Why are Bert and Jake upset about Apple TV’s release strategy for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed?
you know i held a grudge with uh john elway for like 10 years i didn't know that because bert would be crazy if i did right if i was like i did know that about the inner thoughts you had about a football player from when we were both younger i get a text yeah i get a text like
Shit, must have been six months ago from Tony Hernandez, one of my best friends in the world. Top five best friends that I have. He produces all my specials. He produces my TV show. He's produced everything I've ever done. And he writes, Jake Johnson, cool? And I write back, absolutely. And he goes, I think I would fucking love him. And I go, yes. And he goes, we're casting him for maximum pleasure overdrive.
What's it called?
Yeah, that's it. and uh and i said you're gonna love him can i tell you i'm only bummed at your character yeah like i wish you had gotten a different character yeah i i i was impressed as an actor because i'm an actor i've done a couple projects exactly two and they played myself in both i'm really impressed at how you can play unlikable Like, you're so likable. Like, that's real acting.
Well, honest to God, I don't get a chance to do a lot of real acting because, well, I don't. But I mean, but like, but certain part, a lot of times, because I don't audition. So I don't, I want to, I need to stay in LA. So I don't go auditioning and fighting for jobs where if there's a great part and all the actors in town want it, well, you got to jump through all the hoops. And my kind of thought is, I'm not going to end up saying yes and going to New Jersey for four months.
Yes.
So thank you. Do you care if I put some of this on the wood too?
Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want.
So I got to reverse engineer it and I got to wait. Either I got to develop it or something's got to come to me. And if something comes to you, they're only going to offer you something that they know you can do. So it's as if they forget that we're all actors. So they're like, oh, you would love this. It's about a guy who's similar to the characters you've ever played and you have to go like... I just heard someone say that, that they're like...
Who was it? And I was like, yeah, but you're so good at that. And they're like, yeah, but oh, Jimmy Tatro.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's great. He's so great. And he gets he gets offered.
Because there's not the imagine you're putting together a product and you go, we want this part. And they go, well, if we're going to gamble and see if you can do this as if we're not professional, is that the acting is what we do? So you go, yeah, you can play any type of role. But they go. For this product, because we know what it is, we're going to have Jimmy play that. We're going to have Jake play that. We're going to have Bert play that. And so if you're just waiting for those offers or developing yourself, and when I'm developing myself and I'm part of the project, I'm less excited about like my character is blank and I'm more what's the whole thing.
Yeah.
And so in those, I'll just throw myself in last minute as the character doing blank. And so this one, when it came, it was the first time I'm like, oh, Carl's such the bad guy.
Yeah. Great. Can I tell you, I really hate the executives at Apple TV. I absolutely hate them. I hate them. I hate them and I hope they have a horrible weekend. I hope they get invited to a party and they find out it's a costume party and they didn't dress up. I hope that they show up with a bottle of wine and find out that the person throwing the party is a recovering alcoholic and that it's awkward because that's how they make projects.
Tell me why.
They fucking let me down. They make... You guys made one of... One of the most bingeable, fucking awesome TV shows out there. Maximum Pleasure on Overdrive.
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.
Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. Incredible. In-fucking-credible. Incredible. Three episodes? That's all I get?
I know it.
Hey, Berk, can you wait until next Tuesday? I know it. I'm never going to watch. Do you know what? Let me, I'm going to, I'm going to, this is what an asshole I am.
