Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, not to spoil the episode.
I'll do it. What are you doing?
Yeah, you don't need to see the race. But it's like, how much of the race do you need to show? It's like, just him getting a jump on Michael Vick is enough to make you laugh. And like, oh, maybe he's actually going to do this, you know?
obviously like in in in writing it's show don't tell this is the inversion of that it's don't show either like don't show and don't tell it's kind of like uh like horror movies you know it's like the less you show sometimes it's like the better you know let people's imagination work a little bit you know um i mean donald always had a philosophy on the show too just like
We don't need to explain everything to the audience. We don't need to, like, hold their hand through everything. Like, they're going to get it. You know, TV sometimes, you're, like, too worried about, like, explaining everything. You know, it's like, I got to bring a dangerous mind script.
I remember me and one of the other writers on the show, Jamal, a.k.a. Swank. I remember we went to ComplexCon one year out here in L.A. And you go into the bathroom and it's like, A hundred dice games going on, like, full Monty. It's like a Star Wars casino in the back. And that's what's kind of, like, funny about, like, Atlanta. Like, you know, the strip club or, like, the parking lot even.
It's like there's, like, a million things, like, going on, other side hustles. Side adventures happening all throughout this place. It's like a pool game going on over here for thousands of dollars. It's just this idea that Michael Vick could raise money whenever he wants. Just by raising drunk people. Which, to be fair, is a pretty great thing.
I mean, if I was in Atlanta and Michael Vick was in a parking lot and people were raising him, I would definitely be interested.
that's like that's a complex youtube franchise actually speaking of which man we should talk to michael vick and see how if he wants to race people he interviews people like they're like stretching he's like kind of like all right so like uh what's the movie about like they're both starting flying and he races them he's like racing like you have to answer while you're racing him
it's like long distance like they gotta race him for like a mile that's the equalizer with michael vick if you can run for a long time you know that's how you beat him what was the the pitch to michael vick was that a hard you remember if it was a hard ask if he got it immediately if he was like yeah i'll do that i think he was pretty on board he was actually like Sure, yeah, that sounds cool.
I remember he was into it and fine. I mean, with that shot in particular, I'm like, that's just like a perfect kind of picture of doing comedy, especially too, of like... The script, whatever's in the script there, it was not what it was there. You know what I mean? It's like, you got to like find it. You got to find the comedic timing. Sometimes that's there. Sometimes it's in the editing.
I realized that too, like first season. People would read scripts and they would be like, what is this? You know, kind of like, what are we doing?
Yeah, exactly. Wait, it's cool. It's cool. This is me. This is the real Justin. It was always funny with the Justin Bieber episode. I remember we literally sent it to FX, the script, and they were like, Are we going to be able to get Justin Bieber? Like that was like the kind of the first ask, because that's that's how hard it was for them to understand what was going on.
They're like, so Donald's going to get Justin Bieber, right? Because we're not. We can't do that, you know.
In some ways, it's like, yeah, it would be hard to get it made. But at the same time, I think people are just as thirsty for this type of thing. So in some ways, the climate is like perfect for it, you know?
have enough of it even as we're starving for it even when people are asking for it the timing's got to be right you got to be able to like find a way to cut through i think our show was able to cut through and like in an age where everybody's also like look at me i'll do anything to cut through it's like how do you subvert that it's like well you just be good i guess
You definitely should, you know? I mean, it's like, I'll go to the, like, farmer's market, very LA sort of thing, you know? And there's like this bread-like place that's there, just kind of like French bakery that comes out there. And all the bread is like, every time you come, most of it's gone. Because I guess people are coming at like 6 in the morning to get this bread or whatever.
You want to be like, there's no way this is...
and croissant is that good or whatever and then you like get one you get like something there you're like oh this actually is pretty good and you're like yeah you know like you said betting on the people who know what they're doing you could you could think like man i'll just go to vons and get a croissant but it's like you're gonna pay for that no and by the way what you need
