This is a HeadGum Podcast. We don't need the song for it. We do it for the episode. It's like a pre. We do it for the episode.
Yes.
If and when we elect to do an episode, if we decide to use you, we will absolutely, you'll hear the whole song.
Okay.
Yeah.
So what, I guess we've looked at your resume. Thank you for being early, first of all.
Yes.
Really early.
Of course.
Really early.
So this just doesn't air. Yes. Really early. Of course. Really early. So this just doesn't air.
Yeah.
No.
Well, first, I guess we've been looking over some of your stuff.
Okay.
Some cool stuff.
We wonder what is it that makes you think you would be the right guest for our show?
He likes to, I'm sorry.
He likes to get right into it.
I want to say thank you so much for coming.
Thank you for being here.
Of course, traffic can be a bitch this time of day.
I live on the west side, so it's a long drive.
But I've known you guys for a long time, so it's my pleasure to be here.
Absolutely.
In a different context you have.
And context is important in this case because you are, like Sean and I was looking through some of your stuff, which I thought was like so funny.
Some of it was great.
Some of it was really interesting.
Even stuff that wasn't for me, I really respected what you were doing.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
But I don't see you on like the podcast.
I don't get asked a lot. I don't get asked a lot.
I don't get asked a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And why do you think that is?
We're the first one through the wall on that.
But we've broken a lot of podcast guests.
Well, that's why, I mean, I think that that's why I appreciate the opportunity to kind of
let me show my wares and see if this could possibly go somewhere.
Yeah.
It takes one person giving you a chance.
Five years, where do you see yourself podcast-wise?
Just podcast-wise.
I mean, definitely not, you know,
not in Marin category.
Not where don't you see yourself, though?
Where don't I see it?
I mean, I don't see myself doing no podcasts.
Okay.
If that's the question, I feel like, you know, it might be niche, but I'll be out there.
The mention of Marin, and I'm not calling you out, but I just wonder if the breadth of knowledge of podcasts is not really there.
I don't know a lot of podcasts.
Okay.
And so that's what I was maybe picking up from Marin being, so like when I hear Marin,
I'm saying, okay, maybe this guy doesn't know a huge amount of podcasts, which by the way
is fine.
That's fine.
And that fresh perspective can be really nice for our show, especially.
By the way, I would love to be his assistant.
The marinade.
Get it?
Marinade.
It's a word like a, you know, like a sauce.
Yes. And this is the word like a sauce. Yes.
This is the kind of stuff I can deliver.
No, that's really nice.
You can absolutely do that.
And Jordan loved it.
And Jordan does a lot of Company Bang Bang episodes.
They would do, obviously, that joke.
I want five from you.
He's been holding up his hand for a high five.
I'm so sorry.
God, it was a really long time.
That's my fault.
I got too excited.
I got more than just marinade.
No, absolutely.
No, absolutely no.
And I wouldn't want you to show it all in the interview, but a little more.
Joe Rogan has a podcast.
Yeah, okay.
He's very popular.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Are you into nootropics or any kind of brain enhancing?
I don't know what.
Mushroom coffee.
Oh, oh.
I mean, mushrooms.
I've done mushrooms, but I don't.
Oh, it's nootropics. Which one? Oh, geez. Chaga done mushrooms, but I don't. Which one?
Chaga, lion's mane.
Oh, man.
They got names?
Yeah, well, yeah.
Psychedelic mushrooms have names?
Magic mushrooms?
I just called them magic mushrooms.
Actually, I don't even do that.
I just called them shrooms.
It's the most efficient way.
Shorthand, and that's great in a personal environment.
Are there really names for...
But for the podcast listener, right, they can't see us.
They don't have all the context.
So we try to use full names of the different psilocybin magic mushrooms.
Okay.
Like Chaga Alliance Mane and the like.
A third example, of course, that Hayes I'm sure has.
Yes.
There's the the the baby Papa Bella's.
And this sort of thing.
If this was the podcast, I'd say we'll edit this out.
But of course, it's just the interview.
Yeah.
But we love to sit down as much about the
shrooms as you two very obviously do so that's that's not maybe i do have a ways to go that's
not a requirement um but we just we love to have guests on the show but it has to be the right
guest yeah and we uh this is we do this with everyone, by the way.
This isn't like, oh, we have to interview
Will just to
see if he'll be good.
You swear that you don't,
that you do do this to everyone.
Everybody's got to jump through this hoop.
Everybody. And even when they come back again, a lot of times
they'll have to re-interview.
Who are examples of people that you have
brought in here who you've not allowed to do the show?
Who have interviewed and not been able to make it to the actual...
What's the guy?
Matchpoint, the ghost from The Beautiful Mind, Vision.
Paul Bettany?
Yes, thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Yes.
Okay.
Paul. Sweetheart. Paul Bettany? Yes, thank you. Yes, thank you. Yes. Okay. Paul, sweetheart, not going to sniff the mic on this podcast.
Which you have to do.
Which you do.
Okay.
And we'd love to hear you just sniff the mic right now.
That's really nice.
That's really nice.
And again, we got to get him in with this coronavirus thing.
We have to get our big sniffs in.
Now.
Do you know if somebody had hidden Paul and then exposed Paul,
that person would be a Paul
bearer.
And now that is another
famous...
It's not as good as marinade.
But it's similar.
And you did say you had more.
I didn't know it was more on that exact same thing.
But again, this is, I think,
more about trying to get to know you rather
than hearing the entire bag of tricks.
I wouldn't feel pressure to be so funny and doing Paul Bearer.
So just be conversational.
I would say just be yourself.
Okay.
Now, you had a question, I think, that you wanted answered.
Just why he thinks...
Yeah, Bill, why do you think you're the right fit just for this show?
What is it that drew you to us?
I mean, it's an interview for us too, right?
Do you like what we are doing?
I do like what you're doing, and it's not an interview for you.
You passed my test.
I just like the youth and enthusiasm.
You guys have always just struck me as fun.
Fun and handsome.
Handsome, just good.
You know what you are?
You're people I would like to be my brother-in-law.
I want you to marry my sister.
She's married, so don't get any ideas.
Her husband never dies.
50%, yeah.
Which is a possibility.
Then I would like to
set you up with my sister
do you guys
you guys
I know here
I'd say that you
have
like a brother-in-law
now that you want to
have killed
no
no
that's so funny
but you feel like
it's a spot
that could be an upgrade
I
it's
no no no
because that happens don't put words in my mouth where you go this is a space in my life that could be an upgrade. I, it's, no, right? Because that happens. Don't put words in my mouth.
Where you go,
this is a space in my life
that could be occupied
by a real,
a plus.
No,
don't put words in my mouth.
Mm-hmm.
He's a great brother-in-law,
but like,
you just want to be prepared.
Yeah.
For any eventuality.
Okay.
Okay.
Not eventuality,
but for any
certainty. True-ality. Mm-hmm. True-ality. Event eventuality. Okay. Okay. Not eventuality. For any... Certainty.
Tuality.
Mm-hmm.
Eventuality.
Do we want to drop Bill into some...
Do we just want to do one?
Just, yeah.
Do we want to just...
Do one what?
Well, let's...
Just run through it.
Let's try an episode scenario that could happen just so we see how it feels on its feet.
Yes.
Yes.
Sure.
So now would be a time to use the theme song okay oh and by the way just so you know it is will so just i've heard a couple bills
and okay if we're making an announcement you know if you're introducing me it's just it's will that
is actually so this is so interesting that is actually the same name basically like you can say
Bill
this is so funny
no and that's why
I didn't stop it
like as
conversationally
it was fine
because I knew
you were looking at me
and you know
it's got the ill
is it short for William
short for Willis
Willis
and in fact
I used to be Billy
until I was
should we save this
for the
for in the show
this is really good this would be probably our best episode if we we save this for in the show? This is really good.
This would be probably our best episode if we
had got that conversation in the show.
We didn't play the song, but
yeah, I mean...
So Mr. Will.
I'm going to assume that I'm going to come up with
other gold stuff,
so let me just say the rest of this then.
Great.
It used to be Billy until I was about five years old.
And then I got teased at school because of Billy Jean King,
was a very popular tennis player at the time, powerful tennis player.
And, you know, I thought I came home and I was, you know, I'm like,
oh, I don't want to have a girl's name.
I want a boy's name.
From now on, I'm Will. Yeah. So that to have a girl's name I want a boy's name from now on I'm Will
so that's how you know
that's
now I'm wondering if that's
if that's even good for the show
yeah well that's why
my instinct too
that's why I said it before you did the
theme song yes yes
that was smart that was a great instinct to get that off
before we started
actually doing the show.
doing some,
you know,
some pre-exercises
making sure that my mouth
can say all the
sounds in the
English language.
Absolutely.
And we don't want to
get into territory
where our guests are saying
like they don't want to be
called the same name
as like a lesbian
because,
in fact,
what we should be saying
is I didn't want to be
called,
call me a lesbian.
Oh, no, no. This is to show you the growth me as a person like yes you know super homophobic five-year-old and now i'm this evolved adult who's like hey bring it on me you know call me
cynthia i don't care yeah yes okay and is that a famous lesbian that had nothing to do
with Cynthia Nixon
okay that's okay
to me it doesn't matter
call me Margaret
call me
princess
call me papaya
it's just a word
it's just a name
it's who you are
it's what comes from your heart
why do I call this a cup?
Right.
Why do I call this cup?
Because other people call it for years.
Because it's something you understand.
But to me,
do I care what it's called?
No,
this could be Cynthia Nixon.
To me,
this could be,
oh,
let me have a Cynthia Nixon of water.
Yeah.
You know,
that's what Billy was.
That's what Billy was.
And that's what Billy was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's not why you were pissed. What's what Billy was. That's what Billy was to me. And that's what Billy was. Yeah. Yeah. And that's not why you were pissed.
What's what Billy was?
Billy was just like the cup.
Just like I didn't care.
It was just a thing that happened back then.
But you did change your entire name.
I did change my name.
Transform your identity.
Yeah.
And then when I brought that back, that memory, you got actually pretty pissed at me.
No, this was a learned anger from past experiences.
This, no.
Yeah.
No, I'm not.
Don't go there.
Okay.
And we're not, and I'm not there.
And was that, was that Trump that just showed up?
Did Donald Trump just show up?
That would be, cause that would be huge.
Huge.
You're fired. I can't believe we didn would be huge. Huge. You're fired.
I can't believe we didn't play that theme song.
You're fired.
Get out of here.
I'm here, Mick Mulvaney.
Hi, it's Donald J.
Trump.
J stands for John.
Not anything longer than John.
Wow.
Just John.
So cool to just not, right up top, be like here are like the impressions that i could
no i know that i brought it up you know go up the ramp then yeah jump the river like evil
can evil damn so let's do one let's get let's rock yeah so we start with like okay stop stop
stop we start you know we're like telling uh, we're in the process of telling a story.
Should we even do this anymore, this part?
Well, for this, for the run through, we can do it.
But going forward, we can talk about whether or not to keep doing that.
But now I think we should keep doing it.
But I think we should stop.
So I'm going up and down dials. So we're
Going up and down
Dials
Lost
No not lost
No no no
We're selling
We're at the baseball game
Selling rare coins
Yes
We're yelling
It's me and
Maurice
Le Fay.
Maurice Le Fay.
And we're yelling out like,
rare coins here.
Get your rare coins.
Get your rare coins from Japan.
Coins with Muppets on them.
And then I'm looking at these
and I'm like,
these don't look like,
I don't recognize
these Muppets.
These aren't,
they're Japanese Muppets?
What kind of like,
I guess maybe
they're Japanese Muppets.
I didn't know
they had different ones.
I feel like they were just
fake Muppets.
I don't want to,
I don't know where,
what is safe necessarily in terms of even guessing a Japanese Muppet's name.
Do you know what I mean?
Like if I say like...
I think you should guess one.
Is it rude not to guess?
Like if I said like Kermito-san or something, like is that...
Oh, that's okay.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But because it's like so the most basic, uninteresting guess.
Right, but if I were to do a really good guess,
it probably would be sort of dangerous.
But...
What?
Were you...
Did you want to guess one?
No, let's introduce the show.
Okay, we have a guest.
Yeah, well, let's say this.
Welcome to Hollywood Handbook.
Insider's Guide to Kicking Butt and Dropping Names
in the Red Carpet Linebacker Hallways of this industry we call showbiz.
What up, what up?
Will Forte is here.
Will Forte.
Hey.
Hey.
What's up, dude?
How much?
How are you?
Yeah.
Doing great.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you.
You know, my name used to be Billy until I was five.
Okay, I feel a story coming on.
No.
Yeah.
Okay, well, I was teased at school because of Billie Jean King being, you know, a very
popular tennis player at the time.
And, you know, she's obviously a woman.
A Billie Jean's, not my tennis player.
Yes.
She's just a woman who has the same name as I do.
As you did.
But a young manish woman.
And at the age of five, I'm not okay with that.
Because, you know, I got teased At school as a young man
So I came home
And said my name is now
Will
I'm stepping outside of it for one second
And we will get right back in
I do not want to get back into the hole
Now that I'm hearing it again
The whole like the lesbian's name
Is repellent to me thing.
Like I don't. Oh, no, no.
I'm saying. It's not. And it's not.
It's honestly, I mean this genuinely.
It's not for us. We'll be
fine. It is for you. This
had nothing to do with sexuality, by the way.
No, I know. This is just
like, you know, just
you know,
weird
stuff as a kid.
Yeah, calling it weird stuff.
I mean, calling it weird stuff is like so dangerous.
No, okay.
Look, you're.
And I may have primed the pump.
You know, when I'm here guessing Japanese Muppets names,
I'm kind of saying like we're one of these podcasts that does walk on the edge.
And we do touch the third rail.
No, I know.
But I think you're presupposing
that that's where I'm going with this.
No, I'm not.
So I think we'll keep doing the show
that we have been doing for a few years now,
a couple years.
We do know what works.
Okay.
And what I think in this case is the same story.
I love the area.
The setup to me was like mouthwatering,
but just a different reason.
Okay.
Completely different reason.
Okay.
So let's do theme song,
hit it.
And that should be the only button.
There shouldn't be any resetting or anything.
Thank you.
And then we just cut it out.
Cut it out. Cut it out. Story story. Welcome to. Cut it out, cut it out. Story, story.
Welcome to Hollywood Handbook, Insider's Guide.
Guide, kick butt.
Will Forte is our guest today. What's up, dude?
Used to be Billy.
Used to be Billy.
Holy shit.
It's very fast.
But I came home one day because I'm like, I want to be named Will because Will is a name.
It basically is like inner strength.
Named Will because Will is a name.
It basically is like inner strength.
It's also, there's a, I believe that Lady Di, Princess Diana,
will name her son that.
I want to be in that crowd.
Now that, okay.
You believed at the time at age five that Princess Diana would name her son William.
I had the shining as a child.
Let me get some of this runoff from Princess Diana's son's name.
I mean, that's a lot of foresight.
Yeah. And not only did you believe that would happen, you wanted it.
I mean, I might have provided him with some, you know.
Right.
It's an exchange.
Okay.
And also Will Wheaton.
Will Wheaton? Will Wheaton?
Will Wheaton, yeah.
And he was...
He was in Star Trek The Next Generation.
When you were five?
No, I'm...
You were anticipating Will Wheaton as well.
I'm 49 years old.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This is all anticipation.
This is all ESP or, you know...
Were you using this for lots of stuff,
or was it mostly for the names people would have in the future?
It's not really even a new name.
It's all name-related.
Let me ask you this.
It's how I came up with my name.
Everything else, I mean, I would have played the lottery
if I had those other, you know, those kinds of talents.
As you're envisioning Wil Wheaton
in Star Trek The Next Generation,
you're five years old.
Are you thinking, are you saying like,
wow, this is what the future will look like?
Or were you able to understand?
Thank you for using the word will
and will look like, what the future will look like.
See, all signs point to that name.
And it's like, yes, Yes, the answer is yes.
And it's also...
So you didn't think, oh, this is a TV show.
You're like, this is how we
are going to live.
This vision that you're having
of this little kid in a
Star Trek suit.
Did you think you were seeing
the future?
Like a future king.
Or a set from the future.
Well, I thought that I was seeing just a bunch of parallel universes with one touch point.
So this was that point when they all intersect.
So it's the future, it's the past, and it is the present.
Yeah.
Present.
Present, yes, present, yeah.
Yeah.
And that's why they call it the present.
And that's, yes.
Yeah. Because it's a touch point To all of us
Yes
You know, to be here in the now
Right
Yeah
Talk about some of these movies
Come on, I mean, like, all these movies
You're gonna keep it a secret?
Oh, my, my, the, my oeuvre?
Yeah
What's one of these?
What's one of these?
Beer Fest.
I was in Beer Fest.
Uh-oh.
Yep.
It was the greatest beer in all the world.
Okay, favorite lizard.
Jay, Steve, Kevin.
I love them all.
I love them all.
No, you must pick.
Oh, cop out.
You have to pick your favorite lizard.
I can't tear the tail off the lizard.
Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Jay Chandrasekharan.
Doug?
Gotta be a Doug in there.
I love all of them.
All of them.
They were very, very nice guys.
They were very fun.
We'll come back to this.
This isn't over.
But nobody invited you to do
a Tacoma FD, which is what
they're doing now? No, they did not.
And that's bullshit. That's fucking bullshit.
You already have the mustache kind of that they
have on the poster. Yeah, and they did not invite me
and that's, yeah, that
rips me up.
But
I'm still, like, I'm here.
I'm here and if, I will do it.
That makes me mad.
But I love those guys as people.
And I had a great, it was, I had a really fun time.
On Beer Fest?
We were in Albuquerque.
And it was just a really delightful time.
They're very, very nice guys.
That was a long time ago.
It was like 15, 16 years ago.
Boy, I want to feel old.
Want to feel old.
And you couldn't do that today.
Beer Fest?
No.
Never, never, ever, ever, ever let you do this.
With this right here?
Never let you do Beer Fest.
What?
This, the way it is now, you're not getting Beer Fest made.
What?
It's sad.
It's sad.
Oh, you're saying that the culture.
Well, I mean, to be a movie in the theaters now it's got to be a uh you know big no avengers movie or
something is that what you're saying i'm saying like dude not even but like yes but i'm also
saying like they're not letting you do that like Beer Fest some of the stuff
Chugging Brewskis
on screen
have you ever
have you ever seen it have you seen that
since have I seen
have you ever seen a movie that is that much
about beer because I had like a
DivX file since
Beer Fest came out have you ever seen
another movie since then
that is almost
the whole thing is about beer
I will go out and I will say that that is the most
beer that I've ever seen in any movie
and I think we all stand behind that
can't do that again
yeah
what's another one of these
you've done a couple did a movie called Brothers Solomon Yeah. What's another one of these? Boy. Another one.
And you've done a couple.
I did a movie called Brothers Solomon.
Don't hold on to me.
Yes.
Yes.
Brothers Solomon.
You and Matt Damon are joined at the hip.
Yep.
Me and Matt Damon.
Siamese twins.
Go get it on DVD.
Go get it on Super 8.
Uh-huh.
No, it was me and Will Arnett.
And, yeah, it was.
It's a fable.
It's something of a modern fable.
The greatest brother in all the world.
What?
It was something of a modern fable.
Yeah.
Who's the dad?
Who is the dad?
Who plays their dad?
Oh, Lee Majors.
Yeah. Six Million Dollar Man. Yeah. Yeah their dad? Oh, Lee Majors. Yeah.
Six million dollar man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dead?
No, he's still alive.
You're sure?
I'm not positive, but I mean, I'm not even sure my dad is alive right now, but he is.
Okay.
So we're getting to six.
I'm just saying I didn't talk to my dad today.
Okay.
No, let's step out.
Let's step out.
I mean.
And that was going okay. Yeah. What was that thing? I don't feel. and that was going okay
yeah what was that thing
but what was going on
at the end
with major stuff
and that you're not sure that your dad is alive
I'm just saying at any second
life can change and that could be
in any universe
so you have like
this like universe stuff.
Yeah.
It's not accessible
for our listeners.
A lot of our audience is babies.
What's wrong with the universe?
Well, but it seems like
you're talking about really a multiverse.
Yeah. No, I guess I am.
I do want to
just drill down on the dad thing
because I am just like putting
different pieces together
earlier you were sort of implying that you wanted someone to
kill your brother-in-law
no that's not true
that's your own bag
you said you were not only that
but you were trying to set up
one of us to be ready to marry
your sister in the event of
because I think you guys are great guys.
Yes, it was an offer.
If it's not my sister, I'll start looking for single women for you guys to be with.
Or are you guys gay?
Are you?
Is that the gay stuff?
I also have some wonderful gay friends.
Fine if I was, but I am married.
Oh, you're married?
I am.
I didn't know that.
Congratulations.
How about you?
Are you married?
I'm also married.
Also married?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's a long list.
I am married to her.
Yeah.
But she is not married.
Both married to women.
I am.
Yeah.
I am her husband.
She is not my wife.
It's this new kind of, you know, Carrie Ann Moss from.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
You would bring up, obviously, Billie Jean King three or four times in the show.
I am married to Steffi Graf.
I have not.
We have not shared residence for some time.
Wait, is Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi still married?
Well, that's.
Were they married?
Thanks, Will.
That's a whole.
Thanks, Will. That's a whole... Thanks, Will.
That's great.
Oh, so you're not joking.
I love to talk about that.
Yeah, because it's...
Wow.
Yeah, no, it's a little uncomfortable because Andre is...
He's really settled in there.
And so, yeah, no, I've talked about this before.
Yeah.
Is if there were...
So that's not interesting.
No, no, no.
No, no, no. That if there were. So that's not interesting. No, no, no. No, no, no.
That is very interesting.
But I'm just saying like if there were at the Steffi Graf's, if Steffi Graf had a family reunion with all the Grafs and they each had to take an exam there, that would be.
If there were a bunch of her family members, that would be called a
polygraph test.
Ah, okay. I thought...
I...
Can we slice the marinade joke
out from the...
That wasn't in anything.
I know, but I'm saying, could we slice
that wasn't recorded?
You're worried about not being able to
get back there there to that level
of joke
no no no
but I thought that was good
and it would fit
into this area
so it'd just go like
I love Mark Maron
and then we don't even
have to say the rest
you can slice that
and we'll just grab
what we already have
which is that you'd love
to be his assistant
so Andrea Jordan
is nodding
like she could do that
it will not sound like that when it comes she'll so engineer jordan is nodding like like she could do that it will not okay oh
sound like that when it like oh then let me just be like here it is but it will lay it for you
fresh so she's not gonna get this either so no i don't have a lot of uh experience with podcasts
but uh why would i want to be here because it's like i love uh marin level uh podcasts
god i forget how it was. But I love Marc Marin.
He's great.
But it would be awesome to follow him around and be his assistant for a while.
Love to be a marinade.
Ha, ha, ha.
That was good.
Thank you.
Yeah.
There you go.
We got it.
Got a high five.
And the high five was quicker, which is good.
It was quicker.
So we jumped off this really quickly. So there was the brother-in-law thing, which is good. It was quicker. So we jumped off this really quickly.
But so there was the brother-in-law thing, which, okay, fine, whatever.
But then the thing, like, you don't know whether or not your dad is still alive.
And it's just making me wonder if, like, doing this now at this time,
you're very insistent on doing the show at this specific time slot,
not a normal one for us.
And I wonder if this is, like, you wanted to establish being here at a certain.
If it's an alibi.
I don't want to say, but just like the way you say like, out of nowhere, I don't even
know whether or not my dad is still alive, which like, first of all, if you're trying
to do an alibi, say that he is still alive.
Are your parents still living?
Both of them.
Yeah.
They are. Yes. Pretty much. How about you? Still living? Both of your parents still alive. Are your parents still living, both of them? Yeah. They are?
Yes, pretty much.
How about you?
Still living?
Both of your parents still alive?
Yeah.
Pretty much.
And I know.
We're freaking lucky.
We have a lot of friends whose parents have passed.
Yeah.
Freaking good.
Yeah.
Brother-in-law's still alive.
It's just like now you're taking on this persona
of guy who loves when parents are alive.
And it's not for me
a rich comedy podcast area.
It feels like for you
it's very important
because of something else
that's maybe going on.
Are we back out of an episode
and into the interview again?
And this is why I feel
the interview's going so poorly.
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
Hollywood Handbook. be a better you in 2024 with babble the science-backed language learning app that actually works don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really
help you speak the language and the question that i always get people stop me and they say like
hey i like i i trust you i know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you
really use and care about but there's one language i'm trying to learn and that's body language
so can babble teach me body language? Yes. Babbel now has visual in-person lessons.
Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages,
handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language
in as little as three weeks.
Babbel is designed by real people for real conversations,
and that includes body-based conversations. What does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date
and they turn around at the door and they take their little index finger
and they kind of draw it towards them?
They're pulling it.
What does that mean?
Does their finger hurt?
I wonder if they spotted a spider web or something.
They're trying to pull spotted a spider web or something they're trying
to pull down the spider down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates and i need i need
and have needed something like babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their
finger because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i was supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like
they've got like almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the
middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost
and they're really aggressively
like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to drive get out of the car yes or just do it out
the window as i'm going that's what i've been doing dangerous yeah but some of these very subtle
body language cues have escaped me and many listeners i'm'm sure. Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real-life situations,
which I have all the time, and delivered with conversation-based teaching
so you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world.
Studies from Yale, Michigan State University, and others.

run but new billy story okay just to reset just to just a palate cleanser new Billy story whatever
blue sky
and then different
movies completely
everything new
if we can do that and also a name joke
in there would be great
do we want to set a timer
and we'll just have maybe
three minutes
I'm three minutes late.
And just hear what kind of small talk Will might make with you prior to the podcast starting, if I was late.
For three minutes?
What are you thinking?
Wait, should I be incorporating these things that he's talking about into that three minutes?
I'm just saying like, you know, something that happens with guests, sometimes one of us is here, one of us isn't.
And I like to sort of rehearse like what
is that gonna feel okay or is it gonna set us off yeah this is great then what if you when you rush
in and i don't want to this is your podcast but this would be fun to do to incorporate his notes
yeah to come in do the pre-thing she runs the thing once you get in here and then we start the
show and i do the things that he wants. Okay.
Yeah, that could be cool.
That could be cool.
Yeah.
You think three minutes is too long?
What are you looking for?
Maybe 90 seconds?
If you could get here in time,
that would be,
90 seconds would be great.
Okay.
Let's do that.
Okay.
Okay.
So there's no,
no theme song for this part.
Okay.
So this is,
this is just like before the show.
And so you're gonna leave Okay
Okay
This is part of it
This is part of it
Okay
We'll shut this
Well where is he?
Where's Sean?
Well let's just do it like it's normal.
But does he know? Has anybody talked to him? Is he okay?
This is not a normal first thing to say. He's right outside.
Hey, so sorry.
Oh, he showed up. Oh, good. I thought I was nervous about you.
No, yeah. It's sorry. Sorry.
Hi.
I had a big opportunity, actually.
Oh,
what was it?
Yeah.
It's,
um,
it's,
uh,
to host like a cooking show,
like,
uh,
um,
like a really mean cooking show.
You had to do that.
You had that,
the opportunity to do that and you did it or the opportunity I had to go and
meet,
I had to go and like,
just like really insult a lot of people's pots and pans
and kitchens and stuff for this cruel.
Oh my God, I have a great name for it.
Oh.
Shots fried.
It interchanges the I and the R.
Yeah, same one.
Shots fried.
If I get it, I honestly will.
Shots fried.
If I get it, I will send that upstairs.
You will?
And I deserve it.
I was late.
I'm getting roasted.
Look, Sean, you were a little bit late.
We had a pretty smooth conversation before this.
I think that you're on the outs.
Would you rather I do it without me?
Well, why don't we test you out and see if you still got what it takes.
Okay.
Okay.
Run the theme song, please, now.
Okay.
You got it.
You got it who?
Boss, please.
Okay, boss.
Yep, boss.
And we're telling the story.
Hey, we're here in the Hollywood, name of the podcast, and we're talking.
We brought in Sean here. A little bit late. He
was a little bit late. Let's see how he does.
Hi. Well, yeah. Yeah. Hi. So happy to be here and thanks for having me on.
Yeah.
Will, thank you for doing the show. How's your family?
Well, they're all very alive and great.
Alive and kicking.
Don't know that one.
It's a Simple Minds song.
Oh, okay.
It was around the time,
probably the same album as Don't You.
Yeah.
Forget about me.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Yeah, don't.
That's how I sing.
That's how you would sing?
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
You can leave them all behind
That really takes me somewhere
It's so confident
It really feels like instructions
When you sing it like that
Thank you.
It can get lost otherwise.
Every show, you know, we start out with like a funny childhood story.
Anything funny from when you were a kid.
Like a name you used to have.
Always had the same name.
Just Will.
Yep.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nothing funny.
No fun name stories for me I was
well I had a mean cooking show
audition earlier is there any
any names come to mind
for that
it's up to the people who name it
it's not my show so
sure of course of course it is
and of course it is up to them yes it's their show
but it could be funny to try to come up with what a name would be.
Oh, so you know what?
That could run on that show.
If it's funny to try something, it could be on Funnier Try.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you could be. Shot fired!
And that's on Funny or Try.
Funny or Try.
Coming to Funny or Try.
I'm clicking Try every time.
You can pick Try.
I mean, but that's the bummer,
is it can be Funny and Try at the same time,
so it's tough.
Oh, Funny or Try,
you either think it's funny, or you vote that it dies.
Funny or try.
It's like, wow, that was super funny.
And they obviously tried very hard.
Of course.
I got to kill myself because I can't decide this.
Yeah.
No.
Or let myself live.
Yeah.
And write a nasty letter to funny or try.
What I would want every time is funny,
and they didn't even seem like they tried that hard.
Oh, yeah.
That is the sweet spot.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Yeah.
When people are so funny because they're just like over it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You do.
Tell me about all these.
You did this movie?
Yes.
I don't like to talk about my accomplishments.
I'm an actor.
Yeah, I act in stuff, but that's not, that doesn't define me.
Okay.
What, is there other stuff in your life that you?
You know, I'm a philanthropist.
Okay.
I help people.
Oh, wow.
That's great.
Who are you helping these days? I just compliment people. Yeah. Thatist. Okay. I help people. Oh, wow. That's great. Who are you helping?
I just compliment people.
Yeah.
That helps.
Women.
I save my own money and do not.
Yeah, I compliment women.
I compliment men.
I compliment everything that, you know what?
I compliment things that don't deserve compliments because that puts a smile on people's face
and they're going to be nicer to somebody.
It's a pay it forward.
Fake compliments.
You're lying.
Yeah.
I lie to people all the time.
This is so fun, by the way.
I'm loving this.
So what made you say that just now?
Like what brought, like what was it that just, you know, the energy or something just like clicked it in?
I can't tell you.
Okay.
I'm unleashed.
When I do a podcast, which I hope to do more of.
No, and we'd love to have you.
The second I walk in the door, if I'm given the opportunity, I take the leash off and I just start barking.
We all the time end up giving references too.
Like if somebody is not a great fit for our podcast, we'll send them on.
Yes, we will absolutely recommend to like two or three other podcasts that we think they would work on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's not a good fit.
If there was a-
Did not say that.
Didn't say that.
No, no, no. I'm not saying that. I'm saying nobody said that. I did not say that I'm saying
I'm leading somewhere
if there was a podcast
called
Pauldi
and a guy named Emerson
who came in to try to do
let's say
Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson Ralph Waldo Emerson, who came in to try to do, let's say Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Ralph Waldo Emerson came in here, did your podcast, and wasn't good.
But it was like, oh, he'd be better with the Paldi.
I never know where these are.
So Emerson was not good with this podcast,
but Emerson Fittipaldi.
Okay.
It helps if you know there's a person named Emerson Fittipaldi.
I think he's a driver.
I figured there must be.
He's a what?
A driver.
A driver.
Like an indie car.
I'm not sure.
Like a classic
Like slot cars
I would guess
It was like 70s
Like during the
Al Anser years
Did we introduce
And this is part of it too
This is a family
Please don't make that noise
Please Jordan
What about the family?
This is a family
Earwolf this show
This is a family
If you wanna
Get along with me
You gotta be in with
When you ask are my mom and dad alive
Yeah they're right here
are you leading me into a
Spice Girls song
I don't think so
if you wanna be with Anne Wolfe
get with my friends
get with my friends
I don't know the words
it's a fake song
I just want to introduce the other people that work on the show I don't know the word. No, yeah. It will forever end. It's a fake song.
You get the pick. I just want to introduce, like, the other people that work on the show are extremely important to me.
My podcast family is everything.
This is Jordan, Engineer Jordan, who is now going by Engineer Duffy, which is her last name, because we are growing up here.
Jordan Duffy, JD.
And we are adults.
And they did another high five.
She does not have her JD.
She does have a BA.
And it's in vocal performance.
Okay.
Yes.
That is true.
I know you've been doing a lot of singing.
Yep.
Perhaps we create some space for Jordan to do some singing.
Yeah.
Jordan, do you want to sing a Spice Girls song about the Earwolf family?
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe later.
Yeah.
Let me think of one.
Yeah.
Take your time.
Yeah.
And this is Kevin.
Hey, Will.
Chef Kevin here.
Hello.
Wait, did you by chance look up Emerson Fittipaldi?
Yeah. He's a Brazilian race car driver.
He's 73 years old.
Nailed it.
Wow.
I did nail it.
Yeah.
So it all checks out.
He was like big in the 70s then in that.
He's big in his 70s right now.
And probably in the 80s as well.
Yeah.
No, he's big in the, yeah.
By the way, 73, that's supposedly when I will die
And that's according
73 I am going to get stabbed
According to the Ouija board
Die of stab wounds
And I saw you brought the Ouija board in
Yes
I don't go anywhere without it
Yeah, no, that was interesting
When you set that up right away
And I mean this isn't
normally part of the show should we ask the Ouija board a question this is we have it's the first
time we've ever had I do want to say like just for like normal like speaking relationships with
Kevin when like we you were introduced to each other and then then you said, did you look up that thing that I said earlier?
Yeah.
Which is like, that is his job.
It is his job to be doing that.
The only reason I asked was because I am, when I talk,
I basically am looking kind of in on him.
And for some reason, during the Emerson Fittipaldi,
I saw him fidgeting a little bit.
And he does not look to be a major public masturbator from first sight.
So I was like,
certainly not a major one.
I think he's texting.
No,
not anymore.
Not on this show.
That was,
obviously we endowed him with the persona of pervert as we do almost all of
our male engineers or producers.
But we've moved away from that with Kevin in particular.
Maybe.
Jordan looked up like,
Jordan, do you want that?
I want to get back to her singing something.
Well, and she's had a little bit of time.
And are you looking up lyrics?
Yeah, I wrote some down.
Oh, great.
Did you?
Yeah.
Okay.
Do you want a karaoke track behind it or you just want to roll?
Oh, my God.
Sure.
We could do a karaoke track.
Okay. We could do a karaoke track. Okay, and Will disappeared and the freaking sound machine has arrived.
It's a great sound machine.
Not the correct beat, but I guess I'll go with it.
What's the beat of my time signature? It'll be Say You'll Be There by Spice Girls.
I'm just going to go off your Spice Girls thing.
Say You'll Be There.
Jeez.
And that's not to me.
I'm just going to go off your Spice Girls thing. So he'll be there.
Jeez.
And that's not, to me...
We're reaching past some of the obvious ones.
Oh. want to record a podcast you should come to earwolf and if you like to do some improv and
to listen to your own voice then you should come to the earwolf studios where you get a karaoke
track from will for day if you like to do the podcast, then you should come to Earwolf.
That's all I got.
Wow.
Wow.
Now, this is a huge problem.
Because now people will say, now you have to follow through on this.
You realize that? Follow through on this. You realize that?
Follow through on what?
You're saying to people, if they want to record a podcast,
they should come to Earwolf Studio.
Sure.
No.
It's not just anyone comes in here and does, you know,
I know you look at the other jokers on this network,
you think, oh, they must be on wedding.
There must be anybody off the street can just walk in.
They must have busted the locks on this network, you think, oh, they must be anybody off the street can just walk in. They must have
busted the locks
on this door.
What if she had,
can I give some
constructive criticism,
criticize them then?
Yeah.
If you had added
in something like,
if you
want to do a podcast,
just come interview
like we're full time.
Uh,
yeah.
That's much better.
And then everything else works
because it's,
and it makes you feel bad
You have to go through
You can't just walk in
It makes it sound
It makes it sound
And that's why it's a huge problem for me also
Personally with Will
Making him go through this whole thing
And you're saying anybody just come in
Will
With a short I
not whale
it sounded like you were saying like Moby Dick
a whale
I started swearing
is swearing allowed?
get it out
we say the most messed up stuff
we say some of the nasty
we go so dark
we say the most
and we'll like combine them in these ways that are like so Some of them are nasty at all. We go so dark. We say the most.
And we'll combine them in these ways that are so funny.
It's Veep level insanity in terms of like, yeah,
we invent new swears just for the show.
And it just gets so gross. Yeah, we do the most creative cursing, and we will just go off.
What's each of your favorites?
Uh,
of combos.
Oh God.
Whatever.
For me,
it's like,
Oh,
don't make me pick.
Hey,
did you want to go?
My favorite one,
my favorite,
uh,
just like swear combo is probably,
uh,
fucking penises balls.
Yes.
And mine's similar and it's fucking pumpkin dick nuts.
And that to me is like, it's so creative and it's so wild.
And it is challenging language.
We become so stale in the way that we not only communicate politely,
but also in the way that we curse.
And by introducing these new creative curses,
I'm actually growing the human brain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you want to do a crazy swear?
Or just like talk about this.
So like, this is the kind of conversation.
Dickie bird.
Yeah.
You can be louder.
You don't have to be so quiet.
It doesn't have to be quiet.
It's a jerk ass dickie bird.
Jerk ass dickie bird.
It can be really loud.
Go fly off,
you fart.
Fuck.
So this is like the way,
like we like to have real conversations on this show.
Like this is,
I forget if we're in the,
in the show or not, but this is exactly right.
Talking about language, talking about expanding the human brain,
like really getting into it. Well, it's just like back to the stuff like what's a cup versus –
Yeah, exactly.
Back for the first version of the Billy to Will story.
Yes.
Like, what does any of it mean?
Like, just somebody arbitrarily made up some word.
Whoever got the privilege of naming stuff first.
It is.
Probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so we're like, okay, master, no.
Yes.
Well, you're talking about Adam, first of all.
We know who it was.
Yes, exactly.
Adam and Eve. He named everything. Adam was there. Adam named it Cup. Oh, thanks for the Cup. no yes well you're talking about Adam first of all we know who it was yes exactly
Adam and Eve
he named everything
Adam was there
Adam named it cup
oh thanks for the cup
oh I guess we got it
grab me a cup Abel
yeah
yeah
but it could have been a cap
and then you could be
taking cups off pens
and it's like a pen
could be a
a pwn
that's totally
yes it's totally arbitrary
and a piece of paper
could be a pooper
yeah
yes and a pooper and a pooper. Yeah.
And a pooper could be, yes. Should probably change what a pooper is.
And a pooper could be, yeah, paper or, yeah.
Yeah, paper, yeah, sure.
You can just switch them.
That's paper's available now.
You get a pooper cut.
It's crazy.
It's sick to think about getting a pooper cut.
Yeah, but it's also really interesting.
Well, yeah. It's a piece of sexist. Yeah, but it's also really interesting. You take it sexist. Well, yeah.
You take it sexist.
Yeah, and Hayes does.
Hollywood Handbook.
Well, there's a reason they call me the March Maniac.
I get maniacal around this time of year because March Mania is happening in DraftKings Sportsbook.
happening in DraftKings Sportsbook. One of America's top rated sportsbook apps is giving new customers and maniacs like me a shot to turn five bucks into $150 instantly in bonus bets with
any college basketball bet. Those maniacs are even more maniacal than me, the March Mania, I get a little maniacal.
And let me tell you something.
The best bet that I'm seeing on the board
is one that will already have happened by the time you hear this ad.
That's right.
I'm here to give you a nonspecific line from a college basketball tournament game,
which you will not be able to bet on
because the college basketball tournament games that are going to happen after you hear
the ad do not have lines up yet.
I have to give you a line specifically from today.
That's how the lines work.
Today, there are two games taking place, both of which you will not be allowed to wager
on.
They will already have happened.
San Diego State Aztecs are favored over Boise State.
Oh, mama.
Hey, I wonder if their basketball court is blue like their football field.
Sports facts, that's the March Maniac for you.
Also, the Dayton, Ohio Flyers are favored over VCU.
Hey, you know what?
I'm going to go double underdog on that one
because I'm a maniac. Okay. Have fun seeing the games or checking up on the scores of whether I
hit my bet that you could not participate in. Download the DraftKings Sports app and use code

but it's actually important to have these conversations. I think about this with colors.
You ever look at a color? I don't see colors.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I don't either.
No, that's what I was going to say.
No, why is everyone seeing these?
I was going to say that.
No, you took what I was saying.
I just railroaded you away from what you were going to say.
No, no, no.
You actually helped.
That actually is what he was going to say.
I read something today about somebody who.
Now that was, this is railroaded.
The question, it was something on Twitter,
and it was like, add up like 89 and 27.
Okay.
And so it said, how did you do that?
Yeah.
And then there are a bunch of different ways that people do it.
And mine was, oh, take 80 and 20 and add them together and then 9 and 7.
But I got it fucking fast.
Yeah.
It was really good.
But then other people, you know, do the, do the, you know, line them up over in their
head.
Yeah.
And they drop it.
Yeah.
But then somebody said that they think in colors, like, like they're the, the, the numbers
were colored.
It's weird weird different numbers have
different colors so i wouldn't be able to say that have you ever heard of that yeah
that i mean i sounds like is this kind of like how you guys like to talk about swearing and stuff
it's closer okay yeah it's really close it's all around it It's like arid extra dry
How do you do
Get a little closer
Kevin, how do you add those?
Don't be shy
You can get
You can get a little closer
With arid extra dry
Wow, and isn't it
Oh, and you know what I'm thinking of is big red
Oh
Oh Which to me is big invisible So dead a little longer Isn't it? Oh, and you know what I'm thinking of is Big Red. Oh. Mm-hmm. Oh.
Which to me is Big Invisible.
So dead a little longer.
Yeah, longer, not closer.
Touch a little longer.
But it is getting you closer when you're touching longer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you do the numbers?
I always keep my marbles with me.
And then so I count out 89 marbles, and then I count 27 marbles with me. And then so I count out 89 marbles
and then I count 27 marbles.
And then I realized I should have
just counted it as like
one full thing. Because I'll get 89
and then I'll go 1, 2, 3
and I'll hang out. I should have kept going.
Do you know what you need?
Yeah? This could
change your life.
Assemble the marbles into an abacus.
Okay.
Okay.
Something to hold them.
Just some.
I honestly do not care what it is at this point.
Abacus, great.
A bag, ideal.
He's walking right into a trap of somebody saying, Kevin's lost his marbles.
And he has never lost them, but chasing them down the street.
Constantly.
And just every time you ask him to do anything,
and he has to very carefully place his marbles down,
and he's sort of like, or you put him in his shirt,
and then he's pulling his shirt up so high,
and he's kind of showing you his tummy in this way that's like,
it doesn't feel good.
Do you know male cows?
Yeah.
Male.
Yeah.
Sometimes.
This is going somewhere good.
I can feel it.
Sometimes they're pristine.
They look fantastic.
But then sometimes, you know, maybe they'll get mud on them.
They will be messy.
Yeah, thank you for saying that.
There is a possibility that somebody could throw paint on them,
but I hate it when people marbles.
I hate it when people marbles.
We were talking about him marbles earlier.
Yes, yes.
And now that, okay.
The phrase, I hate it when people marbles yes yes mar and now that okay the phrase i hate it when people marbles doesn't know when they are bulls no but we had been talking about marbles very recently
yeah sure yeah oh i never yeah oh oh hey oh Oh, you got it?
It's raining really hard.
Okay.
Right?
Okay.
Your Olympic swimmer from Australia, last name Thorpe.
Torpedo.
I call him Torpedo.
You know what I mean?
Because he's going through the water so fast.
Okay.
Yeah.
But that's okay.
But let's talk about that later okay so it's
raining super hard and are we really gonna talk about it later is it just your thing and then
okay go ahead yes we will okay so so ian thorpe is at did you want to save the his the first name
first we don't i was going to but then it's like, it doesn't matter.
This fucking works.
This is so good, yeah.
So it's raining super hard.
Australian swimmer Thorpe, maybe they'll forget by the end.
Australian swimmer Thorpe is eating with a bunch of friends,
and they're done.
They pay their check.
Doesn't matter what he's eating.
Raining cats and dogs.
It doesn't matter if they're eating kangaroo or something.
Okay.
He's Australian.
And so they, it's like raining super hard.
They get their check and it's like, you can't just walk.
They don't have umbrellas because it was a sunny day
when they first walked in.
Yeah.
So it's like, they got to run out to their vehicle.
Yeah.
So it's like, Kardashian, Kardashian, Kardashian.
You know, I'm thinking with these,
I'm realizing it's been under my nose all along.
Comedy bang bang.
And I said that right away.
You did?
I said they would love to have.
That is the show.
Much bigger audience and some of this
and some of the stuff that you've been doing.
It's like a perfect fit.
Did his name need to be Thorpe?
Maybe we only needed his first name.
What if, what, okay, okay.
You know, like what?
Okay, okay.
Are you getting this too, Kevin?
Do you remember, wasn't there, there was a,
I'm texting Scott.
There was a singer, Nia Peoples, right?
Okay.
And maybe Ian had a crush on her
and he's trying to woo her.
So it's, so he's like, he's got to do that before he can run out and he's trying to woo her. So he's like,
he's got to do that before he can
run out and get the car in the rain.
So it's like,
Kourtney Kardashian.
Kourtney.
You got a Kourtney.
Then Kardashian,
but take out the then.
The then is in a possible.
Kourtney Kardashian.
I'm concerned that like. Kourtney Kardashian. I'm concerned that like.
Kourtney Kardashian.
So I guess one thing that I didn't say at first, and this is completely on us, and this doesn't reflect on your interview at all, is we are not necessarily looking for a way to say Kourtney Kardashian.
And it's not that we can't say it.
Oh, fuck. And it's not that we can't say it, but that is not the target necessarily for the episode.
Which, if it was, Bill, I would be over the moon with a lot of what you've been bringing.
And way better than I would have done.
But just to have it out there, we don't need to.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
I want to bring this all full circle.
Okay.
You got to go?
You have to go?
Yeah.
Soon.
Very soon.
Yeah.
And I understand.
Movie tonight.
Yeah.
I got to go soon.
Yeah.
Okay.
But here, there is, okay.
What's your favorite denim?
Okay, but here.
There is, okay, what's your favorite denim?
There's a great, you know, there is so many different people who love so many different brands of denim.
Yes.
But not everyone's like, oh, Levi's is the one for me.
There's one called Lee.
Yeah, sure. And that brand of denim, there's one person who buys the most.
He's like the king of that brand of denim.
And he buys so much, but they got to charge him.
But he doesn't like to just pay on hand, so they give him a check.
Yes, they bill the Lee Jean King
bill Lee Jean King
oh wow
I was so sure it was going to be
Lena Denham
and they're always smooth
yeah I know it is amazing
it is amazing
no it doesn't it's not as smooth and classic you're
gonna look back no what you did i because i was trying i was putting it together and i was going
oh i'm not that excited about where we're going because i can see that it's that like you know
one day they offer it to him and he says nah and they go wow leena and i was like this is not good
you know what that's getting out but it's? That's getting hot. But it's not.
It's all about the backstory.
No, but I'm learning.
But I'm learning from you.
No, it is.
It's painting a picture.
It's not a construction we've ever done on the show before.
But you're creating these characters.
We didn't talk about that this was something that we were going to do.
And the world building is admirable.
And I think that,
yes,
you're a great fit.
Then you're going to make some podcast really,
really happy.
Thank you.
I just think you are going to,
it would be to keep you from comedy.
Bang,
bang.
I just,
it's a disservice to everyone.
Selfish on our part.
Are you,
so you'll tell me, do you tell me at the end here,
if I get to do it at some point or?
I'm willing to tell you now that you won't be doing the show.
Okay.
And it's not,
it's certainly not personal and it's actually,
you're so good at what you do and what you do is such a good fit somewhere
else that I'd be stealing from their audience by having you on this show.
Okay.
What we do on this show is very different which is we talk
about other podcasts which we did do
we did
yeah
so
you were saying you had to
see a movie
yeah I gotta get out of here
which one
wouldn't you like to fucking know you piece of shit a movie. Yeah, I gotta get out of here. Which one?
Wouldn't you like to fucking know, you piece of shit?
You are never gonna know
what movie I saw. I'm not gonna
tweet about it. I'm not gonna even talk
about it with the people that I go see it with.
Because I don't want you to ever know.
The big group?
I'm not even gonna tell you what area
of town. Oh, wow. And not the
size of the group either. But it's not in Culver City,
you piece of shit.
Don't follow me out to Culver City
because that is where it is.
Okay? Yeah.
I don't know which way is up anymore.
Fucking invisible man, you piece of shit.
That's what I'm seeing. Okay.
See, I had you believe that I wasn't going to tell you, and you're
like, fuck, and then I told you, and you're like, fuck.
You know I don't got the stones to follow you to Invisible Man.
Well, I feel like a real-
Do you want to come?

And somebody said, oh, if you've seen the trailer, which looks fucking rad.
Yeah.
They said, oh, there's so much stuff that's so great that's not in the trailer.
Oh.
Yeah, that's a bummer when all this stuff's laid out in the trailer.
You go and the three best parts were in the trailer, and you're sort of waiting for,
well, at least the trailer part's coming up at some point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm very excited.
But yeah, I heard it's really good.
Yeah.
We do have someone else coming.
I mean, I just got to say it.
We do have someone else.
They'll be great. I mean, like, I just got to say it. We do have someone else. They'll be great.
I wish you that.
It's not like we do this with everyone, obviously.
So it's like, we'll see if that one works.
If that works out, you know, because not everyone does.
They don't all work.
You're in great company.
I mean, Paul Bettany, you know.
