- 0:57Speaker 3: Heather MacDonald. Juicy Scoop. Hello and welcome to Juicy Scoop.
- 1:03Speaker 3: You guys, I'm getting excited. After I record this, I've
- 1:06Speaker 3: got to go pack, get on a plane, because I'm
- 1:08Speaker 3: coming to see you at the Parks Casino in Philadelphia.
- 1:11Speaker 3: That show is still, there are still some tickets available, however,
- 1:15Speaker 3: it is selling really, really well. I've got the hilarious
- 1:18Speaker 3: Tammy Pascatelli. I want you guys to know, with all
- 1:21Speaker 3: the shows coming up, I often hear, can I bring
- 1:24Speaker 3: my husband? Can I bring my friend? She doesn't know
- 1:27Speaker 3: about Housewives. She doesn't follow pop culture. She doesn't know
- 1:30Speaker 3: who you are, Heather. Yes, you can. These shows are
- 1:35Speaker 3: top-tier stand-up from my openers like Chris Franjola as well
- 1:40Speaker 3: as Tammy. It is funny. You do not need to
- 1:43Speaker 3: know about Housewives. I do make some fun references and stuff,
- 1:48Speaker 3: but I set up in a way that your person
- 1:50Speaker 3: that you're with will absolutely love it. A reminder, it
- 1:53Speaker 3: is not political. You do not need to worry about
- 1:56Speaker 3: bringing somebody who will somehow be offended because of the
- 1:58Speaker 3: jokes don't align with their point of view. This is
- 2:01Speaker 3: an escape. This is hardcore funny. This is relatable standup
- 2:05Speaker 3: about my life stories. I've saved just for live shows. Um, Mike,
- 2:11Speaker 3: You know, Tammy and Chris are hilarious. It is a
- 2:13Speaker 3: really funny show that I'm telling you. You will be
- 2:16Speaker 3: so happy you went. You will get an ab workout.
- 2:19Speaker 3: And I just wanted to make that very clear. So
- 2:22Speaker 3: we got October 4th at the Parks Casino in Philly.
- 2:28Speaker 3: And then I meet with Chris in Ridgefield, Connecticut, a
- 2:32Speaker 3: beautiful theater there at the Ridgefield Playhouse. That's October 5th
- 2:37Speaker 3: with Chris Frangiolla. And then Chris and I head over
- 2:40Speaker 3: to Boston at the world-famous Wilbur Theatre. That show is
- 2:43Speaker 3: at 7 p.m. because it's a Sunday. I want you
- 2:46Speaker 3: guys to be able to get the show in and
- 2:48Speaker 3: still have a good night's sleep. That's 7 p.m. with
- 2:51Speaker 3: Chris on Sunday at the Wilbur Theatre. The meet and
- 2:54Speaker 3: greets are all an hour before the show. Give yourself
- 2:58Speaker 3: a little extra time if you're part of the meet
- 3:00Speaker 3: and greet. So there you go. Hope that answers all
- 3:03Speaker 3: the questions. And I hope to see you. And then,
- 3:05Speaker 3: of course, there's more dates coming up. So go to HeatherMcDonald.net
- 3:09Speaker 3: for everything. And also, of course, my Patreon. I'm going
- 3:14Speaker 3: to be covering the Menendez brothers and that documentary with
- 3:18Speaker 3: my sister Shannon for Juicy Crimes. I have a Get
- 3:20Speaker 3: Me Behind Gates. about really what my life has been
- 3:24Speaker 3: going on lately. And then, of course, every Friday is
- 3:27Speaker 3: the inside, kind of behind the scenes of doing this show.
- 3:30Speaker 3: And that's everything is at heathermcdonald.net. Okay, before we get
- 3:34Speaker 3: to our really juicy interview, which you will love, I
- 3:38Speaker 3: want to give you, sadly, the worst updates ever, because
- 3:42Speaker 3: Piggy Diddy is truly a monster, okay? Really, it doesn't stop.
- 3:48Speaker 3: An attorney, I guess, put out a thing. Come to
- 3:51Speaker 3: me if you're a victim of P.
- 3:53Speaker 6: Diddy.
- 3:54Speaker 3: He's from Texas. I talked about him on the last
- 3:57Speaker 3: episode that he had a class action lawsuit with 50 people.
- 4:00Speaker 3: It has now gone up to 125. He did a
- 4:01Speaker 3: press conference in which— two of the victims, um, alleged
- 4:08Speaker 3: victims are being highlighted in articles and whatnot that are
- 4:12Speaker 3: the more disturbing ones. One is a nine-year-old boy that, um,
- 4:18Speaker 3: was promised an audition and an opportunity to have a
- 4:21Speaker 3: record deal. And he is claiming he was separated from
- 4:25Speaker 3: his parents and alone with, um, Diddy in which he was, um,
- 4:29Speaker 3: sexually assaulted. And then, um, And then there was another
- 4:34Speaker 3: woman who wasn't even drinking because she was pregnant and then,
- 4:39Speaker 3: you know, was drugged and found herself in P. Diddy's
- 4:43Speaker 3: bed afterwards and was assaulted. They're just horrific stories. Now,
- 4:48Speaker 3: some people would question how in a week could you
- 4:51Speaker 3: actually get 150 people that you could validate their stories?
- 4:56Speaker 3: I mean, we know what goes into building a case
- 4:59Speaker 3: for somebody. You know, were you there? Did you come
- 5:02Speaker 3: home and tell somebody who we need to talk to
- 5:04Speaker 3: your roommate from 2006? So, you know, are these 150?
- 5:08Speaker 3: I don't know how they're I don't know how many.
- 5:11Speaker 3: lawyers this guy has working for him, how they're going
- 5:14Speaker 3: to do this. But it's just never ending. And then,
- 5:18Speaker 3: of course, as I said before, all the old clips.
- 5:21Speaker 3: I just saw a clip that New York Post featured
- 5:23Speaker 3: from a very popular BBC show. Maybe it was like,
- 5:27Speaker 3: you know, five years ago or something. And it's P. Diddy.
- 5:31Speaker 3: And he's saying that, yes, at one time he did
- 5:34Speaker 3: invite the royal prince's William and Harry to come to
- 5:40Speaker 3: his parties, but he won't be inviting them anymore now
- 5:43Speaker 3: that they're, you know, married and getting married. Also, page
- 5:48Speaker 3: six is reporting that now people are coming forward saying, yes,
- 5:50Speaker 3: I went to P. Diddy parties, but everybody knew you
- 5:53Speaker 3: wanted to leave. There was three parties. That's what I heard.
- 5:56Speaker 3: There's three parties. One, you leave before two.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Okay.
- 6:01Speaker 3: That's if you just want a past app and a
- 6:03Speaker 3: couple of cute photos and a free glass of Ciroc.
- 6:06Speaker 7: Okay.
- 6:07Speaker 3: You got to get out before 2. 2 to 5,
- 6:10Speaker 3: some freaky stuff happens. You know, maybe some more clothes
- 6:14Speaker 3: come off, maybe some drug use, maybe some freaky sex
- 6:18Speaker 3: stuff that, you know, you're down for. It's the parties,
- 6:22Speaker 3: and then you got to leave at 5. It's the
- 6:23Speaker 3: parties from 5 on that people are saying, like, I
- 6:27Speaker 3: never was there, and that's where maybe— you know, non-consensual,
- 6:31Speaker 3: awful things happened to people that might've been not of
- 6:36Speaker 3: age or not willing participants or might've been hired as
- 6:40Speaker 3: sex workers. So there you go. It's awful. Our girl
- 6:46Speaker 3: Wendy Williams has done an interview with Daily Mail and
- 6:49Speaker 3: TMZ is reporting on it as well. And it sounds
- 6:53Speaker 3: like she's doing much better. She knows what's going on
- 6:56Speaker 3: with P Diddy. She is saying that she's hearing from
- 7:00Speaker 3: people that she'd called it back from her radio days
- 7:03Speaker 3: before she even had her TV show. You know, that's
- 7:06Speaker 3: what people loved about Wendy. She really didn't care. She
- 7:08Speaker 3: dropped a lot of truth and it wasn't in riddles. And, um,
- 7:13Speaker 3: you know, she's horrified by what she's hearing about the
- 7:16Speaker 3: victims and the things that she's being made aware of.
- 7:20Speaker 3: So anyway, hopefully she is doing better and she has
- 7:24Speaker 3: spoken about that. A little update in the Bravo world.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Brandi Glanville of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was suing
- 7:32Speaker 3: Bravo because Andy, remember this story, that she felt that
- 7:38Speaker 3: Andy spoke to her inappropriately as a boss and We,
- 7:43Speaker 3: many people felt it was in a joking manner that
- 7:45Speaker 3: they had that kind of rapport and that he and
- 7:48Speaker 3: Kate Chastain were joking on the phone. She said, no,
- 7:51Speaker 3: I always felt like there were inappropriate things that were
- 7:55Speaker 3: said to me. I bet I was used. We, you know, I,
- 7:58Speaker 3: this whole thing with Caroline Manzo happened, which I don't
- 8:01Speaker 3: agree with. I never, you know, I never assaulted her.
- 8:04Speaker 3: And therefore we have never seen the Real Housewives Ultimate
- 8:08Speaker 3: Girls Trip in Morocco or She posted or tweeted on
- 8:13Speaker 3: X that, in fact, the lawsuit has been dropped, not
- 8:19Speaker 3: because she wanted it to, because her attorneys said, we're
- 8:23Speaker 3: no longer representing you. We don't feel this lawsuit has legs.
- 8:27Speaker 3: So she wrote, like, you can't write this shit. I
- 8:30Speaker 3: can't believe it. I was told I was going to,
- 8:32Speaker 3: you know, cash out and make so much money from
- 8:35Speaker 3: this thing. And now, after all this time and effort,
- 8:38Speaker 3: they've decided not. it's not worth their time, which happens.
- 8:43Speaker 3: They're going to grab 40% of a lawsuit against a
- 8:49Speaker 3: big corporation. They got to make sure that they have
- 8:51Speaker 3: enough to win it. Otherwise, it's not worth their time
- 8:54Speaker 3: because she's not paying them. They're doing it in the
- 8:58Speaker 3: hopes that they all get, that she gets a win
- 9:01Speaker 3: of whatever, $ 10 million, and they get $ 4 million of it.
- 9:05Speaker 3: So if they feel like it's not going to happen,
- 9:07Speaker 3: there's not the evidence, there's not whatever, And I don't
- 9:10Speaker 3: know that anyone else will take on her lawsuit. So
- 9:13Speaker 3: now I really feel like she is like triply screwed
- 9:16Speaker 3: because she felt like she was never going to be
- 9:20Speaker 3: hired again because she was used and thrown out after
- 9:23Speaker 3: the Caroline Manzo thing. So then she goes the legal
- 9:27Speaker 3: route and was like, whatever, let me get my money
- 9:29Speaker 3: so I can live somewhere and just not have to
- 9:32Speaker 3: do these shows where I have to get drunk and
- 9:34Speaker 3: grab people that don't want to be grabbed or whatever
- 9:36Speaker 3: or show my tits or say awful things to people
- 9:38Speaker 3: because that's what I get paid to do. Now that's
- 9:43Speaker 3: seemed to be dead. So it's not been a great
- 9:46Speaker 3: day for her, but I wanted to give you that update.
- 9:49Speaker 5: Okay.
- 9:50Speaker 3: You guys remember what I said? You go to heathermcdonald.net
- 9:52Speaker 3: for all the dates. I'm coming to Chicago, Minneapolis in October,
- 9:55Speaker 3: then Irvine, California in November. And then in February, I'm

- 10:06Speaker 3: real fun, juicy interview. Hello, and welcome to Juicy Scoop.
- 10:11Speaker 3: You guys love the inside Hollywood scoop, and I've got
- 10:14Speaker 3: the guests to spill it. From the hit four-part series
- 10:19Speaker 3: on Hulu right now, Baywatch, Moment in the Sun. It's
- 10:23Speaker 3: so juicy. It's four parts. I have the director, the producer.
- 10:28Speaker 3: You also appear in it, Matt Felker. With the star
- 10:33Speaker 3: of Baywatch, he played the son of David Hasselhoff, Jeremy Jackson,
- 10:39Speaker 3: throughout the entire four-part series as well.
- 10:43Speaker 6: Associate producer? Executive producer?
- 10:45Speaker 2: You got an associate producer.
- 10:46Speaker 6: Associate producer.
- 10:46Speaker 2: Oh, you're a producer as well. Yeah, I saw that.
- 10:49Speaker 2: He produced some shit. He did some shit.
- 10:51Speaker 3: And I saw that Nicole Eggert, who came on Juicy
- 10:54Speaker 3: Scoop as well, that she was on Charles in Charge.
- 10:57Speaker 3: And then, of course, Baywatch. And she's a great woman.
- 11:01Speaker 3: She was also a, got a producing credit.
- 11:04Speaker 5: I saw.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Yeah, she kind of, I didn't really know any of
- 11:06Speaker 2: these guys when I started. And I was just looking
- 11:09Speaker 2: for something direct. And I knew that. No one was
- 11:11Speaker 2: going to let me direct shit unless I paid for it.
- 11:13Speaker 2: So I was looking for something relatively commercial and a
- 11:17Speaker 2: buddy of mine saw me interact with Nicole on Instagram.
- 11:19Speaker 2: And he's like, how do you know Nicole Eggert? Like,
- 11:21Speaker 2: you know, he's like 48, like huge Charles in charge
- 11:24Speaker 2: kind of fan. I'm like, I don't know. I've like
- 11:26Speaker 2: kind of known her for like 20 years. Not well,
- 11:28Speaker 2: but I know her enough that I can call her.
- 11:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:30Speaker 2: He goes, dude, like you were a lifeguard. You should
- 11:32Speaker 2: do a Baywatch documentary. And I was like. And my
- 11:34Speaker 2: friend was kind of an idiot that I wasn't really
- 11:36Speaker 2: paying attention. And I'm like, that's actually a pretty good idea.
- 11:38Speaker 3: Well, in watching it, we see you. You're giving, you know,
- 11:43Speaker 3: narration telling story. And it looks like this did take
- 11:47Speaker 3: quite a long span of years to put together because
- 11:51Speaker 3: some of the people that are interviewed, you being one
- 11:54Speaker 3: at one point, I see you again. And I'm like,
- 11:58Speaker 3: wait a minute. Were there two guys that played together?
- 12:00Speaker 3: You know how sitcoms sometimes would like replace a kid
- 12:03Speaker 3: with another kid?
- 12:04Speaker 2: I was one.
- 12:05Speaker 3: So I was like, wait a minute, but your look
- 12:07Speaker 3: was changing because it was a long span. So can
- 12:10Speaker 3: you tell us a little bit like what your background
- 12:12Speaker 3: is and how you got this project like going and
- 12:15Speaker 3: off the ground?
- 12:17Speaker 2: Well, I've sort of kind of done it all. I mean,
- 12:19Speaker 2: I moved to L.A. and you kind of just get
- 12:21Speaker 2: put in a box. And I was a male model
- 12:23Speaker 2: as embarrassing.
- 12:24Speaker 6: As that is.
- 12:25Speaker 3: You came to L.A. from where?
- 12:27Speaker 2: Wisconsin. Oh, cool. Yeah, and my first job, I was
- 12:30Speaker 2: a soccer player, so Nike was looking for someone to
- 12:33Speaker 2: do their endorsements, and they couldn't pay.
- 12:34Speaker 3: And you could actually play soccer?
- 12:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a high-level soccer player.
- 12:38Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 12:39Speaker 2: And I think Adidas had David Beckham at the time,
- 12:42Speaker 2: and Nike couldn't afford anybody. So they're like, you look okay.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Let's have you. So that was my first job. And
- 12:48Speaker 2: then I became friends with the casting director in music videos,
- 12:51Speaker 2: and then he put me in the Britney Spears video,
- 12:53Speaker 2: and then Stacey's mom, and all those early 2000s sort of.
- 12:57Speaker 2: hit songs, I was in all those videos. And that
- 12:58Speaker 2: was sort of my.
- 13:00Speaker 6: Music video ho.
- 13:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 13:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 13:02Speaker 2: That was sort of my coming to LA. And then
- 13:06Speaker 2: I did that pilot with Chelsea Handler. I didn't really
- 13:08Speaker 2: like acting. Okay. I always sort of got thrown into it.
- 13:12Speaker 2: I wrote a script when I was 24 that I
- 13:15Speaker 2: sold to Penelope Spheres, who did Wayne's World and Black Sheep.
- 13:18Speaker 3: I know Penelope.
- 13:19Speaker 2: So I started a production company with her. We did
- 13:22Speaker 2: a male stripper comedy, which I would say is probably
- 13:25Speaker 2: the reason Magic Mike existed, because I did it with
- 13:27Speaker 2: Jenna Dewan, and Channing came to our set every day,
- 13:29Speaker 2: and he's like, whoa, I was a stripper, and then
- 13:31Speaker 2: he went to, you know, all the big dogs, and
- 13:33Speaker 2: then had.
- 13:34Speaker 6: So wait, slow down.
- 13:36Speaker 3: Okay.
- 13:38Speaker 2: I think we're like the precursor to Magic Mike. We
- 13:39Speaker 2: definitely had some inspiration, because our sets look the same, too,
- 13:41Speaker 2: which is pretty funny.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Do you keep in touch with Penelope?
- 13:43Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 13:45Speaker 3: Oh, okay. She knew my brother very well. Anyway, Penelope...
- 13:50Speaker 3: So you guys were doing that, filming it or doing
- 13:53Speaker 3: like a reel of it or what? How was the
- 13:56Speaker 3: idea sort of taken before.
- 13:58Speaker 2: It was released? So we were financed through the Goris Group.
- 14:01Speaker 2: It was Al Goris and Paradigm. He owns Paradigm. So
- 14:03Speaker 2: they were doing our packaging. And Jenna Dewan was the
- 14:08Speaker 2: female lead who Channing was married to at the time.
- 14:11Speaker 2: And Channing would always come. He came to set like
- 14:14Speaker 2: four times. Like no one does that, especially when he's
- 14:16Speaker 2: like a big star. And this is like sort of
- 14:18Speaker 2: a lower budget movie.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Right.
- 14:20Speaker 2: But we had really good actors. We had Mimi Rogers,
- 14:23Speaker 2: Chris McDonald, you know, Shooter McGavin, you know, he's that
- 14:26Speaker 2: and a couple other. Dustin Ybarra was in it, stand-up comic.
- 14:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Brad, the midget's the wrong term because I know that's
- 14:35Speaker 2: not sensitive. Smaller person, Brad, he's a stand-up.
- 14:38Speaker 3: Oh, yes, Brad, yes.
- 14:39Speaker 2: He's in it. I do a dance with him in
- 14:42Speaker 2: a cowboy outfit with my ass hanging out with me
- 14:44Speaker 2: and Brad do it together. So it was a full-on comedy.
- 14:46Speaker 3: So you wrote it and you appeared in it.
- 14:48Speaker 2: I executive... Produced it, and I was the bad guy stripper.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 14:54Speaker 2: But anyway, so yeah, Channing.
- 14:57Speaker 6: Can we do that ass shaking scene?
- 14:59Speaker 2: You can probably get it. It's on YouTube. But we
- 15:02Speaker 2: had Channing come to set a bunch of times, and
- 15:05Speaker 2: he befriended the son of the financier, and he got
- 15:10Speaker 2: that guy to finance a different project for him.
- 15:12Speaker 6: Which was?
- 15:14Speaker 2: I think it was. dear john he got him to
- 15:16Speaker 2: pay for okay um but then shortly thereafter it was
- 15:19Speaker 2: a trade release that magic mike and it was this
- 15:21Speaker 2: you know male stripper thing with matthew mcconaughey and you
- 15:24Speaker 2: know it's like we had the b team and then
- 15:26Speaker 2: he's like fuck it i was a stripper and i
- 15:27Speaker 2: have access to the a team so he just took
- 15:29Speaker 2: it i mean you can't be mad at.
- 15:30Speaker 3: Him so then did you guys finish the movie.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Yeah it's got dumped on fucking amazon the territories it
- 15:36Speaker 2: was like pre-stream what's.
- 15:37Speaker 3: The name of it balls to the wall Oh my gosh.
- 15:40Speaker 2: And I own that movie too, so go watch it
- 15:42Speaker 2: because I still make $ 5 a month on it.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, amazing. I just went to Thunder Down
- 15:48Speaker 3: Under this weekend in Las Vegas.
- 15:50Speaker 2: I saw the pictures.
- 15:51Speaker 6: I actually got an offer from Thunder Down Under a
- 15:54Speaker 6: few years ago. I did some fitness pictures. I happened
- 15:59Speaker 6: to be having no clothes on.
- 16:01Speaker 2: You had a giant dick.
- 16:03Speaker 6: No, it was from behind. I was standing up. It
- 16:06Speaker 6: was actually great. And, uh, TMZ picked it up. Uh,
- 16:10Speaker 6: and somebody said, Hey, I work for Thunder from down under.
- 16:13Speaker 6: We'd love to have them on.
- 16:14Speaker 3: So then I, I do like a special guest.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:17Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:18Speaker 6: So I talked to him a little bit and got
- 16:19Speaker 6: a little cash offer. And then I had a manager
- 16:22Speaker 6: called Chippendales and see if they wanted to steal me instead. They,
- 16:26Speaker 6: they said, absolutely. They hired me for the three week,
- 16:29Speaker 6: like celebrity little deal. I went out there to Vegas, um,
- 16:33Speaker 6: met everybody. We did a big, TMZ kind of press
- 16:36Speaker 6: release deal, but they agreed to a price that was
- 16:41Speaker 6: like 150 grand for three weeks. And then we made
- 16:45Speaker 6: an offer to somebody, I forget what network, to do
- 16:48Speaker 6: like a reality show because I had just gotten married.
- 16:51Speaker 6: So like I'm married to a stripper, but it was
- 16:53Speaker 6: really just my little guest appearance.
- 16:55Speaker 3: They loved it.
- 16:55Speaker 6: They were like really into it. They were going to
- 16:57Speaker 6: come film, but I had just gotten off this set
- 16:59Speaker 6: of Celebrity Rehab.
- 17:00Speaker 3: Oh, what year was this?
- 17:03Speaker 6: This was 2010, 12? Something 12-ish, yeah. And somebody died
- 17:12Speaker 6: at the property of a drug overdose. And even though
- 17:15Speaker 6: I wasn't doing drugs on Celebrity Rehab, just the fact
- 17:19Speaker 6: that I was on Celebrity Rehab going out there.
- 17:21Speaker 2: The association, yeah.
- 17:22Speaker 6: Yeah, they killed the deal.
- 17:24Speaker 2: No bonding for you.
- 17:26Speaker 3: So you start to really, you first start, it starts
- 17:28Speaker 3: out how they got the idea of, which was great,
- 17:32Speaker 3: how they were just like, smoked a joint and walked
- 17:33Speaker 3: down the beach and saw lifeguards and was like, there's
- 17:36Speaker 3: a whole story here. Which is like, even when I
- 17:38Speaker 3: was getting back to stripping, when I was at the
- 17:40Speaker 3: Thunder Down Under, I was like, oh, and I started
- 17:44Speaker 3: to think, I wonder who these guys date, like who's
- 17:46Speaker 3: their mother, do they have something else cooking on the side?
- 17:50Speaker 3: And then I was like, oh, I totally see why
- 17:52Speaker 3: this was made into a movie. Because you start to
- 17:55Speaker 3: kind of wonder, what is.
- 17:56Speaker 2: This profession about?
- 17:58Speaker 3: So I loved hearing that. And then we get to
- 18:01Speaker 3: see how at first it was a movie, and then
- 18:05Speaker 3: from the success of the two-hour movie is when it
- 18:08Speaker 3: became the series that we kind of know.
- 18:10Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 18:12Speaker 3: So you, let's talk a little bit about you.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Sure.
- 18:15Speaker 3: So, you know, your mom was, left your dad when
- 18:18Speaker 3: you were only three months old. So was it, so
- 18:20Speaker 3: it was just the two of you or did you
- 18:21Speaker 3: have siblings?
- 18:22Speaker 6: I had a sister when I was about six, but
- 18:25Speaker 6: I had already, that's about when I started acting. So
- 18:28Speaker 6: she had a newborn and she had me and we're
- 18:29Speaker 6: in Orange County. She's literally driving a Volkswagen bug that
- 18:33Speaker 6: catches on fire driving to LA to go to auditions
- 18:37Speaker 6: and stuff. It was crazy.

- 19:15Speaker 7: on the show, I sit down with extraordinary people who
- 19:18Speaker 7: have faced tremendous setbacks and yet somehow have found a
- 19:23Speaker 7: way to turn them into their greatest strengths.
- 19:25Speaker 2: Life is one long lesson of chaos.
- 19:28Speaker 6: I'm heading to the Emmys, and I have police complaints
- 19:31Speaker 6: filed against me. When your free will was about to
- 19:33Speaker 6: be taken from you, what would you do if it
- 19:36Speaker 6: was given back?
- 19:37Speaker 7: Where did that need come from where you thought that
- 19:39Speaker 7: you had to succeed in order.
- 19:41Speaker 6: To feel loved? He said, I have a work dad.
- 19:43Speaker 7: I need a home dad.
- 19:44Speaker 6: What happens next? When I came in, he started crying.
- 19:47Speaker 7: Everybody in life encounters hardships. What defines them is not
- 19:51Speaker 7: those hard moments that they go through. It's about what
- 19:54Speaker 7: happens next.
- 19:55Speaker 3: I decided to risk it all.
- 19:56Speaker 6: I realized how valuable every day was. You're worth the work. Listen. Star,
- 20:00Speaker 6: I'm not going to pull punches.
- 20:02Speaker 3: You can use your voice even if it's shaped.
- 20:04Speaker 7: The stories are different, but the impact is the same.
- 20:07Speaker 7: Only one question matters. What happens next?
- 20:18Speaker 3: And so, so you started to get a couple little things.
- 20:22Speaker 3: And did you love it up until you got I mean,
- 20:25Speaker 3: you loved Baywatch too, but like was anything going on
- 20:29Speaker 3: like with the jobs leading up to Baywatch?
- 20:32Speaker 6: It was like a whirlwind. So I was a super ham,
- 20:37Speaker 6: like just anywhere and everywhere. Mom would take me to
- 20:42Speaker 6: karaoke bars. I'm like three years old singing Disneyland. I
- 20:46Speaker 6: think I'm a break dancer. I think I'm a ballerina.
- 20:48Speaker 6: I think I can do every accent. I'm imitating Michael Jackson.
- 20:51Speaker 6: I got Elvis Presley down pat. It was just who
- 20:54Speaker 6: I was, you know?
- 20:54Speaker 2: Right.
- 20:55Speaker 6: So between the ages of 6 and 10, I had
- 20:59Speaker 6: already done 60 commercials.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Wow.
- 21:02Speaker 6: Like 13.
- 21:02Speaker 3: So now when you're doing 60 commercials, and commercials meant
- 21:06Speaker 3: a lot of money back then.
- 21:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:07Speaker 3: So that must have, was that basically then your mom's
- 21:09Speaker 3: job being the manager, and that was helping take care
- 21:12Speaker 3: of the household?
- 21:13Speaker 6: My manager, my acting coach, my friend. I'm dyslexic. I
- 21:18Speaker 6: couldn't read. She had to read everything to me, and
- 21:19Speaker 6: I'd have to repeat it back to her. So it
- 21:21Speaker 6: was like mano a mano, me and her against the world.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 6: Mary Grady was my agent.
- 21:27Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 21:27Speaker 6: Lonnie O'Grady was her daughter from Eight is Enough.
- 21:29Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 21:30Speaker 6: Right? And I remember your agent's name.
- 21:32Speaker 3: Iris Burton, yeah.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Yeah, those were like the two big dogs back then.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Right.
- 21:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 21:36Speaker 3: And was there ever any concern, you know, now we
- 21:39Speaker 3: hear so much about, you know, child actors and the
- 21:41Speaker 3: safety of child actors from the Nickelodeon doc to, you know,
- 21:47Speaker 3: Michael Jackson, Neverland, leaving Neverland. Was there any concern? concern
- 21:53Speaker 3: or anything about you being on set if your mom
- 21:56Speaker 3: couldn't be right there?
- 21:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:58Speaker 6: Well, so me and my mom were super tight. We
- 22:00Speaker 6: were also, we're like Orange County folk, you know?
- 22:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 22:04Speaker 6: We don't know a lot of people in the industry.
- 22:05Speaker 6: We're like outsiders that managed to like explode our way in.
- 22:09Speaker 6: We were kind of hated because I would get a
- 22:11Speaker 6: lot of jobs over other kids. So there'd be the
- 22:14Speaker 6: moms with their groom, their kids that were always in
- 22:17Speaker 6: acting class and they got their flippers, their fake teeth,
- 22:19Speaker 6: and they got their outfits.
- 22:20Speaker 3: Just to show people like, what is a flipper? When
- 22:25Speaker 3: the kids lose their teeth because they're like becoming seven.
- 22:28Speaker 3: They put these flippers. You see that I'm on like
- 22:31Speaker 3: toddlers and tiaras, but they're just like a little retainer.
- 22:34Speaker 3: So then they have like the cute little chiclet teeth still.
- 22:36Speaker 6: So there was like the Hollywood kids that lived at
- 22:38Speaker 6: the Oakwoods and this was like their full time job.
- 22:40Speaker 6: And this was like a, just a thing we came
- 22:42Speaker 6: in kind of gorilla and stole from those people.
- 22:45Speaker 3: You're right.
- 22:46Speaker 6: They didn't like us. So we weren't really on the,
- 22:49Speaker 6: in the inner sanctum, so to speak, shooting with the
- 22:52Speaker 6: right photographers, going to the right places, making the right friends. Um,
- 22:57Speaker 6: so somehow we, we managed to, to escape that. However,
- 23:00Speaker 6: you know, the other day, just a couple of days ago,
- 23:03Speaker 6: I was like, you know what, dude, all the podcasters,
- 23:06Speaker 6: all the interviewers, all the people, they want to know
- 23:08Speaker 6: about the dark side of being a child star. Everybody
- 23:12Speaker 6: wants to hear about some spirit soup, Illuminati, Jesus juice type.
- 23:16Speaker 6: Michael fingered me. I'm like, you know what? I might
- 23:18Speaker 6: as well just start. I mean, I guarantee you if
- 23:21Speaker 6: I were to tell you, oh yeah. I would have
- 23:24Speaker 6: a full big old run. I would have a huge run.
- 23:26Speaker 6: I could just make up a story.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Michael Fingerman?
- 23:29Speaker 6: I could just say, David Asloff, yeah, kissed my wiener.
- 23:33Speaker 6: I could make up a story because everybody already believes it,
- 23:37Speaker 6: and I would go on a run of press and
- 23:40Speaker 6: money and appearances. These people are probably lying a lot.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Interesting.
- 23:45Speaker 6: Do you think there's anything that happened?
- 23:48Speaker 2: No, I'm saying even on Baywatch, I think people wanted
- 23:50Speaker 2: all this dark shit. And it really didn't happen.
- 23:54Speaker 6: I mean, the weirdest thing, I went through the producers' trunks.
- 23:56Speaker 6: I was a very rambunctious kid, so I'd like to
- 24:00Speaker 6: rifle through everybody's everything for some reason. And I found
- 24:04Speaker 6: there was literally a box this big of sheepskin condoms.
- 24:08Speaker 6: And I was like, who's having sex this much? Doug
- 24:11Speaker 6: Schwartz drunk. I'm like, man, he must really be getting
- 24:14Speaker 6: it on if he's got a giant box. But for
- 24:17Speaker 6: all I know, it was a sponsor that sent it
- 24:19Speaker 6: to him for free.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably was.
- 24:20Speaker 2: It was a sponsor.
- 24:21Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going through the girls' trailers, and their playboys
- 24:25Speaker 6: are in there. So they're working, and I'm looking at
- 24:27Speaker 6: them naked. And then I get to see them 10
- 24:29Speaker 6: minutes later and be like, I've seen you naked. Uh,
- 24:32Speaker 6: but it wasn't a bunch of dark, weird stuff at all,
- 24:35Speaker 6: you know?
- 24:35Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean, I did, there was.
- 24:37Speaker 6: A photographer who took a picture of me in a pool.
- 24:39Speaker 6: I was at a kid's event with like punky Brewster
- 24:42Speaker 6: and all these kinds of celebs. Um, and they, that
- 24:45Speaker 6: all the moms were nudging my mom. Hey, you got
- 24:47Speaker 6: to shoot with this guy. You, if he invites you somewhere,
- 24:49Speaker 6: go with him. He'll, you'll get a lot of jobs.
- 24:52Speaker 6: He took one picture of me in, in the history
- 24:54Speaker 6: of my career. And like, 20 years later was arrested
- 24:58Speaker 6: as being a really big part of a child pedophile
- 25:01Speaker 6: ring and pornography, underage pornography.
- 25:04Speaker 3: And did he want to have a session with you?
- 25:06Speaker 6: Yes, and we didn't go. My mom said she got
- 25:07Speaker 6: a weird feeling about it.
- 25:09Speaker 3: Amazing.
- 25:10Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:10Speaker 3: Full like mother instinct.
- 25:12Speaker 2: His mom has never done an interview before. And I
- 25:14Speaker 2: got to know her.
- 25:15Speaker 3: She's so beautiful too.
- 25:17Speaker 2: And yeah, she was real concerned about her looks going
- 25:19Speaker 2: on camera. She was so hesitant of going on camera.
- 25:22Speaker 6: Yeah. So we're both wounded from growing up on Baywatch.
- 25:26Speaker 6: All those beautiful women.
- 25:27Speaker 2: They're totally fucked up.
- 25:28Speaker 6: She is gorgeous.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the first interview she's ever done. And I
- 25:30Speaker 2: thought it was really interesting because I feel like when
- 25:33Speaker 2: you have a story like Jeremy's where he's been through
- 25:35Speaker 2: a lot, it's always like, oh, fucking parents. Parents have
- 25:38Speaker 2: to be horrible. What's wrong with your mom? And I'm like,
- 25:40Speaker 2: your mom was an awesome mom. You were just a
- 25:42Speaker 2: crazy fucking kid. And it didn't matter if you were
- 25:44Speaker 2: a TV star or not. He was going to be
- 25:46Speaker 2: a crazy fucking kid.
- 25:46Speaker 6: And that's the other thing. People always want to, oh,
- 25:48Speaker 6: was it... Yeah, dude.
- 25:50Speaker 3: For people that don't know, you had a drug addiction.
- 25:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 25:53Speaker 3: That happened while you were still filming.
- 25:56Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 25:57Speaker 2: But it was at the very end. Towards the end.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Towards the end. Okay, but sorry, continue.
- 26:01Speaker 6: I mean, it got heavy towards the end. But other people,
- 26:03Speaker 6: people want to, oh, did you, you were exposed. You
- 26:05Speaker 6: must have been exposed to something. Yeah, I could be like, yeah,
- 26:08Speaker 6: the producers were mean to me, so I had to
- 26:10Speaker 6: do drugs to cope with my feelings. Or, yeah, I
- 26:14Speaker 6: saw Tommy Lee and he had some coke, so I
- 26:16Speaker 6: wanted to do coke. Like, I could easily say something
- 26:18Speaker 6: like that. No way, dude. Being a celebrity making millions
- 26:23Speaker 6: of dollars by that time I was 16 probably saved
- 26:25Speaker 6: my life. I would have been running around broke with
- 26:28Speaker 6: criminals doing the stuff that I did. I just had
- 26:30Speaker 6: enough money to pay for lawyers and pay for really
- 26:32Speaker 6: good rehabs, pay for therapy, and have people want to
- 26:35Speaker 6: help patch me together because... I was their bread and butter.
- 26:38Speaker 6: If I didn't have agents, managers, and publicists, all these
- 26:41Speaker 6: people that were making money off me, I wouldn't have
- 26:43Speaker 6: continued to be patted and lifted and helped and mentored
- 26:47Speaker 6: and supported. It probably saved my life.
- 26:51Speaker 3: That is really interesting because also it's shared that your
- 26:55Speaker 3: biological father, he struggled with a drug addiction. Yeah. And,
- 27:01Speaker 3: you know, sadly that happens whether you're raised in the
- 27:04Speaker 3: home with them or not. There is something. Some people
- 27:07Speaker 3: say it's not. I feel like there is something that
- 27:10Speaker 3: makes you more susceptible.
- 27:12Speaker 6: I can explain it to you if you want.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Really?
- 27:14Speaker 3: Yeah, tell me what you think.
- 27:16Speaker 6: So there exists this thing called the warrior gene. Scientific
- 27:20Speaker 6: community geneticists and researchers call it the warrior gene. They
- 27:24Speaker 6: breed it into mice. They put a thousand mice in
- 27:27Speaker 6: a cage and lots of mice breed. will gravitate in
- 27:31Speaker 6: the cage, there'll be vodka, there'll be toys, there'll be food,
- 27:34Speaker 6: and there'll be shelter. Lots of the mice try the vodka.
- 27:38Speaker 6: Lots of them get drunk, but most of them get distracted,
- 27:41Speaker 6: find a friend, get hungry or tired. But about 10%
- 27:44Speaker 6: of those thousand will stay at the vodka and drink
- 27:47Speaker 6: until they die. So they take those 10% and they
- 27:49Speaker 6: breed them, and now since mom and dad had this
- 27:51Speaker 6: thing that makes them drink until they die, has this
- 27:54Speaker 6: thing that makes them forget about food, water, shelter, friends,
- 27:59Speaker 6: Offspring is more likely to have it and they continue
- 28:01Speaker 6: to do this grab all the babies before they kill
- 28:03Speaker 6: themselves 50% grab all the babies before they kill themselves
- 28:06Speaker 6: 80% grab all the babies 100% now you got a
- 28:10Speaker 6: hundred percent all offspring from mom and dad they bred
- 28:13Speaker 6: out the normie gene Right.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Mmm.
- 28:17Speaker 6: Once they've tried vodka. That's all they want to do.
- 28:19Speaker 6: That's all they care about and they'll kill themselves and
- 28:22Speaker 6: Just like I did. I had millions of dollars. I
- 28:24Speaker 6: had all that good stuff. I had all these opportunities.
- 28:26Speaker 6: A walk to remember with Mandy Moore was written for me.
- 28:29Speaker 6: That movie was written for me before the pen went
- 28:32Speaker 6: to paper. The writer said, this is Jeremy Jackson is
- 28:35Speaker 6: going to star in this million dollars at whatever I
- 28:38Speaker 6: was 16. Nah, nah, nah.
- 28:41Speaker 3: You blew it off.
- 28:41Speaker 6: Yeah. I was too busy getting high.
- 28:43Speaker 3: And what was like the first time that you started
- 28:46Speaker 3: to use?
- 28:47Speaker 6: I mean, I was smoking weed and drinking 12.
- 28:49Speaker 3: And where would you get it? And how would that
- 28:52Speaker 3: work between being on settle day? Because obviously you had
- 28:56Speaker 3: like a set teacher, right? Or did you go to
- 28:59Speaker 3: any regular school once you were casted in?
- 29:00Speaker 6: I was too busy by third grade. Teachers were already
- 29:04Speaker 6: really mad because I was missing so much at third grade.
- 29:07Speaker 6: But I was like gifted, learning, disabled, hyperactive. I was
- 29:10Speaker 6: a hands-on learner, experiential learner. I was terrible in school.
- 29:15Speaker 3: In a classroom.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:16Speaker 6: Um, so that was great actually for me. Um, so
- 29:20Speaker 6: I did homeschool and just started working so much that
- 29:24Speaker 6: I really couldn't go to school.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I remember I got one commercial and I left, they
- 29:29Speaker 3: picked me up from the school and I was doing
- 29:31Speaker 3: the commercial and I had the onset teacher. And so
- 29:37Speaker 3: we had all the little work that like my mom
- 29:39Speaker 3: got and was like, here's her work for the day
- 29:42Speaker 3: and finished it in an hour and a half and
- 29:45Speaker 3: one of the things was teaching me to read a
- 29:47Speaker 3: clock okay and we'd been working on that at school
- 29:51Speaker 3: for so long and I understood it within 10 minutes
- 29:54Speaker 3: of being with the set teacher and that's why I'm
- 29:57Speaker 3: like hey If homeschool is the way to go, don't
- 30:00Speaker 3: let people tell you that or that, you know, that's
- 30:04Speaker 3: for weird religious people, whatever. Do what's right for your
- 30:07Speaker 3: kid because I truly believe a one-on-one situation, it's like
- 30:11Speaker 3: you don't need to be there for eight hours if
- 30:13Speaker 3: you have like a private tutor or you're doing homeschool
- 30:17Speaker 3: or whatever.
- 30:17Speaker 6: Absolutely.
- 30:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:18Speaker 6: It was great for me, you know, and it's feast
- 30:21Speaker 6: or famine, right? So you're either really, really busy or
- 30:24Speaker 6: you don't have anything to do. So when it was
- 30:26Speaker 6: I don't have anything to do time, it was go.
- 30:29Speaker 6: And 12 years old, 13, 14, 15, all kids are
- 30:33Speaker 6: getting into some form of trouble. You know, someone's smoking weed.
- 30:36Speaker 6: They know somebody's older brother has weed in their room.
- 30:39Speaker 6: You go to their house and you smell it. They're 16.
- 30:41Speaker 6: They look cool. And you're like, oh, they're doing something cool.
- 30:43Speaker 6: What's that smell? You know, and then you want to
- 30:45Speaker 6: try it. You want to do it from cigarettes to whatever,
- 30:49Speaker 6: you know.
- 30:49Speaker 3: So for a while, those teen years, you were able
- 30:52Speaker 3: to party, get back into it. into the straight and
- 30:57Speaker 3: then when did you like kind of go off the
- 31:00Speaker 3: deep end?
- 31:00Speaker 6: I got pretty deep into Coke. Um, you know, I
- 31:04Speaker 6: was already going to rehab at like 16, but, uh,
- 31:07Speaker 6: you know, playboy mansion parties and Coke.
- 31:09Speaker 3: And, and so you're going to playboy mansion parties at
- 31:12Speaker 3: 16 cause all the girls were on. I thought that
- 31:14Speaker 3: was also really interesting that, um, I can't remember the
- 31:18Speaker 3: actress that said it and she said, um, Playboy was
- 31:23Speaker 3: like if a celebrity did a Playboy spread. If a
- 31:28Speaker 3: celebrity did a Playboy shoot midway through their career and
- 31:32Speaker 3: they're already a celebrity, that was steak tartare. But if
- 31:37Speaker 3: you just did a June issue as some chick that
- 31:41Speaker 3: came from Oklahoma, then that was just gross raw meat.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Raw nasty meat.
- 31:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that was such an interesting analogy. And then how
- 31:49Speaker 3: they were like, well, listen, this is where we need
- 31:52Speaker 3: to hire the people for Baywatch is just go straight
- 31:54Speaker 3: to the Playboy Mansion. And it did become such a
- 31:57Speaker 3: cool thing in the 90s, all the Playboy stuff, who
- 32:00Speaker 3: the girls were, who got the month.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Yeah, Playboy was a real thing.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 32:05Speaker 2: I think the newer generation kind of forgets what it
- 32:07Speaker 2: actually was because porn is just everywhere. Right. So, like,
- 32:10Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything, you know. Playboy is so tame
- 32:12Speaker 2: compared to what you can see online.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 32:14Speaker 2: So.
- 32:15Speaker 3: And I think that's why, like, oh, you know, she
- 32:17Speaker 3: got the Playboy thing. And we were seeing that it
- 32:20Speaker 3: was leading to other things, Pamela being one, Jenny McCarthy,
- 32:24Speaker 3: Karma Lecter. Yeah, like that was really interesting. So when
- 32:28Speaker 3: you're reaching out to the other people. Now, when we
- 32:30Speaker 3: see Pamela Anderson doing an interview, was that with you
- 32:34Speaker 3: or were you able to grab interviews from something else?
- 32:36Speaker 2: So Pam was interesting. Initially, she was receptive, like early on.
- 32:41Speaker 2: And at the time, I didn't think she was going
- 32:43Speaker 2: to be hard to get at all. Because at that time,
- 32:45Speaker 2: that was pre Pam and Tommy show on Hulu that
- 32:48Speaker 2: created a whole resurgence, which created a rebuttal to her documentary.
- 32:51Speaker 2: And then, you know, she's off doing what she's doing.
- 32:55Speaker 2: By the time we got to her, the pandemic had started.
- 32:59Speaker 2: She was living in Canada. So I didn't want to
- 33:02Speaker 2: film her remote. I just didn't think you'd get the
- 33:05Speaker 2: right interview with her. And I felt she deserved more
- 33:08Speaker 2: than that. Like she deserved a face to face. Yeah.
- 33:11Speaker 2: So we kind of put a pin in it and
- 33:12Speaker 2: then the Pam and Tommy thing came out for Hulu.
- 33:17Speaker 2: And I think she was really enraged at first. I mean,
- 33:19Speaker 2: I think in retrospect, she should thank him because, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 2: Megan Ellison probably took a couple million dollar loss to
- 33:24Speaker 2: resurge your career and make you, you know, empathetic to
- 33:27Speaker 2: the audience type thing. But she really, she really hated that.
- 33:31Speaker 2: And she had all these like statements like, I don't
- 33:34Speaker 2: even know who Lily James is. And I don't know
- 33:36Speaker 2: who Sebastian, I mean, they're the two very solid actors
- 33:39Speaker 2: of the generation. I mean, they're, You may not know
- 33:40Speaker 2: who they are, but they're very good.
- 33:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 33:43Speaker 2: And it's, you know, it's Seth Rogen and Megan Ellison,
- 33:45Speaker 2: you know, fucking billionaire wins Academy Awards. I mean, she
- 33:48Speaker 2: put fuck you money into that thing. And I mean,
- 33:52Speaker 2: I listened to their soundtrack and just from licensing music.
- 33:55Speaker 2: They had a seven figure soundtrack per episode. I mean,
- 33:58Speaker 2: she did not make money on that at all.
- 34:02Speaker 3: I mean, I thought it was great.
- 34:03Speaker 6: It was.
- 34:03Speaker 3: I thought I knew the story and I thought it
- 34:05Speaker 3: was great how it was shared. And I thought they
- 34:08Speaker 3: were both great. But I was watching it with my sons,
- 34:11Speaker 3: my teenage sons, and by like the fourth episode, they
- 34:15Speaker 3: were like, oh my God, who cares that there's a.
- 34:18Speaker 2: It's too long. It's way too long.
- 34:20Speaker 3: But also from their perspective, they were like- It means
- 34:23Speaker 3: nothing to them. They were like, why is she so upset?
- 34:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:26Speaker 3: Like, who cares that people saw them have sex?
- 34:29Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:30Speaker 3: To them, it's a different world.
- 34:31Speaker 2: It's generational different. Yeah, it's a totally different world. Their
- 34:34Speaker 2: friends are on OnlyFans, so it's totally different.
- 34:35Speaker 3: And also, there's no slut-shaming or anything with guys. They
- 34:39Speaker 3: don't see it like that. They're like, so what? So
- 34:42Speaker 3: that was her husband, and who cares?
- 34:43Speaker 2: Yeah, but she reacted violently, too.
- 34:46Speaker 3: Right, and I'm trying to explain that, no, she felt
- 34:49Speaker 3: it was really going to hurt her career. That's what's
- 34:54Speaker 3: so interesting, is how the perspective of something changes.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Psychographic.
- 34:58Speaker 3: It's just like when the Kardashians started too, it was like, um,
- 35:02Speaker 3: I was at, uh, a party in which the Kardashians
- 35:05Speaker 3: were there. It was, it was a party for, um,
- 35:08Speaker 3: Jillian Barbary from the morning show, like celebrating her wedding
- 35:11Speaker 3: or something. And they were hosting it. And Kim was
- 35:16Speaker 3: attempting to be like a red carpet girl. Like that's
- 35:20Speaker 3: what she was working on. And, her publicist was like
- 35:23Speaker 3: kind of helping. And so they had, because Jill was
- 35:27Speaker 3: a celebrity, they had like in touch and maybe like
- 35:29Speaker 3: E there at the house. And, and the girl goes to,
- 35:34Speaker 3: I'm not going to say who the celebrity is, but
- 35:36Speaker 3: she goes to celebrity and she goes, Oh, before you leave,
- 35:39Speaker 3: could you please, could Kim interview you really quickly? And
- 35:45Speaker 3: this is a post sex tape.
- 35:47Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 35:48Speaker 3: And, but recent. And she was like, no, I don't
- 35:52Speaker 3: do interviews with porn stars.
- 35:55Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:56Speaker 3: And she left. And I remember thinking my perspective was
- 36:02Speaker 3: this is the daughter of the woman who hosted the thing.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Why aren't you just helping a daughter, you know, work
- 36:09Speaker 3: on her craft like that? It's just kind of rude.
- 36:11Speaker 3: I just thought it was sort of I thought that's
- 36:13Speaker 3: what I thought. I didn't think, oh, you're being too
- 36:15Speaker 3: high and mighty for that. But so for a while
- 36:18Speaker 3: it was nobody wanted to fuck with them. That was,
- 36:21Speaker 3: you know, oh, Kardashian. And then all of a sudden.
- 36:23Speaker 2: And then Anna Wintour gave them Fashion Week passes and
- 36:25Speaker 2: they met Della and it was game over.
- 36:27Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden everybody, you know, knows
- 36:29Speaker 3: that they are powerful and that's who you want.
- 36:31Speaker 2: To be friends with. They saw the value.
- 36:32Speaker 3: But how quickly, how quickly.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Well, that's what I was.
- 36:34Speaker 6: Or are they just jealous because that person is getting
- 36:36Speaker 6: more attention than you get for your craft career that
- 36:39Speaker 6: you put so much time and effort into. True, true.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Back to how Pam to wrap it up. So that
- 36:46Speaker 2: came out. She, like, closed all doors. Like, we're not
- 36:49Speaker 2: doing anything. Then I got a call from my contact
- 36:53Speaker 2: at ABC News Studios who we ended up doing the
- 36:55Speaker 2: deal with but didn't have a deal at that point.
- 36:58Speaker 2: They're like, we just got this Pamela Anderson documentary sent
- 37:01Speaker 2: to us. They want, like, an absorbent amount of money.
- 37:04Speaker 5: Like.
- 37:04Speaker 2: You know, her kid is her manager now. He asked
- 37:07Speaker 2: for all this money and we're.
- 37:08Speaker 3: Like, that's the one that they like film.
- 37:10Speaker 2: It's the one that went to Netflix.
- 37:11Speaker 3: The one that they filmed mostly at the home in Canada.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Right.
- 37:14Speaker 3: It's yeah.
- 37:15Speaker 2: They filmed two days, you know, people like, Oh, this
- 37:17Speaker 2: documentary is so great. I'm like, the story is great.
- 37:19Speaker 2: They filmed that for like $ 9. Like it was literally
- 37:21Speaker 2: filmed in two fucking days. So from a, from a
- 37:24Speaker 2: producer standpoint, I'm not super blown away, but I understand
- 37:28Speaker 2: the value of it. But anyway, so she, Did that.
- 37:32Speaker 2: And I'm like, fuck. I would have liked to have
- 37:34Speaker 2: got that story for my thing. But I get it.
- 37:36Speaker 2: She's making some money from Netflix. She's going to monetize
- 37:38Speaker 2: her story. And that's great. So we circled back to
- 37:42Speaker 2: her trying to do a follow-up. And her son manages her.
- 37:46Speaker 2: I don't know if he still does because she just
- 37:48Speaker 2: signed with CAA. And I don't think they would maybe
- 37:51Speaker 2: work with him. Maybe they would. Maybe they wouldn't. But
- 37:52Speaker 2: I can't see that working out very well.
- 37:54Speaker 6: Anyways.
- 37:55Speaker 2: Anyways. They were initially receptive, and their first comment was,
- 38:00Speaker 2: how much?
- 38:01Speaker 7: How much?
- 38:02Speaker 2: We're like, nothing. It's an ensemble cast. We have 38 people.
- 38:06Speaker 2: It's literally everyone that's ever been on the show. It's
- 38:09Speaker 2: a big thing for Pam. You can run your story. Really,
- 38:14Speaker 2: we'll let you craft your image. No, hard no. That's
- 38:20Speaker 2: what her son said, hard no, right? And I called
- 38:24Speaker 2: him and I go, hey, Brandon, this is Matt. And
- 38:26Speaker 2: he didn't even let me talk. He just hung up
- 38:27Speaker 2: on me. I'm like, wow, that's good managing. That's great managing.
- 38:31Speaker 2: I'm like, that's going to work well. So I was like, whatever.
- 38:34Speaker 2: So Muriel Pearson, who's an 11-time Emmy-winning producer for ABC
- 38:39Speaker 2: News Studios, She goes, do you remember that 2020 that
- 38:43Speaker 2: you were a panelist for us during the pandemic? And
- 38:46Speaker 2: that's how I met them. I did a free panelist
- 38:48Speaker 2: on pop culture for them, shot it myself, sent them
- 38:50Speaker 2: a hard drive. And that's how I created this relationship
- 38:53Speaker 2: with the people that ended up buying it. She's like, yeah,
- 38:58Speaker 2: I interviewed Pam for that. And it's the same time
- 39:01Speaker 2: you interviewed Pam with or you interviewed all the other actors.
- 39:04Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 39:05Speaker 2: Let's go through the transcripts because we never even put
- 39:08Speaker 2: it in the 2020 because at that time, Pam's value
- 39:11Speaker 2: was nothing because it was pre-Pam and Tommy.
- 39:14Speaker 3: Oh. So they tried to like– Pre-Pam and Tommy the movie.
- 39:17Speaker 2: And then pre-Pam and her rebuttal with her Netflix thing.
- 39:20Speaker 2: So this is like only a year prior, zero value.
- 39:24Speaker 2: Zero value. And then now she's here trying to negotiate
- 39:27Speaker 2: for money. So we just said, oh, thanks, but no. thanks, Brandon.
- 39:31Speaker 2: And not only did I go through the transcript, it's
- 39:33Speaker 2: all the stuff I would have asked her anyway.
- 39:34Speaker 3: Right.
- 39:35Speaker 2: And we owned it in all perpetuity. So not only
- 39:38Speaker 2: did they try to tell us to go fuck ourselves,
- 39:41Speaker 2: we had an interview that we were able to use
- 39:42Speaker 2: in perpetuity that we put up on the Jumbotron Times Square. Yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 2: So it was like a ultimate like checkmate. It's like
- 39:49Speaker 2: we gave you guys the opportunity to do whatever you wanted.
- 39:54Speaker 2: And you said no. And now we're taking your mom
- 39:57Speaker 2: back to the place where she was still wearing makeup
- 39:59Speaker 2: and had that different persona.
- 40:00Speaker 6: Right.
- 40:00Speaker 2: So now you've just taken your mom's persona back because
- 40:04Speaker 2: you refused to do something. And it was just it
- 40:07Speaker 2: was hilarious because not only and then they had it like, oh,
- 40:10Speaker 2: Pam refused to interview New York Post. Pam, it's like, well,
- 40:13Speaker 2: she did, but she didn't. She asked for money.
- 40:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 40:16Speaker 2: She didn't refuse. She asked for money. There's a big
- 40:18Speaker 2: difference between being like, no, I'm not doing this under
- 40:20Speaker 2: any circumstances. It's how much.
- 40:22Speaker 6: If you're not going to work with Matt Felker, you're
- 40:25Speaker 6: working against him and you're just, where there's a will,
- 40:28Speaker 6: there's a way. He's going to find a way to
- 40:29Speaker 6: make it happen. Like he moved so many mountains.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Okay, so let's get a little into that. What's the girl,
- 40:34Speaker 3: the athletic girl at the end?
- 40:36Speaker 6: Alexander Paul.
- 40:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I always remember that, you know, she was on
- 40:39Speaker 3: it and, you know, she was very athletic, looked like
- 40:43Speaker 3: a swimmer. She was a swimmer. And I thought what
- 40:45Speaker 3: she said was really cool in the doc, how she's like,
- 40:48Speaker 3: you know, everybody at that time was getting boob jobs,
- 40:51Speaker 3: all the other girls. And she's like, and I was like, no,
- 40:53Speaker 3: this is me. And it, it was, she was really
- 40:56Speaker 3: lovely in it. She was just like, this was a
- 40:58Speaker 3: reason why you should be yourself. And it made it
- 41:02Speaker 3: real that you had the, like the true athlete girl.
- 41:04Speaker 3: And of course the other girls are like these hot things,
- 41:06Speaker 3: you know? Not that she wasn't hot, but the booby,
- 41:10Speaker 3: you know, the big boobs.
- 41:11Speaker 2: We had a question that didn't make it into the series,
- 41:14Speaker 2: but it was a question that we asked everyone. Who
- 41:15Speaker 2: was like the most realistic lifeguard and who was the
- 41:17Speaker 2: most unrealistic lifeguard?
- 41:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 41:19Speaker 2: And my answer was, on popular opinion, Pamela Anderson.
- 41:23Speaker 3: Most unrealistic.
- 41:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 41:24Speaker 2: No one has nails and boobs like that that's rescuing anyone.
- 41:28Speaker 5: Right.
- 41:29Speaker 2: I mean, it just looks great. Not functional.
- 41:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 41:32Speaker 2: Not a functional body type for being a lifeguard.
- 41:36Speaker 3: Right.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Right. But, yeah, I mean, any of the girls that had, like,
- 41:39Speaker 2: the really big, big boobs, it's like it gets in
- 41:42Speaker 2: your way.
- 41:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Even in an athletic standpoint. I mean, most girls I
- 41:46Speaker 2: know that are athletes, if they have big boobs, they
- 41:47Speaker 2: hate it. And they try to, like, strap them down.
- 41:50Speaker 6: I thought they were real. No, they're not.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Really? With Nicole Eggert, who she came on Juicy Scoop
- 41:59Speaker 3: a few years ago. I was telling her before we started.
- 42:01Speaker 3: And I reached out to her because she was telling
- 42:03Speaker 3: her story, her situation, and with Scott Baio that she
- 42:09Speaker 3: was underage, her story, and they had a physical relationship
- 42:17Speaker 3: when she was underage, according to her. And he said, no, whatever.
- 42:20Speaker 3: He has said that's not true. But she came on
- 42:22Speaker 3: and told the story about that. And it was kind
- 42:27Speaker 3: of interesting how then she went from Charles in charge
- 42:29Speaker 3: to being on Baywatch. And then she just kind of
- 42:32Speaker 3: bailed out.
- 42:34Speaker 2: And....
- 42:35Speaker 3: Changed her looks, but kind of like downplayed her beauty
- 42:39Speaker 3: with her change of hair and stuff.
- 42:41Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 42:42Speaker 3: Which is something that happens when girls are.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Sexualized.
- 42:48Speaker 3: Sexualized, sexually assaulted, whatever, where they're like, I don't want
- 42:51Speaker 3: to be that anymore.
- 42:52Speaker 2: They don't want the attention.
- 42:53Speaker 3: And I thought that was really interesting because I didn't
- 42:56Speaker 3: really remember that, you know, because she was just what,
- 42:58Speaker 3: only on like one season.
- 42:59Speaker 2: She was, yeah. And she kind of, she did really
- 43:01Speaker 2: disappear from the public eye.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 43:03Speaker 2: For a while. I mean, I knew her just from
- 43:05Speaker 2: being out. like, in the scene.
- 43:06Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 43:07Speaker 2: And I think I met Nicole when you guys wrapped
- 43:09Speaker 2: Hawaiian Wedding. She was dating Momoa at the time. That
- 43:12Speaker 2: was the first time I met Jason Momoa.
- 43:13Speaker 3: I didn't even know that Jason Momoa got his start on...
- 43:16Speaker 3: So was he on Baywatch Hawaii?
- 43:18Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 43:18Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually... I don't think it was very clear
- 43:20Speaker 2: in the documentary, like, because my director's cut was... very
- 43:24Speaker 2: different from the studio cut. I wasn't in my cut.
- 43:28Speaker 2: They made me be in. So any fucking reviewer or
- 43:32Speaker 2: critic's like, what the fuck did that guy put in?
- 43:34Speaker 2: I didn't have a choice, so fuck off. I didn't
- 43:37Speaker 2: want to be on camera because I knew he'd be like, oh,
- 43:39Speaker 2: the fucking guy wants to be a star. It's like, no,
- 43:41Speaker 2: they wanted me to go in because I had so
- 43:43Speaker 2: much time.
- 43:44Speaker 3: Narrating the story.
- 43:45Speaker 2: What people don't realize is I have spent more time
- 43:47Speaker 2: with these people than the cast have. Because these people
- 43:49Speaker 2: were evolving cast. I spent five years with everyone. Some
- 43:53Speaker 2: of these people never met each other other than like
- 43:55Speaker 2: a reunion party for an hour and be like, oh, hey,
- 43:57Speaker 2: you're on Hawaii. Cool. Cheers. And that's it.
- 43:59Speaker 3: I remember being I used to go to Playboy parties
- 44:02Speaker 3: and I remember getting a call and being like, oh,
- 44:05Speaker 3: you're invited to the mansion on Sunday, whatever. And it's
- 44:10Speaker 3: a going away for Brandi Roderick. to go beyond Baywatch Hawaii.
- 44:16Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, like, I'm so happy that she's
- 44:20Speaker 3: getting away from this old fart. Because I didn't know her,
- 44:22Speaker 3: but I would just go to the parties, whatever, and
- 44:24Speaker 3: she was the new girlfriend. And I thought it was
- 44:28Speaker 3: really nice that whatever their relationship was, that he was like,
- 44:31Speaker 3: go ahead. Because when I watched the Playboy documentary, a
- 44:35Speaker 3: lot of the girls wanted to be actresses and stuff,
- 44:38Speaker 3: and their story was that he kind of cock blocked
- 44:41Speaker 3: him like ruined um like you know she's all some
- 44:44Speaker 3: girl was all excited to get the agent or the
- 44:47Speaker 3: audition and then all of a sudden the call stopped
- 44:49Speaker 3: because he was like i don't want her on tv
- 44:51Speaker 3: so at that point he was like okay great go.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Beyond his wieners that work.
- 44:55Speaker 3: Yeah so go to go do hawaii so so hawaii
- 44:59Speaker 3: uh baywatch was on for a couple years and that's
- 45:01Speaker 3: where jason yeah.
- 45:03Speaker 2: I don't again i don't think it was really clear
- 45:05Speaker 2: in our cut but he actually won a contest It
- 45:08Speaker 2: was like a contest. I don't remember the late 90s
- 45:10Speaker 2: or late 2000s. They would always do contests for everything.
- 45:13Speaker 6: Yes.
- 45:13Speaker 2: Like the structure underwear model. Do a contest. And be
- 45:16Speaker 2: like a bunch of ripped dudes with his dick hanging out.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Be like, look at my abs. And they'd be like,
- 45:19Speaker 2: you win. You have the biggest, you know, that kind
- 45:21Speaker 2: of thing. Yes.
- 45:22Speaker 3: And like a top of Canada.
- 45:23Speaker 5: Right.
- 45:23Speaker 2: It was these contests. Wet t-shirt.
- 45:26Speaker 3: There were a lot of contests.
- 45:27Speaker 2: It was pre-social media where everyone could be famous. Like
- 45:30Speaker 2: this is the chance for the normal person to be famous.
- 45:32Speaker 3: Got it.
- 45:32Speaker 2: Stand in line and maybe we'll pick you.

- 45:52Speaker 6: I guess so.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Here's the best part about this documentary.
- 45:56Speaker 3: Gina Nolan.
- 45:57Speaker 7: Okay.
- 45:58Speaker 2: There's a lot of things I don't actually know about
- 46:00Speaker 2: the show because the show itself was not interesting to me.
- 46:03Speaker 4: Right.
- 46:03Speaker 3: The stories were the worst.
- 46:04Speaker 2: It was the people and it's what this sort of
- 46:06Speaker 2: thing had a grip on society.
- 46:08Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Internationally and domestically type thing.
- 46:10Speaker 5: Right.
- 46:11Speaker 2: So a lot of fans, I think like the weird
- 46:13Speaker 2: like super fans like, dude, we really wanted to like
- 46:15Speaker 2: go through all the actors. And when Billy was on
- 46:17Speaker 2: episode so and so when the shark ate his butthole
- 46:20Speaker 2: and you're like, I'm.
- 46:22Speaker 6: Like, dude.
- 46:23Speaker 2: I'm not spending my own money to do that. If
- 46:25Speaker 2: you want to do that, you go, go right ahead.
- 46:27Speaker 2: But good luck fucking selling that anywhere.
- 46:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Like that's straight to YouTube, buddy.
- 46:31Speaker 3: What was great is that you went through the actors
- 46:34Speaker 3: and they, you know, we're talking about what it meant
- 46:36Speaker 3: for their career, how they got it. And, I mean,
- 46:39Speaker 3: what was really, like, lovely about you and your struggle
- 46:42Speaker 3: is the part that I couldn't, I could not believe
- 46:45Speaker 3: is when you, I guess, relapsed and you ended up
- 46:48Speaker 3: in the county jail. And these cast members from years back,
- 46:54Speaker 3: who were the three that came together to visit you? That,
- 46:57Speaker 3: I think, I was blown away. I can't imagine.
- 47:01Speaker 5: I know.
- 47:01Speaker 3: In my life, me being in that situation.
- 47:04Speaker 2: Having people come from like a TV show you did
- 47:06Speaker 2: 20 years ago.
- 47:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I really don't think so. And I thought that
- 47:09Speaker 3: was really like end of a show like this that
- 47:13Speaker 3: is so superficial and playboy in looks that the friendship
- 47:17Speaker 3: would continue all these years to the point that they're like, hey,
- 47:20Speaker 3: our friend needs us. So tell that story.
- 47:23Speaker 2: So they've been there for you forever, no matter what.
- 47:26Speaker 6: Absolutely. I did my wedding reception at David Asloff's house. Um,
- 47:32Speaker 6: you know, I've helped David Charvet with some training stuff, uh,
- 47:35Speaker 6: fitness stuff in the past. Uh, Alexander Paul sent me
- 47:40Speaker 6: protein powder to my rehab every month. She put me
- 47:44Speaker 6: on a subscription plan for like, I don't know, for
- 47:46Speaker 6: three months, I got a tub of protein, which was
- 47:49Speaker 6: like the cutest thing in the world. She came to
- 47:50Speaker 6: visit me there. Uh, Nicole Eggert found the lawyer that
- 47:55Speaker 6: got me, um, the help that I needed. There was, uh,
- 47:58Speaker 6: I went through two years.
- 47:59Speaker 3: How did you end up in the jail?
- 48:01Speaker 6: So I was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
- 48:05Speaker 3: What was the story behind that?
- 48:07Speaker 6: I was looking at 70 minutes in prison.
- 48:08Speaker 3: Can you tell the story of what was going on?
- 48:11Speaker 6: So the story is basically, you know, when you're a
- 48:15Speaker 6: Hollywood white boy in the San Fernando Valley doing drugs,
- 48:20Speaker 6: selling drugs and hanging out with people who do drugs
- 48:23Speaker 6: and sell drugs. You're hanging out with people who steal cars,
- 48:25Speaker 6: who rob houses, who are prostitutes. Um, you know, who
- 48:28Speaker 6: are homeless, you know, this kind of thing, who are
- 48:31Speaker 6: drug addicts.
- 48:31Speaker 3: So, and that's where you found yourself.
- 48:33Speaker 6: Yeah. And, and they, I wasn't until years later, I realized,
- 48:38Speaker 6: oh my gosh, I could have just told everybody, Hey,
- 48:40Speaker 6: I got a new project. I'm doing research for a movie.
- 48:43Speaker 6: You're going to be in it. So they would kiss
- 48:44Speaker 6: my butt, but they just assume that I have money.
- 48:47Speaker 6: And that I'm hiding stuff from them.
- 48:49Speaker 3: Who are these unsavory people?
- 48:51Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 48:52Speaker 6: You know, so I was getting, I got robbed and
- 48:58Speaker 6: carjacked and attempted kidnappings and You know, stuff like this
- 49:04Speaker 6: a lot where I'm fending for my life with like.
- 49:06Speaker 3: Guns in my face. Because you're hanging out with the druggies.
- 49:09Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 49:10Speaker 3: But the druggies know that you're the.
- 49:12Speaker 6: Kid from Baywatch. And the druggies think that he's probably
- 49:16Speaker 6: got a bunch of money and he's selfish and lying
- 49:18Speaker 6: and using us.
- 49:19Speaker 2: I used to play on YouTube the theme song when
- 49:21Speaker 2: you'd show.
- 49:23Speaker 3: Up.
- 49:23Speaker 2: This got cut too. I loved it.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Wait, what's the story?
- 49:27Speaker 6: My favorite buddy that was a drug dealer of mine,
- 49:29Speaker 6: Bam Bam, rest in peace. He died of a fentanyl
- 49:31Speaker 6: overdose about a year ago. But he would always, I'd
- 49:36Speaker 6: call him and say, hey, I'm coming over to pick up,
- 49:37Speaker 6: you know. And he literally set up speakers and a TV,
- 49:41Speaker 6: and as soon as I'd walk in, he'd play this
- 49:43Speaker 6: You Can Run video that was on Baywatch.
- 49:46Speaker 2: It's like he was a little kid.
- 49:47Speaker 6: Yeah, and make fun of me. But these people.
- 49:52Speaker 2: To buy.
- 49:52Speaker 3: The drugs at this point.
- 49:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Like, what year is this? That you're going to the
- 49:56Speaker 3: guy's house and he's playing the music.
- 49:58Speaker 6: Yeah, I had been sober from 20 years old into
- 50:01Speaker 6: my early 30s when I relapsed. I think it was probably...
- 50:06Speaker 6: 2013 or 14. And how did your relapse happen once
- 50:15Speaker 6: you'd been on the straight and narrow for seven years?
- 50:18Speaker 3: How does that happen?
- 50:20Speaker 6: You get really busy and you think that paying attention
- 50:23Speaker 6: to your recovery and following mentorship and helping other people
- 50:27Speaker 6: and praying and meditating every day and keeping the horse
- 50:31Speaker 6: in front of the cart that it's not that important
- 50:33Speaker 6: because you're really busy and you've got jobs and you've
- 50:34Speaker 6: got responsibilities and You haven't drank or done drugs for
- 50:38Speaker 6: 13 years. How am I going to go back, you know,
- 50:41Speaker 6: having a glass of wine in the jacuzzi in Maui
- 50:44Speaker 6: with my fiance? Like, there's no way.
- 50:47Speaker 3: Was that the moment?
- 50:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 50:49Speaker 6: How am I going to be a drug addict off
- 50:51Speaker 6: a glass of wine in a jacuzzi?
- 50:53Speaker 3: So you're on the vacation.
- 50:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 50:55Speaker 3: And your, your fiance, I guess, hadn't had any issues
- 50:59Speaker 3: with drug and alcohol.
- 51:00Speaker 6: Not that I knew.
- 51:00Speaker 3: So she was going to have her normal glass of wine.
- 51:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 51:03Speaker 3: And was she at all like, don't, or was she
- 51:06Speaker 3: thinking you were good?
- 51:07Speaker 6: We totally had a conversation about it. So I was like, Hey,
- 51:10Speaker 6: so check it out. Like it's been so long. Maybe
- 51:13Speaker 6: I was just like an angst kid, you know, 12
- 51:17Speaker 6: to 20. It's like, there's a lot of emotions. There's
- 51:20Speaker 6: a lot of hormones. I was on TV. There was
- 51:22Speaker 6: a lot of pressure. Like we're doing great. You know,
- 51:25Speaker 6: everything's smooth. We go to church every Sunday. You know,
- 51:27Speaker 6: I'm working, training people. We've got a dog and a
- 51:29Speaker 6: house and cars. And I highly doubt having a couple
- 51:32Speaker 6: of glasses of wine with you is somehow going to
- 51:34Speaker 6: demolish it all. But I'll make you a deal. If
- 51:36Speaker 6: I drink and if I get out of hand or
- 51:38Speaker 6: if I start acting different, just tell me. And then
- 51:40Speaker 6: I'll stop and I'll, you know, go back into some
- 51:42Speaker 6: recovery program. Or if I have to go to rehab,
- 51:44Speaker 6: I'll go to rehab or whatever. I'll just stop. That
- 51:46Speaker 6: was the thought. I'll just stop. And I don't, she
- 51:49Speaker 6: never said stop. And I never remember a time where
- 51:52Speaker 6: I was like, oh, I'm getting out of hand. I'm
- 51:54Speaker 6: sure it happened. I just don't remember it. It's that idea.
- 51:57Speaker 3: Okay, so it started with wine. And then what happened?
- 52:00Speaker 6: Smoking a little bit of weed.
- 52:01Speaker 3: Okay.
- 52:02Speaker 6: You know, taking a little bit of Xanax to sleep good,
- 52:04Speaker 6: maybe twice a week. And then maybe 10 milligrams of
- 52:07Speaker 6: Adderall in the morning. I'm feeling, you know, the doctor
- 52:10Speaker 6: prescribed me 30. I'm only taking 10. I'm not a
- 52:13Speaker 6: drug addict. I'm underdoing it. I'm definitely not overdoing it.
- 52:16Speaker 6: So I feel enhanced. I feel like I'm getting better sleep.
- 52:20Speaker 6: And I'm clearer in the day and I'm able to
- 52:21Speaker 6: relax on the weekend, smoke a joint and have some wine.
- 52:25Speaker 6: And our relationship went kaput, kablooey. And I found myself
- 52:32Speaker 6: in a depression just drinking myself in depression. And after
- 52:38Speaker 6: about a month of that, I said, screw this. I'm
- 52:40Speaker 6: going to get high. Real high. This blues isn't cutting it.
- 52:43Speaker 3: So where did you do then?

- 53:51Speaker 6: my relationships over, what am I going to do? What
- 53:54Speaker 6: am I going to do? So then I just got high.
- 53:56Speaker 6: And literally as soon as I get high, I'm like,
- 53:58Speaker 6: I'm a real drug addict. Professional. I'm that one that
- 54:03Speaker 6: won't leave it. And I forget, like the mice, I'll
- 54:07Speaker 6: leave the food. I'll leave the shelter. I'll leave the friends.
- 54:09Speaker 6: I don't care about anything else. Once I do it,
- 54:12Speaker 6: I don't care about anything else. I can't force myself
- 54:14Speaker 6: to care about anything else. Until the handcuffs are on.
- 54:18Speaker 2: You know what's funny about Jeremy? My wife and I
- 54:20Speaker 2: had this conversation. We came back from the premiere party
- 54:23Speaker 2: where everyone was there. And we're like, do you realize
- 54:26Speaker 2: that Jeremy, who is the most fucked up of anyone
- 54:29Speaker 2: on that show, is the most together now? And it's true.
- 54:33Speaker 2: He is literally the most together of anyone on that show.
- 54:36Speaker 2: And he should be dead. Truly. Multiple times over.
- 54:41Speaker 3: Okay, so you start doing it again. You start doing
- 54:43Speaker 3: the math.
- 54:45Speaker 6: And then automatically just.
- 54:46Speaker 3: Going to the guy's house where he's playing the music. Right.
- 54:49Speaker 6: And, you know, these guys... Bam, bam. You know, these
- 54:52Speaker 6: drug addicts, they're driving around.

- 55:00Speaker 6: Ex-fiance started hanging out with Dan Bilzerian and G-Eazy and
- 55:04Speaker 6: Chris Brown just to rub it in my face. Oh,
- 55:06Speaker 6: she just.
- 55:07Speaker 3: Moved on to another celebrity type of crew. Okay. So
- 55:12Speaker 3: she's not calling your mom concerned.
- 55:14Speaker 7: Nope.
- 55:14Speaker 6: Nope.
- 55:14Speaker 3: She just moved on to the next best thing.
- 55:16Speaker 6: She's making claims against me to the police and saying
- 55:18Speaker 6: that I, all kinds of stuff.
- 55:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 55:20Speaker 6: And just changing my address with the IRS and trying
- 55:24Speaker 6: to get loans in my name because we're married. She's
- 55:27Speaker 6: trying to screw me extra.
- 55:28Speaker 3: Oh, she turned into like a grifter.
- 55:30Speaker 6: Extra. Yeah, she tried to screw me extra. Really weird. Anyway.
- 55:33Speaker 3: Oh, jeez. But you never married her?
- 55:36Speaker 6: We were married, yeah. Oh, you were married. We were
- 55:38Speaker 6: married for two years together for four.
- 55:41Speaker 2: Oh. And this is the one that they always film
- 55:43Speaker 2: homeless with no teeth. And they try to blame Jeremy
- 55:47Speaker 2: for it, which always really irritates me because it's so
- 55:49Speaker 2: not the case.
- 55:50Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
- 55:50Speaker 6: Uh-oh, now the juicy scoop.
- 55:52Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 55:54Speaker 3: I've seen those posts before, and I didn't really know.
- 55:58Speaker 3: But when I would see it, without knowing who you are.
- 56:02Speaker 6: Jeremy, you piece of shit.
- 56:03Speaker 2: You did that to her.
- 56:04Speaker 3: I was like, whenever I see those stories, I'm like.
- 56:08Speaker 3: It's not your fault. Just like when someone's like, oh,
- 56:10Speaker 3: this is the brother of this celebrity. I'm like, stop.
- 56:13Speaker 3: No one's responsible for somebody as we're adults years later.
- 56:17Speaker 3: So she moves on and is at the Dan Bolzerian
- 56:22Speaker 3: parties and all this other stuff. And then she got addicted.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 56:27Speaker 6: I believe, you know.
- 56:28Speaker 3: And now she's like a homeless person in Venice.
- 56:31Speaker 6: Toothless, homeless, hairless, broken, filthy.
- 56:35Speaker 2: Massive mental illness.
- 56:37Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 56:38Speaker 2: Here's schizophrenia. Here's voices. Think she's going to electrocute people
- 56:41Speaker 2: by touching them. I mean, it's like people don't understand
- 56:43Speaker 2: the actual psychology of like, well, drugs are one thing,
- 56:46Speaker 2: but that's masking something.
- 56:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 56:48Speaker 2: It's, it's masking mental illness. It's part of it.
- 56:50Speaker 6: That's just something you do to survive out there. And,
- 56:53Speaker 6: but there was something that drove her there, which, you know,
- 56:55Speaker 6: I was trying to hold together for both of us.
- 56:58Speaker 6: I guess two broke people don't make a fixed.
- 56:59Speaker 2: Person, but you've tried to help her forever. That's why
- 57:02Speaker 2: people are like, Oh.
- 57:02Speaker 6: My God, you're so you're like, Jeremy, I can't.
- 57:04Speaker 2: Believe you left her that way. And it's like, Like,
- 57:06Speaker 2: how long ago is that now? Over a decade?
- 57:08Speaker 6: Well, that we were together? Yeah. Eight years? Yeah.
- 57:11Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like how long... I haven't seen her for
- 57:14Speaker 2: eight years. I mean, I have tried to help homeless
- 57:17Speaker 2: people before. They often don't want help. They are actually
- 57:21Speaker 2: at peace with where they're at.
- 57:23Speaker 6: Well, she's on record saying that exactly. I hope everybody
- 57:26Speaker 6: leaves me alone. I like where I'm at. I'm doing
- 57:28Speaker 6: exactly what I want to do.
- 57:29Speaker 3: Yeah, she has said that.
- 57:30Speaker 7: So.
- 57:32Speaker 3: Okay, so you're using what happened. How did you get
- 57:36Speaker 3: in jail? How long are you going from just starting
- 57:41Speaker 3: to do crystal meth again to the incident that put.
- 57:43Speaker 6: You in jail? Within a year. It happens quick for me.
- 57:47Speaker 6: Quick demise. Maybe six months.
- 57:50Speaker 3: Wow.
- 57:51Speaker 6: So I defended myself against an armed gunman who was
- 57:57Speaker 6: jacking me from a gang called CPA, Canoga Park, Alabama.
- 58:02Speaker 6: Bigger than me.
- 58:02Speaker 3: Because of Alabama Street?
- 58:03Speaker 6: Yes, exactly.
- 58:04Speaker 2: That's a cool t-shirt.
- 58:05Speaker 3: I know.
- 58:06Speaker 6: Bigger than me, scarier than me. More sold out for
- 58:10Speaker 6: the gang life. And I defended myself. And I got
- 58:15Speaker 6: a lot of credit for that. I got a lot
- 58:17Speaker 6: of like, hey, don't mess with this guy for that.
- 58:20Speaker 6: So then these other people came and they stole my car.
- 58:23Speaker 6: And I said, well, I know what I got to do.
- 58:26Speaker 6: I got to find these people and I got to
- 58:28Speaker 6: scare the shit out of them. And I got to
- 58:29Speaker 6: let them know I'm the guy you don't mess with.
- 58:31Speaker 6: Because if I'm going to be out here, I'm going
- 58:33Speaker 6: to continue to be taken advantage of, guns in my mouth,
- 58:36Speaker 6: robbed and stolen from. So I got to go get
- 58:39Speaker 6: this car back. And there was a scuffle. There was
- 58:42Speaker 6: two guys and a girl and there was a scuffle
- 58:45Speaker 6: and people got injuries and I'm the bad guy, you know,
- 58:48Speaker 6: because I went after them to get my car back.
- 58:50Speaker 2: There's also a singular documentary here.
- 58:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 58:52Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely.
- 58:54Speaker 6: So, you know, there was also the gunman that was
- 58:57Speaker 6: on record. tattling that I was the guy that stabbed him.
- 59:01Speaker 6: There was also the claims.
- 59:02Speaker 2: They said, Hobie, stab me.
- 59:03Speaker 6: Yeah, there was also.
- 59:03Speaker 2: Hobie, stab me.
- 59:04Speaker 3: Hobie, because that's your character name.
- 59:06Speaker 6: Oh my God.
- 59:06Speaker 2: Hobie, stab me.
- 59:07Speaker 6: Also the claims made by my, you know, sadly. slipping
- 59:11Speaker 6: from sanity wife. So the judge, the DA is like, oh,
- 59:14Speaker 6: wait a minute. We got this blonde damsel in distress.
- 59:18Speaker 6: He stabbed this guy almost to death. And now this,
- 59:20Speaker 6: we're putting his ass away. So I was looking at
- 59:24Speaker 6: big At least seven years in prison.
- 59:26Speaker 3: Really?
- 59:26Speaker 6: Scared shitless. Both lawyers that I had reached out to said,
- 59:32Speaker 6: this is the best it's ever going to get. The
- 59:33Speaker 6: other guy said, we can do an insanity plea. So
- 59:36Speaker 6: you can at least do your seven years like in
- 59:37Speaker 6: a mental health style jail rather than normal, normal jail.
- 59:41Speaker 6: And I was like, oh my gosh, I was in
- 59:44Speaker 6: jail for four months, like trying to fight this thing.
- 59:46Speaker 6: That's when everybody came to visit me. And Nicole, you know,
- 59:50Speaker 6: like she said in the documentary, she said, yeah, she said, no, no, no, no.
- 59:53Speaker 6: I'm going to call people. And she started calling people
- 59:56Speaker 6: and she found me a lawyer that that got me.
- 59:59Speaker 3: Who is a lawyer?
- 1:00:00Speaker 6: A year in jail. Alala Cameron.
- 1:00:02Speaker 7: Okay.
- 1:00:02Speaker 6: Alala Cameron. She got me a year instead of seven.
- 1:00:05Speaker 6: And I had to go to, I went to rehab
- 1:00:06Speaker 6: for like six months.
- 1:00:07Speaker 3: So you had to go to prison for one year.
- 1:00:09Speaker 6: Jail, luckily, which allowed me to get my strike removed.
- 1:00:12Speaker 6: So I'm not a violent.
- 1:00:13Speaker 3: So jail is nicer than prison.
- 1:00:15Speaker 6: Well, if you go to prison, you can't have your
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: strike removed for like an aggressive crime. Oh, okay. Um, so.
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: Meaning the three strike law.
- 1:00:23Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:00:23Speaker 6: Okay. So now the strikes removed it. The felony was
- 1:00:26Speaker 6: reduced to a misdemeanor instead of being a felony. It
- 1:00:29Speaker 6: was a, it was a miracle.
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: Did you have a roommate in the jail or did
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: you have her own cell?
- 1:00:33Speaker 6: Oh no, no. I had roommates. They didn't, They asked me,
- 1:00:36Speaker 6: when I went to jail, I'm standing in the line
- 1:00:40Speaker 6: to go through the x-ray machine. And they go, 7945,
- 1:00:45Speaker 6: back of the line. I'm just like sitting there. And
- 1:00:48Speaker 6: some dudes are like, dude, dude, that's you. I'm like, what?
- 1:00:51Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, crap. So I get out the back
- 1:00:53Speaker 6: of the line and we go for another 30 minutes. 7945,
- 1:00:57Speaker 6: back of the line. I'm like, that's me again? They
- 1:01:00Speaker 6: just kept putting me at the back of the line
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: until there was nobody else coming in. The doors were closed.
- 1:01:05Speaker 6: And I'm the last person through the x-ray machine. And
- 1:01:07Speaker 6: they go, dude, come here. Turn a computer screen. They go,
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: is this you? And they pull up some Baywatch stuff.
- 1:01:15Speaker 6: And I go, yeah. By the way, I have no tooth.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: I literally look like Charlie Manson. Like I really did.
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: And they go, is this you? They go, do you
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: need like protective custody? You know, which is where you
- 1:01:28Speaker 6: go hang out with the child molesters and the snitches
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: and all that kind of stuff. Um, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.
- 1:01:34Speaker 6: And don't do this to me. Like, don't like, no,
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: I'm going to walk in there. They're going to wonder
- 1:01:40Speaker 6: if I'm some kind of informant or something. You're making
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: like my life in danger. Like, please tell, ignore nobody.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:48Speaker 6: Um, that was a funny deal, but I did my time.
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: So did they, but did they, did it, was it doable? Like,
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: did they make it kind of okay?
- 1:01:56Speaker 6: Or was it, I got in a couple of fights.
- 1:01:59Speaker 6: I got a concussion. I was puking for a couple
- 1:02:01Speaker 6: of days.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: I mean, the kid's fucking scary. Like I remember I
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: knew of Jeremy and I was like, I don't want
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: to fuck with that guy. Cause we were actually doing
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: triathlons at the same time. And I would see him
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: like training and I'd be like, that dude's fucking pretty ripped.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: And I was like sort of competing with him at far,
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: but I knew his history. I'm like, I don't want
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: to fuck with that guy. Like he was, when I
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: first met him, I was like, I didn't know if
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: I loved the guy or was like absolutely terrified of him.
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: It was like this really weird, because all you do
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: is you hear things. You hear, you know, and I
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: remember I had a friend when I first moved to
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: LA whose mom was a casting director, and she would
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: just be like, oh, that's the kid from Baywatch that
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: does meth. Like, that's, like, what you were told.
- 1:02:38Speaker 3: Really?
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: And meth is, like, the worst drug, you know, to
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: your mind.
- 1:02:42Speaker 6: I'm definitely a Dr. Jekyll, Mr.
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: Hyde.
- 1:02:44Speaker 6: When I'm on the right path, I'm the best friend
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: you ever had, and when I'm on the wrong path, steer.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: So he was terrifying when I first met him. But
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: then I kind of got to know him, and I
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: just realized how honest and kind of open he was
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: and what just a great human being he is.
- 1:02:57Speaker 6: Takes what it takes.
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: He's probably terrible. I've never met him on math, which
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: is probably not a good one to meet.
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: And so what is, like, what are you doing now?
- 1:03:06Speaker 3: Obviously you worked on this, but, like, what else is
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: going on in your life professionally and personally?
- 1:03:11Speaker 6: Yeah, so I have a men's retreat in Costa Rica
- 1:03:14Speaker 6: we do every two and a half months. It's called
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: the Balanced Man Retreat, Freedom Through Discipline, Stoicism, Meditations, you know,
- 1:03:20Speaker 6: Overcoming Fears, Community. um, interconnection. We do a, we do
- 1:03:25Speaker 6: a lot of, uh, waterfall hikes and shooting bow and
- 1:03:28Speaker 6: arrows and surf and, you know, helping people catch their
- 1:03:30Speaker 6: first wave ever. But really, uh, it's a paradise out
- 1:03:33Speaker 6: there first and foremost, but coming together just as men, um,
- 1:03:37Speaker 6: and helping, you know, moms get better sons back and,
- 1:03:40Speaker 6: and sons get better dads back and employers get better
- 1:03:44Speaker 6: employees back or employees get better bosses back, sending, sending
- 1:03:47Speaker 6: men back out into the world, uh, a better version
- 1:03:50Speaker 6: of themselves, you know? So it's, that's a beautiful thing.
- 1:03:53Speaker 6: I run a company called Energy Wellness Group in Orange County.
- 1:03:55Speaker 6: We facilitate over 46 therapeutic wellness groups in rehabilitation centers
- 1:04:01Speaker 6: and mental health facilities and detoxes. So every day we're
- 1:04:05Speaker 6: out there meditating with people, loving on people, tuning their
- 1:04:08Speaker 6: chakras or teaching the power through constructive thinking and goal
- 1:04:12Speaker 6: setting and helping them win their day and survive.
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: In talking about your story of having the one glass
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: of wine after all those years and The rats and everything.
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: Very fascinating. Because I have spoken on this. I really
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: have no right to speak on it. In fact, because
- 1:04:29Speaker 3: I am not a therapist. I haven't studied it. But
- 1:04:32Speaker 3: I have said like, you know, there are people that
- 1:04:36Speaker 3: feel like AA doesn't work and that there are other
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: methods or maybe, maybe it was, your thing was cocaine.
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: And therefore a couple of years later, you can have
- 1:04:48Speaker 3: a beer here and there. And I've said that and
- 1:04:49Speaker 3: I've gotten people like angry with me that I've even
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: said that. And I'm like, I don't know because I've
- 1:04:56Speaker 3: never give, I had to give it up for any
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: other reason except, Oh, I'm taping something in three days
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: and I want to like look a little thinner and better.
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: Sure.
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: I've been very lucky. I do have alcoholics and stuff
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: within my family. And I think that's, One of the
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: reasons why I was like, oh my God, I enjoy
- 1:05:12Speaker 3: it so much and I like it so much and
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: I like the glassware, I like all the stuff. So
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: I think respected it to a level where I didn't
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: ever have to end up in Promises. But then there
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: was always that part that was like, I wonder if
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: I would like going to Promises.
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I told you, I used
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: to visit Britney Spears there.
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: Okay, tell us about that.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: This is actually a great segue. So I... did that
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: video in 2004, the toxic video.
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: And that was like, you're like one of the dancers
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: of the boyfriend.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: She makes out with him in the, in the, in
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: the airplane. Oh, so it's me, Tyson Beckford and, uh,
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Martin Henderson, I think.
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:05:50Speaker 7: Actor.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: And, um, so we met and I think she was
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: like interested, you know, and I was, and I was like,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: that's a little scary for me. Like not my thing.
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: And she was, she was not like kind of what
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: she is today, but she had like a very different
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: personality than I think, the public persona.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: Was, but this is before the shaved.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: Head really close.
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: And, um, so we, uh, I think she went off
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: and married Kevin Federline like around then. And, um, I
- 1:06:20Speaker 2: was friends with her manager. So I would like see
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: Larry and like whatever. And then I was dating an
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: actress and she ended up going to promises. And this
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: is around the same time. The actress that you're dating.
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: Yes.
- 1:06:31Speaker 7: Okay.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: This is around the same time that Brittany, um, was
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: you know shaved the head and did the whole thing
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: and i think she was separated from kevin at the
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: time so she ends up being fucking britney's roommate it
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: promises so here i am visiting my girlfriend and she's
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: like hi and she's like she's like pumping her breasts
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: for her children.
- 1:06:50Speaker 3: At the time yeah.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: And i'm like what i'm like i think i'm like
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: 26 27 i'm like what fucking reality do i live
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: in right now and there's like all these other actors
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: and i won't say their names because i don't think
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: it's ever been public that they were actually there but
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: it was like it was like the vanity fair fucking
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: party of like, we're up there. I'm visiting my girlfriend
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: with the writer of like 10 things I hate about you, Karen.
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: And then, um, she was the head of vanity fair
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: and now she's got a big job at Netflix. And
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: so I'm like sitting there like the fuck Brittany's got
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: her bobbed wig and breast pumping in the corner. And
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck is going on here? So anyways, I,
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: I had spent some time with her there and, um,
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: years later, Larry ran into me and I had broken
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: up with my girlfriend that I was with when, when
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: she was their roommates. And Larry's like, Hey, you know, um,
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: do you want to like, Brittany's having a, uh, a
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: barbecue at her house. And she lived up on like
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: Mulholland estate. It's funny. I still, I saved actually the,
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: the little pass you get when you go in there.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: Cause I just thought it was so fucking weird.
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: And I found it when I, when I moved recently,
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh, this is the past type thing. And, uh,
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: so I go up there thinking I'm going to a
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: barbecue and it's, Just me and her. Like, I got, like, trapped.
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: What year is this around?
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: 12, probably 2012. That's probably the last time I actually
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: spoke to her and stuff. And I, it was so awkward.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: She probably thinks I'm gay. Because, like, I was just,
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: I just, like, there was, obviously, I think she probably
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: wanted to hook up. But I just was, like, so
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: weird about it.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: I just left. I just fucking left. And there was, like,
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: a garage door opener they gave me that, like, had
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: opened all the gates. And she just gave it to me.
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: which is probably a security breach when you're britney spears
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: type thing so i like i got out and like
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: her bodyguard who i'd known for years i think it
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: was rob at the time he's like see you later
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: and uh i go do you need this he goes
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: she gave that to you yeah he goes let me
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: take that and i don't think i ever heard from
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: her again after that and that was that was it
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: that was it and that was i remember she had
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: to go film how i met your mother the next
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: day so that would that would the date.
- 1:09:01Speaker 3: What was crazy is she killed it in those sitcoms.
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: She was awesome.
- 1:09:04Speaker 3: She was great. She was awesome. What do you think
- 1:09:07Speaker 3: about now when you see her Instagram, post book?
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Well, I'll just put it out there because ABC has
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: been pushing me to try to get a Britney Spears
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: interview because they think like an actual reporter, like a
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Diane Sawyer or something like that, it wouldn't work. They
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: want someone unconventional like me. So they're like, if you
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: can facilitate that. So we would love to facilitate an
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: interview with her where she controls the interview top to bottom.
- 1:09:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: You know, I don't, I haven't, I haven't had any
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: contact with her in like over a decade. So it's like,
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: you don't, Things happen in people's lives. You know, there's
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: obviously a lot that happens in a decade. I'm not
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: the same person I was when I saw her in
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: rehab in 2010, and I can't imagine she's the same person.
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: My own personal thing is I think people reach a
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: breaking point when you're in the public eye like that
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: for so long. And I think even when I knew
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: her years and years and years and years ago, her
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: reality is so different from our reality. her reality is
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: so different from almost other celebrities because she, from a very,
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: very young age, is the earner and the boss to adults,
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: which totally fucks your, because when you're a child, the
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: adult is the person in power. It's the person you respect.
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: But when you're 18 years old and you're paying for
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: 25 people's salary and you realize that, then it's like, well,
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: why are you telling me to do what I want
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: to do? I think she's at a point where And
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: the whole Free Britney thing, I don't know if that
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: was a good or bad thing. It's really not my
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: place to say. But I think she was just fucking
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: tired of being controlled by everyone and tired of being
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: the moneymaker. And if I want to dance in my
- 1:10:51Speaker 2: room all fucking day long and put it on social media, again,
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: her reality is not our reality. she's not really probably
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: paying attention. People are like, oh my God, she looks crazy.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: Did you see her dancing with knives?
- 1:11:00Speaker 3: Well, there's no comments also. She has no comments. She
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: just sees the likes and the views.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: She doesn't give a fuck.
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: So, yeah.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: And that is sort of beautiful in its own way
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: because someone like her is... always judged from what she
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: looks like to what she's doing. Oh, her teeth look different. Oh, this,
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: that like no one. And that was sort of even
- 1:11:20Speaker 2: coming back to the Baywatch actors.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: Speaking of the teeth though, I want to say, yeah,
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: because that is something that, you know, conspiracy theories were like,
- 1:11:28Speaker 3: it's not her or whatever. I think it's always been her.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: She took a fucking retainer out.
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: But I think the teeth moved.
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: Just retainer. She probably had a wire.
- 1:11:34Speaker 3: Some people say the teeth are, could be.
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: No.
- 1:11:38Speaker 6: Um, Are they filed way down?
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: No.
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: They just have spaces. But they still are like white
- 1:11:46Speaker 3: and like look okay. They're just not together.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: I feel it's either you have bonds or you had
- 1:11:52Speaker 2: a wire in them. Because a lot of people have
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: a wire in their bottom or upper teeth that keep
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: them together forever. And she probably just doesn't give a fuck.
- 1:12:00Speaker 6: If you're a little kid and you have spaces and
- 1:12:01Speaker 6: you get braces to put your teeth together and then
- 1:12:03Speaker 6: you don't wear your retainer to keep them there, they'll
- 1:12:06Speaker 6: spread back out.
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: Also, too, if you look at even, look at like
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: pretty actors, even male ones, they get tired of being
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: told they're pretty.
- 1:12:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: And the most beautiful people often rebel against being beautiful.
- 1:12:21Speaker 6: That's why I have the beard. Yeah.
- 1:12:22Speaker 2: And well, it's just, you don't give a fuck. Like
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: you look at Jared Leto in his younger career, the
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: dude is like as pretty as a woman, but he
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: would always fight it like fight club. He plays this
- 1:12:31Speaker 2: weird guy that gets the shit kicked out of him
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: that has bleach blonde hair. You know, he, he would
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: always have choices to play against type. And I think
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: people like, Britney Spears they've just been so sexualized their
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: whole lives that you know what fuck it I got
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: space between my teeth if I want to fix it
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: I can fix it and if I don't who cares.
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: I have a couple more questions before I forget there's
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: a part in the show where on your 16th birthday
- 1:12:56Speaker 3: they present you with this car.
- 1:12:59Speaker 6: That a rocket ship did you see that.
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: Thing so was it a real car.
- 1:13:03Speaker 6: You know in the recovery program you gotta work on
- 1:13:06Speaker 6: these resentments right this one I just can't let go
- 1:13:09Speaker 6: of man David Hasselhoff gives me this super car on
- 1:13:12Speaker 6: my 16th birthday.
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: So it's like a red convertible?
- 1:13:15Speaker 6: E-Entertainment come down to cover it, and it gives me
- 1:13:19Speaker 6: a giant gift box with a smaller box inside, with
- 1:13:22Speaker 6: a smaller box inside, with a smaller box inside, until
- 1:13:24Speaker 6: I get down to this little box and just drew
- 1:13:27Speaker 6: it out on E-Entertainment. Look at David Hasselhoff, such a
- 1:13:30Speaker 6: caring guy, such a loving guy. Here's this car for
- 1:13:33Speaker 6: my 16th birthday of my TV son. I'm the best dad,
- 1:13:37Speaker 6: and I never got the car. I'm still waiting for
- 1:13:39Speaker 6: the car.
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: So wait, so you took a photo with it and
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: then what? A video.
- 1:13:42Speaker 6: They did a whole segment on it on ET.
- 1:13:44Speaker 3: But where did the car go after the cameras left?
- 1:13:47Speaker 6: Ask David, man. I just never got it.
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: But when they did the whole thing, then you were like.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: They raffled it off.
- 1:13:52Speaker 6: The story goes.
- 1:13:53Speaker 3: Then did you go, oh, well, can I drive it home?
- 1:13:55Speaker 3: And they're like, what?
- 1:13:56Speaker 6: The story goes, they wanted to build me a custom
- 1:13:58Speaker 6: one that was a little safer than that one that
- 1:14:00Speaker 6: had a roll bar in it.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
- 1:14:02Speaker 6: And then the company went bankrupt before they finished the
- 1:14:05Speaker 6: car and we never got the car.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:14:07Speaker 6: But, you know, is that an excuse not to get
- 1:14:09Speaker 6: me some other car?
- 1:14:11Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:14:11Speaker 6: I didn't get my driver's license until I was 24.
- 1:14:13Speaker 6: That's how long I waited for David Hasselhoff to give
- 1:14:15Speaker 6: me a freaking car. I swear. Hand to God.
- 1:14:19Speaker 3: The other thing I was going to ask is, let
- 1:14:21Speaker 3: me just get your guys' opinion on everything that's happening
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: with P. Diddy and Justin Bieber.
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: All I see is dildos and baby oil. That's dominated
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: the news cycle.
- 1:14:32Speaker 6: Is it baby oil?
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: Baby oil and dildos. 784 dildos?
- 1:14:35Speaker 6: I saw all the oil, but the oil looked a
- 1:14:40Speaker 6: little yellow and baby oil was clear. I'm very curious
- 1:14:43Speaker 6: as to what kind it is.
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: I don't know that we've actually seen a bottle of
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: the actual, what brand it was, but that's what was
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: in the report.
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: All the guys that went down, you know, me coming
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: here in the early 2000s at like 20 years old,
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: we knew those guys were bad. Like everyone knew. You know,
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Russell Simmons went down. Everyone knew. Everyone knew that P.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: Diddy was doing shit. Maybe not to the extent, but
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: you knew that there was bad shit going on.
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: With women and men? Because you being in the modeling industry.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: Yes, there's always the rumors of, oh, so-and-so's gay, so-and-so's gay,
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: this actor's gay. And then that was at the time
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: where you had gay bookers and stuff like that where
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: they would just say everyone was gay. You're like, oh, well,
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: they say everybody's gay. So you don't really believe it.
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: But I mean, those rumors... Everyone knew. I mean, everyone
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: knew what you were getting into with Harvey Weinstein if
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: you got invited. Like, no one didn't know. It was
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: just unsaid. And these people were making money for the industry. So,
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: you know, the industry normally hides these people until they
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: can't any longer. And then when they can't any longer,
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: you get eaten quickly. Right. But, I mean, if some
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: random fucking kid from Wisconsin knows danger, danger, danger, danger,
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: trust me, people a little bit higher up in the
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: industry know as well.
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: So as a good-looking young model male, though you're straight,
- 1:16:06Speaker 3: were you invited to parties?
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: I used to get invited. I mean, I was talking
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: to my wife the other night, and we were actually
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: talking about the P. Diddy thing, and I was like, again,
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: just being fucking stupid with my movie. I had been
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: so close to really bad shit happening and being completely
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: oblivious that it was even there. You go to these parties,
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: and because I was sort of innocent, I never did drugs.
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: I never really drank. I was sort of like the
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: fly on the wall that liked to see everything, but
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: I wanted to be in control all the time. But
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: I mean, really sketchy shit. Like I used to cater
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: when I didn't have any money. When I first moved here,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: I used to cater for a company and they used
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: to send me to not just cater. I'd do like
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: the door for like these real sort of high profile,
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: like gay men, um, and, and do the door and stuff.
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: What do you mean do the door?
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: Like, basically just be the guy at the front. Be like, oh,
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: you can come in. You can come in. You can
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: come in. Like, with a clipboard of, like, names.
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: Oh, okay, got it.
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: And really, everyone can come in. They just want you
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: standing up front. Right. So the party looks good. Yeah, exactly.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: But some of the shit that ended up going down
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: at those parties, because I would just do my thing
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: and take my money and I'd go home. But, like,
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: if you stayed a little later, that's when the bad
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: shit happened. And, yeah, I mean, I have been that
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: close to... to, you know, sort of like a Diddy
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: type experience with numerous high profile people, but just actually
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: not realizing it's happening until years later when they go
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: down for something else, you're.
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: Like, oh. Can you explain like a little bit of
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: like where you didn't really realize like that you were,
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: you know, in this position or that you were being
- 1:17:39Speaker 3: like secretly propositioned and you just were like too naive
- 1:17:41Speaker 3: to see it?
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: Um, yeah, I did a, I did a funny, like
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: this is 20 years before I even lived in Malibu. Um,
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: I was to do a party for a really high
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: music executive. Um, and his friend who's a, who was
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: a big music manager who died, um, very well known,
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: openly gay, powerful men. And yeah, that party was fucking yuck. Like, like,
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: like gross. But I saw it sort of start to happen,
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: but I'm just like, these are just gay guys, you know, they,
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: they like men and like whatever I don't. So I'm
- 1:18:17Speaker 2: going to go home and, They're going to do their thing.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: No judgment. Like it is what it is. But then
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: the non-consensual, like if you want to do weird shit
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: and it's two consensual adults.
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: Who cares?
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: It's not my business. But when it's underage.
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: And you saw some of that.
- 1:18:34Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: And it's like, and I don't know how underage these
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: people were, but they definitely were like bridging 18. And
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: these men were, you know, 70, 60s, which is weird. And,
- 1:18:45Speaker 2: you know, I used to see it with straight guys too.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: You know, same thing. It's just we were not, I
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: think by mid-2000s we were a little bit more aware,
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: but I think early 2000s, I think even like with,
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: you know, Nicole and the Scott situation, you know, it
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: was technically probably consensual, but Nicole's underage. That's the problem.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: But Scott's generation, that was happening all the time. I mean,
- 1:19:11Speaker 2: if you look at like, I've seen like online, they
- 1:19:13Speaker 2: put like performers like Mick Jagger dated a 14-year-old when
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: he was 30. Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley.
- 1:19:19Speaker 6: Jerry Lee Lewis.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: It's not correct, but it was somehow accepted. And I think...
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: you know, there's these generation as things change, they don't.
- 1:19:29Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: And they're like, what do you mean? I was dating
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: a 14 year old when I was 20. No one
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: gave a shit. It was fine.
- 1:19:33Speaker 5: You know?
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: Right. But it's not, it's just that people used to
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: turn a blind eye to it and they don't anymore.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: And I think even in the early two thousands, you're
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: aware that it's wrong, but you're like, I don't know.
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: Maybe that's just how Hollywood is. That's what you, that's
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: just what it is. That's just what you do. Right.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: Cause I remember there were photographers that I, that, you know,
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: we were, we worked with that, mine never had an
- 1:19:54Speaker 2: issue with that got me to and canceled some of
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: the best photographers in the world. Um, they were incredible,
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: super respectful. But if you were a straight guy and
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: you were willing to do whatever it took to get
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: the cover or get the campaign or whatever, we can
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: maybe happen. That's probably why I wasn't very successful. Um, yeah. Yeah.
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: Same thing.
- 1:20:16Speaker 2: Didn't polish enough knobs, you know, the.
- 1:20:18Speaker 3: Thing with the girls, you know, and I'm like, yeah,
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: I look at like some other people, um, That I
- 1:20:23Speaker 3: came up with that were funny women too. And they had,
- 1:20:28Speaker 3: you know, boyfriends and things that helped, were powerful or
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: write them into things and stuff. And I just never,
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: that just wasn't the path I had.
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: And I don't even fault the people that do because
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: I think a lot of the people that do, they
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: are in the relationship. I don't either. in their mind
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: they like this person for that amount of time and
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: they're helping them go to the next level and whatever.
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: If it's consensual and you're two adults, I don't care.
- 1:20:53Speaker 2: There can be a 40-year age gap. You're still adults.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: It is what it is type thing. But I just
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: think that Hollywood for the longest time sort of just
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: got away with the hall pass and be like, well,
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: that's just how it is. Like if you want to
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: work with this guy, just kind of how it is.
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: Maybe it'll work for you. Maybe it won't. But if
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: you do a little extra– you're probably going to do
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: better type thing.
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: I think the thing that always bothers me about sexual harassment, what,
- 1:21:18Speaker 3: you know, from the most innocent level to the worst
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: in Hollywood is not the people that play along and
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: it helps. It's the people that maybe didn't play along.
- 1:21:29Speaker 3: And then you're like blackballed and they're, or they're nerd
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: or they just, They hit on you and they are
- 1:21:36Speaker 3: afraid that now you're going to share that story so
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: they're going to make sure you're never.
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: In a room of powerful people to share the story.
- 1:21:43Speaker 3: That's the part that pisses me off the most.
- 1:21:45Speaker 2: Yeah, but I never, when someone hit on you, I'm
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: always flattered. Gay or straight, you know? It's always like, oh,
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: that's nice. I'm just, not for me, but thanks.
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: Right, right. But there's been cases where it's like, like with,
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: you know, Louis C.K. jacking off in front of women
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: that didn't ask to be jacked off in front of.
- 1:22:04Speaker 7: And.
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: That's a little awkward.
- 1:22:05Speaker 3: And, yeah, and I.
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: I really liked him, too, and it gave me a really...
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: I'm like, God, he's such a smart comic, and seeing the....
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: The thing that pissed me off most about that whole
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: thing is that the girls that, you know, that it
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: happened to after this comedy festival thing, and they were like...
- 1:22:23Speaker 3: They were literally like, is this a joke, and that
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: it's happening, and they had each other, and they left.
- 1:22:27Speaker 3: It was like they could not get a job after
- 1:22:30Speaker 3: that as comedy writers, and I was like, that's because.
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: He was afraid what he saw.
- 1:22:34Speaker 3: Yeah, he was like, I don't want these girls telling
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: this story of what a creep I was because he
- 1:22:39Speaker 3: realized they weren't happy about it and they weren't really
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: participatory and cool with it. So then he was like, oh,
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: I misjudged that one. Let's make sure this story never
- 1:22:48Speaker 3: gets out. And that's what bothers me the most about, hey,
- 1:22:53Speaker 3: if you sleep with the person willingly and get the
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: part and then go, great, I never have to sleep
- 1:22:58Speaker 3: with another gross person again because now everyone sees my
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: talent and off we go.
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: Fine, use your sexuality. Use it as long as you
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: chose to use it.
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: They realize it is a powerful thing. I mean, yeah,
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: I don't know. I just, there are things, you know,
- 1:23:15Speaker 2: there's things that I've seen that, you know, you could
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: say and you could probably really hurt someone's, you know,
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: credibility or whatever. But the fact of the matter is
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: it's like, I hold on to it. It happened. There's
- 1:23:26Speaker 2: no reason to hurt someone because they hurt you 30
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: years ago type thing. I always find out that any
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: of these people that are, you know, quote unquote bad people,
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: it always comes to the surface. It's just, it may
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: not be your story. Cause trust me, they did it
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: to you. They did it to five other people and
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: strengthen numbers that one of the five is going to
- 1:23:43Speaker 2: come forward. And if you get a me too moment,
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: all five are going to come forward. Maybe 25 will
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: come forward.
- 1:23:47Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: So I don't know. I, any stories I tell, whether
- 1:23:51Speaker 2: it be Brittany and rehab or stuff like that, those
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: are not, damning stories. I mean, everyone knows that she
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: was there. I just happened to be there, which I
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: thought was bizarre.
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:23:59Speaker 6: Would you guys be okay with me jacking off in
- 1:24:00Speaker 6: front of you right now? I'm just thinking about what
- 1:24:04Speaker 6: kind of mind enjoys jacking off in front of people
- 1:24:08Speaker 6: that don't want to be jacked off in front of?
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: People are weird. It's a weird power thing. Who knows? Well, listen,
- 1:24:16Speaker 3: on that note.
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: On publicly masturbation.
- 1:24:18Speaker 6: It wasn't enough. I just, it wasn't enough.
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: After Baywatch 4 episodes on Hulu now, you can stream it.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: Is there anything else? Where can people follow you? What
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: else do you have coming up?
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: To be honest with you, I'm at a stage where
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing next, if anything.
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: I mean, I may just fuck around and be a
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: dad in Malibu and have some kids and call it
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: a day because I... Overworked myself for the past five years.
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: Jeremy's got his retreats. You can follow him. Yeah.
- 1:24:51Speaker 3: I love that.
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: Jeremy Jackson fitness. I just created Instagram because of this.
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I didn't have Instagram prior to this. So I have one,
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: but it's not worth following.
- 1:25:01Speaker 6: I thought I was going to get rich making a
- 1:25:03Speaker 6: documentary about the guy who lost $ 4 million on a
- 1:25:06Speaker 6: Baywatch documentary. I'm almost bummed it's doing so well because
- 1:25:11Speaker 6: I was like, dude, that's the documentary. You're eating out
- 1:25:13Speaker 6: of trash cans. What in the world made you think
- 1:25:17Speaker 6: that this cheesy show was going.
- 1:25:19Speaker 3: To do well? I do appreciate your kind of explaining
- 1:25:21Speaker 3: because until there was streaming, I never really saw a
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: lot of documentaries. There'd be a documentary like Oscar thing
- 1:25:29Speaker 3: and I'd be sitting at home as a 15-year-old and
- 1:25:31Speaker 3: I'm like, where do people even watch these documentaries? Whatever.
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: Now we all watch them. Now we're all experts on them.
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: There's a lot of value to them.
- 1:25:38Speaker 3: But so many times I'd be watching them and they'd
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: be going on for years and years and years and
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: I would wonder... who is paying for this? Where is
- 1:25:47Speaker 3: this person staying at the hotel? How are they following,
- 1:25:50Speaker 3: how are they capturing all this?
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: That's what I think the actors didn't realize because they
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: just thought it was, I'm like, guys, who the fuck
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: do you think, every time I roll a camera, it's
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: like at least five, it's between five and $ 30, 000. If
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: it's Carmen Electra who has like hair and makeup team,
- 1:26:04Speaker 2: you're not paying her, but you have to pay for
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: her deal. And I go, where do you think, like,
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: the money comes from? You think it just falls from
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: the fucking sky? Like, we can't fuck these up. Like,
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: if you want to do this interview, I need to
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: know what the story is and you need to be
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: on today because we're not doing it again.
- 1:26:20Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: So, yeah, I don't think people realize that, you know,
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: these things are labors of love and, you know, even
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: though Baywatch is a commercial, probably safer subject, no one's
- 1:26:33Speaker 2: getting rich doing these things. Yeah. Nobody's getting rich. I mean,
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: we heard, like, One of my friends overheard at the
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: rap party, or not rap party, the premiere party, of
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: how much I sold this for. And it was some, like,
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: ridiculous fucking number.
- 1:26:45Speaker 3: So it wasn't correct.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: And I was like, that would be fucking great. But no,
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: not even close. Like, put a minus in front of it,
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: you know? But, you know, I probably could have made
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: a little bit of a profit on this if I
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: would have done a different route and sold the territory
- 1:27:01Speaker 2: rather than all world. Or if you would have talked trash.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: on everybody well no not that I don't think that
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: would enhance it I just think I wanted the actors
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: to get the bang for their buck and I wanted
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: myself to get my bang for the buck I mean
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: they put in a couple million dollars of print advertising
- 1:27:16Speaker 2: for this yeah which you don't really get in documentary
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: yeah and they were really behind this and they really
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: promoted it and Disney was it was the the best
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: deal for everybody um maybe not financially but if you're
- 1:27:29Speaker 2: going in a documentary to make money you're going to
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: the wrong business to start with right um But to
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: be able to sell a product, not only a 90-minute movie,
- 1:27:38Speaker 2: but to be able to sell a self-funded four-part series
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: that had zero distributor and zero pre-sale from the beginning
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: to someone that's never done this before, who sold it
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: by himself to Disney, it's like a lottery ticket. I mean,
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: it's like my friends that are in the film business,
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: the big agents are like, oh, dude, we should do
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: this documentary.
- 1:27:58Speaker 3: I go, dude.
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: My business model is the worst fucking business model you
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: could ever... It doesn't work. It's literally just because I
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: wouldn't stop and because people kept trying to push me,
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: I just said, fuck it. There's no way we're going
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: to fail at this. I just refused to fail. And
- 1:28:14Speaker 2: if it wasn't for Muriel Pearson at ABC News, who
- 1:28:17Speaker 2: I had met just doing a free interview, I don't
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: think we would have had a deal.
- 1:28:22Speaker 6: We love you, Muriel.
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: I don't think we'd have a deal.
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: Well, this has been awesome. Everybody watch... I watch it.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: It's really interesting. It's really a cool piece of pop
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: culture history, TV history. So I think, you know, it'll
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: be interesting to watch if you're not over it. aware
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: of it.
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: And you don't even have to like Baywatch to watch it.
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: There's a lot of human interest stories in it.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: It's very universal.
- 1:28:46Speaker 3: Yeah, and kind of like just a Hollywood story, basically.
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Thanks, guys.
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: They think you're done for the day, but they don't
- 1:28:57Speaker 4: know about the drawer. The drawer. Just the one square
- 1:29:03Speaker 4: before bed. Or two, you know. Nobody's watching.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: You deserve a treat.
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: With eight flavours to choose from, you can choose the
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: flavour you favour with Cadbury Dairy Milk.
