Chapter 1: What does Margot Robbie think about setting her thermostat in winter?

3.136 - 5.319 Will Arnett

You know, hey, Will, good morning. How are you today?

0

5.339 - 5.799 Jason Bateman

Oh, hey, Sean.

0

5.819 - 10.325 Will Arnett

Yeah, good morning. I'm good, too. I set my thermostat, even though it's winter.

0

10.345 - 10.725 Jason Bateman

Oh, my God.

0

10.785 - 23.721 Will Arnett

Hang on. Fucking let me sit down for this. Okay, go ahead. I set my thermostat to put the air conditioning on because everybody in my building in New York has the heat on. So at night, I'm asleep with the air conditioning on. Isn't that kind of dumb?

24.121 - 31.27 Jason Bateman

No, it's not dumb. I'm just trying to think of a synonym right now. Oh, you know what? It's smartless. Oh. Welcome to smartless. Smartless.

48.614 - 49.597 Unknown

So, Sean.

50.278 - 57.156 Will Arnett

Hey. Yeah, you know, now. I just, I'm just happy to be here. Shut up. This is like incredible.

57.196 - 61.588 Jason Bateman

This is amazing. Jason, don't talk to him like that. Hang on. Sean, shut up.

Chapter 2: How did Margot Robbie's love for hockey start?

61.909 - 68.776 Unknown

Yeah. Sean, you're on Eastern Time, so he's more cups of coffee into his day than we are.

0

68.916 - 83.853 Jason Bateman

Sean, he never lets it show. He works his freaking tail off. He's there in rehearsal doing this play, and then he just shows up, and he doesn't complain. Do you ever notice that? Well, live with me. Let me ask Crankerville.

0

83.893 - 88.82 Sean Hayes

Crankerville, do you notice... I've never heard you complain about anything. He doesn't, right?

0

89.281 - 90.082 Will Arnett

I do. I kind of do.

0

93.208 - 95.672 Jason Bateman

Scotty's like, all he does is complain.

95.953 - 100.04 Will Arnett

Scotty's listening in that way.

100.1 - 103.787 Unknown

So wait, is Scotty always on the extra set of cans?

103.827 - 106.752 Will Arnett

Not always, but a lot of times he listens just for fun. I love it.

106.732 - 115.169 Unknown

Now, Sean, I got a full night of Willie's new look last night.

Chapter 3: What was Margot's experience auditioning for The Wolf of Wall Street?

224.835 - 247.431 Jason Bateman

And Amanda was like, it's kind of like having sex with a stranger. And she said, kind of with glee. With some tweaker you give a ride to. We're right home from it. That's hilarious. She was a little too excited about last night. A little change of pace never hurts. But we miss you, Sean. It was the first time. I know. What, did you guys get together last night? Yeah, we did Sunday dinner.

0

247.451 - 272.748 Jason Bateman

Oh, man. It was the first time in a while for me. And it was so great seeing everybody and seeing this guy. Did Carolyn go? The love of my life. No, she was, something came up. It's not working out, Sean. It's not working out. We're making news today, guys. No, no, no. We are not making news. That's not true. Something came up. And then we had Danny and Dawn Dees, which was great seeing them.

0

272.768 - 274.371 Will Arnett

I just heard from Dawn. Yeah, she's great.

0

274.351 - 284.309 Jason Bateman

Willie Speck. Oh, man. Jimmy Hedge. The whole crew. Jimmy Hedge. And we saw Sweet Richard. Sweet Little Maple.

0

284.87 - 286.172 Sean Hayes

Oh, Richard and Jenny.

286.233 - 287.154 Jason Bateman

And Richard and Jenny.

287.355 - 289.038 Will Arnett

But Jennifer Aniston wasn't there, was she?

289.078 - 290.641 Sean Hayes

Oh, you know it, girl.

290.721 - 295.433 Unknown

Yo, you know it. She was frying up some, what did we have last night?

Chapter 4: How did Margot Robbie improvise a slap on Leonardo DiCaprio?

316.599 - 320.726 Unknown

God, everybody was there. It was fun. You guys were missed. You and Scotty.

0

320.746 - 321.347 Jason Bateman

Oh, that's very nice.

0

321.507 - 328.959 Unknown

Sorely missed. Sorely, sorely missed. Any way you can get a vicious stomach virus and get fired off that play? I think about it all the time.

0

329.339 - 336.082 Will Arnett

You know, yesterday was the big, big, big snowstorm. Massive. So we canceled. We had to cancel rehearsal.

0

336.544 - 339.798 Unknown

Is this you guys rehearsing out in a park?

340.1 - 340.2

Yeah.

343.927 - 348.854 Unknown

I mean, little excuse, let's take a day off.

348.874 - 368.28 Will Arnett

Yeah, we're doing, it's outside. It's in Central Park outside. No, I said, so it was rehearsal because you couldn't drive or go anywhere in the streets or whatever. So anyway, so they canceled and I said, but I still wanted to run the show. So it's like fresh in my head, you know? So I said, Scotty, there's a performance in the bedroom tonight. It starts at 7 p.m. There's one ticket.

368.26 - 381.65 Will Arnett

because there's one chair in the bedroom. I said, you can, there's a bathroom. There's no intermission, but there's a bathroom right next to the chair. And if you want to fall asleep during the performance, there's a bed. Jesus, I'm getting a hard on. Tell me more about it. What a sell on this play.

Chapter 5: What challenges did Margot face when transitioning to Hollywood?

428.572 - 440.447 Will Arnett

producers and the people doing behind the scenes stuff. So it was like 20 people, which is a lot of people after you've been rehearsing by yourself. And so I walked in and I started laughing. I'm like, I can't do this. This is insane.

0

440.467 - 455.085 Unknown

They all start panicking. Now, I think we talked about this before, but forgive my old man brain. I've forgotten. Do you have some sort of a net, some sort of a fail safe? Like if I go up, so somebody just off stage?

0

455.065 - 460.693 Will Arnett

Yeah, well, for previews, which are two weeks, there'll be somebody in the front row on book.

0

460.993 - 472.609 Unknown

Front row? You can't look to the audience for the line. No, but you can just say line or whatever. Really? And the person in the front row, like there's going to be a person in the front row with a script in their hands. This is correct.

0

472.829 - 476.314 Jason Bateman

When you say person, you mean Scotty, obviously. Yeah.

476.598 - 485.468 Unknown

Isn't that going to be distracting for the people around this person that this person's snapping script pages? What are you going to do? I'll tell you what you're going to do. You put somebody off fucking offstage in the wings.

485.488 - 489.232 Jason Bateman

Well, that's for the show. Don't tell them how to do it.

489.292 - 491.414 Unknown

But you're selling tickets for the preview.

491.434 - 501.025 Jason Bateman

That's correct. That's correct. I don't get that. Because they get to see how the sausage is made. It should be a discounted ticket then because Sean has never shit together yet. What are you, an advocacy group? It is discounted.

Chapter 6: How did Margot Robbie's production company come to be?

557.001 - 576.429 Jason Bateman

Did you get a deal on him? I told you that thing when I auditioned for David Chase for The Sopranos and I had one line and I got the silver cup and George Ann Watkins, the casting director, I go and she goes, I know you're going to meet him, but he wants everybody to say one line. I was like, one line? How am I going to, you know, and a bunch of actors out there for it. This is like 2001 or two.

0

577.01 - 595.809 Jason Bateman

Anyway, I go out there. I go into the room with David Chase, George Ann Watkins in there. And I've got this piece of paper with the one line on it. She goes, you ready to start? I go, yeah. And he's just watching me deliver it to her. And I look at her and I just go, line. And he burst out laughing and I got the job.

0

597.711 - 608.761 Jason Bateman

Not a comedy, but I think he was so, he was like, this motherfucker just came in here. Was this for Sopranos? Sopranos, yeah. You were on the Sopranos? Yeah, I know. That's what a lot of people say. Wait, come on, really? I didn't know that.

0

609.201 - 611.483 Unknown

Can you believe I still have not watched that show?

0

611.463 - 615.832 Jason Bateman

I haven't either. It's real good. It's real good. It's going to be a hit, I hear.

615.892 - 617.215 Unknown

All right, come on. Here we go.

617.475 - 618.397 Jason Bateman

Let's get to our guest.

618.417 - 641.693 Unknown

I mean, she's probably left or asleep by now. Here we come. Wait a second. Let me pull up the notes. Here we go. Here we go. Guys. Yes. Today, we have an actor that I met once very briefly and was as knocked out by her charm and warmth as you would think that you would be. She's one of our biggest stars, an incredibly successful producer.

642.094 - 656.471 Unknown

She kills it in both comedy and drama, big films and small. She has box office success as well as critical praise. Her nominations are numerous, including two for an Academy Award. She knows how to hold her breath for five minutes. What? She's a trained pickpocket.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the Barbie movie in Margot's career?

688.212 - 692.559 Margot Robbie

We try to keep it tight. No, I love that. That was my favorite part. Yeah, I love the Rangers. I love the Rangers.

0

692.699 - 695.824 Unknown

Have you guys seen each other out there at the garden? No.

0

695.804 - 702.28 Jason Bateman

No? I've seen you there. Yeah, I'm incognito. Short for incognito.

0

702.661 - 724.798 Margot Robbie

I have to say, before we keep talking about hockey, which I hope we do, Will, I have to say, I fucking loved Is This Thing On? Isn't that good? You are so good. So good in it. And I swear to God, as soon as I finished watching it, the first thing I said, I was like, give the man an Oscar. You were so unreal in it. Thank you.

0

725.238 - 726.639 Jason Bateman

That's very kind of you. Thank you so much.

726.659 - 731.063 Unknown

And now let's have your review on this look, this new look. Are you in love with it as I am?

731.424 - 736.768 Margot Robbie

Honestly, quite the reveal when I whipped off the piece of paper from the screen just then. You look great.

737.029 - 739.991 Unknown

Thank you. You look tan as well.

740.011 - 740.812 Margot Robbie

Have you been on holiday?

Chapter 8: What are Margot Robbie's thoughts on her upcoming film Wuthering Heights?

814.464 - 819.67 Unknown

Now, was this before or after the skating training for I, Tonya?

0

820.122 - 838.892 Margot Robbie

Well before. It would have been very helpful if this came after that, but no, it was well before. So I hadn't really skated before. I had like here and there, like, you know, I don't know, just a few times maybe in my life, but not really. And I kind of, I think I just thought, oh, I'll just run. And there's so much padding that honestly it was fine.

0

838.912 - 851.11 Margot Robbie

But I played in a co-ed team and there was only one other girl on the team. But you know, when you're in all your gear, you can't really tell, That you're a girl? You know, like, I just looked like a very small guy.

0

851.13 - 852.671 Jason Bateman

I had a problem with that one Saturday night.

0

853.272 - 854.493 Margot Robbie

Go ahead.

854.574 - 857.257 Jason Bateman

Hey, man, you need a ride?

857.277 - 864.745 Margot Robbie

Yeah, so I just looked like a small dude on the team. So I'd get picked on. They would check me so hard.

864.765 - 869.19 Jason Bateman

But yeah, it was a good time. That's pretty ballsy.

869.21 - 873.315 Margot Robbie

And then I'd take off the helmet at the end of the game. They'd be like, oh, shit, sorry, I didn't know you were a girl.
