logging, they're in a pickup truck and they're loggers.
13:41
Fire in the sky. Yeah, in the sky. That's
13:43

14:31
is a weird one, so bear with me. It's mostly for
14:33
Bill. People
14:38
on Twitter a few months ago noticed
14:40
a correlation between a story you told
14:42
and another actor, Ryan Gosling, told about
14:45
a screening of The Elephant Man where
14:48
there's a part where the elephant is...
14:50
Oh, yeah. So, yeah, Nick Frost told
14:52
me that story. Galatia. He
14:55
told me that story 15 years ago. What's
14:57
the story? So, the story was Nick
14:59
Frost said he was in the movie Elephant Man.
15:02
And he's watching the movie, and you know,
15:04
the end of the movie, there's
15:06
that opera singer, and she's talking
15:10
to Elephant Man, and she's being so... It's not
15:12
much about Elephant Man. She's talking to the Elephant
15:14
Man. John Merrick. So she's talking
15:16
to... The noble
15:18
John. The noble John Merrick.
15:20
Yes. And
15:23
she's treating
15:25
him like a human. And
15:34
some guy in the theater yelled out, Kill
15:37
the Elephant Man. Like
15:41
he thought it was a monster movie. Totally, totally.
15:44
So he told me that story, and I thought
15:46
it was very funny, and I told it. And
15:48
then I guess Ryan Gosling told the exact same
15:50
story, like it happened to him. It did happen
15:52
to him. I don't know. Yeah, it's possible. But
15:55
now it's this whole, I'm not on social media, but...
15:57
So a feud is in a social media feud. and
16:00
be like, hey man, Gosling stole your story.
16:02
And I'm like, hey man, get a fucking
16:04
life. Hey man. Hello. So,

21:04
I had Rick Baker who did
21:06
design that. He did my makeup in a
21:09

21:11
the whole movie solely so I could ask him about
21:13

21:48
assistant and he's the guy in The Exorcist,
21:50
