This is episode 22. We are missing a couple of the guys, but we've also added a special guest. Please put your hands together for the very talented, the very handsome, the very charismatic, Tristan Thompson, everybody. Thank you for having me on, boys. Tristan Thompson.

Wait a minute. That name sounds familiar. Even to this day for how long I've known you, when I say your name out loud, I still feel like I'm not saying it right because Tristan Thompson. Right. Dude, I've really gotten it ever since freshman year at the University of Texas because he played ball there. And so, like, I've got it nonstop, like, just like ever since. And the funniest story I have is I was doing this film, Sweet Dreams. It's directed by Lyshe Sark and had like Theo and Bobby and Giant Knoxville and all those boys.

And Gata from Dave was in like the trailer right next to me. And I remember Gator was like, he was like, oh shit. So you're Tristan Thompson? And I was like, yeah. And he's like, man, I call my manager, bro. I thought it was fucking. He was like, I thought I was a real dress in Thompson. And I was like, nah, dude, I'm white in 5-11.

Started his boy. I know. He's like, no, it's cool. Now I know it's you. I was like, mad love, mad love. But that was hilarious. But shout out to Gator, man. He's a man.

What a fun cast. Seriously. When was that? What year was that? So I think we shot that in like 23, but it came out in 24. Got you. Yeah, yeah. So two years ago.

Was that your first big? It was crazy, man. To give a little context to, Tristan is an actor. Tristan lives in California. Tristan is visiting Nashville right now, hanging out with the fellows. So we're going to dive into a little bit of what it is like to be in the life of an actor. And because we're on the other side of the camera.

And obviously we do a different kind of production. But I'm very interested here, the ins and out. So now that you guys have the full context. I'm like, so yeah. Let's have it, Tristan Thompson. Just. Tristan Thompson also lives in L.A., I think. Yes. I bet.

You should just call. Or you could call and get reservations at place and they'd be like clear that cleared out. Oh, yo, dude. Okay. So one time, uh, me and, uh, me and my ex-girlfriend were going to this, uh, what you would call it. We're going to Caruso's down in Santa Barbara. It's just like nice kind of restaurant.

And, uh, I walk up. I was like, hey, a reservation for Tristan Thompson, right? And I just remember she just, the hostess looks at me and just like the fear in her eyes. Like her heart just dry. She's, uh, one second, please. And then she radios in, like walks away a few steps, radios in. Did you know what was going down at this point? I kind of was like, yeah, yeah.

And then like, too, I see, I see, I see people flying out the back of the restaurant to, like, move like, like, just like, just like this one table that was in, like, the dead center of this place. She thought he's going to be there with, like, Chloe Kardashian. And so, like, I see people just, like, flying around moving. But I just remember sitting there. We're both just, like, laughing about. it and they're just like ah yeah you know it's a little surprise and you see like this little california white yeah it's gonna be 20 minutes actually now that's actually uh sorry we're all full um knew you had a reservation but yeah no no no chance but yeah back to jp's question sweet dreams

was that your first like big project that you got to work on and be a part of so the first big project i had gotten to work on was this uh movie called deltopia which deltopia is that this party at UC Santa Barbara that I think still happens. But I think in like 2011, the directors went there. And there's like this huge like Project X type of like SWAT team was involved. Like college kids like just like throwing beers at the police and shit. And there's like clips of it on YouTube where you like see it. And it's like it's like still like filmed on like an LG chocolate or some shit dude. Great phone. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. Shout out to LG chocolates. But

And that was the first monologue I had where that was like in like a SAG project and having like the craziest thing. I think that as like if you're like talking about like the acting experience is like I'm sure being behind production is just how fucking quiet it is. Like I was sitting there and I was like, okay cool. Like I've got all my lines memorized. We're good. And then it is fucking dead silent. There's like 60 extras because it's a big party scene. I'm working with like these two like bigger like Netflix like girls that are in the car and I met them earlier and they're super sweet.

But like my the director, Mikey, just the absolute homie because that's me's like, hey, so just messing with you. But you're ready for the biggest moment of your life? And I was like, yeah, I'm going to go vomit behind this tree real quick. Yeah. For real. That has to be so nerve-wracking. I mean, like, I don't know if you know, but J.P. is an actor himself. Yeah, I had a monologue.

monologue that was like four words long but you know 30 takes probably different coverage here different coverage there you're different coverage there you want to give them the line my cousin's good at math hits every time that's all a national television

hopefully your agent or you know a director may be watching that's just that that was first try we you'll you can see it I swear you'll notice it probably before you leave Nashville you might see me if you're watching TV bus in we had a fanduel commercial that's on all national like sports channels and jp they're basically just trying to figure out how to cook up a parley yeah it's a space and jp delivered it man i was nervous i was also an extra in a taraja p henson movie only my hairline

was in it it was what men want it was dinner scene and the reason my face wasn't in it is because i actually messed up and i was supposed to get up go to the bathroom whatever and come back in and I got up and I'm standing next to, you know, I don't know all the terms of everybody behind the scenes, but I'm standing next to one of them. And he just looks over. He goes, why are you still standing here? I was like, he's like, bro.

I was like, do I go now? He's like, no, just wait. And he was like, if it would have been in there, you would have seen your face in the movie. Just walked by? I know. Oh, how long was your, like, day on set, too, for a guy. Dude, all day.

Just like 10 to 12 hours. And I just, and in college, I was doing this thing called Who's That Hairline where I take a photo of people's hairlines and put on my Snapchat. I'm like, who's that hairline? Bring that back, dude. And so my hairline was in the movie.

So I was kind of my final episode. Enough about me. No, no, no. I love hearing about it. I think it's to add to like what the theme of what we were talking about earlier is that like you kind of get in there and it's a marathon, right? Like you're, you've got your mark and you've got all, a lot of these smaller roles. You've got like 10 day or like, not 10, you're like six hours like or worst case.

10 hours like you're on set you're there and then you've got like 30 seconds you got like 30 seconds to just absolutely do whatever you need to do to just crush it keep it going and yeah and then you just sit there and you're like do you know feel like i'm fucking i've been in like a library in college all fucking day and you're like i'm fucking zonky and then you get up there you're like what was i supposed to again dude that's what i was what to say is like waiting that long does it make it worse Do you start doing the whole like I'm prepared. Oh crap. I can't remember what I was going to say.

Okay, I got it again. How much time do I have? You still got a couple hours. Okay. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Pacing around or are you kind of like, what are you doing during those long days? Like, are you truly just chilling in your trailer? Yeah.

Sometimes I think it depends on I saw this. I was watching this actors roundtable where I think it was like Shile Buff and like a few other like Adam driver. And they're all just talking about the homework that you have to do before it and how well prepared you are. Because I think it's like in any like fun-ish like chill work setting and it's always kind of a little bit like camp, right? It's really easy to just be like instead of having like a it's really easy just to like fuck around on set. You know what I mean? You can go talk to whoever you want or like you can just kind of like if you're making friends and stuff. It feels like you're at summer camp sometimes.

but back to what shy said he's like it's just all about the homework and you have to come in like depending on how much time you've had to prepare and like how many like hours you've put into this character and then that's when you're able to like deliver something great while also still kind of like hanging out on set having those like long times where you're just like sitting either in your trailer or like walking around and being able to do that is just like in the fucking homework before all the prep that you do. So that way, like, you're not sitting there and just being like, uh, the fuck's going on again.

Yeah. Like, it's just your time to shoot. Did you have a stand in? Um, I'm trying to remember. I was just geek because I don't like, when I showed up to the thing, I have no idea how any of making a movie goes. And I'm just seeing these people that are paid to just sit in the seats of the main actors.

And I'm like, yeah. Well, this, y'all do this all day. You're getting higher rate than me. Wait, so like, what is their job? like literally just keeping the seat warm it's like they're just around the same height same size so they can get all the camera shots right oh it's like it's like gotcha like just like framing right they're keeping the stars like as just like as disconnected make sure they have as little work to do as possible when they show up yeah it's like it's like it's like a union thing as well where like you have

to like you have like stand-ins on the call sheet and like you'll see there like name is next to it and you're just like damn that's wild and yeah no i remember i i uh i uh i uh i uh I, where did I have a stand-in? Just look at him. Yeah, we had a stand-in. Yeah, that's cool. I remember. But, like, he didn't, like, look like me or anything.

Because I feel like, I've been in the more, like, still grateful and, like, moderate, low-budget, like, indie film scenes that have, like, done well and been able to be on, like, different streaming platforms and stuff. And so, but, yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll have a stand-in coming in. And sometimes it's someone who's also, like, doing something else, then also, like, doing something else than also kind of wearing that stand-in hat on the call sheet, too. Just a couple different hats. Go ahead, bitch. I was going to go back to like the beginning. That's what I was about to do. Yeah.

How did you get into acting? Were you like a theater kid in high school? Like what made you want to be like, okay, I want to do that. Obviously everybody wants to be a movie star. Everybody wants to be Tom Cruise and everything. Yeah, yeah, right. You're like sitting there watching like The Departed when you're like 11 years old. Right?

And you're sitting there and you're like, Leo, dude. How do you keep doing this? Why are you so cool? You're banging Mark Wahlberg's wife. Is it mad? Yeah. And so I think like how I got started, man, was there's this girl in my class who had an acting coach in Houston. And I grew up in Beaumont, Texas, which is about an hour and a half from Houston.

You know David Reese? David Reese. Yeah. Yeah, I know David Reese. Yeah. I know him from college. Yeah, that's like, dude, David. Yeah, David is my cousin.

No way. Yeah, yeah. Shout out you, David. Absolutely. Shout out of you. Yeah, distant cousin, like our great, great grandma. as our great grandmothers are related and we like found that out in high school and so yeah i was davos year below me his older brother william rase shout out to the reese absolutely jordan ruse

their dad love you guys 100% yeah yeah no trsson lehs shirms wife yeah and like talking to coop texas is they are plugged in right but yeah no idea yeah the reeds acting coach oh yeah yeah that's i love that though absolutely so So, yeah, so I saw my brother do this drama class, and he started going this coach in Houston. And I saw him, like, go to, like, he was in a drama class in high school. And this sounds about, like, fifth grade. And I saw him do this, like, really emotional scene with this other girl in front of, like,

like, 40 people. It was, like, an interesting thing where they had, like, a, I'm trying to remember what the proper name for it is. It's, like, taps, drama. And, like, they do, like, a scene where they're, like, a couple of people. fighting and like they're like playing pretend and stuff and um but I was like I started going to this coach in Houston after I saw that because like damn I saw my brother do that looks dope as fuck that's awesome so I started going to this coach and then she pointed me to another coach like

out in Los Angeles and my cousins my aunt and uncle lived in San Diego so on the summers I would go out with this other coach in Los Angeles but I kind of got made fun of when I did theater and I was in like fifth grade I was like now everyone was like the fuck are you doing Like, remember, you know, Beaumont, Texas, man. Yeah, dude. Trying to whoop your ass. And I was just, yeah, literally. You can say that on the show.

No, yeah, literally, like, yeah, 100. Dude, calling you, like, just like, just like, fuck. You're like, dude, that's fucking so lame. Like, why the fuck are you in theater? Like, and I was, like, in this play Aladdin. And I was just like, I don't know that dude is fucking fun, dude. Also, also this girl I have a crush on Zend dinner, too. I was like.

Trying to see the world. Yeah, 100%, right? I was like, I can. Show me the world, please, in fifth grade. No, and so, yeah, I started going to classes with her. Her name's Mary Ferguson. She's just this amazing coach that really believes in me. But then I kind of like started going through phases where I was like, no, I'm getting really better at tennis.

And I'm going to spend all my time playing tennis. And then I started playing soccer with all the homies. And I was just like, because my coach was like, you need to move to Los Angeles. Like right now, like you can take this as far as you want. And I was like, yeah, but I don't know. What about what about the boys? What about, yeah, exactly. What about state?

What about soccer? What about smoking weed and hanging out with my friends? You know what I mean? And I was like, I love my friends so much. It's like literally my wallpaper on my phone is like my fucking childhood friends. I mean, I'm fucking I love these boys. And shout out Zach Hester, shout out Zach Hester, Willhawn, Sean Reed.

I love you. And, but yeah, so I think like, I started going when I was going to these classes and then I got like swept up at like UT just like party and almost flunking out. He means Texas by the way. Oh University of Texas that hook him maybe. Yeah and then it took me like a long time to admit to myself what I wanted to do and I think that that's a lot of people in this life where you have like I remember Steve Jobs

said this thing that he's like dreams come and whispers right and like they don't don't come loud, like they come in the back of your head and like just always in the back of my head. I'd be like sitting just like watching something and just being like, ah, and I feel like I just, if I don't do this, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. And so my sister and I, when I was just an absolute idiot freshman year, she helped me figure out just some ways and like some like programs to volunteer for. Then I started working at Austin Film Festival just to like boost up the resume got into the UT film school and was on like more of the behind the camera stuff and yeah that's sick that's yeah man i feel like that is definitely you said it i mean that's the

hardest part is putting aside like the your friends being like come on dude we don't do that it's like yeah but like i kind of really want to do that and try it because it looks fun yeah yeah in the day like it's fun yeah 100% i think like all all like a lot of careers and you know whether it's any industry whether it's art or anything. I've like kind of recently come to this like new conclusion and I'm sure everyone does. But it's like you just like enter a flow state, right? Like whether you're like an accountant who's just a wizard at numbers. And like it's just it's finding something that like you feel that you're really great at.

You believe in yourself. And you're able to hit that flow state. And that's where I feel like most at home is in that like zone and that flow state with acting and like being inside of a character and like taking like my imagination. and like trying to make it run into this other level of this other thing. For sure. That's cool. Anyways.

I also want to go to while I'm taking this photo. As you get deeper into the conversation, I'm just going to keep wearing just more ridiculous shit. Is there a moment? Like, I don't know. I did a couple of small time plays in elementary school. Let's hear it. Let's hear it.

experience, but at what point do you kind of find a confidence in yourself to be like, I can read. You know, I can read these lines and like I can, I can believe myself that I'm portraying said character because I feel like it's hard, whether it's your ego or like, you know, the limitations of your own self, or your self-conscious, just behavior. We're like, I don't know. Does that make sense? Like, what point did you start believing that you're like, I could actually make a living out of this?

I think like I think there is a point where so throughout like this time of acting you know I'm in classes with some like amazing coaches like Joshua Labar and Deborah Dion and Hadley Dion who like I've like just like taught me so many things about what you need to do of like what going inside is and like going inside your head and being able to like I don't have you all seen Westworld, you know, and they like cut the brain open. You like see the maze and you're just like, holy shit. I kind of think about it like that a little bit. Like you're like, okay, like how can I like maneuver through this maze?

And then in a couple classes, you like feel progress. You know, like you're in the gym, like shooting threes and shit. And like you're not making, you know, like five out of ten anymore. You're making like eight out of ten. And then you're making like nine out of ten. Not saying fucking, you know, Kobe or anything. I'm still trying to learn. Not saying I'm Tristan Thompson or anything.

But you start feeling from everywhere. When you're like really taking it seriously and you're in these classes and you're like putting in this work and you're writing like just like a fucking psychopath writing like three pages of just like notes just all about what this character does and like who he is and how they feel what they smell. Like I always make a playlist listening to like what I think they would listen to. like this last movie I play this character Sean who's just like only is just like this very high energy frat kid and he only listens to just like B.O.B. and 3-6 mafia. And but and so like getting into like where you like really believe in yourself is in like a couple of those classes and shit and like a couple of the times that you like reach another bar where you get to like. like play there's this moment on this movie pray i did and uh it's just on hangaloo if anyone wants to watch it oh yeah yeah this movie pray i got to work alongside with the legend emil hirsch and um him and i like have this scene where i take a gun from him and him and i like were just like it's just like a

very dramatic scene i'm like screaming and like crying we're trapped in the desert for like 30 days or whatever and I remember like from the classes you're like activating this like feeling it's just like this feeling inside your head where you just like kind of like walk away and then you're like you're done with the scene everyone's like kind of like takes a break because it's like really intense

and uh hey it's us the Jonas brothers and guess what we have some big news what's the news news news news we created our own podcast called hey Jonas we invented a podcast well we didn't invent it We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Oh, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing.

a bit for the podcast where people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title

for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

And I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs. And on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now.

And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. I just went and sat down and I remember this like this PA on set came up to me and he just goes, hey, what was your name again? And I was like, hey, Tristan Thompson.

And I was like, yo, Tristan, man. Like I'm still just like kind of crying and like shaking. And he's like, how did you get into this? I just want to let you know. Like that was like really amazing. And it was just like this random kid that told me that. And I remember being like, yo, thank you so much. Like that fought one.

that means the world. Two, I was like, damn, like, fuck, I, I've been training for this for like a month. And you, like, feel kind of like that you, like, left it out there on the field. Yeah, that validation. Yeah. But then you don't even get to see, like, the work later until, like, a year. And I don't even love watching myself. But, like, once you know that, like, you hit that feeling in that flow state and you, like,

did everything that you could do for the character. You're just like, all right. Like, fucking. Yeah. I think I think we can make this happen. I'm sure in that process, too. and you kind of like alluded to it. But when you do set your mind to like,

all right, I want to try and do this. And the more you're around like minded people, that kind of help you get to that point or help you with practice those skills and those talents and like lock in, be able to get into character. Like you said, like staying in that flow state and staying surrounded by those people just help.

And so I feel like what you're saying by doing the classes, living in LA, like you fully are like doing everything possible to put yourself in the world of, what you're wanting to do. 100%. And I think to add on and to piggyback, like being around those like-minded people, making sure, you know,

everyone in the circle is just like kind of on the same track. I'll just never forget looking at Emil and shout out to fucking Emil. Just like, because when you're doing, you're changing your coverage, like usually the other actor doesn't really have to like be there. You can just like someone can like read with you or like give you throwaway lines. And like sometimes you're looking at like a fucking piece of tape just like right there.

And, but he was just giving me everything, dude. Like, he was just on the other side, like, screaming with me, matching the energy, like, lifting me up. And he was just like, let's fucking go. And that was just something that also, like, you know, like, I think, uh, the beautiful part about life is that, like, you bring shit out of each other. You know, you bring like the best out of each other. And that was, was so dope.

Yeah, that's cool. Um, for sweet dreams, uh, what, like, what's the process like for that movie specifically, I guess, when it's like, okay, do you get scripts sent to you? Like, how does the process go where you're like, okay, this job's available? I want to audition for this. Yeah, right? And so I'm very fortunate to like be connected with just like a group of producers to have like kind of like kept me just like around. There was like this dude who just kind of hit me with an email and was like, hey, there's this part, you know, like I want to know if you like want to do this like little read for it. It's like, and basically the part is just like, you're playing on this baseball team.

There's like a few lines here and there. And especially in like the indie world, I feel like everything's very like everything's happening day of. And like you get a script, you read the script, you know, you audition for the role. And then like you get your sides the day before. And it could be like different scenes from the different script as like, because it's just like everything's so malleable in that way. But after I like got the news, I was like, oh, baseball? Yeah, for sure. I played fucking or select baseball growing up and like travel ball like all day. Baseball league in Pasadena on Sundays. Dude,

go DMT Tigers, baby. That's what you is. Dude. Yeah. DMT Tigers. And, but yeah.

And so, man, Bo Mitchell was in that movie. He's one of like an amazing actor and human being. He was in this movie called The Line on Hulu, which was an incredible film with, uh, Alex or Nat Wolf,

one of those guys. and um but he's also the blonde-haired kid and eastbound and down and uh just what's up no you're good you're good you know that first scene where danny mcbride goes uh they're talking about oh you named your daughter rose and he was wouldn't name this kid shrek and it's blonde hair kid yes yeah yeah that's beau that's bow and um man like i learned a lot about just like come your fires i learned so much just about like comedic I mean, because you're like, it's like there's, you know, you're working with these superstars, right? And like these guys are just like, they don't turn it off, man. Like they're just, it's just so natural.

And I know y'all have all met like, you know, just a lot of those guys in the hemisphere and the same dudes too. And that like, and you're sitting there and like someone will like make a joke at you like in character. And then I remember just being like, yeah, and your mom's fucking fat. And then I was like, fuck, I'm like 20 seconds too late. and um no and so it helped me learn so much more about comedy and just shit like that where like you're like want it's like giving yourself permission to like have fun and like being able to like have that banter and have that like timing and shit that's awesome got ass just like johnny knoxville you know dude johnny you're the man so um on our team uh johnny like you know everyone's like kind of

warming up throwing the ball around and uh johnny just always walk up and be like k t let's go throw the ball and it'd be like fuck hell yes dude that's so and uh and so catch with johnny knoxford yeah dude so we just like go down the line like pass first base while all the cameras getting set up and we're all on set and uh dude we just throw the ball and hang out and just talk about like we just talked about high school baseball and just playing high school baseball and like what and like because he was a pitcher and played a lot of baseball growing up. And we were just talking about, like, just like the different games that we remembered. I remember I was like, yeah, like when we played this school in Houston where Craig Biggio's son was playing.

And I'll never forget, this dude was just throwing fucking nasty curveballs. And we were just exchanging stories like that. That's who had the better stories. Who was the better player? Dude, Johnny. Johnny was kind of a beast. Johnny was a beast. But actually, going back to the acting thing of like what it was like to,

prepare for certain roles. I just watching Johnny because he had a lot of emotional scenes and in the movie he crushes it and he goes deeper into like he just starts walking around. He's got headphones in and he's just like doing his pace and he said he was in like a competition with his wife to like who can get the most steps on like their Fitbit or an Apple Watch or whatever. And but like before emotional scenes, he just like he just goes. take like 20 minutes and just like just lock into whatever he was listening to and just kind of like

go be in his own zone and because going back to like how sets like a camp right you can just it's so easy but like you have to when you have something intense and emotional like I think in the film he he's trying to get like custody back of his daughter and he uh like and it's like a very intense moment like that where he sees her at this baseball game and uh he has to to like and so he's just walking off house in there and i was like yeah that's how you that's how you do it yeah yeah you got to go just go be in your own little world for a little bit like like like because it's like uh otherwise you're a child actor that just can just snap into character like that but yeah but john is the man on movies like for instance right here does it help her

or does it even matter if you play like have previous experience in baseball like for actor like there's got to be actors who are like throwing some some poor throws maybe But does it help your chances getting roles in that? Or is it more just like, oh, nice. I like baseball. This is cool. Yeah, yeah. I think it's, I think the vetting process, like determining on how big the film is, is always interesting.

I think there's like, so I think the casting directors, right? We'll find like a lot of our team were extras. And then me and Bo and this other girl, Kelly, shout out Kelly. She let me use her softball glove. Love you. And a lot of these cast and directors are just like, hey, do you have any experience? You do? Great.

All right. And then, like, you look great for the part. You're in. And at least as extras go. And, but, like, the vetting process is more just kind of, like, over email and be like, what's your experience? That's your experience? All right, cool.

Like, we're trying to, they have, like, so much other stuff to worry about. And just, like, hope that you come to set, correct. They use it for a ball. Yeah. I mean, I'm watching Friday Night Lights right now. And, like, the actor that. that plays Matt Sarison cannot throw a football, especially for the Dylan Panthers.

It's like what is happening right now. So I'm like, Mitch is piss and he knows the outcome. Yeah, it's like this, you're telling me this guy just threw a ball 70 yards and he throws it like that. Yeah, my ass, dude.

So like, that is a great question because I'm like, some of these people, like they're not athletic at all. And like they got these jobs. But like there's so much other shit that they're worried about then. Yeah, 100%.

And then like they kind of have to come up there and like, I'm sure like putting on like a director's hat, you have to be like, cool cool cool well we're here on set and money is burning so how can we work around this shit like and but like yeah man that's like the part of that's like the part of it that's when you see a lot of close-ups yeah true but uh no there's this one moment in the in the movie i remember i called my old baseball coach uh shout at jimmy neal and um i was talking to him about it and uh johnny i'm

giving them a slow pitch but like warming up for the role i'm like in my room of I've got like a stuffed like Pokemon ball. I'm just like throwing it at the wall, dude, just practicing the form. And, but it turns out to be slow pitch. So you got to throw that shit up in the air. And, uh, but Johnny just fucking, I, it's a line drive, like, just like 60 miles an hour right at my head. And I just, I duck.

And I duck and I was like, that was the coolest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I was like, I just ducked that shit. And I called my baseball coach. He goes, nah, that's, he goes, would have been way cooler if you caught it. But the worst part about it is, I remember the director came out. He's like, hey, he was like, cameras weren't rolling. And then, like, someone just got chewed out. Oh, I know.

It's tough. How often does that happen? Yeah, what is, like, the shooting out process? Like, how does that? Have you been real, you know, I would, I would never, like, whenever, like, like, like, someone, like got chewed out. It's more just being like, hey, so, let's lock it in. Let's make sure we get that next on.

It's not like, what the. Yeah, I think, like, with different. it's like especially like I'm you know I think it's more about how like you like treat people like I think everyone there it's like long days everyone wants to be treated fine and then if like you make a few mistakes here and there it's not like that viral tom cruise club during COVID when it was just like these are people's jobs you might have missed an audition opportunity he might have hit that ball back as you to see if you could be in jackass yeah I know right just like absolutely just take one dude Just the job.

Did he start, this is like a, right. Apollo Creed. A minor question in the giant Knoxville world. Did he just immediately start calling you tea? Or did it work from Tristan to tea? I think it just worked. Like, I think it's just, I don't even remember. It was a long time ago, too.

And so I think, I think it's like, we had like one, we had a scene together where him and I are talking to each other. And then, yeah, it was cool, man. And like we met like we did the blocking met each other at like 6 a.m. And then like go back. Earth's lines come back out, rip it. And, uh, but no, he was an absolute homie. Like usually like I was saying early, you don't have to stand there for lines.

Like, and someone else can feed him to you. But no, he was there just holding it down. And, uh, it's like when you're leading the movie too, you know, you want to like help everyone out that you can. For sure. Because it was his, it's his, it's his project, right? Yeah. So it's, uh, uh, uh, Lige Sarky is, uh, director and like very involved and the like sober community like out there in Los

Angeles and so all these comedians are like living in sober home and so John is yeah yeah yeah and so they're all in rehab right and like you know trying to get their lives together and whatnot and all just some like wacky funny characters there are some funny moments in that house with them I mean like the group of people they picked for that movie is so funny No, absolutely, man. It's just like a fucking blasting to work with all those guys. That's cool.

It was dope. I was going to say you were here last week running lines. You don't have to say what's for or whatever. But it was pretty cool to walk in over there and just see you locked in. You even gave me like a cool if we catch up after I do this. And I was like, oh, my guy is locked in right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, yeah, no problem.

I like got nervous to like make eye contact. I was like, stay in there. Stay in there. I went over and said that. And he's like, hey, just for context, I'm about to lock in. It's going to be super dark real quick. Like, I'm like, I'm going to, I'm going to head out. I'm going to let you do your thing.

It's so hype. I was like, dude, it is so nice to meet you. I was like, however, I was like, if you like see me just like, I'm like, I, because I'm playing like just like a kid that, I actually can't even really talk about it. Playing like a really sad kid. And that's just like been through a lot. And it just, it's like really just like dark and like cold. And it's like so funny being on the set.

over there while like looking around and like still trying to like be in that moment with like different distractions around yeah there's nothing serious emotion detector thing we'll throw a con or a reference order in here uh we could not find the iPhone mount i made the crazy that's why you asked jimmy rigged it was five boxes stacked on a ladder with fucking it's amazing what a little like thumb tacks a little thumb tax like 10 across and 10 back to keep the ipons set up on this box And it was working for a minute And I'm reading the lines back to Tristan And then on like I don't know

Probably like 30 45 minutes in You can just I can just see the phone Just slowly going And I finally we found it But I'm like I'm fucking his process up The whole time You're costing him the role And then like you look behind

It's like Fandle bloodline Like Halloween goblin Like he handled like a true professional Yeah I've done way worse for less That is shocking too because you were saying that some people will tell you just just film it on an iPhone like don't

I was ready to take the time 30s I was like oh do come to the studio and he's like yeah we just need to start on an iPhone it says like specifically for an iPhone and I was like man fuck this yeah we don't have the iPhone mount we'll put in it right now on on some of the websites that you submit your audition for that like your agent

shoots you through then like the format of it can be a little messed up or it won't be compatible and so usually typically casting like a direct to ask for like if they want it specifically like on an iPhone they'll say it but usually if you go to like a recording studio

you know some shit like this or fucking like a Canon 60 or whatever and like shooting it yeah yeah that's crazy did you ever want to like have aspirations to do other things outside of acting like was like I know that you've had other ventures

but I guess like what did you want to do if it wasn't acting Yeah, you know, I think like I worked in like, I was always say like when you're like, I worked in fashion for a while. Shout only caviar. Yeah, shout only caviar. And I think like for that for a long time was I was like, damn, if I could like just keep designing merch for different artists. And that was something I really, really enjoyed was design like going into like someone's head, right? Like you see. who's a big good example like I'm just thinking of different artists I fuck with right now like Kenny Mason he's just like this dope rapper from Atlanta and he like blends like alternative rock and he blends rap as well and he does it really well and just like designing artist for designing merchandise for like different artists and then I think we're talking

about the the dad podcast hat right where it's like so statement that that lives on its own and that was always something that I absolutely loved doing and would love to go back to one day but other than that i don't know like fucking just being creative feel like just like yeah 100% just being able to like be at liberty to create with friends and different people around that like just inspire you and whatever industry that are like fucking i don't know dude sometimes i feel like i take an out of all and i'm like fuck dude i would just kill it and selling it selling insurance or some shit dude dude probably bro yeah what uh when did you move to l a i moved to los angeles 20 20 august 20 20 during covid yeah my mom i was supposed to move in march but my mom got

really sick she's good now she's great living amazing life but yeah she had stage three cancer during covid or stage two ovarian cancer and uh she was very sick and like during the COVID times, you're just like, no one knows what the fuck's going on, you know. And so my sister came back to Austin. Her and I were, like, living together to, like, quarantine and go back down on the weekends this year and everything. But that pushed my whole L.A. trip back. And, like, my L.A. moved to L.A.

I've been waiting since, like, fifth grade to roll. And, um, they're all out there. And, yeah, but that time was, like, I think really grounded me before going out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's something that, like, you know now about living out there that you wish you knew? Oh, shit, dude. That's a great question. I think, like, just like what every song always talks about. And, like, every, you just hear, like, all that glitters ain't gold. You know what I mean?

Like, there's, there's so many, it's so fly by night, I think, in Los Angeles and in New York where, like, it's, there's just so many. It's, what's the right word to say? It's like fast coming from where I come from and just like the way that people talk promises that never happened. Like money this, money that. But it's like, I think my biggest thing is like take everything that everyone says with the grain of salt. Because like unless they're operating at like a certain level that is verified, valid that you know, then it's just like, yeah, don't, don't chase that dragon. Yeah, makes sense for sure. Definitely.

What about a dream, dream scenario, dream world co-star? Oh, dude. I think if I could work with Jake Gyllenhaal, and I think I watched Donnie Darko for the first time. I know like it's Halloween, so, and I was watching these Donnie Darko memes, whereas like it's like the film bro that just wants to tell is like fucking like Raya crush all about Donnie Darko and you're just like, you're like, Jesus, dude.

It's like, you just get high once and all you can talk about is Donny Darko. But I watched that film at my brothers had a sleepover and I like hid behind a bunch of these stuffed animals where I was like covered in them, playing on my Nintendo DS for like. Hey, it's us, the Jonas brothers and guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast. Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to...

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I'll let you set it up I can't sing either We might have to do this Yeah, have you seen that Are you on TikTok? Yeah, a little bit I kind of gave it up Like over there

Sometimes I think I reached like a point Like last year Where I was like Let's just have one feed to look at right now Just so I don't like Just like have a psychotic break What was your feed of choice? uh,

Instagram right now. Real started getting better TikTok's algorithm. I remember like, 2024 was like, I was like, I don't even know what's going on anymore. They just added the shop. Low key hits.

Real. Of the last six months. It started going on there yet. I haven't gotten. There's no ads like TikTok. There's an ad every four swath. Oh, the ads be hitting though.

Yeah. What kind of ads are we talking about? We're talking about all the, all the ads I have are just TikTok shop ones and it's like, magic tricks and it's like, right now it's the, smoke that you rub on your hands i've seen those yeah yeah i've seen that i want that but this trend with that we were talking about is basically a bunch of corporate people are setting up their phone

and they're like seeing if i have a hidden talent so i can quit my day job word word and then you start hearing stay with me play and they just try to karaoke it and obviously barely anybody can sing and we bring it up and miss is like i've been told i can sing and we're kind of waiting to do the trend so i didn't know i mean to decide if mitch can sing no i mean i'm down to do it. It's just whether or not A cappella. I'm not doing it right now.

Hey on the spot it's tough. You know? Yeah. On the spot's tough. I think I got to go locking. I think you got to hit the shower like rub one out in the zone and then just be like. So won't you?

In the shower. In the shower I can sing anything. Yeah. You need that you need the post nut heartbreak to where you're just like, where you're just like, you're sitting there. you're just like, damn. I guess it is true. I'm not good at a one-night-thin.

I'm a piece of shit, and you're never going to stay with me. I was going to ask what your process is. I guess that might be it. That Johnny drama process. Yeah. Yeah. Rub one out in the trailer. It's just like,

Auga. Yeah. That was one of the best episodes. I feel like this is not a fair question to anyone, whether you're an actor, a count, whatever. What is your favorite movie? Oh, man. And you can give us multiple examples, and it can be Donnie Darko.

Would the question to the accountant be, what's your favorite book? Like, what's your favorite number? What's your favorite number? God, and please just say like, say like some weird Fibonacci sequence. You can wait to the end because I feel like we're transitioning. Last week we had a good conversation on worst main characters in TV and movie. Was it main characters? Yeah.

Do you want to give them some examples? There was. Frodo back. in TV or Elijah Wood? Yes. You think he's a bad photo? No, not a bad actor. Just the character.

Oh, the character. Yeah, yeah. The actor. Oh, like that character pisses me off. Oh, right. Oh, dude. Yeah, absolutely. Jesus Christ.

When, like, when like he's just not listening to Sam and just like, Golan is just fucking just on his ass, dude, like constantly. Exactly. Everything but helping. When they're climbing up, like, part of Mountain Doom and shit, and they're just like on the side. you're just like seeing like smegles still fucking schmigling around and she's like and like in like some just leave him be and yeah what are you talking about i saw one in the con somebody commented

so i forget who it was shout out whoever you did whoever you are aria stark from game of thrones she's not necessarily the main character is she the mini face god like that's ori the younger one oh yeah oh yeah damn i fuck i loved her sure great she was great move she was very very tough. Her story arc was just so weird. And like I didn't like when she went to the, uh, I don't watch show,

I feel like a lot of people like her. I like her a lot. I don't think she was a badass, but she can be very frustrating, I think. Yeah, she just kind of beats her own drum and she's young and, but like just the,

her story arc is what kind of annoyed me. Like when she goes like the tomb of or the. The temple of the faces. Yeah, temple of no face. Yeah. Like that whole thing. Like I didn't necessarily like.

I kind of wish it had more attention. I didn't really like. thing. I didn't really like that. Whatever that guy was. Who was the Ming Face God? Yeah. I think that, I think it's a, I wish they touched up on it.

So it'd be more like fleshed out because like are like just being like a young like little girl and this like insane and Westeros and like the most crazy world and like somehow just like skate by the fucking like skin of your teeth every single way. way you go. Hound. The hound. Yeah. The one bastard son.

Yeah. No, absolutely. Barathean. Barathean son. Bastard son. And like the I like and then in season eight like it kind of comes like the. Yeah.

She comes back. She comes back and like she used the powers or whatever you said. Yeah. I wish they had like a little bit more of a. Because it's like not that much. like magic that's like touched on you know they're not like shooting fireballs like wizard style and shit like the most they do is in like season two when calisi goes to like that warlock temple when they take her dragons and shit and um but i wish they touch more upon it of like the technicality

rather than being like yeah she cuts these like walter frays like face off and then she just can wear it like a mask because she spent this time in this temple doing whatever how that works and like working on these bodies i guess and i wish they like touched upon like a little bit more of like there's a little bit more of a magic rather than just kind of like a cut explanation. Yeah. She can do this now. Yeah. This girl's gone full Hannibal Lecter. She's wearing her. She's gone full Hannibal. She's going full Hannibal. She's wearing faces. You have like a least favorite main character. He hates. Let's rip it. Yeah. I'm thinking about my right. They've already talked about this one, but it's, it is Grandpa Joe. And if you guys ever get a chance on YouTube,

there's a four minute rant by Jim Rome on Grandpa Joe. It is one of the funniest things you'll ever here in your life. The original Charlie in the Chalka Factory was my favorite movie growing up, and I can never fucking watch that movie after listening to that. Because Grandpa Joe is the biggest piece of shit in the world. He gives this kid alcohol. Augustus, he goes, he's going to drink the whole river, and Augustus drowns in it. You know, he sits in the bed all day, and then Charlie comes home with a gold ticket

while grandma's working triple shifts at the laundromat. Piece of shit. Get it. How you living, man? How you living, man? Yeah, dude. It's heinous. on a positive note

do we want to do best characters or should we save it I mean if like you kind of need some thought or else I'm sitting here just kind of you know playing ping pong SpongeBob Goku Goku dude

Don't get me started on Dragon Ball Zee dude Don't even get me started I'm big an anime Don't even get me sorry I we got to talk after man because we don't want to just make this a full anime nerd out vibe But damn yo

I think like yes Dude like sometimes I'll be on the gym just like cracked off a fucking like Celsius or energy drink and I'll just be like YouTube, Goku, speeches 15 minutes long We have the same YouTube

You watch Attack on Titan obviously Yeah yeah yeah yeah Dude whenever I need to get like a quick hit of motivation I'll just do Commander Irwin speech Yeah dude or he's just like soldiers Yeah There's something about it and like these These voice actors too like

if you like watch them in the booth it's such an interesting craft in itself too where these guys are just like their inflections are insane and it's almost like and like the wisdom that some of them are spitting too is like has so many hidden gems you get it yeah dude it's like they're spitting bars dude like in uh what's uh god dude what's one of my favorite and what was the movie that just came out demon slayer do you see the movie yeah yeah i went by myself dude in theaters and saw that shit I have just one other anime friend in Nashville. We went. Yeah.

And it was. No, dude, it's electric. The animation is so good. JC? No, JC is an anime fan. But no, my friend Austin. That is so cool. Yeah, man, I'm all in.

I'm watching full metal alchemists right now. Don't even get me started on Edward, dude. Edward Alrick. So that's another one where they're just dropping fucking wisdom. Dude, full metal alchemist brotherhood. He's like sitting there. He's like, in this world, he's like, it's a law for me. Yeah, no, no, no, no, you're right.

No, you can share that. I'm just on the quote. I'm saying a quote. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He calls it the law of equivalent exchange, right? And it's kind of like a yin and yang, but he's like, in order to get something in this life, you have to be willing to sacrifice something. Of equal value.

Of equal value. Absolutely. And so I think that's like, I think in life not to get, actually, yeah, the shade stay on because we're getting sentimental. Let's go. My buddy, Aaron and I always have this saying, the world's got a funny way of knocking you down when you're feeling like you're on top. and I think that comes like with uh it's like not to like to not be grateful for when great things are

happening to you and be like oh shit when's this shit gonna fuck up again but it's like this mac miller lyric right it's like everybody's walking tall till they trip and that shit like is like something that like always resonates with me but that's like the part of the shit of the wisdom that they're just dropping in full metal where uh man yeah the law of equivalent exchange i'm I wouldn't get that tattooed on me actually. You can fuck with the logo. Dude, the logo is sick. Actually, I'm not to, like, just distract everything from too far.

What was the one that I started, Attack on Titan? Yeah. I think I got like seven or eight episodes in. Probably stopped, obviously stopped way too soon because it was getting hype. I think it's the, I want to watch it and have to read the subtitles. Yeah. Because I would watch it in the English version and it just wasn't the same. Do you watch it in?

It depends on the show. That's wild. Like you watch, yeah, you watch Black Clover. Yeah. So like I, that's,

I watch, anime, like friendships that get made just by saying the name of the show. But that's an example of, like, I watched that one in English

because Asta's Japanese voice is so annoying. His English voice is still annoying, but the Japanese one is even worse, so I'll watch it in English. I wish I could, I've got a couple, hummies here like I call them you know in the different worlds that we all live in there's

snobs everywhere but I my buddy's like an anime snob where he's just like damn you're not watching the subs dude dude I hate when people try to watch the subs dude does that mean like what subtitles like subtitle would be Japanese Japanese version word word word word word we're all learning yeah yeah no I got it's over my no truly whatever's best like Mitch don't we're gonna bring it back ring I'm gonna pull us out of this anime hole that we've just crawled into real quick soon, dude.

Yeah, what time do you go to bed? Last night, last night, pretty late, man. Last night, pretty late. But usually, like, during the week, like, if I try and, like, wait, I'm waking up and then doing what I've got on my plate. If it's, if it's, bro, dude, yo, dude, I'm doing math. I'm like, These are we kick them out.

And it's usually like something weird, just like something like black clover. Not weird. I'm sick. Yeah. I'm like, I'll do.

You for a while, bro, I would watch adventure time before I go to bed like religiously. Yeah. Religiously. And before I say that and I always tell people, because it's, like, I'll stay. like adventure time you mean that kids cartoon i'm like no you mean that fucking animated television series that's one over 33 fucking emmys sneaky bangers in there too sneaky bangers dude some real knowledge in that show i gotta get on some beautiful literature in there but yeah the reason we brought that up i go to bed at 930 8 30 8 30 i'm asleep by 9 30 i wish i was like you

so maybe Tristan can convince you to watch Lord of the Rings I mean it sounded dope and like listen I do want to watch it so how many minutes have you watched zero but I dude the NASCAR game just came out I've been ripping around with Dale McQueen just turning left I'm pumped you have a game because I've been playing skate a lot recently and just to rediscover a new game at the age of 30

and, like, truly fall in love with it, there's only so many more times in your life that that will happen again. And I'm living in it right now. Like, see if... It's sad because, like, I fell... I fall out of love with video games very easily in my old age.

I remember when you got the Harry Potter game, like you know, you were like, this was dope for, like, a month. Yeah, literally, it was probably like a month in a week. And after that, I think I uninstalled it because I was like, ah, I think it got warm outside. Like, I'm very, like, weather. depending video game player.

You can only play C of B for so long before it gets kind of boring. I think I played three games of this new one. I was like, nope, too slow. I was like, when this NASCAR game comes out, I'm going to spend $90 on it so I get to the 72 hour early access. Get all the skins

and everything. I used to work in NASCAR. That's why I'm a big NASCAR fan. Fuck, yeah. So it is, I have been ripping it and it is so far. Do you create a character? Ascar's all that. I create.

NASCAR skins, wow. Dude, who's your sponsors right now? Yeah. Right now, I think it's like there's some like fake brands. I'm still in the Arka Menard series. Word, where it's like. Be honest. I don't even know what that is.

It's good. It's interesting. I think that like I feel like the, I'm so happy we're talking about games now because I'd fucking, that's like just grown up in Beaumont. There's not a lot to do, man. So I played a lot of you games. And so, um,

he's got the Switch too. Yeah. Dude, me and my, me and my boy, Aaron, Aaron. Uh, fucking, we went and camped out at Best Buy. Camped out's crazy. We thought it was releasing. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers.

We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And, well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

I was like y'all made the right decision and having a chair. I camped out for Buffalo Wild Wings for like two days. That was hell on earth.

It was awful. For six free wings a week. They did the thing where it was like unlimited wings for a year in Nashville. And you go to any location. And so what they would do is, every hour they would come out and give you like, you know how it's like a mild like their stickers for their sausage? Wait, is it just six a week?

I think it was like. Six a week is crazy. It was only six. I thought it was like unlimited. Got to be six a day. I think it was six a day. It has to be six a day. Six a week is wild.

Like over the span of like 12 hours, you come out and you have to have X amount of stickers. So you had to stay there. And people were just getting like wasted out there. Oh yeah. We had like pink lemonade burnettes. And it was smacking it. It was cold as hell. It sucked, man.

Tens in the front lawn. But it was fun. I'm thinking back on it now. The wings place used to show love because in high school it was they did 25 cent or 50 cent wing night. And now you're lucky to get a dollar wing night. Shout out. Shout out. Shout out checks.

I'm pissed. I didn't hit that up. It was Sunday. I'm like, I think it was, it may have been Fow's birthday. No, we got wings for Fowles birthday.

It's a weekend after. Like, yo, Chex is doing one dollar wings. He's like, all right, bet. And then he, like,

left two or three hours later. Damn. And sometimes it be around. Sometimes it be around. Yeah. Yeah, so six a week or what, dude, I don't know.

We were on Burnett, I don't remember. Dude, but back to, back to finding just like, I think a video game that you love. I saw this meme the other day. I was like turning 30 is just,

turning 30 is just rediscovering everything you loved at like 13. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like especially like in our generation and like whatever the world is. We were just like, damn. So I just got like caught up in the entire like whatever the world wants me to be. What the fuck do I want again? And then you're like, damn, I just want to chill and put six wings a day. Dude, there's a there's a sonic game that was on GameCube.

I forget the name of it, but... Sonic Adventure Battle 2. Yes, bro. I've been looking for that high for a while, but I can't... I've found our video game. I can't find it. It's on Switch? No, I mean, I don't think so.

I haven't seen it since the GameCube. Hey, listen, so if you want, I'll drop some ball on you. It's backwards compatible on the Xbox Series X, and you can play that and re-download it and play that there. I did that during COVID. Yeah, so you can, like, it's on the Xbox store. They've got that one game that I know you're sure. talking about. That is incredible. Hey, we have Xbox. You can download it.

Yeah, for real. Oh, yeah, we do. Yeah, dude. It's awesome. I got a, my little cousin, a switch for, like, his birthday, like, three years ago. And now, like, every time the new Sonic movie comes out, I, like, will fly in and go fucking pick him up.

That's a little trip out of it and go I heard those are good. They're fucking gas. I mean, this is your cousin, you said, or nephew? Yeah, he's like, he's uh my he's like my uncle was like 17 years younger than my mom got you so he was like an older brother to us growing up shit it's like all the zeldas and shit and like basically like just paying it forward with my little cousin and uh yeah absolutely imagine your cousin is an actor he've got you your switch he flies back to go watch the sonic movie with you you're you're definitely his mount rushmore forever

dude that's my that's my dog dude that's my little blood i love that kid he's such a little ball of energy and then like he's like sitting there just like we're sitting there just in sonic you just sitting there and like you just never seen a kid just more fucking just like enveloped in a movie because that's like well you know like movies and like all that shit is it's like you go to the theater you're like in there shit's magical when you're a little kid and then like yeah just being able to like share that's fucking awesome that's so awesome dude yeah I'm trying to get to the theater this week I think yeah the movie I want to see it's so bad bro one battle at a time the amount of marketing they've done

done for this Tron movie this has to be the best movie of all time. They said that THX, is that what it is? The production. Yeah. Yeah. They said it's going to be the last installment of Tron ever. And they're like, Jared Letto did it again. Oh, put another one to rest.

But I'm going to see it with a complete open arms. And I know I'm going to love it because I love Tron so much. So I just want to go get lost in a theater. That first one was amazing. Absolutely, dude. And Tron Legacy is just. so, God, dude,

Toronto Legacy was so electric. Daft Punk's doing the soundtrack. Like, just every, like the bass, like every time you hear it. Dude, Jeff Bridges is in that bitch,

just holding it down. Absolutely. Just electric. I, uh, I got to actually, actually, I'm just fucking like main dropping.

No. Go ahead. No, no, we need the story. You got your cousin in. I do something for yourself. Talking, talking about.

So, so. No, I got to work with fucking Garrett Headlin, who starred in Tron Legacy. And Jordan Ross, the director of this film called The Tudor. And I had a small part in that where I played this kid getting tutored. And I had a scene with Garrett and him and I got to go rip some Sigs outside too and chill. But I played like this like 18 year old or like 16 year old, whatever, like 17 year old kid just getting tutored.

And he's like at this like insane mansion just like super being an absolute asshole to his tutor. but he's got like a katana he's like sitting there just playing with the katana and it's so funny because ever since i was a kid and like watching game of thrones growing up with uh and just like any lord the rings movie i just was like always like damn i'm obsessed with swords and i just had like four swords in my room and i would just like sit and just dream about being like an actor what's like playing with a sword and um so moral story is you got to watch fucking lord the rings and two uh no i got sort of garret and he's like one of the most it's tight on my biceps yeah the sword yeah i feel like that's every dude ever that's just obsessed with swords air gorn though with the sword legless

with the daggers dude somehow like i saw this thing that was like the the male the the masculine urge to just bleed out on a battlefield with the sword and your hand. Evolution era. Like, I feel like that's just programmed into you. Just be like John Snow

in that one. In the Battle of Bastards scene who just whips it out. I'm afraid that the young, like the current middle schoolers don't have that in them. They don't have that gene. They're soft.

The genome is, it's changed. Which means we have to have a sword fight. Which means we need, we need, we need Nerf to come back. Yeah. It's nerve or nothing.

And because like, I remember growing up, bro, we would, it's the title of this episode. It's nerve for nothing. It's a nerve for nothing. Nerf or nothing.

We would have like, we would just have Nerf wars, dude, like before paintball. You'd be like, I'd sleepover and like you got like all the homies there and just, yeah, dude. And then one kid, poor kid that just gets like shot way too close and it's just like, you're bullying me and you're like, grow up. No, dude. Everyone get better. It's the war, dude. Everyone's getting bullied, bro.

We're in the trenches right now, dude. We're in the trenches. My brother shot me in the eye one time. Like, it was like from far away. and he shot and I saw it and I started crying on purpose to try to get Nate in trouble and he never got in trouble.

Damn. I've been there. His little brother too, which is crazy. I would get in trouble for literally doing anything and Nate never got in trouble and like...

Why didn't you get out of the way of it if you saw it coming? I don't know. I don't remember. I saw it. I just took it. I might be mixing two stories here. Wait, Mitch.

Have you seen The Matrix? No. Uh... Oh. The first one way to dodge bullets. Yeah. I mean, talk about the show called that had on you as a kid of just trying every time. Yeah, right.

Dude, I re-watched those movies. I saw this, uh, I saw this, uh, I saw what was it? I saw this interview. I think Keanu Reeves was on like on some late night show like a year ago or something, but he talks about, um, when the metaverse was coming out. And he's just sitting there and like, I'm never, I don't think, like, it's so funny. like the parasycial relationships that we have with celebrities and shit like just being

just online or whatever but Keanu was just like he's like yeah we're calling it the the metaverse like there's a new matrix I just don't you think it's a little outdated and like just seeing him just be like clowning something kind of you're like damn Keanu if it's coming

from you dude like that one cuts deep I hope marks all that because that shit's real as fuck but um not dude i i remember rewatching the movie like last year and just sitting there and being like damn yeah we're fucked i need to rewatch i know i was just thinking the same thing whenever they're on tv i'll like watch for like 20 minutes or so resurrection was asked but i mean i still enjoyed it i never saw it it's not it's it's it's 11 it's exactly what you think it'd be it's probably the neutron i thought it was just like john wick six

from like what i saw oh hey we we love a question i like john wick question we love john wick dude question word john wick is going to ruin my day if it goes the wrong way or jason born one v1 one v1 who wins or like with a better movie one v1 the answer is the same like they fight or the oh yeah it's like the better the better win i got hold up ah dude i think i forget what side you're wrong i I just feel like... I feel like it's... That's what I'm on. I think John Wick...

Dude. I think Jason Bourne would... I don't know, because, like, I'm thinking about the strategies, right? I'm thinking about... I'm thinking about their strategies because I'm just like... Okay, like, Jason Bourne, obviously,

like, fucking full secret agent, everything else. And then John Wick, I feel like just, like, ex-Vet that's just like an absolute assassin. But Jason Bourne's just like... He's just like... Oh, my God, it's Jason Bourne. You know what I mean? I know that Jack loves John Wic.

get some sleep jack you look tired you can just fucking put the bullet in my head dude i didn't i didn't mean to take you out back and just old yellow you it's all good i like i love jason born movies too but yeah i've always just identified with john wick i think it's because i have a dog and like that was yeah dude anyone anyone ever try to hurt bonnie dude i feel you i feel you yeah this this was always set up for jp's with all the anime talk he didn't even know Tristan like tennis too

I know a lot of big things that have gone JP's way this episode before we get out of here y'all too need to make a bet for this week oh yeah thought one thing so I kind of did in the last like five minutes and just because one Tennessee is not one in 23 years in brian denny and the line I think we do what we did last year and loser wears the gear on the next episode yeah I mean that's like the easiest one yeah I just I don't feel confident I'm not

doing any shaved headbeds for like yeah i'm not doing mustache either if it was in neelan i would consider so maybe that's fair i feel like the easiest one to do yeah and like that one doesn't hurt as much as yeah like i always on the wrong end of this one though fill me in on the bed tennessee and al dail this we did the bet it was just like loser us to like deck out i just wear balls and i just gave like a ton of it it was the photo i have you look so you have to be you have to wear a wife beater to work the rest of the year that's the year rest of the year heading into winter. That's tough.

But like, I don't think about weather. I'm just thinking strictly fashion. Crop top, dude. For a week, it could work. Just full crop top. I feel like, yeah, that one's the easiest one to do.

I didn't put any thought into this. That's on me. We'll incorporate that. You got to just wear a wide feeder to work on Monday. And then you either choose to wear. And then you got to wear on the park. Yeah. To the end of the year.

The rest of the year this. You just have one here And then just put it off. What if it's like, yeah, that's hilarious, actually. That would be funny.
