Starting point is 00:15:15 I'm really surprised though that you don't feel like any headache or anything Nothing I feel great wow Is that because you're still drunk?

I was watching Eva Longoria because like, in real life, she was feeding her baby behind me and I'm like, this woman is the most stunning human being I've ever seen in my life. My boyfriend had a boner over her because it's like his high school crush.
Starting point is 00:16:38 No! Oh, that's sick fluorescent light. For everyone at home, the lights just came on as if we're in a club at 5 a.m. And everyone knows what each other looks like. Horrific. I'm like hiding behind the big mic. But tell me about your guys' role. Enough about Eva.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Tell me about your guys' role on the shows. We play Eva. Eva's not in it. She is in it. She's in it. She produced, directed, and... She's your mom. That's cool.

Starting point is 00:18:08 no i uh i play the son of the owner of the hotel who um is this playboy kind of has a substance abuse problem a little bit. He's dealing with an injury. Two of his legs work, but he's missing one leg. But I'm missing one. I'm confused. You've lost me. We'll know that in the second episode.
Starting point is 00:18:31 No, he's kind of like this, just like Miami Playboy, you know, a child that has a rich family, and he's dealing with this injury. He's missing his right leg. So he kind of overcompensates with that, with drinking and partying and sleeping with a bunch of the hotel guests
Starting point is 00:18:48 that piss his father off and yeah he's kind of a shit yeah like I just made your answer longer but yeah well I just said you needed to explain it I just set you up for success there you're welcome thank you for turning it up do you always play this role do you always get that role no but like I always tend to play like an asshole
Starting point is 00:19:08 really yeah kind of some people are just good at like certain acting certain I don't know I think I'm like I'm good at being like a smart ass so like that kind of rolls into like the stuff that cast me for but I'm like a nice guy
Starting point is 00:19:20 I don't believe you I swear to you yeah do you ever get you know I watched 13 reasons why and I swear if I ever saw that Bryce douche on the streets like I would have
Starting point is 00:19:33 What was the Bryce guy like the jock guy Yeah That's the one with Rass Butler Oh he's the one with Annie No no no it's not It's the like Big Jockey dude
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah like loser oh the one that he rapes someone yeah yeah and he's yeah like I'm not that type of ass oh okay yeah no no no no I didn't rape anyone yeah I didn't rape anyone but do people like you like you've played a bad role and be like oh you're a dick no no it's more like
Starting point is 00:20:00 it's more like girls are like oh you're that guy aren't you and I'm like you're like yes I am and then what's your role I got a funny story before I tell you this Um, the first role I ever played, I played an asshole. Yeah. Um, and the first ever interaction I had with someone that recognized me on TV was this older lady and she came up and she was like, I play this guy called Romeo.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Mm-hmm. And she came up and she goes, hey, you, you play Romeo on, on Tangle. And I went, oh, yeah, I do. And I was with some friends. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. And she goes, yeah, yeah, you do. And she slapped me in the face.
Starting point is 00:20:40 She slapped you? She slapped me in the, that was the, oh. first ever interaction. That's weird. And then for about a year after, if anyone came up, I'd be like, no, no, no, don't play anyone. Wait, that's a salt. I work in the fish markets.
Starting point is 00:20:50 I know, I'm not going to. She smacked me, bro. Oh, that's weird. That's not okay. She was aggressive. If you're out there, call me. Yeah, you're kind of into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Wait, that's crazy. Isn't that insane? Yeah. All right, I have a very important question. Who doesn't love a tasty smoothie in the morning? I know I do. The problem is it's easy to get stuck on auto. pilot making the same smoothies every single day, and even the best smoothies can start to get
Starting point is 00:21:18 super boring and predictable. So why not mix things up a little with frozen dole crafted smoothie blends? They do all the hard work for you, pairing only the most delicious fruits together into unique blends, like taking a typical banana and berry smoothie and mixing it up with mangoes and refreshing limes and kiwis. Or you can treat yourself to a sip of paradise with the strawberry watermelon blend and delicious coconut. The best part is they're born to be blended. Each bag is perfectly portioned with fruit that's frozen to lock in all the nutrients and flavor.
Starting point is 00:21:52 And every piece is already washed and cut, so all you'll have to do is fill up your blender with one single serving bag. Add some coconut water and then blend for an exciting smoothie. Dolecrafted smoothie blends. Find them in your frozen aisle. So I play Danny. He's a new employee at the hotel. Um, there's a lot of mystery behind him, which you find out, oh, yeah, the first episode, Ed.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah. So, yeah, you can talk about it now. Um, so we find out that he is at the hotel to find out what happened to his sister. So no one knows whether he's genuine or manipulating everyone. Okay. Um, and yeah. Now, describe the show for people if they didn't tune in on Monday because if you describe it, then they'll be like, well, I have to tune in next Monday.
Starting point is 00:22:36 So tell us a little bit about Grand Hotel. everything you want to watch on TV in one show it's like kind of like it's kind of like entourage based at the fountain blue in Miami like in the sense of like you know I feel like I watch the entourage people watch entourage because you know it can get kind of raunchy
Starting point is 00:22:57 and there's like there's it's this fun show to watch that you don't really have to like think too much into and I feel like that's what we kind of have going in a very like appropriate setting like South Beach the fountain blue we've i don't know if we have all been there but we can all imagine the kind of stuff that has gone on there and that's what we kind of have incorporated into show with the story of like a who done it kind of thing with 11 castmates who all the uh the uh the storylines kind of interact like uh you know like i don't know if you've seen crash like the movie crash they all intersect
Starting point is 00:23:32 like all the all the storylines intersect so it's just a fun watch it's kind of all saying this the other day it's kind of interesting like everyone has been to a hotel no one actually knows what's happening in the doors either side of them i always think about that i always wonder like every time i've gone to a hotel i'm probably weird but i'm like there is one of each person in life in this hotel right now and i'm like i'm so curious as to what's happening like you want to know what the other guests are doing in your hotel room i want to know what they're up to i want to know what they're up to i want to know what they're up to what kind of person they are when they close that hotel door i want to know what's happening in the like penthouse because I haven't been there because I'm not
Starting point is 00:24:09 bougie like you but I'll swipe up late I'll swipe up late I'll swipe up to the penthouse but this this this this uh show explores all those like weird curiosities of everything happens that's cool it's really cool so it's like a super mysterious like sexy mysterious it's like if you want to play a weird voya and and you know be a fly on the wall of every raunchy thing that happens in Miami watch the show it's like a sexy version of a American Horror Story Grand Hotel. Kind of, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that was so dark.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Yeah. It's like, yeah. Yeah, this is more like... It's like that, but not. But not. It's more motivating to like, go have a good time. You'll feel good afterwards. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I have a question. Do you have your accent on the show? No, no, I'm American. I always find this so fascinating that you can, yeah. Do you find it easy to do an American accent? I do now. But it was hard. Did you had, like, somebody that trained you and coached you to get there?
Starting point is 00:25:10 No, I've practiced for a few years. Like, in Australia, we grew up, so I'm from Australia. Well, you say that, but some people are probably like, oh, New Zealand? Oh, you're from South Island? He's British. Oh, he's British. Oh, he said British. No, we grew up watching American TV shows.
Starting point is 00:25:26 That's kind of, yeah, that makes sense. You know, important, and we grew up watching that. So we kind of have an ear for it a lot of the time, but you still have to work on it. And, you know, it's kind of fun being on an American set because you hear it all day, every day. But it's kind of funnier that people understand me more over here when I'm speaking in American accent than when I'm in an Australian. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, yeah, sometimes if no one understands. Like, if I'm ordering takeaway, like, sorry, to go. Takeaway. That was so Austrian. Oh, see, actually, I think we say that in Canada. Or, like, delivery, like whatever. Yeah. If I call up, this is before smartphones.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I have to go American otherwise no one understands what I'm... Can you do a little American? Yeah, give us... Not right now. Oh, come on. Watch the show. You're trained well, my friend.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I can't do an Australian. This is my thing. No one can, by the way. But that's, but like, if you want to say no, in an American accent, no, it's so easy. No, in... No, there's an R.
Starting point is 00:26:23 No. Yeah, there's about nine syllables after it. Like, I'm going to tell me what to say and I'll try and say it in an Australian accent. No, no, no, without saying something. Just basically, so Americans use their mouth properly. Okay. They use all the muscles in their mouth.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. Australians don't. Don't? Don't. But that seems like it's more effort than saying don't. No, no, no. So what I'm saying is try and mumble and be lazy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Slur it a little bit. No. We're not drunk, yeah. Okay, my bad. Oh, yeah, just kidding. But just be like, hey. Hey. Hi.
Starting point is 00:26:57 There you go. There you go. And say, Brian's really attractive. Brian's really attractive. What, how do you say attractive? Yeah, no, he's not that attractive. Oh, no, yeah, no. Yeah, no, he's not that attractive.
Starting point is 00:27:08 That was British. Oh, my God, that was really bad. That was super British. It was terrible. I can't do accents. Say dingo. Dingo. Dang, that's pretty out there.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Can you teach me something from Nashville? Y'all. Y'all. Yeah, Nailed it. Guns and y'all. Republicans. Yeah, sorry. Can you actually, Brian, teach me something.
Starting point is 00:27:31 from Florida. Guns. Same in Nashville. Anytime I hear a story about Florida though, it's always... When COVs is on, it's always... I swear you guys get like a shitty edit.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Like, is it really like that? Yeah, yeah, it kind of is. It's really... Yeah, Florida's kind of... But even if you watch, what is it? See it, or crime scene, the forensic files. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:57 It's always like the dad who had bath salts and like eight his kid or something like it's like some crazy shit I saw there was a headline that a girl got pulled over in Florida and she had a baby alligator down
Starting point is 00:28:13 her yoga pants oh that's pretty normal my my dad was he was a firefighter paramedic in Florida for 30 years so like all those stories like I've heard so he's seen some shit yo like it goes down
Starting point is 00:28:29 in Florida he'd be so good on a podcast Well, let's get your dad. Can we get us out of you? I'm like, yeah, seriously. You can tell you some shit. That's crazy. Damn it, I had something to say about Australia, and now I've lost it.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Oh, no, I got it. Okay, so on, there's Bachelor, Bachelor, I have Bachelor in Paradise, and then they did the, oh, Bachelor Winter Games, and they had everyone from different countries, from the Bachelor franchise come on, this one show and do, like, these Winter Olympics, basically. And there's this one guy from Australia, and now my girlfriend and I always quote him, from the show because he was making eggs for this guy named Ben and he goes, you want some eggs bin?
Starting point is 00:29:07 And I was like, Eigsbeen. What's Eigsbin? Is he from Australia or from New Zealand? Shit, am I that person? No, I swear he's from Australia. Because New Zealand say bin and they also say So if you want to learn New Zealand So fish and chips?
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah. So how would you say fish and chips? Normally or with an accent? No, no. New Zealand, how would you say? Like fish and cheeps. Fish and cheaps? Fosh and chops.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Fosh and chops? No, it's not. We're going to go get some fosci and chops. That's all the same here. That's gross. You know what's really funny about... Wow. You're talking about The Bachelor back home.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So Eva. Yeah. She went to Australia to film Dory the Explorer. Oh, yeah. And she'd spend six months with me. And then she's like, she's like, oh, everyone back home is so attractive. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, everyone's... And then she got to Australia.
Starting point is 00:29:56 She went to the Gold Coast and the Bachelor Australia was on. Yeah. And we had this guy called... He's called... He's called the Honey Badger. Oh, no. You should look him up. Anyway, he was our bachelor, and she was like, and by the way, he's a great guy, if you're listening.
Starting point is 00:30:10 But not what she was expecting. And she wrote back, and she's like, what is, what is this? What is happening on your tree? She's like, you lied to me. I was like, no. The Honey Badger is his nickname? Honey Badger Australia. The Honey Badger Australia.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Got it? Because my phone's so slow. Yeah, I got it. Is his name? Oh, boy. Oh, no. What's wrong with? I mean, that's a strong...
Starting point is 00:30:42 Oh, no. That's the Bachelor in Australia? That is the Honey Badger. I mean, would you... I mean, I would. I got to see it. I can't believe he got a rose. I mean, you all know that he got the rose because of this.
Starting point is 00:30:57 I like it. Is that really him? It's good to me. Ah! Look behind you Oh my God All I'm gonna say is He's got a better stash
Starting point is 00:31:04 Than Brian's right there Do you have to grow the sash for the show Or are you growing that No he doesn't have to grow the stash for anything Oh just for your own pleasure The thing is like I get bored Because we have to look a certain way
Starting point is 00:31:15 For like six months Yeah yeah let me try Hey Brian I know we're doing the confession thing later But do you have any need to confess right now Oh my god Let's confess You threw me under the bus before We're in confession runner
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah Brian's up How do you get such a perfectly manicured mustache and did you bring a certain implement to the podcast to fix it? No, no, no, absolutely not. That would be crazy. I want to know.
Starting point is 00:31:39 That would be crazy. Go on. But... What? Do you have a mustache comb? Are we on this? No. What?
Starting point is 00:31:48 You have a mustache comb in your back pocket? No. Not his back pocket. You do. Oh, front pocket. I don't. She might be holding it. Is it a mustache coat?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Or, because you're... It's perfect, perfect beard. Is it like, you know, did you use a little mascara to fill it? No. Oh, no, no, no. I didn't go that far. I didn't go that far. You know, it's like, nobody can see his face.
Starting point is 00:32:09 So it's like, yeah. It's a podcast, right? Yeah, yeah. Do you do those little, like, hair fibers to, like, stick it on? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, not in the beard. It's quite glorious. It really.
Starting point is 00:32:19 It really is. I'm talking out of envy front. Yeah. I keep him for, like, two to three days and then I'm over it, but it's fun to have. Yeah. Hey, you know what? She's like, hey, yeah. Like, I do the same.
Starting point is 00:32:29 No, you know, guys used to, you know, they do the Movember thing to raise awareness. I think it's hot because I'm like, if you're going to grow one, a mustache, facial hair is hot. A mustache for a good cause? Hot. Yeah, Brian, is this for a good cause? Not super for a cause. Well, yes, it's for his, for his self-care, for his heart. It's for all the name.

Starting point is 00:35:14 22 hours, an American nightmare. Subscribe on Apple Podcast Today. You're listening to Off the Vine with Caitlin Bristow. You were on General Hospital before, right, Brian? Oh, my God, yes. What, why, oh my God, that's a great segue to some big acting roles. Yeah, it was. Can we just take a minute to think of Malcolm in the middle's dad?
Starting point is 00:35:37 Wasn't George Clooney on it? Yeah, we had... ER. Yeah, ER. That was the other hospital. We had James Franco, his mom. James Franco was on General Hospital? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:48 For a while with us. How long were you on General Hospital? I was on there for four years. Were you an asshole? Um, no, yeah, kind of. Yeah, I played a bipolar kid for a while, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kid or how old were you? Well, in the show at that time, I was probably like 19.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Okay, okay, okay, okay. Is that tough to play a role like that? It is when you're playing it so consistently. Like, when you do a movie and you're playing someone who plays bipolar, you're playing bipolar for, you know, a month. Yeah. When you're doing it on a show, you know, I had to play it for three years. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:23 How many episodes is that? I did over, I think, 600 episodes. Wow. And so you obviously get into that character for a long time. It's a weird thing with daytime. Like, it was something that I never wanted to do because it was, I never wanted to do things that I wouldn't want to watch. And, like, I was never into soap operas or anything like that.
Starting point is 00:36:42 And we had just come off of, like, a few big things. And they came back and back and back with the offer. And we were finally like, all right, we'll take it. And honestly, it's been probably the best decision. I've ever made because it makes everything else quite easy I mean we did 90 pages a day I've shot four episodes
Starting point is 00:37:01 in one day on on that and then you go to prime time and you shoot you know eight pages and you're like this is a breeze obviously with and not to shame daytime but prime time you have you know more you have better cameras you have better sets
Starting point is 00:37:17 you have better directors you have better actors like all daytime is kind of stuck in the 70s but but it gives you tools if you if you if you are good at what you do and you bring it into into prime time you're like wow man like I'm used to it like creates the fundamentals yeah because you were on a you were on a um so far as well weren't you yeah I did a I did I didn't start in it um I came in a few years in to that I so I'd done a show called Tangle which I talked about yeah yeah so I started uh I guess
Starting point is 00:37:46 it's like the Australian version of cable yeah and my dad was like Ben Mendelson and we had all these, like, amazing actors. So I started, like, trial by fire through them and then went on to Home and Away, which a lot of Australian actors have gone through. And it was really funny because to see the kind of having the experience from Tangle, but then also having the consistency and, like, getting all the fundamentals of turning up to set every single day and learning, you know, upwards of 30 pages or whatever, and trying to make words that a lot of the time exposition grounded. Very intrusional.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Because just by pure product of what it is, they're always expositional. Because they have to let people tune into that episode and not have to watch the 30 before. And so I think I did something like 700 episodes as well. And you kind of, and the thing is, if you can master, and by the way, this isn't, the writers that wrote on those shows, like, I don't know how they wrote it so quickly and made it the way it is because they're dealing with like 30 episodes at the same time but our job was to kind of make these these words that weren't realistic grounded and semi-truthful as much as you could so to do that once you get onto a show that has excellent writing because they have more time they have more
Starting point is 00:39:06 money yeah they have more scope um it's it's like a breeze it's a pleasure you know and that's a really good explanation actually i don't get to do interviews a lot with people that have gone through the same kind of path that I've done it so you understand and that's like spot yeah yeah it's spot on that's so interesting I okay do you guys have girlfriends no I'm single okay I always wonder this with actors because you're playing these roles where you're with these like sexy human beings and like making out and doing all this I would find it so hard to date somebody that was doing that do you guys have trouble with that and like dating people because you don't have to be dating another actor
Starting point is 00:39:46 Yeah, like I could, and I guess maybe other actors would understand if you date other actors. That can be like, but how do you not like, one, get like a little bit of a heart on when you're like making out and two, how do you not like. Do you get a hot on when you're making out of time? Well, yeah. But their, but their television was real. Like, Bachelors real. Yeah. So do you have that like mindset when you're acting?
Starting point is 00:40:12 Like, does something shift in your brain to not turn you on? That's a question. We actually don't get us at all. Really? Yeah, it's a really good question. Oh, you know what? I'm not chopped. Do you want to stop this?
Starting point is 00:40:22 Yeah, I'll take it real quick because I, funny enough, the only season that I've followed of the Bachelorette was yours. Really? Yeah. And I was engaged to an actress on the show that I was on at that time. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. And we watched your season.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Wow. And it's actually really tricky because as much as it's fake, it is real. Like, when you're in a serious relationship with somebody and it's an actor, like, yeah, they're on set and it's their job to make out with that person. But it's like, they are making out with that person at the end of the day. The feelings aren't there. That's all, like, that's all fake. But, like, you have to deal with seeing that, especially if you're on the same show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Which is really hard to turn a blind eye to because you guys were on the same show. We were on the same show. And we were paired with different lovers on the show. Whoa. And so I was hooking up with this person, she was looking up with that person every day and then coming back home, like, how's work? Don't want to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:41:21 Yeah, let's not talk about it. Did you guys have an open relationship? No, no, no, no. It was a very, like, honest relationship, but it can be hard to deal with. It's kind of, and I've talked to a lot of active friends about this, it's hard because if you don't date an actress or an actor, they don't understand
Starting point is 00:41:42 what it is like on set but if you do date an actor and actress there's all these compartmentalizing there's a set of insecurities that come with both
Starting point is 00:41:51 and so I think at the end of the day it's like building that foundation of trust and also realizing like on set it is the least romantic of all time like you'll do a sex scene and you'll be wearing this like cocksock
Starting point is 00:42:05 and they'll be wearing modesty gear and there'll be 90 dudes all like carrying camera is going um the lighting it was lighting it's lighting good and you're like it's it's super hot no no no but you and you kind of
Starting point is 00:42:20 and then you know you're doing it 90 times and and it's funny because especially like let's say really like intimate scenes like sex scene like kissing is kissing but the sex scenes especially at the end of the day it becomes a choreography it becomes like where does this hand go how does this do this
Starting point is 00:42:36 okay where's the camera and so it becomes this weird like detached choreography. But it is difficult, and I think if you're with an actress or an actor, it's hard, but it's also, if you're not with them, it's difficult. It's, we're going to be forever lonely. Forever lonely. Most coasters, they end up hooking up.
Starting point is 00:42:57 A lot of the times, like, look at, I mean. But that's what I mean. That's why I would find it. Like a little Brad and Angelina moment. That's what I'm saying. I would find it really hard because you get into these intimate situations, which I guess now that makes more sense when you explain it that way. I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah, but I mean, if you're single... But it still happens. Right. I mean, if you guys are single and like, you know, there's these things called showmances where you're stuck in... Like, if you guys are single and there is chemistry... And you're in Atlanta. If you're like in Atlanta on location or something... Or in Miami for spring break.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Right. There you go. Yeah. It's, you know... It should happen. I like to consider myself a pretty confident person and I don't think I could deal with that. what do you mean like as your significant other was doing it yeah yeah I would find it really challenging because you know what at the end of the day like if we're being honest there's like
Starting point is 00:43:48 a 75% chance that your significant other is probably hooking up with one of them like right that's usually what god I hope not what do you say right what are you saying like hey that's you said 75% that's that's I'm just I'm just that's why Hollywood relationships are always right short lived like I think yeah I think that's why that's why I think that's why why that foundation of trust is so important. Right. It would have to be for it to ever work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Like, I also think if you are in a relationship, like introducing your significant other to the cast. The people you're working with and normalizing that and familiar. That's the kind of... I mean, even with people that come off shows or whatever and do dancing with the stars, that's always like... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Hard for couples to get through, too. I've heard some stories about just your dance partner. You're spending all these... You're spending so much time. You're getting to know this person. You're in situations. where it's not real life, like, you're in, you're at your best self and you're, you know. You're having a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:44:44 You're having fun. I am. They set you up for success with that person, you know? It's like, it's really hard. You almost at a point I have to be like, God, like, is what I have, like, in real life better than like what they're doing right now? Yeah, you, yeah. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I can't imagine. I can't imagine doing that. So, too, like, it's good for you guys that you, you know, you have the skill set. That were a single. No. Would you rather date someone who wasn't in the industry? That's a good question. Would you rather date a girl who wasn't in the industry?
Starting point is 00:45:15 It's like you said it's a double-edged. They wouldn't understand. I think in the end of the day it becomes... Like a sweet nurse or something. Yeah, that wouldn't work, I don't think. But it becomes about the person. It's like, you know, at the end of the day, it's the person. It's not what they do.
Starting point is 00:45:29 Right, right. But it's a hard thing to understand. It's a very difficult thing to understand. And that's why, you know. That, well, I mean, that's why it's always so dramatic on The Bachelor, and, you know, you're dating all these different. The person at the end has to watch you now go through and date all those people. And that's, I mean, that's a little different because it is real. 60 seconds.
Starting point is 00:45:49 That is exactly how long this commercial lasts. And you know what else you can do in about a minute? You can get an offer for your car with true car. That's right. And the amount of time it takes to floss your teeth, pet your dog, do a few sit-ups, or just listen to my voice, you can get a true cash offer. best of all you can do it from your smartphone or home you just go to true car and simply enter your license plate number and just watch how your car's details pop up you can answer a few questions and you'll get an accurate true cash offer from a local true car certified dealer it's that easy and
Starting point is 00:46:23 after that you can bring your car in and they'll check it out with you together you can ask questions and get the answers that you need so there's no surprises then simply leave with your check or trade in your car for a new ride so when you're ready to experience a better way to sell or trade in your car check out true car today speaking of drama is there your show is quite dramatic but is there any drama off camera that we don't see or do you know how disappointing it is to say no like that's okay we have 11 cast members all of them are legends and it's so funny because we turn up to set and each person brings a different kind of flare to the show like yeah honestly everyone comes from a different walk of life and a different kind of culture
Starting point is 00:47:05 and you would turn up to set and there'd be different parts of those people's lives on set like they're in between scenes they'd be teaching someone else how to do something that they didn't know like we were just catching up before we just went and did an interview at another place
Starting point is 00:47:22 not that we're cheating on you I was like, who is it? It wasn't a podcast. Yeah, was it Ashley and Ben? You're way better. I'm just kidding. That was interesting because they had like 11 of us in one interview of us a time.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Oh, wow. And we had an interview. And I was like, this is not going to work, but it worked. And everyone got on and we still get on. Was it freaking James Lipton? It was James Lipton at the actor's studio. Yeah. He just has such a great beard and such a great voice.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Is he still doing it? He's not alive. No, he's alive. I'm sorry. I had no idea. By the way, James Lipton invite us. Yeah, but please get us on your job. Honestly, get us on our show. I got it.
Starting point is 00:48:00 You can, you know, Al Pacino. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But so you guys all get along. Yeah, we all get, yeah, yeah. That's so nice. Most of the cast is, like, in serious relationships and, like, the ones that aren't. Oh, that's fun, though. Yeah, there's not, like, serious drama outside of work.
Starting point is 00:48:17 And didn't even invite you guys all on her private yacht for, like, some bonding time? She did. And you know what's so funny. Brian and I... Off the vine needs more downloads. I need a yacht. Go on. From the start.
Starting point is 00:48:31 But we met, like, in the elevators on the way to, like, getting in a car to go to this dock, right? And we get to the dock, and I'm like, where are we supposed to go? I don't know. And so we kept walking down, we see this four-story yacht. There's, like, the normal yachts were on the right side, and we're like, surely it's or not. Or the, like, peasant yachts?
Starting point is 00:48:49 By the way, I'm from Australia. I haven't seen a yacht. So we're walking, we see this four-story yacht, and we're like, can't be that. That can't be that one. Keep walking. Three-story yacht. We're like, no, probably not. Two-story yacht, and then we hear, like, this.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Hey, guys. And we look up, and she's on the four-story yacht. story yard at the top and Eva's like, come up. No, like, it was literally like short of a cruise ship. It was like, it was a full cruise ship. Like, this is a joke. It was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:49:15 It took me, it took me 10 minutes to get up there. And I'd take my shoes off and I had like stripy socks on. That's right, we did have to take her shoe on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I had stripy socks on and I was like, I knew I wore these for a reason. What? Yeah, it was pretty wild, though. She has a four story yacht? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:33 And she flew us all in and we got attack. She was like, hey, guys, be at the pier in one hour, and we're like, eh. Oh, my gosh, that's awesome.

Starting point is 00:49:48 Oh, so she's not only beautiful. She's fucking awesome, too. You know what was really funny, though?

Starting point is 00:50:09 and talk about the script anyway we get there we're all we all have drinks we all getting to know each other and we're all feeling comfortable and then at about 10pm we're all a little bit drunk and the showrunner goes oh no that's the network table read
Starting point is 00:50:24 and by the way so many people get recast off the network table read yeah so I just flown in from Australia I've flown 30 hours to it and I was like and so everyone at that point just went, I'm good, I'm going to go home and just sleep

You're, you are drinking a delicious wine and smelling chewed up mint gum. It's on the other side. And it lost most of its smell. Are you going to put it back in your mouth after?
Starting point is 00:51:29 maybe maybe no thank you do we have a wine opener oh yeah we do no no yeah yeah it used to be i used to want to punch my sister because she would put her chewed gum on the side of her plate eat dinner and put it back in her mouth and i was like why would you not just throw it in the garbage why would you put a stale piece of that back in your is your sister single should she meet brian yes yes actually yes and and if people put it on like their pop can oh that's very can uh soda can pop can yeah that's that's can Pop can.

Starting point is 00:52:11 My lazy Australian accent gets better with wine. I was about to say. But I don't know. This is a new thing, kind of. You don't do it. No. No, chewed gum on it. I like it.
Starting point is 00:52:23 It gives them some character. Right? Here, give you a cup. Give you cup. Oh. just like the thought of smelling chewed mint gum while drinking wine it's not that potent what are you what are your thoughts on if someone's chewing gum and you kiss them I'm okay with that oh so what's they put the gum in your mouth oh my god no no no no no oh like making out kiss yeah oh yeah no no I don't like I don't like chewed gum in general unless it's in my mouth if you're if if you're making out with the girl and she has gum in her mouth and then she slips it into your mouth you're like I don't like chewed gum in your mouth you're like You know what? If she was like that bad, I'd be like, yeah, fine, let's go.
Starting point is 00:53:02 That is sick. I'm sure he's done sick or shit than that low. You're right, right? I'm about to say, like, come on now. Enter confessions. It's only Thursday. We know what you're going to. You told me something last night.
Starting point is 00:53:19 We're going to play a game, and then we're going to do a confession. We're going to end it on a high note of confession. Oh, you're kicking us out already. All right, whatever. Well, it's been like, yeah, we've. We still got about 15 minutes. That should be the game in confessions. Yeah, that's perfect.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I mean, I could talk all night, but you know what? So could I. Let's get the wine coming. Yeah, hey. Oh, what timing. Okay, is this, do we have a clean? No, no, you don't have to be my little slave, Jeff. I love you. Is there a clean glass in here or no?
Starting point is 00:53:47 Why do you got gum on ice? No, but I don't want a rosé. I don't want to mix my red with white, but I will. I'm not above it. I put another cup just for you. Yes. I'm not, oh, ha, ha, you're so good to me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Yep. Everybody refill yourself if you. Oh, Jeff, you're so good. Okay, so the game is a, it's a self-help game, okay? We're the wrong person. It's, it's, if you could give your past and future self, life advice, okay? So if you could go back in time, what outfit would you tell your younger self to burn? You want to take that?
Starting point is 00:54:25 Because I got it on hand. No, you go. Brian go. I wore, like, my mom's jeans in high school. No, you didn't. Yeah, yeah, because I was a skateboarder, and they didn't make tight jeans for guys at that time. So I would steal my mom's jeans.
Starting point is 00:54:40 That's not bad, though. It's not that bad. They were, like, kind of bell-bottomed-mey. Oh, like a boot cut, if you will. And I saw a picture of him back in the day, and I was like, ah, B, what were you doing? Little true religions. Yeah, I'd go back, and I'd be like, maybe don't do that.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Okay. Doesn't decide so well. I loved long socks. I'd wear long socks. Like to the knee? Like above my calves. Okay. Like with shorts?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Burn it. Burn it. Burn it. Yeah. No, you're not vibing it?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Yeah. I've got long socks on right now. I wear long sleep shirts under short sleep. Remember the long sleep shirts under a short sleeve shirt look? Yeah. That's kind of cool. I just did that recently. I mean, that's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:55:22 That's still lived. I did it recently. Well, everything comes back around. I have a scrudgy business, low. Did you wear? Like, do you call them overalls here? Yeah, overalls? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Don't you call them like dungaroos or dungarees or something? That's really racist, bro. That's really racist. You're lucky on the other side of the table right now. Lucky! Kangaroo punch to their face. You want to hear something funny. An angry kangaroo.
Starting point is 00:55:47 The most, like, I'm very un-Australian, but the most Australian thing that happened to me, because everyone's like, oh, kangaroos. Anyway, like, like you. But when I was, when I was, young, I went to this kangaroo, I went to this zoo and this, like, little Joey
Starting point is 00:56:01 because, like, kangaroos will kick you and kill you. Yeah, yeah. Like, they'll genuinely kill you. They're such dicks. They're such dicks. They're the Brian Craig of animalids. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Brian's amazing. No, no, no, but this, this, this, um, this Joey kicked me when I was like three or four years old to set me flying. No. So I hate kangaroos.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Yeah, that would be a, I would have a fear of them if I were, No, they'd like you. Okay. What relationship would you delete if you could? Ooh. Like erase it from memory? That's controversial.
Starting point is 00:56:38 Okay. You know what? I'm going to, I'm going to, so years, years ago. What? Yes. No, no, no. Wait, did you guys. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:56:50 No, no, no, when I was, this is, this is, this is tame. But when I was in school, this is years and years ago, I remember, I remember. I, like, did that stupid school thing of, like, writing a note to a girl. Yeah. And I passed around the room. It was so funny because at that time, I thought it was kind of cool. I had access to movies and I could take someone else for free. So I wrote this note.
Starting point is 00:57:10 I was like, actually, I'm going to name it. Rebecca Hoskin. No, no, no, I wrote this note to her. I was like, hey, Beck, I was like, hey, Beck, I was like, hey, Beck, do you think you'd, you know, maybe want to go to the movies with me? And, like, pass the note around. Wow, really, like, good voice you just slipped into it. Yeah, my voice was not that deep, I think.
Starting point is 00:57:29 It's not that deep now. Come on now. And it was so funny because it went all around the room and it got to Beck and she looked up at me and she smiled and then she wrote on the thing. And it like came all the way back and I was so excited. I opened up and she said, no. Oh.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Was there an art? Full deny. Full denial. What? So I erased that from my memory. Jeez. Okay, that's so G-rated and I see your... Yeah, well, I can't tell you.
Starting point is 00:57:56 you anything. I can't tell you anything. I see the loophole you took there and I respect it. If I asked you that right now, you'd be like, my last one, just kidding. Oh, shit. I'm totally joking. I wouldn't, I wouldn't. With yawn? Yeah. We don't want to come over to me. No, I would delete, I would one. You would? Yeah, yeah. Delete one?
Starting point is 00:58:15 Is it happened in the last five years? No. No. I was 20, I was 22. One relationship? Yeah. You only have one? That I would delete. Yes, I will say I've had very great relationships I really have one though Let's not I delete a couple
Starting point is 00:58:31 Let's not turn it over to me Okay Okay Alright Your turn Oh me? No I delete a couple Sure We'll be here for an hour
Starting point is 00:58:39 So you delete all of them You could just sum it up Okay There were some good ones Okay Do we want to know the good ones or the bad ones? The bad All I'm asking is if you could delete
Starting point is 00:58:50 All right I'll tell you one three new years ago I went to New Year's with a few of my boys to Cabo we had a good time for four days and then I was like ah boys I've got to go and they were like why what's going on
