Hi, Sean. No, you're Scotty. Oh. Hi, Scotty. How are you today? I was wondering if you would stick around and listen to SmartList. Welcome to SmartList.
That was very good.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
Hi. Hi.
Great.
Sean, you all packed? I was just going to say, I just finished packing. I hate packing.
Wait, Sean, yes. You're going to England?
I'm going to England. Yes, the United Kingdom. Yes.
What else? To work on a fantastic new project. Do you want to talk about it?
No. I mean, it's a little fun cameo in a movie called The Running Man.
with our friend Edgar Wright is directing.
Edgar Wright is directing. We should have him on the show, by the way.
I know, we should. I've wanted to for a while. And he's a fan. He's a big fan of the show.
I know.
He loves it.
We love him, too.
Well, he's going to be busy for a little while now, right?
Yeah, they've been shooting already for a while. For Tracy, Edgar Wright directed Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Baby Driver, tons of great movies.
Yeah.
Tons.
Yeah. Really good filmmaker. Yeah. He's a very good filmmaker. And a good guy. And a good guy.
Yeah, but I packed my sanitizer because I'm like Jason a little bit where I have the sanitizer wiped, so I wipe down the... seats before i sit down and i wipe down all of you really yeah absolutely i see don't you pass yeah like what are you talking about i would feel embarrassed that i'm making such a big like do you try to sneak that i don't know you're embarrassed this is the line i don't put music on with arrows pointing at me like look as i you know i I do it like, you know, quietly.
What about theater seats when you're at a movie theater? Do you do that as well? I wear a hoodie like this.
No, I do, but I do bring sanitizer to a movie theater. And for the armrests? Yeah, but I don't wipe the seats and I just make sure I don't touch them a lot.
You guys are what's wrong with this country. You are.
Truly. I truly mean that. I do, sincerely. And I love you both. Oh, that's the problem in this country? But, Will, don't you... See, because my brain goes immediately to... So the backrest of theater seats or plane seats, you lean against it, and then you go right to your pillow... Right? So you lean back on your pillow at home in your bed. Yeah. And then eventually you flip over onto your side or your face and your mouth's open and you're like... What are you talking about?
I don't go from the... Connection. I don't go from seeing a movie to laying down.
Well, you do eventually at the end of the night. You go home from the theater. You put on your little PJs and then you climb into bed. Yeah, but it's a lot of time for the... Germs to get away. But the germs don't die that quick. I think they last longer, don't they? I don't know.
I rely on something called my immune system. And people have been, you know, doing this and living forever.
What if you're smelling somebody's hair gel, you know?
My grandparents lived well into their 90s. My great-grandmother over 100. And they never owned a bottle of sanitizer. They didn't do any of this shit.
They should have. Yeah.
They lived long, healthy lives, and they didn't obsess about it.
I know. It's just a gross factor. I wish I could not think about it, because I don't think I'm getting sick. I just think I'm preoccupied with gross thoughts.
Yeah, I know.
I know. Any other coffee chatter, or should we get to our guests?
We should get to our guests. No, I could talk about the airplane travel thing, but no, let's go.
Okay, and I don't know if you heard it, but I did have an S on the end of that. Yes, guys, today it's a special treat. It's a two for Tuesday. Oh, wow. We didn't even have to pay extra. Yeah, yeah. We're going to double the pleasure, double the fun because we've got not just the one guest, we've got the two. And when I say two, it's kind of more like 10 because of their combined accomplishments. Oh, okay. On one side, he has sold more than 300 million records worldwide. Okay, that's 26 golds, 43 platinum, two diamond. I got to ask him what those are. Yeah, what's a diamond? He's also received six Grammys, two Oscars, a Tony, and yes, an Emmy to join the elite group of EGOT winners. He's a Kennedy Center honor. Honoré. Honoré.
