95.325 - 116.659

Coming up first today, we have Adam Curl's show 762 with Greg Fitzsimmons, Josh Gardner, DFG, Alison Rosen, and Brian Bishop. This one's from 2012. Josh Gardner plays the character Deaf Frat Guy, one of the original characters of the KLSX Morning Show from 2006. Something from a writer's room, from the Man Show. Throughout the years, Adam had Josh Gardner do this bit. He played a deaf frat guy.

116.88 - 119.644

He also released several albums. Hope you guys enjoy.

123.708 - 129.836 Brian Cranston

Good day, Paul Bryan. Good day, Alison Rosen.

129.856 - 130.838 Josh Gardner

Hello, Adam Carolla.

130.938 - 155.422 Brian Cranston

Well, Josh Gardner, good to see you. Good day, Ace Man. It's been a long time since I darkened this doorway. Yeah. A lot of guts showing your face around here. A lot of guts. And I respect that. Okay. Josh was... Last time Josh got his acoustic guitar out, he was in front of 1,200 people? 1,150 people? 2,500. What? What? S-R-O. Standing room only.

Chapter 2: What insights are shared about past podcast clips?

204.757 - 205.818

Josh does neither nor.

0

205.899 - 213.148 Brian Cranston

Yeah, Josh was more mascot than. Actually, I talked to Jimmy. As it turns out, you owe us each $287,000.

0

215.153 - 219.138 Josh Gardner

Well, deduct the amount of the potato keychain he gave you.

0

221.08 - 243.528 Brian Cranston

Josh was more mascot than he was actual writer on The Man Show. But about once every three weeks, he would pitch a bit based on hockey goons that used to infuriate Jimmy. Because Jimmy's like, fucking, I'm tired. No one wants to hear any more about hockey. Then Josh used to injure himself playing hockey on the weekends and then say he couldn't come in Monday.

0

243.568 - 263.508 Brian Cranston

And then Daniel forced you to come in wearing a, but you had to wear a neck brace, right? Yeah, cervical collar. Yeah, cervical collar. It wasn't a halo, though. You want to do your impersonation of the deaf frat guy talking about cleaning up pumpkins? Because this is what we used to do. We'd all sit in the writer's room.

263.948 - 275.858 Brian Cranston

We'd send Josh out to the end of the hallway, shut the door, and then 13 guys would just sit in the room, and we'd have you run in and do this. Out of breath. Out of breath.

276.239 - 282.184 Alison Rosen

Blake Chambers and the Teaks are going to do a dance on our face if we don't clean up those pumpkins.

283.244 - 297.183 Brian Cranston

Blake Chambers is going to do a dance on his face. There's some incident with pumpkins. There's always something with pumpkins. Now, which were your bits on the man show, just because this would be amusing? Salute to advertising mascots.

297.464 - 297.924 Alison Rosen

Oh, okay.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights of the upcoming clips?

303.332 - 317.804 Brian Cranston

0

318.485 - 327.7 Alison Rosen

There were so many, you can't remember. Oh, I see. I somehow got into... I became the official supervisor for the trampoline thing. Uh-huh.

0

328.101 - 353.213 Brian Cranston

That's a good gig. Going to Elysian Park and watching the hot chicks on the trampolines. Yeah, it was a... Hey, hey. It was a great gig. Yeah. Josh brought his guitar. Speaking of songs, I promised you guys my Southern California Jewish Center song, right? Yes. We couldn't find it online. It's going to set your people back a couple hundred years, Allison. Be prepared.

0

353.273 - 366.064 Brian Cranston

We got it from Dennis Prager's producer, and I'll be on stage at Redondo Beach at the Performing Arts Center with Dennis Prager doing a sit-down, a quiet, thoughtful sit-down.

0

366.084 - 366.846

366.826 - 391.872 Brian Cranston

Yeah. It'll be a meaning of life sort of sit down. The first show is about gone and second show added Saturday night. So you can check that out. Dennis, just a just a fantastic mind. And we couldn't be further apart on many topics, but we are simpatico on others. So I will bring you I will play you now. We found the old jingle. This is a.

391.852 - 416.954 Brian Cranston

This is an actual jingle for the Southern California Jewish Center. You hear a lot about stuff about, you know, the Negro College Fund. Is that what they call it? United Negro College Fund. United Negro College Fund. And a lot of stuff about, you know, for 39 cents a day, you can keep a family fed in El Salvador. For, you know, a lot of just for pennies a day.

417.015 - 419.817 Brian Cranston

For the price of that cup of coffee you're drinking today.

419.797 - 442.547 Brian Cranston

Chapter 4: What are the implications of government regulation on adult entertainment?

4420.302 - 4423.386

What? Never mind.

0

4424.388 - 4442.514 Brian Cranston

All right. No, I want to know. By and large, I agree with the sort of, you know, other businesses are regulated argument. On the other hand, it's the sort of thing where where does it end? You know what I mean? I mean, what how how much intrusion is government? How deep how deep are they going to penetrate?

0

4442.534 - 4443.475 Greg Fitzsimmons

Slippery slope argument.

0

4443.455 - 4465.02 Brian Cranston

Yeah, a guy wants to watch some porn. Two people are coked up and want to do it. Everyone's getting paid tough shit. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. And look, I mean. She ran away. It's her fault. There are a lot of jobs that have inherent danger in them, and they try to make them safe. They do testing in porn. You're not going to win over any. No, here's the test.

0

4465.04 - 4478.122

Well, look, believe me, I hosted the porn awards twice. But the testing they do, there's one woman who has an agency. She's not even a doctor, and it's the only place they get tested. And the porn stars have to pay for it themselves.

Chapter 5: How do actors navigate the pressures of public perception?

4478.542 - 4489.919

So you're getting paid a grand, and you're spending $500 on the test for them, because what other job would you go to where you've got to pay for your own... Well, I guess health care. We all do that. Podcasting.

0

4489.939 - 4518.431 Brian Cranston

All right. I agree in principle. On the other hand, if jobs are just going to leave the state because people want to see porn that doesn't involve condoms, although, as I've said to Paul Bryan, the great pitcher Jim Abbott would have a move. If you do watch porn where there is condoms, that condom goes flying off at a certain point. Oh, yeah. Before the cookie gets dusted.

0

4518.771 - 4529.027

You know what I'm saying? The cream pie is illegal, but the bukkake shot, even with these new laws, is fine. You can take it off and do what God intended. Right. Make her go home on the bus disgraced.

0

4529.488 - 4538.963 Brian Cranston

Right, right, right. And there are a lot of guys who can do what Jim Abbott, the pitcher that used to have one arm, could do with the baseball mitt, which is have that condom off.

0

4539.123 - 4539.223

Yeah.

4539.203 - 4545.49 Brian Cranston

and have the jizz sailing in one motion, one sleek motion.

4545.51 - 4551.317

And a good porn star can get the condom under her eyes, catching the tears just after the bukkake shot.

4551.457 - 4555.262 Brian Cranston

And then snap her on the ass with it. Snap her on the ass with her own tears. I like it.

4559.186 - 4562.991 Josh Gardner

Here's a story about what to do if you're ever trapped in an avalanche.

Chapter 6: What makes a script interesting for actors like Bryan Cranston?

4575.625 - 4583.333 Brian Cranston

It's on the stub, then pow, it's right on there. And this is him in high school. By the time he got into pros, it's one smooth motion. Anyway.

0

4583.353 - 4585.175 Josh Gardner

He had the mitt on his penis so fast.

0

4585.195 - 4586.616 Brian Cranston

That's amazing. Mm-hmm.

0

4587.177 - 4588.679 Josh Gardner

Yeah, had a good pro career, right?

0

4588.699 - 4588.979 Brian Cranston

Yep.

4589.159 - 4589.379 Josh Gardner

Yeah.

4589.8 - 4592.122 Brian Cranston

All right. Throwing a hitter. Throwing a hitter. There you go.

4592.142 - 4595.746 Josh Gardner

So Weekend Avalanche claimed the lives of three skiers in Washington State.

4595.766 - 4600.834 Brian Cranston

Oh, wouldn't you hate to be Jim Abbott's kid? Like... Here's what I'm talking about.

Chapter 7: What insights does Bryan Cranston share about his interview experiences?

8284.056 - 8289.992 Brian Cranston

I've interviewed him. I wasn't as delighted by him. Oh, okay. I'm not a bad guy.

0

8290.013 - 8290.735 Greg Fitzsimmons

What about Albert?

0

8290.875 - 8312.502 Brian Cranston

Yeah, we actually, it was a little bit of a nice... A dream come true for me because I've always been a big fan. You know, I loved Lost in America and I love Defending Your Life. I always thought Defending Your Life was sort of an important movie that got kind of not really brushed aside, but it's a comedy, you know, but I thought it was more interesting than your basic comedy.

0

8313.083 - 8332.275 Brian Cranston

And I've always wanted to interview him, but he doesn't really do too many interviews and he doesn't come out to the valley. And we came to him. We brought the Mountain of Muhammad, and we went to his office over there off of Wilshire or Beverly or wherever it was and sat down with him for an hour and change and had a nice interview. And you never hear the guy interviewed for an hour plus.

0

8332.375 - 8359.564 Brian Cranston

It's just a little... You know, when you do those shows, you do the Tonight Show, you do any late night show, it's produced little sort of... I guess it'd be like... if you really wanted to see how a guy fucked, you'd have to mount a camera on top of the hamper. But if you put him in front of 3,000 people in bleachers or 300 people in bleachers... He's a hero. And he had an audience warm-up guy.

8360.245 - 8381.825 Brian Cranston

And a fluffer. Yeah. That wouldn't be indicative of how the guy screwed. That'd be him screwing for seven minutes while you were watching. But that wouldn't be every moment. Do you know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. And so... Well, here's what I'm getting at. You don't really get to anything on those shows. You throw out a plug or two for your movie. Right. You're funny.

8381.985 - 8384.487 Josh Gardner

You get to a couple of commercials for your personality.

8384.968 - 8399.582 Brian Cranston

Right. Yeah. There are little commercials for your personality. If you're funny, you know, if you get lucky, you'll stumble onto a little something spontaneous or whatever. Six and a half minutes. Brian Krantz and everybody. Thank you very much. And then you move on. But you never really get to the long form.

Chapter 8: How does Bryan Cranston reflect on the impact of Pixar films?

8399.562 - 8408.113 Greg Fitzsimmons

No, no. That's why this show, which is totally unproduced and unprepared for anything that may happen, is so refreshing.

0

8408.493 - 8418.766 Brian Cranston

Thank you, Brian. I mean that. John Carter, you just earned yourself a plug. John Carter in theaters this Friday, March 9th. You know what I just learned about John Carter?

0

8418.827 - 8429.4

Directed by the guy who directed Finding Nemo and WALL-E. I didn't think much of John Carter when I heard about him months ago, and I was like, oh, this guy who made these two awesome movies, I'm totally in now.

0

8429.38 - 8451.023 Brian Cranston

I have said many times if I was running a screenwriting class, I would tell them to watch those Pixar movies for storytelling. You see Nemo or any of those Pixar movies, the storytelling is incredible. You get kind of caught up in the animation and the VO and stuff, but the writing is so strong.

0

8451.104 - 8476.259 Brian Cranston

I mean, in Nemo, he gets captured and he goes into the tank and he has to escape the tank and all that stuff. It's really strong. Have you ever been... Up to Pixar? No, I've never been up there. Oh, my God. It's quite a campus up there. Oh, it's so unbelievable. It's unbelievable. It's like a blimp hangar filled with happy nerds playing like air hockey and eating.

8476.379 - 8499.513 Brian Cranston

And a lot of people are like, well, what's he doing here? Oh, this is day off. He's just hanging out. He's just hanging out. And I mean, it's like the big boss man wasn't there, but his second... Mr. Pixar. Mr. Pixar wasn't there, but they're like, you want to see his office? He's got a bunch of really cool trains in there. Like, well, if he's not here, he's not... Ah, we'll go in anyway.

8499.533 - 8506.182 Brian Cranston

And they just fling the door open and a bunch of people walking through his office and stuff, which would piss off most people.

8506.162 - 8530.178 Brian Cranston

bosses you know and then it was off to the writers rooms and all the writers rooms they each get their own corner that they get to decorate however they want like a speakeasy with a secret door in the back and like i mean one had a tropical jungle theme and all that kind of stuff and then and your food and people playing hockey you know air hockey and then they're doing stuff like

8530.85 - 8542.527 Brian Cranston

Well, we got Earth, Wind, and Fire playing at noon, if you want to stick around for that. That'd be on the putting green. And then there's that next to the water slide, not the big water slide, the smaller one for the handicapped people.
