00:00:10
that joke when he was here Sean Hayes is
00:00:12
the I think he's right up there with the
00:00:14
guy you'd want to uh uh sit next to at
00:00:18
an award show or something or he will go
00:00:21
into a restaurant he's there like he is
00:00:23

00:00:27
and funny yeah it's true I've seen him
00:00:29
at Koy
00:00:30
and that's where I saw him and we talked
00:00:32
about it on Smart list but I've seen him
00:00:33

00:00:36

00:00:53
for he was always like smoking me and
00:00:55
like the Emmys like we'd all be up for
00:00:57
supporting but I think one time he and I
00:01:00
got up for a Golden Globe and it was I
00:01:02
should have asked him this because it
00:01:04
was back when that supporting actor was
00:01:06
just actor on TV which is way harder so
00:01:09
you're up against everything so I think
00:01:11
it was me and him and then two people
00:01:14
from ER which is a drama and then
00:01:17
Gregory peek wow from Moby Dick a movie

00:05:35
I liked it so much I brought my wife
00:05:38
back the next day who's not a real
00:05:39
science fiction fan was mesmerized by it
00:05:42
so yeah and how it's like a very six
00:05:45
sense like if you don't know that all of
00:05:47
her flashbacks are really flash forwards
00:05:49
like I had to watch it again because I
00:05:51
thought it was so clever is that Amy
00:05:53
Adams Amy Adams and Jeremy Runner thank
00:05:55
God great great that was a great one I
00:05:58
love all that stuff you do mhm I'm into
00:06:01
UFOs I on my on my algo it's all about
00:06:04
UFOs and yeah and did you like how they
00:06:06
rebranded it to uaps
00:06:10
right and why does that help but because
00:06:13
I'm are we gonna get into it we gonna
00:06:15
let's do it I love it UFO to UAP that's
00:06:19
right so because because UFO it's almost
00:06:21
like we need to when politicians Rebrand
00:06:24
things or like people in this country
00:06:25
brand things it's because they're on to
00:06:27
you or something so UFO identified
00:06:30
flying object how is that different than
00:06:32
unidentified are aial phenomenon
00:06:35
phenomenon it's the same thing why did
00:06:37
we reand it which JLo is Jennifer Lopez
00:06:42
she switched it but I know what was
00:06:43
going on she was the same person yeah
00:06:46
yeah and you can identify her like that
00:06:48
it's very similar situation we
00:06:51
asked David told William Shatner one of
00:06:54
our guests that he believed in UFOs
00:06:58
William Shatner he 92 at the time he he
00:07:01
did a 10-minute thing about mirages in
00:07:03
the desert very clever very articulate
00:07:07
and I'll never forget that so when you
00:07:09
say you you hear
00:07:11
about what is mirages in the desert that
00:07:13
they exist or don't exist like well just
00:07:15
that of course you're going to see
00:07:18
things you can't explain you know I
00:07:20
think it was not pro little martians I I
00:07:24
can't believe there's not water you
00:07:26
know do you like Star Trek
00:07:31
no like I like the Star Trek movies by
00:07:32
the way I like the movies that JJ did
00:07:35
yeah but I just did I don't know the
00:07:37
history so I couldn't I don't know like
00:07:39
the relationship anyway I digress but
00:07:41
anyway UFOs yes I believe I want to know
00:07:42
what you believe in do you believe
00:07:44
there's aliens are here I totally
00:07:46
believe no I don't know that they're
00:07:48
here but I believe all the stuff that
00:07:50
we've seen like the footage and stuff
00:07:51
that the military has they have to have
00:07:53
come here it just doesn't did you see
00:07:56
Prometheus of course yeah did you David
00:08:00
what's I can you use it in a sentence
00:08:03
David Le promethus Oh I thought there's
00:08:05
a spelling be uh no I I uh did I is that
00:08:09
with ex machina's boyfriend fast Bender
00:08:14
yes oh yeah are they really dating in
00:08:16
real life oh yeah oh no he's married to
00:08:19
somebody else yeah Alicia vickland am I
00:08:22
crazy yeah Vic laner good one David wow
00:08:26
that's terrific I look
00:08:28
dum
00:08:30
so that's the idea that aliens have
00:08:32
visited and may be seated us all 2001
00:08:36
well were you are Dan are you a big fan
00:08:38
of Prometheus because I have a little
00:08:39
scoop well I am a big fan and I don't
00:08:42
think they're G to make another one
00:08:43
unless you got a scoop no I think
00:08:45
they're what no but I have a SC about I
00:08:47
I don't know if it's true but I I I
00:08:49
heard that the the
00:08:51
reason why people had they cut out a big
00:08:54
section of that movie is what I heard I
00:08:56
don't know if it's true okay where they
00:08:57
explain why the engineer the big alien
00:09:00
at the end came so uh they explained it
00:09:04
through the Bible that Jesus was gone
00:09:05
you know the Bible they don't talk about
00:09:07
Jesus for like 30 years or whatever it
00:09:09
is yeah it's during that time that that
00:09:11
engineer plucked him from Earth took him
00:09:13
back to their Planet teached him how to
00:09:17
uh teach how Humanity should go and then
00:09:20
plucked him back down that's why in the
00:09:21
Bible he reappears it in his 30s and
00:09:24
then they get it wrong because people
00:09:25
are still treating each other like [ __ ]
00:09:27
so the engineers come back and want to
00:09:28
swipe it the whole Earth away and start
00:09:30
over again so it's like a little bible
00:09:32
thing that they cut out there right
00:09:33
right yeah and that and it was it was
00:09:36
really Scott's explanation for why Jesus
00:09:37
was missing in the Bible for so many
00:09:39
years which I think is really a great
00:09:40
idea I didn't get any of that I did see
00:09:42
it I was going to say is it rley Scott I
00:09:44
watched The Passion of the Christ uh two
00:09:47
nights ago and can't beat it that was a
00:09:50
pun it's
00:09:55
a
00:09:57
it's uh it's that a joke from the movie
00:10:00
yeah that was tagline was on the posters
00:10:05
anyway Catholicism is very very
00:10:07
interesting U so yeah I grew up Catholic
00:10:10
did you guys grow up Catholic I'm a
00:10:12
lapsed Lutheran but now I go to Catholic
00:10:15
church with my wife laps Luthers well I
00:10:18
go like that because I see the Friars
00:10:20
there and I go L I like that they go you
00:10:22
could get a I don't do the wafer he says
00:10:24
you could go up and cross your arms and
00:10:27

00:10:30
I could say something but we'd have to
00:10:32
cut it we'll cut it we'll say we'll cut
00:10:34

00:10:45
and I know where you're going at 13 or
00:10:47

00:10:49
when all the news came out about the
00:10:51
horrible molestation in the Catholic
00:10:53
church but for me I would have killed to
00:10:57
date anybody at the time so I that's all
00:11:00
I'll say about
00:11:01
that I thought you were saying why is
00:11:04
Jesus always like in a loin cloth with a
00:11:07
12pack I mean right right uh no you were
00:11:11
going to say why aren't these priests
00:11:13
eyeballing me when you changing your
00:11:15
outfits I didn't say it okay I'm just
00:11:17
saying that's that's a normal scenario
00:11:20
if you're a kid you don't know I didn't
00:11:21
say it I didn't say it no no you're just
00:11:23

00:11:45
we're all in sync but I grew up Catholic
00:11:47
and so we were forced to go to church
00:11:49
and and CCD classes like where Bible
00:11:52
classes as kids yeah but um yeah I never
00:11:55
I never really got into I I would always
00:11:57
there was two chapels and me and my old
00:11:59
oldest brother would always be like Bye
00:12:00
Mom we we're going to go to the other
00:12:02
Chapel we were just playing in the
00:12:03
backyard of the church oh you didn't go
00:12:05
to the chapel well there were five of us
00:12:08
and if our parents slept past 9 a.m. we
00:12:11
knew we didn't have to go so we would be
00:12:12
like we may not have to go because we
00:12:14
have to put our church pants on right
00:12:16
which my brother Scott we shared a
00:12:18
bedroom we had to put Church pants on
00:12:20
and we didn't want to be seen in the
00:12:21
neighborhood with our church pants so we
00:12:22
would be completely flat in the back of
00:12:25
the station wagon hiding I think the
00:12:27

00:16:05
remember well I remember watching a lot
00:16:08

00:16:11
cheers when it first started but my mom
00:16:14
used to make me uh record The Cosby Show
00:16:17
for her every Thursday night because she
00:16:18
would go bowling and so you know I I I
00:16:22
was raised by my mom raised five kids by
00:16:24
herself we had my dad left when I was

00:16:27
mom left too God I wish my I wish my dad
00:16:30

00:16:34
five in our family too but dad daddy
00:16:37
staying couldn't get Daddy out the door
00:16:39
there's worse things than daddy leaving
00:16:41
and that's daddy staying right that's
00:16:43
probably true that's another podcast can
00:16:46
I ask you a question how many viewers
00:16:48
did Cosby The Cosby Show have at its
00:16:51
peak I have no idea what this a trivia

00:17:19
Alzheimer's like three four years ago
00:17:21
she I I kind of took on that role too
00:17:24
because she would I think she would
00:17:26
think of me as her husband or something
00:17:28
it was really interesting and and and
00:17:30
then funny because Alzheimer's you know
00:17:32
you go through all the crying and the
00:17:34
crying and the crying for years and
00:17:36
years and then to get out of it you can
00:17:38
only make funny like it can only be
00:17:40
funny in order to course anything can be
00:17:42
funny even though it's horrifying that
00:17:45
is a horrifying situation was your mom
00:17:47
was your mom kind of happy there are
00:17:49
certain people with Alzheimer's get very
00:17:51
angry and mean and nasty and some are
00:17:53
kind of silly and happy yeah she was at
00:17:56
least she was paranoid and angry and um
00:17:59
and then when she got on the other side
00:18:00
of that then she was pretty Pleasant my
00:18:03
mom was funny because she would point to
00:18:05
a little plant next to her table and
00:18:07
she'd say have you met my
00:18:10

00:23:09
guess the first one because I assume
00:23:12
you're a fanatic so I did listen to you
00:23:15
you guys I don't what is it Bill Flett
00:23:19
and and G B
00:23:23
fluke I listen to you guys with
00:23:25
McCartney Oh wow that was a long time
00:23:28
ago did him before us but I listened to
00:23:30
you talk to mccarton before David and I
00:23:32
yeah yeah so then I didn't know at the
00:23:34
time like you're like a really great
00:23:37
classical pianist oh I play yeah I
00:23:39
studied yeah classical pianist I started
00:23:41
when I was five years old there was a
00:23:43
piano teacher across the street and I
00:23:44
came home from you know preschool and my
00:23:46
mom said do you want to take piano
00:23:47
lessons I was like I literally said
00:23:49
quote I'm not doing anything else so I
00:23:51
walked across the street started taking
00:23:53
lessons and stuck with it and then I did
00:23:56
yard work because we couldn't afford
00:23:57
anything couldn't afford heat one winter
00:24:00
we couldn't afford food a lot of the
00:24:02
time so to pay for my piano lessons I
00:24:04
would do yard work from at my piano
00:24:06
teacher house for her and her husband
00:24:08
and her husband was a conductor in the
00:24:09
Chicago land area and so I was doing all
00:24:12
these landscaping and yard I was I was
00:24:14
horrible and people in high school
00:24:16
thought I lived there was this big
00:24:17
mansion like in where I liveed I was
00:24:18
like yeah I Liv there like the movie
00:24:19
Lucas anybody and so I Lucas yeah
00:24:22
remember that shot in my high school and
00:24:24
so um and so I story is already more
00:24:29
interesting but keep
00:24:32
going Lucas I was Lucas I went out for
00:24:35
football so I love Lucas wasn't that
00:24:38
such a good movie oh [ __ ] I love it a
00:24:40
writer first film oh that's right
00:24:42
Charlie Sheen was great green chuck
00:24:45
chuck Sheen go ahead so you played the
00:24:47
piano and mowed some Lawns yeah that's
00:24:49
it and he wrote a song about mowing
00:24:52
lawns right there was like a local out I
00:24:55
was better at mowing lawns I went into G
00:24:57
I understand that you uh you learned to
00:24:59
tinle the Ivory and um oh Dan has a good
00:25:01
question about McCartney though right
00:25:03
well I was just I was just noticing how
00:25:06
so you're interviewing Paul McCartney
00:25:08
and I didn't know you're a classical
00:25:09
piano so you you did ask or you you were
00:25:12
dissecting one of his songs and you got
00:25:14
very into the language of signatures and
00:25:17
the quarter fifth about um what's the
00:25:20
song what's the song uh what's that song
00:25:23
that from the in the 1990s um long and
00:25:25
whining Road no no oh the flowers in the
00:25:31
dirt no that was 80s cut out this air
00:25:33
let me just think of it uh it was
00:25:37
um my Brave face no more lonely night
00:25:42
that
00:25:43
was0 that was 80s but yeah yeah so so
00:25:47
it's a great song so I asked could you
00:25:48
sing a little more of
00:25:50
that that's good I'm always there yeah
00:25:54
anyway so yeah uh he yeah I was I was
00:25:57
talking to him because I'm a of yeah a
00:25:59
music nerd like I'm sure he is but I
00:26:01
didn't know that he never studied music
00:26:03
or anything but so I I I don't know if I
00:26:05
made him aware he was into like he wrote
00:26:07
like a three four bar then a five five
00:26:09
five4 bar and then a four four bar then
00:26:11
a three four bar again so it wasn't you
00:26:13
it wasn't and the four that we know like
00:26:15
pick any most you know 99% of pop songs
00:26:18
are in four four time which is time
00:26:21
which is just four be six seven eight
00:26:24
you know and um but he would write all
00:26:27
the the beatle and his stuff he would
00:26:29
write different time signatures all the
00:26:31
time but if you're not used to music
00:26:34
theory you probably don't you know pick
00:26:37
it up like I did yeah but that's
00:26:39
interesting I he probably likes to hear
00:26:41
that kind of stuff more than and that
00:26:42
well I went into this long explanation
00:26:43
as you know to Paul McCartney and at the
00:26:46
long exclamation He says oh I didn't
00:26:48
know that I don't read music I was like
00:26:50
okay next he goes okay I don't know what
00:26:53
you're talking about yeah which I always
00:26:56
find fascinating that people who don't
00:26:58
studied are prolific in it I don't know
00:27:01
if George Martin kind of you know by
00:27:03
osmosis sort of influenced them but if
00:27:05
you look at Penny Lane and then it goes
00:27:06
that all the different timing even maybe
00:27:08
I'm a maze I've talked to real musicians
00:27:11
uh time signature changes the beat and
00:27:14
and also you know uh key changes all the
00:27:17
stuff that makes all the magic so un
00:27:20
unreal can't beat can't beat
00:27:22
Talent yeah we had them on Sean or can
00:27:26
you our first our first three things we
00:27:28
told him I think were compliments and he
00:27:31
goes well these aren't really questions
00:27:34
yeah yeah yeah and we were like we
00:27:36
didn't know oh we we we got we we went
00:27:39

00:31:46
was a lot of work yeah but I had to
00:31:48
shave my head twice a day every day
00:31:50
because by lunchtime it would start
00:31:52
growing back I would have five o'clock
00:31:54
shadow on my bald head oh really because
00:31:58
I glued the wig to my head and so that
00:32:01
glue while you're sweating and that's
00:32:04
when I when I first met you I had glue
00:32:06
on my head and I was sweating that's
00:32:08
right you remember that yeah so I'm at
00:32:10
lights out David show and I had just
00:32:13
done alucino a Scarface yeah and then
00:32:16
you get the wig off and the bald cap and
00:32:18
the thing and you're just it's always
00:32:19
fascinating what's he got going on up
00:32:21
there where where do his hairline
00:32:24
actually start but you were incredibly
00:32:26
Pleasant and I like
00:32:28
I love like same same it was so fun to
00:32:30
meet you David I've known for years
00:32:32
David David was was doing just shoot me
00:32:35
when I was doing one Grace at the stage
00:32:36
right next to us yeah and I was walk we
00:32:38
were both walking together and I just I
00:32:40
left him to walk up to my stage and I
00:32:43
just opened the stage door and David
00:32:46
said God you smell it smells so bad on
00:32:48
the lot and I open my stage door and I
00:32:50
go all I smell is a hit oh my
00:32:56
God [ __ ] the this real
00:32:59
story I used to say to people go ahead
00:33:04
you guys well I I said to David f54 I
00:33:08
smell an Oscar nomination that's
00:33:12
did uh well when I I did just shoot me
00:33:16
in it was going along fine then these
00:33:19
[ __ ] came along from Will and Grace
00:33:22
and they were we like I think Megan was
00:33:25
right next to my dressing room we'd have
00:33:27
to walk you know 100 yards to the stages
00:33:29
well yours is closer but walk over so we
00:33:32
see each other all the time and then we
00:33:34
were doing pretty good we were by no
00:33:36
means like a monster hit it was very
00:33:38
tough that was a great show and you did
00:33:40
great I have to say when we're up when
00:33:42
we're on the same lot as Seinfeld you
00:33:44
know there there was a real Heyday right
00:33:45
then there was a lot of shows Frasier
00:33:47
and ER and Will and Grace So Fraser I
00:33:50
think what happened the humiliating
00:33:52
there's two humiliating things one we
00:33:55
were I think the 8 o' and then friends
00:33:59
this maybe the N or whatever show and
00:34:01
then the hammock ones the degrading name
00:34:03
for the 8:30 and 9:30 shows were the
00:34:06
ones that needed some help so you go
00:34:09
Will Will and Grace will follow us
00:34:11
because they're new they don't know
00:34:13
anything I think that's what happened
00:34:14
you can tell me if I'm wrong I think so
00:34:16
and then something follows like Frasier
00:34:18
at 9:30 whatever and then after about a
00:34:21
year they went and switched us cuz Will
00:34:25
and Grace came out of the gate pretty
00:34:27
hard
00:34:28
we were on for so they switched us so we
00:34:30
flip-flop where we were 8:30 I think so
00:34:32
Will and Grace is off and running and
00:34:34
then the other part that was infuriating
00:34:36
was when I had to walk by all four of
00:34:38
your Porsches on the way to the set
00:34:41
because you [ __ ] got Porsches we were
00:34:44
gifted Porsches we were sharing a moped
00:34:46
at that point wait a minute well how
00:34:47
many episodes before you got the car so
00:34:50
the same thing happened to us happened
00:34:51
to friends which was friends wasn't a
00:34:54
hit out of I mean people watched it but
00:34:56
over the the after the first season of
00:34:58
friends over the summer when they used
00:34:59
to run play reruns friends became huge
00:35:03
and then we started out the same way
00:35:04
where nobody really kind of they were
00:35:06
just checking us out and then over the
00:35:07
summer it just exploded and uh so the
00:35:10
network the head of network Scott sassa
00:35:12
I was called him I got him mixed up with
00:35:14
Samy Sosa i s yeah s and Scott Sasa he
00:35:19
brought us to lunch and then we when we
00:35:20
were done eating lunch we walked out and
00:35:22
there was four Porsches there he's like
00:35:24
congratulations on the I was like oh my
00:35:26
God and immediately I thought selling it
00:35:28
because I needed the money so I waited
00:35:30
like you know because why do I want to
00:35:31
play insurance on it I don't have money
00:35:33
to pay my rent so I was I sold it like
00:35:36
two months later but you got a decent
00:35:38
chunk you get decent at the be I know
00:35:40
you guys probably renegotiated but at
00:35:41
the beginning you did pretty good right
00:35:44
yeah not I mean sure not not in the
00:35:47
beginning probably by when did it really
00:35:50
like okay this is a hit was it year
00:35:53
three season two yeah for sure so the
00:35:55
summer jacked it up and then you came
00:35:56
back hard and then maybe they flipped us
00:35:59
after that but just shoot me was doing
00:36:00
fine it was all it was really like a
00:36:02
great fun time it was all of that was
00:36:05
fun I remember I was wondering if we
00:36:07

00:36:09

00:36:12
I didn't win anything but put it on your

00:39:45
that Mike sh the old hly daughter you
00:39:47
could ever have there he is I hope he's
00:39:49
a good man you know what the way I
00:39:51
learned that I learned Trump was by
00:39:53
doing it was a bit of Regis and then
00:39:56
adding in Marlin Brando kind of made me
00:39:59
go to Trump now the people everybody
00:40:01
does Trump but it's like and then and
00:40:04
then you get you you know you know
00:40:08
inside baseball no no it's good I love
00:40:10
that you know how to like I'm fatly like
00:40:12
bu Frank cendo right amazing impression
00:40:16
well his his Morgan Freedman is one of
00:40:18
those that's gone to this other almost
00:40:20
scary level you know like it's not it's
00:40:23
just a magic trick but I it blows my
00:40:25
mind the science behind your brain Dana
00:40:28
and the ability to do that like how the
00:40:32
ability to listen and then know where to
00:40:34
place it in your throat to to to mimic
00:40:36
something it's terrible when you it it's
00:40:40
terrible when you you just say oh I want
00:40:43
to try to learn this person or someone's
00:40:44
asking you to learn this person and you
00:40:46
can't do it at all it's very painful all
00:40:49
I all I do is listen a lot you know and
00:40:52
just pray because a lot of it's like
00:40:54
singing too if you sing you know where
00:40:55
to place a note and stuff I suppose it's
00:40:57
similar right
00:40:59
like uh yeah and for me I just get bored
00:41:02
or I'm not I don't feel like I'm at the
00:41:04
level of Frank Kendo as a pure
00:41:06
impressionist so then I just try to
00:41:08
abstract it and make a character out of
00:41:10
it but it's enough of the true source
00:41:12
that it makes sense anyway I know it's
00:41:14
so great anyway whatever I can only do
00:41:16
my friends when you do your friends you
00:41:18
know it's funny but you can't use that
00:41:20
anywhere except with your stupid friend
00:41:22
group and then if your friend became
00:41:24
famous it would be your impression PR
00:41:26
God but it'll never happen
00:41:28
uh we have a question for you we've been
00:41:29
already yeah already 48 minutes in look
00:41:33
at these notes
00:41:35
ready how what's because you have three
00:41:39
peoplee on Smart list you have three
00:41:41
people interviewing that's not the
00:41:43
question okay but what's the least
00:41:46
amount you've talked and who is the
00:41:48
guest oh gosh the least amount well it's
00:41:52
usually a sports figure oh you hang back
00:41:56
yeah um but I'm more because I'm more
00:41:58
interested in their life and their you
00:42:00
know everyday life rather than the sport
00:42:01
itself but even though I I like sports I
00:42:03
love football and Will's getting me into
00:42:06
soccer so it's I find that he get into
00:42:08
soccer with me yeah and then um but uh
00:42:13
no it
00:42:14
was Clayton khaw what's his name the
00:42:17
baseball player DOD
00:42:20
Cameron
00:42:21
[Music]
00:42:23
no Clayton
00:42:25
KW he's like who's that guy kurk Cameron
00:42:28
I think it was uh Kershaw he's super
00:42:31
super great guy so he was on and I
00:42:33
didn't you know and he was an early
00:42:35
guest so I was like I didn't know what
00:42:37
to ask because it was baseball and I I
00:42:39
know how to I played baseball as a kid
00:42:40
blah blah blah like I I know the ins and
00:42:42
outs but I didn't really have anything
00:42:45
off the top of my head I could ask him
00:42:47
so I Googled while we were talking and I
00:42:51
said so um I read somewhere that you
00:42:55
were left-handed tell us about that
00:42:58
what an
00:43:00
idiot that was my one question good job
00:43:03
you're like I heard you bought a Jeep
00:43:06
once walk walk us
00:43:08
through why not leas if you had to stand
00:43:12
somewhere would you rather stand on the
00:43:13
mound or home
00:43:16
plate while you were having lunch that's
00:43:19
exactly I turned into Chris Marley oh
00:43:21
you did you were
00:43:24
like remember when you were left-handed
00:43:26
yeah
00:43:28
stupid dumb white by the way speaking of
00:43:31
Paul McCartney that was one of the great
00:43:32
Chris Farley um questions of all time
00:43:35
was it Chris Farley Show on Saturday
00:43:37
yeah Chris Farley Show hey remember when
00:43:39
you were in The Beetles yeah that was
00:43:41
cool you know the bisl was remember when
00:43:43
you said the love you take is equal to
00:43:46
the love you make and Paul goes yeah and
00:43:48
he goes is that
00:43:51
true it's the biggest laugh and Paul
00:43:53
goes well I mean i' like to think so he
00:43:55
goes yeah
00:43:58
that was awesome that was awesome that
00:44:02
was wait tell me now now let me tell
00:44:05
tell me your since you asked me what's
00:44:07
yours what's the one you talked the
00:44:09
least David besides this one well the
00:44:12
guest has never talk the most so we Dane
00:44:16
and I talk the whole time yeah that's
00:44:18
kind of like us I mean but with three
00:44:20
people how do you do that it's hard
00:44:21
enough with two well three with three
00:44:24
hosts um there's a rhythm we've been
00:44:27
friends for over 20 years 25 who drives
00:44:30
it it's all I don't know it's always
00:44:33
different it depends whose guest it is
00:44:35
you know so like like you feel the
00:44:37
responsibility of driving it if it's
00:44:38
your guest which is a fun respons
00:44:40
because you get you did the research and
00:44:42
you look at all you know all this stuff
00:44:43
and so um I I enjoy I enjoy it I also
00:44:47
enjoy getting the [ __ ] beat out of me
00:44:48
like I love it it's so is that one of
00:44:51
the hooks that people like is that you
00:44:53
guys all give each other [ __ ] I guess I
00:44:55
I guess so uh I mean why do they like it
00:44:57
that's what I'm
00:44:59
asking well by the way we go to the
00:45:01
phones we wonder the same thing it's
00:45:04
because they know you're really good
00:45:06
friends I guess so and that's what
00:45:09
that's what it says but sometimes Jason
00:45:12
baitman will come up with such
00:45:14
interesting questions I almost I almost
00:45:16
don't really need I don't need anything
00:45:19
else to be said because his questions
00:45:20
are really sophisticated yeah yeah and
00:45:23
then um you're like more you come from
00:45:27
the just the I'm a fan you're a fan and
00:45:31
you're spontaneous you're like the
00:45:32

surprising to us as it is to you that

like people even listen because we're
00:48:04
just loser doing like exactly what we're
00:48:07

00:48:09
we just can't believe people find it
00:48:11
interesting enough to to hang in there

00:48:15
mean and it is kind of fun it is fun to
00:48:17
do oh my God it and and as to your
00:48:19
question Dan about like schedules and
00:48:21
stuff and lining the three of us up
00:48:22
we've been hanging out already for
00:48:24
decades so it's like it's easy and and
00:48:26
we used it as an excuse to see each
00:48:28
other to start the podcast like why
00:48:30
don't we just start one just because of
00:48:31
just cuz CU it's excuse to see each
00:48:34
other while we're in lockdown and uh we
00:48:37
did like two episodes then we did six
00:48:38
then we did 10 then we did 20 and then
00:48:40
here we are you know um but and was fun
00:48:44
it it's continues to be the Time of Our
00:48:46
Lives I mean you're smart because you
00:48:48
know how to do that I wouldn't I mean I
00:48:50
did a lot of zooms with friends like the
00:48:51
exact same thing but it never crossed
00:48:54
anyone's mind like how would we beam
00:48:56
this out or I mean that just somebody
00:48:58
has to know something yeah I mean how
00:49:01
did you start this one I mean you right
00:49:02
same like hey let's do well we knew how
00:49:05
we knew what that they were out there
00:49:07
like you were doing it which was smart
00:49:10
when there weren't that many and so you
00:49:12
were just like hey how does that work
00:49:14
someone figures it out and there's not
00:49:16
it's kind of like the internet right
00:49:17
it's like hey how does this work this is
00:49:19
kind of fun you know that's all yeah
00:49:22
yeah it worked and there's a lot that
00:49:23
don't work so it's great that you got
00:49:25
one that works well thank you the only I
00:49:27
can think is that it's sort of an art
00:49:30
form with a small a where the consumer
00:49:33
of the art form with a small a is doing
00:49:36
something else while they're consuming
00:49:38
what we're doing predominantly a lot of
00:49:41
people are driving or gardening or at
00:49:43
the gym but don't they but don't people
00:49:46
watch shows like that now and on their
00:49:48
taet everybody's doing something
00:49:52
multitasking isn't that that's why I saw
00:49:55
Dune in a movie theater Stadium theater
00:49:59
and it it was incredible and it's just
00:50:01
all this big sound and I had to turn my
00:50:03
phone off it's only there and in church
00:50:06
phone goes off and that was
00:50:08
revolutionary because you could be
00:50:09
watching a really cool movie yeah and
00:50:11
then someone bringing and like if you
00:50:13
watch at home I found if I watch a movie
00:50:15
at home I will look at my phone and it's
00:50:17
horrible yeah same same because you're
00:50:19
not at the movie theater where it's not
00:50:20
like this is your one thing yeah so at
00:50:22
home you're kind of like well I can
00:50:24
always let me get some to eat what did
00:50:25
you think of doing and you think of Dune
00:50:27
too how you doing well Dune how you
00:50:30
doing would I'll do it as G with Dune
00:50:34
because that's a good word for G I saw
00:50:37
Dune they would make it sexual or
00:50:39
something the first dune was a little
00:50:42
convoluted for me yeah I went to Dune 2
00:50:46
and it was in the genre of science
00:50:49
fiction fantasy it's one of the best
00:50:51
movies ever made I I 100% agree by the
00:50:55
way same director as a rival oh really
00:50:59
so it it just works on so many levels
00:51:02
and it's it's Fantastical the effects
00:51:05
the sound I don't know I was I've
00:51:07
already I've already seen it twice it's
00:51:10
good then Josh Brolin comes in like
00:51:11
halfway through and he's great he's such
00:51:13
a stud and then he is best Zena's great
00:51:17
the kid was great I mean that for such a
00:51:19
big movie The Kid hey Timothy shalom
00:51:23
what's up he is he's kind of he's
00:51:25
younger than me for sure
00:51:27
listen the director's like director's
00:51:30
like hey can you bring the kid around
00:51:32
let me knock on his trailer did they put
00:51:34
an effect on Timothy's voice when he
00:51:36
would he would get
00:51:39
mad's speaking whatever
00:51:43
L how about when you're right how about
00:51:45
when they would like him and his mom
00:51:47
would yeah have that kind of power where
00:51:49
they can uh Jedi Master somebody's mind
00:51:53
you know and they like um open the door
00:51:58
and You' be like what and she'd like
00:52:00
don't touch his arm P kill him and
00:52:03
you're like wait what's happening it was
00:52:05
crazy yeah I know it's just well done
00:52:08
David that'd be a great movie for you to
00:52:10
watch in a theater go to the saw I saw
00:52:12
it what I'm say you can chime in I like
00:52:16
this they're so scared of the sand
00:52:18
snakes then at the end it's like HR puff
00:52:19
and stuff and they're like hey we're all
00:52:21
flying around on sand snake well I love
00:52:24
they're they're they're two miles long
00:52:27
and you've got two two ice picks and and
00:52:30
then you stand on this thing that's 2
00:52:32
miles long and command it that's a
00:52:35
really low IQ I
00:52:37
gold the the brain capacity of this
00:52:40
thing it's as big as an aircraft
00:52:42
character but it's pretty pretty cool
00:52:44
didn't it kind of want to ride one
00:52:46
didn't it hop on yeah I'm getting one
00:52:50
Universal Studios has already got them
00:52:52
made they just haven't got all the
00:52:54
electronics figured out but you'll get
00:52:55
on it and were you around for the first
00:52:58
dune Sean we're going to let you go but
00:53:00
were you around for the first dune which
00:53:02
was Sting was I never saw it Scotty saw
00:53:04
it and he he was you know he likes it
00:53:05
for nostalgic reasons but he said this
00:53:07
these are far Dana you must have seen it
00:53:09
I saw sting wor basically a diaper in
00:53:13
Dune in 1982 I remember that image
00:53:16
though yeah just a white
00:53:18
diaper I do g j incredibly T that's the
00:53:22
only one so far G gay jokes are you
00:53:28
encourage them I encourage them I I had
00:53:31
one I had two that I stopped doing
00:53:33
should I I stopped doing them because I
00:53:36
just thought no I think if you make them
00:53:38
like to me we're all friends and well
00:53:40
and Jason are two my closest friends it
00:53:42
means you're just close like yeah I can
00:53:44
make fun of your hair
00:53:46
your car
00:53:49
whatever off limits well it also I
00:53:52
little bit and we yeah when someone is
00:53:56
comfortable with certain types of jokes
00:53:58
whether they be racial or whatever and
00:54:00
usually it means they're they're the
00:54:03
opposite of of someone who's racist I
00:54:06
they're just like because it's so
00:54:07
ridiculous they don't or or gay jokes
00:54:09
are so ridiculous stereotype that that
00:54:12
if they're easy with it because it's
00:54:14
ridiculous yeah hope this is coming off
00:54:16
right or we could this screen this
00:54:18
screen could go to no because you're
00:54:20
talking to a gay person I just think
00:54:21
it's all it depends on is the messenger
00:54:23
who's telling the joke and and how is it
00:54:26
intend
00:54:26
that's right also who's not turned on by
00:54:29
staying in a diaper I am I mean that's
00:54:33
