Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, KFC Radio listeners, you can find every episode of KFC Radio on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Another edition of Watch List Wednesday. We're talking all TV news, breaking it down for you. We start off with Succession. It's a show we've been talking about. We caught up to it. I feel like everyone else out there is doing the same thing. The finale was, uh... Let's talk about it, Kevin. Let's break it down.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Because Succession has been a pretty explosive show to begin with. A lot of, like, heavy shit. There's drugs. There's power. There's money. There's sex. It's not, you know,
Starting point is 00:00:38 an easygoing show. Nor was the finale. No, the finale, everyone, I think, really seemed to like it. It was too nice a bow for me. A little too neat? Where it was,
Starting point is 00:00:48 I mean, I guess it kind of, you can kind of work it because it literally happened. Like, Chappaquiddick happened. It's happened before. So that accident. Trouble bridge,
Starting point is 00:00:58 somebody dies, he, I mean, high-powered people, if you're in a situation where someone you don't really care for is about to die and you're going to go down with it, you're out of there.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Yeah, fucking out. Real quick. Me, you, him, Hart, we're all doing the same thing. But I thought it was just a little too neat with, like, his key card stayed there and shit like that, and Logan came to save the day. It was good. It sucked seeing Kendall lose because Kendall is such a flawed character, but you still root for him. He's so flawed, man. It's hard to root for him because you know he's going to fuck it all up.
Starting point is 00:01:24 You're like, dude, just stop being a pussy. Stop doing ketamine. Stop doing meth. It's like you're trying to take down this high-powered badass. You can't be doing meth, okay? It's, I mean, addiction's a problem. I understand that. But you're just like, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:37 It's like, it always reminds me of watching Flight. You ever see Flight with Denzel? Denzel. And I watched that on a Sunday night one time. And I already had the Sunday stories. That'll give you the scares real quick. Dude, stop drinking. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:01:51 It was, like, I kind of have that when I'm watching Kendall. I'm like, dude, just don't have that drink. You can't have that drink. You're not the kind of person who can have a fucking drink. Stop. You can't just do one. But it's tough. It was tough.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I guess, again, since it happened to Chappaquiddick, I guess it works. But it was a little too neat. It was a little too much like everything perfectly worked out for Logan. Yes, that was the thing, though. Like, that is kind of how I think this is always going to work out. Like, you ain't going to beat Logan. But, like, I don't like, more so than how it played out on the episode, I don't like how it sets up next season.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I would have preferred next season to be the whole season, the battle. Well, it like how it sets up next season. I would have preferred next season to be, the whole season, the battle. Well, it still might be. You never know. I mean, right now it seems like he's got them by the balls, but I don't think Kendall's just going to roll over. He's got, I don't know, when you're on the hook for murder
Starting point is 00:02:36 and Dad's got the evidence. Well, maybe it won't be, maybe it won't be low. Like, Dad's rushing you out to the fucking private plane so you can get out of the country. Like, you can't really go back on that. Dad's really got you in his back pocket.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Shout out to my man, Tom. Marriage off to a rough start. Tom. When your wife's in her wedding dress saying, yeah, I think I want to fuck other people. It's not exactly how you want to start things off. So, succession. I wish you'd told me that before the marriage.
Starting point is 00:02:59 The most dysfunctional, power-crazed family on television right now. Also, this didn't really come on television right now. Also, this didn't really come into play last episode. Oh, yeah, by the way, it was fucking hilarious
Starting point is 00:03:12 when Rome, Romulus, he'd been setting up his fucking rocket ship and working on that rocket launch and kind of puffing his chest out
Starting point is 00:03:23 that he's in charge of the rocket launch, or the satellite launch, and blows up on the deck. And he's freaking out, because he's like, I may have, he's telling, what's her name, Jerry? He's telling Jerry, he's like, I may have sent some
Starting point is 00:03:37 emails saying, fuck safety regulations. We need to get this off, we need to get Laundress on Shiv's wedding day because I thought it would be a nice present for her. And Larry goes, well, you're looking at corporate manslaughter. And then when they finally find out
Starting point is 00:03:56 that no one actually died, that two guys lost a thumb and one guy lost an arm that they might not be able to reattach. And he like, he celebrates. He celebrates. He celebrates. He's like, we're going to cancel the party for a couple fucking thumbs.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Rome is, I've said it, it's a TV show of many unlikable characters, but if there's one guy I get a fucking kick out of. He's the best. Is he gay? That's, I mean. I think he's gay. Everybody's on the Kinsey scale. Everybody's on the scale for sure.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Greg and Tom are fucking. That's what I'm telling you. It is the most dysfunctional family on television, except for the family in the new season of The Sinner. Season two of The Sinner. They're not even a family. It's a cult. Yeah, I mean, that opening scene with that little fucking kid.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Something, you know, one of the scariest things to me, little kids. You know, like monsters and goblins and ghouls, whatever. You give me like a creepy little kid who's just like quietly like poisoning you and shit. Ooh, buddy. And now coming into the season, The Sinner, I didn't realize it was an anthology series. I thought we were going to be right back into the Jessica Biel fucked up family situation. She's no longer acting now. She's just the executive producer.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I wasn't sure how I was going to handle that until I heard my girl carrie coon was in it i will watch anything with carrie coon i was wondering where she was the whole time she's coming until the very end leftovers done you put her in the center done put her on any tv show right now i will watch it did you think that did you think that that was like her his real family yeah i mean off the bat you know you don't you don't know yeah Yeah, you're not. What is he, a fucking Boy Scout? How the hell do you go outside and you know what routes are going to kill mom and dad if you pour them some coffee? I mean, maybe we'll explain some of this along the way.
Starting point is 00:05:36 It did seem a little ridiculous. But, man, that was a little. That was some serious acting. Yo, big time. That was fucking. Did they just, like, poison you? What? They were going to come kill to go kill the kid? I mean...
Starting point is 00:05:47 That show is so, like, so dark and so fucked up that, like, it can go absolutely anywhere. I know. That's the beauty of it. Every Wednesday, you don't know what's going to happen. Fargo. The show Carrie Coon was on. I think the best anthology series going right now.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Chris Rock joins the cast. I don't know about that. I don't know about this either. Has Chris Rock ever done something serious? He did The Five, I think. Something like that. Five-year something. Five-year engagement.
Starting point is 00:06:17 No, no, no. Five-year engagement. No. Why Did I Get Married or some shit like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But even that, I think, is a comedy that's based in family drama. And that's about it. I mean, Fargo has very little comedic relief here and there.
Starting point is 00:06:30 But for the most part, you're talking about grisly, dark murders and violence. Now, I think it's the hot thing in the streets the past five, six years now, starting with True Detective, the anthology idea where you're going to add on, you know, big actors are going to join the show. And kind of like, it kind of gives you a chance to McConaughey it, where all of a sudden you're taken seriously. Or Vince Vaughn, I'm the funny guy. Now all of a sudden I'm doing, you know, this type of shit. Didn't really work out.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Did not work out for Vince Vaughn. We'll see what Fargo can do. I feel like this, no matter what though, is a little bit too much of a stretch. I think, you know what, after watching Chris's new special, Tambourine, he actually might have the serious in him.
Starting point is 00:07:12 You want to know why? I think he does, but it just, you know, until you do it, it's... It's gray hair and glasses. He does have that distinguished look now. Yeah, he looks like a guy
Starting point is 00:07:19 that would be... But you know what my main problem's going to be is like the voice, the cadence. He's always like, you know, he's so over the top with it. It's like, we made me shopping. You know, it's like.
Starting point is 00:07:29 It's supposed to be the, I come every time. Yeah, exactly. It's like, is this like. This is something you're supposed to do. Look at this dead body. That was Michael Scott as Chris Rock. We'll see. I mean, I really trust Fargo
Starting point is 00:07:45 way more than True Detective because Fargo has tried and true several seasons now and every time they knock it out of the park. So I don't think you sign up for something like this
Starting point is 00:07:53 if you're in that over your head. So we'll find out. Also, maybe Chris Rock will do one of LeBron James' shows because it seems like LeBron's doing
Starting point is 00:08:00 55,000 TV shows. Are you going to even play basketball, bro? He's got documentaries coming out. If you're not a fan of the Lakers, how can you TV shows. I mean, are you going to even play basketball, bro? He's got documentaries coming out. If you're not a fan of the Lakers, how can you,
Starting point is 00:08:07 like, think, okay. I mean, he has... How do you not realize he's not here for basketball? He has a prize show, a million dollar prize show on CBS.
Starting point is 00:08:14 He has the cartoon. He has the one on HBO at the barbershop. He has one on Showtime, a documentary series called Shut Up and Dribble. That's four shows LeBron's doing. And then he does, like, all the shit, like, social media uninterrupted stuffribble. That's four shows LeBron's been in.
Starting point is 00:08:25 And then he does all the shit, like social media uninterrupted stuff. He's got, I mean, that's like the I would guess
Starting point is 00:08:30 the uninterrupted is going to stop though. Because, well at least it's the barbershop brought to you by Interrupted owned by Bleacher Report.
Starting point is 00:08:37 But I would guess that they're going to start putting less on social media and just say, okay, this is going to go to the half hour show.
Starting point is 00:08:44 We will see. I mean, LeBron is not in here for basketball. In the one clip released to the barbershop, when it's fucking Draymond, LeBron, Skylar Diggins? No, I think it's, yeah, whatever. What's his guy's name? Maverick Carter. Maverick Carter, what a fucking scam artist that guy is.
Starting point is 00:09:04 And Snoop Dogg. And Jon Stewart. That fucking took me out. It was like the camera was panning, and then it was like, boom. White Jewish guy. There's a little Jew. You've been talking to Tony Rock about having your black card. Jon Stewart.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Black card. Yeah. Full fucking membership to the club. Big time black card. So, yeah, I mean, be on the lookout for LeBron James, the TV director, actor, documentarian, and maybe occasionally you'll watch him play basketball. We got Rob Corddry on the show today to talk about his life in Ballers and Hot Tub Time Machine and all that other good stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Ballers is entourage for sports, and the most important part of Ballers. It's not even the show. It's not even the acting. It's the theme. I think we need that door down there. We on We on Trying to fuck with Hollywood Grove
Starting point is 00:10:20 Top one song of all time Top one song of all time right here Hollywood shows Really tell you something that I really should know. I'm the slumdog millionaire. Bollywood flow. Your friend's trying to kick you with me. Fake fans. Fake that juice.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha. I don't get shit confused. I'm out with flow circles. I like my chicks in twos. How about when Rob Cordery said, I like my chicks in twos. How about when Rob Corddry said, ah, I like my chicks in threes. Good try, Rob. Good try. Good try.
Starting point is 00:10:51 All right. It's another edition of KFC Radio. We are joined live in the flesh by Rob Corddry. What's going on, man? What's up, everybody? You're looking dapper. This is my flesh. It's a packed room here.
Starting point is 00:11:00 I dressed up for you guys. You're looking good. You look like you came right off the set. But I thought I wouldn't wear the tie so I could still relate. guys. You're looking good. I like the tan suit. You look like you came right off the set. But I thought, like, I wouldn't wear the tie, so I could still relate. Okay. You know? Yeah, like, if you had the tie, you're going to walk in and be like, loser. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Pop the tie off. You're cool now. I think you guys would get intimidated by me. I took the tie off because I was like, I'm an everyman now. You are, dude. You absolutely are. That's actually what we want to talk to you about today. We want to present you with something.
Starting point is 00:11:25 We want to... Yeah? We're presenting you with multiple things. Yeah, you get a what?. We want to present you with something. We want to... We're presenting you with multiple things. Yeah, you're getting a lot. Before that, we'll start with a... A present? Yes, we actually do have a present. Nice. Doing our research, you know, as we're esteemed journalists.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Professionals. Saw your Instagram. You got a gift bag last night, and I thought it was kind of bullshit how every time we have a guest come, we don't give them a gift bag. So we don't have the promotional stuff that Colbert probably has, but we got you a gift bag here. It's the Barstool Sports gift bag. This is going to be great. And this is the first ever, so nobody else has ever gotten a gift bag from us.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Thank you, guys. Yeah, you should get a sticker out of it. You can just take a look at some of the items there. This is a lady with a beard. Is that a lady? I thought it looked kind of Charles Manson-esque. I didn't go so far as to add the swastika.
Starting point is 00:12:07 So you have a Charles Manson-esque. You stopped at the swastika? I thought it was a cross at first, so I looked it up and I was like, oh no, it's a swastika. We're going to bail on that one. And this is like three quarters or like one quarter of a bottle of what looks
Starting point is 00:12:23 like to be some really nice wine. You can tell it's very old, too, because there's like some condensation up here. Oh, it's at least a year. So it's aged properly. I was going to say, if you're in the wine industry, we call it aged. It's a fine wine. This is Chipotle Tabasco. Have you had the smoky Chipotle?
Starting point is 00:12:40 It's incredible. It can't be good. It's fantastic, sir. Come on. There's a reason why I stole it. And these are probably one of somebody's shoes here. Do we only put one in there? They're brand new.
Starting point is 00:12:51 I gave them both. There's both. A pair of Adidas. They were made by robots. They're fresh. They're new. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I can have them? Those came from Dirk. That actually is promotional. That's promotional. Dirk sent those to us, and I figured who better to dispose of them. Tropical condoms. That's awesome. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is good. What is promotional. Derek sent those to us, and I figured who better to dispose of them. Tropical condoms. That's awesome. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:13:06 This is good. What is this, weed? No. We'll do that later, bro. It's hot in New York. You got to suit up. Cooling, cleansing wipes. You guys literally just went through the office and just raked a bunch of stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Oh, promotional stuff. Oh, yeah. GNC vitamins. Everybody needs some vitamins. That's good. And a bunch of t-shirts. Yeah, those are actually good t-shirts. I know you're a Weymouth boy
Starting point is 00:13:25 So they're two Two Patriots Red Sox t-shirts Oh my god yeah So I mean Nothing but the best for you baby Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:33 I don't know what Colbert thinks he's got You probably got like a hundred thousand dollar Rolex From Colbert or something like that No Colbert All gift bags are garbage Yeah They're absolute That one's literal garbage
Starting point is 00:13:43 He actually gave you a bag of garbage Shit This might be alive Well the gift bag culture I think is a funny one When you know I think it was a couple years ago When the Oscars bag was really like a A big deal
Starting point is 00:13:59 Like everyone knew it was in it And it really was like a hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff You know like Tiffany's jewelry and stuff Yeah And Hollywood like kind of wonders why sometimes people are like uh the hollywood elite doesn't it like can't relate it's like because yeah you went to a party and got a hundred grand worth of shit well i'm not gonna knock that hell no you want to throw me as a plus one to the next oscars emmys whatever it is you people in suits with no ties go to you don't
Starting point is 00:14:20 want to go to those things come on you do not want to go you say that because you're going all of them now i want to go to a couple i go to. You do not want to go. You say that because you're going to all of them now. No, I don't go to all of them. I go to the ones where I have a chance I'm going to win something, which is very rare. But no, the Emmys were the worst because, I mean the worst. It's very cool to get an award. But they're like eight hours long and you're, you know, you just, you wish you had brought a book. Oh, man, they must be really bad. I'd rather read.
Starting point is 00:14:50 It's so boring. I can tell you the amount of times on one hand I've said, I wish I had a book with me right now. Yeah, this is it. You'd be a bookworm. Yeah, I mean, I feel like if you're racking them up and you're winning, you know, maybe they're enjoyable. It's winning maybe they're enjoyable It's shitty to lose too It's the worst
Starting point is 00:15:09 They do the five screens and you see everyone and they're always like Oh good, that's what I thought On the inside you're like, fuck you Or you're just like, the rest of the night is ruined It's a much better after party when you have an Emmy on your table. I believe it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 It's way better. Has anybody ever really been openly like, God damn it, I deserve that one? I feel like everybody plays. Kanye West. He just has to. Yeah, right. He did it for someone else.
Starting point is 00:15:36 And he wasn't even nominated. Yeah. I see it all the time, too, on Wheel of Fortune. Someone else wins the puzzle. And they're like, oh, great job. It's like, no, you're not going to go to the bonus round now, man. You guys, that's such an athlete mentality, though, right? Yeah, they get a little competitive with it.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Yeah, yeah. You have basketball players, grown basketball players, crying in the middle of the court because they lost. We've seen that, too, just this year with Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell. Donovan Mitchell was bringing him down. He's not a real rookie. I'm the rookie of the year. Yeah, they got a little sassy with it.
Starting point is 00:16:07 That's great. You don't find that a lot in the Hollywood world. We need a little more of that. It's not as real in Hollywood. Well, you very much keep it real. And I feel like Ballers and Hot Tub Time Machine and these type of shows are really what... And movies. And movies.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Are what the fans and viewers like. That's what it's all about to me. Yeah, they're not like head scratchers. They're not like Thinking Man's material. It's not like a knock on it either. I agree.
Starting point is 00:16:40 There's a common denominator to it. I love doing stuff like that too. We don't exactly do thinking man stuff around here. Why bother, man? It's so much harder. And God, it's stupid. It's stupid. And that's what we're doing today is we're going to present you with the People's Oscar.
Starting point is 00:16:56 The People's Choice, the People's Oscar for the- I accept. Yes. On behalf of Arsenal Sports, we present Rob Corddry. I'd like to thank my agent, my lawyer, my wife, my dear wife, of course. I almost forgot her. Third one. I almost forgot her.
Starting point is 00:17:11 In the doghouse for a fake award show on a dumb podcast. His wife's going to be like, did you really thank me third on the fake award on KC Radio? But yeah, I mean, it's like Ballers is, when it first came out, we were always kind of talking about how it is the entourage of sports. Entourage is beloved for a reason. Ballers is beloved for a reason. It's sports mixed with partying, mixed with
Starting point is 00:17:34 drama, humor. Yeah, it's fun. It's good cameos, too. And you guys being in the sports world, it's written specifically for you. You knocked it out of the park, let me tell you. Right. But it is weird, though, how odd the fans are sometimes. Like Senator Elizabeth Warren, it's her favorite show.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Really? I would not have seen that coming. No. On the first page of her new book, it says she loves bollards. Come on. Wow. It's crazy. And I actually had the opportunity to ask her why.
Starting point is 00:18:11 And she's like the fiscal policy senator. So she was like, it's just different people at stages of their careers and having made money and having lost money or just made money for the first time. And it really made sense to me. I was going to say, that makes a lot of sense. I was like, I'll see why you would like this show. Is that what it's about? Because I had no idea. It is a thinking man show.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I guess so. Lizzie Warren, who knew? The good senator from Massachusetts. It doesn't hurt that you are basically partners in crime with The Rock. I feel like Dwayne... It never hurts. Never hurts, man. If you're going to hit your wagon to somebody right now, I feel like he's the guy.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, I would say for anybody to give advice to anybody that's trying to get into show business, I would say try and do a show with The Rock. What's the secret? Work with Dwayne Johnson every time he does something. Just try and do as many shows with him as possible, and you'll make it. He really will. I mean, he is, everything he touches. I've always
Starting point is 00:19:08 heard, you know. I saw Skyscraper this weekend, by the way. Everything I wanted to know. Rampage is an American classic. I mean, that is. I just watched it on a plane. The earthquake one. Was it called Earthquake? San Andreas. San Andreas. It probably should be called Earthquake, like Dinosaur
Starting point is 00:19:24 and Skyscraper. It should be called Rob Corddry Candy. Practically licking the screen. Dude, that's my guy. I always get shit because I like movies like that. People kind of give me the business sometimes. It's incredibly entertaining for an hour and a half. That is what I need in this world. Of course.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I'm looking forward to seeing the new Mission Impossible. Saw that. Fantastic. I can't imagine it's any different from the former Mission Impossibles. How is he ever going to get this mission done? This mission seems impossible. But, like, it's just that those kind of movies, like, oh, no, the most recent Mad Max. See, I didn't like that.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I loved it because it was, like, nonstop. Stop. Right when you think, they didn't give you any time to breathe. That was too much for me. I need the Fast and Furious. I need the family connection. I need the Coronas. I need a little love interest.
Starting point is 00:20:18 I need that. You need a B-story too. This was just all A-story. Right, exactly. I get a lot of shit for that too, thinking I'm an action movie guy who doesn't like mad max that is great you do deserve he's got life i deserve almost he's got layers you are an onion man i think hot tub time machine is kind of one of those movies though where you know people obviously it's a preposterous uh plot and makes no goddamn sense yet it don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean? It's a true story, I thought, right?
Starting point is 00:20:46 But, you know, I think that is one of the more, like, cult classic, beloved type of, if it's on TNT or TBS or FX, you always leave it on. That's great. Enough to run it backwards. Is there going to be, like, a third? I feel like you could make nine of those things. Just keep going. Fast and Furious style.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Seeing as, though, like, Hot Tub 2, I think only you guys and my dad saw it. No way. Really? Yeah. Not a lot of people. I'll solve your problem. Hot Tub 2, I think only you guys and my dad saw it. No way. Really? Yeah. Not a lot of people. I'll solve your problem. Hot Tub 3 featuring The Rock. That'll do it.
Starting point is 00:21:12 That'll do it. We always joke about wanting to do Hot Tub 3 when we're like 50 or 60 years old. Actually, I'm almost 50, so I can't even say that anymore. 65, 70. It'll be like the Wild Hogs. That's exactly what I was going to say, or the one Morgan Freeman did in Vegas. There you go. Las Vegas.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Going out in style. Old men rob a casino. So you kind of talked about how you don't like to do the thinking man, you like the shows you do. But I was reading your Wikipedia again, doing research, whatever. No big deal. You said you credit Jon Stewart a lot for kind of teaching you how to take stuff, not seriously, but how to find the humor in more difficult things. Yeah, and it's not like a formula either.
Starting point is 00:21:58 It's nothing I can really describe in a satisfying way. It's more like just watching him work was the best tutorial for writing a joke. You know? Okay. But he wouldn't explain it to you. You just kind of... I don't know if he'd know how to explain it either. I think it's one of those things like, you know, Michael Jordan
Starting point is 00:22:18 can't tell you how to play basketball. He just kind of does it. You can give him tips and stuff, but he can't explain. At the beginning, when you're first learning, you'd be like, well, what would John do at this point? What would John's take be? And then eventually, it's just your take, whatever you're coming up with. But it's more, I don't know, he gave me confidence, I think.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I didn't have to be the smartest guy in the room. Everybody has a take, and your take is just as valuable as anybody else's. That's interesting because we just had Tony Rock in here yesterday, and he was talking about how when he does stand-up sets at the Comedy Cellar and stuff like that, they have the OG comics table, and he says he goes and stands over there and doesn't say anything because he doesn't want to look dumb. It's almost the opposite.
Starting point is 00:23:04 We're like, your take is worthless. It's not theirs. My take sucks. That's the hardest table. That's the hardest crowd in the world. Older comedians. Colin Quinn, David Tell. Forget it.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Don't even open your mouth. Just laugh. Don't be a jerk. Working with The Rock is everything it seems to be. I mean, I think you want it to be. Give me like a bad story. Everyone's always like, no, even off camera, he's just as nice. I'm like, come on. He came on to set one day wearing like a Make America Great again.
Starting point is 00:23:38 There's got to be some story. The Rock's not as cool. A swastika tattoo. That's what he's really covering up under the Romaville. Yeah, I mean, I wish I had something good for you. The worst thing I could say about the dude was that he was tired one day. I was like, and it was really weird. Because he does get up like 4 a.m. to lift.
Starting point is 00:23:57 No, it was very strange. But then again, it was the night after the Oscars. I was in Miami shooting. It was Sunday night. I was watching the Oscars. And I had to get to work at 6 o'clock the next day, so I watched half of it. But right before I shot off the TV, Dwayne is on the TV. He's at the Oscars.
Starting point is 00:24:16 And I was like, motherfucker, you've got to be at work in eight hours. How are you doing this? And he was there. He was there. And he was a little bit sleepy, and everyone was like, what the hell? He was a little sleepy. It's annoying following him because he's like your friend from college who didn't get hangovers. Where like he'll have a post at like 2 a.m.
Starting point is 00:24:35 And he'll be like, I love tequila. And then it'll be four hours later, he's like squat deadlifted like 8,000 pounds. Dude, that is so funny. That was the crystallization of my character on Ballers. I said, this is that guy in your group of friends who can go all weekend and then still go to work on Monday and not even maybe be a little glassy-eyed. But he's fine. That was the first thing I realized about my character was he doesn't get hung over. That's so funny. What a superpower.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Oh, it's the best. Pick one. It's the best. One day there'll be a story about a rock. You know what? I know why you're doing this. I don't know. I know what you're doing here.
Starting point is 00:25:17 You're just keeping it quiet because you're going to be the vice president on his ticket when he runs for president. I get it. I see what's going on here. It's all political angling. It's going to be Dwayne Robb 2020 or whatever. I loved watching that story, like, shoot out of control immediately. Real fast.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Oh, man. Was he ever laughing about that? What? Would he get your vote? No. No, no, no. No, not in a million years. Smart.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Smart. No, come on. Haven't we learned our lesson? I'm voting for the Washington Insider. Yeah. We tried this already. It didn't really go great. We need something different.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Well, we haven't burned everything down yet, so I think it's working just fine. Yeah, no, forget it. No, no, no. The Oprah, the rock, go to hell. All right, well, I know you're a busy man. They're telling us to wrap up here. But I do want to say that I think the best part of Ballers, it's a fantastic show.
Starting point is 00:26:08 The writing's great. You guys are great. The best part of Ballers is the opening theme for the first about 60 seconds. When they play Drake and Little Wayne right above it, it is just Game of Thrones. You know what? Your favorite character had just died, and then it's like, I'm so sad. You need a Game of Thrones bomb. Kane is in the building.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes! I like my chicks in threes. Yeah, there it is. It's like that to me, it's like, okay, maybe I'll watch another show. Maybe I won't, but that was awesome. It's a pretty good show. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:42 All right, man. We thank you for coming through. Thanks for having me. It was fun. Keep making us laugh and keep doing those. The People yeah, yeah. All right, man. We thank you for coming through. Oh, thanks for having me. It was fun. Keep making us laugh and keep doing those. The People's Oscars. Keep them coming. I'm just all about the people.
Starting point is 00:26:51 There you go. All right. Thank you, dude.
