Speaker 1 (00:10):
I heard podcasts, hear more kids podcasts, playlists and listen
live on the free I heard.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
At the Will and Woody podcast. Will. I think you're
very good at analyzing messages. So I'm going to use
that brain.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Of yours because we all know this bit of like
rumors going around that maybe Taylor Swift and Blake Lively
aren't mates anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I might be using the wrong terminology here.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm not across that.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Okay, is this the one of them shot a rom
com and had a thing with the director and that
that saga.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Kind of close.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
So Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were in like lawsuits and.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
He's the director, Baldoni.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And he acted in as well main Star, and I
think he directed it. I'm going to come out, so, yeah,
he directed it and he acted in he did.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
He did. That's inesting. I mean, he might be a dickhead, but.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
If you have you seen the film, he didn't Clint anyway,
whose film is it?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Is it one of those Colin NERVs?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, there you go, and the book is that much
matter in the movie? He just destroyed it. Anyway, to
stop reading that garbage. It's not garbage.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
They're brain darts. I'm telling you those books a brain darts,
A brain a brain.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
See, it's going to kill your brain reading that ship.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, but it makes me feel good anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So there's a lot of drama about Baldoni and Blake Lively, right,
and then the thing that came out of it is
that maybe Taylor Swift and Blake Lively weren't mates anymore
because Taylor Swift didn't really come out publicly and defend
Blake Lively.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
But they were friends previously.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
They're part of a squad, a squad, they call it
a squad of two. No, they call Taylor Swift's mates
her squad. And she she walks around everywhere with them.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So they would go to a football squad. Vanilla Ice
is in it or the.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Vanilla Rice the wrapper sorry Ice baby woman in Taylor
Swift squad.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
The woman got Ice, Spice, cousin of Vanilla Eyes Spice.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Surely not? Who is I Spice with my little Ice?
Who's that? I think?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
She's a singer?
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (02:19):
She's a singer, singer, rapper, singer rapper.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Singer, slash rapper. These days, just choose, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Predominantly rapper, but I gave her the singer title, which
just choose.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
That annoys me that she's a singer slash rapper.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
You gotta be a rapper.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Everyone's a slashy these days. Just choose.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
But you're a radio host, slash DJ. You on the weekend,
you're a slashy.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
True.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
That is true, But I don't put it on my
email signature, like I slice. Baby is going to have email.
It's going to have singer slash rapper on their thing.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
I don't reckon she emails that much. She's probably got
people anyway, So hang on. Just to recap very quickly.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Ryan Reynolds's wife.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, well everyone knows. I was just trying to get there.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
So Blake Lively is it was friends with Taylor Swift
in a squad tick, but not a crime fighting squad,
just a friend.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Squad for crime. But they don't only just rocks around it.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Cap, I'm gonna start tangenting Blake Lively squad Taylor Swift.
That to one side. Blake Lively then goes and does
a movie with a guy who sounds like he's a
mob villain in a Batman movie.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Justin Baldoni, not bad. And then she.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
They has something that goes wrong, not sure, not sure
what that was.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We won't get into it. It's in the call.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Taylor Swift didn't didn't rap her squad member and wasn't like, hey,
you're all.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Right, Yeah that's it. That's it.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Wow, And that has got a lot of media attention,
but really there's not much to it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
I'm so glad I don't read the news anyway.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Who fount that's okay? How that story?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
How is anything? Seriously?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But here we are talking about it anyway. Text messages
were leaked. Turns out there really wasn't bad blood between
them at all. I could go into it, but it's
super boring. This was just clickbait.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Blake was just like, I feel like I've been a
bad friend lately.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm such a sad sack talked about my own s
h I t for months and then Taylor wrote back,
I'm just exhausted.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Oh god, saucy, what a saucy thread this is?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And then you and yeah, there's been a lot of
this justin stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I've been through things like this before, and I know
how all consuming it is.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
The squad.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
WhatsApp must pop off If that's anything I was in
that Woody has left anyway.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
I think I think what I've learned from that is that,
I mean, I don't really know what's going on there.
I can't decipher females texts, but what I can do
is decipher male text message. Okay, thirty one oh six
five is our number. If you're a woman out there
(04:58):
and you are keen on a guy, and you're currently
talking to that guy and you're not sure if he's keen,
call us.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Tell us what he's been saying to you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, and will and I will let you know.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Are they keeen or are.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
They Maybe we got the inside run a couple of
men here who have sent some awful texts before we
know the male brand is a strange superpower.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Thirteen one and sixty five.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
If you're sitting on a text from a guy that
you'd like decoded, we've.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Got Maddie here. Now, Maddie to kick off. Let's just
get the specks here. Who's the guy and how'd you
meet him?
Speaker 6 (05:35):
Hey, guys, so what happened was way back in Christmas.
I restaged out a family friend he hadn't seen in
a while just to say like Merry Christmas and how
it's been too long we need to catch up. And
I sent it X in like a friendly sort of way, right,
and he replied straight after and was like, yeah, so
it's been way too long. We organized to catch up
and he sent an X back. And since then, like
my first theF that I sent was met with like
(05:57):
friendly intent, like nothing more. But since then he's been
repeatedly like sending exes at the end of his text
and we've been like trying to make plans and everything.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Sorry, Maddie, how many ex'es?
Speaker 6 (06:08):
I reckon? There's been at least like five or six
since then. I've only said that first one at the start.
But he's like kind of a yeah, gonna hang a hand.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So when you say, when you're saying five or six exes,
like he finishes his message with five x's, No, on five.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Different occasions one X. Yeah, he's send an X. But
then sometimes he'd throw with like a couple x's. I
don't know, kind of I feel like he's just being
a bit like overboard with them, whereas I send the
first differently sort of way, is he game?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Is he gay? No?
Speaker 6 (06:40):
No, do you know that? Oh, I mean, I'm nine essential.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Just because you know, I feel like the gays can
throw around the x's like a dead cat and nobody.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
Really cares him for years.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So, Maddie, when you say you've known him for years,
have you ever have you ever kissed?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
No, you've never kissed.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Okay, so you don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
And so but he's he's Maddie, he's trying to see
you as well. So these messages very where he leaves
these exit at the end, he's trying to organize cat
chaps with you as well.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Well, the thing is we've organized dinner for tomorrow night,
and so since I first message, as I said, there's
been a lot of exos and I'm trying to work
out like what those vibes are for the.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Night one on one dinner. Yeah, I look, I see.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I think that I think the nature of the X
has changed over time, Can I say it?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I think like back when, back when, when when you
and I were in.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
High school, if you were messaging a girl, it was
almost like you had to send an X because you're
messaging a girl like that. But I think as I've
got older, that's really changed with the kids. I think
the I probably only end the next now if I
feel very, very comfortable that it's a friendship. But I
mean I would send like ANALYSA or live an X
because it's like, well, it's clear that this is friendly,
but as soon as there's anything which is on the line,
(07:52):
there's no way to send next. So I'm like, oh,
either sound like a creep or she might be getting
the wrong idea.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
How old is this guy?
Speaker 6 (07:57):
Maddie is like mid twenties, so he's going to.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Be right across that. I reckon. That's kind of like,
that's kind of standard for the gen zs. I reckon,
am I come? I.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I don't want to speak for your generation out there,
but you guys are pretty spearing with the X.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Aren't you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I love a cheeky X. But I also I have
the same questions.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
I'm confused as Maddie because sometimes they can be just
a bit more than just friendly x's.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's what I'm saying though, Like you're not sending an X.
I'm like, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
You guys, you think he's keen based on yes, I do.
I think he's keen or gay? Okay, So Maddie, I
reckon you just sit down for dinner tomorrow? Are you
going to go to the dinner?
Speaker 8 (08:33):
Why?
Speaker 3 (08:33):
We can't rule that out, Like, he could be this
could be a dinner Maddie. How long have you known
him for again, Maddie.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
You know, since we were both about like five or six.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Or it could be like a coming out dinner. This
could be like let's catch up.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We'd love to see you insistent on that because he
really wants to bend your ear and be like, hey, look,
let it tell someone this.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I mean that's the way to start at Mattie. I'd say,
sit down. Are you going to go to dinner tomorrow night?
Speaker 8 (08:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Tomorrow night. I'm still trying to decide.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yes, Are you can on him?
Speaker 8 (08:59):
Maddie?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Are you on him? Are you keen on him?
Speaker 6 (09:03):
I'm not sure? Yeah, but he's hot.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Sounds like would you be devastated if he was if
somebody's if he's gay, will that be sad for you
to borrow night?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
I mean that's just like you said that for years.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
So like maybe he's like, no, it's sad because she
can't hook up with him. Obviously very happy for him.
Let it breathe You might do it.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We're not looking up tonight. That's a shame, but have.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
A great love. I don't think that's gaming. The wait
is cute. Are you prepared for that, Maddie?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
I mean, I'm still going to sign my outfit. That's
a nice job. But I was than that. We're all
pretty good. I think I think I'm mentally prepared.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Okay, good luck, good Maddie. Let let we might we
might touch.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Base with Yeah, I think we should touch one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Where are you at with it?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I think he's keen hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Wow? Yeah, okay, all right, well check him with Maddie
very very shortly.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I mean, a very happy night for you, Maddie.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
And energetic and good conversational, brand new bit foreign films.
I play an iconic movie scene in a different language.
It's really interesting what happens because obviously you're listening to
(10:17):
the background noise a little bit. Do you think you
know what the iconic scene is? When I play this
is the one we're currently trying to guess right at
the end there, I think you should be able to
pick it up now Will. This isn't fair for you
to guess because you speak twenty seven languages, so one
(10:40):
of them is when you speak French.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Fresh out of the un.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So so that's right, my friends, you and Penny Wong.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
Well, I know, Will, you can have tryna bucks. You
spent it.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Holy mother, that's a good guess. You're guessing your film
in a foreign language and.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Giving you a good at that will stay on the
line and you can take on Will for this next
movie here, I.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Was banned from that one. Will just say no.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
I did have it down though, and I had to
write that down. I've proven that showed the whole team.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
You speak French, so you weren't really playing.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
How I do it? Mate? I still do it?
Speaker 2 (11:59):

(12:57):

stuff world? Ie Shannon was iconic? Was iconic?
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Shannon?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Are either you or I a cool dad? Is what
we're asking on thirteen one and six five. Now, look,
we've decided that the best people to decide this and
probably the only people that really care about, are going
to be our future daughters. Yes, they're the people are
trying to be cool for. But they're both currently about
three years old.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
So I actually think we're cool at this stage because
we can do anything anything. I think we're cool any Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
That will change.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
So what we've organized for it was like to sort
of preface what our girls are going to be like
when they grow up. We'll ask for a daughter jury
to give us a call on thirteen one oh six
five if you are a daughter and you'd like to
be a part of the jury. And I think we're
a little bit of this, and that's the Laura and
Order theme into John Mayer's daughters.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
And I just I don't think audio gets any better
than that.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
It's champagne, it's genius. I hope everyone's appreciating that as
much as we are now.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yesterday we put me to the daughter jury as to
whether I was cool woods and look, I got it.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I might have squeezed it a bit, just scraped over
the line.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I think I have one earring.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
It could be cool.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I think the earring is saying it's just a cool
iron cool.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
I mean my brother has one earring as well.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And yeah for a dad, cool for a dad. I'm
brought bank.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Wow, you can't just jump in. You didn't necessarily answer
the question. That's just what you do, will, That's what
you do, not mean I'm more respectful, which is cool.
We've got Isabella here, who's called on thirteen one six
y five.
Speaker 2 (15:35):

Speaker 2 (15:52):
I definitely want my daughter to think I'm cool when
she's your age. So how's this?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I know will thought this was cool because he was
actually he was actually there when this happened.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But Willie Boy came.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Over to my house, Isabella, and at one point I
was just feeling a little bit peckish, and I was like,
I'm just gonna to cook a steak, just totally by itself,
just as cooked a steak, and then I brought that
steak over to the table while we're watching the cricket,
which is also pretty cool, and then just ate it
with my bare hands.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
That's It's just weird.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Weed.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
But I don't think is cool. I don't think dirty
is cool anymore.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But I look almost like a lion, is it?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Olivia? What do you think about that? Was that cool
to you?
Speaker 5 (16:34):
I think it's really gross?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Yeah, okay, Emelly, I you want to finish that up?
Reckon that's cool or not?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
It is very not cool.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
That is.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I just can't believe. I just think when I was,
just when I was your that was very cool. Leading
we'll go back to you, Isabella. I have written these down,
I did plan these. I thought that was going to
be an absolute zooter. Okay, Isabella. I know that your
generation is really caring about the environment, which is great,
(17:03):
and I'm here to tell you that I am very
much in touch with that in a cool way. So
I've been spending a lot of time with my comp
and very very recently, damn it, you're already laughing.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Very recently, I've.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Really nailed the brown to green waist ratio and it's
really creating a beautiful fertile soil that I can't wait
to put on the guardenias.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
That's a bit weird, but it's good.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Kidding me, Olivia, Olivia, are you world conscious? I've nailed
the ratio. It's very hard to do.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
It's all right.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
I mean it's a bit weird, but.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You're hearing it a crack.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
None of these things are weird. I've got to Amelia here, Amelia,
is that cool? I cannot I've nailed the ratio.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
If I have to be honest, it is a bit weird. Well,
I know you keep throwing these down, but honestly you've
got attach to its cool Dad with an arrow pointing
up to you.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
You no longer use anything wireless.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
You exclusively use cables because you don't trust wireless things, and.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
You just use the word absolute zuta. So I think
we can leave these.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Real quick because I wouldn't mind it, just like I
want you, right, Isabelle.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I've got a tattoo on my on my right ankle
that says cool dad with an arrow pointing up, just
to be clear that I am the cool dad.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Is that true?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Well, it's it's yes. I think it's a bit weird.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
What's not every day you get to say Matt Damon
and Ben Affleck are on the show. I mean for anyone,
these guys are huge for you and me in particular
as a duo with similar status.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Similar success.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Yep, it was particularly special for us. I would say, yeah, in.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
All seriousness, like, there's the two guys that were just
like I lived around the corner from each They've been
mates since they were like kids, and then they've just
gone on to well, firstly, made Goodwill Hunting, and they
had these amazing separate Hollywood careers and then are coming
together again the movies that they're making.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So for you and me, it's just you know that
we've worked together the Sweat mates.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
It's just like seeing what they've done is both inspirational
and also just super exciting to be able to sit
down with the two of them.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Now with all of that in mind, yeah, we were
important context. We were pretty nervous about the fact that
we're going to be sitting down with the two of them.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Super nervous. I was saying before.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
As lame as this is, they're one of the very
few interviews where I've leaned for in a zoom interview
and taking a photo of the screen.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
So it gave us an instant excuse me, boys, before
we start just going to take us the guys are
on the camera camera.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
The other thing is we're in a no offense, mate,
but we're in your crap back studio, so straight away
they're looking at us, going who are these chumps? They're
taking selfies with the screen. And then with all again,
with all of that in mind as well, you got
to know that we've only got seven minutes with these guys,
and stupidly, because.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
We were so nervous, we just we kick off.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
We've done a lot of interviews. Wood's done a lot
of interviews.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
As soon as we have an interview that we care about,
Oh god, straight, like every other awkward conversation, you go
to weather Chat.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
How are you guys, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
How are you guys doing?
Speaker 8 (20:28):
Where do you guys look like you're lounging out there
at summertime?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Yeah? Yeah, this is the studio at the back of
my house in Melbourne. Yeah, it's the weather's pretty good
here at the moment.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
It's not quite bar and Bay, but it's still a
pretty good Matt.
Speaker 8 (20:41):
Yeah, well, I mean we're we're in Manhattan, so it's
much better than that.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
Man. Hey, first of all, really cool setup.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
I know you had nothing to do with this, but
we've got a little Netflix code to access the movie
on our TVs, which my partner thought was very sexy,
which got me absolutely nowhere because she's also thirty nine
weeks pregnant.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
But if she wasn't, I'm pretty sure that would have
led to something. So that was I appreciate that everyone
that gets the second one second one.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
There you want?
Speaker 4 (21:07):
All right, so you've been through it before, Yeah, yeah, anyway, Yeah,
it's it's going to come in hot anyway. But I
want to indulge in your past because, like you guys,
we met at school, we did drama together, and your
story has probably fascinated everyone who's been in that position
of sort of being where you guys are now, which is,
you know, ever since Goodwill Hunting. It was like, holy shit,
(21:28):
these guys want an Oscar on their first film for
writing it. And I think there's been countless people who
have ever tried that and just looked at you guys
and been like wow, and look at them now.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
And the fact that we are interviewing you it's very
special to us.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
We've always sort of idolized you, and you know, you
kind of represent the fact that you know, you can
make it in the industry without being you know, super wealthy,
if you're actually just talented and you made it and
you're doing good things. So really cool to talk to
you about that. How important has your friendship to each
other been to where you are now?
Speaker 8 (22:00):
I mean, it's kind of fundamental to who I am.
Starting with I don't think I don't think I ever
would have. I never would have gone to New York
on my own as a teenager. That would have been
too overwhelming. You know, Ben had a kind of a
bravery about him, and just having him next to me,
(22:21):
like seriously, like like the I I mean, that was
a huge you know. We did things that other kids
kind of don't do, and I think we kind of
egged each other on because we both had the dream.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
We both took it really seriously.
Speaker 8 (22:35):
It's we loved it, It's what we wanted to do.
And then going through that phase of then getting you know,
into our early twenties and being broke together in LA
and living in shitty apartments and and you know, having
to pay the bills and and and struggling, but fighting
for each other, and you know, you know, it was
(22:55):
always like whoever's you know, I remember him getting a
TV show. It lasted seven episodes, but we were like
we're good. We got the rent covered for this, never
a doubt that, like he you know, if I had money,
I'd pay it, If he had money, he'd pay it.
And it was just you know, and then go moving
into the Goodwill hunting era where we became famous and
that's a real mind. And to have somebody go through
(23:18):
it also who you've known and have the exact same
frame of reference, you know, and the same sense of
humor and the same kind of world have this really
weird thing happened to them too, really kept my sanity
for you know. Yeah, So it's been a it's been
a constant source of goodness in my life.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
So I swear Ben Affleck is there. He stayed.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
He stayed, surprisedly didn't walk off at some point because
he just kind of note it along and butt atox As.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
So you guys can go and check out The Rip,
which is their latest film. It's out now on Netflix.
Hell of a lot of fun. The production company is
actually geared and we were saying to them just before,
it's so cool to see a production company. It's not
just super wealthy people or nipo babies making films like
these guys have cut their teeth from the base from
the start, and the film is actually structured. I learned
from one of our producers here in that the actors
(24:11):
got paid a bonus now based on how many people
actually end up watching the movie on Netflix, So there's
no like top ended contracts or anything.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
It's just if it does well, we all earn well
off it.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, the whole crew gets a bonus.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
It's really cool and obviously Pioneers socially is in Hollywood
as well as great writers and actors.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
So the movie is worth watching.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
But then also just like hit play on it and
leave the room, because then that'll still add to the number.
Speaker 4 (24:34):
They give the boys a dollar. I think they're short
of a dollar. The boys, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon
just hit play rama buck buck.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Anyway, here is the second half of our chat with
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. With every famous duo, and Ben,
you can answer this question. I feel there's always a
late one out of the two. So out of the
two of you, who would be late all the time?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
Mart? What did he pay you to ask that question?
I am busy of those dam I'm doing things. Can
always be there right on time when the meeting I
supposed to be there.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
You know what it's been helpful for me in my
into the last forty five years is it got me
a lot better at powder because I can bullshit because
the meeting can't start till we're both there, right, So
I'm I got much better at small talk.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
You know what that's really hard on that is Will.
Will's always light And in a Zoom meeting, the patter is.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Hard over zoom.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
It's tough, man, it's tough.
Speaker 8 (25:28):
It Well, Zoom brought a whole new level.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I really leveled up my my small talks.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
People on zoom will just start, so we'll just turn
the camera now.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
People got hips too.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
They mute themselves and turned the camera off.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I'm not kid of you, guys. Ben and I got
shipped to do. I mean, we're busy enough to not
make it on time.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
He's got a very you know, the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Do the dirty work heads.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
Dude, you just sitting having coffee and small talk on
zoom exactly.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Yeah, life, life must be nice for you having small
talk and coffee on a zoom.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
Hey, boys, So within the relationship, just some quick questions
for you then, who drives?
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Who runes? Shotgun?
Speaker 9 (26:06):
Now ours now exactly? And we did kind of end
up going on places together and usually taking one car,
which is pretty economical. Early on we only had to
have one car that ran. That was a question which
car would start?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Man?
Speaker 8 (26:18):
When we were taking all the writer meetings and for
goodwill hunting. I remember we we took Ben's. Ben had
a Ford Taurus. Yeah, it's old maroon Ford tourists and
it was more comfortable than my car, which was a
little accurate Integra which he could barely fit in.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
So we took the Taurus.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Uh so, and then that, yeah, Ben.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
DROs was automatic transmission, right, was really made a difference.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
You know.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
Yeah, the stick shift in La traffic was a nightmare.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
In the Rippers, well, boys, your your characters. By the way,
the movie's amazing. I just I love from the get
go you're trying to guess who's the crooked cop here,
like who's the dodgy one?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
You follow it right until the end. I absolutely loved it.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
But there's a bit of conflicts between you guys on
the screen and it gets to the point where you
guys have a bit of a physical wrestle.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I'm interested.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is that how you did ill with disagreements when you're filmmaking.
Speaker 8 (27:12):
No, we never held the Australian work. That's the Australian
just to punch up. Yeah, no, we don't do that.
We've never We've never gotten that pissed off at each other.
But you know, look, we got a lot of movies
to make ahead of us time.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It's been so nice to meet you guys. Thanks for
being such an icon and idol for all of us
who are sort of so keen to get to where
you are.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
It's awesome. You guys are so brilliant. It's so cool
to still see you making your own stuff on your
own terms. Now it's sick. Congrats, Thank you guys, really
appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (27:41):

he's got a sexy sadness thing mm hmmm. And he's fit.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Guys, like, don't you get all the sad ethleic photos
of him punching darts in stairwells like the rig out.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
They're both it. Actually, I was going to bring that up,
but we ran out of time. So so Matt Damon
is to the moment from the movie. Yeah, he's gonna

Speaker 3 (28:12):

Speaker 1 (29:34):
My god, can this man drumm? Listen closely? So Will
is going to be drumming a summember. He drums the melody,
not necessarily the drum bit of the song, which can
be confusing for people.
