• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Every time you're like, let me get a jack and coke,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: that shit is just jack with a spill. Like they

  Speaker 4: like with the coke was spit like and in there
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: here take that they serve you well at the bitter end.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It's so funnier because I left. I left La, which
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: has no Christmas vibe at all, obviously, and I get
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: into JFK and they're like chest nuts roasting open.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting. Yeah, go ahead.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: The second you get through the airport, you feel like
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you're in die Hard in the opening, and there's like
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: trees and wreaths and people with presents. I felt like
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I was in a movie. I was like the polar
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: opposite of La, which is just you want Christmas, go
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to the grove.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Die Hard too, you mean no?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: In the opening of Oh sorry, you're right, I heard too.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Sorry sorry Donald. But wait In Diehard one and he's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: getting off the plane and the passenger sees the gun.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: There's is that the end. There's no terminal section.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: That's the beginning, but it's him landing in La to
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: go visit the family. Die Hard two takes place in
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the airport where the wife is coming in on the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: plane him.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And he says, just the facts, ma'am. And even as
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a kid, I thought that was the most horrible joke.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that. No, he's waiting for a facts
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: at the counter, back in the fax machine era, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: he goes, can I get the fat fact? And she
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: says something I forgot if it's flirty or not or something,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and he goes, just the facts, ma'am, And I was like, wow.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: I Digress. Still one of my favorite movies, though Diehard too.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Die Hard one and two are the best. Look people
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: will sleep on two, but two. That shit was fire
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: to me. When I first sar there were no opening
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: That was the first movie that I ever other than
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Star Wars, went and saw where it just said the
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: opening title and then it was right into the movie
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: without any freaking not without any credits, And I thought
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: that was the coolest thing.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like opening credits. It's a little pet
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: peeve of mine.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it takes people out of the movie.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Well it's an old school thing, but I all my
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: films have. They call it main on ends, which is
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the expression which means if you if you contractually, you're
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: allowed to if you do if you do no one's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: name at all, then you're allowed to do the credits
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: at the end. You can do minimal. It's like this
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: production company, this studio, and like the and then the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: title and that's it. The second you get into any
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: single person's name, then it triggers having to do the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: stars and the ZP and then you know, understandably everyone
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: who should get credit. But I love to I to me,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it's like I've always thought of it as like if
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you were seeing a play and the audience came out
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and took a bow before the show started. I'd rather
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just get into the play and then love it and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: then at the end be like, you guys are amazing.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: So I think of that movies like that, I want
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to watch don't don't show me names. I want to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: see your movie, and then at the end, I'm like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: holy shit, all those people did a great job, you
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I agree with that unless you were creative with
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: how like Baby Driver has an amazing, amazing opening credit
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: sequence with him dancing and the you know, walking across
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the street and the names coming up in the background.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Same thing with Deadpool, you know what I mean.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's not for everything. There's incredible title sequences,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of course, I you know, seven was like one of
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the most incredible title sequences ever. But I just mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I guess for my style films, I just like to
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: get into the story.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I especially don't like it if you don't like it,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Like it's one thing, if you're doing like a title sequence,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I especially don't like it if like the movies started,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, like TV shows, you're watching TV, especially like
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Scrubs is a great example, and like, you know, six
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: minutes into the fucking show, there's still names appearing because
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: there's so many people that obviously deservedly deserve their credit.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: And I think that's great, but you're like, oh my god,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we're still seeing names. The show's like half over.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Right right by the time you get gotten to directed by,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we're at the commercial break.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's that. What else can I tell you?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I had a fun night out the city. It's so
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: beautiful and christmasy here.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It's not Christmasy here.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: It is not even there's not a good place to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: spend Christmas at all.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It is like it's it my kid. You know what
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: my kid said to me. He said, Dad, I just
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: want to see snow for one time in my life.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Should get one of them.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I was like, wait a second, I haven't. He's like,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see fake snow. I want to
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: see freaking I want to see the ship come from
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: the sky. I want to feel how cold it is
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: when it snows.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Has your kid never seen snow?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: No, because we don't ski or anything like that, right,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: and so like Tom and all that shit.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can take them to the mountains and not
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: have them ski.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I can.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I can already hear Donald's brain being like, there's bears
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: in the mountains.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Right right away, I'm like, what if we get caught
• 5:50

• 5:58
  Speaker 1: like he's not, He's not. I know him so well

  Speaker 5: super Bowl, so let'll just bleed right into it. It's
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: gonna be great.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Listen. I was with Andrew Watt last night and I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: was singing Christmas Carls in the Streets and I said,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you know, because I reposted the baby It's Cold outside
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that Donald and I did years ago, and while I
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was singing Christmas Carl's chest Nuts roasting not an open fun,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, Donald and I should do a Christmas
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: album and he goes, he goes, I'll produce one song.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And I go, what do you mean? And he goes,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I'll right, you guys, one original Christmas song for the album.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: We got to write a wit so we could get
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: paid for them, so we can get them royalties, bro,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: we can get them, Mariah Carroll.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That's where your your head goes. First. I'm saying, like
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we can do old standards. I want to do it
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like with the orchestra, like like Seth McFarlane does with
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: the orchestra. I want to do it with an orchestra
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and get stars maybe. And then and then, but Andrews
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: said he would write us one original Christmas song.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Right, and we got to write it with him because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that's how Mariah Carrey gets all that money every year,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: her and freaking in.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: The monetary route. I'm just thinking, like, we're gonna have
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: a fire album.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: I know the album. I'm not worried about the album
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: being fire. I already know that's that's that's that's gonna
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: happen regardless. But what's important is that we can open
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: up the vault. Thank you every Christmas.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like Mariah, Like Mariah, she.
• 8:56

  Speaker 1: only fans Hey, Joell.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: My name is Luke Stige.
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: I am not only a gay man that would subscribe
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: to Donald's only fans account because I love you Donald,
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: You're everything.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: But I am also as a side gig.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: I managed some of my friend's only fans account to
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: have popular only fans, and so I have a little
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: bit of analytics here for you. I not only do
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: I run like women's only fans accounts. I run a
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: man's only fans account.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And I will.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: Say I would say there are women's subscribers, it's a
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: low percent, probably ten to fifteen percent. It's mostly gay
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: men subscribing to men's only fans accounts.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: And as far as content, you know, the man he
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: just like kind of makes. It's like stupid contents like
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: oh me jerking off with my bro or.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: That's er off.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: Of your friends, or can I see you you know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: not doing that. A lot of gay men like one
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: like solo content, which is kind of abnormal because with
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: the women's accounts that I run, they use the women's
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: be like sex tapes any here. I have a lot
• 17:58

  Speaker 4: Come on it, and we need to have a conversation
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: about what I need to do to get my only
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: fans popping so I can make this animated short.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: This animated short is going to be made well, he says.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Money.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Y'all listen, he said. The number one thing is like,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I'm beating off with my bro, and I just want
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you to know that I'm not going to be your brother.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Totally going to be my bro.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: No, I don't care about animation. I don't give a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: funk about your animation. I'm not going to beat off
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: on your only fans, Joel, are there any others?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know how much money we would make?
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Money, appreciate them for you next time.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: As much like Donald's only Fans, you have successfully edged
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: me and I am chillated to no more. Oh my god,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: yeah me too. You know what's funny is that I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: don't I'm sorry to spoil anyone who thinks they're having
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: a real relationship with an OnlyFans person, But the people
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: who who who manage these accounts are guys like that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: You know, there are people I don't have an only
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: fans relationship. I have a real relationship with my wife,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: so I can't.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure there's people with low amounts of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: followers who maybe are doing the communicating. I'm guessing I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: don't know. But anyone who's who's gotten a huge following
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and there's some guy in the d M is being like,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: she's texting me how my day is? And it's like
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: literally that guy in his car being like, hey babe,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: thinking of you, and the guy is thinking like, oh
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: my god, it's this OnlyFans mode, right.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, trip by Bree just hit me up.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Right, Oh, we got another.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: One to quick voicemail from a female fans. Let's see
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: what she has to say.
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: Yes, Hi, Joelle, I don't know if you'll remember me.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: My name is Timika. I'm the Spanish teacher from New
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: Jersey who sent a few voicemailoris about trying really hard
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: to like season nine of Scrubs and just not being
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: able to get there. I was listening to today's episode
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: and the only fans conversation that's continuing, and you didn't
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: ask for feedback from straight women, But I thought i'd
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: be helpful and put the question to Bed about whether
• 20:44
  Speaker 10: or not straight women are subscribing to OnlyFans, And the
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: answer is a fuckingly not. The reason is supine demand.
• 20:51
  Speaker 10: There is no dick shortage for us. They show up
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: in any text messages, they show up on dating apps,
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: They show up whether or not you want them, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: never actually ask for them. So no, you don't go
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: online and subscribe to dixieing services.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: It's basic economics.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: However, I do think there is an OnlyFans avenue for you, Donald.
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: Everyone enjoys looking at someone who is attractive, which you are.
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: Don't let these people dim or shine. But behavior tends
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: to be very stimulating for women because behavior lets us
• 21:22
  Speaker 10: infer things about what kind of lover you'll be. I'm
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: pretty sure someone smart said that the brain is the
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: greatest sex organ or something like that. So I think
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: your golden ticket may be to start and only fans
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: focused on behavior that women want to see and are lacking.
• 21:39
  Speaker 10: I hear married women are exhausted, and maybe they'd pay
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: to watch a man share the mental and emotional load
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: of running a home without expecting praise or sex in return,
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: like in the rom cons or in the romance novels.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That make us swoon.
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: So like do the dishes and vacuum and help with
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: kids homework, and like.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Just do it, sn't expect It's exactly.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna say that their husbands would probably fit the
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: bill because they'll be happy to have their wives hot
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: in the pants and you could make your money. Just
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: don't do it naked, because we are good on dick
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: and balls for thought. On happy holidays everyone.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Well, Mika coming through again.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say something. She has a great idea. I
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: think I could do an only fans where I'm washing dishes,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I'm cooking food, I'm helping my kids with their homework.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: I mean I do wash dishes, I do cook the food.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily help with the homework. Case he's way smarter.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, excuse me, she's way smarter than me in
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: that capacity. But I mean, I think I could do
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: that type of stuff.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Right, But isn't it interesting what Tamika finds sexy is
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: exactly what the sex therapist said you should be doing
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to turn your own wife on.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I expect sex after that, you know what
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying Tamika is agreeing with the the sex therapy.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: She's saying, like, women don't want to see dicks. We
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: get dicks everywhere, dick picks sent to us. We don't
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: want that. We would be hot and bothered by you
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: being doing the dishes, helping around the house. Chore what
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: do they call it? Chor play?
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Sure? Play? Look, I am down to do it for
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: animation money.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, well I think about that. Thank you, Timika.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: That was great, Thank you, Tamika. I am down to
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: make some animation money.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Washing, I don't know that I'm gonna subscribe to your
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: only fans watching you watch washed dishes.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Well, a mixture, it'd be a mixture.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Be a lot of times you don't know somedays, Yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of times you don't know that you're into
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a kink until you see.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: It, right, you know, I mean it could be you
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: and me washing dish. Hey, you're just washing dishes with
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: my bro and we'm saying.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: If I'm watching it for all I know, I'm not.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not. Let's say I'm watching you wash dishes because
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to support you. I've subscribed your only fans,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I've bought the Donald washing dishes video. And then all
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm like rock Heart and I'm like, whoa,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I never knew I had this kink.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Wow, that would be very interesting. Yeah about it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's gay if it's just dishes. Well, Joelle.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Subtracted to the same sex, and then it qualifies as gay.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know if the.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Actual all right, I shot a stand up comic saying
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: this stand up car She was so funny, it was brilliant.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: She was like, you know, true sex equality and hatred
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: and bigotry will be out the window when dudes can
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: be like to their bros. Yo, you remember that time
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: when I was gay for a little bit and they'd
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: be like, yeah, man, you was fucking gay as fuck.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: From like two thousand and three to two thousand and
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: four dog and then people she's like, and then the liberal,
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: the liberal would be in back and be like bisexual and.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: They'd be like no, no, no, no, no, no, you as.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Gay as fuck, dude, and they would be all right
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and they would be able to still be buddies and
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: ship like that. That's when Bigo tree, you know, that's
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: when Bigotree is out the window.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Is here pizza? Six seven?
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Eight? Stories about show? We made about a bunch of
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: talks and nurses.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And I said, here's the stories, net No, so YadA
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: rall here, yeada ra here swear for me?
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: No, oh my god, wow, Ted, that's welcome to the program.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: That is Joel Monique are our producer.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you and Donald have met before.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Do you guys know each other?
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Did we meet at Christmas party?
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, yeah, yes, it was quite a pleasure for me.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: It was a pleasure for me as well. You have
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: no idea.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: I've been a big fan of yours for a long time.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Even I've never seen scrubs. You know.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Ever, he's not.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: He's not lying. And the reason he's not lying. We'll
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: get right into it. Audience is that there were two
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: men who were up for the at the end for
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: doctor Cox, and one was John McGinley and one was
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Ted McGinley.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: And so drove me at that day. Oh sorry, I
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: was gonna say, I drove a lot that day. And
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I got to the guard and he said what's your name?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And I said McGinley, And he goes, sure, it's already
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: McGinley here, and I said, no, I'm I'm also, what
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: sh are you testing for? It? Scrubs? He's already here.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Nice try No, I'm the other one. I didn't know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: so I was surprised and it went downhill from there.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: What happened at your audition? Did you did you feel
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that it didn't go well? Or did it go well?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: And then Johnny was just more right in Bill's mind?
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: How did that?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's funny. I you know, you go
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: to many auditions leading up to that, right to that
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: moment when you go to the to the studio. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I've had a lot of really good auditions. I felt
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: great about the character, and I thought I had a
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: good shot. I knew there were two people going. I
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: didn't know who the other one was, and thank god
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I didn't know it was John, And I think it
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: went like all my auditions probably went very poorly.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Right, Are you a bad auditioner?
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he said that in the past. He's not a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: good auditioner. We'll talk about that because I'm curious when
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you're at Donald agrees with you. But why, why what
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: happens to you? We have a lot of actors that listen.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they'd love to you're now. You're a very
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: successful actor, so people probably want to know what happens.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: I'm nervous. I'm a nervous auditioner, I think, and it
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: makes it it makes it tricky. I'm also dyslexic, so
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: if I'm on paper, I can do anything on paper.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: So I always try to, you know, get everything into
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: my head, and then i'm it's just too many things
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: going on. So yeah, I seem to be better once
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I have the job. I feel a little more secure.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like the people don't hate me. I have
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: a lot of that actor stuff going, but I just
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: don't think. I've just never really. My wife's an amazing
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: audition she she's so good at it, and so I
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: watched people who are who are excellent. I just said,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: how come I don't have any of that in me?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I wondered the same thing. I feel like I've missed
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: out on so much.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: And I think I have a really great career, but
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: I feel like I've missed out on so much because
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: of my fear of auditioning. Like I've there's parts where
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: they were like, they love you and they want you
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: for the part, they just need you to audition, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I'm like, fuck it, I'm not going in.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: That's exactly going in the same with me, exactly the
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: same is that I just, you know, I know I'm
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: their pick, and then I go in and I just
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: I put too much on it, and then I just
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: always I think when I started in on Happy Days,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I always felt like the other side of the table
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: hated me, the producers and the directors, and so I
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: think I carried that, and I think maybe they did,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: but they carried through, just carried through.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: You know, Ted, you probably don't know this, but Donald
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: fucked up his Scrubs audition too, and Donald you can
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: tell the story. But Bill found him at the elevator
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: and was like, bro, what was that again? Brought it
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: back in right?
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well he said.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: We were all waiting in the lobby for the announcement,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: who was going to go home and everything like that,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: and he came out and he was like, all right,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: everybody can go Donald, you stay. Yeah, and everybody immediately thought,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: oh shit, he got the part.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: I walk into the waiting room, and before we walk
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: into the room with all of this with Jeff Zucker
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: and the rest of the studio in there and the network,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: and he stops me and goes, now, look, you really
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: did a you fucked up in that first audition.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And he said I kind of get a sense that
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you know you did too. I need you to go
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: in there and do it like you did it all
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: these other times.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh shit, did you know what
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: you had? Did you know what he meant?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I was so big I got you know what I mean?
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I was like, here we go, it's me again. Don't
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: o'fashuns back. And he was like, dude, what the fuck?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Calm down? Yeah, bring it down there, Yeah, that's me,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: that's me.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Bring it down, and let's do it again. And this time,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: try and be as real as possible. Don't go for
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: the jokes, just be real. And I went in there
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: and that's what happened. I just I said forget trying
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: to go for the jokes, and then I got the
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: call later on it. I got the part that night,
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: and I was like, oh god, man, I thought, I
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: thought this was going to be like there's so many
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: movies that I went out for and this is this
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: is why I started smoking weed too while acting no bullshit,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: because I thought, maybe this will calm me down, maybe
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: this will make me relax a little bit.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And it never it it.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I remember my agent saying, the part is yours. All
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: you got to do is go in there an audition.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: And I went in an audition and I could tell
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: halfway through I lost the job.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: You know, there's so many you know, for those of
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you who aren't actors, there's so many variables. You have
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the you have your nervous energy, you have what happened
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to you that morning, you have whatever's going on in
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: your mind from your life, your family, your partner. Then
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you go into the waiting room and there's all the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: energy of the waiting room. You might see a star,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a bigger you know. When I live in a room
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: was me and scrubs. I was a waiter and I
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: saw stars in the waiting room. I was like, what
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the fuck am I doing here? I'm not going to
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: get this. That guy's famous. And then sometimes you can
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: hear the people going in the room and you're like,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm not doing it like that? Is
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that what they want?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: And then there's also these mind games in the waiting
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: room where actors will try and distract you. They'll try
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and like engage you in conversations, so you're not even
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: like like focusing and thinking about the sides. You're like
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: shooting the shit with some guy who sometimes is trying
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to fucking sabotage you. There's all this dynamics, and then
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: you can go into the room and they've had a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: bad day and they're tired and they're not laughing at you,
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and then you just get in your head and like, oh,
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I suck. You know, there's so many things tell is
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: on the way there.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: You have a contract to be signed for the next
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: seven years of your life. So if you happen to
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: be a waiter, you know when they make these deals,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: they're like seven years long, and all of a sudden,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: overnight your life changes. So that adds to this, especially
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: if you have kids and a family. That is it's
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: so real. It's it's so unreally real that it adds
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: so much on there. But I think I just really
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: got the bad habit of thinking that everybody on the
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: other side already doesn't like me, and that you know,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: It's very funny. When I first started the business, before
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I had any idea what I was doing, I would
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: go up for things, and if they didn't hire me,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: I always felt bad for them. I was like, oh, wow,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: you blew it too bad. I mean, you blew a
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: good thing. And then as time goes by, you sort
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: of walk in the room like, I know, I know,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I know I'm not right for this, but I'm gonna
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: throw it up there anyway. And and you've been beaten
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: down by so many times by that point and just
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: go I get it. I wouldn't pick me either. There's
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: that element that is heartbreaking, but it's part of the
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: history of your I mean, after a while, I admire
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: people who just say I should.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Have this, Yeah, you know, I gotta be. There's there's
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: two things that this this industry does to you that's
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: so fucked up, but it's what it is, and I
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: get it. If you come off of something hot, like,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: you know, I did a play that Steve Martin wrote
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: with a really dope cast, and I felt so good
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: about where I was as an actor. Went on a
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: bunch of auditions and didn't get shipped, and I couldn't
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: under I was that shit was like, wait a second, yeah,
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: you know what the fuck?
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I just did fucking eight shows a week at fucking
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: the Old Globe.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: How am I not?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: How how do they not see what the audio? I
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: was killing it on that shit.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I was also on a television show where everybody was like, yo,
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Donald Daison has graduated from comedy to drama. And I
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: thought after that X Men would be calling, fucking Marvel
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: would be all these my Star Wars is going to
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: be calling, and nobody fucking called.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And it was like what the fuck?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Everybody just said how good I was and nobody's calling.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: It's such a mind fuck. This industry is so humbling
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and and and look I said it before, I think
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: I did pretty well for myself. Ted, I know you
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: did great for yourself, but there's just that feeling of
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm not good enough. You hear knows so
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: much in this industry that that one, yes, it doesn't
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: really change the It doesn't change the the uh, the
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: thought process in your head.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take away the insecurity. It freaking you. Hear
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: knows so much that that one.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, it's gratifying and it's great and you feel
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: good for that split second, but you know that could
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: be taken away too.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: I got fired, dude, I got fired after a table
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: read once.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't even get to really, I didn't even really
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: get to do this shit the way I wanted to
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: do it, you know what I mean.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Like, it's just I'm surprised that I'll get fired after
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: every table reading. I am right, every single table reading.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: But you know, so you bring up a great point,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: like I think the business. You're the one who doesn't
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: like the business is the framing. The thing you have
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: to hang on to. You can't the business is the business.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And Tom Bosley told me when I was on happy Days,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: he said, look, if you can't handle this, you've got
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: to get out now. And I had two very disappointing
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I was up for two features leads and he said,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: and I had with terry eyed and said, dude, if
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: you can't handle this. You've got to get out right now.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: This is not for you. And I remember that was
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: I thought at the time was such an asshole comment.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: It happened to be one of the most accurate statements
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: ever ever given to me. That it just keeps repeating
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: itself over. No, but I'm giving you cannot give those
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: people that permission to I still get to come home.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: The know that hurts me the most is when I
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: give it myself, when I look in the mirror and
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I go, no, that's the one that kills That's the
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: one that hurts you know, believe.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Well, Ted, I want to start with I want to
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: go back to happy Days because that's where it all
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: began for you. You came onto the show. Do I
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: understand it?
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: When Ron Howard was leaving.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So during the Actors Strike at the time, his
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: contract ran up and Ron wanted to direct and ABC
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: wouldn't let him direct. So head of NBC at the time,
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I think it was Grant Tinker, said no, I'll let
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: you direct, and he went over there and did a
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: TV movie with Anton Williams and Betty Davis I think,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: and that was it. Ron Squer took off as a director,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: as it should have, and he came back. But we
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: had a softball team that toured around the country and
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: throughout Germany, and they eventually went around the world, but
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: I was working, but they they played softball at all
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: these troops from the troops throughout Europe and the United States.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And so that's when I got to meet Ron. And
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: that was the only time I really got to hang
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: out with Ron. But yeah, that's why I got into
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: the show. And they were looking for a straight man
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: opposite Henry Winkler, opposite the Fonts, and Gary Marshall saw
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: something in me that he thought he could work with.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Well that's quite an honor because Gary Marshall was about
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: as big as it gets in TV at the time.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: He was nice, he was more than that man, No
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I know, of course, he went on to be an
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: incredible filmmaker. I'm saying at the time, and I highly
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I've said this before, but get Gary Marshall's autobiography on tape.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: It is incredible to hear him his voice tell his
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: story and there's so many funny anecdotes. I'm sure you've
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: heard it, Ted, but I really loved it and he
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: was you know I had some not only we did
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: chicken little together there he was my father in the
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: animated we would chick a little, but also he went.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: He was a very big benefactor in Northwestern where I
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: went to school. Yes, and he would and he would come,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: he would come speak, and so I really really loved
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: that man a lot. And I wonder if you could
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: talk about what it was like to work with him,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: because he's he was such a legend in the industry.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: It was a very interesting time because Pierry was transitioning
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: from he was just trying to make that change from
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: TV to film, and so he wasn't as day to
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: day involved in the show as he was previous to
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: my time there, apparently. But we had Laverna Shirley right
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: next to us, so we shared the stage with them,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: and they had massive chaos and people would be throwing
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: scripts and counting lines and yeah, it was just a
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: thing familiar. It was craziness. It was a great introduction
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: for me. And my dressing room was outside the stage.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Everybody else was inside the stage, so I was out
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: kind of next I was. I was outside, so I
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: would see the chaos constantly and hear them. Uh. It
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: was it was crazy, and Gary used to Gary would
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: always pull me aside and say it's gonna be good.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be good. And that meant a lot from
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Gary because he wasn't effusive. Uh, but that meant a
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: lot because I wasn't really getting that anywhere else. And
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: I felt bad for Henry Winkler because he went from
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: working with one of the best stars in the world,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest U sidekicks ever, Ron Howard, to
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: a guy who had never done anything and had no
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: idea of where the joke was and the timing was
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: any of them. And so I learned a lot from Henry.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: It's very generous, and you know, through the week he
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: kind of put me through it a little bit, and
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: then on Fridays he would because it was secrets whim
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: we had, we had to put it out there. He
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: was just I learned so much being around that cast
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: and around Henry. But those were tough days because I
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: knew I wasn't up the bar, but I didn't know,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: and I just I really didn't know what this world
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: was and I wanted to stick around long enough to
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: see what it was. Anyway, Gary's a guy who finds
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: types of people and then figures out how to how
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: to make it work and find their little magic. And
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: for me it was a godsend. Gary Marshall was, I
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: would say, the most important person in my career.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: Wow, well he really he really invested in you because
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you were you hadn't really worked, right. I know you're
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: working as a model, but had you done any acting before?
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: No? I had a no And I had a little
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: TV movie where I was hired as a model to
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: run in the first scene of the beach, you know,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm running and jack Albertson comes up next to
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: me and I blow him away. And then I'm in
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: the last scene of the movie and jack Albertson's there
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: and I'm running with him, and all a sudden he
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: starts keeping up with me after he's been through his journey. Now,
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: that was my first thing, but I had, you know,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: I was like, come on, old man or something. That
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: was my big lung. But that's so yeah. Happy Days
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: was my first gig, and you know, Gary, Gary took
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: a risk on me, and then he put me in
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: a pilot called Herndon and Me, which was directed by
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Gary Marshall, written by Lowell Gans and Babbelo two monsters
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: at the time, and it was for ABC, and it
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: started myself and Michael Richards. Wow, And Michael Richards was
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: doing Kramer in that project at the time, and he
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: we had a scene where he flipped over a chair
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: and broke three ribs on a couch and that was
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: the but the kind of messed up the timing of
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: our of our pilots who had to take two and
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: a half week saw Oh my god. Anyway, So Gary,
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Gary put a lot of faith of me.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's that says a lot.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I love the story about Henry also, though you know
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: what I mean, Like Henry was the same.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Way with me.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I had I had a really bad day on Clueless
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: and he was directing the episode. I was like an
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: hour and a half late. I still had booze on
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: my breath from the club that night. And he intercepted
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: me after I've rushed through hair and makeup and everything
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: and stopped me and was like, it's okay, you're not
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: We're not going to fucking have an issue about this.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: You're gonna be fine. I need you to come in
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: here and do what you do, And in doing so,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: he put me at a. I'm not saying what I
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: did was correct, but I had a really bad day,
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And from that moment on,
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: he was so giving with not only his time but
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: also with his knowledge of the comedic craft and what
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: I needed to do to make it better.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: And I doubt I would never I would never show
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: to work like that ever again. I was like, I'll
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: never be this guy ever again. Flash forward. I did
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: it a couple of times again, But that's not the point.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: The point is. The point is Henry. Henry Winkler was
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: so generous with his knowledge and his time.
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: We had him on the podcast and I was great,
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: and I was able to thank him for it and
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: all of the things that we all the things that
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: you and I are talking about, the fear of auditioning.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Whenever I would bring that up, he would be like,
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: all right now, Donald. You know, it was like he
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: was like my my, my TV dad or my TV uncle.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Who was there to reassure me? Dude, all of that
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: shit's in your head. You got to get rid of that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: You got to drop that stuff.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: You are who you are, and that's and that's and
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: that's good enough pretty much.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean, I always knew going home
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: I was who I was. Yeah, you know that's why
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: my home has always been a sacred place for me,
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: because I know I'm okay here. I know I've done
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: everything that I've done it to my highest level here,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: and so I'm very proud of being a good dad.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: I think that's why I was put on this world
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: and and for trying to be a good husband. But
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: I so so that really matters to me, like because
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: that's my safe place. That is the place where when
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: I get hurt, I come in and I heal. And
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: so this place I don't ever want it to be
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: injured or rocky, but out in the world I expect it.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: I figure, you got to be tough and if you
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: want to play, if you want to play in that
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: in this arena, you're going to take some serious wounds.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: And I guess that's how it goes.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Let's take a break, we'll be right back after these
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: fine words. With that, Let's just continue on and like
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: in some of the major things you're on. Then you
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: want to how many years did you do love boat?
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: I think I did three and a half seasons. Uh,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: I so same thing. So when I after I auditioned
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: for Happy Days. I did it in a room with
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: some executives and I didn't know they were They were
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: in Gary's office. And for two weeks I was going
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: back and forth between this other show and where they
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: called me in one day work with the people, and
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: call in the next day and I'd work with the
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: direct casting directors. And finally Gary Marshall asked first, and
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I got to be unhappy guess. So then I did
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: a couple of guest spots on the Love Boat. And
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: while I was there, they said, Hey, when Happy Days ended,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: would you like to come in as a as a regularism? Sure, yeah,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: why not? I loved that cast. It was so nice
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: and they treated you like a king. You got first
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: class trips for you and a guest everywhere. We traveled
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: all over the world. It was spectacular. I mean, that
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: was a great great I didn't know.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: So were you shooting on a real boat, Well, you're.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Shooting on a stage.
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: And then.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: So it would be theyasically two months out of the
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: year you would be on a ship. So for at
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: least six weeks it would be two three two hour shows.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: It'd be about two weeks each, so it'd be about
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: six to seven weeks. You'd be out on a ship.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: And you'd stay on the boat.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: Yes, and they I mean, you were treated like a king.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: And then they would invite people to be on the ship.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: So regular folks were just on the ship while we
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: were shooting and they got to hang out with you.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: You know. I would be in the casino every night
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: and they would be in there, or we'd be dancing
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: or whatever it was, and just regular folks were there.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: It was really fun. How they could go into certain
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: rooms at certain times, would be cable all over the boat.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: I kind of felt sorry for me, but it was
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: they knew what they were getting into and they loved it.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: They were literally on the love boat.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: They were on the love Yeah.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that was that was a It put me
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: in a weird, you know, weird category all of a sudden,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and it was hard to kind of get out of
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: that one. And then we smashed it open with married
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: with children.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's so let's talk about Let's wait, let's go
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: back first, because Revenge of the Nerds needs to be
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: talked about.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: Me.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I was focusing on TV first, Donald, and we're gonna.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Go back my bad, my bad, because okay, thank you
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: for bringing up though.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Well, Donald and I have a very special place in
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: our heart throven that.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Is, that's one of my favorite movies of all time,
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: even though that's not pc to say.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Now nowadays it's a very problematic film. But we're not
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: going to talk about that. We're only talking about the
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: good parts of the movie. That's right, that all around,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: but Sweet Married with Children. That was really a new
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: take on the sitcom. Right It was Fox as Fox's sitcom,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and they were going to be outrageous, right yeah.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: They wanted to go They wanted to do the exact
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: opposite of Family Ties the Cosby Show. They wanted to
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: do something that would rock the boat. And they did.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: They did, They started did That was an enormous hit,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: right yeah, yeah, and you came and you came.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: On later too, though you you weren't in the beginning.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: There was another person and then they killed him off
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: and what you on?
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, yeah, he wanted to go do Broadway. He
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: was a Broadway actor and wanted to go back to
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: his roots. And I think also it happens where initially
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: they pitched the show as something and then two of
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: the characters also out Bunny just tastes off and the
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: Bundy family, and I think he felt like, hey, I'm
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: right here, but so he wanted to go do other things.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: And the greatest thing that ever happened to me was
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: that he decided to leave, and he did very well.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: He's done, He's he's done well. But dam Garrison, and I,
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm so thankful to him to have a decision.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: But I went into Married and my parents used to
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: come with me to Happy Days and we'd have these
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: big parties after every show with the Castle, you know, Taxi,
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Laverne and Shirley loosing buddies. We would all go to
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: this place called Nikodill's outside of Paramount and everybody was
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: in there on a Friday night and it was so
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: much fun in those days. And my parents were invited.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: Everybody was invited if you do them. So we went
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: in there. And then when I got onto the Married
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: with Children and my parents came to the first show,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: they were like, what the hell is this? Yeah, and
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: it was so much fun. Again. That cast from day
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: one just said come in, bring whatever you've got and
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: we love it. And I I was so expecting the opposite,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: and they couldn't have been better. I loved that job.
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: We had so much fun.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: I bet you were laughing your asses off. No one
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: really does that, now, do they. There's no like R
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: rated sitcom which would be funny. I don't know why.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: I know it's all animated. Yeah, it's all animated.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Family Guy is the version of Married with Children.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: Right, I'm surprised no one does like whatever the twenty
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: twenty four Riskue version of a sitcom would be.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you I found we did. There are
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of people who think they are by the way,
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: but you know they're not.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: No, I see, I see what you're saying about Family
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Guys like kind of the version of it.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well they Simpsons is really Married with Children, just
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: in a different run.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: But they also ripped they also, sorry to cut you off,
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: they ripped you off.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: Also with that other show, there was a show with
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: uh Kevin Connolly was the kid on it and Nicky
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: Cox was the daughter.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: And it was pretty much the same shit. It was
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: the same show, but it wasn't.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: Uh. I'm trying to remember Ronny Levitt if he had
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: something to do with it. I can't I do remember that.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: I can't remember it.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Do you remember this?
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: It was the exact same shows, like they tried to
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: make the exact same show. Uh yeah they did anyway, Yeah,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: well something something was married with children.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you a funny story though. Sorry with married,
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: I never got a call time. Ever you would. You
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: would look at the script and you'd say, oh, on
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: the rewrite. And by the way, in those days, you
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: had to wait for the script guy to drop off
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: your script. So you go on a Monday, if you
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: write it Tuesday, or you wrote it each day, you
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: get a new script. But I would get mine like
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: two morning. I'd wake up at like eleven every day.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: You know, I checked in the front door because I
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: can't read it like everybody else does. So I would
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: go through it. I think, oh my god, I'll be
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: up all night looking. So then we would we would
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: go there. But you would say, okay, I'm in the
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: third scene, so that means we start at ten. That
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: means I come in at eleven. Ten. You just make
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: it up. Nobody said you come in at this time ever,
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: not one time. So I'm around cult that doesn't exist
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: in our business. It was just we ran it ourselves
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: in that regard, and then if you were late, they
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: would sit around the couch. They would go get food,
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: and everyone would sit around the couch like a family
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: and just talk poorly about you until you showed up,
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: and then they would go. I mean, it was so
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: much fun. It was such a great game. All right.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Now we have to talk about Revenge of the Nerds,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: because this movie was like Donald and I were the
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: target demo for this movie.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, and.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I remember identifying with the nerds.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I identified with the jocks.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: You did, you did?
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: I did. I played sports and everything like that.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: And you know, in my neighborhood, if you weren't if
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: you weren't into sports, you weren't into anything, you know
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: what I mean. So like the artist in my neighborhood,
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: like I learned how to play basketball, I learned how
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: to play football.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: I learned how to play baseball. Also I could be cool,
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean?
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: And so that was me.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I identified with the I identified with the jocks. I
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: get it. You identified with the nerds.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: I identified you with Lamar.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: No, well, I did love Lamar too. That was the
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: wrapping part of the whole movie.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. The end of the end of that
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: movie with the with the performance is just that's not
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: the end.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: That's that's not the end.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: No, well, I'm saying when it builds, when it builds
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: to the performance. But anyways, so, ted I I read
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: that when you got to set there was actually like
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: friction between the jocks and the nerds, like off like
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: on set, like for real, you got older?
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I didn't. I didn't know that, right. So
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: we show up and I think perhaps I wasn't astute
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: enough in technique to know that some guys maybe work
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: where if they're going to be opposite you and adversarially,
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: they stay that way in character kind of right throughout
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: the process of the show, where sometimes people won't talk
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: to you for an entire movie off camera. But but
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: I thought it was presumptuous to say the least that
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: that's how if that's what they were doing. Uh. But
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: so we went down there and in the beginning, they
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: wouldn't give me the time of day, and they would
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: get together.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Nerd nerds, the nerds as a group. The nerds didn't
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: targe you, and they would exclude I was, They would
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: have nerd they would have nerd parties, yeah, well they.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Didn't this early age. They were massive parties. So yeah,
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: the the jocks weren't really invited now Ogre, I don't know.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: I haven't talked to Don about that. But it wasn't
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: until we started doing all night episodes where we had
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: to work all night long for about a little over
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: two weeks, where we were stuck with each other, we
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: had to hang out all night, the nationally started to
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: break break the ice and start to find that we
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: had a lot in common. That turned that turned to
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: be mashal And. I mean the parties would start. The
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: parties then would start at six in the morning, so
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: you would work all night and they would come back
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: and then start the party.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: And then that woman who played six a Night, that
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: woman that played Betty. I was right at the age
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: where things in my body were turning on, like things
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: were shifting. Yes, And I was like Betty, like I
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: didn't know what she just she shifted my whole mind.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, I couldn't, I couldn't. I was so
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: in love with her.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she today, she's still amazing, Julian Montgomery, but she
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: she is so recently, I just went down to Mexico
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: and I got hired to go down. There's a group
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: of people apparently who loved the nineteen eighties shows, and
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: so they all music that shows. So I went down
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: to a resort in Mexico and it's inclusive all and
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: you spend a couple of days with all these people
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: and take photographs with him, and it was so much fun.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: They all showed up and dressed half of them stand
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Gable and Benny Child's anyway, so the Nerds apparently have
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: been doing this as a group where they tour around,
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: they go around and sign autographs.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: They've been doing They're still excluding you this many years later.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: They are. By the way, the love Blode excludes me,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Happyess excludes me. Really, Nerds excludes me, and I expect
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: shrinking will too soon.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, we got talking about shrinking, dude. I
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: want to get to that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know because I don't think social media, so
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: I don't stay in contact with people.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to say. If any of the
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Nerds from Revenge of the Nerds are listening to this podcast,
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I want you to. It's been too many years and
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: you need to starting. Poor Ogre probably spends his weekends
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: in the fetal position because he's not being.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: Oker. Became a nerd.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: What are you talking about?
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: It became a nerd? What about Booger? Does Booger go?
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Does Lamar?
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Does a Mark throw a javelin?
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Larry?
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: When all the party was going he was a badass
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: as Yeah.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: He was, sincerely he didn't have a limprest and throwing style.
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: That was.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: That was the funniest thing when they said they designed
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: the javelin for Lamar's limpers.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you the secret. When we started the Nerds,
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: I actually played two parts. I played a twin brother
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: who was who was a nerd. So I had Stan
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: Gable had a twin brother who was a nerd. And
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: they cut it out after day three. They said, the
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: movie's not going to go. It's not what the movie is.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna we're gonna get rid of because that
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: would be its own movie, really movie. Yeah, but no
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: one ever talks about that. I think all those guys
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: forgot about it anyway. So we we're down in Mexico.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I ran into all those guys. It was so much
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: fun and we were They never heard my side of
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: anything because they hang out together all timate they never
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: heard me talk about how unfriendly they were, and and uh,
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: you know there was real adversaries that they're like, what
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: what are you talking about? It? It was, it was interesting.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: It was a lot of fun to see them.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't expect to get I don't like
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. The nerds don't treat Ted McGinley right.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: If you are one of the nerds, we'd like you
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: to call in and explain yourselves, especially if you're Lamar.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: We want to talk about your limpristed throwing style.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: All right, No one more, one more funny story on it.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: So I'm I get contacted through my agent. There's a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: lady in uh, Connecticut whose husband has try lambs. He
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: and his entire three brothers, all his family has try
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: lambs tattooed on their forum. And for his fortieth birthday,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: he wants me to fly back and have dinner with them.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: And they're gonna fly me first class, they're gonna pay me,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna go back there and sit with these
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: guys and I wouldn't surprise him at dinner.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: It was that you forget how much that movie meant
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: to some people in the day.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Donald and I were the right age
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: where we would just like thought it was. I was
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: probably too young to be seeing it, but I did
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: see it, and I just thought it was the funniest
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: fucking thing I'd ever seen. And I guess because probably
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: because I did feel nerdy and and was was intimidated
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: by jocks and I don't know, I was like the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: perfect target demo for it. And then and then there
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: was Betty.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: I love the jokes.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: I thought the jokes were hilarious, and I thought, you know,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: and I know a lot of them can't be. I know,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of the stuff that's in that movie can't
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: actually be. You go to jail for a lot of that.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Well, we acknowledged it's problematic in some ways, but we
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: can still appreciate segments of.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: It that that changed my I remember my friends telling
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 4: me I needed to see it, and then finally seeing
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 4: it and thinking, this is the most cutting edge movie
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 4: I've ever seen in my life.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: I freaking like.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: Cutting dude, I laughed so well, come on, man, his
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: limp wristed throwing style to this day, That and the
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: and the tricycle race.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: And the song and the song and the song. I mean,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: the song was like the funniest fucking thing.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I think. I think, I think that song is written
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: by Tom Newman, who's been nominated really numerous Academy Awards
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: for scoring major films.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Thomas Newman's legend.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but not only Mary one of those people connected
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: to that film. By the way, Ted Fields, our cinematographer,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: They all went on to big things after.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's take a break.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. No, all right,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: let's segue to Shrinking. I have to say I'm lucky
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: enough to have a front row seat to watching what's
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: happening to you at Shrinking and what's happening are tricking.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: It reminds me of what happened to Neil Flynn on Scrubs,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: but even in a bigger way, because as hilarious. You know,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: Neil Flynn was in the pilot and he was supposed
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: to have Scrubs. He's supposed to have a small part
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: of the janitor, and he was so incredible that Bill
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: just kept giving him more and more and more to do.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: But he was always because he was always you know,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: because he was always so crazy. He was the janitor
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: and the character was so wacky it was sort of
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: capped at how much he could do. What's happening with
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: you on Shrinking is so thrilling as a fan of
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: yours to watch because you started with just having quips,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: as you Bill would call it. Bill used to call
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: these guys his assassins on scrubs who could just walk
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: by sayah, one liner and and and make everybody die laughing.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Rob Rob Mashio was the king of that. And then
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: I've watched over the seasons. Now your part. If you
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: look at a graph, it's just skyrocketing because you are
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: killing it on the show, and everybody loves you. Anytime
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: anyone knows I have anything to do with the show,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: they go, oh my god, I love Derek. He's so funny.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 4: I need to tell you before before you say it,
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 4: before you say it, I'm trying to find out if
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: my wife is home because she wanted me to tell
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: you you made her cry. You made her cry in
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: U because uh, with your scene with Josh Hopkins, you
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 4: made she is uh. She is a forever fan. She
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: was a fan before, but she is a forever fan now.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: And it's it's it's it's it's a it's an amazing story.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 4: So well, I'll let you take it.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: But my wife loves you all right now now you speak.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: That is very sweet both of you. Thank you very much.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: I would be remiss if I don't start by saying, Zach,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: you're an amazing director. Like the energy that he brings
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: to a set and Donald you must know is yes,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: it's there's no one like it. I mean, it's so
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: much fun. And the one thing that I appreciate, because
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: I've been directed by many many actors, is that when
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: I come, I mean, when Zach comes to the set,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: he's a director. He's looking for attention as a director.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: He's not trying to be anything else other than be
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: a director and be a really good one. And he's
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: always prepared. I just and you can trust his judgment,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: will try it, you know. I love that. I love
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: being able to trust the director because you know, they
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: know funny but two, they're only in it to make
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: the whole better. And it's so it's really a compliment
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: I tell him that all the time. I tell him
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: that all the time.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, dude, you're you're a better director than
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: you are an actor, and but you're a really good actor.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: I always preface it. I always like, you're a really
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: good actor too.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: Man. That's like when people say to me, oh god,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: you're well, you've got great hair. I had nothing to
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: do with the hair. I'm trying to do a scene here.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: But but but but it speaks to just the experience
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: because obviously Bill is a huge fan of yours, and
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: and he knows I think he We've spoken about how
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: he's like Ted is not a great auditioner, but he's
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: a brilliant performer. And so with this thing, I didn't
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: ask him an audition. I know how funny he is.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: I just put him in the show because I love him.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: And and I know Christa had A had A had
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: a voice in it too. She wanted a husband she
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: was definitely attracted to. And you qualify and and and
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: and then but then it was it was like you
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: just you can see that he's increasing and increasing his
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: h his the use of the character.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 9: Well, I found.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: It was hard because when I first got there, literally
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: first days, just walked through the scene and with your
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: dog and and you know, say just walking the dog.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't want uh, and I was gonna do it
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: with with an attitude, and Bill said, no, no, no,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: it's nice. He's nice. He's and he'll sometimes say things
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: that that you shouldn't say, but he says it nicely,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: so you get away with it. And so then I
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: started to grab on to that and and but I
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: had had no background, and I had nothing on the guy,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: and I could figure out what do I do.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, hello, this is Casey com.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: Right, good to see you. She's stopping by it to
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: tell you we have we have here a genuine fan
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: of yours. She wants to say her piece. Go ahead, Casey, No.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: I.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 11: Know I always have a couple of pieces to say,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 11: but I'll just leave it at this one.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: But I watched the episode.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 11: I don't know which episode was, but it was when
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 11: you know, you had just found out that she had
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 11: kissed the other guy, and you go to Jessica and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 11: you're having like your heart to heart or therapy session
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 11: or whatever, and.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just have to tell you made me cry.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: You're very sweet. I like to say that is just
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: honestly brilliant writing. And it's just like you stand hold
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: on on the rope and let him pull you. And
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: Christy doesn't get enough credit because she wats this fine
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: type rope of so many different tough things to play.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: Just sitting next to her, I get more credit than
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: I should. But you're very sweet to say that. I'm
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: I never get I was just so honored that they
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: trusted me enough to take a chance with that.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I know, it was great because I feel like
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 11: I'm at the age of my life where I kind
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 11: of identify with Christa's character in that sense.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Not to not to make some.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: But you know, you know, the kids are getting older,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 11: you don't you're at home all the time, you do
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 11: so much, but you don't really feel like you're important
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 11: enough and all those things.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: So I'm always, you know.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 11: Champ trying to champion that character. But to see you
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 11: and your take on it in your side and it
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 11: was just so I just I got so emotional. I
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 11: texted Bill at eleven o'clock at night. I texted Zach so,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 11: I thought, you did such a great job showing the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 11: flip side of it, Like, yeah, it sucks for women,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 11: but it also sucks for men too, who are trying
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 11: to be great husbands.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know how at home it's he feels safe
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: at home. That's his safe space at home, because he
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: loves being a great dad and he loves being here.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: He tries to be a great husband.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: It was just all right, Casey, you don't have a
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: lot of time, so put your husband back on. No,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: don't let her, please, no, Casey, get the hell out
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: I love you too. I like how you spell your name.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: So, uh, where where do you think is gonna happen
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: with Derek? I mean I was a little surprised, to
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: be honest that and I know this is the writing,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: it's not it's not up to you. But I was
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: surprised that Bill resolved it so so quickly. I thought
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: that there might be you know, I don't know what
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: is your reaction to that.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: I was it didn't It made me nervous that they
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: resolved it so quickly. However, you know, it's not there
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: show and there's a lot to go on. And I
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: thought what was really cool was how real an adult
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: they handle instead of me walking in there with a pistol,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: you know, they made it a real situation. And I
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: liked how. I liked how when you have a family
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 3: and you have all these things, you have to keep going,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: and I just thought it was real. I thought they didn't.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: I'm always amazed at how wonderful they see the world
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 3: and how well they're able to actually set an outline
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 3: for you and then sends you on your way.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: I just think it's there's a lot of deep there's
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of giggling from people that know them well
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: that you're kind of playing a version of Bill. And
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: he certainly writes stuff for you that he wishes he
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: could say to his wife, but he's afraid to. There's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: a moment, there's a great moment in season one where
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: you where you're alike, where she's telling you that you're
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: not Umilia will hang around the house and You're like, no,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: I'm retiring. I'm the one who's been out there doing stuff.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: You can do whatever the hell you want, but I'm
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: going to do whatever the hell I want in this house.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, of course, And all I can think of
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: as I was watching it was like, this is what
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Bill would love to say to Christian, but he's afraid you. Yeah, right,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: didn't he say something like that to you?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: What did he say to you?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: And on the Police Center panel, you on the panel.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: He said, that's exactly what I want to say, what
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: I would like to say, but I know I get killed,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: so he lets me say. But he did tell me afterwards,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: he said, that is it. And that's the first time
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: he said to me, that's me. That's what I want
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: to say. If I could get away with it, that's
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: what I would say. And I thought, Okay, there's more.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: There's there's Bill inside of Derek, and uh, their relationship
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: is is very complicated Bill and Christa because he's the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 3: he's the supreme being, he's the boss, but yet she's
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 3: really the boss. And uh, you know, when he walks
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: on a set and we're doing something, she says, how
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: about this? He says, no, that's not funny. Uh. And
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: if I said that, I would be beaten. Uh my
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: wife would be you know. But they've worked out how
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: to say it to each other.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: They have an incredible they have an incredible dynamic where
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: she's she's definitely a tough boss at home and but
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: he gets to be the tough boss to work.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, in the second he walks through the door,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: it's all gone, right.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it's funny because I hang out.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: I wonder if she ever if she's ever like you.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: So you remember when you were getting all brolicky and
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: all loud with me on set. Today, we're gonna we're
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about that now.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: She she is such a pro. She all she really understands.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: It's part of their method. It's part of the method.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: And then if he's talking to everybody in those situations,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: and it's so impressive. I just love how she is
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: so selfless sometimes to be able to take over. And
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: by the way, rarely does she do something where he's
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: saying no, I'll do it the other way. That's funny,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: but she'll say, well, I don't know, what do you think?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: And they have that ability to like he'll listen and
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: he'll say, no, do it that one. Then they'll say, no,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: you know what, You're right, go back do.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: It the other way.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: It's just rare. They work in rare air.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's such as such an incredible cast, and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: you know, with all those big personalities and all those
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: big names. I just love as as a fan of
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: yours as a human and as a as an actor.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: I just love watching you rise through it all because
• 1:13:48

  Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, And you get that and you
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: get that act and you get this and you get
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: this acknowledgement from other actors too. Like Ted says this stuff,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: Harrison Ford has said this stuff. And he's worked with
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: a lot of actors too, I mean our directors also.

  Speaker 1: Harrison still hasn't worked with very good directors. I'm the
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: first great director oka.

• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: that I've developed over all the years I have been

• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm in my I'm in my I'm in
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: the right spot when I'm doing it.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 4: That's why I say you should direct Marvel, you should that,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: you should direct Star Wars.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: You should direct.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: Things like that, because it would bring a different take,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: a fresh take, but it would still but you're so
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: good because you could still stay in the realm of
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: what it is.
• 1:18:38
