Just 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 1: a shitty interviewhitty interview. When you said that it clearly 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 1: hates white people. 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: When you said that, that was immediately the thing that 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: I thought about. You know, it's like about bombing because 20 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 3: you know, you think how ones would fly off the 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 3: rails all the time, but it's usually a very positive 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 3: shoot experience, you know, like, no matter the emotional roller 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 3: coaster throughout, it usually ends in a hug. So I 24 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: don't really have that many sort of this is uncomfortable 25 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: kind of interviews when I look at the. 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: Cattle the Hot Ones catalog. 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that one with you me and Yeah, if 28 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: I look back on the hundreds of interviews that I've 29 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 3: done in my life, that's the one that crystallized is 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: maybe the most. 31 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he clearly doesn't like to do press. I was 32 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: kind of like I would have turned to him and 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: be like, you don't have to do this, Like this 34 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: is just to promote your stuff, Like none of us 35 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: have to be here. You don't have to be here, right, 36 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: If you don't want to promote your stuff, just go 37 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: or go away here, like go somewhere else. 38 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: In his defense, though, I remember the whole conceit for 39 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: this thing was so stupid. 40 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: So I think what was happening he was confusing, was 41 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: super confused. I didn't really know what it was. What 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: were we used to do? What the purpose together? So 43 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: here's what I think happened. 44 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: Wece used to do those interviews whould be like Mac 45 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: DeMarco talking to a sap Rocky or something. You're like 46 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: two musicians talking shop. So I think complex saw that. 47 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, we need to do our version 48 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: of that, but we should leverage our hosts and blah blah, 49 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: you know, like it's when people start making decisions that 50 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: have nothing to do with making a good interview or 51 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 3: making a good video. It's motivated by other things, you know. Yeah, 52 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: but or like just we're going to put our hosts, like, 53 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: leverage our complex brand, put our like we're going to 54 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: take the magic of this thing, but insert a certain 55 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 3: like this is ours, and who knows what that means. 56 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: They can spin it off, sell it different ways or whatever, 57 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: you know. But I remember thinking that's so stupid, because 58 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 3: the reason the Vice thing kind of works is it's 59 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 3: two musicians talking shop or two comedians talking shops. Right, 60 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 3: introducing a host, it's like putting pickles on peanut butter 61 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: and jelly sandwich. 62 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: It makes no sense, and. 63 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: It actually flies in the face of like the exact 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: thing that makes that whole thing. 65 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: Work, right, and it it inserts just. 66 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: A distracting element to the whole thing. So I remember 67 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: thinking on its face that this is dumb, that this 68 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: is purposeless. And then even the sets like all space 69 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 3: shipped out weird, like it made no sense. So I 70 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 3: actually I maybe even like kind of understand where he's 71 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: coming from. But I almost like barely, Like I remember 72 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 3: three minutes into that being like, oh, I can't wait 73 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: to get in the car. 74 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: Yeah I know. 75 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: I was like, this is tense and he clearly doesn't 76 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: want to be here. But you know what, before the 77 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: cameras turned on, he was like sweet as pumpkin pie. 78 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: When I was just talking to him, like before we 79 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: started shooting, he was like, I was like, what are 80 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: you listening to lately? He's like, oh, Joni Mitchell. I 81 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: was like what, And then like as soon as the 82 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: camera started there was like a one eighty c change. 83 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: It was like very tense and like but I could 84 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: tell he was also like it was like shtick, like 85 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: he was trying to be like edge Lord, kind of 86 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: like you in a way and like militant, but like 87 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: not in a comedic way. So I was like trying 88 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: to like cut the tension. And then I was like 89 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: but then I think I was like what is this? 90 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: And then I think in the YouTube kind of ended up. 91 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: I felt like kind of trading some things too, and 92 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: so then I kind of like I was in the 93 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 3: middle of something. 94 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, well I was like, shit, am I 95 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: in like I feel like I was in the principals office. 96 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: I was like, what am I in trouble for? That's 97 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: a good way of putting it. 98 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 99 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm here to promote like a dumb 100 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: eleven minute talk show idea, but. 101 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: What you but what you said is something that I 102 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: always think about. 103 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Like if I don't, I don't think I ever watched it. 104 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Neither did I I didn't, I don't think it or whatever. 105 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that sucked. And I was doing 106 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: like a few things press wise that my publicist this 107 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: is like in the beginning, you just say yes to everything, 108 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: and there was a few things I did that I regretted, 109 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: So I was just it was in that era in 110 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: the early stages of the show where I was like 111 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I did something it was like nylon or Neon or 112 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: one of these like fashion kind of and they like 113 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: there was like a fashionista kind of Bruno character there, 114 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: like dressing me up in some like thing. And I 115 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: was like, I don't really, I don't model or wear 116 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: this ship and they were like, oh, just do it. 117 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: And I looked my publicist. I was like, can I 118 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: do it? Like ironically, but then you don't get to 119 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: pick the pictures. Yeah right, you don't select the pictures, 120 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: so you better enjoy what you are wearing and what 121 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: you're doing because you don't get to pick. There's no editor. 122 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: You're not in the edit. So, uh, it was around 123 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: that era that I did that, and I was like, 124 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: I gotta like be careful about saying yes to everything 125 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: because that was a fucking bummer. What was your takeaway 126 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: from it? And have we given enough context as the 127 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: audience on what the fuck we're talking about? 128 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: Right? 129 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think we kind of set it up. It 130 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: was just it was trying. 131 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 3: It was trying to be actors on actors, but they 132 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 3: inserted a host for no reason and then it went sideways, 133 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 3: which of course it was going to do, you know, 134 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: But what you said, I do kind of I think 135 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: about that sometimes when someone comes in, because you never 136 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 3: know what they're gonna come in with, you know, like 137 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 3: they can be you know, like, oh, I'm in a. 138 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: New phase of my like artistic. 139 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: Journey and I'm come in like you know, and sometimes 140 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I'm just trying to do a commercial 141 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 3: for you. 142 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. Yeah, Well it felt disingenuous because I saw 143 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: how he behaved before the cameras and on and then 144 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: he like put on a put on an act, and 145 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: I was like, no, you're way more interesting. You're way 146 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: more intriguing and likable and relatable being yourself. Like when 147 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: I was talking to him off camera, I was like, 148 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: I was leaning in. I was like fascinated, and then 149 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: he was. So it was a bummer, you know. It 150 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: was like rebel without a cause. Though it wasn't like 151 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't it wasn't activism. It was just like nihilism. 152 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: It was nihilism. What was your takeaway? I didn't I 153 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: didn't have I don't want to watch it again. It's 154 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: probably not that when you watch it. It was just 155 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: a feeling in the room. 156 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, it was probably more yeah, like less tangible 157 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: than But but I don't I mean philosophically the way 158 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: I look at interviews the same way as movies, like 159 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: they should either be good or really bad, you know 160 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: what I mean, Like the middle of the Road doesn't 161 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: do anything for me. So like sometimes those things are uncomfortable, 162 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 3: but I never when I walk away from them, I'm 163 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: always like, well that's you know, it's compelling, you know. Yeah, 164 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: So and then I try not to take myself too 165 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: seriously or like whatever when I walk away from those things. 166 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: So that's just like kind of fine.

But uh yeah, just say no. 209 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: Crust your instincts and just saying no, and like that's 210 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: not just for career stuff. It's like throughout life. Yeah, 211 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm such a people pleaser and I just 212 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: go yeah, yeah sure, and then hey, you want to 213 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: go to this?

Yeah, yeah, I 229 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: mean without marketing. Look at Barbie. Look at the Barbie movie. Right, 230 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: it's a fucking genius, But they did two things that 231 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: was brilliant with the marketing. Hey, Barbie, is this like 232 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: tried and true intellectual property that's been around for one 233 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: hundred years. That's controversial. So controversy brings media attention and 234 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: internet attention to it, and it's already like this established brand, 235 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: and they could combine forces for some reason, for a 236 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: very smart reason. With the Oppenheimer marketing, there was like 237 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: all these like conjoined memes and they both you know, 238 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: they're both making two billion dollars at the box office. 239 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: So I think. 240 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Marketing is crucial inundated with so much media. 241 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's such a fractured media landscape, you know 242 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 3: what I mean. Like back in the day, there was 243 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: like a couple a handful of shows, you know that people. 244 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: Are tuning into TV channel exactly. Now there's like a 245 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: million that yeah, thousands harder than ever, I guess. Yeah, 246 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: it's a volume game. 247 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:20,239 Speaker 2: With Aricodre, with Arecdre. 248 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: What about like up and coming when you were like 249 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: a young journalist. 250 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I actually I liked my gigs before I 251 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: ever had something like this.

Yeah. Actually that's a good point. 598 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: I think when you're playing so you become so difficult 599 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: to work with. It doesn't matter how famous you are, 600 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: how success are, people are like, yeah, yeah, you're a monster. 601 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: Everybody is replaceable.

I think Samuel 603 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: Jackson was talking about that. He's like, even at my level, 604 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: I can't start being a fucking total asshole. 605 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 2: Gun be a little bit of. 606 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: An ass Yeah, just a little bit, a little sprinkle. 607 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: People could be a little bit of a curmudgeon.

What's your most 661 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 1: successful hot ones? 662 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,600 Speaker 3: Gordon Ramsey by far, I think Billy eil Like Billy 663 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 3: Eilish is our second biggest episode. It has like half 664 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 3: as many views as that thing has like one hundred 665 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 3: and thirty million views or something like that. But I 666 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 3: think what it was is when we first started doing 667 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 3: the show, he was the most requested guest by far. 668 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 3: You know, I almost felt bad for when we started 669 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 3: putting out episodes because it's be like on the show 670 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 3: this week, Eric Andre and all the comments back, word's 671 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 3: Gordon Ramsey? When's Gordon Ramsey? 672 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? 673 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: I felt like almost impossible to do the show until 674 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: we got him in. And I think it makes sense. 675 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: You like the food component. I think people want to 676 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: see him like yell at us about the quality of 677 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: the wings. Like I think he just naturally fit that 678 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 3: chair so well. And so then when it finally happened, 679 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 3: it was like an internet fever dream coming together. 680 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: Hot blooded guy. People wanted to see him. Yeah, yeah, 681 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: how did he do? Awesome? And he's he took wings down. 682 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah he's actually and he came back and did it again. 683 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 3: Actually we did a holiday special tailor and I've had 684 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 3: dinner in Hell's kitchen before. 685 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: No, he's he's Dave roll off the camera y. Yeah, yeah, 686 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: there's no way that he that's got to be performed. Yeah. Yeah, 687 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: he's a I met a bunch of those reality people 688 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: that are like as sweet as pie, and I'm like, 689 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: why did they make you do this? This like Simon 690 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: Cowell model of like I guess you gotta put you 691 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: got to inject trauma. 692 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 2: Conflict. 693 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, conflict. Maybe that's what I trying to do. 694 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: The whole time. Yeah. 695 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he has a three dimensional chest kind of 696 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: attitude about it and he's trying to inject some conflict. Yeah. 697 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 1: I really actually do believe part of that because he 698 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: was so sweet off camera talking about Johnny Mitchell or whatever, 699 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,239 Speaker 1: and that he was like doing this stick. I can 700 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: see that if I was like twenty two years old. 701 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 1: And also it felt like nervous. He felt nervous. He 702 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: felt like it felt like this, like anxiety to deliver 703 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: something edge, lordy and controversial. And I was like, all right, man, 704 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 1: you're bumming everybody out. Even his manager was like, fuck Sean, 705 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: thank you man, thank. 706 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: You with a recondre. 707 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: Hey, before you go, I want to let you know 708 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: I got a new book out that I wrote with 709 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 1: my friend Dan Curry. It is gold Dumb ideas behind 710 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: the scenes, expose I'm making pranks and other stupid creative 711 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: endeavors and how you can also too.

Now, here's a special clip from the audio book, 714 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: just for you. I always dreamed of being arrested while 715 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: doing comedy. Then I finally did. During Season one of 716 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: The Ericndra Show, I went to a town all meeting 717 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: dressed like a frat boy. While the mayor of this 718 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: pode in California town called Rancho Cucamonga No Joke, was 719 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: babbling on about god knows what. I dressed like a 720 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: frat boy, ran up to the podium and said, hey, 721 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: y'all vote for me for class president, and I'll put 722 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: beer in the water fountains and cameras in the girls' 723 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: locker rooms. Woo go, Bobcats. This half baked character was 724 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: inspired by any Porky's loving dipshit from my first high 725 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: school kinda. If you read that last sentence and got 726 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: the porky reference, give yourself a pork sandwich, then poke 727 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: a gloryhole in your own shower. That movie didn't age well. 728 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 1: This evening town hall meeting was attended by the mayor 729 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: and twelve sheriffs. These municipal hot shots didn't share my 730 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 1: sense of humor and promptly detail. The sun was setting, 731 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 1: the air was thick. I was on a high. The 732 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: sheriff's escorted me outside of the parking lot and kept 733 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: asking for my name. I told them my name was 734 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: John Coltrane. They kept trying to look me up in 735 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: their cop car laptop and they would lament, you're not 736 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 1: coming up in the system, Coltrane. This one cop came 737 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: up to me and went how many drugs are you on? 738 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: And I was stone cold sober, so I self cued 739 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: the classic sobriety test and started nailing them. Still in character, 740 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: I leaned my head back and started tapping my nose 741 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: and saying the alphabet backwards flawlessly, ze why XWVUT. Then 742 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: I walked in a straight line, over and over again. 743 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: These sheriffs were beside themselves. This is the most sober 744 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: idiot we've ever seen. Finally, the head boss sheriff softened. 745 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to arrest you, guy, but I just 746 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: have to arrest you since you made such a scene 747 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: in front of my boss. Poor guy, he just had 748 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 1: to arrest me. I can't imagine the emotional pain and 749 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:02,680 Speaker 1: trauma he suffered while cuffing me.
