Speaker 1: Jeremy Piven is coming to town in August. Tickets are

Speaker 1: available through ticketech for his show at the Asta Theater

Speaker 1: on August six, and we are being treated to a

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: reprise of Jeremy with Us this morning.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: Hello, how's it going? But how's it going with you?

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 2: Welcome back? Oh man, I'm living the dream right now.

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: You've been.

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: You've been doing some shows in California this past week

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: and touring the US over the next couple of months

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: before heading here. Are you when you lock in a show,

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: is it locked in? Or do you leave room to

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: tweak it as you go along?

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: In terms of the material, it's you know, it depends

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: on where I am. I mean, I like to immediately

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: hit the ground running and just walk around to town

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: and get a sense of it and then really address

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: what my take on that town is. You know, Like

18
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: I was just in Cleveland and I was staying at

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: the fourth Seasons, but it was Cleveland, so it was

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 2: two seasons and they didn't have there were some seasons

21
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: missing there was. It went right from winter to get

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: me THETI Oh sorry about that.

23
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: Sorry, Hey, Jeremy blush. We laugh at you, but who

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 3: do you laugh? Who makes you laugh on a regular basis,

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: and it can be someone in company history.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: Oh man, that's that's a great question. You know, I

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: was just so lucky out of college to work with

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: like the great Gary Shandling and all of these incredibly

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: brilliant people. So I and and and Jerry Seinfeld. You know,

30
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: you know, a guy in my twenties like just working

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: with these with these masters, these legends, and uh and

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: you know I I get up in in La and

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: New York and they throw all all the comics on

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: the sets together. So you know, the nicky Glazers of

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: the world, who really deserve all the success that she's

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: getting because she works very hard and she's really funny.

37
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: Your guy, Jim Jefferies always really makes me laugh.

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: Is now. When we spoke to you last time, we

39
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: were talking about your movie, which your sister wrote and

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: directed you in the performance. And after we spoke, I

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: went and watched the trailer. May I say magnificent, But

42
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: then I'm a big tap dancing fan. The movie is

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: about a gifted Jewish tap dancer who's recruited to perform

44
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: a one night engagement in nineteen thirties Berlin. You know,

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: has to obviously put on the show of his life.

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: What I'm confused though, what's the story with its release?

47
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: Where can I watch it?

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: Is it?

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: What's happening?

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: Wow, you've read my mind? Yeah, and everything that I'm

51
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: going through right now. You know, at a certain point

52
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: you get to an age everyone does or they don't

53
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: where you have to drop all of your expectations and

54
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: and and just a how I guess without being too

55
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: ethereal like the universe and the divine timing to take

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,839
Speaker 2: over because it is the best work I've ever done,

57
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: and it's time for it to come out. And so

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: we're we're just trying to figure that out right now.

59
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: So I, by the way, I'm not dancing around an answer.

60
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: I just don't know the answer, but it is. You know, listen,

61
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: it took me ten years to get the money. Yeah,

62
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: and you know, to learn how to tap dance. Yeah.

63
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: And by the way, every year I said, no, I

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: got better at tap dance. So that's an example of

65
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: divine timing. I wanted to happen, and it happened when

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: I was ready. And now that everyone hates Jews again,

67
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: it's time to release my movie. But I really want

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: to say it.

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: Good luck because it deserves, you know, when you consider

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: some of the rubbish that gets released in the cinema.

71
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: My word, I want to say this.

72
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about, Black Adam, what

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: do you mean by that? To come on? There's been

74
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: some great stuff.

75
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: Too fair, I'm the jermy, what's going on? I might

76
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: have say some footage like well, there's been a bit

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: of footage circulating lightly about people like Denzel Washington and

78
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: even Tom Hanks getting upset with PEPARAZZI. Do you get

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: trouble with him handing elan? How do you deal with him?

80
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: You know? I used to listen, I'm still single and

81
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: I'm two hundred years old, and people say to me,

82
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: you know why you're still single? And I say that

83
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: I've been married to my work and then my work

84
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: decided to see other people. But I digress. Hold on, Sorry,

85
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: I had to slip that in there. Yea, No, you

86
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: know I used to. I used to look at I'm

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: I'm I'm a stage actor from Chicago. I don't know

88
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: what the equivalent in Australia would be. Probably Perth. It'd

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: probably be Perth like a guy, you know, like a

90
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: local guy just grinding or you say grafting, you know,

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: on the stage, and you know, I won the fresh

92
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: Face of the Year award at forty years old, and

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: I said, thank you so much for this award. There's

94
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: nothing fresh about my face, but thank you.

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: I appreciate twenty year old suist.

96
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts on the potential tariffs on

97
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: films produced diversars coming into the US EU? Are you

98
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: worried about the industry at all?

99
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: You know, I think the great thing about worrying is

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: it doesn't do anything. So all I can control is,

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: you know, like, for instance, there's this war overseas, and

102
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: you know, everyone somehow is a an expert on world politics,

103
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: you know, which is adorable. And I just think that,

104
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: you know, it's nuanced, and people aren't willing to I

105
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: think that people are really some people are hell bent

106
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: on identifying an oppressor, getting out there and making it

107
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: known that they're on the right side, and it's like, well,

108
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: hold on a second. I think that it's a little

109
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: more complicated and nuanced, and so I'm just open to

110
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 2: the truth. What's really going on, what's happening. I can't

111
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: control any of that stuff. I can just do the

112
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: best work that I possibly can. By the way, this

113
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: is the most politically correct answer in the history of it.

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 2: Sounds like, by the way, you could use this if

115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: you have trouble sleeping later, just use my answers. You'll

116
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: just be like, Oh, I'm so tired, I need that slope.

117
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: That was great. Yeah, But when you were in town,

118
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 3: you're getting the vibe of Perth, the vibe of the city.

119
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: You can go to the Swan River. It's very famous

120
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: and you can look at it from a place called

121
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: King's Park, and maybe go to our beautiful beaches as well,

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: even though the weather won'd be perfect that time of year.

123
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: You'll need to do a bit of that. But you

124
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: need to talk to locals too to maybe help you

125
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 3: with with your Perth vibe. As far as the show

126
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: is concerned, do you do a bit of that, you

127
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: catch up with locals when you're in town.

128
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,679
Speaker 2: Oh, that's the first thing I do is run around

129
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: and just get it, get a sense. I just immediately

130
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 2: start walking around and just get lost. And you know,

131
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: it's amazing just what you know, what happens to you

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: and what's revealed. You know, like today I was I

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: was walking, I was crossing the street, and the only

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 2: car that stopped for me was a way more car.

135
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: It was a driverless car. So so what I think

136
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: it's the I think it's the opposite. I think that

137
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: AI and machines will teach us how to be human, might.

138
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: Take you some manners again, maybeging better.

139
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: I was just so profusely thanking no one. It was

140
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: just amazing.

141
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Well, we will stop for you here, Jeremy. We can't

142
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: wait for you to get to town. August sixth. Let

143
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: me know who. I need to write a stern letter

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: to to get help with the performance, because I want

145
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: to damn well see it and I will do what

146
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: I can to help.

147
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: And she wants to tip dance.

148
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, you know what it's. I know you're kidding,

149
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: but the reality is, well, you know, you know, to

150
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: be honest with you, I made the movie to show

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: it to people like you, and so that's who we

152
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: make it for. And I think they forget that. Yeah,

153
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: so you know, And and I think that right now

154
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: people feel the way you do in terms of they're

155
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: just wondering. They don't they're not connecting with any of

156
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,280
