Speaker 4 (0:05) Okay, so the secret to a peanut butter sandwich, I don't do the jelly, don't even start. I get the knife and I stir up the peanut butter and then on the bread, you have to wipe it all the way to the edge and you put the other piece of bread on, you slice it right down the middle, don't do corners, don't do fours, and then you wash it down with a nice cold glass of Speaker 2 (0:28) Smartless. Welcome to Smartless. Speaker 4 (0:49) Jason, I just got off the phone with Amanda. I can't believe you were in the airport for 18 hours. Is that right? Speaker 3 (0:55) Oh, yeah. It wasn't fantastic. That's unbelievable. Speaker 2 (0:59) Before you start, I can't believe you got off the phone with Amanda. Okay, go ahead, Jason. Speaker 3 (1:03) No, that was 19 hours. The plane flight to Iceland was just 18. Speaker 4 (1:10) Wait, wait, wait. Jason, what happened? Because it was delayed? Just Speaker 3 (1:13) a delay. Yeah, a bunch of weather in New York, and that meant we couldn't take off from L.A., and then there was a layover once we got to New York. No one's complaining. We're out here. We're living our dream here in Iceland. In Speaker 4 (1:26) Iceland? I can't believe you're there. What Speaker 3 (1:28) time is it? Right now, it is 4.30 in the afternoon. Speaker 4 (1:33) Are you exhausted? Speaker 3 (1:35) Yes. Speaker 4 (1:36) Yes. Speaker 3 (1:36) But, you know, I've got just a beak full of schnitz. I'm ready to go. Yeah, I've got piped into some great Icelandic stuff. Oh, you've been doing Speaker 2 (1:47) so great all these years. Oh, Speaker 3 (1:49) no. Everything's white here. So it's just like, give me a Speaker 4 (1:52) bag of that. You can't tell what's what. Speaker 3 (1:57) Yeah, no, I'm up for it. I'm into it. Well, I'm glad you made it. Yeah. How are you guys today? Good. Will has not run out of gum. This is great news. Speaker 2 (2:08) I'm trying to keep it quiet. You know, they've got Speaker 3 (2:11) lozenges and I think some cream. They've got nicotine cream. Is Speaker 2 (2:15) that nicotine gum for real? Of course it is. No, I've got the pouch in and then I use gum because I need to kind of cut it with the gum. Wait a second. Speaker 3 (2:22) So you have a pouch in your mouth and gum. Speaker 2 (2:26) And regular gum. Regular gum. A regular gum. That kind of cuts it for me. Speaker 3 (2:30) What do you mean cuts it, like makes it less powerful? Speaker 2 (2:33) Yeah, and just like helps with the taste of it because you get a little bit of like some of that thing that I don't really enjoy. Speaker 4 (2:39) I'll do a glass of water and a glass of apple juice and I cut the juice Speaker 2 (2:44) with the Speaker 4 (2:44) water. Speaker 3 (2:45) Because sometimes the apple juice is too strong for you, son. Yeah, Speaker 2 (2:48) it Speaker 3 (2:48) is. Speaker 2 (2:49) But do you find that if you drink both that your pull-ups get full early? Like do you have to like, you know? My adult pull-ups? Yeah. Speaker 3 (2:59) Oh my God, Sean. I just love him so much. He's a teddy bear with a heart. Speaker 4 (3:06) He Speaker 3 (3:07) drinks whole milk, right? Speaker 4 (3:10) No, it's usually skim milk. Speaker 3 (3:13) I'll Speaker 4 (3:14) drink whole milk, but it's usually skim. What's Speaker 3 (3:16) the difference between skim milk and 2 %? Speaker 4 (3:17) Well, the skim tastes a little bit... The whole milk smells a little funny. It tastes a little too thick for me. But I like a milkshake. With whole milk. Yeah, Speaker 3 (3:29) no, Speaker 4 (3:29) I know that. Speaker 3 (3:30) But what about 2 % versus skim? Do we know? Is it just a different name for the same thing? Speaker 2 (3:36) Well, it's less fat. It's like half. I think it's like a step between, isn't it? It's less fat. Well, which is less? The skim milk is zero fat. Speaker 3 (3:44) Oh, really? Right? Yeah. 2 % still leaves a little bit on top. Has not been fully skimmed. I Speaker 4 (3:50) think that's right. This Speaker 3 (3:51) is Speaker 4 (3:51) correct. I Speaker 3 (3:51) think that's Speaker 4 (3:52) right, yeah. Listener, are you still with us? I also never understood why. I also never understood like 1%, 2%. Is it really that much different? Like the difference between 1 % and 2 % isn't that much in life. Well, 2 is double. It's Speaker 3 (4:06) in Speaker 4 (4:06) the thickness of the cheesecloth, what you Speaker 3 (4:08) drag across the top of the tin pail. Speaker 2 (4:12) Would you be upset if I had T-shirts made that say I like milkshakes? Speaker 3 (4:17) No, I would wear Speaker 4 (4:19) one. Speaker 2 (4:19) Okay. I would totally wear one. Speaker 3 (4:20) And on back, can I print skim me? Speaker 4 (4:26) Go ahead and skim me. Hey, I went to the Hollywood Bowl two nights ago. It was gorgeous. Hang on, Will. Sean's Speaker 3 (4:31) got a bit. Hold on. No, I had no bit. Speaker 4 (4:33) No. No bit other than I was there literally two nights ago and I was listening to Bizet and like Carmen and stuff. And I looked up at the stage. I'm like, we're going to be there October 17th. And I was like, it didn't feel that scary. In my mind, it's scary. But then when I was there, I was like, okay, it's a little less scary. Speaker 3 (4:51) But did you turn around and look at the crowd behind Speaker 4 (4:54) you? Yes. Which would be our perspective. That's where it gets scary. I know. My stomach dropped a little bit then. But yeah, it's Speaker 3 (5:02) been Speaker 4 (5:02) fun. I Speaker 3 (5:02) hope there's more than just friends and family sitting in that big, huge bowl. I know. You hear that, listener? There will be. Listener, get yourself a ticket and just help us out a little bit because it's going to be scary. And it'd be less scary if there's friends there. October 17th. Speaker 4 (5:16) Guys, you're going to be less scary today because it's somebody we all know. Sorry, wait. Just remind Speaker 3 (5:21) me so I don't miss it. When do I need to be at the Bowl? What date is that? That'll be Speaker 4 (5:24) October 17th. October 17th. That's a Saturday. At the Hollywood Bowl. That's Speaker 2 (5:29) a Saturday. So if you're coming from out of town, you have plenty of time to get there after work Friday. You know, you can... Come Saturday morning if you want. If you want to travel Saturday Speaker 3 (5:37) morning. Sleep at our house. Yeah, and if you're coming Speaker 2 (5:39) from the East, even coming from the East Coast, you got the time difference. I mean, you leave on a 9 a.m. flight, you're here by noon. Yeah, it's a Speaker 3 (5:45) three-hour net difference. What if the Speaker 4 (5:47) three of us slept like the old people in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in one bed? One big wide bed. One Speaker 3 (5:52) big feet in Speaker 4 (5:52) the head. Speaker 3 (5:53) Oh, Speaker 4 (5:53) God. If we ever do Speaker 3 (5:55) another doc, we got to do a shot of that. All Speaker 4 (5:57) right, guys, my guess, you're going to love this person. Okay. Well, we'll see. You Speaker 3 (6:02) already Speaker 4 (6:02) do. You already do. because she's very close to us. My guest today, she spent 12 years taking a piano lesson. She says she hated every minute of it. Her mother's work kept the family moving back and forth between Virginia and Europe. She left college three credits short of graduating and waited tables in New York before eventually took her, before her dreams took her west. Whoa, Speaker 2 (6:22) I came back. Wait, is it Sandy? Speaker 4 (6:29) Oh, yes, it is. I got Speaker 3 (6:31) the laugh. I got the laugh. There it is. Wait, Speaker 2 (6:34) this Speaker 4 (6:34) is the best line. She once shared her home with two rescue dogs who had five legs between them. Oh, yeah, it's definitely Sandy. I think she's still got the one with the three legs. It's Sandra Bullock. We love her. Get her out of here. Sandra. Sandra. I'm Speaker 1 (6:48) going Speaker 4 (6:48) to take Speaker 1 (6:49) my own life. Speaker 4 (6:52) I heard the laugh. Speaker 3 (6:54) I'm here. Speaker 1 (6:54) I'm here. Speaker 3 (6:55) That's Sandy laughing. That was the worst Speaker 1 (6:58) intro ever. Speaker 3 (7:00) Sandy B. Do you guys, Speaker 1 (7:01) here's my question. I was listening to you guys converse. Do you guys really, is this how you guys speak to and with each other when no one else is listening? Are these the subjects that you guys cover, like milk, fat, content, things like that? It's Speaker 3 (7:14) just that bad. And somehow we thought this might be worth monetizing. Yeah. Is Speaker 1 (7:20) that what you're doing? You're sort of putting something out there so you get, well, Sean. Sean's the only one who drinks the milk in this group, so you'll get the free cases. Yeah. Organic, right? You prefer organic? Speaker 4 (7:29) Well, yeah. I don't want to know what's non-organic look like. I mean, talk to me about that. It doesn't have the smell. Speaker 3 (7:35) Yeah. Sean, do you do your own grocery shopping? Speaker 4 (7:38) Sometimes. I hate, I don't like grocery shopping. Do Speaker 3 (7:40) you Speaker 1 (7:40) order online or do you go? Speaker 4 (7:42) No, I go. I don't like grocery shopping, stopping for gas, or doing the dishes. Speaker 1 (7:46) Oh, Speaker 4 (7:47) so you mean Speaker 3 (7:47) being a normal person? Yeah. Speaker 4 (7:49) Yeah. You Speaker 3 (7:49) like to have staff doing all those things? Or laundry. I like private jets. Or laundry. And I like jewels. Speaker 2 (7:59) Like gold bars. Okay. Relatable. Speaker 1 (8:06) At least he's honest. He's honest. He's not trying to be humble. Right. Speaker 4 (8:09) That's why I got an electric car so I don't have to stop for gas anymore. Speaker 3 (8:12) Now, Sandy, something that's always impressed me about you is that you're a great, big, huge-ass star, but you get out there with the people. Yes, she always does. You Speaker 4 (8:22) don't Speaker 3 (8:22) care. When you say, Speaker 1 (8:25) I don't care what does that mean. Well, you don't care about being stopped. You Speaker 3 (8:28) don't care Speaker 1 (8:28) how you looked. You don't care how you... About Speaker 3 (8:30) engaging with the public and people saying, hi, I love you. What Speaker 1 (8:35) do Speaker 3 (8:35) you do? Speaker 1 (8:36) Are you standoffish? Speaker 3 (8:37) No, no, no, no. But I mean, we know people mutually that I think are every bit as famous as you, but feel like they might not be able to get out there and into it. I mean, I can think of... Is it for safety that they Speaker 1 (8:52) don't feel? It could be. I mean, it might be safety. Speaker 3 (8:54) Well, but you've had your brushes with things that are unsafe, yet you still, you're out there. They seem to come Speaker 1 (8:59) to my house, so it's my house that's unsafe. Speaker 4 (9:03) Sandra Bullock, where are you right now? Speaker 1 (9:05) Hi, cutie patootie. I'm in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Speaker 4 (9:08) Oh, you are. So pretty there. I love it. It's Speaker 1 (9:10) so great. The kids are on the water. They're fishing this morning. Speaker 4 (9:13) I love that. Last year, by the way, I listened to your previous episode that you... did for us. Years ago? What did we Speaker 1 (9:21) talk about? Speaker 4 (9:22) I know. I was not Speaker 1 (9:24) mentally there during that show, so I don't even know what we talked Speaker 4 (9:27) about. It was five Speaker 1 (9:27) years ago. Can you believe that? Speaker 4 (9:30) Yeah. So it was like one of our first, what, 50 episodes probably? Something like that. Yeah. Speaker 3 (9:34) Why was your head not there? I forget, Sandy. Because Speaker 1 (9:37) it was the whole Brian thing. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 3 (9:41) I was going Speaker 1 (9:42) to get Speaker 4 (9:42) there and I had this whole beautiful... I don't remember Speaker 1 (9:45) anything. Speaker 4 (9:46) We were COVIDing too, weren't we? Speaker 1 (9:48) Yeah. Somewhere, probably. Right. Yeah. You're talking about isolated. Speaker 4 (9:52) Now, do you... Well, I'm going to jump ahead. First of all, Speaker 1 (9:54) hold on. Before you go too far, is that a legit shelf stock behind you or is that just for camera? It's because it's fabulously stocked. Well, it's Speaker 4 (10:02) a mess. It's just like... No, but it Speaker 1 (10:03) feels very curated. A nice mess. Yeah, but I Speaker 4 (10:07) got little Grogu right there. I Speaker 1 (10:09) see that. Is that Paulson? Speaker 4 (10:11) It looks like Sarah Paulson. It looks like Sarah Paulson. Now it is. Sarah Paulson. And the Emmy Speaker 1 (10:16) on the other side. Speaker 4 (10:17) This is from Adam Driver. This is, I don't know what that is. That's Speaker 1 (10:20) an Emmy. Speaker 4 (10:21) Oh, that's an Emmy. This Speaker 2 (10:22) is Speaker 4 (10:22) a printing Speaker 2 (10:23) machine. Speaker 3 (10:24) Any faxes Speaker 2 (10:24) coming through? Any faxes coming through right now? You want to check the faxes? Wait, Speaker 3 (10:26) but I think you've corrected us before. That is only one of your Emmys. This is correct. They're Speaker 4 (10:32) all over. I can't pan. Speaker 3 (10:34) I Speaker 4 (10:35) know. Speaker 3 (10:35) Have you forgotten how many Emmys you have? How many do you have? Speaker 4 (10:37) I can't remember. Speaker 3 (10:39) We don't have enough time. Speaker 4 (10:41) Oh, God, it's just incredible. Good for you. By the way, you Speaker 1 (10:44) know, Speaker 4 (10:44) the sad part is nobody knows who won anything ever. Okay, so. It's true. But they know what you wore. I was going to wait, Sandy, but I'm going to go back and get everything else. But let's get into Practical Magic, too, because I just saw it. You did? Because Sandy's a friend, and I got a link, and I got a little secret something. Oh. And it was, I fucking loved it. Did Speaker 1 (11:04) you really? I loved it. You're not just saying that? Speaker 4 (11:06) No, are you kidding? Well, first of all. I'm the biggest nerd. I like fantasy, sci-fi, you know, that kind of stuff. Harry Potter. I can tell when Sean's Speaker 3 (11:13) lying. He's not lying. No, Speaker 4 (11:14) I loved it so much. And I loved your performance. Nicole, Diane Weiss. Stocker. Stocker Channing. Yeah, all the kids. I want to re-watch the first one. Speaker 1 (11:25) Joey and Maisie, yeah. So good. Do you Speaker 3 (11:27) recommend re-watching the first one before the second one? Speaker 1 (11:30) Yeah. Well, you don't have to. There's Speaker 2 (11:31) some Speaker 1 (11:31) callbacks? You Speaker 2 (11:31) don't have Speaker 1 (11:31) to, but there are some callbacks. Yeah. There are definitely some callbacks, but if you've never seen the first, you don't. You can pick up. And the first one was like, you know, it wasn't like a massive gigantic hit, Speaker 4 (11:42) but then it became one. later it became this cult thing yeah and so it made sense to do the sequel because it was like oh it's really cool I loved it so much and I love how Speaker 3 (11:51) long did you guys wait in between each one I Speaker 1 (11:54) mean a couple decades yeah Speaker 3 (11:55) wow awesome I Speaker 1 (11:56) mean when the first one came out we were eviscerated we were by the critics it was how many women do you need in a film you know how many tones do you need in a film comedy and drama and magic and like it was it was a slight I found myself like crouching down by the end of the junket. You could just see I was like this, a C-shape. And then you just go, okay, that
