It's bad enough you walk in here and grab a haircut real quick. I don't know man. Come in here checking permits? It's bad enough you walk in here and grab a haircut real quick. I don't know man, there was a couple of steps that I felt were not up to code walking in. If there's any L&I inspectors, we are up to code. I am curious what you thought walking in. You're like, is this a setup? What's going on?

I thought it was going to be Joe Pesci and good fellas. There's no party here! How long was that? How long ago did you get made? Yeah, exactly. We lost him, there was nothing we could do. Nothing we could do about it. There was nothing that we could do. Give us the backstory, give us the origin story.

We know you're an Ohio guy. Yeah. Right? Date in Ohio? Date in Ohio, and I love my hometown, but when I grew up there, I was super lucky because it was popping. I mean, it had all the, it was before all the industry fled. Okay.

So it was really a place to- And what was the industry? Well, here's my favorite, NCR, National Cash Register. Whoa. Really? It was there. I mean, how about, just, they're gone. Yeah. And there was nothing we could do.

That's it. They whacked him. There was nothing, he's gone. Wow, okay. And you know, in like, it was just the, you know, really rust belt, high end rust belt factories that employed, you know. Everyone.

AC Delco and Mead Paper. My dad was a lawyer, and still is, a lawyer, and so it was kind of a, I mean, you know, it was still Dayton, Ohio, but it was very much a... Slice of Americana. Yeah, and like, you know, they had a theater scene which I got involved in super young.

Right. And I started doing children's, you know, being in every kid play. Really? Because I just knew that's what I wanted to do. That's what you wanted to do. Yeah, I was like one of those freaky little kids that was like, I'm gonna be an actor.

And you brought that up. You went to your mom and dad at a young age and said, hey, I think I wanna do this. I went to them. I saw the musical Oliver at a community theater. Okay. And I saw all the little kids in it playing whatever the beggars or the hell they are.

And I was like. I'm better looking than that kid. I was like, hey. That kid's ugly, let's go. Cut the check. You! Hey, yeah, and I went to them, I was like, hey, mom, and there was a sign up sheet in the lobby

for a summer theater workshop, and I asked her to sign me up. No kidding. She signed me up, and I just knew I just knew and I was dumb. I was a kid. I didn't know what the hell was going on. It was like saying I want to be an astronaut. Yeah. I want to go to the moon. I mean I had about as much. You went there baby. Yeah. Yeah. The odds are about the same. Yeah. It's probably easier to get to the moon I think. Yeah. There's a there's a at least for if you want to go to the moon,

there's actually a protocol. Yeah. You're not sure. I'm going to build yourself a rocket ship and get to the moon. That's what it is. And then how long did you guys stay there? You moved you moved to L.A. or California at a certain point. Yeah. So my my my mom was headed into her third marriage. OK. When her the her third husband lived in LA,

so we got yanked over there, I mean yanked, because I was like, and this is how funny kids are, is like, okay, we have a chance to move to Malibu, California, or stay in a really rough neighborhood and date. I'm like, I'm staying here, I have friends, and I did not want to go. So it wasn't a thing where it's like, I'm just staying here. I have friends and I, like I did not wanna go. So it wasn't a thing where it's like, hey, we think Rob has a shot at this.

Let's get out. No. You're just moving out there. No, no, no. So you just happened to end up out there. Just happened to. That's crazy. And didn't want to. Like I wanted to be an actor, but I thought I'd stay in Dayton, all my friends,

go, you know, go to, you know, work at Wright State University in the theater department, maybe go to New York and try my luck there and that would have been the path. And then I would be on the moon. And then, but no, fate intervened and I ended up in LA. But you had booked a couple of things before you moved right? Nothing no nothing professional. I had I had done a lot of work in community theater and Summer rep in those days. They had like semi professional theaters that went through the country Okay, and so I did a couple of those but I'd never done anything

So when you get out there you like oh, we're in the Mecca. We're in Hollywood except I'm gonna take a shot at this. Yes, but except we lived in Malibu, and in those days, so this is 1976. Okay. In those days, Malibu was still an outpost. Gotcha. There was really, it wasn't like the agents and managers and billionaires lived, no, it was a fireman and teachers

and an architect and a dentist and one or two burnt out rock stars. And I can't talk about. Oh dude. That's a good town dude. Oh yeah, you'd walk up, you'd see like David Carradine hot off of Kung Fu, just tripping on acid. In his pajamas walking down the Pacific Coast Highway.

Hey Rob, what? No, that's the kind of shit it was for sure. Damn, that's crazy. It was a different time, and no kids, there was this, the Penn family, and they were down the street, and their dad was a TV director, and then the kid Sean was like.

Yeah, you really snuck into that. He had a, he had like a screen actor's guild card. Right? Because he did background work as an extra on Little House on the Prairie. But he had like a screen actor's guild card. Right? Because he did background work as an extra on Little House on the Prairie. Yeah. Because Dad directed that.

It was like, that was the extent of it. No kidding. But who was in your high school though? Your high school was pretty stacked, wasn't it? By the time I got to junior high in high school, it was stacked, but nobody was famous yet. But it was people who would be famous at certain point. It was Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, his brother,

Sean Penn, his brother Chris, Robert Downey Jr. What a race for prom king that was. Seven of the hottest guys in the world rolling around. We were all nerds, dude. We were nerds. Did you play any sports out there? And I loved sports, but because, in the world rolling around? We were all nerds, dude. We were nerds. Did you play any sports out there? And I loved sports, but because none of those guys

were acting yet. OK. But I was. And so no coach was having my, hey, I got to mispractice today because I have an audition. Sure. I got to veto some soon commercial auditions. Rob's dancing somewhere.

He can't make it. I need to catch who's gonna be there every day. Hey Sugarfoot's going into Hollywood today, so we got somebody else at third base. Yeah, okay. So we're talking what, 15, 16? Yeah. So you start going out on auditions.

By 15 I've got a network TV show. Right, okay. But I'm auditioning at, I'm on the bus from Malibu in there by my little self at like 12, 13, 14. And what was your mom doing? Was she working at this time or was she a homemaker? What was that? She was a homemaker and she would drive me sometimes.

And I look back and I was really blessed. Like they had just the right amount of support. Gotcha. They were not, right amount of support. Gotcha. They were not, I mean, not stage parents. Yeah. I mean, I'd be like, I think I need some, they say I need pictures. They call them headshots.

I need to have one of those. And they were like, she was like, well, we can't afford it. And I'm like, well, I'll go get a paper route. So there was none of the, you know what you need? Yeah, get you in this class, do this. None of it, none of that. Really? That's good though.

That's awesome. Yeah, so I, which this class, do this. None of it. Really? That's good though. That's awesome. Yeah. So I do, which is great because it instilled work ethic. And was that your first job, a paper route? The paper route? Yes, it was. No, yes it was. OK.

You doing a bike on that? You riding the bike? I walked the first one and then I had a bike. You remember what you were zipping around in? What was the bike? Was it a Huffy? Was it a Schwinn? It was one of those early, like, Breaking Way.

Like, remember that movie? Like everybody had like the circled hand. It was like a race bike. Yeah. Those race bike ones. That's awesome. Yeah. I like it. OK. Not too bad. Nobody still lives in the house out there now, right? What's that in Malibu? In the house in Malibu? So the house in Malibu we moved into

was like a ranch house and just, you know, like in any normal neighborhood. Recently, in those Malibu fires, it burned down. Ah, sorry. The last Malibu fire, yeah. And I loved it because when we moved in, I couldn't believe that there was a broken down corral in the back, and in those days in Malibu, everybody rode a horse.

Still. That's nuts. Like you'd ride a horse to the market you make it sound like the 20s and our corral was made from the wood left over from the set of Planet of the Apes the most Hollywood shit I've ever heard dude Charlton Essence smoked a cigarette right. You believe that isn't that great? It's like that episode of Seinfeld where he finds a murder group and set yeah Turns his living room into a thought you go to Rob's place. He's got Star Trek doors They were half off it was a yard sale

Ma beat me up a french bread pizza with you What was the family car back then? Do you remember? Oh, do I remember? And is it just you, your brother, your mom and your stepdad? Is that the whole fam? Or did the stepdad have?

And my youngest brother, Micah, so yes. Okay. That's the family. Okay. And oh, this car, the previous husband bought it. And he was like one of the, and he's still around, Bill, I love him, he's great. But he was like, he was a lefty pinko

before lefty pinkos were a thing. Okay. Lefty pinko. Like he wouldn't, like he wouldn't be caught dead driving an American car. Really? He was one of those guys. And I remember he came to his work, our new car's gonna be a Volvo, as he used to say.

And I remember my grandpa was like a real country club Republican, was so disgusted. This European trash you're bringing over? I'm telling you, that thing never worked. Really? No, it was, today we would say it was a lemon. It never, and he never sold it, we never got rid of it, and in the fucking divorce, my mom got the Volvo,

and that was the family car. Oh, there you go. Station wagon. What was your first car? Oh, my first car. That was just from a paycheck? Or you just like, from a Hollywood paycheck? My first car was from a Hollywood paycheck.

I did the TV series, which did not last long, but the network liked me, and they gave me what they called a holding to your hair there We got some I'm talking and I had a holding deal from ABC God bless them and I used that money to buy my first car which was a Mazda 626 Just the most boring. Oh, I don't know I like it Tiny 80s. What are you? 80s was all right, and that was it's funny cuz um how old are you with this one dude. In the 80s? What are you talking about? Yeah, I'm not saying the 80s was alright. And that was it's funny cuz um.

How old are you at this point when you get the holding deal? 15. You're 15 so the check from the from the show even though how many see that had one or two seasons right? Once. So the paycheck from that wasn't that crazy but then they give you a holding deal. Yeah I think it was like 35k. You're coming from Dayton, Ohio. Yeah that's him it was like 35 K. You're coming from Dayton, Ohio. Yeah, that's him. It was like, I couldn't believe 15 year old and what did what did you what everybody say? Like, holy shit. Well, it's really funny because Downey and I, although

we were in history class together, okay, didn't didn't know each other that well. And so Robert Danny Jr. He's talking about. So when I had him- Especially you two circling each other in the room staring each other down. Hissing at each other like two alley cats. Yeah. Pfft. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. This is my territory.

When he was on my podcast, literally, get it wherever you get your podcast. Of course. Check it out gang. Downey, I was saying, what do you remember of our time in high school? And he says, the only thing I really remember was I could not believe that you had a Mazda 626.

And he knew. He remembered it to this day. Guy's got an Academy Award, he's holding a grudge. This guy driving around in a Z28. Who do you think you are, Lo? So you get the holding deal, okay, all right. And what did your stepdad do? How about this, for weird, he was a Jungian analyst.

A Jungian analyst? Jungian, Carl Jung, the psychiatrist. He was a psychiatrist. Oh, okay, all right. So it'd be like what were your dreams like last night? Yeah. No kidding. I don't know. The Rorschach test and all that stuff?

Yeah, and like every New Year's day, I'd be like, what were your dreams like last night? Yeah. No kidding. I don't know. The Rorschach test and all that stuff? I'd be like, yeah, and like every New Year's day, we would have to talk about, like do a videoed interview, family interviews, and talk about our dreams and life and whatever. I recently found the footage, it's so disturbing. It's insane. I can imagine, dude.

That was his office in the house? Yes. That's a big question. If you went to a dentist office or a doctor's office, that was in the house. That's a tough one. Yes. So you had people coming in and out.

So I'd be like watching, you know, Land of the Lost on Saturday and they'd be like, shh, he has a patient. Some lady wailing in the other room. Screaming. Yeah. the room. He's like, he has a pretty good system. Everybody comes in, you know, if you had a couple of cocktails the night before, maybe you worked out, not me, but whatever.

We nothing. When I live with my mom and him, that we they were always struggling for like, look super, super comfortable, but, but definitely barely middle. Not rolling. Gotcha. Yeah.

No, God, no, no, like, God no. We weren't going out. We maybe go out to dinner maybe twice a month. No dessert sometimes. And... Where would you hit? What'd you guys like to go? What was your spot if you guys went out to dinner? Oh man.

I'm telling you Malibu. There's a place called Beechers in Malibu and we saw Barbra Streisand once there. So funny. She had the Clams Casino. Took a doggy bag. Yeah, I mean, it was, yeah, there wasn't really... You guys would hit the beat. I mean, if you live in Malibu, you don't really need to go on summer vacation, technically.

Well, I'd have to go back to Ohio and see my dad. Oh, you go back there in the summer. I go back there and just start pounding the Shanling Little Kings cream ales. Oh, there we go. That's some good. You guys should get some of that. That's it. I remember it. I remember a Genesee cream ale. Genesee. I remember it, too.

The kegs. Yeah. My dad and his softball team would polish like those off after a game. They were all right. They were right? Cream ale was the thing. I never even hear of it anymore. Now, every once in a while you'll see a micro brew that'll put one out. What is the deal with a cream ale? I don't know, but it was good, man.

The foam was better. And the only way I really noticed from having a sip or two when I was like 12 or 13, like hey, take a little sip of this. You don't like beer, but it sounds pretty good. It's like a milkshake. Let's go. This is great stuff. Cream Ale is a light colored, well attenuated and crisp American beer style. That's best served cold. It's often described as a lawnmower beer.

There you go. That's a home run right there. Saturday afternoon beverage. And would you have chores around the house? Would you have to cut the grass and? Yeah, my favorite chore was so there are house in Malibu. Remember when people didn't have lawns and had rocks? Sure. We had one of those.

Well, you're a rock family. We were a rock family. And would they get rolled in every couple of years and you have to spread them around? No worse worse. So my mom was, at least she, in hindsight, I think she was, what is it, when you think you're sick all the time and you're not? Munchausen. Hypochondria.

No, hypochondria. But both. Both. Hypochondria with munchism by proxy. Gotcha. Okay. Which she focused on my brother, not me. Really? And so she couldn't be around chemicals of any sort. Okay.

Of any sort. Like, like, like, plastic, anything. So we couldn't use weed killer or anything like that. Sure. So in California we have this crab grass, which is super, super. Sure. Like it, it, there's, it's, it has roots

every two or three inches that you have to pull up. And you can't do it with gloves in the rocks because you can't get down to the. Is that the one that has the little pickers on it? Yes, that's the one. So we had to weed the rocks bare handed. And that was literally something I look back on and go, couldn't we just scraped, gotten rid of all the rocks?

Just put concrete down or something. Yeah, that was a bone of contention. And you finished out high school, how did you do in high school? You a good student? I was a good student. Good student? I loved school.

Which by the way, that is not a pathway to popularity. No, it's not. It's not. The whole kids aren't doing well. No, no, you don't wanna be the idiot. I was always like, first day of school, you pick your seat, I always picked front row center. Really?

And then, you know, I just was, that just was my thing. I was like, I'm in. I'm like, let's go, let's compete, let's do this. I mean, I was horrible in math. Really? Horrible. Okay. But anything else, I was straight A's.

Does after the show airs boost the popularity? Yeah, what's the social, what's your social circle looking like? Not great. Not, that's crazy. No, cause I was, again, I grew up where you wore Levi tough skins and you played, you know, Nerf football on the street. And they didn't do that in Malibu.

They were in like OP shorts and hang ten shorts. Right, hang ten shirts shirts and everybody surfed. I loved, I did love the ocean from the jump, but I did not surf, did not do any of it. Couldn't learn because they'd beat the shit out of you if you went out in the water. Beat the shit out of you, for real. I've seen the North Shore.

And so I couldn't do that, and I didn't play beach volleyball, which was like, that was like the equivalent of playing high school football in Texas. Gotcha. Yeah, it's that important. It's that important. Okay. And I wanted to be, and I was kind of a theater kid,

you know, and it was in a time when the business wasn't about young people at all. So if I went back to those schools, at least half the kids would have a Screen Actors Guild card now, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know how to change that. You. I know.

Yeah. I know. You, dog. No, it is, it is, it is. I mean, listen, I was at the right place at the right time, but yeah, I saw and was part of a seismic shift. But my point being, I was on the quad with the, I had great friends, but they were not the cool crowd.

Gotcha. Did you go to prom? I went to junior prom. Okay. Senior prom, I was, I'm sorry, I was starring in The Outsiders. There you go. There you go.

Can't make it. Can't make it. I'm on set right now. I got Coppola on the phone. Yeah, Francis is making me do another close-up. What was that, Frank? Enjoy the punch, I'm making a classic. So that's 17.

That's right, I turned 17 on the set. Okay, wild. Any pets growing up? Oh yeah, dogs came and went. I realized I think my parents had most of them killed. Jesus. Sent them to the farm? Yeah, the concept that a dog could live its whole life with you and could die in your arms was really like,

I couldn't imagine. I have five dogs now. I always have five dogs. And as one gets older and ill, we get a new one coming in. So I love my pack of dogs. My family loves them. And, but when I grew up, I had dogs,

but it was always like, I'd be like, come back from Ohio and be like, we have some sad news about, you know, snowflake. Yeah, I have my suspicions. No frogs, no lizards, snakes, anything like that. Birds. Gerbils, everybody had gerbils in the 70s gerbils were big. They're big we talking In and those guys they don't live long anyway. No, they got a shelf life of an avocado. Yeah, they're in and out

Yeah, but that was that was really it Yeah, that was not too crazy pretty good. Yeah first concert David Cassidy Partridge family. Whoa. Come on, Hera Arena, Dayton, Ohio. That's a good one. 1973. They were banging out arenas back then?

David alone. No kidding. And my memory of it is I'm so, you know you have like a kid memory that like, I just have a snapshot, I'm so far away from the stage. Uh-huh. And I've gone back to Hair Arena, it's probably 3,000 people.

You would have thought it was Madison Square Garden. And I remember he was this little dot in a white Elvis suit doing his thing. And then, so I was probably maybe eight. And then my first real, real, real concert was ELO. Okay. Electric Light Orchestra. Yeah, love them.

1977. That's a big tour for them. Yeah. University of Dayton. It was sick. Man, that's all right. It's a good one. ELO's a good one.

I'm from right there. Yeah. Any family recipes in the lineage there? Oh yeah, well my grandpa, who I just loved, owned a diner his whole life. It's still there, it's historic. It's in Sydney, Ohio. It's been there since 1908.

No kidding. It's still historically registered now. It's called The Spot. And- Great name. It was so sick. I bet you they put out a breakfast. Dude, they did it all. In those days, you had burgers,

we had steak sandwich, chicken sandwich, like pulled pork sandwich, but milkshakes. My favorite thing was with the pies. And I have a recurring dream of being a kid and walking into what they called it the walk-in cooler. Of course. And it was wall to wall with individually cut assortments of pies. And you'd be like,

and you could have whatever you wanted. And it was like, I'm gonna have chocolate custard. No, no, no, no, I'm gonna have a cherry. No, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna, it was. I have that same dream every night, baby. Yeah. I mean. He also lives out his dream. Daily night. That's awesome. OK.

Is that romaine lettuce? Iceberg. Iceberg lettuce cut up. And the dressing was? Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Really? Yes, I have that.

I have that as an absolute, my first meal memory. And it has to be no more than four years old because my dad and mom got divorced when I was four. And I remember us eating that sloppy Joe with iceberg lettuce chopped up in it and a little bit in it. Not in a dark. Our salad on the side just chopped up iceberg was chopped up iceberg with mayonnaise. No kidding. Holy shit.

Really? Oh, dude, that's why I'm so obsessed with this beer. I was gonna say, you walked in and sniped the cooler and started going over the bottles and everything. Yeah, that makes so much sense. I loved my beer can. This is when I was in Ohio and it was a huge thing. Like, I've done some rabbit hole recently

and people still do it, but I feel like it was one of those things like CB radios. Like we had this moment and I remember there was a family called the Iferts and they were across the street and they had a beer can collection of like 2,000 cans. And I was starting my skimpy little collection and you'd trade them and then in the woods one day I came across a cache of cone tops.

Cone tops? Cone tops, okay so cone tops are like finding a diamond. There was a period of manufacturing where they didn't have, there was a cone, a metal cone. I think I know what you mean. And then a bottle cap. Okay, like the aluminum cans now Yes. You say like sporting event. I found a Schlitz cone to schlitz is all it's in.

It's an A plus condition. Yeah, like that. Oh, wow. Looks like an oil can. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Cone tops. That's pretty sweet. And like if you had cone tops, you were the you were the man. You were going where were they displayed in the house in a room in my room. Yeah. What was the posters on the wall in your room? Oh, Farrah. Of course.

And the one sheets, which is what they call the movie posters, I didn't know they were called one sheets then, of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and All the President's Men. Wow. Not bad. That was my jam. And by the way, it kind of is who I am still. Really, it's like, I would do a Farrah poster. I would have a Farrah poster and I would have a picture

of there will be blood. Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's funny. I was a Heather Thomas man back in the day. Yeah. From the fall guy. Sure. Can you whistle with your fingers? No, never learned.

I sometimes put my head under in a cold plunge Okay, I love a big cold plunge guy gotcha, but it's a huge water person I saw on a guy water.

I'm not rolling in for that. I got other stuff I want to do at that time. Of course. Do you do massages? Love them. How, weekly? I can get on rolls where I do weekly. If I have the time and I'm not shooting

all over the place, I have a weekly massage. And what are you doing, an hour, 90 minutes? Two hours, what are you doing? I feel like an hour's too long. Really? Sorry, an hour's too short. I'm right there with you. And 90 minutes kinda.

Oh, oh, I've got a bunch of really good people. My number one person is Jason Schneidman, the men's groomer. And he comes to you.

Going back a little bit, the development deal you said was 30G. That was the biggest thing. Was there ever when you got the first real, real big check, was there a crazy purchase? Was there a jet ski? Was there anything like that? A housing you shouldn't have bought. Was a jet ski.

Yeah. But that was late in the game. That was mid 80s. I was well on my way when I bought the jet ski. I was well on my way when I bought the jet ski Love it And how quick did you move out of your your folks house? Like when you like when you got done with the outsiders Did you come back and live with your mom and your stepdad?

I did and I started I started working so much after the outsiders. I basically did two movies a year And so I was never home, so I never felt the need to move out, and it was actually kind of nice to come home. So I mean, I was gone all the time. And then if I wasn't working on location, and they were always on location in those days, then I'd be in New York for doing interviews or something like that.

And so when I came home, I really wanted to be with my high school buddies and my friends and my mom and my dad. And sure, eventually I bought the family sort of a mini little compound in Malibu. And I had a little guest house. My man. Love it. Taking care of the squad. That's great. I love it. So no roommates.

Wasn't like you and Chris Penn living in a place and- And were you the first one to pop out of that high school crew, out of the guys in your high school? Yes, well- It's probably all very close. No, Emilio at the same time. Emilio and I both started working at the same time.

Yeah. I remember that was then, this is now that he was in. Remember that movie? Yeah, that was a tough one. How about he wrote that movie? He did he wrote it. That's crazy You get I mean he was milio was it continues to be he was he had the most ambition I don't know Tom's right up there and so am I I look back at everybody was so We're all here. Tell what he was industrious. I like that. Great word.

I wrote that, that's nuts. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. No one was thinking about that. I was like, I want to star in another movie, and then he's like, you know, I'm gonna write a movie? Yeah. That's crazy. And then I'm gonna like, yeah.

That's like something in the 90s that the guys were doing. I know, way ahead of his time. I mean, people talk about the Brat Pack and this and that, but I think the thing that disappointed certain members of the brat pack is that it never took into account how industrious and Ambitious and hard-working everybody was yeah, and they we all loved to party, but that became the the headlines Oh, yes, and how talented and hard- hardworking. Yeah, that's awesome.

Favorite flavor of Gatorade? Well, growing up, there was only green. Sure. Remember Gatorade gum? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Get that right in the back of dude. It was tangy. Yeah. I was also a major league chew guy. Big league chew.

Rob Lowe's doing big league chew. Yeah, that's some good shit. Because you know, Charlie Sheen and my brother and I, they were going to be major league baseball players, right? I've heard that he wanted to be a ball player. No, and he could throw it. If you see major league, he's a real actual baseball talent. Throw heat.

Oh yeah, and could hit. So we would play tennis ball baseball, where we'd throw it. Like. That was so fun as a kid. It was the best, right? It was the best. And we'd get Major League, Big League chew,

You didn't put that together. To think, dude, I have been telling. Hey, somebody take a picture of that. I am so damn dumb. Sure. But maybe it's because the person who gifted it to me was Cary Grant. Okay.

Cary Grant was on the board of Faberge that makes some of the stuff we're talking about. And I was trying to date his daughter. Okay. And she was having none of it. But she did invite me to her house to watch my after school special. Right.

That I did called Schoolboy Father. And I watched it with her and Cary Grant. That's nuts. And when I was driving away in my Mazda 626, can't forget those 626s. He ran down the driveway with a handful of Brute aftershave and a soap on the rope. A microphone soap on the rope.

Like a canvas, a heavy duty blue, royal blue canvas bag with the Battle of the Network Stars ABC logo on it.

And I had that bag, my ABC bag. Anybody see my ABC bag? For years. Oh my god, I loved it so much. How many of those Battle of the Network stars were you in? Never in them, but went to a bunch of them. That's awesome. Christy McNichol in that dunk tank Yeah, I remember Roy Schneider wearing a pair of short shorts. Just looking like a man Bob Bob Conrad Grizzly Adams Yeah, come on. That's good stuff

To me it was like it was like going to literally I felt like I was at a mixture of, you took the Super Bowl and the Oscars. And mixed them together. But you think of it today though, if you did it today, and I've tried to, I've actually tried to develop it. Well he can't get it done, we're not gonna do it. Well you can't just.

I don't stand a chance if Rob Lowe can't do it. No I've tried to, and they did a version of it, but the problem is in those days, there were three networks that was it. So today it would have to be, you'd have to have the cast of Game of Thrones are in the kayaking pool along with- Fighting some guys from Tubi or something like that.

Yeah, you'd have to all the stud, like James Gandolfini is going up against Martin Sheen in the tug of war. Like you need the star, the real star. It was the real no fool and star. Yeah. So very segmented. So it's like now it'd be like Jennifer Aniston is going up against Nicole Kidman from the morning show in the relay race.

That's like that's not happening now. Yeah, that's not. How sick would that be? I would tune in for sure. Do you have a slip and slide when you were a kid? We made them. There you go.

You use it every way. But you're doing hands? No, but hands.

Yeah. You go straight hands. No, I'll do a loofah. So if I whenever hear the word loofah. Yeah, it's tough. Well, it's because I remember dating a girl in the 80s and, but we were like, we were okay with dating other people and I remember she had a date with Bruce Willis.

And I said, how'd that date go? She goes, it was kind of gross. He asked me to loofa his back. What? So whenever I hear the word loofa. And that's a crazy story. He's got that competitive streak in him. You know what I mean?

Yeah, industrious what I mean? Industrious. How industrious of Willis. Will you pee in the shower? Fuck yeah. I'm a man. Brush your teeth in there ever? No, I sometimes think why am I not doing that?

I was anti for the first two years of the show. I tried it as a bit. Can't go back. Yeah. Come out completely clean, everything's done. Why wouldn't you do it? It's great. You just can't leave it in there.

Let me ask you this. Yeah. The, this, again, my wife. Like I would just have a toothbrush. Sure. And be happy. But she's got me like the I don't, I still. I like the hand. I like the analog. Yeah.

You floss in every day. I am. You floss. But and just because I got to a certain point in my life where I feel like, I got to get that. Not because I'm supposed to. Like, you're supposed to do it. And for years I was like, I'm not doing that. And then I'll. Do it for a feel thing. Like overnight. I'm like, oh, I got to. Well, you hit a toothpick after coming out of the steakhouse and do a little housecleaning. Love it. Love it, you hit a toothpick after coming out of the steakhouse and do a little house cleaning? Love it. Love a good toothpick. All right.

So you go to dinner with friends, a man or lady of your similar success. You sit down. Who's picking up the check, and how do you decide that? I mean, I always try to. And my move is I just, when I get up and go to the bathroom, get the card., slip the card. It's the pro move.

Who would you have to be out with for you? I mean I assume you're picking up most checks. Maybe they go out with your agents or something they'll pick up the check. My favorite thing ever is when you get busted. Like they go like they go this taken care of and you're the person you're there's like wait No, come on. You're like, no, no, it's something is well. All right, at least let us split it and I go Okay, and you guys I just split a check with a guy who's worth 17 billion Do they mean it's like me and Iron Man just went half and half on a margarita fuck is going on Yeah, yeah, that's that's definitely a weird weird. I don't like the split. It's just get me next time To bajillionaires

I didn't have a coat Do you like a Hawaiian pizza? Hell no. Hit him Rob. I thought we were going to be boys. God are you that oh that's that's a hill I die that that divides me from my fellow humans. Sure. Did you have a frozen pizza back in the day that you liked or now. Dude, when I was still drinking and partying,

if you went to my Nichols Canyon, Hollywood, Man Cave, Miami Vice, Blue Bachelor Pad with Dire Straits on the CD. There you go. On the CD. Yeah, yeah. Five disc changer, what were you rocking? Yeah, five disc changer.

You would go in and you would find Wolfgang Puck's frozen pizza. Whoa! That's got to be the clansiest answer. And a beer bong. Ha ha ha! The duality of man, as they say. Ah, ha. Do you enjoy a deviled egg?

Very much so. Sure. If you eat burgers? My grandpa had a burger joint. Okay, so when you take a bite of a burger, how do you put it down? Do you put it down bottom down or do you invert it and put it top? Who inverts it? I've never seen any... No one inverts a hamburger. It's about 50-50. Get out of here. For the reasons, because typically the bottom bun is smaller. Well, it makes perfect sense actually. And it gets... It gets too soggy. No, it makes perfect sense actually. And it gets too soggy.

No, it makes really good sense. And the top, and you flip it so it can absorb the juices. God damn. Will you cut a burger in half? No. Or you like the whole thing? Nope, I won't do that. Will you cut a burrito in half?

Or do you like the whole thing? I won't do anything that requires more effort. Okay. If I could start just jamming on something, I'm eating it. I respect that. I see you're not, what if you order takeout, are you ordering takeout to the house? A lot, yeah. Do you plate that or do you eat that out of the container it comes in? It's so funny, I don't, I don't have a rule one way or the

other. Just whatever happens, happens. You're with, okay. And will you and the Mrs. eat at the kitchen table or will you guys ever sit in front of the TV in the living room? Oh and it makes me feel like maybe we're getting older now because more and more meals are in front of the television. Yeah, gotta have something fill the silence you know. You get to like year 33 of marriage like I don't care how our day was. I can guess how your day went. I don't care. When day was. I can guess how your day went. Norah and I don't care. When you guys fall asleep at night, will you have the TV on?

Okay, so this is, my wife loves that. It's not that she needs the TV on to fall asleep, but she loves TV. Okay. I'm ambivalent about, it's funny, I make my living on it, but I'm super ambivalent about actually watching it. Understandable.

And I love to go to sleep. If I could go to sleep in King Tut's sarcophagus. Yeah, shut out. You would do it. I would do it. I want black out, no noise. Doing sleep mask? Not unless I need it.

Okay. If I need it, yeah. And it's like, if I have to leave the light on, because she'll be in the other room and come in later after Her shows are over. I'll have the the mask on what time are you shutting it down? What time you going in on a normal night?

That's a guy who's been cool since 82. There's three things I get up for, you know what they are. Do you do, do you do, not every day, I know you keep it very tight, but do you do a breakfast in the morning? Do you like an ice breakfast? I love an ice breakfast, but I now pretty much have,

I realized that I used to never eat breakfast, and then I started, and like, my teenage years I never ate breakfast, and I was like a bean pole. So I'm like, I'm gonna go back to behaving like that, so I don't really eat it, but when I do, I love it. It's actually my favorite meal. Yeah.
