Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Okay, this is Jason. I'm doing a cold open. I'm real snacky. It's carbohydrates. They're crunchy. They're salty. They're not good for me, but man, it feels good. Doesn't it feel good, gang, to do a nice, crunchy, salty snack? Or do you like the gooey, sweet ones? I don't know. Maybe a combo of both is great, right? Which do you end with? What do you put in between?
I know what you put in between. You put in a nice, big, fat, well-cooked episode of Smartless. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom. Welcome to Smartless.

Fuck, the stress. You know, guys, I can't have the stress. I lost my voice, and it's just now come back a little bit. I still have a little brunt of cardio.
Are you screaming at people on set? Is it from the Knicks games, or is it just screaming at people on set again?
No, I think it was a— I want my chair over here! It was, I think it was a cold or it might have been allergies. No. I mean, yeah. By yourself? It started, yeah. It started in my throat and it went to my nose and then it landed on my vocal cords. You're a little fragile.
Jason's a little fragile. I feel like this is the first time we're meeting the real JB right now.
And I was a little frazzled getting to Mike today because that's what we call it, right? Getting to Mike. Getting to Mike. Because I wanted to have my teeth brushed for you. Do you guys brush your teeth for me? Of course, always. No, not me. You don't? Oh, look at his teeth. Did you sleep with a whitener on too long last night?
No, I went to the dentist yesterday, and he's like, I don't wipe my teeth.

It was scary.
I get checked. I have a friend of mine, and she's been giving me a lot of shit about sunscreen lately.
Are these checks that you pay for, or is it... No. You say a friend.
Like a close friend of mine.
Does she check for tics at the same time? All those tough-to-find spots?
Whoops, found another one. She just squeezes it out. Like a zit. You're covered in ticks. I found a couple leeches, too.
Am I so?
They have to remove the poison.

Chapter 4: How does Jennifer Lopez balance motherhood and her career?
Instead, she left college to pursue dance full-time, left home, and ended up sleeping in a Manhattan dance studio. Somewhere along the way, she taught Kerry Washington how to dance. I can't wait to ask her about that. Then she became the first Latina actress ever paid a million dollars for a movie role. Rita Moreno. She's briefly been on this podcast before.
It's the beautiful, multi-talented, and unstoppable Jennifer Lopez. Yes!
No way.
Willie got it. Very nice. It took you a few. No, when you said briefly, and then I remember you briefly on, yes.
I was so close with Andrea Martin. God damn it.
So close.

Chapter 6: What challenges did Jennifer Lopez face during her rise to stardom?
You can't point the camera at any— Where are you going to put them? Exactly.
Jason, where are you going to put them?
In your office there?
Or—
By the way, they're in the basement now. Will's looking behind him. He can't fit him in the whisper booth. I can't. There's not one. There's not one.
Why is it so dark in there? I know. So that his tan pops. This is my booth. But hang on a second. He's getting a nice bounce off his teeth, though. The shorts.
I know.
The shorts.
At what age do you stop wearing shorts?

Chapter 7: How does Jennifer Lopez discuss her creative process in music and acting?
You were just worried about yourself. That's right. I was always like, when's the next question about me? But, but so before we get into it, I just want to say, I realized doing all this stuff, how rare your kind of drive is, your work ethic, the ambition, the discipline you've been doing at such a high level for decades.
I mean, have you seen her documentary? That documentary is just like, I think, I think. I think I had a chance to run into you after I saw and said how much I love it. It's so impressive. I mean, not only just well-made, but the scope of it. I mean, your career is incredibly stacked.
It's incredible.
I mean, nonstop.
And this is another thing we'll talk about later, but the thing you do for women in general, whether you do it intentionally or not, I'm sure some of it is intentional, you make them feel empowered, you show them that talent and beauty and sexuality, you can have all that at any age and you're fearless about all that.
How aware of, are you aware of how much permission that gives people or are you too busy working to even think about it?
I'll say this. When I was starting out and I had just started doing like my clothing line. So I had been acting for a while and dancing and singing for a while. Had my first records out and things like that. So this is, fuck, I don't know. 20 years ago. And I was working with a few girls in my office who are like friends who I just hired, you know?
And I remember saying, like, it was getting overwhelming. And I said, I just, this is so fucking much. Why am I doing this? And she goes, Jennifer. if you can't, and I probably had just went through some breakup and fucking everything had blown up in my face again. You know what I mean? I was just like, I just don't know if I can go on.
She goes, Jennifer, if you can't do it, none of us can do it. And when she said that to me, I never forgot it.

Chapter 8: What upcoming projects is Jennifer Lopez excited about?
And I thought to myself, oh, people look at me a certain way, especially girls, like women.
Yeah, good inspiration, for sure.
And it gave me a feeling of responsibility to do things right all the time.
A responsibility you like or didn't want?
I don't mind it because I am a hard worker and I do have discipline. Like I started running track when I was, you know, eight or nine years old and I was practicing every day. Like I always had kind of like an athlete's kind of drive and work ethic. That makes sense. Yeah. And I did track for a while, gymnastics. I played softball.
Like I was very much an athlete before I fell in love with dancing. And once I fell in love with dancing, sports went out the window.
Right. Because it is a sport.
It is a sport. And it was just an easy transition. But also because I grew up on musicals with my mom and all of that. And I loved them so much. It was like I always wanted to sing and dance and act. But when it took its natural time... I really like left everything behind and just fell in love with that.
But that really made me feel that that exchange stayed with me even all these years later, because it just made me feel like, like, don't fuck it up, like do the right things. People are watching you for whatever reason, maybe because I was, you know, Puerto Rican and from the Bronx and came from there. similar places where all these people come from.
