So welcome to another episode of tiger belly. Yes, I'm gonna introduce the people in the room
I'm very excited about today's show so much because I'm tired of comics
Fuck comics, right? We get these guys the Mexican guy. What's the Mexican guy's name? Akash sing George Lopez?
Oh, yeah, I've got sing but um, we got George in the room. Why does ever I love it stiff as fuck
We got yeah, our own island Mexican
Yeah, yeah, and then we've got my beautiful girlfriend. I too am an island Mexican. Yeah, I don't want to say it though
But listen, I um I
Want to introduce our first guest today
Um
We have a second. Oh, that's right. Yeah, we do. Oh, yeah, I know I met him
15 years ago, maybe 12 years ago. I think so right long time ago and we did some work together on mad TV. Yeah
You're probably the biggest guy that's ever done this
We had you on we were like, oh my god. We can't believe we got him
Oh, that's cool. We we had a good time. We took some photographs
We we had lunch together on set. It was great. And I remember you were doing your photograph stuff too right back then and
But I was in my heart like I've met Elijah before never met Billy. I've met Samwise Ganji
Yeah, Sean and and I but I honestly think
You're the nicest Hobbit I've ever
There it is and I was so excited that I'm sorry that we know it didn't work out a couple of months ago
But I was all good. I was super sick. But um, would you have COVID? No
Addiction
But so you guys know him from
The Lord of the Rings movies, you know him from I love lost I've seen every
Let's go lost. Um, I just saw you in the Force Awakens
Right, no way. I was in the last Skywalker thing. It gets confused
Well, which one were you in? I was in the very last. Oh, you were in the last one the last
The other guy was Jonathan Boyega. Oh my bad. My bad. Um, but anyway, Dominic Monaghan give him a round
Hey, just to go way back
Did we meet at the comedy store or did we meet a man TV because I used to kind of
Loiter yeah around the comedy store because I am a fan of comics even though I know the
Dark bastard. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I was a big fan of the comedy store and I get the feeling you and I were like
Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up? Yeah, we did do that. Yeah, but I think we didn't really talk until yeah
You know me and Matt TV, but um, you were a big deal on Matt TV. I
Mean you were you were the guy on Matt TV
There was a couple years that I maybe I was but what had what happened after mad was so grim for me in terms of my
career
Like I couldn't get anything going for like a decade really, you know, I mean
So it was I was just on the road playing the chuckle full factory and it's terrible things and then um
Like everything else you just have to be patient. I guess but I mean, how do you handle you handle like well like rejection and I
Think I'm quite good at rejection because we're used to it. Yeah
Yeah, in terms of like girls and stuff
No, but seriously. Yeah, I don't because because our whole because our whole job is about you know, batting
Maybe 50% if you're great at your job. Yeah
Probably most people are batting. I don't know 20% so
Well, they say that they won out of
896 auditions people land that was like a statistic when it comes to all actors in LA
What is it? One you get one job out of 896 audition. So just stay in for the
Once every two years, right, right. Yeah, yeah, but like because I'm so used to rejection in terms of from a professional
standpoint, yeah of like, you know, and it's it's weird in the states if you compare it to England because in the states
Everyone love everyone loves you. Everyone thinks you're fantastic. Everyone thinks you're great and you're like, okay, cool
So I got the job. No, no
What don't say I'm fantastic and you love me in England. They're much more like unfortunately didn't go your way or they preferred some more nails
Right, you know, that's a heavy rejection, but at least it's like consistent and honest in the states
It's like, oh, they they think you're lovely. You're fantastic. They love you. They're gonna see you again on Tuesday
You're like, oh, great. Yeah, come in and they go. Oh, you were great. Okay. Did I get it?
Yeah, or they use terminology like you're in the mix
Right, what the fuck does that mean? Yeah, how many people are in the mix? Is it a stew?
Yeah, you're still undecided on whether or not
Let's put a pin in it is a good or a bad thing. Yeah, or we put a pin in it. I don't know what the fuck that means
Yeah, yeah, are you in holding?
What does it mean George? I don't put a pin in it. It's like
So, you know when there's a born they have headshots, it's like an old-term doctor
You're pinned with other headshots for like a lead role, right?
Oh, it's very often between you and one of the person, right? Yeah
Who's this fictional one of the person that keeps getting all these I know who I know my other person
Yeah, you know for a Ken Jeong was always the other person, you know, I mean, right you have a do you have a specific?
I've had a few or that a few there's a guy that you won't know
I don't think because he was big in England and didn't didn't come over to the states had his own career in England
Called John Sim. He and I went up for a lot of stuff for a while, but in the states
I went up for a lot of stuff against Ben Foster
Oh, yeah, and then Jamie Bell. Do you guys know? Oh, yeah, yeah, I didn't audition for Billy Elliot
but yeah, which was weird because he was way younger than me and
Jamie and I became friendly because he used to come to Lord the Rings Premiers when he was a kid
He was like 13 14. Yeah, I mean we're in our like mid-20s and then as he matured into a man
He and I were auditioning for things and very often he would get it and I wouldn't I'd be like I'm fucking beating my Billy L
By that guy Pepsi
Premier yeah, yeah, but in terms of like girls and stuff. I I really have no I have no qualms of being told
No in a plot in a pleasant way because I'm so used to it with with my job
Yeah, I had a friend who's scared of rejection, you know go talk to that girl
No, what if she says no, I'm like well if you're okay with the worst possible scenario, which is no
Yeah interested then you're bulletproof. So I'd just be like just prepare yourself for a no and then everything else is great
he's fucking
healthy
Right
We we process it in a completely different way. There's shame and there's guilt attachment. It's really bad
Wait, maybe you just need to we need to break up so you can get rejected by a whole lot of women again
And then maybe the nose will start to feel better. Yeah, but I don't know
Perfect plan. Yeah. Yeah, let's not do that
Then I have to get on Tinder and I have to do a profile
And you're not gonna get on Tinder anymore. Tinder's out. Oh, you can get on Raya. Raya. Well, what if I get rejected by Raya?
That's another rejected all the time. Do you know even getting in like oh, we're getting in
Oh
George was on right. I know that's my point is it's like if I can't get into Raya and he got it my fucking producer
I'll kill myself a question. Um, are we if you're in Raya is everything supposed to be confidential?
Like are you not what are the club rules? Yeah club rules?
Yeah, you if you take three screen grabs of anything on Raya
And they'll warn you so there's been times. I mean certainly the first time it happened. I was like, oh, I want to remember this girl
She's gorgeous. Whatever and a little thing would come up saying, you know, you cannot do this
If you do it two more times, we will eject you from the club. All right. Well, you can't save the profile like I like this one
Well, you can like it and if they like you back then it gets saved
The thing to do is to just work out their Instagram handle and then you go to Instagram or you take your iPad
You use your iPad to take a picture of the phone. Nice. Nice. Oh, that's how I see people's
Snapchats all the time. Yeah, yeah, you know, my friends like I think he's about to send me a snapshot of him ejaculating
I'm like, okay, we'll let her watch it together. I want to record that for later
Face time me from a different phone and we'll watch, you know
It's definitely ways of figuring it out. But yeah
I think I don't know. I think the same is real life in terms of there seems to be a
lot more
beautiful attractive women on Raya
then there is
Man, although I'm not in the group that's looking for men and women. I'm only looking for women
Yeah, from what my other guy friends say, they're like, oh, yeah
There's there seems to be a large group of women and the women are only looking for in their very small pool of men
But it's the same. Yeah, because they're filled with this piece of shit
He's wearing strange jeans. I'm kidding. Yeah, right. You're well, you're Mary. Why are you in Raya?
Yeah, he won. Oh, I see. Okay, my bad, right. But can I call you Dom?
Oh sure Dom. Yeah, my mom calls me Dom and Nick when I'm in trouble and I don't like you. I'll call you Dominic then
Oh, yeah, sure
Go to some nicknames. What are some options? DD. Oh, yeah, dodo. I sometimes get go get code dominator
Dominator, I like that can be a little yeah, I just call you Dominic. Let's start there and then we'll figure out
No, call me Dom. Call me Dom. So let me ask you something. You're not married and no
I was engaged a few years ago. Yeah
America we partied ways to America
Yeah, American from Arizona. Oh, wow
I don't know. I think maybe having spent
From my late teens up until my late thirties being
vibrantly single
We'll just leave that as a
General placeholder. Yeah, you were a fuck machine finding my
I
Finding myself in a kind of committed long-term relationship gave me the heebie-jeebies a little bit
Which is a drag because I really want to have kids and I love kids and I would love my parents to be
Grandparents to my kids and all that kind of thing. Yeah, it's just very difficult for me to do the whole
Picket fence kids. When does um, when does that heebie-jeebie feelings start to come about like how after how many months or a year usually people have this like
You know a set window where you're like, oh shit. It's eight months. I'm starting to feel yeah uncomfortable
I don't know really. I'm not sure if that's an exact science with me. I just I'm
I'm fiercely independent based on
the patterns of my childhood based on what I've done in my life a lot of
Friends who are into star signs and all that kind of stuff say your star sign. I'm a Sagittarius
They're like one of the major things about Sagittarius is they are independent. They are they're always moving. They don't like being pinned down
So I think in a relationship
once things get past the kind of
Exciting fun. Who are you? What do you look like without your clothes on? What's your favorite food? What's your favorite movie thing?
Once things start to get a little bit like I need to know where you are what you're doing you have commitments you have responsibilities
It just loses a lot. I get it
The veneer. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I genuinely think someone is out there who is
Free in all the ways that I am and like hey, babe. I'm gonna go to New York for four days
I'll see when I get back like great. I think you're amazing
But the whole like coming in putting the key through the door and someone's like hi didn't it's gonna be on the table
Yeah
I also don't like the checking like I used to have like
Pearl officers as girlfriends like you didn't I texted you you didn't check in with me. Yeah, because I'm not a fucking criminal
Mm-hmm. You're me lady. You know me. Are you sure?
Yeah, but you don't do a check-in thing. I don't I have my that's why this is works
My expectations are very clear. Like I just need tell me you're alive. Yeah, you know, how long have you guys been together?
Almost ten years. Yeah, really. Yeah, this is real. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah, it's real. Well, you guys have made it work
So what's the secret? What's the secret you guys?
occasional hookers
But what if you met a girl that you really liked her, right and you went on a couple days
I really like this girl, right? And then you went to her place and she had a gigantic Gandalf, you know frame
And like orbs and like, you know, I mean like hobbit feet and she was like so obsessed with
His fantasy he's describing right now upstairs looks like
Yeah, yeah, but that no because I've met girls were like, you know
Like even white girls or whatever, but then you go to their house and they have num chucks
Yeah, yeah, like everything's like bamboo and like they have a fetish or whatever. So if they had a hobbit fetish, would that be weird?
I mean, oh
My bit weird. There's no question that
But I've hung around with people who
Who are big on the movies. Yeah, it was it was a piece of pop culture. It was like a phenomenon that thing
So, you know, it's it's hit a lot of people
I think most people who have seen those movies would say I like them and then you have people who've seen those movies and
That is their all-time favorite thing ever. I've definitely hung out with people. Yeah, it is one of them. Honestly, I
Think Laura the Rings is one of like I've had David when David Cho was on
We referenced it all the time and Steven Young was there too, right?
And we just reference I referenced it all the time. There are just moments in the trilogy that
Just stick stay with this Bible. It's my Bible like the extraordinary book
No, no, but genuine. I read the book. No the books
I mean look the movie did a great job with the books
But if you love the movie, I'm telling you if you think the movies are like a nine out of ten
The books are some of the most extraordinary pieces of fiction
Like it's consistently voted as the greatest book of all time. Wow. It's an amazing piece of work
I've never been more
Intoxicated by a world then Middle-earth. I've read I've read books that I prefer more and American Psycho is probably my favorite book
Oh, wow, that experience of reading American Psycho was more
enjoyable for me
But in terms of like finding yourself lost in a fantasy realm
Holy shit, Laura the Rings is insane. Yeah
He developed those characters in World War two. I think right. Yeah, and then he's on the battlefield, right?
And then he just because obviously there's you're fighting different lent people and this and that I guess I
What that's what I would do
I would just because it would be so traumatic being in a fucking war that I would just fantasize probably you know
I mean, yeah, and try to get out of myself and those those four Hobbits represent the privates in the army Wow
the four Hobbits are the
Soldiers that go in wide-eyed great. Let's go to war. I want to help my friends
Yeah, and then they come out absolutely destroyed by all, you know Tolkin's incredible Tolkin was the
Head of English Oxford University, which is arguably, you know, one of the most kind of notorious universities on the planet and was also the head of language
Oxford University he created
Four or five full languages that you can speak from Lord the Rings. You can speak Hobbitish
You can speak Dwarvish. Wow speak Elvish. You can speak high Elvish
So when you go to these fucking conventions, some people come over to you and talk to you in high Elvish assuming that I know
Wow
What do you want me to sign?
Like when when
Aragorn sings yeah, is that real things he's singing? Yeah, that's Elvish. He's singing Elvish. Yeah, it's a little weird hearing him sing
Mm-hmm. It's a little feminine
You know, whatever and you're like, whoa, dude, that's weird. Yeah. Yeah, it's a little feminine. You don't sing. Do you sing in it?
I know the Pippin dog. I don't sing. Yeah
I'm really good at impersonating good singers, but I don't have a voice of my own
Yeah, so Billy has a voice if you say to Billy whatever sing are you lonesome tonight by Elvis?
He won't sing it like Elvis. He'll sing it like himself and it'll be beautiful
Wow, I can only sing it like Elvis, but I can impersonate Elvis really well
And I can impersonate my Morrison really well and John Lennon and Bob Dylan like I'm really good at impersonating people
Yeah, yeah, but like my brother's a singer and my brother would always be like, yeah, but where's where's your voice?
How does your voice sound? I'm like, I don't know what my voice sounds like. I just impersonate people
But your voice is so gritty, right? Right. So why don't that can be your voice, right?
Yeah, but I think if I sang it it'd be more like Tom Waits or something. Oh
That's why when I do an American accent in my voice, it sounds like I'm a 75 year old man
I would actually talk like this
That's that's not how someone who looks like me. Wow. You go deeper. He sounds more American than I do
Yeah, and I've been here for a long time
I mean, I've talked to other people that are involved in that movie too and especially Hobbits and you guys
You guys didn't get paid that well. No, no, we didn't yeah, yeah, but you people would be astounded how little we got paid
I like outside of the industry. I think people were like, oh, you still got paid a lot in the industry people like wait
You're in arguably one of the greatest trilogies of movies on that all time and you couldn't retire off it
Yeah, we couldn't get anywhere near to return. That's insane
Meanwhile, like all the Twilight actors and the Harry Potter actors and anyone in James Bond and anyone in Star Wars like they're all like
Oh, this is yes, but don't you get you don't get even residual you get residuals
What?
You don't get any residual now after after years of the Lord of the Rings only
Being beaten by Star Wars in terms of the in terms of the products that we sold from the movies
So Star Wars is the all-time king in terms of you know, lunchboxes and duvet sets and you know
On serial boxes and all that kind of shit
Lord rings is second
So in all of our contracts, it said if you if we sell something that includes your likeness
Then you will get a certain amount of money and at one point
Vigo
Spoke to New Line and said hey
It's been like four or five years and none of the actors from Lord of the Rings has received any residuals from
hundreds of millions of dollars of money that you've been making from the trilogy and
New Line said to Vigo, we don't write a check for anything less than 50 bucks
Vigo's like wait, you're saying that we've made less than 50 bucks. Yeah, the actors and they're like, yeah
How could that even be fucking possible? Yeah. Yeah, we had to get like lawyers to go in there. Wow
What do you call it? Auditing right? Yeah, I think we have to audit New Line, which is all very sexy
I remember like what are you up to a lot? Well, we're just auditing a new line right now. Yeah
But did you end up getting some we got some even even so
You know New Line went bankrupt based on the movies based on Lord of the Rings movies Lord of the Rings made
Over two billion dollars for for New Line and they went bankrupt. So something's yeah, is that Billy something is afoot?
Billy
Is that how you're gonna do it? You're gonna do it on the phone like that
This is the only way you can do it. Yeah, we had some technical difficulties
But you can't you can't put it up on that TV now cuz you won't be able to hear you though. Yeah, yeah problem
So don't look so scared Billy. I first of all, can I just I want to introduce my can you hear me?
Yes, I'm gonna go pee go pee. Oh, yeah, where do I go? It's good son of P
Yeah, I gotta I gotta put you up to the mic. Okay. I'm so sorry that this is the way we're doing it
I know it seems weird, but the thing is is that I have incompetent people working for me. Is it 1982?
No, it's not in 1982 no, um, but I'm gonna fire somebody
Yeah
No, but Billy I honestly like I've never met you in the flesh
Yes, something nice say something nice to me
I've never met you in the flesh, but I've always wanted to meet you and I was so bombed when I heard you were in fucking Hawaii
Why didn't we all just come to Hawaii?
I get some surfboards, you know, we'll get some computers that work
Why am I on somebody's phone?
Yeah, this can be the the cutting edge. We'll have you back. Yeah, but but Billy
We're gonna definitely have you back by yourself because I have so many questions to ask you and I also want to touch your flesh
I didn't mean that in a I
Didn't mean I didn't mean that in a sexual way
No, I said say something nice and you just said the nicest thing
Yeah, I also want to say that
Pippin was my favorite character in the Lord of the Rings movies
Isn't he the best?
I'll tell you why he's the best because he can sing
Yeah, right you did you did knock over that thing into the well to let the orcs know that you were there
So I don't know why you did that in the movies, but but aside from that. Yeah
I'll tell you why I did it because I knew the fellowship wasn't powerful enough
I knew Gandalf had to die to come back as a white wizard
But I want to say this I kind of like you I like you a lot and we're gonna have you back
And also I want to say what because Dominic Dominic's back back. I'm kind of whist was
But what I also want to say is is that?
Well, it's so funny. You're whispering. Yeah, but what I also want to say is is that?
You're kind of sexier than Dominic. Did you wait? I'm back now and I'm on
It's a disgrace but just to me because I like Irish people
Yeah, I like that the accent, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Scottish. Yeah. Yeah, you fuck to say
Wow, that's like sing like yeah, I love Sir William Wallace
Saved it saved it. Yeah, yeah, but so you're from Scott
Did you do did you do your homework here Bobby? Oh, he's drunk
No, Billy, I you know the thing is I literally thought you I don't want to argue with you
but um
Billy literally like I literally thought you were gonna be in here, right? So I don't I don't like doing research on people because
Yeah, yeah, because I just want to discover and uncover then now I learned you're from Scotland
I just want to apologize that I'm not there because I was really looking forward to it was a lot of fun
So I'm sorry. This is the best we could do. It's okay. But will I be able to do your guys's one day or what? Yeah?
Yeah, we want you to yeah, we want you to would you do that one hundred one hundred fucking percent man
Billy Billy's in Hawaii being all famous and sexy. Yeah, what island are you on Billy? Oh

No, Billy Dominic wants to know are you gonna wank it tonight? Absolutely not
Yeah, but if you did wank it would you watch like would you watch things or do you do it through your mind and your memories your
Honestly, I've never done that. I would never do that Bobby. Oh, he's a Christian. Yeah, he doesn't believe me. Yeah
Yeah, you know, we you know who he looks like Billy you look like my agent. Oh, really? Yeah
What I would love to be your agent. No, I fucking have one already Billy. I'm just saying you look like him
I would like to be him. Okay. Oh, okay. Maybe I'll fire

Because here's the thing you be my only client. I would work a hundred percent all the time

Want would you want to be a Marvel superhero? Yeah, I've always wanted to be Wolverine. Can you make that happen?
Do it. I'm the next Wolverine guys. Yeah, all right, Billy have fun on your vacation
But I'm gonna see you when I do your podcast and I'm sorry. We would talk longer if we weren't doing it this way
But I'm gonna fire some people but I fucking love you so much and I really want to meet you
Consistently so nice and you can tell he's so funny. He's great Billy
Consistently talked about between my circle of friends the nicest guy in the planet. Yeah
He that's what most of my friends. How's the nicest guy on the planet and everyone knows that we're talking about
Oh my god. Yeah, it's amazing. What a nice guy. I'm just like because he's Elijah's nice. Yeah, they're all nice
I I honestly do think that like when if you're moving around in those very
Fortunate circles of being in the conversation to be in some of these movies. You can't be a jackass man
Yeah, you just can't especially big ensemble pieces where you're together
For a year a year and a half a couple years Pete Jackson just he just wouldn't have dealt with it
He'd be like well, there's one person who's fucking everyone else off. Yeah, I haven't fall down a well
Yeah, I mean also that that move I mean
I remember even before that movie came out Vanity Fair did like a photo shoot with you guys and I was it
I was still in I was in LA. I was new, you know younger obviously and but when I saw that I just got so
Fuck because I used to watch the cart that shitty cartoon right the back she threw. Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Now let me ask you this too because I need to get into it because we're both lost fans
You were in two things that were cultural phenomenons, I think
Yeah, back-to-back as well. Yeah loss was a cultural phenomenon. Yeah, did you feel grateful at the time?
I mean, did you know what was going on?
That's a great question
I think you with hindsight you always assume that the person that you look back on
Doesn't really know what's going on and now you're the wise person looking back on them. I think I
Kind of handled it. All right, but it was it was intense. We
so the four Hobbits
went to
The Oscar ceremony for Return of the King when Lord the Rings won everything
So we I think we were nominated for 14 and we won 40 Wow
Spielberg came out on stage and and said it's a queen a clean sweep and we went up on stage and
I remember we're all like kind of huddled around Steven Spielberg before Pete came on to make a speech and Spielberg turned to
The four Hobbits and said so glad I got a chance to meet you guys because my grandchildren will be really excited
I remember just thinking
This is crazy. Wow. This is Steven Spielberg Wow who I grew up watching. Yeah, who's saying I'm so glad I got a chance to meet you guys
So and on that day
the morning of that day I
Had went and got my nails did
Yeah, in like a really what I thought at the time was like a kind of cool funky
Yeah, it's like a I called it a a
um a
Reverse French polish so you know how a French polish is like white tips. Yeah, so this was black beds
All my nail beds were like black nail polish. Whoa, and I texted JJ who had become
Friendly with because he and I were kind of like
Flirting around with the idea of trying to do something together and I texted JJ a picture on my hand
And I was like, hey, check it out. What do you think of my nails and JJ said keep that
because I think we might use it for something I was like, okay, and
Then I found out that the lost thing was happening
And what he was talking about was that Charlie would have these yeah rockery nails, you know
So because you she was shooting heroin in the bathroom. Yeah shoots heroin in the airplane. Yeah. Yeah, anyway
But that made you survive. Yeah, I think you know
It was it gave me a little little glimmers of false hope. Yeah. Yeah, and I chatted with a lot of
people who had been in and out of heroin addiction and
And the the kind of consistent through line with all of them was
When it takes hold of you, you'll do anything
You'll lie to your mom. You'll steal out of a purse. You'll punch your dad in the face
Their heroin is is kind of running the show. Yeah
so I
Tried to bring that at times into lost where even though he loved Claire and even though he loved the baby and even though
He wanted to escape the island when he's got his little fix, you know, in a ship. Yeah
Yeah, you were great in that but let me ask you did you guys as actors know
because
Gilbert you saw all of them all of them. Yeah, even the time travel episode year. Yes, that was a little weird the type
I liked it in the 70. It was cool. Yeah, I guess it was cool
Yeah, but did you know year to year with the direction was going to or were you as blinded as us as a
Yeah, no, they didn't know. I mean, we didn't know. Yeah. Yeah, we're just actors for high, but I don't think I
Think it was kind of on I mean look
Damon Lindelof who ran that show outside of JJ launching it did really well on that show was paid handsomely
You know got a career out of that show. I mean was already working but kind of made it a name for himself
Well, I think it was a little unfair
because I think if you were to ask Damon, he would probably say I had a great arc that finished at the end of season 3
Unfortunately because loss became this monster
ABC were like we want it to run for 10
Wow, JJ was like Damon was like, I don't think I can do 10, but I could do six
So you're kind of laughing taffying the whole thing out and of course that process dilutes it all
So he probably wanted to be like look, I want I want soya to do this this this and this and then he's done
Wow, but ABC were like well actually can you do this this this this blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then be done
Yeah, it kind of compromises your art, you know, and that's why you get a smoke monster
Yeah, yeah polar bear polar bear that never explain. Yeah, and a
photo statue that never gets explained and I mean
I loved it. I loved being Hawaii a lot of the cast struggled with the smallness of the island in the fact
There's only four uh restaurants and the paparazzi are everywhere type thing. I loved it. I went surfing
I became friends with pro surfers. I kept chameleons swimming in the ocean
Exploring the town go stop. Yeah
Oh, yeah, I love
I love chameleon. I love all animals. I love
Wait, is chameleon a lizard? Yeah, it's a lizard. I don't know much about chameleon elastic tongue, right
They could swap flies from a mile or whatever, right? It's iconic tongues. They change colors
They change color right like Michael Jackson. Yeah. Yeah, they're the Michael Jackson. Yeah, they're the Michael Jackson of lizards
Yeah, yeah, but it's a mate. It's an amazingly sense. They like to bite little kids in the
Wait, Michael Jackson
It's a it's an amazingly sensitive animal you just you describe it as you know, you've obviously got beginning level
Yeah, reptiles that people can keep. Yeah, and you got kind of intermediate then you got difficult
I would describe chameleons as difficult to keep because they need a high level of humidity
They need a very diet. They need uh sun and then shade throughout the day
So they're very sensitive in hawaii on the lay out on the night
Oh, hello on the island of oahu and the other hawaii islands
They live they're actually from Madagascar, but they got brought over at one point
So hawaii 100 humidity sun tons of rain tons of animals. They love it there. So I kept my chameleons outside
Wow, super healthy
How many I had like four or five over the can I ask you a question about chameleons? Please do they have
Do they recognize you?
I mean
Is there a relationship because
You know, you sent me the the video of the cow the guy has a cow and they obviously you can tell that there's
a connection a you know emotional connection
The cows recognize their owners
There's licking involved and cuddling and stuff like that. Do fucking chameleons do that or no?
It was much less licking
That's specifically what you're asking
Look, there you go. Oh, wow
That's a jackson's cameo. Oh, it's a four horn cameo. It looks like a jackson to me
Oh, yeah, wow
So this is in Madagascar. Oh, no, it's Cameroon. Well, so yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. You were in Cameroon. Yeah
This is specifically to to touch chameleons or
I'm a room. That's that's that's a problem. I went to Cameroon to find the world's largest beetle
What?
Are you?
No, this guy's fascinating. Wow. I saw his photographs back in the day. Remember your do you still do that? Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a great photographer this guy. Oh, thanks, Bobby. Yeah, but um, so super into wildlife
I love animals. Yeah, it's kind of like I mean if we want if we want to get like really kind of deep and sexy about
It's it's it probably is my spiritual practice. You know, I think that is my thing is like
If I'm struggling if I'm looking for inspiration if I'm looking to build a character in my work
But basically or a lot of the answers that I'm looking for in my life
I can find in the natural world
So I have a garden I keep a lot of animals at home
And I find them inspirational and they and they kind of give me energy but in terms of the chameleon thing
Yeah, I would say that my chameleons and and some chameleons were were better at it than others
responded to me in a way that was clearly
They knew who I was. Yeah there
They tend to change color based on their mood as opposed to their environment for the longest time people thought
Oh, if you put a chameleon on a blue piece of paper, they'll turn blue and if you put money yellow piece of paper
They'll turn yellow. It's not really true. It's more that based on their mood if they're pissed off
They go black if they're super happy they go they go kind of pistachio green like a mood ring. Yeah, it is like a mood
So I've had chameleons who if I pick them up
Some of them would be super stoked for me to always pick them up and they they go floppy and go green
And then other ones weren't as into me picking them up. So I think they recognize that they were having a human
reaction, but
Other times they would be more inclined to get squirrely or bite someone that they were on as opposed to me
So I think they could tell
Difference it's just an energetic kind of connection. Right. Well, they say every rehab I've been doing I've been to many
But they say
Nature is such a key component to spirituality and being grounded and being present
So it's like I've been trying to do a lot of that like I try to stop by a tree and just look at
Yeah, there's no better architecture. You cannot be the architecture of nature
Like it is just so like the symmetry of nature
Like even if you look at something like a cuttlefish, right? It's able to sort of morph into anything
I think they they cuddle
Oh, so am I bad? I don't know. Okay. So am I bad?
Yeah, but if there was a sensitive and I'm guessing like the character mystique was probably inspired by something like a cuttlefish
Yeah, the shape the shape shifter, right? Oh, so cuttlefish they shift as well
Yeah, like if it if it it feels like a predator is coming on and there's a rock next
Next to it that it can morph into or look like it's going to choose to look like a rock squids do that
No, yeah
Cephalopods and then when they get released to the shit right that black stuff. Is that shit?
It's ink whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, isn't that shit? It's diarrhea. It's diarrhea. Yeah, it's ink and the ink is really interesting
Because the ink in the water is almost like a cloak of invisibility
So it takes all the smell out of the water. Yeah overwhelms it with the smell of this ink
So a lot of times an animal will be coming after an octopus or a squid
And they'll be on the scent and the octopus will just send out this thing and then suddenly they they disappear
They can't see me. Well, what's that Netflix show that we saw that we cried. Oh my octopus teacher
Oh, yeah, I loved it. Dude, that made me cry so hard
So yeah, yeah, go on. Um, no one's gonna say like that's the thing a lot of times
That I find that we're disconnected from we all have relationships with
Dogs and cats and horses and and rabbits and stuff like that and that's great
And that's an easy animal to get to know and and a fun relationship to have
But the other animals out there is you know, they're all still someone's son or daughter. They're all still looking for food
They're all still looking to procreate stay alive stay safe type thing
So you can connect with them. It's just a slightly
more
um
long
Kind of round about connection a dog always wants to come over and say hello to you
A dog always wants to like get treats and stuff because they're evolved to have a relationship with a human
So that's what I mean
We we spent hundreds and hundreds of years
Acclimating with them, right? If we just did that with other animals. Do you think that maybe the
That I mean eventually, yeah, you know, eventually it'll it'll take a lot longer
And some of these animals always want to stay wild
But my argument would be
Which I found when I was when I was doing my my next show, which is what that what that clip was from is
If you this was this was my kind of method when I was in the field
Was I would
Approach an animal that I want to work with and I would try and find a way for me to get my hands on it
Without it losing its shit and then as soon as I get my hands on it
All I'm doing is trying to communicate to the animal without speaking. It's okay. I'm not trying to hurt you
I'm not trying to hurt you and you would see in the show
My cameraman Frank was sometimes a little bit scared around snakes and
Crocodiles and spiders and stuff like that and I I will say to my cameraman
You're good now because I can feel
This exchange come back from the animal where they just they just relax. Okay. I'm good like wow tried to escape
I tried to bite. Yeah, I tried to sting none of it worked
He's still hanging on to me. I guess I'll just relax and as soon as you relax, then you've got this little
Communication going on. I'm not gonna hurt you. You're not gonna hurt me type thing. What's this?
This is a big snake in a tree. Oh, what the fuck modern-day Steve Irwin. Yeah, this guy fell asleep on me. So, um
Yeah, we're in Vietnam going down the river
That's probably about that's fucking amazing dude about 10 or 12 feet long
You're not a zoo. You're in the fucking wild man. It's wake and it actually fell asleep on me
Yeah, I if I had a machete, I'd probably chop its head off. I would be so scared. No, you would not Bobby
Not this guy. You don't think so. No way just so what I'm doing now is I'm just watching its body language
So you can actually like right now. It's fine. It's looking away. It's looking away
It's trying to get out of my hand here trying to back up so we can get on my hand. I'm relaxed. I'm relaxed
I'm talking to the camera. I'm like, okay. We're chilling right now. The snake's kind of just in stasis. It's like
Trying to figure stuff out, but there's a point where you'll see in a second. It starts to like
get interested in
The heat coming off my head because obviously I'm perspiring and there's a lot of heat coming off my head
So it starts to come and investigate around my head whilst also coiling
Around my body and if you know anything about snakes, especially big snakes, you know
What they're gonna try and do is they're gonna get some coils around you to control you
And then they're gonna come over to you to your head and attack you
So what I something happened between me. Is that a boa? That's a python a python similar
So I was I did a part of the animal practice. I was on a show called animal practice and the pilot
They had a but did I tell you the story or I think so they had a so the pilot was we're gonna do a camera shot
And buy your office and which it's gonna be a quick just pass by but a boa constrictor is gonna be choking your neck
It's a funny, you know site
But what happened was the russo brothers were producing and I think was joe russo goes
What the fuck stop cut and the boa constrictor had exuded some sort of toxin
Wait, they can't do that. Yeah, or something shit. No, not a shit. It was like a defense mechanism
But I had an allergic reaction
Oh, that's not it wasn't just squeezing you
No, there was there was there was like my bumps on my face
It probably is that it didn't release anything you just had an allergic. Yeah, you probably maybe just uh
Fensitive this guy. I know I don't know but and then put that's a python man. Put this next to the
There's dom show. Oh, that's bumming
Same animal show same
I have a question. Are there any of all the animals you've ever interacted with is there one in particular that just sort of gives you the
Ugh, I cannot be around them for long like reasons for me like I can be around spiders. I'll handle all kinds of spiders
I have a really massive fear of cockroaches because they used to fly into my hair when I was a kid
And I used to have to crunch that's not fair though because the philippines have fucking the aerial ones
We had not the german cockroaches you have here and I used to eat the meat on my shin when I was eating as a kid
Um, so cockroaches. They're just out for me. I understand
You know, we can associate some of those negative connotations with an animal and it can have a real effect on you. Um
Not really just because
No, like
Because really
The experience of being with that animal is always worth
Having the experience and getting through whatever level of anxiety that I have
I can't think of an animal that I'm anxious to be around
But of course being around a large tiger or a large shark or a
You know, even a big whale in the ocean is extremely intimidating to be around because they're so big
So but the so this the tiny amount of anxiety that I might have around being with those animals is far
Overwayed by the experience that I have in the moment, you know, humans are probably the ones that bum me out the most
Yeah, if you want to get real about it. Yeah other Asian actors really bum me out
They really do it like jimmy yo yay fucking bothers me
There's like there's like a very there's like a very honest interaction at least for me with animals because
We've been able to prove that the animals like chimpanzees and and gorillas and you know
The the great apes of which we are one of are able to lie
They're able to you know, kind of say something, but it's not true most other animals don't lie
So if you're hanging out with a lion and it does not like you it will tell you it doesn't like you
Yeah, and you will be yeah, you will be expected to respond to that interaction. But the thing that really
Bombs me out with humans is we very consistently say that
Everything's fine things are okay. You're fine when things are not okay, and you're not fine, and they don't like you
So I prefer for the most part the interactions with the natural world because it's very honest very easy to me to understand
The snake will be like I don't like you there. You take a step back and the snake goes. Oh, actually, I'm okay. We do there
It just seems very transparent
Why can't we get to
Humans get to a point where we we're very clear about how we feel
Oh, we can set boundaries and just go and just be honest
But we you know, I I don't say things to certain people that I want to piss them off or whatever if I have a resentment
But I would love to get to a plump place in human in the human world where things are just more clear about
How people feel and this and that you think we'll get that
Well, it's interesting that we tend to as a as an animal we tend to get to those places when we've been exposed to
Uh hallucinogens and psychedelic plant medicines, right? Have you done those?
Yeah, but if you if you're around a group of 10 people and you're all coming down after an amazing
Mushroom experience, you'll find that most people are incredibly genuine honest
transparent for the remainder of that evening and then the wake up next day and
Start talking shy again. Yeah. Yeah, but you know what I mean? That's interesting. That is interesting. Yeah
Yeah, do you not eat meat then? No, I eat meat. Oh, not not as often as I used to but I eat meat. Yeah
I'll eat
You know fish if I feel like I've never been that really into red meat. I don't really eat pigs
Uh, it's not really my thing, but sure. I'll eat sushi and yeah, if I feel like yeah, yeah
Yeah, I we're curving
I feel like I'm curving you told me the other day you're not vegetarian for years
What are you talking about? I've always curbed. Yeah, but if I eat a hamburger and I don't finish it, you'll finish it
That's more out of guilt
Because I I hate the idea of you throwing away
meat
Yeah, because I'm like, oh fuck
So I because it doesn't you know, I justify it because it doesn't look like a cow
Yeah, if they just had like the eyeball or something. Maybe you know me something something that's better
You know in some countries
I say this all the time like you know when I first came here from the Philippines in the Philippines
They serve the whole pig with the face with the nails everything you see the whole you eat the nails
And then they call, you know, I remember having like going to a Filipino party here
And they had American guests
But the whole pig was on the table and people were just up in arms about it put a towel over its face
I'm like that's hip
Exactly. It's like if you're gonna eat that animal look at straight and it's dead eyes. Yeah. Yeah, like I think so I mean
No, I agree. Yeah, I think there's if we could live in a place or if I could live in a place of like
I would like to eat fish tonight. I'm gonna go down to the river catch a fish. Yeah, fill it it cook it
I think there's some level of honor in the right. So I spearfish spearfish
And but every time that I get a fish I genuinely feel like my heart aches a little bit
And I always tell him he's he thinks it's barbaric. He doesn't like it, but I'm like, will you go eat sushi?
Mm-hmm, but I think that it's yeah, they're both those two are both the same things
One's just been scrubbed up and clean
They're both barbaric. You could argue. Yeah ID are but I know I'm gutting that fish. I'm scaling that fish
I'm using my own breath. I'm doing every I don't know what but I don't know how to
Sorry, no, please
Sorry defend yourself. Yeah, I don't know how to fucking do that. You could learn your great swimmer. I'll float
I can float. I can't go under. No, you go wear weight belt. Oh my god
Just to get sushi
Then I get one brand of sushi. I like get a variety. Can I promise you that it'll be the where's the hamachi?
There's no hamachi. You can get hamachi. Yeah, it'll be the best
You can get I go to nobu. I get all of them. You can get yellowtail. Yeah, you get blue fin
You can get all of it. Yeah, I think I would be more mindful like I think we should get into a society
If you want to eat a cow kill it yourself. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but then I don't know how like what do I show up with a swiss army?
I wouldn't want you to just go there and stab it a thousand times. I don't know what cows. I imagine cows would be difficult
It's a very strong animal. It doesn't know how strong it is or how dangerous it can be. Yeah
I mean cows kill humans, you know throughout every year a certain amount humans are killed by a trampling cow
Yeah, um, and they're they're they they can live up to 20 years
But most of them die at five because that's when we slaughter them and then the the lives that they live
Of when they're born till five are just terrible. That's like ashaweds. Oh, yeah, it's miserable. It's a fucking miserable
The veal industry and some countries treat those animals. Yeah, they're immediately torn away from their mom and
Never see daylight so that their skin stays kind of, you know, gooey and yummy and stuff. Yeah
That's why you don't grow burgers away. Okay. I know what I I shouldn't eat them because I think it's hypocritical number one number two
You know, I hate the dog meat industry like when I see fucking euland dog eating festival photos
I get into a rage
Like I want to kill chinese people
Because of covid too, but my
What's that what is that country really late for this autograph signing? I never seen this before
Oh, why not? Do you guys remember this? I don't remember that at all. Really?
Relax, my precious
That's like you now nothing has changed
Nothing has changed. Burn it off
I can't look at myself wearing a costume. This is what I wear
Wow, I remember very cool to be naked, right? Yeah. Well, I I've curbed that because of this
I know of this our society someone had a really great theory as to why you like being naked a lot
Can I read it to you? I already know why I do it. I have a big dick so many people said
Someone said that okay, I have a theory about why bobby likes to be naked
Bobby talks about his father often being naked when he would beat him
I think the trauma of being beaten by a naked authority figure may have caused him to associate nudity with power and control
In situations. He wants to control. He will take on that role himself and assert dominance through aggressive nudity
There must be a level of
Empowerment and freedom around the fact that you're the only person naked in a group of people who are very
nervous
Someone naked is yeah, I mean
I can see how my theory is this. Okay. My theory wasn't that a sound theory. That's really like that too. Yeah
I like it too. Shout out manila rice. That's but I
Even as a kid I would look in the mirror naked
Not in front of my parents or just the bathroom like a normal person
And I was had such shame of my dick size shame
I had shame also about being korean because I grew up in an all-white neighborhood
There was a handful of asians in the city that I grew up town I grew up in
So, um, I think um, and also I started getting weighed and kind of like I shaped like you know
Like a cutie pie? No, just like, you know, boba, you know, I mean
I love boba
But then I started I had so much shame of my dick size and how I looked before cancel culture and stuff like that
You know, my toky would slip out every once in a while. You know, I mean toky is that what you call your toky the dum-dum
toky the dum-dum, okay
What do you call yours?
Yeah, yeah, you're just knighted though. So sir, whatever you want to come up with but my point is
You know, I I think england
Like you live here, right? I do because of the 15 years because of the business and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but I
On the weather. Yeah, the weather women the women
Yeah, I mean, seriously, there's beautiful women in Manchester, but a beautiful woman in Manchester is probably like
five and a half
Yeah, are you because I are you a city or united fan?
I'm a Manchester United fan. We're having a tough time
Yeah, you honestly
Sir Alex Ferguson was
Obviously, I think the greatest manager of all time. Yeah, you can make a strong argument. I think yeah, and I think that team
I mean, there was a couple of generations of teams that you had under his
Yeah, like you had the the original gigs nicky butt. Yeah, I mean back on the whole
Yeah, goals. Yeah. Yeah, and then you had um, and then he kind of brought in the Ronaldo the Tevez
The nannies the Valencia's. Yeah. Yeah. I hate Manchester United. Right. Who's your team?
Arsenal. Oh, God, you're having a tough time
We're fourth right now. Yeah, not as bad as us. Yeah, you guys are fifth. Yeah. Give me the pillow, George
What wait? Yeah, give me the fucking pillow, man. So you grew up liking football. No, when did it happen? I um
Um, thank you. FIFA. Oh, oh FIFA, right? Yeah, because I
You know, Ben Winston, I don't know if you know Ben Winston. He's a producer. He produces James Corden's
What's the college? But he's he knows Venger
And he knows
Honoree, you know, I mean, but I
In 2005 or six, my brother and I were at a game stop and we're like, we should
Play a game and he goes, how about soccer and I go, I don't know how it's played
Well, and he goes, well, you just kick the ball and things. So we got this 2006
FIFA World Cup the road to rule and and in that game they had stars above
The good player. So Wayne Rooney had a star. Obviously, Cristiana Ronaldo. Yeah, that's fucking gold that he did against Man City
Where you did the bicycle kick. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah
After that
I just like Rooney
Arsenal, how did Arsenal become because I like glam Arsenal. That's I'm glam. Yeah. Yeah, I'm fancy. Yeah, quite showy
I'm showy. Yeah. Yeah
But the reason why I liked it is because, um
In in the game that my brother and I bought it was only national teams. It was in clubs
So I would always play with France and Henri in the game was much faster and just had better ball control
Yeah, so then I just started researching on re that. Oh, what's Arsenal and then I started getting into, um
The the season they were the Invincibles and all that stuff and then it's an amazing season
I stopped playing FIFA and I just watched
Arsenal, right?
I was in I was in a restaurant. I was at Mozart. You guys know Mozart. I love it. Love it
I was at Mozart with a friend having dinner and Zinedine Zidane
Oh, they just came and we just came and he was denied a table
We've never been denied a table. We always get a seat there
I told the mainstream I told the mainstream when when we were leaving because we watched my friend and I watched and he
Came in dressed in a nines shaved head impeccable little black leather jacket that fit imperfectly tight little
I would have sucked us. I would have sucked us. He was a very handsome man. Yeah came over
smiley
Look just look a million dollars was clearly asking for a table the maitre d nice was like, I'm very sorry very busy right now
It was like eight o'clock. I'm so sorry come back and you get all signed language stuff and he left
And my friend and I were like, I can't believe you just turned out the greatest midfielders of all time
And when we left I said it to the guy I said, do you realize that handsome guy who came in with the black leather jacket?
You realize who that was now I said, he's one of the greatest soccer players ever and the guy was like, yeah
And he'll headbutt you in the chest. Yeah
Wait, how long have we been trying to get slat on on here?
Ibrahim Ibrahim he'll never do it. I met slat and did you meet him? No. Yeah, I met him when he was playing for the galaxy
I have his email address. That was the chance. That was our chance was when he played with
Yeah, oh god, he replies to my emails
No
Oh
It's a big you scored my greatest goal of all time. Can you pull up?
Slatan
Ajax goal
Okay, do you just put in slatan? You know, I suppose. Yeah, yeah, putting Ajax ajax
So this is the last game that he ever played for Ajax
He scores if I could score any goal in the history of football. I would score this
My goal
a
Ajax
My goal would be slot on against I guess english
There was national team when he does the overhead kick from like a hundred fucking feet away
No, you don't want this. You don't want to fool you. We watched his documentary
Put in like Ajax put in like Slatan Ajax classic goal or something like that classic
Yeah, try that
There it is
Put the one underneath that there you go that on the minute and ten. Yeah. Yeah, let's go. It's bad
It's bad. It's bad. Let's fucking see that. Look at his Latin his Latin. Okay. Oh, no, wait. That's not Slatan. It's coming up
Oh, he gets fouled right at the start the pass is going to come to him now. This is latin
He gets fouled here. He doesn't care
Oh
Oh, shit dog the jukes in that he makes everyone look stupid and then he puts the ball in
Oh, my god, it's such an audacious
Watch watch this so he gets fouled here. He puts the ball a little too close. He gets fouled. Wow. That's okay. I'll ride it
Look like I'm gonna shoot. Look at him. Even the camera guy gets lost too camera guy thinks he's gonna do something
Wow, and again four five
six
That's talent. Oh, that's that's talent. He's a ball. He's amazing. I lived in you guys email
Yeah, well here and there, you know, I'll send an email and then he'll reply which is which is nice
I lived in sweden for like
nine months doing a job and
He's one of
Sweden's like iconic. Yeah figures, you know, so
Everyone's walking around in like slang
Wow, I was excited about what he does, you know, he's retired now from the english team
You know, if he runs his own social media, maybe you should shoot your shot. I said, what do you know?
What do you think? Hey, what would you say to slatan?
Bonjour, I don't know
He's european. He's european. Don't be don't get angry. I know what I know what it is, right?
Did somebody just fart?
Don't fart, please. Okay. Yeah, we have a we have a guest
What would it say dears latan dears latan? Um, well, you wrote a song about him. What you just sing that really?
I think I did. Yeah. Um, yeah, I love your nose
Yeah, yeah, he's a great nose and I love your stature
And I think that you're one of the best
Best footballer footballers ever to do it. Yeah
Um, would you come do my podcast? Is that how and then I would go right into the podcast
But but the thing is is that I here's the reason why I don't think he would do it
Is because I feel like he because he doesn't stay in clubs that long
Right, and I think the reason why is because he just wants much like you maybe he wants to move on and
Or
He could be a problem
Yeah, he's become a little bit of a journeyman player and I'm not sure if that was his
idea
I think him coming up at the same time
As christiana rinaldo and leonal messi who are two just legends. Yeah, don't get me wrong
Slatans a legend too and if slatana had to come up on his own
I think everyone would have been talking about him being the best player in the world and winning the ball on door
consistent times
unfortunately, he came around at the same time as
A michael jordan and a scotty pippin and you're dennis rodman and people like yeah, you're great
Right, there's messi. Yeah, there's rinaldo. I mean messi's an enigma. You pull up the iber verve like iber verve
It's puyol photo. Okay. Um, do you know this photo puyol? Yeah. There was a was a point. No, it was um, who's the good looking?
He's date. He's married to
Oh, so peter. Oh, that's jara. You are pk. Yeah. Have you seen this photo? No, no
I want you to ask you and I don't listen. I don't care if you're gay
Okay, I love gay. Me too. Yeah, I love the gays. You know what I mean? I've done some gays, but
What what are you?
Yeah, I know but go zoom in. Now they both played on the same team. Yeah, barcelona barcelona. So look closer
Have you done you've never have you done with this with billy before? I don't actually know what they're doing
I know they're holding each other's hands. Yeah, so tenderly. I think yeah. Well, look
Okay, pk is a defender, right?
It's like latin is an aggressive attacker. I wonder if they're leaving a training session and one of them
Put in a hefty tackle on the other and they're having a bit of a bro town. Yeah
Hey, man, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. We had a bit of a fight. Yeah, but we don't do this
Right, it's like I think this was taken when he was leaving barcelona. Yeah, maybe it was an emotional
He's got that hair for it. Yeah. Yeah, it must be such we I talk about this with my friends all the time
It must be such a strange
Sensation for someone likes latin for example who was the best football player in his school
The best football player in his city the best football player in his country. No one could fuck with him
He comes to barcelona and there is a kid who is 10 years younger than him and a foot and a half smaller than him
That is clowning him and clowning everyone else. It must be such a moment for these people's egos because
All of these elite athletes have such massive egos
They need to have the egos to be walking in and out of those dressing rooms
And then suddenly he's like I need to check my ego at the door because mess is gonna not make me and he's gonna lob
Yeah, I'm gonna look like a fucking idiot. I mean saying that we live in the time and anyone listening. We're fucking right now
We're living in a time where we have the best footballers to ever grace, right? Don't you think the planet almost?
Yeah
It was with ronaldo with fucking messy and shit bro
It is an extraordinary time to be to be watching football
And I think we won't really be aware of the of the legacy that they've left until they retire
And then we all kind of say, okay
We got a little complacent that messy was scoring 45 goals a season
Ronaldo was scoring 50 goals. Yeah, you know, but once they're gone because underneath them right now
You've got Neymar who didn't really smash in the way that you wanted to and Bappé who's doing all right
You know, you got a couple of like English players that are great. Bakarisaka
Arsenal fantastic player Declan rise, but they're not
these
Aliens like messy words like Ronaldo four blown alien
Just I mean like unbelievable if I'm I watch a lot of YouTube. So during COVID I kind of my attention span got
fried a little bit and instead of watching
Two and a half hour long movies or you know binging TV shows
I was watching a lot of clips on YouTube and very often my happy place on YouTube is just endlessly watching messy dude
Shit where you just like wait, what I do the same thing. What are you doing mess around with physics like that?
You know, yeah, I did a movie last summer with in I wasn't hungry and I
I did one of the actors and they have Charles now nabery not Charles. Yeah, that's his name
And um, and so one night he goes we had we weren't shooting that day and he was just like let's watch the man you
gave me was like some FA cup final or something like that and when they lost
This man. Oh, it's the Europa fine. Yeah, he kicked me out of his room
and he started to cry
And that's how you know and I've met English dudes that don't like it. Don't if I would have asked you I go
What what do you support? You go? I don't like football. I would have probably kicked you out of the
Michael Bisping Michael. Oh, yeah, Michael Bisping did that from Manchester. He's from my city. It's fucking blast for me
Call him out. Call Michael. Fuck you Bisping. I'll fuck you up. You know about rear-needs can take a choke hold
I'll put you in one bra kumura or a twister dude. Yeah, fuck you come on. I'm good. Fuck. I'm not afraid
You're a pussy
You're a pussy. You're weak and I have another Englishman that'll fucking kick you. Yeah, we're from the same city Dominic Monahan. All right
Um, not only got one eye Michael Bisping. Yeah. Have you met him? I've not met him
But I would love to he was UFC champion for a while. Yeah
He's done our show twice and he's just the best. I've got crazy respect for him to to win a UFC title
That's a huge amount of commitment and I watched that night when he won it and he was clearly obviously very emotional
All from Luke Rockwald
That was crazy. Some people will like I have met some people that don't like football. It's usually
It's usually the artistic people
So if if you grew up with someone who's a whatever a singer-songwriter or wants to be in some way involved with the arts
Very often they're not into football, but my dad is a football obsessive. So it just happened for me
Yeah, I'm glad you're that type. I wanted to ask you guys about
Well, it's a great podcast for this because I was talking to a friend of mine about this recently about
being a comedian
nowadays
and being very conscious about
Council culture. I'm sure you've talked about it
Or just in podcasting in general
You know that iconic quote from Andy Warhol that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes
Yeah, I was saying to my friend. I wonder if now it's been revised to like everyone at some point is going to get canceled
I think so, you know, like and maybe it's becoming diluted in well. Builder says it best
You only have to dig so deep to find something to cancel someone over
Especially because we've been podcasting for a decade
Imagine the amount of ignorant shit we said 10 10 years ago. Right. Yeah. I mean
I lie all the time. I say fucked up things. I've done
You know, not only how many episodes of this have we done 300 we have a plus I've done
I have another podcast to do. I've done a lot of those as well. I've done everyone else's I've done radio
I mean, I've talked so many times and obviously you can dig up shit
But it's getting to the point where my friend I can't name his name
But he is a comic and 20 years ago. He did about 15 years. We did a podcast and the host said
Say the n-word
He's like, I'm not gonna ever I never say that word
Just as a joke my fans will you know what I mean? So we just said it like really quickly
But now he he's a writer
He can't get a he can't get a job. That's a black shell. He just can't you know what I mean? And it's like
You know, I've had a lot of problems
You know in terms of cancel culture this and that and I've had to now
you know
curb
What I say, yeah and edit
And it fucking sucks and it's brought me more toward the right
It just in terms of
Here's the thing
We've lost
The word redemption right in our
In our vocabulary, right? There is no way
We're not we can we'll chastise somebody ruin somebody's career, but there's no forgiveness
There's no there's no
Even if I change and I do the work
To better myself or whatnot. There's no room for that anymore. And it's just I don't want to live in a society like that
Yeah, it's very unforgiving. It's so unforgiving
I mean, I think you can be on a podcast. I could be on a podcast like this and say something like
You know
Whatever
I will never say this disgusting word and say that disgusting word in the context of
Saying I will never say it
Yeah, and someone will say he said it on a podcast and now he's cancelled and they'll just clip they'll just clip that word
Which they did be rogan, right?
But you know what he
He he's sort of like what why are you smiling? I'm smiling at you dude because I'm trying to navigate this thing. I see you thinking
I know I know it's formula all over your head because this because rogan is like family to me, right?
Sure. Sure. I don't need show. I like you. Yeah, I like you a lot, right?
So it's like, you know
Some of the things he said I don't fully agree with some of the covet stuff
I don't agree with but at the end of the day, it's like
Even if I saw this I've said this before I saw this girl
In indiana and she was in a grocery store and she's anti-vax anti-mask
And she's kind of spit on a woman that was telling her to wear a mask, right? That's a salt
Yeah, and I think that she should have gone to jail, right? But she got fired from her job. Yeah
And I that's just that's just a step
Too far. It's one thing has nothing to do with the other in my opinion, you know, um
It depends what they're doing for a living
It depends what they're doing for a living like if there if there is an outwardly racist woman calling another
Person a and she works as a teacher in a predominantly asian school like that
Right or work. That's a problem. He works at P of Chang. Yeah
It feels weird. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like
I'm gonna get canceled for
But you understand don't this is what we've been dealing with for the last couple of years
It's so sensitive, but he showed but Drogen showed us a way
To kind of navigate through it. Yeah. I thought that his responses were really good. Yeah on both things
And he's got a massive platform which helps him from a daily
Excuse me from a daily basis. He can keep revising those things trying to improve on those things
I call heat because
When he made that post which seemed to be outside his house where he's like, hey guys
I realized but if I've got in touch, you know, Joni Mitchell left and Neil Young left and that's unfortunate. I'm a huge Neil Young fan
I'm gonna try and maybe educate myself a little bit more on some of these things that I'm talking about
Maybe bringing an expert. Maybe we'll have a little disclaimer at the bottom of my podcast. Yeah
I'm gonna try and do better my bad. Love you guys. See you later
So on his instagram, I wrote and I said, hey Joe
Just want to say that's cool that you held your hands up and said I think I made some mistakes
And I'm gonna try and do better. I applaud that
What happened on my instagram?
People like you're anti-vax. You support a racist person. You did I said, no, no
I don't support some of the things that joe
Said that he supported what I supported is another human being saying I fucked up
I'm gonna try and improve we should all be able to support that. Yeah
The sensitivity in this culture is outrageous and the righteous, but is it like that in England?
Uh, maybe less so than the states, but it's still around and everywhere's influenced by the states. It all starts here. Yeah
Loud influential culture, but I can slightly navigate through it because I can kind of be like well
My job is an actor. Of course. I have a podcast with billy
But like, you know, for the most part I can just be like look
I play characters and my opinion is something that I want to keep to myself
I feel worse for people like you guys and especially people in comedy who are like
I'm on stage
Trying some stuff out and and spitting stuff and seeing what sticks. Yeah
And now people are like, well, you can't be impulsive now because if you see say something
Impulsively upsetting we can cancel you. Yeah
you know
That being said I have done stuff like I had there's something because you know during the pandemic I didn't go up
And a lot of this culture shift happened in that time period in the last three four years, whatever, right?
And when I came back to do stand-up, there was one joke
I can't tell what their joke was, but it's a longer bit
And I kept trying it and trying it and they just wouldn't laugh
I would just eat it
And when I thought about it, I went
I think it's my ego and like I want to make this work. You know what I mean?
But fundamentally the joke
Is mean. Well, it's fucked up. It's fucked up and mean and I used to get laughs
With all these fucked up things I would say on stage and it's just like, you know what?
I need to grow as an artist and I have to be more sensitive because there's no love in the joke
It's just kind of weird, you know, I mean, I wish I could
But um, yeah, it's pretty insensitive to me. It's still funny. Yeah when I think of the joke
I laugh and when I'm doing the joke, I'm laughing because I love it. Right. Just stop
Sometimes insensitive things are funny because the punchline
Is so shockingly insensitive
That you have to laugh
But I think unfortunately we are never living in a culture where people are like, well, we have to be more sensitive about what we
What we put out there and I've also benefited from the culture changing. I'm working more now
I'm so glad we haven't didn't because we're at the end. We don't have to talk about sex in the city. Oh, I wanted we don't have to talk about it
Did you can you separate the art from the artist though?
Can you still listen to old bill Cosby records? Can you listen to michael jackson records?
Knowing what you assume. Listen, I we watch my so my brother
I was just at my parents my mom's house in arizona and I just drove back yesterday, right?
So I was with my brother and my brother didn't see the bill Cosby documentary
Right. So we watch it and he's like, well, he's obviously a pedophile and the I mean a rapist and not a pedophile, but like a bad
Awful, but then I watched bill cosby himself all the way through and I laughed
In there we need to talk about Cosby show, you know afterwards after we were done watching it. I just went into my own room
Yes, that documentary. Yeah that documentary. Yeah, and I you watch some stand-up some old stand-up
Well bill Cosby himself that special is like the white album. Right. It's just perfect. Yeah. It's clean
Yeah, it's the greatest storytelling you've ever seen and the dentist bit is just so
Good, right? So I did chuckle, right?
Um, if I see beat if I hear beat it in a mall, I'll do a little dance
Well, that should be that should be sort of the challenge for someone who really finds like Michael Jackson everything offensive
To just put them in a dance floor with their friends enjoying themselves
And then put on beat it and then see if they're able to just walk off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the challenge
Yeah, yeah, you know, if you're not allowed to dance to beat it
Can can you dance to I want you back?
And he's just a little kid. He's probably not up to too much
Where's the gray area? Where's the gray area? It's
But also we will we do you see the Batman?
Yes, I saw it a few days ago. We won't do spoilers. But yeah, no spoilers, but let's talk about it. Yeah. What do you think?
Well, I'm a fan of the graphic novels. So I like
Year one, I like the long halloween. I like the long kiss. Good night
Which are a lot of what it's based on if you if you read those three graphic novels. Yeah, Frank Miller
Year one
The long kiss. Good night and the long halloween. This is where they try to turn
Bruce Wayne and Batman to a larger degree into the world's greatest detective
So, of course, he'll beat the shit out of you if he needs to but he's kind of a sleuth
He's picking up clues. He's solving riddles all that kind of stuff. That's what I loved about it
I loved it too. There were so many frames in that movie and scenes in that movie that were directly taken from the graphic novel
You know the moment where he's no yeah directly taken from the I got just I got goosebumps
You know the moment where he's walking into the crime scene and one of cups is like you freak
Yeah, it looks over his shoulder. That is straight out of uh year one
Where they're where they're giving uh because it's it's cool
He's the Kate crusader and he's trying to help out the police but the police are all suspicious of him
Is he a criminal? Is he a vigilante type thing?
But that that theme was explored in the other movies as well, but I felt like this one
really nailed it down like I felt
Like he was not welcome at all in any of these crime scenes. Yeah, and it felt like um
I don't know a third enemy almost. Yeah. Yeah, right. You know I mean and I like the noir kind of element of it
Everyone's talking about it being too long. I did think it was about 20 minutes too long
I think they could have like cut a few little moments here and there that weren't needed because you've already told that that beat
So we don't need the beat three or four times after it
And I think if you'd have cut 20 minutes out of it, it would have been sharper and sexier and cooler
I still like a great movie that's long because it's still great
But the other thing is like noir things like china town and you know the early work of
Orson Welles and stuff like that or or like uh, Humphrey Bogart stuff those those movies are slow
They do ask you to sit around for three hours. Yeah, they do
Like slowly unravel a who don't it. It's not a marvel who don't it where it happens in 30 minutes. It's
Yeah, yeah, it's a it's an intelligent piece of cinema that is
Expecting their audience to be patient and they paid their ticket and they want to sit in and be an entertain
So I loved it. I also loved the character of Gotham in that film. It was so much
Gotham
It's raining. It's always grimy. It's always night like Christopher Nolan's Gotham look like Chicago
Yeah, it was it was Chicago and the they might have added some buildings or an arch or whatever
But in this one you could feel a different world. Yeah, it was more menacing Chris Nolan's
trilogy of Gotham is that's Gotham trying to get its shit together
It's not always raining sometimes the sun shines the buildings are expensive the roads have been cleaned
Yeah, the cops are relatively on the up and up everyone's okay
You can walk through the city of Gotham in Nolan's trilogy and you'll be all right in Matt Reeves
It's raining. There's rats. There's grime. The street lights don't work. There's trash everywhere
It's like Gotham itself is sick and it's
Everyone and it's infected the Batman. There's a tangible fear. Yeah to even amongst the criminals. Did you find that like? Oh?
Yes, even with the parts where they're like, uh, you will fear me in the dark
I was like the criminal looking at the dark spots. Yeah, yeah
Yeah, and I got I got we would be like, oh that seems menacing, you know, I mean the way they used something in the way
By nirvana was beautiful. Oh
I want to listen. Yeah, that that was amazing brilliant
That baseline kicks in pushing in on that little kid
Yeah, and you can see Bruce Wayne underneath the Batman mask looking at this kid thinking when I was his age
My parents were killed violently and he's just witnessed his family killed violently and then the fucking
Yeah, and you see like the camera like zones in on him. I thought it was fantastic. I thought Paterson was great
I thought Kravitz was great. Yeah, Colin Farrell and Farrell. Oh
Hey
He's fucking amazing. And also the little penguin moment where they've tied up his feet and he's like, hey
You guys gonna fucking leave me here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing. Let me ask you this being old you two because you guys are happened to be white
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah happened to be when you see, um
A minority cast casting in like a James Gordon, right?
Does that bother you guys? No, no, he was great in that. I think it was perfect brilliant
But I could see some white people going. Ah
Damn Gordon's white. It's like a cat woman's white. You know what I mean? No, I don't feel that way
I think my James Gordon needs to be
The honorable leader of the police force and everything else is up for grabs
Yeah, I want my cat woman to look great in a leather jumpsuit and everything else is up for grabs
There's certain things that don't move with with the cat woman and with James Gordon
But I'm not interested in in color and stuff, you know, wow
Although I think that James Gordon in was it? What's his name that actor? Jeffrey right? Jeffrey right? Yeah, his
Voice was more like the Batman in the Nolan shows. You kind of talk like that
I'm gonna rub him down at the police station. Yeah. Well, he sounds like Christian Bale doing the Batman voice, you know
I thought he did a great job that guy. I'm gonna go see it again. We have tickets for tomorrow
Oh, cool. I'm gonna go see it again when it just starts to
Tape her off in terms of the crowds because I'm sure when you guys went it was packed, right?
Yeah, when I went it was very full
There was a there was a couple on my row that had like a public argument at the end. I love seeing public arguments
It's fantastic
Do you know what I mean when you're not involved? You're just like, oh, this is great. Yeah. So it was distracting
Yeah, obviously no spoilers, but we came to the end of the film
And the guy stood up
And we're starting to get his shit together and you could hear the cougar
And clearly she's saying I want to stay I want to see if they do something at the end of the credits
And he's going no I want to go
They had a little bit like it. I think he liked it, but he was like it's been three hours
I want to get out there. She's like, no, I want to I want to stay. Yeah
So clearly the person next to him was like, could you please be quiet? Like they were literally like talking. Yeah
So then they sit down
Credits roll. There is something. Do you guys stay till the very end? There is something at the very no
No, no, no after the credits or is it? Yeah, it's interesting. Stay stay tomorrow. He never does. He never stays
Stay tomorrow night. I was at a pee
So stay tomorrow tomorrow night. Yeah, is it it's not it's not worth it. It's not marvel. I'll just say it's it's no
It's not like a cut scene like marvel. It's cool. There's a piece of information that you can go online and check out
which is really fascinating and
What is it like?
Five seconds something like that, but there's a little thing that comes up where I was like, oh, shit
I need to write that down on my phone. Wow
It's like you're playing with the riddle the riddle. Yeah, let me ask one last thing about the movie. Okay
Would you I'm not gonna get no spoilers, but there's a scene at the very end the movie in Arkham
Um, right. Yeah, did they introduce a new character? Can I say that?
Sure. We're getting
I don't give a fuck. I'm bleeping this part out. I'm bleeding. You're bleeding. All right. All right
But what do you think of that scene? No, we it's too much sweetie
What kind of out I don't want a one out of 10. I went
Yeah, four
Well, do you know how that person is? Well, I love that. You know who the fictional person is but you know who the actor is
Yes, I love he's I love that. He's great. He is great. He's a fantastic actor. Yeah
I think you'll do a great job. It's an extremely intimidating role to try and
Fill into how do you do? I mean like would you let if they asked you to play the doker?
Would you take it on?
I your penguin was great though, man. Hey, sweetheart. It's so on point. Move over, Colin
I love Colin Farrell's where I'm I've always been really
fascinated and interested in
actors that find themselves
Having a big moment like we all remember that moment that Colin Farrell, you know, he played bullseye in that
Daredevil daredevil and then he's alexander and then he's you know dating britney spears and their unread carpet
So and he had a big moment and he's boozing and drugs and all that kind of stuff
And then he like sobered up and was like, okay, let me just fucking get back on track. I'm an actor
I love acting. I'm gonna take these great roles not that Pattinson seems to have had those struggles with his personal life
But Pattinson clearly struggled to get out of the twilight
Stuff and he did really well with it. Yeah, I'm fascinated watching those things. So in terms of I love
Yeah, you're right. I love when people reinvent themselves brilliant and they and they persevere
Yeah, it's and and with him the lighthouse
Lighthouse. Well, I think that's what a mind fuck. What a great movie. What a good times is great. I never saw twilight
Oh, yeah, it's you know, so when I saw him in lighthouse
I was like, I am aware of who he is, but I just became an instant fan. I'm like, this guy's so good
Did you see good times? No. Oh, check out good times on Netflix. That's one of this the safty brothers
That's the one that blue guys who did uncut gems with Adam sand. Oh, yeah
Yeah, it's before that and it's another like breakneck roller coaster
Movie, he's brilliant in that the guy that we're talking about at the end of the film
He's also been really shrewdly managed or he's made really smart decisions
I'm going to work with this iconic director. I'm going to work with this iconic director. I'm going to be involved in this project
Um, I would have been more into taking a stab at the riddler. I've always had the kind of a
Uh, a thing about the riddler. Yeah the way that I would do it. I can see it. I can see it too. I can see it too, yeah
Joker's Joker's big. It's big shoes, man, and um
It's just too stressful
I think you have to maybe give away a lot of yourself to be the Joker some of those sacrifices that these
actors have made to play Joker. I think that's because
You know, he's a he's an insane person. Yeah, and he's a very charismatic insane person and I think
Actors playing them
Those the Joker roles can sometimes find themselves thinking okay. I'm going to lean into my
Crazy charisma and then it's tough to pull that shit back. Well, that's what happened it. He had ledger, right?
I mean he he died immediately like soon after soon after and um, I think that to tribute
Attributed is that the right word? Yeah to maybe his demise. I don't know kept a crazy diary. Did you hear about that? No
So I think I think his ex or the girlfriend
that he had when
When he died kept all of his diaries when he was in
when he was in prep for the Joker, but he
He basically like locked himself in his hotel room for like six weeks and just kept a diary got room service stayed in
Clearly was playing around with substances and stuff, but he would write down
gnarly
Things that he was thinking about to try and get into the Joker headspace and then just read them back
So it was diaries of like whatever kids with hiv or fucking old man falls down the stairs and breaks all the legs
In his all the bones in his legs type thing
And it would just be lists of awful things that you can think of if you're doing that
Your brain doesn't know the difference right drinking you're alone. You're taking substance. Wow
I I just think unfortunately you got in there a little bit too deep
I mean, I'm sure you guys know it but that that moment where the Joker in do in uh, no one's trilogy comes out of the
elevator at the
at the Bruce Wayne party
And and the first person that he sees when the door opens is Alfred Michael Kane
Yeah, Michael Kane had lines there
But he'd never seen Heath Ledger in the Joker makeup
And he was so shocked and freaked out by what he saw and the performance that he forgot all his lines
And that's when Heath Ledger goes ladies and gentlemen
Wow, that's because Michael kane's forgot his lines and Nolan's clearly going okay
Go on and then he starts and you see Michael kane just go
Because it was such a real organic response. Probably. Yeah, that's amazing. How about what time?
Dude, uh, we're in a rom-com right now. There's a double episode. Yeah, how many it's 90 minutes. Wow
We only do usually dude. I only can do
50 minutes really
No, but oh, you're not you're great with you people who know me well and kind of want to needle me a little bit
Yeah, all right. Don't just no, but you're great at it. Oh, that's very sweet
That's why I have a podcast and I can't wait to do yours and if you fucking but and I'm gonna just take a little risk here
After we're done. Is there any way I can get your number? Yeah, dude. Come on. Well, do the two of you not want to be on?
Do you want to be on? No, he's he's the guy. Oh, come on. Why would you yeah? We come on. Yeah
Yeah, I have very little to contribute
I mean, look, I think you'd be fantastic you have if you want to talk about animals all day
I'm the girl you are of course invited. I'm not gonna talk about the fucking Lord of the Rings the whole time
I was but I think that's the point. Well, no, we don't always talk about we talk about it here and there the only rules of our show for our guests
our guests have to
Suggest an a food item or a drink item that they want us to drink with them on the show
You know, we've done
Matsubo soup and we've done Jardinera this kind of like spicy
Korean no, I want to go chimichanga. We could do any any of those have to be pleasant. No, it can be anything
Yeah, we've done shitty stuff. We did smoked oysters out of a tin one day
Oh
And then we asked our guests to pick a piece of music that they think is in some way funky
And you can use that word however way you see fit and then we will rate it all of us on a level
Oh, that's great funk
But we unfortunately have not had that many
Ladies on our show and we do a weekly kind of look at the podcast and where we're at and last week
We all kind of noticed. Hey, we've had like 10 12 guests and we probably had three female guests
Yeah, we like a little bit of female energy. I'd love you to be how many Asians have I don't think
Any you'll be our first you will I like I like I like I want to pop your cherry
Yeah
How the friendship onion you guys the friendship onion check it out. Yeah. Look at his stupid little face
He's a dumb face. Yeah, nice guy though. So but at the end of our
Dumb dumb. Yeah, it was we do a thing called unhelpful advice
So people email us problems and you can be helpful or not helpful. Okay, but go ahead unhelpful advice with dominic mother
All right, since we uh, I think yeah, don't we'll be able to help us with this one. Hey guys
My name is martin big fan. I really started listening to the podcast about a year and a half ago. I'm hooked
Um, so my problem is my girl won't eat my ass and I'm wondering
Say that again
So my problem is my girl won't eat my ass
And I'm wondering if it's because it might be a little hairy or she's not into it
But I eat her ass all the time and she doesn't ever reciprocate and it hurts my heart
That I might have to leave her or what should I do? Am I overreacting?
I might have to leave her or what should I do? Am I overreacting? Should I try to eat my own ass? Is that possible?
This is never die. This is nothing to do with asshole licking. This is everything to do with reciprocity
Oh, let's work for some. What does that mean? Just getting back what you give. Yeah. Yeah, that's his cup is being drained
It's not an easy test to eat ass all day as much as he's saying he does it
Yeah, but but can I just say something right now?
Let's just compare. I love my asshole being eaten. I don't know. Let's just compare. You're not an asshole eater
That's on you dude. That's on me and I apologize. Imagine how I had to finger my own asshole. You know sad that is
All right, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. I don't know what you're saying right now. I'm just saying you want her on the podcast
It's really wild. No, but I know like here's the thing is is that this nine years of fisting my own ass
Baby, baby, baby, baby. He's making eye contact. Baby. Baby. Don't don't don't like that, baby
Okay, what I'm saying to you is is that I think I feel like a male's asshole. Yeah, it's far more grizzly
Grizzly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, I even in Englishman like this young man right here, right?
That's a man. I feel like his asshole is still on the grizzly side. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Well
I had a grizzly asshole trying to get away from my own asshole
I I feel like
As soon as you move into the bedroom arena and two consenting adults are getting naked
Yeah, I feel like whatever the girl asked for you should be able to at least have a conversation about it
Like, oh, I've never done that before. Maybe you can give me some pointers, but I'd be happy to as long as you're not
Hurting someone and they don't want it. I think you should be able to say I want this and I want that everyone has their own
Right references. I would agree. I think most guys
Feel like that's an area of their body. That's probably a little
kind of private and maybe not
But I here's the thing. Um, I have to say that 95% of all the men I've been with
Enjoy some type of
You know ass play. Yeah. It's a very stimulating erogenous zone. All I'm saying is
Right, but I don't have to eat your ass after, you know, you've sat in a car for six hours
I would ask you to take a shower if that's what you wanted. Yeah. Hey, sweetie
Like this is something that I really enjoy and you're like, all right. That's fine. I'm gonna give it a go
Wash your ass. We're gonna scrub it real well with a brillo pad and I'll get to work. Yeah, and you'll see if
Yeah, I'll put my bib on and I'll get
No need to for that. It's not that I don't have diarrhea
It's also very hypocritical as well, right because I think
Most guys. Yeah, well, I don't know about most guys because I don't ask him but like yeah
I'm like if I if I'm with a girl, I'm like, hey as long as like we're all
We've jumped out the hot tub or we've had a shower or whatever. I'll I'll go anywhere. I'll do any
I'm a fan. Yeah. I'm into that
And I if a girl's like a bit prudish and like, oh, I don't really like that. I'd be like, what the fuck babe
And if she's like, okay, well, will you do this for five minutes and then I'll flip you over and do that five minutes
It's not really my
So I do think it's a little yeah
And also like I'm okay with an ass smelling like an ass
Just oh, hello. I'm not I'm not when you're in the bed. Well, here's the thing an ass is always going to take on
a certain don't get nervous. Yeah. Yeah, it's just it's
I I would hope it's not like grizzly like you say, but if it takes on a certain aroma
That's a natural smelling ass. I am okay with that in the same way that a pussy smells like a pussy
Yeah, but that's pleasant. I hear what you're saying
Okay, the asshole is the part of the body that has the closest relationship to feces than anywhere else
Should have a feces
Yeah, yeah, there's there's a threat for food poisoning. I realized that
I don't want to get some vanilla
What about the
What about the kind of cross pollination that can sometimes happen?
Do you know, I mean, maybe you're like, but I feel like cross pollination can happen
Even when I'm giving a blow job like I've been with guys who've just been so reckless about their wiping
I'm so anti wiping wash your fucking assholes. But all I'm saying is there's some cross. I've you you've cross pollinated
What do you mean?
You're a bubble bee, bro. I'm nervous. What do you fucking mean?
Sometimes you wipe from back to front and you've gotten a certain scent attached to your balls back to front
All back to front, which is a no no. I've never done that. Uh-oh. Well, somehow you had shit on you
She's trying to be polite
Because my fear comes from my remember the dingleberry story
It wasn't my dingleberry to be clear. I met a girl. I'm sorry Sadam. I know it's okay. It's not
But they came up the question. Yeah. Yeah, so um, you should have had him on your animal show
But she had a dingleberry right and I had to flick it with my finger
I didn't say anything right, but at that point my ass days were done
Wait, see when you see dingleberry
No, I love it
I love that's hilarious, but but same as you I would be like hey, babe
Whatever, I've not seen you all day or it's been a while
You know, I'm gonna jump in the shower. You want to jump in the shower after me or let's let's jump in the pool
Or hot tub of as long as you know that everything's all tickety-boo down there
I'm a fan. So basically what he Adam is saying is this guy should be clearer
I don't know. Did he say that he's asked or been clear about? Yeah, I would say I would I guess my answer to him
Which is the same thing that you had said. Yeah, it's a reciprocal thing. I think he's in a very
uh
Easy to manage arena, which is he can say hey, babe
You seem to like it when I eat your ass and you get a lot of pleasure out of it
I might also get that same pleasure too. Do you want to maybe like
Come some way towards making this a 50-50 thing and if she's like, ah, I don't really get off on that
Then he might say okay. Well in that case
Maybe we kind of find something that we could both like right together that or he can slowly graduate there
I oh she can slowly graduate to the ass eating like what are you doing? Sorry. Oh, I know
Like no, no, no lick the tank first
Don't even licking use your hands to stimulate his asshole if that's what he's into
He doesn't have to be her tongue now if he it's require if he's requiring that it has to be her tongue right out the gate
That's a bit. That's a kind of a power play that I'm not really into. Yeah, you kind of are your smiley
I might be into that
But I just feel like he's like if he's giving it like he's giving up a bmw as a president
And then she gives him a lollipop. I just feel like
It's not the same. You're right. I feel like the exchange rate is you know, I mean
I feel resentment for this guy. I think oh, wow
But can I ask another question is that I feel like he's not communicating it correctly
Some I had a friend who happened to be gay
And he told me that there are pleasure points inside the butthole. Yeah, I've been trying for so long
And I've been sticking my finger in my butthole. Let me do it for you. You can find my pleasure. Yes, I can. I've tried so hard
I know you're gonna you're gonna jam your finger. No
And through my asshole you're gonna
Tickle the inside of my dick and then I'm like, yeah, that's the dig
Yeah, it's in and forward. Yeah, it doesn't you can actually access it
Or where is it in the body? Where is in the body?
So it's if you go in and you press forward towards the penis that's usually where it's at not even that deep
But you know I've not had it some girl tried to do it and I was like, yeah, it's not really my thing
But I understand from a scientific point of view. Uh-oh
But you can access it without having without penetration
But you just don't I don't I don't believe you. You know what you should try this. Yeah, this is like you
Slightly move in this arena without getting like fucking internals. Yeah. Yeah, you're like a gamers chair or anything like that
Do you like play I do have a gamer chair somewhere over there. Yeah. Yeah, if you kind of sit on your gamers chair, no, but seriously
If you sit with like an erect spine
And just like slightly rotate around I think I've done that by accident slightly
I'm not kidding. Well, you're like, oh that feels in some way kind of right
So next time I'm playing warzone. Yeah, right and and my friends are like, what are you doing?
We hear this the chair moving, right? I just forget it this and that. Yeah. I might come
Yeah, I might come. Yeah. Thank you for that my English friend. Yeah
Very interesting
I do think he is in a great position though to be able to say hey, babe. I do this for you. You love it
Maybe try doing it for me. Maybe I'll love it and if she's like, uh-uh, then there's like you said there's a problem with communication
Yeah, but also like yeah, if he's saying like eat my ass, bitch, like that is not the way to go
Yeah, right. Yeah, who does that? I'm also like we talk about cancel culture and all that kind of stuff
I'm also very aware now as a single man that like
You have to sometimes hit these like
Consensual markers all the time in people. Yeah. Would you would you like to come back to my house for a glass of wine? Yes
Are you sure? You know, yeah, I'd love to okay. Yeah. Now. It's almost like
Hey, I'm thinking of kissing you that feel and like the romance of all those things because very I mean just from a
Just from a he said she said or she said he said vibe
Yeah, let's say hypothetically a boy and a girl go back to the boy's house
They're drinking wine. They're having a great time. They're watching a movie and the girl
Makes a pass at the boy leans over and tries to smooch him. Yeah. Oh, I'm not comfortable with that yet
Yeah, we don't really know each other type thing. Yeah, okay. Fine. They leave that boy nowadays in our culture could very easily be like
I went to this girl's house
She gave me a glass of wine. Yeah felt a little inebriated suddenly. She made a pass at me
I did not ask for her to make a pass at me or vice versa and yeah, all of those things are true
But it's what at what level of truth that we're talking about is you hear that the the very iconic
black and white image of the soldier in or the naval officer
I think in Times Square. Oh, yeah, who kisses the woman right that woman years later said I did not know this man
Oh, I did not complete stranger to me. Wow
Grab me threw me down towards, you know in a kind of like that dancer kind of yeah
Stuck his tongue down my throat and it became this photo that everyone knew about
Yeah, I personally felt kind of violated now if that happened now
Oh, she could easily cancel that guys. You're right. You're absolutely right. The gray area now is so much more dangerous than it used to be
You know, but don't you feel that the pendulum is swinging the other way a little bit or no?
I feel like it is maybe maybe
But it's so interesting, but you know what at the end of the day
There have been a lot of victims
They have never had a voice
And you know
Like what do you think guys can think of the Elvis trailer?
Oh, the bas-lemon thing. There's a new Elvis
Yeah, it is bas-lemon. Yeah, that is him. Who's bas-lemon?
bas-lemon director
Romeo and Juliet
Right and my brother my brother was sitting next to me and we're watching it and and I thought but didn't he marry a 14 year old girl?
Yeah, yes, he did. Yeah, but what yeah, but would they
I mean, I'm saying is this like
That's not weird. No, they've said it people have been calling it out. It definitely is weird. Yeah, I mean there's
Times change, right and the things that we associate would be a normal change obviously back in
Neanderthal times when we were living to be like 30 or 35
Most people were probably sexually active at like 13 or 12. Yeah, because as soon as a woman is able to have a baby
They're like, well, you're
You're a middle-aged woman because you're gonna die in 15 years. Yeah, so of course
Looking at that culture. You're like, well, that's completely inappropriate, but things change, right?
Yeah, and I think even when Elvis was getting married to Priscilla. I still think because jerry lee louis did the same
It was a cousin. It was a cousin. Yeah, that's a little weird as well
Yeah, bas-lemon is a huge so good. If you look at his work moulin rouge strictly ballroom. Romeo. Oh that guy
Not bad. He's great. It's all romance great Gatsby. It's all great. Yeah. Well, yeah
It's all unrequited star cross lovers. Right, huh? I think it looks good. It does look really good
I'm a big Elvis fan and at first when they I don't you have you seen that actor before I've never seen that
It's nothing. I have seen him before. Yeah, I just know he is venessa hudgens. Yes. Oh, is that right? Okay
Austin someone Disney guys. Yeah, but when at first I was like
I don't know like Elvis, right? But then maybe
20 seconds in the trailer. I'm like, yeah, but he's doing it and then I just bought into it
You know what I mean? And it matures a little bit more into Elvis. He looks more like the 1970s glam Elvis than he does the 1950s Elvis
Yeah, but I still think he looks good. It's gonna be all about his voice. Yeah, if he can if he can pull it off with the voice
Yeah, it's gonna be good. He's a handsome. He is a handsome fucker though, huh? So is Elvis. Yeah, Elvis is
This is where the prostate is. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Yeah. That's all we have to milk. That's all we have to do, man
It's rewards the penis that I would have but that what was so that thing that it's not that far in the middle
I know but can I just ask you something
This what is this what is this prostate? That's your prostate that I would be milking. Oh, hold on
So is it
Go ahead dawg. Well, I was gonna say
Yeah, because I've never had this
I mean, I've had doctors go up there. Yeah, check check stuff. Yeah, what are they? What are they checking that? They're checking your prostate
They are. Yeah checking to see if it's enlarged and stuff. I didn't necessarily feel a great sensation. Although I wasn't a doctor's office
But is it is it slightly attributed with the sensation of needing to pee is that
Is it or is it like ejaculating? So like
I feel like when a female's like g-spot is hit at least mine
I do get that similar sensation of like want thinking that I feel like I'm gonna pee myself
But I never squirt so is so I I don't know if it's the same for men. I just well
I learned about Spanish fly from the Bill Cosby document again
And they say that um, it there's a sensation
You know woman, especially and it's like a and when you pee
It gives off the sensation like it's your horny or whatever
What? Yeah, Spanish flies. It comes from a beetle, right? A real. Yeah beetle. There's a beetle
And I think you ingest some of its wing parts. Yeah, which is toxic and that toxicity
Creates a heat an allergic reaction around your genitalia. You just vasodilate basically
Your blood you just classic vasodilate. Yeah, because that's what allergic reaction is your vasodilated
So the blood flows exactly into those widened things. You know blood vessels
Engorged. Yeah, yeah, pussy's become a little bit more kind of full of blood and then engorged. Yeah
Because have you not seen the fully engorged vagina?
Yeah, yours. Anyway

Where is well, it was a japanese food taiwanese taiwanese taiwanese, but it's really good. We should all go
Yeah, we're huge foodies and um, but we also love going to like Choson or any of these korean restaurants and stuff
Yeah, you korean or I have eaten korean barbecue. I really like it
Um, a lot of meat though a lot of meat
Yeah, I can work it out with some stuff because I could do like mainly veggies. Maybe some shrimp type stuff
Do you go to this vegetarian restaurant? Hope?
No, I don't know hope. Yeah, that's nearby, right? It's one of the best. I think I think hope's pretty good
Yeah, it's one of the best. I think anyway. I don't want to talk about nothing anymore. I don't talk about assholes
I don't want to talk about michelin restaurants. I want to wait, but isn't that weird about michelin?
But isn't that weird about michelin? Yeah, what? Well, we what? What?
Dominic, four more minutes. You're two hours. Okay. I've always just thought this is really fascinating
We all grow up. Yeah, once we start being interested in food and stuff with this like
Oh, hifalutin idea that like oh, he said hifalutin
That's a george kimmel word. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. The um, it's a white word
Let's just say that it is it is. Yeah
That a restaurant is great and and legitimately is great when it's had three michelin stars or two michelin stars or even one
Michelin star is a great restaurant. This is a tire company. It's a company. Yeah, that's right. That is true
And at some point based on their success of being the biggest tire company in the world
They were like, you know what we're going to send frank off around europe and he's going to tell us
What restaurants are great and suddenly that became the gold standard
Yeah, yeah a bunch of chefs got together and did it or a bunch of culinary experts. This is a tire company
Yeah, also their logo is some right marshmallow man. Yeah. Yeah, what is that is that he's made of tires
But he is he white? Yeah, he is white. He's pure white. So why how is he a tire if he's white? I don't know
We don't yeah change the fucking thing. I think it's racist. You should be black. You should be a black one. Michelin
Yeah, yeah, but I'm the same as you guys. I will you know if I'm sat at home at night and whatever
I'm like doing a deep dive into the internet. Yeah, I'll be like, okay
The top 15 restaurants that no one knows about in LA that are brilliant
Like the unexpected experiences with food in LA because LA alongside like new york has some of the most interesting restaurants
I think a lot of the mom and pop
Okay
I am gonna cut out at least five minutes so we don't reach the two arm off. Oh, I lie in the job
Anyway, um
Yeah, but still
I anyway
Yeah, we had two I went two hours
We're we have two more men. Have you guys been to french laundry? You know that I
Yeah, well, no, we haven't been we were supposed to fuck you and fuck you and fuck you and fuck you without doing it
There are two places that I was supposed to
There are two places that I was supposed to take him for his birthday last year
And one was french laundry and the other one was puho in mexico city
Yeah, french laundry clothes because of covet for a little bit. Um, I don't think that I got the
Uh, like the reservation was like too far out. It was way past his birthday, but then I ended up sending him
I I ended up sending him to another place. It was an omacasa place. Um, that um, it's
Was supposed to be like a three because he's into the michelin star. I like the michelin star, but he didn't like
It was the first place I went I went no not for me, right because sometimes restaurants are like, you know, this particular animal
Is very difficult to find so we just cut in half and serve it raw
But that's I don't care about like a purple squid and there's only six of them underneath the rock
You want flavor? I want flavor. I want one. I want to know what they're gonna do with truffle, right?
Anyway, let's I'm done 30 seconds. I'm fucking really?
Are you friendly with patent oswald? Yeah, he's big on
Restaurants, right? He went through a whole tear. All right. I got up. I want to say about patent something
Yeah, okay. Yeah, lovely patent five seconds five seconds, and I want to apologies. I think he's
I think he's mad at me
Because he booked me on his Largo show and it didn't show up. Why didn't you show up because I was scared
Oh, you didn't give him the heads up and I never gave him the heads up and I heard he was mad at me
So I apologize. I was rude and I you should maybe call him in person. Yeah
I want to do it through middlemen. Yeah, which is my fans
The healthy way it's healthy and safe. Do you have his number or is it I do I do call him right now
I mean, dude, that's a professional engagement, right? If I booked someone in a professional engagement and they didn't show up
I would be professional. I'll do your favor. I'll do I'll do something right now
I never thought I would ever do it in my life or facetime. No, I'm just gonna tech. I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna call him now
I mean apologize to someone sincerely. I had bumped into we had seen him here and there every so often
And then I bumped into him in Los Feliz one day with his daughter and I was like, oh, hey, what's up, pan?
I was getting frozen yogurt. He was getting the same and we were chatting and then from there
We started chatting a little bit on instagram and I heard some podcast that he did where he was saying I've been on this
culinary
Search for Michelin star restaurants for like five years and I went I flew to vegas to do this thing
I flew to san francisco and chicago and all this kind of stuff and I hit him up on instagram and I was like, hey
