Speaker 1: At horrible plane crash occurred last night. I was headed
Speaker 1: to do this podcast and I just felt so heavy.
Speaker 1: So I think it's it's better to say that it's
Speaker 1: on our minds rather than try and ignore it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it's tragic, man, Oh my god, in the fires.
Speaker 1: Sorry audience, We're gonna pivot to not be talking about
Speaker 1: tragedy in a second. But it's just it's really overwhelming
Speaker 1: with the fires and and so many people we know
Speaker 1: here in l A lost everything. It just it's just
Speaker 1: like I was like, now there's a plane crash. It
Speaker 1: just just feels really really scary time. Joelle, will you
Speaker 1: say a prayer?
Speaker 3: Fucking that's not.

Speaker 4: He's a cute one.
Speaker 1: Sorry, my adopted pitbull who's now longer a foster, but
Speaker 1: she brings me joy.
Speaker 3: I find my joy in my family and my animation.
Speaker 3: You know. In Star Wars.
Speaker 1: Yes, I saw a video. I know you saw it too.
Speaker 1: I think I sent it to you. And it looked
Speaker 1: like the happiest man in the world.
Speaker 3: And he is the happiest man in the world.
Speaker 1: He had a Star Wars room that must have looks
Speaker 1: like it costs to decorate with all his one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand dollars not even close more less Okay, well, anyway,
Speaker 1: it was the most tricked out Star Wars room. He
Speaker 1: was sitting at his Star Wars table building Star Wars legos,
Speaker 1: watching Star.
Speaker 3: Wars, watching The Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 1: And he was like, it reminded me of you. I
Speaker 1: was like, that would be Donald's happy place if someone
Speaker 1: could just leave'm alone. Yeah, to be in his Star
Speaker 1: Wars room building Star Wars leg I was watching The
Speaker 1: Empire strikes Back. Yeah, and his wife, I assume was
Speaker 1: filming him being like, look at my look at my
Speaker 1: man in his happy place.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think she was trying to make fun of him.
Speaker 5: But oh, really, what made you think that?
Speaker 3: Well, because she's.
Speaker 1: Let him build that fucking room. She must have been
Speaker 1: quite supportive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's because she loves him. That's the only
Speaker 2: reason why. Like, my wife makes so much fun of
Speaker 2: me for.
Speaker 1: Having really she called her blurred, well.
Speaker 3: She calls me. She calls me other names.
Speaker 2: Blurred isn't one of them, but you know she you know,
Speaker 2: but she's very supportive of my Star Wars addiction because
Speaker 2: it really is an addiction. Like if a toy comes out,
Speaker 2: I'm on the internet already, like, okay, let me see
Speaker 2: by the.
Speaker 5: Way, I'm supportive.
Speaker 1: Do you know how many things I DM Donald that
Speaker 1: are Star Wars related? Because now the algorithm thinks I
Speaker 1: like this shit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I have no interest in any of this ship.
Speaker 1: I look, the algorithm because I send every wacky Star
Speaker 1: Wars thing to Donald, thinks that I'm into it, so
Speaker 1: I get all this ship.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm so addicted to Star Wars that I
Speaker 2: watch YouTube videos about theories on Star Wars, like I
Speaker 2: watch new rock star shout out what's his name? Voss
Speaker 2: Eric Voss. I watched freaking scream crush, what's that dude's name?
Speaker 2: Freaking uh yo, dude, I saw.
Speaker 1: You a deleted scene from Star Wars that got sent to.
Speaker 3: Me, which one and I had seen it already.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've seen it already. Tell Joel seen it once.
Speaker 2: It's when Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are fighting in
Speaker 2: Cloud Citty on the on the platform, and there's this
Speaker 2: whole dialogue after he says the Force is strong with you,
Speaker 2: young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet, and
Speaker 2: they're fighting and Luke is doing some really dope moves
Speaker 2: and Vader's like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, that's what I want. Pretty much, take
Speaker 3: your revenge. I destroyed your family.
Speaker 2: And they cut that out of the movie, thank goodness,
Speaker 2: because it would have been a weird turn.
Speaker 3: When he says, no, I am your father.
Speaker 4: Is it the extra dialogue they wrote so they could
Speaker 4: do the ad R because they didn't do that on set, right,
Speaker 4: but I am your father?
Speaker 3: No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2: Well, the extra dialogue comes after he gets his hand
Speaker 2: chopped off. This is literally when they're they're fighting where
Speaker 2: Han Solo has just been frozen, uh and uh and
Speaker 2: says I know to Lea they're fighting in that area
Speaker 2: god on an.
Speaker 3: Orange room with the orange orange lit up floor. Just

Speaker 2: You know that's that whole cast is actually pretty funny, Adams.
Speaker 1: I need Jillian Toki to guide us through a conversation.
Speaker 3: Why are you upset?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Really? Yes, because I don't watch Separates.
Speaker 1: No, because I asked you last night to make sure
Speaker 1: you at least watched the pilot. Because we were having
Speaker 1: the star of the show on.
Speaker 3: I get.
Speaker 2: I know the premise of the show though already, and
Speaker 2: I know I know who he is, and I mean.
Speaker 1: I just wish Jillian Tareki was here to lead us
Speaker 1: through a conversation.
Speaker 3: You know, I just don't. I want to know the man,
Speaker 3: not necessarily the work. Okay, let's put it that.
Speaker 5: Way, all right.

Speaker 4: The show, big old yeah, I fallout are.
Speaker 3: Him?
Speaker 2: I've got to say, are you a fan of him?
Speaker 2: Because of Fallout or because of.
Speaker 9: Severans discovered him because of Severance fell in love with
Speaker 9: him on Fallout. He's also one of my favorite new
Speaker 9: guests on a different podcast to listen to.
Speaker 1: So what's that podcast?
Speaker 3: What podcast is dough Boys.
Speaker 9: It's a podcast about fast food restaurants, and he is
Speaker 9: an all time new guest. He's great.
Speaker 1: Is he really knowledgeable about fast food?
Speaker 5: Yeah? He is. And I didn't know about.
Speaker 1: This because I didn't watch Spider Man movies, but in
Speaker 1: Spider Man Homecoming he got quite famous because he said,
Speaker 1: do a flip, Spider.
Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, backflip, and then he does the backflip.
Speaker 1: And that kind of made him like a viral hit
Speaker 1: as the street vender.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I want to ask him about that because I just
Speaker 1: want to know a question for him.
Speaker 2: I want to know what he did to get into
Speaker 2: Marvel movies man, Like I'm trying to crack that code
Speaker 2: like every other actor in Hollywood who hasn't been in one.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to crack that Star Wars code too, like
Speaker 2: every other actor who hasn't been in one. Jude Law
Speaker 2: just did it. And Jude Law did a great job
Speaker 2: in fucking Skeleton Crew. I want to crack that code,
Speaker 2: crack that code?
Speaker 3: What a chant going? No?
Speaker 5: What is shang Chi?
Speaker 1: And the legend of the Ten Rings?
Speaker 4: That is a Marvel property?
Speaker 5: Okay, was that possu?
Speaker 3: That sh was fire? Dude, you didn't see I don't
Speaker 3: really want.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, that's I mean. That boy does
Speaker 2: his own stunts too. And so if you want to
Speaker 2: see something really cool, just watch the behind the scenes
Speaker 2: of shang Chi. And this boy is literally jumping on
Speaker 2: a bus, swinging, doing flips like.
Speaker 1: It was also in that movie as in a cameo,
Speaker 1: and there were some questions about whether it was the
Speaker 1: same guy. Was it the street fender?
Speaker 3: Well, shang Chi takes place in San Francisco, and.
Speaker 5: So I would have had to move to.
Speaker 3: From New York from Queens to Sam.
Speaker 4: No, thank you man, time to play, ma'am.
Speaker 1: No, she's barking at the next her neighbor's gardener. But
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to admonish them. You're supposed to say no,
Speaker 1: thank you. You still want them to guard, but you
Speaker 1: want to be like, hey, I got this, We're good.
Speaker 4: That's just so apparently dogs can't understand yelling, Like if
Speaker 4: you're just yelling. They're just like, oh, you're loud, and
Speaker 4: maybe anybody can't process what you're trying to tell them.
Speaker 1: When you when you when they're barking and you yell
Speaker 1: at them, when you're when they're barking and you yell
Speaker 1: at them, they think you're barking along with them.
Speaker 3: I'll be telling my dog shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: Trainer would tell you that's not the most effective thing.
Speaker 3: That shit works every time.
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and train this dog so well,
Speaker 1: I'm really going to put in the effort to have this.
Speaker 1: I've already got go to your bed when she's when
Speaker 1: it's feeding time and she races to her bed. It's
Speaker 1: really cute.
Speaker 5: I'm really proud of that.
Speaker 4: You should be. I caught up on the Pit zach Oh,
Speaker 4: Night of the Pit, I'm so I was so mad
Speaker 4: when I ran out of episodes, so they can't only
Speaker 4: be four out? What is happening was really bad?
Speaker 5: Great?
Speaker 4: It is so. I'd already seen the pilot and you
Speaker 4: I loved it, but I just hadn't gone back to
Speaker 4: catch up. And now I was like, well, let me
Speaker 4: just answering emails, let me just pop it on in
Speaker 4: the background. Two hours later, I have to turn this
Speaker 4: off because it requires my full attention.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, you can, but on your phone. No, you
Speaker 1: got to really pay attention.
Speaker 4: That is not second screen viewing. I would say the
Speaker 4: from a like medical show, prosthetics and makeup are so fabulous,
Speaker 4: and there's this really good and kind of gross, but
Speaker 4: then the emotional impact it's wonderful.
Speaker 1: You don't already realized the er couldn't have been as
Speaker 1: graphic as they are because it was a network show,
Speaker 1: whereas they show they don't hide the the gore. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not there's moments where'ts super gory, like with that foot.
Speaker 1: But I just had that realization when I was watching it, like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is so realistic. Look and whoever's in charge of
Speaker 1: the prosthetics and the special effects makeup is just one hundred.
Speaker 1: It's so intense and so realistic. But I had I
Speaker 1: had that thought that, oh, they couldn't do this on
Speaker 1: a r because it's now our TV.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm blown away at the way they're able
Speaker 4: to manage so many characters moving so consistently mean, And
Speaker 4: that's kind of a trope of medical TV where you
Speaker 4: have a lot of doctors and a lot of moving
Speaker 4: parts and new patients. But because this is all taking
Speaker 4: place in one day across the season, hour to hour,
Speaker 4: you're so much more invested in these folks. And it's
Speaker 4: it's just genuinely brilliant and heartbreaking and lovely and inspiring,
Speaker 4: and it's a great show. It's a wonderful TV.
Speaker 3: Yes, do the days connect or is it just random days?
Speaker 4: It's one day, one day for the season.
Speaker 1: The whole season is his Yes, the whole season is
Speaker 1: his fifteen hour shift. He's he's the lead doctor on
Speaker 1: this er board in Pittsburgh, and he's got medical students
Speaker 1: and residents and interns and nurses and he oversees everything.
Speaker 1: And the waiting room is there's not a seat left
Speaker 1: in the waiting room. It's all packed. And this is
Speaker 1: like a typical fifteen hour shift and.
Speaker 3: Fifteen episodes total.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not you know what I like about it,
Speaker 1: It's all believable. You know, went with er even though
Speaker 1: I only didn't really watch it, but it got to
Speaker 1: be like, you know, how could all of these crazy
Speaker 1: things happen? This is all intense, but I think it's
Speaker 1: completely believable in that all these things would happen in
Speaker 1: a typical fifteen hour shift in a busy.
Speaker 2: Er because twenty four was not believable at all. I
Speaker 2: was a hYP show ever in the history. This motherfucker
Speaker 2: would get shot and then two episodes later he's fine
Speaker 2: and running, and shit, it's like, nigga, you just got
Speaker 2: shot two hours ago.
Speaker 3: What the fuck? They better not do that on this show.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 5: I never watched twenty four.
Speaker 1: I feel like something big is going to happen though,
Speaker 1: Oh well, I feel like they're laying foundation for something
Speaker 1: big to occur.
Speaker 3: I feel in the mid season.
Speaker 4: In the mid they started off with this big revelation
Speaker 4: that this doctor's mentor passed on this day and it's
Speaker 4: been multiple years since he worked this specific day, and
Speaker 4: he's really struggling to keep his composure throughout the day.
Speaker 4: And so as that tension ramps up, you're like, is
Speaker 4: he gonna break? Is he gonna be okay? Like you're
Speaker 4: very I'm just a family.
Speaker 1: Can I can I say a theory that Daniel can
Speaker 1: beep out and you just tell your reaction. Yeah, Daniel,
Speaker 1: do you watch the show or no?
Speaker 9: No, not yet.
Speaker 1: You should watch it, Donald, you should watch it I
Speaker 1: know you won't. All right, just beep this out. But
Speaker 1: I have a theory that.
Speaker 4: Well, I am not emotionally prepared for that, Zach, but
Speaker 4: they are really like they went really hard.
Speaker 1: Wait but don't, don't, don't, don't don't do that. Don't
Speaker 1: but I don't go to the spoiler. But don't you
Speaker 1: think that that it would be an insane possibility.
Speaker 4: I think it would break my heart. But this show
Speaker 4: seems very concerned about the emotional and mental health of
Speaker 4: us as a country, and that is an quintessential element
Speaker 4: of our emotional health, and so it seems appropriate that
Speaker 4: they venture down that way. But I'm just not I'm
Speaker 4: not ready. Oh God, can we get I can't?
Speaker 1: Oh can we get Noah?
Speaker 4: We've sent so I'm getting to hear back.
Speaker 1: I really want to know since we've since this podcast
Speaker 1: has become an ad for the pit, I really would
Speaker 1: love to get Noah whiley on the show. Another reason
Speaker 1: why I talk to Noah whiley is that he's just
Speaker 1: you know, there's so many incredible actors that that you
Speaker 1: go here, what happened to them? And I don't really
Speaker 1: know what. I'm sure know Whyley's been working and I'm
Speaker 1: sure he's Yeah, I know. I'm just saying he hasn't
Speaker 1: been on my radar. That's all I'm saying. I love
Speaker 1: him as an actor, always have. He hasn't been on
Speaker 1: my raidar. I'm sure he's working, I'm sure he's a
Speaker 1: family all the things. But I'm just so happy that
Speaker 1: he's front and center and starring the Great Show again
Speaker 1: because he's so talented. Yes, Daniel, all right, let him jen.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
Speaker 10: We made about a bunch of talks and nurses and
Speaker 10: the janitor.
Speaker 11: I said he's the Stormies nets. So yetta round you here,
Speaker 11: yeada round you here.
Speaker 3: We I haven't slept. I'm having a hard time sleeping. Man.
Speaker 2: Last night kind of fucked me up between you between
Speaker 2: squid games because.
Speaker 1: Your lights are all off. No, bro, I'm going to
Speaker 1: send you a ring light for Christmas.
Speaker 3: I'd like that.
Speaker 4: Actually, do you need a ring light? Don't you have
Speaker 4: a ring light?
Speaker 5: I thought you had a ring light? He won't use it,
Speaker 5: but one.
Speaker 3: Hey, what up, big Zach?
Speaker 8: Howdy? How's it going?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 3: Howdy that guys?
Speaker 8: Do you guys need a second to finish your ring
Speaker 8: light conversation?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: We see how you can barely see Donald. I really
Speaker 1: would like to be able to take.
Speaker 8: A handsome I see how I can barely see him?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I can see me.
Speaker 3: And y'all get you know what, It's not going to
Speaker 3: look like that when you.
Speaker 1: Producer Joel Monique is offering to send him a ring light,
Speaker 1: and I know Donald well enough to know that that
Speaker 1: ring light will not leave the cardboard box.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I'll use it on my animation. That's all.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Zach, Welcome, Welcome, Aloha.
Speaker 8: Aloha as well to you.
Speaker 1: Zach.
Speaker 5: We're so happy to have you. Man.
Speaker 1: We have been obsessively talking about Severance like so many people,
Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm really so happy for you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: You're on a giant monster hit of a TV show.
Speaker 8: Thanks. Thanks, I'm I'm very excited. I'm huge fans of
Speaker 8: of both of yours, so this is truly appreciate you.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you, man. We were just talking about Before
Speaker 1: we get to Severn's, I just want to talk for
Speaker 1: a second about the Spider Man do a flip thing,
Speaker 1: because I have a tribute question for you that not
Speaker 1: a lot of people would get unless you're a film geek.
Speaker 1: Is the man standing next to you radio Man.
Speaker 8: Uh My answer is I think so, but I need
Speaker 8: you to provide more context for who is radio Man?
Speaker 1: So I got it, Okay, I just thought it might
Speaker 1: be obvious, yes, but it probably is. All right, So
Speaker 1: for anyone who works in film in New York and
Speaker 1: New York City, did you shoot in New York City
Speaker 1: that scene?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 1: There's a guy named radio Man who I believe was
Speaker 1: the inspiration for Robin Williams in What's that movie? H
Speaker 1: help me? He's almost Come.
Speaker 3: On, man, I like New York in June. How about you?
Speaker 3: The Fisher King.
Speaker 1: The Fisher King, and he is a very unique individual.
Speaker 1: He is obsessed with.
Speaker 2: Movies and he's obsessed with.
Speaker 3: Production.
Speaker 1: For two he shows films and he shows up to sets.
Speaker 1: He is always carrying.
Speaker 3: A radio, a bike in a radio.
Speaker 1: He rides a bicycle. He has a radio around his neck.
Speaker 1: People often think he's a almost person, but I believe
Speaker 1: he isn't. But he is a very interesting character anyway,
Speaker 1: if you talk to him, he knows everyone's names. He
Speaker 1: shows up on sets and a lot of directors know him.
Speaker 1: A lot of actors know him because he's on every
Speaker 1: set in New York and they give him cameos, and
Speaker 1: so he's in lots and lots of films. He's in
Speaker 1: my film Going in Style, He's he's in many, many,
Speaker 1: minut any films.
Speaker 5: You can google this.
Speaker 1: If you're confused and this doesn't making sense, just google
Speaker 1: radio Man, New York City. But when I was watching
Speaker 1: that clip of you, there's a guy that looks a
Speaker 1: lot like him holding a radio, and I said, I
Speaker 1: think that's radio Man.
Speaker 8: So I do have an answer, and it's actually a
Speaker 8: maybe even a deeper dive trivia fact, it is not
Speaker 8: radio And it's a guy named Kirk Thatcher who he
Speaker 8: appears in a Star Trek movie as the same character
Speaker 8: he appears in my Spider Man clip. A guy as
Speaker 8: a guy holding a boombox, and he's like, I think
Speaker 8: he has something to do with the hens In company
Speaker 8: he worked with, Like, he's directed a bunch of commercials
Speaker 8: with muppets, and he was telling me on set about
Speaker 8: directing like Miss Piggy and stuff like that. Also, a
Speaker 8: really interesting guy also has ties to a radio I
Speaker 8: believe a different gentleman.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's bizarre, but and whoever cast him definitely said
Speaker 1: showed him a picture of radio man and said be
Speaker 1: like this because that's uh, that's who radio man is.
Speaker 1: But what that must have been crazy? But I just
Speaker 1: watched your segment on Colbert. We were very funny going
Speaker 1: to Comic Con. Was that How did that call about?
Speaker 1: And were you surprised when that when that little clip
Speaker 1: went so viral?
Speaker 3: Zach? How did you crack the code? Tell us how
Speaker 3: you cracked.
Speaker 2: There are so many actors like yourself who want to
Speaker 2: crack the code, and.
Speaker 3: You did it. What did you do?
Speaker 8: I have no idea. I was shocked.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 8: I mean, it was like really exciting to get to
Speaker 8: do that, that tiny little thing. But then it has
Speaker 8: been surprising a the level of response I got and
Speaker 8: be the staying power where I still get people who
Speaker 8: will yell do a flip to me, just like randomly.
Speaker 8: The Colbert thing came about also sort of randomly where
Speaker 8: I was performing at the UCB Theater in New York
Speaker 8: at the time. And I think that Colbert writers just
Speaker 8: had an idea for a segment. They didn't have me
Speaker 8: in mind in particular, but they had an idea of
Speaker 8: they wanted to send someone who was a small character
Speaker 8: in a Marvel project to Comic Con. And like really
Speaker 8: have them pretend that they were very important. And so
Speaker 8: the artistic director emailed me and was like, it kind
Speaker 8: of seems like, you know, you're the guy for this,
Speaker 8: and I was like, yeah, absolutely, and it was it
Speaker 8: was very surprising and uh strange to have the entire
Speaker 8: sort of like Colbert mechanism operating behind me because of
Speaker 8: this one line basically that I said in a.
Speaker 1: Well, we're the perfect person because of your UCB background.
Speaker 1: I thought you were. You were riffing with all those
Speaker 1: people and you were so funny. I mean, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to see more segments of this, like I'd
Speaker 1: watch more of this Man on the street.
Speaker 8: They definitely wanted someone who had like an improvved background
Speaker 8: for it.
Speaker 2: But your character now has its own, Like there are
Speaker 2: people who are creating your character's own backstory.
Speaker 3: And stuff like that, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like you could connect it to Shang Chi also, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are people are people ruminating that that's the
Speaker 1: same guy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, And and the and the truth is, I
Speaker 8: don't know if it is the same because because they're
Speaker 8: so you know, they keep thinking so under wraps. But
Speaker 8: I think it is very rare to appear in multiple
Speaker 8: Marvel Universe things as different people. So yeah, I genuinely
Speaker 8: don't know.
Speaker 1: So that character moved to San Francisco or.
Speaker 8: He was vacationing, who knows.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. Well, tell
Speaker 1: us about Severn's please, because it's so crazy and unique.
Speaker 1: And what was your We'll just first tell us what
Speaker 1: was your audition process? Like, how did how did it
Speaker 1: come about that you you got cast by uh, you know,
Speaker 1: Ben Stiller for this incredible show.
Speaker 8: For that, I sent him a tape and I think
Speaker 8: Ben had maybe seen I think he had seen I'm
Speaker 8: in one episode of Succession, like sort of very briefly,
Speaker 8: and I think he had seen and had seen some
Speaker 8: of my other kind of comedy stuff. So I sent
Speaker 8: in a tape for the part, and then got brought
Speaker 8: in in person with him and Dan Erickson, who are
Speaker 8: the who's the creator of the show, and and Ben
Speaker 8: sort of just had me like again, my my improv
Speaker 8: background came into effect where he was like, let's kind
Speaker 8: of like play around with the scene and riff a
Speaker 8: little bit, because I think he was looking to, you know,
Speaker 8: he always wanted the show to have a little bit
Speaker 8: of an office comedy feel to it, especially in the
Speaker 8: segments in the office in that first season, so I
Speaker 8: think he kind of wanted to just, you know, see
Speaker 8: what that would be.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 8: And then our show has historically long processes, where the
Speaker 8: first season we were about to go into production, and
Speaker 8: then COVID happened, and then our second season was interrupted
Speaker 8: by the strikes and everything. But so after auditioning, it
Speaker 8: took quite a while to actually to get in there
Speaker 8: and get started. But as soon as we did, it
Speaker 8: was like, Oh, I think we're making something really cool
Speaker 8: and weird.
Speaker 1: Did you well, it's funny. I'm a funny story. I
Speaker 1: was sent the pilot to read audition for the part
Speaker 1: that Adam got, and it is incredible at and is
Speaker 1: so so brilliant in but I didn't really understand it.
Speaker 1: I remember reading it and being like, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I could do this because I don't really know
Speaker 1: what's happening. When you when you first read it, were
Speaker 1: you like what it's very hard to describe what the
Speaker 1: show is.
Speaker 8: It is very hard to describe. I like pretty quickly
Speaker 8: liked it and was like, Ooh, I think this is
Speaker 8: my kind of show, Like, I think this is something
Speaker 8: I would love to watch. But as we were making
Speaker 8: it and then before the first season was coming out,
Speaker 8: it was really hard to describe it to like friends
Speaker 8: or anyone and be like, well, it's like it's kind
Speaker 8: of a sci fi show but only a little bit,
Speaker 8: and like it is funny, but it's also scary and
Speaker 8: it's you know, it is kind of hard to pin down,
Speaker 8: but I knew I liked the vibe of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys have incredible chemistry. I mean, the four
Speaker 1: of you together, and and I feel like you do
Speaker 1: have a lot of the laughs. I feel like you're
Speaker 1: kind of like the comic relief to everybody else's straight men.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I think, uh, we do have a
Speaker 8: really fun chemistry and dynamic and a lot of that
Speaker 8: I do think came from the like unusual circumstances of
Speaker 8: the first season of We were like one of the
Speaker 8: first shows back when COVID happened, So it was this
Speaker 8: very weird time of like, you know, you were in
Speaker 8: masks and you also had these face shields that you
Speaker 8: weren't under the netch like a dog, you know those
Speaker 8: collars dogs a collar. Yeah, like it was. It was
Speaker 8: very strange, and the only people who would ever take
Speaker 8: their masks off were the actors in the scenes, so
Speaker 8: like we would go all day only seeing each other's faces,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you don't see the crew at all.
Speaker 5: Yeah, at all.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 8: It was very strange, But I do think that kind
Speaker 8: of helped accelerate our sort of comfort level and like
Speaker 8: intimacy because it was it was really weird. But it's
Speaker 8: also such a great group that, uh, I think it's
Speaker 8: like that also makes it easy. It's such a great
Speaker 8: group of performers and also people. Everyone is like really
Speaker 8: fun to be around, and it's great. It's my I'm
Speaker 8: so lucky.
Speaker 2: Zach, do you remember the COVID times when you were
Speaker 2: working on sets and didn't know what Like you could
Speaker 2: run into people from work at a bar and not
Speaker 2: know who the fuck they were because they had masks
Speaker 2: on all the time. Do you remember that, Like, I'm
Speaker 2: just I'm sure. I'm sure Zach Braft too, I'm sure
Speaker 2: you both remember this time.
Speaker 8: We got to we need a nomenclature.
Speaker 1: For which Zach Zach Graft and Zach Cherry both know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was really weird.
Speaker 1: I remember directing something right in the beginning of COVID
Speaker 1: where they that where everyone had the yeah, like Zach saying,
Speaker 1: not only have a mask, but have a shield, and
Speaker 1: then only the actor could. I mean, what a surreal
Speaker 1: crazy time.
Speaker 2: Now it was nutty time, bro. And did you guys
Speaker 2: have to stop in the middle of shooting till.
Speaker 1: The people get COVID when you were shooting.
Speaker 8: Uh, I don't think we had any like full on
Speaker 8: shutdowns we got. We got pretty lucky. But like you
Speaker 8: were saying, I do remember not only not recognizing people,
Speaker 8: but when you did finally see their face, you I
Speaker 8: would have invented a whole different face under their masks,
Speaker 8: just like yes, and that's what I thought they looked like.
Speaker 8: And then they take their mask off and you'd be like, oh, okay,
Speaker 8: you're not way off. Yeah, you're not a person who
Speaker 8: I've been having conversations with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember I had a first a d I
Speaker 1: was working with for a long time, and I just
Speaker 1: never saw the bottom I did, never saw anything but
Speaker 1: his eyes. And then I saw him without his mask.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's not that was not my guest, No, nothing.
Speaker 8: Surprise mustache has shown up and yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Want to ask you about this set. Is the set
Speaker 1: for this show enormous, because if it's not, they sure
Speaker 1: do make it seem endless and enormous.
Speaker 8: And is it an homage to THX that I don't know.
Speaker 8: That would be a question for Dan and Ben. It
Speaker 8: is pretty enormous. Like the hallways, there are a lot
Speaker 8: of hallways, even more even more this season than last season.
Speaker 8: But it's also it's like a labyrinth where all the hallways.
Speaker 8: Sometimes it'll be a doorway and then sometimes they'll put
Speaker 8: in a wall there, or sometimes you could get around
Speaker 8: this way, but then now you know, so it's always
Speaker 8: moving and changing kind of like you know it really
Speaker 8: it is sort of disorienting, like being in the office
Speaker 8: on the show. It it really helps you be like, I.
Speaker 1: Can't find how they put that all together. Because I
Speaker 1: want to point the audience to the opening shot of
Speaker 1: season two, which if you just watching the show, you
Speaker 1: might go, wow, that's cool, but go watch a video
Speaker 1: on YouTube about how they executed it. I mean, it
Speaker 1: just it's hard to describe vibe what they did. And
Speaker 1: I saw it. I was so interested because I'm a
Speaker 1: film geek. I saw an interview with Ben and talking
Speaker 1: about how they shot this opening shot over the course
Speaker 1: of about five months or so. The whole time they
Speaker 1: were working on the show. They would just get little bits,
Speaker 1: but it's all made to look like a Wonner with
Speaker 1: these stitches. You can't see. Some of it's a robotic arm,
Speaker 1: some of it's running with a tiny little Sony FX three.
Speaker 1: It's all these techniques that they used, but they but
Speaker 1: and a lot of its effects and Adam running on
Speaker 1: a treadmill and just all this stuff. But it's stitched
Speaker 1: together so seamlessly that it looks like this epic Wonner.
Speaker 2: And it's just a shot where his face kind of
Speaker 2: shakes hand and then he starts running through the hallways
Speaker 2: and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Fuck, And I will say, while we were shooting the season,
Speaker 8: I don't think I really knew that they were shooting
Speaker 8: that over the course of so many months. So there
Speaker 8: were days where I would just come in and Adam
Speaker 8: would be running on a treadmill and I like, what
Speaker 8: is what is happening here? I did not know that
Speaker 8: they were like working all on that one that one shot.
Speaker 1: Basically, it's so I mean, the show is beautifully photographed,
Speaker 1: every like the framing and Ben Ben and your dps.
Speaker 1: Does Ben direct every episode or noo uh?
Speaker 8: He directs. He directed five of the ten in season
Speaker 8: two and I think six of the nine in season one,
Speaker 8: so he directs about half quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Well everyone, everyone, uh, everyone creating the look in addition
Speaker 1: to the wonderful actors, but the look, the way it shot,
Speaker 1: the cinematography, and just just really cool, unique choices, and
Speaker 1: anyone who's interested in film, first of all, watched Severance,
Speaker 1: but also check out that shot because it it's just
Speaker 1: kind of like groundbreaking. I thought in how you can
Speaker 1: hide stitches in these days and make it look make
Speaker 1: things look like the camera never cut. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just really really cool.
Speaker 3: Zach did you have it?
Speaker 1: I'm an Ilma worked on that. Sorry, go ahead, Donald,
Speaker 1: you need to see Zach Brafforzac Cherry.
Speaker 2: Zach Cherry. Did you have a favorite Ben Stiller project
Speaker 2: before auditioning for this?
Speaker 8: I mean a lot of them. I love I love
Speaker 8: Meet to Parents, I love Tropic Thunder. I also I
Speaker 8: low key, even though I'm like a little too old
Speaker 8: for this, I love The Night at the Museum movies
Speaker 8: like they they came out when I was already, Like,
Speaker 8: you know, this isn't for me necessarily, but the scenes
Speaker 8: with him and that little monkey are are particular favorites
Speaker 8: for me.
Speaker 2: I have two movies that I love of his, and
Speaker 2: not a lot of people say these movies. One is
Speaker 2: Flirting with Disaster, which I think is fucking a phenomenal movie.
Speaker 2: And then he directed a movie with him Winona Ryder,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, how I forget Ethan Hawk? Janine Garofalo
Speaker 2: Reality Bites, Reality Bites, Oh, that's one of my favorites
Speaker 2: of his from back in the day. And then the
Speaker 2: Cable Guy also, man, like, holy shit, dude, who knew.
Speaker 2: I mean, the dude's a genius though. Man, he's a
Speaker 2: comedic genius in a lot of ways and tells great stories.
Speaker 2: Was that in the back of your mind when you auditioned.
Speaker 2: Was that something that you were like, I gotta get
Speaker 2: this part because I know I'm gonna work with somebody
Speaker 2: who has a real voice in Hollywood.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it was definitely like exciting, and he's
Speaker 8: someone who I would say, you know, comedically, has had
Speaker 8: a big impact on me. You know, like I watched
Speaker 8: all of his stuff coming up as I was kind
Speaker 8: of like figuring out what I thought was funny. So
Speaker 8: it was very like pressure isn't the exact word, but
Speaker 8: it's sort of surreal. You're like, oh, here I am
Speaker 8: in this room with this guy who is like a
Speaker 8: part of my mental makeup, you know, and then for
Speaker 8: it to be on such a strange show that isn't
Speaker 8: really necessarily a comedy all the time and is often
Speaker 8: not at all. I do sometimes when we're doing our
Speaker 8: sort of like serious stuff, I do sometimes wish I
Speaker 8: could get to work with him on like one of
Speaker 8: his pure kind of silly comedies to see what he
Speaker 8: you know, to see if he operates in the same way.
Speaker 8: But yeah, that was definitely in my mind.
Speaker 1: As as when you put it like that, it's like,
Speaker 1: here's a guy who's, you know, one of the most
Speaker 1: successful comic actor directors alive, and he chose you to
Speaker 1: be the comic relief of the show.
Speaker 5: That's pretty cool.
Speaker 8: It is he he his trust in me has been
Speaker 8: very very meaningful, very cool, very very exciting.
Speaker 3: Let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. Daniel and Joelle,
Speaker 1: I know you're big fans of the show. Do you
Speaker 1: have any severance questions? You'd like to ask Zach. He's
Speaker 1: not going to give you spoilers, just so you know.
Speaker 8: I might.
Speaker 5: You might.
Speaker 9: Oh shit, Joel, do you want to go first? I
Speaker 9: definitely got one, but if you want to go, I also.
Speaker 4: Have Uh, okay, yeah I can go. Thank you, Daniel.
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you. You have a big hero
Speaker 4: moment towards the end of season one, and I think
Speaker 4: for actors, getting moments like that is kind of rare
Speaker 4: and really juicy, unless you're like an action star and
Speaker 4: you're constantly kind of fed those. And I wondered for you,
Speaker 4: you know, did you get a heads up about that
Speaker 4: or did you learn about it when you were reading
Speaker 4: this script and then when you stepped in to perform it.
Speaker 4: Did you feel any pressure? Was it different for you
Speaker 4: for a difference. I don't want to spoil it for
Speaker 4: people who haven't seen, but it's like a very epic,
Speaker 4: cool moment that's sort of everything that's been built up
Speaker 4: in the seas and hinges on.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you know, the really cool thing about
Speaker 8: this show for me, especially as someone who has sort
Speaker 8: of my bread and butter, has been like Spiderman do
Speaker 8: flip type roles where I pop in and I, you know,
Speaker 8: say something silly and then I'm kind of out of there.
Speaker 8: It has been really cool on this show to get
Speaker 8: to do more than that, so I I do still
Speaker 8: get to have a lot of fun and and have
Speaker 8: a lot of funny stuff going on, but they really
Speaker 8: have like allowed me to uh show some different sides
Speaker 8: of things I've just never been asked to do before.
Speaker 8: And yeah, that moment was I think I knew about
Speaker 8: it pretty early on and it was cool and exciting.
Speaker 8: And then the process of shooting it was a little
Speaker 8: difficult because it's like it's a situation that my character
Speaker 8: is exhibiting a lot of endurance that that's what I'll say,
Speaker 8: a non spoilery way of talking about it. And like
Speaker 8: obviously I didn't have to really be there for the
Speaker 8: entire time, but it did. I was extremely sore the
Speaker 8: next day.
Speaker 1: All Right, Dale, are you going to ask your fast
Speaker 1: food question?
Speaker 5: That's what I know.
Speaker 9: I was telling the guys earlier that as well as
Speaker 9: a big fan of your appearance on all these TV shows,
Speaker 9: I'm a huge dough Boys fan and you are just
Speaker 9: you know, a top tier guest already on.
Speaker 1: The appreciate that but Dan Daniel, sorry, but before you
Speaker 1: move on, dough Boys is about fast food, yes, and Zach,
Speaker 1: are you as fast food aficionado?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 8: I'm I guess honestly, yeah, I was gonna try. I
Speaker 8: was gonna try and say no.
Speaker 1: But can we ask you? I know this isn't a
Speaker 1: fast food pious. So what's your like if your go
Speaker 1: to you can have any meal at any of the restaurants,
Speaker 1: what would it be?
Speaker 8: Taco Bell is for sure, for sure my go to.
Speaker 8: I'm a few years ago I started, I became vegetarian,
Speaker 8: and so Taco Bell is like the number especially for vegetarians,
Speaker 8: the number one spot. They'll let you swap beans or
Speaker 8: potatoes for anything at Taco Bell. So even if they're like,
Speaker 8: we have this chicken enchilada that only the only it's
Speaker 8: on the menu says chicken, you can go in there
Speaker 8: and put in beans.
Speaker 9: Exciting for you vegetarians who want us a very customizable place.
Speaker 5: All right, go ahead.
Speaker 9: Yeah, my question was related to severance though, So you know,
Speaker 9: the image of the office in TV and media is
Speaker 9: like very well worn territory, and your role is the
Speaker 9: comic relief is is always one of the best parts
Speaker 9: of the kind of office setting. And my question for
Speaker 9: you is what parts of your character were inspired by
Speaker 9: other kind of office comics, and what parts of your
Speaker 9: character do you think were original creation from you.
Speaker 8: Hmm, that's a good question. You know, there was nothing
Speaker 8: I was like intentionally pulling from. Honestly, it was more
Speaker 8: it was more just pulled from like a type a
Speaker 8: type of annoying guy that I know, you know, like like, yeah,
Speaker 8: I think there's just there's certain types of guys who
Speaker 8: who just have a level of confidence that so outstrips
Speaker 8: their level of not knowledge or really you know. Yeah,
Speaker 8: I just found that kind of interesting that this guy who,
Speaker 8: especially this character who literally is essentially a child, like
Speaker 8: he doesn't really know anything, but he's so sure of
Speaker 8: the things that he believes he knows. I just thought
Speaker 8: that was like really fun to to kind of play
Speaker 8: around with that.
Speaker 3: You just described me to a team.
Speaker 2: I don't really know anything, but I'm so passionate about
Speaker 2: things I believe.
Speaker 8: I mean me too.
Speaker 1: It's funny because I've been watching the Office and it's
Speaker 1: a funny thing to bounce back and forth between the
Speaker 1: Office and Severance.
Speaker 5: I think that's what you're leading to.
Speaker 1: Dane is obviously completely different tones, but there is overlap
Speaker 1: in some places that that's that's that's pretty funny with
Speaker 1: them cubicles.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'm sure that was intentional on Ben and
Speaker 8: Dan's part. Like I do know, Ben has talked a
Speaker 8: lot about how he he wanted to ground it in
Speaker 8: the like office sitcom world very much.
Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, you all.
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask about having John Taturo as like
Speaker 4: a scene partner. I think he's like one of the
Speaker 4: all time great It's like when you see like he's
Speaker 4: gonna be in a project, you're like, oh, this is
Speaker 4: about to be elevated as hell. Like he's so funny,
Speaker 4: but he gets the drab stuff, and you guys have
Speaker 4: some really like both intense and comedic moments here. I think,
Speaker 4: like you, he's so good at swinging back and forth
Speaker 4: between like very intense drama and like hysterics. What's so
Speaker 4: like working with such an icon?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's like, so I feel so lucky
Speaker 8: on this show because John and Ben and Adam all
Speaker 8: have such a history of of comedic chops but also
Speaker 8: you know, other things. So it's been really cool to
Speaker 8: kind of like, uh, I don't know if I I
Speaker 8: don't know if they have taken me under their wing,
Speaker 8: but I've put myself under their wing.
Speaker 5: I think they've taken you under their way.
Speaker 8: I wiggled my way under there. And I think John, especially,
Speaker 8: I've just like learned so much from about He's so
Speaker 8: prepared and he's so professional, but he's also so good
Speaker 8: to be around on set, and he takes care of
Speaker 8: everyone so well. It's been very amazing working with him,
Speaker 8: and with him in particular, I'm like obsessed with the
Speaker 8: show Monk which John appears on but only in two
Speaker 8: and a half episodes, So like I was like super
Speaker 8: geeked out about that and and had to pretend I
Speaker 8: wasn't obsessive about it for like a month, and then
Speaker 8: finally I was like, hey, John, I love the show
Speaker 8: Monk Man. You have no idea. And I started talking
Speaker 8: to him about there's all these novels that came out
Speaker 8: where his character continues on and I was like, they
Speaker 8: wrote these books and your care and he was like, Okay,
Speaker 8: thank you.
Speaker 2: About does he even remember being all his roles?
Speaker 8: You're like, he definitely remembers being on it, because I
Speaker 8: think him and Tony Shaloubar are close, but he does
Speaker 8: not care about it as much as I do.
Speaker 1: Is he a lot like the character he plays? I've
Speaker 1: never met him, but I wonder if you, like I.
Speaker 1: Christopher Walkin's a guy who I always was in a
Speaker 1: similar place with, Like I just adore him, and then
Speaker 1: I finally got to work with him, I go, oh it'
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same guy.
Speaker 8: I think definitely in some ways, in the sense that,
Speaker 8: like you know, his character, there's like a gentleness about him.
Speaker 8: And I do think that John has that that gentleness,
Speaker 8: which which I don't. You know, a lot of his
Speaker 8: roles are not that gentle. A lot of his roles are,
Speaker 8: you know, sort of very different than that. But but
Speaker 8: I do think that part of him is is for
Speaker 8: sure in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so interesting to watch. You and I share
Speaker 1: something in common in that we both well yours. I
Speaker 1: don't know how long ago you adopted a rescue.
Speaker 8: Pup, about a year ago, a little over a year ago.
Speaker 1: I just did myself. I foster failed, I thought I
Speaker 1: was going to successfully foster, and then I fell in love.
Speaker 1: But how's that going for you? How's having a dog
Speaker 1: in the city?
Speaker 5: Are you are? You're in Brooklyn or Bushwick.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, I want to bring be able to bring
Speaker 1: my dog back and forth. But it's it's a tricky
Speaker 1: to have a dog in the city, isn't it.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and we also we have we also
Speaker 8: have other things in common. I thought I didn't know
Speaker 8: what you were going to say because we share the
Speaker 8: same name. I also grew up in New Jersey. So
Speaker 8: the hits are just really adding.
Speaker 1: Up from Jersey with a rusty dog who's funny as fuck.
Speaker 5: Just kidding about the last one.
Speaker 3: Do you want to cut the last part?
Speaker 1: I don't want to brag, brag, double.
Speaker 8: It, double down. It's but it's it's great. She's great.
Speaker 8: She she came up from Kentucky. Uh is really all
Speaker 8: we know about her. So it was like a big
Speaker 8: adjustment for her. For sure, the noises of the city
Speaker 8: she was not a fan of. Yeah, the people of
Speaker 8: the city. She was not a fan of the dogs
Speaker 8: of the city. She was not not a fan of.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm worried about, is like the adjustment to
Speaker 1: like so much stimuli for my dog, who'd be like,
Speaker 1: what what the fuck is going on?
Speaker 8: You know, we've had her for a little over a
Speaker 8: year now, and it's like gotten so much better. She
Speaker 8: now has a little group of dog friends that she
Speaker 8: sees every morning that she's so excited for, and she
Speaker 8: doesn't she used to. I mean, I'm shocked she's been
Speaker 8: asleep this whole time. Six months ago, it would have
Speaker 8: been impossible for me to do a podcast with her
Speaker 8: in the house because any noise she was like losing
Speaker 8: her shit. So the progress is the truth is right here.
Speaker 1: My rescue pup is looking at me like if I
Speaker 1: could put subtitles onto her face, it would be I'm
Speaker 1: so fucking bored. I mean to do something.
Speaker 8: In some ways, that's a win.
Speaker 5: I know, my dog.
Speaker 1: I feel like guilty because I like want to I
Speaker 1: realize this is not healthy, and this is I'd have
Speaker 1: to work on this if I was a parent. But
Speaker 1: it's it's like I want to be like, am I
Speaker 1: being fun enough for you? Like, I know we just
Speaker 1: went on a walk, but like and I know I
Speaker 1: rescued you from a horrible existence, but like, should I
Speaker 1: be entertaining you more?
Speaker 8: Like I relate to that thoroughly, thoroughly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how did.
Speaker 3: You come with the name Shrek?
Speaker 8: You know, my wife and I for We've lived in
Speaker 8: this apartment for a while and for a long time, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, we kind of weren't supposed to have pets,
Speaker 8: and my wife had these two stuffed animals that I,
Speaker 8: without consulting with her, named Shrek and Donkey, and I
Speaker 8: would just be like, Hey, that's Shrek, and a's Donkey.
Speaker 8: And then eventually we started kind of joking that when
Speaker 8: we did get pets, we would name the first two,
Speaker 8: no matter what they were, Shrek and Donkey. And we
Speaker 8: followed through on that you have a donkey. We don't
Speaker 8: have a donkey yet. Someday, someday Donkey will will appear.
Speaker 1: Well, Zach, thank you for taking the time in. I'm
Speaker 1: so happy for you. You made me laugh a lot.
Speaker 1: I've seen your work before, and then when I saw
Speaker 1: you got this big show, I was just really happy
Speaker 1: for you. And I haven't not caught up yet, but
Speaker 1: I was watching the first episode of season two and
Speaker 1: just laughing at everything you said, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this show is so interesting, and I'm so happy for
Speaker 1: you that you get to be the comic relief and
Speaker 1: you're really really great on it.
Speaker 8: Thank you so much, and truly I am I'm not joking.
Speaker 8: I'm such huge fans of both of you are. Scrubs
Speaker 8: is one of my just like rewatch rotation shows. So
Speaker 8: this is truly very very surreal and excult.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 1: And if we do a reboot and Severance is over,
Speaker 1: maybe you'll come play with us and be even if it's.
Speaker 3: Not over, just come hang out for like a couple.
Speaker 1: Of ARC or something. That'd be amazing. Zach Cherry, everybody
Speaker 1: check out Severance. If you're not watching Severance, what's going
Speaker 1: on with you? It's really interesting Apple TV? Really interesting?
Speaker 1: And that's it.
Speaker 5: Thanks dude, Thank you.
Speaker 1: He's so talented, very very talented. He rules, and he's
Speaker 1: just so naturally funny.
Speaker 5: You know, he's just.
Speaker 2: Kind of I like that when people don't have to
Speaker 2: put on a character or anything like that and just
Speaker 2: can be themselves and talk, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like he looks like could be a really fun guy
Speaker 1: to hang out with him, just like watch TV and joke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, any Taco Bell.
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's a vegetarian who eats taco Bell.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's I know you can have beans,
Speaker 1: but it's still bizarre. What of their fast food places
Speaker 1: can you eat as a vegetarian.
Speaker 9: A lot, but I will say, you know, it's one
Speaker 9: of the best. Taco Bell is definitely one of the
Speaker 9: best for serving vegetarian.
Speaker 1: I remember I don't need it in fucking decade, probably,
Speaker 1: but I remember thinking of bean and cheese burrito was
Speaker 1: pretty fantastic.
Speaker 5: From Taco Bell.
Speaker 3: It's delicious, It's still us.
Speaker 4: It's a magnificent.
Speaker 3: You don't need the beef. You don't need any of
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 5: Just beef is so sketch. I don't know. You don't
Speaker 5: get me wrong.
Speaker 1: I my problem fast food really is I stopped eating gluten,
Speaker 1: so I can't really eat any of the buns or anything.
Speaker 1: And but I could probably eat a flour tortilla from Tacobout.
Speaker 3: What's the last time you had an in and out
Speaker 3: Burger bro.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I I I stopped eating gluten,
Speaker 1: and now when you eat gluten, if you stop, it's
Speaker 1: even worse.
Speaker 5: I just get it.
Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get a stomach ache and cramps
Speaker 1: and feel horrible. So there's some like, um, sorry, what's
Speaker 1: that other fancy one shake shack has a gluten free
Speaker 1: bun that's not too shabby. So I can have shakeshack
Speaker 1: in and out. I think I've gone and gotten. They
Speaker 1: do a lettuce.
Speaker 9: Rapt protein style.
Speaker 1: I love, Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5: I love the.
Speaker 1: Fast food burger every now and then. But when if
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get a stomach ache from the pawn,
Speaker 1: it sucks, so it's not worth it.
Speaker 3: I remember you were a huge ice cream fan. Can
Speaker 3: you still do that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ice cream is not gluten, baby girl.
Speaker 3: But it's lactose.
Speaker 5: Doesn't have a dairy problem. Okay, I love a fuck
Speaker 5: up a milkshake. Can you kidding me?
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to say.
Speaker 1: That's when I was my hangover treat would be shake
Speaker 1: shack of like a double shake shack with a double
Speaker 1: burger with a double stack with a shake they have
Speaker 1: like an oreo cookie and ship.
Speaker 4: Mmm.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I'm getting a boner word.
Speaker 3: Right word.
Speaker 5: I'm trying.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to like eat healthy now, But as I'm
Speaker 1: like talking about shake shack, I'm getting all worked up.
Speaker 1: I'm getting hot and bothered.
Speaker 3: Doude, should we talk OnlyFans?
Speaker 1: Why do you want to talk about only fans?
Speaker 3: Because I'm really thinking that maybe you're.
Speaker 1: Thinking about doing only fans for real.
Speaker 3: The bid I need to raise some money for this,
Speaker 3: but you're serious. We listen watching your feet. Well my
Speaker 3: feet are gnarly, dude.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, somebody's going to be into that.
Speaker 3: Somebody's going to be my shacked up feet.
Speaker 5: People love feet.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Did you get any more uh collars about Donald's only fans?
Speaker 1: Because that guy from Hilarious and I wondered if he actually.

Speaker 4: would absolutely love to come on. So I'm I'm plotting
Speaker 4: and scheming and planning.
Speaker 5: Yea, when you have him on, I.

Speaker 2: do to have a successful only fans.
Speaker 3: I don't have to shout Donald.

Speaker 4: Okay, Bella Thorne had an only fan Batti Black China.
Speaker 1: Okay, they got only fans?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Or would Casey allow you to subscribe to only fans?
Speaker 3: I don't think she would.
Speaker 5: She be pissed if you were spending money on only fans.
Speaker 2: I think the moment I start spending money on my porn,
Speaker 2: she'd be like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: Dude?
Speaker 1: Right, she'd be pissed. You're allowed to watch card, You're
Speaker 1: allowed to watch.
Speaker 3: I don't have a secret card. I'm allowed to watch porn.

Speaker 1: But if she saw the credit if she saw on
Speaker 1: the credit card the only fans charges, she'd be pissed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like if I'm giving tips too?
Speaker 1: Right, if the credit card bill came through with only
Speaker 1: fans tips, she'd be.
Speaker 3: Like, what the fuck is this?

Speaker 1: I see, so you give her a chance before you
Speaker 1: want to give her a chance to give you give
Speaker 1: her a chance to step up, and if she doesn't
