54:00
I was shooting for a week. He wants to meet
54:02
you right now. I don't know why. They urgently drive
54:04
me there. And I walk onto
54:06
set and they're all there. Like, Kay,
54:08
Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, everybody.
54:10
And then Eli comes out. He goes,
54:12
hey, I just wanted to meet you, man. Dude, thanks
54:14
for doing it. He gave me a hug. Everyone
54:16
was super nice. Like, hey, we're gonna have dinner tonight.
54:19
You know what I mean? And then in my mind,
54:21
I'm like, oh, they're just regular people. But
54:23
in our minds, we build it up to this thing where
54:25
it's like, don't lock eyes with them, or you might go,
54:27
you know what I mean? You might be out, you know?
54:30
And you hear some of these nightmarish stories. You know, you've
54:32
heard that before. But it's like, that hasn't
54:34
really been my experience. I just, you know, you too,
54:36
right? When you're with Zac Efron and John
54:38
Cena, I mean. Those guys never talk to me. Not
54:42
one word. The whole filming is. Yes, they did.
54:44
You went to Russell Crowe's house? Yeah, we did.
54:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so are you
54:48
on set, the comic relief?
54:51
Are people coming to you? Are you Mr.
54:53
Like, personality? With that movie was a comedy.
54:55
And so, yeah, and Pete Fairley and I
54:57
were like, you know, I would stand around
54:59
him and just, we would pitch
55:01
each other jokes. I mean, that was like a, I've
55:04
never done a serious film in my life. So I
55:06
don't know. I don't know what that would feel like
55:08
to do like a real, for me,
55:10
it's everything I've touched is like a goofball. It's
55:13
wacky. So it doesn't, there is no pressure in that
55:15
regard. But. That's
55:18
an interesting point because Scorsese, it's
55:20
out of our, it's
55:22
not in our world, right? It's like,
55:24
you have, you're playing with the
55:26
greatest actors ever to live. You
55:29
know what I mean? I mean, and
55:31
I know you, you're a comedy star
55:34
comic. I saw you the
55:36
first time you ever went up. Remember
55:38
that? Remember that one time you came over with that
55:40
one line for that HBO show was I had somebody
55:42
with a plane or something and we
55:44
rehearsed it over. It wasn't even in that condo on
55:46
Beechwood, right? And I'm like, you're gonna get this
55:48
sad. And you didn't get it. And I remember you
55:51
being kind of bummed you didn't get it, right? But my point is, is
55:53
that, so this is the world you come
55:55
from. So I guess, you know, in many ways, it's a
55:57
little different what dealing with
55:59
Scorsese disadvantage.
58:00
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean,
58:03
when I did that movie, Hungry, Remember the
58:05
Shoes and what I said? So
58:07
I was, I show up to Budapest.
58:09
I don't know anybody and my agents were like, no
58:12
one's gonna hang out with you. You have a month there alone.
58:14
You're gonna be alone. So I show
58:16
up to my fucking hotel room and work the Four
58:18
Seasons in Budapest and I, there's a letter on my,
58:21
on my bed. Dear Bobby, you know,
58:23
I don't know you but
58:27
can you one have lunch tomorrow at noon. It
58:29
was by Jamie Lee Curtis, a huge
58:31
fan, right? I couldn't sleep
58:33
that night. I was like, what am I gonna say?
58:35
I gotta do something. You know, I think I rewatch Halloween or so I
58:37
don't know what the fuck I got. Right.
58:40
And I show up, pleasant lunch, then
58:42
some of the other actors show up and Jamie goes,
58:45
I want to show you guys something that's
58:47
very important here in Budapest. So we
58:49
walk over to the river. You know,
58:52
along this river, there's these bronze shoes that
58:54
are kind of like cemented into the fucking
58:57
ground and it's, you know, she explains
58:59
during Nazi Germany, the Germans came in
59:01
here and they killed a lot of
59:03
Jews and they threw them over
59:06
the, into the river. So one of the actors,
59:08
Cheyenne Jackson goes, oh
59:10
no, these are
59:12
baby shoes. Right. And like a fucking
59:14
moron, I go, it
59:16
could have been a... Well,
59:19
this is, this is reminiscent of Travolta.
59:21
Yeah, you're right. And then the whole
59:24
group walked away from it. Yeah. And
59:26
I went and they didn't get a laugh. And
59:28
I went, oh yeah, you're not at the store.
59:31
Right. You know what I mean? So I have
59:33
to literally like go, this is
59:35
Bobby, you know what I mean? In a movie,
59:37
this is Bobby amongst comics. And it's that kind
59:39
of stuff that keeps you out of Mitzi's office
59:42
at the end of the day. That's
59:44
kind of an alarm. I think that's what it is. That's really, yeah.
59:46
Yeah, I think that's what it is. That kind of stuff. So I
59:48
did read that wrong. It's a bad joke. It's a bad joke. It's
59:50
a bad joke, but also you were trying to lighten the mood. I
59:52
was trying to be funny. Give it some levity. Even
59:55
if I was at the comedy store. It
1:00:00
wouldn't have landed. It wouldn't have landed. No. But
1:00:03
that's because you're nervous. Yeah. I'm
1:00:05
nervous. I'm like, I want people to like
1:00:07
me. You know what I mean? I told you, I've said
1:00:09
this on here, but we've told this story, but same thing.
1:00:11
I had when Jim Carrey was my boss and I'm dying
1:00:13
up here and we were eating and
1:00:16
conversation was going great. It
1:00:18
was about comedy. So we're in our zone. You
1:00:20
know what I mean? Like it was perfect. It was like,
1:00:22
we're ping pong. And I was like, holy shit. He's telling
1:00:24
me guys he loved. I'm saying bits that I love from
1:00:27
guys from back in the day. And we're going back and
1:00:29
forth, back and forth. And then there was
1:00:31
like a little lull. And I was like, so where are you
1:00:33
like, where are you living these days? And he
1:00:35
was like, everywhere,
1:00:38
man. Where is everybody living? And
1:00:41
I was like, fuck. Fuck.
1:00:45
And it was an inescapable. I
1:00:47
don't get what he's saying though. He's trying to say dumb
1:00:49
question. I don't want to talk about it. Oh.
1:00:52
I'm going to tell you where I fucking live. Yeah.
1:00:54
It was like a none of your business.
1:00:56
A nice way of being like none of your business, a
1:00:58
little bit. Not that he wasn't so gracious.
1:01:01
I think it was a way of being like, I
1:01:03
don't really talk about where I live to people. Do you know
1:01:05
what I mean? In his mind, it's like. He could have done
1:01:08
like a Brentwood kind of a thing. I think he was just
1:01:10
goofing around a little bit, but it was a little like, hey,
1:01:12
come on. Yeah. We're
1:01:14
not going to get close. You know what I mean? He
1:01:17
was kind of like saying like, this is the one that's dinner.
1:01:21
Like do you text Robert De Niro or no?
1:01:23
No. So after you did two movies
1:01:25
with him. He played your
1:01:27
dad in, what's the family? About my father.
1:01:29
About my father? Right. And
1:01:32
after the premiere, after all that, you never talked to him
1:01:34
again. There might've
1:01:37
been one exchange of a text message,
1:01:39
but no, we didn't have that type
1:01:41
of relationship. You know, we did the scene.
1:01:43
He sat down at his chair
1:01:45
and I don't know, opened up a
1:01:48
noble and I was learning my life.
1:01:50
Well. So
1:01:52
there was never like, hey, you want to grab a bite after this? No.
1:01:56
Wow. No. Those guys also
1:01:58
are the age gap. They're seven. They've been
1:02:00
doing this for so long. They probably like a system.
1:02:02
A lot of those guys, they like it their way.
1:02:04
They kind of want to... Yeah,
1:02:07
but I'm doing the pitch today, right? I was like, they're
1:02:09
like, what actors do you think? And I'm low ball, like
1:02:11
people I can get. How
1:02:13
about the guy that's on NCIS or whatever it might be,
1:02:15
right? The eighth lead, right? I
1:02:18
mean, for him to go De Niro
1:02:20
is insane. Yeah, it's wacky. Did
1:02:22
you ask him personally or you went through agents and
1:02:24
stuff? No. We,
1:02:27
the producer of our film, had worked with
1:02:29
Robert before and they reached out to him
1:02:31
and said, hey, I got a script you
1:02:33
might well like. He read it. We got
1:02:36
wind from his team that he really enjoyed
1:02:38
it and he wanted to read it out
1:02:40
loud, get it up on its feet around
1:02:43
with a bunch of actors. So the
1:02:45
studio hired a bunch of actors in New York.
1:02:47
We all sat around the tables. You flew to
1:02:49
New York? Yeah. For a table room. No, he
1:02:51
walked. He walked in here. I
1:02:53
flew to New York. To fly to a city for a
1:02:55
table room, you would do that? If Robert fucked De Niro...
1:02:57
Yeah, you're right. You're right. Goes, hey,
1:02:59
kid, I need you in the Maldives in
1:03:01
an hour and a half on your own
1:03:04
dime. I'd be like, I will
1:03:06
fucking rent a private jet, Robert De Niro.
1:03:08
What level would you not do it? Let
1:03:10
me throw some actors. Kerry
1:03:12
Elway's. From
1:03:15
a Prince's bride. I
1:03:17
do love him. He's great. I need you
1:03:19
in New York right now. And
1:03:21
I would say, my sweet Wesley, I'm on my way. You
1:03:24
would say, yes, Kerry Elway's. I
1:03:26
don't know, man. What's the project? It's
1:03:28
a great movie. What is it? It's
1:03:30
a movie about... Do it in a
1:03:33
British accent. Hello. It's a movie about...
1:03:35
He's English. Kerry
1:03:39
Elway's is English? I
1:03:41
thought... His name's Kerry? I thought
1:03:43
it was a woman. You
1:03:46
don't know who Kerry Elway's is? No. He's Brita.
1:03:48
You've never heard of... He didn't
1:03:50
have one in the Prince's bride. Oh,
1:03:52
interesting. So his accent was different in a movie than it
1:03:54
is in real life. I didn't never seen an interview room,
1:03:56
so I don't know. So what about... What
1:03:58
have Seb called? 31
1:12:00
o'clock spot. So that terrible, terrible spots.
1:12:03
I did a corporate for five adult.
1:12:05
Five people, was it planned for five or
1:12:08
five showed up? No, he had a,
1:12:10
there was a day, I can't mention the
1:12:12
names, but I'll tell you afterwards, but he
1:12:14
had a tough day, canceled the party, and
1:12:16
decided to keep just the three,
1:12:18
four other confidants with him, and I still
1:12:21
had to perform. And I couldn't
1:12:23
say no because the check cleared, so I was like,
1:12:25
okay. Good money? Huh? Pretty
1:12:27
good money? Yeah, well I fucking did it. Was
1:12:30
this at a home or a banquet hall? It was at
1:12:32
a resort. Wow. But
1:12:35
in a banquet room? In a restaurant
1:12:37
at the resort that they had. This
1:12:39
man owns the resort, which is even more, it's like
1:12:41
all his. Wow. So he sent everyone home, and I
1:12:44
was like, okay. And
1:12:46
I grabbed the arm of the girl who
1:12:48
was like liaisoning me. Like they gave me
1:12:50
like a house, and I was in the
1:12:52
house hanging, watching TV, eating a great meal.
1:12:54
I was just so excited. I think I
1:12:56
called my dad. I was like, I'm
1:12:59
having a fucking weekend, man. This is amazing. Then
1:13:01
we get in a golf cart, we go to
1:13:03
the restaurant, and I grab her elbow like a
1:13:06
scene out of a sitcom. I go, what's going
1:13:08
on? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I
1:13:10
was like, how is this? And she goes, change
1:13:13
of plans. It was a tough day. I
1:13:15
think he just wants to keep it intimate, and it's just
1:13:17
gonna be the boys. They just ate, they wanna drink and
1:13:19
laugh, and then they're gonna smoke cigars around the fire
1:13:22
pit if that's okay. I was like, well it's
1:13:24
not okay. But
1:13:26
it's over. Like what could
1:13:28
I have done? And so then
1:13:30
I had to, I mean, I
1:13:33
worked out, because I just talked to
1:13:35
them. I mean, I just was goofing with them. You're
1:13:37
just basically having conversation, but you're standing up. Yeah,
1:13:39
and his friend was a fan. It was his birthday, so it
1:13:41
was kind of like a, the other guys had
1:13:44
no clue who I was. I mean, the other guys were like, what the fuck is this? Who
1:13:46
was this guy? It didn't matter. I was
1:13:49
just, but that was the most uncomfortable I felt
1:13:52
in all my years. You did the full time? I
1:13:55
think I probably was up there for 30 or 40, I
1:13:57
was just goofing. I would do 12. At
1:14:00
12, I'm like, hey, you usually
1:14:02
do 12. Yeah. That's
1:14:05
not a big shift. I'm
1:14:07
sorry, that's funny. That's funny, come on. It's
1:14:10
good, it's a slam. I've had people at clubs, when I
1:14:12
go to clubs sometimes, go, Bobby was here a couple years
1:14:15
ago. You know, he did 17 minutes.
1:14:19
I'll tell you why. Can I tell you what?
1:14:21
Let me defend myself. Can I defend myself? If
1:14:24
I'm not feeling it, I'm not doing it.
1:14:26
Okay. But there's a sign. Stop. Let
1:14:29
me finish, okay? Somebody, and I
1:14:31
don't know who, came up with
1:14:33
these rules. The feature, MC
1:14:36
does this now, feature does this, right? And this
1:14:38
and that. And my thing is, is
1:14:40
like, fuck the rules, all right? If I'm not feeling
1:14:43
it, and it's not going well,
1:14:45
I don't wanna make everyone suffer through an
1:14:48
abomination. It's not, never gonna be
1:14:50
fun. I know, but in my mind it is. So I'm like,
1:14:52
you know, at 17 minutes, and that only happened
1:14:54
like twice in my life. Right, you know what
1:14:57
guys? You win. I'm out. Wait
1:15:00
a minute, you're headlining and you do
1:15:02
17 minutes? Yeah. And
1:15:04
what are the people? There's a riot? No, there's a riot.
1:15:06
They just kinda, it's weird. They just get up slowly like,
1:15:09
is it over? You're right. And
1:15:11
then the waitresses freak out because they haven't put the checks down. So
1:15:14
I think one time I went out and go, hey guys, wait
1:15:17
for your checks. Just talk amongst yourselves. Fuck
1:15:20
you, I'm out. You know what I mean? And that
1:15:22
was it. Wow. It's true, that's unbelievable. And then the
1:15:24
manager comes back there and they go, 17
1:15:26
minutes, huh? I go, yeah. And
1:15:29
that's it? And they go, it doesn't matter. They're gonna pay you
1:15:31
anyway because no one got the refund. Right,
1:15:34
and it's a door deal, so fuck it. Only
1:15:36
a couple times that happens, okay? Couple. Yeah,
1:15:39
yeah. McCone, do yourself a favor right now since you've been
1:15:41
so quiet and polite. Why don't you say something nice to
1:15:43
our guest because I know you're a fan. So you can
1:15:45

1:15:48

1:15:50
it. Yeah, that's it. You give them a
1:15:52
little bit, you don't want them to run too far. And we

1:18:23
else you did. Is
1:18:25
it me? What the fuck? I thought, yeah. What
1:18:28
was throwing me off a little bit was the
1:18:30
white fingernail polish. I
1:18:32
don't know if it's polish or
1:18:35
paste or what the hell you
1:18:37
got. But I was
1:18:39
thrown off many a times with
1:18:42
the white fingernails. Is that
1:18:44
your new look? What is that? I haven't seen
1:18:47
that from you. Yeah, yeah. You haven't seen
1:18:49
a lot of things. Do
1:18:51
you get those? From where I'm
1:18:53
sitting, that looks like a satin finish. It's
1:18:56
it's gels. Right.
1:19:00
No, no, I'm talking about the others. You
1:19:02
get them buffed out. I got them buffed
1:19:04
out. Yeah. And it's so funny that you
1:19:06
bring it up, Sam, because I
1:19:09
learned to do manicures from
1:19:11
you. Thank
1:19:13
you. Yeah. Yeah. So it's
1:19:15
very interesting that something that
1:19:17
I learned from you, it's like, you know,
1:19:19
that commercial son. You know
1:19:22
what I mean? What is this marijuana? Where'd
1:19:24
you learn it from you, Dad? Right. Right.
1:19:26
So I learned that this behavior from you. And
1:19:28
yet you try to use it against me in
1:19:31
a weird way. Don't lean back.
1:19:33
Lean back. No, please lean back. It's
1:19:35
aggressive and lean back a little bit. Okay. Thank
1:19:37
you. All right. What's up, dude? I'm
1:19:41
flattered that you started taking care of
1:19:43
your hands. How about your feet? He's
1:19:47
going to show you their polish as well. They're
1:19:49
polished as well, Sebastian. You asked for it.
1:19:51
Yeah. Look at that. Yeah.
1:19:55
Listen, I
1:19:57
did. I did. Might have had some influence.
1:20:00
on you getting manicures and pedicures, but
1:20:04
for the record, I never had
1:20:07
anything other than a clear coat or a
1:20:09
buff. But you can't buy your kid a
1:20:11
guitar and be shocked when he becomes a
1:20:13
rock star. You're showing him
1:20:15
the ropes, the kid's gotta fly through. Right,
1:20:18
it gave me like a book. You gave yourself a ukulele and you
1:20:20
learned how to play the electric guitar and now that's what he's doing.
1:20:22
That's what he's doing. I thought it
1:20:24
was tape at first, almost like Michael
1:20:26
Jackson. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, it's not that.
1:20:29
It's shell, okay, I don't know what
1:20:31
the fuck that is, right? But anyway,
1:20:34
dude. You know I've never had one. Yeah, man don't do
1:20:36
that. Okay, I also wanna, let's
1:20:38
just throw this out. You wanna get fucking
1:20:40
beat up after the show? Anyway, thank
1:20:43
you for being a bad friend, thank you. Woo,
1:21:00
yeah.
