00:00:08 Speaker 1: And I invited you here. I thought I made myself perfectly clear. When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So how do you dare. 00:00:36 Speaker 2: To surbey me? Welcome to I said, no gifts. I'm Richard Wineger. Oh it's it's actually completely dark outside. We're in the backyard. The big news is I've recently regained control of my jaw and just face in general. I know I talk about the dentist a lot on this podcast, but I've recently had a lot of novacane kind of pumped into my face and it became worrisome. After about five hours, I wasn't sure that I would be able to feel the left side of my face again. But here we are. I've got complete control newly, so on life. Let's do the podcast. I'm so excited about today's guest. So funny. It's Ben Schwartz. Hi, congrats on your jaw, Thank you so much. Welcome to the show. Thank you. And you would never be able to tell for real, that's all I want. Yeah, that's all I want. If people could tell I would I would have to shut myself up for you would be able to tell you look great, you sound great? It was when was the last time you had novakane that's in my mouth? Is that the only place in novakan exists? You think that's a good question. Why doesn't exists elsewhere? You only hear about it. 00:02:01 Speaker 3: With some sort of anesthetic? Would be it would be some sort of different thing, right right, I guess it would have to. 00:02:08 Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't remember when it would be. It's probably because you didn't have a cavity. You haven't had a cavity as an adult. Oh I got I had to get a crown. That's where it was. Oh, I remember it exactly what happened right and by the way, and this is how it happened. I had a cavity. 00:02:22 Speaker 3: I was with gillos Eri, one of the funniest people, truly, one of, if not the funniest person in the world. 00:02:28 Speaker 2: And I had a cavity that was filled. And he gave me a fucking not a jolly rancher. He gave me one of the can now and later, oh no, and he gave me nout and later, and I hadn't have one sell as a kid, and I chewed on it and when I went up, the cavity came out, but it didn't hurt. 00:02:43 Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's fine, And then I started chewing. Every time I chewed it would hurt. I said, I think something's wrong, and they go, you might need a root canal, but you may not. So I went to the root canow. Person, I can't believe this is what we're talking about. 00:02:54 Speaker 2: Well, is this the poplasteners? Like, I cannot believe dentistry is back on the fire. Well, you love it. We can all talk about dentists anyway. 00:03:02 Speaker 3: I think there's either crack one tooth throwing out a crown got the crown and they had to do novacane and the worst part was the novacane is incredibly painful when they jab that in. 00:03:10 Speaker 2: There going it feels like it takes forever to be forever to fill the juice of your One time they did it to me and it didn't fill up, and uh, I just and they did it anyway and it was very painful, but it was fine. But we did the novacate the second time do the crown, and the crown is in there and every time I chew, it still hurts, but I just don't want to go through it again. So this is what it is. No, I'm going through some I have a chewing thing that my former dentist, who I've now left in the dust, caused some permanent problem that I'm kind of his or her name. I would love to say that, you can't. I would love nothing but part of town Burbank. I'm just they all know what you're talking about. They all we understand. But this novacane. Usually I can kind of feel what's going on if they're doing some work in my mouth with novacane. This time felt absolutely nothing, which I loved initially, and then five hours later, I'm panicking. I couldn't. I tried to put in my air pods. Oh, could not feel my ear. Yes, I have that also. It affects all parts of your body for a while. Yeah, terrifying. And I was, you know, I have a little drowel too, drool everywhere, And I'm on zoom for work and everyone's looking, well, let's be honest, everyone's looking at their own face. You can get away with murder, but we build a story in our head. 00:04:27 Speaker 3: Everybody's looking how a disgusting drool always right, of course, but yeah. 00:04:34 Speaker 2: I just kind of silently suffered for well. No, I actually complained to all of my coworkers as well, so everyone was aware of this situation. But ultimately it went away, and it was such a relief. 00:04:45 Speaker 3: I thought you were doing a bit at the beginning because you looked away from me. You looked up to the sky, and I was like, oh, I guess he does a character type thing. You looked up to this kind and go no, Like, well, I got a regained no joke. I was certain this was a sketch. I regained function in my so I was like, I guess this podcast you do mostly a character It's very narrative driven. Oh my god, because you looked up as if you were doing the soliloquy towards the heavens my jaw. 00:05:09 Speaker 2: I can feel it. I know you guys don't want to. I was like, oh, this is a funny bit, but this is you, this is me. And but what if I had looked at you in the eye and told that story, I would have thought it was real the fact, but you would have also been probably frightened. Why is he looking me in the eye and just talking. That's true, that's true. I get it. 00:05:25 Speaker 3: It was just like it almost looked like like it looked like a character. It looked like an actor about to go on stage. And the second record was hit. You looked up, you hit your mark and you and you became your character of Bridge of the podcast host. 00:05:38 Speaker 2: Well, I mean that's essentially what I happened to you. The middle name Eric Eric is there always an e er and all your names. That's your last name ar weineger okay, So it's not all yeah e R e R ar okay for emergency room, emergency room, augmented reality. Nice. I have. 00:05:57 Speaker 3: My initials are BJ or b s or bjays. So as a kid, there was always people can make fun of any version of. 00:06:05 Speaker 2: My what's your middle name, Joel James, Oh my god, you're so think more Jewish or no, that's not fair to me. Think more Jewish and a musical with Benjamin Joseph Schwartz. Oh that's a nice that's a nice, solid name. I really am happy with the name of my parents chose. Yeah, just solid names all around. Yeah. Yeah. Did you ever toy with the idea of doing a middle night going by your middle name? Never. 00:06:31 Speaker 3: And also I knew some people coming up that have my last name of Schwartz and changed it because they didn't want it to be Schwartz and didn't. And I was talking to someone once and she was a lovely woman, and then she was talking to me and she's like, yeah, I had to change my last name. 00:06:45 Speaker 2: She didn't know my last name. And I was like, oh, what was it? 00:06:47 Speaker 3: Sports ago, that is my last name. And there was like a record scratch moment of how like She's like, oh. 00:06:54 Speaker 2: Huh. 00:06:56 Speaker 3: And I was like, I have no problem. It doesn't seem like a problem. Oh yeah, I just need to get away from it. I said, well, get away from I'm putting words in her. Do you know what she changed her last name too? Is it okay to talk about it? 00:07:07 Speaker 2: I don't know what she had a last name too. 00:07:09 Speaker 3: I believe I believe she was both Jewish and I think, uh Latino, So I think she probably pushed more towards the other side. Maybe she'd her maiden, her mom's maid name, or somebody that right, maybe I wouldn't mind switching my last name. Now, I'm giving you the opportunity right now. 00:07:25 Speaker 2: Late in life, what do you do it now. I mean I think I may have actually thought about this before, like the tornado. Sorry, bridge your tornado? You want your last name to be Tornado? 00:07:36 Speaker 1: Not? 00:07:37 Speaker 2: I love it? What's your tornado? Yes? 00:07:41 Speaker 3: Bet, Oh it's great. It's great for so many different reasons. It's great, of course. Yeah, last names are tricky. 00:07:49 Speaker 2: I I don't know. I you look up towards the heavens again, another soliloquy. Trying to think of some other thing that could possibly be a lesson. I can't think of a single actual last name. 00:08:00 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh my favorite. When you write scripts, you just have to worry about first names. 00:08:05 Speaker 2: Oh we not never have to worry. Oh really, I love coming up with I never in all I've written many scripts, and unless there's a moment where someone has to say someone's full name, you will never know someone's full name. It's so much fun to think of last names. 00:08:19 Speaker 3: I'm literally am writing a TV show right now that I've done two episodes four and the lead character still doesn't have a last name. 00:08:25 Speaker 2: Eventually that's going to come up. The show will become a show, and then like nine episodes in, you'll have it for the drive. We have to see the driver's license, what's their last name? And then it's just blur like it's you never see the last name. That's a good mystery. 00:08:38 Speaker 3: And then there's like a reveal that it's like, you know some incredibly famous last name. 00:08:43 Speaker 2: Cruise. It's Cruise, our usy and it's Penelope. It's Penelope. Yeah, didn't Penelope and Tom date at some point? 00:08:51 Speaker 3: Helopy's last name of Schwartz. It was the person that I'm talking about, of course, changed the last name to Cruz. Penelope and Tom Cruise. 00:08:57 Speaker 2: I think they may have dated at one point. Wowse on a, Lise's shaking their hand at Lias. Is there a lot of juicy gossip on this show? This okay, this is just nons dripping with juicy gees just the tea everywhere. Wow, are you a big gossip person? No? I don't. I don't like it. You don't like it at all. I don't love it. I don't love I don't love God. Oh you know that's not true. I love hearing it, but I'm not good at spreading it right. I'm always afraid that the person I'm talking about will be right behind me. It happened once and I was mortified, and I was like the feeling of talking anything about someone and then thinking, like, there's so much anxiety me, like hurting anybody's feeling I never wane hurt anbody's feelings, so it's like that will haunt me. There's no coming back from somebody hearing you talking about them. It's I mean, how do you reverse that? 00:09:46 Speaker 3: And then the rest of your life, anytime you say anything about anyone, even if it's positive, you're afraid that they're of course, of course, but I do. 00:09:53 Speaker 2: I'm on the same page. As far as I love to hear gossip. Oh my god, do you want to hear a great one? Can you imagine? I do that whole thing? 00:09:59 Speaker 3: And then I throw I just got some horrible secret share. Oh my god, Jesus, I have so much thing. Do you want to throw some juicygs down right now? 00:10:07 Speaker 2: I wish I could. I remember there was a period during the pandemic when we really didn't have any communication with each other, and not you and I. You're talking about the world, the world and you and me. Let's be honest, zero communicase. 00:10:19 Speaker 1: Zero. 00:10:20 Speaker 2: Know what happens after today? I know, will it continue? Will it just be nobody knows for sure. Right, we'll see. But there was like that period when you really didn't see anybody at all, so you weren't getting any gossip, right, And occasionally I would have somebody to come over to the house, and it really felt like we were living in the prairie. Like the news would come and be like, oh, share whatever you have. So I really appreciate it. I love that, Sure, I get it. Do you follow du mois? What's it's a kind of gossip thing on Instagram? That's like it's a very string I did. 00:10:52 Speaker 3: I follow so many so Twitter? Twitter is a thing, or it used to be a thing. Do you remember Twitter? 00:10:57 Speaker 2: I think today Elon took over? Is that true? 00:11:00 Speaker 3: I think this gets in the way my live tweeting of Game of Thrones is going to be very upsetting. 00:11:05 Speaker 2: I'm so close to finishing. I'd be so bummed out. 00:11:08 Speaker 3: But on Twitter, I like follow a bunch of people because I've been on it since it's long for a long time, follow a lot of people, and I spent so much time there that when Instagram came out, I just made sure I don't follow. I follow like seventy people nobody, and then I just stopped following people, right because I can't spend so much my life on Twitter, and then again on Instagram and TikTok is like I can't even dream. 00:11:33 Speaker 2: Are you on TikTok? I am on TikTok. Are you an active user of tips? I'm not okay. 00:11:38 Speaker 3: I think I'm an active user of Twitter still, and I've learned that nobody cares about Twitter anymore. It's horrible. Although Elon, I'm now you're talking about Elon coming in today. But and then Instagram and also I don't even know what Twitter will be like now. But and then Instagram. I was, I like love the idea of Instagram, and then I just can't. I'm just I get lost. I get like, I just not addicted. But it's just like when I'm writing, I always need something to not write, and it's just right there always. 00:12:04 Speaker 2: Of course, of course it's an endless feed. What's your favorite one? I I don't know that I would use the word favorite for any of these services. That feels, what's the service that you find yourself? I'm on Instagram. I was on Twitter for a long time, and like that's how I started my career in comedy. 00:12:17 Speaker 3: All this came, so, yeah, what can you You've probably talked so many times, can you tell me specifically what it was that you're like, this is the thing that at the beginning kind of people. 00:12:26 Speaker 2: Found out who I was. I mean, I got my first job through it because j My Kimmel found me on on Twitter. Job. 00:12:31 Speaker 3: Yes, this is amazing. Meg and Amram I think got Parks because she was on. 00:12:36 Speaker 2: Probably I think so, yeah, I'm sure that's that was part, surely, But like Twitter was for a while a way for people in comedy to get jobs. I mean, it's words. You prove that you're you can make words. But now it just feels it's very different. Everything's very different. Yeah, it all feels like it's we're all we're all losing, right, Yeah, I've I stopped tweeting a few years ago, but so I go on about once a week and say here's the podcast. I mean, people love you know, self promotion was it? Yeah, oh god, just jokes. I started by doing a rejected joke every day, right, and it was fun. At some point it seemed fun. 00:13:15 Speaker 3: But now it's like everybody's plugged into the matrix. It's very it's like everybody has a lot of power. Some people who shouldn't have a lot of power have a lot of power and are influencing. 00:13:24 Speaker 2: Others to not be great. Right, we're living in a great We're living in the best possible time. Yeah, the absolute best thing happens when you pass away, you know. Really, answer, that's a good question. My boyfriend's dad described your boyfriend. Yes, does he live here? Yeah, but he's in New York right now. Well part of New York. He's living in East Village. What the exact address if people want to visit it? 00:13:49 Speaker 3: If people want to visit Jim, what's the exact dress? How long is he going to be there? 00:13:53 Speaker 2: He's coming back soon to do a movie actually, which is an exciting actor. He's an actor you don't know as a friend, I mean into him. He was on Broadway for a long time. What did he play on Broadway? Oh? My god, every he's gonna go wild right now. I can't wait. I do. He's done so many Broadway shows. He did Full Monty done Billy Elliott. What are you playing Phantom? Uh see, this is my problem. I'm very bad with musical theater. You don't care. He played the kind of clowns, say the Phantom. He played the guy with the mask on his face, dropping. Yeah, that's one hundred percent the Phantom of the Opera. But he was just in Guys and Dolls of the Kennedy. So are you playing Guys and Harry the Horse? Oh? Great? Who is played by in the movie Tom Petty? Wow? Oh really? I think so. I didn't know Tom Petty had a screen No, no, no, no, no. 00:14:43 Speaker 3: Tom Petty's an actor, not not your Tom Petty. There's another Tom Petty. 00:14:47 Speaker 2: I think it's p e d I. I think someone's got to play. If I just nailed that, I'll lose my mind. Petty like a Manny Petty. That's right. Interesting. Jim, what's Gym's last name? It'sla What a great can you imagine a her last name? Oh my god, I love that last Yeah, it's a very good last name. But uh yeah. The reason we're talking about Jim right now is because the way his dad described death to him was do you remember what it was like before you were born? Oh, which is not it's cheating, it's not ideal, but it's it's kind of comforting to be like, oh yeah, I don't remember existing then. So I guess, are you a religious person? I'm not. Jim a religious person. No, Jim's dad a religious person, Yes, very Catholic. Uh what I think went to in person church the entire pandemic. And I guess got too carel you didn't and he recently, uh got over cancer. Congratulations, but what are we? 00:15:50 Speaker 4: Oh? 00:15:50 Speaker 3: Yeah, congrats, Paul. If you're listening, Paul, congrats. 00:15:53 Speaker 2: Paula's not listening. Well, you never know, Paul. 00:15:57 Speaker 3: I think this is probably I think he's a I think he's a huge sonic the Hedgehog fans, So he's probably he's a son Yeah, he's a sonic cat. A lot of people call them metal heads. Was it Tom Petty? Oh my god? 00:16:08 Speaker 2: But p e d I. I can't believe it. That's a really good poll. I can't believe that. Have you done any Broadway? No, you could. There were conversations not Broadway come on, but not easily because you're not I don't know that people know who you are. Yeah, you're like Broadway loves like a TV film. They want they want like a come on baby, bring down fucking Hart. Yeah, we can only be the nineties. But like you know, I don't know, I feel like that. I don't know if my voice could hold up for the amount of singing a Broadway thing takes. Certain you're you're selling yourself. 00:16:49 Speaker 3: Because I think all I've done voiceover, I've probably done like three hundred episodes of animation stuff and sonic and I think I've destroyed my vocal cord so I can do the job. 00:17:01 Speaker 2: But I don't. 00:17:02 Speaker 3: I don't think if I had to sing every night and blast every night, like really sing first all, that's how little I I sing. I just said blast every now is going to be very upset of me when I'm really out there blasting that audience. I don't know if my voice could hold up. Even when I was doing After Party what you wrote on I like doing the song over and over and over again. 00:17:22 Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, how do people do this every night? Like? Uh, like, you know, sing huge ballads like Phantom is a huge role for such a physical thing, and yeah, Broadway, like you're doing it ten shows a week or so, I guess eight or not? Okay, what am I saying? Ten? It's like they don't have from where are you from? Utah? Oh? My god? Really? And you're not religious? My family I was raised Mormon, so thats why I'm no longer religious. I love all. This is your family accepting of you. Lovely. My parents, what are their names? Debbie and Drew? Debbie Drew. You think they're listening. No, my mama ka listens. I think my mom. 00:18:01 Speaker 3: I actually, I think you're gonna be surprised. They're enormous Ducktails fans, so I'm pretty certain. Debbie and Ly, Oh my god, she's a huge fan of those old Carl Bark's books. 00:18:12 Speaker 2: Debbie Drew. My name is Ben. 00:18:13 Speaker 3: I I act and right, but also I'm sitting with bridgerd He's doing a wonderful thank you for this endorsement. Of course, Oh my goodness. 00:18:21 Speaker 2: I don't know that my dad's ever listened. I think my mom thinks there's probably too much swearing. There's not that much swearing on this especially. There's some swearing, okay, but it's not that it's never been an explicit podcast. 00:18:33 Speaker 3: Is a thing with just my ignorance of right? Is it Mormonism or being Mormon? Mormonism more ignorance of Mormonism? Is it that cursing is kind of frowned upon, frowned upon completely is it in the religious text or no, that's a good question. I don't know that it's like just be proper and present yourself in a nice right. 00:18:49 Speaker 2: I don't think that there's ever like because they used the Bible that used the Book of Mormon. I don't think that there's like a scripture that's like, don't swear right right. That would be weird. I don't know if swearing was a thing existed in any of those time periods. Well, definitely, how old were you when you said this isn't for me, like twenty? But it was a long long road out. Was it very nerve racking for you to tell you? It must have been. I didn't tell him for a very long time. My mom eventually asked me about it and I shared with her, and it was like kind of heartbreak. Is this what the podcast is? Because I'm loving this podcast. Is anything Bridger says, Okay, anything Ben says can be in the podcast. 00:19:24 Speaker 3: I'm anytime you say something interesting, I want to learn more because this is my first time, but. 00:19:29 Speaker 2: I feel like we have to learn about you too, can't. It's my job as a host I do. 00:19:34 Speaker 3: This is why people are more interested in you as what episode number do you think this is like hundred forty episodes? 00:19:44 Speaker 2: That many episodes. 00:19:44 Speaker 3: If they don't know that Jim played the Phantom and Phantom of the Opera, they may they may know at this point, do they know Debbie Drew's name? 00:19:52 Speaker 2: That's I think this is a reveal, this is a podcast exclusive. That's this is your brand of gossip talking about people's parents' names. 00:19:58 Speaker 3: But like building you up and making sure you look good in everybody's eyes. My brand of gossip is like, oh my god, Bridger has been doing great. I hope his parents are happy with him. He's really presenting himself in a lovely way. He's writing for great things. 00:20:11 Speaker 2: That's very more friend gossip. Oh yeah, just friendly, positive attitude. Is that the name of this show? Gossip? Friendly gossip? What are your parents' names? My parents names are Mike and Joan. Michael and Joan. Joan was a Bronx school teacher for fifty years. What did you teach? 00:20:28 Speaker 3: She taught music, which is why I love musicals, singing, you know, all that stuff. We had a piano in the house, which was, you know, huge when growing up, and then my dad. Man, It's so funny because I've talked about my dad. I'm very close to my family. I have a sister also, and I'm very close to my family, and like, I talk to my dad every day. 00:20:45 Speaker 2: Okay. Still like he's like and say, my mom talked her a ton. 00:20:49 Speaker 3: But I always mess up the path of his like what his work was, because one time I listened to a podcast and. 00:20:54 Speaker 2: He's like, you're getting it all wrong. I was like, really, my dad's like a Bronx Jewish guy. So it's like I was like, really, He's like yeah, and so but he started, I'm gonna suck it up, but I'm gonna mess it up. Sorry, Debbie, Debbie's Debbie. We lost a listener, Debbie. I'll get you back, Okay. 00:21:14 Speaker 3: He started off working as the director of the y m h A, which is the Jewish version of the YMCA. Okay, and he worked he works his way up there where he was like really helping out with all sorts of stuff there and helping out mental health and becoming you know, like helping out with social work stuff. And then as we as his life went on, uh, he became he got more into real estate and and stuff like that. But the ideals of helping others were instilled in us very early, which is also kind of an attribute with a lot of people who maybe Jewish, the idea of like the goal is to try to help writers, right right? 00:21:49 Speaker 2: Oh that's so nice. Yeah, so your parents are doing good things. They're both doing they're both doing very lovely. Oh I'm falling in love with them. What does your sister do? You would fucking I would get along them very well. I can tell you would love my parents. My mom was also an elementary school teacher. Come on, what did she teach kindergarten? Yes? Now, is Mormon kindergarten different than my kindergarten? 00:22:11 Speaker 1: No? 00:22:12 Speaker 2: It was public school, so that's what I went to. But like Utaugh public school, there is definitely Mormon influence because there are so many Mormons. Can I tell you a story? I would love to hear a store. 00:22:21 Speaker 3: I've been to Utah once for what, but Salt Lake City for a I think I went to a comic con convention, but I wasn't in it. A friend of mine was in it, someone who was great, and they said, do you want to come along? And I came along and then we said and then this person's like, do you want to go see the we should go to the Tabernacle. Oh sure, sure, So we went to the tabernacle right and listen to people singing. 00:22:44 Speaker 2: It was gorgeous. The Tabernacle Choir their world class is the is the place called the Tabernacle? Yeah, it's it was great. It was many years ago. Many many were you there, like around the holidays or what were they performing? Sorry, I don't know what any trip to Salt like. Did you enjoy the city in general? I remember going out afterwards, I might even by myself. 00:23:05 Speaker 3: No, I was with somebody and then and then we're like, let's go get a drink somewhere, like and it didn't exist. 00:23:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, after liquor laws are insane. I think it was after a certain time it stopped happening, right, Yeah, the liquor laws in Utah are baffling because it's just like a weird Mormon controlling. But Mormons don't drink, so it's just like let the non Mormons do whatever they want. 00:23:24 Speaker 3: So funny, I don't I'm not a big drinker, so I was like, oh, but then it's like I think food and really early also, you like you're encouraged to stay inside at night is yes, and they. 00:23:34 Speaker 2: Are like rules with like when you order drinks, like you have to also order and this could be wrong. I can't. I haven't paid that much you're making this, but you basically like you have to order food in order to get a drink. And they like they have like a curtain they put they cover the liquor with, like see, it's just like a little magic trick when you want to drink. I guess, like a very annoying magic Do you find that you drink a lot? Are you? I don't drink at all? I like maybe a case like if I'm at a. 00:24:03 Speaker 3: Jim Is starring Jim's Final Phantom and they want to celebrate, you want to celebrate. 00:24:07 Speaker 2: I just want to get waste. I can't handle it. No, Like if I'm at a Christmas party and someone's like, do you want to drink? I'll have a little something. But growing up, like having grown up in that atmosphere, I don't have no interest. 00:24:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, my parents didn't drink. My dad doesn't drink at all, my mom very rarely. So it was it wasn't like a thing that whatever. So like when I got to college or high school, was like people were drinking in high school, and then when I was college, it was like we all went bananas, of course, And then when I was done with college, I was like, I don't need to do this, like I've done it a lot, and then like, but I feel like when you do comedy. When I was doing improv, everybody would go to a place called mcmat Did you do operate citizens? 00:24:44 Speaker 2: I took one oh one in LA. Who is your teacher? Dave Tuney? Tuney? Okay, this was eight, eight or nine years ago. 00:24:53 Speaker 4: What was that? 00:24:54 Speaker 2: There's a wolf there? I hear movement? Does everyone hear that movement? There's something right there? You see an animal? It might be someone on the other side of the wall. Maybe okay, maybe there's somebody over there. I hope that there's not a coyote. Just oh no, somebody, it's a human. Okay? Maybe this at night? Are we disturbing song? We're not disturbing anybody. If casual conversation is it disturbance? And it was right over here, it's my wonderful neighbor Ryan. You like Ryan. I love Ryan and Katie. Maybe it's not that'd be oh my god, I get this on the podcast do you want to go over there? I'm terrified. Now I maybe I'll go take a peek. I'm gonna how long accord do you have? Wait? You could take it go. I'm gonna feed you Ryan, Katie. 00:25:39 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take you through this. He's going closer doors. The noise it was very scary because it's something rubbing against the fence. 00:25:45 Speaker 2: How strange. 00:25:46 Speaker 3: And then and then it made a bunch of noises and then it rubbing his fence, so it could be on this side of the frience. Bridger is acting. Bridger's acting very cool. But I'm gonna tell you is the way he's walking you could tell he's terrified. I wonder if it was it must have been a squirrel. 00:26:00 Speaker 2: No way, it was way too big of a sound. Maybe a possum. Do you want to do something about it? There's nothing I can do at this point. We do have I uh, do you want to tell me there's just come and tear things up all the time. Maybe it could be a raccoon. Yeah, it could easily be a raccoon. But that's it's a little frightening to hear. Just kind of a rustling. It was rustling and then a pushing, right, something it was like a push was the scary thing for me, and it didn't seem scared of us at all. Is what all those sounds sounded like? Right? For something to come that close to this early in the evening? Is uh that that's an animal that doesn't care? No, it's I would think of how much noise it made that it had to be. It's something still there. It's probably just waiting. What do you think it is? It's it's gotta be I still think it's a squirrel. Hold up? Is it in the tree? It might be a possum in the tree. Do you even think Ben is now investigating? He's got his light out. We're all going, we're walking at it the tree. Do you see something up there? 00:27:02 Speaker 3: There's something definitely something here. I'm you're brederie. What a wonderful way for us to buy. 00:27:09 Speaker 2: But don't you feel like you did you see something move up there? No? I thought. 00:27:15 Speaker 3: It could be anything. It's fucking spooky season also, which is the craziest thing. Sorry, Debbie, I think it might have. 00:27:24 Speaker 2: Hey bear, if there's something up there, it's see alone in the TV show alone. No Oh, I've been wanting to watch that so bad. Whenever there's like a bear around there, Hey bear, Hey bear? Are there bears up here? I feel like I just read about somebody seeing a bear in la An Eagle Rock. I think we're really close to Eagle Rock. If there's a bear, now, there's a scream coming. The noises that are happening in this neighborhood are really the opposite of what's usually happening. 00:27:56 Speaker 3: Okay, let's I guess. Do we continue and then if something happened we figure it out on the day. 00:28:01 Speaker 2: I think we figured I think it's a very funny bit to say on the day in real world things. I mean, Ben, this is probably a You're obviously trying to distract. What are we talking about? Well, I think there's something that we do need to talk about. You agreed to be on this podcast recently, and I was so excited. This is Ben so wonderful. This will be a great time. We'll get to know each other. Maybe I think we have also, Yeah, we have, which is upsetting because podcast is called I said no gifts and you show up at my house holding a bag? Is that a gift for me? 00:28:43 Speaker 3: I feel like things have been going so well right, if I introduce this gift to things, does it change the tide? 00:28:49 Speaker 2: I mean, I think the tide. The tide has already been changed when I laid eyes on you. The tide change I've been I've been tamping down some feelings. 00:28:58 Speaker 3: You've been thinking about it the whole time, right. I tried to hide a little bit because you did say no gifts. But I did bring you a gift. 00:29:05 Speaker 2: Okay. I mean, I don't know what your game is, But do you want me to open it here on the show? Is that okay? Or I don't know that we have any other choice at this point. If you don't want it, you don't. If you don't want it, you don't have to. If it's a big deal, you don't have to take it. I mean it is a big deal, But I also take it home. Someone else will run on the way home. That bear one. Probably. I think of myself as somebody who likes to accept a challenge, call a gift to change, and this feels like a definite challenge to my authority. 00:29:34 Speaker 3: Okay, I wasn't trying to do that. I think to alleviate thettention I'll give. 00:29:37 Speaker 2: You, should we just I think, yeah, and we'll just see what happens. And I apologize. By the way, I appreciate an apology. I don't know that's gonna rep hair anything. There's two things in Okay, it might have been three things. It matters. What does it matter, like what order I take them out of? Yeah, take the go down without looking and grab the softest thing first. Okay, I feel something soft. I would guess it's a pair of mittens without looking very close. Oh wait, these these are very tasteful. Oh they're Millhouse socks. Yes, I'm a big fan of Millhouse. Oh these are great. Those are everything's coming up? Millhouse? Why did you give these to me? They don't fit me, but I'm certain they look pretty. They look like they feed your your your little tiny fucking feet, so I figured it might work. What size you for? I'm a size fifteen? Oh wow, kids, babybe fifteen months. I'm fifteen months. What size are these? I don't know. This is the tiniest pair of socks I've ever seen. 00:30:47 Speaker 3: I can't wait for you to try my mine. Very beautiful style. I love your shoes and I love your socks. 00:30:52 Speaker 2: I appreciate that I e've been in need of some new socks. There you go. I can't play for the quality of them. They looked very nice, did you so? I assume you ordered these online for yourself. No, someone gave them to Okay, someone gave them to yeah, yeah, yeah, and now it's yours. But they say they say. One of my favorite phrases in all of Simpsons, which is one of my favorite shows of all time, right, which is everything's coming up Millhouse, and which is in my voicemail is by god. I did an episode of The Simpsons and for a person who was playing the house's passing by, I was like, I'm so sorry, do you mind doing my outgoing message? That's incredible? It's great. Who voices Millhouse. It's Pamela Hayden. Oh fantastic. I know exactly who that is. She's great, so good. She plays a ton of different I wonder how you get to Your voicemail is just wonderful. Oh my god, who did you voice in The Simpsons? I voiced a someone that worked like a Whole Foods, like that type of person with like big loop ear rings and stuff like that. Sure, it was only like a couple. It was one scene I was really hoping to get that, but it was it was a while ago, right, but you could easily be another character in the show at something. 00:31:56 Speaker 3: Please Matt Selman, if you're listening, who I love? I actually love very funny, some great funny person speaking of ear? Like, are we talking about gauged ears? Telling about that means? Do you remember the trend when people like were gauging there? As you would put in a yes, that's exactly, and you keep growing it. That character of the animated character I played had those big loop. 00:32:16 Speaker 2: Yes, right, that kind of fell by the wayside. That was a real thing for a while, and then what happened? It feels like, do you ever to get a cool did you ever have to get a cool fad thing? Never had a cool fad thing at all. I think the closest I came was like a bowl cut in seventh grade? What do you call your haircut? Now? I would call this just do it? Yeah? 00:32:35 Speaker 3: I say no, no, we are you gonna say? You're about to say a word, and we're unsure. I wouldn't even I. 00:32:39 Speaker 2: Just tell my barber the same thing as last time you go to a barber, I go to a barber. What's your barber's name sid. 00:32:44 Speaker 3: Do you go to a barber I go to There's a wonderful woman named Abby who when I came here, one of the first movies I did here was called Coffee Town. Brad Copeland, who was a writer on the rest of development, wrote it. And this wonderful woman, Abby Roll, did my hair and I was like, can you just for the movie and I could just cut my hair in real life? 00:33:01 Speaker 2: She goes sure. 00:33:02 Speaker 3: So then I go to her and that's very funny, and she's the nicest person. And I've been friends with her for over a decade and so her and be like, hey, sometime next week, and she tells me when she's available, and do. 00:33:13 Speaker 2: You go to her house or where's she cutting her? 00:33:16 Speaker 3: Him matters At the beginning, you went to her apartment, and then then I went to She has like she used to work at a She used to work, I believe at a salon and now she just rents one of the things if she needs it to cut here for the booth. 00:33:28 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, she has like a little section for her self and it's great. I go to City's in Los Phelis. He's great, excellent haircutter. How long have we going to I've been well. I was going to his former business partner, Sean before that. Then Sean moved to Detroit. Sid moved in. So with Sid two or three years, okay, and how do we feel? I really like you're doing a great job. You's probably popping on a one on the sides or two on the sides. I've gone down to a one recent. Wow, it looks good. Allows some time to grow out that sort of Come on, what are we doing here? We're trying to say money, you do it too. You're gonna come back a week earlier, you know what I mean? 00:34:03 Speaker 1: We do. 00:34:03 Speaker 2: What I would love is a haircut subscription service where you pay however much money a month and you get as many haircuts a month as you want. 00:34:10 Speaker 3: Do you know this is a great This is a great thing for me. I only get one haircut every month and a half. I go every six weeks as well. 00:34:17 Speaker 2: That's it. I don't think I don't want to. 00:34:18 Speaker 3: I like, I like when my hair gets big, and then I like when I'm like, oh god, I gotta cut it, and then I hate not with abby, but like usually when my hair is short, I think it's too short and it takes like two weeks and I'm like, this is great, but. 00:34:29 Speaker 2: I just love the look of hair recently cut. It just looks so clean. That's your little fetish thing hat my darkest fetish. But I do wait every six weeks and then do you have this feeling like the day before you get your haircut, You're like, oh, my hair looks great, Oh my god. 00:34:48 Speaker 3: I can't go unless it's like I've grown, unless it's so clear, and it isn't right. Yeah, And I usually wait till it's so clear. My hair grows pretty quick, and I usually wait till it's like, what are you doing? Come on, what's the longest haircuts? 00:35:02 Speaker 2: Two days ago? Two days ago? It looks really good, it looks Friday, Friday. Okay, that's a good haircut. Yeah. What do you tell her? Just the usual? 00:35:09 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just go And she just does a thing sometimes to say this time I was doing I had a pickup day of a movie that I shot, and I couldn't go too short or I wouldn't look nothing like my play chef I was. I cut it, but like, we can't go cut it, but we can't go too short? 00:35:25 Speaker 2: Right? Or is it that's all she needs? She's great. Do you remember your last bad haircut? Have you ever had like, oh, yeah, haircut. 00:35:31 Speaker 3: Of course, and it'll be like you could put your hand in it and you could feel like the levels of your my hair, Like you can feel where they thin it out, like they use those thinning cheers. You could feel where, and like when you put it up, it's all over the place. I've had all that stuff. 00:35:44 Speaker 2: Oh that's a yeah. Bad haircut is a rough thing to get. Well, I've got these socks I'm very excited about. We're going to kill me. There's another Okay, And I know you said don't bring a gift and this is my fault. And did you say there are two or three things here? There's a an item here, there's at least a second item. Okay, this is a longer, This is a box. This is Fantastic Beasts. Oh my god, what do you think it could be? Are you a Harry Potter fan? I read this books in middle school. Okay? Is this a wand? I don't know I how to open it up for someone who hates gifts. You seem really into this. It is a wand it's an absolute wand from the series Fantastic Do you mind if you take it out here? I would love to wave this around. Yeah? Is that okay? You're gonna feel the weight in it too. That's a real thing. That's like a cheap thing. 00:36:36 Speaker 3: That's a real thing. That's one thousand dollars. That's a thousand dollars wand And what type of wand is it? 00:36:41 Speaker 2: Does it say? Whose? Who? Wond it is? Because don't they say in the books like that the wand picks you? Or never read the books. I've only seen one of the films. Which film? Have you seen? The first one? The first Harry Potter or the first Fantastic? First Harry Potter? I auditioned for Fantastic? Oh you're kidding. This was given to me as a gift. This is it's I love it. Of course you're the first person to take it out. Oh it feels great, It's wonderful. So what does this mean? 00:37:09 Speaker 3: On the bottom there's an X. Surely that means something? Can you is like a scroll in there? 00:37:13 Speaker 2: Is that you could hide some perfume in there? Do you know any spells? I don't know a single spell. Do you know any spells? Abra cadabra? And that's not a real spell, don't shoot on our fucking parade. Sorry, Debbie, Debbie, apologies. Abra cadabra h. Does something happen to make noise? It makes no noise. Let's see. I mean you can get some nice whipping yeah, a lot of whips, but this is a it looks like an authentic you know. I think you'll use it absolutely, Okay. Do you use the gifts that people give you in this? I use some of the gifts. Some gifts are I'm given are practical, like everyday items like a wand or socks. Wait, tell me the gift that you used the most, who gave it. I'm happy to My friend, the comedy writer John Milsteen, gave me a car garbage can. This and I've talked about this probably too much, like a tiny like a funny tiny garbage can. It's a it's a it's not a podcast. It's a garbage can. Let's be clear. It's a garbage can. It hangs off of the passenger side seat. It's like a little in the bag. Yeah, like a canvas bags off with this, man, is it real? It sounds like you're making it up. On the side, I'm trying to hangs off the canvas and okay, so it's basically it's basically like if you're gonna put your arm around someone on the back of that, it hangs right, and it does kind of offer that feeling of like classic like Lover's Lane reaching your arm around. 00:38:39 Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great bit for commedy. No, sorry, baby, I'm just trying to throw this straw wrapper. Yeah, is there a liner in it? There's Now, that's the thing. There's no liner, which could be disgusting. But the things I'm throwing away in my car are dry paper and exclusively dry paper, receipts, straw wrappers, napkins. Okay, you know I'm not putting a banana peel in there. I think not putting a diaper in there. No, I think that, do your kids? 00:39:08 Speaker 2: I don't have. I think that. I think it's a great idea, I feel. You know, what I do with my garbage recycling is I throw it in the passenger floor and then when I and then when there's when I get to a place where there's a garbage can. Right, But sometimes you're running around so much that I'll have like two or three bottles of water there, and so to have that in the back would be wonderful. It's I'm telling you life changing wow, because you get Are you embarrassed? Embarrassed? Is it embarrassing? Like if I saw your car, it'd be like, that's weird, dude, No, you would think what a sleek garbage can you have in there? What I'm currently embarrassed about is I've had I borrowed a cooler from a friend about three weeks ago, and it's just been kind of shaking around in the back of my car. I need to take it back to his house. That us. But you see a cooler in the back of a car looks weird, right, it looks like somebody it's like, what's going Sorry, I don't think you're appreciating the one. I'm sorry. I hate to stop. You've already put it back in the box. 00:40:02 Speaker 3: I have not put it back in the Albis Dumbledore, Oh this is Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore. 00:40:07 Speaker 2: It's his wanng is that the double door? He doesn't care, it's the you love to find out how much it costs? Absolutely find out much cost Albis Dumbledore. Yea, Albus Dumbledore. If you if you're not are you looking at how much this Fantastic In the Harry Potter series is kind of the wise old basically the principal of the school. But it's the man with the beard. Yeah. And then in Fantastic Abeasts I believe he's played by who's the good looking British man? Uh? You Grant? No, you're younger you it's is it you and McGregor in the place. Oh, what a great casting choice. He also guy, there's another guy who Jude Law. I think it's shood Law. Those two men together, we got it. Yes, it's that's Is it fifty plus? Do you want to know? Are we going to guess? Do you want to know this? I love prices right style. 00:40:55 Speaker 3: I think either. I think I let me feel it. Hold up, let's all, let's all got to want to look at the out of the box. Yeah yeah, yeah, see what sort of line? Okay, now, let me just for the fans of the podcast who love object work. It's a very weighted on the bottom where it feels great, so like it looks like it's made of wood. Up top, I'm sure it's fake would but the bottom is very weighted to give a flick. 00:41:17 Speaker 2: I'm telling you. The more I play with it, more. I'm probably taking it back home. You are not walking off of this property. But you don't like gifts, well, I love wands. I'm starting a new podcast called Please Bring Me a walle I'm gonna say thirty dollars. I'm gonna say thirty dollars okay, and I'm gonna say, oh my god, is it's so much? Am I gonna lose my mind? I'm gonna say this is from the movie this, This isn't a replica. This is from the Yeah, this is Jude Laws. But then I'm gonna say they had a seventy nine dollars budget for the movie. They said they send us. I think this is an eighty dollars want all right, this is Oh my god, wait, this is gonna blow my mind. I'm gonna be so my friend who gave it to me. 00:41:56 Speaker 3: If you find if you find if I find out, it's like really expensive. You know the guys it's Albus dunbulldoor as you put that. 00:42:02 Speaker 4: In, Yeah, yeah, Albus Dumbledore. Oh no, fantastic beast costs at the Universal Orlando dot com shop. 00:42:10 Speaker 2: My favorite place to show that three good dollars stuff sixty three dollars WHOA, that's a real gift. Wow, who gave this to you? A really great guy? Oh my god, can I tell you that? Ahthough now he knows I gave it away. Oh, this is so humiliating for you because if I talk about who it is, it'll get back to him because yeah, maybe you can't say his name, but he's so wonderful and funny and not known for being wonderful and funny. But it also gives me another great story I could tell. I can't. The temptation is there. 00:42:40 Speaker 3: I'll tell you afterwards, and you're gonna find it because the story is great. 00:42:43 Speaker 2: Did he give it to you as a gag? All right, I'll say it. He's gonna be really upset that I gave it away, but now he knows that you haven't. Yeah, it's insane. 00:42:50 Speaker 3: You're either going to keep it or you have to pay it forward. Right, it'll be sold it off. I feel terrible. You know, someone gives you a gift you want to be but you want to give it was a bit gift. Okay, So when we did a I haven't really talked about that. This is actually interesting exclusive. I sold an animated show to ABC Beautiful, which I've never said okay, which is very weird that this is the place I'm saying it. And I sold it with a wonderful producer named Ryan Khalil, and he's he used to be a professional football player. Now he's now he's a producer, and he is so good at like coming up with that. He's so creative and wonderful. He was obviously made for entertainment world. But he had this body and he was just a football right right of course. But if he didn't, he would have been, you know, like doing what we do. So he came to me and he he before COVID. He's like, I want to do this like idea with Oh my god, I can't say it. I know why I gave it to me. I didn't think about it till right now. 00:43:47 Speaker 2: Oh no, wait, does it make noise? No, it broke, it's over, it's shattered on the floor. Wait, I understand why I gave it to me. Now I just realized how we did it. Our admated show is about wizards. I never even made the connection. I can't believe. I'm so fucking stupid. You're you're oh my god, you put me in such a weird position he is. There is a record post. It's huge. It's it's huge, guys, it's huge, really, and it's still up there at I don't return. No, possums, don't attack. 00:44:27 Speaker 3: We're here where the light, guys, we're here with the light. And it's doing a catwalk. It's doing a catwalk. Unbelievable coming back. 00:44:37 Speaker 2: Try to catch it on camera. Let's see if we can get a picture of it. We're gonna get do you have like a light? No? Wait? Where did it go? Wow? I can't believe it came back. That's shocking. Okay, we got a light on this. This thing is sick. We have a little juice. It was right up there. Did you see it? Evil creature? Possums are absolutely terrifying to me, but they're kind of harmless as far as I know. Well, there's no photo of the podcast. We saw it? There was did you see it? Oh? Yeah, there's confirmation. Wow, what a what a reveal? Man. 00:45:09 Speaker 3: I feel terrible about that. I can't believe I didn't make the connection. I thought he was just giving me something silly. I wrote this episode for six months. 00:45:19 Speaker 2: We sold it. 00:45:19 Speaker 3: I wrote a pilot for it all like and I didn't in a didn't even think never occurred to you. 00:45:26 Speaker 2: That this Like, Oh man, I think this is just more your ignorance of the Harry Potter world than you. No. 00:45:33 Speaker 3: I had to like figure out what the wand looked like beause we did a test animation and stuff, so like I had to figure out a wand. 00:45:38 Speaker 2: So that's why he got one that looks exactly like the one that they made. Oh, okay, I get it so much. If this you want me to edit out of the show, fuck, this is now a complete mass shit. I get it. I understand. Let me talk. 00:45:57 Speaker 3: There are so many things that I wanted to bring. I looked through my I've looked at my place of stuff. I was like, what what do I What don't I need? And I was looking through stuff, and then I was like, do I I had? I was gonna bring you. Do you like Star Wars? 00:46:09 Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't really care about Star Wars. Figure, I didn't care about Star Wars? How did you fike here? I figured? I figure I didn't care about Harry Potter either. I like the books. I'm I can't believe that in connect it all? Well, of course that's why he gave it to me. But isn't this such an incredible use of the gift, Like it could have just been in the bottom of your closet, but now it's the star of a podcast and it's created such a complicated discussion about what can be left in the episode. Yeah, that's true. I guess we'll keep it all in there. And by the way, this is what we'll do. This is what I do, right, Can I take it back? You can take it back. We'll take some pictures with it, and you'll take it back. I wonder if Ryan Ryan will definitely, if his name is in this, will definitely find out. It sounds like Ryan has a great sense of humor. Oh, let me talk about Ryan for a second. Yeah, let's just butter up. I'd let me. The only football player I knew that made a career change was our high school teacher. What was his name, mister? Yeah, And we might have to edit that out because he just basically cooked ramen on the Bunsen burner and watched porn. What do you mean on the high school computer? What do you mean he's yes, what are you talking about? He used the high school computer to look up porn on the internet while there was a class going on. Maybe during breaks. Oh, there have been I've been. 00:47:30 Speaker 3: Don't feel bad for him. He was terrible, terrible. There have been I felt bad for the kids. There have been teachers along my way that have gotten in trouble as well. Two different teachers have had to stop teaching since, one in high school, one in college. 00:47:42 Speaker 2: Oh and do for what reasons? Are they too dark to talk about it? Pretty dark? Okay? Pretty dark? You know people get into some things. Well, let's talk up, right, we could talk about it. I guess right, it's I mean, okay, So this is what happened. So I sold this And by the way, haven't you talked about the show? Sold this show to ABC? Ryan? 00:48:02 Speaker 3: Okay, so it started with before COVID. I don't know if people know, but I write as well. I started off as a writer and did writing and acting at the same time, and so I'm always writing. 00:48:10 Speaker 2: I always tell people that you could create your. 00:48:12 Speaker 3: Own you could create your own opportunities with writing, but I actually got to wait for people to give you so you could always be writing. 00:48:18 Speaker 2: So always a huge proponent of it. Started as a joke writer, as a freelance writer for a Letterman where you worked and I worked such a fun connection, Yes, very fun. And then freelance for a week and update thing. My first staff job was Robot Chicken for five episodes, and then I went into movies and I sold I got to write some movies and so anyway, so Ryan is incredible, like his brain is incredible, and he's like, I have this idea for this this show, this show about wizards. And I was like, I just I just was too busy. I didn't have time. I was like, I know, and he asked me again. He goes, what do you think? 00:48:48 Speaker 3: And I go, I don't have time. And then COVID happened. He goes, well what about now? And I go, let's do it none And I literally was so excited. 00:48:54 Speaker 2: And so he came. 00:48:55 Speaker 3: He had this great idea and we were talking about it and then he get in and I like, I kind of like wrote on it and like I tried to build it. 00:49:03 Speaker 2: Out a bit, and then we we cast. We made a little short, we cast, it got amazing people in this little cast. We animated it and then we went out and we sold it, and then we ABC bought it because they were going to do animation again, So that's that's such a surprise. 00:49:17 Speaker 1: Well it was. 00:49:17 Speaker 2: That's very exciting. So we wrote it and I went through a lot of drafts. 00:49:21 Speaker 3: But Ryan was awesome during it, awesome, awesome it during this time at the beginning. He bought me as a gift like when we sold it, because you know, we we got we got it to a place where we could sell. It was a big fun deal, right, and Ryan was a producer on it, And honestly, Ryan probably would have gotten some sort of creator it would have been something fun, I'm assuming for him because he did such a he was such an influential part of the beginning. But I loved working with him and I was like, God, he's so good at thinking of ideas. He's so good at thinking of characters. This person who hasn't probably written a lot of stuff is already in a writer's mind. And you don't get that with producers a lot. So he was awesome work with. So as a gift for my birthday, he got me something special because we had this great journey together and it was and I opened it and it was like it came like it was delivered as this big box. 00:50:06 Speaker 2: You you hate gifts for me, I hate this. Oh this is my nightmare, okay, And it was right there and I bring it in there and I open it and it's the riddlers came from Batman. Oh way, the Riddlers came from Batman Forever. And then I opened it. I'm like, oh my fucking god, this is crazy. And then I was like what do I do with this? Like? What do you do? 00:50:25 Speaker 4: Right? 00:50:27 Speaker 3: So I framed and all that, and then made a joke about like what do I I don't know what to do with this? This is like because it's also like so beautiful. I don't want it to get hurt, and also like, but what the fuck am I going to do? I'm not like a big Batman Forever guy. 00:50:38 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go walk around the neighborhood. Oh my god. So I loved it, and I put in like this beautiful case. 00:50:42 Speaker 3: I spent all this money making it look gorgeous and it'll hang up in my room something of that. But then we would make we would do bits about it all the time. So for uh, so I got him for his birthday in nineteen seventies. Riddler Music Box where it's a little messed up so when you run it. It's like like a very spooky to be but it's so old, so then it's been lovely. So I thought this was another like whatever gift, because we keep giving each other weird gifts. 00:51:07 Speaker 2: But this makes perfect sense. And not only is perfect very obvious. It's so obvious. 00:51:13 Speaker 3: And it was when the show I think stopped when we didn't go when it wasn't going to go forward. 00:51:19 Speaker 2: Oh, that's a very thoughtful gift on his incredible gift. 00:51:22 Speaker 3: And I didn't think about it, and I just thought it was because we give each other weird things, right props or whatever. So I thought this was that I had no I cannot believe my lunacy, but this is you've justified. I feel like the situation is fair. 00:51:38 Speaker 2: Well. You also don't want to edit this out. There's just too much, too much. I'm trying to I'm trying to just save some audio here. I'm trying to save honor and we're talking about how amazing Ryan is. Mortal Media. If you ever want to use his producer, I'm already of the best producers in Hollywood. I'm not kidding. 00:51:51 Speaker 3: I had the best I had the best time with him, and he was gave great notes and it was awesome and. 00:51:56 Speaker 2: He's a great gift gifter. And now you have this gift, and now I've got if Ryan so he can come. But I did treat that real well. That thing is in a gorgeous case. I gave it a beautiful black background, a little gold trim, and scores like an authentic prop from the movie. It is the actual prop is that Jim Carry used. 00:52:13 Speaker 3: Which is also funny because now because a Sonic I did a voice in Sonic voice. Yeah, but I mean also, it's the easy way. I'm like like, oh, you're in Sonics. My face isn't in Sonic. But but and now I'm I get to I get to know Jim Carry a little bit, and how mortified I would be if Jim Carrey came over And. 00:52:32 Speaker 2: Okay, now let me tell you Ryan Cleon. I he thought of this. 00:52:34 Speaker 3: He had this great feeling that this kind of show could be done for Wizards and yeah, so I was like, where do I hang it? But wow, yeah, so that's it. So this is a great gift and it's and he spent real money on it, seventy bucks. 00:52:46 Speaker 2: Yeah, he really is a good getting you some nice gifts. He wants to fill your home. He's gonna yell at me so much that I gave it away. But this is what it is now. He knows where it is. Yeah, he knows where it is. It can be taken back. Ryan cal him down. Got it fine. I don't like to take back gifts. Okay, I appreciate I can't. Has anybody ever taken back gift? No one's ever taken back a gift as far as I can remember. No, it can't be. Let me ask you what year were you at Letterman? Oh? Great question. It was right after college. I graduated college in two thousand and three. 00:53:15 Speaker 3: Okay, so I would have been there at I would be there, Oh be at the end of two thousand and three. 00:53:19 Speaker 2: Oh okay, So we need twenty years six years. When's your birthday? August October? Oh my god, October tenth, October ninth. When's yours? September fifteenth? What'd you say? October tenth? I just felt it. I'm very good at guessing birthdays. May I okay? On the lease? 00:53:36 Speaker 3: Ready, on alease, I'm getting of Oh my god, on the lease? April sixth? 00:53:42 Speaker 4: Interesting? 00:53:43 Speaker 2: What is it now? Oh? Sorry? August seventh, August third. There we got two guesses and I'm four days away. Not bad. There's three hundred and sixty five days in the year. Why is nobody freaking the fuck out the fair not offering him a job? Thank you? 00:53:59 Speaker 3: You should be at the State Fair. I should be the State Fair or in a Tim Burton movie playing someone in the stator. 00:54:03 Speaker 4: Yeah. 00:54:03 Speaker 2: Absolutely, watch what you wish for? What's your favorite director? My favorite director? That's a good question. I love the Coen Brothers. That's an obvious choice, but too easy, you know, I love What about a movie that you watched that you're like, Okay, I love this movie. A movie that really comforts made a serious man by the Coen Brothers really oh so reassuring. God, I love it. I mean, have you seen that movie? I have, but when it came out. Michael Stulbert, Oh, he's wonderful and one of the best actors of our time. Everybody in the movie's perfect. Richard Kind is incredible. Fred Melamed is, by the way, so. 00:54:34 Speaker 3: They played my dad in something Fred Melamed in what in House of Lies television show called The House Lies, you played my dad and there's a scene where he has a heart attack in front of me and dies spoiler, and we had to play it, and I was like, oh, it's like, you know, as an actor, you're like, okay, now, like what happens if your dad? And right before we're fighting, like we don't like each other, and he dies and it was great. And Fred was great. 00:54:57 Speaker 2: He's so funny. But Richard kind also the best, one of the all time greats. The best I met him met out. 00:55:03 Speaker 3: My friend had like a I had like a couple of friends over for dinner, and Richard Kaine was there and I was like, oh my god, this is gonna be great. 00:55:09 Speaker 2: It was great. He seems like a genuinely sweet person. And his best friends with George Clooney. 00:55:14 Speaker 3: Oh he told us a story about that. Yeah, you told us the story about him and George Clooney when we're there. 00:55:17 Speaker 2: That's incredible. 00:55:18 Speaker 3: What I forgot it just like I immediately forgot I wrote a show about wizards. And then my friend, who's like really caring and loving, got me a perfect gift. I can't tell you how perfect. This looks exactly And this movie didn't come out yet looks exactly like. 00:55:31 Speaker 2: Oh, so you kind of guessed what the movie was going to do. I guess the movie may have stolen movie. Probably, I just never watched it. Yeah, the show. 00:55:39 Speaker 3: I was so happy with that show, and it came out like we were so psyched with it, and the Prussian Company loved it, and then ABC loved it, and then it went up the thing and then ABC said we're not doing animated shows right now. 00:55:48 Speaker 2: Oh. I was like what, And then that was it. It's a miracle that anything ever gets made. It's an absolutely if something's on television, it's it's a true miracle. 00:55:58 Speaker 3: And had such a good time writing it because I love animation, and I was like, oh, and then I get to like, I get to cast this thing and put all these talented people, and but who knows. There's always a chance we could sell it somewhere else. But I can't believe I didn't make the connection. He's such a good person. We got to keep this all in. He's not gonna take Guy's an angel. Hopefully he's like he's doing incredible. He's producing like twenty things at the same time. 00:56:20 Speaker 2: He'll be fine. He's got sixty dollars wizard money. Yeah, he's dollar wizard money. He's gonna be pissed that I gave it away, but he's going to be thrilled to have been. He's really out there in the public eye at this point. 00:56:33 Speaker 3: I just we give each other weird, funny gifts, right, And so I thought this was like Riddler's kne Okay seven nineteen seventies, Riddler's Music Box and what else. 00:56:42 Speaker 2: It's so perfect and makes sense unless we find out that this is the one that Jude law. Actually that's my nervous now, That's why I'm nervous. No, because I think he would I think he would have really. And also there's a there's a there's a barcode on it. I hope that the prop they got in the movie. They sent somebody to Universal Studios. Can you go grab a land for this guy? Can I ask you two questions? Yeah, of course. Do you have any props from anything? Do I own any props from uh? I don't think I own a prop for anything I've ever, you don't have a blockbuster thing from your Blockbuster. I mean I have like Blockbuster merch that like talking about like, but like probably the table let me think for after party. You weren't on set outside of one day. I bet I Yeah, I was nothing from After Party. I might have something from Kimmy Schmidt. That's fun, but I can't. I'm trying to think of what it would be if I gave you unlimited funds and anything you wanted. You could have any two props from two different things from all time, from all time. 00:57:41 Speaker 3: Okay, this is a great one. Oh my god, I can't believe I just thought about this now. 00:57:45 Speaker 2: First lawnmower from that movie the guy rides the lawnmower across the United States, the David Lynch movie. You want the full Okay, of course it's yours. That's mine. So you've wasted one. You've made a mistake and wasted one. Now you have one. Laugh. The second thing I want I would probably have to be I would probably have to be I would It would be Uh, of course, we're gonna get a jet that Tom Cruise is flying around. I want to I want two forms. Well, I'm gonna that's that's gonna be a problem. I suppose I could put the jet on top of my roof. I have a flat roof. Your favorite movie is a serious, man, you want anything from there? The mentaculous? It was something I would love to have, which is the little book that Richard kind is filling with kind of and you know Richard conspiracy, you know he's got it for real. But if I could have the jet that Tom Cruise is flying around and which one you know he applies in a compn't ask me to name a jet a Tom Kat? 00:58:45 Speaker 4: Is that? 00:58:46 Speaker 2: Or am I just saying Tom Cat because it's of the name could be but as you might be nailing it. Uh yeah, I think those are the two. What would you what would you get? 00:58:53 Speaker 3: I would probably get the flux capacitor from uh back to the future, right, so instead of the whole car pastor and put. 00:59:01 Speaker 2: The actually what does that object look like? It's like in the carts in the back and it almost looks like a y and it looks like it looks like energy is running through it. 00:59:11 Speaker 3: Sure, right, I mean the whole car I would love, But like big, I'm thinking about where I would put this thing and that like the hoverboard, maybe the real hoverboard. I want one of the hoverboards. May now, when you say the real are you thinking? I know it doesn't really, But I want the prop. I love that board I take. I take I ask for a prop from everything I've done. So anything I've done, I have a piece of it in my house somewhere. 00:59:34 Speaker 2: Right cluttering your house, cluttering my house, absolutely destroying. Do you have a favorite thing you've taken home? Oh? My god, you know how much you hate Star Wars. I don't hate Star Wars. You know how much? Didn't he say an? Did he say, I want you to hate Star Wars? Okay, I despise Star Wars. I want nothing to do with it. I have a couple. One. I have the with my jacket from After Party, which jacket chackry stylish loved it. But one of the best things was I did. I helped with the voice of BB eight, which is a character, of course, the cute little ball, that's right, that's what people who don't watch the movie call it. And so I was there. 01:00:07 Speaker 3: So and then for the second one, I did a couple I had. I got a little jokes, a couple of jokes in the ninth one, seven a couple jokes, and then did BB eight stuff and then our help with that, and then but I got a tour and JJ was directing, and he's amazing, and I look up to him and he's a friend. I love him so much, and so he's like, you can you know, bet lepen see the Milannium Falcon because we're wrapped with it. We just have one more scene with it. And I was like, oh my god, Lannium Falcon is the ship that I've played. The video game have you? 01:00:40 Speaker 2: I wrote on the Nintendo sixty four? Of course? Great game? Were you? Are you a video game person? I love video What are we fucking doing? We could have talked about video games this whole time? I have to anybody, I have to really hold myself back with video games because I never know if somebody's wait, what were your systems coming up? Because you're a little bit younger, a little bit of the ness? Did you Superintendo? Superintendo Games? And Super Nintendo I loved obviously. Super Mario World is come on past. Oh my God, one of the best games I've ever made. I'm a Zelda person through in Oh my God? Did you play Okarina? I'm currently replaying. It's one of the best. It's so good, although it's harder than I remember. And the songs like It's they're so good, they're amazing. I'd love to learn to play them on the piano. I bought an app on my phone. I was an adult when I did this. 01:01:31 Speaker 3: That you blow into and it goes and it has all the notes of the okarina and you could play if you remember the songs, you could play the song. 01:01:38 Speaker 2: Have you learned to replay them? I mean that I was like on the first iPhone, I think I was like, can you believe we could do this with our phones? Links the past? Now? Were you a role playing guy? Did you ever play Chrono Trigger? I never, I have a I tried playing Chrono Trigger and there was something about the way it was that gave me motion sickness impossible. You're not thinking the right game, I think. No, I'm thinking of Secret of Man, that's what you're thinking of. Can you please? I never played Chrono Tri Chrono Trick. Do you play Final Fantasy? I've never played all the way through a find forgive me. I just don't think you're a role playing person. I love earth Bound. Yeah. I love Pokemon RPGs. Basically, can I can I please? What's one I should play? Okay? Well, listen, I so I play. When I was a kid, I played. I played like all I did was play video games? Okay, right? 01:02:23 Speaker 3: And I loved it, but then got like I couldn't stop playing, right, And it was like, I remember I got Final Fantasy, so but you know, like we weren't like the super rich people, so we couldn't have Super Nintendo and Genesis. I got Superintendo that I went to David's house, would play Sonic over there, you know, play Quackshot, I play all my Genesis games over there. And then my neighbor had Nintendo sixty four, so I'd go over there, beat Okorino time with him, play Mario sixty four and stuff like that with him. And so I didn't have a PlayStation, but my cousin had PlayStation right, so he was he went to like Sleepway Camp, and I never went Sleepway Camp because I would oftentimes work during the summers. So I got his PlayStation and he had like the seven day set of Final Fantasy seven. So I played for seventy two hours in a very short amount of time, and my parents and I couldn't leave. 01:03:16 Speaker 2: I had to know what was going to happen. I love the game so much, I had to know, and so like I couldn't stop playing, and I would play through the night, and my parents like, go the fuck to sleep, and I wouldn't go outside and I love basketball, and I wouldn't play basketball like you got a chill. And then like when he came back, I'd give him his PlayStation back. But it was like one of the best things. 01:03:37 Speaker 3: But one of the best games I ever played in my life was Corona Trigger and I just rebeat it like recently and. 01:03:42 Speaker 2: It was still so satisfying experience, so good, okay, and the story is wonderful and the music is beautiful, right, and it's just it's just like if any video game nerds, I'm assuming if you like video games, there's gotta be some nerds on here, but there better be some nerds listening that love video games like we do. I hope that it's strictly jocks. Listen, Ryan, listen Ryan's but Ryan kind of does it all. He's going to be so I hope he's not upset. But it's one of my favorite games. If you want a game that's really quick to beat that I'm really impressed by, is a game called Inside. Oh I love Inside, Yeah, both perfectly. I was blown away by Inside. It's so spooky, Oh my god, atmosphorgeous. And then like Ri in the Blind Forest, both of those games and will the Wist, Yes, gorgeous. Uh, those games are known and this is a really nerdy thing. Metroit vanias like Metroid or metroidread loved it, love all Metroit loved it. Did you as a kid, did you have a feeling that like kids who owned the Sega Genesis were a little more dangerous, a little cooler. There was blood in Mortal Kombat, throwing up they had, right, I would go to my friend's house to see, like someone get killed. And also Blades of Glory or Blades Steal, which is a hockey game. You could run over the person's head and they bleed. Why was that necessary? Not necessary? That is actual gratuitous. It was hockey, I can't tell you how. And it was like and the buttons were like bigger and three of them, right, it just the entire thing, and it was black and just seemed kind of. 01:05:16 Speaker 3: Well, remember when Sonic came out, as like, uh, love Mario of course, love Sonic of course so much. But it's like when Sona came out, it was so fast and it felt so dangerous because it was so fast, Like no side scroller went that fast. It's like, oh my god, this I'm like trying to slow my character down, which has never been a thing for any video game on Superintown of course. 01:05:34 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Genesis was kind of the leather jacket for an elementary schooler. That's right. Wow, Well it's a shame we found. I mean we could have I could talk about this for forty hours. I Could's sincerely a passion of mine. Oh, I mean, I could bore the listener to ruined. We absolutely ruined this whole thing. But at some point we'll have to talk about video games again. But speaking of games, we have to play a game. Do you play games in this yes? Was it a fun one? It'd better be O. It's called Gift Master? Okay? And is it like the prop game? I just save you? Wait about what game? Picking your favorite props? It's a little bit it is. Actually there's an element of that. Okay, I need a number between one and ten. First six, Okay, I have to do some light calculating, and then I'll tell you how to play the game. Right now, you can recommend something, promote something, do whatever you want. I'll be right back. You're just gonna leave. 01:06:22 Speaker 3: Yes, he's just you in the possum. Oh god, Okay, Bridgard just went He's going into his house. He is getting changed. This is insane. He's putting on this is crazy Samus from Metroid. He's dressing as Samus. Gorgeous, gorgeous outfit. It is the full Samoose. He's kind Also, by the way, of course, we all know that if you beat Metro at a certain time, Samus ends up in a bikini. 01:06:47 Speaker 2: That is not what Bridger is doing. But I bet Bridger knew that. Did Bridger know that? I didn't know. He didn't know that. 01:06:53 Speaker 3: He's coming back And right now the possum. He's just got attack by the possum. The possum is tumbling with him. The possum is confused. Bridge is trying to fire the canon from his Metro off it. He's realizing now that it's not real. The possum is tearing his face apart. Okay, he's gonna need he's gonna need dental surgery. One need dental surgery, and he's gonna need no vacanan. We're gonna get right back where we start from from the beginning. Life is a Harold and here's Ridgard. 01:07:17 Speaker 2: Okay, this is perfect use of the time, absolutely perfect use of the time. This is how gift master works. I'm gonna name three gifts. Three things you can give a wizard, remember the wizard, the wizard, not from the wizard. Wizard of course, I remember biggest thing in the world, premier premiere Mario three, Mario three, of course, and I wanted everyone wanted to be it's a Fred Savage. You're sure, damn right it was. But it was his kid. It was his brother, that Ben Savage. No, no, no, no, Fred Savage is in it. But in the story, his brother's like the prodigy. Oh, because his brother's kind of quiet or what something right, and he becomes kind of the mass. Sure, if we watch it again, it would be unpc what his brother is. I'm sure, I'm sure certainly they probably they picked something. Yes, Okay, here's how gift master works. This is how gift master works. Three gifts you're gonna give away and I'm named three celebrities. You're gonna tell me which celebrity you're gonna give which gift and why? Oh, and you tell me the gift and the celebrity. Yeah, I get so, you tell me three three, and I get to choose who. I give you two, right, and you're gonna tell me why. Okay, great, these are the gifts you'll be giving away. Number one and I don't even know what this is? Really an ionic hair dryer. Does anybody know what an ionic hair dryer? Make these choices? If you don't know what, I have this Google doc that I just type things into. Assumption is it's a hair dryer, but it uses some sort of technology that's sort of ionic hair. Okay, he's gonna go to somebodyho was here. Number two is a car dealership, So gift a whole car dealership. They're getting a car dealership. It's gonna suddenly be Blanks Blank's key or whatever. I have to be a key dealership. It doesn't have to be a keyler you prefer to be. No, it's up to you. You're the gift giver. And number three is a UTI. Okay, so you'urinary tract infection. So that's it is a gift. We have to keep in mind this is a gift. 01:09:02 Speaker 3: But that's also you're asking me to give something painful to somebody, but a life experience. 01:09:07 Speaker 2: Okay, that's an I appreciate it. My three people Your three people are number one Paul Hollywood from Great British Bake Off. Number two Julie Delpy. I love Julie Delpy. Oh the director, the actor and director. Right, she does it all? Uh French? And is is she in the After Midnight? You're a mess? Yeah, of course, just keep calling Bridger. And number three is Bad Bunny, who's the pop R and b rap sensation. I don't know that much about Bad Bunny, and I think that is her sign that I'm out of touch. It is entirely my fault because he's huge. Who do you listen to? It's the last album you downloaded, last album I downloaded. I'm listening to this guy, Daniel Romano a lot. Who's Daniel incredible Canadian kind of does he listen to the podcast? Daniel Daniel reach Out? I just saw him at the Zebulon and he was so good. What's the Zebulon? It's a club in Silver Lake. Oh, how cool he's Uh, he's so prolific and so good. It's suspicious Canadian garage country goods suspicious. It's it's it's so good that it is suspicious. It's like I thought it was like a brand of music I haven't heard of. That's a good, good genreious electro metal. But no Daniel Romano, anybody should listen to him is so good. Okay, what's the last thing you listened to? This is what I have. I learned some jazz today. I have the new John Legend album. I have Shalomar, this song the Night to Remember. I don't. I have no idea who Shalamar is. Oh man, this is it's a great band from back the day. But also that song is great back in Wait, what's that? I also have a playlist of all these songs that I want to put in movies and TV show that. Of course, I got this beautiful list of songs I can't wait to put in things. That's kind of a bad idea, to be honest, to let the songs dictate what's happening my writing. 01:10:58 Speaker 3: I've been writing for too long. It's like, all right, oh, I like this song. Maybe I write a song where I can use this or use this. 01:11:04 Speaker 2: Don't know. Okay, so I forgot. 01:11:06 Speaker 3: We're playing Paul Hollywood. Seems like he could handle. Where's my a car? 01:11:11 Speaker 2: Oh wait, you've got a car dealership? You've got give Julie give Julie the and you've got a hair dryer. Okay. 01:11:18 Speaker 3: Well, the problem is I'm gonna give Bad Bunny. I don't know who Bad Bunny is, right, I've. 01:11:23 Speaker 2: Never heard his music. But also, you're a guy in sunglasses and he's very cool, right, and he's truly a huge sensation. I'm not gonna let anybody have that Uti. You've got to give the UT. I to somethings. To me, I'm a gift giver. I can do whatever I want. Paul could handle a Uti. You're we're just giving you the person I can handle it the most. Well, you got to find a reason. Yeah, you know what. This is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get them all in the same goddamn room, and I'm. 01:11:49 Speaker 3: Gonna say what would what best would make your day? And I'm gonna let them choose. It's like a gufting suite. So Paul Hollywood, Fine, We'll give them the Uti because he can. 01:12:00 Speaker 2: Okay, We'll give I guess Bad Bunny will get that hair dryer, Okay, sure, And then I guess Julie Delpi is going to get her own car. Julie Delpi Hyundai Yunday Sunday, yun Day. It is just Hyundai. It's day. I think I have to say people are always saying Hyundai, and it's not that it's There was a whole ad campaign at some point that they were like, it's Hundai, like Sunday. I don't think so. I think so. I think before our time, but I'm pretty sure that happened. Okay, Hey, Mikey likes it or Mikey likes it? What is it? Everybody just said it Yundai play more time Hyunday. Well we got to the bottom of that, so you're just kind of okay. I would love for Julie to be a suddenly a car dealership man. 01:12:48 Speaker 3: You barely knew who she was. This is embarrassing for you. If you don't know who Bad Bunny is, you barely know who Julie Delpi is. Did you watch Great Bake offf you definitely do. 01:12:56 Speaker 2: I love them. I'm a couple behind, but I love the Bakeuff. Yeah, it's great. Julie would be a good contestant on The Bakeoff. What if I told you, okay, i' gonna give you two options. You can either get who's an actor or actress that You're like, I love I just think this person has a great heart. I love watching him a great heart, a great heart. 01:13:15 Speaker 3: You're like, oh god, I love watching him or her because or they wouldever because they have such a great heart. 01:13:22 Speaker 2: Katherine Keener, Oh my god, I met her. She does She's great. She seems incredible to me. 01:13:26 Speaker 3: Okay, so ready you get the choice of either getting a hug, a genuine, warm hug from Katherine Ken okay, or Paul Hollywood gives you a handshake because you did something right. 01:13:38 Speaker 2: Katherine Keener, no doubt. 01:13:40 Speaker 4: Wow. 01:13:40 Speaker 2: I think the handshake is a little bit of a gimmick, of course, and it came out of nowhere. Was the handshake did not exist until just the last few people cry when they shake his hand, I know. And it's I don't know where that came from, because I've been watching the show for a long time, and I do not remember a handshake until maybe the last four years. 01:13:56 Speaker 3: No, it's been around forever. No, it's been around for so many years. I'm telling you, it's been around for maybe since season three. 01:14:04 Speaker 2: Let's pop up. Let's come on, let's do this. There's no way on a list you find this information. Electric City Electric six Oh, I love the Electric six Fire in the disco? Do you remember that song? Can't sing it? No, we certainly can't sing up, but we could definitely remember it. I want to get sued for remembering a song, my god, please. 01:14:22 Speaker 4: So the first ever Hollywood handshake was given to Ryan for his impressive sweet Dough signature in series three. 01:14:29 Speaker 2: What I can't sing anything? How many no's can I sing before? It's illegal? Okay, that's illegal? 01:14:40 Speaker 1: Wow? 01:14:40 Speaker 3: Hey, Ryan, if you're listening to this one, I'm playing with the I'm getting my work in now with this. I'm playing with the wand I'm definitely playing Let's. 01:14:47 Speaker 2: Use the wand more want more than I have on this? I will say this. Can I say this? How about this? Can I make a deal with the Bridges? I would love to make a deal. 01:14:54 Speaker 3: Okay, if for some reason, some gorgeous reason, the show gets picked up by a different network, okay and gets put on the air, Yes, you have to give me this back, and I'll give you a present of even more. 01:15:07 Speaker 2: You have to give me a voice roll on the show. I get to come on, Ryan, you're the producer. This is what's gonna happen. The only way. This the only because this right now reminds me of failure. So although I loved that, I really like that script. I thought we did such a good even the pitch showed to be about wizards. Oh if I told you, I'm gonna tell you the whole thing after this. But if the show gets picked up, is the only way I would need. This is the perfect deal. This is the absolutely and then I'll give you a gift of better of something. You're going to give me a small cameo. Of course Ryan could promise that absolutely put them on the phone. He probably could. Ryan, I have a podcast. Have you done voice of work before? Uh, that's a good question. I don't think I no, I mean on Kimmel, probably I would. 01:15:53 Speaker 3: I like this deal that would be worth way more money than this sixty five dollars thing. 01:15:58 Speaker 2: What will you do with this? For real? Don't line it. I'm gonna I have a shelf of gifts, two shelves of gifts that like that, like the more decorative things, the most expensive gift you've gotten. I don't know. That's a good question. Darcy Carden came on and gave me a bunch of things that she had been given as an actor, like fancy things that I think ended up being Sorry, I think we totaled it and it ended up being like two hundred dollars or something worth of gifts. We're halfway there, but all of hers were given to her for free. Yes, that's the same with it. But this was given like by a person. You know. So I made a mistake, So you I made a mistake. Can we all admit that I made a mistake? I mean emotionally and social expensive gift that's been given emotionally the social price you're paying right now. 01:16:45 Speaker 3: I also think, can I be honest? I never talked about the show before. Now people know it exists. Maybe some will hear and be like, you don't got to see that script? Let you because we want to. We want an animated it's like a Simpsons with wizards kind of. 01:16:57 Speaker 2: That's all I a person. 01:16:58 Speaker 3: It's heaven, and so I wonder if this, Oh my god, Bridgerick, could you imagine if this is the reason why? Because they loved it, but they're not doing animation. I was like, we want something like this. This be unbelievable. It could easily happen. 01:17:15 Speaker 2: The cast that was in our test footage, you'd lose your goddamn mind, Hollywood, Knock knock. So that's the and when the show gets picked up, I need it, and then I put on board because it hasn't got picked up. It makes me sad to look at it. Okay, it's it's coming back to you. We've manifested and then we're going to get you either a voice or we will be getting a small. The executive listening right now is like, I love the idea, but we need a star for the show. You didn't say star, you said. I did say lead role. No, you said that. You said small made small. I said small constantly recur constantly or recurring. He said small role. I think we can make that happen. Small exponentially multiply, and I can write the role I'm writing. And the listener, all of our listeners are screaming, Bridger has got to be a wizard. Oh my god. All right, Well, I like this deal. I think this is a If this gets this show made, Ryan will be so happy. I can't. 01:18:10 Speaker 3: I honestly just feel I felt so bad that this happened, But I think maybe it's happening for a reason. 01:18:14 Speaker 2: I think I feel like Ryan could be a spiritual guy where he feels it too. If the show goes, I take you two out to dinner. At the end of the meal, I out of my bag, I pull the wand I fucking love this. But you're getting more ship to this. All you're getting is his voice over. I take you out. I don't want to go on a week's long vacation, vacation where we are sick of each other. Where are we going? We're going on a mission trip. Oh my god, fucking Utah strikes again. Okay, well, you played the game perfectly. I actually think this is special. Now, this is something special is happening. I really think that's something. Because I haven't talked about the show for I obviously never opened this. Everything came together. We don't have to edit. This has gotta be two hours. How long we've been talking. We've been talking for an hour and twenty three. No way, it feels like six hours. It feels like a lifetime. I okay, tweet you texted and said remembers you said he was such a sweet fella. Wait, who texted Amanda McCall. Oh, I love Amanda McCall. She just she's Amanda you better be listening. She's definitely not listening. We're trying to get listened to. If Debbie's not listening, Aman does not listening. If Amanda is not listening, I feel deeply betrayed. People need to know about Amanda McCall. Amanda funny person, so funny, great writer. Her and I wrote three books together. 01:19:35 Speaker 3: The first one was Grandma's Dead Breaking Bad News of Baby Animals. 01:19:39 Speaker 2: What a great have you ever heard of it? Of course? I think when did you publish this? 01:19:43 Speaker 3: We published this when I was a little little bitty You probably weren't even you probably weren't. 01:19:47 Speaker 2: They not have been born yet, you were born yet. I don't know. 01:19:50 Speaker 3: It was when I was still living in New York, so it was before two thousand and nine, probably two thousand and seven. 01:19:54 Speaker 2: Six, Okay, yeah, I feel like when I was interning a letterman. The book was a pretty recent thing, Okay, in Amanda's life. Yeah, that makes sense. She's great, very best. Okay, we played the game. Is there another thing you do we have to answer a listener question? Sure? This is called I said no emails people right into I said no gifts at gmail dot com. Desperate for answers. Every one of them is desperate, every one of them is pathetic. We have to tell about your listeners. Yeah, Christ, these people are They're all at rock bottom. This has got to be a top twenty show for you, right, this is a top two. The Possum, the one, this episode. There's so much going on in this episode. It's got to be a top twenty. Am I wrong? I hope? I hope people tuned out an hour ago. They're just like, this is grating. I hate this show. I'm longtime listener, unsubscribed. Course, I apologize. I hope the picture is good at least of us. You're great, okay, absolutely excellent picture. We'll have a picture of us holding the gift. Everything. Hair looks great too. Did you purposely make it look good before the picture? I really appreciate you saying that this My hair looks good. I had a couple I was in New York, and I whenever I'm in New York, my hair looks terrible because the weather, the humidity, my hair just turns into a poof. So I feel like I've got gotten you. Trollsides, Thank you Sid. All credit to Sid. That's what you call God now? That's not your barber, that's what you hold God. I pray to sid every night. Deid Okay, he's wrapping it up with a question. God, we have to answer a question. I can't wait. You hate him, but you're gonna do them. We hate that people are so pathetic that they have to reach out. It makes me sick to my stomach, but I have to help. Uh, this says hello Bridger and disrespectful guests. Wow, not off to a good start. My mom never likes anything anyone buys her. She rarely uses it and usually ends up regifting things to me, even things I've bought her. I have to make sure I would also like to use what I buy her in case I receive it later. 01:22:00 Speaker 3: This is the first time we're reading it. I can tell by the way you're scratching your eyes. God, you really put so little effort into the show. Now, I've been mailing it in for the last hundred episodes. I'm ready to check out, of course. 01:22:11 Speaker 4: Uh. 01:22:12 Speaker 2: Gift cards, scarves, jewelry, knickknacks, framed pics of US hair or skin care products, et cetera. It doesn't matter she doesn't use it. What to do, Well, that's up to you. Now, this is this is a good audition for your view role. Yeah, I'm really I'm trying to put it in here, and that's from Mega Squirrel. I make you a squirrel. Probably I would make a good squirrel. Stop you're pathetic, but yeah, a family of ros and the squirrels are eventually become most season long and then the notts going. We've got to protect ourselves for wintering. Winter is coming. I am I am watching thrown Are you just watching? 01:22:49 Speaker 3: For the first time ever? I got COVID for fifteen days. Oh my god, I went through. I got a terrible, terrible I got it for jelling and I'm not over it. I'm so positive. Well give me a kiss I have. I've been negative for probably fourteen days. But I got it for fifteen days and it was It was terrible. 01:23:08 Speaker 2: But I was like, what can I do? 01:23:09 Speaker 3: I tried to write, I could not. So I had never seen Game of Thrones before. I was in Atlantic because I was filming Kevin Hart movie and it was the last day of filming. So I only blew one day and then I was like, I'm gonna watch Game of Thrones, and so I started Game of Thrones and I watched like five episodes a day, and I blasted you the first and now I'm on the season seven. So I live tweeted it because thought would be a funny bit. I think you were joking when you said you were live tweeted. I thought it'd be a funny bit if the show that aired a decade ago or eight years ago. I'm acting like it's happening in real time, and it's been so fun, but now it's like work. 01:23:44 Speaker 2: I gotta like. 01:23:44 Speaker 3: Finish, right, of course, So I'm on the last I'm on the second to last season, last episode. 01:23:48 Speaker 2: Okay, so the last season. Just if you weren't talking, you would see right. I have no longer looking at Twitter. I'm gonna go take a look at some point though, if you've seen the show, it may be funny. But if not, you hate it. I've seen the show, though, Okay, did you like it? I enjoyed it up to a point, up until a point. Uh, most people I think would agree with that opinion. Okay, don't say that I'm loving even season seven. I still think it's great. Okay, Well then, I mean, but you have recently been through a horrible sickness, and you've been watching it very condensed. Yes, I never had to wait. Everything came immediately right. 01:24:19 Speaker 3: Someone told me when that big moment with John Snow happened, and I immediately two seconds later found out what the resolution was. 01:24:25 Speaker 2: They go, we had to wait a year, and you had to wait a long time. Okay, Meg, need's an answer. I can't even remember what magnete. 01:24:32 Speaker 3: She said that her mom wasn't grateful of anything, doesn't like any gift, so what does she do? 01:24:36 Speaker 2: And that you didn't finish it? I stopped you. We did finish it. She just was like, I give my mom all these things, What do I do? Because she just gives it all back to me. The mom is obviously horrible. I mean, well, have you ever given a gift back that you got here? I've never given a wand away? Imagine if that happens. I don't be the most I can. I say this. 01:24:56 Speaker 3: If it happens, immediately have to come back and do another episode of the podcast. 01:25:00 Speaker 2: Course you'll be the first. By the way, we've got to get Ryan on the podcast. Ryan will come Ryan khil excuse me, Ryan will come back? Ryan will Okay, Ryan will be here. I will come back. I'm thinking about Meg right now. Meg and You're great movie. Have you ever seen Sleepers in Seattle? I've never seen Sleepless in Seattle? Can you believe that? Have you ever seen When Harry Metsu's I Love Harry When Harry Mett. It's such a good movie. Ryan had one of the best streaks of films of all time. Carrie Fisher, Oh my god, phenomenal. Yes, in that. She was also in soap Fish. I've never seen, right. You know, she was a writer. She's an excellent writer. She did it all. She's pretty incredible. Was in Star Wars. I know, I think say hello to her, but I never got to. That's incredible. But I was only on tip for like one day. Harrison Ford got to meet Harrison Ford for a second. I saw Harrison Ford recently. I was working at Warner Brothers and saw him and he was slighter than I imagined. I mean, he's like one hundred now. Yeah, he's very old. But he seemed dainty or something that I oh, interesting because he plays all these huge macho guys, right, and he was like kind of a wisp of a man. I don't say that, no, in a good way, kind of like tell me how in any way it could be good by calling someone a wisp. It's in the word wisp of a man. To me, a wisp of a man means could fly away with the gentlest breeze. Bones are so lovely poetic to someone. Absolutely, if Harrison Ford was blown away in a windstorm, we would love it. My god, you want him to get married popping away? I would love nothing more. Mess. 01:26:32 Speaker 3: I'm embarrassed for you, Honestly, I'm embarrassed for Jim Debbie, Jim Debbie. 01:26:36 Speaker 2: And Dave Drew. Poor Meg is sitting here her mother. You gotta talk to her. If she keeps giving you the gifts back, you gotta say, listen, I love you and I want to give you something. Is there any can you give me some more guidance because I'm obviously doing this incorrectly. No one would make you happy? What would make me happy? No? What would make Mom's going to ever? Make this mom happy? I think you got to ask what if you don't want any make her happy? Is torturing her daughter? 01:27:00 Speaker 3: I think she's just got a fun Well, you hate gifts. It's hard to talk to you about this shit. Sorry, but it's like, I think it's a matter of like, what would make you have? What would make your mom happy? What would make That's what I would ask Meg Senior happy? 01:27:11 Speaker 2: What would really like? 01:27:12 Speaker 3: I don't want I don't want to get you a gift to get it back anymore. I want to give you something that you like. If you hate gift giving, is there something else to get you, like a nice meal? 01:27:19 Speaker 2: Or is it a personal problem with me? And how do I rectify? God? Wow, I think that's could be. That's really sad. But yeah, Meg wrote in with a sad situation. It's not not fun to hear mom returning gifts. What you want from my mom is a few tears and you shouldn't have. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all you need. But this lady is deeply ungrateful. And I'm sorry, Meg. You deserve better than look for another mom. No, come on, Bridger, find another mommy, bridgerd No, it's never too late, Bridger, it is too late. She has a mommy. We don't know how old Meg is. You just hate gifts so much you can't you're blinded with rage. The idea is this, talk to your mom, see what you really wants Okay, just see what she really wants and then talk it through and then get back Bridger. Give her your social Okay, so that's five two. Uh. How sensitive are social security numbers? Like? I think that I think that's probably bad. 01:28:17 Speaker 3: If you can, if you know someone's mother's maiden name and a social you could probably do a lot of damage. 01:28:21 Speaker 2: Do you think so? 01:28:21 Speaker 3: I think at this point there are enough I can get your bank account, probably I can get into I can get into a bunch of stuff. 01:28:27 Speaker 2: I think there are enough fireballs at this point that the social security number. 01:28:31 Speaker 3: Then tell everybody your mom's maid name, so everybody your mom's may name, your social and see what happens. 01:28:36 Speaker 2: I will say, my mom's made name. Murdoch. Oh no, it's a good Rupert, Grandpa Rupert. I listen, I'm deeply conservative. No, this is well. Actually it salsa with an H, which Rupert has an H? Salsa? Salsa said, salsa with an H. No Murdoch with an H Chalsa, No Murdoch, but better Murdocks than the Rupert Murdoch. Uh, what are we talking about? Meg? Talk to mommy. That's what it is. That's all that that's communication is so big Tommy. It's so important for everyone to him and uh, hopefully we're not too late. Hopefully they haven't already split up. Yeah, I hope not mother daughter divorce. I don't think that happens as much as you want it to be. I remember there being an ABC TV movie when I was a kid about a kid emancipating himself from his parents. Isn't that what Britney Spears just did. Yeah, it is what she did. She kind of divorced her dad, but that was a different Situationally, did you listen to coming Up while you're while you're playing O Kareina of Time? What were you listening to? Almost? I didn't start listening to music until ninth grade, and I listened to cool bands. Then I bought Weezer's Blue album. Oh my god, that album was huge for me, but I was a little kid on repeat. 01:29:48 Speaker 3: Yeah your three years. No, my first Douchie was near the first. Oh, just near the same area area. Yeah, very I think all springs smashed for some reason. Weird Yankovic of course. 01:29:57 Speaker 2: Where I love. 01:29:58 Speaker 3: Stevie wonder So, like, oh, that's great, Stevie Wondering a lot of folk music. That's what my parents listened to, right, Michael Jackson. 01:30:05 Speaker 2: I had no music. I was really stumbling in the dark. I think it was a Mormon thing to be kind of pushed away. Some of the songs have bad words. That's a good question. You couldn't listen to curses. My dad listened to a lot of country music. Oh yeah, and my mom, I don't remember. I guess you just listened to the radio Beach Boys, who I still love the Beach Boys pre garbage, Okay, when they were you know, one of the Courtney Loves band, the Beach Boys, the Garbage, Oh garbage. You know that's Shirley Manson. Oh, thanks, Courtney love his whole Thanks, that's perfect. Thanks. It's a little education for the listener. This is amazing for someone who didn't know music to I really had to come around. I had to come when I come around on Dookie, there you go fantastic. You know what a real uh gateway drug for me? Was that thing you do? Oh? Well? The con Hanks Home. Yeah, that song in particular is so good? Is Connor that? Oh that's a good question. Is he a little boy in it or something? No? Come on, who's the lead of who's the lead of that. I think Steve songs in it, and the sunglasses is played by I cannot pictures. Great, they're a He's also in a movie where he was like a dead boyfriend, Everett Scott. There you go. What's his name? 01:31:12 Speaker 3: Jonathan Everards? Got Tom Thomas Tom Everts in a movie where he was like a dead boyfriend, like a. 01:31:19 Speaker 2: Dead boyfriend, like a ghost or just am I losing it? Like zombie boyfriend? Or so we're awaiting the answer to this. Yeah, the first thing that comes up is that thing you do. Do you remember the song? I mean, that's that's I can't sing it, but I could do the drum beat. Jim would be so dead Man on Campus? Dead Man on Campus is correct? Dead Man on Campus for me? Could you sing a little bit of it? I can't sing it, I'll get First of all, I can't sing, and second of all we can't legally, you can't, but we could do the drum beat, right. That feels like a legal thing. Yes, and that could have been anything. Yeah, that's great. You're not the best drum beat, one of the best drum beats of all time. Oh my god. I think it was amazing movie, A fun movie, classic movie, that's what got you into music? Yeah, that's real. Yeah, I think so. I mean I think it was like the first song that I was like, oh, this is cool, and then that song is not that far of a jump from Weezer. What are you talking about? I guess like a couple sort of thing. Yeah, that's right. So that then it was just this. 01:32:19 Speaker 3: There's a track on that blue album that I uses the title of a movie that I wrote, or an outline that wrote. Let me like, I talked about songs that one. I was like, oh my god, I wrote this thing. I was like, oh my god, you know what would be perfect for this? And then I thought it was so perfect that I turned into the title. 01:32:33 Speaker 2: Of the film. Let me try to guess. Let's see. 01:32:38 Speaker 3: Only got to outline phase, never sold it, never actually finished writing it. Okay, I'm gonna get I loved it. Maybe I will bring it back in the garage. My name is Jonahs. Wow, you could get it if you really thought about it. It's a great title for a movie. My name is Jonahs to be a terrible title for surf wax America. Terrible is the surf in America or USA. It doesn't matter only a dreams? Yes, okay, great title for a movie. Actually, not a good title for a movie. That's why I didn't guess it seemed too obvious. 01:33:05 Speaker 2: It's great. What does that tell us about the movie? Well, listen, what do you hear about the movie? I love it. It's a great movie. Rivers Squolo is going to reach out. You're gonna be co writing with Rivers? Are you serious? You are going to write only in Dreams the movie? Oh my god? All right? I mean it's it's not about the movie. Is that aout? It end up being h what's the Christopher Nolan movie Tennant? There's the one where they're in the dreams? Oh? Inception inception? Yeah, that's kind of only in dreams. That was the working title for Inception. That's great. We answered the question in a way. Is there another thing? No, we're done. That's it. Let me get more of this action in this I'm just making sure I get as much. I mean, I will comment on your sweatshirt. You're wearing a bad bar. It's beautiful. Yes, are you a bab Bar fan?
