Any anything you can tease
1:26
us about. Regarding the final coming up later
1:28
this month, Oh my god.
1:30
Well, I will tell you this. As
1:32
we were shooting it, there
1:34
were people who are grizzled
1:37
game show veteran crew members,
1:39
the people that actually make the show, and
1:42
some of them have the day off the day we did the
1:44
final. They came in on their
1:46
day off to
1:48
watch the final. That's when I knew
1:50
that we might have something special. Yeah.
1:52
Whenever you get a g that's
1:54
a good sign.
1:55
Yeah.
1:57
Absolutely.
1:59
And one of the things that I think is so cool
2:01
too, Rob is, like you said, you like to mix it up and keep
2:03
it divers You of your podcast, which I've had
2:05
the pleasure being on. You're doing
2:08
the floor obviously, you're still acting, and you also
2:10
have a show with your son called Unstable.
2:12
What's the status of that show right now.
2:15
We just finished season two.
2:17
Congrats of Unstable.
2:20
Season one is streaming on Netflix, so if
2:22
you haven't caught it, it's on Netflix right
2:24
now. Unstable and it's you know,
2:26
it's I love hard
2:28
old school comedies like thirty Rock, always
2:32
sunny in Philadelphia, you know, like
2:35
like laugh out loud, old school comedy,
2:38
and that's that's what it is. And we
2:40
just did the second season and it will
2:42
be out on Netflix. They haven't announced
2:44
when yet, but I'm guessing it'll
2:47
probably be in the summer at some point.
2:49
Rob.
2:50
I watched the entire first season over
2:52
the course of a day when I had the flu last year, and
2:54
while having the flu, I still laughed.
2:56
So it is funny. That's a good sign.
2:59
I mean, it's super We have such funny Fred
3:01
Armison, isn't it, who I think is one
3:03
of the funniest people ever to ever to live.
3:06
And this year we have Lamar and Morris, who
3:09
is so funny, A New Girl, another show
3:11
I love, And it's
3:14
just it's easy to easy to be funny when
3:16
you're surrounded by funny people. I can tell you.
3:18
That that's a good recipe right there.
3:20
And there's nothing better than working with family.
3:21
So that's cool. You were so
3:24
kind to deliver another round of Atkins
3:26
snacks to the studio here.
3:28
I was looking for peanut butter cups. Oh,
3:30
I got no peanut butter cups this time.
3:33
What do you got right there?
3:34
I got, I got, I got my vanilla macadamia
3:37
nut.
3:37
I got my like Reese's pieces looking
3:40
kind of candy peanut butter.
3:42
So the Reese's Pieces peanut
3:44
butter are my current favorite.
3:45
Yeah, I'm I'm.
3:47
As my new Year's resolution. I'm trying to
3:49
eat less sugar. So I
3:52
will I throw that in the freezer
3:55
or the refridge.
3:56
I throw my chocolate in the and the refrigerator all
3:58
the time too. I like it cold whole lives.
4:01
Yeah, that's that one that you have
4:03
right there, is keeping me on my
4:05
my quest for a little less sugar this year.
4:07
Okay, that's gonna be my move because I do get a sweet
4:10
tooth, but I always get it at night.
4:12
At night, have a little something and those are portioned
4:14
out well too. Yes, it's not too much, correct,
4:16
it's a nice little portion. Okay, good man, thank you
4:19
so much again.
4:19
I always appreciate you sending these and
4:22
Rob we just had the Super
4:24
Bowl right, And I've always
4:26
wondered what.
4:27
Was the story behind the meme of you in the NFL
4:29
hat? What was the what
4:32
was the story there?
4:34
So it's two it's two things.
4:36
One is, you know, I grew up in la as you
4:38
did, and for so many years we didn't have a team,
4:41
or we'd have.
4:41
Teams that would leave.
4:45
And I got so I
4:47
flew to the game and they had a selection of
4:49
hats and I had
4:51
never seen that NFL kind of ref
4:54
hat before and I was like, this
4:57
is sick and
5:00
I never ever thought it's
5:02
funny. I ran into Roger Goodell, the commissioner,
5:05
recently, and he was and we were both laughing
5:08
at the kind of life that photos
5:11
has taken. As he said, he goes, hey, man,
5:13
you're a fan of the shield.
5:14
Yeah, we're
5:17
so great about it. Too. Is because there's a black hat.
5:18
You had a black jacket, your arms crossed, and you had a stoic
5:21
look on your face like this, I'm as neutral
5:23
as I can get.
5:23
It for no one. You're rooting against
5:25
no one. It was the best. That's
5:28
the best, real quick.
5:29
Because I always love going
5:32
back in the day with you. True you auditioned for Kevin
5:34
Bacon's foot Loose roll Back in the day. If
5:36
So, did you dance in the audition?
5:39
You had to dance in the audition? And
5:43
I knew that movie was going to be a hit. The
5:45
script was great, they had the music already
5:48
done. The music was fantastic. I really
5:50
wanted to do it. And there was a
5:52
big dance off on
5:55
the Paramount lot and
5:57
all of the kind of young leading men
6:00
had to dance to get in a group.
6:03
We were all in a group, and it had been choreographed
6:05
and rehearsed, and it ended
6:09
with a knee slide across
6:12
the floor sort of towards
6:14
the director, the studio president
6:16
and everybody's there to observe it. And
6:19
so I sort of worked my way
6:21
through it. I was doing, Okay, I'm not great dance. I
6:23
was fine, and I hit my knees
6:25
and promptly blew out
6:28
my my acl.
6:30
Oh an injury.
6:32
Whoa, And they took me out
6:34
of the out of the sound stage on a
6:36
stretcher.
6:36
Oh god, I did not get.
6:38
But I did not get.
6:39
They probably thought you were too fragile.
6:43
Well, we can't sure it's about this guy's gonna be through
6:45
the roof, we can't. Well, that's a great story.
6:47
You're one of my favorite people to talk to you because I would. I love
6:50
all these stories, so I was appreciate you taking
6:52
the last time he was on, he literally told Tom Cruise
6:54
knocked him out.
6:55
Sorry, that was the best. That's the best. That's
6:57
the best.
6:58
Uh.
6:58
