When I made Stand By Me, and my father, I told you he's British, went, um, don't tell anyone you were in a movie. This film will never be released.
I mean, I had such a good speech, but I need a... Give it to us. Come on. Give us a little bit. I think the first thing I was going to say was... Who do you think it was? Who else is ever going to walk through that door? It's not like the old Dean Martin show where they were surprised when it was, oh, look, it's Ella Fitzgerald. Do you remember the old Dean Martin show?
Vaguely, I mean, a little bit. He only came in one day a week. You know, he didn't know zero rehearsal. So everything was a surprise. Yeah. So he would go into this one segment of the show where he was a piano player and then a door... There was a door, and he didn't know who it was, and it was always everywhere. Look, it's Sammy Davis. Oh, right, right, right. Oh, and he would be surprised. Yes.
Yeah, that's cool. The whole show was a surprise to him. The algorithm gives me a big clip of him singing with this really talented, I think, Brazilian singer doing like a... What do you mean the algorithm gives you? The algorithm, Instagram, like when I'm scrolling. I spend a lot of time on Instagram. Bill, I have a goal on this show. What's that?

Chapter 2: What advice did Rob Reiner give Jerry O'Connell?
Here, cheers. Oh, let me try some of your sweetener, actually. Yeah. Shake it? It's not going to give me like... Not more than twice or you're playing with it. But yeah, I mean, yeah, I think you'll... This is not like my favorite flavor and it looks like it's been here for a long time. I have to talk to the staff about things like that. Cheers, Bill. Here's to you.
I'm one of the only guests on your show that has actually acted with you. We're thespians. Oh, you're talking about Tomcats? Tom Katz, 2000, the year. Let's tell everyone, it's a film called Tom Katz. Young men will know what we're talking about. Young men under the age of 30 around there. Yeah, why did I do that? It was one day of work for me. And you made a lot of money. Maybe that was it.
And they flew you privately. Oh, for sure. I know because you said, when did you get in? We were shooting in Vegas. And I said, oh, I got in yesterday. And you said, oh, did they send you the jet? And I went, if they sent me the jet, you mean Spirit Airlines. Well, because I was doing politically incorrect.
I had to like, I shot all day long getting up at the crack of dawn and had to be back in L.A., and do your night show, yeah. Politically incorrect. Bill, I want to say you were a great acting partner. You had a lot of dialogue. You probably don't even remember it. You were so great with all your lines. I remember. Are you kidding? Are you? I'm being dead serious. Oh, yeah, yeah.
No, I could do that level of acting back when I was, I mean, it's funny because the 80s, most of my income was from, I did silly movies. Sure. Some of the posters are around here. Bill, I thought for many years you were the guy in Body Double. Yes, I wasn't. I know a lot of people thought that, though, right? Yes, I was the guy in DC Cab.
I was the guy in a bunch of sitcoms and Murder, She Wrote and things like that. But then in the 90s, I got what I really should have always been doing, which was the the political talk show, for some reason in the year 2000, they offered me this thing and I was like, oh, maybe I'll get back on the horse, see what that's like. Maybe it'll be fun. I don't know.
It couldn't have been fun because like I had to like get up at the crack of dawn. So I flew in the night before in Vegas. And so that was rushed and I had to fly right back after. So it wasn't like, oh, I'm going to get a fun weekend in Vegas. There was none of that. I remember I played the bad guy. You were the... You played the casino boss and I owed money to you. Right. Exactly.
And I was... Why they chose me as like the scariest guy in the world. But I feel like I pulled that off pretty well. You really did. Not like I was personally going to beat the shit out of you, but as a guy who could control henchmen. Yeah. Who would be my henchmen.
and act as henchmen do you were uh i'm a very big advocate for henchmen by the way i talked about this once with mark cuban who probably has thousands of henchmen with his money but uh henchmen i feel are always like uh shot in movies and nobody ever feels for them I mean, it's just a job to them. They're humans, too.

Chapter 3: How does Jerry O'Connell reflect on his marriage to Rebecca Romijn?
Exactly. Fucking nipple babies. Un-fucking-real. That said... And I said, I hope your father does not live a long life. Stop, stop. Oh, God, I was just thinking of Dick Van Dyke. His granddaughter was my kid's teacher in... You did say Van Dyke and not Van... Barry Van Dyke, yes, he was Dick's son. So many Vans. But I thought I was funnier, but, you know.
Michael Rotenberg, my manager, we were talking about managers, is a little inside baseball, but we all have managers in this business. He said to me, you're going to end up where you're supposed to be. And that really, like, that affected me as well. And how would you define where you're supposed to be? So if that's true, you fill in that blank for me. Because I feel like you do a lot of things.
Yes. So that's what... You'll take anything. No, no, no, no, no, it's okay. It's funny to say that. Hey, I just did the Hollywood Squares, so I have nothing I cannot even. I was hoping to get that offer. They didn't get it. Even to one of the fucking Van Dykes. Oh, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, but you know what? The next day, you get back on the horse.
I hope that the younger generations have that in them. I don't know. They seem so full of anxiety, and they're so oversensitive about everything. And we were just talking about how many of my work, how many live at home now. The statistics are very different. 8% in 1970, like under 34, lived at home, and now it's like 34%. And some of that's economic, and some of it is just, I don't know.
I mean, if I worked for Mayor Mondami, I would tell you that's affordability right there. I hope you don't. Please. Let's give him a chance. Come on, Bill. I'm a born and raised New Yorker. Let's, like, see what he can do, you know? Absolutely. Let's see what he can do. But we already know what he is because it's in his own statements and the people he hires. I talked about him.
You say you watch it. You must have seen this, the first show. I was talking about this woman who is his... I saw, yeah. Herb, like the head of, but his big issue is the rent. You know, he's the rent is too damn high guy. And that's a good issue. And he's, affordability is a great issue. And, but, you know, I said, how do I know he's a communist?
Well, I'm reading between the lines when he hired someone who says, word for word, let's elect more communists. Okay, if you say... This is not like something you have to really figure out. Elect more communists. That's a communist. Now, if Barack Obama or any reasonable Democrat had anybody on their staff who had that on their resume, it would be like a huge scandal.
But this guy, this is just where we are. Like communism, I said it. It's a political philosophy. It's an economic philosophy. You're allowed to believe it. You're allowed to vote for it. Let's just not pretend that that's not what this is. I understand. And take another hit while I say this. I want to smell a little more, please. Just a little bit more, please. Okay.
I think it's different running for president of the United States and running for not even New York, a major city. Communism is communism. But if you think... Let me put it this way. If... Rick Caruso can't win in Los Angeles, okay? And he can't because it's- He can't. No. He can't get enough votes. He can't. He cannot. If Rick Caruso can't, if the guy who owns the- Do you like him, Rick Caruso?

Chapter 4: What insights does Jerry share about parenting in Calabasas?
In 2020- You were getting on stage at Rogan and stuff? Did you do that move? No, no. Slow down. Not Austin. I would not move to Texas. In 2020, there was a week when we had the fire so bad that it blocked out the sun for a week. I remember. There was no sun. I was like, you know what? I pay 13% state tax. You know what I pay that for? The sun. I mean, today is February, whatever. Beautiful day.
Gorgeous day. I look up in the sky and it goes, that's what I pay my 13% for. That's what I'm... 13% for the sun. If you actually presented that with me, I would, yeah, okay. I will pay 13% for the sun. So when it wasn't here, I looked at places virtually, but I mean, this was during the pandemic, wink, wink. Old Zillow? Not that it wasn't a pandemic, it was. Let me guess, I wanna guess. Miami.
Oh, whoa. Wouldn't have guessed that. Well, I'm not gonna go to someplace cold. Yeah. I'm not gonna leave the United States. I could see you in Miami. I could see Miami. I could see you. You ever do an episode of Miami Vice? Are you one of those guest stars? No, you know, the famous... By the way, that's on the algorithm.
All the famous people that did Miami Vice, Bruce Willis, Gloria Estefan, like... Well, you know, after Tom Katz, I did get typecast as a... Don't you ever speak ill of Tom Katz ever again. That is a fucking classic right now. That's what I meant to say. It's a classic. I stay in California not only for the weather. I stay here for the politics. I like the politics of California.
I like some of them. It's in alignment with me. I like it better than Oklahoma. I think I like to live in a state where there's gun control. I think there are less guns on the streets and guns scare me.
um i think yeah i mean there's still a lot of people with guns and if someone breaks into your house it'd be great if you had one i don't have a gun in my house yeah first of all i have teenagers and also i told you my wife is always hitting off that vape i don't want her like well you know you can lock it up the gun i don't trust that i know the fingerprint stuff come on they're gonna figure out a way to who's gonna figure out i don't know the kids the wife
Yeah, I think guns... Look, I'm a believer that guns, like... Kill? Kill. Yeah, well, they do. And if they're in your house, that increases your potential for someone... You talk about California. The reason why people have big problems with California and why one-party rule is not a great idea, you do need both parties to keep each other honest, is that we have crazy laws in California like...
if you shoot somebody breaking into your house, it might be you who goes to jail. I understand that. Shit like that. I understand that. Is what makes people fed up with this state. I get it. And then we look up and there's the sun and we go, okay, I'll put up with that too. I get it.
I'll put up with the overtaxation, the overregulation, the potholes, the homeless, this bullshit, that bullshit, because the sun is up in the sky and you just cannot switch that out. I get it. I get it. But that said, getting back to my point, I'm never leaving. Growing up in New York in the 70s and 80s, I've seen this urban, I've seen urban decay.
