I have a friend here, McCone, who's going to be operating a camera.
I don't want to start on you.
I know he can be scary being a woman.
So McCone, bye.
Good, how are you?
Good, how are you?
I'm really good.
I like how I'm concerned, you are everyone's comfort.
Well, I, I, uh, you're pregnant, uh, we were real that.
Yeah.
Oh, I just thought you looked horrible.
You know, Lamon Morris.
Of course.
I have a statue of him, actually.
Oh, that's amazing.
This is Lamon and his daughter and that's what his lips are really red.
Yeah.
Lips to come.
Yeah.
Whoever made this.
I think at the child.
Yeah.
That's me.
Is that you?
What were you bringing up Lamon for?
He really burned me.
What do you mean?
I put a photo of me and my other friend looking pretty good and he just went y'all
fat.
Oh, really got me.
I don't think.
You're going to be here.
I also, uh, just for the record, I want to say that I don't believe that any women are
fat.
Wait, wait, can we keep it on the blanket?
Oh, yeah.
And I have a low CD.
Is this correct?
That's perfect.
Do you want the, do you try this or that?
Now I know what to try this means, but I think what Cohn doesn't.
So just from what Cohn, would you explain what that means?
This actually isn't the brightest.
But try this is like, you know, the little bullshit stuff in the car.
Oh, me and I play it.
No.
Could I have you get to where you think you're going to be most comfortable so I can focus
you?
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what looks flattering these days.
Do you know what I mean?
Well, you know what we could do.
Like what is?
We could just do this.
Do I just do this?
That's the belly.
And then we could animate the baby inside.
Could you?
Like, is this good or do I look crazy?
Um.
Because I did press with Jason and I thought I looked good.
And then I watched it back and I looked like a make a wish kid.
Uh, I think that you're a little out of touch with what real people look like.
Um, because that's not what a make a wish kid looks like.
No, you should say I'm like, this little, uh, it's not good.
It's not good.
Okay.
Well, I think you look like a fucking stunning movie star who's about to give birth.
Great.
And I forgot I wanted to pitch this to you beforehand, but I have really been wanting
to do an episode while somebody is giving birth.
Do you want to come to the hospital?
Do you know when are you going to do so?
Do you know how you're going to do this?
No, but my mom's quite witchy and she reckons she's going to cut it
a girl.
She'll come.
Your mom guessed that.
No, we found that out.
But mom reckons she's going to be early.
Well, if you give me a round late March, early April, um, not sure if you're joking,
but just in case you're not McCone, can we?
It'll be you, my sister, my mom, Jimmy.
And the next one is McCone.
Don't you think sometimes front-on, you're like, is she pregnant or did she just have a big lunch?
But then side on McCone gets it.
Yeah.
You're like, no, no, she's pregnant.
Um, I don't, I mean, it's in the nicest possible way.
Front-on, you look pregnant.
Okay.
Yes.
Do you know what size she is today?
Uh, pineapple.
Oh.
Isn't that cool?
Is that how it works?
Do you, people, they, by size, they go, uh, what fruit it might be?
Yeah, but my ultra-sound tech really doesn't like that.
She's French and she's like, no, no, you are having a human baby.
Your baby is not a vegetable.
Well, um, in France, pineapples are vegetables, apparently.
That's right.
I forgot about it.
Oh, how rude of me.
What's up?
I left this to trade us so far away from you.
No, that's fine.
It's good.
You know, man, move this over here to get a trailer.
Yeah.
Don't know at all.
It feels incorrect.
You know?
Okay.
Also, I forgot, whenever we have somebody pregnant on, we give them a little bit of a
sheriff's badge for you.
Oh.
Water?
No, that's fine.
I know.
It gets good for the baby, not?
I don't know.
Are you okay with that, really?
I guess.
No, I'm scared.
Isn't dog saliva not good or something?
Uh, I think, I don't know, the only story I know is the superhero dog man who was born
from a mother who drank from a cup of water.
That would be really good.
Like what superpowers does this dog have?
It's just, it's a, it's made in this culture, it's a dog's, okay.
How many?
Is this a, this is a boy dog?
Yeah.
How old is the boy?
Two and a half.
Oh.
Fresh.
Yeah.
Quite a new dog.
Say it again?
Quite a new dog.
Say it backwards.
Oh, you know, they, oh, should I lean back, you know, lean everywhere you want to
lean.
We're going to get started in about 20 minutes.
I can, I'll be back.
That's quite comfy.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That was quick, Rick.
That's what they call you.
Yeah.
You know what?
We should have thought about this beforehand.
We switched this out real quick.
You know what?
We should have thought about this beforehand.
We switched this out real quick.
Previous guests in the pod.
No way.
All right.
Ready or not?
Let's get started.
Theme music.
Scoot.
Oh, blebberty blue, scooping.
Oh yeah.
He's using so much time.
Could you push the microphone a little further away from you?
Perfect.
I was thinking good joke.
Oh, you want it?
Could you talk into it?
Do you want it like this?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Would you like it like this?
Yeah, actually, at least for a clip.
Should I do ASMR?
Pregnant ASMR.
I can't hear you.
Say it again.
Hello.
Yeah, it's better.
Okay.
Quite a new dog.
Well, before I get started on the podcast, let me first say nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
We have been online friends since February 2024.
Is that right?
I don't know.
But I remember I saw that you followed me while I was working on something that was around
that time.
Yeah.
Yes.
I don't know how we like, I won't say smushed, how like our lives crossed.
I feel like we have many friends in common.
Well, I don't know how you crossed into my life, but me and to yours was from ready or not.
Oh, really?
Hell yeah.
So good.
Do you like it?
Loved it.
Watch it again.
I had seen it already, but then I was sent at number two.
So I watched both of them last night.
Watch the second one.
Yeah.
What do you think?
I was telling the con.
They're awesome.
Have you not seen it yet?
No, I have, but I'm nervous because it's the sequel and so many sequels are shit.
And we want this one to be good.
It's.
They're awesome.
Elijah.
Elijah's hat.
Would.
Yeah.
His hat.
I don't know what how you talking to the very end, the, the dragon thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have that dragon kind of.
I had it.
My parents house on the wall, but it was a candle holder.
It looks just like that.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but I don't want to bore you with that.
I think this one's a goat.
Oh.
Thanks for coming over.
Thanks for having me.
Anything else you want to plug?
You've three movies coming.
I have three things coming that I should be plugging.
I have one with Jason Segal, Timothy Orphan, Juliet Lewis.
Come on.
What a cast.
Called over your dead body and the trailer came out today.
Oh, I didn't know what I would have, I would have loved to have done my research.
That's okay.
It looked literally minutes.
It's a comedy, right?
It's a comp.
Yeah.
Horror comedy.
It's a little, it's a little horror action comedy.
H-E-C.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Heck.
He's one of the, he's one of these to me.
Sorry.
I know.
We've got to bring him on here.
He's doing a movie right now, but we should get him here.
Forgetting ceremonial.
He was, like, if he told me when I was younger that I would be doing a movie with him,
I would have.
Oh, thanks, Rick.
I'm 33.
I thought we were the same age.
It's my birthday on Monday.
Is it really?
Yeah.
I'm 29 today.
No.
Yeah.
Is it your birthday?
No, not, I'm just today.
I'm 29.
Oh.
Gotcha.
Actually, I was going to bring you Tim Tams, but then I forgot.
Tim Tams is an Australian chocolate.
And I know this because friend of the pod and ex-girlfriend in that order, no, no, she's
lovely.
Okay.
Is Australia?
And she told me about Tim Tams.
Who is it?
Yeah.
I don't know if you know her.
Betty.
Betty.
She's not in the business.
Oh.
Bethany.
Betty.
Betty.
I know that you guys have mutual friends.
Really?
Because I told her that you were coming on last night and she said we have mutual friends.
Who?
Did she?
You did not have any followers.
I was listening.
I was just getting her tips.
She was breastfeeding and the baby pulled down her shirt, actually.
Wait, she has a baby?
Is it yours?
No.
Oh, sorry.
It's okay.
Sorry for laughing.
It's okay.
We have to laugh at babies at R and R.
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
What kind of world are we trying to save?
That's true.
Watch as they go to hell.
As he graces through the open blanks.
Sorry.
Do you think it's possible that anyone else in the world is doing this very same thing?
That's very similar.
I hope so.
Otherwise what the hell are we trying to say?
Are you a friend of Armageddon?
Never seen it.
I'll watch it.
I'm sorry.
Do you know what I watched for the first time last night?
You could either tell me or give me a hint, but it has to be one of the two.
It was super hyped up at the time.
Godfather, too.
I had an idea.
Godfather, three.
Go ahead.
It's super hyped up at the time.
Super hyped up at the time.
Two sexy ladies in it.
Did it come out?
Give me a 10-year 20 to 20 time.
Like 10 years ago.
Two sexy ladies.
I'm guessing it's a comedy.
No.
Ocean's eight.
I'll let you guys watch two with sexy.
I don't know.
More hints?
Mako and you could play.
The director did another movie that like his first film kind of started a revolutionary
with indie movies.
Blair Witch Project.
No.
His first movie was about math.
Was the guy who's the bad guy named Khan in Star Trek in it, pen and a cover batch?
Pen and a cover batch is not in it.
And I don't want to see it.
Yeah.
By the way, same.
You like him?
I do.
You haven't worked the other, have you?
No.
My uncle has, though.
Oh, is he his PD nutrition?
Yeah.
He's a worse guy, sir.
But so confident.
No, my uncle's a famous actor.
He's in your favorite movie of all time.
You love Lord of the Ring scene.
Wait a minute.
Yeah, man.
Who is?
You're going to lose, you're going to lose.
Uncle?
Yeah.
Your tits are going to be blown off.
Oh, I didn't even know his name.
Yeah.
You go from the Matrix.
Yeah.
Every time I see him, I think this guy's in two of the best trilogies.
Yeah, man.
Your uncle is Hugo.
That's probably how you got in the business.
Yeah.
No, actually, no, I was, that was a lie.
I didn't really know he was an actor until I was like.
Is he related to you?
He's my uncle.
You didn't know he was an actor until when?
The Matrix?
I think I was like 14 or 15.
And I found in my dad's DVD library, Priscilla Cleaner
The Desert.
Have you seen that?
No.
No.
Oh, dude.
You should watch it.
It's like an Aussie classic.
I'll watch that.
You watch Armageddon.
Okay.
And then we'll do a part two.
You still haven't guessed my movie that I watched yesterday.
Okay.
What other hints can I give you?
I'm going to see if Chachy could do it.
Two sexy ladies.
Two sexy ladies.
I'm going to give you a couple of hints about a movie, period.
There's two sexy ladies in it, period.
It came out within the last 15 years, period.
The director of it kind of paved the way for indie movies.
Yeah.
Period.
Okay.
I'm asking my dad.
Oh, there's a...
Okay.
You brought up?
Oceans.
There's an actor from Oceans, also in this movie.
You never going to guess it.
Oh, the bling ring.
Oh, the bling ring.
Oh, the bling ring.
Oh, the bling ring.
The bling ring.
The bling ring.
No.
The master.
Uh-huh.
One of the actors from Thelma and Louise is in it.
No, no, no, no.
One of the actors from Oceans is in it.
And the guy who dances in the lights, you know, the guy that's like in Oceans where
he's like, does that hectic laser dance?
A lot of Catherine Zeta Jones.
A bit of French dude.
Oh, I know what you're talking about.
He's in it.
He's in it.
He gets real weird with Miss Natalie Portman.
I haven't seen it.
Oh, yeah.
What are we talking about?
That's...
I watched Black Swan for the first time last night.
Have you seen the bloopers?
No.
They're so funny.
Really?
Swipe to the bloopers.
Do you know Natalie Portman?
I love Natalie Portman.
Do you know her personally?
No.
I was going to ask if you could text her and ask her to do some bloopers of that movie so
we could put it in here.
Never mind.
I wish.
I don't know many famous people.
You know Lamoran?
I know Lamoran.
Actually, I know a few.
Ready or not is so good.
Thanks.
And I have some questions that maybe I'll ask...
I mean, I guess I could ask now.
Yeah.
I don't know if this is on podcast questions.
But I do have one particular question.
Uh-huh.
The end of one, no spoiler, and the beginning of two overlap.
Originally, I assumed that they just used extended footage from the first one that they
never used at the end of one, but you redid it.
Yeah.
I realized that.
Yeah.
Um, first of all, was that complicated?
Yeah.
Because it was...
It had to be...
I assumed that your director's wanted it to be like exactly and it looked like it.
Exactly.
Can you imagine the makeup nightmare it was to match that blood?
I thought about that so many...
I have so many questions...
That's maybe boring.
I have so many questions about that.
Took them allas.
Was it just that part or other parts, too?
Because there were other scenes where there was some makeup stuff that had to go into other
scenes and I was just wondering, do you maybe, do they maybe like do those in the same
day, linearly?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or there was like a slight time cut so you could get away with it being a little bit different.
But at the very end...
Spoiler alert.
Spoiler alert.
Go ahead.
I'll try not to spoil it.
And what we'll do is we'll put a little red bar underneath.
So you could fast forward or mute it and once we're in bars up it'll be when it's done.
That's what I was wondering.
At the pit when it all happened and then...
Yeah.
And then you guys would...
Yes.
That seemed to me energy wise.
It seemed like a different day.
Yeah.
It was a different day.
Make-up matched.
Nightmare make-up match.
But Colin, he was the make-up artist, he's a genius.
Spoiler bar done.
So in the beginning when you sit down and then the camera follows you going like this.
Yeah.
Was that a hand off to a rig or was it on a rig the whole time?
No, it was a rig that was attached to me on a big...
Yeah.
Yeah, rig.
Have you done something like that before?
Not like that.
That was pretty cool.
When you do that kind of stuff, as not only the actor but the lead actor, I think it's
a difference because I've only been the lead in one thing before.
What is it?
Oh, it was just this Amazon show I did called as we see it.
And I felt a different sense of like how far does my collaboration become a nuisance versus
like questions?
I have questions.
I asked so many questions on set.
Uh-huh.
When you're doing that and setting that rig, are you just trusting and saying, do what
you need to do?
Or do you ask stuff?
No.
I think with technical stuff I leave it up to people that know more than me.
Do you know what it's going to look like?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we had the shot from the first movie up so that I could match, because my head out
to be in the same position, um, but in terms of the technical side of things, matching
that shot and what Tyler wanted to do with the...
Is that a cinematographer?
He's one of the directors, Tyler Gillette and Matt open.
Yeah.
I saw that too.
Will you also bring this down?
Yeah.
It is right.
Yeah.
Um, in my face, I...
Why him?
It was one more in charge of...
Yeah, Tyler does the like, camera side and work through cameras more and Matt works
with the actors.
So Tyler's also the DP?
No.
Then there's a DP called Brett, who's a legend.
Shout out to Brett, who's Instagram here.
The movies are awesome.
Yeah.
The movies are fucking awesome.
Thanks.
Also, in an effort to not gush too much at least not yet, I think you're absolutely incredible.
Aww.
You're so the intensity and the calmness and the eyes and stuff.
It's just like...
It's wild.
I also didn't see the second one before I saw it.
And I thought to myself while I was watching the first one again, I thought they're going
to put you in the dress again.
I just feel like that's...
I have to.
No.
I thought that.
I don't know why.
I don't know if you have to.
I just thought that's such a big...
I mean, there was such a meal of it in a nice way, but like when you ripped in the shoes
and stuff, and then I went, aha, I like out loud and not a spoiler.
But when you put the dress back on, I thought you just need some validation to do it.
Yeah.
And you just wanted to be able to fight again.
That was a whole combo too.
Of how do we realistically get...
Let her back in the dress.
Could you...
Were you...
How behind the scenes were you with that?
And were you...
This is a little nerdy stuff, but like I want to know about that because I was anticipating
and I...
You really even thought, will they do it?
How will they do it?
Yeah.
And then they did it.
And you...
It also did it really quick.
I don't think it mattered.
I think just find a validation and move on.
That's it.
Could you tell me any of the behind the scenes of pros and cons thoughts?
Yeah.
There was so many...
We didn't want to make it until the script was where we all felt like this is...
Just as good or better than the first one, you know.
Otherwise, what's the point of making a subpar version?
So the script was like worked on a lot.
And with that particular logic with the dress, how do we put her back in the dress?
There was one version where she just didn't wear it at all and she's just in a hospital
gown the whole time.
Or there's like sweats or she wears her sister's clothes that maybe she packed an overnight
bag.
But we all wanted the visual of her and back in that dress.
And the moment, as a viewer, you want to like have that moment of her putting it back
on like some sort of armor.
And I can't remember who might have even been brought, came up with the idea that it's
still in a bag and it's all she can have access to.
You said you wanted to be to a place where you were ready for it.
When was the second script shown the first time?
Because it was six years in between?
Yeah.
A long time in between.
I mean, there was no plan to make a second one until I think like four or five years
afterwards.
There was always a conversation, but you said you didn't want to do it though until it
was ready.
So like, did you get a scripting like now?
I think the guys, when they were trying to break the story, it was just a lot of back
and forth with the writers of how do we do it?
Because how do you, how do you top the first one?
And also how do you like defy people's sense of what they're expecting?
You know, like in the first one, the twist of the ending is so unexpected.
What twist are you talking about?
The fact that they do explode.
You know, it's the will they weren't they?
So now that that's like out of the bag, how do we do that again?
Right.
What's the word I'm looking for?
Subvert people's expectations?
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think.
You know, is there a word?
I don't know if there's a word for it.
There's one in my head when I come up.
A plethora?
What's that?
A word I made up?
I was just trying to subvert your expectations.
Really good.
Yeah, so if you have a word, it could be that.
Okay.
I think a good way of doing stuff is which you did in this movie, which I consider the
game of Thrones approach.
Not really spoiler, but is if you have somebody who you even recognize, let alone of note,
who dies early, you don't expect them to that early.
So I do think there's like a, oh, anything can happen type of thing.
I think.
Yeah.
The whole thing seemed like both of those movies exhausting.
So exhausting.
You're just constantly, not just the character.
I have to imagine you just pushing, right, like literally, like at least unless you're
able to shake without feeling, which I don't, I don't know how somebody could do.
I don't mean that literally, but like.
You kind of can shake without feeling if you really need to.
I don't mean literally, do you know what I'm talking about though?
I'm saying like to have, have fear in your, in your body, you're able to just do it with
your face and not feel it.
No, it's hard.
You got to feel they could, the cameras.
I think so too.
That's what I was saying.
It's so incredible.
You're, you're terrified.
You're going between terrified and acceptance.
So much in that movie.
And it's just like, I believe it, it's, it's nuts, it's like.
The first one more than the second one, not for better or worse, but the first one felt
more like, like a character study, like it's just this, you're watching somebody go through
something that you can't possibly empathize what it would feel like to go through it.
And I feel like that's probably what it would be.
Yeah.
I've always wanted to play, I love war movies, like watching a soldier go through exactly
what you said, like go through a human experience that I cannot comprehend at all.
It's just like the max of human emotion, and I've always wanted to play, and I feel like
we should make a female soldier movie, because there's so many stories about it, someone
needs to do it.
Anyway, what about that kind of lead to ultimately the Will Smith Chris Rock slap?
Is that right?
Yeah.
Do you have the idea Jane?
If it weren't for the GI Jane, where is it?
Good not in a superhero way.
There's haves of female superheroes.
Do you have any is in a superhero?
Is she?
I don't remember.
Well, GI Joe, I mean, adjacent, no?
I don't think so, but also it was a while ago.
I didn't know enough about that.
Um, no, I don't think there's any relation to GI Joe other than the, the plan words.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
So a female soldier movie, similar to Oceans 8, but for instead of robberies, it's soldiers.
Right.
Yeah, like a 1970 or an old quiet on the west and front, those kinds of films, we would
have to take place modern day, right?
Not necessarily.
There was so many like Russian soldiers, it was like they, that were women.
There was a whole battalion that was old female, there was so many guerrilla female soldiers
leading the rebellion in France in World War II.
There was a famous Australian one who was sick and she killed two Nazis with her bare hands.
Anyway, someone will do it.
I hope so.
But in the meantime, I got to play like a soldier essentially in Radio Not or I likened it
to that.
Do you talk to people who have had their hands shot or that like saw somebody get blown
up?
No, no, I just watched War movies because these soldiers like they, they're just normal
regular people, do you know what I mean?
And they're like my dad's a baker and suddenly I'm like fighting a hundred men.
How do you get into this genre, that's your genre now?
I didn't, I didn't, like it just kind of happened.
I think I, my first like big break was the baby sitter, this movie I did, it was my first
American film.
What was that?
That's not a John Hill movie, is it?
No, it's a Netflix movie and it's a horror comedy and then after that, it just kind
of kept happening.
I mean, nine perfect strangers, I was waiting for it to be a horror and it never really
was.
I was confused, but I was, I was on edge the entire time and was there a second season of
that?
I think so, yeah.
I didn't, I didn't see it.
Um, but like you had that vibe and that too to me, like a horror vibe?
Yeah, really?
I don't know if it's because of that what the show was or what I thought like you were
a horror person to me, but yeah, it did, whenever you were on screen, I was like waiting
for something.
Oh, wait.
I thought I was the antithesis of a horror person in that show.
I was, I thought something was going to happen, scary with you.
No, just lost my nose, I think, did a bunch of drugs, nose fell off.
Yeah.
Do you do cocaine?
I used to, I can't anymore because of the baby, because of the baby.
There was a, I don't know, I think it was the first one where one of the, where the
family members comes in and she has coke on her nose and the way you went like this,
I thought to myself, oh, she, not the character you have probably done that before.
It's like when people, I can tell if they, actors have smokers or not, you know, when you
can tell someone's really uncomfortable like smoking a cigarette, but they're pretending
and then you can tell.
But when they cough, have they never smoked a cigarette?
No, it's like something in the, their hands, they're like too stiff or something.
I've never smoked a cigarette.
Have you never?
No, but I used to smoke joints and I always felt popular.
No, I smoke joints.
Okay.
I smoke joints.
You don't have to prove yourself to me.
You're cool.
Haven't I, you, I know I haven't smoked since I've met you, but I take edibles all the
time.
That's not smoking though.
Here's my throat.
Come on.
Yeah.
If somebody knew you got to push through, push through, just keeps smoking away.
No, but I love getting high.
I wanted to get high for this one.
Really why?
I'm not good enough sober.
I just felt like you're going to be heavy and I don't know, I don't know.
Like what am I going to do?
It's going to be literally my arms will get tired from carrying this interview.
And I think that if you're a fan of Taiso, then I have a feeling that you're a fan of
big rock hard boners.

Now I am a little bit of a bitch when it comes to bugs.
I'm also somebody who likes to bring bugs outside.
I see a spider.
The first thing I do is go, ah, ah, ah.
Then I contemplate, am I going to put it in a cup and bring it outside or did it go under
a bed or someplace I can't reach and am I going to consider actually moving?
The thing is, sometimes it's not as simple as putting it in a cup and bringing it outside.

I've been doing weed more than I go through kind of cycles.
Okay.
Does this make you think of clueless?
Nope.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Makes me feel worse than me.
Makes me feel worse than me.
What a mystery.
Wasn't a mystery.
Didn't people not know?
Not a riddle.
Have you seen the dog?
No.
Who's seen the dog?
The dog?
Yeah.
Alvin, stop.
I heard that you're not supposed to let them lick their paws too much.
Why?
I just, I heard that.
From who?
You don't know.
Something about them licking their, I don't know if licking their paws is a symptom
of something or licking their paws cause of something.
Oh.
But it's one of those things.
You're looking it up.
Thanks.
I've been doing weed more.
And how you like it?
I love it.
I love it.
You love it.
I would do it every day if I didn't wake up the next day feeling a little tired and
I didn't just eat churros non-stop.
Yeah.
Do you get stuff done?
I get creative stuff done.
So I could, I could write, I could perform, I could edit.
You can?
So you can function.
Yeah, but I don't work out.
I don't leave the house.
I don't want to do laundry.
Yeah.
OK.
I don't want to shower.
I don't want to brush my teeth.
I don't want to wash my face.
You become a boy.
Yeah.
You become a baby boy.
Yeah.
What's your skincare routine?
I was on acutine for like a year.
Now my skin's great.
I have, go ahead.
Occasional polychromes normal for dogs, part of self-germing, but excessive or obsessive
licking is not healthy enough.
It indicates underlying issues.
While some licking helps keep paws clean or soothe minor irritations frequent and tends
licking chewing or biting can signify allergies, infections, injury, pain or boredom.
You said that like you were giving the transition conditions of a gambling ad.
I was going to say, and they were just told they have to slow that down now.
You know, in the ads.
Yes.
So you know what I do?
I just say it really fast.
I don't speed it up as much.
I do gambling ads.
You do?
I do.
Can I hear one?
Can you do it?
Can you do?
Do you have a memorize them?
No.
It's just saying a whole bunch of states and phone numbers.
Do you gamble?
I love.
You love.
I love gambling.
I've seen those.
I'm not much of a sports gambler.
I love blind check.
Okay.
Ooh.
Sexier.
Ocean.
Tell me two hands.
Tell me two cards that I have.
The queen of diamonds and a ace of space.
What do you have showing?
I have two of spades.
Great.
I just won.
Oh, is that good?
Yeah.
You're welcome.
Thank you very much.
Gambling ads are something that is there are people.
There are fans of the podcast who have had problems
with me doing them.
Pocoa.
Because it ruins people's lives, I guess.
It really does, though, doesn't it?
And I've thought about not doing them.
But that would be a gamble.
Because I don't know who can fill that out space
to give me the money.
Yeah.
You got a pay for your gambling addiction.
Yeah.
And for, you know, weed.
Weed.
Don't gamble if you can't gamble, you know?
But like, I have an interesting relationship
with doing ads because I say no to some things.
I used to say no to a lot of things.
Like, hey, do you want to advertise this?
I would say no to everything that I didn't,
not only that I'd be willing to use
but I didn't already use.
Like what?
A wine subscription.
I don't drink.
Yeah, but money.
I don't drink and I did.
I got free tickets to Coachella through Heineken.
And I just went like this.
And they gave me tickets.
And you feel fine with it, right?
That's where I am now.
That's where I am.
I see Alicia Keys in like 20 people, private, intimate.
Considered Alicia Keys.
Sponsored by Heineken.
A whiskey brand.
And I literally had to do the thing
that you like sip of it, like not sip.
Like pretend to sip and throw it over your shoulder.
Reminds me of my first commercial that I did for KFC
where I had to take a bite while I was watching the big game
and I would stand up excited.
And I was the only one who asked for a spit bucket.
Oh, embarrassing.
For me?
Yeah.
It's funny that you bring that up.
I want to shine a magnifying glass on that
because people did bust my balls about it.
Yeah.
I would.
You know, you're too good for KFC.
I had to keep taking bites.
Too good for the channel.
I think that I could swallow it like a man.
I was proud that I said a boundary.
Despite people saying, you know, you fucking Jew cuck and it was
ain't it?
This is before COVID.
This is before all the people need to black lives matter.
Did they say like are you spit on swallow?
Was that kind of joke?
No.
No.
People didn't sexualize men yet.
Okay.
They have seasoned Australia.
Did they?
Mm-hmm.
It's a thing.
Mm-hmm.
Mom would really.
Shut the fuck up, dude.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The fuck are you doing, dude?
It's known.
It's from Australia.
I know.
France is really good.
No condoms in France.
No McDonald's in France is better than here, apparently.
I haven't heard that, but I heard the Australia KFC one.
She's from Australia.
I know.
And I've had it there.
It's good.
I haven't.
Why don't you drink?
I lost my privileges.
Oh, you're sober?
Yeah.
Because of problems.
Took it.
I've been.
I completed drinking.
I finished it.
You know, that that tracks to me.
You saying I completed drinking is the same thing as you calling me a f*** because I didn't
swallow the KFC stuff.
I didn't say that.
I just said you were weak and like not a man.
Are you a bully when you were younger?
No, I was bullied.
No, you weren't.
Yeah.
You got beaten up.
You got your head put in a toilet?
No.
Girl bullying.
Hating.
Where they would be like, oh, how are you?
She's f***ing fat.
No, no, no.
Have you seen private schoolgirl, Chris Lilly?
I hate that.
Why are you wearing that?
I heard f*** it like kissed someone else.
Was your high school boyfriend?
Maybe.
Middle school?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
F***.
And he got kicked in.
He got kicked in the head so many times playing rugby that his hair went gray at 13 years old.
Is that why you went gray?
Yeah.
I think so.
He got like 11 concussions.
F***.
What is he doing now?
He would swallow a KFC.
I don't even get what the joke is there.
You're saying you need a real man?
Is that what the joke is?
Yeah.
The guy who decides after a second concussion to keep going nine more times.
Yeah.
Have you talked to him recently?
No.
Do you have his phone number?
Yeah.
I don't want to.
I don't want to call him.
Why is that?
That's good.
KFC.
I don't know.
Not in the mid.
So you were when you were 13, you were dating him?
Yeah.
That's a theory on how old a guy is when he gets blown and how old a girl is.
Not when she can see now, but when she first blows.
Okay.
Kind of dictates who they become.
Really?
Yeah.
But not intended.
What do you think I'm scared to ask?
What do I think about what?
Nothing.
When you first blew?
Yeah.
Well, based on the fact that you finished drinking, no way was it later than 15.
Nobody finishes drinking and didn't blow a guy until she was in 16 or 17.
And that's why I say this all the time.
I want all young girls to not blow somebody until you're 16.
Oh, you'll get a drinking problem.
It depends.
A genetics is a big part of it too.
See, I didn't get blown until I was 17.
Oh, sweet.
Yeah.
So I take edibles instead of smoking.
You're right.
You gamble.
I only gamble.
I only do table game gambling.
Your ex girlfriend has a baby with someone.
You know, three of my last four exes all had babies within a year of each other.
So if you want to get pregnant.
Fuck me for a little bit.
And then also I could come inside of you because I heard if you hold your breath when you
come, you can't get a girl pregnant.
No, I have a varicoseal in my left testicle and it's difficult to get somebody pregnant.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Okay.
And I had a surgery on it in the 11th grade.
My varicoseal went away.
A woman got pregnant that I was sleeping with.
My varicoseal came back.
Wow.
The world was really going.
Don't do that.
Yeah.
Well, is it better now?
The varicoseal is still there.
It's just extra veins around my left testicle.
So it's warm.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
I think so.
Can you get someone pregnant?
It's just harder.
I would have to either do IVF or have the surgery again.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you want to do the surgery again?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I would do the surgery again once I found my person.
Nice.
I'm ready to have kids.
I was ready yesterday.
Yeah.
But you have to leave the house to meet someone.
I've been doing weed less.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I've been going on dates.
Hey.
How's it going?
I don't know if any of the people that go on dates with watch my podcast, I have to assume
they don't.
Oh, yeah.
Well, they probably do.
I don't think so.
They probably just watch the clips.
But I have been having a nice time.
I have not found a person that I want to have surgery for yet.
Okay.
That's a good bar to have.
Yeah.
Well, I have surgery on my balls for this woman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is the old saying goes.
That's a classic.
So you're 13 years old.
You're blowing guys.
You're getting eaten out.
And then you're like, when I stop drinking, I think I'll get in a horror movies.
Yeah.
No.
Sure.
So when did you, um, what kind of stuff did you do going on dates before you guys could
drive?
Um, in Australia, people just get really drunk and then kiss.
Like, literally, okay.
I went back to Australia and my girlfriend's a single and I was like, I want to see what
goes on in your single life.
So we went to a pub and it's like high school that all the boys are on one side and all
the girls are on the other side.
And then they get drunk and then they make out.
There's no.
At the bar.
At the pub?
Yeah.
And then I came, I remember coming to the States and being so surprised at how, um, men
will come up to people, men approach women here and not in a creepy way.
They just Australians avoid it, I think.
I have been hearing, um, from, uh, the woman podcast, uh, space that the algorithm has been
forcing down my, can I say fucking throat that guys don't approach women anymore?
Or do they not?
I feel like they, well, in the States, it's, maybe it's gone down, but it's way more
than in Australia.
Is there afraid to or because women also go up to men and you just say kiss, kiss,
like Neanderthals?
I don't know.
It must be a cultural thing.
And I mean, all, I mean, Australia was a giant jail too.
Yeah.
So we're all descendants from rat bags.
What's the slur that you said?
A rat bag.
Rat bag.
A dirt bag.
Um, what about the, um, they have originies?
Yeah.
Well, they're the good ones.
Could we have a moment of silence for what they've gone through?
Do you have any charities for the average and these people that you like to support?
I don't.
No.
Do you, uh, anything you want to do to help with the average and he's just push in,
tighter?
There's a really good brand called House of Dizzy.
That's an indigenous female, um, and constantly and they have sick earrings that I love.
Good.
I think we should support that.
Uh, on my podcast, we support the indigenous, uh, black owned businesses.
That's good.
And more, uh, and better Chinese restaurants and Los Angeles.
Happy Chinese New Year.
Thank you.
I want to know what pop, that's what popular people do.
Popular.
Popular kids.
Are you joking?
All the unpopular freaks were getting down weird.
What you're talking about are the artists.
Yeah.
I was the, I was, uh, the captain of the drama club.
Yeah.
I got a thick glasses and I had longer front teeth.
I got them, um, shaved off just the front teeth.
Mm.
Like a minor grandeur.
You know, how would she like shrinks them?
That's what I did.
You had to like buck teeth.
A really buck.
How old are you?
You got them shaved.
After radio, not one.
So in radio night, I have longer teeth and then radio not to slightly shorter teeth.
You know, I noticed.
You didn't.
I, I didn't notice the difference, but I noticed the little, I noticed this friend
too longer and I tell you something.
I, I, my first girlfriend had two missing teeth and, uh, well, she did after she started
speaking up poorly to me.
And I, no, no, she had to retain her with two fake teeth.
I'm a man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I've loved character teeth ever since, gaps, long things.
It's good.
I just always was like, eh, I wish.
And then I went to the dentist, Sally, my dentist, and I went, oh, it's always bugged
me that I've long front teeth.
They like catch on my lip and stuff and she went, I can do it.
I didn't know that it was so easy to do.
I thought, oh, I'm just going to accept this about myself.
Then Sally went, I can fix that for you.
Are you going to have surgeries unless you already have and I don't want to talk about,
but I just met somebody for the first time.
I think I'm going to do something.
They said that or you said that.
I, for the first time, think there's something I'm going to do.
What are you going to do?
I think I'm going to do stem cells under my eyes.
Oh, yeah.
Have you done that?
You know, you've done it.
Yeah.
Wait, I've just, they just, they do, um, micro needling and then they put stem cells in
the raw skin.
Yeah.
I'm doing both of those things.
I'm going to do, I think.
That's so surgery.
It's, it's cosmetic work.
It's needles and injections.
Yeah.
No, no injections.
Stem cells.
Oh, you're getting them injected.
I'm going to do, I think I'm going to do morpheus eight.
Do you know about this?
That is good.
Have you done it?
Mm-hmm.
Not an injection though.
And then I might, when you go to these places, I was doing it because I wanted it.
Don't get you.
Don't get you.
I don't know how insecure I should be.
I know.
They, did they map your face and go, this is everything that's wrong?
Um, I don't know if they map my face, but they pointed out some flaws and I go, uh,
I'm looking myself different.
I, I look at myself, I don't even want to say what they are.
I look at myself differently.
It was, it was kind of like so intense.
Yeah.
And she suggested a couple of things and I'm like, no, I'm okay.
That's, that's not what my value lies.
Yeah.
But then we're like, I'll throw some, some little, I'll throw some babies under my eyes.
Yeah.
Do you have a, you heard about the salmon sperm?
I've seen the salmon sperm.
Do you think that's, do we think it works?
I've tried, I've tried like when I eat salmon, I lick its dick a little bit.
Um, it grosses me out.
Yeah.
Have you done it?
Yeah.
But again, I just, do you have picture, can I put up, do you have pictures of what you
look like?
If not, well, I'll Google it right.
I like what it is.
No, no, it doesn't.
It has, when you get the, oh, no, I think that when they injected, it's different.
I just get my cranedeling where they ripple my skin off and then they go and my raw skin
and then it heals.
Have you seen when people inject the, this, this is the real thing, by the way, the salmon
sperm.
It looks like, I don't know how to say this other than, you know, when you watch national
geographic stuff and a lot of those people, they have like, I think it scars that they
gave themselves, like tribal things, like the raised skin.
Yeah.
Ooh.
Yeah.
I wonder how long that lasts for.
I don't know.
And then I saw CO2 lasers.
Have you seen this one?
No.
I mean, it just, there's two, it's too much.
It burns here.
It looks terrifying.
I'm quite expensive.
Yeah.
That's why I think I might do it in trade.
Trade for what?
I think I might, I want to talk to you about it.
I was, I might want to have you come to the place and film me getting these things.
A little cosmetic.
Yeah.
Where are you going?
Are you allowed to say, so I have a good place.
I do.
I have a place I want to go.
Where do you go?
And see Christina.
She's wonderful.
The place that I am new look.
Sure.
Oh, sure.
That's pretty on the nose in it.
You know what it is?
Are you just saying?
No, I just said sure.
Because I'm sure that's true.
It's a new look.
You're saying you have a new look?
Well, you will after you go, no?
I don't know.
You have a perfect, beautiful face though.
That's why I said to her.
You don't need it.
Oh, I don't do that.
This culture is fucking awesome, really.
I never thought I would do it until I went to this place.
I just wanted to do something for my skin.
I don't care.
They told me so many things.
They tell you so many things.
There's so many things I could do.
But Christina's really nice.
She doesn't tell you things.
She goes, you look great, Sam.
Get out of here.
Well, I don't know if she would say that to me.
She would.
Sam, not everybody looks great when they go in.
You look great though.
But I do know they do, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they,
they weigh down.
I, I have a different perspective of cosmetic work over the past five years.
Tell me.
I just have friends that have gotten stuff done and you would maybe never know.
I think it's fine if it makes you feel good, sure.
But I do think, okay, there's the micro version of it, which is personal,
which is like if it makes you feel good, go get all the sandwiches you want in your face.
But then there's the macro level.
Which is like why society putting all these pressures on us to look younger and blah, blah,
blah, blah.
And that's not good.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't.
I think maybe I haven't been around it.
It's not for maybe a little man, but I don't have any feeling of like societies trying
to make me.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe because you're a boy.
Yeah.
But in nine perfect strangers, I just do a lot of research about that because that's
her whole deal.
Right.
It's really sad.
Will you tell me about Jason Segal?
Because in he is the best, he's the best.
I don't have, I don't have any wedding photos of me and my husband, but I have, why?
We never got married because of COVID, but we have a wedding photo of me and Jason Segal
on the wall because we had a prop photo.
And so that's my wedding.
Why not put his face on it?
Why would I cover up Jason Segal's face?
I'm sorry, man.
I'm a big fan of yours, too.
We should go hiking sometime.
You should.
Oh, he's a wonderful human.
Oh, I was talking about your husband.
Oh, yeah.
He's also a wonderful human being.
People say that him and Jason have similar vibe.
What's the Jason movie about?
It's a marriage couple that are both trying to murder each other and then a third party
in Bates.
It's based on a foreign film, Buck West's film.
Is it a Swedish film or a Finnish film?
I don't know, things.
I should have put this up quickly.
Called The Trip.
It's based on another movie called The Trip.
Let's just say that.
It's based on another movie called The Trip.
It's a trip movie with the two guys.
What's his name?
Steve Cougan?
Isn't that the trip?
Yeah.
It's a different trip.
The movie that I described, that's the trip.
Do you laugh when you were with Jason Siegel, but you're doing a horror?
It's so hard not to laugh.
He's so funny.
When he gets into that zone, when we were...
Turn this a little bit different, pointing away, sorry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When we were just doing, like, when we were improvising and bickering as a couple, it's
like watching an athlete at their best.
It's like watching Michael Jordan, you know, you're just in the presence of greatness.
Do you laugh with...
Who else?
Who is tough to not laugh with?
Do it Lewis.
Really funny.
The original was Norwegian and Swedish.
Thank you.
The trip?
Yeah, they were in our trip.
It's Norwegian.
It's on Netflix.
It's based on a Norwegian movie called The Trip.
You can cut that in there wherever you want.
Cut it in there.
Didn't you say to say things like that?
You've been doing it all the time.
Yeah, but you just said it.
Don't like gaslight me.
But you've been saying it.
You've been going, oh, quick swipe to this and all the way.
I'm literally asking.
Yeah, I mean, such a bully, Jesus Christ.
I'm literally asking...
I just said editing.
But it's already in.
But we're set...
This is all in.
I know, but when you want to put it where I originally said, okay, what do I...
Whatever you want.
Oh, you know what?
You're pregnant.
Oh, you know what?
You can't eat capsic.
Jason Seable.
Julia.
No, I'm trying to think.
I was trying to say, hey, John Michael, when we first bring up the trip, and I say, Steve
Cougan, will you please put up a poster of the Norwegian Swedish film The Trip?
And then when we could come back, is that good?
Yep.
Have you ever had three movies come out?
No.
Has anybody?
Probably.
These are three theatrical release movies coming out within like three months of each other.
I know, man.
Can you believe?
And you're going to be giving birth from the looks of you in an hour.
At the same time.
A full release.
Nice.
And the fifth, if you include the conception.
Or the placenta.
Oh, do you...
Is that...
People eat that, right?
You have to give birth to the placenta, dude.
I'm not insane.
No one tells you these things.
What does that mean?
Isn't that...
The boobs start leaking.
I feel like when my...
started leaking.
You're not supposed to say that?
It's a racial slur.
F***.
Yes.
Rikolas.
It's a racial slur, really.
Of course.
Lewis.
Come on.
Get your head out.
I'm being serious.
F***.
Is it?
Is it really?
Sorry.
Okay.
When your nipples start...
Okay.
Cut that up, then.
I really didn't know.
I really didn't know.
What race?
I don't know, but I think it's Asian of some kind.
It is.
It's a really...
I believe it's Asian.
Okay.
I really need to not abbreviate nipple anymore.
I've got...
I've got to tell you that for weeks.
When my nipples leak.
When my nipples leak.
Thank you.
It's so crazy.
That suddenly your body just does something different.
I assume it's similar to when boys have seen them come out for the first time.
I remember the day.
Is it weird?
It must have been so crazy.
I had been masturbating for years before I could come.
And nothing happened.
Nothing came out.
And I didn't know about it.
And then something came out.
That's so weird, no?
Turns out it's pretty natural.
I know, but do you freak out?
I used to not know what it was.
And I didn't even know it was sexual.
I just knew that if you touched long enough, it would feel good.
But then suddenly one day goo comes out.
That's wild.
Yeah.
And then I remember I used to do it.
And it would just go out on the carpet.
And I remember it because it was a chair I would sit in.
And I would just do it.
And I would always do it there.
And then I looked at it one day and it looked like maybe the carpet was burned
or a candle melted on it or something.
And there was just, and I intuitively knew, oh, I should be embarrassed.
I didn't know I should be embarrassed.
We just know shame.
We've got to feel shame.
Why chair?
I don't know.
Sitting when I was, it would be a place in the house that I would sit.
And when I would just sit there sometimes, I'd be like, oh, I guess I could do that thing
that feels good.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Just like to go in your arm.
Oh boy.
I also remember the first time, the first time it came out was when I was watching The Simpsons.
I feel like I said this on a podcast once because I used to just touch myself to the
scent that just I would watch in The Simpsons, you know, like let me have a, let me just
touch myself.
So when you're like, oh, I want to eat a snack and watch my favorite shows, like let's
do double pleasure.
Correct.
Sure.
And then it came out once and I was under a blanket and it came in the blanket.
But I really think the reason I became a comedian is because I started coming to The Simpsons.
Wow.
Do you remember which episode?
I would probably a lot.
It was the episode where it was a plan of the apes with Dr. Zeyes.
Oh, that's a good one.
I play the piano anymore.
Well, of course, you can while I couldn't before, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Did you make that sound?
That's such a young age.
No, you didn't.
That was, that was not, no, I did not, I never about me coming.
Sorry.
Yeah.
We're disgusting.
Thank you for asking, though.
Sorry.
What were we talking about before we got into that?
I don't really know.
I'm so sorry.
Delete all of that.
It's fine.
I don't worry about it.
I'm thinking every other time again.
So your nipples were leaking and now you know how your body works.
And that's what it's like to have three movies coming out.
Yeah.
Do you feel like you're going to have to do a lot of press before the baby comes because
what are you doing?
I think I'm going to South by, but I'll be like weeks away from giving birth.
So that's TBD.
I can't go to Europe, which is annoying.
Do you like going to Europe for press stuff?
Yeah.
I can't go.
What's that?
It'd be better be cute, you know what I mean?
Wait, wait, wait.
She will be.
She's a baby.
When you go, when, when, when, when people who do like big movies, they do press, they fly
all over the world.
Yeah.
First class.
That's right.
Do you.
Do you not want to?
Do you not want to?
They might send me in a private jet because a commercial plane will let me on.
Really?
Two pregnant.
Interesting.
Yeah.
And no, when you say you're saying you're not going to Europe, is it because you want to
go to Europe or do you like doing that stuff?
I'll be too.
I love going to you.
I really want to go, but I'll be too pregnant.
My doctor will let me go.
No, I'm saying, if you weren't pregnant, what is it that you like about it?
Do you like being in Europe or do you like, could you explain to me what a press tourist
not pregnant feels like when you go to different countries?
It is pretty hectic, but I'd love Europe so much.
I love flitting around Paris and Italy and, you know, do you make a trip of it?
Or do you go do work and leave?
I try to make a trip of it unless I have to work afterwards or something, but I'll try
to extend.
Are you now because you're giving birth?
Are you going to be done as an actress and just be a mother?
Who knows?
Really?
Probably not.
No.
I doubt it.
Right?
That would be crazy.
But who knows?
Maybe some weird, I'll have some hormonal shift and I'll go, you guys, that was my swansong
amount.
Have you been wanting a baby?
Yeah.
But I never thought I'd be like ready and then one day I went.
Did you guys try to get pregnant?
First girl.
Really?
Yeah.
So it was a choice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm almost 30 and I feel like if I don't have a baby soon, it'll be too late.
No.
People live forever these days.
I live so much.
Have a baby.
I live so much.
Have a baby.
You do?
I want a baby.
Why?
I want a family.
I want to come home to somebody, at least somebody's.
I want to be making stuff and when I first moved out here, I'm like, oh, I want to
make stuff.
And this is my dream.
And I still want to make stuff.
But I now realize, oh, that's just a thing to do.
I felt this way for probably five years now.
Maybe since COVID.
But I don't like, what for what?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's awesome making stuff.
Amazing collaborating with people.
I love doing stuff with people and laughing with people and being proud of something.
And then you do it.
And then it's like, and then what?
Yeah.
Just fucking groundhogs day.
You know?
Well, you want to like work to live, not live to work, okay?
Mm-hmm.
And we're so lucky because we get to like, it's not even work.
It's just so fun.
But.
Yeah.
Like, what's your real purpose?
That kind of thing.
Um.
You're daddy.
Yeah.
And I'm obsessed with him.
And this is the segue, you know?
Uh-huh.
It's the gateway, baby.
Could you tell me, uh, uh, I kind of skip past this stuff, but I want to hear.
When I do stuff where I need to be intense and there hasn't been much where that's been
the case, um, I feel this way also like with standup.
When I have to be funny, sometimes I don't want to have to be funny.
Uh, I'm not funny.
Is that funny or the?
Uh, well, it used to be a burden and what I've accepted is, oh, I won't be funny today.
Yeah.
But that in itself is always really funny.
I, at least it's honest, it's present, it's like, it's something.
Yeah.
I agree.
Like, I, I don't go on stage thinking I have to be funny and-
Because when people try to be funny, it's not funny.
When people try to be anything that they're not locked into, it does, yeah.
That's why I was saying this is shaking and not feeling it like you really have to feel
the thing.
Yeah.
Just go.
But when I go on stage, I don't have to be anything.
I could be whatever version I am in a movie, well, in a movie you can't.
You have people telling you what they need from you.
Yeah.
So when you have to be intense like that, what do you, do you, are you able to just turn
it on?
Kind of.
I think it's, there's no, it's like, um, I'm sure when you walk up on stage and do standup,
there's no turning back.
You just have to go 100, you know what I mean?
But I could go any way that's honest to me.
Right, right.
I'm not playing the character.
I think it's the same.
As long as it's honest, it'll be good.
And then also because it's maybe I can do a lot of stuff again.
But yeah, you just have to go a thousand percent, especially in a movie like this where
there's so many, because of the comedy aspect of it and everyone else is such a character.
If I'm not super grounded in playing the-
Straight.
The stakes of it, it doesn't work.
So yeah, I just have to be so afraid.
Are there times where, uh, who was it, who was Ben, who would direct you as a performer?
Matt.
Matt, where there be times where Matt would have to come to you and say, hey, this needs
to be more grounded.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Because your energy was elevated or because it was lost.
Did that question make sense?
Yeah.
No, totally.
The first one, not so much on the second one, but on the first one.
We didn't really know, or at least I didn't really know what we were making in terms of
like the tone of the film, because the way it read, the script is so great, but it could
have been, and I think this is why the guys were so great, because they found, they told
a very fine line in terms of tone of when it's meant to be funny, when's it scary, when's
it grounded, when's it real, really hard to do.
But on the day, when we were shooting it, I didn't know, oh, are we going to do this
in a comedic sense, or are we going to play this really real?
Do we want it to be super over the, like, is it a campy moment?
I was a bit like, what should we do?
And so I just gave them different versions of it.
Throughout?
Yeah.
So you didn't know the tone truly until you watched it.
Yeah, but I don't know if...
Really?
I didn't, I didn't.
I knew that it could go different ways.
Like, for instance, the ending of the first one...
It's very lyrical.
Not really, but the, any of the first one, I remember, it wasn't written that I laugh,
but I just said to them, I was like, can I do one more take where I just piss myself
in this room, like, where I just find the culture?
You were talking to your husband.
And everyone's gone, everyone's exploded, and I, like, I just start laughing, I was like,
I think I need to, I need to give the audience like a breath of fresh air at that point,
but that wasn't written, so we were kind of finding...
But that...
You know, had a...
That comedic choice didn't cannibalize the grounding of it.
That's it.
There is a version that I did where I'm, like, so shocked in that moment, and, like,
freaking out and crying, but in the edit, they were like, oh, her laughing at how ridiculous
the situation is is what it needs to be.
Could you tell me how Ben would say, hey, we need to be more grounded?
Matt.
Matt, sorry.
Will you tell me how he would say that to you?
He wouldn't say it like that.
How would he...
He's really good at notes.
Well, actually, I would say at the beginning, I'd go, Matt, you can tell me, because I do
go, I can overact, I can be, I can go to a 10.
And so I'll let directors know if the bat be like, don't feel bad to tell me.
I say this, but when I meet someone, especially on TV, where it's guest directors, often,
I say the same thing.
I'm gonna be big.
It's what I am, and I am very comfortable, just...
I ask them to say, will you please not like, will you be as direct as possible, say,
it's too much, bring it like, because to be here and to bring it up, I don't know what
you want me to do.
But here, I know how to do less, you know, more could be an infinite direction of more.
No, Matt's great.
And he'll always come from a place of like logic.
So he makes the actors feel like they know that it's not just a note.
It's confusing when someone gives you a note, but you don't really know why it's there.
Or...
Could you give me examples?
And I could give specific moments if that makes it easier.
But is there an example that you could say where they say, hey, let's make it more grounded?
Or funny, but I don't think that's ever, I feel it would always be the other way.
You would always say to bring it down.
I don't know.
You're on over your dead body with Jason.
Oh, I remember that.
I think you told me that.
He directed.
Awesome.
Awesome.
Yeah.
He would pitch like joke ideas to me, which I was, I love so much.
And I'm so glad one that I could keep my Australian accent because I knew there was going
to be a lot of improv and improvising in Americans tricky.
Because when you learn your lines, it's easier to learn the phonetics, but when you're talking,
it's not.
No, just that, like improv, it's, you know, whatever comes to mind.
And the first thing that comes to mind is some weird Australian thing.
And then I have to do like American math and be like, how would an American say like,
oh, you're fucking cooked.
Like how would an American be like, you're fucking crazy.
You know, and then it kind of, and in the moment's gone.
So I wanted to just not have to worry about that.
And then I went and did UCB for a few months, really?
Yeah.
So fun.
Yeah.
Like just in, like with 101.
I did 101, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, 1.
I did, I went through those twice.
I love it.
It's so fun.
Yeah.
It is the most whimsical part of my week.
You did it because of the movie?
Yeah, I was like, I need a, I've never done, I never went to any of those, and I've
went to school for acting or anything.
And I love working with comedians and, same.
They seem to have a toolkit that they can access.
And I, and it going to UCB was great because I could exercise that muscle because I could
always, I'd always have fun and be silly.
But to be able to just really go back and forth with Jason or Juliet and have done like,
just drills at UCB.
It was so great.
Were people in the class, did anybody in the class think like I was cool that you were
there?
I got some weird looks.
Yeah.
They're like, I get it.
But they would all like be really nice and then it was at the, the last class.
They'd be like, hey, can I get a photo, you know?
The last, Ben, you did the performances.
Oh, you didn't do them.
Why not?
I got scared.
Really?
Yeah.
I've been thinking about redoing, I have friends that are improvisers, this kind of improv
and stand up and they overlap, but they usually pick one or the other.
And I did an episode not too long ago with Lisa Gilroy, do you know her?
The great.
So funny.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen Ben Schwartz, like, four times or something, his show.
I want to get back into it.
I want to do live improv shows.
It's so fun.
That's my quiet dream is to be in an improv dream, but I need to get better.
So where I'm at at the moment is I could take classes again, or I might get a group of
people together and get a coach the way you did, like, I would do a while ago.
Can I join?
Yeah.
I'll be so happy.
And just like we meet at somebody's living or once a week, I just want to, it really is,
I just want to strengthen that again, and then I want to start doing shows.
I do reps.
Yeah.
I want to do reps.
My quiet dream is to do shows.
Quiet dream.
Want me to bleep it?
No.
I still want to know the, the, the, the redier not stuff, like, when you punch the kid in
the face, which isn't, is a, when you read that, is that a funny moment?
That's the only reason I did the movie because you were excited about that scene.
I read, she punches a kid in the face, no, it, yeah.
Did you laugh?
Yeah.
It's a funny moment, right?
Yeah.
But it's also you like, in that moment, you're like, fucking kill the fucking cat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's really intense.
You have to.
Or there are versions of that where it's funnier, they, like, what, what does that look
like?
Oh, gosh.
I can't really remember.
But again, it was one of those things where it was like, less playing the stakes and
more, oh, still playing the stakes.
But in a more like bewildered way, instead of a, like, angry at the child, like, so frustrated,
it was more like, what the fuck am I then saying that was what the sillier version would
have been?
The take, I feel like that's what I would have done.
I wonder if there's, yeah, that kind of movie is, I think, really hard to have consistent
throughout.
And Ben and Matt.
Matt.
Who's Ben?
What's your GP's name?
Brett.
Brett.
Matt Tyler.
Credit to them.
I think it's, because you said you didn't know what the tone was necessarily.
Okay.
I knew what the tone was, but there was so many different versions of what it could be.
I want to know if they knew it was that or they found that by the end, because you know
when I, another movie I just saw that, that is different, but does such a good job
is send help.
Did you see it?
Mm-hmm.
You did see it?
I'm glad, sorry.
It's okay.
I don't know what it is.
Is that the name of the movie?
Yeah.
Rachel makes Adam's movie.
It just came out.
Oh, I really want to see that.
It's so good.
Yeah.
And it's, yeah, like the funny isn't from silly and it's not from punchlines.
The funny is from the scary, believable, dark situations where you see how humans could
actually behave.
And I think it's got to be tough as a performer who's not directing as well to like get what
that is.
Because like you said, you give so many different takes, this is a completely different movie
than this.
Yeah.
And like to have somebody guiding you and I like really, I'm trying to ask to like better
understand, I really want to be a director.
That's what I really want to do.
How do you tell people what something is if it's just in here other than saying, let's
do it a different way?
I just, I don't even think I could articulate what I'm asking you.
But like what you guys did in that movie is you have to have the bumpers up the entire
time.
You can't ever go in the gutter and change what this movie is because that's almost
like saying, we're just joking.
You were never just joking.
No, never just joking, but there are like, I guess different ways you could play the
same emotion.
And some of them may be more lend themselves to comedy rather than the cause of cannibalizing
the world.
No, no, never.
I think if it's not, it doesn't feel truthful, it's not going to work.
But there are, and this is why I think comedians are so talented is that they have that sort
of innately in them.
And then you just can see them play it really straight and they're so like Jason is so
funny.
He's so good.
Being completely honestly terror, like full of terror, it's the funniest thing.
I think his superpower is his vulnerability.
Oh, yeah.
And like, I think like every choice he makes is intentional and like he does probably
a part of him.
I mean, I don't know about this where he's wanting to kill people.
I've never seen him in that camera.
But I feel like, oh, I feel like I don't know him and I'm aware I don't really, but I
have this foolish idea of like, oh, I feel like I know what type of person he is based
on the choices he makes.
Oh, you got to hang.
You got to hang with him.
He's one of the dream guests.
He's so tall.
He's, you're going to need two couches.
Yeah.
I know.
When I saw you post on your story, I don't forget what the meme was, but the scene from
the first one.
What was the meme we're talking about where they get the rich guy drives away?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he said me when I'm swearing.
Yeah.
Um, when my, when my phone won't connect to my car.
Is that a scripted moment?
No.
What did it say?
Just be angry?
It said like fuck shit.
Fuck was something.
And I was like, I'm just going to say all the swears, I think I can say.
When you saw that movie, did you think nailed it?
No.
But when I watched it again recently, I could really appreciate it.
But at the time it was, I think because you, when I finished a job, especially back then,
I think I was a lot more insecure and I would second guess, oh, I should have done that
that way or I could have done it this way or I could have done better and blah blah blah.
And when I watched it, that's all I could think about in a sort of self-obsessed.
Are you not, you're not that way anymore?
No.
I can watch it with a little bit more objectivity and also be aware that the voice is lying to
me, you know, that that's just, you're trying to take me out.
It's not.
A lot of actors say they can't watch themselves.
I think that's fucking mental.
Yeah, you got, how do I learn?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's hard because you, you are like, I want to change it, but I can't.
It's done.
No, it's done.
But yeah, especially I didn't go to school or anything for it.
Didn't you do a lot of soap opera stuff?
So many.
Yeah.
I've heard people say that's school, that's school for them.
Look, yes.
I sort of had to learn how to act after that.
I was just playing a, like I was cast as a bratty teenager and that's what I was doing.
Oh, you did as a teenager?
Mm-hmm.
How old?
I was like, I think I was 13 or 14 when I did my first like drama, you know.
And then, what's the name of it?
The Australian soap?
It's a home in a way.
Home in a way.
Yeah.
I know about that because of my ex Betty.
Oh, yeah.
Did she watch?
I don't know if she watched, but she, whenever we would watch stuff, she would be like,
you know, they started and I guess a ton of people didn't know, right?
They all did.
Yeah.
I found, I was on set one day and they had the same sets for 50 years.
They haven't changed it.
There was a high school set and there's like a locker that I went to, a high school
set and I found some sides like a script from Heath and Heath Ledges.
He was in it.
He was on there.
Yeah.
And then I just put it back.
It's probably still there.
Wow.
What do you want to direct?
Anything that I like.
Mm-hmm.
Would you have to write it or could someone write something in you?
Someone could write something I would direct it.
If I really connected with it, I'm writing a couple of things at the moment.
I've written two things, talking about things that I've never made.
I've made stuff.
I mean, it's all like, it's just stuff I put on YouTube, basically.
But stuff that I've never made or talked about, publicly, really, I have two things in
a room.
I'm just saying, I have two things and I'm writing two things, but they're all things that
I've done.
Comedy?
Comedy?
Comedy?
All.
All dramatic.
All comedy.
One of which is maybe a little bit of both.
But funny stuff.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
She's amazing.
You'll probably watch it back and the belly will be like this.
When is it a month from now?
Yeah, April 8th.
Okay.
So one of them's what?
One of them is more serious, but I think like, I think anything I do is going to be funny.
I don't mean other people think it's funny necessarily.
I just mean like, in my world, like, it'll be fun.
It'll be, there's laughing.
If you find it funny, it'll be funny.
I don't know how to, I don't know how you could, I know that those, uh, uh, uh, Jason
Seagull talked about that, uh, Chad Apatow told him that he's very specific and if he ever
wants to make stuff, he'll need to write it.
And that inspired me to start writing.
Well, that's interesting.
Um, I don't know how, how do you do stuff if you don't make it?
I mean, I, I know everybody has their own path, but like, I can't imagine being, I mean,
I've been cast in a few things in 15 years.
Like every single time it happens, like, how did I get cast in this?
How do you get cast in something?
I'm not exaggerating.
I've had, I've had maybe 10 auditions since COVID, like, how do you get, but you could just
make anything.
Yeah.
You can.
This, this podcast has kind of given me that, like, I feel like an opportunity now that
I've met people, like I'm like, I have friends that do this, like, like, yeah, I just
want to write stuff and make stuff.
I also like the idea of making stuff that people don't know is, uh, not real, you know
what I mean?
Oh, little gotcha moments.
Kind of, yeah.
Like what driven walking Phoenix pretend to be a rapper?
I remember somebody just brought this up to me.
I remember seeing him on late night and I, I think there's a documentary about it.
Yeah, it's so great.
Is it?
What do you know what it is?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
I want to watch that.
Yeah.
You're watching it and thinking, oh, is this real?
I don't know anything about it.
Yeah.
And he, because the dedicate, the commitment to that bit is so great to convince the world
that walking Phoenix is going to be a rapper, like, you have to go a thousand percent and
he did it.
It's so funny.
And is it known that it's not real?
I think so.
In the document.
I'm still here.
I'm still.
Yeah.
It's so good.
Yeah.
I think I want to watch that tonight.
You should do that.
Yeah.
Going on late night and like, going on interviews and like just being a thing full scorched
earth.
He could potentially ruin his career.
Yeah.
I remember that being a thing, right?
For a law.
For a little cheeky ball with his friend.
Was it around Gladiator days?
No, it was far after that.
Gladiator was like 2001.
I think that was like 2014.
I saw him on Theo's podcast and liked him so much.
Okay.
Joaquin.
Yeah.
Wolfy Wolf.
What does that mean?
Hot.
Is he a hot guy?
I think so.
Is he known for being a hot guy?
I mean, he's a, I guess he's good looking.
But like, he's, I didn't think he was a hard thrive.
I think so.
I think so.
I just watched him and something else too.
I, I, if I were to do something that wasn't a comedy, I would have no gauge of if I'm
doing it right or not.
Do you connect it at all?
Really?
What do you mean?
I, if I feel like if I'm laughing or I want to laugh, I feel like, oh, this is fun.
Yeah.
But if it's not comedy, um, as a, like, like, I did, I did that one Amazon show that
was saying that was not a comedy.
I had no idea until I watched it if any, how do you know if you, oh, that's interesting.
Yeah.
I have a, I have a, I have a bad gauge of, but you can tell when something feels like
honest to you, like, if you're in a real life moment with someone as a performer.
Yes.
But I'm saying if I were to direct it as a performer.
Yes.
I know I'm, I'm being honest.
Oh.
I don't know if that's interesting.
I don't know if that's moving the story along.
I don't know if anybody believes me.
Oh, I'm sure it's perfect.
Thank you.
But I ask.
Oh, as a director.
Yeah.
Have you noticed anything when people are directly in comedy or non-comedy?
Is there anything that you could, like, that you've noticed a difference of?
Um, wait, a difference in, like, the direct.
Yeah.
Like, if you're, if this is a comedy and you don't feel funny, you know, it's not working.
Do you know what?
Sometimes with, like, with radio, not, it doesn't feel funny.
But I know it's, it's funny, but I have to be so scared.
In order for it to be funny.
What does that mean?
Like, the joke doesn't work unless I'm fully, um, oh, you being playing scared.
Yeah.
So it really doesn't feel funny.
But I know that if I'm full of fear and say this funny line, it will be funny, but it
doesn't feel funny.
How do you get full of fear?
I don't know, just make your limbic system go nuts.
It's not crying, shaking, hyperventilating.
Have you seen that clip of Jack Nicholson in The Shining?
Probably.
I've watched him do.
You know what I'm talking about?
He's, like, hyping himself up before.
The behind the scenes.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Maybe you put it up at least picture and picture where he's, like, jumping up and down
with the axons, like, yeah, yeah, I, I've worked with people.
I think I used to, like, jump up and down and, like, get out of breath because, you
know, you can get, like, yeah.
But I think now I get kind of internal.
I remember.
I get, like, I'm just trying to focus on feeling fucking anxious.
Are you picturing something?
No, it's more just a, it's a feeling, you know, when you're like, I'm so anxious.
Yes.
I can't even, it's, it's that feeling.
I try to avoid it.
I made two.
It's incredible.
Like your performance in those movies, I don't think I've ever seen any, like, the, the
fear thing.
Yeah.
I've never seen it that it's so real and good and locked in.
And that's why I think I'm, I'm being long-winded trying to figure out, obviously, it's
you.
You're the one doing it.
How much is a director and what are they saying to get that out of you?
What are you doing to get into that space?
It's like, it's, and it's non-stop.
And then there's the moments like in the first one when the, when the, when the dad is coming
back after and he was going to come get you, do you know what I'm talking about?
You were not scared.
You were confident.
She was confident that she could handle this now.
Story-wise, I don't know why you made that choice.
I don't know.
It's still a scary thing.
Your eyes kind of went, not dead, but your eyes just, yeah.
And it was so powerful.
I were wounded twice and I'm, I mean, I am curious about the why, but that's not what
I'm, I'm asking, I guess, more the how of like, I think the why and how is the same.
I didn't want to, I didn't want to play the same beat, the same in terms of fear.
I didn't want her to just have be scared and be screaming the whole time.
I thought that would get really boring.
So I had to sort of like map out different versions of fear essentially.
Like, okay, like, there's a level of denial in this and she's like almost like bargaining
with what's happening.
Like, this isn't fucking happening this evening.
And then like, there's a level of acceptance to it where she's like, okay, I'm going to,
I'm terrified, but I'm going to fight back.
And then there's like, I'm pissed and I'm scared, but I'm mad about it.
And then, you know, just like trying to find different colors.
And that's what made it fun for me to explore.
Do you do that on the day or do you map out so you know?
I map it out.
I have those little colored cards.
And I write down every ridiculous.
I have those little three by whatever cards.
And I write down every scene and I put it on the wall.
And you say accepted acceptance?
Yeah, yeah.
And I'll write kind of where her emotional arc is going.
I mean, it's, it's a, it's something to study.
It's so.
Thanks.
It's so, it just seems so hard to do.
You know, it seems so hard to do because that's what I was getting it before too.
Like what if you're not, what if you're not tapped into that, but that's not an obstacle
for you?
It's just not an option.
Is it?
You just have to, you just have to, and I think I mentally prepared before.
Like I've read the script.
I know what I have to do.
All right.
It's going to get, it's going to get gnarly.
We're going to have to go all in and I'm going to be tired and it'll be a fine.
We're there because you know, I have to imagine it's going to shut like, like everything
else is completely out of order.
Yeah.
For their times where you asked help with the director, it's like, hey, this is too much
of this in a row.
Like do you need a break?
Yeah.
I would definitely have, oh, no, but there, there was times when I said, oh, can we do my
coverage first?
Because I want to get all the screaming and crying out now.
And then you can turn around and the actors have witnessed what I'm going to be doing.
Like what's going to be in the movie?
Yeah.
And then if it's like by hour six, and then it gets a bit stale, you know, and I know,
okay, well, the cameras at least aren't on me.
I'll still try and give it my all to be a good scene partner.
But if it's not as great, it's okay.
Do you always want to go first or is it sometimes like, hey, I don't have it right now.
Let me find it by going second.
Oh, usually I'll just say whatever if you've lit it that way, I'll be a service to the
team.
But sometimes you know, if I know like, I'm going to be sat in a chair and I need to be
crying and screaming and being insane for three days straight in a studio.
Can you do mind doing my coverage first?
Do you ask like for, for really intense ones to do less takes?
No, just can I go first because I know that the more fresh it is, the better it'll be.
Does that mean that you also prefer or do they prefer to have your clothes be the first
of those?
Yeah, ideally, if they can.
Yeah, this is a stop.
Like, I want to hear about this.
Okay.
Yeah, if they can, that would be great.
And maybe as a director, just checking in with an actor, because I think maybe some
actors don't, I tell them beforehand, but it is hard when you walk on set and you realize,
oh, they've lit it for the other actors.
And I'm going to have to really bring it for a while before they turn around.
And if it's okay with, you know, obviously if the other actor has to do equally, it's
intense stuff for them.
Nobody would do what you were doing.
But, you know, in Radio Not, it was a lot of me being insane and everyone else being
like, so I thought, okay, I think it's okay if I ask to do this.
Are you happy with the second one?
Yeah, I think so.
I was so much fun.
The second one was not for better or worse, but the second one was funnier to me.
Yeah, I think it is funnier.
The first one is a horror movie that is funny.
And this one feels like a horror comedy.
Yeah, I agree.
I can concur.
There's a scene that it's kind of like, I mean, as far as the device is concerned, it's
just like a cut to, but like a comedy cut to, but I don't remember what the setup was,
but it was right before you guys were maced.
And it was like, you know, my sister will, you know, like she'll take care of me.
And then she goes punching the air for a little bit.
That was the one thing where I'm like, that's when I'm like, oh, this is a comedy.
Yeah, that was funny.
Yeah.
That was purely just funny.
I think after I have this scene, send help and then this where you're not here, I come
is that what it's called?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I started like, I think I want to start watching horror movies like I think I might want
to do something in that genre.
Well, it's good for people starting out and directing too, because you can make them
for less money and I don't know.
I've heard that too.
Do you have an opinion on that?
Many people like starting horror, they're cheaper.
It's easier.
I don't love having them.
And people love having them.
They make more money for a less budget and they're kind of a troll.
But why less budget?
There's so much effects.
Dude.
Tell me about it.
And also, okay, I was covered in blood so much that sometimes I'd forget.
And we were filming near Niagara Falls.
And I hadn't seen the falls before.
And so I went, oh, I'm just going to go a lunchtime.
So I couldn't take it off.
I forgot.
And I hopped in a van by myself with the driver named Tim.
And we got to Niagara Falls and I went, Tim, I'm covered in blood.
And he went, yeah, it'll be fine.
And then Tim just left me.
He was like, I'll do a lap, I'll be right back.
And so I was standing by Niagara Falls.
I put a hoodie on.
I'll send you a photo.
And I am so afraid of other people being afraid.
It was the weirdest feeling.
Because I knew if people got too close or sore.
They're recognizing from some help one.
They'd be like, this woman is in peril.
Someone has hurt her.
Yeah.
And I was so afraid of being like caught
that I like quickly tried to take a little selfie of me and the falls.
Oh, so you made it to the fall?
Yeah.
And all these tourists are walking around.
And I'm amongst them trying to hide my face.
Yeah, you can't hide your face.
It was a nightmare.
You're covered in blood.
Freakin' Tim.
And Tim came back and brought me back.
After what scene do you remember?
Yeah, it was the fighting one.
I looked insane.
You can't go to Niagara Falls like that.
You can.
Well, yeah, I guess I'll show you proof for the picture.
Yeah, that is a genre that is,
because it's what stage does your comedy sit on?
And it could be anything.
But to sit on that just seems cool.
I'm not educated in the horror space.
The horror movie scare, I get nightmares.
I'm scared to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Me too.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't a fan of them until I started being in them.
Did you watch some?
Yeah.
Do you have some that you like?
Yeah.
I like, I like the first scream.
And so that was really cool being in scream.
But you were in scream?
Yeah, in scream.
I don't remember.
I haven't seen a scene that came out.
Scream, six.
So many.
I'm the opening.
I'm like the,
like it killed.
It's more than that.
Dying is hard.
I haven't died until scream.
What's harder?
Dying or fake laughing?
I think I can fake laugh because you got to do that in life sometimes.
Let me see.
Um.
That's good.
Wow.
Yeah.
Let me see you die.
Oh, it's so hard, Rick.
Because when do you die?
Do you know what I mean?
Like if I'm like, oh, stab, stab, stab.
I have to decide.
You have to decide when the lights go.
And then it's like to keep my eyes open and you close your eyes, you close.
And then it's an afterhold my breath in a strange way.
Yeah.
And push, right?
Push?
Yeah.
I feel like when you do that, because if you just hold your breath, but if you hold
your breath and push, it's so hard to die.
Well.
Like what?
Yeah.
There's been some really bad death scenes, but I'm not going to bring them up.
We don't like to speak poorly about other people.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, Alvin, are you happy?
Are you a good boy?
Do you know about no-ming?
Is that where you fuck a girl with a big pointy hat?
No.
You're faking it.
No.
I heard about no-ming recently.
On the dark web, you can order, if you don't like someone, if they do a bad death scene
or something, you can order someone to put a bunch of no-ms in their house or outside
the house.
And that's specifically for, if you don't like somebody.
I don't know why you do it to someone who you like.
When I was growing up, I remember that was a thing, not specifically with no-ms, but
I remember there was a company that would go and put a whole bunch of flamingos around
your house.
Is this a thing that other people know about?
Do you know about this?
No way.
It was seen in real life.
It's like an internet legend.
There was a conversation.
Oh, it was like, it was a thing that you do.
People did it for people as a gift.
Like, hey, I got you flamingos for your house, so you can have for a couple of days.
No way.
I don't know.
I feel like that came out around when edible arrangements came out because I remember those
were gifts that people would send people.
I was going to say when edibles came out, it was high sending people flamingos.
Perhaps.
There's a correlation.
And then you can get a curse, no, which is a no filled with like rotten meat, so that
a bunch of pests come into your house with the no-ms.
Isn't that crazy?
Dark Web is nuts, man.
How do they get into your house?
I don't know.
I don't like it.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
I'm going to know me.
No, you can't.
Because you don't know where I live.
In your house.
This is my podcast studio.
Stop.
Do you have another house?
Right.
Yeah.
Okay, so that is your house.
But one day.
All right.
What else?
I don't know.
We didn't talk about Carolina, Carolina, which is a really great experience.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We talked about federal mass Aufmerde.
It's a big video because if it takes a different module, when you make an99 dollar present,
you will notice Weinstein videos are screwed around.
I know.
This is the third one.
Yeah.
It's the third one.
It's so nice.
It's not a horror.
It's a really horny, sexy, heist, Bonnie-im Clyde movie.
So that's another one of my favorite genres.
Bondуч Clyde, not this.
Yeah.
And I get to do a Southern accent in it, so fun.
Can I hear it?
No.
That's good.
That's Australian.
No.
That's good.
What did I have to say?
I had to say things like, can I have two tans for 20?
How do you do that?
Do you study that?
You take UCB class for that?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got a UCB accent.
No, I have a fabulous dialect coach.
You got two tans for 20?
Pretty good.
You got a good, more eyes on the, they say 10.
10?
Yeah.
Got good 10 for 20?
Two tans for 20.
Can't do it.
I have not.
What can do?
That's vanilla.
Can't do it.
All right.
Can't do voices.
You should say Liz.
She'll help you.
I will.
If you'll send it to me.
I'm starting to do classes.
I start taking singing classes because that's the other thing I can't do.
Really?
So classes.
I mean, I'm doing over Zoom with a woman.
But yes.
And I want to do, I would do that.
Send me the info.
Okay.
Liz, Himalstein.
Yeah.
I want to start.
She's great.
Developing talents.
Okay.
The most fun thing of being an actor, you get all these weird talents.
Yeah.
I mean, if you book something, then like to learn how to sword fight or something seems
awesome.
But I don't want to have to wait to book something.
I also have.
Get ahead of it.
Time.
G.
You're going to like horse ride and stuff?
No.
I've done it.
You can horse ride.
I can horse ride.
That's cool.
I'm pretty good at doing stuff.
You get the Southern accent.
Liz will teach you.
Horse ride.
Bob's your uncle.
I look to Jewish.
You can be the first one.
Thank you.
Dream big.
I have.
I have different dreams.
I want to be able to do.
I want to be able to do South African because I've had a couple of opportunities for some
reason.
So they ever guns a little like this.
No.
Yeah.
That was quite good.
Like almost Australian.
It's quite close to Australian.
There's been a couple of things where they wanted me, maybe, and I do it again.
I don't know if it's Australian or South African.
I don't really know.
I haven't you lose it.
There's been a couple of jobs like, oh, I was close if I was able to do a voice.
Really?
Yeah.
And South Africans come up a lot.
Twice.
Not a lot, but twice.
Yeah.
And I said, no, I didn't even submit for it.
Is it like a South African production?
Why is it South African?
I don't know.
I've just coincidentally been.
We bewildered.
I'm bewildered.
No.
Okay.
Lamoran has an amazing South African.
Oh, I bet he does.
He does it in a, in blood, something, something with Vin Diesel.
So movie he did.
He's so good.
He's so good.
He's so good.
I know him.
I worked with Max Greenfield and then, and he's different.
What?
This film called The Ballet.
And also, Lamoran was nearly going to do it, show with me, but then, didn't well.
The show never happened or he didn't do it.
He didn't do it.
And, but we stayed, friends.
Yeah.
He's one of my, one of my most talented friends.
He's so great.
Yeah.
Good rapper too.
Really?
I mean, of course.
Got the Mac 11.
I'm about to eat me some skittles.
My favorite color is great.
That's also my favorite flavor.
When I come through like a lifesaver.
I'm in a lifesaver.
It's got a circle in the middle, because if I choke on it, it's a lifesaver.
And that's how I breathe through my esophagus.
That's how I breathe.
Shout out stuff for love again.
Like it was.
It's real careful when you put it.
He never chokes.
Not even on a donut.
Got a hole in the middle, but it's big.
I ain't going to say the end word.
You need.
No, no, no.
I said, no.
Sorry.
The real end word is no.
Never say no.
Always say nigger.
Oh, no.
Oh, we say yes.
No, I'm saying like the yes and yes.
Oh, say yes.
Oh, sorry about it.
Oh, it's good.
It's good.
It's good.
Well, he wraps.
And he feels comfortable doing it.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's good.
Karina Karina.
Karin Karina.
Are you broken?
What's the movie with the Goldberg?
Where she could see the lights change.
That was called Karina Karina.
What's your third binding climb movie?
It's called Carolina, Carolina.
Yeah.
Sorry.
You don't like it?
No, I'm sorry to do my research well enough.
No, that's fine.
It's like, there's been no news about it.
But I want to start spreading the wood.
I have the dates of everything.
Unless you know them, I'm going to have them right here.
Oh, cool.
They come out.
Do you remember?
Uh-huh.
I have two.
March 20th.
Bosh.
Over your dead body.
April 24th.
Bosh.
We're taking May off.
May is just.
Baby, too.
Feen or baby?
That's it.
And then June comes around.
Hell yeah.
Carolina, Carolina.
Bosh.
Wow.
Good for you.
Come on.
Exciting stuff.
I'm very excited about the Jason Seagull movie.
And that's not a blanket statement.
I'm excited for all of them.
Wow.
You said blanket statement and the blanket fell off your chair.
Oh, sorry.
That was really cool.
How about that?
Um, ready or not, if you haven't seen it, you have to rent it.
Yes.
Not streaming anywhere, which is crazy in this day and age, but it's four bucks.
And it's one of, I think it's now one of my favorite movies.
Really?
I remember loving it and I didn't think much of it after that.
That's where I first saw you at least consciously.
Um, I was, I were wound so many times.
It's so, so good.
And I want to get in that genre now.
Um, Ray and I too is awesome.
It's, they're so good.
I'm, I'm really excited for you.
I don't really know you.
But like, I feel like we know each other now.
We know each other a bit.
We're both quite weird.
What's that?
We're both quite weird.
How are you weird?
I believe you are.
I don't.
You've just spoken to me for quite a while.
Yeah.
I just think you're a bully that started having sex too soon.
I mean that in a very derogatory way.
What does it mean?
Alcoholic.
Uh, ostr, Aussies are.
Well, they are.
There's, there's, there's, there's a, there's a, there's a safety that I feel and maybe that's,
maybe just, because I got lucky with who I've met.
At least women, uh, truly like Australian women, they like to joke and play and laugh.
Yeah, I was silly.
There's a, there's, there is something.
I guess you could call it weird.
I think, well, I think I'm a bit weird.
I believe you, I just know that you've seen very down for bits and I was surprised when
you said that you never did improv and that you just started taking those classes, or
at least for this movie.
But I have, after these two movies, I think you're talented and I was excited to have
this.
I'm a huge fan of yours.
I think you're, my eyes are like, sometimes they start to water when I give compliments
and I have to acknowledge it when I get embarrassed.
I think you're absolutely incredible and I'm blown away from what you did in these movies
and I'm sure it translates into Carolina, Carolina as well.
But like, I've never seen somebody do what you're able to do and it's genuinely inspiring
me to want to like get into that genre and that's why I'm asking you questions of how
do I talk to somebody to get what they got out of you?
And I don't really think I'll figure that out in a podcast but that was kind of my intention
of some of those questions.
I mean, save yourself some time and have people audition for you.
And then if you hire, do like the co and brothers, you know how they like don't give
notes.
I work with a lot of directors, I've worked with two directors that just don't give
notes.
They just hire people that they completely trust and go, great.
The very little that I've done, I've done with people whom what inspired me to do what
I did was based on seeing what they could do and just kind of milk and know like, oh,
they're capable of this.
Yeah.
And then how do you know how does somebody know that they're capable of doing what you
did in these movies?
Oh, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Until they've seen you in that movie.
I think that's also probably why people get into a genre and like Will Smith played a cop
all the time.
Like always really good at being a cop, you know, I mean, I'm sure he's good at other
things too.
But yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's good advice, like find people that could
do the thing, which is easier to write for that.
I think it's easier to write for somebody than it is to cast somebody.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
Thanks for doing this.
I'm going to have you sit there because I need to do a Polaroid.
Okay.
This was so fun.
Thanks.
I've been wanting to have you on for a little bit and I'm glad that I got to see this
before you came over.
It's been the best.
I'll try and get Jason on.
He's up to you.
Come on, Jamie.
I'm never going to ask him.
He's shooting right now.
But shrinking.
Well, no, a movie that he wrote.
He's also doing shrinking.
No, is it me?
Wow.
He's a busy boy.
Yeah.
What's his movie?
I don't know if people know about it, but well, talk to you about it a little bit in
music.
I'd stay there.
I want to do the Polaroid.
Scum.
Blown away.
Right.
Blue.
