00:00I should be really angry at you two because you made me cry at the screening last night.
00:04It's okay to cry. Let's go there. So crying makes you angry?
00:07Yeah. Well, I guess it's like a cathartic cry.
00:09Sure.
00:09No one's really put me on the spot for you.
00:11Okay, but I'd love to just get a little deeper and talk about me too.
00:14Let's talk about me.
00:15You uncomfortable with your emotions?
00:17This is Joy, coming to you live in Riley's mind.
00:21Make some noise!
00:24So no justice for Bing Bong.
00:27Well, pour one out for Bing Bong.
00:28Bing Bong is always in our hearts.
00:31Rest in peace.
00:31But Bing Bong is the ultimate sacrifice.
00:34When Bing Bong died, you know, America mourned.
00:38But it has been 10 years and we all have had a lot of loss.
00:42We got to move, keep going.
00:44And that's a lot of the spirit of Pixar is, you know, you know, there's like in this sequel,
00:49we have to figure out how to keep going as a person.
00:52But you want it.
00:53You want Bing Bong avenged?
00:55Bing Bong back.
00:57Bing Bong's death and Dobby's death are hotter are two, like, really, like, knife-to-the-heart moments for me.
01:04Yeah.
01:05Life is crazy.
01:06I know.
01:07Life is crazy.
01:08I know.
01:08Why do bad things happen to good people?
01:10We were talking earlier about that was kind of the moment in all movies that really, really tugged the heart.
01:18And, um, yeah, I always hope, I always hope.
01:21But he's kind of, I don't know.
01:23He's everywhere.
01:24He's everywhere because he dissipates and he's kind of in the air.
01:26Mad or can't be.
01:27Just like Richard Connors.
01:29So maybe if you look into the pixels, if you look into the pixels of the film, maybe he's in the pixels.
01:35Maybe there's an Easter egg there, yeah.
01:36But that's the moment that broke me or us.
01:38Yeah, definitely, definitely.
01:40Well, you two were off the hook, though.
01:41Oh, that's true.
01:42This is your first four, you know what I mean?
01:43Oh, that's right.
01:44You're not responsible.
01:45You're not responsible.
01:46That's true.
01:47That's true.
01:47All right.
01:48Congratulations.
01:49You came out clean.
01:51Yes, we did.
01:52Mission accomplished.
01:53Poor Bing Bong.
01:55Yeah.
01:55I love Bing Bong.
01:57Don't we all?
01:57Yeah.
01:59There is a bit of a, there's a bit of a nod to Bing Bong.
02:01I don't know if you're paying close enough attention to check him out, but he's.
02:04A little Easter egg.
02:05He's, he's there.
02:06He's there.
02:07A little Easter egg.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Maybe my eyes were too full of tears.
02:10A little nod to him.
02:10A little nod to him.
02:12A little nod to him.
02:13I'm glad.
02:14I'm glad you did that.
02:15Yeah.
02:15I'm sure you're going to get this one a lot, but have you thought about who would you include in the next one?
02:19Well, he's got more ideas than I do.
02:22I'd like to cut the squad down.
02:24Yeah.
02:25So that there's a better paycheck, but that's me.
02:30That's just outright greed.
02:33I said I wanted, what did I say?
02:35I wanted Jon Hamm to voice competition or competitive nature.
02:39Oh, that's really good.
02:40That's a good one.
02:41That'd be a good one.
02:41Yeah.
02:42And you know what I like about this?
02:43He'd do it too.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Yeah.
02:45That dude, he's a real player.
02:47He can be thrown into anything.
02:49Was there a sense of relief?
02:50Like, oh God, people are loving this character.
02:52I'm anxiety.
02:53I am just such a huge fan of yours.
02:56That was awesome.
02:57I try not to be too much online because what I find is that the good stuff washes over you
03:03and the bad stuff hits you like darts.
03:06And so I try not to take in too much, but I often do.
03:11And I go through different periods of like being addicted to taking it in or like having
03:14space for it.
03:15But I have to say getting to be a part of something like this that is just so loved by people.
03:20Yeah.
03:21It definitely makes me feel like safe and held.
03:23And I was really worried about not doing a good enough job and like being in like the
03:28one thing that could ruin a Pixar movie.
03:30Like that's how powerful you are.
03:32You can ruin a Pixar movie.
03:34No one's ever done it before.
03:35But you can.
03:36And so I think that that moment of being like, even it was before I even finished all my
03:41work on it of people being like, that's good.
03:44We're good.
03:44You're good.
03:45Yeah.
03:46Well, good.
03:47We are just super jazzed to be here.
03:49Where can I put my stuff?
03:50You know, I try to tap into my audience member brain and I'm like, what do I want from seeing
03:55the first film?
03:56And I'm like, I want new emotions to show up.
03:59What could show up?
04:00Right.
04:00And I made a whole list of what we could do.
04:03And anxiety was on that list.
04:05And I just remember circling it very early on.
04:08I'm like, whoa, there's something here.
04:11I can really relate to that emotion, especially when I was Riley's age.
04:18And even now, and that was pre-pandemic.
04:21Wow.
04:21And then we went into the pandemic.
04:23It was already.
04:24Timing.
04:24Yeah.
04:25It was already on the rise in teenagers when I started.
04:28And when we decided that's a story worth telling.
04:31And then we all went into the pandemic and it got dialed up even more, not only in teenagers,
04:37but kind of in everybody.
04:38Yeah.
04:39I think that I might have a crush on disgust.
04:42Yeah, you should.
04:43What does that say about me?
04:44That you have eyes and a brain.
04:46Well, I love her relationship with Lance.
04:51Slash play.
04:52Slash play.
04:52Lance slash play.
04:55So good.
04:55Yeah.
04:56Talk about it.
04:57Well, I mean, why wouldn't you have a crush on her?
04:59She's smartly dressed, but she's also very, she knows what she wants.
05:04She knows what's not good enough.
05:05I mean, that woman would run your household.
05:08Yeah.
05:08Yeah.
05:08I don't know why you don't have a crush on fear.
05:10I don't know why we're not talking about fear.
05:14All right.
05:15Riley's life requires more sophisticated emotions than all of you.
05:19You can't just bottle us up.
05:23We are suppressed emotions.
05:30Because we have anxiety in this one, does that mean we meet Xanax in the next one?
05:35Stay tuned.
05:37You never know.
05:39Oh, interesting.
05:40I think, yeah, probably not.
05:42Yeah, probably not.
05:43Probably not.
05:43But we have been talking about the third and like all the different, like, you know,
05:47it feels like every 10 years you have a reset in your mind and suddenly these emotions come
05:53in and you think, wow, I never knew that I were going to be dealing with this.
05:56I think the Xanax in this world is cup of tea, comfy chair.
06:00I mean, you get that cutaway at the end.
06:02Yeah.
06:02There's so many really great ideas that I'm like, that is such a fun, clever idea.
06:07I don't know how to make it work for this particular story.
06:11Like, why do we, here's a good one, the emotion of Schadenfreude.
06:16Do you know that emotion?
06:17I don't.
06:17It's a German expression for the feeling you get in taking pleasure in someone else's pain.
06:23Huh.
06:24Schadenfreude?
06:25Yes.
06:25Yes.
06:26I learned something.
06:26So we had this German character show up, like fear, like hit his head or something and
06:31was like, ow.
06:32And then the children's point, it was like, ah, your cries of pain amuse me.
06:38Yeah, German accent, probably better than what I just did.
06:40You crushed it, actually.
06:41That was pretty good.
06:42That was better than I thought it was.
06:45It's cool to get to be a part of a character that kind of has an arc and helps in the end.
06:51You're like Vin Diesel now.
06:53Please don't say that.
06:54I like to think I'm on time.
06:57And approachable.
06:59I don't know what I'm allowed to talk about.
07:01Sorry, I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really
07:06well and mistreat people, I out them constantly.
07:10Yeah, it's awful.
07:10And it's a blast.
07:11What other emotion do you think personifies you that you think that, oh man, I would crush
07:15this one?
07:16Hunger.
07:18That's a good one.
07:19Hangry, I guess hangry.
07:21With your powers combined.
07:23Yes, really.
07:24We would rule the world.
07:25Yeah.
07:26Or at least the buffet.
07:27Hey, if intelligence were an emotion, I would choose to be intelligent.
07:35Just to kind of talk like an arrogant snot.
07:38I think Bill Maher is going to get a phone call for inside of me.
07:43Well, I hope not.
07:45We're dishing right now.
07:49Yeah, we can go through.
07:50I'm too tired and I haven't been fed lunch.
07:53So I'm just going to start throwing shade.
07:55Is this a sports movie?
07:56Yes.
07:57Yep.
07:58No, no.
07:59It should be on ESPN.
08:01It's straight up is though, right?
08:03Even the angles.
08:04Wow.
08:05Following that.
08:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:06This is the first time I'm seeing it through that lens.
08:08It's like a coming of age in the sports.
08:11It's Mighty Ducks.
08:12It's Rudy.
08:13I should say Rudy.
08:13It's essentially just Mighty Ducks.
08:14It's Rudy.
08:15It's Rudy.
08:15Yeah.
08:16I heard that you had a test audience of teenage girls to see how they responded to that.
08:22Yeah.
08:23They were really an advisory group.
08:25Yeah.
08:25And I had that idea pretty early on because I want to make sure the story that we're telling
08:32is authentic and real.
08:33Yeah.
08:33And I was a 13-year-old girl.
08:37It's been a while since I've been 13.
08:39I can try to remember that because it's kind of a memorable, you know, a memorable time
08:43in your life, but it's been a while and I was never a 13-year-old girl.
08:46I'm too gross to go anywhere ever again.
08:50Well, that's a preview of the next 10 years.
08:53I need a whole group of people.
08:54So I pitched to them.
08:55I'm like, can I have an advisory group of teenage girls?
08:58And they're like, sure.
08:59I thought I had to sell them on it, but they're like, how many do you want?
09:01I was like, oh, nine?
09:03And so they got like nine of them.
09:05It's just arbitrary.
09:06Like what sounds reasonable?
09:07Yeah.
09:07Yeah.
09:08You're going to have enough of a group that you have different opinions and diversity
09:12even within that group.
09:13And even where they're from, I go, don't grab people that are just by Pixar in the Bay Area.
09:18Like go out into the nation a little further.
09:21And so we had people from all over the country.
09:23First time I ever talked to you was for Richard Jewell.
09:27And God, your life has changed since then.
09:29That was an Emmy ago.
09:30Now you're on my favorite sketch comedy show.
09:32Now you're in the Pixar universe.
09:34Jesus.
09:34I'm spoiled.
09:36I've been thanking that dude every day.
09:37Jesus.
09:38I've been spoiled.
09:39I got the wife and two kids.
09:41I'm sober.
09:42I get to play with the Tim Robinsons and now the Pixars and the about to do Marvel thing
09:49for also for Disney.
09:51So yeah, I feel very spoiled.
09:53It's been fun.
09:53I want to play a quick game before I have it.
09:55Oh, I love games.
09:56This game is called How Many Emmy nominations does Amy Poehler have?
09:59Oh, I'm not going to do this game.
10:00Oh God, I don't know what this game either.
10:02I'm curious to see how close you're going to get.
10:05I don't know.
10:0620?
10:07I'm going to guess 24.
10:11Okay.
10:12Or $1.
10:12I'm going to guess $1.
10:15I'd like to buy a valve.
10:1826.
10:18Okay, that was close.
10:20So far you're in the lead.
10:21Congratulations.
10:22You're the closest.
10:23So you win the patio set.
10:24I figured I was just me going, whatever you said, I'm going to think you're being a little
10:29humble.
10:29I'm going to bump it.
10:30I bet you're close with a little hurt.
10:32Did that make you feel awkward?
10:34It was really fun.
10:35No, it's so nice.
10:36Very nice.
10:37And it actually made me feel a little old, but that's okay.
10:41That's fine.
10:41No, that's okay.
10:42That's why I'm grateful.
10:43I'd happily take some.
10:44If you want to just drop some off at my house, I'd happily just hold on.
10:47Okay.
10:48I'm a longtime fan.
10:49So I, you know, I knew there was a collection there.
10:51I did not know that number.
10:52And now I'll just get a tattoo.
10:54Yeah, that's pretty cool.
10:56Riley means us.
10:58Have I ever steered you wrong before?
10:59Many times.
