What if there were a medicine that could heal almost anything? That would be great. But they didn't want you to know about it. Sorry, who's they? Some people are following me and I brought my tortoise.
From executive producers Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and co-creators Joe Bennett and Steve Healy comes an animated comedy thriller about what it takes to change the world. Common Side Effects. Series premieres with back-to-back episodes February 2nd at 11.30pm on Adult Swim. Next day on Max.
Peter Berg, welcome to the show.
Pleasure, man. Thank you.
Man, I can't even believe you're sitting here. I've watched so many of your movies and series, and to have you sitting here is pretty surreal.
Well, I feel the same way. I've watched a lot of your shows, and I figure it's good for you to expand your reach and get a director to come on here because, you know, I think I asked you if you'd had any other directors, and you said not yet. So I'm glad to be here. I'm a big fan of yours, and good job, man.
Man, thank you. Thank you. I am curious. I have to know this. How the hell did—like, you've got to be a super busy guy, and with who you appear to be surrounded by, I mean, how did this pop up on your radar?
I was trying to think about when I first came to know of you. You know, I know a lot of SEALs, and it might have been— Marcus or Morgan Latrell that somehow got you on my radar. And a couple of other guys that are living in California that I know, but just your name came up. You know, I'm always interested in anything a SEAL is doing, particularly an ex-SEAL.
I know how challenging it can be for so many team guys to kind of figure out the next chapter of their life. And we get a lot of guys in L.A. who are trying to figure it out and kind of trying to get into writing or directing or stunts. And I pay attention to that, try and help. And I heard about you and how you had kind of found this whole new career for yourself.
