What are Amanda Peet's thoughts on stage fright?
Hey, everybody. Hey. Oh, my goodness. Are we in a good mood today? We are. I mean. You were shot out of a cannon. I was shot out of a cannon. Yeah.
I'm all fired up. We get to do some potting today.
Yeah. And I'm so excited you two are here for this.
You're going to have such a hoot. What we'll do is that little foam thingy in front of your mouth, you just speak into that. We're going to have somebody of interest coming on soon.
You're going to be able to ask any questions that you might have.
And they should respond in a somewhat informative way.
Nobody's left. Nobody's going to listen.
You think they've turned the dial?
Well, then let's hurry up and get the guest out here. Come on. Welcome to Smart List.
What is that from? Oh, well. Hi.
Hi.
That's like a— It's all new smart list. Oh, my. Jesus Christ. Isn't that a— Don't they use that in sports things?
Yeah. Hey, Sean. Yeah. Are you doing an ad for All-American Guy? You just took a big gulp of milk, and now you took a bite of an apple. Yeah, I just got back. What happened? You ran out of Pop-Tarts?
Oh, my God. Dude, hit the horn again. There you go.
Hey, did Archie give you that app or something? Is that next to the fart one?
No, man. I've had it for a long time, embarrassingly enough.
Did I tell you somebody gave me a box of Pop-Tarts outside the stage door? Did they really? Yeah. It was the greatest gift. What a crowd. There was a bow around it. And I was like, that was the nicest gift ever.
Did security tackle them?
No. Remember when we went on tour and somebody handed me a sandwich and I ate it?
I think I kind of do.
I remember that. We got in the car. You're like, why would you ever eat a sandwich from somebody off the street?
You're trying to get me to remember the time that you ate a sandwich? No. No. No? No. It can kind of heighten it if it's dragged across the finish line. Needs a little punch. I know. By the way, it should be noted. I texted JB. I'm going to embarrass him. The boys and I, R.J. and I watched that first episode of DTS St.
Louis.
He's so good. Wait, listen to this. Jason, you're so good at playing a simp. Go ahead, Sean.
I mean, I just... I almost, Jay, it's like one of those incredible, powerful performances that I felt like when I saw Willie do his movie too, where I'm looking at you right now, I've known you for 75,000 years, and I don't, I don't know who you are. Like, it was so unbelievably a different person that I did not believe I was watching you.
Sean, you finished it last night. I finished the whole series.
Yeah, last night. How do you have them all? I gave them mine. We finished the first episode, and I turned to the boys, and I literally looked at them, and I go, how many episodes away are we from Jason getting pegged?
LAUGHTER
I mean, that's pretty close.
I could go on and on.
I know, it's so good.
I was in tears at the end because I was so proud of my friend Jason.
It's really, really good. Everybody's great. Linda Cardellini is amazing. David Harbour, really great. David Harbour's great. Everybody's great. I'm not comparing anybody, but Jason, you are so good in this part, honestly. I really appreciate it. And it's so, I mean, were you... And it's not surprising. It should be noted, too, because you know when people go... you were really good.
How did Amanda Peet get her start in acting?
Always hurts.
But I texted Jason last night about like what a huge swing it was to do this. I mean, Will, wait until you see.
Don't say it in another word. I knew a new one came out last night and I couldn't watch last night.
But it's this guy, Steve Conrad, this writer, director. We'll leave the subject. Sorry, listener. But this guy, Steve Conrad, this writer, director, he's just so creative. Like daring and- Yeah, daring. But like without being obnoxiously like, oh, look how avant-garde and, you know, it's like, it's so- It serves the characters. It's so relatable that it makes it absolutely almost impossible to watch because it's so cringy and real and awkward.
And so much so, I woke up today, I started doing just regular whatever tasks, thinking about DTF St. Louis and these characters. And I'm like- Were you sitting on Scotty's face?
