Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, we have made it. We have made it. Every
day is Saturday. No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Today, feels special because it's Friday. That's right, and that's
really exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I have been listening to this podcast on the way
in called Disgraceland.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I'm obsessed. So basically four in this guy.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's not like you're true podcast form, I guess you
would say. Instead, he takes people, famous people, whether it's
a an artist, whether it's an actor, and he tells
the story of their life. So it's almost like you're
listening to somebody read a book to you or tell
(00:55):
you a story.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
It doesn't feel like it's not two people. It's just him.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Jake Brennan, Jake Brendan.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He writes, he writes all his own material.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I started listening to it because I had I was
listening to Daisy and the Sixth and then I was
listening to Fleetwood Mac and I'm like, let me get
this any podcasts about Stevie Nicks or Fleetwood Mac and
it And Google was like, oh, you should listen to
the Disgraceland podcast about Fleetwood Mac. That's how I started
getting into it. What I like about it is. There's
hundreds of episodes, so you can kind of pick and
(01:24):
choose who you listen to.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So I've gone through a bunch.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I started with Stevie Nicks. I've done Heath Ledger, I
did This Morning, Matthew Perry, I did Justin Bieber What.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Does it get?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Quick?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Quick?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
But then he has little mini ones that can be
fifteen or twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But his writing is so incredible. He takes on a journey.
It's really good. I found this podcast like I think
I was training for a marathon in twenty nineteen, and
so I've listened to the early ones. Yeah, now since
you started to check all these things out, I'm listening
to the updated ones. They are a lot better now too,
They've been better.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been trying to go back back
to because in his newest season, I saw there's a
Snoop one.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I want to listen to you. I saw there's Bob Dylan.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But it's interesting to hear it told to you that way,
because it's like hearing a story of their life. But
I was just telling Santi. I love Heath Ledger. I
think all girls loved Heath Ledger and Heath died at
twenty eight years old.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
The joker. You know, he went.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Method man, Yeah, he did. He went deep.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
And this story is it's resurfacing a little bit because
his dad put out some of the journals that he
would use while he was filming. And I learned in
the Disgrace Lamb podcast that in between takes he would
just sit there with that journal and just read it.
And Christian Bale said when they were actually filming sometimes
in the fight scenes he would actually fight him because
(02:51):
that is how tormented he was, and how much he
would get under Christian Bale's skin, like it was crazy,
it's wild. And when he died, there was this rumor
and I had always heard this rumor and it was
included in the Disgrace Laand podcast that at a bar
in La someone tells a story that when Jack Nicholson
(03:12):
had seen the headline, He's like, I called him and
I told him and I.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Warned him about about taking the role, how that.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Role can can torment you and can change you. And
he never really recovered from that. Him and Michelle Williams
broke up and he yeah, he it was bad.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It's interesting how some people could take a role like
that and like dive into it and just go full method.
But there's other people who can turn it off right
when the thing is over.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
It's incredible.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's so sad because he loved so much being away
from the spotlight, like living in they were in Brooklyn,
I think, and he liked being away from it. He
loved his little daughter Matilda and just wanted to be
a dad. And then he was being really specific about
what roles he picked because I've wanted to spend time
with her only to pass away at twenty.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Eight malt cocktail things and that man says.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
But the one thing that he was taking that they
didn't have a script for was oxy and this is
a fun factory form.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I didn't see this one coming.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
When the massage therapist got to Heath Ledger's house the
day he died, she was panicked and she didn't know
what to do because she knew the paparazzi was outside,
and she's like, should I call on I one? One?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Who should I call?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
So she picked up his phone and called the first
person on speed dial.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Guess who it was?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is a drug deal?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Nope, Mary Kate Olsen, you know the Olsen twits Mary
Kate Olsen. So now then it was like, okay, there,
it wasn't they were hooking up or anything, but why
is she on your speed dial?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well, at the time he was said to be renting
the apartment from her apartment, got it, But to be
number one on the speed dial, that's a whole different thing.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, so she goes, don't do anything. I'm gonna send
my security over. Don't touch them, don't anything. I'm sending
sick security. Now, she was in la at sign this
is in New York, in SOHO and it was taking
too long, and the massage was like, I think he's dead,
Like I have to call nine one one.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
So she ends up calling nine one one.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
The paramedics come, as is the security police show up,
and the like who is he? Then they link it
all back to Mary Kate Olsen. The one thing I
thought was so weird she said I'll talk, but I
want immunity. So that that leads me to believe she
gave him the pills or she gave him the.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Connect Yeah pretty much. Yeah, which is called the blog because.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That was the one that he had anxiety medication in there.
He had all different types of things but I guess
they were. They were able to trace it and have
scripts for it from doctors, but the oxy in there
they did not, isn't it not?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Its twenty eight years old. I think like some of
his films, like he would have been he was massive,
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
In the Oscar that year he had died. But before that,
Broke Broke Back Mountain was a good film. Like obviously
like it gets laughed at, but that movie was really
good in him and that was like such a turn in.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That came off actually in disgrace and Leo turned that down.
Brad Pitt turned that down, and Mark Wahlberg turned that
roll down and that was huge, he actually said he
leedged that is when he did The Night's Tale.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
He knew The Night Tale.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, but he's like, this is going to make us popular,
this is going to make us big.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
He knew.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Also going, oh my god, don't.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Even get me going.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
That's what I mean, Like we were all obsessed with
him the Patriot.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Yeah, but we all got to see a little bit
of what he could have done.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, Yeah, he lost a good one.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, went and lived in London for a month. In
a hotel room by himself to prep for the joker
didn't speak to a singular singular human, was only sleeping
two hours a night. Like he basically tormented his own
self to prepare, like stop doing method acting.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
No, I know, but it's scary. Like Daniel Day when
he he used to do it, Like when he did Lincoln,
you had to address him as mister President like on
the set, but he kept his terminology the entire way through,
which is crazy. Christian Bale's another famous one too, on
the side of the terminator when he flips out that
famous thing. He is British, but in that he was
(07:17):
still talking with an American accent because he was still
in his character.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Christian Wale said that for the one iconic role that
he did, he only uh, he was like a.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Hundred twenty pounds.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It was called the Machinists.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Machinists.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
He only smoked cigarettes, drank whiskey and one other thing
they ate.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Like an apple, ate an apple twenty six pounds. Yeah,
and then uh, it was probably like ninety days like
after that he had to start Batman, so he put
on something like I want to.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Say it's like they said it was like one hundred pounds,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But he's done with the weight thing because it's just
too much. It's too much on his bodying.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Tatum actually just came out so the same thing.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm not taking rolls if I got a game crazy,
if I got to get skidding it. No. I always
think back to By the way, there's probably like seven
of yews that care about this, But I love film things.
Charlie's then for the film The Monster bro she had
put on like one hundred some pounds.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
She had to get disgusting. Yeah, she was so good
in that, but she was so grotesque. Have you seen
that film The Monster? As she should? That was crazy
from what I.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Hear, Like, it's fun the first couple of weeks of
eating burgers, pizza all day long, but after that, like
you get sick of food.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I would bring up this one film that Tom Hanks
had to really like cut back food and get really
skinny for.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But I don't want to ruin the Friday because if
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I say the name of the film and then Forrene
starts to talk bad about it, well said
Wake up.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Yeah, we have made it. We have made it. Every
