This is a HeadGum Podcast. and healthier. Yes, because none of the corn, I mean, you weren't, tell me you weren't putting corn syrup in it.
No.
Yes.
Even low fructose corn syrup,
to me, has too much fructose.
Agave syrup,
boiling the cola beans.
Yum.
With a K.
Just give me a minute.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Mmm, om nom, scrum nom, nom, nom, nom.
And then just add, like, little spices.
Interesting spices. Mmm, yes. Exotic. Making each other, like, nom, nom. And then just add little spices. Interesting spices.
Yes.
Exotic.
Making each other look away.
Guess what spices and putting the spice in.
What's the craziest spice you used?
Simenum.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Have had.
Five stars.
Would eat again.
And then we start.
That's what the Simen cinnamon challenge for me is.
Just not eating five spoonfuls of it.
Here's the challenge for me.
Stopping after only one spoonful.
So we start blasting the soda blaster into the stuff.
Nitro boosters.
And DJ Mustard is like, hold up.
Watch this.
Look at this thing that I do.
And he goes kind of his head upside down, puts the blaster piece inside his nose and
takes the button and starts pressing it over and over again.
And it's going like.
Freezing his brain.
Does that freeze your brain?
Well, I can tell just looking at his eyes that he's getting zooted blast off to the friggin' moon.
On the ceiling, lifted, hip to tires on the ceiling.
Yes.
And then it starts doing the...
I think the back of his neck somewhere
is where the excess carbonation is coming out.
So he's so stupid zooted
that he's blown a hole in his cervical spine.
Stupid dum-dum zooted to the moon.
Okay.
So then he disconnects himself from the blaster spout.
It does that like...
And there's smoke coming out of his mouth. And he's faded, yeah. blaster spout. It does that like psssh.
And then... Smoke coming out of his mouth. And he's faded.
Yeah. And like a cool
sort of cola beans
flavored smoke
vapes out of his mouth.
Reverse vapes.
Like a G6.
And so I'm like, anything I
ever see anyone do, I have to do.
I'm almost the same way, except there's an exception.
I won't go into it.
There's one thing I've seen people do that I go like, I'm not doing that.
But I'm just like, and it's kind of reflexive.
I just start doing it because someone else did it and now I have to.
Well, the competition that lives inside your soul is such a big piece of your success.
And even though it's put you in some dangerous situations,
it's also what's made you thrive in a city that, let's face it, is insane.
Running out onto a lot of fields at sporting events.
Yeah.
To do a big kiss on the pitcher.
Because I just saw someone else do it.
Morgana.
Morgana the kissing bandit.
You said, oh, come on.
I could do way bigger kiss than that.
So I put my nose on there.
I start to.
And it is getting me zooted, lifted, shifted.
And I take my nose off.
But then what comes.
It's not like really smoke that comes out.
It's.
Blood?
No. It's carbonated bar smoke that comes out. It's – Blood? No.
It's carbonated barf, I guess.
Oh, right.
From throwing up.
Yeah.
So a jet of throw up that's like full of bubbles comes – I'm like basically shooting at like a bazooka out the window.
Ah.
And we were pretty high.
We were on the Empire State Building.
So it's going to get a lot of velocity by the time it gets down.
Or it could disintegrate.
And I had eaten a lot of pennies earlier.
And so some people did get pennies in their head.
Yeah.
So Bram Lincoln.
Hey, welcome to Hollywood Handbook.
Hi, welcome to Hollywood Handbook.
I'm an insider's guide to kicking kick your butt and drop your names.
The red carpet line, back hallways of this industry we call showbiz.
It's tough for me to finish because I'm being so distracted because Cody is still here.
Yes.
We did this big goodbye to Cody last weekend.
It was a huge farewell episode.
When he quit his job, he read his resignation email on the air,
and now he's just here.
I just walk in today, and here's Cody.
And obviously it's a little like the situation we've all been in
where you have a big tearful goodbye for someone,
and then you realize that you both parked in the same direction,
and you sort of have to walk together and wait for the crosswalk
after you have already done your, like, I guess this is it.
This is the last time I see you.
Yeah.
If you're, sometimes you break up with someone and then you go like, oh, we drove here together
and then you have to like get in the car.
Or kind of like getting a divorce and then you sign the papers.
By the way, I love that show.
Thank you.
And you, you know, you go your separate ways and then go home, and your wife is in the house.
What's in store for Francis in season two?
Not telling.
Okay, yeah.
Okay.
This guy, he's a vault.
Now, because Cody is here, my headphones sound awful.
I have never heard something more unspeakably painful in my life.
I just want to make sure that everyone else is okay.
I don't care for myself because I know
if he fixes mine,
something else will get hurt.
But is everyone else fine?
Mine started fucked up
and now they're bearable.
Yeah.
They're good.
They're okay?
Okay.
Cody, are you okay?
Okay, good.
I'll suffer through this
for the rest of the episode.
Cody, do you want to explain
why what I heard
in the days after
our record last week? In your resignation letter, you want to explain why what I heard in the days after our record last week?
In your resignation letter, you neglected to mention that you attached your resume.
As a PDF.
So they can't alter it.
You're concerned about them.
They'll add fake skills that you have and send it out to people.
And submit you for a job you're not qualified for, unlike this job, which you're so good at.
Or you were before you quit, and then you're still, I guess, hanging out here and possibly living here, too.
We don't know.
We have a guest today.
Can we talk with her, please, Hayes?
It's Eggo.
Are you done yet?
Yeah, Hayes, are you done?
It's Eggo.
Yeah, is Hayes done? Eggo. I you done yet? Yeah, Hayes, are you done? Eggo. Yeah, is Hayes done?
Eggo.
I do a big rev up for every show.
Hi, how's it going?
You know, it's going well.
It's going well.
Oh, my God.
I love hearing that.
That would be great, Eggo.
By the way, you said hi, friends.
It would be great if you would get some of your friends to listen to the show.
Absolutely.
What do you want me to do?
A Facebook post?
A tweet?
Or do you want me to personalize an invitation?
And it would be nice if you would call a lot of friends.
Call?
Okay.
FaceTime is good because you can see how they're reacting to the suggestion.
Okay, so you want me to call them on FaceTime, tell them to listen to the podcast, but then
should I stay on FaceTime with them while we listen?
On FaceTime?
At least while they download it.
I don't care if they actually hear it.
Do you want them to rate it as well?
I don't know if that matters anymore.
A rating would be nice,
and it would be great if they said
that they just stumbled upon the show organically.
It's okay if they're all going to make that review
on the same date, right?
If it's like 10 reviews on the same date.
I think it could be good to spike the algorithm.
And that's what happens. on the same day. I think it could be good to spike the algorithm. And that's what happens.
That's groupthink.
I mean there's a reason they came up with Volcano and Dante's Peak in the same year.
Yeah.
Because there's all these breakthroughs, these scientific breakthroughs like when Deep Impact and frigging Armageddon happened.
Where people will just grab these source material things from the ether.
And it's just once it's out in the consciousness,
there's this crazy study they did once about the human brain.
Yeah.
And the way it works is so fucked up.
Yeah.
And can you speak on that for me?
Please.
Yeah, well, I'd say I don't have too much knowledge of the human brain.
Animal brains.
Yeah.
You love animals.
Animal brains.
For me, animal brains is where it's at.
I think that they work a little differently than ours.
Of course, animals actually have bigger brains than humans do.
What's your favorite animal's brain?
Oh, I would have to say a pussycat's brain.
Wow.
Yeah, they're bigger than that of humans.
I love, and I can tell that you study it because you use the scientific.
So many people say cat.
Or feline.
And I say pussycat.
The feline brain.
Go see it in theaters.
Yeah, well, it's only at limited release.
It's actually only in theaters in the Midwest.
You might have to get it on iTunes or Amazon.
Well, tough luck because it's not going to be available on there for
some months. But I want to touch on
something you said. You said
it might spike the algorithm. Yes.
I think what people don't realize is
Al Gore created algorithms.
Wow.
And he takes credit for so many things.
Uh-huh. Yeah.
Al Gore, he's not...
Well, I know Al Gore. And he is not, like, big into dancing.
Yeah.
Yeah, so.
He's got his own kind of rhythm.
Exactly, right.
So, like, Al Gore rhythm, a lot of people don't know this about him, and hopefully I don't get an angry email from him after this because I've kind of outed his thing.
Yeah.
But anyway.
But you've got to spike the Al Gore rhythm.
Rhythm, yes.
Yes, exactly.
Because he's not a dancer, but you know,
you can use science to accomplish the things you want to accomplish.
So he doesn't feel like he has rhythm, but so Al Gore rhythm.
Hey, I'm not a dancer.
Yeah.
But I dance.
Sure.
You know what I mean?
Sure.
And am I off beat?
Sure.
Yeah, but wait, how many times do you have to dance to become a dancer?
You're asking me?
Yeah.
How many times does one dance before they're a dancer?
Gun to my head?
Gun to your fucking head.
Pull the trigger.
Bang.
Bang, bang.
Two shots.
Yeah, because I can't choose.
Yeah.
Execution style.
Hayes, what would you say?
Are you a dancer?
I would say I'm a human.
Okay, different.
Given the choice of being a human or a dancer, which someone did ask me once.
Yes.
I was sitting in my car.
Yeah, if you're a human.
And somebody, a voice in my car asked me if I was a human or a dancer.
It was a voice in your car.
Was there a person inside of your car?
Not that I could see.
Okay, just a voice was inside.
Not that I could see.
I could see them because I was in the car, if you remember.
Was it you?
I remember you answering.
No, it wasn't me, but the gentleman had a very interesting jacket with big feathers on it.
Oh.
And I did remember saying, ooh, where did you get that?
And no concern for where this man came from, right?
Just wanting to know where he got that jacket
I wanted to know
where the jacket was from
I know where he came from
his mom
you know
obviously
his mom's pussy
some stuff's a little
more simple than we make it
yeah and true
Occam's razor
huh
yes
Occam's razor
they should have sent a poet
they should have sent a poet
but they didn't
they didn't
I think it was such a good
Segway
tour that you
did earlier with Al Gore.
Oh, yeah. We were on Segways
actually down in the lobby.
Segway tour of Hollywood.
We did a Segway tour of Hollywood.
He's actually at Chick-fil-A right now.
I told him, not a good idea, but he was like,
I love the chicken sandwiches there.
I'm going to get a chicken sandwich.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
He did want to eat there.
Wow.
Went out of his way.
Yeah.
He went out.
Yeah.
He flew in just to get a chicken sandwich.
Oh, my gosh.
And there's so many other places.
But that's Al, you know, he gets a bee in his bonnet and you just can't shake it loose.
But it sounds to me like to you, Al is a bit of a mix of a friend and an enemy.
And we have a word for that, which is a friend to me.
And now Hayes is taking us on a segue tour.
Okay, segue.
Do you have a segue?
Well, we thought maybe this episode we could update.
We all have these lists of our friend to me.
Look, in this town, there's no such thing as an enemy.
You never know who you're going to cross paths with, quite frankly.
And sometimes you have to work with people who maybe you don't see eye to eye with.
So I say there are no enemies in this town, but there's a lot of friend-a-me's.
Yeah, friend-a-me's.
So we put the D in it.
It's a mix of two words.
It's a combination word.
Hayes and I invented this idea.
Well, no.
See, I heard of frenemy.
I heard it.
The what?
I've heard of a frenemy.
A French enemy?
Like Fran Drescher?
Well, maybe.
Yeah, maybe Fran Drescher.
Yeah.
But I heard about this on a yoga retreat in Big Sur.
That's the first time I heard of it.
But you guys saying friend to me.
You're not supposed to talk at those.
I know.
I know.
We were talking.
We were doing some talking.
Well, then you didn't get what you're supposed to get out of that experience.
But I did learn a word, frenemy.
You guys are putting the D in it.
Friend to me.
Friend to me.
Friend to me.
A friend to me.
Rolls off the tongue.
Friend to me.
No.
No.
You're a friend to me. A friend to me to me. A friend to me to me. A friend in need is a friend to me friend to me okay a friend to me rolls off the friend to me no no you're a friend
no a friend to me to me a friend a friend to me to me a friend in need is a friend to me to me yeah
yeah so friend of me's to me i guess the list is pretty long sure and what i was thinking we could
do is just update now hayes and i maintain one list because if you fuck with my family, if you mess with
my blood,
Hayes Davenport,
then you're coming at me.
Yeah.
And my whole squad
is going to come for you.
And if you decide
to ever try to fuck
with my family,
and if it's,
in this case,
it is Sean,
then you might actually find
that my whole squad
will end up coming
for your ass as well.
Yeah, well,
I feel you on this because if you fuck with my family, you better wear a condom.
All right?
Yes, do it safely.
Yeah.
Please.
Yes, that's why they made those things.
Yeah, because for fucking with family.
Yes, because also when I'm coming for you and I'm, like, punching you and stuff, I don't want to get sick, get a disease. Yeah, you don't want to get—
Oh, please. Things are contagious. And when I say my squad, I'm talking about you and stuff, I don't want to get sick, get a disease. Yeah. Oh yeah. You don't want to get, these things are contagious.
And when I say my squad, I'm talking about my load.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So my whole squad's coming.
Your squad.
We better hope there's a condom.
Of like 50 billion of your best friends.
Yeah.
And only one's going to win.
Only one of your best friends is going to win.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
And then one of your best friends creates like another friend.
Oh, forget it.
Yeah. But honestly, guys, best friends creates like another friend. Oh, forget it. Yeah.
But honestly, guys, I have some friend-a-me's.
Now that you're describing to me what that is.
Yeah.
I have some friend-a-me's.
And it's good to curate the list because sometimes you go back and look at it and be like, oh, this guy isn't even, this guy's just my end-a-me now or this guy is my friend.
Well, it'll be totally out of date.
There's no such thing as end-a-me's in this town.
Is it the end of me?
Someone who is the end of you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I keep my frenemies on a list like a vision board.
I literally write them out with marker.
I have a whole little session with my girlfriends
and we make a frenemy list.
I sometimes take people off my frenemy list
if they're no longer relevant in the industry.
At which point I'm happy
for them. Do you use clear pushpins?
Oh yes, because I don't want the
colored ones to fuck up the
whole aesthetic going on. Those can be
scary to me because sometimes I will
not be able to see them and I will get
scared that a ghost or something
is holding up the stuff on the board.
I use going clear pushpins
which are promotional pushpins I got
from the Scientology documentary Going Clear.
Oh, okay.
They're huge.
I mean, they block the whole vision board.
They're so big.
They have to say a big word.
But are they clear themselves?
Are those pushpins clear?
They're going clear.
Not at all.
Yeah, they're going clear.
So what color are they?
Sort of a burnt sienna.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
That's my favorite color.
But gradually the paint is evaporating, so they are going clear.
Yeah.
And underneath they are doo-doo brown.
Do you want to talk about some of the friend of me's that Eggo has?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And that's you?
Yeah, me.
That's me.
Should I rattle the list off?
Really fast?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And let me just say first,
like,
everyone in this room,
obviously,
with the exception of Cody,
is not going to be
on my friend-to-me list.
Okay.
Okay.
Eggo's my Amigo.
Yeah.
Amigo.
Amigo.
Yeah.
Lots of people's Amigo. Cody's my Brody Yeah Amego Yeah Lots of people
It's Amego
Cody's my Brody
And
Hayes is
Hayes is
The homie for days
Thank you
Yeah
You beat me to it
I was gonna say that
You did
Exact same thing
And we don't have to do me
Yeah
We know
No
No it's so clear.
Sean is the Don, you know.
Yeah, that's right.
Head honcho.
Don Cheadle.
Yeah, John is Don Cheadle.
Yeah, I can rattle them off.
I don't give a fuck right now.
Honestly, I said I was doing well, but I'm coming in hot.
I'm heated right now.
The truth comes out, and she's freaking out.
I am pissed, boy. Okay, comes out, and she's freaking out. I'm pissed, boy.
Okay.
First on the list, Sheila Dix, head of Kunta Films.
Okay, yes.
I was wondering if we'd get to Sheila Dix today.
Yeah, head of Kunta Films.
You guys familiar?
Yeah.
Yeah, what do you think of Sheila Dix?
I'll let you talk about it.
You go first.
Yeah, because I'm seething.
You guys don't know Sheila Dix, do you?
You go first because I am seething.
No, I definitely know her.
Are you guys in this industry?
How do you know?
Everyone knows Sheila Dix.
If anybody who's a serious...
We're currently industry adjacent.
No, she does Koopa Films, and to me, she's my friend to make.
To be Bowser's
little
errand girl like that. Have you met
her assistant?
Her assistant? Yeah.
That's ringing bells. Sheila Junior.
Well, yeah, we call
him Sheila Junior because all he is
is her little bitch, but
Carter is the worst.
He's just as bad as Sheila.
And he's slated to take over Kunta Films.
What? No, and they're
going to give it to him, that
sniveling whatever. The nepotism?
The nepotism? This business.
Yeah, it's sickening.
And I'm done with them.
You want me to keep going? I'm throwing
up. I'm scared, but
sure. Okay.
Andrew Kamonsky.
Oh, I thought you were going to say T.
No, not Andrew T.
No, no, no.
He's fine.
Yeah, he sure is.
He's fine.
Yeah, he's fine.
Damn, he's fine.
Yes, he's fine.
But this Andrew, gosh.
Let me tell you something.
He orders his coffee white. He orders his coffee white.
He orders his coffee white.
I was behind him at line at Starbucks, and he was putting up a bit.
Oh, gosh, what a big stink, throwing a fit.
He's dead to me.
White coffee.
White coffee.
Yeah, a real racist.
Can you spell his last name just so people know?
Yes.
Oh, God.
I was Kamoonski.
Okay.
K-A-H-M-O-O-N-S-K-Y.
Wow.
Andrew Kamoonski, a piece of shit, orders his coffee white.
Coffee white.
And he makes them put his last name on the cup at Starbucks, right?
Oh, and then when they don't get it right, he makes them go back, get a new cup, make a new coffee, write his name correctly.
He doesn't want you to even cross out the name.
Wow, new cup.
No, a new cup.
Oh, and then they're like, oh, does somebody else want this?
We have to throw this coffee out.
And everybody else goes, no, it's white.
It's white coffee.
It's just milk.
Yeah, it is milk.
I heard him whisper to the barista, milk.
Am I white coffee?
I mean milk. Yeah. Yeah. And the barista, milk. And my white coffee, I mean milk.
Yeah.
And so I don't fucking like that guy.
I did a web series of his son has a web series.
And I thought it'd be a good way to like, you know, make his dad aware of me.
And I did a web series for his son.
It turned out like a piece of shit.
Kaminsky Jr.
What's he do?
Andrew Kaminsky. Oh? Andrew Kamunsky.
Oh, Andrew Kamunsky?
Yeah.
Just remind me because he wears so many hats.
But what's the thing you wanted him to notice you for?
Well, I wanted him to notice me on his son's web series.
Yeah, to what end?
Oh, because he's the head of finance.
At Kutafil's?
Yeah, which you guys don't realize and a lot of people don't
when I first moved to this town
I had a mentor
who has never
he's an actor
he's never acted
but he is an actor
and he told me
Ego
what you've got to do
is get in with the people
no one else is trying
to get in with
think about the heads
of finance
you can name one
right
you can really name one
just Andrew
just Andrew
Andrew I know but that's it.
And I'm like, he has power.
So when you're doing a test deal and they're trying to figure out the test, he signs the paperwork.
He writes your name on the money.
Yes, exactly.
So it's like you have favor in all these different departments.
No one ever deals with finance people.
I did.
I wanted Kaminsky to be familiar with me.
And those people are actually the most
creative in a lot of cases and they have some of the best ideas. Yeah. And everyone's sleeping on
them. Everyone's sleeping on them. Yeah. Let me tell you something. And they are good actors.
Amazing. Andrew, he did a cameo in his son's web series with me. He was actually my love interest.
Word Up. Yeah. Word Up was the name of the web series His son is a baby, correct?
His son is a baby
Actually, his son is three months
So not like a full baby
But a baby
A newer born, not a brand new born
So his son wrote this web series
He's like one of the smartest kids in LA
Wow
Yeah, wrote this web series
Turns out the white coffee was for the sun, by the way.
Oh, what a fucking twist in the story.
Yeah.
Okay.
Twist city.
They're both on my list now.
I've seen him ordering white coffee from his wife's boobie.
Yeah.
He comes up to us.
I watched it happen on set.
We'd cut.
I need to go, white coffee, babe, white coffee, please.
And we were all like, what's white coffee?
And then white coffee from our boobie.
And his son was fucking trash in this web series.
He couldn't remember any of his lines.
He's not good.
No.
In the love scenes, just zero commitment.
Yeah, zero commitment.
No chemistry.
You were extreme. You were really. I was committed. I'm hungry for this stuff, zero commitment. No chemistry. You were extremely,
you were really.
I was committed.
I'm hungry for this stuff, guys.
I'm hungry.
I've known and I want to act.
But you have to have something
to work against.
Yeah.
And just the fact that he is,
you know, pre-sexual.
Yeah, yeah.
Makes it so difficult to buy.
Even the kisses to me felt more
playful.
Maternal.
Yes. It was like kisses on the cheek.
Yes.
The passion was not there.
And the web series is about just modern sexual rules and dynamics.
Dating.
Dating in the Me Too era.
Right.
Well, yeah.
It was fucking trash.
It's one of my worst experiences on set.
Crafty was good.
Crafty was good.
But, I mean, we had Matsuhisa.
What?
That's what Crafty was.
Wow.
Andrew Kaminsky Jr., the baby, or whatever, not a baby.
It's the kind of baby.
He couldn't have any of the crafty.
So he had a fit.
What a fucking diva or divo, whatever.
He was throwing a fit because he couldn't have the yellowtail sashimi.
Wow.
Oh, and that's the best Matsuhisa.
Oh, my God.
It's so good.
The little jalapeno.
They do the peppers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A little jalapeno on top.
And the sauce.
Oh, it's so good.
But he couldn't have any. So he was throwing a fit A little jalapeno on top. And the sauce. Oh, it's so good.
But he couldn't have any, so he was throwing a fit. What is that sauce?
They won't tell me.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Cream sauce?
Yeah, I always go like, hey, will you tell me what this sauce is?
And they go, no, you zoo it.
Oh, maybe that's them telling you in a backhanded way.
I don't know.
Yeah, twist.
Plot twist.
Let's talk about some other friend of me's that we have.
Okay.
Because I'm getting so fucking steamed up about Andrew.
Just hearing about these other friend of me's.
That's almost making me, I'm more frothier than the steamed milk coming off of the white coffee this guy's ordering.
Heated.
Hollywood handbook.
So let's talk about some other friend of me's.
I guess mine would be Josh, who works at Earwolf.
Gosh, Josh.
I haven't even met Josh.
Yeah.
Well, lucky you.
Josh is a friend to me of mine.
Josh is a fake friend.
So fake.
Like, what kind of shit does Josh do?
Well, to your face, he's totally your friend.
And behind your back, he's a friend to me to me.
Yeah?
Is he, like, talking shit about you to producers and stuff?
Oh, he told me he was going to help me
even get my podcast to be so big.
Yeah, yeah.
To be so big?
How big is so big?
He showed with his hands
and it was huge.
Like his whole wingspan?
No, not totally.
To be fair, he did keep it somewhat inside.
He didn't stretch all the way out.
But still really big.
But he was clearly trying to imply pretty big.
Yeah, like a big... okay, well, I mean,
I have friends like that. Like, I get that.
I get that. Like, he probably meant
well. He probably meant well.
I think you're being too easy on
him. Because what he did behind my back
was, the podcast is pretty small.
Yeah, behind your back he did that?
Behind our back he sabotaged our show
so it is actually not big.
And it takes like 15 episodes to get into.
Well, you know, I'm not totally privy to the sort of ins and outs of the production side of this thing.
I'll admit a certain level of ignorance.
But I think that what he probably does is put secret messages whispered into the podcast to say that after one episode,
you kind of don't like it and don't like me and Hayes
and think that it's sort of a one-note shtick.
Have you heard it?
I am definitely getting those messages when I listen.
Like, when I listen, I'm listening to myself,
and I know that I'm funny, and I'm going,
man, this is kind of one-note,
and I kind of am getting tired of this,
and I sort of just feel bored a lot of the time.
It feels flat a lot of episodes.
And I'm going, okay, this is
Josh at it again.
You know what? It's the worst when you know that you're
funny. But you're never
doing it. Hilarious.
You know you're so funny, but you are
never actually being funny.
Because the town won't let me.
Everything that you're doing is bad.
It's getting everything.
Well, no.
Because of Josh.
It's bad because of Josh.
It's bad because these people wishing me.
And Andrew.
Yeah.
And Andrew and fucking Sheila.
Trash city.
Yeah.
This place is not the city of angels.
It's the city of trash.
I'm so funny.
It's the city of fake friends and trash.
I'm one of the funniest out of my friends.
Yeah. My real friends.
Not just my friend Amis.
And they tell you all the time too, right?
Oh my god, they used to.
Like years ago, right?
Yes, yes, growing up.
Yeah, growing up.
And you're not a kid anymore, but you remember that stuff.
My uncle honestly thinks I'm hilarious.
You should get on SNL.
Oh, I will.
Yeah.
Honestly, that's a dream of mine, and I'm still going for it.
Did you watch last week?
No.
Oh, yeah.
It was like they did this one thing about Trump where I was like, okay, he does do that.
No, stop.
And they did another thing that for a second it seemed like it was a real commercial.
Yeah.
But then they revealed that it's fake.
I have ideas for that.
Well, they did this one.
A month ago I was watching and they did this one skit where it was like they had a joke happen.
And then the joke happened a few more times and then the joke, it was
over. And it took me through this whole journey
of one time the joke happens and another time
and then a third time it happened.
And then it's all
just done. It was done and it was to a
commercial. It's crazy. That show is
55 years old and we all still
talk about it every week.
There's not a lot of institutions like that.
Yeah. I don't even talk about the bank that much and they have all my money. Think about it every week. There's not a lot of institutions like that. Yeah. I don't even talk about
the bank that much
and they have all my money.
You know,
think about it.
Think about it.
I always forget to talk
about the bank.
Yeah,
because we don't talk about,
but the bank has
all your assets.
I'm totally unbanked.
Yeah.
Unbanked,
you keep all your money
in a mattress?
We did an episode
about this.
I was like,
I'm going to tell you.
We did an episode
about this
in our premium,
special,
expensive version of it.
We do two shows.
Did you just say that you listen to that and talk about how you're rich and how everyone else should?
And say it's worth it.
We're going to cut this part out where you're telling me to do this, right?
Yes.
Okay, great.
I listen to the premium expensive version of this podcast, Hollywood Handbook.
It's called Hollywood Handbook.
The pro version.
The pro version.
And, I mean, it's changed my life.
I'm rich because of it.
It costs, the subscription is what.
Even if you don't have enough money necessarily to do it,
the message here is still probably sign up for it,
even if it's a burden on you because you'll get such a reward after.
I pay $350 a month for the premium version of this podcast.
You guys do one episode a month.
I pay $354.
It's worth, it pays me back in dividends.
Like, I get back tenfold.
It's the deal is, like, it costs $5 a day or whatever.
But it's really, like, paying that much money for $1,000 a day.
Yeah, exactly.
It does wind up being almost that.
It's like, that's good.
And so, I mean, I would, if anyone listening to this, I would invest in the premium version
of Hollywood Handbook.
On Stitcher Premium, which the app is so intuitive and the search function works so well.
And it's so timely, the uploads.
And they put the episodes on it.
They do put it on.
So if you want to hear an episode, all you do is just go on to Stitcher Premium.
And it is on there.
It's so easy to sign in to.
Almost a third of the time.
And if it's not on, it's like they say about the weather out here.
Yeah.
If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.
Yeah, I've heard that a bunch of times.
And then just deal with it.
I've heard that a bunch of times.
Well, it's similar with Stitcher Premium where it's like, hey, if the episode's not up there, hey, wait five minutes.
And do something else.
Cody, I notice you should be writing down because you're supposed to be updating the friend of me's list.
I notice you are looking at the Wikipedia page for Michelle Kwan.
Oh, God.
Cody, I feel you on this.
When she fell in the Olympics.
Okay, that's not a friend.
When she fell, when she was trying.
Listen, I don't claim to be
a friend of Michelle Kwan. We actually have beef.
She fell in the Olympics
the last time she tried.
Really heartbreaking.
Really heartbreaking stuff. And that made you mad?
It made me mad. It was like a betrayal to me.
Bitch, I was rooting for you.
You're actually representing one of
my main countries.
You have several countries.
I was going to touch base with you about that.
Well, you've got to diversify.
I mean, this is like being on bank.
Yeah.
If you're going to put all your patriotism into one country, you could get burned.
And what is that country?
I just want to – what is that country that she's representing for you?
Of Quan?
Which year are we talking about?
1922.
Okay, so at that time, it was Vietnam.
Yeah, yeah.
And now?
Now, for me, where do I see Kwan as representing?
I guess I'd go Kazakhstan because I'd just watch Borat again.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, for sure.
So funny that he don't like certain people. because I just watched Borat again. Yeah. Yeah, no, for sure. For sure.
Remember so funny that he don't like certain people?
Just much like frenemies.
Yeah, lots of people are his frenemies.
Frenemies.
I keep saying it wrong.
Fuck me.
Is that your frenemy, Cody?
Well, I'm going to go off a little bit here and tell you that.
Is this my headphones or does he sound like that?
He sounds like that.
He does.
I think it's the first time he's talking all day.
Okay, you know what it is, Cody?
I think you forgot to clock in.
Oh, that's right.
Clocking in, okay.
So if Legos are Omega,
Cody's are Brody,
Sean's are Michelle Kwan.
Okay.
I can see why you would have to pull up
the Wikipedia page
To make that joke
Chef Kevin, would you like to sit down?
Yeah, Chef Kevin
Chef Kevin
Chef Kevin, would you like to make a case for being taken off our friend of me list?
Hey guys, Chef Kevin here
Yes, I would
I would just like to be a friend
Okay, well, maybe you start acting like it and stop letting Josh do his nefarious trickery.
And why do you do your headphones like that?
That's a good point.
I could put both on.
I had one on my ear and then one not.
You've got to keep one ear to the streets in this town.
That's why.
And you can't have both your ears covered.
That's true.
And one ear to hear Josh's trickeries outside there.
He does do some very loud trickeries.
He's got your back, guys.
When he's doing it, there's a lot of like, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.
I say make Chef Kevin a friend.
Chef Kevin's a friend.
Thank you.
Just a straight-up friend.
He's got your back and your front.
Kevin, my understanding was from the Instagram post
that I looked at that you were not allowed to have
this mustache anymore. I haven't seen
Paul since I posted it.
Maybe I'll shave it the day
before. Paul Schaefer.
I'll Paul Schaefer it the day before.
Paul Shaver.
Paul Schaefer. Is he a
friend of me?
Sorry, I just woke up
I've been taking micro-naps
Freddy's after me
I should say that
Freddy Krueger's after me
Freddy Krueger
The original Fred-a-me
He beat me out for the role in that movie
Wow
So he's a Fred-a-me to you as well
So they were casting someone who lives in dreams and kills you in your dreams.
Yeah.
And you are in the waiting room for the audition and you see Freddy Krueger there.
I see Freddy Krueger there.
That's so frustrating.
So disheartening.
Yeah, it's like, oh, well, fuck, it's going to be his.
Well, I guess if they want to go the totally predictable route, then he'll get it.
But if they actually want to challenge the audience a little bit and do something surprising that maybe the town hasn't seen a million times already, they'll go for me.
Oh, okay, I saw Freddie in the waiting room and I was like, oh great, they're going to cast another straight white guy.
Casting has no imagination.
Yeah, not whatsoever.
My understanding is that he is bi.
Are pedophiles straight?
Because that is Freddie's backstory.
Oh, right.
Are we considering that?
Pedophiles are straight.
I think they're straight.
Okay.
Okay.
That's settled.
Do we want to talk about it more?
But we haven't figured out are humans dancers, but we do know that pedophiles are straight.
Pedophiles are straight.
Well, human or dancer, you got to pick a lane.
But you can't be
both.
I don't think so. Can I add someone to the
friend of me list that's for me and Cody?
Please mark this down with the
H next to it.
For Hayes. The honeycomb
beast. The honeycomb
beast. I don't know the honeycomb beast. He
want honeycomb. Oh my
God. I met him once at a party.
I met him at Soho House.
He is a douche.
The brunch there.
He camps out by the photo booth and he sees cool people go by and he's like, let's get a photo.
Oh gosh.
And it's worse to see him at Soho House because they do have a fabulous buffet.
Yeah.
And he is so cute.
The only one at Honeycomb.
He jump and stomp on the table and smash all the rest of the food to get to Honeycomb. Yeah. And he is so, he jumped and stomped on the table
and smashed all the rest of the food
to get to Honeycomb.
Yeah, it's such bullshit.
He spilled a drink on me.
No.
No.
He spilled a drink,
he spilled water on me,
on my black dress.
What?
He spit,
he spit water on my black dress
because he said,
this isn't Honeycomb.
Yeah.
Did you tell him it was?
You told him it was.
Well.
You told him it was honeycomb.
Sort of implied.
I don't remember exactly what I said.
Oh, okay.
I think what I said is, oh, were you the one that was asking for honeycomb?
And then I just sort of slid him a glass.
I never said there's honeycomb in the glass.
Oh, and he got pissed.
If you want it that bad and you can't tell that it's water,
I'm sorry.
Then you don't really want it that bad.
I misunderstood. I thought he was saying that he was
mad at your dress because your dress
wasn't honeycomb and so he spent the water
on it, which he will do.
He will do that to your clothes if they
aren't honeycomb.
Oh, I made sure to wear a honeycomb dress
when I got word that he was going to be there.
And I was like, actually, truth is, I dated him.
Yeah, I was going to say.
I did hear that.
I remembered seeing him.
I didn't know if you wanted to talk about photos.
Yeah, I didn't want to say that on air.
And we try to keep it under wraps.
But like, dude, you try to go get a freaking lunch at Jones on 3rd.
And paparazzi is just like, oh, there's that girl in the honeycomb.
And he's riding on your shoulders.
You're in the background of a lot of the
honeycomb pics that leaked during the
fappening. I know.
I recall seeing during the hashtag
fappening. Of course, I didn't look at the pics
because it's a violation.
When they blurred him out in some of the news
articles, you are sort of... The's your reflection in the mirror taking a lot of the pic.
That you are holding the pic.
And it sucked, because it felt like,
wow, I thought I could still be a person and have this career.
I want to just be normal.
I just want to have this career.
This is something I'm passionate about.
And, like, I don't know.
After that, I knew I didn't want to date another celebrity.
Like, I was just like, I'm not dating another celebrity.
I'm done here. And because also I started, I was just like, I'm not dating another celebrity. I'm done here.
And because also I started to be called, like, the honeycomb girl.
And it's like, I'm ego.
I'm my own person.
I have my own skills and talent.
That's a different breakfast.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm a waffle girl, you know?
So you don't feel me on this.
You guys don't feel me.
Wait.
No, go back.
I'll try again.
You guys don't feel me.
No, go back.
I'll feel it. No, okay. You guys don't feel me on this. No, I, go back. I'll try again. You guys don't feel me. No, go back. I'll feel it.
No, okay, you guys don't feel me.
No, I am feeling you.
I am feeling you.
It's just so intense for me that I almost can't even move I'm feeling you.
Okay, well, okay, I'll try again.
Honeycomb guy, right?
Honeycomb monster.
The beast.
The beast, whatever.
I fucking call him honeycomb guy to just disrespect him a little bit.
Because you're so close to him.
Yeah.
So I was dating him, and he was just like, you know, great.
I've always wanted to date my equal because I'm ego, the waffle.
Yes.
Yeah, right?
Yes.
But he always just wanted me to be, like, known as the honeycomb girl.
So he was trying to change me.
This feels really personal to share on the air, right?
Okay.
This feels really personal. I'm feeling this, right? Okay. This feels really personal.
I'm feeling this so much.
Yeah, do you feel it now?
I find myself really feeling you, and I'm feeling this.
I hate when someone in a couple tries to change someone else.
And this reminds me of a story I saw in a movie recently, The Female Brain.
Oh, my gosh.
And if you saw it at the beginning, and this is a story that I thought, do they have a
camera in my freaking living room watching my life?
Because this happens with me and Steffi.
But basically, James Marsden, we all know what he looks like.
He's a wreck.
He needs a lot of help.
Yeah.
His girlfriend, Lucy Punch, has bought him a hair straightening treatment.
And he's refusing to go in.
And she's going, hey, I got this for your birthday a month ago. he's refusing to go in and she's going hey i got this
for your birthday a month ago why didn't you go in and he's going like well i like my hair which
it's like okay you're not listening but also does this sound familiar fellas yeah does this sound
familiar and then this will really sound familiar as she goes well you know what it's my dad's 60th
birthday this weekend and i think he'd really appreciate it if you made a little effort and straightened your hair for him. Oh, man-nipulation.
Man-nipulation.
Okay, tell me about it.
How many times?
Your book, Man-nipulation.
Yes.
Yes.
Man-nipulation.
Mm-hmm.
And men will use their nipples to try to get you to do anything.
That's my book.
No spoilers.
You spoiled the movie.
Please don't spoil my book.
Well, the movie's not spoiled
This is one of the very first scenes
You don't know if he does it
And I'm
Now I know what the first scene is
I don't want to watch it
I'm immediately
I just dropped into this world
That I recognize
Where I'm going
How many times has it been
My wife's 60th birthday
And she wants me to get my hair straight
And so her dad will like me
How many times has your wife turned 60?
Well you know
These women sometimes will be like
Oh I'm 60 again Well no it's her dad And it's always 60 But it's her dad But you said my wife turned 60. Well, you know, these women sometimes will be like, oh, I'm 60 again.
Well, no, it's her dad.
And it's always 60.
But it's her dad.
But you said my wife's 60th birthday.
My wife's dad's 60th birthday, right?
Right, but that's not what you said.
Okay, but then,
but the first time I definitely did.
Well, you know,
the first time you didn't,
and like, it's with auditioning.
Are you auditioning?
Because if you're auditioning,
No, the first time
when I was describing
a story from the movie. Oh, man, dude, if you're auditioning. No, the first time when I was describing his story from the movie.
Oh, man, dude.
If you're auditioning with a toot like that, you're not going to get anywhere in this town.
You have to keep a positive attitude.
This town owes me everything.
Have you given this town so much?
Straight up.
Have you given this town so much?
I gave it my whole fucking life.
I left my family behind.
I left everything.
I had a job.
I came out here and just said, take me, anything.
I'll do anything.
Did you get on Craigslist?
Literally.
Craigslist casting?
I did.
I was on castit.biz.
I was on fucking actorsaccess.
Entertainmentcareers.net. Union, non-union. I don't give a shit. I was on fucking actors access union non union
I don't give a shit
I didn't
background
so it's in a delicate place
do you know the term arrears
yes
yeah I'm familiar
is that bad
yeah I think that's bad.
I think it's bad.
I think you owe people money.
Well, then you're in agreement with them, because when I called them, they said the
same thing.
You owe money.
So you're not in the union.
Well, it's just to fill out all this shit.
Yeah.
I don't get it.
Yeah.
And these yellow envelopes that they sent.
It looks like they smell weird.
Yeah.
I know.
It looks like they smell weird. Right, it looks like they smell weird.
Right?
You smell, you've never...
No, I don't want to get anywhere near...
What's in them, rotten eggs?
Probably.
I mean, that's what's yellow.
Probably.
Probably rotten eggs.
That's what's the main thing that's yellow.
This town is controlled by like 10 people
who just give all their friends and families jobs.
And you know who those people are, right?
Yeah.
Andrew.
Yeah.
Sheila.
Sheila. Sheila.
Sheila.
Sheila Jr.
The Honeycomb Beast.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, I know the people I saw.
They're all in the Illuminati.
I'll say it.
Fuck it.
Yeah.
The Honeycomb Beast is going to send me hate mail, but we're all in the Illuminati.
And that's your new book coming out, Hate Mail.
Hate Mail.
M-A-L-E.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Hate Mail. M-A-L-E. Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Should we yell at Josh?
The sequel to Manipulation.
Josh!
Is he here?
Yeah.
Oh, good.
So he just yelled at his name, right?
Just yelled his name at him.
Yeah.
He gets it.
You're angry.
All right, Josh.
Time to come in and admit it.
Sit down, Josh.
Yeah.
Shenanigans.
It's time for a trial
by jury of your
peers. Peers.
And we're gonna peer into your
soul. Tell the truth.
Why do you sabotage the show?
He does the same thing with his headphones that Chef Kevin does.
He did the Chef Kevin thing. It's their secret symbol.
Oh, no. Kevin's been working with them all
along. What does it fucking
mean? Well, what Chef Kevin said was that he wears the headphone off his ear so he can listen to Josh's schemes.
And so maybe Josh just wants to listen to his own schemes.
And keep your ear to the streets.
I can't hear my schemes unless one of my headphones is off.
Otherwise, I'm drowning myself out.
Josh, talk about the secret messages that you put into the podcasts that are barely audible that make people think it's not very good.
And make people not listen to it, make it small.
And make it too small.
This is a common misconception.
There are no secret messages to the Earwolf podcast.
I see this a lot on the Reddits.
I see this on Twitter, on certain alt-right websites.
It's all complete garbage.
You visit alt-right websites. It's all complete garbage. You visit outright websites.
Only to make sure that people aren't talking about the evil.
I smell dookie.
I smell dookie as well.
I smell dookie.
It's so strong in here.
And Josh will probably blame it on Bosh, which he has done multiple times.
Oh, and he did blame Bosh.
Did he?
He did blame Bosh before.
You can't blame Bosh. Did he? He did blame Bosh before. You can't blame Bosh.
Bosh is the perfect boy.
Somebody has been taking dookies in the office and eating a lot of the toys that they invent here for some reason.
This is a grown-up adult business, and it's like, somebody ate the toys.
First of all, it's like, that shouldn't even be an option.
Oh, God.
And Josh is always saying it was Bosh, even though he sometimes has little toy fibers around his mouth and dookie on his butt.
And dookie in his butt.
And dookie in your butt, and I can see the fibers of the toy in the dookie.
So cop up to it.
Okay, so who ate it?
Maybe the guy who it's coming out in his dookie.
Probably.
Oh, we cracked this one.
Because you know one thing about the human brain and body is the human body cannot break down toys.
And finally, she's moved off the animal brain studies and gotten into the human body, which she does understand.
And can you explain, Josh, why I saw you with Sheila Jr. and Andrew Kamunsky and the honeycomb beast at Soho House?
Yeah.
I know how it looks bad.
I do feel like I'm being framed.
Oh my gosh, he sounds like Jeff Sessions.
There are those toys.
Totally, and I know who that is.
Yes, I remember from before.
Those toy pieces in the dookie were planted.
It was not me with the honeycomb beast.
It was, there are lookalikes that have been hired.
Prove it.
Now I'm torn.
Pull the toy out of your dookie right now.
Pull it out.
With your bare hands.
With your bare hands.
Take the gloves off.
Take those gloves off.
He's got these leather driving gloves.
My gloves are off.
I'll do it barehanded.
Isotoners.
Like a schemer would.
I've never seen Josh's hands before.
Yeah, they're fucked up.
They're very pruney from the gloves.
Seems like the gloves are filled with some kind of juice.
I like these gloves a lot.
I don't know.
I don't like taking them off.
Take them off.
Pull the toy out of the duke.
Okay, okay.
And Detective Bosh will crack this one open.
Look, it's definitely deep in there, but it is planted.
I did not expect this.
Why do you refuse to use the toilet, Josh?
What's your deal?
I don't refuse to use the toilet.
Why'd you do this?
Tell me how big did you promise us the podcast would be so everyone can hear?
Go ahead.
I promised there would be one million.
Thank you, Chef Gavin.
Downloads this year.
Thank you, Chef Gavin.
A million downloads?
I didn't even hear that number.
A million.
Wow.
I was just saying how you indicated with your hands it was going to be huge.
Whoa.
Oh, I see.
He didn't do the full wingspan.
He did stretch them all the way up.
He did.
Kept it.
They're right about you.
Just outside the shoulders.
They're right about you.
I was going to say that I got to know you outside of here, and I was going to stand
up for you and say, hey, my friends told me to look out for you.
You're the jealous type.
But, you know, you've only been nice to me.
But now I'm really seeing what you're all about.
And I've seen him walking in and out of the back door of Kunta Films.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
You're associated with Kunta Films?
I don't know what that organization is.
Oh, okay.
I just felt like we made a connection as well,
and I don't want you to feel like I've let you down.
Josh, let me see what's inside that cup you keep sipping from before you speak.
White coffee!
White coffee?
White coffee!
Oh, my God.
He orders his coffee white.
White.
Wow.
That's a red flag.
Thank you, Cody.
Thank you, Cody, for jumping in there.
Josh, can you also explain the fact that Cody attached his resume to his resignation letter,
and yet you still have not hired him for jobs that he does not want to do anymore here?
You know, we get a lot of great resumes.
There's a lot of people who—it's an exciting position.
We have to go through a lot of stuff.
But Cody is definitely under consideration.
Okay, well that seems fair.
Yeah, I guess I can't really argue with that.
All right, well I'm putting you at the bottom
of the friend to me list
after that very reasonable answer.
I'm sorry.
I promise if you continue to look through,
sort through the evidence,
there's just a lot of fake news out there these days
and a lot of stories being planted,
and I think I will be vindicated.
Who's your friend-a-me?
My what?
Your friend-a-me.
Yeah, do you have any...
It's a mix of a friend and an end-a-me.
Friend-end-a-me.
Oh.
What's a friend-a-me?
I don't know.
I think Kevin qualifies as that.
Thank you, Kevin.
Kevin?
Oh, wow.
And Kevin just really stepped in it.
I think if he hadn't spoken just now,
Josh would have forgotten he was around
or even what his name was.
That put him in front of mine for Josh.
Shut Kevin.
Stuck his neck out and felt the steel of the axe from Josh,
the bastard executioner.
Oh, I miss that show.
Do you think this guy's not scheming around the office all the time?
I see him pacing and scheming nonstop.
I saw him.
You have a mixtape called Scheme.
Yeah, I do.
I saw it online.
Oh, can we hear some bars?
It's on DatPiff.
DatPiff.com.
Can we hear some bars?
And it's just different schemes?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And there are a lot of sketches, too.
Can someone drop a beat?
I'd love a bar or two.
A little slower.
Scheme.
Wicky wicky wicky.
Know what I mean?
Oh, my.
What's my favorite color?
Green.
That's it.
And then there's like 15 sketches.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like usually the sketches
at least have a song
on either side of them.
But I like his.
But it's just sketch after sketch.
But I like those.
I did like those skits on there
because there's like
a funny thing happens and then another funny thing,
like the same kind of thing, and then like a bigger version.
You should go on SNL.
Yeah.
You should go on there.
See, if you can host or be a cast member, you would be great.
They don't have a rapper.
MyCaps is really funny in a lot of the sketches.
What should I?
The impression you do of my cups.
Oh, yeah.
Your Eddie Griffin's really good.
I like his Richard Pryor.
Okay, thank you.
Finally, somebody's going to talk about his Richard Pryor.
I mean, that's the crown jewel of his impressions.
It's been getting a lot of notes online, yeah.
But I'm glad someone's a fan.
And I promised I wouldn't do it anymore after the critiques.
What did people say?
Haters?
The haters said it was offensive.
It was doing a voice that seemed inappropriate.
And it didn't even sound like Richard Pryor.
And there was no nods to Richard Pryor.
Yeah.
And I never said at any point that it was Richard Pryor.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Well, this is the thing about haters.
They're just going to hate.
That's a really interesting idea.
Can you actually speak on that for a long time?
Can you speak on that for 20 or 30 minutes?
The root word of a hater is H.
And then that's what they do.
They H and then they ate. They do that sweet H. And then that's what they do. They H and then they ate.
They do that sweet H.
Yeah, they do that H and then they H you.
They H you.
Like if you were a meal, they'd H you.
You get that?
Chef Kevin's got to understand that.
It's right up my alley.
So you can't be mad at a hater for doing what a hater does, you know?
That's true.
You have to just like use it as fuel for your goals.
I like that.
Yeah.
And I'm probably one of the first people to say this.
I've never heard this before.
Please don't try to take credit for this on your next episode.
Please.
We'll see.
We do own it.
Okay, well, I didn't sign a release.
Josh! I'm not the studio person. Okay, I didn't sign a release. Josh!
I'm not the studio person.
Okay.
I didn't sign a release.
What are you?
He's right.
Airtight Lodge.
Haters are going to hate, man.
That's what they're going to do.
Just like ballers are going to ball and players are going to play.
Yeah.
And studio heads are going to stew.
Ooh.
Yeah.
And humans are going to hum. Sometimes you go into the dancery, and there's just an insane amount of hateration and holleration
in there.
Mary J. Blige warned us about it.
Yes.
Yeah, she warned us.
Yeah.
Have you ever been to the dancery?
I've been to the Haters Ball.
Oh, wow.
That's the music festival, right?
Mm-hmm.
No, I'm sorry. This is a basketball game that bill hater invited me to oh shit does it happen in la uh it's every year it moves
this year it was in la but last year it was in pasadena oh shit yeah. Wow. And you know what's in the freaking coolers?
What?
Haterade.
Haterade.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I've been to lots of dance rooms.
Haven't been to Hater's Ball, but lots of dance rooms,
and there is just, like, a lot of fuckery happening in those places.
But I didn't come to this town to go to like danceries.
I came to be in projects
and I came to make a name
for myself
and like
tell stories that matter.
Yes.
I gave my whole fucking life
to this town
because I just wanted
to be heard,
to be understood,
to be seen.
I wanted to do something special
that I could be remembered for.
You used to spin signs
on the corner of
La Brea and Wilshire.
Forget it. Yeah. And the signs just said, you know, spin signs on the corner of La Brea and Wilshire. Forget it, yeah.
And the signs just said, you know, just anything.
I wasn't getting paid to do it.
They were like, hey, check out this spinning sign.
And that's something, like a lot of actors aren't willing to do that,
like make a fool of themselves,
and that's what makes them the best performers.
Oh, no vanity in my performance whatsoever.
Right, right.
I don't give a shit what I fucking look like.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I care about?
Yeah.
Are touching people's soul.
Right.
And giving my whole life to this town.
Yeah, this town does fucking owe you.
And it comes from a place of truth.
Everything I do is from truth.
Truth and just wanting to make the world a better place
with your God-given talent.
And just maybe making someone for one second,
one person, feel a little less alone.
That would be worth it if that happened.
And it hasn't happened.
I'm sorry.
People hate this podcast,
but if one little girl hears this podcast,
that's enough for me,
even if she doesn't like it.
Okay, so Josh has made it so that no one, not even one little girl't like it okay so Josh has made it
so that no one
not even one little girl
has heard this
exactly
wow
I'd say you are drinking
that haterade

of planning secret messages
to these podcasts
and it
as somebody who
came to this town
just wanting to
make people feel
like you know wanting to make people no as somebody who came to this town just wanting to make people feel like, you know,
Wanting to make people?
Some of you came to this town just wanting to make people in a laboratory.
This guy obviously thinks he has power to make people.
Yeah, just to make and break people.
He came to this town just to make and break people.
It's all about power.
I think what he's saying, he came to this town to make people,
I think he means him and his squad,
his 50 billion boys
are going to show up
in this town
and they're going to make
a bunch of people
if you know what Josh means.
Oh, I know what he means.
Yeah.
I know what he means.
There's so much nepotism happening.
There's so much.

And don't get me started
on the cronyism.
Oh, my gosh.
And the baloneyism.
I'm guilty of it. There's so much. my gosh, and the baloneyism. I'm guilty of it.
Cronyism is baloneyism.
Yeah, so much fucking baloneyism in this town.
