don't chant the Conan. It sounds like a. Salem witch trial. Uh, very nice to see. you. A gentleman tried to high-five me, fist bump uh on the way in. I don't do. well with those. Do you? If you saw me. on the street, would you hold up your. hand? I don't. I never make a good. connection. I'm usually holding. something. I apologize to that. gentleman, but those frighten me. How? All right. Also, that can be uh confused for a. fascist salute, which would have been funny 5 years ago,

but now it's getting scary. Um, how you. all doing? You ready to go? All right. [Music]. This guy over here grew the beard that I. had about eight years ago. Fantastic. Very That's my beard, man. I want it. back. How are you? How long did it take. you to grow that? >> I don't know. 6 hours. >> 6 hours. Wow. You're just infused with. testosterone. Mine took nine years. I mean, it sneezed. and it fell off. Uh, this is a very. special show that we have today. Uh, these guys are my heroes. I will time.

travel with you to 1984. I am an. incredible comedy nerd. I'm in. Cambridge, Massachusetts. And one of my. friends says, uh, it was believe it was. Mark Silber said, "Hey, let's go see. Spinal Tap. Uh, it just came out. I hear. it's funny." I said, "What is that?" He. said, "You never seem to know anything. Your your career will flounder." Uh, and. uh, we took the tea over to a theater. and we saw Spinal Tap and it opened so.

many doors in my mind to what was. possible in comedy. And I just saw you. wearing the Conan shirt. You look. lovely. How are you? Okay. All right. How are you? Nice to see you. Um, I used to go and I go. like a a cat with leukemia. Oh, sorry. Dark image, but it happens. happens all. the time. Okay, that was nothing. Um, my point is that uh that movie meant so.

much to me and if you had told that guy. I'm very I'm not uh at all jaded. I'm. very sentimental and I have a very good. contact with the young Conan of 1984 and. I'm able to access that guy and he's. freaking out right now because he's. going to hang out with the people who. changed his life all those years ago. So, that's awesome for me and it's nice. that you're all here to take part in. that. Um, I think we're going to have a very good. time. Play, uh, Spinal Tap guys, they.

mean anything to you? I know you're very. young. I mean, when I say young, you're. like in your late 50s. >> Thank you. Uh, iconic. I'm so excited. >> Okay, very good. You've been working on. that answer all day. >> He was riding in his car. Iconic. I'm so. excited. Iconic. I'm so excited. Iconic. excited me. I am. Uh, we're going to. have a good time. We're going to have a. great time. I've been looking forward to. this show for a while. Look, there are. times I'm talking to a guest and I. absolutely loathe them and I think you. could tell Olant. Uh I mean people I. despise. >> I think you just saw that when you talk. to talk to me. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, we've never done.

it. You've never been on the a guest on. the podcast and for good reason. Um you. and I are oil and water in the best way. >> We make a good salad dressing. Uh I. think we should get the show started. Um. thank you all very much for being here. you're a big part of this show and we're. going to have a good time. But really, there is no Conor Bryan needs a friend. without two of my good friends and I say. that in quotes. Um cuz I want to create. some emotional detachment from them. Sona Mossian and Matt Gory. Let's get. them in here.

[Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. >> Yay us. Yay. Um, it's a very long corridor to get. from backstage to this. It's a strange. setup here at SiriusXM in LA. And so. what happens is what people are hearing. at home is a sustained applause. Like. our screening of our movie at the Venice. Film Festival just aired and it's. getting a 9minute because that's people. very graciously applauding and cheering.

after we've been announced. But then 10. minutes of us walking and avoiding high. fivers. I see you, you son of a. in the hallway. It's this long walk and. that creates the uh audio illusion for. the people listening uh at home that you. guys got that long sustained applause. >> That's not an illusion. That was We. walked two feet. That was just pure. excitement. >> right outside the door. You called us. Yeah, we were. And we walked in and they. just wouldn't stop. >> You I announced you and I have I'm.

access to your app. You called an Uber. You called an Uber as I announced you. You have access to my apps. >> I have access to all your apps. >> You don't even have access to your own. apps. I don't. >> I have access to your apps. And that's. true. I know. >> Do you know that I can't I can't post on. social media? I'm not allowed to. I'm. like Ronald Reagan with the nuclear. codes. They they they. won't let me near any way that I could.

possibly start riffing spontaneously. online. And so, Sona, I would have to. call you. >> Yeah, that's true. >> If I want to order a hamburger on. GrubHub, not a sponsor. Um, I would uh I would. have to call you. I I do that with my. wife, too. I'm like, "Can you order the. pizza that's next door? >> What are you doing?" I do. My email is. attached to your Uber and the food. delivery services. So, every time you. order something or an Uber, it pops up. and I know exactly where you're going. I.

know exactly what you're eating. We have. some questions about some places you've. been going. >> I didn't know Hooters delivered. I was. just stunned. Wait, Stacy's a wonderful. lady. >> They deliver way. >> Stacy with an eye and it's a little. heart. She comes and delivers it and we. just chat about, you know, how the. Berlin Wall fell and it just uh all. kinds of fascinating stuff. Yeah. >> We have some interesting facts about. this audience. Do you know that some of. them have come from far and wide to be.

>> I would hope so because this is a This. of all the shows we've done, this is. going to be up there with one of the. most important ones. >> I think so. When you hear this, not only. Toronto, where are you? >> Awkward. >> Oh, that is so awkward. Maybe they. didn't make it here. >> Awkward. >> Wait, who gave you this information? >> I I was I think it's just. >> You don't You don't need the mic. >> You know, I love that your mic doesn't. even work. >> I don't need the You don't need it, though. That's. >> Yeah, Mike. You don't need your mic. Just speak. I think it's just You don't. have to You're so close to the.

microphone. If anything, could you step. out of the room and just talk at a. whisper? We'll still hear you. >> You're the loudest person we know and. you're in a small room. >> Into your mouth. >> Maybe just Canada. I thought it was. Toronto. Maybe just Canada. >> No. Maybe. Can I just I don't know. >> So, California. >> Okay. >> Wait a minute. Well, Bl, you came to us. all giddy and you said, "I've got some. info. It's going to be rocket fuel for. the top of the show. We've got someone. from Toronto. We don't have anyone from.

Toronto. There's someone out there. >> There's other place. There's other. places. >> Oh, there is someone outside. >> Oh, that's Oh, it's high five McGee. Yeah. Okay. >> But that's not all.

We're happy to. have you. >> Yes. >> Hola. >> Please let this one be real. New. Zealand. >> Wow. There we go. Just for the show.

>> That guy out. >> No, no, no. Can I tell you something? People say when they see a guy like. Blair, they say, "I came all the way. just for the show." But whenever I. question these people for more than two. seconds, it's Well, of course, I'm. getting a heart replaced while I'm here. at Cedar Sinai and I had an extra hour. So, were you here just for the show? Be. honest. Are you. >> No. No. I've been here for like two and. a half months and. >> Yes. >> I knew it. Whenever someone says just. for the show, it's not true.

Their new documentary, Spinal Tap 2: The. End Continues. Such a great title, is in. theaters September 12th. I am very. honored they are here today. These. gentlemen changed my life. I think they. changed many of the lives of people. here. Please welcome filmmaker Marty De. Burgie and members of Spinal Tap, Nigel. Toughell, Derek Smalls and David St.

Hubins. [Applause]. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello. We are Spinal Tap.

>> Yep. >> And we feel What do we feel. >> about what about. >> about being Conan O'Brien's friend? Mixed, right? >> It's all mixed. Very mixed. Mixed. >> Marty. Well, I I'm very happy to be Conan's. friend. >> Well, that's anybody to be my friend and. I can be yours. >> It's not a two-way street. >> Oh, >> yeah. I hate to break it. >> It's not even a street. >> You look so much smarter with the. glasses on. >> Oh, thank you. You like the glasses,

huh? Isn't that. >> shorter, too? While you're sitting down, >> I'm going to go with mixed. You feel. mixed because we don't know what's going. to happen. One of us, you know, >> we're all the same and yet we're all. completely different. Let me begin uh by. telling you it's an it's an honor to. have you here. It really is. Uh and I. made this very clear to my audience. before you came out. I saw your original. film This is Spinal Tap, the documentary. made by uh the great Mario Deie in 1984. and it changed my life.

>> I was not aware of your band. >> In what way did it change your life? >> For the worse. >> It changed it for the worse. I went into. a long depression. >> An open wound before you make it taller. It I came out dur second uh I think the. second Obama administration I recovered. myself but deep depression and uh but it. really did in so many ways it introduced. me to my uh to your work that I was not. aware of. >> Uh I hate to say that but I really. wasn't I just missed. >> no but you said it.

>> What's that? >> But you said it. >> I know I did say it and it was wrong. >> It was wrong to say it and I apologize. I just was unaware. Uh, I won't use the. term niche, but somehow your URA had. escaped me. Uh, and then Marty did this. incredible thing. He he brought you uh. to my attention. And Marty, uh, this has. been 41 years since the original film. >> Yes. And I I must say that this is the. first time that I've ever been allowed. to be on a stage with these gentlemen.

who I've admired for so many years. I I. was always a big fan. And I've never. been allowed to be on the stage with. them. >> Thin ice right now. >> You keep that up and it be the last. time. >> It doesn't feel like it's going well so. far, but I think you will acquit. yourself. Well, Marty, Marty, I hate to. bring this up, but uh one of the reasons. that you got involved in this project is. that you have struggled. >> since you made the original This is.

Spinal Tap in 1984. Uh you have. struggled greatly. uh you have had. difficulty finding. >> well I was hoping that uh when I uh made. this is Spinal Tap which by the way uh. the members of the band were not too. thrilled when they saw it they called. they called it a hatchet job and they. were not happy with how they were. portrayed. I thought it was a loving. portrayal, but I guess they were they. they felt differently. But I was hoping. that it would uh uh you know, basically.

boost my career, give me an opportunity. to uh do like a Hollywood feature, which. I was a I finally was able to do. Uh. they did a a a sequel to a very uh. important uh uh feature film that won an. Academy Award. It was called Kramer. versus Kramer with Meil Stre and and. Dustin Hoffman. And I did the sequel. which was. >> a Kramer versus Kramer versus Godzilla. >> Yeah. >> And it didn't do as well as I had hoped.

high concept. >> and I it sent me into a tail spin and I. left the business for a while and I went. to uh. >> I went to a retreat. >> a retreat uh which was the guru there. was a gentleman by the name of Baba. Ramdas. >> boat. >> and u. I was trying to find myself and uh one. morning I was uh drinking my uh. spirulina smoothie and uh I noticed in.

Deadline Hollywood that they were. thinking of getting back that there was. going to be another concert. >> We were forced into it and there was. there was a there was a contract that. was left dangling on the death of Ian. faith. >> This was not born of inspiration. I have. to say as many reunions that you were. contractually forced to get back. together again as is made clear in the. new document. >> Induced induced induced you were. induced. It was an induced it was an. induced pregnancy. induction. It was an. induction.

>> and um and uh I'm glad that you did get. back together. You you brought so much. joy to hundreds of people. >> Um. >> well, it gave us an opportunity. It did. give us an opportunity to get back. together again and break up again and. then get back together again. >> I think we broke up once more since then. and now here we are. >> Yeah. >> So, third time on the ninth. >> Did we change seats at any point or is. this it? We. >> You're actually fine there. >> We've talked about that format. The It's.

called. >> I wouldn't call it a format exactly. It's more like just seats. >> three. I was trying to put a nice gloss on what. you had said. >> Okay. >> Um I I want to uh ask you something, Nigel. You uh I was very surprised when. I saw the talk what you've been up to. >> You own a shop. >> I do. Yes. A cheese shop. >> Well, not just cheese. >> Not just cheese. No, cheese and guitars. Yeah. >> And it's fascinating. You see this in. the film. Someone comes in and I thought.

you could buy cheese or buy guitars, but. you can trade cheese for guitars or. trade guitars for cheese. Yes. It's a. barter system like they had back in. prehistoric times, you know, when there. were dinosaurs, people say, >> "No, no, >> did dinosaurs dinosaurs." If people. lived in caves kind of things, they. would trade things. So I say someone. comes in with a nice brie. >> Mhm. >> And I'll say maybe a flying V for the.

brie. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We have to see. I've got to weigh it. literally and then play the guitar and. vice versa as well. >> Yeah. Um Yeah. I I I saw that you were. doing that business and I thought. sometimes you see a business and you. think why didn't anyone else think of. this? I didn't have that thought. >> Interesting. Yeah. No, it's very it's. perfect for me cuz I love. >> Have you turned a profit yet? >> In what sense? >> Monetary in a barter sense.

>> Well, no. I admire him, but he's he. lives in a world of his own. >> Um David, what have you been up to? Bring us up to date because I don't want. to spoil. Don't do too many spoilers, but it is revealed in the documentary. you've been living in Mororrow Bay. >> Mororrow Bay, California. Anyone here. from Mororrow Bay? No. Never. Really? Are you Toronto? >> People often do that to. >> Oh, they're all Toronto. >> Yeah. Yeah, clearly. Except for the one. New Zealander. >> That's right. >> Yeah. >> Uh yeah. Well, I've been staying busy,

you know. I I um I'm a bit of a bit of a. star in Mororrow Bay. There's not not a. lot of uh uh famous people there. They're all retired uh English. musicians, all the famous ones. And I. happen to be number six or seven. Mhm. >> But um I'm I'm having a really nice I. love it. I love I'm a total Californian. now and I uh I play a little bit of. music on the side. >> Yeah. Tell us about your music career. because you've managed to stay in the. audio business, but in a way that.

surprised me. >> Well, listen, I I I I've got fairly. proficient on the keyboards and of. course all you need is about four or. five keys and a computer, you know, and. just pluck it out like this. And I do a. lot of uh scores for uh podcasts, crime podcasts, and you know, >> and it's it's very rewarding. >> Yes. I was uh you also record hold. music. Is that correct? >> Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The music you get. when you call up that's not just pulled.

out of the sky, you know, someone has to. do that. And I'm able to express sort of. my my inner middle of the road, if you. will. It's not it's not hard rock. It's. not quite Dixie Land. It's somewhere in. between. What's in between hard rock and. Dixie Land? >> I don't know. But you did win an award. for that music. >> I want a holdy. I did. Yeah, I did. Very proud. Very proud. That's. true. >> Uh, >> and also I I you you I I know maybe you.

don't want to, you know, you know, put a. light on it, but you do still play with. a band. I I noticed. >> there's a bunch of BS I get together. with. Yeah. Yeah. And we've I've really. got heavy into mariachi music and I've. been writing tunes uh actually some of. them are traditional tunes, but I've. been translating. harder, more demonic lyrics into the. into Spanish with the help of Maria. Maria is my living chef and she helps me.

with the lyrics and it's really fun. It's lovely. Again, something I uh when. I saw it, I thought this is not. something I'd have thought of. And or if. I had thought of, I might have dismissed. it immediately. But incredible. And it's. incredible. >> It feels good under from the inside. Put. it that way. >> Um Derek, uh. >> you're pointing at me now. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Passed me to you. Yes. >> He also said your name. So. >> yeah, I thought that. >> woke woke me right up. >> I thought I thought the name was Yeah.

Yeah. the main indicator, not the. pointing, >> but that's a bonus. >> Okay. You get both. You get the pointing. and the name. Derek, uh, you've. confounded me instantly. Uh, you run a. shop that sells I glue. >> No, it's not a shop. There's no profit. It is the. >> same business as. No, but. >> I kind of zinged you there. Sorry, man. >> No, it's it's okay. But here here's a. different situation. >> Yeah, mine's deliberate. Okay.

>> People would say to me over the years, you know, and and not just me, but bass. players generally, "Well, you guys are. kind of the glue, you know, that hold. the band together because these other. guys are, you know, up there." And. >> unglued. >> Unglued. Yeah. >> And one day I just thought, "Glue?". as you don't think about glue all that. often.

>> Never. >> I hardly ever think about it. >> No. >> Well, I did and I became I guess you'd. say fixated. Well, you wouldn't, but I'd. say fixated. >> Yeah. >> Uh and I've opened a museum of glue. >> It's a museum. That's right. Oh, some. museums are for profit. So, I think I. redeemed myself there. Um but we should. move on. I think I'm getting into a. little bit of a call conversational. culde-sac, if you will. Yes. No, I'm. just wondering why you're here. >> Yeah,

>> it's a good question. Really, >> I'm feeling that way myself. Gentlemen, um. I it has to sting that the Rock and Roll. Hall of Fame has refused to induct you. You have such a body of work. There's a. lot of it of what you do. U people can. debate the quality, but there's a lot of. it. There's a tremendous amount of what. you did. And you you have to admit, Marty, it's it's it's a shock. And the. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame did not just.

pass on them. They sort of stepped. outside their lane a little bit. >> Yeah. I think they said they they you. know, they made a letter. They said, and. the letter came back, uh, go. yourself. >> So unusual in so many words. >> A little harsh. >> That's not Hall of Fame language. No, >> no. It's just uh terrible, you It was uh. and they rarely send a letter like that. They have Millie Vanilli I think got. one. But. >> Millie Vanilla. Yeah, >> they got two. >> They got two. Very nice.

>> Milly and Vanilla. >> Yes. >> Right. >> But here's the irony. >> Are you pointing at me? >> I am pointing at you. So I'm pointing I. didn't say your name. >> You don't know my name. >> I I do. >> It's like it's that Spider-Man meme. So. >> bit frightening to be in the middle of. it. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will not. admit us, but in the gift shop they sell. Hello Cleveland t-shirts. It's true. Yeah, >> it's not. It's not right. >> No, >> it's not right. And you should I hope.

you're getting a taste of that. >> No, you're not getting a taste. >> No. >> Well, I'm getting a taste, but that's a. different thing. I just said it tastes. like burnt toast. >> That's a stroke symptom. I just want you. to know. >> No, no, no, no, no. >> You're a doctor, I suppose. Well, uh, I've watched enough. television. Yeah, I feel I can diagnose. anyone. >> Um, >> where do they hide the cameras? I'm I'm. a little bit confused. >> They're all fil. >> That's a camera right there. >> Each person must have one.

>> Yeah, there's one right there. >> Especially the New Zealander. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Can't trust them. >> Where in New Zealand are you from? >> I'm from Oakuckland, >> of course. >> Oakuckland. Really? I was there. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's a lovely town. >> Have you guys played Auckland? Yeah, we. we did a a thing there. I can't remember. what it was, though. >> These are terrific stories. >> No, no, no, no. I I don't want to. embarrass you. No. Stand up. Not. literally, but can you Where where are. you? >> There we Oh, yeah. This is another.

stroke sympto. >> I uh I didn't meet you there. No. >> Yeah. You look familiar. from not meeting you there. Gentlemen, let's address uh let's address a very. dark subject. You've lost countless. drummers. How many, Marty, has it been? >> Well, according to the band, I think. it's 12. >> Yeah, I think it's 12. The last. >> even dozen. Even dozen. >> An even dozen. Uh and this latest film, and I'm not going to give anything away, but it begins with you uh looking for a.

new drummer. Um why why not just use a. drum machine? >> We tried that. It died. plugged it in. That's true. Go about 10 bars into the. tune and then it went, "No, I'm out.". >> Fizzled. >> Yeah. Just uh Yeah. >> Just left this burn mark on the desk. >> Incredible. All right. Well, >> I I don't think it's giving anything. away from the film, but if you want uh. what happened to the last drummer that.

you had, Skippy Scuffle. >> Yeah. Skippy Scuffle. or Scuffy. Skippleton or Skiffy Scppelton. We never. could get it straight. He had some. entirely different name that he got paid. through. But he had a terrible allergy. to something. I thought it was the. little berries inside the the the. maracas that make the seeds. >> I think he was allergic because he'd. never used them before. And he he played. about half the day and then he said,

"I'm feeling funny." He started sneezing. and he never stopped until it all. stopped. So it was it was pretty sad. He. sneeed himself. >> Is that the actual coroner's report that. he sneezed? >> No, there's a Latin term for that. It's. a real thing. >> Any Latins in? >> No. >> What's the Latin term for sneezing. yourself to death? >> I don't know. But there is one because. it's a medical. >> Well, you know, there's a German one. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Gazuntite. >> Yeah. There you go. Um I uh I I was I.

mean so much so much to catch on you. catch up on with you guys because again. it's been I know you've had your. reunions uh but 41 years since the last. film. And. >> can I ask you why you keep putting on. and taking off your glasses? >> I like to create different looks. throughout the podcast. Um yes. I found. it best especially in an audio. >> medium. In an audio medium, it's good to. have two looks as opposed to one.

>> No, I'm I'm you know, can I just have. you ever thought you asked? >> Have you ever thought of a hat? >> I have thought of a hat, but that would. obscure the hair, which is the. trademark. You really think about it? >> Well, contact lenses. Imagine taking out. your contact lenses to make a point. >> Yeah. >> Here, Senator. would be tough. Very difficult. >> How dare you, sir? I am able to do this in an interview is. whip them off. Fantastic. And it was. that incredible. >> I wasn't being critical. I thought. >> it came across as critical.

>> Oh, look, you're so sensitive. That's. why people like you, though. >> Yeah. >> No, it's true. It's true. >> You um I have to ask you because I'm a. bit of a guitar enthusiast myself. >> Who are you talking to now? >> I'm pointing to you. >> Okay, everyone. >> I've noticed uh that uh Nigel, you have. no peripheral vision. None. You couldn't. see a camera that's right there. And you. have no idea where I am right now. >> Well, I do. I could pinpoint it if you. gave me a compass. >> Has it hurt you in rock and roll to have.

no peripheral vision? >> No. >> No. I I do have I can see this. I can. see this. So, I do I was just being. cheeky. >> What was your question? >> I don't remember. Uh. >> you have a guitar that I absolutely. adore. It's it's it's a guitar that's. it's beautiful. It has the Union Jack on. it, but if you turn the guitar over, and. this is featured in the film, >> I surprise. Yeah, >> I don't want to give it away. >> Well, you have, but go ahead. >> I haven't said what it is. There's a. secret compartment.

>> in the guitar. I adore this guitar. And. it's got a You have to see the film to. see this guitar. It's wonderful. Can is. that available for purchase? Could I buy. one or is there only one and is it. yours? >> Uh, they made one. >> Yeah. >> It's just mine. Okay. Okay. >> I'm getting the feeling you want me to. give it to you, though. >> I'm glad you brought that up. >> No, I don't. Yeah, it's a wonderful. guitar. Yeah, I have many, many guitars, and that's one of the really good ones. Yeah. >> Now, you did invent that, though. You.

You did. I did. I came up with the idea. for it, and they built it for me. >> Some of your inventions are are great. And. >> I have other inventions. Yes. Which uh. have not been as successful. >> No. >> Would you finger balls for dogs? >> Yeah. That was never going to happen. >> Well, I had this folding wine glass, you. see. >> True. >> Because I thought if you if you're going. on a picnic. >> and you don't want to carry things, you. know, you want to just throw everything. in. The glass folded in on four sides.

>> So, it had hinges on all the sides. >> Were they completely waterproof? >> No. >> So, what would happen? If you're. pouring, let's say, a ballet, whatever, it doesn't really matter. Could be a. medok or whatever, you know, 81. It. could be a whatever it is. Shaton, it. could be any number of. >> just two more. Just two more, please. >> Just a few more. Yeah. >> And you pour it in and it just would. leak out the bottom. >> So by the time you raise it to your. lips, you you your your crotch was.

soaked in wine. >> Yeah. >> That was that one. You know, Marty, I want to bring you. back in because there are some moments. in the documentary and I I don't care if. I'm giving anything away in the new one, but I was stunned. At one point, the. lads, I'll call you the lads, >> uh, even though you all served bravely. in the Korean War. Um, >> I want to I want to say, settle down. I. want to say I was stunned when Sir Paul.

McCartney. >> enters the rehearsal space and starts. jamming with them. It was I mean even as. a viewer as someone who's met uh. McCartney myself countless times. probably more than you guys have and. spent a lot of quality time with him. Um. I was. I mean he's on my speed dial. We talk. three times a day. >> But my point is it was such a stunning. moment and I was he is the uh royalty of. rock. He enters the room and I'm going. to say this right now, David. I didn't. think you were I didn't think you were.

kind to him initially. you seemed a. little well, you know, that that's a. two-way street. I mean, um, we all have. this picture of Paul and he's the cute. beetle and all that, >> you know, let's not go nuts here. I. mean, he's just a person, you know, and. he comes in and he's just throwing his. weight around. I'm not going to tell you. what it is. It was it was difficult for. me because I'm a creative person. He's a. creative person, but that doesn't mean. we're going to be on the same page. We.

were we were stunned, tell you the. truth, when he came into the room and as. he went through his whatever he was. doing, it struck me odd. Then he never. mentioned your name. >> I know. You'd think. >> he never brought up Conor O'Brien one. time. >> No, no, >> that's odd. I'll talk about that with. Paul when I see we usually meet for Fla. >> in West Hollywood around this time. >> He didn't mention any O'Brien. >> Okay. I have a fear of Flan.

>> Really? Okay. >> That will be expuned from the. >> Don't trust it. You will not That will. be edited out. The fear of Flan. We. won't have. >> It's better if people don't know it. >> But but Marty, you were there when this. amazing uh meeting of the rock gods. happened and you knew to keep the. cameras rolling. >> Well, of course. And then were you at. all stunned that David was Paul offered. one hint for a bridge on the song and. then David was less than gracious to Sir.

Paul McCartney. How did you feel about. that moment? >> Well, uh, you know, as as. I see, I put David on the same level as. Paul McCartney. >> That's very true. to me. >> Oh, >> they. >> and from one musician, I don't take. sides on this, and from one musician to. another, he was basically denigrating uh. what uh what David was what David was. putting forth. Now, in all fairness, so.

was Nigel and so was Derek. They both. hated what he was doing. So, it was kind. of three against one. But, I mean, I. >> That's the great flaw in a democracy, isn't it? >> What? I think I've jumped ahead, >> but trust me, you'll catch it. >> Um, and uh I Nigel, Sir Elton John, uh, joining joining you guys and and. revealing that he's a fan and has been a. fan. >> Yes. Well, you know, it works both ways.

as he says. He's very sensitive chap. You know, I've known him since we were. kids. He's very sensitive. So the thing. that with S Paul I wasn't surprised at. that because he reacts like that. sometimes with Sir Elton two sirs. amazing you know it was just he was so. open to playing with us it was great it. was really fantastic I thought you know. >> two sers no madam. >> nice. >> very nice.

>> again I'm going to end all word play now. there'll be no more word play. >> um this I think there's going to be one. more before we go. >> Um, I won't say again. I don't want to. spoil anything. Uh, I hope you've mended. fences uh with Elton. There's. >> Oh, yeah. Oh, no. No. Yeah. >> Some things happen and you're going to. have to see this for yourself. >> You know, I meant to ask you that, you. know, afterwards. Did Did he ever sue? Were there was there any lawsuits? >> No, I didn't do anything.

>> No. No. >> Wouldn't he have sued you as well? >> Uh, probably. >> Yeah. >> Well, I got news for you. >> Good news. Uh this is a as of an hour. ago you've all been served. >> You are being sued. >> Oh. >> yeah. And it's a figure that's. >> Well, it won't matter much, will it? >> Why is that? >> What was that? What are they going to. take? >> No. Sir Elton John is taking possession. of your cheese and guitar shop as I've. been told. >> Don't think so. I don't think there's. people in the village where I live with.

my girlfriend. Um, >> how how come you put quotes around? >> Yeah. Why did you put quotes around. girlfriend? >> That's for me to know, isn't it? >> She's great. >> Nice. >> She's exactly what you've needed all. along. >> Yes. >> Really? It's true. Lovely girl. >> No, but the it's a cheese shop. The. people in the village love it. They. wouldn't allow that to be taken away, boarded up, anything. They're the town loves Elton John and. they're thrilled that he's taken away. >> Yeah. Well, you've never been to the.

town, so you don't know that. You're. just. >> reading what I know. I read the local. >> reading what you don't know is what you. know. >> All right. Well, if we're going to this. is getting contentious and I'm. uncomfortable and I feel a little bit. like Paul McCartney sitting in a spinal. tap unwelcome. >> Um, gentlemen, uh, I there's so many. more questions I have for you. One is, uh, you two fellows grew up together in. Squattney, I believe. >> Squatney. Yeah. East End of London. East. >> I've never heard of Squatney. >> Well, it's gone. It's it's it's gone.

now. How could it be gone? Because most of it's been replaced by a. Tesco's. supermarket. >> Every city has areas that change or they. renamed. Do you know this? >> Yes. But when you said it was gone, I. just. >> It's gone in the It's not We can go to. the street where we were, but it's not. called that anymore. They incorporate. other things and then they have a new. name or whatever. The thing. >> the pub that we used to go to, the. Queen's Lips. >> Yeah. Not there. It's gone. Now it's an. Apple store. >> Yeah. It it's just all change. It was a.

workingass neighborhood. >> Lovely. >> Has there any if you go to Liverpool, you will see a literal statues of the. Beatles everywhere you go. Um. >> is it like that if you go to Squattney? I mean you are you are heroes in. Squattney. Is there any memorial? And. and Marty, do you think there should be. in Squatney? >> Well, of course there should be, but uh. as they say, they've changed this place. so much. I don't know that the young. people of today would even know who. those what those statues represented.

>> I don't think I would know. >> Definitely. >> If you saw a statue to yourself, you. wouldn't recognize that statue. >> Have you ever seen the statue of Lucille. Ball in her hometown? >> Yes. >> You've seen that, right? Yeah. >> We don't want that. >> Well, they wouldn't put a statue of. Lucille Ball there. They'd put a statue. of you. >> They'd put a statue of Lucille Ball. before they'd put one of us. Yeah, I. think that's a fair point. >> Yeah, >> Derek, uh. >> this. >> what a journey uh for you to go from.

being this iconic rock star to having a. glue museum, a non-forprofit glue museum. >> and uh when you got the call that this. was happening, you were getting back. together with the band. Explain your. emotional roller coaster. >> No, not so much a roller coaster as a. merry ground. >> So, still a wheel but turning and. horizontal direction as opposed to a. vertical direction. >> Okay. All right. Okay. That's a good. differentiation. >> Thank you. >> Um, you know, I I I didn't just have the.

glue museum. I was doing some telly work. and commercials and adverts, things like. that. >> But you also played with the symphony. orchestra. >> I did some of that. Yeah. But uh I was. promoting a a crypto uh product called. Bgalcoin. >> Balcoin. Yeah. Um, but I was happy to. join the lads. Um, >> in theory. >> In theory. Yeah. >> Um, it's it's been bumpy since. But, uh, >> it's been a long time. It's 15 years.

since we spoke in between. >> But I kind of like the bumps. >> What is that noise? >> Uh, please. They're doing other. podcasts. Very popular ones all around. us. >> Um, huge huge rock bands. Um, gentlemen, you. it the mind boggles at the journeys that. you have taken in rock and roll. financially. How are you doing? >> Oh, I get by. You know, I uh my uh my my. friend uh Maria, I mentioned her before,

my my living chef uh and significant. other. Uh she she does marvelously well. on the catering circuit in the central. coast. >> Okay. >> And uh so I don't have to worry about a. thing really. I do all these other. musical things. They they pay some of. the rent and all this. And like I say, I. enjoy a certain. >> Is Maria new to you because she wasn't. there when I first visited on and off on. and off for six or seven years. Yeah.

>> You know, you you might meet her one. day. >> First time hearing about it. >> Yeah. No, I think financially, you know, I I the the shop seriously does get by, the cheese shop. We do make enough. We. have a small house just outside the. village and uh I'll get some residuals, as you'd call them here, royalties and. things for music that we do. So, I still. get and I play in a pub. I'm playing in. a pub with a group, which is uh that. doesn't pay at all actually. Well, this. I guess the point I'm making and I I I.

don't want to tread on a sensitive area. or be in any way um cruel or rude. Um. but I'm just going to go for this. Uh. you guys are an iconic rock band. If you. look at other rock bands from your era, I mean Rolling Stones, um the Beatle, I. mean anyone involved in those groups is. fantastically rich. We're talking about. billionaires. Billionaires. >> in some cases cases. >> Paul Rev and the Raiders rolling in it. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. There lots of. people that didn't make a lot of money.

Lots of people. Most people didn't make. a lot of money. The famous ones, as the. ones you mentioned, obviously did, but. there are lots and lots of people, hundreds of bands who played that were. famous for a minute or two. Nothing. They have nothing. >> Well, Freddy and the Dreamers, for. example, >> again, I have the facts on my. fingertips. Freddy and the Dreamers are. in the Forbes 500 last year. >> No, you you don't. >> Hugely hugely hugely successful. front. in front of Freddy's and the dreamers. anymore. >> No more Jerry in the pacemakers.

>> I I have to be I have to be honest with. you. That's one of the reasons I. rejoined the band was financial. difficulties. >> Thank you for being honest. >> Thank you for noticing it. >> Yeah. >> I had been as I told you promoting this. cryptocurrency. >> Yes. >> And they paid me in cryptocurrency. >> Yeah. >> When they went under, I went under. >> Yes. So you have less than nothing. You. have. >> I'm working my way back to nothing. >> You you also Derek I I I remember we.

didn't talk about it but I think you. also tried to start an amusement park a. Tapland like Dolly Dollywood. Didn't you. try to uh get uh them to make a an. amusement park themed park uh based on. tap? >> I thought about it. >> Well, you did think about it because you. asked for money to us. >> Well, yeah. about that. >> We sent you money. We sent you money. >> You sent him money to create a final.

attack. And where where did this money. go? When you got the money from Nigel, what did you do with the money? >> Built the glue museum. >> They don't grow on trees, you know. >> Well, rubber trees. >> Yeah. Rubber tree actually comes from. the tree. >> It's a terrible example. >> What's the difference between glue and. since I'm sitting with an expert, >> Yeah. >> between glue and mucelage? Mucilages got animal fat. >> Ah, very good. What about epoxy? Now, some people think I'm taking us into a.

very dry area. >> See for it to dry. >> Yeah. >> Okay, that's that is it. That is it. We're not having any more word. Don't. applaud that. >> We're not having it. >> What do you mean? Some people think I. just think there's probably a discerning. person in the audience. >> Epoxy. epoxy, which I use on a daily. basis, by the way. Epoxy. >> This is not an advert. Completely different animal than what he. does. Completely different thing. It's.

It's a scientific thing that has no. organic. >> I see elements at all. What do you mean. you use it on a daily basis? What do you. do with it on a daily basis? >> Oh, what you iron sides or something? What is this? >> Iron sides. >> Bloody hell is that? Oh, I'm a. detective. I'm going to find out what. he's. all about. You watch television. I'm. just curious. >> I don't have a television show. >> Well, I have to tell you, no one's.

referenced Iron Sides, the TV show. starring Raymond Burr in over 47 years. >> And that's my fault. Yeah. Well, okay. Look. Okay. So, >> I liked it when it was out in the ' 70s. We get them after you had it here. Of. course. What was the name of the bloke. who pushed him around? It was a. >> that's all I recall is there was someone. pushing them around. >> I I love I'm getting into some areas I. didn't think we'd get into who pushed. Iron Sides around on the original series.

and that's something for. >> if one of you can answer that. Well, just keep it to yourself basically. >> Well, did you have you've now come back. together again and I know there's some. difficulties that are well discussed and. well chronicled in the documentary. Do. you have. do you feel enthusiastic about the. future of tap? >> Uh well it's two different things. The. future and tap. >> The future of tap is one thing. No I see. >> what happens to you guys in.

>> word at play right there. >> Okay listen ever point at me. individual opinions on that as well. you. know. >> Well, are you enthusiastic about the. future of. >> I I'm positive generally and think it. might be possible to. regroup again. Yeah, it's possible wide. open. Listen, whatever works. >> Possible. Yeah. >> Okay. Wow. That's a very This is a nice. and. >> if you you. depending on maybe your financial. >> Well, depending on whether we call him. is the is the thing. Well, if we called.

him Inzy outsy, then. >> and if you did and if you did reunite, do you think there's another film there? >> Go to hell. >> It's as good a place to end as any. Uh, gentlemen, I'll say it again. Uh, I saw the first. film in 1984. It introduced me to you. and your work and, uh, it changed my. life in many ways. Uh, I don't say this. often. Wait a minute. I say it just. about every time constantly. It's an. honor to have you here. here. I mean,

I think there's just. been thousands and thousands of hours. and I've talked to so many people. There's no nervous anymore, but there is.

um a moment before I go out where I look. at I think about what I'm going to talk. about and I get with certain people and. I get very focused. Um, and so yes, if. you're in a room and you know you're. about to talk to say a former president, uh, and then suddenly you hear him enter. the room, you get very focused. Does. that make sense? It's not nerves. It's. just, okay, this is moments that you.

need to spend very well and be very. focused on. >> So you don't have to fight through. anything? >> Uh, I don't think I have to fight. through anything anymore. I and this. sounds like a joke, but I just think. I've been through so much that at this. point um it's hard to summon that. That. was probably probably more in my earlier. life in my 20s and early 30s. But at. this point, I think all of my dignity.

has been shredded and I'm just I don't. know. I I I I there's a it is I'm being. truthful. I think there's a Okay, let's. see what happens. Does anything make you. nervous? Anything else? >> What do you mean? Am I capable of. feeling? Am I like the guy who scales? >> Do you have feelings? >> Is it like free? Is it like free solo? Do I not have the part of my brain? >> Uh yeah, I would fear. >> um there are plenty of things I would. fear. Uh but not getting up in front of. people. >> Not getting up in front of people. But.

um that doesn't bother me. But, uh, yeah, I think, um, making a terrible. financial decision would frighten me cuz. I think I'd be blamed and mocked, you. know. >> I thought you were going to say. something about your like family. >> No. God, no. You can always get another. family. Um, hey, nice to meet you. And. good question. Whose alarm is going off? >> I think it's someone's sincerity alarm. Did you hear a beeping sound? No, >> I Nope. Someone. Did you hear it? Anyone? Oh my god. I think I'm very ill. >> Wow. >> Yes. How can I help you, sir? Um, so I.

was wondering outside of This Is Final. Tap, what's your favorite Christopher. Guest movie? >> Oh, wow. I'm gonna say Waiting for. Guthman. >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah, I love Waiting for Guffman. I. mean, I can just watch it endlessly. It's it's uh Yeah, >> but it's I mean, the guy, he's uh genius. level funny. Uh, and I So, I'm delighted. by so much of his work. >> So, so a follow-up code follow. >> No, you guys are getting out of here. I.

don't like the way this is going. Go. ahead, sir. >> So, when you saw uh This is Final Tap in. 1984, was that like. >> So, for me, watching The Simpsons. ladies, early '90s, that was my first. look at satire and parody ever. >> Yeah. >> So, for you, can you think of anything. cuz Monty Python was a bit more sketch. comedy and less satire and parody in a. in a direct sense? >> Yep. >> Do you think this is Spinal Tap was like. helped mold you into wanting to do. satire? >> Definitely. Definitely. I mean, there's. nobody my from my era um who wasn't. influenced by that film. I believe that.

there's a period of your life that only. happens once. music, comedy, all the things that are. important to you can hit you in a very. pure, unadulterated way and then a. window closes. It doesn't close. completely, but there's a period in your. life and it's like it's like 15, 16, 17. And for me, that was SCCTV. Definitely Monty Python. Um, you know, Cluso films, select Ones, uh, with Peter. Sers. There were just things that were.

moments on Saturday Night Live. Um, there were things that just hit me. directly mainlined into my brain stem. And 1984, I'm working for this College. Humor magazine. I've sworn myself. I. it's like a I remembered saying I don't. care if I totally never make a penny if. I'm if it never goes anywhere. I'm gonna. devote myself to comedy. I recently. cleaned out my parents house and I found.

all these comedy ideas I was writing. when I was like 19 20 and they're not. good. And there's a at the bottom of one. page I was writing them on a typewriter. Um, and no one was even computers. existed at the time, so I don't know. I'm still writing things on a. typewriter, but I in ink at the bottom I. had reviewed my work and said, "Please, comedy gods, help me to do better than. this crap." I mean, I was so hard on. myself. And so, and that's the age I am. when I go to this theater in like. Austin, Massachusetts, and see where.

we're from. >> All right. You are being arrested. Um, >> you look amazing, by the way. You look. lovely. Um, but uh, yeah, I I saw this a. spinal tap and you you I think a lot of. us had the same feeling, which is this. is a way of being funny that was so. ahead of its time. And if you think. about The Office and Parks and Wreck and. all these shows that do. reportage kind of mockumentary style, it.

to me it really starts with I know the. Rutles precedes that, but the real pure. dose is Spinal Tab. So meant everything. to me. Great question. >> He he got the mic, but he's my husband, so he gave it to me. Oh, that's such a. nice that. >> I think he might have an actual. question, but Oh, this is so awkward. >> No, no, no. Don't Don't worry about it. >> I uh I It's more of a Can I give you a. gift or something? I'm um I'm an.

illustrator and I drew a picture of you. >> Oh my god. Bring it on up. That's so. nice. Come on up. Check it out. That's so cool. That's so. nice. >> I can't show everyone the whole thing. >> What is it? >> Cuz I think I might get in trouble with. work if I show you the whole thing. >> Oh, I shouldn't. Will I get you in. trouble? Do you want this out? You can. show it and edit it out. >> You can show You can show that. >> You just yell things. >> Take off your pants. >> Put a stapler in your ass. What?

>> Yeah, I see what this is. I can show. this. That's so great. This is me. looking at I mean, we may have to I. think it's been made public, actually. >> Okay, good. Good. >> Yes, this is the character I'm going to. play in Toy Story 5, whose name is. Smartyp Pants. Um, that's right. I love that. And why? Who do you work. for? >> Uh, Disney Pixel. >> I see. So, >> well, you're not only fired, but they're. going to pursue you the rest of your. life. >> I hope none of them like you.

>> Do you work up at the Bay Area? >> No, no, Glendale. But I do visit. Emeryville sometimes. >> Okay. So, I'm uh working on the Toy. Story 5. I have a character in it, which. is one of the coolest things I've been a. part of. And I got to go up to the Pixar. studios in the Bay Area and they showed. me all the offices and all these iconic. things and it was like Willy Wonka is. saying, "Do you want to see my my. chocolate factory?". >> That's crazy. Yeah. I've seen the. offices before too just once and it was.

it was kind of mind-blowing. >> Yeah. Well, you you guys are so talented. and so cool. Did you actually make this. yourself? >> So, I work on product. So, I work on. things like I drew Smarty Pants for. product, but it doesn't look as like. nice. It's like for kids, so they really. wanted to. >> That's all right. That's all right. You're doing well. I love it when. creative, talented people just find a. way to make their mark on the world. That's really impressive to me. >> It's It's good to be here because I was. in legal for 9 years before this. And. it's it's. >> You escaped hell. >> I escaped hell. >> Yes.

>> And I'm not putting down lawyers, but. you're terrible people. >> Sorry. >> And what is your Let's give a shout out. to What is your husband's name? >> Jonathan. Jonathan. John. >> You forgot his name for a second, didn't. you? >> This marriage is in terrible trouble. He. surrendered the microphone out of fear. Are you an a Is he a creative person as. well? >> He likes to write poems. >> Oh, that's lovely. >> Recite. >> Wait a minute. Recite. >> You stand up and say recite it. >> I I can say he did spoken word at our.

wedding and I was mortified. >> Wait, but wait a minute. >> I'm going to stick up for him. I think a. that's lovely that you would do that. That guy's got I mean that's very cool. >> Yeah, it is. >> I'm I'm You know what? I wanted someone. to do spoken word at my wedding and. someone did. >> It was just a It turned out it was just. a drunken diet tribe about the many ways. I've people over in life by my. new wife. Um uh lovely to meet you.

Thank you so much for this and give my. best to the gang at uh Pixar. You're. really talented. So cool. Very cool. Now I'm just cruising around. like a creep. Hey, how are you? Oh, how are you? You. scared of me now, right? Love the hair. >> Fant. >> Uh, anybody else? I can just go to you. and have a question. Yes. How are you, sir? What do you have? Just shout it. out. >> Okay, thank you. Uh, so first I want to. say thank you very much. >> I'm going to get behind you in case you. prove to be dangerous.

What is your name? >> Christopher. >> Christopher. Okay. >> Oh, can you use the mic on him real. quick? >> Oh, what's that? Hold on. Watch this. I'll do it. I've watched game shows. What's your name again, sir? >> My name is Christopher. >> Christopher. Nice to meet you. >> Nice to meet you. >> I'm moving a microphone between us, so. this conversation will be staccato. Is. that okay with you? >> That is very okay with me. >> Okay. Where'd you get the outfit? >> Uh H&M.

>> Okay. Terrific. Wonderful company, but. not a sponsor. They can go to hell. Um. what's your question sir? >> Uh so my question is what do you use for. your hair and when can we expect a hair. care uh line from you? >> You know what? Okay this is a great. question. This is a terrific question. because my manager Gavin Palone a true. animal uh who I've been with since like. 1992. He's always wanting me to be. involved with some kind of product. He. says there's a lot of money in that. stuff man. And I'll say that's not me. I.

don't do that. But then we did come up. with an idea a while ago and we just. haven't done it, which is a pomade. A. pomade. Uh where's my uh illustrator. friend? There we go. A pomade, but like. it's got that cool kind of 1930s. It. comes in a that tin and it's got like a. cool logo and it's the Conan pomade. And. I'm telling you, it would be the goop of. the modern era. >> It's not I was just referencing the. company, but it would be, you know, cuz. that's done great for Gwyneth. I mean,

she drives around in nine Bentleys. strapped together that all say suck it. Um, which you can't have more than one. license plate that says the same thing, but she got around it cuz she's Gwyneth. Uh, I think a pomade. I think a pomade. like and a couple of pomades. What do. you think? >> I I'll buy it right now. >> What's that? Say again. >> If you have it, I'll buy it right now. >> Okay. Well, you seem like a sap. Um, I'll buy anything. Uh, I I I'm going to. I'm going to somehow make this happen. a. Conan pomade and I'll donate all the uh.

Well, no, I'm not going to say that. That's just stupid. I mean, what if it. really blows up? I'll say this. If it. doesn't do well, I'll donate the. proceeds to a good cause. If it does. really well, I'm buying an island. somewhere. Okay. Uh and I'm just going. to go there and be a total freak. Um. >> All right. So, yeah. What's that? >> I said Conade and then I got really. embarrassed I did that. So, I don't. >> I've never known you to be embarrassed. about anything you've said. I know cuz I. said it so quietly and no one heard it. and I was like I got away with it and.

then you turned around to me and asked. >> No, I sensed that you were in danger. >> Yeah. >> I'm like a T-Rex that sees movement. I. If someone slightly misspeaks, I can see. for 900 miles. >> True. >> So true. >> I Yeah, I'm like this pomade idea. I'm. telling you, it could have like a cool. logo that looks like it's like kind of. from the 20s and it's. >> What's that? >> Outline of your hair. >> Outline of my hair, but you know what I. mean? has that needs just the right. font. I've got to get right the right. mixture of different spices and oils. I.

want it to be something you can also eat. if you're hungry. I want to I want to. put a little protein in it so there's a. little bit of you know cow collagen in. there and you can just put it in your. hair then go like I'm feeling tired and. a little I want there to be little tiny. pieces of bacon inside. goes in your hair. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Duh. All right. >> What's with dummy over here? I love this. I think this is a fantastic. idea. All right. Well, tell me if I've. gone off the rails. Oh, how many more.

should we take? What's that? Did you. have a question? >> Okay. How are you? What's your name? >> What's your name? Yeah. I just like. wandering around, but use the mic. It's. good. Cuz because this is all going to. end up on the podcast. Hi, how are you? Nice to see you. Really delighted. Nice. I saw you ladies backstage. Don't know. how you got back there. It frightened. me. Yes. Go ahead. I was I was just. letting you smoo which totally cool. >> Like a wingman. That's very cool. You're. like, "Oh, Conan's talking to these. ladies up front. I better give him his.

space so that he can cheat on his wife.". >> No, absolutely. >> How dare you turn against Liza like. that? >> No, absolutely not. >> Anyway, drinks later. >> I also had another movie question. Yep. Um, and it's probably open-ended, but. you're obviously like the creator of. your universe. And going into. >> What are you talking about? Do not give. him any ideas. >> Everyone with everyone. >> The creator of my universe. I'm looking. at the people out here so that they feel. included. >> You It's the guy that high-fived me. I.

don't do well with them. I don't get a. good connection. It's not you. You what? Your elbow. >> No, I think he wants to elbow. >> Okay, sir. I No, I'm sorry. I will take. your question in one second. You had a. question about me creating the universe. and then this guy. >> Go ahead, sir. >> So, I will teach you how to give a. perfect high five every time. But I. don't like doing them. >> Then I will not teach you how to give a. perfect high five. >> Teach me so I know how to do it if I. need to do it. Go ahead. >> I'm assuming you're right-handed. >> Yes, I am, sir. >> Then hold the mic with the left.

>> You look what a dick. >> I'm being mansplained and I'm a man. >> All right. >> All right. You look at my elbow and I'm. going to look at your elbow. On the. count of three, we got 1, two, three. >> Yeah, yours was much stronger than mine. and it pulled my elbow out of my socket, >> my shoulder. I'm bleeding into my shirt. >> I'm going to do that. I'm going to. start. But you know what? A lot of. people. >> You're doing it hard on purpose. >> So are you. >> What's that? What? >> Oh, you have your own podcast going on. over here.

>> There's a lot of people There's a lot of. people on the street, and this is that. gets me. Sometimes people are maybe 30. yards away and they'll be like turn. and they stand there like the. Statue of Liberty and. click, you know what I mean? And then. it's they've been eating a sloppy joe. They haven't washed their hands. It's a. mess. Sir, what's your name? >> Hypes. >> Okay. Hypes ceremonies for air guitar. >> Oh, you're the you're the air guitar. guy. I could tell there was something. about you that uh caused me an. existential dread. Well, best of luck to.

you. Your parents must be thrilled. Let's shake it out. >> Thank you so much. >> Nice to meet you, sir. Um, well, you're. in for a treat with Hypes. Hypes, the. master of air guitar. I'm so sorry your. name again. I, you know, when Hypes. takes over, I mean, he literally smashed. through the window. >> Totally fine. >> There's a reason they put him behind. that salad guard. >> It's totally fine. But back, it's your. movie with Rose Burns. >> Yes. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> If I had legs, I'd kick you. >> Yeah. And again, it's very open-ended, but like you obviously are you, you.

know, >> you said it like there's nothing that. can be done. >> No, I mean, >> tragically, you are you and this is a. condition from which no one. >> recovers. But it's just that shift, right? Like obviously you've acted all. the but even when I saw the trailer, I. was like, "Oh, wow. This is something. >> totally different." Yeah. >> And again, opened question. Why? >> There is no question there. That's okay. I I think I know what you're getting at, which is talk about that thing that you. did. Um, I'm thrilled because I got a uh.

it's an A24 film and I love their I mean. with I love everything A24 does. I get a. call to an A24 film. Uh the director. wants to show you a script that she's. written. Her name is Mary Bronstein. I. meet with her. She's got such a cool. vision. She writes this script that is. floors me. And then um Rose Burn is cast. and all my scenes are opposite Rose. And. I like anyone who's sentient adores Rose. Burn. I just adore her. I just think.

she's amazing. And so I do this uh I. took it really seriously. Um and Rose. gives this insane performance. Who here. has seen it? Have you seen it, Sona? You. haven't seen it? >> No. >> Who has? I think uh David, you saw it. And Rose, right? >> Oh my god, it's incredible. >> Here, step. You should have a. microphone, too. >> Oh, David saw it. That's cool. >> Yeah, because I took because you gave me. your job. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy for you. You know, >> Rose is incredible in it. >> It's just insane. And David was with me. during the shooting of it cuz that's. what a real assistant does. He comes.

with you and he it was a really. difficult time. And you were. >> You never shot movies when I worked for. you. So that's on you, bro. >> Okay. I guess it is. I guess it is. It's. my fault. >> Yeah. And he went to Pixar with you, too, didn't he? >> Yeah. We had so many. >> You know what's great? my career has. just blossomed into this wonderful. thing. And Sona stepped off the boat. Sona was on a boat that went to. Pittsburgh, Cleveland. Now we've hit the. Caribbean. And just beforehand, she. stepped off. I know.

>> So you screwed up, Sona. Anyway, uh it's. really fun. It was a great experience. I. I really think the movie is fantastic. and I credit completely. I mean, it's. really it's Mary Bronstein. It's Rose. Burn. Uh ASAP Rocky. I I'm in there, too. But I give it up totally for them. I just was uh so I love being a part of. that and I'm excited to hear what people. think when it comes out. >> I'm really excited to see you in like. like in that medium space, you know what. I mean?

>> Yeah. Not so shrill and needy. >> No, not necessarily that. >> words created by other people. >> You just seem so mean and like. unapologetic. >> Yeah. It's funny. I guess I'm a great. actor. I. >> I pretended and was able to act as if I. have a mean part of me. >> And it was just a complete. transformation. >> Uh unbelievable. No one can believe. But. I what I did is I read about people. being mean and cruel. >> And I tried to imagine what that was. like. And I'm like, >> okay. >> Uh.

>> don't like you and I don't like you. I think that is our show. This was, you. know, I'll say this. This is uh this was. just fun.
