That's right, joining us today is the first guest we ever had on the show. - Yes sir. - Yes sir. Paul Ronny's here. Oh! (imitating music) We're gonna talk about everything from his new movie, "Anneconda" coming out, working with the one-in-one, "The Jack Black." - Legend. - We're also gonna find out if he knows, "Ball" is so much more. - And so much more. - So stick around. - Check it out. - All right, now. - Here we go. In three, two, one. Hi, the guest today is an actor, producer, screenwriter, from the University of Kansas. You know it from "Mox Talk." - Wow, Jack. This is Florida. I love you man, Anchor Man, Parks and Rack. White Hot American Summer, and his upcoming movie, "Anneconda." He's the guy who made "Anneconda" cool, a die-hard cheese fan, and the 2021 sexiest man alive in the first-ever guest on New Heights. That's right. Please welcome back 92% of his mistress, Paul Ronny. - Paul Ronny. - What? - Hell yeah. - Oh yeah, it's good to be back with you guys. - Welcome back, my brother. - Thank you for having me. It's good to see you as it's always good to see you guys. Is that true first? - Yeah, you wish me a happy birthday, man. - Travis had a birthday. - Oh, I remember that. - And you surprised guests. - You know what I remember? The most from that. It was your birthday. Travis, you were laughing. And then we started talking about our dads and we just wound up crying. - Thank you. - Thank you, Robert. It's like having birthday and we're all balling. - All right. - Thank you. - All guys. - That's the best dude. - That's the best man. - I felt like that's not what you wanted me on. - It is. It is. It's exactly what I needed. I needed to get reminded that I have an amazing dad on my birthday. No, I had to thank him for that. This is great, man. Well, I appreciate you coming back on. You're obviously in the middle of promoting anaconda, dude. The last, I kind of remember talking to you a little bit over the summer about this at the big slick, dude. - That's right. Yeah, man. - You were, you were mentioning it and I was like all giddy in the seat. Like, get ready like, dude, you guys are really doing this? This is so fucking cool, man. You and Jack Black, everyone's always fucking love the duo of seeing you guys just interact here and there. And now they get to see it on the big screen, baby. - Let's go. - Let's go. - He's the best. He's one of one, Jack Black. - Dude, unbelievable. - True, multi-talented. Multi-very musical talent. - Yeah. - He doesn't, he's like a comedy tsunami. He's a tornado, he's a tornado of talent. There we go. The Alliteration God. He has, he's like, he's like, that's as many in devil. I gotta know, who had this idea? Where did this come from? - The guy who wrote this script is got him Kevin Etten. And he wrote it with another guy. He's kind of his partner is got him Tom Gormiken. They had done another movie, previous to this, called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which I don't, I would highly recommend this movie. - Nicholas Cage is in it, playing himself. And Pedro Pascal is in it, playing a guy who's just really into Nicholas Cage. And it's hilarious. And it's this weird meta comedy. It's just so smart and original. And so I loved that movie. I saw it like four times. And when this script showed up, it was from these guys. I'm like, oh my God, they made that amazing movie. And I started reading and started laughing just because it's similar in that people think it's a remake of Anaconda. But it's really not, it's these idiots that try and remake it. (laughing) And so it's kind of, you know-- - The Indie Way. - Yeah, and then while we're trying to make this, you know, we're not filmmakers, we were just kids that used to make movies together because it was fun. And then we're now, you know, all old in our lives. And they haven't worked out the way we expected them to. So we kind of throw caution to the wind and try and recapture the magic and pursue our dream of finally making a movie. We're gonna reboot, reimagine our favorite movie, Anaconda. And then we go down and then we start getting hunted by a real Anaconda. It's epic. - It's so dumb. - It's epic, dude. I fucking loved every second of it, man. - Absolutely, thanks, man. - I gotta do, so you mentioned a bunch of friends that used to make movies as kids. - Yeah. - When you were a kid in high school and middle school, like, was there ever like a camcorder, like a house, like family camcorder that you used to do stuff like this in the backyard? - Absolutely, this was like, this was my favorite thing to do. I had the camera, you know, I mean, a fossil. So I had the camcorder that you put the videotape in the side of it and then close it. And then I would just hit the button to record. I would self-edit through the camera. - Through the camera. - Oh my god, I was gonna say it. - Yeah, as I edit, it stops, stops, stops, stops. And so I would, yeah, we made movies with Buddy's Mine. I did it all through college and I thought they were so funny. And then I watched them back and it's like, these are terrible. These are terrible. - These are terrible. - Who's the experience though, man? - I didn't say it in your feet, what? Do you remember any of the names of the movies? - One of the things that I used to do with a buddy my name, Guy Garvin. And we did a series of, they were, Hey Garvin. They were the, Hey Garvin series. And it started where it was a Hey Garvin. Tossed me a beer, would ya? And he would just always say, all right. And he'd be in another room somewhere. And then he would throw a beer and through these cuts, it would fly around corners. And it was, you know, and then we did about 10 of them. And they just got more and more elaborate outside inside it, you know. - This is gold. - This is gold. - I asked that because Jason did the exact same thing. - I knew you were going there. - I knew you knew I'm going here. Jason had, and Jason, you can go ahead and tell him the, the gist of it. But I just remembered the name of it being Ribs of Beef. - That was one of the movies we made. - I was in a satire class in high school and we like re-imagined the Rumpel Stiltskin movie. Her story as a movie about a king that just wanted KFC chicken. And somehow Ribs of Beef would spin something in a fried chicken. It was so stupid. Looking back, I was like, what do we do in it? But I loved, we were the next wave of it. I would go and eye movie. I made Travis's Highlight Films. I would make my highlights for the team. - Oh really? - I loved this. We love messing around with all that stuff. - Yeah. - It was so fun. - So watching this film, like the Squatch portion was like so, just like, oh my gosh, this is sitting home right now. - Yeah. - It is a thing, I think a lot of, a lot of kids do. That's what he did kind of growing up. - Oh yeah. - And it's, you know, I definitely related to that part of the story. - You know, when you're that age and you're talking to your friends, like, we could do this. - Yeah. - We could do this. - Do you see us on the screen? - People would freak out if they saw how good these videos are that we're making. (laughing) - I'm really glad that they're not on YouTube. 'Cause they're not. - Exactly. - Back it now. It's like these are on watch. - That was the fun of it though. Because Jason's, Jason's the same way. His was on the old school, like family camcorder, like the school camcorder that he used. So this is like ancient artifact, like you, it's since somebody's parents' storage that they just pop out every like few, like decades. That was just like. - Unless your dad records law and order over time. (laughing) - Which legitimately, we're a family and a family video. - A family video. - A family video. (laughing) - It cuts to the law and order intro in the middle of it. - My dad. - Are you. (laughing) - So good, man. - Well, my wife was pregnant with our son, Jack, who you guys know. - Yeah, that's my God. - Julie watches so much law and order. Like it's on a loop all day, all the time. And then once, when Jack was a baby, when law and order would come on, I mean, he couldn't even walk. He's like on the couch kind of half-sleeping. When the don't, don't, don't, don't, he would just pop up and you can see how it is. (laughing) - He was so used to kind of, when he was inside, hearing that theme, it was like a dog whistle for him. (laughing) - So good. It is a catchy tune, man. - It is. - You wouldn't Jack Black star in this thing. in terms of how it came together for your guys' role, did you guys come together on this? Or did you take it to him? Did he take it to you? Did the writers already have this kind of mapped out that they wanted you guys to take this role on together? Or what? - I got sent this script and I read it and thought it was really smart and funny and I hadn't really seen anything quite like it, but it was kind of still a work in progress. So I started kind of trying to work with them and kind of start to develop it a little bit more with them. They were writing it, I didn't write any of it, but we had talked about it for months and months and I was a real gung ho to do it and something else had come up and it wasn't really set up and then I got this message that oh Jack Black read it and he wants to do it. And I worked with Jack a couple of times but never like this and we've done little bits in things in the past and I really, I mean, I love Jack, he's the greatest as we all know. And so I thought, oh, I gotta call him because if he's doing it, I really like this is, I would be so much fun. And so we were talking on the phone and we're kind of like, yeah, all right, you're gonna do it? Yes, let's do it and we talk for like a good 15 minutes and then he goes, oh yeah, and then when you do this and this and I'm doing this and this and I realize as he say it, I like, wait a minute, which part were you thinking? Thinking, which, I was playing the director, Doug, which is, he goes, I was gonna play Doug, I saw you as Griff. I said, oh, I was imagine, I was Doug and you were Griff. I saw you as Griff. He's like, oh, I was, uh, and I was like, I'm just like, Griff, and then really how it happened. We just like, oh, I'll just play that part. So we made this decision, never consulting the director. (laughing) Not the right thing to do, but that's how it happened. And I think that we were both really excited at the idea of working together because, you know, we've talked about it for a long time and I'm the number one Jack Black fan. So fucking, I always thought Jason had a little Jack Black in him. - Yeah, you know, I've been a fan of Jack for a long time. - Yeah, no, you guys are kind of cut from the same cloth, I think. You have that. - I wish I had an ounce of that guy's talent in creativity. - Yeah, you do, you do too, Travis. There's like kind of, there's an alpha quality, but there's just like a good, there's like a good time Charlie thing, built in kind of hardwired in you guys. And, but Jack is on a whole other level. - Oh, like what's on another stratus for you? - I remember seeing him, his first movie was this movie called Bob Roberts. - Okay. - This is in the 90s and I went to go see it as Tim Robbins movie. And he was just, it was his first thing. He was like a small part, but I remember vividly. I'm like, who is that guy? 'Cause he's so psycho and funny. And he just played a guy who's just really into the politician, Bob Roberts. And, and got a few weeks after I saw it, I had an audition and I went to this audition. There was like one other guy in the waiting room waiting to audition and it was him. And I was like, oh, I got completely star struck and I was like, hey man, I just saw Bob Roberts. You're the guy from Bob Roberts, right? He's like, yep. And I said, you, you were so funny in that. Oh my God, and me why? And I got a, we're auditioning for the same part. There's no way I'm getting close to this thing. It's going to this talent machine. Neither one of us got the part. But that was the first time that I met him. Yeah, and that was probably God. That was 30 years ago, yeah. He doesn't feel like he's changed either. He feels like he's the same guy which is like impressive to like maintain that level of energy throughout your entire career. It's really wild. I mean, we, you know, to be with him and you're just kind of like out in public when people see him, they freak out. You know, it's like, it's like meeting a beetle or something. They're just like to see Jack Black out in the wild. And when it kind of goes to over to him and talks to him, he gives them a Jack Black experience. He's just, he is, he's just pure goodness and energy and yeah, I love the guy. And it seems effortless, man. It just, it oozes out of a man. It's so smooth. Yeah. And, and you know, I'm sure it's like, he's got insecurities or fears or self-conscious about we would have, but he just, you would never know if he does. He just doesn't show it. He's just kind of, he really is about laughs in a good time and, and rockin' and rockin' hard 'cause he's, if he wasn't an actor, he is a rock star. - Life's a good time in rockin' is what this movie does. And it also gave us one of our new terms I had never heard. Buffalo sober? Is that a real, is that, did you guys invent that? - Yeah, we're set, we live in Buffalo and Steve's on, plays guy who's maybe, maybe had wrestled with some demons. - Has had some, you know, took him in to put it. - He's decided to really, he's decided to really clean up his act, finally. And so I asked, all right, sober and he says yes, but he's, he's Buffalo sober, which means just beer and wine and maybe a few, a few bites of the liquor. - Why is it like a lighter liquor? - The real light. - No, the light liquor. - I kind of want to go Buffalo sober. I'm kind of in the Buffalo sober. This sounds great. - We were driving the director at Eros Crazy 'cause every time we do that CD, he goes, "Oh, Buffalo sober." And we just keep goin'. Buffalo sober. In the heart of the manicom. (laughing) That's great. - What would the equivalent to, to Kansas City sober be? - What would that be? - Kansas City sober, just boulevard. (laughing) - Nice, just boulevard, nice. - Just boulevard, just boulevard, just boulevard. - That's right, local brews. - I'm only lugging, you can only have rigor when you're eating barbecue. - That's right. - There you go. Jason, what do you got, Philly sober? - I don't like there is such a thing. - The citywide special, I think it's a shot of gym beam in a PBR, a camp PBR, delicious. - If you get to anywhere in the city, you should be able to get that for like $1 or something like that. Maybe it's two bucks. - Yeah. - I don't know that's still out there, but that was the citywide special for a long time, so. - Well, if you're lookin' to get out of a hole in Philly. - That's where you go. (laughing) - Or go into a hole. - Head over to Pats. - Patrick Geno's, Angelo's. - To gyms. - There's a Tony's in there, too. There's a Tony Luke's, I think it's called. - Tony Luke's, I mean, pretty much any Italian name and put cheese steak after it. - And it was probably a cheese steak spout in Philadelphia. - Yeah. - We did prep some questions for Jack. Do you mind answering for him as him? - Sure. - Yeah. - All right. - All right. - What was it like to work with Paul? - He sucks. (laughing) - Perfect, all right. - He's a real diva. Pain in the ass. Always check in his hair, making sure he has the most lines. I hate him. (laughing) - He actually wanted to play Doug, did you tell you that? - Yeah, I tried to steal my part. (laughing) - So, Jackie went to high school with Maya Rudolph. - What was that like growing up with Maya? - It was incredible. She was, she was all over me. - And. (laughing) - It was a little hard. She was always funny. I always really liked her. I would always, I think it was that she would always, hear me singing mini-ripperton songs, that to mom. (laughing) Because I'm such a great singer, I was always in key and I'd hit that high C, and I don't know. It triggered something in her. (laughing) And so she was just always hanging around. It got awkward all through our 20s, but we're good now. We're cool. - Like your parents, Judith and Thomas were actual rocket scientists. How did they react when you told them you wanted to be an actor? They knew that I wasn't going to really be able to do much of anything else. (laughing) They were just happy to kind of get me out of the house and focused on something. Really all I wanted to do was play video games and listen to Led Zeppelin and ACDC in my room. So when I said, I wanted to do something. Honestly, it's like I could have said, I wanted to be, you know, a tax collector. I wanted to be a dog walker. I wanted to be a danger, say, yeah, great. We said go for you, we do some get out, get out of the house. We're rocket scientists, forgot to say. Obviously, these kinds of brains are not genetic. (laughing) - That was fucking perfect. Galie, the funniest quote from my dad when I got drafted was that both my kids have a job, I've done my part. (laughing) - Well, that's it. - That's it. - Let's do one. - Yeah. - Thank you to our sponsor, American Express.

Let's talk pre-game rituals. Do you miss them? Still have them? I kind of have one, I guess, for Monday and I count down, like I kind of, I go do the production meeting, then I kind of iron out what's happening in the rundown. Then I go to the makeup lady, then I go to the hair, and then I go on set. It's just curious to see if you were putting that same game day energy into your new broadcasting routine. That's all. Well, first and foremost, it includes making sure that this beard is looking real nice, which is starting to show some of my grades again after dying yet. I'm getting those natural colors back. Thank you. Thanks so much. But yeah, I have some grooming individuals that make sure it's looking nice and tidy. If you were looking for a tool to help wrangle it in a little bit, look no further than Gillette Labs NFL license razor.

I hear it say must have for NFL fans this season and clearly you two sold available now 12 teams, including the Eagles of Chiefs. Get it while you can at Gillette.com slash NFL Gillette. The best of fan can get. All right. Now next segment we're going to do a little. Does Paul no ball, baby? Just Paul no ball. Our staff plays a game which waits a lot of their time. It's called the NFL Harry Pickham. You'll be giving teams at random and have to select one player from the team to add to a fantasy lineup. All right. So you get points for their best fantasy season. And the goal is to get the most points possible. Make sense? No, I wasn't paying attention, but I'll figure it out. Yeah. Basically you just want to pick the best fantasy lineup. Yeah, I got you. Got you. Nice. So you get you get quarterback running back wide. There's two wide receivers a tight end and two flexes. The Tampa Bay bucket nears. You can pick anybody from their roster history. Okay. And then so like if I were no no no no you just you just pick the team. I don't even know how this goes. No, no, no, you're going to get a quarter back a quarterback throughout history from the bookineers. Correct. And so if I'm taking Tom Brady, the pat the Patriots stats don't count. It has to be when he was with the bucket nears. I think he might have had his best season in Tampa Bay though. That'll be that's true. All right. And then it's like that's the name of the game. You got to fight does Paul no ball in the year. You know Doug Williams Doug Williams. I don't know if any of those stats were compiled for fantasy back in that day. I'll go with them. You can also go running back receiver. Yeah, you can have you don't have to do whatever. Oh, there's a better. Oh, I got you. Oh, it's not the whole team. Oh, I see. I got you. Okay, offensive players though. So you can't take that great defense. I want to shoot. Oh, man, I'll go I'll go Mike Evans for there. There we go. Love it. Love it. All right. All knows ball. New York, football giants, football giants. I'll go giants. Oh, there's no defense in there. Is there. No, okay. I know Travis would go who Jeremy Shockey. I love the shocky, man. Shockey was my guy. I knew you were going shocky. You might want to take a flex got OBJ in there. Of course, OBJ. I like OBJ. I'm going to go OBJ in my flex. No, no, Beckham, Jill, your baby early in crime. The devil's cold. This is where I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Oh, man. What to do. I mean, here's where I'm way. I'm here's my I'm way in between Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison. Yeah, it's tough. Peyton did set the record. When he was in Denver, take the quarterback when you can get him. You don't want to stuck all the sun here. Yeah, that's where you go. Peyton Manning. The sheriff. The sheriff. Seattle Seahawks. Uh, I'll go Sean Alexander running back. Oh, great pick. Yes, Paul. Those balls. Cardinals. I'm going to go Larry Fitzgerald. Yes. Yes. The hardened pride of the biggest Pittsburgh. Denver Broncos. Denver Broncos. Um, I will go, uh, Tarell Davis in that last Flex spot. Oh, TD coming down to Tiden. All right. And it'd be all too coincidental. The Kansas City Chief showed up. No, right. I hope so. Right. Cause I got two great picks for that. It's a hit. Oh, there we are. Yeah. You're multiple, multiple directions that he's not. How is Charles Davis not an option? Oh, it doesn't go back to Ellis. They got a bunch of running backs there that you could go Clinton Portis. Portis did have some Peyton Hillis. Oh, you could go, uh, you could go tight in here. Try this. It was. Peyton Ellis had his big year in Cleveland. He did. He did. Yeah. Made the magic. You can do. Yeah. Sure. And there's a sharp. Yeah. You can always go on. Who? A sharp. Yeah. I call them out. They're like my uncle. All right. Right. Of course. Um, I don't know. It's a solid. That's a solid. Very very good pick. Oh, Billy, you're tight in, baby. I mean, I think there's only three choices. We got Chad Lewis. All these guys all these guys. Oh, man. Ertsy, man. Ertsy. That's the right statistical choice. He still has the record for all time catches. He's a tight end. This is a great team. This is a solid fan. What is, I don't even know what we're looking at? What is it? Is that a good score? Yeah. Oh, no. What was the score? What was the score? 2,269.9. Oh, no. It's a ball. Oh, no. It is. Here's the thing. The flex. Those are the ones that probably lowered me a little bit. Look at how much Portis and Odell got you. That's a crazy amount. Easter. Yeah. Like they were more than Mike Evans was, which is crazy. It's crazy to even think about like that. So it's only off of their best season. That's what it looks like. It was off of one season. I was thinking about when also, you know, Doug Martin had a really great season at running back for in the for the bucks. Yeah. All right. That Martin had one for sure. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. He was a fucking running through shit. How did I go on freaking. Oh, my gosh. My call stop. That was my freaking. I love or maybe just my not might not have the fantasy points. But he's not going to give me many points in the game. But yeah, it'll be good. What are these for intimidation? Well, Paul doesn't need no ball. He does. Well done, baby. Thanks guys. And now we get it's our last segment before we get you out of here. It's called we got to ask brother and it's questions that we feel like we have to ask you and you can just either answer them or tell us fuck off. All right. As a brother and a chief fan, I love you. I'm sorry. But how are you feeling as a chief fan right now? Ah, I'm thinking about you, brother. Ah, no, you shot me the text. I appreciate you, man. I am so happy to be a chief fan. The joy and the memories and everything that the chiefs have given me with my family. with my kid. It's been an embarrassment of riches. And it's just right now. And it's like this, you know what? This wasn't the year. But that's okay. I know it's tough. I'm excited for whoever does it for their fan base. And they get to share the same kind of things that I got to share with my son. For all three of those victories. And even the losses, you know, it's the best. So I'm thinking about Patrick, I'm wishing him a speedy recovery and everything for the club. But I'm okay. And I'm excited. You know what? I'm excited for some of the players to get maybe a little bit of a summer vacation. I mean, my God. It's like you've played an extra season of football, compared to everyone else. And so I'm like, oh, good, you get a break and a chance to kind of rest up. And so yeah, I'm not too, too upset. I appreciate you having that positive mindset, the cheese kingdom, baby. We love you. And we're we're always working our tail off for you. Obviously this year, man, all those close one point or one score gains and stuff like that. Just didn't end our way, man. But we're still rocking a roll, man. It's a, I mean, it's a great team. And you know, you guys, it's it. Look, it's, it's tough. It's a tough thing to sustain. And sometimes something goes your way. Sometimes you score a touchdown and they call a fan of face mask. Crazy. Crazy. There's lots of, there's lots of things that happen. And it happens every team, not just, you know, but it's a, it's a game of inches. It's all right. You know, we still got three coming though that we're going to have some fun and make sure that we represent everybody that that shows up every week like you do. And yeah, we're going to, we're going to, we're going to finish this thing off the right way with some integrity, baby. You're the best one of your first jobs was as a bar mitzvah DJ. Yeah. Great question. Absolutely. And then, and then there was also, uh, here we come now singing Monet Monet. And then all the kids, there was this is a moment. They say, get laid, get fuck. Let's go. What? There was, there was that. There was also, uh, can't touch this. Oh, classic. And then you got a sprinkle on top, rounded out with a little, I'm too sexy for my shirt. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Set Fred. What about this for man? That is, that's what I was right there. That's a big goal. You're getting, you're getting this going around the playlist. We'll guarantee a mediocre party. Get laid. Get fuck. It's hilarious. Dude, you're in the upcoming adventure. Doomsday. Yeah. Which is fucking bad ass, man. We don't want to get you everything. I was going to say, but basically, can you tell us the plot? I mean, honestly, I'm not really sure what it is. All right. This is welcome to Hollywood. Maybe we're all just making it up as we go. Is it true your character? An anchor man named one of his testicles after the real-life owner of char barns in Kansas City. That's absolutely right. So my, my left testicle, not my right one. My left one named James Westfall, who also happened to be my roommate in college. And also my roommate. Yeah. And so my goal was that I would say, you know, name check them. And then he would just go see the movie and say what? The best now is like, yeah, he owns char bar as well as, you know, be your kitchen lay a few restaurants in Kansas City. Awesome ones. Right there in Westport, man. They're awesome restaurants. Awesome restaurants. And by the way, the burn ends at char bar, even though I like the wings too. Oh, great. Yeah. You're getting the whole wing. And so it's fun when he still, you know, has to do business with people. And then he introduces his name. And he's like, I'm James Westfall. And he said, sometimes there's like a, just a pause. And then time. Have you ever seen anchor man? And then he gets to say a half and I'm the actual ball. That's so fucking good. That's the most fun part of doing this is um embarrassing your friends by naming your nuts. That's why we do it. True friendship right there. Absolutely classic. You own a candy store called Samuel's sweet shop. Mm hmm. Give us your mount rush more candy from that store. Ooh. That's a great question. So my favorite candy is a seasonal candy that we have. Although they've kind of laid back in the last couple years and haven't made them, but it's a sour Santa. A sour sour. It's a sour Santa. It's like a cherry sour candy. But it's like the perfect candy. It's a gummy candy. But it's it's like the perfect consistency. Gummy candy can be, you know, there's a wide range of like, you know, it's the right firmness and all that. And it's the great cherry taste, but with not with a nice aftertaste, that was my favorite. So I go with the, I go with a sour Santa's. We do a thing called cloud hoppers, which is like a peanut butter chocolate pretzel mix. Oh right. Those are my two favorites, but we also do these like licorice laces and we'll do sour laces. And we do a great one. That's really nice. And then yeah, I'd say the laces are I put those three. That's my that's my that's my rush more. So are you more of a sour guy or a sweet guy or a sour? I like fuck everything. I have like the tastes of a nine-year-old. I like like little kid candy. And I love chocolate. And yeah, I like it all. Were you big warhead fan growing up? I like warheads. I'll keep those. Yeah, when it's really, really sour and put them on your tongue. See how long you can stand it. Make your eyes water. Yeah, all natural ingredients in warhead. People don't know that. This is a little bit of plutonium, hot tamales, miconix, sprees. I like to all that garbage bottle times. That's an old spoon. I like to find me up. Do you have a welcome to Hollywood moment, Paul? Yeah, I have a few. I don't know. Something that made you be like, you know what? I'm here. I'm in Hollywood. The very first week I got to I got to California. I live in New York now, but I went to an acting school. I went from KU to this acting school. And the first week I was there, I went, I was at like some restaurant and I saw an actor named Courtney Gaines, who was the red-headed guy and children of the corn, children for the corn. Wow. He's also in hard bodies. And his big scene in hard bodies was he could flip you off in 41 different languages. That's amazing. And I'm like, tell you got damn it. That's this Courtney Gaines over there. So there was like I knew I wasn't in Kansas anymore. There you go. Dorothy. There it is. And then I got I got an audition. One of my very first very first auditions to play kind of like this tough dude. And I hadn't really been on an audition before, but I heard this story that when Danny DeVito auditioned for the role of Louis Dupalma in taxi, that he went into the room with all the people and said, who wrote this? It was garbage. He threw it down. He jumped on the table. He didn't really audition. He just was the guy. And he was hilarious. They all laughed. And I remember hearing that going, that's how you get that's how you get a job. You don't want you to do you do it. And so I went, I went to this casting director's office and it's just me and this woman, nice woman behind her desk. And she goes, hello, I go, yeah, I felt so uncomfortable. I'm trying to be tough. And she said, so did you get the pages? Uh-huh. And you've been working on it. Yeah. Yeah. She said, okay, uh, well, stop whatever you want. And I had a cigarette. I didn't light it. I didn't smoke either, but I had it as like a prop. And then in the scene of where, and then I threw it on the ground. I stubbed it out into her carpet. And that was over. She said, okay, thank you. And I left and I was driving back. And I thought, I'm not going to get a job. And I had an agent, it's like my first agent. And I got back and she called me and she just said, what happened? And I told her and she just said, well, I guess you've got to learn. (laughing) Now it's like a welcome to Hollywood. This is not how you do it. - That is incredible. - I was driving back just picturing her who were your assistant. She was like pulling tobacco out of the carpet. - She's like, "What the fuck just happened? This guy just came in here and threw his sneaker at. He didn't read a single line." - Really? (laughing) - Ah, my face like I was, damn it, that was gold. - That was awesome.

(upbeat music) - It's really only their best season. And it's all like- - It's their best season ever with that team. - And with fantasy touchdowns, count for more. - Yes, yeah, yeah. - Typically, like yeah. - I mean, it all definitely counts, like- - All right, Jason, give it a whirl, give it a whirl. Give it a whirl, good roll. I'll hit restart for you. - Cheg wires? - We got it. - It's only one. It's only one. - And you gotta take 'em. - Blake Bortles. - Blake Bortles. Gosh, dang. I mean, I feel like you gotta take Fred Taylor, right? Like, I don't know who else- - I mean, you can. - Maurice Jones drew. Trying to think of who else with the Jaguars. For Net, ETN, Bigs B, QBs, you got Bortles, Bernal, Gerard, Lawrence, you- - I'm not taking any of the, I'm not taking any of the QBs. - Get any of this. - Okay. - Go to receivers. - You also can skip one team. - You can skip a team? I'm skipping the Jaguars, let's go. - Okay, skip a team. It was a very smart, Maurice Jones drew. - NGD? - Nuts as a flex. - Chargers. - LT. Does that count? Even though it's- - Do you want to do a flex or running back? - No, it will 100% counts. - Got, I'll go. - LT. - I don't know that it matters, right? - LT is one of the best picks. - LT is the greatest. - Yeah, he's the greatest. - You could have ever done it like a goal. - He's a great goal. (laughing) - Dolphins, can I go damn Marino? Or is that pre, it's too old? - Too old. - All right. - Tuts. - I don't know how you're even still thinking about this. - I'm thinking about it. - Jason doesn't know ball. - I don't know ball. (laughing) I mean, is it, let me see, keep going. - Who do you waitin' on Larry Zonka to show up? (laughing) - I'm tryin' to, I mean, feel like Ricky's better years were in New Orleans. - And the wrong. - I mean, if I'll go over Cever, I feel like, I feel like Tyreeke had an incredible year. I don't know this. - Yes. All right, fine, do it. - And absolutely, he had 2000 yards, I think. - Yeah, but I mean, did he have a lot of touchdowns? It's all about touchdowns. - Good pick. - There's 76, it's even more of a hit. - All right, Buffalo Bills. - There's one here. - This is the, you probably shouldn't do that. - I mean, do I go to the quarterback right away? (laughing) - There you go, Josh. Nice, I've caught a lot of touchdowns. - Josh is gonna a lot of touchdowns. - You're right, you said it best. You said it best. Take the, take the cue. - 'Cause it's either, it's either Josh or you wait for like Lamar or Jail, even Jailin' with how many rushing touchdowns he has from the push push and everything like that. We're like a cam Newton. - Mm-hmm. - Okay, cam. But, Buffalo. - Do you want to see your options at Flex here? - Yeah, let me see. I like the, that's kind of a cheat that you can see the names, I feel like. But I'm definitely gonna look at these, yeah. - Stefan Digs. He had a great year with him. Couple years. - Ooh, Shackle is Sean. I'll go Josh Allen just 'cause I don't want to get stuck with a bad quarterback. I feel like it's easier to fill out these. - Josh is a good one. - That's a good one. - 400? - Jets, salesboy. - Man, yeah. (laughing) - No, there's what, we know the answer. - I'm gonna go with Curtis Martin in the Flex. Well, I don't know who else would be. Huh? - Ramms. - Ramms. - There's a good one. I mean, I feel like it's gotta be Tori Holt. Is it Tori or Helen? Isaac Bruce Tori or the two in the greatest show on turf. - Get him begging you. - Oh wow, wow. Tori Holt, my gosh. - Tori Holt, sorry, there he is. You're begging me, would you? - There's one, there's one that should jump in. - Oh, Marshall Fall, Marshall Fall. - Yeah. - Bucks. - Dude, he's back. - Bucks. - Why do you see for a tight end? - Fuck. - Man. - Let me see these tight ends. - Big Bob, Brunk. - Yeah, Rob, he didn't have what he's, yeah. - He didn't have great ears there. - Cohen Winslow? - I just don't know. - You got it. - He's your one to find this next team. - Tight ends always. - That's a tough one to leave for the last. If I'm being honest. - Yeah, but I feel like it scores the least amount of points no matter what. - It does, yeah. There's only, there's like, - Yeah, it's like Tony Gonzalez Travis Kelsey where I'm going to Kowski at the page. Like, it's a very finite amount of ten years that are going to get you points. I will go, go down again, listen to these guys. I mean, it's gotta be, I'll go on my heavens. - Not bad. - Yeah. - Bangles. - Fuck my life. Not good. - I for it. - You beat Paul. - New high score, here you go. - New high score. - New high score. - First time playing.
