Unfortunately, 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.320 but he was playing you were doing how many gigs 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:16.079 a year? Jarre Um between two and uh fifty And 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.320 the last show I was doing was as the pandemic 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.280 was was going down in Dallas, and and we were 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.240 sold out every single night, and they were just like, 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.760 we don't care about rowing up. They're like, we'll shoot Sank. 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.840 I'll shoot him in the Sorry, my am. I breaking 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.160 all the equipment. That's what I do. That's what I did. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.600 By the way, is this a visual medium. I know 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.160 it's a podcast. It's just we're just gonna do audio 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.640 for now. Oh good thing that I spent all the 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:56.880 time working on the background see talented and by and 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.480 by the way, I'm from I'm born and raised in 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.919 in Lists and he just nailed that on the head 0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.240 of what it what it's like down there, and everybody 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.160 being like, fun Corona, We're still going. Yes, it's pretty incredible. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.440 You know. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.400 going to be an empty room, but it was packed. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.800 It was crazy and we had a good time. And uh, 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:20.520 and then ever since then, I've been locked in my house. Um. Well, 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.119 Jeremy Dave and I were just talking at the top 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.919 of the show about the Last Dance, Uh, the Chicago 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:31.080 Bulls documentary on ESPN and the fact of three peting 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.760 and how hard it is to three p uh. I 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.040 find it insanely impressive and a very rare feet. We 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.600 should have looked up the stats on how many other 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:43.160 actors have done this, but you you won three three Dave, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.320 not not two three three Emmys in a row. Yeah, 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.800 which is just absolutely insanity. And so on this show, 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.240 what we like to do is we kind of like 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.280 to ask a hybrid of questions and put you know, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.560 actors and athletes shoes and athletes and actors shoes. And 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.800 our question at the top for you is you have 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.280 three pet What do you think is harder to do 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.680 an actor to three pet or a professional team to 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.760 three pete. Well, all actors want to be athletes, so 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.839 I would I would say that it's probably harder. God, 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:24.160 that's a that's a great question. Um, you would probably 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.320 you know that you'd probably have to look up the stats. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.640 The stats are? You know, I have no idea. I 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:34.479 know that there's you know, Brian Cranston did it. Um, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.280 there are a couple of actors that have done it, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.279 and I don't know how many athletes have done it. 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.400 I mean, you mentioned the last dance and being from Chicago, 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.599 I couldn't be more proud of my bulls. And you know, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.240 that they doubled down on their three pete. UM would 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.880 probably be, uh, you know, an accomplishment that everyone's chasing. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.440 And it's really cool for us to see what I 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:02.640 grew up watching, which is, you know, I believe a 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.200 feat that I don't know if we will ever be 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.839 even anyone will come close to um, which is what 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.280 the Bulls did and what Michael Jordan did. You guys 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:16.240 are able to see in real time right now what 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.159 he accomplished in the nineties, because you know he was 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.839 he was a guy that came in there and as 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.320 a rookie was averaging twenty eight points a game, and 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:30.320 then he put he put sixty three points up against 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.200 Larry Bird and the Celtics while they were yeah, when 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.560 they were when they were crushing it, and you know, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.159 he was a guy we have guys now, and no 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.880 disrespect to anyone in the game right now. But I 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:48.560 bet if you even asked Michael Jordan's what load management means, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.840 he would probably think you were talking about something dirty, 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:59.440 you know, low what is load? Load management is when 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.320 you get paid and you don't have to show up, 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.960 And that's for him. You saw how frustrated he was. 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.080 They were limiting his minutes and he was ready to 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.960 kill someone because he said, what's the point of playing 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.960 if we're not allowed to win? And you know, at 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.560 one point they gave a temperance, that chance that he 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.880 could ruin his career, and he said, you know, let 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.680 me at them. And he was just a really rare 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.480 bird that we were. We were lucky to have. The 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.920 clip that was amazing is when they showed how they 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.480 pulled him from the game with like fourteen seconds left 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.760 because he had played his fourteen minutes and he wanted 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:34.120 to get back in there and they wouldn't let him 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.839 because they were trying to get better seating for the draft. 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.320 And then Paxson hit that one game winner to get 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.800 them in the playoffs, and it was amazing. That was 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.560 when they ended up going and playing the somethings then, 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.560 as amazing as the action that he had and how 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.560 angry he was, he was just he was just a 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.040 different breed. Um. Well, I actually think that, Um, just 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.760 to circle back to the question, my opinion is, I 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.560 actually think he would be harder for for an actor 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.080 to three p And the reason I say that is 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.039 because Dave made a great point earlier is that it's 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.160 it's a voting process, right, so these athletes can somewhat 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.200 control it. But I feel like for somebody like, you know, 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.600 we'll we'll take you Jeremy as as an example, and 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.480 it's like, after you get it once and you get 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.200 it twice, I feel like there's gonna be a lot 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.080 of skew. I mean, you did three p but there's 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.720 a lot of people that are like, let's just give 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.680 it to somebody else, even though he deserves it, Let's 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.840 give it to somebody else. And athletes they don't do that. 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.760 They want to They want to win every single year 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.960 and cut your throat. You know, it's not being voted on. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.520 They control what happens. An actor in that situation can't 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.840 control it. So it's just an incredible accomplishment. No, you're 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.680 you're You're absolutely right. Um. They control their destiny at 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:41.120 all costs. And Paul Newman even was frustrated. I think 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.520 he went over seven or something at the Oscars and 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.200 he that's why he went into racing. He was like, 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.520 I want to win something that I can control, you know. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.920 So yeah, he which is which is absolutely incredible. But yeah, man, 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.560 I have so many great bulls stories because you know, 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.880 I was growing up watching them. Remember one year, UM, 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.440 when they were going for their six title UM, I 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.360 was hosting the Chicago Film Critics Awards and I got 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.320 a press pass and I went backstage. Backstage, I went 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.880 into the locker room and everyone was surrounding Jordan's and 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.360 they all asked. You know, it was just incredible to 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.680 be a part of that. And you know, the wave 0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.320 of questions came, a hundred and sixteen questions at once, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.520 and then I just waited and I went right before 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:29.080 everyone and I said, have you let the healing process 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:32.120 begin since you were snubbed at the Oscars for Space 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:39.199 Jam and he was He was like, oh, man, oh 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:43.400 I know you you're a clown. Man. I was like, oh, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.720 Michael Jordan knows who I am. It was amazing was 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.440 that that was the first time you met him. I'm 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.760 trying you know what that was the first time I 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.240 met him because I knew the crew UM and every 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.800 you know, every time I went out, they would always say, oh, man, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.160 you just missed m j UM. So I got really 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.679 frustrated with that. But the world works out because UM. 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.439 One time there was the opening of the Atlantis Hotel 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.880 and Dave. I didn't know you then, but it was 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.520 Stevie Wonder's birthday and MJ was there and I connected 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.000 with him and it was incredible, and he invited me 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.720 on his boat and I just couldn't believe it. So 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.640 I'm at the hotel and I jumped in one of 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.920 the cars from the hotel and it was like it 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.800 was a little stranger. Was a minivan and you know, 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.680 driving with the guy and he was it was a 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.720 Sunday and he was blasting, you know, some church service 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.760 and I'm Jewish and it was interesting because he had it. 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.280 He had it cranked up to eleven right, and it 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.400 was really loud. And then we get we get to 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.920 the boat and I can see m J and U 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.960 and I was like, thanks so much, man, and he 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.960 goes you on me twenty and I was like, oh, 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:54.000 I don't have I I was in my board shorts, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.480 you know, I was gonna hang out the boys and 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:56.720 the but I was like, I don't have any money. 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:58.319 I thought it was part of the hotel. He goes, 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.280 no man now, and he grabbed a whole to me 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.400 and he and he started calling the police and and 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.199 he locked the doors and he wouldn't let me go, 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.079 and I can see m J, I can see Spike, 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.800 Lee and Ramadra shot on the boat and I'm late 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.600 and I'm like, what am I gonna do? And a 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:18.040 bus passes by us and I waved to them and 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.240 they're all pointing. They go, oh my god, they screamed, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.200 and I get out of the car and I waved 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.560 them down and some people knew who I was, and 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.440 I asked for twenty. They gave me a twenty. I 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:30.000 gave the dude to twenty, ran to the boat, spent 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:32.960 the entire day with m J and Spike and we 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.319 all we did all day long was fire questions at 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.240 m J and asked him what that run was like. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.000 And I got it all. So I feel like I'm 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.920 I'm totally prepped for the last dance. No, I mean 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.120 it was. It was. And you know the reaction that 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.200 you said that he had when he was like, I 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.440 know you, I know you. It's cool to see the 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.880 human side of him because I remember, I think when 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.600 you introduced me to him at the NBA All Star 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.160 Game in New York. I remember I brought Chuck Ladell 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.800 that night, and I remember how funny it was to 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.880 see him geek out over Chuck Ladell. I don't know 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.720 if you remember, he was like rubbing his head. He 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.280 like he couldn't believe he's like the Iceman, the iceman, 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.520 Like he couldn't believe that this this fighter that he revered, 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.439 you know, was it just in his presence? It was 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.160 really cool? Yeah, man, it's I'm sure that was probably 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.360 felt really good for Chuck to get that kind of 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.000 love from the goat. All right, Jeremy, we're gonna take 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.200 a quick break and we will be right back with 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:41.480 more Hate Pal podcast. So now you know, I'm a 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.120 Sixer fan. Unfortunately, so I haven't had I haven't had 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.559 a lot of good times, neither of you Mavericks. You 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.240 got one championship, So what was the the energy in 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.559 the city like when that was going on. I mean, 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.000 to be part of that city, the way that you are, 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.640 the way that your family is, you guys are synonymous 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.920 with Chicago. What was that like? I mean, what a 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.360 what a run? Yeah? You know what, I will say 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:04.960 a little not your Sixers. I don't know if you 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.480 know this, but the only way they got that footage 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.560 and the only way it's on the air right now 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.840 is that MJ agreed to be filmed and they could 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.840 have they can have access, but if they agreed that 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.720 he could control the footage and say whenever, if ever, 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.200 the footage gets out. And when they approached him finally 0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:28.680 the group that said let us please produce this and 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:32.400 put it out, he MJ was combing over their credentials 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.280 and he saw that he had done Alan Iverson's documentary 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.959 and he said, you do this documentary and they were 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.400 like they didn't know if it was a good thing 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.520 or a bad thing, and they were like yeah, and 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.000 he was like, I saw that three times. Man, I cried. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.640 So that's that's like the reason why one of the 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:51.480 reasons one of the variables as to why he gave 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.760 him the rights, why we even see the last dance. 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:59.760 So so props to your boy, Allen Iverson. Yeah that's awesome, 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:06.600 he said, I love that little dude. That sounds about right, No, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.520 but yeah, it was, you know, this incredible energy. We 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:12.600 just we knew how lucky we were to be to 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:14.480 be able to go to the stadium which turned into 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.880 the United Center and and to watch MJ live and 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:22.439 Chicago to this day is an incredible sports town, and 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.679 and we love them and we revered them, and um, 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.920 we're very loyal fans. And the energy you know, I 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.839 mean they're still running off that energy from that from 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:33.960 that time. I mean, I don't know if the Bulls 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.760 have ever been the same. You know, we keep, we keep, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:41.160 we keep wanting them to be in hoping so so 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.480 so if I told you that you could own one 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.040 Chicago team right now, two thousand and twenty, and you 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.880 will own that team for the next however many years, 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.120 Chicago Bears, You're gonna own the Chicago Bears, absolute hands town. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.760 Yeah wow. And how come how can you pick the 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.960 Bears over over Cubs, the Bulls, the Socks, the Blackhawks. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.560 You know, I it's such a great tie to them, 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:06.320 just because growing up watching them, Um, watching Walter Payton 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.240 arguably the greatest football player of all time, and their 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.800 legacy and you know what they did in eighty five 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.280 and their history and Papa very Hallis and and all 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.480 those great players over the years and the tradition that 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.600 those guys have have had and and they really care 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.200 and they're trying to have a great team and um, 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.560 they just got your boy from Philly at quarterback. Yeah, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.000 I was about that was my next question. I was 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.840 about to say, so if Jeremy Piven, what were the owner, 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.080 who who would you who would you vote for? I mean, 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.480 I know that ultimately comes from probably the head coach, 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.760 but the owner has a huge say. But who would 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.400 you tell the head coach you'd want to start this year? 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.320 Robinsky or or Fulls? Right? Yeah, yeah, Well that's that's 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:49.000 what I mean. They've obviously invested in Traubinsky, and and 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.360 he's been injured and we haven't seen him. He played 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.480 thirteen games in college, so basically, if you were to 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.880 add the games he's playing now, he's like a rookie UM, 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.040 and he was injured. Lot of variables, and he's a 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.800 really tough kid. And that's one of the great things. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:05.840 I love that you're asking that question because I want 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.440 to be an owner. Um, because I'm I'm a frustrated athlete. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.960 And I was a very viciously mediocre player in high school. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.000 But the reason I was because I was only one 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.400 of the only white boys on my team and I 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.880 was in the backfield. But then they took me out 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.480 because I didn't have a chance, and they put me 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.080 on the line, you know, and you know, in a 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:28.400 hundred and seventy eight pounds to play offensive guard was brutal. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.800 But I played all four years and you know, and 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.680 you know what, there's nothing in this life like failure. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:39.800 I I highly suggested for everyone. No, no, I mean 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.640 that because you know, it gets to you get a 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:46.640 sense of who you are, and you know, that wasn't 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:51.080 right for me and feeling like I could contribute and 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.720 I had speed and I love playing that position and 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.960 I wasn't allowed to play that in and so it 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.000 was just a lot of failure for me. And it's 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:00.960 one of the things that fuel me as an actor, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:07.480 um was was knowing what that what that defeat was like, 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.640 and knowing what it was like to not be able 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.400 to contribute. And so you know, I'm as an actor, 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:17.320 you know, always leave my shield on the field, you know, 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.840 overprepared everything I got. I'm to this day playing like 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:25.800 you know, I got something to prove. And um, so 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.760 that was an invaluable experience for me. But to answer 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.160 your question, what I would do is I would I 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:39.240 would have a very intense uh camp and I would 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:42.360 just see, you know, what these guys are like, what 0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:45.320 kind of shape they're in? Who wants it more, who 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.160 works better with that system, who's going to buy into 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.880 that system and let them battle it out. You know, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.240 Travisky has got that number one spot and he knows 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.320 the offense, and then like who's gonna bring it every 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.440 day and who wants it and just think it's a 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.200 It's a great way for those two guys two And 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.280 you couldn't have picked a better quarterback because that guy 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:08.040 was second team, his number was called the won the 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.119 Super Bowl. In my opinion, there's no better guy to 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.000 be in that position for the Bears than Nick Foleth. Well, man, 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:20.520 I should be I should be running things. You should 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.840 um But you know another uh, I think another thing 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.480 that's important is who the team is going to rally around. 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.000 You know, there's certain quarterbacks that for whatever reason, the 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:33.120 team will just rally around them as opposed to as 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.800 another quarterback. As he's saying, as the owner, he would 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:38.160 he would throw this intense camp. And in the intense camp, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:40.520 obviously you're going to see the other the other players 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.200 and who they're gravitating towards and who they're not. You know, yeah, 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.720 they know Jared. I have a question in terms of 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:50.160 you know, being a performer and comparing it to sports, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.119 What for you is personally is a bigger high. Having 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.840 an incredible kick ass scene on a film set, having 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.280 an incredible performance on a theater stage, or knocking him 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:03.879 dead with a stand up comedy routine. What what for 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.560 you is a bigger high? What do you get from? Well, 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.600 the thing about stand up is it's immediate, and you 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.920 know if a joke is landing, you know, in real time, 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.439 right there in front of you, So that that that 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.240 high is incredible and that's something that you've worked on 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.479 on your own and you think it's funny, but do 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.040 these people think it's funny? And so for that to 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.639 land is incredible and um, so that you know, for 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.439 the past few years has been an insane journey and 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.840 I love it. Um And yet you can't take anything 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.560 away from being on a film or TV set because 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.400 there's nothing like that, because you know that you're documenting 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.040 it and and and all these people are gonna see it, 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.880 so they're they're all very different. But you know, there's 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.800 nothing like having a joke land with a large audience. 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.600 And it was probably cool because you had never seen 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:58.680 me do stand up and you know, I've been trying 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:00.840 to get you to come and to be honest with you, 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.240 I was kind of like holding off until I figured 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.320 it out. Not that I haven't figured it out. I'm 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:07.480 still trying to figure it out. But it was cool 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:09.879 to have you come to the laugh Factory and just 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:13.520 see because you know me as an actor, but you 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:17.480 never know. Someone could be funny in different roles or 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:20.680 off camera or whatever, but you don't know if they're 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:22.080 gonna be able to pull it off in front of 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.119 an audience. So it was cool to have you in 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:25.879 the house. Now. It was awesome, and well, I know 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:27.119 he was an actor, and I knew he was a 0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.159 great storyteller. You tell great stories, so you know, to 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.520 be able to see you the timing UH doing stand 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.200 up was really was really awesome. It was really cool. 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:38.800 Now now that we're talking about stand up, I have 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.159 a question for you. If you were to create a 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:45.960 starting five basketball team made up of five stand up comics, 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.600 who would you're starting five B Who's who's your point guard, 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:53.560 your guard, your forward, your center, your power forward. That's 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:57.960 a great question. I think I think bringing up the ball, 0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:05.600 uh would be I think the backcourt would be Uh. 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:15.399 Richard Pryor and Chappelle. You know right, Um, I think 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:23.639 uh in the paint would be Sam Kinison. Wow, just pounding, 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:28.960 pounding the paint, relentlessly, amped up, amped up on coke, 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:31.840 with a with a with a background as a preacher, 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:37.920 just ripping it up right at power forward would probably 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:44.440 be Bill Burr, right, and then the other forward might 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:48.920 be Eliza Sleshinger. And I don't mean to butcher her name, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:55.520 but she is a brilliant talk about a storyteller. She 0:20:55.520 --> 0:21:01.160 she is uh meticulous, has tons of energy, totally invests 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:04.480 in her stories and uh so there there you have it. 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:05.840 Do you have Do you have a couple that you 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.600 would you would throw out there on your team? Um? 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:12.440 I mean I think, uh, Richard Pryor is is for me. 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.600 He's gotta be on everybody's comic Mount Rushmore. You know, 0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.919 I think he was just on a on another level. Um, 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:20.440 I would love You know who I would love to 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.479 see battle in the paint is uh Sam Kinison and 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.000 Robin Williams. That's a great one. That would be a 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:30.879 battle down low on the post for sure. But I 0:21:30.920 --> 0:21:33.520 really can't think of a better backcourt than Prior and Chappelle. 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:35.840 Though pretty good. He nailed. How can that go wrong? 0:21:36.320 --> 0:21:40.760
