One of the benefits of working with Disney to create
our modern art gallery done with all the art done
by children. One of the great perks is that we've
been working with Disney to put this on. It's been
a lot of fun and it also means. One of
the perks of working with Disney for the release of
Disney and Pixars Inside Out two, which goes in cineym's
June thirteen is we had to sit down chat with
(00:24):
Amy Poehla, who plays Joy in Inside Out.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Pretty much buds now, there's no doubt about it. Us
and the poll as I refer to her now around
the office. No, sir, I've never got her that, but
we aren't tied, even though when we did interview her
earlier today. I'm going to say this started in the
most awkward fashion ever because of I requested.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Well, you requested something, which was horrific. But even before then,
you and I rocked up to interview Amy today and
we realized we were wearing exactly the same thing.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Have listen to this now, Amy.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
One of the new emotions in the new film is anxiety,
and if I'm being honest, I am feeling a little
bit anxious right now. You and I know in your
book you said that if you can dance and be
free and not be embarrassed, then you.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Can rule the world.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
So should we dance?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I feel like we should dance.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Okay, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Can Can you dance with me?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yes? With no music? This isn't this isn't anxiety inducing
it all.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I feel like we're in a cave as well, because.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I like that this feels totally natural.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
It's weird the two men who address the same and
I are really closely dancing mouth.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
We are going to rule the world.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
On that.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
My anxiety is gone.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Don't you feel when you shake it up?
Speaker 6 (01:56):
When you shake For some people, dancing is the biggest nightmare.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
But for me, if you shake it.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Up, yeah, you always feel better for it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Actually that was very awkward, but I feel great it was.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I mean, it can only go uphill from there, right.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I mean, I want to talk to you about I
know that you've got two little boys who are kind
of like teenagers, are on the customing a teenager, and
obviously the movie is about Riley becoming a teenager, and
I want to ask you specifically obviously being a woman
as a teenager. You know what that's like, and that's
what the movie's about. But now you've got two little
boys who are teenagers and any kind of like differences
you say between them, and if you think one sort
(02:31):
of easier than the.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Other, well, because they're teens, I'm gonna not talk about
them because they'll hate.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
That I'm talking about them. Of course that's what teens do.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
But what I like about the movie is there's this
universal feeling and theme that we can relate to. I
can still relate to it my age, which is you
cross over the threshold and you go from kind of
living joyously to realizing people are looking at you, and
then you don't want to disappoint your friends, like you
have stress about are you going to make the team?
(03:03):
All of a sudden, life gets really weird.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
You're finding that hard to parent because I have, you know, I.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Think that the one thing I try to do, and
I think Pixtar does it as well as you have
to kind of treat young people's feelings, you know, as
very valid, kind of dismiss people young people especially and
say like, don't worry. There's a really great moment in
the film where Joy says like, just don't worry, worry
about it, you know, and we do that all the
(03:28):
time to young people, but there's a lot to worry about.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's been a wild well.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I think we've had it really hard. We've both got
daughters and they're very young, and you know, just the
idea of this black hole of being a teenager is
so scary for both of us because everyone's just like,
you're gonna lose them for a long you don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:44):
I've found every for me anyway, every every section of
parenting has been like a short story. And you start
the story and you start.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It and you're like, I don't know about this.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Then in the middle you think this is the best,
best phase yet, and then it's over and you think, oh,
the next story cannot be as good, and it is.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
It always goes so much faster than you think.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
All the better.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Mine's twenty months old.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Two.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Oh yeah, you're in the thick of it.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Then, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
This is why you're wearing shorts. You have to be ready.
She just left and carry there's so much carrying and they.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Move as soon as they start locomoting. It gets very strong.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, they're just always about to fall down stairs.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, constantly, We're constantly about to fall somewhere.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
So differently now, Yeah, there's no longer hour in the
day than right before bedtime.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It's the long Oh my god, you're most tired.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Totally, totally, never true. Said.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
She's a smart woman, she's a sooth sayer, she's brilliant,
she's funny, she's Amy Poehler.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
And right up next, I'm going to ask her about
the time that she absolutely butchered her incounter with the
One and Only Prints.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I mean, I wouldn't mind if we could the movies
all of that being inside Riley's mind and seeing how
her emotions deal with certain situations. There have been a
number of situations in your life, and I'm just intrigued
to hear what was going on in your brain at
the time or what emotions were coming forth.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Very good.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
First one meeting Prince.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Oh fight, flight or freeze.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
So what happened when I met Prince is he was
doing a sound check at SNL. So he came towards
me like a dream, and so I asked him, how
was your summer?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
That's what I asked him. That was my one chance
to meet prince.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
So I guess it's blowing.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
It could be an emotion. It would mean a sadness.
I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Had some had just been, had some had just been
like it was?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
It?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Was it a relative question or are you kind of
in the depth.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
I don't even remember what season it was, no idea,
that's awesome. I just tried to just, yeah, just reach
out to him like the shooting Star.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
We also read that you were known as handcuff Girl
in high school. What emotion were going through?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Well, let me do it, yes, please, thank you, which
is when I was young, a friend of mine brought
a pair of handcuffs into school and put them on
and then.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
We lost the key.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
That emotion was uh, excitement because everyone was paying attention
to us. And I don't know if you remember that
feeling when you're little and there's like a low stake
situation where you know you're eventually going to get out
of handcuffs, but you're kind of a celebrity for that moment.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, that was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah that sounds huge.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
On the map.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
Yeah yeah, I mean we were close to getting a
local story in the paper.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
We didn't fail. It's you could you could have.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Your mom was a teacher at the school.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Yeah, my mom. Both my parents were public school teachers. Yeah,
I mean probably good good news. Bad news.
Speaker 6 (06:57):
Good news is your daughter is out of handcuffs.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
She was in them.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
She chained us alf to another student.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
And one more here.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
This was after an Emmy's Awards ceremony and.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
It involves John Hamm.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well what story.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Oh, there are lots of stories with John. This one
was dancing on a table.
Speaker 6 (07:18):
Yes, we used to have this party called the Loser's Lounge.
Only people who lost the Emmys were invited, and if
you won, you were not allowed to come in unless
you gave a heavy donation to charity. And I'm proud
to say that we stopped Julia Louis Dreyfus at the door.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And wow, he said pay or leave, and.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
She did because that's the kind of winner she is.
She's such a winner.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
She wanted to come to the losers.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
So Ham and I have lost many times together, so
we we. And there was one party I think where
I broke my foot or my toe dancing, I forget,
probably his fault, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, So but we.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Ay final thing we heard that you try and learn
a new skill every month.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yes, we also heard that you haven't got one for June.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
I don't okay any suggestion.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I've got one for you. Okay, you just have to
follow me, okay, okay, okay. Think of a number. This
is something that you can use in other people as well. Okay.
Think of a number between one and ten. Multiply it
by nine, okay. Okay. Then add the digits of that
number together. Okay, okay, Now subtract five. Now think of
a country. So if A is one, B is two,
(08:32):
C is three, d's four, this is going nowhere. So
there's a letter that lines up with that number that
you've got. You've got the letter there. Think of a
country starting with that letter. Now take the last letter
of that country, okay, and think of an animal. Yeah,
and now take the last letter of that animal and
think of a fruit.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Are you thinking of kangaroos eating oranges in Denmark?
Speaker 1 (08:56):

Speaker 6 (09:14):
Yeah, I was thinking of varks eating.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well that didn't work. Then your skill definitely did not work.
So you need it. You need a new skill.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
I'm exhausted and I'm totally sweating.
Speaker 2 (09:30):

Speaker 3 (09:54):
That couldn't have gone worse. Couldn't have that couldn't have
gone worse. And now I don't think we're going to
be bud.
Speaker 2 (10:00):

I had her Eggy's on your face, Poular, because it's
your mats in the firing line there, nice and think
