I'm going to put as many marshmallows as I can in Bobby Lee's mouth. If you were in prison, dude, easy access. I am thoroughly aroused. Is this your son? Oh, my God. How did I get here? I'm so thrilled that I'm only a lesbian. Oh, wow. Yeah. Stop hitting on my mom. Our next game. Time to get handsy. Buzz in before he does because it's a game show. I nailed it! January 6th! 9/11!

Like vampires, the ginger gene is a curse. Gingers are beautiful. You owe me $5 for the whiskey and $75 for the horse. Gingers are hell no. This whiskey is excellent. Ginger. I like gingers. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people on earth. I say that for all my guests, but once again today, it's Tony Hale. For today, I'm your favorite person on earth. Yeah, today. Cheers. Cheers. I'm drinking gin, which is very rare for me. I'm a whiskey guy. But for you. Your publicist called and said. I do like gin a lot. He doesn't drink anything but gin and have a full bottle ready for him. Sounds like such a douchebag. That's what they said. Gin and pink and black M&M's. I do. We have the pink and black M&M's out there. And we will bring them in. Tony, thank you for coming. I can't do whiskey. For some reason, it doesn't work with the stomach. Are you British? What's your ancestry? I think I'm a bit of a mutt. I did a 23andMe a long time ago, and it was just a plethora of different things. You don't have one thing that dominated? No. You seem like you might have been a little Mayflower-y. Hale? What's Hale? Oh, Hale is a stage name. Because my grandfather was an opera singer. His original name was Johnston, and he didn't think that was work, so he changed it to Hale. Okay, let me. Johnston? That's off the boat. The Johnstons have come by. Oh, hello, Johnstons. That's true. So you came from something good. Something classy. You know, I always wanted to do one of those where you trace, you know, you go on the show and you trace something awful. Yeah, and they find out something terrible. They're like, "You're a family-owned slave." You're like, "You know what? Let's move on to the next. " And then I just live with codependent guilt and false guilt for the rest of my life. True. But I don't know. A couple of my friends have done it, and it really wakes you up to some stuff. I don't want to know. I know enough that my grandparents are. Just Scottish all around. Irish, Irish, Irish, and then my dad's side, Italian, Italian. So I don't think I'd find much. Is your whole family redheads? No, I'm the only one. He knows my entire family. Have you guys known each other for a long time? No, he's become kind of a fixture of our family. He was at my sister's wedding a week ago. Wow. And you weren't there? No, he subbed for me. Yeah, tag team. No, I think my grandmother had red hair, and my mom is one of ten kids, and one of them has auburn hair. That's why I was the most loved. The grandkids hated me. Really? Because my grandmother was like, "I'm the golden child." You always hear the red-headed stepchild. I am, too. I have a stepdad. But then it's the opposite. They're not loved, but you were loved. Not by my stepdad, so that actually was on course. Oh, let's get into it. No, he knows him. He is the best. You know what? I was loved. Oh, that's good. You have a good foundation. Well, some. But like any kid, I'm an '80s baby. All of my friends' parents are divorced. Uh-huh. You're late '70s? Early '70s. God bless you. Early '70s, yeah. Really? I thought we were closer in age. Fifty-five. Well, you look great. Thank you. And for people at home, Tony stripped before the show. We do that at most guests, have to get naked in the waiting room. I did. Voluntarily. You did. Yeah, he was like, "Check it out." I walked in and I said, "Guys, I want to take my clothes off." You're like, "That's so weird. I do that with all the guests." That's what we do. Yeah, well, thank you. Your parents were together? My parents have been together. Yeah, they've been together. That's awesome. Gosh. Well, they're '87, both of them. Still alive. And I don't really know how many years. Still alive. This screams Mayflower material. See, these are good people. This isn't trash. Everyone's dead that I know. I think everyone's dead and divorced. But that's what Irish. Irish die young. Do they? Well, I mean, they have terrible health. And they drink a lot. They drink a lot. They drink a lot. They drink a lot. They drink a lot. You know, Irish people very much. Was the wedding a big drinking wedding? Yeah. Was the wedding a big drinking? My sisters? Yeah. My mom and my dad both drank. My sister. And she married a kid whose mom and dad are from Ireland. Moved here in the '80s or '90s. And they drink a lot, I guess. Oh, God, yeah. My brother-in-law is on the Upper West Side. There's a bar called the Dublin House. Kind of sad that I even had to ask that. That means that there are people that I have known that I just forgot. Yeah, but that happens. It happens a little too much. 'Cause I grew up in. You were asking me something. No, I was saying there's a place called the Dublin House on the Upper West Side. You know the Beacon? You know where the Beacon is? Yeah. It's five blocks away from there. It's got a big neon harp. It's on 79th and Broadway. It's on 79th. Yeah. That sounds familiar. That's my new brother-in-law's family's bar. Oh, wow. So can you imagine we like to. Like, I played a show at the Beacon, and they were all like, "You're gonna come over to the bar, are ya?" And I was like, "I think we'll bring some people." They're actually. They're from Ireland. Oh, yeah. And they're like, "You come to the bar, will ya?" Well, sometimes his dad speaks, and I'm like, "What did he say?" But I play the game where I go, "Yeah, yeah, yeah." And then he'll go, "For what?" And I'll go, "Ah, fuck." And then I'll have to admit, I'll go, "I didn't hear what you said." So you have to try. I worked with. Do you know who Saoirse Monica Jackson is? Or Ronan. I don't know the other one. Saoirse Monica. I did a movie. The movie. I did a show called The Decameron, and she's from Derry. Oh, wow. And I. For a while, it was like, I had to really pay attention, and then once I got it, I got it. And my God, she made me laugh. They're so funny. She is so, so. Just such quick one-liners. Their sensibilities are. They have to laugh, 'cause it's quite sad if you go up there. Like, you don't have. You really don't have much choice but to have a drink, have a laugh, and then. Like, did you see The Banshees of Enshiren? I mean, it's. Honestly, I loved it, but my God, the whole thing is so sad. And then you hear the actors talk about it, and they're like, "Yeah, it's a lot of that's. A lot of that's based on reality." Can you, though, when you watch that kind of stuff. I am interested in this. Can you kind of compartmentalize it and just kind of go on with your day? It doesn't really affect you? Yeah. I think. I think because there's. I don't know. Maybe this is. I have the. I like the beauty underneath all the sadness, 'cause I just see that first. It's great. I just can't shake it. It's like, I keep thinking about it. - It ruins your day. - Yeah, my wife's like, "You're an actor. "What is wrong with you? something and realize it but it's like there's something about i go yeah that might not be happening but something like that has happened to someone and i feel like i'm watching it happen in front of me see that so be if it's well acted like with those two guys yeah it's so good and so powerful but i know there's some something so like like real underneath it yeah but it escaped it takes me to that world where if it's like a reality show where people are being fucked up to each other i'm like this is way more gross like because this is also manipulated by producers and it's packaged and pushed and i'm like this is sad that makes me more sad when i see reality type of stuff get gross and weird and publicized i'm like we're actually puppets i get angry at that stuff you do i get angry because i'm like hey just fyi this is your legacy this is like your your children and their children are going to be watching this as a representation of you why are you doing this i know you know why because it's i get it maybe i get it when someone goes on thinking maybe have they think oh it might be this and then they wake up and go oh it wasn't so i'm going to walk away yeah someone's like no i'm going to sign up again yeah yeah they do for like six more years yeah that's what i just don't understand well i think what i've learned through just being like near it with people you get to understand they're so good these producers at convincing the talent that it's that's all show and it's just part of the gig and i think they've kind of like mind fucked people into thinking that i'm not a producer i'm not a producer i'm not a producer yeah you're going to get public hate and all that itself but it's all fake because you know you're not that weird you're an actor i think they tell them they're acting and they just think like i'm playing a part but you're like you're the part it's you you're the part and your issues are obviously for everybody to see and there is something to be said about i do there's a part of that i appreciate honesty walking through something but when you can see it really affecting your life yeah and your family maybe that's a time to step away you know maybe well i don't know i mean you've gotten uh you've gotten so much amazing work that you don't know how it feels to be on the other side of not getting good work so how about that oh my god how about that it is you know it's a hustle it's a constant it's a constant but you okay but you have one question before you keep going have you ever done an irish part have i ever done an have you ever played an irish character no i haven't oh do what i love to have you gone out for one no i don't really go out in general yeah i live here it's great no i want my face everywhere too you know what happens is uh i've done a handful of stuff i have a great time and then other stuff comes down the pipeline and i don't know i'm like i don't know i bet you'd be great i would love to yeah so did you hear that hollywood tony hill thing hollywood kids we gotta get that kid that whiskey red hair red hair red hair we gotta get that kid in here no i always used to joke i joked on this show but like um they never they never think of the redhead first no screenwriter is like and the handsome redhead walks into the room had to add handsome in there didn't you wow yeah good self no i'm saying they don't write i usually do a masculine let's get the emasculated tony hill no i'm saying they always write the ugly redhead freak oh i'm saying they never say like sure sure hey i'm not saying you're not handsome you're very handsome thank you no but they never do that so every role that's for a redhead unless it was for me is always like freak weirdo oh uh yeah yeah and then they're giving them most of my even come close on to um what's the kid from my tanya what's wrong with my brain oh paul walter hauser because he's like auburnish and he's sober and i'm an alcoholic so i just feel like these two i'm really we're i love that right when you said that i was like uh-huh before we before we get too deep because i have a lot of things to ask you to talk to you about this is very nice to be here by the way thank you i'm so happy to have you i'm gonna i'm gonna kiss your ass a little bit in a second but i'm gonna try to like slot it in so it doesn't get too deep and it doesn't feel disingenuous um because it's real because we talked before the show i was like i gotta be careful about people i actually really like telling them to because we have a lot of people on the show that i hate he knows most people i would say high majority of the people that come on the show i can't wait for them you can always see when a talk show host doesn't necessarily like yeah well that's why i love letterman he was so great at kind of like shoving it down their throat i also felt bad for those that i loved it that was my favorite it's because leno never did that leno was very like complimentary and kind of played the game letterman was very obvious about who he didn't see this is this is a real gift i mean you have a gift of you can handle that like i if i i can't watch that stuff like for instance did you did you have a hard time watching uh uh what's the sasha baron cohen movie borat borat oh loved it okay it's fantastic i was out of my skin oh it's fantastic i i was lasted five minutes and i was like did you laugh he's acting he's a run for the hills all he was doing was exposing who people really are and yeah here's the thing yes and but at the same time they didn't know they were gonna be on a movie screen and i don't know there's something about the frat kids that sued him yeah i mean granted yes yes it's who you really are i guess it's almost absolutely you know but i don't know the whole just anytime i anytime i know someone is doing a bit it's that uh pranked kind of stuff but anybody i know and they don't i'm like i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i'm easy on it is because there's cameras in front of their face now when it's hidden cameras then you're being super deceptive but if there's a camera in your face and there's a guy who's playing a character was there a camera in their face on borat yeah they were yeah because they were pretending they were filming a documentary documentary the cameras are exposed so if there's a camera that's how they got a design release the first thought you would think would be like i better watch what i say on a camera but they got so comfortable with him and his racism that they were like you know what i don't like browns either and it was like it was like just being honest yeah it was tough but i get i get you not liking that yeah yeah but that's why you that's why you're sticking to voiceover easy plug here toy story five just stick to animation i mean it's the best job in the world you know i'm so that's so cool i gotta be honest though i it wasn't until i heard my voice in the trailer that i thought the whole time i was like they're gonna switch me out you thought a recast was coming 100 why well just insecurity and uh i i'm i'm such a pixar fan yeah and i think they have such layers to their work totally that i just like you oh they're this is crazy this is not gonna happen and because they they initially brought me in because they said we're thinking about you for a character and they said spork and i was like oh okay let me get let me get my heads around that and then they added buster's voice or gary's voice to it to see what it was like and we had this whole kind of play time about finding his voice but then after it you're like yeah they're gonna i'm sure they're gonna grab jack black you know or something they do often grab jack black but it's like just thinking that's and then when i heard my voice which is maybe two months before it was released i was like oh my god i'm so i was like oh they kept me that's awesome yeah well you were do you have imposter syndrome let me think imposter syndrome like i would say with my voice because i never i was always insecure about my voice and because i had this voice teacher tell me tony you don't have anyways by the way i said this earlier you don't have any resonance you don't have any resonance you didn't say that before we started rolling before we started i said he's got bigger resonance you might want to increase my mic and i had always just had this insecurity and i was like oh my god he's got bigger resonance you might want to increase my mic and i had always just had this insecurity and then through doing a lot of voiceover and just more work i've gotten more confident but i think that's that's always been a bit of a that's gross anxiety that teacher was wrong he was but it's amazing words man like words why didn't they stick with us like that of all the praise and the great things you took something a teacher told you one time and you were like you don't have any resonance yeah and he was he's in an acting school that i never ever mentioned then i went there for two years i mentioned this i mentioned this place called the barrel group which i loved and they like made play out of it and i was like oh my god i'm gonna do this acting rather than like work like nice work you know it's like okay settle down but like this guy was just an ego head and he just really messed with me was it a case of those who can't or was he successful at any point i think it was not a case of those who can't i think it was a case of got a lot of power out of very fragile artists oh god and feeling kind of empowered by how much these artists worshipped him yeah and needed the and needed and needed his approval and did you like it and he kind of said yeah i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know i don't know sat on his throne and felt it god i don't like that i'm we're not going to mention hey my editor joe joe put up the name of the of the school right here and so on seriously well don't don't do it don't do it no but uh but the voice thing i i know what you're thinking we did um bobby and i did bobby lee and i did a movie that's on netflix now called goat that's about like oh yeah congrats man thank you it was cool but the whole basketball yeah yeah steph curry company produced it about like a you know young yeah yeah young kid making it to the league yeah but the whole time bobby every recording session um which he wouldn't do we couldn't do without each other because we're super insecure so we're like we need to be with each other i love your friendship by the way well we're it's we do need each other i think we work well together and we're both announcers so i was like we should be in the same room they're like you don't have to i was like we'd prefer it and they're like it's a scheduling nightmare i was like i don't care it's way more fun it was way more fun sure sure sure and they got so but the whole time bobby kept stopping like he'd go out for a cigarette break he'd be like come can you come outside we go outside and he'd be like i don't i think they're they're gonna fucking they're gonna can us and i was like you know why though is it bad he's like it's probably i think it's bad because you just look in the booth and they'd be like that's the thing one more that that's the thing what people don't Well, maybe they do realize. You're in a room where there's a glass partition. You have your headphones. You do your bet. Everything then goes silent. And then you just see people's mouths moving. Oh, my God. It's so anxiety-inducing. About you. And then they're always looking around. And they're looking at each other going, I don't know. And then one guy in the back goes. And then they push a button and go, hey, great job, Tony. And then they let go of it and go, I don't know. It creates it. When there's seven executives in a room, and then they chat, and then one guy goes. Guys, great stuff. And you're like, shit, it's not great. That means they just said, not great. Be nice. Tell them to do it again. We're also performers. We're analyzing every behavior you're giving. Yeah, you're staring at them. I am just analyzing everything that's going on. Hey, it drives me nuts. However, what I loved about Pixar is everybody was in the same room. There was no division. Whoa. So not the actors. We were all separate. But the director and the script, everybody's in the same room. And it's super collaborative. And there's no division. Wow. Yeah. But the rumor is. And you told me this before the show. Tom Hanks didn't even do it. It's all AI. So it's. I disagree. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But I did find out his brother does a lot of his. Oh, this is in a tier? Other stuff. Yeah. His brother does do. I think it does like toys and stuff. That's so cool. I love that I'm the one drinking here. I'm going to drink. I'll chug this whole thing if you let me. Okay, hold on. Before we go. Because I just want to plug some of the new stuff that you have. Because it is very cool. You also have. Oh, my God. Why can't I say her name? Aaliyah. No. Aaliyah. Aaliyah. Sorry. Shawkat. Shawkat. Yeah. Now I had a brain fart. Aaliyah. And I think about Aaliyah, the singer. That's why. Rest in peace. Rest in peace. R.I.P. Your movie comes out. With Aaliyah. Oh, that's so funny. Are you doing a movie with them as well? No, I am. That's so funny. Because I. Is it Summer Girls? It's Wrong Girls. Wrong Girls. We did this movie together called Being in the Ricardos. And when you said that, I had a moment where I was like, oh, Andrew, that's way past. No, no, no, no. No, see, you have a new one. But you're right. You have a new one. There's one coming up in August with her. And a movie with Brett Goldstein. Yeah, called Office Romance. That's cool. He's a really cool guy. Yeah, he's funny. Do you know you met him? He's funny. Yeah, very, very funny. Do you know I saw you at this Netflix party. At Sarandos' house? Yes. Oh, yeah. Two weeks ago. I saw you and I saw Bobby. Yeah. And it was so hot out there. And I was like, it was so lovely. It was a really nice party that they threw. And I had this moment of like, oh, I should say, I like them. I should say hi to them. And then I was like, no, I'll just stay where I am. We did the same thing. We literally said the same thing. He comes up to me. He's like, do you think I should say anything to David Letterman? And I was like, no. Don't. Leave him alone. That's insane. What would you say? Hey, I love you. And he'll go, sure. Yeah, awesome. And then pat you on your little head. And you'll come back here. I was like, leave everybody alone. Just get out of here. I also. He also got it. Did Bobby get a haircut? Yeah. Well, he keeps changing his style. Because at first, I had not seen him in a long time. And I saw him and I was like, is that Bobby? He lost a lot of weight, too. I think he lost 35 pounds. Oh, maybe that's it. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. GLPs, baby. They're working his magic. I've just talked to a friend the other day who lost a lot of weight without GLPs. And he's like, I'm really mad. Yeah. He goes, I feel like the people who got their school loans taken care of. He's like, I'm the guy that's still. I paid. He's like, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why did I pay? I could have waited? Yeah. There's habits, though, that are being created in him that's probably. That's good for a long term. Yes. Yes. Yeah. He's doing great. But yes. We didn't say hi to anybody. But I did prank him afterwards. He left early. I told him, you got to be the first out. Don't wait. Just leave before anybody. And then he called me on the way home. Did I tell this story? You look a little bad. I called him on the way home. And I said, he's like, what's going on? I was like, dude, you should not have left. He's like, why? I'm like, I'm inside of Sarandos' master suite. He has a theater up here. And it's me, Letterman, Seinfeld, Chappelle. And I'm naming everybody. Like all the famous comics that he loves. And I'm like, he's going to show us. Old tapes, like old school, like stand-up tapes that he's got from his vault. And he was like, fuck, are you serious? I go, dude, I got to go. I'll call you back. And I hang up. And then I called Louis. I called Louis C.K. I called him and our friend Greg Fitzsimmons. And I called them, told them. And they were cracking up. And they were like, are you going to tell him the truth? I was like, I don't know. Because he was going to turn around and come back. I was like, maybe I should make him come all the way back. So mean. I told the truth. I was like, don't come back. I'm just kidding. You also said that Ted asked you, where's Bobby? Oh, yeah. Did he? And I was like, I'm covering for you. I said you were downstairs by the bar getting food. That's so great. I had to leave before that picture. They did a big picture or something like that. And I am beautifully in the far corner. As far away, Cherry was like, get in there. I saw there was a lot of balloons. Were there balloons in there or something? No. See, this is my, who said this? My mom was like, what, what, that balloon? There were, like, McDonald's Playplace balls. Remember those? Oh, yes, yes, yes. And the photographer was like, throw them at me. And everybody threw them. And then half of the people's faces got blocked. Like, half of the people. Half of the people. Half of the people. Half of the people's heads are, like, behind a ball. Also, so many comics, they're thinking in response to that. Of like, you want us to do what? I know. It made me sad. I was like, just a regular photo. Yeah. But that's the one they wanted.

I do need to tell you something. Yeah. We got your test results back. Will you read them off? No. I want to tell you that my favorite line in the history of Arrested. I know we're going back, but. No, please. I'm glad you're going back because I forget. We both share it. Oddly enough, because we joke about it all the time, is the, like, this slow, incessant drumming and Bateman giving that, like, great, like, heartfelt, heavy-handed speech and then him cutting it by going, Buster, you can't do that outside, buddy. But your response made me laugh so far. You say, Mom says it's too windy on the balcony. It's true. It was so funny to me. I rewound it, like, ten times. Because you think the funniest beat is going to be that reveal. Yeah. But the funniest to me is you saying it's too windy outside. Also, you. It's so funny. Also, you can't drum in the wind? Yeah. No, no. But you can't. But you're right. Buster was right. You cannot drum in the wind. I can't hear my own drumming. His logic was actually perfect. Mom says it's too windy. You know what's crazy, dude, that you said that? I'm not kidding. Maybe last week. So my wife and I, we just moved to Alabama. Did you really? Yeah, we just. A year ago, we moved to Alabama because we were. We needed to be closer to her family. And then my family's in Georgia for various reasons. And we bought this house. And no lie, this is crazy, this even came out. In our house, a bird got caught in the house. And I have a broom. And I'm trying to swat. And it looks exactly like the scene where it's like a bird landed on my pillow. Because I come in with a broom. And I'm trying to get this bird out. And I'm like. - What the hell has happened? - That's so cool. right out of that scene and then you killed it though unfortunately i killed this one yes we had a we had a uh hummingbird uh stuck at crisis old an old house he was staying at and it was in like the the um kitchen yeah and we were panicking because it couldn't get out i was like it's gonna die if we don't try to guide it out and every time we try to guide it out it'd come right back in the kitchen so finally someone was like i have it i looked it up we got um uh uh water and then put um sugar or something something sweet inside of it and then put the tupperware up to it so it went down to go get it and then nick took the ball it's in there and then threw it as hard as he could outside and i was like it worked but i thought that could have killed the bird that it could have hit something for sure like luckily it went right out the door but i was like what if you missed he's like missing wasn't an option i guess that line by the way i just i just want to tell you that oh that's nice to say and i i got to do the newer season or whatever i did one little episode yeah i did a scene with bateman oh fun oh was it in a car was it in the car rental it was uh yeah the stairs yes yes i'm used to a car with stairs yeah uh it was a great i mean for me it was amazing because i was such a fan of the show not of jason i hate jason jason's a loathe jason yeah but no but i was such a fan that i was like this is incredible to even remotely touch it oh same i mean i i to this mitch was at that party by the way did you know that mitch mitch hurwitz was at that party yeah i saw him and i was so happy to see him because i hadn't seen him in a while i didn't know much this is also a thing about the party i talked to bobby people were there that we knew said they were going didn't see them there like i was like there's a lot of people there's a lot of people there but um so i was i was and continue to be such a fan of the show but that was my first job and i was with an amazing cast amazing writing and i was like what is because it was so layered at the time comedy was you didn't have to think about comedy that much it was like one two punch you know it was a very used and he there were so many jokes that to this day there's there's stuff i have not gotten like if i'm completely honest when you said that about the drums i've forgotten about the balcony and the wind yes it's the best line but it's like and this happened to me also where somebody that joke where the doctor comes out and says you know he's he lost his arm and but he'll be and i i was at a podcast and i said well one of my favorite jokes is when the doctor comes out he says he'll be okay and somebody the audience goes no no no he said he'll be all right because he'll just have a right arm and it was 15 years after doing that joke that i got the joke really yeah that's great i just like so many layers that i'm to this day i'm just so grateful i was even a part of that it was incredible i mean honestly it was like a show that i always kind of gauged comedy fans when i talked to them about that show i'm like do you do you like arrested and people like i don't know it's a yeah i don't i think i've seen it i'm always like i don't like you and you're not good and you're not going to be a good comedian i always felt like because if you didn't understand the fun of that show sure sure i was like man you're that's a my parents never got it my parents to this day the only parents for sure never got yeah no the only episode they liked was when martin short was on and they're like now he's funny yeah that's he's fine i love when mom and dad do that well my dad grew up my dad likes andy griffith to me to my dad is like the pinnacle of television sure like he's like that's a he's like no role that you or any of your friends have done are half as funny as you or any of your friends funny as barney fife and i'm like okay well i mean god bless you and he's right whatever yeah whatever he's right yeah yeah it does it it is hard some people that i don't know if that's right but i i whatever i'm gonna let him have it i'm gonna let he's gonna call and be like i heard that episode with tony what was that what were you throwing me under the bus but he does do that but he but i think if you didn't get that show like i showed it my wife like probably knows more about the show than i do which is insane and i told her you know that i was coming here to do the one of the first lines in the pilot and she always jokes around look what the gays have done to me michael you can't just tease that out that's the it's like oh my god such a phenomenal way in that you're like well this is gonna be a and her timing man oh my god walter's timing is so solid yeah it's impeccable it really is and then you went on to do a real junker called veep which i do think is one of the i mean what a what a tank show that was that thing was not a good nightmare could not get out of there fast enough yeah it was bad um i because the what was her name julia she was i just call her jlb she worked no she is uh i mean it's always such because you've worked with really fun amazing people it's always a gift when they're also really nice yeah you're lucky yeah it's awesome and julia just came in and was like it's a team this is a team sport everybody has everybody's ideas is valuable and i really miss that i miss the i miss the friendships you know you're living life together and i miss that you don't think you'll do a like a long series like that oh man i would love to you do oh you mean would i do a long series oh i thought you meant with veep because i would love for the there's a period of time where the last episode where they kind of jump ahead and i would love to find out a little bit of what happened in between because i went to jail and then she'd all this kind of stuff but i'm like oh because i just love those people so much yeah no i well i'm saying you there's no chance of them doing that again you think i mean i don't want to say no because i haven't heard anything but i just i'm dreaming of it gotta be so i auditioned for the show 75 times for veep yeah i did i did i did a lot 75 no i'm being hyperbolic but i do think it was probably like 10 times oh and julie was in one what was the character do you mind saying oh my god it was a bunch of different stuff but one of them was they gave me like uh it was allison jones and they were like um julie was in there to improv with me and it was um they gave you the goal but they didn't want to fill anything else in similar to like how larry did curb it was like yeah you have to let her know you're an intern and you have to let her know that like something really bad is going on somewhere else like something happened yeah and i had said that there was a a mainline break yeah upstairs and and there was human waste coming through her office yeah and she it was awesome she left she did and i was and i literally called my wife on the way home i was like i got it there's no way i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this no way i didn't get it two days later i didn't get it i didn't get it that happened to me on that movie uh tooth fairy tooth fairy years ago it was with um the rock with the rock oh yeah oh yeah yeah i auditioned for um uh steven merchant's part uh and i was in the room and they all were clapping and i think the director even said something like i mean whatever he says i'm like when i book you or something that really led to that when we when you start shooting this yeah and i was immediately on the phone with my wife and i was like so we had just had our baby i was like we gotta get daycare in vancouver like we gotta do this obviously and steven merchant obviously is amazing but i was like come on like that roller coaster is exhausting is there anything that you uh missed out on that like really hurt that you really really wanted i mean because it's always you or zach efron that's who it is they either cast him or you for every role yeah man please especially with my shirt off um i uh you know it's if if i'm honest and you might feel this way too they also run together because every time you go out for something if you really want it you know you put yourself into it and you can't help but think how great it would be yeah and then this is what's interesting about our business is we are our job and i'm sure you've heard this our job is to have our emotions on our sleeve because we have to have access to them and we have to bring authenticity to it so if if i'm having to be need to be vulnerable and i want it to be authentic i gotta go there vulnerability however when it comes to rejection and be like hey let it go yeah yeah exactly let it go that doesn't it doesn't work like that right you know you can't just switch it so i it's hard every time it's hard it is hard i do think i i don't try to take it with me and being a stand-up helps because we just used to like rejection and denial and now by the way also i think that is that's a that you you've exercised a muscle that is a real gift to this business it also is it's also somewhat of a detriment because you become so hardened that even the wins sometimes you're not as happy about which i do think is tough a lot of stand-ups do this thing where even when you win big like louis told a great story about he he was like it sucks that it's hard to know when you're in it as a stand-up because of so much no no bet you know heaviness he was like i was going to the garden to watch i want to it was billy joel i think it was a run of billy joel but he goes afterwards only then did it hit me and someone i think had said to him like do you know like of all the people inside of this room the only other person that's been on that stage besides billy joel is you in this room and he was like it was so powerful it like got to me that it was like how did i not feel that before like i played he's like i played baddest in square garden and your brain checks yeah yeah it's kind of like some of the venues we've done bad friends shows on there's like pictures of orson welles doing like othello yeah bobby's just like getting naked yeah and bobby's showing his butthole and othello was performing yeah no we did like the rhyming you know the historic rhyming you know they put you in a dressing room they're like yeah they're like this is this is this was johnny johnny's room or june's room or whatever and you're like really we're about to go show his pubes in front of all these people on the same stage i will say though there is it's hard not because there is a protective layer yeah of it's all it's all the wounded child in us that just doesn't want to be hurt and doesn't want someone to make we go like i'm gonna i'm gonna make fun of myself before you make fun of me i'll get me before you i'll get you yeah so it's all that but It's hard to get past that. But as a kid, were you outgoing or were you kind of in? I was, so I grew up in the South. Yeah. And for a kid that doesn't play sports, it's not a pretty picture. Yeah. So my parents were like, what are we going to do with this kid? What's wrong with your boy, Tony? He don't want to do nothing? He won't throw a ball or nothing? Oh, you want to dance? You want to dance? Go dance. But let me get you a drink. But they found this theater by the grace of God called Young Actors Theater and then signed me up for it. And I kind of was a place, I was like, oh, I can be crazy and it's encouraged. But it was, you know, you're called every name in the book. We know the name. We know the word. We'll title it the episode, by the way. That'll be what it's called. Because they don't, back then, I think it's changed. Back then, they don't know how to frame it. You know, it's like, you're not into sports, you're sensitive, you're creative. Oh, I know what you are. I know what you are. We know what Tony is. Yeah. No, we like him just fine. We just don't want him over late night. I'm not talking to him. Yeah, I don't want to look him in the eye. Oh, yeah. But it's like, that's the category. So it wasn't an easy time. Now, if it's set, it's like. No, it's not. No, now everything is so. Well, the internet in that, right, has helped people get, you know, it's like globalized the states where you're like, everything is everywhere and everyone knows everything now. I mean, there's more exposure. So people in a small town now feel more comfortable being like, I think I want to try theater. Whereas there was a time when you were like, I think I like theater stuff. And people are like, what the fuck? Are you? You're like, what are you talking about? Yeah. It's easier to find a community. It's way easier. Yeah. And there's more, there's more like, bigger. Okay. And I'm not generalizing. My dad's from the South. But now in the South, many metropolitan areas now are so progressive with their culture. Yes. That you're receiving so much more than you ever did before. You know, my dad's from North Carolina. Okay. And different world growing up in the, he was in the Appalachian. I mean, he was way up there. That's a different world. It is. But now they have so much more access. Like when we went to like, you know, like Raleigh, Durham. You go to those places, like they're so culturally artistic and free and your brain goes to North Carolina, but then you see it and you're like, oh no, this is not, this isn't. Because we live in Birmingham now and it's just like Raleigh. I mean, it's culturally, it's just. It is. A widespread. And it's so, the restaurants, I mean, everything is so. It's cool. It really, really is cool. But it's like, that's taken time. Yeah. A long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think, do you think this is, do you think this is it for, you'll stay there? Or do you think you're going to. Oh, I do. Yeah. I do think we'll stay there. Yeah. Because I mean, I've been. I mean, probably, I mean, you travel so much. Yeah. And our business, we travel so much. But for 30, between New York and LA, we've been in there for over 30 years. And so I think both of us were on the same page. Once our daughter graduated high school, we were both on the same page. So it was like, yeah, let's, we need to be a little closer to family. And so I'll travel for work. She graduates high school. Did she go to college or she started the workforce? No, she went to, she's at college and she loves it. She's in a sorority and, you know, she's just. You were in a fraternity. I was in a fraternity. Same as my dad. Sigma Chi. You're a Sigma Chi guy. Yeah. You know how much I got rattled because my father, I didn't join a fraternity. He's like, what's your problem, man? I'm like. Wait, where did you go to school? I went to Harvard of the West. I went to Arizona State. Sorry. By the way, same. I went to Samford. People think it's Stanford. And I'm like, no, it's Sam, not Stan. Let them think what they want to. I went to Columbia College, Chicago. Yeah. Not Columbia, New York. Columbia College. We all three went to the other one. Yeah, exactly. And you can see the disappointment in the face. I'm honest about it. Whenever somebody's like, where'd you go to college? I'm like, brother, I barely went to school. I went to a school. Well, there's t-shirts at Samford that say Sam, not Stan. It's great. They own it. You have to. It's a great school. Yeah, you have to. No, I just wanted to get to the West Coast. That's why I really badly, and I had a, as the story goes, my father went to Tennessee, so did my little sister. My dad was like, you got to go. Yeah, yeah. His best friend's son and I became friends. They went to Tennessee together. We used to go to see football games. He says, what? One day, Andrew, I'm going out to Arizona. You should come with. And I was like, what's in Arizona? He's like, don't you want to do California? I said, I can't afford California, man. He's like, it's right there. He's like, my cousin goes to ASU. And I was like, really? He goes, let's go see it. So I fly out with them. We have the greatest two days I've ever had in my life. I ended up doing mushrooms on the stoop of the dorm I would eventually be in, which was very surreal. Whoa. With these people that were hanging out, listening to music outside. And I was like, I got to go to school here. Now, it might have been the mushrooms, but. That is where you went. That's not where you went. I did go to Arizona State. I ended up going. So you went all the way through. Yeah. And I know that's a surprise. Many of my friends did not. No, it's not a surprise. What did you. I thought you said that you did it. What did you study? Journalism and the minor in English. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. Same. Journalism, mass communications. You know what, dude? We're the same guy. And I'll tell you, this is what people. Because they'd be like, oh, well. I'm like, I use it every day. Yeah. Because if I'm probably with your material, if I'm editing something, I'm constantly like, what's the joke? Cut the fat, cut the fat, cut the fat. And that's all you did in journalism. It's like, where's the point? Where's the story? Get to the point. Get to the point. I also think it helped me because I finally learned. I finally took classes that like theory and practice and media production. Or like I took classes that I was like, oh, this is cool. I found the interesting nooks of how to make a thing versus like, I want to make things. And someone's like, okay. But I don't know how. But I just wanted to learn about that. So finally in school, I paid attention because I was like, this is fun. High school for me was real hard. Celebrate. Celebrating 125 years with new moments still add. Now at Lowe's.

This is awful. Yeah. I was like, can I just go goof off and do drugs? Did you also with your, I mean, it's such a gift because with your jokes, which you're a very funny man. Thank you. It's that thing of like, this is, we're circling around it. What's the joke? Yeah, get inside. Just go right to the. Did you do? When did you, I know I'm making this about you, but when did you officially start doing standup? I was 22. I moved here, yeah, 06, 05, 06. My, the girl I was dating at the time threw a knife at me and I said, you know, I think I'm going to move to LA. I think I literally, we, we, we actually came here to look at an apartment together and we drove back to Arizona and I had all of this anxiety. I was like, sure, I shouldn't move you here. I was like, this is, we're kids and I'm going to fail. So I was like, I don't want to move. I don't want to ruin your life. And she was like, I want to go out there. I said, I don't, I don't think you do. Like, I think you, she was being sweet. She loved me. She was like, I want to go with you. And one night she had a couple of drinks. We got into an argument and she threw a knife at me. I was like, I'm going to move tomorrow by myself. There's so many things in the house to throw. That's a very specific thing. I was like, I think I got to go. I think I'm going to go to, so I moved here at 22 and I've been here. I've been here ever since. Man, just, do you find that, okay, if somebody said, Andrew, I want you to speak at this conference on, I don't know, vulnerability in comedy or something like that. Would you, is that, does that make you nervous? Because it's, or does it not make you nervous? Because like, obviously if somebody says, I want you to do a set, you're so used to that. But if somebody wants you to speak on a topic, would that make you nervous? Yeah, harder, much harder to do. Not nervous, but I'd be much more, it'd be much more of a challenge of me because I want to present it in a way where you, you want to hit all the beats of like, I want it to be funny. I want it to be honest and also have, have humility in it. Like you, I'd want all these things to be conveyed or stand up. You're like, I, I, I know what I'm shaping up there. Like I just did my sister's wedding and that was fucking impossible. They were like, would you officiate it? And I was like, this is really hard. Yeah. Because people also think, is he going to be, he's going to be joking around the whole time. Totally. I'm not, it's my sister's wedding. Like, and you're also not as a person, you're not constantly walking around. No, I don't do that. So I thought, how do I do this in a way? So I took a long time to like write it and work through it. And it was really a challenge. Sure. So that was more challenging by far than doing an hour of standup is like, let's go have fun. And you're also kind of stepping into the Andrew standup character. Yeah. Some, a skin that, you know, very, very well. Yeah. Another skin takes a little more work. Yeah. I just have to put it on and I do put on other people's skin. Great. Who doesn't, right? Who doesn't, man? You got great skin. I want to wear it. No, what, like what? Cause I just, I just, when you said that about, I just did the commencement speech at my college and I was so nervous. That is so nerve wracking. It was so, and here, and cause, but people have the same. thinking of like, hey, you're in front of people all the time, you do this. I'm so comfortable playing on set or a character or something. It's taken a while, but I have that comfort level. But standing up, being myself, also, it's like a wedding where it's such an important moment of their life. You don't want to mess it up. And I mean, it was actually really fun, but I was very, I was terrified. Did you watch other people's speeches? No, God, no. No, that would influence you. That would psych me out. Yeah. Like I've seen a few, I've seen a few ones that I like that are memorable in my mind. And every time I see those, I think, well, that I couldn't even come close so that it would be. Yeah. So I'm not going to do it. Yeah. It would give me the most anxiety, but also I'm never going to get asked. And it was very cool to say stuff that I wish someone had told me. What did you deliver that meant the most? One of the things that meant the most was I said, if I can tell you, it's like the value that you have today, as a person is the same value you're going to have before, before, after any success that comes your way. Even though the world will tell you, you have value. If you get this job, if you get 2.5 kids, if you, whatever, your value will stay the same. God will see you as completely loved and tremendous value. And that was because it is true. The equation you get in with the world, especially in this business of like, Oh, I think subconsciously, I think that, and it's like having that immigrant, I don't know if they're going to remember it, but there's real power to like somebody saying, Hey, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. Hey, your value right now is going to stay the same with whatever happens. You're right. I think it's, I think they, I think it'd hit more people than you think. Uh, because we get a lot of people that sometimes send us these great fan messages that are like, I don't think you guys understand. My life was in shambles and just having a laugh helps me get through the bullshit because we think we're like, yeah, we're entertainers. We're clowns. We're having fun. I want to make you laugh. I want to make you disappear for a little while, but it becomes kind of, you know, par for the course. So you just kind of go through the motions of having fun and doing it. And I think that's, I think that's, I think that's, I think that's until people really say it's like, it did help more than, you know, so I bet you, you had a lot of people that, I hope so. It is weird though, when you hear that, cause like people say that I've been arrested or something like that. And it's, it's hard to frame it. Cause you just, I see it as like, what? Like, yeah, it's like, I'm an, I'm a narcissistic actor. What are you talking about? Like, it's like, I don't, but it is a service. Oh, big time. You're letting people escape more escapism. I think we talked about this literally an hour ago. I was like, we need to be more stupid and have more escape. Cause the word escape is like, I don't know, I don't know, the world is pretty, uh, it's just too, without even diving in, it's just, things are kind of, things are kind of sad on a scale where you go, man, I'm confused. Like everything feels pretty heavy now. And it probably always has. It's not just now. No. Yeah. But you go through these waves of society feeling a type of way. And the more goofy we are, or the more we let loose on stuff and make people feel something else, I think the better we'll be. And just for a pocket of time to be able to do that. Yes. Little nuggets. Cause it's not gonna, it's nothing lasts. Like I watched, uh, the, um, Hulk Hogan documentary, which by the way, I don't, do you, have you seen it? No. Is that good? It's brilliant. I'm not, I never was a wrestling fan, but I was interested in the idea of this guy and something they hit on pretty often is, or the people speaking about him or how, how at some point he did kind of get lost as Hulk Hogan and not Terry Bollea. Like he didn't even know his real name. Terry, is that right? Bollea? But yeah, no, I, I mean, I didn't either, but like you have people who have known him for a long time that go, there was a detrimental part of his career where he thought he was Hulk Hogan. Yeah. Yeah. And that can happen. Sure. And it does in our business a lot. With Pee Wee Herman it happened. People say it about you too. They go, that's, you know, Tony thinks he's something else. He thinks he's. You hear these conversations all the time. No, but he got, but he got lost in it. I think it was very eyeopening. It's a very, um, uh, you know, what's the word? It's, it's a, it's a warning shot almost to the business. It did break my, cause I saw that Pee Wee Herman documentary also. Did you see that? Awesome. It's so good. And it was just the opposite. Like he didn't want to be, you know, he didn't want to be, he wanted to be separate from that, but there was such an attack. People just attached it to him. You know, that was hard. And he was so talented outside of that. It's so funny that that's all people wanted him to be. Yeah. But that's a hard thing to escape because sometimes typecasting is, is golden handcuffs. And so it's hard to like, you've managed, you've been so dynamic. You, no one's tagged you with anything. You know, that's very nice to say. I did this movie over the summer that came out this past summer that took us eight years to get made. And eight years, eight years for people at home that don't know. That's not that crazy. That happens all the time. And it was, I was so proud of it. And it was, it's called sketch. And I was playing just a dad. I was playing a dad whose daughter is going through this stuff and it's just a beautiful movie. Um, but it was nice to just be closer to who I am, you know, just to have that kind of, you know, just normal conversation. Cause I love playing my characters, but their Buster was always on the defense. Like everything he was out he even had his hands up, always on defense. And Gary was like, you know, just this, and it's so fun, but just to play a character that was closer to me, even though when this came out, I have to tell you, we went with this certain company. We're thankful it was released the whole, the whole faith community thought this movie was demonic. Why? Just ridiculous. It was ridiculous. It was, well, this is a whole soapbox, but it's like, it, it was released on a platform. There was typically a faith-based audience. There was a large faith-based audience because they wanted to put us in screens. And I was very thankful for that. And a large part of their audience thought it was demonic. And because it was talking about grief and there was, um, we described like inside out meets Jurassic park. And it was just because it went past their idea of art and how just maybe what they were used to is seeing this platform do stuff. And it was just absolutely mind boggling. That P like people were, misinterpreting the message. I think they just, they maybe liked a pretty little package of life with a little bow on it. They don't like messy stuff. Sure, sure, sure. You know, they, It's like if you put the matrix on lifetime, they'd be like, I don't know, man. Or even the Bible. Yeah. They're like, What actually happened in the Bible? They're like, we don't, uh, They don't want that mess. We don't want that. They like a pretty picture. And, and it's just also grief is messy. Very. And it's, and this was kind of, there was also these, um, kind of, there was monsters in it because her pictures came to life. And it was just outside of how they saw, you know, maybe what faith anyways, and it wasn't even a faith-based movie, but since it was on this platform, all that to say, it was a little bit of a rollercoaster. But I mean, I think, But it's a great film. It's a beautiful film. Please watch it. Go watch it right now. You won't plug it. What, what is the, Sketch. It's called Sketch. Yeah. And where's it on right now though? It's, well, you can get it on like Amazon. Amazon Prime. Yeah. Yeah. But I think that the, we did him and I, Conan and I just spoke about that, that we want the, I, artists are always like, I want people to like it. But the real thing you want is people to be challenged a little bit. And so what that, that actually achieved the goal at a better level where a lot of people probably did like it, but those that didn't like it, it's probably because it challenged them. But isn't that more, isn't that more beneficial than just like, it was okay. Yeah. The art stuck with them. It didn't just come out. Yeah. The art did something to them. It is. It's as a person, cause I'm myself, I'm a person of faith and it's, I think that hits a little harder. Cause I'm like, come on. Like this is, it's almost like, you know, you take a picture of a tree and you take a picture of a cross and you go, what's, what is, what do you consider as the art of faith? They immediately go to a cross and it's like, that's a tree. That is a beautiful creation of God. And you're just limiting, you're putting God in a box. He is so much bigger than how you think, you know? And it's, so it's a little crazy making for me. I get it. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Well, and also, uh, I, we always, when we have stuff like that, where we try to do something subversive or whatever, that people kind of have this. Intense reaction to, I'm always like, well, the people that get it, we'll get it. And the people that don't, we'll don't. And that's kind of. And it's challenging. You're right. I mean, it should challenge. Yeah. It absolutely should challenge. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we can't all make super highbrow stuff like Madea films. We can't all do Tyler Perry films. One day. One day. We will. They are funny though. They're so funny. He is very funny. Honestly, it's brilliant. It's the, it's, it's genuinely the most streamlined. What's the funniest version that everyone is going to laugh at at this thing? And it's, it's like, oh, well, that's funny. I'm going to laugh at that. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. But I'm going to laugh at it. It's a good character. Yeah. How are my Shady Rays basically the same quality as the $200 sunglasses I used to buy? It's incredible. I'm not exaggerating.

When you, because I'm interested, if you want to talk about it. Please. You grew up in, because growing up in the church, yeah? I grew up Irish Catholic, and then we got kicked out because my parents got divorced, which you know is. Which, where is that in the Bible? It's not. It's not. It's so funny because Christ came and, let's go to the Beatitudes. It's not that. It's for some reason that it's just the judgment is so heavy. It's very odd. They do this thing where they're like. It is, I mean, not to get. Go for it. I won't say a certain political person, but like, not say, but even highlightously, but in scriptures, it says, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. That's the fruit of when you follow God. Now, maybe I'm working on two or three on a good day. Right. But when I can't find one in a person that you're associating with my faith community, mm-mm. It's pretty crazy. That's not how it works. Right. You know? Right. And it's infuriating to me. It is. Who, I mean, Christ was the one who went to the woman at the well and was like, you, I saw her, whereas everybody else cast her out. Yeah. Like, and for them to do that to your family, that is not Christ. It just makes you, it's very odd that. Oh, it just gets me. Well, because a lot of times, you know, and I'm not pointing fingers at them, but a lot of times, certain sects will decide from a cultural standpoint what they're okay with, less so than what's probably Scripture. I think it's more about culture. And now, culture is different, right? That's a good point. This was also a long time ago. That's a good point because I think people are typically maybe more afraid of the church than they are of God. Yeah. They're more afraid of the community and kind of the group think than they are of God. Because that is, also at the time, particularly like my grandmother's time, it was imperative to your sense of communal worth, was like being, a good Catholic or whatever you'd want to call it, or being a good member of the community. It wasn't even about their belief. It was about the community of the church and how people felt about you. Which also, you know, my dad grew up with in the South, even, it's more prevalent because there, Southern churches more, I mean, he grew up in a small town. They know everything about everybody. They can't wait to go. Church is where they go to gossip. Church was like TMZ for them. You know what I mean? Where they want to, they just want to tell, you know. Prayer requests. You know who's doing, you know who's doing terrible. You know who we need to pray for. Exactly. It's just, it's a way to like spread. Yeah, sure, sure. Bless their hearts. Bless their hearts. Yeah, because my grandmother, my, in her basement had a salon and this was like church 2.0. that's right, at a Steel Magnolias. 100%, dude. This is 2.0 church. It was like church existed and then so did the salon. Sure. And these two things were linked. Girl, you get in here. Yeah, yeah. Sit down. Let me get you some honey. Listen, listen, what I heard. You need to hear what I heard. You know Gina. Pull that hairdryer up. I got something to tell you. What did she say? What did she say? I can't imagine the amount. But so, so that affected my viewpoint of it because it was, you know, and then still had it in another way through a different sect of, of, of Christianity. But it is funny because as a kid I was like, what are we bad or something? What is that? What is that? You know, but it does something to you as a kid. Of course, of course. You change your belief system. And then you, you question, which is good, but when you, your life in the church as a kid, was it like, was it you and your, and, and everyone you knew or was you, you were kind of like, was it your friend group there too or no? It was, I think, to your point, I think it was more the Southern community. Yeah. We were in, we were in church. It was more of, it was kind of a social club. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, I wouldn't say I probably formed a relationship with God until, until post-college. Yeah. Yeah. When, when kind of stuff hit the fan and I, I woke up to the fact, oh, I need, I need to lean on something bigger than me. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's awesome. And when people say, I think it's, you know, in conversation, like if they see religion or faith as a crutch, you know, I'm always like, oh, give me two crutches, man. Life is, life is not easy. Do you have a religious wheelchair over there? Because I'd like to rock for life with that. sign me up. Well, and then the other thing is I saw it through, um, a bunch of different versions because of my, my parents' version and then, you know, my biological father, um, who was in the program where they find faith very heavily and that's a big part of his life. Yeah. So I got two different viewpoints of it, which is why I kind of feel the way, I feel like I'm a, a meshing of the two. Sure, yeah. Like I got the traditional stuff and then I got a kind of non-traditional viewpoint. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which ironically, some people who are very faith-based judge the other side of it, but you're like, that's so funny. Because they're finding it a different way. It has to be the language is judgment. I know. And to your point, like when people find out I'm a, my faith is very important to me, you always, I always have to take into consideration, they're looking through so many different filters. You know, the religious abuse, the like, I mean, all this kind of stuff. You have no idea someone's story. No. And so, it's always about just trying to be, or I try to always be curious. You're like, please let me know your story. Yeah, let me fill it in. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. Man, I got a bigger crush on you now than before. Yeah. I had one before. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I got a ginger crush. This was his whole goal. When he walked in, he's like, watch me make this guy love me. He's going to get in the car, call his wife. No, what he was, he was swooning. He was swooning. All I say is like, mission accomplished. She, you hang up, she opens a book and crosses my name off of people that, she's like, got him. Got him. That's who we need to last. What, it is cool to say that you moved down there, though. I'm so interested in moving away. I wore this hat for you because it's orange. I do like that. And it's Pixar. Oh, it is Pixar. Yeah, yeah. Well, you're Pixar's golden child now. How many Pixar films have you done? Just two. Well. I'm thankful. Two massive franchises. Two, yeah. Do you know what's so cool about being in a toy story is this character Forky I'm so crazy about and it's so nice to be able to go back and do him again. Yeah. You know, because Forky just has the, speaking of curiosity, he's just this like, has a lot of questions and, and in this, in the last movie there was this character named Gabby Gabby who was kind of this antique evil doll that nobody liked but Forky didn't really have, he didn't put people in boxes and he was like, I think she's got good hair. And would just want to go brush her hair and it was because of that then Gabby had her own kind of redemptive story and you rarely see a villain kind of be restored or come to redemption and in that movie she did because somebody kind of crossed over and just wanted to get to know her. Pixar does that better than I do. Oh, it's just the levels are beautiful. I don't know how they're able to do that so, I mean, and they do it so fast. They're able to build these films out with such like deep, they do the thing that Simpsons did for me as a kid which was like, it's for adults and for children simultaneously that Pixar has found a way to do so seamlessly. I don't think, I don't think anybody gets close. Oh, a ball. Yeah, crying. Just cry. Yeah, what was the last time you cried in the theater? Oh, I think I'm going to say in general, I was like, oh, this morning. What was the last time you cried this morning? Yeah. I do like to cry though. You do? I do like to cry. Favorite place to cry? I do, in the morning, I journal and so I'll cry. You cry while you write. I do like a devotional kind of journaling cry or just kind of sit, I'll sit there and then, you know what actually happens a lot? Oh, this happens a lot. So, I've been doing it for about three or four years where I try to journal every day and then on the day I look back at each year of what was going on. Oh, wow. And so to see how, I believe, God kind of teaches me through stories, it's just so like, cool. I'm always blown away by it, yeah. Do you ever go back and add to something or like retake something from before? No, I mean take it and then, just say this didn't happen but this did. Yeah, by the way, this wasn't right. No, you take something from before and then you add, if you're thumbing back and you see something that affected you a type of way, do you use that to put into something new that you're going through now? yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, and it's also, it's that and it's also if I'm going through something, there's something that was written that's so in line and encouraging of this that's rather through a book. There's an amazing author, he was a Catholic priest called Henry Nowen and he was just, he worked with a disabled community and his writing is so beautiful and so I write a lot of his stuff down and I'll be going through something and just be like, holy shit, like it's just perfect, you know. We'll never see any of these writings of yours though, will we? No, I've actually told my wife that if I die, to burn them all. I'm a little too honest. Wait, why? Why? That's good though. Don't you think that would be amazing to put together in some way? It's honest and it's also just like, you know. I didn't like my wife's shoes today, you know. Just kind of, I don't know, it's that kind of, honestly it's that stuff of do I want my daughter to, I don't know, I don't know if I, yes, because it's really, you want to be as specific as possible. Yeah. And somebody told me to do a digital, journaling and I just like writing. Don't do digital, that's like the worst thing in the world because then it's there for, then it's there for someone else to take. Yeah, yeah. I feel like digital. Because they have those journal like locked ones where it's all like, you can lock it but then I guess that's, you know. Something can get to it. Yeah. What are your thoughts on AI? Cheers. Cheers. Well, it's over. They got us. He's actually not real. Because so much information you're putting in these AI's and it's like, where's that going? I know, my wife and I spoke about that last, when we were watching the Hulk Hogan documentary, I talked about how, you know, there's a point of like, people selling their likeness, you know, to the machine. And I said, I think it's only appropriate, like didn't, Bruce Willis did it. Didn't he do it? Didn't he sell his likeness? Is that true? There was a deal that was trying to be made to like buy his likeness. I love that he went to his sister's wedding. Yeah, it's amazing. I think that's really sweet. It was a videographer. Bruce Willis did not sell his likeness. Do people say you look like Benson Boone? He does look like Benson Boone. Well, we call him, what did I, come on. You call me Lord Farquaad sometimes? He's Farquaad, my little Farquaad boy. Okay, well that's based on shame. When he's got his hair. Oh, oh I see. see we made you're too tall for that thank you we made him go to a group of girls at a bar when we were out drinking and i go go tell them go go up to them and go have you guys seen shrek and they'll inevitably say yes and then go it's it's me and it worked and they liked it it crushed it worked very well and then i asked one for her number and then she said she was a lesbian she he get and then he did this literally he went like i watched him do this and i was like what was the fist he's like i asked for a number she said thank you but i'm i'm gay and he goes i instinctively just poked my fist up as an ally as an ally he didn't know what to do but it was honestly this is the funniest thing you could have done it was a good outro and then it was an easy escape it was a good escape you were allowed to then bow and go thank you thank you for your time goodbye he didn't sell it he didn't sell his likeness no so i thought he was going to why would he circulating but oh to do future work yeah because because he's unfortunately sick and he yeah and but but i did say i said look if if i was sick and on my way out leaving my family money like i get that being like sell me because i'm going to pass soon but i was like i i hope no one else alive wants to do that no we don't have any kids no he well he's my son i guess right yeah yeah my 20 because i think people i don't know if people want to do that to kind of leave something i know yeah but then you then who's in control of your likeness when it's over yeah yeah yeah i mean that's the scariest part i know a lot of people uh during cook i don't know them i heard they kind of sold their voices yeah that was a popular thing to do and for a lot of money but then they have that voice for and that's that's scary forever and then you end up doing like the the train or something welcome to it's your voice on whatever city you arrive at yeah do you use ai don't mind it's on your phone no i do yeah which one uh claude you use because i listen to a podcast with oprah yeah heard of her yeah um and uh popular oprah is and they give i'm not going to get this right but it's something like 80 percent of their gross is kind of given away to help stuff i don't know this is such a there's they have a word for it's not he can look it up what does claude do claude gives they get you saying they're not their majority of their profits are going to other beneficial things it says uh the eight percent figure you're referring to comes from the high computing and infrastructure courts associated with ai workload for heavy reasoning intensive tasks computational cost can sometimes consume 80 percent of gross revenue leaving lower even negative margins unless heavily subsidized by venture capital no i don't know if that's that's not what he was looking for no type in oprah podcast 80 percent claude uh ai can you stick around and do some of this for us if you don't mind could we switch he's going to do your job from now on that's literally how you would do it because i'm wondering if that's it was something like it says the pledge made by the co-founders of anthropic the creators of claude to donate 80 percent of their personal wealth generated from the company of philanthropic causes good that's right good so it's which i thought 80 percent of their personal wealth which is a shite that's a lot of money and i like that and they're also very environment they're environmental because of all the water and they're trying to because the water is the biggest right water wind right they're trying to find a way to cool those servers off with wind because water is expensive yeah well and we're just using up fresh water we're trying but we're trying they're trying to figure out a way to circumvent that but that is a long process i mean look it's here whether you like it or not i don't like it but it's here i don't like it but it's not on my phone it's not on my phone no he knows i don't use it i've never used it i've never used it you've never used it well unfortunately you used it if you've googled because google now has ai internally built search engine so you don't have a choice yeah yeah but i don't speak to a uh ai uh i'm cons okay app or what i'm considering because i try to with apps and stuff you know like staying present and stuff is tough for me so hard so i'm like excuse me get it out to the gen man all right but it's uh i'm trying to get rid of as many even my browsers so like safari and some of my phone so i kind of my wife has a code that i can't download anything really but i have ai because if i need a question or if i just have a question about something like you know what's where's the restaurant i just use that that's that's really your wife has you locked out she has me locked out like she has a code i can't my app store is taken off my phone oh that's good and the browser taken off and i can't download or upload i'm sorry i can't doubt i can't download or erase the easy transition here for me is this is a massive through line of toy story 5 please it's tech oh it's tech it's really a great transition no it is i mean it's it's the thing i thought about whiskey ginger knows what he's doing we know what we're doing no but it is true it's the biggest one of the biggest when i saw the original the trailer i was like oh it's interesting i always thought like when are we going to how heavily interjected is that going to be into children's entertainment and that's interesting that they're that's what i do love about pixar i don't think that they would have done another one if they didn't have a story that's a good story and it's a good story it's so real i have not seen it yet so i'm i'm curious it's really good you should see it you're good yeah you're very good i knew you'd see it can you bring up the notes if you don't mind but you know that's my favorite comeback of anything like if somebody did something and just want to throw out a joke i said i've got some notes but it's like my favorite comeback good i have a i have a couple yes you did so good couple notes couple notes um but just the you know the technology of it all just how to the toys meets tech you know yeah it's so funny it's not like i sound like i know what i'm talking about but it is it's funny it took him this long to talk about it because it's just so funny so prevalent that we grew up with toys toys now are tech tech is a part of toys inevitably it's become like teddy ruxpin was like a revolutionary thing that it spoke to kids yes and then after that it was like well the toys were so removed from tech and now they're blending again to be one so that's an interesting idea that like the ipad which is a massive piece of toy technology to every friend i have with a kid yeah that it becomes like ipad in your face like i see a toy in your face like i see a toy in your face and i'm like oh my god it's like a little toy i know it's wild crazy that babies in the past 10 years were born into touch screen that's wild you know i just i mean like i remember hearing about that and being like that's martian territory yeah we're in space to touch something and move it that's nuts so that's what that is is minority report man when he was at the oh yeah he was like zoom yeah wiping it away and i was like what is happening and now it's happening and then do you remember in the first harry potter when the people are talking on screens and stuff like that and i was like that is crazy and then you go to time square and it's like everybody's everywhere constantly yeah yeah it did feel like that was miles and miles away yeah no you're inside of it look at your whiskey collection do people bring you to whiskeys we do have some over there that guy fieri brought me his blanco tequila guy fieri i should say i always say it wrong uh that's from that porosis is vodka so there's a bunch of others micked and that's from tom sigurnberg kreischer and then uh father time uh jim gaffigan yeah have you ever had his yeah uh no i don't like whiskey wait why don't you like bourbon we i did we you flew right by it it well it doesn't sit well with me there's something about it yeah yeah yeah what about beers no god no definitely no i would say beers wines some wines are okay uh uh whiskeys bourbons gin i don't even like vodka gin is the only one i'm like i like i can handle well gin i respect that's why that's the only reason why we're having it i love i love an ice cold gin martini oh yeah with a wash of vermouth and an olive and this and like a twist oh he likes a twist yeah because i like the salty sweet now when you say the wash you like it they just wash the glass but don't leave any in don't leave get it out of there get it out of there i do i i saw some award-winning japanese bartender speak about this that you kept the glasses like ungodly cold like frozen to a level that only japanese know how to do and i'm sure they're all the exact same temperature yeah and they literally like dip it like as if you were dipping a you know ice cream and in chocolate he like dips it in there and lets it sit for a certain amount of time then he removes it in a way and it's so cold that he like swipes it out and it like crests the side oh it's so good yeah that's only the japanese have you been to japan by the way no oh you want to have the best whatever you like really whatever i always say like whatever you like yeah they do the best version of that whether you're like i want a gin martini or i like uh you know a certain kind of seafood or they do it in a way and they're and it's usually like just one little old man who's been doing it for 58 years yes and he's it's by himself just mastered it and you leave and you're like how much do i owe and they're like 40 dollars yeah for like the greatest experience you've ever had and meanwhile here you're like go get a coffee for 1995 i had to have a talk with my daughter because she's at college and this coffee generation you see in the credit card numbers pile unbelievable yeah it's bad and it's it's the social hangout it's like let's grab a coffee let's grab a coffee and i'm like do you have a card at your college yeah where you can swipe for food anytime you want right but it's going to all the cool coffee shops no i know what are you gonna do what are you gonna do i mean we didn't have that like i didn't know one friend i that's not sure i knew a couple of kids but pretty rarely do i knew someone that had like a credit card of their parents or whatever now and this is this is this is totally normal now i didn't have any friends i didn't have any friends who drank coffee no no nobody not in college nobody drank no you drank a beer in the morning at some diner. - Right, right, right. - You know? an old guy what are you doing but now the coffee's nasty it's uh it's cultural but it's also sugary sweetie blah blah i'm still old school i'm a loser i have i have a pot of coffee every morning at the house and it's drip i'm old school drip guy i'm not a what what does that mean drip just a drip coffee just an old school like a traditional mr coffee machine because now when you get a coffee shop it's super like drip is like kind of oh yeah no this is like old school i buy it from the coffee shop next door oh yeah yeah i bring it home i scoop it i i make a i don't make a full pot now because my wife is like you're consuming a scary amount of coffee i i would i'd have like three or four cups in the morning and then i have probably another one during the day don't you love that like when you get it that warm and then that first set yeah you're just gonna sell my dog comes downstairs my wife will still be upstairs i'll be looking out is your wife in the in the business no no she's a human she's a regular human no she is your wife in the business she was a makeup artist yeah that's right yeah but but that's not the same as she wasn't she wasn't a performer right uh l magical the great comic l magical says one headshot per household that was his rule one headshot per household and it like singed into my brain kind of like the professor saying that that nonsense yes one headshot per household and i was too i was argumentative i was like people that's not true it happens the other way all the time and he's like how many are still together i was like they're everyone's working on everything al was there something that singed in your mind outside of that that has just really laid a foundation ah like a quote like a quote a pass or just something that somebody said to you that it has been always hard to shake oh that's really why do you have one in your mind someone minds that voice yeah that voice still got you i think i think um what stayed in my mind if you don't have a really good question no i have to think about like what what pops into my head you know for me unfortunately it's like little it's snippets or things that i think are facts that are told to me that i probably have regurgitated that are not true or lies you know when you like hear a story or tell like i was i talked to uh my whole life my we listen to irish music with my grand grandparents that's precious well but then there were certain songs where i was like yeah my grandmother loved that song and i said this to my brother-in-law's parents because i googled the facts of the song a danny boy you know oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i thought that was like an old school like beautiful irish it's written by an english guy british guy did it it was like a british pop song almost and you're like oh that's really disheartening so like i think i've you hear things about like with traditionally something or that's more what i do i'll regurgitate a thing i heard the melody was an old irish melody but the folks yeah but the lyrics we know are from an englishman and yuck we can't deal with that that's not gonna be and sorry no offense to you mayflower thank you i'm trying to i'm trying to i'm trying to think of something that's interesting you said about the stories because i have i recently went back to tallahassee where i grew up and i gathered some high school friends together and um just like to you know hang out and a large part of it was i wanted us just to tell stories yeah those stories because i don't remember much and then there was a couple of them that i was like is this is this how you remember it because when you tell something for decades yeah like have i completely twisted the story and thankfully i hadn't have you seen the movie big fish oh a long time i think it's one of the best movies of all time billy crudup here's why i think it's so brilliant it's exactly what you're talking about and i watch it like i'll re-watch it like every year or so because i'm fascinated with the idea of like we all do this where if people that don't know it's a great movie billy crub's father is dying and he takes his new his now wife and new child to go see their dying grandfather and he has a very uh disjointed relationship with this man and as the story goes it's it's his father's retelling of these life stories are always big fish stories like it was uh it was uh yeah yeah but billy internally is fighting this thing to not call his father out all the time like that you're a liar dad that's not what happened yeah but the the the truth of the film is sometimes isn't the story better that it's a big story i mean that's the beauty of that movie and it's done so well yes that you're like yeah what is better because it's not a harmful lie it's like a it's a beautiful he's telling it in a way of fantasy so it so it enhances the and it's it's theatrical i mean because i'm sure you do this with your wife like there are stories that when somebody says something my wife and i have stories that we just love to share together oh yeah and it's the experience of i mean one one we we told recently of like um i had in the show i had to do in some much longer story i had to do the sex scene i was terrified to do a sex scene because i've just never had to do a sex scene because i've just never had to do sex scene because i've just never had to do sex scene and i was so scared and unarrested unarrested it was unarrested it was unarrested development i mean come on not right there but uh and i went up to my wife and i was like sweetheart i'm really i'm really nervous i've never she's like i don't care what you have to do i need a new couch mama wants drinks exactly she was like you tell them to get that camera right in there get right in there now she does it much better were you really i was nervous yes yeah like i haven't done a lot i have i've only i did a i did a show called i'm dying up here where i had to do um the hardest thing for me was not even my scene i was walking in it was the gym yeah yeah yeah i walked in on a sex scene and that was harder for me to do because i have to jake lacy my boy my my love oh jake lacy one of my favorite people of all time oh he's he we did being in the ricardos together i know he's so much shit about you by the way why am i hearing about this now i know we should have emailed you this is so he's so kind to me he's the greatest no he's actually a really great dude and he's a great actor and so i had a hookup scene but like it wasn't that nerve-wracking ari grainer and and i were and it was kind of like fun and we were smoking a joint it was like it wasn't like intense but the hardest one for me like jake was having sex and i walk in on them and i'm supposed to like have this entire conversation with him and they're naked and his ass is like in my face line when i first show up like he's doggies now i'm standing there like this is so hard to do because i'm supposed to like really be in this character like i'm upset at him i'm really mad yeah and also i'm i'm upset that like he's hooking up and he's getting more success in the business than i am and i have all this stuff but the whole time i'm staring at like my buddy naked it's hard to not laugh and you're like i mean i've envisioned it but like it was just hard to be like if it by the way it would have been better if it was strangers or actors that i yes had no relationship with yes that's oof it's hard when it's someone you know yeah it was tough no but when you when you when you when when mama needs a new couch mama needs a new couch and it was really tricky because it was i'm also like in my 50s like i don't but the scene made a lot of sense and we had talks about you know what i was comfortable with what i wasn't comfortable with but i've never had i've never had to do something like that i mean buster bluth come on buster bluth come on who wants to say that but you do it again now though another sex scene it depends really you think you might turn it down no i mean i well that's um if it came up again well that again it'll if i go to my wife she'll say how much that's all shit like how much are they offering i like your wife already she's smart because i'll be like well this could be really destructive to my psyche and she's like we can pay for therapy without money smart woman dude she figured it out she got a house she's like there's an answer to my friend yeah just get naked and go do the thing all right i don't want to keep you longer i know uh you're on a you've been on a big run but i appreciate you i love it this is so fun i really appreciate you coming you can have this by the way because i'm not going to drink it but are you going to be even is this going to be worth it to have um yeah you should keep it you should take it with you i'm trying to think if i can

picture of his bar we'll spit up a picture of his insane bar no but i don't have that at my bar i don't have that at my bar i don't have that at my bar but um i appreciate you being here and i want

you go to town it's like you know it's you're from place to place it's nice to have that kind of connection so i will be bothering you in birmingham please let me know i'll bother you i promise yeah we end the show the same way uh you look into that camera and you say one word or one phrase to end the episode it used to be used to be um imparting words of wisdom sometimes people like to say one singular word but either way keep in mind this will end up in the smithsonian we've already submitted oh really for the rest of time we're going to one of many of my things am i right please i got a emmy that i wanted one of them no what if i was like i would love it we actually we actually did a bit lamorne lamorne morris oh such a nice guy happy gilmore he was at that netflix thing too yeah we did happy gilmore too and one of the jokes which never made it into the cut was we panned out and lamorne was there the whole time one of the like the villain was on bad friends yeah and and he was like promote and then and then andrew and bobby were watching the golf climax and at one point it cut over revealing that while they were watching the game lamorne was on he was just on the show and he was holding the m and he was like do we are we gonna get started anytime get started or something and we're like that's great we're shushing him away with his Emmy, he's like, okay. I mean, I brought it. It was very funny. We did, we actually melted it down because we needed the gold. Oh, is it gold? Money's tight. It's not, well, yours are chocolate. I just want to let you know. They told me it was chocolate. Yeah, peel it back. Daff camera, one word or one phrase. Impart a word of wisdom. It could be funny, it could be sweet, it could be whatever you want. I have two. Oh, please. Can I say two? You can. They're both kind of heavy. Not heavy. No, I like it. But I do, well, the first one is when I booked, quickly, when I booked Arrested Development, it was my dream and it scared me because it didn't satisfy me the way I thought it was going to satisfy me. And it was, I woke up to the lesson that if you're not practicing contentment where you are, you're not going to be content when you get what you want. And then, I always love to tell people it's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. In here, we pour whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, whisk. You're that creature in the ginger beard. Sturdy and ginger.
