Speaker 1: Let's start off with Wicked because it's on our minds.
Speaker 1: Donalds and I both loved it very much.
Speaker 2: Joel, did you very much?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 4: Zach text me and he was like, so, when are
Speaker 4: you seeing Wicked? And I said, have tickets for the
Speaker 4: singalong on Christmas? And he said that's too far away.
Speaker 4: And so then I called my dad and I was like,
Speaker 4: how did you like Gladiator? He's like, I took your
Speaker 4: mom to see Wicked instead, and I was like, how.
Speaker 3: Did you like it? He's like, Joelle, I loved it.
Speaker 4: And my dad doesn't get he's a really medium guy,
Speaker 4: so he says, loved it. I was like, let me
Speaker 4: strap it. So I bought some tickets, said.
Speaker 3: Whoa, it was so good.
Speaker 2: It's literally the Citizen Kane of musical adaptations. It is
Speaker 2: the Citizen.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna agree with you.
Speaker 2: I think the closest. I mean, there's, of course, there's
Speaker 2: several movies that have come before that are are really
Speaker 2: sound of music. Greece, Chicauiz, The Wizard of Oz, Chicago.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not sold on that one as much
Speaker 2: as I'm sold on we don't need to but let's
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something right now. Wicked is you
Speaker 2: know La La Lands was still my favorite musical.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's not an adaptations, not an adaptation.
Speaker 2: As far as adaptation goes, this is damn near perfect.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find flaws.
Speaker 1: I had a couple of notes. I had a couple notes.
Speaker 1: I'm not love to hear them. Well. Before I get
Speaker 1: to my couple notes, I will also say I loved it.
Speaker 1: I thought John Chu did a fantastic job. Myron Kirstine,
Speaker 1: who edited the movie, has cut three of my four movies,
Speaker 1: so I'm very proud and happy for him. I thought
Speaker 1: it was brilliantly edited. Everything, every department, every crafts person
Speaker 1: who worked on those sets, enormous sets, and the choreography
Speaker 1: and the costumes, and I mean it was just epic.
Speaker 1: I was saying to my nephew, who loves Marvel movies,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't get to see money spent like
Speaker 1: this for my interests, and this, I felt like, was
Speaker 1: like getting to see two hundred million dollars or whatever
Speaker 1: it was spent on something that I would enjoy, And
Speaker 1: it was so fun to watch all of that unfold.
Speaker 2: But it's of the level of Marvel movies though. That's
Speaker 2: the thing that's so great about it. It's like, if
Speaker 2: you are a Marvel fan, or if you are a
Speaker 2: fan of fantasy and wizards and dragons or whatever it is,
Speaker 2: this movie also is for you, believe it or not.
Speaker 2: This is one of those things where it's just undeniable.
Speaker 2: I love the story that John Chuo talks about, tells
Speaker 2: where George Lucas called him up right after leaving the
Speaker 2: movie theater and he's like, listen, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you know this. I'm a filmmaker myself. And John's like, okay.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see this video. That's funny, said that
Speaker 1: to me, and.
Speaker 2: He's like, you get it. You did it right. You understood,
Speaker 2: you understood the assignment, and you went out there and
Speaker 2: you executed it. I'm really excited to see part two spoiler.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. Out of wait a year, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: But this is the longest instrument intermission ever.
Speaker 1: And it's done by the way it's done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's locked already.
Speaker 1: Well I don't know that to be a fact, but
Speaker 1: bring I don't. I don't know that to be a fact,
Speaker 1: but I don't. I don't think and I could be
Speaker 1: wrong that they were always planning on breaking into two movies.
Speaker 1: I could be totally wrong, but that made me think
Speaker 1: that I suppose when they decided to make it two movies,
Speaker 1: they were like, all right, put that to the side,
Speaker 1: let's risk work on this. We have a year, and
Speaker 1: then obviously let's not buried lead. I thought that both
Speaker 1: the well, all the whole cast, but the two ladies
Speaker 1: were just absolutely perfect.
Speaker 2: Arrivo and Grande. Yeah, yes, Citia Arrivo and Ariana Grande.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna say I think Ariana Grande deserves
Speaker 2: an Oscar. That's just me personally.
Speaker 1: She's definitely nominated.
Speaker 2: I think she stole the movie. I think I think
Speaker 2: it was meant for her to steal the first act.
Speaker 1: Oh, Joel, they look at you. Well's reaction to that,
Speaker 1: Joelle did a head twist.
Speaker 2: I think the second act is all a revo if
Speaker 2: I remember correctly. But Arianna's first. You know, they don't
Speaker 2: unleash Cynthia until the dance, and that's pretty much the
Speaker 2: end of the movie.
Speaker 4: At that are you see the Wizard of the Wizard
Speaker 4: and I and my whole audience broke out into it
Speaker 4: was our first applause break of four. I think the
Speaker 4: Wizard and I, which is Cynthia's first song where she goes,
Speaker 4: oh my god, Bret taking on the plane and giving
Speaker 4: you all of the sound of music, kind of feels sure.
Speaker 2: But it's early on in the movie, and at that
Speaker 2: point you're looking for you're looking for I'm just saying it,
Speaker 2: in the earlier parts of the movie, you're looking for
Speaker 2: the comedy, the pace, and all of that stuff to
Speaker 2: be introduced. By the time they get to the ballroom
Speaker 2: and she walks in with the hat, that's when it
Speaker 2: becomes a remote from that.
Speaker 1: I think you just, well, who knows, but I think
Speaker 1: you're reacting to the fact that Arianna has almost every
Speaker 1: li in the movie except for Bowen Yang, who was
Speaker 1: very funny. So funny, yeah, so, but you know Ariana's
Speaker 1: comic timing. Of course, her choice I mean crush her
Speaker 1: voice is ridiculous, but also her comic timing was incredible.
Speaker 1: I mean, in the popular number, all the little little
Speaker 1: things she's doing.
Speaker 4: When she's switching around on the floor, I was dying, dying,
Speaker 4: And to Donald's point about being marvel, I was just
Speaker 4: gonna say, really quick, like the flight sequence, breathtaking. And
Speaker 4: we've seen a lot of flight in a lot of films,
Speaker 4: and I thought to be able to bring a level
Speaker 4: of originality and still like an ad inspiring element this
Speaker 4: late in the flight on film game is really impressive.
Speaker 1: I agree. First of all, the sets were clearly practical.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so the sets just looked so. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't the amount of money they spent on those sets,
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine. And then so then the CGI
Speaker 1: stuff didn't look bad at all. It all looked great.
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, do you know they like that tulip
Speaker 1: field is real?
Speaker 3: They played like millions of bulbs.
Speaker 1: Sorry, Poppies, the poppies, Poppies amazing, John Chu, I mean
Speaker 1: it's all him, man. I mean it's obviously everyone, all
Speaker 1: those thousands of people that worked on the movie, but
Speaker 1: I mean he led quite a team to that scale
Speaker 1: of that movie is enormous.
Speaker 2: That not only the scale, the pressure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to deliver, Yeah, for all of.
Speaker 2: These people, for Arianna, for Cynthia. The pressure to deliver
Speaker 2: was definitely on them and they did it. And they
Speaker 2: it's like they it was like they were able to.
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but you know, you you see
Speaker 2: the interviews and they're crying, and you're like, I understand.
Speaker 1: Speaking with Joelle. Can you playing to me what this
Speaker 1: holding space thing is because I need you, my favorite
Speaker 1: queer person, to break it down, because I don't know
Speaker 1: what is happening is what is happening in that interview, So.
Speaker 4: One I would just say that the original interview. I
Speaker 4: think it's a misappropriation of the words, don't.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 4: To hold space for something is not to consider the
Speaker 4: lyrics or find inspiration with. It's really usually sitting oftentimes
Speaker 4: with something uncomfortable and making room and space for when
Speaker 4: they're Usually as a society, we would not, So I
Speaker 4: don't think it's an accurate use of the term. However,
Speaker 4: I do think a lot of queer people love Alphaba
Speaker 4: and identify with her. We saw Arianna and Cynthia on
Speaker 4: a press tour, so you know, Alpha was probably a
Speaker 4: little gay, just probably a little queer maybe, And so
Speaker 4: I think what they were talking about was like in
Speaker 4: this defying gravity, which if you don't know, the musical
Speaker 4: sort of Alphaba, the which are the west like power anthem,
Speaker 4: and it's this moment when she turns her back, I
Speaker 4: want society expects her to do and really embraces herself,
Speaker 4: and a lot of queer people can identify with that,
Speaker 4: and I think that's what she was trying to suggest.
Speaker 1: Right, So what she was trying to say was like
Speaker 1: a lot of queer people identify with the lyrics of
Speaker 1: defying gravity. It was a funny meme, though I.
Speaker 2: Didn't understand it.
Speaker 4: I've been using alling space inappropriately all over the place.
Speaker 2: I can I just say one last thing about this
Speaker 2: and then we can move on.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that they made defying Gravity not
Speaker 2: this vindictive like in the play. At the when it
Speaker 2: gets to the act break, she's wicked because she's so
Speaker 2: pissed off at everything. Oh fuck everybody, I'm gonna fucking
Speaker 2: get out of here, and fucking you don't like me.
Speaker 2: I don't like you either. I'm wicked. And in this
Speaker 2: they made it seem like there was hope at the end.
Speaker 2: This woman's gonna save Oz. She's gonna be the one
Speaker 2: that freaking brings everything back to the way it needs
Speaker 2: to be. And I really want to commend the director
Speaker 2: in doing that because it's so easy to go to
Speaker 2: way of she's going dark, She's going dark side she
Speaker 2: just went to the dark side. She doesn't go to
Speaker 2: the dark side in this and this she becomes. She
Speaker 2: does become the martyr, she does become the hero, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 5: And so I was, I was, I was that blew
Speaker 5: me away by the ending.
Speaker 1: Was I'm getting goosebumps talk thinking about it. But I
Speaker 1: cried multiple times and I was with Amanda and Elvis,
Speaker 1: so I was I was in a safe space to
Speaker 1: cry in the movies. I love crying in the movies anyway,
Speaker 1: but without without spoilers obviously, that dance moment at the
Speaker 1: at the you know, when they danced together, I just
Speaker 1: thought that was so incredibly moving about just finally someone
Speaker 1: having the courage to be by your side. That was
Speaker 1: just And then at the end, I just sobbed. I
Speaker 1: was like, not only was I crying for the movie,
Speaker 1: but I was thinking about my father who's no longer
Speaker 1: alive and he loved musicals, and I just thought I
Speaker 1: was crying. They were happy tears because but I was
Speaker 1: thinking like, oh gosh, my father would have loved this
Speaker 1: so much. And Amanda knew my dad, so it was
Speaker 1: nice to just had that moment of like, Wow, this
Speaker 1: art moved me so much, and I'm so happy for
Speaker 1: all of these people. And also, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I've told this story, but you know, we had a
Speaker 1: little memorial in my vegetable garden on my property for
Speaker 1: Nick when he died. And Nick loved Cynthia Revo. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they ever met, or if maybe they
Speaker 1: were DM friends from Broadway or what have you. I
Speaker 1: don't know that they had much relationship, but he loved her.
Speaker 1: And when Nick was sick, Cynthia Eva reached out to
Speaker 1: Amanda and said, like, I'm here for you if you
Speaker 1: ever need anything. And when Nick was in a coma,
Speaker 1: Amanda would would call, would text Cynthia, and she would say,
Speaker 1: he's not in a great space. If you have a moment,
Speaker 1: would you sing for him? And Cynthia, without fail, would
Speaker 1: say absolutely, and she'd Facetimer and she would sing multiple songs,
Speaker 1: including Amazing Grace to Nick while he was in a coma.
Speaker 3: Oh that's beautiful.
Speaker 1: And I just heard this recently from Amanda. And then
Speaker 1: when Nick passed, Amanda reached out to her and said, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, one of Nick's favorite moments in all of
Speaker 1: Broadway was your big number in a color Purple on Broadway?
Speaker 1: Would you consider coming singing it? And I don't know
Speaker 1: if Cynthia thought like this was a big memorial like
Speaker 1: in a church or something, but she said absolutely, And
Speaker 1: there was like fifteen of us in my garden and
Speaker 1: she came and sang Nick's favorite song.
Speaker 3: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: So that's a Cynthia rev story.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: It's the kind of person she is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I met her one time. Also, we did Anthony
Speaker 2: Anderson's show to Tell the Truth, and we had a
Speaker 2: little bit of downtime to just sit and shoot the shit,
Speaker 2: and I just remember her turn to me, Donald, what
Speaker 2: are your dreams dreams? And I was like what. She's like,
Speaker 2: what are your dreams? Tell me what is it that
Speaker 2: you dream of. I was like, well, I want to
Speaker 2: be in Star Wars. I want to know. I just
Speaker 2: unleashed and I was like, what about you? What are
Speaker 2: your dreams? She said, you know, they're starting to come true.
Speaker 2: They started to happen.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so happy for everybody involved. And the National
Speaker 1: Water Review chose it as their best picture already, so
Speaker 1: it'll definitely be in the competition.
Speaker 2: It deserves it. It's it's if you are a fan
Speaker 2: of action adventure, if you love romance, if you love SI,
Speaker 2: if you love fantasy, if you look right, if you're
Speaker 2: a fan of cinema period.
Speaker 1: I want to go see it again. Actually I've seen.
Speaker 2: It twice already. That's the crazy thing. It's not me.
Speaker 2: It was my kids. We saw it the first time
Speaker 2: when we got back from Vegas. We saw it, and
Speaker 2: then the second time, it was two days later. My
Speaker 2: son goes, you know what, let's go see Wicked again.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what, I'm surprised it was your
Speaker 1: son and not your daughter.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, Rock likes certain things, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, his whole thing is and it's gonna sound
Speaker 2: horrible and I'm not raising him to be this way.
Speaker 2: But he said to me, dang Arianna got a gat.
Speaker 1: What I certainly didn't. I didn't notice are having a yah?
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? When she's swinging on that thing,
Speaker 2: That yat is nice and walking around in them dresses,
Speaker 2: that yat is nice. That's what That's what my son was.
Speaker 1: Your son wanted to go see the gyat.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think he's I think things are
Speaker 2: starting to change on him. He's starting to have starting
Speaker 2: he's starting to have a little odor under the arms
Speaker 2: and stuff.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, well, speaking of that, since we're on
Speaker 1: movies and deodorant. I finally am late to the party,
Speaker 1: but I watched Inside Out too.
Speaker 4: Okay, Oh gosh, that was beautiful too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which did you like better? One or two?
Speaker 1: I think I don't. I think I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think too. But I thought it was so moving and
Speaker 1: I was just so blown away by the screenplay. I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there going, whoever wrote this is so fucking genius, Like,
Speaker 1: what a screenplay.
Speaker 4: My favorite thing about that movie is they brought in
Speaker 4: teenage girls to tell them if they were getting the
Speaker 4: script right. Like multiple times they would come in the
Speaker 4: girls like we wouldn't talk this way or we would
Speaker 4: never leave a friend in that way. And I was like,
Speaker 4: you can really feel the presence of young minded people
Speaker 4: throughout the script. And yeah, it's surprising all the ways
Speaker 4: you sort of think they're going to lean into bullying,
Speaker 4: they don't, and it's really this kid against her poor self.
Speaker 4: And oh yeah, it's a beautiful story. I like it
Speaker 4: a lot.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought like screenplay was excellent. I mean,
Speaker 1: I was so.
Speaker 2: Smart I really did like that movie. Also, a Nora.
Speaker 1: Have we talked about a Nora?
Speaker 2: No, but everybody that girl all the rave.
Speaker 1: Joel, have you seen a Nora.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen a Noura yet. It's on the list,
Speaker 4: so well, I know I gotta get that.
Speaker 1: Oh don't you get screeners.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 4: I guess some screeners not all they you know, the Disney's,
Speaker 4: the Marvels, the sci fi is really hit me up.
Speaker 3: I got a fight for the smaller indies.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I highly recommend Nora to everybody. It's uh,
Speaker 1: it's I think one of the best movies I've seen
Speaker 1: this year. And what's so exciting about it is it's
Speaker 1: nobody in the cast is famous. It's just it's just
Speaker 1: an incredible screenplay with incredible actors, really well done. That
Speaker 1: young lady could win an Oscar.
Speaker 2: I mean that's what they're saying. They're saying, she's what's.
Speaker 1: Her name is, Ajeel Mikey Madsen, Mia Madsen. She was
Speaker 1: on Better Things, the TV show as a teenage girl.
Speaker 1: Now she's in this movie and I thought I assumed
Speaker 1: from her performance that she was like an East Coast
Speaker 1: like really talk like this character that she plays, and
Speaker 1: then I saw an interview with her and she's nothing
Speaker 1: like that, and so it just means that, like it
Speaker 1: was like double whammy of how talented she is. She gives,
Speaker 1: she gives, she gives one of the best performances of
Speaker 1: the year for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm I you know, I haven't seen it, but I
Speaker 2: will see it. There's you know, I all, there's actually
Speaker 2: Star Wars actually has a good show.
Speaker 1: Again, Guys, why can't we just avoid Star Wars.
Speaker 2: Because it's called Skeleton Crew Skeleton It's called Skeleton Crew,
Speaker 2: and it's fucking really good. Dude, the first two episodes,
Speaker 2: the first two episodes. And I'm not saying this because
Speaker 2: I'm a Star Wars fan either. I'm saying this because
Speaker 2: this ship is actually really good. Like this reminds me
Speaker 2: of my youth, the movies I watched as a kid, Goonies,
Speaker 2: Flight of the Navigator, Explorers, Like this movie hits all
Speaker 2: a poltergeist, everything that Stranger Things tries to do. This
Speaker 2: one does it in a Star Wars universe, which is
Speaker 2: kind of unheard of. Like people want their Star Wars
Speaker 2: a certain way, but this, dude found I'm begetting the
Speaker 2: creator of the shows. And I know it's Boloney and Favro,
Speaker 2: but the guy who is the showrunner for the show,
Speaker 2: what an amazing he did Spider Man, he did John
Speaker 2: something right.
Speaker 3: John Watson, Christopher Ford.
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing, well done, like way to bring it. And
Speaker 2: what's great is that Star Wars fans are now happy and.
Speaker 3: This is looking united out there.
Speaker 2: Hasn't the last time that this has happened? Is I
Speaker 2: don't even think Return of the Jedi had, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? There are people that are like fucking walks,
Speaker 2: are you kidding me? And a lot of Star Wars to.
Speaker 3: Watch Star Wars show.
Speaker 4: It was saved because it was critically acclaimed, and Disney
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, we love a statue, like do another season.
Speaker 1: Oh but I love this, I guess because I'm not
Speaker 1: in the core audience. I love dan Or. I thought
Speaker 1: it was the.
Speaker 3: Best, as you should it is.
Speaker 4: To me, it's the best one, but it's not universally beloved.
Speaker 4: I will say about Skeleton Crew. I've seen the first
Speaker 4: three episodes. They're fabulous. I'm excited for episode four because
Speaker 4: the Daniels are directing it, which should be really interesting.
Speaker 4: And then Bryce Dallas has the Christmas episode, which I
Speaker 4: bet will be spectacular.
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's really funy.
Speaker 4: Usually I'm not into the whole kids show, but I
Speaker 4: really feel like there's an element of this that makes
Speaker 4: me feel like I'm ten years old. It makes me
Speaker 4: want to share it with my cousins, Like it's very
Speaker 4: easy to fall in love with these kids, and they
Speaker 4: feel like they're in real danger, which doesn't usually happen
Speaker 4: in a Disney property. But I'm like, these kids should
Speaker 4: not be on the ship or on the planet they're
Speaker 4: going to how do they get home? It's so scary
Speaker 4: and oh and the best part is they built in
Speaker 4: a real mystery where you're like, what the hell is
Speaker 4: happening here?
Speaker 3: Like where do they come from? What is this planet there?
Speaker 4: And usually the last couple of mysteries we've been set
Speaker 4: up on in Star Wars have been flopped, so it's
Speaker 4: nice to see them really nail that.
Speaker 2: I went into it thinking I wasn't expecting a lot,
Speaker 2: and by the end of the first episode, I was like, next, please,
Speaker 2: next episode now. And I watched the second episode and
Speaker 2: as soon as that shit ended, I was like, damn,
Speaker 2: I can't wait till Monday.
Speaker 3: Is Rocco liking it.
Speaker 2: He hasn't watched it yet. I have to I have
Speaker 2: to say they haven't watched it yet. I can't. I
Speaker 2: can't wait to show them though.

Speaker 2: Let's go to be giving up weed. Let's go to
Speaker 2: me giving up weed.
Speaker 1: All right, So audience, you might think, oh God, roll
Speaker 1: your eyes. Donald's talking about giving up weed, but when
Speaker 1: we went to Vegas, he decided to use that as
Speaker 1: a launching point.
Speaker 2: Right, quit cold turkey, Yes, which is.
Speaker 1: Very hard for those of you who don't know for
Speaker 1: someone who smokes every day all day, tell everyone how
Speaker 1: it went or how it's going, because you're now.
Speaker 2: It's it's yeah, it's miserable.
Speaker 1: But oh I thought you were doing better.
Speaker 2: No, I am doing better now. But the it's you
Speaker 2: know now, the the craving is back, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean? Like I was having a conversation with my
Speaker 2: brother on FaceTime and he's sitting there blowing weed into
Speaker 2: the camera and shit like that, and it was like
Speaker 2: he wasn't doing it on purpose. He doesn't know that
Speaker 2: I've quit, you know what I mean. And he's blowing
Speaker 2: it into the camera and as he's doing it, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to catch the vapors on the side. The motherfucker. Yeah,
Speaker 2: through through, right through FaceTime. It's very difficult. And I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna sit here and bullshit anybody and say And
Speaker 2: I don't want to be the guy that says you
Speaker 2: need to quit too. I don't want to be a preacher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about your experience.
Speaker 2: I had night sweats for about a week and a half.
Speaker 2: Every time I tried to fall asleep. I lost twenty
Speaker 2: pounds and almost two weeks, like because I couldn't eat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for real, I saw him at dinner. We went
Speaker 1: to dinner and his face you probably can't see it
Speaker 1: because it's all pixelate right now, but he lost so
Speaker 1: much weight in just his face.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's waterweight obviously from the sweating and the
Speaker 2: not eating and stuff.
Speaker 1: I should get into sonning, dude, get rid of all
Speaker 1: more of it.
Speaker 2: I'm into losing weight the healthy way right now. But
Speaker 2: as far as as far as quitting goes, it's been
Speaker 2: very difficult, but I ain't going back. Man.
Speaker 1: This has he been irritable to your wife? Absolutely, Casey
Speaker 1: said at dinner, she goes, next time you do this,
Speaker 1: you need to go away for a while.
Speaker 2: Well, the prospector has spoken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sick and tired of your irre ability, irritability.
Speaker 2: But you know it's it's The crazy thing is is
Speaker 2: that you know, the phlim is just starting to clear
Speaker 2: up in my lungs and stuff like that, and I'm
Speaker 2: not and I don't feel like I have bronchitis anymore.
Speaker 2: And I was smoking a lot of weed and this
Speaker 2: is this was definitely a good idea for me. I'm
Speaker 2: not saying everybody else needs to do it right, but
Speaker 2: I'm not going to smoke weed again.
Speaker 1: I think, well, by the way, what's funny is last
Speaker 1: night he's like, we should get dinner again on Monday.
Speaker 1: And I'm all I'm thinking is like, the dude is
Speaker 1: off weed for two weeks and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: he's making plans.
Speaker 2: I was, I don't want to stay home anymore.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like swiping tears from my eyes.
Speaker 2: I don't want to stay home anymore. This house reminds
Speaker 2: me of marijuana.
Speaker 1: No. I mean, you definitely lived up to one of
Speaker 1: the sweeping stereotypes of a full time stoner is not
Speaker 1: wanting to leave the house. And I know that's not
Speaker 1: true for all of you out there who do that,
Speaker 1: but this particular stoner, Donald Faison, was was a homebody,
Speaker 1: and I like the idea that you might leave your
Speaker 1: house more.
Speaker 2: Well. I go to the gym now almost every day.
Speaker 1: My trainer was asking about you, by the way, why
Speaker 1: he just likes you, And he was like, how's Donald doing?
Speaker 1: How's how's the weed? Is he? Is he working out
Speaker 1: at all? And I was like, he actually just quit?
Speaker 1: And I was and he was like, oh, good, good?
Speaker 1: Is he what's he doing? Is he boxing? Is he
Speaker 1: working out? And I didn't know what the answer was.
Speaker 2: I am working out, I am boxing, I am I'm
Speaker 2: back into the MMA again, you know what I mean? Good?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got you like that form of exercise I do.
Speaker 2: I like lifting weights too, but I like striking a lot.
Speaker 2: I like kicking, I like wrestling.
Speaker 1: You should get fit, bro, you should get fucking fit. Fit.
Speaker 2: Well, we have a reason to nowadays too, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, we have a super duper it
Speaker 2: looks like we're gonna have another shot at this thing
Speaker 2: called Scrubs.
Speaker 1: You know, Oh, do you want to go into Scrubs reboot?
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's a good set.
Speaker 1: Is that's your segue into Scrubs reboot from from what
Speaker 1: I've written down as giving up Weed?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a good segue. I gave up
Speaker 2: Weed to do Scrubs.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a funny time to talk about this audience,
Speaker 1: because I'm not sure when this airs will decide, but uh,
Speaker 1: today it broke on both Deadline and Variety that uh there.
Speaker 2: In uh, Bill's deal is done.
Speaker 1: Bill has Bill has closed the deal to do a
Speaker 1: Scrubs reboot.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, did you know that?
Speaker 1: Joelle? That's amazing, Joell Dane. I'm not here to tell
Speaker 1: you to talk into your microphone.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited for you guys.
Speaker 1: You know we uh this has been in the works
Speaker 1: for a long time, and obviously this doesn't mean it's
Speaker 1: one hundred percent, it's just it's in development. But uh,
Speaker 1: it's this is the first time they've made any sort
Speaker 1: of announcement about it, so that's sort of exciting. The
Speaker 1: idea that we could do some new incarnation of the
Speaker 1: show that we're all you know here for.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to see what it is because literally
Speaker 2: we don't we Zach, myself and the rest of the
Speaker 2: cast have zero idea what Bill has planned.
Speaker 1: I don't think Bill knows what he has planned.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, no, I mean I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think he does. I think it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: let's figure out I do. I think we can say
Speaker 1: that it's not it's not going to be like they're
Speaker 1: doing with the Office, like a whole new cast. The
Speaker 1: idea is to get us all about together and uh
Speaker 1: and and figure out what that story is, which is
Speaker 1: which is really exciting. But I don't think it's been
Speaker 1: cracked yet. What the what, what the angle is.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to find out what it is. I'm excited
Speaker 2: to find out what our characters are up to and
Speaker 2: what they will be and or what what version of
Speaker 2: the characters will be playing this time around. There's a
Speaker 2: lot that's changed since Scrubs was on television twenty something
Speaker 2: years ago.
Speaker 1: We can't be as goofy.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know, because now we're in now we're in our late forties.
Speaker 1: We can't be like young twenty.
Speaker 2: I'm fifty.
Speaker 1: I'm fifty years old.
Speaker 2: I can kick, I can straight, But like, I, what
Speaker 2: is it? What what you know? Like Ted Lasso shrinking
Speaker 2: bad Monk, bad monkey, these guys all have a different
Speaker 2: you know, Bill Lawrence stamp to it or you know,
Speaker 2: and his new stamp is really interesting and it's it's
Speaker 2: it's it's adult, but yet it still has very comedic
Speaker 2: and heart and felt undertone.
Speaker 1: So it's, yeah, well I think it'll still be Scrubs,
Speaker 1: but it'll be you know, with the things that everyone
Speaker 1: loves about Scrubs. But we're certainly so much older now,
Speaker 1: so it's like, what, how are our lives different? And
Speaker 1: how are we different? You know? I think about ourselves
Speaker 1: in real life, you and I and we there's so
Speaker 1: many ways where we're as silly as we were when
Speaker 1: we were when we were you know, in twenty in
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty four years ago, and there's other
Speaker 1: ways we're a lot more mature. And I think the
Speaker 1: characters would, I imagine, would reflect that too.
Speaker 2: I hope. So, like I want to go to Vegas
Speaker 2: again with Bill so he can just study. Yes, let's
Speaker 2: go to Vegas.
Speaker 1: Wow, you just really showing off your transitions today, and
Speaker 1: is your is this your hot fucking segue? I am
Speaker 1: holding space for this segue.
Speaker 2: Let's take a break. You know, my brain is a
Speaker 2: little bit clearer.
Speaker 1: I can see you, be honest, I can see that, Joelle.
Speaker 1: Do you notice this motherfucker is two weeks off weed
Speaker 1: and now he's fucking like elegantly threading transitions.
Speaker 4: I don't want to support someone's softing lead because how
Speaker 4: but also I'm just so proud of that.
Speaker 1: I've never seen you do that before.
Speaker 2: Donald, that was elegant, but I think we need to
Speaker 2: do that again to be I'm just gonna be honest
Speaker 2: with you. The last two times you and I have
Speaker 2: been in Vegas have been pretty epic, amazing, more epic
Speaker 2: than it's ever been other than wearing him Tiger is
Speaker 2: at O it did, and wear them Tiger is at
Speaker 2: This is.
Speaker 1: Wear them Tigers at. You have to give people context.
Speaker 1: That's when we were very young. We went and Donald
Speaker 1: was wasted and he's walking through the MGM greens when
Speaker 1: they still had the Tigers show, and he's like that,
Speaker 1: I want to see somebody get bit.
Speaker 2: And then it happened and then it happened.
Speaker 4: I'm glad to explained it because I thought he was
Speaker 4: referencing the Hangover, and I was no.
Speaker 1: Donald Donald picture Donald strutting like like George Jefferson through
Speaker 1: the MGM, being like, Wandham Tiger? Is that I want
Speaker 1: to somebody to get.
Speaker 2: A bit.
Speaker 1: Donald?
Speaker 2: But then it happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then that's how long ago it was. The tigers
Speaker 1: aren't I don't know if that are the tigers still there?
Speaker 1: I know there's no show. No, there's no show. Obviously
Speaker 1: there's no show, but I don't know if they still
Speaker 1: have like an exhibit. Can you look that off? I'm curious.
Speaker 2: It was because of it was because of Tracy Morgan's Brian.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what it was you were doing, Brian Fellows.
Speaker 2: Wadham Tiger?
Speaker 1: Is that wha tigers?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 2: For all that money, somebody better get bit That's.
Speaker 1: What he said, You go, you go. All I know
Speaker 1: is for all to have money, somebody better get bit bit.
Speaker 2: I'm Brian Fellows.
Speaker 1: Brian Fellows. I love Brian Fellows. I don't know why
Speaker 1: it was so funny, but it.
Speaker 2: Was because he would be mad.
Speaker 1: It made no sense.
Speaker 2: He would get sassy with the he got sassy with
Speaker 2: a parrot. The parrot would I'm Brian Fellows. No you not.
Speaker 1: I just can I just I could just watch Tracy
Speaker 1: Morgan do anything. And I start to giggle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a very funny man.
Speaker 1: Joelle, are there tigers still? Mgm?
Speaker 4: No, So there used to be lions in the habitats,
Speaker 4: but Peter was like, no, yeah, and so now that
Speaker 4: the habitats are still there, but the lions.
Speaker 3: Are no longer.
Speaker 1: What's in the habitat?
Speaker 3: Habitat itself? Just lions used to be here, I guess.
Speaker 1: Oh so people walk by and go, look an empty
Speaker 1: habitat pretty much. Well, Donald and I we have to
Speaker 1: give a shout out to T Mobile because they brought
Speaker 1: us out to the F one Race for the second
Speaker 1: year in a row, and it was so much fun.
Speaker 2: It was epic. It was Listen, the first time we went,
Speaker 2: we had fun. We were we weren't we We hadn't
Speaker 2: yet experienced success in Vegas yet, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like, what do you mean?
Speaker 2: Like, we've gone to Vegas before several times and have
Speaker 2: yet to win money.
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yet to yet to you know, Like, but
Speaker 2: we only.
Speaker 1: Really won money. The Bill Lawrence time when he was
Speaker 1: rolling for a half hour on craps.
Speaker 2: Yes, but every time before that we had not experienced it.
Speaker 1: We only paid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vegas was kind of depressing to us because every
Speaker 2: time we went, the only time we would see money
Speaker 2: was when atm spit it out for us, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 1: We just got crushed at blackcheck always. And then we
Speaker 1: started to discover craps this last couple of times thanks
Speaker 1: to Andrew. Yeah, Andrew Watt and then Bill rolling for
Speaker 1: a half hour really got me educated into the ins
Speaker 1: and outs of crap.
Speaker 2: Yes, and so we went back the time because Mobile
Speaker 2: was like, you guys want to come come up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we came. It was so fun.
Speaker 2: It was not only was it fun, it was really cool,
Speaker 2: like Snoop was there. Yeah, we got to. We got to.
Speaker 2: You know, this is the first time where we're going
Speaker 2: there as Vets of the T Mobile family, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, where you know, we're a staple in
Speaker 2: that in the in their family. And it was really cool.
Speaker 3: And this is for the F one race that happens
Speaker 3: in Vegas every year.
Speaker 1: Yes, T Mobiles. T Mobile is the sponsor of the
Speaker 1: F one Race in Vegas. And for those of you
Speaker 1: who don't know, they they shut down the streets of
Speaker 1: Vegas and the F one race is through the streets
Speaker 1: of Vegas at night. It's the same if you can
Speaker 1: imagine the amount of logistics involved, and they do such
Speaker 1: a cool job. And then they have these suites over
Speaker 1: you know where where you know where all the pit
Speaker 1: stops are for the cars, and uh so we're hanging
Speaker 1: out the suite with all these amazing people, all the
Speaker 1: T Mobile execs.
Speaker 2: Well all of the execs that we that we know. Uh.
Speaker 2: And then also just like the people that were coming
Speaker 2: in from Snoop to mister Beast, to Ryan Bradley Cooper,
Speaker 2: Ryan Tedder, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well tell him the story about what met mister Beast
Speaker 1: did for your kids. That was so sweet.
Speaker 2: He was like, yo, I was like, because I'm very
Speaker 2: new to mister Beast, like within the last two months,
Speaker 2: I just, you know, uh learned about him, and my
Speaker 2: kids have known about him for a while. I remember
Speaker 2: my son was like, my son was like, well, mister
Speaker 2: Bee says, I said, boy, I don't give a shit
Speaker 2: about mister Beest. And my son looked at me and
Speaker 2: he said, well you should, because he's so much richer
Speaker 2: than you are. Dad. I was like, they are, they
Speaker 2: don't no censor. But then I meet him and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to give him props because I'm like
Speaker 2: that with everybody. If you ask Zach, when I meet celebrities,
Speaker 2: I get a little you know. He has to calm
Speaker 2: me down sometimes, like, dude, don't get too fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: You're going to meet such and such. Just don't don't.
Speaker 2: Don't don't ask for a self.
Speaker 1: Don't take ask for a selfie with Brad Pitt please.
Speaker 2: I walk into the thing and I see Beast and
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, oh shit, dude, you have no idea.
Speaker 2: My kids freaking love you. I'm a new fan of yours,
Speaker 2: but they've been a fan of yours for a long time.
Speaker 2: He's like, oh really, let's call him. I'm like what.
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, let's FaceTime them. Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: No, first, you made a video first.
Speaker 2: So then he goes, no, he tries to call, they
Speaker 2: don't pick up. So he's like, let's make a video. Boom.
Speaker 2: He makes the video. Then he says, then I take
Speaker 2: the phone away and I go and I send the
Speaker 2: video to my wife and then now I FaceTime my
Speaker 2: wife and she picks up. She's like, are you fucking
Speaker 2: kidding me with this? And I'm like hold on, and
Speaker 2: I go back and I turn and I'm like, can
Speaker 2: you talk to my kids again? He's like yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: He grabs the phone. Wilder is like, oh, hello, mister beast.
Speaker 2: How's it going? All cool and shit, you know, trying
Speaker 2: to be she's more like her mom. Her mom's been
Speaker 2: around a lot filds together, they show it to Rocco.
Speaker 2: Rocco goes and he said, he's like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: and he can't move and he's like frozen in time. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's mister right. And he said to all of his
Speaker 2: friends on the snapchat not they have a group chat,
Speaker 2: and he was like, guys, I gotta go. Mister Beast
Speaker 2: is uh calling my house right now. And they're like, bullshit, Rocco,
Speaker 2: you don't know, mister Beasts, You're full of crap. And
Speaker 2: so my wife sends him the video that mister Beasts
Speaker 2: said earlier. He drops it into the chat. Mike drop.
Speaker 1: He was really nice and really interesting. And his whole
Speaker 1: squad he has all his you know, his whole group
Speaker 1: that do all his videos with him. They were all
Speaker 1: such nice people and really and really like we like
Speaker 1: because everyone has questions like how the hell did you
Speaker 1: guys do what you did? And they're all so nice
Speaker 1: about answering questions and explaining it all. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought they're really cool.
Speaker 2: And and and you know, he has a connection to
Speaker 2: a world that a lot of people don't understand yet.
Speaker 2: And it's really starting to blossom as far as taking
Speaker 2: over in the entertainment industry. So like, whereas you and
Speaker 2: I go to the movies, and a lot of people
Speaker 2: go to the movies, most kids watch TikTok or YouTube,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, where we watch Scrubs or
Speaker 2: where we watch you know, Arrested Development. What. They've never
Speaker 2: heard of these shows because they're strictly watching Kai or
Speaker 2: Beast or Speed on YouTube.
Speaker 1: By the way, he said he'd come on the podcast
Speaker 1: he did. I think he'd be a great guest.
Speaker 2: It would be interesting to talk to him about this
Speaker 2: wave that's that's hitting well.
Speaker 1: Also, just like his story is incredible. I mean, the
Speaker 1: fact that he has reached the level of success and
Speaker 1: he's such a he feels like a guy who's so
Speaker 1: into everything. The algorithms, like how to crack it all.
Speaker 1: Like he's so knowledgeable, he's like a scientist.
Speaker 2: It would be good for us also just as a
Speaker 2: podcast and how to promote our podcast and ways and
Speaker 2: stuff like.
Speaker 1: That's well, his buddy who's in charge of Instagram was
Speaker 1: telling you all the stuff I didn't know about Instagram.
Speaker 1: It was so interesting. I mean, they're they're like, they're
Speaker 1: like data scientists. It's really interesting. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: after these fine words.
Speaker 3: But then I was going to ask you about the race.
Speaker 3: I'm curious about the race, and so did guy? Did
Speaker 3: you guys not watch the.
Speaker 1: Race? Is awesome? You know, keep in mind, you only
Speaker 1: see it when it comes by you, and it comes
Speaker 1: by you like and then you and then you watch
Speaker 1: it on TV. That's what's so funny about F one,
Speaker 1: is like you only get a glimpse of it when
Speaker 1: they race by it. And because we were above the
Speaker 1: the the pit stop areas, we were lucky enough to
Speaker 1: be able to look down and see the when they
Speaker 1: pull in and change the tires and fuel up and
Speaker 1: do whatever they do. That was really cool.
Speaker 2: In less than six seconds. In less than six seconds.
Speaker 1: Not even that it's like stop n take off. It
Speaker 1: was incredible.
Speaker 2: And if you and if you and if you're if
Speaker 2: you're on a turn, you might see it a little
Speaker 2: bit longer, but straightaways they just fly through straightaways.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's a weird fun thing because you're there
Speaker 1: and you're being social and you're and you're like, you know,
Speaker 1: at basically a cocktail party if you're in one of
Speaker 1: these suites. But then you're like, wait here they come.
Speaker 1: And then you watch on TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah and shout out to uh McLaren, I mean, what's
Speaker 2: the Uh. They were very nice to us.
Speaker 1: And well you you took a tour of the McLaren pit, right.
Speaker 2: What yes?
Speaker 1: Me?
Speaker 2: Yeah, me, Bradley make it their beast and uh uh
Speaker 2: we were the three that actually made it inside then
Speaker 2: with your buddy, and then I ran into Aaron Taylor
Speaker 2: Johnson who kick ass too, with yeah, man.
Speaker 3: I just bought my tickets to Craven, very excited.
Speaker 2: I'm listen man, this brother. I haven't seen him in
Speaker 2: over ten years. And it was like, oh man, there's
Speaker 2: pictures of us. Smile, the smile on my face, the
Speaker 2: smile on his face. We kicked at hardcore back in
Speaker 2: London and in Toronto when we made that movie, and
Speaker 2: like we were, we were buds. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I named my daughter after his I thought I named
Speaker 2: my daughter after his daughter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean. You know that story.
Speaker 1: He's wild.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, and you know, I it's it's it was.
Speaker 2: It was just great to see him. I hadn't seen
Speaker 2: him in a long time, and it was really good
Speaker 2: to see him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was super fun. And then we just they
Speaker 1: just just threw a really amazing event. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you think of the scale of the logistics of doing that,
Speaker 1: it was just it's crazy to watch it all happened.
Speaker 2: T Mobile.
Speaker 1: The mobile came through. Thank you for inviting us. We
Speaker 1: had a blast. And then we went back. Now here's
Speaker 1: the funny story. We go back to the to the casino.
Speaker 2: Now the story are we going to tell?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can tell a really crazy story that happened.
Speaker 1: That's so embarrassing. I am willing to tell this story
Speaker 1: that I think. I think, Wait, you don't, don't cut
Speaker 1: to that part.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start, all right, So we go to the
Speaker 2: club Joelle, Okay, all right, we're all fam We.
Speaker 1: Decided we're going to go to the club because you know,
Speaker 1: we're in Vegas. When in Rome and it's packed, I mean,
Speaker 1: f one fucking weekend at when this club is called
Speaker 1: what's it called Excess Excess, the letters Excess. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: we go there. Our friend Scott Sartiano, who's a famous
Speaker 1: restaurant tour is like guiding us through the mayhem with
Speaker 1: a bunch of friends, and we're like trying to hold
Speaker 1: on staying, you know, connected to each other because he's
Speaker 1: fucking packed, and he's leading us to a booth. But
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we finally get to the booth,
Speaker 1: it's so packed. Music's blaring. I think it's the Chainsmokers, right, Donald.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chaine Smokers.
Speaker 1: And then and then it's four.
Speaker 2: O'clock in the hold one. It's four o'clock, three o'clock
Speaker 2: in the morning or something like that too. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's and I've already said to Zach, dude, I want
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well I'm too old for this too by this point.
Speaker 1: But anyway, Donald really wanted to go, but I was
Speaker 1: just like, you know, come on, went in Rome, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go for like a half hour of the club.
Speaker 1: Since everyone was going, so we go. By the time
Speaker 1: I get to the table, the booth, which was packed,
Speaker 1: but we were just standing there. I lost Donald and
Speaker 1: I'm with and I'm like, oh, I'm like, there's no way.
Speaker 1: This dude just french exited like that. That would have
Speaker 1: been too late, like he did like a peel off.
Speaker 1: And he's gone. And so the whole group I'm with
Speaker 1: we're like, yo, he lost Donald. I'm looking out for him.
Speaker 1: I can't see him. I'm texting him like, dude, there's
Speaker 1: no way, you just fucking left. And then I'm just like.
Speaker 2: Text him back. I go no. And then the booth.
Speaker 1: Then I look up Joelle. I'm at this fucking in
Speaker 1: front of thousands and thousands of people. This dude's in
Speaker 1: the DJ boots.
Speaker 3: Bas you love a DJ booth, Donald, I.
Speaker 2: Can't something special about the DJ booth, something.
Speaker 1: The regular at the wind DJ booth.
Speaker 2: So I get to the booth and I'm the creator
Speaker 2: of Yellowstones there, Jeffrey Rights there and Michael Fastbender and
Speaker 2: you know, Jeffrey's like, you want to do shots, bro,
Speaker 2: And I'm like yeah, So we do a couple of
Speaker 2: shots and ship and so now I'm lit, and in
Speaker 2: my mind, I'm like, Zach has to be here. Zach's
Speaker 2: fucking one of the best directors I know. If I
Speaker 2: can get him over here, maybe he could make a
Speaker 2: deal happen with these motherfuckers. And he's directing the New
Speaker 2: Yellowstone starring Jeffrey Wright and Michael Fastpender. That's where my
Speaker 2: mind's going, right, we gotta we gotta make this happen.
Speaker 2: So now I'm trying to weigh if this motherfucker down.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, we finally have eye contact, and it's for
Speaker 1: these scrubs mega fans. It's a bit like when when
Speaker 1: uh when Donald When Turk and Carla get back from
Speaker 1: their honeymoon and it's like Turk, so we finally have
Speaker 1: eye contact, and he's like trying to gesture how I'm
Speaker 1: supposed to mind the way there's so many people. I'm like,

Speaker 1: Florence's assistant on A Good Person's name was Chip and
Speaker 1: uh and he's a great guy. Chip worked on He
Speaker 1: also works for Jason Senakis on On On Lasso. He
Speaker 1: did a bunch of things on a movie. Awesome guy.
Speaker 1: If you for those of you who know a good person,
Speaker 1: he plays him. He doesn't play himself, but he plays
Speaker 1: a character in the opening uh party scene where someone's like,
Speaker 1: if you're going to sleep with Chip or eleven condoms?
Speaker 1: And he's like what what? He just He's a really sweet,
Speaker 1: funny guy. He's an actor too anyway. So when he
Speaker 1: first I first heard mumblings of the word Chip, I went, oh,
Speaker 1: obviously he knows Chip. A lot of people who are
Speaker 1: you know a list actors know Chip. He he's a
Speaker 1: he's you know, people know him. So I thought, oh me,
Speaker 1: he Chip works for him too. So my brain first
Speaker 1: was my brain was still rolling with he means me
Speaker 1: because the because Chip had some resonance for me. But
Speaker 1: then he clarified like this, Joelle hands on heart, I
Speaker 1: love Chips.
Speaker 3: Oh God.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I know I'm not Eric Estrada, right,
Speaker 1: I know I'm not the other dude, John John, I'm
Speaker 1: not Payna. I'm obviously he thought I was.
Speaker 2: I'm not. Wait a second, could I could?
Speaker 1: Yeah? But that was fun. That was a blast.
Speaker 2: What was really cool, though, was watching Ryan Tedder and
Speaker 2: Snoop Dogg do a rendition of Gin and Juice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Ryan Tedder's just playing the chords and Snoop Dogg's wrapping
Speaker 2: it slowly in front of all of these t mobile
Speaker 2: the lyrics.
Speaker 1: Do you know how big Ryan Tedder is? Like Ryan Tedder,
Speaker 1: he just follow him on Instagram. He posted, you know,
Speaker 1: you know how this is the week everyone's putting their
Speaker 1: Spotify things out. And I guess if you're a songwriter
Speaker 1: you can put how many you can literally put in
Speaker 1: like how many streams do all of my songs have
Speaker 1: for the year, And Ryan Tedder posted his it was
Speaker 1: seven point seven billion. I was like, I think that's good.
Speaker 1: I think he has so many hot bops. So he
Speaker 1: does this like medley for like everyone at the piano
Speaker 1: and the guitar where he just like he like sings
Speaker 1: a couple of his songs, of his one Republic songs.
Speaker 1: But then he goes and like it's like, oh, and
Speaker 1: you probably didn't know, and he tells like a little anecdote.
Speaker 1: He's like, so I wrote this for Beyonce, and then
Speaker 1: he like fucking goes into a song and then I
Speaker 1: wrote this for Rihanna, and then it's like a medley
Speaker 1: of like giant pop hits that you had no idea
Speaker 1: he wrote.
Speaker 2: He's written quite a few halo Oh my god. Well
Speaker 2: all right, he says. Now his story with the Beyonce
Speaker 2: song is he yeah, he wrote the song for her
Speaker 2: and then she changed it up and changed Halo up.
Speaker 1: Juell just read, just just put in Ryan ted uh
Speaker 1: biggest hits. You'll be blown away.
Speaker 3: This is incredible.
Speaker 2: It's a very good song. Well, we've always known he's
Speaker 2: a good songwriter. Though everybody's known this. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: the one republic is him and a couple of musicians
Speaker 2: getting together. And that was also the dopest part I forgot.
Speaker 2: So he has a guy in the band that plays
Speaker 2: the fiddle and they getting Snoop gets to the end
Speaker 2: of the song and he's like, now play that fiddle,
Speaker 2: and the dude was just there bopp into the whole
Speaker 2: thing the whole time, like listening to you know, Ryan
Speaker 2: and Snoop do this rendition. He's like, wait, I gotta
Speaker 2: put for.
Speaker 1: It was impromptu. They hadn't planned it. Ryan literally came
Speaker 1: up and said, I practiced these chords right before you know,
Speaker 1: I turned the mic on. So I'm gonna do my
Speaker 1: best and see if maybe I can convince a certain
Speaker 1: sum wanted to come up here. So he starts playing
Speaker 1: what is it Donald the chords.
Speaker 2: Rolling down the street, smoking.
Speaker 1: Sipping juice, Yes, and then just just playing the simple
Speaker 1: chords on the piano. So then Snoop's like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: I can't just sit here if you're gonna play that.
Speaker 1: So Snoop, by the way, and this is in front
Speaker 1: of like twenty people, and then and then so Snoop
Speaker 1: starts rapping the song, leaning on the piano. He goes,
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do this, and he was like,
Speaker 1: leaning on the piano, rapping the song with so.
Speaker 2: Funny much drama in the LBC. It's kind of hard
Speaker 2: being snoop de o double G but I in some way.
Speaker 1: And then the guy, the guy who was playing the
Speaker 1: fiddle or the violin whatever, it.
Speaker 2: Was like, but let me just say one thing. He
Speaker 2: gets to the point he goes, we got freaks in
Speaker 2: the living room getting it on and they ain't leaving,
Speaker 2: and nobody said anything but me. I yell out six,
Speaker 2: So what you want to do? Right? And he goes
Speaker 2: here and he gets a but for what and nobody
Speaker 2: said anything. Here I come again. We don't love them house?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
Speaker 1: Everyone else was like in awe and like or had
Speaker 1: their phone outs and ship Donald was like the backup singer.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: I loved it. It was such a great night.
Speaker 1: But then so there's a guy who was playing violin
Speaker 1: or fiddle with with Ryan for his songs and he
Speaker 1: was just he was like, because this was impromptu, he
Speaker 1: wasn't like prepared to play along. He's just sitting there
Speaker 1: bopping his head like everybody else and then Snoop turns
Speaker 1: to him and he's like, it's your turn for a
Speaker 1: solo in so many words, and the dude was like,
Speaker 1: what what you and he didn't know? He was like
Speaker 1: he didn't. He panicked, He panicked. He like he couldn't
Speaker 1: step up to the moment.
Speaker 2: He did step up to the moment.
Speaker 1: He did a little bit. So he did a little moment,
Speaker 1: but he panicked a bit.
Speaker 2: Donald He said he was scared at first. I was like, dude,
Speaker 2: you had none to be scared of. What you did
Speaker 2: was dope.
Speaker 1: What did Snoop say? Put a little goes, put some
Speaker 1: fiddle in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, put a put a little fiddle in the middle.
Speaker 3: That's great.
Speaker 2: D O Double came to play that night. I'm telling
Speaker 2: you he came to play. Like that's always good too,
Speaker 2: because you know, people get paid to do their songs,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like, you get paid a
Speaker 2: lot of money to do I'm sure Snoop gets paid
Speaker 2: a lot of money to Dojen and Juice. And for
Speaker 2: him to go up there and just do that shit
Speaker 2: for us.

Speaker 1: executives happy. But it was awesome, but it was.

Speaker 4: about an attraction level and confidence within a person.
Speaker 3: I think it's connected.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I don't know about that, but I do
Speaker 1: know that it's bizarre when they show all these guys
Speaker 1: on the screen. They're all very good looking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, slash, they're yeah, they're all mister Steele, your boyfriend
Speaker 2: slash girlfriend.

Speaker 4: very excited about.
Speaker 1: I got invited to the Bob Dylan movie. Uh, oh, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go. I don't really like going
Speaker 1: to other people's premieres. It's weird.
Speaker 4: Premieres are difficult once you've been to a couple like
Speaker 4: the shiny excitement of it. No, they're really it's a
Speaker 4: lot of standing around and then it's awkward socializing.
Speaker 1: And it's not like if you have no relationship to
Speaker 1: anyone involved in the movie. I don't go to them
Speaker 1: anymore because it's like, why would it would be so
Speaker 1: much more fun to see this on your own with
Speaker 1: a friend than go to like the giant, splashy premiere.
Speaker 1: Obviously if it's your if it's your friend or it's yours,
Speaker 1: it's a different story totally.
Speaker 2: I stopped going to premieres after, you know, I had
Speaker 2: one really disappointing premiere. I'm not going to mention the name.
Speaker 1: Is it when you told Kathy what's her name? From
Speaker 1: Star Wars Twins?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, that was the last time.
Speaker 2: I don't like going to That was the last time
Speaker 2: I was like, your name Kathy, Kathleen Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Kathleen Kennedy's twin. I think it's not fair for her
Speaker 1: to be at a premiere and look exactly like her.
Speaker 1: She needs to change her hairstyle because because she Donald
