Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: The people that know about movie making would understand that
- 0:03Speaker 1: when we'd made Moneyball, we were not making a documentary.
- 0:06Speaker 2: This was a movie.
- 0:07Speaker 3: Ju enough, Men are trying hard. Men need to try harder.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Bring back yearning.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Baseball is a game of failure.
- 0:13Speaker 1: You have to learn how to find the victory in
- 0:16Speaker 1: a perceived loss.
- 0:17Speaker 3: Wait a minute, so you were naked on screen?
- 0:19Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 0:20Speaker 4: I mean what was that like? It was like the

- 0:39Speaker 4: Stephen Bishop will be joining me to talk all about
- 0:42Speaker 4: his new movie Finding Faith.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Plus, we debate about the.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Unwritten rules of baseball, which, if you have followed me
- 0:48Speaker 4: on my sports side of the career at all, you
- 0:49Speaker 4: know how much I hate those, and we will talk
- 0:52Speaker 4: about the real story behind his Moneyball performance, which was
- 0:56Speaker 4: one of my favorite baseball movies. But first, oh so,
- 1:02Speaker 4: my dear friend and business partner Marcos is constantly encouraging
- 1:05Speaker 4: me to be more positive in my rants at the
- 1:09Speaker 4: beginning of the show, and this one was a natural
- 1:11Speaker 4: one for me because I would quit.
- 1:14Speaker 3: My entire life for Benito.
- 1:18Speaker 4: And I'm being late when I say that if I disappear,
- 1:21Speaker 4: it's because I am.
- 1:22Speaker 3: I'm touring the world with Bad Bunny.
- 1:25Speaker 4: It's been announced this week that Bad Bunny will be
- 1:27Speaker 4: the halftime performer for the Super Bowl this year, super
- 1:31Speaker 4: Bowl sixty, and I cannot be more thrilled.
- 1:35Speaker 3: I love Bad Bunny.
- 1:36Speaker 4: I actually saw Bad Bunny at Coachella at Coachella yes
- 1:42Speaker 4: where I was totally sober, and he's obviously incredible, and
- 1:47Speaker 4: we love Bad Bunny. And he has just finished an
- 1:50Speaker 4: incredible thirty show residency in Puerto Rico that attracted over
- 1:55Speaker 4: six hundred thousand fans and created two one hundred million
- 1:59Speaker 4: dollars worth of economic impacts in Puerto Rico, and his
- 2:03Speaker 4: finale of his San Juan residency became the most watched
- 2:07Speaker 4: single artist performance on Amazon Music to date. And my
- 2:12Speaker 4: favorite part of this if you just as a note,
- 2:15Speaker 4: if you want to get my juices flowing, like you
- 2:17Speaker 4: want to tell me something that's really going to get
- 2:19Speaker 4: me activated, like something that has upset the fuddy duds
- 2:26Speaker 4: is always it's always going to make the KIDDI perr.
- 2:29Speaker 4: Nothing makes my day more than a bunch of cousin
- 2:34Speaker 4: fuckers being upset over something it has nothing to do
- 2:37Speaker 4: with them.
- 2:38Speaker 3: I enjoy it so much.
- 2:39Speaker 4: It's the little things in life, you know, like one
- 2:43Speaker 4: of the biggest artists in the world being booked for
- 2:47Speaker 4: the Super Bowl halftime show, something that would make sense,
- 2:51Speaker 4: you know, you know, someone who's been around music for
- 2:53Speaker 4: quite some time, jay Z making a really good business
- 2:56Speaker 4: decision for the NFL and for the viewers. I think
- 3:02Speaker 4: it's spectacular that people are upset about Bad Bunny, and
- 3:05Speaker 4: I think it's spectacular that Bad Bunny is doing the show.
- 3:08Speaker 4: And of course it's not just Maga people who are
- 3:11Speaker 4: upset about Bad Bunny, because we're allth make Spanish. But
- 3:14Speaker 4: there's also this like fringe group of idiot, fake revolutionaries
- 3:20Speaker 4: who never see around the corner. These are the people
- 3:22Speaker 4: that actually irritate me, the Maga people. It's actually very
- 3:25Speaker 4: fun and enjoyable because they get mad about everything. There's
- 3:29Speaker 4: no one that could have been put in this spot
- 3:31Speaker 4: that wasn't a white Christian rapper that would have made
- 3:35Speaker 4: them happy.
- 3:36Speaker 3: So I don't care about that but.
- 3:38Speaker 4: It's the people who don't understand the vision behind Bad
- 3:41Speaker 4: Bunny performing at the super Bowl. Oh capitalism all wins again.
- 3:46Speaker 4: You don't get paid to do the Super Bowl. No
- 3:50Speaker 4: one gets paid to perform at the super Bowl because
- 3:52Speaker 4: it is the biggest stage on the planet or at least
- 3:56Speaker 4: in American television, So no one gets paid to do it.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It is a massive platform, and as we just saw
- 4:03Speaker 4: with Kendrick Lamar, it is a platform that you can
- 4:06Speaker 4: use to send a very very strong pointnance message, which
- 4:11Speaker 4: I can promise you that Bad Bunny is going to do.
- 4:13Speaker 3: Now.
- 4:13Speaker 4: The reason why some of these people are upset is
- 4:15Speaker 4: because Bad Bunny specifically did not have any shows on
- 4:19Speaker 4: this tour in the continental United States because he felt
- 4:23Speaker 4: like it would be unsafe for his fans to attend
- 4:26Speaker 4: because these losers who got picked on in high school
- 4:29Speaker 4: and never developed a personality aka ice.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Would be setting up raids outside of the show.
- 4:35Speaker 4: So the response for some people is, well, if you
- 4:37Speaker 4: weren't going to do any shows, why are you doing
- 4:39Speaker 4: the Super Bowl?
- 4:40Speaker 3: Now?
- 4:40Speaker 4: This part I understand. I'm speaking from a place of privilege.
- 4:43Speaker 4: I have been to many sporting events. I have been
- 4:45Speaker 4: to multiple Super Bowls. I have been to NBA finals,
- 4:48Speaker 4: i have been to MLB World Series Finals.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I've been to a lot of these places.
- 4:54Speaker 4: And I realize I'm speaking from a place of privilege,
- 4:56Speaker 4: but also in this particular case, I can speak from
- 4:58Speaker 4: a place of experience.
- 5:00Speaker 3: The Super Bowl is.
- 5:02Speaker 4: Not a regular attendance event. It is not reflective of
- 5:07Speaker 4: people who normally go to a football game. It is celebrities.
- 5:12Speaker 4: It is the wealthiest of wealthy fans of the teams,
- 5:17Speaker 4: like people who have lots and lots of expendable income
- 5:19Speaker 4: to spend thousands of dollars on what otherwise would be
- 5:22Speaker 4: shitty seats to a game. It is a lot of sponsors.
- 5:25Speaker 4: It is a lot of corporate people. It is owners
- 5:29Speaker 4: and their friends. It is a very expensive, elitist event.
- 5:34Speaker 4: It is super super expensive to go to the Super Bowl.
- 5:37Speaker 4: It is not an easy thing to get into. So
- 5:39Speaker 4: that being said, it is not your average Sunday game
- 5:43Speaker 4: that is attended by fans, local fans of the team. Yes,
- 5:46Speaker 4: there will be fans there, they will be fans with
- 5:48Speaker 4: lots of money. So performing at the super Bowl and
- 5:52Speaker 4: being in that building is very, very different than bad money.
- 5:57Speaker 3: Having tour dates around the country.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Why Joy, Probably because the NFL is and it's billionaire
- 6:07Speaker 4: owners is not going to risk this orange fuck setting
- 6:11Speaker 4: up ice raids outside of the biggest night of their year.
- 6:17Speaker 4: It's not going to happen. There are billionaires involved here,
- 6:21Speaker 4: people with lots of money and lots of power. They're
- 6:24Speaker 4: not going to fuck that day up over this racist,
- 6:26Speaker 4: corny bullshit that in fact they don't care about.
- 6:29Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen.
- 6:30Speaker 4: What is going to happen, though, is Bad Money is
- 6:32Speaker 4: going to have a stage to perform in Spanish for
- 6:36Speaker 4: the entire world to see at the NFL's biggest moments
- 6:40Speaker 4: of the year and the biggest stage in American television
- 6:44Speaker 4: every single year. In my estimation, it will be the
- 6:48Speaker 4: most watched halftime show in history, which the halftime shows
- 6:52Speaker 4: are already shending in that direction anyway.
- 6:55Speaker 3: But Bad Money is a.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Super super super super super superstar, and just because you
- 7:02Speaker 4: don't speak Spanish or you don't know any of his
- 7:04Speaker 4: songs does not make him any less of a superstar.
- 7:06Speaker 3: It quite frankly, just makes you a little less cultured.
- 7:09Speaker 4: And you don't even have to like Bad Bunny to
- 7:11Speaker 4: understand the impact that Bad Bunny has, So I love,
- 7:16Speaker 4: love this choice.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I'm so excited for the show.
- 7:18Speaker 4: The show is gonna be sexy, it is gonna be fun,
- 7:20Speaker 4: it's gonna be high energy, it's gonna be very enjoyable,
- 7:23Speaker 4: and it is going to be a fantastic political statement
- 7:26Speaker 4: for these times. So I'm so here for it. I
- 7:28Speaker 4: think it was such a great choice. I'm so happy
- 7:31Speaker 4: about it. And like I said, nothing gets me steamier
- 7:34Speaker 4: than a bunch of hillbillies that can't read getting upset
- 7:37Speaker 4: about something that they know nothing about.
- 7:39Speaker 3: It really just makes my day. All right. Time to
- 7:41Speaker 3: get to Stephen Bishop.
- 7:42Speaker 4: All right, I'm so excited to have an incredible actor
- 7:46Speaker 4: and producer. You may know him from titles like Being
- 7:48Speaker 4: Mary Jane, Moneyball, which.
- 7:51Speaker 3: I can't wait to talk to him about, and.
- 7:52Speaker 4: He co stars in the film Finding Faith, where he
- 7:55Speaker 4: plays Pastor Lewis Wesley.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Stephen Bishop, Welcome to Supersonal.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you for having.
- 8:00Speaker 4: Me, Thanks for joining us. Well, let's start with baseball.
- 8:05Speaker 4: You played baseball for how long?
- 8:09Speaker 1: Professionally?
- 8:10Speaker 3: Just like in your life?
- 8:11Speaker 4: Because I have a theory about baseball that I'm going
- 8:14Speaker 4: I'm gonna lob to you.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Was it hard to retire.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I actually I didn't retire.
- 8:25Speaker 1: After I was released from professional baseball. I started playing
- 8:29Speaker 1: wherever I could play. I played in some men's leagues.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I played in wood bat leagues. I was a mercenary
- 8:36Speaker 1: where teams would come get me to go play in
- 8:38Speaker 1: tournaments like Team Easton, you know the Eastern Bats. They
- 8:42Speaker 1: came and got me. And this was the last tournament
- 8:45Speaker 1: I ever played. We played the Men's wood Bat World
- 8:48Speaker 1: Series in Arizona. We won it, we got our rings.
- 8:53Speaker 1: I retired. I gave it up for golf.
- 8:56Speaker 4: So okay, yeah, I see that you're a big golfer
- 8:58Speaker 4: on social media. So oh, how old were you when
- 9:02Speaker 4: you started playing baseball?
- 9:03Speaker 1: Three?
- 9:04Speaker 4: Okay, So this is my theory about baseball players. I
- 9:08Speaker 4: think baseball is the hardest sport to retire from because football,
- 9:14Speaker 4: in a lot of ways, your body will tell you
- 9:16Speaker 4: when to retire.
- 9:18Speaker 3: And football, I'm like baseball or even.
- 9:21Speaker 4: Basketball, there's no other league, Like there's no lower league.
- 9:27Speaker 4: You're not going overseas to play like you're playing in
- 9:29Speaker 4: the NFL, or you're done like I have.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Heard of some people, though, that have found men's football
- 9:35Speaker 1: leagues where there's are older guys that are out there
- 9:37Speaker 1: like us in baseball, and they're just getting hammered.
- 9:40Speaker 2: I mean, they're killing each other out there.
- 9:43Speaker 4: I'm sure they exist, but generally speaking, like your body
- 9:47Speaker 4: gets banged up very badly, you are pretty much aware.
- 9:50Speaker 3: Everyone is pretty much aware.
- 9:51Speaker 4: You're likely not playing forty plus unless you are a
- 9:55Speaker 4: kicker or a quarterback.
- 9:58Speaker 3: There's very few outliers in that space even if you do.
- 10:01Speaker 4: And so football kind of your body kind of ends
- 10:04Speaker 4: it for you, and there's not really a whole lot
- 10:05Speaker 4: of other options to drag it out. Basketball kind of similar,
- 10:09Speaker 4: but there is international there's you know, like Big Three,
- 10:13Speaker 4: like you can you can drag it out extended a
- 10:16Speaker 4: little bit longer, but even still, it's a young man's game,
- 10:18Speaker 4: and it is just very different type of sport. Baseball though,
- 10:24Speaker 4: not only could you play for a very long time.
- 10:26Speaker 3: There are a lot of options.
- 10:28Speaker 4: There's independent ball, there's these tournaments you can play internationally.
- 10:32Speaker 4: But you play that's the first sport you play. You
- 10:36Speaker 4: started playing when you were three years old.
- 10:38Speaker 1: I actually wandered away from daycare and saw kids playing.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Gapes daycare.
- 10:48Speaker 1: And saw kids playing Little League, and went and tugged
- 10:52Speaker 1: on the coach and asked if I could play because
- 10:54Speaker 1: my mom had been teaching me how to play since
- 10:57Speaker 1: I could stand right, she was tossing me balls and
- 10:59Speaker 1: you know, my dad brought a glove to the maternity ward.
- 11:03Speaker 2: You know, so I was that was my thing. But yeah,
- 11:07Speaker 2: it is. It is one of the first sports.
- 11:10Speaker 1: The first sport I think that a lot of kids play,
- 11:13Speaker 1: and it is a sport is gymnastics because we're all tumbling.
- 11:17Speaker 1: We're learning how to tumble and fall and doing that.
- 11:20Speaker 1: And then soccer is one that a lot of really
- 11:24Speaker 1: young kids play because they're you know, it's a very
- 11:27Speaker 1: good sport to start, because you're learning how to use
- 11:29Speaker 1: footwork and coordination and distance.
- 11:31Speaker 2: And angles and things like that.
- 11:33Speaker 1: So but yeah, baseball is a sport that you you
- 11:36Speaker 1: start out very young, and it is a sport that
- 11:40Speaker 1: you can extend into older ages.
- 11:44Speaker 2: I still feel like I could play.
- 11:45Speaker 1: I feel like if I could, you know, give me
- 11:47Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to I mean, I still throw.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I coach, you know, and I coach high school and
- 11:52Speaker 1: college guys, and I still throw BP and I still
- 11:55Speaker 1: play catch, and I still and I feel like if I.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Now, my legs don't feel the same.
- 12:00Speaker 1: My legs tell me, like, if I was to try
- 12:02Speaker 1: to run from home to first, I'd probably pull a hamstring.
- 12:05Speaker 1: But if I could get a couple of weeks, I
- 12:07Speaker 1: still feel like I could play competitor.
- 12:10Speaker 4: I mean, maybe you could. I don't know what, what's
- 12:12Speaker 4: your okay? I if I start running, it's an emergency
- 12:16Speaker 4: because like I'm not trying to run anywhere. Yeah, but
- 12:20Speaker 4: my trainer puts me on the treadmill at the gym.
- 12:22Speaker 4: I'm like, I don't I might not come back here.
- 12:25Speaker 4: I hate running, And I ran track in college, so
- 12:28Speaker 4: it's it's out of my system. But I really I
- 12:30Speaker 4: ran at a school in Pennsylvania.
- 12:32Speaker 1: My sister ran track in college in college Stanford.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Yeah, so she was. She's a couple of sicks out
- 12:39Speaker 3: above me.
- 12:41Speaker 4: But yeah, I just I think baseball is the hardest
- 12:44Speaker 4: to get out of your system.
- 12:46Speaker 3: And in my experience, like it is.
- 12:49Speaker 4: It's just you play from when when you're so little,
- 12:52Speaker 4: Like baseball is so different than football and basketball, like
- 12:56Speaker 4: you're not you don't have the coordination to really play
- 12:58Speaker 4: basketball as a little kid, and so you're like like
- 13:00Speaker 4: six or seven or eight, and they even still it's
- 13:02Speaker 4: like a little nasty to watch football, even the little ones,
- 13:06Speaker 4: they're still kind of just running around, but base giant
- 13:10Speaker 4: look like yeah, And like a lot of kids now
- 13:14Speaker 4: are playing flag before they get into tackle football, so
- 13:18Speaker 4: they wait so they're a little bit older. My nephews
- 13:20Speaker 4: did that and my brother so yeah, I mean, I
- 13:23Speaker 4: I just I stand by this theory, like baseball is
- 13:26Speaker 4: the hardest sport to get out of your system and
- 13:28Speaker 4: walk away from.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I actually coached flag football.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Peterberg, the director of Peterburg, and I coached together for
- 13:33Speaker 1: a couple of years.
- 13:34Speaker 2: We coached first year out we were.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Undefeated gost Saints and I was the defensive coordinator, and
- 13:40Speaker 1: you know, it was it was a lot of fun.
- 13:42Speaker 2: I think with baseball.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Though, because baseball is a slower sport as far as pace,
- 13:49Speaker 1: where we're standing around a lot waiting in between pitches
- 13:52Speaker 1: and you know, with mound visits and all the other stuff.
- 13:55Speaker 2: And basketball is a.
- 13:56Speaker 1: Stamina sport where you're going up and down the court
- 13:58Speaker 1: non stop, sometimes for two three minutes without a time out,
- 14:03Speaker 1: and football is the you know, collision sport. I think
- 14:06Speaker 1: baseball lends itself to being able to extend because we
- 14:11Speaker 1: you know, we pace ourselves our season. If you're in
- 14:14Speaker 1: the big leagues, you're one hundred and sixty two games
- 14:16Speaker 1: in one hundred and eighty days, you know, and so
- 14:19Speaker 1: at three and a half hours, you know, are looking
- 14:21Speaker 1: in the stands, smelling the grass.
- 14:23Speaker 2: It's it's a much more relaxed sport.
- 14:25Speaker 1: It's it is from what most people would tell you,
- 14:28Speaker 1: the most difficult thing to do in sport is hit
- 14:31Speaker 1: a pitch. Baseball.
- 14:32Speaker 3: I believe this.
- 14:34Speaker 4: I've had this argument with many athletes. But I think
- 14:36Speaker 4: to hit in the majors, like to hit a major
- 14:40Speaker 4: league pitcher, I think is almost impossible to do.
- 14:45Speaker 1: High school to hit a well, I'm.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Not hitting anything. I mean, you could tell you look
- 14:50Speaker 3: terrible no matter what.
- 14:51Speaker 1: You could take some of the best athletes in the
- 14:53Speaker 1: world and put them in a high school game and
- 14:55Speaker 1: they wouldn't make contact.
- 14:57Speaker 2: And it's I mean, you have four tenths of a second.
- 15:01Speaker 1: If a guy's out there throwing ninety miles an hour,
- 15:03Speaker 1: you have four tenths of a second to see the
- 15:04Speaker 1: ball out of his hand, decide what pitch it is,
- 15:08Speaker 1: decide if it's in the hitting zone, and get the
- 15:10Speaker 1: swing off less than half a second to do that, so,
- 15:15Speaker 1: you know, and evidenced by the fact that the you
- 15:18Speaker 1: know what a lot of people would call the greatest
- 15:20Speaker 1: athlete ever, Michael Jordan tried it and had, you know,
- 15:25Speaker 1: a very mediocre experience with I mean, now, he had
- 15:29Speaker 1: some flashes, but without playing his whole life. It wasn't
- 15:33Speaker 1: like it was something that he could just jump in
- 15:34Speaker 1: there and do do you.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Think that baseball gets uh? Do you think how do
- 15:41Speaker 4: you think it evolves? Because for me covering baseball, it's
- 15:44Speaker 4: become a very regional sport and the excitement of baseball
- 15:49Speaker 4: to me because the season is so long and you
- 15:51Speaker 4: have you have all these god forsaken unwritten rules. I'm
- 15:56Speaker 4: still not a fan of unwritten rules. I'm I can't
- 15:58Speaker 4: tell by your smile if you agree or if you're, like.
- 16:01Speaker 2: I subscribe to pearists. Still teach them the kids.
- 16:05Speaker 4: They're not rules. They're literally unwritten. They're not rules, they're.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Rules within the fraternity of Now.
- 16:13Speaker 4: That's not a rule, that's literally That's the definition of
- 16:16Speaker 4: a rule is that it is a rule. It's like
- 16:18Speaker 4: it's agreed upon fantasy things.
- 16:21Speaker 2: It's not a rule of the game.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Playing the game, but in the context of the fraternity
- 16:28Speaker 1: of players. There are rules that you just don't break, and.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Those they are suggestions.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Okay, that's how people get hurt. They take them as suggestions.
- 16:38Speaker 4: But can you just you do understand what I'm saying though,
- 16:42Speaker 4: right Like, it doesn't.
- 16:44Speaker 3: It does not make sense to me. Why can't you
- 16:45Speaker 3: flip abat?
- 16:47Speaker 1: It's disrespectful. Listen, I'm listen. Here's the thing.
- 16:52Speaker 2: It's already you've already.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Done what you were supposed to do. You've already beat
- 16:57Speaker 1: the man. Okay, you've already hit him into the second deck.
- 17:01Speaker 1: The entire stands have watched you do it. And now
- 17:05Speaker 1: you want to rub it in his face. Yes, yeah,
- 17:07Speaker 1: that's disrespectful and you can do it. You can fully
- 17:11Speaker 1: do it. Just be prepared to pay the cost of that.
- 17:15Speaker 1: If here's what the philosophy was. If I'm hitting and
- 17:21Speaker 1: I do that, I hit a home run and I
- 17:23Speaker 1: flip my bat and I'm hey, look at me. The
- 17:25Speaker 1: guy behind me in my lineup when I come and
- 17:29Speaker 1: touch home plate, he's gonna look at me like, bro,
- 17:31Speaker 1: you probably just got me hit. And that's the way
- 17:34Speaker 1: we were.
- 17:35Speaker 4: But you do understand like this, that's that's like part
- 17:40Speaker 4: of the like pomp and circumstance of sport. Like, what's
- 17:44Speaker 4: the difference between a receiver dancing in the end zone
- 17:48Speaker 4: and someone flipping about and you do yourself just said
- 17:51Speaker 4: it's the hardest thing in sports to do is to
- 17:53Speaker 4: hit a home run.
- 17:55Speaker 1: The difference, I don't think the difference of dance. There's
- 17:59Speaker 1: dance in the end zone is a different thing. If
- 18:01Speaker 1: you stand over the guy that you just caught the
- 18:05Speaker 1: ball on and dance over him, you're gonna get in
- 18:08Speaker 1: a fight.
- 18:09Speaker 2: And that's the equivalent.
- 18:11Speaker 3: Maybe now you'll get a penalty because they're soft, but I.
- 18:16Speaker 1: And you'll get in a fight.
- 18:17Speaker 4: So you're not all so like baseball puts all these
- 18:21Speaker 4: parameters around how you're supposed to behave that are not
- 18:24Speaker 4: real rules.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Well, that's an.
- 18:26Speaker 4: Stifle the like the creativity and the fun of the sport.
- 18:33Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I am. I have been online. Had a
- 18:37Speaker 1: live with David Justice, Royce Clayton, Jerry Hairston coaches about
- 18:42Speaker 1: bat flips and how our generation was totally against it.
- 18:46Speaker 1: The more subtle your pimp job, the more of a pimp.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Job it was.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Now it's they're throwing the bat fifty feet in the air,
- 18:56Speaker 1: it's coming down hitting the umpire, they're doing pirouette down
- 19:00Speaker 1: the line, they're doing all kinds of stuff that we
- 19:03Speaker 1: look at as you're over doing it, act like you've
- 19:05Speaker 1: been there before. Is this your first home run? I mean,
- 19:08Speaker 1: you see what run you shouldn't be in the big
- 19:11Speaker 1: leagues if that's your first time run or in college.
- 19:13Speaker 3: No, like your first big league home run, you can't
- 19:16Speaker 3: pimp that one.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Depends what depends on the situation. If it's a walk
- 19:20Speaker 1: off homer, pimp it. If it's a you know, if
- 19:24Speaker 1: it's a homer five hundred and twenty feet, pimp it,
- 19:29Speaker 1: But tread lightly because if it's your first home run,
- 19:32Speaker 1: you're likely a rookie, and that guy out there that
- 19:34Speaker 1: you hit it off of is likely not and he's
- 19:37Speaker 1: likely going to come up and in at you the
- 19:39Speaker 1: next time. Not to mention the guy behind you, who
- 19:41Speaker 1: might be a fifteen year veteran, he's going to throw
- 19:44Speaker 1: at him, and then you're gonna have to deal with
- 19:47Speaker 1: You know, our philosophy in college was you do something
- 19:50Speaker 1: like that to disrespect our team or show up our pitcher,
- 19:54Speaker 1: We're going to hit the next guy and let you,
- 19:56Speaker 1: guys figure that out and dugout, and then you're gonna
- 19:59Speaker 1: get it again the next time you come up to
- 20:02Speaker 1: the plate.
- 20:02Speaker 2: So here was it.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Like you say, you can do it, you just have
- 20:07Speaker 1: to be prepared to pay the cost of doing.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Why do you have to pay the cost though?
- 20:11Speaker 4: Like?
- 20:11Speaker 3: Why, I just don't understand it. I don't understand. It's
- 20:14Speaker 3: not real rules.
- 20:15Speaker 1: No, no, they're not rules. It's just it's a respect thing.
- 20:19Speaker 1: We understand how difficult the game is. We understand the grind.
- 20:22Speaker 1: We understand that everybody out here is trying the best
- 20:25Speaker 1: they can. I already defeated you. I don't then need
- 20:28Speaker 1: to rub it in your face.
- 20:30Speaker 4: And if you're wearing a shirt with Muhammad Ali on it, yeah,
- 20:35Speaker 4: like one of the greatest trash talkers of all time,
- 20:38Speaker 4: it may be the greatest.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I'm young, I'm pretty, I ain't got a scar on
- 20:41Speaker 1: my face.
- 20:42Speaker 4: I must be the greatest, right, So, like this type
- 20:45Speaker 4: of stuff is part of the sport.
- 20:48Speaker 1: That sport.
- 20:51Speaker 2: They're already fighting.
- 20:52Speaker 1: They're already fighting, all.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Right, all right, I just you know what, we have
- 20:56Speaker 4: to agree to disagree because I hate the unwritten rules
- 20:58Speaker 4: of baseball.
- 20:58Speaker 2: And listen, I understand.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I don't expect anybody but baseball players to really get
- 21:03Speaker 1: it and to adhere to it. You know, there are
- 21:07Speaker 1: guys out there who are old school fans who understand it,
- 21:10Speaker 1: and but you know, I don't expect anybody but baseball
- 21:13Speaker 1: players to really grasp not grasp it, but really feel
- 21:17Speaker 1: it in their spirit and respect it. You know. It's
- 21:20Speaker 1: like I said, we understand it's very difficult. Like you know,
- 21:23Speaker 1: when guys are out there screaming and yelling at hitters
- 21:26Speaker 1: after they strike him out. You know, listen, Okay, you
- 21:30Speaker 1: already struck me out. It's already the hardest thing in
- 21:33Speaker 1: sport to do, and that was your ninth of the day.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Why are you screaming at me?
- 21:39Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 21:40Speaker 4: It's just I like the animosity. I like the the
- 21:44Speaker 4: edginess of the back and forth. But I understand, listen,
- 21:47Speaker 4: I've had this conversation many times, but I won't be moved.
- 21:50Speaker 1: And here's the thing that people say, Oh, when you
- 21:53Speaker 1: you throw at the guy, you're soft, you know, because
- 21:58Speaker 1: well you're being sensitive. You flip the bat, you couldn't
- 22:02Speaker 1: handle it, you throw at him, you're soft if you
- 22:04Speaker 1: don't want him to hit a home run.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Pitch better.
- 22:07Speaker 1: But what they failed realize is that by throwing at him,
- 22:11Speaker 1: we are inviting him out to fight. Right.
- 22:14Speaker 2: So who's really soft?
- 22:16Speaker 1: The guy who wants to take liberties without any consequence,
- 22:19Speaker 1: or the guy who's out there saying, oh word, you
- 22:22Speaker 1: want to you want to do?
- 22:22Speaker 2: Okay, come on out and see me. I want to
- 22:25Speaker 2: talk to you about it. Who's soft for real? The
- 22:27Speaker 2: guy who doesn't want to throw at me.
- 22:30Speaker 3: I'm getting thrown that probably sucks.
- 22:32Speaker 2: It sucks even when it's not on purpose.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
- 22:37Speaker 4: I just I like to see it. I like the animosity.
- 22:40Speaker 4: So how did you move from baseball into acting?
- 22:43Speaker 1: I took a drama course in college and the professor,
- 22:50Speaker 1: you know, he told me at the end of the course, hey,
- 22:52Speaker 1: you know you're pretty good at this. You might want
- 22:53Speaker 1: to consider doing this for a living. And I was
- 22:57Speaker 1: playing college baseball at the time. I'm like, nah, I'm
- 22:59Speaker 1: gonna be baseball player. So he's like, well, you know,
- 23:02Speaker 1: you never know. Put it in your back pocket. Maybe
- 23:04Speaker 1: after baseball or between seasons, if you get hurt or something,
- 23:08Speaker 1: maybe you never know.
- 23:09Speaker 2: And I was like, you know, that's true. I do
- 23:11Speaker 2: enjoy it, and.
- 23:14Speaker 1: It is something that I would love to do after baseball.
- 23:18Speaker 1: And then after baseball happened a little sooner than I
- 23:22Speaker 1: thought it was going to, so I transitioned, and I
- 23:25Speaker 1: probably I made a rash decision. When I got released
- 23:29Speaker 1: by Baltimore. I happened to be in Victorville at the time,
- 23:32Speaker 1: and Victorville was an hour and a half from here,
- 23:36Speaker 1: and I just had gotten tired of the politics and
- 23:41Speaker 1: I knew baseball, I mean, acting was something I wanted
- 23:44Speaker 1: to do. And it was like, LA's right there, LA's
- 23:46Speaker 1: right there. And I was getting calls from independent teams
- 23:50Speaker 1: and other teams saying, hey, we know you just got released,
- 23:53Speaker 1: we might have a spot for you. Are you're still
- 23:54Speaker 1: interested in it? And I was like, I don't know,
- 23:56Speaker 1: I don't know, And I just decided, you know, I've
- 23:59Speaker 1: said it before. I kept hearing it's time, it's time,
- 24:03Speaker 1: and I took that as God's voice telling me it's
- 24:05Speaker 1: time to get off that train transfer to the one
- 24:07Speaker 1: that would take me to sitting here with you today.
- 24:12Speaker 1: And so I just rented a car, threw all my
- 24:15Speaker 1: stuff in the car, called my college buddy and was like, hey,
- 24:17Speaker 1: you're still in l a right, and He's like, yeah,
- 24:19Speaker 1: I said, I'm gonna need your couch for a little
- 24:20Speaker 1: while until I can get on my feet. And he
- 24:23Speaker 1: was like, come on, damn, big shout Thomas where I'll
- 24:26Speaker 1: never forget it.
- 24:29Speaker 3: That's a that's a crazy way to move to LA
- 24:31Speaker 3: and start acting.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And people always ask me if they're like, so,
- 24:35Speaker 1: you said you did it because you were tired of
- 24:37Speaker 1: the politics.
- 24:38Speaker 2: So you got I was.
- 24:40Speaker 4: Going to.
- 24:43Speaker 2: The fire.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Yeah, But.
- 24:47Speaker 1: You know, ultimately it was the right decision. And I
- 24:52Speaker 1: still get to, like I said, I still coach, and
- 24:54Speaker 1: I still get to get my baseball fixed and get
- 24:57Speaker 1: back to the game. And uh, I've had players that
- 25:02Speaker 1: I've coached, you know, go to major colleges and things
- 25:05Speaker 1: like that. So it's satisfying and rewarding. And I really
- 25:12Speaker 1: think that it was the right thing to do at
- 25:14Speaker 1: the time. It got I mean, baseball got me a
- 25:16Speaker 1: lot of things in life. I met a lot of
- 25:18Speaker 1: people through baseball. I met a lot of connections, I
- 25:21Speaker 1: made a lot of business connections, and I had a
- 25:25Speaker 1: lot of experiences. So it taught me a lot of
- 25:27Speaker 1: life lessons. Most of the things that I go through
- 25:30Speaker 1: in life, most of the lessons or the philosophies that
- 25:34Speaker 1: I carry in life come from baseball, and I equate
- 25:37Speaker 1: a lot of things. And we'll probably have that tonight
- 25:41Speaker 1: happen where I will say, well, I equate this to baseball.
- 25:44Speaker 1: If you're doing X Y and Z, then x Y.
- 25:46Speaker 1: You know, so I baseball doesn't owe me anything. Had
- 25:52Speaker 1: a great time with it and it was extremely rewarding.
- 25:55Speaker 4: Well, and then you played a player in one of
- 25:59Speaker 4: the one of my favorite baseball movies and Moneyball.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Yeah, how was that experience for you?
- 26:06Speaker 4: And do you think that the movie watching the movie,
- 26:08Speaker 4: that it was accurate.
- 26:12Speaker 1: That's a good question. I loved the experience. First of all.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Let's let's let me start by saying this. David Justice,
- 26:21Speaker 1: when I was nineteen became eighteen nineteen became my idol.
- 26:27Speaker 2: I was at practice and one.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Of my teammates came and said, hey, you did you
- 26:31Speaker 1: watch the Braves game last night? And I was like,
- 26:33Speaker 1: why would I watch the Braves game? They were terrible
- 26:34Speaker 1: at the time. He said, we'll go home tonight and
- 26:36Speaker 1: watch it. It was so I went home and you know,
- 26:39Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, the batter or number twenty three right
- 26:41Speaker 1: field or David Justice and he walks up and I'm like,
- 26:44Speaker 1: holy shit, that dude.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Looks just like me. And so he hits a home
- 26:49Speaker 2: run and you know, he had a great game.
- 26:51Speaker 1: So I go back to practice. The next day, I'm like, coach,
- 26:53Speaker 1: I want to change my number. This is my guy.
- 26:55Speaker 1: You know. Team starts calling me Baby Justice. I go
- 26:59Speaker 1: to the Giants game when the Braves. I'm in the
- 27:03Speaker 1: Bay Area. I go to Giants game when the Braves
- 27:05Speaker 1: come to town, and I run, you know, go to
- 27:07Speaker 1: I grew up watching baseball games in stadium, so I
- 27:09Speaker 1: know how to go to BP and talk to the players.
- 27:12Speaker 1: So I go down to the fence and Dave Dave
- 27:14Speaker 1: when he's running off the field. He comes running. He's
- 27:16Speaker 1: like looking at me, like and I'm like, hey, man,
- 27:20Speaker 1: you know, you're my favorite player all my you know,
- 27:21Speaker 1: my teammates call me baby Justice to and he's just
- 27:23Speaker 1: looking at me. He's like, man, when I came over,
- 27:25Speaker 1: he was like I was looking in a mirror. So
- 27:29Speaker 1: he gives me some batting gloves. That next year, I
- 27:32Speaker 1: get a scholarship to U see Riverside, and I save
- 27:34Speaker 1: his gloves for Riverside. I go I have a twenty
- 27:38Speaker 1: two game hitting streak with his gloves written up in
- 27:41Speaker 1: Baseball America, the whole thing. Go back to the Giants
- 27:44Speaker 1: game and I say, Dave, hey, man, you know I
- 27:47Speaker 1: had a twenty two game hitting streak with your gloves.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Thank you so much. And he's like, all right on man.
- 27:52Speaker 1: The following spring, I sign with the Braves and I
- 27:57Speaker 1: go to spring training. I show up. I go to
- 27:59Speaker 1: the big league clubhouse and I'm like, Dave, what's up? Man?
- 28:02Speaker 3: You remember me?
- 28:03Speaker 1: He's like, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember you. But
- 28:06Speaker 1: are you supposed to be in here? How'd you get
- 28:09Speaker 1: in here because I'm in street clothes And I'm like,
- 28:11Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, I sign I'm.
- 28:13Speaker 2: With the organization. And he's like, oh, you really play.
- 28:16Speaker 1: And I was like, bro, I told you I had
- 28:18Speaker 1: a college twenty two game hitting streak with your gloves.
- 28:21Speaker 1: He's oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of people say shit,
- 28:22Speaker 1: but you really play. He put his arm around me, Hey,
- 28:27Speaker 1: this is my little brother. You treat him like you
- 28:30Speaker 1: would treat me. Takes me over to the minor league clubhouse,
- 28:33Speaker 1: to the clubby and says, hey, this is my little brother.
- 28:35Speaker 2: Make sure he gets all the best bats, all the
- 28:37Speaker 2: best everything.
- 28:38Speaker 1: So David and I have been very close friends for
- 28:42Speaker 1: thirty us plus years.
- 28:44Speaker 2: We call each other brothers. I call him big Bro,
- 28:47Speaker 2: he calls me Little Bro.
- 28:48Speaker 1: He's come to my house and spoken to my son
- 28:51Speaker 1: about baseball and how to navigate high school baseball.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Very very very close friends. So I say all I
- 29:00Speaker 2: had to say.
- 29:01Speaker 1: That the people that know about movie making would understand
- 29:07Speaker 1: that when we'd made Moneyball, we were not making a documentary.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Right, Okay, this was a movie.
- 29:13Speaker 1: And the people that know me would know that somebody
- 29:18Speaker 1: that I care about that much and that I'm that
- 29:20Speaker 1: close with, there's not a chance that I would shoot
- 29:24Speaker 1: a frame of that movie without consulting him. So when
- 29:30Speaker 1: I consulted him and I said, hey, this is what
- 29:32Speaker 1: they got going on. I think he might have read
- 29:33Speaker 1: a previous script, but I told him what was going on,
- 29:36Speaker 1: how much of this is real, how much of this
- 29:38Speaker 1: is embellished for Hollywood? And he said, oh, none of
- 29:40Speaker 1: that happened. I was like, okay, cool, right on. I
- 29:43Speaker 1: talked to Billy Bean while we were shooting, you know,
- 29:46Speaker 1: how was David, you know, doing my research? And he
- 29:49Speaker 1: was like, David was the first guy to get on
- 29:52Speaker 1: board with this, He was not a problem at all. This,
- 29:55Speaker 1: you know, this is embellished. So some of it is accurate.
- 30:00Speaker 1: The main story points of the players and the games
- 30:03Speaker 1: and the scores and the things like that are inaccurate,
- 30:05Speaker 1: I mean, are accurate. But some of it is embellished. Yes,
- 30:08Speaker 1: and it because we don't really know what happened in
- 30:12Speaker 1: those locker rooms. We have to make up a story.
- 30:16Speaker 1: They're also in a movie, there's always going to be
- 30:20Speaker 1: the hero's journey, which is the hero is established, then
- 30:23Speaker 1: there's conflict, and then there's resolution. We didn't and who
- 30:28Speaker 1: better to be the conflict than the superstar who's just
- 30:32Speaker 1: coming over from the Big Yankees and into a situation
- 30:36Speaker 1: where it looks like it would be beneath him. Right now,
- 30:40Speaker 1: all that to say, David is one of the nicest,
- 30:43Speaker 1: greatest guys on the planet. He is a consummate professional.
- 30:48Speaker 1: He would never be the guy that I played in Moneyball.
- 30:53Speaker 1: But in order to make the movie interesting in a
- 30:58Speaker 1: drama sense, there were things that had to be embellished,
- 31:01Speaker 1: and his character was one of those things. Not the
- 31:04Speaker 1: only one, or how didn't really look like that Peter
- 31:09Speaker 1: brand Jonah Hill's character, There's no such person as Peter
- 31:13Speaker 1: Brand That was a different executive whose name got changed.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Royce Clayton didn't who played Miguel to Hatta played against
- 31:23Speaker 1: Miguel to Hatta in the Big Leagues, and he was
- 31:25Speaker 1: playing him in the movie. So to the people who
- 31:30Speaker 1: have had a problem because I, you know, speaking to
- 31:32Speaker 1: Dave and seeing Dave do the interview on a different platform,
- 31:36Speaker 1: there's some people that are upset with how he was portrayed.
- 31:39Speaker 1: To them, I say, you know your guy, Yes, this
- 31:44Speaker 1: was not the way your guy was. David was the
- 31:47Speaker 1: the ultimate professional. Things were embellished. But I want to
- 31:54Speaker 1: defend the movie and say that we weren't making documentary
- 32:01Speaker 1: and we did speak about it, and I just I don't,
- 32:07Speaker 1: you know, I don't want him to ever feel any
- 32:10Speaker 1: kind of way because he knows how protective I am
- 32:12Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, and you know, and we talked about
- 32:15Speaker 1: it after that and he's like, bro, we don't have
- 32:17Speaker 1: any problem. We you know, you and I are always
- 32:20Speaker 1: going to be good for life. I just feel like
- 32:23Speaker 1: there may have been some people that have that spoke
- 32:25Speaker 1: to him, got in his ear and they didn't like
- 32:27Speaker 1: how he was portrayed.
- 32:28Speaker 2: So, David, if you're watching this. You know, I love you.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I just had to tell you know, I wanted to.
- 32:34Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked me that because I wanted to
- 32:35Speaker 1: get that off my chest, because I got like fifteen
- 32:37Speaker 1: or sixteen dms with that screenshot of the of the
- 32:41Speaker 1: area and I'm like, yeah, no, it's not like we
- 32:45Speaker 1: I could have told you that if you asked me
- 32:46Speaker 1: to my friends. Yeah, yeah, of course that.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it's a movie. Like it's to your point,
- 32:51Speaker 4: it's not a documentary. You have to make it watchable, right,
- 32:56Speaker 4: and things are going to be embellished, and it's that
- 33:00Speaker 4: must have been very Did you feel nervous playing someone
- 33:04Speaker 4: that you knew that I did?
- 33:05Speaker 2: I did.
- 33:05Speaker 1: And the thing about it is there's an arc in
- 33:08Speaker 1: his character. It's not just he's not just an asshole
- 33:11Speaker 1: the whole time. At the very beginning, he stand offish,
- 33:13Speaker 1: and then he becomes the leader they want him to be,
- 33:17Speaker 1: so there's a there's a great arc for him. It
- 33:20Speaker 1: was extremely nerve wracking to play him because I knew
- 33:22Speaker 1: him so well, and I knew his mannerisms and things
- 33:24Speaker 1: like that, so I knew I could get him down.
- 33:27Speaker 1: But I wanted to make sure that I did a
- 33:31Speaker 1: good job with you know, and he actually sat next
- 33:34Speaker 1: to me at the premiere. Him and his wife sat
- 33:37Speaker 1: next to me at the premiere.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Oh my god, I hadn't seen it.
- 33:42Speaker 1: What so I'm sitting there with you know, a close
- 33:45Speaker 1: close friend of mine, going, oh my goodness, I hope
- 33:48Speaker 1: I did a good job here.
- 33:49Speaker 2: I hope I did.
- 33:50Speaker 1: And it was over, and you know, they both gave
- 33:52Speaker 1: love and you know, so I walked away from that
- 33:56Speaker 1: feeling very very good about it. And it wasn't until
- 33:58Speaker 1: recently that I knew anything about any kind of problem
- 34:03Speaker 1: or issue with it. So I, like I said, I
- 34:06Speaker 1: you know, I don't think he had a problem with
- 34:08Speaker 1: the way I did it.
- 34:10Speaker 3: I just think that, well, you also didn't write the movie.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I didn't write the movie, you know what I mean.
- 34:16Speaker 1: That's that's what he understands.
- 34:17Speaker 4: But you know, and you it sounds like you kept
- 34:20Speaker 4: him in the loop about absolutely.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I would never do like I said, I would never
- 34:25Speaker 1: shoot even a frame of it without talking to him
- 34:28Speaker 1: about it, because I want to do my research and
- 34:30Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I know.
- 34:36Speaker 2: What I'm doing and whether or not.
- 34:39Speaker 1: It really happened, because if it really happened, I'm going
- 34:43Speaker 1: to ask him, what was your mindset in that moment?
- 34:46Speaker 4: Well, it's tricky, right, because that movie is about like
- 34:51Speaker 4: real people for the most part, like something that actually happened,
- 34:54Speaker 4: and not just a script that someone wrote about something
- 34:56Speaker 4: that you know has character types, but it isn't necessarily
- 35:00Speaker 4: about something that really happened.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Like it's a story.
- 35:03Speaker 4: This is a story, but it's about a story about
- 35:06Speaker 4: something that happened.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a historical event, and the events are played
- 35:10Speaker 1: out the way they happened in the baseball right on
- 35:13Speaker 1: the baseball field. I don't know how much of any
- 35:17Speaker 1: of the locker room stuff is true. You know, we
- 35:22Speaker 1: would never know that, right unless we got all the
- 35:24Speaker 1: players together and we're like, what kind of conversation?
- 35:26Speaker 3: Well, even then, people have.
- 35:32Speaker 4: Their own memories of how things went down, right, Like
- 35:35Speaker 4: I saw this therapist talking online about how like no
- 35:40Speaker 4: two kids have the same childhood, and like we can
- 35:44Speaker 4: all be in the same room and have a different
- 35:46Speaker 4: version of what happened in the room. Now, there's some
- 35:49Speaker 4: connective truth to it, but someone might have gotten their
- 35:52Speaker 4: feelings hurt and they walked away from it feeling a
- 35:54Speaker 4: little differently than the other person. Even like, oh, we
- 35:56Speaker 4: were having a great time, Like, yeah, you guys were
- 35:57Speaker 4: having a great time. I was getting teased, so I
- 36:00Speaker 4: didn't have a great time or I was laughing, but
- 36:02Speaker 4: I was really upset about what you guys were saying.
- 36:04Speaker 3: So even those those memories of.
- 36:06Speaker 4: The locker room experiences would be hard to capture that
- 36:09Speaker 4: far away from right from what happened.
- 36:11Speaker 2: You know. So that's what I'm saying.
- 36:14Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's a movie, and unfortunately not everybody
- 36:17Speaker 1: can be Ah the hero in every scene, you know,
- 36:24Speaker 1: But like I said, there was I felt there was
- 36:26Speaker 1: a really good arc for David, and.
- 36:30Speaker 2: He is absolutely right.
- 36:32Speaker 1: It was not accurate in the way his interactions with
- 36:38Speaker 1: certain people went down, and he told me that from
- 36:40Speaker 1: the beginning. Billy told me that I knew that, and
- 36:43Speaker 1: it was never an attempt to make it right, to
- 36:50Speaker 1: hide it from it.
- 36:51Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. Do you like playing villains?
- 36:54Speaker 2: I do? I do.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I like it because I'm I'm not tip of a villain.
- 37:02Speaker 3: So it allows you to express to exactly.
- 37:05Speaker 1: It allows me to allot to let my demons come
- 37:08Speaker 1: to the surface and live there for a minute instead
- 37:12Speaker 1: of constantly suppressing them.
- 37:16Speaker 3: Do you find it hard to get them to go
- 37:20Speaker 3: back away.
- 37:20Speaker 1: Yeah, that was you're on top of this shit, man. Yes,
- 37:26Speaker 1: until Death do Us Part, the film I did with
- 37:29Speaker 1: Annie Alonza and Tay Diggs. It took two weeks to
- 37:32Speaker 1: come out of that, and I was coaching Little League
- 37:36Speaker 1: at the time, so my team was like, they're nine
- 37:40Speaker 1: and ten year old kids.
- 37:41Speaker 2: They're like, what's wrong with coach man? He's on edge?
- 37:45Speaker 1: But yeah, it does because you, at least me. I
- 37:48Speaker 1: can't speak for every actor, but I commit, and like
- 37:54Speaker 1: the one I did Girl in the Garage recently, which
- 37:56Speaker 1: was the worst experience of my career as far as
- 38:00Speaker 1: living in that skin. I you know, I had to
- 38:04Speaker 1: tell people before we started shooting, you can't take anything personally.
- 38:10Speaker 1: I'm not going to be me when I get to set.
- 38:14Speaker 1: I have to go into a place where I have
- 38:16Speaker 1: to commit to it.
- 38:17Speaker 4: So you you really commit to the character while you're shooting.
- 38:21Speaker 1: While I'm shooting, now, I'm not method. I don't go
- 38:23Speaker 1: into it, you know. But for that role, it was
- 38:29Speaker 1: so dark and he was so.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Mean that it.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Would have been difficult for me to keep going back
- 38:39Speaker 1: and forth. So while I was on set, I stayed
- 38:43Speaker 1: to myself. I stayed in a dark place mentally, like
- 38:47Speaker 1: if I was in the trailer between scenes or whatever,
- 38:51Speaker 1: I was watching something dark on the phone, I was,
- 38:54Speaker 1: you know, I was doing things to keep myself in
- 38:57Speaker 1: that in that spirit.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Because.
- 39:03Speaker 1: Going back and forth between being cool and talking and
- 39:06Speaker 1: jovial and happy to then having to be really dark
- 39:11Speaker 1: and abusive, I don't think it would have rang true.
- 39:14Speaker 1: You know. I needed to really carry that weight the
- 39:17Speaker 1: whole time, and that one it didn't take as much
- 39:21Speaker 1: to come out of because I wanted out, you know
- 39:23Speaker 1: what I mean. I really didn't like it. And so
- 39:27Speaker 1: as soon as I wrapped my last scene, I took
- 39:31Speaker 1: off every stitch of clothing that I had, some of
- 39:34Speaker 1: which was my own, and I threw it in the garbage,
- 39:37Speaker 1: and I brought extra clothes with me because I knew
- 39:41Speaker 1: I was going to do that, and I didn't want
- 39:43Speaker 1: any of that energy to come with me out of
- 39:45Speaker 1: that trailer. So I prayed, I you know, I both
- 39:52Speaker 1: thanked and apologized to God for what had just happened,
- 39:58Speaker 1: and I prayed for him to give me the st
- 40:00Speaker 1: strength to release it all and never look back. And
- 40:04Speaker 1: I almost didn't watch it, but I had to watch
- 40:07Speaker 1: it because I think I had some press to do
- 40:09Speaker 1: and to you know, to talk about it. And yeah,
- 40:11Speaker 1: you know, but it was so, Yes, playing villains is cool,
- 40:17Speaker 1: playing that villain was not, But playing the villain in
- 40:21Speaker 1: Till Death it was part.
- 40:22Speaker 4: Was well, I guess there's a difference between a villain
- 40:25Speaker 4: and a bad guy, Like it sounds like the character
- 40:31Speaker 4: you were playing was legitimately bad, Like there are there
- 40:34Speaker 4: are villains that I think get painted as villains or
- 40:39Speaker 4: do villainous type things, yeah, or that don't allow you
- 40:42Speaker 4: to tap into the darkest, you know, content.
- 40:45Speaker 2: And that was Till Death was part.
- 40:47Speaker 1: It wasn't as like, first of all, Girl in the
- 40:50Speaker 1: Garage was a true story about a real person, so I.
- 40:54Speaker 3: Yeah, so that has to be extra energy.
- 40:55Speaker 2: Also Till Death it was part.
- 40:58Speaker 1: I created that character and was know he wasn't always
- 41:02Speaker 1: a bad guy in the In the he was a
- 41:05Speaker 1: very loving husband who just became obsessed in controlling and.
- 41:08Speaker 2: Abusive, you know what I mean. And and uh so
- 41:14Speaker 2: it was easier to play that role.
- 41:15Speaker 1: I mean it was. It wasn't easy because you know,
- 41:19Speaker 1: Annie would tell you if you sat with her between
- 41:21Speaker 1: every take, I was like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are
- 41:23Speaker 1: you okay, I'm sorry, but it was it was easier
- 41:26Speaker 1: because I knew it wasn't real, and it wasn't The
- 41:31Speaker 1: girl in the garage character was more difficult because of
- 41:35Speaker 1: the fact that there were kids involved in the abuse,
- 41:38Speaker 1: and being a dad and somebody who's worked with kids
- 41:41Speaker 1: for a long time, and being ah an ambassador for
- 41:45Speaker 1: Prevent Child Abuse America and an ambassador for Boys and
- 41:48Speaker 1: Girls Clubs of America, that was very difficult for me
- 41:53Speaker 1: to do be at all mean to children. At the
- 41:58Speaker 1: point where when we would the scenes, I would call
- 42:01Speaker 1: the kids over and I would have to I would
- 42:03Speaker 1: tell them, listen, you guys have to understand, this is
- 42:06Speaker 1: not real. This is not who I am, this is
- 42:09Speaker 1: not how I feel about you, okay, but we have
- 42:12Speaker 1: to pretend like it's real. Okay. So I need you
- 42:16Speaker 1: guys to help me, and really, you know, get into
- 42:19Speaker 1: it with me and just know that we're all having
- 42:21Speaker 1: a you know, we're making art here and it's you know,
- 42:25Speaker 1: we're all in it together, you know. So I try
- 42:29Speaker 1: to find a way to lighten it. But it was
- 42:32Speaker 1: still terrible.
- 42:33Speaker 4: That sounds crazy. I saw something from the IT movie.
- 42:39Speaker 4: I can't remember the actor's name that plays the clown.
- 42:41Speaker 4: But he was doing that basically with the kids, like
- 42:43Speaker 4: making sure that they were good before he steps into
- 42:46Speaker 4: this like super scary role. I mean working with working
- 42:50Speaker 4: with kids in that capacity must must have been nuts. Well,
- 42:53Speaker 4: you play a preacher just yeah, a much lighter transition
- 43:00Speaker 4: in this current film. Are you do you go to church?
- 43:04Speaker 4: Do you have like a background or that.
- 43:06Speaker 1: No, I don't. I'm not a religious man. I'm a
- 43:09Speaker 1: very spiritual man. I've got a strong relationship with God.
- 43:15Speaker 1: When I was I've told this story before. When I
- 43:17Speaker 1: was fifteen, I met God underneath a suburban.
- 43:22Speaker 2: I got hit by a part.
- 43:25Speaker 1: I was bent over in front of a suburban that
- 43:28Speaker 1: was parked, putting my ski boot back on the tree
- 43:32Speaker 1: that it had fallen off of while I was walking
- 43:34Speaker 1: to the lodge, and they didn't see me bent over
- 43:36Speaker 1: and they started driving.
- 43:37Speaker 3: You got hit by a car and I got.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Dragged underneath it and I for you know, thirty forty
- 43:43Speaker 1: feet and walked away from that without a scratch.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Skied that day.
- 43:48Speaker 1: They ambulance came, they checked me for shock, all that
- 43:51Speaker 1: nothing nothing. So my faith and belief in God is
- 43:56Speaker 1: strong and unshakable because I met God and I literally
- 44:02Speaker 1: don't have any need to have any further solidification of
- 44:08Speaker 1: my faith or belief. And my mom was raised in
- 44:13Speaker 1: Catholic schools, so she wanted to let me make my
- 44:16Speaker 1: own decisions on religion based on life experience.
- 44:19Speaker 2: And the decision that I made was.
- 44:22Speaker 1: That I didn't feel the need for religion in my life.
- 44:28Speaker 1: I started seeing through life experience that a lot of
- 44:32Speaker 1: the world's wars were started based on religion. So it
- 44:38Speaker 1: was kind of divisive, and at the same time, there
- 44:43Speaker 1: was a goodness to it where it seemed like they
- 44:46Speaker 1: were all different routes to the same destination.
- 44:51Speaker 2: And so I was like, well, if people are.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Going to church to find and solidify their faith because
- 44:58Speaker 1: maybe they're going through things, is that they need to
- 45:01Speaker 1: They need the Word, they need the fellowship, they need
- 45:05Speaker 1: those things to keep pushing. I don't begrudge them that,
- 45:10Speaker 1: but it's just not anything that I need in my life.
- 45:13Speaker 3: So for finding faith, how did you study?
- 45:18Speaker 1: A guy at my golf club is a pastor and
- 45:21Speaker 1: I see him all the time, and I will talk
- 45:23Speaker 1: to him about God. And you know what, certain things
- 45:25Speaker 1: that I had gone through or will be going through
- 45:28Speaker 1: in life, and he invited me to his church once
- 45:31Speaker 1: and I so I was like, you know, I'm not
- 45:34Speaker 1: church guy, but because you've invited me, I'll come.
- 45:37Speaker 2: And so, you know, I was watching him, not.
- 45:41Speaker 1: Because I ever thought I would play a pastor, but
- 45:43Speaker 1: because I wanted to see how he was different from
- 45:45Speaker 1: the guy I knew at the golf club when he
- 45:47Speaker 1: was on stage doing his thing, And so I paid
- 45:53Speaker 1: very close attention to him. And when I got this role,
- 45:56Speaker 1: I just went back in that memory bang and remembered
- 46:01Speaker 1: him and tone of his voice and you know, and
- 46:04Speaker 1: then I just made it my own. And like I said,
- 46:06Speaker 1: it helped being so close to God, being so in
- 46:10Speaker 1: tune and having conversations and really realizing, you know, the
- 46:15Speaker 1: awareness of God's presence. And when serendipity happens, I always
- 46:19Speaker 1: notice it and I always, you know, I'll talk to
- 46:21Speaker 1: God when it happens.
- 46:22Speaker 2: And I said this before.
- 46:24Speaker 1: God has a sense of humor, So when serendipity happens,
- 46:27Speaker 1: a lot of aha, I.
- 46:28Speaker 2: See you, you know what I mean.
- 46:30Speaker 1: So it just was easy for me to let that
- 46:35Speaker 1: pour out into the dialogue. My feeling, my love and
- 46:39Speaker 1: my my my my faith I'm looking for a different word.
- 46:46Speaker 1: But my connection, my trust, and my admiration. It was
- 46:53Speaker 1: easy for me to let that pour out into the character.
- 46:55Speaker 3: And you didn't have to check out of that.
- 46:56Speaker 1: I did not have to check out of that one.
- 46:58Speaker 1: That one was actually very pleasant to do, and I
- 47:02Speaker 1: enjoyed doing that every day, and I felt God's presence
- 47:09Speaker 1: while I was doing it. There was you know, the
- 47:13Speaker 1: sermons in the film, they changed them the day that
- 47:18Speaker 1: I was doing them. They changed them and so I
- 47:21Speaker 1: had to learn them again that day.
- 47:25Speaker 3: And did you do like a Cadence? Did you have
- 47:27Speaker 3: a preacher of Cadence?
- 47:29Speaker 1: I tried to Yeah, yeah, I know that.
- 47:33Speaker 4: No no, no, no, no no, yeah yeah.
- 47:36Speaker 1: And there's a there's an ethereal tone, you know, and
- 47:41Speaker 1: he because you're you're a you're a shepherd and you
- 47:43Speaker 1: know you're you're trying to have a softer uh.
- 47:48Speaker 4: But it's like it's also uh powerful powerful, it has
- 47:53Speaker 4: like a sing songs to it.
- 47:55Speaker 1: Yeah. I said in the film something like when I
- 48:01Speaker 1: was young and I was finding my way, I was
- 48:07Speaker 1: struggling and I said to God, God, I need you
- 48:09Speaker 1: to come down. I need your help. I don't know
- 48:11Speaker 1: how I'm going to get through this, you know that
- 48:13Speaker 1: kind of you know, so I just I just let
- 48:18Speaker 1: it flow. And from what people told me that, you know,
- 48:23Speaker 1: I did a good job.
- 48:24Speaker 3: So I was from just one trip to church.
- 48:26Speaker 2: Well, I had been to church, and I had watched
- 48:28Speaker 2: I had watched you know, I had been to church. Maybe,
- 48:32Speaker 2: let's see, I think.
- 48:33Speaker 1: I had gone to church three or four times throughout
- 48:36Speaker 1: my life.
- 48:37Speaker 4: That is crazy to me. I don't go to church,
- 48:40Speaker 4: but I grew up in a Baptist church where like
- 48:43Speaker 4: three days a week was light. Yeah, because it was
- 48:48Speaker 4: Sunday morning and Sunday night and then Wednesday night Bible
- 48:50Speaker 4: study and then there was usually like some other type
- 48:53Speaker 4: of thing throughout the weekend.
- 48:56Speaker 3: But yeah, it could be. It was anywhere from like
- 48:58Speaker 3: three to.
- 49:01Speaker 1: And I had been in funerals. I had gone to
- 49:03Speaker 1: church for funerals. Yeah, and I had seen pastors on television,
- 49:10Speaker 1: you know, so I had enough experience seeing it to
- 49:15Speaker 1: know how to create mind.
- 49:17Speaker 4: Well. Also to your point though, like if you have
- 49:18Speaker 4: a relationship with God, then you don't have to pretend
- 49:21Speaker 4: that at all. It's more about you know, capturing the
- 49:26Speaker 4: environment of church.
- 49:27Speaker 1: And what was crazy is that one of the sermons
- 49:31Speaker 1: that I did. The story that I told was my story.
- 49:35Speaker 1: It was an actual true story, So it was real.
- 49:39Speaker 1: I wasn't I wasn't acting there. I mean, I was acting,
- 49:42Speaker 1: but I wasn't reading a false testimony.
- 49:46Speaker 2: I was giving my real testimony.
- 49:48Speaker 1: And so yeah, it was not difficult at all to
- 49:53Speaker 1: get into the character and to let it.
- 49:58Speaker 4: How do you deal with ree That's a question I
- 50:01Speaker 4: get asked a lot by young people. And you, I mean,
- 50:06Speaker 4: just came to LA and made it happen from your
- 50:10Speaker 4: friend's couch. But a part of this business is rejection, absolutely,
- 50:17Speaker 4: So how do you.
- 50:18Speaker 3: Deal with that and process getting told?
- 50:22Speaker 2: Now here's our first baseball analogy.
- 50:26Speaker 3: Said it was coming.
- 50:28Speaker 2: Baseball is a game of failure.
- 50:30Speaker 1: Yes, if you are a hitter and you are great,
- 50:34Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, you're going to fail seventy percent
- 50:37Speaker 1: of the time. So you have to learn how to
- 50:42Speaker 1: find the victory in a perceived loss. If I hit
- 50:48Speaker 1: a line drive and the shortstop jumps up and snags it,
- 50:53Speaker 1: but I but I hammered it.
- 50:57Speaker 2: Who won that at bat?
- 50:59Speaker 1: Most people would say the picture because he got me out,
- 51:01Speaker 1: But I would say no, I did because the next
- 51:04Speaker 1: time I come up to the plate, who do you
- 51:06Speaker 1: think has more confidence the guy who just leaned on
- 51:11Speaker 1: something or the guy who just heard the loudest sound
- 51:14Speaker 1: of the night come off of one of his pitches.
- 51:18Speaker 1: I won that. So in acting, I find the victory
- 51:23Speaker 1: in the perceived loss by saying when I audition, as
- 51:27Speaker 1: long as I did my best work in the room,
- 51:30Speaker 1: I win, and I let it go. And if it
- 51:34Speaker 1: comes back and I get the job, oh that's that's
- 51:37Speaker 1: gravy on top of it. But I'm just going to
- 51:40Speaker 1: do what I can to make sure that my spirit
- 51:42Speaker 1: feels like I win. And so I don't even really
- 51:46Speaker 1: consider it rejection. I just consider there's been a few
- 51:50Speaker 1: that I really wanted that I didn't get, But I
- 51:54Speaker 1: don't as long as I did the work right, as
- 51:57Speaker 1: long as I felt when I left that I that
- 51:59Speaker 1: I did what I wanted to do, then I can
- 52:02Speaker 1: I can live with whatever happened.
- 52:04Speaker 3: That's a great mentality to have. I mean, I think that.
- 52:08Speaker 4: The way that I look at it rejection is that
- 52:10Speaker 4: it just wasn't meant for you. Like there's just been
- 52:14Speaker 4: times in my career where I really wanted something and
- 52:16Speaker 4: now looking back on it, if I got it. It
- 52:18Speaker 4: would have changed the course of my life. Yeah, And
- 52:22Speaker 4: at the time I was really pissed about it. But
- 52:25Speaker 4: and it was definitely rejection. But it just wasn't meant
- 52:28Speaker 4: for me. And and it's very like all these things
- 52:30Speaker 4: are kind of cliches, but what's meant for you is
- 52:34Speaker 4: just meant for you. Like, you can still want things,
- 52:37Speaker 4: you can still think some things, right, you can still
- 52:39Speaker 4: be disappointed. But it is important when you're in an
- 52:42Speaker 4: industry that is kind of built around rejection and choice
- 52:45Speaker 4: that is in a lot of ways out of your
- 52:47Speaker 4: control because you could have done your best work. But
- 52:50Speaker 4: you know, the casting directors like, no, I like this guy,
- 52:52Speaker 4: like I've worked with them before and he's a friend
- 52:54Speaker 4: of mine, and that's it. Yeah, so you have to
- 52:59Speaker 4: it to be kind to yourself then that way, all right,
- 53:02Speaker 4: I want to get to these these rapid fire questions
- 53:06Speaker 4: real quick. I don't know the ones that you have
- 53:07Speaker 4: for me. Should we trade off? Yeah, let's trade off.
- 53:12Speaker 4: Let's trade questions we have We haven't done that that
- 53:15Speaker 4: way yet. Okay, someone you would love to share the
- 53:17Speaker 4: screen with.
- 53:21Speaker 2: Wow, Am I supposed to go rapid fire? Or can
- 53:23Speaker 2: I think about it?
- 53:24Speaker 3: We'll give you a couple of seconds. There's unwritten rule.
- 53:27Speaker 3: It's rapid fire.
- 53:28Speaker 1: But but you don't.
- 53:30Speaker 2: You don't abide by unwritten rules.
- 53:31Speaker 4: I'm trying to be respectful of my guests, like you, like.
- 53:36Speaker 2: Who would it be?
- 53:37Speaker 1: Now, that's a tough one because I've shared the screen
- 53:41Speaker 1: with all of the people that I really wanted to.
- 53:45Speaker 1: But Tom Hardy, Oh, okay, Tom Hardy.
- 53:53Speaker 2: He's he's a beast.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Yeah, he's great.
- 53:56Speaker 1: And I think that he and I if we could
- 53:57Speaker 1: do something together, we I think we would we would
- 54:01Speaker 1: make magic.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Okay, we'll manifest that. Tom Hardy, all right?
- 54:04Speaker 1: T Uh.
- 54:06Speaker 2: What is the last film that made you cry?
- 54:11Speaker 3: Cry? I don't know. I don't know. I don't remember
- 54:19Speaker 3: the last No, I don't remember the last time I cried.
- 54:24Speaker 4: I mean, i've privacy now with Lion, I've cried.
- 54:28Speaker 3: I've cried in my life. I don't know.
- 54:31Speaker 4: I can't, I cannot think of I'm trying to think of,
- 54:35Speaker 4: like the movies that I've seen late.
- 54:36Speaker 2: Did you did you see the Bob Marley movie?
- 54:39Speaker 3: I did?
- 54:39Speaker 2: Did you cry?
- 54:40Speaker 4: No?
- 54:41Speaker 1: I did?
- 54:42Speaker 3: What part?
- 54:43Speaker 2: I cried a lot throughout that movie.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Actually, I'm a huge Bob Marley fan me too, and
- 54:49Speaker 1: my like my daughter and I. When my daughter was
- 54:53Speaker 1: first born, you know, there was you know, the crying
- 54:56Speaker 1: right at the beginning, and we couldn't get her to
- 54:57Speaker 1: stop crying. So I started singing through little words to
- 55:00Speaker 1: her and she stopped. So that became this is like
- 55:04Speaker 1: she's a week old. Yeah, So that became my go
- 55:08Speaker 1: to when she would cry or when I would sing
- 55:11Speaker 1: that to her, and then we'd go on walks into
- 55:13Speaker 1: the stroller, I'd put my phone in and play Bob Marley.
- 55:16Speaker 1: We still sing Bob Marley together and all that. So
- 55:19Speaker 1: throughout my you know, since I was a kid, Bob
- 55:22Speaker 1: Marley was a somebody that was a theme in my life.
- 55:26Speaker 1: And so when I watched it, and I watched even
- 55:29Speaker 1: at the very beginning of the movie, I cried, you
- 55:31Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 55:31Speaker 2: It was crazy. I'm not at all.
- 55:35Speaker 1: My daughter asked me, you know last year at Daddy,
- 55:37Speaker 1: how come I've never seen you cry? You know? And
- 55:40Speaker 1: I'm not really a crier, but that movie, knowing what
- 55:44Speaker 1: he was about and the fact that I was watching it,
- 55:49Speaker 1: it really hit me.
- 55:51Speaker 3: I maybe King Richard, that's kind of a long time ago,
- 55:55Speaker 3: but great movie though, yeah, maybe.
- 55:57Speaker 4: King Richard twenty twenty five World Series winner.
- 56:04Speaker 1: Mmm.
- 56:09Speaker 2: Uh, I think it's.
- 56:17Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers are gonna have to be beat,
- 56:20Speaker 1: you know.
- 56:20Speaker 3: I mean, it's so hard not to say the Dodgers.
- 56:22Speaker 2: It's hard not to say the Dodgers. I'm looking.
- 56:24Speaker 1: I'm trying to be you know, edgy, edgy and find
- 56:27Speaker 1: somebody that I can think that can beat them.
- 56:29Speaker 2: But they're gonna have to be beat.
- 56:32Speaker 1: They're just yeah, they're stacked, and they just they play
- 56:37Speaker 1: the game right, and you know, it's just they're one
- 56:40Speaker 1: of those juggernauts right now that I don't know that
- 56:42Speaker 1: you can really in a seven game series that you
- 56:45Speaker 1: can really hope to come out of it on top.
- 56:47Speaker 3: Yeah, are you're true?
- 56:50Speaker 2: M What is your biggest irrational fear?
- 56:55Speaker 3: Biggest irrational fear? I have like a little touch of OCD.
- 57:01Speaker 3: I think.
- 57:02Speaker 4: So when I leave my house, they've seen me do
- 57:05Speaker 4: this too, and I leave the office, like I'll see
- 57:07Speaker 4: that they have locked the door, and I'll still walk over.
- 57:09Speaker 3: Like I just make sure that it's locked. I do
- 57:13Speaker 3: that all the.
- 57:13Speaker 4: Time, and I do it at home too, Like I
- 57:15Speaker 4: know if my door shuts, it's locked, Like if the
- 57:17Speaker 4: door shut.
- 57:18Speaker 3: It is now locked, and I still have to check it.
- 57:20Speaker 2: On the way in here.
- 57:21Speaker 1: Haley let me in in the front door, and right
- 57:23Speaker 1: we were about to walk, I said, you know what,

- 57:35Speaker 1: Mm, this meal in Los Angeles, that's a that's a
- 57:46Speaker 1: big question.
- 57:47Speaker 4: I don't know if I can give mine because I
- 57:48Speaker 4: don't want to give away my spot. Everyone's gonna start
- 57:53Speaker 4: going there and no, you know, I'm gonna go keep
- 57:58Speaker 4: this one.
- 57:58Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna.
- 58:00Speaker 1: I don't know that it's the best in Los Angeles,
- 58:03Speaker 1: but it's one of my favorites.
- 58:05Speaker 2: Is Coli'S Jamaican food?
- 58:07Speaker 3: Okay?
- 58:11Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know.
- 58:13Speaker 1: Like I said, there's a lot out here that and
- 58:15Speaker 1: I've been here for a long time, so I've had
- 58:17Speaker 1: a lot of good food here.
- 58:18Speaker 3: But how many years have you been in Los Angeles?
- 58:20Speaker 1: I got here in ninety seven, so almost thirty. Yeah,
- 58:27Speaker 1: that's solid almost as long as you've been alive.
- 58:29Speaker 4: That's very kind. But I'm a little old in thirty. Oh,
- 58:33Speaker 4: your turin.
- 58:37Speaker 2: A habit that keeps you productive.
- 58:41Speaker 4: A habit that keeps me productive is I'm going to
- 58:46Speaker 4: always prioritize sleep like I gotta get sleep.
- 58:50Speaker 3: I can't function if I am tired.
- 58:53Speaker 1: How many hours of sleep you get a night?
- 58:55Speaker 4: I like to get like eight hours of sleep? Do
- 58:57Speaker 4: you sometimes most of the time good sleeper.
- 59:01Speaker 1: I've been struggling lately to get more than six even
- 59:05Speaker 1: when I can. For some reason, I will wake up
- 59:09Speaker 1: no matter what time I go to sleep, I'm gonna.
- 59:12Speaker 2: Wake up at six thirty seven.
- 59:13Speaker 1: And it's terrible because I used to be And you
- 59:16Speaker 1: know what I think it is. I think that the
- 59:18Speaker 1: light coming into my room in the morning is doing it.
- 59:21Speaker 1: So I've been thinking about getting blackout curtains because the
- 59:24Speaker 1: last time it was dangerous, and yeah, it'll have you sleeping.
- 59:28Speaker 4: It's a choice, don't. I purposely don't get them because
- 59:31Speaker 4: I'm I can sleep regardless because I know if I
- 59:33Speaker 4: have blackout shades, I'm never gonna know what time day
- 59:35Speaker 4: it is, and I'm cooked.
- 59:35Speaker 1: The last time I was in New York filming, I
- 59:38Speaker 1: had no uh the apartment I stayed in the bedroom
- 59:43Speaker 1: was in the back and had no windows, so I
- 59:46Speaker 1: was sleeping eleven twelve hours a day when I had
- 59:49Speaker 1: days off, and it was it was glorious. It was
- 59:52Speaker 1: like and I got so it was for Run the
- 59:55Speaker 1: World where I was working out because I had to
- 59:57Speaker 1: be basically not basically absolutely naked on TV. And so
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I got so shredded and I was like, why am
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: I getting so lean? And then I learned that sleep
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: if you're not getting set at least seven hours.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: But the you know eight.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Ideally you're gonna you're losing gains and you're losing fat burning,
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: like your your recovery and the gains and the fat burn.
- 1:00:23Speaker 4: Yeah, the recovery part is the thing that people don't
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: pay attention to. It's like, you you can work out,
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: you can do all the right things, but if your
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: body is not recovering, and you know this from being
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: an athlete, like you're not gonna you're not going to
- 1:00:34Speaker 4: be getting the most benefits out of everything that you did.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: Wait a minute, so you were naked on screen?
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not just like a few times.
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: Over that, I mean, what was that like? It was
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: like the first time.
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Uh, the first time was in being Mary Jane and
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: it was.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: Did you have to wear the sock thing. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: you always wear the sock thing.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, you always wear the sock thing. You don't.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm a bit of a free spirit, so
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: it wasn't really a thing for me.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, and I've been working out, so
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, is it.
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: Because you've been in the locker room for as long
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: as you have?
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Maybe? Maybe? But I think I just am comfortable with
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: physicality and my you know, I'm comfortable with sexuality and
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not afraid to be as long as
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: I'm camera ready. You know, I worked this hard to
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: do it. Let's go ahead and knock it out. I mean,
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of it.
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: You weren't nervous at all.
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: No, The only thing I was most nervous about was
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: making sure that whichever actress I was working with felt comfortable.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: And that was there my OCD started to kick in there,
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: you know, any perceived discomfort.
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: I was like, stop, I don't think she's comfortable, you
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: know what I mean?
- 1:01:57Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: And but I was Again, I wasn't nervous because I
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: knew what kind of shape I was in, you know
- 1:02:06Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And when you once and I say
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: this about people ask me about acting and they say,
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: do you get nervous? And I say, well, I've hit
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: in front of twenty five thousand people with the game
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: on the line and won the game. Once you do that,
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: once you bust through that threshold, there's no more nerve.
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: Well for me, I think, what, I'm not nervous if
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: I'm prepared. So like to your point about you know,
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: like what you look like that you've prepared for this
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: scene right then? I mean, I still think some people
- 1:02:35Speaker 4: would be nervous to be naked in front of a
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: bunch of people.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: But well, that's the other thing they don't when you're
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: doing those scenes, there's very few people in the room.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: Oh, they limit the amount of people on side.
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: Then they make sure that all the crew and everybody
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: is out. They have the director and only the essentials
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: will be in the room during a love scene like that,
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: at least in my experience.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: And they have like the intimacy coordinator, have.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Intimacy coordinators, so it's all choreographed.
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: You know, we have a rehearsal.
- 1:03:07Speaker 3: Is it ever awkward?
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: There's been times where it was awkward where you have
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: to the scene calls for a bit of aggression and
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: you don't really much.
- 1:03:26Speaker 3: You sort through how you're going to answer.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: You know, the little enthusiastic sex happening, and you don't
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: really you don't really fuck with the person like that, you.
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: Know what I mean, And you don't.
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: So you're really acting.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: You're really acting, and you know you're it's like you don't.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: There's there's that and and the fact that you don't
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: want them to think that because you're committed to your role,
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: that you're trying to, yeah, do anything with them, like
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean, It's like, yo, you know,
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: don't get any ideas. I'm just doing this because it's
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: on the page, you know. So it can be it
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: can be awkward, it can be awkward if if but
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: you know, I've been fortunate that I've I've worked with
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: people who I was able to talk to and we
- 1:04:15Speaker 1: were able to have a respect and an easy, fun, professional,
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: light relationships so that when we had to go there,
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: it was like, all right, I'll see you on the
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: other side. And that was that.
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: Most Wait is it your turn?
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: This is a good one. What is your underrated travel destination?
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: Underrated? I don't know.
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: I feel like all the places that I like are
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: pretty solidly rated. Somewhere I like to know that people
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: don't really like to go. I love New Orleans. New
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: Orleans is a place that isn't necessarily for everybody. I
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: also like Vegas for one night, preferably less than twenty
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: four hours is ideal.
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: Anything more than that and I'm probably not coming home.
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: But New Orleans I really love because the food, the culture,
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: the energy, the history, and I love live music. So
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: I really like New Orleans. But New Orleans is not
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: something a place that everybody really loves.
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: Have you been to Kawhi Kawhi?
- 1:05:24Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: That's my.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: Is that underrated?
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Most people don't know about it, not knowing about it,
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: and so they don't They're not like, oh I'm gonna
- 1:05:33Speaker 1: go to I'm gonna go to Hawaii.
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: I'm going to Kawai Now.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: They're you know, yeah Maui. Yeah.
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: So it for me, it's extremely underrated because I had
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: the greatest time of my life there and that's my
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: favorite spot on the on the globe.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: Really yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: I think I travel a lot, so I every time
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: I'm like that person like this is my favorite. But
- 1:05:56Speaker 4: Hawaii is beautiful though, like it's it's completely understandable.
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: When I went, I was shooting Lost and a buddy
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: of mine named Francis, who was Peter Berg's bodyguard and driver.
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: I did a lot of films with Pete at the
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: beginning of my career, so I got to and we
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: were friends, so I was always an driving to set
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: with him. And you know, Francis lived on Kawhi and
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: I called him and I was like, hey, I just
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: got done shooting Loss. You should come over to Oahu
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: and hang out for a couple of days and you know,
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: let's hang out. And he was like, no, no, no, no,
- 1:06:27Speaker 1: you come here.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: He's like, you'll.
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: Spend less on the round trip flight from a Wahu
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: to Hear than you will on one night at the hotel.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: I said, okay, I can stay with you.
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: He's like, of course, And I said, okay, I'll come,
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: but I got some conditions. I have to drink coconut
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: water out of a coconut that I crack. I have
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: to eat sugar cane off of a cane that I
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: chop out.
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Of the field.
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: And I have to eat sushi off of a fish
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: that I catch. And he was like, we can do
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: that and all of that in the first day, and
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: we did, and I was just I mean, I'm your
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: adventure guy, a nature guy. Yeah, you know, I'm I
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: and I you know, I have pictures with myself holding
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: fifty pound tunas and you know I'm.
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: Like that you is that your dating profile pictures?
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: Man?
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: Yeah, dating profile.
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like you have some regular headshots.
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: I did see a good explanation for the fish pictures though,
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: because most straight men do not have friends that are
- 1:07:29Speaker 4: going to take pictures for them, like by themselves. There's
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: usually group pictures like how often are you with like
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: your boys? And you're like, hey, man, like take a
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: pictures fit as fired never You're never doing that, whereas
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: I am getting a picture every fucking time I go anywhere.
- 1:07:44Speaker 3: I'm getting fifteen of them.
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: The best you're gonna get out of me is an
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: elevator picture.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: Like elevator picture, there's a mirror.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Oh you're getting like this looks ud of dope, so
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: I'll click it.
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: But yeah, so like those are the only pictures they
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: have by themselves. I'm holding the fish, yeah, or you.
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: Know in a golf post, yes, you know, after hitting
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: a golf ball.
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: I will have it.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: I will have him take that picture.
- 1:08:10Speaker 1: I'm an ambassador for Travis Matthews, so a lot of
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: times I'm like, hey, take this shot so I can
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: post it and do that.
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: Hold on, let's rewind.
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: You said you feel like I have regular headshots on
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: dating profile pictures.
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: First of all, I've never been on any dating site
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: in my life. But why would I use a headshot because.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: It's a gum shirt, it's a good picture. What picture
- 1:08:29Speaker 3: would you use if you were on it? I wouldn't
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: use one.
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: In some parallel universe where you decided to go on
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: a dating profile page, what you Why wouldn't you use
- 1:08:38Speaker 4: the best picture that you have?
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: I would, But I wouldn't use a headshot because that
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: looks staged.
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: I would.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: I would use the best candid shot that I had
- 1:08:48Speaker 1: of myself.
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: So you'd really want to present as as who I
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: am authentic?
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't want to be like, oh, look what
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: I look like when they photo shot me and it's
- 1:08:55Speaker 1: just got the perfect lighting and angle. No, this is
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: this is who I am. The scars and everything that's good.
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: You No, I like me, you know, I like the
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: real person.
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: That I am.
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but like it's not crazy that you wouldn't
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: you would use your the best picture of you.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: The best real one. Yes, yeah, yeah, the best real one,
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: the best.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: I'm saying, I don't think that's I don't think that
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: would be corny if you did that. Yeah, it's corney.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: I think it would be.
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: It's getna catfish.
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: I mean, you're.
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: You're pupa pict I mean, is headshot shown be that
- 1:09:33Speaker 4: far off from what he looks like? Oh?
- 1:09:38Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair, that's true. That's a good point, you know.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: And plus it's it's it's like, did you get kind
- 1:09:42Speaker 1: of like you're trying really hard, like you're putting a
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: professional picture?
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Why not go to glamour shots and get that?
- 1:09:48Speaker 3: I mean you are.
- 1:09:49Speaker 4: You should be trying hard, well, you should. Enough men
- 1:09:52Speaker 4: are trying hard, then need to try harder. That's that's
- 1:09:56Speaker 4: my takeaway from that. I'm using the best picture ever.
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: If I'm I have a dating profile, it's not good.
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: It's not going to be difficult though, for you to
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: find a great picture. I mean, you don't need to
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: try hard anymore than I need to try hard. You
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: just need to just be you, and people are gonna
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: flock as. I've watched your show and I hear about
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: your your dms.
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: The jams are a nightmare. You know you never want
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: to look in there. I'll change your whole perspective on society.
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: Some of some of the greatest players and uh performers
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: do it effortlessly. You know you don't need to try harder,
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: you know, try easier.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 1:10:37Speaker 4: I still stand by men need to try harder. You're
- 1:10:39Speaker 4: not backing me off of that.
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: Men need to try harder. And we've got to get
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: rid of the unwritten rules.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: You're the one that said you are salant.
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very schalanty.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: You were saying, don't be nonchalant.
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: I'm chalan.
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: Nonchalant's awful. Who wants nonchalant? Passive aggressive? Everything's fine?
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: Aggressive is the worst. I'm not passive aggressive. I'm aggressive aggressive.
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: You know, if I got a problem, you're gonna know,
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: and we're gonna get We're.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: Going to get to the boy.
- 1:11:05Speaker 3: But do you know what I'm saying, like nonchalant is whack?
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I could see that. I could see that.
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: I mean you need to be stressed out about me
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: a little bit. Yeah, yeah, why what else are you
- 1:11:20Speaker 4: supposed to be everything's cool, Like I don't call you
- 1:11:22Speaker 4: and it's just cool.
- 1:11:23Speaker 3: That's fine.
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: No, but I shouldn't need to be stressed out.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: Stress is stressed out is a relative storm. I'm not saying, like,
- 1:11:30Speaker 4: I'm not talking about toxicity.
- 1:11:31Speaker 2: How about attentive?
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: Yes, just don't be nonchalant, That's all I'm asking.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if I find somebody that tells me that
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: they're coming at you, I'm going to tell them.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Hey, don't be you do not be nonchalant.
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: No, bring back, bring back yearning, longing, longing, Yes, recording.
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: Yes, where are the poems?
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: The poems?
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: Where are the poems? Where is what I'm saying?
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: Like, you gotta be just serve like a little bit
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: of anxiety, like give you.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: But the butterflies and all. Yeah, and then what do
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: you do?
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: I mean, that's just effortlessly be me? Right? Doesn't that
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: what you say?
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: You don't think that men need to feel?
- 1:12:16Speaker 1: Now?
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: I am very very attentive with men and very kind
- 1:12:20Speaker 4: and very sweet and give them all the attention that
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: they deserve. So if they are nonchalant, they're getting nonchalant joy.
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think that would be fun.
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: Nonchalant joy. Yeah, no, not very fun, not very fun.
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: You seem like from watching you on your shows and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: on your podcast, you seem like a very laid back person.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: So I think nonchalant joy would be really easy to
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: bring out if you're not stepping to the plate.
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: Problem You think I seem laid back?
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't.
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: The way your voice, your tone, or your voice you
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: you you know, obviously you go hard sometimes, don't get
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: me wrong.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: I mean I've seen some of the segment.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: I like what you do on sports TV, by the way,
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: you think it's very knowledgeable about what you're talking about,
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: and you're you know, you you've got good insight and
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: you go into detail and all that.
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: But just you have a.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: Very matter of fact delivery a lot of times, and
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: it seems very laid back, very calm, and it seems
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: like if if you come with monotone energy in your direction,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: that you're just gonna get monotone energy. Yeah.
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: I know, I'm a big energy matcher, Like, I'm not
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: going to pour different energy into someone that's not pouring
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: it back into me.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: Across the board?
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Are you not typically just laid back and chill? Are
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: you hyper?
- 1:13:40Speaker 3: Ah? No, I'm not hyper.
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: I would definitely not describe myself as hyper. But I
- 1:13:44Speaker 4: would like to end the propaganda that I'm cool.
- 1:13:46Speaker 3: I'm not cool. I'm very mean. Why, I'm very very impatient.
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: So why are you mean?
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: I don't don't. I want to end this this. Please
- 1:13:58Speaker 4: stop treating me like I'm cool. I'm not fucking cool.
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: You're coolest ship.
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: Now I'm not going with you to me because you
- 1:14:05Speaker 3: have to be.
- 1:14:07Speaker 1: Now.
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: I am cool, but the people are taking advantage of
- 1:14:09Speaker 4: my coolness.
- 1:14:10Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a that's a problem.
- 1:14:12Speaker 4: So that's why I'm saying, and the and the propaganda
- 1:14:15Speaker 4: about it.

- 1:16:14Speaker 4: this week's question is how do I get over the
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: fear of rejection?
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: So this is an interesting one. I think that.
- 1:16:24Speaker 4: Rejection is something that can be very daunting for people,
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: and it can feel very personal, and in some cases
- 1:16:32Speaker 4: it is personal. But rejection is something that every person
- 1:16:39Speaker 4: on the planet deals with. Now, obviously some people deal
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: with it less than others, but it is a common
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: experience for everyone. Everyone has to find a way to
- 1:16:48Speaker 4: deal with rejection. For me, I think I can textualize
- 1:16:53Speaker 4: the rejection in a way that can make sense, in
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: a way that I can grieve the thing that is
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: rejecting me properly. So, for example, if I don't get
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: a job or a show, or you know, some sort
- 1:17:08Speaker 4: of professional experience that I am looking to get or
- 1:17:10Speaker 4: hoping to get, and I get rejected for it.
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: It can still be upsetting. It can still.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Feel like it's you and there's something that you need
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: to be better at, or there's something that you did wrong,
- 1:17:21Speaker 4: and sometimes it might mean that you need to be
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: better at it, and sometimes it might mean nothing at all,
- 1:17:26Speaker 4: like you have nothing to do with you. You just have
- 1:17:28Speaker 4: to find a healthy practice to deal with it. And
- 1:17:34Speaker 4: I think it's okay to grieve something that has rejected you,
- 1:17:37Speaker 4: whether it's a person or a relationship, a friendship, a job,
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: any of those things. It's okay to be upset about
- 1:17:45Speaker 4: the rejection, but it's not okay for it to internalize
- 1:17:47Speaker 4: into bitterness. And it's not okay for you to have
- 1:17:50Speaker 4: in you know, over the top or unnecessary or spiteful,
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: hateful or toxic reaction to that rejection. Because everyone one
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: is going to get rejected for something at some point
- 1:18:03Speaker 4: in their life.
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: Getting over the fear.
- 1:18:06Speaker 4: Of it is a process, and it includes you putting
- 1:18:10Speaker 4: yourself out there to get rejected. My biggest point I
- 1:18:14Speaker 4: would say is to try not to take everything so personal.
- 1:18:17Speaker 4: Try to find the thing that you can improve on,
- 1:18:20Speaker 4: and try to focus on the things that haven't rejected
- 1:18:23Speaker 4: you and the things that are in your life that
- 1:18:24Speaker 4: are positive, so that you don't become bitter about the rejection.
- 1:18:29Speaker 4: But that's a very good question, and thanks for sending
- 1:18:31Speaker 4: it in. If you want to be a part of
