And then when you get to actually meet them, when you get to meet them in person, which I had the opportunity to do, it's just kind of a fun experience.
4:09
what it is is we have like insight into how it was made, you know, like these are movies, obviously, Holy grail.
4:16
We've seen dozens of times Christmas story.

So it's like, you get like, it's almost like a, how did this get made session? It's really, uh, it's really cool.
4:30
And we just tell personal stories.

And then as time rolls on, lots of times people just kind of go their own way, you know, and but it's a very formative time in your life.
121:10
And it's 101, so you're gonna have to cut it short.
121:13
Okay.

164:06
We have, we, uh, we have Lamar, who sort of shit the bed today.
164:10
I don't even know how we're winning this, and we gotta talk about Scary Terry and what we're gonna do with that, because while A.J. Brown sits in our IR, we're in big trouble.
164:24
[laughs]
51:32
Jerry, how are you doing?
51:34

We had a good dinner last night.
51:39
We hung out, all three of us, had a nice dinner and, uh, early night.
51:43
I actually won some money at the...
51:46
Well, maybe...
53:41
[laughs]
34:04
Oh, my God, Tiffany New York
34:04

34:06
Shout out my, my Instagram friend.
34:09
I love New York, Tiffany Pollard.
34:12
Um, it, uh, um...
34:17
It, it, it's, uh, it's...
34:20
Big, Big Brother is not, like...
SchmannGUEST
38:04
So they're not even getting time to digest it.
109:28
Why not? [laughs]
109:29
[laughs][laughs] That's a weird thing for you- Mm-hmm ... to not want people to think.
109:34
I just, like someone at a massage parlor, I don't want them to think I'm there for, like, weird reasons, you know? I think I want them to think- Mm-hmm ...
109:39
I'm just going there to just get a massage.
109:41
It sound- the more you say it- [laughs] ...
109:42
it, it does sound like you're there for weird reasons.
109:44
Um, but I just don't like getting them, especially, like, if they s- just like you roll the dice and you get the guy, if he's, like, massaging your inner thigh, like, you're like, "Oh, gosh, don't, please don't get erect.

41:32
[laughs]
41:33
Yeah.
41:33
Underwears.
41:34
Uh- Draws ... somehow you, you, you make it plural.
41:37
Um- He does ...
41:39
but, uh, yeah.
41:41
And I'll tell you, the biggest issue is, um, when you're wearing underwears and they're photographing you, uh, you wanna make sure there's like blood flow.

22 MINS LATER

63:28
[laughs]
DanteGUEST
45:52
God, I hope you're fucking right so bad.
45:55
I, I'm, I'm old enough to remember 2008.
45:56
I don't know, GLC.
45:56
I- And everybody, everybody was buying houses in 2008.
45:59
Mm-hmm.
45:59
Yep.
46:00
And then it all came crumbling down- There's...

27 MINS LATER

72:57
Thank you.
100:31
Mamory.
100:31
Memory.
100:32
Um, I, uh...
100:35
Just how kind she was.
100:36
Very charitable, very, uh, you know, I believe gave every child a book in the state of Tennessee.
100:43
Just, uh-
100:54
Yeah
100:54
... rest in peace, Dolly Parton.
35:29
Sure.
35:29
And it's really, um...
35:31
It's funny.
35:32
That's a new chapter for my wife and I.
35:35
And, um, it's funny.
35:38
Uh, just this weekend, I dropped them off at a party, and I was like, beforehand, I have to say, like, "Hey, guys, you know, I can't tell you what to do and what not to do, you know? But, like, try not to get, like, wasted." And I see a lot of their friends getting really wasted.
35:54
My, one of my kids got really wasted once.
36:39
Yes, yes.
6:00
Yeah.
6:00
I gotta tell you, in this chain of messiness, and it is a chain of messiness, everyone's messy.
6:06
There are no innocent people in that chain of messiness.
6:10
But I think the messiest was Drew telling Angela that this happened, because it would have remained unknown to Angela if not for Drew telling, if not for Drew telling Angela...
6:28
I, I gotta tell you, a- again, Big Brother is an allegory to real life.
6:34
I have teenage daughters, okay? There's a lot of teenage behavior in the Big Brother house.
6:39
My daughters told something, I'm gonna assign gender here, to a guy friend of theirs, a fellow teenage guy friend, okay, about something that happened with one of their female friends.
10:39
What would your strategy be?
4:02
So we talked about Botox.
4:04
You know, Kelly, it's so funny you say that.
4:06
You are...
4:07
And this is going to be a theme with today's episode.
4:09
You are such like a first for my wife and I for so many things.
4:13
But it's so funny.
4:14
We've known you for decades, my wife and I.

18 MINS LATER

21:59
Okay,
speaker_6UNKNOWN
16:59
[laughs]
17:00
There are, uh, there are Juggalos at our show.
17:03
And I could see the hairs on Corey's neck go up, uh, and him say, "Juggalos are here?" And I was, again, he was like, "I have a problem with the Juggalos." And I was like, "What?" Now I was like, "Is this, like, a bike, like, a biker gang, like, situa- Like, what are you talking about?" And so I think, I don't know any of the details, but I think maybe he has a beef with you, Corey?
18:39
At the end of the day, when we became the Boogeyman, but we al- we, we said also, like, we w- always wanted to kinda meet him and have him on because, um, he do-
18:48
He, he, he, he, he should.
18:49
Let me just interrupt you.
18:51
Corey, this is Jerry here, your childhood friend, and, and I'm a- as close to Corey as it gets.
18:57
Corey, you, you gotta come on this show.
3:36
Uh, talk to me about, uh, uh, about being in this film and, and, you know, what does it mean to you to do a family film?
3:44
You know, I have, uh, two teenage daughters at home.
3:47
Um, the script really, um, resonated with me.
3:50
It's about, uh, um, a stepdad trying to enter into, um, a stepdaughter and, um, a woman's life.
4:00
And, um, I don't know, it just really, uh, it just really clicked with me.
4:05
It, um, teenage girls are tough.
4:07
It's a really, it's the tou...
4:19
[laughs]
17:01
Right? First take.
17:04
OK. Sophia, you know this about me, I love reality television.
17:09
Of the two of us, who is more likely to allow reality television crews into our own homes? You.
17:17
I would do it in a second.
17:19
My wife is, what's the word, like private.
17:21
I tried to talk her into real housewives of Beverly Hills.
17:23
I was like, let's do it.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
18:27
Why?
38:18
[laughs]
38:19
Who's that? Bing Bong.
38:21
Bing Bong.
38:22
Bing Bong.
38:24
You thought you were gonna go to a, a beautiful island and get away from everything and get away from Mr. Bing Bong, but Mr. Bing Bong is stronger than ever.
38:33
You'll never get him to retire, no matter how many Massholes say Mr. Bing Bong sucks.
38:40
And I know it's all Hankie's friends from Massachusetts, or as we call them, Massholes, which is a play on words of the anus.
39:01
[laughs]
19:46
[laughs]
19:46
And I'm gonna get, uh, serious for a second.
19:49
Um, it's funny, when I was in...
19:50
I was a child actor.
19:51
I was in Stand By Me.
19:53
Stand By Me was a big hit movie.
19:55
Everyone...

22 MINS LATER

41:45
Yeah.
180:17
Um, but it's good to see you, Jerry, and I'm glad that we could finally get you two together here.
180:22
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm so excited.
180:23
I mean, I, I, I said this on, uh, on your other podcast, on that other podcast, that I believe Dante is literally the most interesting man in the world.
180:33
And, uh, he's got some, uh, he's got some out there ideas and theories that, uh, you know, I, I sort of question a little bit.
180:44
I'll tell you, uh, uh, al- also where this is coming from.
180:47
I have a family member, not gonna say who, trying to keep the family intact, who, uh, last, um, holiday we were seated next to each other at a table.
180:57
It was hot.

6 MINS LATER

186:54
Bad guy.
17:52
Uh, what is the premise of your movie that premieres July 3rd?
17:57
Summer's Last Resort.
17:58
I play, um, a stepdad who's about to propose to the beautiful Sophia Bush.
18:03
Any One Tree Hill fans out there? Um, and, uh, her children, who are about to be my stepchildren, have a different plan.
18:11
It's a really fun family movie, and, uh, it's coming out July 4th weekend.
18:14
It's gonna be great.
18:15
Stream it on Tubi.
21:34
[laughs]
113:31
[laughs]
113:31
... who are surrounded by Lakers fans, surrounded by Lakers fans, this run has made them, they're 17, Knicks fans for life.
113:43
They would go to parties and they'd be the only people rooting for the Knicks, 'cause their dad is from New York and they know their n- dad is in San Antonio watching the game and all that stuff.
113:52
And my daughter called me up this morning and was like, "Hey, we went out, we watched the game.
113:55
That was so crazy.
113:56
They were down by 15." And my daughter plays volleyball pretty, pretty competitively.
114:01
And she said, "Dad, how did they keep winning from behind so much?" And I said, I, I, I'm not kidding, guys, uh, 'cause it all comes back to part of my take.

14 MINS LATER

HankPANELIST
128:00
It's a classic.
18:37
[laughs]
18:37
...
18:37
I am coming off of the whole Summer House thing, which is on Bravo.
18:40
If those don't know, it's a group of people who've been getting sort of a share, a summer share, and there was a big controversy, um, about people hooking up with people.
18:50
Um, I've been a little quiet about that because there was a big controversy that happened where one of the housemates who was married, who was no longer married, hooked up with another male housemate, and the young lady who hooked up with the other housemate, I know everyone's confused right now, I'm so sorry, we should probably...
19:06
A lot of people tuned in to talk about politics, and now they're talking about this.
19:09
[laughs] I'm so sorry.

5 MINS LATER

speaker_11UNKNOWN
24:11
[laughs]
93:31
Mm-hmm.
93:32
I'm standing there one day, and I'm just like, I got a break, and I run over, and I'm like, you know? And, uh, guy, muscular guy, young guy, comes over.
93:45
And he's standing there, and he's like watching me, like, suck, sucking my ciggy.
93:48
And I go, "Hey, man, w- want a ciggy?" Like, and you want someone else to smoke with you, you know? Y- y- you don't want to be the only, only degenerate at work.
93:57
And he goes, "Nah, man, I don't, uh, I don't smoke anymore.
94:02
I quit." And I went, "Holy shit.
94:06
How? How'd you quit? How'd you do it? How'd you do it, man?" And he was like, "I got the lasers." And I was like, "What? Lasers?" Like, you know, you hear lasers, satellite lasers, you get like excited.

6 MINS LATER

DanteGUEST
100:11
I feel like you have to be in the minority, unless I'm completely wrong.
88:20
Is Mr. Bing Bong gonna come out for Max?
88:23
You know what's funny about the Sixers winning? I was thinking about it, and congratulations, uh, Brothers Dalente.
88:28
Um, but uh, I'm gonna tell Hank, uh, I woke up this morning and I, I'm a lit- I'm sort of like Coach, Coach Mazzulla.
88:36
I don't know if you saw, we w- we went out to that exotic dancer club r- right afterwards.

23 MINS LATER

111:42
Where did you tell her you were coming this weekend?
111:44
Um, m- my wife was aware, uh, that I was coming to a bachelor party this weekend.
111:50
Although, my wife did say, as I was mentioning, uh, 'cause I came a day later, um, I was like, "Hey, I'm going." And my wife was like, "Where are you going?" And I was like, "The bachelor party I've been talking to you about for...
112:04
Oh, you know, it was, uh, a month..." And I, like, my wife had to make, my wife made believe that, uh, my wife didn't know what I was talking about.
47:31
Yeah, I cannot.
47:31
And I'm stiff.
47:32
I'm not good at self-tapes.
47:34
And so that's why, uh, you gotta sorta move with the times.
47:38
That said, when I got to the set of Scream 2, I really knew I had to, like, do something to fit in.
47:44
Um, I, I just had to do something to fit into this world.
47:49
And, um, and I, I, I really, um, I really thought about that.

8 MINS LATER

55:27
You did?
72:00
Yeah.
72:00
And w- we're, we're best friends, but, like, Annika and, um, Nikki would talk for hours, and hours, and hours.
72:12
And they would just, like, look out at that lake at Camp Barstool, um, Lake, uh, Lake Barstool, and, um, just talk.
72:23
So they obviously have a connection that, um, I mean, there's no denying that they have a connection.
72:28
But you, I'd love to go.
72:29
You know what? I'll watch all the clips this, uh-

10 MINS LATER

82:35
It's a problem.
82:38
It's, uh, it's so wild.
