Speaker 1: John Witherswood is hanging out with us. So let me

28
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: ask this. I sent a thing out a tweet yesterday

29
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: asking people, uh, some questions that they would like to

30
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: know from you, And of course we had this conversation

31
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: before the air. The one question that everybody asked, will

32
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: there be another Friday?

33
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Well, I talked to ice Cube. I talked to him

34
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: about a week ago, okay, and he said he's got

35
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: the outline for the script, and Warmer Brothers and New

36
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: Line Cinema want to do it now. So I think

37
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: we're gonna we find it coming around to actually doing

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: another Friday.

39
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: So that is so right now. You heard it from

40
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: John Witherspoon's mouse that there is a.

41
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Nice Oh no, no, it's in the works right now.

42
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's a one hundred percent that it's.

43
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: Couldn't be reading writing the script and they're not going

44
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: to do it.

45
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about that with scripts. I've seen

46
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: some interviews before where you just kind of ad lib,

47
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: and that's the best way when somebody hands you the

48
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: script and you look at your lines. Do you just

49
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: say no, no, no, not doing that. But here's what

50
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do here.

51
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Well, ice Cube told me that he's going to hand

52
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: me when he's finished outline another script and the script

53
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: that he's written, and he's hand to me, and then

54
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: I can change what have I want to change in

55
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: my stuff?

56
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: So is that kind of what everybody does?

57
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: They'll just hand it out out everybody. No, no, but

58
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: everybody do it for me, okay, because I can live

59
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: like that, I can change the script and put in

60
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: my my feel That's where you come up with doing

61
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: anybody go in the bathroom for the next thirty five

62
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: forty five minutes.

63
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: So a lot of people have asked. One person was asking,

64
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: have you ever spent all day with your foot up

65
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: a dog's ass?

66
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: I don't think a dog will let me do that,

67
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: but no, actually I'm afraid of dogs. I grab a

68
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: dog and I choke him.

69
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: So it's like so in the movie when you were

70
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: the Dog Catcher, you're just kind of like, oh, I

71
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: don't want to do this or.

72
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: No, no, no. Actually, when I'm in the movie, you

73
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: never see me with a dog. I mean, I'm always

74
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: falling into dogs. Crap, I've done that. You see that

75
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: on the back of my pants. I have a boo

76
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: boo on the back of my pan. Why I don't

77
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: fall it on the ground. But actually people had to

78
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: realize that's only chocolate icing. Chocolate ice. You could keep

79
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: telling me, I think it's real. That's people will think

80
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: it is. He think it's real.
