Johnny Drama from Entourage. UM. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.200 If you're not a fan of Entourage, you you need 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.600 to question your life choices because to me, it's one 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.400 of the greatest television shows of all time, and Johnny 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:39.120 Drama is one of the greatest television characters of all time. UM. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:41.159 It's something that we've been trying to get Kevin on 0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:43.040 the pod for a while. He's a big golfer, comes 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.360 from a big golf family. Golf has been a huge 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:49.120 part of that show, so to get him is one 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:53.479 of the defining moments of my life.

You started that in the early eighties. 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:23.960 Um four bro, my screws a loose brother, my crew 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:29.640 brother brother Daddy. Yeah, yeah, that was crazy. That was crazy. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.360 I actually, uh, when I got beat by the priest. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.200 He actually the actor was my first real movie, so 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.240 I actually I got my head bashed against the black boy. 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.840 I'm sorry, brother, Yeah, I'm sorry brother. He actually hit 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.360 my head on the blackboard so many times that the 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.320 next day they were like, we were really sorry because 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.320 I came in with I was like, I got a headache, 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.720 I got bumps in my head. They gave me. It 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.040 was my first they called a stunt adjustment, which means 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:02.600 they gave me like five bills and back then five 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.760 all bills. To me, it was a big deal. So 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.800 I was like, yeah, five hunch baby for a couple 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.839 of bumps on the head. I'll take it. Um. When 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:12.760 you look back at that time in your life, Kevin, 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.440 I mean, but the career that you've had, and I 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:18.440 mean it started with something like that. When you're on 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:19.960 a movie set and you're trying to be an actor 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.760 and you're that young, do you have any idea what 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.200 you're doing. I mean, it's got to be all completely 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.200 new to you at that stage of your life. To 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.560 be on a big movie set with other actors and 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:32.159 you're you've got to do all this. It must have 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.599 been crazy. I mean, how old were you when you 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.040 filmed that movie? I was like seventeen, man, I didn't 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.120 know what the hell. I was done. I really did 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.080 I did do. I did a couple of school plays 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.000 right here in Memarnick at the Emlyn Theater. It was 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.760 one school play, but I did three nights at the 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.200 Emlyn Theater. I played Petruchio in The Taming and the 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.800 Shrew and that kind of gave me the bug. I 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.680 was like, I love the reaction I got from the audience. 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.960 And that was the first and last time I've done stage. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.440 I want to do it again sometime, but that was it. Man. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.360 As soon as I heard the laughter and the applause, 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.320 I was like, I want to do this. When you 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:14.440 were storing in your first movie. Your brother matt Um 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.159 who I mean growing up, I mean I watched all 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.600 of his movies, right, I mean, he was that that 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.359 was he was like a like a supertar Teenbeat magazine. 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:26.440 He was on the cover of teen Beat. He hated 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:31.359 being on teen Beating, Tiger Bag and all those. Uh. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.200 I was on a couple of those two, you know, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.000 but you know they to be honest with you, you know, 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.480 for him, it was super embarrassing. He wanted to get 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.839 out of he wanted to be taken seriously. I was 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.320 happy to be like uh, get one page in there somewhere. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.960 But did you feel at any point competition with your brother, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.039 because I mean he's he's acting, you're acting. Um what 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.360 was that like that that kind of that brother relationship 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.279 when you're both trying to do the same thing. You know, 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.120 there was no competition because he was already I mean, 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.760 Matt was a huge star when I was trying to 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.200 work my way up and I was lucky to be working, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.479 and uh, I was happy to be working. But I 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.440 never really really caught up to him, and I still haven't. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.760 I'd say I've definitely gotten I've gotten closer with entourage, 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:20.880 no doubt about that. Hey, he was in you know, 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.200 some cool stuff. But I mean you were in platoon 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:29.440 when you're you know, in your late teens, no doubt. Yeah, yeah, 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:33.839 I would have been probably nineteen or twenty. And it 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.560 was pretty cool with with Charlie Sheen, who I just 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.240 did a pilot with by the way, really yeah, me 0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.520 and Charlie did a pilot and who knows, maybe it'll 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.760 get picked up. It's called Ramblan. It's a really really 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.599 cool pilot. We'll see what happens. But he's by buddy. 0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.320 It's kind of cool work with him that many years later, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.040 Such a great guy when you went um and shocked. 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:58.200 I can still remember my dad fought in Vietnam. I 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.960 still remember going to see Tune with my dad. He 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.120 was busy. He never talked about Vietnam as as as 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.000 an experience. He couldn't talk about it. And that movie, 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.720 I think for him was a really kind of changing 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.760 experience for him because he saw a lot of the 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:18.360 things that he went through. Um, did you all on 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.120 that set have an idea that that was going to 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:27.680 be such a big film? You know what? I didn't? I? Uh. 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.600 Oliver Stone was cool and he let us all sit. 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.680 He invited us to the premiere after we got cast, 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.320 to the premiere of a movie he did called Salvador, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.000 and we all went and we checked it out. We're like, Wow, 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.680 this is a really really good movie and this script 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.840 Platoon is great. I think we got a really a 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.640 good chance at being a good movie. Did we know 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.600 it was going to be like this legendary movie and 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.200 when all those awards? I didn't know that, but uh, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:01.120 I do remember Tom Barranger said, Hey, guys, breathe it in, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.559 take this in. You're never gonna get a moment like this. 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.560 This is as good as it gets. We're in the Philippines, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.840 were dying, there's mosquitoes and it was disgusting. But I 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.640 mean he he knew that we were onto something special 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.640 and it really was. And we had a great time 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.760 and uh and the movie was huge. We saw it 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.720 at this he had a we had a premiere at 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:26.520 the Zigfeld Theater and I remember right after the movie ended, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.560 the place went silent. Usually there would be applause, but 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.520 everyone was like stunned by the movie. And then it 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.040 just and I was like, oh no, they hated the movie, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.079 but then both they erupped it with it. It was 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.839 like unbelievable people and I was like, oh my god, 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:45.360 they loved this movie. I mean it was really Uh, 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.160 it was pretty cool. I didn't know what we had, 0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:51.160 and um, I don't think anyone really did, except for 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.040 Tom Beranger. I think if you look at all the 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.080 people that were in Platoon, they were a lot of 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.240 them were like yourselves. They were starting out and they've 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:06.880 gone on to have unbelievable careers and become worldwide phenomenons 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.520 as actors. Yeah, I mean some of these guys, I 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.480 mean I I talked to Keith David recently. I tried 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.240 to get him because I I did a movie called 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:18.240 Buddy Games too. We did a sequel to the first 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:21.240 Buddy Games. It's gonna be hilarious, but I wanted Keith 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:23.960 David in there, so I called them off and I 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.640 was like, Keith, you gotta do it, and he couldn't 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.199 do because he already had a couple of things set up. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:31.760 But um, yeah, I mean, all these guys, it's crazy 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:36.160 how much we've all stayed in contact. John C McGinley, 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:40.360 Johnny c who's Captain O'Neill, he's in the movie that 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.760 I did in the in the pilot I did with 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.760 Charlie as well. So that one's gonna be cool because 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.920 it's it's got a little bit of Entourage. We've got 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.199 Kevin Connolly's in it and some of my Platoon guys, 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.480 and it's directed and written by Doug Allen, who created Entourage. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.120 So we'll we'll see what happens to the pilot. If 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.160 I was a betting man, i'd say, yeah, it goes, 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:04.360 but you know a lot of pilots don't go, so 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.000 we'll see what happens. I don't think people realize, you know, 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.280 you know, I'm in the golf world. You're an actor, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.640 you love golf. But I don't think people realize how 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:19.200 hard it is to actually be an actor and say 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.360 that's what you want to try and do and then 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:24.920 actually make it. I think Entourage did an amazing job 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:30.200 at at showing people that whole process of the kind 0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.760 of up and down. And I always say, I lived 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.240 in l A for almost three years. It's one of 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.800 my favorite places I lived in Hollywood. I lived up 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.920 in the Hollywood Hills, and I'm so glad that I 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 lived in l A. Because when I watch Entourage and 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:45.600 people go, oh, you know, I'm like, no, no, no, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.320 that's it's it's really like that. I mean, I think 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:54.160 you you guys did an unbelievable job and encapsulating kind 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:57.760 of that Hollywood, but not in kind of the way 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:00.120 that it was in like you know, Tim Robbin in 0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:02.760 the Player where you couldn't figure that out right, I mean, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.080 it's just too you know, that Warren Beatty era of 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.679 what Hollywood was supposed to be like. But I think 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.280 Nto Roge encapsulated what kind of being young and trying 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.880 to make it in Hollywood is Um, you have to 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.960 have an enormous amount of fixed skin. I mean your 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.199 character Johnny Drama, which to me is one of the 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:26.600 greatest television you know, rules of all time. But that 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.600 type of thing where you're the butt of a lot 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.320 of jokes, but you're basically that character is trying to 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.320 do what you did, just trying to make it get 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.880 any part. And he did it. He did it too, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.599 by the way, because in the movie he won to 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.720 a Golden Globe, which I've been nominated. I didn't win, 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:49.360 So Johnny Dramas actually surpassed me. But but I love 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.520 the character, and it's the great thing about that shows 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:54.800 it showed both sides of it. Not everyone's going to 0:11:54.880 --> 0:12:00.080 be Vince, you know. Um Mark Wahlberg, who this the 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.079 whole show is kind of based upon. I mean, he's 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.880 been blessed. Everything he touches seems to work out great 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.480 and uh but and it's been been really good for 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:14.040 his brother too. Donnie's done really well. And the Drama 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.600 character wasn't really based on Donnie. Donnie has done he 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.560 Donnie's killed it himself. It's more based around Uh, he 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.520 calls him his cousin. This guy Johnny Alves and but 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.600 I love I've had so many actors come up to me. 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:31.000 I feel like I'm carrying the flag for all actors 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:34.040 who have been struggling and fighting and trying to get 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.880 it done and who have been like disrespected in auditions. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.960 And they're like, I love that audition, Seed, when when 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.240 you were in there, you stood up against you know, 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.559 when they he was on his cell phone, he should 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:47.960 have been listening to you. You know. I love all 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.480 those scenes are great. Um, it was really great writing, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:55.880 and uh, I love the cast. The other guys were great. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.760 But it really does show you what Hollywood is like, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.600 was like and will always probably be like I mean 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:08.679 with the army stuff and you got the agents, the managers, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:14.199 the lawyers and you know, business managers, all these aspects 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.559 of this show. We're all great. Uh. How much, Kevin, 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:24.240 do you feel like Hollywood is hard work honing your 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:28.200 craft and how much of it is chance? Dumblock that 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:32.200 that the stars aligned and you get a break and 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.040 something happened. Cause I think everybody like sports thinks and 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.200 I have a lot of young golfers who come to 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:40.719 me all the time. The dad says, you'll never meet 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.160 anyone that will work harder than my son or my daughter. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:47.440 And I'm like, that's kind of a prerequisite. You don't 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:49.320 make it work hard if you want to be on 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.400 the PGA tour. Yeah, I mean, I think it's a 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.679 little bit of both. In Hollywood, though, you have to 0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.200 kind of I was a little lucky to have my 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.920 brother Matt, who's already a big, big names, so that 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:06.760 kind of helped me out. But now there's you know, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.199 I got like thirty five years in the business, So 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.400 I mean, you're not gonna make it past the first 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.160 five if you're not good and if you don't work hard. 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.280 So it's a little it's a little bit of both. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.120 In Hollywood. You have to have a certain look for 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:22.320 the right I mean sometimes I can't tell you how 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.200 many times they said, oh, they like you, but they 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.080 were gonna go in a different direction, you know. And 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.040 then obviously if your calfs aren't right for the role, 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.960 and of course one of the great, one of the great, 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:36.640 now you made me do it. Here we go, Here 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.320 we go. Look Look look at that implant. Huh look 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.440 at that thing? Wait, wiggles around. That's a real deal 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:49.240 right there. That's that's that's no implant bro how much um. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.600 Right after the US opened the Tiger One in two 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.400 thousand and eight, I was working I was living in 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.400 l A. And my dad was working with Phil Nicholson 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.080 at the time, and they shot the episode at Trump 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.560 National where Phil was in the episode. It was like 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.960 the Monday Tuesday after. I remember all the guys were 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:09.560 there and stuff. Um, golf has played. I think a 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.840 huge part of Entourage. I mean, it's amazing to me 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:16.240 was that your guy's input that we're the golfers, was 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.480 that Doug was that the writers was at Mark whose 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:24.160 idea was to put so much golf content in Entourage. Well, well, 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:27.080 to be honest with you, that was me that made 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.000 that happen because I met Phil. I was I was 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.120 a Jerry Ferrara. We were we were playing at San Diego, 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:36.480 I think we were at the Bridge's Great Golf Course 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.720 and uh, we just finished up around and we were 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:47.360 going in to have lunch and Phil Michelson walked right 0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:49.360 by and he did the cap thing, you know, like 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.880 like you know, the little cap tip. But but he 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.720 he didn't more like to cover himself up, like I 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.560 don't want to be recognized right now. He's walking out 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:00.720 to his trunk, and I was like, I can't let 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.800 this go. I gotta say what's up to Phil? And 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:05.840 I went in with my dad because my dad was 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.920 a portrait is you know, he passed just a year ago, 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.280 but he's a great portrait painter. He painted all the greats, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:16.280 you know Jack and Arnie and you know Gary Player 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.480 and Phil. And so I went up and I said, hey, Phil, 0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.800 Kevin Dill, I just have to say hi, because he 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.600 was really trying to get away. He didn't wuld not 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.040 want to be right. And he went, oh my god, 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.440 you got a drop. So he loved he loved the show. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.880 So that was cool. And I said, you know my 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:34.960 dad and he goes, yeah, yeah, And he told this 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.720 great story about how when he my dad took a 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.320 picture a Phil to paint him. But when he and 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.640 Phil post for the for the picture and he was like, uh, 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.400 my dad was like, do you want a golf club? 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.040 You want to hold the golf club? He's like yeah, 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.160 and they so they just grabbed any old golf club 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.360 and he was a right handed golf club and he 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.960 took it and he painted the right handed golf club. 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:03.560 And then later when my dad presented the painting to fill. 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.000 My dad went, oh my god, I give you a 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.280 painted you with the right handed golf club. Give it 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.320 to me. I'll fix it. I'm gonna change it to 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.000 a left handed club. He goes, no, no, no, no, 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.359 I like it. Phil said, I like it just the 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.280 way it is. I love the story behind it. Keep 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.439 it right handed. I love it. And Phil told me 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:25.199 that story. My dad had forgotten about that, and so 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.520 we sat down. He's like, come join us for lunch. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:30.639 We and we sat and we talked, and I didn't 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:35.240 realize that the episode that was on the way didn't 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:38.440 air yet, was just the one where are He says, 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:41.840 he's collapsing like Phil at Wingfoot? So I mean, there 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.120 is that big and I forgot that that didn't there 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.520 and that was on its way out. But I said, Phil, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.639 we I would love to have you got to do 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.160 the show? Will you do Entourage? He goes, hell, yeah, 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.480 I'll definitely do Entourage. I called Dog Allen right away. 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.760 I said, Dog, I got Phil Nicholson. When you right 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.480 him into the show. He goes, yeah, put them on. 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.359 I put the two of Mom and the rest of 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:08.640 this history. But when he saw that episode, he went 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:13.960 to dog, he went like so collapsing like Philip Wingfoot. Uh, 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.680 And of course Doug was like, yeah, sorry about that. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:18.480 You know, we didn't know what we're gonna get you 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.600 as a guest spot, but when you know, we love you. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.639 And he was a really great guest. He signed every autograph, 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.560 took photos of the all crew. He was the best. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:32.120 I love Phil And then the episode where you take 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:35.040 Tom Brady's club, you hit the bat shot, you break it. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:36.960 I mean, did you think that you would be the 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.280 butt of a couple of years ago when Bryson's at 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.240 the British Open, he's talking about how he doesn't like 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.000 you were the meme that everybody was coming up with. 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:48.480 They were putting Bryson's face on you beating the club up. 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:52.360 I mean, it's amazing how you could have never envisioned 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.440 that that could happen. That was hilarious. And I love Bryson. 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.119 I love what you know. What he did here at 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:01.200 Wingfoot was amazing. I mean this place, so Bryson's great, 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.520 he's a great champion for wing Foot, but they also 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.360 had uh Brooks was in there too, and I got 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.360 to be Brooks and so I mean both of those 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.000 guys I love. But it's so funny how that carries 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.160 on the you know. Um. It was one episode of many, 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.200 but it was fun. And the crazy thing about we 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:25.320 tried to break that club so many times and they 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.960 prop guys kept scoring the club and they wanted me 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:30.640 to break it over my knee and it just looked 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.880 like crap. It was like it would break like a pencil. 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.919 And I was like, guys, this club would not break 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.000 like this. This looks terrible, and they all agreed. I said, 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.320 just let me break this. Back the camera up so 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.520 you could see the whole my whole body, and I'll 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.480 break this club properly. I know how to break a club, 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.760 let me tell you. So I took it. I slam 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:54.600 it on the ground and I stepped on it and 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.000 it came out like that you shape, which was perfect, 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:00.720 and I held it up and and then there is 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.520 turtle go. You broke Tom Brady's club at you asshole. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.680 It was It was great. I mean, it was an 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.200 episode that was that was so fun that the plus fours, 0:20:11.280 --> 0:20:14.240 I was wearing the hat, I looked like Payne Steward. 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.240 It was just it was awesome. I love golf and 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:23.600 I got all the guys into golf. Who who's the best? Yeah, 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.800 on the cast of On, I'm the best. But I'm 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:30.119 terrible right now. I mean I'm really I'm struggling. I 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:33.639 didn't get to play all summer. So I actually, uh 0:20:33.920 --> 0:20:38.000 tried to get an emergency lesson yesterday and I couldn't 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.520 get one because our pro was ill. And but I 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.240 need a little work right now. But when I'm hitting 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.920 the ball, well, I got down to a seven and 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:49.400 uh but right now, Jerry Fer was hitting the ball 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.399 really well. Kevin Connolly just joined the golf club and 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:55.919 he's starting to strike the ball. Everyone's into it, and 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:57.879 I feel, you know, I got a little pride, So 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.560 you know that the fact that I enter u's these 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.600 guys to the game in a lot of ways. And uh, 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.800 it's great. So golf is a big part of it 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.920 and a big part of who we are. It was 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:14.600 a big part of the show. And Doug Ellen loves 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:19.159 golf too, so the creator of Entourage. Uh yeah, I 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.560 just golf is me. I just love this place. I 0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.199 love foot I love everything about it. Let's take a 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:39.400 quick break and we are back my dad. Um, they 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.159 used my dad's name. In an episode to where um, 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:44.919 Jeremy Piven Ari's in in his in his office and 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:46.680 he says the Lloyd. He's like, Lloyd, if I don't 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:48.119 I think it was like, if I don't win the 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.440 club championship, I'm gonna sue, butch Harmon's ask. So that's 0:21:51.480 --> 0:21:53.840
