how are you today I'm good it's kind of. weird because we set everything up and. we usually like get everything together. and then I just gotta sit over there and. yep chill and it's weird being in the. seat yeah man it's weird having you in. the seat man it's exciting I know you. are so for some of our listeners that. don't know Gianni is a an actor and. Gianni it just hit up the podcast like. maybe what a year ago and just said hey. man I like the podcast yeah I think. he'll melt through burn like right oh. that's right. so I filmed the movie in Mississippi.

kind of where Theo like grew up a little. bit yeah and um and then I just. remembered talking cuz I always talk. about comedy like I love it. yes listening the podcast onset like. while before like I would go and fill my. scenes I'd be listen to this past. weekend and one of the PAS came up to me. my friend Jeremy knocked on the door. he's like are you Santa Theo and I was. again like I love Theo and he's like oh. like burned like the guys that Smoots. down there like they all know Theo and I. was like really so we filmed the movie. whatever and then afterwards like um and.

no knows who burn is yeah burn is the. drummer in a bishop gun whose dad I used. to work on his farm in the summertime up. in Mississippi so so he was working as a. PA or as a transport or something on the. movie that you film track in in. Mississippi yeah and then so you ran. into one of his buddies and he's like Oh. burn knows him yeah and then that's how. it all came to pass yeah and then I was. like I'd love to help you know help the. podcast I love that listen to it you. know and you know I do social media. stuff so that's kind of how we all.

linked up and then yeah the rest is. history that's it been together for a. year and a year dude and so first I want. to talk about the movie so the movie is. Octavio Spencer is the lead of the movie. yes is that a safe term yeah okay she's. like the main lead okay and so and so. the movie is called MA and it comes out. May 31st so this is gonna air May 30th. so tomorrow it comes out okay. yeah Wow so the movie comes out tomorrow. and. several click so we got a bunch of white. kids going to drink in a black woman's.

basement right correct basically yeah. okay yeah we have one one there's. another african-american with us okay so. and is there any like is any of the. movies that I go is there racial stuff. in the movie or not really so much um. towards the end there's like you will. see it in the trailer or it does touch. on it a little bit but it's not right it. really has nothing to do with like the. film in that sense like it's just more. like yeah like a black woman can be a. serial killer too you know what I mean.

oh really yeah you just give away the. whole movie no no I'm just saying like. like it's possible for a black woman to. be like a villain Ryan I didn't mean she. says oh I see what you're saying oh yeah. I guess that's true hon they don't have. like a lot well I guess you've been just. growing up they didn't have like a lot. of black characters in in a lot of. movies I'm trying to think of like a. black villain that they had Grayskull. member that got from he-man well see. what I find interesting is like I like. would look in the internet and people. like would get upset that they'd be like. well why is the african-american the. villain like no that's like the total.

opposite of like what Octavia wants like. she wants to be the villain yeah she. wants to everyone can play every role. like there's not like she doesn't have. to play a nurse or a maid in every movie. right of course yeah and there's always. black like there's this thing out there. that's just black anger like any time a. black person like oh but like breathe. somebody's like oh what are they after. Burt you know yeah like a black person's. like oh they have to breathe in the same. planet as white people you know so. sometimes you just get that black anger. out there was it intimidating cuz your.

first like lead so so you're one of the. what do you play in the film I saw I. played Chaz he is a it's one of the. teens where we party with Octavia and. it's just like a high school kid there's. five of us and yeah and we meet Octavia. and she starts buying us booze and. alcohol or is it real booze when you're. on the move no it's just water oh yeah. so would think if they pretend to be. drunk yeah you have to like like also. there's also a scene there's a clip of. it in on the Instagram um where I like.

drink the water and I go uh-huh and I'm. like it's just literally water but you. have to like I guess play it as if it. was yeah but the worst part was the. [ __ ] joints like because I. smoked the whole movie and pretty much. every scene and I'm smoking the joints. and it's like fake tobacco oh so you're. like I'm waking up my lungs are fried. because I'm smoking it for like four. hours. right you still smoke yeah but it's not. even real tobacco would you rather have. been just regular tobacco I would have. rather it have been like maybe like like. like vape juice or like something like.

that like not because they would roll. joints like that like I would rather. have just vape the whole movie instead. of like just legitly cuz you're still. smoking like the spliffs is that what. they call them like the horse legs boy. yeah boy. of course Yanni's name is Chaz in the. movie. Swink name ever all my names have been. Brayden and Power Chaz. Brian forgot there was rated in Chaz yes.

dude those are such so I feel like those. are like white slave trouble dude no I'm. sorry. do you just ripping Jionni my name is. Gianni Paolo. sure it is you don't have an identity. boy your name is Randall yeah and you're. rushing a fraternity um so you get put. into a lot of roles I know you've said. this and so also so just to clarify so. also Johnny's done all the book and. Johnny came on has done all the booking. for almost all the guests that we've had.

really or reached out to him I've gotten. a couple hitters but yeah for the most. part for the most part you guys helped a. lot now you got a good thing going yeah. I know you guys have been great man you. guys put up with me a lot of times which. I know isn't easy especially over text. message and name five guests that we've. tried to get that we haven't got that. people love that they really want Danny. McBride okay I've tried a lot recently. Chris Pratt he's busy I'm just trying to. think of like the ones more recent like. Anna Faris like people who also have.

podcasts Dax Shepard like those are the. people who I have reached out to just. because they're kind of in that world. and it's realistic okay I like to boo. see little blue blue sea lil boosie we. got him yeah we tried pretty much in the. group everyone who's been like we really. want him I'm like I tried him three. months ago I tried him last week Amanda. knocks Amanda knocks we tried her a lot. so yeah we try like we Norman. we should kill a roommate that will get. her in here sorry I did that's best uh. and that's a joke if anybody's roommates.

ever died yeah um so we found almost. dead not like are we strategic about it. what's it like to reach out to somebody. and and could you do that you know it's. like what's that like um I don't mind it. just because it's publicist so it's like. they're people like I don't have Chris. Pratt's email you're right I don't like. to but it's Chris Pratt at gmail yeah so. I just read that the publicist and I'm. like listen well see I was talking to. Nick about this before you came in. uh-huh it kind of upsets me the whole. like what's going on now because a lot.

of people to go and promote movies. they're going on Kimmel they're going on. like like weird cable like cooking shows. and it to promote things the generic way. that it's always been done right and. that's not the way people are listening. anymore right they don't get the views. anymore it's podcast that's Joe Rogan. it's you it's Tiger belly like those are. the ones that that's what's getting the. listens from the Millennials and that's. what this movies about which is why I've. been going on podcast to promote yeah I. mean I wouldn't go on Kimmel anyway just.

because I'm not big enough but like this. is it this is like what the studio's. have to realize like this is where. people are gonna you know go to and it's. a full-length thing yeah like if they're. listening to a clip on Jimmy Kimmel and. they're talking about Zac Efron. you know his dick came out in a movie. scene or something like that who was on. a plane with Miki Austin he walked by. three times dude dude I love him I mean. like in like a straight way yep son of. return he was all tired when he was. welcomed by every time really yeah it. was he in first class with it was like. it can't be that tired and walking in.

all three times it's a yawning and. stretch yeah like he'd be like seven. fake yawns like it was almost a. cheerleader by the end of it where is he. coming from like where was this when he. went to New York to New York yeah but so. is it did you send yourself an email to. get booked on here then yeah I did I. sent myself a confirmation yeah we got a. reply yeah yeah weeks without a reply. who was the one that gee honey we missed. him because Jionni dropped the ball who. was it Callen yeah but I didn't drop the.

ball it was Bryan Callen yeah because he. pretended he never had the ball. knew Brian knew that he was coming on. this past weekend but it conflicted with. Rogen yeah so like they're right across. the wall so I assume they're gonna do. their episode and then just come he's. gonna walk in here after cuz I confirm. with him like a week before this yeah. and then he went on Rogan sit was like. oh you forgot you forgot about deal but. you went on Rogan okay yeah I think if. you hear the word Rogan just forget. about everything I don't I don't blame. them it's like I'm gonna rogue I'm gonna. go to Danny so here leg CPD.

that's mint-flavored yeah shout all. incoming Apothecary well do first of all. just want to say thanks so much man and. second of all yeah it's crazy it's. almost like we backdoored ourselves into. a guest with Jionni you know so yeah I. worked for 52 weeks just to get on this. podcast for free with one me undies a.

month okay got one pair they're supposed. to sing you which I'm wearing right now. are you really oh wow yeah there's a. good one yeah I'm telling you I've I. really adapted to these mediums he's not. they're not showing up for Gianni yeah. dude I didn't get my may [ __ ] thing. you know your water mediums yeah you. know what happened some of these boxes. but we definitely should get you some. more pairs so we uh when you're shooting. the film like how long does it take to. shoot to shoot a movie like for somebody. who doesn't know like me this took about. um I'd say four weeks and then we net it.

yeah and then we because it's a Blum. House film so they do like smaller. budgets you know not as you know big and. crazy as like the action movies those. probably take like three four months. right um yeah this was about four weeks. but then we did go back and do reshoots. because they wanted to you know fix him. stuff at the end yeah so total about. five weeks five and half weeks and was. that the most the first time he'd ever. spent really a lot of time in. Mississippi yeah it was the first time I. had ever been in Mississippi and I loved. it yeah like honestly like I would. consider getting out there because I.

loved it that much Wow yeah and do you. so now when you're on these sets they. look like get some ladies in there in. the film - were you guys like is there a. lot of like chicanery going on behind. the scenes like a lot of like you know. you know people you know meeting up at. night is it pretty low-key. well we'd uh since this was such a. smaller budget like you're filming like. for 13 14 hours a day so you like don't. have time like you like that whole day. is to film and like you got to be up in. the morning and get get going again but. I don't smoke or drink as you know so.

like that's not my thing like people. would go out to bars and stuff to party. that night I'd go right to bed make sure. I was off book for the next day I'd wake. up at 5 a.m. I had a personal trainer. because I had to get naked in the movie. so I had a personal trainer I had to. were you just did in every scene that. seems like something Jionni would do. yeah are you sure you don't want to take. your clothes ever like dude you're in. math class okay keep your [ __ ]. clothes on like all these books are. heavy yeah it sounds like a young Jocko. willing he's just getting everybody's. going out to parties waking up at 4:30.

training yes I rent I ran around. Mississippi like like I would run the. hills of Mississippi there's a hill you. know where the Magnolia Bluffs Casino is. yeah that big hill that goes up to where. the hotel is I would run that every. morning like 435 G and then I would go. to my personal trainer and lift man. that's crazy yeah and what would you do. then paint yourself green and just. attack people it's like you're very. Incredible Hulk it what do you think.

about Mississippi like what was your. some of your first thoughts whenever you. were there so day two so we went to the. hotel and we like kind of went around. the the town a little bit for the first. you know this isn't Natchez this is the. Natchez correct we stated the magnolia. blossom tell for a couple weeks so we. walked around there and I thought it was. incredible like we went to this place. called the pink pig the barbeque play. yeah been there so good I just like you. know cotton cotton alley cafe like a lot. of the places were momma's did you go to. that fat mom is a tamale place yeah we.

went there and I like I literally loved. it like I can't stress enough how much I. love Mississippi but day - yeah we're. filming we go to - we go to set we're. filming outside a liquor store and it's. in a pretty seedy area like where the. liquor store is and there is an urban. gentleman as you would say oh yeah he. comes out of his house and he starts. like like he's probably [ __ ] up on. something and he's like yelling like you. want a filmer no [ __ ] movie in front. of my house like getting like aggressive.

and then like a bunch of more as a cat. will. it was Pat Williams yeah he wanted to be. in the movie but he never roll for him. really if someone was getting aggressive. he has someone did get aggressive but. that was kind of the only like negative. experience and it's not even that. negative it's just some guy that was. yelling at us that was probably [ __ ]. up yeah but I did love it like the. people there were so nice I specifically. remember going to Mississippi and then I. would like if we go to the markets on. the weekends I'd be leaving and I'd be. like like like to the people with their.

cars full of stuff like thanks everyone. have a good weekend and everyone big oh. thank you so much man yeah and then the. next day I could like when I came back. to LA I went to the Whole Foods and I. went to turn I was like have a good week. and everyone everyone's like yeah get. out yeah you're the [ __ ] is this idiot. yeah Logan Paul was any earlier who the. [ __ ] are you yeah yeah yeah there is. something different it's just like. there's more value on just like but do. you think that that kind of stuff is. real sometimes I wonder if it's like. genuine or if there's just that people.

there's more time for people to spend. with each other so they even enjoy the. smaller things like even waving goodbye. to someone in Mississippi or Saint yeah. or just like in yeah in slower parts of. the country Mississippi is probably in. some ways that from the places I've been. one of the so like it's gets really slow. there you know I'm like if you pick up a. seashell off the ground you can. definitely hear slaves in the back and. deal in it like it's old-school you. understand like I still have there's. Civil War reenactments in the back of. every like Chevron there's like you know.

what I'm saying it has like right behind. a [ __ ] show nice oh dude it's very. yeah they got a show knees right there I. went there on Thanksgiving actually. really yeah some lady burned her hand in. the cobbler I remember and they had to. call the paramedics but but yeah it has. an old-school vibe doesn't it it does. I'll never say I think people are like. brought up with those values in. Mississippi yeah and not so much LA. because no one really gives a [ __ ] about. anyone else but themselves in LA yeah. like in Mississippi like there's really. like not much more to do right--so.

values and stuff like that are important. yeah oh it's interesting man yeah that's. so crazy you got to be down there. because I mean who else even gets to go. there nobody even everything things to. go to Natchez because it used to be like. a major stop on like for the gambling. boats and all of that yeah. you know it was incredible like I truly. think that was like one of my best. experiences of my life so far. I love that now the nights where you do. get a little lonely out there because I. know if you're working out hard in the. morning you're sweating all day and. you're you know I mean you're like a. rock star you shooting a movie in a. small town you know you have somebody.

with a walkie-talkie walking around with. you you know I know what it's like you. know to at least have you know you get. that you know you get a little bit of. pop right yeah when you get on a tinder. and a place like Mississippi you get on. the Bumble or [ __ ] anything cuz. you're out in the rural sticks here at. that point they should have [ __ ]. for rural areas yeah [ __ ] for. anybody who's trying to get laid outside. of the city it's like that um did you. say if you have if you open those amps.

up what's it like out there I I didn't. you didn't my Instagram was popping. pretty like in the requests but um like. I'm gonna be like honest like this is. was a I think it was around the time. where all the me to stuff happened oh. yeah yeah and it was like people were. just getting trouble like doing stuff on. movie sets like and I was just like. listen I'm not even gonna put myself in. that position like to even like be with. a girl alone like who was an extra in. the film or something like that like. this is like my chance like I'm not. gonna like worry about a girl like and.

I'm not gonna get myself in trouble in. any way yeah so I stay away from it. that's awesome yeah I was pretty like. dedicated for these like four weeks like. so actually you know what I did so I got. a I got a porn hub or a browsers account. Wow yeah go and hide yeah I got of. Reiser's account I don't think it's 4G. and some of their LT in some of those. areas over there I don't even know but. it was so funny because I checked on my. account like three why my credit card. same like three months later and it. billed me for like a year Horse like. like the month before so I called them.

and it didn't say browsers it said like. CTE billing or something yeah and I. called and I was like hey guys like why. like why quote what is this charge for I. didn't let's go to that call right yeah. we had a call oh yeah it's just just odd. guys discussing never press expenses but. I had it on speakerphone and I was with. one of my like buddies who's like not. super close but like he's close and I. had an on speaker in my living room and. I was like what. like what's his charge like I didn't do. this because I was just trying to figure.

out my finances and he's like oh did you. sign up for a brazzers in Natchez. Mississippi I was like yeah that was me. dude it must have been pretty cool. though like being so Octavia obviously. African American black woman to be a. lead on a movie of Mississippi we're. probably a hundred years earlier you. know like people in those here like. especially like you know people with her. skin color will probably having a much. tougher you know or a tougher time they. still doing a lot especially like in. some rural parts of of that state you. know easy Anas yeah in Louisiana yeah it.

must've been pretty cool kind of yeah it. actually isn't like I did not think of. that that's it is pretty incredible like. she's leading a studio film yeah and. it's her yeah did she comment on. anything like that like not like you. know not an any sort of net you know. negative way but did she like I wonder. if she even noticed that yeah not that I. can remember yeah I don't know but I. mean it's definitely like incredible. like honestly because on power like the. showrunner for me is a black woman -. yeah so like that's a show that I'm on.

like for a long period of time and I'm. doing this movie and like the lead -. black woman so it's kind of cool like. everything that I'm doing are led by. black women you know I mean which is. like it's awesome it's a great time for. that you know yeah yeah it is definitely. a time where it's like you gotta have. more like yay especially now is like. America gets more like more diverse and. it wasn't we were kids to have more. people like putting their influence on. things you know she can get different. perspectives and stuff so if what's. another type of movie that I would say.

and then I would be like oh then you'll. like MA it's it's kind of similar like. it's like Halloween kind of it's a. little bit like it kind of has elements. of that but it's I would say it's more. psychological so it's like I would say. it's like get out and screamish like. American Pie combined like it's Oh like. I'm telling you it's a lot of fun it's a. really [ __ ] fun movie like if you're. in college or high school or like young. like that that audience like they're. gonna [ __ ] love this because it's. just like crazy it's like a party movie. and then it turns turns deadly it's good.

well yeah is there any breaks in where. you can make out with somebody or not or. is it pretty I do make out with someone. in it really no I'm talking about if. you're in the theater yeah I could you. like a scene or two where you [ __ ]. you could just kind of doze off a little. bit I remember Dada yeah trying to get. that over there over the pants [ __ ]. you know you get all of it nothing gets. me going like Octavia Spencer stabbing. somebody burning Gianni with an iron. yeah. nothing history got fired up like seeing. a white freshman getting burned with an.

iron in the erection section fear is. nature's most powerful aphrodisiac. oh yeah you know what they say when a. planes going down 90% of the men in. their right. that's crazy oh is that like is that a. real thing yeah a statistic and you. already get airplane boner so you even. imagine do you know so do you have one. right now bro no I don't but so much so. that I get them that people [ __ ]. complain about it that's how much I get.

dude that's all that's so exciting so uh. so how do you start so you're gonna be. in a film like what are you how do you. try to like like what are your. expectations of like what your career is. gonna be like after this how do you. manage those expectations like what do. you start to think about because this is. like I mean well people you know watch. power you know that's a popular show but. this will be you know this is like a. film so what is like your brain go there. like what does your brain have you like. in like a hot tub in two weeks and Aspen.

like I'm just trying to think because. you have a young brain you know yeah I. got an old brain that's like oh dude. you'll be definitely still working for. us in a month yeah he's like we're gonna. drop him like a bad yeah um I actually. the total opposite like I hope this. launches me into to something like that. I can consistently work on a show for. like four years but like I don't want to. leave the podcast like if something were. to have to like shoot away like I would. still find a way to like promote lis. book yes and like work with you guys cuz. this is like the most fun part of like. my job like the reason why I am an actor.

is because like I like to have fun like. I like to show up on set I like to like. joke around and like you know it's it's. fun you've been on sets yeah you're. always in a good mood man I wish I was. in a good mood as much as you do well. maybe one day we'll do a movie and you. can now lead it you know I love that I. really would like and that's just. something like that I like doing like. this has been like incredible for me. I've learned so much from you and Nick I. so much about the podcasting world and. like other people yeah like like. honestly like after this movie comes out.

I'm hoping that I get a TV series for a. long period of time it films in LA and I. have you know like a couple hours a day. free where I can podcast and come in and. like do this I could be [ __ ] awesome. Nick do you think once Johnny starts to. pop off a little bit you know he starts. behind jewelry and stuff like that dude. buying his brother like fancy necklaces. and stuff you think he'll still come in. with us or no I got I got to believe the. little guy he's really yeah I think I.

think he truly loves this like he said. he loves comedy he was listening before. he worked with us so like being around. it I see him squealing his tires outside. of the studio what we're trying to. record ya know and we're getting a new. studio like I'm so excited about that. that's true man this is our last guest. in this studio so it's actually fitting. since you've booked so many of them to. come in and close it out yeah I think I. started right when you guys moved in. here like I think my first day like you.

had had one guest in here I think was. Jay Mohr and I wasn't there for that. yeah that's crazy man I think of all the. guests that have come through here you. know yeah that's like 120 episodes since. he's been here yeah that's crazy then. yeah I can't even I can't even fatter. than that it's been fun we should do. like one of those um those graduation. videos where it's like Dan and then and. it like cuts to all the guests yeah and. he gets older yeah he never looks any. older because he still looks 14 what's. the youngest you can go read for in a.

film honestly and legitimately play I. read for 15 like maybe three months ago. now do you take supplements and stuff to. keep your hormones down or keep your. hormones at bay no I do not really yeah. oh wow yeah I don't I guess I look yeah. I look a little young I could see was. like a year like Abe Lincoln's like. young son who's like leaving the family. to go play rugby you know third like you. smell sell snake oil on [ __ ].

Mississippi like no one expects us you. know yeah so I always think that's like. wild to me you know I'm gonna that. Walley world over there. the big one the big one yes and it's. nice I mean it's it's good it's good. they got a McDonald's in the back yeah. but the director Tate loves you really. and the producer Jon yeah he's like. great director he directed the help he. directed get on up the James Bond movie. now you're making me feel like I should. have done that cuz I went and met that. guy Lee Daniels recently Harvey Lee. Oswald yeah Lee Daniels huh yeah Lee. Daniels RV RV Oswald that God they did.

the movie the butler and they got that. does that show. Empire okay so little justice Millette. yeah just a smile let country and he. gave me a role in the room really for. what your chest on is some new pilot. that Whitney's doing mmm-hmm yeah he. said he's like he's like who's that guy. like that comedian on your Instagram. like he's hilarious we love him so it's. like there does he prefer men or women. this guy well he is married to the. producer of the movie he's a loser what. but he was a man okay but it's also.

super cuz I didn't game in in. Mississippi or a different lot but it's. so weird because they're all there. pretty much beautiful women yeah they're. like the mayor of love if you're a gay. man in Mississippi you're the mayor of. wherever you are yeah yeah exactly yeah. like when we went on for Thanksgiving he. like left in the car and he like he went. Mississippi has no rules he has like. this white Cadillac with with like no. rules if you're why like this Cadillac.

and it's like he's got in a fedora and. he's buying guns and shrimp and alcohol. and cocaine and he's just driving down. the things like this this gay man with a. fedora and a white Cadillac no roof on. it it's just like hilarious that sounds. like a casserole he's making yeah you. put a little propane and some shrimp in. a bucket and [ __ ] shoot it four times. voila baby wow that's dynamite shrimp. you know that's awesome man that's so. cool you got to go there and just spend. time and it's such like it feels almost.

like when I go to Mississippi a lot of. times and so especially in Natchez then. I'm traveling to the past yeah but. you're like another time I would I would. love to go back that's why I thought you. were gonna go to that festival this. weekend with Michigan is it well it's. yeah weekend's again two weekends ago. but I would have went cuz I yeah we saw. the live feed today's episode is brought. to you by Ridge wallet Ridge wallet. they've done a lot of great things here. and been a longtime supporter of this.

Skillshare comm slash Theo von again go. to Skillshare comm slash Theo von to. start your two months now. that's Skillshare comm slash Theo von. go get those skills um Nick how's it. been cuz you work with Johnny sometimes. cuz he's hearing mills around he loiters. something to call it how's that been for. you I feel like uh it's it's dope to be. honest so I we rip on each other but. he's super fun to have around.

he's always in a good mood I'm working. here by myself a lot so like his energy. like it's great obviously he's great to. be around and I'm just like super. impressed by it because we haven't said. yeah he's 22 oh yeah that's true I think. and like I don't know he's a workhorse. and he's like very strategic and like. what he's doing like I don't know I I. see bright things for the kid yeah man I. feel you dude yeah it is really exciting. bro you know you like you can yeah. especially since you get to see like. what the podcast world is like and then. also see like what the Hollywood world.

is like it's like yeah you'll be able to. probably learn enough to kind of head. you will hedge one against the other at. certain points you know to probably if. you wanted to produce your own thing or. make your own film that you wanted a. star in it's like you knew you know it's. like you know where you can find an. audience for it if it's something that's. good which I think a lot of it is going. like it's going away from Hollywood and. it's going more towards like its you in. your hands you know I mean because that. like I'm writing in and trying to you. know develop my own show and you know. like that's the way the way it's going.

you know I mean you don't need Hollywood. as much as you used to yeah yeah it's. like you can really make your own. Hollywood condo yeah you know I mean you. gotta have I just I can't see how it's. not gonna go more that direction there's. so many different outlets now like these. other streaming services are getting. like more money behind them like I mean. this is sports obviously but like that. does own channel like it's the it's now. on par with the quality of content that. like ESPN streaming service is putting.

out and it came out of nowhere when they. call ad is owned it spelled Daz and. honestly that's their biggest problem is. the branding yeah like they sank Canelo. for like 300 million they got money. behind him right it's only edgy but. these things are springing up all over. so there's if you put out good content. you're gonna find a place and someone. who's gonna give you money to produce it. and it doesn't have to be through the. traditional channels because it's almost. like like me undies doesn't go to a. store anymore they go directly to the. people and that's what the content. creators are doing. yeah what's weird cuz it's also like the.

whole like louis c.k like he just. doesn't even need any networks he just. has his own website and people go and. and listen to his special you know ii. mean so it's like he doesn't need. netflix to buy a special he can just put. it on. so well the first one he did but then. after that he went back to net he went. back to I think he did he sell it sell. the one that was already up on his thing. back to them not sure that's a good. question because then he may double the. amount of money you know I mean he sold. it to everyone and then was like okay I. made all my money no one's buying it. anymore. I'll sell to Netflix people will still.

watch it we'll get exposure and I'll. make money right and if you would have. we might have said this on the podcast. before but if he would have had like a. podcast during the whole time he could. have even not went away and like still. had like this groundswell of people in. his corner that like like I don't know. like yeah he did something wrong but. we're not gonna just drop him completely. instead of going dormant or whatever for. the last year and a half yeah yeah it's. kind of interesting to like you know. it's kind of interesting and it's kind. of like scary to think about like yeah.

like what you know like what's gonna be. next how it's gonna change how we're. like though you know how are because so. many people listen and watch podcasts. and go to more than cable now yeah and. go to see those entertainers you know in. the and that those are the entertainers. that people go out to see yeah it's just. kind of like it kind of like doesn't. plague me sometimes but it just has me. thinking like well what are the. possibilities of like creating our own. you know network makes yeah and then.

just getting advertisers attached so. that we don't have you know notes and it. can just be straight out of our own. brain exactly well I'm super excited. about your special because I mean I. don't know if I mean most of you guys. are probably seeing deal on the road but. dude you're [ __ ] our is incredible. it's like it's like the best hour I. think I have seen maybe ever and you're. no offense like that was great but like. this is a whole new level. like Sarah III agree cuz like a so.

edible re man is he follows you on the. road he opens for you he sends me the. footage and sometimes there's whole. shows on there and I'm trying to find. like interesting parts so like I'm. listening to I'm like two times or three. times speed but like you listen to it. and it's like it's like music you can. just all of a sudden there's laughter. Theo says something there's laughter and. it's just this constant wave it's it's. where it's crazy like how it's boom boom. boom boom well every time you like cuz I. have your email. computer because you know we book guess. and every time like like a clip from.

like the ice house will come in I'll be. like oh [ __ ] like I don't know if I can. listen to this like I just like I think. I truly that's how I first like knew of. you yeah I went to the Comedy Store one. night to watch D'Elia and Sebastian and. I think you had a later spot cuz at this. time you like weren't as big as you were. then this is maybe two and a half years. ago yeah you had like an 11:30 spot and. I was gonna leave and then you came on. and I was sat in the front row and like. everyone around me had already gone and. I was like who the [ __ ] is this guy like.

this is the most unique like interesting. it was just so different to me and I was. laughing my ass off and that's how I. just knew of you and then I started like. I went to a couple of years shows and I. started listening to podcasts and then. you know it's crazy Here I am you know. yeah here we are I mean ah well thank. you it's nice you guys to say man I know. that I've been hard to deal with all. that sometimes over the years has been. tough man for me she's been you know. it's been fun to have a lot more work. and stuff but it's been it's been such. like a level of like just stress I think.

in fear you know like working like so. long in an industry and like you know. not you know not really getting much. traction and then all once and then like. yet getting a lot of traction but also. like it's your own traction kind of that. you know that we've created here with. the podcast yeah and you know not alone. but with is so it's just like kind of. scary it's like and then suddenly. everybody wants to come and like get you. to do stuff and you're like well what do. I do am I making good choices and I'm. making bad choices well when I first.

started working here a year ago you had. I think it was 68 thousand followers on. Instagram you have 800,000 now like that. is incredible you don't I mean like and. that's all through the podcast and. comedy you have it it's not like you did. a [ __ ] studio movie you don't mean. it's not like you're on a TV show that. is all through comedy and podcasts yeah. which is what people need to understand. like that. it's the podcast world which is like and. social media through Instagram like. that's what's blowing people up you. don't I mean yeah like you can you did. that without Hollywood yeah well you can. get your voice out there well I mean I.

had a lot of help I mean Nick's done a. great job you know I mean. has done a great job and even like you. know moments today like this morning you. know sometimes I'll wake up there's two. ways I'll wake up a good way and then. the other way I'll wake up and I'm a. [ __ ] loser but I can tell where every. new text me what it is so crazy how you. can tell via and attacks like if I can. feel the energy yeah yeah look there's. energy that goes into the screen glad. some of its coming up when he wakes up. it's either like hey man good morning. like ready to get today going like all.

this stuff like do we have everyone good. and then it's also like hey man what the. [ __ ] is going on why the [ __ ] is a. studio not at 68 degrees yeah broke the. thermostat you think this [ __ ] two. plants can survive in there I'm thinking. about yourself G through the new studio. we got windows do we're gonna have a. [ __ ] forest dude yeah you guys don't. even know we'll put some of the footage. in we'll put some of the footage on to. the patreon yeah was Jionni just started. helping out like kind of get or trying.

to get to our patreon or like a better. level where you guys can see some of the. behind the scenes stuff that we do. better and we'll put like those videos. of when everyone over to the new studio. and checked it out yeah it's kind of. crazy it there's definitely more room. there's gonna be just a place where you. can put stuff what are you looking. forward to Nick cuz you're in the studio. most of the time yeah I mean if we I. think we could find talent and kind of. it's gonna be hard to get any show to. the level of this cuz you're a unique. you unique talent but I think we could.

find people who we think have potential. that aren't seen and produce their own. pods and and recreate kind of the. formula we have like the clips Channel. and the instagrams that help blow them. up and then with our connections the. other pod get them put out and I think. we could we could have our own network I. mean your mom's house is doing it yeah. no reason we can't yeah I want to do. like our own them yeah we should still. dr. Gruber man he's so good our own. potential potential like production. company like onward productions and yeah. do our own [ __ ] in-house you don't need.

to go to some sketchy thing we sell our. own ads it's like it's it's all together. and it's like a collaborative creative. experience you know it's not like you. have to deal with some guy in a [ __ ]. suit telling you you're not funny enough. or you're like well what have you ever. done you know what I mean yeah yeah no. look man I mean it would definitely be. neat you know I think my. fears are just you know doing too much. other stuff SATA can't do stand up that. much yeah I don't do it but I I do think. it's like use your umbrella though like. you don't necessarily pile on you more. stuff but it's like use your umbrella.

yeah to put on other stuff like you. start you start growing like you're just. branches off and it doesn't always have. to be you you like when we have someone. with a show you're their first guest and. stuff kind of help pop him off but then. we go runnin with that yeah it's like. the same thing like what Kevin Hart does. I mean he has heartbeat productions and. he does so many different shows and like. executive produces them and like. creatively you know helps him but he has. really not much to do with it it's just. kind of his name and his brand will help. get it out there using lol network to.

which like an a lot a lot it's much more. yeah yeah yeah I actually interviewed. them before I was at Funny or Die and I. almost had it but I think I didn't know. it was as urban as it was and I kept. telling him like they have all this just. for laughs content they own a bunch of. that and I was like oh that's like where. you want to go and that's like nerdy. white comedy and so I think that's kind. of where I carry Seinfeld what's the big. deal watermelon have you heard of this. guy Theo from Louisiana although that's.

a bad example because you you you got. that swag but yeah yeah yeah dude black. guys love you man I do yeah wish someone. would come to the shows there's been 11. that have come to the shows I think this. familiar yeah and they're always like. hey man just wanna let you know you have. some black support and one of us my. friend Stan that came to two shows I. think I tell all my friends about you. and they beat the [ __ ] out of me yeah. but dude you know what I was thinking. there's not a lot of crossover in music.

there's a lot of crossover right I think. crossovers in what like like if you look. at black and white audiences that go to. see entertainment you know a lot of. there there's still a lot of like a lot. of black audience to go to see black. stuff a lot of why don't need to go to. see kind of white stuff well I think I. mean I think it bends in someplace usek. is definitely a place where it bends a. lot well I think because I like post. Malone I don't think a lot of black. people go see post Malone but like Drake. like all like black people go see Drake. and like white people go see Drake so I.

think it's more. black artists that the white people love. but I feel like sometimes when it's a. white artist like there's not support. from maybe the black community is like. oh he's like he's like white like trying. to like take like what we create right. so I think like that's kind of where. Michael Rapaport yeah yeah like you know. yelling oh yeah actually if I feel. really Puck McGary ohm but he married. also a black woman I think you have to. go that far really I like Neal Brennan. he married Dave Chappelle so he married.

himself a couple times you know I think. it'd be good bill burr bill burr Yemen. has a but he's got his content is so. white like I remember I was drunk. driving at the McDonald's it's like. black people like no we don't remember. that you can edit yeah he's just so. frustrated with everything is the best. yeah have you seen those two black guys. they have a YouTube channel and they'll. watch like white comic get off they've. done one on you and they just absolutely. loved it and I've seen one them doober I. want to find their names cos yeah those. guys are great yeah it is interesting I.

wonder if there's like um I think it. would do thing I think it would if there. were more and maybe this will just. happen with time where more black people. support white things and not think that. it's like there because a lot of white. people aren't like support my stuff I'm. like a you know like they don't have any. there's no ego there's no racial ego on. it yeah I think there's sometimes. there's probably like you know when. you've been like a community that's been. like historically kind of like hell held.

in to such a place and not had. opportunity than you probably think like. oh yeah this is our opportunity right. why are you taking this from us like we. have this you know anyway why are you. taking that to I guess it may be what. the feeling is but out here on the west. coast I see a lot more guys who were. just like it doesn't really matter I. think that is one thing you find more. and even just as time goes on I see a. lot more people it doesn't really matter. kind of well that's where I see it going. where it's like like a lot of it now is. that like I want to give diverse people. jobs like which is great like I fully. support that but it's like like I'm. hoping in like the next like 30 years.

where it's just like no one gives a [ __ ]. it's equal the funniest person gets the. job yeah that's writer gets the writing. job the best actor gets an acting job. like yeah we want it to be diverse but. like it should be like that shouldn't. matter you know. should just be who's the best yeah yeah. it's been as long as everybody has the. opportunity exactly us correct you know. and also I think one thing is like you. know a lot of strike with struggle comes. without struggle you don't get any you. know you got to have some to get to have.

something I think exactly you know like. you don't get a diamond without some. pressure like I think like you're gonna. see a lot more softer black athletes. over time you know as like yeah once. like great like once you realize what. it's like to grow up in an area where. you know like you have sweaters all the. time as [ __ ] like that dude you're gonna. have a good black guys that can't even. dump sorry I imagine that it's already. kind of happening Jimmy Butler when he. was on the wolves like he hated his. teammates cuz they're all like younger. Millennials and they would play video. games constantly like they're always.

playing for at night and he [ __ ]. hated his teammates yeah like he's. fitting in way better in Philadelphia he. screamed at him one time at a practice. and they like it made a bunch of news. he's like you [ __ ] need me and then. he did man in a train left because Jimmy. Jimmy Butler is old school. oh he's old school yeah it's definitely. I mean it's definitely like yeah it's. gonna be I mean I do look forward to a. day where maybe there'll be an. opportunity for a white man and be able. to start on a basketball team you know. just because you know like because Larry.

Bird dude but that was there one guy way. to go to Poland to find the guy they. said they found him in ice and an. iceberg thought out who's that guy do. chick or something uh for the Nugget oh. yeah the Joker. Niccolo joking he's arvydas Sabonis. reincarnate I love Nicola Nicola joke. itch yeah it's not getting bro I can. tell [ __ ] European here come the. white guy in the NBA he was top five. this year and he said he's a seven-foot. like to huge thick center in being the.

guy with the ball on pick-and-rolls like. they run him at point he's a crazy catch. a sir it's sweet yeah you've had to. really go deep into Europe man deep into. like those you know like the just the. crevasse is of Europe you know to really. find like a white guy I can play. basketball we got a white guy that once. they asked Gianni a question oh this is. dead. looks like his dad bro is this your. father now let's get this video oh how.

long we other what's up Gianni you sexy. little short bread about time you found. your way on the podcast boy I want to. know what it's like to be on power I. also want to know what it's like to work. with do I know that you must think that. is super funny just like we all do and I. want to know what that's like man I know. that you all must have some good times.

and have much laughs so yeah and also I. don't get my chest bigger boat yeah. April's that for a young guy hold it. bang bang probably 28th Gang Gang man we. probably should do more activities as a. group you know maybe we'll have more. opportunity to do that in the studio. cause it'll be a little more room yeah. what's it like to be on power um it's. incredible and I think it's so much. cooler being on a black show then a.

white show because like you show up to a. white show and everyone's just like kind. of like like when you get like the cast. and crew of like a black show and. they're laughing like at what you're. doing it feels better. oh yeah it's just like like it's the. same thing it's like when you're wearing. like an outfit and like a white guy. comes up to you and he's like don't bow. fee and you're like okay dude get the. [ __ ] away from it you had a black guys. like sick outfit you like [ __ ] yeah I. could do anything now maybe I play pro. ball yeah yeah I'm gonna go try for the. NFL maybe yes yeah like I even Pat's you.

on the back or actually bumps in you in. the other why you play why is it so much. cooler I think there's just like cuz I. think you know I think for me anyway let. me think about that you know I don't. know black guys just seem more confident. and comfortable agreed so you feel like. if oh and you wish you had that for me I. wish I had that so if they like if they. think I'm that way or something then. it's PD dude yeah like a black guy with. like a disease you know what I mean it's.

just I know it's just like well I I. never see it's just like they're just. like [ __ ] you know got that and they. don't talk about it you know like yeah. cool black guy was I gonna talk about. his disease yeah. like yeah I got it whatever yeah it's. cool we're ruining Jionni's career I. know all right recently but no there. look I think there's always been. something that you know like her for me. it was always something I wanted to be. accepted by the black community or make. also making any other community laugh is. also a fun thing the only community I. had around growing up in my er it was. black and white so there was any other.

option yeah but yeah if you give you're. like you know you're in a group of. Latinos you make all those guys last so. so much cool yeah it's like oh [ __ ] it's. so much cooler you think I'm cool I mean. working with 50 cent is literally like a. dream like if you told me when I was 10. years old 12 years old that you're gonna. be on a show with 50 cent I would be. like you can kill me afterwards because. I don't need to live anymore. and so is he is he a big guy what does. he like he is so the first time I ever. met him so I went on for season six I.

went to go film episode one and we were. doing the table read for episode 2 yeah. so I saw him come in and he's way bigger. than the table read is when everybody. gets together from the cast at all yes. correct practice the script yeah so we. did that and then I like saw him a. little bit but not much because he was. directing episode 3 so that's when he. like kind of takes over but because his. character is dead and he's now just an. executive producer on the show so he. didn't have to do much so he didn't say.

much I didn't really meet him and I left. because I had a meeting right after in. New York so then I went the next day I. had to film episode 1 and I went in the. gym upstairs of the studio because we. film at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn and. there's a gym up there and I'm lifting. and I'm listening to 50 cent no word of. a lie. you don't move yeah it was it was um put. his brains out [ __ ] but he I think it. was called heat and he comes out Pacino. yeah if you listen to a movie wire in.

the gym yeah go on. yeah so he walks in and he starts. lifting next to me and is he strong he. is his arms are bigger than my head like. no joke massive and yeah he's like in. like jeans like just got off like set. and yeah he's ripped so um so I'm. lifting and then. his tits look like hammocks bro for. muscle he's got to help out that guy. that just asked the question yeah there.

if you want to know yeah go read that. immense muscle fitness episode with a. magazine with um he's 50 cent Curtis I. don't think he looks like that now that. was like maybe when he's like. 40-something now his arms are just big I. think he's got a little little stomach. he's been relaxed and his eating [ __ ]. Twizzlers unsettled oh really yeah does. he have any children or not yeah he has. a son I think he has two sons one he. hates and one that he'll he likes that's. nice but um very [ __ ] Lannister oh. yeah so I sold he came up to me and he.

was just like you film yet he like came. up to me and I was like oh [ __ ] and I. was like I was like no I'm like I'm. going down after this like it's I don't. have a call time till three and I was. like are you starting your. pre-production for directing and he's. like yeah we started doing all that and. then I saw i filmed episode 2 and I and. I actually filmed two and three. back-to-back so I stayed in New York you. spot him no I did you hold water in your. mouth for me was thirsty he did his own. thing did he got bench yes but so then. we came at breakfast and we had already.

filmed one day for episode two and then. we had another day for episode three. okay so he comes up to me at breakfast. it's like 6 a.m. because I went and. lifted early and he comes up to me he's. like dude like your [ __ ] is like super. funny like I watched his stuff from. yesterday like you're hilarious and oh. that's cool [ __ ] and that was like kind. of like maybe one of the coolest moments. ever like 50 cent tells you like that. year of honey and like heat like I'm at. breakfast I'm alone and he could have. easily just walked in got his [ __ ] and. you know when it kind of seems like he. keeps coming over when you're by. yourself no but the craziest thing was.

how people get molested in Hollywood. they don't know what's going on yeah. maybe yeah they're just all of a sudden. like 50 Cent's like [ __ ] man does he. have a lot of ladies around him or not. no not not when we were actually got an. email that came out and be like no one's. allowed to come on set because this is. when the whole six nine [ __ ] was. happening with like like he was getting. shot at and some a guy sends friends. with them so they're like no people. allowed on set like that aren't approved. but you know the craziest thing was um. [ __ ] I forgot what I was saying women no.

oh no so so that morning I miss. Sebastian in here. like I booked him and then he came in. and I was filming so I was watching the. live yeah I was watching the live in um. in my dressing room so 50 maps out the. UM the scene that we have like what. director does he'll tell you like you. should walk here like does that feel. comfortable for you when do you say this. and you kind of work with the director. with that you know but as for the. listeners and so we do that and I I go.

upstairs to go watch the live feed I had. like 20 minutes to kill and I had to. change my outfit and all of a sudden I. look on Instagram and he bought like the. first two sections of Ja Rule's of Ja. Rule's show oh yeah. and like bought those tickets so no one. would be there and then posted it on. Instagram and like cause like a major. issue like a major beef again he like. rekindled the 20 year old beef and he. just been totally chill and he just been.

told Jill and then he puts his phone. down directs us like we do the scene we. get off set maybe like an hour and a. half later and he's like yeah like that. was [ __ ] awesome I got this stuff and. then he goes oh [ __ ] I just [ __ ] call. that ja Rule and forgot about it and. like went on his phone and was like oh. [ __ ] like I totally forgot I did this 50. cent buys two hundred tickets to the ja. Rule concert to keep seats empty and on. October 30th cuz I was um I always film. the episode on Halloween. you just put more money in Gerald's.

pocket no one was showing up to that. show. yes an entire festival money but he is. he is a [ __ ] entrepreneur like he is. a true that guy knows what the [ __ ] is. up like every time he has something he. wants to promote something goes in the. news like he knows what he's doing it's. all strategic he's a [ __ ] genius hmm. yeah so when you're around him it seems. like what does he seem like does he seem. like a tough guy does he seem like a. businessman does he seem like a comedian. really yeah he's he's got like he's very. similar to like [ __ ] like sob and like.

that kind of whole like like that. tough-guy like comedy you know anybody. it's he's very similar to that and I. know I don't want to get Brendan that's. a distraction that he's like 57. Brendan's probably definitely can hear. this wherever he is Rennie can always. hear people talking about Cody how far. away they are and the guy also asked. what it's like with Theo which I did. want to comment on there. working with you guys it is [ __ ]. hilarious which is why my laugh ruins. episodes mean it's like I and the ant. axe challenge like it's you guys are.

laughing like imagine being in the room. with it like it's [ __ ] hilarious like. my laugh is annoying I get it but it's. hard because it's funny you know I mean. yeah yeah you definitely your laugh was. egregious in the beginning a lot of. people interrupt yeah that was that well. that was the first time I got a mic and. then Bo texting me that morning like hey. man got a lot of problems with a fan no. more Mike with a microphone and then I. got no joke 200 iums who's the clown in. the back huh specify it wasn't me that's.

that's always what I'm losing with the. microphone yeah Jesus love the app but. that guy cats but I've gotten better a. lot of people are like ok like it's good. so I got my microphone back and no more. laugh I cover my mouth well I think. that's while this episode's good because. people can experience a little bit more. than Joey yeah. we call them joy Yanni yeah you know and. uh and yeah it's uh yeah man it actually. is really a blessing I'm glad that you. and Nick have a good rapport you know. even when I'm not around because yeah I.

think if it were yeah I just I know I. couldn't keep yeah I don't even if we'd. probably still be together forever. Gianni passing through with the joy. sometimes because it's been a lot it has. been a lot of work it's been a lot of. work for Nick it's been a lot of work of. back and forth and so yeah but that's. originally why I wanted to start with. you like like I mean I'm not gonna say. I'm gonna say like I saw like so much. potential cuz I like like I think I was. like this guy is gonna be [ __ ] huge. like people just don't know about him.

yeah and I'm like I want to help in any. way I can because I assumed it's like. pretty [ __ ] stressful you're on the. road like you're trying to sell tickets. you're doing a podcast so that's when I. originally came and was like I want to. help with social media stuff and like I. mean it's really dumb man and like. you've done it to an end yeah you're. right man you said I just want to help. and you know that's a good going I was. just gonna say booking is not it's the. worst like there are companies that like. people pay thousands of dollars to to. like get guests for them and stuff like. and especially if we're trying to hit a. specific day like it's not easy and I'm.

super glad I don't have to. yeah yeah that's true man I don't even. know if we could have had yeah I like I. don't know I I mean I guess I don't know. if I was planning on doing I had no idea. what the plan was you know yeah when I. came in we only had Jay Mohr and a. Greyhound bus driver. Oh in that hole and the homeless guy. what about the homeless guy Oh uneven. Steve and he must not be doing well I. haven't gotten a text back with him in a. while about eight months but then we. also had some faults like if we can look. back like the the guy who had Tourette's. which we don't really know if he beats.

Tourette's and then we found out later. that he was involved in a sex cult where. they all got could everybody got to read. I didn't know as an STD I think it's. going around. and in the crazy part is one day these. same people are gonna be probably maybe. sooner than later gonna be emailing you. back to book you they'll be like yeah. we'd love to have that person on can you. come on our podcast yeah which is funny. because now I do have a publicist. because you know a couple months before. the movie out and movie comes out you. want to like yeah like I go on podcast.

because I want people to see the movie. you know what I mean and she helps me. with that and it's kind of interesting. because yeah that is like I was I email. other people like Bobby Lee I'm going on. Tiger belly well I would have already. have been on but yeah like before I'm. emailing like hey George can we get. Bobby on this past weekend and then it's. kind of the opposite now like hey yeah I. want to come on like tell you that yeah. that's cool man yeah and Jionni's. getting cornered by the shows he goes on. why isn't why can't I go on Theo show. twice you're at they're asking you why.

aren't you on Theo show no no they're. asking me why they are not do show oh. wow well look talk to my Booker it's the. only thing I can say man that's why I. don't handle it dude bro the t even that. well the funny thing is now like even. David Spade the other day like he's like. hey man I mean I think I need some help. with this podcast thing and I'm like. that's just crazy that day in context. hey man I'd love to come back on the. podcast dude we're gonna have them me. and Dana have the same problem yes. you'll do yeah that's studio one day you.

never know yeah it's like and we can. make good content and stuff that's more. fair I think you know and people can own. a part of what they do yeah this is kind. of [ __ ] that no one owns like the. stuff like you're a showrunner and you. don't have. and he say and what happens to your show. yeah I think this is mine you know I. mean like this is my people do 20 years. of development to get stuff made and. these these personalities like when they. go on networks usually they get stifled. and it's it doesn't end up being them. like David Spade could have an awesome. podcast yeah really what if he wanted to.

he could be so good yeah yeah what is he. looking to do one uh yeah he's saying. like who would be a good co-host for me. to do one with you know us dude how are. we gonna do it though we'll talk affair. but like yeah yeah fortune would be dope. dude I've the other night so you know. obviously name-dropping here but I went. to met up with Spade to get some food. just have dinner and I'm walking up to. the restaurant to open the door and. Schwartz and comes running up behind me. to like scare me scared the [ __ ] out of. me dude really did he [ __ ] himself well.

I did it I think that was his move yeah. diarrhea. he's like dang you were so scared I just. [ __ ] myself but but then we stood around. and talked for like two minutes and was. literally one of the funniest. conversations that I've never been. really see that see well that's the. stuff that I [ __ ] love like I when. I'm going on set with actors like it's. not that I don't get along with them. because I do like I met Cory but I feel. like out of place because they're like. very like like PC and it's like you have. to do this and I trained at Juilliard. and that's not the way I am like I.

[ __ ] chill with you and like you know. like when I went to the comedy store. that night Bobby Lee and Chris D'Elia. and Sebastian or all standing around. like that's like I'm not saying like. that's like who I think I am but like. that's like the crew that I like feel. like a part of like and then I go on set. with other people who are like actors. and they're just like they're kind of. like off-putting almost yeah you don't. take it as seriously you know me you. take it seriously you know work but you. don't take it as seriously in your ego. and that's something Nick said earlier. actors are like empty vessels almost.

like they're told like be here say this. do this and I feel like it bleeds into. it like most of them that's why you can. go have see actors on this show I don't. find him as interesting generally yeah I. don't have a ton of life experience like. yeah stuff but Jionni was a hockey. player sure dude Johnny was a hockey. player. I mean look Jionni could be the hottest. twink in this [ __ ] City you don't see. a twink pound-for-pound as uh you know. and a twink is a sort of a lien what is. a twink Johnny um it's more like a young. hairless kind of like a little skinnier.

boyish gay male yeah yeah that all the. older game in one yeah and then run yeah. they hire me like carry muffins around. unfold drapes and stuff my mom actually. was like why does why is everyone. commenting on your Instagram you know. get that hit a twink she's like why are. people and why is everyone calling you. at the swing say a boy and I'm like. [ __ ] has to do with a mullet. okay yeah want to I'm gonna just be. grateful to be in Hollywood a little.

hairless and great thank you very much. Nick for putting up with everything and. for getting us this far thank you Gianni. thank you special to be a part of this. like it really is like I love being here. and we have a great time. yeah well I'm excited to see where your. career goes man and I'm like I just hope. that we don't lose our Booker. yeah but for real though everyone um so. the movie will be coming out tomorrow. when this airs on Thursday May 30th the. movie comes out Friday May 31st please. go see it you're gonna love it it's.

[ __ ] awesome and let me know what you. think yeah let him know what you think. now there's a great opportunity for you. to have you know to let Jionni know what. you think about that movie and it's. called mas torn Octavia Spencer so. talented she was in the help man and. she's incredible so good and it's so. weird because you go on set with an. awful like she's a prime example of. someone that I did gel with because. she's not a typical act actress you know. what I mean like she is an oscar-winning. actress and then you get on set and. she's crazy and she's funny and she's. doing accents and she's like like.

putting on wigs and stuff like that. she's hilarious she who yeah so that's. what I was super nervous about going. into I was like I'll [ __ ] like I have to. do a scene with her where she [ __ ]. pulls a gun on me like are you [ __ ]. me scary but then you go on set and she. makes you feel comfortable it's great. there you go go see MA Johnny thank you. for being here and thank you for. everything you do for this past weekend. and uh and I'll talk to you guys soon. [Music]. on the breeze and I feel I'm full and. like these leaves I must be I'll share.
