this is a head gum podcast
it's all right i'm already mad just go
so i'm in um and his kind of like downstairs vr chamber with stop with uh peter uh boyle
just a couple years back uh and he puts on the goggles
and he's like just wait and
just like let it wash over you I'm not gonna give you
any context or anything just like
just like just let
it happen so he puts on the goggles
keep going I'm on like a 360
treadmill so I have like full mobility
in this VR world
and I'm in
the White House stop you're not and i look down and it seems like i am
jackie kennedy no this is like 1961 tell me that and i'm given are you reacting to something else
it doesn't seem like you're reacting to what i'm saying necessarily and you have your hand up in a way stop you're kidding can you hear me are my headphones on
or my head but i thought i was going to be able to make it through the whole episode without asking
but are mine working your headphones are on yes you mean are they okay so you haven't been able
to hear me no but i know what we do generally
it's like somebody tells a story that was like oh that's crazy you were really really close
wow you were so close i could feel it i just sort of watch your mouth and there'd be these
moments where i was like where i paused for you with like a like this is interesting it was like
keeping me going yeah um i'll give you the quickest rundown i was in peter boyle had designed this
vr experience where i play jackie kennedy uh and so i show up in the white house as jackie
and i'm surrounded by like aids and i can hear you you can just starting right now yes and we
had a little conversation before and then i was guessing during that yeah okay and this now is working
hey welcome to hollywood
you're surrounded by aides back always at this industry we call showbiz i can understand how
that would be a difficult time for you to just jump in so it's not your fault not your fault
just like presidential aides it was i was jackie kennedy uh so aids to like the first lady and it seemed like they had
just finished asking me a question when i showed up in this world yeah and i didn't i had no contact
for what i was supposed to be doing and they're all just like waiting for me to do like first
lady stuff yeah he didn't tell me anything i was supposed to be doing so i ended up just kind of
wandering out of the white house it's a fully open world game. And so I like,
I just go,
I go home to my house
in the game.
So you're just Jackie Kennedy?
Oh yeah.
Because that's all
I really know to do.
And your parents
and your wife
are just kind of like,
hi Jackie.
Yeah,
but they don't recognize me.
And so I have to explain
that I am Hayes
when I'm in this VR world.
What year is it?
This is,
so yes,
it's 1961.
So at the time,
yes,
my wife is
a little younger than I am.
Yeah, of course.
I mean,
it was kind of fun
to see her,
how I sort of,
that's how I remember her.
Uh-huh.
It's like,
I don't recognize this,
the person at home.
Now I remember my wife
when she was,
a little,
when she was 45 in 1961.
Yeah.
Interesting. We have a big guest should we
huge giant it's caitlin it's caitlin hi guys get over here do i go by one name now oh you are
caitlin god i'm so much more famous than i thought i was do you want your last name
nah let's just make it a mystery yeah Yeah. It's one of the biggest Caitlins around.
Right?
Great.
Yeah, I'll take it.
I'll take it.
I like to be the biggest Caitlyn.
Yeah.
I think you're, for me, you're up there, baby.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
You ever type it letter by letter into IMDB and see what auto-complete?
Does it come up?
Constantly Googling myself, my name, my face, all of it.
I tried it, and it happens.
All you have to do is click the cursor in the search bar, and it says, oh, you're Caitlin
Olsen.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, I'm wildly successful, and so people are constantly looking up information on me.
And for some people, that would mean that you are extremely, very successful, but I
know the way you're saying it, which is true, is you're successful in a very wild way.
Yeah.
Like I'm crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're like doing wild stuff.
I don't mean I'm very successful.
I just mean.
No, you are.
You are successful and you are completely out of control.
Like a wild animal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Zany.
Extremely zany.
Yeah.
We can talk about this.
We, you came in and you sat on the chair upside down you did a
headstand i know and you pulled the mic down and you said this is how you use a chair and i went
wild okay i'm in for quite a ride yeah yeah and then right after that i was like did you guys see
that just to make sure because you were upside down you could yeah i just want to make sure you
saw what we were looking and it's lame to while're doing it, be checking in a lot with your eyes.
That's right.
So I just went ahead and I just asked.
And what did we say?
Do you remember?
You guys were laughing so hard you could barely talk.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah.
We have to sort of account for it.
So we did an episode where Sean...
So, Kevin, help me out with this.
The timeline stuff.
We have to keep clarifying the timeline.
So we explained to you before the show that this is try month.
We're getting good guests, and we're trying really hard to do good episodes.
And that's what you're seeing right now.
Oh, this is that?
Yes.
This is maximum effort for us.
Good thing I did my upside-down chair bit.
Yeah, no kidding.
Gave us something to kick it off.
But I said this to Kevin in the last episode, and I hate to say it again,
and I really hate using this kind of language and coming down on Kevin so hard.
But Tri Month is turning into Try My Patience Month.
Oh, no.
And that kind of language, Hayes doesn't normally use.
Oh, that's the kind of language that you don't normally use?
Is it because it's negative?
Yeah, I don't.
He wants only positivity.
And also that kind of word play is normally very
hard for me to do yeah yeah it's embarrassing it's gross i see people do it all the time on
these shows and i just go like how do you how did you do the normal way that's lazy maybe yeah
i like i hope so because i cannot figure it out and even because it's too lazy this is the second
time hayes has done
Try My Patience Month in front of me,
and I both times have gone into my mind
to go like, do I have something like that?
And the answer has been no.
Oh, okay.
Hey guys, Chef Kevin here.
Technically Weird Al did it on the first episode too.
He said that exact phrase?
Yeah.
And so that's where I got it?
I think so.
Oh God, now you stole something.
Has anybody talked about patience?
But that's what Weird Al does.
All Weird Al does is steal.
All he does is steal.
Right?
He steals melodies.
He steals rhythms.
No, I know.
And that's the essence of a song.
Yeah, that's how, that's the way it is.
And words are whatever.
And he got rich off it.
And he's getting away with it.
That's the way he got rich.
And he got away.
Well, maybe, is that rubbing off on you?
Like, why are you doing it now?
To become a stealer?
I hate to think that. To see the way he was living and to look at your own life people like that in
here if you're that influenced you're that and i thought i was really going to be able to like
like give him a stern talking to and show him the like the error of his ways yeah but he was
just an intoxicating presence and he did end up sucking me in, in every possible way.
Now you're saying all the things that he says.
No, it's true.
He was so magnetic and so erotic to be around that ultimately I was not able to challenge him in the way that I wanted.
And this is the problem with capitalism.
It's seductive.
Yeah, you were aroused by Weird Al. I get is the problem with capitalism. It's seductive. Yeah. You were aroused by Weird Al.
I get it.
It's capitalism.
Kevin, what is, this is still happening in March.
What order are all these things coming out in?
Do we even know?
This episode is coming out this Tuesday.
Whoa.
I thought the last episode we did was coming out this Tuesday.
That episode is going to come out next Tuesday.
What?
Must be something important to plug.
What happened between the last recording and this one?
You didn't like the recording.
He didn't like something that happened.
Who messed up?
No one messed up.
I just think this episode would be great on Tuesday.
And the next episode would be great next Tuesday.
What probably happened is...
Kaelin, did you give Kevin a little talking to about having to wait one Tuesday?
I called on the way in.
I was like, look,
I think it's more appropriate if
I lead in Weird Al.
This is breaking my heart that you
have Kevin's phone number and call him.
We talk a lot.
That is devastating.
You need to throw out
your phone.
No, no, no.
My kids were like, hey, mom, you got to show this to Kevin.
And so I text him pictures and stuff. Your phone's infected.
Yeah.
Your phone, he's been in there.
He's been rooting around in there.
Oh, he's a big name in our house.
Your phone's contaminated.
You got to get a new one.
And maybe just cycle through burners for a little while because Kevin is the kind of number that sticks with you.
Really? He'll be sticks with you. Really?
He'll be trailing you.
Wow.
He really tricked me.
So far, so good.
Caitlin.
Hi.
Hi.
It's so nice.
You guys, thanks for having me.
You jumped in with the high voice, too.
Yeah, I did it.
That's good.
I feel like we're a team.
To match, yes.
I'm something of a chameleon, and this is why I didn't have one particular friend group in high school.
Yeah, me too.
Have you met anyone like this?
Oh, and see, you're doing it now.
I can see it happening.
She's matching me.
No, no.
This is just, I feel comfortable, so I'm good.
But if I'm having a meeting where someone is super uncomfortable,
I am so awkward.
And then it makes me angry, i'm like why can't i just
let them be awkward yeah but yeah let's talk about so we uh i we had a meeting at a coffee
bean a couple weeks ago was it cool uh when you showed up and i uh pretended not to know who you
are that or that you were a celebrity that's what i do in all my meetings did that work on you
yeah you big-timed
me a little yeah I was like oh you're from right like well it's weird when you walk in and you're
meeting with a writer um who you haven't met right and you you're supposed to recognize them
you know you kind of just let me walk around for like a good 20 minutes and then when you
introduced yourself you were like I'm sorry I've just then when you introduced yourself, you were like, I'm sorry, I've just noticed that you were been wandering. Are you Caitlin? And so then I kind of, yeah,
that, that did kind of, that made me very uncomfortable. Right. But you were interested.
Oh my God. It was very attractive. I was like, this is the guy. That is what hooks you. This
is the guy. Do you remember our meeting where I walked in and then very welcomingly, yes. And I
wouldn't want you to. Okay. I've in a very welcoming way., yes, and I wouldn't want you to. In a very welcoming
way, I said, do you want a glass
of water or anything? And you said yes.
I said, me too.
Why don't you run and get two waters?
Yeah, that was good too. That roped
me in too. See, these are the surprises
that you don't want to admit
that that's going to get you, but it does.
Games.
The world is a house of games. The world is a house of games.
The world, a house of games,
and all of us a player.
Oh, wow.
Caitlin, you love
acting.
You're addicted to the stuff.
And I'll tell you what else.
You're dang good at it.
Oh my god, you guys.
And we want to see more of it.
Thank you.
Hey.
That's nice.
Yeah, I like it.
But we got to fix some stuff, too.
Oh, you got notes.
Let's talk about iconic roles.
Okay.
Sweet Dean.
Oh, God.
It was so close.
So, so close.
Yep.
Sweet D.
Mm-hmm. She. The return. Sweet D. Mm-hmm.
She.
The return of the Mac.
Mm.
Yes.
That was a little bit less close.
Ah, tonight.
The Mick tonight.
Mac tonight.
No.
Mac and me.
That one was called the Mick, but it was only on for two seasons, so I can see how you maybe
forgot the name.
Two.
Doubled up.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Hey, that's one more season
than most of the shit I've been working on.
Jesus Christ, yeah.
Just one full season?
I've been doing one season
and often I'm not involved in the
whole thing. Oh, wow.
That's tricky.
You would think, but it sort of just naturally
happens. But, I mean, you notice a trend with some of these shows, which is that Sean is asked to go home, and then the show gets canceled.
The show gets shit-canned.
Oh.
Did they perhaps incorrectly diagnose what the issue was on the show?
Perhaps the thing that was helping is actually what they got rid of.
Right.
Well, I hope they learned their lesson.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know.
Everybody's doing fine, I guess.
So we got to figure out what we got to figure out.
I got to figure out what I'm doing next.
Yeah.
I got Sonny.
We're doing season 14 of Sonny.
Sonny.
This summer.
Sonny Balwani.
Chance of meatballs.
Sonny and Cher.
Sonny Balwani.
Remember the number two at Theranos?
He and Elizabeth Holmes were having a bit of a fling.
You read bad blood?
Wow.
No, there's a show on FX called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Is that true?
Yeah, it's good.
You know what?
We got Danny DeVito, so that's cool.
I should check that out.
From Dumbo.
Yes, Danny DeVito from Dumbo.
One of the tweens. One of the tweens One of the tweens
From Dumbo?
No no
From twins
Oh cause there's tweens in Dumbo
Dumbo's a tween
And then they don't even follow his tween
What happens to that flying little tween?
Probably get beat up or something
Because if you think about it Why wouldn't they show it in the movie? And the new movie I've seen it follow his tween. What happens to that flying little tween? Probably get beat up or something. Oh.
Because if you think about it, why wouldn't they show it in the movie?
And the new movie, I've seen it.
Dumbo's a tween.
Uh-huh.
He gets cyber bullied.
Uh-huh.
Yeah. At the circus.
Oh.
Yeah.
I haven't seen it yet.
Obviously.
He gets cyber bullied.
Yeah.
Somebody gets in access to his DMs and offers him peanuts and lure him away.
Oh, shit.
And then call him not nice stuff.
Did Danny ever read
lines from, did he ever like read
lines from Dumbo with like
on set? Did he ever
was he ever
confused? Was he ever preparing
to? Let him get it out. Jesus, Caitlin.
The guy's asking
a well-formulated question.
Was it?
And you're jumping down his throat.
I was trying to help him.
He was just stuttering all over the place.
That's not how I interpret it.
No?
Now he's got a great question.
And it is our show.
Take your time.
Yeah, last I checked, it was our show.
And I am actually the one doing the interviewing.
So if I could just get back into it.
Was he ever...
Go ahead.
Was he ever doing Dumbo
and...
Did he ever do it on the set?
Did he ever say...
I will take it from...
So Danny did
Dumbo and
you're working
with him
on your show,
and is he, when he do, right, Hayes?
Yes.
Doing the show going, that's Dumbo for him.
Are you guys done?
No.
Okay.
And he's friends with Dumbo, and is he saying that?
Is he saying on our set that he's friends with Dumbo and is he saying that is he saying on our set
that he's friends
with Dumbo
is that the question
not exactly
no
yeah I guess
I'm not getting it
yeah
I guess not
we can move on
let's move on
yes let's just move on
because you're stonewalling
us on this one
okay
you were saying
before you never
did comedy bang bang?
Yeah, I was saying that before.
I've never done it.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
That's so rich for us.
That's so juicy.
Do you like that?
How did you even figure this out?
Well, we love that.
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
We love it.
Are you guys arch nemeses?
It's hosted by a guy
you've never heard of
named Scott Aukerman.
And he is listening to this right now.
And he's listening to you say that you hate his show.
And he's squeezing his hostess cupcake so hard that all the feelings shooting out of it.
Shooting out the top and bottom.
When he hears you say that.
I didn't say that, though.
I think he's super funny.
And I would love to do his show.
But I'm stuck here on this one right now.
But you can't because it sucks so bad. Engineer Devin, we're going to use our edit. We're going to use our one edit. We get one edit his show. I'm stuck here on this one right now. But you can't because it sucks so bad.
Engineer Devin, we're going to use our edit.
We're going to use our one edit.
We get one edit per show.
We signed a new contract recently.
I'll throw some stuff out there.
Oh no.
Some more stuff.
Do you want to just do them all right now?
Yeah, do you want to do it?
Just get it.
Because we get one drop.
No thanks.
Okay, she's saving it.
Damn, I didn't know this was going to be so adversarial.
Me neither.
But I'm loving this.
Iconic roles.
I'm loving the energy.
We have to do new iconic roles for you.
You're going to come up with the next project I should do.
Chelsea Clinton.
Chelsea Clinton.
Catwoman.
Chelsea Clinton is Catwoman.
She's Catwoman. Think about it. Catwoman is always is Catwoman She's Catwoman
Think about it
Catwoman is always
Somebody who you don't know
So when she's not being Catwoman
What is that movie?
Also Chelsea Clinton
Not quite enough for a movie
And the other movie
She takes off the Catwoman mask
And I'm like
Okay
Yeah
Who is that?
Put it back on
So you're saying
I play
Chelsea Clinton
who is Catwoman
who is Catwoman
hmm
nice right
okay
people are mad at you
you did something
I'm not totally clear
or maybe
you didn't
they're pissed
uh huh
you go ahead
you throw on the Catwoman mask
you go
check this out
uh huh
climb
whatever
climb well is it a political movie I mean throw on the cat woman mask, you go, check this out. Climb, whatever. Climb.
Well.
Is it a political movie?
Would you like it to be?
Well, I just don't know why.
Why are we choosing Chelsea Clinton?
We don't want someone who's so interesting
that you don't want them to be Catwoman.
Yeah.
But we do want someone you know.
It's got to really thread the needle
where the person you wouldn't want to watch
a whole movie about them, but you're willing to watch them if you know they're going to be too. It's got to really thread the needle where the person you wouldn't want to watch a whole movie about them, but
you're willing to watch them if you know they're going to be Catwoman
soon. You also don't want to be pissed when they
stop being Catwoman. Okay.
But it wouldn't just be like me
playing just like a character you don't
know who's playing Catwoman. No, you need to
two characters that you do know. I do like that.
Yeah. I do like that. See? Can we
could we meet
Catwoman who is Chelsea Clinton?
I would love to be introduced and just be able to spend a little bit.
Can we speak with her?
Catwoman, who is Chelsea Clinton.
Yeah, I mean, I could humor you, but here's the thing.
I think it's a really, like, not an idea that's smart.
Or that's something that I would ever actually entertain.
You have the range?
I didn't say that.
No.
I didn't say that.
No.
I just think it's a very stupid idea.
Interesting that you didn't say it.
You didn't say it, but you kind of did it in a way, right?
And so when you say stupid, do you just mean kind of you don't get it?
Like I'm calling myself stupid?
You know who Chelsea is?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm familiar with who Chelsea Clinton is.
Would you rather be Chelsea Handler?
Funnier.
You think Chelsea Handler is funnier than Chelsea Clinton?
Okay.
I'm guessing.
I've never, I've never, Chelsea Clinton's never made me laugh.
Now I'm getting pissed.
Now I'm actually getting fired up and pissed.
So you have somebody you don't know,
and you're just guessing that Chelsea Handler's funnier than them.
And I'll say this.
I don't think we should be pitting women against each other.
Sorry.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I support their whole thing.
All competition?
All of it.
I think they all,
whatever they do is great.
I feel like that's like just
you throwing that out there
to cover yourself.
What?
Do you support women
fighting with each other?
Because that's part of it.
Oh no.
Oh no.
That's a part of it.
All of it.
I'm cornered here.
I am cornered
and I've already used my edit.
Wow.
This is what I was warned about.
You don't need to cover yourself.
I hope I hear from Scott Aukerman's people soon.
It's Scott Aukerman.
That's the people.
That's fine.
His people are him.
I'll leave my phone number for him just in case he wants to reach out.
Okay.
Let me know he can get it through Kevin.
Mm-hmm. Okay. So you didn't like that role. him just in case he wants to reach out okay we know he can get through kevin um okay so so you
didn't like that text sorry came through from my kids i gotta pass it on to kevin hang on one second
okay kevin what's the text say it's uh it's a meme yeah other kids you know what's the meme that's funny man
what's the meme
it's a clown turning the lights off
that's not a meme
what you're describing is not a meme
what does it say
it's cute
lights off kids
that's not a meme
you know they don't always have to make sense.
You know, the kids are six and eight.
This makes too much sense.
All it does is make sense.
It's so literal.
There's no play on it.
I just mean it doesn't make sense why they would send that particular dumb meme to him,
but that's not my fault.
And dumb and stupid and all these words you're using,
but you know that we are very positive on this show.
Well, you're getting me going. You're riling
me up. Okay, and that's good. I love
that you're in that space because we're going to get
a better performance for, obviously not
the Chelsea Clinton Catwoman movie.
As soon as you agree to do something.
But when you do something,
God, you're going to rip into it.
Money in the bank for deposit
for later withdrawal.
Sorry, when you were clearing up the timeline before with Kevin
and saying, hey, this is coming out Tuesday, next Tuesday,
was it because you wanted to again?
It's like freaking memento on this show.
Do you want to again?
Some of this show is like watching memento.
It is.
It is.
You're like, when is this happening?
One big puzzle.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And then afterwards you go like, I think that was cool.
I liked the tattoos.
Who goes like that?
The listener?
Or you?
I do.
Oh.
I sort of on the ride home go like, I think that was kind of cool.
Right.
Were you asking him because you were going to once again clarify the timeline
that in two weeks there will be an episode where I call in
basically during the delivery of my baby?
Yeah.
And that this show is in fact taking place five days post-baby.
The baby is in the world.
Yes.
This would be fun for the fans to kind of stitch together
to do like a flow chart
and they'll probably
use that gift
that everyone uses
of
Lights Out
yeah
Lights Out Cloud
ah
Lights Out Clown
so
or the guy from the show
there's a guy from
the show
with Sweet Dean's Friend
D
who is
the Dean Scream
one of the most
famous and he's looking at all the papers on the wall and he's like Charlie who is the Dean Scream one of the most famous
and he's looking at all the papers
on the wall
and he's like
Charlie
ah
right
Hayes actually
we
have to do
what's another iconic role
well
there's the lights out clown
obviously we could do a movie
about that
it's something that I know
you already like
Andy Richter
what about him you play do a movie about that. It's something that I know you already like. Andy Richter.
What about him?
You play Andy Richter in a movie. About the Lights Out
Clown. Okay.
Andy is being
the Lights Out Clown. Yeah.
You're playing Andy.
Yeah.
Am I getting through to you?
You're suggesting I play Andy Richter, who is a lights out clown.
I think that can be part of, I think we want to span his whole career.
He starts as the lights out clown, you know, then he does other shit.
Is it like a sketch comedy show?
I mean, why am I playing it too?
No, this is a movie.
Like, you got to aim higher than this.
I do?
Yes.
I am.
You're trying to do a sketch comedy.
I'm aiming way higher than that.
You're way past a sketch comedy show.
I know.
That's why I'm confused why you want me to play a man.
Like, whether it doesn't...
Okay.
Wow.
You're not allowed to say that?
You stepped in it.
You're not allowed to say that.
2019.
You're not allowed to say that someone should play something or that they shouldn't.
Or that they couldn't.
Maybe we could say, since the timeline is all messed up, to cover that up, we could
say that it's like 2002.
Oh, yes.
In this episode.
That is helpful for me.
That's a lie.
Do you want to hear something, sweet Dean, about-
It's D.
Interesting, that maybe would give you an idea for a role,
is something that my baby's been talking to me about.
He's five days old.
He is saying that the famous boss baby from that movie works for him.
Really?
So he's the boss baby's boss.
Is that a movie?
That I would do.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah, now I'm in.
CEO baby. Yeah, oh.. All right. Okay. Yeah, now I'm in. CEO baby.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that is interesting.
So then we start on the boss baby and we sort of pull out to see the top of the building.
And you're going, hey, boss baby, give me those numbers.
Right.
So what else?
You are playing this baby in your mind?
Yeah, I'm playing the CEO baby.
You could do it.
I think you could do it.
It should be a girl baby.
It's 2019.
I agree.
Yes.
It was 2002 and now we're cutting back into 2019.
Good.
So let's say for sure, we've had 17 years to marinate on ideas for you.
The Boss Baby's boss, number one.
Come on. So can I speak. The Boss Baby's Boss, number one. Come on.
So, can I speak to the Boss Baby's Boss for a moment?
Yeah, give me a second.
There's a whole thing that has to happen.
And in the meantime, do you mind if I eat this sort of granola cup with almond butter inside it?
Put the granola cup down.
Oh, wow.
It's driving me nuts.
Oh no, the boss baby's boss is here.
I'm getting in character.
Very, very mean.
And she has pulled her shirt over her head like Cornholio.
I'm hungry.
Someone bring me a granola cup.
Well, I have one.
You have one?
Who does it go to?
It's hectic getting out of here this morning.
If I have to say it one more time.
Okay.
Get in the elevator.
I guess I'm expecting more baby stuff.
Push level 23.
Get the granola cup.
Puree it in a blender.
Okay, that's true.
Pour it into milk.
Give it to me!
Ow, ow, ow.
Too loud.
This movie is a little too loud.
Yeah, oh yeah.
Well, you wanted me in it, right?
Yeah, but...
I don't know how to be quiet.
Oh, okay.
Well, maybe we can do something.
That's a scoop.
That's a what?
Comedy Bagmaid doesn't have that.
That's a scoop.
Oh.
She doesn't know how to be quiet?
We'll give that to the Daily
Express.
Think about that. Sorry,
that one is sold to the Daily Express.
Thank you very kindly.
You guys got me.
That's one movie in the can, but that's
animated, and I'd rather see
that face
on screen, and I'm picturing now. I'd rather see that face on screen. Right.
And I'm picturing now I'd rather see it up there.
Me too.
You don't want to play Chelsea Clinton.
You don't want to play Andy Richter.
No.
But we're finding our range. This is like when I'm out shooting hoops and I throw one so hard it
bounce off,
hit me in the head.
And then I throw the other one.
It barely leaves my hand.
I go,
now I got my range.
So what is in between Andy Richter and Chelsea Clinton?
As Catwoman.
As Andy Richter, as the clown and doing his whole career. There's a lot of it. Andy Barker,
PI, that whole era. And Chelsea Clinton doing Catwoman. So what's right in between those?
I think we all know the answer.
Dumbo's tween.
That's right.
The story they didn't want to tell.
That's right.
Now, Danny can introduce you.
Yeah.
To the tween?
Yeah.
Of course he can.
So this, and wait, in this version, you're saying Dumbo has a tween child.
No, Dumbo is a tween.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Dumbo is a twin.
Dumbo's twin, but, oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, Dumbo is a twin.
Dumbo's twin, but... Oh, okay, a twin.
Yeah.
You want to play...
But this, to me, also feels like it would likely not be your face on screen.
Yeah, keep gravitating towards...
Would be confused.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have a pitch.
Too modest.
Okay.
A couple guys are at the bar watching the game.
Damn, I'm loving this. Ian Wings. Just blue-collar boys. A couple guys are at the bar watching the game.
Damn, I'm loving this. Ian Wings.
Just blue-collar boys.
Yeah, and they say, like, bartender, pour me this beer.
Is it Buffalo Wild Wings?
I don't think we can get that.
Yeah, I don't think so either.
I was going to say that.
I referenced the tilted kilt in the recent episode,
but I don't think people really recognize that either. it's just it's just the bar we're inside
we don't have to see the outside yeah door flies open and like the wind is like blowing in their
face and they're like oh my god it's danica patrick oh and then they look over it is you
playing danica patrick what why do i have to play other people what do you mean
other famous people you want a movie about you well no i would like to just be a character
she is something of a character if you've actually seen some of these ads she's a chelsea handler
type in your parlance so she walks in and she's like, bartender, I'll take that beer instead of those guys. And she drinks it instead.
Right.
Chugs.
Right.
Maybe some of it spills out a little bit.
Oh, yes.
We're getting into it.
And then the screen freezes and it says, to see the full movie, go to godaddy.com.
Are we thinking this is possible?
It is sort of a trailer.
It's the beginning of the movie.
So I'm doing the movie, not just the trailer?
Yes.
Okay.
I like that.
But you had me with the bar and the guys ordering a drink and the door flying open and it's really windy.
And in flies Dumbo's twin.
Okay.
But it doesn't have to be animated.
It could be me in costume.
In costume.
On cables.
On cables.
Practical effects.
Is it?
I missed that.
You,
are you afraid of being pigeonholed as being in a bar?
Right.
Right.
We should not set it in a bar.
Are we stuck?
Well,
or do we make it
like a hotel bar
classy bar
yes
not a dive bar
yeah I haven't
really cornered
the entire bar market
well
and this is what
I'm thinking
it's not too jarring
people aren't gonna be like
what the fuck
yeah what's she doing
here in this movie
she's supposed to be on TV
and it's like
at least there's a bar
and is it
instead do we
like get even further away from it and instead of a hotel bar it's like, at least there's a bar. And is it, do we get even farther away from it and instead
of a hotel bar, it's a hotel
breakfast bar? Oh, like a
buffet.
Yes. And it seems like Dumbo could potentially
go ham on that, literally.
And what's on the menu? Cold pizza.
Oh. That's so
good for breakfast. Cold pizza the day
after. It's kind of dive bar-ish and we want to stay away
from that. But I do like
Dumbo flying in
and just going straight for the
mimosas and wrapping a
champagne flute in his cute little
trunk. Okay.
So this is Dumbo's twin sister.
Thank you very much.
And now I
really believe it doesn't have to be animated because we're saying
twin sisters so they're obviously not identical twins.
And at that point, it could just be you.
What we're really describing is Jack and Jill.
I mean, that is something that Jill would do is roll into the hotel breakfast bar and scoop up all the most.
Do you remember the Sandman doing Jack and Jill?
No.
Okay.
Adam Sandler and the Sandman did a movie.
I wonder why you're pretending not to remember this movie.
I remember it.
I didn't see it.
Okay.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Spicy peppers people are eating.
Jill would go run and hide in the woods and cry in the woods when upset.
Oh, of course.
It was a character trait.
Okay.
That's what girls do.
Well, that's what we found out.
I guess so.
So, and Al Pacino, intoxicated by Jill.
Love.
He's doing a Dunkin' Donuts commercial, and he falls in love with Jill.
Oh, yeah?
So, all of these things say to me, let's just do Jack and Jill.
Oh, with Dumbo. Why are we working so hard with this Dumbo twin thing?
But not with Dumbo.
No, get rid of Dumbo.
Okay, so I'm Jack and Jill.
Well, but you didn't want to play a man in 2002 when we first discussed this.
Yeah, but I've really evolved since then.
I love that.
As long as I can play a man and a woman.
And you can play Al Pacino too. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, we're not going to get him. Yeah, no. Not love that. As long as I can play a man and a woman. And you can play Al Pacino too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, we're not
going to get him.
Yeah, no.
Not even close.
No.
I'm starring in it.
Not even close.
Why would we get Al Pacino?
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, great.
So we've got a movie.
We've got a rich character
for you.
So are you going to do
a pop album this year?
Because we have been
trying to sing songs
on the show a lot.
People like that better than when we're doing comedy. Sure just play a song well i don't think it's boring
when people really have an angle but when they're kind of feeling around for a light switch in the
dark which is really what this show is i think that lights off clown this here every episode
yeah the lights off cloud shows up right before we start recording,
and he does a very good job.
So what we were wondering is,
are there any songs that you want to sing for us?
Oh, God.
For your pop album?
And it can be covers.
Oh, God, you guys.
What?
What's the matter?
No, for my pop album.
What, you want to do more of like a country folk thing?
I don't want to do an album.
You don't want to do an album?
How are you going to play Jack and Jill?
Afraid of success.
Right?
Am I getting that?
Sure.
Self-sabotage.
Doesn't want to sing a song on the Hollywood Handbook podcast with Hayes and Sean.
Anna Paquin has an entire pop show now on the Pop Network.
Really?
It's called Flack.
Always one-upping me.
Yep, you and Paquin, you've been neck and neck.
And now she has struck a mighty blow.
Are you going to counterpunch?
Or are you going to lay on the mat?
Alright, what should we sing?
Okay, well, good call.
Yes, what should we sing?
Does it have to be a parody song?
Sometimes we don't even do that anymore.
Sometimes we just sing the song.
And you don't have to
get the rights to it if it's
a comedy show.
Really? Because they don't
take it seriously.
And if we talk
we learn that
if we talk loud enough
over it
then the bots
that are searching
for copyright violations
cannot hear it.
Kevin, what are some songs?
What are some song ideas?
Angel by Shaggy.
I like that one pretty well.
But I don't know
if the way I do it
when I sing along in the car is offensive
Shaggy might be
off the table for us
my first reaction was yes go do it now
but then your head kicked in
if it was 2002 we would absolutely sing
Angel by Shaggy and do the Shaggy impression
but I think Shaggy's off the table for 2019
because we are going to be
sort of fighting our instincts. Let's play it safe.
I felt the bullet
graze me.
Okay, Kevin. Try to trap me
with another one.
Bootylicious by
Destiny's Child? I don't know about that.
Kevin, what about
I got the feeling that Caitlin
really likes smashing pumpkins.
You got anything by them?
How did you know?
We're really forcing this
into the show now.
Yeah.
Right?
Should we not do it at all?
Let's do something else.
Right?
We don't have to keep doing this.
That's the nice thing
about the Lights Out Cloud.
Right.
He knows how to pivot.
He gives you a real opportunity to say, hey, couldn't find the song.
Yeah.
Let's do something else.
That's right.
Do you have baby advice?
Yeah, please.
Of course I do.
Especially for this freaking wild man I got.
I got to say this.
I love my baby.
One of my best friends.
He sounds like a loser when he's crying
he's like screaming crying oh like i'm like it's that you sound like a fucking dork dude oh like
because i'm going for me sure i cry sometimes but i get way down it right you're getting stuff out. His cry is just superficial.
It's up in his nose.
It's not what we want.
I'm looking for him to really get down in his gut. So do you have any crying tips?
You want him to be manly when he's crying.
Come on.
Give me a big cry.
What does your cry sound like?
Me?
Yeah, no, I get pretty guttural also.
Can we meet?
Really guttural. Okay, that wasn't that guttural also. Oh, can we? Yeah, I really let it go. Really let it go.
Okay, that wasn't that guttural.
Even that's better than what he's doing.
It wasn't?
I don't think so.
It came from my gut, if that helps.
To me...
I'm never like...
I don't really like...
Yeah, his is more almost...
He's like whining.
It starts...
It sounds like somebody's setting off a firework.
It's like...
It's like not...
I go,
nuh-uh. Not in my house.
Yeah.
You know what you could do,
maybe,
is put headphones on him
and play
like really deep,
loud,
manly crying noises.
Which I have some of that.
Because he's a baby.
He needs to learn this stuff.
You've got to teach him.
That's fair.
How is he supposed to know?
I maybe haven't been giving him
enough credit for being a baby.
Well, how many days old?
Five.
Yeah.
So he just needs to learn how to cry in a more attractive way.
Yeah.
Oh, no, wait.
Really?
Four.
I mean, he was born on the 12th.
So not even really four, just actually four days.
And he was born the night of the 12th.
So not even four days.
He's not even four days old.
Yeah.
You got to cut him some slack.
One thing that might help too is when he does start crying
like that, you just cry louder
and deeper in his face.
I was pissed that he
ended up, we were in
there ready for him to be born
and he missed 311 by one
day.
Imagine, you do a 311
themed birthday party every year.
Every year, yeah.
All mixed up.
Amber is a color of your energy.
All the balloons are amber, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That is annoying.
My littlest one was due on April Fool's Day.
Oh, and for a comedian.
It was so great.
Oh, no.
And then he went ahead and just stayed in there for four more days.
Yeah.
Oh, he's doing a joke on you.
Yeah.
That's a real, you were the fool.
That was the joke.
I was.
So he missed 311 by a day and Pi Day by two days. Oh, he's doing a joke on you. That's a real, you were the fool. That was the joke. I was.
So he missed 311 by a day and Pi Day by two days.
But it was free IHOP pancakes day.
Oh.
So.
Did you look up? It was a sweet week because there's all around you.
Yeah, you're going to land on something pretty good.
Have you considered doing crying training with him?
You can play the sad,
the masculine crying sounds,
but if you put on the song 15,
Five for Fighting, I think.
Is that them?
Five for Fighting?
Yes.
15 is the time.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, isn't that them?
Oh, yeah.
And then he's going to be going like for.
They think Superman, right?
I think so.
I can't stand to fly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
You remember that?
I do.
I do.
You like that?
Nope.
Okay.
No.
So, that's your baby advice is maybe put headphones in low crying.
15, we're going to play.
But I strike that.
Is there anything else anything mine is actually
very good
no one asked me
but like when I
like if you
do you want to just
get this masculine
crying sound
Devin can we do
like a several
file for this
that's the sound
you make when you
cry
that's the crying
sound huh
and I thought about
some sad stuff
in my own life
to do that
to get there
I'm realizing I've heard you cry before what stuff in my own life to do that. To get there?
Mm-hmm.
I'm realizing I've heard you cry before.
What stuff?
Yeah.
My wife is really old.
Oh.
She was 45 in 1961.
Right, yeah. I don't know if you heard my story from the beginning.
I did, yeah.
But yes, she has become extremely old.
I remember that.
And that's a challenge.
Yeah.
She's probably on her way out at this point
come on jesus caitlin he fucking knows that sorry yeah that's where that came from that horrible
face in it but it's like i can go back and visit her in this vr world that peter boyle
is created for the baby version but and unfortunately when i come back and forth
things are different i can change reality in the past when i come back and forth, things are different. I can change reality in the past when I come back.
Things change.
What's the biggest thing you've changed?
Like what about my life is different that I haven't noticed was changed?
You know Shakey's Pizza?
No.
Do I?
In Hollywood, you know it?
Of course I do.
I do.
You do.
Now I do.
That used to be called Snakey's Pizza.
Whoa!
Oh, wow.
That's huge.
I came back from my last trip, and now it is called Shakey's, which I guess is better.
I don't know.
I don't know if it's better or worse.
I'll say this.
They're both pretty bad.
Yeah.
Neither one sounds really pizza-related.
I wonder if
someone else went on
like a really damaging
VR journey to the past
and changed something
in more serious ways.
I have gone to the past.
What'd you see?
Well,
I went to what at the time
was known as a pizza hut.
Oh, because the pizza's hot.
That makes sense.
That makes way more sense.
And now it's a hut, which I don't know how that happened.
Did you do that?
I know it was different when I got back, but I don't remember doing anything in particular.
Have you been to the past?
Yeah, that's so weird.
It's just so strange that all these pizza places
keep changing
but
I
my favorite place
back in the 50s
to have pizza
was Dammit Ho's
and
I can see why
ah yes
that changed
well I think just the
you gotta change with the times
it's not appropriate
so that might have not even been
you
doing anything in
the past it might have just been no no i was just eating there yeah and then now of course it's
called papa john's yep that's right um classic reversal uh tell them what you're gonna do but
then surprise them with the way you do that. That really did. It was so sweet. It was unexpected is what it was.
Well, because it was a structured joke.
And we still like those every now and then, don't we?
Yeah, but you got to get surprised every now and then.
Yes.
Right?
Keep you on your toes.
I love surprises.
And so I guess what any other baby advice just in terms of like what I should be doing?
More podcasting?
Exercising.
Should I be podcasting instead of spending time with him?
This is now, as we said, day four.
Yeah, I told you what.
And you're here.
Well, you were telling me that you were on the phone in the bathroom in the hospital
as your wife was about to deliver the baby.
Stay tuned.
Two weeks.
That episode drops yeah
according to kevin or three kevin seems to be very unreliable i can't he has something planned
can't you tell yeah but i can't figure out for the life of me what it is i know or how i'm supposed
to keep track his motivations are divided he's obviously got a conflict of interest. I don't know what he's...
I think he's a mole.
I've thought about that
and I've been re-watching the celebrity mole.
I've been watching this Fred Savage scene
from Austin Powers 2.
Right.
It's reminding you?
Yes.
Who throws a shoe?
Come on.
That's from the first one.
Yeah, but...
Oh, from 2. Yeah. I believe Fred on that's from the first one yeah but oh from two yeah i believe
fred savage is only in the second one spy who shagged me is he not in the first one devin i
don't see can we talk to fred about this can we and can we get can we please speak to can we please
speak to to fred and when we ask fred this question fred, were you in both Austin Powers movies?
Fred says no, it's just the second one.
Oh, okay.
I definitely thought we were going to hear you do Fred's voice.
No, I was texting.
No.
You sent him the freaking meme?
Mm-hmm.
Which is it, Devin?
It's a classic.
I'm not seeing it.
You're not seeing him at all
it takes every opportunity to just perform
it might be the third
oh third
I was definitely closer to right
oh yeah
it was advice
would you like to promote anything
any baby advice
I want to promote some baby advice first.
Yeah, that would be great.
Yeah, please.
Yeah.
No, just all...
I was going to say that the way that you disappeared
like right before she was going to push the baby out,
that's always a good thing to do.
Like if you smell that there's a dirty diaper
or something like that, just go...
Go do a podcast over the phone.
You just go say you've got work to do.
Yes, that is this morning.
There was a diaper situation
and I was already running late.
Yeah, so sorry.
But it always needs to be like that you really want to.
You know what I mean?
Like I really want to do this,
but I'm late for work.
So I shouldn't have said, that's my cue.
That'll give you away.
Holding your nose.
It's suspicious.
Putting a clothespin over your nose.
Yeah.
Being like, ugh, gross.
Get it away from me.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it was nice for you and your husband were working on the same show, so you could both go to work when you smelled a dirty diaper.
Yeah, but we brought the baby.
I was feeding the baby.
And the baby's there.
Yeah.
Okay, from the body.
Straight from the body.
Yes, and I've been seeing the
baby doing this too eating from a body isn't do you how do you feel about that is it weird that's
insane it's kind of awesome right all of it has been pretty crazy yeah it's real crazy well when
they come out that's what was in there yeah the whole time you know what i mean yeah like you're seeing this guy go
that was it yeah all curled up in a ball that's what it was and there's such a mystery for so
long like what is in there yeah did like did it have hair freak me out yeah yes really hair that's
so weird mine were bald there's something about that that's so weird. There's hair on the head. A lot of hair
on the head. We'll see if it stays. A lot of hair
on the head in high school. But not really eyebrows.
So I go like, what's this
choice? Oh no. I have a question for you.
In high school, my drama teacher said that when his
wife gave birth, he lactated.
Did you? What? Did you do that?
Whoa, that is
dramatic.
Just a little bit.
He said a little bit from both nipples.
That's a lie.
From both nipples.
That man lied to you.
What else did he do to you?
I didn't check.
No, I'm the one with the predatory beauty.
Oh, yes, that's right.
But go ahead.
He taught you the key to acting.
You're looking at it.
You're watching it.
He's performing right now.
Wow.
Always performing. God, what a genius that man was. Yeah. Yes. you're looking at it you're looking at it you're watching it he's performing right now wow always performing
god what a genius
that man was
yeah
yes
you didn't do that
did I Rob?
did I what?
did he make a milk
did he bust from his
did he bust from his nipples
I don't think so
did he blast off
no he didn't mention it
he didn't mention it
if he did he didn't
yeah cause if I did it
that's for me
but you could see
if he was wearing
like a heather gray t-shirt
or something
you could probably really tell.
That's the worst color for liquids.
It really shows up.
No, I don't think he did. He did
go and take a shower when I was
in labor because he didn't feel fresh.
Okay. And why
do we think he might have gone to do that?
Oh, do you think he lactated?
He got to wash the milk.
Just spraying everywhere. He had to go wash that shirt. Why do you think I went and? He got a wash of milk. Just spraying everywhere.
He had to go wash that shirt.
Why do you think I went and did a phone call?
Yeah.
You know? It's embarrassing.
Because of freaking milking.
So do you want to plug anything?
You know, I do a show called It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Yes.
We're back for season 14.
Yes.
Longest running show.
Live action comedy. That's nutso. Pretty. Longest running show. Live action comedy.
That's nutso.
Pretty crazy, right?
Cool.
There's that.
And then that's it for now.
I'm friends with Patrick Walsh.
He was on the show before.
I love Patrick Walsh.
A couple of times.
He's a good guy.
A couple of times.
Funny, funny guy.
What else about that show?
That's my biggest connection.
That's it?
That's as close as I can get.
You're making me feel like you've never seen it.
Are you kidding me?
No.
The gang does this.
The gang.
Remember when the gang is trying to.
Well, there's this device in which the gang is always up to something, aren't they?
I'm friends with Howard from the show.
Howard?
Howard who?
Oh, you don't even know Howard from the show?
I have a feeling you don't know.
Below the line.
I just said his name.
You just said that you don't know. Below the line. I just said his name. Howard who?
He's very
big on the show.
He's one of the main guys.
The main ones.
You should tune in. It's funny.
It's a funny show. Howard Howerton.
Howard Howerton.
I'll tell Howard
that you said hello.
From both. And if you see I'll tell Howard that you said hello yeah from both from both
and if you see Pat
yeah he doesn't work on our show anymore
what happened there
he moved on
I don't know I'm not in charge of the writers room
you're still cleaning up the mess
still trying to put the pieces back together
and of course if I were to ask someone like
Sonny Lee he would say it's not always Sonny in Philadelphia.
Oh.
Because he doesn't work there anymore either.
He doesn't work there anymore.
But he's got the name in common.
I wonder what happened there.
I don't know, guys.
Both very, very funny.
Funny guys.
Good people.
You know what?
We just had a different idea.
You had a different idea of different You had a different idea
Of how to do the show
From either of those guys
Neither one wrong
Neither one right
Just different
Just different
And sometimes it's best
To just wash your hands
Of one another
And say never again
It's best for you to go on
Best of luck
