We could use her. And then they narrow them down, who they want to bring up the first four, who's going to be last. They want somebody energetic to come up last. They want a demo of who's watching the show. So it's not going to be all white people. It's not going to be all black people. It's not going to be all old people. It's not going to be college kids.
So if you're in the military and you're a vet and you're retired and there's three of you, and you see another military vet retire just got picked, you're not getting picked. If you're a college kid and they got their college kid, if they got their old married lady, whatever the demographics of the show is, we want that to be on the show. We want it to be representative of who's watching.
Not necessarily of who's in the audience, not random, but who's watching. Because we want the experience of people watching themselves and rooting for themselves and empathizing with whoever's on the show because those people are the stars of the show, not me. It's those people and the prizes. It's an aspirational prize. I would love to go on that trip. I need a new washer and dryer.
Even a bedroom set. Fuck, that looks great. I would wish I had a new bed. Like things you don't even think of. If somebody offered you like, hey, you want to get rid of this old washer and dryer you've been using for three years and get a brand new one that does steam? Yes, I'll take it. I know maybe you can't use all this game room, but look, it's a pool table, a dartboard, a video player.
You weren't thinking of it, but wouldn't it be cool?
It's something like that.
Or even if you didn't think it'd be, well, that'd be fun to have. And then the small items, grocery items, we had a butter churn on the show. That's not a prize. That's a thing you have to price to win the bigger prize. Yeah. We're not offering a butter churn. We're seeing if you know the price of a butter churn to win the better thing. It's all gamed out.
And so that's how we do it.
So a common thing that happens is somebody will come up on stage and they'll have a shirt on that says, pick my friend, it's her birthday.
And I'll talk to them in between. I'll go, who's the friend with the birthday over there? And what happens is when they're in line, the friends of the birthday girl, birthday guy will go, no, my God, you got to pick my friend. It's his day. We're bringing him here. Pick my friend. And the friend is like, oh, come on. Don't make a big deal out of it. Yeah, it's my birthday.
So we pick the energetic person who's all hyped up. Happens all the time.
Right. Yeah, that makes sense. We pick nine people. If there's 15 people up to 11, somebody's going to get left out. A lot of times you have to come back like five, six times or more and then finally get your turn. But it's a fun taping to come to anyway. And it's free.
They tried to go wireless with him once and it didn't work because it was brand new. It pooped out on him. Yeah. And he didn't trust it after that, they told me. That's interesting. I always wondered because I was like, hey, it's 1995 and he's still using it. People that are watching this instead of listening, you can see our microphones are pretty big.
And if you're not used to be on TV, you get this big microphone stuck in your face. It's off-putting. But if I have this little tiny thing that I can just flip out and put it right here and you barely notice it and flip it back. But they're mic'd up themselves.
When I first got on stage, what do they think of my body? Do I look ugly today? How's my hair? Oh my God, I'm fat. Look at these jeans. Everybody goes through that the first time they're ever on a camera. And honestly, in acting classes and stuff, the biggest thing an actor can learn is to say fuck it to all that. It's the fear of judgment that makes people a good actor or not a good actor.
Jack Black has no fear of judgment.
He doesn't give a fuck. I saw him, we did a charity thing. He walked out, he stripped down to his little tiny underwear and walked out all fat, bouncing around. You see his whole packet and he was just like dancing around and laughing.
Didn't give a fuck. Didn't give a flying fuck. And everybody was like, wow, Jack Black doesn't give a fuck. That's what you aspire to. If you can do that, when people are doing a scene where they're sobbing and crying and just a complete wreck, they have to not give a fuck about looking weak. They have to not give a fuck.
Whatever scene that they have you in, you're playing a character and you need to be as real as possible. You cannot think, oh, what if my wife sees me with this chick? What if my friends see me groveling to this guy in a scene because I want something for him? I'm going to look weak. Yeah, your character's weak.
So when you're talking to this guy and he's a mob boss and you want something, fucking grovel. Fucking cry like your life depends on it. You would never do that in real life, but you have to be able to do that. And some people can't let that go. They're not as good an actor. And people that can not give a fuck for that moment.
