This is a HeadGum Podcast. I like to listen to it. So Adam's listening to the theme. We, of course, have Adam Devine here.
And he's, well, it's no secret that he's passionate about music.
I mean, we are dealing with Bumper.
Bumper.
And is Bumper is in Burbank now, is that correct?
What's up?
Where's Bumper? Is Bumper currently in Burbank now, is that correct? What's up? Where's Bumper?
Is Bumper currently in Burbank?
No, Bumper's going to different places.
Yeah, Bumper, he was in Berlin.
He was in Berlin.
I knew it was Bur-something.
Yeah, it was Bur-something.
Bumper in Burbank.
Yeah, yeah.
That might be the second season.
We are talking about what we're doing the second season.
He might go to Burbank.
Okay.
Or Belgium or Baltimore.
Anything with a B.
Anything with a B.
Okay.
Well, I mean, we had some ideas about what to talk about on the show.
We could think of, yes, we could just think of things with B.
Bumper and Bayonne, New Jersey.
And that is a real place.
But that's writing.
I just want to say that's writing.
That's what writing is. Yes. And we're place. But that's writing. I just want to say that's writing. That's what writing is.
Yes.
And we're not really doing that right now.
Oh, we're not?
I figured this is the Hollywood handbook.
We're actually not.
We're not going to do writing.
We're actually pencils down right now.
And I just want to say, so I support.
Pencils down means pencils down.
I support everything that the Guild is doing.
Nice. I'm obviously that the Guild is doing. Nice.
I'm obviously in solidarity right now.
And just because I have like a couple little criticisms,
I don't want that to be like, oh, you're like against the Guild or whatever.
No, no, no.
And they said pencils down.
They didn't say laptops down.
Okay.
And that's another no.
It's like no one.
I guess let me know all the things I have to put down or else I'm going to not put everything down.
I'm holding a laptop.
I'm typing and it's like, we said pencils down.
It's like, I know that.
Yeah.
Do you think this is a pencil nimrod?
Yeah.
Right?
Don't be a nimrod.
I'm saying this to David Goodman.
Not in front of Sean.
Don't be a nimrod.
Please, please.
Also the signs.
I have such nimrod radar.
Yeah. Like I can always feel it when someone's being a nimrod yeah i know that about you also pencils down okay but now we're writing on these signs so
like what is it like the signs yeah well you're like making some markers up it doesn't say markers
down the signs are also way too small the signs should all be blank and the signs should be
enormous they need to be a lot bigger i my eyes are i guess not what they used to be like i need like with the size and do we
think that since the actors seem like they're gonna go on strike are they gonna be able to
use pencils and pens are you breaking news are you breaking news right now oh i got a little
inside scoop okay yeah i got a little inside scoop. Okay. Yeah, I got a little inside scoop.
This is news breaking.
Adam has the inside scoop.
Yeah, that it is possible that the actors do go on strike.
The actors could possibly go on strike.
So by the time you're hearing this, they will probably either have gone or not gone on.
But you will know that Adam told us first, they might.
That's really good. That's really reassuring to hear so i because the signs are too small i need to do huge letters so i can only fit
six characters at a time on on a sign when i'm doing the signs like donald mickey daffy all the
main characters donald daffy and Mick Shirk.
Daisy, the friends.
Screwed McDuck.
Those are the friends from Friends.
Donald, Mickey, Daffy, Wolverine, and Raphael.
Yeah.
The crew.
I mean, like, six.
I'm kind of the Raphael of my friend group.
I knew that about you, dude.
Yeah.
You're cool, but rude.
I know.
For sure.
So on my most recent sign i wrote
sag bag to just be like sack like time to like go secure the bag like time to go get a deal but i
was informed that that had actually set back their negotiations a lot yes fran couldn't climb out of
that hole fred called and was like super respectful, super nice, but she asked me not to write
sag bag on my sign anymore
because they had lost
some leverage.
That makes a lot of sense.
She was kicking it with Kim K.
And in France, I think.
And we're acting like that wasn't strategic.
Fran knows what she's doing, okay?
The nanny has it all planned out it's a signal okay
she is letting them know like i have clout i have access to people with a big microphone
so basically we're saying that fran is q fran's q i mean like yeah i'll go beyond basically like
this is i think pretty much proven at this point is that
what we're saying fran's cute she's giving signals yes are they coming true yet to be seen
because like i just broke they possibly might it could go on they might possibly go on strike and
that's from fran to adam and think about the film jack always Always. When don't I?
When Fran is sort of indirectly, in my memory, seducing the 10-year-old boy Jack, who has an adult body.
Yeah.
She's sending little signals.
Yeah.
She's letting him know what could happen.
Yeah.
True.
And that is what she's doing right now to the MPTPP.
And just to underscore,
like if we didn't have SAG,
if SAG didn't exist for the movie Jack,
they would have had to find a real guy who,
who that was happening.
Yes,
absolutely.
And that,
that would have been hard to do.
That would have been really hard,
and we might not have ever seen that movie. We'd be very sick.
I probably wouldn't have seen it,
because you know why I saw it?
Robin Williams.
Yes, that's right.
And if it was just what appeared to be an old man,
but really he was 10,
that might have grossed me out.
I may not have bought a ticket.
Yes.
We're going to film this little kid.
He's going to die.
Yeah, it's going to be really sad. But he looks old. Yeah, he's gonna die yeah it's gonna be really sad he
looks old yeah yeah that's really sad that's why we need sad thank you i don't want you to use up
all your thank yous yet yeah i don't need to save earn off thank you how many do i get
what are we at now we we try to make sure that in a given episode,
we don't have people.
Thanking too many people.
Because it starts to be meaningless.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I take it back.
This is why people talk about,
you know,
you say I'm cool,
but rude.
Yeah.
And sometimes my rudeness is just me being very careful.
Yeah.
With how often I say things like,
please, thank you, I'm sorry, I was wrong.
I want to say thank you for letting me know that.
Don't.
But I won't.
Please don't.
Just say that you want to.
It's going to be a lot.
I wish I could thank you.
I would like to say it.
Yes.
What I'll say is I wish I could thank you.
I wish I could apologize.
I wish I could see where I was wrong.
I want to thank you, and I'm used to getting what I want.
But this time, I'm not going to not – what I want, I'm not going to do.
Not say what you want.

Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science-backed language learning app that actually works.
Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language and the question that i always get people stop me and they say like
hey i like i i trust you i know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you
really use and care about but there's one language that i'm trying to learn
and that's body language so can babble teach me body language? Yes. Babbel now has visual in-person lessons.

is handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language

Babbel is designed by real people for real conversations,
and that includes body-based conversations.
What does it mean when
you drop someone off after a nice date and they turn around at the door and they take their little
index finger and they kind of like draw it towards them they're pulling it what does that mean does
their finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull
down the spider down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need and have
needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger
because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've
got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle
and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost
and they're really aggressively
like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to drive get out of the car yes or just do it out
the window as i'm going that's what i've been doing dangerous yeah but some of these very subtle
body language cues have escaped me and many listeners i'm sure babble's tips and tools are approachable accessible rooted in real
life situations at which i have all the time and delivered with conversation-based teaching so

point by like dress 14,
15,
I think it starts to become clear.
Like these aren't the dresses.
Oh no,
they were not from the movie.
They didn't resemble anything from the movie.
They were not,
they were either way too big or way too small for a human to wear.
And one of them was a dressing.

Hollywood Handbook.
We want to talk about the work.
Oh, my God.
We need to get into the work.
We want to talk about the craft.
The guy's in the number one movie in the world.
Yes.
As of right now, we've probably fallen out to the Peppa Pig movie
that's down the pipeline.
That one's coming out in a few weeks, probably knocks off our throne.
I would not go toe-to-toe with that.
I don't want to, but here it comes.
We are number one, Outlaws.
The Outlaws, with a hyphen.
Yeah, with a hyphen.
Talk about that conversation.
Well, it's the in-laws right but they're the
outlaws so we're not talking we're not talking writing right now because it is pencils and
markers and laptops down so that's right i don't want to get you did that like you already went in
this already happened but you can you can explain it to me because I almost get it. Yeah.
You said it's the in-laws.
Mm-hmm.
They are my in-laws, future in-laws, yeah.
Pierce Brosnan, Ellen DeGeneres.
So I'm close.
Okay.
But then why in the movie called the in-laws?
Why isn't it called the in-laws?
Why isn't the movie called the in-laws?
Well, it's called the outlaws. Yeah. Were you asking why it isn't called the in In-Laws? Why isn't the movie called The In-Laws? Well, it's called The Outlaws.
Yeah.
Were you asking why it isn't called The In-Laws?
Why is a movie called The In-Laws now called The Outlaws?
Yeah.
Fair.
Why did we start calling it The Outlaws?
Okay, well, did you see the trailer so i have this queue and and it is right near the top because i am a trailer
junkie sure i love this stuff so um i am so excited for the trailer yeah well it's been out
for a few weeks now so you probably could have perfect and so that's probably why it's inching
right up to the top of that for sure the peppa
pig trailer i have been you know jumped ahead double dipping on a little bit yeah one that
could yeah i get that get all of it in one viewing another scoop uh-huh yeah uh well
essentially they are muddy puddles they're they're bank robbers so um and then they meet me. Grossman. Barkin. So why is it called The Bank Robbers?
Because that is, I want to say that that's a worse title,
but now that you pitch it, it sounds good.
It shouldn't be called that.
Yeah.
And I don't know why it is.
Yeah.
I want to say thank you for giving me that, but I won't.
Okay, please don't.
Because we already have the posters.
And you always tell them.
What if their last name.
Movie is already out.
Their last name or your last name is banks
uh i feel like that's a little on the nose then it could be called the banks
the banks robbers in-laws in-laws edition oh welcome to the in-laws
yeah and that's food for thought you know yeah If we do a sequel, I feel like maybe we –
Obviously, it's pencils down.
It's pencils down now, so I can't do anything other than consult with AI.
What do we think a sequel was?
That's the only thing you can do right now.
Yeah, it's weird that you have to do that.
Aren't we trying to stop it from happening?
Well, technically, there's no pencils involved.
You just sort of whisper into the AI machine.
Honestly, we should be encouraging using pencils instead of –
Yeah.
If anything, pick up your pencils. Consulting with AI. Because everyone's consulting with AI machine. Honestly, we should be encouraging using pencils instead of just consulting with AI. Yeah, if anything, pick up your pencils
because everyone's consulting with AI now.
Well, this phone's always listening, man.
Yeah.
You know, we do these episodes,
and it's like, I'm going to open up my phone after this,
and I'm going to have, what, a bank on there, right?
I'm going to have a text from my in-laws.
I find myself, so i open up my instagram and i'm looking at the algorithm and i was just thinking about hot babes
uh-huh and then what happened it was showing me these babes what yeah and i was like immediately
i was just thinking about that and i had had just said out loud, hot babes.
You were eating a salad.
Yes.
And then you were like, you know what I like?
Hot babes.
Picked up the phone and then that's what happened.
And my phone is full of these babes.
Hayes will say to me, excuse me, I need to go masturbate.
Yeah.
Most polite.
Before he even is out of the room he opens his phone yeah and i can see the imagery
are things that he finds sexually appealing and i think is this hot babes or yes hot babes in this
case too yes the hot babes yeah because a lot of things can turn a man on sexually oh my god and i
didn't think we were gonna get into this my weakness babes are my babes are your
my one weakness that's one of my weaknesses too okay there's i'm kind of unusual this way there's
this one particular thing that appeals to me what's up hot babes it's something of okay well
so i've shared some stuff with him that I'll share with you too. Some pictures. Bunch of pictures of?
Yeah.
Of babes.
Of babes?
Yes.
Wow, dude.
I have a little supply. Getting me kind of riled up in the studio right now.
No, I know.
Guys, we have a whole episode to record.
Slow it down.
I'm thinking hot babes all of a sudden.
I might not be able to get through the interview.
Look, and I married.
Yeah.
Like, it was a conversation.
Yes.
I think you're a hot babe
i didn't put mine on in 2023 i think i didn't put mine on yeah you walk out of the house you go
it was in the in little i walked down i said just in case hot babes come up yeah
keep this one we talked about like king shaming and like i think in 2023 it's like okay to be out there publicly and saying yeah to and
don't shame me for liking yes hot babes yes for and also my version of hot might be different than
other men's version of hot but i like oh my god absolutely well-empowered uh really nice
plump looking uh juicy in the right ways
so that's hot babes and that's just kind of my thing and i know that
might be off base for a lot of uh men but no but you have this particular yeah and who knows why
what you know we're not going to do some psychoanalysis doesn't make a lot of sense
become like your kind of fetish yeah um yeah but you like thick fit beautiful women yeah and i'd say that's spot
on you have like a swimwear thing i know i do like some swimwear yes and the right ways i was
hoping we wouldn't get into this but yeah it's actually you've been hoping we're not going to
get a lot of stuff because we did want to talk about the work i do i'd like to get into the
work that you're on the circuit because this you get into the work that you're doing. Because you're on the circuit.
You're doing it right now.
I'm currently on the circuit, yeah.
The Banks Robbers movie has been...
Yes.
The Outlaws.
It's on Netflix right now, yeah.
Yeah, Outlaws.
Even better.
Even better time.
Yeah.
It should be called that.
I mean, I don't want to get back into this, but like...
Yeah.
Because you're doing this.
What else?
Where have you been going?
Like, what have you hit?
Well, The Righteous Gemstones is out right now.
Is that what you're asking?
No.
Or other podcasts I've done?
No, I'm talking about podcasts.
Well, I couldn't do any of the talk shows because no one watches them.
Wow.
Yeah. More people watch the hollywood handbook
are you breaking news hollywood minute watch the hollywood hand more people watch the hollywood
handbook than watch the talk shows yep wow and you couldn't do that you're better off doing
you're better off doing the tiktok shows than the talk shows yeah is that i mean is that right that was so clever sean yeah i
wow yeah it's the like the third or fourth episode in a row that he's he said that or like
yeah yeah uh well yeah no technically it was writers but it was cursed to me every time
pencils down uh on fallon and the Kimmel's and all the Jimmy's.
And you couldn't do the talk show.
So I'm doing every podcast.
And so I finally made my way to the Hollywood Handbook.
And I'm glad.
Yeah.
And you guys were at the top of the list.
But it was the scheduling.
The schedules are nuts now, man.
Yeah.
Wish in some ways that this had been prioritized and this
could have been first and so we could have avoided some of the issues on on some of these other
podcasts right yeah first because we do we do try to identify where some of the potholes might be
on your path to promotion yeah okay let's talk about Theo Vaughn.
For anyone who doesn't know,
Theo Vaughn is a comedian.
I have to wait.
We have to wait.
I keep talking while you drink.
Yeah, keep going. Okay, so don't wait.
Don't wait.
I'll still wait.
Okay.
So Theo Vaughn is a comedian.
It's short for Theo Vaughn Helsing.
He was originally famous for being on
mtv i'm talking i know i know you're doing great you're okay yeah um he was on mtv global grind
i'm just taking a sip of something no i know i am talking i'm doing what he's telling me to do
yeah he's you're doing great yeah so he was originally a star on MTV's...
I think he was on Global Grind.
He was Road Rules.
Okay.
You guys are the hosts of Hollywood.
Again, I wish you had done this show first before going on his show.
He was on Global Grind.
Well, he might have done both.
He might have done both.
He definitely was in Road Rules.
No, he did.
Guys, please do me a favor.
Okay, I believe you. you hey it's your show i mean it's is it i don't know how to proceed from here like
the only thing he did was global grind well he was and he was on dead at 21 starring jack
noseworthy wasn't he okay so like yeah eventually so he's had credits yeah so he has
credits yeah exactly and so theo vaughn uh has is doing this podcast now and he has comedians
mostly but like different kinds of stars on the show to like talk about different things and it's
kind of loose in its structure and it's a big hit your podcast yeah
but it is loose i mean that's interesting to point out so you do end up wandering into some
dangerous territory we try to always kind of have clear segments have things decided that we're
going to address beforehand because we do end up in these situations where you know uh if you don't
kind of demarcate this topic is off limits this topic is allowed then you can and so this is end
up in some trouble like okay is there a hot babe well i just looked this up to prove i was i was right about
global ground and just as we're talking about theovan being on road rules my phone is now
saying that theovan was on road was on road yeah like this is like the algorithm out of control
it's crazy you look up jack noseworthy for me jack. Yes. And why did we bring up the Theo Vaughn podcast?
You did the show.
You did the show.
And God bless him.
Talented guy.
Funny guy.
I don't know that he has the hosting experience that Hayes and I have.
Sure.
Where he can kind of keep you inside the lines.
In the pocket.
Yeah.
Because you did wander into some dangerous territory like what's up yeah uh
so this is jack noseworthy this isn't kit pardue i don't know who that man you're telling me this
isn't kit pardue uh that's not the uh rollerblade kid from brink i was it brink or blink i it was
brink it was brink i guess if my name were Jack Noseworthy, maybe he changed it to Kip Pardue.
Yeah.
You can't just be going out here and name Jack Noseworthy for too long.
Well, he established a career for himself as Jack Noseworthy.
You did Theo Vaughn's podcast.
I did.
And you talked about how comedy movies are hard.
Well, let's watch the clip.
Let's watch the clip.
Do we want to watch the whole clip?
We have some ground to come back from here.
So, like, can we...
Do we pull it up?
Yeah.
There he is.
I might be wearing the same exact clothes.
The fit is correct.
Hang on.
It turns out this is my podcast uniform.
Yeah, I think I've had this shirt on three days in a row.
Okay, so let's put our headphones on.
Glad you got that sip in.
Dude, I was, you know, there was a spit take coming.
Yeah.
Hollywood handbook.
Especially comedies nowadays, you have to like mask it.
This is why it's a big action comedy because
you really have to go like action action and then and then it's a comedy you know you watch
comedies now pause the clip are you saying that your movie doesn't have much comedy no there's a
lot of comedy but i was saying that comedies nowadays you have to mask it with so it has to be an action
comedy you can't market it as just we're being funny we're being funny you have to go like we
have the onlaws and they're gonna do like all this crazy stuff should we let it's a trojan horse
yeah it's a comedy isn't it yeah that's right should we let him watch you know and then we can
go back through it and okay let's watch the whole clip and then
go and then we'll go all the way thank you guys thank you for this no this isn't a fucking comedy
you're not where's the jokes like where's the bits bad yeah comedy's gotten kind of bad yeah
kind of sucks yeah movie comedy movie yeah there's still i said movie yeah it's a movie yeah i know
you guys are gonna come back to watching the whole clip. Yeah, okay. Why?
Luckily, my theory is I think Marvel ruined it.
I feel like superhero movies kind of ruined comedies because people watch – you go to the theater and you expect to watch something that costs $200 million to make.
And comedy movies aren't that.
So you're like, well, why would I spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in a theater if I could spend the same amount of money and go see something that is worth $200 million? And then now there used to be something like every studio would put out several comedies every year.
And there was like 45 or 46 comedies in the theaters every year.
I said that number like I knew the first amount.
There's only comedy in the theaters.
And then now, last year, there was like six or seven.
Hollywood Ham.
Wait. You want me to keep talking? Don't wait. Don't wait. Wait, wait.
You want me to keep talking? Don't wait, don't wait.
Okay.
Okay.
So you said that Marvel is responsible for comedy movies being bad now.
Marvel destroyed comedy.
You did it.
What?
You're spitting?
Oh, you're surprised?
That's the takeaway from this.
For me.
That was the spit take yeah we're we're doing
it i would say hey you i know comedy you could tell by that clip yeah well obviously and
oh man and that was that was quite a quite a clip but i I'm surprised that you're surprised that Hayes took that away
because it sounded like you said almost directly that at least your theory was that Marvel
movies had destroyed comedy.
Okay, that was a little more vigorous.
Wow, dude. You didn't took away from that you didn't you don't think that's what you said you said it's marvel's fault
you just said it in the clip yes we want to talk about like that's you know maybe not the best
thing to say is that like it's marvel's fault i don't know if that's exactly what i said
oh okay what do you think are you asking like the essence of what i said yeah i guess i guess that's
what i'm looking for now because that's what i heard but maybe i missed something yeah uh yeah
i think you missed a lot because i didn't say essentially i didn't say that okay what did you
what did you say or what were you trying
to say that I missed? Marvel rocks.
Marvel rocks. What happened
to be a part of the cinematic universe?
Okay.
What I think I was trying to get across is
people don't want to go to comedies
if you have something as cool and dope
to watch as that rocks so hard.
Marvel's so good.
Why would you want to go see a stupid little comedy?
Right.
Stupid little comedy in the theater.
My shit sucks.
I'm a loser.
Marvel's cool.
Marvel rocks.
Yeah.
Marvel, will you hang out with me?
Will you hang out with me, please?
Okay.
I didn't get that, but that's interesting.
That didn't come through in that clip.
Okay.
It may have been edited strange or something, too.
That's what it is.
It's the editing, probably.
Yes. Okay. Yes.
Okay.
But even so, I wonder if there's a way to be going and doing press and saying, like, Marvel's good.
My stuff is also good.
My stuff is also good.
I wasn't necessarily saying my stuff isn't good.
I'm saying my stuff is good.
Okay.
But in the theaters, specifically for this movie, because this movie that i just did the outlaws yeah on
netflix yeah it's awesome and it's on netflix and you could watch it at home and then if you want to
take your money and get in your car and drive down to the theater then you go watch a cool
thing go watch a marvel movie thing because i i love marvel so yeah because you were saying like... Because I love Marvel.
Yeah.
Watch this.
Captain America.
I'm new Captain America. One thing that was confusing to me...
I'm saluting just like Captain America, I think.
Or is it up like this or is it like this?
Something that was interesting to me about what you said...
He does salute a little differently.
I think it's a little...
See, that's what I'm going to do differently than Chris Evansans because he was i think he was like more like straight on very straight yeah i'm
gonna cover one eye yeah but stay you stay flexed you come out you stay flexed yeah you cover the
right eye well and isn't that what america has done is turn the blind eye to some of the so-called justice that we're supposed to be seeking yeah
yep you know and so the real captain america would have to be at least partially blind in
order to let some of the atrocities take place that have and right now i know this once great
nation of ours sort of pitching an incredible movie but it is pencils down right now yeah yes
we're not writing that is writing what you're right now yeah yes we're doing that we're not writing
right now that is writing what you're doing yeah currently what you're doing is writing
isn't it true adam it is that while you while you may have accidentally implied that marvel movies
destroyed comedy that marvel movies are funny as fuck. And they actually are comedy. They are comedy, dude.
Yeah.
Maybe they killed comedy by being $200 million
to be so funny.
Yeah.
Because why would you pay the same amount of money
when you could pay the same amount of money?
Like, why would you pay the same amount of money
to see the...
Why would you...
Yeah, what?
When you're trying to pay this...
I have... Do I have to this, I have this much money.
So I'm trying to go see a movie.
Yeah.
How much money is that?
I fit like $200 million.
Yes.
That's what you said.
$200 million.
Yeah, well, to make a Marvel movie, to make a big Marvel movie.
Yeah, just to make it to the movie is $200 million at this point. Yeah, with all the concessions and the parking. And I'm like, yeah, trying to make a big marvel movie yeah just to make it to the movie money and dollars at this point
yeah with all the concessions and the parking yeah i'm like yeah trying to make it on time
gotta get a sitter right yeah that being said i love the movies and i love marvel and i love uh
the cinematic universe that they've built that's your that's your camera sorry i know it's i know
it's kind of set up weirdly but like that is your camera. So yeah, if you can get a snake around and hit that one.
Yeah, give it to your camera because I do think...
Yeah, that's yours.
I love Marvel.
That's better for us.
I love the cinematic universe that they've built, and I love going to the movies.
AMC, Regal, Pacific.
Calvin Klein.
Might as well say who you want to...
Calvin Klein.
Okay.
Calvin Klein. What about Calvin Klein? We just got a little... Oh, a little sneak peek at the to. Calvin Klein. Okay. Calvin Klein.
What about Calvin Klein?
Yeah.
We just got a little.
Oh, a little sneak peek at the end.
A little sneak visit.
A little cameo from our friend Calvin Klein.
Yeah.
Sean might have been there when I bought these pair.
It's true, man.
Remember when we went to the mall when we were riding workaholics?
North Ridge Mall.
Yeah.
Yeah, babe.
I bought some underwears.
This could be those pairs.
Might as well say what character you want to be while you're here. If you're talking, you know. Northridge Mall yeah I bought some underwears this could be those bears yeah
might as well say
what character
you want to be
while you're here
if you're talking
you know
he's pitching himself
for Captain America
oh right
yeah
but I don't think
I think they're going
with Anthony Mackie
for that one
okay
you know
I feel like I would be
what's like the
the fat round rock
in the Marvel
world? Is it the thing?
Yeah, there is the thing.
I feel like I would make a good the thing.
Yeah, the fat round rock.
He is kind of a rock.
He's kind of a rock to me.
You wouldn't get the rock to do that
because he isn't
as fat and round, but I
am those things, so I feel like i could nail it okay
and this so this guy gives me a damn glaucoma test with his muscles when he turns around and
goes like i'm fat and it's like what do you want me to say okay okay that's helpful yeah like the
beach yeah the titular beach i want let's talk like you say like you're so your movie has action in it it
does yeah right yeah yeah and you're talking about action action action but it's something
of a trojan horse isn't it it is dude you're watching you're like you're watching you're like
oh this is like it's gonna be an action movie like what right this is an action movie starring little fat round
little fat round divine this is an action movie starting now i don't know i don't know
and then all of a sudden you get you gets to gigging he gets chucking soon as you soon as you
metaphorically fall asleep during the movie yeah yep from the action once the action has put you into like a zone of
like oh let me guess something else is going to explode adam kicks out the like ass panel of the
horse and just releases all of his joke soldiers and they storm the city the joke machine guns
mowing down all the innocence yeah this is i'm one of the all laws yes just like
and you haven't seen the trailer because that's almost exactly what happens
dude you just know movies you know and you guys have worked together before yeah we probably
kind of came up with a bunch of the stuff and you just ended up yeah doing it and you were there
when i'm when i possibly when i bought these underwear your underwear i was only doing some bits while you were doing that going back and forth yeah
we know i was like do i get the sacks that will hold my nutsack in place really well it is or do
i go with the classic got the ballpark pouch and i think i think it might have been it could have
been i don't know it could have been you that pushed me in this direction. I know you're there. Well, you know, classic for a reason.
Name recognition.
I mean, people are trying to move away maybe from some of the old established brands.
And I just think like something has staying power like Calvin Klein has.
True, true, true, true.
Might be a good place to park your butt.
Yeah.
Right?
And it's underwear that stays on the road.
You know what I mean?
I have not had to replace a pair once.
Wow.
Ever.
Yeah, and that was a long time ago.
So these might be decade-old underoos.
It's been a long time in this underwear.
Can we figure out out instead of just complaining
about it i guess can we figure out a solution where if the issue is that these comedy movies
don't cost 200 million dollars is make them cost 200 million dollars right yeah comedy what's your
like i watch like king of staten island and i'm like this movie is missing 180 million dollars.
Nothing is blowing up really besides Pete's career.
Why do we even have to have action
be... Why isn't it action?
Why isn't it just
expensive? Yeah, why does it
cost more? Why aren't these actors
super well fed?
Why isn't there no
boo catering?
Yes. Why doesn't everyone have is like super well fed like yeah why is it there no boo catering yes why why isn't there like why
doesn't everyone have a will level trailer on screen rotting why isn't it there like a
see because that's the thing five hundred thousand dollar blue fin tuna yeah just rotting just rotting
on screen and that it doesn't see this is where i think we differ it doesn't even need to go on screen as a viewer i just want to go knowing that they spent the money i'd like and i don't
i'd like a making of featurette excuse me i'd like a making of featurette it doesn't need to
be on screen during the film but i do think that before and after the film we should see a making
of featurette feature a small documentary that costs how like where some of
the money went and that it shows that like anytime an actor had to use the bathroom they took a yacht
out to like an expensive uh toilet that had been built in the middle of the ocean yes uh yeah i
would say to add to your point yes uh the can be a small, cute indie darling.
Yeah.
But then the featurette.
The featurette.
Big, big money spent on the featurette.
Big money.
And that would get butts in the seats for me.
Yes.
Because I know me and my family, we're driving to the theater.
My dad is always like, now how much did this one cost?
Yeah.
And I'm like, like dad does it really
matter and he's like i'm pulling this car around if it doesn't cost 200 million dollars yes yeah
and i'm like well sorry dad you know like well we can't then we can't see juno dad but i think
you'll really like it you would like it i mean they have a funny phone. Wasn't there a funny phone? Hamburger phone.
Hamburger phone.
Yeah, there was a hamburger phone.
Yeah.
Hamburger sandwich phone.
I guess that maybe those are hard to find,
so maybe that would be pretty expensive.
Very expensive, crafty.
In terms of crew, I think Coco the Gorilla is a DP, for example.
Very expensive to get her services
because she's so smart
yes
and the time
was so sad
when Robin Williams
died
super sad
yes
she remembered
they had met like
15 years earlier
and her trainer
was like
hey Coco
Robin Williams
just died
she signed like
are you fucking
kidding me
yeah
wow
my friend Robin Williams
who I met 15 years ago.
She started signing, don't film this.
Why are you filming this?
Just like, don't film this.
What happened?
Lewy body syndrome?
It's like, what?
How do you know what that is?
You're so smart.
Such a smart gorilla.
So yeah, I mean, that is right.
It doesn't need to go on camera, but behind the camera, I want big money spent.
I don't give a fuck what's on camera in the movies I see.
I do not care.
You know how crew guys wear very comfortable shoes?
Maybe we get them those red boots that everyone's wearing nowadays.
Like those big Mario Brothers style.
Big red boots. Those Mario
Brothers big old
boots. Everyone's wearing them nowadays.
Everyone's wearing them, dude. Pharrell Williams.
I think Kanye was wearing
them. So we get them
for the whole crew just to stay comfortable.
The whole movie isn't going to be shot full
body, but you should be able to hear them
clomping around.
You want to hear the squeaks of the crew on film
of their super expensive shoes.
So you know, as a viewer, this might look like a small comedy,
but it does cost a lot of moolah.
Did Grimes get a mesh IM plan or something like that?
Yeah, she did a mesh i am why don't the
actors do that because that's expensive right like that's that could be somewhere that the money goes
where we're not they don't look different but they do look we're talking about the actors in the crew
what about the audience why aren't we paying for the audience to get a mesh i am some of that
budget in the audience yeah the. The whole transport department?
Veneers.
Okay.
Just a full set of nice new pearly whites.
Everyone's looking like Joe Biden.
Just some big old clompers.
Yeah.
Right?
Just chomping away.
Not a care in the world.
That's the Hollywood I want to see.
That's just an average American viewer.
You go in,
you're from Omaha, Nebraska,
you're like,
what's Hollywood up to?
You can feel.
And then you watch the movie
and you're like,
that was cute.
And then you watch
the featurette.
And in the featurette,
you see the transphobic
cartoon with just
a big old set of plompers.
Where to?
Yeah.
Hey, I could give you a ride.
You want to go to base camp?
With his big squeaky red boots on, looking like a million bucks.
Wait, you don't know where we're going, and you're offering me a ride?
I'm supposed to just like, it's supposed to be expected.
And that's one of the twists and turns of the featurette.
Right.
You watch some of these old movies, right?
And you just like, you pick a classic, you know, Kramer versus Kramer or something.
And people say the performances are so good.
But I watch it and I just know that they got driven to set by someone with small teeth.
Yeah.
Like you feel that on screen.
I go, this tiny tooth driving motherfucker.
It takes away the magic of Hollywood.
It just doesn't feel like, you know... Hollywood's a dream factory, right?
It's a land of fantasy.
Because we're trying to save...
Get me some fucking big popping out the mouth white beneath some fake looking stuff.
To save money on gas, they need to have small teeth because the big heavy teeth are like weighing down the tires.
That's the...
Give me a driver.
The penny doesn't know where he's going.
The penny doesn't know what Hollywood has been up to lately that I feel, especially with comedies. Yeah. And that's the... Tired the whole way. Give me a driver. The penny doesn't know where he's going. The penny that Hollywood has been up to lately that I feel, especially with comedies, maybe
if we spend a little more on things that are...
Not Marvel's fault, but it has happened.
Not Marvel's fault at all.
Marvel's good.
Huge fan of Marvel.
Huge fan of Marvel and their cinematic universe.
But if we were to take that money and spend it on the things audiences care about, squeaky
expensive shoes
and big old chomper teeth
for the crew.
Oh, you checking on my
shades?
I don't think you were there when I bought
those, but
that sucks.
Did it make you sick that he was doing that?
Nice. Yeah, I might have been allergic
to it.
Looking through them is cool. Really? It's darker. It is darker. that nice yeah i might have been allergic to it yeah what he was just doing yeah looking through
him is cool really it's darker it is darker yeah very nice now when i wear these do you think i'm
maybe more appealing to the marvels of the world the dcs of the world because now i look like a
hollywood cool guy before you're like is that guy tired how tired is that iron man would wear something like that yeah this this looks like a tired comedy guy i don't know this guy cool
hollywood guy he's wide cyclops cyclops cyclops he's glasses he's glasses hey and we just figured
it out hey marvel give me a call. And he's married.
Yeah, and so am I.
Yes, so that's perfect.
Yeah, so that's perfect.
That makes a lot of sense, actually.
Cast and crew.
When did you switch to this from the improv phone?
Because I know you're trained.
Yeah, I'm trained, yeah.
And I know the training is improv phone, you hold like this.
You hold like the big hands. You hold the phone.
You got to do correct space work. But you know what you switch to this and and i think you should yeah because
you're not in that world anymore i took a step out of that world yeah yeah so i feel like most
people uh if you're not trained like we all are i know you got training yeah if we're not trained
like we are most people are like, what is he holding?
Yes.
What is it?
Is that like a grapefruit he's holding to his ear?
Like why?
It doesn't even make any sense.
He's got a fucking goddamn.
Well, I think grapefruit is right.
I don't know whether we need to pitch on grapefruit.
But you do think, is this guy holding a grapefruit to his ear?
Yeah.
Specifically, he's holding a grapefruit to his ear and trying to talk into it.
Big Mac, I don't know if that would really
Because the juices
Because the hamburger phone
We already talked about a hamburger phone
So that would make
It actually would be a phone if I thought he was holding a Big Mac
Big Mac is like open like a phone
But I think that
You could open it
But I feel like most people
If you're living in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, you're like, what is he holding?
But this, you're like, that's a phone.
That's a phone.
That's a phone.
It's got the antenna on one side and on the bottom side.
And it's the flip down.
No, this is the flip down.
Oh, that's the flip.
This is the old Motorola.
The hand becomes the phone.
The hand's not holding the phone.
The hand is the phone, right?
Hey, basically, I'm pitching for the future.
Can we do that, right right the phone's always listening
anyway I might as well turn it into my hand
yo Zuck
hit me up hit me on my hip Zuck
come on Zuck
come on Zucky is this my camera as well
that's Zuck and Buck
that one's all of ours
come on Zuck come on Zuck Z ours. Come on, Zuck.
Come on, Zuck.
Zuck and fuck.
Right?
Yeah, Zuck and fuck.
Come on, dude.
We talked about the food.
We talked about the gorilla.
The phone.
The improv phone.
The big old chompers.
The big old chompers.
The veneers.
We got that. Did you want to talk about when you said movities? The phone. The big old chompers. The big old chompers. The veneers.
We got that.
Did you want to talk about when you said move-a-deez?
I wish you wouldn't have brought that one up.
Well, they cut it really because like for the TikTok because it's shorter.
But in the actual podcast, you said move-a-deez, move-a-deez, move-a-deez.
That's all, folks.
Yeah.
It was more of a bit what I was doing it before. Now they cut the funny bit.
It doesn't read.
It doesn't read.
It doesn't.
Now they don't get how hilarious I was being when I said movies.
My favorite moment, I think, is early on in the clip where Theo goes,
comedy's gotten kind of bad, huh?
And you go, it kind of has.
Then he goes, movie comedy, movie comedy.
Because he's going wait wait i do
comedy comedy and so do all my friends and he catches himself yeah and i just like i relate
don't we all i think we all relate to theo let's talk about how there used to be 45 or 46 comedy
movies per year let's talk about whether that would translate to every week or every other week.
No, I did.
I read.
I mean, the math might be wrong, but I did read something about how there were multiple comedy movies that would come out a month.
Yeah.
And just through my basic math, that's a hundred comedy movies a year.
Yeah, it's close to it.
And now there's only five or six.
Which is true, yeah. And once again, instead of complaining, why aren't we going in and pitching 40 comedy movies?
Well, because it's pencils down right now.
We can't go pitch.
Yeah, but we're just talking.
This ain't a pencil.
You know?
This ain't a pencil.
Hey, man, we're just having a conversation.
I've put pencils in it before.
Where would you pitch it?
Because you can't go into the studios to pitch.
You could maybe find some other
meeting place.
Just on the 10 freeway
from one car to the next.
Oh wow, I can't believe we just both
happened to be having a picnic
at this same landfill.
Yeah. Can't believe we just both happened to be having a picnic at this same landfill.
Yeah.
Right?
Can't believe we just met at this local landfill.
Can't believe we're both right next to the big pile of tires at the landfill.
Coincidentally.
Eating egg salad, right?
At the landfill near the tires.
Bob.
JPEG.
Wait, what happened? Who's the new guy? who's the new guy it's the old guy I guess you're
both old guys yeah this business did you hear did you hear this about Bob Jay
Peck did you know about this mm-hmm yeah well yeah I laughed like I knew what was
happening and then I was like I did maybe I just drink some cold brew, kind of reset myself.
Bob Chapek, unfortunately, has collected his last Bob paycheck.
Now, who's Bob?
He's the Disney guy?
Disney.
So Bob Iger was in charge of Disney.
That's right.
I know Bob Iger.
Then he stepped down.
Yeah, he's retiring.
He did enough.
Tapped Bob Chapek. Yeah, he's retiring. He did enough. Tapped Bob Chapek.
Yeah, Bobby Chapes.
Then he walked back into his old office and said,
Bobby Chapek, you collect your last paycheck.
And then Iger took the job again.
And now I think, and I have no crystal ball,
I think if you could ask him how's it going he would say
not great yeah yeah yeah i bet he might be saying that and it's tough on everyone sean was getting
a lot of gas out of this paycheck oh my god for a long time i've been doing the whole paycheck
every time anything related to disney or any of its many offshoots came up for nigh on a year.
Yeah, that's a fun bit.
Yeah.
And what I know about you is you do like to take a bit and ground it into the ground.
It'll be done.
He's not allowed to write new ones.
He's only allowed to do Bob Patriot.
Much like the grapefruit I hold to my ear, I will get every last drop of juice out of that thing until it is just a pile of gross pulp on the ground.
Yeah, and I love that about you.
Gas, I wonder if in the movies, cast is holding gas nozzles in both hands.
And they're pulling down on the trigger and they're releasing the gas onto the ground.
And so you're seeing
the number go up,
like the cost of it on screen.
For Money Wise?
Yeah.
Just spraying gas.
Yeah, and then at the end,
we light the sets on fire.
Blow up the set.
Blow up the set.
Blow up the set.
And then at least then
it can be a cute, small, indie, darling, Duplass Brothers style comedy.
Yes.
But then at the end, you're like, well, that was expensive.
Worth going to the theater to see.
Yes.
And you can see that's one of the funnest things about going to do gas.
Because you're watching, you're seeing the number go up oh as
it's happening oh yeah can i see it just a little counter in the corner of the screen yeah it's like
ticking up and up and up and these characters can see it too they're looking at their alert oh my
god yeah they're kind of freaking out it's exciting but like kind of nervous and they make
love like you see somebody blow a take a couple times, they just like can't get this one line right.
And they just like keep eyes on the gas being like, Jesus, I gotta get this right, you know?
Yeah.
Because it's costing so much money to keep the gas spraying during my line.
Well, you don't have to get it right because the more money, kind of the better.
Yeah.
Or then you start to build bloopers into the film, right?
Where you go, i'm gonna do
something you play in a classic bloop yeah yeah those are great pretend to sneeze and
you know spray silly string on the camera one of my favorite things are playing bloopers
yeah yeah but like in liar liar you remember when he like screwed up crumpling the paper and he was
like it's a goose a goose yeah i I weirdly watched Liar Liar last night.
Nothing weird about that for me.
Yeah.
But this is the algorithm.
Yeah.
Right?
I think my phone might have told me.
As soon as you watch it, we talk about it.
We talk about it.
Right?
How much did Outlaws cost?
I don't know exactly.
Right.
How much did you make?
Tons. Yeah. So rich did you make? Tons.
So rich from it.
That's all I care about,
man, as long as my guy's eating.
Yeah, dude. I'm eating good in the neighborhood.
Go see my guy. Yeah, thanks.
Bye.
