Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hi. I am Kate Hudson and my name is Oliver Hudson.
We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship and
what it's like to be siblings. We are sibling railvalry, No, no, sibling.
You don't do that with your mouth revely. That's good. Hey, Oliver,

(00:38):
it's Oliver. Hey Oliver, how are you. I'm good, I'm good.
How you doing? Oh I'm good. I'm just I'm just
hanging out. I have a day off from work. Oh
that's great, Oliver. What have you been doing in your
day off? Oh? Thanks for asking, Oliver. I woke up,
I got a really nice night's sleep. I went to

(00:59):
bed at a decent time, which was ten forty five pm.
Woke up around nine. I went to Siedel's in Toronto,
had some nice little bagel tower, went and got a massage.
You know, things were pretty good. Well, isn't that good
for you? You little fuck? Oh? Whoa? Oliver? What happened? Well?

(01:22):
You're just so fucking spoiled you think that your God's Okay,
I'm going to cut this conversation off right now, Oliver. Okay,
I don't know what I just did. I just did
something This is Oliver. This is the real Oliver. The
other guy was someone who was pretending to be Oliver.
It just wasn't him. I don't know which one was

(01:44):
the real one, which one was a fake one, But
now you got the real one. So if I haven't
confused anyone enough, this is Dan. My name is Dan,
and you are listening to sibling Revelry the Rant, additioning
on a couple of them. I've been busy, but I
wanted to get on and just talk for a second
because the Academy Awards were on, and typically I don't

(02:05):
watch the Academy Awards. To be totally honest, I just
I don't know. I don't have much interest in it,
I guess. I mean, it's fun to see the speeches,
it's fun to see the host, but I don't know.
I don't know whether it's a if it's a rebellion
of some sort because I wish I was there, or
if it's just I just don't care. We kind of
grew up in this crazy business. I'm not sure. Just

(02:32):
to go deeper on that, it's probably a fucking rebellion
of some kind because I kind of wish it was me.
God is this what's happening? Right? Do I wish it
was me? The name of my production company is called
slow Burn, because that's what I feel like. I am
a very slow burn. Now, maybe when I'm eighty five

(02:55):
ninety years old, I'll finally sort of reach my potential,
or I be I won't. I don't know, but you know,
I think there's a part of me always as a
kid and even into my young adulthood, and I think
I'm finally getting over at the age of fifty. But

(03:15):
I wonder if anyone else can relate to this, where
if you don't try your hardest on something, then when
you fail, it doesn't hurt as much, you know what
I mean? Like if I don't put everything fucking into
it and then it doesn't work out, I don't have
that far to fall, and I always can use the excuse, well,

(03:38):
I didn't try my hardest, you know. And I think
that has dictated a lot of my life which I
have to get the fuck over, you know. And I
think I gradually am, even though I'm almost one hundred
and fifty years old, but always learning, always trying to
figure my shit out. Moments of just man, I love

(04:02):
who I am I love where I am, I love
my outlook, and then moments of oh the fuck am
I What have I been doing? What do I feel
like this? Yeah, it's just the roller coaster, But anyway,
I digress it. Yeah, the Academy Awards I wanted to
watch because this is the first year I've watched every movie.
I made a decision to do that, and so it
was fun for me to see who actually was voted

(04:26):
in or voted out of the winner circle. And it's
all ridiculous to me. Honestly, it's all good shit. But
for the most part, I wanted to see my mother,
who was presenting, and it was very exciting. And it's
been a minute since she's been on the stage, been
on the screen, been on the stage, been a presenter

(04:48):
of the Academy Awards, and she was asked to do so,
and it was really really amazing to watch and emotional
to watch for a few reasons. Number one, yes, she's
my mother and she will always be my mother. You
know that sets it. I don't look at her as
anything else, but when you step outside of that for
a second and then you realize her the force that

(05:10):
she was and still is, but especially was when she
was coming up in this business as a female, tough
as fucking nails, you know, one of the first women,
if not the first woman, to have a overall producing
deal at a studio. I could be wrong about that,
but I know she was a pioneer, let's say, fighting

(05:31):
for her creativity, fighting for her ideas, not taking shit,
and paving the way for a lot of young women
to become what they've become. And she's a fucking icon
that way. And so it was emotional for me to
watch her on stage looking incredible. Don't forget this woman's

(05:53):
almost eighty years old with the gold dress looking beautiful.
I mean, it was just stunning. And it made me
sad in a way too, because she's so incredible. I
want to see her on screen. This is where she thrives.
This is her energy exudes. This, this is where she belongs.

(06:19):
Not to say the last twenty years haven't been amazing.
I mean she's literally changed the world, you know, with
her foundation. She has put everything into it. She is
a fucking CEO. She's as bad ass as she's ever been.
And that was her next chapter, you know, and she's
just killed that. I mean, she's done incredible things for children,

(06:39):
implementing you know, her ideas with her foundation mind up
into the curriculum of schools. Millions of children across the
globe are benefiting from her ideas. And I'm not going
to get into the whole thing, but so she's done
amazing stuff. But just when you see her up there
glowing the cribis of the energy that comes off of her,

(07:02):
you just wonder, Man, come on, let's go. I want
to see her now. To be fair, that's her choice,
but I try to put her in a million things
that I'm doing. But it was just such a great
moment for me and for everyone the whole family to
watch her. I mean, our family thread blew up. Just amazed.
You know, we're amazed by her every fucking day, but

(07:24):
just like watching her, and then on top of that,
Andrew Garfield was just amazing. You know, what a nice tribute.
I wrote an Instagram post about her, but what a
nice tribute. You know how much his mother meant to
him and how much my mom meant to his mother,
and to watch sort of that, I'll come together. It

(07:45):
was just awesome. And the kid is handsome as fuck too.
Love that little brown suit. Open shirt. You know what
I mean. He's doing it right. He's doing it right.
Handsome boy. I think I'm way older than him, so
I think I can call him that. But it was great.
It was really really great to watch, and I thought
Conan was amazing. I thought it was really funny. Anyway,

(08:05):
I just wanted to pop that out there talking about
my mom. She still recognized as one of the greats.
There's nobody like her. I don't think anyone ever will
come along like her. You know. I go back and
watch some of her old movies, and it's incredible how
amazing she is, not just how funny, but what an

(08:25):
incredible actor she is. You know what she brings to
these characters in these roles, which is something you can't
really define. You can't practice it, you can't try to
do it. It's just innate. It's just who you are.
And she continues to be that. But watching her. She
did a movie. I think it was her second movie.

(08:46):
It was Spielberg's first movie, well after Duel. I think
he did Duel and then he did Sugarland Express. And
it was the fiftieth anniversary of sugar Land So we
all together and watched a print of it, n actual
thirty five millimeter print, and it was just amazing to

(09:06):
watch this woman go to work. Just crazy. Anyway, I
just wanted to gush about my mother because it was
just inspiring to watch her up on that stage. You know,
even though it was three or four minutes, it was
it was a good three or four minutes, and it

(09:26):
just made me want to see her do it again.
And believe me, I tell her all the time. One
of my things on the thread was just like all right,
like time to get back to work. I just want
to see her work because she's just so good. She's
just so awesome. So there's that, and then now I'm

(09:54):
I'm here, I'm here. I got a few more days left.
I had an amazing time here with my son, Wilder,
who had his first gig as an actor. And again
staying on theme, it's amazing to watch him sort of
grow and get better and better. You know, from the
first half of this movie to the second half, his

(10:15):
confidence levels just jumped. You know, he's becoming just easier
in his skin. And it is a pretty special experience
that I had with this boy. But I will say
though that I have when he got this gig. And
and by the way, those of you listening probably are thinking, oh,

(10:36):
all avers doing this movie. Nepotism. He just got the
gig because he's his son and all that. Of course,
nepotism plays a part in this. It's nepotism exists across
every everything, every fucking industry. The reason it's a sign
to just Hollywood, I don't know, because it's flashy, I guess.

(10:56):
But pick any industry, pick any job, and there is nepotism. Okay,
So but interestingly enough, with nepotism in our business, it
can only go so far. And I will say this
because yes, can I get him the opportunity to get
the job, of course, can I get him the audition
to maybe get the job, Yes, But at the end

(11:19):
of the day, he has to get it himself. Because
you have these big studios, whether it be Warner Brothers
or Netflix, and big producers and directors. They're not going
to hire somebody just because if they fucking suck, because
then they are potentially harming their creative vision. You know
all of that. So that being said, Wilder auditioned for
this thing. I thought it was just going to be

(11:39):
an experience, and we ended up getting it. And I
had this vision that we're going to move to Toronto
together for six weeks and have just this like incredibly
bonding experience. And yes, in a few years he's going
to look at this and understand how important this was.
But I had this sort of fantasy. I created this
montage in my head of h and there was music

(12:01):
to it in my head of We're going to get
this house. We're gonna light the fires because it's cold
and wintry, We're gonna watch movies. He's gonna get in
my bed and watch a couple of cool movies. And
he doesn't have to sleep in my bed. If you
fall asleep in my bed, it's okay, you know, maybe
a little maybe, like a weird cuddle that happens. Like
I had this vision and we get here, Oh cool places,

(12:27):
cool clunk clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk up the stairs door closes.
Oh shit, my montage just got blown up. What happened
to it? And I'm like, wild, you want a cool
watch a movie like you know, a lot of fire.
He's like, nah, holy shit, I guess you can. You

(12:49):
can't take the teenager out of the city. You know
what I mean, I thought, maybe moving to another country
for a little bit, might you know, regress him a
few years to where he wanted to be a part
of his day his life. But you know, he's he's
still my little teenager. Anyway. It's not a bad thing necessarily,
but I did have this vision of what it was

(13:09):
going to be. But we did have an amazing time.
And I do think that this is something that he's
going to look back on if he chooses to be
an actor for the rest of his life, and recognize
how valuable it was and what an incredible experience it was,
because you know, not often with a family of actors
do we get to work together, and it happened at
such a young age, and who knows what's going to

(13:31):
happen again. But all in all, had an incredible time
with this kid. Very proud of him, very very proud
of him. And that's about it. I was inspired to talk,
so here I am, and I'm gonna hit you with
a holl at you with another one at some point.

(13:52):
At some point, it's got to be inspired. It's got
to be inspired. You know what. We're gonna be fun too,
for those of you listening, I want to do more
of these rants. You know where I can just sort
of let my mind wander and speak on shit. Give
me some topics, you know what I mean. On the
Sibling revel Reinstagram. Throw out some topics, all right. Much

(14:15):
love to everyone out there, Peace to the gods.
