73
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: just disconnected. I'm like, I love the game, but I

74
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960

00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 5: even normally that good, but because Randall was so competitive,

160
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: like it like really brought it out of me. And

161
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: that was honestly so much fun I hope that.

162
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: You talked that same way when you think of him

163
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: as a director.

164
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 5: No, no, no, by the way, by the way, I

165
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: actually I told him. I texted him afterwards. I was like,

166
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 5: you know how I know you're a great director, Randall.

167
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 5: You bring the best out of me.

168
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: I love that.

169
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 5: I'm not I'm really not joking. There's some people that

170
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: they just they bring the best out of other people

171
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 5: around them. And Randalls, really, you you are one of

172
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 5: those guys.

173
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, buddy, And I'll tell you he did

174
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: text me after and that meant a lot. And I

175
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 3: want to tell you I'm competitive as fucking you whip

176
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: my ass, which I'm very upset about. And I've been

177
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: working every day with a coach. That's how obsessed I am.

178
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 3: So come on back and I'll give you your ass

179
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,480

180
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: Well. See, now I'm scared. Now, I'm scared to go back.

181
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: By the way, Bil, sometimes it's better to just take

182
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: the win and revel in it forever.

183
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, just never go back. Like, no, no, I'm good.

184
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 5: I don't play anymore. I'm more into ping pong now,

185
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: you know. I went skateboarding the other day with my

186
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: homie Kenny from high school, and he hit me up.

187
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 5: He's like, should we do some like social distance skateboarding

188
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 5: full and I'm like, it's like, literally how we talked

189
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 5: in high school, just like these dumb ass LA guys.

190
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 5: So I roll up to his place with my skateboard

191
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 5: and mind you, I did Lords of Dogtown when I

192
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 5: was nineteen, but I was a skateboarder in middle school.

193
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: But it's been frigging years since I've skated. But I

194
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: used to do these kickflips and I could kickflip over things.

195
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: So I started skating. And immediately we go we go

196
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 5: to like some curb, and everyone by the way is

197
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 5: looking at us, like, what are these guys in their

198
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 5: mid thirties doing, like with their shirts off, skating on

199
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 5: the curve And this is this is actually really embarrassing.

200
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: But like Kenny's house is right across the like right

201
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: by my son's pediatricians office.

202
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: Oh my god, wow, So.

203
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 5: Like I'm literally a shirtless dude skating in front of

204
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 5: his like son's doctor's office. Like I was like, this

205
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: is kind of this is kind of like weird.

206
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 2: We do it.

207
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: Kenny immediately tries to like one d up a curve,

208
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: the board flies out from underneath him and he just

209
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: gets bodied to the chest. Oh for a minute, and

210
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, oh no, Kenny, it's been a while now, Like, Kenny,

211
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 5: this was your idea. You can't like break your spine

212
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 5: on your first trick. But we eventually got a a

213
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 5: few takes of me kick flipping over aboard. I hadn't

214
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 5: done that trick in eighteen years. Oh my god, I

215
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 5: landed it. I stuck it. I put it on my Instagram.

216
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 5: I was like so proud of it.

217
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: Oh you did you stuck it?

218
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: I did so. I tried to do a kick flip

219
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,239
Speaker 5: four days later, and I had like bruised my hamstring

220
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 5: a week before. So when I landed my first pick

221
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: flip I tried, it was like a shooting pain and

222
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: I just like went to the ground and I was like, oh,

223
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 5: I'm not twelve anymore.

224
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: Oh that's when you know you're you're a grown ass man.

225
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,280

00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: old school.

231
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Did that go for you?

232
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: Not good? But but I just hold on.

233
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 3: First of all, I could kick the board out still,

234
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: but I cannot flip that shit anymore.

235
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 2: That's gone. Those days are over over. But I Meil,

Speaker 5: years since I kick flip like a boss over a

00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 5: staatee word on its side.

242
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 3: And by the way, I just want to tell you

243
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: Lord's a Dogtown for those who have not seen it,

244
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: is one of the greatest ever, I mean, just epic film.

245
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: And I just want to ask I just want to ask.

246
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: You a few questions, like, because people have watched you,

247
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 3: you you've won awards, you've been nominated for everything, and

248
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: you're considered and I'm gonna blow your ego up. You

249
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: are considered one of those actors that are the real deal.

250
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: And when I say that from an industry point of view,

251
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 3: I think audiences know, but they don't know how to

252
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: verbalize it.

253
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: It's like there's the Joaquin.

254
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 3: Phoenixes, that Daniel day Lewis's and the Emial Hersch's of

255
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 3: the world, people that you know, when you bring them

256
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 3: onto a film, you're gonna get the highest level of quality.

257
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 3: And I've always said that to you since we did

258
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 3: Loan Survivor together, and you know that. I mean, I

259
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: know you don't say it, but they're just certain actors

260
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: that are true artists that.

261
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Really cannot stop watching it.

262
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: You can't stop watching it, and you're one of them.

263
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 3: Just tell people how you started, like in the industry,

264
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,199

00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 5: so it was like the best intro to acting, you know,

315
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: was like, yeah, it was like outside fun with other kids, like,

316
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: oh this is this is fun. This is like a

317
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 5: hike with costumes. And then it just I just inched

318
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 5: my way forward, like year after year.

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: It was.

320
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 5: It was not like, oh, we got discovered and put

321
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 5: in this lead role in the movie. It was like

322
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 5: I really did like grind it out from like ten

323
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 5: to like fifteen of just doing tiny like bigger and

324
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 5: bigger parts like commercials and then little parts on guest stars,

325
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 5: and then slightly bigger parts and then a TV movie

326
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: and then you know what I mean. And then finally,

327
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 5: like when I was like fifteen, I got a role

328
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: in a movie. It was the first movie that I'd

329
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: ever done, and then that actually was the lead role

330
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 5: in the movie. Is this movie called The Dangerous Lives

331
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 5: of Ultra Boys with Karen Colkan and genlem Alone and

332
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 5: they're both great and wait.

333
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: Was it Jody Foster in that movie too, and.

334
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 5: Jody Yeah, Jody and Jody produced it too.

335
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: Just a few little actors you work with, Yeah.

336
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and we had and that was just it

337
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: was It was cool. So you know, I had a

338
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: you know, from then, I just kind of kept doing it,

339
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 5: and it was a thing where I think halfway like

340
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: in like my late teens, mid teens, like I started

341
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: really like getting into other older actors, you know, like

342
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: Sean Penn and Marlon Brando and you know Meryl Street

343
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: Caitlin's like he's just great, yeah, just great actors and

344
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: like studying them for the first time and really appreciating them.

345
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 5: I remember my sister's boyfriend when I was like fourteen

346
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 5: or fifteen. He was like this shaved head Buddhist monk dude,

347
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 5: who's cool, but he was like obsessed with Brando When

348
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 5: he sat me down and played street car named Desire

349
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 5: and was like watch his every move. Here's the genius

350
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: and I was like what And then I started watching

351
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 5: and I was like, wow, you kind of got a point, Alex.

352
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Dude, that's amazing. I remember the first time I saw

353
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: you step into the scene, which I must have been

354
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: maybe high school, and you did The Girl next Door. Yeah,

355
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: And it's crazy to me because that movie was very

356
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: lighthearted and fun. And then you're doing movies with you know,

357
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Mark Wahlberg, and then you did you know I once

358
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: upon a time in Hollywood, Like your range is incredible

359
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: and effortless.

360
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: It's insane, and I want to I want to say

361
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: something to that effect. I mean, I got to work

362
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: with one loan survivor and an epic film that I

363
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 3: think we both feel is probably a special moment in

364
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 3: both of our lives. But I got to tell you

365
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: Into the Wild is, and I'm still a fan girl over.

366
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 2: Into the Wild.

367
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: Just tell I know you've done this one hundred times,

368
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 3: but just give us, like how brutal was the production period?

369
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 3: How long was it and what were the what was

370
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: the environment like? Because you know me, you could call

371
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: me at the four Seasons of the Rets. That's that's

372
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: about as brutal as.

373
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: I can feel.

374
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: That's funny.

375
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, but tell me how, like, was it really as

376
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: ruthless as the film feels when you're watching it?

377
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 5: The environment, I mean, I would say, And obviously I

378
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 5: haven't been on every movie shoot and actor's ever done,

379
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: but in terms of like the physical and mental pressure,

380
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: I honestly don't know if there's ever quite been a

381
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 5: role for an actor that would have that, because I

382
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 5: remember at the time being like, I like, I don't

383
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 5: even know if I can, Like this is so hard,

384
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: this is like I was like, I don't know, Like

385
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: I think I did it because I was twenty one, right,

386
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: and I was really really like so motivated. I knew

387
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: I had the role of a lifetime. I worshiped Sean Pan.

388
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 5: I still worship Sean.

389
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: Oh, He's the greatest.

390
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 5: He's just a god to me, to the point where

391
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 5: it's actually like affected our friendship because I'm just such

392
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: a sick a fan around them, and you know, he

393
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: like he hates that, you know what I mean, but

394
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 5: just like I can't help, but I just like I'm

395
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 5: normal around most people, and then I get around Sean

396
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 5: and I just turn into this fan girl, and I

397
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 5: know he's just disgusted, and I can't. I can't, I can't.

398
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm dying.

399
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: This is the fun. I mean, what's crazy if people

400
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: don't know? And I know you're a very private person

401
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 3: and so we appreciate you being on here, but like

402
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: you're around the biggest movie stars in the world, and

403
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: a lot of them are your friends because you guys

404
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: just grew up together. So for you to like even

405
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: have this conversation that you're in awe of Seana is like,

406
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: it's just it's crazy to me because I know the

407
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: kinds of actors that you're friends with and and and create.

408
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: So that's that's amazing that you still have that kind

409
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: of you know thing.

410
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Sean he just he has this fiery

411
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 5: heart of integrity and courage and his drive and it

412
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 5: just it extends to so many different aspects of his

413
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 5: life and everything, all the activity activism he does in

414
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 5: the humanitarian work. He's just he's so the man. And

415
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 5: making that film, like because I felt the way I

416
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 5: did about Sean, it was like I did whatever that

417
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 5: was asked, and you know, I wasn't like known or anything,

418
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: Like I could not imagine any movie star doing that

419
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 5: at all. There's just no like there's there's no way.

420
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: Was there ever a moment on that movie where you

421
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: ever asked yourself like, holy shit, this is really scary,

422
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: Like this is a moment I've been here, Like they're

423
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: really pushing the boundaries, the environment is really fucking with you,

424
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: or you know, did you always just feel like, Okay,

425
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: it's just a tough shoot, Like just curious at twenty one?

426
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 2: Did you ever have that moment?

427
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 5: I mean, there were there were so many times that

428
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 5: I felt like that that it was almost like when

429
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: I didn't feel like that, I noticed it. I was like, oh, wow,

430
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: I don't feel like you know, because so much because

431
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 5: we didn't there was no stuntman, so the all the

432
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 5: hiking and the kind of the wildness it was. It

433
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 5: was just the most physical part I've ever done. And

434
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 5: then when you mix that on top with the kind

435
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: of the isolation of the role and how the pressure

436
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 5: as a performer of being so solo in that capacity

437
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 5: for such a long period of time also is like

438
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 5: a little bit of play. And then when we did

439
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 5: the weight loss, Oh.

440
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many how many pounds did you lose for that?

441
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: Yeah? I'm sure a lot of our listeners want to

442
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: know how you lost what forty pounds for this role?

443
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 5: Oh? It was like, yeah, it was like forty two.

444
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 5: So I basically I started running like a beast early on,

445
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 5: like a beast because I was actually a little bit

446
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: out of shape when I got the part, and Sean

447
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 5: was like, you should get real fit, even to just

448
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 5: be the normal Chrisma canas because mcalleas was fit. So

449
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 5: I lost a bunch of weight even before we started shooting,

450
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 5: and then once we were shooting, I just became a runner,

451
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: salad eater. And then when we did the maximum weight

452
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 5: loss part, it was like we shut down for like

453
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: two and a half weeks and I was doing like

454
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 5: this tiny, tiny, tiny diet of eating little protein shakes,

455
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: but I was doing two spin classes a day, one

456
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 5: in the morning and one in the late afternoon, and

457
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 5: it was like maximum That was definitely the I think

458
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 5: the hardest thing I've ever done, because it was like

459
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 5: two months or so where I was like all I

460
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 5: could think about was food.

461
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: Of course, when you're being deprived of it. Yeah, on

462
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: top of you know, anyone who does spin classes, even

463
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: just one, I can't imagine doing two today. That is

464
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: so taxing on your body.

465
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard, and like eating nothing between the classes

466
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 5: was like it was just really extreme.

467
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Dude, you're a legend. You're gonna hear legendary.

468
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time losing three pounds, let

00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: alone forty two.

470
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: But that's what the the funny part is that I do.

471
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 5: I do too. It's not like I could do that regularly.

472
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: You know, It's like it it takes. It takes like

473
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 5: that kind of you know, situation to sort of bring

474
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 5: that out of you where you know, it's like you know,

475
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 5: the you know, the pressures on and you wanted I

476
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 5: wanted to do it right, and that role and that

477
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 5: story meant so much to me, and I knew I

478
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 5: think I really didn't know at the time that the

479
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 5: movie was going to be like remembered for a long time,

480
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: because like even now, it's crazy, Like I get messages

Speaker 5: from people in every country around the world on Instagram

482
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 5: and stuff that have seen the movie and they're like

483
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 5: obsessed with it, and like every country like it's crazy.

484
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 5: It's like smash hit in India, It's smash hit in Asia.

485
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: You know, it's smash it in South America. And the people,

486
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 5: the people that really get into it are like it's

487
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 5: not a normal movie experience for them, you know it

488
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 5: like really is it? Like a lot of people feel

489
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 5: like it's changed their lives in.

490
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: Wow huge way.

491
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 3: I want to say to that it really resonated even

492
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 3: to this day with me, and I agree with Neil.

493
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 3: It's just when a movie has that kind of effect

494
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 3: on such a mass amount of people, you really did

495
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: something special. And I know that's what we all dream

496
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 3: and that's why we make movies. And that movie checked

497
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 3: every box. In my opinion, it's just every box on

498
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: every level.

499
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: It just was. It's just there's nothing that you know.

500
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 3: You could criticize so many movies for so many different

501
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 3: reasons we all do. There are a few movies that

502
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 3: you cannot and that's one of them.

503
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: So I'll give you mad thanks.

504
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: Ugh. Yeah, it's a we're.

Speaker 1: their craft as much as you do and just bringing

515

516
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: want to feel something is truly incredible. You don't find

517
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: that very often in actors. You know, it's just something

518
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: where they show up, they do their job. But the

519
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: way he was, the way a Mill was talking about

531
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 3: working with the great Quentin Tarantino and the cast, you know,

532
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, Leo's one of your Leo DiCaprio

Speaker 3: you work with, I know, you know.

535
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 2: Just what's the takeaway? How epic was it?

536
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 5: Well? It originated where I got a message on Facebook

537
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 5: a friend request from a little from a doll. It

538
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: was like a doll emoji or something that said Quentin Tarantino,

539
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 5: and I was like what I was like, is this

540
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 5: like some weird catfish or something? So I click, I

541
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 5: like clicked onto like mutual friends, and I was like, wow,

542
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 5: well he turns with that person. That person's like not

543
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 5: like that. That person's kind of legit. So I like

544
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 5: accepted the friend request and then I got this message

545
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 5: like hey me, what's up? And I was like, uh,

546
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 5: is this you? And he's like yeah, I'm like working

547
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: on a project. Might have like a part that you

548
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: might be right for. And I was like, oh my god.

549
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 5: If this is some like Sri Lankan teenager in a

550
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: basement right now, I'm going to be so annoyed. And

551
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, no, this is me? Is this

552
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 5: you like this? This would really be cool if this

553
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 5: is you. And he's like it's me and I was

554
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 5: like okay, and he's like I'll keep you updated. So

555
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: like months went by and I wouldn't hear from this

556
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 5: Facebook account and every now, and I'd be like, oh,

557
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 5: you know, I'm still kind of progressing and this and this,

558
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: but I still didn't know if it was real. Oh

559
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 5: and I was so I was so excited. And originally,

560
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: like I asked my agent, I was like this, this

561
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 5: guy claiming to be Quentin Tarantino sent me a message

562
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 5: that he might be in his movie. And my agent

563
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: was kind of like, sounds a little you know, yeah,

564
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 5: like you know, like you might be a little hopeful kid.

565
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 5: But it turned out to really be a real thing.

566
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 5: And it was like almost a year later that the

567
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 5: movie even into production. Like he really hit me up early,

568
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 5: and he had seen this movie, I did The Autopsy

569
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: of Jane Doe. He'd watched it with Eli Ross and

570
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 5: they just loved this movie. And he just he saw

571
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 5: me as this character j C. Bring, who was this

572
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 5: amazing hairstylence of the Error era, and he just was like,

573
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 5: he's the guy, and Quinn is He's really He's just

574
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 5: a great He's a great guy. He's got a huge heart.

575
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 5: He's just got this turbine engine of a mind that

576
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: just never stops. And I really, you know, he was

577
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 5: he was such a cool gentleman throughout the process, and

578
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 5: I have obviously I was so in awe of him

579
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 5: for such a long time and the chance to get

580
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 5: to work alongside him and Margo and Leo, and it

581
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 5: was just it really felt like for me at the time,

582
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 5: it was like if you get to do a Queen Tuarantine,

583
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 5: that like that's the excite the most exciting director and

584
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 5: actor could want to work with, you know. It's just

585
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: that that excitement that zing, and it was it was amazing.

586
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 5: It was it was really amazing. And it's funny because

587
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 5: my biggest flaw for the people that I really admire

588
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 5: is like, it's just I get starstruck by people. It's

589
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 5: hard for me to like relax, you know, interesting to

590
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 5: hear that well when Tarantino says action, it's like, it's

591
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 5: just it's so hard for me to like be chill.

592
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 5: I'm just like, oh my god.

593
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 3: It's like it's like a moment that you know is

594
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: going to be in history, because it's just everything Quentin Tarantino,

595
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: like Martin Scorsese, they make films that stand for generations.

596
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 3: So you probably know subconsciously deep inside, like you are

597
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: putting your mark in history.

598
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: I feel like the feeling of you know, Quentin Tarantino

599
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: yelling action on you would feel like you just got

600
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: pushed out of an airplane like that, Like the amount

601
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: of anxiety I would feel because he's the greatest and

602
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: like like you're saying a meal, it's like you've been

603
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: a fan of his work for such a long time

604
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: and he's so incredible that you do. I would totally

605
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: be starstruck too, And I don't really care about anybody.

606
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 2: I know that both of you can relate.

607
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 3: Like when I call action on my set a meal,

608
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: it's kind of the same thing.

609
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: You just have a like total like rush of adrenaline.

610
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 5: But in a way too, Like Randal, like when we

611
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 5: work together, I feel like because we were friends before,

612
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,719
Speaker 5: it's so it's just there's a familiarity there. And I

613
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: really understand why actors work with directors over and over again,

614
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 5: because you know, the familiarity is great. You know, the

615
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 5: movie that I shot right before we started shooting our

616
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: film was this movie Some that I did with this

617
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 5: Irish director, Ivan Kavanaugh, and it was the second film.

618
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 5: It was the first time I worked with a director twice,

619
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: and it was like really kind of different experience of

620
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 5: making a movie. And I realized then for actors, just

621
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 5: how much of a psychological effect the director has on

622
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 5: all the actors. It is massive. It changes the experience.

623
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: I want to add to that.

624
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: You know, I'm going to tell you something, Meil, and

625
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 3: I didn't tell you that before because we were just

626
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: so caught up in the movie, in the moment and creating.

627
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 3: But I told my partner George, I said, you know,

628
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: I thank god you came to the table first, because

629
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: you're right, even though it was my first movie directing

630
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: and we had done many movies before this as a

631
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: producer actor relationship, you made me feel very comfortable and

632
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: I almost you know, I used you as a sounding board,

633
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: you know. I came to you many times and the

634
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: prepar you know, the pre process, and i'd get your

635
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 3: opinion and your advice because you are my friend and

636
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 3: I do trust you and I respect your work. So

637
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: when we got on set, I was probably the most

638
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: comfortable with you because I know you and I knew

639
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 3: that I could do things with you. And you know

640
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: what I mean, because I just have that relationship and

641
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: I agree with you. It makes sense to me now

642
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: why directors and actors stick together when they have a

643
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: good creative relationship because it is familiarity and it opens

644
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: up the creative process even more so.

645
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 5: I absolutely even the first day we were shooting on

646
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: midnight in the Switchcraft so our film, I was like,

647
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: I felt so relaxed, and I was like, oh man,

648
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 5: it was.

649
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: It was great, you know.

650
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 5: And whenever I feel like that, it just the best

651
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: always comes out of me. It's just that's just the

652
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 5: way it is. That's what Robert de Niro even said

653
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 5: that in an interview. He was like, the most important

654
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 5: thing for actors is to be just relaxed. You know.

655
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: I agree with you, and I'll tell you something I have.

656
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: I was the most relaxed day one. I probably would

657
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: have been like an insane asylum patient, but because you know,

658
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 3: I had you there on day one, it was the

659
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 3: same for me. I literally was like, dude, I got this.

660
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: This is my friend of mine and he's here to

661
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,719
Speaker 3: create and I trust him and he's going to just

662
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: bring it.

663
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: And this actor director romance that you guys have it's

664
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: really sweet. I really love that.

665
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 3: Wait one last thing before because I want to talk

666
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: about the music. I gotta tell a story. People don't

667
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: realize that Carnies, Emil and I. It's our favorite hamburger place.

668
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 3: There's one on Sunset, one on Ventura. How many movies

669
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: have come out of that? When we've run into each

670
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: other at Carney's. I mean it's pretty epic.

671
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 5: I mean it's amazing. I ran into Randall. I was

672
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: eating a burger alone at Carney's and I ran into Rentald.

673
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 5: I was like, what's up, dude, what are you doing.

674
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,239
Speaker 5: He's like, what's going on? Well, I just did this

675
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,160

677
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that sounds amazing. And then you

678
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: were like it was like a light bulb went off.

679
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 5: You're like, yeah, I'm gonna call your agent about it tomorrow.

680
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 5: I was like, sounds good to me, this sounds amazing.

681
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: This it is all so Hollywood. Can I tell you

682
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: this is like the shit I would imagine when I

683
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: lived in Utah, Like, I bet that's how it goes down.

684
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 3: I swear to you. I was eating I was by myself.

685
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,640

Speaker 3: we don't have a lead for this movie a Meal,

689
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: and a Meal was like, dude, send it to me.

690
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,720

695
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: but now I love Carnie. And and by the way,

696

697
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 5: couple of times. Sports of Nature Michael Polish's movie, and

698
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,000

00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 5: is like mel is vintage mel It's like the part

700
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,160

Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, okay, Meil, I have the movie. I

706
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: have seen that movie, and it's fun. I have to

707
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: ask you about your new music. I'm a music head.

708
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: Tell me everything, Yeah.

709
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 2: How did this start? And everything? Tell us?

710
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: Well, the music originally started. I did this movie with JK.

711
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: Simmons called All Nighter, and I played a bluegrass singer

712
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 5: and they gave me like a real band to work

713
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 5: with for a few songs. I had to sing in

714
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 5: the movie, and my buddy was I played a cover

715
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 5: song we did my brother. My buddy was like, that's cool.

716
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 5: He's like, why don't you record some originals. So I

717
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 5: started sitting down and I started like writing out melodies

718
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 5: and lyrics, and then I took them to the band

719
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 5: and they were like, these are cool. So we ended

720
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: up literally recording an entire bluegrass album in the genre

721
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 5: of the band player that I did. So it was

722
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: like some weird, like messed actor experiment where it's like

723
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 5: I made the album of the character's band and we

724
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 5: like released it. It's called the album was called Simple Things.

725
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 5: It's actually out by our band name in the movie

726
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 5: was Hysterical Kindness, and we kept that. Oh and I really,

727
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 5: I really enjoyed the process of songwriting so much that

728
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: I kept writing songs after the movie. And this was

729
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 5: five This was five years ago now, so I've been

730
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: songwriting for the last five years, and I've been working

731
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 5: with like different producers, and I moved on from the

732
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: guys that did hystorical kindness because they were kind of

733
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 5: getting into some other stuff and I worked with these

734
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 5: other kind of rock producers and different and then I

735
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 5: finally found this French guy and the Frenchman Matchiu Carratier, Okay,

736
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 5: and he he was He's like this French Urson Weld

737
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 5: kind of dude who's like so talented and kind of

738
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 5: very like just like a dark, like gutey voice, very

739
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 5: serious kind of guy. And he was. We had a

740
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 5: mutual friend and we made one song together and I

741
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 5: was like, this is kind of like a this is

742
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 5: an interesting sound. And we made a few songs and

743
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 5: then we finally kind of hit the vein of almost

744
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 5: like kind of like the Weekend song Blinding Lights, where

745
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 5: it's got a little like retro eighties, but it's like

746
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 5: it feels fresh and new, almost like it could be

747
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 5: on The Drive soundtrack or something, and we just we

748
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 5: just really we just really pushed in that direction, and

749
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: we worked NonStop pretty much for like almost a year,

750
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 5: and we made this album called Mnemonic, somewhat based off

751
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 5: the Johnny Knaemonic movie, which I thought, I just love

752
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 5: that word mnemonic and it's like device and I.

753
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: Was like, yeah, no, it's really good. And whereable where

754

Speaker 5: out now twenty two songs. We just put this song

762
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 5: out last week called Favors, which is actually probably it's

763
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 5: kind of considered by like the music people in the

764
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 5: radio world to be our best most commercial song or whatnot.

765
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 5: And it's you know what's crazy. I sent it to

766
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 5: this buddy of mine, this guy Steven Servanka, and he

767
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,480

Speaker 2: This is we're gonna download this.

783
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: You you just start like, how long have you been

784
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: doing music? Like you said, you have twenty two songs

785
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: that you that you guys have done. When did you

786
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: do your first song?

787
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 5: The first song was the first album for uh that

788
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 5: was five years ago for the Okay movie. So we

789
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 5: recorded a whole bluegrass album. I really cut my teeth

790
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,479
Speaker 5: on the process of songwriting and everything like that and

791
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 5: learning about it, and then I made a bunch of

792
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 5: songs with other producers in between over the years. And

793
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 5: then like a year and a half ago, me and

794
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 5: Matthew started working together and then we just kind of

795
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 5: really partnered up and made this our main jam and

796
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 5: we've been we've been making songs during quarantine. I'll like

797
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 5: send them my ideas and we'll get together and we

798
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 5: even like recorded like socially distanced, where like I bought

799
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: them like a forty foot microphone ports like in the

800
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 5: other wing of I'm in the other wing of the house,

801
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. Yeah, so we're we're still

802
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 5: going for it. And like, for me, it's just something

803
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 5: that I love doing, and I you know, I love

804
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 5: music and it's not it's not like about like it's

805
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 5: definitely not about money because in order to make money

806
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 5: in the music business, Like I looked at the money

807
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,280
Speaker 5: that we made, it was like, uve me five.

808
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 1: Hundred dollars exactly.

809
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 5: Like it's that it's a really tough business to like

810
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 5: make money. But for me, I just love music. And

811
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 5: there's a longevity to it too, Like you can go

812
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 5: back and listen to songs. Someone, I still listen to

813
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 5: so many old songs like forty years ago, fifty years ago.

814
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh that's what I live off of. I live off

815
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: of all of these old school songs. And I also

816
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 1: make music. And for me, you know, I've done the

817
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: same thing that you've done where I look at it

818
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, I mean three hundred bucks this

819
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: month off that song and it's like you don't do

820
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 1: it for the money. It's so therapeutic and just fun

821
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: to do.

822
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: Will you ever go on tour meal?

823
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: Oh? I like that.

824
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 5: I would in a heartbeat for sure.

825
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 2: That's dough, that's really cool.

826
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would in a heartbeat for sure. I mean,

827
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 5: we have twenty two songs. If we get like another,

828
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 5: I don't know how many, but I really want to

829
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 5: get enough to where like if we have like a

830
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 5: live performance like lineup of songs, you know, They's just

831
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 5: the thing I don't like is when there's like one

832
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 5: song everybody wants to hear, and then the rest people

833
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 5: don't know or they don't care about like I would.

834
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 5: I would really want something that like everybody dug and right.

835
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 5: You know, there's such a there's such a stigma around

836
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 5: actors that do music right. It's honestly one of people's

837
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 5: like most relish stigmas, Like they really it's like, oh actor.

838
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 3: Music, Well, well, musicians, as you know, historically want to

839
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: act and actors want to do music. But I will

840
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 3: tell you it's so weird to have a sting. But

841
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 3: because actors are artists and artists do everything, so I

842
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 3: think like when actors do music.

843
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: It's pretty odd you grow up in the arts art.

844
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly agree with that.

845
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 5: I do think though that, you know, it did take me,

846
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 5: you know, a good five years of songwriting before we

847
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 5: started making songs that like we're getting on these types

848
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 5: of playlists that we're on on Spotify and Deezer in

849
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 5: all these places. So it wasn't It wasn't. It's definitely

850
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 5: not something that was like if you try to jump

851
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 5: into it and like make an album in a month

852
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 5: and do it for the first time, like I could

853
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 5: see how that could go real south, real quick, you know.

854
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: But I think I think because we had so much

855
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 5: time to like keep learning and listening to more music

856
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 5: and like kind of adjusting and finessing, it was I mean,

857
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 5: five years is like kind of a like I look background,

858
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:11,720
Speaker 5: I'm like, god.

859
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: That's a long time.

860
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like a long time, you know what I mean?

861
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's you you made something that is amazing because

862
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: I know exactly those people you're talking about that push

863
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: an album out in a month and you're like, you know,

864
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: the first song you can tell how much they worked

865
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 1: on it, and then the rest of the songs are

866
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: like what you were talking about like they kind of

867
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: it goes south.

868
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I gotta say, first of all, we're running

869
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,480
