“Murder him today, but I think I'll be very suspicious. My nefarious plans for Chad involve going back to tomorrow and planning for yesterday. And hopefully Dudzie will give me the answer there. What it is to do with Chad's frozen body. If I got to drive it out to, if I got to take a hold of it like one of those Tesla mom vans and shove my garage freezer in it and plug it in and shove Chad in there and drive out to Arizona and deliver him under a mountain or wherever the fuck this place is and say, here's this dog tag, what does this get me? And then I'm like, ah, it's going to be 300 bucks. Do you take Amix? No. And I'd be like, ah, shit. And I'll just dump them somewhere breaking bad style.”

“Yeah, I do. I do. I take things way too fucking seriously sometimes. But. They're going to loosen the neck up. But no, I think that's really good. That's really good stuff.

We got Christian metal and there's some world music and then there's a reggae thing and it's all rammed in together or you don't go to a restaurant. I'd love a nice steak. Cool.

“I think great stand ups are fucking incredible. I'll go when I've gone and watched stand up. You know, there's your friend you're going to see. But then there's this other person who really speaks to you. You know what I mean? And if you like one comedian a night, that's a lot because a comedy club is like a fucking crazy restaurant where there's no menu. And it's like.”

“Dumb thing. And I don't think it was very good. But Bobby required it in order for me to open for him. He's like, you're not fucking doing it. So I'm not going to get up on stage and not do we agreed. I'll do it. Having been up there just in, you know, whatever. I've done it like a dozen fucking times, not a bunch of times, right? Like nothing. And, you know, these comedians that go up every night, sometimes two times a night, it's I will say I love performing in front of people when I get the chance, but it's a specific thing that I got to go back to this.

“It did. And I did the character, who's a character I came up with on 10 Minute Podcasts. He's just this comedian, right? He calls himself an open mic veteran. You know, he's been doing open mics forever. And so I did it opening up for Bobby. And he's like, you have to do some of it as yourself. So I just kind of did this bit where I would do some of his jokes and then I would lead Leon silly. I got a fucking wig on and I'd take the wig off and I go. And as myself, I start explaining it. Hello, my name is Will. See, the reason that it's funny is because Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's in these movies and he's got the thick Austrian accent, but he's like, my name is Ben Williams. I'm a cop from Colorado. No, you're not. And it doesn't make sense as the comedian character that I'm doing because that character doesn't do impersonations. Okay, carrying on. And then I put the wig back on and go back into this.”

“I love it, but I can only hear them. You can't see them because of the lights like it is in a lot of performances. And I would imagine with stand up, you see the first couple rows. I've done, I do this character that does stand up. And I used to take him out and do things with him and do little bits here and there. I haven't done it in like four or five years.”

“I'm making that face. I'm making that after the take face. No, I love doing stuff off the cuff. That's kind of you to say. And I I really do dig doing stuff in front of an audience because I love seeing, I don't give it to myself very often.

I'm like, it is, it's like, oh, I've been thirsty for this.

You lost your luggage or whatever the heck you've got going on in your day-to-day life that everyone brings to work and tries to let go of. Once we're doing the scene, oh man, it's the best.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it seems like a trope. It's like giving a Western, it's got to be a hell of a Western or whatever because it's like an old Hollywood trope. Yeah, no, that scene is so great because they're never there at the height of their friendship in a way, and they're also pretty much about to let go of it and become enemies. And both things are happening at the same time. And Pesci drives him out to the desert. And if I remember correctly, De Nero's character, Ace Rosteen, Rothschild, he says, I gave myself 50-50 whether I'm coming back.”

“Shooting great scene. He goes, I love that scene. I go, That's you. So you're doing that we know is terrible, but we love you. He goes, all right, I got it. And then I said, There's this one scene. I explained this scene to him where one of the mobsters, tough guys, was in the window of the car, and Jimmy, my character, is very coked up at the time and he's hemorrhaging money here and there and making bad bets because he's getting sloppy. And this guy wants to bug him about some Jets, giants bet, or something. I'm like, telling you fucking asshole, don't fucking do it. He's like, yeah, well, the fucking Giants. And in the scene, Jimmy, my character grabs him by the lapels and just smashes his fans against the roof of the car. And I say this to Jimmy. And he goes, oh yeah, I would have done that. That's not a fucking big deal.”

“And I said, you ever seen Goodfellas? He's like, I fucking love that movie. Because, like I said, he did some unsavory shit. And I go, you remember the scene where the guy, Lorraine Brocko's neighbor, made her uncomfortable and was touching on her. And she goes to Ray Liota and he goes, where the fuck does this guy live? And then remember, he walks across the street and pistol whips the dude.”

“Speaking to him, it was just bizarre to hear like I said to him, he was a little concerned about this and that. Like, hey, you know, you say whatever the fuck you want in your movie. I got my book and I got this other fucking deal. But he goes, you know, I didn't do this and I didn't do that. And I'm like, yeah, all right, I got you.

He was making a lot of money for a lot of people and he figured out how to cook it with this dude who was an NBA ref. And it's a very interesting documentary, the thing that just untold, under the untold series, they cover it. But getting to play that guy, that was a gas for me because he's like, there was a lot of unsavory stuff and he's definitely the guy, the character in the movie who is the wild card and you don't want to necessarily mess with him. And I got this by this fellow who is a real guy.”

“The reality is less pleasant, you know, and there are things that happen during an experience of shooting something that you could take or leave, right? But the part where you're on set and you know, you've rehearsed for a minute or whatever, at least you know where you're supposed to stand and you know all your lines show up, knowing everything, knowing what you're going to do and what you aim to do. Those moments make it all worth it when you're, you know, not sound like a douchebag, but between action and cut, that's the stuff that is that makes me, that has me continuing to do what I do aside from the fact that it's like, I don't know how to do anything else”

They weren't going to do that with us because they're in this brand new world and there's all these possibilities.

“Sure, yeah, it was just a guy in pink tights. Everything makes sense. Every single thing is rooted in the thing that just happened, and everything that he does is to set up what he's going to do. They call it, and I'm just a wrestling nerd, but the wrestlers, I guess, call it ring psychology, the things that you have to do to make it seem like you're suffering or you're coming from behind or whatever. And then also just the physicality of it. He does it, he would do it at a hundred miles an hour and never hurt anybody. Although...
