Our first guest is an Emmy-nominated actress,
a talented producer, and a mother of two.
Please welcome Jessica Biel.
Hi.
I'm so happy to see you.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I'm being a mom and doing my thing.
Being a mom of a brand new baby.
Last time we talked to Justin, he said that y'all were not
getting any sleep because of the new baby.
Is it getting better?
What's happening?
Well, it did get better.
We started to sleep train, and he was doing so great,
and then all of his teeth started to come in.
Oh no.
And now nobody is sleeping again.
But he's so cute.
And honestly, I think that's why they're
so cute, is because you just look at them, and you're like,
oh, I'm tired, but you're so cute.
I love you and I'm going to be OK with this somehow.
Yep.
That's how I feel about puppies.
But let me ask you this, sleep training
seems to be a very difficult thing.
I could not let my baby just cry.
I mean, that must just kill you.
It's so hard.
You're right.
It's so hard to let them cry even for a few minutes.
And that's the sleep training we were doing,
which is you just let them go for a couple of minutes,
and then you go in and you go, you're good, you're fine.
Phin did a beautiful job.
He did a great job.
We never really followed through with Silas in a big way
with the sleep training.
And I think it was also first child, we were nervous,
we couldn't bear the thought.
Now we're just like, yeah, yeah, you're going to be fine.
You're going to make it.
You'll be OK.
Well I guess that's true with any second child.
I'm a second child.
I know what that feels like.
So you went from one to two, and other than the teeth coming in,
is it much harder to have two?
Oh my gosh, yes.
A very wise friend of mine said, one is a lot, and two is 1,000,
and I said, oh my God, you're right.
That is exactly the way it feels.
You are just man on man defense--
one person's over here, the other person's over here.
It is a wild, crazy, fun ride.
But you have two precious little boys--
Silas, Phineas.
Great names.
I love those names.
Thanks.
Do they get along with each other?
It is so cute to see these two together,
because they both think the other one is hilarious.
And Silas, he is the performer.
He wants to make the jokes and he wants the whole attention.
He wants all the attention on him,
so Phin only has eyes for him.
And everything Silas does is hilarious,
and then anything Phin does is hilarious,
so they just laugh at each other all day long.
It's so cute.
You don't need toys.
They just have each other.
You don't have to buy them stuff.
That's right.
Yeah.
It's great.
I saw a picture of you in some bushes.
What happened?
Oh yeah.
Classic look right there.
I was retrieving that little green thing
in my hand, which was a LED little helicopter that we
were launching off our balcony.
And it was spin down, and it was headed towards the bushes.
And I have to impress my six-year-old,
so I just launched in and grabbed it.
And did you impress him?
Absolutely not.
He thought it was totally embarrassing.
And he was like, didn't even see it, you know?
That's a shame.
Well, we saw it, and we were impressed.
I saw the cutest picture of you and Justin.
How many times did you have to do this
before you got this picture?
Clearly none, because it's blurry.
I thought that was on purpose.
We're old now, Ellen, we can't do that anymore.
We had to have the camera angle so low
so it looked like we were jumping so high.
I was only like two inches off the ground.
But your knees are bent, so it really did.
That's the key, the knee bend.
I know.
Well, tWitch and I have a little thing
that he tries to get me to look like I'm jumping higher,
because he can jump higher.
You should try these jumping pictures.
Look at tWitch and Allison.
This is what tWitch and his wife--
look at that.
I mean, don't even with me with this.
I have been on this Instagram account.
I don't even know what to say about these amazing--
what is even happening here?
I know.
Isn't that crazy?
This is unfair, seriously.
I know, it really is.
We're going to edit that out.
It's not fair.
Yeah, great, cut that out immediatley.
Completely.
So Justin got his honorary doctorate not too long ago.
Does he demand that you call him Dr. Timberlake?
When he really wants to make a point at home,
he likes to say "I am a doctor, you know."
Yeah, so I hear that every now and again.
You've got to have bragging rights
when you get a doctorate.
So I'm excited to talk to you about "Cruel
Summer," because you do really great dark projects.
Because I like "The Sinner," and now you have "Cruel Summer."
You must love "Dateline" and all those shows.
I do.
I love a "Dateline."
I love any podcast that's true crime, any show that's
true crime.
I'm just so interested in human behavior,
and why people do the things that they do.
And how any normal person can be put in a situation,
in a really strange situation, and then
what's going to happen?
Yeah.
I just think it's so fascinating.
Well, "Cruel Summer," it's got me hooked,
and I can't wait to talk to-- we're
going to meet one of your stars right after this commercial,
and we'll talk about "Cruel Summer."
We'll be right back.
