What humorous anecdotes does Brian Cox share at the beginning?
You know, Will, I'd love to do a podcast with you today, but I'm a little sore about something. You know, I've noticed in the past, you know, you do like a fake countdown for stuff. And you will stop after three and you won't go all the way.
We've been through this before. We did it on a previous cold open. I don't think I've ever mentioned this to you before.
Five. It may have come up on a cold open once. Welcome to Smartless.
Now I'm, no, I'm going silent from four down. Welcome to Smart Less.
How did everybody sleep? We just saw each other 10 hours ago. Really well. Good. Oh, good. Why? Do you have a story about your sleep? Uh, no, I was good. It was okay. It was okay. Wait, did you have the mask on last night? No, I didn't sleep with the mask. Oh, you don't do the hose? No, I stopped that. It didn't really work. Don't cover your mouth when you sneeze. By myself. Just practice.
No, because then I just get my sleeve dirty. Oh, because you're going to be on camera.
It gets all over the Laura Piana, huh? Beautiful, beautiful casual for Laura Piana.
Your friends at Laura Piana sent me this beautiful jacket.
I like them, actually. I, or him, or whatever. Do you? I did take a valium to sleep like a cup. Look at him go. I don't know.
How does Brian Cox describe his experience directing his film Glenrothan?
He's sneezing. Will, did you get into the bottom of a bag last night? Are you all out? You have somebody on their way over? I don't even know. It must be the AC in this room.
Is it the AC? We got a whole junket to get through. When was the last time you guys saw Don in New York City? I tell you, it's amazing. It's just so full of promise this year. Don and his van?
Yeah.
I love going out for beers for breakfast. Oh, my God.
Sean, what did you do last night? Scotty and I... Oh, I ran the show. I have to run the line, so that took a couple hours. And then he did about a pound and a half of Sloppy Joe's. By the way, I totally had a Sloppy Joe at 10 o'clock.
That's crazy you just said that. It's not much of a stretch or a leap for me to go to Sloppy Joe. I really did have a Sloppy Joe.
Did you put it together yourself or was it left over from the kitchen help you have? It was left over. But it's funny that you say that because I remember yesterday when I was like, I'm eating lunch at 2 o'clock or 2.30. So that's why I had a sloppy joe at 10 o'clock. But then what did you have at your 2.30 late lunch? I had a fried chicken salad. You had a chicken salad? No, no, fried chicken salad. Oh, fried chicken salad.
So they took what? They took the lettuce and the chicken, they threw it all in the fryer? What happened? Everything gets fried in that scenario, even the bowl or... And then we call it tempura. So you had the fried chicken salad. Tempura salad. Right, Sean?
What challenges did Brian face while making his directorial debut?
You had the snickerdoodle at 11.30. Yeah, I did. Right, the big one. Then you kept going in and out of the bag to keep it fresh was your logic. That's exactly right.
And the fried chicken at 2.30.
So then at 2.30 you have the fried chicken salad with what did you drink? What was your beverage at that lunch? Milk with every meal. At the lunch? Yeah. At the restaurant? No, no, it was here. Did they look at you? Did they say, is there a child coming to this lunch? No. No? It was here at home. We don't offer stuff. We don't have a kid's menu. Yeah, but here are the crayons. So you have that at 2.30, and then you're trying to tell us that you have the fried chicken salad, and that you had nothing else until you had the sloppy joe. At 10.30. Yeah, that's true. No dinner. Nothing. Nothing. No snack.
Yep.
No, nothing. No candy? You didn't go buy the candy jar? The candy bowl? I don't think I did. I don't think I did is a real soft way. It's an entry into, you know, actually, what was it? Just be honest. Just a milky way. I maybe had a couple of starbursts. A couple of starbursts.
How did Brian Cox transition from acting to directing?
There we go.
So you wanted to get some plastic in there. He needs some binding. Something to bind up that sloppy Joe. Yeah, forget about rice. Wow.
Oh, man.
Anyway, what?
And you're like, I can't figure it out. I don't feel it. I'm so tired all day. I don't know why I'm going. My sleeve's fucked up. It's so weird.
