This is a HeadGum Podcast. So I am hosting the Big Shorts basketball game to attract Adam Sandler to play basketball with me. We're playing basketball. I pitch him on my movie, 18 even crazier nights. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. This was successful. You did lure the Sandman

into your basketball tournament with this method or you were intending to pitch him the movie when he showed up. I'm in the process of certainly of in he showed up i'm in the process of certainly of in the story i'm in the process of putting together the game big shorts basketball game what you said i have to find some big shorts what you said was i'm hosting you said i'm hosting and

then you said i pitch him that's what that's my plan for what to do in the game at this point in the story you didn't say i was you didn't say you were planning to pitch him and That's my plan for what to do in the game. At this point in the story, I'm hosting this game. You didn't say you were planning to pitch him. And can I tell you what I think is a crucial flaw in the plan? Adam wants to have the biggest shorts on the court. So thank you so much for, I mean, kind of blows the end of my story,

but I... Adam's not going to come to a game where other people have big shorts. I said, first, I'm going to have to get some huge shorts. My plan was like, if, if I can find the biggest shorts, then Adam will,

will have to come. If I build, if I build the shorts, he will come. I find shorts from the Macy day parade for the float, from the toy story pig. When he was in his own movie called pool pig and he's wearing uh swimming shorts shorts no that's those are trunks okay so again skipping to the other

story this is this was another issue but i get these shorts they're huge the short the basketball court has become basketball short that's how big these shorts are and he shows up and he's like these shirt like i kind of like having the biggest shorts and those aren't even shorts okay those are drunks and that really takes the wind out of your sails in terms of pitching 18 even crazier nights. Yeah. We have a guest here who makes movies, not unlike the Sandman. She just made her own movie coming out tomorrow. Can we get a taste of possibly what the movie would be? And maybe an even more powerful producer than the Sandman. We have Natalie Morales.

Say hello, Natalie. Oh, my God. Hello. Those are those are pretty big shorts to fill. So thank you. Okay. Okay. Guys, I've missed you.

I really did. Right? I missed you so much. Hey, I... We could feel it. I woke up in a cold sweat. I said, Kevin, text Natalie. Is it because of all the incessant tweets you were getting, begging for me to be back on the show?

Is that why? You get those tweets. No, I see. You're also added on those tweets. There are replies to you as well. Well, then can I say this, Natalie? And would you do me this kindness? We get those tweets.

That's true. We do. We do get those tweets. That's a communal experience. That's tweets. That's a communal experience. That's our family dinner table is the tweets. I'm happy to be here. I do what my public wants. So I'm here.

Publicist. You didn't finish the word. No, just the public. Our public. My public. People still say that, right? Natalie. Yes, Hayes?

My public. Last time you did the show, you told a story about cum. I did? The famous cum story. That may not have been... Was that the last time or was that the time before? Two times ago. You mean I'm coming on you. Two times ago. Yeah, I'm coming on you.

Yes. I feel like it's not a story about cum, you guys. I feel like it's a story about David Caruso not quite knowing what he was saying. Let's just be clear. Okay, it's the one word. It's the one irreplaceable word in the story. Anya, I would say.

That's a name you can't change. I can replace that. Proper noun? What if you replace it with everywhere? Yeah. What if her name was everywhere? What if her name was in my jeans? What?

You know what I mean? You got to think about that. I don't know what you mean. No. If the character's name was in my jeans. Oh, oh, oh. You mean somebody is. I thought you meant the character's name was in your jeans,

like sewn on or written on your jeans, but you're saying the character's name is in my jeans. If I was cast as the character in my jeans, I would have a signature pair of jeans where my name was sewn onto the back pocket. Right. Okay, I understand now.

Just for me to inform my character. I understand. You're saying that David Caruso could have walked in and said, I'm coming in my jeans. Yes. Right, yeah. Then we got to talk to wardrobe. Then you came on this show again to apologize

for telling what had been an exclusive story for our show on Seth Meyers' show and your search for clout. Proprietary content. Well, listen, it's not clout it's you know a bigger audience that's all some people on their way up the ladder will reach down and try to pull up their friends and they'll say maybe they would say they'd say seth i have a story for you that i told on a very funny podcast that everyone should check out yes and. And I'll let them tell it.

Here they are. Here's what you don't know is that I did say that they just edit these things out, you guys. They edit the unimportant little details out. So I'm sorry. Seth. And our feud with Seth continues. And you'll notice he's not here.

No. No, he's not here. No, no, he's not. His absence. Is deafening. Then you told another came on the show again to apologize. You told another story about. Turning your face inside out. Right.

Turned out that that was a story that you'd already told on Spawned. Well we found that one on Spawned which that was very close to home. Guys I can't remember everything I say all the time to who I say it. I'm a person of the world. I talk to people. And so we decided that knowing that obviously you can't remember

anything you say or any promise you make that instead of exclusivity it is going to be about volume. So we're going to just have you tell 10 15 stories later on very interesting stories all anybody the other thing is you do our show and all anybody wants to fucking talk about after these episodes come out is natalie's stories and that oh and natalie told that funny story the david caruso story was legendary oh the face story i think i heard it on spot and it was even longer there but always down to listen to it again and what happens is it's not our show anymore you make it your show so haze and i more than

happy to take the back seat today i will kick back let's hear some good funny natalie stories and hopefully we'll sell them as nfts at the end of the episode oh guys i didn't come prepared with like a volume of stories okay we'll do something else first coming while you think to you guys while you have other stuff we have a lot of stuff to do and this may generate stories actually yeah i'm sure it will you guys are very inspiring we have a segment that we'd like to do with you special just for you you're the first person to ever do it and it's called hollywood handbook calendar girl oh boy what do you think this segment is natalie oh boy um you know i think like a layman someone who doesn't you know who isn't as good of buds with you guys as i am might might get the wrong idea and they might think like oh you know you want me

to pose for a 12 month calendar right? There are no wrong ideas. Sure. I don't think it's that. I know you guys to be you know respectful men. That is the gardener who just arrived at my house at 5

23 p.m. for no reason. The night gardener. Specifically to garden while I was doing this podcast. So, excuse. Got to weed whack the succulents. I mean, here's a story. Fire up the weed whacker and those succulents are toast. And that is not what we wanted to do, the 12-month calendar thing.

Kevin did pitch a page-a-day calendar shoot, which I think is... Well, just the work, the labor involved. he wanted it to be that's too much he wanted it to be you full full fire person gear and posing by the truck going down the pole at the station showing us it's not a mess hall right it's just a kitchen but at any rate he wanted to be like a firehouse thing but yeah i would do like a 365 calendar if it was like a flip book thing because then the photo session would be really fast you know then it would just be click click click click and then you'd be out of there so i guess to answer yeah to answer my to answer your question what do i think that the calendar the hollywood hamb calendar girl is? I truly don't know.

I don't know what it could be. I would love to tell you. Well, to honor you, actually, you gave us the idea for this segment. It was inspired entirely by you. You sent an email that got our wheels turning at one point. And Kevin, do you happen to have that with you?

Oh, no. Yes. Okay. I'm just going to read it. I said April 2nd of this year. Hi, Natalie. I hope you're doing well. Sean and Hayes would love to have you back on Hollywood Handbook. Are you free this upcoming Wednesday or Thursday at 1? Or Thursday slash Friday the following week, parentheses, the 15th and 16th at 1.

I can get some more dates if those don't work. Then a week later, April 9th. Hi, Natalie. Just following up to see if Friday, April 23rd at 1 would work for you. Notice how Kevin gives himself this very dashing voice in all his emails. Hey, Natalie.

Doesn't use his real voice. Hey. And then Natalie... voice in all his emails hey natalie doesn't use his real voice hey and then natalie natalie responded friday april 9th hi kevin nice to hear from you i'm totally slammed this whole month i'll be a little freer come may if that works for you guys so so we just let's get a look at april you know i think it'll be interesting you know that's the whole purpose of this podcast right is to provide some transparency i mean as much as it is funny come stories there's also i think people get a real benefit and an education about the life of a hollywood

mover shaker producer director actor right and and so maybe day by day we could look at able and and for the future too we could see if we can actually carve out a moment where we could have squeezed in a record right right right so okay so are you saying you want me to look through my calendar and tell you what it is i was so slammed with you're the calendar girl you're the official calendar girl i see okay i i can explain this to you very easily so like you said for us movers and shakers the thing the thing is um is that we're pretty much always slammed and sometimes people say that just as an excuse to like not hang out with people you know i hate that i'm so busy i'm slammed right right right that wasn't me as you noted that

wasn't me i responded very kindly to kevin and i and i gave him some alternate dates sure there were a month later but i i knew when i would be freer as he said so in the month and here you are yeah here i am and it. And we're in May. She really is a calendar girl. I am. The movie that comes out tomorrow. She knows exactly what month. The movie that comes out tomorrow that you talked about,

it's called Plan B. It's a movie I directed. And I was finishing the post on that, which meant that I was... Sorry, so for people who don't know, this is a movie about Brad Pitt starting his production company. It's not. It's not that at all um it's pronounced i think it's pronounced planned right that's brad pitt's production company is pronounced plamb and then this movie

is plan b which is about you know the birth emergency birth control the space okay um it's a it's an r-rated teen comedy out on hulu tomorrow you're gonna love it can i say a real issue i have with this movie oh which is god please yeah that i've been seeing you know people asking questions online people asking like what are the chances of plan b failing and who's asked that who who i think like So it's a lot of Yahoo Answers users. Yeah. Oh, you don't mean the movie failing. You mean the pill.

Well, people are responding 0%. Yes. And so that is- It's confusing. Because they mean the movie. That's causing real issues. Yeah, they mean the movie. It could become a health crisis, actually,

because people believe there's a 0% chance of Plan B failing, and they confuse your movie with the medication. You have to say plan B the movie, I guess, is the thing. I mean, you know, hashtag wise. No, don't. I mean, have some like ambitions. Change it to plan B the whatever, you know, whatever it is. No, no, I'm not saying I'm going to change the title.

I'm just saying when you talk about it, you got to change it, you know. Okay. So anyway, I was finishing that movie. I was editing and I was doing all the thing. You were in post? I was post on the movie. I was finishing the edit when Kevin sent me that, which was very, very tight, insane schedule

because the movie comes out tomorrow. So finishing the edit in Aprilil is uh is very very tight schedule okay april 1st was a thursday walk us through it april 1st as you know of course april fools yes for whoever of comedy such as yourself yes i feel like you're booked right right right i remember something bad happening around that day socially culturally in the world and nobody felt much like april fooling anybody okay which as you know because i'm a comedy person much to my dismay and my sort of my take is that's when people need me the most let's see let's see i'm gonna i'm gonna open my calendar and see what i was doing april 1st um okay that's

kind of when i need to step up we're gonna go through through just the thursdays and fridays yes yeah on my calendar i have look at this april fool's day and gardner so it would have been the same problem oh and he came back yeah and um there's a bit of an apology by now all day all day editing on that day yeah god killing your darlings that was a i mean what what did you cut that day like did you lose a moment that you loved you know't. Very honestly, I didn't lose a single moment that I loved dearly in this movie. I'm very happy about that. Wow.

Yeah. Nursing your darlings. Nurse, yeah. That's good. That's good. Feed your darlings. Do you think that Calendar Girl is going to be like a popular segment on your show?

Because this, moving forward. It feels a little drudgy and like, you know, just like. We're only one day in you know i i mean do you do you want to talk about some of the april fool's day pranks that you had to sort of save for next year i know if you let me finish the question i was asking which ones you didn't do that you had planned on prior to the big social problems that happened um i don't remember you know i'm a i'm a wing it kind of pranker so i come up with you know pranks on the fly and so i didn't plant pre-plan anything that's not good pranks you don't know you've never been pranked by me or maybe this is one long prank

pranks on the fly yeah me and me and cluny we we do this we do this thing together we we prank on the fly it's our way of you know letting loose in this business and um you think if Ashton and Dax had walked into MTV and said hey we're gonna do uh Punk'd and uh we'll just figure it out as we go that we would have some of the iconic mean moments that we have seared into the collective pop culture memory. Timberlake crying. There were some really mean moments on that show. I remember one of the meanest ones I can think of. I think it was Jesse Metcalf, I want to say, who they told him he was auditioning for a big superhero role.

And then they put him in this suit with like all these like motion capture balls on it and they made him writhe around the floor and act insane and then they were like you're pranked yeah you're not in the movie so horrible the industry related ones i also remember being unusually cruel one that i i i believe i'm remembering this correctly is they brought Jennifer Love Hewitt in to meet with a writer who was like you're gonna be the star of this movie and I think it was a little bit like her movie stardom was fading and she was about to transition into TV and they start pitching this movie the whole idea is like it's the worst movie you've ever heard but she the whole time is going like okay yeah yeah that okay that could be

cool and and then like she just is nice the whole time she walks and they go just kidding there's no movie that movie would be terrible she's like oh all right it's like it's so cruel it's so awful yeah that one was pretty bad oh i think about jesse metcalf the reason i know it's him i don't know um no no diss to jesse metcalf i don't know anything else he's done except for this episode of of that but the reason i know his name and it because it's seared in my brain is every weird audition i've ever had to do i think about him like oh no what if this is a prank am i getting jesse metcalf put this on YouTube? Yeah. He was John Tucker Must Die. Yeah, John Tucker Must Die.

Oh, right. I never saw that movie, but I remember it. Yes. Yeah. He was John Tucker in that movie, I'm guessing. He may have canoodled with one of the Desperate Housewives. Am I misremembering? No, you are not, my friend.

I think that's why I vaguely knew. With Serial Lane. Yes. And a tip of that to you, good sir, winning the internet this day and to you as well. Natalie, reddit gold for you,

my friend. Yes. Did you think of any story? Not yet. I'm sorry. You guys have no story. I want to inspire any. I want to be present

while I'm talking to you. Well, you just mentioned some awkward auditions where you thought you may have been getting jesse metcalf can i get some of the inside details from one of these um does it matter that i've said it before where i don't remember where was it remember you guys you just have to think of more original questions because people have, smaller, or the same. Because people have asked me, what's your worst audition? And then I have a story for it. So you just have to think of more unusual questions is all.

But it is a good story if you want to hear it. Just do it. You want it. You know you want it. It's not exclusivity because you're taking this stuff out all over town, apparently. Yeah, yeah. It is volume. We need to get this on the books. Are right. All right. Ready on the books.

Yes. Are you guys going to interrupt me a bunch or just a little? I have some preplanned bits. Okay. Okay. No matter what. Right. What the story is.

I'm going to be quiet. I have one huge interruption, but it will stop you from finishing the story entirely. Okay. Great. All right. so early on in my career this is 100 true 100 true i'm not even kidding early on in my acting career i was sent an audition to um to play a a the character name was prostitute number two and. And I think I had one line, which was maybe like, ow, because she gets killed. And that's all it was, right? And so it was like at 8 a.m.

Ow, my life. Ow! Yeah. Ow, I'm dead. Yeah. So it was like at 8 a.m. And it was in Beverly Hills. And I was dressed accordingly at 8 a.m and it was in beverly hills and i was dressed uh accordingly

at 8 a.m and i had to park very far and so i was dressed for the part and i walked all the way to this audition and i waited forever and then i got in is that normal what which part did you i mean like you know they want you to come and read the Krampus or something. You dress all the way up like the Krampus. You have to become the Krampus. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you want the part, you got to go for it.

Right. You can't look like a schoolmarm when you're auditioning for a hooker. When Kevin's you say you're dressed for the part. And I see Kevin's wheels turning. He's picturing like, oh, yeah, big red helmet. Fireproof flak jacket he's just picturing you getting all your gear axe over the shoulder and an extinguisher for the part of a prostitute to kevin that is oh for kevin is a sexuality kevin you know i also i also have a thing for firefighters i'm i'm with you oh hell yeah i share kevin thinks when the emergency vehicles are coming that the police car is chasing the fire truck for yeah for prostitution and that

that siren the police car has going is sort of like an ah like just like the like tongue rolling out yeah yeah that's what he believes is happening he told me that king of staten island is the sexiest movie he's ever seen oh man yeah which part which who is like buscemi of course but bush bill burr the bush the mars attacks all the bees all the bees uh-huh yeah plan b thank you um i have a quick question was the was the reaction the first time you told the story are people laughing are they like oh are they cheering like i just don't want to yeah what am i supposed to be doing i don't want to do something inappropriate no you can you know do what you feel, Kevin. I'm not here to tell you how to react or how to exist. Kevin, during a lot of stories, will go, yes.

If that's what Kevin wants to do, that's what Kevin wants to do. Okay, Kevin, let her react. Yeah. Go ahead. Okay, go ahead. Okay, so you follow me, right? I'm walking dressed like a hooker down, I don't know, Beverly Boulevard in Beverly Hills. And I go up to this place. They make me wait. and like dressed like a hooker down down i don't know beverly boulevard and and uh

I can't wait. Go ahead. I feel, I mean, I know it's not going to be, but when you say I'm going to have a big interruption for you, it sounds like it's going to be like poop or a fart or something. Well, I appreciate you not thinking that it's going to be that. Right, because you're a gentleman.

Okay, so I'm in the waiting room, and they finally bring me in. See the Guy Ritchie movie, The Gentleman? I didn't see that, no. Is that your big interruption? Is that some of my stuff? No, no, no. You finally bring me in. See the Guy Ritchie movie, The Gentleman? I didn't see that, no. Is that your big interruption? Is that some of my stuff? No, no, no. You just made me think of it.

Don't pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. And the question that I always get, people stop me and they say like, Hey, I trust you. I know when you endorse a product, it's something that you really use and care about. But there's one language that I'm trying to learn, and that's body language.

Can Babbel teach me body language? Yes. Babbel now has visual in-person lessons. Part of their quick 10-minute lessons that they do for other languages, handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks. Babbel is designed by real people for real conversations, and that includes body-based conversations.

What does it mean when you drop someone off after a nice date, and they turn around at the door and they take their little index finger and they kind of like draw it towards them they're pulling it what does that mean does their finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or something they're trying to pull down the spider down yeah but i've seen this too after a lot of dates. And I need and have needed something like Babbel to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger? Because it looks like an emergency. I know I was supposed to do something. Or how about those people that stand in the street?

They're kind of like, they've got almost like police clothes on it may be almost yeah and they're standing in the middle and as i'm driving and i'm cruising they're holding their hand up for like a high five almost and they're really aggressively like pushing it out i'm like am i supposed to drive get out of the car yes Or just do it out the window as I'm going? That's what I've been doing. That seems dangerous. But some of these very subtle body language cues have escaped me and many listeners, I'm sure.

You're talking about like ornate gowns you know in some cases and so that was uh yeah that was costing me a lot a lot a lot stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash the boys that's rocket money.com slash the boys rocket money.com slash the boys that handbook that's good this is a really good start for stories right that's a good story for the 18 even crazier stories

that we're doing today oh calendar girl and 18 crazier stories we did auditions we we've dabbled in set life before you've been on some very funny sets uh with some notorious pranksters uh anything from chris pratt any improvisations that didn't make the final cut some real goofs that just like did you ever break on camera chris pratt i mean mike mitchell told a story on here the other day where

he said chris pratt was mean to him when he announced there's a total unknown on this set so when no one is like paying attention to her no one was asking walked into the room and just like called all the attention to him and said that he was going to get a doritos locos tacos later and chris pratt said cool man yeah which apparently mitch has taken as like this huge uh insult to him yeah i believe what he's leaving out because i was there that day is that chris was mid-sentence it was telling a really sad story about something that happened to a friend of his and mitch sort of shoved him in the chest and went like i'm getting a doritos locos taco later

so that is some context that's missing but like did pratt ever do something like that with you that you know felt pretty rude there's anything at all anything he ever said we've learned that we that we can interpret we can get some burn off yeah no i'll say um i know you guys are trying to get volume here so micro micro story love a doritos locos taco they're delicious i get the vegetarian kind so great that's there you go micro story not the part of the story i would want to i'm just letting you know um and the answer unfortunately is no chris pratt was always really really really nice to me and did he yeah but did he do something that we can make it sound like it was yeah anything he ever said any conversation you ever had even once i mean i think you know he like you can misconstrue any any kind of like how are you today you know like you can it can he said oh did he say

that yeah oh yeah he did many times he many times was he like how are you yeah okay how are you today it's like tell me pal you obviously have an issue yeah right but i wonder if it was something in your performance that was making him be like who knows maybe he's trying to cut how are you right like is something going on with you yeah yeah like i'm not well yeah yeah that sucks anything else with the taco i guess since that seems to be what you have more that seemed to resonate with you more is there something i just had something to something to pull from there you know i get it i get it i get a doritos locos tacos supreme which just means that i think it just means that there's uh sour cream in it um supreme it should be should be supreme um sucreme it should be should be sucreme don't you hate it when people spell cream creme creme yeah yeah i hate it yeah that's only for creme notorious creme fresh but no but also

i see it in like um because they're spelling fresh f-r-a-i-c-h-e as well yeah right that's crazy at that point i'm just like what are we doing? It's another language, right? But I got these Oreo, you know, not Oreos things. And it said like sandwich cremes. And it's like, no. So that's story number four for you. How was Jared Leto? Oh, yeah. How was he?

Oh, boy. Oh, no. oh yeah how was he oh boy oh no and we seem to have stumbled upon a possible proprietary story kevin just like for all his uh problems that he creates in my life he is like kind of a problem solver he's a dowsing rod he's a his sniffer. His sniffer ain't broke, man. He's able to kind of pick out your weak spots. I want to tell you this so bad, but I don't think I can. Say, okay, just leave out. Just tell a story about an anonymous person. Yeah, so we'll cut out the name.

And just leave out who it's about. No. No, I don't think I can. Well, I probably can. Let me think. Let me think for a second. Let me just weigh the options of like. How's this?

Can you tell us, because we're kind of getting nothing with these stories you told, and you're sort of just talking about food, which is sort of like a Mike Mitchell thing. Hey, I'm not the interviewer. It's not my fault. Thankfully, I know that. And I am going to guide you now with a question that's going to get us somewhere can you tell us a fake story about a fake actor that could have happened on set but didn't and then we can we can in turn pretend or apply meaning to that story so that we

act like we got something out of you that we can actually use for the show? You just make me do all the work. It's the thing. Believe me, I know. I don't get paid for this. We had to set up a whole Patreon. We had to put our bank account in it. Yeah, I don't get paid for any of this, and you guys are just making me do all the work.

We offer TaskRabbit discounts. But then the poor TaskRabbits don't get paid. Well, that's me, so... Oh, okay. Yeah that's me so oh okay yeah i'm the only one on there i'm okay with that nobody else is using it no i you know what i will tell you the jared leto story and i and i will tell it i will tell it to you and it is proprietary although i reserve the right to tell it elsewhere if i fucking want to okay wow um just meow no this is our own wilson wow we do when somebody really oh oh i thought so um kevin i think is asking about jared leto because i worked with him on this movie called the little things that came out earlier this year and um i if you saw that movie um not only was i 75 of the things i did get cut from that movie supposedly for time but uh but also uh there's only one scene in which i interact with

mr leto who famously is a method actor um and in this movie is playing somewhat of a psychopath and so he was not hanging out with the other actors he wanted to walk through the set

from the back so I didn't see him beforehand and then I had a scene with him face to face um he did not um he only said hello to me um in his creepy psychopath voice once after we had start started shooting already did you say hi back no i you didn't say anything weird. I don't know that I was the weird one in that situation, but I just didn't understand. How to be a human being that could retain my own self-respect if I played into somebody pretending to be a psychopath with me when the cameras were off um i won't say he wasn't mean or anything he was uh he was just very very into his character and i guess his character also is a character that um never would say his lines

right so then like he also decided not to say any of the scripted lines, which left me as the actor somewhat confused as to how to respond, but it all worked out. He's actually, I think the best part of that movie. Although I really enjoyed working with Rami as well, but he's, he's very good in that movie,

but yeah, that was an audit. And then he, he also got, he also left through the back. So I had an entire day and scene with him in which the only interaction was a psychopath version of him smiling at me. Hello. From behind a gate saying hi. And and I didn't quite know how to respond to that

while not hating myself later. So I think I just said nothing. I think I just stared and was like, what? And then that was that. So that's my Jared Leto story. I don't know him that well at all. That's the most I know him. Because you've never seen him.

Well, I guess I don't know him. I only know Sparma, the character that's the most i know because you've never seen him well i guess i don't know him i only know i only know the psychopath barma the character that's in this movie yeah it's interesting yeah there's sort of like these terms like people will talk about an irish goodbye and that this was the psycho voice hello and correct and it's you know it's similar where you don't really get to interact. But what you did have said was nothing, which I think is commendable. What I did have said was nothing? What I did have said was nothing. Yes.

Mr. Birbiglia would applaud that. He would be jealous, of course. There's a plan B for you. I mean, honestly, plan B for you is check out some of Birbiglia stuff yeah plan berbiglia yeah that's that'll plan your whole weekend let me take this um little story and uh try to help you because that's part of what we do here as well now there's not a person among us who didn't that's part of what we do here as well now there's not a person among us who didn't

think franchise when they saw that film and i have a feeling this will not be your last scene with mr jared leto in psycho voice mode Okay. And you can sort of respond to us and it'll feel more familiar and more easy and comfortable when you do show up on set the next time. Right. So I'm not so taken aback by that. Yeah, okay. I mean, I appreciate it.

I appreciate it I appreciate it Is Sparma his First name Last name Or is his middle name Or it's his middle name And his name is Chicken Sparma Droud Hayes you didn't watch the movie

It had three Oscar winners in it Did they say that in the movie They said that All around the movie, not in the actual movie, but they definitely make it known in all of the promotion of the movie. And then my name is also there, but really tiny.

I had to turn it off because I thought it was going to be about the Bush song off that album, 16th Stone, that little thing. I thought it was going to be about the Good Charlotte song. So you were disappointed. Yeah.

What's your favorite? Hey, Sean, can I ask what your favorite song off of 16 Stone is? You're going to make me pick? I am. I want to know. I mean, I was a big Bush fan, too. Do you guys want to hear about the time I met Gavin Ross?

Now we got something wow he said hi the same way hi hi um i mean the easy answer is obviously glycerine i got into it through everything zen because that was like what got me like who is this i gotta see this but just because i'm such a big sports guy and probably the best sports song of all time is machine head machine head is a great song isn't it weird that they play that at stadiums now it's very strange but i do like that song oh yeah come down come down's my favorite that's a thinker oh you just sit down and stare at the speaker when that comes on just let it wash over you this person's telling you something for real for real yeah what's that um what was that like

guy that sat in a chair and got blown away by sound in that ad for like speakers yeah what was that yeah that's dilbert that's why his tie is like that that's permanently stuck his tie like that. I did miss you guys. You met Gavin Rossdale? Yeah, tell us about Gavin. I met Gavin Rossdale when I was, I want to say like 15. Wow.

And I was very- That's the time to meet him. Very, very, very into Bush. And my friend, my friend went with me and insisted that we go really, really early. And it was in like West Palm Beach. I'm from Miami. So it was a few hours away from my house. And we got there and we pulled up to the thing and nobody was there.

We pulled up to the tour bus and the tour bus was there and there was a crowd of people hanging around the tour bus. And I was like, these people just want to go inside. We shouldn't bother these people. Like, this is a weird way to meet someone. I felt very strange about it. And all these people were waiting around for them to get out of the tour bus. And I was like, I don't like this. I'm going to go,

I'm going to just hang out back here. And there was a back door to the tour bus and they all came out the back door and Gavin Rosdale saw me. And I went, and he, he put his, you know, his finger over his mouth and went,

and then walked in the back way. No one will ever believe you. I know. And then, and then, and then I was like, starst one will ever believe you um i know and then and then um and then i was like starstruck very very starstruck and then um i went back around to tell my friend and my of course as you said no one believed me um and i was like they're not they're not here it's okay we we can go and and so we we left we went and got some stuff can i just say yeah he asked you not to tell anyone.

No, he said, be quiet right now. That's how I interpreted it, which is what I did. I let them get inside safely. I let them get inside safely. Even this now. We did want you to tell stories. We did want you to tell 10 to 15 stories. We did not want them to be a betrayal.

No, no. I think someone shushing you means do not make noise right now it does not mean don't tell this story ever this is a secret forever yeah i i think your listeners then that really was the only time you met gavin because no it gets better okay it gets better you guys i'm in a bush music video wow i am so then we went we went and got some snacks and came back and hung out because there was nothing else to do and there was no mobile phones at the time and um and then they actually came out and said hi to everybody and gavin rossdale recognized me and went hey and weren't you back there and i was like yeah and he talked to me for a little while and i used to wear used to wear these little tiny thin rings on my thumb and I gave him one. And we took

a picture together, but I had a disposable camera and my friend who was there said I was smiling too hard. So I corrected my smile. That picture can be found on my Instagram account. It's at Natalie Morales loves you can check it out if you'd like my smile is terrible because i had just been told i was smiling too hard natalie morales loves that's an edit correct what do you mean that wasn't of course the original title for the instagram right the original title was natalie morales loves free stuff but i felt that was you know very materialistic so i changed it because i do just love also so then i gave him that ring and then i saw him wear it on trl like two days later and i was really excited wow wow yeah it was stuck it was

you know or he liked it one or the other how far do I have to scroll down to see this? I mean, you'll see it. It's a very young me. It's a very young me. I know, but how long ago? A couple years ago. I don't know. There's not that many things on my Instagram.

A couple years ago. You don't have to do it now. You could be a good host and just engage with me. Hayes, I'm drowning over here. Here it is yeah whoa hayes found oh wow yeah yeah you look really pissed yeah the smile is bad because uh i was told to correct it's not a smile at all you know it's bad yeah i look i look mad but he was very nice to me and i liked him very much well i guess that reminds me of a story that i don't know if i've

ever told before maybe i have where i went to see bush in concert second live concert ever first one was live a little confusing you saw live live i saw live live yes okay ed came out no shirt did all the songs he wanted to do rode around on a wheelchair on stage for some reason don't know what that was about but it was something to do anyway i go to see bush i buy a shirt buy a long sleeve t-shirt leaving wear the shirt to eighth grade a couple times no big deal uh not looking to get compliments but letting people know, your boy went to a concert. Little later on, some people by the pencil sharpener talking about going to see the Fugees, potentially. I say, oh, hey, I might be into that. Casey shoves me.

Nice try, Bush boy. You had declared your allegiance. That's right. Fugees aren aren't bad for you bush boy hey i got a suggestion to rearrange a couple of letters that's a bit you want to go see the goofies uh natalie you had something off of bush boy i was gonna say bush boy and calendar girl but i yeah you know i like bush boy i mean i know that it probably really hurt you at the time but i think it's something you can be proud of now now yes very proud to have been called bush boy and by by the way, and by the way, and by the way, Casey,

nice guy. Hope he's doing well. Yeah, I don't. I hope he rots. He was trying to, he was trying to figure it out like everybody else. And later that year,

when I got hit by a car, he told me that he thought about maybe giving me some free weed. Oh, Casey making up for his mistakes, man. When I heard you got hit by that pickup truck i thought maybe i bring by a little of the green stuff and ease the pain for you hey sean i i mean i i don't know if you've talked about it on this podcast because i don't listen to it but have you talked

I'm blasting the Fugees in my truck. So you're driving your truck down down the railroad tracks um sean where am i driving my truck through i guess i guess it's possible that you were trailing us the whole time i was trailing you i was blasting the fujis because i couldn't hear or see anything that's how loud the music was it's so loud and you sing it so passionately you your eyes are closed while you're driving and also when you're driving on the railroad tracks you don't really need to look you know you just feel your way through because it guides oh yeah the tracks so then yeah so we get to the pizza oh what are you having mr davenport it's on me i know you
