  Speaker 1: a producer called him. He wasn't sure if it would

• 1:16
  Speaker 1: like john ham on a harley thank you what's this
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in regards to Yeah, so I think you already spoke
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with my assistant, Claire, about a reality TV project that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you applied for. And as the lead producer on it,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I'm following up to see if maybe you'd be a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: good fit. Oh, cool. Yeah, and just taking a look
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: at your background, you've never done a reality show before,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: but maybe you're open to try something a little out
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of the box if it pays well? Okay, okay. I'm interested. Great. So, listen,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go over a few options that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: might work well with what you bring to the table,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Harley Jonhan. So, we have a project here called America's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Next Top Roommate. Okay, that sounds exciting. Yep, it's one house,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: 12 strangers, zero clean dishes. Sounds like a nightmare in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: real life. Oh, it's worse, because you're not allowed to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: sleep for more than two hours per day. And... There's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: no working lights anywhere in the house. So you're all
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: doing dishes together in the dark. And you think I'm
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: going to be good for that? I mean, it's possible,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm sensing a little hesitation on your end. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: do have another one. Okay. We have one called Hoarders,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the new relationship edition. Okay. What does that even mean?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, the basic premise is... We'd have you at
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: some hoarder's house cleaning out a living room, and then
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're making out with the hoarder.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: New relationship. I'm making out with a pack rat? I mean,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I can't really go into a lot of the particulars,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: but hopefully you're a cat person, because you are going
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to be a stepdad to 18 cats. That one sounds
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: even worse. Okay, okay. Well, maybe this next one's a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: better fit for you. Okay. It's called Naked and Afraid
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: DMV Edition. I've heard Naked and Afraid. What's the DMV
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of Edition? So, yeah, it's an offshoot of the original
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: where you are naked and afraid, but it's because you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: working at the DMV with your pants off. That sounds
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: absolutely horrible. That's exactly the point. It is supposed to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: be horrible. I've always wanted to do this, but none
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of that stuff. This is not what I thought. No.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at the list. Something's got to
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: work for you here. We've just got to figure out
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: what it is. So let me see. I don't know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I don't really think I'm fitting what you need. Well, okay.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: This one might work. Okay. Let me put one question
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: out there. How much do you weigh? 215 pounds. Perfect. Perfect.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: We just have to get you set up on a
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: different type of diet so you'll be ready for my
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: 600-pound bachelor. No. What? Right off the bat, no. Come on,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you're not seeing the benefits of this. We'll have you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: actually living inside of a cheesecake factory. Are you looking
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: at my headshot? I am. And you know what I'm seeing, honestly?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: A guy with a ton of star potential who has
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a really bad attitude. Because I won't get naked at
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: the DMV? I'm just saying, all the shows I just
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: mentioned have a chance to catapult you to superstardom But
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you keep fighting me on it for some reason. Are
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you insane? It could be worse. We could have done
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Naked and Afraid School Crossing Guard Edition. Well, wait, what? Actually,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the state of Florida is about to okay it. Wait
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a minute. Yeah, you're probably starting to figure out that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: this whole call isn't real and your brother's kind of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: behind the whole thing. What? Your brother Casey, who listens
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to a show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Yeah,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: he set you up for this prank phone call, man. Oh,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: my God. Are you for real? No, I'm not for real.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm actually a radio host. My name is Jeff. Oh,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: my God. No wonder. Holy, who thinks of those kind
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: of shows? Your brother does, apparently. Oh, I'm going to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: kill him. I'm going to kill him. He said that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you've been applying to a bunch of reality shows, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you really haven't been getting a lot of response, so
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he wanted us to mess with you. Oh, my God.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: 600-pound hoarder I want to make out. Oh, my God.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't combine the show's 600-pound bachelor with hoarders, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that's an interesting idea, 600-pound hoarder. Now that's something I'd watch.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Look at Jeffrey's phone taps on the 20s.
