- 0:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:47Speaker 1: So look I saw your son, Nathan and his performance
- 0:51Speaker 1: in that Charlie Brown play last weekend. Yeah, she was adorable,
- 0:56Speaker 1: he was and he was actually incredible on age.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, thank you. Yes, he worked so hard
- 1:03Speaker 2: and he like it's just passing. He loved it. Since
- 1:05Speaker 2: he was literally he's been like in classes and oh.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet he was doing little musical numbers in
- 1:10Speaker 1: the womb. Even that was funny. You can use that,
- 1:17Speaker 1: just tell people that he's doing it.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Oh thanks, yeah, okay.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Well, and the reason I'm calling is I just have
- 1:23Speaker 1: to say. I come across a lot of young talent
- 1:25Speaker 1: all over the country, and I work with a lot
- 1:28Speaker 1: of different companies, and I think we may actually have
- 1:31Speaker 1: an acting job that would pay Nathan over one thousand dollars.
- 1:36Speaker 2: What, oh my god.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually for the local charity blood drive.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Oh. I think he's too little to give blood, isn't he.
- 1:45Speaker 1: Well, no, he doesn't have to give any blood. It's
- 1:47Speaker 1: just we're kicking off this big push to get people
- 1:50Speaker 1: to donate themselves. So Nathan just needs to stand outside
- 1:54Speaker 1: of the van, looking sickly and shout I need your blood,
- 2:00Speaker 1: you know, in a little hospital.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Gain you you want him to stand in front.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Of what, just stand in front of the donation van,
- 2:07Speaker 1: kind of looking sick, walking around, maybe with a little
- 2:10Speaker 1: limp in his leg, so people feel bad for him
- 2:14Speaker 1: and are motivated to donate.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Mister suggested us for this.
- 2:19Speaker 1: He didn't know exactly what the job was. I just
- 2:22Speaker 1: asked if I could get your number from him, And look,
- 2:26Speaker 1: if you're worried about how Nathan's gonna appear, We're gonna
- 2:29Speaker 1: put makeup on him to make sure he comes across
- 2:32Speaker 1: more pale. I don't, you know, really sell it. We'll
- 2:34Speaker 1: give him one of those ivy drip bags too, to
- 2:36Speaker 1: walk around with like he's not doing very well.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I mean, I know how important blood donation is. I
- 2:42Speaker 2: donate myself, but I don't know. Is there like something else?
- 2:46Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there is going to be something else, because
- 2:48Speaker 1: that's just the first weekend. The second weekend, we're gonna
- 2:51Speaker 1: put little Nathan in an actual hospital bed out on
- 2:54Speaker 1: the sidewalk with a big sign that says this child
- 2:57Speaker 1: needs blood. You can just say his eyes closed for it.
- 3:01Speaker 1: We'll have that machine next to him that goes, you know, beep,
- 3:04Speaker 1: just you know, really sell it.
- 3:06Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know. I don't know.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Okay, we're really just trying to pull up people's heartstrings
- 3:12Speaker 1: with it.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but the thing is that it's awful and it's
- 3:15Speaker 2: a lie, and I don't want to know.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Okay, I hear what you're saying. But if you think
- 3:19Speaker 1: about it, all acting jobs are lies.
- 3:21Speaker 2: I mean, but you're not hurting anybody. Okay.
- 3:23Speaker 1: It sounds like you're on the fence, but maybe this
- 3:25Speaker 1: would change your mind. You know, Macaulay Culkin, Big child start.
- 3:30Speaker 1: So he actually got his first big break in an
- 3:33Speaker 1: ad for jaundice medication and he didn't have jaundice. They
- 3:37Speaker 1: had to spray paint his cheeks yellow. And then the
- 3:40Speaker 1: next thing, you know, after that commercial, Boom Home Alone
- 3:43Speaker 1: three gives him a fifty million dollar pay check. So,
- 3:48Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is gonna be a really
- 3:49Speaker 1: good chance for Nathan to make it big.
- 3:51Speaker 2: This is not exactly what we had in mind for him.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Like you look for fun, he's having a good time.
- 3:56Speaker 2: We're thinking like like musicals and plays.
- 3:58Speaker 1: And I hear we turn it into a musical, give
- 4:01Speaker 1: him a little like walking cane, have him dance around
- 4:04Speaker 1: singing that he needs blood no, and then he falls down,
- 4:08Speaker 1: you know, because he doesn't have enough blood in him.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Is that what you're thinking, No, that's that's not what
- 4:13Speaker 2: I'm thinking. I'm thinking this is ridiculous and really yeah,
- 4:17Speaker 2: I just I just don't think this is right.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Well, this is disappointing because your little sister Gigi said
- 4:22Speaker 1: Nathan would definitely be up for doing this.
- 4:26Speaker 2: My little sister, jeez.
- 4:29Speaker 1: She said that Nathan would totally beg for blood. After
- 4:32Speaker 1: we do this prank phone call on. Yeah, I'm sorry,
- 4:37Speaker 1: it's a prank. My name is My name is jeff
- 4:43Speaker 1: from the radio show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.
- 4:45Speaker 1: We're doing a phone tap on you. It was your
- 4:49Speaker 1: sister's idea. She said, she loves it when she gets
- 4:52Speaker 1: a chance to annoy you one Yet, so you bought it.
- 4:57Speaker 1: You actually thought that it was a real thing.
- 5:00Speaker 2: I bought it. I believe I'm usually some crazy agency'd
- 5:04Speaker 2: be like, yeah, that's a great idea.
- 5:06Speaker 1: I mean, Gig thought it was good. I know she
- 5:08Speaker 1: would have given all of her blood if she saw
- 5:10Speaker 1: Nathan do that.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, she's so terrible. Book in Jeffrey's Phone
