♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK.
>> THANK YOU.
SORRY, THIS IS MY FIRST LIVE AUDIENCE.
>> Stephen: OH, YEAH!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> WOW!
>> Stephen: MAKES A DIFFERENCE, DOESN'T IT?
>> OH, IT'S NICE.
IT'S REALLY NICE.
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK TO THAT, TOO.
>> HEY, HOW ARE YOU.
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE WE TALKED TO EACH
OTHER.
IT'S BEEN A BUSY, STRANGE RIDE THESE LAST THREE YEARS.
BUT YOU HAD WONDERFUL NEWS IN THOSE THREE YEARS.
TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU WORKED ON.
>> A BABY.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I HAVE TWO NOW.
>> Stephen: EXCELLENT.
>> AND, ACTUALLY, THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE I WAS SECRETLY
PREGNANT.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: SECRETLY FROM YOU, TOO, OR SECRETLY FROM THE REST
OF US.
>> SECRET FROM ME, AND UNFORTUNATELY SECRET FROM MY
STYLIST, WHICH IS WHY I SPLIT MY PANTS.
>> Stephen: YOU SPLIT YOUR PANTS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE
HERE?
>> I SPLIT MY PANTS.
>> Stephen: DID I NOTICE IT?
>> MY POOR STYLIST DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON.
IT WAS THE SECOND THING I SPLIT THAT DAY.
I SPLIT MY PANTS ON THE WAY HERE.
AND I SPLIT MY ZIPPER ON THE WAY TO THE PREMIERE IN L.A.
>> Stephen: THAT'S ONE OF THE FIRST SIGNS.
YOU DON'T NEED THE LITTLE TEST.
>> NO, NO, NO.
OH, DEAR-- OH!
STAY PUT.
>> Stephen: YOUR NEW PRACTICAL IS "WE CRASHED," WHEN WE'LL GET
TO IN JUST A MOMENT.
BUT "WE CRASHED" JUST PREMIERED AT SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST, WHICH
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO.
I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO TO AUSTIN.
WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING A PROJECT DOWN THERE A WEEK AFTER
COVID SHUT DOWN.
>> LET IT OUT!
COME ON!
LET IT OUT, AUSTIN.
>> Stephen: HAD YOU SPENT MUCH TIME THERE BEFORE?
I WANT TO HIT THE FOOD TRUCKS.
I WANT TO HIT BARBECUE.
>> YES.
I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE.
THE FOOD IS AMAZING.
AND WE WERE REALLY-- EVERY MINUTE WE WEREN'T PROMOTING, WE
WERE EATING.
SO THE FIRST NIGHT WE WENT TO JUSTINE'S WHICH IS A GREAT
FRENCH RESTAURANT.
THE SECOND ONE WAS NICK'S DE TACARRIA, AND WE STOPPED BY DA
DOUI.
SORRY, GUYS, THE BISCUIT.
IT WAS A WORLD-CLASS BISCUIT.
IT WAS BEST DONUT I HAD EVER HAD, EVER.
>> Stephen: WOW.
>> AND NICK'S, THE ENTIRE MEAL WAS PHENOMENAL.
AND THE DESWRERTZ I LOVE DESSERT S.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU A GOOD DESSERTERDER?
>> NO, I'M GREAT.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE A GREAT DESSERT ORDERER?
>> I AM NOT AN INEIGHTLY.
CONFIDENT PERSON, SO PLEASE UNDERSTAND WHEN I SAY I CRUSH
ORDERING DESSERT.
>> Stephen: GIVE ME A FOR INSTANCE.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> OKAY, SO YOU KNOW HOW THEY SAY YOU HAVE TO PUT IN 10,000
HOURS TO GET GREAT AT SOMETHING.
I HAVE BLOWN PAST THAT.
I HAVE PUT IN SO MANY HOURS AT DESSERT.
AND RECENTLY, I WAS AT A DINNER PARTY-- WHICH IN AND OF ITSELF
WAS PRETTY COOL, GIVEN EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED IN
THE LAST FEW YEARS-- AND I WAS SITTING THERE NEXT TO YOUR THIS
WOMAN.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE FRIEND VIBING WITH SOMEONE, IT'S A NEW
PERSON.
I DON'T KNOW, WE WERE JUST HAVING A GREAT TIME TALKING.
AND SHE TURNED TO ME AS THE DESSERTS WERE BROUGHT OUT AND IT
WAS A PIECE OF CASE WITH GELATO ON TOP AND SET IN A SAUCE.
AND SHE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID, "DO YOU THINK IT'S CARAMEL OR
APPLE?" AND I STARED AT IT, AND I SAID
PEAR."
I WAS RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IT WAS A PEAR SAUCE?
>> IT WAS A PEAR SAUCE.
>> Stephen: YOU STAR AS REBEKAH NEUMANN, THE WIFE OF THE
COFOUNDER OF "WEWORK."
AND EXPLAIN TO THE PEOPLE WHO PERHAPS DID NOT USE "WEWORK"
WHAT "WEWORK" WAS, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT "WEWORK" UNTIL THEY SENT THE
PILOT TO ME.
AND "WEWORK" WAS A SHARED COWORKING SPACE THAT AT A
CERTAIN POINT TRIED TO TRANSITION INTO BECOMING A TECH
COMPANY, AT WHICH POINT IT HAD-- IT WAS A SUCCESSFUL SHARED
COWORKING SPACE.
AND WHEN TRIED TO PIVOT INTO TECH IT WAS INFUSED WITH $4.4
BILLION OF CASH.
>> Stephen: $4.4 BILLION.
>> BILLION DOLLARS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S LONG GREEN.
>> WHICH RAISED ITS VALUATION TO CAPITOL HILL 47 BILLION.
AND ON THE EVENING OF ITS I.P.O., GOING PUBLIC, THE
C.E.O., ADAM NEUMANN, WAS OUSTED AND THE SHARES PLUMMETED TO $8
BILLION.
>> Stephen: STILL A LOT OF MONEY, BUT THAT'S A BIG LOSS.
>> IT WAS A BIG LOSS.
>> Stephen: AND THAT'S THE CRASH.
>> AND THAT'S THE CRASH.
>> Stephen: WHAT ROLE DID REBEKAH PLAY IN THIS?
>> WELL, I THINK YOU COULD SAY THAT NONE OF IT WOULD HAVE
HAPPENED WITHOUT HER.
I DON'T THINK ADAM WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHANNEL HIS ENERGY
INTO A CAREER AND INTO A VISION WITHOUT HER.
SO I THINK YOU COULD SAY SHE WAS ONE OF THE COFOUNDERS OF
"WEWORK."
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
>> SO, OUR STORY FOLLOWS THE NEUMANNS OVER 10 YEARS, AND THIS
IS, LIKE ARNGD YEAR 10, WHERE REBEKAH, WHO LIVES IN A VERY
NICE APARTMENT, IS SPEAKING TO A CONTRACTOR ABOUT HOW HER KITCHEN
IS CLAUSTROPHOBIC.
>> IT'S THE FENG SHUI.
IT'S OFF.
>> IT'S TOTALLY OFF.
>> YOU WALK IN AND YOU JUST FEEL...
CLAUSTROPHOBIC.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> SO I JUST WANT TO GO UP, BLOW IT OUT.
FINALLY GOT SOMEONE BRAVE.
>> THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I WALKED IN, OPEN IT UP.
>> THAT'S WHAT IT NEEDS.
>> RISE AND GRIND!
RISE AND GRIND!
YES!
>> FEEL FREE TO LOOK AROUND.
I IMAGINE YOU NEED MEASUREMENTS, ET CETERA.
YES, MY LOVE.
>> I'LL MEET YOU IN THE CAR.
>> OKAY, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE READY?
>> YYES.
>> MY LOVE, YOU'RE NOT WEARING A SHIRT.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: NOW THAT-- FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW-- >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, THANK
YOU.
>> Stephen: THAT, ADAM NEUMANN THERE, IS BEING PLAYED BY JARED
LETO.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND I UNDERSTAND YOU HADN'T MET HIM OUT OF
CHARACTER UNTIL FAIRLY RECENTLY, UNTIL--
>> THIS WEEKEND.
>> Stephen: THIS WEEKEND?
>> THIS WEEKEND AT SOUTH BY.
>> Stephen: SO THERE WAS NO POINT WHERE HE WAS OUT OF
CHARACTER WHEN YOU WERE AROUND HIM.
>> NO, I MEAN, WE ZOOMED BEFORE WE STARTED, BUT I KIND OF THINK
HE WAS PALAGUCCI.
IT'S A LITTLE-- IT WAS A LITTLE --
>> Stephen: DID IT SOUND LIKE GIPETO.
>> HE WAS NOT DOING AN ACCENT.
BUT ONCE I SAW-- WHEN I SAW THE LOOK IN THE EYES, THAT WAS THAT.
IT WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY FUNNY, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I REALLY
RESPECT JARED'S PROCESS, AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WORKING
WITH WHOEVER THAT WAS.
( LAUGHTER ) AND WE REALLY CREATED THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL CONNECTION BETWEEN US.
AND I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE REALLY RESPECTFUL, BUT THE DAY THE
"HOUSE OF GUCCI" TRAILER CAME OUT, I MEAN-- I HAD TO DO
SOMETHING.
I COULDN'T JUST LET IT BE.
>> Stephen: YOU WERE SHOOTING WHEN IT CAME OUT.
>> IT WAS SHOOTING WHEN WE CAME OUT.
I WAS WORKING TOGETHER WITH SOMEBODY THREE OR FOUR MONTHS.
>> Stephen: THAT'S A LONG TIME TO BE WITH SOMEBODY WHO IS NEVER
OUT OF CHARACTER.
>> WE SHOT FOR SIX SO THAT WAS ONLY THE MIDWAY POINT.
"THE HOUSE OF GUCCI" TRAILER CAME OUT AND WE SHOT A SCENE
THAT DAY.
HE WAS LIKE, OKAY, OKAY, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, GOOD NIGHT."
I SAID, MOTECH, JUST ONE MORE THING."
AND HE WAS LIKE, "YEAH."
I SAID "FATHER, SON HOUSE OF GUCCI."
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN BECAUSE HE'S SO INTENSE
IN HIS COMMITMENT TO HIS PROCESS.
BUT I SWEAR TO GOD, HE SPLIT INTO THREE.
( LAUGHTER ) LIKE-- LIKE-- AND IT WAS LIKE
A...
IT WAS LIKE OVER HERE WAS JARED, HE WAS PALAGUCCI, AND HERE WAS
ADAM NEUMANN.
I DON'T THINK HE DID THIS, BUT IN MY MEMORY HE WAS LIKE WAAAAH.
HE CAME BACK IN.
AND I WAS LIKE OH, DEAR.
AND HE WAS LIKE, "WE.
I THINK I JUST IT TIME TRAVELED."
>> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK.
STICK AROUND.
WHEN WE COME BACK, I'LL ASK ANNIE HOW SHE GETS INTO
CHARACTER.
IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD.
