He's been on hold. Wow. He's been in the mix. Yeah, he's in the-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- I don't know if he's-- We won another way, it wasn't right for this one, but there's other stuff coming up. How many times were you not right? Millions of times. Yeah, me too. How about you, Fred? Millions. Yeah, so many times. Yeah, yeah. Things have just sort of evaporated. Whatever happened to that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gone. That's what-- What it is? Yeah. That's-- I get a call all the time. You want to do this, Indy? Yeah. That's what it's gone. You're attached. They lost the money. They always lose the money. I don't know where the money goes. Yeah. But yeah, the projects now, well, you guys do-- I have a couple of Hollywood, but my point is, is that-- You have a couple of Hollywood? I have a couple of Hollywood things that I'm doing. You know what I mean? But would you say the movie that we're in together is in more independent, not Hollywood? I think it was independent. Yes. It was an independent movie. Yeah. But it's stacked with Hollywood. Yeah. I mean, we're in it. I know. Right. So, is it Indy? Oh, they got Indy-- Yeah. If you watch it, he's part of the Hollywood crew. Yeah. That's what he's trying to get. That's what Hollywood looks like. That's the real-- Does it look like that? That's what it is. So, I've seen it, Daddy. You've seen it? Yeah. Yeah. I saw Hollywood, Daddy. I'm sorry. That was weird. The movie is called "Nimrod." "Nimrod." Should we go on-- should we end? Yeah. Should we get to-- it's not called "Nimrod?" Yes, it is. You act confused, like I said it wrong. No. Okay. The movie that we're in is called "Nimrod." Nimrods. Yeah. I'm confirming. Yeah. You were so fucking creepy and not. And fuck. Thank you. Thank you. I have to say my favorite thing about Fred in this movie. Yeah. Your performance. Thank you. But I also love that you're wearing like four sweaters. I know. You're wearing like a sweater on a sweater on a sweater on a sweater. Yes. Your choice. And then you have to-- You know, it was the costume designer. Uh-huh. It was like, I have this idea for this character. Yeah. Okay. Do you think Fred would be up for it? I remember being there for this conversation. And I was like, I think he would. You should ask him. And so she asked you and-- Yeah, I always just say, oh, whatever you guys wanted to do. Yeah. But you're so bulky. Yeah. Like in the way you move, like you can't even put your arms all the way down. It's very funny. No. And I have a question for you. What is it? The line where you're like, have you ever seen a roadie? Yes. Did you make that up? I did. Why? Because it's really funny. Oh, my God. You guys, thank you. So that means so much coming from you guys. It's a good part for you. But I felt bad. Yeah. So there's this scene at the beginning where-- Well, let's explain it in general. Let's say what the movie is. Do you want to start? Sure. It's Nimrods. It's a Green Day comedy. It's a-- The band, the Green Day. The Green Day. Produced by Green Day. Produced by the Green Day, the band. That's right. Yeah, yeah. And it's about three teenagers in a punk rock band. We're not those. We're not those. We're not us. They cast you guys as a teenager. Well, I pushed hard. That was amazing. And they believe that they are opening for Green Day on New Year's Eve if they can just get from Kansas City to Los Angeles. Yep. And we are-- I play the mom of the kid. Yep. And at the beginning of the movie, he's just trying to get into a Green Day concert. And they ask me, "Have you ever snuck into a concert?" And I say, "Yeah." And they say, "How? Did you blow a roadie?" And I say, "Blow a roadie. Have you seen a roadie?" Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's your line. That was my line. Really good. Yeah, thank you. But when we were filming, like, you know, Green Day was there. And like, their roadies were there. Wow. And I felt like they were all like, "Hey." I didn't know that. I feel like they would smile along. You think they would? Yeah. I don't think they have that kind of ego. Okay. Yeah. You're in the music world. Yeah. Or we all are, I think, to an extent. Yeah. I would love to. I just saw all of you within our day. You just got to-- You just saw it. Yeah, me. You showed me. Yeah. No, I mean, I play the music a little bit. But you are more in institutional bands, if I may say. Like bands with-- you know what I mean? Like, if I could Google, the members are on. Sure. That's real to me. That's all real. No. That's like-- Because Jenna, I even feel like your connection to Green Day is like, it's pretty real. My connection to Green Day? Yeah. Yeah. How real is it? I have all three other phone numbers in my life. What? What? What? I mean, that's good, right? That's kind of real. Yeah. It's one of my proudest-- it's one of my proudest flexes. How so is it through the movie that you got-- I remember you knew them years ago. Yeah. So years ago, Billy Joe Armstrong starred in a movie that my husband wrote and directed, Lee Kirk. Lee Kirk also wrote and directed this movie. and through that process, they became friends. And then a few years ago, he called Lee and he said, "I have this idea, I wanna do a Green Day movie, but I don't want it to be a biopic. I kinda have this idea of like a young punk band traveling across the country to get to a Green Day concert on New Year's Eve. What do you think?" And my husband was like, "Oh yeah, I love it. I think that's a great idea." And so he interviewed everybody in the band and we just went to concerts and we hung out with them all the time and he got all their stories. He wanted all their stories pre-dukey. So everything about traveling around in a band before they were like Green Day. And he weaved all of that, all those little Easter eggs into the story of this movie. But in that process of all these years of knowing Billy Joe and going to all the concert, hang out with the band, I slowly got all their numbers. It would, I got Billy from a band. - You got Billy Joe first. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - The crazy thing was that when he was starring in that movie, that first movie called "Orinary World," he was like, he's really serious. He's like a serious artist and he came over to our house. I was pregnant with my daughter and it was the craziest thing. - Why do you keep looking at Luke? - I don't, 'cause he asked me the question. - Oh, that's a very. - Yeah, we're having a conversation. - He shouldn't be. - Should I. - Your tone, stop it, all right? 'Cause this right here is pure magic. - No, I know it. - What you have, what you have in front of you is pure magic and don't get scared with your low brow comedy. - Oh boy. - Okay, these are professional. - Oh, I'm listening. - Yeah, yeah, look at their own gibbies. - I'm looking. - Right, it'll take you days. - I'm sorry. - It's fine, I'll direct the rest of it. - It's directed to me because I don't like it. - And I'm looking at you in the meantime. (laughing) - Sort of. - Yeah. - So they're all. - You say when we switch, we'll say switch. - We'll switch it and then we'll switch the pack. - Okay, I'm gonna go to my right. - Yeah. - Okay, yeah, so I open the door and there's just like Billy John Armstrong is just standing there and he's there to rehearse for the movie. - Wow. - And I ran lines with him and we became friends. - Very nice guy. I've known him a long time too. - Yeah. - Yeah, he used to send coffee here. - He used to send, oh, the punk bunny. - Yeah, the punk bunny. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, same. - You don't remember that? - You're ungrateful piece of shit. - You're acting like him right now. - Why are you sorry? - Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - I'm angry, I'm sorry. - I knew that was ungrateful. - Yeah, Fred, I apologize. - I got sent coffee but it didn't have that name. It was something else. - Was it, well, it had it, it changed names. - Oh, is that what it is? - It changed names. - It was Oakland. - That's the one. - Something, and then it changed a punk bunny. - I see, okay, okay. - Yeah. - You know, I was more Oakland, I think, the punk punnies. - I think so. - Yeah, yeah. - You were pre-the-name change. - I think so, yeah. So when I got, yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a lie on my part. - Okay. - Yeah, I apologize. (laughing) - I'm honest, you're me. - Yeah, I'm always honest with you. - You are. - Yeah, so I don't know how I got in, but thank you. But it was a fun experience. I got to meet the kids, you know, Ryan Mason. - Kyler. - Kyler. - Did you meet, did you meet McKenna? I don't think you were there at the same time. I think she walked by me, but I never met her. And then, yeah, I think Ryan Faust is a gem. - He is wonderful. And he's so good in the movie. - Perfect, I met him on the movie, I don't know if you know this. I met him on the movie, he goes, you know, he was interested in doing stand up. So I set up some dates for him and he went up. - Yeah. - Where did you set up the dates? - At the comedy store. - Can you believe that? - In LA. - Yes. - That's really nice of you. - And he did it like five times and he came over to the store. - And did you go? - Of course, it was my show. - This is so nice. - What do you mean? - You're right. - Yeah. - So I. - Yeah. - Very good. Yeah. (laughing) - That's so cool. - Yeah. Are you being sincere? - I can't. - Because inside, in the fucking, my house, you said, I just came by to stop by. I'm not actually going along. Right? And I was like, are you being real? And you're like, yeah, I'm being real. And I don't know you that well. So it's like, I'm like, I think he's fucking leaving. (laughing) - That's enough. - This is. - Yeah, yeah. - He has to do it. - Yeah, yeah. - That's my favorite thing about Fred. - What, he just lies? - No. (laughing) - No, he's deadpan since a few months. I've known Fred a very long time. This is the second movie that Fred and I have been in together. We met on a movie called The Promotion that we shot in Chicago. It was a Steve Conrad movie. So Steve Conrad, DTF St. Louis. - Oh, amazing. - This was his directorial debut. - Yeah. - Or in it. - Yeah. - That was great. Do you remember that? - Of course. - 2000. - 2000 and a long time ago. - Is that walking Felix? - 2008 or seven? - No, that's John C. Riley and Sean William Scott. - Oh, Sean, I don't know what it's called for that. - Yeah. - Molly Shannon. - No, that's Lily Taylor. - But is that Molly Shannon to the left? - No, that's me. - That's her. - That's myself. (laughing) - Yeah. - What? - Are you in the movie? (laughing) - You know what? - Yeah. - I don't think you're in the movie, Fred. - I don't think you're in the movie. - I'm a shot. - That picture. - The whole thing is. - It is. We never posed for a poster. - No. - I don't know where they got that, but. - What? - It's terrifically smart and. - Could I be on Fred's side on this? It does not look like you. - No. - Yeah. - Well. - Looks more like Molly Shannon. - I'm in it. (laughing) - You're there. - I believe you. - Film scene. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. That's where we met. - Yeah. - And we became very, very good friends. - Yes, we did. - And you know what? Do you want me to tell you? - Well, when you say good friends, I have to know. - I'll tell you how good of a friend. - That's what I was going to ask. - Yeah, I'll tell you. So, we had finished filming it, right? - Yes. - And it was like that spring after we finished filming this movie. I was in New York, and I was doing press for NBC for a new season of the office. And I was at this club called Budacon. - Legendary. - Oh, thank you so much. Thank you so much. - Yeah. - SNL, come on. Portland. Yeah, let's do it. - Yeah. - I shouldn't choose my head. Geno Fisher and Fred Armors and. - I've got 30 minutes in. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Wow. - Okay, okay. - Yes, you may. - So, I was at this club called Budacon, and it was a, it was an event, it was a press event. It was a work event, right? It's a party, but put it in quotes, because you know how those are. They're not really parties. You're there.

And so, to get to the bathrooms, you had to go down this really long set of marble stares, and someone had spilled a drink on the steps, and I fell on the stairs, and I fractured my back and four places. I had to leave in an ambulance, and I was taken to the hospital, and I was in New York City, and I'm not from New York City, but I had become friends with Fred on this movie, and I had his number, and I texted him, and I said, "I'm on my way to the hospital." And Angela was with me, and Angela Kinsey was with me, she wrote in the ambulance with me, and Fred came to the hospital and sat with me. I have very hazy memories of this, because I think I was full of a lot of morphine. And then-- - You stayed the whole time? - You were there a while. - A while? A long while, yeah. - Yeah. - Look at what a good man you are. - So nice. But then, I couldn't leave New York. I had to stay there, because I couldn't fly back home for a couple of weeks until I had healed, and Fred would come over, and he would take me for very, very, very slow walks in Central Park. - Yeah. - Because they want to meet a walk every day. - So, like, little by little, just like these little baby stuff, pacing around. - Wow. - What made Fred be the first text that you're sending after fracturing your back? you just really look at them. - Well, look at them. - Look at me. - Look at me. - I'm coming. - Yeah. - Take a good look at me. - Yeah, don't you wanna call them now? (laughing) - What's the word, "hunky"? - Yeah, "hunky"? - Yeah, "hunky". - You don't wanna call you right and out. - Yeah. - No, we were just, we were friends for so long, and I think by then, these are SNL people who are around. I don't know if you knew any of the other SNL people. - I did, because we like, - Who names? - My favorite part of being on the office and being part of NBC, and having to go to these things, was that SNL always had to go as well. And so, in our friendship, we had closed down SNL parties, like the party after the party after the party. And so, yeah, he was just my, you were like my closest, one of my closest New York buddies at this time. - We really hung out. - Yeah. If Bobby broke his back, like, let's say tomorrow, he's like, "Tex, you," and he's like, "Oh, we don't have that," right? You know, we don't have that kind of thing. - Well, I don't know. - Yeah, but if you texted me, - How could I say no? - Yeah, I think it would do it. - He would be there for you. - Yeah, yeah. - But I don't know if I would have. - You don't think you would have. - Yeah, yeah. I think I would just grind it out on my own. (laughing) - You would just lay on the stairs. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - And I was slithering my way to the hotel elevator, had the car in my mouth, like a pirate. - Yep. - Yep. - Oh, what if I have an accent? - Why do pilots say, what do pilots say? - What do pilots say? - I don't know, yeah. - Pirates or pirate? - Pirates. - Pirates. - Arr. - You're welcome. - Yeah, you're welcome, thank you. Anyway, I wouldn't have ever called. - Yeah. - But I gotta add that these stairs, these are the real star of this story. Like, they were so dangerous looking, they were like black and it's one of those things like you just look at it and you're like, that is a bad fall. - Wow. - Waiting to happen. - This is what I, were you there at that party? - Oh yeah. - That's what I thought. - Oh yeah. - We had been hanging out. - Yep, what kind of beverage was that, you know? - Yeah, you spilled that drink. - I do know. Well, I don't know what beverage was on the stairs, but I had just gotten a beverage. And I'm not much of a drinker, so I had gotten like a very fruity, pineappley kind of thing. - I can imagine orange. - Oh no. - And orangey thing. - And as I went down, I had hardly had any of it. - Yeah. - And I threw it like in my own faith. (laughing) So I'm covered and I wreak of booze. So when I get to the hospital, they're like, "Mam, how much do you drink tonight?" And I'm like, I've had nothing. I had one sip and then I poured it all over myself and then I couldn't shower for a long time. I couldn't like raise my arms. And so it just like, it just went putrid. It's stunk. Eventually, Angela like tried to like wash my hair for me. - She's a good friend to you. - She's a good friend, but I had to like just sleep only to, I remember it so clearly. I could only sleep to the left 'cause if I like tried to turn to the right, it was like so rancid. - Oh my god. - It was disgusting. It was probably hurt. - My back hurt a lot. - Yeah, I'm sorry. - I think I have a picture of us in Central Park, but I think you remember your arm also being hurt. - You're right, Fred. I also had a sling on my arm because I also like severely bruised my elbow bone in the fall. - Oh my god. - And prior to that, I had been playing guitar and I had to give up guitar after the fall. - And you never played again? - No. - Oh, because I couldn't-- - Pump it down. - Yeah. - I know how you say it, but yeah, yeah. - 'Cause my bones-- - 'Cause your bones, and you'll probably have guitars on the home because of Lee, probably. - We have guitars. - Yeah, I can tell. - And they just mock me. They just mock me. - They have little mouths and they say-- - If only-- - Yeah. - If only you never fought. (laughing) - You do a little Disney character. - You could play me. - How I'd do one too? - Yeah. - Yeah, how are you? - Good, yeah. I'm a glow. - Oh. - Like a little bit ag. - I'm sleepy. - I sleep out. - I have a funny laugh. Do you want to hear it? - Wait, don't be foil. - Do you want to hear my funny laugh? - What is it? - I love it. - Thank you, man. - What's your name? - I'm David. (laughing) - Oh, no. - Oh, no. - Okay. - Well, you keep on it. - You know where? - Just like a bass guy. - Who is this? - This is a mysterious person that came out of the highway. - Oh, wow. (laughing) - I'm David. (laughing) - He's David. (laughing) - That was really good, Fred. - Yeah, yeah. - Took improv, huh? (laughing) - Was that improv? - I don't know, we scripted it. - Yeah, we scripted it. - I think we scripted it. - Yeah, yeah. - We plan that way in and stuff. - You guys think that three camera sitcoms are dead? - I wrote an article for The New York Times about three camera sitcoms. - Mm. - And my point, no, I have, I guess. (laughing) - Someone who's doing outside. - You did good. - Arverson work. - I was like so good. - I have. - Yeah. - You could have done that. - I feel like every time people ever and decides that something is dead, then all of a sudden there's some successful things somewhere, and then it's fine. - Things are unsure, but I think everything will be fine. Maybe that's what I'm going by right now. - With the three camera sitcoms? - With in general. - Okay. - You know what I mean, the way things are going. - Yeah. - You know what I mean? Less worrying about the outcome, and more worrying about what's going on now. - That's a good way to live. (laughing) - What? - Well, you know, like it? - No, I don't know. It just felt like you set up your own question to be answered by yourself, but it was good. It was good. I agree with that. - Dude, you're a fucking ass. - I just think that's funny. I just thought that was funny. - Yeah. - So this is the highlight. - A movie about Green Day. Have you, today's kind of a Green Day. Have you seen the stock market? - That was good. - That was good. - He's a young comic, he's starting off. - I didn't like that at all. - Well, a lot of people think I've got applause break. - Can I say this? - So what did you mean because money is green? - The stock market's really up today. Lots of green. - So. - If it's bad, red. - You just need like a little pausing between it. So let's see this. - Yeah! - That's kind of like, yeah, yeah. - You have to make it seem like (laughing) you're just thinking of it. - Right, right. - Yeah, right. - It's been a movie about Green Day.

That's not a joke, but yeah. - Yeah. - You've never serious regular on a sitcom, you know? - No. - But you've guessed start on a lot. - Not like a three-camera thing. - Wow. - Stuff like, but the, your show was like that. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Single-john stuff like that. - Anyway, this is how it works, okay? So you get the camera on Jen. A close. Can I call you Jen? (laughing) And you have a little monologue in front of a crowd. The family. - Yeah. - So it's not like, you know, it's not like, you have a one-shot and I have a one-shot. You have a one-shot and it's like, - I love how you are setting it up. Yeah, ready how you all right no. Well, I'm sending it up the way it is painting a picture of What it is a reality is what I'm doing, okay, right? I'm not confusing it. I'm mudding up the waters. Yeah, all right I'm being real about it, okay, right single on you Group shot on us. Yeah, maybe punch in Maybe maybe punch in but they hadn't at this point. Okay, it's a wide shot and She gets mad why? Okay? I'm gonna set it up a little differently The different set up different. I do whatever I want to okay, so it's a scene My memory is that it's Christmas. It is we're all in Christmas One Z's matching Christmas pajamas. It's the whole cast Sitting on the floor of the living room set and I'm standing in front of the Christmas tree and I'm facing them This is my memory and I have this kind of emotional speech. I have to give it supposed to be but I also have to be funny in it But it also has to be a motion and you were all that Thank you to say the least thank you so much, okay, and you hit out of the ball. You know I'm getting to the ballpark on my bed. So you know, you do not the ball you know coverage you do coverage So when the camera was on me you don't see the camera doesn't see them. It just sees me That they have lines and they have to say their lines to me throughout my speech. Yeah point taken and on the first take I'm like doing my work and I'm Scanning the room and I see everybody and everyone's eyes are on me and they're giving me their lines And I get to Bobby and he's looking down And I'm like oh, I don't know what that's about Okay, whatever so we do another take Same thing I get to Bobby. He's looking down. I see he has his phone and I sweat my first thought is oh my god. I hope everything's okay. He must have gotten an important text message From someone I Hope it's all right because who would get their phone out in the middle of a take But for an emergency That's not real, right? Yeah, and It's not a lie. I was I was like oh, no, there must be a reason that's still in your head There's an emergency a family development. I mean, that's a little bit of an embellishment But I did think like oh an important something I already know something happened All right, but then I'm not gonna pick you back up, but then I realized he is like I thought he was scrolling Instagram He's watching videos on his phone apparently. He was playing candy crush or some other game candy crush candy crush Yeah, and so like really high up on my no, fuck you friends and I was getting very high I know at a level. I remember going I got to finish this level because I've OCD - so I have mental disorder It's a itch, you know, so I'm like I got to get the 900 whatever the level was Okay, and I got there and and thank you for much. Thank you very much But you have to pick another time to do it. No, I had to do that and I tell you why it didn't interfere. Oh my god Oh my god. This is hilarious. That's my phone interrupting this podcast. That's my phone ringing in the middle of the story That's insane. That is awful. That's ironic. Yeah. Yeah. It's ironic. It's called irony Yeah, so Fred you're your loss. So what I was doing is there's ten eyes she could look at Then I would say you literally said look at all of it to not be in the scene. No, I had to be in the scene I'm not in a level where I know I'm not doing the fucking cross-cross covers You could excuse yourself. I've diarrhea make out an excuse like that. Like do you need me for this? Yeah, but now I look like a Hollywood Whispering into a mind. You just got to know but now I look like a fucking you know douchebag But look what happened. Yeah, it was the candy girl. You're impressing me. I know Anna That you're playing a game, but so I I bit his head off. I did yeah My head off. I said Bobby what the actual fuck dude?

No, I feel bad that you ever have any shame about it. I have absolutely no shit It's the funny thing to even talk about that's why I brought it up. Yeah, you know, I mean But he hasn't done that ever since on cross-coverage. Well, I think that's I will never do it again. Well thank goodness. It was me then That is it could have been someone else who would have like really Christian bail would have just punched Yeah, I need you would have been out of my Marlon Brando no You know remember and I'm like yeah, cuz no, I'm in that scene, but I'm like that man on camera Yeah, my character but but anyway, yeah, I will never do that again and I learned a very valuable lesson. I felt bad about it But we're we're over it You and I have way past it. We're way past. Yeah, it's like, you know At the time I didn't feel bad I feel bad now Wait, what? Jack as your lawyer here No, no, no, no, no, no, I fired Joe as a lawyer in the moment that you were doing it I didn't realize on a completely honest with you. Yeah, there's not a shame. No, I was like what's this white lady? I mean, that's my mind she's damn yeah, yeah, yeah, and I got I got race in there You know something like that. Yeah, and I didn't like it, but I'd love you now That felt bad about the old thing and where is that game now we can't this can't you I stop playing the game I in fact, I've missed or miss and if I may call you that and also I stop playing in and I've stopped playing video games in general Because I had an addiction problem. Yeah, and I could also quit pornography as well So I've yeah, I quit don't even have the clap for that. Was that where any of the we're any of the games pornographic was ever like Yeah, they didn't cross over yet. I don't know how to get those games. It's just a Xbox or hard to get But that's the that's the invention if they make that they're gonna score Anyway, the movie comes out August 14. I'm all over the place. When is this coming out? Don't say it's live What was my math that I was like I don't know Molly Shannon. That wasn't it. We all believed you. Yeah Because you had like an authoritarian I can't speak today. I was so sure looking at that picture Yeah, never in that movie. No, she wasn't Mm-hmm. I was gonna say the movie comes out on August 14th and theaters. You should see it in theaters It's really good in theaters. You get all the music and everything Well, there's a special screening on August 11th in certain cities. You can go. Are you gonna go to any of those sneak peek? I might turn up it. Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something about the movie what I really enjoyed. What is it? I talked about it a little bit on your podcast Yeah, but it was the kind of like the realness feel of teenage life and the angst and The dirty I don't I don't like it when they portray a teenager's room and make it spotless like it's Ikea You know showroom. I wanted to look lived in yeah, and the movie looked lived in like when you came out I believe that you were the mom. I've never seen you in a role like that before. Thank you. Yeah, I'm like Immediately I was hook. I go. Oh, she's killing it and then you're a comedy and it was so dark and fun and it was a zany part It's on a zany part. I have I think that The sets because we started all a location is added to that. Yes, that's what I was saying. Yeah, there's just everything It's not an exciting thing that I added, but I'm just saying To your point, we really did go to Oklahoma and it was really like the motel was real. I think that adds I think it adds I think it adds Locations and stuff like that, but it just felt good and that you know Just working with the kids and their families and they were we had to have hamburgers and go out Yeah, well, you're really good in the movie. You're really really good in the movie I stopped watching the movie when I my big head at North Korean face showed up You told me that you stopped, but you shouldn't you should watch your scenes. I saw one line. I was like that's okay They're all good. Yeah, they're pretty good. I think your head is little A little Korean. I think it's a little tiny. Oh, you think it's a tiny little. I think it's a little marble I don't really appreciate that. You know, I always thought that's how I see you. Yeah, maybe it's the stereo type of their thing Oh Koreans have big head. Do you I mean is that a stereotype? Oh, no, look at the Mexican Is it I think I mean I have a head. Yeah, yeah, Google if that's a stereotype, but I've never heard that They say a lot of Koreans have big head. There's like being in the community. They're like what it's a thing in the community Yeah, there's certain things that we talk about ourselves that you're not privy to like we don't talk about like that That's hacky stuff like math or you know, I mean we can't drive any of those kind of stereotypes But there's specific stereotypes like we're sneaky. So we are sneaky. That's a stereotype. Well, we think we are look at ninjas Oh, yeah I just put that together Ninjas are sneaky. I mean need to be sneaky if you're a ninja. It's a part of the job like half of it Yeah, they do seem sneaky though. Ninja. Yeah, I find them sneaky. Yeah. Yeah, I said yeah me too and they're good at climbing things I believe right in a sneaky way quite way very quiet. Yeah, they also is a stereotype that like at Japanese businessmen are quiet And then when they have to talk it's real Know the deal go down now. Yeah, or whenever I might be I said 499,000 And then that's it. That's the last thing and you have to negotiate. How is really good? (laughing) - Thank you. - That was very enjoyable. - Is this my Kim Jong Un impression? - Is that your Kim Jong Un? - Yeah. - That's the one. - That's pretty Japanese though. - You did Japanese just now? - Yeah, he's Korean, I think. I don't know. I don't wanna speak on your thing, but. (laughing) - I have a question for you. - Go ahead. - Go ahead. - I have a question for you. - What's the plan with Mad TV? Like, there should be more celebration around it. There should be some, yes, there should. - You guys were, you know, let me tell you something. - No, no. (laughing) - I saw a picture, I saw a picture that I think four cast members did an appearance somewhere. Maybe it was a comic con. - It was a comic con. - And I'm like, where's the big one, where there could be like a real show of appreciation for that show? - I think that. - Where does it even, like, where does it live now? - Yeah, I remember Chasey Morgan once came up to me and he got, "Yo, Bob, you're so, so." It's not classy, Mad TV's, yeah, that we do low brow punches down and stuff like that. And I always felt like you guys never really liked us. SNL people. - That is in your head. - And now that I know that it's just in my head, I appreciate it. - Come on. - All right. - I think, I think-- - I think SNL is like literally family with the Myers. - You're right, there is a family connection there. - I mean, the room is, there's too few people doing it that anyone would have a problem. - I think you're right. - Yeah, come on. - Yeah, we would just talk about you guys in a jealous way. - I've never said that out loud. Have I ever said that out loud before? - Oh, no. - Yeah, I've never said that out loud before. - Whichever way that is, you guys should do something and celebrate it and, you know. - I think it's hard to get everyone together now. - You can get the cast-- - You can be in so many different ways. - People would be psyched. (laughing) - He took me a year to get Jordan Peel on this, just on this podcast. So it's like, I think it'll be hard. - I mean, I think it'll be worth it. - It would be worth it. - For you to get an office reunion, like a dinner set of, is that hard? To get the most of the, I think that's hard. - My headphone just went out. - Oh, you have a, I'll help her. - That's her way of saying she doesn't want to discuss it. (laughing) - Wait, it's coming back. - It's coming back. - Wait, no, now it's totally gone. And now it's like, it's going in and out. - Yeah. - You guys still have those? - Oh, wait. - Dinner's? - It's fine. It's back. I won't move. We have a text thread called Office Peeps and we text on it a lot. And Greg Daniels had a brunch at his house a few years ago and most of us were there. - All right. - But some people are in New York and then that gets difficult. So we have not ever had like a full everybody cast reunion since the show stopped. - Oh, then yeah, it's hard to get everyone. - It is. It's hard to get everybody in the same place. - Could you do it? Could you get your reunion going or no? - Yeah, we have dinners and stuff. But I mean more like, (laughing) everybody is doing it. - But I mean more like, you should set up a show somewhere. We're gonna do this appearance. There's gonna be whatever. Eight or 10 of us. Come out. - Yeah, come out and like. - We have to go Stephanie Weir called me and she's like, I'm doing a show in the ice house and there's a bunch of mad people on it. I almost did it, but my schedule is, but maybe I will do one. I mean like, some sort of Q and A or something made me show clips. - Yeah. - Maybe. - And here's the other part of it. You make a little money doing it. - Whoa. Now you're talking my language. - Some tickets, make them happy, make you happy. - Yeah. - Now we see where this is going though. You're worried about that. - Oh, I love money. (laughing) - You do it. - You're kidding? - Yeah. - Am I love it? - It's the best. - Itchy. (laughing) - Order stuff. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I got one of those, one of those, one of those. - Yeah, I do that. - I do that with postmates. - Yeah. - But I just throw it into the air. - I have heard that you do that with postmates. - What? - That you order. Don't you order from different places? - I'll do a door dash of postmates and a fucking Uber rides at the same time. - Oh wow. - Do it. - Let's see who comes faster from the same restaurant. (laughing) - Just a sea. - Jersey Michaels go. It's great. You go and get on a plane, you're like put me up front. Put me in first class, please. - Do you do that? Oh, you do that beforehand. - You just say. - No, and I just show up and I'm putting you there. - Yeah. - Flash them cash. - If a movie filled flew out coach, would you be mad? - If what? - A movie flew you out coach. - I wouldn't consider it a movie. (laughing) - I'd be like, I'd be like, that's a project. - That's a project. (laughing) - Short film, that's a short film. - Yeah. - I thought you didn't know what coach was for a second. - Oh no. - When I was a kid I did. - Uh oh, yeah. - Yeah. (laughing) - Like old. - They still have it. - Like up to like 10 or 11. (laughing) - You know, those days, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, little coloring books and stuff. - Yeah, yeah. - But yeah, I have fun memories of it. - Yeah. (laughing) - Sometimes I go, I'll ask, Mike. - Can I afford it? - No, you're fine. - Yeah. - I just want to keep asking. So, you know, I don't want to be wasting money. But as long as my, you know, money people said, "You're fine." - For first class. - What? - You're talking about first class. - Yeah, first class. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's what I meant, sorry, my bad. - I was just curious. - I once asked Susie Orman. I know we were just goofing around a little bit. But I once asked her, I was like, it's a lot of money first class. What is your opinion on that? - What is she saying? That you make your living with your body and your voice. And you need that room to rest and not get sick. And that's all I needed to hear. (laughing) - This is a private room. - That's all I needed to hear, dude. - It was great. It was just like, no more, no. - Allow yourself that room. You make, that's how you make your living. - Yeah. - Your body is your instrument. - Yeah. - So you need to transport your instrument with the greatest of care. - Yeah, better put. - That's a better, even better. - Now I'm vintage, like a violin. - Yes. - A violinist. - Mm-hmm. - Yeah, that's what it is. - How would they transport their instrument? - In the best violinist case out there in the market. - Yes. - That's right. Right? So that's what we're doing. - Yes. - That's very interesting. - That first class seat is our case. - Yeah. But I have been treated poorly where it's like, you go to set and they don't have a trailer for you. (laughing) - Did that happen on Nimrod's? (laughing) - I think Nimrod's is more of an open. Yeah, no, I had a room. - Yeah. - A nice room. - Did you? - Yeah. - I had one in your size. - Well. - I always compare. - When I was on. - I always go by in the name. - I just got a tiny sliver of a honey wagon. - That was pretty good. - Yeah. - Yeah. - That's what I had. - Yeah. - I just sliver of a honey wagon. - Sliver of a honey wagon. - 'Cause it was an independent movie. - You don't need more than that. - I mean, it's nice, I think, when you have your own bathroom. - Mm-hmm. - Oh yeah. - And we didn't have bathrooms. - We didn't have toilets. - I do it before I leave LA, like bathroom stuff. (laughing) - I'll have things before. - Well, I mean, we talked about what our opening move is pooling. (laughing) - What? - What? - What is it? - That was a private. (laughing) - That was very private. - That was private. - And now, look, and now it's on camera. - Yeah, yeah. - Now look at that. - Yeah. - This is humiliating. (laughing) Sorry, friend. - You had night shoots on Nimrods, though. You guys both did. - That's right. - We're at your call times. You had to be at work at like 10 p.m. - Or 11 p.m. - Yeah, yeah, I like that. - And then you worked all the way till dawn. - But my feeling is. - Do you like that? - My feeling is, it's Lee. So I'm like, "Ah, he's great." - Oh, that's amazing. Like, he does his best to take care of everybody. That's all fine. That's great. - He is a good, he's a good director that way. - He's great supportive, pleasant, not stressed. - So you didn't like it. - And it's green day. So it's just like, we're good. - Okay. - Yeah. I was just grateful to be there. I'll tell you why. - Why? (laughing) - You didn't think this through? - Yeah. - I did think it through. I have everything thought through. Because I never know when it's gonna be my last. - Ooh. - I think you're winking. - Yeah, I never know. Because it's changing so rapidly. It's sometimes I think to myself, "Oh, this could be the last one." So just be grateful that you're here. They experience all of it. - Yeah. - I think a lot of people feel that way. They go through like, gotta keep it going. - Yeah. - Right, kind of. - Yeah. - Yeah, it's changed so much. Like, look at kids like this and I just feel bad. - Well, because they don't know the excitement. They'll never know the excitement. - I might, not never. (laughing) - And what are you going for to be a stand-up comedian or an actor? - Stand-up comedian. But it feels like with every stand-up comic, that you're supposed to act, it seems like. - So I take acting. - No, you don't have to. - Oh, that's good to take acting classes, but you don't have to act. - That's what you do. - No, I think there are many stand-up comedians who love just doing that. I think Todd Barry is one of those. He's expressed how he's not interested. He'd have stand-up. - I like both, but I definitely wanna do a stand-up. Headlining, touring stand-up will be cool. - Oh, you'll do it. You'll do it. - Thank you. - Yeah. - If you say so. - Yeah, but what I was saying though, before is, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry guys. What I meant by that is, like a proper pilot season. - Yeah. - You know, where we, like you have three in one day and you're running around, right? And then you get these calls, like they're testing you, you get excited, right? And then you get it. You're in some room, city, like I would say, We were shooting one in Chicago, and just staying in these cool places. I was young, you know, with a bunch of young people. You never knew. You could have been like a life changer. These kind of feeling. - And now it's gone and over. - No, what I'm saying is that it just doesn't happen as frequently as when we came up. - No, I get it. - Yeah, and there is a feeling of like, ah, they got, you know, it's different. - There's other stuff though, you know, you go to, now instead of that, now it's like, oh, you go to the valley, you record a podcast, get lunch. - Are you saying my podcast? - It's a similar thing. - It's kind of almost better. - No, no, but at your point, it's like a version of getting to the next letter. - Also, this feels like, it is. - It is not. - It is. - I'm like, "Rosh!" - No. - This is the studio. - This is not a studio. - I remember going on the Warner Brothers lot, auditioning for Pilots. - Yeah. - That was a crazy feeling. - Yeah. - I know, weren't you like Starstruck, even by the entrance? - The entrance. - Oh, yeah. - I was like, "Whoa, I'm in LA." - Yeah. - Yeah. - I picture, like, me as a little kid would be like, "Whoa!" - Yeah. - Going through the stage. - Or those things on the crazy amount. - We're doing the table read at the president's office. - And you're like, "Whoa!" - Is that in a right environment? - Right. - And then you're going up and you're like, you're in this like, damp, off-office wooden. - Damn. - You've muted all these trophies and awards on the wall. Or hearing people's names like Ben Stiller's going to be there. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - What? I thought table reads were the audience were high hitters. And they're like, "Don't fuck this up." Like, "Can you do this table read for this movie?" You didn't get the part, but it's just, it's here, not loud. And then you show up, and then there's these hard hitters in the audience. And you don't even have that. - What? - You're hard hitter. - You're a hard hitter, dude. - Got a really hard hitter. - I did a table read for Steve Martin. - Whoa. - Whoa. - He had written a musical. And they just wanted to hear it out loud. And I can't remember the other people that did it. But it was at, and I can't sing. So it was very clear to me that this was a reading only. It would go nowhere. And it was a musical. - It was a musical. - And there's like lyrics on them. - They had already recorded the songs. So they would play the songs, but we read the book. And I remember that my agent was like, there's something you need to know about Steve Martin. He is very punctual. We will be starting on time. So you need to be there 15 minutes early. - Oh, no. - And all the way. - Nope. Everybody was on time. He was exactly on time, and we started exactly on time. And I thought it was kind of badass. - Wow. - I was like, that's kind of rad. And then a few years later, I actually did end up. I was in his play Meteor Shower. And he was there. It was the first production of it. It was in San Diego. And he was there. He was kind of workshopping it in the sense that like the first time a play is performed, the writer is there and does rewrites along the way. And I never forgot it. And he invited the cast, oh yeah, that's me and Meteor Shower. - Wow. - And he invited the cast out for dinner one night. And I was like, oh my gosh, I have to be on, I have to be 15 minutes early to this dinner because Steve Martin is punctual. And so I showed up 15 minutes early and he was already there and he was at the table. And it was like the greatest 15 minutes of my life because nobody else was early. Everybody else was like five minutes late. And I got like 20 minutes by myself talking to Steve Martin and I still like relish it. So like one of my favorite 20 minutes of my life, 'cause he's just amazing. - I love those moments. - Yeah. - Yeah. I have a George Carlin one where you met George Carlin? I was working the back door. I've told the story how many times. - A couple times. - Yeah. I haven't heard it. I know you have it. I was a kid, I was working the back door and I was wearing a comedy store t-shirt and this man came in and it was George Carlin and he goes, what's your name kid? I go, "Populae, I just started college and moved up here from suburbs of San Diego." I don't know, I don't give a shit. (laughing) And then he just kind of walked away. And then a year later I was still working the back door. He came in and he walked by and he goes, "Good evening, Mr. Lee." And he remembered my name. - Oh wow. - A year later. And it gave me that old business, like show business he kind of tingled on my spine. - Yeah. - Of a real class. - Yes. - And somebody, like Larry David has that, I believe. I think he has that, of that old school class. - That's a really good one. - Yeah, I think that's lost in many ways. You know, I don't even know his name. - That's true. (laughing) I was able to do a table read once with Marin, actually Mark Marin had me come in and do a table read once. And this, I don't experience this ever at all. So it was so stressful. He just wanted to hear something he was working on and I was like reading for just like the lead person and I was like, you're so in your head. 'Cause they always tell you like, okay look, it's just to hear it out loud or you're kind of like, unless I kill it. 'Cause then you kill it. - Exactly. - And you're like, hello. - Did you kill it? - No. (laughing) - And I think looking back on it, they bought a bunch of food for everyone. And then at the end of it, there was like a bunch of food left over and they're like, oh, let's take the food and no one was really taking the food. And I was like, okay, I'll do it. And I scooped like a bunch of food on a bunch of plates and left with like a bunch of the food. And looking back, I think that might have been a bad one. - No, no, no, no, no, no. - Don't waste food. - It's good that you took the food. - That seems like a test. - No, no, no, no, no. The test is, did you take the food and yes, you took the food and it's good you took the food. - Taking the food is good. You want to take the food. - Yeah, why do you want to take the food? I would say no. - No, no, no, don't be wasteful. - No, no, no, no, I think what it is is like, in my mind I was like, that kid took too much food. - No, no. - Yes, that's true. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no way. - It was a lot. - Did he offer to the food? - It was like, yeah, I did take the food. - Yeah, that doesn't seem like an awful thing. - I also noticed that Marin went up after I had taken a lot of the food and there was some stuff he was kind of scraping at where there was like not a lot left. - Well, you can't take all the food. - I didn't do that. (all laughing) - Dude, it was like, what are you doing? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, I gave a grace period. I'm like, you go ahead, like, you know. - Of course, 30 seconds, get your food. They didn't do it and then I got up there. - To me, it's a test. So if you took a lot of food, I would have clocked out. - I wouldn't have been impressed. (all laughing) - I would have been like, good, be a person who's like, it's like a kind of honesty. - Yeah. - All of my aspiring actors were like half of it was auditioning for things and the other half was finding free food. - Yeah, but also the mind games of how the free food that you can get or what's a test, secretly. - He's a millionaire. (all laughing) And he helped you, and it's not, he's a millionaire. And he offered you like a $2 sandwich. - Yeah, I mean, did you get paid to do this table read? - Um, no. - No, there you go. - That's the payment. - Yeah, there you go. - All the food you want. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Did you get the part? - No, I haven't heard about it. I honestly feel like he doesn't remember that I was there. - And did it ever come out as a project? Did you ever see it on? - I haven't seen it, but I don't know. It was relatively recent. He's probably still working on it. - Yeah. - And I'd be honored to work on it. And I'd be, and it would be a pleasure. And maybe they're gonna hit me up. They're on my number. - I don't think so. - You took too much food. - Did you ever go to a table read? 'Cause you talk about these things being so cool and good. Did you ever go to one where you were like, this was really bad. Or like a thing. - Oh. Seth. - Oh, that's a good question. - That's a great question. Yes. - You did? - Yeah, but I got the part anyway. - What? - Yeah. I could see myself when you're saying the words that they can maybe hear in my voice that I might be nervous, but I'm not. So I'm opening my mouth. I got that sound like I was nervous, but I'm not, and then also my head goes out of control. You never, that's never happened. - Okay. - I was thinking of something else. I was thinking, way, if something's bad. - Yeah. - I always think, oh, they'll fix it. Like, okay, yeah, this is awkward, structurally. And they'll fix this at some point. I think they must also know this is bad. - Oh, wow. - Yeah. - I mean, I feel like the thing that I learned from doing the years and years of table reads from the office, finally in season nine I was a producer. And so in the first eight years, every Tuesday at lunch, we would table read the next week's episode, and then the actors had to leave. But the writers and producers stayed behind and did notes. And in my actor brain, I assumed they were talking about our performances, but when I became a producer in season nine and I got to stay, I realized they never talked about our performances. They only talked about the jokes and the structure. And if something felt like it didn't work, they completely blamed themselves. And like, what they were talking about would be as like minutia as something like, oh, I want somebody to write 12 alts for this one line and this one talking head. That's your assignment. And now you go off and I want you to work on a better tag, with the new tag, a whole new tag for this. - Wow. - And so it was like, it was never picking apart the actors. - One time Alison Jones had me, 'cause I was, I had already been cast on a show and they were reading for my wife. It was like written in the show. And they wanted me to read with actresses that came in. - Yeah. - And it was an interesting, seeing it from that point of view, was so interesting to me. Because it's like, yeah, I mean, people get nervous, but that's not the end. I mean, if somebody fucks up a line, that's not the end. - No. [BLANK_AUDIO] - Walking it, that's the guy, or that's a person, you know what I mean? - When I first came out to LA, I took this some commercial workshop with a commercial casting director. And at the end of the workshop, she was like, all right, I'm gonna make the same offer that I make after every workshop and no one ever takes me up on it, but I'll do it again, which is that I invite you to come to a casting session and sit next to me and watch a casting session for a commercial. - Wow, oh man. - So I was like, I'm 100% doing this. - And did you? - Yes. - Yeah, so I'm just arrived in Los Angeles. I've been here, I've taken a workshop. - Yeah. - And now I'm sitting next to this casting director. And what was so crazy was that everybody came in the room, they didn't know who I was. So they're regarding me as if I'm a decision maker, but I'm not a decision maker. And so that was interesting. - Wow, what a good idea. - And then what was so interesting to me was how like someone would walk in the room and they would look exactly like what they wanted. Like I knew what they were looking for. - Yeah. - They would walk in, they would look the part, and then they wouldn't be good. And you'd be like, oh. - Oh. - And then someone else would walk in, they would look nothing like what they wanted, and then they would be incredible. - Yeah. - And then someone else would come in and it was like within the first 20 seconds, you knew if that person was getting a call back or not. - Oh wow. - And there were also people who walked in and just crushed it, but just, they weren't right for it. And it was true, it was just true that they weren't right for it or whatever reason. But I would also say that like 70% of the people were good. They were good enough. And so, and the other people, it's not that they were terrible. They just, they needed more time. Like they should take some more classes and stuff, you know? - Yeah. - But it was such an interesting education. It gave me so much more confidence when I went to auditions after that. - Not a lot of people would have taken that up. Not a lot of people would have been like, I'm gonna walk, you know what I'm in. - Right? - She told me, you're the first person. - Yeah, that's right. - Taking me up on this offer. - Yeah, yeah. - And I couldn't believe that. - But I can tell because your work at like, I've seen your work, it's almost out of control almost. - It is. (laughing) - So professional. - No, it's too professional almost. (laughing) - Yeah, yeah, 'cause I remember you on splitting it together, you know? I was like, you're the lead of this thing, but you were also reading other things. - I did. - Preparing yourself, yeah. - I did too much on that show. Diane, who played my older sister on that show, she got me aside and she said, you're doing too much. - Wow. - You're doing too many things. I was, I was, I was- - I could notice. - My book was coming out. I was like reading another script. I was a mom to two little kids. I was like on the board of directors of a charity. And she said, let me tell you something. You only have to do one of these things. - Yeah, wow. - You're doing too much. And then I like cried. I was like, I'm doing too much. Diane, I'm doing too many things. - Yeah. - And that's why when that show got canceled, I took a very big long break from acting. - Good. You needed to. - I did, yeah. - I really did. - Because one, I think one time you were like, reading two or three scripts at one time. - It was nuts. - And I was sitting there and I'm like, and then you said, did some parable. I forgot what it was, but, you know, the mouse that comes last, it gets the last chip. - I never said I'm parable. (laughing) - That's not her voice either. - I'm like, I don't get that parable. - I don't speak in parable. - You know, you said something like that. - I did? - Yeah. And the last, you know, I made Twinkle and every eye is the one that shines the least or something like that. And I'm like, I don't get that, when it comes to like working this hard, but. (laughing) I don't know why you did that, but, you know, but you worked a lot. - I worked too much. - Kevin Hartstyle. - Oh. - Yeah, man, that's hard. - Yeah, yeah. - I was that bad. - Oh, here we go. - I worked that much. (laughing) - I don't want to fight with you. - No, no, I mean, he has like a well-known, like, intense work. - No, I was like, I was like, - Workaholic. - Like how he Mendel's like that. Where it's like, just constantly working. And I don't see that now. - No. - Yeah, yeah, you're like completely different now. - Yeah. - Yeah. - I'm so much happier. - You seem happier. - I am. - Yeah. - But sometimes it seems like the, like, Fred, do you feel like you need to be constantly working all the time? 'Cause I'm someone where I feel like if I'm, if I try to take a break from something, like taking like a few days off of standup, I feel like I lose my mind. You, I happen to be. - I like being busy with different projects. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like just keeping it all going. - And is that applied to, like, music as well as you? - Oh, yeah, definitely. If I see any downtime, I try to fill it with music gigs and stuff, as much as I can. - I feel like you and I would have a very similar musical hits while there's that. - Hey. That's fucking amazing. Great leather jacket. - At what point did you realize that you wanted to do comedy a little more than music? Or did that never really happen? - No, I wanted to do both, somehow. I wanted to, like, whether you are good. I wanted to somehow do a version of getting to do music in comedy. And then I got to do it. - Yeah, you totally did. Yeah, the drumming thing was great. - I love comedy for drummers. - Oh, thank you. - And, you know, my son, Weston is a drummer. - Yep. - And watching him watch your special was, he was laughing so hard. Like bent over, bent over at those jokes. - That's so great. - I know, it's so good. - I think you've sent me a video of him drumming. - I probably did. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You've always had a cough, but I asked you to vibe to you. Sorry for the time. - Oh wait, they're weird. They got weird. It's the way I said it. - It's nice. - I think I will have a photo of Andy Kaufman on my. - Oh, you do? - Yeah, dresser drawer, yeah. - But you always symbolize that kind of spirit of comedy. - Wow. - Thank you. - Like almost a genius. - Whoa. Almost a genius. - Not quite there. - That's okay. I'll take it. - No, you're there. - No, you are a genius. - That's very nice. - You know what? That's very nice. - I was, I pulled back a little bit. - That's okay. - You are a genius. - You are a genius. - You're a genius. Were people feeling that way when you were in your early days of doing comedy? Were you doing weird stuff on a day when you did? Were people fans of it, or was it like this? - No, no, it was kind of like some awkward silences. But then. - That's what I meant by it. - Yeah, yeah. But I used it to my advantage. I was like, okay, this would be my thing that this joke is not going to work. And then SNL came around and then it worked for them because it was like different characters and stuff. So it worked for a lucky thing. - Was there stuff that you did in your audition? I like hearing people's SNL audition stories. But did you have one of those that was like silent? Were people say like, no one laughed? Or was there stuff for you where like, oh, this is-- - Well, now I've had the luxury of watching a documentary about the auditions. And so now my memory is only what I saw in this video. 'Cause they showed me my audition. - Oh, wow. - And there's Tina Fey, laughing away. - Wow. - In Paula Pal and, I mean, I texted them right after. I'm like, you guys got me this job. Thank you so much for, they were laughing all the way through. - Wow. - I don't mean it like, I'm so funny. I just mean like, I heard, my memory at the time was I just, just, you know, went through it, like lightning. I just like, let me get this right. But then, yeah, then, they were-- - I mean, the prep work. - Yeah, I can't remember. - You know, it's like a lot, right? - For an audition? - For that audition, I can't remember. - Oh, yeah, I practiced over and over in my hotel. Over and over. - In your hotel, you weren't going to like, open mics or something and trying to like-- - Oh, I mean like, before the actual thing. - Yeah, so yeah, so I was going to open my-- - Yeah, you could have done the SNL. - No. - I think so. - You couldn't open mics. - I guess you could have. - Oh, yeah. - I can't. - You can. - No. - And you won't. - No. - Okay. - It's not-- - It's not. - So nice. - You can do a price is right, you can do SNL. - Yeah. - Thank you. - What? - Wow. - My legal name. - Oh, Regina. - Regina. - Regina. - Regina. - Regina. - Yeah. - Did you get called up? - No. I really needed it. I did, I was like, yes. I was like, I'll take anything, I'll wash your dryer. (laughing) - Oh wow. - Please, so car. Anything. No, I can't do accents or sing very well. And I can't either, I got on one. - Because somewhat, they said it. - I got a couple accents, I think. - I can't, they said it's someone's name. - They're you doing, the name of the goon, the goon, the goon. - Oh, I can't sit. - Where we go on in here. - I can't even do that, I can't. - You can't do that? - No. - Do that right now. - I can't even do the name of the goon, the goon, the goon, the goon, the goon, the goon, my name of the goon. - Okay. - Yeah, this is my phone. - My name. - Yeah, you have the E. - My knee. - My knee. - My knee. - My knee. - My knee. - I just need you there, you gotta call me. - Yeah, well this, maybe it's a duo. - Maybe it is. - Yeah. - Can I say something? I'm gonna get, I just wanna bring it into this moment. And I just wanna say, this is super genuine. I really love you guys. And. - You're leaving? - No. - Okay. (laughs) No, like this is a little bit of a pinch me moment for me. To sit in between you two, you're so funny. And I look up to you both so much. And like one of my favorite things about where I have ended up in life is that I get to be around funny people all the time, all the fucking time. And I get to laugh and just, it's like the best thing. - Yeah. - Like I get to sit here with you in real life. Do you know what a cool thing I am? - It's so much better. - With anyways. - Yeah, I know what you mean. And we feel the same. - We feel the same. - You're talking about Fred and Bobby, right? Or is it me and Bob? - Luke, I'm including you. - Okay. - Luke, you're never gonna see these people again. - I just wanna show you. - Fuck the top. - You mean we might hit the house. You fuck. I just wanted to clarify what, so I could tune into the conversation there, I think. But it's mutual and you're right, that feeling of getting to be around funny people, nothing like it. It's my favorite thing about being an actor, is being on a set and being around creative people who are being amazing and funny, it's so great. Well, that's what Nimrod says. That's what it is. Yeah, that's exactly what it's. It's the new and the young. And you know what? The young cast in this is so good. And I am rooting for them to all just like blow up from this movie, because they all deserve it. Well, they're all in the trajectory of doing so anyway, right? They are. Yeah, they're like the hottest young guys and, yeah, you work with them. Some of them. Yeah, Mason. Yeah. You know Mason? Yeah. Mason Tames. You know Mason Tames? Huh? What have you been in? Uh, he's in a new movie that's coming up called Nimrod. Hey. Hey. Hey. It's something I can't read. He was in the, um, how to train the dragon, black phone. Black phone. Yes. Yeah. Which is a great horror film. Yes. Is this a scene or the trailer? That's, I think the trailer. Oh, cool. Looks really cool. It's cool. Yeah. I'm excited for this. And, um, the guys were really nice too. I mean, I love all three of those guys. Yeah. And then. That's what I'm talking about. Do you mean Green Day? Are those guys? I was real questions. Actually, who were you talking about? I don't know. What? Do Key in America? Okay. Yeah. No, Keen Ruffalo. Yeah. And there's Ignacio. Yeah. He's great. I love both of those guys. Yeah. They're great. I'm a Keen. They're you are. It's amazing. And I don't know if it's because I played the mom in this movie and my house is kind of the hang house. You know, when you were a teenager, it wasn't there always the house that you went to that house. Wait. What house was you? Are you away? Or do we come to your house? Do we come to the opposite? No, we went to David Jacobs' house. Okay. Okay. What house did we go to in your neighborhood? We went to Ellen Grant's house. Oh. The grants was the hang house. It was. She was one of six. And so you definitely wanted to hang at Ellen's house because there were just, there weren't, it wasn't possible to keep eyes. That's Hanley. Right? Because there was a bunch of kids in the family and they get to go in and out whenever they wanted. Right. They didn't know who was coming and who was going. Oh, so the parents are out of town for so long? Yes. Where are they going? Yes. For how long? Ellen and I would just sneak in and out of her window. Yeah. Whatever we wanted at night. We didn't do any drugs. Yeah. But we made up. I know. We made up. I know. But you did it. Yeah. We made up. We made up. Yeah. But then in this movie, Jodie is, she's the mom of the hang house and I got very attached to all these boys who are really young men and so I have this like way that I feel still very motherly toward them and I keep my eye on them and I'm rooting for all of them. That's amazing. And what was your hair situation? Was that like, because that looks like a real one? Okay. So people have asked me if that's a wig. So Fred, I did this movie two weeks after I had my port removed after my cancer treatment. So that's my hair. Wow. So in my cancer journey, I had to do surgery in chemotherapy and radiation and I had to do a year of immunotherapy, which is you still get infusions in your port for a year. And Lee had been with me in the house during this whole year. We've talked about this and this movie is really special to me because as I would sit in one chair in the living room sort of recovering from all of the various procedures, he was sitting in another chair in the living room working on drafts of this movie. And then just about two months before I was finished, the movie got green lit and he had to go to Oklahoma City. So I had to kind of finish out the last couple months of my treatment as like a single mom to my kids and all that and two weeks before I shot this movie, I got my port removed. I had just finished the treatment and and I just kind of brought all of that into this character. Just the the weight of that year, and all of that. But it was really special because we brought the kids to Oklahoma City. My daughter is actually in the movie. She plays McKenna Grace's little sister Cassidy in the movie and then my son plays a drummer in McKenna's band in the movie, and they would sit and they watched on the monitors and I'll get a little emotional, but it was it was really special for me to take the experience of that year and put it into this character. I mean, it's not that she's been through cancer treatment, but she is a widow and there's a heaviness to her life as a single parent and all of those things. But for my kids to see me get up out of the chair and walk onto this set and do this movie and watch me on the monitors, it was it was like, mom's gonna be okay. Right? You know, it's like and and we will and we go on. So it was it's really special, but yeah, it was I was nervous to walk on set. I remember meeting with the hair and makeup people and being like, there's not a lot to work with. There's not a lot of hair and she was so sweet and she was like, I got you. And she said, let's brush it all forward and it and I love it. I love how this woman looks. I love who she is and and yeah, so thank you for asking me about that. It looks great. It like really is the character. It is the character and I and there's a part of me that feels like, but for that whole experience, I'm not sure I'm right for this role. Like, pre that experience, I'm not sure I had it. So it was only because of that that I had it to give. And so that that also like makes it meaningful and stuff too, you know, because I mean, that's all you all you have as an actor is like, I don't know, your imagination and your lived experiences. And there's only so much, I mean, unless you're like one of the greats, there's only so much you can imagine, you know, into a character. Like I just, I pull a lot, me personally as an actor, I pull a lot from my lived experience. And so, yeah, I was grateful to be able to do that here. Yeah. I mean, for me, the whole experience of seeing you and just being around it all, it's like, I don't know, it was a really special experience during the movie. Also I feel the love from you guys too, you know, and that feels good as well. Yeah. Yeah. But it was, I hope everyone watches it August 20, 14th. August 14th. August, 2014. August, 2014. (laughs) Go back in time. That's right. Yeah. That August 14th. And watch it. Watch it in the theaters. Please do. We got to support comedy. Yes. And we need to support movies in general because we want more movies to get made. Yeah. And don't pirate it. Yeah, don't pirate it. I'm talking to Napster. (laughs) Napster, right? Yeah. Did you see Odyssey? I don't know. Why? We talked about it last week. He said you were going to. I know. You didn't do it? I. It's a three-hour movie. She hasn't seen it. I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it. You haven't seen it. I went to buy a ticket and I couldn't, like, the 7 AM University of City Walk was sold out. It's tough to get a 70-millimeter ticket. Yeah. And I want to see it like. What is it with the 70-millimeter? Just watch a regular style. I don't think you need it. I can watch it regular style. Yeah. That's what it is. First elevated things, like, there's Dolby, which is, like, better sound and better picture and stuff. But I think you generally don't need it. It's just a really good, fun movie. It's well-paced. It doesn't drag. It's. I didn't feel like you needed 70-millimeter iMacs. Yeah. Better to see it. In my opinion. I'll see it again. Okay. I'll see you again. I'll see you again. I'll see you again. Yeah. I'll see you again. I'll see you again. I'll see you again. Yeah. I'll see you again. I'm a fan of Green Day and it looks like a great movie. I love like coming of age movies. And when you do your things like comics and lees, I watch that. Come on. Comics and lees. Really good job on that. Oh, thank you. I want a star. I was on a. set NBC. It's a lot of. Yes. It's your thing. ABC. Yeah. Cable. A network. Network is a stretch. It's a network. It's on TV. Yeah. It's called Comics and Lees. Yeah, they unleashed me and it was bulkers. And how did you do? Insanely good. It was crazy. Great. Yeah, pull it up. No, no. No, no. Yeah, pull up. He's lost Nimrod. 14. No, pull it up. No, no, no. I want to show these professionals. No, no, no, no. I want to see these professionals to see the scene. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pull it up, please. You guys are very talented comedians. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you're going to see how. What is this power? No, no. I want to see it now. Yeah, yeah. On TV television. Yeah. You find it or no? You can't even find it, right? Yeah. I can even find it. That's the stuff coming out on cable television now for people like me is when you don't do very well. It's impossible to find. It kind of goes away forever. Oh, everything. like that. It's great. Yeah. Oh, you like it that way? I love it. Yeah, because it makes it temporary. Yeah, it's paper. Yeah, you just serve some things not great. Fine. Yeah, move on. Yeah. And before we go, you lied to Fred earlier. You said you weren't part of a music institution. Bobby was in a band called "Laxon Superb" and he played the piano. Wow. Hey. You also do music. Bobby. Yeah, I was in the psychedelic. Why? Yeah. Because it's not the level of yours. You can't look up "Laxon Superb" and you have the cat. You know, this is a show you who's in the band. You're in a band. You're playing keyboard. By the way, I can't play. Look at that. How long ago? When is this from? I used to be in a band in the late 1980s. But that video's from the late 80s? Yeah. That's the first video ever. What is this shot on? I know. Yeah, it's like animated watercolour. Yeah, we didn't have it. Is this in San Diego somewhere? Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty bad. But anyway, where did we play in San Diego? What was the one main alternative? Oh yeah, you played at the. I forgot. We did. Sorry. No, I like it. Nobody asked about why my head is shaved. I was thinking it, but I thought. Why is your head shaved? For work. For work. For a role. What right now? I just finished. I didn't finish. We have some more to do. But I wasn't fishing. I wasn't fishing for, like, asked me about work, but I was a little bit like, wow, no one. I just thought it was something you were doing. Yeah, exactly. Wow. I just thought it was. I thought it was for you personally. Yeah, no. I don't mind it. How have you ever done it before and how do you feel about it? I've done it during my band days, one of the whole band we'd all shave our heads. But the way I feel about it is I think about it more than other people do. Meaning, I'm like, I think it's like a big deal. And then people are like, "Oh, no, we have our own lives." Right. So, yeah, I guess your hair looks shorter, but. I was thinking about it kind of a lot, honestly. But that's just me. That's okay. You have a good head shape. I kind of have a good view of it. You have a good head. Yeah, very short. Yeah, it's good for the summer. But so, what's the role where you had to shave your head? That one right there. What? Is that one right there? Yeah, yeah. Well, it's good. It looks good. That's you in Wednesday, right? Yeah. Yeah. It was shooting in Ireland. Is it a new. There's our new Wednesday? Is your shooting? The next season. That's what you're doing. Yeah. Okay. Big show. Yeah. Huge. But so, did you ever, at first, opt for just a bald cap and then decided to shave your head? I insisted on shaving it, because bald caps are. Well, they take a very long time. Really long time. And they're hard to keep up. Yep. And it's also they're very stiff. So, if you're wearing one, it's hard to like. Yeah. This was just easier. Yeah. Yeah, also with a super El Niño heat. That's right. Yeah, we're in a super El Niño. Yeah, we are. Yeah. And anyone that denying it right now, open your eyes. Open your eyes. People are. People are. People are dying. Yeah. Just a natural, new weather pattern. I've never seen this before. There was one of those makeup things. Oh, really? In fast motion. Oh, let's do it again. How many hours? There's so many hours. Show a bald, which is very funny. Yeah, you do show. But aren't these funny in general? Yeah, yeah. Wow. It'd be funny to do one of these and then just nothing changes. It's just everyone touching your face. I want to do. I want to do a live one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We should do one. On the live sketch show, that would be good. That would be annoying. Is that your camera shooting or is it that? No, I know. Yeah. Yeah. I hate when they do little tricks like that. Yeah, hold on. Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Great. Great. Here we go, Fred. Can we watch an edit of what we just did? Are you scared? We're going to tighten everything up. This is going to be a great one. Leave it as is. No, we should keep it real good. Are you fearing it, my friend? No, just looking forward to it. So watch Nimrods and watch Wednesday and watch what do you got going on? I mean, we should play the Odyssey. No, I don't think he did it. You got to be a good sport. I didn't mean enough. Check it out. Check it out. You know, a lot of work went into it. It's fun. I give Fred a general round of applause. How was your week, man? I saw Resident Evil, the new Evil Dead movie. Oh, did you like it? I did not. Oh, yeah. And I saw the Supergirl. Okay, weird choice. Why even go see it? Because I hate it Superman. I want to see how I did hate it. I did hate Superman, but I like Supergirl better. Why? That's crazy. Better than Superman. Yeah, she's better dead because she's dead, isn't it? That's not out. That's the same. Is any of this going in? That's all of this is going in. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Watch what you're out. Everything's recorded. You think of odd air sign or something. You didn't see Super. Super. I didn't see either. Super. Okay. I saw a little bit of Superman. I don't know. It was okay. The dog. What's up with the dog, dude? I tell you shit. Like, you need to put people up there with that run. That's part of us, spider food. That's fucking those fucking dogs. Yeah, he's got a pit bull. Yeah. You can see that pit bull that does that face like this. I wish I hadn't. Especially come from you. It was a good impression. Yeah. The other ones better. That's right on. Yeah, yeah. I did. And you're piping in. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was a really good observation. I like it. It's an impression. Can you do it? I look ahead. Just had a stroke. Anyway, what are you doing, dude? Yeah, it's different. It's piping down. Yeah, it's piping down, dude. That's enough out of you. Okay. Yeah. But I like that you're throwing it out there. Do another face thing when the guests are on. Oh, okay. Okay. Give me one. Give me a. No, no, no. You have to come up with a good but not that one. Yeah. Facial. Yeah. Do you ever do a come face like this and do a funny face? Yeah. That armistice. You know, Jenna, you ever do a come face like this? Yeah. Figure it out. How would you do it? They're totally gonna hit you. But I want you to try. You know what? I did see pop up. You did an interview about being on this podcast. I don't know. You're getting interviews now. That's pretty well. It was for about four people. Also, there's a guy who had me assigned his $2 bill to Connie's store. It's famed, dude. He was a dude. Oh my god. I thought he was shitting them from Tiger Belly. Yeah, from Tiger Belly. I thought he was making fun of me. I've given you everything. It has begun. It was cool. Yeah. I've given you my blood dick. It was cool. Thank you for the blood dick. Draw more of it. Yeah. Well, you know, it was supposed to be an interview. These guys came to the commie store and they're like, we want to have you on our podcast because we, you know, liked your performance. And I was like, oh, cool. And then I ended up doing the podcast and all they did was ask me about being on Tiger Belly. That's what I thought it was. That was cool. You're you're very ungrateful. I'm very grateful. Yeah. And you're a piece of shit. You've got, yeah. So those are the two facts. I'm very grateful. It's very special treatment at the commie store. No, he's been very like we're friendly. Huh? You talked to me like we're friendly. We are friendly. I mean, I feel like we were we were friendly before also though. Not less so now. Less friendly now. Yeah. I get to do more. I get to know you. It's friendly. The more you get to know me. Yeah. I understand that. But you know, you're a good kid. You have a future. Okay. And I'm very excited for you. Thank you. I appreciate that. But, you know, check your fucking ego at the door. Why for being friendly to you? I shouldn't be friendly. Like a hat. Put it like getting in the room. Put it like a hat. Okay. I'll put it like a hat. Now, right now. Put your hat at the door. It's right there. Yeah. Exactly. There's the ego. There's the ego hat. And now I think it would help provide a bigger ego because I think you would be able to handle stuff like this. Put the hat. Put the hat back on. I think you're right. Put it back on. Yeah. I think big ego's handled like a lot of these opportunities very well. Oh my god. Everything you say is annoying. Is that wrong? Is that wrong? It's not right. We don't know what it is. Guys, the comedy store are like, oh, Tucker Belly. And I'm like, oh, what? You're like making fun of me. I have assumed that they're making fun of me and shitting on me. All the comments, people yelling at me. No, I'm like, uh, do other dormant look at you? Kind of with some side up. No, they all look down on me forever. I will never be allowed to have a big guy. - It's shit on there. - I get shit on there so much. - Yeah, people bully him. - There was a guy, one of my friends I brought to the comedy store, he was like, "Yo, you and Bobby." I was like, "Yeah, yeah." He was like, "He slapped you in the face." And I was like, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." To a lot of people, I hate you there. I'm like, "Oh, yeah, but like that's kind of. " - I never slapped you in the face. - That's crazy. - Okay, cut that out of the face. - No, don't cut it out. Did I do that? - Yeah, but it's fine. - Funny. Why would I do that? - Did you harm me in anyway? - No, I was like facing the other way, talking to someone and then I turn around, then he slapped me in the face. - That's what arms do. - Yeah, yeah. - You never fled your arms? - No, holding it in your density. I'm just saying. - Or your ego to understand how. - It was like, "Oh, yeah, yeah." - Back in your face. - It was an accident. - It was a complete accident. And for you to say that it was a purposeless act. - Well, my first part, sorry, I didn't speak to that. - It's taking breath. - Yeah. - I don't think you're, yeah, these people don't know. - I'm kind of nervous of it. I think probably the most nervous I've ever been. - I think you're nervous. Is it because of Jenna or you? - It's both. - Really? - Yeah. - You were afraid we'd vibe. - Jenna and I are closer than friends. - Will we bring up the candy crush thing? - Are you gonna bring it up? - We already talked about it on hers. - Oh, really? - Yeah, I could talk about it again. She's never done this. - No, you look, you should ask about it. - Okay. - She's be like, I heard that you and Bobby had an altercation. - Yeah. - I have that written here. It says candy crush. Great. Prepare for that. I'm gonna shoot that right at you. - Confident, he's definitely confident. - You want to get physically distressed. (laughing) 'Cause I'll just trust you, right? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. But yeah, I'm pretty low ranking at the comedy store. I think I might be the, like, I don't, I can't imagine. - You're in the trajectory of becoming a paid regular there. - Thank you. - All right, because that's our goal. - Thank you. - And when the Tiger Belly team sets out a goal, we make it happen. Look at Rick Glassman. Are they here? - I appreciate that. That's true, Rick Glass. - What? - What?
