Speaker 7: He came on. He was battling cancer, so he was
Speaker 7: being all Laxaday's school.
Speaker 2: We're like speak, I like energy, energy, energy, fucking come
Speaker 2: on man.
Speaker 8: Yeah I understand that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he talked about fucking your mom or eating pus something.
Speaker 2: When my dad gets nervous. We brought him up. We
Speaker 2: did the cruise, right, I think I told to a
Speaker 2: little bit about we did this insane cruise with all
Speaker 2: of our fans.
Speaker 7: It was It was very fun. It was a lot, though,
Speaker 7: but it was very fun.
Speaker 2: And uh, there was this one girl that kept saying
Speaker 2: that she wanted to fuck Blake and she would wear
Speaker 2: the base of her strap on. She would wear her
Speaker 2: strap on just around around the around the cruise and
Speaker 2: then would constantly be like, Blake, I want to fuck you.
Speaker 2: I will fuck you like penetrate me, penetrate Blake. She
Speaker 2: kept and we don't know what happened behind closed doors.
Speaker 4: Be surprised that that did work. That seems like a
Speaker 4: good strategy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, kind of outside the box. Usually it works all
Speaker 5: the time.
Speaker 9: But yeah, kind of outside the box, inside the ass,
Speaker 9: inside the ass, inside Blake's ass bogs.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he got into some some risk territory. You're dead.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you handled it well.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So we we brought him up on the cruise
Speaker 2: ship and then you know, he gets nervous and then
Speaker 2: he tries to joke and then immediately he started talking
Speaker 2: about fucking my mom, which uh, which is yeah, it hit.
Speaker 2: It works with a crowd, So he went blue. This
Speaker 2: is this is where we get it from. We are
Speaker 2: our father's sons going.
Speaker 9: That's where he talked about sending dick picks or something,
Speaker 9: and I'm like, you never.
Speaker 5: I don't know if he was trying to relate to
Speaker 5: the youth. I don't know. We're going digital, baby.
Speaker 2: He looked out at our forty year old crowd, and
Speaker 2: it's like these kids like to said, dig picks forever young,
Speaker 2: forever young. Yeah, not a lot of dick pics being
Speaker 2: sent over here. You guys never send tickpics, right you
Speaker 2: guys did you? Were you big Dick's pick senders?
Speaker 5: I would have been big Dick pic center.
Speaker 3: I I can't say I had the confidence, nor like
Speaker 3: the proper lighting to send any Dick p Yeah.
Speaker 7: I feel like lighting is a huge part of it.
Speaker 9: I do feel like Blake would have drawn like a
Speaker 9: smiley face on the end of it or something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he would have put a little hat on his guy.
Speaker 2: He would have called his dick his.
Speaker 5: Guy a lot. Yeah, you've got to have fun with
Speaker 5: it here.
Speaker 8: It's just I think I think technology saved me.
Speaker 4: I just I just had a Nokia for where any
Speaker 4: time where I could have sent dick pics.
Speaker 8: The megapixels weren't great.
Speaker 2: It was just four pixels.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then once that clarity got in, I was married.
Speaker 4: There was no reason to send it.
Speaker 3: Bro, it was right there. You're like, hey, have you
Speaker 3: have you seen the newsnake game? Have you seen the
Speaker 3: news game?
Speaker 8: Let's play mine sweeper?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what would what would your wives, all all of us,
Speaker 2: what would your wives do if you, out of the blue,
Speaker 2: right now just sent a Dick pic?
Speaker 5: Would that go over at all?
Speaker 8: I should do it, you know what I'm going to
Speaker 8: That's a good idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, let's let's really surprise everyone under the table
Speaker 2: right now, under the I.
Speaker 5: Think the first question would be like, was this meant
Speaker 5: for me?
Speaker 3: It might get you into some trouble, Yeah, that would absolutely.
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. It's like, this is out, this
Speaker 5: is out of normal.
Speaker 8: Moves.
Speaker 5: It's like, what is this for durs?
Speaker 2: No, but but really tiny on the shaft you have
Speaker 2: to write four and then your wife's name.
Speaker 7: So so I'm like, zoom in, honey, zoom in.
Speaker 8: Yes with the date on it, so you know what
Speaker 8: happened to call?
Speaker 5: That's for you, baby, zoom in good call.
Speaker 3: The last thing you want to say when you send
Speaker 3: a dick pic is zoom in.
Speaker 8: To get the fool throttle.
Speaker 5: You're gonna want to zoom.
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to hit this tension zoom. Danny's like,
Speaker 2: what did I sign up for?

Speaker 8: Idea here. I was like, this is fantastic.
Speaker 4: I would I want to do it when I I
Speaker 4: can see my wife so I can see the look
Speaker 4: on her face and to make sure that my daughter
Speaker 4: is not using her phone when I.
Speaker 2: Send it's not connected to the iPad.
Speaker 7: When whether you're trying to play roeblocks or whatever.
Speaker 5: Why don't try.
Speaker 9: If I sent it, the only thing I would get
Speaker 9: back would be like, just don't forget to pick up
Speaker 9: the kids at camp.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it would just it'd be like, no, just get
Speaker 5: to your God, just pick up the.
Speaker 2: Greek yogurt from the store.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, are you in the aisle right now, Danny.
Speaker 9: We're about to go to Catalina. Have you ever been

Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 4: I have been to Catalina. Yep, I've been there. Catalina
Speaker 4: is fantastic. Adam, I was spying and listening. You are
Speaker 4: you're you're commanding the ship that's going over there?
Speaker 8: Yes, Sam, oh are you scared about that?
Speaker 5: I mean, it's his boat. It's his boat.
Speaker 7: Would you trust me to command a ship with your life?
Speaker 8: I think so? I think I think so. It's a
Speaker 8: straight shot. It should be pretty easy.
Speaker 5: It's pretty easy.
Speaker 7: You kind of just set it in the computer and
Speaker 7: get it right.
Speaker 2: No, that is not true. You don't set it and
Speaker 2: forget it. You have to be vigilant.
Speaker 5: Adam's gonna be doing a lot of just feeling the wind.
Speaker 7: Yeah, don't be oversteering the motherfucker the whole time.
Speaker 5: Like, oh, I'm not oversteering.
Speaker 2: There is a there is an auto pilot that that
Speaker 2: that I will set it to. But you don't set
Speaker 2: it and forget it. You said it, and you sit
Speaker 2: there and you watch. Remember there could be there could
Speaker 2: be ships.
Speaker 4: You know, you follow the dolphins, right, Isn't that what
Speaker 4: you do to get to Catalina?
Speaker 8: You just follow the dolphins the pods that are out there.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, yeah, that's where they go to.
Speaker 5: Really fuck dude, there.
Speaker 2: Was I remember one time we were coming back and
Speaker 2: it was a it was like really foggy and you
Speaker 2: couldn't see and I didn't not I don't know how
Speaker 2: to really work my radar that well, so I'm just
Speaker 2: sort of going slow as ship and which is good.
Speaker 2: And then we came through a clearing and the fog
Speaker 2: had lifted just in this one like spot about the
Speaker 2: size of a football field, and there were this was
Speaker 2: a dolphin breeding ground or something. There was a thousand
Speaker 2: dolphins just it's just on the water, splishing and splashing.
Speaker 2: It was sick, dude. Yeah, so we might see cool
Speaker 2: stuff like that, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: I mean, I hate to say it. I think dolphins
Speaker 7: are really cool.
Speaker 5: Man. That's a cool animal, right there.
Speaker 2: You hate to say that.
Speaker 8: It's a controversial opinion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and is that it? You're just gonna let
Speaker 5: that lie there.
Speaker 3: It's not the most manly badass that animal to like,
Speaker 3: you know, dolphins are pretty damn cool.
Speaker 5: Dude, I'm on board.
Speaker 9: I do wonder if there is like a hardcore dolphin
Speaker 9: out there, you know what I mean, with like one
Speaker 9: eye that just.
Speaker 5: Fuck up a shark.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like, why do dolphins have such like a sweet
Speaker 9: reputation over sharks.
Speaker 2: Well they don't. They're rapists. And we do know this,
Speaker 2: we all know this that they are rapists. Reputation, Well, yes,
Speaker 2: they have a reputation. Yeah, they are trying to rewrite
Speaker 2: their history for sure. Because if if a female is
Speaker 2: menstruating and they get in the water and.
Speaker 7: They human woman, a human, a human woman.
Speaker 2: And they get in the water, they smell the blood
Speaker 2: and then they get all horned up, these dolphins and
Speaker 2: they will fuck so science they're not just nice dudes.
Speaker 8: So well, that sounds like that's you, Adam as well.
Speaker 8: You could have just described you.
Speaker 9: I feel like, you know, I've heard several seasons together.
Speaker 2: You've heard you've heard the tails.
Speaker 9: I do think on the call sheet at Righteous Gemstones
Speaker 9: at the top, it would be like, if you're menstruating,
Speaker 9: don't come to set, Adam't Adam will be there today.
Speaker 7: Away from stay away from Adam's trailer, Like.
Speaker 5: It's that time. This thing is coming out.
Speaker 2: The wardrobe, girls are like, I can't deliver. I cannot deliver.
Speaker 2: Adam's throwing at the trail and you take them his
Speaker 2: pants whatever, insane eight thousand dollars poncho Adam has to
Speaker 2: wear today or.
Speaker 8: Somebody else has to deliver it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I was, uh, you know, I was.
Speaker 5: I was preparing for this interview team.
Speaker 8: I don't believe that.
Speaker 5: I don't either.
Speaker 2: I've seen you on set. I know you don't prepare.
Speaker 2: And I was looking at some old photos of us
Speaker 2: shooting Gemstones and the wardrobes and the things that that
Speaker 2: you had us wear, and you really had us in
Speaker 2: some funny costume comedy. And thank you for that because
Speaker 2: because you know it gets it makes it a lot
Speaker 2: easier when they're gigging from the beginning.
Speaker 8: One hundred percent.
Speaker 4: Well, we always I've always felt that, like in a
Speaker 4: good comedy show, you should create characters that people can
Speaker 4: dress up as for Halloween.
Speaker 8: Yes, you got to push it, you, that was that
Speaker 8: was the thought process.
Speaker 4: You gotta you have to be potential Halloween costumes with
Speaker 4: every episode.
Speaker 5: Right dude. That is cute.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like there were a lot of
Speaker 2: gemstones there for a while we're out and about. I
Speaker 2: love it. I love to see it. What would you say,
Speaker 2: is your number one out of all of your characters,
Speaker 2: because you have some iconic, iconic characters, is the number
Speaker 2: one Halloween?
Speaker 5: Probably Kenny Powers?
Speaker 2: Right? Is that number one?
Speaker 8: Kenny Powers?
Speaker 4: You get a lot, You still get a lot, But
Speaker 4: I think the effort that people put into dressing up
Speaker 4: like Kenny Powers has gotten less and less. Now it
Speaker 4: would just be somebody with just like a fucking rug
Speaker 4: on their heads, just.
Speaker 9: Like, dude, this is a mullet and wrap round shades
Speaker 9: and then like a baseball jersey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, still in your work uniform.
Speaker 2: Also, like mullets are kind of back, so it's just
Speaker 2: like a guy now, a guy who's just like say back,
Speaker 2: they're back.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I feel like they're prominent for the first time. Yeah, okay, sure.
Speaker 9: I think they've made like mainstream prominence for the first time.
Speaker 5: They're actually cool.
Speaker 8: Everything comes back around.
Speaker 9: This to say, if a rat if people start wearing
Speaker 9: rat tails, right, I would never say those are back
Speaker 9: because they were never like prominent, prominent popcorn.
Speaker 3: Like of course, we've never had a like, we've never
Speaker 3: had a president with a rat tail.
Speaker 5: Is what you're saying at older than you, and I
Speaker 5: gotta disagree. There was thank you.
Speaker 8: Rocking those rattails and taking very seriously.
Speaker 2: Thank you Danny buy and large, and also we we
Speaker 2: differ with there's a lot when it comes to this
Speaker 2: because we were middle You know, dors.
Speaker 5: Is comes from a country club culture and they just didn't.
Speaker 2: He was popping collars. He had a collared he wore
Speaker 2: a collared shirt and he popped calls.
Speaker 9: We both blocked the sun off the neck, the mullet
Speaker 9: and the pop collar. It's one and the same.
Speaker 8: Now it does the same.
Speaker 5: We're outside, some of us are working, some of us
Speaker 5: are golfing. It's just different.
Speaker 4: I learned something just a few months ago that took
Speaker 4: me years to figure out. But a lot of times
Speaker 4: if a celebrity goes in public, what you do is
Speaker 4: you put a hat on to disguise yourself. And I
Speaker 4: was at jazz Fest and I was getting popped everywhere
Speaker 4: I went like, I got my hat on, I got everything.
Speaker 4: And then I looked in the mirror and realized the
Speaker 4: first time, like when I put the hat on, I
Speaker 4: look more like the character like people think. And I
Speaker 4: literally just took it away and then no one recognized.
Speaker 8: Was tipping people off.
Speaker 5: You gotta be careful with that.
Speaker 7: That is so funny.
Speaker 9: I thought about the same thing of the day like before,
Speaker 9: Like you're you're an actor and you're like really getting
Speaker 9: noticed and recognized places. You think other actors are wearing
Speaker 9: sunglasses so that they're not recognized, like indoors, right, But
Speaker 9: now I'm realizing actors wear sunglasses indoors so they can
Speaker 9: look around and not make eye contact with people, because
Speaker 9: as soon as you make eye contact with somebody, it
Speaker 9: invites them to go hey. Like, but if you can
Speaker 9: just look around, scan a room and not make eye contact.
Speaker 5: With anybody, people are a little less. They're like not.
Speaker 8: Maybe that guy's blind. I don't know if that's who.
Speaker 7: One thing about Jersey is he hates He hates the
Speaker 7: fans and.
Speaker 2: He does not want them to come over.
Speaker 7: He doesn't want them to come over, doesn't want them
Speaker 7: to say Hi.
Speaker 5: Absolutely listen to me. I'll go on the record.
Speaker 9: Fans, you've all had a pretty good experience with me.
Speaker 5: I said, Hi, I've been nice, I've been cool.
Speaker 6: Do I like it?
Speaker 9: That's not what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: Two different That's true.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 5: That's true, you've done.
Speaker 2: Do you have any, because we've had some fans, uh
Speaker 2: that have had some like pretty crazy tattoos of us
Speaker 2: on different parts of their bodies. Have you had any,
Speaker 2: you know, inner thigh, you.
Speaker 5: Know, characters of yourself?
Speaker 8: I definitely have had.
Speaker 4: I've seen I saw I'm tattooed on a man's ass
Speaker 4: in North Carolina.
Speaker 8: I was at a brewery and he showed it to
Speaker 8: me right on the left cheek.
Speaker 4: Yep, Okay, I've seen my I've seen an image of
Speaker 4: Kenny on a calf before, not a not a young cow,
Speaker 4: but on a man's cat.
Speaker 3: Ye.
Speaker 5: Come look at my farm, dude. That kind of lets
Speaker 5: me down.
Speaker 2: I was picturing a cow, and now I'm yeah, we
Speaker 2: were all pretty confused there for a second. Takes are clarified.
Speaker 5: That's the first place our mind goes livestock. Actually, that
Speaker 5: would be I mean, is.
Speaker 2: There like some weirdo farmer tattoo artists that's just like
Speaker 2: tat it up their cows just to just to practice, well.
Speaker 3: They practice on dead pigs. They do it on dead pigs.
Speaker 3: That's how you learn how to tack.
Speaker 8: Wow, that's a good But that's a good place to practice.
Speaker 5: No, it's not.
Speaker 9: A new practice is on dead pigs.
Speaker 8: To them and then you serve them up for lunch.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. You have the most badass hot dog
Speaker 5: out of that. Dude.
Speaker 9: The only person I know who's done, who's become or
Speaker 9: thought about becoming a tattoo artist. They just did it
Speaker 9: on their own legs, like above the shorts.
Speaker 3: If they had a friend in the butcher business, they
Speaker 3: would know. You can buy a pig and you can
Speaker 3: tattoo dead pigskin.
Speaker 2: Now, you used to work in a butchery, blake, So
Speaker 2: is this firsthand knowledge you had, Like, No, these guys
Speaker 2: are sucking the pigs.
Speaker 5: Oh, adam, adam, thank you, adam, thank you.
Speaker 2: You're selling these whole dead pigs.

Speaker 5: It could be you can fuck them, you can tattoo them,
Speaker 5: you can do.
Speaker 2: What you want.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a loo out.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of things you could do with a
Speaker 3: whole dead pig besides fuck the thing.
Speaker 5: Dude.
Speaker 2: By the way, there's not a lot of things.
Speaker 5: You can eat them.
Speaker 2: You can cook them and eat them.
Speaker 5: You can eat them, and you can.
Speaker 3: Tattoo them them.
Speaker 5: You know what else?
Speaker 7: You can use them as Halloween decorations.
Speaker 3: My uncle used to put pig heads outside of his
Speaker 3: house during Halloween.
Speaker 7: He was a butcher and grow.
Speaker 8: Up where.
Speaker 5: With Blake's uncle we used to sell.
Speaker 7: Yeah those are cool uncles, right, Uh yeah.

Speaker 3: and being like, Wow, there's people out here doing this and.
Speaker 9: That you guys made it for nothing and you just
Speaker 9: fucking did it and you did your comedy.
Speaker 2: We had writing sessions every Wednesday, I think, and we
Speaker 2: would write something on Wednesday and then we'd try to
Speaker 2: shoot it that weekend. And that's when we were first
Speaker 2: starting out, and it was our writing session Wednesday. And

Speaker 2: were fucking floored and it you know, you didn't make
Speaker 2: it for a lot of money, and it felt fresh
Speaker 2: and it felt original.
Speaker 5: It's a very specific voice.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and it also made it And I think
Speaker 2: i've I've told you before if you haven't seen Footpast Way,
Speaker 2: people at home watch it to watch it now. It's
Speaker 2: a true banger. And we watched it and it it
Speaker 2: hit so close to home for us in a way
Speaker 2: that we were like, oh, we can make comedies ourselves,
Speaker 2: in the way that it felt like you guys felt
Speaker 2: like the same kind of friend group that we were
Speaker 2: Unlike like Will Ferrell, who we love and idolized, but
Speaker 2: he does these big characters and we didn't even though
Speaker 2: it's obviously a character that you're doing, but his characters
Speaker 2: are so like wacky and SNL type characters that we
Speaker 2: were like, oh, we can't do that, But this this
Speaker 2: feels something like we could.
Speaker 7: We could do something in this world. And that's awesome.
Speaker 4: That's so cool that you guys found it and you
Speaker 4: liked I mean, you know, we were taking a complete
Speaker 4: obvious risk like doing it. We didn't have any idea
Speaker 4: if it would work or not. We had just been
Speaker 4: out in LA for enough time that it was you know,
Speaker 4: we wanted to just do something, and you know, we
Speaker 4: went to South North Johina and made this thing. And
Speaker 4: you know, it's funny because at that time, like you
Speaker 4: were saying, how it wasn't like will we were you know,
Speaker 4: even when we made that, we were imagining just making
Speaker 4: some dark, strange, fucked up comedy. And I think even
Speaker 4: though it got passed around town, I don't think the
Speaker 4: distributors didn't really have any idea what to do with it.
Speaker 4: They started testing the movie and they would get the
Speaker 4: audience to come in based on like, if you like Dodgeball,
Speaker 4: you'll like this. And I like Dodgeball, but I don't
Speaker 4: necessarily know if you like Dodgeball you will like the.
Speaker 5: Right checking off different boxes.
Speaker 4: But I think I protested at like maybe like a
Speaker 4: twenty six or something like he completely like the audience. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 4: the audience in Burbank was not sure what to do
Speaker 4: with it, and because of that, it sat.
Speaker 8: Around for several years.
Speaker 4: They waited until like Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder came
Speaker 4: out before they released it for real.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, I know, I think like it was
Speaker 3: almost like a we felt like we were like on
Speaker 3: the inside because like you know, when you started to
Speaker 3: get like more major success and like can Powers appears
Speaker 3: and he's bounding down and people are like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: It's like, no, bro, we've been on this train, on
Speaker 3: this train, we knew this was gonna be good.
Speaker 5: Yeah it was. It was you like Foo Fighters. You
Speaker 5: should check out this span Nirvana. Yeah, a pretty deep cut.
Speaker 2: He heard of it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was awesome.
Speaker 7: But I think even speaking to what Adam was saying about,
Speaker 7: like the.
Speaker 3: Way you your characters, you know, even though they are
Speaker 3: in some ways larger to life, they are also so
Speaker 3: real and so flawed, and like the comedy doesn't just
Speaker 3: come from like these you know, really gigantic swings. It
Speaker 3: comes from like the oh shit, like I have a
Speaker 3: friend just like that, or like you know, it's just
Speaker 3: like the the the humanism of it, if that's a word.
Speaker 7: I have a real piece of shit friend, like Kenny Powers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I loved so much about Specifically Kenny
Speaker 2: is like he was such a piece of shit and
Speaker 2: even and you're like, oh, here's a moment he's going
Speaker 2: to redeem himself and then he just didn't.
Speaker 5: I mean and if we can, can we set uh?
Speaker 3: You know, we know you as an actor a director,
Speaker 3: but now you have entered a whole new realm of
Speaker 3: of smartness.
Speaker 7: We can now call you an author.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to actually call me a New York
Speaker 4: Times best.
Speaker 2: Selling suck our dicks R. L Stein.
Speaker 3: Danny McBride has released a new book that's wild.
Speaker 5: Congratulations.
Speaker 7: Yes, that is fucking cool, dude.
Speaker 3: But I think even in you know this, this book
Speaker 3: is a collection of you know, like tales, short stories
Speaker 3: like anthology got this, yeah, And even in reading them,
Speaker 3: all those words together, all those characters that you you
Speaker 3: put on the screen, like when you read these stories,
Speaker 3: those characters are in this book as well, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. It really comes to life and every
Speaker 2: one of them, every one of the short stories that
Speaker 2: you're like, is this. Do you have any plans on
Speaker 2: making this into an anthology series.
Speaker 7: Or because you could see this on HBO.
Speaker 3: And gentle Thrilling Tales of Modern Men. Let's name the
Speaker 3: book for those who are listening.
Speaker 2: Thrilling Tales of Modern Men. Yeah, yea, for those that
Speaker 2: are listening, And any plans for that or not?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't. I don't as of now, I didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't when I wrote it, and I didn't have
Speaker 4: any specific plans, Like I wanted the book to feel
Speaker 4: exactly how you all are describing it, where if there
Speaker 4: was a fan of mine who've watched any of the
Speaker 4: shows I've made, that they could pick this up and
Speaker 4: it would feel like it was an extension of that stuff,
Speaker 4: that it was those sort of characters, that sort of comedy,
Speaker 4: that sort of you know, that kind of genre bending,
Speaker 4: of like being silly and then trying to find some
Speaker 4: kind of pathos or some kind of like weird or
Speaker 4: deeper energy to it that you would find that in
Speaker 4: a just a different format. And so I think in
Speaker 4: order to do it, I did have to not think
Speaker 4: of these things as like, oh, I'm going to make
Speaker 4: this into a movie or this and TV show. I
Speaker 4: really just wanted to try to make them survive as
Speaker 4: this now since it's done.
Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, it's.
Speaker 4: Like Adam, you came in and read the audiobook that
Speaker 4: we did the audiobook for it, which.
Speaker 8: Was a blast.
Speaker 4: I mean that was Sadam came in and crushed and
Speaker 4: Eric Andre and Edie Patterson Goodman, a bunch.
Speaker 5: Of people the courting ast is crazy.
Speaker 4: It was awesome to uh, to hear the stories read
Speaker 4: and performed. It did for the after for the first time,
Speaker 4: it was like, maybe we should do something with this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Adam, which one did you do? Fun Run?
Speaker 5: I believe I did fun Run. Oh that's the one
Speaker 5: I read Fun Run?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's oh man, it's it's it's
Speaker 3: really cool, like and even in like, you know, because
Speaker 3: I've read some pages and then I've been listening to
Speaker 3: the Auto audio book too, because how could you not
Speaker 3: The cast is amazing and all that, but like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it truly was the I like to listen
Speaker 2: to audio books, and actually you got me into that
Speaker 2: quite a bit on this set of Gemstones, because sometimes
Speaker 2: you'd be driving in it's like an hour drive.
Speaker 7: Some some morning standy big brother.
Speaker 2: He totally and he's like, maybe listen to an audio book.
Speaker 4: I was like, stop listening to this pop music, dude, Yeah,
Speaker 4: educate yourself.
Speaker 5: You have to get smarter.
Speaker 2: Yes, you've been listening to too much, Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 3: You're stumbling at table reads like it's not good.
Speaker 5: Dude, let me help you.
Speaker 2: Luckily we didn't have table Reads Uh, we didn't.
Speaker 7: Do that ship, so thank How do you say this work?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I would listen to a lot on the
Speaker 2: way in, but this was It's so fun because every
Speaker 2: every story there's a new someone new is narrating it.
Speaker 2: And I mean, it's fucking Stergel Simpson. I think is
Speaker 2: in here?
Speaker 7: Shay Wigham?
Speaker 5: Is he in here?
Speaker 9: Is?
Speaker 2: Did I hear Shay's voice?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is there.
Speaker 2: There's some stunners eighties great. Uh And then John is
Speaker 2: like obviously I was. I was driving back. I went
Speaker 2: to uh the Colorado River this past weekend with with
Speaker 2: my friend.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: My friend has a house up there, and we took
Speaker 2: our family up there. And on the way back, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, I should listen to the audiobook And
Speaker 2: my son is watching on the on the back in
Speaker 2: the back seat, he's watching Monsters Inc. Which is John
Speaker 2: Goodman's voice. And then I'm listening to the robo Robocare.
Speaker 2: Is that the name of the Robocare? Yeah, Robocare. I'm
Speaker 2: listening to Robocare And it was just dueling. John Goodman's
Speaker 2: in my car, just going toe to toe.
Speaker 8: Heure Monsters Inc.
Speaker 5: Probably yeah, yeah. He goes off on Michael Chowski.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, it's really cool, especially like Right Out the Gate,
Speaker 3: because you are in the audiobook and we're going to
Speaker 3: reference that because we don't rea that much.
Speaker 5: But like I was like, oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 3: Right out the Gate, Right Out the Gate, the the
Speaker 3: Illusionist one. It's just like when you are reading it,
Speaker 3: it's like I felt like almost I was hearkening back
Speaker 3: to like when I would listen into like Adam Sandler's
Speaker 3: like they're all gonna laugh at you because they almost
Speaker 3: it almost it's so visual, it becomes so real in
Speaker 3: your mind and you're you're laughing along with it, and
Speaker 3: it's just like, I don't know, it just felt like
Speaker 3: it really unlocked, like this new thing to me.
Speaker 5: Like reading Danny, Thank You.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start getting into books, says.
Speaker 2: Well, he's gonna he's gonna dust stuff off those Goosebumps
Speaker 2: books that he has on the shelves.
Speaker 3: Hey, I already took urs recommendation. I read The Western Game.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're familiar. It's a ya novel.
Speaker 3: It's pretty good, man, it's wonderful.
Speaker 4: That was that's a big one too, probably a lot
Speaker 4: of big words in it.
Speaker 8: That's good.
Speaker 5: Wow, hearkening was the big word. And that's no that
Speaker 5: circled right here. I knew I was gonna drop that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's your word of the day.
Speaker 3: What were your kind of like influences growing up, like
Speaker 3: books that you enjoyed as like a youth or even
Speaker 3: like influence dude, would you say, you.
Speaker 4: Know, when I was a kid, I really liked Stephen King,
Speaker 4: I would I was like Clyde Bark, I was really
Speaker 4: into horror when I was a kid.
Speaker 8: I felt like that, you know, you.
Speaker 4: Would get assign things to read at school and I
Speaker 4: just felt like reading was boring, but those horror stories
Speaker 4: would just keep me wanting.
Speaker 8: To find out what happened.
Speaker 4: And I just liked horror as a genre, so that
Speaker 4: was like an easy way in for me.
Speaker 8: And but it's funny.
Speaker 4: It's like it's reading something that I'll constantly come back to.
Speaker 4: Like There'll be times where I'm very prolific and reading
Speaker 4: a ton, and then there's other times where, like a
Speaker 4: year goes by and I've read like one thing, but
Speaker 4: I try to just keep up with it. And every
Speaker 4: time I am in the middle of like you know,
Speaker 4: being on a binge or just reading one book after
Speaker 4: the next, I.
Speaker 8: Always tend to be happier, Like it always feels.
Speaker 4: Like I'm not as antsy, I'm not as out. There's
Speaker 4: something cool about being able to get lost in the story,
Speaker 4: and I think that was happening for me enough that
Speaker 4: I was like, this is an art form that I
Speaker 4: would like to be able to crack into, and even
Speaker 4: like what you guys said, it's like to appeal to
Speaker 4: people who maybe not normally would pick up a book
Speaker 4: and do this, and felt like that was also part
Speaker 4: of what could be fun about this. And you know,
Speaker 4: whether it's the audiobook or the written book, I think
Speaker 4: all of it just to find a different art form,
Speaker 4: a way to kind of convey your comedy or tell
Speaker 4: a story that you know, that's what was fun about
Speaker 4: doing it is there were zero gatekeepers with it, you know.
Speaker 8: I remember I.
Speaker 4: Was so used to it with us working with HBO,
Speaker 4: and not that HBO is bad with notes, but just
Speaker 4: anyone who's investing money and what you're doing has thoughts
Speaker 4: on what your choices are, you know, and it just
Speaker 4: becomes a part of creating where you're constantly like.
Speaker 8: I love this, what are they going to hate about it?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 4: You're constantly are ready to have someone you know tell
Speaker 4: you to change the parts you like the most. And
Speaker 4: with this I realized that that does not exist, like
Speaker 4: they'll give you suggests, but ultimately your name's on it.
Speaker 8: You just do whatever you want to do at the
Speaker 8: end of the day. And that was cool.
Speaker 4: I was like, that's you know, especially for comedy, to
Speaker 4: know at the end of the day that it's just
Speaker 4: you and you can tell anyone to fuck off at
Speaker 4: the end of the day is great power.
Speaker 2: And you did that a lot with the people at
Speaker 2: the Penguin Yeah, fuck off.
Speaker 3: Look, because they're the people were working on books, their nerds.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could. You could beat their.
Speaker 4: Ass whenever they didn't like stuff. I got real internal.
Speaker 4: I was like, oh god, no, no.
Speaker 2: And they read a lot of books, funking that a
Speaker 2: lot actually, because I uh, listen to the one that
Speaker 2: Gillis Shane read, The hair one Institute of Men, Institute
Speaker 2: of Men, Yes, and that one was such a trip
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, you couldn't have or it would
Speaker 2: have been very difficult in time consuming and costly to
Speaker 2: shoot that if it were a if it were filmed,
Speaker 2: and and I'm like, it's so cool that you can
Speaker 2: read it and you could just let your imagination fly
Speaker 2: and and you know, you can create something in your
Speaker 2: in your head and imagination without having to see it.
Speaker 2: And and it made me go, man, I gotta I
Speaker 2: gotta read more. But Danny, truly, Danny truly, you're such
Speaker 2: an inspiration for me. You're the best boss I've ever had.
Speaker 2: And I've I'm not I'm not sucking anything. I'm not
Speaker 2: sucking anything. I'm not sucking anything. It's being a nice person,
Speaker 2: isn't sucking comments. No, I'm not sucking.
Speaker 5: As men, we can compliment each other, compliment each other.
Speaker 2: You don't need to, you don't need to get uncomfortable
Speaker 2: because I'm complimenting. But and I mean, you're the best
Speaker 2: boss I ever had. And we were our own bosses,
Speaker 2: and you were much better than we were. But it
Speaker 2: was such an inspiration because he would come in just
Speaker 2: set in the morning and it's like five six o'clock
Speaker 2: in the morning, and he would sometimes be reading a book.
Speaker 2: He'd be talking about a book he just read, or
Speaker 2: he'd be like passing a book to someone that was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: here's this book we talked about, you know, read this.
Speaker 5: He gave me Clifford.
Speaker 9: This whole book revelation thing is so sad, dude, Yeah,
Speaker 9: it really is.
Speaker 5: I read a book. It changed everything.
Speaker 9: I used to see you with books and I thought
Speaker 9: those are books.
Speaker 5: However, you're not.
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, You're not wrong, it is said. But
Speaker 2: this goes for all of us, because I know the
Speaker 2: three of us, we're not reading books.
Speaker 9: Danny, I'm on this. I was just gonna say I'm
Speaker 9: on the same track as you as far as like school.
Speaker 9: As a kid, they were like, we need to read this,
Speaker 9: and I was like, I'll read Stephen King or I'm
Speaker 9: not going to do it, and the teachers were like,
Speaker 9: Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: Fine.
Speaker 9: Now, I don't know how much of the Stephen King
Speaker 9: I absorbed, but I think that you might be thrilled
Speaker 9: to hear this is the kind of thing that like
Speaker 9: a kid who was you will be reading.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 9: That's what I hope they're gonna tell a teacher I'm
Speaker 9: not reading around the world in eighty days or whatever
Speaker 9: the fuck it is.
Speaker 5: I'll read this, and they'll go, you know what, whatever
Speaker 5: it takes.
Speaker 9: And then when they grow up and they're in their forties,
Speaker 9: they won't be talking about books.
Speaker 7: Dude, Well, what's you know.
Speaker 3: What's genius about it being a collection of like short
Speaker 3: stories is as a super dumb bro like, I look
Speaker 3: at that and I go, oh shit, this is a
Speaker 3: there's a big one.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I won't do that. There's a
Speaker 5: lot of pigs in there, Dude. You can you can
Speaker 5: just chip off one short story. It's just that. Man,
Speaker 5: that's it.
Speaker 8: Easy in any order you want. You don't even have
Speaker 8: to read them in order.
Speaker 3: Wild man, dude, it's it's it's a brilliant move by you.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 5: I think you really hooked the dumb guys on this one.
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 2: So beyond beyond like your inspirations as far as books
Speaker 2: and stuff go, what do you have inspiration? Because I
Speaker 2: know you didn't come at comedy in the way that
Speaker 2: we did, where we were like, we're comedians, this is
Speaker 2: kind of what we want to do, and we want
Speaker 2: to be in the comedy lane. You sort of came
Speaker 2: at it as you wanted to be a director first.
Speaker 2: And did you want to be a director of comedy
Speaker 2: or did you want to do horror or did you
Speaker 2: kind of always know you want to do do comedy?
Speaker 5: You know, It's funny because when I was I went
Speaker 5: to film school.
Speaker 4: That's where I met Jody Hill and David Green and
Speaker 4: John Caturing, all these guys that I work with now.
Speaker 2: J John John wrote for us on Workaholics.
Speaker 8: First he did.
Speaker 4: He came back singing y'all's praises too. Yeah, we had
Speaker 4: a we had a like treat him better after.
Speaker 8: He came back.
Speaker 4: They met me racing go carts in the fucking warehouse.
Speaker 4: We gotta we gotta get go carts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of non working doing at
Speaker 2: our You guys might have worked a little more. We're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: should we play three hours of ping pong instead of
Speaker 2: finishing this?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: But we we never You know what's funny is that
Speaker 4: I never really looked at that stories like just in
Speaker 4: terms of like genre of like it's horror, is it comedy?
Speaker 4: We were just wanting to tell stories and make shit
Speaker 4: that we hadn't seen before.
Speaker 8: And then I think.
Speaker 4: Because we like what bonds a lot of us, you know,
Speaker 4: is that you know, we joke around a lot and
Speaker 4: we make each other laugh.
Speaker 8: And I think that that inevitably.
Speaker 4: Just like got into the stuff we do together because
Speaker 4: we're constantly just trying to make each other laugh. Probably
Speaker 4: not indifferent from how you guys work, but we were
Speaker 4: always approaching.
Speaker 8: Them, even the dumbest ones, as if it was a drama.
Speaker 4: You know, like we're approaching foot this way, We're approaching
Speaker 4: it like this is a serious you know.
Speaker 5: This is this guy right, there's a taxi driver.
Speaker 8: Not as important to this guy is what's going on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it felt like once we started doing that,
Speaker 4: it made all of the shit funnier because it was like, oh,
Speaker 4: if this the tone of this is like trying to
Speaker 4: take this guy's like stupid stuff that's happening in karate
Speaker 4: school like this seriously, you know that it's like his
Speaker 4: whole life is falling apart. It just made the stakes
Speaker 4: of it really funny us. And so then we just
Speaker 4: kind of started you know, that was we kind of
Speaker 4: were learning it as we went along. That that was
Speaker 4: our tone was just to sort of take the absurd
Speaker 4: and make it completely serious, play it straight, and and
Speaker 4: you could make you could have i don't know, some
Speaker 4: pretty strange moments by doing it that way.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's what that's what keeps I think all
Speaker 3: of us as your audience members like super engaged, like
Speaker 3: even in the book, like all the stories, the Steaks
Speaker 3: are fucking high, dude, and but they they do have
Speaker 3: those those those moments that that's what makes you laugh.
Speaker 5: It's almost a nervous laughter, like what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Like how is that his response to such a serious situation.
Speaker 3: That's like, I don't know, I think that's what you've
Speaker 3: really really mastered.
Speaker 5: Man, I commend you, Oh thank you.
Speaker 9: Do you think the uh, the comedy boom of the
Speaker 9: two thousands kind of steered you?
Speaker 4: You know, it felt like, you know, I remember when
Speaker 4: we were shooting the foot this way. It was the
Speaker 4: same with like we saw wedding crashers. I think while
Speaker 4: we were shooting, you know, and I remember seeing like, oh,
Speaker 4: this is working. That's amazing that, like people are going
Speaker 4: to see our rated comedies again, because you know, the
Speaker 4: eighties obviously they had lots of R rated comedy. And
Speaker 4: then going to film school in the nineties, I remember
Speaker 4: us like looking to each other saying like, man, they
Speaker 4: just don't really make comedies for adults anymore, like everything
Speaker 4: is really like young based, and so.
Speaker 8: I think and that was for a while.
Speaker 4: So I think once we got there and it was
Speaker 4: seeing that like, oh, this stuff is actually working.
Speaker 8: It's like rated our stuff.
Speaker 4: I think we were just really grateful that we were
Speaker 4: coming out with something that was in that same genre.
Speaker 4: And then of course, like you guys know, that time
Speaker 4: period in Hollywood was so much fun. I mean it
Speaker 4: was the idea of like you're going you know, there's
Speaker 4: all these different camps of people doing comedy and I
Speaker 4: remember going to like the bar at premiere and it
Speaker 4: was just like Will Ferrell's there with a fucking cowboy
Speaker 4: hat on it all.
Speaker 8: I mean, it was it was awesome. It was kind
Speaker 8: of what you had.
Speaker 4: Hoped Hollywood was going to be when you were a kid,
Speaker 4: and it was like several years of it just it
Speaker 4: was just legitimately fun and it was fun to meet
Speaker 4: all of you guys and all these different characters that
Speaker 4: all were doing their own stuff. And yeah, it was
Speaker 4: a pretty awesome time in Hollywood.
Speaker 2: I think I feel like we were hit. We got
Speaker 2: in right at the last gasp of that, and it
Speaker 2: was like we were like right on the outside just
Speaker 2: sort of looking in and we got in.
Speaker 5: We got a whiff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got our little until Hollywood goes, nah, we're
Speaker 2: not doing that no more. But it is nice to hear. Like, yeah,
Speaker 2: in the eighties they did it a lot. In the nineties,
Speaker 2: you know, the R rated comedies sort of cooled off,
Speaker 2: and then it picked back up in the early two thousands,
Speaker 2: and then now we've we've been in a fifteen year drought.
Speaker 5: But now the news is the funniest thing on the air.
Speaker 2: I tell yeah, I tell you what.
Speaker 5: You can't make this stuff up? Well, it was.
Speaker 3: It was cool because there were all these camps, but
Speaker 3: we were really trying to like push it to the limit,
Speaker 3: like come up with the craziest set pieces and like
Speaker 3: you know, like have.
Speaker 5: The craziest like evil main characters and all that.
Speaker 3: It was really fun to be like, what is the
Speaker 3: wildest thing you can think of? And sometimes it was
Speaker 3: extremely offensive, and now looking back on some of it,
Speaker 3: you're like, well, Okay, maybe we pushed a little too.
Speaker 2: Far, but you're right, like all that black face that
Speaker 2: you used to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I definitely think of one thing that I've reader, Well.
Speaker 7: The Blake is all that black face as that would
Speaker 7: you know?
Speaker 5: That released the.
Speaker 2: Tape Todd released the tape My solo project, My solo
Speaker 2: project that was just at Blake's private parties on Epstein Island.
Speaker 9: You know it was only when you fucked that woman
Speaker 9: off of the high dive forcefully.
Speaker 5: I think I.
Speaker 2: Remember pitching to see you.
Speaker 5: I think I remember pitching saying it happens by accident.
Speaker 5: I did do I did I did do that.
Speaker 2: In an episode, it was like a flashback episode of
Speaker 2: us in college and I'm having sex with some girls.
Speaker 2: Virgin right, I'm a virgin. I'm losing my virginity on
Speaker 2: a hide and I thrust her off the top of
Speaker 2: the and she belly flops. I'm like, sorry, Yeah, we
Speaker 2: might not have done that.
Speaker 5: I don't think you said sorry. I think you go.
Speaker 9: I think I was trying to pitch that you do
Speaker 9: say sorry, And I don't know if it's in the cut.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you're the good guy. Come on.
Speaker 7: We might not run that exactly back.
Speaker 3: But but it was cool because there were all those
Speaker 3: comedy camps, and I feel like we were all just
Speaker 3: trying to almost like make each other laugh or be like,
Speaker 3: oh man, I can't believe they did that over there,
Speaker 3: And totally yeah, it was a really special time for sure.
Speaker 4: It also kind of felt too that, you know, with television,
Speaker 4: you know, obviously I think I find the stuff that's
Speaker 4: so specific to be the funniest, you know, like I
Speaker 4: tend to I tend to last less less at broader things.
Speaker 8: Not to say that that ship's not funny too.
Speaker 4: But I I really get tickled when I see something
Speaker 4: that's really specific and uh and even one.
Speaker 5: Here, we get it. You hate Dodgeball, dude, come on,
Speaker 5: leave them alone.
Speaker 4: I love I love it so much, But it felt
Speaker 4: that like that kind of stuff, if you were trying
Speaker 4: to navigate that in the studio world, it was more
Speaker 4: difficult because, like how our movie tested out of twenty six, like,
Speaker 4: you can have people who have good taste to respond
Speaker 4: to it, but it might not be what the masses
Speaker 4: respond to. And I think that, like when TV came around,
Speaker 4: it became popular and was willing to invest those people.
Speaker 4: I think that became like a safer ground for if
Speaker 4: you wanted to make strange comedy you did everything didn't
Speaker 4: matter if like everyone showed up the first twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: It came out like you can be weird, you can
Speaker 4: come on every week and fucking people can wait to
Speaker 4: the second season and even figure out what you're doing,
Speaker 4: and then it just kind of.
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know. It felt like you could take.
Speaker 4: More chances and I love that that hat with TV,
Speaker 4: but you do kind of hope that people will get
Speaker 4: some backbone and do it in theatrical again.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well hopefully it loops back around.
Speaker 2: I remember being like why and you were just so
Speaker 2: smart in doing it, Like why didn't you after foot
Speaker 2: Fast Way just start churning out our rated comedies theatrically?
Speaker 2: But then you went and did I'm sure everyone was like,
Speaker 2: why aren't you doing another movie? And then you went
Speaker 2: and did Eastbound and down at HBO.
Speaker 5: What was that like?
Speaker 7: Were your agents like, yo, dude, come out.
Speaker 2: With an R rated comedy, like like we're in the
Speaker 2: middle of.
Speaker 5: The boom times, baby?
Speaker 4: They all, even Will and Adam were kind of curious
Speaker 4: of why we wanted to do it as a TV
Speaker 4: show and not as a movie, And you know, for us,
Speaker 4: it was it was it was kind of the experience
Speaker 4: we went through with foot Fists. We were like, well,
Speaker 4: we know we're gonna make something. It's gonna get put
Speaker 4: into this meat grinder and it doesn't like hit these
Speaker 4: benchmarks with the test audience in Burbank. You people out
Speaker 4: there the study is gonna lose interest in promoting it.
Speaker 4: And plus at that time too, it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 4: Especially with comedies, it's easy for comedies that have to
Speaker 4: fit into an hour and a half.
Speaker 8: To become really formulaic.
Speaker 4: You know, this is where you meet the guy, this
Speaker 4: is where something goes wrong, this is where he thinks
Speaker 4: he's gonna lose, this is where he wins, this is
Speaker 4: where he gets to that like, you.
Speaker 8: Know, write that down. That's all they know. That's up
Speaker 8: to you.
Speaker 5: It felt like with TV that first season.
Speaker 4: Of Eastbound was three hours, and we're like, listen, we
Speaker 4: could make this different by even just not trying to
Speaker 4: fill the story in an hour and a half. If
Speaker 4: we can just fill it in three hours, we could
Speaker 4: do way weirder shit and we can have it be
Speaker 4: a little bit more unexpected. But obviously nobody was going
Speaker 4: to let us make a three hour theatrical movie, and
Speaker 4: so that was just our mindset with that first season.
Speaker 8: We never knew if that show was going to work,
Speaker 8: if anyone would ever do it again.
Speaker 4: It was just our way of making a follow up
Speaker 4: to foot Fist that would be as like epic as
Speaker 4: The Godfather, but just take place in Shelby, North Carolina,
Speaker 4: and so that was our idea of why I want
Speaker 4: to go into that was just and that was even
Speaker 4: for doing the short seasons. You know, at that point,
Speaker 4: there was nobody in the States that was making shows
Speaker 4: that were only six episodes like that was still like
Speaker 4: HBO was still I think thirteen episodes or twelve with
Speaker 4: the lowest, and then obviously Network was long was bigger
Speaker 4: than that. So even when we got picked up, they
Speaker 4: wanted us to do like thirteen episodes and we said no,
Speaker 4: that we just wanted to do six.
Speaker 8: We were tripping off of like the British.
Speaker 4: Office and seeing how like that stuff was so short
Speaker 4: and there was no waste. It was all just storytelling.
Speaker 4: And I also had this idea, I'm like, I want
Speaker 4: the season to be something that theoretically someone could watch
Speaker 4: in one sitting, like I don't I want this it
Speaker 4: could be digested like on one night, like I don't
Speaker 4: want it to be something that people have to take
Speaker 4: multiple days to get through this one season. And so
Speaker 4: that was sort of our way of riding like it
Speaker 4: making it feel like it's a movie even though it
Speaker 4: was a TV show, was just not making the seasons
Speaker 4: too long where you couldn't theoretically knock it out on
Speaker 4: one like hungover Saturday Morning.
Speaker 2: Well fucking good for you, dude, because I mean at
Speaker 2: that point you probably you didn't have any money, so
Speaker 2: this episode.
Speaker 7: To be like I want to make less money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, your.
Speaker 2: Because the second they were like, we'll give you more
Speaker 2: money if you do more episodes, we were like, we
Speaker 2: will do twenty episodes season three absolutely, and we did,
Speaker 2: and we almost fucking killed ourselves. That was the worst year.
Speaker 8: Brutal TV is hard, though, isn't it.
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys know it's like, you know, the
Speaker 4: more episodes you do, it like it is and you
Speaker 4: get paid well, but it is, uh, you know, there's
Speaker 4: nothing harder than writing a TV show. I think it's
Speaker 4: like now, you know, you write a movie, and even
Speaker 4: like this book, you write something and you get to
Speaker 4: go to the next step once it's finished.
Speaker 8: Like this book gets published once the book's done.
Speaker 4: A movie gets made once the script is done, and
Speaker 4: everyone signs off on it. TV, the fucking train is coming,
Speaker 4: you know, Like you're sitting here answering questions while you're
Speaker 4: trying to figure out what the hell you're gonna still
Speaker 4: do with it and a production office is opening it
Speaker 4: just it adds this whole layer of stress that can
Speaker 4: be exhilarating and fun. But it also is a totally
Speaker 4: different experience writing than writing in other formats.
Speaker 9: I think I like it because this there's no like
Speaker 9: pondering on the script and wondering, like it's like we
Speaker 9: got to move, we got to film this, Like well
Speaker 9: can we beat this?
Speaker 5: It's like we did it, we said, we thought about it,
Speaker 5: let's go make it. We'll get on set, we'll make
Speaker 5: it funny. I don't know.
Speaker 9: I think sometimes when there's like a movie, there's like this,
Speaker 9: there's this time that they preciousness.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where they're like I don't know, and you're like,
Speaker 5: well then we'll never know. We'll never know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, like Danny, like you, I mean, especially
Speaker 3: like upon reading the book and having all these like
Speaker 3: different stories, do you find joy in like creating a
Speaker 3: whole new environment, a whole new character, a whole new
Speaker 3: thing to dive into, Like where do you start? Do
Speaker 3: you start with your characters or do you have like
Speaker 3: an idea like oh, like robocare, Like I want a
Speaker 3: robot that comes over and takes care of an old man,
Speaker 3: like where do you Where do you get your inspiration
Speaker 3: for all your story?
Speaker 4: Sometimes it will be like an idea for a character
Speaker 4: you know, or a situation like that, you know, like oh,
Speaker 4: a robot you know nurse or a robot you know caretaker.
Speaker 4: Or sometimes it might even be like just a scene
Speaker 4: or an image of like, oh, what would be the
Speaker 4: story around that. With these stories, it was pretty fun
Speaker 4: because again there was no there was no pressure on
Speaker 4: any of it.
Speaker 8: It was the book ultimately was just gonna be whatever
Speaker 8: I wanted it to be.
Speaker 4: So I would be very selfish in the writing of it,
Speaker 4: where I mean, I wrote a lot of stuff that
Speaker 4: I didn't put in here, but I would just follow
Speaker 4: whatever was making me laugh or whatever was making me
Speaker 4: want to come back and keep working on it.
Speaker 8: And I got down the road on a lot of.
Speaker 4: Stories that I that I you know, some of them,
Speaker 4: I complete it, but really far into them, and I
Speaker 4: just kind of lost the spark for him and just
Speaker 4: you know, shelved them. And that was kind of nice
Speaker 4: to be able to do that, to kind of know
Speaker 4: that you just could follow the ones that you really liked,
Speaker 4: and that if there was something that was becoming too
Speaker 4: much of a puzzle.
Speaker 8: You could just throw it out. Throw it out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 2: So you would were I mean, did you write this
Speaker 2: like over the course of the last few years and
Speaker 2: you would just sort of tinker with it in your
Speaker 2: off time and then come back to it when you
Speaker 2: had a little more time in between shooting Gemstone.
Speaker 8: Yeah, a few of them.
Speaker 4: A few of the stories in there were things I
Speaker 4: had kind of like I had kind of like worked
Speaker 4: on between seasons the Gemstones, but then once Gemstones rapped,
Speaker 4: it's what I went into sort of full time. So
Speaker 4: it's what I worked on all last year. And then
Speaker 4: once I got into it that way, a lot of
Speaker 4: the earlier stuff I wrote, I just felt like it
Speaker 4: wasn't up to stuff. So I kind of ended up
Speaker 4: going through and writing the bulk of that book like
Speaker 4: last year after we wrapped Gemstones, which ended up being
Speaker 4: kind of therapeutic because Gemstones was so much fun.
Speaker 8: To work on.
Speaker 4: I loved it, Adam, as you know, we had a
Speaker 4: blast on it. But you know, I worked on it
Speaker 4: for seven years. And so even when you write and
Speaker 4: you're writing something that involves the same characters, the same world,
Speaker 4: your brain just gets trained to look at stories through
Speaker 4: those characters' eyes, and so it becomes hard to commit
Speaker 4: to another big story without it feeling like it's just
Speaker 4: like a replicant or something of what you just worked on.
Speaker 4: So these short stories ended up being a really awesome
Speaker 4: way to do that because you could just jump from
Speaker 4: short short of short story and just sort of like
Speaker 4: follow what was new and not feel like you were
Speaker 4: having to commit suddenly to a new TV show that
Speaker 4: you're going to have to love the characters as much
Speaker 4: as the ones you just finished writing for. You could
Speaker 4: you know, you can suck around a little bit like
Speaker 4: you're getting over a.
Speaker 8: You know, a long term relationship.
Speaker 10: Okay, yeah, yeah, this is this was your right here
Speaker 10: this Yeah, this is your industry dick pic man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really, Tales of Motterman is Danny mcgride's dick pic
Speaker 3: Beautiful beautiful.
Speaker 9: Wait, so you jumped into this right after seven seasons
Speaker 9: of a show, So I guess my question.
Speaker 7: Is like four season seven years.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we had strikes, we had COVID, we had a
Speaker 4: lot of there was a lot of natural calamities happened.
Speaker 7: We had a lot of ups, ups and downs, and.
Speaker 5: We don't need to get into how COVID started, whether
Speaker 5: it should be.
Speaker 4: Out of those how it started in shem Creek here
Speaker 4: in Charnson, South Carolina.
Speaker 9: Right, Well, fu in a bar, Matuck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, at a bar matt at Big Rid.
Speaker 5: What's what's your like work life balance? Do you have? Uh?
Speaker 5: Do you have shit you like to do to just chill?
Speaker 8: I do you or.
Speaker 9: Does your mind always go and you're like, well, I'm
Speaker 9: all write, or I'll go be on a movie and
Speaker 9: act a little bit or produce something, or do you
Speaker 9: just let you fucking row a boat?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Do you want to come on? Took Catalina with us.
Speaker 4: You know that that was something that I felt like
Speaker 4: when I moved to Charleston, and that's what I was
Speaker 4: looking for a little bit. Is in LA I really
Speaker 4: had a hard time finding what my fucking hobbies were. Like,
Speaker 4: I felt like every so work oriented.
Speaker 2: Well you drive down the street and there's just billboards
Speaker 2: of of everyone's movies and TV shows and you're like,
Speaker 2: kind of, yeah, I should.
Speaker 8: Everything is telling you to get to work.
Speaker 5: There's a fomositch, yeah, yeah, why am I not doing something?
Speaker 4: And Charleston just felt like I don't know. I mean Adam,
Speaker 4: you spent considered amount of time here. I mean you
Speaker 4: can just sit out in the back porch and look
Speaker 4: at the water. You can get on a bike and
Speaker 4: ride around, and not that you can't do that stuff
Speaker 4: in La, but I don't know. It just became easier
Speaker 4: to shut things off and to kind of find other
Speaker 4: ways to occupy your time.
Speaker 8: I mean I like working.
Speaker 4: I like doing what we do, so there is a
Speaker 4: sense of me that I always kind of am working
Speaker 4: on something, but not because I feel like I have to.
Speaker 8: I just I just like it. I I enjoy doing it.
Speaker 2: Well, dude, I think we could talk about it because
Speaker 2: I saw it.
Speaker 5: I read the Trades and.
Speaker 2: I saw it. It just came out that you wrote
Speaker 2: and are going to direct the new GI.
Speaker 8: Joe Dude Joe Yo Joe.
Speaker 3: Dude, which okay, So yeah, are you are you because
Speaker 3: I G I Joe is mentioned in the book?
Speaker 7: I remember that, like you were talking about all their needs.
Speaker 3: Then are you are you pretty entrenched in G I
Speaker 3: Joe lore or like, how how are we feeling about that?
Speaker 8: You know, I grew up playing G I Joe.
Speaker 4: It was you know, that shit was was massive when
Speaker 4: we were kids, and you know, the comic books were
Speaker 4: on were obviously awesome.
Speaker 8: The cartoon show was awesome.
Speaker 4: There's a channel on YouTube that is just twenty four
Speaker 4: hours g I Joe episodes or just streaming. Yeah, it's
Speaker 4: just streaming. I like that because you don't have to
Speaker 4: make the choices. It's just turned on.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 8: There's an episode playing, but it takes you back. It
Speaker 8: does that.
Speaker 4: The soundtrack, those voices, the colors, it's all these it's
Speaker 4: so cool.
Speaker 8: The voices are crazy, right, I mean it like.
Speaker 9: That Stroe's voice is crazy. Cobra Commander sounds insane.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, there's some of the best voice actors for sure.
Speaker 3: It's also just cool to see like the character creation
Speaker 3: or like, so what different what makes Roadblock different? It's like, well,
Speaker 3: everything he says, he rhymes. It's like, okay, we're going
Speaker 3: with that.
Speaker 8: Okay, we like that. That's enough.
Speaker 2: So for something like this is it Is it going
Speaker 2: to be funny? Are you going to put that the
Speaker 2: comedy spirit in into this or is it going to
Speaker 2: be a straight ahead action film or or what?
Speaker 4: I think it'll be about as funny as maybe Predator is.
Speaker 4: You know, like I think that there there there will.
Speaker 4: There's no way that we can turn it off totally.
Speaker 4: These characters, I think will you know, some of them
Speaker 4: will make you laugh. But the movie itself is not
Speaker 4: handled like it's a comedy. You know, we're not We're
Speaker 4: not like making fun of G I.
Speaker 8: Joe.
Speaker 4: Or we're not like you know, winking to the audience,
Speaker 4: or you know, just even playing into nostalgia. Like you know,
Speaker 4: John Concurry and Jeff Bradley who wrote on Gemstones with
Speaker 4: me and helped run that show. I wrote, this is
Speaker 4: what we all worked on together after Gemstones, and we
Speaker 4: really just wanted to write like something that kind of
Speaker 4: grounds that concept.
Speaker 8: Of G I.
Speaker 4: Joe as much as you can without like taking out
Speaker 4: what's fun about it, without getting rid of like how
Speaker 4: incredible Cobra is and you know, and all of these
Speaker 4: different characters, and you know, just utilizing what we liked
Speaker 4: about it, but trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 4: like introduce it to a new generation of people, and
Speaker 4: to introduce it in a way where you could root
Speaker 4: for these people and you can be invested in it.
Speaker 4: And I think by us kind of making it like
Speaker 4: a kind of a thriller action you know, movie set
Speaker 4: in Suburbia. It's just I don't know everything about it
Speaker 4: just started to work for us conceptually, and we've had
Speaker 4: a blast writing it.
Speaker 8: And it was one of those.
Speaker 4: Experiences where we so I sold the pitch to it,
Speaker 4: and you know, I talked to Fradley and John and
Speaker 4: I said, listen, there's gonna be a lot of hoops
Speaker 4: to jump through with doing something like this, Like we're
Speaker 4: gonna have to get through Paramount, We're gonna have to
Speaker 4: get through Hasbro. We have no experience doing something of
Speaker 4: this magnitude. So I was like, I just want to
Speaker 4: skip outlines and all of it. Like, let's just quietly
Speaker 4: write this entire script while they're taking forever to get
Speaker 4: our contracts together, and the day that we signed the
Speaker 4: contracts and we have our first meeting, let's just drop
Speaker 4: a script on them that day. And that's exactly what
Speaker 4: we did. We just were we were like, let's just
Speaker 4: because we know from TV it's such a waste of
Speaker 4: time to do outlines. I mean, we'll sit there and
Speaker 4: fucking give notes about an outline and then we start
Speaker 4: writing the script and the outline goes completely out the
Speaker 4: door because you start realizing what really does work the
Speaker 4: moment you start writing it.
Speaker 8: So that's what we did. We wrote this script and
Speaker 8: just threw.
Speaker 5: It through the window. We're like, yo, Joe.
Speaker 8: We airlifted in. And you know, afterwards it was.
Speaker 4: Sort of like, oh, that was a bold move, because
Speaker 4: if they if they were like totally not into it,
Speaker 4: it'd been like these fucking nerds, like, no, dude, you
Speaker 4: gotta give us, you gotta tell us what you're doing.
Speaker 8: You can't just do.
Speaker 5: It like this.
Speaker 8: But their response was awesome.
Speaker 4: I think that like we felt really confident in what
Speaker 4: we sent in and then their response was was met
Speaker 4: with equal enthusiasm, and so I think between Paramount and us,
Speaker 4: we just really saw the potential for what this could be.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't mean that that first draft is like,
Speaker 4: you know, set in stone. We've been like working and
Speaker 4: working on it to just make it better. But we
Speaker 4: felt like it was a better place to start the
Speaker 4: conversation with something that's this ambitious, to just be like,
Speaker 4: this is what we're trying to do, instead of giving
Speaker 4: some fifteen page document where we're like summarizing all this
Speaker 4: shit and like it's so hard to convey tone with
Speaker 4: that too. And I think something like this the tone
Speaker 4: is everything. You know, there's good tones and bad tones,
Speaker 4: and you know, and you know, these people don't know us.
Speaker 4: They don't they're not necessarily give us the benefit of
Speaker 4: the doubt that all of our ideas are going to
Speaker 4: be executed in the most palatable way, like they could
Speaker 4: be reading our ideas.
Speaker 8: Like these guys are gonna blow this.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 8: And so we just felt like we just wanted to
Speaker 8: put our money where our mouth.
Speaker 5: Was that bad. That's fucking awesome, dude, And this is
Speaker 5: PG thirteen.
Speaker 4: It has to be PG thirteen, But it's okay. We're
Speaker 4: we're running within those lines. I think we got this.
Speaker 5: I like that. I like that challenge.
Speaker 3: I feel like also thirteen used to be pretty gnarly,
Speaker 3: kind of edgy.
Speaker 7: I remember that.
Speaker 2: I forget.
Speaker 5: Was it like Doc Holliday ors Doc Hollywood? Dude, Doc Hollywood.
Speaker 5: I went with my mom. They're ditties in it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there's titties.
Speaker 9: She comes out of the water fully naked, what bush
Speaker 9: fully naked?
Speaker 2: It was PG thirteen. I made my parents rent me
Speaker 2: that movie every weekend. I was like, maybe we run
Speaker 2: Doc Hollywood back.
Speaker 5: Like Adam's gonna grow up and be a doctor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be in the basement watching doc Hollywood again, right,
Speaker 2: So just throwing that your away, Danny. There could be
Speaker 2: there could be.
Speaker 5: Something one Lady j could be full bush.
Speaker 2: One one flopping out.
Speaker 5: Please make it, baroness, please make it.
Speaker 9: Oh god, she's so hot, brolet's.
Speaker 5: Make it with theses again. Yeah, just be really zoomed.
Speaker 7: He's gonna dress up his dick as g I Joe character.
Speaker 9: May guys, who was the guy all right, pe but
Speaker 9: the guy who was in the famous photo that went
Speaker 9: around that was like sitting on the edge of the
Speaker 9: bed with like the giant cock hanging over the.
Speaker 7: Big black guy. I can't recall if.
Speaker 5: He was alive. He's my roadblock. Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: I think his name was bluff block. He could block
Speaker 5: a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, his greatest asset would just go to waste in
Speaker 4: a PG thirteen movies, you know you can see some outlines.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but everyone would know, everyone would know. You'd watch
Speaker 5: it and you.
Speaker 2: Go, he's always just sitting on the edge of the
Speaker 2: bed with his just his arm hanging right there.
Speaker 5: Please have tons of in it. Wasn't that a character name.
Speaker 5: It has a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: I love Joe's the fact you're doing that gets me
Speaker 3: so freaking excited. Dude, I like live for g I Joe's.
Speaker 8: Yeah, me too.
Speaker 9: I just I'm gonna ask you do not have to answer.
Speaker 9: Can you say who the lead character will be?
Speaker 4: You know, Duke plays a big role in it, but
Speaker 4: it's an ensemble, so there's a lot of there's there's
Speaker 4: a lot of Joe's in it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 9: God, there's a lot of jokes cool like this is
Speaker 9: asking to be cast.
Speaker 5: There's a lot for five even kind of like a
