Starting point is 00:10:00 You aren't in Katona. Are you in Katona? I don't want to say where I am, but. Very close, very close but Very close very close Every Sunday at a bagel shop Oh, come on help me out The guy we did Thanksgiving I think right cop face Cop used to be fat, Louis CK's house. Lou.
Starting point is 00:10:27 My boy Lou. Lou, Louie. Lou. Bobby, do you remember me? Yeah, man. See that? Wow. Mother Mary, see?
Starting point is 00:10:35 Let's stop for a second. Yeah, man, I auditioned for you. The good guess. I did. That's a good guess. I auditioned for you, I did not get the part though. Yeah, you did. That's why you were on Nurse Jackie.
Starting point is 00:10:47 Yeah, I'm kidding. Listen, the thing was, wow, this really slapped back at my face. I literally told him, I was like, don't worry, you're not going to remember him. He directed you. But you guys took a big vacation down to Venice with him. You remember me in Nurse Jackie though. Yeah, totally. That's why we're here.
Starting point is 00:11:05 First of all, I was so excited. I'm a big Skanks fan. Skanks first. I was so excited to get on that show. It was like a hit show. So excited. So excited to work with you. But I know you from The Sopranos.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And then you popped out of the car or whatever, and you weren't Camilo Soprano. You walked out, you were like a movie star. Like you came out in jeans. I was like, oh my God, she's so hot. Like, like. What car are you talking about? You came out of your car.
Starting point is 00:11:39 The car, they take you from the thing to the thing, to the set. When did, oh, to the set. I was just like a cop. I had the belt on. I got you, I got you, I got you. I looked like an asshole. I was, oh to the set. I was just like a cop, I had the belt on. I got you, I got you, I got you. I looked like an asshole, I was just walking right by you. She was getting concerned that you were just like,
Starting point is 00:11:49 follow her around. I saw you get out of the car the other day by the mall. You looked a little frazzled. I kept the cocksuit and I follow you around. That's great. That's my other line. But the movie, I tell you what, the movie was, the first 25 minutes, I had a lot of anxiety.
Starting point is 00:12:09 It made me want to call my mom. Oh, mission accomplished. It was, I mean it really, the amount, I feel like they don't make movies like this anymore. They don't put the money into these movies anymore. And these are the movies that you watch and you relate to. And all of a sudden it makes you think of your own life, your own family, because look,
Starting point is 00:12:29 I grew up with 13 people in a house, a three-bedroom. And everybody was there, every holiday. And now I'm going through with my mom, where she wanted that life for her. And it didn't work out. It didn't happen. You know, I moved away, I went to New York, my sister and her had some kidney stuff and she went a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:51 And then my stepdad, like her life that she thought and she feels like she's holding all this thing together and she has to call me, call your sister and make sure, and then call them and it's like, Ma, let go. We're all right. Everybody's doing their lives. We're gonna go through our shit no matter what you do. And this movie, I mean, and it takes a turn.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I don't wanna ruin it for everybody. But there is a turn in this movie where all of us. Bruce Willis was dead the whole time? Ha ha ha ha! Spoiler alert. Ha ha ha ha! It's close. Is it a little Chameleon twist on it? It's very close.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Well, no, it's just, I thought it was going one way, and your relationship wound up going another way. And I, it was, it was, there's a lot going on in this movie. There's a lot of relationships going on, and there's a lot going on in this movie. There's a lot of relationships going on and there's a lot of real tragic, not like tragedies, but you know, and your mother in the movie is, I love her. She's amazing.
Starting point is 00:13:54 She's in Iberland, yeah. Ridiculous. It's crazy good. From the opening scene that she comes in, she is just amazing. If you could remind Edie who plays her again. She's a memory. But they don't, like I said, they don't make these movies
Starting point is 00:14:09 anymore where the whole cast is actually a great, like, people you know that are great actors. Oh, that's great. I mean, that is the whole reason I wanted to do it is because so many amazing people signed on, and it's not, like, a plot-driven movie, and it's just about people and families and parents and kids and I don't know it's the stuff that my real life is about and it's the stuff that really interests me and I'm glad to hear it interested you. Do you prefer darker things or it goes back and forth?
Starting point is 00:14:38 I don't really know people keep asking me that so I must you know I read something and if it if I'm moved by it, I'll do it. And it seems most of the stuff I'm moved by has a little bit of darkness in it. I wanted to ask, it looks like, is one of the only people you've played that's an actual person who lived at Hillary Clinton? Oh yeah, someone else years ago, but nobody knows. Is nerve-racking when they're like alive and can critique it themselves somebody
Starting point is 00:15:10 Wikipedia before the show Who brings up the Hillary Clare I watch all of the effects the American it was American crime story That's right. The OJ one. They did the impeachment one, Right, yeah, it was very, very, very nerve wracking. Yeah, I mean, you know, because also it's not like Clive Owen played Bill Clinton, and when I met him the first day, he's like, we don't have to worry, nobody knows who these people are.
Starting point is 00:15:35 What? What? What? He was being sarcastic. Oh, I was gonna say. I mean, if it was, it'd be a different thing if people didn't know who they were, and it's nerve wracking, because people are like, shouldn't look like that, shouldn't sound like that, and that was, it'd be a different thing if people didn't know who they were. And it's nerve-racking, because people are like,
Starting point is 00:15:45 she doesn't look like that, she doesn't sound like that. And that's, I'm not a mimic, you know, so I'm not, it was a whole different kind of job. Do you have to keep in your head that, or out of your head, rather, that's like, she can watch this and be like, that's not who I do. I know, I had to put that aside. I just do what I do every time.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Now, do you know her? I do not. You don't, she's up by where- I do every time. Now do you know her? I do not. You don't, she's up by where? I do know that. Yeah. I have yet to run into her at the shopping stop. I'm trying to. Oh, Bobby, have you made it weird with her yet?
Starting point is 00:16:12 No. No, we walked by each other one time in 87. Tell you what, I'm making it weird with Ryan Reynolds. I'm running to him, I'm making it real weird. I'm just gonna hold him. Yeah, he's up there. He's up there. And I hear, oh, I shouldn't say this yet, I'll tell you hold him. Yeah, he's up there. He's up there. And I hear, oh I shouldn't say this yet,
Starting point is 00:16:25 I'll tell you after. But, you know all those like political things that you get on your phone, like hi, it's Kamala. Yesterday I spoke on the something, whatever. While I was shooting Impeachment, I got a thing saying, hey, idiot, it's Hillary. And I was like, oh, I know, she found out and she had words to say about it. Hey bitch, I don't sound like that. Yo, I'm not I was like Found out and she had words to say hey bitch
Starting point is 00:16:51 That's how you sound miss Falco And in the in the movie, Michael Rapaport was great in it too. It was a weird role for him, because he's usually loud, crazy. It's so funny, everybody keeps saying that. I know Michael from a million years ago, and he was like this young kid in a very little indie film. Everybody knows him now as this loud guy,
Starting point is 00:17:24 and I don't really know that Michael that well. Well, it was weird to like, you cast guy, and I don't really know that Michael. Well, it was weird to like, you cast him, but he's very vulnerable in this movie. He's not the Michael Rapoport that usually is in movies. He's very vulnerable and he, you know, I kind of felt real bad for him. Yeah, I think he can be really good.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Really very endearing. Yeah, was it hard to do any of these scenes? Like... I don't know now If you're if you're fishing my fishing maybe I'm fishing I like fishing I'm an angler He wants to tell him how great his performance was and what a revelation it was Was not officer number two I had a name I was. As officer number two. I was not officer number two, I had a name. I was Fat Guy once.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Okay, were you really? Yeah, it said it on the thing, Fat Guy. No, no it didn't really. Yeah, this was back before they got politically correct. When you had to go through Mike, John, Frank, Fat Guy. And then you slowly pull it out and you sit next to the other fat guys in the audition room. You know, speaking of Lou, our boy Lou.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Yeah. I was in a couple episodes of Louie. Were you? And when they, the first time they cast me in something, they go, it was before the pilot. And I got a call from the casting lady and they were like, hey, Louie wants you to Play this part this like small part in the in the pile
Starting point is 00:18:49 Would you mind doing it come in and he goes he wrote the part for you? Oh, no, they said, you know this story and I and I was like wow and I was this is years ago now So I was pretty excited. I was like wow, I got I don't do audition for it They know they just want you to do the part of your for you get reiterating that and then when they send me the size it was like you know trucker guy fat greasy piece a shit scuz of the week
Starting point is 00:19:16 that i was like what and then the first thing on set money to use jay jay's i swear to you i did not write this role for you we tried to get some people were people who weren't getting the line, so I thought you would just be able to do the line. I'm like, good back, fettle, but still. Yeah. That set was whack,
Starting point is 00:19:31 because they didn't have makeup the first year. You showed up in your own clothes. On Louis? Yeah. Really? They finally got makeup, and I went, and he wrote this weird scene where I was in kabuki makeup. So I had to go in, they put me in kabuki makeup,
Starting point is 00:19:45 and then they went for lunch. And there was no, there's no holding, there's no place to go. So I had to walk around the West Village in kabuki makeup. Nobody said a thing. No. You shoulda hung a cracky. I'm walking by a restaurant to go for lunch.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Guess who walks out? Tom Hanks and Ed Burns and literally bump into me and they're like what the fuck are you doing should have banged the gong and turned around who the hell is that working for my friend Lou so is this movie coming out in theaters is going streaming on the sixth on the sixth yes but it's streaming after that, same time. Three weeks after that, we started streaming. You got a big weekend.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Also, Wiseguy, David Chase and the Sopranos coming to HBO Max September 7th. Is that documentary style? Oh, is that really when it's happening? I should have known that. And David Chase's. I know. Thinking?
Starting point is 00:20:41 What? That would make me feel better. I know, that's why I was kidding about it. It's a great documentary, it's pretty intense. And you've done law and order stuff, so you've worked with Dick Wolf also. I have. The two most famous names that happen at the end of a show.
Starting point is 00:20:56 That's why whenever I watch a law and order SVA, at the end, when the last scene comes and there's a fade, you go, Dick Wolf. That's always the first name. Those two, I mean, geniuses in their lane. Yeah, oh, totally, totally. Law and Order was great, because you just, you filmed it here,
Starting point is 00:21:09 or down at Chelsea Piers. That's right. And I like that because as an actor, not a, you know, successful like you, but you would, when you would go in for auditions for guys like you, it would, you just go in, and then five minutes later, you got the part. And then you just, all right.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Yeah, there's not time. There's no time. There's no time, because they're shooting like what, 22 episodes, 23 episodes, and they're like, let's go. But they were great, they were great. Is it by design or is it sheer luck that so many of, especially the episodics you've done have been New York based, if you're a New York girl.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Pure luck. Really? Yeah. That's awesome. I mean, I would have said that I wasn't gonna go to LA to do stuff because I'm lazy, but it just so happens that you know I've been lucky to have a lot of stuff shoot here. And then what is it Tommy that we did? Yeah. That was supposed to be in LA, didn't go very long, but it was supposed to be in LA and we shot it here. We just had two like
Starting point is 00:22:02 palm trees in the back of a truck and we just stuck them outside every location, then we put it back in, go to the deli, put them in front of the deli. And we did New York for LA and it kind of worked. I was sort of impressed. We felt it all. That is impressive. That's awesome that you get to shoot here, this movie, because you went home every night.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah, oh, it makes a big difference. Yeah, absolutely, right? It's like a regular work week. Yeah. So this is the second time you've guys worked together. Or is this the, you've worked together before? Third? Third time, yeah. I, absolutely right. It's like a regular work week. Yeah, so this is the second time you've guys worked Oh, it's just the you worked together before third. I don't know What is I was asking him? Tommy oh Tommy. That's right
Starting point is 00:22:33 Three times. Yeah, she thinks I did the Sopranos, which I keep saying like yeah, sure I did I'm not kidding. I really don't know anything about it. Yeah, sure. I thought I knew him from Sopranos I thought he played my son. I have no idea. Well, those shows. You thought he was... That you have to deal with, too. I did only, I did two seasons of an episodic thing, and it's amazing how many different
Starting point is 00:22:53 directors, and that is the rest of your life. Like, hey, remember I directed you that one thing that one time 15 years ago? Damn it, I don't at all. Directing episodic, I don't know how much you guys actually get to put your stamp on this stuff anyway. It's kind of, it's already a thing that's moving onto itself, so you don't get to stand out a whole lot. I kind of get to walk in and try a little something and then be like, this is great, right guys?
Starting point is 00:23:17 Everybody having fun? All right, pack it all up, let's go. And they're like, no, we don't have money for that. You can't use a crane. Turned everybody like, do they hate me? Because I'll do something different. On Oz, was it weird in craft services to see guys who just had to do an aggressive sexual assault
Starting point is 00:23:31 scene together? They didn't have to sit there together? These were actors. And a lot of these guys were so not tough, like so not tough. So they'd yell cut. I remember one time they're doing something in the in the common room where we have the yell cut and a guy like a milli went up like this and did a did like a pirouette like a ballet pirouette. I just and the the cement was spray painted
Starting point is 00:23:58 styrofoam so you can actually like put your finger put your finger into the walls of it. You know it was pretend. The whole thing was pretend. But it looks so good when it comes out. I'm glad. Also, what a launch. That was a big launch for people too. Chris Maloney. Right, Chris Maloney.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And then what's, why am I drawing a blank on Whiplash? Yeah, J.K. Simmons. J.K. Simmons. I mean, amazing, yeah. He's like a real, he's a real actor. I know, and he like a very convincing Nazi, and then he's been such like the opposite of that in so many movies that it's like a.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I mean, he's bald and white. So he'll never work again is what you're saying. Bobby. I'm just saying. I'm sorry, J.K. Simmons wasn't Fat Cop Four. Apologies. Sincere, sincere apologies. We just had Rob Eiler in here a couple weeks ago. You did? Yeah, what a sweet guy. I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a
Starting point is 00:24:46 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit
Starting point is 00:24:54 of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit
Starting point is 00:25:02 of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit like a motherly concern just for someone you have to be around like that so much? Totally, totally. When we did the, when they premiered that documentary about David Chase, the kids were there, both Robert and Jamie Lynn, and everyone went around had to say a little something, and as those guys went around, I had this like welling up
Starting point is 00:25:19 of like, my kids turned out so great, like they were smart and well-spoken. I was like overcome with pride. And then I had to remind myself that they're not actually my children, but that stuff doesn't go away. For 10 years, I watched these kids grow up. It's freaky. Now you have tension with their actual parents?
Starting point is 00:25:38 I talked to Robert. He's going to go to Iowa State. He's like 40 something. No, is he 40? No, I think 30s. Or maybe he might be closer to 40. Maybe Jamie Lynn is like 40, early 40s. Yeah, she's a...
Starting point is 00:25:52 That's insane. Crazy. Yeah. That time flies. Older than I was when I started shooting the show. Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Jesus, that's great. Kids, right? Huh? Bobby's only got... You have kids. I do. I sent my kids today to sixth grade in a new school up there. And I was very emotional. And my wife, the cold dragon that she is,
Starting point is 00:26:14 she's like, he's right here. I'm like, yeah, but it's sixth grade. And when I was in sixth grade, that's when all the trouble started. And she was like, he's in, he's fine. You lived in the ghetto in Boston. I hope Chelsea Clinton and Ryan Reynolds son beat the shit out of him in school.
Starting point is 00:26:34 I hope so too so I can meet them. Sir, first of all, it's an honor and a pleasure, but can you kill your son to stop eating the shit out of my son? I wouldn't even do that. Honor and a pleasure. My kid can be a pain in the ass sometimes, so I get kill your son to stop eating the shit out of my son? Honor and a pleasure. My kid can be a pain in the ass sometime, so I get it, I'm gonna kick the shit out when I get home to fuck it with your kids.
Starting point is 00:26:50 How dare he? You just got beat up by Deadpool's son. You fool. And is Blake Lively makes those drinks that are all around that area now, they're called like Buzzy Betty or something? I don't know. Company, anyway, they're everywhere.
Starting point is 00:27:05 They're in all the little cafes and stuff all around Cotone and Bedford and Pound Ridge. Well, I feel uncomfortable being up there because it's like a little vacation town. It's like, you know what I mean? You're a Boston garbage. Yeah, I'm used to like a bodega. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:22 And then I'm up there today. Can I get one of those little, what is it called? The Queen La La Si? Some fucking pastry I couldn't pronounce. And the guy just went, one of those? I was like, yeah, one of those. I'll take one of those. Where's Bobby?
Starting point is 00:27:34 He's pissed on the wall by the cafe. I haven't been, I've been up there, literally my first night there was last, a couple weeks ago, but we're up there now. Oh my gosh. And we dropped him off and went down to the little town and tried to fit in. I have to get more khaki.
Starting point is 00:27:49 I have to get more khaki and more earth tones than, because everybody dresses, every dude that walked in had a brown leather belt with a tucked in shirt and some... Maybe some slide on shoes with no socks. But that is gonna smell bad. But the daytime look is killer. Yeah, I walked in like this.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I had a hoodie with hair on it. That's great. Yeah, my wife had her hair up with her roots coming out. We both looked like we were just passing through town. There goes the neighborhood. You can say things like, hey, do you guys hear Christopher Cross is coming around this summer? A bunch of nautical, fun, upstate shit. Hey, you guys know Gordon Lightfoot?
Starting point is 00:28:33 Great hardware store though, I'm just saying. In Katona. It's one of the old. The dialogues and something or other with the thing that brings the stuff around. Yeah, it has the wires, because back in the day, you'd get something, they'd get a receipt
Starting point is 00:28:45 and throw the receipt to the register from wherever it was. And the reason why I went up there in the first place, my father, God rest his soul, was like, he was into hardware stuff, and he was like, you gotta go check out this hardware store in Katona, it's one of the oldest in the, so we actually went up there,
Starting point is 00:29:00 and we were like, this is the town. This is the town. And then 15 years later, I finally got enough residuals from Nurse Jackie to make it up there. Thank God for SAG. I remember you said that. I remember you said that right when you made closing,
Starting point is 00:29:16 like, thank God, Nurse Jackie. Thank you very much for casting me, my friend. You're welcome, fat three. I was around. I was around for this movie, by the way. You know Ross Meyerson was one of our producers. I think he brought you in for that cast. Yeah, I love Ross.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Ross is a great guy. Good fake. That was good. Is that good? Is that great? Ross is the best. There was one other time that I met Bobby. It was when I was, Andrew Schultz brought me
Starting point is 00:29:46 to the cellar to talk about shooting his first special before Andrew Schultz was Andrew Schultz. And Bobby was over at the table. And Andrew says, he's talking to me about directing this special that never ended up going out. He ended up chopping it up and releasing it on YouTube Bites. Bobby sends over two drinks to us. He's like, hey, yeah, remember me from Nurse Jackie?
Starting point is 00:30:08 See you again. And then he was like, he just tried to cuck you, I think. Is that why you're not on the Schultz This Life Tour? Wow, you remember everything, unlike her. That's hilarious. Remember one time you were a dick? Oh, there was one time when you were a dick. I've been listening to Bobby on YKWD for a very long time.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Hell yeah. You know what did? Yeah, I remember Shulte, when I first did, I did a pilot with Shulte before he was anything. Before I even did stand up. The Bronx warrants? Bronx warrants, exactly. And he had to be naked.
Starting point is 00:30:46 What? He, it was a scene where I was chasing this criminal down the street naked. And he had to be naked and he had to put one of those socks on. But he was just hanging out in it. With Bronx warrants, there's a Serpico. Serpico, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah, Jim Serpico, apostle. I mean the pilot of Rescue Me, I'm pretty sure. There's a, you know, screaming naked man a screaming naked man that's rescued from a fire. Well they had to get me to chase him down the street and the way they, it really pissed me off. So they had one of those camera rigs where the camera's on the wheels and they're pushing the guy. So they yell action, I run, chase him,
Starting point is 00:31:21 and we go down the block in Queens and on the back of the Camera was a stick with a donut on it. Oh my gosh, so I'm running. There's just this bouncing donut I was like go fuck yourself Once I took the donut and took a bite I've gone away from just one thing. I wasn't able to do thank God, so I would have said no but uh For Louie, I think it was season three, he asked me to do something. He goes, hey, I need somebody. Would you mind, we're looking for like a big guy to be running in his underwear through a storm. And I was like, I couldn't
Starting point is 00:31:54 do it, thank God. But I was like, thank God I can't do it. I'm like, no, dude, please don't make me be that guy. I did a commercial years ago. they goes the only commercial I ever Booked or worked ever and they go it's for halls Methalyptus drops and they go The idea is you're a father you're feeling sick and then your kid, you know It's supposed to go to a football game your kids like come on dad you take the halls You know the steam goes over the screen then you're at the game and or it's a father and his kids I'm good. I'm only at the game. I'm shirtless, painted, completely green,
Starting point is 00:32:30 they left an S on my chest in my own skin color. Should've been an F. So I'm so humiliated, I just feel awful, I'm insecure and I'm fat and painted green with this S on my chest. It's summertime, it's playing for winter though. So I'm trying to painted green with this s in my chest and it's summertime. It's playing for winter though. So I'm trying to bright side it and go, well, at least I'm the one guy who's not like sweltering
Starting point is 00:32:51 all day, like wearing winter clothes out in this thing. And uh, and I went to, and everyone was telling me all day, like, this is a campaign that's like it goes. It goes, like I made 50,000 last year from just this campaign and everything. It never came out. It never ever came out, the commercial. I got $300 and when I went back and walked across Columbia University
Starting point is 00:33:13 to go to their showers to rinse it off, I had a almost sun poisoning S in my chest. I was sitting out there all day. Been 300 bucks. Fuck you, Halls. That's why I'm an affron man, eh? I don't know why, as with fat dudes, they always want us with our shirts off.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Because it's hilarious, I understand it. That's what's funny. I just don't like doing it. It's Chris Farley's fault. When I did Marin, I actually asked him, I was like, hey, guys, do I have to take my shirt off at the end of the scene? I was supposed to be angry and take my shirt off
Starting point is 00:33:47 and walk down the street just shirtless. I was like, can I just wear a wife beater or something? I don't really wanna be shirtless. I was really overweight at the time. And they went and had some production meeting and they came back, they're like, yeah, we need your shirt off. I was like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:03 It's also tighty whities. Nobody wears tighty whities. It's only funny though, to see a guy rocking around with tighty whities that just doesn't happen. It's also funny when people- I wear tighty whities by the way. So whatever. Oh, good lord.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Good lord, Bobby, come on. No, they're white. Oh my lord, Bobby. It keeps me on my toes. What are you, my pop-up? That's crazy. That's absolutely crazy. My pop-up, is there anything. That's absolutely crazy. My pop-up, was there anything, somebody?

Starting point is 00:34:35 I mean, I know he's got the great podcast. Yeah, he had a show back in the day. I didn't know, and then he did that other stuff. A bunch of stuff. With the boxing ladies. Was there anything that you, someone asked you to do and you were like, I ain't doing it?
Starting point is 00:34:47 No. No? No, I don't think so. I'm trying to think, yeah, a million things. You know, just mostly because I don't have any money. That's basically what it came down to. Like the little teeny indie movies, like a lot of people, like they send me a script
Starting point is 00:35:01 and I kind of like it and they're like, well, we have no money, we have no cast, we have no directors, but we want to attach you to it and hopefully that will help bring people in or whatever and I've stopped saying yes to those because then so many of them don't come to be and it started to hurt my feelings.
Starting point is 00:35:15 I usually try to. Yeah, they're like, we're banking it all on your name. That's right, didn't work. No one cares. Yeah, next. That's called my weekends, every weekend at a comedy club. Oh! You're not wrong, that is the feeling every weekend.

Starting point is 00:35:44 No. Never? No. Never? No. Wow. No. But you know, also I'd read the script and then I just forgot about them. So maybe it did. I don't remember.
