Our. grandchildren love him.". >> Oh, yeah. >> But you just go like it was there it is. >> Oh, that's cool. >> See, in my mind, I was sandwiched.

A pumpern nickel. >> So, but we were uh that was it was just. a it was a crazy night, huh? >> Yeah, that was a lot, man. I met Hansen.

It's like it was just this brand that I. had when like Crisscross came out and my. son didn't know who that was and it was. the year it was the and uh was it the.

year you were born baby when it came. out? 82. >> Yeah, I think. >> I crisscross cross colors. Anyways, I. just gave it to my son and I was just. dating myself, man. But it was it was a. >> it was a moment. I've been unpacking my. uh my old stuff and giving it to my son. and he loves it because all that stuff's. cool again. >> Yeah. Oh, that's a good point. Yeah. Things come back around. >> Yeah. >> Uh you grew up in Hawaii. >> I was born in Hawaii and my parents got. divorced when I was little and I moved.

to Iowa. But like you know, Bridges of. Madison County, Iowa. Like. >> dude, Merryill Street, Bridges of. Madison County. Boom. One of my favorite. books. The book and the movie it's. identical. It's like word for word. Um, yeah. Every the the the movie is the. exact way of the book. So, not that that. matters. >> So, I'm like graduated, you know. >> Did you go to University of Iowa? >> No. No, I actually went to we like to. make fun of it University of Southern. Ankeny. I went to DMAC De Moines Area. Community College. >> And then went to.

>> Is that still open? >> It is DMAC. And then I went off to get. instate tuition in Colorado and I went I. was living out in Colorado State and I. was working as a trail crew out there. and working at Lee Cycler and Bazettes. and all these different busing tables. and [ __ ] trying to get instate tuition. trying to postpone. >> college as much as possible and then. >> trying to postpone it or stay in it like. >> well just trying to get instate tuition. so I could do wildlife biology there but. I want I went to school I it's weird. because when I was in Iowa I did marine. biology they have a place called central. campus where all these different schools.

would go into De Moine and you would. learn marine biology and I'd have like a. shark tanks and I had my own eel and. you'd learn about all these different. things and I always wanted to be a. marine biologist and we'd spend our. spring breaks down in the Keys. So we. get in a yellow bus go all the way down. to from [ __ ] Iowa all the way down to. the Keys. >> Damn, that's so far. >> Yeah. And uh and we'd study with. scientists, but I did that two years get. credit for college. But I and then I was. going to go like over summertime I was. like I'll go to Hawaii since I'm. Hawaiian. Maybe I'll get a better deal.

going to college. And uh TV show came. >> That was it. >> And I was just surfing with my family. and uh a big I have big pretty big surf. family. So we um and then a show came. and I ended up getting it. It changed. everything. >> I was 19. >> and you were working. So the but they. had the aunt. Oh my god. That's him. >> Yeah. Dude, don't don't don't don't. >> don't what? Get some lotion OUT. [laughter]. to rub on the picture. [laughter].

Uh, have some respect, guys. Dude, that's wild that you got to live. >> I was 19, man. That was crazy. My job. before that was busting tables. Yeah. Working in a surf shop. >> I bust tables, bro. I was for one of the. first busers to ever use creatine in. Arizona, south of Phoenix. I was one of. the best bus boys there was, I think, for probably about a two and a half year. period. >> Is that where you went to Arizona? >> I went to University Arizona for one. year and then I went to some other. schools. But, um, dude, I was Oh, I was. so good at busting tables, man.

>> Yeah. Well, I would take all the food. cuz I worked at a really nice nice. restaurant. >> Yeah. >> And we were all my buddies that live. together, just a bunch of climbing dirt. bags. And I'd bring this nice pasta home. cuz, you know, if the if the if the the. couple didn't look too sus and they left. their stuff. >> Yes. you know, you just box that in and. bring it home. And so I always had like. the best restaurants pasta, >> dude. I worked at a place called. Dakota's Wine and Feed. And the guy. there was taught like there was this. perverted manager who would kind of. teach us how to do like he would like.

kind of like oral sex on women, but just. like in convers. But I will tell not in person, not with. a real woman, just he would like tell us. young kids like how to do it and stuff. And we didn't know what was going on, dude. I remember when he would talk. about it, all the pimples on my face. would like explode at once. Um but um. anyway, that was beside the point, but. they had very nice food there. And I. remember if I'd see a couple, if they. use their knife, that to me was like, "Oh, they're fancy. I can eat off of. their plate.". >> So if the knife was dirty, I would. definitely take a little bit of they.

have like some cured ham or some. specialty meats on there. >> And I'd get a stack of like some like. special sandwich that was made of all. types of stuff. >> Yeah, man. >> It was nice. That's back um. >> feeding the homies. >> Yeah. And back then it's like when. you're out of your mom's house your. first time out you're like orange juice. was like champagne if someone had orange. I was like oh my god I haven't had. orange juice in [ __ ] cuz it all went. to beer and [ __ ] booze. >> Yeah. >> right. Milk never saw it again. [laughter] If mom's out [ __ ] milk and. then it's basically water beer.

My dad still kind of had to pay child. support. So that was like that paid rent. and I could I I could just save enough. bus and tables. >> Yeah. where I could work just Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I'd go rock climbing. and snowboarding. So, it' be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and. Thursday, I come back. So, I had like. four I had a little plan, you know. >> And uh were you with like a certain. group of friends from growing up or was. it just is like a still like a core. group or was it just guys? >> There's one guy I didn't have too many. friends growing up and uh I I mean I had. friends but like the like true buddies. they're they're in my neighborhood but.

they stayed there. There's one guy, he. is uh my best friend to this day, godfather my kids. He went out to. Colorado first. So he was one year older. and then I went there out there to be. with him and he was my best. Yeah, he's. my best bud. So it was just us running. running the muck. >> So much fun. Colorado is so awesome. >> It is. It was good. >> God, I love being out there. Is that the. altitude always gets me so much, dude. I. get affected pretty easily by the. environment. Um. >> it's got to be hard for you going from. Nashville to here cuz you get dry. Like. I just came from New Zealand right now.

and last night I'm like I felt sorry for. my lady cuz I'm just like. >> dried out like. >> just shedding a skin. I mean it's summer. down there. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? I got here like. Yeah. >> Yeah. Dude, New Zealand is a dude. I met. people like. I'm like what are you talking about? You're not using any letters. They have. people there. It's like I. >> I think that's Australians but yeah it. is. >> Oh we went to New Zealand. And we had. some shows down in Auckland and we met. Pete was just like.

I we met guys who like it was like they. had a sentence stuck in them. They just. couldn't get it out of them no matter. what. Like the people there that talked. [laughter] were just anyway it was just. some of the craziest lingo I'd ever. heard. But one of the most beautiful. places we went to um we got to meet. Israel Adosana down there cuz he lives. there. >> Yep. Style bender. >> Yep. And they were super nice to us. whenever we went over there. But we went. to the beach one day and they said you. can only be outside of the beach for a. certain amount of time because they. don't have that much um marine or they. don't. >> though I have the ozone.

>> ozone layer. >> You're fried. >> Dude, I was like it's so beautiful but. you got to go back inside. >> I know it never told me to go back. inside but I mean yeah if you're sitting. out there you're going to feel it like. you just feel yourself cooking. >> Yeah. >> Like Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, at a certain point you. should go in, I think. >> Yeah, you definitely should. >> Or just stay out there and grill maybe. [laughter]. Um, so you went so you went from De. Moine Community College DMAC. >> Yep. >> And then you ended up over in Colorado. >> Yep. Went to Colorado and then and then. went to Hawaii to get to just to kind of. be with my father, get to know him.

better. And. >> was he cool? >> My dad's great. My dad's he's he's he's. awesome. But just um I'd go there when I. was young, like 8 n 10. Like basically. when I was young enough to comprehend. it, bright enough to be with my mom. And. then I'd I'd go until like high school. years. We had probably a bit of a. falling out. So I didn't go too much and. maybe my sophomore, junior, senior year. So once I I was like, I'm going to go. back be with dad, bury the hatchet, and. uh see if I can get into college over. there. And um and then like I said, show.

came and changed my life. And then kind. of tried to, you know, tell my mom like I'm on this. show and she's like, what are you. talking about? You know, like my mom's. in the same house I was raised in. >> Wow. So, I was a little What are you. doing? Are you doing something with. Satan? >> I know. She's like, "You're on Baywatch. Hawaii." I was like, "Mom." I'm like, "It's it's not what you think. It's like. a whole different spin on it. They're in. Hawaii. It's not." And she's like, "What? >> It's a whole different spin. They're in. Hawaii.". >> Yeah. No, I mean, the Hasselhoff wasn't. really on it anymore, but they're trying. to change it up. So, anyways.

>> Dang. >> And then I spent the, you know, the next. 30 years digging myself out of that. hole. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Cheers to that. And here we are now. And. so so your mom is a white woman and your. your father is more island. >> My dad's my dad's Hawaiian. Yeah. Uncle. Maldi. And my mom is basically German. Irish. >> Is there a lot of beef between Hawaiians. in Hawaii of like the are there. different kind of sects of like SECTS of. Hawaiians like different kind of like or.

is it if you're Hawaiian you're. Hawaiian? >> I mean that's a good question. I. wouldn't say it's like sex. Um. definitely you know back in the day. there was different islands were. different kings until it was united by. Kamehameha but not everyone loved. Kamehameha you could have been with. Kahiki you could have been different you. could have been with different islands. and that obviously to unite them your. family could have been murdered so I. don't I don't think everyone sees eye to. eye. >> but having said that like we are.

>> you know since we are part of America. now like I think all those generations. you know our our culture and our. language was completely removed from us. like most indigenous races and uh you. know really trying to get it back and I. don't ne necessarily think there's like. sex to it. >> right so there's not like so people. aren't like that tribal. >> I mean I tell you what not as much as. like if you were compared to New Zealand. where there's I I don't don't quote me. but there's 200 plus different.

>> ewis different tribes in mai so oh yeah. I met somew. there's one like nahu's just one tribe. on the South Island. The North Island. has many. So, it definitely has to go. through a lot more. if you're trying to agree on certain. things. Like, it's got to go through. more people. Is that what you mean? Yeah. >> Got it. And did your dad have a lot like. is he like very a very Hawaiian kind of. guy? >> Very much so. >> I mean, in the sense of like. >> cuz there's so much pride in that. culture. It's such a unique culture. >> Yeah. I come from the west side of Aahu.

My dad lives in Nanakuli. Most of my. family's like Nanakuli Y and I and then. Makaha. And uh that whole west side is. called Hawaiian Homestead Land. This is. like our reservation kind ofesque kind. of um thing. And so. um but my father's very much a waterman. And in that sense, >> what does that mean? He's he likes to be. out in the water. >> He uh specific outriggers uh paddling, surfing. He was a coach. And I mean just. any a waterman as as in knowledge of. sailing, knowledge of. >> anything out there. And you're Aquaman,

which is crazy. >> Which is crazy. >> That's crazy. It is. And I've always wanted to my my. my uh my family's very much um some of. the the last living legends of of. surfing or of watermen is like my great. uncle is Buffalo Kolana. >> Bring him up. See if we can get a gander. at him. >> Buffalo Kolana. And Brian Kolana is an. amazing waterman, too. Who's my is my. cousin. And Rusty's a four-time world. champion. So, he's come from a very The. Kolanas. >> Oh, wow. >> That's Uncle Buff.

>> Hell yeah, dude. >> Beautiful Hawaiian man. Yeah. >> Yeah. I think I've seen him on the. pictures of the bronzer at the tanning. salon as well. I think I'll just say. I'll just say this. They're using his. name, image, and likeness over there. Okay. At Suntan City. >> I'll say that fast. Beautiful. >> Dude, that's awesome, bro. >> I always wanted to Yeah. be with him. But that's that's kind of uh. >> that's the family. >> And he still lives over there? >> He does. Yeah. >> Wow. >> Oh, that's beautiful, man. Yeah. Yeah. I. just wonder, do Hawaiians feel like um.

it it seems to me like Hawaiians always. feel like a responsibility to uphold. their culture kind of or that they're. Hawaiian like they like there just seems. to be like a certain like level of. respect that they carry about themselves. with that. >> I think that's true. I think there's a. lot of things that have happened to our. to our people that have it's [snorts]. been very. challenging and what's happened and and. and and getting our identity back, getting our culture back, getting our. language back. So, there's I'm sure. there's a lot of there's a lot of.

things. Yeah. There's a lot of a lot of. terror and trauma that's happened to the. Hawaiian Islands. So, >> dang, >> there's a lot. >> Yeah. I think when you have something. beautiful, people want it, you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. It's so nice. over there, dude. I even Dude, I even. remember one time I was drowning over. there and I remember being like, "Where. else am I going to drown?" Like, it was. so nice. I remember looking back at the. shoreline. Literally, I was snorkeling. and I wasn't doing well. I [snorts] was. losing. And um I remember looking back.

at the shoreline and I thought I was. going to drown and I was like, "What, dude? Where else you going to drown? You. know, you going to drown in a Hampton in. pool somewhere like, you know, outside. of Jacksonville or something?" No, dude. this is where you do it, you know. And. so there was almost this crazy moment of. peace with just how beautiful it was. there, you know? It's a really special. place. >> Where were you when you were drowning, man? >> I was off of I was in Maui. I. >> was there waves. Is it just cuz of deep. water or. >> There were waves, but it was like. >> You just got a little too carried away. and you got too far out maybe. >> Uh yeah, I went snorkeling and it was by.

myself and Bad idea, huh? >> Yeah. It's bad to do anything. Yeah. Go. in the water and do that by yourself. >> Yeah. >> And that's what I realized. It was it. was it was kind of fun. And I remember I. got out there a little bit and I was. like, "Oh man." And then the and then I. would see the fish, but then the water. would go down and then I would just be. like almost like like trying to like not. get on the coral or whatever like being. like that. >> and then it would go back. It was just. like so it just got super scary and then. I was further and further out and I. started getting really really spooked. >> Yeah. Well, there's just different rips. too like. >> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Yeah. I caught I caught a bad rip. >> I think uh Yeah. Every surfer, you know, everyone drowns. Have you ever been at a. drowning before out there? >> Very much so. >> No way. >> Yeah, I've drowned. And uh it's just I. mean it's a beautiful teacher, man. The. oceans of I mean she's ultimate teacher. So. >> it sucks. Drowning sucks. >> Yeah. >> No way about it. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You just see your slow death. It sucks. Everything flashes in and can't move. your arms anymore and you're going down. and you can't breathe. That's when I I.

used to smoke a lot. I smoke cigars. still, but it took me a while to get. back to it. But I uh I used to smoke. like two packs a day. That was pretty. >> what. >> just love love love like roll then I. tried to slow down and I'd be like roll. a pouch and then I'd burn a pouch in a. day just. >> just rolling yourself. >> just love tobacco and. >> damn I can't believe I was a damn smoker. that's inspiring [laughter]. actually dude you can do anything people. >> and that was the hard one to quit I mean. that's I've my fair share of [ __ ] but. it's like u I think smoking was um I.

couldn't suffer my you know for my. family and then when I drowned and I you. Someone took my breath. I came out of. that water and that thing died. And I. mean I tried really hard to stop many. times and I came out and if I tried to. smoke I'd vomit. Like I it my that part. of me just died because it took my. breath and I had to go through it. And. and then the reason I didn't I got saved. is I actually hit the outer reef cuz I. was over a half mile offshore. It's just.

there's two reefs. So, I was on the. outer reef of Maui and it was doing, you. know, some some coast paddling and I hit. the I hit the reef and it just touched. my toe. >> and and uh I just bubbled down, grabbed. the reef and just jumped up and then got. had another wave and I just held on to. the reef and waited and I was out there. for a while. >> Dang. Who rescued you? >> I was with Lar. I was with out surfing. with Lar and um. >> I saw him once at the Whole Foods. >> Yeah, it sounds on point on brand.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> But uh yeah, and um Dave Kalama and my. friend Joe Flanigan. Yeah. But it was uh. my leash snapped and I was stuck out in. the middle of the ocean. So, and it was. just very windy and took the board and. it was gone. So, >> and smoking was done for you. >> Yeah. Never [clears throat] never never. smoked again. >> Damn. >> Look at you guys over here. Just type. quick and get it up. Boom. Boom. Boom. >> Um yeah. I I I was looking at your new. film. It's called The Wrecking Crew. >> I'm excited for you to see it. It's.

funny. >> I saw it. >> Oh, you did? >> Yeah. >> Oh, thank you. >> I've seen it, dude. I know the premiere. was last night, so sorry I missed that, but uh No, I saw it on my computer. They. sent me a screener of it. Um Yeah, dude. It's great. And it's so be it just it's. so nice to be able to just you feel like. you're in Hawaii for a while. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You know, it's just the movies we. grew up with, right? Lethal Weapon, 48. Hour, all these things, buddy cop. movies. >> Yeah. >> Uh I did a TV show with David Batista. He played my brother in C on Apple. >> Oh, yeah. And he plays your brother in. the scone. Sorry.

>> Yeah. Yeah. and we just were really got. really close and it's like you know in. this business when you meet someone you. really like you're like oh we should in. the next one it'd be fun to do a comedy. instead of covered in blood and us. beating each other and uh it was uh so. we I had this this pitch to him and um I. had now it's been for two decades one of. the first things I ever wrote as a pitch. packet and told him and then the next. day he just posted it and and put it out. there and went viral and uh. >> what about you guys doing it together? Yeah. And then attach David Leech to it.

and like and basically like this is what. we're doing. Do you like it? And. everyone freaked out. And my agent's. calling me going like, "What are we. doing?" And like the next morning I'm. like, "Dave, I didn't even know that. Dave would do that." And Dave just like. just did it. >> Me going like, "Yeah, me and you were. doing, you know, twins." You know what I. mean? It just they just put it out there. and uh. >> fraternal twins too. >> Yeah. >> And people were like, "I don't know. [laughter]. >> I don't know.". >> People were like, "This is like before. and after." Yeah. And so, uh, anyways, and our and our.

showrunner, Jonathan Chopper, ended up. writing it. And yeah, it's just, uh, it's just a fun movie that we want to I. wanted to do laugh a little more and. it'll make you, you know, it'll make you. cry. Working out through family trauma, you know, that kind of stuff. Yeah. >> It's never too late. >> Yeah. Yeah. There's some sweet stuff in. it. The the action is really great. I. loved it. I mean, it's just it's a nice. easy It's an easy movie to watch and. it's just super enjoyable and it's a. beautifully shot. It's just like and. it's just in Hawaii just like oh if you. can't afford to take your wife to Hawaii. >> take her to see this movie. >> That's the best pitch.

>> Look, it's not [laughter] bad. >> She spent too much money this weekend. >> Can't quite take her on vacation. >> The Wrecking Crew. You're welcome. >> Look, >> Jason Moa. Thanks, bro. >> Just put a little cocoa butter on her. arms and take her to see the Wrecking. Crew. It's the Tell her it's the same. thing. Okay. You got to tell her it's. the same thing, [laughter] man. Um, was. there ever a movie role where you liked. it kind of so much or the environment. that you were at you liked so much that. you're like, I wish I could stay here. I. wish this was my life kind of.

>> That's interesting question. Where you. just want to stay in that time period or. in that place? >> Yeah. Or even as that person even. Um, I don't think I've I you know, I did. this show, Chief of War, that came out. last year and I think it was really cool. because it's it's all about uh. >> Apple TV. >> It's all about Hawaii. Yeah. It's like. when they're uniting the kingdoms, but. it would have been really beautiful to. be in Hawaii before the white man. arrived and just kind of see that time.

and place and, you know, see what our. people were like, our ancestors. It was. so special to make that show and cuz you. know you grow up in Iowa and you watch. like Last the Moheakans and and then. Braveheart and you see all these things. like oh I would love to see my culture. up there. You watch I love samurai. movies or Native American movies and all. we had was paintings. You know my. grandparents they've never seen a movie. with us wearing all the regalia like and. going into the big battles with no. metal. So it's fish. I mean it's just.

brutal battles. >> The UFC. to the next level. >> Yeah. Before they had. >> [ __ ] shark teeth, dude. Yeah. Like. you're ripping each other apart. So, um. just imagining that or seeing a movie on. that scale, it took me a long time to. make that mo that show because, >> you know, >> Oh, yeah. That's beautiful. And also has. a gay Marty Gro vibe as well. I'll say. that. But that's outside and that that's. just a joke. I think it's very beautiful. of these that you get to even envision. something like this. That's crazy, dude.

>> Oh, man. It's crazy to even get to see. moments like that. Like even just like. on a movie set or something like that. It must be so bizarre to see moments. like that where. >> you seen this. You should see like just. the trailers or something, you know, when you you know where I you have some. spare time. It's it's pretty it's pretty. wild. The the the fight scenes in this. are pretty wild. >> Yeah, that's amazing. >> Yeah. Anyway, so that was uh that was. the first thing I ever created. So, I. was uh co-creator and. produced it, wrote co-wrote it and then.

directed like the finale and started it. So, that was like my big that's my. that's my love letter. Yeah, it's my. baby to my people. So, >> Oh, that's beautiful, dude. And was it. was it something was that special to. your dad or special to like some of your. friends and family from home? >> I think everyone because you have to all. the people I was when I was 19 I hired. on Baywatch to like makeup artists to. craft services to your drivers. They. knew me when I was 19. I'm coming back. at 45 at the time, 44, and coming back. and making something like doing Baywatch.

New Zealand, there's Samoan, there's. there's Tongan, >> there's uh there might have been some. Tian, but like all of us and and and. Kakami, which is us, all these different. people who had different their own. languages, they had to learn this. ancient language. So like everyone in. there doing that is like it's hard. It. was the hardest for me, but um I thought. it would lot been a lot easier, but it. was it was very challenging for me. [snorts]. >> Yeah, the tongans are tough, huh? >> Simone and Tongans are Yeah, they're all.

I don't have to get in a fight with the.

Filipinos. They're kind of like the comfortable. Polynesians, you know?". >> There you go. Yeah. >> And they're the smiling people, you. know? >> They are. And they're the last people. that most people see before they die. because a lot of them work in hospice. care, which is crazy when you think. about that. Imagine you're laying there. and you open up a little.

and it's just some Filipinos. Dude, and they're just singing something nice. to you. >> I mean, it sounds nice. >> That's a portable Hawaii, dude. >> I just hope my my kids are there and. they're looking after me.

Prize Pick is America's number one. sports pick app and the best place to.

win cash while watching sports. The app. is really easy to use. That's what I. love. Just pick more or less on two plus. players and lock your picks in. That's. it. That's my favorite thing. It's just. simple. You pick more or less and it's. specific. Now you got your guys in the. game. And right here's my lineup for the. big game. Tell me if you want. Look, I. don't know what I'm doing, but you can. even follow me on prize picks at the. ovon. And on top of picking lineups, you.

can now pick teams on prize picks. Pick. the winner, total, and spread on the big. game. Team picks are available in 30. states, including California, Texas, and Florida. Boy, GOD, WHERE'S. THE COPS? And right here is who I'm. going with to win the big game next. Sunday. Prize picks. It's good to be. right. Play responsibly. You know, to. me, the future of finances feels. strange. That's why I like to cover my.

bases. And when I want to add more. Bitcoin, Moon Pay is usually the first. app I reach for. You don't need to buy a. full coin, and the whole process is. clean, simple, and easy to understand. Moon Pay has become a major partner of. the show, and I've actually chosen to. accept my compensation from them in. Bitcoin. The Bitcoin lives in my. personal Moon Pay wallet, and it's fully. in my control. Control demo. no one else.

has access to it. With the US dollar. constantly moving up and down, this felt. like a smart way for me to diversify a. bit and potentially get more long-term. value out of the partnership. Just keep. in mind, even though Moon Pay makes it. easy to buy crypto, you should always do. your own research and understand what. you're getting into. Crypto can be. volatile and there's always the. possibility of losing money. Moonay is a. tool to facilitate your transactions, not a source of financial advice. Trade.

Me and David Spade just made a movie. actually that's going to come out in. like two months. >> Shut up. >> Yeah, we wrote it, funded it, everything. I love David Spade. >> Oh, he's the best, dude. Yeah. So, I'm. excited about that. Um. >> Tommy Boy, one of my favorites. >> Oh, that was one of the best ever. Um. was there uh. >> that's just an old time buddy or you.

just were like Yeah. He and I became. friends like four years ago or five. years ago and we became really close. friends and then we uh we started we had. kind of an idea and when he started. writing it took like a year and then we. decided to just self-fund it and it was. like a $4 million budget I think and. then we got I think we got one investor. and um yeah and we made it. We shot in. like 23 days. >> Wonderful. What's this called? >> It was exciting. It's called Bus Boys. It's about two guys who aren't doing. that good and uh one of them loses his. girlfriend to a waiter at a restaurant.

and so we figure if we can become. waiters then everything will be great. >> That's why you're so good at being a bus. boy. You're talking about like what we. were talking about like professional bus. boys. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I channeled this wasn't Yeah. People. like this is just whimsical. What are. you guys doing? No, this is in me [ __ ]. You feel me? >> So yeah, I definitely channelneled that. And David was a bus boy too in Arizona. as well when he was growing up. I They. wouldn't make me a waiter. That was my. last job. Yeah, I was busy at two. places. >> I could see that. I I think I. >> They wouldn't let me. They were They're.

trying to hold me down. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, >> dude. There's a glass ceiling. >> Yeah. >> Never made a waiter. >> Yeah, it's everywhere. >> [ __ ] waiters. >> Bus boys are dope, dude. >> Bus boys are dope. >> Bus boys are dope. >> They're always the coolest. They're. going to have the drugs. They're have. all They're going to know where the. shit's at. >> They're going to have the drugs. They're. going to have the bread. >> Waitresses. You know what I mean? Like, bus boys are dope. >> Yeah. Who going to get extra butter? >> With the dishwasher, like, you know what. I mean? >> Yeah. Who's got extra butter? The bus boys do. >> Yeah, for sure. >> I love salt and pepper. Guess who's got. [laughter] that? >> Yeah. >> Let's go see your waiter do that. No, they're all [ __ ] making more money. than you.

>> Yeah, they're off counting. They're. usually counting their money. >> Sharing their tips is what they're not. doing. >> [ __ ] homie. That's what they're doing, dude. And who's got the extra salt at. >> You know what? I'm going to tip my. waitress less and I'm going to slip my. bus boy more. I haven't been doing that. I'm going to say, "Where's the [ __ ]. bus boy at? I'm going to throw him. I'm. going to throw the homies or homeets. some [ __ ] loot.". >> Started at the bottom. It's all happened. because of Reagan. Because of trickle. down economics. Who started trickle down economics? Bring that up. >> It was Reagan, wasn't it? Give it to the. waiters, they'll give it to the bus. boys. That's not helping. I was just at.

the nurses strike. >> The largest nurses strike in New York. City history is going on right now. >> Right now. >> Yeah. And I just came from it a little. while ago. Um and it was awesome. I like. strikes because it's like being in a. parade kind of because I'm from because. I'm from New Orleans. So it's like. you're definitely partying that a band. out there. Um Yeah. But it's the largest. nurses strike that's ever happened in. New York City. It's going on right now. >> Oh my goodness. >> See if you can play that real quick. There you go. >> Play it right there.

>> They were from New Orleans. >> The band was pretty good. They played um. actually they did uh Abby Road. They did. the whole album. >> really, >> which I thought was impressive, dude. Even that one where it's like bang bang, Maxwell Silver came down upon his head. Yeah. They even played that one and they. only had three instruments. Um, but. yeah, I loved it. I I really enjoyed. that. My sister's a nurse, so I was. like, "Oh, this is going on, dude. I'm. out there." Um, now, did I think I would. meet some hot nurses? Yeah, but a lot of.

them are men these days. Um, which. doesn't mean they can't be hot, but you. know, I had a different bedside manner. in mind, you know. [laughter] So, anyway, moving on. Jason, you pervert. Um, so yeah, do you get to points in your. career because that it is interesting to. to to hear you say where you feel like. um you have like some personal. achievement or some personal a success. or something where you kind of feel like. okay I'm okay you know does that make. any sense to you kind of cuz we're all.

trying to cl like we're all trying to. like everyone's trying to feel like you. know we all want to feel some sort of a. lot of people want to feel some sort of. success right I mean I noticed in my own. life what what makes me feel like okay. I'm I'm I'm okay for me, you know. I mean, it's a it's a very comp it's a. complex I mean there's many things I'm. going through and maybe that's just my. age or like you know I've been like you. were saying trying to accomplish get to. a certain place.

and uh. just because you. just because uh even in those in those. worst times and like maybe not doing the. things I really truly want to be doing. but I'm doing it to put food on the. table and then I get to the place where. I'm actually like, "Wow, I'm producing, writing, doing all these things and this. is my dream come true. Why am I Why was. I happier when I was in the [ __ ]. hole? >> Why was I happier back then? Is it just. cuz it's nostalgic? Is it I mean, why.

was it because I was still hunting? I'm. hungry. I mean, I got to this place. where I considered like, well, I don't. have any more, per se, dreams as an. actor." Like, >> I never thought I'd get this far in the. first place. >> You know what I mean? I. >> the biggest dream to me was to like make. a TV show or movie for my people. Make a. real true authentic Hawaiian story. Like. I did that. And and the comic book I. always read when I was a kid and I'm. [ __ ] playing them. >> Yeah. >> And then you're like the video game that. I [ __ ] loved. I'm [ __ ] playing him.

too. And it's like all these things are. great. And then. >> sometimes you're you it's but you're not. Why do you not feel. >> Does that happen? You think even like in. career like you had such a great career. Does it happen even in careers like. yours? Like do you think that's just a. human thing? I guess I guess it's just a. human thing. Yeah. >> Yeah. But I just like I just try to I. just have gratitude in all of it, man. Because you know I have so many friends. that are maybe could be ill, sick, dying, and just so I mean I'm kind of.

the kind of person like pretty high. energy and I'm really really generally. happy. Like I'm like Christmas morning. every morning. I'm pretty [ __ ] happy. I don't need coffee. I'm jazzed. >> Dang. >> And so I love I love morning. I love. being up and I I don't necessarily sleep. that much. So I'll probably die earlier. >> Yeah. >> But my days are filled. >> Yeah. They're going to be filled with. freaking Filipinos as well, dude. That's. for sure. If this is the rate you're. going, >> but I just I I can't sit still. And I.

think if I don't have those things, I. was pretty self-destructive if I wasn't. creating and constantly doing stuff. So, I think that's what gives me like I. don't necessarily think there's I. measure it by oh because I'm in this. movie or this and this and that. I'm. actually like there's these little. smaller things that I love doing and. >> staying busy. >> Yeah. But it's like the things I really. truly love like I'm an environmentalist. at heart. So there's, you know, I work. as much as I can with different just. it's all the things that the little. small things that probably no one gives. a [ __ ] about that I give about. And it's.

like trying to do those things that I. really love. And it's not about being. necessarily seen, but it's trying to. help in certain things that that I love. and care about. >> Yeah. Do you think like a lot of that. stuff comes back to you more like once. you've kind of gotten to a certain level. or once you kind of cuz life just kind. of gets busy like in your 30s and 40s, life gets busy, right? And especially if. you have a busy career like yours or a. career you have to travel a lot and it's. and it varies from place to place, location to location. I find that it. like um it just gets it gets hard to. focus on some of the smaller things that. are more important to me sometimes. Um,

so do is it easier? Do you feel like. it's easier now in your career to be. able to have more time for those types. of things? >> I don't have any time for those those. things. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I I I have a hard. time saying no. So I say yes to. everything. And I'm like I I I I have I. work a lot. And so if someone comes in, I'm fully loaded. I'm like, "Yeah, I. can't not not say yes." And so I I don't. know. I Here's the thing. I'm doing. everything I love to do, >> right? >> So I don't ever think of it as work. I'm. just doing things I love to do. And so.

that's maybe the biggest honor of it. all. And I think uh I mean that's why I. want my kids now. They look at me, they. like, "Oh, my dad does what he loves to. do, which maybe I didn't when earlier in. my in my life. It was just to like make. sure I can put It was very worrisome. earlier cuz like I said, I wasn't on the. best shows.". >> Yeah. >> I was like people were like, "Oh, why. don't you go do that movie or that?" I'm. like, "I didn't have an agent. I. couldn't get called." Like I couldn't. get those things. And so now I'm in a. good place, but I'm like, oh, I'm making.

up for a lost time. I'm like, there's so. many things I want to do in this life. And so it's a bit crammed in, but I'm. I'm in I' i'm kind of doing everything I. love. >> Yeah. >> I wouldn't say I'm taking care of myself. the best, but I'm like that's. something's got to give. I'm like, [ __ ]. That's why I'm this big. Burn burn this. [ __ ] down. You know what I mean? >> Well, if it's not if there's Here we go. >> Yeah. Here we go, [laughter] dude. Fire. up the truck, huh? Back them up, dude. let him in the room. Um, >> but what about you? I mean, like I dude,

you're [clears throat] you're just blown. up and like in your time, I mean, how. does it feel to you? Do you [snorts]. >> I think this year I started just. recently started thinking having a. little bit more like, okay, I think. everything will be okay, like I'll be. able to eat and have a roof over my head. for the rest of my life. So, I have a. little bit more semblance of like, okay, what does um things look like for like. those around me? What are some other. things that I can put my time into? like. I've been touring mostly for probably. about 17 years for probably half the. weeks, you know, and so um this year I.

don't have any tour dates and so it's. nice to. like be like oh what does this look. like? Like I had like two months with no. three months with no tour dates and I. was like this is crazy. What is this? >> So there's still like a lot of. podcasting and there's still a ton of. work to do with this but it's not like I. have to travel as much. So sometimes for. the first time it feels like my spirit. even can be in like one place where it. can like gather its thoughts, you know. Um I feel like I've just been playing. hideand- go seek with myself for a long.

time just even geographically. Uh so. having some more um just. uh having some more like solace and. being in one spot is has really kind of. helped me just to start to get a look. around me. >> Do you go stir crazy? Cuz we're such. gypsy. We have to, you know, our careers. are. >> a little bit, but sometimes that's a. trap for me. >> I know, but you're like, I need I'm. like, oh my god, I I would love to get. some rest. Then you get like rest for a. solid week and you're like, I got to get. the [ __ ] out of here. >> Yeah, I got to get the [ __ ] out of this. rest.

>> I'm [laughter] just like, my ass hurts, my back hurts. >> Yeah. And you're in a rest area along. the interstate. You're like, this is. insane. >> Like, do you get that where you're just. like, oh man, I got I got to get out. >> Oh, for sure. But I think sometimes I. got to be careful because that's a trap, man. That's just the devil trying to get. me back out. >> Do you work with that in sobriety? Like. is that is like a thing you have to you. do a. >> Yeah, I go to a I go to a meetings and I. go to that stuff. It's been like you. know I've been in and out of sobriety. for 10 years probably mostly in and so. that's been good. So [clears throat] um.

yeah I like it just cuz otherwise yeah I. just can't hand like I'll do too much of. the. >> of the cocaine be honest but you know I. I'll do too much of it and so I just. don't want to be just don't I don't want. to be around it. You know, I'll even. walk and just look straight at the. ground and see if anybody's dropped it. sometimes outside. I'll [ __ ] run right into something. What was that? Not an eightball, I'll. tell you [laughter] that. I just peeped. this whole block. Uh but yeah, man. Dude, I'll tell you this crazy story.

So, one time my friend and I and I. didn't even know anything about drugs. My friend and I are going to my. apartment. He was staying in town. Uh he. was staying in town. He's getting out of. the taxi. He dropped a little thing of. cocaine in the taxi. When I'm getting. out, I just see it on the thing. I pick. it up and put it in my pocket. So, he. didn't tell me that he had ever done. cocaine and he'd been doing it, but he. didn't tell me, right? And um I just. thought he was kind of itchy or. whatever, you know, cuz it was spring. And so, we go in my apartment, he's. like, "Hey, man. Will you help me look.

for something?" And I'm like, "Yeah, what is it?" And he like wouldn't tell. me what it was. And I'm like, "That. doesn't make any sense, but yeah, I'll. help you." You know? So me and him are. walking around looking for something. that I don't know what it is. Okay. And. then I kept sneaking off and doing the. cocaine, right? [laughter] So dude, now. at one point he gave up and went to. sleep. I'm walking around my apartment. looking everywhere for something and I. it was the it was the drugs I was doing. >> Absolute insanity, dude.

>> Absolute insanity, bro. >> So yeah, I mean you just people can get. lost out there. Um, but yeah, dude, >> do you ever read that Miles Davis? You. ever read Miles Davis's uh biography? >> Uhuh. There's this great part where he. was up in Harlem and you know at the. time he's at the peak of his career he. had this Lamborghini let's just say it's. like bright yellow it's snows out it's. snowing outside and he comes up to this. spot and he's in Harlem gets out goes in.

and he's coming back out and he gets. back in the car and he's did he got some. drugs comes back out gets in the car. looks down [clears throat] and he's like. [ __ ] he like drugs are all the coke is. all over the floor and he's [ __ ]. freaking out and he thinks he's going to. get busted by the cops. So, he just gets. out, goes back in, hides in his [ __ ]. closet, waits it out for a couple hours, sweating it out, and he's on the drugs. >> Yeah. >> Comes back out hours later, car's still. there cuz they know it's Miles Davis.

Open up the door and all the drugs are. gone. And he like clicks and he's like, it was [ __ ] snow on his shoes. Oh. when he got in and like totally lost his. mind like he spotty spilled all the I. was like [laughter] that's a good time. >> that was a pro story. >> That's a good time. Yeah. And he didn't. drive which is the best part. >> That's the best part. Good job, Miles. >> October 21st, 1972. Miles Davis, never. mind. Wrecked his coke filled [laughter]. meura and broke both of his legs. So he.

took it for one lap. Jim Glickenhouse. was the first person on scene. miles in. the hospital for a long time and didn't. play for almost a year. Dang. That'll. make you quit doing drugs right there. That'll make you quit smoking, dude. That's his. >> That's his drowning near the reef right. there. >> Dang. [clears throat] If my Dude, but if. my legs were broken, I could still do. cocaine, I think. >> And I hate to say that and don't say. that to your kids. But um what's uh So. now you have children.

>> I've had them, man. >> Yeah. Yeah. Did you collect some along. the way or did not I didn't mean that. but did you like did you have a family. that you had planned or was it just kind. of like did you sort of have children? >> No. Uh yeah. No, I was I was married and. had kids. Yep. >> Oh, nice man. Was it cool being a. father? Like was that like a scary thing. for you? Like um. >> it's actually funny. He's he's just got. into. >> Oh, yeah. Beautiful kids. >> He just got into acting. He's I mean they've been acting and. doing place. Yeah. >> Oh, that's a cool name. Nicoa Wolf, but.

he's uh he's going to be in Dune with. me. >> Dune. >> He's Yeah, he's Leto Jr. >> Dang. >> So, he auditioned on his own and got it. and he killed it. >> Was he geeked? >> I mean, he those guys grew up watching. me, you know, he was sitting on. Affleck's lap and she's sitting with Gal. and you know, we're doing Justice. League. They were like. >> six and eight. Wow. >> When I do Justice League, they grew up. on set with me. So, they just so it's so. much like just Yeah. I mean, he was in a. Batman outfit is for at least 5 years.

Like, the kid is loves all that and love. Dune. And so, yeah, my babies are Lil's. a singer, so she wants to continue in. music. And then Wolf wants to do acting. So, which I was very, it's just such a. gnarly business. So, I'm like, >> yeah, >> I'm like, go be a doctor. Use your. brain. >> Yeah. And go pay these nurses, doc. Um, actually, it's the hospitals that aren't. paying them, but um Yeah, dude. That's. got to be interesting if your kid wants. to go down that road. But then you'll. have a lot of experience too and you'll.

be there to help him. Be supportive in. that way. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And he's doing young so he can try it. out. >> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Guide him. >> You got kids? >> No, I don't have any kids yet. I want to. get some kids. I want to uh Sorry. I. would like to have children. I'm not. trying to get some kids. [laughter]. >> Um No, I want all kids to be free if. they're not if I don't know them. >> Oh man, >> I don't want to know them. That's my new. That's my rule. If I don't know kids, I. don't want to know them. You know, people like, "Hey, I want you to see my.

kids." I'm like, "Fuck no. I don't want. to meet your kids, dude. People are. perverts, man." You know, these. politicians. Um, anyway, what else were. we talking about? >> You got a special lady you're with right. now? >> No, I don't. I that that that's another. free bird right now, too. >> What's that? >> Your free bird. >> Free bird. Yeah. But I would like to. have a I would like to have a a spouse. I would like to have a woman spouse, too. And I would like to Yeah, I I would. like to have that, man. So, it'll. happen. It's just like, you know, I just.

got I think for one, two, I've just been. going all the time. It was like I'd be. like I'd be like dating somebody and I'd. be out of town for a while and you come. back and you're like, "Oh [ __ ] I forgot. about this." And not in a bad way. It's. just like my brain was somewhere else. It's hard for me to focus on stuff. sometimes. So, um I think I just feel. like more of that semblance of like, okay, now this maybe could be more. manageable, but I got to change some of. my own ways and stuff like that a little. bit too and and uh and be more. purposeful. I think about just like just. different prayer and different things. like that overall, you know. So,

>> you come from a big family? You got. brothers and sisters? >> Yeah, I got three siblings and uh one of. them is married. >> You're you're a baby. >> I'm the middle one of the middle kids. Two boys and two girls. So, we got a. good little group. >> Yeah. Um but. yeah, nobody in my family can swim that. good though. We're not Yeah. land. people. >> Yeah. >> If you need us, we'll be on the land. You know, that's our motto, dude. [laughter]. That's our family motto.

And it's just kind of like, yeah, I. I respect him and I and and then when we. met, we're very different, but like. super, you know, um. there's no ego, there's no like we're. very supportive of each other. where you. understand the story. Like it's just a. wonderful when you find an acting. partner that you just.

>> you're there for the story instead of. like your career. You're. >> a lot of guys a lot of famous dudes. can't bleed or can't get hurt. I'm like. [ __ ] I die in everything.

Like I've. never even been in a a romcom, you know? Like my first comedy was last year with. with with Jack Black doing Minecraft. So. like, you know, it's just now finally. catching on that I can. >> do other stuff.

>> Yeah. I'm not just getting my ass kicked. and dying all the time. >> Yeah. You're not just a bouncer who's. freaking going to the salon or whatever. >> Yeah. I think after like Game of.

then there's like three different types. of plastic on it that we can't recycle. Just goes into our land and goes into. our landfills. And I'm a father. I don't. want to see plastic. We don't need. single- use plastic. Generally, I carry. my own water bottle when I go to the. airport. You fill it up. Eight years. ago, they didn't even make they didn't. even have aluminum for water. So, I. [clears throat] went to Ball, the people. who make those cans, and I went to the. aluminum company. I said, "I'm going to. make a water bottle with you, a water. aluminum cans." And they're like, "We're.

not a Yeah, he had it to me, baby. Um, we're not a we're not a um this is it. >> a water company." I was like, "Well, you. are now. I'm awful, man. Let's do this.". So, we we set out to do it. And then we. end we ended up making the first like. screw can. It went back on and uh so we. made Monalo and then it changed. Well, now it's got our we put our movie on. there. Oh, great. >> So, we put the labels on there. >> But see how it's got Monalo printed on. the top. And so. >> once we kind of stopped singleuse. plastic and now cuz at the time I went.

to Dani and I went to I went to the blue. and the red guy, Coke and Pepsi and I. was like would you do this? Would you. make the aluminum? and they're like, "Doesn't make sense to us cuz it's. easier to do plastic." But anything. that's in plastic, it's just leeching in. there. It's just poison, man. You You. don't want to be drinking out of plastic. bottles, man. >> Yeah. That's what I think about a lot of. times, especially now with people. talking about all the bad stuff that's. in our food and our water. It's become. such like a, you know, such a talking. point right now. Um, >> it's Yeah, I thought a lot about how do. you find water that isn't? Cuz most of. the water is in plastic. And even if you.

look up like what's the best water that. doesn't have plastics in it, you know, they won't even really tell you. It's. all these like kind of gimmick videos. that lead you to buy certain things. usually to buy water purifiers and. stuff. >> Yeah. But I mean the idea is just to go. so now we kind of changed now that they. are making those we made a circular. system. So we're now on powered by. Boomerang and it's actually it's pretty. cool man like the idea is to be in. starting with Hawaii mainly is to be. like in hospitality. here in hotels,

hospitals, schools where imagine just. going to your room and you got a crate. like a milk crate and there's all your. water in there and you drink it and you. put it back and then down in the. basement there's a machine. It's a. circular system. It it sterilizes it. It. fills it with your natural local water. source and put some minerals back into. it and cleans it and makes it so it's. fresh water. It's not. >> packaged up. It's there's no emissions. It's not sitting in some crate in some. warehouse stagnant dead water. It's.

fresh water always. And if there was a. CO or anything like that, each hotel. would still operate. The water still. operates, right? So you can still have. fresh water and it's just bottled up. Think of it as like you go into a. restaurant, you eat, you eat with their. plates and their fork and you're done, you leave, you come back, you're going. to use, you're not going to take [ __ ]. home. You just, it's just a container. for it. And so it's constantly reusable. and recyclable. So you're cutting out. waste. Now the idea was just to cut. waste. So because even when you're. having the aluminum bottles, you still. got to recycle those. And um so it's.

just the idea is just to either if. you're not carrying your own stuff, it's. pretty cool that you can go to a hotel. and you know that it's it's there's no. not only are you not doing waste, it's. getting recycled. So it's a full. circular. >> That's incredible, man. >> Just to kind of get rid of the single I. mean just to cut all that [ __ ] down cuz. it's just absolutely ridiculous. >> Yeah. Yeah, when you think. >> the idea of like taking shitty water, putting it in plastic bottles, shipping. it to a place like Hawaii, which has the. best water in the world, we drink it, and then the [ __ ] ends up in our ocean. or a landfill. So, it's the dumbest. thing in the world. I'm going to try to.

do that in Hawaii first. So, I mean, obviously, we're self-contained plan. Earth. We didn't need anyone. We can We. were self-contained at one time. So, if. we can just do that with all our tourism. and people come from all over the world. getting married and they get to see what. they're doing and each hotel. So, we. have four se all different hotels, four. seasons and Twin Fin, all these. different places where it'll have their. it'll have their label on it. So, it's. it's it's still all there. So, the. advertising is for them. It's just we're. trying to. >> stop the waste. >> Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Dude, when I.

even think about just how many bottles I. like I probably drink seven bottles of. water a day. >> So, that's seven empty bottles. It's. like that's just me. That's ridiculous. >> Oh, bro. It's just it's the most archaic. thing that we're drinking out of plastic. bottles. But I mean, so we we're doing. it in a business side and eventually. we'll try to get it where, you know, we'll have depot for it. But I mean, the. idea is to get people doing it because. in every school kids can be doing this. >> Well, I like the idea too that you can. have your thing at home that you could. just that that would then be able to. refill it. I I think that's pretty. novel. >> Yeah. >> Um,

>> thanks buddy. It's Yeah, it's Monalo. powered by Boomerang. you can check it. out. And that's that's the goal is to, you know, let just another thing to try. to fix in a very broken world. And we. don't need that pollution in our in our. oceans. >> Aquaman, you heard it. >> You heard it, man. >> Have you ever been a lifeguard or not? >> Yeah, that's why my whole family are. watermen. Yeah, they're all lifeguards. Yeah. I went to I went to junior. lifeguards my whole life when I was. growing up. >> Dang, that's like. I wish I could be a lifeguard when I. >> It's pretty cool when you save someone's. life. I saved a person's life before.

like in the ocean. Yeah. And it's it's. it's it's when you do junior life cards, it's really cool to to really take your. time. Things slow down. I'm sure it's. probably like a firefighter like I'd. panic in a fire, but I think if I saw so. many of them and I practiced, you know, most people go, "Oh shit." And then they. they they freak out. Whereas the natural. calm come kind of comes over you and you. just like assess the whole situation so. you can both get out alive. You. understand the rip. You understand what. the ocean's doing. >> and you had to save somebody. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Was that in Hawaii? >> Yeah. >> Wow. But I mean it's just the and I'm.

like I said I've been many times like. drowned and like it can you get cut you. get caught in a rip. >> Yes. >> You it's taking you out. You're not. going to beat the ocean and you can. literally be I mean I've been at. pipeline a leash snapped and I'm. literally. 8 ft from the shore but it's like a. river going by and you're swimming. trying to get in like it's eight feet. and you're just getting burned out. >> Yeah. >> And you're like there are cameras. everywhere. There are people right. there. I could yell for help and I look. like a idiot. I'm going to drown in 8 ft. of water.

>> Yeah. >> And the current's so it's just the that. the that undertoe is just pulling your. feet out and it's going to exhaust you. and it generally you just got to go with. it. It's going to take you out to sea. and it'll dump you back in. But that's. they everyone drowns like that. It's. just you got to watch out for the rips. So go jumping into the [ __ ] ocean and. then if you see a sign don't go in. That's why I mean. >> don't be stupid. >> You're like the Yogi Bear of the ocean. kind of. remember him? >> Oh, I do. You put out those fires, kids. >> Yeah, dude. Put them out. >> You know what I'm saying?

>> I know. He was so adamant. >> He was talking to me the other day. I. built a fire and I was like, "That's. Everything's green around here.". >> Yogi was. >> Yeah, in my head. Cuz you guys were. psychos. >> But I was like, "Listen, I could dump. out.". >> Oh, Smokey the Bear, dude. Sorry. [laughter]. Who did I say? >> Yogi. >> Who's Yogi Bear? >> Yogi Bear's piggy. >> Oh, dude. He's starting the fires then. [laughter]. God, he's probably on subboxing or. whatever by now. Oh yeah, he's not doing. well. I think he was a stepdad, too. You.

can tell by his outfit. [laughter]. >> You could tell by that outfit. He was. [clears throat] definitely trying to. meet a lady. >> that already had kids probably, too. >> Not like the Bernstein bear where he was. locked in. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> He was just a dumb dad. >> That guy was a family man. >> He was. He was. >> Yeah. Bernstein was a family man. >> I love me some Bernstein. >> God, they were good. >> Especially like the fall issues. always. I always got snuggled down when I read. those ones. >> And the sc one remember there was that. one scary book or whatever there was a. fire or whatever and people were like no. no fires in the stained bears and people.

flipped out and [ __ ]. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah, dude. People just cannot handle. real [ __ ] That's the kind of thing I'm. talking about. Was there ever was there. was there a time in a movie where you. were training for something? It was like. one of the toughest things you ever had. to actually train for or does it never. go that far with training? Yeah, I mean training for. [sighs]. training for Aquaman was pretty was. pretty challenging. Um, I'd have to say maybe the.

Yeah, I'd say probably Aquaman's. probably the hardest I've ever had to. train. I'm not a very like I'm not like. a gym rat. I just like to do things, rock climbing, you know, go surfing and. things like that, but actually like get. you do that for a roll. I don't. necessarily like, >> you're not in there getting pumped every. day, like a maniac or taking SARS or. whatever. >> I just want to do the things I love to. do. Yeah. [clears throat] But I'm Yeah. >> You're not like some subs monkey that's. over there GNC every day or something. >> Supplements guy. >> Yeah. I don't even do like sh. >> creatine all that. Oh yeah.

>> I like to eat food. >> Damn. >> That's my I like to eat. >> Yeah. >> I'm Hawaiian, >> dude. Yeah. You got to get fat when you. get older. >> Yeah. I'm definitely going that way. >> Hell yeah. I can't wait to get fat. >> I'm trying not to, baby. But. >> soon as I get married, I'm getting fat. and then I'm getting divorced, too. [laughter]. >> I can't wait to get divorced. Um, what else? So, people should go see The. Wrecking Crew. It's a great film. It's. fun. It's. >> Yeah, it's good, actually. It's feel. good. You get to go to Hawaii, you know.

If you can't make it there, put on the. Wrecking Crew. >> Yeah. >> Let me and Dave take care of you. >> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. >> Yeah. Work out some trauma in your. family. Open up a can of dole pineapple. for your lady. >> and put on the wrecking crow. >> Yeah, >> it's almost the same thing. >> Some shaved coconut. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? Some mounds. >> Oh, dude. >> Bust out a couple of those. >> My dad used to give us mounds sometimes. when we're good. >> Not a lot then, huh? [laughter]. >> Not a lot. Not a lot of mounds. Um,

yeah, dude. Thanks so much for taking. time. I know you had a long day, man. I. know it's like kind of a pain in the. ass. And uh. >> it's not, man. I don't do podcasts that. much cuz I always get in trouble. So, you're my second and it was wonderful. And dude, I'm just It's awesome to meet. you, man. >> Yeah, it's a pleasure, man. Thanks for. all the awesome entertainment and um. yeah, thanks for just sitting and. sharing some of your experiences and. story with me. >> You know, there's one thing, too. You. know, the thing that you have with uh Oh. my goodness, David Spade. >> Uh when we were at the 50s SNL, >> he was there.

>> Yeah. So, I saw I saw him when we were. there. My daughter is like a massive. massive fan of Brooklyn 999. And so Andy. Samberg's like her dude she loves the. most. So I saw him about last person I'm. leaving. I see him and I go, "Dude, my. daughter loves you. Can I please get a. picture with you?" And I send the video. to my daughter and I said, "Hey, listen. If there's anything, I'd love to do. something with you." About 3 weeks. later, he pitches his story in Hawaii. It's amazing. I laugh my ass off. We.

instantly sell it. I'm going in two. weeks to go shoot it in Hawaii. No way. >> A [ __ ] year later. No, with with. Samberg. But yeah, but I'm just saying. it's the same thing where you've just. likeminded friends. I thought you were. saying. >> Yeah, just friends and buddies meet in. the comedy. Like I've never met him. before. It's just through my daughter, but you see something and you're like, dude, >> and you make a friend. >> But like I'm saying, you got anything in. there and you want to, you know, you see. me, you see like, oh dude, Mimo would be. like, "Oh my god, >> I'm going to think it'd be fun. This. would be fun to be in." You know what I. mean? >> I'm going to think something good. You're Paul Bunion.

[laughter]. >> I could be the Blue Ax, bro. You could. be Paul Bunion. I don't know, >> babe. I'll be Babe. >> Yeah, you'll be Babe the Blue Ox then. [laughter] And we got to find somebody. to be Paul Bunan. I'm going to be the. brother that's on methadone. >> But we'll figure it out. >> We'll figure it out, homie. >> Jason Mo, thanks so much, man. Go see. the record crew, guys. Now I'm just. falling on the breeze and I feel I'm. falling like [music] these leaves. I. must be corner stone.

Oh, but when I reach that ground [music]. I'll share this piece of mind I found. I. can feel it in my bones. But it's going to take.
