Last season, millions tuned into the Betrayal podcast to hear a shocking story of deception. I'm Andrea Gunning, and now we're sharing an all-new story of betrayal. Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered

a terrible secret. I saw it in a folder, and I opened it. What the hell did I just see? Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Between April 1971 and September 1972, six young black girls were snatched off the streets in Washington, D.C. This child was laying on the side of the road. The person said, I murdered your daughter. The killer believed that he may have been seen. I will admit the others when you catch me if you can. Signed Freeway Phantom.

what is most obviously very crucially important. Today on This Is Important... Angry Tangle in a Funky Jungle. I like both of those a lot. I come from the Grind era, you know. Can I smoke weed? Hello, pull the ripcord. Here we go again. Let's go. We're back, baby. And welcome back to the podcast, Kyle. Good to have you again, my man. Hey, I'm just happy to hear the K-Fed, happy to hear the diarrhea, happy to see you guys, happy to be here. Friendship. Are we counting this as number two or one for Kyle?

I think this is three. This is three. Yeah. The friendship. Full boat. The boy is back in town and we're not talking thin, Lizzy. The boy is back in town. The boy is back in town. You know, guys, I do want to, one time on the pod, have a serious competition where we all... No, sir, I don't like it. Try to sing a song as well as we can. No joke about it. Oh, dude, I was thinking about that, Blake. Here it is. What do you mean? I was singing the old Folgers theme because I got this. Okay. Should we each try that? Okay. Yeah. I'm an Oakland coffee man. Yeah, I'll start.

And don't be funny about it. No, no, I was testing my mic and I was doing it. Okay, you ready? Okay. Let me wet my whistle. So weirdly, why did Folgers give us, they sent me a mug too in like five K-Cups? Because they're fucking Gs. They get it. Yeah. Big shout out. Yeah. And they have the best theme song of all time and here it goes. Here's my rendition. All right. Let's hear it. The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. Okay. Okay. Very good. Start it off rough. I love it. Rough? Yeah, rough. I mean, it's cool. It's cool to hear someone try. And that's, I think, what it's... All right. Well, I think I should... Yeah, go ahead. All right. I want to redo.

Okay. Wait, Derz, now really try. The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. He rushed it at the end. He did. He kind of pulled the ripcord on it. Yeah. Folgers in your cup. I think what happened is Derz got a little scared at the end. He was being a little vulnerable. I was scared my career was going to take off. Yeah. He was being a little vulnerable by singing and that scared him. I don't want to get pigeon-held as a musician. You have a very... Who was that? Raspy. Raspy voice. Yeah. Who was that guy in like the 90s? He had kind of a mullet. He was like, Rick Astley. Are we talking the 90s? Yeah. Wait, no. What was that guy's name? He was fucking cool. You're talking about Don Henley of the Eagles.

No, I'm not talking about Don Henley. It was... Who was Summer? What was that guy's name? Fuck, I'm going to have to... Tom Waits. What do you mean? Yeah, it was Tom Waits. There's a ton of people with raspy voices. It wasn't Tom Waits. It was like he didn't sing Desperado. Brian Adams. Is it Brian Adams? Brian Adams? It's not Brian Adams, but you are Brian Adams adjacent. But wait, did he sing on the Robin Hood soundtrack or not? He must have. This guy was built for the Robin Hood soundtrack. All for one and one for all. All right, Blake. It was Rod Stewart. It's obviously Rod Stewart. Rod Stewart. It's not Rod Stewart. It's freaking... Hey, well, Blake, if you don't know, then you don't know, and it's your turn to sing. Okay. All right. Ders, I really liked that. Thank you.

You can't set it up and then try to dodge the sing. All right, here we go. All right. The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup. Wow, with the flourishes. He put a little flourish. Yeah, it sounded real. Yeah, he put a little flourish on it. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that was nice. That was great. I mean, that was a good rendition, bro. See, here's what's cool is that Adam, you sing. I don't sing though. And I'm wondering how much better yours is actually going to be than ours. Yeah, come on. Yeah, probably not much better. That's the thing is I don't sing. Nope. Don't preface. Okay. Go ahead. Let's hear it.

The best part of waking up is soldiers in your cup. Wow. That was really good. I don't know. I don't know the song. Yeah, I like that. You made it your own. No, that was really, really good. It was like a much higher register. Arguably the best. There's part of waking up is soldiers in your cup. Now, that one has a stink on it. I like that. That's more my range. I thought it was higher. That was skinny Luther right there. That sounded like the mini mall guy. It's just like a mini mall. Mark it. Oh, yeah. That guy freaking rocked. Oh my God.

Hey, can I rock your guy's world? Please. Absolutely. Oh, chocolate. Okay. Change is the game. Chocolatey payday. Now, if you've been listening to us for a long time, you'll remember, I got a payday candy bar. We kind of got into it about it. Not really. Some of us like it. Some of us don't. Some of us claim it's a candy bar. Some of us don't. And this one's covered in chocolate. So is this just a baby Ruth? Uh, yeah, that's definitely they are. Yeah. Does baby Ruth have the connective tissue the same as the payday?

Oh, like the heavy Nugget Membrane? I thought a baby Ruth was just like a payday. A payday was just a naked baby Ruth, but now this is a chocolate payday. Well, it's just caramel, right? Or caramel? Caramel? How do you say it? I don't know. I say it both ways. Nugget? I thought it was Nugget on the inside. No, the stuff in the, in the three musketeers is the Nugget, I think. That is like a caramel. Yeah, you're right. Covered peanut caramel bar, but now it's covered in chocolate. Connective tissue is caramel. Okay.

So let me ask you this. Is that here to stay? Is that a permanent or is that a limited edition chocolate covered payday? Cause some of these limited edition candies are fucking good as fuck. And I wish they'd stick around. Yeah. You know who went crazy? I don't know if it's here to stay, but Reese's over the holidays went crazy. What's up with them? Bro, peanut brittle Reese's peanut butter cups were so fucking good. Yeah. I about lost my mind. I almost lost it. They had a Reese's peanut butter Christmas sweater that you could buy. Oh my God. I took a bunch of pictures. I'll post them,

but like I was at CVS and I was just in the aisle and they had a zillion insane things. Dude, the peanut brittle, if you can still get out there and get some of those Christmas candies before they expire, peanut brittle. Was it peanut brittle or was it toffee peanut butter cups? This one I got like specifically, these had the peanut brittle. It was delicious. I mean, from a marketing perspective, it sounds good. Peanut brittle cups, you know, absolutely. They went crazy. Yeah. You're buying that for the fam over the Christmas. Yeah. Good job Reese's and feel free Reese's to send us like no shots fired against Folgers. I like, you know, I actually don't really like Folgers, but you know, it's nice

that they sent us stuff. But look at that cup. Folgers is like, this is a diner cup. They sent an old school diner cup because Folgers, you know what they are? Fucking OGs of the coffee game. They really are. Yeah, that's right. Well, you say that Kyle, but what came in that cup? Some fucking bullshit, cured cups. Well, I know and they're plastic too. You shouldn't be using the plastic cured cups. Use the biodegradable ones. That's where my dad hides his weed in a an old Folgers can. Yeah, it really is the best part of waking up. Waking bake. I don't know why he hides it because who's he hiding it from? You so you don't smoke his weed. Okay. Also, is he hiding it or just keeping it in a place? Your mom will take that shit. Yeah, man. Roll it

No, you have to go in his shed. It's behind his toolbox. It's it's fully like he has to explain where it is. Let a man live an exciting life. Yeah, you know, that shit's important. I think it is like, you know, it's the older generation is still thinking that they're going to go to prison with like $11 of weed on them. I have knives hidden all over my house. I believe that about you. Also, though, Folgers cans were they used to come in a can before these curing things popped off and go off go off. The cans were perfect to put stuff in there. If you saved them, you washed them out, right? You could put stuff in them tax screws. They're perfect for workshops. So, you know, maybe you're maybe your pops got something baked in there where he's like, hey,

baked in for where he puts his weed, you know, just a storage container. This is where I get my work done. Yeah, get a little screwed up in a workshop. By the way, go ahead, Blake. Well, I was just saying like also half the fun of smoking weed is when it's illegal and you can get in trouble doing it. Maybe he's just kind of trying to hold on to that mystique. You hide your weed, you go off and have a puff. That's done though, right? You know, I love weed and I love weed. Like here in California, it's fun. All the other things like having can, you know, the company that I invested in having like having that be a legal thing that you could go to the store and buy or any of the like little cookies that you can go buy and little little candies. But there is

something pretty special about when he was illegal and you had to be like on the side, on the side of like your mom's house quick quick, taking a few rips before you had family dinner. So yeah, so my so I smoke a lot of like, you know, when I do and I'm on that tip right now. Nice. He's still gonna send it. And I got a three year old, right? And my three year old is like, like if I have like a fucking peanut brittle cup or something like that, he'll be like, you eat chocolate? You have chocolate? Right. Now I come in to like read him a story and I'm fucking smelling like weed because I just went and fucking toked up because I want to do my best in the story. Daddy smells like giggles.

Sticky. You have sticky kind. Okay. And he was like, he was like, what do you smell like? Like I came in smelling like weed and he's like, what is that smell? And I was like, uh, uh, and my wife's like, just say plant medicine. Okay. Plant medicine. And I was like, all right, cool. I smell like plant medicine. And that's what it is. Plant medicine. That's a really good, uh, good weed name. You should open start that call it God's burp. I remember as a really young kid smelling like my mom wouldn't let me go downstairs when my dad was with his brothers and they'd be down there and they were obviously smoking weed. But what they would do is also just chain smoke cigarettes to mask the smell. So I never really noticed the

weed smell that was that strong. I would be like, oh, this cigarette smell smells different than it normally does. That's important. So do you think you should start to smoke to again, to sort of mask the weed smell or you're just, I agree. Wait, what? What was that? You got to start smoking cigarettes again. Me to mask it for my kid. Yeah. Or get off the podcast or get off the pod. Okay. Well, you know, that's a easy choice. Hello. Pull the rip cord. Here we go again. We're back. I was very surprised about weed because my dad obviously just, uh, was dealing with cancer all of last year. And he was like, I just want to see if I could smoke weed. And then we're like, dad, you're not going to be able to smoke weed. You have fucking lung

cancer. And then the doctor, we're all FaceTiming because of COVID with the doctor, my dad's in there holding up the phone, doing a piss poor job of it, by the way. And the doctor, we were like asking all these questions. And then my dad doesn't have one question about his own health. And then at the very end was like, I got a question. And we're like, Oh, he's like, okay, this should be good. All right. Good. He's invested. And then he's like, can I smoke weed? And the doctor was like, yeah, I think that that that would be okay. Uh, because the carcinogen levels are so low and what we're about to put you through, it'll knock that out right away. And so it's plant medicine, bro. There is like, there is some studies, I believe of it,

killing cancer in a Petri dish. You know, there's also some studies of it killing children. Wait, Kyle, you had, you had quite the run out. Did we ever talk about it when your dog ate the weed? I can't recall. Yeah, we never talked about it. I don't know, maybe. Are we talking about things you've already talked about today? Then no, we haven't talked about it. It's impossible to know at this point. I mean, yeah, my dog ate a fuck ton of marijuana and then freaked out. And then like the poor Husky was like, you were there, like you came over, we were in my studio and it was just like, it was legit scary. Yeah. She couldn't walk. She was like kind of like bumping into things and like, it was sad. Yeah, like super hesitant to step like almost like,

were you jealous? It looked like kind of like a cool gift. Yeah, yeah. Were you like, this dog's getting a high I will never know. I feel good. So tight. Well, how much weed did the dog eat? You mean medicine, plant medicine? Yeah, plant medicine. Yeah, the plant medicine, the dog ate a lot of plant medicine. It must have been like, at least a fucking quarter, a quarter ounce or something. A quarter ounce? Like a food form? Or was it? No, no, it was just they just ate the flower. Oh, no, she got into fucking honey, bro. It was the honey. Yeah, well, I had honey that I was putting into tea and we were making an album or something at that point. And it was like she took the tea or took the honey and just munched it. Remember when we had that like cool,

was it just a lunch meeting with, with Cheech? And he gave us like, no, not Cheech Chong. It was Chong. It was Tommy. No, it was definitely Cheech. No, it was Cheech. It was Cheech. Blake's right. I never met with Cheech Marin. I met with Tommy Chong. That's the only person I've ever met with. Oh, we went to lunch with Cheech and he got out of Malibu, right? Yeah. And he said that was Cheech. You get rich guys. I was not there. Oh, dude, you missed out. He was a really freaking cool dude. He was awesome. What a legend. But he was saying the most bucked up he ever got on an edible was off of some weed baklava. Because I think it was like weed infused honey and just like layers upon layers of it. And it just sounded like a quite the, quite the magical trip. Quite the event.

Honey in your tea is great for the winter. That actually reminds me. It makes me want to get some THC honey. Let's not talk about Cheech or Chong because everyone we talk about dies. Yeah, that's true. So moving on, moving on. That's true. Don't talk about people that we like. Good call. Erase that. Scratch that. Yeah, it's been a long time since I've gotten like obliterated on weed. Like I've been, I've been so like now I know the amount that I like to smoke and just feel good. Yes. But it's been a long time since I've been like around a group and instead of like going like, Hey, we're gonna have some drinks. We'll smoke a little bit of weed. We'll do this. It's been a long time since I've been like, All right, we're gonna hot box this tent

or stone. Yeah, we're gonna wear this gas mask and get fucked up. You don't like you don't participate in like 420 and say like, this is going to be a day where I just smoke my brain out of my head. No, no, not really. I smoke the same amount. I smoke almost every day, almost every night. For sure. I don't know. I don't go all out anymore on 420, which is sad. Which is sad. And I want that back in my life. No, it's actually it's like the one day that you could kind of treat like the St. Patrick's Day of weed and you can just really go back to college for a day. It's the one day. It's the one day. It's slightly excusable. It's kind of like funny. Excuseable. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's okay. You can get fucking stoned and especially work in this business.

You can get stoned all day every day and still be okay. You mean medicated? Yeah, stone, plant medicine, whatever, you know. Yeah, I can't though because I can't act when I'm really high because I get two in my head. Yeah. Acting is definitely different than sitting at the monitors watching future television or watching future movies. Sure, absolutely. Absolutely. That's easy. It's good for me to do that because I don't care. Higher sentence have never been said. You got it, dude. I like smoking weed on set sometimes because acting is different than watching future television. Well, it is. I mean, my man is back. I don't know. I don't act enough to know if I would be okay while super stoned,

but I would definitely try it. That's true. Well, my I you know, I've tried it a few times and I when I watch the performance pack, I'm like, Oh, I'm too, I can tell that I'm high and it's it's it makes the performance a little wonky, at least for me. But I mean, I've did it like when I was first starting out doing stand up. And then I've never done it again, just because I was like, I know a lot of comics that do get high before shows and they love it. I think that would flip me the fuck out, bro. I think I would tweak. I was like, Okay, maybe I'll try that. And so it's like when I was like open, Mikey, and it was like six months into doing standup when I'm like, you know, 20 years older, how 19. And I was like, I my whole shit changed. Like, I'm pretty high

energy, especially when I'm on stage. And suddenly, I was just even when I'm on stage. Especially when you're outside, right? No, even I got to go on stage to relax. You're the fastest. You're the fastest mouth in the West on stage, bro. I'm shooting, baby. And yeah, I was just like slow mo up there. And I didn't I didn't like it. The thoughts weren't coming fast. Were you slow mo? Do you think you seem slow mo? Or do you think you just felt slow mo? My friends in the back of the club were like, Hey, you seem really slow mo. You were vibro. Yeah, well, they knew that I had smoked with them. And so they knew that I was trying this for the first time. And they were like, Yeah, maybe that's not your thing. Yeah. Maybe you

shouldn't get high right before Doug Benson, you're not because I think if your delivery is really slow and you and the way you tell stories is really slow and deliberate when when my shit is is coming at you pretty rapid fire. Yeah, it's quick. Yeah, you're not really getting Doug with high man. And we not everybody can. That is true. Hi, I'm David Eagleman. I have a new podcast called Inner Cosmos on iHeart.

Ashley Lytton was helping her husband set up a business Venmo account when she discovered a terrible secret. I scrolled down and that's when I saw a hidden folder and I opened it.

What the hell did I just see? I was scared that he was coming home. What Ashley discovered that day was a secret so dark she feared for her life. She was like oh my god I gotta get out of the house. He's gonna find out that I've seen this. He's gonna come kill me. Listen to season two of Betrayal on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I definitely got super high before hosting Ellen yesterday though Ders.

Really? You did? No dude. No way. I would have lost my mind. Plant medicine. You know what he was on. He was on a high adrenaline because when they, when I'm in my room waiting to go on and Adam's like okay cool I'm gonna go out and start. I go great. Good luck. You guys were together before a show? Yeah we just kicked it. Oh that's cool. Then he took what I assume was a massive shit right before? Or you were just in the bathroom? Yeah. Not a shit. Okay yeah. But so then in the hallway everybody's lined up and they all start clapping, clapping, clapping, clapping, clapping, clapping, clapping, and he's like and I was like this dude's about to go to war out there. That was post shit. Then he bong ripped right after he pooped. Yeah post shit. They got it out of me. They

were kind of the whole production crew. So hosted Ellen yesterday. It was really fun. We did two shows and it was really, it was like I just got shot out of a cannon because there wasn't even time to be that nervous really because it happened so fucking quickly. But yeah they, the whole like production staff was in the hallway when I came out of my dressing room like let's go Adam. Like I'm an elementary school kid. It was like a hype. It was like going to the tunnel of a fucking NFL game. Ellen has them trained. All right. Okay just hang on. They must do that for all the guest stars. Guest hosts. Or guest hosts because I mean I've done Ellen like a half dozen times and I've never gotten an applause hallway before. I didn't get it. But did she have it? Did she have it when she

came out before you? No. That's what I'm wondering if Ellen when she hosts has that go down. Hell yes she did. Absolutely. I don't think so. No. I don't know. No it's such an old hat for her. No you have to bow and get down on one knee. It's like a nighting. Let me just say this. It does seem weird that like they would just do it for guest hosts. Like who was like hey a new thing we're going to do for guest hosts is this. Exactly. I feel like maybe they did it for Ellen too. No I don't think they do. It doesn't seem like they would but it seems weird that they just would do that for guest hosts. Like who said let's do that. I want a name. I think some guest hosts are they're either too nervous or they're too in their heads or whatever and this is just a way for them to be like we're all behind

you. We're with you too great. To be like holy shit everyone's in the hallway climbing. I thought it was fun. I thought it was fun. I agree. Well yeah did you feed off it? Did you feed off of it and then you popped out? Sure yeah man. He bit a PA. Yeah. Yes. Oh my god. I punched one. That's protocol though. Yeah that's protocol. Too hyped. And then I made Derz you know Ellen's thing is like dancing and stuff so I was really getting into that and Derz came out and I'm like come on Derz dancing me and you can just tell Derz didn't really want to dance that much but he gave me a few wiggles. I appreciate them wiggles. Yeah I shook my butt. Derz has low key secret cool dance moves though. Did you pull out any specials? No because I was like how long are we doing this? Yeah and I did it.

I wanted to do it. It's a lot of dancing on that show. I wanted to do it a little too long just to make Derz a little on comfy about dancing and I hope I pulled that off but it was fun. All my dancing is like I come from the grind era you know. Yeah absolutely. So it's very much like middle school grinding. Should I have kind of backed it up in you a little bit and that would have made you feel. It would have helped. It would have helped me tremendously for sure. You guys freak dance. Yeah it's a freak dance kind of like. On Ellen I just bend over the couch and you just let me have it. Oh fuck. You definitely would have to poke coming through on you. You guys should have done the you guys should have done like the kids the dudes who like dance on the ottoman you

guys should have gone off on the coffee table in the middle. Yeah call me pipe layer. Yeah you should have played it. Homegirl from Modern Family Adam helped me out. Julie Bowen. Julie Bowen went on before me and they did this game where they had to answer a question with three examples of like hey name five things you hate about dogs or whatever and then they would be like oh this shit that's easy. Yeah but you have five seconds to do it. You have five seconds. It's three things in five seconds. They were like you can't handle their fucking weed. That wasn't the question but yeah it was it was similar to that. Five ways you'd kill a dog and one of them was like name three things you could call your lady parts and she called it oh she called one of them. An

angry tangle. Angry tangle. Oh I know she's funny. And then the like funky jungle. Oh my god is this gonna air. She was funny dude. Dang I would have that would be hard to do that. I should have played this. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. For for durrers coming up. As I back it up into him. I feel like ratings would have soared. It would have been sexual. Angry tangle in a funky jungle. I like both of those a lot. By the way funky jungle isn't even what it was. It was like nastier than that. Was it safe for TV? Did it did it pass? Yeah well the thing is is you forget like Blake forgets. I also forgot. What what those daytime talk shows are are you know people staying at home with their kids raising their kids a lot of a lot of moms rate you know staying

at home with their kids a lot of young moms old moms and old moms but but young I'm sorry mom they're now like our age so it's a bunch of like 30 something year old women that are are staying at home and watching daytime TV and so you know they they want to laugh they want to laugh they're super horny they're not all they're not all 70 year olds and they love this stuff I get that though it's horny and moms get horny and you want to laugh as we established last week they're super horny yeah and they're at home we've established that they're going straight from young in the over to Ellen and they are steamed up from that do you guys know any soap opera actors like I was thinking about that the other day those motherfuckers work like every single day new episode like and

in the people who are on that show on those shows are on them for like 30 plus years and I don't think I know any of them and they do like 18 pages a day yeah I knew I knew one dude I knew one dude I mean I'm I'm eating the payday right now it's just okay how is it okay okay chocolate fucked it up the chocolate Adam Adam you might have met this dude once his name is um I think his name is Charles Divins oh I don't know it sounds like a cool man though yeah beautiful man I feel like our homie satara falcon was uh did a was he yeah I thought he did for a little bit I didn't know that I don't recall Ders you say they shoot 18 pages a day isn't don't they have to come up with a new episode every day isn't it like every yeah and these writers these writers are just like

gun and then he has an eye patch now and the cousin's not dead and yeah because those are like long ass episodes too right they're filling an hour time spot no half hour half hour they're half hour daytime soaps okay yeah um but this dude Charles Divins he was like the hottest guy you've ever seen absolutely okay okay yep and as far as like acting went we would be doing like scenes and stuff and it's not like he would be you'd be like oh my god this guy's gonna get an oscar but he's so casually easily could just look at a page and then like or a couple pages and then just like throw it away and then say the lines and you were like oh he not only memorized them as fast as you've ever seen anybody memorize them but he made them his own like very natural you know what I mean

well I think that's incredible that's incredible skill unreal it really is I think you could get I think all of us could get there though I mean because as long as we're not smoking on set damn that is true yeah Adam but it's like when uh when we were like in the rhythm you know coming back from the pandemic and then getting back into you know the show like with for me the right stemstones uh I felt rusty the first couple days and then I started to find my rhythm and then the later in the season I could memorize much quicker than I could before but if you're on a show like that and you have to I feel like you would just get better at memorization exponentially oh yeah when I did um champions for NBC um NBC watch it on Netflix watch it somewhere

but the way it was written was kind of like everyone had like a chunk of dialogue where you would kind of say your own setup your own punchline and then your own tag as opposed to like you saying a setup and then someone else is zooming by with the punchline um so you had these like chunks to memorize and it broke my brain because at workaholics it was a little bit more like passing the mic yeah and if we did go on a rant it was most likely not scripted so you're still passing it back and forth because it's improv yes and we would be improvising and if we had like a long thing you could kind of wing it and change a word here we're there but so like my brain just broke doing that and then ever since I've done that show I can memorize things so much easier than

ever before really just because I had to because I was like well I don't want to be the guy who doesn't know it yeah um yeah and now to read something memorizing it it's unless there's like a weird fucking every once in a while there'll be something that I just can't click with yeah that'll be like I this line will not transfer in my brain for some reason right do you think those like when you have the skill I mean I've never done it but do you think like those actors like your friend on the soap is he like taking a fucking picture of the page with his mind like how is that happening that's Meryl Streep apparently like she can read a script once or twice and has it memorized yeah has it has like images of it and she knows where no not even I mean I don't

know if it's she sees the page or she internalizes what she's read but she just can read it a few pages and I'm like well no wonder you're good then yeah exactly I could memorize like that and have it baked into my soul that quick I'd be so good yeah she's not that good is what I'm saying she sucks she just has this incredible skill fucking thing remember the table read for the intern and the table read for the intern which Ders and I were both in with Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro Anne Hathaway and Zach Perlman and Zach Perlman my my twin Anne Hathaway didn't look down at her page yeah she had memorized the script right the whole script before the table read which is like a totally crazy insane thing to do like it's usually you just learn your dialogue for the the day before

or you might as you're doing it live yes or you might or you might look at like what you're doing for that week and then sort of just have it in the back of your brain but she she was like looking at us and turning the page as she's saying her line and I'm like oh no wonder why she's like an Academy Award winner well that's like I mean that's probably you know obviously it's part of her process but I would imagine that that's like the one time as an actor you get to I mean this is how I think about it as a director like that's the one time you get to go through from start to finish and emotionally feel the fucking thing yeah and act it as if it's a play yeah because it's not going to happen after that after that you're just going to be shooting pieces and talking about pieces so

that's an incredibly important part yeah I'm with you on that to go from A to B yeah I think I told this story in the pod but since we're doing that um yeah in my in my chem read with her she like fully cried when she was supposed to cry as opposed to just like all right let's see if this guy's any good and I'll kind of like read with him she like went in and I was like oh I'm not going to get this she's really good this is crazy right she's too good she's too good we're in a tiny tiny room with three other people and somehow she just uh fully cried and did the scene for real yeah that's about yeah some people are great at that since it's you got to cry better than Kyle while you were gone I cried you know watching the new Ghostbusters he did the Paul Rudd one

the Paul Rudd one is that what we're calling it yeah yeah that's what I'm that's what well I don't know I'm coming out of a hole did you see it no I'm coming out of a hole I just saw the first image where can we watch it can we watch can we rent it yet I don't know it's viable on uh I think yeah no you can get it on iTunes I saw okay I think I saw a little banner for it the other day I think I'm gonna snap that up that's how I know it's a Paul Rudd one I thought it was well done my kid loved it that's all I know so you cried you cried yeah it uh that was weird how'd that feel but you know what I'm actually pissed about it yeah thank you so am I I'm pissed now I feel like I was being manipulated I kind of lost my tough friend yeah it's like there goes the fucking

and you know what as your tough friend as I'm sure I'm for everyone absolutely yeah it's tough not to be that anymore right yeah well sorry my emotionally unavailable friend yeah that's what I thank you yeah I'm proud of you Derz I'm proud of you my soulless friend guarded my soulless friend my robotic friend good job yes just need a recharge my brother said the same thing my my bro said he cried and he loved it and all that and I'm like okay I gotta check it out I mean I you know me I love crying during movies you think it'll get me oh yeah it's gonna get oh yeah the bitch yeah I love it I love it it's it's very like if you like ghostbusters they're they're going for your heartstrings absolutely cool we love cool cool we
