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
