So right as the country's reopening, I get a DM from Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric. And I'm covering something called the UFO Mega Conference in Laughlin, Nevada, which is a beautiful river town. And, um, you know, he, he DMs me, he says, let's make a show. And I'm like, oh shit, is this real? You know, I grew up such a big fan of, uh, Nathan for you and the Eric Andre show.

And those are produced by their company. Absolutely. So I was like, hell yeah, let's do it. Um, And three days later, I get a call that says Jonah Hill wants to hop on board. And I can't believe this. I'm still in the RV and I'm in Laughlin, Nevada. So I'm like, Jonah Hill, super bad. Are you shitting me right now? So I was excited. And Moneyball, Jonah Hill's a great actor.

So basically, just within a week, I assembled this super team of Tim and Eric.

Yeah, pretty much. Of Tim and Eric. Sorry, I'm so sorry. No, that was good. And Jonah Hill. And yeah, we just pitched it around. Every single TV network rejected it. I don't know why. And they mainly did that because I was in this weird situation where I had signed a contract with Doing Things Media that I didn't realize was called a 360 deal. That's what they use in like the rap world.

Basically means that I can't do anything outside of them without them getting 100% of the money. So if I was to go work at Sbarro or Quiznos while I was working for all gas, no brakes, they would get my 500 bucks a week from the sandwich spot. I was unable to earn any outside income. I didn't read the fine print because I was 21. And like I told you, 45K a year RV sounds sick.

And basically, the TV networks were like, why would we buy a show if the digital brand is going to be running at the same time? Because they didn't want to stop doing All Gas No Brakes to make a TV show. They wanted All Gas No Brakes to continue as a web show while All Gas No Brakes as a future TV show at Showtime or Hulu or somewhere like that was also concurrently running.

which is impossible for one man to do. And so every TV network said, okay, we're not doing that. We want an exclusive rights contract with this guy. Next, oh yeah, this is crazy to think about because it all happened so fast. So Jonah Hill says A24 Films wants to do a movie instead of a show and they're going to let you keep the digital brand running.

So this meant that I could keep doing my Instagram stuff with doing things media slash all gas, no brakes while making an A24 movie with Jonah Hill and Tim and Eric. So it was just like, I was excited. It sounded perfect. So they said, okay, what do you want to make a movie about? And I told them, okay, here's what's going to happen in 2020.
