Here's Johnny and Nick. 

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,600
Hi. 
Hi, I'm Jenny slate, and I'm 

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,000
Nick Kroll and we are talking 
for the 824 podcast to each 

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,900
other. 
Oh, we're supposed to talk to 

13
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:39,300
each other. 
Yeah, we're talking to each 

14
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:40,800
other. 
Don't just face the wall with 

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,300
the mic. 
Oh, I thought we were doing 

16
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:44,600
monologues. 
When was the last time we 

17
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,100
physically it's been it's like 
actually been years and it makes

18
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,200
me feel really, really sad to 
say it. 

19
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,600
Yeah, and I think I know when it
was I think but I'm not sure. 

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,900
What do you think? 
It was going to take off my 

21
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,900
glasses and base? 
It's something that's right. 

22
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,900
Just like a year, like a little 
I remember that when you got my 

23
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,100
glasses I get Lasik like years 
ago. 

24
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:10,700
Yes. 
No, but then I got glasses 

25
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:12,600
because my vision is like 
getting worse again. 

26
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,700
Oh, but I kind of like it 
because I kind of missed wearing

27
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,400
glasses and I wasn't ready to 
be. 

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,600
Yeah a person fake wearing 
glass. 

29
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,200
I just say it you because it's 
just this feeling of oh, I guess

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,800
old age like Israel that I'm 
like, I know it now. 

31
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,200
Now, like now, I see it. 
Not that I'm old but that I'm 

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,000
like, oh, because I need glasses
now, too. 

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,900
And I've always thank you so 
much been like super 2020. 

34
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,100
Yeah. 
And like proud of it. 

35
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:41,900
I yeah, as if I did anything to 
do that know, but it says I'm 

36
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,200
like, are you at it? 
Like I don't I don't get 

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,000
cavities. 
Like there's people that don't 

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
get a lot of Kevin people. 
I don't, I do, but people brag 

39
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,200
about that with their teeth, 
like, like I don't get cavities 

40
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:54,500
and you've been, like, I have 
20/20 vision. 

41
00:01:54,500 --> 00:01:57,200
I worked really hard on it. 
It's soaked. 

42
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,400
I mean, honestly, But something 
about not having a lid, then 

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,700
brings like a full mug in the 
car and it, like, kills me. 

44
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,300
Stresses you out. 
I'm and also that I'm like, 

45
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:11,400
you're gonna hurt yourself. 
Like your he drinks black coffee

46
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,900
and in like a ceramic mug, it's 
like piping hot. 

47
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:17,000
Do you just not? 
Does it feel things that I feel 

48
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,700
like fit into the cup holder? 
Yeah, not because I love to buy 

49
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:26,500
like, you know artisanal and 
because yeah, it's a mug it has 

50
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:29,800
a handle doesn't fit into the 
holder for most people's sodas. 

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,700
I don't know if we started 
rolling the sometimes the 

52
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:35,600
podcast, they'll sneakily start 
rolling just to get the, yeah, 

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,900
you get to get that early. 
Get those early, you know, real 

54
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:40,700
moments. 
Oh my God, like, at the 

55
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:44,000
beginning of Krista, Tippets 
interview ever wasn't on being. 

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,500
She's like, she always asks, 
what will they ask people what 

57
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,000
their have for breakfast? 
And it's always like a monk 

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,400
who's like, I'm staying and 
yeah, I haven't eaten breakfast,

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,500
but it turns out that monkey was
just on an intermittent fasting 

60
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,800
among the monks like, I'm a 
fucking Fatiha. 

61
00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:05,700
My body, I'm not eating in that 
I binge at night, or you know 

62
00:03:05,700 --> 00:03:08,000
what it is just to say. 
But I'm pretty sure, you know, 

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,500
that I hate this. 
It's like a professor, with dry 

64
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:19,000
mouth, who's like, yogurt on 
being is what I aspire to for 

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400
this conversation. 
So we're clear because there's 

66
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,600
what she's always talking about 
and I don't listen to it. 

67
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,400
That often is really 
interesting. 

68
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,500
She's brilliant and incredibly 
beautiful. 

69
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,400
Did people? 
There's a lot of them? 

70
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:36,100
Yeah, that's funny. 
Well, it's funny. 

71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,100
You know what? 
They say, a little, Jimmy, 

72
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,600
little giggly. 
I mean, I'm offended that I'm, I

73
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,300
like want to be on that show. 
Okay. 

74
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,000
Have you tried? 
Did you try to get on that? 

75
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:50,600
Yeah, and this is where you 
landed a 24 podcast. 

76
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:56,600
Do you have a podcast? 
That's a bad thing to ask? 

77
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:57,400
I don't. 
Okay. 

78
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,900
Okay, because I, you know, yeah.
And I I don't know. 

79
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:02,100
I mean, I hate to pitch it to 
you right now. 

80
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:07,200
But this is it, which is a 24, 
get the rights to this. 

81
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:13,000
Then she everyone's fucking me. 
I don't have a podcast. 

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,200
I often times every like twice a
year. 

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,600
I'm like, I should have a 
podcast because I want more 

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,399
money. 
Yeah. 

85
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:25,700
Yeah, but I don't know. 
I don't think I could do this 

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,100
when I could. 
I mean, I do it all the time, 

87
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,700
but there were years where we 
would do podcasts all the time. 

88
00:04:29,900 --> 00:04:32,000
People. 
Yeah, but then it should I do 

89
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,900
honestly think it changed 
because now, like one person 

90
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,700
made like a butt load of money 
and everyone else is like, oh 

91
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:40,400
wait, hold on. 
Wait, your dear friend and 

92
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,100
former collaborator Joe Rogan, 
right? 

93
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,300
You guys are not doing the 
podcast together. 

94
00:04:46,300 --> 00:04:48,500
Another weird thing is no one 
can tell us apart. 

95
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,100
So it's like especially when you
can't see us, it's like wait, 

96
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:54,000
who's talking to, you know, in 
terms of how they think and what

97
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,900
they like is that is that Joe or
is that little Joe AKA Jenny? 

98
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,300
But Bruno, both burnouts Little 
Joe would be a great rapping 

99
00:05:04,300 --> 00:05:06,900
name for you. 
If you were, if you if there was

100
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:09,400
a Divergent path, was there ever
a minute. 

101
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,000
We're here we go. 
Was there ever a minute? 

102
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Where, where are you? 
Was it always. 

103
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,600
Did you always know it was going
to be comedy acting writing? 

104
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:26,000
Yeah, but you know what? 
I think there was There was 

105
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,700
always a wish that I would just 
go to like who would it be like 

106
00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:35,500
Sarandon territory, you know 
that like and maybe you 

107
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:37,800
experienced this too. 
Like I remember you used to have

108
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,900
that joke about how like if you 
could trade being funny. 

109
00:05:41,100 --> 00:05:43,400
Hmm. 
For just being like a male 

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,600
bikini model or whatever, you 
know, like it was like this joke

111
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,900
that I always felt so deeply 
that I still feel that way 

112
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:52,100
sometimes. 
I mean, I've moved through that 

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,500
right. 
Largely but like There are times

114
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:59,000
where I mean, it's just funny 
like when you meet like really 

115
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,500
beautiful performers or whatever
and they like want to make me 

116
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:03,900
the. 
I feel like they won't put it on

117
00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:04,800
you. 
I'll be like they want to make 

118
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,100
me laugh. 
I'm like, oh they want to be 

119
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:08,800
funny. 
Yeah, and I'm like and I'm and 

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,800
yet I'm like, can I just see 
that shot again? 

121
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,700
Because I'm like, I think I look
fucking like a gremlin in that 

122
00:06:13,700 --> 00:06:15,100
picture. 
You know what I mean? 

123
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:18,800
Yeah, so I don't know if that's 
how but Sarandon you wanted to 

124
00:06:18,808 --> 00:06:22,800
go straight to like like sexy 45
year-old. 

125
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,100
Like I can do anything a Actor I
think so, I always like like the

126
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,700
yeah, like the the territory of 
or like I loved Gwyneth Paltrow 

127
00:06:32,700 --> 00:06:35,400
in sliding doors and a perfect 
murder. 

128
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,900
It was always this like, yeah, I
mean, you're just not going to 

129
00:06:38,900 --> 00:06:43,300
be like a 58 blond woman. 
It's just not in the cards. 

130
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,900
But also I really like that 
thinking. 

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,100
I don't think you didn't. 
You can't think that way Jenny. 

132
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:51,000
Yeah. 
I have years to grow. 

133
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,400
You don't ever but gone blond 
blond. 

134
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600
You know, what's so funny? 
Us as you'll know because you 

135
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,400
and I have known each other for 
four like, I mean, a decade and 

136
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,700
a half an hour, probably more. 
Yeah, there have been times when

137
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:09,300
I've gotten extreme hairdos. 
When I've been Restless or like,

138
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,900
you know, had big feelings that 
I just couldn't admit. 

139
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
And I feel Restless right now 
because our house is too small 

140
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,400
and I said the other day, I 
think I should go platinum, and 

141
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,000
everyone was like, just 
renovate. 

142
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Just grant me your kitchen. 
You like the fall. 

143
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,300
All Out The Fallout of platinum 
hair. 

144
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:29,000
Which is much more difficult 
than fully renovating your 

145
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
house. 
Yeah, especially because and you

146
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,800
know, you and I when we were 
just talking I don't know if 

147
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,900
they were recording us. 
We're talking about how you. 

148
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:37,000
I don't get a lot of cavities. 
Hmm. 

149
00:07:39,900 --> 00:07:42,200
And for a while, I didn't need 
glasses. 

150
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,300
Now, I need them. 
Yeah, I haven't gotten them yet.

151
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:48,500
I have like one gray hair that 
pops up and I like rip her out. 

152
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:49,900
Hmm. 
Not that, I'm not into it. 

153
00:07:49,900 --> 00:07:51,500
I'm just like, sure either be a 
lot. 

154
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,200
Don't just be one as if as at 
the same spot. 

155
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,400
Yes, same spot and I haven't. 
So I don't color my hair. 

156
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,500
But I'm like, why would I go 
platinum right before? 

157
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,400
It's about to happen, right? 
This is the last moments of my 

158
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,100
natural. 
Right? 

159
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:07,500
So like once you go gray, then 
just Platinum for the rest of 

160
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:09,800
your life. 
I'm fully. 

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,500
I mean my beard. 
As you can see, ya is great like

162
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,800
just as so to go back a step and
I feel like we should give 

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,900
people some context to us 
quickly. 

164
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,400
Okay, which is we've been 
friends for at least. 

165
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,200
I moved to New York my New 
Year's resolution. 

166
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:27,300
In 2002 is to do an open mic. 
Oh jeez. 

167
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:29,900
Oh, it's so nice. 
It's been 20 years that I've 

168
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,900
been doing some versus started. 
This you were in college. 

169
00:08:32,900 --> 00:08:35,400
You came to knew you were in 
college at Columbia. 

170
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,000
That's right. 
And then when did you come to 

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600
like? 
When did you start performing 

172
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200
downtown or like performing out 
in the world? 

173
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:45,000
Right? 
So game lead man, and I 

174
00:08:45,008 --> 00:08:50,800
graduated from college in 2004 
and I think around 2005. 

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,000
He was like, I think he was kind
of like I think I'm going to try

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,400
stand-up and I was like, I'm not
because I didn't think that it 

177
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,900
was very cool. 
And I didn't know about like the

178
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:03,800
alternative scene or whatever, 
that what I mean. 

179
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,500
Now, it's not called that 
anymore. 

180
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,300
But I was like, I just thought 
of like, Andrew Dice Clay be 

181
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,000
like a guy in the leather 
jacket. 

182
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,600
Yeah, and I just was like, I 
don't get how I would fit in 

183
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,500
there and then he brought me to 
the show called invite them up, 

184
00:09:18,500 --> 00:09:22,200
which is also where I met you, 
which was a show at a place 

185
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,400
called rififi, which I believe 
is now, like a Jeanne's store 

186
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,300
Buffalo Exchange. 
As of last like a second hand 

187
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:30,200
always, it might have been moved
off of that. 

188
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,100
But go ahead. 
Yeah. 

189
00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:35,500
It was a like a rundown bar like
a bar. 

190
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,500
Yeah. 
With a black box theater in it. 

191
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:40,800
And then I honestly believe 
behind that was like kind of a 

192
00:09:40,808 --> 00:09:43,900
porno store, right? 
I liked, I don't know. 

193
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,800
But I do feel like that you 
called pornos. 

194
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:47,600
No because that's you have to 
call it. 

195
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,400
Now put not porn because porno 
Orange from the internet pornos 

196
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,100
VHS. 
Okay. 

197
00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,200
Great. 
Yeah, I like that too. 

198
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,100
Section II, it's only I say that
but I like I like it. 

199
00:09:58,300 --> 00:10:01,100
Yeah, I mean I would be it makes
you think of VHS. 

200
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:04,200
Yeah. 
And like actors in that Medium 

201
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,600
rather than hmm, you know things
without a plot you want to plot 

202
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,900
even in your I don't just need 
to see like someone's clit. 

203
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,300
I want to know that someone, you
know was delivering anything. 

204
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:17,200
Yeah. 
A pizza. 

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,700
Always. 
Right that they say, I don't 

206
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,100
know or like a clip. 
Clit massager your clip. 

207
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:22,900
Massage here like mine. 
If oopsies. 

208
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:24,900
I fuck you were something. 
That's what I used to be. 

209
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,600
But anyway, so that's what that 
was on, Wednesday night was the 

210
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,300
best show called invite them up.
Hosted by, Bobby Tisdale and 

211
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:35,000
Eugene. 
Mirman, we watch that show a 

212
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,100
lot, and I was like, oh wait, 
stand up is completely 

213
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,200
different. 
Yeah, and then I wanted to do 

214
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,700
it. 
And so we started to like kind 

215
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,500
of. 
We did a 30 second, 30 seconds 

216
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:47,400
about, you got that 30 seconds 
of calm that coveted, 30 seconds

217
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,800
of Comedy Spot. 
Yeah, and you are, you were 

218
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,500
there we would hang out all the 
time. 

219
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:55,400
Yeah, and that's when I Started 
to do stand-up. 

220
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,100
And I realized that like 
stand-up could actually be just 

221
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,400
talking. 
Yes, takes a little while to 

222
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,400
figure that out. 
Yeah, so that's like, seventh, 

223
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,100
that's 17 years ago. 
Probably at least a, we meet 

224
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:12,600
each other. 
Yeah, we and then we, you know, 

225
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,300
immediately liked each other's 
comedy became friends, and then 

226
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,500
and then I think probably 
started actually working 

227
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:22,900
together on Kroll Show. 
Did we worked? 

228
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:28,100
We do we We yeah, I mean so you 
were on Best Week Ever, right? 

229
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,000
And gave, and I like, really 
funny. 

230
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:34,400
Yeah, we really wanted to be on 
it and you were like the star of

231
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,500
it. 
I mean, we felt like you and 

232
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:37,200
Jesse Klein. 
Mmm. 

233
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:39,400
It's very nice of you to say. 
Well, you were. 

234
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,800
And like, I'm just going to put 
my coffee down. 

235
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,900
Sorry, Hmm. 
This is a spill it. 

236
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,600
This coffee is really am I just 
took a risk, but so we really 

237
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,800
wanted to be on that. 
That's what I remember you being

238
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,600
on, but then it seemed like you,
you really started to get a lot 

239
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,100
of jobs you. 
Like on a lot of commercials. 

240
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,300
Hmm, you seemed really smooth at
it. 

241
00:11:58,300 --> 00:12:02,100
Like you were really good at it 
because I remember like finally 

242
00:12:02,100 --> 00:12:05,500
getting a Cascade commercial. 
Yeah, figure out how to use the 

243
00:12:05,900 --> 00:12:09,100
the Pod to put in the dishwasher
and like they gave me extensions

244
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,600
and I was like, I was but 
anyway, that makes me feel that 

245
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,300
makes me itch thinking about 
that. 

246
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:15,900
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

247
00:12:15,900 --> 00:12:19,400
It was so hard commercials are 
so hard because you actually 

248
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400
have to be normal. 
You've to be normal and also 

249
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,700
like I don't know, I it's on. 
It's nice. 

250
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:28,000
You to say that because my first
commercials, like I were like 30

251
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,700
seconds, straight to camera 
monologues, and I couldn't 

252
00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,000
memorize my lines and I was 
freezing up and like Crews were 

253
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
waiting for me. 
If you're going first. 

254
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:40,600
Yeah, it really takes her 
self-esteem down to oh, no, this

255
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,200
is this is what I thought would 
happen if I failed. 

256
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Yeah. 
And and it and then and and you 

257
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,000
really believe like, oh, this is
the end. 

258
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,900
I'll never work again. 
Yeah, and it you're on the line.

259
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:52,200
It could be, you know what I 
mean? 

260
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Like it's like now looking back,
but A, what? 

261
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
I will say this. 
It seems like a digression, but 

262
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,700
it's not. 
I knew that we were. 

263
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:08,900
I knew that we were going to do 
this and I was like, I've I've 

264
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,000
I've trouble watching my own 
work. 

265
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,100
I you know that I don't I just 
don't like it and it can really 

266
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:15,800
hinder how I do the next thing I
do. 

267
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:19,800
Yeah, and I was like, it's weird
that I've never really fully 

268
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,600
watched Liz and Liz and Kroll 
Show because so many people love

269
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,800
it. 
Yeah, and the other night. 

270
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:32,100
I just sat down and watched like
most of the publicity's and I 

271
00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:35,300
Was like in tears. 
It's like yeah, I was in tears 

272
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,900
not just because like I just 
genuinely loved it. 

273
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:41,900
Yeah, but because and it's 
almost hard to talk about it 

274
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:44,500
without getting emotional, but 
I've been fired by us now and 

275
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:46,200
you gave me a job. 
Hmm. 

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,800
And oh God. 
I'm so like this right now, but 

277
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,700
also and you. 
Okay good, but like and also 

278
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:53,500
were both parents. 
I don't know if your baby sleeps

279
00:13:53,500 --> 00:14:00,700
but mine likes truly loves to 
party all night long and but I 

280
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:04,400
just feel like a lot. 
As I've tried to say this 

281
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,400
throughout the years. 
I've never articulated it and I 

282
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,200
almost wrote you a letter this 
morning, but I'm like, oh, 

283
00:14:08,208 --> 00:14:10,900
that's so mean you're going to 
be like but so Jenny wrote me a 

284
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:14,400
letter so I won't but it was 
like you gave me a job. 

285
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,900
I had been fired by us until I 
was. 

286
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,000
So speaking of like you think 
it's over for that and that's 

287
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,800
legit. 
You're like get fired by a cell 

288
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,900
that feels like there's a 
Cascade commercial. 

289
00:14:22,900 --> 00:14:29,200
That doesn't go well and you 
gave me this job and I felt like

290
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,500
I was kind of like damaged 
goods, although that's neither 

291
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:33,500
here nor there. 
Knows if that was how I was 

292
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,400
perceived, but I'm walk. 
I was like watching Liz and Liz 

293
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,600
and I was like, all this stuff 
is so much funnier than anything

294
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,400
they were doing on SNL or that I
ever got to do. 

295
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:49,300
You gave me a gigantic chance? 
You completely, let me run. 

296
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,400
Hmm. 
You never hindered me. 

297
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:56,400
It was the coolest job and I was
watching it and I only, I know 

298
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,300
that every take you and I are 
about to start laughing and I 

299
00:15:00,300 --> 00:15:02,100
can't even believe they edited 
that show together. 

300
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Because we were always laughing.
Yeah, and it just was a huge 

301
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:09,400
gift. 
Well, I love that show and it 

302
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,800
was so good. 
It was I mean, I like the thread

303
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,600
like this. 
I'd like to think so, but I 

304
00:15:16,608 --> 00:15:20,100
don't feel that way but 
ironically about weirdly. 

305
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:26,400
I mean, I love it and I love. 
So thank you to go back to I did

306
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,200
I had the schedule Kroll Show. 
And yeah, the full story is that

307
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,200
I had a I was dating a woman who
I was supposed to do publicity 

308
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,400
with right and she broke up with
me. 

309
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:45,000
Well, not even she had her most 
she, oh my God, it's so crazy. 

310
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,200
But we were supposed to do that 
together and then and then she 

311
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:54,300
wouldn't come back to shoot my 
pilot and I was like, maybe this

312
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:57,600
isn't the best thing about our 
relationship and then. 

313
00:15:58,300 --> 00:16:00,900
So then I was hadn't broken up 
and she was like, I don't wanna 

314
00:16:00,900 --> 00:16:03,800
you were soon as I can. 
Come, I can't come back to shoot

315
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:08,800
your pilot. 
And I was like my rap that pilot

316
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,400
and went to visit her and then 
she broke up with me 

317
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,300
foreshadowing. 
Yeah, but it was in so many ways

318
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,600
such a blessing because and the 
the biggest one was that we got 

319
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:25,300
to do that together and I think 
being a parent. 

320
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,100
I mean, I always have been a 
crier but like being a parent 

321
00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:31,200
just makes you like cry, I cry 
all the time. 

322
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,400
So I think about doing that, 
doing that with you and doing 

323
00:16:35,700 --> 00:16:38,800
and I knew that you would just 
end by the way, your hair on the

324
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,600
pilot of Kroll Show is kind of 
blob because I had been fired. 

325
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:48,200
You got fired on fire. 
So you're back. 

326
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,900
You weren't platinum. 
Blond disgusting likes and it's 

327
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,900
actually cool and it's and it's 
still I mean again, it's the 

328
00:16:57,300 --> 00:17:01,100
it's the first one is the pilot 
was the Mitch hurwitz plays. 

329
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,300
A the creator of Arrested 
Development plays a guy who 

330
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:08,000
wants it and it's a weed. 
It's a bunch of dogs and bikinis

331
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,099
and cupcakes and vicky864 
cancer. 

332
00:17:11,099 --> 00:17:16,900
Yeah, and I'm Katie Cupcakes 
for, I can't even anyway, and 

333
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:19,200
then we did three seasons of 
that and you played a number of 

334
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,099
characters on the show, but 
publicity I get more almost 

335
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:27,099
almost more than anything. 
I get Reflections on publicity 

336
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,400
of how much people love it. 
Yeah. 

337
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,800
Yeah. 
The comedy is actually just So I

338
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:40,800
mean I just felt I don't think I
actually have a ton of regrets 

339
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000
but I felt regret that I did not
let myself. 

340
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,600
Feel how cool that was at the 
time. 

341
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,600
Like not like I stopped myself, 
but I was so ashamed of getting 

342
00:17:51,900 --> 00:17:55,800
fired from SNL and I did have a 
little bit of that. 

343
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,300
Like I want to be a movie star 
on him. 

344
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:02,000
Yeah. 
I didn't really appreciate. 

345
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:08,000
She ate how like Renegade that 
show was and that like, you 

346
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,500
know, now I understand that when
you feel he's in the moment and 

347
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:15,400
your output is just like turbo, 
like you're just a massive 

348
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400
amount of output and you're 
laughing and you can feel 

349
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:22,000
velocity in your performance, 
which I definitely feel in stand

350
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,300
up. 
But that like that means that 

351
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:29,900
it's, it's a living treasure. 
And like, now I get it and I can

352
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:34,100
watch it and be like, oh, This 
is really cool. 

353
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,400
And we did actually, I think lay
groundwork for something. 

354
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:39,500
I hope so. 
I mean I think about it. 

355
00:18:39,508 --> 00:18:41,900
I was just trying to think of 
like what the analogy would be. 

356
00:18:41,900 --> 00:18:45,000
It's like and I'm not I'm not 
much of a tennis player at all. 

357
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,200
But it's like imagine you and 
your friend could just hit the 

358
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,900
ball as hard as you want back 
and forth like just like like 

359
00:18:52,900 --> 00:18:55,700
and that's what it felt like 
doing that show specifically 

360
00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:58,500
with you and and the other 
Partnerships are was like 

361
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:01,700
Mulaney or Chelsea Peretti or 
whoever Jon Daly. 

362
00:19:02,100 --> 00:19:04,400
There was just this feeling of 
like total. 

363
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,900
Yeah, and it was because of the 
format to is like it was reality

364
00:19:07,900 --> 00:19:10,100
TV. 
So there was a real looseness to

365
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,900
how it was structured for us to 
be able to do whatever we 

366
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:16,800
wanted. 
Yeah, and I mean again, I mean, 

367
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,800
I you're like doing that with u 
and W and being able to perform 

368
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,700
with you and watching you 
perform was is like, truly 

369
00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:27,100
electric like your, your 
performance is electric. 

370
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,200
So we do that. 
Yeah. 

371
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:34,300
And And we we do a couple movies
together. 

372
00:19:34,500 --> 00:19:37,700
I think both at a time when both
of us were like it still was 

373
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:38,800
like it's such an interesting 
thing. 

374
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,400
There are not many people who I 
have feel. 

375
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:43,800
There. 
Are there people who you share a

376
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,800
career trajectories with and 
somewhere other. 

377
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,200
But there's also this feeling of
like, like you're, you're from 

378
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Kroll Show, you're an amazingly 
funny. 

379
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,800
So if so funny, electrically 
funny, but also a really good 

380
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,600
actor. 
And so there's this feeling. 

381
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,900
If you feel like you can act 
that like, Like comedians, I 

382
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:05,600
think a lot of comic actors and 
comedians go through this period

383
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,900
where they're like, I also want 
everyone to know that I can 

384
00:20:08,900 --> 00:20:11,500
really act and I'm a good actor 
and then I can be in serious 

385
00:20:11,500 --> 00:20:14,000
stuff as well. 
Yeah, I think that relates to 

386
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,900
the first thing you asked, which
is like, you know, did was it 

387
00:20:17,908 --> 00:20:20,600
always comedy for you? 
Because there is something 

388
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,200
about. 
Now, I understand that being 

389
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,400
taken seriously, just means 
understanding what I like to do.

390
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,300
And, and having like, the 
freedom and power to do it and 

391
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:35,500
the access to Do it, but it used
to be like hitting these odds 

392
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:38,800
standards. 
Yeah, you know, that, that ended

393
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,800
up themselves being brutal or 
like kind of abusive towards 

394
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,300
myself. 
But but there is that moment I 

395
00:20:46,308 --> 00:20:49,400
think for a lot of comedians 
where it's like, but I also can 

396
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,900
do like, what Mary Tyler Moore 
did right, you know? 

397
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:56,200
Yeah. 
Yeah, and I don't think that 

398
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,200
instinct is wrong. 
No, it's not a bad thing to to 

399
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,000
want to be able like I want to 
do everything. 

400
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,400
A thing, you know what I mean, 
but I do think in the back of it

401
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,200
at least in my head. 
It was always like why do 

402
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,800
comedy? 
Because I love doing common. 

403
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,800
It always want to be funny and 
entertaining but also like I do 

404
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,200
like it's like I want to win an 
Oscar for best actor. 

405
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:14,800
Right. 
Right. 

406
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Right now and you're like it's 
stuck in your head that that's 

407
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,200
like part of it which I think 
leads partly into the real. 

408
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:29,400
The reason we're here which is 
which is your the movie that you

409
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,000
have coming out through a 24 
called Marcel the Shell. 

410
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:33,600
The shoes on is that the full 
title? 

411
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:40,000
That is the full title which to 
me is such a beautiful 

412
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,900
encapsulation of what you do and
I'll talk about Dean in the 

413
00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:47,700
hole, the larger picture of it 
all but like of what you do 

414
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:52,300
which is to be super funny and 
specific in your humor, but then

415
00:21:52,400 --> 00:22:00,400
incredibly emotional incredibly 
just super beautiful resonant 

416
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,000
vulnerable. 
It's inside of it. 

417
00:22:04,100 --> 00:22:08,500
So it's, it is this beautiful 
and, and I think Marcel. 

418
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,700
What starts? 
What 10 years, 12 years ago. 

419
00:22:11,700 --> 00:22:13,800
When does it come out? 
Yeah, it. 

420
00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:18,600
Yeah, we made it in August of 
2010. 

421
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:21,100
Wow. 
Okay, so that comes out. 

422
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:23,900
You, you put it on. 
You put on YouTube or Vimeo, 

423
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,800
Vimeos on Vimeo and everyone 
finds it and falls in love with 

424
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
it. 
Yeah, which was weird. 

425
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,200
Yeah, it for, I mean, at least 
for me at I think Dean's always 

426
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,900
been better at the internet in 
general, like comfortable with 

427
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:40,000
it. 
Yeah, I didn't understand that 

428
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,800
capacity in general. 
Like, I didn't understand that, 

429
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,300
that could even happen. 
Yeah. 

430
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,100
At all. 
And I wasn't, I guess very 

431
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,800
interested in it and I can't 
even also think, I don't know. 

432
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,700
That I knew an example of like, 
a quote unquote viral hit. 

433
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:57,500
Yeah, at that time. 
Well, that it was I mean there 

434
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:00,900
was some version of that but 
that was was a viral hit. 

435
00:23:00,900 --> 00:23:02,200
It was a viral hit. 
Hit. 

436
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,500
Yeah, and we like, watched it 
happen like throughout the day. 

437
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:08,000
Wow. 
Yeah, and we were like look like

438
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,300
I remember and you remember that
apartment that I used to have an

439
00:23:11,300 --> 00:23:11,800
in? 
Brooklyn. 

440
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,600
Did you ever go to any parties 
there? 

441
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,500
It was a tiny but very beautiful
apartment. 

442
00:23:17,500 --> 00:23:20,900
I remember like kind of standing
in there being like well, we're 

443
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,500
at 800. 
That's crazy. 

444
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:29,500
We're at 800 and then then a big
leap like being at like 38 

445
00:23:29,500 --> 00:23:31,900
thousand by maybe the end of 
that. 

446
00:23:32,100 --> 00:23:35,200
Or the end of the next day and 
then it like going crazy 

447
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,300
million. 
Yeah. 

448
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,300
Yeah, which is its and it will 
because there had been nothing 

449
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,800
like it. 
So it there been nothing like it

450
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,700
and I just try to burp off off 
mic. 

451
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:53,200
Well, did you tell me? 
Yeah, and and then, and then, I 

452
00:23:53,200 --> 00:24:03,100
remember many that is so it's 
just So, you know what it is. 

453
00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:09,500
It's always like so cousin E. 
Yeah, Yeah cousin. 

454
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,500
Yeah, it's cousin he's stuff. 
But yeah. 

455
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:14,400
You burped, I beside you and I 
didn't even get it out. 

456
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,400
That was the bomber. 
Is it? 

457
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Like it's like caught up on my 
side. 

458
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,900
Caught up right around the 
Adam's apples bottleneck. 

459
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:23,300
That's so painful. 
Yeah, so, but so then. 

460
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,000
And then I remember, I don't 
know how many years ago. 

461
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,500
This was that you guys had 
gotten like it was like they 

462
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:32,300
want to we're going to make a 
movie of this but it's been Did 

463
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:36,700
the actual beginning of, I mean,
it's been so long so long. 

464
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:43,800
Yeah, so like we Dean and I 
moved out to LA in 2012 and we 

465
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,500
were kind of, we were like 
taking meetings with bigs with 

466
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:49,700
like Studios and also everything
was different. 

467
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:51,500
Then. 
Yes, there was no Netflix. 

468
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,900
Making anything but DVDs to your
physical. 

469
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:57,400
Mailbox. 
Yes, Amazon was still think it 

470
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,300
was a paper mill. 
Thing was a big mistake for them

471
00:24:59,300 --> 00:25:04,900
to get off of that stream. 
Yeah, I also like I think I 

472
00:25:04,900 --> 00:25:09,800
still have a subscription for 
DVDs in it and Incredibly 

473
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:16,300
scratched copy of being there 
somewhere in my house, just like

474
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:18,800
like, and I've never returned 
it. 

475
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:21,000
Oh my god. 
I think I'm still paying for the

476
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,200
DVD subscription and of Netflix.
I I think I am too, but we like 

477
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,900
none of those meetings made 
sense. 

478
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:32,400
They all really smacked of like 
selling out like it was Like 

479
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,100
yeah, Marcel's so great. 
What if you paired him with? 

480
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:40,200
Literally like a just a tall 
white guy who probably wasn't 

481
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,300
even in discussion. 
Like they were throwing out 

482
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:44,900
names like about Ryan Reynolds. 
Jason Segel. 

483
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:48,400
We were like, did you ask them? 
Like, they're just like tall and

484
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,900
funny but like, did you ask 
them? 

485
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:52,300
Yeah, you know, this is like, 
feels like you guys are. 

486
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:55,800
There's back-channel here, like,
nobody talk to them, right? 

487
00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:59,500
So there's the interest from. 
Have you heard of Jenny's 

488
00:25:59,500 --> 00:26:01,600
ladies? 
Like, no Marcin, you don't 

489
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,000
worry. 
All the shows interest in 

490
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,300
collaborating with you on 
something Ryan. 

491
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,400
We could have told him that you 
were interested in as well. 

492
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,900
Yeah, and then the agents are 
like, I fucking told her. 

493
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:18,100
What am I gonna do now? 
But anyway, so no, those didn't 

494
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,700
work for us. 
I don't know if any of that 

495
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,600
happened actually, but but, but 
we did take those meetings. 

496
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,100
We were like, Marcel with this 
person. 

497
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,900
We were like, but why not Marcel
just like alone in the house and

498
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,300
they were like, that's not 
anything. 

499
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,800
And we were like, well, it's 
actually like the hole. 

500
00:26:32,100 --> 00:26:37,700
Yeah, actually. 
And you know, I'm I'm really 

501
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:39,800
there was never a moment where 
we were like, we should change 

502
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,800
it. 
It just was very clear. 

503
00:26:41,900 --> 00:26:46,100
Yeah, it's like I would just 
rather I would rather this be on

504
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:51,500
the internet as it was, then it 
be ruined by by somebody who 

505
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:54,900
never could have made it. 
Yeah, you just have to try to 

506
00:26:54,900 --> 00:27:00,800
keep working with people who, at
least, understand how to hold 

507
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,400
up. 
What was originally Lie there, I

508
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,700
think. 
Yeah, and so, we like waited a 

509
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,700
long time. 
Then Liz home, who produced 

510
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:12,500
Obvious, Child and landline, and
my special stage fright. 

511
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,400
I was like, Liz, can you help us
produce this? 

512
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:20,300
And find someone who can who can
give us money to not change it 

513
00:27:20,300 --> 00:27:23,800
but just to expand it. 
And she did, she found the 

514
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:27,900
people at sinner each who are 
incredible, incredible 

515
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:32,500
collaborators and and financed 
our film and gave You know, 

516
00:27:32,500 --> 00:27:36,600
Final Cut and like, yeah, all 
the stuff that you never get. 

517
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,000
They gave us that which is kind 
of the only way that this movie 

518
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,300
could be what it is. 
Yeah, and like, that's why I 

519
00:27:44,300 --> 00:27:46,900
mean, sitting here doing an a 24
podcast. 

520
00:27:46,900 --> 00:27:49,200
I also would like to know more 
about how everything everywhere 

521
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,700
all at once got me. 
Because that film also is like 

522
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:55,800
pretty. 
Yeah, it's just pretty, it 

523
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,400
doesn't have a lot of boundaries
or it doesn't, it doesn't it say

524
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,800
takes every risk, and we were 
allowed to do that with more. 

525
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,200
All to. 
So anyway that happened around. 

526
00:28:06,300 --> 00:28:10,000
I want to say like 2013 maybe 
2014. 

527
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,900
I remember you being like I 
think Liz helped us find 

528
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:16,800
something that and yeah. 
Yeah, and I mean we took a big 

529
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,200
round of meetings. 
None of them worked. 

530
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,300
And then we finally found sinner
each and they really agreed to 

531
00:28:23,300 --> 00:28:27,300
finance our film off of an a 
treatment and to let us 

532
00:28:27,300 --> 00:28:31,800
improvise. 
Mmm, hours, and hours and hours.

533
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:35,200
Is of audio like 100 hours of 
audio, I want to say, I might be

534
00:28:35,208 --> 00:28:36,800
wrong. 
Maybe less. 

535
00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:39,400
Yeah, sure, but that makes 
sense. 

536
00:28:39,500 --> 00:28:43,600
And then and then you start to 
put together the pieces. 

537
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:48,800
But I mean, it's such a I mean I
had obviously seen the shorts 

538
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,100
and I have an and your the book 
that you guys did and and and 

539
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:58,600
I've known you and Dean forever 
and and in the but the film is 

540
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,200
like so much. 
It's exactly what I want. 

541
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,700
One who's seen the shorts? 
And even if you haven't doesn't 

542
00:29:04,700 --> 00:29:08,800
matter, if you seen the church 
or not, even it's such a, it's 

543
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:14,500
exactly the heightening scope 
and and emotional heightening 

544
00:29:14,500 --> 00:29:18,500
that you, that you that you 
would want from it, you know, it

545
00:29:18,500 --> 00:29:21,400
is such a because it's like, you
know, it's supposed to be really

546
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,600
small, but then, but, but when 
you make a film of something 

547
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,100
that has to be a bigger small, 
it does have to be a big or 

548
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:33,500
small as they always say, but 
it's so, So in the end, so you 

549
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:37,300
guys sort of started to figure 
out the story and and put it all

550
00:29:37,300 --> 00:29:39,200
together. 
I mean, it's I can't even. 

551
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,600
And then you who's the, you guys
had a the stop-motion house that

552
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,200
you guys work with? 
We worked with the chiodo 

553
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,800
brothers. 
Yeah, who did like the, you 

554
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,100
know, they did like the opening 
sequence to Pee-wee's Playhouse.

555
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,200
Uh-huh. 
They're really like they're, 

556
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,800
they're really like old-school 
animators. 

557
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,800
Yeah, and and then our animation
director was Kiersten lat. 

558
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,500
Or hmm, and she is incredible. 
She's incredible. 

559
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:12,900
I mean, even I'm now I've seen 
Marcel incompletion, I think for

560
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:13,800
time. 
Yeah. 

561
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:18,300
And what I realized the last 
time is like, obviously, because

562
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:22,200
I am so, like, fused with 
Marcel, sometimes I watch it and

563
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400
I forget that he's not 
improvising his body movements, 

564
00:30:25,700 --> 00:30:28,500
right? 
And that a person who's not him 

565
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:31,800
had to be like here's how to 
make it look like he is. 

566
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:34,600
Is literally having a physical 
form in a moment. 

567
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,600
That's existing and none of it 
is, you know, none of it is. 

568
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,300
None of it can happen. 
Unless somebody else does. 

569
00:30:40,300 --> 00:30:43,500
Those tiny details wasn't 
Kirsten's Incredibles eyelids. 

570
00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:48,300
Everybody's yeah. 
Like his eyelids and Nana 

571
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:50,900
Connie's Island. 
I mean, it's just like the I 

572
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,800
like having done obviously 
animation, but I'm can't say 

573
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:58,800
that I'm like responsible for 
every, you know, moment and big 

574
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,700
mouth and all that stuff, but I 
but seeing It's like knowing 

575
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:06,400
what expressive eyes, what? 
And and it's this crazy thing 

576
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,700
because I know it's like you 
only have one eye. 

577
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,900
Yeah, and you got a line of a 
mouth. 

578
00:31:12,900 --> 00:31:17,700
Yeah, like there's no, I there's
so many things that lead to good

579
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:22,900
acting and animation that you 
guys sort of don't allow 

580
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:27,400
yourself to have it is and then 
she's able to. 

581
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,100
They're the team is able to pull
out these crazy emotional 

582
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,100
performances. 
From. 

583
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:36,900
Yeah, from very few elements and
bodies that are stiff, you know,

584
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:39,700
and like Marcel's physicality, 
like his shell, doesn't like 

585
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,100
move. 
Yeah, you know, and yeah, his 

586
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:47,500
shoes walk but there's not, you 
know, like a little bungee cord 

587
00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:50,600
or something there. 
So, a couple, I mean, I wrote 

588
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,600
down notes and I'm not going to 
pull them out, but I because I 

589
00:31:53,608 --> 00:31:56,900
buddy, even though I want you 
but like, like so there's mom if

590
00:31:56,900 --> 00:31:58,600
you want to, it's not cheating. 
It's not cheating. 

591
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,900
So, there's a moment. 
I mean, it's throughout the 

592
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:04,500
film, and This is not a of this 
doesn't ruin the plot for 

593
00:32:04,500 --> 00:32:07,100
everybody. 
But Marcel when he gets in plans

594
00:32:07,100 --> 00:32:10,500
to gets huge fan. 
Yes, big fat does under Rooney. 

595
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:15,900
Yeah, to travel around his house
Marcel is a tiny Shell with 

596
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:19,200
Shoes On and to get around his 
house. 

597
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,400
Sometimes he walks on walls and 
he steps in Honey to do that. 

598
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,900
Yeah, like where does where do 
those? 

599
00:32:24,900 --> 00:32:26,800
I'd like how does that stuff? 
Come to be? 

600
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,400
Like, where does that come from?
Well, that one I think 

601
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:33,500
specifically came from Nick 
Paley who is Our third writer 

602
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:39,200
and, you know, Dean and I we 
there was a very complex process

603
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,400
to like, making this movie. 
Generally. 

604
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,300
It's not just like a sitting 
down and and improvising but 

605
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:51,000
many rounds of it and then Nick 
and Dean going off together and 

606
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,600
being like, okay, the stories 
coming together. 

607
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,200
We had an idea, but it changed a
lot. 

608
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,900
And within each round of 
improvising they would get 

609
00:32:57,900 --> 00:33:01,000
together and start to gather The
Improv into a script. 

610
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,200
And then be like Okay, there are
there like these moments? 

611
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,500
We need to sharpen it. 
We need Marcel to say this and 

612
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:08,900
they would like bring me back 
the line. 

613
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,000
And then I kind of like say 
something different or say, you 

614
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,200
know, like it just kept being 
open. 

615
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:18,700
But in between it would be like 
these other discussions of like 

616
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:21,500
how does Marcel even live? 
Like what how does he do is life

617
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:25,400
and there were just kind of be 
these like like long lists from 

618
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,200
people. 
I mean kind of like we started 

619
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,100
in the original Short being like
guess how I do this. 

620
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:35,000
Yeah, you know and that That was
like a game built into how you 

621
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,200
see him. 
Yeah, but Nick Paley, I believe 

622
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,200
came up with the honey. 
I mean, there's so many great 

623
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,600
like Swiss Family Robinson. 
Yeah, totally things throughout 

624
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,900
like when you see this sets 
built out and you see like how 

625
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:51,000
he like gets oranges or how he 
like all that stuff. 

626
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:58,200
It's so it's so fun and it's 
like I want to say Whimsical but

627
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,200
it's actually the opposite of 
whimsical. 

628
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,500
It's like utilitarian and yeah, 
Away, yeah, you like his, you're

629
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:06,200
like there's nothing Whimsical 
about how do you get aren't if 

630
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,199
you're a tiny show. 
How do you get oranges out of 

631
00:34:08,199 --> 00:34:09,699
the top of a tree? 
Yeah. 

632
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,400
Oh, they're Ginkgo berries. 
Oh, they're Ginkgo Barry. 

633
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,699
Yeah, they just look like 
oranges I guess next to him 

634
00:34:14,699 --> 00:34:17,699
because he's so small. 
Yes, but that's so fun. 

635
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:22,800
There was a there there, there 
was a discarded plot line where 

636
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,699
Marcel is trying to get his 
grandmother's memory to sharpen 

637
00:34:26,699 --> 00:34:29,300
because he reads that ginkgo 
biloba. 

638
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,300
Yeah. 
Yeah, you say it can go build a 

639
00:34:31,308 --> 00:34:33,400
little bit. 
Is good for your memory? 

640
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,500
And so there's like, yeah, there
was a, the film kind of was 

641
00:34:38,500 --> 00:34:40,300
like, it would just had so many 
different versions. 

642
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:43,100
Some of, which were like, 
they're barely surviving, you 

643
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:47,000
know, and right, we're like we 
tried to figure out, like, what 

644
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:52,000
level of emergency is 
interesting to us to show. 

645
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,900
And at the very start of the 
film, like Marcel says, I'm not 

646
00:34:56,900 --> 00:35:00,300
trying to just like survive. 
I'm trying to have like a good 

647
00:35:00,300 --> 00:35:06,400
life on a daily. 
Asus and, and, and so, like he 

648
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,800
is on an adventure, you can 
totally say that. 

649
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,900
But also it's real and there's 
real loss and it's cute, but it,

650
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:17,000
but its necessary. 
Yeah, it's I mean, that's what 

651
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,800
you guys have done beautifully. 
And it is like, fused this idea 

652
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,500
of like whatever the, you know, 
whatever movie seems we seem to 

653
00:35:23,500 --> 00:35:25,900
have to make which, like, some 
sort of hero's journey, you 

654
00:35:25,900 --> 00:35:29,300
know. 
Yeah, but it feels so grounded 

655
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:33,300
and and frankly human inside of 
Like what that journey is and 

656
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:38,300
how he's going about it. 
You're the I don't want to spoil

657
00:35:38,300 --> 00:35:42,100
anything. 
But like when he gets rid of the

658
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:44,500
breast implants, when he gets, 
this isn't me? 

659
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:46,400
This isn't me? 
And I hate these because longer 

660
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,300
Rooney's. 
So crazy, it is. 

661
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:54,200
I found the end. 
I found this stuff around him 

662
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,900
and wanting to protect his 
grandmother. 

663
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:59,600
Really interesting. 
Yeah, where's what does that 

664
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:05,500
come from? 
Well for me and I can only say 

665
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:08,700
for me because Nana Connie that 
character although my own 

666
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,600
grandmother as you know, his 
name, Nana Connie. 

667
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,300
Yes, and there's a large element
to this film. 

668
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:18,700
That is what you would call Auto
fiction and Dean is named Dean. 

669
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:27,500
And it's I think that when 
there's only one other person 

670
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:33,500
who remembers the beauty of your
past because they were there. 

671
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,000
Hmm. 
And there's nobody left who 

672
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,300
remembers it and they're 
starting to go into old age and 

673
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:45,500
they're starting to see things 
differently and have different 

674
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:50,100
capabilities and lose their 
strength in mind and body. 

675
00:36:52,300 --> 00:36:55,300
You know, you can cloak it in 
like I'm just caring for them. 

676
00:36:55,700 --> 00:37:00,000
But there's also a desperation 
of like, please don't please 

677
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,900
don't leave me as the only 
person who remembers what 

678
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:05,400
happened. 
Sure because I don't know how to

679
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,200
hold it and still be light on my
feet and need to be light on my 

680
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,200
feet in order to be myself and 
live. 

681
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,700
But if I have to hold the truth 
of the way, everything went down

682
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:19,100
and I still don't have a way to 
put it to rest. 

683
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,200
I just don't know what will 
become of me. 

684
00:37:21,900 --> 00:37:24,400
And what Marcel has to learn 
through? 

685
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,800
His grandmother is like he's 
he's hiding behind that care. 

686
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:32,000
Yeah, and he's hiding within 
that act because he's afraid 

687
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,600
that what will come next will be
less than what he already has 

688
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,600
right now, which is, you know, 
he already lives with loss. 

689
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,300
Yeah, but but yeah, I mean, you 
know, he has to move through 

690
00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:47,200
that and that sounds really 
heavy, but that's always been 

691
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,700
the weird thing about me and 
Marcel. 

692
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:53,300
Is that like, I I just like to 
be Marcel because he's less, 

693
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,100
he's I think he's like more 
capable than I am. 

694
00:37:56,100 --> 00:38:01,100
Hmm, you know. 
Yeah, he's more in. 

695
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:05,100
He's got more Ingenuity. 
Or is it like he's stronger. 

696
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:06,100
Like what is it? 
What is it? 

697
00:38:06,100 --> 00:38:09,000
That you feel? 
I think, I think, I mean, you 

698
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000
know, if everything is like to 
scale, he's a like physically 

699
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,600
stronger individual than I am 
and he's more industrious. 

700
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,000
Hmm. 
He's just he's way more 

701
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:27,200
industrious and and rugged I am 
but also like he has less of he 

702
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,600
has, like less interference from
his own psyche. 

703
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:33,700
Mmm. 
And so, he just goes direct and 

704
00:38:33,700 --> 00:38:39,300
he is often times. 
Like, he appears innocent to us,

705
00:38:39,300 --> 00:38:42,800
because he's so unaware of how 
he comes off. 

706
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,100
Right? 
And I'm a performer. 

707
00:38:45,100 --> 00:38:46,600
So, I am aware of how I come 
off. 

708
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,000
Yeah, but I found inside of 
this, there are these much more 

709
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,700
like Especially like around 
caring for his grandmother or 

710
00:38:52,700 --> 00:38:54,700
whatever. 
Like there's he he really is. 

711
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:56,900
It gets a little hard. 
Yeah, he does. 

712
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:59,900
He's like he's sort of is like 
no, we're not doing that like 

713
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:03,400
and it's like, you know way 
that's very sure and forthright 

714
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,200
about it, even though he's 
clearly struggling to figure out

715
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,400
what he's supposed to do. 
Yeah, Marcel's attitude when he 

716
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,900
has attitude like that moment 
where he's like, I don't have 

717
00:39:11,900 --> 00:39:14,100
enough time in my day and now 
she has attitude and like I 

718
00:39:14,107 --> 00:39:16,500
don't even like that. 
That's just how I sound when I'm

719
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:22,600
angry. 
Yeah, and I I mean like I think 

720
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,900
Dean and I both use this film in
the ways that sometimes you use 

721
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:30,600
your own art to just allow parts
of yourself that you don't love 

722
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
to be repurposed into something 
that feels better. 

723
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,600
And that's that for me, for 
sure. 

724
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:42,200
And I like that Marcel he does, 
you know, like the cliche 

725
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,200
version of him would be like he 
does just hop into adventures 

726
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,900
and he's like so small, but he's
down to do it like, you know, 

727
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:52,700
and actually that's not his way.
No, he really doesn't want to 

728
00:39:52,700 --> 00:39:57,200
be. 
He really sees a way in, which 

729
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,500
his life could just be a lot 
worse and he's afraid and he's 

730
00:40:01,500 --> 00:40:05,500
like, he's like rigid in that. 
Well, I mean, it's mean. 

731
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:09,500
It's when you think about when 
you when when everybody here 

732
00:40:09,500 --> 00:40:12,500
listening to this podcast sees 
the movie you'll understand. 

733
00:40:12,500 --> 00:40:13,700
Why, right? 
I guess. 

734
00:40:13,700 --> 00:40:17,800
I like maybe this is boring for 
people know, it's I mean, it's 

735
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,800
to me, it's very interesting and
I think people it's One of these

736
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,400
things, you it, defies defies 
explanation. 

737
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:28,200
You really just have to see it. 
And it's really, it's very 

738
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,200
special. 
Don't you just feel like a lot 

739
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,000
of the work you've made. 
You got in just under the wire 

740
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,600
before people started to say 
like we just don't get what we 

741
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,000
just can't figure out how this 
goes into the algorithm or 

742
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000
something. 
Now, with Marcel coming out. 

743
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:46,200
I'm so aware that like, there's 
so many ways that this movie, 

744
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,600
never would have gotten made, 
and it's completely untampered 

745
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,800
with it. 
Like it's really really what we 

746
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,200
wanted it to be and I'm just 
like, I don't know. 

747
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,900
I just don't know that that 
would happen. 

748
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:00,700
Now. 
I know but the truth is, it did 

749
00:41:00,900 --> 00:41:03,500
it did and so I'm like, really, 
really enjoy. 

750
00:41:03,500 --> 00:41:07,200
And that's what's and I mean, 
going back to the beginning of 

751
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,800
this like of like needing 
glasses are being like, oh, 

752
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,800
we're we're not beginning. 
We're not in the beginning of 

753
00:41:13,808 --> 00:41:17,200
this thing of our careers, are 
our lives at all. 

754
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,500
And so you begin to have a 
Little more awareness and 

755
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:24,500
hopefully inside of that 
gratitude that you're like, oh 

756
00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:26,900
we get to do this and we got it 
in Under The Wire. 

757
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:30,300
Yeah, and and and there's 
another side of that thing. 

758
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:33,400
Can be like the Panic of like 
does wait does that mean I won't

759
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,100
be able to keep doing this stuff
for sure. 

760
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,400
I mean in a weird way I am not a
morbid person nor do I almost 

761
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,000
ever, think about death 
suffering a lot. 

762
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,600
I'm like, oh my God. 
I really don't want to break my 

763
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,700
ankle and like have a cast and 
have my pants like be hard to 

764
00:41:47,707 --> 00:41:52,600
put on like that but But I do 
feel this feeling now, 

765
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,400
especially since like, I have a 
daughter and I I'm only going to

766
00:41:56,408 --> 00:41:58,300
have one baby. 
So I'm like, oh my God, 

767
00:41:58,300 --> 00:41:59,800
everyday, every moment. 
She gets older. 

768
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,000
I'm like, oh no, she's getting 
bigger. 

769
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,000
I mean, like I want her to but 
also don't and there's like, 

770
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,200
wow, she's going to be big one 
day and all of this that I'm 

771
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,700
like it. 
I have a normal. 

772
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:15,900
I think healthy feeling of like,
I don't know. 

773
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:17,500
I don't know. 
When the next thing I'm going to

774
00:42:17,500 --> 00:42:24,200
make is, I don't know. 
And so Like I wish like when 

775
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,400
Obvious Child came out that I 
had enjoyed it a little bit 

776
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,400
more. 
I definitely enjoyed it and we 

777
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,900
like had a really fun, press 
tour. 

778
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:32,800
But I was also caught up in 
other stuff. 

779
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,100
Yeah, you know like cheaper 
vanities that that really 

780
00:42:37,500 --> 00:42:41,500
impeded me on a daily basis. 
Yeah, and I also don't know I 

781
00:42:41,508 --> 00:42:48,200
was like a much younger woman 
then sure but now I feel really 

782
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,900
free to enjoy myself. 
Italy, because I'm like, I don't

783
00:42:51,900 --> 00:42:53,600
know. 
Like, I don't know when I'll 

784
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:58,400
ever if I'll ever make anything 
like this again or be Marcel in 

785
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,000
performance, you know, uh-huh. 
Like I can be him. 

786
00:43:02,100 --> 00:43:05,500
I am him to myself a lot worse. 
I talk to the baby in that 

787
00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:06,500
voice. 
You do. 

788
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,700
Oh, yeah, and she does love it. 
Yeah, I bet she loves like Ave 

789
00:43:11,700 --> 00:43:15,000
Maria in that voice for example,
like singing in that boys. 

790
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,200
Love it. 
Yeah. 

791
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,000
It's easier for me to sing and 
character than it is as myself. 

792
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,300
Me, too. 
Me, too. 

793
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,500
Yeah, sing a beautiful song. 
What is the song that Marcel 

794
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,300
sings in its Peaceful Easy 
Feeling by The Eagles? 

795
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:28,600
Wait, so do you have the rights 
to an eagle song? 

796
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,700
Yeah, and you know what? 
What if I just left, aren't you 

797
00:43:33,700 --> 00:43:36,700
gonna guess that's what a great 
podcast. 

798
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:43,100
So I think like Dean would be 
fine with me telling the story. 

799
00:43:43,100 --> 00:43:47,500
But so it was like 2 a.m. 
And I couldn't sleep and I guess

800
00:43:47,500 --> 00:43:52,400
I I do like the eagles a lot. 
Weirdly not exactly my style 

801
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,000
like classic rock, but I like 
Story songs and he's like and 

802
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,500
don't you call Stereo Steely Dan
story song, Billy Joel Billy, 

803
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:01,400
Joel. 
Stories. 

804
00:44:01,500 --> 00:44:03,800
Yeah, he likes his story story. 
Thanks, right. 

805
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,900
And I like them too. 
And I made a voice recording. 

806
00:44:09,700 --> 00:44:12,100
Excuse me. 
I made a voice recording of that

807
00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:14,800
song. 
I'd like two in the morning and 

808
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,900
sent it to Dean and was like, is
this anything. 

809
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:23,300
And you know at the time he and 
I were like we were like at the 

810
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,900
we decided to get divorced and 
we were both dating other 

811
00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:28,300
people. 
We were, you know, there was 

812
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:31,400
like peace over that but it was 
like very Saying to us about how

813
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,600
to have like a friendship while 
it also collaborate on thing 

814
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,500
that you built together. 
Yeah, but we don't know. 

815
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:44,700
I mean we did have we were like,
you know just still in touch a 

816
00:44:44,707 --> 00:44:47,500
lot and just trying to push 
through that. 

817
00:44:47,500 --> 00:44:51,300
And so anyway, in like I sent it
to him and he was like, oh my 

818
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:54,200
God, you're killing me. 
This is like, what is this for? 

819
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:57,900
This has to be something and we 
just we were like it has to be 

820
00:44:57,900 --> 00:44:59,700
something. 
I love hearing Marcel sing that 

821
00:44:59,700 --> 00:45:02,900
song. 
And, and we did end up. 

822
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,300
We just recorded it one time. 
I think Dean has the footage of 

823
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:09,800
it. 
Like, we recorded it outside in 

824
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:15,400
a backyard and we were like, 
hopefully the Eagles will let us

825
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:20,500
have this song because it's kind
of like in the movie now, but 

826
00:45:20,500 --> 00:45:24,500
because it's so fascinating here
because like it's getting a song

827
00:45:24,500 --> 00:45:26,500
in a movie or show is really 
hard. 

828
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Yeah. 
Really hard. 

829
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,100
And there's publishing, then 
there's performed all that 

830
00:45:30,100 --> 00:45:31,800
stuff. 
And it's can be expensive. 

831
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:36,600
It's to me very funny that you 
went to historically, the most 

832
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,900
litigious band in. 
I didn't know that they're like,

833
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:44,300
they have sued each other each 
other. 

834
00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:47,700
So many times that it's so 
funny. 

835
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:51,800
But what it's a testament to the
project, the film and your voice

836
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,100
that they would sign off on 
that. 

837
00:45:53,100 --> 00:45:56,000
It's really nice. 
I mean, in credit like yeah, 

838
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:01,000
like I didn't know that. 
Oh my God, they they It's the 

839
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,200
most. 
I don't know if it's on their 

840
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,200
greatest hits, but it's like the
biggest selling album of all 

841
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:09,100
time that album sometimes my 
view of myself from outside of 

842
00:46:09,100 --> 00:46:12,500
myself as like, just a fool 
skipping over like lava pools 

843
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:15,100
without realizing like the 
terrain in any way, like I'm 

844
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:17,600
just like put this song in the 
movie Bobby do but even the 

845
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,400
popping that if that's the way 
things happen and you should go 

846
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,800
on floor is lava. 
I mean if you watch that edge, 

847
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,900
what's that? 
There's a show on Netflix where 

848
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:29,900
the thing is like floor is lava 
and it's like you have to like 

849
00:46:29,900 --> 00:46:31,700
jump from thing. 
The thing, or you get like 

850
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:34,200
caught in like lava. 
What's the lava though? 

851
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,200
It's lava. 
No, but I don't think it's 

852
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,100
really hot magma. 
But but if you squirted some 

853
00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:47,600
diarrhea in there, yeah. 
No, I don't want to go on that, 

854
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,300
but I did hear that Ina Garten 
has a show now where she like 

855
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:53,000
lets people come to her house in
the Hamptons and cooks for them.

856
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,000
And you like to do that. 
Yeah, I would just to say on a 

857
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:56,900
microphone literally that will 
go into outer space. 

858
00:46:56,900 --> 00:47:00,400
Like could I because I love her.
Well, let's get that going. 

859
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,400
Get Jenny slate on the line and 
Garden Show. 

860
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,200
Let's do that. 
Then we got to manifest. 

861
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,100
We got but to manifest so. 
So then, but I do love singing 

862
00:47:11,100 --> 00:47:12,600
that voice. 
Just it's beautiful. 

863
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,100
And it's, and it makes perfect 
sense. 

864
00:47:14,500 --> 00:47:17,600
I get it. 
I get it that leads. 

865
00:47:17,700 --> 00:47:19,300
I guess, who you've been making 
that movie forever? 

866
00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:23,300
And then I'll you, and I have 
not physically seen each other 

867
00:47:23,300 --> 00:47:25,000
in a really long time. 
Yeah. 

868
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:29,200
And in that time, you gave birth
to a baby. 

869
00:47:29,300 --> 00:47:31,600
Yeah. 
And My kamath. 

870
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,000
I became a father. 
Yeah, a month apart. 

871
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,600
We're like a month apart and our
kids are. 

872
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,800
And how are you? 
How you doing? 

873
00:47:41,300 --> 00:47:44,000
I think of doing great, you 
know, what's weird. 

874
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,000
I mean as you as you know, I 
didn't think I didn't really 

875
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,500
know that I would ever have 
kids. 

876
00:47:49,900 --> 00:47:54,100
It wasn't for me. 
I just didn't think I did and I 

877
00:47:54,107 --> 00:47:56,600
didn't know how that would take 
your into my life. 

878
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,400
Yeah, and certainly was never 
like some people have that is 

879
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,100
like, they're driving thing 
like, Will not be fully realized

880
00:48:02,100 --> 00:48:10,100
unless I enter Parenthood and I 
truly love having a baby like, 

881
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:13,800
I'm really tired. 
Yeah, I've never experienced 

882
00:48:14,100 --> 00:48:15,000
this. 
Yeah. 

883
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:20,100
Level of fatigue. 
Yeah, but I've never been more 

884
00:48:20,100 --> 00:48:26,200
happier more like secure or 
healthy in my life, and I just, 

885
00:48:27,100 --> 00:48:30,900
I'm glad I had a baby at 39 
because I know that if I'd Had a

886
00:48:30,908 --> 00:48:32,900
baby at 30 that I would have for
babies. 

887
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:37,600
Yeah, I get now we get it. 
You'd get addicted to it. 

888
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:41,900
Yeah, because and I don't know 
if you feel this way, but it's 

889
00:48:41,900 --> 00:48:47,200
like, you know, you when you 
have a baby, you have to figure 

890
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:52,200
out what it actually means to 
healthily love someone and not, 

891
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,100
like, be obsessed with them or 
hope you get something from 

892
00:48:55,100 --> 00:48:59,400
them, or be codependent with 
them, or whatever, all of the 

893
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,600
different iterations. 
I have thought were love before,

894
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,700
but like, how do you truly like,
nurture? 

895
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:08,300
They're like in their 
well-being. 

896
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:11,800
That's like the quote, from a 
bell hooks book that I read two 

897
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:14,100
summers ago that I'm like, oh, 
oh, okay. 

898
00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:16,500
Like to love someone means to 
nurture their spiritual 

899
00:49:16,500 --> 00:49:18,500
well-being. 
So what is that? 

900
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:21,100
And like, what's the difference 
between controlling them and 

901
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:25,900
caring for them? 
Mmm, and also that like, you're 

902
00:49:25,900 --> 00:49:30,100
allowed to love a baby Infinity.
Like you, it's never like too 

903
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,300
much. 
And you know, it's sure but but 

904
00:49:32,300 --> 00:49:35,000
I would as your bring it all up.
I'm like, huh? 

905
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,500
Cause I'm like, I am kind of 
obsessed with him. 

906
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:42,100
So like you are this Infinity 
love which I understand. 

907
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:48,900
I'm like, oh am I? 
Am I fucking him up by Mike? 

908
00:49:48,900 --> 00:49:51,400
Just constantly be like, you're 
so beautiful. 

909
00:49:51,500 --> 00:49:52,800
I don't know. 
Yeah, I don't think so. 

910
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,700
Yeah, there are other things 
like, I mean, do you feel like 

911
00:49:55,700 --> 00:49:56,900
that? 
Do you like? 

912
00:49:56,900 --> 00:49:58,600
What's your, what's your big 
take? 

913
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:01,900
This is sort of several, you're 
saying, but I, but it's like 

914
00:50:01,900 --> 00:50:03,700
it's very weird. 
When you see an expression or 

915
00:50:03,707 --> 00:50:07,900
something to see something that 
you've only felt interior. 

916
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:13,200
Yeah, in an exterior form, 
uh-huh, which is narcissistic. 

917
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,500
Ultimately. 
I know that I'm Saying I I see 

918
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:18,700
myself, but it's this weird 
thing where you're like, oh this

919
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:21,000
is half me and have someone 
else. 

920
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:25,600
And then it's also its own 
entity entirely and and like, 

921
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,200
and I think that's the great 
challenge of Parenthood is, 

922
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,200
you're like, you're like, oh I 
see this thing about myself that

923
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,500
I don't like, or this thing that
I like too much about myself or 

924
00:50:33,500 --> 00:50:35,100
this thing that I see about my 
spouse. 

925
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:39,700
That I like, or yeah, and, and, 
and it's like, it's just just, 

926
00:50:39,700 --> 00:50:46,500
it's, it's so Wild on I haven't 
even been able to fully 

927
00:50:46,500 --> 00:50:48,000
formulate my thoughts on all of 
it. 

928
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,100
Because so often times when I'm 
inside of something. 

929
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:54,500
I can't quite pull out to see 
what what it is that's happening

930
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,600
and I feel like with him right 
now. 

931
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:03,000
I'm like, all I can feel is 
like, I'm just watching a being 

932
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:07,800
take shape. 
Yeah, and I have some control 

933
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,100
over that because I'm the parent
one of the parents. 

934
00:51:11,500 --> 00:51:14,100
But also there is this thing of 
like they have come out with an 

935
00:51:14,100 --> 00:51:16,600
s. 
Since yeah, they do they really 

936
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,100
do and it's fucking wild but it,
I feel. 

937
00:51:20,500 --> 00:51:25,400
Yeah, I think I just, I feel 
like a level of, there's just 

938
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,600
some, it's just this other love 
that you have never experienced 

939
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,500
sounds so cliche, but it is, 
you're like, oh, there's just 

940
00:51:30,500 --> 00:51:32,100
this love that. 
I've never experienced before. 

941
00:51:32,100 --> 00:51:33,700
The yeah. 
Is this access? 

942
00:51:33,700 --> 00:51:35,900
This opens this door to this 
whole other? 

943
00:51:36,300 --> 00:51:38,800
This whole other house that I've
never been in. 

944
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,800
Yeah, a lot of stuff rolls off 
my back now. 

945
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,600
Hmm. 
Because there is a Love in my 

946
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:50,500
family between me and Ben and 
Ida and and I also think that's 

947
00:51:50,500 --> 00:51:53,700
why stand-up feels different for
me. 

948
00:51:53,700 --> 00:51:57,700
Yeah, like I got on stage and I 
mean, I think I've always, you 

949
00:51:57,700 --> 00:52:00,400
know, used what's happening in 
my life to make comedy. 

950
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,900
And that's also what Marcel is 
for sure, but that I was like, 

951
00:52:05,100 --> 00:52:07,700
trying to do stand-up about what
was happening right now, and I 

952
00:52:07,700 --> 00:52:09,600
was like, but I missed you 
years. 

953
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,400
I missed two years and I can't 
like be up there without talking

954
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,400
about what happened before. 
And one of the longer like I 

955
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,200
did, I was able to get like a 
half an hour at our set Irish 

956
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:23,800
show at Largo a couple weeks ago
and I was like, oh, all I have 

957
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,200
to do is tell the truth in the 
way that I tell it whatever, you

958
00:52:27,207 --> 00:52:30,600
know, but like oh like I've 
always known that and that's 

959
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,700
kind of been like my what my 
guarantee or whatever. 

960
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:36,800
Like when you're watching me. 
I'm trying to tell the truth. 

961
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:41,600
Yeah, but now I'm like, oh 
literally, actually that is all 

962
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,400
there is that it feels like so 
much relief. 

963
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:49,600
How are you doing? 
Figuring out what to share about

964
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,100
your child about your Merit? 
Like, how do you, where does 

965
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:55,000
that? 
How are you navigating that? 

966
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:58,900
I'm not talking about Ida a lot 
because I just don't feel like 

967
00:52:58,900 --> 00:53:03,300
she can say yes or no to that. 
I mean, she literally cannot say

968
00:53:03,300 --> 00:53:06,600
yes or no, so I don't talk about
that. 

969
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:14,700
But, you know, I I'm talking 
about like meeting Ben and That 

970
00:53:14,700 --> 00:53:20,100
like, although I mean when we, 
when we got married, I like read

971
00:53:20,100 --> 00:53:23,800
to him from my journal of the 
that I had like was writing in 

972
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:28,500
the weekend that we met and I 
hadn't remembered this. 

973
00:53:28,500 --> 00:53:31,300
But I looked back in it after we
got engaged to see like what 

974
00:53:31,300 --> 00:53:33,100
were my first impressions of 
him? 

975
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,500
And that that weekend I had 
written like this is such a 

976
00:53:36,500 --> 00:53:41,600
weird thing for me to write but 
I and like, maybe I'm just being

977
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,300
so weird about a stranger. 
But I actually, I feel that if I

978
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:47,200
could marry him, I would have 
the type of life. 

979
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,100
I would want to have. 
Wow, and that like, I actually 

980
00:53:50,100 --> 00:53:55,300
think he might be, I think he 
might be a person that I and my 

981
00:53:55,300 --> 00:53:58,000
own taste think is like living 
true beauty. 

982
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,600
Mmm, and I did feel that way. 
But then like I'm saying in my 

983
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,200
stand-up like we tried to get 
together and it like didn't work

984
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,200
out. 
It didn't work out at first and 

985
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,200
like and and we were both like 
it was bad timing. 

986
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:13,800
Yeah, and so I'm talking about 
that but but from my perspective

987
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,200
and like, You know, wanting to 
be respectful of him and so, I 

988
00:54:17,207 --> 00:54:22,300
always ask him. 
Yeah, but it is interesting, and

989
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:26,500
I can feel the weight of a liar,
cover up, or whatever. 

990
00:54:26,500 --> 00:54:30,400
If I just go on stage and say, 
like the funny, I met my husband

991
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,700
and like, you know, I I knew he 
was going to be my husband right

992
00:54:33,700 --> 00:54:37,400
away because actually I wanted 
him to be but like he didn't 

993
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:43,500
want to I mean, that's a it's a 
very yeah, I'm my because I'm 

994
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:46,400
been touring Aaron and I started
touring before the pandemic and 

995
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,000
was like, I had my our ready to 
go and then yeah the pandemic 

996
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,800
happen and then now I'm still 
like wrapping it up to like get 

997
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:59,100
ready to shoot as a special and 
and it is interesting now with 

998
00:54:59,100 --> 00:55:01,200
like, you know, because I've 
been time at the last couple 

999
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,800
years. 
It's like the tour is called 

1000
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,900
like middle-aged boy, right? 
Like so like in my manner a 

1001
00:55:05,908 --> 00:55:09,300
bully and then like I got 
married and had a child. 

1002
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:11,500
You're like, oh, I'm a man. 
I'm a boy. 

1003
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,600
I'm a boy. 
I'm gonna go nuts. 

1004
00:55:14,500 --> 00:55:18,100
I'm a boy, man. 
But no, I'm a, I'm a man and I 

1005
00:55:19,100 --> 00:55:24,100
know I'm a man, so, but it is 
this thing of like in talking as

1006
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,600
your time at, like a being like,
Oh, I'm going to tell the story 

1007
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,200
and then but involves Lily and 
I'm like, and it is like, hey, 

1008
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,600
can I talk about this? 
How? 

1009
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,700
Yeah. 
And like birth and stuff like 

1010
00:55:33,700 --> 00:55:36,700
that and she was sort of like 
you can talk about if you don't 

1011
00:55:36,700 --> 00:55:40,500
make some like bullshit, 
trivializing joke about it. 

1012
00:55:40,500 --> 00:55:43,600
That's for sure. 
And I was like, that's and that 

1013
00:55:43,900 --> 00:55:48,400
Force. 
Me to find some more interesting

1014
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,800
truths to it. 
That I think, I think are I'm 

1015
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,200
some super glad. 
I mean beyond the fact that it's

1016
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,000
like, it's I think decent to do 
with your partner to be like, 

1017
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,700
hey, I do this thing where I 
talk about our lives, so that's 

1018
00:56:00,700 --> 00:56:06,500
not entirely fair to you. 
So you get to weigh in on that. 

1019
00:56:06,500 --> 00:56:10,400
Yeah. 
I really, really get in a pissy 

1020
00:56:10,500 --> 00:56:14,300
mood about people who think that
their art doesn't touch them. 

1021
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:17,700
Life. 
Yeah, I mean maybe some people 

1022
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:22,600
it doesn't, you know, like 
whatever like if you're a super 

1023
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,100
method actor and you just do 
that and everyone else has to 

1024
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:26,600
deal with it or something like 
that. 

1025
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,100
Seems really hard and the same 
for comedians. 

1026
00:56:29,100 --> 00:56:32,900
Like, I think I was never very 
aggressive about this, but I 

1027
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:36,300
sort of used to feel like if I 
want to talk about it, like I 

1028
00:56:36,300 --> 00:56:38,600
should be able to talk about it 
because I'm not a mean person. 

1029
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:42,700
And I'm not going to like, dress
anyone down and now I really 

1030
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,300
don't feel that way. 
Yeah. 

1031
00:56:44,500 --> 00:56:48,200
I feel like, you know, if what 
I'm going to talk about on 

1032
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,900
stage. 
I have to understand that 

1033
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:56,400
whatever power I get, you know, 
like from, you know, people 

1034
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:00,300
laughing because I'm being funny
or whatever like that has to 

1035
00:57:00,300 --> 00:57:05,000
still, that can't be at the 
price of my partner's experience

1036
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:07,700
or self-respect or the size of 
the person that they are. 

1037
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:13,100
Yeah, you know, unlike but in 
terms of joking about birth, I 

1038
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,600
Like some of my new stand-up is 
actually about how annoying 

1039
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:22,500
those jokes are ya and those 
jokes are so weird, like the 

1040
00:57:22,500 --> 00:57:26,100
trivializing ones or the like 
malooley vagina got destroyed or

1041
00:57:26,107 --> 00:57:29,400
whatever. 
Like how some of my new stand-up

1042
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,800
is. 
I feel like I want to just talk 

1043
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,000
about why we even do that even 
do that. 

1044
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,400
And and it's been really fun to 
find what's actually underneath 

1045
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,200
the cliche. 
Yeah, you know, yeah, I mean 

1046
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,700
that's That's the goal is like 
trying to find whatever as 

1047
00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:50,100
you're saying, find, whatever is
underneath the cliche, because I

1048
00:57:50,107 --> 00:57:52,400
think that like, going back to 
like publicity. 

1049
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,600
That was, what was so fun about 
doing it with? 

1050
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:58,100
You was like, okay, are there. 
Here's what these shows are and 

1051
00:57:58,100 --> 00:58:01,400
then but in a weird way here is,
what's underneath that in these 

1052
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,800
two people. 
I think we should wrap this up. 

1053
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:06,100
Okay, I don't have an eye on the
clock. 

1054
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:07,700
I know we're supposed to be in 
conversation. 

1055
00:58:07,700 --> 00:58:10,800
But I, yeah, but to me, this 
conversation should be in 

1056
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,500
service of your movie. 
That's nice of you to say 

1057
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:18,000
because Was because you guys 
have worked incredibly hard on 

1058
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,600
it for a really, really long 
time. 

1059
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,400
Yeah, and it's a really 
beautiful thing. 

1060
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,200
Thanks. 
And I think I think the world is

1061
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:29,600
really going to love it. 
The way that they, that I think 

1062
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,700
people will love it the way you 
intend for it to be loved. 

1063
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:36,500
I hope so. 
Yeah, I mean and now that I 

1064
00:58:36,500 --> 00:58:39,600
really don't go on my social 
media very much like I post and 

1065
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,100
then I delete it from my phone. 
Yeah. 

1066
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,700
So, I don't know if I'll know 
and I don't like read reviews. 

1067
00:58:45,700 --> 00:58:48,200
Although, sometimes Dean sends 
them to me, went like, he really

1068
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,000
loves them. 
Yeah, because he's like, no, 

1069
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,000
please read this one. 
It's really yeah. 

1070
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,600
Yeah, share this with me is how 
he feels, and I think that's 

1071
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,900
right. 
But I, all I can say is it's 

1072
00:58:59,900 --> 00:59:06,000
exactly what we meant to do and 
that I do offer it up as an 

1073
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:12,500
example of Both myself and I 
hope that it can be a gift to 

1074
00:59:12,500 --> 00:59:16,700
everyone. 
And that I feel satisfied in it 

1075
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:19,600
all for free. 
Well, it's a you guys made 

1076
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:20,700
something really, really 
beautiful. 

1077
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:22,300
So cute darling. 
Yeah. 

1078
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:28,100
All right, so we'll do the 
publicity reboot for seaso 

1079
00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:30,600
coming up. 
What's C. 

1080
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:37,100
So she's always like one of 
those failed, like, you know, In

1081
00:59:37,100 --> 00:59:44,700
the aqua, be clean. 
Be, honestly, you were amazing 

1082
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:49,000
though. 
I'd this podcast like shot off. 

1083
00:59:51,700 --> 00:59:54,000
Like, honestly, I couldn't tell 
if we were like working or 

1084
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,600
having fun. 
But for me, like, working is 

1085
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,300
fun. 
Oh man. 

1086
01:00:01,300 --> 01:00:03,300
In this was idiot so much. 
I know. 

1087
01:00:03,300 --> 01:00:06,600
We'll get em, we'll get em back 
up and running somewhere along. 

1088
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,900
Way. 
My God, is that when I finally 

1089
01:00:09,900 --> 01:00:15,100
tamper with my face and get 
BOTOX never, I'm what if, what 

1090
01:00:15,100 --> 01:00:18,800
if it you show up on set? 
And my Liz is like, I'm like 

1091
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,700
it's a character thing and it's 
like literally like you have 

1092
01:00:22,300 --> 01:00:30,000
like tons of fillers. 
I really, I mean I'm like that 

1093
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,100
was the one hard thing about 
watching. 

1094
01:00:33,100 --> 01:00:35,300
I know we have to wrap this up. 
What watching Kroll Show was I 

1095
01:00:35,308 --> 01:00:38,100
was like, oh, I was younger. 
Or like I don't have it. 

1096
01:00:38,107 --> 01:00:40,800
I feel like I look fine. 
I love how I look in fact, but 

1097
01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:44,000
like I'm like, uh, it's 
different, you know, and like I 

1098
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:47,900
like it's like I I only want to 
use my creams, you know. 

1099
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:49,800
Yeah. 
I only want to just if I get a 

1100
01:00:49,808 --> 01:00:51,600
facial middle. 
Put that weird light on me or 

1101
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,500
something. 
Yeah, when he's my creams, I do.

1102
01:00:53,500 --> 01:00:55,500
I just can't get anything put in
my face. 

1103
01:00:55,500 --> 01:00:57,100
I'm going to let my life cycle 
play out. 

1104
01:00:57,100 --> 01:01:00,600
But sometimes you like, you're 
like squirt squirt oopsies. 

1105
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,200
I saw that. 
I was younger and it did hurt my

1106
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,500
feelings. 
That actually, once I was 

1107
01:01:05,500 --> 01:01:09,400
younger, Oh my God, but you know
I know right? 

1108
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,600
Come it is your skin looks 
great. 

1109
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,600
And is fucking zester. 
No naked. 

1110
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,300
I'm looking. 
Thank you that your skin. 

1111
01:01:16,300 --> 01:01:19,900
I'm like, it looks good. 
It's a been a dependent. 

1112
01:01:19,900 --> 01:01:22,600
Mine. 
I can't even tell you how fucked

1113
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,200
up. 
Truly, truly fucked up. 

1114
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,800
My skin has been ever really 
sensitive skin from what I 

1115
01:01:27,808 --> 01:01:29,100
remember? 
Crazy. 

1116
01:01:29,300 --> 01:01:33,500
It's been a. 
It's been like crazy. 

1117
01:01:33,700 --> 01:01:36,300
Oh, no, I'm sorry. 
Thank you. 

1118
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:41,300
But it's getting better, but 
it's been truly like people. 

1119
01:01:41,300 --> 01:01:43,600
I'm like talking about on my 
show a little bit, but like, 

1120
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,900
it's not, it's just insane. 
It's insane. 

1121
01:01:47,300 --> 01:01:51,500
If you feel any better, when I 
look at myself, now, I see a 

1122
01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:54,100
flash of just Eli Wallach. 
Like, I feel like, I look 

1123
01:01:54,100 --> 01:01:59,900
exactly like, Eli Wallach. 
I just, yeah, that's how, how 

1124
01:01:59,900 --> 01:02:02,800
did you settle there? 
Because I saw a picture of him 

1125
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,200
one time. 
And he was just like a really, 

1126
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:08,700
really old Jewish person and I 
was Like, is there a difference?

1127
01:02:08,700 --> 01:02:13,600
If it's raining me. 
Another answer is he's not 

1128
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:18,500
alive, right? 
If he's not know, if there's not

1129
01:02:18,500 --> 01:02:20,900
just please make a note to cut 
this out, if he's not dead, but 

1130
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:23,200
I think he did. 
Yeah, just cut it out. 

1131
01:02:23,300 --> 01:02:25,300
We met Eli Wallach happily. 
Listen. 

1132
01:02:25,300 --> 01:02:27,200
Oh my God, guys being like I was
great. 

1133
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:28,200
This is a great pot. 
Isn't that? 

1134
01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:33,000
And then it just at the end. 
I think he'd be thrilled to hear

1135
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,300
that you guys look like. 
I mean, I love him. 

1136
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,400
Yeah, I love him. 
I love him and Keeping the 

1137
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:39,500
Faith. 
He's wonderful. 

1138
01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:41,600
Love that movie. 
No one ever talks about it. 

1139
01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:46,600
I, it's weird that you're not in
that movie as the male lead, is 

1140
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:47,700
Ben Stiller, right? 
Yeah. 

1141
01:02:47,700 --> 01:02:48,800
And Ed Norton. 
Yeah. 

1142
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:50,700
I was too. 
That's the thing talking about 

1143
01:02:50,700 --> 01:02:53,400
how their businesses serving as 
the business has changed like 

1144
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,700
that movie just does not get me.
Absolutely not. 

1145
01:02:55,700 --> 01:02:58,300
But that movie rules and in fact
the way they shot the sex 

1146
01:02:58,300 --> 01:02:59,900
scenes. 
I always loved that. 

1147
01:02:59,900 --> 01:03:02,400
I haven't, I don't remember. 
I haven't I've That movie like 

1148
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,900
maybe once they're really, it's 
really like a lot of like hand 

1149
01:03:04,900 --> 01:03:08,300
up the thigh under the sheets 
like classy, but it is horny. 

1150
01:03:08,300 --> 01:03:13,200
And like, I remember being like,
that's what love making is that 

1151
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,200
Ben, Stiller is doing to Jenna 
Elfman. 

1152
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:19,600
Yeah. 
And of the thigh for them, I 

1153

People have I have to wait three

1167
01:03:57,500 --> 01:04:00,700
months for people to see it. 
Yeah, I guess like I've been 

1168
01:04:00,700 --> 01:04:03,500
waiting eight years or whatever.
So it's a little more. 

1169
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,600
Doesn't even feel like it's real
anymore.
