Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: Final Hour on this Meet Friday. It's a brunch Friday.
Speaker 2: The Traggers are all fired up. Bacon and egg and
Speaker 2: cheese sliders, sausage sliders, lock and locks, and bagel sliders
Speaker 2: with cream cheese and also spicy bloody Mary's who has
Speaker 2: it better than we do? Nodding. Ross Tucker, a good buddy,
Speaker 2: will join us. Coming up momentarily. The great actor Brian
Speaker 2: Cranston will stop by as well. Phone number eight seven
Speaker 2: seven three, DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
Speaker 2: Twitter handle at DP show. Pacers still up, going back home.
Speaker 2: Nicks are getting four on Saturday night as they rough
Speaker 2: up the Pacers one eleven to ninety four. And we
Speaker 2: have our Stanley Cup Final. It's a rematch from last year.
Speaker 2: It's the Oilers versus the Panthers. College football closing in
Speaker 2: on a tweaked playoff model. There have been a couple
Speaker 2: of different scenario and from what I'm told from my source,
Speaker 2: it's gotten heated. It's gotten heated because the Big twelve
Speaker 2: in acc are trying to stand up to the Big
Speaker 2: ten and the SEC and that's that's where the kind
Speaker 2: of the fracture lies here, but we're talking about a
Speaker 2: lot of money at stake here, and the ACC in
Speaker 2: Big twelve, you know, tired of getting kicked to the
Speaker 2: curb and you know, losing teams that they're trying to
Speaker 2: hold on for dear life. So they get at least
Speaker 2: two automatic berths from their conferences. But that we hope
Speaker 2: to have Greg Zanke, the SEC Commissioner, on next week,
Speaker 2: and he seems to be the one kind of in
Speaker 2: the crossfire here trying to defend the SEC. Also the
Speaker 2: Big Ten as well. They seem to be partnering here,
Speaker 2: and I think the rest of college football saying, hey,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what about us. Ross Tucker, CBS Sports
Speaker 2: Westwood One, NFL college analyst and host of the Ross
Speaker 2: Tucker Football podcast. You can check him out on social
Speaker 2: media at Ross Tucker NFL. We were talking about pressure.
Speaker 2: Now it's ninety eight days until the start of the
Speaker 2: NFL season, and Paulie said it to me yesterday. He goes,
Speaker 2: you know, we're ninety nine days away, and I was thinking,
Speaker 2: all right, now's the time who has the most pressure?
Speaker 2: And then we started coming up with different levels, different
Speaker 2: tiers of most pressure. Player, team coach. Let's start there.
Speaker 2: Who has the most pressure going into this upcoming season.
Speaker 3: Ooh, that is an interesting one, and I have been
Speaker 3: paying attention on social media and listening a little bit.
Speaker 4: I kind of agree, by the way, what Paulie was
Speaker 4: saying earlier. I don't want to think that the.
Speaker 3: Giants Joe Shane and Brian Dable, I don't think they
Speaker 3: have that much pressure. I don't think anybody really thinks
Speaker 3: them that they're going to keep their job after this year.
Speaker 3: I mean, they have the hardest schedule in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I think they'll probably put Jackson Dart out there by
Speaker 3: week eight.
Speaker 5: Dan.
Speaker 4: I mean, it's funny when you really.
Speaker 3: Know the way the NFL works, which is that it's
Speaker 3: all about job preservation, right, you understand why teams operate
Speaker 3: the way they do. The Giants bring in Russell Wilson
Speaker 3: and Jamis Winston. They're gonna take a shot, and this
Speaker 3: is their first shot this year to try to be good,
Speaker 3: try to be competitive, have Russell go out there. Maybe
Speaker 3: they can get to five hundred and that's enough for
Speaker 3: another year.
Speaker 4: If it doesn't go.
Speaker 3: Well midway through the year, you put in Jackson Dart,
Speaker 3: you hope that he shows enough or does enough that
Speaker 3: ownership wants to give you another year. It really is
Speaker 3: funny to me to see how many of these moves
Speaker 3: are made really with self interest in mind. So that's
Speaker 3: a different kind of pressure because I think that most people,
Speaker 3: myself included, I don't expect either one of those to work.
Speaker 4: I think that.
Speaker 3: Shane and Dable probably will be gone this year. Maybe
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, we'll see. Then there's a totally different pressure
Speaker 3: for like the Josh Allen Sean McDermott combo, or the
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson John Harball combo. Neither one of those quarterbacks
Speaker 3: are going anywhere, but you know, we do frame the
Speaker 3: conversation differently if they keep coming up short in the
Speaker 3: postseason for those guys. The interesting thing there, Dan is
Speaker 3: if neither one of them makes it to the AFC
Speaker 3: Championship Game this year, you wonder if at some point
Speaker 3: either Terry Pigoula, the owner of the Bills, or Steve Bishetty,
Speaker 3: the owner of the Ravens, says man, we got a
Speaker 3: really good team, We've got a really good roster.
Speaker 4: We have one of the three or four best quarterbacks
Speaker 4: in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Maybe we just need to change something because it feels
Speaker 3: like both those teams have kind of been banging their
Speaker 3: head against the wall the last five years trying to
Speaker 3: get past the Chiefs, trying to get to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2: That's a lot there. I would say definitely Lamar Jackson
Speaker 2: and John Harball. Hardball's career is similar to Mike Tomlin.
Speaker 2: You know, when you look at they always have a
Speaker 2: good product out there. You know five you know, always
Speaker 2: over five hundred. It feels like, and they both have
Speaker 2: one Super Bowl. Would Mike Tomlin still have his job
Speaker 2: if he didn't have that one Super Bowl?
Speaker 3: I don't think with many franchises, but I think the
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steelers are just so consistent and so stoked in
Speaker 3: trying to keep as much loyalty as they can.
Speaker 4: And I think, to be honest with you, I give
Speaker 4: him a lot of credit.
Speaker 3: It's funny because where I live, I know a lot
Speaker 3: of Steelers fans, Dan, and a lot of them are
Speaker 3: really down on Tomlin, right, They really do not like Tomlin.
Speaker 3: And I guess I would say to them, is he's
Speaker 3: won a lot of football games.
Speaker 4: I heard you talking.
Speaker 3: Earlier, Dan, without really having a top half of the
Speaker 3: League quarterback.
Speaker 4: I mean, that is so hard to do. Now.
Speaker 3: What's interesting there is how much power does he have
Speaker 3: over the personnel over the last few years? In other words,
Speaker 3: how much of that do you put right and directly
Speaker 3: on Mike Tomlin. I think that him winning that Super
Speaker 3: Bowl obviously helps quite a bit the difference between the
Speaker 3: Ravens and the Steelers. As I know, you know, Steelers
Speaker 3: haven't won a playoff game in a long time. However,
Speaker 3: Steelers haven't had Lamar Jackson either, so you could actually
Speaker 3: have a really healthy debate and discussion as to which
Speaker 3: coach is better.
Speaker 4: I think Tomlin or Harbaugh. I think both of them.
Speaker 3: If they were ever let go, there'd be a dozen
Speaker 3: teams that would look to hire them because they're considered
Speaker 3: top ten, if not top five coaches in the NFL.
Speaker 2: We talked about the pressure on Trevor Lawrence. At some
Speaker 2: point he has to show are you one of the
Speaker 2: top five seven quarterbacks? You're being paid that way? The
Speaker 2: pressure on Tua and Mike McDaniel in Miami that this
Speaker 2: might be a make or break year for at least
Speaker 2: the coach. Which one has more pressure Tua the Dolphins
Speaker 2: or Trevor Lawrence with Jacksonville.
Speaker 3: So I think Trevor Lawrence has more pressure because this
Speaker 3: is now his third head coach right, Whereas Tua I
Speaker 3: think has played pretty well. It's been more of the
Speaker 3: injury issues and the concussions. But if the Dolphins have
Speaker 3: a down year, I think they fire McDaniel and I
Speaker 3: think Tua is still the starting quarterback with a new
Speaker 3: head coach. If Trevor Lawrence really struggles, then you kind
Speaker 3: of wonder what Liam Cohen and Tony Vasselli and Glad
Speaker 3: Stone and the new regime starts to think. Now, I
Speaker 3: think Trevor just.
Speaker 4: Got a deal.
Speaker 3: They maybe both just got contracts before the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four season, if memory serves, might have been twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three for one of those guys, So they got money
Speaker 3: fairly recently, so it would be a little bit messy
Speaker 3: to move on. But I think out of those two
Speaker 3: players in particular, I think it's on Lawrence, and I
Speaker 3: think he gets a pass nationally way way more than
Speaker 3: he should.
Speaker 2: He's Ross Tucker with the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. Also
Speaker 2: you can hear him and see him on the NFL
Speaker 2: in college football with CBS Sports and Westwood One pressure
Speaker 2: on Justin Herbert or do we look at it's Jim
Speaker 2: Harbaugh who has that pressure? Like who has more pressure?
Speaker 2: If you're gonna divvy it up with the quarterback and
Speaker 2: the coach with the Chargers.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's fifty to fifty. If anything, though,
Speaker 3: I would probably lean to Herbert because again, this is
Speaker 3: a scenario where this is a second head coach for him.
Speaker 3: You know, Harbaugh kind of comes in the Chargers were down,
Speaker 3: he leads him to the playoffs. And Harbaugh has a
Speaker 3: significant track record of success with the Niners, with Michigan,
Speaker 3: even going back to Stanford. Right, Herbert not as much,
Speaker 3: And in particular, there's a perception, right or wrong, that
Speaker 3: Herbert doesn't play his best when it matters the most.
Speaker 3: I almost felt bad for him in that playoff game
Speaker 3: against the Texans because I knew what was coming. And
Speaker 3: so I like to go into a year and look
Speaker 3: at which quarterbacks. Man, it's really it's more on them now,
Speaker 3: and I think.
Speaker 4: Herbert's one of those guys. I think Caleb Williams.
Speaker 3: I know it's only a year two Dan, but the
Speaker 3: Bears did something they've never done before, which is paid
Speaker 3: top dollar for a head coach.
Speaker 4: They redid the whole old.
Speaker 3: Line, okay, interior offensive line in front of him. The
Speaker 3: first two picks, Colston Lovelin with the tenth pick Luther
Speaker 3: Burden with a top ten second round pick, are both
Speaker 3: skill guys. The Bears are doing everything possible to try
Speaker 3: to set up Kayleb Williams for success. Now, you got
Speaker 3: those quotes from the book with Wickersham, which will come out,
Speaker 3: you know, the day after the Bears first game. I
Speaker 3: think there's a little bit of sneaky pressure on Williams
Speaker 3: because those quotes and that book have kind of put
Speaker 3: even more of a spotlight on him than there already was.
Speaker 4: And it feels like whenever you're one of these.
Speaker 3: Number one pick guys, Trevor Lawrence, Kayleb Williams, whoever, people
Speaker 3: want to blame everybody else as long as they can,
Speaker 3: especially the fans, right like Jacksonville fans. It's almost like
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback Stan It's like a religion and people people
Speaker 3: want to hang on.
Speaker 4: To that belief as long as they can.
Speaker 3: Jaguars fans want to believe in Trevor Lawrence until they
Speaker 3: absolutely can't. Bears fans want to believe in Caleb so
Speaker 3: so badly, but with the microscope on him this year,
Speaker 3: if he struggles, I think that could be interesting as well.
Speaker 2: I'm also wondering about you know, the Niners were on
Speaker 2: the clock with a lot of pressure the last couple
Speaker 2: of years. You know, they do make it to a
Speaker 2: super Bowl, you make it to you know, conference final,
Speaker 2: But I don't know if we're applying the pressure that
Speaker 2: was on them before.
Speaker 4: It's weird.
Speaker 2: We kind of moved on. Now it's the Lions that
Speaker 2: it feels like there's more pressure on Detroit than it
Speaker 2: is San Francisco. Do you see it that way?
Speaker 4: I understand why some people do. I don't think that
Speaker 4: should be the case at all.
Speaker 3: I mean, the Niners are coming off of a six
Speaker 3: and eleven season. If they have another down year, they
Speaker 3: have some serious question to ask because their core isn't
Speaker 3: getting any younger, right, I mean, Trent Williams at left tackle, McCaffrey,
Speaker 3: you know, we don't know if Christian will ever come
Speaker 3: back and be the guy he was.
Speaker 4: We know they've now locked up party, but Kittle's not.
Speaker 3: Getting younger, you know, And I wonder, you know, I
Speaker 3: applaud organizations that show patients, and even after the Niners
Speaker 3: have a down year here or down year there, they
Speaker 3: recognize they have a good coach and Kyle Shanahan. Two
Speaker 3: down years in a row, things get a little bit different.
Speaker 3: Then things get a little bit tighter. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen, because I think they're gonna be very good.
Speaker 4: They have the easiest schedule in the NFL.
Speaker 3: I think the Niners are actually gonna bounce back in
Speaker 3: a major way. But if they don't, if they have
Speaker 3: another losing season, things will get very interesting there. That
Speaker 3: there is some in Detroit, Dan but and maybe because
Speaker 3: of the fact they lost both coordinators and there's this
Speaker 3: feeling that, man, this is their window to get over
Speaker 3: the hump. But I have a tough time picturing them
Speaker 3: making any major change in Detroit after this season, barring
Speaker 3: something totally unforeseen, because you have to remember, it's been
Speaker 3: a long time since we were even talking about there
Speaker 3: being pressure in Detroit, because they're even good enough to
Speaker 3: have pressure.
Speaker 2: I'll leave you with this with the flag football with
Speaker 2: the US team, this has been suggested, could we get
Speaker 2: an NFL team that goes against the best flag football
Speaker 2: team that's out there, and then the winner gets to
Speaker 2: go and represent the United States in flag football. I
Speaker 2: think it'd be musty TV if people are going to
Speaker 2: be shocked when they look at guys who do are
Speaker 2: professional flag football players, just how different it is, how
Speaker 2: different they play than the NFL. But if you did,
Speaker 2: here's your NFL team, and I'm going to get the
Speaker 2: best flag football team. The winner represents the United States
Speaker 2: and the Olympics.
Speaker 3: I think it's an incredible idea. I think I saw
Speaker 3: where you know, maybe my buddy Jason Kelcey was talking
Speaker 3: about that as well. I think the guys that have
Speaker 3: been playing flag football for years, I think they deserve
Speaker 3: that opportunity.
Speaker 4: I would watch that game.
Speaker 3: That would maybe be like the second flag football game
Speaker 3: I've ever watched, because I watched a couple of years
Speaker 3: ago if you remember, I can't remember what it was,
Speaker 3: but these full time flag football guys they played against
Speaker 3: former NFL guys like Seneca Wallace was the quarterback for
Speaker 3: the other team, you know, for the former NFL.
Speaker 4: And they beat him, and they beat him bad. You know,
Speaker 4: the flag current flag football guys beat the former NFL guys.
Speaker 3: That said, I don't know how much time the former
Speaker 3: NFL guys put into it, if you gave actual NFL
Speaker 3: players a month to really understand the game the rules,
Speaker 3: because the rules are.
Speaker 4: Different, they're unique.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty confident that they would beat the flag football guys,
Speaker 3: but it still.
Speaker 4: Would be very entertaining to watch.
Speaker 3: And I think it's like it's like a pros versus
Speaker 3: Joe's thing, right.
Speaker 4: Everybody would kind of tune in to.
Speaker 3: See how these guys would do against the guys that
Speaker 3: are used to seeing in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs didn't invite you on the yacht, did he? No?
Speaker 4: I was not invited on the yacht.
Speaker 3: I will say this, I am open to any yacht
Speaker 3: invitations ever.
Speaker 4: I'm a big yacht guy.
Speaker 3: I just don't know enough people that have yachts or
Speaker 3: super yachts.
Speaker 2: You're a boat guy, You're not a yacht guy.
Speaker 3: I'm a pontoon boat guy with a cooler full of
Speaker 3: beer and just floating down the river.
Speaker 4: I don't need a yet. What Okay, let me ask them.
Speaker 3: Why would you pay hundreds of millions of dollars for
Speaker 3: a yacht when you can just go in the river
Speaker 3: or even in a stream on like a kayak. And
Speaker 3: have a cooler of beer there, and it's the same thing.
Speaker 3: You're in water, you're drinking beer either way, what's the difference.
Speaker 2: The shorties don't like a kayak, I'm just gonna be
Speaker 2: honest with you. But a pontoon, you know, they might
Speaker 2: be interested in a floating living room there, but uh.
Speaker 4: Pontoon boats are the party boats, man, They're awesome.
Speaker 2: That's what I got. Yeah, that's that's what I got.

Speaker 8: We got to get right to the meet DP.
Speaker 5: Okay, and by the way, I miss I miss saying
Speaker 5: the opening stats. I always like to go seven foot
Speaker 5: four one and fourteen times?
Speaker 2: Give me what is your what is your height? Wait?
Speaker 8: My height and weight?
Speaker 5: Well, I used to be six foot but I'm probably
Speaker 5: five to eleven now my weight is one eighty two.
Speaker 8: I'd like to get that down.
Speaker 2: But do you why about your height or weight? Do
Speaker 2: actors do that?
Speaker 8: Of course we do? Why why would you not?
Speaker 2: Okay? Now I was told this before that it's harder
Speaker 2: to be a better actor, great actor if you're taller.
Speaker 5: Any truth, there are few actors of great height who
Speaker 5: are actually who actually became stars, much many more who
Speaker 5: were smaller. But it is also true that most actors
Speaker 5: who become stars have large heads, elephant titus heads, you know,
Speaker 5: they have to have prop prop them up over there.
Speaker 5: And blue eyes if you have light eyes.
Speaker 2: Really yeah, okay, who's got a big noggin? That's a
Speaker 2: great actor. Well you just think about any brando grab
Speaker 2: a big head.
Speaker 5: Oh well, enormous like a coconut.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he was.
Speaker 5: And all I mean, all these people, even even the women,
Speaker 5: the women who have larger heads have a better chance
Speaker 5: to be a movie star.
Speaker 2: That's not true. That's not true.
Speaker 8: Well I'm trying.
Speaker 2: You know, David Hasselhoff had a big head, but not
Speaker 2: a great actor.
Speaker 8: He was. He's a lovely guy. I was gonna say
Speaker 8: he was a lovely guy. But he's still alive. Nice guy.
Speaker 5: I did an episode of bay Watch back in the
Speaker 5: day where I played I think my character name was
Speaker 5: like drunken boat captain or something like that.
Speaker 2: But you didn't have a speedo on like you weren't
Speaker 2: running in slow motion on Baywater.
Speaker 5: No. No, when I'm in a skimpy underwear, it's full
Speaker 5: on motion everything you want to see everything, apparently.
Speaker 2: But did Walter White have to wear tidy whities?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 5: You know, it was interesting because after seven years of
Speaker 5: Malcolm in the Middle, where Hal wore tidy whities because
Speaker 5: I thought it was appropriate because he was just a
Speaker 5: big boy, so he never really grew up. And for
Speaker 5: some reason, Vince Gilligan wrote that Walter White wore tidy whities.
Speaker 5: And I went to the wardrobe call and I said, well,
Speaker 5: I just did seven years. So I tried on boxers
Speaker 5: and I tried on law and it's like, you know what,
Speaker 5: there's some reason that he did this, and I'm just
Speaker 5: gonna go with it. And that image of him in
Speaker 5: the desert, that first poster of the gun and his
Speaker 5: tidy whities, is so pathetic that I thought, oh, that's
Speaker 5: I think that's the image he wanted.
Speaker 8: To go for.
Speaker 2: But how often do you question when you have a
Speaker 2: director or there's something on the page where you offer feedback,
Speaker 2: or you're going to stand up for what you think
Speaker 2: might be right all.
Speaker 8: The time, all the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're constantly making adjustments. I just did a couple
Speaker 5: episodes of the show of the Studio where my character
Speaker 5: at the end shows up in leopard, very skinny bikini
Speaker 5: briefs which I chose, and stockings with garter clips and
Speaker 5: a girdle, and where he wears a Dicky is the
Speaker 5: most ridiculous looking guy in the world.
Speaker 8: And I wanted all.
Speaker 5: Of those things, and so we just adjusted it to
Speaker 5: those and I surprised seth Rogen when I walked out
Speaker 5: of the room and he saw me for the first
Speaker 5: time on camera.
Speaker 2: It's a great character because it came out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: you know, first episode and I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, this combination of you're gonna try
Speaker 2: to bring in every studio head of all the things
Speaker 2: that are negative about them or over the top about them,
Speaker 2: and you just kind of combined it with one character,
Speaker 2: and it was like, all right, Yeah, that's Hollywood right there.
Speaker 8: It is kind of patterned.
Speaker 5: I patterned him after Robert Evans, famous studio head of
Speaker 5: the Paramount in the seventies, did great movies, but he
Speaker 5: was always super tam bleached, his teeth, he always wore
Speaker 5: very masculine clothes.
Speaker 8: He was that kind of guy. His shirt was unbuttoned.
Speaker 5: To his navel, you know, and it was hey, maybe
Speaker 5: you know that, dude, So that's more fun to play
Speaker 5: a guy like that.
Speaker 2: I got the picture here from Baywatch, PAULI sent it
Speaker 2: to me. Wow, okay, those are short shorts you got on,
Speaker 2: by the way.
Speaker 8: Those were the times. Don't tell me you didn't.
Speaker 2: Have short shorts in that I did in this idea.
Speaker 8: Everybody did remember the NBA back in the day.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I you know, growing up I had short shorts.
Speaker 2: And John Stockton I think was like the last holdout,
Speaker 2: like you know, he was the last guy to wear
Speaker 2: short shorts. Do you have on this episode? Yeah? With
Speaker 2: Brian on.
Speaker 9: Babas that fine episode of Baywatch November eighty nine, Brian
Speaker 9: Cranston played Captain Tom Logan and he was wearing like
Speaker 9: op shorts and like those croaky glasses and his hair
Speaker 9: was completely down the middle and feathered.
Speaker 2: I could looks good? Were you at that time?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I've been Robin and I have been married
Speaker 5: for thirty six years now.
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, okay eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're there on Baywatch.
Speaker 8: I mean, oh yeah, those they're out there.
Speaker 2: Did did anybody notice Captain Tom Logan of you know
Speaker 2: the women they did you catch anybody's eye there?
Speaker 8: You know, I don't know. I don't know whose eye
Speaker 8: I caught.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, were you born in Hollywood?
Speaker 5: I was born in the city of Hollywood, Yes, right
Speaker 5: in Hollywood and raised in Los Angeles in the San
Speaker 5: Fernando Valley.
Speaker 2: And famous classmates.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't have any famous classmates, uh in the area.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 5: Well, Kevin Spacey went to the same high school a
Speaker 5: couple of years after me, but then transferred out to
Speaker 5: go to a better theater school. But outside of that,
Speaker 5: they're really no, no, no famous, No.
Speaker 2: I'm famous tougher to get Nick's tickets courtside or Laker
Speaker 2: tickets court.
Speaker 8: Side Laker tickets, court side.
Speaker 2: Tougher, tougher.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's just process, it's just jam.
Speaker 5: Well, first, there is a way I can give advice
Speaker 5: to all the listeners and viewers about how to get
Speaker 5: court side seats first. Become a television star or a
Speaker 5: movie star. Do that first. Then you'll have a lot
Speaker 5: better chance of getting court side seats. But I did
Speaker 5: get court side seats last year to mix pacers had
Speaker 5: a great time, had a great time watching it, and
Speaker 5: they're back.
Speaker 8: At it again.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 2: But you know your sitcom famous with Malcolm in the
Speaker 2: Middle and then breaking back, like you know, I'm going
Speaker 2: to guess breaking bad you got it was easier to
Speaker 2: get the tickets than with Malcolm in the Middle.
Speaker 8: Yeah. It gave me a higher profile absolutely.
Speaker 5: Okay, so yeah, that's what I get mostly recognized for.
Speaker 5: I would say, i'd say like seven out of ten
Speaker 5: people who approached for you, Okay, there.
Speaker 2: I think I just broke something. My mic collapsed here.
Speaker 8: And that's how about seven out of ten people recognize
Speaker 8: me as Walter White.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I want to talk about the Phoenician scheme. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because Wes Anderson does things differently than anybody else. How
Speaker 2: would you describe what he does as a filmmaker.
Speaker 8: Well, he is the truest sense of the word auteur.
Speaker 5: There is no way that anyone can say, oh, I
Speaker 5: think I know what Wes is thinking on this. I
Speaker 5: think I know where he's going to go with this.
Speaker 5: You just don't know at all. It is a unique
Speaker 5: journey when you do a Wes Anderson movie, because it's
Speaker 5: always clever, it's always surprising, and it's just it's so
Speaker 5: much fun. But the thing about from an actor's point
Speaker 5: of you doing the Phoenician scheme or Asteroid City before that,
Speaker 5: or it's the experience of being with him and all
Speaker 5: the actors at the same table at the dinner every
Speaker 5: night after you work, and that kind of camaraderie was
Speaker 5: so much fun. In fact, Tom Hanks calls it actor camp.
Speaker 5: It's a good hang and we and all the actors
Speaker 5: are there. We're having wine and cocktails and food, and
Speaker 5: we're talking about things that were worried about or families
Speaker 5: and things like that.
Speaker 8: Without worrying about.
Speaker 5: Prying eyes or ears around us, and we can just
Speaker 5: be open and it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: So Tom Hanks, I believe plays your brother. You got
Speaker 2: Michael Sarah in there, Scarlett Johansson, Benicio del Toro, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: Pretty good, Benedtt and Cumberbatch, Rez Ahmed.
Speaker 5: I mean it's a big, big cast, uh, And Tom
Speaker 5: and I are playing brothers. Well, well we think we're brothers.
Speaker 5: It was never actually established, but there they're so so alike. Now,
Speaker 5: there's a basketball sequence in the movie that Tom and
Speaker 5: I are involved in.
Speaker 8: And when we.
Speaker 5: Got to the set where where asked, Okay, who can
Speaker 5: do this?
Speaker 8: And who could do that?
Speaker 5: And so Tom Tom's going, I can't really dribble very well,
Speaker 5: I'll go I'll dribble. And I said, look, I got
Speaker 5: problems with my shoulders. I got art right. And it's
Speaker 5: like if you went to the assisted living center, they
Speaker 5: get two basketball players.
Speaker 2: People sent me that clip of you got of you
Speaker 2: shooting basketball, wondering if you were trying to model You're
Speaker 2: shot after me for some reason, and I said, well,
Speaker 2: if he if he was trying, he didn't do a
Speaker 2: very good job.
Speaker 8: Because because I made it dripping.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't dripping with athleticism. I'm just going to say,
Speaker 2: you know, as a basketball player, you're a great actor.
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, No, I wasn't modeling myself after you. You're
Speaker 5: You're They broke the mold.
Speaker 8: Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2: The Phoenician scheme that comes out May thirtieth and then
Speaker 2: nationwide June second, and Everything's going to be Great that
Speaker 2: comes out June twentieth. Yeah, did you shoot these around
Speaker 2: the same time.
Speaker 5: No, Phoenician scheme we shot last year. Everything's going to
Speaker 5: be great, we shot before it. But it's it's like
Speaker 5: jockeying for position and who's going to and what's the
Speaker 5: right time to come out with a movie, and you
Speaker 5: know it's those decisions are made by someone else. But
Speaker 5: everything's going to be great is also a really it's
Speaker 5: a beautiful film with Alison Janning and myself and it
Speaker 5: reminded me of Little Miss Sunshine from years ago. It's
Speaker 5: funny and sweet and sad and engaging him.
Speaker 2: Anyway, little Miss Sunshine. That final dance scene, Yeah, fun
Speaker 2: stuff brings down the house, yes, Alan Ark, I mean
Speaker 2: there's so many great performances in there. Yeah, it's one
Speaker 2: of those little sneaky surprise movies where you're like, damn,
Speaker 2: I don't I don't. You know everybody when you watch
Speaker 2: movies like I don't know it's going to be nominated,
Speaker 2: everything's gonna be nominated. Instead of just watching movies, I
Speaker 2: think we're always like, well, what's going to do at
Speaker 2: the box office? Is anybody gonna go see this in
Speaker 2: the movie theaters. It's kind of like the pressure. I
Speaker 2: don't know how different it is now than let's say,
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen years ago.
Speaker 8: It's a lot different when you and I were kids.
Speaker 5: Every show, every morning show, every news show had a
Speaker 5: movie and television reviewer specifically to relate to the audience
Speaker 5: what they felt was good of high quality. They fired
Speaker 5: all of those people, and so now the newsreaders just
Speaker 5: read off what made the most money last weekend at
Speaker 5: the box office, as if that's the indication of quality.
Speaker 8: And so it's it's kind of sad.
Speaker 5: So you really need the word of mouth to be
Speaker 5: able to say, don't miss this movie or that movie.
Speaker 2: PAULI told me that there might be uh, we're bringing
Speaker 2: back Malcolm in the Middle, is there a.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we did it. We shot it already.
Speaker 2: You shot it.
Speaker 8: We did.
Speaker 5: We did four episodes for Disney and we just finished it.
Speaker 5: So that'll be out probably either later this year or
Speaker 5: early next year. And man, I got to tell you,
Speaker 5: it was so much fun.
Speaker 8: All the all the kids came back.
Speaker 5: And you know, it's funny because the boys for Malcolm
Speaker 5: in the Middle are all around the same age that
Speaker 5: I was when we first started the show twenty.
Speaker 8: Five years ago.
Speaker 5: Wow, they have kids of their own. It's so great
Speaker 5: to see and the and the adults that they've become.
Speaker 5: It's really fantastic.
Speaker 2: When you do the race walking scene, do you do
Speaker 2: you still have that outfit because I'd love to put
Speaker 2: it in a mandicate.
Speaker 8: Oh would you? It would have to be on it,
Speaker 8: It would have to be on a mannequin.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I'd get a mannequin.
Speaker 5: Well, let me see if I can get it for you,
Speaker 5: because i'd love to see it on your show.
Speaker 2: Well, why don't you drop everything that you're doing and
Speaker 2: like do something for me, like right now?
Speaker 8: Like that was that was implied. Of course I'm gonna
Speaker 8: drop everything. Yes, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 2: I don't like nothing else. No, don't read any scripts
Speaker 2: or anything. It's like, nope, I can't. I'm an outfit
Speaker 2: from Malcolm in the Middle to Dan Patrick.
Speaker 8: I'm wondering if they still have it.
Speaker 5: I don't know. But man, that was a funny, funny thing,
Speaker 5: and I was, you know, I was real trim then
Speaker 5: I was like one seventy two or three something.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not gonna wear it, and I'm gonna put
Speaker 2: it on the mannequin.
Speaker 8: But I think you should wear it. I think you
Speaker 8: should put it off.
Speaker 2: Will Ferrell brought the testicles from step Brothers that he rubbed.
Speaker 2: He brought him to Ireland and we were doing our
Speaker 2: show over there, and he brought the testicles that he
Speaker 2: rubbed on William c Riley's drum set. Yeah, yeah, okay,
