1:52
Seaside for details. I
1:54
said to someone, they go, what are your expectations for the machine
1:56
opening day weekend? And I was saying
1:59
on press.
1:59
152 million opening their weekend. So
2:02
you want it to be bigger than Top Gun Maverick? And
2:06
I went, is that how big that is? And they're like,
2:08
it made 120 million. And I went, whoa.
2:11
This is gonna be huge then. Holy
2:13
shit, 150, that's record
2:15
breaking numbers. Wow,
2:18
I had no idea the machine was gonna be that
2:20
big. That's
2:21
gonna be crazy. I
2:24
think it's the fun thing
2:25
about my career is that people think that I'm just
2:27
an alcoholic. And then
2:29
they see me, did I work every day?
2:31
Yeah, no, so like, I thought you were an alcoholic
2:34
too. And then like, when we did the movie, I
2:37
was like, oh, he's not like addicted
2:39
to drinking. He just likes to drink. Yeah, yeah.
2:41
I don't need to wake up and drink. I just
2:43
like to have drinks. Did I ever tell
2:46
you that you posted a video one
2:48
time?
2:50
And I think this was
2:52
before we did the movie.
2:54
And it was, I didn't know what
2:57
these things were. I thought these were
2:59
like seltzers or something. And
3:01
you had like five of these next to your bed. And
3:03
you were like making a video. Like,
3:06
hey, what's up guys? And I was like, oh fuck.
3:10
He's got these next to his bed.
3:13
I was like, the dude is sucking down
3:15
like six hall boys in the morning.
3:17
I drink them pretty fast too. There
3:20
were like six empty ones and you were drinking
3:22
one and like making a video in the morning. And
3:25
I was like, oh man, I knew you'd like
3:27
to drink, that is fucked up. Yeah,
3:29
no, I
3:31
just like to have drinks. I like, my
3:34
real addiction is being
3:36
social. I want people around me. I want people around
3:38
me all the time. I don't want, that's
3:40
what I love about this house. I wake up, I come here and everyone's
3:43
here. Yeah. It's
3:46
like camp, you get that moment where you're like, like,
3:48
hey, how did everyone sleep last night? Yeah,
3:51
like I was never the guy that went to sleep
3:54
first at sleepovers. Oh my God. I think
3:56
that carries on to what
3:59
you're talking about. You don't want to be
4:01
the first one to go to sleep. That's why I love a tour
4:03
bus. Tour bus is the best.
4:06
When you wake up in the morning, especially after everyone's been partying,
4:08
and you wake up in the morning and you have one joke that you went to
4:10
bed with,
4:12
and then you hear a curtain open, and
4:14
someone starts that joke all over again, and
4:16
then everyone's like, hey, where are we going to breakfast? And you're
4:19
like, oh. That question, I love that
4:21
question. I love a diner. If
4:23
I can find a diner, like I'm about to go shoot
4:25
for two months, as long as I can find
4:27
a diner. You got a good group you're shooting with, though.
4:30
I just saw, I just saw,
4:32
well, I know the one I saw is, I fucking
4:34
love this lady, Leanne Morgan. Oh,
4:37
yeah, yeah, yeah. She's playing like
4:39
my fiance's mom or something.
4:42
She is the, you're gonna fall
4:44
in love with her. Like, the first time
4:46
she talks to you, you're gonna go, oh, I could listen
4:48
to her talk. I think I met her at a table read.
4:51
Really? We did a table read for the movie and then like. What
4:53
movie is it? It's called You're
4:56
Cordially Invited.
4:58
It's Will
5:00
Fell, Reese Witherspoon, Geraldine,
5:03
this one, Ethan, and Meredith Hagner, and
5:06
then Leanne Morgan as well. Leanne Morgan and you, and
5:08
then there's like a couple other people that I recognize
5:10
that were just, that were in it. Yeah, I'm
5:12
not sure. I don't know the forecast.
5:14
Yeah, I don't know
5:16
the forecast, but it's a good group. And then it's
5:18
like Nick Stoller is the writer and director.
5:21
He did like, forgetting
5:23
Sarah Marshall, and then he's like,
5:25
I'm gonna get him to the Greek, Neighbors.
5:27
Neighbors is a big movie. Yeah. Did
5:30
you, are you used to that yet? Like
5:32
of the, like I'm going somewhere for two months?
5:35
Yeah, I kind of like it. Yeah?
5:38
Yeah, I like going to,
5:41
like I like going to a new place and just being there
5:44
and not like stopping by for like a little
5:46
bit, but like actually
5:48
like living in a random ass place that
5:51
you would have never otherwise gone immersing
5:54
and like
5:55
the energy there and like the local
5:57
vibes. I find a diner that I like and then like.
6:00
I'll bring my Apple TV, someone I'm bored,
6:02
I'll just watch whatever movies. I can't do that,
6:04
I can't watch it. Really? Yeah,
6:07
I lost the ability to watch
6:09
television, I think. It
6:12
makes me feel like I'm wasting my life. Diagnosed? Yeah,
6:14
yeah, I diagnosed. I went
6:17
to a doctor and everything. He put on a show and
6:19
he was like, this is Sopranos, and I was like, pass.
6:21
You can't watch Sopranos? I've never seen it. Dude,
6:24
I watched it for the first time during the pandemic,
6:26
and that's pretty late. That's pretty late, is
6:28
it good? But it's fucking, it's really, it's
6:31
funny. It's like a comedy show.
6:33
For real? About sensitive mafia guys.
6:36
Sweet. They'd be like, yeah, you just respected me, stepped
6:38
on my shoe, and let's fucking kill his family.
6:42
But I've never seen Sopranos, I've
6:44
never seen any of the bingeable shit,
6:47
I've never seen that, still don't listen to Drake,
6:49
I don't know Drake. That's like the big
6:52
one.
6:52
Not listening to Drake? Oh, Drake is like-
6:54
But you're like familiar with Drake. Like if you wrote a Drake song,
6:56
you'd be like, that's Drake. I keep waiting, I
6:59
look at Drake, and I think
7:01
he'd be like,
7:02
Oh baby, I'm
7:05
gonna rub you down. I
7:07
mean, that's not that far off. For
7:09
real? I don't know if he says I wanna rub you down,
7:12
but like,
7:13
you had it with Oh Baby. Oh, you
7:16
remember when you told me that I was a fan
7:18
of Migos?
7:19
Yeah, you were, you are a big fan of Migos. And I
7:21
was like- You were playing, I was playing all this good
7:24
music, and you were like, this is all shit. And
7:26
then I put on some Migos, and
7:28
you're like this. That was a disconnect. Is that
7:30
like, that's when, I think a lot of guys
7:33
think they can fuck younger chicks until
7:35
they hang out with a younger person. And then
7:37
they're like, you've never seen Ace Ventura? You know? Right,
7:40
right. And then they go, oh, all our fucking, we
7:42
do not connect at all. Yeah. Because
7:44
I remember we were listening to your music, and my cousin
7:46
Andrew was with us. And I was like,
7:49
man,
7:50
I like any of Jimmy's songs. He's like,
7:53
yeah, he's also 20 years younger than you.
7:55
And I went, and I went, so? He's
7:58
like, dude, all the shit you listen to. to just
8:01
his parents listened to. And I was
8:03
like, fuck. And then you turn on Migos.
8:05
And I had always said I didn't like Migos. I
8:07
fucking love Migos.
8:09
Camila, not enjoying
8:11
Migos. You know who Shane Gillis is? I
8:14
know the name. He's a comedian, you'd love him. You'd
8:16
fucking love him. He, we
8:18
did a, we did shows that in,
8:21
sorry fuck, where were we? It was for the
8:24
Superbowl. And Drake was having a party and
8:26
his, I mean, I've
8:28
never seen someone care so much
8:30
about going to a fucking party. He's like, it's Drake,
8:33
dude, it's Drake. And I was like, yeah,
8:35
he doesn't,
8:36
I can't imagine dating a chick who was like, we
8:39
have to go to the Drake party. I'd be like, I
8:41
miss Leanne. Yeah. I
8:43
miss an old lady who goes, who's Drake?
8:46
Yeah. I ain't never seen no Drake.
8:48
How cool is your life though? I watch you on Instagram.
8:51
You've been everywhere this past year.
8:54
Yeah, this past year
8:56
I've traveled to some cool places.
8:59
I mean, everywhere, every time I go on Instagram, you
9:01
were like, I feel like you were in cons. You
9:03
were in. Yeah, I was in con like a year ago. We
9:06
went to, we went to Cannes and then we went to,
9:10
we went to like Monaco for the Grand
9:13
Prix. And then we went to the Maldives and then
9:15
the Antarctica trip was crazy. You went
9:17
to Antarctica? That was the craziest thing
9:19
I've ever done in my life. So where did you guys leave
9:21
from? We left from, we met
9:24
up with everyone in Argentina.
9:26
And then we flew. I mean, that's a trip.
9:28
What? That's a trip. That's
9:31
a trip. But it wasn't, that was just where
9:33
we met up. So you just flew from LA to
9:35
Argentina? To Argentina. And
9:37
then we went to Chile. And then you get on like a special
9:40
airplane that can land on ice. And
9:43
then we flew to Antarctica and then
9:45
we got to King George. But are you nervous
9:47
at all? Oh yeah. I
9:50
was like, are we good?
9:51
Cause they're giving you all this, they're like a list of gear
9:54
that you need. But it was summertime
9:56
there. So it wasn't like negative 60.
9:59
It was like zero. It was just
10:01
cold as fuck. It was cold as fuck. It was like
10:03
Michigan in the winter. It was like zero to 20. So
10:05
there were times when I'm outside, you know,
10:07
just like,
10:08
and I'm like, this is fine. We're going in the water
10:11
and stuff.
10:12
We're cold plunging in the water. For real, in
10:14
Antarctica. And then, you know, we took like a
10:16
helicopter from the,
10:18
where we landed to the boat
10:20
and we were on the boat for like eight days, just cruising
10:23
around the, the, the peninsula.
10:27
See, I would have, I would have, I would have
10:29
a fear that I had to entertain the entire
10:31
time. Yeah.
10:33
I mean, it was, I didn't
10:36
know you, you wouldn't have had that on this trip because there
10:38
were so many people that probably,
10:41
there were so many people like that. That it was
10:43
like a very cool group of people. Like
10:46
just an eclectic group of like, actors,
10:48
musicians, really nice. Yeah, athletes,
10:50
act like actors, musicians. It was like
10:52
a wild group of people.
10:55
And there's nobody
10:57
there. Like the captain
11:00
of the, of the boat was
11:02
like, he's
11:04
like, yeah, so so
11:06
and so, like the guy who booked the whole
11:08
thing, he said, he doesn't want to see any other ships.
11:11
So we're going to try to avoid seeing
11:13
anyone, which might be tough because it's
11:16
a high season, but we're going to do what we
11:18
can. So we saw two
11:20
other boats the whole time. Really?
11:23
Yeah. Like there's nobody there. We
11:25
went like heli boarding on a. Helicopter
11:28
boarding. Yeah. You take a helicopter and snowboard
11:30
some mountain and we just kept laughing it. And
11:33
they were like, we're like, how many people have done this? And they're
11:35
like,
11:35
probably like 10. Like you
11:38
tell me we're like, heli
11:40
board in Antarctica. Does
11:45
anyone in the boat not know you're
11:47
not a trust fund kid?
11:49
Cause I mean, like when you
11:51
get in that scenario, you assume
11:54
everyone is from
11:56
money and this is like, oh yeah, this is what we
11:58
do. And you are not
12:00
that person. Yeah, I
12:02
was definitely the poorest person
12:05
on the board. Do people know how
12:07
regular you are? Does
12:10
that bother you if people know that you're not, that
12:13
you really aren't,
12:14
you aren't, fucking who's
12:16
the kid in Dune, you aren't that guy? You
12:19
aren't. What, Timothy Chalamet's character? Yeah, you aren't
12:21
like, I mean, I assume. You know what I think is funny about Dune by the way?
12:23
Oh, I could talk about Dune forever, I just saw it. Dude, Timothy,
12:26
the whole movie of Dune, I saw Dune
12:28
one, the whole movie is everyone being like, oh my God,
12:30
that's Timothy Chalamet. Right,
12:33
like the whole time they're like, oh my God, he's
12:35
so fucking hot, that's Timothy Chalamet. You
12:37
know, Kale was in post-production
12:40
when we were shooting The Machine. Oh, on
12:42
Dune? On Dune, he was getting cuts the entire
12:44
time. Oh, Dune one or two? Dune one,
12:46
Dune two, he's doing Dune two right now. He's
12:49
finishing it up right now. Dune
12:51
one,
12:51
you know. Dune one was like, yo, how
12:54
much did Zendaya get paid? Cause
12:56
she didn't even have to read a script. Was
12:59
she even in it? I don't even remember. She's in the
13:01
end, she's in dream sequences. Oh, right, right,
13:03
right. But the whole time, you're like, it's Zendaya
13:05
with blue eyes, motherfucker. And
13:07
then this new one's Timothy Chalamet with blue eyes.
13:11
Peter, my assistant, is like, I mean
13:13
it in the best way, but like a nerd, and so
13:15
he loves fantasy stuff. Yeah,
13:17
I mean, I do too. I just felt like Dune was like, the
13:20
whole movie felt like the first act.
13:21
I was like, this is all
13:24
like an intro? I was very confused. Well,
13:26
I could have used a little more lighting.
13:29
It was dark as fucking shit.
13:31
And the whole time I'm going, who is this? Are we supposed
13:33
to not see it? Yeah, yeah, it's intentional.
13:35
Could they name one group of family the
13:38
Smiths? So I can, cause I'm bad
13:40
with names. So when they're like the Van
13:42
Dariens. What is like the Atreides? Atreides
13:46
and the Van Dari, the Valorian Bladens.
13:48
Yeah. And then the name of the Steel,
13:51
it's so Game of Thrones. The whole movie
13:53
though. If you right. After
13:55
that movie, I was like, I get the Timothy Chalamet
13:57
thing now.
13:58
I understand it. I do too. I mean, I was just like,
14:00
yeah. Have you met him? No, I haven't met him. But
14:03
I mean, I saw that movie and I was like, I
14:05
mean, the whole movie, like I said, it's everyone being like, whoa.
14:07
What's crazy, see what Timothy
14:10
Chalamet, because like you're accessible,
14:13
you're approachable in life. You've
14:15
always have been,
14:17
but like Timothy Chalamet gives off a vibe
14:19
of like, ooh, don't talk to
14:21
him. But like, I wonder if he's like a regular
14:23
person.
14:25
Where's he from? Like, what does his dad do?
14:28
His dad's got it with the
14:30
name like Chalamet. You can't like. You
14:33
can't be a normal. His mom's
14:35
pretty. You didn't grow up in Venice with a name
14:37
like Chalamet. His dad was a French
14:39
writer and editor working for the
14:42
United Nations. Yeah, of course.
14:44
Okay, that guy's been on Yacht-Stan-Artica. He
14:46
grew up on Yacht-Stan-Artica. But
14:49
like, that's the thing that
14:51
I always have. I don't
14:53
know, and I especially have it right fucking
14:55
now, is imposter syndrome.
14:58
Where I feel like I snuck
15:00
my way into a party and everyone's gonna find
15:03
out that I don't belong there. And
15:05
then I'm not like, I don't really,
15:07
like I may have money, but I don't
15:09
deserve to have money.
15:11
But every time I see these trips, I know
15:14
you're a regular person. And
15:17
so I always wonder,
15:19
does that ever, like when
15:21
you're on these fucking crazy ventures,
15:25
I don't know what I can and can't say with you because I'm
15:27
really about a secret. So I don't know, like your list
15:30
of friends is so
15:33
extensively, authentically
15:36
diverse and kind of illuminati.
15:41
Like it's that I go, but
15:43
he is ultimately, at the
15:45
end of the day, and your girlfriend knows this, he is
15:47
just Jimmy.
15:48
Yeah. I mean, I
15:50
don't know if I get like imposter
15:54
syndrome, but I get like when I'm
15:56
in those crazy situations, sometimes
15:58
I'll just kind of like.
15:59
Zoom out for a second and be like
16:02
this is fucking crazy And
16:05
sometimes I'm in these situations and that's really all
16:07
I can say for like a couple hours like
16:09
this is fucking crazy you
16:11
know and but like
16:13
usually
16:15
Everyone can acknowledge the craziness of
16:18
situations and if they can't then
16:20
maybe we're not really on the same page
16:22
You know like if I'm doing a crazy
16:25
You know yacht somewhere and you're like, this is crazy.
16:28
I'm like, what do you mean?
16:29
Okay, maybe off. I'm gonna lean
16:31
over this way and say that's crazy and
16:33
see if this Also
16:36
agrees that it's crazy. Do you think you ever
16:39
be a guy that's
16:40
impressed by like
16:42
There is a part that's like there's celebrities
16:45
I want like I never give a fuck about acting I never
16:47
give a fuck about acting I didn't want to be an actor
16:49
and I didn't want to be in movies
16:51
and I and I said shitty things
16:53
about actors to My daughter who wanted
16:56
to be an actor And then I
16:58
acted and I went That
17:00
was pretty interesting. Well, but also
17:03
your experience with acting was
17:05
very free of the parts of acting
17:07
that suck Okay, what sucks about
17:09
it because you came in
17:11
as the star of the movie.
17:14
Yeah, and it was like the Burt
17:16
show Usually
17:18
as an actor you got to deal
17:21
with being shitted on for
17:23
real and Feeling like
17:25
you thought you were that guy Yeah
17:28
And then not being that guy for
17:30
a long time before you can be that
17:32
guy and that part of it I don't
17:34
think you would like at all. So kale
17:36
told me
17:37
He goes I can see where you'd be problematic on
17:40
a movie. Right? I said really he goes I
17:42
think you just want to be the star of movies.
17:44
You're you you'd be good at being the star of
17:47
movies If they're
17:49
like Bert, we need you out here for
17:51
a month and a half
17:52
You're in four scenes. We're just not sure
17:54
when they're gonna be so we'd like you to stay here the
17:57
whole time You'd say I
17:59
think I'm done acting
17:59
I'm done acting. I wasn't the kind of actor
18:02
who couldn't be showered
18:04
with accolades after the scene.
18:06
I liked- You weren't the kind of actor
18:10
who couldn't be showered with accolades. You
18:17
were open to it. I know. I
18:20
was open to it. You were open to the scene
18:22
ending and everyone just going, let's
18:24
give it up for Burt. Fucking Burt killed
18:26
it. I need to hear that. I need to hear that.
18:30
Rodney Dangerfield was like that. When they
18:32
did Caddyshack, he did the first take and
18:34
no one was laughing. They went,
18:36
and cut. He goes, I'm popping over here.
18:39
They're like, no, it's a movie set. We can't laugh
18:42
or ruin the take. He's like, silent. I've
18:45
fucking never done silence before. Then they
18:47
said, all right, everyone just laugh on this next take and give
18:49
them his confidence back. They all
18:51
laughed out loud, ruined the take. Rodney's
18:54
like, now we got it. That's funny.
18:57
There's a weird part of like, I think I
18:59
just have a comics brain. But
19:02
what's interesting
19:04
is
19:06
when we got done the movie, I went, oh,
19:09
I can understand. I
19:11
was like, okay, I want to work
19:13
with Jonah Hill. I
19:16
would love to watch him work. I
19:18
worked with Jonah Hill and he's like the most talented
19:22
improv actor I've ever
19:24
experienced in person. Intimidating
19:26
as fuck because he would say things that were funnier
19:29
than the script every time that
19:31
I didn't know were coming. It was like my second movie. I'm
19:33
like 19 years old
19:35
and I'm next to Jonah Hill who's like
19:38
a legend. What movie was it? 22 Jump
19:40
Street. Oh, it was a great fucking movie. He's just throwing
19:42
zingers at me that weren't in the script. I have
19:45
the script memorized and I was just like,
19:47
oh, oh. It
19:49
was such a cool moment because I
19:51
realized how improv
19:54
works on set. And he was
19:56
just zinging these
19:58
one-liners at me.
19:59
trying to react and not laugh and also
20:02
navigate being in awe of Jonah
20:04
Hill just like
20:06
doing this in front of me. But
20:08
like to your point about that's
20:11
kind of what made me
20:12
realize I like doing comedy movies
20:15
more than
20:16
serious movies. Because in a comedy,
20:18
even in a show or like a movie, if
20:21
you kill it,
20:22
you kind of walk off the set, whether or not
20:24
they ruin the take, kind of walk off the set everyone's
20:26
like smiling like that was that was fucking funny. Yeah.
20:29
If it's serious and you crush it,
20:32
people are crying, you know, people. Yeah.
20:35
And they look at you and they go.
20:37
And you're like, man, it's like a solemn vibe
20:39
right now. And it's hard to feel like, did
20:42
I
20:42
do well? Like I remember on one movie
20:45
or a show where it was, I
20:47
was not it was not a funny scene. And
20:49
I kept like going to the director and being like, am I like
20:51
blowing this? And it's really you're doing great. It's
20:54
just like not no one's like, you're
20:56
not hearing any reactions right now
20:58
because you're doing well. If they're laughing, you're
21:00
it wouldn't be good. It must have
21:03
been a bummer the rap party for Schindler's list.
21:07
Everyone's like, everyone's like, I
21:09
was good. Yeah, they're like, we did a good
21:11
thing. Yeah, we did a good thing. Patting each
21:13
other on the back. All right, man. I go. Stay at
21:15
home. Like just like really intense long
21:17
hug. Yeah. Just at the end of the
21:19
day, like, yeah, they killed those people.
21:22
Yeah.
21:23
All right. See you guys
21:25
tomorrow. Yeah. I don't ever want to work on
21:28
a serious movie. That would be stupid.
21:30
I'm just, I just had a vision of you being
21:32
on Schindler's list. So
21:35
what's the plan boys? What are we doing now?
21:37
And I'm like, I
21:40
could, I would have had to, I would have had to play a Nazi.
21:43
I think
21:44
I don't think I could have given
21:46
you, like,
21:46
I don't think I would have had to, like, I
21:49
can't give you empathetic energy, but I can give you dick,
21:51
like frat boy energy, not the frat boys
21:53
or Nazis, but like, there's a, there's
21:55
a correlation.
21:56
There's a correlation to frat
21:59
boys being Nazis.
21:59
then if
22:03
Trump was gonna recruit this, why
22:05
would I fucking talk like this? This
22:07
is like the worst part about me. And
22:10
I'm still going, so I think it's not a bad idea. But
22:12
if you were gonna start an army,
22:15
frat boys is where you'd start. Right,
22:18
very brainwashable,
22:20
already kind of brainwashed. Yeah,
22:22
if we, this is coming from
22:25
a fucking legit frat boy. We
22:27
need to take back this country and it starts on Tuesday nights
22:29
with nickel beers. And everyone's like, yeah,
22:32
who wants Monday night free beers? Yeah,
22:35
but on Wednesday, we need to eliminate
22:37
the gypsies. That's
22:40
where it starts. Yeah. Yeah,
22:43
but he is giving us nickel beers on Tuesdays. Right. frat
22:46
boys do be chanting stuff.
22:48
It's easy. And then, like you look
22:51
back, I look back on some of the things, like
22:53
our chants and stuff, and I was like, can
22:58
I tell you what's crazy? We had a chant
23:00
that makes no sense. I
23:03
never questioned it making no sense. And
23:06
then I did it with Guy Fieri, who's in the same attorney
23:08
I am. And his chant made less
23:10
sense. And I got frustrated
23:13
that he wasn't signed on to my no
23:15
sense chant.
23:17
It was Rurah
23:21
Regha, for half a tall mega, hip-ra,
23:23
hip-ra, three cheers for alpha tall. All,
23:29
tall's all yeah. And I never
23:31
understood the tall's all yeah. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck you
23:33
just said. Yeah, but Rurah Regha,
23:35
it's such a fucking,
23:37
and he did it, and his was
23:39
different at the end. And I went, I never thought
23:41
that thematically made sense, tall's all yeah.
23:44
Yeah. But we said it, I said
23:46
it all through college. Like if someone put his hand
23:48
up and went, oh, then immediately that was
23:50
a call to war. I
23:52
mean, it was like fucking crazy.
23:55
It's crazy how, it's crazy how fun
23:57
it is. Like
23:58
how it really,
24:00
pulling out this, I hope this doesn't
24:02
come as an insult because I love being a fraternity, but
24:04
like pulling
24:07
out not all identity,
24:09
but a lap, like, but
24:13
I don't know the right way to say it. Do you know what I'm saying though?
24:15
I know what you're saying. I was never really like-
24:17
You were in for a second and out.
24:19
I was, I mean, I was there for three years and
24:22
I was like, holy shit, this is crazy.
24:25
And I started making YouTube videos, kind of like
24:27
making fun of the whole thing. And
24:30
then I dropped out of school junior year, but
24:33
like, you know, I was in it. I
24:36
lived in the house softly and I was,
24:38
I was in too
24:41
deep, I would even say. Oh, not
24:43
as deep as I was. I was there
24:45
for six and a half years in my fraternity.
24:47
Okay, so that is, you were in deeper for
24:49
sure. I was in deeper. You were in deeper. People
24:51
thought I was in that deep because when I made my
24:53
first videos, they thought I was a senior,
24:56
but
24:56
I was a freshman. So then like the next
24:58
year already, I'm a sophomore. I'm living in the house
25:00
and people were like, why are you still here?
25:02
And I'm like,
25:03
what? No, I'm a 19, I'm a sophomore. And
25:06
they'd be like, okay, dude.
25:08
By the time junior year came around, people were
25:11
like, all right, dude, get out
25:13
of here. What are you doing? Partying
25:15
sober versus partying drunk. Do you look at these ever
25:17
live according to Jimmy? I can't even- 3.41 subscribers
25:21
is a legit amount of, look at how fucking
25:24
young you are. Yeah.
25:29
It's hard for me to watch some of
25:31
these videos. Look
25:34
at the way your friends are dressed. I don't know why
25:36
you got one Christmas party. Oh, it's the water,
25:39
we're like. Christmas party. Here you go. Ridiculous.
25:42
These guys?
25:43
Ha ha.
25:46
I'm in the house, motherfucker. Get him out! Get
25:49
him out! I'm going to get you a bad trip. Get
25:51
your shot. Get him out. Yeah,
25:54
okay. So,
25:57
but like when I joined fraternity, I remember-
26:00
I remember, maybe this is just
26:02
who I am. But
26:04
I remember being like, okay,
26:07
so there's a way to dress. I
26:10
was like, why the fuck is everybody dressed
26:12
like this? I
26:24
was like, oh cool, I don't have to worry about what
26:26
the wear it is for. I
26:28
was like, cool, you wear an ATO hat, an ATO
26:31
shirt, a pair of khaki
26:33
shorts, and flip flops, and
26:36
or saddle shoes. Oh my God. Like
26:38
saddle shoes with socks is what everyone wore but I wore flip flops
26:40
because I'm a flip flop guy. But like
26:42
that look,
26:43
like I was like, okay, cool, we're done with
26:45
worrying about what to wear now. Oh man.
26:48
Isn't that crazy? That's
26:50
what's crazy right there, that
26:53
one. That's the one. That's
26:55
where you lost me. That's where I loved it.
26:58
And then when you get older, you realize.
27:01
You realize that. You look like a fucking idiot.
27:04
That you're looking like everyone, because you're seeing younger guys do
27:06
it. But then you lean into the frat
27:08
boy who is ironically
27:11
a frat boy. And that's another
27:13
phase of being a frat boy is that you're like, now
27:16
I wear the crazy outfits. Now I'm crazy guy.
27:19
But you're not crazy guy, because real crazy
27:21
guys in the theater department putting sets together
27:24
and fucking, and
27:28
wearing his own little fucking outfits that he's making.
27:30
Like that's the real, like the real, but
27:32
you go into like, I'm gonna dress like an alligator
27:35
tonight. Or I'm wearing, you know what I'm
27:37
saying? Yeah, I mean like if you go through
27:40
all my college photos, like I would say
27:42
in 60, 70% of them, there's a costume.
27:45
Oh yeah. Everything
27:48
was like a costume party,
27:51
which makes for
27:53
really funny fights. You
27:55
know, like a Halloween fight in college
27:58
where it's just like, I
28:02
witnessed, and I used to tell this story
28:04
in one of my stand up routines, it was about a
28:07
fight I witnessed on Halloween, where
28:09
it was a frat dude, a group of frat
28:11
dudes dressed as bumblebees, and
28:14
not like manly bumblebees, like gold
28:17
tights and like leotards and little
28:19
antennae.
28:21
And this dude
28:23
is like,
28:24
I walk outside and this dude is like heated,
28:27
just pacing, buzzing back and forth.
28:30
And this, and
28:33
he's facing off with a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
28:36
And these two dudes, and it's like a full
28:38
on bro off, like outside of this party
28:40
where like it's heated, you know, but I'm like,
28:42
dude, you're wearing a fucking, you're being a bumblebee
28:45
costume. And all of a sudden one
28:47
dude swings, the whole
28:49
squad of ninja turtles, he has a squad
28:52
and there's a squad of bumblebees. The bees
28:54
swarm, Michael Angelo
28:56
and his boys all hop in.
28:59
And next thing you know, it's like Spiderman comes
29:01
in and like, and
29:03
like, he's just watching, like Woody
29:06
just got knocked out, Buzz Lightyear's over
29:08
there getting his face sounded. Who should they knock down a woman
29:10
though, nevermind, that's a dude dressed as a woman. And
29:14
I was like, this is, how can you be serious
29:17
right now? This guy was so mad
29:19
and he's wearing tights and a leotard. But
29:21
he was like, you fucking say something to me bro.
29:24
I'm like, look in the mirror. Oh
29:26
my God.
29:28
There was a, but there was like such a fun, like
29:30
I missed the, I missed the
29:32
like the hang.
29:34
Like that's the part that was the best is like
29:36
being in the lounge on
29:38
like a fucking Friday at like 130
29:43
when like everyone's getting done their noon
29:45
classes, everyone's coming in to have lunch,
29:48
everyone's figuring out what they're doing for the weekend. You
29:50
have a group that's going, we're gonna take mushrooms
29:52
and go out to fucking raft
29:55
the, the H and the talk knee. You
29:57
have one group like going, oh, we're,
29:59
we're.
29:59
going to party here, like I miss
30:03
the legit hang. And I
30:05
don't mean that shitty, but like,
30:07
you can't,
30:08
with my fraternity
30:10
brothers, we've grown so differently as men,
30:13
that I can't recreate it as the way I wish,
30:16
I can't go back. I hope so, yeah. But
30:18
not all of them have, and I wonder sometimes,
30:22
like they still, I'll get a text from a group,
30:25
and they'll be like, hey, we're going golfing.
30:27
And I
30:30
don't mean that I've, I mean, I guess I
30:32
have changed. You've gone pro. I've
30:35
gone pro with my, yeah. Yeah, I've
30:37
gone pro with my, but even like, with
30:39
like, fraternity, like comics, like
30:42
we went to Mark Norman's bachelor party, and
30:44
even I think in groups still,
30:46
with comics, there's like a weird hierarchy
30:49
of like, you know,
30:51
younger comics versus older comics and older comics,
30:53
like, and so that shows up when
30:55
you don't want it to,
30:57
oddly enough, it's
30:59
always going to show up in things. But with
31:01
those guys, I wish I could go back and be,
31:04
I wish I could like take a pill for a weekend,
31:07
and be like, oh, I'm back.
31:10
I wish I could say the same, but like
31:13
I just went to my friend's bachelor party, the
31:15
Dizzler, and
31:18
that was my whole college group of friends, and it was like,
31:21
oh wow, we're here, we're back. Yeah,
31:24
but you're like what, 20?
31:25
31. 31, yeah. It's
31:28
easy, at 50 it's very different. Yeah, that's true. If kids are in college,
31:30
you have,
31:31
I mean, when
31:33
you turn 50, there are dudes that are hardcore
31:35
assigned to politics, and like, that's
31:37
their thing, you know?
31:39
Like, that just doesn't
31:41
land on my radar, about like
31:43
the Bud Light fucking commercial.
31:45
Why do they care? I don't think
31:48
they went hard enough. On what, blowing
31:50
up Bud Light kids? No, no, no, no. No,
31:53
I think Bud Light should have really leaned into the transgender
31:55
movement.
31:56
And had a dude, I told this earlier, had
31:58
a dude on the corner of a bed drinking.
31:59
taking the Bud Light and this chick's in bed, she's like, are
32:02
you gonna do this or not? And he's like, I'm doing it, I'm doing it. And
32:04
he kills Bud Light and then he turns around and sucks
32:06
his girlfriend's cock. That's the commercial
32:09
I wanna see.
32:11
Fucking lean into it Bud
32:13
Light, get some fucking views.
32:20
Hey, can I be in your next
32:23
movie? You have to keep talking like
32:25
that. Do you remember,
32:27
can I tell you, Christine,
32:29
you're the only one that's gonna really appreciate this? Cause
32:31
you know my, I know Christine for like. What
32:34
a transition that was, he sucks his dick. So
32:37
let's talk best Jim.
32:50
That's
32:56
my goal. That's gonna make me feel better if
32:58
I know that I'm getting everyone work.
33:01
And then by the next thing you know, we're to like 60
33:03
shows and I was so drained and
33:06
I thought I was having fun, but I realized I wasn't
33:09
taking any time for myself. It's so easy to get
33:11
caught up in what everyone else needs from
33:13
you and never take a moment to think like, what
33:15
do I need for myself? I
33:17
need downtime, I need time off, I need to work out, I need to spend
33:19
time with my kids. I had just spent all this time at
33:22
the beginning of the pandemic with them. So I figured, oh, I'll just
33:24

35:43
wrapped steel coils in the base with
35:45
a premium foam layer on top. It's
35:47
the perfect combination of comfort and
35:49
support. I took the sleep quiz and found out,
35:51
oh, I know I'm a side sleeper, but I took the sleep quiz and
35:54
they sent mattresses, and I was skeptical at first.
35:56
And dude, the first night on these mattresses,
35:58
we...
35:59
They sent one mattress, we got one mattress,
36:02
right? For our beach house. That
36:04
was the first one. And the second I slept
36:06
on it, every
36:08
mattress in our house was changed. Every mattress
36:11
in our house, and now all I sleep is on my Helix
36:13
Sleep mattress. It legit was so
36:15
freaking easy to set up. I shot a video of it. I
36:17
set up my mattress in under two minutes. It
36:19
took me two minutes to take the sleep
36:22
quiz. Helix is offering up to 20% off all
36:24

36:29
slash Bert. This is their best offer yet,
36:31
and it won't last long. With Helix,
36:34
better sleep starts now. I
36:36
don't know why, but you are such a mirror to me of
36:39
like how weird
36:41
my brain works. I remember one
36:43
time we're sitting in the tent,
36:48
Jimmy's shirtless,
36:50
and he's got a piece of paper in his lip to
36:52
mimic my lower lip. And
36:55
I said something to the effect of,
36:58
if we do this, how fun
36:59
would it be if we could do this again?
37:04
And he goes, what do you mean? I said, like, if we could do
37:06
another thing. And Jimmy looks at me and he goes,
37:09
I think I might be done
37:11
playing Bert. And
37:15
I said it like for real, like, you
37:17
know how cool it would be if you could play Bert for the rest of your life?
37:19
And he's like, I think I'm good. I
37:22
think once is enough for me. And
37:24
I remember I was being so honest
37:27
and my cousin Andrew was there, and in the car he kept
37:29
laughing. He goes, do you think everyone
37:31
just wants to revolve around you for the rest of your life? And
37:33
I was like, you don't feel that way about yourself?
37:36
Like,
37:38
that moment. And then the
37:41
other one was, and
37:43
this is like, I mean, this is like a real
37:46
mirror to how fucking broken I am.
37:48
We were sitting in the pool one night drinking
37:50
rose,
37:52
and you said, can I tell you a secret? Do
37:54
you remember? Yeah. And I said, yeah, of course.
37:57
And you told me the secret and I immediately.
37:59
Yeah, that was crazy. Grab my phone and call Kale
38:02
and you went, well, what are you doing? And I went,
38:04
tell Kale. You told me. Yeah, I
38:06
was like, bro, I told you 20
38:08
seconds ago and I explicitly said,
38:11
don't tell anyone this, but.
38:14
That's why I'm bad at secrets. I'm just bad at secrets.
38:17
Yeah. But I liked, I think
38:19
it's less the secret part and more the
38:21
excitement on the other person's face when you get
38:24
to tell them something fun. Yeah, I
38:26
get that.
38:27
I think the funniest part of that story that we
38:29
just glazed over that a lot of people would be
38:31
horrified by is that we were just drinking wine.
38:34
We were sitting in the pool with wine glasses. In
38:36
an ice cold pool. It was an ice cold drinking rosé.
38:38
And people
38:39
would be like, get the fuck, get those wine glasses out
38:41
of the pool. Yeah. If
38:45
you break a glass, you gotta drain the hole. It's
38:47
a big deal. Did you come back, did you have
38:49
to come back for reshoots?
38:51
No, I didn't even know there were
38:53
reshoots. No, I thought, no, but I think you had to come
38:55
back to do another scene.
38:57
I was in there in two pieces.
38:59
I came out for like two weeks
39:02
and then
39:03
for like another three weeks. Oh, you won't be here
39:05
for the premiere, will you? No, I think I actually
39:08
will be. Oh, for real? Yeah,
39:10
I think I got that day off, or those days off from the
39:12
flyback from Atlanta. Oh, that's gonna be fun. Yeah.
39:16
I was like bummed if I was gonna have to miss that.
39:18
I definitely wanna be here for that. We're doing
39:20
a lot of, like this whole team is
39:23
doing a lot for it. You
39:26
know how everything is shut down, right?
39:28
Like the writer's joke? No, no, no, like the
39:31
movie was on the shelf.
39:33
Oh, yeah, yeah, because of the
39:35
reward.
39:36
I leaked it on Rogan,
39:37
yeah, I leaked it on Rogan
39:40
and then I think because a lot of that, because it got
39:42
so many views online of just like authentic,
39:45
they were like, you'd leave going like, yeah,
39:47
keep doing what you wanna do. And then I was like, and then
39:49
I talked to, I
39:52
texted with someone privately about how
39:54
cool a
39:55
different type of premiere would be.
39:58
And the guy was like, he was like, Let's
40:00
fucking go. Well, you mean a different type of premier.
40:03
What do I need to know? Turning into a party. Turning into a
40:05
party. Like, make it be like waste management. I'm
40:08
in. Yeah, it's gonna be a fucking blast. Well,
40:10
I'm 95% sure that I'll be here now.
40:14
So, you know,
40:16
what are we wearing? Are we matching?
40:19
Jimmy, don't do that to me. Can
40:22
I get you a matching motorcycle? Are
40:24
you pulling up on a motorcycle? I think so, yeah.
40:26
No way. I think so. I
40:28
think I have a police escort from
40:31
my house through Hollywood. I
40:34
just, there's parts of me, like I was looking
40:36
at Pete Davidson. I don't know. I
40:39
love Pete.
40:40
I don't ever
40:42
want to speak negatively of anyone.
40:44
And so I don't hope this doesn't come off weird. But
40:47
I love Pete,
40:48
but I don't have the part of, I don't
40:50
have the humility maybe that Pete has or
40:53
the
40:54
maybe it's a little bit of
40:56
mental health stuff. But like, he
40:59
definitely wants, he doesn't
41:01
want, strike me as someone who wants to be in the spotlight. Despite
41:04
him being so much in the spotlight, he
41:06
doesn't strike me as someone that wants to be in the spotlight. I
41:09
think
41:10
that's the coolest thing about Hollywood.
41:13
That's the funnest thing is they let you act like a fool.
41:15
They welcome
41:18
the fucking lunatics. Like
41:20
that's what I like. I think the sexiest
41:23
parts of Hollywood is,
41:24
there's like Jack Nicholson
41:27
on court side. And then that becomes
41:29
a thing. And there's
41:31
gotta be a part of Jack that really loves Lakers,
41:33
but also
41:35
loved being the guy.
41:37
You know what I mean? Yeah, I think
41:40
I get what you're saying. I think where I'm different
41:42
in that is like, the
41:45
second I started to have the eyes on
41:47
me, I like kind
41:49
of chain. I got a little more like,
41:51
I
41:52
got a little less outgoing. Was that in
41:54
college or? In college, like I used to be super
41:56
like,
41:57
ah, everyone like telling jokes. Like
41:59
kind of like.
41:59
make a big splash everywhere
42:02
I went. And then the second
42:04
I was famous and people would like, like
42:07
in college, I would walk in and they'd be
42:09
looking at me. I started feeling like, ah,
42:12
ooh. And I got like
42:14
a little more, what's
42:17
it called when you're like, a little more introverted. A little
42:19
more introverted. Can I tell you?
42:21
In public situation, then among my friends
42:23
and you know, same vibe.
42:26
I don't like that I'm this honest I know that
42:28
this is gross, but I'll tell you. When
42:31
I got famous in college, and
42:35
I don't know if it was the same fame you had. It was written
42:37
up in Rolling Stone magazine. Well, I think
42:40
we had a similar
42:43
college experience. I don't think there's
42:45
many people that have had similar college
42:47
experiences, but like
42:49
when I was in college,
42:51
I started making videos for college
42:53
kids, like in an era where YouTube videos
42:55
were not like that big of a
42:57
thing. It was like me and college humor that made
42:59
college sketches. So it became super
43:02
famous amongst college kids. And
43:04
I still lived in college and I'm making videos
43:06
about fraternity people. And I lived in a fraternity and
43:08
it was like living. I lived in my
43:10
demographic
43:12
and that was like, I
43:14
was the most famous I'll ever be
43:16
in that like time period. Oh yeah. For
43:19
being like a party guy. Especially in
43:21
the world you're around. Yeah, and so
43:23
you were the same thing. That's
43:25
a really interesting statement.
43:27
I don't
43:30
think I've ever been as famous as I was when
43:32
that article came out in that surrounding. Right,
43:34
because you're in your demographic. It would be
43:36
like, if
43:37
Justin Bieber
43:38
lived in a community with
43:44
a bunch of like high school girls. Yeah,
43:47
the truth is. That's a weird analogy. Maybe
43:49
let's look. Wait,
43:53
have you partied with him yet?
43:54
Uh, no,
43:57
no, I've met him.
43:59
I would be interested to pick that kid's
44:02
brain.
44:03
Yeah. Yeah, well,
44:05
I was like that with Logan Paul. I really wanted to
44:07
meet Logan and Jake Paul because I
44:09
still wanna meet Jake but met Logan. And
44:12
I was interested to, because as
44:14
a comedian you can talk to someone and
44:17
understand who they are without having to ask
44:19
them the questions that you need to get to understand
44:21
who they are. And it was really fascinating
44:23
to me.
44:24
The most fascinating thing to me about
44:27
Logan Paul, who's gonna sound like crazy,
44:30
amazing Out Loud reader.
44:32
Amazing what reader? Out Loud, I'm not a good
44:35
Out Loud reader. I don't know if that's what it's called.
44:37
When you read Out Loud. Where'd you meet him, book club?
44:40
What do you mean Amazing
44:42
Out Loud reader? He
44:47
just read Out Loud really well, really
44:49
well, like really well. Like
44:51
his mom must have books around the house and there
44:53
were kids. Like I just like, he was
44:56
a really good Out Loud reader.
44:58
Like it caught me
45:00
off, it was out of all the things I could tell you about
45:02
Logan Paul, Amazing Out Loud reader.
45:06
What was he reading Out Loud? It doesn't matter,
45:08
it's just reading Out Loud and
45:10
I just watched it happen and I went, wow. If you watched
45:13
me read Out Loud. I get it now. If you watched Tom
45:15
Zagura read Out Loud, you'd go English ones in his first language. Tom
45:18
Zagura is such a bad Out Loud reader that like
45:21
it's comical, and he gets
45:23
spooked the way like a fourth grader would.
45:27
Do you remember the kids in fourth grade who had to read
45:29
Out Loud? They'd be like, um.
45:31
Oh yeah. Boo
45:33
Radley never came
45:35
out. What's that
45:37
word, man? This is tough. Yeah, yeah, I was bad
45:39
at it. I was a kid in class, just like, oh my God, just
45:42
pass it, pass it to someone else. Please don't make
45:44
me read Out Loud.
45:45
And certain kids killed
45:47
it. Mel Rudolph. I thrived. You
45:50
were a good Out Loud reader? Oh yeah, I used
45:52
to read, I used to read like
45:54
so many, when I was like 12 to,
45:59
from like. I read, one year I tried
46:02
to read 100 books and
46:05
I got to like 70 and I didn't
46:08
hit my goal and
46:11
I was bummed. Really? Yeah, I was
46:13
the guy that would like get there, I'd go to the midnight Harry
46:15
Potter release and I'd crush
46:18
Harry Potter in like 48 hours. So
46:20
then I'd get to school, no one would spoil
46:22
it for me because no one would know shit before I did.
46:26
That was how much I used to care about reading. For
46:29
real? Yeah. What was the
46:31
last book you read recently? I read, I just read the Rick
46:33
Rubin book. Wonderful.
46:36
For real? Oh yeah. Because I'm
46:38
looking for a book, like I don't read it. If
46:40
you said 100 books
46:43
in my lifetime, not even remotely
46:45
close, I maybe read probably 25 books.
46:49
I read, the
46:50
most recent fiction book I read was called 1Q84, very
46:52
good.
46:55
And then I read. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know if
46:57
you'd like that one. What is it about? I
46:59
mean, it's good. It's like kind of like
47:01
a love story. Pass, keep going.
47:05
But it's very well done. And then. Is
47:07
it like, do people kill people? Japanese? No,
47:10
no.
47:12
It's interesting. I don't know if it's
47:14
your vibe. Oh, Haruki Maru. Yeah,
47:16
he's. I
47:19
stopped just short of the hate crime. Yeah.
47:22
But the creative act by
47:24
Rick Rubin. Did you have to read that for a movie? No,
47:26
no, I just. Why would you?
47:29
Why would that? I don't know. Rick Rubin
47:31
is just a very. No, no, no, Rick Rubin I get. But
47:33
I don't know how that would get in front of
47:35
you. I like, I
47:37
just like, I wanted to read a fiction book.
47:40
I can only read so many like nonfiction
47:42
books before I'm just like. I am only nonfiction.
47:45
So this one, read that one. Okay.
47:47
Can someone write that down?
47:50
I just bought. He's like a fucking
47:52
Buddha. He's. If you're
47:55
like a creative or an artist. Did you
47:57
hear him on Rogan? No, but a
47:59
lot of this. I saw a clip and a lot of what he talked
48:01
about is like,
48:03
literally, I liked the book so much. I should have had you
48:05
do right before. I was highlighting like every,
48:08
like one quote a page, just
48:10
like, oh my God, I need to remember this. And I gave my Kindle
48:12
to my assistant and I said, get a digital picture
48:15
frame and fucking put
48:17
all of the quotes I highlighted
48:19
on the digital picture frame and just have that shit
48:21
rotate. So that like when I'm at my office,
48:23
I can just, every now and now I go grab a coffee,
48:25
but
48:26
great. Wait, can I get those pictures
48:28
sent to me? And then I don't have to read the book. I can just read the good
48:31
parts. Yeah, I can do that. Wait, do
48:33
you have a, do you have, do you have the. She
48:35
has a document. She could probably send you with all
48:37
of the quotes that I highlighted that I liked
48:39
the best. There's like 180. Can you just do that?
48:41
And then don't worry about the book. Yeah. Can
48:44
you do that for all your books?
48:46
Hang on, that's a really fun business model.
48:48
Where I just, I just read it and. And just tell
48:51
us the good stuff. Right. Spark
48:53
notes, but gym, gym, gym notes. Gym notes.
48:55
And it's just the, it's the things that inspire you. Like
48:57
I do that with coaches quotes. I
49:00
write out like, I love coaches.
49:02
I love, I'm very coachable. And so I love
49:04
a good coach. Who's your favorite coach? Jimmy
49:06
Johnson.
49:07
Jimmy Johnson, just for me,
49:09
everything about him.
49:11
And he just is a guy that's got, he
49:14
said something one time.
49:17
Jimmy Johnson said,
49:21
what was this? What
49:23
was his line? Fucking
49:26
on my phone. What about coach Carter? Did you like
49:28
coach Carter? Coach Carter. The
49:31
movie? No, no, I don't know what
49:34
coach Carter is. Did Jamie L. Jackson coach
49:36
Carter? No, I never saw that. My basketball coach saw
49:38
that in high school and just completely ruined
49:40
all
49:41
of our lives because he just wanted to be so much
49:43
like coach Carter. And
49:46
it sucked. Wait, what was coach
49:48
Carter like? Coach Carter was like the guy who was like, we're
49:50
not gonna touch the basketball for two weeks because we're gonna
49:52
do fundamentals and conditioning. And our coach
49:54
was like, oh wow, fuck yeah, coach
49:56
Carter. And then we just practice sucked
49:58
for the next three.
52:00
and I'm glad I didn't,
52:02
but I'll tell you what, there was a guy one time who
52:04
asked me to take a shot, Buddy Hackett asked me if I'd take
52:07
a shot with him, and I just wasn't drinking at
52:09
the time because I was trying to be healthy, and I didn't
52:11
take a shot with him,
52:12
and I was like, fuck, I
52:14
kinda wish I'd taken a shot with Buddy Hackett. Buddy
52:17
Hackett? Yeah. That's a name.
52:19
Well, I ended up drinking with him a different time after
52:22
that, luckily.
52:23
It was the most disgusting shot I've ever had in
52:25
my entire life. Buddy Hackett sounds
52:27
like a dude that you do up with. But you don't know Buddy Hackett is? Oh,
52:30
you don't know Buddy Hackett is? I don't. Oh,
52:33
Buddy Hackett. Oh, this guy, dude, that's fucking
52:35
Curly.
52:36
No, no, no. Is
52:39
that not Curly from The Three Stooges? No, it's
52:41
not, no, Buddy Hackett,
52:43
Buddy Hackett was. What am I thinking of that he
52:45
was in? He
52:47
pulled up his IMDb, he was in everything.
52:52
I mean, he was really big
52:54
on Carson. He'd go on Carson,
52:56
and
52:57
what's the race movie they did?
53:01
It's gonna be at the very top.
53:04
I'm confused, I know him from something.
53:06
The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.
53:12
Herbie the Love Bug. He
53:15
was the voice of Paulie. Oh,
53:18
I see what you're saying now. This is a
53:20
guy you gotta. It's like, he's old
53:22
school Hollywood. Yeah. And
53:25
I ended up doing a shot with him. He used to
53:27
pour his own alcohol in a flask
53:30
and carry it around with him, and it was like tequila,
53:32
gin. It was a mix he liked, and
53:36
I ended up doing a shot with him one time, but
53:38
that moment I didn't do the shot, I went, fuck.
53:41
But when it comes to doing shots, I
53:43
have to stop. I can't do, I ended up
53:45
doing shots with a guy named Style Bender
53:48
in New Zealand, and it was the best shot I've ever
53:50
had. Me and him challenged a whole bar to a fist fight.
53:53
It was a pretty fucking great moment. We stood up back
53:55
to back, and he was like, I
53:57
thought he was doing, I thought he was doing a Steve.
53:59
Harvey routine,
54:01
but he wasn't, he was just talking. And
54:03
there's a Steve Harvey, you ever seen Steve Harvey talk about his wife
54:05
Marjorie? No. Oh dude, you
54:08
wanna talk about love? This is, I know you're
54:10
in love. Pull up Steve Harvey and Marjorie.
54:12
This is like, this gets me emotional,
54:15
because this is how I feel about Leanne, but
54:17
he,
54:20
Steve Harvey and Marjorie,
54:24
oh, you're never gonna find it, you're never gonna
54:26
find it, it's too hard to find. But he goes, I'm hers
54:28
and she mine. I'll
54:32
find every motherfucker in here for her.
54:34
Like that's like a really cool thing. I thought that's
54:36
what Style Bender was doing. I
54:39
thought he was going to hum his and his mom. And I don't
54:41
know why I thought I was pretty fucking wasted. And
54:43
so I started going around the bar going, well fuck
54:45
everyone up in here, say something
54:48
now. And then I realized there were a couple of tables
54:50
that would be difficult. So I just started doing it to women's
54:52
tables.
54:54
Say something and everyone started
54:56
laughing, because it's the fat guy and then it got
54:58
clearly in shape and we're in New Zealand, everyone
55:00
knows who he is.
55:01
And everyone's like, we're not fighting the middleweight
55:04
champion of the world and this
55:06
drunk white guy. And then I bought the
55:09
whole bar rounds of shots. And then we all
55:11
drank a shot of Buffalo Trace.
55:13
And then I bought him another round of shots. When you buy
55:15
the whole bar shots, do not
55:18
look at that check. What
55:20
did that come out to? I didn't look at it, you don't look
55:22
at those checks. You enjoy the
55:24
moment
55:25
and then you just, you walk away from it.
55:29
You enjoy the moment and walk away from it.
55:31
I've had a couple of those, were you just, like
55:35
I'll tell you, were you there for the wine tasting
55:37
night in Serbia? Yeah.
55:39
I never looked at that bill,
55:41
because it was a fun fucking night and
55:44
you don't need to know. Yeah. And you just, all
55:46
you know is that you don't want anyone to
55:48
run out of booze,
55:50
you wanna make sure you have good glasses and you want everyone
55:52
to experience it. And if I'm sitting
55:54
there thinking about a price tag on
55:55
it, then I'll be like, oh fuck, this is, why
55:58
am I doing this? Yeah.
55:59
So do you remember the night?
56:02
Do
56:04
you remember the night? The night? Yeah.
56:08
The night that,
56:10
yeah. The fucking, the
56:13
night. The night. Ahh! With
56:15
the fucking sparklers and the joker
56:17
dude flying down the ladder
56:19
and. God, I wish I had any footage
56:22
of that. Oh, I got footage. For
56:24
real? Oh yeah.
56:26
It was. I took a few videos
56:28
of like the, cause that was just like, holy
56:31
shit, what is this place? Funny
56:33
thing, this is how you know you're in another country. Wait,
56:35
can you describe it as best you can so people
56:38
like listening know? Yes, we get
56:40
there and it was like a. It's on
56:42
the water. It was a cabaret. It was a cabaret club. Cabaret
56:44
club on the water in Serbia.
56:46
And there was, when we first got
56:49
there, it was like a very like
56:50
kind of tame
56:51
cabaret style performance with a bunch
56:54
of dancers, all
56:56
just magnificently in sync.
56:59
And then it started getting a little crazier and
57:01
then they had props and they had like all
57:03
this stuff. And then, and then next thing you
57:05
know, there's like a joker
57:08
type character who's running around
57:10
terrorizing the bar and like doing
57:12
this crazy like
57:14
routine,
57:16
sliding down the ladder. And then they started
57:18
giving out sparklers. And this is when I knew we
57:21
were in a different country cause they gave out fire
57:25
indoors. And then they
57:27
gave out all this fake money to throw.
57:30
So they literally in one moment were like, now's
57:32
the time where we light fire
57:35
and we throw paper into the air.
57:38
And there's sparklers falling. People
57:40
are dropping sparklers. People are dropping sparklers. I'm like this
57:43
is the biggest fire
57:45
safety risk I've ever seen.
57:46
The look is smokey. The look on your
57:48
face was fucking priceless.
57:51
There's a moment, I remember, it
57:53
must've been from
57:54
Peter's video or something where you were sparkling
57:57
your money and you have a drink and you're just looking around like,
57:59
the fuck you. I was like, because it just turned
58:01
into like, we were like having dinner.
58:04
We were having dinner there. And then we started
58:06
dancing, and then all of a sudden,
58:09
everyone had sparklers, and it was like that epic song.
58:16
And I was just like, ah! I just felt
58:18
like, yeah! I
58:21
didn't look at that check. Yeah,
58:23
I bet. I wouldn't have looked at that one either.
58:26
But look on your, I have a video of you, and you're like,
58:29
ah! For real? Yeah. I
58:31
don't, that night was fucking so many of those nights. I remember,
58:34
if I'm not mistaken, you walked home with Martin and asked
58:36
if you could carry him.
58:37
You
58:40
go, can I lift you up? I was straight up asking
58:42
him, I was like, so you're on steroids, right?
58:47
He wasn't really liking it too much. I realized
58:49
that like in the morning, I was like, I was kind
58:51
of asking him a lot of questions about steroids.
58:54
And he was just like, not really feeling it.
58:58
He'll be out here for the premiere. Oh, hell
59:00
yeah. Yeah, he's a fucking,
59:02
is this the place we were at? I think so. Dude,
59:05
I have the video right here. Wait, send it to Halston. What?
59:08
Send it to, text it to Halston. Okay.
59:11
Do your airdrop on Halston? It's doing that thing,
59:13
you know how videos have to like load now? Oh,
59:15
god damn it.
59:24
Oh yeah. That was a
59:27
fucking. Wait, should I airdrop this?
59:30
Can I ask you a weird question? Is the,
59:34
as a guy in a committed relationship,
59:36
does not
59:38
hooking up with a strange chick
59:41
take away from those evenings at all?
59:43
No, that's like honestly the last thing on my
59:45
mind. I was thinking of that like, because no
59:47
one hooked up with anyone. Everyone was in committed
59:49
relationships. No. Everyone just went
59:51
home.
59:51
And I don't think it takes away, but I have
59:54
friends. No. If you're getting laid,
59:56
can't do that. Yeah, and I don't get that. I
59:58
don't get the people that are like, they're just.
59:59
just to like
1:00:01
hook up with chicks and get laid. Like
1:00:03
when I'm going out, literally all I'm there to
1:00:05
do is dance. If there's a fucking
1:00:07
dance floor, that's all I want. I just
1:00:09
want to fucking, I just want good music and
1:00:11
just to dance my ass off and to be
1:00:13
drenched in sweat and get home, be like, that
1:00:15
was fucking awesome. It's 4.30 in the morning. Let's
1:00:18
go to sleep. Really? Yeah.
1:00:23
Like I was just at Coachella and like
1:00:26
at Coachella,
1:00:28
I am just dancing for 72 hours
1:00:30
straight. For real? Oh yeah. So wait, hold
1:00:32
on. You went to Coachella this year? I go over here. It's
1:00:34
like my 12th time. I know Blink 182 is
1:00:36
there, right? Yeah, I
1:00:38
didn't see them because they were
1:00:41
too far away from the other stuff I was seeing. Like
1:00:43
what kind of music are you into? Like I went
1:00:45
to, I
1:00:48
don't know how to say it. I like a lot of
1:00:50
shit. Like I like Kate Renata,
1:00:52
Anderson Pack. I
1:00:54
like Rufus De Soul. I like Tom
1:00:57
Nitz. I don't know one of those people. Right.
1:00:59
But like so. Bjork, I would
1:01:01
have seen Bjork in a heartbeat. I saw Burna
1:01:04
Boy. He was fucking sick. I saw Chemical Brothers,
1:01:06
Kate Renata.
1:01:08
I saw SG, Eric Prids.
1:01:10
Like
1:01:13
I saw like probably 20 shows. So
1:01:16
do you like more like industrial
1:01:18
music or like? I like a lot. I like electronic
1:01:21
stuff. And then I also like. I like,
1:01:23
what is it? Like 120 beats per minute.
1:01:27
Whatever that is at that pace really
1:01:30
allows me to stop thinking. Someone
1:01:33
had
1:01:34
a party that
1:01:36
we were listening to music. And someone
1:01:38
was like, and I was like, whoa, what is
1:01:40
this? And then I tapped out for
1:01:43
the next song or whatever. And then it came back
1:01:45
and I went, what is this? Someone that knew
1:01:47
a lot about music goes, oh,
1:01:48
he's going to find your groove, man. You're 120 beats per minute.
1:01:51
That stuck with me forever. So
1:01:53
I think a faster paced thing. I like, I
1:01:55
don't like things that are just like this fucking
1:01:58
the same. Like.
1:01:59
Yeah. I like
1:02:02
more dynamic stuff that changes. You
1:02:05
can do that for a little bit and then you can shift and
1:02:08
groove a little more.
1:02:11
Disco is making kind of an interesting
1:02:14
disco house kind of a vibe
1:02:16
right now. Really? Yeah, it's fun. Wait,
1:02:19
so did you see any like... I
1:02:21
don't mean that Burna Boy isn't an actual
1:02:23
artist, but... Burna Boy is the biggest
1:02:26
artist in Africa.
1:02:28
And it's a huge blind spot for America.
1:02:31
That's why I was interested in seeing Burna Boy because
1:02:33
I know in Africa he's
1:02:35
like the way
1:02:36
Cristiano Ronaldo is in Europe.
1:02:39
Wait, is it soccer player?
1:02:40
You know Cristiano Ronaldo. The soccer
1:02:42
player? Yeah. Yeah. So
1:02:45
like the way they worship him... Oh, you just mean... Okay.
1:02:48
I'm just comparing. Like we don't really have anyone in America that
1:02:50
we're like, fucking, that's our guy. But
1:02:52
like Burna Boy is
1:02:54
massive, but he's just a huge blind spot. So
1:02:56
I really wanted to see...
1:02:59
It's like Bad Bunny or... Bad
1:03:02
Bunny is all... Bad Bunny is like... Yeah,
1:03:05
and I know one... Not no one, but I never heard of
1:03:07
him. And then all of a sudden they're like, oh,
1:03:09
he sold out nine dot dot dots. And I was like...
1:03:12
Yeah, he's... He's like,
1:03:14
this is crazy.
1:03:15
Burna Boy is a... Burna Boy is a rock star. He's
1:03:17
like a legit fucking... Yeah, he's dope.
1:03:20
Oh, wow. And so what does he do? Is
1:03:22
it like singing or is it... He's got a lot of
1:03:24
songs that are kind of like... He's a big Afro
1:03:27
Beats guy. Yeah. Which
1:03:29
is fun. You
1:03:31
might like Afro Beats.
1:03:34
Like that song
1:03:36
Last Last is good.
1:03:39
That's crazy that you can be huge in a different country
1:03:41
and in America. It's almost like... It is
1:03:44
kind of cool when you don't know
1:03:46
of someone. There's
1:03:49
so many people that I see that
1:03:51
have like 45
1:03:51
million followers that I've
1:03:54
never heard of before. And I'm just
1:03:56
like, how is that possible? Like to be
1:03:58
that famous?
1:03:59
I've never even heard of you. It's
1:04:01
a weird thing when you go like, to
1:04:04
live in oblivion,
1:04:07
I go, yeah, I've never heard of that at all. It's
1:04:10
an empowering thing in a weird way, where you go
1:04:12
like, almost like, you
1:04:14
can stop playing this Halston, I can't hear it.
1:04:17
I know I'm not gonna put him on. I'm not gonna
1:04:19
see if I like, that's like being on a state
1:04:22
and go, no, you should listen to Frank Black, you'll like
1:04:24
him. And then you're like, wow, this is apparently music you gotta get
1:04:26
into. Like you don't know who Frank Black is probably.
1:04:28
I don't know. Frank Black was the lead singer
1:04:30
of the Pixies. And he DM'd me recently, it's not
1:04:32
a big deal.
1:04:34
And so, but like, it's crazy when you
1:04:37
don't know something. Yeah. That's
1:04:39
why- And everyone else knows it and then it's
1:04:41
like, but it's a, my wife says
1:04:43
it's the arrogance of a loser,
1:04:45
to be like, yeah, I don't know that shit, whatever.
1:04:48
And then go, okay, so like,
1:04:49
the whole world does, but you don't,
1:04:51
maybe if you give it a try, you might
1:04:53
like it. Like that's what,
1:04:56
when we left
1:04:56
Serbia and I was like,
1:04:58
it was when I found out I didn't know any of your music.
1:05:01
And I was like, well, maybe if I, maybe
1:05:02
I'm turning into an old man, maybe I need to
1:05:04
try to broaden my, what
1:05:07
I like a little bit. Cause it's
1:05:09
not, it's cool to like something that
1:05:12
you've never heard of. All of a sudden you're
1:05:14
into something and like, oh fuck.
1:05:16
Yeah, like I think what I love so much about going
1:05:18
to festivals like Coachella is like,
1:05:21
you see a bunch of people that you would never
1:05:23
make the effort to go see on
1:05:25
their own.
1:05:26
Like I probably wouldn't have gone to a Burna boy concert,
1:05:29
I probably wouldn't have gone to see like, you
1:05:32
know, the chemical brothers or
1:05:34
Eric Prids. Like I wasn't even that familiar
1:05:36
with, with the chemical brothers. And then I went to their show
1:05:38
and I was like,
1:05:39
oh my God, they're like visuals
1:05:41
were like,
1:05:42
like an art film. I was just standing there like,
1:05:45
totally
1:05:47
sober. Is it, this is how, oh, is
1:05:49
this the video? Yeah, this
1:05:51
is us in Serbia.
1:05:53
God beat me up,
1:05:56
ooh ooh ooh, everybody's got fire
1:05:58
on their hands. This will get in there. It really turns
1:06:01
out in like 15 seconds. Wait
1:06:08
for it. This
1:06:19
was fucking crazy. Oh,
1:06:31
this was a fucking night. Yeah.
1:06:40
I'm
1:06:42
trying to get them to buy the machine two and three right
1:06:44
now. Well, how would that even
1:06:46
go? Just buy them.
1:06:50
I was going to ask you now that the machine,
1:06:52
the movie is coming out.
1:06:55
Are you going to retire
1:06:58
the story? I
1:07:04
guess you have to come to the top soft fault tour to find out.
1:07:12
I don't think I don't mean I don't think so. I
1:07:14
don't know. And I mean, look, the movie does moderately
1:07:17
well than no, because, you know, you
1:07:20
can tell you how little I know about movies. Do you do
1:07:23
you get tired of telling the story? No,
1:07:25
I don't get.
1:07:27
I don't have a problem. I don't have a problem
1:07:29
telling the story at all at all. Literally
1:07:31
at all. But like there's no part of you that
1:07:34
like,
1:07:35
if I, if I tell a story multiple times, if
1:07:38
I'm like, I
1:07:39
don't know, I start to feel like, I don't
1:07:41
know. The like, I just start
1:07:43
to get in my own head about saying it again. No.
1:07:47
Yeah, but I do it, but
1:07:48
I do it for a living living. It's
1:07:50
like,
1:07:52
you know, it's the other thing is it's like I
1:07:55
had a, it was a growth period of like,
1:07:58
I retired the story in 2000.
1:07:59
I think 16.
1:08:01
So I'm never telling it again. And then that
1:08:03
January that the machine story
1:08:05
went viral.
1:08:07
And in 2017, I did my first show and I was done
1:08:09
telling it. I
1:08:12
had retired it. And
1:08:15
they were all yelling the machine. And
1:08:17
I'd already done like an hour and 15.
1:08:19
I had a second show that night.
1:08:20
And I was like,
1:08:22
and it was sold out in a blizzard. And
1:08:24
I was like, oh no, no, I retired that story. And
1:08:26
the guy goes, the fuck you did? I
1:08:29
just saw that on fucking Facebook, dude. That's the
1:08:31
only reason we're here. I got 12 fucking people, tell the
1:08:33
fucking story.
1:08:34
And I was like, oh, okay. And then I realized once
1:08:36
that went viral that there were people bringing people to
1:08:39
the shows to hear it for the first
1:08:41
time. So I saw I'll do this one run and
1:08:43
then I'll retire it. And then
1:08:45
the venues got bigger.
1:08:46
And they got bigger and bigger.
1:08:49
And I mean, I
1:08:50
jokingly said when I was in
1:08:52
theaters, I go, this run at theaters,
1:08:54
this for body shots
1:08:56
tour. I said, this run at theaters
1:08:59
and I'm done. Because
1:09:00
I was like, you can't add more. Like I'm doing two
1:09:03
shows a night, four shows in some venues.
1:09:06
Four a night? Four, no, four shows
1:09:08
like
1:09:09
two Saturday, two Friday. Oh, wow. And
1:09:11
so in like Minneapolis, I did six shows in
1:09:14
theaters. And so I was like, so this is it.
1:09:16
And then you go to bigger theaters. Now you're in theaters
1:09:19
and you're moving more tickets. And right now I'm
1:09:21
doing arenas. And so I'm like, and
1:09:23
I'm doing arenas in countries that
1:09:26
I've never, like, started doing arenas
1:09:28
in Australia.
1:09:29
And I'm like, okay, that's new fans. That's new
1:09:31
people that have never heard me tell the story
1:09:33
live. And I know how I feel
1:09:35
as a fan
1:09:37
when I wanna see something,
1:09:40
when I'm excited to see something and
1:09:42
it doesn't show up, I get
1:09:44
bummed. And then here's the crazier part. So
1:09:46
I'm with Ron White. You probably aren't familiar, but Ron White has
1:09:49
maybe the best story told in standup comedy
1:09:51
called Tater Salad. It's fucking
1:09:53
a perfect story. It's perfect.
1:09:56
And so I was doing Joe's Club, Joe's New
1:09:58
Club comedy mothership.
1:09:59
and I was just doing new material,
1:10:02
it's a club. I would never tell the machine in a club. And
1:10:06
they were losing their minds for the machine. And
1:10:08
I was like, guys, I'm definitely
1:10:10
not telling that story. And they were like, come on,
1:10:13
the machine.
1:10:14
And so I said, I'll tell you what,
1:10:16
I'll tell the machine if Ron White tells Tater Salad.
1:10:19
And the place went fucking
1:10:22
bananas. And they're like, wait,
1:10:24
Ron White's in here?
1:10:26
Because he's upstairs, he's hiding. They're
1:10:28
like, Ron White's in here, and he's about to tell Tater Salad.
1:10:31
Ron White comes on stage,
1:10:32
tells Tater Salad, the place goes fucking
1:10:36
ape shit. And then I realized
1:10:38
I can't follow that. With
1:10:41
the machine, I ended up doing 15 more minutes of new material
1:10:44
and then slide in the machine.
1:10:46
But like it was, and so, and the
1:10:48
other thing is, and there's a
1:10:50
lot of people would give you their opposing opinions,
1:10:54
is
1:10:55
when I say,
1:10:57
it's pretty cool when you say, when I was 22 years old, I
1:10:59
got involved with the Russian mafia and you hear 19,000
1:11:02
people fucking explode.
1:11:05
It's a cool feeling. It's like,
1:11:07
I was saying to someone the
1:11:09
other day,
1:11:10
I was listening to someone talk about when I take
1:11:12
my shirt off. When I take my shirt off,
1:11:14
that energy is so fucking,
1:11:18
I would say palatable, but I don't know what that word means.
1:11:21
But like so fucking
1:11:23
visceral, so real, they're like,
1:11:25
I'll never stop taking my fucking shirt off. And
1:11:28
listen, when the energy changes and the energy
1:11:30
shifts, then
1:11:33
I'll reconsider, but I think, I
1:11:35
mean, I said to someone, they go, what
1:11:38
are your expectations for the machine opening day
1:11:40
weekend? And I was saying on
1:11:42
press, 152 million opening day
1:11:44
weekend, do you know how ridiculous
1:11:46
that is? I didn't know that. So
1:11:49
you wanted to be bigger than
1:11:51
Top Gun Maverick. And
1:11:54
I went, is that how big that is? And they're like,
1:11:56
it made 120 million. And I went, whoa,
1:11:59
I won't be that.
1:11:59
And you go, wow, this is going to be huge then. Holy
1:12:03
shit, 150. That's
1:12:05
record breaking numbers. Wow.
1:12:08
I had no idea the machine was going to be that big. That's
1:12:10
going to be crazy. This
1:12:13
podcast is sponsored by maybe my
1:12:15
favorite sponsor, Mad Rabbit.
1:12:17
They make the best tattoo
1:12:19
bomb.
1:12:20
And that's right, I said tattoo because I'm unique.
1:12:23
And that's how I say the word tattoo. I think it was because
1:12:25
most of my early learning
1:12:28
of the word was on Benny Hill. And
1:12:30
that's how they say it over in London, tattoo. And
1:12:33
so I think that's where it came from. And
1:12:35
I keep it that way. But this is what Mad Rabbit has the
1:12:38
best tattoo bomb you're ever going
1:12:40
to find. And they're cool. They're cool
1:12:42
because they still sponsor the show. And
1:12:44
I pronounce their entire
1:12:47
business model incorrectly.
1:12:49
Here's the deal. Weather's getting nice. And
1:12:51
we're starting to spend a little more time outdoors and in the sun.
1:12:54
And if you know what I mean, tattoos are
1:12:56
in full view. You got to check out Mad
1:12:58
Rabbit. Mad Rabbit is committed to reinventing tattoo
1:13:00

1:13:02

1:13:10

1:13:19

1:13:22
ink. It's effective on both old and new tattoos
1:13:24
and skins of all type. We got that for Leanne. We
1:13:26
got in the thing. I don't have any tattoos. Maybe
1:13:28
because I say it wrong. Plus, they've got all
1:13:31
the products you need
1:13:32
for your tattoo, from a tattoo sunscreen
1:13:34
to a tattoo soothing gel and more.
1:13:37
In April 2021, just two
1:13:39
years in a Mad Rabbit's existence, they
1:13:41
became a carbon neutral company. I got this
1:13:43
for Georgia. Georgia got a tattoo. We got into a big fight.
1:13:45
And then I ended the fight by sending
1:13:48
her a bunch of Mad Rabbit products.
1:13:50
And now she loves me. And all her friends love me. So
1:13:52
when you think tattoo care, think Mad
1:13:55
Rabbit. Think Mad Rabbit. They've
1:13:57
preserved over 1.5 million tattoos. And

1:14:24
the size like
1:14:26
it feels like a fucking Massive
1:14:30
Movie like it is a huge.
1:14:32
It feels like a fucking Marvel movie level
1:14:34
movie like it's big. Yeah It's
1:14:37
I want the very opening
1:14:40
scene of
1:14:41
like the movie You know when it like
1:14:43
I was like I remember being thing going. Oh, this isn't
1:14:46
what I thought I was signing up for Yeah, I
1:14:48
can I was like oh fuck. This is no Peter
1:14:50
fucking crushed it Peter crushed it
1:14:52
He crushed it. I think he didn't have he didn't
1:14:54
have to go that hard Like one of those
1:14:57
things where you're like you didn't have to you didn't have to do you
1:14:59
didn't have to go that hard I I'll
1:15:01
tell you the way I think the people
1:15:03
will process the movie
1:15:05
is I
1:15:07
Think they're gonna well, this is a great movie and Bert
1:15:09
didn't fuck it up
1:15:10
Like that was you know when we
1:15:12
when we did testing it like
1:15:14
it tested extremely well like through
1:15:16
the roof. Mm-hmm, and they said
1:15:20
What's your number one takeaway? From
1:15:22
this movie and everyone was
1:15:24
like he can he's not
1:15:27
ruining the movie with his acting
1:15:29
Which is like a huge compliment because
1:15:31
you have seen guys that go in and
1:15:33
do a movie and and they're and and so
1:15:35
I was like and so if I don't Fuck
1:15:38
like if that doesn't like draw you out of
1:15:40
the movie then all the stuff that's in the movie
1:15:42
like you murdering Fucking Eva's
1:15:44
fucking amazing. She really she's
1:15:46
fucking amazing in it My mark mark
1:15:49
Hamill's great the fucking and it
1:15:51
looks beautiful It's it the shots
1:15:53
are just like so well
1:15:55
done And I also the thing that initially
1:15:58
drew me into the project
1:15:59
besides
1:15:59
the fact that it was an awesome story and you know,
1:16:02
all that was just the way
1:16:05
the script turned it from
1:16:07
your story into
1:16:09
a movie. Yeah. I just think
1:16:11
is like
1:16:12
the way that was done, I just think was,
1:16:15
I can't imagine a better way to
1:16:17
turn it into like an actual movie. Yeah.
1:16:20
I'm excited. I don't know. So
1:16:22
when you go to like the screening, will you sit
1:16:24
and watch it or are you just going to go sit and drink?
1:16:28
Well, like at the premiere?
1:16:30
Yeah. I like to watch it in the crowd.
1:16:33
Yeah. You
1:16:36
know, I saw
1:16:37
it for the first time. I just saw it was just me,
1:16:40
my girlfriend and my friend, Mike. Your girlfriend texted
1:16:42
me. It was very sweet of her. She did. Her
1:16:45
DM'd me or whatever. She really enjoyed it. Yeah. And
1:16:48
I didn't think she was going to. I didn't think she was going to either. Yeah.
1:16:52
I mean, it's like, it's like, I can get,
1:16:55
like, I can get, there's a lot of people I can get, like,
1:16:58
she, I, she must've DM'd me. She definitely
1:17:00
not my number, but
1:17:02
she, she was, yeah, she liked it. And she, I was, I was like, anytime
1:17:04
anyone likes anything I do, like razzledazzles
1:17:07
are a perfect example, but everything I do, I sit
1:17:09
and I go, is that fucking, does
1:17:11
this even good? Like the
1:17:13
cabin, I couldn't even sit through.
1:17:14
I couldn't even sit through the edit. They'd
1:17:17
send edits and I just gave it to Leanne
1:17:19
and go, can you just give me, give him my notes? Yeah.
1:17:23
I'm like, it's, I'm so embarrassed
1:17:25
because I don't,
1:17:26
I like being in the moment. I like making stuff,
1:17:29
but with, I'm not good at editing and I'm also
1:17:31
not good at giving notes. Yeah. And
1:17:33
I
1:17:34
remember one night I'm in bed and I hear Leanne cackling.
1:17:36
This is during the pandemic. Cackling
1:17:38
when anyone's looking for anything good to watch, she's
1:17:40
cackling in the living room.
1:17:42
So I come out and she's watching the cabin
1:17:45
and I go, what are you laughing at? She goes, this is
1:17:47
fucking hilarious.
1:17:48
I go, it is? She was like, you were there. How
1:17:50
do you not know that? I go, I don't know. My
1:17:53
favorite parts of the movie are you and it because
1:17:55
I have no connection to that. I'm
1:17:58
jealous of the scenes you do. I go, those are fucking
1:18:01
like, I'm not gonna
1:18:03
spoil things, but I watched it. I
1:18:05
was like, oh, fucking.
1:18:06
So that's, you know. Those were
1:18:08
some fun ones. I think when you do edit
1:18:11
though, you get better at watching yourself objectively.
1:18:13
Cause I mean, I'm making YouTube videos
1:18:16
for song, I have
1:18:18
to watch my own shit over and over and over again.
1:18:20
I'm editing all these videos. And
1:18:22
by the end, I definitely hate it. Like I definitely wanna, by
1:18:24
the time I upload it, I'm sitting there and I'm like, just
1:18:27
dead face. Just like, yeah, that's
1:18:29
really funny. No,
1:18:32
that's not good.
1:18:34
Okay, now it works. That's
1:18:37
hilarious. And then I upload it and like,
1:18:39
give me the fuck away from this thing. And then I can watch it like
1:18:41
later on and be like, okay, yeah. I'm like that
1:18:43
with a new joke. Like a new joke, when you get
1:18:45
a new joke, you get really,
1:18:47
really excited about it. And then you
1:18:49
tell it a couple of times, you're like, why are they laughing
1:18:51
at this part?
1:18:53
Right, like, or like a part that you weren't expecting them to laugh.
1:18:55
Yeah, and you're like, what? I don't get it.
1:18:57
Am I saying it different? Like, I
1:18:59
used to have this joke about
1:19:02
black baby powder. They should make black baby powder. Cause
1:19:05
all the white stuff just stands out. I
1:19:08
go, and I say to a white guy, when
1:19:10
you put it on, it blends in. But when he
1:19:12
puts it on, I point to a black guy, he goes, he's gotta
1:19:14
go ride the whip. And it
1:19:17
made no sense. And they would laugh
1:19:19
so hard. And then I remember one time someone
1:19:21
backstage goes,
1:19:22
why do you think they laugh at that part? And I go, why? What
1:19:25
are you saying? And he goes, well, it's not funny. It makes no sense.
1:19:28
And I go, yeah, I have no idea why they're laughing. Like I said
1:19:30
at one time and it worked. And then I went, I'll just stick with
1:19:32
it for the rest of my fucking life.
1:19:33
But yeah, like, I feel like that,
1:19:36
is it easier when you do someone else's project
1:19:39
to just be like, eh, whatever, my job's done.
1:19:42
Yeah, it's easier to like,
1:19:44
I mean, like, cause there's no, there's not
1:19:46
pressure really. Yeah. When
1:19:48
it's not, if you're just like acting in something and
1:19:50
it's different if you're like the main character,
1:19:53
but if you're just acting in something and it's not like the
1:19:55
project isn't on your back, it's
1:19:58
sick, you can kind of just show up and do your job.
1:19:59
And that's also kind of the most helpful thing for
1:20:02
the project is just to like Be aware
1:20:04
of your place in the project and just show up
1:20:06
and do your job and not like make things
1:20:08
about you that aren't about you
1:20:12
Sweet okay, so what's like
1:20:13
what's your list of actors you want to work with?
1:20:16
Pretty
1:20:18
like
1:20:19
Fortunate to have worked with
1:20:21
like most of the people that I
1:20:23
have been like dying to work with so really I
1:20:25
think there's still like three Yeah,
1:20:28
yeah, there's still like three or four
1:20:31
that I like grew up idolizing
1:20:34
that I haven't worked with yet, but
1:20:35
Like I got to work
1:20:38
with like Jonah Hill shut up at our
1:20:40
Adam Sandler and
1:20:43
Then like all the people that were Dude,
1:20:46
you did a grown-ups to yeah first movie ever So
1:20:50
I went from being on YouTube and like
1:20:52
making my own shit to like being on this
1:20:54
like massive movie with her building
1:20:58
a duplicate
1:20:59
house just to remake the backyard
1:21:01
and like a massive football field-sized tent
1:21:03
and I'm just like
1:21:05
Holy shit, like this is insane. I
1:21:07
wonder if I could sell my Social
1:21:10
media as behind the scenes for
1:21:12
an Adam Sandler movie so I could work with Adam
1:21:14
Sandler I just want to work. I want to watch
1:21:16
him work. I want to see what he does. He's
1:21:18
just the coolest fucking guy
1:21:20
I'm mad,
1:21:22
but I fucking ruined it.
1:21:24
Yeah, you've seen my interview with Adam Sandler No,
1:21:26
it's so bad. Is it? I mean,
1:21:28
I feel like I I was like I would did that
1:21:30
movie I was like 18 19. I'm coming from
1:21:32
college thinking I'm like, you know thinking
1:21:35
I'm knowing what I'm talking about Like
1:21:37
I wasn't a dick in any way I definitely was
1:21:39
like
1:21:40
but I also like I don't think I was
1:21:42
able to fully
1:21:44
Express how much it meant
1:21:46
to me to be there and I kind
1:21:48
of wish I could Tell him

1:22:03
gotta have to date like a 39 year old. How
1:22:06
old are you? No, 50,
1:22:10
I'm 50. Okay. Yeah. I
1:22:13
was gonna say nine years is not that crazy. No, fuck, I'm 50. But 19,
1:22:16
that's fucking nuts, dude. Yeah, that's, you
1:22:18
could be my child. I could. It bothered
1:22:21
me a little bit when we were shooting,
1:22:23
because I kept going like,
1:22:25
ah fuck, we can't really
1:22:27
hang out. Like,
1:22:30
it's a little creepy if I go,
1:22:33
if I invite you and Zoe
1:22:35
over to our house and you guys come over, you're like, smells
1:22:37
like old people. And
1:22:39
you're like, oh wow, look, they have pictures of their kids up. I
1:22:42
don't think, I
1:22:44
don't think it's weird. I think once you're over a certain
1:22:46
age, it's no longer weird.
1:22:49
That's the weird thing, my dad was friends with the dude 10 years
1:22:51
younger than him, like the whole time. I remember
1:22:53
being like, what did they have in common? And then you'd
1:22:55
be getting older and you're like, oh a lot. And like at
1:22:57
a certain age, it just becomes about life.
1:23:00
Yeah. My oldest friend, who's
1:23:02
my oldest friend?
1:23:07
I don't have a lot of old, I mean, I should make some older friends,
1:23:11
you know? Yeah. All
1:23:14
right, so there's no actors, I gotta get
1:23:16
you out of here. There's no actors you wanna work with.
1:23:19
I'm chilling actually.
1:23:21
No, I really want to, I mean, Will Ferrell
1:23:23
has always been a dream of mine to work with. I
1:23:25
technically worked with him, I did
1:23:28
a voice in that movie, Stray's, that's coming out to me. Oh,
1:23:30
you're doing a movie with him right now? Oh, you did
1:23:32
Stray's?
1:23:33
He's in Stray, he's the main character in Stray's.
1:23:36
And you're in Stray's? And I was in a scene in Stray's,
1:23:38
so I got to work with him there. Can
1:23:40
I tell you Stray's? But it's my first time like
1:23:42
working with him, like
1:23:45
acting with him.
1:23:46
And the other guy, the
1:23:48
only other like two main
1:23:50
guys that come to mind that I haven't worked with already
1:23:53
are Jack Black and Seth Rogen.
1:23:56
Seth Rogen will be badass. Seth
1:23:59
Rogen, Seth Rogen.
1:23:59
would be really badass, because I think you can...
1:24:02
Because it's funny to watch Seth Rogen
1:24:04
in little things. Like, he was in Anchorman.
1:24:07
Yeah, he's in, I mean, I don't know if he was in Anchorman. But he was
1:24:09
in Anchorman. He's a cameraman. Oh, right,
1:24:11
right. So, like, you forget, like, you forget,
1:24:13
like... He was in a... He had a lot of small roles
1:24:15
in, like, little things early on. Yeah. And then
1:24:17
you're like, oh, that's fucking Seth Rogen. Yeah,
1:24:19
and then you realize
1:24:21
it's cool when you see those, because then you
1:24:23
go, oh, he's
1:24:23
kind of... Right. And I don't mean
1:24:26
to say worked his way up, but he's done a lot of
1:24:28
the jobs. Right. So, like,
1:24:29
one of the drawbacks of me is I've never did
1:24:31
that. So, I don't have a lot of that energy.
1:24:34
So, I don't... Maybe I don't see it or respect
1:24:37
it a ton. You know? But, like,
1:24:39
he does. Right. That's what's cool about him is he
1:24:41
does. Yeah. And then he... And then
1:24:43
made his own movies.
1:24:44
And he's
1:24:46
a fucking... I think he's a
1:24:49
cool motherfucker. Yeah. Jack
1:24:51
Black, I just think, is, like, the funniest. He just
1:24:53
makes me laugh, like, School of Rock. Nacho
1:24:56
Libre was, like, one of my favorite movies when
1:24:58
I was, like, 13.
1:24:59
Jack Black's. Yeah.
1:25:01
And did you see Super Mario? No.
1:25:05
Dude, I loved Super Mario. For
1:25:07
real? Oh, yeah. I took some mushrooms, went
1:25:09
and saw Super Mario, took more mushrooms,
1:25:12
went to Super Mario World,
1:25:14
and just fucking vibed out, dude.
1:25:16
I was jumping, hitting my head
1:25:19
on those little...
1:25:21
Little blocks. It was incredible. Oh,
1:25:24
is that... Super Mario's... My isla
1:25:27
texted me the song to Princess Peach.
1:25:29
Peach. Yeah. Jack
1:25:31
Black as Bowser. Come down to nowhere in the movie.
1:25:34
It's fucking hilarious. Really? It's really
1:25:36
funny. I loved it.
1:25:38
That's fucking... Yeah, Jack Black would be a cool dude. I
1:25:40
remember watching him when I first moved out to LA. It
1:25:43
was right when he was starting to pop. And
1:25:45
he was doing Tenacious D, but he was... You'd
1:25:47
see him at shows. And he
1:25:49
was, like, I think he was dating Laura Keitlinger.
1:25:52
That's crazy.
1:25:54
Laura Keitlinger is... I
1:25:56
mean, still is a great comic, but she was
1:25:58
a really...
1:25:59
big name in comedy and Jack
1:26:02
Black and I was like part
1:26:04
of Tenacious D. One of my best
1:26:06
stories for a long time was when I was in high
1:26:08
school. It was the first time I ever got drunk
1:26:10
before like a school event
1:26:13
and they said we had a celebrity guest.
1:26:16
And it was like a thing that everyone volunteered
1:26:19
to do because all day it was like we held a prom
1:26:21
for kids with like kidney failures or something.
1:26:23
And so if you worked at it, you'd get all
1:26:26
your service hours.
1:26:27
So we all get hammered before this thing. Is that a
1:26:29
real thing? Yeah,
1:26:30
it was a renal prom.
1:26:31
And it was like a nice thing that our school did
1:26:34
put on this prom for kids that didn't have their proms because
1:26:36
they were sick. Okay. Was everyone
1:26:38
had kidney failure though? I don't know if it was all
1:26:40
kidney failure or not. It was a lot of... It just seems
1:26:42
very specific of like, there's not going
1:26:44
to be any fruit juices. Right, right.
1:26:47
Yeah. So... This
1:26:49
is a prom for guys that are nearsighted. It
1:26:52
was kids that didn't have prom
1:26:54
because they were sick.
1:26:58
And they said it was going to be a celebrity guest because it was for
1:27:00
charity. So we all just
1:27:02
get hammered before this thing.
1:27:04
And
1:27:05
this is in the peak of like
1:27:07
me having seen Nacho Libre and knowing
1:27:10
every word to the movie. Yeah. And
1:27:13
they go, and now for our celebrity guest, Jack
1:27:15
Black.
1:27:16
And I'm in the crowd just like, I've
1:27:19
never been drunk at school. And
1:27:21
I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
1:27:24
And then Jack Black comes up and starts taking song
1:27:26
requests.
1:27:27
And I don't know if you've seen Nacho Libre, but
1:27:29
there's a song called Encarnacion that
1:27:32
he sings to the woman he loves.
1:27:34
And me and my best friend, we used to sing this all
1:27:36
the time, like all around school. Halfway
1:27:39
through the song, he forgets the words
1:27:40
and he's like, ah, fuck. And
1:27:43
he's like, I forgot the words. And everyone starts going, Jimmy,
1:27:45
Jimmy, tell him. And he like points at
1:27:48
me and he's like, you know the words? And
1:27:50
I'm like, to kiss your mouth. I
1:27:52
break my vow. And
1:27:55
he's like, thanks, dude.
1:27:57
And just goes right back into it. And
1:27:59
I'm just like.
1:28:00
And all my friends were like, I'm
1:28:02
like, you're just saying to fucking Jack Black.
1:28:05
And
1:28:05
for like years, that was like my best.
1:28:08
That was like the best thing that ever happened to me. Oh.
1:28:10
It was incredible. That's fucking awesome.
1:28:13
Yeah. Do you think Jack Black would remember? Only
1:28:18
one way to find out. If I ever meet him, I'm gonna ask
1:28:20
him, hey, do you remember this? All
1:28:22
right, hey, let's invite Jack Black to the premiere.
1:28:25
Oh yeah? Oh
1:28:27
nice. The, that'll be great.
1:28:30
You think he's coming? Yeah. Yeah.
1:28:35
I don't know who's coming. Jack
1:28:37
Black, I think for some reason, I feel like I know, I
1:28:41
think he might've just followed me on Instagram. I
1:28:44
don't have my phone. I don't know. My Instagram
1:28:47
who's followed me since
1:28:49
Razzle Dazzle has gotten
1:28:51
a little better. Like meaning like it's gotten a little
1:28:53
juicier of like, like I got like,
1:28:56
but who I am, who I get excited
1:28:58
about is probably not who you get excited about. Do
1:29:00
you feel, this
1:29:01
was something I experienced on Twitter.
1:29:04
The more like cool people that followed me. Not to follow
1:29:06
Twitter at all. The more cool people
1:29:08
that followed me on Twitter, the more I, the
1:29:10
less I tweeted, the more I was like, I don't wanna
1:29:13
say that. If so and so is gonna
1:29:15
see it. Like I remember Seth Rogen started following me on Twitter
1:29:17
like
1:29:18
years ago. And after,
1:29:20
and like for the next like six months, everything I was
1:29:22
about to tweet, I was like, would Seth
1:29:25
like that? I don't
1:29:27
know.
1:29:29
I don't want him to think I'm lame.
1:29:30
And now I just like, I can't even, I
1:29:34
can't even do Twitter. I don't do Twitter.
1:29:36
I don't, I don't do Twitter at all because.
1:29:39
They took your check away. No, no, no, I still
1:29:41
have a check. They took mine dude. So I'm selling my fucking
1:29:43
Tesla.
1:29:46
Wait, what is it? Wait, did they take checks away?
1:29:48
They took my check. Why would they
1:29:50
take checks? They took check cause you have to pay now.
1:29:53
What? Yeah. Am I paying
1:29:57
for a check mark?
1:29:59
I don't know, I may not have a check mark. Some people got
1:30:02
on. Pull me up on Twitter, see if I have a check mark. But
1:30:05
I remember when I first got my check, it was a bunch of people were like
1:30:07
impersonating me and saying like, whack shit. I knew
1:30:09
this was happening on Instagram, you could buy checks.
1:30:11
Yeah. I didn't know this was happening on
1:30:14
Twitter. Okay, I got it. You're good, man.
1:30:16
Yeah, but I got mine back in the day. I got mine a long time ago.
1:30:18
I got mine in like 2011. I
1:30:21
bet I was before that. You wanna
1:30:23
have a check off, bro? You know how I got mine? You know how
1:30:25
I got mine?
1:30:27
Warren Sapp. He
1:30:31
had pulled over it. Warren
1:30:33
Sapp said to me, you got a blue check mark? And I said,
1:30:35
no. And he goes, you want one? And I was
1:30:37
like, please. We're at a theme park. We're
1:30:40
at Magic Mountain. This is how you had to get
1:30:43
checks back in the day? This is what was at the beginning
1:30:45
of Twitter. And he called a guy. He had to
1:30:47
go to Magic Mountain with Warren Sapp. Yeah,
1:30:49
that's how I got a check mark. And then you go to a little kiosk and
1:30:51
there was a guy working there. And that was Elon.
1:30:54
And he said, he goes, all right.
1:30:57
Upload your Instagram real quick.
1:31:00
Delete it and then reload it. See if it, you know, just reload
1:31:02
it. I reloaded it. I had a blue
1:31:04
check and I went shut the fuck up. Wow. He
1:31:06
was like, yeah, you're welcome. I was like, oh, thanks. What
1:31:08
I was gonna say is like,
1:31:10
you can see a bunch of positive things.
1:31:13
And if you see one thing, like if
1:31:15
someone's like, you're a fucking idiot. You're
1:31:17
like, whatever. But if someone says something
1:31:19
that actually you were already thinking about
1:31:21
yourself. Here's the worst
1:31:23
part.
1:31:24
So then I've been, and
1:31:26
then I've hired this
1:31:28
woman. I said woman, my friend
1:31:30
Victoria, but she's, I hired her. She's a real
1:31:33
social media person.
1:31:35
And cause she just knows it. First of all, she
1:31:37
has in lines of communication with everyone.
1:31:40
So if something's happening with something, she can figure it out.
1:31:42
But more importantly, she's wise to how
1:31:45
to tweet. And I was
1:31:47
just like, keep me out of the fucking, keep me out of Twitter.
1:31:50
And then Rogan
1:31:51
sends me a fucking article on
1:31:54
Twitter. So I go to check it out. And I
1:31:56
can't open it. And I was like, fuck. And
1:31:58
I, and something happened.
1:31:59
with Twitter where they said, hey, if
1:32:02
you don't log in now, you're gonna have a hard time logging in. And I
1:32:04
didn't have my login password on my new phone. It wasn't
1:32:06
saved to my key chain. So I couldn't log
1:32:08
in. So I couldn't log into my new one.
1:32:11
So I created a burner account. This
1:32:14
is the worst burner account you've ever
1:32:16
heard of in your entire life. Is it at not
1:32:18
Burt Kreischer?
1:32:20
Nope. In a photo of you with a mustache. Oh,
1:32:22
no. That would have
1:32:25
been way better. You were with sunglasses
1:32:27
and a mustache? I
1:32:30
didn't
1:32:31
have my glasses with me and I
1:32:33
was needing a username.
1:32:35
I don't know why, but I said, oops, I
1:32:37
did it again. Burner
1:32:40
has just been exposed.
1:32:42
Well, oh, so
1:32:46
then I
1:32:50
get my burner and then I jokingly
1:32:52
text to our group chat. Yeah. You
1:32:55
got me back on Twitter. I have a burner account now. And
1:32:58
then I see that because I had my glasses, I
1:33:01
didn't put again, I put Asian.
1:33:04
So I said, oops, I did it Asian.
1:33:06
And then I said that to someone
1:33:08
on a radio show. I said, yeah, I have a burner account.
1:33:11
And I said, oops, I did it Asian and I misspelled
1:33:14
Asian. So I didn't, I don't, my burner account
1:33:16
is oops, I did it ASEAN. And
1:33:18
so, but I got on this
1:33:22
burner account
1:33:25
and I started going to like
1:33:28
things on Twitter and I fucking
1:33:31
saw something about me again. I go, what am I doing?
1:33:33
What am I fucking doing? And so I said,
1:33:35
I go, I'm out. I deleted Twitter off my
1:33:38
phone again. This was in Australia. I was like,
1:33:40
I was, and I was like, I'm fucking out. I don't want to
1:33:42
fucking deal with it because it's like, I don't,
1:33:45
it's not real. Like it's not, none
1:33:47
of that, none of those conversations are, are
1:33:49
really happening with me and my life. You
1:33:51
know, it's like, the guy doesn't like you and he
1:33:53
hates you. And there's a lot of people that
1:33:55
the more, the more,
1:33:57
like, especially when you start promoting something, like,
1:33:59
The more you promote,
1:34:02
the more it gives you a reason for someone to not like you.
1:34:05
And so when I promoted Razzle Dazzle, there's people
1:34:07
that just were like, oh, this fucking
1:34:09
guy again. And so you're like, yeah,
1:34:11
but I can't not promote something
1:34:14
I did, I want people to see it.
1:34:15
And for the little amount of people that dislike it,
1:34:17
you get a ton of people that like it, and that's what
1:34:19
you need to focus on, but
1:34:21
I just read the negative thing. Yeah.
1:34:25
Tune out.
1:34:26
I'm jealous when you hear people like,
1:34:30
like that don't have any social
1:34:32
media. Like me, David, David Zanez. Yeah,
1:34:35
he has no social media. And he changes his
1:34:38
number like every fucking five weeks. He DM'd me one
1:34:40
time.
1:34:41
I...
1:34:45
I think I have 20 Pete
1:34:47
numbers.
1:34:51
It's actually absurd. John Mulaney talked
1:34:53
about this in his standup special.
1:34:57
I started putting dates on them because
1:34:59
I would be like, I just need to look for this recent
1:35:02
one. Well, the one
1:35:04
I have is dead. It's gone, dude.
1:35:06
If it wasn't in the last four weeks, it's... No,
1:35:10
he one time I tweeted, I was
1:35:13
fucking in bed, and I posted on Instagram,
1:35:16
it's weird that I'm laying in bed next to my wife
1:35:18
thinking,
1:35:19
oh, I like Pete Davidson's new haircut, he looks
1:35:21
cute. And then he
1:35:24
wrote to me, hey,
1:35:25
thanks for the message, but now all I'm seeing is
1:35:28
how many people hate my new haircut. And
1:35:30
I was like, sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen.
1:35:32
He's like, nah, you know, hope everything's good.
1:35:35
Like it's just like, yeah, I can see
1:35:37
why his
1:35:38
amount of fame is like insane.
1:35:41
You just gotta
1:35:42
be off it totally. You gotta just tune
1:35:44
out. Because I go, this
1:35:47
is the crazy part. This
1:35:50
is the, it should be fun, right? Shouldn't
1:35:53
it be fun? It should be fun. I always,
1:35:55
I... Or is it gross if you like it? It's
1:35:58
not gross if you like it. I don't think it's gross if you like it.
1:35:59
I've never done it. So like, well, oh,
1:36:02
like liking the premiere. I've never done a premiere. No,
1:36:04
I mean, I think for you, like, this is exciting.
1:36:06
Like you put your, it's your movie. Like you should,
1:36:09
you should definitely be excited.
1:36:10
I always like
1:36:11
try to not get too excited about like premieres
1:36:14
and stuff because I always feel like
1:36:17
sort of disappointed afterwards,
1:36:20
not in the project, but in
1:36:22
the thing. Like I think whenever you like,
1:36:25
something is a milestone on your calendar
1:36:27
that's like coming up, that something
1:36:30
like a premiere, that's like, you're just doing press.
1:36:32
It's not the fulfilling part of what you're
1:36:35
doing. It's just the part
1:36:37
where you
1:36:38
put it out into the world. It always feels a little
1:36:40
disappointing.
1:36:41
Like,
1:36:44
I mean, for me, like the best part of the
1:36:46
process is like when you finish making it
1:36:48
or like a part along the way
1:36:50
that excites you where something clicks and works
1:36:52
and you're like, fuck yeah. And you have that adrenaline
1:36:55
rush. I never get that at like premieres.
1:36:58
I just generally feel like,
1:37:00
oh, you feel a little like kind of vulnerable
1:37:03
and like, oh, now everyone's just going to judge
1:37:05
the thing that I did.
1:37:07
Yeah. I can't
1:37:09
imagine. I mean, a premier, Leanne said
1:37:11
to me, and Razzle Dazzle just
1:37:13
came out. So that's why I keep talking about it. She
1:37:15
said, we
1:37:16
should have a premiere party. And I said, no, I have
1:37:18
no interest in watching my special with
1:37:21
anyone else. And she said, yeah, but we've done it before. And I went,
1:37:23
no, but what we did was
1:37:25
we let our kids, we let all our kids in
1:37:27
the neighborhood watch the parts that they could watch about
1:37:29
the kids. I talked about them. Yeah.
1:37:32
And I was like, that was fun because
1:37:33
it was cool to watch a child go like, well,
1:37:35
you said my name and you're like, yeah, yeah,
1:37:37
you know, but like I could not watch
1:37:40
people watching
1:37:41
my comedy specials. Are you going to watch people
1:37:43
watch the machine? I don't know. That's
1:37:46
what I'm saying. Like, this is all new to me. I'm excited about
1:37:48
the event. Like, I love having
1:37:50
something to look forward to. And I'm excited
1:37:52
about the event and the fun that it's
1:37:54
going to be. And like,
1:37:55
I think, you know, it'll be fun to see everyone
1:37:57
that was there that worked on it.
1:37:59
cool but uh I
1:38:02
think
1:38:03
and I wouldn't say this about everything
1:38:06
I think that you will enjoy
1:38:08
watching this movie in a theater with
1:38:10
the premiere crowd I think
1:38:13
it'll play well and I think there'll be a lot
1:38:15
of laughs and I think it'll make you happy I
1:38:18
will I will you know what happened when I did
1:38:20
the first screening so I went to the first
1:38:22
screening and I sat up front and I got two bottles
1:38:24
of wine because I was like I'm not gonna watch this sober
1:38:28
and the second the movie started I started bawling
1:38:30
crying and I cried through
1:38:32
the whole movie and I did
1:38:35
my lines to the screen
1:38:38
and they said hey
1:38:40
we need to move you for the
1:38:42
next screening because you really affect
1:38:45
how we watch what
1:38:49
is this they're
1:38:51
like I feel like I shouldn't be here for this moment
1:38:54
that Bert is having with you're sitting in the
1:38:56
front everyone in the theater is looking
1:39:01
at you you gotta sit like in the back
1:39:04
so bad and so then the next screening
1:39:06
they sat me in the back and even Leanne
1:39:08
was like hey
1:39:10
you're being too loud crying stop like
1:39:12
I just would get what I'm crying about I just
1:39:14
emotional it's crazy it's just insane
1:39:17
what's like do you remember that do you remember the day that
1:39:19
I cried on set and you all you did
1:39:21
was you did a line you go my name is bird I don't go
1:39:23
to class much and I started crying
1:39:25
uncontrollably I get that and they're like what
1:39:27
is it I go I actually said that like
1:39:30
it's crazy like I used to say that and then
1:39:32
I'm watching someone say that it's an insane
1:39:34
moment to have
1:39:36
you know the line you know the line that
1:39:38
is that the reason Leanne fell in love with you right
1:39:41
I tell you that ever mm-hmm the guestbook
1:39:43
guestbook is such a great fucking show guestbook
1:39:47
was such a great show did you ever see the Joey Diaz thing
1:39:49
where he ends up sucking the guy's dick
1:39:52
they are oh yeah that was a funny
1:39:54
that was the guestbook was so funny
1:39:57
do you know that my favorite line this
1:39:59
is the line
1:39:59
where Leanne hit
1:40:02
pause and was like, he needs
1:40:04
to play you. So
1:40:06
when the dude
1:40:09
gets kicked out of his house and you offered
1:40:11
to let him move into your van, and
1:40:13
he goes, I don't know, man, it's gonna be tight, two of us. And you
1:40:15
go, no, you'll have complete total privacy. I
1:40:17
have no proof of your vision. I was
1:40:19
such a great fucking line. Leanne
1:40:25
hit pause. It's so funny because you're not
1:40:27
that guy.
1:40:29
You play that guy so fucking
1:40:31
well. You play that
1:40:33
dude so well. So
1:40:35
what's the plan? You go to Atlanta tonight? I'm
1:40:38
going to Atlanta tonight. What did you get to see Will?
1:40:40
What? Do you plan on what you're gonna
1:40:42
say to Will?
1:40:43
Well, I know him at this point. He
1:40:46
produced a movie I did that was
1:40:49
at
1:40:49
Sundance. Young Taco? Young
1:40:52
Taco? Who's Young Taco?
1:40:55
You said Young Taco. I know, but you
1:40:57
said, wait, is that a secret too? Oh
1:41:00
no, that's a different movie. That's a different movie. I was
1:41:02
like, Young Taco. Young
1:41:04
Taco, can I shout out to Young Taco? Shout
1:41:07
out to Travis. I thought his name was Young Taco.
1:41:09
Well, that's his Instagram name, but his name's Travis, Travis
1:41:11
Bennett. Travis Bennett's a cool motherfucker
1:41:14
to follow. He's been a fun follow.
1:41:16
He's the man. He is, and he
1:41:18
did something that
1:41:19
was really fascinating.
1:41:22
And
1:41:23
it's like sometimes you watch things happen,
1:41:25
and then you go, huh, huh.
1:41:27
I'm not
1:41:29
giving you too much of the secret, but
1:41:31
Travis had a
1:41:33
medical procedure done. We'll never
1:41:35
know, because he never shared what it was,
1:41:37
but it just showed him in a hospital in a gown,
1:41:39
and he took a picture, and
1:41:40
I was looking, and I was so fascinated. I
1:41:43
went through, I combed through all his
1:41:45
things. You sure maybe he just was at the doctor?
1:41:47
No, it was a medical procedure. It was a medical
1:41:49
procedure. And the only reason I know this is that
1:41:52
it was like, maybe it was like two or three pictures of him at the
1:41:54
doctor. Whatever it was, I combed through
1:41:56
all his pictures, and halfway through combing,
1:41:59
two years back.
1:41:59
these fucking things, I went,
1:42:03
this will be a great way
1:42:06
to announce a tour.
1:42:08
For whatever it is, when someone goes to the hospital,
1:42:12
your empathy kicks in and you go,
1:42:15
I, and by the way, shout out to Young Taco,
1:42:17
I owe him this. So then
1:42:19
I had to do Red Rocks. I did Red Rocks after we got
1:42:21
done filming. And I knew I had to get
1:42:23
surgery because I ruptured my
1:42:25
thing. And I went, shout out to Young Taco,
1:42:27
I'm gonna do a read going into the surgery.
1:42:29
I'm gonna go do a read going into surgery.
1:42:32
I'm going into surgery.
1:42:34
I got, if there's one thing I can say right now,
1:42:37
because a surgery picture gets a lot of things and
1:42:39
I sold out Red Rocks because of Young Taco. But
1:42:41
Jimmy, can I tell you like,
1:42:44
what is so
1:42:46
fascinating to me?
1:42:49
And maybe this
1:42:51
is, I don't know what this is, but it keeps coming
1:42:53
back to me. Is your mom's
1:42:55
a speech pathologist, right? No,
1:42:58
she's an audiologist. Audiologist, audiologist.
1:43:01
And your dad worked at LAX, right? Yeah.
1:43:03
And that kid, and you have a brother,
1:43:06
but that kid does
1:43:10
these crazy fucking things. Like
1:43:12
my dad's, my dad, I
1:43:14
would dare I say, I
1:43:17
came from privilege, only because anyone
1:43:19
that looked from the outside in would think that, I don't
1:43:21
think totally, but my dad was a lawyer for the Church
1:43:23
of Scientology at one point. Wow. And
1:43:26
so, and my mom was a teacher, but
1:43:29
like I went to private school growing up,
1:43:33
my dad will say stuff like, I can't believe this is happening
1:43:35
to you.
1:43:36
And then, and because of the way my dad
1:43:39
sees me, I am forced to go, I can't
1:43:41
believe this is happening to me. Knowing who
1:43:43
you are and where you grew up and
1:43:45
where you came from, these adventures
1:43:47
you have in life,
1:43:49
I get
1:43:51
defensive sometimes, because I wanna
1:43:53
go, I wanna put in the comments, every
1:43:55
time I wanna go, do you know he's a regular person?
1:43:58
Cause that's the thing that you,
1:43:59
that you are just a regular person.
1:44:03
Like you're a very talented regular person, but
1:44:06
you're not like, you're not a
1:44:08
fucking Kendall Jenner, but you
1:44:11
end up running in circles with Kendall Jenner. And
1:44:13
then I go, what the fuck? Like
1:44:16
that's insane to me. Does that make sense?
1:44:20
Yeah, I mean, I think you mean regular person in the
1:44:22
sense that like, I am- You didn't grow up at country
1:44:24
clubs. Oh yeah. You didn't grow
1:44:27
up getting a Ferrari. You didn't get a Mercedes
1:44:29
for your 16th birthday. Right, right. You
1:44:31
didn't- No, I got an 88 Honda Prelude, which is
1:44:34
in hindsight,
1:44:35
I wish I had just fucking owned it, but
1:44:38
at the time I was like super embarrassed
1:44:40
because like
1:44:41
everyone had cooler cars than me. And I had just like
1:44:44
piece of shit 88 Honda Prelude. That was like
1:44:46
a stick ship.
1:44:47
And I looked back at photos and I'm like, dude, you should have
1:44:49
just fucking owned it. That car is sick.
1:44:52
Like it wasn't,
1:44:53
but like in the way that like an old car-
1:44:56
88 Honda Prelude. Honda had a fucking run where
1:44:59
they were making really cool cars.
1:45:01
Like the Prelude was a legit cool
1:45:03
fucking car. The Prelude, it's gonna, and now
1:45:06
I can look at it and be like,
1:45:07
that's cool. But at the time I was like so
1:45:09
self-conscious about the Honda Prelude. But
1:45:11
yeah, I mean, I think like, yeah,
1:45:14
it is when you hang out with your parents that you start,
1:45:16
yeah, dude, it was a white one.
1:45:19
It was just, that was a sick fucking car. It was, I
1:45:21
mean, it wasn't what you wanted to be
1:45:23
whipping in high school, that thing.
1:45:25
No, my buddy had a 91 Honda Prelude
1:45:28
and it was a fucking race car,
1:45:30
I thought. Well, your buddy had a 91
1:45:34
but you're 19 years older than me. Oh
1:45:36
shit, oh you're right. Oh wait, hold on, hold
1:45:38
on, hold on. Oh wait, you had an 88? Oh
1:45:41
my, I was like, Jimmy, that was a cool car when you were
1:45:43
in high school. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
1:45:45
no. You were like, you're really cool, I was
1:45:47
like, I was like, Jimmy, I was like, Jesus, you're lucky.
1:45:50
Yeah, no, I'm talking about 2007. Oh fuck,
1:45:52
oh fuck, oh that's right.
1:45:56
He
1:46:00
didn't know he had a... He had a 91 in 91. He
1:46:02
had a 91 in 91. He really got the 88 in OA. But that's the
1:46:04
thing I can't get away
1:46:07
from is like, I think I'm a pretty regular
1:46:09
dude,
1:46:17
but
1:46:20
I think it's because I found success late in life. So
1:46:22
I got to be regular by force
1:46:25
of nature, by like
1:46:26
having kids and being broke
1:46:29
and going to schools
1:46:31
where you watch parents be that were successful.
1:46:34
And like, I always looked at those parents that were
1:46:36
successful, like Billy Crudup,
1:46:38
is our kids are the same age, our oldest are the same
1:46:40
age. And we went to preschool together.
1:46:43
He was married to Elizabeth Masterson
1:46:46
or something, someone like famous, Mary
1:46:48
Louise Parker. He was married
1:46:50
to Mary Louise Parker. And I think
1:46:53
he was dating Claire Danes at the time. That
1:46:55
was...
1:46:57
I don't know. There's three
1:46:59
different names that came in there. You
1:47:01
know who any of them are? Yeah, I know Claire Danes. She
1:47:04
was just on my flight a couple of days ago, actually. No
1:47:06
way. How's she looking? Good.
1:47:10
Yeah. Claire Danes, my so-called
1:47:12
life is a fucking...
1:47:14
Because today I was trying to... I'm doing a
1:47:17
podcast called Drink Champs. You were listening
1:47:19
to them? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuckin' awesome.
1:47:22
Like,
1:47:22
dude sitting around a table with
1:47:24
alcohol on it. Yeah, yeah. Do you get fucked
1:47:26
up on that? Oh, I will.
1:47:28
I know. I'm thinking about fucking taking an Adderall
1:47:30
before. But like, do people typically? Yeah, oh
1:47:32
yeah. DMX, fucking Jadakiss. But
1:47:35
you said you didn't take an Adderall before? I was thinking.
1:47:37
Everyone's on Adderall. Are they? I found
1:47:39
out everyone's on Adderall.
1:47:41
I found out everyone's on fucking Adderall. I don't know if you
1:47:43
need Adderall. I don't think, but I
1:47:45
just want to make sure I... I think you got a natural... Yeah,
1:47:48
but...
1:47:49
So, but I was... I'm trying to...
1:47:52
So today I was trying to... I
1:47:54
was trying to...
1:47:57
I was up. I woke up at one in the morning
1:47:59
and stayed up until five.
1:47:59
I was trying to use the time wisely in
1:48:02
a creative manner. And so I was trying
1:48:04
to chronologically
1:48:09
tell my story of hip hop to myself.
1:48:12
So like what was the first hip hop album
1:48:15
I bought? And then what
1:48:17
were the
1:48:20
big earmark moments in hip hop for
1:48:22
me? Like, and then
1:48:24
how did I get to Outcast?
1:48:28
How did I get to
1:48:29
DMX? Like it's really an, you
1:48:31
know,
1:48:32
if you use music to tell the story of your life,
1:48:34
it really is a fun, I was having fun doing
1:48:36
it, even though I should have been sleeping,
1:48:39
is like Jada Kiss
1:48:41
and The Locks and Dip Set
1:48:45
that was introduced to me in
1:48:47
the coolest way you could get introduced.
1:48:50
Growing up in the South,
1:48:51
everything was car music. Everything you
1:48:53
listened to was in your car. And
1:48:56
I didn't have a car in New York, everything was headset music.
1:48:59
So,
1:49:00
but one of the coolest things was on
1:49:02
a Sunday in New York,
1:49:04
when it was a beautiful, when spring was happening,
1:49:07
that music was all being played on this show called
1:49:10
The Box.
1:49:11
And you'd see it in your house, and
1:49:13
then you'd hear it in the streets when people
1:49:15
were driving around New York, like having a day,
1:49:17
like in their convertible, driving around,
1:49:19
and you'd
1:49:20
just be like, five hot black chicks listening
1:49:22
to Cameron. But
1:49:25
you'd hear it, and you'd hear it once,
1:49:28
and then it was the song go around at the time,
1:49:30
and you'd hear it again. And then you'd be like, what the
1:49:32
fuck is that song?
1:49:34
And you'd have to figure out what that song was and
1:49:36
then go get it in a CD player that you listen to
1:49:38
headsets. And then that's how you discover
1:49:40
music in New York. It was really cool when I was thinking
1:49:42
of that. And the reason I was saying this is that when I first
1:49:45
moved to New York, I met a dude, I didn't have a place
1:49:47
to stay.
1:49:49
And so
1:49:50
I would get weed and
1:49:52
I'd meet dudes at bars, and then I'd say,
1:49:54
hey, you wanna get high?
1:49:56
And they'd be like, yeah. And I'd be like, well, my roommate's a dick. Why
1:49:58
don't we go to your place and get high? And then we'd get high.
1:49:59
pass on the couch. So like the
1:50:02
second dude I met, maybe third dude I met,
1:50:04
was I'm sorry that I can't remember his name,
1:50:07
but he lived with a guy named John Beamer.
1:50:10
And I grew up with John Beamer.
1:50:13
I grew up with John
1:50:15
Beamer, went to high school together.
1:50:16
And I went to this guy's house, I wish he remember his
1:50:19
name, I went to his house, we smoked weed, I
1:50:21
fell asleep on his couch, and he's like, eh, I just passed out
1:50:23
here, I'll wake you up in the morning.
1:50:25
I fell asleep on his couch, and John Beamer woke me up the
1:50:27
next day and was like, what the fuck are you doing here?
1:50:29
And I was like, Beamer? And I
1:50:31
didn't know that it was his roommate. And I was like, shut
1:50:33
the fuck up. I go, is this your apartment?
1:50:35
He's like, yeah, I go into work. What are you doing? I said, I
1:50:37
moved to New York.
1:50:38
And he's like, oh my God. He's like, well,
1:50:40
let's hang out, let's go do something.
1:50:42
And then his roommate woke up, and he's like, yeah, I don't have to
1:50:44
work today, you wanna hang out? And I was like, yeah. And
1:50:46
he's like, wanna smoke weed and watch my so-called life?
1:50:49
I was like, what's that? And he's like, it's so good.
1:50:51
So me and this dude that I never met,
1:50:54
got high and ordered beers and
1:50:56
just drank and got high and watched my so-called life.
1:51:00
Binge watched it.
1:51:01
And I'm talking like, I was a meathead frat boy,
1:51:04
and I was like smitten. I was
1:51:06
like, this is the coolest story. Wait,
1:51:08
this was all
1:51:10
coming full circle back to Claire Danes?
1:51:13
Claire Danes was in my so-called life. Right. I
1:51:21
was like, where the fuck are you going
1:51:23
with this? Like, I was like, what
1:51:25
is he gonna tie this back to? It
1:51:28
was just someone's name that I mentioned to
1:51:30
fit Claire Danes. Claire Danes, I got a special
1:51:32
place in my heart for Claire Danes for the
1:51:34
rest of my life. But
1:51:36
when I think of Claire Danes, I think of that first, it
1:51:39
was like the first time you were comfortable in an apartment
1:51:41
where you're like, and then I moved into that apartment. I lived
1:51:43
with that dude.
1:51:44
I lived there. And this is a random dude you met at a bar? Yeah,
1:51:47
that's
1:51:47
just kind of bar. He's a music producer. I would love
1:51:49
to know what he's doing now. Hit
1:51:51
him up. I would love to know what he's doing now.
1:51:54
No, I'm sure John Beamer's
1:51:56
a doctor now, I think. John Beamer
1:51:58
did stand up.
1:51:59
I stayed with John Beamer and I said,
1:52:02
and I said, I moved here to do stand up. He goes, I'm doing stand
1:52:04
up. John Beamer was funny as fucking shit
1:52:07
in high school, but he wasn't the funniest dude in the
1:52:09
room. He was the funniest dude in the room that
1:52:11
you didn't know was the funniest dude in the room. Those
1:52:13
are the funniest dudes. He was the
1:52:15
funniest dude. The double
1:52:17
take guys were like,
1:52:19
oh, where the fuck did that come from? You should
1:52:21
talk more. Yeah,
1:52:22
and so John Beamer said,
1:52:24
let me set you up
1:52:26
with the open mic I'm doing.
1:52:28
So I'm by the way, I just moved to New York. I've
1:52:30
been there four days.
1:52:33
He sets me up with the open mic that is the
1:52:35
reason, it is the jumping off
1:52:37
point for everything. The guy that booked that
1:52:39
open mic that night booked me in his sitcom.
1:52:42
It was the first pilot I ever did. I mean, this is like,
1:52:44
your
1:52:46
point of entry into a business, this was
1:52:49
perfect for me. It was everything.
1:52:51
And John Beamer and I signed up for Monday night
1:52:53
open mic with David J Nash.
1:52:56
And I, John's like,
1:52:58
what are you gonna talk about on stage? I go, I don't know, I'll figure it out when
1:53:00
I get on stage.
1:53:01
He was like, I think you should write it. And I was like, ah,
1:53:03
yeah, but I don't know how to write a joke. I know
1:53:05
that if I'm on stage, I'm funny.
1:53:07
And he was like, I would definitely
1:53:10
write it. And he goes, I've written mine. I've rehearsed
1:53:12
it. It's exactly
1:53:14
seven minutes. You should definitely do
1:53:16
that. And I was like, and I started panicking. John
1:53:18
Beamer got on stage and he jumped up and he goes,
1:53:21
hey.
1:53:27
I've completely forgotten what I'm supposed to say.
1:53:30
And the place erupted and he jumped
1:53:32
off stage. And
1:53:34
then everyone went crazy. And then he jumped back on stage
1:53:36
and he goes, has anyone seen the TV show
1:53:38
friends? Hey.
1:53:44
All right. And he jumped off stage and he totally
1:53:46
froze
1:53:47
and he quit stand up and he moved out of
1:53:49
New York the next week. And that's where
1:53:51
I got that apartment. And David J Nash
1:53:53
got on stage and he goes, I think we just saw the quickest
1:53:56
career and show business in our lives. And
1:53:59
John. And then John Beamer sat next to me and my buddy
1:54:02
Eddie,
1:54:02
and my buddy Eddie goes,
1:54:04
hey, don't worry about it, everyone has bad
1:54:07
sets. And John goes, that was the
1:54:09
worst set anyone's ever had in the history
1:54:11
of comedy. And he goes, Eddie
1:54:13
says to John, John, if there's
1:54:16
an upside, it can't get worse. And John
1:54:18
looks at Eddie and goes, it's only
1:54:20
gonna get worse.
1:54:21
And then he moved out of New York and I
1:54:23
got his apartment.
1:54:25
And now he's a doctor.
1:54:28
He lives in Chicago. He's happily married. Sounds
1:54:30
like it got better. It did get better. It did get
1:54:32
better. He was a journalist. I think he was a medical journalist
1:54:34
for a while. But to this day, funniest
1:54:36
dude in the room.
1:54:37
He was the funniest dude in the room. He said
1:54:39
to me one time in high school
1:54:42
on the DL,
1:54:43
someone's, and this has stuck
1:54:45
with me because I used this in one of my hours.
1:54:48
There was, we used to say back in the day, we're gonna party hardy.
1:54:51
And he goes, I don't trust
1:54:53
anyone who uses party as a verb, or
1:54:56
uses hardy as an adverb, or whatever the
1:54:59
right thing was to say. And
1:55:01
I looked at him and I just laughed. It was like
1:55:03
one of those word things. And I was like, oh, I'll go to
1:55:05
John.
1:55:07
Well, my next question was
1:55:09
about to be, before we start talking about it, it was
1:55:12
like, is there anyone named John Beamer
1:55:14
who's had a major impact on your life? So I'm glad.
1:55:17
I'm glad you walked me through
1:55:19
that whole thing. Cause
1:55:22
I was like, when I showed up here today,
1:55:25
I was like, fuck, I wonder if there's anyone with
1:55:27
the last name Beamer. So you haven't
1:55:29
planned out what you're gonna, like you don't
1:55:31
plan out conversations and you meet people?
1:55:35
What do you mean? Like when I met, I got really
1:55:37
nervous when I was meeting Snoop
1:55:39
and I told
1:55:41
Tommy. Oh, wait, are we shirkling back to the Will
1:55:43
Ferrell? Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell, Will Ferrell. No,
1:55:46
well, I met at Sundance, he
1:55:48
was the producer of the movie I did called
1:55:51
Theater Camp. The one that just came out. Yeah, well,
1:55:53
it's coming out July 14th.
1:55:56
Really? In theaters, yeah. How many fucking
1:55:58
movies do you have coming out?
1:56:00
No handful Got
1:56:02
strays. They got this one and then theater
1:56:04
camp and then I'm shooting the
1:56:06
Will Ferrell one and then another one in July, which I'll
1:56:09
be talking about soon Really but I
1:56:11
at Sundance will Ferrell was a producer on
1:56:13
that movie. That's fucking awesome
1:56:16
So I wouldn't be able to like I feel
1:56:18
like if I practice any kind of conversation leading
1:56:20
up to talking to anyone It would just
1:56:22
come off like forced. I'd be like thinking
1:56:24
like how do I get to how do I get
1:56:26
to the thing? It's about you
1:56:28
know, I was nervous when I met Snoop I
1:56:31
Told Tom I was like do you like as I never I
1:56:33
never met like a hero celebrity Like
1:56:36
hero celebrities are a little different than just like a celebrity.
1:56:38
Yeah, like that's like Will Ferrell for me Yeah, it's
1:56:41
like a hero celebrity So there's certain things like
1:56:44
and that's why I think I practiced the thing with Adam Sandler
1:56:46
and I went so wrong So
1:56:48
wrong
1:56:49
that I was like, I'm not I told Tom I was like I'm not good at this
1:56:51
Like I'm not good and Tom's really good at meeting celebrities. I
1:56:53
don't know. He just doesn't care Yeah,
1:56:56
like he just is like
1:56:58
I've been you know, I've been trying to get better at I've
1:57:00
been trying to get better when I really like
1:57:02
Respect and like look up to people. Yeah
1:57:05
I've been trying to get better at just like telling them because
1:57:07
there's been so many occasions where I've been somewhere
1:57:09
and someone has like come with me and said like a really nice
1:57:12
thing that I was like,
1:57:13
oh like I felt like Like
1:57:16
when someone appreciates your work the way that you
1:57:19
would like people to appreciate it Someone comes up to
1:57:21
you and says that like just really quickly
1:57:23
and politely and they just say like hey man
1:57:26
Like I've been watching you since I was a little kid I really
1:57:28
appreciate this this and this and you just like wow
1:57:30
that was fucking that was really nice Yeah and
1:57:32
it's made me I kind of like realized after like
1:57:35
I was like a couple years ago and I was like I
1:57:37
Should do that more I've done it to
1:57:39
I've been there lucky enough to do it to a couple people recently
1:57:42
I did it to Conor McGregor. So Conor McGregor
1:57:44
was like
1:57:45
You know, it's like people Same
1:57:48
with Claire Danes. I'll wait like running declared a and someone
1:57:50
fucking light her up You know what you said to me actually
1:57:52
when we were shooting the movie that stuck with me was that like
1:57:54
you love being a fan
1:57:56
of things because it makes you
1:57:58
feel like
1:58:01
I forget how you said it, but you were talking
1:58:03
about the community of being a
1:58:05
fan. Like, you were like when, cause
1:58:08
then you know you like the same thing. Yeah.
1:58:11
I forget how you said it. It's
1:58:13
the coolest thing,
1:58:14
the coolest thing, especially when you have little
1:58:17
kids and you watch them become fans of things,
1:58:20
and then you watch them find their
1:58:22
friends that have similar interests. It's
1:58:24
a really vulnerable place to be, but
1:58:28
it's really fun. Like I'm
1:58:31
certain I said to you,
1:58:33
it's fun, like when we found you,
1:58:36
like when we found you, it was fun,
1:58:39
cause I was like, oh, and then I start watching
1:58:41
you and other stuff, and then, you know, Leanne was obsessed
1:58:43
with fucking, obsessed
1:58:45
with... Guest
1:58:48
book? No, no, the fucking... Vandal?
1:58:51
No, keep going. Real bros,
1:58:53
you see me, Dolly? She was
1:58:55
obsessed with it. I mean, she watched all of them. She watched
1:58:57
all of them,
1:58:58
but it was fun to become a fan of someone's, cause then
1:59:00
when they succeed, you feel like you succeed.
1:59:02
You feel like you picked the right one. Right, right, that's what you said, yeah.
1:59:05
And I don't, I mean, that's where I kind of
1:59:07
gravitate
1:59:13
is to the positive side of loving shit,
1:59:15
trying to love shit. So like when you name all those
1:59:17
people on Coachella, I go, oh, I wanna
1:59:20
listen to them. I wanna become a fan.
1:59:22
It's fun to discover stuff. And
1:59:25
you also adversely find,
1:59:27
like I watched, my daughter, Isla was really into
1:59:29
anime and she shared that with some people and they
1:59:31
made fun of her. And then you watched her go into
1:59:34
a
1:59:34
little bit of a cave of like, well, I guess you don't tell people
1:59:36
what you like. And then you realize how shitty
1:59:38
it is
1:59:39
when you watch people, you
1:59:41
know,
1:59:42
just shit on stuff just to fucking shit on
1:59:44
it cause they don't get it or they don't care. And you're
1:59:46
like, oh, fuck man.
1:59:48
I, when I met Connor, like
1:59:51
Connor had a real moment in
1:59:55
my life when I was doing something I didn't wanna be
1:59:57
doing. I was working for Travel Channel. I was
1:59:59
very,
1:59:59
I was grateful for the job, but I did not want to be riding
2:00:02
roller coasters. I just
2:00:04
thought I was better than that. I thought I had
2:00:06
more to offer than ha!
2:00:08
Sadly,
2:00:11
if you watch this movie, not much better. But
2:00:13
I got to, when he walked up,
2:00:16
I
2:00:19
didn't know what, I didn't practice
2:00:21
it. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know he was gonna be walking up to me.
2:00:23
I thought I was meeting the general manager of the restaurant.
2:00:26
I didn't know I was meeting him.
2:00:29
And I was very, and I said, and
2:00:32
I've said this to someone the other day. I can't remember
2:00:34
who I talked to. I met a celebrity like
2:00:36
two days ago in Australia. Who
2:00:39
did I meet in Australia? I just did this again. Oh,
2:00:43
no, no, no, no. I met all my favorite fucking humans.
2:00:46
I went to the live golf tournament,
2:00:49
and I met Greg Norman. And I was
2:00:51
like, it's
2:00:53
hard to express to someone how much time
2:00:56
you've spent
2:00:58
enjoying them. And like really
2:01:00
enjoying them. And I said it, well, I said it's a style
2:01:02
vendor, 100%.
2:01:04
But
2:01:05
I said it to Connor. I said, you have no idea
2:01:07
how
2:01:08
many nights he was the thing I looked
2:01:10
forward to.
2:01:11
You're on the road, you're in fucking Sandusky,
2:01:13
Ohio, and you know that Buffalo Wild Wings is playing the
2:01:16
McGregor fucking Jose Aldo fight or whatever. And so
2:01:18
you're like, guys,
2:01:19
fuck work. We got
2:01:21
something to do tonight. Like we got something to do. My
2:01:24
day of work is now eventized by
2:01:26
this one thing. And I can
2:01:28
get through this work, because all we're talking
2:01:31
about is what we're doing tonight. So work's done.
2:01:33
Thank you for this great day, Connor, that all
2:01:36
the fucking preparation you put in to this fight,
2:01:38
all the nerves that must have gone in, all the
2:01:41
weight you had to cut, all the training camp, all
2:01:43
the hard work to get here, all the negotiations,
2:01:46
you gave me one day,
2:01:48
one Thursday, one Friday night, one Saturday,
2:01:51
where I had to ride roller coasters all day and I didn't
2:01:53
want to do it, but I knew that at the end of the day,
2:01:55
I got to do the Buffalo Wild Wings challenge.
2:01:59
Eat fucking and curly fries, drink cold
2:02:01
beer and watch you fight. Like it's like, it's
2:02:03
fun for that. And like Greg Norman, I've met Greg Norman.
2:02:07
I couldn't express to him enough. I wish
2:02:09
I had practiced it a little bit because it came
2:02:11
out really quick.
2:02:13
And I sometimes I say the wrong things, but I was like,
2:02:15
my dad and I have talked about Greg Norman so
2:02:18
fucking much. We have watched Greg Norman
2:02:20
play golf so much. My dad and I connect with
2:02:22
watching people play golf. Then I go, it's
2:02:24
nice to take a moment and say, dude,
2:02:26
just, you've been an inspiration. You've been like,
2:02:28
thank you. I really enjoyed you. Like
2:02:31
Seth Rogen, I don't know if I'll ever meet him
2:02:33
and he's younger than me, so it's a little creepy, but
2:02:36
that guy, him doing
2:02:38
what he's done has brought me so
2:02:40
much joy just on like, I got
2:02:42
to do it with Nick Swartzin. You know Nick Swartzin? Yeah, of course.
2:02:45
Yeah, I got to do it. Grown Ups 2, baby. Dude,
2:02:48
he wrote a movie called Malibu's Most
2:02:50
Wanted. Oh, dude, I actually recently
2:02:52
watched that. I re, I did a rewatch.
2:02:55
I mean, that was,
2:02:58
you know, I
2:03:00
was
2:03:00
growing up in LA and you
2:03:03
know, like you
2:03:05
were like, this is fucking
2:03:07
hilarious. Like that was, when I was
2:03:09
a kid, I was like, I thought that movie was
2:03:12
so fucking funny. It's so funny.
2:03:15
It wasn't as funny when
2:03:17
I watched it recently as it was when I was 12, but
2:03:20
it was still pretty funny. I saw it at 27,
2:03:22
28, whenever it was. And
2:03:26
I
2:03:26
got the opportunity, which was the first time
2:03:28
this ever happened to me,
2:03:30
where I was sitting in a hotel room in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
2:03:32
It was more like a motel room and I was
2:03:35
depressed. I had not made it on Last Comic Standing.
2:03:37
I did not, I was doing stand up. I wasn't
2:03:39
finding like humor in it because I feel like I
2:03:41
was a failure so I didn't make it on Last Comic.
2:03:44
And that movie came
2:03:46
on and it pulled me out of my little
2:03:48
fucking head
2:03:49
and I giggled for like fucking two hours.
2:03:51
And I called Nick and I was like, dude, I
2:03:54
don't know what your intent was when you wrote
2:03:56
this movie,
2:03:57
but you need to know you succeeded because
2:03:59
I fucking...
2:03:59
and laughed my dick off. And that's the cool
2:04:02
thing is like,
2:04:04
I'm sure Seth Rogen's main goal wasn't
2:04:06
to like
2:04:07
help a dude on the road.
2:04:10
Fucking- No, it was to make people laugh but when they
2:04:12
gave you the context and why it was meaningful,
2:04:17
it's just nice. It's a nice,
2:04:20
like I met some dude that literally
2:04:22
did my favorite Coachella show I've ever
2:04:24
seen. Who? It's this band
2:04:27
called Odessa and they did this performance
2:04:29
at Coachella like a few years ago with this drone light
2:04:31
show and it was just like,
2:04:33
and like my friend was like, he's in Odessa.
2:04:36
And I was like, dude, I just wanna tell you like
2:04:38
your show and whenever like whatever that
2:04:40
was, I referenced that all
2:04:42
the time as like a feeling that
2:04:44
I'm always trying to replicate when you're
2:04:46
at a show and all you can do is just stand
2:04:48
there like this and just soak it in.
2:04:51
And thank you.
2:04:53
And he's like, oh dude, fuck yeah. That's
2:04:55
the best. And I was just like, I felt so good to be
2:04:58
able to tell that to him. Like the guy
2:05:00
that brought you, the people that bring you so much joy
2:05:02
to be able to tell you, to tell them,
2:05:05
thank you for that. And have them receive it. That's the
2:05:07
thing that like, that sadly
2:05:10
none of these, very few of the
2:05:12
people will ever hear this.
2:05:14
Hopefully this will get to Seth Rogen
2:05:15
and he'll hear this. That's my dream
2:05:18
is this gets Seth Rogen because he needs
2:05:20
to understand and I'm sure he does,
2:05:22
but like don't trivialize
2:05:25
those moments. Those moments may bother you in a
2:05:27
taco shop, but allow
2:05:29
those people that you've given joy
2:05:31
to, allow them to celebrate you because
2:05:34
that is the,
2:05:36
that is like I got to do it with Jeff Tweedy and I didn't
2:05:38
wanna do it because I was nervous. I know Jeff Tweedy
2:05:40
is, he's from a band called Wilco that you
2:05:43
definitely probably have never heard of. No, I haven't.
2:05:45
And so, and
2:05:50
so I went to his show at Red Rocks the
2:05:52
night after I did Red Rocks with him.
2:05:54
I did it with Jimmy Buffett. I did it with Jimmy Buffett
2:05:57
the year before.
2:05:59
And I mean,
2:06:02
Jimmy Buffett, both of them didn't let me down,
2:06:04
but I was nervous with Jeff Tweedy because I know he's an artist.
2:06:07
So like sometimes artists don't want the praise,
2:06:09
you know? Yeah, they're very deflecting. Well,
2:06:11
yeah, I mean, but it's not about like how they
2:06:14
receive it. It's more just just being able to
2:06:16
say it and then just get out of there. I've
2:06:18
had I've had the worst of
2:06:20
I was in Atlantic City and a fucking
2:06:22
mobster guy was like,
2:06:25
hey, my girl is going to come over here to take
2:06:27
your shirt off. And
2:06:29
I was like, oh, I think I'm going to keep it on. He goes, no, you're not.
2:06:31
You're going to keep taking it off. That's your fucking thing.
2:06:33
Take the fucking shirt off, you boy. And
2:06:35
I was like, hey, man, you're not making me feel like a human
2:06:37
right now.
2:06:38
Yeah. And he was like, I don't give a fuck.
2:06:40
I pay money to your fucking show. My girl's coming over.
2:06:43
You take your fucking shirt off. You understand me?
2:06:45
And now I'm like, oh, wow, this this doesn't feel good.
2:06:47
Yeah. Yeah. This feels like.
2:06:51
Yeah, next thing you know, you're fighting your fans. Crazy.
2:06:54
What are you going to say? Dresses a bumblebee.
2:06:56
So we're going to come back and do my podcast.
2:06:59
I'm not done talking to you, but we should wrap it up. Is
2:07:01
this not your podcast? We're just hanging out
2:07:04
with microphones.
2:07:05
What the fuck have we been doing this all
2:07:07
the time? No, when are you going to come back? I want to I want you to do it
2:07:09

2:07:12

2:07:13
Be back in. So let's let's talk
2:07:16
about real quick. How are you going to bring my name up to
2:07:18
Will Ferrell? Just casually like
2:07:20
like I said, I'll be well. I'll be well.
2:07:23
You'll be Jimmy. OK. OK.
2:07:24
I'm so glad to have you here, Jimmy. Where are
2:07:27

2:07:29
projects you're really excited about? Yeah. Um,
