just whacks her right in the head like That's

00:04:34.379 --> 00:04:37.819
going from assault to fucking murder or attempted

00:04:37.819 --> 00:04:41.939
murder. Anchorman, yes. Gotta love Anchorman.

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:45.680
I got another one. Chad, have you heard this

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.079
milk crate challenge? I've seen a couple of these

00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.439
videos and I feel like I could do it. You mean

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.180
where they stack the milk crates? Yeah. Oh, dude,

00:04:53.259 --> 00:04:55.019
that was going around like years ago. Is it back?

00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.639
Well, I'm just catching videos of, like I said,

00:04:57.660 --> 00:04:59.620
my feed's all fucked up, but I feel like I could

00:04:59.620 --> 00:05:01.480
do it. So maybe next time in New York, we'll

00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.600
set this up and I'll... come around and try to

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.959
do it. Yeah, I've seen too many people fall on

00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.319
that one. Some of those videos are whack. It's

00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:12.259
like, it's just fucking crumple. Well, here we

00:05:12.259 --> 00:05:32.639
go. Here's a couple for you. I put the pads down,

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:42.300
man. Why are you just standing there? Oh, that

00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:45.779
was another head plant, bro. Are there any videos

00:05:45.779 --> 00:05:48.360
of people successfully doing it? I haven't seen

00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:55.459
one. They got it, too. Broken back, bro. Broken

00:05:55.459 --> 00:06:06.589
back, dude. No way. My God. And he walks off

00:06:06.589 --> 00:06:09.610
like he's cool. He's like, I'm good. Here's the

00:06:09.610 --> 00:06:10.870
next question. Where'd they get all the milk

00:06:10.870 --> 00:06:14.209
crates? True. Oh, here's one of the guys. We

00:06:14.209 --> 00:06:18.730
used to steal those for cables. Like every band,

00:06:18.889 --> 00:06:20.730
every local band would have milk crates with

00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:23.670
their mic cables and shit in it. Ah, makes sense.

00:06:23.850 --> 00:06:28.230
That was a big asset to have. Milk crates. Yeah,

00:06:28.230 --> 00:06:31.470
for sure. But isn't that crazy, dude? I feel

00:06:31.470 --> 00:06:34.689
like we witnessed some... Broken necks there,

00:06:34.829 --> 00:06:39.790
some chest havens. Anything like that scares

00:06:39.790 --> 00:06:42.290
the crap out of me. Ever since I severed my tricep

00:06:42.290 --> 00:06:44.689
tendon falling in my kitchen, I don't like ice.

00:06:44.769 --> 00:06:49.050
I don't like any slippery surfaces. No! I don't

00:06:49.050 --> 00:06:50.850
want to do that again. I've got trauma. I've

00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:54.269
got PTSD, man. You do. You know what I'm saying?

00:06:54.870 --> 00:06:57.490
Once you hurt a part of your body and realize

00:06:57.490 --> 00:07:00.089
you're not as invincible as you once were, you

00:07:00.089 --> 00:07:02.839
do get a little PTSD from it. Yeah, do you have

00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:08.019
a little bit from the car thing? Yeah. Yeah,

00:07:08.100 --> 00:07:13.959
for sure. But more just, you know, can't wait

00:07:13.959 --> 00:07:17.779
to get full mobility, man. That's the key. But

00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:21.980
yeah, for sure. I would have some of these if

00:07:21.980 --> 00:07:26.879
I was a tree chopper, Mr. Gracie. Some of these

00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.139
things, I'm like, what are you folks doing here,

00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:48.439
man? Oh, yeah. Look. Oh, right off. Oh, no. There

00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.759
goes your line. This goes to this guy's house,

00:07:51.759 --> 00:08:01.399
I think. Oh. Wow. Oh. That does not look healthy.

00:08:02.980 --> 00:08:10.259
Not bad, though. Oh, he's dropped another tree.

00:08:10.579 --> 00:08:15.180
Put him in the ground, bro. Oh, wow. Oh, my God.

00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:21.180
Oh, wow. This just shows how delicate we are.

00:08:21.300 --> 00:08:25.480
Yeah, there's that house. Gone. Oh, Jesus. Another

00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:32.450
house. Gone. You always got to watch out for

00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:35.490
that fucking man. He almost got hit with the

00:08:35.490 --> 00:08:39.570
chainsaw, bro. Yeah. That's called bucking. Bucking.

00:08:39.870 --> 00:08:43.490
Yeah. Not fucking, bucking. Right. Well, here's

00:08:43.490 --> 00:08:45.710
the funny part is I'm sure these people are doing

00:08:45.710 --> 00:08:48.029
this to save themselves some money. They're like,

00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.990
yeah, I could do this. And then either they're

00:08:50.990 --> 00:08:53.309
in the hospital or they cause their house like

00:08:53.309 --> 00:08:56.830
$30 ,000 in damage. There was definitely some

00:08:56.830 --> 00:08:59.049
professional crews in there, too, though. True.

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.899
Just judging from the gear they had on, you'd

00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:04.840
think, you never know, man. It's unpredictable

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.320
what those trees are going to do. That's true,

00:09:07.379 --> 00:09:09.460
because they had those bucket trucks and shit.

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:11.559
Normally, you know, normal people wouldn't have

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.399
that. Yeah, that guy that crushed his front Porsche,

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.179
he looked like an amateur, like he was just trying

00:09:15.179 --> 00:09:21.740
to save money. Yeah. Not to bring up conspiracy,

00:09:21.779 --> 00:09:24.419
I want to play this video and just see what you

00:09:24.419 --> 00:09:27.700
think of this, Chad. I've barked about this a

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:32.009
couple times. But just the difference between

00:09:32.009 --> 00:09:36.470
these buildings. I'm not going to set it up.

00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:38.029
I'm just going to play it, and then we'll talk

00:09:38.029 --> 00:09:44.950
about it. Is this Hong Kong? Yeah. So look at

00:09:44.950 --> 00:09:48.149
that entire building, bro. And then look at the

00:09:48.149 --> 00:09:50.129
fire to the right. It's just like part of the

00:09:50.129 --> 00:09:53.950
building. Yep. A couple floors. Here's the aftermath

00:09:53.950 --> 00:09:57.059
now. Our building to the right just comes down,

00:09:57.100 --> 00:09:59.500
controlled demolition. These buildings are still

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:04.559
up. And I don't know who builds better buildings,

00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:08.919
Americans or Hong Kong mesians. I mean, I had

00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.600
seen videos of this, and I was thinking about

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.820
this because I've seen people talking about this.

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.480
Yeah. The outside of those buildings was covered

00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:21.320
with bamboo scaffolding. They still that's all

00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.460
they use still in China is bamboo scaffolding.

00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:25.440
So all those buildings were covered with bamboo

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.779
scaffolding. And I'm saying that because of the

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:30.840
outside of the scaffolding burnt, but it didn't

00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:34.759
burn inside very much. I mean, I'm just speculating.

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:36.460
I don't know exactly, but I don't know. A lot

00:10:36.460 --> 00:10:39.019
of people have died, unfortunately, but that

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:41.240
makes sense on the outside with the scaffolding.

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.379
gotcha okay so that makes sense because i was

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:45.639
wondering how the fire jumped between buildings

00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.100
but if it had bamboo scaffolding on the outside

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:51.320
that would make sense how it um yeah well way

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.879
too that's what they that's they still use traditional

00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.519
bamboo scaffolding for like high rises and stuff

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.159
it's nuts well you're not adding to the conspiracy

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.840
that we fucked that building up on our own i

00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.559
mean i'm not denying that i mean that was a controlled

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.659
demolition So I looked into because so so we

00:11:09.659 --> 00:11:11.799
do bring up some conspiracy theories on your

00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.120
show like that. But I did look into the Anne

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.820
Heche thing, the video where she pops up out

00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:17.500
of the thing. Yeah. Out of the body bag, basically.

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:20.960
Yeah. So it's not a body bag. It's a burn bag.

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:25.320
So she was alive there and she was brought to

00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:27.620
the hospital. She died days later. She was after

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:29.799
that was like in a coma for a couple of days.

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:33.799
So so that's the debunked myth again, is it?

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:36.159
BS, I don't know. It's still freaking crazy what

00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.659
happened. Yeah. I never saw anybody give an explanation

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:41.639
about it. They just, like, covered it on the

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.559
news. She pops up. Oh, look at that. And then

00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.580
she goes back in. No one ever, like, go. Right.

00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:50.639
I saw everyone. No one was ever like, oh, that

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.519
was a burn bag. Makes sense. The only thing that

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.460
made me believe it was is they were saying, like,

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:58.399
body bags are usually dark blue or black. They're

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.080
zipped up fully. This was kind of like a white.

00:12:01.470 --> 00:12:03.690
you know, bag over and it was a burn bag. So,

00:12:03.710 --> 00:12:07.389
okay, maybe, but supposedly she was working on

00:12:07.389 --> 00:12:10.149
some movie beforehand. I don't know if it was

00:12:10.149 --> 00:12:12.549
filmed and coming out, but it was about sex trafficking.

00:12:12.629 --> 00:12:15.909
So who knows? Well, there's that whole conspiracy

00:12:15.909 --> 00:12:20.330
theory with Chris Cornell and, and Chester Bennington

00:12:20.330 --> 00:12:22.970
as well, that they were working on some child

00:12:22.970 --> 00:12:27.750
trafficking documentary. Yep. Who knows? We don't

00:12:27.750 --> 00:12:32.440
know. We don't know. Yeah, just crazy stuff,

00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:36.919
man. And you got to wonder, you know, like, is

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.379
that the case? Like, was she, you know, on the

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:42.639
precipice of something? Because it's just crazy

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:46.899
that a lot of these people that, like, I forget.

00:12:46.980 --> 00:12:48.879
There was a bunch of people, like you said, Chester

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.279
Bennington, I think Chris Cornell, like all these

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:54.509
people that. I think Electric Gnosis talked about

00:12:54.509 --> 00:12:56.570
it where these people died with the hanging of

00:12:56.570 --> 00:12:57.929
themselves and stuff like that. And it's like

00:12:57.929 --> 00:13:02.409
a symbol and sign. Yeah. Yeah. These people were

00:13:02.409 --> 00:13:05.649
about to talk about something freaky. But here's

00:13:05.649 --> 00:13:07.590
a video. And they had Isaac Cappy, of course.

00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:10.450
Right. You brought that up on here. And then

00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:13.029
I looked into him. That's fucking freaky. Crazy,

00:13:13.070 --> 00:13:16.289
right? Yeah. Can you remind me a little bit about

00:13:16.289 --> 00:13:19.730
that, though? Well, he kind of came out of nowhere.

00:13:19.830 --> 00:13:21.710
He was best friends with Seth Green forever and

00:13:21.710 --> 00:13:24.570
ever. Yeah. And he tells a story where he went

00:13:24.570 --> 00:13:26.710
to Seth Green's house one night and Seth Green's

00:13:26.710 --> 00:13:30.769
talking about, you know, just kids, I guess,

00:13:30.789 --> 00:13:32.529
little kids. And he was like, what the fuck?

00:13:32.610 --> 00:13:34.409
Like he freaked out and they started making these

00:13:34.409 --> 00:13:36.710
videos and he was talking about Spielberg, Tom

00:13:36.710 --> 00:13:40.350
Hanks, all these A -list actors that are supposedly

00:13:40.350 --> 00:13:42.909
into this. And he says, I'm not suicidal. The

00:13:42.909 --> 00:13:44.870
next thing you know, he's supposedly jumping

00:13:44.870 --> 00:13:48.090
off a bridge in Arizona and gets killed. And

00:13:48.090 --> 00:13:50.269
isn't it crazy, Chad, that nobody's looking.

00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:52.860
Looking into that shit further, like, there's

00:13:52.860 --> 00:13:55.500
so many people that say they're not suicidal

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:58.320
and then end up dead days later, and it's just

00:13:58.320 --> 00:13:59.759
like, oh. Yeah, I mean, like, Virginia Giuffre,

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.940
too. Giuffre, the, yeah. Yeah. Epstein whistleblowers.

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.720
Her book is out. That'd probably be an interesting

00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.740
book to read. True. Did that come out before

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:14.039
or after her death? It's out right now, so I

00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:18.120
think, obviously, after she died last year. Here's

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.860
Mel Gibson. talking about i think something that

00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:22.679
we're on the precipice of talking about here

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:28.000
i was oh god i was in my my mid -20s right the

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.720
first time i really came over here you know i

00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.139
had a whole bunch of weird paranoid suspicions

00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:35.840
about what the hell was going on because there

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:37.740
was a lot of stuff i couldn't understand right

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:41.419
um and nobody was really bothering to explain

00:14:41.419 --> 00:14:50.340
it to me they don't and i formed a bunch of opinions

00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:54.299
about the town and about the people in it that

00:14:54.299 --> 00:15:00.519
were like, surely that couldn't be because a

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.360
whole place can't be like, you know, weird town,

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:06.799
you know, where the stranger wanders in and all

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:08.519
the people are in the bar and they all shut up

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.799
when he looks at them and they tell you don't

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:14.019
go out of the house on the hill. It's like that.

00:15:16.590 --> 00:15:18.970
And then you go away and you think, no, I was

00:15:18.970 --> 00:15:21.169
wrong. I mean, that's insane thinking. I'm paranoid.

00:15:21.509 --> 00:15:25.309
I imagined that stuff. That couldn't be the reason

00:15:25.309 --> 00:15:27.990
for why so -and -so was acting like, could it?

00:15:28.110 --> 00:15:30.370
And then you find out later on the track that

00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:33.049
you were exactly on track with a lot of this

00:15:33.049 --> 00:15:36.769
stuff. Not specifically on track, but that you

00:15:36.769 --> 00:15:39.970
could, that some of your worst nightmares were

00:15:39.970 --> 00:15:43.870
real at the time. And you think, freaky. It does.

00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:49.840
Freaky diggy. Yeah, I mean, he's, you know, talking,

00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:53.799
using, like, vague stuff, but you kind of get

00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.980
the gist of what he's saying, I think. Yeah.

00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:59.820
Get the gist, baby. Well, let's speak to somebody

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:02.340
who's actually been in Hollywood. Let's bring

00:16:02.340 --> 00:16:06.379
on our next guest, Mr. Larry Hankin. What up

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:12.360
there, Larry? Been there, done that. He's a pro.

00:16:13.970 --> 00:16:19.129
Yeah, yeah. You got to outgrow that stuff. Larry,

00:16:19.230 --> 00:16:22.690
is that why you took yourself out of Hollywood?

00:16:22.710 --> 00:16:25.409
You were tired of trafficking people and being

00:16:25.409 --> 00:16:29.110
part of that crew? I was tired of being trafficked.

00:16:29.429 --> 00:16:34.149
Oh, there you go. Had to remove himself from

00:16:34.149 --> 00:16:37.710
that situation. For sure. Well, welcome back,

00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:39.740
Larry. Good to have you on again. Thank you.

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:42.299
It's great to be, it's great to be somewhere,

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:46.620
man. Hey, just anywhere. I love it. Anywhere,

00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:52.980
but here, that's my next book. So I think the

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:55.179
last time we spoke, Larry, we were like in the

00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:58.200
height of lockdowns and stuff. It was, I think

00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.059
20. Yeah. Yeah. 2021, somewhere around there.

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.700
Have you been venturing out since they've let

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:06.380
us out and stuff like that? Have you seen the

00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:11.339
world a little bit? Well, Actually, no. I mean,

00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.460
I haven't been in, I've been here. I've been

00:17:15.460 --> 00:17:18.940
here. And then every once in a while I'll venture

00:17:18.940 --> 00:17:22.460
out. But no, I've been, I've been writing. Not

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:24.720
that we're going to talk about it right now,

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:27.759
but, but I mean, I really have been writing,

00:17:27.819 --> 00:17:32.859
like I'm not kidding around. So, so I would go,

00:17:32.900 --> 00:17:36.990
I would notice because Hollywood is really very

00:17:36.990 --> 00:17:39.890
social. It's, it's, it's a, it's built on, it's

00:17:39.890 --> 00:17:44.789
a social city or the Hollywood that Nell was

00:17:44.789 --> 00:17:50.150
talking about. It, it's, you know, you just have

00:17:50.150 --> 00:17:53.309
to know people. Yeah. That's how you get jobs

00:17:53.309 --> 00:17:56.170
and blah, blah, blah. So I don't know that many

00:17:56.170 --> 00:17:58.990
people. I'm not a friendly person. You know,

00:17:59.009 --> 00:18:04.329
I, I'm, I'm not an unfriendly person. It's just

00:18:04.329 --> 00:18:08.440
that I'm. I'm not out there. Sure. And I'm mixing

00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:10.319
it up all the time. I would go for like two,

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:15.119
three days without saying a word. Wow. Yeah.

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:20.220
I would go out for supplies. It gets really...

00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:23.099
And then you just think, well, this is normal.

00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.279
I guess what Mel was talking about, all of a

00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.359
sudden this weirdness, you see, oh, it's normal.

00:18:29.660 --> 00:18:35.299
This is what we're doing. This is it. If I didn't

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:37.259
talk for three days because I was just in the

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:40.839
house, you know, typing or sleeping or, you know,

00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:43.799
you think, well, oh, this is normal. Okay. And

00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:47.200
then you go out when you finish typing and you

00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.660
send it away and you got to go outside. Do you

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:54.160
get a little overwhelmed? Yeah. Yeah. I just

00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.019
went to a birthday party, you know, for a friend,

00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:03.319
an elder gentleman. And I had no, I had no conversation.

00:19:04.140 --> 00:19:07.619
You know, I had no small talk. You know, every

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:09.960
time I brought something up, it was something

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:15.079
weird. You know, what did I say? Well, you know,

00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:17.359
it's consciousness, you know. I mean, I don't

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:20.259
think we can handle consciousness. I think it

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:22.779
was something I tried to add to the table talk.

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:28.240
And it just, you know, it just went, wow. And

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:32.259
I thought, yeah, I'm not with it yet. I just

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:35.039
got to give more time to come, you know, to acclimate.

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:37.440
Well, for the headspace that you're trying to

00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.980
be in though, it's kind of the best place to

00:19:38.980 --> 00:19:42.619
be like alone and bored is like a recipe for

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:44.539
good creativity. So if you're trying to run.

00:19:45.339 --> 00:19:48.819
No, no. Well, it works the other way around.

00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:51.920
It's I'm alone and creative. And then when I

00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:54.440
finished off the creative, then you get bored

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:57.500
and you've already done the creative. So you're

00:19:57.500 --> 00:20:01.539
just stuck with the board. Yeah. Yeah. That's

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:07.180
scary. Boredom is scary to me. I mean, it's not

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:10.240
dangerous. It's just, it's just weird. It's just,

00:20:10.339 --> 00:20:13.579
I have nothing to do. Yeah. Well, I just finished

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:16.579
a book. I'm just like tired. I just went. So

00:20:16.579 --> 00:20:19.380
I, you go out and you ride your bike, you know,

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:23.539
that's what you do. Yeah. Yeah. And you slowly

00:20:23.539 --> 00:20:27.470
acclimate. I went away, you know, these Comic

00:20:27.470 --> 00:20:31.069
-Con things. I go to Comic -Con, you know. So

00:20:31.069 --> 00:20:35.509
you see a lot of that kind of gets you back into

00:20:35.509 --> 00:20:39.509
socializing. Sure. Thousands of people come and

00:20:39.509 --> 00:20:41.970
you sign your name. But also the other actors

00:20:41.970 --> 00:20:44.230
who come from all over the country, and not just

00:20:44.230 --> 00:20:47.170
from Hollywood. You know, they live other places.

00:20:47.630 --> 00:20:51.130
Right. And so you're hanging out with at least

00:20:51.130 --> 00:20:54.720
your... You're, you're, what are you? You're

00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:00.579
Karas. There you go. And so you can, you can

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:02.660
talk. And even if you get, you know, you talk

00:21:02.660 --> 00:21:05.920
a little weird because you're not used to socializing.

00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.660
They totally understand that they get it. You

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:13.960
know? Yeah. Fine. It seems like Larry, they're

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.059
expecting more from people nowadays. Like you,

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:18.059
you sat there, you wrote two books and stuff.

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.160
It's like, it seems like they want content kind

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.109
of cranked out. uh almost deadly from people

00:21:23.109 --> 00:21:26.190
nowadays are you finding that like that that's

00:21:26.190 --> 00:21:28.789
the human thing that's the that's the point i'm

00:21:28.789 --> 00:21:31.269
making about consciousness we can't handle it

00:21:31.269 --> 00:21:35.349
it's too much it's overwhelming just consciousness

00:21:35.349 --> 00:21:38.190
i mean that's what we bring to the table of the

00:21:38.190 --> 00:21:42.970
universe consciousness right and we're just getting

00:21:42.970 --> 00:21:46.500
you know it's just it's like okay give me a cup

00:21:46.500 --> 00:21:49.059
of coffee and you just pour it and you just keep

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:51.519
pouring and it's going over the cup it's going

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:54.279
all and you're just standing there pouring you

00:21:54.279 --> 00:22:00.019
know okay okay and then if you're locked away

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:04.500
in this place called your home and you you're

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:08.000
writing for three days four days at a time well

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.099
okay the pouring has stopped you know and then

00:22:10.099 --> 00:22:13.079
you go outside or you you turn on the television

00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:17.500
or you go on the internet and it's too much okay

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:21.940
just back off man right reality just back off

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:26.019
just give me a second you know but no so i think

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:31.299
it it doesn't bode well you know i mean animals

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:34.160
have a certain amount of consciousness and then

00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:37.400
they go okay you know this is my This is my area,

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.819
and, you know, we'll just don't come in my area,

00:22:40.980 --> 00:22:44.859
okay? Just don't back off. You can come to animals

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:48.900
got it down. They know when to stop, you know?

00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.539
Human beings are just, let's invent something

00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:58.019
else. Oh, AI? No, no, not AI. Yeah, let's do

00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.519
something. More than AI. Yeah, we're going to

00:23:00.519 --> 00:23:03.440
invent another consciousness to bombard us. Well,

00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.480
no, we're trying to get rid of the consciousness

00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:11.359
by giving it to these machines. Let me just rest.

00:23:11.579 --> 00:23:16.119
And you think for a while, AI. But it's just,

00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:20.180
I don't know. Have you messed with any AI? Larry,

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.660
do you talk to chat GPT at all? Have you tried

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:25.579
to have any conversations to see? No, because

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:29.509
I really can't get the hang of it. You got to

00:23:29.509 --> 00:23:32.990
get the hang of it. Even if you want to be against

00:23:32.990 --> 00:23:36.750
it, you got to get the hang of being against

00:23:36.750 --> 00:23:43.130
the chat box or the social media. I mean, it's

00:23:43.130 --> 00:23:47.910
just weird. I guess maybe it's always weird,

00:23:47.990 --> 00:23:50.549
but I just don't see how we can keep going. See,

00:23:50.630 --> 00:23:55.279
because basically, I don't think anybody... Well,

00:23:55.339 --> 00:23:57.539
maybe they do have it in the back of their mind,

00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.500
and that's feeding their psychosis of fear and

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:04.880
paranoia, which is, hey, this is the, we're on

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:09.319
this planet. Right. And like, well, okay, let

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:13.960
me go back to the Bible. Did Jesus, when did

00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:20.700
Jesus know the world was round? You know? And

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:23.200
if he knew the world, did Jesus know the world

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.859
was round, not flat? Because the world was flat

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:28.539
back then. You know, everybody thought the world

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:37.460
was flat. So God, he's the son of God. God, is

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:42.240
this a joke? In other words, he says, no, they

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.420
don't know it's round. Let's just watch this.

00:24:46.259 --> 00:24:49.259
You don't think he took any of his heavenly knowledge

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:52.180
about the world being round? He kept it to himself.

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:55.420
I think it's a put -on God. He's not fucking

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:58.940
with us. That's what he's doing. He's having

00:24:58.940 --> 00:25:05.119
fun. But they don't know it's round. Okay, so

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.599
now we got it round. And all of a sudden we realize,

00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:14.900
oh man, this is it. This planet is it. The nearest

00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:18.839
place we can go to after all this has arrived,

00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:27.740
this bullshit, is 100 million light years away.

00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:31.700
Yeah. If you want to go someplace else, it's

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:35.720
going to take a couple of generations to get

00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.599
there. Yeah, that's not traveling the Atlantic.

00:25:38.619 --> 00:25:42.140
I think we all really know that way deep down.

00:25:42.809 --> 00:25:45.730
But we don't express it or talk about it. What

00:25:45.730 --> 00:25:51.250
we do is reality is an avoidance mechanism. That's

00:25:51.250 --> 00:25:54.089
what it is. You don't think about the fact that,

00:25:54.130 --> 00:25:58.049
you know what? Animals stop breeding when, you

00:25:58.049 --> 00:26:00.910
know, except rats, they just keep breeding and

00:26:00.910 --> 00:26:03.170
breeding until they start fighting with one another.

00:26:03.410 --> 00:26:06.789
I mean, if you keep rats in one place long enough,

00:26:06.829 --> 00:26:07.970
you know, and they keep breeding and breeding.

00:26:08.410 --> 00:26:10.569
they'll start fighting with each other which

00:26:10.569 --> 00:26:12.369
is kind of normal you know there's not enough

00:26:12.369 --> 00:26:16.630
food or room to go around so i just keep on seeing

00:26:16.630 --> 00:26:18.549
because that's what you think about when you're

00:26:18.549 --> 00:26:20.450
sitting and not talking to anybody for three

00:26:20.450 --> 00:26:24.589
or four days you think about you know back in

00:26:24.589 --> 00:26:28.670
the day you know like piltdown man and stuff

00:26:28.670 --> 00:26:32.410
i mean we you know 300 000 years ago we had about

00:26:32.410 --> 00:26:34.710
the same brain we had now which is we kind of

00:26:34.710 --> 00:26:43.119
filled it out With AI and Ferris wheels and vacation

00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:50.579
boats. That's the craziest. I don't, I've been

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:55.559
daring myself to just, yeah, I mean, that's like

00:26:55.559 --> 00:27:00.160
super reality. It's just games. It's a boat that

00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:05.579
you go out and you just do weird games. you know,

00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:07.859
hang out from the side of the boat and swing

00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:10.660
around. Yeah, because, well, what if the rope

00:27:10.660 --> 00:27:13.519
breaks? Well, we just keep going. It's a party

00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:18.299
boat, man. No, no, man overboard. Yeah, yeah,

00:27:18.339 --> 00:27:22.660
yeah. Okay. But if you go over here, you can

00:27:22.660 --> 00:27:25.140
stand on your head and juggle with your feet.

00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:31.000
Yeah, just try that. Okay, but the guy back there,

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:33.000
he just fell in the water. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:33.140 --> 00:27:36.460
We know, we know. I mean, it's expected. Right.

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:38.839
Give me another pina colada. We'll go back and

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:43.640
get him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I mean, that's

00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:46.920
where my head goes to. Like I said, I went to

00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:50.799
a birthday party two, three days ago, and I had

00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:56.880
no conversation. And the host is not one to,

00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:03.009
like, It was his birthday. He found somebody

00:28:03.009 --> 00:28:05.150
to talk to and he just talked to me. Screw the

00:28:05.150 --> 00:28:10.829
party. You're all on your own. No, no. You got

00:28:10.829 --> 00:28:14.329
to organize it. I don't have anything to talk

00:28:14.329 --> 00:28:17.609
about. Larry, are you comfortable? I'm going

00:28:17.609 --> 00:28:19.930
to go home and write. Are you comfortable in

00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:22.650
silence? If you're at a place like that. Yeah,

00:28:22.650 --> 00:28:28.299
I'm comfortable with me. I like me. Sure. I can,

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:31.059
you know, and I like other people. It's not like,

00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:36.019
you know, but sometimes it's hard for me to connect

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:37.660
it, you know, and then there's groups that you

00:28:37.660 --> 00:28:40.680
have your carousal and you go and you, you talk

00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:45.059
with your friends, but in Hollywood, more than

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:51.039
any other place, they like the, they like the,

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.259
what I call huddling up. And I get this from

00:28:54.259 --> 00:28:58.940
being on stage. You go to a thing. So it's crowded.

00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:03.119
You go to like a TV show or a movie. You go to

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:05.160
the set. And, you know, there's a crew of people.

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:08.220
There's the directors, the technician. There's

00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:11.359
the other actors. So it's a bustling place. And

00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.339
it's kind of a false security. But you're socialized.

00:29:15.380 --> 00:29:19.220
It's a social place. Making movies is really

00:29:19.220 --> 00:29:22.220
weird. It's social. Because there's hundreds

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:24.460
of people walking around and carrying things

00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:29.059
and lighting things. Even on a sitcom, you know,

00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.960
and you got the audience coming in. But everybody

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:35.819
has their own job. Like when I have to act, I

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:38.019
can't pay attention to all that stuff. You know,

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:41.880
I just got to boop, you know. So then there's

00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:46.339
that, you know, and you're trying to, like, okay,

00:29:46.380 --> 00:29:49.200
when I audition, you know, you're auditioning

00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.980
with about. At least 15 other people, some for

00:29:52.980 --> 00:29:57.579
other roles, some for your roles. But I have

00:29:57.579 --> 00:30:02.339
dyslexia, so that kind of gets in the way. Dyslexia,

00:30:02.339 --> 00:30:04.339
it just means that it's very hard for me to put

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:08.319
information together really fast and then make

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:11.859
decisions on it. I can absorb it. I get it. I

00:30:11.859 --> 00:30:14.740
see what you're saying. But it'll like take me

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:18.940
a while to, I mean, if it's complex, like a movie

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:21.839
set where there's a lot of things going on and

00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.160
it's all got to fit together and everybody knows

00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.400
their job. So what I have to do is I have to

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:32.500
really concentrate on what my job is because

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:35.220
I like to, you know, I'm a social animal. I like

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:38.180
to talk to people. But if I talk to too many

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:42.359
people before I have to act. that concentration

00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:50.180
just... Sure. And so it's... People must think

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:53.240
I'm weird. When I go to audition, I try to...

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:55.599
But everybody else is talking because I can't

00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:58.240
understand that. I wish I could. Right. I really

00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:01.039
wish I could. You know, it's a social thing,

00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:02.700
you know, and they talk and blah, blah, blah.

00:31:02.779 --> 00:31:04.900
And okay, you know, Harry, you're going next.

00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.839
Okay, up, boom. And he puts on his acting thing

00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.779
and he goes in. Yeah. I can't do that. I have

00:31:10.779 --> 00:31:14.720
to, you know, what they call circle, you know,

00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.680
just concentrate. So everybody's talking and

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:19.400
I'm just sitting there and people want to talk

00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:23.859
to me and I'm trying to do it. So I'm trying

00:31:23.859 --> 00:31:26.779
to not be social and I don't want to embarrass.

00:31:27.420 --> 00:31:31.720
And I think that's kind of the world. Yeah. People,

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:35.740
because we're all, as I, when I write, one of

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:38.220
the things I wrote was God was talking to people.

00:31:38.589 --> 00:31:41.230
You know, it's a whole big story about God talking

00:31:41.230 --> 00:31:44.490
to people and his confusion about what's going

00:31:44.490 --> 00:31:46.609
on. You know, and he's trying to like straighten

00:31:46.609 --> 00:31:49.349
it out with a human being. Although I haven't

00:31:49.349 --> 00:31:52.130
talked to anybody in a long time. I had these

00:31:52.130 --> 00:31:58.250
thoughts. Yeah. So he was saying, well, I mean,

00:31:58.269 --> 00:32:02.369
his whole point was, you know, that saying, God

00:32:02.369 --> 00:32:07.349
knows. You know, God knows. no i don't i don't

00:32:07.349 --> 00:32:10.369
you know and uh i'm here to tell you that you

00:32:10.369 --> 00:32:13.470
know so it's just well you know what about i

00:32:13.470 --> 00:32:15.690
was that's where i got the you know with the

00:32:15.690 --> 00:32:17.769
where is the earth flat and were you keeping

00:32:17.769 --> 00:32:20.769
that from us right or you didn't know either

00:32:20.769 --> 00:32:23.490
all right he said well you know god knows god

00:32:23.490 --> 00:32:27.089
knows i'm here to tell you i don't know you know

00:32:27.089 --> 00:32:29.490
there's just too much to know you people think

00:32:29.490 --> 00:32:33.940
you know hey you know your parents your parents

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:36.480
when you were like five six seven eight five

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:40.099
six seven you thought they knew everything yeah

00:32:40.099 --> 00:32:42.440
well it turns out no they didn't know everything

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:44.880
as a matter of fact 90 percent of the time they

00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:47.559
were lying or just putting you on yeah pretending

00:32:47.559 --> 00:32:50.200
they're making it up exactly or making it up

00:32:50.200 --> 00:32:53.859
you know he says well yeah think of me like that

00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:57.140
i don't know everything you know i was going

00:32:57.140 --> 00:33:01.059
for something else really the creation thing

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:04.769
has got Out of hand. It blew up. It's, you know,

00:33:04.789 --> 00:33:08.930
curdling, coagulating. Humans had free will.

00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:11.630
They had a mind of their own. That's the problem.

00:33:11.789 --> 00:33:16.569
Free will. That is the problem. We don't know

00:33:16.569 --> 00:33:18.470
how to... That's really the consciousness, free

00:33:18.470 --> 00:33:21.190
will. Totally. That's what I'm thinking. Out

00:33:21.190 --> 00:33:25.130
there, there is other, you know, like beings

00:33:25.130 --> 00:33:28.210
or whatever we are, you know, sentient beings,

00:33:28.509 --> 00:33:32.730
you know, whatever. But... I heard we're just

00:33:32.730 --> 00:33:34.990
a computer in a computer. We're a simulation.

00:33:35.029 --> 00:33:38.490
We're not even real. Well, then there's that

00:33:38.490 --> 00:33:41.089
whole theory. But I was thinking that they've

00:33:41.089 --> 00:33:45.529
invented something. It's kind of like DDT for

00:33:45.529 --> 00:33:49.769
bugs to spray. The spray can. For consciousness.

00:33:50.150 --> 00:33:55.690
It kills free will and consciousness. Anything

00:33:55.690 --> 00:33:59.769
that has free will and consciousness. No, man,

00:33:59.809 --> 00:34:04.380
it's too much. It's too much. I love it. You

00:34:04.380 --> 00:34:06.079
kind of bring up a point. I remember like back

00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.099
in the day, they used to have like Monday morning,

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:12.260
like around the water cooler talk and everybody

00:34:12.260 --> 00:34:14.300
was kind of on the same page. They watched the

00:34:14.300 --> 00:34:17.559
same thing. Well, see, that's, that's what I

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:20.460
do. You put your finger, I'll watch football

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:23.940
for a week, you know, or sports. Well, I used

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:26.559
to be a standup comedian and that's really what

00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:28.840
I did. I mean, there was no philosophy to it.

00:34:28.940 --> 00:34:32.619
I just figured out a way I could keep. my sanity

00:34:32.619 --> 00:34:36.940
by flying to all these different places and talking

00:34:36.940 --> 00:34:39.559
to different people who, like, I just came back

00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:43.820
from Akron, Ohio for Comic -Con. Oh, I'm sorry

00:34:43.820 --> 00:34:46.619
to hear that. And they are totally different

00:34:46.619 --> 00:34:50.440
than Hollywood. You forget that they don't have

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:55.360
this bullshit talk about movies and science.

00:34:55.820 --> 00:35:00.920
No, they have... family and friends talk and

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:06.260
there's woods there yeah not forests woods there's

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:10.739
no woods in hollywood and los angeles there's

00:35:10.739 --> 00:35:15.300
trees but they're all planted in a row along

00:35:15.300 --> 00:35:23.760
the you know they're uh horticulturalized yes

00:35:23.760 --> 00:35:26.699
there's no woods well you're just riding along

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:31.719
in this Just a stand of trees all around. It

00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:35.199
was fall, so some had... You don't see that in

00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:38.239
L .A. I live near the beach. It's sand and water

00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:42.039
or palm trees in a row. Everything is in a row.

00:35:42.260 --> 00:35:46.900
Yeah, for aesthetics. And they have people coming

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:52.260
around because I live on the sixth floor in an

00:35:52.260 --> 00:35:54.960
apartment house here. So I look out, and there's

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:58.829
palm trees out there. But the other day I looked

00:35:58.829 --> 00:36:01.750
out and there's guys, like you saw the guys cutting

00:36:01.750 --> 00:36:07.230
down trees. There's guys pruning the forest out

00:36:07.230 --> 00:36:14.250
there. They're up on the top. By the way, I thought

00:36:14.250 --> 00:36:17.949
that opening sequence was really cool with all

00:36:17.949 --> 00:36:21.250
the trees falling on the houses. No, no. You

00:36:21.250 --> 00:36:24.670
don't understand. No, if you're going to cut

00:36:24.670 --> 00:36:29.400
down a tree. move the house out of the way. Right.

00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.880
Exactly. Move the house. Think. Think. You got

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.460
to think, people. Nobody's thinking before moving

00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:41.639
nowadays, Larry. Yeah, right. Yeah, it's just,

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:47.480
so it's hard when you go to, say, Akron, Ohio,

00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:49.820
and they're just people, you know, and they're,

00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:53.199
you know, they go to, you know, bowling and stuff

00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:56.730
like that, and they go to them. So, Wait, so

00:36:56.730 --> 00:36:59.389
they're not vampires just looking to get the

00:36:59.389 --> 00:37:02.110
next best thing from you and just something from

00:37:02.110 --> 00:37:04.210
you? They're actually people that like to...

00:37:04.210 --> 00:37:05.550
They just want an autograph, and then they're

00:37:05.550 --> 00:37:08.429
on their way. Well, what I do is, because it

00:37:08.429 --> 00:37:10.730
was driving me crazy, I would fly to, you know,

00:37:10.789 --> 00:37:13.050
Akron, and then I'd fly to Hollywood, but then

00:37:13.050 --> 00:37:17.010
I'd fly to Tennessee, and then I'd fly to Louisiana,

00:37:17.429 --> 00:37:20.969
you know, doing nightclub stuff, you know, stand

00:37:20.969 --> 00:37:25.389
-up. So what I would do is as soon as I got off

00:37:25.389 --> 00:37:28.449
the plane in the city that I was going to be

00:37:28.449 --> 00:37:32.429
in for like at least a week, maybe two weeks,

00:37:32.510 --> 00:37:35.590
you know, opening. What I would do is I would

00:37:35.590 --> 00:37:39.389
go and I buy two or three of the local newspapers.

00:37:40.150 --> 00:37:43.349
I would just read them, especially the sports

00:37:43.349 --> 00:37:46.130
section. I would go, you know, what football

00:37:46.130 --> 00:37:50.860
team is from here? Oh, good. So I'd have conversation,

00:37:51.219 --> 00:37:54.340
you know, and I would go to a bar and hang out,

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:58.219
go to a coffee house. And just the day before

00:37:58.219 --> 00:38:02.239
I go to the nightclub and, you know, and I pick

00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:05.980
up new information and new shtick and stuff like

00:38:05.980 --> 00:38:09.119
that. But also it just like settles me into where

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:13.219
I am. Yeah. And you go to another town and it's

00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:15.840
the headlines are totally different. They're

00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:18.900
not. like the new york times and no the local

00:38:18.900 --> 00:38:23.719
papers yeah yeah and then i can focus in uh so

00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.599
that's what i would like to do i guess when i

00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:28.440
go on auditions you know they have like a little

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.440
local newspaper what you can talk about about

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:35.159
this part what everybody else is here for oh

00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.920
yeah i went to one audition though sometimes

00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.440
that doesn't work uh escape from alcatraz i had

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:46.199
a really big part in that. But the weird thing

00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.440
about it was, that wasn't what I auditioned for,

00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:53.260
and that's not what I thought I was... That's

00:38:53.260 --> 00:38:55.719
not what I thought I was auditioning for. I thought

00:38:55.719 --> 00:39:00.119
I was auditioning for a small part. So it freaked

00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.880
me out when I found out what was going on. Again,

00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:08.139
I get freaked out easy, but I'm cool. I don't

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:13.139
go berserk. I don't go berserk. I just, I'm freaked

00:39:13.139 --> 00:39:17.309
out. Yeah, I just went for a conversation. And

00:39:17.309 --> 00:39:19.869
in the conversation with the director, Don Siegel,

00:39:19.929 --> 00:39:25.269
for Escape from Alcatraz, my agent said, just

00:39:25.269 --> 00:39:27.409
go down there. It's a big movie. It's a Clint

00:39:27.409 --> 00:39:30.250
Eastwood movie, you know. And they're closing

00:39:30.250 --> 00:39:33.449
down the auditions in an hour. So get down there

00:39:33.449 --> 00:39:35.530
right now, whatever you're doing. Now, auditions

00:39:35.530 --> 00:39:39.190
to me, just generally, are an interruption of

00:39:39.190 --> 00:39:44.369
my day. You know, it's... It's something, hey,

00:39:44.429 --> 00:39:49.349
go down there. And they give you sides. But you

00:39:49.349 --> 00:39:51.969
only have a couple of hours. With dyslexia, I

00:39:51.969 --> 00:39:54.730
need a couple of days, really. That's a quick

00:39:54.730 --> 00:39:56.889
question, Larry. So is that how auditions work?

00:39:56.989 --> 00:39:59.010
You just find out a couple hours beforehand?

00:39:59.309 --> 00:40:01.309
Like, hey, by the way, there's an audition here.

00:40:01.570 --> 00:40:03.570
Like, you don't have a couple days with the material

00:40:03.570 --> 00:40:06.670
to kind of get into character? Well, no. I mean,

00:40:06.670 --> 00:40:09.400
if it's a big part. And this was, you know, in

00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:12.980
the beginning, but as the parts got bigger, another

00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:16.840
problem came up. So it was a small part, you

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:19.579
know, just a walk on or, you know, you only have

00:40:19.579 --> 00:40:24.320
one scene or four pages, which is, you know,

00:40:24.340 --> 00:40:26.800
maybe three pages, which is one scene. Yeah,

00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:29.280
you can memorize it. And generally actors can

00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:34.380
do that. That's what makes actors different from

00:40:34.380 --> 00:40:40.989
other people generally. like uh the the the highest

00:40:40.989 --> 00:40:45.869
point of that would be soap operas no soap operas

00:40:45.869 --> 00:40:48.510
they give it to you the day you're gonna do the

00:40:48.510 --> 00:40:52.610
show wow longer short man yeah because you're

00:40:52.610 --> 00:40:55.969
on a soap operas every day yeah so they're writing

00:40:55.969 --> 00:40:58.130
every day so they can't give you a week ahead

00:40:58.130 --> 00:41:01.869
you you've got to do four days or five days before

00:41:01.869 --> 00:41:04.469
you get to the end of the week so yeah you get

00:41:04.469 --> 00:41:08.699
your part i did i did some soap operas and it

00:41:08.699 --> 00:41:11.920
just uh it was very difficult for me i could

00:41:11.920 --> 00:41:17.000
imagine yeah uh because of the i need time for

00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:20.599
my in inside brain i understand what the part

00:41:20.599 --> 00:41:24.000
is i can read it i can tell you what it's about

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:27.780
but to memorize that if you take the script away

00:41:27.780 --> 00:41:33.800
then i need a day for my inner brain to put that

00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:37.360
information in the order it came in Once it gets

00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:39.840
in there, it just gets scrambled. That's why

00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:42.920
a lot of artists, it's really great. Because

00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:47.019
when you scramble it, you get new different connections

00:41:47.019 --> 00:41:50.480
with the same information. And that turns you

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.679
on. That's how you can write a story. You're

00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:57.119
making it up, man. But it has to be in order.

00:41:57.260 --> 00:42:00.739
What you're doing is taking separate things and

00:42:00.739 --> 00:42:04.730
fitting them together in the right order. My

00:42:04.730 --> 00:42:08.070
head doesn't do that fast. Sure. That's what

00:42:08.070 --> 00:42:11.730
actors can do. Especially soap opera actors.

00:42:12.070 --> 00:42:14.730
They can just read. They can just almost scan

00:42:14.730 --> 00:42:17.409
it. Like, that's what great actors do. Like Clint

00:42:17.409 --> 00:42:19.570
Eastwood, I would watch him. He'd just pick up

00:42:19.570 --> 00:42:24.110
the script. I got it. Okay, let's go. Wow. Whoa,

00:42:24.130 --> 00:42:27.889
yeah. It just blows up. No, I need like two or

00:42:27.889 --> 00:42:30.949
three days. Sure. I have it down now. I mean,

00:42:30.989 --> 00:42:35.340
I've been dyslexic all my life. The problem was

00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:38.860
that dyslexia wasn't discovered until I was like

00:42:38.860 --> 00:42:43.000
33. Yeah. They didn't know. I was just stupid.

00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:46.179
My father used to call me stupid. Hey, stupid,

00:42:46.380 --> 00:42:50.139
come here. Because, oh, man, I went to a therapist,

00:42:50.179 --> 00:42:54.219
you know. He just said, your father what? Wow.

00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.840
Yeah. I mean, he just. It's a different time.

00:42:58.880 --> 00:43:02.539
I was talking about my, you know, my dad. And

00:43:02.539 --> 00:43:05.059
the therapist started to laugh. I mean, that

00:43:05.059 --> 00:43:07.539
was like something that blew my mind. But, you

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:09.420
know, it's a life changing. Somebody just says

00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:12.800
one thing and you go, whoa. And it just changes

00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:15.619
your whole paradigm. Wait, so Larry, your parents,

00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:17.980
your parents aren't supposed to call you stupid.

00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:21.079
They did that to me my entire life. You're blowing

00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:24.840
my mind here. Well, yeah, that's what I thought.

00:43:24.940 --> 00:43:27.880
You know, but I felt guilty about it. What he

00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:31.519
would do is he just fucked up my life. What he

00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:34.380
did was he would test me. I was learning to read,

00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.199
so I was a slow learner. I liked to read, but

00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:41.039
I was just a slow learner. So he would want me

00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:44.440
to read faster. So he'd test me. He'd say, read

00:43:44.440 --> 00:43:47.900
this page. He said, I'm going to test you on

00:43:47.900 --> 00:43:50.280
it. Just read it. So it didn't take me a while.

00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.099
I'd have to read it over and over again. So I

00:43:52.099 --> 00:43:53.840
kind of, you know, okay, he's going to test me.

00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:56.940
And he said, are you finished yet? No, no, yet,

00:43:56.960 --> 00:44:00.719
yet. Boom! And he hit me. oh hey come on dad

00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:04.219
uh and he said no you got to read it faster so

00:44:04.219 --> 00:44:08.460
what i figured out was uh you know kids logic

00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:10.539
i'm talking about you know seven or eight or

00:44:10.539 --> 00:44:14.500
you know um or whenever you learn to read hey

00:44:14.500 --> 00:44:20.119
um he i would i couldn't read fast enough i would

00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:23.079
only get like maybe a third of the stuff right

00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:25.519
but you know and he was just time's up you know

00:44:25.519 --> 00:44:28.699
okay blah blah blah So what I did was I learned

00:44:28.699 --> 00:44:33.840
to scan. So I would just scan the whole thing.

00:44:33.900 --> 00:44:36.719
Did you finish? Yeah. Now that way I figured

00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.119
out I could get about 50 % right before I got

00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.699
hit. So between a third and 50 and half, I figured

00:44:45.699 --> 00:44:48.820
I'll scan. So that's what I do. And now I do

00:44:48.820 --> 00:44:51.480
it as a habit. I mean, it's just, if you give

00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.940
me something to read, even if I try to read it,

00:44:54.980 --> 00:44:58.210
what I'm doing is scanning. Wow. So that's amazing,

00:44:58.409 --> 00:45:02.329
Larry. So you, you actually retain more by just

00:45:02.329 --> 00:45:04.789
scanning a document rather than actually physically

00:45:04.789 --> 00:45:08.110
reading word for word. No, no, no. I didn't say

00:45:08.110 --> 00:45:12.050
that. I said I could scan and get more information

00:45:12.050 --> 00:45:14.989
than if I tried to read the whole page when I

00:45:14.989 --> 00:45:17.369
could only read a third before he'd say time's

00:45:17.369 --> 00:45:22.269
up. Oh, got it. So I couldn't. And if I did read

00:45:22.269 --> 00:45:25.050
the whole thing in the time he. give him or if

00:45:25.050 --> 00:45:27.889
he gave me more time to read the whole page that

00:45:27.889 --> 00:45:31.789
didn't mean that i retained sure what i because

00:45:31.789 --> 00:45:34.570
it was too too much and i my brain couldn't put

00:45:34.570 --> 00:45:40.369
it in the right order inside if you let me no

00:45:40.369 --> 00:45:43.329
i'm sorry go ahead no that that was all if he

00:45:43.329 --> 00:45:46.690
let me read it and gave me a little time i could

00:45:46.690 --> 00:45:49.889
answer all the questions because i read it and

00:45:49.889 --> 00:45:53.400
i got calm. That was the other thing. So the

00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.460
psychiatrist said to me, the therapist said to

00:45:57.460 --> 00:46:00.179
me, because I was telling him about my father

00:46:00.179 --> 00:46:02.619
and I was telling him about, you know, he would

00:46:02.619 --> 00:46:04.639
be testing me and he'd call me stupid all the

00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.000
time. And I believed him, see, because I had

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.380
dyslexia. There was something wrong. I mean,

00:46:10.420 --> 00:46:14.699
I was eight years old. So as I'm telling the

00:46:14.699 --> 00:46:19.380
therapist, he started to laugh. And I'm going,

00:46:20.179 --> 00:46:23.760
what are you laughing at right and and he would

00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:26.380
go you don't think what you're telling me about

00:46:26.380 --> 00:46:28.900
your father telling you you were stupid you don't

00:46:28.900 --> 00:46:31.780
think that's funny i don't know man i'm sitting

00:46:31.780 --> 00:46:34.380
here pouring my heart out you know i took therapy

00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:37.219
very seriously yeah i'm pouring my heart out

00:46:37.219 --> 00:46:41.940
to you and and you're laughing and he goes you

00:46:41.940 --> 00:46:45.320
don't think what you're telling me is funny i

00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:48.150
said no i don't he says yeah sure You're going

00:46:48.150 --> 00:46:51.730
to have to keep coming here until you do. Whoa.

00:46:52.650 --> 00:46:58.489
Yeah. Boom. Got it. There you go. That changed

00:46:58.489 --> 00:47:02.969
my way. I thought about a lot of things. Here

00:47:02.969 --> 00:47:05.110
we all thought he was being insensitive and doing

00:47:05.110 --> 00:47:08.809
a technique on you. Yeah. He's basically saying,

00:47:08.869 --> 00:47:11.510
come here until you realize. He was kind of cool.

00:47:11.690 --> 00:47:13.929
After that, I thought my therapist was really

00:47:13.929 --> 00:47:18.800
cool. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Sometimes that

00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:23.960
clicks in. But it does with actors. Like Bryan

00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:28.019
Cranston. I have worked with a lot of really

00:47:28.019 --> 00:47:32.500
A -list people. And if you go up on your lines.

00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:39.360
I went up on my lines with Bryan Cranston when

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:42.510
I was doing Breaking Bad. And Bryan Cranston,

00:47:42.590 --> 00:47:46.570
I really, I'm filled with awe. I'm a fan of his.

00:47:46.849 --> 00:47:49.110
No, I don't want his autograph. I mean, that's

00:47:49.110 --> 00:47:53.969
weird. Fans are weird. Fans come from another

00:47:53.969 --> 00:47:57.630
planet. They could. They could. Okay. You know,

00:47:57.650 --> 00:48:00.190
fine. I'm in the business. That's part of it.

00:48:00.250 --> 00:48:05.389
Okay. But Bryan Cranston is awesome because I

00:48:05.389 --> 00:48:08.269
saw him do one thing. It wasn't a, it was a.

00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:14.300
It was a ceremony for a person who had died.

00:48:14.760 --> 00:48:19.239
But he was a big deal before he died. He was

00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.840
a writer. And he had given a speech one time,

00:48:22.860 --> 00:48:25.099
which became a famous speech. I don't remember

00:48:25.099 --> 00:48:27.420
who it was. There was nobody I had ever heard

00:48:27.420 --> 00:48:31.420
of. But it was famous. So Brian Cranston, I didn't

00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:34.219
realize this, I was watching it and it was televised.

00:48:34.460 --> 00:48:37.900
And Brian Cranston came out. And he gave this

00:48:37.900 --> 00:48:41.719
famous speech that this person who had died wrote.

00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:46.659
You know, like you read the Lincoln's Gettysburg

00:48:46.659 --> 00:48:49.340
Address or something. Four score and seven years

00:48:49.340 --> 00:48:54.300
ago. Don't make me, Larry. And, you know, I didn't

00:48:54.300 --> 00:48:56.760
know this person. I never heard of the person

00:48:56.760 --> 00:49:00.480
who died. And I never heard of this speech. But

00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:03.219
this is, ladies and gentlemen, Bryan Cranston.

00:49:03.300 --> 00:49:06.659
And he just came out and he stood. He was dressed

00:49:06.659 --> 00:49:10.360
like the guy in like 50s outfit, you know, clothes

00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:13.400
and everything. And he just stood there and he

00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:16.599
gave this speech. Now, I've talked to Bryan Cranston.

00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:19.300
I've acted with Bryan Cranston. And no matter

00:49:19.300 --> 00:49:22.719
how much I stared, it was like a 10 minute, 15

00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.960
minute speech. I couldn't find Bryan Cranston.

00:49:26.639 --> 00:49:30.539
It was just this guy. It was blowing my mind,

00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:34.280
man. And he wasn't doing anything. Bryan Cranston

00:49:34.280 --> 00:49:37.719
wasn't. He just was standing there and he was

00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:41.980
giving this speech like he was that guy. Wow.

00:49:42.219 --> 00:49:45.719
I mean, it was eerie. Wow. To me as an actor,

00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:48.760
I thought, boy, if I could, man, if I could get

00:49:48.760 --> 00:49:52.760
into a part that deep, I couldn't find Bryan

00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.300
Cranston. Okay. So I'm acting with Bryan Cranston

00:49:57.300 --> 00:50:01.510
and I'm in awe of this guy. Just from that one

00:50:01.510 --> 00:50:04.110
performance. But I've seen a lot of this stuff.

00:50:04.969 --> 00:50:09.510
And I went up on my line. So he says, cut. Okay,

00:50:09.630 --> 00:50:13.230
let's do it again. Okay, fine. Blah, blah, blah.

00:50:13.469 --> 00:50:18.949
I was selling him that big magnet that he was

00:50:18.949 --> 00:50:23.690
going to take out in the junkyard. So I was going,

00:50:23.809 --> 00:50:26.210
blah, blah, blah. And I go up on my line a second

00:50:26.210 --> 00:50:31.079
time. And he stops and he goes. Hey, Larry, get

00:50:31.079 --> 00:50:34.539
your lines down. You know, not angry. Just, hey,

00:50:34.719 --> 00:50:38.340
you know. Okay, fine. All right, take three.

00:50:39.320 --> 00:50:41.659
Blah, blah, blah, blah. And I go up again on

00:50:41.659 --> 00:50:48.659
my lines. And he just didn't say anything. But

00:50:48.659 --> 00:50:53.340
he was really angry. He was angry. Now, that's

00:50:53.340 --> 00:50:56.619
a part of his thing, the acting, the character.

00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:00.480
So I thought, well. Maybe he's got that ready.

00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:04.019
And now I've given him, now he can use it on

00:51:04.019 --> 00:51:08.239
me. But he just looked at me and I said, okay,

00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:11.059
excuse me. Can I just talk to the director? So

00:51:11.059 --> 00:51:13.780
he said, yeah, go ahead. So I said, okay. And

00:51:13.780 --> 00:51:16.320
I said, I want to talk to you. Can I, he said,

00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:18.440
come here. Yeah. So I go over to him and I say,

00:51:18.460 --> 00:51:21.000
look, you know, I just went up on my lines twice,

00:51:21.019 --> 00:51:25.360
three times. And Brian is really angry and he's

00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:29.110
making me nervous. Now I'm, you know. What should

00:51:29.110 --> 00:51:31.829
I do? I don't know what to do. So the director

00:51:31.829 --> 00:51:35.829
says, okay, there's two things. One is, Larry,

00:51:35.989 --> 00:51:41.050
all actors go up on their lines at some time

00:51:41.050 --> 00:51:46.760
or another. It's normal. Two is... we're losing

00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:49.039
the light get the fuck back in there and screw

00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:52.659
barbara brian cranston let's go we're losing

00:51:52.659 --> 00:51:56.820
the light oh wow boom and he just shocked that

00:51:56.820 --> 00:52:00.780
fear or whatever into a nice shot of adrenaline

00:52:00.780 --> 00:52:03.320
i went in there boom boom boom boom boom okay

00:52:03.320 --> 00:52:09.940
thank you wow so yeah but that to me was my dyslexia

00:52:09.940 --> 00:52:12.719
just you know i was a little too nervous and

00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:16.969
it just took over You know, but the director

00:52:16.969 --> 00:52:21.389
is so cool. He is. Yeah. Snaps you right back

00:52:21.389 --> 00:52:23.969
into it. Brian Cranston, get back in there. We're

00:52:23.969 --> 00:52:27.869
losing the light. So Larry, do you find more

00:52:27.869 --> 00:52:30.610
enjoyment in, in writing now? Is that why you're

00:52:30.610 --> 00:52:32.909
kind of making the transition kind of from acting

00:52:32.909 --> 00:52:35.090
into writing and you find it easier to deal with

00:52:35.090 --> 00:52:39.210
the dyslexia or something? The typewriter doesn't

00:52:39.210 --> 00:52:45.730
get angry. Ah. It just lets me erase. Right.

00:52:46.130 --> 00:52:49.510
Type it over. Do you use a typewriter? Throw

00:52:49.510 --> 00:52:52.269
it in the waste paper basket. If it gets too

00:52:52.269 --> 00:52:57.429
uppity. Yeah, sure. It's nice. It's calm. It's

00:52:57.429 --> 00:53:00.690
calming. It's calming. I sometimes, if I don't

00:53:00.690 --> 00:53:05.230
work for too long, that's why I, the boring thing.

00:53:05.750 --> 00:53:09.409
I don't get like bored, depressed. I don't go

00:53:09.409 --> 00:53:12.809
that way. What I do is I get a headache. I just

00:53:12.809 --> 00:53:16.070
get a headache. I must be really bored. If I

00:53:16.070 --> 00:53:17.650
get really bored, I just have to get a headache.

00:53:18.170 --> 00:53:21.050
But if I just sit down in front of the typewriter

00:53:21.050 --> 00:53:26.170
and start typing, it goes away. Wow. Well, what

00:53:26.170 --> 00:53:30.349
if it's just, oh, I see. If I don't have a focus

00:53:30.349 --> 00:53:35.730
on something, you know, either, you know, writing,

00:53:35.829 --> 00:53:42.619
sex, or my part, I, you know. I need focus. Yeah.

00:53:42.780 --> 00:53:45.380
That's what my brain is telling me. Hey, you

00:53:45.380 --> 00:53:47.179
know, think of something, anything, do something,

00:53:47.340 --> 00:53:49.980
go out, ride a bike, you know, jump off a cliff,

00:53:50.059 --> 00:53:53.159
something. Don't just sit there staring at this

00:53:53.159 --> 00:53:56.659
wall. Okay. Well, I get amazed. I get amazed

00:53:56.659 --> 00:53:59.119
at people who could just sit down at a computer

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.940
screen or a typewriter and just start typing

00:54:00.940 --> 00:54:03.400
and writing because... Oh, no, no, I can't do

00:54:03.400 --> 00:54:06.739
that. I just have to look at the typewriter and

00:54:06.739 --> 00:54:09.739
get ready to type. And then I can, you know,

00:54:09.780 --> 00:54:13.099
my brain already is starting to go, oh, we're

00:54:13.099 --> 00:54:15.340
going to think of something here. And then I'll

00:54:15.340 --> 00:54:17.559
just, you know, blah, blah, blah. Okay, and a

00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:20.920
story will come. Wow. I'm not worried. See, in

00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:24.309
other words, I have no fear of not writing. sure

00:54:24.309 --> 00:54:28.230
that you know flow is i can go there it'll take

00:54:28.230 --> 00:54:30.429
me a little a little while i mean like a minute

00:54:30.429 --> 00:54:34.190
or two right okay so and then i'll get into oh

00:54:34.190 --> 00:54:39.550
i i guess what my dyslexia is thinking oh he's

00:54:39.550 --> 00:54:42.030
trying to put shit together let's try that you

00:54:42.030 --> 00:54:44.550
know get get with him you know that's cool i

00:54:44.550 --> 00:54:46.710
got a thought here and a thought there boom boom

00:54:46.710 --> 00:54:49.130
oh wow this would give you a great great story

00:54:49.130 --> 00:54:53.250
you know and then i'll uh then the headache will

00:54:53.250 --> 00:54:56.610
go away you know and it won't come back for a

00:54:56.610 --> 00:55:00.570
while maybe a day or two but it's like a little

00:55:00.570 --> 00:55:04.929
signal that i'm i'm bored but i that's as far

00:55:04.929 --> 00:55:08.769
as i go with it the headache and it's not it

00:55:08.769 --> 00:55:12.329
used to be until i found out pardon me what it

00:55:12.329 --> 00:55:17.030
was that if i if i just focus on doing something

00:55:17.030 --> 00:55:20.090
you know i help somebody called somebody or i

00:55:20.090 --> 00:55:22.610
just go down and read my mail you know whatever

00:55:22.610 --> 00:55:27.309
uh you know way even wasting time is in a way

00:55:27.309 --> 00:55:29.650
of focus i guess that's what wasting time is

00:55:29.650 --> 00:55:32.929
it's giving you ways to focus on do you waste

00:55:32.929 --> 00:55:34.710
time online at all like do you go on youtube

00:55:34.710 --> 00:55:39.349
or tiktok i think the the worst thing for humanity

00:55:39.349 --> 00:55:42.980
and consciousness is the internet social media

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:45.860
i think yeah it's the worst thing that man has

00:55:45.860 --> 00:55:49.280
come up with and ai is going to be even worse

00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:52.559
oh yeah i mean there's just too many choices

00:55:52.559 --> 00:55:55.940
and it's so it's too easy to hack my credit cards

00:55:55.940 --> 00:56:00.159
truly there's that because of digital you know

00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:02.579
yeah i i'm starting to think i'm just writing

00:56:02.579 --> 00:56:05.300
checks i i'm starting to throw away my credit

00:56:05.300 --> 00:56:09.820
cards and getting But I'll go on the Internet

00:56:09.820 --> 00:56:12.639
like to talk to you guys. This is a good use

00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:16.039
of it. Gives me focus, you know, and there's

00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:19.420
information here. But even it's something to

00:56:19.420 --> 00:56:24.820
do. It's a focus. It's just too much. Once I

00:56:24.820 --> 00:56:30.159
get off your program, no, I'll go to, you know,

00:56:30.179 --> 00:56:37.130
my mail, my bank account, podcasts. I've stopped

00:56:37.130 --> 00:56:41.210
buying stuff on the internet. I just hacked too

00:56:41.210 --> 00:56:45.869
many times. And also, even if it's a scam, 90

00:56:45.869 --> 00:56:50.449
% of it is probably even more. But 90 % is information

00:56:50.449 --> 00:56:56.949
I don't need. Not only that. On the real, Larry,

00:56:57.050 --> 00:57:00.210
your kid is being kidnapped in Africa and we

00:57:00.210 --> 00:57:02.500
need your social security number. To let him

00:57:02.500 --> 00:57:05.880
out. So you can just let us know. Oh, sure. Wait

00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:08.940
a minute. Hold it. Would you like my bank? Yeah.

00:57:09.260 --> 00:57:12.480
Bank check number? Yes, that's necessary. Would

00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:14.900
that get the kid out faster? By the way, I don't

00:57:14.900 --> 00:57:17.780
have any children. But no, no, let's keep going.

00:57:18.099 --> 00:57:23.840
Your nephew, maybe? Maybe it's a nephew. Larry,

00:57:23.900 --> 00:57:26.880
back to your creative process. Are you ever walking

00:57:26.880 --> 00:57:28.760
around and get an idea and have to sit down and

00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:31.000
get it out? Or is it you have to sit down and

00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:35.860
then? No, I think that's somebody's idea of what

00:57:35.860 --> 00:57:40.179
writers do. People who don't write have weird

00:57:40.179 --> 00:57:44.019
ideas about what creativity is. Creativity is

00:57:44.019 --> 00:57:50.150
like conversation. It just comes up. I was talking

00:57:50.150 --> 00:57:53.570
to a friend the other day, a buddy who I grew

00:57:53.570 --> 00:57:56.869
up with. So we can talk about anything. There's

00:57:56.869 --> 00:57:59.590
no, we're not at a loss for conversation. We

00:57:59.590 --> 00:58:03.449
can talk about anything. And then we'll agree

00:58:03.449 --> 00:58:07.130
on something and then, you know, we'll go like

00:58:07.130 --> 00:58:09.269
that and, you know, go all over the place with

00:58:09.269 --> 00:58:11.710
it. So I said, hey, you know, that's a great

00:58:11.710 --> 00:58:15.369
idea. We were talking about old age, old age,

00:58:15.389 --> 00:58:17.489
getting old. And what are you going to do about

00:58:17.489 --> 00:58:20.260
it? You know. Well, I'm going to die about it.

00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:22.159
That's what I'm going to do. What are you going

00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:26.940
to do about it? So, so that I got, you know,

00:58:26.940 --> 00:58:28.800
and then I said, and he said, what do you mean?

00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:30.420
I said, well, what we're talking about, you know,

00:58:30.420 --> 00:58:33.820
old age. I think that's a good idea for a movie

00:58:33.820 --> 00:58:38.659
or, you know, something, sitcom, whatever. And

00:58:38.659 --> 00:58:40.440
so then I started thinking about it for the,

00:58:40.460 --> 00:58:42.940
you know, I had something to think about. So

00:58:42.940 --> 00:58:45.300
I started thinking about it. And I would mention

00:58:45.300 --> 00:58:47.400
it to this person and say, no, that's not a good

00:58:47.400 --> 00:58:51.400
idea. Okay, cool. That's not for you. That's

00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:53.599
the other thing about Hollywood. Not only do

00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:56.400
you have to have a great idea, you have to find

00:58:56.400 --> 00:59:02.280
somebody who also thinks it's a great idea. Not

00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:05.460
everybody thinks what you think is a great idea

00:59:05.460 --> 00:59:09.539
is a great idea. Sure. Yeah. A lot of people

00:59:09.539 --> 00:59:13.239
think it's probably a pretty... fucking stupid

00:59:13.239 --> 00:59:16.679
idea if you ask me and you have to deal with

00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:20.179
that you know this this rejection thing right

00:59:20.179 --> 00:59:24.719
uh so i'm inured by the rejection i've gotten

00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:29.820
here's the average it's um i think it's one out

00:59:29.820 --> 00:59:33.159
of ten is a general average you audition for

00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:35.820
10 things i mean and then as you get more and

00:59:35.820 --> 00:59:38.739
more popular as you become more and more an actor

00:59:38.739 --> 00:59:41.590
it's less and less but in the beginning It's

00:59:41.590 --> 00:59:43.989
a crapshoot and you got to get used to it. And

00:59:43.989 --> 00:59:47.050
it took me a long time because I never wanted

00:59:47.050 --> 00:59:50.530
to be an actor. I just found out I could do it.

00:59:50.730 --> 00:59:53.130
And people, because I was a stand -up comedian

00:59:53.130 --> 00:59:58.070
and I was an improver, which is not the same

00:59:58.070 --> 01:00:00.449
as acting. Improv is not the same as acting.

01:00:01.849 --> 01:00:04.969
People would ask me to act because they saw me

01:00:04.969 --> 01:00:08.190
improv -ing and thinking, oh, he's a funny guy.

01:00:08.469 --> 01:00:11.500
And I thought... Oh, well, here's a lot of money.

01:00:11.559 --> 01:00:16.079
It's probably the same. And it wasn't. But even

01:00:16.079 --> 01:00:21.159
so, I would get one out of five. Nice. Because

01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:26.780
my agents would send me up for stuff that I was

01:00:26.780 --> 01:00:31.119
right for. Sure. But sometimes I wasn't right

01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:36.519
for it. But the creative process is what you

01:00:36.519 --> 01:00:44.449
were talking about. Sometimes I'll go for a long

01:00:44.449 --> 01:00:48.269
time. Well, I finished writing this book here,

01:00:48.789 --> 01:00:55.949
Poor Barnum's Journal. The word poor. It's weird

01:00:55.949 --> 01:00:59.909
what people focus on about what part of your

01:00:59.909 --> 01:01:05.250
idea. Poor Barnum's Journal. I just finished

01:01:05.250 --> 01:01:07.849
it. It just came out last week, and I discovered.

01:01:08.650 --> 01:01:11.750
that the reason that I was having a hard time

01:01:11.750 --> 01:01:13.869
getting it out there, I'm still hanging with

01:01:13.869 --> 01:01:17.409
it, is the word poor. That's not a good word

01:01:17.409 --> 01:01:21.110
to have on your title. Who knew? You know, acting

01:01:21.110 --> 01:01:24.030
is not like book writing. Writing is not like

01:01:24.030 --> 01:01:27.309
acting. The book business is not like show business.

01:01:28.250 --> 01:01:33.289
And it takes you a way longer time to become

01:01:33.289 --> 01:01:36.829
a good writer than a good actor, or even an actor

01:01:36.829 --> 01:01:40.360
or a writer. You said something earlier, Larry,

01:01:40.500 --> 01:01:42.579
that I thought was kind of cool. You said acting

01:01:42.579 --> 01:01:44.619
and improv are different. And I agree with you

01:01:44.619 --> 01:01:48.739
that. I think that if you're an actor, you can't

01:01:48.739 --> 01:01:51.019
always do improv. But I think if you're somebody

01:01:51.019 --> 01:01:53.219
who does improv, you could always be an actor.

01:01:54.119 --> 01:01:57.659
What do you think of that? Yeah, I find, again,

01:01:58.280 --> 01:02:02.000
you have to deal with what you're dealt. And

01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.860
the cards I'm dealt with is dyslexia. Now, there's

01:02:06.860 --> 01:02:10.309
workarounds. I can fake it. I can do a lot of

01:02:10.309 --> 01:02:15.230
things. But the real deal is I have dyslexia.

01:02:15.309 --> 01:02:18.929
There's no cure for dyslexia. There's just workarounds

01:02:18.929 --> 01:02:25.769
or ignoring it. Even when I left home, I kind

01:02:25.769 --> 01:02:30.710
of ran away from my parents at a young age. I

01:02:30.710 --> 01:02:33.750
went away to college and that was the last I

01:02:33.750 --> 01:02:40.380
saw them. I had a very bad upbringing. I just

01:02:40.380 --> 01:02:42.320
wanted to get, I wanted to, ever since I was

01:02:42.320 --> 01:02:44.960
15, I just was thinking of running away. That

01:02:44.960 --> 01:02:47.460
was my whole point. Just getting out of here.

01:02:47.699 --> 01:02:51.079
And you did it. That's kind of cool though. Say

01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:53.800
that again? I said, and you did it and it worked

01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:56.739
out for you, which is cool. Well, yeah, but every

01:02:56.739 --> 01:03:00.960
once in a while, like for instance, I didn't

01:03:00.960 --> 01:03:03.820
get along with my father at all. And I was just

01:03:03.820 --> 01:03:07.400
talking to my sister and we both agreed. I was

01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:09.820
talking to her a couple of days ago. But we both

01:03:09.820 --> 01:03:14.659
agreed that, you know, dad was just not cool

01:03:14.659 --> 01:03:20.599
at all. He's just a bad dad. And so she agreed

01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:24.039
with me. But I didn't know that he was a bad

01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:26.159
dad. At eight years old, you think it's your

01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:28.500
fault. Yeah, you just think that's how it is.

01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:33.000
So, but, you know, it comes up every once in

01:03:33.000 --> 01:03:35.619
a while, the dyslexia. And I either have to do

01:03:35.619 --> 01:03:38.619
a workaround. Like a workaround, very simple.

01:03:39.820 --> 01:03:44.019
As the parts got bigger, I just told my agent

01:03:44.019 --> 01:03:48.820
to have them send me the finished draft first.

01:03:49.579 --> 01:03:54.019
So that was part of the contract. But everybody

01:03:54.019 --> 01:04:01.079
sort of knew that when you send the final draft

01:04:01.079 --> 01:04:04.599
to the suits, so they can okay it and say, yeah,

01:04:04.619 --> 01:04:07.639
okay, go shoot it. They would send me the script,

01:04:07.719 --> 01:04:10.420
too. So I'd always get the script a couple of

01:04:10.420 --> 01:04:13.559
days beforehand. So that was a workaround. You

01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:18.579
know, Henry Winkler has dyslexia. He chose a

01:04:18.579 --> 01:04:25.119
different workaround. He hired people to feed

01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:28.920
him the lines and stuff like that. But that was

01:04:28.920 --> 01:04:32.079
because he was on the sitcom as a regular. Right.

01:04:32.119 --> 01:04:35.110
So he was making enough money to hire. people

01:04:35.110 --> 01:04:40.170
to help him with his dyslexia sure i i just got

01:04:40.170 --> 01:04:43.489
the script earlier and worked on it harder for

01:04:43.489 --> 01:04:49.050
a longer time until finally excuse me i did it

01:04:49.050 --> 01:04:50.969
that's what she said joke you said i worked on

01:04:50.969 --> 01:04:54.349
it longer and harder so i had to go there that's

01:04:54.349 --> 01:04:58.969
what you said yeah uh so um uh but then when

01:04:58.969 --> 01:05:02.150
the parts started to get really big like i was

01:05:02.150 --> 01:05:05.360
starting to get co -star I had to turn them down

01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:10.139
because the lag time was just too long. I couldn't

01:05:10.139 --> 01:05:15.480
memorize each scene every day. Cause it takes

01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:18.739
me a week. I even mathematically worked it out.

01:05:18.800 --> 01:05:22.760
It takes me four. It takes me five days to memorize

01:05:22.760 --> 01:05:27.380
a four page scene. It gives me another person.

01:05:27.639 --> 01:05:31.320
It takes me, I need the entire week. And now

01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:33.699
in sitcoms, they would give you. Just normally

01:05:33.699 --> 01:05:37.460
you would get your part like Mr. Heckles. Yeah.

01:05:37.539 --> 01:05:41.940
On Friends. I would get that a week in advance.

01:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.559
You know, even if sometimes they didn't finish

01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:47.159
the script until two or three days before the

01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:50.960
shot. Sure. But, you know, for me, I mean, it

01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:53.920
wasn't because of me. It was just they finished

01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:56.280
the script a week ahead, luckily for me, and

01:05:56.280 --> 01:05:59.320
I needed the script a week ahead. So Mr. Heckles

01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:05.159
was fine. But like in a movie. I was like getting,

01:06:05.219 --> 01:06:08.619
starting to get co -star parts where I would

01:06:08.619 --> 01:06:10.639
audition and get the part and then I'd have to

01:06:10.639 --> 01:06:15.260
turn it down when I saw, whoa, you know. It's

01:06:15.260 --> 01:06:19.800
30 pages. Yeah. Well, you know, read the screenplay,

01:06:19.860 --> 01:06:23.239
you know, and then I, then I was one, you know,

01:06:23.260 --> 01:06:29.320
cheap films, you know, 300. What is it? We, those.

01:06:30.090 --> 01:06:32.789
They weren't weekend wonders, really. But, you

01:06:32.789 --> 01:06:36.530
know, shot an entire feature shot in five days.

01:06:36.789 --> 01:06:39.409
Oh, wow. Those kind of things. Yeah. No way I

01:06:39.409 --> 01:06:42.889
could do it. But even bigger parts where it was

01:06:42.889 --> 01:06:50.730
like an hour TV, you know, series. No, it was

01:06:50.730 --> 01:06:55.250
a lead and a co -star in a TV series. Yeah. I

01:06:55.250 --> 01:06:58.090
couldn't do it. I would have to turn it down.

01:06:58.210 --> 01:07:02.909
And that's why I left. I took it off. I have

01:07:02.909 --> 01:07:05.130
a question for you because Mr. Heckles was one

01:07:05.130 --> 01:07:08.750
of the most beloved characters on there besides

01:07:08.750 --> 01:07:12.769
the six friends. Was there ever any talk of maybe

01:07:12.769 --> 01:07:17.710
making that a bigger part? No, because really,

01:07:17.909 --> 01:07:21.349
I didn't get along with anybody there. I mean,

01:07:21.369 --> 01:07:24.179
I'm getting along with you guys because... I

01:07:24.179 --> 01:07:27.099
like you guys and you guys like me. So I believe,

01:07:27.420 --> 01:07:32.539
you know. And also, you know, I watch your intro

01:07:32.539 --> 01:07:35.380
and blah, blah, blah, blah. But I never got along

01:07:35.380 --> 01:07:39.619
with any of them. I mean, for different reasons.

01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:43.539
I think Monica, the ditzy one, you know, the

01:07:43.539 --> 01:07:46.179
one. I think that's Monica. Yeah, I got along

01:07:46.179 --> 01:07:48.340
with her fine because she's a good person. She's

01:07:48.340 --> 01:07:52.929
just a nice person. She's a whole person. Yeah.

01:07:53.070 --> 01:07:54.849
You know, she's an actress, but she's a human

01:07:54.849 --> 01:07:58.329
being. I think that was Phoebe. She's just, you

01:07:58.329 --> 01:08:00.750
know, conversational and, you know, blah. Hello.

01:08:01.110 --> 01:08:05.329
You know, good morning. You know, oh, yeah. And

01:08:05.329 --> 01:08:10.190
when we acted together, but everybody else, I

01:08:10.190 --> 01:08:15.570
didn't have anything. And then, you know, I never

01:08:15.570 --> 01:08:19.010
got along with the producers at all. I don't

01:08:19.010 --> 01:08:21.390
get along as easy with people as, you know, you,

01:08:21.470 --> 01:08:25.399
you know. You people, you people are paid to

01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:28.260
get along with me. Yeah. Well, it seems like

01:08:28.260 --> 01:08:30.180
you're respecting. If somebody is not respecting

01:08:30.180 --> 01:08:32.439
you, you're not going to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:35.960
So, so yeah, I had a big fight. I, I've had,

01:08:36.020 --> 01:08:38.619
I wrote a book. See, this is the book about all

01:08:38.619 --> 01:08:41.279
that, about, about showbiz. This is, this is

01:08:41.279 --> 01:08:42.939
that because everybody doesn't know my name,

01:08:42.960 --> 01:08:45.140
but they go, Oh, you're that guy. You're that

01:08:45.140 --> 01:08:48.220
guy from that program. He's from friends, you

01:08:48.220 --> 01:08:51.159
know, that guy, but it's, you know, Oh, Bill,

01:08:51.180 --> 01:08:55.020
the guy from, From Breaking Bad, that guy. That

01:08:55.020 --> 01:08:59.039
guy, yeah. Perfect title. Yeah, well, I thought,

01:08:59.220 --> 01:09:01.880
you know, it's a better title. And it's really

01:09:01.880 --> 01:09:05.079
a good book. This has got, on the back here is

01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:07.260
all the reviews. It's got incredible reviews.

01:09:07.979 --> 01:09:10.979
Everybody, it's a well -written book. But it's

01:09:10.979 --> 01:09:18.720
45 of my biggest roles on TV and in movies. There's

01:09:18.720 --> 01:09:23.890
Mr. Heckles, there's old Joe. There's Tom Pepper

01:09:23.890 --> 01:09:28.229
from Friends, you know, the Kramer thing. You

01:09:28.229 --> 01:09:30.930
know, see, there's certain things that if I focus

01:09:30.930 --> 01:09:35.210
on and don't, because in other words, my focus

01:09:35.210 --> 01:09:39.470
far outweighs my dyslexia. In other words, it

01:09:39.470 --> 01:09:43.949
doesn't even come. I just so love this. There's

01:09:43.949 --> 01:09:46.350
no way I'm going to forget this. There's just

01:09:46.350 --> 01:09:51.289
no way. And Tom Pepper, who imitated Kramer.

01:09:51.949 --> 01:09:56.449
That was the only role where that happened. Or

01:09:56.449 --> 01:09:59.710
I thought, holy cow, this is what actors must

01:09:59.710 --> 01:10:03.189
do all the time. I wanted that part. I never

01:10:03.189 --> 01:10:07.250
wanted a part more than Tom Pepper. I wanted

01:10:07.250 --> 01:10:13.609
to imitate Kramer. Because Michael Richards was

01:10:13.609 --> 01:10:18.399
a gift to me. But a gift to everybody. That's

01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:21.579
one of the greatest characters ever was, to my

01:10:21.579 --> 01:10:26.539
mind. A secondary character. You know, not the

01:10:26.539 --> 01:10:29.520
star, but a second banana. That's what they called

01:10:29.520 --> 01:10:32.399
him. Yeah. Second banana. He's a great, great

01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:37.619
character. And it was in his bailiwick. I used

01:10:37.619 --> 01:10:41.840
to watch him on Friday, the show Fridays. And

01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:45.500
he was just, I think, a head in a TV screen.

01:10:46.189 --> 01:10:50.010
And he was hysterical. He just filled whatever

01:10:50.010 --> 01:10:53.149
you gave him. Until, of course, he lost it as

01:10:53.149 --> 01:10:56.470
a nightclub comedian. But anyway, we were friends.

01:10:57.189 --> 01:10:59.369
We were friends. That's why I know so much about

01:10:59.369 --> 01:11:02.590
him. Because we looked alike, and we would always

01:11:02.590 --> 01:11:05.649
see each other in auditions. We would audition

01:11:05.649 --> 01:11:08.550
for the same parts. We even played brothers in

01:11:08.550 --> 01:11:14.050
a sitcom about a restaurant. I don't know. Oh,

01:11:14.069 --> 01:11:17.369
wow. I don't remember the name of it. It was

01:11:17.369 --> 01:11:21.449
a restaurant sitcom years ago. But we played

01:11:21.449 --> 01:11:23.409
brothers who robbed the place. We were going

01:11:23.409 --> 01:11:26.010
to rob this restaurant. So, you know, we got

01:11:26.010 --> 01:11:28.229
to hang out together and, you know, work out

01:11:28.229 --> 01:11:30.710
brothers things. It was really great working

01:11:30.710 --> 01:11:34.189
with him because he knows comedy. Now the difference,

01:11:34.430 --> 01:11:37.930
and we had arguments, because he has a different

01:11:37.930 --> 01:11:43.430
value of comedy. He likes to go over the top.

01:11:43.819 --> 01:11:47.439
And I like to go under the top or under the character.

01:11:47.659 --> 01:11:52.619
I like to force the audience to come to me. Okay.

01:11:52.859 --> 01:11:57.819
But he likes to get in the face of the audience.

01:11:58.060 --> 01:12:01.779
And it works because he does it perfectly. He's

01:12:01.779 --> 01:12:05.300
got that down. He doesn't have to even try. You

01:12:05.300 --> 01:12:10.739
know, coming through the door. Yeah. Iconic.

01:12:10.800 --> 01:12:14.270
Yeah. And when I was auditioning, that's all

01:12:14.270 --> 01:12:17.630
they did is tell me that Larry David, it's all

01:12:17.630 --> 01:12:20.590
he did was, you know, there was Seinfeld was

01:12:20.590 --> 01:12:22.789
at the audition and there was a lot of people

01:12:22.789 --> 01:12:25.750
auditioning for that part. There was Seinfeld,

01:12:25.750 --> 01:12:28.890
there was Costanza in there, you know, in the

01:12:28.890 --> 01:12:33.590
audition room, in the room. The director. So

01:12:33.590 --> 01:12:36.590
the director is, oh, you can tell always. There's

01:12:36.590 --> 01:12:39.380
always four people, always. But you can always

01:12:39.380 --> 01:12:42.479
tell who the director is. He's the worst dressed

01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:47.739
guy. They always, you know, wearing a T -shirt,

01:12:47.779 --> 01:12:51.359
jeans, you know, sweatshirt. He's picking his

01:12:51.359 --> 01:12:54.220
nose. That's the director. That's the director.

01:12:54.699 --> 01:12:57.000
And then there's also a guy in a suit. Oh, that's

01:12:57.000 --> 01:12:58.859
the guy from upstairs. You know, he's the finance

01:12:58.859 --> 01:13:01.600
guy. You know, he's looking out for you. Can't

01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:04.300
curse. You can't don't pick him. We don't like

01:13:04.300 --> 01:13:06.600
him. upstairs we don't like him what do you mean

01:13:06.600 --> 01:13:08.979
you don't like him he's a great man you know

01:13:08.979 --> 01:13:11.880
so that's a suit and then there's the star is

01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:14.739
just sometimes there like Seinfeld was there

01:13:14.739 --> 01:13:17.579
Costanza just liked being there he just yeah

01:13:17.579 --> 01:13:20.460
and then there was a this stranger who I never

01:13:20.460 --> 01:13:24.939
met who kept on telling me uh he would just he

01:13:24.939 --> 01:13:27.000
wouldn't say anything this stranger this bald

01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:29.539
guy he would just he would just sit there and

01:13:29.539 --> 01:13:33.250
watch and then um they would say thank you and

01:13:33.250 --> 01:13:35.170
there's a way of saying thank you where it means

01:13:35.170 --> 01:13:37.869
get out of here we're finished with you right

01:13:37.869 --> 01:13:41.090
okay and you know blah blah blah blah blah all

01:13:41.090 --> 01:13:43.329
right now could you do it again but uh do it

01:13:43.329 --> 01:13:46.810
you know you know as if you had measles okay

01:13:46.810 --> 01:13:50.970
uh so you do it that way and this guy just sat

01:13:50.970 --> 01:13:54.470
there and then and then they would say okay um

01:13:54.470 --> 01:14:00.170
thank you and that's a signal too thank you yeah

01:14:01.340 --> 01:14:04.720
Get out. And I would go. And in Seinfeld, there

01:14:04.720 --> 01:14:07.180
was a door you came in where all the people sat

01:14:07.180 --> 01:14:09.659
and they say, you know, and they open the door

01:14:09.659 --> 01:14:12.319
next. And then you come in, who's next? You sign

01:14:12.319 --> 01:14:15.039
in, you know, next. And you'd go in, but there

01:14:15.039 --> 01:14:18.159
was another door out. So you wouldn't go in the

01:14:18.159 --> 01:14:21.539
same place that you came in, go out the hall.

01:14:22.060 --> 01:14:24.800
So as I, thank you. And as I would go to the

01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:27.739
door to go out, right before I put my hand on

01:14:27.739 --> 01:14:30.539
the, because I auditioned five times and it happened.

01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:33.300
every time. Just before I put my hand on the

01:14:33.300 --> 01:14:39.539
doorknob, he'd say, hold it, go in, go out and

01:14:39.539 --> 01:14:43.560
come in the door like Kramer. And he would point

01:14:43.560 --> 01:14:46.399
to the door I came in. And that's the first time

01:14:46.399 --> 01:14:50.600
he would speak. Five times I auditioned. And

01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:54.640
every time he did the exact same thing. So he'd

01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:59.279
say, hold it, go out the door and come in like

01:14:59.279 --> 01:15:01.899
Kramer. And this is Larry David you're talking

01:15:01.899 --> 01:15:04.239
about, right? What? This is Larry David you're

01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:06.279
talking about? Well, I didn't know who it was.

01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:09.300
Oh, okay, you didn't know who it was. So, you

01:15:09.300 --> 01:15:15.060
know, so, yeah, it was Larry David, but I didn't

01:15:15.060 --> 01:15:17.840
know that. Right. But he's telling me to do this

01:15:17.840 --> 01:15:20.319
every time. That's all he said. Everybody would,

01:15:20.399 --> 01:15:22.920
there was conversations, hey, that's pretty funny,

01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:25.020
you know, try it like this, blah, blah, blah.

01:15:25.520 --> 01:15:27.600
But nobody said go out and come in the door.

01:15:27.720 --> 01:15:30.859
But this bald guy did. So on the fifth time,

01:15:30.939 --> 01:15:34.020
because it was pissing me off. You know, I do

01:15:34.020 --> 01:15:36.899
it once, you do it twice, three times. But four

01:15:36.899 --> 01:15:40.819
times, five times. So on the fourth time, when

01:15:40.819 --> 01:15:45.079
he did it, I just, that was the button. Anger.

01:15:45.439 --> 01:15:48.340
You know, I don't, because I never wanted to

01:15:48.340 --> 01:15:51.859
be an actor. So all this was gifts to me. My

01:15:51.859 --> 01:15:54.840
paycheck, no matter what it was, was a gift.

01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:58.500
I was a stand -up comedian. And this is all just.

01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:04.140
for no reason at all so i got really angry and

01:16:04.140 --> 01:16:06.659
then he'd say and i i did it the fourth time

01:16:06.659 --> 01:16:10.439
but i was angry and i went out into the room

01:16:10.439 --> 01:16:12.520
where all these people are and i came in and

01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:15.039
i and he said thank you and he said thank you

01:16:15.039 --> 01:16:21.380
you go out the fifth time he comes i i they say

01:16:21.380 --> 01:16:24.579
you know next and it was my turn so just as about

01:16:24.579 --> 01:16:27.939
to go in the room for the fifth time I turned

01:16:27.939 --> 01:16:30.739
to the secretary just for some reason. And I

01:16:30.739 --> 01:16:32.779
said, look, and I was really angry going in.

01:16:32.899 --> 01:16:34.659
I mean, I was really angry. And they said to

01:16:34.659 --> 01:16:37.520
her, Hey, you know, there's a guy, a bald guy

01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:39.960
sitting on a couch at the end. He's always sitting

01:16:39.960 --> 01:16:42.640
there. Who the fuck is he? Because if he tells

01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:45.000
me to go in and come out and like Kramer again,

01:16:45.119 --> 01:16:47.539
I'm going to just cut him another asshole. Okay.

01:16:47.819 --> 01:16:51.260
Who the fuck is that? I said it just like that.

01:16:51.560 --> 01:16:53.579
And there was like four other people, you know,

01:16:53.579 --> 01:16:56.300
we were at the end. They, they left, but I just

01:16:56.300 --> 01:16:58.670
read. And she says, oh, that's Larry David. He

01:16:58.670 --> 01:17:02.930
owns the show and he writes the sitcom. It's

01:17:02.930 --> 01:17:10.850
like, oh. So I went in. Thank you. Hey, just

01:17:10.850 --> 01:17:13.649
go in and come out like Kramer again. You bet.

01:17:13.829 --> 01:17:20.529
Thank you. You bet. Thank you. And I got the

01:17:20.529 --> 01:17:24.970
part. But he was that close. But he's a great

01:17:24.970 --> 01:17:30.500
director, man. He gave me the greatest direction

01:17:30.500 --> 01:17:36.380
ever of anybody. Which was? I'll tell you. But

01:17:36.380 --> 01:17:39.779
I've been directed by, you know, John Huston,

01:17:39.819 --> 01:17:45.300
John Hughes, Vince Gilligan. I've been directed

01:17:45.300 --> 01:17:47.699
by a lot of famous directors, you know, and even

01:17:47.699 --> 01:17:54.220
the ones I don't remember anymore. But my idea

01:17:54.220 --> 01:17:58.779
about Tom Pepper. was, you know, did you eat

01:17:58.779 --> 01:18:01.539
the raisins? Did you steal the raisins? That

01:18:01.539 --> 01:18:04.939
was the key to the character. And I did, and

01:18:04.939 --> 01:18:08.199
I wouldn't cop to it. So I figured if I'm not

01:18:08.199 --> 01:18:10.640
going to cop, then I'm not going to cop, period.

01:18:11.060 --> 01:18:13.880
I'm going to be Buster Keaton. You know, just

01:18:13.880 --> 01:18:16.479
Stonewall face. I'm not going to, no emotion,

01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:22.899
no emotion. So, and that would enable me to be

01:18:22.899 --> 01:18:27.220
Kramer. If Tom Pepper had no emotion, I could

01:18:27.220 --> 01:18:30.260
just, you know, I don't have to hide Larry. Okay.

01:18:30.640 --> 01:18:38.159
So I, now I go through the rehearsal and, and

01:18:38.159 --> 01:18:44.079
the great thing about Larry David is he stands

01:18:44.079 --> 01:18:46.920
with, he's not the director. He just stands on

01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:50.960
the side of the director. The director is a traffic

01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:55.000
guy for the cameras. Larry David just stands

01:18:55.000 --> 01:18:57.979
there with his arms crossed and he just watches.

01:18:58.100 --> 01:19:02.659
And then he will call only the regulars, you

01:19:02.659 --> 01:19:07.340
know, Kramer, Seinfeld, Costanza, and the girl.

01:19:08.220 --> 01:19:10.899
He would only give directions to them. And what

01:19:10.899 --> 01:19:14.340
he did was he would call them over and have a

01:19:14.340 --> 01:19:21.939
private talk. He'd say, you know, Seinfeld. Jerry.

01:19:22.420 --> 01:19:29.159
Jerry. Thank you. Say, Jerry, I want to talk

01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:31.500
to you. She'd pull Jerry over, and they'd go

01:19:31.500 --> 01:19:36.979
over, and he'd go, and Jerry would go, and he'd

01:19:36.979 --> 01:19:40.039
go back in, and they'd do the scene again, and

01:19:40.039 --> 01:19:43.340
it'd be funnier. And I thought, what the fuck

01:19:43.340 --> 01:19:46.319
did he tell them? I couldn't tell the difference.

01:19:47.130 --> 01:19:50.810
Right. So now I'm like really watching it. And

01:19:50.810 --> 01:19:52.970
he'd do it again to like Costanza. He'd say,

01:19:52.989 --> 01:19:57.050
Costanza, you know, he'd say, Tom, Tom is the

01:19:57.050 --> 01:20:00.470
director. He'd say, Tom, cut for a second during

01:20:00.470 --> 01:20:03.590
rehearsal. Tom, hold it for a second. I want

01:20:03.590 --> 01:20:05.890
to talk to Costanza. And he'd say, cut. All right.

01:20:06.149 --> 01:20:08.770
And he'd say, Costanza, I want to talk to you.

01:20:08.829 --> 01:20:15.439
And he'd pull Costanza aside. Go back in. do

01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:19.199
the scene again it'd be funnier man but he would

01:20:19.199 --> 01:20:21.060
only do it he wouldn't do it to anybody else

01:20:21.060 --> 01:20:23.420
he would just do it to the four regulars uh yeah

01:20:23.420 --> 01:20:26.560
so i was saying you know what i want him to call

01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:29.000
me over i want him to call me over yeah just

01:20:29.000 --> 01:20:31.680
just to find out what what is the magic dust

01:20:31.680 --> 01:20:34.539
he's giving them yeah it would always be funnier

01:20:34.539 --> 01:20:37.680
and then finally he said tom i want to talk to

01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:41.960
larry just can you cut all right larry he wants

01:20:41.960 --> 01:20:43.760
to talk to you all right come here and he pulled

01:20:43.760 --> 01:20:46.260
me aside and i'm thinking oh cool man it's so

01:20:46.260 --> 01:20:48.479
cool he's gonna tell me magic and i'm gonna be

01:20:48.479 --> 01:20:54.359
funnier so you know like i said stone face yeah

01:20:54.359 --> 01:20:57.680
so he comes over and he he calls me off this

01:20:57.680 --> 01:21:02.100
and he says um and this this is verbatim and

01:21:02.100 --> 01:21:07.920
this is all he said he said um i know what you're

01:21:07.920 --> 01:21:15.270
trying to do And the key to that thing is the

01:21:15.270 --> 01:21:19.510
word trying. Right. Really got my goat. Yeah.

01:21:19.750 --> 01:21:21.510
Like I was thinking, what the fuck do you mean

01:21:21.510 --> 01:21:26.050
trying? You mean doing. Fuck you. I mean, that's

01:21:26.050 --> 01:21:28.250
what I had in my head. But, you know, this is

01:21:28.250 --> 01:21:36.729
Larry David. I go, what do you mean? And he goes.

01:21:40.280 --> 01:21:45.840
You're trying to do nothing. And I go, holy cow,

01:21:45.939 --> 01:21:48.000
that's exactly what I'm trying to do. Nothing.

01:21:48.100 --> 01:21:50.020
And in other words, he blew my mind because he

01:21:50.020 --> 01:21:52.699
read my mind because he actually is paying attention

01:21:52.699 --> 01:21:54.979
and he knows what I'm doing. He's giving me a

01:21:54.979 --> 01:22:00.659
direction. I'm doing something. Okay. And that's

01:22:00.659 --> 01:22:04.340
in my mind. I'm going, right, right. But I did.

01:22:04.840 --> 01:22:07.600
get excited and i just totally dropped any kind

01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:10.159
of anger i remember getting really excited that

01:22:10.159 --> 01:22:13.000
he actually was paying attention to what i was

01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:15.380
doing so i said well thank you very much he said

01:22:15.380 --> 01:22:18.079
okay and he just walked away that was all he

01:22:18.079 --> 01:22:23.880
said and then um i i do the scene again and he

01:22:23.880 --> 01:22:26.420
and he immediately yelled i want to talk to larry

01:22:26.420 --> 01:22:30.579
yeah you know i just was trying to say something

01:22:30.579 --> 01:22:34.770
and he did Tom, stop it. I want to talk to Larry.

01:22:34.850 --> 01:22:37.810
He calls me over again. And I go, oh, now he's

01:22:37.810 --> 01:22:41.090
going to lay another truth on me. Yeah. And he

01:22:41.090 --> 01:22:45.470
goes, you're still doing something. And he walked

01:22:45.470 --> 01:22:49.630
away. Wow. That's the greatest piece of directing

01:22:49.630 --> 01:22:52.810
I've ever heard. How funny. You know, I know

01:22:52.810 --> 01:22:54.930
what you're doing. You're trying to do nothing.

01:22:55.710 --> 01:23:00.029
You're still doing something. Take it down. Okay.

01:23:04.129 --> 01:23:07.289
that man could do no wrong for the rest of his

01:23:07.289 --> 01:23:11.609
life yeah that's like you're gonna have to keep

01:23:11.609 --> 01:23:14.750
coming here until you do i mean this is the same

01:23:14.750 --> 01:23:19.970
thing it's you know uh yes every once in a while

01:23:19.970 --> 01:23:23.229
you know i i get my little jollies from acting

01:23:23.229 --> 01:23:29.229
but sure really i it's you know i when i was

01:23:29.229 --> 01:23:32.930
turning down big roles Because of the dyslexia

01:23:32.930 --> 01:23:36.630
thing. It didn't affect me. You know, I mean,

01:23:36.670 --> 01:23:39.229
in other words, if I really want to be an actor,

01:23:39.289 --> 01:23:41.390
that would be a killer. Then I would probably

01:23:41.390 --> 01:23:46.010
sacrifice my salary as Henry Winkler did and

01:23:46.010 --> 01:23:48.529
hire somebody to, you know, it's a workaround.

01:23:48.710 --> 01:23:51.890
That's all. Yeah. But it, you know, no matter

01:23:51.890 --> 01:23:54.449
what a director said, it never got under my skin

01:23:54.449 --> 01:23:56.789
or, you know, and I was, if I didn't get the

01:23:56.789 --> 01:24:01.460
part, that's fine. Probably. that's the attitude.

01:24:01.619 --> 01:24:04.500
If you want to be an actor that you have to really,

01:24:04.579 --> 01:24:08.380
you know, embrace that kind of attitude of being

01:24:08.380 --> 01:24:12.020
rejected five times out of, you know, 10. Right.

01:24:12.539 --> 01:24:14.399
I'm hearing they're coming out with home alone

01:24:14.399 --> 01:24:18.619
for Kevin McAllister is Macaulay Culkin. He's

01:24:18.619 --> 01:24:22.439
the adult and his son gets left home alone. So

01:24:22.439 --> 01:24:25.380
maybe they, you got to reprise your role in it

01:24:25.380 --> 01:24:30.050
and be the, I don't think so. No. Well, I mean,

01:24:30.109 --> 01:24:38.789
for a really cool reason, to me, okay, I'll tell

01:24:38.789 --> 01:24:41.010
you this. It's a short story. It's very short.

01:24:41.890 --> 01:24:46.029
But I didn't want to do that role. I turned that

01:24:46.029 --> 01:24:50.050
role down three times. And I turned it down because

01:24:50.050 --> 01:24:55.359
of ego, completely. They said to me, Uh, listen,

01:24:55.560 --> 01:24:58.800
uh, we got a call. My agent said, we got a call.

01:24:59.060 --> 01:25:01.619
They're shooting a movie called Home Alone. It's

01:25:01.619 --> 01:25:03.579
going to be a big, it's going to be a big hit.

01:25:03.720 --> 01:25:06.659
It's John Hughes and Chris Columbus is directing.

01:25:06.859 --> 01:25:09.680
It's going to be a big hit no matter what. I

01:25:09.680 --> 01:25:11.500
said, well, you know, what's the party? She says,

01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:15.260
well, it's just, uh, it's, um, it's one page.

01:25:15.859 --> 01:25:19.079
It's, it's just a, it's a short scene. I said,

01:25:19.119 --> 01:25:22.350
well, go with it then. I mean, at that point,

01:25:22.369 --> 01:25:25.670
I was starting to get bigger roles. Sure. And

01:25:25.670 --> 01:25:28.630
that was too small, you know, because you got

01:25:28.630 --> 01:25:31.649
to keep building upward. That was my thinking.

01:25:32.210 --> 01:25:34.250
You know, I'm trying to think like an actor.

01:25:34.829 --> 01:25:37.130
Right. And I said, no, I don't want to do it.

01:25:37.189 --> 01:25:38.930
And they called back and they said, look, we

01:25:38.930 --> 01:25:41.890
want Larry. He's really good. You know, we want

01:25:41.890 --> 01:25:44.850
him. And I said, I don't care if they want me.

01:25:45.109 --> 01:25:48.069
It's a too smaller role. I'm thinking of my career.

01:25:48.130 --> 01:25:50.130
I'm trying to build a career here. I'm trying

01:25:50.130 --> 01:25:53.369
to do it the way the actors do just to get more

01:25:53.369 --> 01:25:57.189
money. It's just too small. I mean, if it was

01:25:57.189 --> 01:26:04.010
four pages, okay. And they called back again

01:26:04.010 --> 01:26:07.050
and again the third time. So they're just, what

01:26:07.050 --> 01:26:09.470
is this with this? Why do they want me so much?

01:26:09.550 --> 01:26:11.489
I don't want to do the small part. That's the

01:26:11.489 --> 01:26:16.229
whole point. It's not that I'm being uppity or

01:26:16.229 --> 01:26:20.319
anything. I'm trying to protect myself. And he

01:26:20.319 --> 01:26:24.420
says, Larry, look, they'll fly you in first class.

01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:28.180
They will pick you up at the airport. They'll

01:26:28.180 --> 01:26:31.300
pick you up in a limo. They'll fly you first

01:26:31.300 --> 01:26:34.720
class. They'll pick a limo from the airport to

01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:37.880
the set. They'll have the set set up for you.

01:26:38.590 --> 01:26:41.550
Told to me by the producers, they want you. They'll

01:26:41.550 --> 01:26:44.590
have this set all set up. All you do is go in,

01:26:44.710 --> 01:26:48.949
say your four lines. I had four lines. Say your

01:26:48.949 --> 01:26:54.029
four lines will be all set up. And then the limo

01:26:54.029 --> 01:26:57.029
will wait for you at the curb. When you're finished,

01:26:57.189 --> 01:27:00.470
you'll do one take. That's it. You get back in

01:27:00.470 --> 01:27:03.369
the car and you will sleep in your own bed the

01:27:03.369 --> 01:27:06.689
same night. Now, do you want to do it? And I

01:27:06.689 --> 01:27:09.090
say, no. And he said, Larry, they're willing

01:27:09.090 --> 01:27:12.649
to pay you $10 ,000. And they said, okay, let's

01:27:12.649 --> 01:27:15.909
do it. Fine. Let's go. Fine with me. Let's do

01:27:15.909 --> 01:27:19.369
it. Yeah, I'm there. So that's what happened.

01:27:19.770 --> 01:27:25.149
So I got $10 ,000 to do it. And I said, now I

01:27:25.149 --> 01:27:29.609
did say, why are they willing to pay me $10 ,000?

01:27:29.869 --> 01:27:32.529
I don't deserve it. I'm going to do it and I'm

01:27:32.529 --> 01:27:37.920
going to love it. I'm not in that bracket. That's

01:27:37.920 --> 01:27:40.699
what I'm trying to go to. You don't give $10

01:27:40.699 --> 01:27:44.640
,000 for four lines. So what's going on? So they

01:27:44.640 --> 01:27:50.600
told me the truth. The producer, one of the producers,

01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:55.500
called me to make sure when my agent said, yeah,

01:27:55.520 --> 01:27:59.739
he's going to do it for the $10 ,000. The producer,

01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:02.020
one of the producers, two producers, called me

01:28:02.020 --> 01:28:06.439
at my home. to check to see that i really did

01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:10.479
want to do it that the agent wasn't pulling you

01:28:10.479 --> 01:28:13.500
know their leg wow this was real he said now

01:28:13.500 --> 01:28:15.560
you're really doing this right because i had

01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:17.920
turned it down three times you know and then

01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:19.859
they wanted to say well is he putting me on now

01:28:19.859 --> 01:28:22.920
so i said no no fine he says okay i'll see you

01:28:22.920 --> 01:28:25.199
here tomorrow okay boom he said you got you got

01:28:25.199 --> 01:28:26.680
to shoot it tomorrow that was the other thing

01:28:26.680 --> 01:28:29.439
you got to shoot it tomorrow so i said well why

01:28:30.239 --> 01:28:32.600
Did you pay? Why are you paying me so much money?

01:28:32.659 --> 01:28:35.979
I asked him that. He said, well, if the truth

01:28:35.979 --> 01:28:41.060
be told, Larry, we truly believe that Home Alone

01:28:41.060 --> 01:28:46.520
is cursed. And I go, what? And he goes, yeah,

01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:49.260
we've been shooting for three days now and it's

01:28:49.260 --> 01:28:53.359
going very badly. And it's not one thing. It's

01:28:53.359 --> 01:28:57.560
nothing is working. And we figured we've got

01:28:57.560 --> 01:29:01.300
to change the vibe. So we were calling you in

01:29:01.300 --> 01:29:03.439
because you've done very funny stuff that we've

01:29:03.439 --> 01:29:08.159
seen. And, you know, we just need something to

01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.500
take the curse off. That was all, you know, and

01:29:11.500 --> 01:29:15.039
we were hoping that if we get Larry, he'll be

01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:18.760
funny and we can get on with making this movie.

01:29:19.239 --> 01:29:21.720
No pressure there, Larry, right? No pressure?

01:29:21.939 --> 01:29:24.539
Well, no, it was only four lines. I had no pressure

01:29:24.539 --> 01:29:27.180
at all. I was just curious, and I was glad I

01:29:27.180 --> 01:29:31.000
was getting $10 ,000. You can't make me nervous

01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:35.659
or think I'm being used giving me $10 ,000 for

01:29:35.659 --> 01:29:38.560
four lines and having me sleep in my own bed.

01:29:38.779 --> 01:29:44.579
Now, the one thing that I... thought was really

01:29:44.579 --> 01:29:50.319
great about the whole office. Okay, let me connect

01:29:50.319 --> 01:29:54.220
you with family crisis intervention. Here's the

01:29:54.220 --> 01:29:58.420
thing. Larry, can you pick up? There's some lady

01:29:58.420 --> 01:30:04.020
on hold. Sounds kind of hyper. Family crisis

01:30:04.020 --> 01:30:06.979
intervention, Sergeant Balzac. I'm calling from

01:30:06.979 --> 01:30:09.199
Paris. I have a son who's home alone. Has the

01:30:09.199 --> 01:30:11.020
child been involved in a violent altercation

01:30:11.020 --> 01:30:13.000
with Drunken Andrew, a mentally ill member of

01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:16.000
his immediate family? No. Has he been involved

01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:18.939
in a household accident? I don't know. I don't...

01:30:18.939 --> 01:30:27.020
I hope not. There it is. No, he's just home alone.

01:30:27.319 --> 01:30:29.439
I'd like somebody to go over to the house and

01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:31.020
see that he's alright, just to check on him.

01:30:32.060 --> 01:30:35.460
You want us to go to your house? Just to check

01:30:35.460 --> 01:30:38.899
on him. Yes! Let me connect you with the police

01:30:38.899 --> 01:30:40.899
department. No, they just transferred me to you.

01:30:41.340 --> 01:30:44.180
Rose! Yeah? Piper on two. Hang on. Hold on, please.

01:30:44.340 --> 01:30:49.600
Piper on two. Ah, I love it. Okay, so let me

01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:52.800
just tell you what happened. Larry, real quick,

01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:56.949
was your name Officer Ballsack? Yeah. Well, that

01:30:56.949 --> 01:30:59.970
was the joke. It's Balzac, B -A -L -Z -A -C,

01:31:00.189 --> 01:31:02.729
but Balzac, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it.

01:31:02.750 --> 01:31:11.609
I mean, okay. So when I saw, okay, I heard that

01:31:11.609 --> 01:31:16.890
the movie was cursed. That I understood. But

01:31:16.890 --> 01:31:19.850
I also asked one of the crew members when I got

01:31:19.850 --> 01:31:22.329
there, and they had the limousine, first class,

01:31:22.529 --> 01:31:25.529
limo all the way, first class, and I get there.

01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:29.199
And the first thing I, oh, so when the producer

01:31:29.199 --> 01:31:32.140
called me on the phone the night before, I just

01:31:32.140 --> 01:31:34.079
wanted to check to see that you're really going

01:31:34.079 --> 01:31:37.460
to do this. I said, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay.

01:31:38.220 --> 01:31:42.159
And then he said, and this was really a weird

01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:44.840
thing. He said to me, now, what kind of props

01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:47.779
do you want? So I go, what do you mean? It's

01:31:47.779 --> 01:31:50.100
just a cop on the phone. I don't understand.

01:31:50.520 --> 01:31:53.159
What kind of props can I have? He said, well,

01:31:53.180 --> 01:31:54.720
I thought, you know, maybe you wanted to use

01:31:54.720 --> 01:31:57.279
a different phone, a cell phone, or you want

01:31:57.279 --> 01:31:59.920
a different uniform. We don't know. I mean, we're

01:31:59.920 --> 01:32:03.380
paying you $10 ,000. We might as well give you,

01:32:03.399 --> 01:32:05.899
you know, carte blanche with the character. You

01:32:05.899 --> 01:32:08.699
know, you're a funny guy. We trust you. So if

01:32:08.699 --> 01:32:13.300
you want any prop, we'll give it to you. So I'm

01:32:13.300 --> 01:32:17.539
thinking, it's a cop, right? He goes, yeah, yeah,

01:32:17.560 --> 01:32:23.819
it's a cop. Okay, give me a donut. He goes, that's

01:32:23.819 --> 01:32:26.819
what you want? A donut? Well, you know, it's

01:32:26.819 --> 01:32:31.619
a cop. It's a donut. It'll be funny. I go, that's

01:32:31.619 --> 01:32:34.340
all? He goes, yeah, yeah, that's all. I mean,

01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:37.880
I was like, I thought, you know, I wasn't thinking

01:32:37.880 --> 01:32:40.760
too hard about it. Sure. Yeah, yeah, that's all.

01:32:40.920 --> 01:32:43.420
Fine. Because I thought it had nothing to really

01:32:43.420 --> 01:32:46.100
do with the scene, so it's fine. So I get there,

01:32:46.380 --> 01:32:50.630
and, you know, the... The producers are waiting

01:32:50.630 --> 01:32:54.590
at the curb for the limo. And the limo drives

01:32:54.590 --> 01:32:58.369
up, and they both escort me. They say, no, quick,

01:32:58.529 --> 01:33:02.350
we got it all set up. We're losing time. Everything

01:33:02.350 --> 01:33:05.050
is time is money there. Everything is time is

01:33:05.050 --> 01:33:07.210
money. So they go, yeah, yeah, so just get in

01:33:07.210 --> 01:33:08.890
your car. I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it. So

01:33:08.890 --> 01:33:11.310
they bring me to the set, and it's all set up,

01:33:11.310 --> 01:33:13.170
just like you saw it in the movie. It's all set

01:33:13.170 --> 01:33:16.409
up. There's the phone, you know, the landline

01:33:16.409 --> 01:33:19.149
phone, everything. And I'm going, whoa, whoa,

01:33:19.149 --> 01:33:21.930
whoa. And he says, go change in your uniform.

01:33:21.970 --> 01:33:23.470
We'll shoot you and you put your back in the

01:33:23.470 --> 01:33:25.649
limo. I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

01:33:26.289 --> 01:33:30.229
I asked for a donut. I wanted a glazed donut.

01:33:31.329 --> 01:33:35.869
And he goes, where is it? And he goes, look,

01:33:36.069 --> 01:33:38.569
just put it on. And he's not even thinking about

01:33:38.569 --> 01:33:41.649
that. He says, just get in your uniform and let's

01:33:41.649 --> 01:33:44.869
just shoot this. We're contracted to get you

01:33:44.869 --> 01:33:49.270
to. sleep in your own bed tonight. So I said,

01:33:49.350 --> 01:33:52.550
no, no, I want, I wanted, I wanted a donut. Now

01:33:52.550 --> 01:33:56.170
I'm just fucking with them now. No, no, I want

01:33:56.170 --> 01:33:58.529
a donut. I wanted a glazed donut. He says, don't

01:33:58.529 --> 01:34:00.590
worry. We'll have the glazed donut. Just go get

01:34:00.590 --> 01:34:03.289
in your cop uniform. So I really rushed. I put

01:34:03.289 --> 01:34:05.970
on the cop uniform and see, you know, honestly,

01:34:06.090 --> 01:34:09.010
they really went for a glazed donut. Holy cow.

01:34:09.270 --> 01:34:12.270
This is okay. They really must think this is

01:34:12.270 --> 01:34:15.329
cursed. So I come back. And you know these rolling

01:34:15.329 --> 01:34:19.630
trays they have in bakeries, you know? Oh, yeah.

01:34:19.729 --> 01:34:21.869
Trays and trays and trays. And they can roll

01:34:21.869 --> 01:34:25.189
it around. Okay. Standing next to the camera

01:34:25.189 --> 01:34:27.989
when I came back. And then the camera set up.

01:34:27.989 --> 01:34:30.829
It was lit. Everything set up. Just had to just

01:34:30.829 --> 01:34:33.630
sit down. So right next to the camera, they have

01:34:33.630 --> 01:34:36.550
one of these rolling trays. And on each tray,

01:34:36.770 --> 01:34:40.229
there's 10 trays. And each tray, there was...

01:34:41.500 --> 01:34:46.159
there was 20 levels. And on each level there

01:34:46.159 --> 01:34:54.300
was 30 donuts. 30 glazed donuts. 600 glazed donuts

01:34:54.300 --> 01:34:58.659
they had standing by the camera. So I said, what

01:34:58.659 --> 01:35:01.640
the fuck, man? I just wanted one glazed donut.

01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:04.380
And he said, we may have to do two takes, Larry.

01:35:05.300 --> 01:35:09.710

very funny. Okay, yeah. Okay, so give me another

01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:45.880

01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:48.760
not working on the movies, they're stealing donuts

01:35:48.760 --> 01:35:52.979
from the bottom thing. Of course. I say, hey,

01:35:53.020 --> 01:35:58.279
get away. We may do 600 takes. Back off, okay?

01:35:59.800 --> 01:36:03.880
Because the movie is cursed, you know. Take two.

01:36:04.199 --> 01:36:07.479
Blah, blah, blah, blah. Cut. All right, now what?

01:36:07.840 --> 01:36:10.359
He said, the camera just went off the dolly.

01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:13.779
Because it's one, you know, it's a dolly. Oh,

01:36:13.920 --> 01:36:16.720
yeah. So he says, the camera just went off the

01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:20.300
dolly. I'd say, okay, fine. All right, take three.

01:36:20.760 --> 01:36:27.640
And cut. Now what? And there was something. Take

01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:32.180

01:36:32.239 --> 01:36:38.170
take nine. Wow. Something went wrong. Every fucking

01:36:38.170 --> 01:36:42.149
time. Wow. I never, in nine takes, I never got

01:36:42.149 --> 01:36:46.090
through to the last line. Oh, get out of here.

01:36:46.289 --> 01:36:49.470
Nine takes. Damn. So now everybody is thinking,

01:36:49.569 --> 01:36:53.689
holy cow, including me. I'm going, my God, there

01:36:53.689 --> 01:36:57.909
is a curse on this. Yeah. Okay, take nine. Larry,

01:36:58.050 --> 01:36:59.770
give me another. I'm running out of donuts, and

01:36:59.770 --> 01:37:01.890
I'm tired of eating them. Not bad, I was going

01:37:01.890 --> 01:37:04.619
to say. So, you know, they're all glazed. So,

01:37:04.659 --> 01:37:06.439
you know, and I'm on a diet, you know, and I

01:37:06.439 --> 01:37:10.579
don't like sugar. So it's, it's cursing me in

01:37:10.579 --> 01:37:13.079
every way possible. Okay. Sure. But I'm getting,

01:37:13.079 --> 01:37:17.579
okay. So take nine and I go, okay. And the only

01:37:17.579 --> 01:37:20.560
one who didn't cop to the fact that it's cursed,

01:37:20.619 --> 01:37:22.619
man, you could look at the crew members. They're

01:37:22.619 --> 01:37:25.500
going, Holy cow. You know, this is real. Even

01:37:25.500 --> 01:37:29.159
the producers were, you know, worried. They were

01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:32.619
really worried. But Chris Columbus, hey, let's

01:37:32.619 --> 01:37:35.060
go. Take nine. Come on. Let's do this. Let's

01:37:35.060 --> 01:37:37.720
shoot this and get on with it. He didn't care.

01:37:37.979 --> 01:37:41.159
No, it wasn't cursed. We're making a movie. I

01:37:41.159 --> 01:37:43.260
thought that was really cool. He was totally

01:37:43.260 --> 01:37:46.279
not bothered. Boom. So he's, all right, take

01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:49.060
nine. Okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And

01:37:49.060 --> 01:37:52.020
I hear this explosion above my head. And I'm

01:37:52.020 --> 01:37:56.220
showered with glass from the Klieg light. We're

01:37:56.220 --> 01:37:59.550
shooting on a set. whoa exploded right above

01:37:59.550 --> 01:38:01.909
my face and it showered me in glass you know

01:38:01.909 --> 01:38:04.489
that thin you know those big bulbs like that

01:38:04.489 --> 01:38:07.850
showered me in glass all over my all over me

01:38:07.850 --> 01:38:10.609
all over the desk all over he said okay and chris

01:38:10.609 --> 01:38:13.289
goes i cut all right we get clean this up and

01:38:13.289 --> 01:38:14.989
let's get out of here come on we'll do it again

01:38:14.989 --> 01:38:18.909
so everybody took 10 minute break And they're

01:38:18.909 --> 01:38:21.930
brushing off the table and everything. And there's

01:38:21.930 --> 01:38:25.670
a costume people and makeup people brushing me

01:38:25.670 --> 01:38:28.029
off. And all I'm saying is, I'm not going to

01:38:28.029 --> 01:38:32.029
sue. Don't worry. I'm not going to sue. You know,

01:38:32.029 --> 01:38:33.869
so they're brushing me off. And finally he says,

01:38:33.890 --> 01:38:35.750
okay, let's just get back to it. All right, Larry,

01:38:35.810 --> 01:38:38.369
get in the scene. Give him a donut. Get him another

01:38:38.369 --> 01:38:43.689
donut. Okay. Another donut. Okay. Take 10. Blah,

01:38:43.689 --> 01:38:46.590
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Rose, hyper

01:38:46.590 --> 01:38:52.470
on two. Cut! That's a take. Put Larry in the

01:38:52.470 --> 01:38:57.130
limo. And I said, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

01:38:57.289 --> 01:38:59.569
He said, no, no waiting. We're contracted to

01:38:59.569 --> 01:39:02.350
have you in your bed by tonight. Get the fuck

01:39:02.350 --> 01:39:04.250
in the limo. Get him out of here. Get out of

01:39:04.250 --> 01:39:06.369
your cop's house. So I said, no, I want to see

01:39:06.369 --> 01:39:10.550
what's going on. But I did rush off and I got

01:39:10.550 --> 01:39:13.369
into my clothes, but I wanted to see what was

01:39:13.369 --> 01:39:18.449
so funny. Because when the... He yelled, cut,

01:39:18.670 --> 01:39:22.170
that's a take, print. Larry is released, get

01:39:22.170 --> 01:39:27.189
him in a limo. When he said that, I wanted to

01:39:27.189 --> 01:39:30.609
know what just happened because when he said

01:39:30.609 --> 01:39:34.550
cut, everybody laughed. And on a set, you can't

01:39:34.550 --> 01:39:36.550
laugh until they yell cut because they'll ruin

01:39:36.550 --> 01:39:40.409
the take. If they yell cut and print, you got

01:39:40.409 --> 01:39:43.189
to hold it and then you can laugh. Print, okay.

01:39:43.930 --> 01:39:46.210
So that's what they did. It was a held in laugh.

01:39:46.390 --> 01:39:50.949
And then when he said, we got it. And I said,

01:39:50.989 --> 01:39:53.350
why did they laugh? On the other nine takes,

01:39:53.489 --> 01:39:56.470
nobody laughed every time he said cut. Now they

01:39:56.470 --> 01:39:58.789
laughed when you said cut. But we got through

01:39:58.789 --> 01:40:01.590
the scene. So I said, why did they laugh? He

01:40:01.590 --> 01:40:04.689
said, because it's funny, Larry. I said, what's

01:40:04.689 --> 01:40:08.989
funny? He said, oh, you didn't see? You had a

01:40:08.989 --> 01:40:12.529
piece of. uh the the donut stuck on the phone

01:40:12.529 --> 01:40:14.149
that's what they were like yeah because i was

01:40:14.149 --> 01:40:16.470
looking you know i was looking at yeah i was

01:40:16.470 --> 01:40:20.729
working i didn't know it so he i said what he

01:40:20.729 --> 01:40:23.890
said yeah piece of the donut just stuck to your

01:40:23.890 --> 01:40:26.029
thing i said well that's a mistake he says yeah

01:40:26.029 --> 01:40:29.350
yeah yeah that's great i said let's do it again

01:40:29.350 --> 01:40:32.220
and i insisted I said, no, I want to do it again.

01:40:32.399 --> 01:40:34.619
Give me another donut. He says, no, no, we got

01:40:34.619 --> 01:40:38.039
it, Larry. Just get out of here, will you? And

01:40:38.039 --> 01:40:40.880
he said, just change your costume. We booked

01:40:40.880 --> 01:40:44.819
your flight. We got to get you to the airport.

01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:47.020
There's only one more flight. We got to get you

01:40:47.020 --> 01:40:49.140
back to L .A. And I said, no, I want to know.

01:40:49.220 --> 01:40:50.859
He said, just change your costume, will you?

01:40:50.939 --> 01:40:56.100
So I said, okay, don't touch the tray. I said

01:40:56.100 --> 01:40:58.659
to him, don't touch the donut tray. Don't break

01:40:58.659 --> 01:41:01.960
it, okay? So I rushed in, I changed this. And

01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:03.779
they came back and everybody's like, what the

01:41:03.779 --> 01:41:06.880
fuck? You know, what's with Larry? And so I run

01:41:06.880 --> 01:41:12.100
back and I look at the tray. It was on a soundstage

01:41:12.100 --> 01:41:16.399
and the lights, it exploded because it was so

01:41:16.399 --> 01:41:20.899
hot on the set that the glaze on the donut melted

01:41:20.899 --> 01:41:25.760
acting as glue. that's what held the donut it

01:41:25.760 --> 01:41:29.579
was a piece of the top and it just stuck because

01:41:29.579 --> 01:41:35.079
if you watch the big film or maybe it was shortened

01:41:35.079 --> 01:41:39.699
I couldn't watch but not only is it funny when

01:41:39.699 --> 01:41:44.039
you cut to it but because of the I found this

01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:48.539
out later because of the syrupy you know glaze

01:41:48.539 --> 01:41:53.670
that was now glue the thing was Like if this

01:41:53.670 --> 01:41:56.670
is the microphone. Yeah. It didn't fall here.

01:41:56.869 --> 01:42:02.550
No. It fell here. Right. Yeah. So as I was talking

01:42:02.550 --> 01:42:06.550
and people were laughing at it, it was very slowly

01:42:06.550 --> 01:42:13.010
just falling. It was still glued until finally

01:42:13.010 --> 01:42:16.989
it just was so heavy that it dropped. But that

01:42:16.989 --> 01:42:20.329
was what the kids were. It's like one piece,

01:42:20.529 --> 01:42:24.319
not a stick. But that so when I walk down the

01:42:24.319 --> 01:42:26.640
street now and people say, oh, there's that guy,

01:42:26.840 --> 01:42:30.300
there's that guy. Because everybody watches it

01:42:30.300 --> 01:42:33.800
every Christmas. Yeah. Or Thanksgiving. It's

01:42:33.800 --> 01:42:39.000
a holiday. The family runs over and the kids

01:42:39.000 --> 01:42:42.119
all say, how did you do that? How did you do

01:42:42.119 --> 01:42:45.380
that donut thing? Is it green screen? Did you

01:42:45.380 --> 01:42:48.640
have a string on it? And the fathers will say,

01:42:48.720 --> 01:42:50.979
yeah, how did you do that? You know, what was

01:42:50.979 --> 01:42:53.659
that all about? And I'd have to explain to it.

01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.399
And I love doing it because it's the only time

01:42:56.399 --> 01:43:00.279
I really, I'm interested in explaining to them

01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:03.579
what went on. It's just really weird. But that's

01:43:03.579 --> 01:43:06.500
the most famous crumb in movie history. Oh, absolutely.

01:43:06.720 --> 01:43:09.319
Yes. You got to change the story, Larry, and

01:43:09.319 --> 01:43:14.079
tell people that that's a $5 ,000 CGI. Oh, right.

01:43:14.520 --> 01:43:18.029
Yeah. they were breaking out oh yeah we did that

01:43:18.029 --> 01:43:22.329
10 times before we got it correct exactly right

01:43:22.329 --> 01:43:26.029
we had to bring in ai that was it and it turns

01:43:26.029 --> 01:43:29.350
out the ai was invented 10 years ago nobody knew

01:43:29.350 --> 01:43:32.090
about it you know so i could literally i could

01:43:32.090 --> 01:43:35.189
say that oh no no it's longer than 10 no this

01:43:35.189 --> 01:43:38.960
that was in the set 70s 70s or 80s right You

01:43:38.960 --> 01:43:42.039
can tell people this was Elon Musk's first company

01:43:42.039 --> 01:43:46.739
to stick to the phone. But everybody who's seen

01:43:46.739 --> 01:43:49.359
Home Alone, and that's like everybody all across

01:43:49.359 --> 01:43:52.859
the world. I'm big in India and Germany. Oh,

01:43:52.880 --> 01:43:56.060
yeah. I get, you know, was ist das, you know,

01:43:56.079 --> 01:44:05.119
krummel an das phono? Okay. Yeah, it was great.

01:44:05.300 --> 01:44:07.180
I just said, no, I was just eating a donut, you

01:44:07.180 --> 01:44:12.180
know. By the way, I had to eat 10 donuts for

01:44:12.180 --> 01:44:15.939
your information. Yes, lots of donuts. Did you

01:44:15.939 --> 01:44:18.279
purge afterwards and do the Hollywood thing in

01:44:18.279 --> 01:44:20.880
bulimia? No, I was too busy. Everybody was rushing

01:44:20.880 --> 01:44:22.960
me. Get him in a limo, and the limo was rushing

01:44:22.960 --> 01:44:24.880
the airport because they had booked a plane.

01:44:25.020 --> 01:44:27.560
I mean, there was a schedule that had to be met.

01:44:27.819 --> 01:44:30.399
And son of a gun if I didn't sleep in my own

01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:33.079
bed that night. The great part of the whole thing,

01:44:33.159 --> 01:44:36.619
which kind of wraps this all up, was that...

01:44:36.880 --> 01:44:40.079
The reason that, okay, $10 ,000 was why I was

01:44:40.079 --> 01:44:43.680
doing it. But the second reason why I loved doing

01:44:43.680 --> 01:44:47.819
it was because of the codicil in the contract

01:44:47.819 --> 01:44:50.840
that said they had to get me back to sleep in

01:44:50.840 --> 01:44:54.260
my own bed, which was kind of a joke. But because

01:44:54.260 --> 01:44:58.000
of that joke, I didn't have to pack a thing.

01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:01.859
I could go, I just, whatever I was dressed in,

01:45:01.939 --> 01:45:05.180
I hopped in a limo, I go there, put the costume

01:45:05.180 --> 01:45:09.869
on. put my clothes on and go back home. So I

01:45:09.869 --> 01:45:12.289
spent the evening with my friends, you know,

01:45:12.289 --> 01:45:14.930
and slept in my own bed. That's brilliant. That's

01:45:14.930 --> 01:45:18.090
awesome. All right, Larry. So before we let you

01:45:18.090 --> 01:45:19.890
go, I want to put your book up on the screen.

01:45:19.949 --> 01:45:22.250
You can tell the folks. Here's the book. I I'm

01:45:22.250 --> 01:45:25.250
pushing. This one is too new. It has no reviews

01:45:25.250 --> 01:45:28.510
out on it yet. So give it a chance. It's out

01:45:28.510 --> 01:45:34.050
there. It's on, it's on, it's on Amazon .com.

01:45:34.479 --> 01:45:37.399
Oh, it's also an electronic book. I think it's

01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:39.460
like two bucks or three bucks or something like

01:45:39.460 --> 01:45:42.640
that. So it's an electronic ebook. Or you can

01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:45.319
do, this is the one I'm pushing because this

01:45:45.319 --> 01:45:47.779
one's got great reviews. And it's really about

01:45:47.779 --> 01:45:51.640
all the things that I've done. Home Alone is

01:45:51.640 --> 01:45:54.819
in there. Breaking Bad is in there. My improv

01:45:54.819 --> 01:45:57.300
days at Second City are in there. Trains, planes,

01:45:57.340 --> 01:45:59.479
and automobiles. All stuff, trains, planes, and

01:45:59.479 --> 01:46:02.340
automobiles. All of the big ones for that guy.

01:46:02.840 --> 01:46:05.600
My name is Larry Hankin. It's a cautionary tale.

01:46:05.699 --> 01:46:08.699
The reason it's a cautionary tale is because

01:46:08.699 --> 01:46:11.680
it's a warning. If you want to be an actor, be

01:46:11.680 --> 01:46:15.159
prepared to not do whatever I did in the book.

01:46:17.180 --> 01:46:21.800
It's uncool. You'll be a star if you don't do

01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:24.119
what I did. Okay, guys. Hey, that was great.

01:46:24.399 --> 01:46:27.300
Yes. Thank you again. That was amazing. Yes,

01:46:27.380 --> 01:46:29.600
Larry. Thank you so much. Thank you, Larry. Okay,

01:46:29.619 --> 01:46:31.479
I'll see you in another year or so or however

01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:34.520
long. Perfect. Okay, cool. All right, bye. Thank

01:46:34.520 --> 01:46:37.560
you. Take care, Larry. The one and only Larry

01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:41.380
Hankin, folks. Yes, yes, why yes. Go check out

01:46:41.380 --> 01:46:47.079
those books, folks. Yes. We've read, I've read

01:46:47.079 --> 01:46:48.859
some excerpts from him. That guy is really cool.

01:46:49.340 --> 01:46:51.539
Gets into a lot of his, you know, career and

01:46:51.539 --> 01:46:53.920
stuff like that. All his iconic roles that, you

01:46:53.920 --> 01:46:55.640
know, we were going over earlier. Billy Madison,

01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:58.720
Home Alone. uh planes trains on all because i

01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:01.340
mean he's been in everything i mean breaking

01:47:01.340 --> 01:47:03.880
bad and el camino i forgot he was in el camino

01:47:03.880 --> 01:47:06.060
the the follow -up movie to breaking bad i was

01:47:06.060 --> 01:47:09.880
like damn yeah and not and not because he was

01:47:09.880 --> 01:47:12.039
on here but he really is like a steen sealer

01:47:12.039 --> 01:47:14.920
like a scene stealer every like movie he's in

01:47:14.920 --> 01:47:18.739
or or tv role he's in he kind of steals the steals

01:47:18.739 --> 01:47:22.699
the show which is kind of cool um i did have

01:47:22.699 --> 01:47:24.939
a bunch more for the show uh for the people for

01:47:24.939 --> 01:47:27.840
our audience but uh My bladder is full because

01:47:27.840 --> 01:47:29.720
we ran along there. What's up, Bobby? Yeah, we're

01:47:29.720 --> 01:47:32.680
at 1147. What's going on? Yes, sir. That was

01:47:32.680 --> 01:47:36.119
great, man. I'll tell you, some really interesting

01:47:36.119 --> 01:47:40.520
stories. Wow. The one and only Larry. Are you

01:47:40.520 --> 01:47:44.119
serious about the Home Alone 4 thing? Yes and

01:47:44.119 --> 01:47:46.020
no. Just make that up. I kind of made it up.

01:47:46.140 --> 01:47:47.720
I heard about it, but I don't think it's going

01:47:47.720 --> 01:47:49.600
to happen. Well, there is a Home Alone 4. I looked

01:47:49.600 --> 01:47:51.659
it up. There is a Home Alone 4, but maybe they're

01:47:51.659 --> 01:47:53.640
making Home Alone 5 or 6 or something. I don't

01:47:53.640 --> 01:47:56.270
know. Yeah, I saw one of those. I think it was

01:47:56.270 --> 01:47:58.470
a meme thing where it's like Home Alone 4, and

01:47:58.470 --> 01:48:01.010
then I just kind of came up with a little backstory

01:48:01.010 --> 01:48:03.430
for it. It'll be kind of like the sequel to Christmas

01:48:03.430 --> 01:48:06.909
Story where the main character's now grown. Yeah.

01:48:07.149 --> 01:48:10.210
His son's new. That would be a cool concept if

01:48:10.210 --> 01:48:12.890
it's real. Such a great episode that was, man.

01:48:13.050 --> 01:48:17.460
Larry's a man. Look how stoned Bobby got during

01:48:17.460 --> 01:48:21.399
the show, Chad. He started off the show. Now

01:48:21.399 --> 01:48:22.800
his eyes are open. I was going to say, when we

01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:25.460
first started the show, his eyes were there,

01:48:25.539 --> 01:48:28.539
and then all of a sudden. Bobby, anything for

01:48:28.539 --> 01:48:33.359
Bobby's world? I want to show one show that just

01:48:33.359 --> 01:48:38.279
came out on Apple TV. It's called Pluribus. Here's

01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:43.300
the scene from that. Bobby's going to show us

01:48:43.300 --> 01:48:48.359
a scene from Pluribus, a new Apple TV show. I

01:48:48.359 --> 01:48:50.319
have no idea what it's about, but he was kind

01:48:50.319 --> 01:48:53.039
of, I think something to do with aliens. Add

01:48:53.039 --> 01:48:58.579
this right here. Yeah. Yep. There we go. What

01:48:58.579 --> 01:49:03.460
about a bazooka? What about a tank? Oh, sure.

01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:15.439
in that part too and they say they have to give

01:49:15.439 --> 01:49:21.619
it they took over like the whole the whole world

01:49:21.619 --> 01:49:25.340
and the 86 000 people died in the process of

01:49:25.340 --> 01:49:27.380
it and she's you know she's one of them spoiler

01:49:27.380 --> 01:49:30.359
alert do we have to do that for any of this no

01:49:30.359 --> 01:49:32.739
because it's already it's been uh it's pretty

01:49:32.739 --> 01:49:37.199
much out there better call saul too Yeah, yeah,

01:49:37.260 --> 01:49:40.300
yeah. She's from Better. She does great in the

01:49:40.300 --> 01:49:43.819
show. I watched four episodes of it so far. And

01:49:43.819 --> 01:49:46.500
as far as TV is concerned, there's been shit

01:49:46.500 --> 01:49:51.520
on TV. So, like, Stranger Things, this, and the

01:49:51.520 --> 01:49:54.840
show I showed last week, Begonia, have been pretty

01:49:54.840 --> 01:50:00.420
good shows. Rock on. Plurry bus, folks. You heard

01:50:00.420 --> 01:50:02.619

01:50:04.640 --> 01:50:08.359
yet, but... we'll take his recommendation apple

01:50:08.359 --> 01:50:12.100
tv does a lot of good um shows severance severance

01:50:12.100 --> 01:50:14.079
was another good show they did that's good yeah

01:50:14.079 --> 01:50:16.279
i've never gotten apple tv i just gotta do that

01:50:16.279 --> 01:50:20.100
someday well ted lasso was on that right yeah

01:50:20.100 --> 01:50:22.859
ted lasso severance is cool like i watched the

01:50:22.859 --> 01:50:26.619
first uh season of it but i got like seven episodes

01:50:26.619 --> 01:50:28.939
in and you're still like what the fuck is going

01:50:28.939 --> 01:50:32.220
on why are they like what's the point of it and

01:50:32.220 --> 01:50:35.970
i guess i like selves off every time they leave

01:50:35.970 --> 01:50:39.010
you know their whole work life is separate from

01:50:39.010 --> 01:50:42.189
their life except no i understand you know yeah

01:50:42.189 --> 01:50:46.170
i was just wondering what the point was i think

01:50:46.170 --> 01:50:51.489
it shows how like people can be so like separate

01:50:51.489 --> 01:50:54.390
you know separate like uh personalities you know

01:50:54.390 --> 01:50:57.909
personality disorders you know yeah yeah showing

01:50:57.909 --> 01:51:02.470
that aspect of things A lot of shows that come

01:51:02.470 --> 01:51:04.789
out with a lot of truth. I'll tell you that.

01:51:05.449 --> 01:51:09.710
It's showing people what's going on. Yeah, preemptively.

01:51:10.310 --> 01:51:12.770
Predictive programming. There you go. That's

01:51:12.770 --> 01:51:16.489

I found at UCLA the world's most wanted because

01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:01.859
they don't know medical and were trying to steal

01:53:01.859 --> 01:53:04.220
everything, including the famous medical center.

01:53:04.520 --> 01:53:07.239
I found all these fake doctors because they don't

01:53:07.239 --> 01:53:11.100
know a damn thing about medical and when they

01:53:11.100 --> 01:53:13.880
were once good. I took it from there. It leads

01:53:13.880 --> 01:53:17.779
to COVID. COVID was all about land grabs, commercial

01:53:17.779 --> 01:53:21.210
real estate. All one has to do is violate the

01:53:21.210 --> 01:53:23.850
Medical Privacy Act, HIPAA, and they have everyone's

01:53:23.850 --> 01:53:26.829
medical records. It's so many felonies. They

01:53:26.829 --> 01:53:29.590
are in everything, including travel. They use

01:53:29.590 --> 01:53:33.289
airline itineraries to stalk anyone who is anyone.

01:53:33.569 --> 01:53:36.710
I found one to try and even fake his death because

01:53:36.710 --> 01:53:38.529
he's a criminal and wanted to steal someone's

01:53:38.529 --> 01:53:40.789
identity and took out life insurance at every

01:53:40.789 --> 01:53:42.789
global corporation he worked for, as well as

01:53:42.789 --> 01:53:45.250
steal information. Chad Gray's here. Uh, Karenza,

01:53:45.310 --> 01:53:47.920
that's a lot. Uh, and maybe you need to come

01:53:47.920 --> 01:53:51.140
on as a guest and explain that, uh, thing. Cause

01:53:51.140 --> 01:53:52.880
I was reading some of it. I'm like, Oh, maybe

01:53:52.880 --> 01:53:54.920
I can draw some parallels here and some conclusions

01:53:54.920 --> 01:53:57.739
there, but it's a lot for that little thing.

01:53:58.600 --> 01:54:02.180
Um, and yeah, maybe you want to come on and be

01:54:02.180 --> 01:54:03.659
a guest one day. Cause you put a lot of, uh,

01:54:03.760 --> 01:54:07.939
a lot of cool stuff in the chat. Um, so something

01:54:07.939 --> 01:54:09.859
to unpack there, Mr. Gracie, any of that makes

01:54:09.859 --> 01:54:15.970
sense to you or, um, I don't know. She kind of

01:54:15.970 --> 01:54:17.609
got into like, I don't know what she's talking

01:54:17.609 --> 01:54:19.510
about. The, the throwing covers painting being

01:54:19.510 --> 01:54:21.210
stolen. We have one in the building and then

01:54:21.210 --> 01:54:22.890
the other ones are owned by a private collector

01:54:22.890 --> 01:54:25.229
in Europe. So I don't know. Was that one stolen?

01:54:25.350 --> 01:54:29.149
Cause the one in York is not stolen. Right. That's

01:54:29.149 --> 01:54:32.949
what I was wondering. And, uh, yeah, they use

01:54:32.949 --> 01:54:36.909
your from South. And then she says, uh, Jared,

01:54:36.989 --> 01:54:38.609
Jared is very unique. Yeah. He's unique. All

01:54:38.609 --> 01:54:41.460
right. Oh, Jared, let us. Doesn't he have a fucking

01:54:41.460 --> 01:54:45.260
island where he brings, like, female basically

01:54:45.260 --> 01:54:47.399
worshippers to come and, like, just hang out

01:54:47.399 --> 01:54:49.760
with him on this freaking island somewhere? Really?

01:54:50.460 --> 01:54:54.340
I believe so. Yes. And they pay to, like, come

01:54:54.340 --> 01:54:58.819
and hang out with him. Wow. So he's actually

01:54:58.819 --> 01:55:01.100
getting people to pay themselves to get traffic

01:55:01.100 --> 01:55:03.560
to go to his island. Yes, basically. He's that

01:55:03.560 --> 01:55:08.260
cool. Yeah. Wow. God bless, man. To each their

01:55:08.260 --> 01:55:13.840
own. Allegedly. Allegedly, exactly. Just to put

01:55:13.840 --> 01:55:16.500
what she said up there, did you guys notice everyone

01:55:16.500 --> 01:55:18.399
has been in lawsuits since the highly publicized

01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:20.579
lawsuit of $30 million to 30 Seconds of Mars?

01:55:20.739 --> 01:55:23.239
I met and worked with 30 Seconds of Mars several

01:55:23.239 --> 01:55:25.699
times. They're all very sweet. They are also

01:55:25.699 --> 01:55:29.560
victims. Yeah, Corenza, you definitely need to

01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:32.359
come on as a guest. You seem to have a lot of

01:55:32.359 --> 01:55:34.159
knowledge and hanging out with some cool people.

01:55:34.500 --> 01:55:39.029
So if you're ever down to clown. send me a dm

01:55:39.029 --> 01:55:42.649
send me a dm oh yeah and this is another thing

01:55:42.649 --> 01:55:44.069
chad she was talking about she's saying she bought

01:55:44.069 --> 01:55:47.510
a gold record from live and yeah we saw him on

01:55:47.510 --> 01:55:50.609
the website for a while yeah we would sell gold

01:55:50.609 --> 01:55:54.989
records um that were certified by the ra ri dole

01:55:54.989 --> 01:55:58.569

01:55:58.569 --> 01:56:02.029

know i was trying to i'm not sure about that

01:56:04.439 --> 01:56:07.460
I was trying to pay attention to Larry when she

01:56:07.460 --> 01:56:09.579
was typing all this stuff. But, Karenza, yeah,

01:56:09.619 --> 01:56:12.439
maybe put all this stuff in a nice little DM

01:56:12.439 --> 01:56:14.680
for me and we'll dissect it. And if you ever

01:56:14.680 --> 01:56:17.800

sure everyone's out there buying stuff for everybody

01:56:36.270 --> 01:56:40.350
we didn't talk about any political stuff this

01:56:40.350 --> 01:56:45.310
week again dude well hey it's all right yes so

01:56:45.310 --> 01:56:47.409
that's what i mean one thing we did talk about

01:56:47.409 --> 01:56:49.329
at the beginning was you know the the left and

01:56:49.329 --> 01:56:50.949
now the media are making this big deal about

01:56:50.949 --> 01:56:53.430
about the administration taking out all the drug

01:56:53.430 --> 01:56:56.670
boats and the latest The latest bullshit is that,

01:56:56.710 --> 01:56:58.829
oh, there were two survivors in the water and

01:56:58.829 --> 01:57:00.829
they missiled them and blah, blah, blah. Anonymous

01:57:00.829 --> 01:57:04.050
source said so. It's like anonymous source. That's

01:57:04.050 --> 01:57:06.850
always the go -to. I mean, they still do the

01:57:06.850 --> 01:57:09.409
same fucking playbook. Anonymous source said

01:57:09.409 --> 01:57:12.289
that this happened. They're like, one, it's not

01:57:12.289 --> 01:57:15.250
even provable. Two, even if it did happen, why

01:57:15.250 --> 01:57:18.960
do you care so much? Right. Only you don't you

01:57:18.960 --> 01:57:20.720
don't actually care about the human beings involved.

01:57:20.840 --> 01:57:23.479
You care about resisting Trump and trying to

01:57:23.479 --> 01:57:25.140
make him look bad. That's all you care about.

01:57:25.420 --> 01:57:27.800
That's the only reason you talk about it. Period.

01:57:28.060 --> 01:57:30.960
You don't stop with the fake humanity and like,

01:57:31.039 --> 01:57:32.920
oh, we care about these drug dealer pieces of

01:57:32.920 --> 01:57:34.500
shit that are trying to bring fentanyl into our

01:57:34.500 --> 01:57:37.060
country and kill our own citizens. They will

01:57:37.060 --> 01:57:39.840
always, always, always side with the enemy, no

01:57:39.840 --> 01:57:42.619
matter whoever the enemy is. That's who the Dems

01:57:42.619 --> 01:57:46.220
side with. Yeah. Well, this anonymous source.

01:57:46.989 --> 01:57:48.710
This anonymous source, like they're doing this

01:57:48.710 --> 01:57:50.890
in the middle of the ocean. Where was this source

01:57:50.890 --> 01:57:55.050
located to see? Well, apparently it was a DOD

01:57:55.050 --> 01:57:58.609
anonymous source that saw the film. Oh, gotcha.

01:57:58.670 --> 01:58:00.770
Because they release this footage periodically

01:58:00.770 --> 01:58:03.289
of a boat getting taken out. Yeah. Who knows

01:58:03.289 --> 01:58:06.350
if it even actually happened? Probably not. And

01:58:06.350 --> 01:58:10.630
everything that I see is the boat is blown to

01:58:10.630 --> 01:58:13.289
smithereens. I mean, if anybody's surviving that,

01:58:13.489 --> 01:58:18.930
you better have. some kind of special powers.

01:58:18.989 --> 01:58:22.210
My whole point is stop with the fake moral outrage

01:58:22.210 --> 01:58:25.770
about the drug trafficking human beings involved.

01:58:25.970 --> 01:58:28.270
You don't actually care about that. All you care

01:58:28.270 --> 01:58:30.529
about is trying to get Trump. That's it. That's

01:58:30.529 --> 01:58:32.130
all you care about. And the administration. That's

01:58:32.130 --> 01:58:35.229
all you give a fuck. Stop with your fake moral

01:58:35.229 --> 01:58:40.130
outrage. Sick of it. 100%. Yeah, starting to

01:58:40.130 --> 01:58:42.270
get annoying. But we're going to set this up.

01:58:42.350 --> 01:58:44.250
So like we said earlier, Chad and I have been

01:58:44.250 --> 01:58:45.729
spoken. We might make this show a little bit

01:58:45.729 --> 01:58:48.069
longer. We might take a bathroom break in between

01:58:48.069 --> 01:58:50.869
this week. We're kind of not set up for it, but

01:58:50.869 --> 01:58:53.029
get ready for some more content from the gracious

01:58:53.029 --> 01:58:56.409
too. We are expanding. We are reaching larger

01:58:56.409 --> 01:59:00.430
audiences. We are still technically part of the

01:59:00.430 --> 01:59:02.390
voice of people network. We'll see how long that

01:59:02.390 --> 01:59:04.829
continues or if we're looking for a new network.

01:59:04.989 --> 01:59:08.140
