You're in Nashville in here, huh? That's what friends are for. God. Friends. Sparkling. Brought to you by Celsius All have some Crack one open zip zip

Dude remember they used to have the that commercial about the mustard in the car or whatever like the grape upon Yeah, remember that yeah, I do and everybody I was like it was so Yeah, and every dad and uncle would be like a pass the grape who pawn and you was like, it was so, yeah, and every dad and uncle would be like, past the grape poupon, you're like, bitch, we don't have that. We just got that yellow stuff. Yeah, if we don't have that because you're a construction worker. Yeah, dad, you work for the railroad. We don't have grape poupon here.

Yeah, dude. That doesn't go on our, on our brot vests. Yeah, we had this guy, he, this guy on Monday to be like, past that yellow ketchup, our brought verse. Yeah, we had this guy, he, this guy on a mom day to be like, pass that yellow ketchup, he would say. Yellow ketchup? That's what he used to call it then. I think he was in like a war, something he had some like,

he might have had like some, he was in like E.O.G. or something, but let me see this, there it is right there, that's the guy. Yeah, that's the guy dude. Well, that looks like there was a lot of different guys over the guy. Yeah, that's the guy dude. Well, it looks like there was a lot of different guys over the years. They didn't stick with the one spokesman.

Yeah, this was like, and this was for a lot of, this was the richest guy we'd ever seen when they had this. We were like, no. Well, also this is still the richest guy I've ever seen. Who eats with a full on TV tray and they're back of their car. That's pretty awesome, that's sick. That's sick, dude. That's pretty.

That's Rolls Royce. Every time I'm like, I don't really want like a real fancy car because I don't give a shit, you know? But then like I'll see a Rolls Royce. I'll see like DJ Khaled in a Rolls Royce or something. I'm like, that looks pretty cool though. There's like a, there's like feet warmers and a foo.

Like just the back part as it can be a convertible, which is kind of sick. Really? I've ever seen that. Oh yeah. Yeah, DJ Kalle. I haven't seen that. Yeah. Yeah, I think, yeah, when I see like a super,

I don't know. I don't like, I think the fancier you get, the fancier you can get used to. And that, to me, always seems like super spooky. Yeah, because then all of a sudden, you know, yeah, look at that. Look at the back convertible. That's sick.

That is kind of neat. That's so cool. But that's like, hey driver, you don't deserve to be in a convertible. But then also, like, then you have to have a driver all the time. Like, if you're like quickly, you just wanna go smash some Carl's Jr. or something, and then got to like call in the driver. Yeah. That's a lot.

Yeah that's true. That's too much. And people don't realize it. Somebody took me one time and a ride and a um, Roll Royce or whatever and they said, uh, we had to park so far away because they didn't want anybody dinging the doors or anything. So we had to find a spot like in a lot that was like, you know, it was about a half mile away from the city. From the city, yeah. You gotta then get a card to get into the city. I was like, we had to have an Uber. That's so hot.

That's dude. You know, I took a back, I don't need a rolls. Yeah, we don't need that. What do you drive? You're like, a rolls roll. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want to get in the're like, of rolls or what? Yeah. Yeah, I want to get in the back seat, but someone needs to drive the damn thing.

No, I got a, I bought a Camaro Super Sport convertible 2011, like right one, Workaholics came out, I'm like, woo, woo, give me some of this good broom, broom. And then, and then I never bought a new car. I just have that car still. It's like, what, 13 years old now? 10, 12? Yeah, but if you ever leave your family,

I think that's one thing. You have to leave your family in that. Well, the Camaro Super Sport is the car you leave families in. Oh, you do not. You don't have a family if you have that car. If you have that car, you're going to leave your wife. That's a car. It's like, hey, it even has a goodbye Mrs. Button on it.

Yes. And you're leaving with the Applebee's waitress. Yeah. That's who you're rooming off with. Yeah, you're listening to the Joe Dirt soundtrack, which people didn't even know they had that. I'll do that. I bet it rips, dude. I bet it freaking rips.

It's a lot of me good, man. Yeah, I'm doing my new movie, The Outlaws, is it having that July 7th? July 7th. Well, it's a Happy Madison movie. So, congratulations. Thanks, dude. It's the, it was the sort of dream gig

is to work with them because, you know, like you just said, Joe dirt. Oh yeah, like so many goddamn classic movies. So yeah, me and Spade just wrote a movie together, actually. Oh, see. And this is about your riffraff involved? No. Dude, riffraff hit me up and said.

He's involved. I'm almost positive. He said, I'm gonna have to go back and look, but I swear. Riff raff is not involved. Now, I'm happy. Look, blessings to raff, baby. I think if I were coming out with like a fucking never-ending bubble gum or something, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Or if I were coming out with like a, uh, bubble gum or something? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do. Or if I were coming out with like a,

you know, like a shoe that made you jump so high that all the bitches wanted you? Yeah. Yes. Jump like Ralph. Yeah, I mean like, Ralph Air. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Air, Ralph, yeah, yeah. Like you're literally, dude, what about Joriff Ralph? Who would that, if they had an animal called the Jifrath? Girifrath. Yeah. I thought you were saying like Girifrath, like Tokyo Drift.

Ooh, that Driftrath would be good. That's a good movie for him. That's, or is that a cool go-kart track that he starts? Girifrath. Somebody already did it. Oh, dude. That's what sucks about the internet. As you, you have a great idea, and then obviously

some 13 year old in Michigan beat you to it. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the one downside of the internet. Yeah, because it used to be, if you had a good idea in a moment, you could just say it was your good idea.

Dude, I was convinced that I came up with the rocketeer. Remember the rocketeer that's in the pack at home? I was convinced that I had that idea first. And then when it came out, I was like, how did they know? How did they steal my idea? It was in my journal. I'm in like third grade or however old I was.

It's convinced how they get in there. How they steal it. Who did it? Who did it? Yes, somebody they had a rumor going around our area that pillows were taking people's ideas and sent them to the government. Who was pillows?

Oh, the pillow's big pillow. Like sleeping pillow, yeah, it was like big pillow was like fucking everybody. And so people weren't using pillows or remember if it was eight months. And people were pissed. Yeah, like we ain't fucking know, yeah. That dream.

So then you're just smashing blankets together trying to form a pillow. Anything you could. Yeah, yeah, that dream. So then you're just smashing blankets together, trying to form a pillow. Anything you could. Yeah, yeah, you're just sleeping on bags of marshmallows. Yeah, sleeping on your chubbiest brother's midsection. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you, table.

But the outlaw is no, no, first of all, congrats on being a movie star. Yeah, dude, how weird is that? It's very interesting. Well, it's just when we knew each other way back in the day, you didn't, I didn't look at you going like this was the biggest podcast from the game, and you didn't look at me going like this guy's a movie star. That's not what we thought.

No, I thought here's a guy in a hallway. Yeah. Here's a fellow white kid doing comedy. Yeah, here's another one of these chuckle honky. Yeah, there's another chuckle honky, that classic term. And look, whoever, someone else probably made that term, if it's for if you bring it up right now, there's some, there's a chuckle honky.

And it's just our photos on a giraffe weirdly. Don't know why. But some other kid drew us in his journal, some third grader of Minnesota put us in his journal and it's, oh, it's actually our pictures. Like, how did he even do that? Yeah, and he wrote podcast underneath your photo, actor underneath mine.

And the year was 2012 and look at us now. Wow. But no, congratulations. So well, it's interesting because you, you start off just as a comedian. Yeah. Is that, I mean, that's, yeah, essentially, I mean, we we knew each other for since like being in the always at the improv like back in the day. But you're you're you're going always to be an actor. I don't know five. I don't know if you've

And I talked about this or not. I know you've had workhugs. I know you've had a string of movies. I know all of this. But I'm just wondering where your original idea was, because it's interesting when a comedian goes, they get into movies and they become a movie star. Not a lot of people have that path, so it's just different. You're a rare person, we can talk to about that. Yeah, I think, yeah, it was kind of always the dream. The dream was like, the dream was basically

like Sandler's path, path, you know, like seeing, like what he was able to do stand up. I wanted to do SNL that just never came to be. And then do movies. Yeah, essentially I started, when I was a kid, I watched a lot of like evening at the improv. Remember that A&E show with like Bud Freeman,

he wears Monocle and then they bring up the comics. And I never saw it. Oh really? Oh yeah. Was it that, oh God, is that the guy with the, well never saw it. Oh really? Oh yeah. Was it that guy with the, well Bud Freem Museum pro boner, and he died. He just died, yeah, not too long ago. But he, yeah, so I like loved, I stand up,

and then you swatched so much of it, and I'm sure you kinda did the same thing. It wasn't like, for me, it wasn't like the best comics. They didn't inspire me because I was like, I'm not that smart. Like I can't figure that out shit out. Oh, you mean like a Louis C. K.A.R.A. Steven Wright or something?

Yeah, like a Chris Rock or someone like that. Yeah, Chris Rock. You know, where you're just like, oh god, these guys are geniuses. It was like the guys I saw on TV that like weren't that good. And I was like, well, I could be that good. Right. I know I could be that good.

I know. If that's what it takes, that's what it takes to get on TV, I know I could be that successful. I could do that. Yeah, and then even though the improv had everybody, but it was watching some of these people and they were like, oh, they're not that funny, dude. I can be that funny.

Right. And then I got a job at the improv, which I think is probably around when I met you. And I was in like 2004. Was Anthony Clark working there then too? Or not, do you remember that? Anthony Clark wasn't, yeah, he was there all the time. But he wasn't working there then.

No. Because I would see, oh no, he never worked there. He never worked there. He was just always there. At the bar. At the bar then, that's what I mean. Yeah, how do you work? No, he was worked there. He never worked there. He was always there with the ball. At the bar then, that's when he had to work. No, he was drinking at the bar so much that we should have paid him.

Yeah, sorry. I haven't seen anything in Clark in years. And no one has. Wow, he was a television star. I mean, he was one of the biggest shows. Yeah, yes, dear. Yes, dear. And then his other show is Boston Common.

Oh, yeah. Come with that. Deep cut references. I have to get to I would love to sit and talk with anything. Clark, I bet you'd be really interesting. Oh, yeah. Wow. I haven't seen him in years.

Yeah. Anyway, sorry, I hadn't thought about that. So you worked at the improv. Yeah. And then it was like it was you crossed when you got on stage. We did a show at USC together one time. I remember. Yeah, that's right.

And that might have been maybe when Warholix was out. And then after that came out, it was just, you just went into this other world that a lot of us aren't in. Yeah. Well, we got so fucking lucky. You know, it was like, that's what it is. It's like you just sort of prepare and try to put yourself in the right place at the right time. And then, and then you get your shot and hopefully you're able to hit it, you know? Yeah.

And we got so lucky. It was funny, like when workaholics came out because like, I was kind of the kid at the improv where I was like working the door and shit and then I'd come on stage. And like there wasn't a ton of respect. It was like, yeah, we know, he worked here. Right.

And like, yeah, some of you, you'd stack out, even be up there, he'd be mid-order, be taking his fries, they'd call his name. I remember watching one guy do us that was how I'm with frogs in the table. Yeah, so it wasn't like a, and then as soon as the show came out, workouts came out, then all of a sudden

it was like all the older comics were like, oh, hey, what's up, man? I'm like, bitch, you don't know me. Oh, so now we're friends, okay? I think good point. Yeah. Hollywood is weird like that, man. It is weird, there's a certain,

sometimes there's a certain, like, you want someone needs to have the same experiences as you, and then that can make you feel like you can talk to somebody or things are a little more comfortable. Yeah. There are weird lets. Yeah, there's like, there's levels to this shit, as Mekmil said.

Yeah. And it's true. It's like, you just talk to people that are, like, I feel like we are kind of in the same class within like a few years of each other, kind of know, you know, and then there's like, kids that are coming up that you're like, oh, they're the class beneath.

Beneath us. And it's not that they're worse or better, it's just that they were a different, they came up at a different time. Oh yeah. I feel like it's like, whoever you were like, doing open mics with or like doing the like first group of like bringer shows with.

Yeah. That's who you're like, hey, yeah. Hey, we're gonna be friends forever because we performed in a Chinese restaurant, you know? Cause we're performing when there's literally bowling happening right here. Like they were getting heckled by bowling pins. So we're always gonna know each other.

Yeah, there's something kind of, there's something. It's weird that, yeah, there's something weird about that when you come in at the same time, who kind of introduces you to somebody else is interesting too, because it's almost like, how you, if somebody like you get cosine, kind of by somebody to be, cause some people it's like,

you almost, some people, their lives get so busy, it's like, it's hard for them to just be friends with every single person that comes along too, as their career gets busier and they get more known. I know dude, like now I go, I'll go into the improv and shit and I like won't know people. Which is, which is like, it sucks. Cause it used to be like, I go, I'll go into the improv and shit and I like won't know people. Oh yes. Which is like, it sucks.

Cause it used to be like you go to the comedy club and you know everybody. Yeah. Like you know everybody, including like the wait staff and you just know people. Oh yeah. And then now you're, I'm like, I go in there and I'm like, hello.

I used to be a comedian. Yeah. Back in the day, I would go on this very stage. That's awesome, man. Well, congrats, man. Congrats on having a steady career in movies too, because I know that probably gets pretty tricky. I want to think about what that's like with you.

And but first, I want to think a little bit about, yeah, the new movie. Because Tom Segura has his special is coming out on the same day. Yeah, I think it's the same day or just about this. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah. That's awesome.

He was just on his episode right now. Yeah, he's Tom is so funny. Yeah, so tell me about outlaws, man. I want to know a little bit about it. Yeah, so I mean, you're an executive producer. I know that. Yeah, producer on it. Yeah, so I mean, you're an executive producer. I know that. Yeah, producer on it.

The writers Ben, I'm always butchers last name. Like I got called out on my agent was like, you're fucking up this guy's name. It's Z-A-Z-O-V-E. Ben. Zazov. Zazov. Zazov.

Zazov. Great guy. Awesome writer. Ben and Evan Turner, they wrote the movie, super funny, they brought me this idea, like years ago at the tail end of Workaholics, and it's meet the parents meets heat. And so if your parents are,

your future in-laws are international bank robbers. Okay. And they rob the bank robbers. Okay. And they rob the bank that you work for. And so, yeah, so there they are. And we cast Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Morrison. But that's Pierce Brosnan from the 007, 007, baby. Oh my God.

Yeah, man. Nina Dobrev plays my fiance. Michael Rooker's in it, you know, Lil'Rale. Oh, Lil'Rale's in there. My boy Blake Anderson has a small part in it. Yeah, so it's the Cassus Six. So they pitched me this idea and I'm like, it's just a fucking idiot, dude. And I was like, that is a brilliant idea for a movie.

I want to do this movie, wrote it down in my notebook, lost that notebook immediately, forgot all about it. And years later, I'm like looking through an old notebook, being like, oh, what brilliance did I write down in here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What gold and you're like, well, grossated, bad idea, stupid recipe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It just is apples. It's just saying to eat fruit. And then it was this idea. And I was like, oh, fuck, that's brilliant. I reached out to those fruit. And then it was this idea. And I was like, oh, that's brilliant. I reached out to those guys. I was like, hey, I'm sure John Cena is attached or someone has already beat me to this. Yeah. Flav of Flav. Flav of Flav is probably, you know, that movie star Flav of Flav. And then they were like, no, nothing. So I developed it with them. We took it to Netflix, sold sold it and then brought on

Happy Madison. Yeah, I'm saying this company. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Now it was cool It was it's cool when it works out, you know You know, it's so hard to get a movie created created into the finish line Especially these days it seems even harder dude, especially comedies now It is you have to like mask it. This is why it's a big action comedy because you really have to go like action action And then and then it's a big action comedy because you really have to go action, action, and then it's a comedy. But it's just like, it's why I was so happy to work

with Sandler's company is we could just go full steam on the comedy as opposed to, you know, you watch comedies nowadays and you're like, no, this isn't a fucking comedy. You're not, where's the jokes? Like where's the bits? It's bad. Comedy's gotten kind of bad, huh?

Yeah, kind of sucks. Yeah. Movie comedy. Movie comedy. Yeah, there's the jokes? Like, where was the bit? It's bad. Yeah. Comedy's gotten kind of bad, huh? Yeah, kind of sucks. Yeah. Movie comedy. Movie comedy. Yeah. They're still good shows and stuff, but like, yeah, movie comedy, it's hard. But which, luckily, I, my theory is I think, I think like Marvel ruined it.

I feel like superhero movies kind of ruined comedies because they, people watch, you go to the theater and you're expect to watch something that costs $200 million to make. In comedy movies, aren't that, aren't that? So you're like, well, why would I spend the same amount of money to go watch a little comedy in a theater if I could spend the same amount of money and go see a little comedy in a theater. If I could spend the same amount

of money and go see something that is is worth $200 million. Right. You know, and then they still make those movies kind of funny. Like they're, I mean, they're not comedies, but there's like, right. There's an you're like, oh my God. Is that raccoon talking? Yeah. This is hilarious. Which it is. But, but yeah. So it's not, it's not like a real comedy. And then now there used to be something like every studio would put out several comedies every year. And there was like 45 or 46 comedies in the theaters every year. So about every week or every other week or so,

there's a new comedy in the theaters. And then now last year, there was like six or seven. That's crazy. It's crazy. And the crazy thing is, is it feels like people need comedy more than ever. Yeah, I feel like they want it. I feel. Yeah.

So that's what this movie was. It was like, and there's no like hidden message. I feel like nowadays, people like you get to the end of what you think is a comedy and you're like, is that about global warming? Yeah. Yeah, you're like, is this, is this like some deep hidden message that I'm supposed to, I'm supposed to recycle more or like, you know, there has to be something else. Right.

Oh, the moon is trans, is that what? Yeah. Is that the surprise it? Yeah, you're okay. I do, I guess we do have to think about that, don't we? Yeah. I agree, there's a lot of, what was it? It was a great move.

And that's what your David Spade and your movie is about? Yeah. It is, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are just the people to spread that message. Oh, it's about transportation. It's about a lot of vehicles admitting who they really go on.

Cars wanting me motorcycles, motorcycles wishing they were scooters. Yeah, it's where things are, man. Oh, dude, this is a riveting scene where a short bus admits that he's a skateboard. Yeah. And it's, yeah, it's powerful. Whoa. It's my worth doing it. I'm doing it.

But the great thing is I feel like you could walk into a place and pitch that and then, yeah, and they wouldn't laugh you out of the room. They'd be like, okay. Well, that's the thing, you know, because I like, my job now is kind of, well, obviously acting and that kind of stuff, but then like I'm pitching a lot.

So I like pitch movies. And every executive is like, yeah, but why should we make this movie now? And they're like, cuz it's funny. Yeah. Cuz it's funny, bitch. What do you mean? Like, whatever happened to just like, we want to make people laugh. Like, it doesn't need to be, right? Yeah.

Right there. It doesn't need to attach itself to some, like some hook in the world right now. It doesn't, I mean, if it does, and that's the movie, then sure. But it doesn't always have to. It could just be like, whatever happened to just, it's funny for funny sake. I know. I feel like Super Bad was one of the last movies that they kind of had like that in some ways.

Like, that was really just super funny. Like, I mean, there's been a lot of other funny movies. I'm not saying that. Yeah, but I get what you're saying. It was like, the hangover, Super Bad. just super funny like I mean, there's been a lot of other funny movies. I'm not saying that. Yeah, but I get what you're saying. It was like the hangover super bad. It was like that was sort of the last gasp of like for no reason at all. Like this is just fucking funny. It's funny. Mm-hmm.

Oh, sir sure sure so my Me and Nina's character were about to get married. I've never met their, her parents, my future in-laws. They come in the week before the wedding.

They've, I've never even seen photos of these people. They're like ghosts. And they're just the coolest motherfuckers. It's Pierce Brosnan, Ellen Barkin.

that woman kidnaps my fiance and it's like, if you don't give me $5 million within the end of the week, I'm going to kill your daughter. And we have to go rob a series of banks to get my fiance back. Yeah. Dang. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. It's fun. Yeah, it's really fun. How long does it take to shoot something like that? I like, you know, two, two months or something. You guys able to shoot it in California? No, dude. You don't shoot things in California anymore. Yeah. Let's just drugs in the park. Yeah, man. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, we shot it in Atlanta. Oh, nice. Yeah. I like Atlanta. It was fun. Yeah, Atlanta's cool, man. I mean, it's definitely, it's grown so much in the past 20 years at City.

That's amazing, bro. Congratulations. So this is your first movie you're executive producing too? No, so I produced a game over man, which is the movie I did with the Work of Hawks guys. Okay. And that was another action comedy on Netflix. But that one was like, this movie is,

I feel more accessible. Like I feel like parents would wanna watch this movie. Game over man, like there's multiple dicks that are cut off. Yeah. I show my dick and my butthole in the movie. Oh wow. Yeah dude. You gotta check that out. And you know, check it out. And yeah so very, very funny movie, but I feel like this is a little more accessible to everyone. I can't believe I can't even know about this. Yeah, dude. Yeah, it's so hard to know about things these days. Do you feel like that too?

Yeah, there's so much happening. Yeah, I feel like it's, there's just too much shit that's out there. And we used to, and also our phones are a device that we go to now for an attempt. They used to be one device really. Yeah. You know, it was your television,

and then it became your television and your computer. And that's when streaming really was at an insane level, you know. And then now it's your television, your computer, and your phone, you know. So I feel like it's... Yeah, and it's also like the algorithm just kind of pushes things your way. And if for whatever reason... Yeah. It didn't push it your way, then you know, no clue.

Oh, dude, I walked into the last blockbuster probably one years ago. whatever reason it didn't push it your way, then you have no clue. Oh dude, I walked into the last blockbuster probably one years ago and I walked in there dude and it was like, it was unbelievable and this is what was the most fascinating to me about it. First of all, somebody that worked in there was like, where was this? It would look over there glass that you were being an asshole,

like how they always said, one person always used to do that and one do it would be cool, like trying to say you weed or something, you know? Yeah. This is in Bando organ, it's the last one. Oh, wow. So there it is, right there. And that's because they don't get internet up there

or they're just really, I think just this lady doesn't want it to shut down, whoever this is in the picture, maybe. Yeah, that's probably her. But it's crazy, I think just this lady doesn't want it to shut down whoever this is in the picture maybe yeah That's probably her But it's crazy. I mean you go in and it's you walk through the aisles and the interesting part is How many options there are you don't realize how many because when we look on a screen There's like the 10 or 12 options and even if you look around you can barely find but in the store I mean suddenly I'm like, oh, what about this one? I hadn't thought about this movie.

I picked it up and I'm like, oh, this one will really be great. And I realized how much of our ability to choose for ourselves without even realizing it disappeared when it went to streaming platforms. Yeah, it used to be fun and used to go just in the weird artwork you'd be like, let's give this one a try. Yeah.

Like that person showing half of a nipple. Yeah, some lady just, oh, God see the other half. You gotta see the other half of the nipple or then you think they're gonna show the bottom half of this nipple? Yeah, come on. I gotta wrap this. And then the crazy part was if it was a nipple movie,

I'd always get raised in net, dude. It's crazy. So you want to have them sticky fingers. Well, I just want to have, it's almost that fourth dimension of a nipple, they're almost like little nipples in the box. Dude, that'd be great for porn movies if they had a box of like little,

like it's a, you know how they have those like 4D seats and theaters now, like a 4D porn chair, like you. Yeah. All this, you're just getting a hose spray. Weird smells like, oh God. Oh, Jesus, too close. Yeah, like, and then it like bumps you from behind. It was like a doggy style scene or something like,

whoa, this is, who's that? Wait, so you're getting fucked? Yeah, all right. It's a physical game. Yeah, it depends on what you're watching. Yeah, make sense. I think there's different types of chairs. Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. You might have to invest in the right chair for you. That's what we're saying. Invest in the right porn chair for you. That's all the matter. But it was pretty fascinating just how many options there were. And I had never realized how much that went away. I mean, because next you know I'm in the drama section

and I'm in the comedy and then I'm seeing like, oh, what about this one, dude? I never saw this. I heard this came out, but it was like, I had so much ability to choose. And it was just kind of fascinating. And it was fun, because then you would watch those movies. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Like that's what you were gonna do that night. Like Netflix and all the streaming services, I love Netflix. Yeah, they are my corporate overlords, but we're talking about how the business has changed and that's okay, they're worried about it too. Yeah, but like, you could just turn off a movie, you could watch 15 minutes or something

and go, ah, I don't wanna do this now. But like, when you had the movie and that was what you were doing, you would watch a bad movie and watch the entire thing because you spent the Eight dollars or whatever it was to rent the damn movies here like what we have to watch this piece of shit We're fucking yeah, they're not even showing the other half of the nipple So I don't know why we got a way to the very end for the other half nipple to flop out. Oh, dude

It was something about that, huh? And also, I feel like I feel big candies probably pretty bummed. Because no longer are you, you're not going to the store because you're gonna go home and watch Netflix and getting all the jujubees and miconikes and all the candies.

Hot tummalls. Hot tummalls. What are other candies? Lemonheads. Oh, lemon hands? Oh, the ones that had the little bitty white crystals, the little white circles on them. That's crystal, that's no cats. No cats, no cats, no cats.

Which is also a street term for birds. So I'm not telling that. So fucking. Bro, anybody that I knew immediately, as somebody got junior men's dude, that they were probably into some sick stuff with children that's what I thought if I saw anybody that's my favorite candy it is it is I love junior men's we'll do okay hang on it's not about I'm not fucking kids yeah you said yeah I walked

into it though I shouldn't have admitted it but yeah I but you put you to, yeah, you said anything. I walked into it though, I shouldn't have admitted it, but you put, yeah, I, okay. But you put, you put, you get the popcorn, you put the junior mints in there, it's a sweet treat with the salty popcorn. They're not sweet, they have fucking mint in them, they're not as a fry. Who hides fucking mint, from mint is like, you're a experiment,

who hides it under a little layer of chocolate? Yeah, and it's all gooey. Yeah, and now the gooey part is kind of I do the text strutdle mine. Yeah, but it's just some of the others. It's the I just don't like mint. I don't want mint to be there when I'm trying to have something sweet. Dang dude, I'm sorry. It's okay. Shit. But it makes me mad. I can tell dude, you're flexing on me. It makes me angry. Yeah, I can tell. It makes my fucking teeth wanna climb through my gums. Oh shit. Fuck.

My bad dude. Hey, lemon heads are my favorite. All right, okay. All right. Lemon heads were a little crazy too. Remember how powerful some candies were when you were a kid? Ooh boy. Yeah, I used to.

Some of them always were pretty powerful when you were young. Dude, when I was a in high school, someone got me as a gift, a 10 pound bucket of my canikes. I love my canikes. I ate the whole 10 pound bucket in a weekend. And, uh, when I took a shit, it came out at nine, not even joking, dude, it was translucent. Oh, I like, I, I, I shit, it came out at not even joking, dude. It was translucent. Oh, I like, I shit out like a just a giant mic and I.

That's unbelievable. That's beautiful. Yeah, dude. God. So now we know what clip is gonna be used for the production podcast. My shit was translucent. And I even say, in that right, translucent. I just means clear, right? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, they should just say clear Clear yeah, I was trying to yeah, you're fine. I don't know why they made that word for it. Yeah translucent

Allowing light but not detailed shapes to pass through that is exactly what I meant I used it perfectly like I did well really good. I can't do they have see through duke or not. I've never even seen that. Yeah, well, I have 10 pounds of my can I. I have 10 pounds of my can I. I have 10 pounds of my can I. Yeah, every now and then somebody's got to test the science out there.

And I was willing to be that kid. Yeah, dude, there was something, you know what? There was just, yeah, that was where you would see New Candy at. Now Candy got it, they, they, they, they, they, it, there was only a few kinds of candy back in the day. There was like a 20 kinds or something. I remember like, payday was like something my mom would get it. Like the parents candy.

You don't fuck with payday. No, never. But like even like a thousand grand or whatever that was, always seemed like an old person's candy. Yeah, but now I bet payday, like I remember my mom would always fuck up some almond joys. Oh yeah. And I was like, oh, fucking almond joy, yuck.

Yeah. That's old people shit. And then now, like last Halloween, I had little snack size almond joy. They're good. Wee! God. Don't mind if I did, ooh.

Oh, they're good, man. They are good, you know. I remember when they came out with nerd ropes, and I was like, they done change the game. Yeah. Nerd ropes, you put it on some licorice? Ooh, we. Yeah, you would see a lot of people

doing unique stuff with them. A lot of people, you see somebody, some of their pants like a thick, some thick, little fellas, pants have been stitched up with nerd ropes. Like, damn, they snackin' in pants, but stitched up with nerd rope. Like, you know, me snacking and pants when I come open again. That's how it's done. You always saw that.

Yeah. You always saw that grow up, and dude, in the 90s, everyone's stitching their pants up with some nerd ropes. Different times, maybe different times. Yeah, this was those days truly, when like, that's what, that was what you were doing for the day.

Yeah. You were like, man, my homies, we're gonna meet at somebody's front yard. We're going to then ride our bikes to the convenience store. Get a video game. Yep. Well, probably play video games in the store because they always had like ninja turtles or something. Yeah, they did. And then spend a dollar and a quarter on some on way too much candy. Because that's how much candy used to be able to buy man Oh, do we have as much as you fucking could and I hated whoppers and then I'll tell you this I love them

Whoppers something just happened those candies. Oh, yeah The whoppers are though the little nuggets little turdball. It's a little multi-milk and yeah, I like them too God they were good and first I was like what is it? Yeah, then I had some more and I was like, I can handle it. Yeah, you good. I bet you good. It was good. Dude, we used to have, so this place boss, it was past video and shrimp, right?

So we'd bike over there and you get you a little film and then you get you a little pound of shrimp, right? What, what? There was a video and shrimp store? Yeah, off of Highway 190 and coming to Louisiana, you bike over there. That's sick. Oh, it was pretty cool.

I love a good combo store. It was interesting. So you get the video and you get your shrimp man and roll out of there. That's sick. That was pretty cool. But yeah, it was just a different time. It was a different time whenever you go to that.

And that was even before the chain blockbuster. I think they had a, remember that, because for that it was a different time whenever you go to that. And that was even before the chain blockbuster, I think they had a, remember, because before that it was like individual, like Ricky's movies. We had Main Street movies. I was just saying. Not even on the Main Street. It was like kind of in a neighborhood,

you're like, this is, that always piss me off. I'm like, this isn't a Main Street. This is a side street at best. But they, and then they all, every movie theater or movie store like that, they had like the curtain with the naughty movies were back there. And then you're a little kid and you'd always just like,

try to memorize as many of the covers as you possibly could. You just run in, stare at a bunch of covers. Yeah, you're like, I can't hear you., ah, memorize memorize. That's what it looks like. And then your mom's like, Hey, you're like, what are we in there? I thought it was a bathroom. Like you think it's the bathroom every time we come in. They always think it's the bathroom. Yeah. And you've peed on the floor and there's six times.

Yeah, you're always going in there, shitting on the floor. I think you're into that skateboard now, you little creep. That was wild, right? That was fun. That was a good time. What else was I just looking at earlier today that was in the news?

Are you, what were we talking about earlier? We're watching this video. Someone threw their mom's ashes on stage at a pink concert. Oh yeah. Well, I mean, did the mom love pink this much? That's the thing. Is this your mom? And how many grams is that? Yeah, she just heard snorting her mom

She's a cat of me now and then sings a pink song don't couldn't tell you one pink song, but I'm sure I'm sure she's great live What's that song she sings? Yeah. Can you? Can you? Or is it a little bit of a little reach? I don't know. Yeah. But that'd be something.

Yeah, that's about the biggest thing you can do. It's probably throw somebody, you don't want mom on a stage. Well, you hope that the mom was like a diehard pink fan or else like that's it. You're just carrying around your mom all over to try to like meet your heroes. Yeah.

You're using your mom after the fact. Like if I die and like my future, like if I have a kid and then my kid like uses it to like go to a JoJo C. Wall concert or some shit. I'd be a little salty, you know? Like I'm up in heaven. I'm like I don't give a shit about like JoJo C. While why are you using me to get close to JoJo C.

Yeah, like can I get in? This is my dad. You know who my dad is? And they just flash a little bag of you. Yeah. Throw me in someone's face. No offense to Joe Josila. I'm sure she's watching.

Oh, I'm sure she's doing it. Great. My friend, she's to live next door to her actually. Really? And doesn't she live in like a cotton candy castle or something? I think she does. Yeah. I think she lives like on one of those on the Northwest corner of the Candy Land board.

Yeah, absolutely. She's Omaha, she's an Omaha girl. And so are you, I'm an Omaha boy, yeah. Did you grew up around the World Series at all? Oh yeah. Did you go to whatever? Yeah, oh yeah, as a kid. And then what we would do is we would go out

and people are so drunk there that they will just give alcohol to children. So you would just stand by the beer tent and be like, do is we would go out and like people are so drunk there that they will just give alcohol to children. So you just stand by the beer tent and be like, come on man and you're like 13 and they're like, they're like, there you go. I don't care if I go to prison. This boy in a full on body cast is asking for beer. He needs to.

He needs one. This way, pet this dead bird, the neck brace needs to be here. Totally. Dude, that's great. Yeah, there's something about, like there was some empowering thing probably for an adult-given liquor to a kid, huh?

Yeah, I feel like I haven't done that enough as I've been an adult. It's probably fun to see a kid get fucked up. Is that an insane thing to say or not? No, dude, it is for sure fun. It's got like, it's always like a safe environment. Yeah, as long as it's a safe environment. Even if it's not that safe, you know.

You're like, you gotta learn how to handle yourself, young man. Yeah. But it is a little bit like, when you see a kid who did not drink and then they go off the collar, I remember like our valedictorian, or like she was, I don't know, maybe she wasn't, but she was very smart girl. It was never at any of the dumb kid parties that I was at.

I saw her in college. This girl was like cross-side blackout, like looking at me with like one fucking cyborg guy, the other eyes like a sleep. I'm like, this girl is in trouble. Yeah, this girl, her cassette of Tadon other eyes, like a sleep. I'm like, this girl is in trouble. This girl, her cassette, of tatted on that. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I was like, she didn't practice enough. Yeah. You gotta practice a little bit. So then when you get to the big leagues, you know how to handle your scandal a little bit. Don't practice too much. Yeah.

You're gonna get in trouble. Oh, dude, my friends would pick me up. And I was a lightweight son of I'm when it came to weed early on And then he picked me up and one of my buddies He drove a church van or something or he Commandeered one or whatever. I don't know. He got it But he'd show up in this church van, dude and all the church fan. Yeah The church let him use it later. Oh, okay

Yeah for for crimes But there was the different rows in the church van and however it later. Okay, yeah, for crimes. But there was the different rows in the church van and whatever row you in, it got more detrimental to your health, like the further the back you got. Like the back was like people were, you know. There's just like a small fire back there, everybody. It was just cracked out, staying warm. And one of the people staying warm

was like an abortion that like made it. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like four day old, you know, there's a, there's a failed abortion clinic in the very back. Or they can't figure it quite figure it out. They keep having babies, but the front seat, they're just drinking like hard shelter. Yeah, yeah, the front seat is just like, it's like people looking at a map. I'm looking at the right. Yeah, just trying to figure out how to get back to the church. Yeah, yeah Second seat is a hard celtzer. Yeah, third seat is remedial reading. That was always remedial reading

Yeah, so it was like yeah, too because if you can't read Remedially Then you also like then you probably can't handle hard celtzer You know what I mean? Or no, that's probably the exact opposite. Yeah. Yeah.

So if you can't read, you can drink heart salts, or it's water all day long, that's all you want to do. And it got weird yet. The furthest words of acuic outweeter. But yeah, they would calm and they would test a lot of times, they would give me the weed to test it out, you know, because I was kind of like, I would fall asleep a lot of times. Like we'd go out, I would literally fall asleep because the weed was real strong. And then they'd wake me up when it was literally time to go home.

Like I missed the whole night, you know. Oh, I had a real, I had a real sleep in disorder maybe for like six or seven years kind of. And so anyway, but yeah, I remember just being in my buddy's dad's van and we would sleep in there and just get really, really high. And he, one of the kids, dad's had some sunglasses. He sold sunglasses for a living or whatever. Yeah, hell of a living. Oh, yeah.

And with the sun, there's unlimited. Would you like an Oakley rep or these were like knock off? No, he was like a rep. Oh, see? So we had all the different types, you know. And that's a cool guy to know. It was pretty, yeah, he was pretty cool. He was cool, actually.

I mean, I didn't know him real while we would sometimes do drugs at his house when he wasn't there. Yeah, so that's pretty cool. It was cool. We didn't get to know him that, but yeah. Well, that's a cool dad. He's like, not home, wraparound sunglasses at night.

Kids are doing drugs in the basement. Some dad driving cross country to sell oak leaves. So like good gas stations and stuff. Yeah. Well, you're doing drugs in his house. Yeah, good guy. Well, you think he's a cool bet. Yeah, he's a total degenerate to other adults,

but to the kids, he's like, pretty cool guy. We're like, Todd, you're dead, awesome man. Yeah. I'm like, I've seen my dad do Todd Senior is for sure, for sure awesome. But we would just get wasting his urinate all over his glasses of high, right? Like at night, so then like two days later,

whatever he rolls up to someplace at the bunch of just soak in wet boxes. And he's like, they're selling my hotcakes. I don't know. Some about the stink of just so- Yeah. So can wear boxes. And he's like, they're selling like hotcakes. I don't know. Some about the stink of these glasses are flying off the shelves. Man, I feel bad about some of that shit. Yeah, you know, we used to,

there's this girl in high school that we, I wasn't me, but my friends would call her Skeletor. And she was a very mean to us, but for some reason we'd still go to our parties and then my friends were like pissing her parents closets and shit Yeah That's mean thing to do and hindsight you're like wildly mean why are we doing that? This girl invited us to a party. Yeah, we're calling our Skeletor and pissing in closets. That's kids Yeah, people just did that kind of stuff. We had some kids bus, these two gals,

and one of them, she had, I guess, kind of like, why? It kind of big nostrils like me, and this other one, she had a lot of gums in her smile. And they used to call them, if you take nostril, and one of them they call Mr. Ed, because she had longer gums,

and Mr. Ed, if you set them backwards, it was a lertz and then Durham. If you said I'm backwards, sure. So everybody always be like, oh, look, it's lertz and then Durham all the time. It's just so dumb. But it was like, people would just say it so many times. Yeah. And then like those girls definitely couldn't put that together.

Yeah. You know, so they're like, why are you calling us that? That's not my name. Yeah, it was just life, man. God, it was fun, dude. Yeah, I remember we did a bunch of LSD and this lady got caged up or not lady, but like a, you know, someone that was the same age

as us got caged up in this room. Not even caged up. Caged up. People said, hey, you're caged up in here and then they were on so much ass and they just believed they were. Yeah, sure. I'm like, you went to parties and people were in cages?

And we, do we have to call someone? No, me while you could get out whenever you were. Yeah, it's just an unlock door. Yeah, you're in a backyard. It's not even a room. You're like, there's no way you can escape. Yeah, I mean, yeah, looking back at the shit that we used to do, like, you know the movie Ma, did you ever see that movie?

Yeah, I did. You know who was in that movie? Johnny Paulo, who used to work with us. Oh wow, so my buddy, Scottie Landis wrote the movie. Oh wow. And it's based on, I told him a story about my childhood and he's like, oh dude, I have a very similar story. And he was like, I bet a lot of people do

and then he wrote that movie, which essentially was this woman who used to buy his beer and we'd go over to her apartment. She made us call her mom. No, yeah, she'd be like, just call me mom. And you're like, huh? But you're like, she's buying you beers here. Like, hey, mom. Yeah. Can I get a 18 pack of bush light? And she'd like, make us she would be like, well, you gotta have a few here before you can leave.

And so we, I remember just like, she had like this crazy like four foot song. So like, there was also this other adult man. Like these people were like adults, and they're just like a Bong-Ripping with like 16 year old kids. And I like, I took, I took enough Bong rips that I turned like green.

And then I laid down in this bed, like fully zapped out of my head. And it was her like daughter's bed, her like little 13 year old daughter. And she, daughter wasn't there. I'm laying in the bed. Her, they, she brings her daughter in the room, she goes, it's okay, just crawl into bed with him.

No. Yeah, and I'm like so green, and I can't move, and I just, this fucking little girl crawls into bed with me, and I mean, while I'm like, 16 years old, and I'm like, this is too weird, and then luckily my buddies like grab me and pulled me out of there, and I'm like, this is a fucking horror film, dude.

Yeah, because that is a horror film. That lady could be setting you up, who even knows? Why is there people that are still living that much in the past where they are? What do you think that is? Like the mom that does that or the dad that, is that more of a mom thing or a dad thing? Well, it might be a dad thing,

but then that dad is arrested pretty quick. I feel like dad's get arrested for that shit. Pretty quickly, mom's sort of like, maybe then maybe she is just being a nice woman and you know, give her a benefit of the doubt. Guys immediately, I think they're like, yeah, he's a great pigose prison. Yeah, the fact that we were able to party at this woman's house and like, she is, it was a strange thing. Every town has a couple cool kind of cool moms like that Yeah, you know, and they're fucking cool, dude And sometimes they drive a van one of them. I remember drove a van with like that swimming pool ladder on the back like what the fuck

Yeah, I remember the yeah, why does you yeah every time you go up there. There's no pool up there There's not a pool. There's never been a pool up there Yeah, this is a fucking way better than it. Yeah, you couldn't put a pull up there. This man's a lot Yeah, I couldn't put a pull up there. This van's a lot. Yeah, fuck yeah. Yeah, I feel also vans. Where are vans? Yeah. Vans up and disappeared, dude. They were so good.

Well, my mom had a mini van that had like those twinkly lights. Oh, wow. Yeah, not a fan. It's not particularly fancy. It was called a Mark III. And it had likeinkly lights. Oh wow. Yeah. Not a fan, it was not particularly fancy. It was called a Mark III. And it had like the little lights. You remember in the movie theaters? That looks like it on the top left.

Oh, that's a Mark II. Yeah, that's a Mark II. Our's was the Mark III. Oh, that's a Mark III. Oh, yeah. So essentially this. And then dumb ladder. And then there was a little like 13 inch TV

with a cassette. So we would watch we watch half baked in there. Yeah. You know, we would, you know, on road trips, I'd queue up some forest gump, put that bitch on repeat, just run it right back. Dude, I remember long ago I got a Dodge Neon car and we'd never had like a nice car before

and we went and my brother and I would go and sleep in it at night Sleep put the passenger seats down and and the driver seat down asleep in there It was so nice, dude pull it up A Dodge neon. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Well, yeah, but that's not a van. It's just a car Oh, it was a van us man. It was beautiful. It was so spacious because before that sheet had a Ford It was a Van Nose man, it was fun, beautiful, so spacious. Because before that, she'd had a Ford Festival. Oh yeah. My, they've ever seen those? Yes.

My mom had, they had a Buick that right there, the several ones, my mom had that, and she used to beat us. I literally, that car ran by abuse. Yeah, that's what it was powered by. My mom could play us like the drums, like she would sit in the fire drive seat and literally like, like, and the roof would like start to droop on you.

Like the root, that's what our, my mom's car, like it would like the roof no longer, the feltness. Oh yeah. No longer stuck to the ceiling and it would just start to droop down and you'd be in the back seat with like a roof like hanging like it's some swoopy bangs, but it's just the roof to the car. Yeah, you'd be like, I hate you, whoa.

Yeah, God, get a car that I can see out of. Dude, and that droop roof, cause yeah, yeah, a lot of those vehicles that Bells pulls, yeah. Yeah. It was just kind of sad, a lot of those vehicles. It was a different time. All right, we've reached that part of the show

You know what movie I saw the other day that I really liked was it was a Jim Carrey movie. It was called when he owns the theater

or he goes back and gets that movie, the majestic. You ever see that movie? Oh, I did, but that's been so long. It was good. I could look, that's a good, I'd go back and just do a deep dive on all Jim Carrey movies, because he's, I mean, he's the legend. I won my fifth grade talent show

doing Jim Carrey impression. No way. Yeah, dude. He still do anything or no. I mean, no, they weren't even good back then. He was just like, somebody, you know, it's just me doing a mask. Yeah, it was good.

Did you ever go to, because you moved, you grew up in Omaha? Yeah, I grew up in Wadley, Iowa, Tossed 10, and then we moved to Omaha, and then I, till high school, and then after I graduated, I moved to, I live. Did you ever go to the field of dreams? In Iowa yeah. Yeah. Cool isn't it. It's way cool. Yeah it's kind of like the middle of nowhere. Yeah. It's just like a

baseball field. Yeah, dire is the idea. I love the Midwest. My mom went to school over there in Iowa. We're at. She went to Co Co Co. Lynn College I think. Oh okay. Yeah, we're at she went to co co co co-land college, I think okay There he is Yeah, it's cool. It's cool when you go see it. It's cool. Yeah, I like the Midwest people like it get people Give it such a bad rap, but it is just it's just people are so nice It's like beautiful like I was a very pretty state. Oh, I love it. Rolling hills and just green, beautiful fields, you know, corn fields. Yeah.

We'll also like, Purina dog brand was from, there's a lot of famous old brands that are from there. Like John Deere. Yep. Um, what else? Oh, Russell Stover, I think where's that from? God, imagine knowing him. Russell?

I'd love it. Kansas City, Missouri. Oh yeah, Kansas, right there. Kansas City, Missouri. It's like, it's like accepted as the Midwest, even though I feel like it's getting a little wild west. It's a little bit. What I like about Kansas City is,

like there was like a real mafia element. Oh yeah, because St. Louis has a mafia. Yeah, Kansas City. There was like the Kansas City mob bosses and like they wouldn't go west to there like so the mob bosses would be in there and they would control Vegas because they couldn't get any closer because the the the feds would come down on them. Fuck that's what like Casino taught me the the movie. Yeah, I believe a lot of that. Yeah. I believe a lot of that, man. Is there a movie that you've been thinking about,

like do you, like, so you have this one done, is there like another movie that now you, like do you have to wait to see how this one does to see if you get other opportunities? How does that kind of work in your business? Cause you've had a good, you've had a good run. A lot of guys don't get some of the same opportunities, you know? For sure. Yeah, kind of. You always have to be thinking like, what's the next thing? But yes, I think this one, I have a lot writing on this one.

You know, so they Netflix really wants it to do well. I really wanted to do it well. And I think if it does well, then Netflix will let me make it a handful more. That's great. Which would be great. Yeah, man, we'll make sure July 7th. We will. Yeah, so yeah, but I have like the next couple ideas

cooking right now. So as soon as the writers were on strike, so I technically I can't go pitch a movie right now. Yeah, so like I have it ready to go and then as soon as we are not striking any longer, I'll flop on into that movie studio and pitch my wares. Do you pitch something before you write it? Yeah, sometimes you know, sometimes it's,

you wanna, it depends, every project's like different, but sometimes if the idea's like too weird that you feel like the executive wouldn't be able to get it, then we wouldn't, we would just write it and then go sell it. But if it's like a hooky idea like this, they outlaws. Like when you understand the movie when I pick it to you, so you're like, oh, I get it.

You could just pitch that idea and they'll buy that idea and then you're kind of on the track already. Your show, the Jim Stones, are you guys finished doing or are you waiting to see if you could do it again? I think we'll probably do it again. Danny's pretty confident. He wants to do another couple of seasons of it. It's so fucking fun. And Danny McBride is like, you know, like you said earlier, I'm just like so damn lucky to like that they allow me to keep doing this shit. And it's so ridiculous. Danny McBride is like a true comedy hero of mine.

Like, I remember when we in the work of Holly Skies, like way before we got work of Holly, when we were still doing like internet sketch stuff, Ders came over, Anders Holm came over with a DVD. He like knew an agent that slipped in the DVD of the foot fistway. You ever see that movie? So good.

So good, dude. And so good. Jody Hill directed it. Danny is the star of it. And Jody's right on Jim's phones. Yeah, he directs a lot of the episodes. Wow, what is he like? He's the best dude.

He's just like the coolest. They're all just the coolest nicest dudes. And I mean, you get along. That's so fucking good, dude. When he's trying to break that bullet, they might break that bullet. Yeah. He's, I mean, you get along. That's so fucking good, dude. When he's trying to break that bullet, they might break that bullet. Yeah, I mean, so funny. And we were writing sketches together and we were writing every Wednesday

and trying to shoot something every weekend. That was like our schedule. And so Durs comes over and he's like, we're not gonna write anything. We're gonna watch this movie. I heard it's unbelievable. And we're like, all right. And we watched it and we were like, holy shit.

And then we watched it right back. We watched it two times in a row. And it was the first time that we were like, oh, we can not that it wasn't great, because it was great, but it was like, they felt like we know those dudes. Like we can make movies like that. Like you know what I mean?

Like Wolf Arrow, since he does like these big characters and his movies are like big and broad. Can't really do that. Yeah, it felt like unobtainable. Yeah. And so this, it felt like, oh, we could make a movie like this. It feels like down and dirty and like we could do this, like with our friends. And then we started to, that sort of changed our idea

of like what we were doing, because we were playing more characters or doing bits with our sketches. And then we were like, we should just play kind of play ourselves. And that's sort of how Workaholics, that was the start of trying to do sketches where I'm Adam, but I exaggerated version of myself, you know? And then workaholics was kind of born out of, you guys being yourselves just in an environment. In an environment, yeah. It's kind of the same thing that happened to me for podcasts.

And I used to have a podcast with my friend Matt Weiss and he works with TMZ. I think he still works with them. And we were interviewing celebrities and stuff and talking about celebrity stuff. He knew and talking about celebrity stuff. He knew a lot about celebrity stuff. He really liked that world. And it was kind of a struggle for me

because I didn't know that much about celebrities. And then I went on Joe Rogan's show and I left out of there one day and I was like, oh, I just need to be myself. I just need to be in a place where I can just talk. Well, I think that's when comics really start to find their rhythm, right? Is when you get over that hump of like,

I feel like every comic starts this way where they just, they have their top five comics and they try to be like a version of them. Oh yeah. Instead of just doing like what makes you funny? Yeah, and who are some of yours early? I have like the comics, I think. Or do you feel like you impersonated anybody a little bit?

I know that I remember showing a tape to a guy one time, I was doing like a year and he's like, this is great if you're like a Mitch Hedberg impersonator. I'm like, okay. Very fair, very fair. Yeah, I bet Hedberg impersonator. I'm like, okay. Very fair. Very fair. Yeah, I bet I was doing like some Tosh or like trying to be like Swartz in or Jim Gaffigan was really big at that time.

I love how he like plays with the levels of his voice, which I still like to do. But I can see that now. You say that a little bit. Yeah, so I'm a, so I, yeah, I'm sure there was some of that. And then I think like when you start to find your voices when you go like, yeah, obviously like Chris Farley's like an influencer mind and Jack Blackson, an influencer mind and Sandler, but like what makes me me and then, and then from then, once I kind of committed to being myself, I feel like everything clicked into place.

Yeah. And a lot of that was from watching FootFist way and being like, oh, these guys are just, even though Danny isn't that guy, he's like doing a character, but it's like they're doing a character from a real place that they can access and not... You don't have to, like, on your 30th movie is when you can stretch and try to be something that you aren't. Right, right. When you could be Tom Hanks. It's like Tom Hanks didn't start off doing his short, dramatic, whatever.

Yeah, puller Express exactly. Yeah, it's kind of fascinating, man, that we all pick up pieces of other people. There's a famous book about that. It's called, it's like ball, I don't know if it's called borrow, but there's a book about that we all like, especially I think in entertainment, you can't help but take influence from things. Like we just interviewed Rick Flair and he talks and he, his whole, his love Rick Flair was, it was, it was unreal, dude. I mean, he is, Rick Flair will text me every year for my birthday.

I'm like, this is the bad, like no one. Like my friends don't even do that shit. But Rick Flair is like, whoa, happy birthday Adam. Oh my God, love it, dude. Well, it was so interesting, but he, his character I guess, or some of his things that you know him from.

They're a malgamation of other people, right? And he says is, it's not any talking out of shop and he kind of like fine-tuned him, you know? It's just interesting, that's how everything works, kind of. Well, it's also like the generation of comics that you come up with, like if you're rolling with a crew, you all are like kind of taking from each other. Without even, it's like how groups of friends,

when you guys are kids, how like that group of friends, they all have the same terminology. They all have the same verbiage. Like they talk alike, they dress alike, and you just can't help but be like that. That's just human nature. So like when people shit on me for, you know, talking like this person or being like that person,

I'm like, I'm friends with those guys. Like this is just how we talk. Right. And some of it's paying homage to them in some type of a way. You know, it's like you're kind of, it's like you're, as long as you're not stealing like their jokes or like fully, like I bet you would be like, yo Adam, what's with the mallet? If I like get your exact same hair and I start like doing like your type of material,

you might be like, what the fuck, divine? Yeah. And if you got held back in the sixth grade, yeah, if I demand it, it'd be held back in the sixth grade to be more like you. Yeah. And they're like, but Adam, you can read

and do basic math and I'm like, fucking hold me back. Hold me back. So I can be a fucking king. I'm trying to be the rat king. Oh, it's crazy that people just let their kids go through all the gray. Like hold your kid back one year and make him a fucking legend.

I remember that like the kid that I was like my bully, it's funny. I've said on multiple podcasts that he was my bully. And then my aunt one Thanksgiving comes up to me and goes, Adam, can I talk to you? And I'm like, yeah, what's up? And she goes, do you remember Brian, I'm not gonna say his last name?

And I'm like, yeah dude, that kid was my bully in elementary school. And she goes, he says that you were his bully and that you really picked on him when you were a kid. But this was a kid that he like failed a grade in like fourth grade or whatever. He was held back so he's like way bigger than me. He had like facial hair in the fourth grade. He was like and he was drawn it on but he had it.

Yeah, he had it and he kept picking on me and I remember like my dad was like, is he bigger than you? I'm like, yeah. And he goes, well then violence is your only key. And I'm like what? And he's like you have to strike first and strike often. And I'm like this is some bad advice. This is a foot fist.

Yeah, totally. So like I just I like punch this kid in the face. Like he said some shit. I just like fucking racked him and then would run away. We like so where he could never strike back. I kicked him down a staircase once. Like so I was like down a staircase once. Like, so I was like a violent little kid.

And in hindsight, I was as kid's bully. But from my point of view, he bullied me and then my dad just gave me the go ahead to be a violent little fuck. And so I'm sorry, Brian. I didn't know, dude. I thought you were my bully. And I was trying to stand up for myself.

Yeah, we didn't know, Brian. Bullies are regular people. All that song. God sometimes I see the bullies and I pray for them. Damn. We got to get you in a pitch perfect movie. They don't make good music anymore. How perfect are you guys going to make the pitch?

That's what a lot of people are wondering. Is it, isn't it perfect to not? Dan was saying, it's like when step it up, keep coming up. Yeah. Like how, they're second up to the street. It's like we get it. How many places do you have to step up?

We should always say that. How much do we, how much do we have to step it up? Yes. Yeah, how perfect is the pitch going to the streets, like we get it. How many places do you have to step up? I mean, we should always use to say that. How much do we have to step it up? Yes. Yeah, how perfect is the pitch? Can you get it? Will it still get in? I do it. I'm doing a spin off show.

It's called Bumper and Berlin. Season one is already airing on peacock. It was a fucking hit for them. And then, yeah, I lived in Germany for like four months last year and like just being a song and danceman in Germany did there Yeah, there's there's me That girl has horns on her head. Yeah, it's a wild show Interesting is riff raffin it

No, dude, that sucks. You're right. I should put riff in it Yeah, so yeah, the pitch the pitch is still staying perfect That sucks. You're right, I should put riff in it. Yeah, so, yeah, the pitch is still staying perfect, you know, I'm riding that one all the way home. Wow, that's cool. Yeah, that's fun. What an interesting, I mean, this will let an interesting life, man, because the ghosting in Germany for four months

is pretty, you have to work every single day or do you actually have some free time. Yeah, I worked a lot on that one because I was the lead of it and it's like a song and dance show. So like, I'm singing and dancing every goddamn episode. So like, I have thought on the weekends, it's like I have to go record songs and I have to like learn choreography and shit.

And then, but it was a wild, that's, have you ever been to Germany? Hmm. Yes. Okay. I have my girlfriend, somebody almost ran over my girlfriend with a bike over there. Oh dang. Where at? I don't know. It's about like this little, it's kind of like by, I don't know what it was. I don't remember. I mean, I remember, but I don't remember enough to save anything else. Yeah, I've been there. Not as a dangerous intersection. Yes.

Yeah. The Inherous intersection. Uh, yeah, so we were in Berlin and awesome cities, super fun, but like also like kind of cool in a weird way. We're like, uh, they have this club Beargeheim, which is like the cool club where like everyone wears like leather club where like everyone wears like leather dick pouches and shit and they have this guy that they call him the piss goblin and he's like a 65 year old man who's just like And like you're supposed to just piss on him when you see you. Oh, wow Yeah, and he's in a chair. He's sitting down. No, he'll just like well I didn't go to this club, but I've been told all about him and then he'll just like go around the club and

Yeah, that's it right there the big Square building. Yeah, and uh, and then it's just a warehouse inside and Yeah, it's scary. It's taking industrial Cut music and then and then the piss goblin will like lay in the the the trough You know how they have troughs at in men's shitty men's bathrooms. Yeah, and he'll just lay in there and be like at the troughs in Men's shitty men's bathrooms. Yeah. And he'll just lay in there and be like, and he can just splash him up.

You can just splash him up apparently. Yeah. For could put a batch on that stage. So it was like COVID was just starting to like wind down at that point. And so all the clubs were closed. And then while I was there, they all opened. And we were getting sat at this nice restaurant,

my wife Chloe and I, and the guy recognized me, he's talking to me and he's like how are you enjoying Germany? And I'm like, how you know we really like and he's like have you been to some of the clubs? They're so fun and crazy and we're like, oh, we haven't yet, you know, I'm working a lot So don't have time to go to the clubs and he goes, oh, it's so fun. You have to make the time There's awesome parties the piss parties and then it goes, okay, your table's ready. Just so quickly, the piss parties, okay, table's ready. It's a time. Here's some sharkootery. Yeah, here's some ginger soup. Yeah, here's some ginger soup. Enjoy the piss party. Well,

the piss pigging is a big thing I think, now it used to, and even vegans are doing it. I think it's like piss-pigging is, I guess, when there's like a fella at like a... What's pigging with piss-pigging? Can you bring something up, Zach? You're leaving me on a branch here, brother. It's when people are drinking urine, I think, somewhere. And like, it's like rich.

I don't know if it's rich people do it, but it's like piss-pig. Yeah, it's rich people do it, but it's like a piss pig. Yeah, it's pig. Well, let's all look at porn. Don't look at porn, please. But I mean, it's hard. It's hard not to look at porn with the piss-pigging because it's probably pretty synonymous with,

it's like you look up butt-fucking. You're gonna see some butt-fucking then, you know what I did? Yeah, you know, it's like you look up piss-pigging. You're gonna see some piss-pigs. All right, whatever, man. That's how you look up piss big and you're gonna see some piss pigs. All right, whatever man. That's how you guys are gonna be about it. I'm just looking for more of a technical site. Okay.

Like, I don't wanna see that. I don't wanna hear the symphony. I just wanna read the sheet music. Yeah, I'm just gonna give it. But I think it's people that will drink urine. So it's like at these high-end parties, I'm hearing you can go around and you pay somebody, and then you just urinate in them.

And it's like a, and people enjoy it, I guess. But that's something that's going on. But I think in Germany, they're very, they're not, things aren't as taboo to them. Does that what it felt like or it's more taboo? Well, I feel like in Berlin, especially, it's like the, the, the freak you are, the cooler cooler it is and everyone's just very open-minded. Yeah. And so like I was staying at the Soho House, right? And like in East Berlin, very nice hotel, they have in this awesome rooftop bar that we would eat dinner up there a lot of times. And we were having drinks late one night,

and it was like, it wasn't even that late, it was like 11 o'clock. And, but people go, they have dinner at like 11, and then they go to the clubs at like midnight one, and then they stay there all night long. And there's, the full on dudes in like leather straps with like their nipples, like pierced, and then a chain connecting, then a chain going down

to, you know, where stuff. Uh-huh. And he's just full on sitting there eating a full rotisserie chicken. Just did not get up. I'm like, that is, you know, see that in L.A., you know? No, you don't see that. Yeah, you don't. Oh, here we go. You're there's a social media community of people drinking bathing in their yarn for the sake of health. Um, so you bathing your own urine. I feel like I'm going to say no to that. Yeah, I'm going to give that a no too.

How much from the urine therapy? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay. So this lady and this lady or also this could be that guy Bill. What's his name that you play for the Lakers? Lambeer. The Walden? Bill Walden.

Does he, she looks like him a little. Oh yeah, that's Bill Walden now. Now the saying, I don't know, I fuck who knows. Who knows, yeah. And no shade to Bill or Luke, I don't know, there's just, this could be AI. Yeah, that's true. You can't trust anything anymore.

But dude, if somebody rolled up on you with, first of all, also imagine, because that woman, it said 59 years old, she said to what she was, imagine being 59 this month. Imagine, because that's gonna be your mom, you know? Imagine your mom has like a little health kick like, mom sometimes do.

We have them all, yeah. Yeah, where you're like, yeah, I've got got really into salads or whatever. And you're like, good for you. I like that for you. You know, try to live as long as you can. But then, shit your mom goes full on, like I guzzle my own piss.

Oh, that'd be a bummer. She's like trying to give you hugs and like little cheek smooches, you know, as moms do. Yeah. She has like a breath of her own piss. That would be like, oh, that'd be a real bummer. That's that movie. Yeah, it's like the sequel to that movie,

Backdraft kind of. But what about this brother right there, soaking his feet in some urine and letting the dog lick them? Oh yeah. Well, this man should be arrested. I mean, yeah, this guy has to go right to prison. And that woman too, mom, you got to go to, you got to go to jail. This is a bad idea. Yeah. Wow. I feel

no one else's month old urine tastes exactly like beer. No, dude, well, you're drinking for sure bad beer. Yeah, that's bad. Yeah, that's bad. Really bad beer. Like you could just spend like one dollar more and get beer that doesn't taste like month old urine. Yeah, non-piss, no piss in here. But what if, yeah, what if that's like Bud Light's new slogan? They're trying to gain some drinkers back. No piss in here, buddy. Is your wife an actress too?

She is, yeah, she is, yeah. Very beautiful lady, you post a lot of pictures and do a lot of fun stuff together, it looks like. We do, we try to do a bunch of fun stuff. Did you guys kind of fall in love? What was that like for? Because you seem like you're in love, kind of, that's the vibe that I get from you.

Yeah, I hope when you marry someone you're in love, that's the key to the whole thing, I think. But some people don't put their, they, you know, they don't, yeah, because they don't want to, yeah, I'm like a very, I feel, you know, because we wanna have kids and stuff. And some people, I have friends that they like don't put their kids on their social media.

I think I'm just gonna put my kids all over. I don't give a shit. I just like my life, like I'm a pretty open book. I'm like, yeah, this is my wife, these are my friends. This is my kid. I don't kidnap the kid. Obviously, that's a prerequisite. Ooh, yeah.

Yeah, that's definitely no-no, but it's like, but even stalkers aren't that, back in the day, I think a stalker would come to kid. Like stalkers even nowadays are kind of... People don't give a shit about me. You know, that's what's cool about comedians. It's like, there's no real, no one really cares. See the point, huh?

Like, it's like when they see people see you at the Starbucks, or see me, they're just like, oh shit, what's up, man? Yeah. You want some extra pumps of sugar-free vanilla? Yeah. Like that's what I get, you know? Or like, yo, this one's on the house, and I'm like, no, dude, I can pay for the coffee and they're like I got you

Yeah, that's the level of soccer that I have just like a cool guy who's a barista But then when that dude shows up later in your living room and he's like, yeah, this one's on that Yes, you owe me for that cold brew Bro, that would only be a crazy movie like a unique stalker that like just show it like you just wants to broom me as crazy movie like a unique stalker that like just show it like you just wants to broom me as pressos yeah yeah he gives you one free thing and you don't even want it and then he holds that against you forever uh-huh that's like that's like a blackmail episode yeah where he just you're like I didn't even want the egg white and ham sandwich that you made me get it's like I actually had breakfast. Oh, me. I didn't even want this. But all right. I had a woman hit me

after a show once, uh, stopped me after a show. One time an ask her if I was leaving subliminal messages and podcasts to her. And that was kind of crazy. She was extremely serious. Hmm. She was extremely serious. That's scary. It was way scary. But you were, right? Yeah. After I said was, I haven't been, but I will. I would. You're going to start.

Yes. Three M&Ms. Three M&Ms. Whatever that means to her. Yeah, I had one time, and this was really early on. Nothing this weird has happened since, but this girl brought me a bunch of cupcakes to show and this is like right when we're call X was taking off and I'm like, this is the best I get baits goods now. I'm at bait good level. And so I like take I was living with Blake at a time we just rented this like cool house in the Hollywood Hills and I come back and I'm like, yo dude, I got these cupcakes. Like I'm at baked goods level

and I like bid into a cupcake. Here's a first cupcake I bid into, chunk of her hair dude. Uh-uh. Mm-hmm. Like a full on tendril. Like a lock. Like a lock.

Like she cut off a little chunk, baked it into a cupcake. So, I'm fucking weird as that, dude. I mean, what is she getting out of that? And then now I'm like, well now I can't, that sucks. Because I want to be able to eat baked goods from fans. I want to be able to accept. That's poli.

It's romance, I think, dude. The delicious, you know, treats that are given to me, but now you can't, you never know. God, that's wild, if somebody's hair in there. Yeah. I guess it was like, I'd rather have hair than just like, they just, a ton of fentanyl or some shit. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Like that's for sure better, but still. They had our Taco Bell in our town with famous somebody had been doing doing like duty in the meter, whatever whenever it first opened up. And I know this people say this is an old wives tale. Dude, you're talking true story. Okay.

And they had, and I know people say this happened in our town, whatever, they shut our Taco Bell down for two months, bro. And people were losing their fucking mind. People were getting divorces outside of it. People were throwing bricks through the window. People were right. So people were,

because I think the old wives tale was like, they used dog meat or something and you're like, what? No, but I love a cheesy gordita crunch. How could they do this? But then that wasn't like a real thing. So people were literally like a guy who was working there.

They must've had a guy doing duty in the meat and you can look it up too, I think buddy. But this was, yeah, they, yeah, in my town, I don't think anybody's gonna frown at half a pound of raw beef shan or something. You know what I'm saying? But I think somebody goes and feces you up a meat, you know, somebody goes and feces up a meat, you know, somebody goes and feces up one of those, you know,

what are the crunch rep's of frames or whatever, yeah. But that's really happened in our town, you know, and it's unfortunate that that kind of stuff happened, but can you find it? It may be on a Reddit. I think I found the article, it's just loading. I feel like, it's an old article, bro. Good year. Can't believe it happened. Dude, I remember one night I got out of my

buddies, piss van with the sunglasses. I was so high they wouldn't, you know, because we stopped at Taco Bell. And I got out and I went to live with this other family in high school and I get out and they were there. And I was like, you ever be so high and you see some people you're like, I'm not supposed to see these people when I'm high. Oh, dude. Yeah, absolutely. It's the worst. That's the worst. Uh, yeah, that's the worst.

God, it was the worst, man. Dude, the worst is, like, I like said what like it's something in some vocal level. Ah, and they're like, hey, Theo, good to see you. It's lasagna tonight. Oh, good to see you. It's Lasagna tonight. Good love, Lasagna. Yeah, my agent's called me the other week. They called me like at eight o'clock at night.

And I let it alarm me. I like smoked weed and then they called right then and then it's like the whole team. And I like just change agencies. And they're like, they're just wanting to talk to me about stuff and like career stuff Man, I did I just talked for like 12 minutes straight didn't let them get a word and it's just me like sane words Yeah, that I don't know even the meaning of I'm just saying shit dude afterwards. I was I like call my manager

I'm like was I just saying a bunch of words is like yeah, dude. Afterwards I was, I like call my manager, I'm like, was I just saying a bunch of words? It's like, yeah, dude, you were making a lot of stuff. I'm like, fuck. Don't call me, don't call me at eight. Like that's a afternoon. It's outside of sober hours for sure. I might have just smoked a joint in which case, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be spinning my wheels in the mud in the vocabulary mud.

Oh, yeah. I think especially if agents, they deserve to hear something from you every now and then. Even if you call them like, hey, listen to me read a little bit of this stuff that I wrote. And you just read like the first chapter of like Scarlet Letterdome. Yeah. They would love that. They would love you using their time like that. They'll stay on the fly.

They would, they would do well enough. Yeah, they'll stay on the fucking phone. They'll, yeah, they'll stay on there and be like, wow, that's interesting. Wow, good stuff. And this is because are you gonna, are you gonna write a book? I know a lot of comics are writing books.

Yeah, he was so hot and he went to another school and you're like, where it is. So there's just like a hot boy in other school.

No, he came, but here's what he would do though. This is the biggest flex ever. He would come to school the first day of school and then go back to like being like a model or superhero.

I was afraid of heights. I didn't love having them on. Yeah, but I, you can't fall from such great heights. Oh, all four feet, 11 inches. So to tumble to the ground. four feet 11 inches. So to tumble to the ground. But I remember those, I remember like the, the hemp necklaces that had like a little silver balls

I like not do my homework And just make him necklaces listen to bush razor blade suitcase on on my CD And just fucking my mom was thinking I was just in there just inhaling weed smoke

Or it's just like one girl was just like a some long hair dude that you know. Yeah. Or it was just like one girl with just like a mouthful of breath. It's just like, wow, that's really cool. Yeah brother was nothing better and worse than the hackie side circle. There was always like two kids that didn't even know how to speak.

I feel like in it. Yeah. And then there were lights out. Yeah. There was like he was like, uh, or it's just like the nerdy kid who like never played any sports and then he just appears in the hacky sex circle and you're like, whoa. Hey, Brian, and what's, what's that dog? Yeah, you want to play it?

He's like, I'm sure. And then he's just a phenom, dude. You know, he's paylay with it. He's got his foot foot foot skills on point. Oh, we had a kid this real pasty kid. I mean he was just God, he probably I don't know if he had any blood in him, you know, he was so white Mm-hmm Like if you wanted to see color in his skin you'd to squeeze the blood up to one side of it So you would do that after you always wanted to see blood

But he broke out and did Michael Jackson one time in the cafeteria and he shocked the world. Oh my God. That was my favorite. We've seen the kid who never talked. And then during the talent show, he's setting up his drum kit. And you're like, what the fuck?

This kid and Randall is drums. Yeah, Randall has drums. And then he's like, this is just a little something that I like to do when I'm at home. And it's like, okay, Randall, let's see, let's see this. And then he's just fucking lures with it. He's Travis Barker on that bitch, just beating them skins. Oh, he played the national anthem.

And that kid was a crazy change. Some are older. Yeah, yeah, he just shows up sets up his drum kit, fucking whales. Thank you. Goodbye. Keep the drum kit. I'm gonna go be a model. God dude, and we're all fucking jealous And it was the worst though because he came and it was like, he just set the bar for what none of us could be.

Handsome wise to the girls, you know. And it was just, there was a kid in my high school, Mike McCoy. These handsome, super cool, super cool looking. Would hang out with like college kids when we were freshmen in high school. Oh, how? How dude?

He, uh, how did he do school. How? How, dude? He, uh, how did he do it? How did he do it? He could dunk a basketball on eighth grade. No. Yeah, just the coolest. I remember one time me and my homie, Nikoji, we're, uh, we're walking through,

I flipped some kids off because I was a bad boy. And these kids were gonna just beat my ass. And they were older. And I'm like, oh, fuck, and my homie Nikoji was a bad boy. And these kids were gonna just beat my ass. And they were older. And I'm like, oh fuck, and my homie Nick Hogi was a big kid. So we like, we try to get over this fence. I hop over the fence,

he couldn't get over the fence. And I'm like, so I had to hop back over the fence. And I'm like, well, I'm not gonna let him get his ass kicked. It'll be solidarity, you know? Oh wow. And so I hop back over and I'm like, all right. And these kids are like,

you better be careful who you're flipping off. And I'm like, yeah, I know, we're gonna get our asses kicked. And then I just hear, nah! Through the masses. And then the fucking crew parts. And Mike McCoy comes through and he's like, they're cool. And these older kids, Mike's R-H.

And there's older kids like, you sure Mike? And he's like, yeah, they're cool. And these older kids, Mike's R-H. And there's a little kid's like, you sure, Mike? And he's like, yeah, they're cool. Be careful who you're flipping off. You better not do this shit ever again. And we're like, wow. Mike, how cool is that? Damn, he stood up for us. To stand up for us and then they listened to him.

That's cool. What's up, Mike? How's it going, man? Good to think. Thank you, Mike. Thanks, Mike. Thanks for being that guy. Yeah, he's a good guy.

There's ways that people can use their cool that they don't realize sometimes that thing. Yeah. He was always a leader of men. And then he ended up, he's like, he's in the military in a badass fashion somehow. I don't exactly know what he's doing. But there's photos of him jumping out of helicopters,

holding assault rifles. Yeah, cool shit. Right, you know. So we had this kid named Nathaniel and he told everybody like he was an undercover cop or something. Mm-hmm. And he wasn't and um, a bunch of people beat this shit on him. Hahaha.

Different story. Yeah, but yeah, Yeah, He had like a fake battle like he one day pulled out. He's like, yeah, well, I gotta surprise you guys I'm a fucking undercover cop Fuck you in the hand you want to get fuck you this is a 21 jump tree bitch. Yeah, you're not on undercover I'm known you since the fourth grade. You're not an undercover cop. Yeah, dude. You just failed spelling dude

You know, yeah, tú eres chico. ¡Alo, a lo! ¿Enciende la vela para abrir la puerta? Apaga la para cerrarla. Coge la mano. Ahora diga. ¡Abre! ¡Bien en a por ti! ¡Viene la puerta!

¡La mejor película de terror del año! ¡Háblame! ¡Estrén o encines este 11 de agosto! Pulsan el banner para saber más. ¡Oh, es bueno, man! ¿Ya pensé que tienes una plan de churren? ¿Por qué te debes hacer una plan de churren? ¿Cómo te debes hablar con tus espals? Yeah, do you think about having children? Do you guys have a plan for it? Or won't you get married? Do you have to make a plan to have children?

Or how does that kind of, I guess you have to talk about it with your spouse. You do, there is a conversation. And then it's like getting off of the birth control and that takes like a few months to get out of your system. And then it's, you know, that was game on. You got a plan, huh?

But then you even want it to take like, I'm like that was game on. You got a plan, huh? But then even when it's like, I'm like, there can be too much of a plan because like it's life, baby. Yeah. It's just gonna happen. And then you just have to, then you're gonna have like a homey that you like have to take care of.

Yeah. Which is, you know, cause I'm 39 years old now and like, to go this long without having to take care of a little homey is, you know, because I'm, you know, I'm 39 years old now and like to go this long without having to take care of a little homie is, you know, because I've, like a lot of my friends, they had kids, like Blake and honors had kids almost a decade ago now. So they already have like true little people

that they take care of that are like playing sports. Wow, you know, do you feel behind the curve? No, because I mean like, I feel like I also have a whole other group of friends that haven't yet. Yeah. Yeah, it works sometimes keeps you busy, you know? Yeah, for me, I was like, I wanted to be set up enough that when I do have kids, like I don't have to feel like

I know what I can pass on and what. There was a point where I was like, I have to be on the road all the time. I have to be doing, I have to have a TV show, I have to have a stand-up show, I have to have, I have to do all these things to get to the place that I want to be. And then now I'm like, okay, I could set up a movie and I'm confident enough that I'll get another opportunity to come. I don't have to jump on everything. So I'll have more time to be a good dad because you know, that's pretty important. Oh, I think it's going to be key, probably. Yeah. Was there, um, yeah, I guess it's kind

of nice to be, it is nice to be able to say, I don't want, I don't want to do that. Yeah, and feel like, it used to be like, you would think like, oh, if I don't do that, someone else is gonna do that, and then, that I would have lost out on that opportunity. When now it's like, it's fine,

someone else can do it. It's just not, it just wasn't for opportunity. Right. When now it's like, it's fine. Someone else can do it. Right. It was just wasn't for me. Yeah. Or I don't, I want to have the summer to do XYZ. Like that is more important than this right now. Yeah. And I think, like just career wise right now,

I feel like I'm in a place where like I can pick and choose a little more than I used to be able to. Congrats, man. It's real cool. Yeah, thanks. I mean, you too, you know, I bet it's the same with the podcast world that you've built. It's nice to... Yeah.

I remember when it was taken off for you, and I saw you at the, in the hallway of the improv, and I remember being like, just knowing that your standup was really taking off. And I was like, was it your Netflix special? Like, did your special come out and like kind of blew you up? Cause I think I was gearing up to do my Netflix special. And you were like, no, it was really the podcast, the podcast is what it was. Yeah.

And I just, I was like, oh, that's sick. I could see in all you guys, you and you know, Sagar and, yeah, it's a whole world. Yeah. It's interesting to have a whole world, you know? And I think, yeah, it's like, it's interesting to have so many different people in here get to, it's interesting that it almost gave everybody else a different Hollywood or a lot of people a different type of Hollywood, you know.

We just kind of get to communicate, get to sit and chat with people too, you know, and catch up. That's fun. I'm going to talk to some of my heroes. Yeah. It's fun to be able to, what I think is cool about podcasts is it's like, you know, and catch up. That's fun to talk to some of my heroes. Yeah, it's fun to be able to, what I think is cool about podcasts is it's like, it just gives people an opportunity to go like, I wonder what my favorite comics, how they are, when they're not, are they funny, just off the cuff, or do they have to like, write everything down?

It just gives them an opportunity to peep behind curtain of what is kind of like to sit in the back of a comedy club with comedian peers. Yeah. And it's not like we would sit down and have like an hour long conversation in the back of a comedy club because you gotta do your set, but it's like it gives people a little peak.

Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting, man. It's interesting to see, it's interesting here. I like listening to some pods and I'm like, oh, wow, this is good, you know, I mean, it's just, it's nice to be able to talk about things. It's nice to be able to see where somebody's career is at, how some things have kind of happened for them. People's lives get so busy too. I've started to realize that sometimes when I sit down with someone to podcast, it may be the only time I'm going to get to talk to them for a while. Yeah. So to make, you know, to So to really try and make the time have some value,

not only to listeners, but just between me and them. What's like, there's some meme going around of like, I don't know, of like showing kids playing, then it's like, at some point, you're gonna go out and play with your friends, and that'll be the last time you played with your friends and your childhood. And you're like, oh yeah, and it's sort of the same with like comics, where we all kind of were in the same circles when we were starting out at the comedy store at the improv, the laugh factor, wherever. And you just see the same people over and over

and over and over and over again. And then all of a sudden something happens in someone's career and it takes them this way that way. And then you no longer see those people, because it's probably been years since I've seen you. Yeah. So like it's cool for the podcast world to be able to sit down with people that you respect

and like and And have conversations with them. Yeah, and get to catch up with with people that you always liked even if you only ever saw them for 15 minutes in the back of comedy clubs once a week. Yeah I don't know what to say after that. Is that do you have any other good news? Was there anything else that we were looking at in the news? I was interested. Yeah, well, so it looks, they just tweeted this photo last night of Elon Musk's training for his fight with Mark Zuckerberg. I guess it's like Friedman. That's awesome that he's training.

I love it. And I really want to see this fight because it will be entertaining regardless of how good of a fight it is. I thought I read something about how Elon Musk's mom doesn't want him to fight and came out and said, like the fight is canceled. Wow.

But maybe that's the news. I don't know, I have no idea. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to know these days what is news, what is being used as like a ploy to push something. I think that they'll encourage this match, my a musk. Okay. Wow.

Well, I think she must know that Elon, I think they say that Zuckerberg can actually compete. Mark Zuckerberg, he's a light younger than Elon, right? He's only 57 now. Elon's 510 or 11. I don't know the weight difference, but if you have a guy that's really strong, that's small. I think he's going to defeat a guy that's weaker, that's big. Well, and also Elon isn't known for being like a fighter at all.

And I feel like, no, I feel Mark like trains. He works out. He's like, he's like in the Jeff Bezos camp of like, he got rich and then now he just eats space food and treats his body like a temple. Yeah. I mean, Mark hasn't blinked probably since 91 or 92. Yeah, I think he had a, the surgery. Yeah.

I mean, you can see that he's riding an algorithm with his fucking eyes, bro. Yeah, dude. He is, he is human AI right there. It totally is. There's no doubt about it. He very much has an AI look. And Elon looks, I think Elon, I just don't,

I don't know how Elon wins, but if Elon is low key, I mean, he didn't even look at his whole new boxing gloves correctly. If you look at the boxing gloves picture. Yeah, he's not chin is way out there, buddy. Yeah, that's a great point, even just right there. Yeah. And also the age difference, that is something.

Oh, I don't worry. Oh, the other guy's out. Yeah, I'll wear you, oh, the other gas cap. That will be bad. But Elon has a gas, a hang stamp all night and tweeting me. They got a tweet at frickin'. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy you're right. He's got gas in the tank, so maybe.

I'm excited to see, he's also a lot heavier. It's true. So, you know, it's a good point. You just lay it on top of him, you might win. It's a good point. I think it's just getting interesting in the world. This is the type of stuff you're starting to see. And we talked about this years ago about everything

becoming WWE, you know, everything becoming matches. It's like you have, you know, Jake Paul and Nate D as are gonna fight, you know, you have potentially, I mean, this has potential. You know, like, Dana White wouldn't waste his time on the communicating with these guys. No, I mean, I would, I wanna see it. Like, it is weird.

It sort of feels like hunger games or some shit. Like, we're like, they used to make movies. We're like, in a world where, yeah. We're the two richest men in the world, just duke it out. It feels fake, you know? And it feels, it's so weird now that like, like if me and you wanted to just fight, we could fight and then we could like be

at staple center fighting. When it used to be like, you used to have to be a fighter, you would like have to go through training for it just be like me and you were like, similarly built, it'd be like yeah, Theo's got the reach, but Adam could get inside and then we could be at least on a undercard. Yeah, we could be on an undercard.

We could be on an undercard for probably like, oh, maybe who else could go, who else would be on that card? I'd like to see Josh Demelligan somebody. I could, he's a big man too. He's got the long reach. Big him versus Dak Shepherd. Oh, that's a bangerang right there. Yeah, we're the undercar, people are trickling in for us. Yeah, they're trickling in.

They're like still getting their drinks and their footlong dodge your dog. Yes, that's explained into his wife who we are. Uh huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Showing clips. She's like, oh, I saw bumper from pitch perfect is fighting the podcaster guy.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, honey, it's going to get better, honey. Yeah. Better, better. They will get better. It's just me better honey. Yeah, better. Better. Hey, we'll get better. It's just me and you just just dancing around each other.

Neither was really wants to throw a punch. You break it as I hit you once. You break it as I do. I spin off. And then who else is on that card? Who's under us? You said bang ring. What if you went like old like a roofio type of like

versus a manual Lewis maybe? Oh, versus a manual Lewis maybe. Oh, is a manual Lewis dead? But hey, we don't wanna put that out there if he's not. Hey, sorry. Whoever brought Pink's mom to the show, looking for a long stead. That's his promoter. Uh-huh.

So, there we go. 52. 52, all right. Versa Rufio, so if you had them too, and we need a good female bout on the card too. Yes, absolutely. Uh, Jane Lynch, Amy Schumer. Oh, I like that. That's fun.

Jane's a little older, but she's, she's a tall woman. She's longer. She's longer. And she, she looks like she could go through a fucking like Yeah, she could run through a wall that lady. Oh, she looks like the like a win-time that'll beat the fuck out of some music That is exactly what she looks like. That was a perfect description of Jane Litch Evie fun man What else anything else Zach or do you think we covered a lot of neat stuff?

Do we cover neat stuff Zach? Yeah, I think we covered a lot of neat stuff? Do we cover neat stuff, Zach? Yeah, I think we covered some neat stuff, dude. Learned about piss pigs, I was informing you. Oh, that's so heartbreaking. Yeah, we couldn't really look it up because it is pretty pornographic. Thank God, and I have the blockers too on my phone and computer.

But the movie is July 7th. That's right, July 7th, the outlaws, we wanna go watch it. And what do consumers need to think about when they go watch stuff and how it affects what other movies are gonna be created? Because I feel like that's starting to become like, it's always been a thing. But with only so many comedies being created last year,

man, that's unbelievable. That sucks, dude. It sucks. And luckily, Netflix is one of the places that is just willing to roll the dice a little more than other places because it matters so much less. Like the machine and Sebastian's movie about my father. I think the fact that they put both of those movies out on the same weekend, I'm like that fucking sucks.

Because like you're putting out six movies all year long and then you put both of those movies out on the same weekend? I'm like, that fucking sucks. Because like, you're putting out six movies all year long, and then you put two of them out on the same weekend. And so like, if you were going to go see a comedy, you had to choose between these two. And then when those movies only make $8 million or whatever opening weekend, or you're like, well, if it was only the one movie, maybe it could have made 14. It could have made, yeah, 15, 16. And then that's a healthy amount for it to make but right yeah so it's a yes support if you like comedy support comedies watch it tell your friends to watch it and then and then we'll have the opportunity to make more of them and and it used to be you know well people like well through you made better comedies than it's like, sure, but it's hard to make a movie, first of all.

It's really hard. And secondly, there used to be like 40 shots and making a good comedy. And then maybe two or three of them were a classic comedy. And you're like, well, that old school and came out, you're like, well, there was 28 other movies that weren't old school that came out that year. You know what I mean?

Right. So the more opportunities we have to make classic comedies, the more we'll be able to nail it. But I do think outlaws has a potential to be one of those type of movies. So I'm really proud of it. Do you think of, um, do you start to think of creating a movie entirely of your own, like you are partnering with somebody and using your own, like doing it direct to consumers? Does that ever start to become a discussable model? Maybe not in your space.

I mean, you're kind of a... Yeah, just because it's... The movies I want to make are usually action comedies and they are... You need money. Any money. Like, I don't have $30 million of my own money to invest in the movie.

Right. So you need a partner, you need a big deal. Yeah, and you need a partner. And then also like it costs a lot to promote a movie too. Like that's where people get like buying TV commercials to play during basketball games and like things that people are actually watching live. I cost so fortune.

Yeah. And to put billboards up and to have radio commercials and to get the word out there, I don't have that infrastructure. So like, workaholics movie, we were going to do a workaholics movie and we were five weeks out from shooting. You'd already written it. Already written it, we're in pre-production, had offices, we're building sets, had the whole cast and crew coming back.

We're gonna shoot it here in LA. Wow. And then at the top of this year, Paramount Plus, said it didn't, and they like, went off on like, you know, the holiday break. And when they came back, they were like, you know what, we have a new global agenda, and we don't feel that Workhawk fits the global agenda,

and they pulled the plug from us No, and everyone's like just make the movie on your own. It was like We don't have that much money to you know, we're not billionaires We like we don't have that kind of coin so like Now it's just and they own the rights to it too. So we couldn't even anyways. So yeah, we just All that all that work for for nothing. How did and that, I mean, that just goes to show you how hard it is, why people don't, I can't imagine that, maybe I can't imagine that, not getting made.

I can't imagine if you're going to find a brand that people love, that that would not, that they would not think that that would have an audience. It was so heartbreaking because it was, I did get a writer really funny press release though, about just, I said butthurt like 15 times and then how butthurt I am that they pulled the block, which I'm, it was funny to see like,

and variety and the Hollywood reporter saying, Adam DeVine says he's very butthurt that the Paramount Plus canceled the Workaholics movie. But they like were gassing us up. They're like, this is the canceled the Workaholics movie. But they like were gassing us up. They're like, this is the home for Workaholics. We wanna build out the Workaholics universe. And they're like, we wanna do like a spin-off show that you guys executive produce.

Maybe we do an animated project, we'll do the movie. Like we want your brand of comedy to live on Paramount Plus. And we're like, thank God. Like we have a home base that we could just go to, we can make all of our stuff there. We can keep the work logs family alive. Like so many friends and people that worked on the show that that was gonna be their opportunity

and then they just pulled the rug out from us. So, super butt hurt about it, but. Anything else, is that anything? That's unreal, man. Yeah. It just shows you how hard it is to get something path. I just like do people not, it's almost like if it doesn't have global power,

if they don't think it can sell, if it can sell tickets to everywhere. Well, see, that was the, what was weird is like, I've been in the Amazon jungle. I've been up the Amazon and we stayed in a little hut and the guy who was like in charge of feeding us, his teenage son, new workaholics was a fan

I've been in Germany just like walking along the fucking Berlin wall and people are stopping me saying they love workaholics I'm like it was pretty global yeah as far as a you know kind of a cold comedy show goes. I'm like It wasn't like it was it wasn't like a hundred million dollar Marvel movie. Yeah, so I don't get it. You know, I feel like they're really trying to figure out what they're doing over there at Paramount Plus and they, they have not fully figured it out. It's so, it's so, it's so, it feels so weird to know how people who are making the choices don't, don't have a real understanding of what's going on or what they, or what the zeit

guys to like people think is funny is. Yeah, well, I think it was like, it comedy central hit and it was people of a certain age, right? That really loved it. They were like, just got out of college or were still in high school or like maybe even a little bit older than that. That were like, oh yeah, that was just like me when I was in college or kids that were younger. they were like, oh wow, that seems crazy. Yeah. Like when I have my first jobs, I hope me and my friends to live with each other

and party all the time. And then I think like, they're like people who had kids that were the right age, know about workaholics because they're like, oh my teenage sons loved workaholics. And I think it was just like the generation, the kids, the guys that are in charge now didn't have their kids were talking about. So they didn't know. Fuck. And I think it was just we missed

that window, I think. What a fuck. That's all right. Things are going well. Yeah, things are going well. But it is interesting to hear about that. Dude, the other night after I show this guy, this Mexican kid, this guy at the show, he's a Mexican guy, he comes up and he's like, this is the craziest request ever got to go. He goes, hey bro, can you make a video from my cousin Oscar? And I was like, yeah, man, what are you going to say?

And he's like, oh, he got possessed by ghosts. That's what he said, right? Yeah, I'm joking. Yeah, yeah. He's like, oh, he got possessed by ghost, man. So just fucking telling something positive. So just try to exercise his demons. Yeah.

I was like, oh, Oscar, homie, we miss you, homie. I'm like, it's all we miss you. Come back to the light. I didn't know what to say, bro. But that was probably one of the craziest requests that I've gotten from somebody. That's so funny. Oh, dude, in Germany one time,

we're biking on the thing. We're biking somewhere. Some guys in a park had a weiner on them. I mean, a real fucking, like a doxin' you know what I'm saying? He had that fucking, that thing would go get the paper. The long thick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had that fucking, that thing would go get the paper. Yeah, the long thick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He really had fucking, I don't know he did it,

but somebody, he did it. And he was swinging like a rope in the fucking part as you have to, if you got a thing like that, you got to swing it. That's true, yeah. And it's also Germany, they don't even care. That's just an afternoon there. Right, we were shocked.

Oh, the people were literally splitting up a, you know, maybe a little, cutting up a kiwi right next to it and having like a little launch. Yeah, it's fine. That's just an afternoon for them. Yeah. Just a German afternoon, brother. Sprakasiddoich.
