It is season two of the Mutton Sandwich podcast. 0:00:12.380 --> 0:00:14.510 So happy to be back. What's a very fun season 0:00:14.510 --> 0:00:16.880 one where we actually spoke to a whole bunch of 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:18.560 our famous radio friends? 0:00:18.590 --> 0:00:21.800 That's right. But in season two, we, you know, decided 0:00:21.890 --> 0:00:25.730 to expand our horizons and talk to the other people 0:00:25.730 --> 0:00:28.730 that we know in showbiz that happened to be wireless. 0:00:28.730 --> 0:00:30.290 We call them our friends, LA, where they were really 0:00:30.290 --> 0:00:33.110 friends and it's up to them. But yeah, we pretend 0:00:33.110 --> 0:00:34.190 we're friends and 0:00:34.580 --> 0:00:37.370 we love them dropping. So of course, these are our 0:00:37.370 --> 0:00:39.800 famous friends who, you know, because of the pandemic as well. 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.110 We haven't caught up with them in a long time. 0:00:41.229 --> 0:00:44.809 You know what lets everybody eavesdrop on our catch up? 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:46.790 And of course, for the very first episode, we had 0:00:46.790 --> 0:00:48.470 to bring in a very big star. 0:00:48.510 --> 0:00:51.590 Absolutely. One of the biggest stars on TV at the moment, 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:55.310 and hopefully for a long time to come. He is Mr. 0:00:55.310 --> 0:00:57.260 Desmond Don. Hello, Desmond. 0:00:57.860 --> 0:01:02.060 Hello, everyone. Welcome to the new season and a good-looking one. 0:01:02.060 --> 0:01:05.330 So good looking because you are here. I know. 0:01:07.180 --> 0:01:07.370 Hey. 0:01:09.430 --> 0:01:11.090 I don't think we had a chance to say this yet. 0:01:11.450 --> 0:01:13.100 Congratulations on the Star Awards. 0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:14.210 Yeah, man, best 0:01:14.420 --> 0:01:19.880 actor and obviously Top 10 as well. How is this 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.550 your star? Was it? Was it strange? It was very different. 0:01:22.580 --> 0:01:24.259 I was at the airport and you guys were standing 0:01:24.260 --> 0:01:26.650 on the runway and tell us all about it. 0:01:27.250 --> 0:01:30.830 The other thing is, Star Wars is pretty, pretty different 0:01:31.190 --> 0:01:34.670 and strange in some ways. And I think in some 0:01:34.670 --> 0:01:36.980 ways this is like, who would ever think that we 0:01:36.980 --> 0:01:40.790 have our Star Wars and Changi Airport? And then I 0:01:40.830 --> 0:01:44.420 would be like, Do the recovery act on on the runway? 0:01:44.450 --> 0:01:46.550 I mean, I never thought of that. I would never 0:01:46.550 --> 0:01:49.790 do something had before in my life so special. And 0:01:49.790 --> 0:01:52.930 I think it was more like a comeback for what 0:01:52.940 --> 0:01:56.060 as well, because obviously you missed last year and it's 0:01:56.060 --> 0:01:59.540 been like two years since we had the ceremony. Have 0:01:59.540 --> 0:02:01.760 you ever asked us to please him? I thought it 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.350 was very refreshing and quite magical in some moments when 0:02:06.350 --> 0:02:08.869 I was sitting on right now pondering Star Wars 0:02:09.350 --> 0:02:11.570 and the weird thing, we were talking about it when 0:02:11.570 --> 0:02:13.820 it happened as well on air, we were saying that 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.579 the funny thing is, if it wasn't for the pandemic, 0:02:16.580 --> 0:02:18.380 you could never have done it. Changi Airport Changi Airport 0:02:18.380 --> 0:02:19.869 is never so empty that you can just, 0:02:19.910 --> 0:02:21.530 yeah, it's usually a very busy place, 0:02:21.620 --> 0:02:23.840 but I think up on the tarmac and probably fingers 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.670 crossed next year you can't do it either, because by 0:02:25.669 --> 0:02:28.010 next year, maybe travel would have opened ready. So this 0:02:28.010 --> 0:02:30.830 was the only you could have done that as actually. 0:02:30.830 --> 0:02:33.560 But I hope that next year we can start traveling 0:02:33.570 --> 0:02:36.230 and not our last. What size and apply anymore? 0:02:36.260 --> 0:02:39.410 Yeah, exactly. Right. Yeah, well, all fingers crossed hoping for 0:02:39.410 --> 0:02:43.550 that as well. Now it's been a strange year and 0:02:43.550 --> 0:02:46.940 a half almost. And I'm sure for you as well. 0:02:47.270 --> 0:02:51.080 A lot of things change. So so how has the 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.450 pandemic been for you, man? What are the things that 0:02:53.450 --> 0:02:56.450 you have to change to, you know, resume some sort 0:02:56.450 --> 0:02:57.109 of normalcy? 0:02:57.980 --> 0:03:00.739 I don't not mean, to be honest, after two years, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:05.119 I'm still doing adjustment and I don't really fully understand 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.250 this whole thing yet. It was like a pendulum swing. 0:03:07.250 --> 0:03:10.580 You know, we start to ease back to a normal 0:03:10.580 --> 0:03:14.000 life and then and then you go back a step 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.550 and then you kind of go you many more have 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.350 can do things that we usually do. So obviously finding 0:03:19.350 --> 0:03:22.340 a job that is being quite hard for me, especially 0:03:22.350 --> 0:03:25.550 for the workplace, because it's getting the momentum or even 0:03:25.550 --> 0:03:28.560 going to the gym, it was like, OK, I'm already 0:03:28.820 --> 0:03:31.580 doing all the lifting and I'm back home again and 0:03:31.580 --> 0:03:37.580 getting lazy and doing all the drinking. Yeah, yeah, that's true. 0:03:37.580 --> 0:03:37.940 That's true. 0:03:39.470 --> 0:03:41.270 So for people who don't know and honestly, I don't 0:03:41.270 --> 0:03:43.400 know the answer to this as well, how many times 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:44.810 a week does Desmond go to the gym 0:03:46.580 --> 0:03:49.820 prior to the pandemic? I hit the gym almost five 0:03:49.820 --> 0:03:52.970 times a week and down by ambition that day. 0:03:53.180 --> 0:03:54.880 That's what you call dedication. I mean, you're not going 0:03:55.220 --> 0:03:57.320 to be the star that you are. There's some things 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.930 you have to maintain. I mean, there's there's there is 0:03:59.930 --> 0:04:02.870 no surprises there. So from five times to, you know, 0:04:02.870 --> 0:04:05.060 hardly any time now during the pandemic and all that. 0:04:05.300 --> 0:04:06.320 How do you keep fit, man? 0:04:07.220 --> 0:04:10.910 So right now, I kind of just follow the flow 0:04:10.910 --> 0:04:16.040 and just enjoy it. And just one day at a time, 0:04:16.339 --> 0:04:19.130 not so much to get used to the more. 0:04:19.779 --> 0:04:23.690 Right, right? Yeah. No, no, no snacking in between. And, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.929 you know, just to keep yourself healthy, like that's the 0:04:26.930 --> 0:04:28.340 least you can do as a promotion. 0:04:28.670 --> 0:04:31.250 I'm not sure. I'm not sure about that, and I 0:04:31.250 --> 0:04:36.279 think I lost at see life is so unfair. 0:04:36.950 --> 0:04:39.200 He just he just said he loves snacking. He loves eating. 0:04:39.210 --> 0:04:41.610 He he looks like, Come on. 0:04:42.650 --> 0:04:43.490 So unfair. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.560 You know, now, Desmond, obviously, yo yo yo yo. We're very, 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.020 very well known as a Channel eight star, in fact, 0:04:51.020 --> 0:04:53.839 winning star awards and all that right? But you've you've 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.049 also branched out and because you're effectively bilingual, obviously, and 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.980 you've branched out to the English drama besides our Court 0:05:00.980 --> 0:05:02.600 of law in L.A., you, you, you did a spin 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:07.170 off series, a Derek, which is. Very interesting, because I 0:05:07.170 --> 0:05:10.169 remember having a conversation with you a while ago when 0:05:10.170 --> 0:05:12.180 when we could actually meet up and all that. And 0:05:12.180 --> 0:05:14.789 you said Derek was was one of your favorite things 0:05:14.790 --> 0:05:17.279 to do. You, you you love playing that character so much. 0:05:17.430 --> 0:05:18.780 Tell us a bit about the character and why you 0:05:18.779 --> 0:05:19.440 love it so much. 0:05:19.529 --> 0:05:22.859 So they're in could have lost one of my favorite. 0:05:22.860 --> 0:05:25.109 Alan grew out of a and he's also one of 0:05:25.110 --> 0:05:29.610 the first English I'm going to because my career and 0:05:30.450 --> 0:05:32.969 what I really like about it is it's very different 0:05:32.970 --> 0:05:36.720 from the the typical roles that I was playing on 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.719 the drama during then. So this is the first time 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.100 I've played a villain. And then the director gave me 0:05:44.100 --> 0:05:49.190 a lot of space to adjust and create and fighting 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:55.620 moments on set to create the psychotic version of myself, 0:05:55.620 --> 0:05:58.560 which night Singapore. And boy, it was really fun for 0:05:58.570 --> 0:06:02.720 me to play that role. I could just be fully 0:06:02.730 --> 0:06:06.630 imaginative and just be the moment. Yeah, yeah. And then 0:06:06.630 --> 0:06:10.290 for that role, I was lucky because I really enjoyed 0:06:10.290 --> 0:06:12.390 playing it so much that I just didn't correct it 0:06:12.390 --> 0:06:17.159 during the production period before season one. Yeah. So I 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.159 was playing pretty much like a method acting kind of way, 0:06:20.220 --> 0:06:23.370 my hand to it. And then I pretty much needed 0:06:23.370 --> 0:06:27.480 character even when I'm home. So I it was quite 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.909 a moment for me doing that. It just gave me 0:06:29.910 --> 0:06:33.150 a lot of reports and wow. It was quite interesting 0:06:33.150 --> 0:06:36.180 with relief, and that is Derek doing the production on 0:06:36.630 --> 0:06:37.460 a of two. 0:06:37.790 --> 0:06:42.220 Yeah, that sounds amazing, man. And obviously, you know, paid 0:06:42.300 --> 0:06:46.370 off because on screen, you you are absolutely psycho, you know, 0:06:46.380 --> 0:06:46.650 like 0:06:46.860 --> 0:06:48.840 you said, yeah, you 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.440 could tell, though, that, you know, you almost couldn't tell 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.370 that you were acting, you know. 0:06:54.510 --> 0:06:56.520 How did your family react to it, though? 0:06:56.670 --> 0:07:01.140 I guess then I just was pretty busy on set 0:07:01.140 --> 0:07:04.590 and I didn't socialize them. I didn't see my family 0:07:04.589 --> 0:07:06.720 that much. I didn't see my friends at my right, 0:07:06.850 --> 0:07:09.860 so they didn't really see the crazy part of me. Yeah. 0:07:10.380 --> 0:07:14.130 Wow. You know, and of course, you know, playing a 0:07:14.130 --> 0:07:18.120 character like that, you know which which obviously you loved 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.020 and enjoyed doing. What are the kind of roles would 0:07:22.020 --> 0:07:24.300 you say you would like to try now, now that 0:07:24.300 --> 0:07:27.480 you've done this psycho serial killer type? 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.590 You know, just before I came on this podcast, I 0:07:31.590 --> 0:07:35.560 was just watching the Olympics and every sport we sports, 0:07:35.580 --> 0:07:36.240 I was watching. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.180 Oh, wow, diving. 0:07:38.850 --> 0:07:41.880 I was watching volleyball, beach volleyball. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.110 Yeah, that's my favorite. You know, we're always 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:52.140 going for this. I decided to change my mind. I'm 0:07:52.140 --> 0:07:55.080 playing as a body bowler, so I think I'm trying 0:07:55.090 --> 0:07:59.070 to see how you can create. I mean, many, 0:07:59.070 --> 0:08:01.020 many years ago when I was a very young boy, 0:08:01.020 --> 0:08:04.170 I remember, was it tennis? You won and a couple 0:08:04.170 --> 0:08:06.740 of other ladies are kind of the names now. They 0:08:06.810 --> 0:08:09.840 they mean a volleyball drama, right? And it did very well. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.620 Exactly. And when I was in secondary school, they had 0:08:13.620 --> 0:08:16.679 another body blow. So that helped me to grow up 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.980 a lot because he was doing my puberty period. Well, hi, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:20.700 there you go. 0:08:21.450 --> 0:08:24.270 So maybe a drama where you play like an athlete, 0:08:24.270 --> 0:08:26.290 you know, trying to represent saying that you don't, you're 0:08:26.310 --> 0:08:26.760 going to be off 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:31.260 the yeah, why not? Right? Eventually, you. Wow. OK, wow. 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.290 So so now with the acting and winning of the 0:08:34.290 --> 0:08:37.320 Star Awards and everything you let, let's let's talk more 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.350 about Yo-Yo. Your personal life. Yeah. You know the stuff 0:08:40.350 --> 0:08:44.040 that you're willing to reveal to us, obviously. No. Of course. 0:08:44.100 --> 0:08:48.130 The other business a Desmond time. You know what? What 0:08:48.150 --> 0:08:52.949 kind of business ideas have you had? What kind of 0:08:52.950 --> 0:08:54.180 things would you want to go into a 0:08:54.179 --> 0:08:56.910 lot of your colleagues and your peers? They they go 0:08:56.910 --> 0:08:57.650 into business through 0:08:57.660 --> 0:08:58.980 a menu with McDonald's. 0:08:59.660 --> 0:09:04.050 Know your name on the McDonald's burger? Yeah. Is that 0:09:04.050 --> 0:09:08.610 something you're saying? Yeah, no clearer what the idea of 0:09:08.610 --> 0:09:09.690 any any such plans 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.600 at the moment, a concrete concrete plan. But I think 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.640 deep inside me, I'm I'm adventurous like businessmen, always have 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.040 a business ideas, right? And then when I have like, 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.040 you know, reference, I usually talk about it. I think 0:09:22.050 --> 0:09:26.460 I call. But in one year, it's all about creating 0:09:26.460 --> 0:09:31.530 in every cell, but eventually happen. Yeah. But then I 0:09:31.530 --> 0:09:33.929 know I do have some ideas, but even my friends 0:09:33.929 --> 0:09:36.230 who are come up to me say that, you know, like, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:41.400 you should have a scientist also other than your acting workshop. Yeah, 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.580 for sure. I do have some ideas like I know 0:09:44.580 --> 0:09:48.270 my passion and actually, I love animals. Yes, you do 0:09:48.380 --> 0:09:50.640 always like this part of me that I want to have, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.670 like a grooming place, come up with a line for 0:09:53.670 --> 0:09:57.900 like T-Boz, Pet it and stuff like that. We showed 0:09:57.900 --> 0:10:01.380 a lot of fun for animals and then I didn't 0:10:01.380 --> 0:10:06.719 do it recently. I'm very much into Austin. In India, 0:10:06.740 --> 0:10:12.080 what and my coffee? Oh, sounds nice. OK, OK, so 0:10:12.220 --> 0:10:18.170 a few weeks back, I actually attended federal course. Oh, right. Yeah. 0:10:18.170 --> 0:10:20.900 So I just find it quite fascinating that, you know, 0:10:20.929 --> 0:10:26.950 the the smell smell will actually give us a certain 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:32.230 mood and set us on a certain comfort level. Yeah. No, 0:10:32.270 --> 0:10:34.560 I'm actually looking to that as well. I'm not sure 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.170 whether I actually do want to be out of it. No, 0:10:38.450 --> 0:10:40.140 you know, I think that my happen. 0:10:40.820 --> 0:10:43.160 Desmond, you could do a business selling trash bags and 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.960 be before 90 days.

Do you call 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.660 Vernon if you want to do things now in terms 0:11:08.660 --> 0:11:11.800 of our personal relations, think you are the U.N. one 0:11:11.809 --> 0:11:13.250 and go more way back then? 0:11:13.670 --> 0:11:16.280 Well, we we share mutual friends and you know, so 0:11:16.340 --> 0:11:20.360 your un un Verlinden, like, how do you know each other? 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.480 And like, what was your impression when you first met him? 0:11:23.900 --> 0:11:26.720 Yeah, it's interesting. Just like, you know, I listen to 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:31.620 questions almost every morning to you guys and thank you, 0:11:31.809 --> 0:11:35.599 you guys. Really funny and full do sometimes. So when 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.060 I first met Vernon, I was expecting, you know, just 0:11:38.140 --> 0:11:41.690 of this crazy guy, and I didn't find him having 0:11:41.690 --> 0:11:46.270 the usual quiet. So he was quite a. And then 0:11:46.790 --> 0:11:49.130 and then we started speaking and I realized that, you know, 0:11:49.340 --> 0:11:52.739 a different state on Vernon that we listen on the radio. 0:11:53.210 --> 0:11:54.640 You know? Yeah. 0:11:54.650 --> 0:11:56.780 And I'm glad you like that because I would be 0:11:56.780 --> 0:11:58.580 there if I if I was having dinner with Derek, 0:11:58.580 --> 0:12:04.180 you know, all the cutlery, you know, like, Hey, I'll 0:12:04.190 --> 0:12:06.410 give you my former. So very dangerous. 0:12:07.490 --> 0:12:10.819 But you know, that's the one thing that people say 0:12:10.820 --> 0:12:12.830 to us more often and not people who meet us 0:12:12.830 --> 0:12:15.770 for the first time. It's like, actually, you're quite you're 0:12:15.770 --> 0:12:19.579 not very funny. You know, if they have a meal 0:12:19.580 --> 0:12:23.180 with us. But we spend so much time every day 0:12:23.300 --> 0:12:25.630 on annotating people that if 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:26.660 it's quiet, then 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.120 there are times that you just want to, you know, 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.000 reserve the energy. 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.930 So yeah, I can imagine. And I honestly don't understand 0:12:33.050 --> 0:12:35.689 how you guys are so power up early in the 0:12:35.690 --> 0:12:37.760 morning because like, I understand you guys have become like 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:41.070 maybe four or five p.m. to start work, you know? Yeah. 0:12:41.300 --> 0:12:43.670 And then to crack jokes and keep people and the 0:12:43.670 --> 0:12:45.559 team where they are on the way to work or 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.630 even when they're home is just amazing work that you 0:12:47.630 --> 0:12:48.110 guys doing. 0:12:48.170 --> 0:12:49.880 Oh, thanks so much. It's a really nice of you 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:50.150 to see. 0:12:50.390 --> 0:12:51.860 That's why they pay us more than they pay you. 0:12:52.309 --> 0:12:56.390 Hey, you know, 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:06.090 you're kidding, right? No, I'm kidding. There's no way that's true. Oh, hey. Yes. So, 0:13:06.110 --> 0:13:09.170 you know, speaking of speaking of stuff like that, right? Um, 0:13:09.470 --> 0:13:13.490 what is your favorite thing about being desperate time about 0:13:13.490 --> 0:13:16.760 doing what you do, being as famous and all that 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.200 as you are? Like, what is your what is your 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.180 favorite thing about about being in this profession? 0:13:20.630 --> 0:13:22.790 To be honest, I think it is nicer when I'm 0:13:22.790 --> 0:13:23.839 in a locker room. 0:13:25.190 --> 0:13:25.650 That's true. 0:13:25.670 --> 0:13:28.520 That's true. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know it's not that 0:13:28.530 --> 0:13:31.970 I had until recently because like when I go to 0:13:31.970 --> 0:13:35.120 hooker and you can be slightly nicer, then usually they 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.010 speak to me. It's not to me when they're picking 0:13:37.010 --> 0:13:40.580 my order. And then, like at end this year, I 0:13:40.580 --> 0:13:42.440 have to shave my head for a role and I 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.410 look completely different, especially with the muscle. And we had 0:13:45.410 --> 0:13:49.520 different hair, and all sudden people couldn't recognize me as 0:13:49.550 --> 0:13:52.760 much as usual. I know, and because I really like 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:56.449 the way picking my order and you know, I remember 0:13:56.450 --> 0:13:58.840 this time when I was doing like a set B 0:13:58.850 --> 0:14:02.510 and then a business person, and she gave me the 0:14:02.510 --> 0:14:05.930 wrong said, I want it. Yeah, she's like mission creep 0:14:05.929 --> 0:14:06.440 up mirror. 0:14:07.010 --> 0:14:08.950 Oh, my goodness. Wow. 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.880 And I said, You know what? This is what you did. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.580 And yeah, and I'm get me something they do really 0:14:16.580 --> 0:14:17.810 like all these years. Welcome. 0:14:17.809 --> 0:14:24.110 Welcome to another person's life. That's too funny, man. 0:14:24.590 --> 0:14:26.930 That's that is hilarious. 0:14:27.020 --> 0:14:28.930 Oh, saying like this, if we say we kind of like, 0:14:29.780 --> 0:14:32.750 I really enjoy doing this and bring joy to people 0:14:32.750 --> 0:14:36.710 when I meet them, because sometimes when I'm shooting and 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:41.870 see that I really are tired doing this, I doing 0:14:42.110 --> 0:14:44.710 the last time. And then when they recognize me, you know, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.090 they smile and have a little bit check in there 0:14:47.420 --> 0:14:51.680 and be able to smile. Someone's life is something that 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.470 I do enjoy doing after so many years. And it's like, 0:14:54.500 --> 0:14:56.630 Oh yeah, that's amazing. And that's why most of us 0:14:56.630 --> 0:14:59.060 do what we do, isn't it? It's just making people happy. 0:14:59.130 --> 0:15:02.210 No better feeling than someone actually enjoying your work. And, 0:15:02.450 --> 0:15:06.370 you know, because as an actor. It's one of the 0:15:06.370 --> 0:15:08.560 most challenging things, at least, at least, you know, the 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:10.360 fact is I know that they tell me because you 0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:11.730 don't actually get feedback 0:15:11.770 --> 0:15:13.890 and you don't see a live audience when you do 0:15:13.900 --> 0:15:15.550 that. You don't get feedback about what you do or 0:15:15.550 --> 0:15:17.859 whether you're good or not. And two months later, you've 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.280 forgotten what what seems you did, what lines you did. 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.600 Buy time people see your show, right? 0:15:23.170 --> 0:15:26.950 So this is one different thing. And that's the reason 0:15:26.950 --> 0:15:30.820 why we enjoying speaking to people at the public places 0:15:31.150 --> 0:15:33.910 where they're telling you about their feelings about my rule 0:15:33.910 --> 0:15:37.480 or a particular scene or drama. And then you need 0:15:37.570 --> 0:15:40.540 a bit of feedback and response that I get on 0:15:40.540 --> 0:15:43.190 the street and I can actually bring that energy and 0:15:43.190 --> 0:15:46.780 those constructive feedback. So I make sure 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.230 that's right is really and you get the real thoughts 0:15:50.250 --> 0:15:53.720 and of people who actually watch the show. Yeah, yeah. 0:15:53.770 --> 0:15:55.120 So so that's fantastic. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:58.450 So speaking of shows, what what is the next thing 0:15:58.630 --> 0:15:59.760 that people can see you in? 0:15:59.770 --> 0:16:00.880 Yeah, what can we catch you with? 0:16:01.810 --> 0:16:06.280 So currently, I'm doing a show commissioned by CMT, the 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:11.710 narcotic bureau, and I'm playing as a narcotics officer. Nice. 0:16:12.220 --> 0:16:15.460 So this is really interesting because we actually went through 0:16:15.460 --> 0:16:19.310 a lot of training. Secrets can be harmful, like the 0:16:19.330 --> 0:16:22.990 handcuff handling, weapon handling, how to read it, how it's 0:16:22.990 --> 0:16:24.640 done like that. And we actually went for some of 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.210 the operations. Oh, you're kidding. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, we do. Did. 0:16:29.250 --> 0:16:32.590 So we actually read it some houses and some hotels 0:16:32.590 --> 0:16:34.630 as well. So I'm doing 0:16:34.630 --> 0:16:37.180 this. I wonder if the people being really well. Yeah. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.130 This one is Jeanette Dominy. Marijuana was a 0:16:43.150 --> 0:16:46.420 real first operation on the first. How did you actually 0:16:47.110 --> 0:16:52.060 read it? The guy who was it recognized some of us. Yeah, 0:16:52.410 --> 0:16:55.000 the three of actually went in for that operation. Thought 0:16:55.270 --> 0:16:58.570 when he was handcuffed, he doesn't look at us smiling. 0:16:58.810 --> 0:17:00.850 And that was a little bit creepy. 0:17:01.150 --> 0:17:05.430 Yeah, that's right. Oh my goodness. Wow. 0:17:05.710 --> 0:17:07.900 That hole in his head is like, shit, Derek is 0:17:08.630 --> 0:17:09.040 I'm 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:11.970 is going to give me 0:17:12.740 --> 0:17:14.560 that. So do you know when this show comes out 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:20.880 of this show up in November? No, I do not 0:17:20.890 --> 0:17:24.850 see that coming up in August, and that show is 0:17:24.850 --> 0:17:27.100 called key witness. And there's a show that I actually 0:17:27.100 --> 0:17:30.580 shaved my head for. Oh, no particular in 0:17:31.540 --> 0:17:32.680 another killer show. 0:17:32.710 --> 0:17:36.480 Wow. Yeah. And actually show. I hope you don't get that. 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:40.120 We do have, like many media action scenes, almost every episode, 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:44.560 so I think there's something quite different. My regular 9pm 0:17:44.740 --> 0:17:46.889 teenage drama is something that you guys kind of do. 0:17:46.900 --> 0:17:50.409 Take it on. Also on you watch. 0:17:50.470 --> 0:17:54.420 Very cool. Very cool. That's what I mean. Yeah, exactly 0:17:54.430 --> 0:17:56.919 right. Side, we've never seen of you before. 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.730 That should that should be fun to watch. Hey, one 0:18:00.730 --> 0:18:02.890 more thing to do before we go Desmond now, because 0:18:02.890 --> 0:18:05.320 we know it's you off there. You've you've taken time 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:06.940 off you off to talk to us. We're very appreciative 0:18:06.940 --> 0:18:11.169 of that. No one zero one one little shtick we 0:18:11.170 --> 0:18:12.790 love to do here in the Mud and Sandwich podcast 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.210 is that we like to end with our guest being 0:18:16.210 --> 0:18:19.270 able to ask us a question. So you have the 0:18:19.270 --> 0:18:21.850 time right now to ask us a question. It can 0:18:21.850 --> 0:18:23.350 be too violent, it can be digested, it can be 0:18:23.350 --> 0:18:26.710 to both up to you any question, and there's no 0:18:26.710 --> 0:18:28.360 question there are out of bounds. 0:18:28.550 --> 0:18:31.570 OK, OK, so this question is going to the two 0:18:31.570 --> 0:18:35.880 of you. Just give me some ideas. Oh, nice. Oh yeah, 0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:37.990 we don't know that you get to me. This question 0:18:38.230 --> 0:18:43.040 is now The Muppet Show. We'll go into some kind 0:18:43.060 --> 0:18:46.060 of show is there are two of you and one 0:18:46.060 --> 0:18:49.659 of you was seen as the only cool would it be? Wow. 0:18:50.140 --> 0:18:54.720 Wow. What a great question. And the serial killers question? Yeah, exactly. 0:18:55.270 --> 0:18:57.369 So one of us is killed off and then, you know, 0:18:57.369 --> 0:18:59.530 the other had to continue to show, who would it be? 0:19:00.070 --> 0:19:04.030 I would say that you answer it. Yeah, no. I 0:19:04.030 --> 0:19:07.369 would say that Justin will continue the show. Oh yeah. Why? 0:19:07.930 --> 0:19:10.480 Because he he can't do anything else. He's quite useless. 0:19:11.350 --> 0:19:15.550 He has. He has no other skill except pressing buttons, 0:19:15.670 --> 0:19:19.540 talking and eating. So. Yeah. You know, whereas I could 0:19:19.540 --> 0:19:21.880 probably go off and do quite a few other things. 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.840 I've been doing this this job since I was 16 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.580 years old. You can't blame me. I have no other skill. Oh, right. 0:19:27.730 --> 0:19:31.870 I really don't. My my answer is actually the other 0:19:31.869 --> 0:19:35.200 way around. You know, and obviously, I'm the nicer person 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.780 here because I will volunteer myself to be killed and 0:19:37.780 --> 0:19:40.250 you to continue. Oh, wow. Not because of the show. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.700 Oh man. Not because of the show. OK, Jeff, just 0:19:42.700 --> 0:19:44.919 one appeal factor. I have no children, so there's nobody 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:45.400 to miss me 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.260 rise or no responsibility. 0:19:47.260 --> 0:19:49.270 Like you have two kids. So don't get killed, Matt. 0:19:49.270 --> 0:19:50.050 And don't don't leave the 0:19:50.050 --> 0:19:50.850 dog, OK? 0:19:51.910 --> 0:19:54.189 You need to bring my godson to be a good man. 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:58.230 Sure, I will try. I will try. No, no. If 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:00.050 I can kill you and then, then I'll get Desmond 0:20:00.050 --> 0:20:02.320 to cause you me, that'll be perfect. 0:20:03.250 --> 0:20:05.560 All right. Wow. 0:20:05.890 --> 0:20:07.600 Never expect that question like that. 0:20:07.630 --> 0:20:09.710 Well done, man was requested. 0:20:10.150 --> 0:20:14.590 How about a few things you guys haven't asked a 0:20:14.590 --> 0:20:18.310 second question? Oh yeah. Go ahead, shoot. Can I get 0:20:18.310 --> 0:20:24.550 the recipe for a fucking movie?

No, but we'll tell you the truth, Desmond. 0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.130 We don't even have the recipe because the recipe is 0:20:42.130 --> 0:20:45.940 a it's a real secret locked inside the head of 0:20:45.940 --> 0:20:46.780 our head chef, 0:20:47.109 --> 0:20:50.650 and only he knows how to get your hands as 0:20:50.650 --> 0:20:52.650 well as you become. 0:20:52.670 --> 0:20:54.630 No, no, no.
