Casey had an exchange of words with the gunman
that she now regrets.
I said to him, I'm like like that looks kind of like a fake gun
He's like you want to know how real it is and somebody just kind of stacked me in the forehead
On this episode of the commercial break
And I'm like, oh really it's kind of like the hood. And I'm like, oh really? It's kind of like the hood. I felt no danger whatsoever. None. Zero danger whatsoever.
They're tripping on that stuff.
Yeah, it's like...
You know what? I will say I did get politely mugged while I was in London.
Politely mugged.
Do you mind if I borrow your wallet?
I got the most polite mugging I think I've ever
had.
The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Green. This is my dear friend and the ET of this stupid podcast, Kristen Joy Hoadley.
Best to you, Chrissy.
Phone home.
Best to you.
Best to you out there in the podcast universe.
She's character acting, kids.
Character acting.
I do what I can.
Oh my gosh.
TCB Infomercial Day with Mr. Henry Hall and Mr. Daniel Thrasher coming out.
Brand new television show called Dinner with Parents.
They are the two preeminent stars of the show and we're super grateful to have them on.
Henry Hall, of course, the child of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Brad Hall, the famous comedy
writer Brad Hall, and his, you know, his mom is Julia Louis-Dreyfus,
you might have heard of her.
She's an up and coming actress.
Yep, she's gonna make it for herself.
She is gonna make it for herself, I feel it.
What is going on with this microphone?
It's like, it just magically just cuts out
any time that I get my arms around it.
What's going on?
Hey, hey.
You're very expressive.
Settle down there, settle down, microphone.
It works.
I swear to God.
I'll be in here doing commercials or edits or cuts
or whatever.
It'll work for hours and hours on end.
The second I press record, it starts acting like a fool.
Fucker.
I mean, I don't know what to say.
Well, I wish you had something to say.
This is a podcast.
Well, speaking of people making a name for themselves,
I think Henry is well on his way too.
Yeah, Henry's doing well for himself.
His first big television gig is with Amazon Freevy and of course Dinner with Parents,
which Chrissy and I have had a chance to get a screener of.
It is a funny show.
We encourage you to go watch it.
We'll put links down in the show notes as we always do.
But if you have Amazon Prime, which everybody does, go to Amazon Prime,
type in dinner with parents, up it will come.
And then Daniel Thrasher is no shrinking violet himself.
No, I was gonna say he's made a name for himself.
He has made a name for himself.
I mean, Henry too, he was in actually one
of my favorite shows, which was White House Plumbers.
I'd like to ask him about that.
Because the White House Plumbers was a really,
really great television show by HBO around the Watergate.
The two guys who essentially orchestrated Watergate, and it's a comedy,
and it's really fun, like a dark comedy.
It's really fucking funny. You should go watch it.
And so I'll ask him about, he was in one episode, so I'll ask him about that.
And then Daniel Thrasher is a YouTube sensation.
I think he might own YouTube.
I know.
Yeah. He's got like 5.71 million followers on YouTube,
4.71 million followers on TikTok.
I mean, just share a little bit, Daniel.
Will you, for God's sakes,
how do, can we just glom on to some of your,
can't we get like one seventh, one 10th, one 13th
of your followers just to jump onto our social media
and I would be a happy clam.
Do you know what I'm saying?
I do. I didn't know what you're saying.
Daniel's young, he's been doing it for a long time, he's really good at it, his channel's really funny,
so it's all the things that we haven't done.
We are not.
It's all the things that we're not.
Hey, before we get to Daniel and...
TCB minus.
TCB minus. All your favorite shows, somewhere else.
TCB minus. None of your favorite shows somewhere else. TCB Minus.
None of your favorite comedies or documentaries anywhere on the platform, but hey, $5.99 a
month anyway.
Two things I wanted to mention.
First is, if you are interested and if you think you might be in the Florida area anytime
in the next year, we'd love to hear it if you would like to come see live shows of ours. That's where we're planning on doing
our first shows is in Florida. So if you're in Florida and you'd like to see TCB live,
please just text us and let us know because we want to get some interest. We want to gauge
interest. We want to test the waters before we actually jump in. Yeah. I don't want to
like, you know, although we talked to no one now, it seems
like, what do you mean? Well, you know, there's no one here in the studio with no, there's
no one here now. So, you know, getting on stage is going to be a wholly different situation.
But if there's no one there, well, that's true. If there's no one there, it'll just
be like doing another episode of the commercial break. Only we'll have some very pissed off promoters. Right.
You'll never work again in this town, Greiner, only.
Later!
Ah, yeah, whatever.
We've heard that a lot.
What's new?
Stand in line.
The party's gonna keep going.
Yeah, that's right.
But before we go booking out where the Dolphins play, what do we like to know?
The stadium.
Stadium, stadium tour.
You know that pod, I might give you somebody else's podcast, we'll do that on a different
show.
But that's number one.
Number two is what I wanted to mention is, a couple weeks ago we were talking about Beanie
Babies and we were so floored by how much those Beanie Babies are still worth to this
day.
We were going in to try and make fun of people who thought Beanie Babies were going to have
some value later on down the road to find out halfway through the episode that Beanie
Babies are more popular and more expensive than they have ever been.
Their value has skyrocketed.
And some of those Beanie Babies are worth $50,000, even unboxed. 50 fucking grand.
It's insane. And so I got on the phone with my dad.
You did.
Everybody needs to be asking their parents where those things are.
If you haven't asked your parents, you're a fool. Where are those Beanie Babies? How do I get a hold
of them? Can I have them back? Or can I have them period? Don't let on that there's something going
on with your parents. Just say, I want to take some junk off your hands. I've got kids. Or you
just tell your dad, I'm thinking about having more children. And I need those beanie babies,
because I need some toys for the kids. Don't let on that they're worth a whole lot of money,
because then you might get into a fight with your parents. But I want to know
from my father, like, do you have any toys, quote unquote, toys, from the kids? You know
what I do think? I do think my father has some beanie babies up at his house. I do think
he's got some beanie babies, and I am going to steal them from his house. Not ones that
he bought for me, but ones that he's bought for the grandchildren. They're like the grandpa house toys, you know what I'm saying? They stay
there. They're only supposed to stay there. We don't take them home. As a matter of fact,
I begged the children not to take any toys home because we don't need another fucking
toy in this house. But this time I'm going to just put them in my backpack and head out
the house.
Yeah, just swipe a couple.
Why not?
They're small anyways.
My dad doesn't need money. He's got, doesn't he have money? I think he has money. Does he have money?
I don't know, you know better than I do.
I think my dad's got some money. He doesn't need those beanie babies. Me, however, I am a struggling podcaster. When I say struggling is a capital S. Struggling.
But those beanie babies are insanely high in value right now. Insanely high.
Yeah, the older ones, the original ones.
Yes, and they're being traded and people are buying them.
And it goes on the backs of an interesting story I read probably six months ago,
how millionaires and billionaires are now putting a lot of their wealth into collectibles.
All kind of collectibles, from Pokemon cards to fine art, you know, to Van
Gos, they are dumping their money into hard assets like art and collectibles because the
collectibles market, especially fine art, is going nuts right now.
Oh, especially art.
It's raising in value.
Yeah.
And, you know, there's some tax benefits.
You remember that movie, the movie we were asking
Wendy about whether or not Wendy had seen any of the-
Oh, yeah, yeah. It was-
Inception.
Christopher Nolan.
Christopher Nolan movies, Inception, his most recent one, which I can't remember the name of.
But the one about, did you see the movie? The one where everything's traveling backwards?
No, I didn't see that.
Okay. There's a big part of the movie
that takes place in this, I forget what they call it,
but it's like a, they call it like an art port.
It's a safe harbor where you can't get taxed
and there are no local laws and they build them
at airports and they're for billionaires
to store their wealth.
You know what I'm talking about?
I've read about that.
They're like these big storage containers.
Yes, and some of them have the most high tech security
you've ever heard of in your life.
They are basically bulletproof, bombproof,
fireproof, anything proof.
And Christopher Nolan does a great job
of telling you why that is not exactly true.
I won't ruin the movie for you,
but a big part of the action scenes take place in one of these safe havens for art. But they're
real and they really happen and people are really putting billions of dollars worth of
fine art and collectibles into these safe havens that are highly securitized, right?
I think that's where I'm going to put my beanie babies. Can you imagine showing up to one of those places in like your private jet and just walking
out with an old rusty backpack full of beanie babies that are all cut up and shrewd up?
I like it.
So I need your identification card, your fingerprints, your eyeball scan, a little bit of your saliva
and a sperm donation to make sure you are in fact
Brian Green.
And what are we be storing today?
Princess Di Beanie Baby.
Snort, sniff, snuckle, and snuggle.
The Beanie Babies.
The original nine.
The original seven.
If you have Beanie Babies out there,
I know that this is gonna reach somebody. I know that this is going to reach somebody. I know
that this podcast doesn't reach a lot of people, but it's going to reach somebody who's got
Beanie Babies somewhere who had no fucking clue. They had no fucking clue. They're going
to go down in their basement. They're going to dust off that old bin or whatever, and
they're going to be like, holy shit, I got $200,000 worth of Beanie Babies in here.
The guy on the show said it was for your retirement and no joke.
No joke.
It's true.
He was selling a whole 94 of them for $2,000 and Chrissy and I could not stop laughing
at how expensive this guy thought, you know, Beanie Babies were going to become.
And he said, this is the new retirement.
This is where you should be putting your retirement funds.
So Chrissy and I estimated on the low end that what he was selling, those 94 Beanie Babies were worth over a million dollars in today's
value. In fucking credible.
I just want one.
I know, I just want one.
I think now we should buy some NFTs.
Yeah, I'm thinking NFTs. I'm thinking we get, I don't know, $10,000 together
from who or where, I don't know how, I don't know where.
I don't know where.
We'll get $10,000 together
and we'll just go buy a bunch of $1 NFTs.
Sit on them for 40 to 50 years
and then only check them 40 to 50 years from now
and see how much they're worth.
0.0.
We'll ask Henry and Daniel about it.
I wonder if they have any, they're young,
so I don't know if they're into the Beanie Baby thing,
but let's see.
Okay, this is what I wanna do.
I wanna take a short break,
and then I'm gonna bring Daniel and Henry on the show.
What do you think, Chrissy?
I think we should.
Chrissy, what do you think?
Sir?
Sir?
Yeah.
Sir, would you like to take a break
and bring back our guests?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Indeed.
We'll be back after we check our beanie babies for collectible dollar value.
We'll be back.
What?
Oh, hi.
It's Christina again.

I'm going to share that I've been going through a difficult time lately with one of my family
members.
No trauma, no huge drama, just a difficult situation that I'm trying to navigate.
It's times like these when I'm grateful I've got a therapist that I can speak with.
Therapy for me is the release valve.
It's a place I can go and speak to an objective third party about even the smallest of details in my life. I've been using therapy for many
years to help me navigate these difficult situations, but then to also
work on some of the bigger issues we as human beings all experience. And I'd like
to think it's making me a little bit of a better person. If you haven't given
therapy a try, or it's been a while since you've been to therapy, I'd like to
recommend BetterHelp. BetterHelp is designed to be easy, convenient,
and fits your schedule.
It's all online.
All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire
and then you get matched with a licensed therapist
and you can switch therapists at any time for any reason,
no additional cost.
Whether you're trying to work through
some big traumatic event or you're just having trouble
getting through the minutiae of life,
therapy can help.

And we're here with the two gentlemen from the show right now. We're here with Henry
and Daniel. Hello. Hi guys, how are you?
Danielle Pletka Hello. Welcome.
Henry Hey, how's it going?
Daniel Hello.
Jared Sussman It's going good. Congratulations on the show. Are you excited? Are you getting
great feedback? What's the word on the street?
Henry The word on the street is, you know, my aunt Jamie in Virginia is loving it. You know what I'm saying?
My aunt's texting me.
I got my sister messaging me.
Unbelievably, I think your sister's the only person
who listens to the commercial break too.
So we got something in common there.
We both have one viewer.
Yeah.
Big fan.
No, great, great feedback.
People are loving it.
What about you, Henry?
Yeah, my girlfriend who who is Aunt Jamie,
loves it, like Daniel said.
I guess it's better than his sister.
Yeah, she's... We've watched every episode together
and she loves seeing her nephew.
Yeah.
And your neighbor James.
And your neighbor James, the sandwich guy down the street. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they're both, they're both, they're both enjoying it. They're more like, you know,
prestige era, like Breaking Bad This. Why are that? It's like, come on, guys.
Come on, guys. I can't do White House in Glomers. It's definitely, it's exciting to be on a show that's like as open to any person in
terms of potentially enjoying it, I think.
Yeah.
So we've, I've had all sorts of folks chime in and say they're enjoying the show.
You know, I'm a big fan of the first, this is, I don't even want to say a reboot because
what I expected was a reboot, but it wasn't a reboot.
The show lives on its own.
It really does.
And it gives a little bit of homage to Friday Night Dinner, which was a huge hit.
Yeah, the BBC.
Huge hit in the UK.
And I think it's loosely based on that. And there's some similarities and there's some callbacks to some of the stuff that huge hit in the UK. And I think it's loosely based on that. And there's some
similarities and there's some callbacks to some of the stuff that goes on in the show.
Were you, did either of you, were you fans of the show before you got cast in this version?
I know for me, I had to watch the first, you know, I watched a few episodes that I could find on
YouTube. It's kind of hard to see... To piece it together.
...to find the full episodes in the States anyway.
I don't know, Henry, if you struggled finding them.
But I saw like three episodes, and then I was like,
oh, this is great. At first I was like, wow, this is really...
farcical and really fast,
and you kind of have to switch your brain into a different gear
to like catch everything.
Yeah.
That's what I sort of noticed when I was watching it.
I was like, okay, this is like a different kind of show.
But then once I got it, I was like,
oh, this is fricking awesome.
Yeah, it's brilliant.
And you're right.
Yeah, it's gonna be fun to make.
You can rewatch that show multiple times
and still catch little things that you didn't catch.
And there are so many people that are in love
with Friday Night Dinner.
What I loved about your show is that it didn't try
to be Friday Night Dinner part two, right?
It was really something that just, it's funny on its own
and you get into the characters, new, fresh,
and I think in that sense, your director and your writers
really made a good call.
Henry, were you a fan of the first show?
Yeah, I never, you know, I had never seen it before. I heard about our show.
You're auditioning for it. But yeah, I mean, like I'm a huge British comedy person. So I had
seen bits and pieces of it and I actually had the same issue, you know
There's just weird licensing stuff. You can I think you buy the first season on Amazon, but not the second third and fourth
It's like it is kind of right. Yeah, and you know our our show is we've we've taken that like you said
It's kind of it's that it's the most
most most basic
Skeleton of Friday Night Dinner.
Yeah.
And then we just sort of bust a move,
an original move in every other way.
When you guys get on set, are you...
So you play these two brothers that come home for dinner every week
and it follows it along
the week.
So I think in that sense, the premise is loosely based on Friday night dinners, right?
We're coming over for dinner every week.
Do you, and a large amount of the plots revolve around the family getting into hijinks and
the two brothers pranking each other, of which the both of you play.
Do you guys have fun on actual set?
Like are you guys pranking each other of which the both of you play. Do you guys have fun on actual set? Like, are you guys pranking each other on set?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Daniel would, well, you can give more details, Daniel, but he would very frequently, like
right before action was called or just right after, whisper something just so profane into
my, right into my ear.
So like we had many, many moments of prankage
in that side.
Yeah, I think there's the...
Tell it, say it guys.
You can say anything on the show.
Also, the show is called Dinner with the Parents. I don't know if we've said that yet or not, but it's called Dinner with the Parents. Tell it. Say it, guys. You can say anything on this show.
The show is called Dinner with the Parents.
I don't know if we've said that yet or not, but it's called Dinner with the Parents, so
that's the similarity.
And so there's a, so we, and it's on Amazon Free BFYA.
So, so Henry and I, right before we go on, you know, right before they call action, an
example of something that I would constantly do would be, you know, there'd be a boom microphone right here.
And as the boom mic was just sort of,
just right there, right above frame,
I would look at it and I'd look at Henry and be like,
what the fuck is that?
What is that?
Somebody tell me what action, blah, blah, blah, blah.
You know, we'd go right under the line.
And, you know, that's an example.
And I got, you know, and I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and Henry was like, Daniel, and I was like, what? And then
he just tooted a little bit.
And I was like, we're back, baby! We're in here, baby!
It was the only appropriate response.
It was perfect. And he didn't have to do anything. He never has to do anything again. I'm just
like, okay, he wins.
Fart trumps all.
I think so.
Yeah.
Mike drop.
I love it.
I'm up for a good fart joke.
Of course.
I think that's funny.
Of course.
We've talked to other actors and comedians and they've shared with us that sometimes
they get into situations where they get on set and there is no chemistry.
They get on set, they get on stage, they're doing improv, whatever.
And it's just like, there's dead no chemistry between the two of them,
right? It's really hard to make something work. So when I'm watching this show, I'm
imagining that there's a lot of this going on behind the scenes because it just, I don't
know, it seems natural. It seems like you two are brothers, like antagonizing each other
in a way that feels very organic on screen. And so, it shines through on the show.
You guys did a great job. How did you get cast? Daniel, you own YouTube, the research says here,
is that correct? You're owning YouTube now?
Daniel Sussman Yeah, I'm the new CEO of Alphabet. Congrats.
Alphabet, thank you so much.
ThrasherTube.
Yeah, ThrasherTube, yeah.
No, I do okay on YouTube.
Okay, so basically how I got cast was
through legit means I have a manager
and an agent who found this audition. And I think at the time they
had already cast or were heavily considering Michaela Watkins. And, you know, she and I
have similar facial features, I guess. And Dan, and Dan Baketal was like high in the
running. And so they were looking for the brothers and actually,
I don't know if Henry knows this, but initially I had auditioned for, for David.
And then that's right. Yeah. And so it was during my callback for David where Trisham
Shapiro, their director, John Beckerman, the show runner, everybody was there and John,
you know, and, and I, I'm 31 in real life, but
I look like I'm, you know, 25.
You could pull off 19, bro. You're really, you're aging well. Good docs are good genes.
We'll figure it out in People magazine 10 years down the road.
All my Botox is paying off. But no, I, I, you know, and I think they got a sense that
I was playing it a little young, and John asked me,
he was like, are you the younger sibling or the older sibling?
And I said, well, I'm actually the younger sibling.
And John went like this.
He like, his eyebrows.
And he started like, you know, twiddling his fingers together.
And I saw like a vortex.
There was like a spiral vortex happening on the zoom lane
and then you know teleport to I it was the so I yeah I'm on YouTube and stuff. VidCon is like
this big convention for for all the internet people and I was opening for VidCon. I was like
the opening act and nobody else was doing anything all day. So I like it performed for
this crowd of like a thousand people, all this stuff. And a lot of my fans came and
gave me artwork and stuff. And so the next morning at 9 a.m. was my callback to play
Greg. Oh, meanwhile, I had just the night before, you know, like screamed and ran around
on stage and I was exhausted. And so, and so the next day I had, I had my, I had my lines pretty much, pretty much made,
but I had a pretty big monologue I had to do.
And so what I did was I took a screenshot of the monologue on an iPad and I set the
iPad next to my laptop.
And then I, and so I, I love a good, I love a good cheating story.
And so I was, I was doing my, my line and I was talking to everybody on, you know, in the callback
and I was like, you know what, at this point, man, in my career, because I've gotten so
close to so many things and I haven't gotten any of them, I'm just going to tell them that
I'm a big deal.
And I know that sounds dumb, but like, for example, I was like,
can I show you guys like the fan artwork
that they gave me yesterday?
And like the fact that I was like opening this thing.
And so I showed them, I was like,
I was like, this is crazy.
Like, and I was, you know,
it wasn't really like an EgoFlex really,
it was just also like,
we're all working on something really cool,
whether I get this show or not,
like I'm really happy with the life that I have.
Sure.
And so I did the callback and I did my very best.
We met for a whole hour.
I mean, it was the second callback
for a different character to play Greg for a whole hour.
And then at the end of it, I felt really good about it.
And I got a call a few weeks later
while I was at Disneyland and I screamed at Disneyland.
And that was it. I'm already here. Listen, you know, I think you should flex a little bit.
My personal opinion about flexing in whatever way that it is, is that that's how life works.
Sometimes you just have to share with people that I'm, not that I'm a big deal, but that I do have
my own thing going. I am, you know, I do have these cards in my pocket. I can pull them out and without
being braggadocious, which sometimes it can come across as braggadocious, but don't you
have to take every advantage that life gives you? In my opinion, I think that's the, I
think you should.
And Hollywood man, that's sometimes that can be the currency. I don't know.
Yeah. Henry, how did you get cast in the show? Gosh, let's see.
I mean, I had a bit of a roundabout-ish sort of way, or not really.
I mean, honestly, my story's not exactly...
Did you also bring out posters?
That's all I gotta know.
Which one?
The poster. Yeah. I like, I read for the show in spring-ish of 2022, something like that.
Okay.
And didn't hear anything back.
And then months later, got a call back and Proceeded to
Do two or three callbacks over the course of a couple days
Yeah
And then not and I didn't really even know what was what the next step would be
You know at like per call back. I was like, okay
Am I about to get the part or is there another good, you know, whatever are you just torturing me on purpose?
I was just sort of rolling with the punches and then and then I call that I got the part and
I was in a
Michael's you know
Daniel thrashher poster framed.
That's right.
Exactly, that's the place to go.
Yeah, I was getting a birthday,
like this really cool, I'm gonna obviously,
wait, I think it's a poster,
it's a photo of Gene Tierney and Rock Hudson, I think.
I'm fucking up with the guys.
But it's Gene Tierney and Rock Hudson on set.
It's like a, it's like a, it's like a Venture Stilts,
whatever.
From like a Douglas Sturck movie.
And I was getting that framed.
It was something my friend, Hannah, got for me.
And so yeah. So Michael's brings you luck. Michael's brings me and So yeah, Michael brings you luck
Michael's brings me. Yeah
We bring you
You got the part
Apart now go on you guys you guys give them a fart
Michael's you got the part now go on set and give him a fart
Struggling actor listening to this go to Michael right now Michael's right now. Yes
Get yourself some yarn
We shot in London we shot in London
Yeah, is also and not you know, like that's confusing for people.
Did you film on the same set?
Did you film on the same set?
Because the houses, and I know that they have like townhouses in the original, but if you
haven't seen the original, the actual houses look remarkably similar.
I mean, I know they're not exactly, if you get a chance, look through the foot, if you
can find it, if you can buy it from BBC,
if you got a friend you can call. The houses do look remarkably similar. The set pieces look kind
of similar. Not in every single way, but when the opening shot of the houses, I was like,
oh my gosh, are they using the same house from the actual original? So there's a lot of similarities
in the set pieces, I think. And actually, I think that's kind of where the comparison stops,
is like the set pieces are similar and they mentioned Friday night dinner once in the set pieces, I think. And actually, I think that's kind of where the comparison stops, is like the set pieces are similar
and they mentioned Friday night dinner once in the show
and that's it, right?
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you move to London?
Did you move to London?
Yeah, we moved to London and that was,
I guess that's the best part of my getting there.
Amen.
Yeah, what an experience.
They were like, yeah, you got the part, pack up, pack up, bitch.
And we moved to London like eight days later
or whatever the fuck it was, something like that.
It was a really quick turnaround.
Wow.
It was a quick ass turnaround.
Oh yeah, that's like a week.
Yeah, yeah.
So, good math.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Henry, we're in London, it's Matt.
Matt.
They do love saying that, yeah.
They do.
But yeah, so we moved to London and-
For how long?
Shot there.
We were there for four months, four-ish months.
What a dream come true.
What time of year was this in, too?
The worst time.
October.
I was gonna say.
October through-
February. Like early February, yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, I was gonna say. October through like early February.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
Yeah, that's not a great time to be there,
but let's be honest.
I mean, London weather's kind of hit or miss anyway.
The Christmassy stuff.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, we got the Christmassy stuff.
I fucking love, yeah, the Christmas stuff was pretty sweet.
I loved it there.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I lived in New York for like four years,
little more than four years, something like that.
And it's like New York, I love New York.
Like I love, love, love New York, but-
Careful.
London is kind of like New York without the-
The bullshit.
Really horrible stuff of New York.
I remember like being in an elevator going down to like a sub sub underground line in
New York and no sorry in London.
Okay.
And the lift?
Yeah, it was like a big lift.
It was a big freight elevator with and I was in there with like 25 people or
something, you know, people commuting to work and whatever.
And I just remember thinking, like, if this was New York City,
we would all be getting stabbed, right?
Yeah.
It is literally we're just all staying there like that, like everyone's like this.
Very politely. Smiling, that's right.
Smiling, you know, no one's saying fuck you.
Yeah.
You know?
When there's a big podcast conference that happens in London every year.
It's actually just in a couple of weeks.
And so I've been and the hotel was over here and the podcast conference was over there.
And I just decided to walk.
It was like a three mile walk, right?
So it's me and my, our manager and we're, we're walking in that.
We're just taking with the way that the maps go, cause I don't know where it's going.
And we're walking through and we see another podcaster that we know.
And he says, he's British and he says, Hey, listen, you gotta be careful in this neighborhood.
It's kind of like the hood.
And I'm like, oh, really?
It's kind of like the hood?
I felt no danger whatsoever.
None, zero danger whatsoever.
They're tripping on that stuff.
Yeah, it's like. You know what?
I will say, I did get politely mugged
while I was in London.
Politely mugged. Do you mind
if I borrow your wallet?
Yeah.
I got the most polite mugging I think I've ever had when I was, yeah, I didn't tell you
guys, I guess.
Well, this guy was like-
No.
Henry, what?
You got a mug?
Me and my girlfriend at the time were walking out, we were going to the grocery store or
something, we were going to some restaurant, I don't know.
And this gentleman, a little scraggly, walked up and he was like, could you, you know, do
you have a couple pounds?
I'm trying to catch a bus to see my sick mom and that's not what was going on, but it's
fine.
And I was like, oh no.
Dude, what's your problem?
You didn't, he's going to see his sick mom.
I didn't help him.
I was like, no.
You've let the posters go to your head, Daniel.
I got a few pounds.
I was like, no.
I mean, you know, and he was like, he was like,
you know, he's like kind of grumpy about it.
And then he said, he said, yeah, you know, Christmas sucks.
Cause it was right over the Christmas holiday or whatever.
And he was like, Christmas sucks this year, blah, blah, blah.
And it was like, and he goes, he goes, well,
there's an ATM down this way,
let me walk you to the ATM.
Yeah, let me walk you to the ATM, you can pull out money,
and I was like, uh, and I look at my girlfriend at the time,
I was like, you go to the, you go to the store.
You go to the ATM.
No, no, no, no, no, no, I was like,
I was like, you go to the grocery store,
I'll meet you there, I'm gonna walk with this guy.
You know, just, if I'm not there in 20 minutes.
You know, something horrible has happened.
And so I walk with him to the ATM and I'm looking around.
He's like, let's go to this one,
which was like a secluded one by a test. Oh my God.
And I was like, no, I'm not going to do that. I was like, let me, let me, let's go to this one
instead. The one that's like, well lit. Yeah.
In front of everybody. And so we did that and I, and I handed him like 20 pounds and he's like,
oh, thanks so much. I was like, no, no, I think I just got robbed. Okay. So now we know the
difference between
getting robbed in New York and getting robbed in London. In London, they give you a backstory.
At least, at least they're, they've got, they're prepping for it. In New York, they just stab
you and take your money. But in, in London, they're kind enough to give you at least a
little bit of information about why they're robbing you. Hey, listen, my sick mom, and
Christmas sucks. That, that is the most polite robbing I've ever heard of Christmas sucks. Christmas sucks
is a good reason.
I can't believe that is crazy. That's really the lead, Daniel. I've never heard that story.
I should have told you guys. I don't know.
Oh my God.
I was probably just a little embarrassed.
I'm sorry. That's like, that's fucking sucks.
I can see Daniel. Even though it was really polite and kind of awesome
I can see I can see you like laying in the hotel at night debating about whether or not you share this with the rest of the crew
Did I get wrong or did I just get scammed? I'll save that story for later
Right right. Save it for the commercial break. That's that's so crazy. Geez. That's weird, man.
Oh my gosh.
And what did your, because now I have to follow this down the rabbit hole a little bit.
What did your girlfriend say?
How did you explain it to her when you got back to the grocery store and met her?
Were you like, I think I just got politely robbed?
No, she was like, is everything okay?
She was like, is everything okay?
I was like, yeah.
He finally gets to see his mom.
An angel got its wings.
No, I mean, obviously, like, to just to draw us the elephant in the room, it's like, being,
look, being homeless, being, you know, somebody on the streets, it's a horrible thing.
Of course.
I'm literally in London to film a TV show, like, for a major network.
It's like, yeah, man, whatever. I'll give you 20 bucks.
I don't like being forced to do it though. That's the only, that's the only part I didn't
like. You know what I mean? So like being like, let's walk to an ATM and you pull out
money now.
Yeah.
I'm like, Oh God. But you know what? I mean, I had, I have the means or whatever and he
wasn't violent or whatever.
Well, I do like the attitude. I do like the attitude about it. And you know, you're right.
Like.
What are you talking about?
Well, listen, I don't like that it happened.
I just like that.
This is so confusing.
I just like that he has a good attitude about it.
Yeah, I've been mugged in Atlanta
and I'm telling you what.
Okay, here's the interesting thing to me.
And this shows that Daniel's very,
very nice.
He just, the guy didn't, he said, let's go to the ATM or like, there's an ATM down there.
He didn't say you're coming to the ATM with me or like, I am, you know, he didn't, he
kind of asked if you could go to the yeah, basically.
Yeah. Yeah. And you just and then you walk together and you did.
You basically get just gave money to a guy like you.
You were you were this is this counts as a mugging story.
But there's if you wanted it to be,
I just gave a guy money story.
I just gave a guy money story, yeah.
Yeah, I don't see it that way.
He was very tall.
He felt threatened.
He had a backpack, and he was like,
if you stretched out Liam Neeson from Taken,
that's what it was.
I was like, I know that you're technically suggesting we go to an ATM.
I know that I could turn this down,
but I really don't think I should.
Especially because he knew like which grocery store
we were going to based on like where we were walking
or whatever.
So I was like, all right, to protect me and the lady,
like I'm gonna go with, you know, it was freaking weird the lady, like, I'm going to go with, you
know, it's freaking weird.
You were just, you were trying to, you went with your gut and you quickly got away from
it.
I'm not sure by the international laws of thievery that this guy, he suggested you felt
I can't file a report on that.
No, no, no.
What are you going to say?
He asked me to go to the ATM.
That would look so silly.
The cops would be polite and someone's going to give you back the 20 bucks.
Well, not technically a robbery, but here's $20.
Here's 20 pounds.
20 P.
20 Pents.
That's so crazy.
I love it.
Sorry.
I don't love it, but it's a good story.
That's for sure.
You mentioned some other people that you guys work with and I'm curious about the fabulous Miss Carol Kane.
Oh yeah.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's like a living legend.
I know.
She is a living legend.
And you feel it when you're with her for sure.
Oh you do?
She is, for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's like a total iconoclast.
Yeah, and when you're on, is she like just,
I'm just curious about this, like a personal side,
is she like naturally just very, very funny?
Cause she seems like one of those people
that could really make you laugh.
I noticed that, yeah, I mean, you know, we,
I noticed that whenever we were like sitting around
the little cast holding area or whatever, if we all started
doing a bit together, Carol would and correct me if I'm
wrong, Daniel, but I'm pretty sure this is how it would go
down. Like we would all be, you know, doing a bit. Yeah. She
would always get the last word
She she like and but you wouldn't necessarily expect it to be coming She'd be like reading her little book and then she you know before she'd go to stage. She'd be like
You know
And she has like her voice,
which is totally unique to her
and like nothing you've ever heard.
Yeah. It's a cartoon.
It is a cartoon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
And yeah, she was just the greatest Nana of all time.
Yeah, yeah.
Is she really vaping in those scenes
or is that smoke put in there?
I'm just curious.
That's CGI?
That's CGI, but we did have a wape.
No, Daniel?
A wape.
Yeah, we had a wape.
A wape.
Yeah, no, it was a real,
I don't know if it maybe was like,
you know, fake or something,
but there was smoke coming out of it.
But they added the CGI for effect.
But they added, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the huge, when she's blowing clouds.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She's a vape-bro, Nana's a vape-bro for fun.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's like a, she's a 16-year-old in like Flagstaff.
She's wearing just inner ears.
Ripping clouds.
Yeah.
Hey, Henry, you want a purple Nerple?
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
Cotton candy.
This one is great.
I love cotton candy.
Oh my God, that's the best Carol Cade impression I've ever heard.
You got it down.
It's my favorite.
That's really-
Michaela Watkins' impression is legitimately perfect.
Yeah, it's insane.
Daniel's is actually an incredible impressionist.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not saying that.
I'm just saying that. Mikaela Watkins's impression is legitimately perfect. Yeah, it's insane. Not Daniels.
No, no.
Daniels is actually an incredible impressionist.
No, no. Mikaela's-
Just saying.
Mikaela's SNL, man.
Yeah, I love Mikaela too.
She's brilliant. Former Saturday Night Show.
She's scoted.
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
She plays your mom, by the way, for listeners.
Yeah.
I got to tell you why I got you got you on Henry is that I loved the show
White House plumbers. I loved it. Were you in an were you in an episode of that? Who did you play? I sure was
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I played a ballet guy you did. Oh, what a brilliant teller sure
I think not discussed enough in my opinion. I thought it that was a brilliant
I mean, you know anything David Mandel the showrunner of that show touches is gonna be actually. Yeah, I mean, you know, anything David Mandel, the showrunner of that show, touches is gonna be...
Actually, yeah, I'm pretty sure he's a showrunner.
Yeah, showrunner director.
Whoever the show member is.
He's a genius.
Yeah, we miss say things here all the time.
Yeah, don't worry about it.
Our tagline is, you heard it here last, so don't worry.
So don't worry about it.
That's good. I like that.
Yeah, I played a valet.
That was my first proper, actually first or second,
first or second proper scene on a TV show I'd ever done.
And the scene was incredibly, you
know, it's a period pieces, you know, so, you know, there's a
ton of extras, set dressings, and all these things happening,
the scene that I'm doing is like the end of this big, big
montage. So they have this huge crane shot coming in and into
the Beverly Hilton hotel where I was a valet supposed to, you know, in the
show and the, you know, comes across all these, you know, old scars from the sixties and people,
50 extras walking in and out of the lobby and all this huge coordinated choreographed dance as the crane's coming in and then it lands on me
and I'm supposed to catch some keys that are being tossed
to me by the guy who's parking in the valet.
So I'm like, okay, no matter what I am making this catch.
Yeah. Right?
Says the guy who misses the catch.
I'm not gonna drop these fucking keys.
Yeah. Right. Says the guy who misses the catch. I'm not gonna drop these fucking keys. Yeah.
Guy, you know, the crane comes in, extras in,
how craziness.
Tosses the keys.
It's a decent throw,
but I decide that like, I'm gonna kinda like milk it.
You're gonna get queued with it?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
What, right?
Behind the back. Like I'm Randy Moss or something.
I reach out and I make the catch. Like yes! And right as I make the catch,
my pants ripped. No! Yes! My pants
And then and the director was right behind me and he saw the rip they rip and he goes
Yeah, it was so, I immediately profusely sweated.
Right, of course.
Of course.
Dude, it was so bad, man.
That was awesome.
And then, and the wardrobe person, you know,
like an absolute soldier flies in,
she has me spread my leg and she goes under and she stows me on.
While they're on?
Yeah, while they're on.
Fantastic.
She's right below your scrundle sacs.
Yeah.
She probably knew they were weak.
I bet she bought those from some guy.
Maybe it was the guy who mugged me. She got those jeans. She's like, I don't, I bet she bought those from like some guy. Maybe it was the guy who mugged me.
She got those jeans. She's like, I don't think they're going to hold up.
Henry's got too much cake.
I was caked up.
In comes, in comes Carol Kane.
Balls.
That is crazy.
Did you have to read the scene in the sweep shot?
Do they get the pants ripping?
Do you have to do it over?
I'm sure they got the pants ripping.
And yes, we did have to do it over.
Did you catch the keys the second time?
Caught the keys the second time.
Nice.
It was a slightly higher toss. And yeah, did the scene and it was okay.
We all love a good redemption story.
Yeah.
We all love a good redemption story.
Gosh, it was so gnarly.
Oh my gosh. All right, I got one last question to ask both of you. Are you, I know you're younger
than I am and younger than maybe Chrissy might be. She hasn't told me your age yet, but,
do you remember Beanie Babies?
Oh yeah.
Did you have- Big time.
Did you have Beanie Babies?
Did you own Beanie Babies?
Hundreds. Hundreds.
You did.
Where in the fuck are they?
Can you send them to me?
Yeah, Henry, do you have Beanie Babies?
Interesting.
Dude, you know what?
Yes.
This is such a bummer.
Okay, so my.
My room at my parents' house used to have a huge chest.
Like, you know, it was what the hell do you call that?
Like a toy? There was like a.
Yeah, yeah, there was it was a bench and a toy.
Yeah, yeah. At the bottom of the bed.
One right. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah.
But my fucking mom
You know whatever redid the room. Yeah, like recently so that chest is gone. No
It was full to the brim with beanie
My mom got rid of mine too, cause I had a number of them. I know, and now, so we, so we do, on Fridays we go, we break down a video, right?
So I think it's gonna be cute to break down this video of this guy on QVC going bananas back in the 90s
over these Beanie Babies are gonna sell. For $2,000 you get 94, the original 7, these are retired, that's retired.
This guy's going
so we're laughing at it so we're laughing hilariously however who the fuck kept their beanie babies
then we look them up then we look them up somewhere's fifty thousand dollars a piece
he was selling yeah the original seven are worth like fifty thousand dollars a piece and we're not
laughing anymore now i'm crying yeah because i'm like'm crying Can I ask some some questions about the details here? Yeah the if they're out of their package. What's the deal?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't work a lot of money. You're kidding. No come up on it
Really important though, I think
Yeah, I think that's a big deal
Thousands they're still I've got, I straight up have a gym bag
in my mom's house of all the Beanie Babies.
Go check it out.
Oh dude.
Go check it out.
And it's just, I mean, I loved,
I think maybe that's where I got into characters probably
is like giving each different Beanie Baby a different voice
and sometimes I'd come home from school and have them all sit around and I would
teach a class to them trying to reiterate the things that I learned.
That's sweet.
That's really sweet.
He would politely ask them for 20 pounds because Christmas sucks.
I'd be like, now you have to walk me to an ATM.
Tabasco, the little red bull.
You know what that guy's name is?
Snort, that's Snort, I learned that.
The bull, yeah.
Snort is worth like $20,000, Daniel.
You need to go home immediately.
Go check those out.
I'm not selling it, I'm not selling my friend.
What do I look like to you, man?
That's his audience.
Yeah, exactly, those are my subscribers on YouTube.
What are you talking about?
5.1 million Arpegni babies.
Oh lord.
Okay, why don't I sell them and I'll give you a cut of the sales.
How's that?
That way you don't feel bad about selling your friends.
You need to go back to your mom, Henry, and say, where did you put that? Yeah. Yeah. I, it's probably
somewhere. I'll tell you this though. Um, if you guys, where are you guys based? Atlanta.
Oh Atlanta. Okay, cool. Uh, well, if you ever come out to California, the guy, tie Warner,
yeah. Who is the beanie baby guy. He lives in Santa Barbara, California,
which is like just north of Los Angeles.
It's where my dad is from.
And he and his mom, like,
he's like fourth-generates insane, whatever.
So his mom knows Ty,
just from like the grocery store or something.
She's like this little old lady. I'm telling you, you can get, like,
if you show up to Santa Barbara,
I'll get you in with Ty Warner through my print-a-bot.
There you go, there you go.
And he will hook it up.
We're gonna have to do it now.
He will hook it up, yeah, yeah.
And if you ever come to Atlanta,
I can hook you up with $2.19
double cheeseburgers from McDonald's.
We get them all the time here.
No problem.
God, that is the ticket.
I'm sure I have a coupon somewhere.
You know what I'm saying?
You got an Emly Starbucks.
East Atlanta Santa be damned.
There you go.
Look at that.
Henry dropping some ATL knowledge.
At least Atlanta Santa.
I know.
I love that guy.
Bad Santa.
Yeah, yeah.
The bad Santa.
Have you ever been to Atlanta, Daniel? I know, I love that guy. Bad Sansa? Yeah, yeah. The bad Sansa.
Have you ever been to Atlanta, Daniel?
I went to SCAD actually.
I went to-
You did?
Yeah, I went to the Savannah College of Design in Savannah, Georgia.
But yeah, I've been up there a few times.
I recently was there because I hosted SCAD's commencement address and I introduced Amy
Poehler and David Yermin and stuff is
really cool. Wow. Who's that? David Yermin, Amy Poehler. A bunch of yut says we probably don't even know who they are.
Listen, listen, we wish them luck. Good luck on the jewelry, good luck on the comedy thing.
At least you've got the baby babies to back you up.
A woman in comedy, imagine that.
It's never gonna go down.
She thinks she's funny, she thinks she's funny.
I actually, deep irony listeners, we love her, okay?
Yes, yes, yes.
Deep irony, Amy Poehler is a badass bitch.
Yeah, just in case you didn't know.
She's great.
That's true.
Gentlemen, the show is great. I highly encourage everyone to go watch it. It's on freebie right now.
Amazon.
Amazon's freebie. And what's next for you guys? Anything in the works? I know you've got an album
coming out, Henry, in summer.
Yeah, I do. I have an album coming out this summer. I don't have an exact date yet, but
it's going to be probably July 7th.
But that's not confirmed. That's one of my kids' birthdays. Yeah, that's my sister's birthday.
Oh, you're kidding. Oh my God. Okay. Well, then it is going to be July 7th.
It had to be now. Can we say the name of the album?
Absolutely. Yeah. Please tell us. The album's called Stop Doing Funny Stuff.
The album's called Stop Doing Funny Stuff. Nice.
Which I'll give over quickly.
It's my brother and me and my best friend in fourth grade were playing basketball with
my brother.
And my brother's a, he's a really legit basketball player.
And very tall.
But he was like in first grade, he's super tall.
And he was like in kindergarten or something.
And we, me and my friend were like messing around so much and he was taking a free throw
shot. or something and we me and my friend were like messing around so much and he was taking a free throw shot and
We just and we just would moon him every
He really wanted to play like that real and play a real game so he start he starts going you guys stop doing Stop doing funny stuff over and over again. So I named the album after that story.
I love that.
Oh my gosh.
And Daniel, ever popular YouTube creator,
go check out his channel.
We'll put all the information inside of the show notes.
We'll talk more about it as we wrap up the outro.
I'd like to thank both of you from coming on.
We'd love to have you again.
Thank you so much.
That was so fun.
Thank you so much.
And congratulations on the show.
In the blast.
I do think it's funny.
Yeah, I hope this was better than your regular press junket. You know, your...
It was like hanging out. Well, when you do the album, come back and Daniel, you're welcome.
Anytime you can hit us up. I'll be a cheerleader.
Perfect. You're cute enough to be a cheerleader. Daniel, you're a nice looking gentleman.
I'll say that right now.
My wife won't mind me saying that you're a nice looking gentleman.
I'll pay you 20 pounds after you say that.
If you want.
If you want, if that's okay with you.
If that's okay with you.
Do you mind?
Can we go to the ATM and you borrow 20?
I'll tell you what, skip the 20 pounds.
I'll take your beanie babies.
Henry, tell your mother what was she thinking? I mean, I know she may not be hurting for cash, but the 20 pounds, I'll take your beanie babies. Henry, tell your mother what was
she thinking? I mean, I know she may not be hurting for cash, but the rest of us need those
beanie babies, okay? All right.
I don't know what's, yeah, I'll check in with her.
Henry and Daniel, star dinner with parents on Amazon's freebie right now. Thank you both,
we really appreciate it.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you. Bye.
really appreciate it. Thanks, guys. Thank you. Bye.

Ah, what a delight.
What a delight those two young men are.
They really are.
What a nice young man, Daniel,
being robbed at not at gunpoint, at mouth point.
I know, I didn't know what to expect.
Yeah, well, I think that's the takeaway from the interview is Daniel's hit Daniel up for
20 pounds next time you're in London.
I think that's the takeaway.
I actually, I'm going to fall on the controversial side of this debate.
I don't think technically that was a mugging.
I think technically, but I do understand where he was coming from.
I do too.
Yeah, you're in a strange country and, you know, an intimidating guy comes up and suggests,
let's go to this ATM.
Right.
And you know, the truth is, is I could see myself getting into a very similar situation.
Absolutely.
Fastard was with me and I felt a little sketched out and this guy was being a little bit more pushy
than I thought he should be. And he said, there's an ATM right there, right? I would, in my mind,
because I exaggerate everything, I'd over exaggerate what was going on. And I'd be like,
I'm being robbed. I got to go to the ATM and pull out money.
I'm kidnapped now.
I'm kidnapped.
But how interesting a story that he has that he never shared with anybody.
And I can also understand why he never shared it with the best of the cast and crew.
Carol Kane would probably be like, you're an idiot.
But Daniel was-
They're a lot of fun.
They are a lot of fun.
Daniel was such a nice guy and Henry was a nice guy.
Henry's mom, of course, Julia Louis-Dreyfus,
which I didn't want to mention.
Now, I didn't purposely stay away from it.
I just didn't come up in the conversation,
but I don't think I would have mentioned it
because I think he's a good actor on his own.
He probably is sick of that pulse.
Don't you imagine?
Yeah.
He's got to be sick of people like going on shows
and people just asking about his mom the whole time.
Yes, I can imagine that.
I don't want to offend anybody. That's not my personality. I just want everything to be nice.
You know what I'm saying?
And it was fun. It was just a great conversation. I'm excited about the show for those two.
Yeah, those two. Listen, a lot of people talking about Dinner with Parents. If you haven't watched
it, go watch it now. It's on Amazon's free V, Daniel Thrasher's incredibly popular YouTube channel or his
TikTok, or his Instagram, or his Facebook, or at VidCon, or wherever you find anything.
Or at the Savannah College of Art and Design commencement.
Opening up for Amy Poehler.
I know.
What the fuck?
I mean, what the fuck?
Honestly, no one asked us to do the SCAD commencement speech.
Well, probably because we've never us to do the SCAD commencement speech. Well, probably
because we've never commenced anything at SCAD. But, you know, my goddaughter goes to
SCAD. I wonder if she was there at the commencement speech. I don't think she was graduating,
but can't you just show up anyway? Right? If you're part of the school, you just go?
I don't know. I never got that far in college, so I don't know if you could actually go
to the commencement speech. Like, if someone was giving a big deal speech at my campus, I would think you could just
show up.
I think so too.
And buy tickets and show up, right? It's like anything else. It's like an event. But Amy
Poehler, did she go to SCAD?
I don't know.
I have to assume she did. Or no, I guess they invite all kinds of people to do commencements,
right? Obama's always doing a commencement here and Bill Clinton here.
They get honorary degrees and things. Right? Yeah. Obama's always doing a commencement here and Bill Clinton, you know.
They get honorary degrees and things.
I don't see Trump doing a lot of commencement speeches,
but I'm sure he's probably been invited somewhere
at some time, Trump University or something like that.
So yeah, so you got the beats on the show.
Go watch it, dinner with parents,
and then you can check out Henry's album later on this year.
Stop doing funny things. July 7uzarosa July 7th.
Henry
July 7th, one of my kid's birthdays.
You heard it here last.
So there you go.
You know, it was funny because when I was doing some homework on Henry before they came
on, I actually saw that there was a musician named Henry that was putting out a new album
and doing this music in my Google searches.
But I didn't even click on it because I was like, oh, that's clearly not the same guy. But apparently, it's the same
guy. Was it Henry Hall? Or do you just said Henry? Well, I mean, I didn't just put it, I just type
in Henry into Google. What do you think I am a moron? No. Henry! Yay! It's Henry!
Yay! It's Henry!
So, Henry, it says here you're derived from the British term for scundelbunking.
Henry!
You have a king name after you.
Henry!
What do you think?
What do you think I'm doing here all day?
I don't know!
I'm just typing Henry.
I did the same with Daniel.
Daniel!
He's just Daniel.
He probably pops up first.
You have a famous show on Comedy Central called Daniel 2.0!
Henry! Show on Comedy Central called Daniel 2.0! Ha ha ha! Henry, Daniel, so nice to meet you! I've always wanted to meet Daniel and Henry.
Ha ha ha!
Meanwhile, Henry's farting on set.
That was my favorite takeaway.
I just love a good fart joke.
I don't know what it is.
I can't help myself.
I can't help myself.
Oh, fun, fun, fun.
Good times.
Good times.
With Daniel and Henry.
Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Daniel and Henry.
Daniel and Henry.
Henry.
Let me tell you about Henry to see what pops up.
I was thinking that might take you a while.
How was it to be the ruler of England?
So there's like five of you.
You've all taken your turns ruling England.
Good times.
Those two, by the way, a lot of fun.
We had a lot of fun with them.
Yeah, that was great.
On and off air.
They were a lot of fun.
