Hope you enjoy. Yeah, today.
Today we have a great couple. I think, Oh my gosh, keep that
myself on the back. People loved.
This couple so much. They did.
My sister Caitlin. I texted her earlier today and
she said that she was devastated when spoiler they broke.
My gosh, I know the pain. And we're talking about Emma
Stone and Andrew Garfield today. Their love story?
I see edits of them all the time.
Oh yeah, you do. Yeah.
Like a? Nice.
Talking stuff. I good to hear.
I think they're cute. I mean, I must confess to you
guys, I've never seen a Spiderman movie.
I've actually never seen a Marvel movie, if you can believe
it. Ever.
It's impressive. Not one I I know at this point
it's kind of intimidating. Well, you don't have to like.
Superheroes. Or be into Spiderman to enjoy
this episode. I hadn't seen The Amazing
Spiderman, the Andrew Garfield versions.
Actually, I had seen the Tobey Maguire ones, so I'm sure any,
like super fans listening will be like, what?
But I did watch it to prepare for this.
Did you? Like it?
So I I did. I mean, it was a little silly
sometimes. A little bit.
Over the top occasionally, but it was a fun movie.
And I mean I'll talk about it a little bit more later, but I
didn't back in the day when they were together, I didn't keep
close tabs on them or anything, but I was actually really sad
when I heard that they broke up. I don't even know why.
I just thought they were lovely, beautiful people and they seemed
good together and I was sad when they heard about that they.
Looked really cute together and I think they were two stars at
the time that. We were all just getting to know
and they were very familiar faces to us, so it was
comforting that they were dating.
Yeah, you. Know I don't know why.
Everything was right in the world.
And like looking back, I feel like there was less strife at
that time period. It's true.
And it makes you wonder, you know, if they were together,
would would things be better? Would our country be less?
Divided maybe? If I did describe them in three
words, this was tough. Sometimes it's tough to think of
this. I know I came up with.
I would describe them as silly but also serious.
Yeah, you know what I know. What you mean enduring?
Enduring. I know what you mean about silly
but serious? Yeah, cool.
And I don't know why I can't elaborate but.
They're just both somehow. OK, I'm going to get into it
now. Before they met, Before they
met, Emma Cetone was born Emily. Jean Stone actually named Emily.
She was born November 6th, 1988, two days before me.
Well, not the same year, but very close birthday to me.
She was born in Scottsdale, AZ. I don't know if we have.
We had an Arizona person. Before maybe.
I can't definitively say no, but.
I mean now it's been this is our 51st episode, so it's getting
hard to keep track. Her father, Jeffrey Charles
Stone, was the founder of a general contracting business,
and her mom, Krista, was a homemaker.
And Emma has a younger brother, Spencer.
I read that for a couple years between the ages of 1215 they
lived in Camelback in. A hotel in Paradise Valley, AZ.
I'm not sure why. I don't know if their house was
getting redone or something, but yeah, and Mom went to pretty
regular grade school. She got all A's because she
claimed she was controlling about it, but she experienced
anxiety and panic attacks as a kid.
And just like some other actors we've talked about, like Mila
Kunis, she started doing theater to help improve her social
skills and anxiety. Yep.
But I also read that she was interested in acting since age
4, so I guess both. That makes sense.
Originally she wanted to do sketch comedy, and then she
moved her focus to musical theater.
She's actually very much a theater kid.
I didn't really realize that until this.
I can see that, I guess, you know, from La La Land.
Yeah, yeah. Emma was homeschooled for two
years and then? And during that time, she was
actually in 16 plays in Phoenix Valley's youth theater.
Yeah, 16 plays in two years. That's a lot.
Yeah. She auditioned unsuccessfully
for all that. I.
Didn't make it. I could have seen her on that.
Me too. Yeah, this is that was a good
show. Yeah, class.
There's some, like, really classic sketches from all that.
Oh yeah, I loved all that. She only attended high school
for one semester before homeschooling again to become an
actress, and she actually made a PowerPoint presentation to
convince her parents to let her move to California to pursue
acting. Yeah, January 2004 she moved to.
LA with her mother. As a teenager, people's parents
are such pushovers. I mean, it worked out, but I
couldn't make a PowerPoint presentation to convince my
parents of anything. Alright, I will have to stop.
