And those are the people ultimately that I want my kids to learn from. And so that's what the first shows were, were basically it was cops that I was buddies with and gangsters that I was buddies with. But then it kind of evolved and it was, yeah, special forces soldiers, surgeons, teachers, activists, actors. But I'm a fan of your guys show. You guys are actually really great at this. I am not.
No, no, I'm really not. The point that I'm saying is that my show is never... It's not about you. It's definitely not. And the one thing that we hear over and over about my show is he doesn't say anything. You're a facilitator. That's great. I hope so. As I get older in both fatherhood and this career, I really keep coming back to intention. Intentions are everything.
Like, what are your fucking intentions? And every time that I've done one of those shows where... I can get behind my intentions, forgive me. But when I used to play baseball, I had this coach in college who used to say, you're in the batter's box. And all of a sudden you start spiraling. You're like, fuck, I can't hit this ball. Fuck, fuck, dude. He's got, look, he's gonna throw a curve ball.
What is it? And you start to spiral out of control. And this guy said that in those moments, you gotta step the fuck out and remind yourself, why do you do this in the first place? Take yourself back to like, what are you doing this for? And if that is really clear and solid in the podcast thing for me,
When I've had people on where I believe in this person, one day I want my son, little Bill Bernthal, to listen to this guy and be like, yeah, dad fucks with this guy. Dad says watch this guy. It's not about who they voted for. It's not about their politics. This motherfucker has integrity. This motherfucker is about it.
And the majority of the people that we have on our show, they've never been on camera before. You guys do that too. Like they've never done this. And I recognize that I'm asking them to do something that they're really not that comfortable with.
And so I do have a very weird relationship with it because look, you guys, I'm sure people are just lining up to be, I mean, like, look at the people you guys have on, like on our show, it's a little different. It's like, oh shit, that's right. I remember my friend from DC. It's more that kind of thing.
I'm sort of have to sell them on the fact that, Hey, you know me, I'm not going to fuck with you. Anything you don't want in here, take it out. You know, like you're good. And then in the same way, I know you're either a really good friend of mine or you're a friend of a friend's who say, this dude, there's no bullshit here. There's no bravado. There's no bluster.
This person, this woman, this man is the real thing.
This was awesome. Thank you. I really appreciate you guys having me. Yeah.
It was so good. Thank you, brother. Thank you very much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
