I say that for all my guests, but I mean it. Especially, once again today, it's the new balance wearing, Apple Watch having, same car driving, green hat having, Anders Holm, a sex symbol, a god, an actor, a producer, a writer, a director. Director?

Do you direct? I have. Director? I'm in the guild. Are you really? Yeah. I don't even know if I'm in SAG anymore. I think they kicked me out of SAG.

I don't even think I'm in that anymore. You're just stage equity? Yeah, I'm in stage equity. Yeah. When I get to a threshold and then they have garnered all my wages, then they start paying me back after all the money I've made from projects that you know we've been a part of uh we've been a part of a ghost project dude it's funny how many people from so many people from this podcast joke like hit up the page of the how i met your father page right about you and me being on it right and tagged me a

thousand times tagged you it was so funny because people are like and i was like don't try to find it people found it we'll find it yeah and it was real bad yeah real bad they found the actual pilot yeah it's all over the internet yeah dude you can it's funny how i don't know who i'm sure an editor was like i gotta leak this it's too it's hilarious it's just too bad good cat well interesting cast it, yeah. And fully recast. I was there only the first three days, and then I was like, peace. And you guys filmed for two more days with a new actress.

Uh-huh. Two new actresses. See? I don't know these things. It didn't make any sense. It was a very, I'm glad it didn't work out. Cheers to us. Yeah, yeah.

And hey, to the new cast. To the new cast, cheers. How I Met Your Father. Father, yeah. Because ours was How I Met Your Dad. How I Met Your Dad, that's right. Already, I'm like, why would you mess with the title? Yeah.

It's mother, why would you do dad, do father, obviously. It is, why would, yeah, sad. Really, really sad. Yeah. We're having some rabbit hole, by the way. This is the Boxer Grill. Hope you enjoy. I do like these.

I know what they call rabbit hole. Huh? Makes you kind of go like a rabbit. At least that's what Bugs Bunny would do it comes with a case of carrots when you do buy it in bulk that would be fucking sick false advertising

isn't that disgusting that would be cool though if I start doing the inventing Anna voice is that are you going to be mad no I love it

I think it's great I love that they had to like get ahead of it and explain it everyone's like this is the worst accent I've ever heard and then you go

this is a true story about a woman with this accent. She sounds that way. What do you want us to do? She actually did a really good job. We talked about it on Bad Friends with me and Bobby Lee Show and I tried to make him do the accent. We're bad friends! There it is. He's bad at accents. So I was like, do the

accent. So we played the clip and he actually did a pretty good job of mimicking her. It's not hard. Well, it is hard to do job of mimicking her. Because it's not hard. It's not. Well, it is hard to do. And she did it great. But there's leeway because it's like you can pick and choose when you're whatever. Yeah.

Because she was raised in Germany. Right. Right. She was like a Eastern European kid, but raised in Germany. And then speaking like American Kardashian. Right. Because there's a little valley in there. Right.

Like it's very interesting. Did you enjoy the show? Yeah. I mean, working on it? Yeah. Yes. And then watching it, because I'm part of,

I was like this other side story that was buried in that apartment, right? Yeah. I went to table reads and I would see everybody perform it, but I didn't get to be on set to see the courtroom stuff and all that. So to watch it was actually better than going,

oh yeah, God, I remember this day. That person who sat next to me smelled so bad. You know, like that kind of stuff. Yeah, when you have those, when you reminisce. It's so funny when people are like, was that fun doing that scene, whatever it is? And then you're like, yeah. Because you don't want to tell them the truth. It was 97 degrees that day.

We were in a car. We couldn't use the AC because of sound. It sucked. It sucked. And we had to smoke fake. You ever smoke fake cigarettes? And they stain your fingers. And it stinks, dude.

When you guys did workaholics. Fake weed. Yeah, fake weed. It's the worst. They call it ecstasy. It's like a brand. You're right. It stinks.

You stink. I remember going home. Because when I did I'm Dying Up Here, we everyone smoked inside the whole thing was filled with smoke and we had to sign waivers the whole time i was like this is good we're gonna die we're gonna die but it was like everyone smoked the extras all smoked um we had a lot of us had to smoke i was a smoker on the show right jake lacy smoked on the show anybody uh just say fuck it i'm gonna pick up smoking because of it yeah no no not even because of it well sure yeah i guess because a lot of people on the cast started smoking or they could not do the the weird bullshit to just be

like i'm gonna smoke cigarettes who fucking cares i mean a few cigarettes were smoked for sure yeah like for sure it was but i think like people who smoked once in a while because of the show smoked way more. They'd be outside on break smoking two, three times as much. There's just staying character. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm staying in character.

I mean, these are American spirits, but you know. Yeah. No, it was, I never, that always bugged me. That's the smell. But yes, we don't want to ever tell people the truth about what's going on behind the curtain. Right. How high were you making Workaholics? were high like three times maybe twice you were busy

yeah busy going hey this scene's not working what should we do instead of being like this scene's not working man what should we do what do we do all right maybe that would be funny the idea that i think what's what's the what's the unfortunate truth about Hollywood when you're working in enough is you're like, this couldn't be as much fun as people think it is because then it wouldn't be good. Right. It's like, film a party and see how insane that gets.

Right. It'd be impossible to create, like, how do you balance chaos? No. You couldn't do it. The only, the way to film a party, if you have like a couple highlights on your phone, like that's it. That's all you want.

And that's all you post, right? Right. You don't film an entire party and then post that online. You post the three things that are like, wow, great photo. Can't believe he jumped off that roof and blah, blah, blah. And she got kicked in the face and lost a tooth. Right.

Fun. That's it. Yeah. And look, they broke my mom's favorite XYZ. Right. We wrote another teenage movie. We just did did it but the rest of it's miserable yeah like the rest of it's really hard and laborious and weird you know what i was thinking the other day is a highlight of like a night out is um that that first piss oh yeah. Where like, it's awesome.

It really is. It's so good. And it's a weird thing because like, let's say like you're going out like looking for girls or whatever. You might score, might get a girl. That's the best feeling of the night, right? If that doesn't happen, the best feeling of that night is definitely that piss that you took in that bathroom. Big time. Next to another guy having the exact same experience. Yep.

That. Yeah. When you audibly. Do you think girls do that when they piss? I don't know. Do women go, oh, God. I bet they do. I just sat.

We sat at a, I stayed at this hotel this weekend. We did a little staycation. Uh-huh. And they had a Japanese toilet where it heats up and all that. You know those things? I want one so bad. Yeah, you can get one i know that it's just like my manager got me one not the full toilet but like the um catchment the seat that goes on from the toto makes that's what i like yeah but the this was the full toilet yeah for people that don't know these things you got to check this out. Toto makes these Japanese toilets that the seat's always heated.

It frequently cleans itself. It's got a bidet function, which it says back soft or front full. Okay. And it also has a drying mechanism. Right. Which smells good. I thought if air is being shot into a toilet bowl, it's going to stink. Right, no.

It smells great. It's like they put being shot into a toilet bowl, it's going to stink. Right now. It smells great. It's like they put something out. And then it also has music. You can play music on there. Oh, I don't have that, huh? Oh, you don't have music? Your manager doesn't like you that much? No.

Adam probably got the one with the music. Adam definitely got it. It's a full symphony. Yeah. A band breaks out. But it's music on this one, and it had a massage function where the seat vibrated a little bit, just enough.

That I don't need. Actually, you know what? If you're constipated, maybe it just rattles it out. If you need a little bit of movement to shake some of that out of you. But I mean, the bidet will- Bidet gets it right out. That could jumpstart. That gets it right out.

I didn't use a bidet until I was like 30-something years old. I was afraid. I had a try at a couple times in Europe, and I was like, I can't do it. I right out. I didn't use a bidet until I was like 30-something years old. I was afraid. I had a try at a couple times in Europe, and I was like, I can't do it. I freaked out. I guess I was 28 or like, right? Yeah, 29 maybe. I went to Japan, and they're everywhere there. Yeah.

So I was like, this is cool. This is new. We move here? I just got so, I was like, I'm a germaphobe not i'm not howie mandel right but i'm like i don't know it's a pipe thing in a water in a toilet and it's for some reason my brain couldn't wrap around it wasn't like i don't want stuff in my butthole it was like water is i don't want that water in my butt sure i don't think right you don't know like what's in the pipes yeah what's it what yeah and it's in your body the amoebas do they clean

the taps at the end of the night? Are the lines clean? No. This is an old keg. I just... But then the first time you really do it, you're like... It's weird that we don't have it more places.

Yeah, in America. Because it's not that expensive. Yeah. I'm sorry. The Toto ones can get expensive. Yeah, the whole toilets are insane. Yes. But the attachments aren't bad. By the Yeah, the whole toilets are insane. Yes. But the attachments aren't bad.

And by the way, the whole toilets that they make, they're too futuristic for the aesthetic that I like in a bathroom. Yeah, they're big. They're big and they're like fucking George Jetson. They're very Jetsony. I was going to say that. They have that like- Not for me.

Yeah, no, you're right. I like an old toilet, new seat. You have a top tank at home? You have the pull chain top tank? Yeah, and there's a gun just on top. and there's a canola just outside the bathroom uh i'll be right out baby hold on tuck in the tuck in the gun um but it is weird uh and this is like the second podcast i've talked about toilets i'm just realizing it's very strange um It's kind of on brand. The slow close toilet seat. Oh, yeah.

Why aren't they all that? I know. By the way, went to Whitney Cummings' house the other day, did her podcast, used her toilet. Beautiful house she's building there. Yeah. Or reconstructing or whatever. She'll never stop building. She's like the Winchester Mystery House woman.

Bathroom, like the powder room that people use. It's a whole adventure. It's just beautiful. Yeah. And then I go for the toilet seat to put it back down after using it slam and I'm like what are we doing here hey rich lady get a soft closed toilet seat once you get soft closed cabinets in your house

once you've experienced those for the first time you're like this is how cabinets are supposed to close slow closed doors on a car I don't get it I don't understand it's not the thing This is how cabinets are supposed to close. Slow close doors on a car. I don't get it. I don't understand. It's not the thing. No, no, no, no. It's to stop it from slamming.

Yeah, but. But why would I want to just close it enough for it to go. It closes itself. What? That sound is. It goes. It clicks into place. Don't want that.

No. Just let me close the regular door. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. No, and you're right about the aesthetics of the toilet. I did say that it took up a lot of room. It takes up a lot of room in the bathroom. Right.

And we just redid our bathroom. Yeah. Nice. We talked about getting a new toilet. Well, we had to redo our bathroom. Our house was built in 1941. And the guy that owned it before us, if you're out there,

fuck you, man. This guy man this guy did he dude he jankily jerry-rigged everything like connected pipe he has a pipe you know your your your street the street uh runoff obviously is down in a way so all the pipes should connect to the y or a v and go down this idiot re-rigged it to go back up, like up away from the pipes. So it goes up and away from gravity and then come back down. So of course we have tons of issues. I have to redo all that stuff,

but we had to read the bathroom because they fucked that up royally. They put in a steam shower and he fucked that up. The guy did a great job. I hope he falls off a cliff any minute now. And anyway, we talked about getting one of those Japanese toilets and we didn't pull the trigger and I'm mad.

It was like stupid. Just pull the trigger and I'm mad. It was stupid. Just get the time. Did you leave an attachment and a plug there behind your toilet? Yeah, it's still there. So it's ready to... We could plug it in and get it going. We didn't do it and I was a little bummed

when I was using it this weekend. October 16th. You've given me some time. Yes, dude. Because of the supply chain. It's going to take a while. I know You've given me some time. Yes, dude. Because of the supply chain. It's going to take a while. I know what's going on, man. I know about the,

I understand about all the ships. Right, right. Actually, somebody told me that the other day, because I'm a big golfer, a guy that I know that works for one of these major brands, don't need to say,

but he was like, oh, dude, there was a shipment, you know. Semi-clubs. There was a shipment from this uh the ship from china and the ship sunk and it has like oh yeah a half of a half a million items not money just items like putter grips putter heads like all this stuff at the bottom

of the ocean is this the one that had over a thousand porsches volwagens, and Audis. Correct. That's exactly right. Can you imagine building your fucking $220,000 Porsche, Taycan, whatever, and it's just gone? It's in the bottom of the ocean. And by the way, it's not like it didn't take 18 months for it to get to where you are. And now it's never coming, and you have to start over. Yeah, dude. It is funny to think. But but also if you're that rich

and you're designing a porch from scratch time you know what is it yeah but like I know what you mean though I'm not that guy but I've built one and almost ordered one before I found that car yeah but like were you genuinely

planning on ordering one I spoke to a guy in Florida. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My buddy who has one who lives near me, he was the one that hooked me up with a guy. So what if your Porsche

was at the bottom of the ocean? As a comedian, I think it'd be kind of a wonderful story. Now I have material. Yeah, for sure. Now I got something to jazz about. It almost pays for itself.

Right. And then when I get it, I can make a video of it like this is my bottom of the ocean Porsche. I just am, I can't do it. I don don't think i don't know and and people always ask uh what kind of car i have and i've told these guys a thousand times they don't believe me it's an it's a nissan it's a nissan right it's a nissan cube and they were like that's not that's a lie

we both drive a cube right he drives the cube yep i've told you that i don't know why reliable um i've always been a nissan guy me too ultima maxima i've had a minder but i now i wanted the cube i just think it was like this most sleek stylish sexy right it's just a great whip dude yeah and on the freeway no noise it's like it's silent it's like a cadillac it's smooth yeah that's actually that's funny you say that that's how my wife calls it my cadillac. It's smooth. Yeah. That's actually, that's funny you say that. That's how my wife calls it, my Cadillac. She's like, are we going to take your Cadillac? And I'm like, you better believe it.

My cube. My cube. We got it. Neil Brennan goes, we were talking about how, you know, we were at the comedy store and there's like so many guys

come in with nice cars. Like the rapper T.I. does stand up kind of now. Okay. Is this, are we still in a bit? I swear to God. Okay.

So he does stand-up all right like storytelling yeah he's doing storytelling yeah yeah like rowdy rowdy piper would do stand-up but it was more like storytelling storytelling shows great but he's been coming around the store more frequently than he used to he would come to watch shows that's awesome but i know it's wild dude and he comes with of course an entourage yeah very nice guy everyone around very cool right respectful doesn't like you know he says hi to everyone he does the thing he's got the And he comes with, of course, an entourage. Yeah. Very nice guy. Everyone around, very cool. Right. Respectful. Doesn't like, you know, he says hi to everyone.

He does the thing. He's got the swagger of a college kid. 100%. Right. And he comes in in a Lambo, and so does the crew. They come in in also very, very nice cars. So like two Lambos. It'll be like a Rolls and a Lambo and the Lamborghini SUV. Do you know what I mean?

Urus, yeah. Yeah. It'll be like five of those things. And Brennan was like, it's just when you see a dude like that drive that thing, nobody gets upset. Right.

He's like, you and I get in there, they're going to fuck us up. Right. And I was like, for the rest of your life, you pull in in a Lambo somewhere, it's over, dude. I'm lighting you up.

Yeah. I mean, look, I think that Lambo somewhere, it's over, dude. I'm lighting you up. Yeah. I mean, look, I think that there is a, there's a, and this is for everything. And I know you, I saw you post some Jordans the other day, some golfing Jordans, right?

Yeah, those are, yeah. And those are fucking sick, right? Yeah, they're tight. But like, I feel like if I wore those, I would get lit up. Really? Yeah, but you, you're good to go.

It's kind of my style well yeah it's a little bit my vibe yeah like i don't know i feel like it it you have to believe it for everyone else too that's so and you believe in those jordans 100 but i feel like if you had like a bentley continental gt with just like the right color and you pulled up everyone go yeah really i think so that makes me feel good because i gotta tell you one of the reasons when i design those porsches when i'm drunk at home late at night i'm like what are they gonna say if they saw me in this what color brown no there's that there's this like it's it's like azul it's like a blue green you know yeah oh is it like bright green no no no no no no no no it's like

um i think it was i think the colors i've designed it azul is that from ghostbusters and i need the ghostbusters whip i have to look but it's like it's like one license plate yes it's uh i'm not afraid of no ghost it's um porsche blue i feel like if it if it you know if the suit fit where's it or whatever. Yeah, but okay, look, this is,

but like Lamborghini for you. Come on. Yeah, that's nice. I know, but it's, it's, but it's,

it's blue, blue. Yeah. Where someone would be like, the spoiler is more of the problem there. Well, that's not, no,

I'm just giving you an example of the color. Yeah. The color. Okay. I just think, yeah, he pulled up in that car and I was like, fuck,

it would be cool to be the guy that was able to drive that car. And then Brennan was like, a guy like that could pull off any car. He goes, he could pull in a hearse. And you'd be like, that is the sickest fucking hearse. And I was like, how come that hasn't, how come no one's copped the hearse? Well, I mean, I do think that like a legit hearse,

that's a problem. I don't think that that would really go. But like a shooting brake, like the Ferrari, what is it? The Luso or whatever? It's like a station wagon Ferrari. Yeah. That's my dream car. That is?

Yeah. And I feel like if I pulled up anywhere in that, everyone would be like, of course. On his home, got a Ferrari. It's a station wagon. It's a station Ferrari. And it would be fine yeah you're right when you say that

if I see you in that car I go totally right I'm not mad at you if you're in a Ferrari California I'm like Durst come on buddy

what are you doing that's a really stupid move right I'd be bummed at you unless I also had on one of those visors that has like

the fake hair coming out of the top and then you know the whole thing is a joke yeah and you go he did it this is good he did it wow yeah he's hitting it out of the top. And then, you know, the whole thing is a joke. Yeah. And you go, he did it. This is good. He did it.

Yeah. He's hitting it out of the park. Let him have it, dude. Yeah. Let him have it. It is true. It is funny to think that like, if you're, there's like, I was talking to Andy Milonakis online and I was thinking, he was trying to get-

You said online? Yeah. Like in a chat room? Yeah. Well, ASL. Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

No, we were, he was DMming about doing the show he was in town from new york and he was like i'm not going to be there long and so it never worked out but in my mind he was like you know obviously i don't have a car he said he's like i have to uber to wherever you are so send me the address yeah and in my mind as i was talking about i was like i wonder what car he would have if he did live in la and had a car out here and with a guy like that it could be fucking anything it could be anything it could be a mini it could be a mini yeah it could be a fucking and he'd make you he'd be like oh you got a mini he'd make you feel like an idiot like yeah i got a mini you know why and then he would have some reason you'd be like pretty legitimate yeah i shouldn't have been said yeah right because he

knows all the specs everything that's cool about it and you're like well i guess yeah he's on some shit i do feel like if i may he would have like like an older Pontiac with like throwback rims, like Dayton's. Ooh, I like that. And then everyone would be like, who the fuck is this? He'd get out and go, everyone would just say, yeah, he's got a Pontiac with some Dayton's. Yeah, I feel that. I totally feel that.

My dad's good friend is a big Pontiac guy and he loved the GT and he bought like three of those things. Right. If I was going to buy a car that they don't make anymore, the Pontiac Sunfire, I'd buy that just because it's like,

you know, like when Mitsubishi had like the, the Gallant maybe or whatever. Like cars that just- The 3000 GT? The 3000 GT.

Yeah. Like cars that just don't, aren't around anymore. Like a Dodge Stealth? Come on. Yeah. That was our era I want that

yeah for some reason it's not a great car obviously they weren't done well because they fucking they're gone you would see them around still

yeah they're gone and you don't but I do want when somebody goes would you have a classic car I'm like the only classic car I could have would be a weird specific

they don't make them anymore because they were unsafe or nobody bought them who made the Fiero uh Ford? no no no that's bought them. Who made the Fiero? Ford? No. No, no, that's a Fiesta. No, yeah, the Fiero was... Whoever made that. It was like, it was like, if you were six years old, you're like, that's a Lamborghini. And then someone would be like, that's not a Lamborghini, that's a Fiero. Pontiac. It was Pontiac. It'd be sick to have that. Yeah. And for people that don't know what that looks like, it's like the most pointed nosed.

It looked like a matchbox car that they smushed a little bit. Yes. It was like before a Mazda Miata. Right. It was pre-Mazda Miata style. Yeah. That's, I mean, look. Beautiful car.

I want, that's, if I get enough money to waste it on stupid shit like that, that's what I want. I want to buy dumb toys that don't exist anymore what is what is a Dodge Stealth or a Mitsubishi 3000 GT of today like what is that what is that car it's really that's interesting I don't know is it like the new challenge like the Challenger that Dodge makes is that the maybe but but those are much more they're so much more powerful now. Those cars are like so... I mean, yeah, the Hellcat and the Redeye and all that stuff is crazy.

Yeah, it's kind of nuts that you think, like today you're like, there isn't kind of like a low-end entry sport. I guess like Honda makes a lot of those little, like the Honda Sport,

they're a little tiny. Oh, yeah. What was the... I don't even know what that's called. The 2000R or whatever the fuck it was. 2000S, right?

2000S. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was... I was in Malibu one time, you know, going to the beach or whatever, getting there early because we got kids

and there was a fucking Honda 2000R or S, what did you call it? 2000S, yeah. 2000S, like, meetup.

And I shit you not, there were 300 of them there. Oh my god. I think I have a video of it on my phone like a year and a half ago or two years ago of just driving through the parking lot and it's like same car, same car, same car, same car, same car for

two minutes of video. And in really good condition. No. It was whoever wanted to roll up. Oh it wasn't like Some of them were were nice condition but others were just like a kid who's like yeah this is a car i bought with 800 from mowing lawns you know i love that um but like i was shocked to be like oh this car has like a culture to it oh well it is funny to see if you look online if you're not a car person you've checked out for the past 25 minutes but if you look online and see the groups and meetups and stuff,

they used to have it nearby. They used to do meetups in Burbank of classic cars and all that stuff. And then it got subcultured where it was imports, exotics, only Audis, only Beamers. And it is cool to see what people put their money into. Some of these guys, they only make so much money a year. All of it goes into that car. Right, right. To me, that's wild.

Because I was so scared. I never bought a nice car. You were scared? I was so scared of buying anything. I was like, I'm not going to fucking put my money in this. I was frightened. I'd stay up at night, quivering. Honors, I almost called you a few times in the middle of the night.

Hey, buddy. I'm so scared. A car is car is a dumping money in a car always scared me bad bad play bad investment yeah they're stupid especially like that's why we're cube dogs yeah i mean look i uh i come back and it just starts up without a problem well i have an automatic starter on mine i can start it from here wow yeah upgrade For the winners. But like being out of town, you're on the road or you're filming, you know, a car just kind of sits there and you're like, why didn't I go for the lower package cube without the self-starter? I think about that. Yeah.

And then I think, whatevs, I've got it like that. Wow. That's what I say. Damn. In here, we pour whiskey this episode of whiskey ginger is brought to you by rabbit hole distillery baby and they're one of a kind kentucky bourbon and rye whiskeys let me tell you something about this little right just a little rabbit jump on over to a local liquor store and grab you some of the stuff it's actually

really good sauce uh i've been sent a lot of Bourbon over the years, and I've got to tell you, this stuff is high quality. I actually very much enjoy it. They've got four distinct whiskey expressions. They've got the Cave Hill four-grain triple malt, that high gold high rye, which I love, the boxer grail, that's the sour mash, and also that Derringer, which is finished in sherry casks, which I think is very, very cool. It's very unique. A lot of these places claim to be small batch. That's like a common phrase you may have heard if you're in the whiskey bourbon world and that's probably not true that could be thousands of barrels who knows this rabbit hole these cats they do it

extreme small batch that means under 15 barrels come on they could fit in this room it's pretty impressive the quality is in every single bottle and I'm starting to see a lot of these brands out there say toasted specialty releases. Every single one of these rabbit hole expressions is aged and both charred and toasted. Okay, with these toasted barrels. It's pretty delicious, and it's never chill filtered like it should be. So rabbit hop your tush over to grab some of this at a liquor store near you. It's absolutely delicious.

I want to thank you, by the way. Every time I've been on the road and I go to Madison, you always give me some love on the internet.

Yeah. Because you're a Madison kid. Yeah. You're a badger boy, as we call it. Yeah. And I love that place so much. And every time I go, it is one Midwest town that makes me feel the most at home. Because I'm like, oh man, this is everything I love about the Midwest.

When it's nice weather, I love running around those fucking lakes. I love going out on it. We went out on a boat this last time. And then when it's the winter, it's beautiful to get drunk in that little town. And it's walkable to the max. You want to hit seven different bars? You got it around the capital there

are you staying at the what the fuck is it called not the gateway it's so funny that I don't know the name and I see it in my head it's on the lake right there it's not the continental the Edgewood

Edgewater it's like way too nice I'm like this is Not the Continental. That's a little... But yeah, the Edgewood. Edgewater. Edgewater. Edgewater. You say the Edgewater? It's like way too nice. Yeah. I'm like, this is awesome. It's for out-of-towners. Yeah, but like still.

Yeah, no, you're right. Because it used to just be a nice hotel that was not... It was very small. And it was kind of just like overlooking the water. Somebody told me that and they rebuilt it, right? They rebuilt it. And I went back many years ago to like give a speech

or something like that and they put me in the presidential suite and I was like, this is massive and nice and there's a fucking like full kitchen

and dining room and stuff. This could be New York City's most expensive. And people that don't know, when we took out on a boat on the lake, what he's talking about

when you go out on a lake and these beautiful houses that are on the water, a bunch of them are fraternities on one side yeah and the frats that have lake houses yeah that's in i wasn't in a were you in a frat no i wasn't in one at asu because asu was enough of a party where it was like i don't know if i needed it yeah it was insane yeah but if i was going to be in a fucking fraternity at a school, it would be at University of Wisconsin. It was unreal. You know what? I mean, yes, it was.

I'm 38 years old. I was like- You're ready to throw it all away? Dude, they were like, pull over. I was like, let's do it, dude. I wanted to so bad go party with these guys, but I ended up in the paper blacking out with college kids. I was like, this is not a good look.

In there. Yeah. So what's cool about Madison that you it's also so big and there's different like circles that you don't have to go greek like at indiana or michigan where iowa iowa there's less to do because it's a capital city so like there's a little bit more um but yeah i delivered kegs. I worked at a liquor store my senior year, and I would deliver kegs to these frat houses,

and I was like, oh, I've never really been back here and seeing that you guys are just killing it. On the water. They went out on a docks. They had those big floaty trampolines. I was like, if I had this as a college kid. Here's the dirty secret is that they access those for like

just the summer when you're not in school and then it's winter time and they're like we can't go in the water right there's nothing there's nothing to do

the view is still beautiful but nonetheless you're right it is only a little small chunk of time in the Midwest where you can like enjoy that shit

but when you do there's a little that little area called that what's it called? Like four foot bay or three foot bay or something like that.

I don't know. I can't think of the name. The terrace there? No, there's a little area where it's like everyone stands. It's like we parked a boat and we just stood out there. I don't know.

I never boated much. Oh my, well, I mean, I only went because we had a, the two lovable, well, the lovable family

that owns that club. Yeah. They had a boat and they were like, do you guys want to go on? I was like, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course I want to go on a fucking boat. Yeah, in Lake Mendota.

Right. The area is called, I'm telling you, it's like three foot bay or some shit. I don't even think he went on a boat, guys. Also, look at how- The people who own that club. Look at how cute I am.

I'm like, with jet ski. Ain cute i am on my jet ski ain't nothing wrong with the jet ski huh we had dude it's crazy it's just like jet skis are closest you're gonna get to dying and living your best life at the same time you're god yeah on a jet ski you're god if for for only for an hour you're god and i don't even need an hour i need like 15 10 yeah you're right you're right i took it out forever though yeah because i was like a kid when do i get a fucking jet ski? We live in LA. No one I know here has a boat or water access.

Yeah. So someone's like, hey, the beach. You're like, yeah, I go to it. Yeah. And that's about it. Right. No one I know goes in the Midwest. And sharks.

Fuck that. Yeah, fuck that. I want a freshwater lake. In the Midwest, everyone I know has someone that has a boat, someone that has water equipment, a pontoon, a fishing boat, a speedboat. Right. Out here, you're like, I don't fucking know a guy that owns a boat someone that has you know like water uh equipment a pontoon a fishing boat a speedboat right out here you're like i don't fucking know a guy that owns a boat no i've never out on one adam adams has a boat got a boat he has a dock he lives down in orange county i know he lives well he used to live in the south bay right in in manhattan or something like that no he always

was down in um he's in oc whatever the fuck it's yeah i know right. No, I don't know why I thought it was a South Bay because I never go down there. Yeah. I refuse. South Bay is nice though. I went to his house when he lived up in the hills. Yeah,

he still got that. That I was fine with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But if you're asking me to go south of the airport, I'm like, I got buddy.

I'll let you know when I'm going to go and we'll make it a whole picnic. We'll like bring food. All right, please. We'll hit up Portillo's on the way back. Oh. Down in Buena Park.

God bless Portillo. God bless Dick Portillo for moving out of Chicago, retiring in California, and building the only one outside. Actually, I heard there was more now. Somebody told me they're in Arizona, maybe. There's more than one. I thought you were going to say Pasadena.

I wish, dude. Of all places they would put it up here, it would be probably Pasadena. I think so. I'm going to reach out. Or Eagle Rock. Dude, let's open one together. Fully. We'll be the next, what, Joe Montagna had a place here in the Valley called

Taste Chicago. Yeah. It was bad. Yeah. I remember going there, like, first thing you do, so, obviously, from Chicago, you have an eating problem, and you come to LA where no one eats. No food. And you have to find these places. Yep. And I went there, like, week one. Same maybe one month one yeah

and the pizza was not chicago style it was like the sicilian kind of square whatever which i don't like not good and the hot dog was trash but did you go to um it was off woodman and it was in a convenience store and they had decent hot dogs. And then it closed. What was that? Fuck. I can't. The only place I ever got good hot dogs was Marty's. Shout out to Marty's on Pico next to the fire station.

It's still there. They do Vienna beef hot dogs. God bless Marty's. I used to, when I was a PA, I ate there every week. Just west of the Fox lot? Just west of the Fox lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's Marty's.

I would go there all the time. On the south side of the street right you can get a hamburger with a split hot dog yes the combo and I was like yeah it's okay

yeah but it's worth it just for the story like who else does it it's just like what I would do when I was back home was like you want to be real gross yeah cut a hot dog

put it on a burger yes to Marty's but no I do wonder why more Chicago spots don't try out here. And then I think, because there's a lot of Midwest people. Yeah. But it's just impossible to sustain that kind of food out here.

Hot dogs are not desirable. And everyone who's moved from the Midwest, they're like, I moved here to move on from that. Yeah, you're right. I'm still holding on to the old days of having heartburn. I like waking up at night like my wife like that my wife who i grew up with um from in evanston wait a minute you guys grew up together yeah i didn't know this i had no idea she's an evanston girl okay a homie so cider we we started eating at masa which is a chicago style echo park it's very good yes and at one

point she was like we should just make this like our friday night thing and i was like i love you yeah but you realize we will die if we do that like you can't eat this every week you get maybe that's a that's the whole joke i've talked about on this show ad nauseum chicago people eat deep dish once a year yeah people when new yorkers are like chicago pizza you're like first of all tavern pizza is what we mostly eat, square cut pizza from a tavern. That's thin crust. That's probably tombstone that they just bought. It's home run in pizza.

Yeah. But it's like, that's the pizza we have when we go home. Right. We have deep dish for, you know, Gino's East opened in the Valley in Sherman Oaks. There's one. Yes, yes, yes yes yes yes and i went there with jonathan sadowski actor chicago kid really good dude and a bunch of his buddies were trying to go every sunday yeah but the vibe wasn't right yeah the tvs are small and they had

music on and i was like put on the game right what are we doing yeah and then it just didn't mesh and i got busy i couldn't go i was out of town but i told him i was like you're going every sunday he's like it's getting exhausting still no no no no no this was when it first opened yeah yeah yeah but it was like football season he was like we gotta do we gotta make it a thing for chicago people and i tried and i was like it was a zoo when it opened oh it was insane i remember being you go now though there's no line i'm sure i'm sure yeah and like uh honestly we had it and we were like, I think we like Masa and Echo Park better. Yeah, well, yeah.

And no shit on those guys, but it's hard to do here what they did there because they don't got the stuff. Well, what's funny is when we first had Masa, my wife took a bite and goes, no, I don't know.

And I was like, I think it's pretty good. And then we kept eating and she's like, yeah, alright, it's good. And I go, you know what the difference is? This is like leaves of spinach. It's not like canned spinach. Which is what it is in Chicago. It's just like right out of the can, out of the pie. Here it's like leaves from a farm.

Not a hundred miles away. That's true. It's too fresh. That's the problem. Here it's like leaves from a farm not a hundred miles away. That's true. It's too fresh. That's the problem. It's too fresh. Yeah, too fresh. The sodium level's way too low. Yeah, masa,

the subtitle, masa, too fresh. Way too fresh if you're a Chicago guy. But the guy who runs it robs the Chicago guy. So like, it's coming from a good place.

It also looks like a grandmother's house. Exactly. It's got that like super homey vibe, which is why I like the Valley.

Super homey. I'm going to start calling you that. Super homey. Yeah. Super homey vibe. That's my next special. Coming out on

what platform? Who knows? God, please. Who knows? Please do that. Please name your next special super homey vibe. Super homey vibe.

That will be like when you pull up in an Aventador. I'll get shit on for be like when you pull up in an Aventador, you know, I'll get shit on for the rest of my life. What platform will it be on?

God knows. Are you working on something else right now, by the way? Are you shooting? I shot a couple things. I did a movie with Sebastian Maniscalco.

Boo! Love that dude. That was fun with Robert De Niro's in it. What? Second time working with him. No big deal. Do you call him Bob? Yeah, I mean, what are you going to call him? Sir? Sir De Niro. Mr. De Niro? Yeah it. What? Second time working with him. No big deal. Do you call him Bob?

Yeah. I mean, what are you going to call him? Sir? Sir De Niro? Mr. De Niro? Yeah, you call him Bob. I'm a bitch. I'd say Mr. De Niro for sure.

Here's what's crazy is that you meet him and he's the most regular dude. He's like a hugger. Is he though? Yeah. Robert fucking De Niro. Here's what I'll say. He's a regular dude on set to you as an actor working with him sure then of course i'm sure he gets on the fucking horn and buys another hotel at some cut

throat price right and then he turns around and goes hey that was a funny take or whatever you know yeah yeah he's very he's like such a team player you know what i mean like he like he reads when he's off camera type of shit? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's not a guy who's like,

are you on my shoulder? And they go, no, we don't see you. We're like, he doesn't peace out. Because people don't know that, but a lot of times this is something that,

you know, I think some people know this, but sometimes when the camera's not on you, it's called your coverage and when it's over your shoulder, a lot of times, not to name names, but some people

will just fuck you off and they'll leave. And then you'll have like a script supervisor or another actor, which is the most weird shit. Yeah. You're like, what? Doesn't help you at all. Yeah. Because now I'm going to stink it up a little bit.

Right. And at home, people are like, the vibe was often that that would felt like a weird scene you're like right but they're not gonna be like you were bad they're gonna say the they're not gonna say that the the star actor was bad they're gonna be like you look like shit santino fucked that up like i read with a tennis ball i was reading with a tennis ball on a c-stand most but actually you know what i just did a thing with kevin hart yeah i did a movie with him bro just did a thing with kevin hart yeah i did a movie with him bro best tennis balls best tennis we're talking pen kevin has two identical and i quote this identical look-alike stand-ins these two dudes look exactly like him they're the exact height it's scary from afar multiple

times i thought that was kevin right and i would walk up like yo whoa fuck my bad how are you no but they're really cool dudes so i've gotten to know them but i was like right i mistaken that he's like it's all good i knew you he's he goes i can feel your energy you thought it was him because i was like you're like joe i was gonna i was like i know i have super homie vibes but like stop i know i'm a super homie dog but no because i was gonna ask him something about the scene but then it turns into like oh what's up bro. Yeah.

But he read every time when he was off camera. Yeah. I'm not even I'm not phoning this up for the sake. He his stand-ins were only there

for when we're not shooting. Right. And when we were shooting it was never on him in a few things. Yeah. Still was there. Yeah.

I was like that's really fucking cool. I mean it's funny that we're like it's really cool that you're doing the minimum required like the job yeah the job and some people are like i don't have to yeah a lot of people don't do it dude i haven't worked with anybody like that um besides blake anderson that guy's a real piece of shit dude the entire business needs to know that guy is the biggest diva i've ever met in my life. And it has to stop. I will say that like at a certain point,

there were times where like I knew, like I didn't care if I got anything from like the dudes on a certain scene. You know what I mean? If they're like on their phone a little bit. I was like, I don't care. But you guys have worked together so much at some point.

Exactly. It's over. Right. So no one has ever done that move to me besides Blake and Adam. uh and like i'm sure i've done it to them sure yeah you're texting your wife about your kids like no i'm probably just looking at like instagram or like checking the news hoping there's like uh like a school shooting or something should i buy this nft you know like dude we're in the in the middle you

know i i met i met you after I met Blake because I'd known Adam from stand-up for years. Right. But he brought, I'll never forget, I have a bad memory, but some things, I'll never forget,

he brought Blake to the improv. And... It's getting real. I was there with Swartzen. Nick Swartzen. And, who was it?

There was one more guy with us. Oh, whatever, but... Tony Swartzen. Adam, Nikolai Swartzen adam uh uh nikolai swartzen his russian cousin uh-huh i shouldn't say talk about russia on this pod this will get demonetized getting hot but then he walked up and he goes this is my boy i introduced myself and i was like you are you stand up and adam like cuts him off before you can say anything he's like

he's a comic he's a great comic he's an actor and a writer right and i was like okay and adam was being weird about it assuming i would be like oh you're not one of us right right right we were young stand-ups yeah i was like no good to meet you man yeah i was like are you going up and he's like no dude he's here to just he's kicking it we have a show we just did a show with comedy central blake shut up i got he did dude he walked all over blake so i didn't hear i didn't even know what blake's voice sounded like yeah because he never even got to talk. Right. And then Adam was like, you'll see,

it's a show that's going to come out. He was excited, I could tell. It was like, he was really proud. just pre-Workaholics was going to come out. I think you guys had just done it. Okay, cool.

Like you had just shot the show. Yeah. It hadn't aired on Comedy Central yet, but he brought him to the club. But I remember Adam was like a proud dad a little bit, but didn't want to let his son talk.

Right. Yeah. You know? Yeah. He was like, that's most dads, right? Yeah. My dad, but didn't want to let his son talk. Right. Yeah. You know? Yeah. He was like, that's most dads, right? Yeah.

My dad, I don't know. He's like, let me take care of you. You're going to sound dumb if I let you say something. Wow. But he was such a nice,

Blake was so nice when I first met him and I thought, I wonder if that, whatever they're doing is good. Yeah. And sure enough, what you fucking scumbags made

was amazing. Thanks. And I'm serious. You know, over the years, I've told you, I just, it was cool to watch funny guys that I liked make something work.

Right. Because it almost doesn't, no, fuck that. It doesn't happen. Right. How about it doesn't, you hit the lottery. Yeah. No, for sure. I mean, like, meeting the dudes and riding their coattails,

beautiful thing. What do you mean? What does that mean? Well, just, like, coasting on, like, and look, I'm not saying that, like, I fully coast on their coattails. Beautiful thing. What do you mean? What does that mean? Well, just like coasting on like, and look, I'm not saying that like I fully coast on their, uh, coattails,

but like having each other to like lean on and like, sure. They pick up the slack where I'm slacking and I pick up the slack where they're slacking kind of thing. Like it was fucking great. And when we sold that show, I was a PA, like a office PA for real time film are,

and we'd filmed like the pilot. And I brought it in to show the writers and I was like, hey, I had like a bunch of DVDs pressed and like gave one to each of them. I'm like, or maybe I just had one. And I gave it to like the guy I liked the most and was like, hey, at lunch, like if you guys want to watch something, like

throw this on, you know. And then just to like get like notes. And I was like like if you guys like have thoughts or whatever and after lunch a couple of them came to my like uh desk and they were like it was pretty good dude like that that's legit we were all laughing if a writer says that yeah writer's room yeah who's already cynical and annoyed that they have to stick a set in a room all day and by the way this is, it's workaholics. It's like dumb, dumb, dumb, right?

Like the pilot was called Piss and Shit. And these are writers for Real Town Phil Marr, which, you know, obviously they're like, they can make a dick joke with the rest of us. But like, they're talking about world issues and all this stuff all day. And they're like, yeah, this is fucking cool. Yeah, because that's what they like too at the end of the day exactly at the end of the day

we're all piss and shit guys we just you either are Trevor Noah piss and shit guy right or you're me piss and shit

yeah i because the you know i said this to my buddy chris o'connor who i do who features for me yeah that we said this in the car one time the truth is too late whatever his truth is it's too late right they already judged you right and even if you go dude that's not how i repeat that's and they go it's too late yeah we already are mad at you yeah i mean it it's yeah i mean it's uh the guns are pointed at you when you talk on those platforms about stuff that's like even a little risky yeah anything yeah so i like to just stick towards the comedy bullshit yeah it's just so much easier to just but you know nissan's gonna come at us you know what and give us some cubes okay so i'm saying

i'm sticking with my kid i know micah nissan which is mark nissan's son and micah shout out and micah him and i are on good terms right now. So, if you're looking to get a hookup on your, on your CUV. I'm trying to get a Leaf, maybe. Oh,

yeah, those are sick. Those Nissan Leafs. Would you ever go electric, by the way? Oh, yeah. You would?

Yeah. We thought about it. Yeah. My wife's electric. Oh, she is? Fully robotic. She's like,

I'm going to go under his dinner. It's ready. Yeah, I like, I, we got dinner, it's ready. Yeah, I like, we got an electric, I like a nice, It's a Tesla, isn't it? Yeah, they are.

But I like a combustion engine, but, you know. You getting scared of the future? That you're like, I'm gonna be the gas guy and no one else is gonna be the gas guy? Oh no, I don't give a fuck.

Yeah, okay, good. I mean, look, you've seen the fuel one else is going to be the gas guy. Oh no, I don't give a fuck. Um, I mean, look, I mean, you've seen the fuel economy that our car gets. Um, it is crazy. Uh, no,

I don't care. But like, um, I, I just kind of like, I like where the new cars are going and every car company is going there anyway. So like, you know,

in six years buying a like sick gas car is gonna be very hard yeah no maybe in eight years eight years to buy like an awesome combustion engine car will be like a trade-off because you're gonna look at the electric cars and be like fuck that's well there's probably the market's gonna have so many like rivian makes cool shit now we ordered that boy you did oh yeah yeah the Rivian makes cool shit now. We ordered that, boy. You did? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Rivian's really tight.

We're waiting on that. The SUV or the truck? Waiting on the SUV. It'll be like a year probably. That's what they said. I think that looks cool. A guy I know just got the... Man, they send me ads all the time.

It's like Tesla's direct competition now. They are all electric sedans. The Lucid Air. Lucid, yes. And like, I get it, but all I'm waiting for is like, it's like Tesla's direct competition now they are all electric sedans the lucid air and like I get it but all I'm waiting for is like the next generation of the phone to come out I'm with you like I don't want this one

I want the the new Range Rover which I think looks pretty sick and in two years it's going to be available all electric now it's hybrid years, it's going to be available all electric. Now it's hybrid, right? It's hybrid or just gas. And I'm like, whoa. This ghost has been doing this.

I'm not kidding. We're talking about electricity. This happened last time on a weird topic and the light went out. Wow. Are you scared again? Honestly, I am a little bit. Because the person that used to be in this office died in this office. I'm not kidding. Doing what?

Was an interior designer. Oh, so that answers my question. Killed themselves? Yeah, yes. Let's just say they were an interior designer. Or did they interior decorate the walls? They decorated the walls and painted with blood. It looked really cool.

It was kind of avant-garde, you know? It was very neat. No, the future of.... It looked really cool. It was avant-garde. It was very neat. No, the future of... The future of electric... I'm just waiting on the next gen. Yeah, I know what you mean. You want 600 miles per charge, right? Yeah, dude. I want to go forever. Because driving to Mammoth

right now in my wife's car... Look, we got kids, so stopping every two and a half hours for like 40 minutes kind of works because you're like get out run around let's go in here and eat because they're already annoying you by that time yeah and they need to get out just fucking like shake it out um and then driving back down what's fun is you get like the mileage right because it like regeneratively charges right because it goes downhill the whole way so you only got to charge once on the way back,

which is kind of like... That is kind of wild. It's a fun time. Yeah, I never thought about that, that you get all the benefits of going home and you don't have to stop because you want to get home faster. You got to get home faster.

You're like, I fucking want to get the shit out of this car. But like, man, what they call infotainment in some of these cars is just so much easier than, definitely not easier than the Cube. The Cube is the illest. But, you know, all that stuff.

Like, I enjoy, like, a good drive, something that handles well, like a Cube. But I'm being seduced by, like, the infotainment. And, like, I'm inhaling dust. It's something from the ghost she does that but like i'm being swayed by all this this interior entertainment bullshit you know i mean yeah yeah i like i i like i like because the the cube came with such care on the inside yeah attention to detail yeah i like that's nothing you would nothing rattles you know it's all tight yeah

it's all very tight it's funny that when i think about like your car versus your wife's vehicle like there's a lot of families that do this this guy on my block literally has like an extremely nice fast car and his wife has tesla also a very nice car right but you're like this is so you don't feel as bad right you know you're like my mom and my dad like my mom is the tesla because she's sweet and my dad is the bully right it're like my mom and my dad. Like my mom is the, Tessa, because she's sweet and my dad is the bully. Right. It's like my mom will go to church

and my dad is like, you guys got to go with her. And it's like, why don't you have to go? Right. Because he's feeling up. Because I'm going to hell already. It's too late.

Yeah, dude. I don't need the, I don't need guilt out of you. I love it. No, but I don't, I just don't want it yet. But I will be, because I know I've talked to

so many of my friends like, dude, you got to get electric. Not so much better. And I'm like, my house has an electric. The guy that lived there, the only good thing he did was put in one of those ports. Right. Because he had the Beamer, the tiny little i3 or whatever it is. Trash. Yeah, dude.

It's the garbage. Now you know what kind of guy this guy was. That's not a good car. Now you know who this guy was. By the way, that is, I love what they're trying to do. That car's trash, though. Yep. You're better off getting a Cube, for sure.

But the Volt or the Bolt, either of those, like the Chevys. Yes. One of my listeners who drives that car right now just turned off. It was like, fuck these guys. Yeah. He's like, that's my dream. That was my absolute dream car absolute dream and what's crazy the other plug-in that bmw made the like sports car looking one yeah it looks amazing it does look cool trash it's garbage yeah swing and a mess yeah it's sad yeah it's sad and you know what nice try bmw nice try good luck yeah although

i do want one of those little, I've always wanted one of those three-series station wagons. Yeah, those are cool. I love them. I'm like, God, that's like, if I only had a car, like if that was like the nicest car I ever had, great. What's the most spoiled? Look, you've had a long career of success.

You're killing it still. You got a little bit of money in the bank. What's the thing you bought that you're like, this is embarrassing, but I don't care? I bought my wife two men for her birthday. Keep going. I'm not going to let you stop. And I got to watch.

I had to pay for that, though. What have I spoiled myself with? Yeah, what's the thing that you're like, come on, this isn't stupid, but I don't care? And if people find out, maybe I'm embarrassed, but I'm also fine with it. For sure, the Cube. Yeah, the Cube, for sure.

The Cube was a fun buy. I got like a, my wife gave me like a Rolex. That's hot. Yeah. Have you ever taken a private jet? Out of your own money? No. Okay.

No. No. Flown first, which by the way, it's just so crazy. It just seems like so much money out the door so fast. You know what I mean? When you go to Vegas and you're like, I'm going to get wild. I'm going to put $250 on black roulette we just got here. And you just lose it immediately.

Immediately. And you're like, worth it though, right guys? Like, let's keep this train moving. And you try and pretend like it didn't bother you, that you just, it just vanished. Do I get to get it back maybe?

Get out of here, bud. All right. Never. I, we flew private down to the Caribbean to do Shark Week, me and the dudes.

That's sick. But that discovery pays for that. But they pay for that. I've never pulled that trigger. I could never. For people that have no idea, an approximation would be anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000 an hour. That's what I've heard. It's $10,000

an hour. Just about. $10,000 to $12,000 an hour depending on where you're going. I was like, no! That's crazy. it's $10,000 an hour. Just about. 10 to 12 grand an hour depending on where you're going. Right. I was like, that's, no, no, that's crazy. But I know guys that do that shit.

Yeah. And they don't give a fuck at all. They're like, totally worth it. I'm like, I guess if you have that, if you have it like that. But do you know anybody who shouldn't

that still does in your life? Oh yeah. I can name two people. Are they the most fun people you know? Yeah, they're pretty fun. They're both really fun. That's what it is. Yeah, they don't give a shit.

You can't get buried with it. Maybe you're like me like that. I didn't grow up that way. I grew up a little bit more like, maybe a little bit more conservative with the way you live. Right. It's just a smarter move. But some people grew up where they're like,

you got it, throw it away, fuck it. And they do. And somehow it just, they're all like, what's his name from Californication? Hank Moody. I don't know. I never saw it. You never saw that show?

Californication? No. Really? No. With David Duchovny? Yeah. Never watched it. Wow. Worth it?

It's like a professor's like a sex addict, right? It's Entourage. Sex Addict Entourage. Oh, okay. It's the exact same show. Yeah. It's just like. Didn't love

entourage either but you know what i mean by that it's like hollywood chaos so he was in hollywood yeah he was a writer in la oh i thought he was like a professor i don't know never saw it he was a t he was like a author and then he got like a book deal came to la i mean hollywood wanted to buy him out he was a sex addict writer manic author and it's fun it's good I like Duchovny he always fucking kills it it's just like

it's a window into a world that isn't real yeah you know a guy that's he's like buys a Porsche because he got 10 grand cash he's like well let's get an old Porsche right right right

what are you talking about yeah it's that guy that does that shit yeah I mean I I want to kick it with these guys because anybody who just blows through their money like that, you're like,

let me watch it. Yeah. Well, let me watch it. But also like, can I join you and just experience it for a second? Yeah. Um,

you've been a part of that world being in Hollywood. You've been around people that are, yeah, but like, I don't know. Like I've been to parties where you're like, Oh my God. Yes.

I, I, I have gone to a couple of parties where I've, where I've been like, you don't know like i've been to parties where you're like oh my god yes i i have gone to a couple parties where i've been like you don't have this money but then i go but god like they're they're putting out the idea that they do have that money by having the party yeah and everyone come everyone who has the ability to maybe pay them through like where they work, sees them ball out like that, has a good time, and then goes, hey, we got this thing we want to, and then they're in.

And they go, we better get in business with this guy. He's doing really well. It's, it's, it is the fake it till you make it thing. It's, I mean,

I'm inventing Anna, and it's like, No, literally, I was going to say, that is genuinely the story of your, of the show, is like,

that girl was a, a genius when it came to say, that is genuinely the story of the show. It's like, that girl was a genius when it came to understanding money begets money. Success begets success. As unnatural as people think that process is, because internally you're like, I don't want to be that. That's nuts. No. I don't want to fake all that stuff. Because what if you get caught?

But you know what's crazy about those people? Those people don't get caught. They don't care. And if they do get caught, they just deny it they're like what so what who cares they're like they're like what is that what is it weird you're being weird about me exactly yeah how are they so good at that i don't know because they don't have a conscience i think it's so it's it's it's sociopath but it's because it's like manipulation of emotion of people where you're like you're hurt about this move on grow. Grow up. I already left. But it's funny because it does make you go, oh, okay.

Yeah, I guess I'm a loser. We are in the era of what matters. Right. Like the question, what matters? You're like, what matters? I don't know. I don't know what matters right now. Yeah.

And some things you're like, no, dude, this seriously fucking matters. And then someone can come to you with new information and you're like, I guess that doesn't fucking matter at all. Yeah, dude, I feel like I thought it mattered often. I feel like that where I'm like, Oh shit,

I guess, I guess that's all bullshit. Like, I guess I'm fooled. I feel that way about anything I read in the news. I don't buy anything anymore. Yeah, me neither.

I'm always like, Oh, I guess I'm a dummy and I've always been a dummy and they've been tricking me. So now I don't really care. I'm out. Pfizer just released that they were like, the CEO was like,

a fourth booster will absolutely be necessary. And I was like, get anybody else to quote on that except the guy that runs it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Whenever-

Remington gun owner suggests people should have more guns. Like, yes, that makes sense. If my wife comes to me or somebody, anybody comes to me with like a headline that they're like, yo, did you hear this?

I go, what printed that? Who's the source? Right, because now we're like the algorithm. We're just fed the things we want to hear. That's scary to me. And I fucking hate it. Like I had to log out of my Google News like page just so I would get stuff that I'm not supposed to get.

That's not telling me yes. The thing you believe is right. What's the most common Instagram ad you have that pops up? I don't get Instagram ads. Really? Everyone keeps telling me about Instagram ads. I'm inundated with them now. Oliver Campbell shoes. Can't stop. I don't know what that is.

Go away, Oliver Campbell shoes. Dude, I get an ad every time I open it up for these shoes. I've never bought them. I've never talked about them. Now I'm fucked. But now I want to see if it'll pop up if I scroll through. Somebody was like, is it because you're verified that you don't get ads? And I go, I don't know, but you are verified.

You get ads. I get ads. Okay, here's another. There's one right there. Red Vanley. I'm giving more plugs for companies that I don't give a shit about. But those look nice. Those do look nice. But it's going to get me. Vanley. I'm giving more plugs for companies that I don't give a shit about. But those look nice. Those do look nice.

But it's going to get me. Why don't I get ads? How often are you on the gram? Way too much. Are you really? Yes. Oh, then I'm surprised. It's like an embarrassing amount.

We're like, I now am trying to wear my watch around the house instead of being on the phone. Because my kids are like, Dad, look at me. And I'm like, like can't i'm looking at fucking andrew santino's we're best friends or bad friends um like i can't kiss so i i i wear the watch so that if i get a call or a text i can just glance i'm not looking at bullshit i'm not looking at instagram pretty smart because i'm on there a lot i'm on there too much to the point where like, if I'm like, oh, hey, I should turn the thermostat down. I get my phone,

I go on Instagram for 10 minutes and I put my phone down and then I go, fuck, I got to turn the thermostat down. Instagram again. And like, I just,

it's like, it's fucking like sad. Yeah. Well, the only way that I'm able to get away from it is when the old lady tells me she will say something if i'm buried in the phone on the couch yeah she'll say something

and i've kind of asked her to a little bit to like shame you yeah just to be like just tell me if it's annoying right and she usually won't because she's cool she doesn't give a fuck right but i'll be like if you notice me kind of buried away in it she can tell i'm probably like emotionally getting annoyed by something she She'll just go, Hey, throw it away. And I'm like, all right,

all right. Yeah. And then I will until I shit. Right. And then you're just four hours. Well, what am I going to not on a cold toilet seat? It does not vibrate.

It doesn't vibrate or play music. What do you, what do you look at on the shitter? You have to look at your phone. Yeah. And I have to be on Instagram because what is going to fill me up enough? Nothing. It sucks. I hate it. Although. And I have to be on Instagram because what is going to fill me up enough? Nothing. It sucks.

I hate it. Although, like, if I see my wife on her phone, I don't bother her at all. Because she's doing something constructive. No, no, no. Even if she's just, like, killing time, like, whatever, she'll be like,

hey, can we finally watch that thing? And I go, I don't really want to, but okay. Two minutes in, she's just like... Yeah, phone out. And I go, I don't care. Yeah. I okay. Two minutes in, she's just like, and I go, I don't care. I'll watch Emily in Paris or whatever. Did you watch it, by the way? No, I didn't.

Did your wife watch it? She did, yeah. Same. She loved it. She was like, I go there. She loved it. And I was like, I watched five minutes of it, and I was like, I know this isn't for me, but I'm also so confused as to why she liked it.

But here's an interesting thing that I hear a lot, and you just said, it isn't for me, but I'm also so confused as to why she liked it. But here's an interesting thing that I hear a lot, and you just said, it isn't for me. And look, on paper, a lot of things aren't for you or aren't for me. Sure. But if something's kind of great, it's for everybody. That's true.

Do you know what I mean? If it crosses those lines. Like Clueless, I don't know if that's for us, but like, that's a pretty good movie. It's a great movie. Right? Or Paul Rudd,

you know what I mean? Rudd. Mega Babe. To be honest, I only watched the Rudd scenes. I just scanned through everything else. And Paul Rudd. And what's the dad's name?

I love that guy too. Daddy. Oh yeah, the guy from Commando. Yeah, that guy was fucking amazing. Commando, Blood Simple,

what the fuck else was he in? But yeah, he's great. He was just such a fun actor. He was Carla's husband on Cheers. Yes. Yeah. Yes. He's one of those guys where you're like,

I want to see you in more stuff. Yeah. I just like his vibe. No, you're right. It's stuff that if it's good enough, it doesn't matter. It'll cross over. Yeah.

It doesn't matter if it's not for you. I don't like if I tell someone, they're like, hey, did you see whatever? And I go, yeah, I did. And I didn't think it was that good. They go, well, it's not for you. And I'm instantly like, that's weird. Was Boys in the Hood for me? Right.

Love that movie. Right, that's true. Very good movie. I don't know if it was for me. Ironically, I do think it was for you. Oh, that's weird. Yeah, it was. In fact, if you watch the end again

the credits do say four anders after everything yeah four anders with love that would be a very cool actually I will

say this about anything that is based in hip hop culture there was a large piece of it that I think any hip hop artist

of that era will go yeah this was to tell whites what it was like to live in a place that they only thought was fantasy. I would say maybe for sure. For sure.

But we weren't listening, by the way, because they were like, the police are killing us. And we were like, this music's great. Dude, but like, isn't that exciting? Right. I would say for sure there's that, but also like, they would be like, yeah, this is like the fucking let me clear

my throat frat boy white dude anthem of whatever yeah i made this for just like everybody yeah no it's just good it was just made because it was dope right but it's nice it's nice to also get when something is good enough like friday you're like this was not made just for people that live from or come from the hood right it was a window into the world of what it's like to grow up in the hood. Right. And fuck, somehow you were like, I feel like I relate to this. Right. If it's that good, you'll go, I relate to this.

I have no idea why. And look, Emily in Paris, that's the same guy who made like 90210 and Melrose Place. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't know. So like, I'm pretty sure. So I'm like, that guy knows what he's fucking doing. And I didn't love 90210 or Melrose Place,

so I'm probably not going to like this, but a lot of people dig it. Yeah, they did it right. Does it get annoying if you ever have somebody say to you, like, people have said this to me, which I don't like, and it's like, you don't need to say this. Someone will be like, oh, yeah, oh, bro, aren't you on that fucking Inventing Anna show? And you're like, oh, yeah. Oh, bro, aren't you on that fucking Inventing Anna show?

And you're like, oh, yeah, man. And they're like, yeah, I guess that's not for me. I didn't really like it, but you're dope. So they'll tell you they like you, but they don't like the thing you do. Yeah, yeah. And you're like, I don't need to know that, I guess. I don't care. I don't care.

Oh, just don't tell me. Just go, I like you. Give me a compliment. I don't need the compliment. I don't need the compliment i don't need the diss i guess right yeah yeah it's weird to be like you're funny dude that's i don't like that thing and it's like okay i look at it i i look at it this way um some people can't give you enough credit just because internally they're like i have to be either at this dude's level or above so like like, I got to knock them down with something. Cause people,

some people can't just go, you're great. Later. They can't. Yeah. Uh, the other people are people who just shoot straight and they go, dude,

I love you. Didn't love that new thing, but like keep doing what you're doing. I see that you're hustling and you go, that person, that's what they do. They just, they just say it.

Well, so Anders is a nice guy. Keep doing that to him. Don't ever fucking do that to me. All right. That's what I do. They just say it. Well, so Anders is a nice guy. Keep doing that to him. Don't ever fucking do that to me. Thank you. All right? That's what I'll say. I don't like it. It bugs the shit out of me.

Quick funny story. Yeah. Just a few weeks ago, I'm in Mexico filming this Paramount Plus movie that'll be out in a million years. What's it called? It's called At Midnight. With Chris Hardwick.

Great show. Not the same thing. No point. Different. Hardwick. Great show. Not the same thing. No point. Different. You guys did that show. Didn't you do that show? Never did it. Really?

Yeah. I'm sure you were invited. And you said no thanks. Well, we were just like, nah. Yeah, yeah. I get it. I don't know.

They were like, we want all three of you on. And we were just like, we're good. We're on Comedy Central enough. I don't know. I watched it and like, you know, people would're on Comedy Central enough. I don't know. I watched it and people would go on

and kill it and be very funny. We had to do it. Yeah, yeah. It was like a little Tonight Show appearance for us. We had to go on at least once every few months

because they were like... And it would crush for you guys, right? It did well. No, it was good. It would boost your followings and all that, right? Yeah, it was good to do it. But, so,

filming this movie at midnight with this dude, Diego Boneto. I love the name. He's like. Holy shit. I mean, he's an actor here.

He's done a bunch of stuff. He's huge in Mexico. And this is like a bilingual rom-com that's going to be great. But we're filming at this hotel in Mexico. And it's fully operational. And in the movie, I play an actor who is a superhero guy, right? Like I'm an actor in superhero movies. And I'm in like full regalia walking through like the pool area of this massive resort hotel to the beach where we're going to film.

Real residents. I mean, real guests, I mean. Yeah, real guests are in the pool drinking, looking at me like, holy fucking shit i'm dressed kind of like like the rocketeer okay and like this fly boy early 30s outfit just a little more yeah yeah give me a kiss and i'm walking and this dude goes dirt. And I'm like, hey. And he's like, where's Ruth? And I'm like, what? Like, I wasn't going to stop at all.

But then I'm like, I don't know what the fuck this means. And I go, what do you mean? He's like, from Ozarks. And I was like, oh.

You don't want to be the guy who doesn't do it. No. Which can get so deadly. I mean, you know.

Yes. You know. And by the way, no one knows that this is your eighth shot in 30 minutes. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. They're like, fuck up, pal. I have had one instance where I was at a bar

fifth week on tour right i'm tired they i think because it's like it's like when you're a kid and you go on a vacation and let's say you go to like disneyland and you're a little kid and even if it's a Tuesday, Mickey better be on fucking point. Yeah. So that's what it feels like when they see you and you're in their town and they're like, I paid for your tickets to see you. I saw you after the show.

You got to fucking be live, dude. You know, they got a morning Mickey. They got an afternoon. You know, they sub them out because they know what the toll it takes, but we have to be Mickey all the time.

I'm 24 seven7 Mickey My dog What am I What am I I'm a super What is it Super bro No No super chill

No super Fuck I forgot I don't know Damn it We're never gonna know Well we'll know Once this comes out

Well yeah When we re-watch it Do you re-watch it I sit Usually I invite you back over to my house to watch the whole thing huh for a little bit more of uh yeah a little bit a little bit more rabbit hole rabbit hole do you watch any of your shit like will you and your wife sit down and watch it no you do mine yeah no this is this is my wife my wife would never

have watched workaholics unless i was on it right right? Sure. So we would watch an episode, because I'd watch it every week to live tweet. Because we already sat in the edit bay and we made it and we've seen it 15 times before it comes out. But I'd sit and I'd watch it with her. And when the episode credits would roll, she would either go like,

she would have like a question, which means she hated it. Or she'd be like, did you guys, was that like a real car or whatever? You know, and you go, yeah, it was.

Or she'd go, that was pretty, that was funny. And you go, you know, which means like, A, she can't pretend,

she can't say that she hated it. Yeah. But when she likes it, she also can't, like when she loves it, she can't say that she loves it. Yeah. She's she likes it, she also can't, like when she loves it, she can't say that she loves it. Of course, yeah. She's like a comic.

Chicago. Yeah, she's like a Chicago. Right. Yeah. No, no, no. That was, now why did you guys make that decision, I guess, is what I,

yeah, that means I fucking, it's the worst. Right. Burn it. And if it was like, that's pretty good, do you want to order dinner? Then you go,

that might have been our best episode yet. That's when you text the guys. We hit it out of the park. We just ordered dinner right afterwards. They're like, fuck, dude, you killed it.

Because a lot of people love watching stuff. I have unbearable anxiety about watching stuff. So I don't like to do it. I used to feel like that. But then now I've done so much. No, but now like I, i've learned from other people who watch their stuff and they go i watch my stuff to go i liked that move maybe remember

that move or i did a move i didn't like never do that again and i'm yeah i'm and maybe we're the same i don't have moves i don't think i'm sure if you watched me i'm gonna get a fucking you do dilution like you do the same shit we won't notice it someone else always have to tell me right but like uh i'm not a student of myself i should say which is maybe a detriment to my you're doing okay what i'm doing sure but like i do think that there is something to say about like studying yourself knowing like you know the fucking thing that people always say like your um instrument yes right like what do you look like looking down and kind of up does that look cooler than just like looking at them naturally

I'm more natural I think you're more natural oh yeah yeah but other people that might not even be as good actors, they know how to fucking like... And you go, whoa. That got me a little horny. And then, but like, they're going, yeah, that was like a movie. I saw a fucking... Val Kilmer did that in...

Real Genius or whatever. And you go... Wow. And you go, yeah, and so I just did that. Wow. I guess I'm bad that's when someone's like i just copied the thing i'm like i guess you know what it is to me it's like some quarterbacks watch a lot of tape and some guys watch specific tape and then i think feel like it like that where there's probably not a quarterback that doesn't watch their tape

though i guess is my point maybe an elite level quarterback no i think i think maybe they watch tape yeah maybe you're right there's probably to a point until they become a savant like like brady and uh aaron rogers type by the way welcome back tom brady can you believe this he's playing again what it literally happened today this podcast will come out much later so this will be old news but no yeah what yeah this is a joke nope where is he going no he's staying in tampa oh really he announced it on his fucking instagram which is like are you listen i'm gonna read it to you right now look at the photo that's the photo yeah this is posted three hours ago i was watching the players championship and i looked i looked up and it said these past two months i've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands

come on are you for real that time will come but it's not now i love my teammates i love my I looked up and it said, these past two months, I've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. Come on. Are you for real? That time will come, but it's not now. I love my teammates. I love my supportive family. Without them,

none of this is possible. I'm coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. We have unfinished business. Let's fucking go. Or LFG. He wouldn't write. Right, right, right, right. Yeah, dude.

And then he posted a picture of his wife and kids on the second slide, which is funny because they're walking away. Yeah. The first thing I thought of I'm like

this is the backs of his family it's his jersey number so that's symbolic but it's also them being like no dad we'll just wait in the car it's like they're fucking off again that is crazy

that reminds me of the newest James Bond right where he finds out that he has a kid in this James Bond spoiler

second spoiler spoiler came out two years ago he decides to blow himself up at the end of the movie and I was like where he finds out that he has a kid in this James Bond. Spoiler. Second spoiler. Spoiler came out two years ago. He decides to blow himself up at the end of the movie and I was like, leave it to the Bond movie where he finds out he's got a kid

and he's like, I gotta blow myself up. He's like, are you telling me I can't gallivant around the globe fucking chicks? No more free pussy, huh?

All right. Yeah, it is insane to think bye lad i'm mad that he did that um i'm so bummed a lot of people don't care i love watching him play i don't want to blow i didn't want him to die oh james bond yes i moved on to brady oh you're like i hate that he did that i go i don't care no no i like the brady move i was bummed that james bond killed himself in that fucking movie i was bum bummed. I knew why they did it. It's an end to his... It's Daniel Craig saying goodbye.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also... Do it a different way. I don't know. It'd be cool if they were like, did you see the last frame though? And you zoom in and he's like on like a paddle board. Going like this.

With like zinc under his eyes. He's like, I'm retired. I'm like a regular guy now i'm just like you no i'm glad brady's gonna do another one he's the goat i mean the guy's literally the greatest it's not like he had a bad season at all ever right well i mean like this season it's not like he shit the bed kind of like rothlisberger do you think he baited rothlisberger yeah we should retire and then rothlisberger's He'd be like, we should retire. And then Roethlisberger's like, yeah, good call. And he was like, psych! Psych, bitch! What do you... Okay,

if you're Roethlisberger, who did retire, right? He's done. What went through his head reading that three hours ago? Son of a bitch. Right? Had to be. Sipping a coffee. Son of a bitch. You know why? Also because Roethlisberger won't be... He won't be an analyst. He's not gonna fucking

Tony Romo. You know what I mean? There's some guys where their after career is going to be just as rich with opportunity. Right. Did you pick up some Brady gear already? Oh, you better believe it, dude. His commercials are so bad. So bad.

He's like, you guys aren't going to believe how soft these shirts are. I'm wearing one right now, and it's super soft. Brady gear. Dro gear dropping let's go and they're just like okay tom we could hire another person to do it i got this okay loosen up just go okay now let's go have you guys seen i got a v-neck now all right we'll do the first

take thanks tom that was wonderful okay it's he's so he's stiff stiff yeah but then when you see him like interviewed obviously this is a man who's like completely in control of every press interview he's ever done so good and then they go just talk about a shirt and he goes so like the fibers are woven and you're like what happened no what's going on no well you know one part of the machine if one part is so good, the other part has to be a little shitty. But yeah, but it can't be like a, but like a guy like Roethlisberger, he's not going to have that, like, I don't know.

He's not, he'll do kind of what, what Favre was, which is like maybe a copper fit commercial. You know what I mean? Yeah. 100%. He's going to be new Gen X to the max. 100%. Who is it? Frank Thomas. Yeah. Are is it? Frank Thomas?

Yeah. Are you hurt? Wait, who else is on that? It's the little white guy. The little squirrely white dude with the hair that just goes slick back. Yeah. Who's before our era that I don't think- I know.

But what is his name? Because I see the commercials when he's like, do you need more testosterone? Yeah. It's basically them being like, can you still fuck your bitch? Exactly. And guys at home are like, not really. And then the golf girls come out in their skirts and they're like you're like whoa frank thomas ruined us right and the little white i mean we got to know who

this white dude is i know because you know he was like some g quarterback or running he's probably the probably the man in his day but he but i see frank thomas when i watch that commercial because it's frank we're chicago guys i know i met him one time by the way michael jordan celebrity golf classic a guy i'm down by the fence on a practice day yeah and a guy goes hey kid you know who that big dude is in the group behind us and i go i couldn't i couldn't see it was far enough away on the next hole yeah i go and he goes frank thomas i go bullshit yeah and this was a group of like nobody's not not pro golfers they were like probably managers and agents. You know what I mean?

They were playing at a golf course near my parents' house. It was a public course. It's not a, it's not like a country club it was a public

Pro athlete Live like that Right Up close Yeah Except at a sporting event It's crazy I lost my fucking mind

I couldn't believe it Also being a Cubs fan It was a conflict of interest But I put my guard down Yeah Yeah Can you imagine if I was like Yeah but I'm a Cubs fan, it was a conflict of interest, but I put my guard down. Can you imagine if I was like, yeah, but I'm a Cubs fan anyway. Right. But people do that shit.

This is the guy that goes, I like you, but I didn't like the show you did. That's that fucking guy. You're a Cub. See, my homie, I grew up on the north side, but my buddy's dad grew up south side, so they had season tickets to the Sox.

So you're a White Sox fan? No, but I went to way more socks games with my buddy oh then i went to cubs games growing up oh um as far as like who i like more i don't give a fuck about baseball no that's easy then it's easy but from it means a lot to me i went to some games where when bo jackson was playing um oh no it was fucking it was an era yeah like robin ventura like that era they're pretty good they're phenomenal yeah yeah also you know not forget they did win a world series before we did and nobody talked about it i know it was kind of unfair nobody gave a fuck it was really that

That's a trash song. It drives me nuts. Stop it. Cut it out.

But no, we also have, I have a big affinity with the White Sox saying because my dad's good friend, his father is a White Sox Hall of Famer who has a statue in left center field. No shit. Yeah, that's how crazy. So when we go with them, the few times I've been with them, my parents have gone a bunch. It's official. Oh, well, dude, he's like royalty. I mean, his dad, his father was one of the greatest White Sox of all time.

Wow. And left center field. When you go to the stadium, whatever it's called now, I don't even know. It used to be the cell and now it's. Comiskey Park? No, no, it's not Comiskey anymore. It's like, it hasn't been Comiskey in a long time. It was the cell.

They built the new one in the parking lot of the old stadium. Yeah, they built the new stadium and it was called the U.S. Cellular Field. And then I got turned in. Whatever. Guaranteed rate field or something like that. Sure. Who fucking cares? Yeah.

But anyway, there is a few statues of ballplayers. And he's one of them. His fucking. Yeah. One of my dad's good friends' father was Billy Pierce. One of like the greatest White Sox of all time. Did your dad's friend get any of that genetics? Does he play ball?

Did he play ball at all? He plays basketball. Does he have any hand eye? Him and my dad used to play basketball together in a men's league. And he's an athlete. Yeah. But he's a small guy. Okay.

God bless. I love you, Mr. Pierce. He's going to be the shot. His dad married like the hot little woman. Yeah. They're all tiny people. Right, right, right, right. They're all short, tiny.

You fucked off all the time. Well, what's funny is I remember telling my wife when I was killing myself doing assistant work. And then at night, I'd be writing or shooting a sketch with the guys or going to meet with the guys to talk about sketches or doing live sketches on the

weekends. I was like, don't worry. When I get my own show or I'm on something, it's gonna be like half the time. It's so much more time. So much more time. And then of course you overextend yourself because you're like, how long is this window gonna be open? You know what I mean?

Yeah. This is a fucking like, it's when you get put in that little, that phone booth and they're like, you need to grab as much money as possible. We're turning the fan on. And you're just like, ah! And you have 30 seconds to grab it all. And then you live off of that for the rest of your life. That's Hollywood. Yeah.

That's essentially Hollywood is the money wind machine. You have to tell jokes while you're doing it. Yeah. Also kind of look good a little bit cause you're on camera while you're doing this. Right. You're like, but I'm falling apart on the inside.

They're like, flex harder. Flex harder, dude. This gets more money. Um, all right, dude,
