You were wrong you in the wrong initially you knew you are wrong here, but you are not. You were like oh fuck. the only one that can accept responsibility for this. In your eyes. It was a really interesting look. I've only seem like normal in this situation. I was gonna get blamed. Right I did blame you in my head. He did I okay, that's what I saw. I saw you blaming me. Well, you know what you said later was accurate. You said, I understand why you would think it was disconnected because you I've been back and forth to the car several times. So that's

is what my head did. My head went. Oh, he took it out, cause he's been back and forth in invoking the coroner dating back to the car after going inside and looking for ice. chocolate. Looking into an ilo some money gum accident. I have gum gum, she goes. I need some tic tacs so I went back into a tick tax and back out again what took tax yes, and I just assumed we were all wrapped up and waiting, but we were not wrapped.

We gotta get another reminder some area ripped off the nozzle again and I went back. I go, I'm so happy. I'm gonna get to see this, and then you are working with the nozzle. In your hand, and you are looking at me, ready to blame me, and I can. I saw it in your eyes

you knew you were the only ones, but you didn't, but boy did you. I thought you thought he took it out a mean. You did come back and tell you were so ready to blame me, and I was such an interesting look in your eyes. And I knew from that moment- I wasn't mad at you. I thought it was kind of fucking, crazy, ok, we're gonna be here. While I don't care about any of that, as I did gas going everywhere, no one's die. Because that was what I thought happened when you rip the nozzle out. Apparently it's magnetic they've, just plug it right back in for one hundred and seventy bucks right, but man Interesting, looking your, I say it was funny law that mean that larvae guy behind me was was hazing and I was like lot better move, and I to sort of you undertaken Gallagher that drove off without even looking consent.

Because I wish you d been gondola from the base. do the summit a mammoth in Burton. I were both sitting closest to the door and our kids and our friends they have subs were in there and then, when the door, open, I just assumes- is I'm the lady, like instinctively the lady goes out first, but apparently I assumed wrong and burden. I liked pinball machine banged each other, but the tuck in the door trying to get at the same time cause I was trying not to fall and then going back in to go back down. You were elbowing me aside, literally allowed me to get in first, so you get to see wanted. I thought, oh, my god, so pumping gas is probably it may be The only gentlemanly saying like that that you do you're always very natural for media shit on that's a

things being. Ok, when we go on thinking, we got to the top of the summit. I saw a sign that set eleven fifty three, the altitude, it's as eleven in big letters and then the number- Fifty three! That's the name of the bar, the even go to let the eleven Thirty three bar means your ousted eleven thousand feet and fifty three of antiquity miss read it as seven eleven, a m. So there's a set of eleven here and I like someone up election, no shit and so I made fun of that and that's why I, when, when europe that thing off, I was ready to be in trouble, but why would you every in trouble for something I did cause? It part it's a little bit. Little bit of the leanne like whenever they want. I said: hey kids boring, eating. I said kids don't get, four pieces stake. Allow their enough to be for everyone you, what if they would forward,

So stake then get four pieces stake now. No, no! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! That's not what I was saying that actually know none and net ninon. And what were you saying here The way the entire night had been haste. Even Gonna both put. Are you gonna cut that are moving that hey stephen? Can you move that every Eric? How about you put this over here, hey sandy, why don't you move this over here and put it here? Hey you scoop this out. Hey you do this hey. Can you give me some corn? How about you have some mac and cheese? How about you have some baked beans? How about you- and I was like to make their own decision. You were telling everybody out everything, and by the time you had told stephen how to cook me Erica. carved me and it was so funny I almost took a picture of it because we were all playing rummy cube. The ladies were playing remick you by you as cookie, and I tried to take a picture has even moved, stephen- was working on the meat at the counter

Eric was standing next to saving- and you were standing almost between the two but behind them with both hands on your hips just tell them what to do. I was a girl. I've told the ladys, I said: look at birth, luke was happening at the counter and they turned around and we all started laughing hysterically because you were standing behind them. Hands on your hips, going yeah yeah, just move it over to this idea is that knife sharpener you may want to sharpen that knife. We are, you sure, has arrested five minutes fully because I don't know if we can really carve at hey Steven how about your carpet you're going to carve it that way. That's how you're going to carbon seven done that and then you continued on telling everybody how to manage everything. So by the time you are telling the kids. How does scoop mac and cheese. I was like stars marriages. I was just saying: docket too much is enough. We can. We can figure out how to scoop megan g anyway. We had a fantastic memorial day weekend and that's why I'm releasing this podcast this week with rob Riggle because you're fucking such

I am not. I wish you I wish stephen had not moved. This is why and by the way, I join this illusion as the camera women about that moment, because we want, I was getting ready to get yelled at win win. I was getting out. I was gonna, be in trouble for her ripping off the nozzle. Ok hold the thumb. This is the way a lot of things happened for you bertrand five minutes ago, I'm taking the garbage- in poland, the garbage out the garbage? Can embargoes don't take that out? I'm gonna take it out and our ok, no problem. So I did something else. A comeback. Garbage is still there go, do something else come back. Garbage is still there,

So then, we're coming out to the man cave to record this and I go hey at a point to the garbage go. I know I know I've got the garbage and I was like, but you clearly forgot the garbage forgot. I asked you fifteen minutes ago to take it out and is sitting in the floor of the kitchen and we have one hundred and forty pound bull mastiff that will eat. That garbage will have your brain. I know, but then you get mad at me for reminding you for something that you forgot that you keep telling me. You want to do to help me and then you get mad cause. They don't ask you for help when, when I I ask you for help, you forget, and you're not being mean you just forget, rush. so then, at the end of the day, the end result is I don't. Help. So then, ask for help so that I'm not disappointed. Does that make sense I dont know what this has to do with

european, the nozzle out yeah. It has to do with you, believing I get mad at you, but sometimes you get mad at me before I can get mad at you because you know you're wrong, like with the garbage.

while the guys in the military on my instagram and there are mine. They are my motivation in a weird way and to know a guy like rob who's in the same career, as I am, but I see him have all the things that that I don't have an end and the point of this package as I felt we're very similar, guys growin up and then we veered off.

We have set you up with and you'll and there, like you gotta you Sarah, oh my god, they'd, be perfectly other and then you're sitting there going I'm single too yeah, there's no one notice and I'm fucking single. I tell you guys, I'm single all the time and no one setting me up with shit. I was sitting next to someone and they go man. That guy has got everything going. I simply mean go. He was a marine and an immediately I went mother fucker I was like god it like. I there's no reason you would ever hate this guy, like you are a million reasons. Amy there are always an alcoholic or whatever, but and I was like and it's and then I would watch you when I was like goddamn you you have. been in so much shit they, it's almost like,

I say this theirs. The thing with. I guess it's not happening with Ben affleck as much anymore, but america buys into you and they go. That's our guy and I go I think you got a couple of hard core holy shit. That's like one of the nicest things in tourism said issued you're you're late jet like there's a handful of you, you David Kirchner, Ok right is one. My friends is remember difference if you see Debbie gardeners on the others can be good. You don't owe me he's he's appear heart he's got it he's a genuine guy is the greatest huh. I saw him at a big five down on ventura, okay and he comes up and he goes crazy like what's up and he goes I go to u and he goes by and waits for some guy who works with one goal in mind: I'll probably get them some that's awesome and that's gagner. He and I do a charity event in Kansas city because we do because we're both from Kansas city. Of course, you guys do okay. So what's what's what's your flaw, then? How can we don't have time? I got so many, it's ridiculous.

I can be lazy. I can be grumpy as all that, though I Well, sometimes I get by. As you have talked to my wife, I guess she's a terrible listener, maybe a horrible, as I don't think, I'm a terrible listener. I I do work on my flaws. I do I try to self improve all the time. So I try to improve. I think, though, I could buy would be a better listener. Probably I know ass, the horrible little yet I think we can all probably better listeners yes. So what so you We were raised in Kansas. I was, in Kansas city, kansas city missouri overland park kansas, which is a suburb of kansas city. On the kansas side, okay, I I hesitate to say Kansas city kansas, because it is different. It's can Kansas city split down the middle between considered kansas and Kansas Missouri, A lot of the nicer stuff is on can consider. Missouri side

a case in Kansas. Is more industrial, complex type stuff, so two old men rougher there's not much to it, although it is getting built up, but over, park. Kansas is a really beautiful suburb of kansas city, but it's on the kansas side. So I'm from Kansas, I went there in major member this. The answer. A championship? Eighty eighty eight Yeah I went to their game nice emma. My uncle was a big lobbyists and that's my experience with kansas city. it's going out there to Kemper arena back in eighty eight and yup. Well, that was a good one, because that's when Kansas university, one with danny manning manning- and so I imagined It- was rock and pretty hard. It was really awesome. It was a really cool experience with my first time like I'm arose first time. I got it, hotel and there was porn available and I was like plaza, kansas city, classic, a closet gave hosts ozma in ninth grade, and I was like

my god. I want to get porn more on lower end, but I was like it's going to come a bullet bill. I know now how little the grown up pays. Attention to a hotel building is bad yeah. I would have definitely loaded up so so you city, we're gonna, like parent, together with the other sister up. I had live on older sister, one one older sister, whose outstanding and I had to great parents that are still married to this day, fifty five years into it. I guess and their friends. aztec, everybody's happy and happy unhealthy deployed sport in high school, I'm to see how similar we are, and why you I had so much more success them yeah cause. I really feel like I really like when I first saw you. I was like this is the kind of guy I would have grown up with is a colleague I would been friends with grown go to www authority, then we would have I moved to new york together. Had similar experiences are like like weep, I feel it

we would be on the same path. So my goal is to find out how silly our paths and we're u diver less and and and and succeeded as to be when you say: laziness I go. if you stay out of bars until four in the morning and you're like oh, no, no, I meant, and then I have a hard time getting to the gym at me. Like I didn't write my ten pages on my script today. When I only wrote five and I should've, I should've done ten damage, I am so so high school, like what kind of like I had a very I would I dunno, I guess the more I the more I live around the the world and the country and the more people I get exposed to and the more I learn about other people's journeys. The more I realize just how great a childhood. I had a really did. You know, so funny when they first I'm talking about white privilege, I am, mark the idea, and now I look I'm really getting to a place where go. Oh aye, aye deadly

benefited. Am I really had a very low blast childhood? I struggle with white privilege a little bit, although I did what I did just finish reading. I know I'm like five years behind on this, but I was m woke for nineteen. Eighty five, I did. I did just read: outliers amalgam, gladwell, spear, ok and wait really dives into the effect of community and what that means too. Your ability to succeed, and he really does some pretty interesting historical work. talking about just, the community, your raised in the opportunities you get in that community and bodily and goes on and on and on, and it could be making an argument for I want. I want to say why privilege but privilege be ok, it applies across racial lines The community and the opportunities you presented with an end the amount of success you have as a result of that

and it can be generational, so it was was a fascinating read on that, but at the end of the day when I- cutting milkweed out of the bean fields and my and father's farm. You know well fourteen hours a day in the summer recall anybody here. I didn't and feel like much privileged there when I was a dirt, is real and it didn't feel like a lot of privilege when I was in boot camp. I didn't feel like stand the historical references, I'm not oblivious to that you, but at the the day, it does come that there is a it's a mix. It is, I believe there is a mix between the community and opportunities presented and I also believe that at some point you have to be responsible for your own life, you, to be sure you can point to society, you can point at your parents, you can pointed everybody you you could. spend all day make a laundry list reasons why your life-

and what you wanted to be, but at the end of the day, is just you It's you were born naked. We come into this world egg. We're gonna die naked alone there. He is so you have you just made every single one of my listeners. Deckard there's a bunch of fat like eyes, would beards going you're fuckin bus, my god them ass. I have no that's what I'm gonna go. Get em, like you know, like I remember, seeing you easy politicians making these speeches about how you didn't earn anything in your life, and you didn't do this and you know it's it's the taxpayers who built the road so that you can have a business and ok yeah, I mean sure if you want to make that your truth. Fine, yes, there that there are elements of truth there, but at the unity who put their name on the line who put their money on the line who risked everything the individual whoever that individual is they're. The ones who risk at all reputation fortune, relationships everything.

there is a mixed between community individual an endless somewhere in the truth is that is somewhere in the middle? Is the truth? Are so it's it's, it's it enters its it's an interesting debate. I did enjoy his book. Malcolm's was a few Likewise, I am listening to feel like we do things. I'd said as an adult I'd that I read this is gonna sound ridiculous one of your bouquet I wanted to. I feel like I needed. I needed the turn experience for me was very defining and because of humility, the when you got a haze, pretty aggressively and there was a submitting that happened where I think it helps you redefine who you are and what you are, and I looked at it as an adult I said, to a my bodies. So we stronger a bootcamp we should see, and organise a boot camp. obviously I will be going to eighteen weeks or thirteen weeks whatever it is, but like, but go

way and sacrifice a little bit to see What I'm listening to you! I go. I bet that was a very big, defining moment for you. I was I was nineteen years old and it was devil a transition. It was a transition from boyhood to manhood no doubt about it, because we new step off that bus and put your feet in those yellow footprints and the jewels. Georgia start yelling at you, you're alone here you can't get back on that. But you can't call time out. You can't say I don't wanna play anymore you're in it. And that's when you realise, oh, I'm gonna have to get strong, I'm gonna have to mentally strong and we have to get physically strong. I'm gonna have to be tougher than ever thought I could be and it hits you like a slap in the face, and it scares the shit out of you. Could you sit there? You think just made the biggest mistake. I'm a fucking life fuck, but then so we swedes, didn't you get tough, you just it's it's there

no cliche. You ve seen it on posters and stuff, but you never know how strong you are. So you have to be an and that's what boot camp? gave me an fraternity. Like you know, I mean When you submit yourself to a big hole when you say I'm going to be part of something: it's not just my world, I'm gonna submit and become of a part of this bigger whole. It It can be inspiring, gambie, awesome and again be something them. drives you but here when you find yourself in a scary moments it it's the it's, what builds character its. What makes you The who you are it's, what makes you a man, whatever that means, I hope we can make jokes, but that all day, but its will makes you adult it's part of the maturation process and so you really you don't know you don't know how strong you are until you have to be. You know it's. It's

we're living off your parents and you're twenty six years old. You got a fucking problem, you need to get out of the house, you need to go, live on your own and that and it's going to suck at first that's the thing about responsibility and growing up is, it's hard, that's what you're trying to do at early you trying to do when you thirteen fourteen fifteen years old, because you know, then you have some help. If you're trying to do to twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven! You're in a her locker you're you're gonna be bombed out. So the sooner you start, the better off your life's gonna, be as far as taken responsibility so what kind of what kind of high school. Are you are you as you exit high school and go into like what kind of it's why I went to I I when I graduated from high school and I went to kansas university and from in while I was in Kansas university. I went to the marines So are you remember my buddy went to boot camp? He was our authority for young drug drawing a by whose name has since passed. Here that version.

and so on, but. He came back yoked like ripped and sean and he was a different dude. He was He was like. You could see it in his eyes, UK we went in soft and pudgy. It came out a man so like and I remember seeing that going back to me to my friends when I got back to when I got back to school, could you go during the summer? so your summer was spent at boot camp. Two summers spent a book into summers minute boot, the officer candidate school same thing as bootcamp. Only difference is they're trying to get rid of you really yeah, so you so so go to university. Kansas joy authority have fallen, have funds pledged year, social out just blast out, not only like. I got the whole. pimps up hose down parties. Our daughter, I remember that because of appropriation when we didn't know what it was and then you go you decided to go to

yeah. I did. I I didn't know what I wanted to do. I was a polly sigh major, the time, but I really want to be a theatre fuel, major. What are, but I knew I had a. I had my pilots licences when I was an underground to fly. so I was about to happen. While my grandfather was, he was he wanted to be an aviator in world war two, but he was too short, so they made him an intel officer eighth army air corps, and he always one flanders pissed off that he be because even pissed about it. So when I, when I got up to school, he was like he's like hey. If you want to learn how to fly up I'll I'll pay for your pilot's license so well, you know what the fuck am I going to say. I was like yeah I'll take that deal and so I did in kansas, is a great place to learn to fly. It's the flattest state recede, so the whole state's a runway. You know if anything went wrong. I just fucking set it down anywhere So it is a great place to learn to fly. I felt very confident everytime. I went up

It was our learn on flat, but I took this test called the equality of pay, our test, and I did well enough tat. I get a guarantee fly contract with the marine corps and iran. The truth is I I did. There was a part of me that wanted to serve. You know I wanted to know. If I could do it. I was very patriotic guy. I wanted to serve and So I knew that can be part of my life. So budgets did it when I also knew I wanted to do comedy and acting. I just didn't know how or when or if I'd ever grow enough balls to go for it. To be honest- and I did I eventually did ball up and go for it. So so, what's like if you can walk me through the camp tat bit because fascinated by book. I'm sure there's a lot of guys that I oh, I hope, If you don't know, I'd, be really excited to introduce you to meaning, like I don't know them personally, but in online, like a tim Kennedy, TIM Kennedy now, jocko will nick, oh, my god, I'm going to I'm going

give you a list of guys, I think you'll really connect with because they move a lot of law, that would not have how you not of the same ideals that you have and I think they're very similar menu in a different vein, but I think you'll really dig. 'em jocko has got a really great pocket jacket by jacqueline timur, probably the two most inspirational guys, both ex navy seals but they're just like tim's. really fun to follow on his cage. Writer. Oh Jesus, like you baby, but he was, as our he's alpha he's a hard core domain. I really think you guys we're he's not he's regular. Do you just as much mindsets? Little different like yours is very sum of yours. Like the recent on because of twenty six. If I wasted here, you know he's like a guy like you get up into a jacko is famous for or on his instagram. He just post the picture of his watch when he starts to work out and if it we're twenty in the morning, every like for twenty two-

and the many shows you the cows on his hands. He is a joggers bad ass, mother fucker. He sells extremely motivated budget discipline. Viewed argued for both jack was a great progress and I think he's in san diego, and I that would be a I mean. I know well enough bees on Jos, biogas to bunch so just if you could spirits of of boot camp like your first day or for. Weaker. First, like the things that stick out to you Well off your kids school for the marine corps is different than bouquet boot camp. You sign up and you son, papers and the marine corps basically owns you for four years you got a book camp in that yes, they're gonna make you a marine corps, heck or high water, you show up fat. You show up not ready, you sure, whatever they'll just put you through camp twice until you do graduate like you're going there got you object schools different! That's more!

screening and evaluating process, so they are, you show up and you have to earn the right to stay. You don't get just be an officer. You have to their screening and evaluating you and there looking to cut you looking to send you home So it's really a trial in the end it so it's different, and in that sense the book, the pressures different. Luke haphazard there and they ll they'll just feel just run into your fuckin ready to go I'm scared, who you better show up, fuckin, ready and read. Way to go in with your head, shrewd on straight and you better be self motivated and- we fed and all those things and you better have a sense of yours. often leadership and all yet the dead, there's, no time to teach and I was green. I was his fuckin green as they come. I'm a kid. You know what the fuck do. I know

I've never served. I hadn't done anything, but I I did as much prep work as I could. I got as ready as I could, and I I went it's in quantico virginia you. You know you you land dear you're, in your civilian clothes. You know you got on khakis a gull shirt and you you go. and other it's it's very disorienting, because its everything's by the numbers were moving. You get on the bus, get all sit down here. Don't you know, If so, you just kind of everything's, new and scary, so you're, just kind of out of your element, your adrenalin cooking, and you don't even realize it it's kind of this undercurrent of adrenalin and then the first neither processing and are you get in lay they process you all night, like stripes likes you literally or carrying your blair, yeah you're, exactly as you show up with jackson you got no, you are nothing nothing or you don't bring a suitcase

will you bring a you, bring a small little suitcase like legs trot legs to brush and stuff. Even that, though, pretty much is screened and evaluated. Do you realize how this disarming that would be in this day and age? For someone to go? Oh no people wealth. I want to pick on millennials because a satellite now not on your cause, you know me, I'm always gives the day I've lost my shit with that. Like I'm, like, I said, I'm obsessed with going like that you know it s us as I more is. Its videos at my daughter's love. It's this! It's this! It's who eating they make their mouths and The sound of people eating set a fetish due note. What kids do just get entertain these days, almost how they we ve lost a whole generation of americans. Do I watch this video. I watch online the world's satisfying video. It's got forty million views. I'm gonna be talking about this, always the guy cutting through foam cutting through foam cutting

foam cutting through foam and then they have a thousand matches and they lighted and all matches that about their work. The videos is some pulling the seal off of a brand new iphone. And that is what That is what entertains millennials. This is, this is: the state of america at things. America are so fuckin good right now that we have any fuckin problems. None if the kind of shit that entertains and gets people's attention, that's where people spend their attention was, Oh for we're, so good what we have no problem. One of the videos is a guy. These skimming salmon, his you're watching a man work, and that is really that's a job can get a job of your internet. You could get a job for me. This is like idiosyncrasy it sounds like any accuracy too I'm.

I'm going to say something you will not agree with. That is really it's an aggressive statement, but I feel like this country needs, is a war I know. You're, not you agree with that. There was a war cause. I don't know what war really is. I know you've been over there a bunch but like I think that would bring everyone back to gretel to you not. I understand, I understand what you're saying. I understand your motive that yes tell him, I'm wrong. What were you going to say when you say like when I said you show up with nothing the idea that you'd have that you have a small little suitcase with a change of clothes, but once you get there you're in you're severely, they keep you in the same civilian clothes that you had on and you basically after about twenty four hours, they finally start sending you through the uniform line and you get. Your is two pair of boots. You get shore to pat, you know said a utilities, and

it's all it's all front loaded. As far as getting your name tapes, you have two central, your own name, tapes. They so amounting god, but they you know, you have in all happens and that first night or whatever you just get all you should squared away language. Then a shave, your head, and they do it all its very fast I drink out of a fire hose. It's all disorienting. It's all. Perhaps and quickly and and your used to be, you know, what's going on, not to mention they. They turn up this stress level a little bit with with jill instructors, whoa whoa whoa. You know they're bargain that you're like fuck me. You don't want to make any mistakes, but you don't know what the fucking rules are and shit is happening. They they tell you, you will do this. You will do that. You will not do that. You will not do that. Is that understood, as are other alright move you're like fuck? What did he say? You're you're, and it's all that is part of it. You know that it's all part of it. They try to get you off balance. They tried, but it's part of the breaking down stripping down. But you know you you're no longer an individual. Now you part of this machine and they

strip that away and and and now you just and they they want you to be able to understand, orders and how to respond to orders in an instantaneous and da da da Da Da. You have to be a good follower before you can be a good leader, so you have to understand how to move groups of people from the in the classroom to the mess hall from the. from the job back down to the parade? Dec and if you try to do a willy nilly, are you lose control people ship? There's, like a bunch of copies running around you know, so you have to. There is a reason why you have drill and bluff face port armed move margin needed so that its It's a process of learning and ended, but you have to learn rapidly and and at the three week mark they make? first round of fuck use your gone, you're gone you're gone really on oh yeah, they Borgia, we all know, lawyer, how similar is that to getting a shop top or not picked up

it's it's way, more stressful, believe it or not more stressful yeah, but they they do they they they at at the three week. There's a We weak borders a six week, board a nine weak and then a twelve weak board and they will all three of those boards. If you get called before the board, no one ever comes back. Yeah go out there and try please your case to the to the boss. Man like, you're, not a bigger blogger, because I, like my thanks for coming, by holy shit. So my platoon, we have, we started with sixty four officer candidates and regret, when a thirty two. Certainly willing at fifty percent attrition. While she was what was the most scared you were in boot camp like what was the point where you're like? Oh, I think, I'm about to break. I never I never had. The feeling I was gonna break

mentally or anything. But I was scared. Now, I'm not saying I was cockney long island there was. There was fearful moments. I think I screwed up a land navigation course. You only allowed to failures at anything whether to written test, whether it A failed inspection with your rifle weathers is junk on the bug, inspection, whether it in the field exercise, whether it's a physical fitness exercise. You know like if we do a pft and you fail. The pft means for physical fitness test. We do a combat conditioning course or if we do there's a there's, a dozen physical fitness things. Often of course, all you so every day is a final exams. Every single day. You're there you, if you fail any of them, you europe it's skyline. If you fail to times you get boarded so I ve failed, like I think I screwed up the land navigation it was land navigation course. But these mailboxes out them out in the woods and you have to

your compass and you shouldn't ass myth, and then you have to go, find that little mailbox in the woods and you're doin overrun down hills through valleys over creeks. You know, at night in your you're trying to an end If then, you find the mailbox and on the mailbox is written in number than you have to write down that number, then, from that mailbox that you get the next as many have to shoot another as myth and head off into the woods to find the next mail box in the next few months, the next mailbox so anyway, I managed to dig it up and I found the wrong mailbox or whatever and and and then I got set off on a course of a bunch of wrong when so anyway. I think I failed that night course Well, then, then I mean I can't fail anything else. I can fuck anything else for the remainder of the time a meadow says, so I remember I was very nervous because closer to drill was hard for me, I was new to it like the prior. Unless a guy's dead dead already been through boot camps, for they knew probe closer to drill pretty well, I didn't one of them

you have to do. Is you have to get out in front of the protein and lead them in closer to drill? So you know, you have to run them through a series of drills. You know we're gonna It starts out. You have. The card is like a little three by five cardinal says: are I we're gonna step off? You know we have em, do right shoulder arms. In a la face march. left oblique right turn your you have all these things that you have to run them through. Well, if you say it on the wrong foot or do it on the wrong foot or give the command at the wrong time you're gonna run your vulcan platoon into a wall or they're gonna be out of step beneath its turns into a clusterfuck It was very precision, so I knew that I was not good at this and I knew I couldn't afford to fail anything else. So, as got closer to the fire. You did the exam on that the review I volunteered to take more fire drill. Fire watch because

night we're gonna. We hurried hours, you had a mandatory and our sleeping a well readily with zero. Four hundred, you know we want bed legged violent, o eight o clock, and then you once you are in your rack, you couldn't get out of iraq. Unless you are on fire watch this review. Fire watch than you could walk up and down the squad bay. Well, I would walk up and down the squad by practising my drill practicing The wind to give the prefatory command when italy execution commando what foot all this stuff. Now whilst an hour of sleep which, by the way sleep is worth gold at lcs because they run you so fuckin ragged. You know you. When you get in iraq, you just fall asleep as you're just out and about give up an hour every fortnight and volunteer to take firewall, so I could get my fuckin drill down and it paid off and I did great on the drill really yeah, but it cost me an hour of sleep every night, but also everybody in my platoon thought. I was fucking great because it's like this fucking guy's, an idiot he's volunteering for fired. You know, watch jerk off

I would take other guys firewall, maybe like thank you because they want to sleep. But I knew if I didn't for, can do it fail and I wouldn't graduate so you just make your choices, make your decisions wow that yeah, you know it's amazing. As I hear you talk about it, I realise how Ingrained that experiences and your dna like, like you know,. When you there I there was a you're. The timer is obsessed with the videos of marine, getting called out by real marine at target. You ever see those I've heard about them. Yeah, that's stolen valor, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. There was a guy there's a guy who's doing stand up at it out of also the city, but there's guys, do stand up. Who is talking? about marine onstage but who's doing it. For the applause break, I am sure. Maybe he did something but, he was at the bar. I was at the bar and there was a marine. There was. I said some like what

What does not. Are you in the guide didn't know the right way and immediately the guys like yo in and it's it's it's it's like saying: hey, do you speak spanish and someone goes oh yeah see, and then they say something in spanish. Like I actually really speak, spanish but I would win when you talk like this. Are here I'll ingrained it isn't your dna. Our war. Was it too what was your instinct when you got out of this experience and got into comedy and realized what an altar The world comedy is what instinct with she sharing that side of yourself with them. With the marines. No with with comics legs, I'm gonna call me I was a meat head like I was I I was. I was the number one party animal in the country, love at rolling stone magazine wrote a six page article about me, calling me that one party and when the country oliver stone watching all my life, I was the number one. I was the number one party animal like it was.

was a big deal. How do they? That is also by the way, how how will it? How did they gauge there? What's the criteria with the metrics vigil wrote an article about me that they, they were women today must follow me around. That would support a state to write an article about about in a bomb at school and their liquidity. like a liaison and so the nay they called around and a bunch of people said. Oh you gotta stay with bert. You should stay with bert and then he called me and I was in the middle of a bong hit and he was like. Oh my god. This is like written the stars, man yeah and he was like It- was like: oh my god, you're taking a bong it and I was like yeah, he looked before we go again say for a week- and I just party with them- you know like this- is before the internet. Really, so you couldn't do you like, If you add someone there, you did stuff with them, you can I just selling your couch right. How do you? How do you interact with the people you were with? I remember those days. I spoke to this man for seven days straight and he was like and then

came back in their like worries the article about you and so the article I said I wanted to be comedian. and once in tell and then I was like fucking move to new york, but when I got to new york I was acutely aware of how how different My upbringing was than everyone else I like and getting there. I was like a member. and I remember realized. I generally read a book. I am sure that you'd read books and stop alike, I am really read books and I did get references. The people said like, and I was like woe like things that were like. I remember I said fag end: we say faggot onstage and I was like I was I mean you could really. I think people did, but in the village you didn't you definitely. gay, jokes and I was like That was like the bang, us you're gay, unless your guy and I was a member of a mere like what

Friends, coming up and be alike more one of my friends, I don t like black, jokes, racist jokes, about blogger people like him, and I think that that part of life that happened in Florida doesn't have been everywhere and so like what part of you going into? U c b was like almost like. I don't know if this is but I can only imagine that being a marine, you c b is almost a hindrance as opposed to like had you been no o. My parents were both transgender used to be like ok, if it- and you know I mean you know absolute actually the opposite really yeah I got to I to new york. I was still on active duty came so I was actually is that almost like is almost like, not having your visa cleared. Like you, never know. If you can feel like you're at home. Oh yeah, yeah no means you're you. You are full time active duty. You're, not you know in the reserves you're, not they don't just call you! You are subject to your marines.

when for seven so I. I was a captain at the time I moved up there from north carolina and with the intent of pursuing comedy and acting? so when I gotta, but I dont know jack shit. I don't know anything. I just knew I was in new york and I was too it was time to try this and So I I remember the first thing I did. I found a stand up. The key what's your on the upper east side and There was a guy there. How dj's, I want to say, like DJ sweeney. Oh Jesus, really nice guy now he's fine, but he was teaching a stand up class right, so I was like well. This is where it begins. This is where the journey begins. so I went in and and paid my money, I sat down and I'm sitting in the thing and I'm all excited because this is happening. Then I've got my high and tight. You know I'm still active duty marine, so I was, I would work in my marine office right there in manhattan for

seventy five every day and then I go home like everybody else, and I would but I would go pursue comedy so I went down to capture lie. I always visualized comedies- stand up the way I want to do. It was more storytelling like eddie murphy delirious. that's what I grew up. Seeing and thinking this is amazing or bill cosby himself telling stories you know those were the those were. Amazing to me and Dj was of the school of three jokes per minute: stand up a set up, punch set upon set a punch in that's how we do comedy kids- and I remember thinking well, but that's not how I want to do it. I want to tell stories- and and I was green. I was naive. I'd really never done this kind of stuff before and I was scared, and so you know when you're in that situation, guys your teacher, you'd colonel you,

acquiesce to what he has what he wants, and so I I kind of shelved what I secretly wanted to do what I thought it was me. and I tried to do at his way and I hated focused In fact I was due to the worst whether these data- I was- I I don't even know how to write this stuff. I don't even know so. I was coming up with just. What I considered corny happy average shit. Well, This class you get to get up and give due a five minute show. That's your thing and you gotta bring some people are a fact that I was a bringin anybody. I didn't want anybody to know about this fuck, your worst part of rigorous, as is when you at your word. You tell your friends, I'm like I'm. No one seen me until I'm ready for someone to see me, but ass they did bring. People together should be here any minute, fuck you, I'm not I didn't know anybody. I didn't know. I just fuckin moved a town. You know I want to tell it to marines my office now. So I was like art

So I got up and I did it his way and I remember getting up that stage and I had an adrenaline rush. Wash over me. TAT I had never had before, and it made me light headed. It sounds silly, but I it was really. It was a fight or flight type of adrenalin rush and I couldn't fight and I couldn't run and I had to stand there. And so it actually turned into more of a fight than a flake. As I couldn't leave, I was on stage so it turn into of that kind of. I had just do it and they ve, The tape you back in this back in the late nineties, so they ve, you take three I came off the stay. Age and really unaware of what happened. I mean it sounds so, no, no, not really. I was kind of unaware of what happened here. The handed me, the vhf tape and I went sat at the bar and I order jack and coke double it and I fuckin

power drill, a drink, languages, coke and ip? Where did home, and I was like fuck then I thought that sucked I hate as I made the biggest mistake, I'm alive because I quit flight school in the marines. that I could set myself up to pursue comedy and acting so I was like I just fucked up. I could be flying planes right now. I could be flying. flying fuckin top gun, and what am I doing sitting up here in new york, I just fucked up. I fucked up. This is bad news because I dont want to do that anymore. The fear was way more than I thought it was going to be the com I didn't like the style I just I was like nothing fits. This is like a small shirt have to wear it out in public about fuckin aided. So I'm down on myself, I'm down on the whole thing I go back. I watched the age ass. It went fine It was not as bad as I had made it out to be, but I was so unaware of myself like as that

the look you gave and that's the things you said and those rear. Ah I don't remember any of it like it was. I was just trying to get through the damn thing So anyway, I'm down I'm out, I'm bummed out. Lamenting to a couple close friends and one of the friends I'm lamenting two says you know I got a friend you should reach out to him and talk to him about comedy, because I think he could maybe help as I. at that point of desperate. So my yahoo yeah is my friend Dave kouchner, well. Then I go. I go okay, but I go. He does what he doesn't have. Time talked to me he's on Sarah alive. He, like This is like the most annoying thing I could do to the sky, but like, I said, I was fuckin desperate, and this was close personal friend you also it was. There was a good action. It wasn't like It was still a comical silly.

Ok, so I fuckin called and said: hey dave, I'm sorry to bother you rob I'm a friend is so and so. anywhere. They said I I believe it may be held me as far as just standing where I should start as I'm trying to get started in this business or in comedy or whatever and Dave couldn't have been more patient and more understanding he's like our. I will use. What do you do and tell me what you do inside? I said, I told the store that I just told you he goes are well shit. He goes need to try improv? These sounds like That's what you are maybe looking for, and I said well yeah in algeria. I thought I was gonna go to second city in chicago and also from. He will listen. I've got some friends that literally just moved out here last year, started a little theatre. In our downtown or whatever in the called the upright citizens brigade the. U c, b, o my god, that's the

they're at the very beginning. So I was like I was like okay and he goes go down. They they do show every sunday night called ass cat go down and out the show- and if you like what you see gourbi talk to the guy's afterward matt walls, besser amy polar. in you, these guys tell when you're friends may they know me, and I think I am not mistaken: their teaching classes and sub. So if you like, we see, go talk to him and said o four classes, so I went down and I watched their ass catch do this. Is this? Is outliers yeah it? Really it's not about privilege that just happens to be a water you're. Looking, direction the time that I would or you for the most important people in improv, comedies gets comedy are low king, to give direction that, fucking amazing, I was it wasn't it was. It was wonderful, it was. It was a very lucky.

and I hate to use luck because people know, I believe, not more than artwork. Do you oh yeah. Well, I think there is both. I think, there's both there's. I think you work hard to put yourself in a position for luck to occur europe Agree with that, but I I frustrated, and I use categories examples you. I know him he's a friend of mine, but I use kevin orders example light firstly what I see talk about hard work is the reason he's successful now Aren't you does work hard? He works are in any way ever everything but There are a lot of people that work really hard. The arts successful. Do they have the talent causes and has a lot of factors not just be hard. Work can't just be hard work, but man lock is running neck and neck with hard work. Well, there's that there's again more cliches out there, but one of them is luck is preparation meeting opera. tunisia is,

when preparation meets opportunity. That's luck. Well, preparation is just another where for hard work. You know you get your ass! You get yourself prepared by work hard and working your craft and working at your comedy and working at your skills and and working at networking and meeting people and all that preparation. Eventually you do all that crap work opportunities will present themselves now, whether you make most of those whether you fuck those up whether your addictive people You show up drunk whether you sure you're, all those are what that's what you make of it, but if you are prepared, those opportunities, will present themselves now, if you make most of it. There's your luck and there's your fuckin, that's how you get a break and that's how you and then, once you get one break You're not finish line you're, not done. That's just one fuckin break lumber. You need more log out of the build on them. You need another break in another break in it and that just and so it never stops. When I

god sat or know why that was the first gig I ever got right. I mean I was too there's back from Afghanistan hold on hold on hold on hold on get me to wait hold on one. Second, you went to Afghanistan, yes, okay, hold on okay, so you're going to do you CB, okay, yeah! So anyway, so I go down and watch the ask headshell easy b- and It was like I was Jim belushi at the triple rock and blues brothers. You know the sun. The light came through and hit me and I was like: do you see the light? Yes because it really was one of those moments where I was like this is amazing. They were so fucking funny. So fucking powers is, ninety would have been ninety seven, those I just moved to new york, seven, the if I I would argue, had I discovered an improv first, probably never gotten into stand up.

I didn't even know that was a possibility, because I think that is what that's how I was when I shall. I thought I gotta do stand up. That's how it is. I got I when I did stand about. I was a lot like you in the sense that I did not I didn't know how to write said approach. I couldn't even yeah, my head around it. By now, I can tell you a story like and so like. My first joke was about taking acid going to disneyland, but it wasn't a joke. I remember people telling me you're not doing it right and I was like I had to do it. The way you do it, I can tell you at an eight minute story by the way as a open, mic or yeah like I can tell you a story and then that. I I think I did that when I started and then I got beaten into writing jokes and that's that special, comfortably dumb is more more jokes than I would ever put in my last special there's, no fucking jokes, there's not there's others to jokes, but like that, Would you jokes because it's in the story of me telling a job well, There's so much truth. Doing just said, like telling a story is great and that's how I like to do it too. I want my stuff was all personal stories, but

is an element where you can be self indulgent, you can't just be like I'm going to tell you a story that I love about me. No, you have to fill it out with some fucking humor and you have to fill it out with some comedy and some surprises and you have to be like you can't just be. Oh, I have a great story, great? We all have great stories now. Can you make it funny? and so there is, there is a mixing of the world's it's. It's always a hybrid everything's, a fuckin hybrid and saw. How long will you and you should be before like before you before you gotta get to stay. Oh shit, I mean I was in. I started well that night after us all ass cat. I went right up afterwards and I was I was so impressed and blown away. I went wrong. up to mouthwash, set high embargo am a friend of Dave collectors and he goes. Oh yeah Dave said you might be swinging by and I was like yeah I want to take classes. When do we start? Well, shit man, we were, we teach. We have three levels level, one two and three

secure sign up gimme your email address will get you in the next wave your. How much is it is like a weeks three hundred bucks or something I was you know I I was I was so fuckin in it was unbelievable and that's it and I took the only offered three levels back then and I took all three levels twice. So I could get all for teacher, so I could get besser so I could get walls, so I could get eaten robert, so he get Amy polar as teachers. I wanted to learn all I wanted to learn from all of them. I wanted to learn their philosophies, their styles. You know how the approach things everything because it was this week wonderful world and I did ok, you know like I got up and I'll improvised a scene and I could strap on a character. I could. I just instinct surely knew that world in Now it was wrong. I made mistakes and I fucked up, and I did things it, but that's all part of the learning is crawl. Walk run. You know you got to start somewhere.

I learned and I grew and after I didn't courses, I got on a house team and then start playing with them that we started writing sketch, shows and then teaching there and then- I like all this was happening now, while that's happening, I'm still on active duty in the marines, so I got called at. I had to go over to albania to help with the Gee crisis there, and then I went into Kosovo to keep the peace. Thereafter, we bomb the shit out of them, my god, I completely forgot about coastal yeah, so I was- and I was in so I had to take me- and I think I was gone for four or five months there that time then came back and then nine eleven happened. And I was I had just left active duty, but I was still in the reserves, so my reserve unit was in manhattan. I was the only reserving in manhattan, so I was activated the night of September eleventh and they closed the bridges in the tunnels. We report. My unit was called up on the night of september eleven. The said tomorrow morning. You report ground zero in. utilities

boots and utes and we're going to start meet at one police plaza and we'll go in from there. We're gonna start working on the rubble piles oh from water frowning, is a temporary in life. Experience September, twelve to the eighteenth I worked on, I worked out a ground zero on the rubble on the bucker brigades moving rubble by hand and buckets because there were so stories of rubble. You know it was the whole downtown area was. Is it was dust? It was papers and it was it was ruined and burned out of, our vehicles and it looked like look upon a post apocalypse dick it looked like I think I've ever seen before and on a mass of real scale. Wasn't a hollywood said it was It's unbelievable, horrific. Actually we knew thousands of producers, a graveyard for thousands of people. and we did know if there were any survivors underneath the all this rubble and we couldn't bring in heavy machinery for

you're cavan, because we thought there might be people under their twenty six of the time. Twenty. Now, I'm thirty, and I was I was still a captain, and so we work we work down there for a while and then when they move me up to one, please ploughs. So I could help coordinate the military civilian efforts because then they started doing surgeon. recovery as opposed to search and rescue. and anyway so I was. I was Everybody was passed in amerika. We just got sucker punched in the worst way possible, I was an every. I don't know if you remember that time, it's very tricky, but if you think back to that time, everybody wanted to do something everybody wanted to do something. Can I give blood? Can I give clothes? Can I get food like everybody wanted to contribute in some way, while I was a captain in the marine corps, you know I I knew I could contribute. I had of. I had a green badge, which is a very high security clearance for my job. I knew they were going to need people. You know we were about to start something big. It was very clear

you don't get to just fuckin attack america and not no repercussions, there's saga and so I knew they were gonna need people. So I volunteered to go back on active duty. I put my hand in the air Jesus you, okay, that okay, here's what I've been looking for. This version, of pass the mediately. I will Think, and I I'm say this allowed loud. To be shit, but I would definitely go far I'm doing so goodness business. Why now like jointly I'm gonna give up on my dream too, because these assholes bombed building here, but it I hear what you're saying, but it was bigger than that it was. You know to me. But I didn't mean, emulated, go and volunteer like I didn't, like you look like guys like ipad tillman, who give up their dream to serve a bigger purpose and you go and I look at them admirably go. I don't know if I got that

yeah, I'm selfish. I am the problem with this country- nordic, not by definitely our nick. Definitely I just bought a gun, I'm definitely a problem with the country but like, but like I would do I would. I would been torn of someone said. I am I'm just being honest, I don't know if it's accurate, I don't know, I don't remember, but if someone said you need to put your comedy career on hold to go to afghanistan. I would have been like I'm gonna lose momentum. You guys don't understand how important momentum is. yeah. You know I I don't know what it was, but I just out. Oh no, I felt it was a moment in history. It was It was. The biggest thing was probably we're gonna happen. You will have to defend the plate or not only look at me, I'm just trying to explain where I was coming. I think it was just like you're just one of those duties. Well, Whatever was, I did volunteer, so I then they didn't take long. Central command picked me up on november. Tenth, which I remember, causes the marine corps birthday. I read wanted to central command

Before wishes in charge of the middle east, that central command a killer force. Persia exactly reported there on november seventeenth- and in november thirtieth. I was in afghanistan This two thousand one so moved. Ok, woe you're, not you're like first fee in Afghanistan early I was in first, but I was definitely one of the early. We we hadn't even taken the southern part of the country. Yet I, when I got there, we were in Missouri Sharif in the northern afghanistan. For an interesting story and I'll try to make it give the readers digest version. So they sent me forward? I was a captain the time they sent me forward. I ended up joining the third battalion fifth special forces group, which is an army unit and I'm a marine, but I came from central command, so it's one big happy purple family So I end up joining this unit right working for them in a public affairs civil affair capacity. bring out the commanding officer there who was lieutenant colonel bowers

and I used to brief from every morning- use debris brief. Every evening then I would go out in town, I work with local rulers and work with the local the heads of vienna, the whatever communities, whatever ban and the warlords and I would try to help kid school. His roads, redone I'll, try to help them with their life, winning hearts and minds type stuff so anyway, cut to this year. Movie comes out called twelve strong, its bout, the third time for special forces group gaza going to Afghanistan. First guys in Afghanistan presumes worth my campagna Michael shannon we're all in it Their story, which is about their fight when we joined the northern alliance, took the fight to the taliban and there. Story takes place in october. Two thousand one and I arrived in november, two thousand one, so I am in that movie, twelve strong and I

way lieutenant colonel max powers. My former boss, the guy that I used report to every day. shut the fuck thought of this a week when you went into this and you're like. I think I got the heart, I think I know the guy. I think I know I'm going to be a little nuance, that you will remember. He used to drink coffee like this yeah I like it. I didn't have to audition for, but I I did I did have a very personal connection with the character. How awesome is that? So it's a very it's a weird random small world type story, but anyway, going back to where we talked about. I did my year and I went owed. I served in Afghanistan. I went over. There twice from my from macdill father in law, is drilling into the fucking wall. Next to us, so I hear, and then I came home was the flight like afghanistan from mcgill its law Is it but what will come? It's broken up. You're, like a sea, seventeen ursus eyes out like a comparable to liquor, assumption

sub enter its see. Five is its massive air cargo plan they can fit. brad leaves and tanks and stripped down helicopters and embassies. Bad. Fine there, nothing special, you know, but it is what it is. You get up a move around alone, which is nice. I think we fly you flowery germany and in germany to turkey than turkey on and afghanistan. So it's like a lotta leg, six long time, I actually went through. It was becca, stand in decay, two and then down and so cause there. It was, but it's a whole long shot anyway. I got back. At the end of two thousand and two, any two thousand three go back to new york and then I got on Sarah alive in two thousand for, So when you come back, are you you done the marine, no, I'm still I'm still in the reserves, but I get to tell him. I have dreams, also now

Oh care, little games like how do you like? How can you like back you're still the reserve, but you know you're not going back now so you audition, Brazil reliably gets are alive, the biggest we'll probably have any comedian. That was one of those. It was one of the reasons I set out on this on that journey was, I wanted to be on Sarah life and you get Saturday night live. How do you the garret like. How do you tell them like he just see notices. Please also me back. I'm really uncle sam don't give a shit, about my dreams, shot up, though they don't care at all. but I did just do, a. U. I just got recalled. I did a year. It would be very hard for them to recall me again right away. It will be difficult to be very difficult to do that. So? I kind of felt like I had a window of time and

so anyway. So I I won't, but I was back now. I had done my year tour and now I'm I'm I'm just going to go back and pick up where I left off, which is pursuing comedy and acting full throttle man. I am like that. I'm just so funny. There I always thought we were similar guys and I think there are similarities. Her man you're, very different. Cut of human being? I must selfish as far as, They all are vital. It's like people go like people always say to me I'll drink you under the table. I go. I don't think you know what you're getting up again like I've. I'm like we're doing. I guess you can't say it, but anyway, I'm not, I don't think I am as selfless as you I don't what what was your audition for Saturday night live? Like was painful, you you rather than the way they do it is they are released,

here. I did it and I think that they do it pretty consistently, but they then- by people from all over the country. They go to the brain right, people from l a basically lauren and the time like shoemaker and Higgins and tina there, the big Do the head shed so to speak, the head rider and them producers and the kind of walk around and they talk to the writers and they talk to the cast. and they say you know hey who should be looking at. who who's out there that we need to know about, and bilbil feedback. You know the right as well say me. Your or you know, I think it was horatio sands and Amy poor said yeah I'll- take a look at rob wriggle. that's how I got the invite audition and and so I am very grateful that so I that's how you get the opportunity. I got the invite What they do is they go around I'll invite? people from allay five people from chicago couple. People from toronto, maybe now cut people from vegas

Whatever your boy asked five to seven minutes is that's what they want to see if you're an improvised or they wanted. You do three characters and three impersonations, one minute monologues for each so an advisor, so I was like alright, so I gotta create three characters and do three impersonation mom that impersonators, so I'm more of a character guy. So up I'll do two I mean I cannot, I was view, will pharaoh's george w bush? That's why the characterisation the area without you know, then a

I was a big guy at the time, so I was like I can pull off a football player so that Just I did some bit about that. You know here is basically him apologizing for his remarks and talking about how much he loves working out with the dudes, and it was basically oh how much how gay was how gay he was. But anyway, so I I tried to show this range of characters and timeliness and data on I, and I I did my shit. I did six minutes and I got the fuck off the stage and that's all you can do.

That is definitely one of the moments in my life, where I was like I felt like I did something had set a goal and accomplished it again, really tremendous odds, and but I did it and it was this wonderful feeling how washed over man it was very peaceful and then it wasn't he's. What is feasible and it was arts and its work is then it was getting more and then you know, and again this was my first fucking gig sarah.

First gig, you know talk. I could averse couldn't first kick minors on effects. I have I been talk about green. I couldn't be any fucking greener. You know I couldn't be in this business, so It was what was osmond now look. I only did a year there and but was a glorious year, I had a great time. I learn so much. I made great friendships. I feel like I deserve a second year. It didn't happen for a multitude of reasons, which I stand, but I dont know Any ill will or anything like that, and I was because then I got to go into the daily show and in so doing her platform at that time in cairo was, but it was. It was just ass. It was, I got I'm I'm I'm a member of that CERN alive fraternity, my picture on the wall, I'm an alarmed. I can go back for after parties, city and I can go to the show. I can do things, it's it's it's erie, it's nice, mistress, nice and

I got in and I got out before I got to say because a lot of people go on their shown you they get. They beat up in on racism. Yeah and you never here from a more see him again or there, never quite the same committee equally or whatever it is I feel like I got the I got the best of both worlds on that deal. That's crazy! I'm going to make sure that we're eleven o'clock and know you gotta get outta here like fifteen, but I wanted to to that. I want to ask you to feel like fishing in the wrong hall, but feel like you're, they should with your grandfather seems like it was pretty tight. He was and it wasn't. He was his german farmer. You know get you don't get closer german for he was he was He was here he was a kid of the depression. He fought in war to heed where he went through so much in his life live in a rural missouri, We are born in nineteen, fifteen grown up

tough times really tough times just a dirt farmer in mid missouri and then going to war and dirt former well don't cry still yea area out and I'm so stupid. I thought he really reformatory harvest time. I don't like. I guarantee you there's a head, sir, who is who has a farmer? They just armies, etc that someone like diamond dumber, the worm store, but the union he toiled the land. Basically, you know he was a crop farmer and that's hard work back in nineteen twenties and thirties, and it was it was a tough tough time and then he went to war. That is reward. Was he went to war for four years and and I don't know he just, but was generous and he was great, just me and kind, but he he didn t fools and and he if you he was almost certain

for he, a thief You did them wrong. You didn't get a second chance. I'm not. I don't think I'm like that. I think I'm very forgiving year, but you're very, like you're an anomaly in this business. I know you have to know that yeah. As far as like my my my journey and being a man, There are a lot of men in this business there more than you know, there's, you run into one every now and then I'm juggling a man like like The kind of man who who who doesn't well shit when they drive their car because they know that what it's like to be punched, like there's a lot of men that live in this glass house where they feel like, I think, that's, probably the wrong analogy, but they feel like that This it's ok,

and humiliate another person on set or, for you know it's like I've. I've worked with some folks, like that. I know what you're saying there there there are some bad people out there. There's bad operators yeah, there's a lot in this business draws them civic doesn't because business is full of insecurity, full of insecurity and and the masculine way, Jen speaking to overcome, insecurity is by being a douche. And it said because what makes for great, acting and like- I know, trust me- I don't know shit, but what I've? What I've learned? My assessment of it is what makes for good acting is vulnerability. Being vulnerable, being open to your emotions, which believe me, I've marine officer, I've better half my life learning to master my emotions as far as control them, not master them in the sense that I can cry now. I can not cry could be happy now. It can be said. No, I'm talking about be

in control my facilities when someone pisses me off or dealing difficult person and trying to stay focused on the objective and not get down the weeds, unwanted fuckin fuck this guy over out, despite or whatever, but just trying to get where we need to go as a collective or get right. To go, and if I have to deal with this asshole, then I'll deal with them. So mastery emotion, but the truth is beautiful, being open to emotions, allowing yourself to touch the things that scare you are hurt. You that's where you that's all have you breakthroughs as far as acting goes, I think Do you do a lot of you? You are so tours adieu, I do just as the last one I the last big when I went on was a chris. To her, we hit six countries and six days I was with mega marco.

When you get on base, do you find yourself getting into old habits of like do people to hang on wait when you got on base? Do they have to salute you or are like no?

So I try to let them explain a lot to me, but I'm like I got it when you go up on stage. Do you do you have like material that just murders with them Yes and no. yeah, I kind of I do.
