Episode Date: September 3, 2026

Gal Gadot joins Dana & David this week to talk about Tom Cruise’s running, the Miss Universe competition, and her new movie The Runner. Also, the Fast and the Furious franchise, auditioning for Wonder Woman, and Gal and David compare Instagram followers. 

I feel like when I'm either drunk or tired, it's really bad. And which one are you now? Yeah. I'm tired, right? But maybe you had a little bit of a little mimos. I'm not going to tell you. Oops. You know, my wish, I wish I had Tom Cruise doing my stunts in a blonde wig.

Yeah, because he's the best at it. I got a blonde wig. I got these glasses. I remember the way in the world. Yeah. Yeah. Too cute. It was like real life, me talking to a pretty girl and I'm just acting like I'm not there.

I'm dying to know what you said. I'm so sorry. We just did seven minutes and here we go again, but it went surprisingly well. But wait, let's hear if I can hear David. Oh, David. Spade right here going on one on. Wow. I have both of you.

You may never hear of me again. Guys, I think we should keep it all. I like it. organic and, you know, messy. Like my life. Messy. Yeah. I know.

Life is messy. I think we all don't have makeup on and we all look good. I have makeup on. Oh, you do? But that's a good makeup. I refuse to answer on the advice of my attorney. Obviously, he wears his makeup. How I get this look is a mystery.

But anyway, you've checked. Just woke up like this. well whoops dark back there but I oh I'm dark

right are you hair are you trying to my hair to the sexy part my hair in the back is just dark brown

and it's real and then if you thought for one second he would cut the sexy part you're out of your mind oh this is just

my coy kind of German man whoops sorry oh it's just a fun attitude to be in. I love it. I love your accent. I want to talk like you. It's very subtle, though. Very subtle. I love it. I feel like when I'm either drunk or tired, it's really bad.

And which one are you now? Yeah. Tired, right? But maybe you had a little mimosas. I'm not going to tell you. Oops. That's it. Whoops. Maybe someone had a mimosa. Who knows? No. No. No, no, I'm very, I'm very, I'm just tired. Thanks for doing this. But it's like the type of tired when you get like tipsy, when you get silly. I do like it. You get spacey and crazy. We call it punchy.

David, I'm so sorry I didn't answer any of your remarks. No, we talked about it. And they said nothing I said it was important at all. So. David, I think you're tired with the five-hour energy behind you. Or are you doing like a soul? Is this like a subtle partnership? Not subtle.

It's our sponsor. It's not subtle. You have to read a 12-minute commercial. Oh, so elegant, you guys. Yeah. We are kind of, I don't know, what do you call us, hors? Or what would be the word for what we're doing? Oh, yeah.

I see. You have one in your background, too. Okay. Yeah. I'll get my. I put them way back. My vodka. Did you get the jug?

We sent you to drink the whole interview? No, I'm kidding. We don't do that. We'll send you a five-hour energy hat if you want. I love hats. And I love how generous you guys are. We like to give. I'm wearing a hat because I don't do my hair on Sundays.

Okay. I'm doing, actually, what I wanted to ask you is that I'm doing a movie right now and then I have to run down this hill. and I was watching the runner this morning, the movie you got coming out, and I was like, I was thinking, she must have,

be running a lot and have a stunt runner, and I have a stunt runner only because I run down a hill and they had to get me a stuntman because I wasn't fast enough. They had a stunt runner, and I was happy to do it. Yeah, man, but that's not fair.

Did they prep you for the role? Did you like do workouts and training? Let me explain the difference between our movies we do. I read most of the movie. I read almost all of my part. Your arc. And then I say ignore the rest. I say yes.

Then I read it. Then I go and this one's a long one. So we do a lot of stuff in it. And there are stunts and they said they just want it done the right way. But you know, the funny thing, you can attest to this. When you're doing stunts, sometimes they go, we got a stunt manager to the hardest part. and then they're piecing together. We've got to get a piece of you doing it.

And slowly, I'm doing the whole thing. Because they keep going, we need to the beginning and a little bit in the middle, and then at the end of it, just to make it look real. I'm doing everything. I'm doing it all. And this guy walks around. Slowly, which is sometimes harder. I mean, you've done all kinds of stuff.

Obviously, it's Wonder Woman. We can get into that. But I did agree with you. I think he said because I said, Tom Cruise hangs from airplanes. He goes underwater for 12 minutes. But the sprinting. If it's real, is his greatest stunt at his age to turn over like that. I don't know if the way they shoot it, but a full-out sprint is hard.

I think he's the best actor-runner, runner, professional. I don't know. He's got this hands up later. When it became super hard for me, I was like, okay, it was literally, if Tom does it, then I can try to do it too, you know? but I was lucky. I was prepping for this film for nine months, nine months of every day running

and doing like crazy things with your feet and walking on a rope and doing like all these different things to keep your feet strong. Okay. For nine months with a freaking Olympic trainer. So it was... Yeah, Malachi Davis, who ran a 44...

Running downhill is very dangerous. You can see. and break your neck. Oh, definitely. I was a runner in high school and college, so I kind of know, excuse me, I kind of know how this happens. This is fake.

I didn't even have a cigarette. But I was curious about that. We can talk about it now if you want, but that's extraordinary. And I do, honestly, I'm not blowing smoke. I love the premise of the movie. I love that the mom gets a call and then is being directed

because when you see it, and then you're sprinting, you're told where to go and you're kind of running all day, basically, or sprinting? Yeah. So when you read the script, it's not just sprinting because it's like,

the movie starts, she sprints, and then there's another piece of it where she really sprints. But then you need to start the day, and today we're filming a scene where she runs, but she's exhausted. So you need to have the level of exhaustion.

That part's easy. To tune it down and up, it's, I was watching going, okay, from the beginning, I was going, okay, here's a scene where she's not running. I know in her head she's like, oh, not running today. And then you get going, then she finally gets the call. I go, here we go, wait. I like when you go, wait, you want me to run five miles right now, run?

Yeah. And he's like, yeah, and here's your clock. And you're like, God, dang it. So I do think that's very cool. And I, you know, my wish, I wish I had Tom Cruise doing my stunts in a blonde wig. Yeah, because he's the best at it. And you know what, Dana? I think he does.

Do you got the nine cameras ready? I'm going to give it one as fast as I can. And I got maybe one more in me and that's it. Like, I don't think you can do that over and over how fast he goes. The mobility, we all know Tom's not a teenager. He's an incredible shape. but the mobility of the hip flexors, all this stuff has to happen

in your lower chain to be able to sprint. I'm kind of curious, did you ever do a day where the character is sort of just trying to cover miles, like running a six-minute mile for like an hour or stuff like that? Or was it sprinting, jogging, walking?

What's the whole world of the type of running you did? When I prepped? When you're in the movie, what we see, yeah. What you see in the, I mean, well, you're sprinting, and then sometimes you're kind of walking, jogging, you're tired? Yeah, I'm exhausted. But that was, we tried to be very methodical and technical about it because we knew that I'm not going to be able to give him 20 takes per same setup, you know? So we kept the important ones, and when we shot them, I really gave everything that I had.

and then the other ones I had a and I have an amazing stunt woman that I work with and she did some of the whites and all of the you know it's like what you do but I finished the movie

on crutches I finished the movie not being able to walk so not just so Tom is the best so Tom really Tom is the best okay that's not the only

second best yeah no I don't know but I haven't seen he only does it once or twice a movie you know.

Yeah. You have to do it a lot. And it is hard. And even a stuntman is like, they get burned out too. You can't just. She broke my stunt. Stani broke her feet as well. We both finished the movie on Crutche.

It was impossible to film, to listen. Listen. Let me tell you something. Here we go. Here we go. Even my amazing trainer who trains the, the, the American champion that won the metal gold for sprinting. He told me that runners, the train for the Olympics, they don't run so much.

You need to recover. The body needs time. We ran every day all day. It was sick. It was insane. Which I think essentially helped me with my character. Because she's so worn out and she is so out of herself and out of control that it just, you. you know, helped.

And then no one knew if it's going to work. Kevin McDonald's, our director, never shot anything like this. And he couldn't even talk to a filmmaker that done anything like this because no one filmed a movie when the entire movie, the actress has to run. So we were like, okay, how much can I run? We were talking to doctors. We were talking to different trainers.

How do we split it? But we made it through. And I'm so happy. And thank you for taking the time to watch the movie. movie this morning. Oh, well, we, we got it very late.

I didn't see all of it. Here we go. Here we go with the excuses. Obviously, I can see who's the professional here with the, like, printed notes and who has the white,

the yellow cord. Well, that's how I remember. My turn's better. I type these. I know. But I do this so I can memorize it. David's like this, the whole podcast.

Watch, looking up. So anyway, him I like. You're in the moment. I'm in the moment. What sign are you? What sign are you, Dana? You know, think of a schizophrenic.

Think of someone who's very introverted but also extroverted. Sort of a twin. Two twins. Ah, uh, you're Gemini. Yeah. Okay. And you're Virgo. David, I'm not.

Cancer. I just guessed. Cancer, like my husband. When? Uh, 22nd of July, right on the edge. Oh, he's the 23rd. You kind of came down. bit on that one.

June. Well, we're both on the egg. On the cusp. Yeah, cusp. I'm a tourist, guys. Oh, okay. The bull. The bull, right?

The life force. Oh, you're May 5th? No, I'm April 30th. Wasn't that a good guess, though? I really committed. Yeah, close enough. You knew the area. You studied.

You studied. I'm a tourist with a tourist horizon in the ox year. And I'm not stubborn whatsoever. Good God. And what's your husband? What's his sign? Cancer. Cancer.

Oh, cancer and a Taurus. Okay. I got it. Very homey. Very family-oriented. Yeah, there's so many. My brother's sign is feces. Oh, boy.

That's an old stand-up line. Some comedian. I don't know what. My sisters of Pisces, I'm a feces. Yeah, that was not my joke. David. cover me, do a joke. No, I watch that out.

I'll tell that I would, gal, that I was in a restaurant and this guy came up to me and said, can I pitch you a movie? He goes, I'm not even the pro writer and I don't have an agent, but I am a Leo and I know you're a Leo and we're good pies. And you're not a Leo. And he's pitching the whole thing and I'm like, dude, I'm not a Leo. That's all I could wait to say at the end. And then he just goes, oh, you're not?

I go, all right. And he walked away. I go, were you just guessing? thing? Like, because he got to the door and he goes, price beans. And I go, no, no, you're guessing. One in 12.

Allison and Kobe and Neil and Jason and you, you were so upbeat and gung-ho. The spirit that you guys had was like, I actually thought it was like, are you being, are you mocking this? Are you being sarcastic? Follow how he made your mother wherever you get your podcasts. What's your favorite movie that you've done so far?

You don't know. I'm just throwing that out for conversation. You don't have to answer any of these. His was Tommy Boy, Joe Dirt. Mine was Wayne's world. Tommy Boy is a good one with a small jacket. Yes. No, small jacket, big fat people.

Fat man with a little jacket. You guys were close, huh? From SNL. Yeah. Yeah. Dana was the good one on SNL. I came on with Farley. Dana was kind of the king running it.

And we came on with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock and Rob Schneider. Yeah, Mike Myers, John Lovitz, Phil Hartman. Yeah, these guys were the good guys and we came in. I feel like it's all there together. So fun. It's like truly a legendary generation of comedians. So fun. When did you go do it?

And were you scared and did you watch it when you were a little twirp in Israel? No, I've never, I, no. You didn't see it at all? I didn't see it. No, because they don't air it in Israel. And it's very, you know, it's America, it's American culture. I just wasn't exposed to it. And it's funny because when I was offered that, what?

She was going like this. American, you know, it's. You know, it's like, no, it's like, what I'm trying to say, it's like, you know, it's one of those national treasure type of shows, you know, but I wasn't exposed to it. I knew the name. It was familiar. I knew the concept, but I wasn't sure. Then I got the offer. And you didn't really know much at all when you got the offer? Wow, you didn't, oh, that's hardly knew. But my husband knew a lot of it. My husband used to study in New York and, like love the show, love that is 10 years older than me.

So it's like the generation. Not that like youngers, they watch it. I don't even know why I said that. It doesn't matter because it's like, oh, it's not a generational thing. Anyway, they asked me to do the show and Yaron told me this is the big, if you do S&L, it's like, that's it. You've made it in America. I'm like, sure, let's do the show.

And then I wasn't. She wasn't even scared. She's like, oh, then. Yeah, let's do the show. Then what happened? Yes, but big mistake. Okay? Big, huge, huge mistake because, well, first of all, I came and I think on a Monday or a Tuesday.

Yeah, we'd be Monday. They do all the pitches. Yeah. So you go into Lauren's room and everyone are there. Now, the people that worked with me back then didn't give me the context. So I'm just like, you know, going with the flow. Sure.

Right. Tell me what to do. Very positive, but no one tells me what to expect. And then I'm in Lauren's room and people are, one guy is like, okay, you and I, we're married. I'm going to have a baby together and da-da-da-da. And he goes on this thing and I'm like trying. And then the next one and the next one and the next one. And I'm like, oh, they're pitching me.

They're pitching me. Oh, you didn't even know that. Okay. No. everything was like, it sounds crazy. Wow. Completely in the dark.

Not to mention, I'm so embarrassed. People are going to think I'm not okay in the head. But I was telling people as we got closer, I said, wait a second, is it really live? Is it really live or is it like live to tape life? Is it live life? Right.

That is a question. It's not that dumb. It's live. Yeah. Okay, good. Right. And it was, and then I was like, okay, I'm going to do it. I'm just going to try to come as prepared as I can.

So I learned all of everything by heart the night before. So I didn't sleep. And everybody are telling me, don't, don't, don't read the cards. You can change. You can change the next day, right? Anyway, it was, it worked. It was good, it was like good, but it was way to, I was not ready whatsoever. But the people were incredible

Well, that is part of the secret Fun of SNL. You're watching a movie star or an athlete. People don't do, I'm not here. Do sketch comedy. Try to do sketch comedy because no one's putting pressure on you. Everyone knows you're just coming into this thing

and that's part of the fun of it. But I can't believe, usually there's an até Shea. It might have been Marcy Klein back in the day, but someone who would sort of guide you through the show and maybe tell you basically. SNL side. Someone should have

SNL. Did you have someone there with you? No, I had I didn't have someone there with me the whole time. No. Did you go along?

I bet it. I didn't remember. Who was the cast? Who was the cast when you posted? What year? What year and I'll be able to tell you? I'll look it up in my note. 2017.

No, 2017. 2017. Nope, it wasn't 2017. It was. It was 2025. It was Sam Smith was the music. So that one you would have, Cape McGinnon was still there.

Yes. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. You would have had Cecily Strong. 80 Bryant. Yes. Maybe Kristen Wigg, maybe.

No, Kristen wasn't there. She had left. She was gone by that? Wow. Hmm. And the men? The men. The men.

No. No. Hater had left, I think. right? Hayder wasn't there. No. But try more. I like this game. Oh, it's kind of fun. Not Bill Hater, not Fred Armisen. No. James Austin Johnson wasn't there yet.

No. From that cast. I can find out. Do you want me to find out? Let me Google it. Yeah, we'll pause the podcast for a minute. And how was your... No, I love you looking it up while we're talking. How is your monologue? Let's ask her her monologue. How is what?

Was your monologue about Wonder Woman? Or what was it about? First of all, it was the first time they broadcast it to Israel. So it was like Israel and alo and falafel and hummus jokes. And it was... The whole thing is directed only to Israel. To Israel? No, it was like, this is the first time.

It's also being broadcast to Israel. And then I said a few words in Hebrew. And then I said something about, you know, Israeli food. and then it was probably Wonder Woman and stuff. I don't remember, guys, the amount of pressure you guys were gross. Was it overall a fun monologue? Was that a scary part or was that kind of the fun part because it's just you reading the cards?

No, it was nerve-wracking. Because I have, I get in front of many people, I have stage right. Sure. And someone told me right before, as I was about to come out, she came to say, Stephen Spielberg came to see you tonight. Oh, why would someone? Why? Are you telling me this right now?

No, no, no, no, this moment never happened. So it was, you know, I was just a ball of stress that night. They should say that to every host. That would be a great idea. I remember when you were on now. I'm telling someone's out there. That you want them to fail. Yeah.

Christopher Nolan called me right as you were starting your show. Yeah, he's actually muted. I'm watching. Spielberg's there, but I'm watching. I go, thanks, Chris. Yeah. Do something about that boat. By the way, have you seen The Odyssey?

Yes. Did you get to watch it? I did. What an incredible film. Crazy. I know. I was exhausted watching it. I mean, it is.

extraordinary. How many people did, did, uh, got beaten up at the end. Um, that's, that giant's fight. It was like, that was extraordinary. But the thing about it is that it's just so much practical effects. That's a real book. David, you didn't watch it and you don't want to hear the end. No. And I was thinking how funny that I was watching Jaws this morning and that was Spielberg and how interesting Jaws is when you haven't seen it for a lot of time. Well, Jaws is a perfect movie. What was the pickup? Did you see Jaws?

I've seen it many years ago. Right, and I hadn't seen it since I was a little twerp, and I was like, it's so cool, the things now I know more about movies, literally everything. And so when I watch it, I'm like this. It's more fun, and it's actually better because of so many interesting things they do that I never would notice now. And so, which makes it more scary that Steven Spielberg is watching you.

I remember watching a documentary about Steven Spielberg. I don't know if you got to watch it. And it was, I think, I don't want to, I think it was about Jaws that he was having a hard time. I think that's the movie he's talking about it. And then he called all of his amazing filmmaker friends. And basically he goes, you know, just fake it to make it. I think it was George Lucas and all the biggies. Yeah, he had.

access to every big director. And he was saying, what do I do here? I think he was 27 with Jaws. I'm not sure. 28. It's a perfect movie. They're very rare. Shark go in the water.

Cage go in the water. Farewell, Linnardune, my wee Spanish. Maybe. Robert Shaw. But, yeah, Odyssey is an epic thing you kind of have to see. And so that's cool. Yeah. They, they, you got to watch it.

Yeah. Okay. Listen. So the movie that you're filming, did you run? Did you run downhill yet? I ran. I'm going to ask you something that they do in Europe that's a, a cheese run. Have you ever heard of this?

Cheese run. They roll a big circle of cheese down a hill and people chase it. I've seen it on YouTube. Oh, okay. I thought it was something. And a lot of people from the town. come out. Yeah.

I don't think. I don't even know what it's called. It does sound a little shaky. Anyway, all you need to know is it's, it's a bunch of people running. So. Okay. But they, we also have to do. So you survived it.

Everything is good. Listen, they said, I'm a perfect physical specimen. These are other people's words. And there's nothing I can't do. Other people's words. And so super talent. Brilliant, whatever. Other people's words.

My words. My words, not yours. But it's been fun. But, you know, the movies we do when there's straight comedies, I think you do a little both. And I think also like movies like Wonder Woman has comedy in it. You know what I mean? There's parts to keep it. It just has to have it because it's fun to have a little lightness.

It's life. It doesn't matter how dark or whatever the film is. You need to have some humor to keep it alive. I wish I would have more opportunities to do comedy. I feel like I haven't done that yet, and it's something I would love to do. Right, right. Well, just hold on a second.

Throwing it out there. No, the good news is. You guys, let's do something with the whole legendary, you know. The good news is a huge story. No, she's still a game for it. That's a good story. Red Notice was a huge movie on Netflix, I think. Right.

$230 million seconds and 4 billion seconds. And 4 billions of minutes. I don't even know what it means. I don't even know what it means. But it was like, I think it was first most watched

movie on Netflix for a long time until K-pop. Yeah. K-pop. They broke our record. They break every record, those guys. They're pretty amazing. I know some.

That's a cartoon. Nothing against them. It's a cartoon. It's a puppet show. Years was real. It's a lot of it. Yeah. Yeah.

Ours was real. We were the first movie to go back filming during COVID. So that was like, look at me in my shorts' hands. Look at you. How did you do that? That's like a special effect. Look like a T-Rex. Yeah, I have normal arms, you guys.

How did we do it? It was, yeah, it was insane. now that I think about it, how it was you, the rock and what Ryan Reynolds maybe? And Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, that was it. Yeah.

That seems to work. You know, Dana, she gained attention locally when she won what in 2004? Best newcomer? Miss Israel, do you know? Oh, I mean locally in Israel. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Miss Israel. Miss Israel. How was that? Yeah. Were you waving to everyone? I did. So now when you think about it.

How fun. It's dated. It was a lot of fun, actually. I was, where do I even begin? I was supposed to go to the Army and my service got pushed in six months. Did they push it because you won? They pushed it afterwards again because I won. Oh, like Elvis.

But like originally I was supposed to go to do my service. Then it got pushed in six months. Then my mom signed me up for the Miss Israel competition. And in Israel, back then in the beginning of 2000, it was considered to be like an amazing thing. It's not like. So I was like, yeah, I'll go for the experience. You get to travel somewhere with a group of offenders, blah, blah, blah.

I'll go for the experience. I'll get to tell my grandkids, grandma was competing in the Miss Israel. Then I won. And I was freaking out. Did not want to win. I took it way too seriously. Like I thought now I'm supposed to do all these things. Because, you know, they always talk about.

You got a job. Yeah. What do I do? What do you even do? What does that mean? I'd rather just win and split with the money. But then like, okay, tomorrow. No money.

No money. You don't get a money. Don't get any money. You get a car. Is it like an American? They try and see three. What? Is it like an American?

We have Miss USA and you have to wear a bathing suit and high heels. You have to walk out. And then they interview you. Is it like those kinds of things? Then I competed in Miss Universe. Oh, no. Against Arnold? Against Arnold's motion.

No, he was. I was Mr. Universe. She's Mrs. Universe. We should on. Yeah. We should make a.

We should make a baby out of the universe of mincemeat. You're really good with German accent. Well, anyone could do Arnold, let me tell you something. Let me tell you. You could be Wonder Woman. I'd be Hercules. We make a baby. I don't know.

Whatever. It's a good one. We should write that comedy together and cast a house. Yeah, I'm trying to think of a comedy. Yeah, don't worry. We're going to come up with comedies once we hang up. We're going to come up with a conference. I got to drag you into a body.

I love that. So what do you? So for a year of this is real. I completely did everything in order to make sure I'm not going to win because I was afraid of winning. Used to smoke in front of everybody. Smoke, eat cheese, pizzas, ice cream. Exactly. Yeah.

Being like a normal 18 year old. And did you achieve your goal? What place did you get? Special skills. Smoking. Didn't even make the. First round. She was like, see ya.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Palab Abdul was one of the judges and she asked me a question and I completely understood the question. Then I said, sorry. English, no speaking. Oh, wow.

I don't know what you're talking about. Well, that's a comedy movie. That's in a way. Someone trying to not win. I, me don't know. Why are you wearing overalls? No, no, English. Yeah.

Me no talk with what you say. I scared. And get. Yeah. Taking a dive in the Miss Universe content. Yes, took a dive. You could do Polymart today. You make a fortune if you had that information.

Oh, yeah, because you could probably be a top five. What is Polymart? It's something you can bet anything in the world. You could probably bet right now how long this podcast is going to last. It's a gambling site. An open gambling market. So people bet anything. Do you gamble there?

We're going to go to a commercial and take a quick break. Yeah, we'll be right back. While we tell her what not to ask us. Okay, okay, you don't have to untow me. That guy's a gambler. He's a gambler. No, I'm not. That polymarket is interesting to me because I'm not, I do do some sports stuff,

but when you can bet on like how long will that Taylor Swift concert be to the minute over or under this number, There's so many weird things people think of, and you can bet on real life, and things people already know. So there's somewhere someone that knows what color hat will this girl wear out on stage, and they can bet. So people are winning right now. It's very weird. I don't think it'll be around forever because it's so nuts that they're trying to stomp it out. But right now it's interesting.

Right. I probably gave it the worst explanation. No, I get it. We got the general gist. You got the gist. We got a feel for it. We got the gist. You know, the broad strokes.

You got the broad strokes. Yeah. The cliff notes. Tell it to me like I'm a four-year-old. Yeah. Tell it to me like I'm a two-year-old that got hit by a car. Hey, live sick. Okay.

Hmm. What else we got on here? We got, I like this. Well, we got, I want to hear about Vin Diesel. I just, uh, you do. I kind of, I love those fast-fastic periods. Hey, Finn. Uh, what did I miss?

I'm going to go have a smoke. go ahead. No, I love that Vin Diesel, one of those Fast and Furious, he's in a car flying across the canyon. Maybe he's upside down with a guy. They're just flying into nothing. They shot off this mountain and they're off a lot. And then Vin Diesel goes, this was always the plan. I'm like, what the thing? Not possible. This is always the plan. Do you know the amount of like feedback, comments, whatever that I get from people around the world? And I'm not just talking America here.

Like, think China, Thailand, right. Spain, Morocco. Huge global. It's a phenomenon. It's like whatever they managed to crack there. And you were in two of them or one of them? You were in six and 14.

Ah, you're not as professional as I thought you were. Give me, look down. Yeah, I look down. Stop connecting eyes with you. You scream at me. And then I came for a camera. six. It's serious and fast.

I came back from the last one. You're fast and slightly angry. You were in pretty fast and kind of per turn. Yeah. Were you in Tokyo Drift? No, that was number three. I think that was the one that's known as a

Bomb. Tokyo Drift was kind of funny. The bombed? Maybe because. It bombed only made a billion. Yeah. That's a Vindiesel bomb. This is kind of stupid.

In the world of today when Spider-Man makes freaking two billion. I know. No, it's still going. You can get me going. Yeah. I saw the trip. I saw the previous Spider-Man.

And I was like, that's how I found out I didn't get it. Because I saw it on previous. And I was like, oh, I guess. But I, that was the whole joke. All right. Also, I got it. I know. I like it.

Fast and furious when they said, you didn't hear about this, but one of the cast members, unfortunately passed away. and they were like, we got it. We got to do it. That's the last and the fast and the last one they were doing. And then that did the best because they say it's last. And then they go, it did so good.

We're going to do three more. And you go. You know, people do it all the time. Maybe they meant it at the time. And then they saw how well it did. But they announced one just last week. They announced another one last week. The actors do it all the time when they say this is my last film.

I'm not a long. It's a good trick. And then everybody wants to work with them. It's like a spin-up. It's a new one. Vin's baby is driving. No, they announce one where Vin Diesel's character goes to college. It's called The Fast and the Curious.

David? David, take over. Save it for gal's next mom. Fake it away. Vin Diesel goes to Community College, the Fast and the Curious. That was the first movie I've ever done in my entire career. second project I've ever done and first film I ever did you take any kind of acting or you're just a natural they just said come on I have like I I always worked with like a one

one with coach yeah okay yeah but you didn't go to some insecurity uh I don't know if you studied acting but I always have this insecurity of the you know um No, there's a syndrome. Imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome. And I'm like, when are they going to realize? Blah, blah, blah. So, yeah, I'm always working with someone.

Right. She goes, I've seen your movies. I have a question. Have you guys ever taken acting class? Yeah, fuck off. I'm not sure. We clearly haven't, if you've seen our movies. No, we clearly have not had any formal training.

if you've seen the particular things were. I will tell you, gal, just to waste your fucking time, and we can cut it out. But when I was, I started at the improv doing stand-up when I was like 20, and then I just looked younger than these regular comics, and I wasn't even that good. But they, this director came in,

this woman who was great, and she was an actress, and she said, I have a movie, I need a lead to play high school, but no one can do it. And you look like high school, and it's a comedy. You have to do it. and she goes, can you just come over tomorrow and talk about it?

Wink. But I was so naive. Anyway, I went over there and she goes, read it. I didn't know how to read or anything, but I was like holding the script and kind of reading it. She was, no, try to act it out, walk with it and just kind of look at it. And I do it. And she goes, I can't give it to you because you're not ready.

And I was like, and she goes, I'm going to give you an acting teacher. You will be good. You just have to know some basics. And she was like, I'm so mad. I want to just do it with you. And I was, it killed me. It did help me. But it was such a brutal because I had it.

But then you realized that was something you wanted to do as well. Well, I was doing standup and I wanted to do more than that and do more. I actually sound stupid. I wouldn't do sitcoms because I grew up on them. And then when this. I used to go to sleep with your sitcom. Oh, go ahead. Continue.

Quiet, man. Which one? Rules of engagement or the first one? Oh, yeah. Just shoot me or? Just shoot me. Oh. That was a great one.

Was that in America or that other place? In Israel. Okay. And it got all the way over there. Yeah, it got all the way over there. I'm going to go over there and visit now. Every night, prime night, prime time as well. Woo!

I love it. 9.30 or 10 p.m. Oh, that's great. Think back to the classic treats that made hot days instantly better.

Now available online at five-hour energy.com or Amazon. Did you have to audition for Wonder Woman? Yeah. I would assume that that's a good question. I would assume they went. They cast me based on all the movies that fast and furious. Yeah. They're like, you're Wonder Woman.

I am. I almost quit acting because it was like the rejection. I was never like I was planning. I was never planning on becoming an actress. So you did audition then for Wonder Woman. Of course I auditioned for it. Oh really? I thought they'd just go, you're Wonder Woman.

Was it director meeting or on the fast? Read, read, read. It was, they told me there was a very confidential big auditioning. Warner Brothers want to see me for. I came in a room with the casting director and Zach Snyder, the director. And I did a scene that. that nowadays, like afterwards, only afterwards, I realized it was a scene from Pulp Fiction. And then went back to Israel thinking I'm never going to come back to Hollywood to do it because I got too many rejection.

Too many, two close ones and then rejection. Yeah, yeah, very good. And I already had a daughter who was two. I was like, this is insane to go back there. But then they called me to come and do a callback with Ben Affleck. And I came and I got the court. Wait, was Wonder Woman with, was it Justice League first? And then your own?

No, Batman versus Superman first, then, Wonder Woman? Yeah. When you got, you know, in the wardrobe department and you get the, you get into Wonder Woman, you got the thing on, no, I'm just wondering if you looked in the mirror and went, I'm Wonder Woman. I mean, there was not like, I'm Wonder Woman, like a person with like a, a mental issue. Damn, girl.

I was like, holy shit, how could it be that this little girl from the Middle East, okay? America, to me, I grew up, and America was, still is, you know, the land of opportunities, blah, blah, blah. I'm playing this iconic American bigger. How did that, like, insane. It was amazing. It was like bigger than me. I watched it growing up. It was a big deal.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. How amazing it is that? Linda Carter. Linda Carter. And you know, it ran, I think, for two years or something. That was it? That's it.

That's it. Really? Two or three years. We can check it. Makes an impression. Wow. When you say, do I look good in this outfit? And then you have to put your golden lasso on people to get the real answer?

Yeah, all the time. I use it for someone. Oh, yeah. They tell the truth that. All right. We're taking that out of your monologue. it's not that. We're going to tie your mom.

Well, when I got it, I did Wayne's World. They put all the stuff on me. I looked in the mirror and I go, I'm Garth. Yeah. No, I actually went, I'm Gar. How did that come about? Did you write it for yourself? Was it a script that was sent to you?

It was a sketch. Mike Myers came into SNL and had a sketch Wayne's World, but he didn't have a sidekick. And Lauren Michael said, I think you might want to have a sidekick. And I was baby-faced for my age, I don't like David. So Mike said, you can be Garth.

And the only thing he said was Garth Diggs Wayne. So I went in the wardrobe apartment because he was brown hair. I got a blonde wig. I got these glasses. I remember. Wayne's world. Yeah. Yeah.

Too cute. He did it on SNL for a while. And then they spun it off into a movie. I don't even know. Yeah. That's amazing. We did two movies. And, yeah, I was able to write my little Garth parts.

But I was the sidekick. I was like Robin. He was Batman, but it was fun. Do you feel like the industry completely changed, completely shifted? Yes. Well, there's so much content. There's a million shows. When we're talking about that era. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Now. Well, there was no wokeness or political correctness back then. Oh, my gosh. You just could do comedies and they'd be a little offense or whatever. Wainsborough was pretty innocent. We don't do drugs or anything. But yeah, completely different time.

We were used. It wasn't digital film. You had real, you know, it was like he did Tommy Boy a couple years later with Chris Farley. I couldn't describe how different it is. But now everyone can make a movie. Everyone can get a, on their iPhone and put it on Instagram or YouTube. I don't know. Yeah. It was an innocent time in many ways.

Yeah. I think. Well, how would you describe it, David, the difference between early Hollywood in the 90s to now? It's a good question. By the way, mine was similar with Dan. where Chris Farley and I just worked together and we're hung out a lot and Lauren said let's write them a movie the way they are in real life

and so that was the same thing from SNL got SNL SNL writers and then he had a deal Paramount and just said we'll green light it let's go and it was pretty easy process especially back then a lot harder to get movies now and then there's that woke part that comes in

but you know and theaters versus live stream Oh yeah a lot of do you think it's gonna balance like do you think woke will like you know people will stop being you know that was sensitive

when they did what happened when they did you don't have to even answer this but in Snow White was there when people start changing like a movie that was the same and the new one is different I think that was where someone noticed

why are you changing because they're still doing it you know they what was different I don't understand what was different well they were saying well I thought Oh, maybe the only part was, and I may be wrong. No, no, tell me.

Were the dwarfs, they didn't want to use dwarves. Is that crazy? I don't know. Oh, they wanted to use, by the way, I'm not supposed to call them, you're not supposed to call them dwarfs, you're supposed to call them magical creatures. Oh, okay. I have a very good friend who is a dwarf who wants to be called a dwarf. Oh, really?

Yeah, by the way. Brad Williams, he's a stand-up comic. He's brilliant. Right. Little magical creatures in the movie or in the movie? In the movie. Oh, in the movie. Oh, you could say.

Because they were, I wasn't allowed. It was so, I think we're a little bit lost in translation. I think the needle is, and I get it, it shifts. It goes too much and then it goes back to the center, whatever. But I think that the movie was very similar other than, you know, by the way in the animation the dwarfs are animated and they kept them animated

in this one too so I think that like story wise and everything the story was kept super original yeah no it was very much like the original one right there are other movies where they start to change things

since then and that wasn't that long ago but there's been changes where people go, why are you changing that? Why are you changing? Yeah. Yeah, it's true. Odyssey took some flack for that. Yeah, but then you go and you watch the movie and you're like,

and you kind of forget about it. If you never heard anything. You don't care. Yeah. Exactly. I feel like the noise we're hearing is mostly created online. Usually I think it's like I have, it's not even a conspiracy. I know that it's true.

there's like other forces that are not American and not Western or use social media and all of that to kind of create chaos in our lives and they manage to do so. And they do it in all different ways. Yeah, they do it when they use hate campaigns towards Snow White or whatever or hate campaigns towards musicians or politicians or whatever. Just to create chaos, to create. And I agree.

Yeah. Yeah. It seems like something like that, like even Snow White, but a lot of movies, where when they decide to go after one, they pile on. Like it's not even like, no one even wants to say. And they do it. Yeah. They do it so smart. And we became so superficial that we just followed the word.

We're like, no, it's a bad movie. Right. It's just once people. You know what I mean? You get a stringent. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't go on social media myself because it's so toxic.

But do you go on it? Do you have an Instagram account? Can I? Yeah. Okay, I'm going to look at it. Yeah, follow me with the account you don't have. Yeah, nice job, Dana. You got to.

I'm on it. You're surprised you. No, I know. Dave, do you follow me? I'm about to, yeah. He's clicking on now, Heather. Well, I had to get a feel for you and make sure, you know. We want to get to know our people before we've.

Well, there are people who don't do it. They don't do it. There's famous people. I'm not sure. You don't even want to know how many she has. This is, this is, this is, let me guess. Let me guess. We got to hang up on. I mean followers on Instagram? Yes. Yeah. I'm going to channel. I'm going to channel it to you.

Wonder Woman, Justice League. Okay. Fast and Furious. You're about to be wrong. I'm going to say 90 million. That's so high, by the way. That is so. How close am I?

Hugely high. How close? You guess that high. You're missing 13, I think, or so. Okay. 103 million. It's just the way my. mind works you know it's you look it up no it's our connection no because i'm i'm seeing this person

in looking at her resume and thinking where she sits in the universe of show business and i came up with 90 million where do i sit in the business of show business well you're you're like you're like shon conray or something you know you're iconic oh my god you're the best thank you on that's like Now you returned the sexy compliment they gave you at the beginning. Now we went to-Sahomerare. Thank you. Yeah. Sean Connery.

Have you seen that clip on YouTube or something? I think it's the second James Bond and they're playing Baccarat and they're doing this stuff. And he goes, what do we call you? And they go to Sean Conry and he's doing the talking with the cigarette hanging out. Bond. James Bond. And it's so cool that Quentin Tarantino or it was Brad Pitt's idea to do the same move when he played

Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's with the dog. Now, don't wine. Don't wine. He's got the cigarette, the coolest move. But Sean Connery is a singularity. That's to say, I mean, there's not another, who's you right now in the whole. You have your own sort of thing.

You have a thing you do and where you're from. There's more like me. Come on. Really? But, yeah. By the way, I'm still rock from Instagram. Now I'm nervous to talk to you. I mean, who's you?

Do you spend time on a... No, you know what? You were nice when you saw my puncy $3 million and you go, that's good like I was a puppy. You go, that's a lot for you. That's a good start. I literally watch this like... What's that?

It's a big number. For me, yeah. I'm just looking... It is good. You know, don't compare and despair. The whole thing is made to make you feel bad. All social media because you can... You can't feel bad for her.

You have 100 million. They train the robots to get views. And the robots came back. They said, what'd you find? If you make them angry, you get a lot more clicks. Or very super personal stuff. You know, either one. I animate as I speak, but that doesn't really matter.

Gal, we better wrap. Yeah, it's been very nice to be with us. No, we got it. It's been so great. You're fine, actually. Let's do something together. Seriously. Now let's cut that blah, blah, blah.

But I would love to do some big fun. Let's think of a funny movie. You should be in a movie. You're funny and you have a great sense of humor. So, you know, they're describing this movie. Two movies I love, Taken. I have skills. I've acquired.

They make me a nightmare for a man. Good luck. Such as yourself. And the equalizer. All right. All right. Okay. Okay.

Okay. We're going to do this. All right. All right. My man. I'm going to take you out. And I Tart starts his watch. So I'm going to watch this movie.

Even if you weren't in it, I just like that. I like it. I like that type of a thriller, the runner. I like the premise. I like thrillers like that. I like brain candy. I try to calm my brain down. My wife and I watch a lot of movies.

Yeah, that was the finest part in the film, the twist at the end. Don't you think? David, did you see it coming? I'm not giving any way after you gave way the Odyssey. I'm not giving it. We didn't. Didn't say. Really, nobody fought at the end?

Nobody what? Nobody fought. Okay, but of course I have ears. I have a script here on my desk and it could do it. Okay, but I just catched. Your sign is Leo and I. Well, this movie is might be for you because you're doing The Runner, right? This script, the title of the movie movie is the squatter.

Or you have to squat. You squat. No, she stays in someone's house and she won't move out of our house. Let's do it. I love it. It's contained. It's cheap. Anybody would do it.
