What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I've watched YouTube videos of him having lunch with people later in his life where he's just like, stop talking to me, you son of a bitch.
You're like, Ed Harris is 4'10". I can't tell.
Bobby De Niro's 3-11. Pesci's 2-5. Scorsese's 1-9.
Scorsese 1-9 with his good boots on. Levin starts going, I'm not being treated enough with respect that I deserve. And we're like, we agree. And he goes, it's right there on my title. I'm a guest of this show, and I'm the star.
Ha, ha, ha, ha. So Dana, Jake Johnson.
Jake Johnson.
Most people know him from New Girl. Then he's gone on to do a million things after that.
Got a new movie on Apple TV called Dink.
Is it The Dink or Dink?
I don't know, I'll be honest. What do you think about The Dink? I think it's called Dinky Dinky Doo.
I know it's definitely Apple TV and I know Fortune Feimster's in it. I say Feimster.
Everybody's in it. Incredible cast. Got Ben Stiller's behind it. He's in it. He's got the Ed Harris. who's doing comedy for the first time. He was a very affable, fun guy to have on our podcast. So I'd listen.
Yeah, he grilled us a little bit too.
He was curious about us. Like we're like exotic freaks from the past. So he was asked some big questions. So we got, we love that.
What are you, are you real?
Yeah, he leaned into David and said, how do you do whatever it is you do?
It's unexplainable.
It's unexplainable. I can't believe you do what you do. But anyway, it was fun.
Who is Jake Johnson and what is The Dink (movie) about?
We laughed a lot.
Here he is, Jake Johnson.
Maybe it's, is it here?
Oh, there are other people.
There we go. And then can you make it bigger?
Yep.
That's what she said. You can't set me up like that.
She has said that to me.
That's a hotel room? Who doesn't have a ladybug, what is that, headboard?
Random nice women who just help with stuff without being annoyed with me yet.
I know. I saw. I've stayed at that hotel, Jake, just to bore you to fucking death.
Yeah, this is you the last 10 minutes. Jake, do you need anything else? Are you ready?
Jake, do you have your sip of water?
We have the lemonade there that you got. Everything good? Yes. Everything good?
Are you ready for this? This one's going to be a bit of a grind. These guys are kind of, they don't have a lot to say.
I listen to your guys' show. I've been listening from the start. I'm a big fan of both you guys.
Good job. There we go. That's a good start. I was going to tell you that. It's a fact.
That's what we try to get out of every guest.
We get a compliment that we clip.
Thank you, Jake. That's our whole clip here.
So, Dana, do you remember a comic? This young man is too young. But Jake Johansson.
Jake Johansson, yeah.
He grew up with me in San Francisco. I keep thinking Jake Johansson when I hear this young man's name. But I know who he is. I know him. So I didn't want to mess that up. And I thought you would mess it up because you're from San Francisco.
You know you're old when you refer to someone, I think, in their 40s as this young man. I was about to say, I'm going to be 50 soon.
And I love hearing this young man. This young Turk coming on a podcast.
You know.
You know, I'm just, I'm finding it. I'm having a lot of fun, man. This is fucking ingenue.
Oh, I love this. Half a century is young.
I have not been described as a young man in so, and I was such a fuck up as a young man. So I gave it a second chance when you guys talked about it. This is a cute little dandy.
Thank you, Dana.
This comic says when he was about, 11 years old. He said, I would call Pete. He goes, I'm 50. And he goes, now I remember when I was 11, I'd, I'd fake call people and go, hello. And a guy goes, hello, I'm 50. And you have like a fake cane. I'm 50 years old. That's in his head. Molly.
Yeah. Yeah.
Mike Myers, middle-aged man.
Like I'm working on it.
And he was supposed to be 35 or something.
Speaking of, I just saw a photo of Brad Pitt, who's now, I guess, 62. And I'm like, that generation has changed decades. If that's 62, the 60s are different. When I was growing up, 60...
That was it.
You're in another galaxy at 60, man. Brad Pitt's running around smoking weed, looking great at 60.
