  Speaker 1: happens when people talk about union, You wind up buried
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: where nobody can find you.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: All Right, Well, I do you think in the terms
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: of a Scrubs rewatch podcast, we've done a good, solid
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: five minutes on stop motion. Should we segue into a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: topic they might be interested in? If I tell you something,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: to be surprised. I'm watching that you should be watching.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I know you don't watch things, but it's really good, Joelle,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: you're going to be shocked. To drum roll, I'm strapped in.

• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Are you watching it?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Donald?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I saw the first episode. It was very good.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Colin Ferrell is very, very good.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's very good.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's very good Colin Colin Ferrell. You know, even under
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: all those prosthetics, you think sometimes the performance can get lost.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But he's such a good actor.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: He doesn't overdo it. He doesn't overdo it, you know
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: what I mean. He keeps it simple.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: And that accent. He's got the tough guy gangster accent down.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: And everyone's very good in it. Very it's it's really
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: well made.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder, I wonder how all of this fits
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: into I know it fits in. It doesn't fit into
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the Joker story, but I know it fits into the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Batman story that matt Reeves was doing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: That.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this Colin is going to play the
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: penguin in matt Reeves movie. Is that correct you?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Well, he already was, so he showed up in The
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Batman by matt Reeves, and then he'll be in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: second one as well. He just announced he's in like
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: five or six scenes in the new one.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Well, he's only in three scenes in the first one too.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: M hm.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: He's a small time he's a small time crook.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It's interesting though, not seeing Batman at all. I wonder
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: why they chose to not show the Joker or Batman
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Well, the sequel I hear the sequel series is the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Joker will be uh your boy. Yeah, that'll be the sequel,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the sequel series next season.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, so Colin's not going to do season two from
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: what I.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: From what I understand, there's going to be a Joker
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: series as well as what I heard.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Well, he talks to a Joker series. The Joker is
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the next villain in the Batman story, like the main
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: primary villain in the second Batman movie.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: So we'll see.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: But I hope, I hope, I hope they get a
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: lot of Spinosa's rumors. There could be a Catwoman series
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: with Zilly Kravitz, so let's see. Matt Reeves is really
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: doing a ton of Batman work over at WB right now.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: I sent Donald the animation he's working on right now,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: which looks beautiful and weird and cool. It's like robots
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: and puppets stop motion.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: It's interesting. He's a busy guy. Colin Ferrel is a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: busy guy. Gosh, he's he's got two series going. He's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: got the other one too.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Also is a busy guy who is still the Winter

• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I doubted.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: It really has to do with the fact that Bill

  Speaker 1: has been talking so much.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Shit oh about a reboot?

• 8:59
  Speaker 4: being likes Bendy.

• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He's put it out there, Listen. I went to school

• 9:18
  Speaker 1: sister I run into I used to run into all
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the time, uh at like at like Comic con and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: shit like that. And she would be like, I just
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: remember when you guys were kids, your brother singing five
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Golden Rings at the Talent Show, and so that was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: her connection. I just remember you guys at the talent show,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: and I just remember Vin Diesel being black. I would
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: put it out.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: There, all right. Well, that's our segment on is Vin
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Diesel black?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Listen? We should That's a good question. That's I wish
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we could get him to answer the question.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Why don't you ask chat GPT Daniel?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, Daniel, do you have chat GPT?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Do it? But he has chests the website.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have chat GPT.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It's just a website.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Cash the question. I think I would enjoy it too,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to be honest.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: With you, I use it all the time to answer
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: questions for myself.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Well, it's a Google search. Everybody's looking at AI like
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: AI is a is A is terminator. It's not like
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: terminator right now. It's just a really strong, powerful search engine,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is what AI is. If I'm correct, I.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Don't think it's a search engine. No, it's a language
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: learning model. And so what it does is it basically
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: cribs answers from the Internet, as opposed to being like
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: a search engine.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: But it's not.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: The thing is, it's not searching the internet for answers.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like acquiring language from how people talk
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: about stuff and using that to train itself to respond
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: to inquiries. So the thing is as opposed to trying
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: to like find the best answer for stuff, it will
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: kind of just like say what it thinks you want
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: to hear, which is not necessarily a search engine.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: But then you can do a feature. I think I
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: mentioned where you say, check your work and and how
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: would you have improved your your work? And then it'll
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: give you some thoughtful responses on how it looked back
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: on its work. Impressive come up with an answer.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: Yes, Vin Diesel is of mixed heritage, but he does
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: not identify as black.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: His father said his father is said. This is what
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: chat gpt is saying.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: His father is said to.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: Be of African American and possibly some other ethnic origins,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: while his mother is of predominantly white, mostly European descent.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: And interviews, Vin Diesel has mentioned that he does not
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: know the specifics of his biological father's ancestry, as he
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: was raised by his mother and stepfather.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Well there you go, Donald, Are you satisfied?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I am? I am. I am satisfied with chat GPT's answer,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: but I am not satisfied with it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Seems so upset about it that with the reality, this
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: would really throw I never thought that this question would
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: throw you so much.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I just don't like hearing people say they identify as
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: something other than what they are.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: But he just said he doesn't really know his biological
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: father's ancestry what it was. You just think he's black
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: because he had an afro. I think there's lots of
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Jews who have afros.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Very sure, we don't listen. I don't want to get
• 12:19

• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And then like and then about thirty seconds and he
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: gave up. He's like, I did think that was you, guys?
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: He was like, no, No, I just wanted to tell
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: you about songs that I love for no reason.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I just I wanted to mention songs by other white people.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Have you guys heard of Peter Paul and Mary? I
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: just love the Joel.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I think I hustle hard in town, but I don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: think anybody does more in a given year than you.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: You do a lot of shit.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Well, it's part of my new book coming out called
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Always Say Yes and No Matter What. So I just
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: agree to anything that's ever offered, and sometimes that ends
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: up being fentanyl.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: No, but you do hustle hard.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: You do hustle hard.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: You got a lot of stuff.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Hardest working people in Hollywood right now.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: I agree, but it may not be quality, but I
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: will work very hard.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: No, You've got a lot of quality on your resume.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I want to go back to the beginning, because the
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: first time I found out that you were really funny
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: and you made me laugh so hard was the soup.
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: Oh that's going way back, way back.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Well, that's when I first That's when I first discovered you.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: This was our executive producer. It was also he was
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: also when.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Steely Dan Donald it was a big It was a
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: huge Steely Dan's that band that beat eminem that year
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: at the Grammys.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I remember, you know.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Steely Dan sayings, all my friends are he's taking Joe.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: How did this the soup come about? Because I read
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: that you didn't even have an agent at the time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: How did you get that? I?
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Well, I was at the time.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I had a commercial agent aka who are who were
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: great and continue to be great? Uh? And then I
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: was hip hocketed at gersh which is a Hollywood term.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Everybody, Yeah, I explained to what hip hockets.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Don't know Hollywood? Was that so you're not a fit.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: So there's these agencies they got all in Hollywood or
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: in New York. They all have these separate departments.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: They got a lot.
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: You always have a team, it's usually not just one person.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: And I had this friend from high school, Jason Burns.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: He was an agent at GERSH and he he really
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: helped me. And he was like, look, so what happens
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: is the hip hocket means this one person will send
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: you out kind of under the table to auditions and stuff.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And they're not they're not signing you.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: They're they're feeling you out there.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: And I had had an agent.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: I was with an agency called Stone Manners and they
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: dropped me after a year because I wasn't working. And
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: they literally said, uh, you're too green. Literally said you're
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: too green. Come back when you have more experience, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: and that was that. So that was that wasn't demoralizing
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: at all, not at all. But because I got here
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: and did two quick jobs, got an agent.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: And then it all went away.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and so then I had a hip pocketed Gershon.
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Jason my friend said, look, I'll send you out, but
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: no one here is going to be excited about you.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: So it's a you should not sign here across the
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: board because no one's going to do anything. And I
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: that at the time, was like how dare you? And
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: then I now I was like, oh, that was really
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: great advice and really was showed me the where I
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: was in my career.
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: And then this woman named Anny Roberts.
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: Who cast everything out of E I began booking commercials
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: through AKA and she would see actors in those commercials and.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: Go bring them in for one hundred and one celebrity Oops,
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: and we'll show videos of you know, Chris Cross going
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: to a club and then comedians.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Will comment like you know. It was like an early
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: or like a parallel version of Best Week Ever. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: just from her continuously bringing me in, she got me
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: the audition for what became The Soup, which it was
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: not at the time. It was called The What the Awards,
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: which was a terrible, terrible title for a television show. Yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: and then then the show went on the air and
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: it was on for like six months, and then GERSH
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: was like, we would love to sit down with.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: You for lunch, and I was already paying.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Them, so to get some of.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: My commission back at lunch, I ordered an eight pound
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: lobster and like, I think I ordered two bottles of
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: wine to take home with me. So they and that's
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: when I signed with them. And then then you know,
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: the show was slowly but surely gaining popularity.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: But that's that's how that came together.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: And then when all these other agents of you guys
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: know what, Like when all these other agents show up and.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Be like, we're just big fans, we love your work.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: And I was like, didn't you loved it when it
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: got on? You know, you're sure you sure liked it after.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: I know, it's really hard because there's no interest in
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: you when you're starting out, and then you get a
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: little bit of heat and all of a sudden, there's
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: so much interest in you, and you're like, well, how
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: am I supposed to get started?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Joe, you're the first. You were the first host
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of the super.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: No It was called Talk Soup in ninety one with
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: Greg Kinnear.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Greg.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Yes, So he's the pot he's the true pioneer. And
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: then John Henson came in and really, you know, the
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: show fully exploded then and then how Sparks came in
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: after John Henson left, and then Aisha Tyler was the
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: fourth host and then she Then the show was canceled
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: in two thousand and two because talk shows. It was
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: only about afternoon talk shows. And I know who's ever
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: listening was like there used to just be ever every
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: channel had five talk shows on afterwards back and you
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: were there was enough there and and so we didn't.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: We came in.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: They brought the show in as like, we don't want
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: They literally said, we don't want talk soup. We just
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: want some some kind of version of that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: And then the new.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: President came in and went, why is this called the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: what the awards? It's a terrible name. Let's call it
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: the soup. And that was that and uh.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And then well, yeah, I technically the it was never
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: on my radar, so it was never on my radar
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: before you, Joel.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Well you were also an infant. You were you were
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: just a baby.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I was young, but I I started watching it because
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: of you. You made me laugh really hard, and I
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: thought it was very irreverend at the time too. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I remember thinking like it was almost like a like
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: a roast. I mean, it was so funny and and
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: I couldn't believe some of the ship that they were
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: letting you say I think at the time, I just
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: was I just found it so funny.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I do remember when you took over and how the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: show all of a sudden became it became a little
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: bit more for me, you know what I mean. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: feel like when Kanear was a host, we had Aisha,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: and I thought Aisha did a great job too, But
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: when Kanear was doing it, it just seemed like it
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: was older comedy and it wasn't necessarily the comedy I
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: was laughing at. But then when you got on it,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: it felt like it it was aimed towards me, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I was like, I fucking watch. I would tune in
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to watch the soup.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I remember Bless You.
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: No, it was we got because the President believes in it,
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: and nobody watched it for six months, but the President's like, oh,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: it seems good. You're you're doing better than the the
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: rerun of Sex and the City that we put on
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: at ten o'clock. So once you keep going, uh what,
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: we were just trying to make ourselves laugh, and I
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: and I would literally namecheck high school friends and see
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: if they would call in or like.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: See like that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: They're like, hey, you said my name, Dean's get and
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: I was like, all right, Dean watched it, but yeah,
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: we got, we got. Really it was because on top
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: of that, I'm very dyslexic and cannot read teleprompter very well.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I'm way better at.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: It now, but those first few shows that were like
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: here read twenty two minutes of jokes with cameras and
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: clips coming in and out, it would take me four hours.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: So it was like God had was like, all right,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: we're gonna let you fuck this up for a while
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: and then you'll get a little bit better at it,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: and thank God, and so that's how it. You can
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: The poor people who are at the tapings were they
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: like this, this guy's an idiot and he can't read
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: and that's Oh.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: That must have been really hard because reading a teleprompter
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: live in front of an audience. Oh, dyslexia must have
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: been really stressful.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, it was very Half of it was anxiety, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: thankfully I'm way I mean, you learn different and now
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: you're still not very good at it, but you learn
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: different ways to deal with it. And but boy, those
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: first few days, I remember one taping to four hours
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: to get through twenty two minutes.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Of jokes, and I was like, oh, boy, and.
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: Then we did it live, and I was ashamed of
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: being dyslexic, but then I kind of I got over that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: And then when we did it live live, because we did,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I was like, Hi, it's Joel from the Soup.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: I'm dyslexic. We're doing it live. I don't know what
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: the fuck's gonna happen.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: And how often would you do it live?
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: Well, there was like two years we did it live,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: I think, but it was too like. That was also
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: when the ratings went up, but then it was beginning
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: to win. Like towards the end, that's when the old
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: you know, like streamers were coming in. Television's ratings were diving,
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: and of course they blamed they always blamed the talent.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: And so that's one of the reasons why I went away.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But the same thing, big.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I was on the last episode you were, I was, Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I was on a couple episodes. Actually, yeah, you and I.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: You and I became You and I became friends while
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you were doing this show.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Joel doesn't remember that.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Donald, Well, we played on a basketball team together for
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: several years. Actually, he and I and and competed against

• 25:26
  Speaker 1: and we competed and got we did really well. This
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: is this NBA Celebrity League Entertainment League.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Donald was very into that.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: If you were to have taped those games and shown them,
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: people would not believe, like the different heavy hit like
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: the different real celebrities that were coming in and be like, Oh,
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: we're playing Will Ferrell today.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, oh wow, I'm gonna go to Adam Sandler.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: This is gonna be great.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: Do you remember how Brian McKnight was on our was
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: on our team?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: No, you were on Brian the nice team. He was
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: never on my team. He one year I had Bill
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: lay It was like me, Bill Lawrence, Uh, Jeff Stultz,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I think we had. I want to say Adam McKay
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: was on our team. I could be wrong, but he
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: never showed up. All I know is we had a
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: stacked team of like big time television producers.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Who were on the last few years of their knees and.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Right and and couldn't run and stuff like I remember
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: we dude, we had had.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: A fights broke out. I mean it was it was
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: no joke, it was it was good. It was good competition.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: And then there was some lawyer.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: I remember there was like, who's the freaking lawyer? Who's
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: this who's the six to seven guy? They're like, he's
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: an entertainment lawyer. I'm like that guy, and they're like, oh,
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: he was on the Lakers for he had a good
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: that he was on the Lakers for a year.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: And I was like wow.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's that's cheating.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: But Bob Myers was a fucking Bob Myers played in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: our league. Bob Myers ran the Golden State Warriors in
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: their glory days when they won all of their championships.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He was he played in our league, and he was
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a sports agent at the time.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: So I was like, okay, but there's this There was
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: no quality, there was no levels of qualifying.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: But people took it very seriously. I know Donald took
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: it very serious.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna be honest with you. I think
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: there's some people like Guy Richie doesn't talk to me
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: today because of that league. Guy Richie's like, if I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: ever I'll never go.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: You got in lifelong fights with people.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: No, not guy Richie, my bad mcg. Mcg's like, I'll
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: never hire him.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Wait, what is mc g made lately?
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I know a lot
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: of people hated me, and I knew. And I found
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: this out because one day we were playing and some
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: dude followed me and he's like, I didn't follow him
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and I turned into him. I said, yeah you did,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and he wanted to fight me, like fuck you, Donald,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: kill you, and I was like, whoa. I didn't realize
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: I was hated like that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Do you think the soup could be on today? Joel?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, I wonder in.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: This transition, Zach.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: But listen, Donald was the best person to have on
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: the team because he fucking cared. And I was like,
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: I'm glad Donald's on my team because he doesn't.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: It's yes, he was very passionate.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Do you think do you think it could it could
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: make it?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: We tried it on Netflix and it didn't work. We
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: lasted two seasons. But I don't I always say I
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: don't think so because everything it's very.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Hard to write today. It's very ten.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: People are very people are very sensitive and the show
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: to me. I mean, it's funny I'm saying this, But
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: at the same time, people love the roast. Yeah, Tom
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Brady roast was so many and it was so insane
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: the ship that was being said on the roast. But
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I think in the quality in the context of a roast,
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: people allowed different rules because it's like this old tradition.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Like a roasted.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you's also showing up to participate, your right, Donald.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: But I actually don't think that. When I hear older
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: comics say, oh, crowds are too sensitive now, I actually
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: do not subscribe to that because I because, like I
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: when I heard Seinfeld talk about college crowds that he
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: didn't you know there, I was because when I do
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: colleges there they seem on board. But maybe they're just
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: being nice to this old man and uh but we
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: shots fired, sorry Jerry Seinfeld and uh but but but
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: I have noticed no difference with young people that you
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: can say you can say. I think if it's a
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: good joke, you can say a lot. And I don't
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: think it's I don't think a comedian. I don't think
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: comedians are getting that canceled for.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: But I don't know.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: But I think it's too instantaneous, the U, because we
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: would always we wait a week to tell all that
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: here's your entertainment news, and then here's some clips from
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: reality shows. And I think that stuff is up. Maybe
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: if we did it all TikTok every day, every ten minutes.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: But I don't, I don't, I don't know.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, no one's tuning into television uh on time seemingly,
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: or maybe they do.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: And also everyone's watching so many different things that unless
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it's one of the the sort of three things everybody's
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: talking about that week, no one. People don't have the
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: reference mayb.

• 30:47
  Speaker 10: used to we used to watch I used to watch
• 30:49
  Speaker 10: it to see people stumble and fall and make fun

  Speaker 10: of it and then you make fun of them, you
• 30:53
  Speaker 10: know what I mean?
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Like that was the that was the purpose of the show.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: And now I watched and now I watched Facebook or
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Instagram or TikTok, and people are just doing the soup
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: all by the you know what I mean, they got
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they're superimposing themselves all to the background and everything doing
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. We used to do. Yeah, I think there
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: is a space. I think there is a space for it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that you want to
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: do it, but I think there's a donald.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Do you remember this is so.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we have chicks Man, chicks Man. There wasn't like
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: when he had Joan and Chelsea and me and we
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: had a real comedy brand. And then Joan died, Chelsea left,
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: and then the network was turning in on itself.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, this is all going away very quickly.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what he does anymore.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: At the House of Villains on E hosted by this guy, Thank.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: You, Joel, Joel, thank you for remembering.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Another show.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: You just sat here and talked about how E was
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: turning on itself and how they didn't know what they're doing,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: and yet they hired you again.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Well, Donald, let me explain.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: So I was talking to the lead singer.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: No, here's wait, what's what's a house?
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: The villains is on E But when I was offered
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: the job, because you know, it's straight to offers, guys,
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: I'm leaning right in. Uh No, it's uh because they
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: were Annie was still there. She's not there anymore. She
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: was like, Hey, everybody who fired you has been fired
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: and the people the people were cool again.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, and so we take all.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: The the people that did best on reality shows and
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: who were considered the most evil or the most uh
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: rough and uh you know who caused the most friction,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: and we get all those people together in one house,
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: and we have them compete for money. Uh.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: And so it's called, yeah, a bunch of villains. They
• 32:59
  Speaker 7: let me say whatever I want.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: And I was like, we include like when planes are
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: flying over and you can't hear audio speak speaking too
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: precious people of their audio, and we show people stumbling
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: and falling that you me screwing up my teleprompter. So
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: it's competing to see who is because all these players,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: like someone like Johnny Bananas from the Challenge are very
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: good at what they do. And then you also get
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: like Teresa Judais who's really good on TV and really
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: can be really funny, or like Tiffany Pollard, who's really
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: television gold. And so you get you get that group
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: of folks and they're TV. They're very savvy on TV
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: and uh, it's it's are we just completed our well,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: it's our second season is running right now.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I just watched what's the show that's like Mafia, the Sopranos, Mafia.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: They the game Mafia, Joelle, what's that show where they
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: all compete celebrities? Yeah, talking about Traders, thank you. It's
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: called Traders.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: They had a lot we were on actually before Traders,
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: and Traders really has done very well and we would
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: like some.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Of their work, so we ye Traders.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Traders took a lot of villains and and uh from
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: from reality to us and put them on this show
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: where they could sort of compete to survive and it's
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: pretty funny, entertaining.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: So we actually hope our opening monologue was everybody who
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: wasn't on Traders is here.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: So thanks.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: That's a really good show.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Though, let's take a break.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: We'll be right back after these fine words. We got
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: to talk about one of your most beloved things of
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: all time. Community. It's your agent, remember, I think.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Everybody that's kind of hard to forget.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: No, that is a very beloved show that produced so
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: many talented.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: People on.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Daniel PODi.
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: Yes, no, yes, no, there's so many.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: I was watching it recently on a plane. I watched
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: the pilot again on a plane, and it's just amazing
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: to see how many incredibly talented people came out of
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: that where we're born out of that of that cast.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean too bad for Donald Glover, but
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: everybody else did well.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: He'll be okay. I think he's going to be okay.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: One thing we have in common is that people have
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: always asked, is there going to be some sort of
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: reincarnation of the show? Ours is all talk, but it
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: looks like you guys have a script and are really
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: making a movie.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: We really are.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: It's it's very similar to the Scrubs movie that you
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: guys have been trying to make forever. But no, it's
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: we have Peacock has given us the money. We have
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: the green light to make the movie. So that was
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: the hardest part, and everybody is agreed. We were supposed
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: to shoot it last June, I ruined it and couldn't do.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: It because you had a television show, right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: No, I had three and uh that's what's thank you,
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: thank you so much, kidd four and so uh what
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: a dick. But no, but so I we.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Are going to do it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: I hopefully it'll be in twenty twenty five and then
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: come out in next holiday season.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Is my is my fantasy. It's hope.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Must be so hard to schedule all you guys, because
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: you're all doing so well and that and of course
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: you are not exaggerating of so many shows and how
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: do you so that's the Have you guys found a
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: time to making it for the fans who love the show.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: There is actually going to be a bit.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: There will be a movie.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: Yes, it's we're circling in on the time.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: It won't take too long to shoot because because we'll
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: be were like, we can't. We just need to we
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: it's got to be a truncated schedule. And but what
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: we have to we have to all be there. That's
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: the only caveat. It can't be like we.
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: Shot the one side of that scene when once his
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: name was in Thailand, and then this other side was
• 37:14
  Speaker 7: shot in Toronto like that.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I think that arrested development. Like when
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: they came back, they tried to they had to do
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: something like that, and I remember them being trying to
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: figure out a way to shoot the show that where
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: they weren't all together, and I remember feeling like that
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: was not as as good as the Multigether.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously it was one of the greatest shows
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: of all time, but yeah, you sometimes you can tell
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: what that stuff and yeah.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Now you've been outspoken about a certain cast member. He
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: probably won't be back on a Sandy.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, but he didn't last throughout that. He didn't last.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: He didn't last at a show either though. Man, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: know that he.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Left, but I'm just saying, like, I know, you're not
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: going to do something fire. Yeah he didn't. That must
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: have been hard because it's a weird balance of like, wow,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: this is a living legend, but he's driving us all nuts.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Yep. Uh, there's no other way to put it other than.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess no.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: And he you know, he was really really funny and
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: when the thing when the camera was on him and
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: he was doing his thing, it was he was incredible.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: And uh, but.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: You know, he said that.
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, I literally have a part in my book
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: thank You.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: It's called Thanks Thanks for the Money, came out eight
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: years ago where you know I talk about fighting him and.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Uh physically fighting yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: We did it all the time, and and he he
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: just didn't want to be there. He didn't like the hours,
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: and I you know, you know the hours on something
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: crazy is yea is they're they're endless. And but I
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: was like, the hours are always the hours. I mean,
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: if you're it is going to be what that That's
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: how it always was. We weren't making a four camera sitcom,
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: and so he didn't want to be there, and then
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: eventually he wasn't And uh.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: So that's really interesting.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: He's really fun.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: Could you watch him on camera? I mean, he's a
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: he's a bona fide movie star for real.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Look at SNL. He only did one season at SNL
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and he's one of the most popular and no cast
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: members ever. You know, there's something special about him, obviously,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: But same thing with SNL. People had a hard time
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: with him there too, you know what I mean. It's
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: not like it's not like Chevy Chase is walking around
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: with the best reputation on.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: The I know they talked.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: They all talk about him, so I mean, I he's
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: all those like real a list like he made. He
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: was the highest paid star of the eighties. I mean
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: he made more than Eddie Murphy, which is saying, which
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: is incredible. And I mean those vacation movies and flip
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: between fl I mean there were but then you know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: he you know, we get to this little DN show
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: that didn't become really popular until after it was canceled
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: twice and off the air. That so, yeah, it's all fine.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I wonder if he I wonder if he enjoyed it.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Sounds like he was miserable, and I wonder if he
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: enjoyed making those eighties movies. I wonder, I wonder if
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: he was a happier fellow than I you know, I mean,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's for you to answer. I just
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: wonder out loud, like, you know, if he if you know,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: when he was, when he was at the top of
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: his game, if he was you know, movies have crazy
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: hours too. Maybe I wonder if he enjoyed it more.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: I think he definitely had a fastball then that. And
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: you know, I I think he loved being a movie star,
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: and who the who wouldn't.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Who wouldn't love being a movie star? Right? That sounds
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: like such a fucking you know, I'm gonna say something.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: We I think we all and a lot of the
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: guests that we've had on the show, we all come
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: from an era of television where you had to fucking
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: fight really hard to keep your popular show going. You
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, all of us. It's the conversation
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: that so many people are having when they come on
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: our show. It's always, well, you guys were a hit, right, No,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: we weren't a hit until season three, or we weren't
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: a hit until the end of season one, or you know,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: it's very rare that we've had someone on the show
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that has come in and been like, I haven't I've
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: never been on the show. It was a blessing all
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: the way through. We did twelve seasons. It was easy.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That isn't the conversation, and a lot of people feel like,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the success story is the fact that I
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: don't know, I'm starting to ramble now, but the success story, hey,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: we've been on for nine seasons. They don't know about
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: the blood, sweat and tears that went in between that shit.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Bill Lawrence had to work really hard. We had to
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: switch networks to get to where we were. You guys
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: were canceled three times, you know what I mean. But
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: some way the showrunner found a way to get it
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: back on. It's fucking amazing man.
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well the showrunner was fired then yea.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: How many seasons did Dan not do?
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: And then I and then I quit and said I'm
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: not coming back unless Dan comes back, and then they
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: thankfully allowed you know, Dan came back. I mean, the
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: fact that Dan William would come back was a lot,
• 42:15
  Speaker 5: and but the show wasn't the same even though you.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Know, yeah, that season that he wasn't there. What season
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: is Do you find that that's the fans like that
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: one the least?
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: I Yeah, I would say like, but there's some people
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: that are like, it's you guys are all still great
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: on I'll be like, oh, thank you, I'll take that.
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: Some of it was we kept celebrating a lot.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Of holidays that season, but there was a lot of
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: those holiday episodes. But but some people are like, hey,
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: it's great, and I'm like, well take it. But no,
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: I do not think I personally don't think it has
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: the same feeling as the other five. But but but
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: I agree with Don, very much agree with Don that
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: there's only like you can count them on your hands,
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: where some shows were shot out of a canyon cannon,
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: like Friends or something, where it was like it was
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: a hit, all Modern Family, a hit from the beginning.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: All the way through.
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: Uh, you can make the argument that like Glee shot
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: out of a cannon and then kind of faded, Yeah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: tapered off, but still very popular. But you know, you're
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: always now in this environment, there's not as many episodes,
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: so you like you get two seasons maybe or if
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: you're really lucky, but it's just so difficult to keep
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: those plates spinning. And uh. And when I you know,
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: I hear people go like, well, you're just on a show,
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: And then you're on a show, I'm like, you out.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Of your mind.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: We're constantly building a ship while it's in a storm
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: on the water.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: We are fucking shit is sinking and I'm trying to build.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: That is happening every week.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: And we were like this episode that is beloved Dungeons
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: and Dragons, like Dan was told.
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: After we read that script, they were like, oh, no.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: One likes dungeons and dragons, we should do something else,
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: and they're like what, and so that's those.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Sorts of Lord of the Rings.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that that stuff happens. I'm sure.
• 44:18

• 50:22
  Speaker 5: When I met her, I was like, I'm going to
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: try to let it was like the old trying to
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: land a marlin.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: In the Gulf of Mexico, Like this is going.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: To be very difficult for she's she was so far
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: above my station that I got her. I can somehow
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: tricked her into dating me, and I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: so I got very very lucky. Yeah, I guess the
• 50:46

• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Also lets his his wife sort of be the queen
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: and run the Roostah. She she wrangles him, right, Donald, I.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Learned at a very very very young age in this
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: relationship if I wanted to work, there's certain things that
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: she likes to that she likes, and that's control.
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: I remember when you guys were dating, when like we
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: were playing basketball, and I remember thinking, wow, Donald, is
• 51:25
  Speaker 7: he's out of his league.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: But here, here we go.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: I am very very very very very much aware that
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I am out of my league.
• 51:32

• 51:41
  Speaker 5: and they're so lucky, and you're like, once you get

  Speaker 5: and that's why so lucky.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: My wife is in entertainment though, man, she was like

• 52:01
  Speaker 1: know you. You said you were very lucky and you,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: your wife is the queen. I come to a very
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: realization at a very I'm very well aware my life

  Speaker 1: would be ship if I didn't let her take control.
• 52:12

  Speaker 3: you play a wise ass, but I mean, this was
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: a dramatic part. This was a really frightening character for
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: for the for the for the main protagonist.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: How did that? How did that come out?
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: I thought it was really inspired casting, and I thought

• 56:53
  Speaker 3: which is the real I.
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: Think I would forget to do most shots. I'd be
• 57:00

• 57:08
  Speaker 2: if I would be good at coverage or yeah, it's
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: a lot to think about, and i'd be I think
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: i'd be.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Without naming names, have either one of you worked for
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: a director that was more difficult than an actor? Without
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: naming names, what do you mean that he that he
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: or she like the director was late every day, or
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the director didn't have a shot list or a plan
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: for the shoot and was relying on the crew.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, okay, yeah, yeah a million times.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily we.
• 57:43
  Speaker 5: Had a director in community which I won't say, but
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: they did not actually get coverage and we had to
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: go back and get a bunch of stuff when they
• 57:50
  Speaker 5: weren't there.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, I mean to do a master We definitely
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: had directors on scrubs in all those years where I
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: was like, why we have so many there's so many
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: talented people. Why is this person here fumbling us through
• 58:07

• 58:10
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that?
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I've worked with I've worked with directors that were
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: late for work.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: That is not just that is just that is unforgivable.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, but not just like five minutes late, like
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: an hour late, like the actors are sitting on set
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: waiting to do the Uh. You know, you get to
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: set in the morning and you do this, you practice
• 58:31

• 59:01
  Speaker 5: do this in the in the moment, but I would.
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: If we're a TV show. I would have that person fired.
• 59:10
  Speaker 5: I'd be like, unless they're unless there was a catastrog
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: accident or.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: Something and some but I would be like, we're not

• 59:33
  Speaker 5: good director because you keep these freaking trains on time.
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: Well, Donald will have a yem Yang thing because Donald
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: smokes a lot of weed and he goes off on tangents.
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: And then my job is to be a little bit
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: of like steer the ship.
• 59:46
  Speaker 7: All I ask in favor is that maybe we go

  Speaker 3: those kids better be in Gucci sneakers.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're so lucky. They look great.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: We missed a lot, man, We could have got into
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: a lot. That dude's been in so much stuff.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: I know, but you know, we did an hour with him,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to you know, we don't like
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: to push it. We asked people to come on for
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: an hour, and we like them to We like to
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: keep our word.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, But man.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: He's got a lot of energy and he does so much.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: It makes me want to hustle harder. I don't think
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: I'm hustling hard enough.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I know I'm not hustling hard enough right now. But
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I've got a plan. I'm gonna make this little short
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: and then, you know whatever, I.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: Do like game shows and shit like that. I mean,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: you could be hosting a Villains of a Villain house. Yeah,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: you know, we used to do the occasional game show.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I you know how it is, man, I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: do you like to work, which is very true, But
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: I want to work on things that I'm that I
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: feel great about now. You know what I mean too.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: And if it sounds like Joel was just saying he
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: just says yes to everything.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. He said. That's what he said
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: was saying. But that's fine. Some people really really like
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: to do that I don't know. I don't. I don't
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: know if that's for me, But I'm not going to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: be mad at anybody for saying yes to work. Work
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: is work, and no, I know, I don't.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: I'm just thinking my version of it, like I miss
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: working more and I want to work more, and I
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: but I don't want to just do something I don't like.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: I would never do something that I don't have an
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: interest in watching right or or or or I don't know.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: I guess I am precious about associating myself with something
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: that I don't think is his quality. I don't want
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: to work just to work.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: I used to not give a shit, but now I
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: really do care about what it is that I do.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I think the next thing. I think the next thing
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: is the most important thing, regardless of what I just
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: recently did, you know, And I want the next thing
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: to be better now, Whereas before it's like I just
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: want quantity, quantity, quantity, and now I'm all about Now
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: it's like I just want to do something.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: You have You're lucky that you have that ability and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: that blessing to be able to do that. A lot
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: of people, I mean, the town is very slow right now,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people are not working and need
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: work and are suffering. Crew members and actors.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Can I ask you what's going on?
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: Because there seems to be a show coming out every week,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: but then you listen to our contemporaries and we're not working. Man.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: I think the town is still very slow post you know,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: when you factor in post COVID, post strike, multiple strikes,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think the town has fully recovered. Los Angeles
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: certainly hasn't recovered. I think more and more jobs are
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: not in Los Angeles. The governor just signed a new
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: version of the tax incentive to try and keep more
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: work in town. But as we all know, most jobs
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: are going out of state for tax incentives Canada and Atlanta, Georgia.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: So it behooves you to live in like Austin, Texas? Now?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: Is that to know?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: If it behooves you to live in Austin, Texas? I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: think I just think that, you know. I think the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: strike gave the studios and opportunity to sort of reframe
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: their attitudes towards production and slow everything down and just
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: sort of clear the slate, clear deals, catch their breath.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would imagine their shareholders want them to
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: recoup the money they lost. I'm making all this up,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: by the way. I'm not a pundent on the entertainment business.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 3: I'm just rambling. But I do think that I would
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: assume there's a mandate to sort of recoup all the
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: money it was lost for the strike. Danel your thoughts probably.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the same thing with like record deals.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: At a certain point people want the money that they
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: spent on certain things back. But I definitely echo the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: sentiment of Camember, the writer's name, but he wrote American
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: fiction about how why do we spend so much time
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: making one hundred million dollar movies instead of making ten
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: ten million dollar movies. It's like, not everything needs to
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: be as big of a gamble. It'd be better if
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: you did. But but but but for the theatrical space,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: it kind of does right now. I mean, the things
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: that people are going to see and talk about are
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: and we're talking about They're talking about Wick Kids, we're
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: talking about Gladiator two, and.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: We're talking about the next Marvel movie, Captain America. That's
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: what it's all really big. You can't, it's I can't.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, Zach tried to release a movie in theaters,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: and that was he found out how difficult that was,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it never really truly found its audience until
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: it was on Prime, which it was. Then it fucking
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: crushed Donald. We can't end the episode without discussing something
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: you might not even know because it's on the interwebs
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: this morning, that Denzel Washington will be in the I know,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Black Panther.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Movie and he's also going to retire. And he's also
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: going to retire.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: But I thought that Denzel in that stuff.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's bound to happen. If Harrison Ford
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: is in fucking Marble, Denzel is, if fucking Russell Crowe
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: is in Marble, Denzel eventually will it has to be
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: because it's just, I mean, he can't finish the career
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: without that. But now he's saying he's going to retire
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: after that ship.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I don't want it to happen. How about that. I've
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: been in I've been in a movie with Denzel Washington,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: But really we didn't know, and I still when he's
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: when I heard he said he was going to retire,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: part of me was like, I'm not gonna get the
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: chance to work with Denzel. I'm not gonna have an
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: opportunity to work with Denzel.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I think that you're going to be in Black Panther.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm manifesting for you.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: I would love that. Ryan, call me, Bro, You're.
• 1:05:57

• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: You know, I got a lot of Nigerian in my blood,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: which is which is you know, very West African. You
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I know Ryan, but I'll call him right now.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 5: But you know.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I don't get called in for the for them rolls.

• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: in in Wakanda.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: It'll probably be somebody else.
