"Rob Lowe"

Whether you're traveling, advancing your career, or just love learning, speaking a new language can create incredible opportunities. Rosetta Stone makes it easier and more immersive than ever.
I'm excited to learn Spanish. I took Spanish in high school, but I don't remember a lot of it.
But the reason is I live in California, and there are millions and millions and millions of people that speak Spanish. And I love it.
I love to learn. I love challenging my brain.

I, you know, learned piano for so long,

which is like a language. So that part of my brain is already excited

to learn more languages.

And so I'm super excited to see

what's in store for Rosetta Stone

and my Spanish speaking abilities.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Hey, you know what? That reminds me.
We don't have, we have a bye, but we don't really have a hi. Hi.
Why don't we do a hi? Should we start doing that? Should we do a hi? Hello. Hello.
We need an opening. Hello.
Maybe we should start doing that. All right, we'll do that.
Because I'm like, hello, have you seen the prices? Hello. I can hear the listeners.
Welcome to SmartLess. Oh, my God.
Most meek laugh you can do, Will. Go ahead.
Okay, Sean, meek laugh. Yeah.
You can't just blow your nose. We're recording.
Talk about, wait wait i didn't say do the most meek nose blowing you can do that was you nailed it yeah i i sneezed right before i came but how about every time every time you have like a slight cough or see how about every time you sneeze in public now anybody who anybody freaks out everybody they look at you like what's your problem why are you even out of the house i'm like well you look at people they just— They look at you like you're a war criminal. You're like, what the fuck? But I guess I'm guilty of that, too.
I know. If somebody coughs more than once, right? If they cough twice, I'm like—I give them—I try to get eye contact with them like, are you okay? Is this something I need to worry about? I still get surprised at the people who cough and don't, especially after everything we've been through, who still just cover your mouth.
That's all I ask. Yeah, or just into the shirt.
I used to think into the shirt was super gross, but you know what? It's a nice gesture. It'll leave a spot, but it's better than getting someone sick.
Well, it depends on the shirt, right? And the blood content in your cough. Yeah.
I mean, what do you mean a spot? I had a friend over last night that he was like congested. And I'm like, why did you come over? He's like, I'm not sick.
I'm not sick. Yeah.
And look, you woke up blowing your nose. I just had a sneeze.
Was it at least worth it, Sean? You old war horse. What was his name? Scotty was out.
That's stupid. So dumb.
We missed you all weekend, Sean. I know.
Did you go Sunday? Yeah, we went Sunday. I didn't go Sunday because Granddad pulled his back.
He pulled his back. Everybody was calling into question whether everybody kept going, yeah, Jason pulled his back.
No, it's not great. I was, I'm ashamed to say it is a golf injury.
I was simply leaning over to address the ball, about to swing, not even swinging, and it just slid out. Yeah.
That's painful. But then Dion Phaneuf, our incredible friend, a golfer, NHL star, gave me some of his CBD cream.
I use that. Let's plug it right now.
It's canny, right? Canny E's or canny something. Got it right.
Because now you're plugging Dion's. Canny 1200.
I think it's called canny golf. Can I, can I 1200.
Can he not pull his back out over 50? I mean. I'm going to get the right word there, the right title, and we're going to plug it properly.
I mean, do you think the fact that you were just addressing the ball, obviously you're brittle and you have no nutrients in your body, do you think that that is of concern to you? Are you worried about snapping some of your limbs at any point? Because, I mean, you have, there's literally nothing holding you together anymore. It's not true.
I wish I was as thin as you think I am. Or at least as thin as I should be for the lack of food I'm eating.
Do you remember this? About a year ago, we were playing with Chuck Day and McElhinney and those guys up there in the valley. There's a guy on this other hole.
I don't know, maybe 92, 93. And he was just, God bless him.
He's making his way around this guy, this old timer. And he shuffled up to the bottom and he was leaning over.
And I just look over and I point. And Jason just goes, that's not me, motherfucker.
And I go, yeah, it is. That's you.
I would have thought it was either. That's you now.
Jason, you are so thin. What are you talking about? I am so not.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about 70 pounds. You're very thin.
No, I just don't have any muscle mass because I'm not out there blasting backs and bys on Tuesdays and Thursdays pushing weight, you fucking jarhead. Why don't you? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, lifting weight. Yeah, yeah.
Moving weight has... There's no science that says it's good for you as you get older.
Oh, hang on a second. Look it up.
Yeah, you're right. By the way, here's an update on the sweaters.
I talked to Alex and... Wait, whoa, whoa.
We're moving on to sweaters? Sweaters? Well, remember we talked about my mom knitting sweaters for you guys. Oh, yeah.
And so I guess she heard... How does that have to do with pushing weight? We're just talking about getting older because you'll hear why.
Oh. And she says, okay, well, listen, I'm going to need.
She texts me out of the blue as she does, just apropos of nothing. I'm going to need sizes and blah, blah, blah.
And I'm going to guess that Sean is a little slighter, a little slimmer than Jason. Oh, God, no.
No, she just mixed up the names. That's all.
That's all. It's just that, like, Sean looks slimmer.
And you're right. I mean, you are, and I will go on record saying you're very skinny and stuff, but you just you're never going to lose that look.
You have the look. You're so right.
That's the problem. I wasn't born with a beautifully angled face like you with great bone structure and a strong superhero chin I am I am doughy I am round I am I am I came out puffy okay no you didn't you didn't you both have chiseled good looking faces you don't damn on.
By the way, you want to talk about a chiseled, good-looking face? Here we go with a segue. Nice segue.
This is the segue of all segues. That's amazing.
Let me tell you something, guest. You better not look puffy after that intro.
Check your lighting right now. Don't worry.
He won't. I've never seen him look puffy, and I've never seen him look bad.
It's impossible for him. And he is just...
And he's maintained it for so long, which is really admirable. On top of which, the really most admirable thing about him is how well he's maintained a career that has spanned decades.
For decades, this guy has been at the top of the list. It is unbelievable.
We knew when we were kids. We're talking about an angular face.
Again, again, we know him, so so I can't, I gotta be really careful because I just want to get a little bit out before you guys start. Before you start guessing, you don't know Robert Pattinson and he doesn't want to know you.
I know, but he has no interest in seeing you. But this guy, Robert, even Robert Pattinson looks up to this guy.
Willem Dafoe. This guy has done everything.
He's done every, the top of the game in film and television. He's done some of the most iconic films, some of the most iconic television.
He's been nominated for two Emmys, six Golden Globes, four SAG Awards, which he's won two. He's starred in so many 80s classics.
He was part of what was then known as the Brat Pack. He's been in St.
Elmo's Farms. About last night, The Outsiders, West Wing, Parks and Recreation.
It's our friend, Mr. Robert Lowe.
Now that is a beautiful man. Wait a minute.
Are you on set right now? He's in a cop uniform. He's got a cop uniform on.
It's a fireman's uniform. It's a fireman's uniform.
Oh, fireman. Sorry.
I told the whole crew. I said, I gotta go see my boys.
I gotta go see my guys. This is so lovely.
He's on the set of 9-1-1 Lone Star, which is the show that he stars in, and he produces in your fourth season?

You're shooting your fifth season, maybe?

We are almost done with season four.

Almost done with season four.

Season four.

I see clips of that show,

and I'm tired looking at,

like, I guess it looks like 15-hour days.

Try watching a full episode, you rude bastard.

What?

Try watching a full episode, not the clips.

Yeah, watch the episodes.

Don't watch the clips.

No, no, like the promos.

I mean, the promos. And I see your face, and I and i'm like god rob just finished a 15 hour day on that episode like it's just looks so like you sleep in olive oil rob is there a is there a mattress that's got a zip in olive oil pouch that you sleep i know look at the best skin in the world um um i i'm an olympic sleeper.
I think we've talked about it. I get a lot of sleep.
I have shame around how much I sleep because it makes me seem like it's a good thing. So you still sleep like you're a teenager? Yes.
How many hours is that? What time are you in the rack every night, Rob? Well, today I had to be in the car at 5.15 in the morning. Oh, God.
But as you know, I live in Santa Barbara, and I'm lucky enough to be driven so I can sleep in the car. So I get an extra hour and a half in the car, but I was in bed at 9.30 last night.
Okay. And then you're up at – so what time are you getting up for a 5.15, get in the car? 5.14.
Truly. 5.14.
Because I don't really want to. Now you're going to get, you're going to get my typical morning questions now.
And I'm going to try to keep this clean. But, well, but hang on now.
Why are you leaving the house without a shower or without emptying yourself you're doing that in your trailer all of that um i don't i don't do the morning shower i do the i do the nighttime shower nice um i get that i do the nighttime so then what do you do about your bed head then you you let the people in the way in the makeup hair trailer do that all that that's that's what are for. Isn't it nice to take a- Hold it, Sean.
You could save yourself an hour if you don't do makeup and you do your own hair before you leave the house. How does it save me an hour? That costs me an hour.
That means I have to wake up earlier. Yeah, that's true.
God, that's great math. God, I'm sorry.
isn't it nice to take a shower at night yeah it makes you feel like a kid i take sometimes take a shower put my pajamas on watch tv and then you go straight to b brush your teeth to go to bed oh yeah no i look forward to going to sleep i'm like i do love that yeah now rob you know you're an incredibly talented actor you can't get this far without being a really good actor. Did it ever bother you that like, it seems like the only people that get real good accolades as an actor are those that look like character actors.
You don't, you look like a leading man. Was it ever frustrating to you that you didn't get the character roles because you were born with leading man looks? Well, first of all thank you for for saying that and i do feel like i'm a character actor trapped in a leading man's body well look at austin powers you were hysterical in austin powers oh thank you it's a long list and when i when i get to you know i i'm i you know johnny depps made a career of not you know he so handsome, but he always wears prosthetics and stuff.
And so he gets to do these insane characters. And I, I, I, every time I've been able to do that, I, I've found it very freeing.
Um, but yeah. Let's talk about that.
Cause your trajectory is been, uh, it's so hard. I mean, everybody's got their own sort of path that they have, but yours has gone through so many different areas.
And I was, a lot of people have peaks and valleys. You haven't even had any valleys.
It's been sort of like from peak to peak and you've just kind of jumped. You started in, and I mentioned sort of the Brad Pack, but you started in, was The Outsiders your first big film? Was my first movie, period.
I mean, I. Okay, so talk about that about that talk about that process how you got it and how it came about and what it was like i mean jesus i wish you guys had been you know in in that mix you would have it was it was an incredible thing and all of us who went through it are like bonded like band of brothers because uh coppola put us through such an arduous, insane, and I think actually illegal Screen Actors Guild wise type of boot camp.
Really? Went on for months, months and months and months, mixing and matching. And you'd go into the soundstage and there'd be like Mickey Rourke with roller skates on, stinking like an animal and being treated like he was the Marlon Brando reincarnated.
And then you'd have Scott Baio coming in in a limousine and telling Francis he had to get back to his show. And Francis going, what show? And he goes, happy days.
And Francis going, what's that?

Oh, my God.

And then you'd have like Ricky Schroeder

and, you know, Dennis Quaid.

And I mean, just anybody and everybody.

So he was doing like mixing and matching

or were these like kind of forced bonding

kind of chemistry reads?

The forced bonding came later, but these were mix and matches with everybody present. So you showed up, everybody showed up at eight o'clock in the morning and you left at, you know, seven o'clock at night and you just sat on the floor and he would go, okay, I want to see Dennis Quaid with Henry Thomas and Ricky Schroeder and, you know, whatever.
Wow. That's wild.
Wow. What was the name of your character again? It wasn't— Soda Pop.
Soda Pop. Soda Pop.
Yes. Soda Pop.
You know what's really cool about The Outsiders is every—you know, it's part of the seventh grade curriculum of almost every school in the country. So every year there's a new group of seventh graders who get introduced to not only to the outsiders, but, you know, like, Soda Pop Curtis, yay!

So that's super cool.

And look at you now, from soda pop to cup.

I literally just had a guy send me a text this morning and he said, stay gold, Ponyboy. He literally said that on a text this morning.
From Harry Chung, Will. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
I like Harry. I was about to lay in whoever did it, but I like Harry a lot.
He's a friend. Harry's a good man.
He's a good man. I remember when you were in Contact.
I remember when you were in Contact, and it was like, that's one of my favorite movies of all time. And I was like and you showed up on screen i was like wait that's that's rob low i was like i don't know 22 years old when it came out or something i was like wait rob low is in this movie that's so crazy and amazing like you like to will's point you would take no peak um just all peaks right no valleys and you would appear even if it was the smallest role or a leading role or whatever,

there always seemed, at least the perception was,

that they were all super high-quality movies and TV shows.

Totally.

And by the way, sometimes with Sean, Rob, as you know,

sometimes it's like having a kid come in because he just goes,

I remember when you were in contact,

and you're like, okay, man,

we're not just fucking doing free-form

just whatever pops into our fucking head.

Jesus Christ.

I remember one time I saw you on a fucking what, man?

Jesus.

I remember.

I saw you on a billboard once.

Nominated for his question asking skills.

Of the three of us,

he was nominated for the host of the year.

Singled out.

But Rob, but Rob, you don't need to.

Singled out.

Singled out.

Pulled out of the trifecta. No, is this true? This is amazing.
It's true. 100% true.
The best host of a podcast. Well, there's three of us.
No, just Sean. Just Sean.
That is the greatest thing I've ever heard. He didn't win.
Okay? That's the greatest thing I've ever heard. Why? Missed it.
Because they finally went and listened to it. Yeah.
And then they were like, oh, shit. Not him.
You know, because, you know. God, that's funny.
But, Rob, so you do, like, the Outsiders. And it is true what Sean says and what we were saying, which is, like, you do all these things that are amazing.
That each one of them have a place in, you know, culturally, a place in everybody's lives. whether it's The Outsiders and then St.
Elmo's Fire. Which I just saw.
I just watched it for the first time ever. Are you serious? Swear to God.
Never saw it. I watched it like a month.
No, he's saying, are you serious that you're just interrupting and going with alerts? Sorry. So you do The Outsiders.
What was film number two? After The Outsiders, which was a big sensation, and we all saw it, what was the next thing? What was the move when that came out? Was it like you had everything offered to you? All of us got a lot of offers. I mean, I think Tom did the best with it because he followed it up with Risky Business.
And that was, you know, the beginning for him. I did a movie called Class with Andrew McCarthy and Jacqueline Bessette.
Yes, you did. Oh, I know it well.
Good for you, Rob. Right? Yeah, great for you.
Good for you. Okay? Class act.
I didn't know what was going on there. Okay, go ahead.
No, no. Yeah, no.
You don't have to admit to anything on this podcast. You just keep going with your answer.
I thought. Wait, I have something I want to say about Contact after Will gets there.
Holy fuck. I love that he's obsessed with Contact.
I had two lines in it, but it's a good movie. I'm obsessed with you in it, too.
Obsessed, Will. I used it.
Obsessed, and it's his favorite movie of all time. Go figure it.
Hey, listen, Rob, so you do... Next to Star Trek.
Sometimes it's like you just gotta breathe. They're right.
You just do have to breathe. Finish your juice box, Sean.
So, Rob, so you do class with Andy McCarthy. Jacqueline Bissette.
Yep. Jacqueline Bissette.
And then what was after? Then it's Sean's favorite actor, Jodie Foster. Yes.
Can I say something about that movie? In Hotel New Hampshire. Oh.
And Hotel New Hampshire was going to be, that was the one everybody, all the young actors wanted to do because they thought it was going to be Oscar-type movie. Because in those days, however you want to call them, Bratback movies, teen movies, John Hughes movies, whatever you want to call them, they were like the guilty pleasure of the movie business.
Like today, they'd be straight movies. There'd be no guilt associated with them at all.
In fact, they'd be the tentpole. But in those days, it was like, Terms of Endearment's the real movie this year, okay? And, oh, you're doing that trifle over here? Like that's the way it was.
That's what it was. It was very segregated in that way.
But Hotel New Hampshire felt like a real movie. Of course, then it came out the same weekend as Splash, and that was the end of it.
Oh, wow. Wasn't that a John Irving book? It's a John Irving book, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. And it did, I remember when that came out, wow, God, what was that like? There he goes.
85? 84, 83? 83, late 83. Wow.
So, I know I messed up on that one. I'm usually a really good movie.
He's spot on. But even just inside the same decade was just incredible.
That, but so you do, but you did, I know that you're sort of, you're saying that these are the films that were the tribe, but these were the films that people were going to see, that all of us were going to see. You know, I mean, I wasn't, I wasn't a huge student of the cinema yet.
And those are the movies I wanted to go see. I wanted to go see you guys in those.
I wanted to go see Youngblood, by the way, as a Canadian. Yeah, yeah.
Dude, Rob, let's talk about Youngblood for a second. Sean, quick five for us? Sure.
Yeah, go ahead. Rob, talk about it.
Yeah, go ahead. Youngblood is, I think it might be the second best hockey movie.
First is Slapshot, let's face it. Slapshot's one of the greatest movies ever made, period.
Mighty Decks, Mighty Decks, Mighty Decks. No, I'm throwing down.
I'm sorry. I'm not having it.
I'm just not having it. I'm with Rob.
Now, yeah, Youngblood is fun because whenever I get to go to a hockey game, people are super excited because there aren't that many hockey movies.

There aren't that many.

If you're a hockey fan, there aren't all that many, really.

No, dude.

And we loved, as a Canadian, we loved Youngblood.

And I would say this.

Slapshot, maybe because it came before and Paul Newman, et cetera.

But they're kind of different.

They fall into different categories within hockey. So it's in terms of like a pure hockey movie that's not a comedy.
That's right. Youngblood is the best in that regard.
So they're very different. But anyway.
Pure hockey, pretty few young hockey player. I mean, they all, everybody who's played hockey has worn that movie out because it's about coming up into the league.
Now, were you, were you a good skater? Were you had, were you playing hockey at that time? No, I was horrible. I, I mean, I, I could Rockefeller center date, hold hands skate.
Right. And so I had, it was the first time I ever had a trainer or I had to work out and we, and I Swayze was my co-star, Patrick Swayze.
And we trained every day for almost eight weeks, six hours a day. Brutal, brutal, brutal training.
And I got to be pretty good on skates at that point. Wow.
And Keanu was in it too. No way.
He was the goalie. He was the goalie.
I thought he was an actual French-Canadian goalie. He was, right? We had him on the podcast.
We just had him on the podcast. He was a goalie.
He was a goalie, yeah. Yeah.
There you go. Someone listens.
Do you remember interacting with Keanu back then and thinking like, oh, this kid's gonna do something? Like, do you have anything like that? Will, I'm telling you, and this is no slight to Keanu Reeves, who I adore, I thought he was a French-Canadian goalie. Wow.
I thought, which probably tells you all you need to know, because I thought he was the real thing. That's how good he is.
And we will be right back. Do you need a haircut right now? Supercuts thinks you just might.
A haircut is the kind of thing that sneaks up on you sort of like your creepy uncle. Before you know it, you're three weeks late and probably the last person to realize it.

And now back to the show. Well, on the same sort of question on outsiders, um could it was it clear to you uh or if you had to bet on one of those horses to to have the kind of longevity that you ended up having in your career who did you think was gonna be would be the horse i'd bet on pony boy's the horse i'd bet i mean yeah i mean again and it's funny because you tom has obviously become you know, a legendary, legendary actor.
And I'm not sure you would have back in the day, but he had such drive, such – he had an intensity that none of us had. And then Taps, I think, put him over the top, right? Or was – Taps was right before.
Taps was before. Oh, okay.
Taps that made him, yeah. Wow.
And he was so good in that movie i've got it taps was my first hollywood from big hollywood premiere that was that i remember that movie really knocking me out yeah wait can we go like go back to contact sure and so on contact what was your name no I wanted but like didn't see were you scared

did you think the aliens were really coming? He's all hopped up on apple juice now. Go, let him go.
Do it. Well, no.
Well, since you brought it up, the content, but I want to go, I want to go back. Yep.
Before the outsiders. But I just want to get this out about content.
My favorite line in the movie is... You are the worst.
Go ahead. Only person I know who gets drunk on apple juice.
Just swerving all over the podcast. I am dying.

I can't. Pull over and take a nap.

I can't believe you're torturing Rob

like this. I wanted to get out

my favorite line in Contact,

which was Jodie Foster and

Matthew McConaughey.

McConaughey was in it?

Yeah, Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey.

And I think it's like the second time they kiss

in the movie. And Jodie pulls away and her first line, I'm not making this up, is, I'm so confused.
And that's your favorite. There goes your nominations for this year.
So no, Jodie Foster's a friend and she would laugh at that. Fuck me.
I want to go back. You are literally crying.
Will is literally crying tears of laughter. Rob, you've got your own podcast.
You see, it's not easy, right? It's not easy at all. You got to deal with...
This is why I do mine alone. Exactly.
You have to deal with the nonsense. Thank you.
I love you too so much. So,, before The Outsiders, we kind of just skipped over.
Like, I don't know anything about your, like, past or your child. Like, how did you get that? Like, wasn't that such a huge deal? What were you doing before that? Like, theater or anything? I was doing theater when I lived in Ohio.
My family lived there. I was eight years old, and I went and saw a local school production and fell in love with the kid.
Like, you know, like I was like, I want to do that. And my parents like, yeah, sure, whatever.
So you lay, you had a love for it when you were super young, super young. It's all I ever want knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Wow. Isn't that wild? But you couldn't, you couldn't pursue it in Ohio, right? Was it, was there a move out to Los Angeles that, that triggered like, okay, I, okay, I actually want to do this now? Well, my thing was I'm going to do – I did every sort of university.
There was a traveling – oh, God, this thing called the Kenley Players. You've got to look this up, guys.
It's the best. We should make a movie about this.
The Kenley Players. It would be summer, professional summer.
It's like waiting for Guffman, but real.

John Kenley was a musical theater producer,

lived as a woman in Florida during part of the year,

and then was John Kenley in the Midwest.

And of course, the Midwestern people were never the wiser.

And he would get whoever's the hottest TV star

and put them in Camelot or something like that. And then they would tour Dayton, Cincinnati, Akron, Columbus, Flint, Michigan.
And you'd like Henry Winkler would come and just crush for four weeks in the summer. And you'd see like Vic Tabak in Man of the Mancha.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was the most delicious.
Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan. Of course, yes.
That's hot. Jason's old co-star.
Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.
Wait, so Rob, but that's a good point. So you're doing this thing, this touring theater thing, which does sound amazing.
And then what? What do I tell you my Paul Lind stories? Well, fucking let's go.

Yeah.

Look at you, you little giblet.

That actually sounded more like Charles Nelson Reilly.

No, a mix of the two.

This is definitely a mix of the two.

One of my favorite Paul Lind lines on Hollywood Squares was the host said,

okay, for the center square, for the X, Paul,

when a man falls over a boat, you yell, man overboard.

What do you yell when a woman falls over a boat?

And he goes, false spade ahead.

Wait, wait, how did you, where did you encounter Paul in, first of all, Rob?

Oh, the Kenley players. Not on Hollywood Square.
Did you ever do Hollywood Squares? No, I did the $10,000, this is how long it was, how long ago it was, the $10,000 pyramid. Oh, wow.
Before it was $25,000 or $100,000. Yes, with Dick Clark.
And that was my first trip to New York, publicity trip and i played against tony danza and i eviscerated him i once took tony danza deep at the hollywood stars night uh no way yeah he threw a little cookie over the plate and i took it out to right center field i love that yep past the sprinting lou ferrigno uh-huh inside the park home run didn't they what you went around the bases on a gurney or what? You probably pulled something for sure. At that time, I was pretty limber.
You really were not. I love those old, the old time Dodger Hollywood stars.
The first one I played in, it was such a huge thrill. It was 1979.
And I stepped up to the plane, now batting, Rob, load. No way.
No way. And it was amazing.
And I think I might have got a fielder's choice to first base or whatever. And I was like super – because in those days, it was super competitive, actually.
And then at a certain point, it devolved into hijinks, and then you'd get kareem abdul jabbar pitching to billy barty right with a huge with with a large bat that's right yes and that's what happened and then it all but it was that was my moment at the holly i talk to kimmel about this sometimes like we should approach them and and and ask them if they if they would be interested in in us just sort of just like let's make this thing overhand again you know fast pitch baseball because like now i think it's like softball they bring in a fence and we should get it back to uh listen i'm gonna make that if you're down jason's like how can we suck the fun back out of it you know what i mean do you ever hear rob do you ever hear about the golf trip we went on last year and jason on our way there there were like eight of us and jason's like okay here's the deal everybody has to putt everything out we're gonna keep score it's gonna be and everybody aggregate score over four days and everybody's like hey man fucking relax we haven't even started the the trip yet and he's already won and takes the fun out um wait so rob okay we're jumping all over the place but what i do want to know is when was the move, because you did all these really successful, great movies, like I pointed out before, San Carlos Fire, About Last Night, whatever it was, Class, one of my favorites, Masquerade, which I loved as well. Thank you, I liked that one.
I thought that was a very underappreciated movie. And then all of a sudden, you start, you made like this switch and you're like,, well, I'm gonna do comedies, and all of a sudden, you became a guy who was like in every comedy in the 90s, you were in them, and it was a big, was that like a, did you make a conscious decision like, yeah, fuck it, I'm done with this, I'm now gonna do that, happen? Well, I'd loved, always loved comedy and it was my first love and was obsessed with SNL.

I did, for my sixth grade talent show, I did Ackroyd's Bass-O-Matic sketch.

I loved, loved.

I didn't know that one. Bass-O-Matic.

Oh yeah, that's that thing where he sells the Bass-O-Matic and he talks really fast. How many times has this happened to you? You have a bass.
It wiggles off the hook. Yeah.
And so I hosted SNL. Yeah.
And had a really good show and hit it off with Lorne. And I think Lorne saw something in me that nobody, nobody had really seen before that I could really be funny.
And then, um, when they, so when they made Wayne's World into a movie, I had, I had also connected with Mike on the show. Um, and we, we, we sort of just got each other.
And so when they, when they were making Wayne's World, they were looking for somebody who had been in a movie. I mean, Mike and Dana, literally.
It was just that simple. I think Rob's been in a movie.
Sean, tell Tracy who he's talking about really quickly. Oh, what, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey? There we go.
Yeah, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. Okay.
You have to use them sparingly, Rob. You know, you give them easy ones like that, and then you move forward.
I know. I got so nervous.
No, no, no. Sean? So you do, so, yeah, of course.
Of course it's Wayne's World. And that makes sense that you get brought in as, not only have you been in a movie, you've been in a lot of big movies, and you're a movie star.
So for them, it's a great get. And Lauren's like, so you're going to, Mike's going to write it and you're doing it, Rob.
And you start tomorrow. That's right.
And you've already said yes and here's your wardrobe and you've said yes and let's go into action. I just, by the way, Will, I just walked with him last week.
I hadn't had a good Laurenne Michaels walk through Beverly Hills in a long time, and there

were so many great quotes.

I really, really, really, and

we have to do a coffee table book.

We have to

of Lorne quotes.

They're the best. One of my

favorite, and I love Lorne, I haven't

done the walk with him in

a few years now, any of the walks. I've done

the beach walk. I've done the beach walk.

I've done, obviously, the Beverly Hills Flats walk many times.

Wait, this is a known thing?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, that he walks with people?

Yeah.

Like John Sykes said to me the other day,

I just did a walk with Lorne,

and then I saw him with Gold.

I see him in Goldwyn every time he's in town,

John Goldwyn.

But I said, he one time said,

we were talking about the South,

and he just goes,

it's a Mason-Dixon line thing. And I was like, oh.
Which I fucking loved. But Rob, what you did with that comedy turn though that I sort of felt was it was just, I just thought it was really admirable that you were doing this.
If I remember correctly, at a time when people really were still kind of taking themselves pretty seriously, and you were not. And you were assigned a lane, too.
Yeah, and you said, yeah, you know what? I'm not going to bust out of that lane for a lane of I am a character actor and I'm doing Shakespeare now. You actually went the opposite direction.
You said, I'm actually going to kind of make fun of myself a little bit here and just pull my pants down a little bit, you know, and kind of not be quite as, uh, gorgeous, you know, it was, it was pretty cool. Yeah.
Really cool. Well, thanks.
I mean, I love it. And I still, I still love, you know, you guys know, there's nothing, look, I'm talking to a bunch of guys who get to do, you know, you know, get to play in both pools and to do, you know, like to do doing Lone Star now.

And then the show, which is now on Netflix, Unstable with my son, Hard Comic. Oh, yeah.
You told me about that. That's the fun of it because they're so different.
But when I first got into comedy, when I first got into humor, you know, when I first, it was, no one else was in that lane for sure. No one knew.
And also SNL was a thing where like people, like now everybody wants to do it, does it, doesn't think about it. But in those days, like, oh, you better be careful.
Ooh, I don't know. Like, there was all that shit going on.
I was like, be careful of what? Right, yeah. But you do Wayne's World, you do Tommy Boy, you do Austin Powers, and then you jump back and you start doing things like, you do a bunch of serious dramas, you do Brothers and Sisters.
West Wing? Well, I was going to say West Wing. Sorry, West Wing first.
I was getting to West Wing, but West Wing first, which was a phenomenal show. Then Brothers and Sisters with Robbie Bates.
Then you go and you make the jump and then you start doing, I remember the day that Amy was like, I think Rob Lowe's going to do Parks and Rec. And I was like, what? That's amazing.
And all of a sudden, you, you're on a serious drama, and then the next year you're on a sitcom, and you're on a full-fledged comedy. Yeah, you're an agent's dream.
Yeah. Very few people get that kind of leeway.
I know, it's so true. And can pull it off, and nobody, and there's no part of you that's like, well, he can't do that.
You're like, yeah, well, yeah, it's Rob Lowe. Yeah, Rob can do it.
Like, that's fucking rad, dude.

I mean, you kind of...

So for as much as you feel

like you're like a leading,

you know,

a character actor

trapped inside a leading man's body,

you did what you wanted to do anyway,

which I think is super fucking rad.

And still are doing it.

And they're still doing it.

Yeah.

It's pretty rad.

Thanks.

And then now you're doing

your show with Johnny,

who's a great kid,

whom I know a little bit.

Yeah, your son, John.

Jesus Christ. That's so cool.
I remember you telling me. Talk about this, dude.
It's so, I mean, to be able to work with my son, I mean, it all started with him sort of trolling me on social media, like just brutalizing me. I mean, mercilessly, just for nothing other than to just do it.
And people started to notice. And it got to the point that if I was out doing an interview to promote something, whether it was, you know, the Today Show or the Ellen Show, it didn't matter what the venue was.
All they really wanted to talk about was, your son just loves to make fun of you. We have some of his greatest hits here.
I'm like, Jesus Christ. So it got to the point where we both were like, people really like this.
I wonder, is there some there there? Because I mean, literally the audience is saying, we want this. We want more of this.
So we tried to figure out what it would be. I'm like, well, we're not going to do a reality show.
And I don't want to do that thing of playing a heightened version of me because Larry David did it so well. It feels kind of done.
So what is it? So we've distilled it down to really what it is, is like a larger than life, benevolent narcissist dad who may or may not be as in touch with the real world as he would like to think. And the world just applauds him.
And the son who's just like, oh, my God, really? and so we built this show called Unstable and I play almost like an Elon Musk

tech genius

who's unstable on his best days and maybe insane in his others.

And John Owen is the son who can—

is the only one who can speak truth to power.

It's super fun.

It's called Unstable, by the way.

Yes.

Yes.

It's on Netflix now.

It's on Netflix because it's streaming. Click it.
Wow. Go ahead, Sean.
No, I was just going to say that I know Tommy Boy so well, and I'm such a fan of you in it, everything, but I just love that movie. I think that movie is so beloved by so many people.
Are you guys like me, by the way? Sorry, when two people start talking at the same time and then somebody goes, no, no, you go ahead. I can't help but say, oh, no, I was just going to say.
Like, I can't stop myself from saying it and I tell myself not to say it. But that's okay.
But you too, like you just said it. It's impossible not to say, oh, no, I was just going to say.
Right? Yeah, it's like you have to say it as an acknowledgement. But it's like yawning when someone else yawns next to you.
You can't help it. Anyway, go ahead.
I was just going to say, Tommy Boy is a movie where Wayne's World, we thought might do well and Austin Powers had that thing. Tommy Boy, no one ever expected that movie, ever, to do.
And that started with playing tennis. I was playing tennis with Lorne.
I'll never forget it. Lorne, Bernie Brillstein, myself, John Goldwyn, playing doubles.
Perfect. And Lorne saying, you know, I think there's something with you and Farley playing brothers.
Really? And I was like, wow, that'd be great. And I never heard another thing about it.
And then, you know, whatever, six months later, Tommy Boy morphs into what it is. But I don't think anybody thought.
And that's the one that I do think has, you know, who did I just talk to? Oh, Jonah Hill. Yeah.
Jonah Hill, and I'm not kidding, will tell you that his favorite movie in the world is Tommy Boy. Yeah.
I'd be pretty close to that. Over the Goodfellas, over the Godfellas.
I'm telling you, Tommy Boy. It's insane.
No, it's one of the greatest comedies of all time. I mean, it's right up there with all of the classics.

Now,

did Chris make you laugh as much offset

as on camera?

He did.

And when you were doing

your meek laugh,

I thought you were doing Farley.

Do your meek laugh, Jason,

because it literally is Farley.

That's Farley's laugh.

He killed me.

I mean,

Chris Farley and Will Ferrell,

there's just, there's no one funnier than those two guys to me. No one.
Ever. We'll be right back.

Thanks to Amazon One Medical and Amazon Pharmacy,

healthcare just got less painful. All right, back to the show.
So you do Tommy Boy, you do all this. So then you do, talk about West Wing, because West Wing was such a, I mean, that show just, still, you can watch it.
You can turn it on today, and it just completely holds up. It's so good.
Isn't that kind of making a resurgence? Like, I hear people talking about that they now watch it a lot. Yeah, because politics is such a big part of society now, more so than then, I think, right? What's interesting about West Wing is it kind of comes and goes.
People liked it when it was on. And then in the early years of Netflix, the early years, I think it was that and friends were drove Netflix and, and then it went off the platform and now something's going on that they're into it again.
I don't know what it is, but I'm hearing a lot about it again, too. I don't know.
So, Rob, like us, you've been in the podcast space. I like calling it the space.
It does sound good. It's good, right? We're in the podcast space.
It's better than content. You should hear me go off about content.
Rob, I hate when people go, I'm a content creator. So you just make fucking shit? Or storyteller.
If you're a storyteller or a content provider. How have you liked doing the podcast, literally, with Rob Lowe? I love it.
I have so much fun. Because I, you know, it's what you guys are.
You're just riffing. You're having a good time.
You're saying what's on your mind. And sometimes the most trivial stuff is the most fun to talk about.
And then you get guests on, and a lot of them I have known forever and ever and ever, and know them in a very specific way that no one else is ever going to know them in the way that I do. So I'm able to bring out sides of them that no one else is going to be able to do because they don't have the history that I have with them.
And, you know, I had Whoopi Goldberg on recently and I was like, Whoopi, do you remember when we were on the California toxic clean water caravan with Michael J. Fox, Jane Fonda, Cher.
Just picking up trash down at Santa Monica Pier.

And we went through the McDonald's drive-thru.

Do you remember?

Like, where else are you going to get that?

You know what I'm saying?

So it's super fun.

Rob has got so many unbelievable,

you're kind of like, and we always hammer Jason,

and Kimmel loves hammering Jason for stories about,

you know, back when he was a teen actor and stuff. You guys have such a long history in this town of doing stuff like that weird-ass shit where you're like, yeah, I was on a 10-hour overnight train journey with LeVar Burton.
I know. We were going to Vienna, on our way to Vienna to see the city.
Like, what the fuck? I know, and that Jason went to school with Janet Jackson is so crazy. Jason was on the massage bus with Janet Jackson, which is like fucking crazy.
That's a whole other thing, Rob. I once saw Rob on a boat in the south of France, and he comes on and goes, we were just, we just got washed out, right? You got washed out by a flooded river or some shit.
Remember that? Yeah, I survived a flash flood in France. It was like a legit, like real flash flood.
Got saved. I would be rescued by the police.
Oh, by the way, Jason, we, so I did Jimmy's show and there's a game that's named after you that they're now renaming after me. I just want you to know the game.
Yes, it's, so it's the game where you put the names in the hat. Yes.
And then you pull the hat out and then you have to tell a story about the name. He pulls a name out of a hat, some random celebrity from years past, and you have to tell a story about it.
Yes. A story associated with it.
Oh, that's great. Oh, I bet Rob.
Rob, you must crush that. Oh, you must crush that.
I want you and I to play that game. We should go mano a mano.
I would give anything to watch you two fucking go on that. Let's just play a version right now.
I'll pick a name for you, and then you pick a name for me. That's a great idea.
That's a great idea. Okay, I'm ready.
This is fun. Okay.
Telly Savalas. I don't have any direct interaction with him, but I believe my wife that that might,

or no, he may be her godfather

or maybe he's the godfather of Jen Aniston.

Wait, what?

I think he's Jen's godfather, right?

I think he's Jen's godfather and Amanda and she are so close,

so that's why it's adjacent to,

which reminds me of my new construction company. It's called Adjacent Abatement.
And what we do is we go in and we take mold out from, sorry, all right, here's my one for you. Pia Zadora.
Mm, yeah, okay. You have one? So I was, wow.
I was making out on the colony beach with Gregory Peck's daughter. Oh my God.
Fuck it. Everybody shut up, keep going rough.
And I hear this woman going, that's disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Don't you have any common decency? There are children on this beach. And I looked up and it was pia zadora that's crazy but how about for bonus points we get gregory peck's daughter and the malibu colony i mean rob low this man is royal you're a hero i mean come on rob jesus christ how long have you how long have you known downy ninth grade history class wow out there in malibu sam o high santa monica high school wow i could see it i remember at christmas uh when i saw you in in we uh at the christmas party and then i saw you talk to rob and i to downy and i was like i could immediately see like oh this is deep this is deep long deep deep you guys have that shorthand of knowing each other yeah since being kids yeah that was so and there was no one more fun to party with downy made me laugh harder than any human being in the world and yeah he's super fun i just love what he's done with his life and he's he's such an inspiration and a great guy and oh by the way downy was on the bus with share and and uh whoopi goldberg as well i mean he was we were always doing that stuff my mom used to my mom used to call her hoopy well because because in in her defense she couldn't see the whole word because the w was covered because that's where the i the bus do you think you'd be able to recall enough to write a satisfying book? He's written a book.

Sorry. with the eye, the button.
Rob, do you think you'd be able to recall enough to write a satisfying book? He's written a book. Sorry, let me finish.
And he's toured it very successfully. But in a book, when I say book, I mean a follow-up series.
Like a series. Yes, yes.
What's it called? Stories I Only Tell My Friends, is that right? Stories I Only Tell My Friends and the follow-up, Love Life. life.
So we're talking about. So I'm talking about the third one.
The third one is called names and dates. It's just names and dates and what's fucking happened.
Gregory Peck's daughter, March 12th, is adora. Yeah.
You know, yeah. So now Rob, and now you're back.
I know that your new thing, well, not new, but you're obsessed with golf. You've been playing a lot.
You and I played a couple months ago with Danny Dees, by the way. Rob's a good buddy.
He's with Danny. Yeah.
Who's a friend of the program. Mm-hmm.
He's the best. He's the best.
He's the world's only good finance guy. And.
That's right. You were talking about how obsessed you are with, and your game is getting really good.
I mean, you're just getting there. You're on it, right? Like you're practicing a lot.
Oh, I practice all the time. I don't get to play as much because I don't have that much time, really.
But I'm practicing easily four days a week. Like today I'm at is there a goal yes yes my goal is to do what you did i want to play i want to play in the at&t how was that for you that was incredible i mean will almost won the damn thing but um i i i had a really good time myself too and all you got to do is just put your hand up they'll have you up there i mean rob you're in you're in for next year with us come on it was such a blast we it was amazing guys i'm doing it i'm 100 doing it i it always falls right in the middle of of the production schedule but i'm actually going to ask for the time off next year and i'm i'm absolutely committing to doing it there you go i got to follow tiger inside the Oh, wow.
And yeah, I got to be inside the ropes with Tiger, Rory, and JT. It was insane.
Wow. Oh, yeah.
Those rounds were incredible. Were you there the day when Tiger birdied the last three holes and they all birdied 18 together? No, that was the day after.
I was there the day that he almost had the hole in one. Yeah.
Oh, that was incredible. Yeah.
One revolution. But I also saw him, you know the green with the sand trap in the middle of it? Oh, God, yeah, totally.
You saw him putt into the sand trap. Yes.
Did you see that? I saw Tiger Woods putt into the sand trap, which just to me was the most beautiful thing in the world because I'm like, okay, that's the greatest who ever hoisted a golf club. Yeah, and even he can do that.
And even it was the thing was he was going to take his medicine. He was going to, you know, it's that thing we always do where we can't quite bring ourselves to take our medicine.
We kind of also want to do the, he kind of, and I'm like, I love it. He did get up and down for four though.
He did, but I've putted into that bunker twice in my life. I bet you didn't make four.
Twice. And the other thing he did that I noticed was whenever he would do something like that, he would go to another gear in whatever the next hole was.
Like another gear. I want to get Tiger on this show.
I know. It would be great to have him on.
Me too. Wild.
God, I just, Rob, I could just listen to you talk about all your stuff, all your. I know.
I love it. God, it's just everything.
Whether it's his movies or his shows or his life. This is, by the way, Will, this is, this is what the podcast is.
I mean, because a lot of times somebody will bring up something and I'll go, that reminds me. Because I do have a Telly Savala story where I was eight years old and Kojak was coming to Dayton, Ohio to sign autographs in the ladies undergarments of Reich's department store.
Is that true? It was. Yeah, absolutely true.
And so I got my bus fare together. Autographing underwear on, on the third floor is telly Savalas.
Yeah. Yeah.
And he was probably doing a Kenley players. It was probably Telly Savalas and some Arthur Miller

show. And I take the bus and I wait in line forever.
And I bought him a sucker because I know Telly Savalas likes – remember Kojak always had the sucker? Yeah. Wow.
Yeah, he always had like a Charms blow pop. That was his thing.
And so I bought him one and I brought it and I was going to give it to him. And it's a three and a half hour line.
And I'm, I'm waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting. I finally get right to the front of the line and they go, that's it.
Mr. Savalas has to leave.
And he fucking bails and I'm standing there with my sucker. And I kind of look for somebody I think is important.
And I go, excuse me, would you give Mr. Savalas my sucker? And he goes, oh, kid, that's so thoughtful.
I sure will. And I walk away and I'm going down the escalator.
I turn around to watch and the guy throws it in the trash can. Oh.
That's awful. That actually stayed with me forever because whenever, like, I meet someone, I'm always like, don't be Telly Savalas.
Don't throw it in the sun. When they give you a bag of freshly cooked homemade cookies, you're like, I'm going to eat these.
In fairness, it wasn't Telly who did it. It was a guy.
It's true. It wasn't Telly.
He probably would have taken it. Telly would have sucked it.
For sure. He probably would have shoved it and thrown it at you.

Yep.

Well, I want to listen.

I haven't listened.

I'm not really into podcasts.

Well, you make a hit podcast.

You don't need to listen to another one.

I get it.

It's a radio show.

To Will, he's doing radio.

It is radio.

It's morning zoo.

I feel like it's morning zoo.

Drive time.

Yeah, drive time.

I'm just trying to copy my buddy Johnny Vaughn over there in the UK. And Rob, you're a helicopter pilot.
How's the traffic on the five? You know, it's looking a little backed up over here as the pulver to pass. It's taillights as far as you can see.
We got the uniform for it. Well, Rob, let's get out again.
Let's get out and play again. Yes.
That was really fun.

I want to be a part of that as soon as my granddad backheels up.

Yeah, that's not good, man.

No, I know.

Don't come back too soon.

I know.

I got a date coming up in two days.

Are you doing ice baths?

You got a date in two days?

And Amanda's cool with that?

She's just like... She wants me to be smart and safe,

and she's letting me make my own decision, which is nice. So she doesn't mind that you're are you both dating or is it just you um i uh i i am icing it that does seem to help good yeah i'll tell you one of the nicest thing and this is a true story this is not a bit i hurt my back a couple years ago now and i was at and i texted jb i was like my back really hurts anyway i was at home and all of a sudden out of nowhere into my backyard comes jason and he's got like a back heating thing you know like an icy hot thing and and a bunch of stuff that he brought for my back i just dropped it off and then i just dropped it off and he came into my backyard i was in the sauna he came and he knocked he's like i got all this stuff i was like just like a little angel and then got back in my car and left.
And he came into my backyard. I was in the sauna and he came in and he knocked and he's like, I got all this stuff.
I was like. Just like a little angel.
And then got back in his car and left. That's right.
Once a year. Yeah.
Once, once, yeah. Once a decade.
Even a stop clock. I thought even a stop clock, you know? Yeah.
Tells the right time twice a day. Okay.
Listen, Rob, we love you, man. I'm so excited about your show with John and he's such a nice kid.

Yeah, you can talk to him for hours. Be reincarnated as.
We tried to get him on. I tried to get him on before.
He was the one we had technical glitch a couple weeks ago. Oh, yeah? That was Rob, yes.
Oh, that was Rob. Oh, I didn't know.
So I've been trying to get him on here forever. You know, we had a technical glitch with McConaughey way back when, right? When are you going to rebook him? I don't know.
I want to get him back on here. That was great.
Because when we do have McConaughey on, then we can go through. Hopefully we have the recording of.

Who was laughing? And you slapped your laptop. Yeah, that was so great.
And then we can talk about contact. We can talk about contact.
You know, but it did occur to me. You're going to fucking break me today, Sean, with the contact.
It occurred to me earlier, like, it is somewhat, it's either dangerous or good or whatever about this thing is that we do this all the time. We're always just sort of just, you know, almost every day we're picking up the, we're talking with one another, no matter what mood we're in.
And we drag that into these interviews, these conversations for the public. And oftentimes we're doing this thing in a bad mood.
And like, what if we like, what if we get in a fight with one another? I mean, I know it's been tense a couple times, but like people just get like warts and all on this. Is that smart for us to be doing that? Why not? It's real.
It's normal. It's real, I guess.
Also, who cares? Who cares? We're not going to get in a fight. Like what's the worst number? Fuck you, Sean.
Fuck you. Don't you disagree with what I'm saying.
We've had I think it's I don't know. I just think I really mean it when I say who cares.
We might as well. Yeah.
Right? Because it's going to be lights out at some point and then Anyway, Rob Lowe Love Rob Lowe. This Rob Lowe.
Hey, you know, Rob was in contact. Rob was in contact.
He was. He was in contact.
And by the way, he's not allergic to work. Boy, he works a lot.
By the way, just for the record, no recollection of him in contact, or Matthew McConaughey for that matter. Well, Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster were the stars.
Yeah, yeah. But I only remember her in it, and wasn't there a kid too? No? There were no kids.
Oh, I'm conflating. You thinking of Nell? Another Jodie Foster vehicle.
I do remember the incredible opening pullback, right? From Earth. Amazing.
All the way back. Oh, and I emailed you that one shot where she runs into the mirror.
Into the mirror, yep. How'd they do it? I still don't know how they do that.
Oh, that's the kid when she was a little kid. Yes, thank you.

Thank you.
