Speaker 1: And I invited you.

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: Here THOUGHTA mad myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest

3
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And

46
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 3: I've said I was not going to take the backyard

47
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: for granted, probably a few months ago, and then immediately

48
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: started taking it for granted. And then, you know, so

49
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: we're trying to return to a place of being happy

53
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: issue for all of us right now. It's got to

54
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: repair itself. The birds have got a whatever is happening

Speaker 3: Well, let's make this our like first five hour episode.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: the biggest in everything I do. So when I have

Speaker 1: here as long as I feel like because it's beautiful.

73
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: There's like children playing, there's birds chirping. You've really created

74
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: quite a space back here.

75
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that I can take almost no credit

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: for it, but I'm trying to maintain.

77
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: This is Hollywood. Bridger, take the credit, Cake the credit.

78
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: It's a good fact. Since Bridge's not taking the credit.

79
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: Everyone who's listening, I'd like you to know that I've

80
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: actually been the one responsible for creating this incredible space.

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: We'd like to thank David, my contractor, for finally coming

82
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 3: on the podcast. He's done a beautiful job with the home.

83
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: He acts, he writes, he contracts. I wish I could

84
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: contract My wife would think that's so hot. She loves

85
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: it at what I do, But I do. I think

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: if I could fix one thing in my home, if

87
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: she would just be like, the clothes would be ripped

88
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: off me. In a second. I come in so excited

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: about the new comic book that I've written. You know,

90
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: I get a very very loving and supportive pat on

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: the back. But if I could one time fix a

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: leaky uh. We have a leaky uh skylight that has

93
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: been leaking forever. It's like your garage, is it better?

94
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: Did you fix it?

95
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: David? The situation with the water is I mean, I'm

96
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: hearing this, hearing a leak in your home. It is

97
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: setting off so many trauma along.

98
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Trigger alert, trigger alert.

99
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 3: It's too much for me. I mean, I'm it's also

100
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: comforting to know that another person has the misery of

101
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: water coming in.

102
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: The misery the misery. Luckily we're Angelino's, so it's a

103
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: short pick of time in which then we quickly relegate

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: it back to the backs of our minds so we

105
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: don't think about it anymore. And then the next year,

106
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: two years later, it comes from and go oh, I

107
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: was supposed to fix that, and now I'm finally doing it,

108
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: and you know how I'm doing it. How I'm going

109
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: to give you the trick? Are you ready I need?

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Because I think you need the same trick as I

111
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: have called delegation. You pay someone else?

112
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: Who are you? But how do you decide on who

113
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: to delicate?

114
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm a rule of threes guy, Okay, I believe in

115
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: a rule of threes. I get three quotes and I

116
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: always go with the cheapest one. Wow, And so is

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: it necessarily the best candidate for the job?

118
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: Is it?

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: The guy who showed up with the ladder that looked

120
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: like it was duct taped together and his pregnant wife.

121
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: This isn't a made up story. His pregnant wife who

122
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: he was making climb the ladder up to my roof

123
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: to take a look around, that's a true story. But

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: their price quote was about one third of everyone else.

125
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: So I thought, well, I do have homeowners insurance and

126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: umbrella insurance for liability. God, she doesn't look safe up there,

127
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: But I'm saving so much money.

128
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 3: Why does he have his pregnant wife doing the ladder work?

129
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: You tell me, you tell me, He looked awfully busy

130
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: on his phone. I was like, this is this is

131
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: not my place. It's not my place. I stick to

132
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: my lane. I'm upstairs writing comic books.

133
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: Well, he's very active on social media, I'm sure, and

134
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: trying to get those likes and so well. But that's

135
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 3: a great trick. I mean, I have had quite a

136
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: few people come through. I've kept no information they've provided,

137
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: so I don't know what the quotes are. Are you

138
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: getting a yelp to find them? Where are you finding

139
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 3: these people?

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: The second bit of advice I'm gonna give you today,

141
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and this is the second of seventeen pieces of advice.

142
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: I want you to take good notes everyone who's not watching.

143
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: He's got a giant feather quill pen and a large

144
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: yellow roll of paper. It's like a scroll of David

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: dust Mulchin's notes for Bridger. Number two is I'm gonna

146
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: keep going back to this theme. Delegation, delegation, delegation. I

147
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: have a wonderful assistant, my incredible assistant, Jennifer. Who I

148
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: say jen here? I am full grown adult homeowner a

149
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: leaky skylight for this isn't an exaggeration. Everyone, don't spill

150
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: your coffees out there. Six years but I forget about

151
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: it until the next race.

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: It's really the rain goes away and you forget.

153
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: And guess what, each time it gets worse. And so

154
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: now we have a miniature pool which my children love,

155
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: on the second floor of the house. Jennifer, you know

156
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: I could use the Google. Sure, I'm sure I could.

157
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: But I'm busy, Bridger, I am. I have coffee and

158
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: comic book writing moding around the house. I'm getting I'm

159
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: testing out inner tubes. There's so many cool new inner tubes.

160
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: You'd be amazing tubes for what for floating in my pool?

161
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: Oh? Horse, of course.

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: And I do have a pool in the backyard. But

163
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: who needs a pool in the backyard when I can

164
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: have one steps away from my bedroom? So delegation, that's the.

165
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 3: Goal of the delegation. Yeah, that's a I mean, I've

166
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: got my boyfriend. Maybe it's time to shove some of

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: this off on him.

168
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: Yes, And I'm sure yelp, I'll ask Jennifer, I tell

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: you what VI is it? YELP? I don't know. I

170
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: really can't think about it.

171
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: It's hard for I'm getting on yelp and I'm hard.

172
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 3: Do we believe in yelp anymore?

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: Do we know? Because we know that if like if

174
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: I was selling hot dogs and I created a Yelp

175
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: account and I had the resources to delegate let's say,

176
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: ten of my employees to create fake Yelp user accounts

177
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: and go on and say, because you can tell, Oh,

178
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: it's so easy to tell performers. Yes, I can smell

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: performance a mile away. I hope everyone listening cant. This

180
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: is like John Waters smell a vision. I want you

181
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: to lean close to your laptop or whatever listening device

182
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: you're using. Can you smell the performance I'm giving today?

183
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: Trust me, it's not as powerful or difference as the

184
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: ones you see on Yelp. Sometimes it's desperate and you

185
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: get this was the.

186
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: Best hot dog.

187
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: This is not my aunt's hot dog stand. I would

188
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: never create a fake Yelp account to tell you how

189
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: incredible the condiments. I can't stop thinking about them. We

190
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: went on our anniversary to get a massage at next

191
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: to this hot dog place. Sometimes the stories are so conclude,

192
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: so you get what I'm saying.

193
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: Of course, Yeah, I think there was a period when

194
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: he help. Maybe it must have been twenty ten. It's

195
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: been years since you could get on there and be

196
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 3: like I trust this and screened for the Truth? Did

197
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: they screen for the truth? Oh?

198
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: I think it was like screen forty And then who

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: was it? Elon musk to No, was it was it

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg? No, I'm just kidding. Someone took it over

201
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: and realized why would we want to do that when

202
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: we can monetize this thing so powerfully? Because we all

203
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: know as performers. This is rule number three of David

204
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: Desmalchin's notes to bridge. Your illusion is so much more

205
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: fun than reality.

206
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: Sometimes I love just a we love a little bit

207
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: of magic, a little bit of smoke and mirrors, even

208
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: if it's with a yell review of Chipotle. Oh god,

209
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: you know, it's so much fun.

210
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: For my anniversary, we went to Chipole, this guacamole romance.

211
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: We finally rekindled that spark.

212
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I felt like the server knew me.

213
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: Uh so you I mean, this leak and we'll get

214
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: away from water. But I do want to just like

215
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 3: when the rain began, was it like, let's brace ourselves,

216
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: let's get a pail out.

217
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: And no, no, bridger, come on you, you have to

218
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: understand this has been for years and years, so it's

219
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: not until and that only is making that because there's

220
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: now a puddle that it seemed, and I was organizing

221
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: old scripts from the attic that I had had in

222
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: the giant tupperware boxes. I was trying to make space

223
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: and clear things out so that I could delgat the

224
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: responsibility to my assistant to pick up these heavy boxes

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: and take to a storage unit that I don't know

226
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: where it is, because why should I. She's the one

227
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: who found it, and I think she found it through yelp.

228
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: But the boxes were underneath where the water was coming.

229
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: So what did I do? I just took some of

230
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: the good don't take the good towels, David, My poor wife,

231
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: she got the good towe We just had our bathroom redone.

232
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: And why would you put the good towels? And what

233
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: are the towels going to do when you keep throwing

234
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: a towel into a pool.

235
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: Good luck every towel in my house, the good towels,

236
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: the bad towels. We used to dry the dog. It

237
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 3: was every towel it exists. And now when I'm drawing

238
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: myself off, I'm thinking this was used to mop up floodwater.

239
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: What is happening in my life?

240
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: And here this is the Hollywood way of solving this problem.

241
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: As well. Besides delegation. I'll tell you a quick sidebar.

242
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: I was having a really tricky time. Gosh, was this

243
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: almost two years ago? Yes, my gosh, it was the

244
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: August of two thousand and twenty one, so a year

245
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: and a half ago. I separated from my family on

246
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: it job, going through some really difficult times, a lot

247
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: of stress, both personally professionally. One of the exercises that

248
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: I work through in therapy is, you know, using the

249
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: power of our mind to go to places that help

250
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: us to regulate, get our breath, back to a place

251
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: of calm, trying to get ourselves, you know, back to

252
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: our present state of being. And this magic that I found.

253
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: I was in the lovely little island of Malta working

254
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: on a film, and I was so stressed and my

255
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: physically exhausted. We were working these crazy hours in crazy schedule,

256
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: and when I would ever get a little break, I

257
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: bought myself a cheap little scuba mask from the not school,

258
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 1: you know, a snorkeling thing from the little shotski shop

259
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: on the way, and I would go float in the

260
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: water and watch the little fishes and just get zen

261
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: and present and breathe through the know of course snorkeling too,

262
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: because you don't want to breathe underwater. And that's now

263
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: my place I go to when I feel like I'm

264
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: getting bumped out of my uh presence space. So the

265
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: great thing was I walk in. There's the water trickling

266
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: through the thing. There's the pool in the floor, the

267
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: new floors which we just had redone by the way,

268
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: beautiful floors, and I just, you know, I laid down

269
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: in that pool and I floated and I didn't think

270
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: about a thing. And my poor wife walked in and

271
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: discovered me there and thought, he can't even.

272
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: And how many snorkeling masks did you end up buying?

273
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: I bought three because I thought that the first one

274
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: was the right size. It was it didn't save the receipt.

275
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: This was like a chosk.

276
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: This was like a save the receipt in Malta.

277
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this wasn't a hey can you look at my

278
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: chase app? Because I bought that the you know, it

279
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: was like okay, and it was what ten dogs? So

280
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: I got another one. And I was laying by the

281
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: side of the water one day, terrible mood, trying to

282
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: get zent and really angry at the world, and I

283
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: was just trying to do all I could to get

284
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: to a good space. So laying there, and then I

285
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: got fascinated by how much litter there was on this

286
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: beautiful beach. So I went to clean all the litter,

287
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and I accidentally put that mask in with the litter,

288
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: which I then tossed out. Third mask is now at

289
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: my home in Sherman Oaks. Okay, and it's a good one.

290
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on to that.

291
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah?

292
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: Will I mean, were you able to enjoy Malta at all?

293
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: I'm so curious about maybe because of the Maltese falcon.

294
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: There's some sense of mystery there, Bridger.

295
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: They're flying over us right now because they knew I

296
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: was about to talk about this, and TMZ has been

297
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: dying to know my thoughts on Malta. They want the

298
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: scoop tip four. Whenever you've got a big tip and

299
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: you go on a podcast, you save it till you know.

300
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: TMZ is hovering overhead.

301
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: This is essentially the Madonna Sean Penn wedding all over

302
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: so many helicopters circles.

303
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: This is justin Bieber's junk at the hotel room window.

304
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: I have basically never I didn't know anything about Malta.

305
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of film noir and I love

306
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: classic cinema, and so the Maltese falcon as you mentioned,

307
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: is my only familiarity. I honestly, I thought it was

308
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: maybe somewhere near Morocco in the Mediterranean. Didn't really know,

309
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: and this is near cosa Blank, I'm not sure. So

310
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: when I got the opportunity to go, we'd been filming

311
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: in Berlin and then we went to Malta because it

312
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: was a film that's set aboard a giant sailing vessel

313
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: in the eighteen hundreds, and they have these big, beautiful

314
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: pools that have been built for movies to put boats

315
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: and their infinity pools, so the way that you shoot them,

316
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: it looks like you're at sea, even though you're really

317
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: in a safe, controlled environment where they can cause storms

318
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: and it's very neat. I love movie magic, so I

319
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: did have a little bit of downtime. It was one

320
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: of these things, you know, the COVID stories that will

321
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: tell the tales for the rest of our lives. But

322
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: it was one of these where it's like in the

323
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: height of COVID, so they reserve this entire hotel for

324
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: just us. Wow, which was one And I did have

325
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: my wife and kids with me at first, so they

326
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: were having a blast because the whole staff was meant

327
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: to bubble with us, so they weren't leaving and coming.

328
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Everyone was living there with this U. We're eating all

329
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: of our meals together and going right to set and

330
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: coming back. There's a big, beautiful pool, a big indoor

331
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: heated pool. It was our place, right and it was nice.

332
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: It was very nice. Apparently wasn't nice enough for some

333
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: of the members of the production company who then moved

334
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: into the very crowded public No, yes, tourist jammed luxury

335
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: hotel right across the water. And I'll never forget standing

336
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: there and like looking at me, so all this is

337
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: for this nothing. And by the way, when I was

338
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: laying on that beach, just you know, getting myself present.

339
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: This is one of the many little nudges that I

340
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: received from that experience that put me in such a

341
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: wonderful mood that I had to go float with the

342
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: fishes because I thought, I thought we were all supposed

343
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: to be living in this bubble together. But I don't know,

344
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: maybe someone's wife didn't think it was nice enough, or

345
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: things so then all of a sudden, God, yeah, but hey, Bridger,

346
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: this is note five.

347
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 3: This is Hollywood, this is Hollywood based.

348
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: It's Hollywood, baby, So all all bets are off, All

349
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: bets are COVID rules laws. They'll put the fear of

350
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 1: God in you about one thing. Then you find out

351
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: they're on their private jets, go into Austin texts for

352
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: a concert. It means nothing. But this is Hollywood, baby.

353
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: If someone's even mildly uncomfortable, it doesn't meet their standards suddenly.

354
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: By yeah, which is why I want to be the boss.

355
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, I love being the employee, but it would

356
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: be nice to be the boss once in a while.

357
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 3: I mean, David, it's really interesting that you bring this up.

358
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: This is, you know, kind of rule breaking behavior. Nothing

359
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: applies to me. I'm in Hollywood. I'll do whatever the

360
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: hell I want because this podcast is called I said

361
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: no gifts. Oh, I was really looking forward to having

362
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: you here today. I was really thinking we would have

363
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: a good time. Thought David's such an interesting person. We're

364
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: gonna have fun, We're gonna chat.

365
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: I'm nervous.

366
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: Well, we'll bond over our mutual leaking homes and then

367
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: maybe move on. So I was a little I don't

368
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: want to say upset. I was a little shaken when

369
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: you pull up to my house and get out of

370
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 3: your car and you're holding a i'll say it, a

371
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: massive bag.

372
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: May I ask you? Is it the biggest bag?

373
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: Thing?

374
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: Is the biggest bag we've ever gotten? The next guest

375
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: is gonna have to buy me a car to be.

376
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: So triumphant today. Everybody listening, I want you to know

377
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 1: I haven't smiled like this since I saw the Muppet

378
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: Movie in kindergarten. I am grinning so broadly right now.

379
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: All of my teeth, which I just got cleaned, are

380
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: really shining in the sun of this beautiful backyard oasis.

381
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 3: We may have to circle back to the Muppet movie

382
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 3: and dental work. I love both of those topics. But

383
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 3: right now I'm not letting you distract me. I'm keeping

384
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: my eye on the ball. It's a PJ Masks gift bag.

385
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 3: This is clearly a gift for me.

386
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: There's no question none whatsoever. I know you well, you

387
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: know me extremely J Masks. It is part of the

388
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: zeitgeist at the moment, and I like to tap into

389
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: things like that. It's like there's pickleball, PJ masks, and

390
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't know a few other things that I feel

391
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: like all the hip kids are into these days, Am

392
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: I right?

393
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 3: PJ masks, everybody's doing runch.

394
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: Avocado toast and PJ masks.

395
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 3: Well, I mean the truth is out. Should I open

396
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: it here on the podcast?

397
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: I would be very happy if you did. It's gonna

398
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: be a bit of a thing I want. Can I

399
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: tell a quick tale?

400
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: Of course?

401
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: So I'm a bit of a mama's boy. I was

402
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: raised at Kansas. My mother always taught me that if

403
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: you're going to the first time at someone's home, perhaps

404
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: first time for a business meeting, maybe any party, you

405
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: never ever ever come empty handed. And as a host

406
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: of many, many, many gatherings, I'm a social butterfly, Okay.

407
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: I mean our house is like it is party central.

408
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: We have a pool on the second floor in case

409
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: anybody listening wants to know if they should come to

410
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: a party at my house. We have kids' birthday parties.

411
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: I don't just do the bouncy house. I bring in

412
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: the wild animal guy. I don't. We have grown up parties.

413
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: I don't just bring in you know, good DJ. We

414
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: get live music. I mean, I go all out. But

415
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I always say, hey, no, get well here.

416
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: I used to always say no gifts, and then people

417
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: listened sometimes and I just felt like, I'm going to

418
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: disobey your order, sure, because I care, and I care

419
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 1: more about honoring the spirit of my mother than following

420
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: your my feelings then your feelings and your rules, and

421
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: if boundaries must be broken, they're damn well going to

422
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: be broken. Well. So, just to give you a little hint,

423
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: I thought, because we're just getting to know each other,

424
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: we're just forging the foundations of this leak bonded friendship,

425
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to give you a gift that kind of

426
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: reflected a bit of myself. And I went to one

427
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: of my favorite little nooks around the Los Angeles area

428
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: that really tends to represent what I what I'm looking

429
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: for and things that I care about, and kind of

430
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: struck out and so I thought, well, I'm just gonna

431
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: put myself on a budget jay as we called it

432
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Did anybody else do this

433
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Jacques Pine? No, Yeah, we called it Jackpine because we

434
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: would always have stuff on layaway layway. I mean, it's June,

435
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: maybe July I'm thinking about Christmas. My poor parents. What

436
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: a budget. I don't know how they did it. I

437
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: really don't lay Away Way.

438
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: Layoway is an incredible thing that I feel like it's

439
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 3: kind of vanished.

440
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: Can I talk about the haircuts I used to get it? Jockpine,

441
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: you got haircuts. They had a little bar who got

442
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: a woman and a guy in the jaz Penny right

443
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: near the Layaway Death. You'd go in, they'd put I

444
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: mean it was straight up bowl cut. I don't know

445
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: why my mom could have saved the three dollars and

446
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: fifty cents. Terrible haircuts, but you could get your haircutage.

447
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 3: I'm remembering. I'm having a sense memory of the like

448
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 3: shampoo conditioner smell when we would go to the catalog counter.

449
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: The salon was right there. God, it was like a

450
00:21:59,240 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 3: lot of time.

451
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: What a time?

452
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: What a time?

453
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: So anyway, so I'm gonna admit this publicly to the world.

454
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: I'm I could be a cheap skate.

455
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: Oh sure. So I was making my lin.

456
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: I made a little pack to myself. I thought, well,

457
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: I love this show. I think it'll be fun. I

458
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: can talk about it to Bridger. I'm gonna say I'm

459
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna walk into this lovely Goodwill and I'm gonna buy

460
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: the first thing I see, and that's the gift. Well,

461
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: I should know myself too well by now, because I

462
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: walked in. I did buy the first thing that I saw,

463
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: but it was so odd and it just is so unique,

464
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: and so I don't know that. I thought, well, I

465
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: don't want to just show up with that. So let's

466
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: see what's the second thing I see? Oh, that was

467
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: a good one. Oh, let's see what the third thing

468
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: is that I see? That was good? And then it

469
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: just got out of control. I have a problem. I

470
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 1: don't know when to stop. So I'd love it if

471
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: you want to do this. I want it together. My

472
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: dear friend Cat Bardoux, amazing makeup artists. She sculps eyebrows.

473
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: She came over last night and wrapped a couple.

474
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 3: Of gifts for me. Some packed you emptied the Goodwill.

475
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: I did you mind? Is that? Okay? Can we just

476
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: make a day of this? Can I say? I said,

477
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be a five hour podcast. Everybody listening.

478
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: I want you to stretch. I want you to get

479
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 1: a big glass of water. Exercises traded.

480
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm pulling out another a wrapped gift, which is

481
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: is this shining themed wrapping paper?

482
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: It is? I love that film so much. It's an

483
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: important film in my life. I'm sure, such a beautiful

484
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: so many of ours. So yes, that is uh, that

485
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: is like the carpeting right of the hotel.

486
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 3: David is doing a beautiful job of opening.

487
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: I am really jo wrapping cats. I'm not a good rapper.

488
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm horrible. I'm devastating.

489
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: So this is one of the Goodwill discoveries that I'm

490
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 1: very proud of because I want one, and I think

491
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: it's important to give people what you want so they

492
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: know you better.

493
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: This looks like an item that may be unused.

494
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 1: These are I would not give you used. Especially when

495
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: you see one of the items, you'd be very disappointed.

496
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you clothes from the good Will.

497
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Even though I've bought many clothing item for the good Will.

498
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have time to go get it washed, get

499
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: it all done.

500
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: Okay, what isn't it? Okay, So it's called so easy

501
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: egg eas it never Oh, this is something that I

502
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: truly want. Yeah, it's you know, a hard boiled egg.

503
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: It somehow peels the egg for you.

504
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: You hard boil the egg without the shell, bridger without

505
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: the shell. Wait, you the crisis right now, and I

507
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: my dear, I'm not joking. My friend Eleana called me

00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: this point and said, I had a terrible nightmare last night.

509

510
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,399

Speaker 1: there's you know, egg farmers out there struggling and people

512

Speaker 3: I'm going to have a full Thanksgiving me get ready.

559
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: I've got the Potato Express microwave potato cooker, which I

560
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: feel like is the most unnecessary. Can't you just throw

561
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: a potato in a microwave?

562
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: It's never as good? Bridger, how do you do? Made

563
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: me ask, how do you do you do baked potatoes?

564
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 3: I don't do a baked potatoes, but I've never done

565
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 3: one in a microwave.

566
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: If we know that, what a flex, Ladies and gentlemen.

567
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: I have to move my seat back because first of all,

568
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: I meant to ask, do you do deviled eggs?

569
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 3: I don't I do a hard boiled egg.

570
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: Har Okay, you've been to say a summertime barbecue with.

571
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 3: With a devil. I'll show up with just a huge,

572
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 3: loose bag of hard boiled eggs, just wet as possible.

573
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: I love good the jar of pickled hard boiled eggs.

574
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: Can we just have you had one before? I haven't dared,

575
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: but I know I'm going to do it at some

576
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: point in my life.

577
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: It feels like it's that's a mountain everyone should climb,

578
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: everyone needs. I haven't done it before.

579
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Try anything one.

580
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: There must be something to it. They're all over the nation.

581
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: Well they're internationally. It's a big deal.

582
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: I believe that I was.

583
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: I mean, any pub establishment should go into it. Seems

584
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: like in the world there's one language that everyone speaks,

585
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: and it's the language of the pickled egg jar.

586
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 3: I feel like other countries in general are just way

587
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: more comfortable with pickling than the United States.

588
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: Some some more comfortable with pickling than smiling or I

589
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: don't know, it depends where you are in the world.

590
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: Some people are more you know, kind. But I always

591
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: find the pickled egg jar, and I always wonder and

592
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: they never just seems like no one's touched it in

593
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: a long time. But I think they last forever. They must,

594
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: just like the potato Express for anyone listening who's curious.

595
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: It's a timeless gift. It's something that really says I

596
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: love you. If you're thinking about the I know we've

597
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: got Valentines approaching. The Potato Express is we we do

598
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: bake potatoes. We love a baked potato bar, but we

599
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: normally would rub it in olive oil, put some kosher

600
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: salt on it. If you wrap it in a luminofoil,

601
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: put it in the oven and there goes in an

602
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: hour of wait time with the Potato Express ladies and gentlemen,

603
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: as seen on television, you can watch your favorite show

604
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: and in just four minutes you're gonna have a fresh, hot,

605
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: baked potato. It's gonna taste like it came right out

606
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: of the oven.

607
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: Full disclosure, David is a huge investor in Potato Express.

608
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: I do get kickbacks. They're listening, They're like, wait, are

609
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: you going on? I said, no gifts, I said, I am.

610
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: Why do you ask? They said, but what would you

611
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: do for twenty five extra domars? I'll pimp your potatoes? Okay?

612
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 3: Next, okay, I mean, let's put these aside, because there

613
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 3: are you so many I like to cook. I actually

614
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 3: like to cook.

615
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't you don't like you, and this is the

616
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: reason why, because you're always afraid of burning your finger.

617
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: I'm famous for being afraid of burning burning my face.

618
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: I live in fear, abject terror of possibly injuring these

619
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: really beautiful hands of mine. Well, never, never again, because

620

631
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 3: are essentially uh to protect your hands from burning. But

Speaker 3: Shell. This is this is someone who doesn't own a

639
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,560

640
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: they don't have a spatula.

641
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: Hey, that's one way to look at it. Rule six

642
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: on David's notes to the Hollywood Aspiring Podcaster is look,

643
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: always be using your imagination. Always be using your imagination.

644
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Lady and gentlemen. Hot hands. It's amazing. It's heat safe

645
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: cooking gloves. You can use this for reasons that they

646
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: can't legally put on the bag. There are things that

647
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: I know you can do with a hot hands glove

648
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: that if you're listening and you're considering possibly doing some experimenting,

649
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't. I can't. Even there's yard work

650
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: you can do with it.

651
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 3: There's rescue a family member from a burning home.

652
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: Burning home. I mean, before we get carried away with

653
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: hot hands, should we go this just I had to

654
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: grab because it was I mean, it looks used. It's not,

655
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: I promise. And there's twelve. I mean, I guess our

656
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: listeners need to know what we've.

657
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 3: What is this thing? It's an Oreo Ultimate Dunking set,

658
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: which every home should have.

659
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: Every home should.

660
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: If you don't have this, your life is totally a problem.

661
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: I've had often. I have a jar of milk because

662
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: I only buy milk by the jump. I have a

663
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: mug because I only drink out a mug. And I'll

664
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: have a big, big, beautiful, long plastic box of Oreo cookies.

665
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know because I've heard if you dunk

666
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Oreos and milk, it's a thing.

667
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: You've heard, that's a thing.

668
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: But I've never figured out how to.

669
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 3: Go cross that bridge. I couldn't have the set. You

670
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 3: didn't have the tongs that come with this. It's got

671
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: or little. It's almost a tweezer.

672
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: It's ultimate. It's an ultimate dunking set. Ladies and jem

673
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: you get two glasses, you get two cookie cages. You

674
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: know what a cookie cage is. By the way, I'm

675
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna lie. Okay. I've got a

676
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: incredible five year old daughter named Penny, who is just

677
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: the funniest person I know. My son Arlo, also one

678
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: of the most funny people I know. He's eight. We

679
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: do love a cookie dick dipped. We love a cookie.

680
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: We love a cookie dipped in milk.

681
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: The whole other TV.

682
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: A cookie dipped in milk does tend to if you

683
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: leave it just a hair too long start to crumble.

684
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: It may end up at the bottom of the mud cookies.

685
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: And my five year old, no matter how long it's

686
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: been since she's washed her hands, no matter how much

687
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 1: playground dirt is under those nails, she's gonna just gladly

688
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: reach right in to that milk, causing me to lose

689
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: my appetite and kind of pale and walk away from

690
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: the scene and ultimately cause major problems for my family.

691
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: Of course, this is one of the leading causes of

692
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: the ruptured family in America right now. Cookie dunking gone wrong.

693
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 3: Now medical emerge with the cookie cage. What does the

694
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 3: cookie cake? Are you putting it into the mug?

695
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: You put the cookie in the cage, bridger, and then

696
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: you dip it into the mug full of milk, and

697
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: then you have no worries. You can lay back. First,

698
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: you could listen to this whole podcast as it stretches

699
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: into its seventeenth hour, and you can pull that cage

700
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: out when you're darn well ready. That cookie's gonna be soaked.

701
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna have soaked up as much milk as you want.

702
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be so and then you hold the cake

703
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: above your mouth, open it and there you go.

704
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: You've created a milkshake. You do you have a favorite cookie?

705
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: You know? I thank you for asking.

706
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 3: I need to know because this is a topic that's

707
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 3: very important.

708
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: Many many, many things. And I know she's going to

709
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: listen to this and laugh when I say it. But

710
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: it's the absolute truth. And I can hear her right

711
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: now saying that's not true. I'm a philistine in my

712
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: wife's eyes. I am a guy from Kansas whose favorite

713
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: food is still fried chicken, and I love the deviled egg,

714
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: and I love you know. I'm just I'm simple, simple man.

715
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: Simple means salt of the earth. As someone would say,

716
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: I I love go into your chain grocery store and

717
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: getting that cheap box of the sugar cookies with the

718
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: pink icing or sometimes the blue icing rum. The brand

719
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 1: that I keep my eyes peeled for the most is

720
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: loft House. Although there are some knockoff brands, there's something

721
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: about it that reminds me of being a kid and

722
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: making cookies with playto There's even a smell to it

723
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: that kind of evokes that childhood Plato sense memory. That

724
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: is that's it.

725
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 3: I love a loft House. I mean it is maybe

726
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: the softest food on the planet. You don't need teeth

727
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 3: to chew a loft house skin.

728
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: You don't. In fact, it's why it's one of the

729
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 1: hottest selling items on the nursing home circuit today, right

730
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: next to hot hands.

731
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 3: Okay, let's get back into the bag.

732
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Bag, Let's get back in the bag.

733
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 3: I feel like I've won a sweepsteaks here.

734
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: So I've spent my life reading comic books. I love

735
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: comic books. I love old comic book, write comic book,

736
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: I write comic books. I love acting in comic book

737
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: adaptations that go to film and television. One of my

738
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: favorite things about comic books is, did you ever read

739
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: comic books?

740
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: I did read comic books. I'm like a casual comic

741
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: book fan, I would say.

742
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: Got it, I am. I was comic curious as a kid,

743
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: and then I went full tilt by third, fourth, fifth grade.

744
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: And I love all form of comic books, but in

745
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: the vintage and classic comic books, which still hold a

746
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: very special place in my heart. They used to really

747
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: utilize at least three, sometimes up to five pages in advertising,

748
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: and they would sell the smallest blocks of advertising and

749
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: it was just filled with the most incredible stuff that

750
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: just tantalized me as a child. Stuff that you'd see

751
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: in the back of there, like Oh, the Magic Kit,

752
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: Get Strong Overnight Kit, This Lucky Rabbit's foot will make

753
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: all your wishes come true. This joy Buzzer will amuse

754
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: your friends. This joke book will make people like you.

755
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: They knew how to advertise to me, and every time

756
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity, I would try and send away

757
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: for these things. These magical X ray specs that were

758
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: going to come in the mail and I was going

759
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: to be able to go to the pool and look

760
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: through people's bathing suits. Didn't work. But one of the

761
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: things that I loved that I would see in the

762
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 1: back was an item that has never lost its I think.

763
00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: Oh, and this is interesting. It's a whoopig cushion. But

764
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 3: we're not calling it a whoope cushion. We're calling it

765
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: a Super Whooper cushion.

766
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: This is twenty twenty three, and because there are issues

767
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: with trademark, branding, etc. I'm now excited to be the

768
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: spokesperson for Super Whooper. With Super Whooper, you get something

769
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: so much better than any whoopie you may have made

770
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: in the past. You may have made Whoopy, But you

771
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: have never made Whooper?

772
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: Where did the Whooper come from?

773
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: Well?

774
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,280
Speaker 3: How fascinating't I haven't used a Whoope cushion or Whooper.

775
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 3: Let's be respectful here in years this is a classic.

776
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: From the minds of the good folks at NASA comes

777
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: Super Whooper. It's a cushion that you inflate, and then

778
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: when your friend comes over to sit in the oasis,

779
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: you distract them by pointing at maybe some exotic bird

780
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: that's perched on a beautiful limb in your backyard. And

781
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: while they're distracted, you slip the super Whooper under their posterior,

782
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: allow them to sit.

783
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 3: They're humiliated. They're absolutely humiliated. Now I have the upper

784
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: hand again, I don't have to worry about them taking

785
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: control of the situation.

786
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: This is Hollywood.

787
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 3: This is Hollywood.

788
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: This is a tip that I think everyone listening needs

789
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: to get out their pens and jot down. Always get

790
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: the upper hand.

791
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 3: Devastate people in any way you possibly can. That's all

792
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: that matters.

793
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: Humiliated them with flatulence. I don't listen. I did sport

794
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot when I was in a kid and all

795
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: the way through high school. Since then, sport just kind

796
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: of wasn't a part of my life. And I went

797
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: to theater school right out of high school, and then

798
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't even really watch anymore. And one sport that

799
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: I've had zero and I mean zilch interest in pursuing

800
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: at all, even though it's actually not exaggerating, cost me

801
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 1: some opportunities professionally to get to hang out with people

802
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: who've invited me because I just never took the time

803
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: to learn. Is golf. Oh, my son at eight decided

804
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: I want to play golf, So I'm taking him on

805
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: saturdays to a driving range I know nothing about. He's incredible,

806
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: he's amazing. He hits the thing and it goes, and

807
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 1: all these very serious guys along the lineup nod and

808
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: he's doing good. And they'll talk to me as if

809
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: you know, I know the things about the iron and

810
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: the thing, and I nod and I go a huh. Well,

811
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: there was a gentleman next to us. Every time he

812
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: swung the club during his driving range practice time was

813
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: he would expel the most unique sound from his posterior.

814
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: And I just tell you this quick anecdote to let

815
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 1: everybody know in case you thought flatulence wasn't funny anymore,

816
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: you've never seen an eight year old cry with laughter.

817
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 1: All this is the way, my son. But he tried

818
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 1: to keep it together because he wanted to be respectful

819
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: of this poor old guy next to him, who, every

820
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: time he swung his club was playing the trombone.

821
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 3: My niece is that age, essentially, and the exact I mean,

822
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 3: it's like a miracle, the sort of humorage, it's all

823
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 3: she wants. Where does that come from?

824
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: I thought they weren't funny anymore, and guess what, they're

825
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: still funny.

826
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 3: A seven to eight year old. It's the world to them.

827
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: And honestly, I was also laughing.

828
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 3: What sports were you playing?

829
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: I kind of tried everything as a kid, but the

830
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: sport I excelled the most because by time I got

831
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: to high school, I was doing I was running in

832
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: the spring and doing track and field, but wrestling in

833
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: the winter. And then my biggest sport that I was

834
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: the best at was football. Wow, I was. I was

835
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: a big boy by my senior year of high school.

836
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm about six two and I weighed like two hundred

837
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds while you were hitting the gym, I

838
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:41,280
Speaker 1: was very big. My older brother was a really excellent

839
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,439
Speaker 1: basketball player. And I had seen his past. I knew,

840
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: let's go back to the Muppet movie. Okay, Kindergarten. I

841
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: was sitting in the front of the theater at the

842
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: Oak Park Cinemas in Kansas. I was all of three

843
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: and a half four years old, and I mean that

844
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: experience so transported me to another place. Watching Sweeten's run

845
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: through the screen into their screening room. At the end

846
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: of the film, I believed there were Muppets in the

847
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: space with us. That's how powerful that experience was. That

848
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: was the first seed planted. There were many many more

849
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: along the way that always spoke to my heart that

850
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: I thought going to Hollywood, because that's the theme of

851
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: the move Road, go make a movie. Moving right along

852
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: the Magic Store, I wanted to go to the Magic Store.

853
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: But when you're getting Kansas, you just nothing seemed like

854
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: that realistic to me. And also my mom and I

855
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of money when thinking about where

856
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: was I going to go to college? And so I

857
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: was decent at football and it was a ticket for

858
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: me to potentially get some support and help financially to go.

859
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,479
Speaker 1: And sure enough, by my senior year of high school,

860
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: there were some nice, good schools that were interested in

861
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: having me come there, and I thought I could get

862
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: an English degree while I'm playing football, And then maybe

863
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: I wanted my dream was to have been like the

864
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,080
Speaker 1: cool junior high or high school english teacher, drama teacher

865
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: who then also coaches football. I thought, like, that's a

866
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: path I could see forward from myself. But I had

867
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: two really incredible teachers and a very very supportive mother

868
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: who said because I was dipping out of football practice early,

869
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: and thank God for coach Merrill, who would say to me,

870
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: even though we were getting ready for the big championships,

871
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 1: he would let me. No coach would ever do this.

872
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: And this guy was not what I would consider a

873
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: progressive educator in the state of Kansas. He was pretty

874
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: old school, but he would let me leave, even though

875
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: I was starting offensive center for his team, leave practice

876
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: little early to go rehearse the fall play. How sweet

877
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: it was amazing, And the teacher said to me. The

878
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: drama teacher and my speech teacher both said, you got

879
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: to go do this. You do acting, it's something you

880
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 1: gotta do. And they helped me get an audition for

881
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: a conservatory college program called the DePaul Theater School, as

882
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: well as several others, and I not only got in,

883
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: I got the scholarship that I would have needed to go.

884
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: And I walked off the football field at the end

885
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: of our last game, which we lost to Lawrence High,

886
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: and I think they dole it from us.

887
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: You're never gonna let it go, never letting it go.

888
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: I kicked the door every day but then I never

889
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: looked back. But but I I.

890
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: Would have never guessed that you were like college football material.

891
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean not like Division one, Division two schools,

892
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: smaller colleges, but it was I was gonna I knew

893
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna go professional. I knew I didn't have

894
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: that capability, but there were recruiters and I was definitely

895
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: going to get the help I needed to get. Here's

896
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: the other thing, my brother. I watched my brother play

897
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: collegiate basketball, and he loved it. It was his life.

898
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't my I knew the demands of being a

899
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: successful collegiate athlete was that that is your life, the job,

900
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: it's a thing, and I was. I was kind of

901
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: by the end of you know, I was. I wanted to.

902
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: I was always like, I need to go watch what's

903
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: the movie? I need to see what's the comic I

904
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: need to get to. But hey, the path well here

905
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: I am sitting those in the heart of Hollywood.

906
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 3: Just absolutely ransacking a goodwill. There's more gifts. Let's get

907
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: back in here.

908
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: This is from my own collection, and I just wanted

909
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: to share it with you because it's something we've already

910
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: tipped on. But I actually have two of these, so

911
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 1: I would never give you if I only had one.

912
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I would. I actually would. After this conversation, Bridge,

913
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: I think we're very close. Now, I want to give

914
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 1: you one of my from my collection of vintage classic comics.

915
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 3: This is amazing. This is a really vintage comic, crypt

916
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 3: of the Shadows. This is from when comics cost twenty cents.

917
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: Yes it is.

918
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 3: What year do you think this is since.

919
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: In the seventies, I don't know exactly.

920
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 3: Crypt of the Shadows.

921
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: Yes, and Marvel and DC, both as we all know,

922
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: are the big publishers of comics these days. They put

923
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: out all manner of anthological horror comics back in the day,

924
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: which featured amazing art, very scary and cool spooky stories.

925
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: They always had these great shocking covers and if you

926
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: go back further in time, the publishers like EC and

Speaker 1: these horror comics and they've just held a special place

929
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: in my heart since I was a kid, and I

930
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 1: were beautiful, and I collect them and read them whenever

931
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm just sitting around.

932
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,040

935
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: My favorite comic of all time was published by d

936
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: C Comics. It was a limited part of an anthological

937
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: series that was called The Weird War Tales, and there

938
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: was this team of monster mercenaries called the Creature Commandos.

939
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: The Creature Commandos were made up of a guy named

940
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: Lucky Taylor who was like a Frankenstein's Monster type GI grunt.

941
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: There was a vampire named Vincent Velcrow who had a

942
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 1: bad attitude, and you had a werewolf, you had a Gorgon,

943
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: and they were kind of like the way we think

944
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: of I don't know, if you know, like the suicide Squad.

945
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: So like there's those disposable, bad quote unquote bad monsters

946
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 1: that the government or whatever powerful entity you can imagine

947
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: can say, well, you have to do this for us

948
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: or blah blah blah. Right, So that was the setup

949
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: for the Creature Commandos. It was and it was something

950
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,160

1038
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: in Sherman Oaks, and when we bought it, there's this big,

1039
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, spacious attict. Turned out the previous owner who

1040
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: had grown up in the house. One family owned this

1041
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,240
Speaker 1: house before we bought it. They built it in nineteen fifty.

1042
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 1: He had converted the house into a pot farm oh

1043
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: after his parents passed away, and so the attic was

1044
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: one of his growing spaces.

1045
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 3: Oh amazed.

1046
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,360

1047
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: it's a big space. A lot of bees that used

1048
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: to be there. Now I've ethically moved the bees a

1049
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: farm to protect her how to protect their bees. But

1050
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: I have this huge, huge space. Ninety percent of it

1051
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: is currently filled with my very well organized, boxed collection

1052
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: of Halloween decorations, about ten percent Christmas decorations, and then

1053
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: whatever the kid's art or some crap something much less important,

1054
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: too much less important. Yes, I love to go all

1055
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 1: out with the decorations.

1056
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,439
Speaker 3: And are you buying new decorations every year?

1057
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: I always treat myself to something special every year. I

1058
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: used to you know, I've been doing this for a

1059
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: long time, so I used to it crew a lot

1060
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: of stuff that was just the cheaper. Now it's I

1061
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: try to focus it more. I want something very special.

1062
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: We definitely do themes. This last year's theme was Cursed Dolls.

1063
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 1: So I have an amazing friend, Autumn, who's a costume designer,

1064
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: and she collects all manner of creepy dolls and doll parts.

1065
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 1: When I was in Berlin, I happened to come across

1066
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: some spooky, old, vintage antique scary dolls, one of which

1067
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: we is haunted. I yeah, we did. We did the

1068
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: whole house. I had a gathering at one point in

1069
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 1: which I I had someone dress up as one of

1070
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: the dolls. But people didn't know it was someone in

1071
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 1: a costume, so they just thought it was another like

1072
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: a giant creepy doll, and then when they least expected it,

1073
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: it would jump up and come running at them. It

1074
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: was really fun.

1075
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 3: That's wonderful. And do you have any ideas? I mean,

1076
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 3: we're months away from Halloween.

1077
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: Oh it's going to be the nineteen fifties. I love

00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,840
Speaker 1: a double feature, like a science fiction. So did you

1079
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,480

00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: me staring into the middle distance with this far away

1082
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: look in my eye, and she goes, damn it, you've

1083
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: already started. How did you? And I say, Babe, I

1084
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: started like I started even before Halloween of it all.

1085
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: But yes, I know next year, and I think I

1086
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: know the year after it.

1087
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 3: Wow, that is amazing. Right before we started, before you arrived,

1088
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 3: we were talking about trying to plan Halloween costumes in

1089
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 3: advance and how difficult that is. Okay, pushing it aside

1090
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 3: until the very last minute and then the panic.

1091
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: May June is a good time to start brainstorming. But

1092
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: it's never too late. Here's the thing, it's never ever

1093
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 1: too late. You can always be creative. And I think

1094
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: that it's something you shouldn't stress about. You should have

1095
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: fun with it. This year we wanted to do. We

1096
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: like to do theme costumes, sometimes group costumes. So I

1097
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 1: did you ever see the nineteen nineties version of Van

1098
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: Rice's Interview with the Vampire?

1099
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: No?

1100
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 3: And I should Okay, I feel like I would really

1101
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 3: enjoy it.

1102
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: It's a great film. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Kirsten Dunst

1103
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: and Antonio Banderas in the film. At one point, because

1104
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: of bad things happening in the States where the story starts,

1105
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunt flee to Europe and they

1106
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: wind up in France because they're looking for help, and

1107
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: there's another coven of vampires there who run this brand

1108
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: theater company, and it's run by Antonio Benderis. He plays

1109
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: the leader of this covenant. Stephen Ray, who's an amazing actor,

1110
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,719
Speaker 1: is kind of his Lithario henchman right hand looks a

1111
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: lot like the design of Long Cheney in London after midnight,

1112
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: if anyone's familiar with that, with the row of razor

1113
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: teeth in the top hat horrifying. And in this really

1114
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: horrifying scene, it's just so dark. The two vampires are

1115
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: sitting in an audience of humans watching this stage play,

1116
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: and the audience is uncomfortable, but no one believes it's

1117
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: actually real that the vampires are killing this woman on stage,

1118
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:40,360
Speaker 1: which they are. This woman comes running out onto the

1119
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: stage in this beautiful white dress. She's blonde, she's beautiful,

1120
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 1: she looks like Bo Derek, and they the vampires rip

1121
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: the dress open, she's topless. They feast on her. So

1122
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 1: for our Halloween theme this year, I was the Stephen

1123
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: Ray character. I loved that. I did the top hat,

1124
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,719
Speaker 1: the tuxedo, the whole vampire look. Kat who wrapped your

1125
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: presence today. She's a makeup truly like a makeup department

1126
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 1: head who works on big shows. She's an am amazing artist.

1127
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: She was Antonio Benderis. She did the full thing. It

1128
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: was incredible. Eve, my wife played the victim on stage.

1129
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 3: God sop.

1130
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 1: It was not for handing out the candy bowl at

1131
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: the trigger treaters. She put some pasties on that, you know,

1132
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 1: made it incredible. Yeah, and we and she looked at credible.

1133
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 1: And then our amazing friend Nikki Griffin showed up to

1134
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: our gathering and she was dressed in the Kirsten Dunst look.

1135
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

1136
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: So we did a whole you know, photo shoot together.

00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 3: Wow?

00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1140
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 3: I love the idea of vampires running a theater and

1141
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: kind of the community theater drama of it all.

1142
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: I feel absolutely like I was supposed to be curly. No,

1143
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be curly.

1144

01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 3: curious what you're gonna do with all of this.

1250
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:16,919
Speaker 1: Well, Viola Davis is one of my heroes, and personally, yeah,

1251
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 1: she is somebody I I've had the opportunity to work

1252
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: with a few times, because I first met her on

1253
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:29,479
Speaker 1: the set of Prisoners, Villa new film, which I I'd

1254
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 1: never I mean, I'd been on one big film before that,

1255
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: the Dark Knight, that was a brief, you know, experience,

1256
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: and then when I was on Prisoners, all of a

1257
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: sudden I was. I was there, I was in Georgia,

1258
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: and it was all these movie stars, all of whom

1259
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: were very cool and wonderful. But I I say it

1260
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: was Viola Davis who was the first one that really

1261
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 1: like connected with me. And she and I were sitting

1262
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,640
Speaker 1: in little chairs and just talking all night, and she

1263
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: was telling me some amazing stories, and I wish I could,

1264
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: off the top of my head remember where it was,

1265
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: what city she grew up And I believe she grew

1266
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: up in Rhode Island. I could be wrong about that,

1267
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: but I believe she grew up in Rhode Island. I'm

1268
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:13,320
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and say the key to the

1269
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,040
Speaker 1: city because I feel like the key of the city

1270
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: is something you give someone who's a hero, right and

1271
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: somebody she inspired people in many ways. I want to

1272
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: give Viola the key to the city of the town

1273
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: that she grew up in. If she hasn't already got it,

1274
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: she maybe she's been so you know what I'm going

1275
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: to say, Let's give her the key to Los Angeles.

1276
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: She was the key to this city because she really is.

1277
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Every day, every every project she does, every time I

1278
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: see her speak, every way she uses her platform, I

1279
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 1: feel like she's just so inspiring.

1280
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 3: She truly does it all.

1281
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 1: I want young people to There's some people that are

1282
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 1: celebrities that are just wonderful at acting and they don't

1283
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: need to, you know, go beyond that. But she does.

1284
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: She really like props people up. I feel like she's

1285
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: brought a lot of amazing artists into our line of

1286
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: sight because she uses her platform to like promote great

1287
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, creators. So yeah, so Viola gets the key

1288
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 1: to the city, and what.

1289
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 3: Do you have any idea what the key to the

1290
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 3: city does? Does anybody know?

1291
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have the key, it's it's a big

1292
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 1: gold key. It's like something you could get at party city.

1293
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: It's not real gold. They paint it though, to look

1294
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: like that. And if you want at any time, if

1295
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: you're one who possesses the key to the city, you

1296
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: go to town hall or a city hall, depending on

1297
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: what they like to call it. And you're a part

1298
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: of the country. You go to city hall. There's a

1299
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: room and this room is only for those who've been

1300
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: given the key. You go in the room, there's a

1301
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: secret knock. You take a key out, you put it

1302
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: in a lock, you open the lock inside of there

1303
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: there is. Basically, it's like one of those gifting suites

1304
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: at the Oscars. They've got hot hands, they've got Eggi's,

1305
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: they've got prevailed new Fit daily briefs. They've got basically

1306
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: anything you can dream of, and you just get it.

1307
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: You take it.

1308
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 3: I mean, what a power.

1309
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: And there's no there's no like, oh I've taken too

1310
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: much that I feel guilty. No, you take for it.

1311
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: You want four of those, they're yours.

1312
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 3: Take a lifetime supply of the Yeah, there's.

1313
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: An Oreo cookie dunkin kit that only the most elite

1314
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: are allowed. So there's what you get. I think the

1315
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: military secrets, which really are hard to come by anymore.

1316
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: Apparently I made a donation, got to go to a

1317
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: dinner at this really luxurious club in Florida. It was crazy,

1318
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: two for a dollar. I would say, did you say

1319
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: it was Edie falcon Falco. Yeah, Well, because she knew

1320
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: how to keep all the secrets on the soprano the sopranos.

1321
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, of course, she spent years learning as an actor.

1322
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Because I believe she's one of those actors that doesn't

1323
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: just surface to it. I mean, she's another inspiration for me.

1324
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: Is genuinely saying this as an artist. As an actor,

1325
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: I've never seen that woman deliver a false note. Like

1326
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: she shows up and you know how much she puts

1327
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: into the work, and it's it's incredible. She's so great.

1328
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: So I think she probably spent a lot of time

1329
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 1: thinking about what it's like to be a mob boss's

1330
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 1: spouse and the secret keeping and all of that. So

1331
01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: I feel like she's the person.

1332
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 3: That's used to it.

1333
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and for Bono, gotta love Bono. Interesting sidebar, are

Speaker 1: we all on the same page here? It's like you two.

1335
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 1: Never has there been a band that goes so in

1336
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 1: and out and in and out like they do. I mean,

1337
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: there's been times in my life where I had every

1338
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: one of their CDs on the dashboard of my Chevy

1339
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: Celebrity driving around Kansas City. There's times when I would

1340
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: have hidden those CDs in a box in the farthest

1341
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: place under my bed, but yet they still come back.

1342
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 1: And he's a guy who's used his platform in all

1343
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 1: seriousness in a wonderful way. I would like to give

Speaker 1: him this special mystical, magical map because I know he's

1345
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,920
Speaker 1: finally going to find his way to the place where

Speaker 3: in comparison. It's just not my love language. And also

1385
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 3: we have quite a bit less money than she does.

1386
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 3: I often feel guilty for being on the receiving end

1387
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 3: of her generosity and not feeling like I reciprocate adequately help.

1388
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 3: She likes food, cooking, and animals, has a dog, cats,

1389
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: foster kittens, and a backyard of poultry. Love Hannah. Okay,

1390
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 3: so backyard of poultry, what are we talking? Do we

1391
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 3: call a live bird? Poultry.

1392
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm.

1393
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 3: Imagining chicken breasts everywhere.

1394
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: Everywhere, all the hey egg shortage Hannah's friend. This is

1395
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: why the podcast she was stealing her friend's eggs and

1396
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 1: not getting permission. They say there's a Hannah in.

1397
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 3: This. Woman is an egg thief. I mean, months of

1398
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 3: not speaking after a little misunderstanding.

1399
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: What do you think? I want to defer to you.

1400
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 1: You're the expert here. I want to hear your thoughts first.

1401
01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:44,839
Speaker 3: I mean, the situation is so unclear to me because

1402
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 3: we hear little misunderstanding, but then several months of not speaking,

1403
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 3: that feels like a big misunderstanding to misunderstanding.

1404
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 1: And she ran over her foot or something.

1405
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we have to assume her friend was in

1406
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 3: the hospital, hospitalized for months, very possibly coma. Toast maybe

1407
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 3: that's why she just woke up. She can bear and

1408
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 3: I remember.

1409
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 1: Away from my egg heist, I accidentally ran over her

1410
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: foot sending her into a coma means she woke up

1411
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: and she does cute d amnesia.

1412
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 3: So I feel like Hannah's got a take advantage of

1413
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 3: this situation. For all we know, the friend doesn't remember

1414
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 3: what happened. She's ready a good friend would never wouldn't

1415
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 3: they a good friend behind them? Put it behind them

1416
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 3: and be ready to mend the fence. So Hannah shows

1417
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 3: up to the hospital, huge gift basket. We know the

1418
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 3: friend likes cooking and animals, so maybe there's a mix

1419
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 3: of like her favorite snacks or favorite treats, and then

1420
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 3: some sort of live animal, live animal. What sort of

1421
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 3: animal fits in a bask.

1422
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Like like, like, I mean, are we talking about like

1423
01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: a chinchilla? You can get a chinchilla these days at Petco?

1424
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,879
Speaker 1: And I know you're the height on the funds, Hannah,

1425
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: but I swear I saw sale the other day. They

1426
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: had some chinchillas that seemed like they were on their

1427
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: way out. It was like buy one, get one free

1428
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: maybe or fifty percent off at Chinchilla. Chinchillas are cuddly.

1429
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: That's a good gift.

1430
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 3: When a pet goes on sale, that's pretty heartbreaking. That

1431
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 3: feels bad. But you've got to take advantage of savings.

1432
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 3: When you see that, you do.

1433
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 1: It's a tough time. We're heading into this recession. You

1434
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: need to save as you can get. I don't know,

1435
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean giving someone a gift that's a pet, that's

1436
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: a big if you know her, well, Hannah, honestly, I

1437
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: mean the fact that your friend loves food. The friend

1438
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 1: friend loves does she love cooking?

1439
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 3: With cooking and food, well, they go hand in hand.

1440
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,400
Speaker 1: I suppose I'm not gonna I don't think I'm gonna

1441
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: surprise anybody here when I say the eggy is truly

1442
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: one of the best things to give somebody who cares

1443
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: about cooking. If you want a hard boiled egg without

1444
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: the shell, which who doesn't your friend the fact that

1445
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 1: she's into poultry, she's got a backyard full of foul

1446
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 1: or you know, ron vuel mood. But now her coming

1447
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: out of it, you're going to brighten her spirits, fluff

1448
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:05,919
Speaker 1: her feathers.

1449
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 3: And you know, every serious chef knows you've got to

1450
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:11,880
Speaker 3: have an eggy in the cupboard.

1451
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 1: Eggs eggies for days. But I'm happy that you guys

1452
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:18,759
Speaker 1: are you know, are talking again. I've had that happen.

1453
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: I've had friendships that that that were kind of on

1454
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: the ropes for a bit.

1455
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 3: Well, you're a you have a lot, you get into

1456
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 3: a lot of fights. You're you're a pretty contentious person. No.

1457
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: Twelve. Remember always win fights with friends. And if you

1458
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: don't make sure to get to the trades first to

1459
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 1: let them know you did.

1460
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:40,280
Speaker 3: I mean the notes on this episode you have, you've impartial.

1461
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:41,560
Speaker 1: Started my own podcast.

1462
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 3: I know you should be some sort of life code.

1463
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I sureant to do a podcast. It's called Please Bring Gifts.

1464
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 3: And the person shows up every time empty hand, and

1465
01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 3: so you desperately give advice to fill the air speak

1466
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 3: ill of them.

1467
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: On the public airwaves. No, I wish you luck, Hannah.

1468
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: I hope your friend uh I I hope you get

1469
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 1: you know, cookwar is always nice.

1470
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 3: Cook war is good. I love a good pan, a

1471
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:09,680
Speaker 3: nice pot. What a you know? A meat thermometer?

1472
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: You're a meat thermometer is one of the very important

1473
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: and they're always kind of you know, they're always coming

1474
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: up with new bells and whistles on a meat thermometer.

1475
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: I think that you know the time with you is important,

1476
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,639
Speaker 1: and if you are up for it and you want

1477
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: to actually put in the efforts, since you're low on funds,

1478
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: and show her how much you care about this friendship,

1479
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 1: maybe do the research and practice a couple of times

1480
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and put together a meal from a recipe that you

1481
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: could prepare and have her over and make your dining

1482
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,479
Speaker 1: room look like a little restaurant. Put the candles out,

1483
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,400
Speaker 1: you do the whole thing. And and that says to her,

1484
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, I love you and I miss you, and

1485
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm glad we're friends again.

1486
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 3: Lovely, and also you're setting her up for another fight,

1487
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,760
Speaker 3: as the friend kind of snobbily says, well, you tried

1488
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 3: your best. You tried your best, and then we're back

1489
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 3: into the cycle. The Han and her friend are probably

1490
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:01,520
Speaker 3: been in for decades.

1491
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: And the friend says, did the recipe call for that much?

1492
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 3: Cuman, We answered that question so perfectly.

1493
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, these eggs, these hard boiled eggs, have shells, and.

1494
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 3: We're just eating them straight out of you'd.

1495
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: Only zipped over to the good will, Hannah, you could

1496
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: have saved this friendship forever.

1497
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're getting Hannah back into the toxic cycle

1498
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 3: with her friend. That's obviously what it's built on. And

1499
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 3: she can't complain. She's got to be happy, she wrote

1500
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 3: into the podcast, no complaints. David. I am so happy

1501

Speaker 1: I could have come here and.

01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 3: We set up the opportunity and you you went for it.

1504
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 1: He could have He should have and guess what he did.

1505
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm so happy. I've had such a great time with you.

1506
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:51,400
