Welcome back to your favorite podcast. I have Luke here with me today. Hello, Kristen. Hello, honey. And we have no offense to the rest of my guests, but my favorite guests thus far.

Wow. Josh Peck. Welcome to the pod. Thank you for having me. So honored to be here. Thank you for driving all the way to the Valley, to my humble little apartment. It's my happy place. I love the Valley. That is true. I'm honored to be here. Thank you for driving all the way to the valley, to my humble little apartment. It's my happy place.

I love the valley. That is true. So I'm going to start right away with the number one question, how the hell do we know each other? Oh my gosh, this is the best. People think, like, I don't know, like, you're so cool that, like, I don't deserve to be, like, friends with you or something.

Stop it. In my circle, they can't believe I'm friends with Kristen. That's true. And we'll get into how I met, how I met your mother, father, how I met your wife. Yes. But I moved here in 2007 and you were like one of the first five people that I met. That's amazing. Wild, right? So you want to tell the story? So my best friend's older brother is on my space.

God bless. Shout out to Gary. Shout out to Len. Shout out to Tom. MySpace Tom. I miss it. I miss it too. And we're like these gutter rat valley kids, even though that I was like working on a TV show and whatnot.

Like I grew up in a two bedroom apartment in North Hollywood and we were, you know, typical 20 year olds like, basically just living by the seat of our pants, didn't go to college. My best friend Len and his older brother are running a refinance shop out of their two-bedroom apartment. Like, I'm pretty sure they're completely to blame for the 2008 economic crisis.

That's sick, though. And I just remember that Gary was like, yeah, brah, I met this girl on MySpace, brah, Kristen. We did. It's true. I started looking up singles in studios in California. So there was a dating element to MySpace like that? Yeah, kind of.

You could just look. I knew just like three people. So I remember being like, yeah, like I could find people that were on my space in Studio City and I lived in Toluca Lake at the time. And then I saw his profile picture. I thought he was cute. And then he asked me to go to do you know where our first date was? No. Runyon Canyon. Perfect. Jesus Christ.

OK, keep going. And I remember he was like, yeah, brah, I met this girl. And he brings Kristen over. And with all due respect, I'm like, what are you doing? Dating this smoke show? And how is she at your apartment? Like where literally we like found the the furniture in an alleyway? Like he had one.

They had one of the TVs that was built into a cabinet. That was their first TV. Our boy Jaime, rest in peace, used to, like, sleep there, and, like, he had sleep apnea. So he would snore so loudly, and Kristen would come out of Gary's room and be like, what the fuck is going on here?

And we're like, Jaime needs his rest, that's what. Um, and, like, Gary's room and be like, what the fuck is going on here? And we're like, Jaime needs his rest. That's what. And like Gary's room, shout out Gary. I don't think he would mind me completely throwing him under the bus. He's going to love all of all of this attention right now. Like it was a very standard two bedroom apartment. And in Gary's room, he had two desks, two whiteboards, and it was called South Cal Financial. And they were running this refi shop out of the apartment.

But again, we were like these 20 year old kids. So like everybody would wake up at 11 o'clock. Gary would wake up early. He was responsible. But we would all wake up at 11 and then we would go eat like sushi at 12, and we thought we were like mad men in 2008, and everyone would get like drunk at lunch, and then nap till four, and then they'd be like, there was like some special time between four and six where everyone was getting home.

Like it's rush hour, rush hour. And like they'd bang phones for two hours trying to get someone who made $30,000 a year to refi their home for two and a half million dollars. And yeah, and so he was dating Kristen and we became friends and the rest is history. Yeah. Oh my God, I forget because I was, yeah, I was 24. Like I forget how young y'all were. And you were down to clown.

You were part of the crew. Yeah. You were fun. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you were like an you were down to clown. You were part of the crew. Yeah. You were fun. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, you were like an elitist. I think I was like super fun. No, I was a broke ass waitress at Sir, an aspiring model. And then I wanted to be in, I think

I've talked about this in the podcast, but like when I moved here, I wanted to be in music business because I was a musician. But like I was like, I'm not going to make it in a band. I'm not going to be a vocal performance major, singing opera forever. And then I started the music business whole thing. This was like the AOL and Nokia days and all of that.

I had this mentor who was like, you're going to read all these articles and do all this every single day and then I'll put my name on your resume. And I hated it. So then I wanted to act because I did a lot of theater and musical theater and all of that growing up. And Josh, you introduced me to my first acting coach. And I started taking class.

And I'll never forget, like, I want to say it was like my second week there. And I was given these sides, which is like part of a script. So you're given. OK, I don't know if you know what that was. Sorry. So I was given these sides to play this whatever this character was. And it wasn't you know, this is like very early days of me not grasping real acting. That's not just like theater, you know. And I was like, no, I just refused.

I'm like, no, I don't know how to connect with this character. It just doesn't even make sense. And I think he was your coach at the time, right? Or at least, I don't know, you'd introduce him. His name is Greg. And he made me sit outside on the curb and go last in class. And I started crying and I was like embarrassed and I was frustrated.

And that's exactly why he made me sit outside and go last. And he was like, see all the feelings you're feeling fucking use it. And it was like, to this day, it's like one of my greatest memories of like killing that scene in that class. It was very cool. But yeah, then I was a waitress at Sir and became a fucking reality personality. So there's that. I remember Gary bringing up Sir and he was like, yeah yeah, brah, she works at some, like, restaurant

in West Hollywood. And again, we were sort of, we lived 20 minutes from West Hollywood in that scene, but we were sort of insulated from it. And so, I mean, obviously, the show wasn't on yet, but Sir had a reputation, and people went, and it was cool. And I just remember him being like,

yeah, bro, she works at this restaurant. They have good pomodoro. Like, really, whatever. And, uh, and yeah. And, but to your credit, you were like down the clown. You were fun. You wanted to be part of the crew. You wanted to be with the boys.

Yeah, because I was just some, like, Midwestern, normal person. And it was just so cool to meet people that weren't, you know, what I had envisioned. Like, I was so scared of, like, Hollywood. Because my girlfriend that I'd moved here to live with for a bit, she was an actress. She did a lot of film and, like, soap operas.

And I had been around for so many years visiting her that I saw the Hollywood era and the scene and the people. Actually, I think I told you this the other night, but Hillary and Haley Duff at the time lived in Toluca Lake. And I had like been to their house before I moved to LA and I felt so fucking cool. Oh, yeah. I'm like, oh, this mansion with a pool like on a lake. And it's like Hillary and Haley Duff. Like I don't belong here. So rad. But it was very fun to like meet people like you guys that I just felt like I didn't have to impress. Yeah.

I wasn't scared. And then you became a big deal. Well, well, you were a big deal before that, but I was way too old for Josh and Drake. Yeah, I mean, I don't I hopefully I never walked around with that air that never that there was an air at all to begin with. But yeah, I just remember. And then and then you left Gary for Tom Sandoval. Oh, my God. You broke his heart. And then you kind of went back to Gary for a little bit. We're back to tell you. Yeah.

You got to bounce around a little bit. Oh, yeah. I was. Yeah, I was juggling the two at once. And then how about that? You hear that, Gary? Ouch. Right.

That hurts. Yeah. And and the way that I got called out on it one day, I was working at Sir. And this is great. Yeah. And who picked Gary came in. Gary or no, Gary picked me up from work, came in Gary or no Gary picked me up from work

I think one of them picked me up from work and they had just left the Belmont Which is a bar in a bar restaurant in West Hollywood that we know great I dated a waitress at the Belmont and they who has they were at the Belmont together because Tom Called JJ my old roommate and, Gary had just like was taking me to Landmark Forum. Oh my god. It's all coming out dude. Yeah. I remember this story. The cult is, yeah there's a chapter in my book, you guys, he's making you crazy available on Amazon, but there's a chapter in my book called The Cult and so anywho, Tom like tricks my roommate into giving him Gary's number because he's like, well, I'm just really curious

about this thing she's been going to for the weekend and blah blah blah and It was really so they could like exchange war stories And so they went to the Belmont together and they're like you're dating her. Oh, I'm dating her. Are you sleeping with her? I'm sleeping with her. Do you think they ordered apps? Probably like wings or something nice. Yeah, like wings in a brew share the plate Yeah, there's something like potato skins when you're hearing about another dude slamming your girlfriend right Solid. Yeah, so that that ended exactly how you think it would I essentially lost both of them for like five seconds

And then got tom back And then gary a little later and then tom. I love it Have Gary a little later. And then Gary a little later. I love it. Have you ever been on Watch What Happens Live? No. You need to be. I feel like I tried to be for my book and they passed. I'm going to do something about that.

I was willing to be a bartender. I'm like, I'll literally be a sober bartender. You can't be a bartender. You need to be the main guest. I'll be the bartender. I mean, as long as I don't have to try your iconic For the love of God, I feel like they'd want your take like Jerry O'Connell on there You know if they've christened with her if you went with Kristen, you know, I kill it. I'd kill it. Yeah, it'd be awesome

Thanks, dude. So your father-in-law Ken O'Brien former ex NFL quarterback Yes, there ever a time where you were like intimidated, terrified of the man? He has a very intimidating stature. Yeah, physically. Physically, yeah. I just met him for the first time. Yeah, he could beat the shit out of me. He could step on you.

He's 61. Damn. You didn't think that, did you? No. He doesn't dye his hair either. He looks so good. Tell me about it. But he is a massive human being.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you the But he is a massive human being. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you the story of when I proposed to Paige. Okay. So you guys have been together 12 years now since you started dating. Just about, yeah. At Halloween, it'll be 12 years. And she was 20, which is wild.

She was 20. I was 24. Yeah. So we had dated for about five years. And okay, I'm going to turn this into a long story, but there's like some fun moments. So I decide that I want to propose to Paige, it's like 2015. And I call my big brother who I've had like a big brother from the big brother foundation

since I was eight. And we have like a marquee, you know, storybook relationship. He was the best man at my wedding, like almost 30 years later, we're in each other's lives. And he's got like this thick Boston accent. And I said, I want to propose to Paige. I want to get a ring, like any suggestions. He's like, Josh, man, he's like, call your mother right now

and tell her to help you with this. He's like, she's going to thank you forever. He's like, because once you propose, it's going to be about your wife and her mother. But your mother is going to love you forever for doing this. I go, OK. So I call my mom. I'm like, I want to propose to Paige.

She obviously already loves Paige. I'm like, do you have any suggestions? She's like, send me over the dimensions. And I go, okay. And so, literally, an hour later, like, I tell her the cut and, like, what I'm thinking. Wait, how did you know? Did Paige tell you what she wanted?

At this time in 2015, it's a great question, the oval diamond was popular. Yes. And Blake Lively had this beautiful oval ring. question, the oval diamond was popular. And Blake Lively had this beautiful oval ring. Now, I didn't realize Blake Lively's fucking ring was like 18,000 carats. So literally, if it was in the shape of an arm,

it would look cute. So I tell my mom, oval and carats and what the band... I wanted it to be like, and she goes... An hour later, I get a call from my mom. She goes, There's a rendering in your email. So I open the email and it's beautiful ring and my mom's getting it hooked up by her guy in jersey, so you know it's good. And then I'm about to order the ring, and I'm talking to my friend, Padgett Brewster, who's a great actress who played my mom

on the show Grandfather that we did together. And I show her the ring, she's like, oh, it's beautiful. But Oval at that time was sort of, it wasn't classic by any means, it was more trendy. It was trendy, yeah. And she said to me, she's like, did she say that she really wants this kind of ring?

And I said, no, but she's mentioned that she likes this ring and this kind of shape of a diamond. And she goes, I would make sure, because if she hates it, she'll never tell you, but she'll hate it forever. That's so true. And it was great advice. you but she'll hate it forever." And it was great advice. So I went with, I knew she liked, you know, like a cushion cut classic. Like she was cool with that.

So I haven't made, comes like a month or two later. And then I just came to kind of sat on it, which is my way, because I just didn't know the perfect time. So I remember we were going to Paris. So from the time you actually get the ring, how long until Paris? Three or four months, maybe? A while.

Did you freak out having to like hide it, hold it, make sure you didn't lose it? Is it in the right spot? It was in my mom's safe. Okay. In her apartment. Okay. So I'm going to Paris and I'm just gonna shout out

all of my wife's family members, because I'm sure they're listening. They're the best. They love you guys. We're obsessed. Shout out on Jenny, her aunt, who was like, I feel like she was like the one in the family who, when we would come over for family, you know, holidays and stuff, she'd be like, what are you waiting for? Like, there's always one, there's always one auntie who's like, come on already, stop it. So I knew we were going to Paris. I was working there for Paris Fashion Week and I was like, I'd really like to do it. I imagine that she's expecting something

She said she wasn't but I imagine people were like, oh you're going to Paris It's pretty romantic It's pretty romantic. Eiffel Tower. City of Love. So I'm like, I gotta do it. And if I don't do it there, I just imagine that she would be like, this fucking guy. Yeah, like it's never happening now. Yeah.

Totally. So we're going to Paris and it's the day before and I'm like, I gotta ask her dad for permission. Oh, so you have not asked Ken yet. No. Oh shit. So we get back to Ken and the intimidation factor. So at this time I show up at the house and it's a busy house because you know,

there's four siblings, someone's always living at the house, like temporarily. There's always people there. And I pull up to the house and I remember Ken literally walks out of the garage and he goes, Josh, you know where everyone is? Like I'm all alone. The house is completely empty.

Oh my God. And I just look up and I'm like, good work God. Yeah. Yeah, seriously. You're like, now's the time. Fuck, I'm going to shit my pants. And I know that once I ask him, like right now I have a ring, right? But like once I ask him, I'm in.

It's the same as asking her. Yeah. Yeah. There's no backing out now. So I was like, Hey, Ken, I want to ask you something. And he's like, yeah, no, he has a normal voice. We're like in the garage. We're like surrounded by tools.

It's so masculine. So bro-y. Wrenches and whatnot. Man're like in the garage, we're like surrounded by tools. It's so masculine. So bro-y. Wrenches and whatnot. Man caving in. Yeah, like a second fridge, like a meat fridge. And I'm like, you know, I wanted to ask your permission to marry Paige. And he goes, oh, oh. And he goes, well, you know what? If you love her and she loves you, then yeah, I think that's great.

You have my permission. And kind of a moment passes and I go, bet. Oh. I was like, how are you? And he's like, I don't think I can do small talk with you right now. And I was like, okay, got it, got it, got it. It's pretty sunny out from Manhattan Beach. Woo.

We were. Yeah. And the next day before we went to Paris, because I knew I wasn't going to try to smuggle it through TSA. And then wait, so really quick. So before Paris, did everyone else know? As I just threw my pencil. I'm so excited. I'm like, did everyone else know? As I just threw my pencil. I'm so excited.

I'm like, did Stacey know her mom? Did like her siblings? Did everyone know? Her mom knew because Ken told her mom the next morning and then she called my mom. Okay. And so that was really sweet. But I don't think the siblings knew.

Which is probably better because the girls have big mouths. For sure. I love you guys so much, but I don't think the siblings knew. Which is probably better, because the girls have big mouths. For sure. I love you guys so much, but they do. They love to chat. Yes. 10 seconds on the clock. How many things can you name that are always growing?

And so, yeah, I proposed the next day and in the morning right before we left. And so we just got to go have this amazing sort of trip and be engaged. And it was, it was pretty perfect.

So I was terrified of her dad in that moment, but I mean, I, again, I don't want to start a dating or were you ever intimidated by him or did you always just click and it was cool? No, I, yeah, I really respected him. And I feel like, because he's not hacky in the sense of like, as a comedian person, like what I hate is like typical. Right. Like that dad who's schmucky and makes like stupid jokes and is like

unnecessarily intimidating. He's like a true alpha. And I think alphas get a bad rap. I actually think like the men who really suck are like beta, beta males. Shout out. I think we know a couple. Yeah. Want to be alphas. Yeah. Right. Who's the main man in the group?

Yeah. Who's the number one guy in the group? Who's the number one guy in the group? That's right. Ariana. Now. Right. Ariana is a true alpha. Yeah. But like, I think real alphas lead quietly and. Great point. And I would say thatphas lead quietly. And great point. And I would say that about her dad. So he always made me feel like confident.

And even when there would be like family members, because yeah, I mean, it's a family, even the extended family, it's all athletes. It's all like, and he would never make me feel less than even if like, you know, an uncle was kind of ribbing me. He'd be like, well, what do you, you know, you know, an uncle was kind of ribbing me, he'd be like, well, what do you, you know, you know, he's had your back. Yeah. Like, and who are you to talk uncle so and so?

Like I've seen you though too. Totally. So it's all good. I love that. Me becoming a kid actor, the circumstances that led to it were so specific that it was as though there was no other option for me. Yeah. You were a comedian.

I mean, you loved comedy. You wanted to do like stand up and you wanted like you just had all the energy. Like that's just who you are. You're a performer. You're an entertainer. Yes. You know, I mean, Shia's a baby. Max is four, right? Going in five. So obviously, that's not where they're at yet in life. But yeah, let's say, I don't know, five to 10 years from now,

and they're watching dad do his thing and they're understanding it more. Would you be supportive of that? Or would you want them to like wait a bit still? I would say two things. The first was that as a kid, I was like overweight and I had this comedic. You know, I was like the theater kid. And so my mom, being a good parent, was like, I'm gonna support this, because if it were Little League

or anything else that gave him confidence, I would support that, like typical kid things. Just so happens to be this thing. And she kind of poured jet fuel on it, because she always wanted it for herself. But she was really supportive, but also like, she was a single mom, I never knew my dad, and I was the only child. So when I got offered a TV show at 13 and to move 3,000 miles from New York, where I

grew up, where our whole life was, it was possible. My sons, they don't have that. They have a really stable home. They have a whole life here in LA. They don't have the financial insecurity that I grew up with. So the idea of uprooting everyone to go to, if they got a TV show in Toronto, that's much less realistic. So I would say the circumstance aren't the same. And then for me, I would tell my kids, have fun, do it for fun for me I would tell my kids have fun do it for fun and I would support them to go to acting class and do all the things that they love as long

as they enjoy it but I also think that the difference between starting at 13 and 18 is only five years but the public perception is massive that's true because if you start at 13 your in're in quotes a kid actor, which infers freak. Yes. Which infers like, Oh no, what's going to happen to this person? Yeah. Are they going to fall off? You know, just all the child actors we knew growing up, like the Corey's and the like all of that, you know, it's like, yes, either they're going to continue to make it or they're just just gonna be complete failures. Like there was no really in between Totally or they could wait five years and it really will have no impact other than they won't have to fight that whole public

Perception cuz they'll just be seen as adults. Yeah, that's a fucking good point interesting. I feel like Because like as I was with your children the other night having dinner and my ovaries were just like on fire. I hear that. I hear it all the time. Oh, he knows. I started my period today and I said it with a sad face and normally I'm like, oh thank

God. And now I'm like, no, it didn't work. Are you guys trying? And how long have you guys been together? We're not sure. Luke, what do you, We don't have like a... We don't have a date necessarily. We started dating, but it was early June

when we were in that wedding together and hooked up and we talked basically every day from then on. Yeah. But it like probably like October? Late October probably around Halloween. But it's like he lives in Colorado and then he comes and stays in LA for like a month or three weeks or whatever. And then he comes and stays in LA for like a month

or three weeks or whatever, and then he goes back to Colorado or Indiana. A couple weeks here, a couple weeks there. Yeah. How well did you guys know each other before you hooked up in June? Or did you meet in June? We didn't.

You met at the wedding? We met one time before that through the same friends that got married, and then we stood up in the wedding together, and they paired us. Oh, and they paired us. Oh, and you guys, that's- And I had just got broken up with a week before that.

Right. So I was, yeah. A week, two weeks, something like that. Something like that. I think it was like a week, yeah. I don't know. Whatever. But essentially, the bride and groom at that moment

were like, Luke, you could hook up with this girl, or this girl, or this girl. And then I became single, and then they were like, oh, you're Kristen's single. Yeah, they both were like, here's the single girl. Here are the single bridesmaids. Yeah. The wedding night, you guys hooked up or are we talking rehearsal dinner? No, rehearsal dinner. She was still distracted with her phone and X and stuff. And then what your friends took your phone. Yeah, actually Jill Kimmel. I don't know if you know Jill Kimmel, Jimmy's sister.

She's a comedian. So she was at the wedding. So her and another friend of mine took my phone and they were just like, we're taking your phone. You're not going to know who has it, but you don't really need it. And I was like, you know what? You're actually right. Like if my if there's some emergency back home, my mom knows how to get a hold of the friends that I'm with.

There's no reason I need to be freaking out over this dumb ex anymore. So for the rest of the weekend, I just didn't have my phone. And so I was no longer distracted. And then at the wedding, I don't know, I was drunk. We took a little bit of mushrooms and then we had sex behind a tent. No, while the wedding was going on.

Yeah, I was in my tux. She was in a dress. I was in a dress, yeah. So the wedding was going on. Yeah, I was in my tux. She was I was in a dress. Yeah So you guys use protection? Yeah, obviously not yeah, and then that was yeah, then I don't know it was awesome And then it was mostly just the conversation that we sat on the phone every day for like five to six hours I'd be up till 3 a.m. sometimes and on Eastern, you know, on the Eastern time, you're like, it's getting kind of late here.

And you're like, holy shit, it's 3 a.m. where you are. I'm like, yeah, well. And he's a young and he's only 31. Yeah, I can see that for you. He's mature. I get that. He's a lot more mature than the guys I was on a TV show with or any of the guys I've ever dated. They're old as dirt.

Oh, it's such a turn on when you can really talk to someone a TV show with or any of the guys I've ever dated. They're old as dirt. It's such a turn on when you can really talk to someone that you're into and like you can't be with each other physically. And you can just talk and text and you can like dance around the fact and then get away from the fact and then jump right into the fact. Like that attraction. I mean, that's like the good stuff in life. Well I was thinking back like because I didn't meet Paige right away but I was thinking back as long as I've known you I don't remember you ever dating anyone else. Did you have any girlfriends like when I knew you before Paige? I did but it very, it was pretty casual. I never brought them around. Yeah. I like literally thought back through all my memories and I was like, I don't recall

seeing you with a girl ever. There was maybe like two girls in total that I dated before Page that I would like say I in quotes dated, but I never brought them around my mom. I never brought them around my friends. There was one girl who I dated, who I remember I them around my mom. I never brought them around my friends. There was one girl who I dated who I remember I invited all my friends over to watch like a boxing match, like a pay-per-view boxing match. And growing up the way we did, like if you were shelling out the 60 bucks for boxing, like you had 30 people in your house. Oh yeah. Packs gonna pay.

I'm still like that. I'm like UFC, I Al Baio's coming over. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, I remember, and I invited her to that and like, my boy Len was like, wow, so that's her, huh? Like, wow, I can't, I've been hearing about it for, you know, a couple months. But yeah, I remember Paige and I met on Halloween. And then I was actually funny enough going- Where did you guys meet? I actually don't even know. we met at a Halloween party in the valley just so randomly why was she in the valley I know it makes no sense because she's like a beach kid yeah her best friend's boyfriend had a notoriously famous Halloween party every year okay because he was from the valley and they had this big house and so we had gone a few years

before that, and she went because of her best friend. I just remember us looking at each other throughout the party, throughout the night. She says we didn't look at each other at all. That's not true. And... Calling you out, Paige.

Shout out her friend, Ani, who kind of, like, set up the handoff because she walked up to me and started a conversation, and I was like, so nice to meet you, who's your friend? And I think she kind of knew that we were, I don't know, connecting. It was serendipitous. It was really meant to be.

And again, it sounds cooler than I am, but I was headed to make this movie in France for three weeks in the next day. What movie? Oh, it's a 3D dance movie with Chris Brown called Battle of the Year. I don't mean to brag, Luke, but I'm a working actor. And with people like Chris Brown. No, we watched the Wackness. We did watch the Wackness a couple days ago.

I was like, this is lit. I told you the other night, it's one of my favorite movies ever of all time. Thanks. I don't, and it's not just because I knew you when you shot that movie, but I'm like sir Ben Kingsley The man my favorite actor. Yeah, are you kidding me? Like what a great cast. What a great movie What a great role and you came to the premiere like the premiere party. Mm-hmm I remember you were in a blue dress over the dress Well, I'm not to be confused with the green dress guys

Oh is that is there a famous green dress from Vanderpump when I went over to Tom's to get my DVR box back VPR pretty yeah epic But anyway, but yeah, so we watched the wackness and I was like Luke You have to right when we got back from the dinner and I'm like you're gonna love this. All right That's when we watched it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I thought that your little snow cart was so funny. And your character's name was Luke. That's not a cover up at all.

Yeah, Luke Shapiro. Luke Shapiro. Classic. Such a good movie. It's a great movie. And actually, I wrote this down because right before we started this podcast, what did you ask him? You were like, how's it going?

Or what are you working on right now? Or something like that. You said something about what are you working on? Staying busy. That's what you said. And in your book, what I one of my favorite things is you wrote. What have you been up to is kryptonite for an actor? Yes. OK, now I know if you have because in those lull moments. Totally. And I even feel that way.

I'm like, oh, well, I like wrote this book a few years ago and like, I'm getting ready to start a project. So if you're not just like, which you are obviously working all the fucking time, but in the lull moments of your career, when you had a downtime where you were auditioning or whatever it was, it's like, how the fuck do you answer that question? Like I'm raising kids. That's what I'm doing, guys. And the truth is most people probably aren't, you know, nine out of 10 people, especially

if they care about you, they're not doing that thing where they're, you know, the fear was always, oh no, I hope they're not thinking of me as just like yet another out of work actor, right? Which for most journeyman actors in this business is a reality. It's make hay when the sun's shining. I forget what it's called. But like, it's seasonal almost, right? You'll have a moment and friends and I've talked about it where it's like, wow, like three or six months or even a year where you're like, this is, if only every year was like this. And then it's like, oh no, now like get ready for the winter.

Because it could be six months, it could be a year, and it could have nothing more to do with that. It's just not right. You're not right in that moment. So yeah, luckily I'm much more, you know, I went over two years without working. And I remember getting that question and it would elicit so much feelings where people like you were probably just asking that because people ask everyone that.

Yeah, exactly. I was going to say that's like a casual, see a friend from the Midwest, I'm like, hey man, how you doing? You staying busy? Totally. That's just what you say, yeah. But I-

Don't mean nothing behind it, you know? It's just like, what's going on with you? Yeah, exactly. It's the things that we connect to that question. And so luckily now I can point to things that I'm working on and I feel much more secure in that way. But surely I went through times where I felt totally leveled by that question. Because again, like you said, you don't know what to bring up.

Right. Yeah. Plus you guys have NDAs and stuff. It's stuff you can't talk about, right? Well, Christian does. When you get into certain shows. Yeah, yeah you guys have NDAs and stuff. Stuff you can't talk about, right? Well, Christian does. Yeah, yeah. That reality NDA. No more, right?

No more. That's right. We're free. We are free. I like it. I can't believe it. So I got a question for you regarding work. What's your favorite role you've ever played in a movie? Oh, wow. I mean, I'm proud of the wackness and playing Luke Shapiro at that time like playing a New York sort of drug-using hip-hop head

during that time like 1994 the greatest time for hip-hop ever like Illmatic, Ready to Die and Tupac's album came out that year and Rue Teng Klan like it just was such a it was just such a moment. And Sir Ben Kingsley, my favorite actor. So I do love that. But recently I made this show for Disney Plus called Turner and Hooch, which was a remake of the movie. And we made 12 episodes of it. And my wife and my son Max and I were up in Vancouver for almost a year and now being in my 30s and it's not just about the project, it's about, because inevitably you hope the movie or the show you're doing does well, but you spend eight months of your life making it,

whether it does well or not. It's important that that doesn't suck and that you enjoy your time, you like the people you're working with. I loved the people that I worked with for that year enjoy your time. You like the people you're working with. And I loved the people that I worked with for that year. And I was so proud of the thing that we made. And so, yeah, I would, funny enough, and it wasn't necessarily the flashiest gig I've ever had, but playing the part I did on Turner and Hooch

was one I was pretty proud of. That's awesome. Speaking of that, oh yeah, it's so. It's sweet. It's just like a good family show. I remember when you were on it and I was texting with you and we were talking about the dogs because it was two different dogs. Five. Oh, it was five?

Five, dog du bordeaux. And then there was like a robo dog. Right? Yes, and then there was like a puppet dog that was controlled by three different people, three different puppeteers with radio controls. One guy had his hand in the mouth. It was crazy. Yeah.

And speaking of that, one of the Ask Me Anything questions came from Beka Tobin. Does he miss me? Beka? Yeah. She's the greatest. She said, does he miss me? Terribly. You're friends with Becca, right?

I am, yeah. And she moved to Austin. I'm wild for her. And has a baby now. I know. She's killing it. She's the best. You'll meet her one day.

She's fantastic. Let's go to Texas. I love Texas. Yeah, it's amazing. That show was six Becatobans. It was like six gems of people who I just loved, I'm still friends with. And as you know, like you don't get to pick your castmates. Right. It's rare that you love them. Yeah. And so that is why I feel so so warmly about that time.

And like, what a cool project to like remake a Tom Hanks. Yeah. Fucking classic. And the critics thought I did a great. No, they didn't. Really? No, no. It just was it's impossible. I mean, we're talking legend status. So they're like, yeah, but his shoes is in part. They weren't terribly mean.

They were just like, yeah, he's a nice kid. He's not Tom Hanks. And I'm like, duh. Yeah, I was like, who is? But they would say they would say that about Colin Hanks. You know what I mean? Fair enough. It doesn't even you can't please.

And we all know. I think everyone at this table said Chad Hanks guy. Am I right guys, Chad Hayes? Yeah. Shout out. Shout out. Love it, she makes that sound. Oh my gosh.

Oh my god, I have so many, OK, I have so many, so many, so many questions. So I'm not going to talk to you about sex, because it just would like weird me out, because it's you. However, I'm asking you, I'm going to only ask you one sex question. Do it. When you and Paige were trying'm asking you, I'm going to only ask you one sex question. When you and Paige were trying to get pregnant, any of the times, was it romance or was it like I'm ovulating, get in here, hold my legs up? Because, you know, I have many girlfriends

who have now like almost two year olds. So they all were pregnant at the same time. And I've heard all of their stories that it was literally like, ovulation stick, happy face, get in here, make it happen, holding my legs up in the air. Were you guys like that, or was it just like, I mean, no, we just, one day we just found out we conceived and it was so precious.

It's so funny. Yeah. Where my buddy Janice, Janice Pappas, the great comedian says like when women turn their bodies into a pinball machine because they're trying to like move the sperm to their ovaries. Okay. Pages sisters and mom turn the podcast off. You can turn it back on in five to eight minutes or maybe shorter. I don't know. Okay. To my wife's credit, I would say our sex life is great because of her, because for me, like I big surprise, I'm a sober guy. So like, I like to overdo things.

And she was like the one who was like, this is a healthy amount of time to hook up. And by not like overdoing it, like the times in which we do it Will be great and Luke. Do you hear that? I know it's fucking bullshit You know I'm saying it's like let's do it Technical issue here looks like only if only you and I in another world be you and I together Five times a day like I know yes, we used to do it five times a day, like every day. Yes, we used to, but life happens. We're all living in the shadow. Most men, I would say, not to project,

are living in the shadow of what it was like in the first three months, for sure. We're like, can't we just get back there just for a couple days? Yeah, in Mexico or something. Let's go somewhere and get back there for a couple days. Is that why you want to go on vacation so badly? No, of course not.

Let's go to Pachanga there for a couple days. Is that why you want to go on vacation so badly? Yeah, no, of course not. Let's go to, you know, Pachanga and let's just get wild. So yeah, so we've always had a healthy sort of relationship that way. You know, we were young and Paige was, yeah, I don't know, I think she was 27 or 28. We got married in June of 2017. 2017, yeah. Oh yeah, and then you had Max in 2018. Yeah. So it was like, we weren't even married a year. And so it must have been March. And I remember it was like the only time that we had ever said like, let's just see what happens. We had had friends who had had a hard time conceiving. So we knew we wanted

to have kids and we imagined like, even if it takes us a year, if we start now, that's a pretty good timeline. A month later. Wild. She was pregnant. And it just was casual. Fertile. Myrtle.

And it's just- As is her mom, because they have four kids. Shout out my mother-in-law's fertility. Yeah. Yeah, and it's about the people together, right? You just kind of have to mix in that way. Shout out my mother-in-law's fertility. Yeah. Yeah, and it's about the people together, right? You just kind of have to mix in that way. And I remember we were doing, Luke, you're looking at Kristen. Tell us more.

We all want to know. You got nothing to say. Keep talking. Your face is so red right now. There's quite a look. People are asking. I'm their representative. What's going on there, guys?

Say more. Luke's asking, I'm their representative. What's going on there, guys? Say more. Luke's young. I'm not. I'm like, I want a baby right now. Kristen wants a baby yesterday, last month, last year. Yeah. Yeah. Fair.

Plus, I just love him. I think that's my purpose on this earth, is to be a mom. To be mature. And just be motherly with all my friends. I'm the fixer and the mom. I'll take care of everyone else before I take care of myself. So I quit smoking cigarettes a year ago. As you know, I smoked for like 15.

Oh, my God. 15 fucking years. I smoked cigarettes. And when my doctor was like, well, you got to quit about three months before you want to start trying, I was like, done. Wow. Bye. I understand. I mean, I understand Luke's reservation just because it's, it's new and fresh. And I understand where you're coming from where you're like, let's do it already. So I would imagine those two things combined that

you guys, if it happens, it'll be the perfect time. Yeah. And I, what I've heard from a lot of people is like, don't stress about it. And the more you stress, it's like, just stop thinking about it. Just have sex all the time and don't stress about it. I'm here for it. Luke's very supportive of that. Well, the more we have sex, the less stress you have, right? Doesn't that go hand in hand?

That part, listen, I mean, Luke, let's be honest. We're with some lovely-looking women. Right? We win. Right? You know what I'm saying? And so, I've always thought, like, when people would... Again, like I said before, I hate hacky bullshit. I hate when people make old jokes or old colloquialisms and whatnot.

And so, when people are like, yeah, you know, it's hot and it's exciting for the first couple years, but then man, time takes over, you know? And I'm like, fuck that. I fucking hate married people that say that. Yeah, I'm like, because you let it. You let it get better. Right.

They're like, oh, marriage, it doesn't get any better. Trust me. I'm like, you're so miserable. I'm so excited for the rest of my life. That's what I think about when I turn 40. I'm like, fuck, I'm 40. Everyone stops saying I'm 40. Oh, but then I'm also like, dude, I have so many more years left to live. I'm so stoked to be with my one person forever and like

have a family. And like, once the kids are older, we'll go back to being like in our thirties or whatever again, kind of my sister's 46 with a 26 year old. So now my sister's like fully living her life again, you know? Yes. And so I, yeah, I hate when people say that shit about marriage. Yeah. I just think that there, there are certain things you can do to sort of mitigate that you guys falling into those things.

And I also like Tom Ford has this great quote about his husband who passed away, but he was with for like 30 years. And like, you also have to accept that like, there might not just be bad times, there might be bad years with the right person. And not that it's going to be bad the whole way, but like, if you guys are, you know, everyone's growing at their own speed, but hopefully you're just growing. We always like to ask, we don't, what do we say? Not achieving, but like defining a successful relationship.

Defining. Because it's not a destination, it's a journey. It's not like get there and be done. So that's, I'm like curious for, you know, you're a married man. You now have two babies. Like what's something you think that keeps you guys staying best friends and staying in love and stay keeping the romance and like all the stuff like if you were to give advice sum it up in a couple sentences there's something to be said about not giving up

you know in moments of frustration where like obviously certain things can't be not everything can be firing at all times and when you both accept that like right now, this isn't ideal, we're not operating at our highest level in this area, but we're not just gonna like lay down about it and there's work to be done. And it probably means there's like more communication necessary and there's a great saying in the recovery racket

of we will be amazed before we are halfway through. To me, that means that like, it doesn't usually take some gigantic Herculean effort. It's like burying your ego, being willing to like put more skin in the game, to be be vulnerable, to communicate fully, and then to try at least to make like small adjustments at your partner's asking of you. I would imagine for both of you, because I know for me,

when you see even that sparkle of someone, because people don't change. And so when you see your partner making the smallest effort to address something you've been feeling, you're just like, I've never loved you more. You're just like, thank you so much. One million fucking percent. Everything you just said, you just kept saying communication communication like that is I think

What I'm especially learning in my relationship with Luke is by far the healthiest relationship I've ever had because we are both willing to communicate on those things And as long as I don't make you make decisions, then you're willing to communicate. I'm really bad at decision making. That's okay. There's like fundamental, but like I know my wife sometimes looks at me and is like this fucking asshole. Like, Jesus. Like, it's utterly like, she used to say when we were dating, she doesn't say it as much

anymore, like you're annoying me. And I was like, oh really? And then of course, all my issues would come up and be like, oh, really? And then, of course, my all my issues would come up and be like, well, maybe we should just call it quits. I'd be like, let's pull the record then if I'm so annoying. And the reality. Are you looking at me? That sounds like me. I know that's she's like, didn't just leave me then.

Yeah, we have the issues, Chris. We do. Yeah, you're the page. I'm the Josh. That's for sure. Because people with healthy family systems and my wife taught me this was like you're allowed to have a bad day You're even allowed to go to bed mad, but family doesn't leave and so where are we going? So we're gonna figure this out now or maybe in a week from now It's never that long right but but when we do I'm to be here to figure it out with you. And that's huge. Whereas I was like, I guess I'm just going to perpetuate the bad behavior of my father, even though I never met him. Thanks, dad. Dude, same. Because I can't stand, I call him my sperm donor, but I mean, he's actually,

I knew him for most of my life. And then from like 18 on, we just have, I only talked to him with my grandma, like asks me to, but I didn't know until I was an adult what a shitty person he was. So now I'm just like, no. And now I look at my mom so differently and I used to think my mom was such a pain in the ass and like rules and this and that, whatever.

And now as an adult, I can look back and go, she sacrificed everything to like raise children. It's just it's pretty fucking wild okay, so now we just have a few fun questions some from the fans and Some from us and some from your family-in-law Okay, so question from the fans Have you watched Vanderpump rules and then my follow-up to that is did paid your wife force you to? Shout out my friend Adam. This is his quote. He's a producer on How I Met Your Father. I love him. You're a friend of his. He said Vanderpump Rules as a show, but the first few seasons

is maybe some of the best TV that has ever been since The Medium was created. Oh, God. But I definitely watch it with my wife. And the reason why we've all become such good friends is because one day she's watching the show completely enraptured. And up until this point, obviously, I knew you were on it, but I didn't watch it. And I walk into our bedroom and I go, oh, it's Kristin. And my wife goes, what did you just say? I'm like, that's Gary's ex, Kristen. Like that's my friend. And she goes, text her right now. And you did.

And I did. And then Kristen quickly said, I don't want to be friends with you. I want to be friends with your wife. And that was it. And that was it. Yeah. Paige and I would like FaceTime. And then I would like go over there. This is when you guys still lived in West LA and I became friends with her little sister. And yeah. Okay. So next question, who is your favorite sister-in-law and why? Wow. That's huge.

Can you guess who asked that question? Blake. Nope. Wow. Okay. Interesting. They both are great. That's a good answer.

If I had to pick. Right now it's, well, I would say Taylor is slightly, it's so hard. I would leave it at they're both great. They are both great. You know what? It's so funny because like Taylor will be like, hang out, like she'll be at our house a lot. She's working from home right now. And so she'll be like helping with the kiddos and be like, and I'll be like, Taylor, like there's no one like you. And then the weekend rolls around and Blake calls Saturday mornings like, would Max like to go out to breakfast with me and my boyfriend and we're going to have a lovely breakfast with your son. And I'm like, Blake, maybe you're the best. So

I sort of ask late back and forth. I'm really lucky. I really like my in-laws. It's corny. You have a great like family in-law. I agree. And Luke's one of four also. Huge. So I too have not quite in-laws, but I love all of them. Like his three siblings and his mom and his dad. And just like, how lucky are we, Josh? We're the luckiest. Would you ever do reality TV and which show would you want to be on? Oh, that is such a good.

I mean, I don't know where I'd fit in on Vanderpump. Like, what if I went and worked at surf for like. Well, you've been when we've been filming and no one knows that. Oh, yeah. Stassi's birthday party. Yeah. That when we were dressed like dead and gay pride and gay pride. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And gay pride. Yeah. Yeah. We ho, baby.

100%. But which show would you be on? Jersey Shore? Yes. I feel like you're Jersey Shore. I'm still a Jersey, Thursdays are Jersey days. Okay, so now we're going to do a little quick game of Fuck Mary Kill. Great.

And we'll start with Jersey Shore. Wow. Amazing. Angelina, Snooki, J-Wow. Snooki, it was nice knowing you. Wow, which is unfortunate. And then I guess I would hook up with Angelina and marry J-Wow. Really?

Yeah, even though J-Wow sometimes, she can throw you for a loop too. But she'd protect you. She'd be a protective wife. Yeah, and she's into that wrestler guy. So I feel like you know, okay Yeah, I got one for you. This is submitted by my brother. Yeah, actually he's hilarious So fuck Mary kill Wayne Campbell Austin Powers and Shrek Who's Wayne Campbell from Wayne's world Wayne's world? Oh Wayne Campbell all my all Mike Myers character and tray So good.

I guess I would sleep with Austin Powers, because I think he would have. You'd shag him. Clearly, yeah. I would marry Shrek, because that's a franchise movie. Shrek's fucking loaded. That is a great point. Yeah, and I would be a great sugar baby.

I'm in it for the money guys, so I'll be honest. I can't have the love. So sorry Wayne. Yeah, Wayne's gotta go. Wayne's broke. Yeah, he's got public access. Okay, and last one. Fuck Mary Kill.

Schwartz, Sandoval, Peter, Sir Manager. Wow, Peter reminds me of Gary. Totally does. Sandoval's gotta go because he has to pay for his sins. I would say, yeah, I'm going to... Peter's kind of weird though. Shout out Peter. He seems lovely though. I'm afraid I'm going to run into him in real life.

He's not weird. He's had funny seasons. Can we say that? Yes. But he might be more... It's tough. I think I'm going to up with short C and and marry Peter and marry Peter I think what do you think of that? I think you could marry Peter and be like have an open relationship Yeah, Peter's solid. He's gonna pay the bills Yeah, there's no monogamy in your relationship with Peter Peter comes off the most grounded

Do you guys think open relationships work? I don't hell no Hell no, so I don't. Hell no. Hell no. I don't think so. Luke's fine with me hooking up with a girl, but otherwise no. Yeah, well, because when we talked about this in the last podcast, there's bi-romantic and bisexual. Which is so interesting.

Kristen is not bi-romantic. No. What does that mean? That means she wouldn't have a relationship with a woman, but she finds a female body attractive. So she's sexually attracted to it, but as far a woman, but she finds a female body attractive. So she's sexually attracted to it, but as far as relationships go, she wants a man. I'm full on dudes.

It's probably because I'm so tall and I don't know. I like that Luke's taller than me and I'm always like, I feel like such a little girl. Oh, that's great. I think I want to believe that I could handle my wife being with a girl. Hell, oh, with a girl, okay. But I don't think I could. It's just not her vibe anyway. I would I could handle my wife being with a girl. Oh, okay, but I don't think I could It's just not hurt by I think I'd be jealous. Yeah, so what if you got to join? That's what I'm saying. That's just hell. I'm telling you. I've tried threesomes and it's no it's weird, right?

You're like tagging in you know, I'm gonna focus No, because if if a girl ever if he I've had one before with a boyfriend, and all of a sudden it was like truly an out-of-body experience. Like, I stepped away from the bed and watched them have sex, and it was the worst, one of the worst moments of, like, my life. Hell no. That's a hard hell no. Okay. Damn it.

Last question. Shout out to Meatloaf. Rest in peace. I would do anything for love, but I won't do what? That's a lot. I don't know how to. Do people usually answer that easily and quickly? Well, you're the first person we've asked.

Really? Yeah, I have my answer. I won't do Bukaki face. What's Bukaki face? Like take a bunch of dudes? So I thought it was just a guy bukkake face. What's bukkake face? Like take a bunch of dudes? So I thought it was just a guy coming on your face and Luke told me today it's when multiple people do. So I'm like, that's an easy, easier heart now.

But what guy's ever going to say, Hey, I'm gonna have my friends come over. I don't know. What you have to do to show you actually love me. Let us all. It's important. I don't know. So that's my answer. I would do anything for love, but I won't do bukkake.

Josh. Fascinating. So this is more like it could be anything Christmas is dirty. Yeah What about bukkake turd? I gotta know is it like I don't want lack of respect Well, yeah, I'm like also I don know, my eyes like and just I take really good care of my skin. I have bad allergies. I don't want it up my nose. Like it's just the whole thing.

And yeah, so like a lack of respect thing. Like it's one thing to jizz on my stomach, but on my face, like I'm cool. I bar before I met my wife and I'm not about to drop a crazy bombshell here. I had a buddy who was dating a porn star. And so there were porn stars around. Jax used to date a porn star. And a lot of these people I met were lovely people, but I did notice a trend of bad skin. And I wasn't sure whether it was just from bad living or from other reasons.

Oh, I wonder if it's bukakis. You heard it here first. What a way to end the pod. Right. But you still didn't answer the question. But I won't do that. I would do anything for love. I would do anything for love.

But I won't do that. What's that? I think it's most things. You wouldn't do most things. I'd like how do I say this? I think love in quotes is overrated. What's not overrated is my wife. Like I love my wife I respect her. She's the greatest person I've ever met and she would do anything for love But you wouldn't do anyone but page I would do anything for page But I wouldn't do anything for love but you wouldn't do anyone but Paige. I would do anything for Paige but I wouldn't do anything for love like I

think people are obsessed with the idea of love like the whole marquee and platitude. I totally am. I can feel that. Yeah I'm live, laugh, love, target aisle 1 million percent. Like what about like jumping out of a plane, skydiving, swimming with sharks like anything like it's a fear that you're like hard hell no. Yeah. Be covered with tarantulas. I'd anything for page, but like would you eat a cockroach alive one? Yeah, if I had to, I wouldn't be stoked on it. But like if Luke told me to eat a live cockroach, I would kick him to the curb and be like, we tried.

She's lying. I mean, we're so invested now. There'd be so much paperwork for page and I to get divorced. And it's like at this point, we own property, we have children. Yeah, you have assets. I don't want to get split in half. I don't make that much. So you would eat a cockroach. If I had to eat a cockroach.

But what I'm saying is, and maybe even more sort of revealing, is if it didn't work out with Paige and I, I wouldn't ever look for another spouse. I find that there are people who are like, well, if love doesn't work out for me with my partner, my husband, my wife, my whoever, like I'm dead set on finding love. I'm not. I wasn't interested very much to your point when I didn't have a lot of relationships before Paige.

I wasn't terribly interested in love before my wife. I just found someone who I was like, oh, you, you're my person. And I admire her. And she's made me a better person. And I think she's like the greatest mom. Totally. But if for some reason, God forbid, it didn't work out between us, I would just be like, yeah, I'll like hook up with like a CVS pharmacy tech here and there and just take care of my kids. Free vaccinations for life. Yeah, it's fun.

So that's the answer. OK, well, Josh, I love you so much. Love you. I'm obsessed with your book. You guys, happy people are annoying. Buy it everywhere you can buy books, probably mostly on Amazon where my book is. And listen to Good Guys podcast.

I have a small party in Oppenheimer coming out in July. That's right. Oh my God. I'm so excited about that. Hells. Yes. Oh my God. I can't wait till that movie comes out. Okay.
