I was like, stop talking, this 0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:16.520 is good stuff. Um. If you can't recognize the voice, 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:22.079 we have Austin Nichols on Wine Own. Hello, thank you 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.600 for having me. Um, this is fun and sorry, we 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:30.159 were just talking about your mullet. Well it's not a 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:35.200 true mullet, because you know, true mullet is party upfront. Sorry, 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.400 business upfront, party in the rear. So but my front 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.040 is long and also scraggly, so it's not a true mullet. 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.080 But when I have a hat on, it's getting it 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:47.960 looks like I have a wallet a little bit. And 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.880 just I've been working, I was I was like, I 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.240 don't need a haircut. I don't want a haircut. Let's 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.680 let it go. So I'm mullets are totally in right now, 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:04.680 are they? Yeah, doesn't have a mullet. Yeah, sure. I 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.920 think I remember looking one time in going I think 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:12.080 that's he's like the guy, the mullet guy. That's so funny. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.479 Wait the kids are that's like the back in. Yeah, 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.000 so I can keep going with this. Yeah, apparently you 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.399 want to be a party in the front, but you 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:25.320 know it's a It's definitely a departure from from what 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:32.240 um Julian would have Julian Julian was weird. He started 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.600 off with like a shaved head. I was giving myself 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.120 a hair cut before I started work on One Tree 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.720 Hill and accidentally the guard fell off the thing and 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.000 I shaved a line in my head. So I got 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.240 to work on the first morning and Greg Range and 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.680 hair and makeup were like, what do you what happened? 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.559 So they had to like shave my hair down even 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.559 more and like spray paint the back of my head 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:55.840 when I started. So I started with like a really 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.640 really buzzed, really short haircut, and then it grew out 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:03.240 over the years. Okay, so the hair was a lot 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.760 shorter on One Tree Hill. And I feel like, I 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.480 don't know, I mean like I kind of wish Julian 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.160 would have brought in some of the curls. I'm digging 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:16.760 the curls. Yeah, I'm embracing my natural growth and curl. 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.079 Now I'm an older man, I'm more comfortable with who 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.799 I am. Here's a question, though, if someone was to 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.400 ask you to cut your hair, would you be fine 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.880 with Because I know some actors like when I get 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.000 into you know, they're like, I'm not not cutting it, okay. 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.919 So I never understood that because I always I want 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.480 to do what's right for the character. And if the 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.760 character has, you know, short hair, if he's as a 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.280 military crew cut, if he has a pony, I just 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:40.760 want to do what's right for the character. So I 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.160 love wigs, I love getting haircuts. I love changing it up, 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:47.120 changed color, I don't care. But now that I've actually 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:51.079 spent time trying, like letting it grow, it takes so long. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.680 Girls not this. I don't think guys noticed it takes 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.800 so long to grow your hair out. If somebody says 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.720 cut it, you're like, but I spent all this growing up. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.480 It really so hard for this hair. Can I just 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.720 say thank you for having empathy for girls, because you 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.360 now get it, because I swear when I cut my hair, oh, 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:15.400 the man was like, I don't know, like seven months ago. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.760 I regretted it instantly because you realize how long it 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:22.720 takes to grow out. Again. I also understand why girls 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:28.000 say I don't want to get my hair wet right now? Yeah. Yeah, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.040 always like jump in the pool, jump in the lake. 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.720 Who cares? I don't want to get my haircut or 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:34.920 I don't want to get my hair wet right now, 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.240 I'm like, why now I get it right? Yeah? Like 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.640 because and I don't say it with like the long hair, 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.320 like I don't. You can't really shower your hair every 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.680 day because I'm just like greasy and so. And also, 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.000 when it looks good, it looks good. You want to 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.960 keep it good for as long as you can. Is 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:53.360 when it looks the best problem I know. And then 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.600 ohen Catherine, she's the bun is back. But so she 0:03:57.760 --> 0:03:59.560 got her hair. Her hair is always in a bun. 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.720 It's got like that like curliness, curly. But we had 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.600 the Wine Down tour and she had her hair straightened. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.720 The amount of comments that I got about your hair 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.200 was insane. And Katherine's like a crap, and I'm going 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.720 to have to do the work. I'm never gonna be 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.520 able to wear a bun again because everybody's like, oh, 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.920 she looks great. I'm like, what did I look like before? 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.080 It's fine, it's totally fine. I'm making an appointment tomorrow. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.200 But how do you feel that? Because it's like, I know, 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.160 it's when you read comments, right, that's one of those 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:35.040 things where they probably made you feel amazing, and then 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.600 also I still want you to feel amazing now in 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.400 the bomb like you look you're Catherine. I mean, the 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.960 reality is I don't really care. I mean, I'm always 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.200 going to have the bun um. But you know, I 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.600 can go a little half and half, you know, half 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.520 fun half the week because I can't go all the 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.839 whole week without washing my hair right and I can't 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.040 straighten it myself. So I'm still going to teach her how. 0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:57.080 I'm like, it's not that hard, girlfriend. We got this 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.120 to do it when I was younger, but it's just 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.159 so much work. It is a lot of work. Yeah, 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:05.080 it's not worth it. We're gonna We're gonna go to 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.400 because we obviously have to ask Onetree Hill questions because 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.200 you know we'll get there. But I haven't seen you 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.960 when I ran into you in November at the Onetree 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.160 Hill Convention, and it had been eleven years since I 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.520 saw you, really, I think, so that's crazy. Well, I 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.960 mean we stopped the show when it would have been 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:31.760 less than ten really because we're still I feel like 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.440 I feel like it's been over ten since the end, 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.840 because I remember when I directed I think I was 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.000 thirty one and that was the that was the last 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:46.280 two seasons. And yeah, it's been over a decade. So 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:51.320 what has changed? What do you mean with what has 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:56.480 what has changed with you? Where from when you were 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.680 on the show too now as a as a human 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:05.120 like who you are, has something changed? Absolutely? I think 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.360 I was when I was younger, I was so hyper 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:12.880 focused on my career and you know, finding the best 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.960 things to do and and just and go go, go, 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.839 like really really fast. And the thing that has changed 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.120 for me in the last few years has been speed 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.680 and pace of life. And I've slowed down. I tried 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:34.040 to breathe and relax and not eat fast and onto 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.520 the next thing. And I was always I was always 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.840 rushing to the next thing. I feel like, and now 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:44.239 I truly try to take my time and like enjoy 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:49.240 every moment, enjoy little things like little stupid things, the 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.880 dumb things that we do all day in life, like 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:56.000 finding a parking space. I'm like, I got this from 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.680 Jerry Seinfeld, um fall in love with your parking space, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.520 And I love that because it just says, you know, 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.279 we have to do all this stupid all the time. 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.360 But if you go, oh, no, I'm going to find 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.520 the best parking space right now, and I am going 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.200 to have fun finding this parking space. I mean that's 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.560 a silly example. Well but yeah, all kinds of things 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.160 in life like that, and I feel like I'm trying 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:23.040 to find joy and all this stupid stuff. It's almost 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.160 like intentions, Like you're really setting intentions of joy and 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:31.360 you're I really I really like that a lot. Good too. 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.360 Jan How long do you think you take to eat? 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:39.000 I think I take, especially as a mom like Sere. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.520 So this is interesting that you say this because a 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.400 lot I get a lot of dams and people saying 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:46.640 do you ever eat? Because whenever you're you're with the 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.600 kids and you're filming, they're always eating and you're just 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:54.400 kind of not eating. Um, and it's hard. I mean 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.480 I I eat fast. Yeah, I mean I do too. 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.440 But like I think about that, like, yeah, but that's 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.000 it's a good one. It's a good one to think 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.120 about to sit down and take your time and eat. 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.360 I like it. It was really beautiful eyes by the way, 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:13.440 thanks really nice. And your pupils did you take acid 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:18.720 before you got pupils are huge, they're beautiful. Have a 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:24.680 concussion yeah, it's not going to start breaking out, thank you, no, 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.320 but there is something in what you just said because 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.960 coming in a little baby um with even when we 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.840 were working out earlier, I would just I laid down 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.760 and I was just like I just started to breathe, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.960 and I'm like, I have not taken a breath in 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.200 like three weeks because if I had the kids so 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.360 much and in just like the tour and moving in fact, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.359 it's just it felt so nice to just breathe. Absolutely, 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.839 it was so relaxing. And then again like the in 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.040 the intention of like I said this to um, I 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.120 went where was I want somewhere just for a fun 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:05.800 little day trip, and I said every interaction I want 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.800 to I know I said this before I choose joy, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.120 but just be so like with the flight attendant, I 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.559 was like, Hi, how are like a like actual genuine 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.679 conversations and interest and not fake, but just be like 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.560 really care about what they're saying, and then my intentions 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:22.880 of what I'm saying, And it felt awesome. I was 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.000 so much happier. Absolutely, it's so easy to breathe through 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.600 those wo be like I gotta go. Yeah, but like 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:30.120 I'm on a road trip, right now And I did 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:32.720 the same thing yesterday. I was in Memphis getting coffee 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.040 and this lady was like, tell me about your van, 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.240 tell me about your dog. And I sat there and 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:39.760 talked to her. I tried to talk to her for 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.640 a while and really answer a questions. Same thing. It 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.559 just makes you feel better, I think too, Like I 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:51.760 felt happier doing that instead of just passing I have 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.880 to go to go to the important. It takes the 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.600 focus off yourself, honestly, Like if you're actually taking time 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.360 to speak to someone else and hearing them out kind 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.000 of takes you out of your own focus on yourself 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.120 because we're all naturally focusing on ourself the majority of 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.400 the day, if we're honest, So it's kind of nice 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.720 to take that break and listen to somebody else and yeah, 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.319 and make other people like smile, Like when Cathy the 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.560 check and lady with the tickets, I was like, how 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.240 are you you know, genuinely, like I really want to know, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.720 Like how are you? I love? Um, what is one 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:32.560 thing that you think you still struggle with that you 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.400 would like to do some more growth with. That's a 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:42.679 good one, Um, I think I think. I don't know. 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:44.120 I feel like it might be wrapped up in the 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.600 In the same answer, I I guess I cared a 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:52.360 lot about um being really good at what I do, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:57.040 and and I wanted other people to think I was good. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.360 And there's not necess certaly anything wrong with that. But 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.800 if I think, if you worry about it too much, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.560 it can be dangerous. And I mean, I think we 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.679 all feel like, I feel like we all want to 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:11.480 be good at something, or we want to be recognized, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.560 or we want people to go, oh, you know, here's 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.760 not an award, but like here's you know, recognition. But 0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.200 I feel like maybe maybe I cared too much when 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.240 I was young about stuff like that, and I'm I've 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.000 let or m letting that go entirely like I don't 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.200 really care right now, and you know you're good now, 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.680 but like the confidence right, like you know you've got credits, 0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:41.480 you're directly you you you know you're good, right. I 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.440 think I'm good at some things, yeah, I mean, yeah, 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.160 I think I'm good at some things. I think I'm 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.559 not great at some things. Also, well, no one's perfect, 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:54.480 and even there's always work, there's all you can always, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.520 I don't know, you can always strive to be better 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.080 and all that, but but truly now I'm like, I 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.040 don't care. I want to have as much fun as 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.960 I can in these moments, and like where I am working, 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:09.760 I want to work with great people who are nice 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.360 and lovely and care about what they're doing too, and 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.000 have as much fun with them as I can and 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:22.160 and go home. And you know, so that's that's definitely. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.319 I mean, you asked if where I still need work, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.680 and I definitely haven't mastered. I haven't mastered that yet. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.760 But that's that's something, Okay. I like that. That's something 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.920 I will say. You are. I mean, you're obviously everyone 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.520 that knows you and watched your stuff, you're incredibly talented. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.880 But I'll never forget there was one moment where when 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.520 two of my best scenes was with you. Um. One 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.400 when we were sitting on the couch that I hate 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.920 myself when I'm quiet, um. And then the other one 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:07.280 was when I was so drained from filming that um 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.800 where I was crying a bunch when all there are 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.440 you know, the attempted suicide and all that stuff happened, 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.360 and I couldn't cry, and you held my hands and 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.000 you were just like just look at me and I 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.480 was like, awesome, I can't, I can't, I can't, I 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.120 can't cry, Like I just I can't do this, and 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:22.719 You're like just look at me, and you were like 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:25.040 squeezing my hands and then it was like water works 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.800 and like that was such a gift as an actor 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.200 that you gave to me, and it was on my side, 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:30.800 like you you know, you didn't need to do that, 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.439 and you were just not only are incredibly talented, but 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.560 you're a very giving actor too, And I'll never forget that. 0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:40.000 I'll never forget that moment that was. You remember it too, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:46.560 of course, I'll never forget that because often as actors, 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.080 we we're just the other actor in the scene and 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.360 there are moments where we can't help each other and 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.480 it's there's sometimes hard to find and hard to figure out, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:02.080 but it can happen. And um, I love that that 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:07.160 just happened spontaneously and and um it did. Yeah, it was. 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.520 It was cool, and that doesn't happen all the time. 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.880 I've no and I've also taken that and like the 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:16.600 when I was doing one of my last films, I 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.440 remember like this girl was struggling and I was just 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.760 I did what you did? And it's like there's to 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.160 connect with someone else and just be present and not 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.360 worry about you don't need to do it right the 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.680 second and just just sit and stare and like look 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.080 at me. And then like that girl just started and 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:34.160 I was like, I did it, Austin, that's good, that's 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.120 so great. Yeah, but I just I never I never 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:41.040 forgot that. So um Catherine, Yes, So Austin is on 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:45.000 a new show that we we watched. Yes, I had to. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:49.960 I had I had to ask him, and I did. 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:55.800 I asked him. So they were real? I told you, well, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.680 I thought maybe they're about half and half. Okay, go ahead, Austin. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.760 The new show that you're on, Le's plug it right now, okay. 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:08.280 Um Minx on HBO Max is the really really cool idea. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.520 I love the show. It's about a woman in the 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.360 seventies who has a feminist magazine that she's trying to 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.840 get off the ground and everywhere she goes as a no. 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:20.360 And she's at this big conference for magazine people and 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.840 she meets a guy who's a porn publisher and he says, 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.720 I like your idea. I'll make your magazine, but it 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.320 has to have naked men. In it, So it's sentially 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.280 essentially about the first UM female porno mac or like 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.680 the first um porno magra. There's male naked men and um, 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.720 it's brilliant Idea. Ellen Rappaport created it and she's fantastic, 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:48.240 And RACHELI Goldenberg is directing a bunch of the episodes. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.640 She's fantastic. She's done a bunch of great movies. UM. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:57.440 I was thrilled to get the call and until they said, 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:05.200 you know, uh, full frontal nudity, and I was like, wait, 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:14.000 oh lord, I mean I got admit. I've fast forwarded 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.040 after about the gosh, I don't know tent one that 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.720 I saw like it just the first episode. They were 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:24.720 just close up, literally one after another after another, and 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:27.920 it was it wasn't just she was she was screaming 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.920 and I come running into the room and I'm like, what, 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.720 I just see balls and dick flapping up and down, 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:38.080 all kinds of different shapes and sizes and flavors. I mean, 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:42.640 it was it was something. It was yeah, okay, but 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:48.640 I'm gonna I'm gonna sit back and just let you 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:53.000 just try to figure out this question. Just I'm just 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:56.040 gonna let you squirm in this moment as your best friend. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.640 That's a lot of questions. Okay, So, first of all, 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.080 those were real as far as I know that sequence 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:04.920 where it was like all the close ups, I think 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:09.160 those were all real. If it wasn't all of them, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.600 it was most of them, because sometimes they're not real, right, Yeah, 0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:17.080 And sometimes like look, they do an amazing job with 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:21.040 prosthetics and and my favorite, my favorite word, merkin, the 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:24.119 pubic wig. The merkin is such a fun word, and 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:26.840 they do an amazing job with that stuff. But every 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.160 once in a while, yeah you can tell. I mean, 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.680 you just can't write. Maybe you can't. Maybe you can't. 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:36.080 I don't know, I don't know. We had this disagreement 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.520 as they were flashing on because I thought that they 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.400 were real. You thought that they weren't real. And there's 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.600 always like, what's that casting call say when they put 0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:52.400 out that breakdown exactly need real dicks. Um. Well, that's 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:54.119 where it takes me to my next question. So you 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:58.119 got the call and it says it tells you on 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.760 the front end full frontal nudity. So you're saying you're 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.720 also when naked in there? Yeah, I just missed it. Okay, 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.040 I got it, all right, just make sure. Well I 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:13.000 don't know if I missed it. I don't know because 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.400 I just got so you know, well you probably haven't 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:23.000 gotten to my episode yet because you wouldn't miss it. Okay, okay, 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.080 but it's not But it's not your dick though, I'll 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:32.040 never tell you told me. It's a prosthetics. So the thing, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.000 the whole thing. Can I ask a question about that? 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.119 Some spoilers coming, just so you know, Um, yes, you 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:39.960 can ask whatever you want first. So the thing was 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:43.480 that spoiler? Or you know, turn off for a second 0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.000 if you want. Um. No, I don't think anyone's going 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:50.600 to turn off My character, Billy Bronson, he's a he's 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.359 a quarterback. He's like when Super won Super Bowls, they 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.840 call him the goat. He's you know, been in the 0:18:56.920 --> 0:19:00.280 league for a really long time. He's the Southern is 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:05.880 and awful, a little awful, misogynistic quarterback. Um. The whole 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:10.119 point is that he wanted to um pose direct for 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.119 the magazine, and everybody the magazine starts going what what 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.480 the heck, what the heck? We can't do this, we 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:16.760 can't do this, we can't do this. He comes out 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:21.800 in a robe and he is, he's up and you know, 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.200 and then the whole thing takes place. I won't say anymore. 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.879 So you can go watch it and enjoy it. But 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.119 you know the logistics of shooting a scene. You know, 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:32.920 it takes half a day or all day to shoot 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.800 a scene. So it's like, how I mean, they couldn't 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.320 ask me to take you know, six doses of viagraph? 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:46.920 But would you have? No? No, no no, But like keeah, 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:48.280 a guy just get it hard when he wants to 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.320 get it hard, but for six hours, uh, in front 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:56.000 of a bunch of strangers, constantly with a camera lights 0:19:56.080 --> 0:19:59.639 on you and then constantly if it, you know, dips 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:05.240 down getting it back. Maybe some guy out there can 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:08.600 do it. But I don't know. That would be that 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.239 would be tough and terrifying. Well, here's my question. If 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:13.440 it didn't have to be erect, would you have shown 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:22.280 it not erect? Honestly depends on the material, the script, 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.320 the show, the movie. Would you have done it for 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.320 the show? Well, i'd have to it would be a 0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:33.000 different I don't know. I'd have to read the scenes 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:38.080 because they'd be different. Um, I'm not gonna say no. Um, 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.560 I'm also you know I'm shy and like, I don't know. 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.800 I really don't know. It's this case by case scenario. 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:46.520 I've said no to most of that in the past 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:51.960 because shy, um, but I'm not gonna say no. But 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:53.680 you never know, I didn't. I never thought I would 0:20:53.720 --> 0:20:56.240 do this, and I did this, so I don't. I 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.119 really don't know what I would do. So can we 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:02.439 just talk about the prosthetic part, like how did you have? 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.680 Like they obviously had to, so that was interesting because 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.639 I had two people, you know, applying it for we 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:14.920 had two applications on two different days on your penis, yes, 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:18.080 and two people on essentially on their knees right here, 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.520 Oh my god, applying And I'll tell you what, I 0:21:21.520 --> 0:21:24.719 didn't know how intensive a thing it is because they 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.439 have to, you know, shave all your body hair, and 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:31.360 then they have to you know, put glue, apply the latex, 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.200 then put this other stuff, and then put this other stuff, 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.080 and there's all these layers of stuff before you can 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.920 put the mark in over it. And it I think 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:41.639 the first day it took two hours, and then the 0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.280 second day it took an hour. So it's really you're 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:47.080 standing there buck naked for two hours for an hour 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:50.480 people down there, it's very awkward, but you're you're uncomfortably 0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:55.760 laughing a lot. And yeah, and you know, jokes are 0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:58.520 made and it's weird and you know, but we tried 0:21:58.520 --> 0:21:59.920 to have a good time with it and just laughing 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.280 about it. Yeah, And are you happy with the work 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:03.520 at the end of the day, Because it's not about 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.400 your penis, It's about the work. And so, I mean, 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.000 I love the character, I love the show. I'm yeah, 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.520 I had a blast. And um, it was great working 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.760 with Ellen and Rachel and all the other directors. They 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.879 have a bunch of great directors, a bunch of great actors. 0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:21.520 Jake Johnson is a dream to work with. Um. I 0:22:21.560 --> 0:22:25.400 didn't get to work with um Ophelia. She we didn't 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.320 have any scenes together. I hope I get to work 0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:31.600 with her someday. Um the supporting cast is all fantastic. 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.880 I loved them. They were a lot of fun. Um Yeah, 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:38.600 Like overall, just great, great experience. And then watching I 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.520 love the seventies too, so watch, you know, seeing the 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:44.000 clothes and the sets and all that. I just love 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:46.719 that time period. So it was fun for me as 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.760 a viewer, you know. Yeah, I mean it's definitely something 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.840 I'm like. When I saw the pictures and watched, I 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.719 was like, oh, this is this is this is Austin, 0:22:53.840 --> 0:22:56.080
