Hey, what's up y'all? This is Eric Andre. Well, I made a podcast called Bombing about absolutely tanking on stage. I tell gnarly stories and I talk to friends about their worst moments of bombing in all sorts of ways. Bombing on stage, bombing in public, bombing in life. I want to know what's the worst way they ever bombed or have they ever performed way too drunk or high or was there ever a time where they thought they were going to crush and they stunk it up.

Testing the sound machine. Zach, I love you. You honor me. You honor me. You honor me. What you trying to get into a day or two? What you trying to do? Joelle, you look very cute. This, this like, this, you look like a Memoji of yourself. You know what you look like?

What I look like? You look, you look like Velma from Scooby-Doo. I'll take it, lesbian icon. Love me some Velma. Lesbian icon Velma from Scooby Doo. I'll take it, lesbian icon. Love me some Velma. Lesbian icon Velma? Yes, absolutely. Joelle, you should make your Memoji have this fit on with these glasses.

All right, I'm gonna work on tweaking it. Cause you know that I- All you gotta do is say, Jankies! I made a Memoji of Donald and I often use it in text conversations. it's not nice. It's not nice It's exactly like you the headline the hairline is like back here. Well, let me show you guys and see if you agree that it's good He gave me to George. I want to show you my memoji's just dropping in the group chat. I Got notes

Before you get no, but I was watching that show I got notes. Hold on a second before you guys. No, but I was watching that show. Holy shit, I got notes. You need to hold it together. You need to hold it together and stop talking about them damn emojis and let's get into this Cate Blanchett show. Holy shit. We usually do a little preamble before we get into the guest.

It's an excellent show and I think it's probably the most underrated show of last year. I thought it was amazing. Did you guys watch it by the way? Disclaimer. I don't know what you're talking about. Disclaimer. Why haven't you watched it? Well, you're our producer.

There's so, I'm so sorry. So much TV you have to watch for work. I just haven't get to the disclaimer. You're spending too much time with Zooey Deschanel on the other show. Oh my goodness. Listen. Well, can we, can I ask a question right off the bat? Always ask a question.

Wooteng forever. Wooteng forever. For fuck's sake, stop talking about your willies. Donald, why is this basketball trade such a big deal? I don't know anything about it, but it definitely works. Okay, this is how you gotta look at it. Which one? This is how you gotta look at it.

This is how you gotta look at it. The one that everyone's all upset about. LeBron, I mean, sorry, AD for Luca or Luca Donchik for AD is like, so if the Dallas Mavericks traded, for all of those who have no idea what we're talking about, the Dallas Mavericks traded Luca Donchik to the Lakers for Anthony Davis and some other picks. And some other stuff.

Right. That is the equivalent of Destiny's Child trading Beyoncé to TLC for Chili. Don't make that up. I saw that online. It's a good one though. Don't act like you made that up. I saw that online. I didn't make it up, but that's what it's like.

That is exactly what it's like. So why did they do it? It's just someone who knows nothing about basketball. I have that online. I didn't make it up, but that's what it's like. That is exactly why did they do it to someone who knows nothing about that? I have no idea. I all I know is Dallas has lost their fucking mind. And what are your thoughts? You're a basketball follower. I think I think Donald does more than I do at this point, but I agree that like, you know, I think cubes left Mark Cuban stop, you know, being a part of that organization.

He didn't leave. He just gave away some of... Yeah, exactly. He's not making the decisions anymore. But in 2020, he was like, I would sooner divorce my wife than trade Luka Doncic. So like... Yo, I don't understand. I don't understand what their GM or their vice president of basketball operations was thinking. He traded a 25 year old future of the like literally Luca, when been, yeah, Luca, when been yama burial for him outside of the stadium the following day. They're so distressed.

Oh wait, there must be a secret reason. Like there must be something. Well, there's a bunch of conspiracy theories. Yeah, one of the conspiracy theories. Some say Lucas is an alcoholic. Some say they're trying to get a casino going in Dallas and the people aren't down with that and so they're trying to show these people that we'll do whatever we can to get this casino thing going. Like there's a bunch of conspiracies.

Okay. What I personally believe, I believe that this dude's a moron. No disrespect, my friend. I don't know you. Who's a moron? The trader guy? The dude who traded Luka Dantzschik.

Doesn't, he doesn't know basketball or he doesn't- I feel like he would probably know basketball. Not necessarily. Some people would make moves all on feeling and stuff like that. They were claiming that Luca was out of shape and stuff. And they had to pay him something like $320 million in the next couple of years.

And they didn't wanna have to do that shit. My next basketball question for those of us who don't follow basketball is, what is going on with LeBron's son? He is in the NBA and not doing that well? Is that what's happening? He's just not ready yet. That's all.

I think Bronnie James is gonna be a really good basketball player. He's showing flashes of it. Joelle is doing what's called shade in her window. Well, I think he's- We had this conversation before and I remember somebody saying, of think he's... We had this conversation before, and I remember somebody saying, of course he's gonna be the greatest.

He's LeBron James' son. He'll be excellent. I said that. I still believe that. I believe that he will be a very good player. Right now, he's learning the ropes. I think he got into the league a little too early. He got in early because his dad wanted to play with him? Is that the vibe? That might be part of it. I mean, nepotism him. Is that the vibe? That might be part of it.

I mean, nepotism does play a big part in this. Might be part of it. Donald. Yeah, it does play a big part. I think that's all of it. You are so kind. That is the kindness. Donald's kind to people most times.

But I believe that this kid in a couple of years will be very good and everybody will be swallowing their words. He's already showing. Eating crow? Yeah, eating crow as I say. He's already showing flashes of brilliance in the G league, which is a good sign because usually, you know, if you can't make it in the G league,

you're not going to make it in the NBA. What's the G league? It's like the minor leagues for the NBA. Oh, I didn't know the NBA. I didn't even know the NBA had minor leagues. If you have NBA league cash, you can watch those games. They're pretty good.

Who goes to the G League game? Quite a few people. The local people. He actually sells out the G League. He actually sells out when he plays in the G League. People want to see this kid. Can he drain threes? I know all the lingo.

He can drain threes, he can dunk. He's a good passer. He doesn't turn the ball over that much all the lingo. He can drain threes, he can dunk, he's a good passer. He doesn't turn the ball over that much in the G League and the NBA, it's a little different. They're all a little bit, you know, everybody's great in the NBA. Not everybody's great in the G League. Does he travel?

All good. I mean, everybody travels in the NBA now. Everybody travels, right? In the NBA now, for sure. So the refs don't really, sorry, this is one more, I don't know the NBA that well question. It seems to me, from what I understand of traveling, everybody's kind of traveling.

Yes. Yes, absolutely. They don't call it, they just don't call it. It's like J-Walk. Yeah, you know, that's exactly what it's like. And if the game's on the line and you call a travel, I am shocked because everybody does it throughout the game now, where they lift their first step before they even dribble the ball.

Or they- I feel like I'd be pretty good in the NBA if I was allowed to just run around without dribbling. No, you'd get your shit, you'd be destroyed. They'd destroy you. No, I bet you I could score. If I got on the court with the Lakers and they said, you don't have to dribble.

Not even. I don't think you'd score in the G League, bro. I would score in the G League if I didn't have to dribble. I don't think you'd score in the G League. I'm gonna put it out there. I don't think you'd score in a high school game. Wow, so much high school game. Yo, I went and saw, I went and saw-

Is that what you dream of three of his own? No, I went and saw- Why can't you dream some threes, Don? I went and saw Notre Dame versus Sierra Canyon at the Intuit Dome. These are high school teams. And boy, oh boy, are they fast. I thought, look, it's picked up quite a bit. The pace has picked up quite a bit

in high school basketball. And kids are way more skilled now than they were 10 years ago, 20 years ago. It's pretty impressive. All right, well, I just feel like if there was some kind of contest, they have those contests in intermission where you can win cars and stuff. I feel like if I had some kind of contest, you know how they have those contests in intermission where you can win cars and stuff?

I feel like if I had one of those contests and my rule was you can't dribble. No, sorry. You don't have to dribble. Just fucking like football it in there. I feel like I could score some goals. Football it into the basketball hoop? Yeah, I mean, I could like, I would hold the ball like this and I would just, they'd be trying to foul me

and everything and I would just run up there. And then when you put them into the Jordan thing. The minute the ball got like this, that shit would get smacked out of the sky. No, because I would already be in the air flying like Jordan. That's right. And as you're jumping up, you would notice that they're jumping up too, but they're jumping up too,

but they're jumping way higher than you ever imagined. No, because I would have trampoline shoes. Okay, well then there's that. Did I not mention I'm wearing trampoline shoes? You did not mention that. Did I not mention I'm wearing trampoline shoes? You did not mention that. Well, I am.

Well, I am. I sound like Richard Kind. Well, I am. Well, I am then. If we do a Scrubs reboot, we have to bring back Richard Kind. Absolutely. Cause no one makes me laugh harder.

How about when we had him on the show and he goes, they'll call, you'll see. Oh, they'll call. Oh, they'll call. I'm gonna see you today, Donald. We have a little rehearsal for a secret project. We have some work to be done. Are you gonna wear that beard for the secret project?

No, I gotta shave and everything. When are you getting a shape up? That's what you call it, right? I believe tomorrow. Is it called a shape up? In the morning. It's called a haircut, actually. I need a straight up haircut.

Oh, okay. The barber comes over to your house, right? He's gonna come to set. Okay, and he shaves your beard and your head? Beard, shave and a haircut, two bits. Shave and a haircut, two bits. Because I feel like this barber sometimes has come to your home.

That has happened too. You FaceTimed me yesterday with a barber at your home. Well, mine's guy's not a barber. My guy's not a barber either, he's a groomer. What do you call him? Well, I just feel like with my hair, I don't think of him as a barber. I think of him as like a hairstylist.

That's what mine is too. I don't know, I guess it's just tomato, tomato. We called Donald. He's not a guy, he's all night barbers. My hairstylist and I were singing this song and we didn't know the lyrics. And he said, I guarantee you Donald knows the lyrics. And we FaceTimed Donald you, Donald knows the lyrics. And we FaceTime Donald and

he knew the entire verse. What was the song? Yeah, what was it? These motherfuckers hit me up. It was like, yo, do you know the lyrics to La-Di-Dadi? We like to party. We don't cause trouble. We don't bother nobody. We're just some men that's on the mic. And when we're on the mic, we rock the mic, right? To all, he fucking hit me up and asked me that. He said, what comes after, don't cry, dry your eyes.

Here comes your mother with these two little guys. I was like, don't cry, dry your eye. And here comes your mother with these two little guys. Her mean mother stepped up, said to me, hi, hit Sally in the face and decked her in the eye, punched her in the belly and stepped on her feet, slammed the child on the hard concrete. And then I proceeded to do the rest of the verse.

Yeah, he did the whole song. So we were able to say, thank you, Donald. You did know the song. It's Slick Rick, which I didn't know that it was Slick song. Amazing. So we were able to say, thank you, Donald. You did know the song. It's Slick Rick, which I didn't know that it was Slick Rick. Yes. And also, Slick Rick was English. You didn't know that Slick Rick what? Was British English.

Yes. I didn't know that. Yes. He still had the swagger. I mean, this is the dude that made a lot of gold, like he was like fur coat, gold chains. Swagger came really from Slick Rick. Like everybody else was kind of, you know, Adidas suited out or sweatsuit with jeans and baseball cap. Slick Rick came with the patch on his eye and the really funky Kango and well not the Kango.

He sort of changed the vibe. Yeah, like the pimp style came from Slick Rick. Do you feel bad for Drake at all that the whole world is seeing a diss track about him? That's just, listen. When they cut to the Grammys and everyone in the fucking place was dancing. He asked for it.

And everyone singing A. He wanted to battle. He asked for it. He wanted to battle. He wanted to battle. And this is what happens. Dope. Well, did he start it?

Yeah, back in the day he started it. A long time ago. It was a petty accidental start, is my understanding. The start of this one is he said there's a big three. And Kendrick was like, did you just say, no, that's that's way. That's not you talk about previously with the record labels and stuff. Yeah, before the earlier early way, way, way, way before. Way before. I mean, he took I'm not going to lie.

He took Kendrick and J. Cole out on stage with him. He gave them a lot of shine. And, you know, somewhere along the way, Kendrick and J. Cole out on stage with him. He gave them a lot of shine and, you know, somewhere along the way, Kendrick got, felt a certain way about what was going on or something he said. And he dissed him way back when he said, something like, no new friends, we don't need that

or some shit like that in that song. And Kendrick took that personal. And. You know, I feel like J. Cole's the one that said, it's like the big three, you know what I mean? J. Cole's the one that said that. Oh, J. Cole backed up out of the out of the battle. J. Cole said, I don't need this. He backed out quick. He was like, you know, I think I'm sorry. But I don't want any of this.

And they went back and forth for a bit. And a lot of people are saying it's hate on Drake. Look, I know what I like. And I like some of the Drake diss tracks, but nothing's better than They Not Like Us. That's one of the dopest diss tracks I've ever heard in my life. In my life. It goes, They Not Like Us, Ether, and Back to Back. Drake's Back to Back is one of the best diss tracks I've ever heard in my life. In my life, it goes, they're not like us, ether and back to back. Drake's back to back is one of the best diss tracks

I've ever heard also. You know what I mean? I don't hate Drake. I just feel like he lost this battle. I just feel like, even though the guy's a zillionaire and everything and he has everything he wants in life, I just feel the whole world singing a diss track about him. I feel bad.

Well, he had the same thing happen with a bunch of people. You know, people were singing the takeover back in the day when Jay-Z dropped that. You know, people were singing Ether when Nas dropped that. People were singing back to back when that was dropped. Yo, there's so many people that have battled in the past. This one just got to a level that nobody ever thought a battle track would ever get to, that's all. But they were in the Grammys and they like every single artist, like Taylor Swift. Nigga, the whole fucking Grammy said, A minor.

I know, I know, I know. And they're all dancing, like even like like the old like from old record execs to like Taylor Swift with a champagne glass and everyone's like a minor. Yeah. It does have to feel like Whiplash to be like a very large number of people were like Drake is the greatest rapper of all time and there is praise at every which way. And now difficult for him to go out without people creating a meme. But like, it's just, it's gotta be a twist.

I know, he performed in Australia, I saw on the interwebs, and he came out, and he had like a bullet ridden hoodie on it, had like bullet holes in it. And then somehow, with some rig, he had smoke coming out of the holes. And that was like his statement that he's been being shot up. I mean, look, the same thing that he did to everybody else is now being done to him and he can't be mad at it. So what you're saying is it's karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, chameleon. Yeah, in a lot of ways it is. So take 18 months and go on vacation with your millions and then come back with a great dance track and we'll move on.

It'll be fine. It's not like he can't rap. Right, it's not like he's not nice with it. You know what I mean? Just get back in the studio, make another album. Yeah, why don't you take your 747 private jet somewhere nice and go write some songs. That's what he should do.

Turn off Instagram. It's just, the problem is, is that Kendrick is just merciless right now He's showing the halftime show dude The whole record that came out the whole record pretty much the whole record that came out is diss tracks Tracks about me and the whole world would be so sad Zach. You don't know how bad it is He's playing in Toronto on Father's Day His tracks about me and the whole world was singing them, I'd be so sad. Zach, you don't know how bad it is. He's playing in Toronto on Father's Day.

That's fucked up. He's playing in Toronto, Drake City on Father's Day. I was like the man, it doesn't stop. That is so, that's mean. He got a song, he got a song where every lyric in the song is from a song that Drake copied. So it's a full fucking song with the title of every song that Drake has ever copied.

All right, let me ask you a question. And don't get all worked up. Because I don't know this music that well. So this is coming from I'm sure there's other people in the audience who can agree. When he does the Super Bowl halftime show, are people gonna recognize a lot of songs? Because I don't know. He has a couple of them. He has quite a few of them that are actually. A couple? Well, I mean, you gotta be honest.

Well, I'm saying that when Rihanna plays. He doesn't have a catalog like Rihanna. He doesn't have a catalog like. I'm saying when Rihanna plays, we know every fucking hit. I don't know his music that well. Will John Q. Citizen, like me, who doesn't know rap that well, know his big hits? He's got a couple of them that everybody,

that were bangers, like Be Humble. He's got They Not Like Us. He's got a couple of songs with, he's got like three songs with SZA that everybody knows from the Black Panther soundtrack, to the one that's out right now. He's got- Is SZA performing with him?

Yes. I'm sure she is. She is. She definitely is. He's got, he's got. Is Sizzle performing with him? Yes. Yes. I'm sure she is. She is. She definitely is. They announced it with Theater Aid. She's great. And she's going on tour with him.

Can't wait to see him. I like Sizzle. Well, they're from the same camp. They went to camp together, theater camp? They did go to theater camp together. Yes, that's exactly what they did. Did they go to stage door manor together? I'm not sure if it was stage door manor.

I think it was. He must have been younger than me. I think it was the camp of hard knocks. I didn't see him at stage door. This dude is so fucked up. He wore a jean suit. A Canadian tux. Oh, do you think that was a diss? Because that's a Canadian...

Yes, yes. Too intentional for it not to be. He's diabolical like that, dude. He's hyper intentional. He's diabolical like that. I saw on the interwebs that someone said, this is how diabolical he is. He pretended, and again, this is just people talking shit on the internet,

that he pretended to drop his ring and had to find it after he won the award so that it slowed down him getting to the stage enough so that A minor, the song song would hit A minor by the time he spoke. Diabolical. It did feel time. He took off his ring and pretended to drop it. That's crazy.

Drake dropped a diss track. Drake dropped a diss track. Six minutes and 16 seconds later, fucking Kendrick drops one. Called 616 or some shit like that if I'm correct. Dude, I could be wrong about that, but thisrick drops one, calls 616 or some shit like that, if I'm correct. Dude, I could be wrong about that, but this dude is like, everything that he said in these songs Drake is now doing in Euphoria, he said some shit and Drake's doing all of that stuff. Now, all of the- You know, I just watched an episode of The Office where Jim and Dwight challenge each

other to a snowball fight. And Dwight takes, I don't know if you've ever seen this episode, but Dwight takes it so seriously that everywhere he goes, fucking Krasinski's just getting pummeled by snowballs. Like it's not even funny anymore, he's got like a bloody nose, he's like, he gets a present, he opens it, Dwight's rigged like a fucking catapult

from the present to hit him in the face with it. And he starts having panic attacks because no matter where he goes, he's going to get fucking pegged by a snowball. And it's like, dude, fucking mercy. I give up. You've beaten me to a pulp. Stop throwing these snowballs. And that is my analogy to Kendrick and Drake. In this scenario, Kendrick is Dwight. Yes, Kendrick is Dwighting, snowballing. Gosh, I'm having so much fun watching that show. What's up, demo?

Is our guest here? Yes. That's what I was just going to say. Our guest is here. Here we go. Five, six, seven, eight. He's got stories about a show we made. About a bunch of dogs and nurses and a janitor who loved to hate. Leila, welcome to the show. I'm so glad you're here. I've been big upping your show on this

podcast because I think as appreciated as it must have been, I think it's one of the greatest shows of last year and I just am like your publicist on this podcast. So thank you for coming on. That is so nice. Thank you so much. I'm honored. I really am. I feel quite out of place and not quite sure what I'm doing here, but I'm very excited to be. I've been fans of you guys I think since I was... Don't do it. Don't you do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Don't you fucking do it. We already feel it. You got close. Yeah. Yeah, I noticed that. Born in 1992. I hesitate. You got close. Yeah, I noticed that. Born in 1992. I graduated high school in 92.

Yes. You don't have to tell her that, Donald. You look 25 yourself. I'll take it. How did this come about? It's so amazing, and I read, because Joelle, that's Joelle Monique, our amazing producer, and she gives us, she gives us like recon about you.

We get recon. And it's, and I read that you, Alfonso Cuaron didn't even ask you to audition. Is that true? Yeah. The whole thing was really just a fluke. They, it was a last minute change of plan that that another actress was going to play this part. And they were trying to find someone whose face would quite easily with visual effects be able to have Cate Blanchett's face

put on top of them. And they also wanted to be an actress so that it was an actor being able to do the scenes with Louis Partridge who plays opposite me in the show. And so they wanted it to be an actor and my name, I guess, was thrown in the ring. I'm not really sure how. I've heard a few different stories. I heard that someone saw pictures of like paparazzi pictures of me in a red bikini on a beach and were like, oh, she should do it. There's the scene right there. Yeah, but that's crazy because you had, I mean, you had to obviously look like young Cate Blanchett,

but you also, it's a very fucking hard part. And they couldn't just cast someone because they looked, oh, you're saying they were gonna digitally put Cate on your face? Yes, yes. They were just gonna use your body and that's it. Yes, and they only wanted an actor, I think, to be able to work through the scene and mimic her as well.

And, you know, I don't know. And so when I accepted the job, it was really just to get experience working with Alfonso and on a set like that. It wasn't going to be me. And it wasn't until, and it was one of those like, Alfonso Cuaron wants to talk to you tomorrow about this movie, there's no script. We never get calls like that, Donald.

I'm not getting an Alfonso Cuaron wants to talk to you call. I'm still waiting for Dave Filoni to call me and say these things, you know what I mean? She doesn't know who Dave Filoni is. Why don't you say someone names she might know, George Lucas or Steven Spielberg. What about Feige? Yes, yes, I'm waiting for him.

I'm waiting for him. Yeah, she's waiting for the Feige call as well. Everybody's waiting for the Feige call. Yeah. I just want to be able to say, I was just so, Alfonso Caron called me and he said, no, that's not one day that'll happen to me.

He called me and I hadn't had a script and I get so nervous with these director meetings because I never know how to prepare. I'm not good at selling myself. You know, I'll probably suggest someone else for the job. And so I read the book overnight and spoke to him the next day. And he was very upset that I'd read the book because he wanted me to hear the story from his script first. But he basically told me the whole story and then said, would you like to play this part?

To which I just immediately responded yes. And he said, okay, well, we need you to come here in three days and we start shooting in 10 days. And I went there based on the knowledge that it would never be my face. And it wasn't until I landed that he sat down opposite with me for the first time. And he was like, hmm, how would you feel

about the first four episodes? It's you. And then in the last two, we do the face replacement. I was like, great. I think the idea was, and I don't want to give away. Yeah, be careful about spoilers. But the show has a really...

The idea was that there's one side of this character where we see her and it would be me, and then there's another interpretation of her that we would see and it would be Kate's face. And... I think we can say without spoilers that the show just as a broad stroke, the stories of the past are told

from different perspectives. We can say that. Yeah, for sure. That's the one thing that caught me in the first episode. I was like, all right, I'm having trouble right now. What's going on? What's going on? And then, because at first I was like, well, who's Kate? Is Kate the girl that went home because the mom, because the aunt died? What's going on? I don't get it. And then when they show you at the beach with the boy

and he's taking pictures, I was like, okay, now I got it. Now I'm in. That's what I really like about the show. I love a show that has the balls to unfold slowly. I like a show where you're obviously by the end of the pilot, you have to like connect some dots for people or they're gonna be like, fucking, I don't get this.

But I love a show that makes you go, wait, what's that? I don't know yet, I don't have all the answers. And then they start giving you some clues and you go, oh, I love that. And when a producer, director, writer do that to me and they give me, they respect my intelligence and like unfold something slowly. Yeah, I thought at first I thought Kevin Klein

and Kate were the two in the beginning on the train. That's what I thought at first. I was like, okay. That would have been an interesting. Well, not only that, it was like, this doesn't seem, it didn't seem, it seemed just like a little- Donald Faison presents disclaimer. Yeah.

It seemed like, I was like, wow, this doesn't seem too far back. I'm sitting there like he has a Walkman on. When did Walkmans come out? You know, and I'm trying to put, piece it together. And then when it hits and it unfolds and you realize, no, that's the dad. Well, so spoilers shut up.

That's not spoilers, that's the gist of the show. Careful, because I'm telling the whole audience to watch the show, and I want them to be like, Donald ruined that part. I did not. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. Did you get to, so at what point in your shooting

did Alphonse, because as I remember, it was always you, right? He never ended up switching, right? Well, it wasn't until a year later, the first time I saw the show in full, that he called me immediately, like, do you like it, do you like it? I was like, yeah, but when are you doing the CGI?

Because I don't think I can watch it. Oh, because it's like, you're gonna take it away, yeah. I'm not sure I could watch it when that happens. And he's like, nah, we just decided not to do it. I was like, I just bawled, just broke down. And I loved that man so much. Why did you break down? You are happy, okay?

I was so happy, I was so happy. Because you do such a great job on the show. Oh, I really, that's huge coming from you. Thank you so much. It was the best experience of my life. Like work experience. Did you get to meet Kay? I mean, you don't really have scenes together, obviously.

Did you get to like have any talk? I mean, I just, I'm obsessed with her as well. I think she's one of the greatest there is. Did you get to have any discourse with her about saying, even mannerisms or anything like that? We had, the day I arrived was her last shoot day. And we had, for about an hour, we blocked through a couple of the most significant scenes.

And that's where I first got to see kind of what she was doing and how she was standing and, you know, yeah, mannerisms and etc. And then I got to see Apple. It was down to the wire. It was the first day of shooting and I still hadn't seen any footage and I'd been asking for footage for a while and Someone knocked on my trailer with an iPad about 45 minutes before I was supposed to go on set With all the scenes were like five scenes that she'd done. She's like, this is amazing. But how do I? How do I like cram?

revision for this next you know, months that I'm going to be shooting this. And I thought, you know, I can't record it on my phone because Apple will know. And so I put the iPad up and then put my phone on selfie mode. And I recorded myself and I recorded myself mimicking what she was doing on the iPad to kind of have that in my possession. Yeah, that's smart. Just have some little mannerisms because they might be so subtle,

no one's gonna clock it, but I think that if I was directing something like that, I'd say, let's find just a couple little things. Because I think we all hold on to those subtle little mannerisms in our lives. Yeah. Didn't Nicole Sullivan say that?

Sorry, go ahead. Well, and Donald, like for example, says, that's what says, you know what I'm saying, like every other sentence. And he's been doing that for 24 years. So if I was casting young Donald, I would make sure that he says, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Is it, you know what I sure that he says, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I mean, you know what I'm saying? Is it, you know what I mean? Is it, you know what I mean? I mean, you know what I'm saying? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean?

Do you do like, nah, I'm saying? Do you like, just want to- Born and raised in New York City, where you know what I'm saying came from. And I say that shit all the time, you know what I'm saying? No, yeah I mean. I think it can be, it's a bit of an English thing too, to be like, it's not mean, it's not mean. It's not mean.

It's not mean. My boyfriend makes fun of me all the time and I'm like, no, it's not mean. He's like, it's not mean. Yeah. I mean. Now you are, your father, for those who don't know, is the legendary thespian Vincent D'Onofrio. He'll love that.

And he's a legend. Did you grow up in, where did you grow up? Cause you have actually have an English accent obviously, but where did you grow up? Until about eight or nine, it was between England and Australia. Wait a second, your dad's Vincent D'Onofrio? You didn't know that?

I did not know that. Well, you should have known that. I need to do better research, bro. Yeah, yeah, you didn't do it really. By the way, I love that you didn't know it. I spend a lot of my life getting very excited when people find out later on, or when I'm on a job and it takes them two months to figure it out. I think that's my mission.

So I love that. That's great. Well, I knew it and I knew and I think he's one of the greatest actors. Agreed. That's how you know who Feige is. Yes. That's very true. Actually, you're gonna like another aspect. If I'm not mistaken, Donald, you're gonna like this aspect.

Again, in my recon on you that Joelle gave me, you and your family do an annual Disney world or land trip? Annual is an understatement How many times a year do you go to Disneyland or world? I've been known to go I've I think I had a year recently where it was about four or five times But that was between that was either Disneyland or Disney World Language I got you go Disneyland or Disney World. That wasn't just Disney World.

You're spanking Donald's language. I got you beat. You go? Ugh, what? Tell me. Well, not anymore, not as much as I used to. Now it's only once a year because that's what they allow. But back in the day when Scrubs was on television.

Who's that? Oh, okay. He's talking about, wait, first of all, they, oh, I see. He's talking about getting the VIP guy and shit. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, all of that stuff. So back in the day when I was doing scrubs though, when we were doing scrubs,

I was at Disneyland probably twice a month for the year. Like I was going so much. I remember I was, look, at first they used to make me do certain things like I have to, you know, well, no, not take pictures. I'd have to go and sit down with a bunch of people

and they would interview me and we would talk shit about shows that I was on. It was like little- Oh, really? When I've done it like that, you just have to take a picture with Minnie Mouse. No, that was bad. And I'm talking about like, before you go,

you want to go to Disneyland? All right, do this press junket for me and I'll get you tickets. I bet. That's how it started. Then it became, they gave me the offices number at the, cause I used all the NBC's tickets, right? And so they're like, listen,

we'll just give you the number to Disneyland. And I started calling the publicists at Disneyland and I would call like every other week and be like, hey, what's up? And I lost this shit because this is how I lost it. You abused it. You abused it. You abused it. No, I bought my buddy.

I bought my buddy. You flew too close to the sun. No, I did. I bought my buddy, Kevin Jordan. And Kevin Jordan said to me, and I don't know if I've told this story before, but we get to Disneyland. He's like, look, no matter what,

I gotta take a picture with Pluto. And I'm like, I can make that happen, bro. I can make that fucking happen for you. Why Pluto? I don't know. This is what he said. He's one of the best. He's like, I gotta do it. You gotta make this happen for me.

And I was like, all right. I was like, what kind of Pluto do you want? Do you want Pluto dressed up in a costume or do you want Pluto, just Pluto the dog? And he's like, I just want Pluto the dog. You gotta get it. But this is my childhood dream. Okay. And I'm like, all right, Pluto the dog. You gotta get it, but this is my childhood dream. Okay.

And I'm like, all right, bet. So I go to the guide, yo, listen, it's his childhood dream to take a picture with Pluto. Can we make this happen? He probably had no one in the Pluto costume. And we're like, Jim, you gotta come in. And they were like, Jim.

Jim. So they're like, we'll see what we can do. Somewhere along the line, they make this shit happen and they surprise us and out of nowhere, here comes Pluto the dog. And I'm like, holy shit, Kevin, look, it's Pluto. And he goes, oh my God, can we take this picture? And I'm like, let's take this picture, Kevin. So we get the cameras ready.

The fucking park has the camera person there, too Right, right. They want a picture of Donald phase-on and Pluto. I'm not in the picture with Pluto. It's Kevin and Pluto They don't care about Kevin. They're making this hat It's like a you know, a dream is a wish your heart makes his wish is coming true, right? He gets next to Pluto. Oh, no, what? He picks Pluto up. Oh, you can't pick Pluto up. Oh no. Why he goes to Pluto up? No, no, no. And we're all taking pictures. He's like, you ready? And we're taking pictures as he's doing this. Pluto probably didn't like that. Dude, the mask almost falls off. Pluto's holding onto the mask on his head like this. Yo, dude

I didn't at this point I didn't know the park had security like that out of nowhere these motherfuckers came out of nowhere Scrambling on us. I wasn't allowed back at Disneyland for over a year because of this shit. You got banned. Yeah Okay, good to know good to know Layla don't pick up Pluto when you know Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words Are you this is where I'll have you beat Are you a member of the club? I'm not you're a man. That shit is so expensive I want to I had somebody come up to me and be like Donald if you want and you got you can get in Are you a member of Club 33? You're a member of the club, aren't you? I'm not. You're a member of the secret club? That shit is so expensive. I want to.

I had somebody come up to me and be like, Donald, if you want in, you can get in, but this is what it's going to cost you. Laila, we've never had anyone who knew the inside. What happens in it? Yeah. Oh my gosh, if I talk about it. You're not allowed to talk about it? What if they kick me out?

Well, I don't want to get you kicked out. There are, it's not, I don't think it's a secret that there are, at Disney World and at Disneyland, but you can only be a Club 33 member at one or the other. So we are Club 33 members at Disney World. And in each park, Animal Kingdom, Apricot, Magic Kingdom, there is a little club restaurant that's very hidden. You wouldn't really notice it unless you knew that it was there

because it's kind of a door that you maybe thought wasn't really a door or something like that. But there's a little symbol at the outside with a little Mickey face and you put your membership card up against the door. You wait a few seconds for them to decide if they wanna let you in or not. And then some kind of thing opens and you go up and it's each one is themed different.

Our favorite one is the animal kingdom one and there's like a special snack and you can just get a bit drunk and like, it's pretty great. Oh my God, I hear the food is like top notch. It's different food. Yep. It's different food. They have like a special snack. You can bring up to three people, but you can kind of bring more. I'm just saying this.

It costs so much. It costs money, dude. Well, you have some money. I do now. I didn't at the time. Well, now I think you need to come up. You could afford it. Now I can. You need to carpet your deal. It comes with tickets at the time. Well, now I think you need to be coming up. You could afford it. Yeah, Donald. Now I can.

You need to carpet your deal. It comes with tickets to the park. It comes with tickets and also the VIP days, like a certain allotment of them. And you also get like, oh God, I'm such a nerd about it. So when they're opening new rides, sometimes they only open them for members for like two weeks. So for two weeks, you can be the first people they get to ride the rides.

Oh my goodness. I do have one thing that you probably, I was the first person of me and I was the first person to fly the Millennium Falcon at the park. That's cool. That's cool. We've not done a first person to fly the Millennium Falcon. That's cool. That's cool. We've not done a first person thing. Have you been though to at Epcot, the Guardians of the Galaxy ride? I have not, but the one at Disneyland is phenomenal. No, different. Different thing. It's not a Tower of Terror.

This is a roller coaster that beats all roller coasters. It's the best, most smoothest, craziest, funnest, like we'll do it five times in a row, and it's the most amazing ride that you'll ever go on. Please, you have to just go next week to the Gauntlet of the Gadget Rider Epcot. All right, audience. Do you remember the, what was the rock and roll,

the Aerosmith? Yeah, they're changing it to, I'm such a geek. It's all good. I love this. I kinda wanna pull up some trivia and see which one you know more. Is it One Direction or something?

I feel like- They're changing it to the One Direction ride. No, I don't know that one. I feel like they're changing it to something that I was disappointed in. I don't know. Oh, the Rock and Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. Hollywood is being rethemed to the Muppets. Oh, oh, I'm all right.

Oh, that's actually better. That's new. That's new information that I didn't have. But they're from one direction to the Muppets. That's a big difference. I guarantee it was something else before they were. There's been rumors for like years of which band they were gonna change it to. Anyway.

You don't like the Guardians of the Galaxy at Disneyland? No, I do, I do, I do. It's just, that's Tower of Terror, you know. And when you go, you go with your whole family like your dad goes? Sometimes. It's hard to picture Vincent D'Onofrio on Small World. Oh gosh, that's been our jam. That was what our relationship was.

Not Small World, by the way. He loves it as much as you do, obviously. Growing up, before my brothers were born, and before he was Vincent D'Onofrio, we would go, just the two of us, between like when I was two and seven, and that would be the time I would see my dad. Like that was our whole relationship. We'd go, we'd wait in line, we'd get the FAS pass, I'd be on his shoulders, like we'd spend the whole day. He queued up, he always tells a story that he queued up for like four hours because I had to get Ariel's autograph and it was like that was that it's sometimes we go

without my brothers just as a little like that's how it's supposed to be. Yeah, we don't tell them that they're going. I feel like Disneyland is an adult park. It's not as kids can come to. I go just to watch Donald be so happy. Like I'm not as into it as Donald is, but I go just because it's like,

and we've been with Joelle and Daniel too, but I just, I like going just to watch my friend be in his happy place. Yeah. Kids ruin it. And you know what else ruins Disneyland? Kids do ruin it. You know what else ruins Disneyland? Alcohol.

I used to think, you know what, I'm going to go to Disneyland with a nice little buzz. That shit fucks you up. I got drunk once at Disneyland and was like, it was my daughter's birthday. I'll never forget this. I'm lifting Goofy. I did not lift Goofy. But I got drunk at Disneyland and fucking, we went on the Incredicoaster and my daughter was like,

let's do it again. And I was so drunk that we went home a little earlier than we were supposed to see the fireworks. When I go with your kids, it's not nearly as fun. We can't move, we can't, we can't bang out all the rides. They have them, they need their little tree. Yeah, no, you've got to, I'm not so fun at Disney because I'm like, I'm always the organizer making sure that we hit everything.

And so I like jump between like mission mode and five-year-old girl. But it's all about the gummies at Disney. Well, I haven't done the gummies. Groom gummies or weed gummies? Both, both. Layla! Oh my gosh, yes. Layla, now that Marnie is down. I was going to ask if you were at the Tiana ride, if you're the new, it was formerly Splash Mountain now, the Tiana ride.

Did you like it? We have. Was it good? We have. I was never, Tiana was just after my kind of childhood, I think. And I'm very glad that they changed that ride because obviously it was... Yeah. It had some...

Racist. Very racist. It was racist. But... Did you ever see a song at a South Joe Elf? Yeah, I saw that. I saw that. I didn't film schools. Yeah, I mean, when we all became like hip to it every time, and it's a shame because I loved that ride as a kid and there's those characters like Brie Rabbit and all of that

and you just like get to know them. Even the song. Yeah. And then you're kind of on it as a grown up. Like yeah, I don't feel like right about enjoying this anymore. Yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah.

We were on it once, and I think it malfunctioned. This was a big family trip where there was 20 of us. We had to have like two guides and like split. It was a huge reunion. And we got stuck right where the vultures are at the top right before you splash down. And the vultures, I feel like started wiggling out a little bit.

Like they were saying things that we were like, did they just, like it felt like the guys were having a good time behind the microphones, like talking about stuff that, yeah, I feel like it malfunctioned a little bit. They were like, we're gonna lose this ride anyway, so let's just give it one last go. Let's lean in.

It was already a bit like, let's find your happy place, you know, and so then it just got a bit, yeah. I watched this, I went down this wormhole about the Star Wars Hotel in In Florida in Disney It's gone, but this girl who does funny videos about theme parks, I forgot her name, but she did like an hour and a half two hour video where she went and like an hour and a half, two hour video where she went and stayed at the hotel.

And then she did a whole hilarious report on her experience staying in the hotel. Joelle, maybe you can find it for me, or the name of it. It was like, if you put in YouTube, maybe like review of Star Wars Hotel by a girl. She's this really funny YouTuber. Anyway, it was just crazy that the, the her, and it failed obviously,

because it was too expensive and, you know, but I don't know, that's my contribution. We actually, we spent an evening at Disney, cause we'll go to the park during the day, and then we'll all hang out in a hotel room and just like goof off and, you know, cry laughing with each other. And my brother, my my he is

obsessed with Star Wars and he really wanted to go to the hotel and none of us like my dad and I were like there's no way like because you also have to wear the clothes and stuff and the idea that my dad and I were gonna go and like have to dress up as like a Sith Lord or something. We're just, there's no way. No, you role play. It's like you, you have to. What do you call it when you LARP? You like, yeah, you LARP. You like, you walk around. But it's not real LARPing, man.

You're not getting into blaster battles with stormtroopers and stuff like that. No, but there are things that happen. No, dude, they wake you up. Like we spoke to this guy on the phone for so long. They wake you up in the night and they'll be like, there's trouble in the engine room. And you have to go.

And you're on your own quest. Everyone's on their own. It's like a choose your adventure. I know because I watched this girl's whole video because it was so funny. But like you're on your own choose your adventure ride. And you can like, as the characters are walking around, you can talk to them and be like,

hey, I heard something's going on in the engine room. And they'll give you clues and shit. And like everyone has their own like quest. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't want to get into a war. Yeah, well. Joelle, did you find it? I dropped it in the chat.

I think that's her. Oh, Joelle dropped it. I don't see it in the chat. I don't see it in the chat, Joelle. I'll put it in the main chat. I would want to get into a war. I would want a war to start, a Star Wars to start at the Star Wars Hotel. And I would want to be, you know, the hero of the rebellion or the Empire, whichever side.

I just want to shout out this video for people that are curious, because I thought I was going to watch 10 minutes of it. Sorry. I watched the whole thing, and I'm not even a mega Disney fan like these guys. It's called the Spectacular Failure of the Star Wars Hotel. And it's by Jenny Nicholson, who makes very funny videos, by the way. But I got to tell you, I was wrong.

It's four hours long. You watched the whole thing? I think I skipped a couple of things, but it's one of those things, the girl, the woman is so good at making a video that you just, when you're like, okay, enough, she says something funny and you just keep watching it. Yeah, it's like, it's like, it's a four hour review

of her experience staying at the Disneyland, the Star Wars hotel. So I highly recommend that. Did you guys ever make it? Did you guys go? No, no way. He also wants us to go on a cruise, which isn't gonna happen. Like this is the-

Donald, I'm surprised you don't go on a cruise. You probably wouldn't be bothered too much maybe. You know, ever since that COVID shit happened on the cruise ships and stuff, I have no desire to be on a boat. But you're a big Star Wars fan. I thought you would have done the Star Wars. Nah, I am a huge Star Wars fan. I thought you would have done the Star Wars.

Nah, I am a huge Star Wars fan, but that shit, one, it was expensive. He's very germaphobic and a cruise ship is. I have no interest in being, look, I might be a Star Wars fan, but I don't like people. He's a bit of an agoraphobe. I don't like hanging out with a bunch of- Wait, last topic and we'll let you go, but I want to talk, are you a Knicks fan? Yeah, big Knicks fan. I saw on your Instagram that you were enjoying some MSG and I thought you and Donald might

bond over that as well because that's his team. We did not make one trade. Well, we did trade. We traded for, we traded somebody who didn't play at all this trade deadline. I did not know you were a Nick fan. Well, look, I don't know about, I'm not like in with the trades and stuff. My boyfriend always makes fun of me because he's like, okay, so name five players. And I'm like, I can do it. You can totally do that.

But I love going. Just go Jaylen Brunson, Josh Hart, O.G. Anna Nobly, Kat Townsend. I've been going to MSG too a bunch. Deuce McBride. All right, Dalton, I don't know anything either, but I have so much fun there. I love that.

Both the deaf rangers and the Knicks. I love it so much, I love it so, so much. I would go every, if I ever knew that I had tickets, I would just go. And there's something I love about just watching American sports, it's different from where I grew up, it's just the way that everyone gets into it. And when you're that close, when you're lucky enough

to be that close, which just feels like, I can't quite believe, it's the biggest get I think I've ever made in my life is... Getting the VIP hookup at MSG? Yeah, is being really good friends with the VIP guy at MSG. That's a good look. Shout out Trey. Big ups Trey. When I'm in New York, I'm hollering at you.

I got a hookup too. I don't know if it's Trey, it's somebody else, but that's how I've been going too. They sit on the floor. Oh my gosh. And we've become really good friends. I love him. We go out to dinner and stuff and he's great. He's so fun. But yeah, it's a different experience. And you feel like you're among giants.

It feels like it's a full on show. No it is. It is a full on show and the Knicks are good this year. And so it's worth it. Well, Layla, thank you for coming on. Everybody who's listening to this, check out Disclaimer. I think, I'm sure it was a huge success, but however big a success it was,

I think it was underrated. It was one of my favorite shows last year. And you're a really, really good actress. And we can't wait to see what happens to your career from now. We will be seated. Thank you so much. Honestly, and I've been listening to your podcast.

I feel like we have the same relationship algorithm because I've been saving like Jillian, is it Jillian Turecki? Is that how you say her name? Yeah. Oh, she's awesome. Yeah, man. And Matthew Hussey honestly got me, has gotten me through so many. I've just had him on like repeat. And whenever I have a friend that's going through a breakup, I send them that like

I do too. 10 to 15 minutes for anyone going through a breakup thing. When I have friends going through relationship shit, I send them Jillian Turecki and Matthew Hussey videos and quotes. So yeah, we're the same way. Yeah. I'm a bit nervous now that on Instagram it shows people what you've liked. Because now I feel like all my friends are liking

all these funny videos and stuff. And then they're just going to be scrolling and see that I've just liked all of these related. Like, you know, if he's not bloody blah, then. OK, I need to wait a second. Wait a second. When did Instagram start doing this? Please don't say.

Donald's having an out of body experience. You can't just like two weeks ago, like three weeks ago or something. You can just see everything. Yes, I got to delete Instagram. I need to delete Instagram. Your wife's not going to like it when she sees that you only like OnlyFans girls. I need to delete Instagram. Your wife's not going to like it when she sees that you only like OnlyFansGirls. I don't just like OnlyFansGirls, asshole.

She's really talented. She's gorgeous. She's such a good actress. I guarantee you she's going gonna be a very big star Well, you know, it's pedigree It she comes with it say about the nipple baby conversation I mean I granted some people don't have it But I gotta say like if if your father's the level of actor of incident

I'm for you like there's chromosomes in you. They're probably gonna be you're gonna have a good shot Like there's chromosomes in you. They're probably gonna be, you're gonna have a good shot. It's interesting, cause she doesn't go at all by her father's name or, and she sort of enjoys the surprise. I wonder, we should have asked her her thoughts on Nepo babies, cause like Sharma has a beautiful answer. She did sort of say like, I love it that people don't know. But you know, I just feel like-

That was enough for me when she said that now. We talked about this with Charlotte Lawrence. Like, it's like, I feel. But you know, I just feel like- That was enough for me when she said that now. We talked about it with Charlotte Lawrence. It's like, I feel like, you know, I'm not gonna happen every time, obviously, but I think if your parents happen to be talented actors, there's something likely to happen. I see it. Can I five, six, seven, eight?

Oh my God. You just did! You just did! No, no, just to beat. She can do the, she can do her for her departure. We can do an early five, six, seven. No, we'll just use that for the end of the show. We'll do what we'll do. Yes. You do it and then we'll use it at the very end. Okay. So now the one I just did, I'm going to go ready, ready, go. No, no, no, no, no. Matter of fact, matter of fact, Daniel, Daniel should play it when you said that just now.

Daniel played it, play it. Yeah! That's not good. Dude and Bill. I want her to do a good one for the outro of the whole show, Donald. All right, go now, Layla. Oh gosh, now it's pressure.

That was so natural. You're an actress, actually. All right, guys, can I do it? Are you ready? Can we go? Five, six, seven, eight. Here's some stories about a show we made About a bunch of docs and nurses

And a janitor who loved to hate acid Here's the stories that we all should know So gather round to hear our- Gather round to hear our- Spurs Rewatch show with Zack and Donno Hey, what's up y'all this is Eric Andre.
