ENTOURAGE REUNION! Kevin Connolly & Kevin Dillon Reminisce Being On-Set, Favorite Cameos & Reboot?

Speaker 1 Us in the bathroom at the Golden Globe story.

Speaker 2 I'm at the urinal.

Speaker 1 James Cameron was a good crazy people.

Speaker 2 Or like Johnny Debbie Scott or somebody. Connie comes walking, and what do I say? All right, cover up, gentlemen.
We got a peeker in here.

Speaker 2 You can see everyone cover up.

Speaker 1 I thought we were going to maybe play play a little Jane's Addiction superhero, being that it's officially Entourage Week. What's up, Matt?

Speaker 3 How you doing today? Entourage Week, the best week of the year. I'm good, buddy.
How are you?

Speaker 1 I love that it's Entourage Week. And yes, we have a real, it's the show that a lot of you on Twitter have been saying to me.
What, I mean, you guys posted about it in November.

Speaker 2 What happened?

Speaker 3 Hey, we just, we're just keeping them on their toes, but it is finally here.

Speaker 2 It's here.

Speaker 1 I'm fired up.

Speaker 1 We got to sit down with Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon, two of my dear friends, who shot, like, I know we even talked about it, I think, in the actual interview, which we'll get to, but you and Connolly definitely were around each other in the

Speaker 2 2000s, for sure. Yeah,

Speaker 3 we had a couple

Speaker 3 interesting Hollywood run-ins. So I like, I mean, I've known him forever.
I mean, I'm probably as long as you, as far as just like running in his circle for a little bit.

Speaker 3 Dylan, I had never met, which was awesome to hang out with him.

Speaker 3 He was exactly how you described.

Speaker 2 The best.

Speaker 3 The best, a little crazy, a little off the wall, but like just the best, man. Like he was just awesome.
Like I felt like I felt like we were best friends, honestly.

Speaker 3 But it was fun. It was real, for me, it was really fun

Speaker 3 just throwing it back because it, because you know, it was one of my favorite shows in that time. Just to see the three of you reminisce the memories, the moments.
Just, it brought back so much.

Speaker 3 And it was just fun. Those guys, just just, it was like you guys have never, like, you haven't missed a beat.
Just ribbing each other, jokes, and all that. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 It's always something where even I, I, I remember this from the last time you were all together. I think it was like this past September.
When we're all together,

Speaker 1 it's just different. I guess in the sports world, it's almost like, you know, back in the day, if you saw Kobe and Shaq, they'd obviously be excited to see Kobe.

Speaker 1 I'm not comparing us to the Lakers, by the way. Everyone calm down.
But like when you see people who are known for a thing together in their real life outside of that thing,

Speaker 1 it confuses people. And I think it's pretty cool.
So yeah, they jump on.

Speaker 1 It's really now we're prepared for 10,000 reboot questions, which honestly have been happening ever since early, early last year.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 you fit right in. If you haven't seen Matt's audition, by the way, we put you through the ringer yesterday.

Speaker 3 It was funny while we were doing it, but I was like, I was trying to lock. I was trying to lock in.

Speaker 3 And you took it serious. I did.
And after rewatching it, it was actually really.

Speaker 3 It was just maybe Dylan just so fucking funny, man.

Speaker 3 That was great. I want to ask you just really quick.
Like, I know you guys don't get together very often.

Speaker 3 I'm sure you're on a text chat. I'm sure all those things and like that.
But

Speaker 3 what is it like for you just when you're back with those guys?

Speaker 3 When I was sitting there with you, and again, this was a couple of months ago, but I, but honestly, when I was sitting there with you and getting to know you now over the last six months, I saw, I saw like a different not even a different side of you but i saw like i saw a side of you that's like those are like that was that was a big big part of your life you know what i mean like it was it was really cool to see the interaction between you guys i thought it was pretty neat to see we have such a shorthand together you know like everything is a memory every

Speaker 1 story that pops up it really and that's how i think you could really tell the test of any friendship whether it's a former teammate or just a friend from high school where time will go by because, you know, they all have kids.

Speaker 1 I have kids, you have kids, we're all busy.

Speaker 1 Time will go by, but it's that friend where wherever, whether it's a phone call or you see him out or you're together for something and it's like no time has passed.

Speaker 1 And that has always been what it's like. I've gone a couple of years even without seeing Grignier.
And then when I see Adrian,

Speaker 1 I felt like he's been in my life this entire time. And I think that really is what the show always tried to do was capture that fun friendship part.
And I just think we always had that.

Speaker 1 And I don't think it's something you can cast. Similar with a team, I don't think it's something you can draft.
You hope it happens. It's like that magic in a bottle.

Speaker 3 I think championship teams and sports are all about personalities and getting different personalities to mesh. And also, and just

Speaker 3 you play for one common goal, right? And that's just to win a championship. The same with making a show.
You want to put out the best show, and you guys got to mesh and all that. And it is there.

Speaker 3 It was very cool to see. I'm going to ask you now, and you just mentioned reboot.
What is the latest with an Entourage reboot? And will we ever see one?

Speaker 1 So in my opinion,

Speaker 1 I never thought it would ever happen.

Speaker 2 And it probably still won't.

Speaker 1 But for the first time for me, I could say, I see it.

Speaker 2 now.

Speaker 1 I have not seen it since the movie came out and the movie did like, eh, just did okay. It wasn't as good as we hoped it would be.

Speaker 1 But a lot of other things were going on then like culture was changing. And we

Speaker 1 for a while after the movie became like people forgot and tried to claim like

Speaker 1 entourage wasn't really a thing. We talked horrible to each other and we can't do that stuff again.
Now, did we say awful things to each other on the show? Absolutely.

Speaker 1 Did it come from a weird place of love? Absolutely.

Speaker 1 And I do think there will be a show, whether it's an entourage reboot or some other show, that does go back and capture male adult friendship romance that I just don't think you have on TV right now.

Speaker 1 Is there one? Can you find one right now?

Speaker 3 There's not. And your show, your show just stands a test of time.
You could turn that show on right now.

Speaker 3 Cole, my 18-year-old son, college kids now, high school pro, like they could watch that and relate. And that's what makes a show so great.

Speaker 3 And you always talk about this, how, you know, athletes always recognize you.

Speaker 3 They were with you at the Fanatics Party last week. Like they just like, like Turtle from Entourage is an iconic figure.
That's an iconic show.

Speaker 3 I think,

Speaker 3 gosh, I just think a reboot, I think something would,

Speaker 3 it would still translate in today's world, almost even better in today's world, because of just access and social.

Speaker 3 And now I just feel like with, especially with college kids getting paid, they have their entourage. There's just so many different things now that were different 20 years ago.
I'm all in.

Speaker 3 I'm petitioning now. I know

Speaker 3 you've educated me on the process.

Speaker 3 I know there's a lot of hoops to get through and financial stuff and people signing on, all these things, but my God, dude, that thing would, it would, to see you guys in your old age as dads.

Speaker 1 I really do think, though, Matt, like I said, I didn't see it even like two, three years ago. Number one, I had a hard time seeing what these characters would be doing now.

Speaker 1 And then also, like we said, it not trying to even have a big cancel culture conversation, but we had a certain brand of humor that was.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but that's acceptable that at some point society just wasn't acceptable anymore.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but I think it's, I think, one, it's coming back. We're seeing that in all the stand-up shows now.
A lot of comics were getting censored. Now they're just like, fuck that.
We don't care.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I've.

Speaker 3 I feel like there's a corner being turned with you can just like, those are the shows, especially on streaming services and Netflix and all that.

Speaker 3 Like, you can pretty much do whatever you want, I would imagine. But yeah, I mean, let's do it, dude.
I know you're guys.

Speaker 1 I feel like I know. And we pitch, we actually

Speaker 1 Connolly, a few of like fun spo for the first time, I think, in a very long time, probably since the movie, I could actually, I think I know what these characters are up to right now.

Speaker 1 Now, obviously, Doug Ellery's job.

Speaker 3 You're filthy rich. Am I? Somehow, some way, nobody knows.
Or I know your whole thing is you blow your money. I don't like that.
I want to keep you rich.

Speaker 2 You want to keep you, Turtle rich?

Speaker 3 I love your wife, Brie. You probably marry some A-list actress in the show, you know,

Speaker 3 Connolly. I don't know.

Speaker 2 Maybe like Jessica Alba and Turtle.

Speaker 2 Speaking of really quick. Jessica Alba and Turtle.

Speaker 3 I do want to get Emmanuel on.

Speaker 2 I know that's. Emmanuel Shrieky who played.

Speaker 3 Yeah, who played Sloane. I want to get her on just because I'm a fan and I think she's amazing.

Speaker 3 But I think, especially after this episode airs and all that, I think we got to get her on and just talk shop.

Speaker 2 Oh, shoot, we could do that.

Speaker 3 I would love to get her perspective as kind of the lead kind of female in that show as far as just all that.

Speaker 1 Cause I know you guys are all really tight with her well you know also

Speaker 1 plus my brother it's like one of my entourage didn't have strong female characters according to uh what the criticisms were after the show was off the air and then when i look around it was emmanuel shrieky constance zimmer debbie mazar beverly dingelo perry reeves it's like these were all regular parts of the show ari uh piven's wife's what was her name perry reeves she played mrs ari yeah she was great people actually got mad like well you didn't even give her a name it was a joke for seven years that that her name didn't cut.

Speaker 1 Like, that was the whole point.

Speaker 2 There you go. I didn't even know her name.

Speaker 1 That's the whole point. Her real name was Melissa on the show.

Speaker 1 So anyway, I think without further ado, well, you know what? We have a little business to do before we get to the entourage, guys. We got to hear from our good people at Wendy's.

Speaker 1 I think I know what you're going to want to talk about today, which I'm fired up about. So it's time for fresh moves of the week.
Brought to you by Wendy's. Go to Wendy's.

Speaker 1 Taste the difference in a hamburger. Matt.
What is our fresh move of the week?

Speaker 3 Well, first of all, it's actually a nice little pivot because

Speaker 3 your boy Connolly is a die-hard hockey fan, right?

Speaker 1 Massive hockey for me with basketball, massive hockey fan.

Speaker 3 So die-hard hockey fan. We're going to dive into this episode in a second with the entourage, guys.
But before,

Speaker 3 this hockey Four Nations face-off is

Speaker 3 awesome. It is must-see TV.
And

Speaker 3 basically what it is, I was just looking this up. There's not an all-star game this weekend

Speaker 3 for the NHL. So instead of that, they did this Four Nations face-off.
Four teams, it's Canada, Finland, Sweden, U.S., little round-robin tournament, the finals, whatever.

Speaker 3 The finals are on tonight, USA, Canada. But before we dig into that for a second, did you see last weekend three seconds in the just full brawl to start?

Speaker 1 It was so wild.

Speaker 1 If I didn't know better, the conspiracy part of me was like, oh, they planned that for the ratings. They just wanted.

Speaker 2 They planned and they might have to fight. No, they didn't.

Speaker 3 No, I think they planned in advance to fight because they don't like each other that's what it was they really there's no love loss there well that and that and so it the whole conversation last weekend was nba all-star game right and all the negativity and how do you get ratings how do you get eyeballs well you just look at and this is the difference i'm not going to dive into nba but the hockey just

Speaker 3 three seconds in usa maybe is i mean is it fair to say maybe little brother to canada and hockey just i think maybe yes their national sport is their national space

Speaker 3 now we've gotten a a lot better, obviously. We're very good, but just, you know,

Speaker 3 we're behind in the U.S. in hockey traditionally over the past, whatever, 40, 50 years.

Speaker 3 They hate each other, and you see the stars playing, which is awesome, right?

Speaker 1 Getting injured left and right, guys getting going down.

Speaker 3 David and Crosby are playing for, I mean, the who's who are playing. Drew Dowdy, who's a bit, I'm a big fan of Drew Dowdy, plays for the Kings.

Speaker 3 And three seconds in, they just start, the Chuck brothers, they just start brawling. And it gets people fired up.
People want to see.

Speaker 3 And now what they've done is now the fact that they're back in the finals tonight, later on tonight,

Speaker 3 it's going to, millions of people are going to watch that. Must watch it.
Because

Speaker 3 it has the Olympic feel. And I think that's the cool, it's about your country.
I think NHL hit a slam dunk doing this thing. It is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 To make a Wendy's reference, the NHL to the NBA said, hold my burger, watch this.

Speaker 3 Yes, they did.

Speaker 1 And let me tell you, it worked. You're right.
They captured every, and it's must-watch. Tomorrow, oh, tonight is must-watch.

Speaker 2 Are you going to watch it? I'll be watching. Are you kidding?

Speaker 1 Words I never thought I'd say unless the Stanley Cup were on and the Rangers were in. Must watch.

Speaker 2 Do you think there will be another?

Speaker 3 I think there could be a fight. I don't think there'll be a fight to start the game.

Speaker 1 I don't think it'll be to start the game, but I think if it's 1-1 or 2-2

Speaker 1 in

Speaker 1 mid-third period and it's getting chippy and guys are getting hit left and right. Yeah, I think we're seeing a fight for sure.

Speaker 3 Shout out to the NHL, man.

Speaker 3 By the way, instead of an all-star weekend, we're just going to have a Four Nations World Tournament, which has been the best thing they've seen.

Speaker 1 They weren't afraid to break the tradition. Oh, this is what we are doing.

Speaker 3 The problem is you need your best players to buy in. And that ship has sailed with the NBA.

Speaker 1 Very true. Very true.
All right. Thank you to Wendy's.

Speaker 1 Whether you are on the field, off the field, or hosting a podcast like me, cachava's whole body meal shakes will keep your body and mind nourished all day.

Speaker 1 So for me, my health journey has been a long road. You know, I got into some really good shape years ago.

Speaker 1 And now 10 years later, having kids, being pretty busy with this podcast for me it was really hard for lunches i feel like i could handle breakfast well and dinner well but i needed that great meal replacement something healthy for lunch and that's where cachava came in and First guess for me was the flavors.

Speaker 1 I said, what is this going to taste like? And chocolate has quickly become my favorite. I'm a big chia seeds guy.
Lots of benefits from chia seeds. They also have 25 grams of plant protein.

Speaker 1 I was curious how plant protein was going to taste. It was pretty good, as well as 26 26 vitamins and minerals, six grams of fiber.
And it really is good for me being so on the go.

Speaker 1 No, I have something. And my personal move is: I'm a big frozen fruit guy.
That's why I get the smoothie to be really cold. So I add a little frozen fruit.

Speaker 1 When I want to feel a little fuller, throw in a little bit of peanut butter right there. Cachava has been great, and I want to give you guys the chance to try it yourself.

Speaker 1 I've been short my whole life, so it's not a big shock when people are like, oh, you're so short. I'm like, yeah, I know, Dick.

Speaker 2 I've been short this week. Well, that's what I was saying.
I was like, I'm just waiting for somebody to acknowledge that you guys have this shit. This is a meaningless point.

Speaker 2 We have gotten these guys back to back so many times on the show in front of the whole crew.

Speaker 3 They're exactly

Speaker 2 the same height. You get older.
Exactly the same height.

Speaker 2 Somebody spoofed us. I remember they did it.
And I was... I was a girl.
A girl played me. And someone played.
They're like, how do you feel about playing a girl?

Speaker 2 I'm like, I'm just happy that they finally acknowledged that I'm tall.

Speaker 2 I'm glad that

Speaker 1 you remember my response to you every time you'd say you were half inch taller. What do I always say? Do you remember? What is it? I say, yeah, but I just look.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 I just feel

Speaker 2 bigger and taller than you. Do you want to do this right now? No, that's good.
Look, by the way, I will say,

Speaker 1 I 100% have shrunk in the last 10 years.

Speaker 2 I think Connolly's a little older than you. He may have shrunk more, though.

Speaker 3 Well, I got to stand up and see.

Speaker 2 There could be shrinkage.

Speaker 2 Let's take a look at this. This is really close.
Yeah, I mean, we've done this a million times.

Speaker 3 These guys are identical.

Speaker 2 Dylan's.

Speaker 1 Who's got it?

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 3 I would say Connolly's got a little man.

Speaker 2 Hair.

Speaker 1 Are you saying I've used bigger product? So can we flatten it just the same?

Speaker 2 I got it.

Speaker 3 You're splitting hairs, but I would say Connolly probably buy a hair.

Speaker 2 A little bit more.

Speaker 1 Well, I tried calling you last week because Matt on the podcast, we were talking about the Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight.

Speaker 1 And he asked me a question that really, I'm like, oh, Connolly would love this question. You would too.

Speaker 1 Matt asked, all right, if Jake Paul calls you and Connolly, or even me and you, but let's use me and you because now we're the same size. Right.

Speaker 3 And they're like, hey, million apiece.

Speaker 2 Fight him at the same time.

Speaker 1 You and Jerry get in the ring on the undercard of Tyson Paul.

Speaker 2 Oh, oh, I thought you were saying just fight him at the same time. No, I wouldn't want to.
Can I rest?

Speaker 2 At least can it be the rest? How about this?

Speaker 3 Is there someone that you would want, that you would, you hate so much, you dislike? I asked Jerry this, like, that you would actually do, like, I want to go in a boxing match and beat the out of him.

Speaker 2 I'd rather fight like in a bar or something. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Who's it in the bar? Not in a bar, but I don't know.

Speaker 3 I asked you this week, like, who is your arch nemesis?

Speaker 2 Did I have one? Who was Seth Green? Oh,

Speaker 2 like, the characters would have definitely two days ago. I got a picture of it.
I saw Seth these days. You ran into him? Yeah.
Yeah, I got a picture of Starbucks.

Speaker 2 He still leans into the

Speaker 2 Vinny Chase and the Chases. He's the best.

Speaker 2 He's such a good guy. Yeah, he's, well, no, he's.
He was telling me he could whoop both of you guys. Remember, well, remember the fight scene? We had to do the fight scene in Vegas.

Speaker 2 Do you remember that story? I was trying to say that. And you were just like, I just can't be whooped by Seth.

Speaker 2 I don't care what happens. I just can't.

Speaker 1 So we all agree no actor wants to get their ass kicked on.

Speaker 2 Right. We should have.

Speaker 2 We should have thought about it. So the way it works, you show up and there's a rehearsal, right? So the first thing is a stunt rehearsal.
So we're all sitting there. Remember this? I do.

Speaker 2 We're at Body English in the hard rock. We have our coffees.

Speaker 2 We're shooting there.

Speaker 1 We're shooting there.

Speaker 2 I remember that. We're like, we're like sitting there and like, all right, all right, rehearsal's up.
And then the stunt men go through the thing. I see this dude get launched over the balcony.

Speaker 2 I'm like, whoa, who's that guy?

Speaker 1 And he's like, oh, yeah, that's you. I go,

Speaker 1 God.

Speaker 2 That never happened.

Speaker 2 I said, are you guys serious? What I'm just going to get bounced off every wall in the place on my own show. No chance.
No chance.

Speaker 2 And Seth's like, well, yeah, like I, you could argue I'm doing you guys a favor. I don't know that I should get bounced.
Right. Why are you going to make the cameo get his ass in?

Speaker 2 And then Seth says, let's just see what happens.

Speaker 2 Yes, man.

Speaker 2 Turning into a nightmare.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Seth said, well, let's just roll and see what happens. So, did you fight him?

Speaker 2 Well, we we rolled for half a take, and then I said, Yeah, let's see what happens.

Speaker 3 So, when you roll and you see what happens, you're just obviously

Speaker 2 like, you know, Seth is one of those guys that could easily be like a double jiu-jitsu black belt acquired. True, he's like, So you were like, Damn, I might get my ass.

Speaker 2 He might actually take this seriously, right? Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 And remember, too, like, Adrian for a second was like, What do I do? We're like, You do nothing, you stand on Smith back to the bar, and you do, you do absolutely, yeah. No actor wants to get beat up.

Speaker 1 All right, Dylan, have you done scenes where you had to lose lose a fight? Because Johnny Drama was

Speaker 2 like a one-shot dude. Johnny always won.
He was the hero of that scene, too. I stepped in and like.

Speaker 2 You were. Well, you saw the Seth Green event.
Yeah, I'm always there for you guys. But you've got to take a couple of beatings in your career, right? I've been to movies.
Got smacked around the city.

Speaker 2 Where I had to lose. Yeah, it sucks.
No scene. Remember?

Speaker 3 Are you like...

Speaker 2 That was real.

Speaker 3 You don't do, so there's no stunt doubles for those, right? There are. There are.
You guys aren't doing like these big crazy action scenes. but

Speaker 2 when you're getting

Speaker 3 lose, are you like, hey, hit me a little bit here or slap me or something?

Speaker 2 Yeah, sometimes I'll say, yeah, let's not do it a million times, but let's get one good one for the camera where you could really give me a good slap.

Speaker 3 Like Tyson slap Jake Paul. Like, that was a real slap.

Speaker 1 You guys on the Victory Podcast, did you ever tell the Klitsch Go fight story? Yeah,

Speaker 2 we've told it.

Speaker 1 So we could talk about it real quick. All right.
So one of the first live event things we ever shot at, I think even before the Laker games, it was like episode three.

Speaker 1 It was the first we shot, you know, HBO did the fights. We shot at a Klitsch Klitschgo fight, right?

Speaker 1 And it was the first time we were doing this sort of thing. It's funny because I was at Staples Center two weeks ago, and we did that exact walk we do after.

Speaker 1 And we're all sitting together in a row, and then Luke Wilson is doing a cameo, doing us a solid real quick when we couldn't get cameos at all.

Speaker 2 He's with us,

Speaker 1 so he's with us at the fight, and we see him later. But we're doing the fight part, and I want to say, was it all of like Klitschko's family in front of the Klitschko

Speaker 1 Bernie? Do you remember it clearly? Because I don't know.

Speaker 2 No, I just remember.

Speaker 2 There's a row of big guys, just giant

Speaker 2 Ukrainian,

Speaker 2 whatever.

Speaker 1 So at one point, I feel like they were just standing up a lot during the fight, and Luke was like, hey, like, down in front, like, sit down.

Speaker 2 No way, babe. No, am I wrong? Kevin Connolly took

Speaker 2 a piece of paper, crumpled it up, and threw it at him.

Speaker 2 I said, hey, sit down. He threw a piece of paper and hit one of the guys.
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 Do you remember who was hit? I threw Lennox Lewis. Lennox Lewis.
Lennox Lewis in the back.

Speaker 3 So you did that as part of the show?

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he actually hit Lennox Lewis.
Or you're just fucking around. He's did that on his own.
Yeah, what are you doing? He went wrong.

Speaker 2 We were supposed to be rowdy and I was like,

Speaker 2 I don't think he meant to hit Lennox. I think he was going for someone else.
Right. But we were on.
I knew we were doing it.

Speaker 3 Did those guys know that you were filming behind you?

Speaker 2 No, no one knew. No one knew.

Speaker 1 No one knew but us. And then that's

Speaker 1 at some point. One of the giant, I don't know if he was a Klitschko relative or not, just turned around, open hand.

Speaker 1 smacks Luke Wilson in the face.

Speaker 2 And he's all punk. Luke Wilson's no.

Speaker 1 We all kind of like snap into action for a minute, and then you just look at the size of the whole row.

Speaker 2 That was like, we're going to get slaughtered. God, we're in trouble.

Speaker 1 Talk about getting beat up on your own show.

Speaker 2 That would have been...

Speaker 3 Did that make it cut?

Speaker 1 There's video of it.

Speaker 2 It did not make the cut, but that's on film. Film.
Oh, that's on that episode.

Speaker 3 You can see some of that happening?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. No, not really.
No, I mean, I don't think that's a good idea. I don't think you feel the tension, but you could probably ID those dudes.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And then we...
Just ID him.

Speaker 2 That was a good one.

Speaker 1 Would you say we were like a competitive group, the four of us, well, the three of us, I should say, within each other?

Speaker 2 other of course right

Speaker 2 the three of us you just leave out adrian adrian's not a competitive guy any sport if if we're playing basketball if we're throwing snowballs at each other it's uh anything yeah

Speaker 1 i talk about this with with matt and uh matt's been in some movies he's been on sets we're gonna we're gonna get you later with something but

Speaker 1 i think you know actors don't always get reputations of being like tough or whatever.

Speaker 1 You two have, and I say this to my dying day, I would put what you guys did up with any NFL injury, anything, because you saved the photo shoot that was not going to happen.

Speaker 1 We finally got, this is like season four. We got excited because we got the entertainment weekly cover, which is a big deal at the time.

Speaker 2 I don't even think it was that, bro. I think it was the first cover.
I think it was like, no, it was something bigger than that. It was like Vanity Fair.
Or Vanity Fair.

Speaker 2 I thought it was Entertainment Weekly.

Speaker 3 That was like the inside.

Speaker 1 We were the cover story, inside part.

Speaker 1 And, you know, you find out weeks in advance.

Speaker 1 And then I know you guys have maybe told it, but the night before, maybe it was two days before, or the night before, we're shooting a scene where, and it was like a nothing scene.

Speaker 1 Connolly's character pulls up. We're just shooting around in like the driveway.

Speaker 1 And Adrian and Dylan in character are just like shooting around, playing a little one-on-one almost, but not like half speed, right?

Speaker 2 And then what

Speaker 2 did a layup, basically, where you were trying to roll some moves, like you tried to do like a leg shake, and like, you know. And Adrian was trying to play a little too much defense at that stage.

Speaker 1 He's not going to be dangling everywhere.

Speaker 2 He's not going to be playing any offense. So anyway, anyway, I landed on his foot.

Speaker 2 My arm, my hand landed

Speaker 1 between the pavers.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you were going down. They put the basketball hoop in a terrible spot because it looked good for the shot.
It was on

Speaker 2 my hand landed in between the pavers. I had a compound fracture.
Oh, I was gnarly, man. I just popped out.

Speaker 1 I remember Dylan falls with his arm down, and he just starts going, broken arm, broken arm, broken arm. And we're like, okay, dude.
And then

Speaker 1 where we shot, there was a fountain. And his instinct was he took off, he put his arm in the the fountain.
He was looking for something cold.

Speaker 2 Anything cold.

Speaker 2 And then when we looked at the ball, let's get the medic out there. I was like,

Speaker 2 man,

Speaker 2 it was gut-wrenching.

Speaker 1 We called Doug.

Speaker 2 Didn't you call Doug? Colin's like, shows over, bro.

Speaker 2 Connie turned green. We had a sidewalk episode.
Oh, we shut down.

Speaker 3 The next day is what the photo shoot.

Speaker 1 The next morning is the photo shoot.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I went to Cedar Scieni, and I had a, they operated on me. They put a plate in there and a bunch of shoes.

Speaker 1 We all think, all right, we're clearly not doing the photo shoot. We're concerned about him.
So it's like, all right, maybe we'll get the photo shoot down there. And then like Rocky Balboa.

Speaker 1 It's like, no, bro. I'll be at that photo shoot.
I think next morning. That's our first

Speaker 2 cover. I was like,

Speaker 2 we got to make it. You got hurt on Friday, got the surgery on Saturday, and you were at the photo shoot on Sunday in past.

Speaker 1 And if you look, they put, you know, it was the next day.

Speaker 2 I think it was the next day. It was the next day.
It was Saturday. Splitting hairs.
We'll show these photos. Yeah, no, it was the version.

Speaker 3 You broke its surgery and photo shoot the same day.

Speaker 2 We'll just tell that fucking story. We'll show the photos now.
It's even better.

Speaker 2 But you know what? I'll tell you what.

Speaker 2 if you see the cover, I look so bloated because I was on an IV.

Speaker 2 So I look really puffed.

Speaker 1 And we hid your hand.

Speaker 2 He's going to look at it. I'm going to hide my arm behind some of the other guys.

Speaker 1 And is there still metal in your arm from that?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. I've still got a plate and I got screws.

Speaker 2 His is gnarly, bro.

Speaker 1 And so that to me is Iron Man. So I'm sticking up for our actors.
And then Connolly, speaking about our...

Speaker 3 The time I, the hardest hit I ever got hit in the NFL after this.

Speaker 1 Well, Connolly and I are competitive. I think in a healthy way, right? We talk shit to each other.
He breaks my balls 20 and 10. We'll get to that.

Speaker 2 Don't worry.

Speaker 2 So Jerry here is high school.

Speaker 3 All these celebrity all-star games he played, they don't expect to be doing.

Speaker 2 Averaged 20 and 10 in high school.

Speaker 2 I averaged 20 and 10 in high school. What is that? I average 20 and 10 when it went to Duke.
What are you talking?

Speaker 2 I said,

Speaker 2 Blue Devils, 5'6, Jerry.

Speaker 2 Was it 12 and 10, 10? You were double, double average.

Speaker 1 I said for four games,

Speaker 1 I went on a run.

Speaker 2 He actually pulled out an article, too. He did pull out a blurb.
He did pull out an article. I'll be at somewhere.
I'll hear from across an event.

Speaker 1 20 and 10. I'm like, oh, fuck, Connolly's here.
That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 I just think it's an egregious stat.

Speaker 2 You did have a great, that Super Bowl flag football game. Jerry was unstoppable.
He was unbelievable. I'm sure you heard about that.
He's an excellent good athlete.

Speaker 1 Well, this is why we got to get Matt back.

Speaker 2 But he was like

Speaker 2 very ungracious in his MVP. Have you seen this footage? No.

Speaker 1 I took on the heel character. Like the late, great Tony Saragusa was doing the sideline, right? Is this the beach? This is the Direct TV Beach Ball.

Speaker 2 So, but I caught a touch. It looks good on TV.
It looks organized on TV. It looks like a real.

Speaker 1 I caught a TD and

Speaker 1 a two-point conversion, and Saragusa grabs me. He's like, Jerry Gerd.
And he grabs me. By the way, it hurt.
He's like such a big guy.

Speaker 1 And he's like, Jerry, your team's down, but you're playing really well. What would you say to the rest of your team? I just went, play like me.
Can you believe this?

Speaker 2 Connolly's on.

Speaker 2 I said, congratulations. And I can't believe that you would be such a sore winner.
You were missing. Wildly unlikable, Jerry.
Wildly unlikable. Well, speaking of.
And play like me, he says.

Speaker 2 And then you had a couple. Didn't you do like a weird screen?

Speaker 1 I did a sand angel.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 You scored a touchdown and then a sand angel on the deck.

Speaker 1 All right, now you tell me what you think of this, though. So when we're shooting the movie, right? And we had, for whatever reason, we had a lot of...
NFL players.

Speaker 1 Everyone, Matt, you should have been there, by the way.

Speaker 1 We had Russell Wilson, Clay Matthews, Gronk, Edelman.

Speaker 2 You remember this, Dylan? Yeah.

Speaker 1 All these guys.

Speaker 2 There was like 200.

Speaker 1 And we had

Speaker 1 it was on the beach, and they're like, you know what's a great idea? Russ, why don't you throw Connolly and Jerry some routes? It's like, all right, so we immediately get fucking competitive.

Speaker 2 I run

Speaker 2 Russ route. No, no, no.

Speaker 1 Russ tells me to run.

Speaker 1 He tells me to run an out route, I think, right? Okay, I run a little five-yard out, and Connolly fucking drops a shoulder and lays me out on the beach.

Speaker 2 I wrapped my arms around him like Jerry. I'll drop you.
I had no choice. I had no choice.
The camera was rolling.

Speaker 1 So now it's starting to get competitive. Now, Connolly, we switched.
Connolly's on offense.

Speaker 2 I forget whatever route you drew russ airmailed me it rust

Speaker 2 well russ threw a high one but you catch it right no no no he he didn't want me he didn't want me to go out like because there's the cliff oh no it's like i want to go deep and out into the corner he's like no no no i'll cut in i was like no he's like

Speaker 2 We run on the plane. He airmails it, threw the ball off the ledge.

Speaker 1 But that was not when you got the injury.

Speaker 2 No, then I said, all right, I'll go in.

Speaker 1 Then they, yeah.

Speaker 2 So they came in and Jerry lined me up and broke.

Speaker 1 Well, I lined him up. I wrapped him up.
I have him.

Speaker 2 And then this motherfucker starts extending for the end zone.

Speaker 2 I'm trying to break the plane.

Speaker 1 I was going to let go, but now he's trying to break the plane. So I grabbed tight and then he like dies for it and I slid down his body.

Speaker 1 And we just heard like, it was like chopsticks.

Speaker 2 It was like splitting chops.

Speaker 1 Do you remember what I said to you? The first words?

Speaker 2 What was that? I said, what was that?

Speaker 1 He's like, that's my leg.

Speaker 2 My leg. Oh, my God.
And by the way, it was, first of all, there was a four-day thing. And this is like 10.30 in the morning on day one.
I'm like, dude, I knew I was like, I mean, I fed up. Really?

Speaker 2 Are we allowed to curse? Yeah. I knew I fed that one up.

Speaker 1 Right, but do you remember the first attendant on the scene who came up and diagnosed you?

Speaker 2 It was Edelman? It was Edelman.

Speaker 2 What a Gronks. Edelman goes, you're fine, bro.
It's a high ankle sprain. I was like, I don't know.
Do you remember what I said? I said, that's broken.

Speaker 1 Dylan was the only one who thought it was broke.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I said, that's broken. Connolly works a whole day.

Speaker 1 He works a whole day with a high ankle sprain. Gronks telling him, just tie your shoes tight.

Speaker 2 At the end of the day. Don't take your shoes off.
Keep them on.

Speaker 1 At the end of the day, I just remember looking at Kevin. He's like, guys, I fucking, I really think I need to go to the hospital.
Like, all right, let's, we we finished the day.

Speaker 1 Let's get him to the hospital.

Speaker 1 How many breaks did you have?

Speaker 2 No, I mean, I did, no, we did the third, on the end of the third day, I was like, I can't. I had like tears streaming down my face, but I had sunglasses on.
Do you remember what we did?

Speaker 2 You, we had to hit a mark, and he couldn't barely walk. I barely walk.
I mean, in the scene, you can see this in the scene. I basically go, I put my arm around my mouth.

Speaker 2 No, no, no, you grabbed me by my belt, right? I thought I got under the mouth. No, no.
Okay, I grabbed you by the belt. I couldn't

Speaker 2 hit

Speaker 2 like five or six feet away. But it looks natural.
You won't see the movie, though. But if you know it, this is the movie.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah he's the movie everybody's like we're gonna hit that mark no matter what it looked like i was just like gliding across they get my wedgie and put him on a mark that was bad by the way just actors are tough man i just changed all my do you have a different imperson impression now of us not at all oh these three are they're not all tough you know in the movie in the movie remember when there's the shot where we're driving the lincoln through the sound stage uh in the back lot yeah that was only because that was us walking and then when my i broke my leg they're like let's just put them in the lincoln it ended up oh we gotta drive you around

Speaker 1 So your leg break out of the house.

Speaker 2 No, I'm just saying, like, it ain't end of the nice person.

Speaker 1 What's your hardest hit?

Speaker 3 So the worst week of my life. So I'm playing, it's 2007.
We're playing Pittsburgh at home. And I basically, this is James Harrison, Palomalu era.

Speaker 2 Intimidated.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And so I go bootleg, roll out.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 James Harrison just comes free. And James Harrison's about 5, 10, 250 pounds.

Speaker 2 He's watts like a million. He's just mean.

Speaker 3 and I'm just like and I immediately my thought to get out I see him and I my thought is just to kind of jump and just throw a jump ball over him to the flat and just like take the hit that's just what happened in real time

Speaker 3 that happens he picks me up like by my waist and just pile drives me straight down

Speaker 2 that was back when you were allowed to do that right yeah you can no he literally pile drives me and wow so

Speaker 3 So like, I took a lot of guys take a lot of pride. Like, if you get hit to get, just get back up.
Get back to it.

Speaker 2 Don't show him.

Speaker 3 I did did it. Like, I did it when I broke my collarbone.
I got back up and I could feel it. I was just like, oh, fuck.
And I just like, in my mind, I was like, it's not over. It's not over.

Speaker 3 And then I'm like, I called timeout. I was like, it's over.
This was in Houston. So I'm on the ground and I'm like this.
And I'm like, oh, fuck. I can't move.
I couldn't move my back.

Speaker 3 I wasn't, I could move everything. I was just like, so it was the only time in my career.
where I was out. I was down.
Like the trainers came out and they're like, you all right?

Speaker 3 I said, yeah, I think whatever. So I sat out of play.
I finished the game.

Speaker 1 You finished the game.

Speaker 3 Got a little torrad all shot finished the game what should i have an all shot what kind of shot you connoley torrall right in the ass cheek connoely needed a torado shot you can't do that anymore what does it do it just buys you

Speaker 3 it's basically instant yeah it's basically instant like quarter zone it just in boom you have three hours you feel like superman wow so they they but after that three hours is up then well that's cool then that night

Speaker 3 i was like i basically had a back contusion my whole lower back my right butt cheek all the way down to my hamstring was the color of my pants you couldn't it was black and purple oh my god so i got all this treatment for three days, four days.

Speaker 3 I mispracticed. I couldn't move.
I played the next Sunday, so Sunday to Sunday, broke my collarbone that next week against the Rams. And that was, that's, and that's, we had Kurt Warner.

Speaker 3 We had Kurt Warner on a couple weeks ago. And that was like when he took over, and then he ended up taking the job.
But it was the worst seven days.

Speaker 2 It was fucked. Wow.

Speaker 3 James Harrison.

Speaker 1 We are tough, but that sounds like one of the worst.

Speaker 2 No, James Harrison.

Speaker 3 Did you back contusion?

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's like getting hit by a hit.

Speaker 3 But like when you're getting tackled and you just feel you feel the you feel your bone crack, you're like, I'm like, you're like, oh shit.

Speaker 2 And it doesn't hurt right away.

Speaker 3 And then all of a sudden, all of a sudden it's like, oh, God. Like afterward.

Speaker 2 The one time I was doing this movie in Puerto Rico and I got the flu and it was the only time that I could not answer the bell, man. You couldn't work.
I didn't have any dialogue.

Speaker 2 They're like, all you have to do is stand there. I said, I know.

Speaker 2 I'm looking at this. I know what I got.
I can't. You could have showed up, bro.
I can't stand up. I tried, bro.
I tried. It was awful.

Speaker 2 Well, you know what's another crazy thing thing was when i broke when i broke my wrist i got the guy in the van taking me to cedar sinai he's looking at my arm so it's my right arm i by the way i broke them both that's why you were but i'm holding up my it had an s shape in the arm and he's looking at it the whole time like trying to drive to throw up he gets to cedar sinai pulls up the ramp runs around to get the door for me forgets to put it in drive and park, leaves it in drive, and the thing starts rolling down the hill.

Speaker 2 But John had to reach over. someone's trying to kill dylan today

Speaker 2 i had to put the brake on that was wild

Speaker 3 i was i was asking jerry this uh when you guys like going back to the beginning when you're auditioning for this show and obviously iconic show and the chemistry you guys had what what was it like when you first auditioned and you're all getting to know each other because i asked jerry was like did you like Were you and Connolly boys?

Speaker 3 You guys obviously have a competitive relationship. What were those relationships like early on? Was it like synergy right away?

Speaker 2 Yeah, right. I mean, we had a lot in common, all of us.
Yeah, we're all New Yorkers.

Speaker 1 And we didn't know each other. Everyone automatically assumes, oh, you guys must have known each other a little bit, right? And I had never met.

Speaker 1 I was, I really hadn't worked all that much at that point. I'd done like little things here and there, but obviously I'm like, fuck, I know Dylan from Platoon and the doors and Connolly.

Speaker 1 I've been, I was watching his sitcom when I was a kid. So I know these guys, right? I know of them.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 1 but I always say it's the thing that you, and I think it's similar with sports. We're talking to Flarity about it too.
It's like you can't cast chemistry. It either kind of happens or it doesn't.

Speaker 1 Now, sometimes you can not have chemistry in a movie or show could still be good, but it helps to have the chemistry. And I do think that we just had it early on.

Speaker 1 I can't point to why other than maybe it's because we're all from New York.

Speaker 2 Well, I remember when we first met, was at the audition. You were sitting out there.
You had a Giants jersey. I did have a Giants jersey.
Oh, that's it. It might have been LT.
Was it LT?

Speaker 1 I think it was Seahorn.

Speaker 2 I want to say Gornorn. This goes back to my Giants.
I think you're probably wearing the Bettison. As a Giants fan, I'm like, hey, what's up? You from wearing the Bettest fan.

Speaker 2 I'm like, hey, you got another smoke? He was

Speaker 2 smoking. You're a Giants.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm a big fig.

Speaker 2 I must have mooched like five cigarettes off the other.

Speaker 2 Sorry about that. Then I see him at another audition.
Once again, I got no smokes. They got a big jersey on you.
You got another smoke, bro. We're bettis.
This wasn't.

Speaker 2 This was like so. Oh, this was

Speaker 2 early on. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I guess we did about six.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of

Speaker 2 four auditions and then the screen test.

Speaker 1 It all heads to

Speaker 1 the final day where it's like cut day. It's the test, right? Where the net HBO is there, all the producers, and then you're in the waiting room and you have like, there's like three actors for Turtle.

Speaker 1 I could see the other turtles. You could see the other actors.

Speaker 1 There was no other dramas. They have to pick the best.

Speaker 2 I didn't know there was no other drama. I tried no other drama.
I tried to tell a couple guys.

Speaker 3 Was there ever like, so you were auditioning for Turtle with the other guys?

Speaker 3 Some of the other guys, did they ever become like big-time actors?

Speaker 2 Yeah, there's like a missed out.

Speaker 3 You know, you always hear that, like, oh, they could have had that role, but they missed out.

Speaker 2 It's not missing out. It's not missing.
Either the guy or not.

Speaker 3 Who are they?

Speaker 1 Well, I know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 There's an actor named Dash Mayhoff, who was on Ray Donovan for a year. He's been in a million thing.
He never stopped working.

Speaker 2 More than anybody, yeah.

Speaker 1 But I know, I almost didn't get it because everyone's concerned was always like me and Dylan. Like, there's like not that big of an age gap, but these guys are supposed to be in high school together.

Speaker 1 And I get like, that's why they made made me. I, that's why Turtle always had a beard.
I couldn't even grow a beard back then.

Speaker 1 And they put me in these like baggy jerseys because they were trying to make me look older.

Speaker 1 And basically, they told me, like, if you don't, if you're not going to get it, it's going to be because you're too young. You're 23 and you look like you're 12.

Speaker 2 Before all the deep dives on the show, nobody ever

Speaker 1 ever mentioned, like, there's no way Turtle and Johnny Drama went to high. Never was a thing.

Speaker 2 Right. Not one time.

Speaker 1 No one ever mentioned it. It's fucking good.
But yeah, like the chemistry.

Speaker 2 Like, I was let back a couple of years later. Probably

Speaker 2 you were at old high school.

Speaker 1 But I will say, too, do you think what Wahlberg did helped?

Speaker 1 But we shot the pilot and then when we got picked up, there's a big time gap in between shooting the pilot and when HBO makes the decision like, all right, we're going to go with your show.

Speaker 1 Once we got word, we're going to start shooting in like three weeks, Wahlberg says, all right, I'm going to take you guys on a private plane. Now, me, I've never flown.

Speaker 1 flown three times in my life, let alone PJ.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 1 We're going to go to Vegas. We're going to go to an HBO flight.
We're going to roll together. We're going to like research.
We'll do some research.

Speaker 1 And I remember rolling up to the Burbank Airport, like, I got a tail number

Speaker 2 about meeting Mark Wahlberg. They're like, get the fuck out of here.
That's awful. Do you remember what fight that was?

Speaker 1 It was Roy Jones Tarver. No?

Speaker 2 Wasn't it Corrales? Wasn't it like something crazy?

Speaker 1 Or maybe it was like one of the Corrales. It was a Coralis fight.
Yeah, it was an insane fight.

Speaker 1 But we go on a private plane to Vegas, the four of us with Mark and like three of his boys. And we just had an amazing weekend and came back.

Speaker 1 And it was very evident at that moment, like, okay, we got the

Speaker 1 chemistry. We really do.

Speaker 2 It was fun.

Speaker 1 I guess it's kind of like that in sports, too, right? You can't, you don't know coming in, like, hey, me and Larry Fitzgerald are going to have this amazing. You just don't know.

Speaker 1 It either happens or it doesn't.

Speaker 2 I always actually have a theory as well. Like, we were never any competition for each other.
Right. No.
Like, Kevin and Jeremy were a little bit more experienced and a little bit older.

Speaker 2 You had a lot of roles.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it wasn't like, you know, Jerry, you know, Adrian was, you know, in a band as well. And like, the Honey Brothers.
There's never any real direct competition.

Speaker 2 The tricky part was the screen test was knowing who's who. You know, I remember at times I was calling you E and I'm like, oh, wait, he's E.
Okay. I got to figure out who's.

Speaker 1 I did. I did have a surreal Wahlberg moment at the test.
You remember like what they do is. It's almost like the Olympics.
You're going to do your individual read and then we're going to pair you up.

Speaker 1 I go in for my individual read and it was like, I thought it was okay. I was just doing what I normally thought I was doing.

Speaker 1 I come back out to that awful waiting room where everyone's nervous and Wahlberg comes out. I'd never met Wahlberg at this point.
And he's like pointing at someone and he's like motioning.

Speaker 1 I'm like, fuck, he's motioning for me. So I walk over and he literally puts his arm around me.
He's like, listen, that was fine what you did in there.

Speaker 1 But like, you know, that moment everyone talks about, like, this is your moment. This is your fucking moment.
You're like kind of fucking it up.

Speaker 2 Like, I don't care.

Speaker 1 He said to me, I don't care about the script. I don't care.
Just go do what you've been doing. Be yourself.

Speaker 2 Stop being nervous.

Speaker 3 This is already after.

Speaker 2 This was, I didn't get the part.

Speaker 2 I made it to the final three.

Speaker 1 It's like the final three were dueling to the so he wanted you. He was like, I want this kid to I think in their mind, like maybe I was the leader in the club, but by the way,

Speaker 2 he already saw you.

Speaker 1 He said, I've seen your tapes. I know what, like,

Speaker 1 I don't know if he even said, like, be mean, be more New York, like, just be have more attitude. And it was like the greatest cup of coffee in the eye.
I remember walking back, like,

Speaker 1 holy shit, I got to step it up. And then what gets real nerve-wracking, they send people home.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They're like, okay,

Speaker 1 you can go, Kevin. And in the very end, it was like Kevin, Kevin, Jerry, and I think it was a different Adrian.
You four stay, come on in, and we read together, and you just walk home.

Speaker 1 And you still don't know.

Speaker 1 You still don't know when you leave.

Speaker 2 They couldn't get Adrian out of Mexico.

Speaker 2 Right, Adrian was like Vince was hiding in Mexico.

Speaker 1 Adrian wasn't at the test.

Speaker 2 So they couldn't.

Speaker 3 Why was he hiding in Mexico?

Speaker 2 God only knows.

Speaker 1 I just don't even think that he, at that point. He was like living on the

Speaker 2 guitar and like walking around.

Speaker 1 I don't think he cared much if he got it or not. I didn't think he knew how much he was up for the role.

Speaker 2 But he put himself on tape and someone in the office cut my audition and his audition together.

Speaker 3 I mean, that's his biggest role. I mean, that's

Speaker 1 I don't think he knew even at the time.

Speaker 3 And hindsight is 20.

Speaker 1 Of course, I do remember the president of HBO at the time. He's like, you guys have no Vince.
So you have no show. Show's not getting made.
We didn't have Vince at that. We were locked in.

Speaker 1 Vince was not cast. And then that editor made that tape of Connolly's audition.
He cut it with Adrian's audition tape. And Chris Alrich watched it and went, okay, you guys can go make the pilot.

Speaker 1 And that was it. So,

Speaker 2 remember the opening scene,

Speaker 2 the change of the scene?

Speaker 2 We shot the original opening of the pilot, which is like a three or four page scene.

Speaker 1 I heard it wasn't great.

Speaker 2 It was us at

Speaker 2 Tom Bergens, wasn't it? Tom Bergens. Tom Bergens.
Tom Bergens. I had a couple of nights in Tom Bergens.

Speaker 1 You've definitely had a couple of nights at Tom Bergens. I mean, so we're doing this 04.
You're at USC. Were you guys watching on to us?

Speaker 3 Me and we ran into each other

Speaker 3 far too often. I never

Speaker 3 ran into you. Yeah, because part of us doing this, we were like talking.
I'm like, man, we were in LA at the same time. And I was like, yeah, I used to run into Connolly all the time.

Speaker 3 Like, we were like, like, boy, like, we sidetracked boys, like, whatever. I knew a lot of the people in the same circle.

Speaker 3 We, yeah, Entourage was number one for all of us. And it was like, I got labeled, like, going into the NFL, like labeled the Hollywood guy.

Speaker 1 That was like what they would say on ESPN and shit.

Speaker 2 They was literally Hollywood quarterback.

Speaker 3 I was telling Jerry this story. So I'm in OTA's or summer Arizona rookie year, and there's this middle linebacker

Speaker 3 like eight years in. And he was my boy, but he's like, this isn't a play.
We're going like, you know, whatever. Vinny Chase, Vinny Chase is in, boys.
Like, literally, like, I could not escape it.

Speaker 3 And so

Speaker 3 I was, he literally, to this day, if I saw him right now, he'd be like, what's up, Vinny?

Speaker 2 He was, I was just Vinny to him.

Speaker 3 And then I never said this before. So I was in the at the NFL combine, And in the combine, you basically do like speed dating at one point.

Speaker 3 You just go around with every coach, whoever wants to meet with you, five minutes, whatever.

Speaker 3 And then there's about four or five teams who are interested in seeing where like, hey, we could draft him here. They'll grill you for like a 20, like a room like this.

Speaker 3 You're, you're in front of eight GMs, all this stuff, and they just grill you. And mine was Sean Payton, and he was with the Saints because they were picking.
two. And I was.
That's funny, right?

Speaker 3 Yeah. Sean's awesome.

Speaker 3 So

Speaker 3 I'm in this and I had visited visited out there. Like, it was a real thing.
I ended up taking Reggie, my teammate, but it was a real thing for them to possibly draft me.

Speaker 3 And the whole session was about entourage and Hollywood.

Speaker 2 Are you serious? I swear to God. He referenced, he's like, Yeah,

Speaker 3 he was referencing entourage, and like that.

Speaker 2 You were part of the combine.

Speaker 3 This is great. No, and I was a part of an, like, because

Speaker 3 I, because I was just this, I had this label, like, like, as a concern, like, a concern.

Speaker 2 Like, hey, yeah, because they're going to be a problem, which is exactly.

Speaker 3 They're about to invest millions of dollars. So it's like, hey, what's up?

Speaker 3 You know, we have this entourage thing like ever. And that was the whole thing.
Wow. It was maybe five minutes of football.
And I could like talk football, right?

Speaker 3 So it was like the other one was like, who are these people? Why do you have so many people around you? And it was just like, you always say.

Speaker 1 Stop hating on entourages, bro.

Speaker 3 No, he always says like how he gets like the parallels of athletes having an entourage and how that's so strange. Like your show is really like.

Speaker 3 Honestly, looking back, like I live that with my entourage of my boys. And I had good ones.
I had guys that you just kind of weed out as you get older, you know, because they take advantage of it.

Speaker 2 Or they weed themselves out of it.

Speaker 3 Or they weed themselves. That's why the show is so great because it still stands the test of time.
Like it's still, like you said, Zion.

Speaker 1 Zion came up to you and he was like, after a Knicks game one time, I'm getting ready to leave and I just like this giant clap on my shoulder. And I look at Zion, I literally flinched.

Speaker 1 I was like, holy shit, Zion Williamson, what's up? Wow. He's like, hey, man, when I was injured last year,

Speaker 1 I binged entourage. I'd never seen it before.
And it got me through. And he literally looked at me and he went, I just wish I had like like a turtle or a drama.

Speaker 1 And I like, almost not that I felt bad for him, almost like, man, I hope you got people. And I'm sure he does have good people around him.

Speaker 1 But he really looked at me and said, I just wish I had like kind of like what we had on

Speaker 2 more than just Bing John Entourage. He only packed on a couple pounds.

Speaker 1 Well, but now he's in great shape. Now he's in great shape.

Speaker 2 He's in really, really good shape. I always wanted him as a shit.

Speaker 3 I mean, it's different, but for how you guys are living in that time, like that's you're consuming your life. You're living it like off camera in real life.

Speaker 3 I know we used to run each other in hollywood and outside like how

Speaker 3 is there is does it relate to any of you guys and you're off or you're just like this is work you go to you go to work every day you get home you go to your family's or whatever was there like were you living that in reality too to some degree yeah kevin was oh yeah i was not

Speaker 2 i was living in malab you're just in charge i mean you're like

Speaker 2 little small child at home you know

Speaker 2 but i was in florida i was in the nightclub like you know where you were you were a little bit a little bit you're on a bar stool You were on a bar stool.

Speaker 2 I was just in a different, it's just a different format, Dylan. It's the same thing at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 No, no, I listen to a certain extent, like it just kind of, yeah, I mean, I guess it was what it was. I remember, you remember the first, I have the first time at the Playboy Mansion.

Speaker 2 You remember that? Jerry and I went to the Playboy Mansion. It was, I mean, it was that kind of stuff, but it's just also a different time then.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 People now are just, you know, you're gun shy, right?

Speaker 2 It's just like everything's on. You're always on.

Speaker 1 I feel like Adrian spoke about this too. I think for him, it got a little blurry at times.
Like, I'm playing this larger-than-life movie star.

Speaker 1 And then he's, you know, in a healthy way, he's going out, living his life, having fun. I think he has talked later saying, like, yeah, it got real blurry.

Speaker 2 Right.

Speaker 1 For me, I was always afraid to like get fired or something because I always felt I was the most experienced on the show. I mean, you know, you say, you've been, I mean, when'd you start acting?

Speaker 2 I mean, I've been doing an adaptable, but it's right, you know, like Dylan was Dylan was. Big wheel commercial.
Dylan was in two best picture. Dylan was in two best picture

Speaker 2 with the greatest hair in the history of shit.

Speaker 1 So for me, I was always like.

Speaker 1 I would go out here or there, but I just was always afraid, like, you're going to fuck this up.

Speaker 2 I would try to track the beach. Once in a while, you get him out.

Speaker 1 I was a bad.

Speaker 3 I never saw you out once.

Speaker 2 I didn't even go out a lot.

Speaker 1 I was always in relationships. Later on.
Later on, I had my moment of like, all right, I'm just going to enjoy this a little more. I moved to West Hollywood.

Speaker 2 And we had a sleepover chip. We had a sleptover with.
Jerry, let's call it like it is. Connolly and Adrian were partying a lot.
Kevin would walk in. He would show up in the morning with red eyes.

Speaker 2 He looked like he had been maced. He's like, give me some of those blue drops.
You put these blue visine drops in there.

Speaker 1 Do you guys remember our first year at the Golden Globes?

Speaker 2 And I bring it up for when we busted each other's jobs in the season. Well, I was on the red carpet.
By the way, you really ran with that one.

Speaker 1 So, all right, I'm going Golden Globes for a minute because one, we didn't really expect to get nominated for a Golden Globe that first year. It was shocking.

Speaker 1 And we go, and it was the first and only time, and it just timed out this way. Our first day of shooting season two was the Monday morning after the Sunday party.

Speaker 1 And all I really remember was we went to all the parties, had this great night. And I remember getting back to my apartment, putting my head on the pillow, and then my alarm bell.

Speaker 2 Basically, went right to work.

Speaker 1 And we went right, no sleep, right to work. It was a rough Heron Makeup trailer.

Speaker 2 And it was like an, but it was just like a shot. We just had to get in there.
We were out by like 10, but we had to go in there and it was just like, just pull it together. Just pull.

Speaker 2 We just gotta make it through this

Speaker 1 fucking rally and get through the next 12 minutes and you'll be in your car on the way home now i might have butchered this story you have a good memory with this i tried to tell the us in the bathroom at the golden globe story dude i might have had details incorrect

Speaker 2 i want to make sure i got i think this is the funniest thing i've to tell a kev or you want me just make sure i said it right do you remember it well so listen the golden globe is the fun thing about the golden globe the best part that you were at a table you're not in like you're not in the auditorium You can have some drinks.

Speaker 2 We've got to kind of start this off on what happened at the Red Carpet. What happened? We've been going off on each other the whole time.
Well, we called it.

Speaker 2 I declared war when you said that. One of those luxury suites, you know, where they give you free stuff and there was a spray tan.
He's like, come on, come in and get a free spray tan.

Speaker 2 So I was like, all right, let me get a spray tan. You got a spray tan? I got a spray tan.
He got a whole

Speaker 2 way on the carpet. He got to tell everyone who busted my balls softly.
All you saw is a pair of white eyes. I was going to say

Speaker 2 that. It was bad.
I wish I had. I was a barbed guy.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Bad choice.
So, wait, was that the first shot in the war? That was the first shot.

Speaker 2 I didn't know I cut him that deep. So I was like, all right, let's go.

Speaker 2 So they want me to go on like CNN. His chops about, oh my God, he shot.

Speaker 2 He said it on CNN. I was like, Dylan,

Speaker 2 you just started a war. And he's like, all right, relax.

Speaker 2 Let's talk about it. I'm willing to call a truce if you're.
And this is on the red card.

Speaker 2 He said it on CNN.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, Connolly came in last week looking like he'd been maced the night before. I was like, Dylan, you're you're dead.
You're a dead man walking.

Speaker 2 And the next time we're on here, I'm going to carve you to shit. It's like, all right, all right, relax.
I'm willing to walk away if you're willing to walk away. We had to call a truce.
Ceasefire.

Speaker 2 Ceasefire.

Speaker 2 But what happened?

Speaker 2 But it was still active at this stage, right? So he had just busted my chops about this spray tan. And we're in the bathroom.
I'm at the urinals. Well, we're at the table, but we left separately.

Speaker 2 But we ended up. Who else is in the bathroom? Let's go.
So I know it was Pierce Brosner. When I said, what's up to? Wasn't Cameron? I knew from now on.
I used to run it to him.

Speaker 2 It was the craziest lineup. It was open.

Speaker 2 It was open. At the bathroom.
I think Cameron was in there.

Speaker 1 James Cameron was in there.

Speaker 2 He could have crazy people. Or like some massive Johnny Scott or something.
No, Johnny was not there.

Speaker 2 The place was packed. And it's quiet.
It's quiet. It's better than Pincroft.
It's very tense, also. It's like a commercial.

Speaker 2 I'm at the urine all I have. I don't get the urine for a half hour.

Speaker 2 It's prostate as the story. I'll let you finish the story.
Connolly comes walking. What do I say? All right, cover up, gentlemen.
We got a peaker in here.

Speaker 2 Pierce Bronson. I mean, if you want, you can see everyone's.
But everywhere it goes to the entire place.

Speaker 2 The entire place spent ballistic. I was just like, I threw my hands up.
I'm like, hey, it was

Speaker 2 a peaker. Belish.
Peter Gazer. And then you got to tell the story about.
So

Speaker 2 we're out on the back patio. And I remember Kevin Bacon was there.
Remember Kevin Bacon is there. It's me, Dylan, Kevin Bacon.
We're smoking a cigarette, having a drink, shooting the shit.

Speaker 2 This guy walks up to Kevin and he's like, hey, how you doing, man? You know, we went to high school together. Dylan's like, Hope I didn't beat you up too bad.

Speaker 2 He's like, and he did say, No, no, no, you're always very nice to me. You're always very nice to me.
And Dylan's like, Oh, yeah. What are you doing here?

Speaker 2 He's like, Oh, you know, I made directed a made a movie. He's like, Really? What movie? He's like, Capote?

Speaker 2 Same director as Moneyball. Dominated.
Better Capodi. Don't like, you know, I was like, G, right, bro.

Speaker 2 This is true, too. I'm like sitting there, I'm going, and Kevin Bacon goes, No,

Speaker 2 you heard it. I know you're asking if that really happened.
And I'm here to

Speaker 2 confirm that he just said that.

Speaker 2 It was unreal.

Speaker 2 Bennett, I knew him well. He was a great.
Yeah. Great guy.
Great guy. Yeah.
Great guy. I mean, he had grown a couple feet, so he looked completely different.

Speaker 2 Colostronomination. Colostroni.
I still haven't gotten a call. Killing you.

Speaker 1 Fox catcher. We were just together shooting something, right?

Speaker 1 So fun.

Speaker 1 And we're going to talk reboot stuff only because I had a realization after shooting this moment and it's been on Instagram now where, you know, you come over to me, you take your glasses off, you deliver your line.

Speaker 1 I'm like, fuck, this guy still got his fastball, man. He's just throwing heat still.

Speaker 1 But you said something in between takes. We were talking about like when you were growing up and the Bennett Miller years, we'll call him.
And you had mentioned, too, like,

Speaker 1 once your brother Matt kind of went off, like, dude, there's a lot of hatred, like hating on Matt. And dudes would show up looking to like, where's Matt?

Speaker 1 And then you'd have to like step out and roll with these guys.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 he was such a big teen item on the stage. And you had to kind of.
The girls had his poster and they all loved him. You were big guys all at the time, right?

Speaker 2 All kinds of guys hated him from other schools. They don't come to our school looking to beat Matt up, which they probably wouldn't be able to do.
Matt's a pretty tough one. Two dudes, dude.

Speaker 1 But then they come up with a bunch of people.

Speaker 2 Where's the next Dylan? My brother Paul had to end up fighting these

Speaker 2 two teams. They came after you, too.
He was also

Speaker 2 Ross.

Speaker 2 So he wasn't on the football team. He was in the marching band.
No, wow. He was not.
Yes, you were.

Speaker 2 I did a little, I played the drums a little bit, but I actually never marched.

Speaker 2 You were not in the marching band. I did not in the marking band.
But then you

Speaker 2 know, I know my paradiddles. I knew your paradiddles? Yeah, that's a drumming thing.

Speaker 1 He doesn't speak the language of music.

Speaker 2 He doesn't understand music.

Speaker 2 The language of music.

Speaker 1 And then how old were you when you left for platoon?

Speaker 2 You were still like, you were like just out of high school. I was probably 17 when I left.
Damn. I was 18 when I was there.

Speaker 2 Me and Charlie were the two youngest guys.

Speaker 1 You were 17, 18. Charlie Sheen was like the same age.

Speaker 2 Same age. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Did you run around with Charlie back in the day?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a good person.

Speaker 2 Especially in the Philippines, we had a great time. I bet.
And, you know, we

Speaker 2 still see each other a lot. You're still alive.

Speaker 3 You know, we've,

Speaker 2 we're going to do this another platoon reunion. Oh, really?

Speaker 3 That's awesome.

Speaker 2 Texting with Charlie again. Oh, I did.
Awesome.

Speaker 2 Unfortunately, we lost one of our platoon brothers, Tony Todd. I don't know if you got it.
Sorry to hear that. I know.
Great actor, really great guy.

Speaker 2 It was kind of heartbreaking because I just saw him recently.

Speaker 2 But yeah, he was going to be coming to this great reunion, too. You know, we're really tight, this platoon group.
It's amazing. How often are you guys going to? He shot that in 86.

Speaker 2 Would you rather hang out with them?

Speaker 2 Probably every, oh, but them, web.

Speaker 2 I love you guys too, man. But yeah, so it'll be great.
About every eight years, maybe we get together, it seems. That's cool.
Yeah. Give or take.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just think about, I just don't know at such a young age to go off to the Philippines and do a movie like that.

Speaker 2 Well, my parents didn't want me to go because there was a revolution in the Philippines. They just ousted Marcos.
There were tanks in the streets, and they're like, we don't want you to go.

Speaker 2 But you know what? I had just turned 18. I was like, I'm 18.
I'll do whatever I want. Do whatever I want.

Speaker 2 I'm going.

Speaker 2 But a lot of guys actually dropped out and regret it to this day.

Speaker 2 Yes, they regret it.

Speaker 2 Imagine doing that. Here's the thing.
No, I'm not going to do that. Here's the other thing, too.
Platoon, for all intents and purposes, was an independent film. Right.

Speaker 2 This was no big studio studio film like those guys

Speaker 2 out there. I think the total budget was like $5 million.

Speaker 2 $6 million, somewhere around there. Yeah.
So, you know, now that would be.

Speaker 2 You know, $6 million went a longer way back then. And in the Philippines, you can get a lot for your money.

Speaker 2 You're sick.

Speaker 2 You're sick.

Speaker 3 What's your guys' favorite scene? all-time entra or like

Speaker 2 it could be like an improv or anything just oh man with so many good ones there's so many good ones i love one of my favorites favorites is the walk and talk where we

Speaker 2 we leave the restaurant they basically followed us from the restaurant out the door across the

Speaker 2 wall it was the just man scene line but it's it's the whole thing we had to keep finding the camera i love the walk and talks it's one of my favorite shots of one of my favorites was the hard line was great the the the desert thing oh joshua trade it's great to watch but in hindsight man it was

Speaker 2 look i'm irish we we're not going for that meat it was hot out there bro Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nowhere to go. We shot the episode in Joshua where we take mushrooms and we're looking for these answers.
And we really went out to the desert. And like Conly said, it looks amazing.
And you're there.

Speaker 1 But it was so hot.

Speaker 2 Like the dog that played Arnold.

Speaker 1 The dog that played Arnold stormed offset. They had to bring it in.
Like the dog just started running off and the dog just kept running and never came back.

Speaker 2 Wilder's black. And he's like,

Speaker 2 I'm out. I am done for the day.
Thank you very much.

Speaker 1 I look back at the earlier episodes because like we just didn't know. We knew what we were doing, but and I look back at we were even talking like the boxing stuff.
I love when we shot at Laker games.

Speaker 1 Yeah. We told our the Kobe story.

Speaker 2 Do you remember the Kobe story? Did I ever tell it to you? Oh, that was amazing.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I don't know if it was the first time we're shooting at Staples Center courtside, Kobe was hurt. I mentioned

Speaker 2 we shot twice.

Speaker 1 He was always hurt. He was out.

Speaker 2 His Achilles, right? He had a leg injury.

Speaker 1 So we get to Staples Center at like 4 p.m.

Speaker 1 They barely want us there at this point. They're giving us very minimal cameras or whatever, but they're giving we have four amazing court side seats.
So we're there rehearsing at 4 p.m.

Speaker 2 Just to say like where the cameras are going to be here. See you're here.
He's giving us a rundown.

Speaker 1 Kobe comes out from the back in like just sweats and he's going to get some shots off. He's on one leg.

Speaker 1 Just him and us. He's shooting.
Now, of course, we all stop what we're doing. We're like, Kobe Bryant.
And I'm sure he kind of comes over. He's like, what do you guys do? Like, season two.

Speaker 1 No one, we didn't really pop yet.

Speaker 1 And we were like, oh, entourage is like okay and it's ignored us just went back to what a sick athlete he is he's still practicing yeah on like one legal leg and he's still practicing he comes out to half court we're wrapping up he's like hey

Speaker 1 with 100 bucks a shot from half court my left hand

Speaker 2 one foot with one foot

Speaker 1 left hand off my right off my back off my good leg left-handed we're like done either way we're gonna it's gonna be great first

Speaker 1 we took it all first shot it misses but not by much

Speaker 2 he's like another one

Speaker 2 Another one. Every one of them scared the bad.

Speaker 1 Misses, but it's like he's all over it.

Speaker 2 He's dialed in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Third, fourth, fifth shot. Never makes it.
Never makes it. And not only does he not make it, just leaves.
Doesn't say like that was fun. Doesn't give us any money.
That's oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 So, like, either way, and he stuck us with the bills.

Speaker 1 Stuff us with the money, but it's still a great story. Now we're filming, okay? Kobe's not playing.

Speaker 1 So at some point in a timeout, an athletic trainer comes up to the five of us and peels off $100 bills. This is

Speaker 1 in the middle of the game. This is from Kobe and breaks us off $100 bills.

Speaker 2 I had that tucked in.

Speaker 1 You had the $100 bill still?

Speaker 2 I had it tucked in.

Speaker 1 Is it gone?

Speaker 2 Rainy day, some emergency fund. Did he ever make it?

Speaker 3 He never made it.

Speaker 1 So he was supposed to, it's ironic. Kobe was supposed to have a cameo, which he didn't do because I think he was in season.
And then we ended up getting someone.

Speaker 1 It's become one of the most iconic memes from the show. Kobe was supposed to do the 50 Cent cameo.
My character, I'm having like this crisis of, oh, I'm not doing anything with my life.

Speaker 1 Vince buys me a Ferrari. Jamie Lynn buys me a Porsche.
I'm driving around the Ferrari in Beverly. 50 Cent rolls up to me and is like,

Speaker 1 and it's a famous meme because he smiles and just drives off. It's on the internet every day.
But that was initially written for Kobe, but I think he was in season. I know that.

Speaker 1 And he was like, in season. I have the script still where it says Kobe Bryant pulls out the turtle.
That's cool. But Kobe in season, you're just not getting to him like that.

Speaker 2 That was never going to happen.

Speaker 1 And it worked out because the 50 meme is one of my favorite.

Speaker 2 I also remember, you know, we have

Speaker 2 the director of this episode. This was Julian.
I remember this. And, you know, he's English, right? So, and he's a fanatical soccer football fan.
He's fanatical. But doesn't know anything about it.

Speaker 2 And he's like, hey, mates, like,

Speaker 2 we're just not looking at him. Oh, Cody.

Speaker 2 He's like telling us all this stuff. And we're just all looking through him.
And I'm like, buddy, this is like, you know, that I'm trying to come up with. Michael Jordan.

Speaker 2 Anyway,

Speaker 2 this is like Beckham.

Speaker 2 Whatever it

Speaker 2 trying to come up with a new analogy out of the way. Like, dude, this is a big one.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he was trying to get us refocused.

Speaker 2 Like, no, no, no, no, no, we're not shooting until Kobe's done

Speaker 1 with whatever he's doing.

Speaker 3 Did you guys know it would be a hit at any point? Like, I know you early on.

Speaker 2 I did. Dylan did.
Dylan was the only one.

Speaker 3 Like, you knew at a moment, you're like, shit, like, this is going to be.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I said,

Speaker 2 everyone's worried, you know, you shoot the pilot, and then you hope it gets picked up.

Speaker 2 Then it did get picked up. I knew it was going to get picked up because I thought the pilot was was great.
I told these guys, relax, it's getting picked up.

Speaker 2 Then you hope that it's going to get picked up for another season. A couple seasons, yeah.

Speaker 2 They hang you every year. It's like, okay, it looks good.
It feels good.

Speaker 1 You're on a one-year contract every year.

Speaker 3 So you're every season that's just like.

Speaker 1 We have deals.

Speaker 2 And I knew it was going to keep going because it was just a brilliant show. It was a great idea.
The chemistry was there. I know we were going to run the course.

Speaker 1 But it is like, think of it like an athlete, like a football contract.

Speaker 1 None of it's getting, we have five-year deals. None of it's guaranteed.

Speaker 1 at any point they could say nope we're gonna we're gonna go a different direction and it's over right they don't pay us out for the five years or whatever our deal is you guys are still working like you're you're doing a you're still doing movies other stuff between but i mean you know it does take a lot of time to make the show and then you know you break and you take a little downtime and you know getting a movie where like sometimes you get offers sometimes you got to chase it for a while right but like there's like there's a window there's a window you have a very specific window when you can go do other stuff,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 you know, you can't just go off and be like, I'm gonna go do this movie for six months.

Speaker 2 It's like, well, because you're gonna start shooting entourage again, but uh, you kind of want to take the time off to right, right?

Speaker 3 Because you just have a grind, you know, when you those days are TV shows. I mean, I've dabbled, but it's like 14-hour days.

Speaker 2 Oh, you definitely double-the-week on,

Speaker 2 but it's so beginning.

Speaker 3 It was there's so much downtime, too, though.

Speaker 2 It's like you just

Speaker 2 have to keep that's the hard part.

Speaker 1 Look, we've all been there busy Sunday watching football all day. It's hard to take the time and get a healthy meal in.

Speaker 1 We're going to do something in a few minutes. We do a throwback three on the show.
This is like kind of a list, but it's not no pressure.

Speaker 1 We're going to do our, we're going to, and again, throw it out, what you got. We're going to do our throwback three of our favorite athlete cameos, specific athletes.

Speaker 1 Because I think it's, and by the way, Matt, I'm thinking about now, it's probably because you were a college kid. You would have been a perfect cameo, right?

Speaker 2 But you couldn't do it because

Speaker 1 I wasn't allowed to do it.

Speaker 2 You're not allowed to do it because there was no NIL by for by actually.

Speaker 3 Did I tell you the Judgy Namy thing?

Speaker 1 You were on Judging Amy.

Speaker 3 The first ever acting extra was on Judgy Namy.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're just an extra, no? I was an extra because

Speaker 3 the director was a USC alum or whatever. I think it was right after I graduated.
So I was allowed to do it.

Speaker 3 I think I might have got paid $100 or whatever, but I was like, this is, and I had a pantomime and shit.

Speaker 2 I was like, what the fuck is pantomime?

Speaker 2 I thought a mime? Yeah, I felt so uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 I was like talking like this.

Speaker 2 Like I was talking. You're in the background.
Oh, I got you.

Speaker 3 I got you. I think that's what they call it.

Speaker 2 Is that pantomime? Yeah.

Speaker 2 So, really like a fish out of water.

Speaker 3 I was like, what about it?

Speaker 1 And thinking, once seeing that Dylan still has his Johnny Drama fastball and cracking me up on set, I'm like, all right, I know everyone always talks about reboot. It's been 20 years.

Speaker 1 And then I tried to think of just some fun. All right, if we ever were going to do a reboot, what on earth are these characters doing today, right?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm going to pitch you a couple of things.

Speaker 1 By the way, I thought about this for five minutes. And Doug, if you're watching, I'm not trying to write anything.
I know you're going to probably say, leave it to the writers. You're right.

Speaker 1 Leave it to the writers. Agreed, but we're just going to have some fun.
Dylan, I'm going to start with you.

Speaker 1 When last we left Johnny Drama, he wins a a golden globe award right and we love johnny drama but we also love him when he's fighting right when he's like yeah i i like a struggling underdog

Speaker 1 i don't want to see him uh on top of the world i think somehow he's struggling to get a job again he's uh let me pitch you this down and out a little bit do you think maybe johnny drama is on a show again like maybe he's on the net floor whatever he's on a show a lot of network a lot of shows and they are gonna for the first time say you know what we actually think we could do his part with ai

Speaker 2 we're gonna replace him with a fighter. Johnny Drama faces

Speaker 2 him when you're involved in an AI crisis.

Speaker 1 Johnny Drama's fighting the first AI acting crisis. I think it would be great for you.

Speaker 2 By the way, I'd have to go to my SAG rep and go, what the hell's going on? You're on. Bill loves this SAG rep.

Speaker 1 We could write that scene.

Speaker 2 That's a great SAG. He says it's a great idea.
Great insurance. Not bad.

Speaker 1 I feel like for Turtle, when last we left, you were loaded.

Speaker 1 100 million or more. Yes.

Speaker 2 We haven't put an actual line. I got it.

Speaker 1 Say he was worth 100 million. My pitch would be, because I also love Turtle when he's down.
He for sure got finagled in a crypto scheme.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're a Bitcoin schedule. Some NFT.
No, not Bitcoin, because Bitcoin would have worked out. You're part of the NFT crash.

Speaker 1 He bought an NFT.

Speaker 2 You bought a board ape.

Speaker 1 He bought a board ape for $18 million, and now he's just flat.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 1 Lost it all. Back living with Vince for sure.

Speaker 2 We're all desperados again. Exactly.
E has gone through a divorce.

Speaker 1 she's kicked him out of the house the only thing i figured for e is i feel like you and sloan you have a baby in the movie so i think you have five more kids a lot of kids irish twins a whole bunch you have five kids irish running unscripted at bravo

Speaker 2 so like did he create love is blind or something created love is blind you're a reality guy just like

Speaker 2 no unscripted

Speaker 2 big difference running the unscripted department so like what's it so what about vince this to me is the hardest hardest one, right?

Speaker 1 Because he's still got to do well. The Vince character

Speaker 1 was always the engine of like, all right, here's the business story that we're going to then do. Me and Dylan will go do side quests.
I used to call them.

Speaker 2 Yeah. B story.

Speaker 1 I don't know because like.

Speaker 1 And I'm open to pitches. Movies, not many people are going to the movies anymore.

Speaker 1 Do they bring him back for Aquaman 3?

Speaker 2 He is a Netflix darling.

Speaker 1 He's a Netflix darling. He's on Netflix.

Speaker 2 You can find him trending in the top 10 once everybody's going to be able to get to the

Speaker 2 marriage. He's floating around the eight or nine spots.
Maybe he's back in Mexico. He's moved back to Mexico.
Oh, he's a daily darling, bro.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do they try to lure him or offer Johnny Drama apart, but he's got to have his brother in there. So we got to go to Mexico to get Vince back.
Vince is on a multi-picture.

Speaker 3 Is there a world where this, like, you guys could, like, a reboot or like you could redo this whole thing? Is that, I mean,

Speaker 3 so much time has passed, but it could that. So reboots to me.
Is there a way where you guys get together and like, dude, let's let's try to pitch something.

Speaker 2 I really would all work that way. We would all do it.

Speaker 3 It's not that easy, right?

Speaker 2 As a matter of fact, everyone will do it. It's just the

Speaker 2 money. It's not as easy.
It's writers and

Speaker 2 HBO and

Speaker 2 it's an existing property and it's existing IP. You don't just get to decide, hey, let's run it back.
Because a lot of people

Speaker 1 have to decide to do it.

Speaker 2 Cast and lost, but like, hey, let's keep it going again. Let's do another season.
Whatever.

Speaker 1 I never say that. Anytime I always say, like, I actually didn't think the movie was going to happen.
Anytime I ever say never, it actually.

Speaker 3 Movie, you have more control, right? Or no?

Speaker 1 Yes and no. And I always thought that, like, I, the movie always felt like a big episode, right? For like the fans.
So I think going back and doing it as a series again would be the move. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like another episode. I mean, it would be a great, you know, a great call to get, but I do think we see it.

Speaker 1 We need to have like

Speaker 1 because you say reboot, obviously, you got to, like, Cobra Kai did a job.

Speaker 2 Well, they could reboot it without us as well. Right.

Speaker 1 Cobra Kai did a good job of like, it's Daniel LaRusso's kids. But Daniel LaRusso's still on, they're still in it.
They're just now the

Speaker 2 Ryan Murphy. So do we have like one of E's nine kids?

Speaker 1 That's a good pitch. You know, maybe we have to bring, or, or a chase cousin you didn't know you had is now, I want to be an actor too, Uncle Johnny.

Speaker 2 You know, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't know. You got to crack that.

Speaker 2 And well, that's the other thing, too. It would be, and one thing I think everybody is on the same page is that you wouldn't just, you know, you'd want it to be good.

Speaker 2 It'd have to be because your initial thought would be like an eye roller.

Speaker 2 So you'd have to like blow that out of the water and have it be awesome, which would require, you know, something extreme, I guess.

Speaker 3 Yeah. But you guys still got it.
You still got it.

Speaker 2 Listen, no doubt, brother.

Speaker 1 I thought we, but even me, when we were shooting that spot for Cash App, I'm like, I haven't done this with this character in a minute. Like, I've changed so much.
I didn't have kids back there.

Speaker 1 That was great, didn't it? I didn't have kids back then.

Speaker 1 Not that I was nervous. We do the rehearsal.
Once we figured out, all right, Dylan's going to come here. You're going to go.
This is what we're after the first take.

Speaker 1 And especially with him, like, we just, because we did so many side quest storylines together. I'm like, oh, we could.

Speaker 2 You know, I never really thought about that actual part of it. What? Like, the character part.
Like, yeah. All righty.

Speaker 2 I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 It's not just show up and do it.

Speaker 2 Oh, of course you could do it, but I mean, yeah, it would be weird.

Speaker 1 You got to do a lot. Go back.
You got to get sure. I got to call RE stuff going again.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's what I was going to say. One of the things I meant to do.
It's like putting it in an old shoe. Do you remember? Still fit.
Do you remember when,

Speaker 2 you know, every year we would like we'd be shooting. It would be, we were a summer show every year.
Yeah. So we had to be ready to go in the summer, but we'd be shooting in like March or April.

Speaker 2 Do you remember when they would bring in the new phones? Oh. And they'd have like, you know, all of a sudden it's like a skinny version of the black

Speaker 2 Blackberry.

Speaker 2 They would come and the guy would basically throw him on that razor. And then after the take.

Speaker 2 After the take, he'd be like, all right, hand it over. I'd be like, come on, Pivin.
Look at it. Yeah, they would bring on.
Of course, Pivin destroyed all his problems.

Speaker 2 It was unscripted, and he would like smash his phone against the corner.

Speaker 2 Oh, man. Throw him off the cliff.
It was the only one we had.

Speaker 1 He probably went through a lot.

Speaker 2 Remember when Piven pulled the hamstring in the desert? Oh, came up lame. He was flying around the corner.

Speaker 1 You get upset with me that I pulled my quad playing football. We're shooting in the desert.
We're out in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 2 It's freezing cold at night. 112 during the day.

Speaker 1 And Piven, Ari has to come running around.

Speaker 2 He's on mushrooms. He's with the dog.

Speaker 1 And you see it. He just reached for the hamstring right away.

Speaker 2 Came around that corner. He pulled up Lamo.
And he's just like, what am I going to do now?

Speaker 2 But he stayed in character. He tried.
Oh, no, not that day. He was hurt.
Cut. Dude, a hammy hurts, man.

Speaker 2 Yeah, by the way, he pulled it. He pulled it.

Speaker 1 I guess you could say one thing about the Entourage, guys. We are injury.

Speaker 2 I played through it.

Speaker 1 We played. We're tough.
We played through.

Speaker 2 Did you ever get hurt?

Speaker 1 No, I got sick a lot.

Speaker 2 That was my Jerry was.

Speaker 2 We battled a lot of illnesses.

Speaker 2 You had a flu. We were in that pool scene.
You look at Jerry. You were really embedded.

Speaker 1 When we shot the pilot episode, we have to get in this indoor, outdoor pool in the mansion, which they didn't think to heat days before. And

Speaker 1 it was November in LA. So it's not freezing, but we're shooting at midnight.
The pool's freezing. I have either a stomach virus or the flu.
I'm green. I'm throwing up in between.

Speaker 2 And you had to make out. And at the girl, poor girl that you had to make out.

Speaker 1 Poor girl, I'm literally just going, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 2 I'm so sorry. She's just shivering like this.

Speaker 1 In between takes, they're wrapping me with towels. They're giving me like IV.

Speaker 1 I just keep going.

Speaker 2 She's wrapped in a heated blanket before she's going to be sick.

Speaker 1 I think her name was Courtney. I'm like, I'm so sorry.
I hope you don't get sick. And I was sick a lot, but

Speaker 2 I mean, listen,

Speaker 2 the other thing, too, is like, you know, the eight seasons is over 10 years. I mean, at a certain point, we saw like a lot of each other with regards.
At a certain point, everybody was sick.

Speaker 2 And at a certain point, everybody was hurt. At a certain point, everybody was going through a breakup.

Speaker 2 At a certain point, everybody was going through like I definitely got to watch these guys for their lifetimes.

Speaker 1 I went through a few on the show.

Speaker 2 Let me tell you. First thing I'm like, just come on and sleep over, Jerry.
Let's go out.

Speaker 1 I was manned down for a bit. Connolly definitely helped rebuild my confidence.
And all I want to say is if you're going through, this is the guy you want out there.

Speaker 1 This is the guy you go to if you get a little heartbreak.

Speaker 2 So you're dealing with real heartbreak.

Speaker 3 You're coming to the bottom.

Speaker 2 He kind of did like this.

Speaker 1 Come up to the house, hang with me for a little bit. We're not going to do nothing the first night.
Second night, we're going to watch a movie. We'll watch a movie, order a picture.

Speaker 1 Second night, we'll go

Speaker 2 get dinner. We'll have a drink.

Speaker 1 But by the third night, we're going out.

Speaker 1 And you're just going to do what I say.

Speaker 2 You're pitching that reality show. Man camp.
The man camp. Yeah.
You got to get it. And it worked.
What a great fucking wingman. That's cool.
That's cool.

Speaker 1 And yeah, the next dude that the girl date, Connolly, will put spells on him if you want.

Speaker 2 He'll do all that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you're wondering what. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Let's tell you a couple of good off-air stories about that. All right.

Speaker 2 We're going to want this guy being a world champion if I'm being honest.

Speaker 2 Jerry.

Speaker 2 Oh. Jerry.
Yeah. There's a girl in between started dating one of Jerry's exes.
He was like, I don't need this guy winning the ring right now.

Speaker 1 Is that bad that I didn't want the next person after me to win a ring?

Speaker 2 Is that terrible? I got no rings. You got no rings.
Not right now. It's way too soon for a ring.
It was right after, too. Yes.

Speaker 2 All right. So we're going to do our our throwback three.

Speaker 1 We're going to talk our favorite athlete cameos because for whatever reason, you professional athletes loved entourage. So good.

Speaker 1 And we had a lot over the years. And again, there's no wrong answers.
Just throw out one. So throwback three, we're going to do our favorite entourage athlete cameos.

Speaker 1 Okay, Dylan, you want to lead us off? You got three? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 All right. Let's hear it.
I got three. Let's hear it.
Of course, I got to say Tom Brady. Tom Brady.
Because Tom was awesome. Really going out on a limb there.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, he's number one. Yes.
Everyone loved him. He signed every

Speaker 2 sign whatever you want, took a picture. He was great.
Everyone in the crew. The crew loved him.

Speaker 2 And, of course, I break his club and the scene and all that. But during our lunch break, you know, I had already hit like 200 golf balls on the range for doing the shot.

Speaker 2 But he was like, hey, hey, Dylan, do you want to go hit some golf balls? I'm like, yeah. You can't say no to that.

Speaker 2 He didn't get no bad.

Speaker 2 We played about 12 holes. And,

Speaker 2 you know, he had a great swing.

Speaker 1 He was hitting it good.

Speaker 2 He was hitting the ball really well.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was coming off the torn knee, too.

Speaker 2 So no one had seen him.

Speaker 1 He hadn't hadn't played football in a year.

Speaker 2 Great dude. Great dude.
So I'm going to say number one there. Number two, I'm going to go with Phil Mickelson,

Speaker 2 who I actually got that cameo. I ran into him in a golf course at San Diego.
I was with the bridges. I was just

Speaker 2 like, that's right.

Speaker 1 You were there. I watched this happen in front of my office.

Speaker 2 So I was going out, for some reason, I was going out towards my car and I saw Phil.

Speaker 2 carrying his own bag and he saw me kind of spot him and he put his head hat down low like I don't want to be recognized he didn't didn't know he was. Not right away.

Speaker 2 So he's just like, oh, I don't want to be recognized by this guy. This guy noticed.
He's like, this guy's a real

Speaker 2 man. Keep my head down.
He's like, no, no. Hey, Phil, Phil, I just got to say what's up.
Then he recognizes. He goes, oh my God, Johnny Drama.
So he was a big fan of the show. I was like, yeah.

Speaker 2 I go, you know, my dad. My dad painted you.
My dad's a porch. Oh, that's a good story.
Yeah. That's my dad.
But he my dad had

Speaker 2 painted him. He goes, oh, I love Paul.
He was the best.

Speaker 2 And he told me a story about my dad that I had never heard before, how he painted, he painted Phil with a right-handed club.

Speaker 2 They just grabbed the club and they took a picture together, and my dad painted that. Oh, he painted the picture.

Speaker 2 And then when my dad recognized, when my dad saw the picture, he goes, oh, my God, Phil, I painted you with the right-handed club. I'll fix it.
I'll just paint a left-handed club.

Speaker 2 And he goes, no, no, Paul. I like it just like that.
The conversation changes.

Speaker 3 So he was great.

Speaker 2 And then me and Jerry ended up having lunch with him.

Speaker 2 I asked him if he would want to do the show. No, you didn't get the call.

Speaker 2 You were a hack. He said, spend some time at the driving range and we'll see if we can fit you in next time.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 he said, yeah, I would love to do a cameo. We called Doug Ellen right there on the spot.
Said, hey, Doug, say how to Phil Mickelson. That's it.

Speaker 2 And then Doug figured out a way to get him on the show, which was a very good thing.

Speaker 1 There's a tiny piece that we're leaving out.

Speaker 1 We had a line on the show the year before where we kind of throw him under the bus.

Speaker 1 Ari has a line where he goes, the guy's melting down like Phil Mickelson at Wingfoot.

Speaker 2 melting down like Mickelson. And by the way,

Speaker 2 that was the next episode. Right, it hadn't aired yet.

Speaker 1 Oh, it hadn't aired yet.

Speaker 2 He just mad off.

Speaker 3 He just said, yes, I'll do the show.

Speaker 2 And then we crushed it. And that aired that week.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 But he still did it. All he said, he said, you know, I'm just

Speaker 2 my wife watching my infamous show on a Sunday. And all you guys just got hit with a right-handed.
He's like, I'm about to crush the show. These guys are great.

Speaker 2 That's a good one, Dylan. Thank God.

Speaker 3 He's got a great sense of humor.

Speaker 2 And he was awesome at the show.

Speaker 1 He was awesome at the show.

Speaker 2 And then I would say, number three, i'm gonna go with drew brees drew brees i actually i never came in on my days off for cameos right but i was on my way out and i was went into the makeup trailer to take my makeup off and i run into drew brees couldn't be a nicer guy the coolest nicest guy i don't remember him on

Speaker 1 he did something with one of you he so my character when i was trying to raise money for tequila i'm calling all these athletes i don't know how turtle always knew all these athletes but i call drew and we did his side of the call and he could but we did it all he was like in the other room when we did it.

Speaker 1 And he was just really cool.

Speaker 2 He was cool. He had him in the trailer.
He had just won the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 New Orleans just got hit by that horrible hurricane. So it was just like, what a great guy.
And so he was number three for me.

Speaker 1 That's Matt's most accurate quarterback. We do like this thing, build your perfect quarterback.

Speaker 2 It's like arm strength, accuracy.

Speaker 2 He's great, man. Whose arm strength would you go with? Would you do? You did.

Speaker 2 Current? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah. Current, I go Josh Allen.
Josh Allen, current?

Speaker 3 I think former, we did a a lot of Favre.

Speaker 2 Elway.

Speaker 1 I think I did L Way was mine for former.

Speaker 2 How about scramble abilities?

Speaker 2 I went Michael Vick, like athleticism.

Speaker 1 A lot of people go Lamar.

Speaker 2 Who's yours? Maybe Josh Allen, man. I just like the way he hits hard.
He'll dive over you. Absolutely.
All right, Connie.

Speaker 2 I have a different... I'm going with a different...
Just because, you know. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Mix it up. You know what I mean? So I'm going to go and try to mix up a little bit.

Speaker 2 The first one was the Michael Phelps one because

Speaker 2 we were shooting in New York. It was the last last day of the season.
Yes. It was like it was rapping the season.
It was the last shot.

Speaker 2 And we're like shooting live and like in the, in the, you know, the crosswalk on

Speaker 2 7th Avenue, in the middle of Manhattan, and somebody spots him walking.

Speaker 1 He's going to the NBC building. He was doing interviews because he just got back from the Olympics.

Speaker 2 He was going to there. He just got, I mean, it was like days after he won all those medals.

Speaker 2 Nobody called him. They ran into him.
That's all. He said, hey, will you do a cameo? Somebody grabbed him, and it's like they set him up on the one side of the street, and I was set up on the other.

Speaker 2 And and also

Speaker 2 like a big dude, right? So it's like

Speaker 2 it was like staying alive when Travolta and Timone kind of bump into each other.

Speaker 2 I had to bump into him, you know, and I figured I'm like, you know, he probably hasn't done this. I've got to, you know, I got to lead this one to him.

Speaker 2 So it was like a little challenging and it was, I mean, honestly, like. People were looking at him.
Yeah, he's the biggest. And he was like, it was a different kind of

Speaker 2 wow factor right after that. It's a good one.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And then I thought an underrated acting performance was Steve Nash.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 2 Good one. Yeah, Nash did a good job.

Speaker 2 Did not seem like it was his first rodeo.

Speaker 2 I thought he was pretty good. You liked his performance.
I enjoyed his performance because I think they pretty much just dropped it on him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I don't think that was like a big setup thing. It was like he was there.
I mean, they pulled him out of the third row. They pulled him out of the bleachers and said, said, get in the game.

Speaker 2 Put a mic on him and said, get in the game. And we kind of ran through this scene.
So I was impressed with him.

Speaker 1 That's a good one.

Speaker 2 And then,

Speaker 2 you know i liked you know

Speaker 2 the tyson thing was always oh that's right tyson was on how do i forget about

Speaker 2 how do i forget about yes i mean there's there were so many there were so many of those and of course you know gronk you know was amazing the gronk uh

Speaker 2 we worked that late night this was during the movie yeah we worked until like three o'clock two o'clock in the morning and there was like they call second meal or third meal whatever and it was just really soup it was like a chunky soup he was i think he just like feeding people yeah he was, you know, feeding your bowl.

Speaker 2 You go, come up with your bowl and gron.

Speaker 1 He was like a little kid, babe.

Speaker 2 Praise the God.

Speaker 2 Awesome, dude.

Speaker 2 The day I broke my leg later in the day. Remember, Jerry, I had to the scene where you and Rhonda walk in on me.

Speaker 1 Connolly has a so Connolly breaks his leg and then has a love scene later, right?

Speaker 2 Like, and me and Ronda rounds are down around my ankles. I'm like, my, it hurt to have my pants red.

Speaker 1 What did Gronk say? Didn't Gronk say that?

Speaker 2 Well, I was like joking with him. I was like, man, I got the scene after lunch, man.
I got a, I got a sex. What's that? I go, what's that shot called?

Speaker 2 And he's like, you don't want to shot if you can have sex, bro.

Speaker 2 Grog, hopefully, I'm not the one breaking this team, but we don't really do that, you know?

Speaker 2 He's still filming.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, we're not really having sex.

Speaker 1 He was worried about your performance

Speaker 2 in the bedroom if you take the shot. That's typical, Grog.
By the way, that was so funny. But even Rhonda was a great one.

Speaker 1 So Rhonda makes the list for me. Right.

Speaker 2 Because also, Rhonda was around.

Speaker 2 You had your three. Rhonda was the Rhonda one.

Speaker 1 I go with Rhonda. And what was crazy, too is then I got to meet her before we shot and then we film.
But then she goes on to fight. And I never really got to know a fighter personally on that level.

Speaker 1 And I can't even imagine what it's like for fighters' families because I'm like watching her fight on pay-per-view at home and I'm nervous. And I only know her for like a year.

Speaker 1 So Rhonda for me, for sure, I think a good sneaky one.

Speaker 2 It's a long cameo. Yes.
Because we really got to spend time.

Speaker 1 It's barely a cameo. She had like a part.

Speaker 2 She was a little old.

Speaker 1 But a sneaky one that I didn't even really work with him that much, but I've now become friendly with him. But you, Kevin Love, no one even knows he was in.
Oh, he's great.

Speaker 1 When Vince gets beat up by Eminem, words I never thought I'd say. Johnny Drama, we know who has that one shot.

Speaker 1 Johnny Drama could put you on your ass in one shot, but Kevin Love grabs him in a bear hug. And weren't you really like, yo, that's one of the strongest dudes in the town?

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 2 he got me.

Speaker 1 And this is like not skinny Kevin.

Speaker 2 He got just my rib cage. Such a big.
And he started squeezing as hard as he could. Your pretty little ribs.
And I was like,

Speaker 2 I was afraid he was going to collapse my ribs.

Speaker 2 I mean, he's a big, strong guy. And I had to say, hey, dude, go a little easy.
Chill, man. I'm afraid you're going to break my rib.

Speaker 2 Totally collapse my rib cake.

Speaker 2 I'm sorry, dude.

Speaker 2 I get carried away.

Speaker 2 He's really, really cool guy, man.

Speaker 2 I was also in the scene where I confront Scott Kahn about.

Speaker 1 Yes, he has so many weird, like, Caleb is just in there. There are a couple people.

Speaker 1 And the last one, not to be more obvious, but you got to give tip the cap to LeBron. Oh, no doubt.
That was when I came to set for a cameo. I never really did it much either.

Speaker 1 I came from Mickelson and I came for LeBron. And I remember, too, it was right after on PTI.

Speaker 1 Remember, you know, pardon the interruption, something came, they were talking about LeBron and Maverick and his crew, and they did something in the news.

Speaker 1 And Kornheiser goes, Wilbon, it is exactly what Vince and E would do. LeBron and Maver.
And then he comes on the show the next week, and it was, that was a banana's day.

Speaker 2 It was LeBron, Matt Damon. I also also remember like LeBron, because you know, people say that, like, oh, you want to come to set.

Speaker 2 I'm like, let me tell you something, you're going to last about six minutes, right? Okay, because you're going to be bored senseless, you're going to move too slow, and you're going to want to leave.

Speaker 2 I would have friends that say, well, don't be extras. I'm like, yo, you want to, you don't want to be an extra.
Because you're sure.

Speaker 2 Because once they fire that first shot on you, you're in, you're in. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So, um, that's a throwback three right there. That's it.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Good job.
Fellas, that's ended.

Speaker 1 Podcast is over. Shout out.
It's over. All right.
That was it. The boys, the boys were back.
We got to get Grignier next. We got to get Grenier.
We got a heavy sports conversation.

Speaker 3 According to you, that might be a tough one to get on.

Speaker 2 He's not going to be able to do that. No one knows where he is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 He could be pretty remote for lack of a word. But we'll get him on.
Who knows? Maybe we'll even get Emmanuel.

Speaker 3 We'll get Emmanuel on.

Speaker 2 Who knows?

Speaker 3 Let's do it, man. That was fun.

Speaker 1 And again, if you want, go to our YouTube or on any of our social media at Throwbacks. Matt's audition with Connolly and Dylan basically directing him for draft day is on there.

Speaker 1 And our three-point shootout, the score was settled, unfortunately for one of us, is up there right now. Thanks to the boys and listen to victory if you can.
Give those boys a download too.

Speaker 1 I'll be jumping on there soon and we'll be back next week, right, Matt?

Speaker 2 Yes, sir. Go USA.
Go USA. Let's go.

Speaker 3 I wore red, white, and blue today. It says so.

Speaker 2 Let's go.

Speaker 2 We out.
