  Speaker 1: tell people this all the time. When you engage in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: social media and you read things over and over again,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you start to believe them. And now just you feel
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like you're a target for everybody.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you something that's funny that you said that,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: because you remember when we first started dating, if there
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: was ever an article, because I wasn't used to this,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the only thing that I would have an article would
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: be would be like, oh he produced this movie and
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And and then I start dating you,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and it's like there's an article every week, whether it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: about my weight, whether it's about you know, our relationship.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: And I was having melt I used to call you
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and have meltdowns. I was like I can't deal with this.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: This is a insane and then you're like, get over it.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: It's not a big deal, move on, don't read the ship.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: But you're and I'm just I want to say this
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to your credit. You used to tell me don't read
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the ship if you can't take it, and that is
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the best advice. And what happened was I just stopped reading.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I just think you know, because it's not your real life.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Your real life is what we have and that is
• 6:23

  Speaker 2: know you're a real person. What am I a puppets?
• 7:55

• 15:46
  Speaker 2: last couple of years, it's been a lot. And honestly,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think it bothers me, and I think it's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: just something kind of weird for me because I'm such
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a behind the scenes person. I'm like, why are they
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: coming up to it all on La LA's fiance. So no,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I don't get it out get annoyed because I know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the person that I'm engaged to has a
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: lot of fans.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: So there you go, Thank you, bab Okay, nextes, next question.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to call and say that I'm obsessed
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: with a podcast. I've been obsessed with both of you
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: since day one. I'm a huge fan, and so I
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: wanted to call and ask Randall. In the beginning of
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the show and when you and Blahlah were a secret
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and you were mystery man, actually just my man, how
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: did you deal with everything James Kennedy would always throw
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: out about you and did you ever want to just
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: beat him up? I just want to know how you
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: felt about the situation and how you and La La
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: handled that behind closed doors. So thanks, love the podcast,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Love you guys.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't think I wanted to
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: beat anybody up. I think it was just like I
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: was kind of shocked that I didn't really know this
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: person at that time, and I just didn't understand what
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: it was all about, Like why I was continually being
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: mentioned on a TV show about you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Know that you wanted to know part of that is correct.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: And also that a I want to know part of
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: it be like why was I even being referenced but
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not even part of it, So it was really
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: it was a hurtful situation. It obviously angered me.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: You definitely were hurt by that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: I was hurt, but I was and I was also anger,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: which is which anger is a mass for hurt, just
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: because I was so shocked that like, why was I
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: being brought into this at the same token? You know,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: how did I deal with it? Obviously I had laala
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to babe. I used to talk to you about it,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and obviously I would tell you about my feelings towards it.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: But you always defended me because I couldn't defend myself
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: because I wasn't on the show.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I will always defend you, baby.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I know, baby. And then and then I think, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: think the way we handle things is always behind closed doors.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: We just talk it out and we realized that this
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: is not the real life and what people.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: We go on a tangent, we talk a lot of
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: shit about other people, and then we get over it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: That's what happened behind closed doors. Very well, I'll be
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: realistic and you remain kosher.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: I love it all right. So those are some great
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: voice mails. Now we have to get to our next
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: guest for for week four is this week four Week four.

• 19:05
  Speaker 2: lot to me personally that you're having me on the

• 20:06
  Speaker 2: So I've been to the Oscars a couple of times before,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: never in this position, like we're Best Picture nomination. It's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: it's a weird thing. The whole day is surreal because
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you remember as a kid that you know, you watch
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the Oscars, you have Oscar viewing parties. Everybody talks about that.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Even if you're not in the movie business. You want

• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you're you're looking at it, You're like, wow, we really

• 20:31
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. I got ready at one o'clock. You,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I got the car, went over and met everybody. It
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: was I was really excited. I just I didn't know.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I didn't really have expectations time, just because I think
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I have more fun without expectations. And we went through
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: the security checks and we got to the Red carpet
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and it's just amazing. It's like the Red Carpet's like
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: a mile long. There's thousands of interview journalists and photographers.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: There's over the biggest night in Hollywood, biggest night. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: was like prom night here, but even more than that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: One of the funniest moments is there's two funny moments.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: But so I'm walking the red carpet with everybody, all
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: the producers on the team, and you know, I'm whatever.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm taking it all in. I'm instagramming. I'm like,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to get that selfie that I was here,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you know. And as I'm walking past, like they have
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: a risers with like five hundred fans just getting to
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: see the celebrities as I'm walking by, and I thought
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: it was a joke. I I hear something and they're
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: like ran and I'm like, Wow, they know me. I'm
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like a successful producer yeh. And I look up and
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: there's like, like, you know, a couple of people and
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, hi, waving, like as the big movie
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: producer that I am, and they're like, where's La La?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, is this for real? Vander pumpt Rules
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: has followed me.

• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I know, I know. I knew you. I knew
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: you were gonna get off on that. So that was
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: pretty cool because it was nice that anybody recognized from that,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: but as your fiance, So that was really sweet and
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: I missed you. Another funny moment is Spike Lee was
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: doing an interview on ABC Yes and everybody was blowing
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: me up because I was standing on there.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: It's amazing because it was it was like my Meryl
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Street moment at the SAG Awards. You got with Spike Lee,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: who was repping Kobe Bryant so hard.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: You know, we you know, Emma, my producer partner knows
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: him well, and they shook hands to alone. He introduced
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: himself to me and I was just like what I
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: just said, You're like my hero. He's like one of
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: my favorite directors from She's got to Have It from
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: do the right thing, you know, I mean, this is
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: one of the most iconic filmmakers we have, so and
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: then he was wrapping.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Super familiar with film. I mean, I'm getting to be
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: familiar because you're doing my fiance. But even I know
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: who that is. Even I know missed.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: A spike, but he was repping Kobe. What a beautiful
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: outfit he got on.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: To such a tribute. It was amazing.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So anyway, so then you know, you get in there
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: and you're you're on the red card, but you're doing
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: all that. You're on there for almost an hour, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: then we get inside and you're starting to walk up
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and you see the Oscar statues and it's just like
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it's really surreal when you're there, the whole experience, right,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: because it's almost just like, oh, it's another award show.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: But it's the it's not like another award show.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: You don't, you know, it's hard to Comprehence like when
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: you watch it on TV, it's the Oscars. Right when
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: you're there, even though you know it's the Oscars, I
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: don't know if it makes sense, doesn't register because you're
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: like two overwhelmed. Okay, it's two overwhelmed. The whole thing
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: was overwhelmed. So wait one last thing. Yeah, and you're
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: seeing every movie star you grew up with walking by you.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I can't even imagine, because I went with you
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: to Vanity Fair and even that was like holy shit,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Like these are real celebrities. I can't believe I'm in
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the same room that they're in. Like I wouldn't even
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: do the carpet at Vanity Fair because I was so
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: intimidated by just the whole thing.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean so, so I think for me, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you were just honoring our work and all that stuff.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: So no, I think that I try to like, I'm overwhelmed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting with the greatest filmmakers in the world.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I'm sick. So for me, I grew up on Spike Lee,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I grew up on Martin Scorsese, I grew up on
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: on de Niro, Paccino Pastchi, all these. So for me,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, I'm here with my own movie.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It's hard to register. But once you get past all that,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: then you just try to enjoy the show. And you know, look,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I knew it was a long shot we were going
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to win, so there was no expectation there, but you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: you really are just proud to say, wow, we would
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: look where we came from. We're all here celebrating this night.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Take it all in, try to just be in the moment.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: And that's what I did. And then was cool because
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: then I got to meet up with you and we
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: went to Vanity Fair, which you do have this thing
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: which people probably don't know. It's called high level anxiety
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: social anxiety. And sometimes you're good for about eleven minutes
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: at an event. Yeah, this was that night. Ye.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It took me about two hours to get ready and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I stayed for all of forty five minutes maximum max.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: We might it might have been thirty.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: But back to you, my sweet guest.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, But then we went to Vanity Fair and that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: was awesome. We were with Marty and we were with everybody.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: So you had this incredible night. But what I would
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: like to ask you, how did you get to where
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you are today? Like your journey when you you know,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: were a young kid. Now you're at the fucking Oscars.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how that happened, to be honest,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Know how that happened because I heard the story.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: You didn't get lucky. I got lucky.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: You didn't get lucky. You worked very hard.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Listen, you get a little lucky and you meet some
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: special people. Look in a nutshell. You're right. You work hard.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: You have to put in the work. You have to
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: take the disappointment for many, many years of just struggling
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: and trying to make it. And that's kind of what happened.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: When my stray went to film school in New York City,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I produced my first feature when I was in college.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I moved out to Los Angeles with no money. I
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: slept on my friend's couch. I you know, had not
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: a nickel to my name, and you know, just had to,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: you know, figure it out. And so I was an
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: assistant then at a talent agency, and from there I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: worked for my best friend Mark, who you know aka
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Markey Mark, and he gave me a job when I
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: really really was down and out.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Was that your first job in Hollywood with with market mind?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: My first job was at ICM, a talent agency where
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I was an assistant. Okay, then I and Mark and
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I had become friends just through mutual friends, and he
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: had asked me to work for him.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: So when your parents decided I'm cutting you off, that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: was bad. That was a bad day. Was that when
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: you went out and got a job at ICM.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my parents were like shipping me a little bit
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: of money every month to keep me going. But then
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: they had given me like a six month shout. I
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: was very lucky that I had parents that were able
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: to help me out, because a lot of people don't
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: have that. So I was, you know, very lucky. But
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I was also probably maybe a little lazy, a little
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: into going out more, you know.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: In La, like most people are when they come to La,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: they get caught up.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: You get caught up. So I think I was a
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: little caught up. And so my parents gave me about
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: a six month shout out. I didn't believe him because
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I thought, there's just still keep it going. And then
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the month that it was all supposed to end, they
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: called me up and I said, listen, I'm about to
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: get evicted and I have a notice for my car
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: being repossessed. I need a little cash, right you just
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: help me out. And they said, we have been telling
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you for four or five months that you need a
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: full time job. And I would saying, you don't understand.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be a producer and I'm trying to
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: raise money and I'm trying to do this and I'm
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: trying to put it all together, and you don't understand.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I have to network. I have to go out to
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the nightclubs and network, and you know, I meet these
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: trust fund kids and they'd be buying bottles and I'd
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: be like, oh my god, you're gonna give me a
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: million dollars for a movie. Of course we're two million
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: or three millions.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Of course they're drunk when they're telling you this beyond right.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: And they're trust funds are probably you know, ten grand
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: a month, whatever it was. And you know, they were
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: leading me on, and I wanted to believe whatever they
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: were telling me, so that that day came. I'll never forget.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: My mom reminds me of it to this day. If
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I could read Brian the Clock, I would not say
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: the things I said. But it was out of desperation,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and I was scared. I was desperate, I was, you know,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: And so I called my parents up and they called
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: me sorry after I had said up, we need to
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: talk about I need a loan for this month. And
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: they called me up and they said, we love you
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: very much, and they end my parents and listen, I
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: am so appreciated. I want to just preface this because
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I want to come off with some swolled kid. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: had parents that worked hard and provided me, and I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: was very lucky they were able to support me and
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: put me through college. Very appreciative. But what I want
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: to say now is that at that time, I needed
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: the rent, and so I called. They called me and
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: they said, we're not We're not doing it. We're we're
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: not paying the rent and we're not paying your car
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: payment and you're going to need to figure it out.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: We asked you for three months to get a full
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: time job. You have told us all the things I
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: told them, and we are stopping it today. And I said,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: they didn't care if you.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Do.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They noticed I was on like day two because I
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: thought for sure they're going to come through. So now
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: they they evicted me. They picked up my car that
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: went away, and I had nothing. So I moved upstairs
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to my friend's place, my buddy SIGHI. I moved up
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: into his place and I lived on his couch. And
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: here's the worst part. He had a yin Yang couch,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: a yin Yang like you know, the yin Yang sea,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: So like, who, Like, who the fuck has a yin
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yang couch? Like this guy can't. He's like that though.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: He always is like a weird thing, like everything has
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to be fucking different, you know, Like he's the guy
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: that builds like three fucking fish tanks in a wall
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: in a living like why yeah, yeah, And he's my buddy.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I love him. He was there for me, so I
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: move upstairs. I'm like, now I gotta live on a
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: yin yang couch? Was like half an ass, so I'm
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: falling off, you know. I mean it was a torture.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Couldn't just have a regular couch to sleep on. Our
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: other friend slept on the floor behind the couch.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: So wow, y'all were all fucking degenerated.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: We were like, yeah, we were. We're broke as they come.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, I will tell you something. If my
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: parents didn't do that to me, I don't think i'd
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: have any I would be nowhere where I am today because,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: let me tell you, it gives you razor focus, lightning focus.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And within six months, true story, within six months of
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: them cutting me off and me having nothing, And I
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: remember I had to take a bike to the office
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: that it was rookie on. That's how bad it was.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: They didn't have Uber. Okay, so all you young people,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Uber didn't exist, Okay. I was either in a yellow
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: taxi or on the bike. And within six months I
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: had raised I had literally raised. I had met George
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Furle and my partner. George had raised the money for us,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: and I did my first feature film, I think within
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: nine months of that. As much as you raise well.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I told George the budget when I first met him,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: because I was so desperate to make a movie. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: told him budget was like four or five hundred grand.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It was one point eight million in the end, but
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I told him because I just needed a paycheck, so
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I needed it whatever it took. I said, in four
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: hundred grand, it's all you got, let's make the movie.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: And George was last. George last to this day. But
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: when we got into it, because this budget is at four
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: hundred grand, and he's like, and I go, yeah, I
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: just said we could make it for four hundred as
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: though we'll make it for like an and he raised
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the money for like a million a half dollars. Back then,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: it was a lot. So we went made this first movie.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I at my check. True story I had. I was.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I was subletting like a room in somebody's house. At
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: that point, I'd moved into like somebody's house. And I
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: went home to Florida because I was so broke and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: waiting for this movie to happen. And I was at
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: my parents' house and George called me up and said, well,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make this movie. I've raised the money and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you the first check, zero zero one.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: And it was the thing for twelve thousand and five hours. Now,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: remember this is twenty three years ago, so twelve grand
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: would probably be like thirty thirty five grand. I remember
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: my dad opened up a bank account for me. He
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: made a corporation for me. We put the money in.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I went and bought a used BMW that the door
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: didn't work on the right side.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. It's a beamer. Brother.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I was bawling out, and I bought those aftermarket rims
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: and I dropped the tints on that car. I was,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I was, I was the king and I and I
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: was able to go rent like a fifteen hundred hours
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: on the apartment and we went made this first movie
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: and then George said, after that and then I'll leave it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: After George said, do you want to, you know, be partners?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, let's let's try it out.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: And then we went on to make and I was
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: so afraid of being broke.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I was because you knew what that was like.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It was, it was horrible. And I remember and I said,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: I just I George, like, you're really aggressive with making
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: lots of movies. And I said, let's just keep going.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: And we just kept going, going, going, and in the
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: same and now we're one hundred and ten films in.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: But you know, it's the same mentality when you've been
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: broke and you know there's no lifeline, you know, it
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: really forces you to get focused. And I think that
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: was a blessing that my parents cut me off when
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: they did, because I think they were enabling me, you know, to.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Write you were comfortable.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I was comfortable.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: We talk about that all the time. You and Iran
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: is like, it's so good when you start feeling uncomfortable
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: because you get your ass moving again.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: It's the best, the best. And I think I think
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: that now the transitioning to directing my first film coming up.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I think the reason I did.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: You just drop a bomb on the podcast without any
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: type of warning. I did, Randall Emmett is going to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: make his directorial debut.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Yes it's happening, Yes, March ninth, we start shooting, And
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you the reason I did that is,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I have become comfortable as a producer. I
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: think I'm good at what I do, and I love
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: what I'm great at what you do, and I think
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: it's my heart, it's my passion, right, But I wanted
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: to try something that I knew I would always try
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: one day and I was like, what am I waiting for?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And I feel like, if I want to be a
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: good role model for my children, I want them to
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: see that you have to challenge yourself even when you're
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: good at something. Like I think I'm a good producer,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I want to try something that's going to make me uncomfortable.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And directing my first movie is very scary, and it's
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: something that I've hired one hundred and ten directors and
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: watched the greatest, but I've also seen, you know, some
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of mistakes and now it's like I'm on
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the shopping block and I have to either deliver or
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: or not.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I think you're going to be really great at this.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: You do, I really do, because even on the sets
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: that I've been on with you, even if I'm not
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: acting in them, you have a special relationship with the actors,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and I think that's important when you're a director. You
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: have to, you know, form those bonds with each person
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to get the character out of them.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think I think my favorite
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: thing is because I grew up as an actor. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: love I love you know, actors. I think that gift
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: that you that you all have.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: But is it true that you're a really bad actor?
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Your mom told me that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: First of all, my mom's wrong. I'm not a bad actor.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: My mom said you were really bad and she thinks
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: God that you produced instead because you're incredible at producers.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Are you being serious right now? You're like laughing? What
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: the fuck is wrong with you? Because would you find
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: that funny?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: Think about it.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I will have an actor on you. I will have
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: an act off fucking competition right now with you, Randall.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: We have an act off competition every day when I
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: ask you to read a fucking script with me. Listen
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: to me. I think amazing. No, no, no, no, it's amazing
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: that you were not a great actor because Alex, Okay,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: you're you're zoning in on the rod.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I want to talk to Alix right now. I'm talking
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to my producer. Hold on, Alex. As a guest, do
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: you think that this is appropriate to go on a
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: podcast and have the interviewer tell you suck it something?
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Alex? Do you think it's appropriate for the guests to
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: be banging the host?
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? We're engaged.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, we're engaged, so I can say these things
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I want to go back to.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, listen, all right, we've made everyone uncomfortable.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: I wish I did. I respond absolutely. First of all,
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: my mom, I love her. What fucking authority is she
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: on fucking acting? And let me tell you something.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: If she fucking hears this scot cast, Mom, you're fucking
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: fired on the next movie. I'm not playing. I love you, okay,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: but you're on time out on the next movie.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Leslie, I didn't mean to get you fired.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Did she really say I sucked?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: She didn't say you suck. She was like body decided
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: to be a produce. Sorry, it's so bad at actings
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: said I was bad.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, the word bad came out of her mouth.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You just said you were bad.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: No, but I could say it was bad. She can't
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: say it was bad. I went to the best performing
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: arts high school in the US. You will to school
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the arts.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Circle back to the positive.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I'm really right now. I'm shocked. I need a minute.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I need a minute.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Do you need a drink?
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: I want to go to a break right now. Very
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: upset you right now, and my mom, I'm really pissed.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: No, you shouldn't be upset because guess what you if
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: you decided like, but I really love acting, and then
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: it didn't go anywhere like you decided.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: No, but I believe if I wanted to be an actor,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: stay at it, I would have been Tom Cruise. So
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I chose because I love movies too much, my passion
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: for behind the scenes. But I want to give it
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: where you are. You are side stepping? What is going on?
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I think you're side stepping? First of all, my mom,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I may have side stepped a little.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Did my mom use the word back because I'm checking
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: after this call, I'm calling her now.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, we're not calling right now.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no, I just want to ask her.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast, We're not doing that. Put the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: phone down. Can I just can call her after?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, but I want to just rewind I can say. So.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I guess I shouldn't say there were.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Better actors than me growing up. I would say, like
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: in my high school class, like Katie Fennern who's won
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: the Tony Ward twice, Andrea Burns who's on Broadway. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: would say, let's say, out of the sixteen kids in
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the high school class, I was probably not number sixteen
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: in ability. I was probably number fourteen.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, you can't be great at at all, you know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you just can't. It's not fair. Yeah, so I guess
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: this would be the wrong time to ask you. What
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: was it like?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: You can keep going to lose again? Now? Oh so,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: first off, suck you suck for No, here's the worst
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: bad I just want to say that it's not even
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: that bad. It's not even that bad that you that
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: you call me a bad actor. That's fine, but you
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: said bag. My mother says, I'm background and I lost
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: the oscar. This is a fucking great podcast. Don't ever
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: invite me on again. Okay, you would don't ever invite
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: me on your fuck podcast again as a guest.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: I'm the fucking host.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: If it hurts, why because you fucking think this is funny.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Good good luck trying to go to dinner with me tonight.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Good luck, best of luck to him you want to
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: go to dinner a night. Okay, I'll just say this,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: and this is the truth. You know, I'm joking and
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I love my mom and have a conversation.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Of course I joking.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't the best actor clearly because out of
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: all the schools I auditioned for my top four, I
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: didn't get in. So right, Okay, but let's just go
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: backwards losing the Oscar. I went in knowing we weren't
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: going to win. That's the truth. Now deep inside, you say,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: like a little kid, one percent chance, you hope, they say,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: but I knew we weren't gonna win. I would say
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: losing the Golden Globe was catastrophic, But I really care
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: to lose the Oscar. Yeah, of course I want to win,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: but I know it's an honor to be able to say,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: for the rest of my life, I'm an Oscar nominated producer,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: that's a big deal for me. And can I tell you?
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna I don't want to want to drag
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: on this part. When we got home last night, it
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: was the highlight. It was better than winning the Oscar Let's.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: High five right now, seriously, I agree, baby.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: When we got home and you tell them what you
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: what you saw? We got home.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I saw that my step babies, Randall's babies drew all
• 39:16
