• 2:39Speaker 01

  I get to host you two ding-dongs tonight at the house. You're coming over for dinner.

• 2:43Sean Hayes?

  Oh, yeah, that's right.

• 2:44Speaker 01

  I don't think you guys have ever been to my house for dinner.

• 2:48Sean Hayes?

  What are you talking about?

• 2:50Speaker 01

  I don't think you guys have ever been to my house for dinner.

• 2:53Sean Hayes?

  You're totally joking.

• 2:54Will Arnett?

  Of course. Jason, what are you talking about?

• 2:57Speaker 01

  Well, when is the last time? Then tell me when's the last time the two of you have come over to my house for dinner.

• 3:02Sean Hayes?

  Well, I don't keep a record of it, but I've been there about 25,000 times for dinner.

• 3:07Speaker 01

  I don't think so. Not just for dinner, like sitting around the dinner table. It is a plan for you guys to come over for dinner. It's, you know, it's always just sort of casual.

• 3:15Will Arnett?

  Last year, I haven't done it, but we were, everybody's away, but we did movie night one night last year.

• 3:21Speaker 01

  Yeah, but see, it's with a bunch of other people, and it's kind of you're sitting around the kitchen.

• 3:25Will Arnett?

  Oh, no, just sitting down.

• 3:26Sean Hayes?

  Oh, you mean like sitting down?

• 3:27Speaker 01

  Yeah, you don't sit down like adults.

• 3:28Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, that's true. We, I've done it like maybe twice at your place, or once or twice.

• 3:32Speaker 01

  Where was that?

• 3:32Sean Hayes?

  We always like stand in the kitchen.

• 3:34Will Arnett?

  It's always takeout. It's always takeout.

• 3:35Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, we're standing around or just like.

• 3:36Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, well, that's true. I've never.

• 3:39Will Arnett?

  This is not a complaint.

• 3:40Speaker 01

  I don't cook. No, but I don't. Do you? Well, you guys, you guys don't cook.

• 3:44Will Arnett?

  No, I don't.

• 3:44Speaker 01

  You have no idea how to cook, right?

• 3:46Will Arnett?

  No, I don't.

• 3:46Speaker 01

  Sean, can you boil water?

• 3:48Sean Hayes?

  I can. I make sloppy joes. I just had tons of sloppy joes last week.

• 3:51Speaker 01

  You did?

• 3:52Sean Hayes?

  Yeah.

• 3:52Speaker 01

  Oh.

• 3:53Will Arnett?

  And then, and then you just spice it and make it chili? What's the diff? I used to do that at my school.

• 3:58Sean Hayes?

  Really think sloppy joes?

• 3:59Will Arnett?

  They have sloppy joes, and the next day we have chili. I'm like, hey, man, I'm on to you. Okay? I know what's happening.

• 4:05Speaker 01

  Hey, wait, what's tonight? Did you guys talk to Amanda? What are we having tonight?

• 4:09Will Arnett?

  Uh, I don't know. She didn't say.

• 4:11Speaker 01

  She hasn't taken your orders?

• 4:11Will Arnett?

  Sean, do you know?

• 4:12Speaker 01

  No, it'll be your dietary limitations?

• 4:15Will Arnett?

  I have none.

• 4:16Sean Hayes?

  Why don't we have sushi delivered or something easy?

• 4:19Speaker 01

  All right.

• 4:20Will Arnett?

  Well, that's easy.

• 4:22Sean Hayes?

  Or, or, or that pizza.

• 4:23Will Arnett?

  Easily expensive. Yeah, why don't we just have gold bars delivered? Sushi, what kind of life are you living?

• 4:30Sean Hayes?

  No, what about pizza?

• 4:30Will Arnett?

  They have a lot of lobster?

• 4:34Sean Hayes?

  What about pizza?

• 4:35Speaker 01

  No.

• 4:35Will Arnett?

  I told you about the time, JB, I told you about the time I witnessed Sean eating lobster on a private jet, right?

• 4:40Speaker 01

  Oh, no.

• 4:41Sean Hayes?

  It was in the dock. It was in the dock.

• 4:43Will Arnett?

  No, not in the dock. It was a different time when we went tonight.

• 4:46Sean Hayes?

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:46Will Arnett?

  And all of a sudden, and then I, Sean, I got a, I got a lift from these guys, and I get on there, and then all of a sudden the person comes out with the, "You guys ready for lunch?" Yeah, and puts the thing down, and all of a sudden starts serving him lobster.

• 5:01Sean Hayes?

  It was unbelievable. It was, I couldn't believe it.

• 5:05Will Arnett?

  That just turned my morning around.

• 5:06Speaker 01

  All right.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Oh, shit. Okay, good. I was just checking on this restart.

• 5:12Will Arnett?

  Have we got a guest tonight or no?

• 5:14Speaker 01

  Yeah, we have to like, I was panicking if I lost my notes.

• 5:16Will Arnett?

  We are having dinner tonight so we can catch up later.

• 5:19Speaker 01

  All right. Wait, wait, wait. And then, fuck, I think I may have lost my notes on this restart. Hold on.

• 5:25Sean Hayes?

  Oh, my God.

• 5:25Speaker 01

  My intro, I've got my, I've got my intro.

• 5:28Sean Hayes?

  Okay. You intro, and we'll chat, and you look for your notes.

• 5:31Speaker 01

  No, no, here, okay? And then where are my notes? God damn it. This is all Michael Grant Terry's fault. It's gotta be somehow.

• 5:39Will Arnett?

  What did he do?

• 5:40Speaker 01

  Somehow, it's gotta be his.

• 5:41Will Arnett?

  Michael Grant Terry. Can I just talk about?

• 5:43Speaker 01

  Oh, no, there it is. There's the notes.

• 5:44Will Arnett?

  Our guys, Rob, Rob and Bennett and Michael need a, we haven't had him.

• 5:48Sean Hayes?

  Bennett Barbaco. Bennett Barbaco.

• 5:53Will Arnett?

  Michael, Bennett, and Rob grease the wheels on this thing. They make it, they make it happen. They, the trains, keep the trains on time. They do so much stuff. They do so much for us.

• 6:03Speaker 01

  These are the producers.

• 6:05Will Arnett?

  What a bunch of professionals.

• 6:08Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 6:09Will Arnett?

  And I really appreciate. Okay, you're ready.

• 6:11Speaker 01

  All right.

• 6:11Will Arnett?

  I was vamping, but I meant it.

• 6:13Speaker 01

  All right, I mean, I mean it too. I second all that praise.

• 6:16Sean Hayes?

  Third.

• 6:16Speaker 01

  Okay? All right, here we come. Guys, we have with us today a woman who has been a success in this business for over 30 years, and she's still going strong with multiple nominations and awards to her credit. She's been working across film and television since she was a child.

• 6:32Will Arnett?

  Wow.

• 6:32Speaker 01

  Now, balancing acting with producing now, she's running her own production company. No, she's set to have one of her biggest projects ever released this October. It's massive, massive. She has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. She's sung at the Hollywood Bowl, Sean. She's a level six-trained gymnast, Will. You met her on Seventh Heaven. You rooted for her in Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and you're about to ride shotgun with her in the blockbuster Matchbox this fall. Guys, it's Kim and John's girl, Jessica Biel.

• 7:05Speaker 03

  Hi, guys.

• 7:07Speaker 01

  Jessica, thanks for coming on.

• 7:10Speaker 03

  Guys, thank you so much for having me. It's so nice to meet you too. I'm nervous. My heart is pounding. I feel like if I had to take a polygraph test, I would fail.

• 7:17Speaker 01

  Yeah, no, hey, I'm excited to see that movie. I watched that trailer this morning.

• 7:21Sean Hayes?

  Wait, tell me, what is it?

• 7:22Speaker 01

  Matchbox, the movie.

• 7:24Sean Hayes?

  No way.

• 7:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, dude, it's like, remember Fast and Furious? You like that? You're gonna love this.

• 7:30Sean Hayes?

  Oh, wow, that's based on the Hasbro thing?

• 7:32Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, or is it Mattel?

• 7:34Sean Hayes?

  Mattel, sorry, Mattel.

• 7:35Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 7:36Will Arnett?

  Who's the this guy Hasbro?

• 7:40Sean Hayes?

  I used to play that all the time, yeah.

• 7:42Speaker 03

  Me too.

• 7:42Speaker 01

  It looks so great. I love John Cena. The guy kills me.

• 7:46Speaker 03

  So fun, actually. Loved working with him. He's a doll.

• 7:49Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, he's great.

• 7:50Speaker 01

  Now, let me ask you a question. I bet you got a million times in the junket if you've already done that. And if you haven't, you're going to. Are you a fast driver yourself?

• 7:58Speaker 03

  No, I am an old lady defensive driver. Slow. I've got kids in the car. I live on a dirt road. I've got all of it. I've got like a seat lifter that keeps my butt from getting tired and, and, and.

• 8:13Speaker 01

  You sit on a quarter apple?

• 8:14Speaker 03

  Asleep, basically. I'm a very, I'm a slow old lady driver. But then, when we did the movie, I got to learn all this cool performance driving, and now I, now I want a muscle car.

• 8:26Speaker 01

  And you did that?

• 8:27Sean Hayes?

  Did they train you?

• 8:27Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 8:28Speaker 01

  Really?

• 8:29Will Arnett?

  Wow.

• 8:29Speaker 03

  It was so fun.

• 8:30Speaker 01

  Okay, talk to us about that because I've done a little bit of that. That's, that's very, very fun stuff.

• 8:34Speaker 03

  It was so much fun. I mean, that is the best part of our job, right? We're getting to learn these cool, weird skills that you may never get to learn. I got to learn how to, you know, stop a car on its mark, like put the right back wheel on a mark.

• 8:49Speaker 01

  Oh, really?

• 8:50Sean Hayes?

  It's called the sandbag.

• 8:51Speaker 03

  Yeah, yes. And slide it, and then stop it. Do a 180 and stop it. Do a 360 and stop it right on the line.

• 8:59Will Arnett?

  Oh, my God, that's, that's advanced.

• 9:01Speaker 03

  I did it. I don't know if I can do it now. You need the right car. I think that is what I realized is like these performance cars that we were driving, they, they do exactly what you ask them to do.

• 9:12Will Arnett?

  It needs to be real. I bet you'd be able to do it in a GMC of your choice. Well, it's a professional-grade engineer. Good.

• 9:19Sean Hayes?

  Sean, isn't it about like the timing of the brake and the emergency brake or whatever? And like, it's, it's a lot, a lot of coordination, yeah?

• 9:27Speaker 03

  Well, the cars I, I was driving, which is why it would be hard to just do it in a regular car as I was using pedals. So I had, I wasn't, it wasn't an emergency brake. It was a clutch, and it was another, there was another, it was multiple pedals. It was like a car.

• 9:42Speaker 01

  So you were driving stick? Were you driving stick shift car?

• 9:44Speaker 03

  This one was not a stick shift.

• 9:46Speaker 01

  Do you know how to drive a stick shift?

• 9:48Speaker 03

  I do know how to drive a stick shift, yeah.

• 9:49Speaker 01

  Yeah, me too.

• 9:50Speaker 03

  It's fun.

• 9:50Will Arnett?

  It's a lot of start.

• 9:51Speaker 03

  Those are fun. It is.

• 9:52Speaker 01

  They don't make it anymore. They don't make, they don't make stick shift anymore.

• 9:55Will Arnett?

  At all?

• 9:55Speaker 03

  At all?

• 9:56Speaker 01

  I don't think so. I think you'd like, you have to like special order it.

• 9:58Will Arnett?

  They might, like people like Porsche must still make those.

• 10:01Speaker 01

  I believe it is you have to really specify it.

• 10:05Will Arnett?

  But you know, I was gonna say, Sean, you said something, or Jason, you said, maybe Tracy would be interested to know this. Any, oftentimes when you see people in film or TV pulling in the car or whatever, oftentimes what you don't know is that they're rolling into a sandbag, as Jason said. As, as, like to help them.

• 10:23Sean Hayes?

  So it can stay in the frame.

• 10:24Will Arnett?

  So it can stay in the frame so they have it, because they have a hard mark they need to stay to, so the vehicle.

• 10:28Speaker 01

  It's like a 25-pound sandbag that's kind of like flayed open like, like a butterfly that they drop on the ground. It's usually meant to wait down like a stand that holds lights and stuff like that. And they'll put it down, and, and, and when the, when the, when the wheel rolls up on it, it hits it. And then there's an art to actually hitting it so it doesn't look like it's lurching the car to a stop, like it's hitting a rock or something. It's, it's a whole thing. It's, it's another actor cheat. We've, we've got tons of those. But wait, so you went to driver performance like school, like Willow Springs or something like that?

• 11:00Speaker 03

  We were in, well, we were in Budapest, so we, we just was, the team was there, and we were, we literally were, we were training in this parking lot.

• 11:08Speaker 01

  Oh, my God.

• 11:09Speaker 03

  Just me and a couple of these incredible.

• 11:11Will Arnett?

  They were like, oh, so Budapest, okay, go on the street. Don't worry. We don't need to go. No, no, just go downtown. Don't worry.

• 11:18Speaker 01

  Don't worry about the children.

• 11:19Will Arnett?

  No, he's no problem. He's no.

• 11:20Speaker 03

  That's, that's about right.

• 11:24Speaker 01

  So wait, so the whole thing was, now, there was Budapest, there wasn't there Morocco too? There was a bunch of different spots.

• 11:29Speaker 03

  Budapest, Morocco, Morocco, Slovakia.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  Oh my god.

• 11:34Speaker 03

  Yeah, those were our main locations, if I remember.

• 11:35Sean Hayes?

  Did you have to, did you have to go, like, I've always wanted to do this, like, get a, guys for my birthday, get me like a racing track, like, gift certificate?

• 11:44Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 11:44Sean Hayes?

  Like, will you race cars around a track? Did you have to do that?

• 11:46Speaker 03

  I did. My character is sort of a, she's a race car driver on the side, which is cool.

• 11:52Sean Hayes?

  Uh huh.

• 11:53Speaker 03

  And I did, we did it, we did a track, we did some, some rounds around a real track.

• 11:58Sean Hayes?

  And like, what'd you get up to?

• 11:59Speaker 03

  Nothing crazy. I mean, I think we were around, you know, 80 or something, kind of normal freeway, because it looked so much faster when, when the cameras are rolling.

• 12:09Speaker 01

  Yeah, right.

• 12:09Speaker 03

  And also, the weird part was sometimes I was in a car where I wasn't even driving, and someone else is driving, and that was so much harder. We had people on the roof, we had people in the back.

• 12:21Speaker 01

  Oh yeah.

• 12:22Speaker 03

  But it was so strange.

• 12:23Sean Hayes?

  You had to act like you're driving it.

• 12:24Speaker 03

  Yes, but when I wasn't driving, it made me sick, you know, because I'm, you were so much more in control. When you're driving, you're in control, you know when the turn's coming, you know what you're gonna do. When you're not driving, it's the strangest thing.

• 12:36Will Arnett?

  It's the weird, I, I did, I did, a couple of times I did the, one of those big NASCAR tracks, and I did it with Jeff Gordon, and he took me around in Atlanta. And first of all, the bank, those curves are like, it's almost like straight down, it's almost like a full.

• 12:51Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 12:52Will Arnett?

  And so doing that, and you're not driving, I hated it, I felt, and I'm not a nervous driver, or nervous about speed and stuff, but I was, and I also did it in a Formula One track in, outside of Austin there, at the, in, I, I was so, I, I got giddy almost because I was so nervous, he was going so fast and passing people, and you're not in control.

• 13:12Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:12Will Arnett?

  It makes you feel, like, you feel like, this is it.

• 13:15Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 13:16Will Arnett?

  It's all over.

• 13:17Sean Hayes?

  When you weren't in control though, Jessica, was it a rush? Like, did you, did you understand why people do it? Did you get the adrenaline?

• 13:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, yes.

• 13:24Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, for sure.

• 13:25Speaker 03

  I, I think I started to really get into the speed. I, I think I'm just so used to having to be a responsible driver on the road, and responsible for people's lives, you know, little, little lives. And it was so cool to get behind the wheel and know that everybody knew to get out of my way, and that I was gonna be safe, and I could go as fast, and that was exhilarating. So yes, that adrenaline, I'm kind of an adrenaline junkie in most ways, except usually in a car on the road, because it's so serious, and so scary sometimes.

• 13:57Speaker 01

  So it's like, so, so it's all, so it's family car all the time for you? You don't have like your own little, personal little sports car you like to zip around Mulholland on?

• 14:04Speaker 03

  I don't, I don't, no.

• 14:06Speaker 01

  So we're talking full mini, full minivan?

• 14:09Speaker 03

  It's an Escalade.

• 14:10Will Arnett?

  Yeah, nice.

• 14:10Speaker 03

  So it's, it's, it's a, you know, it's a, it's like a cool mommy car, it's a.

• 14:16Will Arnett?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 14:17Speaker 03

  It's a cool car, but I would love like a little Porsche, or, you know, I really like, I really like those, those new kind of Bronco 2s, it's not, it's not a sports car, but it feels like a faster, sexy, or cute, like with the top that comes off.

• 14:31Sean Hayes?

  Will, talk to us about the Bronco 2.

• 14:33Will Arnett?

  No, I will not, I will not.

• 14:34Sean Hayes?

  Tell us how much of the Bronco 2, Willie.

• 14:36Will Arnett?

  No, no, no, no, no. Friends, friends don't let friends drive Fords.

• 14:40Sean Hayes?

  There we go.

• 14:42Speaker 03

  The Bronco was my first car ever, so I have like, it's a, just has a, it has a little place in my heart.

• 14:47Will Arnett?

  Jessica, I know you like the Escalade, but I'll tell you something, I'd love to get you into a Yukon XL Denali.

• 14:52Speaker 03

  Great, send it my way.

• 14:54Speaker 01

  So Jessica.

• 14:55Will Arnett?

  I got a turbo Max diesel, go ahead, Jessica, I'm sorry, I'm here.

• 14:58Speaker 01

  Jessica, this whole love affair with America and the world in general, it started in Boulder, right?

• 15:06Sean Hayes?

  Oh, it did?

• 15:07Speaker 01

  With your outdoorsy unconventional parents, huh?

• 15:10Will Arnett?

  God, that's so, it's so judgmental.

• 15:13Speaker 03

  That's so creepy.

• 15:14Will Arnett?

  The way you're saying that is so creepy and judgmental.

• 15:16Speaker 03

  I know, I was like, what is he gonna say?

• 15:18Speaker 01

  Oh, were they, were they carefree, Jessica, there's a house. Him and John, they just, you're out there, playing grab ass in the woods.

• 15:27Will Arnett?

  Did you love the air?

• 15:28Speaker 01

  Yeah, well, how did, how did performing come into your brain out there? Were you guys, were you guys doing like little shows for one another, little kids running around there in front of hippy dippy mom and dad?

• 15:39Speaker 03

  God, that sounds gross.

• 15:40Speaker 01

  It's all on Wikipedia, you guys.

• 15:42Will Arnett?

  You're so offensive, the way you said all of it, it's so creepy.

• 15:45Speaker 03

  It's so creepy. And did you say grab ass in the woods? Because yes.

• 15:48Speaker 01

  Grab ass in the woods?

• 15:50Speaker 03

  That's what was happening. I don't know, you guys, all I can remember is I was one of that, and I just wasn't that annoying little kid that was like, mom, watch this, turn the video camera on, mom. And she's like, okay, great, okay, we're done. No, no, no, I have more, watch again. You know, it was just constant, like, I was just constantly performing, doing dumb things that were not cool, that she was pretending were cool, they were pretending were cool. I don't know where it came from, it was just always within me.

• 16:20Speaker 01

  Was it, like, did you watch a ton of TV?

• 16:23Speaker 03

  No, no, we didn't really watch a ton of TV.

• 16:26Will Arnett?

  No, they were playing grab ass in the forest.

• 16:28Speaker 03

  We were grab assing in the woods.

• 16:30Speaker 01

  All right, well then.

• 16:31Speaker 03

  I don't know what it was.

• 16:33Sean Hayes?

  I used to imitate Nadia Comaneci, remember that gymnast Nadia Comaneci?

• 16:36Will Arnett?

  Sure did, '76 Montreal.

• 16:38Sean Hayes?

  I would be like, I would do it over and over, like, watch this, and I would imitate the, like, heavy breathing after.

• 16:44Speaker 01

  You'd really land your.

• 16:45Sean Hayes?

  And this dance, right?

• 16:46Will Arnett?

  Oh, sorry, you, you were imitating the after, not the actual gymnast.

• 16:52Speaker 03

  The end pose, which is important too.

• 16:53Sean Hayes?

  Yeah.

• 16:54Speaker 01

  You gotta snap it, yeah. Now, well, that, that brings us to your, to your, you were training as a gymnast as well, right? At about the same time?

• 17:02Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 17:02Will Arnett?

  I wanna see you do that, Sean, so bad.

• 17:04Speaker 03

  I wanna see that too.

• 17:05Sean Hayes?

  You can see it on Will and Grace, he does a lot of that. Do a roundoff and then the breathing. And then where were you in order of siblings?

• 17:12Speaker 03

  I'm the oldest, and I have one younger brother.

• 17:14Sean Hayes?

  Okay.

• 17:15Speaker 01

  Now, where was, where was gymnastics, was it, was a serious thing for a second? You were training for that.

• 17:20Speaker 03

  It was a serious thing in Boulder. I was playing soccer, I was doing gymnastics, and I was also.

• 17:26Will Arnett?

  Football.

• 17:27Speaker 03

  Football, I was playing football. And I was, you know, I was randomly getting involved with an agency, like a, like a talent agency in Denver, and, and literally doing commercial acting classes in the summer, and that kind of thing, because I was interested in that stuff. And then I started to get tall, and gymnastics started to kind of, you know, not, not really be my sport, and I had to focus on other things, and I was.

• 17:55Will Arnett?

  Were you getting commercials?

• 17:57Speaker 03

  Not at that time, I was just learning how to talk about products like you, Will, because you're really good at that.

• 18:02Will Arnett?

  Oh, thank you.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  You're so good at product talking.

• 18:04Speaker 01

  What's your favorite car, Will?

• 18:06Will Arnett?

  Well, we've already mentioned it, but you know, the Sierra comes in, and the Sierra EV is tremendous.

• 18:11Speaker 01

  So then, when did, when, when did you, when did you discover, okay, I gotta, I gotta get to Los Angeles? I gotta, I gotta get out there to the Oakwoods, get myself a nice studio apartment, and start knocking on.

• 18:20Speaker 03

  That was my life, Jason, I, that was my place, I was there.

• 18:25Speaker 01

  Yeah, of course.

• 18:25Speaker 03

  I was there at those Oakwood apartments, in that studio apartment with my mom.

• 18:29Speaker 01

  What age were you?

• 18:30Speaker 03

  Going to pilot season, I was 11, 12, and 13, did it three years in a row.

• 18:34Speaker 01

  Wow.

• 18:35Speaker 03

  You know what, really, okay, now I'm remembering, sometimes I have these weird blackout moments where I forget about my life. Do you guys ever have that? Is it the weed? Okay, figured it was the weed.

• 18:43Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, a lot of that's a weed.

• 18:44Speaker 03

  I mean, I'm from Boulder, so, you guys get it.

• 18:46Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, right, those goddamn parents of yours.

• 18:49Will Arnett?

  Yeah, you got a head full of rope, go ahead.

• 18:52Speaker 03

  Correct. It was music, weirdly. I wa, I was interested, I was like a theater kid. I wanted to, I auditioned for Annie when I lived in Connecticut, we took the train to New York, I wanted to be Annie, that was my dream, so it was all really.

• 19:05Sean Hayes?

  Easy, Sean.

• 19:05Speaker 03

  Music stuff, and then, yeah, and then it kind of switched into acting somehow, I don't know.

• 19:13Speaker 01

  So then you're out there for 11, 11, 12, 13, pilot season, did we book a pilot?

• 19:22Speaker 01

  Ignore them. Did you book a pilot?

• 19:26Speaker 03

  Wow, Will's, Will's register. I did Seventh Heaven finally when I was 14, I just turned 14, and I booked Seventh Heaven.

• 19:34Will Arnett?

  That was your first, that, that was your first gig?

• 19:36Speaker 03

  That was kind of the first real gig, that was the first pilot, and then Yule's Gold with Peter Fonda, like, booked at the same time, which was the little, like, indie movie.

• 19:44Sean Hayes?

  I remember that.

• 19:44Will Arnett?

  Oh my god, yeah, that was a great movie.

• 19:48Speaker 01

  And we will be right back.

• 19:52Speaker 01

• 23:28Speaker 01

  And now, back to the show.

• 23:32Speaker 01

  So now, were you old enough, savvy enough to like, think about, okay, well, I've got this television career potentially starting here, I've got maybe this movie career starting here, how can I balance both? Which one do I want? Was there any sort of that type of thinking or no? Were you just like, great, work, work, work, great, I'm not in school?

• 23:48Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think it was, oh my God, the dream is coming true. I'm working, I'm not in school, I'm living, it's happening. And I didn't think much about it. It just, you know, showed up on set and just started doing my job every day.

• 24:02Speaker 01

  Right, and it was, and it was smooth, but you had, you had to stay there. Now, now you're not living in Boulder anymore, you're not seeing your friends anymore. Moms have her dad or both are having to relocate.

• 24:11Speaker 03

  Right.

• 24:12Speaker 01

  Was all of that kind of like fun, weird, uncomfortable, or did you, would you even pay attention?

• 24:18Speaker 03

  I remembered it being, or I remember it being fun for me. I think it was a nightmare for my brother. I think my brother was like, what is happening to my family? My mom and I were here, my dad and my brother in Colorado, then they eventually joined us in LA, and we lived in Calabasas for a while after getting out of the Oakwood apartments after a while, and then...

• 24:39Speaker 01

  Now, what about brother? Was he thinking about or tempted or encouraged to act as well?

• 24:44Speaker 03

  Never his interest. He was an incredible...

• 24:47Will Arnett?

  Discouraged. He was discouraged.

• 24:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, none for you. No, he was a crazy talented soccer player. So he was just very normal lives, going to school, playing soccer.

• 24:59Speaker 01

  Tell you, out there in the West Valley, there's a lot of soccer. I played years of it out there in Woodland Hills.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Same, I did too.

• 25:04Speaker 01

  That's a lot, that's a lot.

• 25:05Speaker 03

  Good, good level of players out there, really. California players are just seriously good.

• 25:10Will Arnett?

  Is that right?

• 25:11Speaker 01

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, baseball and soccer.

• 25:13Will Arnett?

  Wait, wait, wait, Jessica, how many seasons of Seventh Heaven did you do?

• 25:18Speaker 03

  I, I did four full seasons, and so I did basically my entire high school career on the show, and then went to college for a little bit, and then, once that happened, I kind of came back and forth a little bit and did some, some little storylines that lasted three or four episodes, but never really came back for a full season after that.

• 25:41Will Arnett?

  Right, but they were like, just come back and do this, and please just come back and do this. But did you find that you, doing that, so how, sorry, you were 14 when you started doing Seventh Heaven, is that right?

• 25:48Speaker 03

  Yes.

• 25:49Will Arnett?

  So what a great, and what a great way to learn, to go and do the sort of the discipline of doing a TV series day in and day out for those four, in those formative years, must have taught you a lot.

• 26:01Speaker 03

  Everything.

• 26:02Will Arnett?

  About, right?

• 26:03Speaker 03

  Oh my God, well, I, I went to film school there. That was like film and TV intensive program. I had the most incredible cast and crew. It was such a supportive, cool environment, just a bunch of kids, like all the, all the wonderful actors playing my siblings and the parents, and I learned, I mean, the stuff I remember so vividly is our amazing camera operator who taught me how to stand up and sit down on a chair, you know, because I would go like, I was all over the place. It's like, you gotta stand up, and then you gotta slowly sit back down, and you gotta make it smooth, you come back up and find your light. And I was like, what the fuck does that mean?

• 26:42Speaker 03

  You know, I learned to find the light, stand up, sit down, get emotional in front of strangers, be, do crazy things in front of people I didn't know. I mean, get comfortable doing all of those things.

• 26:55Speaker 01

  And for Tracy, there's, there's a phrase for this, they call it, they call it, I need you to Groucho a little bit when you stand up there. And with that, that's the Groucho Marx, you know, when you see Groucho Marx, you kind of like, when he walks and he's got the little cigar, and he's kind of like hunched over a little bit. That's their phrase for like, when you come up, don't shoot straight up because they can't keep you in the frame.

• 27:12Speaker 03

  Right.

• 27:13Speaker 01

  You come up fast, they want you to kind of like ease up a little bit like Groucho walks.

• 27:16Speaker 03

  I learned a lot.

• 27:17Will Arnett?

  Jason, what an impression of, I didn't know that you... Oh, look at, there he is.

• 27:22Speaker 01

  Yeah, thanks, man, thank you, thank you.

• 27:24Will Arnett?

  But JB, you had the same experience, right? Like, as a kid, you learned, you kind of learned, you learned to fly in flight.

• 27:29Speaker 01

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, you learn a lot, but what you don't learn is how to be a kid. You don't learn about like yourself because you're not in school a lot and all that stuff. How was that?

• 27:37Speaker 03

  That's true. By the way, every time you say JB, I think you're talking to me.

• 27:41Will Arnett?

  Hey, Jason, get off the cross, we could use the wood, okay?

• 27:44Speaker 01

  Yeah, JB, JB and JB. Yeah, so Jessica, how was that? How was, how, were you managing, did you manage to maintain a semi-normal upbringing? Were you, were you going into a normal school during the hiatuses? Were you going back to Boulder, or would you stay working with a tutor?

• 28:01Speaker 03

  No, I was, I had, I did have a school in LA that I was working on a program through. It was like one of those weird school for, for like bad kids, you know, or weird, weird kids, and I was like one of the weird kids who never showed up.

• 28:15Will Arnett?

  Wasn't on a bus, was it, by any chance? I'm just shot in the dark here, but...

• 28:18Speaker 03

  Thank God, no.

• 28:21Speaker 01

  I know, Jason went to school on the bus.

• 28:23Will Arnett?

  We didn't have room for it.

• 28:24Speaker 03

  Oh, man, so I, I just, I, I never really showed up back into real school, but I was playing soccer, and my team was everything. I missed every practice, you probably did the same, and I only showed up at the games. So I was like sort of good and also really bad at the same time because I never practiced.

• 28:44Speaker 01

  What position were you on your soccer team?

• 28:45Speaker 03

  I was a right midfielder. But what about you?

• 28:48Speaker 01

  Uh, left half, yes, left, left inside forward.

• 28:52Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 28:53Speaker 01

  I had a left foot, so they really took care of me there.

• 28:56Speaker 03

  That's right, as they should have. But I was also that weird kid that like, I would, I was super fast, so I could run with the ball really well, and then I would miss, I would miss the goal every time. Like, it was the most...

• 29:05Will Arnett?

  Not much of a shooter. You couldn't, no finish to your game.

• 29:07Speaker 03

  Nobody wanted to give me the ball. They were like, oh, God, there she goes again. And I was, I just, you know, but I was like really positive.

• 29:14Speaker 01

  Totally know the feeling.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  Believed in myself.

• 29:16Will Arnett?

  If you can provide good, if you can provide good service, that's okay, you know, then they, they probably bring in a quality finisher with you, and then all of a sudden, you know that.

• 29:23Speaker 01

  Yeah. All right, so, so we're wrapping up Seventh Heaven. We're now, we're, we're kind of a big star, and then we get into Rules of Attraction, perhaps, yes? Brett Easton Ellis novel, that's, that's a little not-quite-so Seventh Heaven.

• 29:39Speaker 03

  Right.

• 29:40Speaker 01

  Were we thinking about, was there a strategy now starting to come in a little bit? And we're, we're approaching Texas Chainsaw Massacre, we're approaching Blade, we're approaching Stealth, we're starting, we're...

• 29:53Speaker 03

  Oh my God, this is like full slate.

• 29:57Speaker 01

  I want you to lay down on the banket, okay? We're gonna go deep here.

• 30:01Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 30:02Will Arnett?

  Take us on this journey, take us on this journey.

• 30:03Speaker 01

  But like, things are, you're transitioning into being an adult, and we're no longer like a teen star, and, and it's exciting, and it's nerve-wracking, I'm assuming. We're making a career of this, yes?

• 30:15Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, when did it switch for you to be like, oh, you know what, I'm in a business? You know, when did that occur to you?

• 30:21Speaker 03

  I don't know, I don't remember. Probably...

• 30:24Speaker 01

  When you had to start paying rent.

• 30:25Speaker 03

  Probably, yeah, when I, when I came back to LA, I never finished college, which is a huge regret.

• 30:33Speaker 01

  Try not finishing high school.

• 30:35Speaker 03

  Sorry for you, that's, that's rough.

• 30:37Speaker 01

  That's okay.

• 30:38Speaker 03

  It's really, really rough, it's okay.

• 30:39Speaker 01

  Still working on it.

• 30:40Speaker 03

  You got this, you can do anything, you can do anything.

• 30:42Will Arnett?

  Well, in fairness, the bus, gas prices have gone high, and...

• 30:46Sean Hayes?

  We could not fix the left rear tire.

• 30:49Will Arnett?

  They couldn't complete the loop.

• 30:53Sean Hayes?

  The loop.

• 30:55Speaker 01

  All right, so you're getting into adulthood. You've now, you've moved out of Colorado completely. You're now living on your own in Los Angeles.

• 31:03Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 31:04Speaker 01

  And we're starting to knock down some movies. How are we feeling about living in Los Angeles by ourselves? Mom's gone back home, brother's back home.

• 31:13Speaker 03

  Yep, everybody's back home. I'm in LA by myself.

• 31:16Speaker 01

  How do we like living in LA by yourself?

• 31:18Speaker 03

  I mean, it was good. I think it was, I think it had a, you know, nervy at some times and feeling kind of...

• 31:27Speaker 01

  Got a good circle of friends?

• 31:28Speaker 03

  Yeah, had a good circle of friends.

• 31:30Will Arnett?

  But, so, but you're coming off the show and you're gonna start doing some movies as Jason started listing them. And there is that moment of like, hey, is this gonna, am I gonna, am I gonna sink? Or am I gonna, or am I gonna make it here? Do you, do you remember the moment you, a certain job, that you weren't like, okay, this thing is gonna, we got some legs here? To kind of make that transition into films?

• 31:52Speaker 03

  Well, if you guys will remember, that was a time where you really were only on television or you were only in film.

• 31:59Will Arnett?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 31:59Speaker 03

  I think, I think I started to feel like, oh, this is a business and I'm gonna have to work hard to make that transition. Because everybody knows me as this very kind of proper, sort of good kid on this show. And now I have to cross over into another part of this industry.

• 32:21Speaker 01

  And show that that was just a character.

• 32:23Speaker 03

  Yeah, I would say, I would say Texas Chainsaw was probably one of those, one of the moments where I thought, okay, this is a really good move for me. This is really opposite, really different, same with Rules of Attraction, very opposite. So I was getting a little bit more calculated and honestly, I think I was just interested in doing something totally different than what I had been doing up to that point. So, yeah.

• 32:48Speaker 01

  And was it, were these ideas coming from you or was it agents? Like, I guess I'm pressing on all this stuff because it's like, it's so weird for a kid actor. You start thinking about these strategies. It's like, well, wait, but I'm just like playing different people and pretending, this is all pretend for me. Just going back to like what you used to like do in front of your mom and stuff like that. But then you start to think about, well, God, I gotta make a career of this. And what are, what are the keys to longevity? I mean, I'm just like thinking back then, if somebody told you, you're gonna be, you know, you're gonna be 30 years into your career and things are gonna be better than ever 30 years from now, you know, like, would you have gone like, oh shit, that is great? Like, did you think that that was, that that was something that's easily...

• 33:26Speaker 03

  Are they better than ever? I still feel, I don't know. I know you guys are like really famous and have it all together. But I still, I am still fighting my way back into the film industry.

• 33:40Speaker 01

  We all are.

• 33:40Speaker 03

  Oh my God, it never, ever, ever ends, you guys.

• 33:43Speaker 01

  It never stops.

• 33:45Will Arnett?

  But that's healthy.

• 33:46Speaker 03

  Is it?

• 33:47Will Arnett?

  Yes, 100%.

• 33:50Sean Hayes?

  If it was easy, it would be, it would be bad.

• 33:52Speaker 01

  There really is no security on anything.

• 33:55Speaker 03

  Could it be just slightly easier?

• 33:58Sean Hayes?

  Let me make some calls.

• 33:59Speaker 03

  Would you want to...

• 34:00Speaker 01

  Then it would be boring. All right, let's talk to, before, before we jump to today, we're still on the journey. We're still carving out great jobs. What about this, tell me about...

• 34:11Speaker 03

  Is this not boring? This journey is so boring.

• 34:13Speaker 01

  No, no, it's exciting. I wanna know, Sean wants to know if there was any dirt on the set of that Super Bowl cast of Julia Roberts, Anne Hathaway, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Kathy Bates, Shirley MacLaine, Ashton Kutcher, all the, on Valentine's Day. I mean, there must have been some kind of like...

• 34:32Sean Hayes?

  That was a big movie.

• 34:32Speaker 01

  Nonsense or, or...

• 34:35Sean Hayes?

  Our pranks. Anybody play any pranks?

• 34:37Speaker 03

  God, I can't, I'm telling you, I can't remember anything. It was just fun and...

• 34:42Speaker 01

  I just love those movies.

• 34:43Speaker 03

  You know, we, nobody worked together. We only worked with like one other, all these stories were so separate. So I only worked with my people... Yeah, and then you're off and you're gone.

• 34:55Speaker 01

  I know.

• 34:56Speaker 03

  So, and it was so long ago, I, I don't even, all I remember is eating so much chocolate and running on a treadmill and then getting off the, off, out of that scene and just puking all the chocolate. I mean, it just was chowing during this one scene and just threw it up everywhere. It was, that's what I remember.

• 35:17Sean Hayes?

  And what do you do when you have long shoots like that? How do you, how do you organize kid time and who stays where? And how do they come with sometimes and all of that?

• 35:26Speaker 01

  Well, she didn't have kids then, did you have kids then?

• 35:27Speaker 03

  No, no, I didn't have it then.

• 35:30Speaker 01

  Oh, oh, oh.

• 35:30Speaker 03

  Didn't have kids then.

• 35:32Speaker 01

  Don't jump ahead, Sean.

• 35:34Sean Hayes?

  Sorry, sorry.

• 35:34Speaker 01

  So then, so then...

• 35:36Speaker 03

  I'm ready to jump, this story is...

• 35:37Speaker 01

  Now, at this point, at this point, do we run into the woman with the greatest name in the world, Michelle Purple? And do we start Iron Ocean? Do we, do we start your production company?

• 35:46Speaker 03

  Michelle Purple started back, get over here immediately. Just get over here and say hello.

• 35:51Speaker 01

  Come on, Purple.

• 35:51Speaker 03

  You have to come over, no, but this guy's here.

• 35:54Speaker 01

  Oh, this, Mr. Justin Timberlake. Michelle, you look just like Justin Timberlake.

• 35:58Speaker 04

  Say whatever you want, I can't even...

• 36:01Speaker 04

  Hi.

• 36:01Sean Hayes?

  Hi, Mr. Timberlake, how are you?

• 36:03Speaker 01

  Michelle, you look just like Justin Timberlake.

• 36:07Speaker 04

  Yeah.

• 36:08Speaker 01

  We were talking about Michelle Purple.

• 36:09Speaker 04

  Oh, yeah.

• 36:10Speaker 01

  Hi, buddy, welcome to Smartless.

• 36:12Will Arnett?

  Yeah.

• 36:12Speaker 04

  Hi, how you guys doing?

• 36:13Sean Hayes?

  Hey, Justin, do you remember when I was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and I came into your trailer and you rode on my stomach?

• 36:19Will Arnett?

  He sure doesn't, he sure doesn't.

• 36:21Speaker 04

  Good to see you guys.

• 36:25Speaker 04

  Good to see you guys. I was just here to see if you wanted something to eat.

• 36:30Speaker 03

  No, thank you, baby, I'm good.

• 36:31Speaker 01

  She needs some tech support.

• 36:33Speaker 04

  Yeah, tech support. Do you want some food?

• 36:35Speaker 03

  Right now?

• 36:36Speaker 04

  No, just, are you...

• 36:37Speaker 03

  No, I'm okay.

• 36:38Speaker 04

  Okay, bye.

• 36:39Will Arnett?

  He's literally trying to see if she's safe. He's like, are you safe or do you want, do you want me to get you out of this?

• 36:43Speaker 04

  I, I think I'm gonna sit down with you guys soon.

• 36:46Speaker 01

  Yeah, get in, oh, good.

• 36:48Speaker 03

  See, now they're really excited. They're so excited, more excited than us.

• 36:51Speaker 04

  Like, so whatever.

• 36:52Speaker 03

  Just take over.

• 36:53Speaker 04

  No, no, whatever shit you say about me, I'll get to retort.

• 36:56Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 36:56Speaker 04

  Yeah, yeah, okay. Good to see you guys, bye.

• 36:58Speaker 01

  You too, pal.

• 37:00Speaker 04

  Sean, I can't wait to rub your belly again. Okay.

• 37:02Sean Hayes?

  Okay, thank you.

• 37:04Will Arnett?

  He does remember.

• 37:05Speaker 01

  Wait, was it a rub or a write? He wrote on your belly?

• 37:07Sean Hayes?

  He wrote on my shirt.

• 37:09Speaker 01

  What did he write, what did he write on your shirt?

• 37:10Sean Hayes?

  I don't remember.

• 37:11Speaker 01

  An autograph?

• 37:12Sean Hayes?

  No, but I framed it and I gave it to my niece.

• 37:14Speaker 03

  Do you, do you guys want me to ask him to just come back and like I can slide out?

• 37:18Speaker 01

  No, you're kidding me? He just told us...

• 37:21Sean Hayes?

  Wait, by the way.

• 37:22Speaker 01

  He just told us that he's coming on the show, which I guess means that that's a secret revealed.

• 37:27Sean Hayes?

  It is a secret revealed.

• 37:28Will Arnett?

  We're all doing visitors now.

• 37:30Speaker 01

  We have another visitor.

• 37:32Will Arnett?

  You can't hear them, but just say hi.

• 37:35Speaker 01

  Listener, that's Willie's youngest Denny.

• 37:38Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, what a sweetheart. Wait, Jess, he said, look at us.

• 37:41Speaker 03

  No, yes, yes, yes.

• 37:43Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, okay.

• 37:45Speaker 01

  Yeah, he just revealed that he's coming on the show. He said, anything you say shitty about him, he can retort in his episode.

• 37:50Sean Hayes?

  Gimme, give us a shitty story that happened this morning or what's the, or last night.

• 37:56Will Arnett?

  Something, something that we can hold his feet to the fire on.

• 37:58Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, about food or watching movies?

• 38:00Will Arnett?

  Anything, anything.

• 38:01Sean Hayes?

  Does he grab the remote? Like, does he ever let you take, take charge of the movie?

• 38:05Speaker 03

  I've got a good one, I've got a good one for you, which happened this morning. So we have in our, we have this little cute fitness space in our house.

• 38:13Speaker 01

  Sure.

• 38:14Speaker 03

  And we have these cool accordion, you know, these accordion windows that kind of fold into themselves?

• 38:19Speaker 01

  Yeah, like on a honey wagon.

• 38:21Speaker 03

  Yes. Oh, a honey wagon. That just brought me back. A honey wagon? Do we need to explain that to Tracy? I'm not sure, is that, she knows.

• 38:30Speaker 01

  Tracy, there, there are these trailers that it serves dressing rooms.

• 38:34Will Arnett?

  I was thinking of something else. Okay, go ahead.

• 38:37Speaker 03

  Yep, that too.

• 38:38Speaker 01

  They're small, small dressing rooms.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  Anyway, okay, so the accordion windows slide open and then you have this pretty view and you can work out with the windows wide open, cool. I, I put the alarm on last night, went to bed, woke up and started, you know, pulling shades up and the shades in the gym kind of went, kind of looked like they were getting sucked into the corner of the window and started to go up and had a big crinkle in them. And so, and I was looking and I quickly brought him back down and walked over. Accordion windows had been left open all night long.

• 39:11Sean Hayes?

  Oh, boy. Uh-oh, that's not good.

• 39:15Will Arnett?

  First of all, that alarm needs to be updated.

• 39:17Speaker 03

  That was my first thing was, who did not connect these ginormous scary windows to the alarm system? Which let me turn it on.

• 39:25Sean Hayes?

  And don't you live, you don't live, you don't live in Los Angeles?

• 39:28Speaker 03

  I don't, we live in Montana and that's the other thing, we have humongous animals here.

• 39:32Speaker 01

  Oh my God.

• 39:33Speaker 03

  And if they, they come in for garbage. So we could have woken up to a bear in there.

• 39:38Sean Hayes?

  My dream.

• 39:39Speaker 03

  Or a couple of elk or a moose.

• 39:42Will Arnett?

  Again, something else, Sean's thinking of something else.

• 39:44Speaker 01

  Sean wakes up to a bear every morning, thanks, Scotty.

• 39:48Speaker 03

  So there you go.

• 39:49Sean Hayes?

  Wow, that's interesting.

• 39:50Speaker 03

  You can give him some shit for that.

• 39:51Sean Hayes?

  What about, you know, Scotty and I just, we always have this thing with the TV too, where like every night when we watch something, I'll be, can you turn it up? Can you turn it down? God, I'm like, well, if you're going to, if you're going to man the remote control, then you have to deal with me saying...

• 40:08Will Arnett?

  Yeah, you have to be willing to take...

• 40:09Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, you have to take direction.

• 40:10Speaker 01

  Who gets the remote? You, you or Scotty?

• 40:12Will Arnett?

  Scotty.

• 40:13Sean Hayes?

  Scotty all the time.

• 40:14Will Arnett?

  Of course.

• 40:14Sean Hayes?

  I don't even know how to turn, I don't even know how to...

• 40:15Will Arnett?

  He's Johnny Tech, although I will say his phone went off the other day at a service and I was like, hey, Johnny Tech has his phone.

• 40:20Sean Hayes?

  Well, that was for his diabetes, thanks. So Jessica...

• 40:26Speaker 01

  Our alert, alert.

• 40:28Sean Hayes?

  It was, really.

• 40:28Speaker 01

  Have a donut, have a donut.

• 40:31Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, it really was because of his diabetes.

• 40:34Will Arnett?

  Grab the donut.

• 40:35Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, and then I'd just grab it instead.

• 40:41Sean Hayes?

  We'll be right back.

• 40:45Speaker 01

  There's something pretty great about waking up and making a really good espresso or cappuccino at home. No coffee shop run required. And this time of year, it's even better.

  And now, back to the show.

• 43:59Sean Hayes?

  So wait, oh, by the way, you know what else they saw because I'm on TikTok a lot?

• 44:03Speaker 01

  Sure. Hold on one sec, Jessica. Go ahead, Sean.

• 44:05Sean Hayes?

  I wanted to say.

• 44:08Sean Hayes?

  I wanted to say how funny it was because there was a TikTok trend a while ago and I saw your hilarious response to, um, what was it? Moms used to startle their kids by saying Jessica or something like that?

• 44:19Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 44:19Speaker 01

  Huh?

• 44:20Will Arnett?

  Oh, yeah.

• 44:20Sean Hayes?

  What was that? Right?

• 44:21Speaker 03

  Yes, that really happened. That was like a thing for a minute.

• 44:25Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, where, where?

• 44:26Speaker 01

  Tell me, I don't know.

• 44:27Will Arnett?

  Oh, it's so funny.

• 44:28Sean Hayes?

  Well, Jess, you tell it.

• 44:29Speaker 03

  Well, it was just if the kid's having a meltdown, they would go, Jessica? Jessica? And the kid would literally go.

• 44:37Sean Hayes?

  And stop crying.

• 44:38Speaker 03

  And stop crying and like look around in panic. And I literally was like, guys, Jessica's are nice people. You're making them scared. You're making your kids scared of us. We are not trying to, you know, creep you out or freak you out. And it definitely doesn't work for my kids. My kids are like, she's going crazy finally. She's just saying her own name over and over and over again.

• 44:59Sean Hayes?

  It does not work on your kids. How old are they?

• 45:01Speaker 03

  Uh, 11 and 6.

• 45:04Sean Hayes?

  Ooh, fun ages.

• 45:06Will Arnett?

  I got a 6.

• 45:07Speaker 03

  Was he 6?

• 45:08Will Arnett?

  You just met my 6-year-old. He's 6, yeah.

• 45:10Sean Hayes?

  So sweet.

• 45:10Will Arnett?

  That's a great age, isn't it?

• 45:11Speaker 03

  Sweet age. It's cute. But wait, wait, Jason, you were talking about purple. You were talking about Michelle Purple.

• 45:17Sean Hayes?

  Oh, yeah, yeah. Who's Michelle Purple? Let's go. Let's get back to her.

• 45:20Will Arnett?

  Who is Michelle Purple?

• 45:21Speaker 03

  Michelle Purple, okay. I'm so glad you brought her up. I know you hear this all the time, but she is your number one fan of.

• 45:29Sean Hayes?

  Me?

• 45:30Speaker 03

  Smartless. She is the number one fan of this show and is so excited that I'm talking to you guys. And she literally said to me this much. She goes, if you fuck this up, if you embarrass me or us or our company, I swear to God. And I was like, I'm gonna do my best.

• 45:44Sean Hayes?

  So let's go deep on purple.

• 45:46Will Arnett?

  So she's your business partner, I'm guessing?

• 45:48Speaker 03

  She's my business partner and has been my best friend for over 20 years. She ran Rob Cohen's company. She was a, she produced Fast and the Furious, Triple X, and Stealth. And she hired me, her and Rob hired me for Stealth. That's how we met 20 years ago. And then we were in Australia together, shooting Stealth. And we became really good friends and started watching movies together. And that, talking about going back.

• 46:14Sean Hayes?

  Then you poached her. Then you poached her.

• 46:16Speaker 03

  And I poached her. And she was ready to be poached. She wasn't sure what she wanted to do and honestly, I.

• 46:21Sean Hayes?

  But she knew she wanted to leave Rob. She knew that.

• 46:23Speaker 03

  She knew she needed to move on from that. And I said to her, hey, let's do, let's, let's make a production company. Let's do it. And she was like, you don't know anything about that. And I said, you're right, but you do. So let's, she's like, this is a terrible plan. This is a bad idea.

• 46:40Sean Hayes?

  Sean's sister in Madison, Wisconsin, tell her what starting a production company really means. What did you want to do with starting Iron Ocean?

• 46:50Speaker 03

  Okay, so when you start.

• 46:51Sean Hayes?

  With Michelle Purple.

• 46:52Speaker 03

  With Michelle.

• 46:53Sean Hayes?

  Deep Purple.

• 46:53Speaker 03

  Purple. Um, Michelle Purple, the best.

• 46:57Will Arnett?

  Jason, do you know her? Are you friends with her?

• 46:59Sean Hayes?

  We're deep. We go deep, deep, deep purple.

• 47:01Will Arnett?

  Does he know her?

• 47:03Speaker 03

  Deep Purple. Um, I don't think so.

• 47:04Sean Hayes?

  Oh, we're gonna.

• 47:05Will Arnett?

  Okay.

• 47:05Speaker 03

  But guess what? She wants to know you.

• 47:08Sean Hayes?

  Great.

• 47:09Speaker 03

  So she should come for dinner tonight. She lives in LA.

• 47:12Will Arnett?

  She might change her mind.

• 47:12Sean Hayes?

  Or at least let's, let's have a Zoom for a development meeting on something.

• 47:15Speaker 03

  Oh, God, yes, please. Anyway, production company. So that was a moment where I really wanted to take charge of my career and not just sit around and wait for, for the phone call of like, you have, you have an audition or you have this or that.

• 47:28Will Arnett?

  Sure.

• 47:28Speaker 03

  She wanted to take charge of her career. And so we, we, we started this tiny production company, not, not knowing how to do any of it. Well, she knew how to do, she, she was, she made big films, big action movies, and we wanted to make small movies about women and female stories. And that was when nobody was doing that. The only company that was doing that was Drew's Company.

• 47:50Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Flower.

• 47:51Speaker 03

  Flower. Flower. So.

• 47:53Sean Hayes?

  With the great, with the great Nancy Tronan.

• 47:55Speaker 03

  Nancy, with the Nancy, with the legend of all time Nancy. I love Nancy too. So that was that, literally, we would go into, you know, we'd go talk to our agents and managers and tell them this idea that we're doing this thing. And they literally looked at us and would just blink with blinks faces and go, do not do this. And we're like, we're gonna do it. So we have been trying to make movies and TV shows for 20 years. It was so hard. We did almost nothing for 10 years.

• 48:21Sean Hayes?

  And then did you do, did you do Better Sister through, um, Iron?

• 48:25Speaker 03

  Right, so through Iron Ocean, we, we did The Sinner. We produced The Sinner.

• 48:29Will Arnett?

  Oh, yeah.

• 48:30Speaker 03

  Produced, um, Lime Town, which nobody saw, which was such a bummer and was such a good show.

• 48:35Sean Hayes?

  But taken from a podcast, so teach us how to do that. We're looking to break the Smartless movie.

• 48:41Will Arnett?

  I loved The Sinner. I loved that. That was great.

• 48:43Speaker 03

  Thank you. Um, Better, Better Sister, Candy, Cruel Summer.

• 48:49Sean Hayes?

  You had to work with that, that Liz Banks gal on Better Sister, though. How did you get through that?

• 48:53Speaker 03

  Oh, that Liz Banks.

• 48:54Sean Hayes?

  This, this woman.

• 48:57Speaker 03

  Does more than anyone I know.

• 49:00Sean Hayes?

  And Max. And Max.

• 49:02Speaker 03

  Oh, Max. I love her. She, she's a delight.

• 49:06Sean Hayes?

  They're the best. They're the best.

• 49:08Speaker 03

  They're just delightful and fun. She's so fun. God, she's cool. And she does so much shit. I'm like, how does she do so much shit?

• 49:14Sean Hayes?

  I know.

• 49:15Speaker 03

  She's impressive.

• 49:16Will Arnett?

  Jessica, can I ask you, so you did all, you did all this stuff. Remember Sean asked you before when he, when he jumped the gun, as he does, about having kids and you had kids at the time or you didn't have kids. But now, when you go and you do something like Matchbox and, and, um, and then you go, you're in, you're in Hungary, you're in Morocco, you're in Slovakia, you're in all these places and you got to, and we, we deal with it. I know a little bit of what that's like. But how, how are you at managing that and dealing with that with the family and traveling and doing?

• 49:44Sean Hayes?

  You can't come back and forth when you're over there.

• 49:46Will Arnett?

  Right? Like, yeah, because not only do you have to do the thing, not only do you have to do the job and be concentrating on that.

• 49:52Sean Hayes?

  12 hours a day.

• 49:52Will Arnett?

  12 hours a day. You've got all these people and kids who you're responsible for and you have to make sure that they're having a great experience. It's not, it's not easy.

• 50:00Speaker 03

  No, it's not. And it's a constant balancing act. Sometimes I think I do it better, we do it better than others. And other times, it's an absolute shitstorm.

• 50:11Will Arnett?

  Yeah, right. And we, and it should be, it should be noted that we know that a lot of people out there, obviously, everybody in the world deals with work and kids and stuff like that. And so we're not, but it's also adding in just the travel element of, you know, being overseas.

• 50:25Sean Hayes?

  There's a few occupations that, that have the same thing, you know?

• 50:28Speaker 03

  Right.

• 50:29Sean Hayes?

  And not the least of which is military and, um, I mean, athletes and politicians and all these. They're stationed around the world, all that kind of stuff. It's, it's very, very difficult, that travel element. How do you guys do it?

• 50:40Speaker 03

  Well, usually we try not to work at the same time, but that did not work at all for Matchbox. Justin was on tour in the middle of the, the global tour, which was insane. He was literally in South America or he was in, he was in North America and I was in Budapest with the kids. They, they came for seven weeks. We didn't see Justin for eight weeks. Then we met back up in the Bahamas for a week. Then I went to Morocco, then he went to South America, and my kids went back to Montana. It was, it was wild. The only way it works is the incredible nanny team, support team, assistant team, colleague team. I cannot do this. My life does not function without like all of those incredible.

• 51:25Sean Hayes?

  And do you guys have family in Montana with you, near you?

• 51:27Speaker 03

  We don't have, well, Justin's cousin Rachel and my kid's cousin Hawkins is here. But we, like, my mom doesn't live here. My mom lives in Colorado. His parents are in Tennessee. My dad is in Hawaii. So we're all over the place. We don't really have kind of the, we don't have grandparents close by.

• 51:47Will Arnett?

  Yeah.

• 51:47Speaker 03

  Unfortunately, which is a bummer.

• 51:49Will Arnett?

  Yeah. But you, but you make it work and you figure out and you get great people to help you. And those become, I think that that's, that's pretty normal. It used to be generations ago that you had family around to help. And now because people live in all these places, as you pointed out, you have to have people who can help you, who become part of your family.

• 52:06Speaker 03

  Oh, my God.

• 52:06Will Arnett?

  And help you. Yeah. Yeah, same.

• 52:08Sean Hayes?

  Takes the village. All right. So what, so when you're done being incredibly prolific as, as an actor, as a producer, your, your, your job at home, which is even harder, um, when you're alone, what would, what do you do to completely?

• 52:26Will Arnett?

  What are you scared of?

• 52:27Sean Hayes?

  Oh, yeah. What, what, what do you do?

• 52:29Will Arnett?

  What's the thought that you can't get out of your head?

• 52:31Sean Hayes?

  What settles you that would be surprising to people?

• 52:34Speaker 03

  Oh, wait. What's

• 52:36Speaker 01

  Don't listen to Will.

• 52:37Speaker 03

  Settled, unsettled, said, "Don't listen to Will."

• 52:39Speaker 01

  You don't listen to Will.

• 52:39Speaker 03

  But his voice is so hypnotic, that's all I can hear right now.

• 52:42Speaker 01

  I know, it gets in there.

• 52:43Speaker 03

  Oh my god, it is getting in there.

• 52:44Speaker 01

  Like, how do you decompress? How do you reset? I like to just zone out and stare at a baseball game on a television screen. That sort of is just very meditative for me. What, is there something that takes you back down?

• 52:59Speaker 03

  Usually it's exercise. Or getting outside and just being, you know, taking a walk, taking a hike, walking the dogs, or training hard.

• 53:10Speaker 01

  Do you have headphones on when you're outside? Or do you, can you get quiet with your brain?

• 53:15Speaker 03

  I go a little bit of both. I like to listen to books on, you know, like, books on tape, whatever.

• 53:20Speaker 01

  Yeah, sure, sure.

• 53:21Speaker 03

  Whatever you want to call that. So I listen to, like, I love to read. I love to kind of dive into that kind of imaginary space world. And also just to listen to the birds and listen to the wind. That for me, I love, like, a good forest bath.

• 53:37Will Arnett?

  I love that, yeah. A forest bath, I love that.

• 53:39Sean Hayes?

  Forest bath. The name of my production company.

• 53:41Will Arnett?

  Jason, we were, Jason, we were talking about this the other night at dinner. Sean, you didn't come because you had no plans. And we were at a, Jessica, you should know, we're all together and we're leaving this place and we're going for dinner, because we're all in town again.

• 53:54Speaker 01

  Which just shared a very emotional, bonding evening at a dear friend's memorial.

• 54:00Will Arnett?

  And Sean and Scotty go home. They got nothing to do. And they go, they don't, they don't come with their best friends for dinner.

• 54:06Sean Hayes?

  They don't want to rehash and hold each other.

• 54:09Speaker 01

  No, I just, I was just, I-

• 54:11Will Arnett?

  What was it?

• 54:12Sean Hayes?

  Wheel of Fortune was starting, probably, right? A, B, I was tired, C, Jeopardy, too.

• 54:17Will Arnett?

  Oh, okay.

• 54:18Sean Hayes?

  And Jeopardy's before Wheel of Fortune.

• 54:20Will Arnett?

  You were tired from what? So, but anyway, my point is this, JB, you and I were talking at dinner about this idea of, there's not enough premium these days paid on, for the idea of just sitting around and having nothing. You're not holding your phone, you're not listening to anything, you're looking out the window, you're just alone in your thoughts, and just that sort of, in that kind of state. And that is where people say, like, oh, you know, where does creativity come, or whatever? It comes out of boredom, it comes out of letting your mind wander. And I don't think, do you ever, do you do that?

• 54:51Speaker 01

  Who, me? No, she does, she says yes.

• 54:54Will Arnett?

  No, she said she's outside.

• 54:55Speaker 01

  Out in the forest bath.

• 54:56Speaker 03

  But, but, but to your point, just like, sitting there, forest bathing. I mean, you gotta do it. But I need more of that in my life, honestly. I can get into that space where, when I do come home, I'm like, okay, now it's time to work out. Okay, now it's like, oh, what's happening for the kids tomorrow? Like, there's not, there's not much time. And you really do have to carve out that time to sit quietly.

• 55:18Will Arnett?

  You know when I find, you know, when I do it these days, we were talking about it, I do it on airplanes. I'll often force myself to not read, not to watch a movie, not to whatever, and I just, like a-

• 55:27Speaker 01

  Look out the window.

• 55:27Will Arnett?

  Like a dummy, drooling, looking out the window.

• 55:29Sean Hayes?

  Yeah. But wait, can I go back to the forest bath thing? Is that a real, okay?

• 55:33Speaker 03

  That, no, it is a thing, yes, we can go back.

• 55:36Sean Hayes?

  So wait, is it a real bath in the forest?

• 55:38Speaker 01

  No, you fucking, god damn it.

• 55:41Speaker 03

  Maybe we shouldn't have gone back. I'm so sorry, you guys, that's my bad.

• 55:44Will Arnett?

  What do you think it is, a Cialis, what do you think, she's in a Cialis ad? She's just sitting in a bathtub out in the forest? What are you talking about?

• 55:51Speaker 03

  I fell into that trap. I walked right in.

• 55:55Speaker 01

  I don't understand.

• 55:56Speaker 03

  It's just the sounds, it's the-

• 55:58Sean Hayes?

  Oh, okay, so you put on sound, why you're taking a bath.

• 56:00Speaker 03

  You're just like, walking through the forest, bathing in the sounds of the forest.

• 56:05Speaker 01

  Let the, let the force wash over you.

• 56:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, yeah, wash over.

• 56:08Sean Hayes?

  But let's talk about a bath, but let's talk about a bath versus a shower.

• 56:10Speaker 03

  Let's do it, I love a bath.

• 56:12Speaker 01

  Great segue, let's get into the bathroom, Sean.

• 56:14Sean Hayes?

  Because a bath, because a bath is 10 times more effort and work than a shower.

• 56:18Speaker 03

  Wait, are you saying you prefer the bath or not?

• 56:21Sean Hayes?

  No, prefer the shower. The bath, you gotta turn it on, you gotta be at the right temperature, you gotta wait a half hour for it to-

• 56:26Will Arnett?

  I forgot about turning it on, you're right.

• 56:27Speaker 03

  That is hard.

• 56:29Will Arnett?

  Oh, man, I forgot about that.

• 56:31Speaker 03

  I feel like JB, you might be into a hydrogen bath.

• 56:34Speaker 01

  No, I-

• 56:35Speaker 03

  You're kind of like a longevity-

• 56:36Sean Hayes?

  What's that?

• 56:37Speaker 03

  Like, person, right?

• 56:38Speaker 01

  I don't, yes, I don't mind working on my longevity, for sure. But what I don't like about baths is, not only, as I've discussed before on the show, you're stewing in your own juices, but you've gotta get out of the bath and then shower.

• 56:51Speaker 03

  Do you?

• 56:51Speaker 01

  Because you gotta get, well, of course you do. Because you've been sitting in your filth for 20 minutes.

• 56:57Speaker 03

  How dirty are you, JB?

• 56:59Will Arnett?

  Jason, it's your dad's voice again, it's your dad's voice again. Stop.

• 57:03Speaker 03

  That was, that was, that went up.

• 57:04Will Arnett?

  It's not filth, Jason, you're not dirty, Jason.

• 57:06Speaker 01

  You're sitting in filth.

• 57:07Will Arnett?

  You're sitting in your own filth.

• 57:09Speaker 01

  Tell me, but just, just give me the math, just indulge me for one second.

• 57:13Will Arnett?

  Okay.

• 57:13Speaker 01

  You get into the bath, you're not clean before you get in the bath, right? Can we agree upon that? You've taken your clothes off, so you've got your dirt and your sweat, whatever, from your day, and you get into the water, where does all the filth go? Still in the water, the drain is clogged, so that the water doesn't run out, right? So you're still in all the dirt that was just on your skin.

• 57:34Speaker 03

  Oh my god, I just realized, I am a disgusting human and I have been soaking my-

• 57:37Speaker 01

  Yeah, when you get out of the bath, you gotta take a shower.

• 57:40Speaker 03

  I do often take a shower.

• 57:41Will Arnett?

  You're dirty, Jason.

• 57:42Speaker 03

  Most, I would say 95% of the time, I am taking a shower after the bath, except when it's hydrogen bathing, and you're not supposed to do that.

• 57:48Speaker 01

  What's hydrogen bathing?

• 57:49Speaker 03

  Because it's pulling the detox, it's detoxing you.

• 57:52Speaker 01

  But what is that?

• 57:52Speaker 03

  And then, it's in the water, you just gotta get out, and then I think you're supposed to leave that on your body, am I wrong about that, JB?

• 57:58Speaker 01

  But what's hydro, well, how is hydrogen in water? I don't know about it. Is it like Epsom salts?

• 58:02Speaker 03

  It's like, it's a machine that injects the hydrogen gas into and makes little teeny tiny bubbles.

• 58:09Sean Hayes?

  In the bath?

• 58:10Speaker 03

  In the bath.

• 58:11Speaker 01

  That sounds good. It's a carbonated, carbonated bath.

• 58:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's like you're in a soda.

• 58:15Sean Hayes?

  Does it work?

• 58:16Will Arnett?

  I like a bath, I love a bath.

• 58:18Speaker 03

  I think so, I love a bath. I also love a crazy Epsom salt bath, like, with 20 pounds of Epsom salt, I'm not kidding.

• 58:23Will Arnett?

  Can I tell you something? Can I tell you one of the most relaxing things in the world to do is to smoke a cigarette in a bath?

• 58:28Speaker 03

  Ooh.

• 58:29Will Arnett?

  I love doing that.

• 58:31Speaker 01

  With a little, you have a little TV on in the corner there, Will?

• 58:33Will Arnett?

  Yeah, I did, I-

• 58:34Sean Hayes?

  But wait, what about- But let me ask about Epsom salt. Like, is Epsom salt supposed to do, what is it supposed to do to your skin? Why do you have so much of it?

• 58:42Speaker 01

  It pulls stuff out of your skin, right? Isn't that kind of the science?

• 58:44Speaker 03

  It's definitely gonna detox, but it's going to, it's gonna take the inflammation away. So if you're, if you're soaking with so many pounds of it, like, to your body weight, you wake up next morning snatched. You know what I'm saying?

• 58:57Sean Hayes?

  Do you ever-

• 58:58Speaker 01

  Did you say snatched?

• 58:59Speaker 03

  I did.

• 59:00Will Arnett?

  Snatched.

• 59:01Speaker 01

  You wake up snatched.

• 59:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, like, if you have a, you know, you gotta shoot the next day, and everything, you know, your whole body, your body's a basically a giant hemorrhoid, guys. It's going up, it's going down, it's going up, it's going down.

• 59:14Speaker 01

  You're saying I can wake up slightly thinner, a little bit more taut, less, less water?

• 59:20Speaker 03

  Not even slightly thinner. Like, it's gone, you are snatched.

• 59:23Sean Hayes?

  Do you ever, do you ever pretend when you're in the bath that you're shooting, do you ever pretend you're shooting a commercial, and you take the sponge and you just kind of wash your arm? You know, like, they do in movies and commercials?

• 59:34Speaker 03

  You mean like, slow and sexy, alone in the bath?

• 59:36Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, did you ever do that, sometimes?

• 59:38Speaker 01

  Nope, not ever.

• 59:39Speaker 03

  No, you know what, I like scrub like it's the end of my life.

• 59:43Sean Hayes?

  Okay.

• 59:43Speaker 03

  You know, I'm like trying to, I'm like scrubbing so hard, it's not cute.

• 59:47Will Arnett?

  I take, I take a shower like Karen Silkwood, I'm just in there in the corner, just crying. Yeah.

• 59:54Speaker 01

  Yeah. But Sean, can I come back to you for one sec? Sure. So you're in the shower, and you slow things down with the, first of all, there's a sponge in the shower? Did I get that right?

• 1:00:04Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, there's always a sponge, yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:05Will Arnett?

  A loofah.

• 1:00:05Sean Hayes?

  But I do, but I do think-

• 1:00:07Speaker 01

  Can you slowly drag it across your arm with a slight grin, as if you're in a commercial?

• 1:00:11Sean Hayes?

  No, I do scrub, but I do, you know what I do? When I wash my legs, like my calf, I'll hold the sponge and move my leg, not move the sponge.

• 1:00:19Speaker 01

  What fun you have in the shower.

• 1:00:21Will Arnett?

  Amazing, dude, I'm just a progression of humans, you've just learned so much.

• 1:00:24Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, I'll do this, Jess, Jess, watch, I'll do this.

• 1:00:27Speaker 03

  I'm watching, I'm watching.

• 1:00:28Sean Hayes?

  I'll do this, if this is a thing, I'll do this.

• 1:00:31Will Arnett?

  Definitely show, oh, that's incredible. So it's kind of like a little workout in the middle.

• 1:00:35Speaker 01

  It reminds me of the guy I know that masturbates, he masturbates missionary style. He lays on his bed, he lays on his bed, stomach down, and he just fucks his hand. And this is a guy I know, okay? He's as stupid as you are, you fucking moron. Hey, Jessica, I love having you on this show so much.

• 1:00:58Sean Hayes?

  Shit, what a joy you are.

• 1:01:00Speaker 01

  You're the greatest, all right?

• 1:01:03Will Arnett?

  What a pleasure to have you on this podcast, Jessica. Take that as your parting thought, you know?

• 1:01:10Speaker 03

  I'll never, I'll never forget that.

• 1:01:12Speaker 01

  I really appreciate you taking time out.

• 1:01:15Sean Hayes?

  I thoroughly enjoy you, and I hope we can meet in person one day, I've been a fan for a long time.

  Well, that's gonna be huge.

  This guy, this guy, yeah, is, this is, this is, by the way, he's not the same guy, but he's also friends with the fella who doesn't chew gum because he doesn't understand why you'd chew something that you never swallow.

• 1:02:26Sean Hayes?

  What?

• 1:02:27Speaker 01

  These two guys are friends, both friends, yep. So this is why I'm constantly shopping for new friends, I'd love to find time for the both of you. We're gonna start tonight at dinner, and I hope it works out.

  What are we gonna have for dinner?

• 1:02:41Speaker 01

  Sushi and pizza. Wasn't that the request?

• 1:02:44Sean Hayes?

  Yeah, you know what, I could eat sushi, I could eat sushi-

• 1:02:47Speaker 01

  Here it comes.

• 1:02:47Sean Hayes?

  In chunks of 12 pieces, which would be-

• 1:02:50Speaker 01

  So that would be, uh-

• 1:02:51Sean Hayes?

  By the dozen!

• 1:02:53Speaker 01

  Oh, I thought you were gonna say 12 bites.

• 1:02:56Sean Hayes?
