Speaker 2: the past week. Matthew McConaughey, alright, all right, all right.

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: Do you know what I always like Matthew McConaughey, and

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: I thought he was awesome, but I never realized just

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 2: how big he was. I mean I did, but I

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: didn't think everybody loved him. And then you and I

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: fits when had a chat with him, the chat turned

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: into a three bloke sitting around on a rock having

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: a bourbon.

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: I think I saw that was it.

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,080

00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: Does he feel does it? When you're talking to him though?

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: Does it feel like he's playing a character extream?

17
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: He is.

18
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 4: He's very passionate. He's Southern and every like. I mean,

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 4: he's bought his own football team.

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: Is it a soccer team? It is an American.

21

Speaker 4: Yeah, So he's brought his own like, I mean, these

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 4: are the things that he's passionate about. There's a lot

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 4: of social issues that he really gets involved with as well.

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 3: He wrote that book, was it green Light?

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Was it?

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: Did you read it?

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: I didn't realize and correct me if this is COmON

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: knowledge that all right or right or right was the

29
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: first line he ever said in any movie and he

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: made it up on the spot.

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 2: Yes, right?

32
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: How good?

Speaker 1: you're on track for a good career. What about your

36
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: first line?

37
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: What we also learned in that book, MDG that his

38
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: father passed away in the act or just soon after

39
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: with his mother. They were very amorous couple. Mum was

40
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: not afraid of a man. They got married. Mum and

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: dad actually got married and remarried and married again three times.

42
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: That's so cuteah, really cute. But the dad died like

43
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: in the throes, like.

44
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: Heart attack, knowing you don't need to do the noise

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: that was.

46
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: Him dying a death.

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: So it.

48
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: Grossed out.

49
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 4: What about the look on my fats like me, I'm

50
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 4: actually go looking for a dead body?

51
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean that happened on the job. That was actually

52
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: one of them.

53
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: Funny this morning, I've been listening to you on the way.

54
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: I pulled the back of it because his throat's gone

55
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: so he can't laugh. So I've had a lot of

56
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: my jokes.

57
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: He said that story though, right, And unfortunately when he

58
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: brought it up, I think it was with Howard Soon

59
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: or something. Every interview after that he was asked about dying,

60
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 4: to the point now that he just loathes talking about

61
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: that subject.

62
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: Tell me about your dad doing on the job. This

63
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: is interesting because he goes on to talk about how

64
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. He's obviously great mates, but

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: they go on to talk about how close their families are,

66
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: and there was a running joke that he goes on

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: and says that we call the kids uncle w and

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 2: his kids call me Uncle Matthew, and all of this

69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: sort of stuff. But they also say looking at family

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: photos of each other, they often mistake each other because

71
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 2: they look they all look quite.

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: Similar, very similar, aren't they.

73
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: Then in Greece a few years ago, he says, we

74
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 2: were sitting around talking as a family, and he said,

75
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: my mom was there. My mom then turned to Woody

76
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: and said, Woody, I knew your dad. And when my

77
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 2: mom says I knew your dad, she really knew your dad.

78
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: What do you mean? They hooked up.

79
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: Yes, what knew him?

80
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 2: He knew him? I really knew him.

81
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: Oh no, I kissed her and just kiss.

82
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 3: That was embarrassing because then he goes on mother.

83
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: He goes on to say there was a time between

84
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: the separation from the original father from Matthew's father that

85
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: he follow They were on a break, on a break

86
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: the old gray area. We can argue this one, so

87
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: I may as well. And that's when it happened. So

88
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Woody Harrelson's come out and said, why don't we do

89
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: a DNA test? And then Matthew McConaughey said no, no,

90
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: because I've got skin in the game, because I don't

91
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: want to know that someone else is my dad and

92
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: my dad's not my dad, And Woody Harrelson was going, well,

93
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 2: I know who my dad is. Woody Harrelson's dad was

94
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: a hit man. He died in jail.

95
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Did he really?

96
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: This is so confusing.

97
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: So they ended up working together. The families are so close,

98
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: and then we find out that Matt's mum really knew

99
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: Woody Harrelson's dath.

100
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: This is something that you do not need to know,

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: you know what, it's a funny story, or you hooked

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 4: up with each other. That's great. No DNA tests need

103
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: to be involved.

104
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: I don't even think you need to know that.

105
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: Do you?

106
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 4: Do you know if you're related to anyone?

107
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: Kate?

108
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 4: Are you?

109
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: Have you anyone famous?

110
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 4: Have you done the ancestry? You should go to your feet.

111
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: No, my dad's really into that though. Scotland once upon

112
