Jimmy Tatro

That is correct.

Produced it, starred in it.

Yeah, he's definitely my GOAT. And it was definitely... Like, yeah, the whole time I was there, you'd be just hanging out, kicking it. And then there'd be like that part of me that'd be creeping in, like almost nudging myself. Like, dude, that's fucking welfare. Yeah, right. Shut up, Jimmy. Shut up. Be chill. Be chill right now. But he's like. I don't know. They say don't meet your heroes.

That guy is everything I hoped he would be and more. That's awesome. He's so cool, so funny. He's the best. Yeah. I have nothing but nice things to say about that guy.

It is funny. I mean, he's actually funny, but it is funny, like, when you do a movie and there's, like, a big star on the movie, they can kind of say anything they want. Yeah. And, like, a lot of times people are just...

He, like, gave us, like, a little, him and Reese gave, like, a little speech before the premiere. And it seemed like he was just coming out to just, like, introduce the movie. Like, you know, they've done a few of those. But you could tell the whole crowd was, like, just like, oh, what's he going to say? Yeah. He's going to say something funny. It's coming. It's coming.

And he kind of, like, felt that. And then it was like, okay, I guess I'll be funny. Yeah. And he started doing, like, a little bit. And it ended up being really funny. Yeah. But I was like, it's got to be a lot of pressure to be funny. to be Will Ferrell.

Yeah, you're like, it can't be. There's a bit coming. Yeah.

It's coming. It's serious now, but there's going to be a punchline. I'm just waiting for it.

When or where? When? We filmed it in 2023, in like May.

Yeah. Cause it's happened. There's been movies I've done that have like even more time has passed and I've like given up on them ever coming out. And then they come out and you're like, Oh, okay. That's. And then you're watching it and you're like, Oh wow. I hadn't even seen the movie. Yeah. I watched it for the first time at the premiere.

Uh, because I like finally got around to watching the link and like my power went out and I was like, I think it's a sign. I think I just need to watch it at the premiere for the first time. But I like watching them for the first time with the audience. Yeah. Get the vibe.

But you guys are also saying a lot more things. True. Yeah, that's accurate.

Do you guys get post-podcast anxiety where you sometimes finish and you go, what have I said?

Yeah.

But then you do it again, like what, the next day?

Yeah.

Dude, I think it's getting... I'm getting further away from my 20s. But I think I could still play like 25. Okay. Yeah? Okay. Not a high schooler anymore? I don't think so. Maybe in Greece.

But I also, I was watching a movie. It was called, I think it was called The Idol Maker. I don't know if you guys have seen this movie. But at one point in the movie, this guy says, Mom, I'm only 27 and I'm like looking at this this actor and I'm like there's no way You're 27. He's got like a receding hairline.

He's like I in my head 45 right and I look him up cuz I'm curious to see how old he was when he filmed the movie and he was Like oh people did look a little older. Yeah.

I

You are a movie star. Yes, ever since PMT eight years ago.

I went from YouTube to part of my take and then straight to the film business.

dude they're actually working on that oh really shit and i actually was going to audition for but it said you have to know how to sing and i was like dude i i can't yeah i can't sing yeah that's i i have no faith in my singing you would have had the socal thing down though Yeah, I would have had the SoCal thing down, but he's a singer.

The guy is a singer.

I think he's, Chalamet will be playing everyone from now on.

Yeah, I played this guy, Bert Kreischer. Yeah. I mean, I really had to dig deep to get in touch with who he was back then. Yeah, that's the only biopic I've done. I think I've taken a bit of a stance against biopics. I'm somewhat anti-biopic.

Yeah. Why? I just think enough.

we've done them all, and people are starting to get the rights to stories before they're even done happening. It's like something, like news breaks, like the Luigi Mangione thing happened, and then it's like someone gets the rights the next day. Dude, this hasn't even finished happening yet. Let the story at least end before you buy the rights to it and start casting someone To play the person.

Through somewhat fictional biopics.

So you think pretty much every notable thing that's happened follows, for some reason, the same story structure.

It's weird there's always a love interest halfway through. Yeah, they always get a girlfriend. Yeah. They all get into drugs. Yeah.

I actually, when we were shooting this movie, This was one of my first experiences with Reese.

Witherspoon. Have you heard of the restaurant in L.A.? Like two years ago, it was like the number one restaurant in L.A., and it came out that the head chef had been murdering cats. What? I remember that, yeah. What's the place called? Wild Jacking Off.

No, so this was a real thing that happened in LA, and this story broke. What restaurant? It was called, I don't want to put him on blast, but it was called.

The New York Times put out the article, so it's public knowledge, but it was called Horses.

Yeah, like the divorce proceedings came out. Oh. And apparently the husband had been murdering cats.

So like when this story broke, it was huge news. Everyone's phones are going off and I'm on set of the movie and I'm like seeing this and I get the text and I'm like, oh my God. And Meredith Hagner, who plays my wife, is like, what? And I tell her and she goes, oh my God. Right as Reese walks up and Reese is like, what? And I'm like, oh no, it's just, it's, it's, it's nothing.

You know, I don't want to be the, I don't want to be the guy that's like telling her this. It's like my second interaction with her. You know, I don't want to have to tell her this story.

So I'm like, ah, it's just, you know, some crazy story in LA. Mira's like, tell her, Jimmy. Like, okay, well, you know, the restaurant horses. She's like, yeah. Apparently the chef's been, he's been murdering cats.

I'm like, I know, right? And I go to walk away. And Meredith's like, no, Jimmy, tell her the rest. While jacking off. She's like, oh, my God. And I'm like, that's now my first impression. I'm the guy that was like, I'm like the cat jack off guy.

Yeah.

how I wanted my first impression to go here.

It is. I just didn't want to be the guy breaking that news. Cause then I was like, there's an immediate association now with me and this story.

I wonder who has the rights. I was like, are you serious?

No, but I know the tweet you're talking about is incredible.

It's like Yellowstone. It's like Yellowstone. We need the wolves. The wolves need to be there.

Damn, Daniel. Fucking Alex from Target. I just saw a photo that was like, Alex from Target turned 27 today. Yeah, right.

No, wait.

Boom. Oh, they're the... That's what I was thinking. I didn't know they were the Costco. Why are they the Costco guys?

That's like the Rizzler, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And his older brother and dad?

And they're the ones that have the podcast room next door, right?

Yeah.

He is like, remember Lil Terrio? Yeah.

Like Lil Terrio, he was like 12 and he was like smoking blunts with rappers and stuff.

And everyone's like, man, it's so funny. He was almost like Hasbulla. Yeah. But he was actually 12. Yeah. So it was certainly not okay.

That would be tough.

Trying to wrangle.

And also like getting a no.

Like, hey, so he's a bit busy. And you're like bummed. You hate to admit it, but you're kind of bummed. Yeah. Fuck, man. I was really banking on doing this collab with the Rizzler. Yeah. And he's 12 and he just big leagued me.

Oh, man.

I was... I'm not going to say I was offended, but it just seems like a lot of people...

You went, right? You used to go all the time, right?

I lied.

Yeah, this guy I was seeing used to go to a lot of Diddy parties.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I said it before, I'll say it again. There's no excuses. You know, I fucked up. I fucked up.

That was where my head was at. It was a 10-day shoot. So it was, you know, we had to move fast. And... Yeah, but like I said, in hindsight, I fucked up.

But I did want to ask, you mentioned Hasbulla, and I was curious, what happened to that guy? Is he still going strong? I think he is. He used to grace my feet all the time. Yeah. He was really active, and I haven't seen him in months, maybe a year.

Yeah.

Yeah, and picked him up and was tickling him and stuff.

Yeah. Do you think he hates the Rizzler? Do you think there's beef? Yeah.

For sure.

We can talk about it, yeah. I'm open to discussing it.

I was alarmed to find out he was only 6'1". Yeah. I mean, that was a while ago now, but I guess in my head, he was like 6'7".

And then when they said he was 6'1", I was like, that just changed my whole

perception of of his size his levitism all of it yeah and six one's not like that's short in the nba that's small yeah he doesn't look small though and he's like the way he's dunking it doesn't look six one well he was listed at what six four in college yeah i think so i think so and then they measured him at the comp that's that's a tough three inches is that is that a shoes off six one i think so i think that's how they measure yeah but like why do they measure they're wearing shoes on the court

What are your tall shoes?

Are they Hoka's? Because Hoka's have a lot of.

Wow.

And then what do you jump up to with your tall shoes on?

But you can't really wear tall basketball shoes. I don't know. I guess my argument is you're not on the court barefoot.

No, I think if you can do it, you do it. Yeah. If you have a chance to play with your kid, you play with your kid. Yeah. It's an absolute no-brainer situation for LeBron.

Yeah, it is. I mean, the second we drafted him, I knew I was like, damn it. We've just signed up for like a novelty situation.

Which I'm happy for him. But like they got the photos, you know, they got the photos already.

of him, you know, they're on the court doing the dad-son hug, some passes. I think maybe they just are waiting to get like an oop.

Of a franchise.

Once proud... No, no. No, no. It's an always proud situation.

It's not once proud. Like, once proud would be like... Like the Patriots.

You know, the Patriots were once proud. Now they are not so proud.

I'm going to count 2020. Well, we don't count 2020. Yeah, but you have to count 2020. Well, you don't.

I mean, I think 2020 is you take all the fans out.

The home court advantage. It's just them in there. If anything, it should count more. This is sounding like he's not proud. If anything, 2020 counts the most.

Listen, you take out all the distractions and you just boil that game down to who's truly the best. Everyone plays on the same court. Everyone plays the same court.

No traveling. You know, tougher on those young guys. They haven't traveled as long.

So if anything, they had the advantage. Mm-hmm. They enjoyed it more. They don't have families. He had to deal with missing his family.

The older guys have to deal with that.

If anything, that was just a testament.

Um, no, I've been courtside. I have a buddy who has some courtside.

I think a lot of, a lot of, uh, agencies have, have, uh, courtside tickets. So then if you like really, I mean like they usually give them to like, like you'll see like Rihanna. I'm like, I think, you know,

Me.

No, I was actually supposed to be. I was under the impression I had courtside tickets to the Knicks last night. My manager was like, hey, got us courtside tickets. And then we ended up being in like the third row. Oh, no. Which, you know, I didn't want to be like complaining. Were you on the Jumbotron? I did go on the Jumbotron.

Yeah. That's brutal.

Yeah. Me and him. Me and him.

Yeah. They're like, hey, can we show you? I was like, you're still showing me?

He was pretty close. I couldn't hear him, but he was like, I mean, I don't think he was very vocal last night. I think I would have heard him, but he was, he was like 10, 15 feet away.

I mean, how, if you look at the amount of Knicks games he's been to compared to, I mean, what's his last movie? Was it black Klansman?

That was a while ago.

I guess you could say joint. I don't know what that means credit-wise. If you put joint up there, if it fucks something up in the paperwork and maybe he just doesn't care. Maybe he's getting a joint buy credit instead of a created or written. He doesn't have any writing credits. It's just jointed buy credits.

Bong. Bong?

I thought you said bomb. Oh, that works too. A Tetro bomb. A Jimmy Tetro bomb. It should be a cool thing. Like a bomb... Should be a good thing, I feel like, in movies. Like it bombed, like it fucking... Yeah, but no, it's not. It's bad.

Maybe I could rebrand Bomb, a Jimmy Tatro Bomb. I like that.

I could try.

I think so.

For now, at least. I mean, I... So you're not saying maybe it still has something? I... Yeah. Not... It's... We did... We gave it the ending we wanted to give it. We had Tony Hawk play adult Hawk. Hawk's older than me. Hawk dies of old age. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it. But, like, I really saw Hawk dying as being, like... That's it. The ending. Maybe there's...

Yeah, so I'm working on another show right now that it is, I don't want to jinx anything, so I don't want to say anything that hasn't happened, but it's set in the snow.

That's not where my head was at, but there could be dogs.

It's not animated. It's not animated.

The Alpinist?

Yeah, I heard the ending is no good.

It was in French?

Who was the main French guy?

You don't strike me as the kind of guy that'd be watching French films.

I'm a big subtitles guy.

I completely agree with this. Yeah. I was actually thinking it'd be cool if there was, like, because I get subtitles when I go to the movies because I can't hear very well.

But, like, when you buy a subtitle device, I mean, you don't buy it. But when you get a, you can go to any theater and say, can I get subtitles for the movie? Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, you don't want to do it because what they hand you is this three foot long metal stick where you stick the end in the cup holder and then you like crank the subtitle into position in front of you. On a screen. So there's like a little screen that you get that has kind of a shield around it. So that people, like, to your right and above you can't, like, there's no light.

I didn't even know this. So you angle it so it's right under the screen. And then you kind of have to, like, because it's so close, refocus, you know, to do that. And it is, like, loud. Like, if you want to move it, it's like... And you're walking around, you know, getting popcorn, holding this massive... I'm like, I just want to understand the movie.

And you got me walking around this theater looking like a fucking idiot.

Yeah, I bring my hearing test, slide it across, and they say, yep, deaf enough.

I do, but a lot of times, like IMAX, they don't do it for like 70 millimeter IMAX.

Yeah, they do need that because I'll go to... Yeah. Like I went to... I forget. I saw one recently and it was 70mm IMAX. And I was like, hey, could I get the subtitles? And they go, oh, no. This is 70mm IMAX. And I was like, yeah, no, I'm aware.

And they're like, yeah, that would ruin the viewing experience. And I was like... But I can't hear. What if I can't hear well? How about my viewing experience? Yeah.

But I didn't I didn't used to do that. But my brother, he has a worse hearing loss than me.

Volleyball. Deaf volleyball. Deaf volleyball.

Is he going to the Olympics? Tokyo in November. Is that the Olympics? That's the Deaf Olympics. He was in the Deaf World Championships last time I talked to you guys.

This upcoming November. Tokyo. What are the expectations? I'm going, baby.

They are not the top seed, no. Turkey, I think, is the top seed. They're good.

But would it even help in volleyball? The Turkish team, well, because you can't communicate.

So, like, there's a lot of communication in volleyball. You have to take your hearing aids out. You can't talk to each other. You can only sign. But I was like, you know, seeing these Turkish guys and I'm like, I'd like to see some hearing tests.

I don't think that guy's deaf enough.

I don't know if I told you this last time, but there was one time. where they would like keep playing, the whistle would blow. But like, they can't hear the whistles. So they just keep going and going and just like.

Yeah, I was like, how does the deaf track meet go? You know, the gun goes off and everyone's just.

We would like gold. I'm expecting gold. You have to expect it. I'm expecting gold. We're expecting gold. We are.

But he was the one that introduced me to this whole, I didn't even know you could go to theaters and do that. Yeah. So now I do, but I'm embarrassed about it.

And also, when you ask the people, they all have them, but everyone's response is, oh, um... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, did you have to react like that? Yeah. No one has ever asked for this before.

Call their manager.

If I was, you know. A little more anal about things. I'd cause a ruckus about this. You should.

Yeah, you don't want to do the dubs.

Well, also with the dub, you lose other sounds too, you know?

Because think about it, like if they're on set or like if they're recording our dialogue and, you know, you're hearing, you know, I sit down and you hear the couch as I'm talking, you know, and that's in the same sound clip. When you dub it, you lose other sounds. Yeah. So then they got to like manufacture it like little things, you know?

I don't think so. Have you ever done any dub work? I did. I dubbed a animated movie from Japanese to English called Airbound. And I played a mouse named Matthew.

It was huge. But it's funny because they give you the script and it's the same sentence somewhat, but they write it in a way where it kind of looks like what's being said. So you're trying to match to what already exists, whereas when you do it the other way around, you record all the audio and then they animate to your voice.

So it's harder to dub.

Pretty much. You see it, and then you see the line, and you try to match it as well as you can. It's not going to be perfect, but you just try to match it as well as you can. I also learned on that thing that when it's a kid's show, everything goes up. I'd be like, here we go. Here we go. They're like, no. Here we go.

It goes up.

It's not how I say things, but that's like what the, I don't know.

Yeah. Right. What are your kids watching?

Oh.

That's awesome, because the Minions are, I love the Minions.

What about Blippi?

No, it's not dark. Biopic coming?

The Niagara Falls Museum is at Niagara Falls? That's amazing, yeah. Is it just a room with a window where you can look at Niagara Falls, and that's the museum?

I've never understood damming things. How do you stop the water? How do you first stop the water in order to build the thing that stops the water?

Niagara Falls when they stopped it.

Isn't that crazy? If you told me that was like a little, like a really little stream. Yeah, it doesn't look as good. Yeah.

There's a lot of jump guys that jump off of... I watch those videos. Dude, my feed has been taken over by these guys. Yeah. They do like 10 backflips and then just land in water.

With the hammers? Yeah. Have you seen that guy? It's crazy. With the two axes? I watch it every time. I'm like, why the axes? It's cool.

Jumps off a cliff? Yeah. And like...

And they keep pushing the record, like the world record death dive. Oh, yeah, we're going to watch them die. Someone, the winner will die.

Are you seeing a lot of death videos? Because I'm seeing a lot of death. I wish I was seeing less death.

Yeah.

I would see, it would seem like an, like a unsuspecting video. It'd be like the definition of fuck around and find out. Yeah. And I'd be like, oh, cool. It's gonna be a little fight or something. And it'd be like, you know, an argument and then someone pulls out a gun and like kills someone. And I'd be like, Dude, it's 9 a.m.

I deleted X. What? The everything app? It all happens on X. Why? It was just depressing me. Everything I was seeing on there was just like.

It was just bad. I didn't like anything I was seeing, and I was like, go on here. I see depressing information and just terrible opinions, and I get mad.

No, I mean, I still like I'm still on like Instagram.

I think so. That's awesome. But feedback in what sense?

Yeah, I don't read all of them, but I see the- Yeah, peruse. See them.

But it's not like when I was posting YouTube videos where I would- Read all the comments. When I would post every week. You guys are posting things consistently, so there's more of a feedback dynamic.

Not anymore. No, that's awesome.

Yeah, finally. I got some shit to say.

God, I'm failing. The color was all off in this scene.

Dude, that prank is incredible. Have you seen that prank?

What are you doing? All the replies are like unrelated now. Yeah, oh yeah. They're like random. People just send random things now in replies.

I don't like it over there. Yeah. I had to get out of there.

On the writing side, I'm still into comedy. But on the acting side, I think it's time to do some action comedy. Top Gun 3? Start doing some stunts while I'm still athletic.

I would love to do... I'm getting too old, but I always wanted to do a basketball movie.

The next Hoosiers.

I would play LeBron. I'd buzz the head. I'd play Caruso.

That would be cool. Because also, when was the last time we had a good big sports movie?

That's true. Yeah. Not everything needs to be a miniseries. I agree. Like with documentaries, sometimes... It could be one thing. It doesn't need to be three episodes. Just make it one doc.

Yeah, I can't. I'm at a loss. I'm thinking right now.

Max Memes, you got one?

What did he say?

Played like a scout. Oh, Thunderstruck starring Kevin Durant.

Oh, that was fantastic. I guess that counts.

I haven't seen Hustle. What do you got, Hank? Air.

This is happening?

What do you mean it's happening? Kevin James played Sean Payton. Sean Payton, yeah.

Is it funny or serious?

Because that screenshot, that looks serious.

I don't know what Jim Carrey is up to these days, but that is Jim Carrey in The Grinch. That was the first time I thought to myself, maybe I should act.

The Grinch Grinch. That was what did it for me.

I just remember how I felt watching The Grinch. I was like, wow, he's bringing me so much joy. I would like to be able to bring someone this much joy.

Just stream it. Just stream it. Throw it on.

Just throw it on.

Why not?

Yeah. I hit my first shot. I took one, and then I hit the first one right after that.

Yeah. Exactly.
