It was awesome. Bitch!
We used to play downy in football.
You did?
Yeah, when I played Pop Warner football, they'd always go, don't worry about downy, they're soft and white. That was always the big joke.
Yeah, that was back in the 80s. That was back in the early 80s.
We're talking about more of the mid-late 70s.

Chapter 3: What insights does Andy Fickman share about his career?
Connie Stevens. I know you did it to get work. But don't wax on about how proud you are of your heritage and change your last name to Stevens. Stevens.
Stevens.
That was Samantha from Bewitched. That was her last name. Stevens. There's no less Italian sounding last name than Stevens. And did anyone ever know that Connie Stevens, I wouldn't have guessed you had one drop of Italian in her.
Oh, come on.
Connie Stevens. All right. So that was the other one. Now, the other one that was funny is the other guy. that we honored was from Showgirls, and he played the heavy. He was like the badass. He was like, he ran the strip club. Colin Walken. No, no, he ran the strip club. He was the asshole. He was the real heavy. He was like the older heavy guy. He was like Johnny, Robert, Robert Davi.
You've seen this dude. Oh, yeah. Robert...
Oh, yeah, I've seen him in everything.
Robert Davies.
He's got a face like beef jerks.

Chapter 4: How has Dwayne Johnson transitioned from wrestling to acting?
Yeah, I told him the whole time it was not over.
He has made a nice transition from the wrestling ring into the silver screen. And now is at the point where, again, he's not even the rock. I think maybe drop the rock part. He is. He's just Dwayne Johnson. What's his, you keep in touch with him?
Yeah, all the time. He's a great, great guy.
What's great about him? Soft lips.
Nail room. That's the rock. He's pinned you. You know what?

Chapter 5: What unique dining experience did Alanna and Dwayne share in Texas?
This is what I like about him. This is a guy who we were traveling. I'm from Texas. We go back to see my family in Houston and on the press tour. Every time you go on the press tour, you know, they take you to some fancy schmancy restaurant where they're going to feed you. And as we're going there, he said, look, I want to go to a we're going to be in Texas.
I want to go to one of your favorite barbecue places. I was like, look, I'm going to warn you. My favorite barbecue place isn't going to be like Morton's with the thing. We went to a place that truly, Lulings in Houston, Texas, they put your meat on just a piece of paper, like a paper towel. There's no plate.
Chapter 6: How does Dwayne Johnson's work ethic reflect his sports background?
They put your meat on paper towel, and you carry your paper towel. I don't know what the theory is that we can't afford plates in Texas, but... Meat on paper towel and sauce. And I thought for sure Dwayne was going to have just, he was going to. What was the place called?
Luling's. Luling's. Luling's in Houston, Texas. Wow, it's weird. We're just talking about barbecue joints and Dwayne fit right in.
Dwayne not only fit right in, asked me all the time, hey, next time we're back there, let's go to Luling's. Like, he's that type of guy. And also, here's the other thing. I've never seen a star who, when they're walking through a crowd where everyone's screaming, it's not like you can't see this guy. This guy will stop for every photograph, every autograph.
This guy lets his fans be a part of his world.
Well, you know, I think what a lot – everyone thinks these guys are prima donnas or whatever, but they don't realize a guy like Dwayne Johnson has such a strong work ethic to get where he is, to play his background in sports, to come from where he comes from, to get where he is today. A guy like that cannot do it without a ton of discipline.
And guys who have a ton of discipline seem to have a lot of respect for other people for some reason. And I think I'm going to chalk it up to football and athletics. Those guys just... They're used to a having a coach, having an authority figure. They're not like, get the fuck out of my face. I'm a foot taller than you and I could crush you.
And how dare you tell me they're used and they're used to team sports like they're used to going, OK, this is an ensemble. And I guess making a movie. In the three or four months it takes to make a movie with the director being the coach and maybe the star is the quarterback. And then you have your best friend who's the tight end and you can keep going with the analogies.
It's about as long as a football season. It takes about the same effort. And if you have a really shitty attitude, you're probably not going to win too many games. And he seems to bring that sports mentality to the set. He also goes around. Never met the man, by the way. But basically at all.
No, no, no, no. He will go around every night when we wrap. That guy will go around and handshake every crew member. He will thank. He will remember crew members. He hears somebody's got a family or a birthday or something. That's who he is. But it's the work ethic. Like I said, this is a guy who, you know, his life changed in high school with football. A coach really turned his life around.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of a teacher getting fired from a public school?
And they deserve every second of that. And they deserve it a little earlier. It's just I'm nice and I'm willing to listen at the beginning.
I remember that very clearly. I remember the guy coming in with his nine-page script and the Snapple. But what's notable here is, Jessica, how many words of that news story do you think you got out? I would say six at this point. Probably, yeah, six to nine.
However, I was just thinking about the Snapple guy and what you said people kind of, it comes around. I imagine this guy has got himself in plenty of his own tragic situations if he couldn't find...
Chapter 8: How does the shooting incident unfold during the school board meeting?
or figure out the difference between a peach and an apple. Yeah, I mean, and then you're a demanding dick.
I wanted fresh pressed peach puree.
Get me any peach and apple. Make it yourself.
I didn't say tea. That was the big deal. All right. Anyway, sorry. What happened?
Yeah, so this guy, to avenge his wife being fired from this school board.
Which, by the way, to me was the weirdest thing about the story because a teacher never gets fucking fired from a public school. What do you have to do? Rape someone with a sample bottle. And even then, they just send you to a rubber room and keep paying you.
How about the fact that he shot at his wife's car a few years back? So it's like, I'll fuck with my wife, but don't you? Right. So this guy busts into the meeting. He paints this V for vendetta, like a big red V, takes out a pistol. And you don't understand. He shoots six people. Not one person was shot. At one point, they show the video. It's really scary.
He shoots six people, but he doesn't hit any of them? I bet that publicist wished this guy pulled up on a bicycle.
I was just saying, how does a guy nail Ronnie Chasen five times in the chest? She's in a moving car and he's on a bicycle and this guy can't nail somebody six feet away who's sitting.
