Okay, no marks. No, there's no marks, yeah. Okay. D.P. There's no Dvue. No. Are we going to banana in? You're going to be in. Well, you're not in the project.

You're in the mix. Oh, yeah, we pinned you. We pinch you? Wow. Yeah. Don't you hate that old terminology? What do you like it? You're in the mix?

You ever get that or not? No. You've never gotten that? Of course you've never gotten that. She's already in. You're in. Have you ever been the mix or have you been it? What are you?

We don't know. Too successful. What? Well, what happens is, you know, when you audition, Oh, you're in the mix. Yeah. Jenny, I didn't know what it was. I know.

You didn't even know what it was. Well, what about, what about, we're just checking a video. I'm sorry for getting angry. We're checking. a veil. Oh yeah, I know that one. Have you had your avails? I've checked that, yeah.

And they're like, what happened with my, I said I was a veil? Yeah, yeah. You don't know on this level. I've never been on hold. They've never even held. Well, then why would you agree with her? Well, I know what it is. I've heard about it. Okay, I'm sorry. My roommate, he's been on hold. Oh, really? So he's been on hold. He's an actor? Yeah, he's been on hold.

Wow. He's been in the mix. Yeah, he's in the, I don't know if he's, I feel like in the mix is above hold. But did they go another way with it? They went another way. They loved you. They went another way. We went another way. It wasn't right for this one, but there's other stuff coming.

How many times were you not right? Millions of times. Yeah, me too. How about you, Fred? Millions. So many times. Yeah, yeah. Things have just sort of evaporated.

Whatever happened to that thing? It's gone. That's what it is. I get a call all the time. You want to do this, Indy? Yeah. I go, yeah. We got funding.

Great. All right, give me the money. What is the money? They tell me, right? Two days before it's gone. You're attached. They lost the money. They always lose the money.

I don't know where the money goes. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, the projects now, well, you guys do. I have a couple of Hollywood, but my point is that, or... You have a couple of Hollywood things that I'm doing. But would you say the movie that we're in together is more independent, not Hollywood? I think it was independent.

Yes. It was an independent movie. Yeah. Right. But it's stacked with Hollywood. Yeah. I mean, we're in it. I know.

Right. Yeah. So is it indie? Oh, they got the indie. He got indie mommy. He can watch you guys to say he's part of the Hollywood crew. That's what he's trying to get at.

That's what Hollywood looks like. Does it look like that? That's what it is. So I've seen it, Daddy? You've seen it. I saw Daddy. I saw Hollywood, Daddy. I'm sorry, that was weird.

The movie's called Nimrods. Should we end? Yeah. Should we get to the... It's not called Nimrods? Yes, it is. You act confused like I said. It said it wrong.

No. Okay. The movie that we're in is called Nimrods? Nimrods. Yeah. I'm confirming. Yeah. You were so fucking creepy in that.

And fuck. Thank you. I have to say my favorite thing about Fred in this movie. Yeah. Your performance. Thank you. But I also love that you're wearing like four sweaters. I know.

You're wearing like a sweater on a sweater on a sweater on a sweater. Yes. Your choice. And then you have to. No, it was the costume designer. Uh-huh. was like, I have this idea for this character. Yeah.

Do you think Fred would be up for it? I remember being there for this conversation. And I was like, I think he would. You should ask him. And so she asked you and. Yeah, I always just say, oh, whatever you guys wanted to. Yeah. But you're so bulky.

Yeah. And the way you move, like, you can't even put your arms all the way down. It's very funny. No. And I have a question for you. What is it? Okay. The line where you're like, have you ever seen a Rodey?

Yes. Did you make that out? I did. Why? Because it's really funny. Oh, my God. You guys, thank you. So that means so much coming from you guys.

It's a good part for you. But I felt bad. Yeah, so there's a scene at the beginning where... Well, let's explain it in general. Let's say what the movie is. Do you want to start? Sure. It's Nimrods.

It's a Green Day comedy. The Band, the Green Day. New Green Day. Produced by Green Day. Produced by the Green Day, the band. That's right. And it's about three teenagers and a punk rock band. We're not those.

We're not that. Not us. They cast you guys as a teenager. Well, I pushed hard. That would be amazing. And they believe that they are opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve, if they can just get from Kansas City to Los Angeles. And we are, I play the mom of the kid. Yep.

And at the beginning of the movie, he's just trying to get into a Green Day concert. And they ask me, have you ever snuck into a concert? And I say, yeah. And they say, how? Did you blow a roadie? And I say, blow a roadie. Have you seen a roadie? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's your line. That was my line. Really good. Yeah, thank you. But when we were filming, like, you know, Green Day was there and like their roadies were there. And I felt like they were all like, hey. I feel like they would smile along.

You think they would? Yeah. I don't think they have that kind of ego. Okay. Yeah. You're in the music world. Yeah. We all are, I think, to an extent.

What do you mean? I would love you. I just saw Hollywood the other day. You just got to talk. I just saw it. You showed me, but yeah. Yeah.

No, I mean, I play the music a little bit, but you are more in institutional bands, if I may say. Like bands with, you know what I mean? If I could Google, the members are on.

Sure. Yeah, so that's real to me. It's all real. That's fake? Because, Jenna, I even feel like your connection to Green Day is like, it's pretty real.

My connection to Green Day? Yeah. Yeah. How real is it? I have all three of their phone numbers in my phone. What? Whatever. Good, right?

That's kind of real. Yeah. It's one of my proudest, it's one of my proudest flexes. How so? Is it through the movie that you got? Years ago, I remember you knew them years ago. Yeah. Yeah, so years ago, Billy Joe Armstrong starred in a movie that my husband wrote and directed

Lee Kirk. Lee Kirk also wrote and directed this movie. And through the movie. that process, they became friends. And then a few years ago, he called Lee and he said, I have this idea, I want to do a Green Day movie, but I don't want it to be a biopic. I kind of have this idea of like a young punk band traveling across the country to get to a Green Day concert on New Year's Eve. What do you think? And my husband was like, oh, yeah, I love it. I think that's a great idea. And so he interviewed everybody in the band. And we just went to concerts and we hung out with them all

the time and he got all their stories. He wanted all their stories pre-Dukey. So everything about traveling around in a band before they were like Green Day. Yeah. And he weaved all of that, all those little Easter eggs into the story of this movie. But in that process of all these years of knowing Billy Joe and going to all the concert and hang out with the band, I slowly got all their numbers. It was, I got Billy. Did you get Billy first? Billy Joe first. Yeah. The crazy thing was that. that when he was starring in that movie, that first movie called Ordinary World,

he was like, he takes, he's really serious. He's like a serious artist. And he came over to our house. I was pregnant with my daughter. And it was the craziest thing. Why do you keep looking at Luke? I don't, because he asked me the question.

Oh, that's a very good. Yeah, we're having a conversation. He, should I? Your tone? Stop it, all right? Because this right here is pure magic. No, I know. What you have,

what you have, of you is pure magic and don't desecrate it with your low, lowbrow comedy. Oh boy. Okay, these are professional Yeah, yeah, look at their IMDBs. I'm looking at. Right? It'll take you days. I'm sorry.

It's fine. I'll direct the rest of it. You direct it to me because I don't like it. And I'll look at you in the meantime. Yeah. So that we're all. Yeah. You say when we switch. We'll say switch. We'll switch it. And then we'll switch it back. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go.

Yeah. To my right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So I opened the door and there's just like Billy Joe Armstrong is just standing there and he's there to rehearse for the movie. Wow. And I ran lines with him.

That's amazing. We became friends. Very nice guy. I've known him a long time too. Yeah. Yeah. He used to send, oh, the punk bunny. Yeah.

Coffee. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You don't remember that? You ungrateful piece of shit? You're acting like him right now. Why are you so angry? Okay.

I'm sorry. And I knew that was ungrateful. Yeah. Fred, I apologize. I got sent coffee, but it didn't have that name. It was something else. Was it? Well, it had it.

It changed names. Oh, is that what it is? It changed names. It was Oakland. That's the one. Something. Yes. And then it changed to punk bunny.

I see. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I was more Oakland, I think, than punk bunnies. I think so. Yeah, yeah.

You were pre the name change. I think so, yeah. So when I got, yeah, yeah, that was a lie on my part. Okay. Yeah, I apologize. How honest you mean. Yeah. I'm always honest with you.

You are. Yeah. So I don't know how I got in, but thank you. But it was a fun experience. I got to meet the kids, you know, Ryan, Mason. Kyler? Kyler. Did you meet McKenna?

I don't think you were there at the same time. I never met him. I think she walked Bobby, but I never met her. And then, yeah, I think Ryan Faust is a gem. He is wonderful. Yeah. And he's so good in the movie. Fred, Fred, I met him on the movie.

I don't know if you know this. I met him in the movie. He goes, you know, he was. interesting doing stand-up. So I set up some dates for him and he went up. Yeah. Where did you set up the dates? At the comedy store. Can you believe that? In L.A.? Yes. Yes. That's really nice of you. And he did it like five

times and he came over to the store. And did you go? Of course I was, it was my show. This is so nice. What do you mean? You're all right. Yeah. So I. Yeah. Very good. Yeah. That's so cool. Yeah. I'm being sincere because I can't tell. Because inside in the fucking

my house, you said, I just came by to stop by. I'm not actually going on. Right? And I was like, are you being real? And you're like,

yeah, I'm being real. And I don't know you that well. So it's like, I'm like, I think he's fucking leaving. And Jenna backed it up. This is right?

Yeah, yeah. That's my favorite thing about Fred. What? He just lies? No. No, his like, dead pan sense of humor.

I've known Fred a very long time. This is the second movie that Fred have been in together. We met on a movie called The Promotion that we shot in Chicago. It was a Steve Conrad movie. So Steve Conrad, DTF St. Louis. Oh, amazing. This was his directorial debut and we were in it. Yeah. That was great. Do you remember that? Of course. It was so, so great. It was so fun. That was it. 2000 and a long time ago. Is that Joaquin Phoenix? 2008 or seven? No, that's John C. C. Riley and Scott. Oh, Sean, Nolan Scott. Yeah. Molly Shannon. No, that's Lily Taylor.

But is that Molly Shannon to the left? No, that's me. That's her. That's myself. Were you in the movie? You know what? I don't think you're in the movie, Fred. Literally photoshopped that picture.

I think the whole thing is. It is. We never posed for a poster. I don't know where they got that, but it's terrifically smart. Can I be on Fred's side on this? It does not look like you. No. Yeah.

Well. Looks more like Molly Shannon. I'm in it. Yeah. I believe you. I film scenes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

That's where we met. Yeah. And we became very, very good friends. Yes, we did. And you know what? Do you want me to tell you? When you say good friends, I'd have to know. Let me tell you how good of a friend.

That's what I was going to ask. Yeah, I'll tell you. So we had finished filming it, right? Yes. And it was like that spring, after we finished filming this movie, I was in New York, and I was doing press for NBC for a new season of the office. And I was at this club called Buda Khan. Legend.

They're nightmares. Yeah. Yeah. And so

to get to the bathrooms, you had to go down this really long set of marble stairs. And someone had spilled a drink on the steps. And I fell on the stairs and I fractured my back in four places. Oh. Oh, fine. And I had to leave in an ambulance, and I was taken to the hospital, and I was in New York City, and I'm not from New York City, but I had become friends with Fred on this movie, and I had his number, and I texted him, and I said, I'm on my way to the hospital, and Angela was with me. Angela Kinsey was with me.

She wrote in the ambulance with me, and Fred came to the hospital and sat with me. I have very hazy memories of this, because I think I was full of a lot of morphine. and then you stayed the whole time you were there a while a long while yeah what a good man you are so nice but then I had to I couldn't leave New York I had to stay there because I couldn't fly back home for a couple of weeks until I had healed and Fred would come over and he would take me for very very very slow walks in Central Park because they wanted me to walk every day so like little by little just like these little Pacing around. What made Fred be the first text that you're sending after fracturing your back?

You just really think it's going to be the best vibes. Look at me. Take a good look, dude. Don't you want to call them now? What's the word hunky? Yeah, hunky. I want to call you right now. Yeah.

No, we were just, we were friends for so long. And I think by then, these are SNL people who were around. I don't know if you knew any of the other SNL people. I did. We, because we like, my favorite part of being on the office and being part of like NBC and having to go to these things was that S&L always had to go as well. And so like in our friendship, we had like like closed down like S&L parties, like the party after the party after the party. And so yeah, he was just my, you were like my closest. one of my closest New York buddies

at this time. We really hung out. So Fred, if Bobby broke his back, like, let's say tomorrow, he's like text you and he's like, oh. We don't have that. You know, we don't have that kind of. Well, I don't know.

But if you texted me, how could I say no? I think he would do it. He would be there for you. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if I would text. You don't think you would text? Yeah, yeah. I think I would just grind it out on my own.

You would just lay on the stairs. You would just lay on the stairs and be like, oh, it's fine. Yeah. And I was slithered my way. to the hotel elevator had the car in my car to my mouth, like a pirate.

Yep. Yeah. Why do you have an accent? Why do pilots say? What do pilots say? What do pilots say? I don't know. Pirates or pirates?

Pirates. Pirates. Pirates. You're welcome? Yeah, thank you. Anyway, I would have never called. Yeah. But I got to add that these stairs,

these are the real star of this story. Like they were so dangerous looking. they were like black and it's one of those things like you just look at it and you're like that is a bad fall waiting to happen.

Had you, this is what I'm, were you there at that party? Oh yeah. That's what I thought. Oh yeah. We had been hanging out. Yep. What kind of beverage was that, do you know?

Yeah, you spilled that drink. I do know. Well, I don't know what beverage was on the stairs but I had just gotten a beverage and I'm not much of a drinker so I had gotten like a very free fruity, pineapple-y kind of thing. I can imagine an orangey thing.

And as I went down, I had hardly had any of it. And I threw it like in my own faith. So I'm covered and I reek of booze. So when I get to the hospital, they're like, ma'am, how much of you drink tonight? And I'm like, I've had nothing. I had one sip and then I poured it all over myself. And then I couldn't shower for a long time. I couldn't like raise my arms.

And so it just like, it just went putrid. It stunk. Eventually, Angela, like, tried to, like, wash my hair for me. She's a good friend to you. She's a good friend. But I had to, like, just sleep only to, I remember it so clearly. I could only sleep to the left because if I, like, tried to turn to the right, it was, like, so rancid. Oh, my God.

It was disgusting. And the bones probably hurt. My back hurt a lot. Yeah, I'm sorry. I think I have a picture of us in Central Park. But I vaguely remember your arm also being hurt. You're right, Fred. I also had a sling on my arm because I also, like, severely bruised my elbow bone in the fall.

Oh, my God. And prior to that, I had been playing guitar, and I had to give up guitar after the fall. And you never played again. No. Whoa. Because I couldn't. Pump it down. Yeah.

I know how you say it, but yeah, yeah. Because of my bones. Your bones. And you probably have guitars on the home because of Lee, probably. We have guitars. Yeah, I can tell. And they just haunt me. They just mock me.

They have little mouths and they say, come on here. If only, yeah. If only you never fall. You do a little Disney character. You could play me. I want to do one too. Yeah. Yeah.

How are you? Good. Yeah. I'm oglo. Oh. Like ugly, but og. I'm shliego. I'm slygo.

Hi. I have a funny laugh. You want to hear it? Wait, you'll be fun. You want to hear my funny laugh? What is it? I love it. Thank you, man.

What's your name? I'm David. Oh, normally. Well, he came out of nowhere. Like a banjo or something? Who is this mysterious person that came out of the alleyway? Wow. I'm David.

That was really good, Fred. Yeah, yeah. Took improv, huh? Was that improv? I mean, we scripted that. Yeah. I think we scripted it. Yeah.

We planned that way in advance. You guys think that three camera sitcoms are dead? I read an article for the New York Times about the three camera sitcom. And my point, no, I haven't, I guess. This is what he was doing outside. You did get you. It's arm's at work.

It's so good. It's so good. It might have. Yeah. You could have done that. I feel like every time people, everyone decides that something is dead, then all of a sudden there's some successful

things somewhere and then it's fine. Things are unsure but I think everything will be fine. Maybe that's what I'm going by right now. With the three cameras sitcom? With in general. Okay. You know what I mean? The way things are going.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Less worrying about the outcome and more worrying about what's going on now. That's a good way to live. What? You don't like it? No, I don't know.

It just felt like you set up your own question to be answered by yourself. But it was good. It was good. I agree with that. Dude, you're a fucking ass. I just think that's funny. I just thought that was funny.

So this is the high list level. A movie about Green Day, have you, today's kind of a green day. Have you seen the stock market? That was good. That was good. He's a young comic. He's starting off.

I didn't like that at all. Well, a lot of people think I got applause break. Can I say this? So what did you mean because money is green? Have you seen the stock market? The stock market's really up today. Lots of green. So if it's bad,

you just need like a little pause in between. So let's see this. Yeah. That's kind of like, yeah, yeah. You have to make it seem like you're just thinking of it. Right, right. Yeah, right. It's been a movie about Green Day.

That's good, that's good. You know, stock market these days? Green day. That's a green day, right? Yeah, money and then just follow, you know, money, cash. That's good. It's money green anymore. Yeah.

And then you do, you know, what's a Canada. A premise. See, he, you put out a premise. It's good. It's not good. But just enjoy it. Let it linger a little. You didn't let it breathe.

Yeah. It's hard. You can explore it more by asking questions. Right. Which he did. Yeah. Yeah. Like what's up with green?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever might be, you know. Right. Yeah. How come is on a pearl jam day? You know what I mean? Like bringing some other 90s bands into it, you know? Right.

That's good. It's good. He just shamed you. 311 is a day, March 11. Okay, can you be real right now? That's not bad. Do a real interview question? Okay, okay.

Uh, okay. What was it like working with Bobby on set? I wasn't on set with Bobby. Me either. Wasn't there a thing where there was a candy crush incident? Oh, you're talking about splitting up together. Yes. It's part of the...

You don't know about this, do you? Are you going to bring him into it? Well, I wanted to see it from my side. No one is ever going to see it from your side. I think we have the crew here to do it. Our audience has heard his side of the story for many years. We'd love to get the other. So there's some lying that I did.

Okay. Are you, are you on his side? I want to hear the real side. He doesn't know the real, real side. Okay. Yeah, so let's get it out in the open now. Okay. Fred, we want you to hear this.

And you be the judge. Okay. We did a TV show together for two years called splitting up together. You guys start on that. I did. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. We were all in splitting up together.

Yeah, he forgot that I worked with him. By the way, I know. Yeah, yeah, you forgot that I worked. I was sure. I asked the question. What else have we done? I started panicking. I'm like sweating.

I'm like, what was it like on said? Everyone's like, that never happened. Oh, shit. I got a check. Oh, that's wild. That's right. Splitting up together. What else have we done?

You've done a million things. That's why. We've done a million things. We could have music video together. That's right. Okay. For the old 97s. Yep.

So here's the thing. Okay. I don't know if people listening knows how show business work, but I'll show business works. I always think everything is going to go forever. Like splitting up together. I was like, this is like a real sitcom. Like we're,

they're, this is going, I know, but I, yeah, yeah, I always see it with too much optimism. Like, this is it.

Yeah. Jenna's doing the show for like, ever. She'll probably be busy for like the next 10 years. Well, that's what we wanted, but it just didn't happen. It didn't happen.

Yeah. I was, I've done many sitcoms like that that just didn't work, right? I've done shows. I've never done a sitcom. But I've done shows that did, what do you mean you've never done a sitcom?

Never done a sitcom. What? What? What? it's true that that's not a joke but uh yeah you never serious regular on sitcom you mean no but you've guessed on a lot not like a three camera thing well stuff like what the your show was like that yeah i've done stuff like that anyway this is how it works okay so you get the camera on jan close can i call you jan sure and um you have a little monologue in front of an a crowd

The family. Yeah. Right. So it's not like, you know, it's not like you have a one shot and I have a one shot. You have a one shot. You are setting it up. I already. Yeah.

I already how you're saying. Right. No, I'm sending up the way it is. Painting a picture. Of what it is. Of reality. Okay. Is what I'm doing.

Okay. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. All right. I'm being real about it.

Okay. Right. Single on you. Group shot on us. Yeah. Maybe punch in. Maybe. Maybe punch in, but they hadn't at this point.

Okay. It's a white shot and she gets mad. Why? Okay. I'm going to set it up a little differently. A different setup. Different picture. All right, do whatever you want to.

Okay. So it's a scene. My memory is that it's Christmas. It is. We're all in Christmas onesies, matching Christmas pajamas. It's the whole cast sitting on the floor of the, the living room set, and I'm standing in front of the Christmas tree, and I'm facing them. This is my memory, and I have this kind of emotional speech I have to give.

It's supposed to be, but I also have to be funny in it, but it also has to be emotional. And you were all that. Thank you. To say the least. Thank you so much. And. You hit it out of the ball, kiddo. I mean, get at the ballpark on my bed.

So, you know, you do. Hit it out the ball. You know, coverage. You do coverage. So when the camera was on me, you don't. see, the camera doesn't see them. It just sees me. But they have lines and they have to say their lines to me throughout my speech. Yeah, point taken. And on the first take, I'm like doing my work and I'm scanning the room and I see everybody and everyone's eyes are on me and they're giving me

their lines. And I get to Bobby and he's looking down. And I'm like, oh, I don't know what that's about. Okay, whatever. So we do another take. Same thing. I get to Bobby. He's looking down. I see he has his phone. And I swear, my first thought is, oh my God, I hope everything's okay. He must have gotten an important text message from someone. I hope it's all right because who would get their phone out in the middle of a take, but for an emergency. It was. That's not real. Right? Yeah. And those are lies. It's not a lie. I was like, oh no, there must be a reason. That's still in your head. There's an emergency, a family development. I mean,

that's a little bit of an embellishment, but I did think like, oh, an important something. I already know. Something happened. I already know

that I lost you, all right? And I'm not going to pick you back up. But then I realized he is, like, I thought he was scrolling Instagram.

He's watching videos on his phone. Apparently he was playing Candy Crush or some other game like, Candy Crush. Candy Crush. Yeah. And so, like,

on the, no, fuck you. And I was getting very hype up. At a level, I remember going, I got to finish this level. Because I have OCD, too. So I have mental disorder.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. It's that itch, you know? So I'm like, I got to get the 900, whatever the level was, okay? And I got there. And thank you for much. Thank you very much.

But you have to pick another time to do it. No, I had to do it. And I'll tell you why. It didn't interfere. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This is hilarious.

That's my phone interrupting this podcast. That's my phone ringing in the middle of the story. That's insane. That is awesome. That's ironic. Yeah, yeah. It's ironic. It's called irony.

It's called irony. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Fred, you're lost. So what I was doing is there's 10 eyes she could look at.

This is his argument. Then I would say. He literally said, look at Oliver. Opt to not be in the scene. No, I had to be in the scene. I'm not in a level where I can go, I'm not doing the fucking cross-coverage. You could excuse yourself. I have diarrhea or make an excuse like that.

Like, do you need me for this? Yeah, but now I look like a Hollywood. You're whispering into a mic. You just got to Hollywood. No, but now I look like a fucking, you know, doucheback. But look what happened. Yeah, it was the candy crissing. The impression you made on Jenna is that you're playing a game.

But so I, I bit his head off. I did. Yeah, she bit my head off. I said, Bobby, what the actual fuck, dude? What is happening? And I was shamed. Is that true? Oh, yeah.

And I felt bad then. No. No. No, no, no, no, no. Thank you. No, thank you. Thank you for correct me. No, I feel bad that you ever have any shame about it.

I have absolutely no shame. It's the funny thing to even talk about. That's why I brought it up. Yeah. You know what I mean? But he hasn't done that ever since on cross-cover. Well, I think that's good. I will never do it again.

Well, thank goodness it was me then. That is sure. It could have been someone else who would have like really. Christian Bale would have just punched it. You know what I mean? You would have been out of his mind. Marlon Brando? No.

A horror. You know, remember? And I'm like, yeah, because now I'm in that scene, but I'm not on camera. Yeah, my character. But anyway, yeah, I will never do that again. And I learned a very valuable lesson. I felt bad about it. But we're over it.

You and I have way past it. We're way past it. Yeah. It's like, you know, at the time I didn't feel bad. I feel bad now. Wait, what? What? You kind of backtracking as your lawyer here?

No, no, no, you're not, I fired you as a lawyer. You mean, in the moment that you were doing it because you didn't realize. I'd be completely honest with you? Yeah. There's not a shame of it. No. I was like, what's this white lady? I admit that's my mind. She's the answer. Yeah, yeah. And I got race in there.

I was like, what's this white bitch? You know, something like that. Yeah. Yeah. And I didn't like it. But I love you now. I feel bad about the whole thing. And where is that game now? We can't be this. Canney I stopped playing the game. In fact, Mr. Ormus, and if I may call you that. And also, I stopped playing it.

I stopped playing video games in general because I had an addiction problem. Yeah. And I also quit pornography as well. So I've, yeah, I've quit. Don't even have the clap for that. Was that were any of the games pornographic was ever like a... But they didn't cross over. Yeah, I don't know how to get those games.

It's just an Xbox. They're hard to get. But that's the invention. If they make that, they're going to score. Anyway, the movie comes out August. 14th. I'm all over the place. When is this coming out?

Don't say it's live. It's not. Definitely not one. How did I think that was Molly's Shannon? I'm so. What was my math that I was like, Molly Shannon? That wasn't it.

We all believed you. Yeah, it is Molly Shannon. Because you had like an authoritative I can't speak today. I was so short. Looking at that picture. Never in that movie. No.

She wasn't. I was going to say the movie comes out on August 14th in theaters. You should see it in theaters. It's really good in theaters. You get all the music and everything. But there's a special screening on August 11th in certain cities. Are you going to go to any of those? sneak peek.

I might turn up at one. Yeah. I'm going to tell you something about the movie that I really enjoyed. What is it? I talked about a little bit on your podcast. Yeah. But it was the kind of like the realness feel of teenage life and the angst and the dirty. I don't like it when they portray a teenager's.

room and make it spotless like it's an IKEA, you know, showroom. I wanted to look lived in. And the movie looked lived in. Like when you came out, I believe that you were the mom. I'd never seen you in a role like that before. Thank you. Yeah, I'm like, immediately I was hooked, I go, oh, she's killing it.

And then your comedy and it was so dark and fun. And it was a zany part. It's on a zany part? I have, I think that the sets, because we shot it all on location, is added to that. Yes.

That's what I was saying. Yeah. It's just everything. It's not an exciting thing that I added, but I'm just saying to your point, we really did go to Oklahoma

and it was really like the motel was real. I think that adds. I think it adds locations and stuff like that. But it just felt good and that, you know, just working with the kids

and their families and we had to have hamburgers and go out. That was fun. Well, you're really good in the movie. You're really, really good in the movie.

I stopped watching the movie when I, my big headed North Korean face showed up. You told me that you stopped, but you shouldn't. You should watch your scenes. I saw one line. I was like, that's okay. They're all good.

Yeah, they're pretty good. I think your head is little. A little Korean. I think it's little and tiny. Oh, you think it's a tiny little. I think it's a little marble. Dainty. I really appreciate that. You know, I always thought.

That's how I see you. Yeah. Maybe it's the stereotype of their thing. Oh, Koreans have a big head. I mean, is that a stereotype? No, look at the Mexican. is it? I mean, I have a big head.

Yeah, yeah. Google, if that's a stereotype. But I've never heard that. They say a lot of Koreans have big head. There's like a thing in the community. There's like, what? It's a thing in the community. There's certain things that we talk about ourselves that you're not privy to.

Wow. Like, we don't talk about that's hacky stuff, like math or, you know what I mean? We can't drive any of those kind of stereotypes. But there's specific stereotypes. Like, we're sneaky. We are. That's a stereotype?

Well, we think we are. Look at ninjas. Oh. Yeah. I just put that together. Ninjas are sneaky. Pretty sneaky. I mean, you need to be sneaky if you're a ninja.

It's a part of the job. Like half of it. They do seem sneaky though, ninjas. I find them sneaky. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, me too. And they're good at climbing things, I believe. Right.

In a sneaky way, quiet way. Very quiet. Yeah. They also is a stereotype that like Japanese businessmen are quiet. and then when they have to talk, it's real. No, the deal go down now. Or whatever it might be. I said, 499,000.

And then that's it. That's the last thing. And you have to negotiate. That was really good. What? Thank you. That was very enjoyable. It's just my Kim Jong-un in Russian.

Is that your Kim Jong-un? Yeah. Thank you. It's pretty Japanese, though. You did Japanese just now. Yeah, he's Korean, I think. I don't know. I don't want to speak on your thing, but

I have a question. Go ahead. Go ahead. I have a question for you. What's the plan with Mad TV? Like there should be more celebration around it. There should be some, yes or should. You know, let me say something.

You want to pick blood? I saw a picture that I saw a picture that I think four cast members did an appearance somewhere. Maybe it was a Comic-Con. It was Comic-Con. And I'm like, where's the big one? where there can be like a real show of appreciation for that show. I think... Where does it even, like, where does it live now?

Yeah. I remember Chasing Morgan once came up to me and he goes, yo, Bob, your show's so, um, not classy. Matt TV, he said. Okay. Yeah, that we do low brow punches down and stuff like that. And I always felt like you guys never really liked us. SNL people.

That is in your head. And now that I know that it's just in my head, I appreciate it. Come on. All right. I need that from you. I think SNL is like literally family with the Myers. You're right. There is a family connection there.

I mean, the room is, there's too few people doing it that would, anyone would have a problem. I think you're right. Yeah, come on. Yeah, we would just talk about you guys in a jealous way. I've never said that out loud. Have I ever said that out loud before? No. Yeah, I've never said that out loud before.

Whichever way that is, you guys should do something and celebrate it and, you know. I think it's hard to get everyone together now. You can do it. You can do it. People would be psyched. It took me a year to get Jordan Peel on this, just him on this podcast. You know what I mean? So it's like, I think it'd be hard.

It would be worth it. It would be worth it. For you to get like an office reunion, like a dinner set up, is that hard? To get, like, the most of the people? That means that's hard. My headphone just went out. Oh, can you help her?

Help her. That's her way of saying she doesn't want to discuss it. No. Oh, wait, it's coming back. It's coming back. Wait, no, now it's totally gone. And now it's like, it's going in and out. But, um.

You guys still have those? Oh, wait. Dinner's? It's fine. It's back. I won't move. Okay. Um, we have a text thread called office peep.

and we text on it a lot. And Greg Daniels had a brunch at his house a few years ago, and most of us were there. But some people are in New York, and then that gets difficult. So we have not ever had a full everybody cast reunion since the show stopped. Well, then, yeah, it's hard to get everyone in it.

It is. It's hard to get everybody in the same place. Could you get your reunion going or no? Yeah, we have dinner. and stuff. But I mean more like everybody is doing it. But I mean more like

you should set up a show somewhere. We're going to do this appearance that's going to be whatever, eight or ten of us. Come out. Come out and like. Stephanie Weir called me and she's like,

I'm doing a show in the ice house and there's a bunch of mad people on it. I almost did it, but my schedule is, but maybe I will do one. People would be psyched. I mean like some sort of Q&A or something. Maybe show clips. Yeah.

Maybe. And here's the other part of it. You make a little money doing it. Whoa. Now you're talking my language, guy. Some tickets. Make them happy. Make them happy.

Now we see where this was going, though. You're worried about money. Oh, I love money. You do it. You're kidding? Yeah. Money? It's true.

It's the best. It's she and you get like, order stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I have one of those, one of those. Yeah, I do that. I do that with Postmates. Yeah. But I just throw it into the air.

I have heard that you do that with Postmates. What? that you order, don't you order from different places? I'll do a DoorDash, a postmates, and a fucking Uber rides at the same time. Oh, wow. Do it. See who comes faster from the same restaurant. Does it see?

Jersey Mike, let's go. You know what I mean? It's great. You get on a plane, you're like, put me up front. Put me in first class, please. Do you do that? Oh, you do that beforehand. You just say it.

No, and I just show up, I might not put me there. Yeah. Flash and cash. If a movie flew out, coach, would you be mad? If what? A movie flew you out coach. I wouldn't consider it a movie. I'd be like that.

I'd be like that's a project. Short film. That's a short film? I thought you didn't know what coach was for a second. When I was a kid, I did. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, old.

They still have it. Like up to like 10 or 11. You know. Those days. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, little coloring books and stuff. But I have fun memories. of it. Yeah. Sometimes I go, I'll ask, like, can I afford it? No, you're fine. Yeah. I just want to

keep asking. So, you know, I don't, you know, I want to be, I don't be wasting money. But as long as my, you know, money people said, you're fine. For first class. What? You're talking about first class. Yeah, first class. Yeah. That's what I meant. Sorry, my bad. I was just curious. I once asked Susie Ormond. I know we were just goofing around a little bit, but I once asked her, I was like, it's a lot of money first class. What is your opinion? on that. What did Zupi Ormond say? And she said, you make your living

with your body and your voice and you need that room to rest and not get sick and that's all I needed to hear. This is a private... That's all I needed to hear, dude. It was great. No more guilt.

You have to allow yourself that room. That's how you make your living. Yeah. Your body is your instrument. Yeah. So you need to transport your instrument with the greatest of care. Yeah.

Better put. That's a better. Now I'm like a violin. Yes. A violinist. Yeah, that's what it is. How would they transport their instrument? In the best violinist case out there in the market.

Yes, right. Right. So that's what we're doing. Yes. That's very interesting. That first class seat is our case. Yeah. But I have been treated poorly where it's like you go to set and they don't have a trailer for you.

Did that happen on Nimrods? I think Nimrods is more of an open. Yeah, no, I had a room. Yeah. A nice room. Did you? Yeah. I had one your size.

Well, I always compare. When I was on, I was on Yimrods, I just got a tiny sliver of a honey wagon. That was pretty good. Yeah. Wait,

that's what I had. I had a sliver of a honey wagon. Sliver of a honey wagon, because it was an independent movie. You don't need more than that. I mean, it's nice, I think,

when you have your own bathroom. Oh, yeah. And this, we didn't have bathrooms. We didn't have toilets. I do it before I leave L.A. Like, bathroom stuff? Well, I mean, we talked about what our opening move is pooing. What?

What? What is it? That was a private. That was very private. That was private. And now, look, now it's on camera. It's live. Now look at that.

This is humiliating. Sorry, friend. You had night shoots on Nimrods, though. You guys both did. That's right. Weren't your call times? Like, you had to be at work. work at like 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. Yeah, yeah, I like that. And then you worked all the way till

dawn. Do you like that? My feeling is, it's Lee. So I'm like, oh, he's great. You know what I mean? He does his best to take care of everybody. That's all fine. That's great. He is a good, he's a good director that way. He's great, supportive, pleasant, not stressed. So you didn't like it. And it's green day. So it's just like, we're good. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I was just grateful to be there. I'll tell you why. You didn't think this through. I did think it through.

I have everything thought through. Because I never know when it's going to be my last. Winking. Yeah, I never know. Because it's changing so rapidly. Sometimes I think to myself, oh, this could be the last one. So just be grateful that you're here. I experience all of it.

Yeah. I think a lot of people feel that way. They go through like, got to keep it going. Yeah. Right, kind of. Yeah. Yeah, it's changed so much. You know, I look at kids like this and I just feel bad.

Well, because you don't, they don't know the excitement. They'll never know the excitement. I might. Not never. And what are you going for to be a stand-up comedian or an actor? Stand-up comedian. But it feels like with every stand-up comic that you're supposed to act, it seems like. take acting classes. No, you don't have to. Oh, that's good to take acting classes, but you don't have to act.

It seems like that's what you do. No, I think there are many stand-up comedians who love just doing that. I think Todd Barry is one of those. He's expressed how he's not interested. He's done stand-up. I like both, but I definitely want to do a stand-up. Headlining, touring stand-up. It'll be cool. Oh, you'll do it. You'll do it. Thank you. Yeah. If you say so. Yeah. But what I was saying, though, before is I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, guys. what I meant by that is like a proper pilot season Yeah

You know where we like you have three in one day And you're running around Right and then you get these calls Like they're testing you get excited Right And then you get it Or you're in some city Like I remember shooting one in Chicago

And just staying in these cool place I was young You know with a bunch of young people You never knew You could have been like a life changer these kind of feeling and now it's gone and over no what I'm saying is

it just doesn't happen as frequently as when we came up I get it yeah and I just there is a feeling of like oh they got you know it's different there's other stuff though

you know you go to now you instead of that now it's like oh you go to the valley you record a podcast get lunch are you saying my podcast it's a similar thing it's kind of almost better

no no but your point It's like a version of getting to the next level. Oh, so this feels like... It is. It is not. It is. It is. This is a garage.

This is a studio. I remember going on the Warner Brothers lot, auditioning for pilots. That was a crazy feeling when I used to do that. Yeah. I know, weren't you like Starstruck even by the, even the entrance? Oh, yeah, yeah. I was like, whoa. I'm in L.A.

Yeah. I picture, like, me as a little kid would be like, whoa. Yeah. Or they're doing something crazy. Like, we're doing the table read at the president's office. And you're like, what? Whoa. Is that in the right environment?

Right? And then you're going up and you're like, you're in this like damp office, wooden. Damn. You made all these trophies and awards on the wall. Or hearing people's names like, Ben Stiller's going to be there. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What? I've had table reads where the audience were high hitters.

And they're like, don't fuck this up. like can you do this table read for this movie? You didn't get the part, but it's just to hear it out loud. And then you show up, and then there's these hard hitters in the audience. You don't even have the... What?

You're a hard hitter, come on. You're a hard hitter, dude. I did a table read for Steve Martin. Whoa. When was this? He had written a musical, and they just wanted to hear it out loud. And I can't remember the other people that did it.

But it was at... And I can't sing. So it was very clear to me that this was a reading only. It would go nowhere. It was a musical. It was a musical. And there's like lyrics on the? They had already like recorded the songs.

So they would play the songs, but we read the book. And I remember that my agent was like, there's something you need to know about Steve Martin. He is very punctual. We will be starting on time. so you need to be there 15 minutes early or you're late. Oh no! And all of them, nope.

Everybody was on time. He was exactly on time and we started exactly on time and I thought it was kind of badass. Wow. I was like, that's kind of rad. And then a few years later, I actually did end up. I was in his play Meteor Shower and he was there. It was the first production of it. It was in San Diego.

And he was there. He was kind of workshopping it in the sense that like the first time a play is performed. The writer is there and does rewrites along the way. And I never forgot it. And he invited the cast. Oh, yeah, that's me in Meteor shower. Wow. And he invited the cast out for dinner one night.

And I was like, oh my gosh, I have to be on, I have to be 15 minutes early to this dinner because Steve Martin is punctual. And so I showed up 15 minutes early and he was already there and he was at the table and it was like the greatest 15 minutes of my life because nobody else was early everybody else was like five minutes late and i got like 20 minutes by myself talking to steve martin and i still like relish it so like one of my favorite 20 minutes of my life because he's just amazing i love those moments yeah yeah i have a george carlin one where you met george carlin i was working the back door i've told the story how many times a couple times Yeah.

I haven't heard it. I know you haven't. I was a kid. I was working the back door, and I was wearing a comedy store t-shirt, and this man came in, and it was George Carlin, and he goes,

what's your name, kid? I go, Bobby Lee, I just started college, I just moved up here from the suburbs of San Diego. I don't give a shit. And then he just kind of walked away. And then a year later, I was still working that back door.

He came in, and he walked by me, and he goes, good evening, Mr. Lee, and he remembered my name. Wow, a year later. And it gave me that old business, like show businessy kind of like tingled down my spine. Yeah. Of a real class.

Yes. And somebody, like Larry David has that, I believe. I think he has that of that old school class. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's lost in many ways. You know, I don't even know his name. That's true.

I had a, I was able to do a table read once with Marin, actually. Mark Marin had me come in and do a table. read one. There was, and this, I don't experience this ever at all. So it was so stressful. He just wanted to hear something he was working on and I was like reading for just like the lead person. And I was like, you're so in your head because they always tell you like, okay, look, it's just to hear it out loud. But you're kind of like, unless I kill it. Because then you kill it. Exactly. You're like, hello. Did you kill it? No. And I think looking back on it, there was they bought a bunch of food for everyone. and then at the end of it there was like a bunch of food left over

and they're like, oh, take the food and no one was really taking the food and I was like, okay, I'll do it and I scooped like a bunch of food on a bunch of plates and left with like a bunch of the food and looking back, I think that might have been a bad. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's good that you took the food.

That seems like a test. No, no, no, no. The test is did you take the food and yes, you took the food and it's good you took the food? Taking the food is good. You want to take the food. Yeah. Why do you want to take the food?

I would say no. No, no, don't be wasteful. No, no, no, no, I think what it is, is like, in my mind, I was like, that kid took too much food. Yes, no, no. No, no way. It was a lot. Did he offer the food? It was like, yeah, take the food.

Yeah, that doesn't seem like an offer. I also noticed that Marin went up after I had taken a lot of the food, and there were some stuff he was kind of scraping at where there was like not a lot left. Well, you can't take all the food. I didn't do it. I was like, what do you do it? No, I gave a grace period of like, people had like, you know, 30 seconds, get your food. They didn't do it. And then I got up there.

To me, it's a test. So if you took a lot of food, I would clock that. I know. I would have been impressed. Okay. I would have been like, good. Be a person who's like, it's like a kind of honesty. Yeah.

Yeah. All of my aspiring actor days were like half of it was auditioning for things and the other half was finding free food. Yeah. But also the mind games of the free food that you can get or what's a test secretly. He's a millionaire. And he helped you. And he, it's not, he's a millionaire.

And he offered you like a $2 sandwich. Yeah, I mean, did you get paid to do this table read? No. No. There you go. That's the payment. And all the food you want. Yeah, yeah.

Did you get the park? No. Okay. I haven't heard about it. I honestly feel like he doesn't remember that I was there. And did it ever come out as a project? Did you ever see it on? I haven't seen it, but I don't know.

It was relatively recent. He's probably still working on or whatever. Yeah. And I'd be honored to work on it. And I'd be, and I'd be. And it would be a pleasure. And maybe they're going to hit me up. They're on my number.

I don't think so. You took too much food. Did you ever go to a table? Because you talk about these things being so cool and good. Did you ever go to one where you were like, this was really bad? Or like a thing on a set. Oh, that's a good question. Great question.

Yes. You did? Yeah. Yeah, but I got the part anyway. What? Yeah. I could see myself when you're saying the words that they can maybe hear in my voice that I might be nervous, but I'm not.

So I'm opening my mouth like, that sounds like I was nervous, but I'm not. And then all of a sudden my head goes out of control. That's never happened. Okay. I was thinking of something else. If something's bad, yeah. I always think, oh, they'll fix it. Like, okay, yeah, this is awkward, structurally.

And they'll fix this at some point. I think, like, they must also know this is bad. Oh, wow. You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, I feel like, like the thing that that I learned from doing the years and years of table reads on the office, finally in season nine, I was a producer. And so in the first eight years, every Tuesday at lunch,

we would table read the next week's episode. And then the actors had to leave. But the writers and producers stayed behind and did notes. And in my actor brain, I assumed they were talking about our performances. But when I became a producer in season nine and I got to stay, I realized they never talked about our performances. They only talked about the jokes and the structure. And if something felt like it didn't work, they completely blamed themselves. And like what they were talking about would be as like minutia as something like, oh, I want somebody to write 12 alts for this one line and this one talking head. Wow. That's your assignment. And now you go off and I want you to work on a better tag, the new tag, a whole new tag for this.

Wow. Wow. And so it was like, it was never picking apart the actors. One time Allison Jones had me, because I was, I had already been cast on a show and they were reading for my wife. It was like it written in the show. And they wanted me to read with actresses that came in. Yeah. And it was an interesting, seeing it from that point of view. Yeah. Was so interesting to me because it's like, yeah, I mean, people get nervous, but that's not the, I mean, if somebody fucks up the line, that's not the end. No.

Sometimes it's just walking in it. That's the guy. Yes. Or that's a person. You know what I mean? When I first came out to L.A., I took this commercial workshop with a commercial casting director. And at the end of the workshop, she was like, all right, I'm going to make the same offer

that I make after every workshop and no one ever takes me up on it, but I'll do it again, which is that I invite you to come to a casting session and sit next to me and watch a casting session for a commercial. Wow. Oh, man. That's good. 100% doing this. Did you?

Yes. Wow. Yeah. So I'm just arrived in Los Angeles. I've been here. I've taken a workshop. Yeah. And now I'm sitting next to this casting director.

And what was so crazy was that everybody came in the room. They didn't know who I was. So they're guarding me as if I'm a decision maker, but I'm not a decision maker. And so that was interesting. Wow. What a good idea. And then what was so interesting to me was how like someone would walk in the room and they would look exactly like what they wanted. Like I knew what they were looking for. Yeah. Um, they would walk in. They would look the part

and then they wouldn't be good. And you'd be like, oh. Oh. And then someone else would walk in. They would look nothing like what they wanted. And then they would be incredible. Yeah. And then someone else would come in. And it was like within the first 20 seconds, you knew if that person was getting a call back or not. Oh, wow. And there were also people who walked in and just crushed it, but just they weren't right for it. And it was true. It was just true that they weren't right for it. Yeah, you're right. Or whatever reason. Yeah. But I would, I would also say that like 70% of the people were good. They were good enough. And so, and the other people, it's not that they were terrible. They just, they needed more time. Like, they should take some more classes and stuff, you know? Yeah. Like, but

it was such an interesting education. It gave me so much more confidence when I went to auditions after But not a lot of people would have taken that up. Not a lot of people would have been like, I'm going to walk, you know what I mean? Right? That she told me you're the first person. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. And I couldn't believe that.

But I can tell because your work, like I've seen you work. It's almost out of control almost. It is. So professional. No, it's too professional almost. Yeah, yeah, because I remember you on splitting it together. I was like, you're the lead of this thing, but you were also reading other things. I did too much.

I did too much on that show. Diane, who played my older sister on that show, she got me aside, and she said, you're doing too much. Wow. You're doing too many things. I was, I was, um, my book was coming out. I was like reading another script.

I was a mom to two little kids. I was like on the board of directors of a charity. And she said, let me tell you something. You only have to do one of these things. Yeah. Wow. You're doing too much. And then I like cried.

I was like, I'm doing too much. Diane. Yeah. I'm doing too many things. Yeah. And that's why when that show got canceled, I took a very big long break from acting. Good. You needed to.

I did. Yeah. I really did. Because I think one time you were like reading two or three scripts at one time. It was nuts. And I was sitting there and I'm like, and then you said some parable. I forgot what it was. But, you know, the mouse that comes last, gets the last chip.

I never said a parable. What are you talking about? That's not her voice either. That's not her. I don't get that parable. I don't speak. And parable. You said something like that.

I did? Yeah. The last, you know, my twinkle in every eye is the one that shines the least or something like that. And I'm like, I don't get that when it comes to like working this hard, but I don't know why you did that, but you know. But you worked a lot. I worked too.

Kevin Hart style. Oh, man, that's hard. Like Kevin. I was that bad? Uh-oh, here we go. I worked that much. I don't want to fight with. No, no.

I mean, no, he has like a well-known, like intense work. No, I was something that. I was like, oh, she's like, like, howie Mendel's like that, where it's like, just constantly working. And I don't see that now. No. Yeah, you're like completely different now. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm so much happier. You seem happier. I am happier. But sometimes it seems like the, like, Fred, do you feel like you need to be constantly working all the time? Because I'm someone where I feel like if I'm, if I try to take a break from something, like taking like a few days off of stand-up, I feel like I lose my mind.

I like being busy with different projects. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like just keeping it all going. And is that apply to like music as well? Oh, yeah, definitely. If I see any downtime, I try to fill it with music gigs and stuff, as much as I can. I feel like you and I would have a very similar music taste.

Oh, does that you miss you? Hey, that's fucking amazing. Great leather jacket. At what point did you realize that you wanted to do comedy a little more than music? Or did that never really happen? No, I wanted to do both somehow. I wanted to... Oh, I thought that you are good.

I wanted to somehow do a version of getting to do music and comedy. And then I got to do it. Yeah, you totally did. Yeah, the drumming thing was great. I love comedy for drummers. Oh, thank you. And you know, my son Weston is a drummer. Yep.

And watching him watch your special was... He was laughing so hard. Like, bent over. I was so glad. Bent over at those jokes. That's so great. I know. So good.

I think you've sent me a video of him drumming. I probably did. Yeah. Yeah. You've always had a Kaufman-esque vibe to you. Sorry. Wait. That weird?

I got weird. It's the way I said it. It's nice. I don't know. I have a photo of Andy Kaufman on my... Oh, you do? Yeah, dresser drawer, yeah. But you always symbolized that kind of spirit of comedy.

Wow. Thank you. Like almost a genius. Whoa, almost a genius. Not quite there. That's okay, I'll take it. I'm not going to say that I'm a genius. No, you are, you are, you are, you're not.

You know what? That's very nice to be. You know what? I pulled back a little bit. That's okay. You are Janus. You are Janus. You're genius.

Were people feeling that way when you were in like your early days of doing comedy? Were you doing weird stuff on the age? Oh, always. Yeah. Were people fans of it or was it like? Well, no, no. It was kind of like some awkward. silences.

Yeah. But then... That's what I meant by it. Yeah. Yeah. But I used it to my advantage. I was like, okay, this will be my thing. That this joke is not going to work.

And then S&L came around. And then it worked for them. Wow. Because it was like different characters and stuff. So... It worked for me. Lucky thing. Was there stuff that you did in your audition?

I like hearing people's S&L audition stories. Like, did you have one of those where it was like silent where people say like, no one laughed? Or was there stuff where you were like, oh, this just... Well... Now I've had the luxury of watching a documentary about the auditions. Yeah. And so now my memory is only what I saw in this video because they showed me my audition.

Wow. And there's Tina Fey laughing away. Wow. Wow. And Paula Pell. I mean, I texted them right after. I'm like, you guys got me this job. Thank you so much for, they were laughing all the way through.

Wow. I don't mean it like, I'm so funny. I just mean like I heard, you know, my memory at the time was I just, just, you know, went through it like lightning. It's like, let me get this right. But then, yeah, they were. I mean, the prep work. Yeah, I can't imagine. You know, it's like a lot, right?

For an audition? For that audition, I think. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I practiced over and over in my hotel, over and over. In your hotel, you weren't going to like open mics or something and trying to like. Oh, I mean like before the actual thing. Yeah, yeah.

So, yes, I was going to open mics. Jenna, you could have done S&L. No. I think so. You couldn't have? Yes, you can. I can. Oh, yeah.

I can. You can. No. And you won't. No. Okay. Jenna. It's not.

So nice. If you can do prices right, you can do SNL. Yeah. Thank you. What? Wow. My legal name. Oh, Regina.

Regina. Yeah. Did you get called up? No. I really needed it. I did. At the time? Yes.

I was like, yes. I was like, I'll take anything. A washer dryer. leave a car anything no I can't do accents or sing very well

and I can't either I got on one they said it A couple accents I think in this show They said it's a similar thing My name is Tony Google

Oh okay I see I can't even do that I can't You can't do that No Do that right now Hey I ain't My name with Tony

Oh hello my name of Okay Yeah Yeah My name. Yeah, your name is. Only in Google. I just need you there.

You've got to coach me. Yeah. Well, maybe it's a duo. Maybe it is. Can I say something? I'm going to get, I'm, I just want to bring it into this moment. And I just want to say, this is super genuine. I really love you guys.

And you're leaving? No. Okay. No, like, this is a little bit of a pinch me moment for, for me. to sit in between you two. You're so funny. And I look up to you both so much. And like one of my favorite things about where I have ended up in life is that I get to be around funny people all the time.

All the fucking time. And I get to laugh. And just it's like the best thing. Yeah. Like I get to sit here with you in real life. Do you know what a cool thing that is? It's so much better. In any ways.

Yeah, I know what you mean. And we feel the same. We feel the same. You're talking about Fred and Bobby, right? Or is it me and both? Luke, I'm including you. Okay. Luke, you're never going to see these people again.

I just heard of sure. You fucked it up. What do you mean? We might have. No, no, no, no. You fucked it up. This was your way in. I just wanted to clarify what, so I could tune into the conversation.

But it was. But it's mutual and you're right. That feeling of getting to be around funny people, nothing like it. It's my favorite thing about being an actor is being on a set and being around creative people who are, being amazing and funny. It's so great. Well, that's what Nimrod's is.

That's what it is. Yeah, that's exactly what it's. It's the new and the young. And you know what? The young cast in this is so good. And I am rooting for them to all just, like, blow up from this movie, because they all deserve it. Well, they're all in the trajectory of doing so anyway, right?

They are. Yeah, yeah. They're like the hottest young guys. And, you know, you work with them. Yep. Yeah. Mason? Yeah.

You know Mason? Yeah. Mason. You know Messian Times? Uh-huh. What have you in? What's he been in? He's in a new movie that's coming out called Nimrod.

Hey! Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was in something I can't remember. He was in the... How to Train the Dragon. Black Phone. Black phone. Yes.

Yeah. Which is a great horror film. Is this a scene or the trailer? That's, I think the trailer. Oh, cool. Looks really cool. It's cool. Yeah, I'm excited for this.

And the guys were really nice, too. I mean, I love all three of those guys. Yeah. And then that's what I'm talking about. Do you mean Green Day? Are those guys? That was the real question. Actually, who were you talking about?

I don't know. But, Duky and America. Okay. No, Keene Ruffalo. And there's Ignacio. He's great. I love both those guys. Yep, they're great.

Yeah, I'm a keen. There you are. That's amazing. And I don't know if it's because I played the mom in this movie and my house is kind of a hanghouse. when you were a teenager, wasn't there always the house that you went to that house? Wait, what house was you? Are you away or do we come to your house? Did we come to the opposite?

No, we went to David Jacobs' house. Oh, you did? Okay. What house did we go to in your neighborhood? We went to Ellen Grant's house. Oh. The Grants was the hang house. Wow. She was one of six. And so you definitely wanted to hang at Ellen's house because there wasn't possible to keep eyes.

Best Hanley. Right. Because there was a bunch of kids in the family and they get to go in and out whenever they wanted. Right. They didn't know who. was coming and who was going. Oh, so the parents are out of town for so long? Yes. Where are they going?

For how long? Ellen and I would just sneak in and out of her window. Yes. Do whatever we wanted at night. Do the drugs. We didn't do any drugs. Yeah. But we made out with boys.

I know. You did it? Yeah. We made up. Yeah. But then in this movie, Jody is, she's the mom of the hanghouse. And I got very attached to all these boys.

who are actually young men. And so I have this, like, way that I feel still very motherly toward them, and I keep my eye on them, and I'm rooting for all of them. And what was your hair situation? Was that like, because that looks like a real... Okay. So people have asked me if that's a wig. So, Fred, I did this movie two weeks after I had my port removed

after my cancer treatment. So that's my hair. But so I had, so in my, in my cancer journey, I had, I had to do surgery and chemotherapy and radiation. Then I had to do a year of immunotherapy, which is you still get infusions in your port for a year. And Lee had been with me in the house during this whole year. We've talked about this. And this movie is really special to me because as I would sit in one chair in the living room sort of recovering from all of the various procedures, he was sitting in another chair

in the living room working on drafts of this movie. And then just about two months before I was finished, the movie got greenlit, and he had to go to Oklahoma City. So I had to kind of finish out the last couple months of my treatment as like a single mom to my kids and all that. In two weeks, before I shot this movie, I got my port removed. I had just finished the treatment. and I just kind of brought all of that into this character just the the weight of that year I can't imagine and all of that but it was really special because we brought the kids to Oklahoma City my daughter's actually in the movie she plays McKenna Grace's little sister Cassidy in the movie and then my son plays a drummer in McKenna's band in the

movie oh that's fun And they would sit and they watched on the monitors and I'll get a little emotional, but it was really special for me to take the experience of that year and put it into this character. I mean, not that she's been through cancer treatment, but she is a widow, and there's a heaviness to her life as a single parent and all of those things. But for my kids to see me get up out of the chair and walk onto the set and do this movie and watch me on the monitors. It was, it was like, mom's going to be okay. Yeah. Right? You know, it's like, and we will, and we go on.

So it was, it's really special. But yeah, it was, I was nervous to walk on set. I remember meeting with the hair and makeup people and being like, there's not a lot to work with, not a lot of hair. And she was so sweet, and she was like, I got you. And she said, let's brush it all forward. And I love it. love how this woman looks. I love who she is. And yeah, so thank you for asking me about that.

It looks great. It really is the character. It is the character. And I, and there's a part of me that feels like, but for that whole experience, I'm not sure I'm right for this role. Like, pre that experience, I'm not sure I had it. So it was only because of that that I had it to give. And so that That's also like makes it meaningful and special too, you know? Because I mean, that's all you have as an actor is like, I don't know, your imagination and your lived experiences. And there's only so much, I mean, unless you're like one of the greats, there's only so much you can imagine, you know, into a character. Like I just, I pull a lot, me personally as an actor, I pull a lot from my lived experience. And so, yeah, I was grateful to be able to do that here.

Yeah, I mean, for me, the whole experience of seeing you and just being around it all, it's like, I don't know, it was a really special experience during the movie. Also, I feel the love from you guys, too. And that feels good as well. Yeah. Yeah. But I hope everyone watches it August 2014th. August 14th. August 20th.

2014. Go back in time. That's right. Yeah, August 14th. And watching the theaters. Please do. We got to support comedy. Yes, and we have to support movies in general because we want more movies to get made.

And don't pirate it. Yeah, don't pirate it. I'm talking to Napster. Did you see Odyssey? I don't know. Why? We talked about it last week. He said you were going to.

I know. You didn't do it? I... It's a three-hour movie. She has kids. I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it? I went to buy a ticket, and I couldn't...

Like, the 7 a.m. Universal City Walk was sold out. It's tough to get a 70-millimeter ticket. Yeah, and I want to see it. What's the 70-millimeter? Just watch a regular style. I don't think you need it. I don't think you need it.

I can watch it regular stuff. Yeah, that's what I did. There's elevated things. Like, there's Dolby, which is like better sound and better picture and stuff, but I think you generally don't need it. It's just a really good, fun movie. It's well-paced. It doesn't drag.

I didn't feel like you needed 70 millimeter IMAX. Better to see it, in my opinion. I'll see it again. Okay, but first go see Nimrods, everybody. No, watch Nibrods first. Are we talking about the Odyssey? Nolan's fine. Yeah, while you're waiting for your ticket in six months for 70 millimeter IMAX,

Odyssey, go to a movie that... You can't do both at the same time? I think you can. I think you can both watch at the same time. You could do a double feature. You just watch Odyssey while watching this year. I'll see it August 11. for the early screenings.

Thank you very much. Okay, good. Are you going to really watch it? Yeah, how could I not? Support us. Yeah, of course. And I'm a fan of Green Day, and it looks like a great movie.

I love like coming of age movies. And when you do your things at Comics Unleased, I watch that. Come on. Comics A Leash. Really good job on that. Oh, thank you. What a star. I was on NBC.

CBS. That's your thing. ABC? Yeah. Cable. A network. Network. Network. I don't know.

It's called. Network is a stretch. It's on network. It's on network. It's on TV. Yeah. It's called Comics Unleashed. Yeah, they unleashed me, and it was balkers.

And how did you do? Insanely good. It was crazy. Great. Yeah, pull it up. No, no. No, yeah, yeah. Pull it up.

No, yeah. Now, pull it up. I'm being right. Yeah, yeah. I want to show these professional. No, no, no. I want to see these professional to see the shame. No, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Pull it up, please. You guys are very talented comedians. Yeah, yeah. No, you're going to see how, how, what, this power. No, no.

I want to see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, on TV television. Bro. You can't even find it or no? You can't even find it, right? Okay, good, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what's nice about stuff coming out on cable television now for people like me is when you don't do very well, it's impossible to find.

It kind of goes away forever. Oh, everything's like that. It's great. Yeah. Oh, you like it that way? I love it. Because it makes it temporary. It's like a newspaper. Yeah.

You just, so if something's not great, fine. Yeah. Move on. Yeah. And before we go. You lied to Fred earlier. You said you weren't part of a music institution. Bobby was in a band called Lax and Superb, and you played the piano.

Wow. Hey. Liar. You also do music. Bobby. Yeah, I was in a psychedelic. Why? Bobby.

Because it's not the level of yours. You can't look up Laxon Superb and you have the can't. It doesn't show you who's in the band. You're in a band. You're playing keyboard. By the way, I can't play keyboard. Look at that. How long ago?

When is this from? I used to be a band in the late 1980s. but that video's from the late 80s yeah that's the first video ever what is the shot on I know

like alternative oh yeah you played at the I forgot the name I told me there too sorry no I like it nobody asked about my

why my head is shaved I was thinking it but I thought why is your head shaved right now for work for a role well right now I just finished I didn't finish

we have some more to do but I wasn't fishing I wasn't fishing for like asked me about work but I was a little bit like wow no one I just thought it was something you were doing.

Yeah, exactly. Wow. I just thought it was, I thought it was for you personally. Yeah. No. Although I don't mind it. Have you ever done it before and how do you feel about it?

I've done it during my band days. Okay. With the whole band we'd all shave our heads. Uh-huh. But the way I feel about it is I think about it more than other people do. Meaning like, I'm like, I think it's like a big deal. Uh-huh. And then people are like, oh, no, we have our own lives.

Right. So, yeah, you look, I guess your hair looks shorter, but. I was thinking about it kind of a lot, honestly. But that's just me. That's okay. You have a good head shape. I kind of have a good view of it. It's very short.

Yeah. It's good for the summer. But so what's the role where you had to shave your head? That one right there. What? It's that one right there. Yeah. Well, it's good.

It looks good. That's you in Wednesday, right? Yeah. Yeah. We shoot it in Ireland. Is it a new? There's our new Wednesday. You're shooting?

It's like in the next season. That's what you're doing. Yeah. Okay. Big show. Yeah. Huge. But so did you ever at first, like, opt for just a bald cap and then decided to shave it?

I insisted on shaving it. You did. Bald caps are. Well, they take a very long time. Really long time. And they're hard to keep up. Yep. They look.

And it's also they're very stiff. So if you're wearing one, it's hard to, like, move. This was just easier. Yeah. Yeah. Also with a super El Niño heat. That's right. Yeah, we're in a super El Nino.

Yeah, we are. Yeah. And anyone that denying it right now, open your eyes. Who's denying that? People are. People are denying. Yeah. This is just a natural weather pattern.

I've never seen this before. Wait, there was one of those makeup things. Oh, really? In fast motion. Over one. All right. Let's do it again. How many hours is?

How many hours is this? Show up bald, which is very funny. Yeah, you do show. But aren't these funny in general? Yeah, they are. Wow. It'd be funny to do one of these and then just nothing changes. It's just everyone touching your face.

I want to do a live one. That's funny. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we should do one. On a live sketch show, that'd be good. That would be annoying for, is that your camera shooting or is it that? No, I know. Yeah, yeah.

I hate when they do little tricks like that. Yeah, hold on. Okay. And Fred, welcome here. Bobby. Yeah. There we are. Here we go, Fred.

I appreciate that. But, you know, check your fucking ego at the door. Why? For being friendly to you? I shouldn't be friendly. Like a hat. Get in the room. Put it like a hat.

Okay. Put it like a hat. Not right now. Put your hat at the door. It's right there. Yeah, exactly. There's the ego. There's the eagle hat.

And now. I think it would help if I did bigger ego. Because I think you would be able to handle stuff like this. Put the hat back on. I think you're right. I think you're right. Put it back on. I think big egos handled a lot of these opportunities very well.

Oh, my God. Everything you say is annoying. Is that wrong? Is that wrong? It's not right. We don't know what it is. These guys in the comedy store are like, oh, Duggerbelly. And I'm like, oh, what?

you're like making fun of me. I assume that they're making fun of me and shitting on me. All the comments, people yelling at me. No, I'm like, oh God.

Do you have their dormant look at you? Kind of with some side eye? No, they all look down on me forever. I will never be allowed to have a big thing. I get shit on there so much. Yeah, people bully him.

There was a guy, one of my friends I brought to the comedy store. He was like, yo, you and Bobby. I was like, yeah, he slapped you in the face.

And I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot about that. A lot of people, hate you there? I'm like, Honestly, yeah, but like that's kind of...

I never slapped you in the face. That's insane. Okay, cut that out, I guess. No, don't cut it out. Did I do that? Yeah, but it's fine. It was funny. Why would I do that?

I was like... Did you harm me in any way? No, I was like facing the other way, talking to someone and I turned around, then he slapped me in the face. Yeah, but that's what? Arms do. Yeah, yeah. You never flared your arms? No, I'm not holding it against you.

I'm just saying... Lower your ego to understand how... It was like, oh, no! Yeah, yeah. You know, it's a smack in your face. It's an accident. It was a complete accident. Yeah.

And for you to say that it was a purposeless act? I know my purse. Sorry. I can't even speak to that. I'm just taking breath. Yeah. Are you at these people or no? I'm kind of nervous about it.

I think probably the most nervous I've ever been. I think you're nervous. Is it because of Jenna? It's both. Really? Yeah. Fred would vibe. Can we bring?

Jenna and I are closer than Fred. What are you talking about? Can we bring up the candy crush thing? Are you going to bring it? We already brought, we already talked about on hers. Oh, really? Yeah, I could talk about it again. She's never done this.

No, you look, you should ask about it. Okay. Just be like, I heard that you and Bobby had an altercation on it. Yeah, I have that written here. It says, Candy Crush. Great. Prepare for that. I'm going to shoot that right at you.

Confident. Definitely confidence. You won't get physically distressed. Because I'll distress you right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But yeah, I'm pretty low ranking at the comedy store. I think I might be the look. Like, I can't imagine.

You're in the trajectory of, becoming a paid regular there. Thank you. All right, because that's our goal. Thank you. And when the Tiger Belly team sets out a goal, we make it happen. Look at Rick Glassman. Are they here?

I appreciate that. That's true. Rick Glassman. I'm going to get them.
