And my wife is doing something, like she has something planned, I don't know exactly. I can hear a little bustling in the other room, and it sounds like possibly some sort of band warming up.

Yeah, she's busy. Of course, we've left time for the romantic portion of the obviously yes i'm sure the band is paid until 11 p.m on the dot and then they get out and then from 11 to i i would assume three or four in the morning the two of you will make love in multiple positions and ideally it will end with one or both of you busting hey welcome to hollywood handbook and insider's guide to kicking butt kicking butt and dropping names on the red carpet line back always in this industry we call showbiz what up what up peter we've got him we've got the guy peter

I, you know, I've been told that I thank you so much for having me on. I've been told that I'm funny. Well, so have I, Peter.

So have I been told. Because now I'm getting... You're friends with Carl? Carl Tye, yeah. Very good friend of mine. So he's talking about my friend Peter is so funny. I'm friends with him too. Is he saying that to you about me? He has said it about both of you. Absolutely.

Yeah, yeah. They're so funny. They're very funny. Great guys. They know a lot about the industry, stuff like that. It talks about how funny you are, and it doesn't always feel great.

And Kevin's saying too that you're funny and that you know and it doesn't always feel great and kevin's saying too that you're funny and that you're friends with carl i would trade honestly i i do not care if he talks about me to other people as long as he's not talking about other people to me yeah yeah and can i tell you something else that happened to me today peter as i said to my wife who i love very much i said i'm going to record hollywood handbook today i know it's great it's me it's my life you know fucking rocks and i said to her hey you know at five o'clock i i have to um i have to record a podcast and she like wanted me to do something else some take care of my family or something and i said this is how i take care of my family or something. And I said, this is how I take care of my family.

And she said, oh, who's the guest? And I said, he's Carl's friend. It's Peter. And she said, oh, he's really funny. Oh, that's so nice of her. Well, how does my wife, what are you, what's going on here? I mean, I really, that's a strange question for me to answer. I don't know exactly what's going on here? I mean, I, I really, that's a strange question for me to answer. I don't know exactly what's going on here,

but I mean, I feel it's nice that your wife has heard of me and, and, and is she telling you that I'm funny at all? I've never had a single conversation with you. I haven't talked to her. I haven't talked to her. I've never met her. And she's,

yeah, but she's got your name in her mouth somehow. I, I would say maybe she saw me on a tv show or something like that on the show yeah oh yeah yeah sure uh no that sounds right that happens you know she's watching tv sometimes when i come in she's watching tv goes off really quick kicks off oh hi she got and i and she's got tears streaming down her face, but from laughing. Oh, okay. Well, that definitely won't

be anything that I've made. I think I've made some funny stuff, but maybe nothing that's going to really make someone cry. But, you know... What TV show? What TV show? I've been lucky enough. I did three seasons of Shameless.

Season 8, 9, nine and ten it's a great show it's an honor to be on that show i've been on uh it's been my honor to be on brooklyn nine nine they're absolutely running amok on both of those shows huh yes these are madcap shows people are absolutely going hog wild both of them the people on the shows i wouldn't trust them you know as far as i could throw them i i would just interject just to say at both shows in question people were wonderful and it was a real pleasure working with everyone it was a very collaborative i can only speak to what i've seen right and they're acting rather madcap i haven't worked on on those shows per se but i worked on in talks with some understanding them yeah i guess what i view them

i'm i'm at work right right you know i will just say that you know both shows um are emmy uh winning shows too uh so it's it's a high quality i'm not saying i'm not trying to pump myself up i'm just saying the the it's not a coincidence that you were on it and then they won an emmy and no but they want to maybe you i got no no way before i got on so i'm absolutely not saying they got on an Emmy. Once they got the Emmy, then they were able to get you. Her name is Emmy on there as well. She's very winning in addition to that.

What did you say? Emmy? Her name is Emmy on there. Her name's Emmy on there. You didn't know that. She's on the show. She didn't tell you? There's a girl named emmy on which show oh oh emma her name is emma not emmy

okay well i have to side with haze here and it's nothing personal it is of course just a relationship thing we've been working together forever you of course i mainly know through my wife laughing at you on tv and then turning the tv off when i come inside so i i'm obviously not going to take your side in this one yeah i i if i could just say

um i i'm sorry that uh you know it seems like you're you're a little bit uh like never apologize for making someone laugh no i apologize no matter what you say if it's a joke you then even if you didn't make someone laugh even if you made someone pissed we can never be apologizing for this it's a this is this is a disservice to all of us in comedy if we're if we're apologizing for the work that we do every every single day even if what we say is not even really a joke. And it just makes someone angry. And just a dangerous idea. Yeah.

Dangerous idea? Okay. That's wild. Look, I was apologizing simply because you seemed a little bit peeved. And I wanted to just, you know, you guys are being kind enough to have me on the show. I wanted to make sure there was no. What? enough to have me on the show what no okay great peeved please I'm just trying to get my footing I didn't know how your name ended up in my wife's mouth I thought maybe you'd have some answers for me you say you've never spoken to her so it's probably the tv thing which great happy for you love the

emmys you know and that's and that's great and this was part of the orientation we did kind of talk about this before the new guest orientation where you just run through the basics don't scream really loud don't be whispering very quiet be Be sitting up the whole time. Just be normal. Please don't lie down. Yeah. Be sitting normally. Don't lie down. Don't stand up.

And Sean's going to get pissed. People are doing all of this. People are doing all of this during the shows. They're lying down. Ideally, they were. They were until we did New Guest Orientation. Yeah. This, you know, all of these are when you see the warning

label on like a hair dryer that says like don't bring this in the bathtub that's because somebody did it you know they didn't just come up with this might happen somebody did it so now they have to write it down damien faye he was he tipped over a bunch of times yeah okay well he thought that was what he's supposed to be doing because we didn't tell him Okay. Well, he thought that was what he's supposed to be doing. Cause we didn't tell him.

No, that was our fault. You know, to, you know, to a large extent, because we weren't, we weren't, I will say through it.

Well, here's some of that stuff is pretty self-explanatory. If you're doing some kind of a podcast, you shouldn't be lying down, standing up suddenly arbitrarily at these things. It feels that way now, you know, because I think we have introduced some change in this industry, some long overdue, some much needed change where we do make our guests comfortable.

And I hope you feel really comfortable. I've been actually being really cool to you. I'm feeling more comfortable now. I think when it first started, I was comfortable. Then suddenly, like, I got a little prior to the orientation. Yeah, right. But now I'm feeling great. And yeah, I got a little prior to the orientation. Yeah. Right. Uh, but now I'm feeling great.

And, uh, yeah, I'm just, that's great. Cause we actually have a huge amount of work to do and we have to, we have so much to do. We can't keep wasting time.

Last time Carl, I think was on the show less than a year ago, we did an episode of VR family guy, uh, and that show, and we're just doing it for fun we're just doing vr family guy for just like a fun it's like what we do when we hang out we do an episode of vr family guy just for each other just for like each other make each other make each other laugh and crack up and to keep the creative gears going it's actually one year this week by the time this

episode comes out isn't that interesting well kevin everybody yes mr numbers that's what i was gonna say actually it's next week damn it sorry you can do this again next week so it's a virtual it It's Virtual Reality Family Guy. Yeah, sorry. I should have said VR Family Guy. It's Virtual Reality Family Guy. The show. And this has been sort of unbeknownst to us. This, you know,

we say something on the show and then one of our reps takes this thing and sees if there's a market out there for this and people have cars. And we go, that's not why we're doing it. We're just doing it reps like takes this thing and is like sees if there's like like a market out there for this and people have cars and we go that's not why we're doing it we're just doing it to make our friends laugh and have fun but they go actually people want to uh back up the truck and and pay for this stuff so vr family guy has a full season order now. Nice. Congratulations, guys. Congratulations. To you as well.

Thank you. It's awesome. It kicks ass. Great. We got to do this right now. We're pretty far behind on making it. Carl's busy. He doesn't talk to us outside of Flagrant Ones.

We'll do Flagrant Ones with him and then he's like, we will not be speaking outside of... We'll talk on that show, obviously, but not outside of it. After the show, it's pretty much that's done and he's hanging with his other funny friends. We were lucky enough to have one here today. Well, thank you so much.

That surprised me. Carl's a very nice guy and it surprises me that he literally told you guys no communication outside the show. He said please. He did say please. He was nice. He said thank you.

Before I had actually agreed or not agreed to it he was saying thank you, I appreciate your understanding of this and I was like okay well I haven't told you if I do or not yet. I will say he limits the time he spends with people. I spoke to him a couple of days ago. Okay, that's interesting.

I've heard that he actually does not do that. Okay. That he specifically doesn't limit the time that he spends with people. Yeah. I mean, then I guess, you know, I've seen a different side of him. You know, I spoke to him a while back, and he was like, hey, you know, I'm busy this week, but let's hang out next week. Called him next week, he was also busy.

Boundary. Four weeks went by and still hadn't seen my bud. My buddy. You're calling every weekend. You're checking in every weekend. I'm calling in every Friday and Sunday. Friday and Sunday. You're checking both every weekend saying, Hey, calling in every Friday and Sunday. Yeah. Friday and Sunday.

Okay. Both sides of it. Wow. Yeah. Cause the Friday is the first of the weekend. Sunday is the last, you know, got it.

Beginning. You know it, you know, that's right. That's that's the week. So we, Carl, we're getting some of that Carl energy with you.

Cause you're very good friends with Carl. And so this is us saying, okay, we're getting some of that Carl energy with you because you're very good friends with Carl. And so this is us saying, okay, we're doing Virtual Reality Family Guy again. We're doing the show. And so, like, you're obviously, like, the viewer is wearing virtual reality goggles and a smell cap over their nose and a tongue uh sheath as well that is releasing taste sensations they have a body suit on that has different like ticklers and stuff inside of it that can sort of nuzzle against them during if brian the dog walks by their leg or something then it would actually be a calf tickler this sounds awful it sounds like a lot of very uncomfortable

things happening at once it's not always all activated at once but I understand you're not necessarily the target market, the customer for this but there obviously is one we have a series order

we're not asking you to view it. We're asking you to help us make it at scale or below. Below scale. That's not... Ideally, it would be below scale just because, you know, we're kind of doing you a favor. Yeah, okay. I'm still... I'll be honest, fellas. I'm still not 100% clear on what we're kind of doing you a favor. Yeah, okay. I'm still, I'll be honest, fellas,

I'm still not 100% clear on what we're doing and how I'm helping, but I... Really? It's virtual reality, family guy. Do you not know who family guy is? I know what both those things are, family guy. No, it's three, family guy and virtual reality, but I don't know how I'm going to help you.

I guess let's do it and then i'll find out right no i prefer that you find out and then i just don't know how i would find out and then you do it ideally we're gonna have to have you find out because otherwise you are living the experience you choose your character you can be any of you can be family guy you can be any of his friends and you wait so it starts with you waking up obviously so like you put this on and you go to sleep okay this is your normal self you put on the whole apparatus and then you go to sleep and then you wake up the next day in this body in this avatar basically am i actually going to sleep with this whole gear on like choose your character choose your character okay brian the dog brian brian the dog okay okay

you're gonna need then i think a little more gear yes just to change your posture and stuff you need like a um like the other suits are less restrictive but like this because they're humans yeah exactly brian yeah you're gonna need to have we have to be able to have a tail and stuff like that so brian walks completely upright like a regular person not in virtual reality family guy that makes no sense because then okay it's live action it's real this one's real okay okay okay so and is seth mcfarland does he have any involvement in this or this is we would love to have seth if you have a line on seth that would be our dream come true to have him get he's involved in it i mean he created family guy yeah oh yeah he got to sign off on you all his fingerprints are all over

it because the characters were inspired by a lot of his stuff. He created all the characters. And he voices a lot of them. So you know that. If you know that, then why did you ask if he was involved? Sorry, and I actually have a big issue with him creating all the characters.

I'm certain there are other people on that staff who get character payments from the WGA for introducing some of the various ensemble that make up the town of Quahog. I'm sure they do. This is like a collaborative effort. I don't know if you thought on Shameless. If it was all you, if it was just like the Peter show or something. No, I absolutely didn't think that. it was all you if it was just like the peter show or something no i i absolutely but bill macy and a

lot of the other people there you know are super involved in what makes that show work well i was a recurring so in their series regular so i am in no way shape or form saying it was the peter show uh look uh that's what this show is actually so we can't family guy is the guy this this one we are calling the peter show yeah which would be great for you i mean you'll be comfortable in that and in this version it is actually a spinoff of the cleveland show we're acting basically like we like the first we have had to just kind of pretend like we call it virtual reality family guy but it is actually called the peter show which we're saying is a spinoff of the popular character Peter Griffin. It's the Cleveland show from Cleveland's neighbor's perspective.

The more you guys describe the show, the less I understand what it is, to be honest. That's the opposite of what should be happening. You should be hearing the details that we're providing you and understanding it more and more. Would it be helpful to get in

the suit, Peter? I can't see why it would be helpful to get in the suit, Peter? I can't see why it would be helpful to get in a suit, with all due respect. I kind of don't also want to get in that suit. It sounds like it's very hot and uncomfortable. It sounds... Okay. The sounds it's making are completely unrelated

to the temperature of it. Yeah. What's that clicking? One of those sounds is the cooling mechanism which has been acting a little funky. Yes. The clicking noise is the tongue sheath that has to be constantly releasing taste

or else the taste flow will get clogged. You want to hear the clicking, Peter. If you stop hearing the clicking get out of there because i don't think i want to no longer going to allow your mouth to retain let's talk about the fail safe let's talk about how you get out i don't want to do this i'm thinking it's you're just describing a lot of things that i don't want the whole the sheath

mouth sheath and then you're constantly getting taste? It's a tongue sheath. Okay, but it's just like taste of what? Like air? Taste of whatever family guy or his cohorts are eating. To get out, you must find Quagmire. Quagmire is the key out of the experience. He will obviously be like when you meet him in the show he'll be in the guys like he's horny and stuff or whatever yeah but if you go to him and say quagmire i'm having big problems i need to get out he will drop the act and just be like okay

let's work together let's find our way out of go yeah get in his car through the exit yeah yes you do have to get in his car he will yeah he is still gonna be a little he's quagmire he is still gonna be a little bit horny yeah that's not all for the show that you know they cast him partially because he was so horny uh and uh but he will drive you to a new location outside of rhode island he'll drive you to logan airport at which point you will fly back to los angeles where you live and then you can kind of resume your normal life as peter in the experience and kind of reassemble it as closely as possible you don't have to be in in quahog anymore no not at all you'll be in the experience but like in a version of los angeles in your life it'll be a lot more comfortable if you freak out which honestly you don't that's not going to happen but we want you to be prepared if it does happen okay find quagmire you'll get in his car obviously he's gonna be you know he'll be he'll

be horny but you know he'll help you get get to the airport and you can go home uh okay uh i mean okay well what's the first step i guess i mean i'll give it a shot is at any point can i just take the thing off my head and be like hey okay that's done thank you so much for asking that no well it's not really an issue because we thought we got this question you can't no you can't just pull it off i mean yeah yeah no you can't like physically i can't or like i shouldn't oh boy uh i i would recommend that you don't you won't be able to so you can't and also you really shouldn't so that's a vote that's a yes okay uh all right jesus christ fellas again i gotta say it doesn't sound great it doesn't sound super fun i kind of came on this you know to talk to you guys you guys have a great show i'm a big fan but now i'm kind of like i still kind of came on this to talk to you guys. You guys have a great show. I'm a big fan, but now I'm kind of like

I still kind of don't know what's going on. You're a fan of Virtual Reality Family Guy, but you don't know what it is. You have a great show, which is Virtual Reality Family Guy. I'm a fan of you guys. This is what we do. This is our work.

This is our passion. Okay. All right right i understand that uh i don't look i'm a team player i i don't want to be you know i'm not going to poop in anybody's fishbowl or whatever you that's american dad what you're talking about is american dads yeah that was an expression i was just using an expression and And Roger will poop in it sometimes. We can give you that experience. If you want to be Roger, that's actually probably okay.

We'd make a couple adjustments to the Brian suit, obviously. You know what? I'm afraid that the further you adjust that suit, the worse it's going to get for the person that's wearing it. What's the first step? Your eyes flutter open further you adjust that suit, the worse it's going to get for the person that's wearing it. What's the first step? What's the first step here?

Your eyes flutter open. You wander into the kitchen where Meg is eating cereal. The Meg rendering is not complete yet. She will

look like a T-10001000 type that's the closest like thing i can uh like the closest parallel but got her huge with like extra almost like vitruvian man like has like multiple kind of like shadow limbs versions of herself okay it doesn't sound like anything like the meg that i've seen on the show it sounds like the terminator the exoskeleton inter-skeleton terminator thing well he just said has way more limbs and they are like kind of shooting out more limbs the limbs are shooting out and then the head rotates a full 360 degrees do not let her see you get your food yes that's totally normal you know it's fine this is your kitchen you know your family guy's dog so you're you're allowed to be there the head is rotating in such a way that you can time it yeah time it so when she's looking away you're always moving in an arc like

right along with the back of her skull it's going to allow you to go around the kitchen get whatever you need and get right back to the door and now we've got some breakfast right okay all right and what might brian say you know when he's got his breakfast um this is great i've been hungry all night okay yeah yeah i could see that being pretty funny do you want me to like say jokes or just kind of say what i would say in this i mean we envision the show as a comedy you know because family guy is so associated with like laughs and comedy. And it was part of why we wanted you, you know, Carl said you were so funny and.

Well, thank you again. But this is kind of a different situation. Okay. How about this? Okay. Brian, I come in.

I'm like, what's up? Finally. I've been hungry all night. Yeah. I haven't been hungry all night since. Yeah. Since. Maybe it's like, hungry all night yeah i haven't been this hungry all night since oh yeah since maybe it's like i haven't been this hungry since you know

thanksgiving not really thanksgiving is when they actually give you food yeah so maybe something recent you know how people get very hungry before thanksgiving like you're always like hungry before thanksgiving okay that. That's not what you said, but okay. So it's before Thanksgiving. I mean, it's hungry since before Thanksgiving, we cut away to that. Yeah.

Right. Okay. Maybe before the first Thanksgiving. And we do, and we like, but, and we do a cutaway to, it's like the pilgrims and stuff.

The pilgrims, we have not finished the rendering on yeah don't have them and can't seem to make a turkey either so we're probably gonna just have that be yes the pilgrim sex organs are right now not super uh polygon rich They're very sharp. When you flash back to this cutaway, don't let any of them... If they're turning towards you, you will need to get out of the way

or just turn with them. You can jump over them. Some of the sex organs are low-hanging and some of them are high, so you will need to jump over them. Whether you jump or duck is going to be yeah so these are individually functioning sex organs like it's like a penis again they are not functioning right now no i mean they're functioning in terms of they're so sharp that like they could serve the function of slicing you to bits but they're not functioning uh for sexual purposes it's and we probably don't

need them to because it really is just a virtual reality series right uh okay and then uh fellas i'm really trying to do my best to sort of keep up with this uh yeah this has been actually going really really well like the breakfast thing some of the lines you were giving brian the dog were making me actually crack up oh really okay so that's what got us that's what got us that's got us to thanksgiving you know the first thanksgiving so it's the pilgrims and maybe um uh one of the pilgrims eats so much he has to loosen the buckle on his hat why would he why would he loosen the buckle on his hat but why would he loosen the buckle on his hat? Why does he have that buckle? It's just something about the

buckle on the hat. That feels like we have to do something with it. Yeah. He goes, man, I'm going to eat a lot today. It just doesn't make any sense because why would he not unbuckle his buckle on his waist? You could pitch something. You could pitch something i mean you could pitch something then okay all right i'll pitch it uh uh you know

the guy says man i ate so much and he takes this off his shoes i don't know fuck um no uh it's hard when you're on the spot you know i'm not saying it's hard when you're on the spot uh no i know i know especially when it's not really a collaboration we're not supporting each other's ideas like um it doesn't seem like we are no uh with all due respect i don't want them to take so i'm thankful for the opportunity to use these pilgrims who have basically turned on each other so far in our process on this and so like maybe giving them an assignment will like help the situation and they're in their part of the universe that we're rendering but yeah you

do not want them to take off their shoes because their toes will they're not like they're attached they're only secured by the shoes right now and they have a velocity they will spray out and this could be a good cutaway though so you go i haven't been this hungry since before the first thanksgiving we zap you back in time you're surrounded by these pilgrims you go hey guys any idea when the food's gonna be ready two of them spin and turn towards each other each pierce one another with their sex organs blood sprays everywhere and they start screaming like one's head is severed off and the other one is like chopped in half at the waist and then you're just like uh never mind that you kind of tiptoe out of there that to me feels like okay now we're

right back in the living room and you're enjoying your breakfast that's what it's gonna have to be or honestly you'll regenerate so like if you don't get it the first time you'll regenerate exactly at least where you were at the beginning of this. You'll go back to the kitchen. You do that. You go to the cutaway. You can just keep doing it. You have to keep doing it.

Yeah. Okay. Brian's got his breakfast. Brian's got his breakfast.rian's got his breakfast we go back in time the pilgrims are killing each other using each other's genitals that's the cut that's the cutaway yeah i think no i'm with all due respect fellas i didn't because i didn't understand it it comes literally out of nowhere it's like hyper violent and it has nothing to do with the i okay fine it's you guys a show if you guys dig it so next i'm in i'm i'm back at the house i fucking dig

it that's funny shit man hey any idea when the food's gonna be ready ah you know that's the kind of random humor they might do in one of those kind of ways yeah you don't want to be ahead of it. You don't want to be ahead of it, right? But you don't want to be way behind it either and just be like, I don't know what the concept here is. Again, so you guys are show you know what you're doing. I trust that.

Is it better if instead of the Pilgrims, it's like the California Raisins? No. Both make no sense. I mean, I think if it's less violent it may be better. I feel like you don't know the show. I just... I feel like we're starting just from

a place of like... I haven't been this hungry since I spent Thanksgiving with the California Raisins. One of the raisins turns around, sex organs severs the other raisin. Okay. Here's the thing. I know that there's non-sequiturs on the show but a non-sequitur to this extent i haven't seen where it's literally it sets up a joke and then does something completely different again like maybe you guys don't know what i do

well i would say i i'm you know what i'm thinking is hey why is this guy so hungry having you know having thanksgiving with the California Rays? Did they not serve him food or anything? The answer is, right before, I guess, the food was ready, there was a horrific, violent incident. I can't imagine. I mean, certainly, you'd probably lose your appetite at that point. And also, it's pretty rude to then continue serving of serving yourself if one of the reasons needs to be brought to the hospital or more likely the morgue okay yeah so then that's a really hungry

day yeah that's a yes i guess i it's not it's not always funny to like explain a joke but i think now that we have the kind of the logic which which is airtight, you're probably seeing like, oh, this was really funny what he said. Hollywood Handbook. Be a better you in 2024 with Babbel, the science backed language learning app that actually works. 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 like i i trust you i know like you when you endorse a product it's something that you really use and care about but there's one language i'm trying to learn and that's body language so can babble teach me body language yes babble 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 babbles 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 whole finger hurt i wonder if they spotted a spider web or them they're pulling it what does that mean does their whole 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 i need and have needed something like

babble to figure out what the heck is this person doing with their finger because it looks like a it looks like an emergency i know i'm supposed to do something or how about those people that stand in the street they're kind of like they've got like 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 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 pushing it out. I'm like, am I supposed to drive by a car? Yes. Or just do it out the window as I'm going.

Tell us about what you're working on. Where can we find you? Well, you can find me on Instagram at pbanny, P-B-A-N-I. I post little videos and, you know, hopefully you all will check it out and enjoy it. You know, I'm coming back to the pandemic now, you know, just kind of getting back to work, getting back to the grind, so to speak. Yeah, I feel so. I almost feel like you haven't been listening this whole time. You're in the virtual reality family guy you were. OK, all right.

So you weren't asking me as Peter Vandiver, as you asking me in the virtual reality. We need this clip. We're recording the Zoom. This is going to be a clip for press. Yeah. So this is going to be. Yeah, they'll probably be playing this at the ATX Festival. You sure this is the best clip?

In just a couple of weeks. It's just me being confused. I'm not happy with the clip so far, but I do believe we can get it. And it's going to be, when we ask what you're working on, be like, I'm so excited about this project. I'm Brian. We got this California

race that's cut away that you're going to fucking love. Okay, yeah, I'll do it. No problem. Should I do it now? Where can I find you? What have you been working on these on these days oh man i've been working on this great project uh this this family guy virtual reality project there's this whole cutaway with the sharp genitals that you're going to really like everyone dies in it but it's very funny um steps on the joke a little bit steps what steps but you say i got this cutaway with the california raisins i i guess i'm intrigued you

say i got a cutaway with incredibly sharp genitals i go like well i'm ahead of the joke now you know okay probably the california raisins are cutting each other with those okay so okay i'll just say okay hey we got this funny joke with the california raisins can't wait till you see it it's gonna surprise you and this is this is an interview with tom tucker you're gonna be doing this in the show yeah in the world of the show you're gonna be interviewed by tom tucker the news guy so this is why we have to be like prepped and like ready to do this and he is going to be so loud we really have not gotten the levels on on this like fully rendered yet it's very uncomfortable to do those scenes why is nothing rendered in this in this entire show

literally 90 kevin do you want to say do you want to say? Do you want to tell them why? We've had to make budget cuts. Excuse me. There's no we. There's no we. I am going on an extended cruise. Thank you. And so

the project has had to make cuts to pay for this cruise. Kevin, you don't think that's kind of like, with all due respect, everybody deserves a little vacation. We've been through a pandemic. But if the cruise is hurting the progress and quality of the show, why don't you use your own money for it?

I am for the first two weeks, but the next five months is is research what this is this is this is uh if i could give some context to to defend kevin because i i i got upset as well it is the impractical jokers cruise and he did promise to bring back some of their funniest jokes for us you know and if they're you know even if they're crew specific because it is vr we can just put brian the dog on a cruise and and he'd be able to do some of what they're up to so in a way it is research for the show and the money will end up on screen ultimately but for now what we're dealing with is tom tucker's way too loud california raisins slash the pilgrims have you know polygon genitals of the and the um and meg meg meg you know terminator gonna kill you okay jesus christ uh one of the one of the jokes

that i got is a meme i don't know how we can use this but it's of the top image is of tom hanks and castaway and he's like swimming away from the island and the second one is his son chet hanks saying like dad come here and then the third image is tom hanks like swimming back to the island going back yeah oh i see see this so you see why we why we have to send him on this cruise yeah yes I guess you send him on the cruise okay he goes on the cruise but a five month cruise

to research characters for two weeks and then you said another five months the only time people go out to sea for that long is to research oceanotics is that a word ocean on ocean oceanographers yeah that's one of our episodes is actually about that okay well that makes sense that makes sense yeah i'm gonna be doing oceanotics he gets a job at

the oceanotics lab oh okay i still think i said i i said that phrase wrong but you know i guess we all know what I'm talking about. Fellas, I'm sorry. I got to be completely honest. I think this show idea is absolutely awful. And I'm saying that because I respect both of you. Carl's told me such great things. I have listened to the show.

I'm fans of both of you. I've seen your improv, your shows. This really feels like it's coming out of a – You've seen Hayes' improv. I don't do improv. Oh, you don't do improv him i could have swore i've seen you do improv but so i don't do improv whatever you saw was meticulously scripted by yeah yeah scripted by me that's right okay interesting uh anyway i just uh i'm kind of having trouble with the concept of the show of the show it just sounds uh it's you know it's let's just say if my dad saw the show he'd be like what the

what is this this is foolish okay well that's interesting you know um because we do need more characters could your dad be in the show like could he ask what it is and then brian the dog can sort of try to explain to him or maybe give him an example that gets us another one of these good cutaways that you really helped us come up with any any of the characters who you think he would be like especially good to play yeah actually yeah let's get your dad in like a Stewie suit or something here. To play Stewie? I don't think you want him playing Stewie.

He has a very thick Iranian accent. There's no way he can do a British accent. That might protect us a little bit from what we expect to be a pretty lengthy legal battle. It would be great to be able to point to this character. great to be able to point to this character. We've already made a lot of physical changes to some of our results

as with some other characters of... Some rendering issues. But some of it was intentional that we did want Stewie to be an adult. Yeah. Here's the thing. You want Stewie to be stewie though right because if my

dad does it this is what's going to sound like hey hello i am a stewie i love to i love to try to kill my mother it doesn't sound like stewie whatsoever it sounds like my father trying desperately to play a character that he knows nothing about. I think that is actually perfect. That's probably better than what we're going to do. If I was a fan of the show, which I am, watching this program you guys are talking about,

I would go, what the hell? How is any... I mean, Meg is a fucking Terminator robot. There's people killing each other with their polygon unrendered genitals loud yeah tom tucker yeah he's right so okay and then we're doing that tom tucker's loud i mean you really are you telling me you really can't fix the and stewie stewie's an adult. Stewie's an adult and his...

We've got the rendering on some kind of cycle where his nipples kind of burn off and... Smolder and burn. And regenerate. What kind of rendering cycle is that? The setting is just like... We haven't been able to get it just right. This is that the setting is just like we haven't been

able to get it just right this is actually the least distracting version we've found because when they come back in they're not so pointy but they do uh yeah they sort of smolder they become like uh you know uh sort of burning charcoal and ash and then they uh blow away to dust and then they come back in uh you know somewhat normal honestly so this is rated x this program is rated x i actually think the human nipple is normal i don't think it's something that we have to be providing from those sustenance you know yeah exactly it's one of the foundations of human life so to me it's rated x for extremely normal yes i i mean uh x for extremely normal that would be an x yeah the x yes for exists you know that would be two both those words are yeah both those words these are already taken

and it's for that's what they that's a rating for video games for babies so he's for everyone yeah he's for okay I would say that the penis part that the genital part is probably the part you're gonna do it's not recognizable as a penis and not even close we just said

the sex organs yeah and then that's it then the show's done uh i didn't want it to be you know but um i don't have a ton of say i don't have a lot of other ideas uh the stuff you were giving me with your dad actually was the most inspired i felt in a while and you seem to already be off of it. How old is your dad? My dad is 71. Stewie is a 71-year-old Iranian man just to be able to point to that and the nipples thing that we already have going.

If your dad is okay with that happening to him... That saves us. Yeah. I can promise you, I don't even need to talk to him, but I can guarantee he's not going to be okay with his nipples burning off and stuff. He's like me. In my family, all the men in my family have desperately sensitive nipples.

Whenever I've gone to the doctor, even if he twerks them a little bit, I'm like, God, please, this isn't, you know. Even if the doctor does a little twerk on it. Just a little one. If the doctor's doing just a minor... He's not fully... Twerking on it? No, he's not fully twerking on it. But even a slight twerk to a sensitive nipple is painful.

I'm sorry, I don't want to go down the road talking about my family's nipples, but my point is my father won't agree to that. He won't agree to that. He won't let... So then he's going to have to be Lois. He's going to... Yeah. Which actually could be...

Her nipples on the show are basically like so heavy as to be like basically invincible.'re not going anywhere yeah so thick yeah are you sure that that's just not weird and like inappropriate just like suddenly this cartoon character that everyone likes i'm sure it's got these they're what are they thick like leather nipples talking about the nipples being weird. I'm sure it's not. We all got them.

We do all got them, but we also all poop, and we don't go around showing each other our poop. I don't walk around with a bowl of my poop in my... On Lois, you'll be able to see it because her stomach or her intestines are visible through her...

It's all transparent like her body and clothes yeah this is another is another rendering issue no no this was a choice creative choice that we wanted to be able to see her internal functions just to say like hey this is okay like yes we eat we process the food we generate waste. This is a cycle that we're all a part of, and it's been taboo for so long. I think we're finally breaking down some of these hang-ups that society has about the most normal body functions.

Hard nipples, nipples burning off, stomach. Nipples burning off is not, no, that's not a basic human function. That's an accident. The heaviness thing so like this is actually potentially an issue in the kitchen stage where you're in the kitchen lois's nipples being so heavy and like she's like getting everywhere face down on the ground just kind of like pushing with her legs like just because of our gravity settings are

all messed up with these nipples and they're like they're those are not coming off the floor so she is going to be sort of like shoving herself forward and if you are in the kitchen and you see her coming in you need to get out of the way but also in the same you know like keeping track of meg's field of vision if that makes sense but you can see meg's field of vision make it easier for you you're welcome yeah is projecting out in a way that like okay i know what she's seeing at this time or yeah because she has like beams coming out of her eyes yeah she's being coming out of her i mean you know as someone who's a fan of the show i've watched the show a long time uh

this show will completely destroy everything that everyone ever liked about family guy on top of that is that a good thing and is that a good thing no because yes but you're using the you're using the intellectual property of somebody else without their consent so you're also gonna have a huge lawsuit on your hands honestly anytime we need to if we start getting sued in the real world or whatever yeah we can just jump in there we escape into the virtual reality family guy world which you know we're sort of masters of the universe in there yeah we we have all the like codes and everything to get inside the walls and and people are like oh like is it something where you like if you die in there you die for real it's like no of course that's stupid you can't die in this world ever it never ever ever

is over no it never ends if forever it's you exist forever in there how would you hide in this world ever it never ever ever is over no it never ends if forever it's you exist forever in there how would you hide in the world because if somebody wanted to serve you court documents they could just come and serve you they don't care that you're wearing a fucking thing over your face uh well they wouldn't be able to see me if i was wearing the thing over my face it wouldn't be able to know who i was i'm not able to interact with them to accept this thing being served to me or whatever. And how would I hide? I don't think they'd be looking for me at your apartment.

That's the interesting thing to me. Yes, that's the other thing. I just go like, we're not that close. So I think that when I show up there in my suit, there's going to be very few people that connect those dots. I mean, what if there's a knock on your door, either of your door, let's say Sean. It's your door.

It's your door. We're going to be at your place. I will be at your house, yeah. Okay, at your house, whatever, wherever you are. I'm at your house. Who are you saying your house whatever wherever you are i'm at your house who are you who are you saying that to are you saying to peter okay you're at my house fine yeah okay you're at my house somebody comes and says hi is sean clements are you sean clements and what and what do i say i go no i'm stewie oh well i mean okay well my point is they can

still serve you i don't know why i went down this road but like they can still serve you can still get in trouble you can still get sued that's all that look at what hubert has been doing on that show for so long he's like he's a sexual predator that's and i don't see anyone like bringing him to justice and i don't like it no this is how this world works you think then we're gonna come for me over him a copyright violation when hubert is out there that seems like they got bigger fish to fry because they're you know they're really not dealing with some of the larger issues. And his name, so of course I'm a real family guy. His name is Herbert. But at our version...

His name will be Huber and ideally he will look like Cuber, which is another workaround that we have. He's still going to be a potential child molester? We can't stop the rendering from doing that. You can't stop the rendering from him being a child molester?

When I tell you every dial you can imagine, I've turned up and down all the little sliders. I've touched him. No matter what you do, he ends up. That's just in his bones. What company did you guys outsource the rendering to? Because it sounds like they're doing an awful fucking job. It was Ed Rod.

The company is called Kevin Computers. Okay. So Kevin's doing it. Kevin, you're doing all the rendering kevin's doing it kevin you're doing it yeah okay you're doing it my man you're doing an awful job doing his renderings with all due respect the entire thing is supposed to be rendered and half the things aren't rendered i'm so happy to hear somebody else say this because i i you know i think i had it become normal to me we had we had compromised at so many points along the way that I started to really focus on the positive, just that we were kind of getting the show off the ground. But hearing you say that, I go,

you know, there actually are a number of rendering issues with the show. As I'm having to even explain it, it stacks up in this way. But I think for me, I think if we come up in this way. But I think what, you know, for me, I think if we come up with two or three more solid cutaways, we can be out. I mean,

you should just hit us with one, just really quick, just really quick, two or three cutaways and then we'll be out. Two, three cutaways. And then let's, and as,

as, as Brian, as Brian, right. Okay. So the cutaway, Brian is, let's say he's at home, you know, he right? Okay, so cut away. Brian is, let's say he's at home. He likes to drink.

He's drinking. He's like, man, this reminds me of when I was hanging with Charlie Sheen. And then we cut to him and Charlie Sheen drinking like a gallon of isopropyl alcohol together. And they both start throwing up. Okay, that's going to be an issue. Why would that be an issue why would charlie sheen it's just that specific thing we're totally in the right area it's really charlie sheen rendering is gonna react with the ice purple alcohol in a way like that is essentially going

to ignite the air in this world and It's going to consume all of the artificial oxygen. It's a funny idea. It's a really funny idea. What if instead of Charlie Sheen, it was one of the California Raisins? You just keep bringing the California Raisins. There's just nothing to me funny about the California Raisins.

They are absolutely going... You say you're a fan of the show. I am a fan of the show. I am a fan of the show, but in this particular situation, I think it's less... Okay, how about this? Brian, he's drinking. He was my... He reminds me of the time I drank

too much, and he's with one of the California Raisins. They drink too much isopropyl alcohol, and they throw up, and then it cuts back. Or maybe it's like wine, and the California Raisins is like, that's my friend. Hey, yeah. You drink, that's my friend.

Okay. Yeah, no shit, it's okay. No, I don't. I'll be honest. I still don't think it's funny and I'm the one that came up with that. That's what my friend says. I get it. I get it.

But it gets you where you're going you know because he's made a yeah yeah right okay all right fine that's so that's one second one that's one you know uh brian is uh is mean to meg i don't know just before you even start let's not make it another california raisins thing because i don't think no you made it too many times sean you, you brought it up three separate times. You're the one that's great. Let's not go back to that.

Right. Let's not go back. Fellas, let's not go back to that because you're the Jesus Christ. The other one, Brian wakes up. He's cooking breakfast. He's like, hey, Meg, do you want breakfast? She's like, sure, Brian.

And then he throws an egg on her. It's a cutaway. It's a cutaway. It's a cutaway. Oh, okay. Cutaway. Shit. Okay.

He goes, hey, do you want eggs? And she's like, boy, this is worse than last week's breakfast. And last week's breakfast, the egg tried to attack her or chased her around the house. The egg's big and strong. What? The egg's big and strong. like the egg tried to attack her or chased her around the house or like the egg had like strong it what the eggs big and strong that's actually very helpful for the egg that we that we currently have it's going to be doing that anyway so that is that's perfect that's awesome that's a really cool idea she probably shouldn't be eating eggs in the first one just because we're not going to be able to have an egg that doesn't do that. But she's eating.

I think we had talked about maybe some cereal. Okay. She goes, hey, look, I'm having cereal. It's a lot better than the eggs I had last week. And the egg kicks the shit out of her. Cool. I mean, she's T-1000. So it's like, I think my money's on Meg. If she's a T's t1000 so it's like i think she's my money's on meg

if she's a t1000 why is she meg why can't why you are kevin you're paying kevin you're paying kevin to render this stuff have him render it right this makes no sense meg is meg but she's also t100 because kevin can't render it properly get it to someone else kevin no offense brother but if you can't render properly have someone else do it you can't sorry i don't you can't render it properly, get it to someone else. Kevin, no offense, brother, but if you can't render it properly, have someone else do it. I'm sorry. You can't say no offense and then say hurtful words like that. He does say all due respect and no offense a lot. That was really,

really, really inappropriate, and I am actually going to end the show. No, wait a second. You owe us a cutaway, but we'll just deal with that off the air. We'll take care of that off the air we do not do that on the show we don't do the screaming i'll be outside and the rudeness and now kevin is gonna kevin is now going kevin's gonna go for a walk yes he needs to cool down

and i don't fault him at all for that we'll take care of the the cutaway at a different time but just a quick apology to kevin and then we'll be like kevin i'm really sorry man i i didn't mean it like that i guess i got a little bit he's outside so you're gonna have to okay well kevin yeah kevin okay i mean why did you have to tell me when i thought i had a second look i'll email him later and say kevin i'm sorry i didn't he's outside he doesn't have email out there no he's what do you mean doesn't have email he has access to email in general. Do you want me to go outside and say something? See? He's outside.

Kevin, are you there? Yeah, what? Kevin, I just wanted to say I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to be disrespectful. I was just a little frustrated. Does he look like he's upset, man? He's sipping cocktails by the pool. I'm on the cruise, baby. Okay, I guess... Oh, wow, okay, pool I'm on the cruise baby

okay I guess oh wow okay you're already on the cruise alright well I guess everything's all's well that ends well yeah okay well I'm sorry about what I said man just keep doing what you're doing you know I don't know how to render nothing so I guess I shouldn't talk I just got frustrated
