Chapter 1: What is Jason Momoa's background and new film?
Today's guest is an actor, a producer, an entrepreneur. He's a real do-it-all type brother. He has a new film out with Dave Bautista called The Wrecking Crew. Highly recommend it. Great action film. He's out the mud and the water. It's Aquaman. Today's guest is Mr. Jason Momoa.
Shine on me And I will shine
We'll be fine. We'll be fine. I'm here to do the greatest Theo Vaughn interview ever.
Actually, it could be it. I'm trying to think if we've had the greatest one. We had an Amish kid that was pretty great. Oh, wow. He's pure Amish too. He's like every now and then I'll sneak off to the creek and we hide a cell phone down there and we'll listen to a little bit of Def Leppard. That was one of the best things I ever heard. A little bit of pour some sugar on me? Yeah, yeah.
Fuck yeah, dude. And I don't even think they have sugar, which is the craziest part. So just down there listening to songs about illegal ingredients. Jason, thanks for hanging out, man. Thanks for having me, buddy. We met at the 50th, I think it was the 50th SNL. Yep. I just remember I was walking, and then this big, like, kind of, I would say semi-beautiful hand just grabbed me.
This thing that definitely, and immediately I felt like I hadn't been in the gym. That was, like, my immediate feeling. And then it just, like, pulled me into, like, this orbit. And it was like, hey, man, nice to see you here. And that was it, dude. It was awesome.
This is great to see you, man. Yeah, it made my day. You make people smile. You make me smile. So I'm like, when you see that, like, it was a bit of an overload there. It was a lot. And I feel like once you're talking, yeah, like when you're with Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro is on one thing. And then, you know, I freaked out when I saw Chevy Chase. Yeah. Like, this older lady's like...
Come here, darling. You're the Aquaman. I was like, yeah. And she's like, Chevy, get over here. Chevy, get over here. I'm like, oh, my gosh. This is Chevy Chase's wife. And then she's like, Bill, get over here. And I'm Sam. Who's Bill? Murray. Oh, God. Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. I'm sandwiched between them. And I'm just going like, this beautiful one brought this together.
Bill's like, who the fuck is this guy? And so was Chevy. And he's like, that's the Aquaman. Our grandchildren love him. Oh, yeah. But you just go like, there it is. Oh, that's cool. See, in my mind, I was sandwiched.

Chapter 2: How did Jason Momoa's college experience shape him?
She's like, what are you doing? Are you doing something with Satan?
Chapter 3: Why is protecting Hawaii important to Jason Momoa?
I know. She's like, you're on Baywatch Hawaii. I was like, mom, I'm like, it's, it's not what you think. It's like a whole different spin on it. They're in Hawaii. It's not. And she's like, what?
It's a whole different spin. They're in Hawaii. I know.
I mean, Hasselhoff wasn't really on it anymore, but they're trying to change it up. So anyways. Dang. And then I spent the, you know, the next 30 years digging myself out of that hole. Yeah. Cheers to that. And here we are now.
And so, so your mom is a white woman and your, your father is more Islander. My dad's Hawaiian. Yeah. My mom is basically German Irish. Is there a lot of beef between Hawaiians in Hawaii of like the, are there different kinds of sex of like S E C T S of Hawaiians, like different kinds of like, or is it, if you're a Hawaiian, you're Hawaiian?
I mean, that's a good question. I wouldn't say it's like sex. Definitely, you know, back in the day, there was different islands with different kings until it was united by Kamehameha. But not everyone loved Kamehameha. You could have been with Kahikili. You could have been with different islands. And obviously, to unite them, your family could have been murdered.
So I don't think everyone sees eye to eye. But having said that, like, we are... you know, since we are a part of America now, like I think all those generations, you know, our, our culture and our language was completely removed from us, like most indigenous races and, uh, you know, really trying to get it back. And I don't necessarily think there's like sex to it. Right. Yeah.
It was not like, so people aren't like that tribal. I mean, the trouble would be in Hawaii.
I'll tell you what, not as much as like if you were to compare it to New Zealand where there's, I don't, don't quote me, but there's 200 plus different iwis, different tribes in Marais.
Oh yeah, I met some iwis over there.

Chapter 4: What role does rock climbing play in Jason Momoa's life?
It's the, the action is really great. I loved it. I mean, it's just, it's a nice, easy, it's an easy movie to watch and it's just super enjoyable and it's a beautifully shot. It's just like, and it's just in Hawaii. Just like, Oh, if you can't afford to take your wife to Hawaii. Take her to see this movie. That's the best pitch. It's not bad.
She spent too much money this weekend. Can't quite take her on vacation. The wrecking crew. You're welcome.
Look, Jason. Oh, thanks, bro. Just put a little cocoa butter on her arms and take her to see the wrecking crew. It's this tell her it's the same thing. Okay. You got to tell her it's the same thing, man. Was there ever a movie role where you liked it kind of so much or the environment that you were at you liked so much that you're like, I wish I could stay here. I wish this was my life kind of.
That's an interesting question. Where you just want to stay in that time period or in that place.
Yeah.
Or even as that person even. I don't think I've... You know, I did this show, Chief of War, that came out last year, and I think it was really cool because it's all about... It's on Apple TV? It's all about Hawaii, yeah. It's like when they're uniting the kingdoms.
It would have been really beautiful to be in Hawaii before the white man arrived and just kind of see that time and place and see what our people are like, our ancestors. It was so special to make that show because you grow up In Iowa, and you watch like Last of the Mohicans and Braveheart, and you see all these things like, oh, I would love to see my culture.
I love samurai movies or Native American movies, and all we had was paintings. My grandparents, they've never seen a movie with us wearing all the regalia and going into the big battles with no metal. So it's just brutal battles. The UFC. To the next level. Yeah, before they had it. Fucking shark teeth, dude. Yeah, like you're ripping each other apart.
Just imagining that or seeing a movie on that scale. It took me a long time to make that show because, you know.
