I love the boost mobile hotline. That thing was just so entertaining. I was just like, give me more. And now I'm just obsessed with chit. Anyway, so so we're we're hanging out. Which seems like forever, but it's really like three minutes, right? Before they get the cameras going and waiting for action. Very first action I hear ever professionally from Brian De Palma.
I'm just waiting, but I can't because Al Pacino is chit-chatting. and he's like so what'd you do this weekend and i'm like uh i uh took my girlfriend out for her birthday um we went to the movies and had dinner he's like how old did did she turn and i'm like uh 23 and there's a slight pause and then he says good age Action!

Yeah, I'm kind of pissed. A buddy of mine who's a Clippers fan just texted me at 7 in the morning out here, and I just responded by saying I hate basketball, which is, of course, not true. But I'm really down, but I'm not nervous at all. We're definitely going to take the series.

Big time! That is my infamous scale of 1 to 10. That's a 7.6. Solid. Good job, Zaz. That's a suey nominee right there. Zaz asking what he did this weekend now.

I'll give you the very short version, but I couldn't, I was, I was on very little sleep because we shot that over the course of two days and I, and it took way over the 12 hours to complete the first day.
