned from somebody else? You don't have to say who it is, where you're like, wow, that's a movie star doing a movie star thing that you've now adopted as number one on the call sheet, which for those that don't know, that means you're the, the top, top

• 35:56Speaker 00

  person on the call sheet. Straight offers.

• 36:00Speaker 00

  Straight cash on me.

• 36:01Speaker 04

  Straight, yeah, only cash, fast ass grow. That's a good question. Um, something that comes to mind, I mean, there's a lot of people that I feel like have taught me so much along the, because I grew up on sets, just like, you know, you guys did too. It's like, you get it. It's like you're working with adults. You're kind of just like a bit of a sponge. Sometimes you can't even remember where you learned something, but you know someone awesome taught it to you. Um, but I feel like Patricia Arquette on The Act, I had some really sensitive scenes where I was like doing, um, like stepping up my clothes on for the first time. And that was like very, you know, I had this like, always had this very flippant attitude towards stuff like that, where I was like, yeah, like I,

• 36:45Speaker 04

  I don't want to make a big thing of it. I don't want anyone else to feel uncomfortable. So I'm not going to be uncomfortable. So it's like, fine. You know what I mean? But ultimately, there was like, like, you know, a couple moments where Patricia felt like I wasn't being like, true to myself, like respecting what I really felt, which was just like little common courtesies that I could have been asking for. And she was super protective and super, like super kind to everybody about it. So, but she was just like setting up boundaries for me to kind of learn and, and take with me in the future in a very kind way. That was just like, if I protect myself in this way, I'm ultimately protecting everybody else too, from feeling uncomfortable as well. And that was a really

• 37:29Speaker 04

  powerful lesson because I think when you are a child actor, you sometimes grow up being a little too agreeable, you know, a little too people-pleasy and a little too like, yeah, whatever. Like in situations where it's kind of like not, yeah, whatever. Um, and you can always be kind about it. You don't have to be forceful. You don't have to be rude. But there is like a, a thing that I think you're, like I had to unlearn, which was just like being quote down for whatever, whatever anyone needed of me. Um, which you can still be like that, but like protect yourself a little bit more. And so she kind of just helped me create that understanding of what that boundary would look like. And I thought that was pretty amazing. Because she just, she took such good care of me on

• 38:12Speaker 04

  that set and we took good care of each other because it was a very, very dramatic piece. And I learned a lot from her, just like as a person, as an actress and as like, you know, as a, she's like a natural mother. And I think that that's so beautiful.

• 38:27Speaker 01

  What a great answer.

• 38:28Speaker 00

  I love her and I'd love to have her on this pod actually as well. So please put

• 38:32Speaker 04

  Patricia Arquette is the coolest.

• 38:34Speaker 00

  Yeah, she's incredible.

• 38:34Speaker 04

  She probably say yes, you know, she's just like down. She's down for it all. She's down to clown. Hit buzzers and sound effects.

• 38:41Speaker 00

  That's actually a free record.

• 38:41Speaker 04

  He wants to say where Joe's sitting though, if she does this podcast.

• 38:44Speaker 00

  She can. I'll be on Zoom. Walk us through what the next couple of weeks looks like with the promo schedule. Are you, are you traveling a ton? Are you doing it from LA? What's the vibes?

• 38:53Speaker 04

  The vibes are LA and travel. I'm traveling to London and New York, back to LA, then back to New York, which will be great. Um, I'm very, very pleased to be on a press tour. Press tours are fun. They're scary just for the flights, but everything else is great. I'm a little bit afraid of flying. Always have been gotten worse as I've gotten older. What can you do?

• 39:17Speaker 00

  It does get worse as you get older. I feel like I, I feel the same.

• 39:19Speaker 04

  Everything does, huh?

• 39:22Speaker 01

  Kind of.

• 39:24Speaker 04

  I keep saying, and I do believe this to be true. When I turned 25 and my frontal lobe allegedly fully developed, I hated it. Oh, my God. It was like the worst year ever. 25 and 26 were terrible. I felt too, I felt too aware. I was like, oh, I just wish I was like dumber just like half a percent, which is like what I think the frontal lobe thing did. Turned up something too aware. And I was, I, I, I feel like that is something people need to prepare people for better. How much you will suffer.

• 39:58Speaker 00

  You know too much now.

• 40:00Speaker 04

  And you also feel like you know, and then because you know too much, you feel like you know nothing about anything.

• 40:06Speaker 00

  And also you're suspicious about everything, too.

• 40:09Speaker 04

  Correct. Correct. Absolutely. Yeah, I do feel like the fear of flying does get a little bit worse as you get older. I do have a, I do have a rule, though, with myself. I don't take anything on domestic flights because it's just like not long enough. Just got to get through it.

• 40:25Speaker 00

  That plane could always get diverted and then all of a sudden it's like, you're an hour in and it's not, it's not right.

• 40:30Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 40:30Speaker 00

  It's all crazy. Yeah.

• 40:32Speaker 04

  Um, but with overseas flights, I always take a little sleep aid. Um, and I usually wait till like, if it's, I'm coming from LA to overseas, I usually wait till we get near New York because I want to be out when we fly over the ocean.

• 40:46Speaker 00

  Yeah.

• 40:46Speaker 04

  Or out over that ocean. Oh, my God.

• 40:48Speaker 00

  That's not fun. Uh, so your husband, will he be joining you for this, this trip or, or is he working at the moment?

• 40:54Speaker 04

  He'll be staying home with our lovely dog.

• 40:56Speaker 00

  You have how many dogs?

• 40:57Speaker 04

  Her name's Fable. Uh, she's a rescue from Romania.

• 41:01Speaker 00

  Wow. We love a rescue. We love the name Fable. Are you in Romania when you saw this dog? Or are you just?

• 41:06Speaker 04

  Yes, I was. I was working there. Yeah, I was working there for seven months on a show called We Were the Lucky Ones. And it was a very sad show, very heavy subject matter. And I was just like, in the winter of Romania, missing my dog and my family so much. And I was like, I'm gonna go volunteer at a shelter. Um, that's like-

• 41:26Speaker 00

  Always, there's always a little room in your mind for-

• 41:29Speaker 04

  There's always, it's like the first problem. Exactly. Because I don't know if you guys know this, there's like an incredible stray dog problem in Romania. They are everywhere.

• 41:39Speaker 00

  Wow, did not know that.

• 41:40Speaker 04

  Unbelievable. They're like, like, it's just so heartbreaking. It's so crazy. So I, um, I went to a shelter to volunteer and just bring like goodies and hang out with the dogs. And then, of course, I fell in love with, uh, with Ms. Fable, who was formerly named Bonbon, but now her name's Fable.

• 41:59Speaker 00

  Cute name, too.

• 42:01Speaker 00

  Uh, all right. So as we do with all our guests, we have a, a bowl of questions here that have nothing to do with your life or career. They're just random. Or ours. We don't know what they are. Just random stuff. We're gonna pull a question and, uh, we'd love for you to-

• 42:11Speaker 01

  Just chime in.

• 42:13Speaker 00

  What's your favorite childhood memory? Oh, you had a good one.

• 42:17Speaker 04

  Okay, first, first childhood memory, I'll say, um, the first one that comes to my mind right now is when my sister Hunter, uh, helped me pull out my first tooth when my parents were out of the house. And it was like, very, no. It was just a very sweet sister bonding moment. We were both like, jumping around the house screaming like with excitement after it was done. Like, she was like, I can't believe I did it. I was like, I can't believe I did it. It was so cute.

• 42:47Speaker 00

  I love that.

• 42:48Speaker 01

  It's a great memory.

• 42:49Speaker 00

  What's one thing someone can do that instantly makes you feel loved?

• 42:52Speaker 01

  Pulling out a tooth.

• 42:54Speaker 04

  Yep. Just yank my teeth. I really love that. It's my thing. Um, my husband cooks for me almost every night and that always makes me feel better.

• 43:02Speaker 00

  That's, that's amazing.

• 43:04Speaker 01

  Winner.

• 43:05Speaker 04

  Wow.

• 43:06Speaker 00

  I gotta learn how to cook. I've been saying it for years.

• 43:10Speaker 04

  That's a long one.

• 43:11Speaker 00

  I know. Some of them I can't stop once I hit the button. Um, that's so sweet. What's one of your, what's, what's one of his specialties? What does he cook that you're like, oh, yeah?

• 43:19Speaker 04

  Um, he makes, he makes, my, my favorite is spaghetti meatballs. Does the sauce and the meatballs homemade. It's like my favorite thing.

• 43:27Speaker 00

  Fantastic.

• 43:27Speaker 04

  So he also makes-

• 43:29Speaker 00

  For dinner. So thanks.

• 43:29Speaker 04

  Yeah. He makes 24 hour, like sous vide barbecue pork ribs, which is like another one of my favorite things.

• 43:35Speaker 00

  Yeah, we're coming over.

• 43:36Speaker 04

  Yeah, guys, you should come over. It's really great. It's gonna be a good time. He loves a dinner party, too. He loves cooking for, he likes to like, that's his like biggest way of like, I want to show people I care about them and love them.

• 43:48Speaker 00

  So sweet.

• 43:49Speaker 04

  Break bread with people. And I'm like, oh, cute.

• 43:52Speaker 01

  It's amazing.

• 43:53Speaker 00

  Let's do one more.

• 43:53Speaker 04

  Oh, okay. It's so much fun.

• 43:56Speaker 00

  What's your favorite season and why?

• 43:58Speaker 04

  Winter.

• 43:59Speaker 00

  You know what? Fellow winter person. I like it.

• 44:01Speaker 04

  I'm not, I mean, listen, born and raised in LA, I don't really feel like I have a lot of grounds, ground to stand on here with saying that. I feel like it's annoying to people who have from cold climates, but I just think a winter with like cozy cold, like it's so, like, there's something so romantic about that. Something so like, oh, it's just, it makes me feel like, there's like a nice contrast to life. You get to watch movies, you get to have candles going, you get to be chilly, and then you can enjoy the summer. Right now, I feel like my, my privileged West Coast life, I'm just like annoyed with this.

• 44:36Speaker 00

  It's so beautiful all the time.

• 44:38Speaker 04

  It's genuinely annoying. I'm like-

• 44:40Speaker 00

  You don't get our problems as LA people. It's too hot for us.

• 44:44Speaker 04

  It's way too, like, I just, I really can't, I can't take it. I love, my in-laws live in Chicago and I love going there. Like the winter time.

• 44:53Speaker 00

  A little breeze off the lake.

• 44:54Speaker 04

  Look at all of us playing games on the coffee table. We're so cute. You know what I mean?

• 44:58Speaker 00

  A little wood burning fireplace going.

• 44:59Speaker 01

  There's nothing better than Christmas with a little bit of snow, you know?

• 45:02Speaker 04

  I know. Why Christmas? Like, what can you do? I've, I've only, I've had that twice in my life.

• 45:07Speaker 00

  Have you done a Christmas movie?

• 45:09Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah. Uh, yes. Yes. Yes, kind of. Christmas has happened in movies.

• 45:16Speaker 00

  Okay, Christmas has happened.

• 45:17Speaker 04

  Yeah, Christmas doesn't exist.

  I'm Melissa Jelton, host of the What Happened to Her podcast. We're kicking off the season with the Sandra Birchmore story, a case the police wrote off as a suicide in a snowstorm. Her family never bought it and the man they suspected wore a badge. You never know who that devil is because he's wearing a disguise. Sometimes it's a police uniform.
