Speaker 4: Because Tristan Thompson.

00:00:31
Speaker 2: Right, I've really gotten it ever since freshman year at the University of Texas because he played ball there, and so like I've just I've got it NonStop, like just like ever since. And the funniest story I have is I was doing this film Sweet Dreams. It's directed by Live Stark and had like THEO and Bobby and Giant Knoxville and all those boys, and Gata from Day was in like the chailer right next to me. And I remember Gata was like he was he was like, oh shit, so you're Tristan tom saying, and I was like, god yeah, and He's like, man, I call my manager, bro. I thought it was fucking He was like, I thought it was a real Tristan tom saying and I was like, nah, dude, I'm white and five eleven.

00:01:21
Speaker 3: Know.

00:01:21
Speaker 2: He's like, no, it's cool now, I know it's you. I was like, mad love, mad love. That was hilarious. But shout out to Gata man, he's a man.

00:01:28
Speaker 5: What fun cast?

00:01:30
Speaker 6: Seriously, when when was that?

00:01:31
Speaker 2: What year was that? So I think we shot that in like twenty three, but it came out in twenty four?

00:01:38
Speaker 6: Got you?

00:01:39
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:01:39
Speaker 6: Yeah, so two years ago? Was that your first big it was?

00:01:44
Speaker 2: It was crazy man.

00:01:46
Speaker 1: To give a little context to Trician is an actor, Tristan lives in California. Tristan is visiting Nashville right now, hanging out with the fellows. So we're gonna dive into a little bit of what it is like to be in the life of an actor, and because that we're on the other side of the camera and obviously we do a different kind of production. But I'm very interested to hear the ins and out. So now that you guys have the full context.

00:02:08
Speaker 6: I'm like, so, yeah, just Tristan Thompson also lives in LA I think.

00:02:13
Speaker 2: Yes, I bet.

00:02:16
Speaker 5: You could call and get reservations at place and they'd be like clear clear.

00:02:20
Speaker 2: Oh yo, dude, Okay. So one time, uh me and uh me and my ex girlfriend were going to this uh what you we call it. We're going to Carusos down in Santa Barbara. It's just like nice kind of restaurant. And uh I walk up. I was like, hey, reservation for Tristan Thompson, right, and I just remember she's the hostess, looks at me and just like the fear in her eyes, like her heart just dropped. She's uh one second police and then she radios in, like walks away a few steps radios in.

00:02:50
Speaker 4: Did you know what was going down at this point?

00:02:52
Speaker 2: I kind of was like, yeah, yeah, I see, I see. I see people flying out the back of the restaurant to like move like like just like just like this one table that was in like the dead center of his place. She's thought he's gonna be there with like Klay Kardashian. So like I see people just like flying around moving. But and I just remember sitting there. We were both just like laughing about it, and it's like, ah, yeah, you know it's different, a little surprise, and you see like this little California.

00:03:18
Speaker 4: White Kid's gonna be twenty minutes.

00:03:20
Speaker 2: Actually, now that's actually sorry, we're all full. I knew you had a reservation, but yeah, no, no, no chance.

00:03:28
Speaker 5: But yeah, back to JP's question, Sweet Dreams, was that your first like big project that you got to work on and be a part of.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: So the first big projects I had gotten to work on was this movie called Deltopia, which Deltopia is this party at a U see Santa Barbara that I think still happens, but I think in like twenty eleven, the directors went there and there's like this huge like Project X type of like Swat team was involved, like college kids. It's like just like throwing beers at the police and shit, and there's like clips of it on YouTube where you like see it, and it's like it's like still like filmed on like an LG Chocolate or some shit. Dude, right phone, yeah, right, shout out to the LGA Chocolates. But and that was the first monologue I had where that was like in like a SAG project and having like the craziest thing. I think that as like if you're like talking about like the acting experience, it's like I'm sure being behind production is just how fucking quiet it is. Like I was sitting there and I was like, okay, cool, Like I've got all my lines memorized, We're good, and then it is fucking dead silent. There's like sixty extras because it's a big party scene. I'm working with like these two like bigger like Netflix like girls that are in the car and I'd met them earlier and they're super sweet by like the director Mikey just the absolute homie because that's Me's like, hey, so just messing with you, but you're righty for the biggest moment of your life. And I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get a vomit behind this tree real quick.

00:05:03
Speaker 5: For real. That has to be so nerracking. I mean, like, I don't know if you know, but JP's an actor himself.

00:05:09
Speaker 7: Yeah, I had a monologue, uh monologue that was it was like four words long, but you know, thirty takes.

00:05:17
Speaker 6: Probably do you.

00:05:18
Speaker 3: Want to give it?

00:05:19
Speaker 2: Give it different coverage here, different coverage than give thee my.

00:05:22
Speaker 7: Cousin's good at math mm hmm, oh time. Hopefully your agent or you know, a director may be watching. That's just that that was first try.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: Well, you'll you can see it. I swear you'll notice it probably before you leave Nashville. You might see it if you're watching TV busting. We had a FanDuel commercial that's on all national like sports channels and JP. They're basically just trying to figure out how.

00:05:47
Speaker 4: To cook up a parlay. Yeah, it's a space and JP delivered it.

00:05:51
Speaker 6: Man, I was nervous.

00:05:53
Speaker 7: I was also an extra in a Taraja p Henson movie, only my hairline was in it. It was what Men Want, it was dinner. And the reason my face wasn't in it is because I actually messed up and I was supposed to get up, go to the bathroom whatever, and come back in. And I got up and I'm standing next to, you know, one of I don't know all the terms of everybody behind the scenes, but I'm standing next to one of them and he just looks over.

00:06:16
Speaker 6: He goes, why are you still standing here? I was like, He's like, bro. I was like, do I go now.

00:06:20
Speaker 7: He's like, no, just wait, and he was like, if it would have been in there, you would have you would have seen your face in the movie.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: Walked by, Oh how long was your?

00:06:28
Speaker 8: Like?

00:06:28
Speaker 4: Day on set two for.

00:06:29
Speaker 7: Dude all day, just like ten to twelve hours. And I just and in college, I was doing this thing called Who's that Hairline? Where I'd take a photo of people's hairlines and trail my Snapchat and I'm like, who's that hairline? And so my hairline was in the movie, and so I was kind.

00:06:45
Speaker 6: Of my final episode. Enough about me, No, no, no, no.

00:06:49
Speaker 2: I love hearing about it. It's I think it's to add to like what the theme of what we were talking about earlier is that like you kind of get in there and it's a marathon, right, Like you're you've got your and you've got all a lot of these smaller roles. You've got like ten day or like you're like six hours, like or the worst case, ten hours, Like you're on set. You're there, and then you've got like thirty seconds. You got like thirty seconds to just absolutely do whatever you need to do to just crush it, keep it going. And yeah, and then you just sit there and you're like, dude, I feel like I'm fucking I've been in like a library in college all fucking day and you're like, I'm fucking zonkie. And then you get up there and you're like, what was I supposed to be again?

00:07:33
Speaker 5: Dude, That's what I was about to say. It's like waiting that long does it make it worse? Like do you start doing the whole like unprepared? Oh crap, I can't remember. I was gonna say, Okay, I got it again. How much time do I have? You still got a couple hours? Okay?

00:07:47
Speaker 1: Uh?

00:07:47
Speaker 5: Fuck?

00:07:47
Speaker 2: Fuck?

00:07:48
Speaker 5: Fuck pacing around? Or are you kind of like what are you doing during those long days? Like are you truly just chilling in your trailer?

00:07:55
Speaker 6: Yeah?

00:07:55
Speaker 2: Sometimes I think it depends on I saw this. I was watching this acts around Table where I think it was like child Buff and like a few other like Atom Driver, and they're all just talking about the homework that you have to do before it and how well prepared you are. Because I think it's like in any like fun ish like chill work setting, and it's always kind of a little bit like camp, right, it's really easy to just be like instead of having like, it's really easy just to like fuck around on set, you know what I mean. You can go talk to whoever you want or like you can just kind of like if you're making friends and stuff, it feels like you're at summer camp sometimes. But back to what Shi said, He's like, it's just all about the homework, and you have to come in like depending on how much time you've had to prepare and like how many like hours you've put into this character, and then that's when you're able to like deliver something great while also still kind of like hanging out on set having those like long times where you're just like sitting either in your trailer or like walking around and being able to do that. It's just like in the fucking homework before all the prep that you do, so that way, like you're not sitting there and just being like the going on again, it's just your time to shoot.

00:09:14
Speaker 7: Did you have a stand in? I was just because I don't like when I showed up to the thing. I have no idea how any of making a movie goes. And I'm just seeing these people that are paid to just sit in the seats of the main actors, and I'm like, yeah, would.

00:09:30
Speaker 6: This y'all do this all day? You're getting higher rate than me?

00:09:34
Speaker 4: What is their job?

00:09:35
Speaker 7: Like the sea warm It's like they're just around the same height, same size, so they can get all the camera shots right.

00:09:42
Speaker 4: It's like like just like framing.

00:09:44
Speaker 7: Right, they're keeping the stars likes just like make sure they have as little work to do as possible when they show up.

00:09:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like it's like with it's like a union thing as well, where like you have to like you have like stand ins on the call sheet and like you'll see there like like name is the next to it, and you're just like, damn, that's wild. And yeah, no I remember I I uh I where did I have a stand in? Just look at him? Yeah, we had a stand in, I remember, but like you didn't like look like me or anything. I feel like I've been in the more like still grateful and like moderate low budget like indie film scenes that have like done well and been able to be on like different streaming platforms and stuff and so, but yeah, yeah, you'll have a stand in come in, and sometimes it's someone who's also on set and also like doing something else then also kind of wearing that stand in hat on the call shit too.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: Just a couple of different hands. I was going to go back to like the beginning, and that's what you do. Yeah, how did you get into acting? Were you like a theater kid in high school, Like, what what made you like, Okay, I want to do that. Obviously. Everybody wants to be a movie star. Everybody wants to be time cruising.

00:10:48
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, right, You're like sitting there watching like that Departed when you're like eleven years old, right, and you're sitting there and you're like, Leo, dude, how do you keep doing this? Why are you so cool? You're banging Mark Wahlberg's wife. Yeah. Yeah, And so I think like how I got started, man, was there's this girl in my class who had an acting coach in Houston, and I grew up in Beaumont, Texas, which is about an hour and a half from Houston. You know David Reese, David Reese. Yeah, yeah, I know David.

00:11:21
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know from college.

00:11:23
Speaker 2: Yeah that's why, dude, David, David Reese my cousin. No way, Yeah, yeah, shout out you, David. Shout at you, distant cousin. Like our great great grand it's our great grandmothers are related, and we like found that out in high school. And so yeah, I was. David was a year below me. His older brother William. Shout out to Reese. Absolutely, Jordan, their dad, love you guys.

00:11:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, like talking to Texas is they are plugged in, right, yeah.

00:12:00
Speaker 2: The others Oh yeah, yeah yeah that's I love that though, absolutely.

00:12:04
Speaker 3: So.

00:12:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. So I saw my brother do this drama class and he started going to this coach in Houston. And I saw him like go to like, uh he was in a drama class in high school and uh, this one was about like fifth grade, and I saw him do this like really emotional scene with this other girl in front of like like forty people. It was like an interesting thing where they had like, uh, try to remember what the proper name for it is. It's like taps drama, and like they do like a scene where they're like a couple fighting and like they're like playing pretend and stuff. And but I was like, I started going to this coach in Houston after I saw that, because like, damn, I saw my probably do that looks dope as fuck. That's awesome. So I started going to this coach and then she pointed me to another coach like out in Los Angeles. And my cousins, my gand uncle lived in San Diego. So on the summers, I would go out with this other coach in Los Angeles but I kind of got made fun of when I did theater I in like fifth grade. I was like not everyone was like the fuck are you doing? Like you know Beaumont, Texas man, yeah dude, And I was just yeah, literally no, yeah, literally like yeah, dude calling you like just like just like fuck, You're like, dude, that's fucking so lame, Like why the fuck are you in theater? Like, and I was like in this play Aladdin, and I was just like I'm gonna do this fucking fun dude. Also also this girl have a crush on and doing it too. I was like, I see the world, Yeah, percent right.

00:13:30
Speaker 3: I was.

00:13:33
Speaker 2: Showing me the world please in fifth grade.

00:13:35
Speaker 3: No, so.

00:13:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I started going to classes with her. Her name is Mary Ferguson. She's just this amazing coach that really believes in me. But then I kind of like started going through phases where I was like, no, I'm getting really better at tennis and I'm gonna spend all my time playing tennis. And then I started playing soccer with all the homies and I was just like because my coach was like, you need to move to Los Angeles, like right now, like you can take this as far as you want. And I was like, yeah, but I don't know what about about the boys? What about yeah exactly, like what about state? What about soccer? What about what about smoking weed and hanging out with my friends? You know what I mean? And I was like, I love my friends so much. It's like literally my wallpaper on my phone is like my fucking childhood friends. I love these boys and shout out, shout at Zach Hester, Willhelan, Sean Reed love you and uh but yeah, so I think, like I sorry going when I was going to these classes and then I got like swept up at like ut just like partying, almost flunking out University of Texas. Hook Yeah, and then uh, it took me like a long time to admit to myself what I wanted to do. And I think that that's a lot of people in this life where you have like I remember Steve Jobs said this thing that he's like dreams, I'm in whispers, right, and like they don't come loud, like they come in the back of your head, and like it's just always in the back of my head. I'd be like sitting just like watching something and just being like ah, and I feel like I just if I don't do this, I'm gonna regret it for the rest of my life. And so my sister and I when I was just an absolute idiot freshman year, she helped me figure out just some ways and like some like programs to volunteer for. Then I started working at Austin Film Festival just like boost up the resume, got into the UT Film School and was on like more of the behind the camera stuff and yeah, that's sick.

00:15:38
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I feel you said it. I mean that's the hardest part is putting aside like your friends being like, come on, dude, we don't do that. It's like yeah, but like I kind of really want to do that and try it because it looks fun. Yeah, at the end of the day, like it's fun.

00:15:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think like all all like a lot of careers, and you know, whether it's any industry, whether it's art or anything. I've like kind of recently come to this like new conclusion and I'm sure everyone does. But it's like you just like enter a flow state, right, like whether you're like an accountant who's just a wizard at numbers, and like it's just it's it's finding something that like you feel that you're really great at you believe in yourself and you're able to hit that flow state. And that's where I feel like most at home is in that like zone and that flow state with acting and like being inside of the character and like taking like my imagination and like trying to make it run into this other level of this other thing.

00:16:34
Speaker 6: For sure.

00:16:38
Speaker 4: Anyways, while.

00:16:46
Speaker 2: As a good deeper into the conversation, I'm just going to keep wearing just more ridiculous ship.

00:16:51
Speaker 4: Is there a moment like I don't know.

00:16:53
Speaker 1: I I did a little couple of small time plays in elementary school experience, But at what point do you kind of find a confidence in yourself to be like I can read you know, I can read these lines, and like I can I can believe myself that I'm portraying said character because I feel like it's hard, whether it's your ego or like you know, the limitations of your own self or your self conscious just behavior.

00:17:19
Speaker 4: You're like, I don't know, does that make sense?

00:17:22
Speaker 1: Like did you start believing that you were like I can actually make a living out of this?

00:17:34
Speaker 2: I think, like I think there's a point where so throughout like this time of acting. You know, I'm in classes with some like amazing coaches like Joshua Lebar and Debora Dion and Halee Dion who like have like just like taught me so many things about what you need to do of like what going inside is and like going inside your head and being able to like I don't know, you'll see Westworld, you know when they like cut the brain open, you like see the maze and you're just like, holy shit, I kind of think about it like that a little bit, Like you're like, okay, like how can I like maneuver through this maze? And then in a couple of classes, you like feel progress. You know, like you're in the gym like shooting threes and shit, and like you're not making you know, like five out of ten anymore, you're making like eight out of ten, and then you're making like nine out of ten. Not saying fucking you know, Kobe or anything. I'm just still trying to learn and not saying on Tristan Tomson or anything. But you start feeling everywhere when you're like really taking it seriously and you're in these classes and you're like putting in this work and you're writing like just like a fucking psychopath, writing like three pages of just like notes of just all about what this character does and like who he is and how they feel, what they smell.

00:18:54
Speaker 8: Like.

00:18:54
Speaker 2: I always make a playlist listening to like what I think they would listen to. Like this last movie, I play this character Sean, who's just like only it is just like this very high energy frat kid and he only listens to just like Bob in three six Mafia and like and but and so like getting into like where you like really believe in yourself is in like a couple of those classes and shit and like a couple of the times that you like reach another bar where you get to like play. There's this moment on this movie Prey I did and A shifts on Hanglou if anyone wants to watch it. Yeah, yeah, this movie Prey, I got to work alongside with the legend Emil Hirsh and him and I like have this scene where I take a gun from him and him and I like we're just like like it's just like a very dramatic scene. I'm like screaming and like crying. We're trapped in the desert for like thirty days or whatever, and I remember like from the classes, you're like activating this like feeling. It's just like this feeling inside your head where you're just like kind of like walk away. And then you're like you're done with the scene. Everyone's like kind of like takes a break because it's like really intense, and I like just went and sat down and I remember this like this pa on set came out to me and he just goes, hey, what was your name again? I was like, Hey, Tristan Thompson And I was like, yo, Tristan man, like I'm still just like kind of crying and like shaking, and uh, He's like, idea, how did you get into this? Like I just want to let you know, like that was like really amazing. It was just like this random kid that told me that. And I remember being like, Yo, thank you so much, like that fuck one that means the world too. I was like, damn, like fuck I I've been training for this for like a month and you like feel kind of like that you like left it out out there on the field.

00:20:53
Speaker 5: Valid.

00:20:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you don't even get to see like the work later until like a year. And I don't even love watching myself. But like if once you know that, like you hit that feeling in that flow state, and you like did everything that you could do for the character, you're just like all right, like fucking yeah, I think I think, I think we can make this happen.

00:21:10
Speaker 5: I'm sure in that process too, and you kind of like alluded to it. But when you do set your mind to like, all right, I want to try and do this, and the more you're around like minded people that kind of help you get to that point or help you would practice those skills and those talents and like lock in be able to get into character. Like you said, like staying in that flow state and staying surrounded by those people just help. And so I feel like what you're saying by doing the classes living in LA like you fully are like doing everything possible to put yourself in the world of what you're wanting.

00:21:42
Speaker 2: To do one hundred percent. And I think, like to add on to piggyback, like the being around those like minded people making sure you know everyone in the circle is just like kind of on the same track. I'll just never forget looking at a meal and shout out to fucking a meal, just like because when you're doing your changing your coverage like some usually the other actor doesn't really have to like be there. He can just like someone can like read with you or like give you throwaway lines and like sometimes you're looking at like a fucking piece of tape just like right there. And but he was just giving me everything, dude, Like he was just on the other side, like screaming with me, matching the energy, like lifting me up, and it was just like let's fucking go. And that was just something that also, like you know, like I think the beautiful part about life is that like you bring shit out of each other, you know, you bring like the best out of each other. And that was what was so dope.

00:22:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's cool. For Sweet Dreams, Uh, what like what's the process like for that movie specifically? I guess when it's like okay, do you get script sent to you? Like, how does the process go where you're like, Okay, this job's available, I want to audition for this.

00:22:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, And so I'm very fortunate to like be connected with just like a group of producers who have like kind of like kept me just like around. There was like this dude who just kind of hit me with an email and was like, hey, there's this part, you know, like I want to know if you like want to do this like a little read for it. It's like and basically the part is just like you're playing on this baseball team. There's like a few lines here and there, and especially in like the indie world, I feel like everything's very like everything's happening day of and like you get a script, you read the script, you know, you audition for the role, and then like you get your sides the day before and it could be like different scenes from the different script as like, because it's just like everything's so malleable in that way. But after I got the news, I was like, oh, baseball, Yeah, for sure. I played fucking or select baseball growing up and like travel ball, like all day baseball. You can Pasadena on Sundays. Dude, go d MT Tigers. Baby Yeah, and uh but yeah, And so man Bo Mitchell was in that movie. He's one of like may actor and human being. He was in this movie called The Line on Hulu, which was an incredible film with alex Or nat Wolf. One of those guys, and but he's also the blonde haired kid and he's found him down and uh, just what's up. No, you're good, you're good.

00:24:19
Speaker 8: The first scene where Danny McBride goes, uh, they're talking about you named your daughter Rose, you know, wouldn't name this kid Shrek and.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah that's Bo. That's Bo. And man, like, I learned a lot about just like I learned so much just about like comedic timing because you're like it's like there's you know, you're working with these superstars, right, and like these guys are just like they I'll turn it off, man like, they're just it's it's just so natural. And I know y'all have all met, like you know, just a lot of those guys in the Hemisphere and the same dudes too, and that, like and you're sitting there and like someone will like make joke at you, like in character, and then I remember just being like yeah, and your mom's fucking fat, and then I was like, fuck, I'm like twenty seconds too late and no, And so it helped me learn so much more about comedy and just ship like that where like you like want to it's like giving yourself permission to like have fun and like being able to like have that banter and have that like timing and ship.

00:25:25
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

00:25:28
Speaker 2: Johnny Knoxville, you know, dude, Johnny or the man so on our team, Uh Johnny, like you know, everyone's like kind of warming up throwing the ball around, and uh, Johnny just always walk up and be like, hey, tee, let's go throw the ball. And I'd be like, fuck, hell yees, dude, and uh and so yeah, dude, so you just like go down the line, like past first base while all the cameras getting set up and we're all on set, and uh, dude, we just throw the ball and hang out and just talk about like we just talked about high school baseball and just playing high school baseball and like what and like because he he was a pitcher and played a lot of baseball growing up and uh, and we were just talking about like just like the different games that we remembered. I remember, I was like, yeah, I like when we played this school in Houston where Craig Video's son was playing, and I'll never forget this. Dude was just throwing fucking nasty curveballs and we were just exchanging stories like that and yeah that's.

00:26:28
Speaker 6: That's who had the better stories, who was the better player, dude?

00:26:31
Speaker 2: Johnny and Johnny was kind of a beast. A beast. But actually going back to the acting thing of like what it was like to prepare for certain roles. I just watching Johnny because he had a lot of emotional scenes and in the movie he crushes it and he uh goes deeper into like he just starts walking around. He's got headphones in and he's just like doing his pace. And he said he was in like a competition with his wife, so like you can get the most steps on like their fitbit or an Apple watch or whatever. And but like before emotional scenes, he would just like you just go to take like twenty minutes and just like just lock into whatever he was listening to and just kind of like go be in his own zone. And because going back to like how sets like a camp, right, you can just it's so easy, but like you have to when you have something intense and emotional, like I think in the film he uh he's trying to get like custody back of his daughter and he uh like and it's like a very intense moment like that where he sees her at this baseball game, and uh, he has to like and so he's just walking off house in there, and I was like, yeah, that's how you that's that's how you do it. Yeah. Yeah, you gotta go just go be in your own little world for a little bit, like you like cause it's like a otherwise you're a child actor that just can just snap into character like that. But yeah, man, movies, like.

00:27:54
Speaker 4: For instance right here, does it help her or does it even matter if you play, like have pre experience in baseball?

00:28:01
Speaker 1: Like for actors, like there's gonna be actors who are like throwing some some poor throws maybe, but does it help your chances getting roles in that or is it more just like oh nice, I like baseball.

00:28:12
Speaker 3: This is cool.

00:28:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it's I think the vetting process, like determining on how big the film is, is always interesting. I think there's like so just I think the casting directors, right, we'll find like like a lot of our team were extras and then me and Bo and this other girl Kelly shout out Kelly, she let me use her softball glove love you, And a lot of these casting directors are just like, hey, do you have any experience? You do great? All right, and then like you look great for the part you're in and at least as extras go, and but like the vetting process is more just kind of like over email and be like what's your experience. That's your experience, all right, cool, Like we're trying to they have like so much other stuff to worry about, and just like hope that you come to say that correct word.

00:29:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm watching Friday Night Lights right now, and like the actor that plays Matt Sarason cannot throw football, especially for the Dylan Panthers. It's like, what is happening right now?

00:29:11
Speaker 5: So I'm like, it's piss and he knows the outcome.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like this you're telling me this guy just threw a ball seventy yards and he throws it like that. Yeah my ass, dude. So like that is a great question because I'm like some of these people like they're they're not athletic at all, and like they got these jobs, but like they there's so much other shit that they're worried about.

00:29:29
Speaker 2: Then yeah, one hundred and then like the kind of have to come up there, and like I was like, I'm sure like putting on like a director's hat, you have to be like cool, cool, cool, Well, we're here on set and money is burning, so how can we work around this shit? Like and but like, yeah, man, that's like the part of that's like the part of it that's when you see a lot of close ups.

00:29:48
Speaker 5: And yeah, true.

00:29:49
Speaker 2: But uh no, there's this one moment in the in the movie. I remember I called my old baseball coach shout out Jimmy Neil, and I was talking to him about it, and uh, Johnny, I'm giving him so slow pitch, but like warming up for the role. I'm like, in my room, We've got like a stuffed like Pokemon ball. I'm just like throwing it at a law dude, just practicing the farm. And but it turns out to be slow pitch, so you gotta throw that ship up in the air. And uh but Johnny just fucking hits a line drive like just like sixty miles an hour right at my head, and I just I duck, and I duck, and I was like, that was the coolest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I was like, I just duck that ship, and I called my baseball coach. He goes, nah, that's he is. It would have been way cooler if you caught it. But the worst part about it is I remember the director came out. He's like he's like, hey, h he was like cameras weren't rolling and like someone just got chewed out.

00:30:43
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what is like the shooting out process?

00:30:49
Speaker 2: Like how does that if you would say, you know, I would I would never like whenever like like like someone like got chewed out. It's more just being like, hey, it's a lock it in. Yeah, it's not like what the yeah, I think like with different sets, it's like especially like you know, I think it's more about how like you like treat people like I think everyone there it's like long days. Everyone wants to be treated fine, and if like you make a few mistakes here and there. It's not like that viral Tom Cruise clip during COVID when it was just like just like these are people's jobs.

00:31:27
Speaker 7: You might have missed an audition opportunity. He might have hit that ball back at you to see if you could be a jackass.

00:31:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, right. Take one, dude, did he start this is like they agreed.

00:31:41
Speaker 7: A minor question in the Giant Oxide world. Did he just immediately start calling you t or did it work from Tristan.

00:31:48
Speaker 2: I think it just worked. It was like I think it's just I don't even remember. It is a long time ago too, and so I think I think it's like we had like one we had a scene together where him and I are talking to you each other and then yeah it was cool man, and like we met it like we did the blocking, met each other at like six am, and then like go back earth lines, come back out, rip it and uh but no, he was an absolute homie. Like usually, like I was saying earlier, you don't have to stand there for lines like and someone else can feed him to you. But now he was there just holding it down. And uh it's like when you're leading the movie too, you know you want to like help everyone out that you can.

00:32:27
Speaker 5: For sure because it was his, it's his product, like it was his project, right, yeah.

00:32:30
Speaker 2: So it's uh live Sarki is a director and like very involved in the like sober community, like out there in Los Angeles, and so all these comedians are like living in sober home and uh so Johnny is yeah, yeah yeah, and so they're all in rehab right and like you know, trying to get their lives together and whatnot, and all just some like wacky funny character.

00:32:55
Speaker 5: There are some funny moments in that house with them. I mean, the group of people they picked for that movie is so funny.

00:33:03
Speaker 2: No, absolutely, man, it's just like it's a fucking blasting to work with all those guys. Dude, there's.

00:33:10
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, you were here last week running lines. You don't have to say, what's for whatever, But it was pretty cool to walk in over there and just see you locked in. You even gave me like a cool if we catch up after I do this, and I was like, oh, my guy is locked in, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem. I like got nervous to like make eye contact. I was like staying there.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: I went over and said that, and he's like, hey, just for context, I'm better lock in. It's gonna be super dark real quick, like yeah, and I'm like, I'm gonna I'm gonna head. I'm let you do your things so hyped, so nice.

00:33:44
Speaker 2: And I was like, however, I was like, if you like to see me just like, I'm like, because I'm playing like just like a kid that I actually can't even really talk about it, playing like a really sad kid. And that's just like been through a lot, and it just it's like really just like dark and like cold, and it's like so funny being on the set over there, well like looking around and like still trying to like be in that moment with like different distractions around.

00:34:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing serious emotion detector.

00:34:13
Speaker 1: We will throw an a reference d in here. We could not find the iPhone mount I made the credit Jimmy rigged. It was five boxes stacked on a ladder with a fucking it's amazing what a little like thumbtacks, thumbtacks.

00:34:29
Speaker 4: Like ten across and ten back to keep the iPhone set up on this box.

00:34:33
Speaker 1: And it was working for a minute, and I'm reading the lines back to Tristan and then on like I don't know, probably like thirty forty five minutes in.

00:34:40
Speaker 4: You can just I can just see the phone just slowly going and I've finally we found it. But I'm like, I'm fucking his process.

00:34:48
Speaker 6: Up the whole, right, Yeah, you're costing him the role.

00:34:50
Speaker 1: And then and then like you look behind it, it's like Fandal like Halloween gobblin like, but he handled like a true professional.

00:35:00
Speaker 2: I have done way worse for Lass.

00:35:02
Speaker 5: That is shocking too, because you were saying that some people will, uh will tell you just just film it on an iPhone, like don't.

00:35:08
Speaker 4: I was ready the time thirties.

00:35:10
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, do come to the studio and he's like, yeah, we just need to try on an iPhone. It says like specifically four iPhone.

00:35:15
Speaker 4: I was beyond, like we don't have the iPhone.

00:35:20
Speaker 5: Out right now.

00:35:21
Speaker 2: On on some of the websites that you submit your audition for that like your agent shoots you through, then like the format of it can be a little messed up or it won't be compatible. And so usually typically casting like a directorial ask for like if they want it specifically like on an iPhone, they'll they'll say it. But usually if you go to like a recording studio and you have some ship like this or fucking like a Canon sixty or whatever and like shooting it, yeah, yeah, that's crazy.

00:35:49
Speaker 1: Did did you ever want to like have aspirations to do other things outside of acting?

00:35:54
Speaker 4: Like was.

00:35:56
Speaker 1: Like, I know that you've had other ventures, but I like, what did you want to do if it wasn't acting?

00:36:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think like, uh, I worked in Like that's always say like when you're like I worked in fashion for a while. Yeah, I only have yard and I think, like, uh for that for a long time was I was like damn if I could like just keep designing merch for different artists. And that was something I really really enjoyed, was design it like going into like someone's head right like you see, uh uh He's a big good example. Like I'm just thinking of different artists that I funk with right now, like Kenny Mason. He's just like this dope rapper from Atlanta and uh, he like blends like alternative rock and he blends the rap as well, and he does it really well. And just like designing artists for or designing merchandise for like different artists. And then I think we're talking about the the Dad podcast hat right where it's like a statement that lives on its own, And that was always something that I absolutely love doing and would love to go back to one day, but I didn't that I don't know, like fucking just being creative. I feel like just like yeah, one hundred percent, just being able to like be at liberty to create with friends and different people around that like just inspire you and whatever industry that are like fucking I don't know, dude. Sometimes I feel like I take an audur all and I'm like, fuck, dude, I would just kill it in sling and selling insurance or some shit, probably, bro.

00:37:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, when did you move to LA?

00:37:39
Speaker 2: I moved to Los Angeles twenty twenty August during COVID. Yeah, my mom. I was supposed to move in March, but my mom got really sick. She's good, No, she's great, living amazing life, but yeah, she had stage three cancer during COVID or stage two of aarian cancer, and she was very sick. And like during COVID times, you're just like no one knows what the fuck's going on, you know. And so, uh, my sister came back to Austin. Her and I were like living together to like quarantine and go back down on the weekends this here and everything. And but that pushed my whole LA trip back and like my LA moved to LA. Been waiting since like fifth grade to roll and roll out there, and yeah, but that time was like I think really grounded me before going out, Like yeah.

00:38:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, what's what's something that like you know now about living out there that you wish you knew?

00:38:33
Speaker 2: Oh shit, first that's a great question. I think, like, uh, just like what every song always talks about and like every you just hear like all that glitters ain't gold, you know what I mean? Like ever there's there's there's so many it's so fly by night, I think in uh Los Angeles and in New York, where like it's there's just so many. It's it's what's the right way to say, it's like fast coming from where I come from, and just like the way that people talk promises that never happened, like money this, money that. But it's like I think my biggest thing is like take everything that everyone says with the grain of salt, because like unless they're operating at like a certain level that you is verified valid that you know, then it's just like yeah, don't don't chase that dragon.

00:39:27
Speaker 5: Yeah makes sense for sure.

00:39:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, what about a dream dream scenario dream world co star?

00:39:34
Speaker 2: Oh dude, I think if I could work with Jake Jillenhall. And I think I watched Donny Darko for the first time. I know, like it's Saloween so and I was watching these Donny Darko memes Whereas like it's like the film bro that just wants to tell is like fucking like Riyah crush all about Donnie Darko and you're just like you're like Jesus, dude, It's like you just get high ones and all you can talk about is Donny dark Oh. But I watched that film at my my brothers how a sleepover, and I like hid behind a bunch of these stuffed animals where I was like covered in them, playing on one Nintendo DS for like an hour because I wanted to watch the movie. And I knew they were like I had a rated R movie because like their friend brought the DVD and I saw the DVD and I was like, damn, this shit looks sick. And I literally like and they're all like on the couch. There's like ten of them and all their friends. I'm like behind them at like eight. I'm just like so he starts to poke my head out like rid his like head over heel starts playing in the movie, and I was like I just remember just being like damn, this is this is it?

00:40:44
Speaker 1: This is it.

00:40:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear the Tears for Fears and you're just like, yeah, no, I'm not Pokemon Yellow anymore.

00:40:54
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:40:56
Speaker 2: I think Logan Lerman and don't O'Brian are absolute homie, like just really great. I think Tessa Thompson is an actress. She I did this project on no relation, right, no, no, no no relation. I think I would love David Reese, love you, bro, And uh, she's an amazing actress that's in this. You'll know, I don't know, Like we'll spit some game real quick. Janelle Monnet this dope artist. She was in Knives the Knives Out Too with Dan Cragg.

00:41:27
Speaker 4: Uh.

00:41:28
Speaker 2: So she has this forty five minute music video called Dirty Computer and it is a full production is so sick, and Tessa Thompson stars in it, and Testa is also like a bunch of other ship. But she is someone that I think is like one of the sickest actors out there.

00:41:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta watch that. What's it called.

00:41:46
Speaker 2: It's called Dirty Computer. It's on YouTube's sick.

00:41:49
Speaker 3: I gotta look at I know I know people's faces, but I don't know people's same. She's the grown creede.

00:41:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michael Jordan's Yeah, she can say yeah ibsolutely.

00:42:00
Speaker 3: I was like, I know that name, but I can't put a face to it.

00:42:02
Speaker 5: So Michigan sing, oh yeah, I have seen it how much you set it up, I can't sing either. We might have to do this.

00:42:12
Speaker 6: Yeah have you seen that? Are you on TikTok?

00:42:15
Speaker 2: Yeah? A little bit. I I kind of gave it up like sometimes I was. I think I reached like a point like last year where I was like, let's just have let's just have one feed to look at it right now, just so I don't like just like have a psychotic break.

00:42:32
Speaker 6: What was your feed of choice?

00:42:34
Speaker 8: Uh?

00:42:34
Speaker 2: Instagram? Right now? Real started getting better TikTok's algorithm. I remember like twenty twenty four. I was like, I was like, I don't even know what's going on anymore.

00:42:41
Speaker 6: They just added the shops.

00:42:43
Speaker 2: Real it started going.

00:42:45
Speaker 4: There's no ads like TikTok. There's an ad every four though.

00:42:54
Speaker 2: Kind of ads are we talking about? We're talking about all.

00:42:58
Speaker 7: The truly, all the ads I have are just TikTok shop ones, and it's just like magic tricks, and it's like, right now, it's the smoke that you rub on your hand.

00:43:06
Speaker 2: I want that.

00:43:07
Speaker 7: But this trend with that we were talking about is basically a bunch of corporate people are setting up their phone and they're like seeing if I have a hidden talent so I can quit my day job and then you start here and stay with me play and they just try to karaoke it and obviously barely anybody can sing, and we bring it up and missus like, I've been told I can sing, and we're kind of waiting to do the trend.

00:43:30
Speaker 3: So I didn't know, you know, I mean, I'm down to do it. It's just whether or not I'm on the spots tough.

00:43:39
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta go, you gotta you gotta hit the shower like rub one out, getting the zone and then just be like sow.

00:43:54
Speaker 3: In the shower. I can sing anything.

00:43:58
Speaker 6: You need that you need.

00:43:59
Speaker 2: The was not heartbreak to where you're just like where you're just like you're sitting there and you're.

00:44:03
Speaker 6: Just like, damn, I guess it is true.

00:44:06
Speaker 5: I'm not good at a one.

00:44:09
Speaker 2: Piece of ship and you're never gonna stay with me.

00:44:14
Speaker 6: What your process is?

00:44:15
Speaker 5: I guess that might be it Johnny drama process. Yeah, yeah, no, rubbling out in the trailer.

00:44:21
Speaker 2: It's just like, oh god, I.

00:44:25
Speaker 1: Feel like this is like not a fair question to anyone, whether you're an actor account whatever.

00:44:29
Speaker 4: What is your favorite movie?

00:44:32
Speaker 3: Oh man?

00:44:33
Speaker 4: It like there's multiple examples and it can be done.

00:44:36
Speaker 5: Question to the account and be what's your favorite book?

00:44:39
Speaker 6: Like, what's your favorite numbers?

00:44:41
Speaker 5: What's your favorite number?

00:44:46
Speaker 2: God? And please just say like say like say like some weird Fibonacci sequence.

00:44:50
Speaker 1: You can wait till the end because I feel like we're transitional. Last week we had a good conversation on.

00:44:55
Speaker 4: Worst main characters in TV and movie. Was it main character?

00:45:00
Speaker 7: Yeah?

00:45:00
Speaker 2: Do you want to give some examples Baggins and TV or Elijah Wood? Yes, you think he's a bad proto.

00:45:09
Speaker 3: No, not a bad actor character?

00:45:13
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that acting like that character pisces.

00:45:15
Speaker 3: Me off the.

00:45:17
Speaker 6: Dude.

00:45:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, Jesus Christ. When like when like he's just not listening to Sam and just like Gollin is just fucking just on his ass, dude, like constant exactly everything but helping when they're climbing up like part of Mountain Doom and Ship and they're just like on the side and you're just like seeing like Smigel still smiggling around and like and like was like some just leave him be.

00:45:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're talking about I saw one in the somebody commented, so I forget who it was. Shout out whoever you did. Whoever you are ari A Stark from Game of Thrones. She's not necessarily the main character.

00:45:53
Speaker 4: Is she the mini faced god? Like that's Ari the younger one? Oh yeah, yeah, damn, I love you. She was very tough.

00:46:04
Speaker 3: Her story arc was just so weird and like I didn't like when she went to the.

00:46:09
Speaker 6: I don't watch show. A lot of people like her.

00:46:11
Speaker 4: I like her a lot.

00:46:12
Speaker 1: I don't think she was a bads, but she can be very frustrating. I think she just kind of beats her own drum.

00:46:18
Speaker 3: And she's young, but like just her story arc is what kind of annoyed me, Like when she goes like the tomb of the Temple of the Face Temple, like that whole thing, Like I didn't necessarily wish it had more attention. I didn't really I didn't really like that.

00:46:36
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think that. I think it's a I wish they touched up on it so it'd be more like fleshed out, because like like just being like a young, like little girl in this like insane in westers and like the most crazy world and to like somehow just like skate by the fucking like skin of your teeth every single way you go with.

00:47:09
Speaker 3: The one bastard Son. Yeah, no, absolutely, Brathian bastard Son, and like the I like and then in season eight, like it kind of comes like the yeah she comes back, she comes back, and like she used the powers or whatever you.

00:47:25
Speaker 2: Said, yeah, where she's I wish they had like a little bit more of a because it's like not that much like magic that's like touched on, you know, They're not like shooting fireballs like wizard style and shit. Like the most they do is in like season two when Khalisi goes to like that Warlock temple when they take her dragons and ship, and but I wish they touched more upon it of like the technicality rather than being like, yeah, she cuts these like Walter Frays like face off and then she just can wear it like a mask because she spent this time in this temple doing whatever how that works, and like working on these bodies, I guess. And I wish they like touch upon like a little bit more of like there's a little bit more of a magic rather than just kind of like a cut explanation, Yeah you can do this now. Yeah this this girl has gone full Hannibal Lecter. She's wearing hand Yeah, she's gone full Hannibal.

00:48:15
Speaker 5: Do you have like a least favorite main character he hates?

00:48:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've already.

00:48:20
Speaker 8: Talked about this one, but it's it is Grandpa Joe. And if you guys ever get a chance on YouTube, there's a four minute rant by Jim Rome on Grandpa Joe. It is one of the funniest things you'll ever hear in your life. The original Charlie in the Chocolate Factory was my favorite movie growing up, and I can never fucking watch that movie after listening to that because Grandpa Joe is the biggest piece of shit in the world. He gives this kid alcohol, he Augusta's he goes He's gonna drink the whole river, and Augustus drowns in it.

00:48:48
Speaker 2: You know.

00:48:48
Speaker 8: He sits in the bed all day, and then Charlie comes home with a you know, gold ticket while Grandma's working triple shifts at the laundromat.

00:48:54
Speaker 3: Piece of ship.

00:48:55
Speaker 2: Get it?

00:48:55
Speaker 6: How you living man?

00:48:56
Speaker 2: How living man? Yeah, dude, it's heinous.

00:48:59
Speaker 4: On on a positive noe.

00:49:01
Speaker 1: Do you want to do best characters or should we save it? I mean I feel like you kind of need some thought. Yeah, sitting you're just kind of you know, playing ping.

00:49:10
Speaker 2: Pong, SpongeBob, Goku, gokude, don't get me started on dragon balls, dude, don't even get me started. Don't even get me Sorry. I we got to talk after you, man, because we don't want to just make this a full anime. Nerd out ye but damn yeo. I think like, yes, dude, Like sometimes I'll be on the gym just like cracked off a fucking like Celsius your energy drink, and I'll just be like YouTube Goku speeches fifteen minutes long.

00:49:39
Speaker 6: We have the same YouTube.

00:49:42
Speaker 7: Mine would be you watch the attack on Titan obviously, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah dude. Whenever I need to get like a quick hit of motivation, I'll just do a commander or win speech.

00:49:50
Speaker 2: Yeah dude. Or he's just like soldiers. Yeah, there's something about it, and like you try these voice actors too, like if you like watch them in the booth, that's such an just in craft and it's too where these guys are just like their inflections are insane and it's almost like and like the wisdom that some of them are spinning too. It's like says so many hidden gems. You get it, Yeah, dude. It's like they're spinning bars like in uh what's uh god, dude, what's one of my.

00:50:18
Speaker 6: Favorite What was the movie that just came out, Demon Slayer? Do you see the movie?

00:50:22
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yea, I went by myself, dude in theaters and saw that ship.

00:50:25
Speaker 6: I have just one other anime friend in Nashville.

00:50:28
Speaker 2: We went. It was no, dude, it was electric. Animation is so good.

00:50:34
Speaker 6: No, Jason j.

00:50:35
Speaker 7: C is an anime fan. But my friend Austin, Yeah, man, I'm all in. I'm watching full Full Metal Alchemists right now.

00:50:43
Speaker 2: Don't even get me started on Edward, dude. Just so that's that's another one where they're just dropping fucking wisdom, dude, Full Metal Alchemists Brotherhood. He's like sitting there and he's like, in this world, he's like, it's a law for I'm saying. He calls it the law of equivalent exchange, right, and it's kind of like a yin and yang. But he's like, in order to get something in this life, you have to be willing to sacrifice something of equal value, of equal value absolutely, and so I think that's like, uh, I think in life not to get actually, yeah, the shade stay on because we're getting sentimental. My buddy Aaron and I always have this saying the world's got a funny way of knocking you down when you're feeling like you're on top. And I think that comes like with uh, it's like not to like to not be grateful for when great things are happening to you and be like, oh shit, when's the shit gonna fuck up again? But it's like this macmata leck right, It's like everybody's walking tall till they trip, and that shit like is like something that like always resonates with me. But that's like the part of the ship of the Wisdom that they're just dropping in full metal where man, Yeah, the law of equivalent exchange almost I want to get that tattooed on me. Actually, yeah, fuck with the logo. Do the logo is sick?

00:51:57
Speaker 1: Actually?

00:51:58
Speaker 2: Dude? Yeah? Not to like just distracted the.

00:52:01
Speaker 5: One that I started Attack on Titan, Yeah, I think I got like seven or eight episodes in probably stopped obviously stopped way too soon because it was getting hype. I think it's the I want to listen. I want to watch it and have to read the subtitles. Yeah, because I would watch it in the English version, and it just wasn't the same.

00:52:21
Speaker 7: Do you watch it and it depends on the show, like you watch uh yeah, you watch Black Clover.

00:52:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, So like that's I watched Friendships to Getting Made show.

00:52:37
Speaker 7: But that's an example of like I watched that one in English because Austa's Japanese voice is so annoying. His English voice is sti annoying, but the Japanese one is even worse.

00:52:48
Speaker 6: So I'll watch it in English.

00:52:49
Speaker 2: I wish I could. I've got a couple hummies here, like I call them. You know, in the different worlds that we all live in, there's snobs everywhere, but I but he's like an animated snow where he's just like dringing on watching the subs, dude.

Speaker 4: And that was hell on Earth.

01:00:44
Speaker 1: Three wings a week they did where it was crazier in Nashville, and you go to any location. So what they would do is every hour they would come out and give you like you know how it's like a mile like their stickers for.

01:00:57
Speaker 2: The wait, is it just six a week?

01:01:00

Speaker 2: That's my that's my dog, dude, that's my little blood. I love that he's such a little ball of energy. And then like he's like sitting there just like we're sitting there just and sign it and just sitting there like you just never seen a kid just more fucking just like developed in a movie, because that's like, well, you know, I think movies and like all that ship is. It's like you go to the theater, You're like in there, sh it's magical when you're a little kid. And then like yeah, just being able to share that that's fucking awesome. Cool.

01:04:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm trying to get to the theater this week. I think, yeah, movie I want to see. It's so bad.

01:04:29
Speaker 3: Time the amount of marketing they've done for this Tron movie, this has to be the best.

01:04:34
Speaker 4: The th HX.

01:04:36
Speaker 6: Is that what it is?

01:04:37
Speaker 3: Yeah?

01:04:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be the last in solment of tront ever. And they're like Jared Leto.

01:04:43
Speaker 5: Did it again, Oh, just put another one to rest.

01:04:47
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna see it with complete open arms, and I know I'm gonna love it because I love Tron so much, so I just want to go get lost in the theater.

01:04:56
Speaker 5: The first one was amazing, absolutely, dude.

01:05:00
Speaker 2: Tron Legacy was just so god Dude, Tron Legacy was so electric. Daft Punk's doing the soundtrack, like just every like the base like every time you hear it, just dude, Jeff Bridges is in that bitch, just holding it down, absolutely just electric. I got to actually actually fucking like name dropping no story, Yeah your cousin talking talking about so No. I got to work with fucking Garrett Headline, who's starting tron Legacy, and Jordan Ross, the director of this film called The Tutor, and I had a small part in that where I played this kid getting tutored and uh, I had a scene with Garrett and him and I got to go rip some SIGs outside too and chill. But I played like this like eighteen year old or like sixteen year old whatever, like seventeen year old kid just getting tutored. And he's like at this like insane mansion, just like super being an absolute assholders tutor. But he's got like a katana. He's like sitting there just playing with the katana. And it's so funny because ever since I was a kid and like watching Game of Thrones growing up with and just like any Lord of the Rings movie, I just was like always like damn, I'm obsessed with swords. And I just had like like four swords in my room and I would just like sit and just dream about being like an actor. But it's like playing with the sword. And so one of the story is you gotta watch fucking Lord of the Rings and two uh no, I got to ore of Garrett and he was like one of the most up here far.

01:06:37
Speaker 6: It's tight on my biceps.

01:06:41
Speaker 7: Yeah.

01:06:41
Speaker 6: The sword.

01:06:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like that's every dude ever that's just obsessed with swords or with the sword.

01:06:50
Speaker 2: See somehow, like I saw this saying there was like the male, the masculine urge to just bleed out on a battlefield of the sword in your.

01:06:59
Speaker 4: Hand evolution, Like I feel like that's just programmed into you, just be.

01:07:04
Speaker 2: Like John Snow and that in the Battle of Baskett seem it just whips that out.

01:07:09
Speaker 6: I'm afraid that the young like the current middle schoolers don't have that.

01:07:12
Speaker 7: In the don't have there's song change, which means we have to have a sword fight, which means we need we.

01:07:19
Speaker 2: Need, we need nerve to come back. It's nerve for nothing. And because like I remember growing up, bro, we would uh.

01:07:27
Speaker 6: Nerve for nothing.

01:07:28
Speaker 2: It's nerve or nothing. We would have like we would just have nerve wars. Dude, like before paintball, you'd be like I got to sleepover, and like you got like all the homies there and just yeah, dude, and then one kid, poor kid, it just gets like shot way too close. It's just like you are bullying me, and you're like, dude, it's the war, dude. Everyone's getting bullied.

01:07:51
Speaker 5: Bro.

01:07:51
Speaker 2: We're in the trenches right now, Dude.

01:07:53
Speaker 6: We're in the trenches.

01:07:54
Speaker 3: My brother shot me in the eye one time, and I like it was like from far away and he's like shot and I saw it and I started crying on purpose to try to get try to get Nate in trouble, and you never got in trouble.

01:08:05
Speaker 2: Damn, I've been crazy.

01:08:08
Speaker 3: I would get in trouble for literally doing anything, and Nate never got in trouble.

01:08:13
Speaker 5: And like, why didn't you get out of the way of it if you saw it coming.

01:08:17
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't remember. I don't know if I might be mixing two stories here.

01:08:24
Speaker 2: Wait, Mitch, have you seen the matrix, the first one that's one way to dodge bullets?

01:08:31
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean talk about the choke hold that had on you as a kid of just trying every time.

01:08:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, dude, I rewatched those movies. I saw this, I saw what was it? I saw this interview. I think Keanu Reeves was on like on some late night show like a year ago or something, but he talks about when the Metaverse was coming out, and he's just sitting there and like, I'm never I don't think. I like, it's so funny like that, the parasocial relationship that we have with celebrities and shit like just being online or whatever. But Keanu was just like he's like, yeah, we're going with the Metaverse, like there's a new matrix. I just like, ah, don't you think it's a little outdated, Like just seeing him just be like like clowning something kind of You're like, damn, Keanu, if it's coming from you, dude, like that one cuts deep. I hope Mark's all that because that shit's real as fuck. But uh nah, dude. I remember rewatching the movie like last year and just sitting there and being like, damn, yeah, we're fucked.

01:09:38
Speaker 6: I need to rewatch.

01:09:39
Speaker 5: I know, I was just thinking the same thing. Whenever they're on TV, I'll like watch for like twenty minutes or so.

01:09:45
Speaker 4: Resurrections was asked, But I mean, I still enjoyed it.

01:09:49
Speaker 2: I never saw it.

01:09:50
Speaker 4: It's not it's it's one eleven. It's exactly what you think it would be. But it's probably the neutron.

01:09:56
Speaker 2: I thought it was just like John Wick six from like what I saw for Oh John question, I like John Wick es, we love we love j w dude, question word.

01:10:09
Speaker 5: John Wick is going to go the wrong way for Jason.

01:10:17
Speaker 2: Who wins or like with the better movie, the answers the same like they fight or the the Oh yeah, it's like the better the better win. A hold up, dude, I think.

01:10:30
Speaker 5: I forget what I just feel like, I feel like.

01:10:35
Speaker 4: That's what I'm on.

01:10:36
Speaker 2: I think John Wick, dude, I think Jason Bourne would. I don't know, because like the I'm like thinking about strategies right, I'm thinking about dude, I'm thinking about their strategies because I'm just like, okay, like Jason Bourne obviously like fucking full secret agent everything else. And then John Wick, I feel like, just like x VET that's just like an absolute assassin. But Jason Bourne is just like he's oh my god, it's Jason barn In. I know that John. I know Jack loves John Wig, get.
