81
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: As of lately, I'll say, in the last two months,

82
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I've been back into the eight hour range of sleeping.

83
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,640

00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: back to a healthier place. I got to do somewhere

91
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: between eight to ten hours for the magic to begin. So,

92
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: but then you guys left me with this this gem

93
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: of the room has to be cold.

94
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you sleep best if the room is freezing. I've

95
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: heard that before, like sixty in the sixties.

96
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, my girlfriend took that the heart and now

97
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: reading night, Yeah, it's cold as hell. It's been sixty

98
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: five degrees in the bedroom.

99
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: Are you sleeping better?

100
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm sleeping well, but it's not like I

101
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: needed to be Africa hot.

102
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: My wife, Well, that's why my wife likes it much

103
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: colder than me, and that's why they have heating pad.

104
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: That's what we're talking about. There's there's pads from Actress

105
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: where you can set the temperature so you could keep

106
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: your side hot and her side cold, and it's something

107
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 3: that's throughout l Yeah. Perfect, I'm sorry, it's exactly right,

108
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: but uh no, it's fun. And I think I think

109
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 3: as bed get older, they get colder. It is we

110
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: would get older, they get hotter. Yeah. Yeah, me and

111
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: my wife have kind of We were just talking about

112
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 3: how we like crossed over. Like when we first started dating,

113
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: I was always hot and she was always cold, and

114
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: now I'm always cold and she's always hot. And we

115
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: probably had like three years where we were both the

116
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 3: same temperature and we didn't realize how good that time

117
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 3: was until it was gone.

118
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: No, it could be really probably problematic because I'll get up,

119
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: I'll reach my limit at exactly like four to seventeen am.

120
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 3: And you're freezing. Are you sure I'll sneak up with nothing?

121
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: Don't you remember? Do it all right? You remember on.

122
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: Sesame Street the green guy in the in the in

123
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: the trench coat that used to always sell Ernie like

124
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: a letter Hey.

125
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah exactly, letter dealer, right, so like his

126
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: little creep music, creeping tiptoe music. Yes, exactly.

127
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: So I'm in my own house that I paid for creeping,

128
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: putting that ship back to like something normal like sixty eight.

129
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't go below sixty eight ars. That's where we've landed.

130
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: My wife Lauren would go to this like low sixties.

131
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: Over thirty five. You got to go to sixty six, brom.

132
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 2: You got put on another blanket and then make it

133
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: hot underneath it. You know what I'm saying. That's the gold.

134
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: Think about it.

135
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: What's the what's the logic keeping it colder? What's the

136
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 5: physics of well?

137
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: And then the thing is that your your brain is

138
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: divided into two parts. There's the conscious brain, and like

139
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: the concert is like hey, uh, I'm gonna go to work.

140
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to work later today, I'm gonna take

141
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: the subway home, I'm gonna lose weight, I'm going to

142
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: ask that girl out. And then it's a subconscious which

143
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: does stuff like I'm gonna make sure your heart's beating

144
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure you're waist. So it's the it's

145
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: the part of your brain.

146
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: WHOA, yeah, what you said. And so it's actually a

147
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: fish song of course. And so.

148
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Your body has to be totally knocked out. So you

149
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: get to that R. E. M state at exactly six

150
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: hours and forty five minutes. When you're that sleep, then

151
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: you're right out of brains, like waking up like.

152
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 7: All right, he's asleep, let's get to work.

153
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: And so then that's where the fat burns. That's where

154
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: like all the things that you want to help have

155
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: happened for your life to be good. Your your brain's

156
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: like all right, they're knocked out. Now now we can

157
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: get to work. But the thing is that most of

158
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: us don't get that much sleep, so we're doing ourselves

159
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: a disservice by only sleeping six to seven hours.

160
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: It's terrible for you.

161
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, you didn't answer my question. Why does it

162
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: have to be cold?

163
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: Probably because people probably because it was cold at night.

164
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: You're you mean like before we had houses.

165
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's probably like we're conditioned to sleep in

166
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 3: colder environments.

167
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: So I think so at this.

168
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: Event, Okay, can we just agree that this entire hours.

169
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of on you're side of the fence. Why

170
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: does it have to be so damn cold? No, I

171
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: mean I'm just asking.

172
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm asking.

173
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 5: I'm what's the scientific part of I don't think this helps.

174
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's why I want to know.

175
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: Google where we changed the subject.

176
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 7: I'm just going to suggest everybody hop on Google.

177
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Google, and then anyway, let's talk about movies. But

178
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: you do sleep better what it's called, and that's that's fact. So, uh, give,

179
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: we don't need wise? Are we giving wise? We're just

180
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: giving answers here. It's said that completely unsubstantiated information scientists.

181
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: Scientists have going on a record and said.

182
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: So we had a doctor he substantiated it.

183
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of believe me and my curiosity exactly.

184
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,680

240
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,240

00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: interviewed me, I was paranoid because.

253
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: He just knew ways. Oh it's weird. Too much information

254
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: he knew about me. That was he brought out your books. Yeah,

255
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: he had my high school yearbooks. Literally, he like knew people,

256
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: He knew names that I hadn't heard in like, yeah,

257
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,359
Speaker 3: twenty five years.

258
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,040

260
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 7: It would freak me out.

261
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: It was super fucking freaky. But his knowledge is bizarre.

262
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: He's always trying to get to Kanye. He's like, that's

263
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,280

Speaker 3: a YouTube oh alone, not at all. Yeah, I can

265
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 3: see that going very bad.

266
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: He somehow thinks that I have the magic touch to

267
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,239
Speaker 1: get him to the Obamas.

268
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:13,800

280
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: It's not somewhere I grew up going, but it's somewhere

306
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 3: where they encourage people to do it and that ruined

307

Speaker 1: parents were, the Sun wasn't like you know, he didn't

314
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: he was concerned about the cows.

00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 3: They were using and.

00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: It's like ice cream succession.

320
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 8: So they that's crazy basket around. I was just in

321
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 8: the ice cream industry, which explains why they had to

322
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 8: partner with.

323
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: Basket.

00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,480

Speaker 2: Have a Margarita flavor. They've had it forever.

326
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: Wow. Good to condition children at a young age to

327
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 3: develop a taste from Margarita's. So twenty minutes.

328
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: So twenty minutes into this interview, let's start. So you

329
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: being born in the early eighties in Vancouver, what was

330
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: the what was your environment like in your household?

331
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: My household, I lived on the East side of Vancouver,

332
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: which in like a one hundred percent like East Indian neighborhood.

333
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: So it was, uh, it was great. It was like

334
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: I would walk around a lot. I was just arguing

335
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: with my parents. Their memory was that I never walked

336
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 3: around alone, and I definitively did all the time. It

337
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: would take the bus all around the city. But uh, yeah,

338
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: but I went to school on the West Side, I

339
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: grew up. I started doing stand up when I was young,

340
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: like twelve or thirteen, and I would started writing around

341
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: then too, and I smoked weed a lot, and not

342
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 3: much has changed my life since I was twelve. I ag.

343
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: So the myth, the myth of super Bad and you

344
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: crafting this at such a young age is.

345
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: Yes, for sure. Yeah. Me and my partner Evan, who

346
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: I still work with, met in bar Mitzvah class when

347
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: we were twelve and then started writing together not long

348
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 3: after that, and we had yeah, we probably finished the

349
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: draft to Super Bad when we were like fourteen or

350
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 3: fifteen for a complete yeah by then, but we started

351
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,959
Speaker 3: when we were like thirteen, And there is some and

352
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: it's like what the things were. It's almost sad that

353
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 3: like I'm not that much smarter or fuddier than I

354
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: was when I was thirteen years old, because there are

355
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 3: some jokes in the movie that like we wrote when

356
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 3: we were thirteen that are still in the movie, that

357
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: are in the movie that like that held up and

358
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 3: that are still Yeah, you'd like to think you got

359
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: better in that amount of time.

360
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: At fourteen, you look like a professional.

361
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: I'm trying to say. I remember I made I asked

362
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 3: my mom to buy me Final Draft, which was the

363
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: script writing software, and she did. My parents were like

364
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 3: super supportive because I also didn't stand up, so they

365
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 3: saw that, like I would work hard. You know what

366
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 3: I mean? This is ninety six, Yeah, this is probably

367
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: ninety five or ninety six or something like that. Yeah,

368
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: ninety five, I would say, ninety six.

369
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like all right, I'm curious, and this is lead

370
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: just back to the conscious subconscious. Yeah, when you're subconscious,

371
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: it's convinced them of something. Yeah, then your body does it,

372
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: which which explains why you know, Kanye uses outward affirmations

373
00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: I am the greatest, yes, and then everything happens for him,

374
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: the same way with Trump, the same way with Diddy,

375
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 1: the same with Jay.

376
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 2: Remember Day remix it and called it a secret secret.

377
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 7: I have six million dollars in my bank account right now,

378
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 7: right now.

379
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: So I'm curious what what inside you gave you the

380
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: the boss to even be like, yo, let's write a

381
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 1: movie now, Like it didn't even start with like let's

382
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: start with community theater.

383
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 3: Hey, how do you do this?

384
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 7: Or did you see a movie one day?

385
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 3: Is like I could do better. Literally, that's what happened.

386
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 3: Like what movie did you see that sets you off?

387
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: I can't remember and we are all we love picture

388
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: that was like no, like that was something. I had

389
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 3: a pulp fiction poster on my bedroom door, like.

390
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 7: Throughout if you were a teenager in the nineties, you.

391
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 3: Had Yeah, I mean that came out in ninety four,

392
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: maybe I was twelve, so we saw it around then,

393
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: and it was it was also the era of like independent.

394
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 3: It was like the resurgence of this independent film like

395
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 3: Clark Car and Rushmore and Wes Anderson had Bottle Rocket,

396
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 3: so there was oh yeah, we were obsessed with them.

397
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: And it's also one of those things that was my

398
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: parents loved movies and they were just huge movie fans,

399
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 3: so they would like watch a lot of movies and

400
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 3: collect movies. Vancouver. They made some stuff there, so it's

401
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 3: not like Hollywood, but like you would see movie sets

402
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 3: around and so there was like it wasn't this like

403
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 3: completely unobtainable thing. And then in high school, our high

404
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 3: school was right across the street from to video store,

405
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 3: like uh giant video stores, and we would rent movies,

406
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 3: like we watched. All we would do is like smoke.

407
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: We'd watch movies basically, and and when you watch enough movies,

408
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: you start to think, maybe we could do this, and

409
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 3: if we write something that's like cheap, then maybe that

410
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: was always the thought was, like it was said in

411
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: high school super bad, and we were like, where it

412
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: comes to worst, like this becomes something we like we

413
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 3: made movies with like our like you know, we had

414
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 3: a video camera. We were like, we could technically make

415
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: this ourselves if we wanted to.

416
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: You know, what was your north star in terms of Okay,

417
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: So now now it's just hitting me that because I

418
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: family that worked at an independent movie theater back in

419
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: ninety one ninety two, so I always have free tickets.

420
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: But you know, we're seeing al Marachi, We're seeing like

421
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: all these indie films, which I mean at the time

422
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it, but it was grooming me to

423
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: gear towards art house stuff as opposed to mainstream stuff.

424
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: But for you, what were your Were you a film

425
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: snob or were you just like you know, I got

426
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 1: Poor GI's and Hot Dog.

427
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we were hot the Ski movie, Yeah, of course.

428
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 7: I liked Hamburger the motion picture.

429
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hamburger, Hamburger Bucker. Was there a Hamburger movie?

430
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: Yes, I gotta see it.

431
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: It was amazing TV.

432
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: There's a specific like C movie yeh VHS section.

433
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 7: Anything that was on HBO late night and liked.

434
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: In the mid eighties, we would just rent movies based

435
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 3: on what the cover of the box looking garbage.

436
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: Anybody can find the garbage.

437
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: It's funny. Busy Domight movie just came out. I would

438
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: watch it. But we were we were obsessed with Dollmkee

439
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 3: because like it was one of those reason that like

440
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: purely based on the colt We're like, what is this?

441
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 3: We did? We did the same We did the same thing.

442
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 6: Like every Friday night we would all meet up with

443
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 6: this Mexican restaurant in town and then we would all

444
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 6: like caravan over to the video store, argue for about

445
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 6: half an hour about what video we're going to pick out?

446
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: Oh, we would argue for hours. We spend more time

447
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 3: in the video store than we would watching the movies

448
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: we rented at the video like that was the activity

449
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: was going to the video store. Inside we argue over

450
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 3: what we did.

451
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 6: We called it tasteless movie night. We would try to

452
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 6: find the most tasteless movie we could find in the

453
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 6: video suffect. Yeah, and we would just go to my

454
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 6: friend Darren's basement and watch it. And just like it

455
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 6: was commentary, it was perfect commentary involved. I'm sure if

456
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 6: there had been well his mom was a teacher, sect.

457
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 3: Would never So where were you go? Uh? Well, I

458
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 3: think it's like one thing I look at is like

459
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: the movies. It's obviously something I've thought about, you know,

460
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: is like the movies my parents owned, Like they owned

461
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 3: like forty movies on like vhs that they would like,

462
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 3: there was like three movies to a VHS. They would

463
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 3: tape them off TV yes when they came on, and like,

464
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: would you ever watch them? I did all the time.

465
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: And those movies are like cementing in my brain. I

466
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: know every word to every one. And I also bet

467
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 3: that if I like made a list of all those

468
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: movies they like directly correlate to the movies that I've

469
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: made since then basically like one, well, it's like Ghostbusters,

470
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: they and movies like that. My dad loved Bill Murray.

471

Speaker 3: They also loved like Woody Allen and like Independent like

472
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: they like they had like Hannah and Her Sisters and

473
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: like any halland movies like that, and I would watch

474
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: those movies a lot. And then they had like Albert

475
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 3: Brooks movies, and my dad loved Billy Crystal and so

476
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 3: like it was a lot of that stuff. And my

477
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: mom though, loved action movies, and so we had like

478
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 3: die Hard and Total reco and like Under Sage I

479
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: remember we had right when it came out, and Lef

480
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 3: a Weapon was like, it's like one of my mom's

481
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 3: favorite movies. And so I would watch these like emotionally

482
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 3: driven kind of comedy drama movies and like the most violent,

483
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 3: insane action movies. And that's kind of a lot of

484
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: the stuff we make now, Yeah, I see, yeah, And

485
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 3: so all those movies like we loved, and then when yeah,

486
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 3: and then when Paul fiction of those movies started to

487
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: come out, we became cessin Reservoir Dogs we loved and like,

488
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: and then we got really in a Sam Raimi and

489
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 3: Peter Jackson's early movies like Army of Darkness we watched

490
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 3: over and over and over again, and Dead Alive we watched.

491
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 3: We watched a lot and like, uh yeah, and then

492
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 3: to see those guys go on that was another thing.

493
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 3: Is like you'd see like, oh, like Sam Raimi's direct

494
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: and Spider Man and like these guys who like we

495
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: were already fans of for making like the weirdest shit ever,

496
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 3: we're then crossing over and becoming really successful and I

497
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 3: think making big things. And that was also I think

498
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 3: something we always liked and that was interesting to us.

499
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: But no, I mean we just like devoured.

500
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: The Vancouver have much of a social or nightlife because

501
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm almost thinking of I'm thinking that Vancouver

502
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: is almost like all right, what Minneapolis was to print, yeah,

503
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: and how there was a scene there, but because there's

504
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: not much to do. Yes, he had a lot of

505
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: time to hone his craft, yes, to do music a lot, yes,

506
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: And the weather determines staying in.

507
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: Vancouver is a city where people sit, like go to

508
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: someone's house and smoke weed. That's like the activity your

509
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: experience that is like what people do there or and

510
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 3: when it's nice out, you go to a not a

511
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: nature place and smoke weed. It's like a very like

512
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: weed was like super prevalent and like it's a huge

513
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 3: It's like one of the most progressive cities in the

514
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 3: world when it comes to weed, even in your in

515
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 3: the night. So you've never been arrested for the right.

516
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: When I moved to l A, I got arrested because

517
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: I didn't understand how much more strict it was, uh

518
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: than it was in Vancouver. Like all throughout high school,

519
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: if we got caught with weed, the cops wouldn't would

520
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: just take it. They wouldn't even always take it. They

521
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: would just be like go away, like like it was

522
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 3: such jewelow on priority, like on the priorities, because Vancouver

523
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: had like a terrible, terrible heroin problem and it was

524
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: like had a really rough drug problem. And so weed

525
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: very early on became deprioritized and decriminalized. And from when

526
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 3: I was a kid, there was a coffee shop you

527
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: could go smoke weed in, and there was like indoor

528
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: like places you go inside and smoke weed.

529
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: Seth you never know we would see I have.

530
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: But yeah, when I first moved to la we'd buy

531
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 3: pounds of Mexican weed. Wait, virgin here was I It

532
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 3: means lots of seeds and you Reggie, so.

533
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: It's call it Reggie regular weed. But to me, if

534
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: Vancouver has been in the hierarchy of the weed game,

535
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: I would just assume that, like and you're at a.

536
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: Good like hydroponic, you don't want to smoke the seeds.

537
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: Because you know it takes you. That's a sterile part to.

538
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 3: Wait, I don't know if that's true. Time out, I

539
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: don't know if there.

540
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I'm saying. Why is it taking

541
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: three years for me to really wait? How are you

542
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: just gonna let you come here and drink your milk?

543
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: Seeds?

544
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: Right? Parents smoke weed with seeds in them, and we

545
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: stole them. We have to pick them out, and it

546
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: pops and burns and seats and seats.

547
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: This leather falls out of the joint. Sometimes.

548
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: My dad's a cut all the time. God damn daddy,

549
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: always smoking in your car looking at them.

550
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 3: Hosy, I did that.

551
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: You started stand up at a young age?

552
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Fourteen? Yeah, thirteen or fourteen?

553
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So the only person I know they had the

554
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: experience with Chappelle.

555
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, how I think Eddie Murphy started around that. Yeah,

556
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: so happy much better. How do you.

557
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: How do you even negotiate your way into a club?

558
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? My mom helped, She would talk to She drove

559
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: me to every show, literally because I couldn't drive at Yeah,

560
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: And what's funny is very early on it's one of

561
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: those like happy coincidences. I did a show that I

562
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: did a fundraiser when I was like fourteen, a small

563
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 3: one that the premiere who's like the governor kind of

564
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: of British Columbia, was at and my mother cornered him

565
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 3: and was like, if my son's performing at a bar,

566
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: can he be in the bar? And the guy was like,

567
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 3: legally yes, And she caught his office to send a

568
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: letter wow, saying that as long as I was performing,

569
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: it is legal for me to be in the press

570
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: and I and I would have to leave right after.

571
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: So like I would sit backstage and I would show

572
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: it to the club. There was only four clubs anyway,

573
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: but once they had all seen it, they would let

574
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 3: me perform there. And and then I performed like regularly,

575
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: and I was like, I was like pretty good, Like

576
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: I wasn't what was it?

577
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: Check? Like ad age did you get a check?

578
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: Every once in a while, I would like open for

579
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 3: a comic and I'd get like one hundred and fifty

580
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 3: bucks or something like that, which when you're fucking.

581
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: But did you use did you use your your kiddom?

582
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: Did you use your youth?

583
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 3: I tried not to. I tried to. I would well,

584
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: at first, I didn't at all, and I because I

585
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: was so self conscious about being like gimmicky that I

586
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 3: would try to tell your fourteen I know, things like

587
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: the rocket as I was very neurotic, and I didn't

588
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: want to be like the kid comics, so I tried

589
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 3: to write jokes that that any comic would write that

590
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 3: were like more like observational humor, but it were you Blue.

591
00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: I was always wanted Blue. I didn't actually at first

592
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 3: at all. Also, but then I remember this comic Darryl Lennox,

593
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 3: who still does stand up and he's great. He was like,

594
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 3: I was telling you just like like all the cogs

595
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 3: would make fun of me because I had a joke about

596
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: like crazy glue, what's so crazy about it? And it

597
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 3: was like the dumb MISSI observational tumer of all time.

598
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 3: And then and then Darryl I remember like sat me

599
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 3: down and I was like fifteen, and he was like, dude,

600
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 3: like you are the only one of us who's like

601
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: experiencing all these things like in real time, Like you're

602
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: trying to kiss girls for the first time, you're trying

603
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: to get your driver's license, you're trying to buy beer,

604
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: you're trying to go to parties, you're trying to sneak

605
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: into strip clubs, like right. Jokes about that, like that's

606
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: something that like everyone's gone through in some way and

607
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 3: you're living it like right now, and and I was

608
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 3: like okay. And then that was also one of the

609
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 3: things that really influenced Super Bad, where we at first

610
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 3: it was more like let's write a high school movie,

611
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: and then we were like, no, let's write like whenever

612
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: something happens to us, let's put it in the movie,

613
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 3: and let's make us the characters in the movie, and

614
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: let's like structure it around.

615
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: So those things happened to you guys in super.

616
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: Bed, not on in one night, but almost a lot

617
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: of the stuff in the movie happened, yeah, like in

618
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: some form or another, like.

619
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: And everything you grind it up against the girl, and that.

620
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: Happened at a school dance. Yeah, that that that actually

621
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 3: And in real life, I was one of the guys,

622
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: Like it played out almost verbatim as it did in

623
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: the movie, except one of our friends was the Jodah

624
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: character in real life, and I was one of the

625
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: guys who was like what is that? Like what's on

626
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 3: your leg there? And that's what happened. And so, yeah,

627
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: it was a school dance and we all put our

628
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: stuff in like the locker roob in like the Jym

629
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 3: locker roob like before, and we were getting it after

630
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: the dance and yeah, and like one of our friends

631
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 3: was like, did you spill it yourself? We were there

632
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 3: like looking at it and then and then what happened?

633
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 3: And we kind of allude to this to the movies.

634
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: We noticed on the other side of the locker room

635
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 3: there was another group of guys having the exact same

636
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: conversation and they were all like looking at their friend's

637
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: legs pokagaping like what is that? Did you spill? I mean,

638
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 3: like the two groups like locked eyes from across the

639
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 3: room and it was like this, guys are so like

640
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 3: moment bro. It was like, oh no, I think we

641
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 3: have a situation on our hands. And then there was

642
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: a lot of like cross referencing who they had danced with, and.

643
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: Wait, I got a preface for two people who haven't

644
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: seen Super Bad. There's there's a crucial scene where there's

645
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: a dance sort of grindy dance moment in which a

646
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: girl rubs her crouch on Jonah Hill's I think it's pronounced.

647
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,839
Speaker 3: I forgot it's inside yea.

648
00:34:54,920 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm una bekno to Jonah Hill. His thighs or

649
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: his jeans are now maroon five. Yes, they got period

650
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: of their bloody period.

651
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: It happened. Oh wait, you're just getting that now.

652
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 2: I just remember I thought he I couldn't remember on himself.

653
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 3: Or also on the table that was long shot almost.

654
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 2: You know.

655
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: My favorite my favorite thing about I visit a lot

656
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: of local comedy houses in New York. My favorite thing

657
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: is actually watching uh people bomb NFL. No, no, only

658
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: because like now I'm entering the stage of my life

659
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna have to give a lot more public addressing.

660
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: And it's always how you handle yourself in that moment

661
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: that separates the men from the boys. So a lot

662
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: of times, like if you watch, if you go to

663
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: like I love going to the store in LA when

664
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: it's the like the one am show, the very last show,

665
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: and usually like the last three people's are always like

666
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: the doorman, the bell guy, like okay, I'll let you

667
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: go up and do five minutes, like everyone's left the room.

668
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I performed there at that time when I was

669
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 3: like sixteen years old.

670
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: Because I feel in my mind that whenever I'm watching them,

671
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: then I believe at one point either not Jerard Carmichael,

672
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: who's the guy that I liked, America's Yea, Jamar Nighbors

673
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: was one of those guys and he's hilarious, like he's

674
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: one of Jerrod Carmichael's dudes. But like it's always the

675
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: last three people on the late the graveyard shift that

676
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 1: I love watching them the most to see how they

677
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 1: adjust to it. Have you, when you were in sort

678
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: of developing your skills or whatnot, have you ever had

679
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: to resort to what they would call the what's the syndrome?

680
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: Like aristocrat syndrome or when you know that you've done

681
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: a bad set and you're just performing for your buds, like, yeah,

682
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: I fucked up in always did everyone do the aristocrats?

683
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 3: It was at another thing where I never did that specifically,

684
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 3: but there was I mean, yeah, shit would go bad

685
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 3: and they would and there would be times yeah, where

686
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: you would just kind of throw it all out and

687
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: it was like, uh yeah. Like I think managing the

688
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: audience's discomfort is something that is a lesson that I

689
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 3: learned at a young age, and that like you can

690
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 3: carry with you across many different avenues of life, and

691
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: I think that that's something that is very valuable. And

692
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 3: I did it, Yeah, I remember doing But my friends

693
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 3: could never come watch me though, because I was a

694
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 3: kid and they weren't allowed it to the club, so

695
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 3: it was always strangers. But I had times when just

696
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: group tablesful adults would get up and leave. It was

697
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 3: terrible and they I remember performing at the Impro. I

698
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: remember coming la to audition for the Just for Last

699
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 3: Festival when I was like fifteen and going to the

700
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 3: improv and Jerry Seinfeld decided to drop in at the

701
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 3: Just for Last stand up comedy showcase went on right

702
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: before me fucking annihilated.

703
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: Hey when that happened, When the big star comes in,

704
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, I'm want to practice that.

705
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 3: Comedy show Yes on a fucking showcase.

706
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: Did you ever get to tell Jerry what he did

707
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: to you?

708
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: Yes, he could not have been more indifferent. And then

709
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 3: I went up after him, and I literally, like to

710
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 3: this day, remember standing on the stage and it being

711
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 3: so quiet. I could hear the electric hum of the

712
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: s and I'd been doing set up for years at

713
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 3: that point and I had never heard that sound. Remember

714
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 3: like thinking to myself like, wow, like have the speaker's

715
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 3: always been making that sound and I just haven't heard it?

716
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 3: Or do these ones have like a particularly loud I

717
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 3: just remember hearing like I was like, oh that's a

718
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: new one. Yeah. It was brutal. So at the time

719
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 3: I didn't get into the just for last est.

720
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: So Jerry, yes, could you explain how you got inside

721
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: of the I guess the mafia of the what I

722
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: call the app Townia MAFIAU.

723
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was all I. I was doing

724
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 3: stand up and I got an agent through stand up.

725
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: And I was like sixteen or seventeen until high school

726
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: was like going to end, and I like was not

727
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 3: going to go to college. So I was like, I

728
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 3: should I need money so I should start trying to

729
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: audition for things. And my plan if you asked me

730
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 3: that point when my plan was I'll be like, oh,

731
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 3: I'll move to LA after high school and I'll try

732
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 3: to do stand up.

733
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: And so you wanted to be a straight up stand

734
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: up comment, Yeah, And.

735
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 3: Then I thought maybe I'll get like on like a

736
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 3: sitcom that was kind of like the only precedent of

737
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,399
Speaker 3: that in that time. That was like the thing that

738
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: seemed the most achievable because it was like Seinfeld was on,

739
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: like everybody loves Raymond and Martin like that. Like at

740
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: the time, it seemed like if you were a successful

741
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 3: stand up, you got a sitcom. And I always liked

742
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: movies more and so that was always something that I

743
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 3: like wanted, but it wasn't as like it didn't seem

744
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 3: it seemed like the types of movies I wanted to

745
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 3: make at that time especially were like very small independent movies,

746
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 3: and at that time, Super Bad seemed like it would

747
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 3: be like like Rushmore, you know what I mean, like

748
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: not in its artfulness, but just in its scope, you know.

749
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 3: And I think that then I moved. So I auditioned

750
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: for Freaking Geeks. Was a second audition I got out

751
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 3: sent out on and the auditioned kids out of Vancouver

752
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 3: like they did international. Wait, you all were from Vancouver. No,

753
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 3: they did international, So they auditioned in New York, in

754
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 3: Chicago and Boston and Toronto and Vancouver, and I like,

755
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: I went in for an audition one morning in Vancouver

756
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 3: and and then I got it. And then I moved

757
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 3: to LA and uh, the same people I watched.

758
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: I watched that show in the first man, don't let

759
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: people I know people now like to revision it like yo, man,

Speaker 1: freaking gigs with my ship.

761
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: Man.

Speaker 3: Yeah?

765
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: Well I watched it because during the time of us recording,

766
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: Uh do you want more?

767
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, there was always a TV on the break.

768
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

769
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: So that's how I remember freaking geeks. That was my favorite.

770
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: I thought, oh man, this is way better than my

Speaker 3: no concept of any of that shit. Like I remember being.

779
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: Like, you're in a business man, yet I just didn't.

780
00:41:54,480 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 3: I think I was so I was. I was really confident,

781
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 3: and I felt like everything like when someone's like your's

782
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 3: everyone loves your show, like it has one hundred percent

783
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: good reviews, I was like, yeah, it's fucking great, like

784
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 3: like it wasn't like really, it was like, of course

785
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 3: we're putting out great shit, like there's nothing like this

786
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: on TV, like of course everyone like and if anything,

787
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 3: that made it more frustrating that no one was watching it,

788
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: because like we knew it was good. And that's like

789
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 3: I look back on and think, like I didn't even

790
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 3: think of the quality of the show when I went

791
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 3: and did it, like I it could have been the world.

792
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 3: Like I was just like a job, I'll take it.

793
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: And then I remember getting to la and to shoot

794
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: the pilot, and it wasn't even until then that I

795
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 3: got the full script, like the day before we started filming,

796
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 3: and then I remember reading it and being like, oh,

797
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: there's like jokes about shrooms in here and shit like that.

798
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 3: And then we rehearsed for one day and they were

799
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 3: like what would you say here? And then all of

800
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: a sudden, we were improvising and they were letting us

801
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: add jokes about Hitler and all this stuff, and we

802
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 3: were like, this is really different. And then when we

803
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 3: started shooting it, we were like again, Like the director

804
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: was from the independent film world, Jake Kasden had just

805
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: made Zero Effect, which was a movie I was a

806
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: big fan of. So it was like, oh, yeah, we

807
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 3: have like these writers and directors who were like doing

808
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: the exact stuff that I liked. So when it turned

809
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 3: out great, it was like again I was So I

810
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 3: was really like spoiled at that time because I was

811
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 3: just like, yeah, you make something a Chrystmas.

812
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: Together, Like, Oh, the creator the Larry Sanders Show has

813
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: this new knew that.

814
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 3: But I didn't. Again, I didn't realize I think, how

815
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 3: like I didn't realize a how just because you did

816
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: something good before it doesn't mean you'll keep doing things

817
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 3: that everyone appreciates. Like I was a fan of the

818
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 3: Larry Sanders Show, a huge fan and grew up watching it,

819
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: and but I didn't like I think when I took

820
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: the when I first got cast on the show, I

821
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 3: had no idea jud it even I didn't know Judge

822
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 3: was I know Judd worked on the Larry Sanders Show.

823
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: There was no IMDb at this time. There was no

824
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 3: way to look up who you were working with. Yeah,

825
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: like I had no idea the internet. Yeah, there was

826
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 3: no like work. Maybe there's IMDb, but I didn't know

827
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 3: how to use it. Yeah, there was no like organized

828
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 3: way of checking any of that ship.

829
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: This is like and did Jane Franklin didn't even hit

830
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: the soap shit right?

831
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 3: Like no, it was like no one had done anything.

832
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: And so yeah it was. But then it started airing

833
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 3: as we were shooting, and then they just were like,

834
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 3: no one's watching this ship. And it was on Saturday

835
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 3: night at eight or some shit like that against cops.

836
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 3: I remember just like joking like cops beats us. We're

837
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 3: fucked and they cops beat us, and it was like, oh.

838
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: No, So when you gunny about Undeclared, no, because again

839
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: I was did you feel like, okay, well we'll do

840
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 1: a better version.

841
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, this time, will do like a

842
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 3: more commercial version and we kind of work out the

843
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 3: kinks and like again it was like the exact same

844
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: thing happened where it was like very critically acclaimed and

845
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 3: then no one watched it. But but that but I was.

846
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 3: I was thrilled, honestly, like a writer and an actor.

847
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 3: On Undeclared, I was eighteen years old, like it was.

848
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 3: You know, it was like a very exciting thing for

849
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 3: me to be doing.

850
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: So, Uh, how hard is it living hand to mouth

851
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: in that period?

852
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 2: Because are you well he never had a did you

853
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 2: ever have a regular job or anyone?

854
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 3: I after undeclared, I didn't work for like three or

855
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:27,240
Speaker 3: four years. Basically, what did you do? I fucking spent

856
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 3: very little money, but you still a server and I

857
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 3: would help. Jud was very nice and he would get

858
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 3: these super high priced rewriting jobs and then he would

859
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,960
Speaker 3: give me a little bitter to help him do it.

860
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 3: So like I helped rewrite Bad Boys Too. As an example,

861
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 3: time wait, time out. First of all, shut app it's out. Yes,

862
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 3: it's like a secret thing. We wrote that joke, and

863
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 3: that was in the trailer where they're singing the song

864
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: and they forget the war, they like don't know the world.

865
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and yeah it was like, yeah, that was

866
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 3: one of the many things we did so maintenance. So

867
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 3: what else did you do? Little things here and there?

868
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: Like uh, one of the Big Mama's House movies I

869
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 3: helped on for a few days.

870
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,919
Speaker 2: Wait, so stop in this moment because I was saying

871
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 2: this because I know my whole family gonna get mad

872
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 2: at me. But in this moment, are you understanding your

873
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: white funny man because you know that you are like

874
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: you like, this is a seriously it's a serious question.

875
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: Like nobody else. If you hear the struggles of other

876
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 2: comedians and things of other colors, women, da da da da,

877
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 2: there is never a moment where they haven't had to

878
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: like serve or do something that they didn't want to do.

879
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: But it seems like since you were fourteen years old,

880
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 2: you was on it. You needed final draft, you had it,

881
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: you needed the camera, you had it. You this is

882
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: any moment did you realize this?

883
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 3: I was super, Yes, I was. I was very Yeah,

Speaker 3: was very fortunate and like and and got that. Yeah,

887
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 3: I mean there was a time when I was maybe

888
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 3: gonna like there was a momentere I was like, I

889
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 3: might have to move back to Vancouver because I was

890
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 3: just running out of money and couldn't afford to live

891
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 3: in la anymore. And that's when I got hired on

892
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 3: the Algy Show. And that like continued that like yeah,

893
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,360
Speaker 3: and it was like a great. It was like a

894
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 3: great job to have because like it was even it

895
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: was like it sounded great in a room, Like it

896
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 3: was like when we went on meetings and we were like, oh,

897
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: we got yeah, we got nominated for Emmys. That was great.

898
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,760
Speaker 3: Like it was something that like basically I haven't stopped

899
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 3: working since that. It was like that was like the

900
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 3: thing that kind of kept me.

901
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: Going because his because his brand of comedy sasa very cornant,

902
00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: because he's such a rogue, yeah, kind of archy comedian.

903
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: How do you find his voice?

904
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 3: Like how do you?

905
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: It was like, and the type of stuff he does

906
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: is more strolling.

907
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 3: It was kind of it was hard, and I think

908
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 3: he liked and I think it was good that we

909
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 3: were so young and malleable at this time when we

910
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 3: were working for him, like we were like twenty two

911
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 3: or something like that, and so like he could really

912
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: I think without some of like the kid gloves you

913
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 3: would use with older people, being like here's what you

914
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 3: have to do, here's what we do. Do exactly fucking

915
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,359
Speaker 3: this and nothing else, forget everything, you know, just do this.

916
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 3: So he likes like yeah, and and and he would

917
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 3: literally lock us in a room and be like write

918
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 3: two hundred interview questions for me to be an interviewing

919
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,200

00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 3: come out of that room till you've written me two

921
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:53,640

00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 2: Well he did.

923
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, we came on for Bruno and then we went

924

Speaker 3: on the road with him. We went to spring Break,

925
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 3: we did other spring break stuff with Bruno. It was insane.

926
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 3: He almost got killed.

927
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: What happens when you go to.

928
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 3: Uh like Daytona Beach. Yeah, it was crazy. What's funny

929
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 3: is I had to kind of hide because I was

930
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 3: not famous, but I was like one in every hundred.

931
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 3: People knew me from freaks and geeks, and so I

932
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 3: was kind of had to like I was like relegated

933
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 3: to the hotel room because like they were. He was

934
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 3: just like the chance that someone sees you and puts

935
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 3: two and two together is like two great. So, like

936
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: we would travel from city to city and me and

937
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: Evan would literally just sit in a hotel room and

938
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 3: whatever city we were in and like Andy, they come

939
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 3: back Elast, yeah exactly. And they would come back and

940
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 3: they would show us the footage and what they had

941
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,960
Speaker 3: done that day, and we would all just laugh hysterically

942
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: and be amazed that they hadn't gotten killed and like

943
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,720
Speaker 3: it was, uh, it was fun. Yeah, it was great. Wow.

944
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,240
Speaker 1: All right, So I have so many questions about your movies,

945
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,879
Speaker 1: but I'm afraid we'll do just get stuck in one

946
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: of them.

947
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 3: One but this is it?

948
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, well, I mean there's so many, but I

949
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:15,160
Speaker 1: will say that for you know, forty year old Virgin

950
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: was to me like, how how much input are you

951
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 1: given for scripts? Or how open is Judd to having

952
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: you guys adjust the comedy? The way that it looked,

953
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 1: it almost seemed like this got to be on the

954
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: spot and he just say keep the cameras rolling.

955
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 3: A lot of improvised Yeah, I was, I would say,

956
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 3: like because super Bad had been written and no one

957
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 3: would make it. And same with Pineapple Express. So you

958
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 3: was still shopping it actively and me and Evan and

959
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 3: my especially because Evan was in college at the time

960
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: and wasn't there all the time. Like I was always like,

961
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: people want to see a movie where people talk like this,

962
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 3: like more than anything. That's what I had a strong

963
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 3: feeling of, was like they want a comedy where people

964
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 3: where it's conversational and not so like Plucky and jokey,

965
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 3: and it just feels like people talking, they're swearing a lot,

966
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 3: and and and like it's like taking like again because

967
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: we grew up loving pulp fiction and clerks, and we

968
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 3: were just like, if you can really gear that towards

969
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 3: like comedy and like in a great way. And and

970
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 3: since no one would make super Bad Judd like and

971
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: me and him together thought that if we could make

972
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 3: these the guys who work in the store kind of

973
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,879
Speaker 3: be almost like a it's almost almost like a weird

974
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 3: testing ground for like that type of conversational comedy, whereas

975
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: Corel's character was this like sweet kind of like island

976
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 3: in the middle of the movie. We were like, if

977
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 3: we can make these guys like, why don't we try

978
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 3: this where we improvise and have it be very conversational

979
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: and you guys can swear a lot and say all

980
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 3: the sick shit you say to each other that makes

981
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 3: each other laugh behind the scenes, but we never say

982
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 3: it on camera, always like that's too much, that's too crazy,

983
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: or people won't like that. But we were like, what

984
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 3: if we do that on camera, you know? And that

985
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,680
Speaker 3: was really like the first time that any of us

986
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,839
Speaker 3: had done that. I think, like it was they had

987
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 3: done Anchorman where it was it was different though, because

988
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 3: the movie is tonally not real, so like it's not

989
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 3: They improvised a lot, but it wasn't like actual conversations

990
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 3: because it's like under this umbrella of like a false reality,

991
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 3: you know. But this was the first time where it

992
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 3: was literally like you can just say whatever you think

993
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: you would say in this situation and there's no rating,

994
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 3: like and we had never played in that environment before

995
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 3: and it was really the first time where we were

996
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 3: all like, oh, we can really let it rip. And

997
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 3: I remember the I had improvised that thing about going

998
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: to Tijuana and like seeing a woman fucking a horse,

999
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 3: and it's like it's like he comes into the or

1000
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 3: he comes it's like Corell comes into work and he

1001
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 3: explained making an egg salad sandwich and he's like, what

1002
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 3: you do this weekend? I'm like, why I went to Tijuaana.

1003
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 3: We went to see this woman horse and like it

1004
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 3: was not that cool, Like it was kind of gross,

1005
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 3: and I remember like and it was like pretty. It

1006
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 3: was like on the scale of like the types of

1007
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 3: things people were saying in movies at that time, on

1008
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 3: like the very far end of the spectrum.

1009
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 1: Which is why I asked you about the Aristocrats exactly.

1010
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so that and we were just making each

1011
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 3: other laugh. And I remember before the first screening we

1012
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 3: were like, if people like, if that works, then like

1013
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,919
Speaker 3: then we're fine. Like then all these instincts we have

1014
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 3: of like what people want might be right. And I

1015
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 3: remember like it was like like on like that moment

1016
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 3: was like a life changing moment in many ways, like

1017
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 3: sitting in the theater when that part came on for

1018
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 3: the first time and seeing the audience just like explode

1019
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 3: in laughter, and like you could see it was just

1020
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 3: like shocking to them, but all so funny and also

1021
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 3: felt kind of real. And I remember so many people

1022
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 3: come up to me after we came out and be like,

1023
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 3: you remind me so much of a guy I used

1024
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 3: to work with, And you remind me so much of

1025
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 3: this weirdo who was in the back room at this

1026
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 3: place I would go to and like and and and

1027
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,760
Speaker 3: you could see that we were kind of like tapping

1028
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 3: into this like relatable form of comedy that people you

1029
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,280
Speaker 3: know at that time. It was like Dumb and Dumber,

1030
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 3: which I love, like it is one of my favorite

1031
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 3: movies ever. But it is not relatable, naturalistic conversational comedy.

1032
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's huge, crazy gags and very specifically like

1033
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: written in staged bits right and very smart.

1034
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 2: Can I just give you credit to for putting an

1035
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 2: actor in their lesser known name, Evin Hart, Kevin Hart,

1036
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 2: the dude Jared, I want to say his name, right, Jerry,

1037
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: He's funny. The East Indian guy who's just stopped everyway?

1038
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 3: Is he okay? He is? Okay? The other guy not okay? Yeah,

1039
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 3: I was like, Jerry's fine.

1040
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:10,800
Speaker 2: The one that was working in the store that was

1041
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:11,879
Speaker 2: kept saying nasty ship.

1042
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 3: Yes, what's funny about the guy who mixed up with

1043
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 3: the other guy? Not the other guy who might still

1044
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 3: be in jail. He is in jail, yes, okay, okay, okay, yeah,

1045
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 3: making sure he making sure Rry's great. Yeah, Kevin Hart

1046
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: was great. Attempted he did succeed, though, Damn damn.

1047
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: It's a shame that happened, because murder is bad and

1048
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: I do not like murder.

1049
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 3: You know, the conversations on the South when you have

1050
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 3: to explain that your feeling is murderers back. Let me

1051
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 3: just clarify murders back.

1052
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: So what I succeeding.

1053
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 3: What I want to ask is.

1054
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 1: When you got the pitch, When you got the pitch

1055
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: for forty old Virgin, Yeah, I'm when you got the

1056
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:01,279
Speaker 1: pitch for knocked Up?

1057
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 3: Yes?

1058
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: How is it pitched to you so that you wouldn't

1059
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: take it personally? Because the thing is because because the

1060
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: underhand tone of what knocked Up really is is we're

1061
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna pair this hot.

1062
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 3: Girl yeah with like you, I told you it's something.

1063
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 3: It's a joke. I was it. I appreciate you because

1064
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 3: you I was in on the joke, right. That's the thing.

1065
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 1: How do you not do the person I.

1066
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 3: Think and what I always I would actually think of that?

1067
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 3: Like one of the first other pieces of advice a

1068
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 3: stand up comic game. Me when I was like thirteen,

1069
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 3: was like whatever, he what's funny is this stand up

1070
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 3: comic looked exactly like Garth from Wayne's World. Like he

1071
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 3: was like a super skinny dude with long blonde hair

1072
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 3: and glasses. And he was like whatever. He's like, you

1073
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,760
Speaker 3: have to let the audience know that you are self

1074
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 3: aware or they'll be uncomfortable. And he's like, so, if

1075
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 3: there's something about you that reads very obviously like don't

1076
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 3: ignore that thing, like let them know you are more

1077
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 3: aware of it than they could ever imagine. And he

1078
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 3: was like, he's like, my whole opening five minutes is

1079
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 3: about that I look like Garth, Like I fucking get it.

1080
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: And so I was always aware that I came across

1081
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 3: as like a schlubby, kind of stonery loser, and I

1082
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 3: was not. I wasn't in any way way self conscious

1083
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 3: about representing myself like that because I knew I was

1084
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 3: not that you got super confidence. I was too highly productive.

1085
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 3: I could date women like that that were that were

1086
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 3: well out of my league on a physical level. I

1087
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 3: I like, I had a job, I was gaining I

1088
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 3: had a nice apartment, I had nice car, like I

1089
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 3: was like at that point, like getting successful, you know.

1090
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 3: So it was not it was funny to me. And

1091
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 3: I remember jud we kept pitching these like crazy movies,

1092
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: mean and we were trying to make Pineapple Express Man

1093
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: like I want a big action movie, and he was

1094
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 3: like that, like he's like, you first just have to

1095
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 3: make something that like establishes who you are in the

1096
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 3: most like normal, relatable type of setting. And he just

1097
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: said it conversationally one day. It was literally like like

1098
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 3: like if you got a girl pregnant on the first

1099
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 3: date or something like, that's the type of movie we

1100
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 3: should make. And it was one of those things where

1101
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, we actually could, That's actually a

1102
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 3: really good idea. What would that be like like? And

1103
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 3: him and his wife had got pregnant very early on

1104
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 3: in their relationship, and I think had to make some

1105
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 3: quick decisions as to whether or not they were going

1106
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 3: to kind of stay together and give it a go,

1107
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 3: you know, are just or what the just what the

1108
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: dynamics of the relationship were going to be, you know

1109
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: what I mean. I think they weren't planning on having

1110
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 3: a kid at that time. From my understanding, yes, exactly.

1111
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 3: Leslie's great, yeah, very funny, and so it was Yeah,

1112
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 3: so it was personal. It was personal to me because

1113
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 3: and I think the way that we were able to

1114
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 3: represent my living situation especially was highly personal to me.

1115
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 3: And all the roommates and and all those guys were

1116
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 3: actually my friends, and I actually had lived with almost

1117
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 3: all of them at one point or another, and so

1118
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 3: like it did seem like I really yeah, yeah, I

1119
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 3: was totally happy with it and thought I would be

1120
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 3: funny with it, you know, And there was a thing

1121
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 3: where I was just I remember being like, oh, I

1122
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 3: can just make this guy like worse and worse and

1123
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 3: worse and like just dumber and dumber and dumber. And

1124
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 3: it's almost like the Bower inappropriate, like the worst thing

1125
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 3: I could say on a date almost is like the

1126
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 3: funnier the whole movie becomes. So yeah, wow.

1127
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 2: Okay, did you and Catherinehige who ever circle back and

1128
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 2: become besties?

1129
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 3: No, we've run into each other, but yeah, I have

1130
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 3: no Yeah, I wish you the best. Get that?

1131
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean okay, well I guess I'll ask.

1132
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 3: Okay, you don't have.

1133
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,720
Speaker 1: No, no, No, it's not that I'm just saying that, is.

1134
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 3: There ever a fear? Okay?

1135
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: I go to thirty University and all that entails, you know,

1136
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: so I'm in in the io stormly is it's it's

1137
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: a university, sess. And now it's a big giant campus.

1138
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: In cathedral to which entertainment is built.

1139
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: So when you're how hard is it, in your opinion,

1140
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: how hard is it for women to get a seat

1141
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: at the table.

1142
01:00:25,520 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 3: Insanely hard, way harder, And.

1143
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 1: In light of what's happening now and how comedy sort

1144
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: of has to re examine itself.

1145
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 7: And what was cool in.

1146
01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: Two thousand and six might get a raised eyebrow.

1147
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 3: Now, how has that eighteen we get a raised eyebrow

1148
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 3: out right?

1149
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So how does that affect not not how does

1150
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: it affect your world, but how does it affect the

1151
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: creative process? The fraternity process?

1152
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 2: Is a woman in the in the team.

1153
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:03,360
Speaker 3: We have women on our team.

1154
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: But are you more or is it the climate right

1155
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: now in Hollywood?

1156
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 7: Are they super aware of it?

1157
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,800
Speaker 3: Now? They say they are, But I don't think a

1158
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 3: lot has changed. And if you look at the movies

1159
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 3: that come out, almost all of them are made by

1160
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:25,840
Speaker 3: white dudes, like you know, like it's very like not

1161
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 3: that the actual like decision to spend hundreds of millions

1162
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 3: of dollars in a new social direction has not happened.

1163
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,000
Speaker 3: I don't think. I think people are talking about it,

1164
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 3: and it's like a topic of conversation that's a fun

1165
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 3: for people to say. And I think there's they're like

1166
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 3: inching towards that. But have I seen, like, oh, all

1167
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 3: of a sudden if you look at the slate of

1168
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 3: every major studio and they're all more equally distributed between

1169
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 3: men and women.

1170
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 2: No, that's not the case at all women.

1171
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 3: But yeah, and I think that that. But I think

1172
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 3: for us, I think we're lucky with comedy for us

1173
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 3: because we never like pedaled in that I don't think

1174
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 3: like we never pedled in something that I would have

1175
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 3: considered to be Like, you know, I think our comedy like,

1176
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 3: I'm never complaining that, like about like people being PC

1177
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 3: or like we can't say the stuff that we want

1178
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 3: to be able to say. Like to me, that is

1179
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,840
Speaker 3: like not an issue, and like you're either the type

1180
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 3: of person that like you want your you know, your

1181
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 3: work reflects who you are no matter what, and so

1182
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 3: if you have your sensibilities trying to be in the

1183
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 3: right place at any given moment, then your work will

1184
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 3: reflect that. And I've found myself not really having to

1185
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,920
Speaker 3: defend that much of what I've done in the moment

1186
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 3: that it has come out. I acknowledge that again a

1187
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 3: week later, you look back and you're like, WHOA, that's

1188
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 3: age poorly sometimes you know, like, yeah, I think there's

1189
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 3: jokes and sausage party that like twenty four hours after

1190
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 3: it came out, we're inappropriate. So maybe twenty four hours

1191
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 3: before it came out, But I think that you know,

1192
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 3: we we try not to be offensive, we try not

1193
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 3: to exclude people in our work. We try to be

1194
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 3: inclusive as possible, and and and we ourselves are those

1195
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 3: types of people. So it isn't this like chore to

1196
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 3: weave that into our work.

1197
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 1: And so I do just know that people now are

1198
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:32,040
Speaker 1: hyper aware that that has to happen or that has

1199
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: to be a thing, Whereas you know before you don't think, like, okay,

1200
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: it might be inclusive. Am I infending this group or

1201
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: that group?

1202
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 3: I think, I think anything we're trying to be aware

1203
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 3: of for the last few years. And I think Neighbors

1204
01:03:43,960 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 3: is the first movie that we really made really trying

1205
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 3: to go into it acknowledging that traditionally, especially that type

1206
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 3: of relationship that mean rose, like a husband wife relationship

1207
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 3: in a movie is like always done as certain way,

1208
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 3: and we had to not do that, and like it's

1209
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 3: always based on the fact that they hate each other

1210
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 3: and that they're not happy, and that there's all this

1211
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 3: conflict in their relationship and that she's fucking lame most

1212
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 3: of the time and that like he's like the carefree,

1213
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 3: fun one and she's and like so that was I

1214
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 3: think the and it was before all this, you know,

1215
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 3: all the current you know kind of revelations that are happening.

1216
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 3: But even then we were like, just how do we

1217
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 3: not do this in a lame way, you know? And

1218
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 3: how do we And also like, we want the actors

1219
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 3: in the movie to be proud and happy with their work.

1220
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 3: And I think as someone who is both an actor

1221
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 3: and a writer and a director and a producer like I,

1222
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 3: I I understand what all those jobs entail, and I

1223
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 3: understand what it takes to make all the people doing

1224
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 3: those jobs feel like they're really doing something that they

1225
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 3: can be proud of and happy with. And that's something

1226
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 3: that was just started to become very important when I

1227
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 3: started to realize, like, oh, like, if we cast Rose

1228
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 3: Byrne in this role, we have to make it good

1229
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 3: and funny, and we have to make her excited to

1230
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 3: come into work every day, and we have to make

1231
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 3: it that when she leaves work at the end of

1232
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 3: the day, she really felt like she was as funny

1233
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 3: as anyone else and given the opportunity to be as

1234
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 3: funny as anyone else. So wait, not like she was

1235
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 3: told like you tell us to shut up as we

1236
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 3: say funny shit over here, you know, what I mean, how.

1237
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: Does that work? Okay, so how does that work? Like

1238
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: break it down like we're in third grade? Yeah, all right,

1239
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: So if you're heading a project, yeah, and you have

1240
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: to write for a specific character that you might not

1241
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: really have put a lot of effort or you know,

1242
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 1: like what's their background? And first of all, when you

1243
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: write for a character or write for a movie, does

1244
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: each character have to have their own bio in your mind?

1245
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 3: Like to some degree I think, like backstory? Yeah, I

1246
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 3: think to some degree, I think it's it depends on

1247
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 3: how in like what's funny is like in this is

1248
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 3: the end? Like none of us really have any backstory.

1249
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: We're kind of just who you assume we are and

1250
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 3: you slowly and the emotional conflicts are very of the moment.

1251
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 3: It's based on you know, the word, you're seeing it

1252
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 3: play out in real time basically so. But in general, yes,

1253
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 3: like some sense of backstory is is helpful and the

1254
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 3: more you can think of, the more it's probably good.

1255
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 3: But for I think for something like Neighbors, the conversations

1256
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 3: were literally like how do we create a plot and

1257
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 3: a flow of events where that isn't contingent on these

1258
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 3: two characters having conflict with one another and instead is

1259
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 3: contingent on these two characters really being on the same

1260
01:06:35,040 --> 01:06:39,400
Speaker 3: team as one another, and right away that allowed both

1261
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 3: characters to be outrageous and silly and stupid, and neither

1262
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 3: one was trying to control the other. If anything, they

1263
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:49,000
Speaker 3: were always like encouraging the other to do stupid or

1264
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 3: and stupider shit kind of. And so it's more understanding

1265
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 3: the dynamics going in and what the result that will produce.

1266
01:06:58,080 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 3: So it's like, if we go into the movie with

1267
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 3: this dynamic, the result will be this, And if we

1268
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 3: go and do it this typynamic, the result will be this.

1269
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 3: And so that's something we were aware of, is like,

1270
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 3: if we want the result to be this, the dynamic

1271
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 3: has to be very specific going into it, you know,

1272
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 3: And that that's what we tried to do.

1273
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: So kind of a three part question. Yeah, all right, Now,

1274
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 1: in your career, what is your preference would you rather

1275
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: lean towards directing a project or writing a project, to

1276
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: give to someone else to direct or what I would

1277
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 1: just say blind job, as in doing a project that

1278
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: you neither had no directing or no hand in writing it.

1279
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 3: I do that less and less, like I don't act

1280
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 3: in a lot of other people's movies, and I don't

1281
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 3: get asked to do a lot of other people's movies. Vehicles,

1282
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:06,439
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly, But yeah, so it happens, and I do

1283
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 3: do it. Sometimes I think what I'm what I really

1284
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 3: enjoy is writing something with the hopes that I will

1285
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 3: direct it and act in it, which has happened.

1286
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 7: You want to wear all three hats?

1287
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is a nightmare. No, it's it's almost at a weird.

1288
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 3: Thing We've also found is, in some ways, the more

1289
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 3: control we have over something and the more jobs we

1290
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 3: are filling, the less stressful it ultimately is because most

1291
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 3: of our stress comes from fear that other people are

1292
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 3: going to fuck our ship up. And so as long

1293
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 3: as we are controlling it, I'm not that worried. I'm

1294
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 3: more worried is the director going to ruin this thing?

1295
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: So that leads to this leads to.

1296
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 3: What have you learned? What?

1297
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: What have you learned about?

1298
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 3: Actually?

1299
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I want to do too, what have you learned about?

1300
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Green Hornet and the Simpsons? Which I think for comedy

1301
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: writer is sort of like this this honor of Wow,

1302
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing it, I'm telling a Simpsons episode. Yeah, so

1303
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: what lessons have you learned in those two instances that

1304
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: you would have changed now or made you wiser? Yeah,

1305
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean Green Hornet was and I'm not a no, no,

1306
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: no iconic kid.

1307
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, it's not really Like I think a few

1308
01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 3: things when I look back at that. One is I

1309
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:27,799
Speaker 3: really overestimated like our control at that point in our careers.

1310
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 3: Like I think that at that point we had kind

1311
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:33,599
Speaker 3: of always been able to do whatever we wanted, you know,

1312
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 3: And I didn't predict how much a bigger budget, like,

1313
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 3: but all the movies we'd made at that point were

1314
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 3: like twenty thirty million dollars. In Green Hornet was like

1315
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty million dollars. And I didn't quite

1316
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 3: predict what that hundred million dollars would do to the

1317
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 3: process and how before I would we literally wouldn't talk

1318
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 3: to the studio. Ever, all of a sudden, we were

1319
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 3: having meetings where we go through like every page of

1320
01:09:56,400 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 3: the script basically, and how like destructive that was to

1321
01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 3: the process and how Yeah, and like the biggest, the

1322
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 3: biggest thing was was like we had an idea going

1323
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 3: into it that was slowly like completely you know, deconstructed

1324
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 3: and built into something else. And it's one of those

1325
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 3: things that happened so slowly that like.

1326
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: So they took yeah, and then said, well, we need

1327
01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: to change this to make this.

1328
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 3: The exactly what if we did this, Oh, we need

1329
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 3: a big actor for this role, and what about this,

1330
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 3: and we need this and like but then.

1331
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: With Condri directing, Yeah, whom I thought.

1332
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 3: Would be good, I think what he and I've seen

1333
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 3: him since then, like, I think what he didn't predict

1334
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 3: also was the scope of it and how, And that's

1335
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 3: what because I think with artists and you probably can

1336
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 3: relate to this, Like I think the more you do

1337
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 3: your craft or whatever, the more you realize it's not

1338
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 3: only what you are doing, but it is how you

1339
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,200
Speaker 3: were doing it. Like, if you're a painter, you not

1340
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 3: only want to choose what to paint, you want to

1341
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 3: choose what paint you use, and you want to make

1342
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 3: your own canvas maybe, and you want to choose where

1343
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 3: you painted and all this stuff, you know what I mean.

1344
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:03,560
Speaker 3: But with film it's sometimes that gets wrestled away from you,

1345
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 3: where it's like here's the shot I want and here's

1346
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 3: how I think we should do it, and they'll be like, Nope,

1347
01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 3: too expensive, here's how you're gonna do it and and

1348
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 3: that and that ruins the process, especially when you have

1349
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 3: a director like Gondry. And what I realized, I think

1350
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 3: what he realized is like his whole magic is not

1351
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 3: only in what he's doing, it's how he's doing it right.

1352
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:28,759
Speaker 3: It's the materials used, literally, and that did not always

1353
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 3: apply to this scope of filmmaking basically and uh and

1354
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,600
Speaker 3: it was just like uh, an inorganic combination of elements.

1355
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 3: And then there was a point, I think where you're

1356
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 3: just kind of like, this seems like it's going poorly.

1357
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 3: I slept terribly throughout the whole thing.

1358
01:11:45,479 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 1: You felt you felt, even yea during the process like

1359
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: this might not get out good for sure.

1360
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 3: It was like because it was rocky for like the

1361
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 3: year leading up to it. And there was a point

1362
01:11:54,840 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 3: and this was also something I would probably do differently now,

1363
01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 3: Like we had just spent years working on it, and

1364
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 3: there's a moment where you're like do we stop or

1365
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 3: just keep going? Because like after years it was it

1366
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 3: felt weird to just stop anywhere. It was just like,

1367
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 3: I think we just have to see this through, like

1368
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 3: and and that is something that I probably wouldn't do now. Honestly,

1369
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 3: I think after that experience, I would just be like,

1370
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 3: let's just pull the plug and maybe we all wasted

1371
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 3: three years, but maybe we all learned a lot in

1372
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 3: that three years and have some good experiences. But I

1373
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 3: think like that's something at the time that I wasn't

1374
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 3: prepared to do, which was just say like, you know what, like,

1375
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 3: let's not fucking do this, you know.

1376
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 1: So my parallel question to you is, Okay, now, as

1377
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: a person that's been doing what I've been doing at

1378
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: least what I'm known for uh twenty five plus years,

1379
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of had this discussion like are

1380
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 1: we sabotaging ourselves but not like wanting to go to

1381
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: bigger houses?

1382
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like we're now in the.

1383
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Place where it's like, hey, you guys do know that

1384
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: we could book a night at blah blah blah. Yeah,

1385
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: if you guys had the album time whatever immediate thing

1386
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 1: was fear like, no, I don't want to play you know,

1387
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand, da da da, because I feel like my

1388
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: zone has always been in smaller theaters. Yeah, so for you,

1389
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: is is a nine figure budget sort of like a

1390
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:17,879
Speaker 1: dragnet horns.

1391
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,440
Speaker 3: It's like, like, would you attempt.

1392
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 1: To really go big or do you feel that, you know,

1393
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: when you do lower budget stuff, then.

1394
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: I think now in order, we're writing a movie now

1395
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 3: that would be expensive, like a pretty expensive movie, not

1396
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 3: quite Green Heart, but.

1397
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean like a popcorn film, like yes, but like

1398
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: a Summer of twenty twenty one.

1399
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like, but we're really trying to make it

1400
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 3: have all the stuff that we like out of movies,

1401
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: but we're trying to make like it's a more it's

1402
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 3: still like an R rated like action comedy basically, but

1403
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 3: we're the types of movies that are in theaters have changed,

1404
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 3: and I think that's something that we're also aware of,

1405
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 3: is we like a lot of what are It's interesting,

1406
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 3: Like we work backwards to some degree from like audience reaction,

1407
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 3: and we go to movies and we sit in theaters

1408
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 3: and you know, what makes people cheer and what makes

1409
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 3: people laugh, and what makes people shocked and what makes

1410
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:27,799
Speaker 3: people scared, and that changes over the course of years,

1411
01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 3: you know, like the things. You know, there's some movies

1412
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 3: that have come out that ten years ago got a

1413
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 3: certain reaction in theaters, and that same thing would not

1414
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:40,759
Speaker 3: seem very exciting by today's standards. That shocking by today's standards,

1415
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 3: and so we are trying to evolve. We instinctually must

1416
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 3: evolve with the climate. And and we like making movies

1417
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 3: for theaters, and we creatively think backwards a lot from

1418
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 3: what would make a theater full of people have like

1419
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 3: this experience, Like what would make a theater full of

1420
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 3: people be on edge and then excited and then laughing

1421
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 3: and then sad and and and in or. But the

1422
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 3: theater part is the tricky part because a lot of

1423
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 3: movies like Super Bad today, for example, probably wouldn't be

1424
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 3: in theaters. It be hard to get it in theaters,

1425
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Knocked Up even would more

1426
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 3: likely be a Netflix movie today. It's just people talking

1427
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 3: in rooms. Like there's no you know, there's no big

1428
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 3: action in it, there's no like it's literally people sitting

1429
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 3: and talking for two hours, you know, like we go

1430
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 3: to circus.

1431
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 1: Organically, it wouldn't happen. But I mean, you gotta admit

1432
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,639
Speaker 1: that you're coming from the canon of the app Town

1433
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 1: Apptown Mafia. Yeah, so even by six degrees of separation,

1434
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 1: like you know, you would you personally would have to myself,

1435
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,679
Speaker 1: you would I would think you'd have to release eight

1436
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 1: bona Fide below ten rotten to me before I'm like

1437
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: n ninety seen Seth Morgan.

1438
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 3: You know, not all horror movies do well. I mean,

1439
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 3: you know, like, but even then I'm aware of it.

1440
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: It's still yeah, there's still some thing where it's like, oh,

1441
01:16:06,680 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: you're in it.

1442
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,680
Speaker 3: It might be good. Yeah, you know, it's out there,

1443
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 3: but it's still like it's harder to get movies in

1444
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 3: theaters and it's harder to compete for the cultural attention

1445
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 3: like that, I think, and that to us is very

1446
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 3: important also is we like it when we make We've

1447
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 3: seen that in the past. We've made movies that like

1448
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 3: work their way into culture and they're referenced in rap

1449
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 3: songs and in other movies and on TV shows, and

1450
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 3: we like that, like we And that's not always a

1451
01:16:35,080 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 3: one to one thing with like success, it's just you know,

1452
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 3: it's something that only happens though really with movies that

1453
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:45,439
Speaker 3: are in theaters, like movies on Netflix, it's are just

1454
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 3: streaming movies. It's much harder for them to capture a

1455
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 3: piece of the culture. And a movie like Mid Nineties,

1456
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 3: which was seen probably by one iota the amount of

1457
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,440
Speaker 3: people that sees the average Netflix movie capture the cultural

1458
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,559
Speaker 3: attention in a way that very few Netflix movies do

1459
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 3: because it was in theaters and when people saw it,

1460
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 3: they turned their phone off for two hours and they

1461
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 3: sat in a dark room and they actually watch it,

1462
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 3: And you don't do that with Netflix movies. And I

1463
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 3: think that is going to become when I look at

1464
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 3: why I want movies and theaters, that is it like.

1465
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 2: But that's not all the way true. Those stuff I

1466
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 2: was gonna tell you, Like some certain movies command you

1467
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: to turn off the lights, watch watched, like when The

1468
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 2: Irishman was one of those. This season, Dolamite was one

1469
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 2: of those season. It just depends, I think.

1470
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: Some I think for some people they choose.

1471
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: To watch Everythriend's just gonna have Nero Patinos.

1472
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 3: And there's a million people watching The Irishman like as

1473
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 3: they're on Twitter. Yes, I mean, And if it's in

1474
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 3: the theater, you don't even have watch like you have

1475
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 3: to watch it.

1476
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: And I think I saw it in the theater me too.

1477
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 1: I didn't want to watch me too, Netflix, and I

1478
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: love it.

1479
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 3: And I think when you put a movie in the theater,

1480
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 3: you're telling culturally. You were saying, like this is worth

1481
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 3: you putting your phone in your pocket for two hours, like,

1482
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:02,240
Speaker 3: and you're asking people to do that, and that asks.

1483
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 3: It is a big ask, and I think that to

1484
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 3: that end, that's why we're writing a very expensive, big

1485
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 3: fun We understand what we're asking is not a light ask.

1486
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 3: We're asking you to give up your timon and in

1487
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 3: order to do that, we have to repay you with

1488
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 3: something that is worthy of it.

1489
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 2: So can I ask it apatole Mafia question? And for

1490
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:26,920
Speaker 2: that reason, I'm gonna go back to something that I

1491
01:18:26,960 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 2: wanted to ask you guys when y'all were having the

1492
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 2: back and forth. Do y'all ever consider because as a

1493
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 2: woman of color, being a fan of what you guys do,

1494
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 2: I love it. Wouldn't change it, blah blah blah. However,

1495
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,800
Speaker 2: time to change it, and not for nothing. I would

1496
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 2: be curious to see how a woman of color would

1497
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 2: be written to some of these situations, right, because when

1498
01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 2: you look at the majority of the movies that you

1499
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:48,560
Speaker 2: guys do, like you said, I know you introduced the

1500
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 2: rose burn situation, but not really so have y'all started

1501
01:18:51,640 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 2: considering maybe yes, maybe the next thing. Maybe I don't

1502
01:18:55,920 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 2: know yet, but you're working on.

1503
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 3: Something, Yes, very much. I mean it is a prevalent

1504
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 3: topic of conversation.

1505
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 2: But not on perfect I don't want you to do

1506
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,040
Speaker 2: it just because oh my god, everybody's demanding that we

1507
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 2: have a woman and then we have to have a

1508
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 2: woman of color. But just because you see that, hey

1509
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 2: wait a minute, that would be funny to get that

1510
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 2: perspective in this storyline.

1511
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 3: No, and like, yeah, I mean it's something that. Yeah.

1512
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,759
Speaker 3: I mean, the more perspectives and the more different people

1513
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 3: you have working on your material, the better it all is. Yeah.

1514
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we produce the show Black Monday with Don Cheatle.

1515
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 2: And Regina and.

1516
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:33,200
Speaker 3: It's great and the Preacher. Yeah, and we've just seen

1517
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 3: and and it is in Preacher exactly. We've seen it's

1518
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 3: very rewarding and and and and it and people get great.

1519
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 3: You know. It's the more representation the better. I would

1520
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 3: never argue otherwise, but I want to see.

1521
01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 2: You like I got I love the Daun Cheat in

1522
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 2: the Regina Hall. But I was like, man, I want

1523
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 2: to see that'd be great.

1524
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm in OK So in the hindsight, the like I

1525
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: was paying attention to it, but I don't recall I

1526
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: remember the email fallouts with Sony. Yeah, with the interview,

1527
01:20:04,040 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 1: did was it worth it?

1528
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:13,760
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah? Because it was crazy and like and did

1529
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,480
Speaker 3: not to us like other people, I mean talk about sexism.

1530
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 3: Like the only real person to be horribly damaged by

1531
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 3: it was Amy Pascal, her boss, Michael Litton. He wasn't damaged,

1532
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 3: but but she was terribly damaged. Wait, just collect me

1533
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 3: if I'm wrong.

1534
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 1: The the fallout, the fallout of the damn with the

1535
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: interview was if you guys released this, we'll hack into

1536
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: your emails.

1537
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 3: And then they eventually they had her. They had already

1538
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,880
Speaker 3: hacked into Sony and they eventually threatened to like bomb

1539
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 3: movie theaters that played the movie basically, and that's why

1540
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:53,200
Speaker 3: they pulled. Okay, so it was released stream or was

1541
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 3: it Google play? I've seen ITAs. I just forgot where

1542
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 3: Google released it, and then Netflix released it all within

1543
01:20:59,520 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 3: like Google released Actually the day was supposed to come

1544
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 3: out in theaters and the Netflix released it two weeks later. Okay,

1545
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 3: And again, was it was it worth it? It was?

1546
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it was like it was a really interesting exercise,

1547
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 3: like I don't the result of which is still fascinating

1548
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 3: and I don't even when you say is it worth it.

1549
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,840
Speaker 3: I don't even I'm not even sure anyone knows what

1550
01:21:29,880 --> 01:21:32,719
Speaker 3: the fuck actually happened. Like, there was a big article

1551
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 3: in the Hollywood Reporter the other day that was like,

1552
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 3: what really happened in the Sony Hack? Can you read

1553
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 3: the article and you're just like, there's no, I don't

1554
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 3: know what happened. I don't know what happened. People don't.

1555
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:45,600
Speaker 3: They're not sure North Korea did it. They don't. Like no,

1556
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:50,519
Speaker 3: people people think they did. So like, it's hard to

1557
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 3: it's hard to retrospectively gain a lot of insight from

1558
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 3: something where you honestly aren't even sure what the fuck happened,

1559
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,600
Speaker 3: like as a movie, honestly, to me, the most the

1560
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 3: biggest bubber is that the movie got pretty shitty reviews

1561
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,799
Speaker 3: and that doesn't happen to us that often, and that

1562
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 3: that bummed me out, Like honestly, yeah, it was like

1563
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 3: for us, like pretty bad. And so that to me

1564
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 3: was the thing that if I look back and could

1565
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 3: change something, I'd be like, oh, I wish the second

1566
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 3: act had like a better set piece in it, and

1567
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,879
Speaker 3: I wish like we rounded out the third act more emotionally.

1568
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 3: But I but like, because that was the stuff that

1569
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 3: was in my control, you know what I mean, Like

1570
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 3: the actual product, the film was the thing we were

1571
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 3: in control of. And what I'm yeah, what I don't

1572
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 3: love is that it just wasn't received as well as movies.

1573
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: It's just hit me, and I know we're gonna wind

1574
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: up pretty soon, but uh, it just hit me that

1575
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:47,720
Speaker 1: you're one of the cameos in one of Yauk's last pieces. Yes,

1576
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: make some No, I'm about to call it fight for

1577
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: You Right too.

1578
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, make video.

1579
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, there was an incidented version that was called fight

1580
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:57,040
Speaker 7: for Your Right review.

1581
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,599
Speaker 1: So how did that? How was that picture come together?

1582
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 3: Just?

1583
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Oh, man, were you guys aware at the time what

1584
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: his condition was? And this was sort of like their

1585
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: swan song.

1586
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,760
Speaker 3: We kind of got that sense as we were shooting it,

1587
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 3: Like I knew he had been sick, but I there

1588
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 3: was kind of like the public word on this on

1589
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 3: the street was that he was getting better, you know.

1590
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 3: And then he just called me. One day, I got

1591
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 3: a call from Adam Hill Coke call. Yeah, and it

1592
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 3: was just like the greatest fucking phone call you ever got.

1593
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 3: A huge BC Boys fan my whole life, Like I'd

1594
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 3: met him once or twice before at like south By Southwest,

1595
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 3: I think, and yeah, and he was just like, we're

1596
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 3: making a music video and I want you to be

1597
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 3: Mike d And that was fucking great. And then we

1598
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 3: shot that video for three days, which is crazy for

1599
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 3: a music video, and and every famous person ever was

1600
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 3: in and I think it was like halfway through day

1601
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 3: two where I was like, oh, this is like a

1602
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 3: kind of like a big last Tura Swan song. Yeah,

1603
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 3: and and then it got kind of sad and bittersweet

1604
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 3: but was also fun. And like when when I look

1605
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 3: back and think of was like he was just telling

1606

01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:51,799

01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:53,880
Speaker 3: because we were there all the time, Me and Danny

1621

Speaker 3: we were like this mindset. It was like crazy. We

1630
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:21,880

01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:29,640

Speaker 3: everyone's faces, like throwing like we Yeah, it was it

1635
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:33,799
Speaker 3: was a mad.

1636
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 2: Danny McBride must be like he writes too correct.

1637
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he writes eastpounding down and the righteous Gemstone right,

1638
01:25:40,040 --> 01:25:40,799
Speaker 3: So yeah.

1639
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 2: He must be like awesome to work. In my mind,

1640
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 2: everybody who was in this is the end in a

1641
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 2: way to do their own writing, but who is like

1642
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 2: awesome to write with? It blows your mind and you

1643
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 2: just like the fuck you come up with that shit?

1644
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 3: They're all great in their own ways. Like yeah, like

1645
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 3: Danny Jonah is truly the one like on set is

1646
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,839
Speaker 3: like it's pretty remark to watch, like he's he he's

1647
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 3: like he gets like very locked in and is like

1648
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 3: it's like a pretty miraculous thing. From time to time,

1649
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 3: Danny is very loose and had and biting and like

1650
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 3: he's the comedian that kind of the other comedians are

1651
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:24,080
Speaker 3: a little afraid to improvise with because yeah, because but

1652
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 3: he's very sweet and nice. But it was like I

1653
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 3: saw him once and he don't know, you know, he's

1654
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,680
Speaker 3: very sweet, such a nice dude and like not and

1655
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 3: what's it is one of those funny things where like

1656
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 3: he created those characters as a way to make fun

1657
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,040
Speaker 3: of the guys he didn't like growing up. Basically that

1658
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:50,519
Speaker 3: is who he is and his biggest fan base is

1659
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 3: probably which is a bummer. Videos.

1660
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 1: How how did Kanye contact you to do Bound?

1661
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,400

01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 3: and then he did ask so he just released it.

1664
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 3: We released it, he did it, No, we just did it.

1665
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:18,320
Speaker 3: He released his video and literally within an hour of

1666
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 3: seeing it, I was like, we're recreating it, and we

1668
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,080
Speaker 1: It was I've never seen Kanye's version.

Speaker 1: Not Donnie Frosco's way.

1677
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:02,840
Speaker 3: You were the end of his way.

1678
01:28:02,920 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 1: When you think they're gonna get away with it, He's like, hey, no,

01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,839
Speaker 3: at his wedding. Wow Franco.

1686

Speaker 3: that at my wedding? And did you know it? Well know,

1689
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 3: Like it was one of those things were like throughout

1690
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 3: the conversation, I like you thought willed him to realize

1691
01:28:37,120 --> 01:28:41,519
Speaker 3: how uncomfortable it would be, which he slowly did he

1692
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,519
Speaker 3: and I was just like, so just and he's just

1693
01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 3: like he's like, as I say this, I realized how

1694
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,679
Speaker 3: fucking uncomfortable. He's like, it would be funny for ten seconds.

1695
01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,120
Speaker 3: But he's like, I've asked you to fly to her

1696
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 3: side for like literally ten seconds and ship He's like,

1697
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 3: we shouldn't do it.

1698
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean, you you lived, you lived

1699
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:09,639
Speaker 1: a charm sort of bucket listy life. I want to know,

1700
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:12,920
Speaker 1: did a project ever get away from you that you

1701
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 1: had your eyes.

1702
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 3: On that you wish you I wish we did, like you.

1703
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Had a chance to no write or direct, blah blah blah.

1704
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 3: But there are things like no, I mean, yeah.

1705
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:31,800
Speaker 1: Did Lynn Manuel come up to Hamilton.

1706
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 3: Get away from your kid? No? There are things that

1707
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 3: like that we that came across our desk that then

1708
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 3: became very successful. But I don't think when I look like, oh, like,

1709
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 3: should we have really like spent like two years making

1710
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:53,920
Speaker 3: like you know, like Hobbs and Shaw, Like, I don't know,

1711
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 3: like maybe it would have been fun or like yeah,

1712
01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know if it was like outwardly offered,

1713
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 3: but there was a point where it's like, come in,

1714
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 3: you want to meet on the hobs and char movies

1715
01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:04,920
Speaker 3: like Deadpool Baby years ago, like a very long time.

1716
01:30:05,840 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 3: But like I think that it's not it just wasn't

1717
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 3: our thing, you know what I mean, Like we weren't like, uh,

1718
01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 3: the idea like plugging in. I think that's what green

1719
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 3: Hornet scared us off of more than anything. Was like

1720
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 3: plugging into this like saying yeah exactly, and plugging into

1721
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 3: like an IP that is like very established, yeah, already established,

1722
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:27,800
Speaker 3: and having to like work within that. So like like

1723
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 3: and working with like a big company is like just scary,

1724
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:33,320
Speaker 3: like working with like a Marvel or you know, like

1725
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:35,040
Speaker 3: and not to say we wouldn't do it, it's just

1726
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,679
Speaker 3: it's just scary, you know. And and I think and

1727
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 3: making like a friend yeah, like making like a Hobbs

1728
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 3: and Shot type movie where it's just like this movie's

1729
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:44,200
Speaker 3: gonna get made no matter what. We're just the people

1730
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:46,960
Speaker 3: like you know, serving you the dish.

1731
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:49,760
Speaker 1: Well, the silver lining of green horn is that you

1732
01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:51,719
Speaker 1: got your health in check.

1733
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:57,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and it started working out. Yeah I know, well yeah, no,

1734
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,120
Speaker 3: it was a lot of good and we learned and

1735
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 3: like so much like we that movie was made in

1736
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,879
Speaker 3: a way movies aren't made anymore, Like we built everything.

1737
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 3: It was practical effects, it was visual effects. There was

1738
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:12,920
Speaker 3: there was huge stunt teams. There was like literally the

1739
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:15,200
Speaker 3: stunt team that did Indiana Jones did the movie. Like

1740
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 3: we got to learn from these like amazing people, and

1741
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 3: and Gondry himself was someone who was amazing to learn from.

1742
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 3: And even though the result was debatable, Like I think

1743
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 3: very few experiences made us understand the production process and

1744
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,800
Speaker 3: filmmaking in general more than that movie because it was

1745
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:38,759
Speaker 3: as logistically complicated a movie as as exists in the world,

1746
01:31:38,880 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 3: and we had like a front row seat to every

1747
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:45,719
Speaker 3: step of the process. So that was really interesting. Yeah, wow,

1748
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,240
Speaker 3: which that made a better movie?

1749
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 2: Cans Stone a question real quick, because I remember famously

1750
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 2: listening to you on Stern one day and he was

1751
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 2: asking you about working out and working out why you

1752
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:57,920
Speaker 2: were smoking, and you were like, yeah, I take you

1753
01:31:57,920 --> 01:31:58,559
Speaker 2: a couple of totes.

1754
01:31:58,760 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 3: Do you do that?

1755
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've done it in its little weird when I

1756
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 2: do everything. Number One, I want you to give advice

1757
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 2: a young Stoners because I think you have to graduate

1758
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 2: to that level. Yeah, and I wanted to know when

1759
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:13,800
Speaker 2: you got to the point where you knew that you

1760
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 2: could do everything Stone that's that's like next level.

1761
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 3: It takes a while.

1762
01:32:19,880 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell a baby, that's.

1763
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 3: Baby, Yeah exactly. For I like the thing most people,

1764
01:32:29,760 --> 01:32:32,679
Speaker 3: I'm always telling people to smoke a little bit of wheed,

1765
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 3: like to take one hit of wheat. That's what. Like.

1766
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 3: I just I was just with David Chay on his

1767
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:40,519
Speaker 3: Netflix show and like we went around smoked weed all day,

1768
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 3: and I just the whole time was like one little

1769
01:32:43,400 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 3: tiny hit and that'll get you going for you'll be

1770
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 3: fine and like like or set a timer, take one

1771
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:50,600
Speaker 3: hit and then see you feel in twenty minutes and

1772
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 3: then maybe have another hit. But like most people just

1773
01:32:53,400 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 3: make way too much weed, and who don't smoke a

1774
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 3: lot of weed, And weat is super strong and one

1775
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:02,679
Speaker 3: hit is enough literally and get any strange.

1776
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:04,879
Speaker 1: I'm also I'm also a reactor.

1777
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do you do you smoke the tea?

1778
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, well I prefer uh was it. I'm like

1779
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:16,720
Speaker 1: so new. I'm literally like seven months into this, so.

1780
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 2: We've been trying for thirty years.

1781
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1782
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,040
Speaker 1: But but the thing is when I do it, it

1783
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: always hits me at the most inopportune moment, like I'll

1784
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 1: do it all right.

1785
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 7: One time I.

1786
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: Did it at night, Yeah, and it felt a little weird, like,

1787
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: oh God, let me just sit down and relax. I

1788
01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:35,920
Speaker 1: fell asleep right and woke up in the morning. It's like,

1789
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: oh damn, I didn't get high. That was a waste.

1790
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: And then twenty minutes and then twenty minutes into my

1791
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:44,240
Speaker 1: day right when I got on the drum set of fell.

1792
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:45,560
Speaker 3: And all.

1793
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:48,839
Speaker 2: From the night before.

1794
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:49,679
Speaker 3: That's weird.

1795
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is weird.

1796
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 7: I have well, see I do edibles.

1797
01:33:55,040 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't smoke, are on, don't do I

1798
01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:05,479
Speaker 3: do edibles very sparingly because they're wildly unpredicted. Yeah like that,

1799
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:11,040
Speaker 3: Like they're they're hard to it's hard to get them. Yeah,

1800
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 3: it's hard to get the dose, is right. It's hard

1801
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 3: to time them. Sometimes it depends on what. Sometimes they

1802
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 3: take an hour to kick in, two hours to kick in,

1803
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 3: depends what. It takes five hours.

1804
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:21,320
Speaker 2: The stone is around you. Do you ever see Steve

1805
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:21,960
Speaker 2: eating his weed?

1806
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:25,000
Speaker 1: If you eat your weed, there's none left to smoke.

1807
01:34:30,520 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 3: Forgive me.

1808
01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: Again, my my my final question is uh, Oftentimes, like

1809
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: right now, I'm watching The Morning Show, which is notably

1810
01:34:43,360 --> 01:34:47,679
Speaker 1: everyone I've knew them. I knew them from the funny world,

1811
01:34:47,960 --> 01:34:52,679
Speaker 1: the comedy world. But yeah, they're doing drama. Like, would

1812
01:34:52,720 --> 01:34:56,600
Speaker 1: you consider because you did Steve Jobs correct the movie?

1813
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:58,720
Speaker 3: No, I did Steve Jobs.

1814
01:35:03,240 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Technical, would you want to further explore into the world

1815
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: of drama?

1816
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1817
01:35:14,520 --> 01:35:18,920
Speaker 1: And what role are you? What is your like your

1818
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:22,200
Speaker 1: fantasy thing that you haven't done yet that you really

1819
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:22,720
Speaker 1: want to do.

1820
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 3: We're writing that. I mean, that's what's nice about being

1821
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:27,519
Speaker 3: able to write your own movies, is like, I've no

1822
01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:30,559
Speaker 3: one to blame but myself for if if my career

1823
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:34,559
Speaker 3: seems limited in scope as an actor, Like yeah, i mean,

1824
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 3: what uh, the thing we're working on now, I'm obsessed

1825
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 3: with like Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan and so, like,

1826
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to make like a highly physical, like

1827
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 3: action movie, like our action comedy, like something that is

1828
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 3: almost entirely predicated on action and not a lot of

1829
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:56,759
Speaker 3: talking at all. And that has just always been something

1830
01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,040
Speaker 3: that I always enjoy shooting that type of stuff. And

1831
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 3: so that's something that we want to do, and that's

1832
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,559
Speaker 3: what we're working on right now. You're kind of like

1833
