Yeah, welcome to Drinking Bros, kids. Get it together boys, what's going on over here? Friday nights, Atlanta, Georgia, the night before Clemson, UGA. Clean Crawford joins us today, how are you sir? Good, good, thanks for having me. Yeah, tell me, you're like on a high level in this condo, and there's a fucking grasshopper out on the ledge. How is that possible? Here's the thing, I actually had a conversation with my wife, to where I left, she brought out some watermelon from the garden, because I'm, you know, two hours from my farm, being here in Atlanta. So she brings out and I was like, oh, it'll be fine, there's no bugs up here. The next night, there's a three inch grasshopper out on the railing, do you think it was the watermelon? No, no correlation. More of me making a point that there's no insects, and then the universe goes, yeah, there is. Well, maybe she brought him here too. Oh, well. To make you feel more at home, she's worried you would not. Okay. So I brought some wild animals and said, hey, I know you're shooting a fancy TV show for Hulu right now. I know they're going to put you up in a high rise in Midtown. And guess what? Here's the country coming at you. Right in your face. Yeah, you may want to check your boots for snakes, bud. Look, if if if Hicks, my youngest would have headed his way, he would have brought chickens and goats with us, right? It's not enough to bring like they've got the jams in the fridge. No way brings out the honey, the eggs, the whole deal, but yeah, they definitely try to make me feel comfortable. Yeah. I bet, dude. Look at this place. I mean, we're looking over the goddamn governor's mansion here. You're shooting Chad powers for Hulu, Glen Powell, Steve Zahn is in it. That's right. It is about the sketch that Eli Manning shot what year and a half ago for ESPN, right? We went back to college as an old guy and just kind of started whipping the ball around. Hind State University, right? Yeah. Yeah. Massive sketch. You went viral and then holy shit, Manning brothers are producing it. And then he got arguably the biggest movie star on the planet right now. Glen Powell playing the Eli Manning character, this fucking rock. It's a whole new world, man, where a guy who's peeking in his film career is jumping back in to do TV streaming right now. I mean, that's not something you would have seen back in the day. I just think it goes to that there are no boundaries anymore, right? So it's also exciting that Glen really enjoys the comedy. So we kind of all were introduced in with Top Gun. But then you kind of see what he's, the things that he's writing and him doing the hitman with Link Letter and for him to kind of take the rights to, which I would have never thought that there was a show here, but what he's been able to develop is it's pretty smart, man. And all our producers loved him and everybody wants some, like Glen, for years and years and years. And it's one of those things where shit, he's been banging around for 15 years. And then boom, Top Gun finally hits. We had Miles Teller on the show promoting a military movie. Remember the name of that movie? Oh, no. I know. It didn't do well. I love you, Miles. Miles is awesome. He's great. He's been in so many good movies that just never get to go. Are you talking about war dogs? No. That was great. Yeah. That was great. Was it thank you for my service? It might have been called thank you for my service. Oh, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, thank you for your service. I'm sorry. That was the name of our book. But anyways, with that, like for real, and we talked about this in the show, with Miles, he was like, "Dude, I feel like I'm doing amazing work and nobody's going to see this shit." That boxing movie was really good too. It was good. You know, it was good. Please, it's paralyzed or whatever the fuck? Bleed for this. Yeah. It was a true story. Really he could have been nominated for an Oscar for that because I love that film. And he goes, "So do I? I'm not sure what's happening and everything else." And I was like, you know, standing under the show shit, you've been on a million times where it's like, "What else you got coming out next?" And he goes, "Top Gun 2." And I go, "How was that?" And he goes, "I don't know." Because we shot it before COVID. Weren't really sure what was going to end up in the film, what wasn't going to end up in the film. This is a wild story. He goes to, the trailer goes to Comic Con. He's not in it. So he goes, "I have no idea what the fuck is going to happen with this. If I'm going to even be in the movie and everything else." Obviously, you know, hindsight is 2020 and we've seen it out. He's Goose's son. He's the lead opposite Tom Cruise for Christ's sakes and even he didn't know. And COVID kicks in, boom, the movie gets pushed. Tom Cruise says, "I want this out in theaters." Boom, it gets pushed again. A push for a third time. And it finally hit what may of '22, I think, right? Almost three years later after they shot the film and then, boom, not only is Miles a huge movie star, but then there's this guy who kind of looks like Iceman and good-looking and it's Glenn. And at the time, Glenn was only known as Hangman. So like, he would go in these circles and everybody had seen "Top Gun 2." And it was like, "Zhangman, this is Hangman, this is Hangman." And I was like, "No, no, no, this is Glenn Powell. He rocks and he's fucking rad and it's awesome and everything else." Well, what's amazing is that he both had almost been talked into the roles, right? Glint said that he passed because apparently he read for Rooster initially, right? So they were all coming in for that role, you know? And when he didn't get it and they offered him the other character he had passed. So apparently Tom Cruise called him up and talked to him so like, "Hey man, why are you saying no to this?" He was like, "Well, you know, the choices, I'm going to be a movie star." And he's like, "Well, why do you think I got where I am today?" And he's like, "Well, you know, you chose great films, you know, and great characters." He goes, "But it's just a matter of being in great films." And he basically paid for his flight school, but I guess the same thing happened to Miles as well, right? They had to kind of fly out to Florida where he was and kind of talk him into doing this film because I think they both had, they were a little apprehensive because they just weren't just kind of sure what the direction was going to be. It's tough to remake something and kind of get away with it, right? It worked. 40 years later. Yeah. Not many have gotten, I mean, even the Beverly Hills comp didn't do. Yeah. I mean, for them to put it on Netflix and not kind of do a theatrical, and I haven't seen it yet. So I did. And it was, here's my honest thought on it. It was the best that it could be for everybody's age and everything else because they really brought everybody back. When I say everybody, I mean everybody. Like, even the old chief where you're like, "Oh shit, I thought you were dead." Yeah. So Ryan Holt is in his mid-60s. Judge Ryan Holt, yes. The other guy, Cameron's name, but he's in his early 70s. Yes. And you're not, like, I don't want to spoil her alert for life. They're in those 70-year-old cops. It's not a thing. Like, in case you didn't already know that, there's no 70-year-olds. Goose told me, he goes, "Look, man, Goose and Watson, they call you, you got to watch this thing. It's on Netflix." And I was like, "Okay." They go, "It scratches every itch." Like, all of the things that you want, it hits it. And that's great. But what Top Gun did, like that rocked us. I got us all back into the theaters. Well, there's a lot of apprehension around taking a beloved film from our childhood and doing it again or sequiling it because it could go really wrong, like Ghostbusters, for example. It's been over the weekend with the remake of the Brandon Lee movie. Oh, the girl? Yeah. They didn't even promote that thing. I didn't even know that it came out until I was looking for a theater for us to go watch something in town with the kids because it was raining and it was like, "Oh, wait a minute. That film was..." But again, it goes back to Glenn, the kid does twister, blows up. Right. And that's another one, right? That's, it is very dangerous to take that role because of how beloved that movie was. That's right. They knocked it out of the fucking part. My kids loved it. I've seen it twice. It's really good. It's like a modern take on, they did everything exactly the way they should. It was great and, and IMAX and all that stuff. It was fun. They updated it. So it was a YouTuber doing it, chasing tornadoes and everything. But he was still called hangman. And I don't know if you know this, but at the last premiere for the hitman, he shows up with his parents on the red carpet and his parents pull out a cardboard sign next to him on the red carpet and say, that says, "Please stop trying to make Glenn Powell happen." And it was the funniest thing of all time and it was his mom and dad who did it. And, and it was awesome because even now, I feel like twister finally did it where he broke through. And I said this on "RossPodge for Revolution." And I was like, twister finally did it where it was like that, that guy's a household name and everything else. Now we can green light projects like the one you're doing and everything else. But it took a long time for him and it was truthfully cool to see. You get this call out of the middle of nowhere to come and do this. What was the last thing that Steve, Steve's on is in this. What was the last thing that he did? I don't know, but you know, I'm, I'm a huge Steve's on fan of the name. The last thing I really remember him from was like David Loto's. Oh, he won the end for that guy, damn dude, I forgot about it. Like it was one of those things where, yeah. I mean, you know, for, again, he's such a good actor. Suburbia was like one of the films that I watched that in him and Giovanni Robisi and those guys. Everyone was just so incredible in that, in that film. And that was one of the movies that made me want to kind of get into acting. And then the film he did with Christian Bell, the one or her song film. Why? Oh, yeah. Yeah. The Empire of the Sun. No, not Empire of the Sun. The Little Boy. No. It's- We've been drinking hard AF Seltzer here. We brought back from Illinois last night. Yeah. Smokin' weed. Do we have someone who can pull that up for us? Bob's not here. It's the one or her song directed. It's Steve's on Christian Bell. Dan will pull it up here. Bob's not here with us in your high rise tonight, right? Right. But I was just speaking like- Oh, you mean the Vietnam movie? Rescue Dawn? Rescue Dawn. Yeah. It was like, aren't they like- Dude. Pilots got shot down. Remember? In their POWs? There's a scene where they're all having the conversation about what's in your refrigerator, right? Because they're being starved to death, right? They have no food. And they're kind of going through what they all have in their fridge as they're fantasizing about food. And Steve's on in that scene is just so absolutely incredible, man. He's awesome. He's one of my favorites of all time. And it's been an ongoing joke because Jesse, my wife, goes, dude, if you meet Steve's on, like, that's the celebrity pass, you know, and I was like, cool. Oh, wow. So we're not doing that. And she's always loves Steve's on, but he didn't do work for a lot of years, and then he just showed up in the middle of, like, Us Weekly and in the middle of town wearing, like, a Civil War uniform and you're in Kentucky, and you're like, okay, cool. North or South? No, I can't remember which. You know, I remember him using Tremé, and he was great in that. And that's the same guy as from the Wire, right? Yeah, yeah. And he would just do films here and there. I mean, he lives in Kentucky, and he's just a wonderful, lovely human being who raised a family, and he's just someone who is not affected by the industry, which, again, these guys, so I met the creators of this show. They called me in 2018. They were getting ready to make a show called Heels that was going to be on stars, and it was about amateur wrestling. They were like, you know, we'd love for you to kind of come and do this, and again, it was right after I had gone through that situation with Lethal Weapon. So the studio was like, no, we're not going to hire this guy. So they were like, fuck man, you know, we just really love to work with you again. And he goes on to do Loki, and then he gets Chad Powers, and he was like, you know, I'd love for you to kind of do this thing, and they fought for me and made it kind of, made it work. And, you know, having Glenn, who is, again, just a really good dude, Steve, and what's amazing is that everyone's straight up sports fans, right? You see Glenn on the sidelines at A&M games, I'm going to say UT Games, and Steve is at Kentucky Games, and everyone here loves the sport, so when you get on set, there's just an enthusiasm that we're all out there kind of involved in this game. Right. Yeah, it's really great. Yeah, and you're out there on, we were talking about it earlier, you're out there on Turf, and it's a hot one. It's about 104 here. People's shoes are fucking melting. Look, the guy, yeah, so they were taking the temperature of the Astro Turf in a laser thing. Yeah, right. And 174. God damn. Yeah. So, I'm walking around and I was like, my, like, the souls of my, and I'm barefoot 90% of the time when I'm at home, you know, I'm in hippie trying to connect with the earth and everything. And, and, and I get here and I'm in these sneakers, these brand new sneakers and, and my feet are literally feeling like they're blistering and, and I was talking to the medic, I go, Hey, you having any band aids or, you know, I've got some like blisters on the back of my feet. He's like, Yeah, he goes, we just tested the floor 174, man. And I was like, Holy crap. Wow, dude. Yeah. It's like it's hot, but it's also, again, man, we've got these incredible athletes running routes. I'm out there with a whistle and dip and glasses and it's just, it's fantastic. Oh, you're dipping. Are you going zenza? Or what's going on? No. You and I used to dip back in the day, dude. I dipped a lot back in the day. Yeah. Same. I'm very baseball. Yeah. And even, and even when, you know, look, I have a farm, right? So when you're bailing hay, you know, or you're cutting or fluffing, you know, you're on a tractor and you're there for like eight hours, you throw up a little bandit pack. Hey, this is an after school special. Well, I'm just trying to say, what do you want? What I'm going, what I'm talking about, it's been a process for Dan. It's been a process, no, but not with America before I tell what I am actually fucking doing. I'm trying to set the stage for how much I love tobacco and how challenging it was to let it go. Sure. And when this role came, I had to really have a conversation with myself and I said, you know, Crawford, what are you going to? What are you going to do? You going to go back to the worm dirt? You know, you're going to, you're going to, you're going to devil in the fucking devil's lettuce. What's happening? And I, I went with licorice pieces. Okay. So, uh, really? No. Tractor supply, uh, sells these little licorice sticks and I take them and cut them with my pocket knife there and I put a little piece in and it's black. Looks, yeah. Looks real. Right. I got, I got my Mountain Dew bottle with a label pulled off and a paper towel shoved down in there. Right here. Only now I've put a little coffee grounds. Yeah, that works. Okay. A little bit of water. So, uh, you know, you dialed in people, people will think people's going to think that I'm doing the real deal and here I am giving out my secrets. But if I wanted to stay married, uh, I could not start dipping again. And she, cause I know your wife obviously for, for years and years now, would she be pissed off about tobacco? Yeah. Have you ever given the old move where you slide your dip into her mouth during the kiss? That's West Virginia, right? That's West Virginia. West Virginia. Cause to be honest, you might, you might catch one would come in the other way too. I was at the University of West Virginia at a college game. I saw that a, uh, a chick took it out of her boyfriend's mouth and put it in, I mean, she beaver dipped it too. And I was like, oh, well, you know, you know, now in Sweden, it's with the Zen. And all the girls are going top lip with zens and sweet. They're not smoking. Oh, yeah. Top lip. Yeah. Top lip. Zens. You're welcome. Yeah. Would she be pissed off about it? 100% should be pissed off about it. So it's not even an option. And I don't want to try the zens because I know that I'm going to love it. Yeah, you will. Yeah. Great. So I'm not going to. I'm just not going to do it. Oh, I'm going to do it. Oh, I'm going to do it. Oh, I'm going to do it. I mean, it's a vasoconstrictor, right? Yeah. Which technically over time would make your blood vessels smaller. But if you use vasodilators like gas station dick pills, for example, you'll be just fine. Life is about balance. My friend thing. I wake up wanting to punch people in the face and run as fast as I can. So the last thing I need is caffeine or a zip, you know what I mean? I'm working to meditate and slow down the mechanism and try to find Zen in life. It's the last. What's the last tobacco? I know mine. The last tobacco. Oh, menthol. Anything. No, cigarette or dip. When was it? Do you remember when it was when it was sometime when you were blacked out probably the last time any of us use tobacco is when we were fucked up. Yes, I would say 2017 was the last time I had a menthol cigarette 2020 is the last time I had a nice cigarette, a full cigarette and it was it was the post Malone incident when I beat him in a buck naked beer pond. Yeah, 120 grand. Yeah, I did. I won $20,000 and deposited my my account in three hours and it was great, but it was a point where it because Jesse was with me my wife and I looked back at her and she's a dirt bag who still smokes occasionally, right? She rules. She's like Kiki. She rules and jewels. She's like your wife. Oh, no, she's done. Stop. She'll go behind the barn. She's not even too late. I'm talking now doesn't even drink anymore just for the record doesn't even want to smell it. Isn't interested. Really? Yeah. So I looked back at Jesse and I go, Hey, post is often a cigarette. He's smelting and she goes, I will fuck it. Smelk, right? So it was one of those things where full disclosure I was like, all right, it's post Malone. I'll have a fucking cigarette with post Malone and that'll be my first time back in like 10 years. So that was my first cigarette in 10 years. Now on the dip side, this is a little bit of a darker story, dude. So I was trying to give up dip because I was going hard back in the day in college and all that other shit, right? It was the 96 World Series. Do you remember that one? Yankees. Yes. We're up 2-0. So I was at that game. Yeah. I think Andrew Jones had two home runs again. Did you say 96? Correct. It was Les Ritz, Jim Les Ritz hit the fucking dinger to do it. I was dipping in that game and I was, I was with my parents. Yeah. One of my best friends from college and I was just like, and I go, Hey dude, like, you know, and my mom was like, yeah, it's the World Series. Who cares? They were cool about it, but we lost. And then that game triggered the loss of the World Series and I was like, I won't dip again. So I haven't had dip since. And I was in and black buffalo and all that other stuff, like, cool man, here and there where it's like, all right, I can get back into it, but the last time somebody asked me to put a full Eagle Claw fucking gnaw in dude, I, I did it out of, uh, it was a college kid who would, it would pop in. See a live show. Oh man. You don't fucking party. I was like, fuck you, dude. I fucking party. What do you have, dude? I'll, I'll drink y'all small. I'll do all the things like all the, what, fuck you? You know, I was pissed off about it and he, he pulled it out and go, it's just that, you know, that fucking, you know, that next finger on the can and I was like, roll it up. Let's go and get that worm dirt. I put that thing in and I felt like I was going to throw up all over the floor myself and everybody else. And I was like, ah shit, it's just past my time now. Like I just can't do it anymore. I mean, like dip for, yeah, that was loose, like, um, skull, long cut, winter green. That was probably 2010. Kodiak was mine. Kodiak winter green was my fucking shampoo. Kane would have those fucking bandit packets. Okay. Right. So I'd get on set with his ass and I'm like, what's wrong with your lip? Like your upper. And he's like, oh, I got, I got a pack up there and I'm like, oh, well, then give me the can, right? Yeah. And that's the, that's the thing, right? And then you stow it in there and you get that little burn and so yeah, it was a minute to get over all that man. So yeah, licorice is the way we go these days. Yeah. Makes sense. It makes sense. It passes you by. Like I know I'm going to have cavities. So you think so? I don't know. I use, you know, you'd have lip cancer otherwise. So who gives a shit? A relative. Yeah. That's amazing. You know, what are you going to do? Yeah. I'm going to do cavities versus. Well, he did say he goes, look, you know, we do have these little packets that are just basically like green tea. Yeah. You just get a little bit of caffeine. But again, one who is immediately, my feet hit the floor and I'm ready to go in the morning. Black Buffalo. I can't do. Yeah. Black Buffalo will be good. So black Buffalo actually make, we should hook you guys up with them because they make one, one of their blends is called ritual and it just tastes like tobacco, but there's no nicotine or tobacco in it. It's that, it's that green tea leaf. Yeah. Black Buffalo is the name of the company. No, it's not green tea leaf. It's not the kind of cabbage or some shit. Like, not the kind you eat. It's some other variety of cabbage that you don't eat, but it's super thick and all natural. Yeah. All natural. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And it's got, they have different flavors in it and shit like that, but it looks like, it looks like long cut and just, well, you know, look, I'm the one, and that's what it's made for to like get you off the real shit. I was the one who picked out the black jelly beans and to eat, I didn't like the other flavors. I only liked the black jelly beans. Really? Yeah. You were the dirt pack, dude. I guess, right? No one, everyone's like, eh, I don't want the black ones, and I was always like secretly with this one. Right. Now, yeah. If it's real, look where it's good. If it's real, look where it's good. If it's made from, it's delicious, it's real, it's good. But if it's, if it's like some like chemical, I can't do that, but I like ginger beer. I like real beer. Yeah. I like, I like ginger root. I, so yeah, I was the dirty, I love the black jelly beans. Yeah. For me, I'm like, the dirt pack, dude. I'm like, let's roll with it. I mean, I kind of like it. Yeah. Yeah. If you had to guess what I was doing the last time I smoked a cigarette, what would you guess? Killing people. No. But close. What? What, dude? I mean, the time before that would have been yes. Okay. Uh, I'll go with softball. No. Sex. Oh. No. Really? The most obvious answer is a chocaine motherfucker. Why are you not even thinking about that? So cocaine doesn't make me want to smoke. I just, I don't want to smoke cigarettes on coke. All right. Well, you know, not always, but if I'm doing action or something like that, short, like menthol cigarettes and everything else. And that's fun. The only time I really ever smoked though was in the army, because there's nothing else to do. You're always sitting around waiting for some shit to happen. You got to do something. Yeah. That's what happened was set. Yeah. It sucks, man. When you're on, when you're an actor, you sit around, you do nothing and, and back in the day before it was, you know, politically incorrect, everyone smokes cigarettes. There were no smartphones. Yeah. It's hard for the, for somebody that wasn't in one of those jobs, like being on set or being on the military or something like that, to work a 16 hour day, but only do two actual hours of work. Right. It's fucking maddening. You have to do something like infantry dudes, we just start throwing rocks and pine cones at each other and fighting. That's what we do. But you can't do that. You can't do that. You can't fight on set. But we do take buckets and start trying to throw rocks into them. We do create these ridiculous games just because the days go by. So slow, man. And for me, when I, when you start doing regular jobs, where you're working, you know, 75 hours a week and then you're like, wait a minute, I'm smoking a pack and a half a day. Mm hmm. And that's when I was like, okay, this isn't something that I'm just doing when I drinking or I'm just doing when I'm, when I'm on set, it's something that I'm doing all day every day. And I was like, all right, I gotta cut that out or. Yeah. At least you're the kid. Dude, like being in the military is, you know, with, with acting. Yeah, dude, you're lucky to shoot, I don't know, seven minutes a day, film wise, tops, which is like an hour and a half of footage, maybe. That's it. So you're sitting there for 12 hours and then all of us are sitting on the stoops of our trailer, smoking a pack and a half every day and everybody's smoking. I don't give a fuck. Like this is audio on my tonight, because we're going old school, getting fucked up. I don't give a fuck who you are. Your favorite movie actress out there. In the '80s, she was smoking. Like a motherfucker. Yeah. And over and over and over again. It didn't really start getting clawed back until the mid 2000s, really. Like really, that's what it kind of started to take a while. They isolated, they started putting the metal buckets. The metal bucket was sand in it 50 yards away from the zag. Yeah. So it was such a process to get over there, smoke a cigarette and to get back that people finally said forget it. And then they start going to the vaping pens, right? Correct. It's just worse. It's all bad for you, whatever. But shit, to your point, towards the end, here's how bad it was on like the Disney lot, you would have to hire this fire marshal who was like 80 years old, literally 80 years old. And he would sit there and I was like, why the fuck do I have to hire this guy? And they were like, well, you got 110 people in your crew, they're going to be smoking cigarettes. And I was like, uh-huh, somebody's going to make sure they put it out in the bucket and everything else. So I'm paying you $1,200, I used to pay this 80 year old man $1,200 a day for Screen Actors Guild to watch people smoke and make sure they put it out so it didn't burn up the rest of the sets. Do you think that was his kink or something? But again, he's like fucking going home at the end of the day and he's just fucking rubbing one out. I love watching people smoke, but this is why we do not make movies in the state of California anymore because of all of the ridiculous regulations that are designed to put money in people's pockets, right, to generate jobs. And what it does is it just hinders, it's already challenging to make a film. Now you're going to put these restrictions on us and say that we have to fire, we have to hire all of these individuals. Get real. Sounded off of libertarian over there, buddy. Hey, look, the proof is in the pudding, right? There's two productions in the city of Los Angeles right now and we're in Atlanta, which is where everything is, because you just come. Yeah. Again, it's tough enough to make a film. You cannot have those types of restrictions. Do you know what happened to the 80 year old guy, by the way, is a true story. So up in Santa Clarita, where the Disney ranches and all that other stuff, he was working on a job and the whole goddamn place caught on fire, all of it. And so not only did you have to pay the 80 year old man $1,200 a day to be there, then you had to have this water tank that was there and that cost $3,000 a day. For a non-potable water tank, $3,000 a day, $3,000 a day, and they would fill it up with a hose right out back 100% and so I said, hey, what is this for and what do I need it for? And they were like, in case there's a fire and I go, but I got the 80 year old man. I'm good. Do you not trust him? Because I'm paying him $1,200 a day and they're like, what happens if there's an actual fire? You're going to need water. You give them an inch, they'll take a mile, that's what that is. Totally. I would have had a wet t-shirt contest every fucking day. Oh, here's where this gets better. Every day. So for $3,000 a day, I'm getting to see some teddies or something happening. One day, and you can look, you can look at the story up online, one day, set burns down. There's an actual fire, 80 year old man is there, hey bro, we need you to put this out. Shit, I don't think I can, I don't really know how to, this is really coming down and everything else. And they were like, well, we got the water tank, use the water tank. They go and plug it in empty. It turned out for 15 years they've been selling these empty water tanks for $3,000 a day on the set, $30 million set burned down up there. They shot dead wood, like all your favorite westerns, all that other stuff up there. All of it burned to the fucking ground, because the water tanks were empty. The 80 year old man didn't know how to do any fucking thing. And it was all just a fucking scam for years and years and years. Well, now that's why productions in Atlanta right now. Now all of a sudden Alec Volvins doesn't seem so bad. Right. And he's back. Yeah, he's back. Again, it's like with these incentives, I just shot up in Minnesota and we're getting ready to take another film up there. And you did well, maybe in Massachusetts too. But two years ago? Yeah, I did one in Massachusetts, you know, and Minnesota has this incredible tax incentive where they have these incentives and what's the, you know, kind of talked about earlier, the iron range, right? Yeah. Which is where you are still kind of set up in the Chisholm and Hibbing area and started mining or a lot of the jobs have kind of been lost. So now they're trying to bring industry up there and these towns are just. So for instance in Hibbing, which is where Bob Dylan graduated high school, it's the most expensive high school still to date that's ever been built. So their, their theater is built at all with like local shit. It was all built locally, but it was built by the Rockefellers and the Carnegie's, right? So the high school auditorium was mirrored after Carnegie Hall. So it actually has all like the, the gold inlay and it's just absolutely gorgeous. And literally you're in the middle of nowhere in Minnesota, like two hours south of the Canadian border, but it was because they were generating all these incredible jobs and they were bringing all this industry up there. So they were incredible, they were these families that, I mean, dude, the local library in this little town of Buell is literally one of the most beautiful libraries ever seen in life. So anyway, so they've created these tax incentives up there and it's, you know, you get like 75% to go make a film and you go up there and you have law enforcement who are like, when you ask them, Hey, you know, what do we do if we want to shut down a street? It's like, Oh, well, you know, the, the cones are in the office there and you just put the cones out in the middle of the road down when you're done, just put them up. And it's like, if you go to L.A. to shoot a film in the middle of the street, you're taking hundreds of thousands of dollars, just in more permits. You haven't hired your crew yet. You have a broad equipment in. It's just, it becomes a nightmare. So yeah, you know, production is going elsewhere and it's just sad for where Hollywood, what it used to be. Yeah, I know. Right. I mean, then some asshole shows up the day of and he's like, Oh, actually that's not the right permit for this. You're like, Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to burn the city to the ground dude over and over. Yeah. Over and over. It's just sad because Hollywood has had this, this, it was such an icon for so long and you see the letters up on the hill. And for me, it's just, it's heartbreaking that it, you know, it's just not there anymore. Well, I don't know. I also like being on the East Coast, but yeah, it's sad that it's not there. It's, I mean, it's a beautiful stay to you and they're kind of fucking up the only thing that makes it worth going to you. Yeah. But there was a magic to it where it was all shot there. You had to be there no matter what. And even coming out of NYU was like, Hey, you got to go to LA unless you do soap operas or commercials. You got to go to a lot of them real quick going back to what you were saying, your Jerry O'Connell story. Oh, at NYU? Yeah. That encompasses all of it. Right. That is all just a bunch of bullshit. Yes. Yeah. Right. And then for the listeners at home who don't know that story, if you're just listening now, to do a film with Jerry O'Connell, he also went to NYU. And one of the classes that I hated was film history at NYU. And it was every Friday, it was at one o'clock and that it was a waste of time. And you would go and watch these films. The professor would tell you why they shot it, what was the foreshadowing for all the scenes and everything else and blah, blah, blah, blah, go and do my first lead in the movie and everything else. And I'm with Jerry and he goes, Hey, dude, where'd you, where'd you come from? I was like, Oh, just get that in. Why you? Oh shit. It's the same program, everything else. And I was like, awesome man. And I go, what'd you think about it? And he goes, man, it was awesome and it was really helpful except for film history. And then he tells the story of stand by me. So they're watching stand by me. He was the fat kid and still by me. And then, you know, he grows up and he's shredded and good looking and all that stuff. And they're there. That was one of the movies for that Friday. You know, you see the rain and everything and this is foreshadowing what they're going through to look for the dead body and all this other stuff. And Jerry just raised his hand and he goes, no, no, that's, it was just raining for like 14 days. Like we eventually just had to get the scene, like there's nothing you can do about it. And I was like, Oh, but you were the thing and the thing. And it was like, no, it didn't happen. And that's the, that's the wild part about it. Like I watched Miles Teller, we'll go back to Miles Teller, I watched the offer. They did a series on Paramount's. It was really good. It was really good. It was about the making of the Godfather. And everything we knew about making the Godfather, they broke down and it was just like, Oh, okay, cool man. You barely got this movie made and all of it was bullshit. All these crazy stories are bullshit and like, you're like, Oh, okay, cool. I mean, it was like the car exploding in Italy, Michael's first wife or whatever the Italian would get blown up almost fucking cratered the entire thing. And they had. They were operating. They were so much dynamited. Yeah. And they had one space. Fucking, I mean, it was bad, dude, like if they were on such a shoestring that any fuck up was going to kill the movie, it's like, we're talking about one of the most classic movies of all time. We're the greatest films of all time. And that's what it is. And like, even shit, I'll go back to, I don't know what your, your favorite movie is in the last 10 years, 15 years, I don't mind it. It's Wolf of Wall Street. Wolf of Wall Street is one of my favorites, one of my buddies from college produced it. I got to go to set. I got to go to the pre-parties and all that other shit. And like, because of floods in a hurricane that was going on in New York City, like different scenes were rushed and everything else, and it's never what you think it is. And whatever you end up seeing on the screen at the end of the day is all anybody really gives a shit about. I don't need to sit in a class and then you tell me why you think it was done because it's never the real story at the end of the day, like, it's whether something else is going on. And I'm sure you're going through that right now in Atlanta where you're like, all right, great. We have X amount of days. It's hot as fuck. We got to do this. And then we got to get out of here for somebody else's schedule and all this other stuff. Like, you make the best that you can within that time period. I still believe in the fact that a deadline still means something to where you're forced into creativity, and it puts everybody on a heightened level and you're able to get great shit. Necessity is the mother of invention. Yes. And so that I love. When somebody else is on a different schedule, it does force everybody to be great in a certain amount of time, and it brings the best out in everybody. But for you personally doing a comedy like this, let's face it, besides tires on Netflix, there's not a lot of comedies being made. What's it like in your opinion doing a comedy right now? I mean, look, for me, it's my first comedy. So I'm just super excited to have the opportunity, but I just feel that we, as you said, there's not a lot out there, you know, beef in the bear are kind of considered comedies. Bear's not a comedy. Right. I mean, they're just-- You're just not a comedy either. It's half our format, right? Even flea bag, right? You know, it's-- And by the way, love all those shows. Love all of them. With their dramas. And I feel like this is definitely more comedy. And look, I think with especially the political landscape, I think we need to laugh more than ever and that we want a true escape. I mean, making fun of each other is kind of how you, like, the closer two dudes are together, the more they roast each other. Yeah. And that's a lesson for society. It isn't about just roasting each other. It's about breaking down all these barriers that exist between one human being's idea themselves they're ego and somebody else's ego and being like, you know what, we're just two fucking meat sacks here. Let's have some fun. Well, we also understand, like, in a locker room that there's a different level when you're competitive athletes, right, the shit that you take out of one another, and what's amazing is these guys have not pulled any punches with this material. And I think we've seen it in comedy. We were all having this conversation at dinner earlier tonight where comedy is in a place now to where the pendulum swung so far in one direction that comedians said, fuck it, I'm pulling the brakes completely off. And if you're coming to watch my show, then you're going to just be able to laugh at yourself and understand that we all need to have a moment to look at, to look in the mirror and just laugh, right, that we can't take so much so serious. And for me, I think that they've kind of, that's what we're doing with this show. And also the fact that it's about college football, I mean, we're all, we're seeing how the numbers are reflecting the enthusiasm that's happening within the college football world. You know, everyone's like, in a sports in general, sports in general, for sure, but especially college football. You know, everyone's like, NIL is going to change the game. I think it's changed it in the positive. I mean, we've had conversations earlier to where, you know, college basketball is more exciting because kids aren't leaving on the one and done. You're able to build programs, you know, and I think to have a show that revolves around sports and humor, it's just exciting. And then to have the talent that we do and, and again, I was talking about these creators, they're just, they're smart guys and to have Disney in 20th century behind them. And, you know, Hulu, it just, and the manning got, you know, the manning brothers, who are all pretty funny in their own right now, and Peyton and Eli, both are smart guys. And you don't. That's funny as shit. I didn't watch the manning cast on Monday night football. I only watched the manning cast, right. And they're so smart. You know that they don't put their names just on anything. So when I saw that these guys were attached, just again, everyone attached, like going back to your point, Dan, you know, about Glenn to do, you know, this guy's a movie star right now. He's having his moment and to say, hey, I'm going to go do this and I'm going to do it the right way. And they really are. It's a joy to be a part of and, and for me to kind of, this is my step back and I haven't done TV in six years, you know, and when I read this material, I just knew that even if I was going to be the water boy, I just wanted to be a part of it, right?

Cheers to bio protein tech dot com and in comedies heading back towards what it used to be. And in particular words, words matter, but it depends on how you're using them and for what. Like there was a listener hit me up and was like, Hey man, why do you guys use the word retard all the time? And it was just like, Hey, because we're making fun of each other and that's it, right? There is no negative connotation to Michael Scott said it best on the office, right? You don't call a retarded person retard, you call your friends retard when they're acting retarded. Yes. Like it's a very simple thing. Like context matters, none of this stuff is a minute to be taken seriously. No, God damn it. We were, look at us for Christ's sake. Like I know we have some serious conversations, heart to hearts from time to time, but we're a bunch of fucking dumb dums, man. Yeah. Just trying to fucking make people giggle and have fun. And I think that, you know, the majority of us have just really big hearts and we want to do the right thing and we struggle to, to be good kids. We struggle then to be good parents and, and to be role models in our, in our communities. And I don't, there's obviously, no, it's not this malicious, right? And I think we, we just all have to be able to laugh at ourselves and the, in the world because, you know, as I say, sometimes you got to laugh to keep from crying, right? Yeah. And I think that's what Hollywood really fucked up. Like you can fuck with drama all you want, but you can't fuck with comedy because that is the, the pressure valve for society. That's where we fucking let the steam off a little bit, because if we don't let it off by laughing, we let it off by fighting. That's a great analogy. Every single goddamn avenue of your life, personal, professional, political, all turns into a fucking fight if you're not laughing every single time and why, like, and then look at what the third, second, third order effects for Hollywood specifically have been. It used to be that if you wanted to be an actor in any capacity, and especially if you're on the comedy side, if you're a comedian, even if you want to be a serious actor, you had to go to New York or L.A. You had to. Now you don't. No, you can go to Instagram. Now you go anywhere to fucking want to go to Instagram, you can move to Austin. You know what I mean? Like, it's, they, they had, and not, not in a bad way either. I don't think it was bad that, that L.A. especially had a stranglehold on that pipeline to a large degree. It was good because everybody goes out there in the same spot, pilot season happens. You get to discover new talent, all this stuff, right? You have an infrastructure for all these things that happen, and they fucked it up. They fucked it up. Well, now we just have different barometers, you know, as opposed to having one, we're able to kind of see, okay, well, this guy can maybe be pushed out of this, of this, this world, but he, you can see that he's accepted by the people through social media. And I think that's kind of changed the dynamic of the landscape, right? There's a lot more modalities now, for sure. Yeah, and you and I were talking about this the other night, where if we would just have stuck to YouTube in 2006, we'd be the richest people and most famous on the planet, but none of us knew, nobody knew, and then, you know, to that point, because we were watching street guns earlier, like a, the crazy plane lady, we were looking at that episode, right? That's just a woman who was on a flight who had a fucked up day, and now she's famous around the world for nothing. You know what it is, though? It's George Costanza being on Seinfeld. That used to be, not George Costanza, excuse me, George Steinbrenner being on Seinfeld. That used to be the cameo, the cameo used to be Trump, or Steinbrenner, or somebody like that, an athlete, or somebody like that, and they would pop in on something and blah, blah, blah. Now your, your, the typical cameo that you see these days is somebody that got famous for some weird ass reason. Talk to a, I mean, holy shit. That's just the world we live in now. Yeah. And that's all they care about. So like even in Hollywood, these people are getting agents, Chewbacca mom and all this other shit where you're just like, what the fuck is Chewbacca mom? Chewbacca mom was the lady who put the mask on it was a talking Chewbacca face. You're dying laughing right now, but I, this is, look, I, here's the, I've never heard of this. Look, I, I, I, 60 million views she got, I don't know where, and I, and I don't think anyone knows where entertainment is going. Well, where does it start and where does it end at this point where you're like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I can tell you where it started. It started with subversion, right? Like all the best entertainers throughout human history until relatively recent were subversive, right? William Shakespeare wrote nothing but subversion against the crown, his entire career. That's why a lot of people don't think it was one dude. That's right. Right. And it wasn't. Probably not, right? Yeah. It's interesting. Yeah. I think it was at Jeffrey Rush. Yep. I think. Um, but yeah, like comedy is about subversion and not just of like literal institutional power like kings and queens and shit, but subversion of this idea that we have to take everything. So goddamn serious all the time, right? Just subversion of the idea that life is serious because it's not everybody's going to die. Nobody, the, the mortality rate is 100%. Everybody's dying. Other selves in high regard were lost. Yeah. If you can't laugh at yourself and just realize that we're all just, as you say, just dumb dumbs, you know, we're in trouble, man. Because when you put yourself in that place, you realize that you're here to learn and you're here to grow. And if you're not here to do that each and every day, you are fucked. Oh, you're fucked. And you don't want to be fucked, right? You just want to get better for yourself, for your partners, for your babies, for the people you love, and, you know, I think we've kind of went in a direction where we became extremely precious and it's exciting to see comedy. It's exciting to see narrative comedy in series that are kind of going back to say, okay, as you said, Dan, it's just a, it's a release valve. So just, you know, to just kind of take the air out of the room a little bit. I mean, who were the first people that came back after 9/11? It was the late night comedy shows. Yep. That was the first one and, uh, and I remember reading the 19th, I think, or something like that. Yeah. And I remember reading the book on it. And originally we were supposed to be Ben Stiller. He backed out and just said, ah, the pressure's too much and everything else. And I think it was Reese Witherspoon and I ended up doing it. And she crushed and it was like, all right, great. We're, we're back and every we can laugh and we can do all this other stuff. And it is very important, but right now it's getting harder and harder to make. I feel like it's easing up. I just watched Vince Vaughn and obviously you introduced me to him way back in the day. And we had some crazy, crazy fucking nights with, with him, which were a blast, but like he's doing a TV show in Apple right now. It's a comedy. He's greater than it. It's called Bad Monkey. Oh, I heard it was fantastic. Yeah. Well, he's fantastic. The show TBD, it is airing weekly. So same with, with, with yours where, all right, great. I'm trying to catch back up and we'll see where it ends, but he's been doing the rounds and podcasts and all that other stuff and even he was just like, I can't get a fucking movie greenlet. Like, I can't get a comedy movie greenlet. Well, it's happening with, it's happening. It's coming back in, in series slowly right now. TV. Yes. So it's going to circle around. He's, the superhero stuff is on the decline. Deadpool is Deadpool. If people see that as some kind of indicator that superhero movies are going to come back, I'm sorry. You can't do what Ryan Reynolds can do. I agree. I, I, I generally believe that the rest of them were bombs and the ones that are coming out or Captain America, the new one. Yeah. With Anthony Mackie. It'll probably be good. It does not look good. I saw the trailer for it. Anthony Mackie's a good actor. I just don't. Great actor. Like that just. Love him. That's fucking great. I, I just think the only thing that is certain is that we cannot gauge what the people want. And, and I think it's because none of us, we don't know what we want. There's so much out there. We're in this, we're in this massive transition phase as a society with just the way technology has kind of come onto us and the amount of content that's out there. So if we don't know what we want, the executive surely don't know what the hell it is right. So I, I, I, there's no way to gauge anymore. It's not like it used to be. So I think unique is if you can find unique material, but man, I, I'm just glad I'm not in a high level executive position, but you're still in it right now. Like I'm out of it. So like I, I don't have a fucking dog in this fight. What are you reading right now that's interesting or is it all just like IP and everything else? Is there anything else cool coming out? You're like, all right, this seems really fucking exciting, like this rocks. Let's go. I'll say when I read from a studio level, it's, um, they're trying to build off of what made money yesterday, which is challenging, right? Because you're chasing IP, you're chasing remakes. But I am finding this exciting and, and I'm grateful that I went through that period where I was only kind of trying to produce and read material and I opened my email up to anyone who had a piece of, had a script, right? So what I'm finding is that from the end, decide people are writing extremely unique shit and you see it when you watch a 24, like the things that they're putting out are, are, are, are, are different not only from the way that it's being performed, but also just the genres that they're tackling and kind of, um, presenting them extremely different. And I'm seeing that in the Andy world, there's some really exciting stuff. But you know, from a studio, you know, you and I were having this conversation. You know, I, I read that Zach Afron's doing, you know, uh, three men and a baby. I, I want to see what that looks like. You know, I know me personally, I want to remake Mr. Mom, right? I mean, I want to be Michael Keaton and Mr. Mom's so bad that I don't even know how, I mean, so there are these great. I want to reduce city slickers. It was one of the things that I turned down, uh, screen test wise was the, the dumb and dumber. And, uh, I, I said, Hey dude, Jim Carrey, I quite soon though. That was too soon. But, but I call my agent and said, Hey dude, Jim Carrey is my fucking dude. That's my hero and everything else. And like, I heard behind the scenes, he was not happy about this, that they were doing a prequel to it. And I go, whatever this is, and I read it and I go, they were like, Hey Ross, you can do this in 10 seconds. Same height weight. You do the voice. You do all the shit. Right. And, uh, you can skip right to screen test. Let's go. And I go, I heard behind the scenes, he's not happy about this. I go, can you confirm it? And they were like, oh, we don't know, we don't talk to Jim or Carrie or whatever. And I was like, uh, I was like, I can't, that's my hero. Like I can't, I can't fucking do this. And movie gets made. Eric Christian Olson ends up doing the Jim Carrey role as the, as the prequel. Lloyd Christmas. Correct. And he, and Jim Carrey goes on David Letterman to promote another movie. And David Letterman goes, what do you think about that movie? Dumb and Dumber. And he goes, let me show this to you, whatever. And, uh, and then it cuts back to Jim Carrey and it goes, wow, imitation is the best form of flattery, isn't it? Fuck this thing. And he was, I mean, just buried it on, on David Letterman. And I was like, oh my God, thank God I would, uh, you know, look, I think it's, I think there's films that have had success because of the actor that are playing the lead role, whether it's Scarface, whether it's Ace Ventura, right? You can't, you have to be honest without Pacino, Scarface is a B-movie without, yeah, without Pacino, not that it's not a great script or anything, but it's a B-movie without, you know, zero debate on that topic, right? You can't remake Christmas vacation. Yeah. You can't, no, you can't remake it, right? No. So there's some films you can't remake Beetlejuice. You can't remake Beverly Hills cop. So I, I think that when you have a film that is successful because of the lead actor brings something special to it, right? But if you take something like city slickers, not that Billy Crystal is an incredible, right? But I'm like, if you take city slickers, I think me and a couple of guys could make it really pretty, or a young lady, one of the roles could make a pretty great film. Well now there, there's also like, and maybe Mr. Mom's a bad example because fucking Michael Keaton. So amazing. And a little baby could be done again now. Well that, it's happening, right? Zach, have for us. But I agree with you. But you're like, I feel like you'd be done well as well as I was burning off. Yeah. Gutenberg was great. I feel like, I feel like it could be done well, but there, there are some, who's the third? I don't know who the third one is. Uh, Gutenberg, Selik, and... Was it the dude from uh... Ted Danson. Oh yeah, Danson, yeah. Ted Danson, that's right. Ted Danson. How could we forget? She was the playboy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She is. Was it tight? Yeah. I mean, that was big. But there are some movie styles that should be persistent throughout all the film. Has there any have been? Right? And since the 1970s, Cameron Crow movies, John Hughes movies, these teen films, right? Yeah. Have been always huge until the last 10 years and now they're fucking vanished. Where are they? Oh yeah. That's because it's gone. It's because it is fucking sex and crude humor, which are two things that just don't play in Hollywood anymore. But that was the winner throughout for 40 fucking years. Yep. American Pie, all the John Hughes stuff. I just watched that brat pack documentary and like that and gone back to the brat pack all the time. But dozens of fucking hit movies of monsters. Just because it touches on relatable shit. But is that, do you think, and I agree we've definitely kind of tapped the brakes on a lot of those topics, but do you think, do you think it's also more challenging to get that demographic into the theaters? No, because it came for Twister. So I see it because I've got a 10 year old and he loves to go to the movies. We go every single weekend and he's close to that demographic, you know, and I see all the teenagers in the movie. I see all the high schoolers in these movies and the ones that they're going to are, you know, the Twisters of the world, the Deadpool's and everything else. Even when I went to Deadpool, I didn't know how much, like I'm a terrible father for this, but like I didn't know that every other word was fucking that movie. I had no idea. And so you took your 10 year old, man, I don't want to do this right now. We're lucky. We've had as much as we've got drinks tonight, but I took him because I like, I didn't know. I have to say this. I have to say this. I have to say this because Kiki and the kids, Hakesy were out here and it would be the day I go, should I go watch a movie and he goes, I don't know, but he want to go watch. I go, we should go watch a dip. It goes pump. That's, that's, and he's 12. He goes, that's not appropriate. He goes, and he literally goes, I think the Garfield movie is so, and I go, yeah. So I love that you take the 10 year old. All right. So let's get into it. So we were fucking losing, but so it's a Friday night, right? Long work week. All that other shit. And, and I, I come home and he's like, dad, you know, because he's got sports on the weekend and Jiu Jitsu and soccer and baseball and all that shit. And so I'm like Friday nights is Friday nights. Same as we're all growing up, you know, and so come home when he goes. TGIF. Yeah. Exactly. But that is, TGIF doesn't exist anymore. Oh, there's no Oracle. There's no fucking TV show. So like I don't, I can't even do that shit. So I got to go to a movie. And so I go, all right, cool movie. Don't want to say because dad, I got to see, I would love to see Deadpool. It looks awesome or whatever. And I go, you know, when it does and there's an app where you can look up to see if there's any nudity in it. Because that's how Jesse and I gauge it, right? And it's like, well, there's no nudity. How bad can it be? So there's no nudity in Deadpool. No shirt cock in this time. Great. Yeah. Yeah. You're all good, right? Unaware that they said the word fuck, maybe 167 times. And I'm just by the first four minute, I'm, I'm like four to five minutes in. Are you saying pope fiction level? Oh. Beyond it. Oh, oh, oh. Double it. Yeah. Double it. Double it. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, oh. It's not even close to me. I mean, there's like a fucking mongoloid Deadpool. There's a midget Deadpool. A retard, a midget. Watch like everything. But he calls him. He goes, hey, is that, is that person retarded? Like, I mean, he's calling it out and you're just like, oh my God, then he's looking in the camera. And then he's saying, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. And it's just, it's relentless to the point where it's comical. So I'm like 15, 20 minutes in. And in my mind, I know I'm the worst father of all time. And I'm just the only one. Right. Cause the 10 year old. Yeah. Like how loud can you laugh when the other parents are around? You know what I mean? Right. And I've got my 10 year old and it's sold out. It's opening night. They clearly see that I'm with my 10 year old and I let go of nobody's tried to stop you. Nope. But I look over at Jackson. I go, hey, bro. I'm sorry. What? But I go, we're not going to laugh too loud tonight. Okay. We're going to, we're going to keep it in. And he goes, I am. We're cool. But like we forget he's in fifth grade. He said fuck all the time in fifth grade and everything else, you know? So it's like, I was making fucking pipe bombs in fifth grade, but yeah, like maybe all sorts of different band. Yeah. You guys were domestic tears. You're just admitted. Yeah. No, no, no, but I was saying fuck a lot. I was saying fuck. Definitely drop F bombs. But it's more about my bike. Yeah. So with him, I go, I go, Hey, and hopefully she's not listening tonight, but I go after the movie is over, I go, Hey, dude, let's, uh, let's not tell mom about any of this, right? She goes, he goes, what am I going to say about the movie? I was like, did you enjoy the movie and he goes, dad, I love the movie and I go, great. Did you say you love the movie and we're going to go upstairs to sleep? I'm tired. Jesse. Jesse goes to sleep at, you know, nine 30 10 and I was just like, very cool. I'm going to get you up. And that was it. Sure enough. We walk in the house. She goes, how was the movie? Because I loved it. Good night, mom. You know? And I was like, okay, cool. I love her on the up and up. But like, I thought you were going to say, she said good night, he was like, go fuck yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you, baby. Fuck you. Jagger maybe the youngest, but not, uh, not Jackson. Question is Channing. Not to be spoiler alerts because I haven't seen the film myself, but is Channing Tatum Gambit? Yes. Can I tell you now we've been drinking. Let's talk about it. He's wanted to play that role for like 15 years. 15 year old. Okay. So have I. So what does that mean? You, and you're actually, well, I guess he's from there too. Makes sense. No, he's not. He's not. He's from Tampa. That makes sense. He seems like a Tampa. He bore city dog. So back when this, when the game is heard, Alabama, but I think his uncle. I mean, you look more like the character from the, it sounds like the character, right? Oh, right. The month, like fuck the former LSU coach, you talking about? Yeah. Yeah. Well, back in the day when that script was first around, I go, Hey, dude, you'd be perfect for this. Right. And Channing Tatum really took off and you don't, you can't judge who's going to go where one why and all that of the stuff and, and then he attaches himself to gambling. He's like, Oh, I want to do gambit and my production company and all this other shit. So it was dead in the water for like 15 years, maybe 18 years somewhere in there, because they just didn't want him to do it. Like, I hate to laugh about it, but like, he literally just didn't want him to do it. No matter how big a movie, sorry, was, they were like, Hey, you've got to do that accent the entire movie. So I go into this, I go and watch Deadpool, and then he pops up his gambit. If you watch the movie, and at this point everybody's already seen it. So hopefully I'm not spoiling it for you. They're almost making fun of him playing gambit the entire time. Yeah. There's a line that Ryan Reynolds says as he's speaking in the accent, you know, the shitty fucking New Orleans accent, Ryan Reynolds goes, what the fuck are you talking about? I can't even fucking understand you right now. And again, every other word is fucking that movie ended up. I start dying laughing. I hate comic book movies. This one made fun of every single thing that you and I have made fun about for 20 years about comic book movies, and I loved every single second of it, but he set fire to the whole genre. So like, I don't know how you can go back and do it after that. Well, there's certainly like, I know Tatum thinks there's going to be a gambit movie. And not that's never going to happen. I can tell you this after watching it. It would cost never happen. I know a million. It would cost so much money to make it. It would be an absolute bomb if he did it because it's not about it. Go watch it for his costume and then get back to me. Which is it the trench coat with the full face thing? No, but it's like a weird metal bandana around the head in the neck where you're like in the hair. It doesn't look cool. No. Like it just doesn't look. Did you notice how like so Elizabeth Olson played the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Right. And it started out with Age of Ultron, I think, where she and her brother get fucked with by that German dude or whatever. Yep. And she's got a fair and tailored Thompson. Yeah. It's fantastic. She's got a very thick Eastern European slash Russian accent. And until the second movie where she's just in a mirror and then for the rest, she did like two, three, two or three more movies, a fucking mini series, right? And then she did the last movie, she did the last, what was it the, the one with Doctor Strange, whatever the last one, whatever the matter, whatever the matter. But yeah, she just, they just gave up immediately on that accent, but it wasn't crucial to her character. Right. Right. Forgive it. It's disturbing. Being a mushmouth fucking hick, Koon ass is, that's all game it is. He's a Koon ass cage. He's a Koon ass cage and it's a fucking gambler. That's his whole fucking thing. And it seems like a dirtier character than like a clean cut guy and that was the other part of it too. It was like, you could do that. Mikey, Michael Raymond James can do that. Yeah. I feel like. But that's about it. We've all wanted to, I mean, we've all wanted to play gambit, right? And they were actually having the auditions for gambit. I'd had a rough night and had forgotten that it was due the next day. Maybe I'd been on a bender, funny story about gambit. I had to do a self tape and I decided to do it out on my stairs back in Echo Park where I was living at the time and me and my wife were doing the scene and I mean, bro, it's so bad. And my cat walks into the scene at some point behind me on the stairs, you flick a card at him? I'm like, dude, I'm trying to do this scene. And funny enough, I was shortly dropped from my representation after that audition day. Shut the fuck up. They were just like, I don't even know what's going on with you anymore. And I was like, dude, I'm just, I had forgotten a lot of, you know, tried to talk my way out of it. Oh, man. I don't know. And it's just like, dude, your cat was in the tape and I'm like, I know, I know, I just, I felt like it was a good one, but I didn't want to thought about doing it one more time. But it just thought, man, I had some good stuff in that one. Oh, yeah, just what we live and we learn. We do. We do. We do. We do. We live and we learn. Look, now's the point in the show we get to the drinking bro of the week. Someone who has inspired you helps you become the person you are today. Is it chanting? Tatum. It is. It is not. I will say, I'll say that my, I'm going to do the drinking bro of the week. I'm going to do my kids, my children as a group make me a better human being on a daily basis. So I'm going to use those. About to be a grandfather for the same time. The grandfather squared my daughter is about to have her first daughter, my second grandchild, and that should happen hopefully in the next couple of days because her poor little belly is about to pop. And your boy's going to come out and intern with us a little, but he's getting into audio engineering. Well, his thing, I told him to set up tonight, which he did. So he set the levels on this tonight. We'll see how they are in post, but you went to sleep. Well, look, I got, he went to, if he's working these production hours, he drove out here. I've got my 17 year old visiting me this weekend. We're going to do some games and yeah, he drove out here today. So he's out, but you know, love man, I got, I got a 12, a 17 and a 26 and they're just, they're just good human beings, right? And that, that's, that's extremely positive for me in the old lady. So absolutely. And one last question before we get out of here, cause we're all going to Georgia Clemson game tomorrow. That's right. Spread is 13 and a half minus 13 and a half. What we will be able to get at this by the way, over under, over under 50s, I believe, let me look, I want to see what that says, but can Georgia win by two touchdowns? It's so difficult, because we're in that, we're having this, it's 48 and a half actually. Oh, is it really? And it's minus 12. Oh, it's got a minus 12? Goddamn, dude. Here's the thing. Has Debo, has Dabo been able to get his kids to all buy in to that we're a unit, we're a family, right? He's not playing the NIO game, you know, right, Georgia has more money, more distractions. We're going to see, right? They've had some disciplinary problems the last couple of years where the car is mostly. Ah, they've had about 19 arrests every off season. My question is, are there no Bulldog fans in the police department? I know. Who the fuck is it? Remember John Voigt and Varsi Lewis? You have trouble handled my boys. I just go back to Florida during the urban Meyer year to stab anybody you want, literally anyone to everyone down there, they were skater fans, they were sweeping literal bodies under the rug. The worst, hey, the worst speeding ticket I ever got in my life was in Athens, Georgia and like those motherfuckers like, they could care less. Yes. And it is indescribable because it was, you know, it's a small town. People don't realize the thing of, oh, University of Georgia, it's got to be near Atlanta. No motherfuckers. No, it's out there. It's two and a half hours. It's like Tuscaloosa. It's a little bubble of a community that's based around the universe. For whatever reason, man, the police do not fucking play ball in that town versus like, hey, man, let's get you home and try to fix this and whatever like they don't. And I don't get it, but every year, every off season, there's like six arrests for University of Georgia. Well, look, you've got the two worlds colliding, right? You've got old school versus new school, which is all the money, lambos, the whole deal, which is University of Georgia, the Bulldogs, which they're like the new Bama. And you've got Clemson, who dabbo again, is he's not going to play by that. And he's trying to just bring in kids who want to play the game. And you know, as someone who watched my boy, Brent Key beat the brakes off for FSU last week and week zero, baby, I said, money line, let's go. Let's go. Hey, it's the line of scrimmage. The game's changed. Nobody cares about that. Spread anymore. It's that ground and pound, baby. It's four to one Clemson money line. Really? That's very attractive to me. Wow. Plus 400. We'll be there tomorrow. Let's go. I'm betting. I'm taking Clemson just because you give me four to one. Anything can happen in this game. It's two really good defenses. Anything can happen in this game. You give me four to one. I'm taking the club. Nick's good. Yeah. I'll put a hundred bucks. Here's what I want. I want a good game. I think it's going to be the game of the day. I don't think that Notre Dame Texas A&M game is going to be really a big. No, I was going to win. Penn State. I think it's going to be a role. Penn State at West Virginia could be weird just because it's at West Virginia, but it's daytime. It's not that concerned about. Me neither. I. Does any Miami at Florida. Penn State. Penn State. The day I get it. I keep hearing it. I know. That's it though. You're selling me on it, but it's every year it's going to be this and I just don't. I know. Then they lose Ohio State. Yeah. That's exactly what happens every year with Michigan. It's one of the two. Yeah. Or both. Or both. Yeah. Miami at Florida. That's a ball game. That's a ball game. All into Miami by the way. Are you going all into Miami? It's at Florida and I think it's minus two and a half Miami. It's close. Correct. I think it's a field goal game and I think Miami wins by three and that's why I got Miami in this. They paid $10 million for the quarterback. I think he'll will himself to win this game. I think you and I were talking about this earlier. I think this is the one game of the weekend that is probably the biggest because it's either Florida is going to fire their coach. They have the worst schedule. They have the hardest schedule of college football this year. And then Miami, if you do not win this game, how does that justify you shelling out $10 million a player going forward? It's going to change the course of the history of each program for two totally different reasons. The coach will leave from Florida or they're going to stop paying kids down in Miami and try to figure this out. It's a weird time, but I can't wait to watch that fucking game. No, it's going to be a great game, but really, I mean, really, is it more about the fact that Saban is gone? Well, yeah, this is the first time that as a Bama fan, I mean, no, not just as a Bama fan. No, this is the first time that college football hasn't had Nick Saban in since we've been out. Yeah, in a lot of ways, it's for Bama fans, right, the pressure, right, what we were talking about before. It's all now. We're leaving the pressure, right? It's all of us fans. We now don't have championship or bust, which is so nice. It feels kind of what it felt like in '07. Yeah. Yeah. You mean before you were good? Before you were great. Yeah. Yeah. You know? And now, you know, it's like, okay, we get to kind of see what's happening. What is, what college football's going to be like, and we still get Saban on Saturdays on game day. You do. Right. So that's nice. Urban's on Fox. You know? Well, you've had, you've had Kirk, you know, as a Ohio State, you know, quarterback, right? You've had, you've also had to look at Desmond, which is challenging as an Ohio State fan. It is, because he's a dummy, but so we're in Michigan next week. We are. Oh, that's right. We're trying to make Texas. Yes. So Mikey gonna go home. Yeah. And I think we might get Charles Whitson on the show as well. Yes. Yes. Which is like, that'll be, I don't care. Penn State, we haven't been relevant in years, but it'd be a nice dig on him. Okay. Would you say Shay? Who? Uh, Wickham. Um, here's the, here's the. Shay, Wickham's going to fucking be on to. Yeah. God damn it. He is. We're in all the best character actors of all time. We're in. Yeah. We're in all the best character actors of all time. Yeah. Randy, Randy quades up next. Everyone. They never do face, but you have no idea what their name is. Oh, that's that guy from that movie. That's the guy from the face. He's in everything. He's in everything. He's in everything. Oh my God. I love, what? I love him. I love him. Yeah. Oh. But the audience loves it. They're like, oh, fuck. Finally. Um, but with that. Nice to put a name to a face. You know. Exactly. Here's the weird thing that I said though. It spreads out. It's Michigan plus three and a half at home with the Texas injuries because the last two starting running backs. I don't know who the receivers are. The receivers are good. Let's be honest. Michigan's got a defense. Let's be honest. I've got Michigan plus three and a half. Yeah. I think Michigan's trash. I think everyone graduated and they, they, they, they, they, what did you say? They had forty six. They had forty two seniors last year. It was a lot. And we, if we had someone here who could actually pull up those numbers for us, but I think it's forty two seniors ripped, I think. You're talking about kids that bought into a program. And now I don't, I just don't think this guy is the guy. No, he's the fall guy. The emotional outbursts that we had that first game that Harvey the guy was not there. This dude is like, he's steering the ship into the iceberg. I, I, I, and I know Ohio State has bought the farm, including Caleb Downs from the University of Iowa. Julian Sand from Alabama, obviously. And then the starting center. Yeah. I mean, we go. Okay. Well, you can have Sarah McLachlan, uh, who she could not say, I don't, I don't, I don't. Seth McLachlan. I don't. States. Whatever. Never gave up his sack. He has, he has. You know what though? He also snapped it over Jalen Melrose head. A 33 times including, including the, the playoffs against Michigan. Is that a real number? Four or three. It's not a real number, but it should be because it's, it's, it's as a fan. It seemed like every time he just needed to get out of there, dude. It was people didn't believe in him. And, and look, uh, he's going to be awful and I'm just so happy. He left. I'm so happy he left. I am in Ohio State one and I'm like, I'm like, Ryan, what are you fucking thing? That's all you're saying. You're not saying the tape. Do you see like how I'm, I'm, it's, you can almost see me lifting up an actual chain of chip. You lift me. You raise me. Oh, my, you is that Josh Groven? What is that? It's Groves. Yeah. It's Groves against Michigan. Go ahead and drop that down. Yeah. Big fan. Big fan. We'll find out tomorrow.
