Speaker 1: was absolutely incredible. I mean it really was you three pete,
Speaker 1: not once, not twice, but three times, and they did
Speaker 1: that twice, three pet How hard is it to three pete? Davo.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be one of the most
Speaker 1: difficult things in sports. It never happens. It's like three
Speaker 1: seasons of like writing unicorns and uh, you know it
Speaker 1: might have been even a longer run head Uh Michael
Speaker 1: Jordan not taking some time off to play bassba go
Speaker 1: play baseball, which is just the most like O G
Speaker 1: gangster move in the history of sports. One championships here
Speaker 1: on board, let me go prove I can do it
Speaker 1: over here. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Well, speaking of

Speaker 1: the power of three. We're talking about three peets. He's
Speaker 1: our third guest. All right, well let's I think it's
Speaker 1: time Davoyes. Okay, So our next guest is from Chicago.

Speaker 1: favorite Serendipity Day. Feel free to make fun of me.
Speaker 1: You like a good rom com? I do love a
Speaker 1: good rom com to TV shows like Mr Selfridge and
Speaker 1: his amazing portrayal of Ari on Entourage. Please welcome the
Speaker 1: talented Jeremy Piven. Yes, Jeremy, how are you doing? Thank you?
Speaker 1: One of Chicago's favorite sons as well. And not only
Speaker 1: h is he all those things, but he's also in
Speaker 1: doably talented theater actor, and he's been doing stand up
Speaker 1: comedy all over the country up until the pandemic. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: but he was playing you were doing how many gigs
Speaker 1: a year? Jarre Um between two and uh fifty And
Speaker 1: the last show I was doing was as the pandemic
Speaker 1: was was going down in Dallas, and and we were
Speaker 1: sold out every single night, and they were just like,
Speaker 1: we don't care about rowing up. They're like, we'll shoot Sank.
Speaker 1: I'll shoot him in the Sorry, my am. I breaking
Speaker 1: all the equipment. That's what I do. That's what I did.
Speaker 1: By the way, is this a visual medium. I know
Speaker 1: it's a podcast. It's just we're just gonna do audio
Speaker 1: for now. Oh good thing that I spent all the
Speaker 1: time working on the background see talented and by and
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm from I'm born and raised in
Speaker 1: in Lists and he just nailed that on the head
Speaker 1: of what it what it's like down there, and everybody
Speaker 1: being like, fun Corona, We're still going. Yes, it's pretty incredible.
Speaker 1: You know. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was
Speaker 1: going to be an empty room, but it was packed.
Speaker 1: It was crazy and we had a good time. And uh,
Speaker 1: and then ever since then, I've been locked in my house. Um. Well,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Dave and I were just talking at the top
Speaker 1: of the show about the Last Dance, Uh, the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bulls documentary on ESPN and the fact of three peting
Speaker 1: and how hard it is to three p uh. I
Speaker 1: find it insanely impressive and a very rare feet. We
Speaker 1: should have looked up the stats on how many other
Speaker 1: actors have done this, but you you won three three Dave,
Speaker 1: not not two three three Emmys in a row. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which is just absolutely insanity. And so on this show,
Speaker 1: what we like to do is we kind of like
Speaker 1: to ask a hybrid of questions and put you know,
Speaker 1: actors and athletes shoes and athletes and actors shoes. And
Speaker 1: our question at the top for you is you have
Speaker 1: three pet What do you think is harder to do
Speaker 1: an actor to three pet or a professional team to
Speaker 1: three pete. Well, all actors want to be athletes, so
Speaker 1: I would I would say that it's probably harder. God,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great question. Um, you would probably
Speaker 1: you know that you'd probably have to look up the stats.
Speaker 1: The stats are? You know, I have no idea. I
Speaker 1: know that there's you know, Brian Cranston did it. Um,
Speaker 1: there are a couple of actors that have done it,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how many athletes have done it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned the last dance and being from Chicago,
Speaker 1: I couldn't be more proud of my bulls. And you know,
Speaker 1: that they doubled down on their three pete. UM would
Speaker 1: probably be, uh, you know, an accomplishment that everyone's chasing.
Speaker 1: And it's really cool for us to see what I
Speaker 1: grew up watching, which is, you know, I believe a
Speaker 1: feat that I don't know if we will ever be
Speaker 1: even anyone will come close to um, which is what
Speaker 1: the Bulls did and what Michael Jordan did. You guys
Speaker 1: are able to see in real time right now what
Speaker 1: he accomplished in the nineties, because you know he was
Speaker 1: he was a guy that came in there and as
Speaker 1: a rookie was averaging twenty eight points a game, and
Speaker 1: then he put he put sixty three points up against
Speaker 1: Larry Bird and the Celtics while they were yeah, when
Speaker 1: they were when they were crushing it, and you know,
Speaker 1: he was a guy we have guys now, and no
Speaker 1: disrespect to anyone in the game right now. But I
Speaker 1: bet if you even asked Michael Jordan's what load management means,
Speaker 1: he would probably think you were talking about something dirty,
Speaker 1: you know, low what is load? Load management is when
Speaker 1: you get paid and you don't have to show up,
Speaker 1: And that's for him. You saw how frustrated he was.
Speaker 1: They were limiting his minutes and he was ready to
Speaker 1: kill someone because he said, what's the point of playing
Speaker 1: if we're not allowed to win? And you know, at
Speaker 1: one point they gave a temperance, that chance that he
Speaker 1: could ruin his career, and he said, you know, let
Speaker 1: me at them. And he was just a really rare
Speaker 1: bird that we were. We were lucky to have. The
Speaker 1: clip that was amazing is when they showed how they
Speaker 1: pulled him from the game with like fourteen seconds left
Speaker 1: because he had played his fourteen minutes and he wanted
Speaker 1: to get back in there and they wouldn't let him
Speaker 1: because they were trying to get better seating for the draft.
Speaker 1: And then Paxson hit that one game winner to get
Speaker 1: them in the playoffs, and it was amazing. That was
Speaker 1: when they ended up going and playing the somethings then,
Speaker 1: as amazing as the action that he had and how
Speaker 1: angry he was, he was just he was just a
Speaker 1: different breed. Um. Well, I actually think that, Um, just
Speaker 1: to circle back to the question, my opinion is, I
Speaker 1: actually think he would be harder for for an actor
Speaker 1: to three p And the reason I say that is
Speaker 1: because Dave made a great point earlier is that it's
Speaker 1: it's a voting process, right, so these athletes can somewhat
Speaker 1: control it. But I feel like for somebody like, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll take you Jeremy as as an example, and
Speaker 1: it's like, after you get it once and you get
Speaker 1: it twice, I feel like there's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of skew. I mean, you did three p but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are like, let's just give
Speaker 1: it to somebody else, even though he deserves it, Let's
Speaker 1: give it to somebody else. And athletes they don't do that.
Speaker 1: They want to They want to win every single year
Speaker 1: and cut your throat. You know, it's not being voted on.
Speaker 1: They control what happens. An actor in that situation can't
Speaker 1: control it. So it's just an incredible accomplishment. No, you're
Speaker 1: you're You're absolutely right. Um. They control their destiny at
Speaker 1: all costs. And Paul Newman even was frustrated. I think
Speaker 1: he went over seven or something at the Oscars and
Speaker 1: he that's why he went into racing. He was like,
Speaker 1: I want to win something that I can control, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, he which is which is absolutely incredible. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I have so many great bulls stories because you know,
Speaker 1: I was growing up watching them. Remember one year, UM,
Speaker 1: when they were going for their six title UM, I
Speaker 1: was hosting the Chicago Film Critics Awards and I got
Speaker 1: a press pass and I went backstage. Backstage, I went
Speaker 1: into the locker room and everyone was surrounding Jordan's and
Speaker 1: they all asked. You know, it was just incredible to
Speaker 1: be a part of that. And you know, the wave
Speaker 1: of questions came, a hundred and sixteen questions at once,
Speaker 1: and then I just waited and I went right before
Speaker 1: everyone and I said, have you let the healing process
Speaker 1: begin since you were snubbed at the Oscars for Space
Speaker 1: Jam and he was He was like, oh, man, oh
Speaker 1: I know you you're a clown. Man. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan knows who I am. It was amazing was
Speaker 1: that that was the first time you met him. I'm
Speaker 1: trying you know what that was the first time I
Speaker 1: met him because I knew the crew UM and every
Speaker 1: you know, every time I went out, they would always say, oh, man,
Speaker 1: you just missed m j UM. So I got really
Speaker 1: frustrated with that. But the world works out because UM.
Speaker 1: One time there was the opening of the Atlantis Hotel
Speaker 1: and Dave. I didn't know you then, but it was
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder's birthday and MJ was there and I connected
Speaker 1: with him and it was incredible, and he invited me
Speaker 1: on his boat and I just couldn't believe it. So
Speaker 1: I'm at the hotel and I jumped in one of
Speaker 1: the cars from the hotel and it was like it
Speaker 1: was a little stranger. Was a minivan and you know,
Speaker 1: driving with the guy and he was it was a
Speaker 1: Sunday and he was blasting, you know, some church service
Speaker 1: and I'm Jewish and it was interesting because he had it.
Speaker 1: He had it cranked up to eleven right, and it
Speaker 1: was really loud. And then we get we get to
Speaker 1: the boat and I can see m J and U
Speaker 1: and I was like, thanks so much, man, and he
Speaker 1: goes you on me twenty and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't have I I was in my board shorts,
Speaker 1: you know, I was gonna hang out the boys and
Speaker 1: the but I was like, I don't have any money.
Speaker 1: I thought it was part of the hotel. He goes,
Speaker 1: no man now, and he grabbed a whole to me
Speaker 1: and he and he started calling the police and and
Speaker 1: he locked the doors and he wouldn't let me go,
Speaker 1: and I can see m J, I can see Spike,
Speaker 1: Lee and Ramadra shot on the boat and I'm late
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what am I gonna do? And a
Speaker 1: bus passes by us and I waved to them and
Speaker 1: they're all pointing. They go, oh my god, they screamed,
Speaker 1: and I get out of the car and I waved
Speaker 1: them down and some people knew who I was, and
Speaker 1: I asked for twenty. They gave me a twenty. I
Speaker 1: gave the dude to twenty, ran to the boat, spent
Speaker 1: the entire day with m J and Spike and we
Speaker 1: all we did all day long was fire questions at
Speaker 1: m J and asked him what that run was like.
Speaker 1: And I got it all. So I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm totally prepped for the last dance. No, I mean
Speaker 1: it was. It was. And you know the reaction that
Speaker 1: you said that he had when he was like, I
Speaker 1: know you, I know you. It's cool to see the
Speaker 1: human side of him because I remember, I think when
Speaker 1: you introduced me to him at the NBA All Star
Speaker 1: Game in New York. I remember I brought Chuck Ladell
Speaker 1: that night, and I remember how funny it was to
Speaker 1: see him geek out over Chuck Ladell. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you remember, he was like rubbing his head. He
Speaker 1: like he couldn't believe he's like the Iceman, the iceman,
Speaker 1: Like he couldn't believe that this this fighter that he revered,
Speaker 1: you know, was it just in his presence? It was
Speaker 1: really cool? Yeah, man, it's I'm sure that was probably
Speaker 1: felt really good for Chuck to get that kind of
Speaker 1: love from the goat. All right, Jeremy, we're gonna take
Speaker 1: a quick break and we will be right back with
Speaker 1: more Hate Pal podcast. So now you know, I'm a
Speaker 1: Sixer fan. Unfortunately, so I haven't had I haven't had
Speaker 1: a lot of good times, neither of you Mavericks. You
Speaker 1: got one championship, So what was the the energy in
Speaker 1: the city like when that was going on. I mean,
Speaker 1: to be part of that city, the way that you are,
Speaker 1: the way that your family is, you guys are synonymous
Speaker 1: with Chicago. What was that like? I mean, what a
Speaker 1: what a run? Yeah? You know what, I will say
Speaker 1: a little not your Sixers. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this, but the only way they got that footage
Speaker 1: and the only way it's on the air right now
Speaker 1: is that MJ agreed to be filmed and they could
Speaker 1: have they can have access, but if they agreed that
Speaker 1: he could control the footage and say whenever, if ever,
Speaker 1: the footage gets out. And when they approached him finally
Speaker 1: the group that said let us please produce this and
Speaker 1: put it out, he MJ was combing over their credentials
Speaker 1: and he saw that he had done Alan Iverson's documentary
Speaker 1: and he said, you do this documentary and they were
Speaker 1: like they didn't know if it was a good thing
Speaker 1: or a bad thing, and they were like yeah, and
Speaker 1: he was like, I saw that three times. Man, I cried.
Speaker 1: So that's that's like the reason why one of the
Speaker 1: reasons one of the variables as to why he gave
Speaker 1: him the rights, why we even see the last dance.
Speaker 1: So so props to your boy, Allen Iverson. Yeah that's awesome,
Speaker 1: he said, I love that little dude. That sounds about right, No,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was, you know, this incredible energy. We
Speaker 1: just we knew how lucky we were to be to
Speaker 1: be able to go to the stadium which turned into
Speaker 1: the United Center and and to watch MJ live and
Speaker 1: Chicago to this day is an incredible sports town, and
Speaker 1: and we love them and we revered them, and um,
Speaker 1: we're very loyal fans. And the energy you know, I
Speaker 1: mean they're still running off that energy from that from
Speaker 1: that time. I mean, I don't know if the Bulls
Speaker 1: have ever been the same. You know, we keep, we keep,
Speaker 1: we keep wanting them to be in hoping so so
Speaker 1: so if I told you that you could own one
Speaker 1: Chicago team right now, two thousand and twenty, and you
Speaker 1: will own that team for the next however many years,
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, You're gonna own the Chicago Bears, absolute hands town.
Speaker 1: Yeah wow. And how come how can you pick the
Speaker 1: Bears over over Cubs, the Bulls, the Socks, the Blackhawks.
Speaker 1: You know, I it's such a great tie to them,
Speaker 1: just because growing up watching them, Um, watching Walter Payton
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest football player of all time, and their
Speaker 1: legacy and you know what they did in eighty five
Speaker 1: and their history and Papa very Hallis and and all
Speaker 1: those great players over the years and the tradition that
Speaker 1: those guys have have had and and they really care
Speaker 1: and they're trying to have a great team and um,
Speaker 1: they just got your boy from Philly at quarterback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was about that was my next question. I was
Speaker 1: about to say, so if Jeremy Piven, what were the owner,
Speaker 1: who who would you who would you vote for? I mean,
Speaker 1: I know that ultimately comes from probably the head coach,
Speaker 1: but the owner has a huge say. But who would
Speaker 1: you tell the head coach you'd want to start this year?
Speaker 1: Robinsky or or Fulls? Right? Yeah, yeah, Well that's that's
Speaker 1: what I mean. They've obviously invested in Traubinsky, and and
Speaker 1: he's been injured and we haven't seen him. He played
Speaker 1: thirteen games in college, so basically, if you were to
Speaker 1: add the games he's playing now, he's like a rookie UM,
Speaker 1: and he was injured. Lot of variables, and he's a
Speaker 1: really tough kid. And that's one of the great things.
Speaker 1: I love that you're asking that question because I want
Speaker 1: to be an owner. Um, because I'm I'm a frustrated athlete.
Speaker 1: And I was a very viciously mediocre player in high school.
Speaker 1: But the reason I was because I was only one
Speaker 1: of the only white boys on my team and I
Speaker 1: was in the backfield. But then they took me out
Speaker 1: because I didn't have a chance, and they put me
Speaker 1: on the line, you know, and you know, in a
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy eight pounds to play offensive guard was brutal.
Speaker 1: But I played all four years and you know, and
Speaker 1: you know what, there's nothing in this life like failure.
Speaker 1: I I highly suggested for everyone. No, no, I mean
Speaker 1: that because you know, it gets to you get a
Speaker 1: sense of who you are, and you know, that wasn't
Speaker 1: right for me and feeling like I could contribute and
Speaker 1: I had speed and I love playing that position and
Speaker 1: I wasn't allowed to play that in and so it
Speaker 1: was just a lot of failure for me. And it's
Speaker 1: one of the things that fuel me as an actor,
Speaker 1: um was was knowing what that what that defeat was like,
Speaker 1: and knowing what it was like to not be able
Speaker 1: to contribute. And so you know, I'm as an actor,
Speaker 1: you know, always leave my shield on the field, you know,
Speaker 1: overprepared everything I got. I'm to this day playing like
Speaker 1: you know, I got something to prove. And um, so
Speaker 1: that was an invaluable experience for me. But to answer
Speaker 1: your question, what I would do is I would I
Speaker 1: would have a very intense uh camp and I would
Speaker 1: just see, you know, what these guys are like, what
Speaker 1: kind of shape they're in? Who wants it more, who
Speaker 1: works better with that system, who's going to buy into
Speaker 1: that system and let them battle it out. You know,
Speaker 1: Travisky has got that number one spot and he knows
Speaker 1: the offense, and then like who's gonna bring it every
Speaker 1: day and who wants it and just think it's a
Speaker 1: It's a great way for those two guys two And
Speaker 1: you couldn't have picked a better quarterback because that guy
Speaker 1: was second team, his number was called the won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. In my opinion, there's no better guy to
Speaker 1: be in that position for the Bears than Nick Foleth. Well, man,
Speaker 1: I should be I should be running things. You should
Speaker 1: um But you know another uh, I think another thing
Speaker 1: that's important is who the team is going to rally around.
Speaker 1: You know, there's certain quarterbacks that for whatever reason, the
Speaker 1: team will just rally around them as opposed to as
Speaker 1: another quarterback. As he's saying, as the owner, he would
Speaker 1: he would throw this intense camp. And in the intense camp,
Speaker 1: obviously you're going to see the other the other players
Speaker 1: and who they're gravitating towards and who they're not. You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: they know Jared. I have a question in terms of
Speaker 1: you know, being a performer and comparing it to sports,
Speaker 1: What for you is personally is a bigger high. Having
Speaker 1: an incredible kick ass scene on a film set, having
Speaker 1: an incredible performance on a theater stage, or knocking him
Speaker 1: dead with a stand up comedy routine. What what for
Speaker 1: you is a bigger high? What do you get from? Well,
Speaker 1: the thing about stand up is it's immediate, and you
Speaker 1: know if a joke is landing, you know, in real time,
Speaker 1: right there in front of you, So that that that
Speaker 1: high is incredible and that's something that you've worked on
Speaker 1: on your own and you think it's funny, but do
Speaker 1: these people think it's funny? And so for that to
Speaker 1: land is incredible and um, so that you know, for
Speaker 1: the past few years has been an insane journey and
Speaker 1: I love it. Um And yet you can't take anything
Speaker 1: away from being on a film or TV set because
Speaker 1: there's nothing like that, because you know that you're documenting
Speaker 1: it and and and all these people are gonna see it,
Speaker 1: so they're they're all very different. But you know, there's
Speaker 1: nothing like having a joke land with a large audience.
Speaker 1: And it was probably cool because you had never seen
Speaker 1: me do stand up and you know, I've been trying
Speaker 1: to get you to come and to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I was kind of like holding off until I figured
Speaker 1: it out. Not that I haven't figured it out. I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it out. But it was cool
Speaker 1: to have you come to the laugh Factory and just
Speaker 1: see because you know me as an actor, but you
Speaker 1: never know. Someone could be funny in different roles or
Speaker 1: off camera or whatever, but you don't know if they're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to pull it off in front of
Speaker 1: an audience. So it was cool to have you in
Speaker 1: the house. Now. It was awesome, and well, I know
Speaker 1: he was an actor, and I knew he was a
Speaker 1: great storyteller. You tell great stories, so you know, to
Speaker 1: be able to see you the timing UH doing stand
Speaker 1: up was really was really awesome. It was really cool.
Speaker 1: Now now that we're talking about stand up, I have
Speaker 1: a question for you. If you were to create a
Speaker 1: starting five basketball team made up of five stand up comics,
Speaker 1: who would you're starting five B Who's who's your point guard,
Speaker 1: your guard, your forward, your center, your power forward. That's
Speaker 1: a great question. I think I think bringing up the ball,
Speaker 1: uh would be I think the backcourt would be Uh.
Speaker 1: Richard Pryor and Chappelle. You know right, Um, I think
Speaker 1: uh in the paint would be Sam Kinison. Wow, just pounding,
Speaker 1: pounding the paint, relentlessly, amped up, amped up on coke,
Speaker 1: with a with a with a background as a preacher,
Speaker 1: just ripping it up right at power forward would probably
Speaker 1: be Bill Burr, right, and then the other forward might
Speaker 1: be Eliza Sleshinger. And I don't mean to butcher her name,
Speaker 1: but she is a brilliant talk about a storyteller. She
Speaker 1: she is uh meticulous, has tons of energy, totally invests
Speaker 1: in her stories and uh so there there you have it.
Speaker 1: Do you have Do you have a couple that you
Speaker 1: would you would throw out there on your team? Um?
Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh, Richard Pryor is is for me.
Speaker 1: He's gotta be on everybody's comic Mount Rushmore. You know,
Speaker 1: I think he was just on a on another level. Um,
Speaker 1: I would love You know who I would love to
Speaker 1: see battle in the paint is uh Sam Kinison and
Speaker 1: Robin Williams. That's a great one. That would be a
Speaker 1: battle down low on the post for sure. But I
Speaker 1: really can't think of a better backcourt than Prior and Chappelle.
Speaker 1: Though pretty good. He nailed. How can that go wrong?
Speaker 1: I'd go I'd go Robin Williams in the middle. And
Speaker 1: by the by the way, it's so interesting you say
Speaker 1: Robin Williams because I'm editing this documentary that I I
Speaker 1: shot about the backstage life of attempting to be a
Speaker 1: stand up comic, and when you interviewed everyone, and when
Speaker 1: when you talk about actors who have transitioned into being
Speaker 1: stand up stand up comics, everyone goes blank, and Robin
Speaker 1: Williams is the lone name because you have to remember
Speaker 1: Robin's background as a Juilliard and he was an actor
Speaker 1: and you know, wasn't really getting it getting roles and
Speaker 1: needed to perform so desperately after Julliard got up on
Speaker 1: stage as a stand up and his is one of
Speaker 1: the few guys that broke the sound barrier and robins
Speaker 1: stand up it wasn't traditional and I am inspired by
Speaker 1: him because he would tell stories entering the characters. It
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily traditional stand up. So I love that you
Speaker 1: named him. Yeah, no, he was great, and I would
Speaker 1: like I was saying, a man, imagine the battle between
Speaker 1: Kinnison and Robin Williams and the paint Jeremy, No, it
Speaker 1: was I think I think their hearts would explode. I
Speaker 1: have to agree with you. No, I like that one
Speaker 1: Dave I had on my on my you know, we're
Speaker 1: calling it the starting I rounded up because I'm missing
Speaker 1: a couple. I put Whoopi Goldberg in there and on
Speaker 1: the team. That's what I only named. That's four. Okay,
Speaker 1: keep going here. But you know what, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've ever seen Sarah Silverman, she made she made
Speaker 1: crush as hard as anyone I've ever seen. Um Bob
Speaker 1: Saget had this charity and the whole cast from Enterage
Speaker 1: showed up and she got up on stage, and I
Speaker 1: don't think I've ever seen anything like it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, you know, she's a woman in her forties
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm not outing her, but she's she's
Speaker 1: literally been doing stand up for close to thirty years
Speaker 1: and she is straight up brilliant and yeah, and she
Speaker 1: just explores and has no fear, you know, into into
Speaker 1: the idea of that. At one point, she was just
Speaker 1: exploring her father taking a shower and the fact that
Speaker 1: she came from off her father's balls, and it was
Speaker 1: just madness. She she was just crushing it. That's a
Speaker 1: great one. That's that's a great one. And then my
Speaker 1: last one would be uh, he was kind of he
Speaker 1: would like to consider himself a member of the rat Pack.
Speaker 1: The Frank Snatra crew would be Don Rickles. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think Don Rickles. I've watched his interview show some a
Speaker 1: little bits. Yeah, that would be That would be my
Speaker 1: fifth guy I had. He would be sorry, sorry, I
Speaker 1: think Don Rickles would probably be the m v P
Speaker 1: of crowd work, because no one worked the crowd better
Speaker 1: than that guy. Yeah. Yeah, he'd be like when Rodman
Speaker 1: would come into the game Chicago and the crowd would
Speaker 1: go crazy. Imagine Don Rickles coming in. Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: had Chappelle. I actually had Eddie Murphy on my startup five,
Speaker 1: and then oh my god, I forgot Eddie Murphy, Chappelle,
Speaker 1: Robin Williams as well as you guys. And then I
Speaker 1: had Joe Coy, who I absolutely love. I think this
Speaker 1: guy is incredible. And then I had to put Nick
Speaker 1: Swartzon on there. I just love I love Schwartzon. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: he's very funny. All right, Jeremy, we're gonna take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we'll be right back. Um, Jeremy, I
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you. Okay, So, so oftentimes you have
Speaker 1: given these I don't know where where they pull from,
Speaker 1: and we can get to that in a second. But um,
Speaker 1: you have given these insanely amazing motivational uh speeches in
Speaker 1: your shows or movies. You've done in Entourage and getting
Speaker 1: the troops going, and then you did it in of
Speaker 1: course we go back to the beginning my favorite movie,
Speaker 1: Serendipity and not letting cusack, you know, really give up
Speaker 1: on on going after the girl, and you gave that great,
Speaker 1: you know speech about you and your relationship and it
Speaker 1: motivated him. So if it were halftime of a game, okay,
Speaker 1: any game, I don't care what game it is, but
Speaker 1: a professional sports it is halftime, and the guys are
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and Jeremy Piven has a chance
Speaker 1: to put any coach in that locker room for a
Speaker 1: motivational speech, living or dead, past, future present. Who's Jeremy
Speaker 1: Piven putting in that locker room to motivate the guys
Speaker 1: for the second half? Another great question, by the way, Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look the the obvious. The first person that
Speaker 1: came to mind is Phil Jackson of course, but but
Speaker 1: you know that's the obvious choice because the reality is
Speaker 1: he has eleven rings. Let let me, let me let
Speaker 1: that sink in eleven rings. I just was watching an
Speaker 1: interview with Steve Kurrny. What Steve Kerr said was they
Speaker 1: would be in film sessions for so long before a practice,
Speaker 1: sometimes two and a half hours before they started practicing.
Speaker 1: And he said he was honest with every player, including
Speaker 1: m j um and so you know, he didn't pick favorites.
Speaker 1: He gave it to you straight. And I had some
Speaker 1: really interesting talks with Phil and you know, he had
Speaker 1: to manage a lot of egos. Imagine navigating Kobe God
Speaker 1: rest his soul and and Shack. You know. Um, he
Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of guys and motivated them. So listen,
Speaker 1: I wasn't lucky enough because I have the vertical of
Speaker 1: Stephen Hawking. Um, but not no, not Stephen Hawking now,
Speaker 1: Stephen Hawking like when he was rolling around you know,
Speaker 1: in his then, not now when he's under the ground.
Speaker 1: There's a difference. I hope you're using that stand up,
Speaker 1: by the way, that's incredible. Now. In my in my
Speaker 1: stand up, I I said that I have the vertical
Speaker 1: of Chris Christie. But I thought that was weird, but
Speaker 1: then I thought I was fact saming, so I changed
Speaker 1: it up. By the way, by the way, we're so
Speaker 1: starved for sports. I literally just fought the ups guy
Speaker 1: and filmed it amazing. Yeah, all right, Now, you're also
Speaker 1: a huge UFC fight fan. You're a big UFC guy.
Speaker 1: You love it. Um you personally, would you rather be
Speaker 1: a UFC champion or a super Bowl champion? You know,
Speaker 1: there's so many variables, because I mean, being a UFC
Speaker 1: champion means that you're the baddest man on the planet,
Speaker 1: and there's something kind of undeniable about that. At the
Speaker 1: same time, you know, you know, these guys take so
Speaker 1: much punishment. You just wonder, you know, you feel for
Speaker 1: these guys. I mean there's a reason why not everyone
Speaker 1: wants to be locked in the cage with Chuck Liddell.
Speaker 1: I mean it takes its toll, you know. Um, so
Speaker 1: I I you know that's a big variable. You know,
Speaker 1: how much what's the tax on being a UFC fighter?
Speaker 1: You know how many elbows has John Jones you know
Speaker 1: doled out? You know, um, and I have a background
Speaker 1: in football, so I would gravitate towards football, and I
Speaker 1: think having that Super Bowl ring, you know, might but
Speaker 1: then you look at you look at NFL players, some
Speaker 1: of them can't walk upstairs. So I don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think, I think because I
Speaker 1: love I love them both. That's a that's a tough one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's that's a tough one, man. Um.
Speaker 1: But I think, you know, ultimately, let's let's be honest,
Speaker 1: you guys, those UFC guys, no one trains harder and
Speaker 1: no one gets compensated less for their sacrifice. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: very true. Well, now that you brought up training, now
Speaker 1: I'm trying to imagine what Michael Jordan would have been
Speaker 1: like is a UFC fighter since he played everything else practically, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, he would have been like John Jones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. I I gotta agree with you. Um. Now,
Speaker 1: one of your other skill sets is you're a great musician.
Speaker 1: You love drums, and I want to know, is there
Speaker 1: one moment you've you've drummed with some amazing people. You know,
Speaker 1: we had that little jam session with Joe Perry and
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp in Florida, which was awesome. Um, and you've
Speaker 1: done You've done a lot of little jam sessions like that.
Speaker 1: Is there one that stands out more than the others?
Speaker 1: That was insane? Um? You know. I looked over and
Speaker 1: I'm playing with Joe Perry, and by the way, I am,
Speaker 1: I've been playing the drums my whole life. But I'm limited.
Speaker 1: I'm not a professional musician. So Joe Perry looks at
Speaker 1: me and he goes, you know, just give me a
Speaker 1: shuffle and we'll break into and I couldn't quite hear him.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't and like, I know my limitation,
Speaker 1: you know. I'm like, and the shuffle is a very
Speaker 1: specific beat that I can't do, and I know, I
Speaker 1: know I can't do it. I can't do it well.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if you've noticed, but I looked
Speaker 1: at Miguel, who was a brilliant musician, and I just said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get into a funky pocket. Backed me up,
Speaker 1: because that's a pocket that I know and understand. So
Speaker 1: I just started hitting like a two and a four
Speaker 1: and getting funky, and then they kind of went okay,
Speaker 1: and they followed my lead. Thank god, because I'll be
Speaker 1: honest with you had I attempted a shuffle and they
Speaker 1: jumped into you know anything, it would the joke would
Speaker 1: have been on me and they would have taken the
Speaker 1: sticks away from me, and I would have I would
Speaker 1: have cried like a grandmother. Well yeah, I know that
Speaker 1: was That was such an awesome moment. It was Johnny Depp,
Speaker 1: Joe Perry, Miguel and Jeremy on drums. It was really
Speaker 1: really cool. That is but I played listen, I I
Speaker 1: played with I played with Kid Rock, Kid Rock, and
Speaker 1: then direct this. So this is insane. So I'm already
Speaker 1: to play cowboy because he's a cowboy. Got god, I'm ready.
Speaker 1: I'm ready with my beat. I don't have any in
Speaker 1: the ears. We're at the House of Blues and this happens,
Speaker 1: and I'm not making it up. We're it's being filmed
Speaker 1: for like Music Cares. All the money is going to charity.
Speaker 1: And I get on the kid and Kid kid Rock
Speaker 1: looks at the audience and he goes, oh, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna believe that. You guys. We have the remaining members
Speaker 1: of Leonard Skinner come up on stage. You guys, and
Speaker 1: the guys, the remaining members of Leonard Skinner get up
Speaker 1: on stage and they go, okay, let's play a Zeppelin cover. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's play rock and roll. Count it off. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: un count it off? You know what I mean? I
Speaker 1: don't even know. I can't hear anything because I have
Speaker 1: no in ears. I've got nothing. So I just go one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: been alone times and you know, been alone towns, and
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't have my in ears, so i
Speaker 1: can't hear the remaining members of of Leonard Skinner or
Speaker 1: kid Rock or anything. I'm just trying desperately to keep up.
Speaker 1: Kid Rock looks at me and screams, what do you
Speaker 1: do with He was so angry at me. Man. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: he's like, bro, do you need a metronome? Click? Click click,
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I didn't know that I
Speaker 1: was going to be playing that song that I've never
Speaker 1: played with guys that I've never seen him. But thank
Speaker 1: you for allowing me to play kid Rock. So I
Speaker 1: don't think I'll ever be allowed on one of his cruises.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I love that. Hey, so you played an
Speaker 1: agent on TV. As we we talked about earlier, Mr
Speaker 1: back to back to back yes three times and this
Speaker 1: is our third episode, so it's it's the number three.
Speaker 1: So you played an agent on TV. So what we
Speaker 1: want to know is if you were an agent in
Speaker 1: real life, Mr Jeremy Piven, Who are a couple of
Speaker 1: actors or who is going to be Jeremy Piven's first sign?
Speaker 1: Who are you going after first in the industry to
Speaker 1: get on your roster? Actors are athletes? Sorry, I want
Speaker 1: to do whatever whatever you want, so you can. You
Speaker 1: can give me a medley if you want. You can
Speaker 1: mix them up. Well, the first I athlete I would
Speaker 1: probably sign is is Kevin Durant because he's got a
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder right now, he's coming off of injury.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, you went to Golden State. You you
Speaker 1: took the easy way out. But people don't realize the
Speaker 1: Slim Reaper is is like no other you guys. I
Speaker 1: mean that guy. You know, he's got handles like he's
Speaker 1: five nine, but he by the way, he's probably seven ft.
Speaker 1: I think they listen him at six ten or something.
Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. There's almost no one like him.
Speaker 1: He will if he's healthy, he's gonna he's gonna grab
Speaker 1: some rings. Except for Dirk and whiskey. Right, you said
Speaker 1: there's nobody like him, but except for Dirk. Yeah, Dirk
Speaker 1: Is is brilliant. You don't. He's a man. You don't
Speaker 1: have to be nice, No, Dirk Dirk Is, Dirk Is
Speaker 1: is one for the ages for sure. And and his
Speaker 1: shot is incredible. You know, I don't know if he
Speaker 1: has all the hand thals that k d has uh
Speaker 1: I would probably sign, is it shila la la booth
Speaker 1: that he's Julian Edelman actually is a big shy. We
Speaker 1: were talking about that. That that is I think that
Speaker 1: is an excellent sign. Did you did you see both
Speaker 1: the Peanut Butter Falcon and Honey Boy? By chance, I've
Speaker 1: seen honey Boy, I haven't seen uh uh, peanut butter
Speaker 1: fal It's a real it's a real thing. It's a
Speaker 1: real thing. No, I haven't seen it, but I can't
Speaker 1: wait to see it. Um. What is it called again?
Speaker 1: It's called yeah, it's no, that's right. It's called peanut
Speaker 1: butter Falcon peut literally, and it's the guys that it's
Speaker 1: the guys that produced mud Bound um and which actually
Speaker 1: are our producer that you just said hi to Kyle,
Speaker 1: who's my partner in production. He spent seven years of
Speaker 1: his life on mud Bound. Um we did. We did
Speaker 1: not produce Peanut Butter Falcon, but Tim, Tim and Tim
Speaker 1: and Chris did and uh yeah, so we got to
Speaker 1: see it early on. We got to see what is
Speaker 1: special heartbeat as and Shaya is. Uh, he's absolutely wonderful
Speaker 1: in it. It's it's it's an incredible film. It's really great. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys who you know you're you're
Speaker 1: in for something special when you watch him in something,
Speaker 1: because he puts every fiber of his being into the character.
Speaker 1: Um and he goes all in. You know, we're we're
Speaker 1: talking about Jordans. There are certain people that you know,
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson said to me one time he was
Speaker 1: sounds like a name dropping, but he was, you know,
Speaker 1: he was one of the cameos an Entourage, and he
Speaker 1: said to me he was he stuck around and was
Speaker 1: watching some of my scenes and he said, let me
Speaker 1: ask you, man, when you when you act, is it
Speaker 1: each take? Is it like regular season playoffs for the
Speaker 1: super Bowl? And I said it's the super Bowl and
Speaker 1: he goes, yeah, man, me too. And I don't know
Speaker 1: any other way but to put everything I possibly have
Speaker 1: into it. And I'm not equating myself with Shia or
Speaker 1: Michael m j or any of these people, or Russell
Speaker 1: or any of them. You're all give it, You're all,
Speaker 1: but yeah, and until there's nothing left for real. And
Speaker 1: Shy is one of those guys. And you know, Shy
Speaker 1: has been misunderstood, and I know what it's like to
Speaker 1: be misunderstood, believe me, um for a long time. And
Speaker 1: I just think that he's, uh, he's brilliant and you
Speaker 1: can't go wrong with that guy. So I would I
Speaker 1: changed myself to a desk for him if I was
Speaker 1: his agent. That's that's awesome. I love it. Those are
Speaker 1: two great picks. That's Katie and Shyloff. Ye. All right,
Speaker 1: well let's lighten it up a little bit. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do a little segment right now called the Spelling Bee,
Speaker 1: the Hey Pal spelling Bee. Um, I'm gonna ask you
Speaker 1: to spell a word, and I'm gonna ask Jared to
Speaker 1: spell the same word and we'll see who gets it right. Okay,
Speaker 1: Can I just say I'd like to play any other game?
Speaker 1: You know What's funny? Before we started, I said I'm
Speaker 1: probably not gonna ask Jeremy this, but but I got
Speaker 1: one that I feel very confident about. So just trust
Speaker 1: me on this. Okay, here we go with your faith.
Speaker 1: The spelling be the word for Jared issom. Oh, so
Speaker 1: I get to go first. You're going first, Okay, hit
Speaker 1: me with it. The word for Jared isom and I
Speaker 1: can use it in a sentence if necessary. Or locker
Speaker 1: as in Brian or locker, Brian or locker. The word
Speaker 1: is er locker. Do I have to spell Brian or
Speaker 1: just r locker? The word is er locker. Okay, Um,
Speaker 1: I would like to have it used in the sentence, please. Um.
Speaker 1: The greatest linebacker post Mike Singletary, is Brian Erlacker. Excellent
Speaker 1: a linebacker fur the Chicago Bears. Yes, that's it. Er
Speaker 1: locker or locker or locker. You're not gonna get it
Speaker 1: right you You are l A C h e O.
Speaker 1: There is that. By the way, Brian Bryan is another
Speaker 1: one of those guys who was so insanely competitive, you know,
Speaker 1: and you know, being from Chicago love and you know
Speaker 1: all Chicago teams. I've known Brian for years and he
Speaker 1: saw me listed on some sheet it's something at five
Speaker 1: ten and he goes bro, give me a break. Man,
Speaker 1: You're not five ten and I'm five nine. They gave me,
Speaker 1: they gave me an inch, but I'm like, you're six five.
Speaker 1: You've been the best player on every field you've ever
Speaker 1: walked onto. Give me this, give me one, give one
Speaker 1: inch of fame, alright, And with that, I think we're
Speaker 1: gonna take one more ad break, and then when we
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna put Mr Piven in the penalty box.
Speaker 1: It's time. M M. All right, you go penalty box. So, last,
Speaker 1: but not least, we're gonna go into hay Pal penalty
Speaker 1: box and ask you a series of questions just to
Speaker 1: answer the first thing that comes to mind, super simple.
Speaker 1: Chicago has some great sports stadiums and fields. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite Chicago stadium of all time? Past, present or future?
Speaker 1: Pastor present? Soldier Field? Soldier Field, Okay, all right, just
Speaker 1: because you know it's so iconic. It's been there forever
Speaker 1: um and they weren't a team that moved elsewhere, and
Speaker 1: they kept the bones of the real stadium and they
Speaker 1: built on it. You know, some some boxes and you know,
Speaker 1: luxury boxes and whatnot, but it's it's been the same
Speaker 1: since Papa Bear House was there and the Bears back
Speaker 1: in the day. It's a it's a pretty special place.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, what was the difference. Did
Speaker 1: you like watching basketball at the old Chicago Basketball Arena
Speaker 1: or at the United Center better? I mean, they're both
Speaker 1: so great because you know, the Bear the Bulls one
Speaker 1: in both of them. And the United Center was a
Speaker 1: little bigger and more cavernous, but the mad House on
Speaker 1: Madison was more intimate and uh old school. Yeah, okay, um,
Speaker 1: I know you eat healthy, but if you had to pick,
Speaker 1: what's the best pizza spot in Chicago, uh, Pizzeria Juno. Okay,
Speaker 1: good call Jared old school or Serendipity old school because
Speaker 1: it's just so insanely funny. Um. You know, I mean
Speaker 1: once a romantic comedy wants a flat out comedy that
Speaker 1: will stand the test of time. And you know, working
Speaker 1: with guys like Will Ferrell, who his background is in
Speaker 1: sketch as well, Um, you can't break him because he's
Speaker 1: used to, you know, doing live television, so he's kind
Speaker 1: of unstoppable. Um. And he's another guy that goes all in.
Speaker 1: You know, when he was saying, you know, let's go streaking. Hey,
Speaker 1: Snoop with your boy Snoop, you know, you know, everyone
Speaker 1: on set is looking and Will you know just had
Speaker 1: a sock, a tube sock, you know, basically on just
Speaker 1: he covered his situation with a tube sock. And if
Speaker 1: you look at Snoop's face, he didn't know what was happening.
Speaker 1: And will Is is just not afraid to commit completely.
Speaker 1: And so there's so many great lines from that. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you my audition story with that. I went in
Speaker 1: for Todd Phillips. I shouldn't tell the story, but I'm
Speaker 1: going to anyway, Hey, pal, exclusive there you go. So
Speaker 1: I read the script and I'm not just saying this,
Speaker 1: but I just went, this is a classic. This is
Speaker 1: straight up classic. I have to go in on this.
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, a lot of the roles have
Speaker 1: been cast up. Only can I just meet Todd Phillips. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can go in there. I went and met him
Speaker 1: and he was really cool, and I go, you know
Speaker 1: what's left? And he goes, well, the only thing left?
Speaker 1: I go, you know, you know what about And they're like,
Speaker 1: now that's Vince, what about Nana, that's Luke Wilson, what
Speaker 1: about not's Will Ferrell? Well what do you have left? Well,
Speaker 1: we have the nerdy dean that they lock at a dumpster.
Speaker 1: That's the only role left. And I was like, um, okay, man,
Speaker 1: I'll play that. And he goes, no, you can't play that,
Speaker 1: but how could you do that? And I go, what
Speaker 1: do you mean? He goes, you look like one of
Speaker 1: Vince's like buddies. You you seem to have that swagger
Speaker 1: like and he said you're built like a gymnast. And
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't even know what that means,
Speaker 1: but but thank you. You know, I don't know what
Speaker 1: that has to do with anything, you know, but thanks man?
Speaker 1: And uh, he goes, how could you play this role?
Speaker 1: I go, I'll tell you what. Can I audition? He
Speaker 1: goes sure? So I went out and I found some
Speaker 1: very nerdy glasses and I got a sweater vest and
Speaker 1: I did a call. I called my I did a
Speaker 1: comb over and I just played this nerdy character and
Speaker 1: I did one take and he goes, that was great. Uh,
Speaker 1: And I just want what do you expect? And he
Speaker 1: goes what. I go, I'd like to go again? Can
Speaker 1: I go again? Sure? And I said, what did you expect?
Speaker 1: Without even thinking do you know what? I mean, and
Speaker 1: it came off so cocky. I didn't mean to say that,
Speaker 1: so I corrected myself and I went again, and luckily
Speaker 1: I got the role and it was incredible and an
Speaker 1: amazing experience. And he's a genius. And that movie is
Speaker 1: you know, something you could put on today and you're
Speaker 1: still gonna laugh. It's not like it's dated or it
Speaker 1: didn't hold up. No, it's it's awesome. Um all right,
Speaker 1: where is a place that you want to travel? I
Speaker 1: know you love traveling. The place that you've never been
Speaker 1: that you want to go to a lot of good questions,
Speaker 1: you guys. I I did a travel show and I
Speaker 1: went to India and did a you know, a bunch
Speaker 1: of stuff. I did a travel show. I did one
Speaker 1: episode I did. It was just like a special. I'd
Speaker 1: love to do that again. Um Man. You know what's
Speaker 1: crazy is I've I've never been to Australia, if you
Speaker 1: can believe it. Um And you know what's funny is
Speaker 1: like whenever I hear someone with an Australian accent, I
Speaker 1: know that that that they're going to come over to me.
Speaker 1: I sort of got to hear it, and I just
Speaker 1: know that entourage was huge in Australia for whatever reason.
Speaker 1: I know that they're very much like the UK and
Speaker 1: they love taking the piss and that's all Ari Gold
Speaker 1: did with bust people's walls. So, um, I'd like to
Speaker 1: go do some stand up there and I'd love to
Speaker 1: go travel over there. Awesome, We're gonna do that. And
Speaker 1: last question, uh, favorite childhood cartoon when you were a
Speaker 1: youngster man. There's there's so many, right, Um, what about
Speaker 1: you guys? Why don't you guys go first? I know
Speaker 1: you have them. Um. My favorite cartoon was probably I
Speaker 1: was a big super Friends guy. I like the super Friends,
Speaker 1: the League of Justice, that whole thing, and they'd sit
Speaker 1: around the table. I like that. Yeah, how about Justice League?
Speaker 1: That's still on? Isn't it? Just? Is it? I don't know.
Speaker 1: All I know is that I did a voice on
Speaker 1: Justice League. I played the Elongated Man. No one. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. You have to send me.
Speaker 1: You gotta send me that Cliff, You gotta send me
Speaker 1: that the elongated Man. I know it sounds like a pornough, right,
Speaker 1: the Elongated Man. That's amazing? All right, Jared, you don't
Speaker 1: have one. I didn't watch cartoons grow you didn't watch cartdoons? No,
Speaker 1: I never. I never saw a court. I don't even
Speaker 1: think I was care bears, counsels, care bears, care bears.
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear do you ever hear of Chrapel's
Speaker 1: care bear joke? I'm not gonna say it. I won't
Speaker 1: do it, but job, oh wait, no I have, I haven't.
Speaker 1: It's brilliant. He's right, Yeah, we can't say it, but
Speaker 1: it's awesome. So here's here's my my last story about cartoons.
Speaker 1: I love cartoons so much that I would come home
Speaker 1: from school. Um, when I was eight is when I started.
Speaker 1: I started, you know, on stage as an actor. So
Speaker 1: I was on stage, but before then, I would come
Speaker 1: home and one time the TV is there, the everything
Speaker 1: else has got the furniture is missing, and I run,
Speaker 1: I run outside. I run to my mom and we've
Speaker 1: been robbed. And she goes, no, no, no, Jeremy, we're
Speaker 1: using all of our furniture for the set of our
Speaker 1: the new check off play that we're doing Three Sisters.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what are you guys doing? Why?
Speaker 1: Why can't you get real jobs? Why can't why do
Speaker 1: you have to be actors so stupid? Why can't dad
Speaker 1: be a mover, like move things like do something useful,
Speaker 1: like literally. My first reference for acting was you're gonna
Speaker 1: steal the couch, you know. So I can't watch cartoons,
Speaker 1: so that was very surreal. I loved I loved everything
Speaker 1: every cartoon you could possibly watch. But you know, those
Speaker 1: quick road Runners always hysterical. They were quick hits and
Speaker 1: I love them. Awesome. All right, well, Jared, I can't
Speaker 1: thank you enough, brother. I love you. It's so great
Speaker 1: to see you and to talk to you. Listen. I
Speaker 1: can't wait for this pandemic to be over so we
Speaker 1: can all hug it out. Bit. Yes later, buddy, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much, cheers by, thank you, wow dav Oh, yeah,
