Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:04Hey, um, I've never told you guys my life story before. Okay, so Toronto. I don't know if we have... May, 1970. Will, it's weird. Over here, I'm getting the red light for you. Oh, that's enough. They just want to start? Yeah. Welcome to SmartList. Smart. Light us.
0:24Smart. Light us.
0:30Smart. Light us. Hi, JB. Hi. you guys. So this is your new relax zone. JB's in Brooklyn. This is how I picture it. Now JB's now in New York for a little, for a stretch. And I pictured you going there Saturday and I asked you, because I was like, I know what you're, just hear me out. You get to your spot, you drop your stuff, and then you find the spot on the couch where you're perp and dick to the TV. That is so true. Yeah, but I already scouted that though when I had to pick the apartment. I had to make sure there was an L type configuration in front of the TV. The rest of the apartment, I don't care about.
1:11I just need to know I've got a nesting spot. Are you happy with the apartment? I am. Oh, good. I'm very happy. But, you know, I'm a soft guy. I'm prone to homesickness. You know, it's lonely. I mean, I live with three incredible women, and now I'm all alone. But what did I have to sort of buoy my spirits? a pair of brand new slippers waiting for me in the apartment from sweet sweet shawnee yeah is that true shawnee yes i got willie something for his ankles and i got jason you did i mean it's what did you did you get him some running weights for his ankle no he got me he got me that he got me that thing to stretch my calves because i'm having my hamstring but and i sent you slippers because i know that as i said in the text you're not supposed to be well raised.
2:05I know I'm not well raised. We were kind of raised by wolves. But I think that's probably why, right? But isn't it true though, because I was thinking about you being alone there and I was like isn't it nice to have just something soft like that or whatever it is. I texted you like slippers to me make a home. Once you have slippers then you feel like you're like... Or an L-shaped couch. Sean, how come every time you say it's nice to have something soft you seem to grab on your belly and you just give it a nice... Oh, the cookie pouch. I couldn't mail my belly. The cookie pouch. Cookie pouch. Oh, I miss it.
2:40How are you guys doing? What's going on back home? So listen, my thing is, I think I told, well, Will FaceTimed me and I answered it from the ER, right? Not just that. We had been taught, I had seen him for lunch. Yeah. Okay, we had this lunch meeting with, and JB, you would have been there, but you were traveling. So we had this lunch meeting. I don't know. 90 minutes later, I FaceTimed Sean to ask him something. He's in the back of an ambulance. No, dude, he's on a gurney. He's on a gurney in the hall at Cedars. Angel, what happened? And I go, what the fuck is going on? Yeah, no, I got the AFib thing again.
3:22And you guys know. And they just, I talked about it on the tour. And that's where Jimmy Kimmel gave me the nickname of Paddle. So I texted Jimmy and I said, paddles is at it again. And I took a picture and I texted it to Jimmy of me in my gown, all hooked up to the wires. And yeah, I just said AFib. And so they put me out, they paddled, they zapped my heart. So for the medical Tracys out there, AFib is what? It's just an irregular heartbeat? Yeah, it's atrial fibrillation. So some people are in it all the time and they don't know it. I know when I get it, which is a good thing because then I can go to the ER.
3:57Here's the worst part. or the best part. Yeah, your heart just raked. Here's the best part. So we're at this lunch. Again, business lunch. The guy says, you guys want anything? You guys want anything at the end? He's going to bring the check. You guys want anything? You want a coffee or something? He said, I'll take a coffee. Our buddy Rick is there, Rick K. Rick says, I'll take a coffee too. And Sean says, as the guy's walking away, I'll take a milkshake. Oh, God. It's noon, right? You can't have dessert from lunch. It's noon. And he goes, he goes, just, by the way, just vanilla. Just vanilla.
4:28And I said, and I said, and if you've got any paddles, bring him to the table. Oh, no. Oh, my God. I forgot you said that. So 90 minutes later, he's in the hallway at fucking Cedars on a gurney. And I'm like, oh, fuck. Those gowns are beautiful. If he goes down from this today and I've suggested the paddles, I'm really going to feel badly for a couple weeks. So you get into the, okay, so you feel the heart is racing. I should get to an emergency room because things might unravel from here. Like it doesn't fix itself. You need to go in there and you literally need to get like a jumpstart to get it off.
5:05It's like restarting a car or something. So they just said, but they put you out, which is great. And of course, I always try to think of something. Oh, by the way, I read the thing. Wait, we'll cut out this air that takes me to find this. This is worth it. This is great. We can have some music. We can play some music now. Sorry, mystery guests. Just hang on. Sean's got props. Sean's got some stuff they want us to look up. So I said, she starts going, because this is what they do every time. Who's she? The doctor in the ER. This is what they do, because I've been cardioversion, right? It's called cardioversion.
5:40And I've had this done to me like 15 times. So she starts gathering the anesthesiologist, two nurses, her, somebody else. I don't know. There's like five or six people there. and they stand around the bed right before the procedure and they have to announce all this stuff. And as she's getting into it, I say, do you mind if I take over? She goes, sure. I go, okay, everyone, the patient's name is Sean Hayes. Date of birth is 62670. We're treating him today for atrial fibrillation. We're going to use 10 milligrams of etomidate and we're going to attempt cardioversion. Everybody okay? And she goes, she's like, what?
6:13Nobody's ever done that. She goes, yeah, now we're ready. So that's how often I've had this done. this is my god you will do anything for applause what about what about is is what about maybe buying your own set of paddles oh that's a great idea no i thought about just doing like small why don't you turn the garage into an er yeah or just a section of it near the near the washer dryer where maybe scotty can just kind of bang you back into rhythm yeah they can teach they can Robert has paddles at his house like a whole thing what truly wow yeah all right well so So I'd love to circle back to, and I'm sorry, guests, we're going to get right to you, but, you know, I'd love to get you to stop drinking ice cream for lunch.
6:55I know. You know, let's just start to just kind of chip away at the, maybe the problem before. Dude, he's got the maker at home now. Now he's got the ice cream here. You forget. It doesn't have anything to do with that. It just has, it's because I had a, I mean, it's a long conversation. Oh. Yeah, I don't stumble into AFib. If it was because of the gummies, we'd be talking to JB. He'd be at New York Presbyterian right now. As would the entire country now that it's all legal and people are enjoying it. But if you're prone to it like I am, then it's like a trigger. Listen, I don't want to mention, I don't want to cut in because we don't have a lot of time because it's going to be air so far away from it.
7:39But instead of going there, I went to the All-Star Game and I coached Connor McDavid and I was the co-captain with Connor McDavid. That's right. Get to Willie's All-Star Weekend. It's really quick. I had a hockey nirvana. It was a fucking, it was unbelievable. I finally met Wendell Clark for the first time. That was the first time you met him? So Tracy, Wendell Clark is a very, very famous ex-hockey player that Will is such a fan of that your avatar on your texting is... I didn't know who he is. I didn't tell. Even Sean... He gets golf balls with just the 19 on them because that was Wendell's number.
8:1417. 17. JB, last year for my birthday, very sweetly got Wendell to make me a video and then sent me some signed stuff, and that blew me away. Cameo. Cameo? Not even a cameo. No, no, no. He got in touch with them, and it was very sweet. So anyway, I saw him in an elevator. I said I didn't expect that this was how it was going to happen, but I met him in an elevator, and it was just unbelievable. And I got a coach. Well, coach, fuck. I just stood there like a dink. They said, what do you want to do, coach? I'm like, who wants to hear from a stupid actor? What are you talking about? I'm just here to...
8:43Yeah, were you down in, like, the locker room having to give, like, a rah-rah speech? Yeah, I gave a speech. So I gave a speech. And so what I did was... So who? Who was on your team? Connor McDavid, Leon Dreisaitl. We had David Pasternak from the Bruins. I had Brody Jenner from... We had fucking Connor Hellebuck, the greatest goalie in the league right now. And for a pregame speech, Peter LaViolette, the Hall of Fame coach, was next to me, and I said, let me give the speech. and I put together from a different sport all great quotes I strung together from Jurgen Klopp, my guy at Liverpool. And I made a speech about it and it was like, it literally, it was ridiculous.
9:18I think I lost him at the end when I said, when I first came to Dortmund, and they're like, what? Dortmund? Anyway, it was fantastic. We had a great time and I don't want to spend too much time, but it was so cool. Did Wendell Clark knew who you are? Yeah, he did actually. I will say that. And his wife saw that I was like, and she nudged him because he didn't see me at first. and then it was sick. And then I got to say to my dad, we walked down, I said, and I see Wayne Gretzky and I said, Wayne, have you ever met my dad? He's like, no. And my dad was like, it was unbelievable. That's crazy that Wayne Gretzky was.
9:46The whole weekend. That's the, the little guy makes good. He comes back home and. It's funny you say that. So the last thing I'll say is, so Abel, you guys know, my 13 year old, he says to me the other night and he goes, look, I'm going to check and make sure he's doing his homework. And he goes, dad, I'm really proud of you. I said, and I go, what do you mean? I go, what are you talking about? We hadn't been talking about it. He goes, well, probably the little kid version of you didn't think that you'd ever be there at the All-Star Game doing what you did. And he goes, I don't know if it's weird for a son to be proud of his dad, but I'm really proud of you.
10:16Dude, that's amazing. And then he came up and he gave me a hug and he kissed me on the head. It was so sweet. Oh, God, you must have fucking fallen apart. He's such a sweet kid. And I did fall apart. You big softie. That's very like old soul of him to say. Yeah, Very old soul. I'm going to cry too, so I'm going to stop. I love that. Really lucky. Now, they weren't there with you, were they? They couldn't. No, just because of school. It was too many days away from school, and they're in middle school and high school. But you filled them in. Oh, my God. I FaceTimed Abe from the bench as the game was going on.
10:46And I was just like, I can't hear you. Are they hockey fans, Will? Ish. Not as much because they grew up in California. But, yeah. Anyway, we've taken up so much time of our guests, and our guest doesn't deserve to have me ramble on. Pretty awesome, though. I bet you the guest is crying right now. They need a little time to get it together. I don't, I don't, but I don't know. But this person. That's pretty cool, Will. Yeah, thanks. Yeah, it was once in a lifetime and it was extraordinary. And speaking of extraordinary, you know I love my segues. Yes, beautiful. We're talking extraordinary talent because our guest, she is an absolutely extraordinary artist, actor, filmmaker.
11:24She'd been nominated for an Academy Award. She's won 22 Critics Awards. Jeez, that's it. Oh, yeah, Golden Globes, all of it. She's the first American ever to be awarded a César Award, you know, the French Oscars. Appreciate the pronunciation on that. Yeah, thank you. César, oui, César. César. For the clouds of silver. To coffee. I take one cigarette, I wait, I meet up with my lover. coffee uh and uh she she's just been in some of the biggest films of all time uh she's been in in one of the hugest franchises ever at a very young age and took her through her 20s i i would imagine i can't believe that she's only i think 33 it's hard to imagine because she's done so much extraordinary work and uh she's about to start uh she's going to be in her new film which is uh which is being released around the time that we're doing...
12:25Good research. Good for you. I know, I know. I'm sure the studio's thrilled right now as you're reaching for the date. I know, I know, but... She's got a great laugh. We know that much. She's dying to appear. I'm literally trying to think... I bet she's got the date. Why don't you introduce her, you num nut? No, they gave me the date that I want to get, but the trailers look so amazing. Love Lies Bleeding. It looks so amazing from A24. Anyway, guys, it's Kristen Stewart. Oh, wow! Kristen Stewart! Woo! Guys. Can you believe this? Mr. Stewart. What are you doing saying yes to this podcast? What a nice person.
12:57What are you doing with a bunch of ding-dongs like us? Fire your publicist. I know. Portrait sitting through our torture. I know. I'm so sorry to put you through that. Hi. Hey. Hi. How's it going? My heart is pounding now. I don't know if it's like the initial conversation about your shitty heart, but mine is not like. Mine's pretty shitty. Well, because listening is interesting. You sit around and listen to the podcast, and you forget you have to go on it because it's like fun to listen to you guys and then you're like, oh no. It's not that great. It only gets great when the guest comes on. Yeah, welcome, Kristen Stewart.
13:27So nice to meet you. Thank you for doing this. Oh, does she have a coffee drink, Kristen Stewart? Oh, yeah. Oh, what kind of coffee is it? Is it a shake? Is it a cup that's cute too? Is it green? No. No, there's little flowers on this cup. Oh, they're cute. You know what I was thinking about this, Kristen, walk us through your coffee routine in the morning, if you will, real quick. What's your go-to? I'm so into the start of this. Yeah, great. Don't worry, it's not hard hitting at all. It's a bunch of garbage. No, coffee is like only something that I kind of recently got into. I never used to have any morning beverages.
13:59I just would barrel through and then I realized how fun it was. Oh, yeah. A little stimuli. So do you wake up and go immediately downstairs or wherever into the kitchen and make coffee? Or do you have a gap? And what kind of coffee do you make? I am very interested in this process. So for a while, I would, like, try and make espresso, but I'm not good at it. All of my pulls are watery and weird. Yeah. First thing in the morning, too, you don't have skills. I'm kind of a bing out of bed. Like, I need to be quiet in order to not kind of, like, infuriate my family. What do you mean? Oh, really? Because when you wake up, you're ready to go.
14:36Yeah. Yeah, I can wake up having, like, a full conversation. Be like, oh, hey, what's up? What have you been doing? What have you been thinking about? Oh, wait. I'm similar. Oh, my God. My wife's exactly like that. Kristen, I'm like that, too. I'm very much like that. Not like that. Well, Sean, let's not get into your sleep hygiene. It's a fucking disaster. It's worse than your heart. You got to get out of your bed. You got to go downstairs. You got to get in your car, drive over to where Scotty lives.
14:59I've got the coffee maker that you can program the night before so you wake up and it's already a full pot of coffee. So it's grump and idiot proof. Is it just regular coffee, JB? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So I got it. I don't know when, maybe two years ago, and I thought about it this morning. I said, fuck, I'm such a creature of habit. I never deviate, no matter where I am. I go downstairs, I turn on the kettle, then I fire up the Nespresso machine, and I make two, a double Nespresso, a little bit of sugar, a little bit of brown sugar, and then I pour in, so I do Americano style. Oh, yeah, I was going to say, what's the kettle for?
15:36Yeah, and then, so a little hot water. Just so it looks like country and... No, no, no, because... No, just because, I don't know, Nespresso's made it so easy. I don't know if you've tried Nespresso. I mean, instead of trying to make espresso, Nespresso should be pretty good. Bear with him. Christian is looking for a free machine. I'm not. Just indulge me. I'm not. I don't need, I got$160. Say Nespresso one more time, you'll get one. I've got$160. No, I'm not. By the way, Clooney owns part of Nespresso, I think. So, like, I'm not going to give Clooney any more dough. But, anyway, that is my process.
16:10Hi, Chris. Anyway, hi, Kristen. Let's get the guest talk, huh? I know. I know, sorry. Kristen, where are you today? I'm home. I'm in L.A. Got it. In Los Angeles? Yeah. Did you grow up out in L.A.? I did, actually. Yeah, I was poor. My first house that I ever lived in was in Topanga, at the base of Topanga. No way. On the valley side or the beach side? The valley side, obviously. Oh, really? That's literally right where I grew up. I grew up at Gary's Market there on the corner of Dumets and Topanga. Oh, my God, you freak. My house next door. Literally, my backyard, like, my fence overlooked the, like, parking lot.
16:49And I would always, like, peek through the gate and be like, I'm spying on people. That was my loop with my bike. I lived in a house between Dumets and Canoga. Or, sorry, between Topanga and Canoga on Dumets. Like, till I was 15, 16. This just sounds like a Tom Petty song. So we're Woodland Hills kids. See, the valley's not that bad. I take great pride, actually. I like being a little scumbag who literally, like, gets high off the smell of a 7-Eleven. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was an old van store. I just saw JB's face, Kristen. You just made him so happy because he used to tell stories about being in Woodland Hills with his skateboard on the bus.
17:30Right, JB? Yeah, and I live in the 7-Eleven store. I learned how to play Pac-Man, Asteroids, everything in there. I just live in there all day long. little hostess, you know, cakes. Oh, my God. What was it like growing up, Chris? Like, was it, were you like, Jay, did you have a skateboard? Did you play video games? What was, did you have siblings? All of those things. Yeah. All three of them, yeah. I would sit outside of my brother's room and watch him play video games until he would like let me enter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? Did you go to school out there? Did you go to Serenia or Parkman or Taft?
18:02This is so weird. I feel like you talk about the valley, but it's a big place, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to Serenia Elementary School and I walked there every day. That's where I went to grade school until sixth grade. Get out of here. That's so cool. Guys, guess what else? You were both child actors. What? There's something in the water out there telling you. We'll be right back.
18:25And now, back to the show. I wanted to get to this because I love, I love, because JB obviously started when, I don't know, God, you were what, seven or something, JB? Ten. Yeah. Me too. So there you go. So he always understands this, that experience. Talk, let's talk a little bit about that, JB. Let's talk about first jobs. First jobs, little house in the prairie. Did you, did you have to, did your parents drive you to like a million auditions over the hill? Yeah. And yeah. So I just grew up on the Ventura freeway, you know, lots of traffic on the way, but that's, I learned how to drive. I paid attention with freeway driving, how to, how to merge late, you know, You've got to skip the line.
19:05And then when they weren't able to drive me into the city, I'd have to get on the bus there on Ventura Boulevard, stop every single red light. It would take me an hour and a half to get in the city, but I'd have my skateboard and my little headshot in my little manila envelope, and I'd get off at like Hollywood and Highland and skateboard the rest of the way. Yeah. But it's for the passion, you know, Kristen, just the passion of the craft. From jump, you've just been a passionate young man. Was that your experience too? like you're going with your folks to audition because your parents were both worked in uh entertainment as well right yeah my mom really hooked me up because she's she was a script supervisor and so if she wasn't on a movie she would be the guy taking me around which is a total bitch it's just constant and like yeah you want you wanted it though you wanted to be an actor yeah no she was forcing me into it i was begging i was i was begging her yeah i was you will contribute to the bottom line in this house.
20:03So for Tracy, the script supervisor is the person who keeps their eye on the script, makes sure the actors say the lines correctly, helps the director and the camera department with screen direction, and if things match, et cetera. Like if you're using your left hand to pick up the glass in all the first three takes, and then the next take, you pick it up with your right hand, that's not gonna cut, so she'll say. So are you, did you grow up being incredible at continuity? Like, would you always match your action? Mm-hmm. No, I think it's sort of the opposite, where I was always like, that shit doesn't matter.
20:37Really? Yeah, I was like, if that's what you're paying attention to, then you're really not doing your job right. It's that classic. You got bigger problems, yeah. Yeah. No, I would drive her crazy. We've never worked together. Oh, you guys haven't? Oh, you haven't? Mm-mm. Huh. What'd Dad do? Wow. Stage manager. So he did, like, he did TV, which we always gave him, like, a bunch of crap for because we were pretentious movie people. So stage manager, so multicam for, like, studio audience shows? Yeah, he was, like, yeah, super into the kind of... He always told us that making movies was like watching paint dry.
21:08Oh, yeah. Because it's boring and it takes forever, and he's, like, running variety shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did he ever do any sitcoms? Would I have worked with him? Because I did a bunch of those back then. I feel like he did mainly, like, game shows, like Fear Factor, a lot of, like, award shows, and also talk shows. Like, I bet you've worked with him a lot, but like not on anything long. You know what I mean? Like you've probably been on shows that he's worked on. Are they excited for you? I mean, your success is not new. Were they excited for you? Are they, or was it just like, yeah, we're all in the business.
21:40It just kind of just happens. No, they were stoked and tripping on it. And my dad is, but both in very different ways and kind of like reflective of both of their vocations. Like I think as script supervisor, there's a department of one and that's always like a freak. my mom's like not very social and like does her own thing and is like a weird they're always my favorite people on the set though i know yeah i know me too well they're either like the best or the worst where you're just like oh she's gonna like she's a stickler she's gonna kill me or you're like that that you know yeah the keeper of yeah or you just want to impress them right right right yeah yeah with the way you match your action but you see that was perfect we only had to do it three times um they must be super thrilled with the way you've been able to transition though from being successful in childhood into a young adult and then into adult.
22:30Because as you know, it just doesn't happen that often. Yeah, it is weird. I know my mom, like, before she was nice enough to cart me all over town, she was like, do you really want to do this? Like, we have to pay all this money for headshots. And, you know, you got to pay me back if this ever works out. And I was like, I will. And I remember her, like, looking in the rear view mirror being like, okay well I believe in you but you have to believe in yourself like the most cliche cartoon version of like the start of something and I was like trust in me like a poster with a kitten saying hang in there yeah a bumper sticker but it does it works though that's great but she totally was like oh no I'm gonna watch my kid I can imagine now like school is so scary being just a little guy in the world in every way is so scary I can't imagine having a little kid and like at five years old you have to be like goodbye good for so many hours you're gonna go off on your own and we're not gonna know what's going on and you're just gonna have to figure it out like even that totally freaks me out and so the idea of my parents dealing with like me you know being like you're a bad actor and you're ugly adult pressure you don't get the job yeah yeah but also like i talk about this a lot too like you and jason have this where you're not i imagine in awe of of things that I would be in, like having not grown up and wanting to be in the business when I was older.
23:52It's like, I still am in awe. Like if I meet certain actors or celebrities or whatever, I'm just like, oh my God, I can't believe, like today, I can't believe I'm meeting Kristen Stewart. It's like crazy. It's like really cool. Where do you, were you desensitized to that? Like, for example, Panic Room, which I want to talk about. I love that movie. I've seen it 10 times. And of course, I'm so gay. When the thing was over, I was like, I tried to Google, where did they film that? I love that beautiful house. What a brownstone. Yeah. What brownstone was that? It was a set, right? I'm sure it was a set.
Read the full transcript
24:22It was like a fully functional brownstone built on a soundstage in Manhattan Beach. It was, every outlet worked. It was mind-blowing. It was like in a time where, well, I guess people do this. You just have to be like one of five men who are allowed to do it. But Fincher is one of those people. And he just built, you could have transplanted that. You could live in it. We should honestly see like where the pieces are. Let's build it. But all those walls were, they could fly all those walls, right? Because all those intricate camera moves, they had to, I would imagine, right? The whole thing was like on hydraulics, I'll bet?
24:52Yeah, I mean, I think there were like also different, we had like five actual, I mean, I don't know if it was five, but we had like different panic rooms that were detached from the whole house. And then there was one embedded in the actual house that was like totally practical. And then like, there was like, yeah, and then it was just the most elaborate playground for. Sean, that's what you call in the pantry when you run out of Snickers you call that the panic room but to my point when you first of all got the part at such a young age and then there's Jodie Foster and you guys are working together to me, again, to me I would have been like oh my god, it's Jodie Foster but having grown up in the business where you're like hey Jodie, I'm Kristen, here we go the scene goes like this were you desensitized to it?
25:38It was different, like, because I was now being spoken to. It's like, I guess I grew up on movie sets, like, eating Snickers and stuff. But I wasn't actually, like, in front of the camera and being like, hey, what's up? How's it going? What are we going to do now? Right, right. So that part was, like, it was crazy that all of a sudden I was, like, part of the process. Because I grew up hanging out with my mom on set all the time. And that's kind of why I wanted, I mean, it is why I wanted to be there and to engage with it. I can't remember if I was starstruck. Like, I wasn't, it was, I was like intimidated by just being, having to be like, okay, this is like a job and I have to be like, yeah, for sure, Jodie, let's do this.
26:15Let's rehearse. Let's block this scene. Right, right, right. But it started off being someone else. But for you, was it like kind of like how it was for me where you like had I been older and understood all the adult responsibilities of rent and taxes and all that stuff, the stakes of auditions and the stakes of performing well when it when at work would be so much higher than as as kids. We were like, oh, this is great. Fuck, I get to take the day off from school and we're just kind of like playing around. And so the stakes were lower. It was more fun. and so therefore it wasn't quite as anxiety-inducing.
26:51Yeah? Absolutely. I mean, I think I like grew into that. I think when I was, yeah, you know, when you're little and you're just like, yeah, I can do this and everyone else thinks I can. Well, my anxiety came later. How about for you? Yeah, exactly. It's not to be a weirdo, but that's definitely just comes with the hormonal surge of like, oh no, do I need to consider like having sex now? Right. And I have to consider, and you're like, well, now my life's complete, I'm debilitated. We're, life's over. But JB, what age was it, JB, that you also had the thing when you were a kid of like providing.
27:23So like doing the work was a way of right of contributing. Yeah. I mean, it was difficult because my parents were also in a position of manager in my career and also in my sister's career. And so they were being compensated for that from us as well. And so that got complicated because those monies went into, you know, rent and mortgage. And so if we're not working, that affects the bottom line for the household. But you didn't know about that. You weren't aware of that. I did. I was keenly aware of it. And it was fucking stressful because remember work permits? So what you were just saying wasn't true.
28:00You did feel like. Well, eventually. But what at the start, though, at the start, it was all kind of fun and games. But then as I kind of got into like 14, 15, 16, 17, and school got harder, and, you know, remember with work permits, you had every six months your work permit had to get renewed. And they would renew your work permit based on your grades. You had to hold at least a C average. And that's not difficult, but if you know you have to, it becomes difficult, especially when you're looking down the barrel of a midterm or a final exam where that's a huge percentage of your grade. and I know if I failed this test for some weird reason, now I get fired off the show, all those people are out of work, and we got no money coming into the house.
28:41Did you find that it was hard to keep your grades up kind of dipping in and out? Because I was really good at cheating. Because when you're on the set doing school, it's only three hours a day, it's just you and the tutor and you can kind of like hide a bunch of notes. In college, I would be, my eyes hurt from, I would be in those big lecture halls and my eyes hurt from cheating because my face would be forward, but my eyes would look at the patient. And my eyes were so much pain. Anyway, how are you? You ruined your peripheral vision from cheating. So then, Kristen, how old were you when you did the first of the Twilight films?
29:1917. 17. Yeah, on your own. And talking to the extent of, quote Jason, to the extent to which you're comfortable about, like that process of being part of something that's so such a global phenomenon and instantly kind of again you've been working since you were a kid you've been around it but now you're part of something that is so known and so like it's kind of yeah now you're famous yeah famous in a way that you can't go out and around but also like in a way that very few people experience especially at that kind of rate yeah that was and also 17 is like the most awkward age ever it's you're just now starting to be like oh i am a woman and like um yeah i think i think i always kind of like was super utilitarian about the job because my parents are a crew and i was just like yeah i love this job it's what i'm gonna do forever i'm making movies forever and it's like it's chill and then that definitely made things different yeah yeah but it was i mean we have it we have kind of like a cool insulated like when people ask me about like my high school years or like my college year, which I didn't do either of because I'm an idiot.
30:28Same. Me too. That's like the period of time that I think about. And so it's so weird because it doesn't feel like I'm referencing myself. Like I feel like talking about a different time. It's like it's hard for me to relate to that. It's like so personal. I don't see it from the outside. I'm like, well, I was going through like it's just so fucking weird to do everything personal publicly yeah it's like oh you know who I was dating you know exactly what happened right right right it's like me saying where do you live and you're like oh unfortunately everybody knows where I live like it's like are you guys asked about your first like partners right every time you do an interview about like obviously like the series comes up it's where I come from it's like oh well what about that and you're like it's crazy that people are still asking me about that first dude well yeah you know I I didn't I didn't have that and I didn't go to college either in my and i'm the dummy that has like now i want to ask who is the dude like i have no idea i don't either by the way well you know the like it's the proverbial dude like right but it seems like you all you guys in there were all like it was such a phenomenon i as i remember i apologize i have not seen them they everybody got famous really fast it must have been comforting that you guys each had each other yeah to kind of go through it with and you could kind of lean on one another?
31:48Because I seem to remember you guys all got sort of an equal level of fame and you could kind of go through it together. I would imagine that there was some sort of comfort in that. Yeah. Totally. I mean, like, we were all so different. I don't know. I think about that. I'm like, the first picture that I ever saw of myself in a newspaper was in the Post. It sounds like so old school too it's like we open the post and there you are and cover smoking weed with your dog and this is like my boyfriend's family and they're like from staten island and they're like what's going on here and i was like oh what is going on here like the movie wasn't even out yet i didn't i'd never been photographed by paparazzi in my life i was like been acting since i was 10 years old and was like what the hell and and then like we were uh i got in trouble and i was like oh, I think this is going to ruin everything.
32:42I'm so sorry. And now weed's legal and everything was fine. Right, right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I just thought that was such a big deal. Was there a moment there where you considered, like, things would be so, this was fun, but things would be so much easier if I got back to anonymity. I'm still young enough where I can go to college. I can study another career. I went through that. I was like, is this worth it? And can I sustain a level of success and income? and I can get all the way to the finish line because I got to decide. Yeah. These are the years for college. So like there was, did you go through any of that?
33:22I have to say, I felt like at the time that I could have like redirected energy and like become, become an academic. Yeah. I was so hungry for more work because like the Twilight series itself took forever like it was we did it over like a four-year period we made five movies it's probably more than four years by the way like 17 18 19 21 like those i wanted to make other movies at the same time so badly yeah um i just sort of crashed and burned and barreled my way through those years and just like was really like lacked any balance i was just like i was just working constantly Regularly focused, yeah.
34:06And you had your eyes on the end of that tunnel. When you're done with your obligation on the franchise, you could start doing other movies that were a little bit more exciting to you? Well, we all kind of, if we were able to, tried to slam one in in between. And so that was why it was kind of such a loaded period because we were either promoting one of these movies, making one of these movies, or trying to shove in something that gave you some variation. And not in terms of what it was like for other people, but just so you could do something other than play that one part for fucking six years.
34:36But then at the tail end of that, did you find yourself, like, was there sort of a moment of, like, relief or just, like, I'm sure it was a great experience. I don't mean in that sense. I just mean that, like, just the absolute kind of, you know, making five films in four years and everything that comes with that and all the exterior pressures and all the... Did you find that moment of, like, fuck, where you could just kind of exhale and kind of take a second? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I bet. And then the great news is that But you did start to make, you know, films that were, not to disparage those films at all, but films that were very, very different.
35:12And it seems a little bit more on your sort of artistic ideals and tastes, for lack of better phrases. I mean, your career is just, like, really fucking exciting. It's incredible, especially Spencer. I thought you were just incredible. I know, so, so, so good. I couldn't agree more. Unbelievable. Nice to say all that. Thanks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, truly. I mean, you're thought of as just one of our great actors, you know, and like that's like not a lot of people come out of, you know, franchises like that and then get the kind of credibility that that that you have earned. And so it's just it's just it's awesome.
35:48Well, it feels like, Kristen, like you've had kind of like three careers in such a or like four. Like you've had you've done so many different things. And now you've got this new film coming out that look like I said, I obviously haven't seen it yet. but it was just at Sundance, right? How was the reception at Sundance? It must have been awesome. It was really fun. It was cool because I hadn't done like a, I think we, what was called like a midnight screening. And I was nervous because I fall asleep in movies past 7 p.m. like no matter what. And I was like, we have to screen our movie. Like everyone's going to be sleepy and sick and like altitude sick.
36:27And like, it was just like a cesspool. Everyone's just, I was just like, Like, this is not the time to screen the movie, but it was like a real rumpus room. I just couldn't believe it. I was like, everyone is like fully engaged and like standing up and clapping during parts of the movie. I was like, this is, I haven't fucking hung out in a theater in this way in forever. Oh, wow. We'll be right back. All right, back to the show. So what do you, what's the kind of stuff that you do look for now? because you have, like, you are kind of doing lots of different kinds of films. And so as you kind of think about what's, you know, you know, the things that attract you, the things that excite you in terms of filming, like, what are the things that are out there you're like, fuck, I want to do that?
37:17Yeah.
37:21It's so hard to answer that all the time, you know what I mean? Like, especially as an actor, you're like, you know it when you see it and then you feel like a crazy person because you'll just, like, do anything to make it happen. But then before you see it, you're just sort of floating in this liminal, like, I want to want something. But we're kind of starting to, I'm really gunning. I mean, like, you know, it's not the first I've mentioned it. I've been sort of like sending out this like siren song about wanting to make this movie based on one of my favorite books. and I'm pretty sure at some point in the next week or two it's going to be something that I can say, I am doing this and we are going to make this now because we have monies to do so, but it's so hard to get monies for small movies.
38:05But this is not the film you're directing though, right? This is different from the film that you're directing? This is the one I'm trying to direct. This is the one you're trying to direct. Okay, so you have talked about it. This is Chronology of Water? Yeah. Yeah, it's been a long time. And would that be the first film that you direct? Yeah. First feature. Yeah, first feature. Oh, my God, how exciting. I was going to get to that, JB, because both of you guys, again, there's a similarity. You grew up in it, and you were around it, and your parents were in it, and your mom was a script supervisor, and you've made a load of films and done it really well.
38:34It makes sense that you would want to direct. I mean, what is the draw, Kristen? Like, are you attracted to the sort of holistic sort of four corners, you know, you've got to do it all kind of thing as opposed to just the acting lane and playing a character? Because that kind of was the draw for me, a more interface with the crew. I feel like on movies that I really love making, you get to be a part of the crew and directors that let you into that process. It doesn't always happen, but sometimes you're sort of like, we're all making this. Even though there's clearly somebody who spearheads and like obviously the perspective that's being maintained comes from a singular place.
39:21It still feels like everyone's hand is in a balanced way supporting like the weight of that. And so like as an actor, I always feel like the director's in the scene with me or at least, or I don't always, but when it's good, I feel like we've done it. I don't know, like there's an exchange and I just want to step onto the other side of it and be like, it's the same, it's not the same job. There's an element of it that's sort of like kickstarting someone's engine and I just know I will be so good at that. Like, I just know how to get people going and like, or not people, I know how to get people going.
39:52I mean, like, if you're doing anything real, it happens. And you can do that while not being on camera and I just can't wait to sort of like take care of someone and sort of set them on a path. I'm thinking about one person in particular and one movie in particular now. So I just like, I want so badly to just like preserve this path that this girl is on and I want to see what she does with all of my ideas. I want to see how she makes them better. I want to like, I just want to, I want to know how to look at things. I want to, I'm always, I'm always thinking like the camera should be in a different place.
40:25I'm like, you're not seeing this. Trust me, I know I'm not being received. Like I just, I can't wait to put something together from the very bottom to the top and just. And have a plan and communicate that plan to a team and be a motivator and just, I got you guys. Here's what we're going to do. And just maybe trust me, if you're not seeing it, you will. And like, are you like that in other parts of your life? Like, are you the one that comes up with the great idea for where we're going to throw the party or where we're going to go to dinner and who should be at the dinner, where they should sit?
40:57Like, are you a good planner like that? Type A. Yeah, I'm like a total control freak. I'm like, if I could just design everything all the time. Truly? I have to hold myself back from being like, this is what everyone should do. Yeah, but I feel like the control freak, I know you're being sort of self-effacing there, but it does kind of get a bad rap. We have to come up with a better term than control freak because it's such a pejorative when really it's like – Well, you're like a fucking rebel rouser. You're like somebody who's like, let's go, man. Like, follow me. I got an idea. You're going to love it.
41:30What's your sign? Check this out. I'm a Capricorn. Oh, yeah. Which is not great for collaboration, but I'm working on it. I recently was I was like I was hitting I was at do you guys does anyone play golf? you guys do like golf? oh my god oh hell yeah let's go Will and I have a sickness yeah yeah yeah me too but it's so I'm like fully I totally fucked up my ring finger because there's this like bump on it that I hate so much but it's not going to go anywhere fucking way what are you talking about? what are you talking about? are you serious? you're a golfer? I have made a hole in motherfucking one Kristen Stewart we're making screws today This is crazy.
42:06I've never had a hole-in-one. I hate you. I've been playing through. Jason shot a 70. It's not fair. Jason shot a 70 last week, a one under. It was. Whoa. I've never shot a par. I mean, I'm single holes, but I've never parred any course. Not even the one that I live next to, which is weird. It's like the Bermuda Triangle because I've birdied, birdied, birdied, and then just fucking shit the bed and ruined it. I'm just like, ah! Are you naturally gifted or have you studied this? Have you taken lessons? My dad taught me how to swing when I was little, and then I didn't play until a pandemic, and then I started playing all the time.
42:44That's what we did. So you're out there at public courses there? You're going to like Wilson Harding? Balboa? Yeah? Have you not? Oh, my God. Wait, what is that? She's showing us a... She's showing us the seal from the local public golf course. Yeah, the par three down the street. As a tattoo on your forearm. You are a badass. Wow, that is so... It's big, too. I really went in. Me and my friends finished up, and we had this great game, and we had a bunch of beers, and we were like, let's go. We're best friends. We'll be best friends forever. But honestly, these are my best girls. But wait a second.
43:18You got that tattoo after a few beers? Because I was literally just scouting today a tattoo place here in the East Village, and I said to the guy, I said, what are your hours? He usually goes, well, you know, you're supposed to stay up until about 2 in the morning, but you get too many drunks in here that want tattoos. And then they come back the next day, and they say, hey, can you take this off? Where's the eraser? And so I start shutting down around 7 or 8 o 'clock because you're not supposed to get a tattoo with a little buzz on. But you did. No, because it like thins your blood and you don't make, you know, choice choices.
43:46But he was a friend of a friend and he's an idiot. And so here we are. But I still like it. I don't know if I've made bad decisions at drinking. Let me think about it. Wait, Kristen, I really want to play golf with you one day. I'm going to get a hold of you and one day I'm going to take you out to... JB's out of town. Christian, you can come play with me because he's not at the club right now, but I am. Yeah, I'm a little tired from golf until October. Well, after you guys golf, Christian, I read somewhere a while ago that you like cooking. I love cooking. Then after golf, we'll cook. Sean, you can't change the fucking subject.
44:17Why not? What else are we going to talk about golf for you? Swing the ball and make the whole new ones. You've got to be playing golf tattoo, dude. You can't just hijack the conversation. Dude, you get really hungry playing golf. Yeah, you do. We could just have dinner after. That's what I'm saying. Chili burgers or whatever. Now you're speaking Sean's language. Have you just been playing the public courses, or have you gone around to all the country clubs too? I've been taken to like one or two really fancy courses. It's a completely different vibe. It is, right? Yeah. There's some good and some bad.
44:44Oh, you don't like middle-aged white guys? I like you guys. Yeah, but pervasively, I will say sort of on the whole. Yeah, that's good. Ah. Anyway, that's so cool. That's so, so, so, so, so, so cool that you do that and we can't wait to play with you. Shani, a food question? Yeah. Yes. So do you cook with butter or oil? Oh. Actually, it's very weird that you ask that because last night I made a pomodoro and I used a bunch of butter and I was like, I know you're kind of a bit of a cheat, but if you like emulsify the shit out of it and it gets all frothy and amazing and you like miss it, it was really incredible.
45:24But this morning I thought you could probably do that with olive oil and it would be just, it would be different, maybe less rich, but you still could get that frothy kind of... Right, Sean? Sean, does your chef agree? I mean, do you agree? It's all about that pasta water. But wait, why would one want to go with olive oil instead of butter? Because it's healthier or different taste? Well, it's also a little more Italian to use oil than butter. That's the thing. Because, at least in America, with the butter... Please, take a one coffee. I like the oil. But wait, are you... are you guys also taking your coffee and they also they're smoking are you one of those people because of of your self-described kind of quote control freak like you said do you cook for all your friends and like groups of people like do you like to command the kitchen yeah yeah i did thanksgiving this year oh you did by yourself how'd that go um me and my girlfriend did it like and then people brought stuff and it was so annoying because we had we were so inundated with food and And mine was, like, ours was really great.
46:27And then we had all these, like, dishes sort of muddying the waters. And I was like, what is all this bullshit? And their shitty pots and their tacky pans. Again, it's not control freak. It's Dream Maker. I think it's Dream Maker. Yeah, that's right. Did you do the turkey and everything? Yeah. I hear that's not easy. I have a, I really figured it out. You have to get it in pieces. Like, to do the whole thing is really difficult. But if you get it in different pieces and then like the neck and back, it's really gnarly to talk about meat in this way. But art like detached and get that dry brine going.
47:05And so it's like all encrusted. So you've done this before. Yeah. Wow. Now, how did you get the cooking bug? Did mom or dad cook when you were growing up? Yeah, they did a bit. I'm just like, I'm kind of a stoner and I'm just really food obsessed. So like. You get a little snacky and you want something nice. Yeah, and I like playing in the kitchen. But do you guys cook too? Yeah, well, I started baking because I started with a cheesecake. And I was like, I want because I wanted a piece of cheesecake. His cheesecake is so good, by the way. And so I'm sitting there craving a piece of cheesecake.
47:37I'm like, well, why don't I just get off my ass and make it? So I just made it. It's so good. Because the chef didn't show up yet. She usually showed up at 4 or 5. Sean's doing real well, Kristen. Do you ever make shit food like Slappy Joe's? I make Slappy Joes a lot, too. Yeah, I have, like, I'm definitely low and high. You're just making fun of the slop. No, no. Wait, you have low and high? Is that what you said? Yeah, like, I like to be fancy and also, like, you know, scuzzy. You go low and high. We have Slappy Joes scuzzy. How are you? Now, you know, Sean is in great shape. He's a beautiful man, super handsome.
48:15But he does have his little cookie pouch. Yeah. And that's from all of the fun food that he eats. Why do you have no cookie pouch, Kristen? You're talking like... I have a cookie pouch. No, no, no. Very fit. I guess what I'm getting to is you don't have like a huge workout regimen that offsets. Like you don't work out so that you can eat. I mean, I have gotten... As I've grown into a reasonable adult who's not a total shit show, I actually do exercise and like cook healthy food and try not to eat the meat. and like I've incorporated some, it's like I'm either eating Sloppy Joe's and like drinking Coors and playing Los Feliz three times a day or I am like working out constantly and like cooking me.
49:01Right, and depriving yourself yummy stuff for a week or two. Yeah. Yeah, like, or just, I don't know, I kind of like going like all in on whatever I'm going in on. So like. Me too. There's no, what is your sign for Christ's sake? Aries. In fact, I was recently at the golf course and this dude that I see all the time there who used to be an actor, he sent us a screenplay of his. He's an older man. He's really, actually, he's super hot because he's like, he drives this lime green, like hand-painted Honda and like plays guitar out the back, offers us a beer and a sock. I was like, no. A beer and a sock?
49:31But what are you doing? Yeah, he was like, you want one? Justin Theroux is there? That's crazy. And then he gave you a script and you took it? I gave him my email address. Yeah, I was like, you must send this to me. What? You're a good person. But he's cool. And he sang these songs to me and my friends about our signs. And mine was, man, what is this guy? It's totally like Google. He's on YouTube. Is he? But he sang this song called I Am, I Am, I Am the Ram. And all the verses are about, I will lead the charge. But also how completely fucking egotistical and arrogant and ridiculous and sort of like...
50:15Yeah, see, you're not going to get people like that bothering you up at the country clubs, you know? That's the thing. This is like, I prefer this. We can hang out. Exactly. But it was, like, really good. Like, he really got me, and he really, like, nailed... He really, like, nailed all my attributes. So, yeah, like, the ram thing. Yeah. I'm surprised. What's the animal for a Capricorn? A goat, maybe? See, we have these, like, annoying horn. We're like these silly little animals with big horns. Yeah. Yeah. I don't like it. All right. We're going to let you go, but what is your last meal you could have, being a foodie, if you had to call in one last meal?
50:59Is it a pizza? I think for me it would be fries and a pizza, I think. Would it be dessert? Christian, would it be like a dessert type thing, or would it be like? No, I'd go pizza over. Yeah. I like the food more. You like salt more than sugar? Primarily, I think so, yeah. But then sometimes you just get, yeah, sometimes I get a little crazy. No, yeah, I would say probably pizza. I think maybe like. So like pizza, beer, golf, and then video games. That's a perfect Christmas to our day. You just need a van and you're all set. I'm not a gamer. I wish that I was. I'm jealous of people who are into sports and video games.
51:38What's your, what's, if you're not playing golf and you're, but you're drinking beer, what are you doing if you're not playing golf? Like, are you watching shitty TV or are you? I like to play, I like to play pool and cook and golf and read and make movies and that's it. Fuck. That's it. By the way, that's plenty. That's plenty. That's pretty good too. It's a pretty solid lineup. You know what, really? Yeah, it's really good. It's really, really good. Sean, what's your last meal? Spaghetti all day long. Spaghetti? Yeah. No, like, yeah, you're fucking... And vanilla ice cream. Christ. Drinking ice cream.
52:13That really got me. That was really funny. Oh, Kristen. Kristen, we kept you way too long. You're the greatest. You know, we don't deserve your time. What a pleasure. Yeah, seriously. I'm coming after you for some golf. Don't be shocked when I show up. Thank you guys for letting me hang out. You guys just all hang out and talk for an hour, and then you put it on the internet. That's such a weird thing to do. That's all we do. I didn't do that with my friends. No, we'll talk about your movie, too. We'll say your movie again, too. We're so bad about promoting. I can't wait to have it. Did we get a date on it yet?
52:46Yeah, when is it? I actually do know this. It is coming out on March 8th. March 8th. I think. Or maybe that's the beginning. It's coming out in the beginning of March. It's a spring release, y 'all. Go see it. She's in it. She's great. It's Love Lies Bleeding. It's Kristen Stewart. The great Kristen Stewart. We don't do this often, but... Oh, that's so nice. Golf clap. Same to you. We're going to give you a golf clap. Thank you, Kristen. So nice to meet you. Thank you for today. Thanks, Kristen Stewart. You were great. You guys, thank you so much. That was really fun. Thank you. And done. And done.
53:19Well, great. The great Kristen Stewart. The great Kristen Stewart. I can't believe. I just love that. You know, she's so, there's so much. I wish I had her street cred, right? She's cool. She's cool. She's happening. She's cool. The fact that she plays golf is just such a great sort of counterbalance to that. Like, I think it gives golf a great name. You know? Because you think golf is uncool. Well, listen, it does not have a long history of being street-creddy. So you get some cool person like her playing golf, it's great for the sport. I agree. But at the same time, I will say this, like, who gives a shit?
53:56I wonder if she wants to go to the Dinah Shore golf thing. Who gives what people think? What's that, Shoney? She's going to become the new Dinah Shore golf. She's the new Dinah Shore. What we got to do is we got to convince her to come to one of these pro-ams with us. Yeah, exactly. You know, and we'll... That'd be a great get. Yeah, well, and maybe on one of our golf trips, she seems like a super fun hang. Well, the AT &T maybe gets the celebs back maybe next year. Mr. Steve John, the great Steve John. The great Steve John. We'll invite Kristen. Maybe that'll be... And then on top of that, we forget the fact that she's like Academy Award nominated Cesaro-winning actress who's done, like, she's done everything from, like, it's very, it's not rare, but it's rarefied era of being somebody who's been part of, like, massive franchises and then done all these, like, really cool art house films, you know, that have...
54:45Her co-star would be one of the few that Robert Pattinson had had a similar... Similar thing, yeah. Not fortunate, because that takes away from their talent, but the both of them were able to find some projects that facilitated that transition for them. Yeah, post that. Because Downey, you could say, but Downey came into it with a huge body of work before he started getting into the Marvel stuff. But really to start as a young actor and come out of that kind of a machine. Hunger Games, didn't Jennifer Lawrence? Jennifer Lawrence. Hunger Games? Yeah. She transitioned well. Great Jennifer Lawrence.
55:20You're right. All right. But there have been a few, but it's still rare. Yeah, you can't, it's on one hand. You should get her to play golf because, you know, so she's gonna yes there it comes get ready why does it look at the episode no no i'm not i'm just saying because you know when when god he can't he's so proud of it go ahead when golf golfers sometimes yell that thing at the golf ball right like an announcer will say like she's gonna have to get this one to blank right if she's gonna right like when they hit the ball and it's in flight, they go, oh. Bite. Bite. Bite. Bite. Bite. Okay. We will allow.
55:57Judges will allow. You think we'll allow that? Bite. Bite. No, I will say this. That particular one actually bites. Nice. Nice punch up, Willie. Bye. Bye, everybody. Smart. Nice.
