Joel McHale joins Bobby to talk about whether the long-awaited Community movie is actually happening, his funniest celebrity friend, and the unusual path that took him to TV. Plus, Bobby and Eddie get into a ranking of TV stars as they debate who belongs at the top, who is the most likeable, and which names are impossible to leave off the list. It’s a fun mix of behind-the-scenes stories, TV talk, and the kind of arguments that only get stronger once the rankings start. Joel also shares some of the stories and moments that have made his career such an unexpected one. And as the TV star debate heats up, Bobby and Eddie try to make their case for who really deserves a spot near the top.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hey, welcome to the Bobby Cast. Now we do have
Joel McHale coming up. Love Joel McHale. I think Joel
McHale is one of the friendliest seeming guys in television
or movies. And so I have Eddie here and I
just gave him the challenge of who do you think
are the nicest guys? We don't know them? Yes, we
can't know them. It's tough because we know a couple,
(00:28):
but we can't pick anybody we know.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Like even if we've spent time with them, but really
don't know them like they've been around. I kind of
know their personality, but we don't know them personally.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Think it has to be just people that we see
on screen and that we feel are super awesome just
from the characters they play. Are the interviews they do?
Got it? If we're betting money on them being awesome people,
that's who we bet on. Okay, So I'm gonna remove
And this came up because of that because I love
Joel McHale, didn't know him in that interview with him
is coming up. He's freaking awesome. He's awesome. That's cool.
(00:58):
Another one that I'm going to eliminate is Michael straight hand,
because I think I would have picked him because he
seems so fun I have been on GMA a couple
of times, have interviewed him on this. I would have
put him on, but I have a one percent relationship
with him. But I'm taking him off. But he would
have been there. He seems like a really nice guy.
I love Michael Strahan, can't get enough. Yeah, okay, so
(01:19):
we'll go back and forth. I'll let you go first,
and you're the guests, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
My first one that since Saturday Night Saturday Night Live,
I've loved Jimmy Fallon. I feel like he is just genuine.
He is who you get who he is just by
seeing everything he does on TV. He's so funny and
the fact that he can make fun of himself and
how much he laughs at himself.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think it'd be just great to hang out with him.
Dude stories we read about them factor in Yes, Okay, yeah,
I agree with you. What I know that there's been
a few things, nothing nothing bad, nothing cancelable, right, I
just wonder, but personality traits to me, what's crazy about
Jimmy fall is how great of a singer he also is.
(02:02):
Because you don't know him as a singer, but then
when he actually does try to sing, not just on
a show, but he'll go and sing with people at concerts.
He's awesome even when he does, like Mick Jagger, he
sounds so good. There have been stories about him, and
I don't want to put him on blast, but like
(02:23):
if he drinks a lot, like okay, that's even more
a reason why I like to hang out with him, right,
And I don't even know that they're true, but you know,
he'd read stories about Jimmy Fallon at times when he's
not working, he gets out of control at this place.
But that may also make you like him more, That's
what I'm saying. Am I crazy to think that those
have been real stories?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay? So, but also to run that schedule and like
that man, he's busy. Okay, I like it. He wasn't
on mine, but I like it. I love Jimmy Fallon.
I cheated. I put somebody on my list who I
kind of know, and it's unfair who is it. I'm
gonna say who it is, it doesn't count. But I
just really like Kelly Clarkson. Oh yeah, you know her.
I know she knows you by name. She's awesome. I
(03:05):
don't I take her off my list. I did put
her on before I made the rules. We could have
never talked to them. I have a couple. I was
on her talk show. That wasn't that big of a deal.
We've spoken before. I start her an airport once and
she came up to me and she was like bo
and she lived in Nashville for a long She's awesome.
I'm gonna pull her off the list. Can't do it. Okay,
she is so likable that she's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Man Like if you know nothing about her and you
just watch her like, that's another one who you feel
like you watch and you're like you're really seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Who they are. Okay, for you? Do you don't know
Kelly Clarkson? Do you love Kelly Clarkson? Who love Kelly?
You should love Kelly Clarkson because she's so she can't
be on my list, but consider her for next time
we do this. That's good. Kelly Clarkson is amazing. Okay,
I'm gonna put Paul Rudd. That's a good one. I
feel like he's my best friend. I feel like he
(03:53):
was my best friend on Friends back in the day.
Because Paul Rudd married Phoebe. They were together on the show.
On the show and so and then that's why you
called her Phoebe and not Lizikudro. I did a movie
Lisa Cudro once. Yeah, if I can say something about her,
I sat next door in a makeup chair in the
movie was called Band Slam. I had nine lines. Great movie,
(04:14):
by the way, you know, underrated movie. I remember when
I want teenage kids. It's clean, it's pretty good. Yes,
Paul Rud married her right on the show, and then
obviously he's done everything else. If that dude is a
bad dude, I don't want to live. Then I'm the
most wrong judge of character in the history of judges
of character. I think Paul Rudd seems like the greatest,
(04:37):
most fun, normal, self deprecating, also actually knows he's pretty good.
At the same time, so when he says that it
doesn't rub you the wrong way. Yeah, you're so right
about that. I'm going Paul, wait, think about that, Mike,
Paul Rudd. I love Paul, and don't you think too.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Like when these actors have certain roles like Paul Rud's
never a bad bad dude unless I've missed a movie
where he plays a really bad dude.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
He's always a likable I too. In his movies. I
think the roles they played reflect who they are. Well, no,
I would say affects what we think, because I think
there are probably bad dudes that play good people and
good people that play bad guy.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But I mean, Paul Rud even plays a criminal in
ant Man and he's still a good guy.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I never watch ant Man. I couldn't get into it.
He is ant Man, right, Yeah, I know, I couldn't
believe it. I can believe all the other ones. Wolf Rain,
I believe it, but man, I believe it. But I'm
raising a man. I'm just like that can never happen.
It makes no sense. My number one is Paul Rudd,
(05:36):
back to you, that's good. My number two is Ryan Goslin.
Ryan Goslin never met the guy. And there is again
to my point where you watch every Ryan Gosling movie
and you just want to be his friend because he
just seems and it's not fair. He's so good looking.
It's not fair. That's a half point off for me
that that I'm jealous of how good he.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Looks, because these are such a good looking dude. But
he's such a likable character in all of his movies
that I gravitate towards Ryan Goslin. If there's a movie
coming out and Ryan Goslin's in it, I want to
see it, mostly because I just want to see Ryan Goslin.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I just think you have a crush on Ryan
Gosling anything else. But what I would say in Ryan
Gosling at not if his defense, and more of what
you're saying is when he does things like Saturday Night Live,
like they know how talented he is, and the fact
that they enjoy and he's on so many times, and
that they break and they crack a lot with him,
it means they like him, yes, And if there are
(06:32):
people that genuinely like somebody, you can always tell. So
if people I like like somebody, I like them. I
think the SNL stuff does more for me for liking
him as a person than the movies do. Although I
do like him as an actor a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I think he's one of the greatest actors ever, because
like weird, weird to say that, there really aren't a
lot of I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Think you're in love with him. I can't and I
get it. He's a really good looking you know that law.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
We've talked a lot about movies, but you know how
we've talked about our top five Forever Forrest Gump, Shotshak Reneption,
the you know the same once.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I think Lala Land has moved up to my top five.
Wland is so good. I did not expect it to
be good. I know it's awesome. Who's in it? Well, yeah,
Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Yep, yeah, I haven't seen the
Please please allow me to respectfully comment on your Ryan Gosling. Please.
(07:25):
I think you just like him as an actor. I do,
but that also means that I kind of like him
as a person. I'll let you have it. I'm not
going to ask it. It's like Tom Hanks, It's like
I need to see these people in interviews. I need
to see these people. Have you seen Ryan Goslin interviews?
I saw him do a promo for Project Hill Mary.
Was he funny? And they had him throw a football? Oh?
Not that? So you're like, I'm not hanging out with this. No,
(07:48):
it's not that. It's that he is on camera A
dude's dude good looking gets the chicks. Is also lovable,
The Notebook awesome. He grew up basically a theater kid. Sure,
he's on Star Search. She was in Mickey mouse Club
Star Search, right, yeah, Mickey mouse Club singing. So he
didn't play a lot of sports. He didn't need to,
so good. Never really learned to throw a ball. Yeah,
(08:12):
someone and his team should have said, instead of doing this,
Hail Mary throw for Project Hill Mary, let's not throw
a ball because it looked like if I were throwing
it with my off hand. Yeah, yeah, which would be
your right hand.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I kind of liked that about him. He's not perfect,
so I think I think it up and all the point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, Ryan Gosling's good. That's a good one. Okay, So
your two are who's so far? I have Jimmy Fallon
and Ryan Gosling. I have like eight. I'm gonna go
Kristen Bell. Really she seems fun. She seems funny. Yeah,
(08:49):
she's wildly talented obviously, because and not even just for
like the movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, she sings and
Frozen she does. Have you ever just seen her sing? No,
so talent wise a plus all in. But she married
to Dax there together she does the commercials. To me,
Kristen Bell seems like that cuttingly funny friend who doesn't
(09:14):
have to dominate the conversation. But man, when you go
to her, she knocks it out of the park. Fair.
I feel like Kristen Bell is so likable. I don't
think i've ever met her. Do you like Dax Shepard? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean I don't not like him. I respect him.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, see, I'm not a fan of his. Uh So
then I'm always thinking like, Okay, well she's married to him,
So does that mean that she's not.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh, I think it means she's even cooler because he's
like a normal dude. Yeah. Yeah, Like he's like a
dude who has his freaking demons from what Michigan grew
up did his whole came to La was unpunked and
came up that way rights the Grinds podcast, smart guy,
intellectual guy. I feel like her being with him makes
(09:59):
me like her even more interesting because I feel like
I'm not as like cool guy motorcycle as Dax, but
I feel some similarities with us. With we came up
in a way that was very different than a lot
of people come up that make it in these areas. Okay,
So I think I like Christy about Moore because she's
ready dack, shephard, I'm about you ask that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I never thought about that because if you know the
person's spouse, it's kind of like a good indicator of like,
all right, what's the spouse, Like do I like that spouse.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Or do they have to be a certain way to
put up with the spouse? Correct? Like I think you
would like my wife more if you knew how hard
I was to deal with at times, like how you're
not telling me that, right, No, I'm just saying it,
just like how neurotic I am. How and my wife
is the funniest person I have ever met. But also
she has to deal with this and she deals with it.
(10:49):
And no one has ever been the boss over me,
like especially in my personal life, I have a boss
over me, and it's crazy. But Kristin bell is mom,
have Paul Rudd and Kristin bell Man. Those are good.
Those are really good.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Hank Tight, the Bobby Cast will be right back and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
All right, give me your So the last one's hard
just because it's the last spot. And I have so
pick one and then I'll pick one and then we
can do our honorable mentions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna go with And I didn't
technically meet this guy you met him. I was there
watching you meet him, and I was jealous that I
didn't get to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's Jim Nance. Oh yeah, he's awesome and mostly explain
who he is in case people don't know sports Jim Nance.
He is the voice of CBS Sports. He's the he
does the Masters. He talks very softly, NFL with NFL
with Tony Romo, that's his partner in crime Final four
two right, yes, at least for at least for he
I think you were talking from that now.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Very very recognizable voice. I love his voice. The voice
is great.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But I feel like he is He plays golf, he
loves sports, and I feel like he would have so
many stories, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Just and from watching this is based on you meeting him,
watching the interaction between you two, he seemed like a
very likable guy.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, Jim NANTZ. Just first of all, I was in
all the first time I met him, because I'm not
cool enough to no know him. I do have a
cell phone, Remember, what you do. Yeah, but I never
once texted it not, so you have it? Is it?
What's it under Jim? It has to be. It has
to be just under Jim Nance or like voice. God,
you can't do that. Man. If somebody steals your phone
(12:46):
and they see Jim Nance, they're not gonna ge. They're
not gonna get my code. Okay, yeah, look wow it
says Jim Nance. I'm not gonna text him now because
as we're recording this, the Masters is happening. Yes, he's busy.
So the greatest Jim Nance story The first time I
met Jim Nance, we were I was playing Pebble Beach
prom you were with me. He came as my caddy.
He ended up playing with me because just like can
(13:07):
Eddie please play? And they were like yeah, and I
appreciate that. Yeah, and so but we met. I met Jim,
you were with me, and I was like, Jim Nance, well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well before that happened, do you remember we heard him first,
like there were so many people and you can just
hear voices, and then you heard, oh that's funny. I
was there one day and.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That chicken was delightful, and then we didn't hear that
other like, is that Jim Nance And he walks up
and he wasn't with but he knew Charles Kelly, the
lead singer of Lady A, who we were talking to, yes,
And so we're all just standing there talking and it's
like Jim Nance and Charles Kelly and me and you
and I'm not saying much and you're saying nothing because
we both feel like we're somewhere we shouldn't be anyway.
(13:46):
And Jim Nant's super cool. He says, hey, I live
in Nashville part of the year or two, and that
I'm just him finding something in common, right, which is
a nice thing that people do. And so I go
out and I'm playing in the par three for those
that are watching. Every once in a while, somebody considers
me a celebrity every great once in a while, and
this was one of those instances. And so I was
(14:08):
doing the celebrity part three the day before the pro
am tournament and jim Nantz was calling it, and so
I'm up and everybody's around and dude, and I'm not
a good golfer. I nail it. I win my group.
Jim Nantz is calling it. And so then afterward I
was talking with jim Nantz and he was like cool, cool,
and he's like, I'll be in Nashville and he gives
(14:29):
me a cell phone number. I'm never gonna call him, right,
So all good. We're doing a bit you and I
are about how jim Nance was not allowed him to
a certain country club in Nashville, and I said, these
people aren't allowing jim Nantz in this country club. They're
making him get on a wait list. That's like the
YMCA not letting Kobe Bryant hop in a pickup game.
Like what are you thinking? This is the guy. He
(14:52):
heard that and texted me. He's like, that's the funniest
thing ever heard. So we becoind of, like you know,
semi kind of friends. You're right, that's a good pick
because jim Nance to me, even when we didn't kind
of know him, he was he's been awesome. Well that
makes me feel better about my pick. I love jim Nantz, man,
I just I'm too scared to message him.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, I wonder like when someone gives you their number,
like are they expecting a text?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Are they expecting If they're expecting it from me, they
ain't gonna get it. Because I also have Mark Grace's
cell phone number?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Have you?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Mark Grace is my favorite baseball player growing up, the
one that it was like my idol. I just will
not text him, so what a shame? I know. My
third pick Steve Crell. Oh, that's a good one, such
a good one. My fourth pick though, was I mean,
(15:44):
I was neck and neck with Steve cro on the
I'll tell you the other one was in the second.
Steve Carell just seems like an awesome dude. Yeah, Like,
I don't know what else I can say. He's done
many roles that I love, but he just seems like
an awesome guy. He has like a bookstore and Rhode Island,
and I could be wrong about the state sounds so cool. Though.
Everybody talks so lovingly of Steve Carell. All the people
in the office love each other so much, and they
(16:07):
even though Steve Carell left early to go do his
thing and movies, they all were like, we miss Steve
so much.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What do you say about the bookstore Massachusetts?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Class so close close, they get it. They get to
my train for the neighboring state. Yeah, well he is OK.
So I go Steve Carell at I bet you he's awesome. Yeah,
I don't know him, but if I did, I'd probably
be like, Eddie, you got to come meet with my
friend Steve. He's awesome. That's awesome. Okay, give me a
couple of honorable mentions. Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I have Ken Young, which I think he's so funny.
That's very funny, and he was he's a real doctor, right,
and so anytime I see him, and it's not like
he's a funny guy where he tries to be funny.
It's just the things he says that are really funny.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I like. I like him. Never met him.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Here's one that we've met before, but honestly, if like
we were, if it.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Was just me and him and he saw me, he
wouldn't like remember me it is. It's Blake Shelton.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I think me and Blake, and we've seen him many time,
but I think Blake and I could be really good friend.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Blake's a really nice guy. I say that to somebody
who knows him, knows him. Blake's awesome. Like I could
see us just hanging out and being real friends if
we just had that opportunity. You're sounding like everybody with
the person that they love as a celebrity man Drake
if he just knew who I was, Drake Man would
like be hanging out and be like, man do Kendrick
and I if he just knew like the type of
(17:22):
person I was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Because Blake comes in the studio, you know, and like
we sometimes like I'll say something, he looks at me
and that's it. But that's then he leaves. And I
think if he took the time to know who I was,
he'd like me too.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's kind of psychostalker call, but I still agree with you.
They I'm gonna give you my three. This one was
almost my top three though. It was either Steve Carl
or Tina Fey. Oh oh those are really like Yeah,
Tina Face is hard for me to pick. I think
Tina Face just delightful, so smart, so funny. She seems
(17:58):
so kind that people really talk lovingly of her. That's
how you can really tell too other people, but you're not.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I worry about these comedians though, and not worry about them,
but I worry about being friends with these comedians or.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Wanted They're not going to be funny all the time. Yeah,
And then you're just like, well, what's that other personality
that we don't know. Okay, can I give you a
jerk a very watered down example. Yeah, I go places
and people expect me to be mistered, life of the party,
say funny stuff. I have so many stories, Hey, tell
all these stories at dinner. Am I like that at all? No? No,
(18:30):
if I need to be, absolutely but there's like a
gear for that. And they all have the same gears,
I'm sure. And I bet you that when they're on,
they're freaking a plus. Like if they're they're comfortable with
their own friends. Yeah, I don't think she's like murdering
cats or anything.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, not that, but it's like it's like Robin Williams,
like he was so funny, but man, they were.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Just I think that's I think that's a different type
of person. Okay, Like rob Williams was, like I think
he was on all the time. Yeah, and he lived.
Maybe not, but also it could be, you know, some
bipolar type situation, not a disorder. But I'm so introverted
until it's time to be an extrovert, and I'm then
I'm so extroverted. Like here I am. I demand attention.
(19:12):
If you don't give it to me, I'm gonna cry.
And be sad. Yeah. And it's the other way. It's
like I don't want attention. If you give it to
me right now, I'm going to cry and be sad.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Do you think there are there are these these artists,
artists like you know, creatives that are the same, yes,
on and off, Yes, always, yes, I know some that's cool.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
See.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I feel like Kelly Clarkson is a really good example
of that. I don't think she's as large because you
don't have to be, but I think she Yeah, I
think she's just kind all the time. Uh, Tina Fey
made my list of it almost always made the real list,
but honorable mentions. I have John Krazinski on there. It
could be just because I love the Office.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I could be he could be your your Ryan Goslin. Yeah,
but I and he's also like.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I gotta do your thing for a second. I gotta
do your thing for a second. He also like is
really good and like muscle Rolls too. He can play
you know, Jim Howpard. He was the nerd Yeah, and
then he was what is he Amazon? He's doing that?
He's like what's fighting in Wars? And Iran? He's the
one name Jack Jack with Jack Ryan Jack Ryan. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's my Ryan Gosling. We have crushes on. Now,
(20:15):
then I say that, and then if I'm not going
to steal yours, which is Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
See, I love Tom Hanks like I love Tom Hanks,
and I've always wanted to meet Tom Hanks. He's my
favorite actor in the whole wide world. But there was
a video I saw where these like cameras got in
their way and I think like they maybe he fell
over or maybe his wife fell over a camera person,
and then he just snapped. And not to say that
people can't be normal, but when he snapped like that,
(20:44):
it ruined every single thought I had about Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't judge person on their worst. I know that
weakest moment, you know, I know that.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But if they did that around all these cameras, then
what do they do when they're no cameras around?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
But I think they're probably comfortalling all the cameras because
they're there all the time. I'm not I'm not standing.
I'm all good. Okay, thank you everybody. Now let's go
over to Joel Mchill. You know him from hosting The
Soup for over a decade. Animal Control on Fox hosting
House of Villains and the game show The One Percent Club.
He would have made my list of somebody that I
don't know that I love and I think would be awesome.
He also started in Scream seven, The Bear Yellowjackets, Ted

Blended even hosted The SP's and The White House Correspondence Dinner.
Here he is somebody who I think is awesome. Joel McHale,

the most likable people on television. Here he is Joel McHale. Hey, Joe,
(22:10):
good to see you man.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Thanks for having me. Nice to be on.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
How are you doing really good? We were just talking
about campaign donations. If you wanted to hop into that conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, money, what let's let's do it. I'm contributing to
the Whig Party this year.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Oh yeah, you know they've been out of they've been
out of touch for a while. I feel like they
don't really relate to anything we're going through now.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, this is a big comeback. And you know, since
I had hair transplants, I get it that they're they
haven't you know, had been very relevant. But I'm gonna
I think we should make a comeback.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah. I think you're missing that too. But that's okay,
that's not what we're here to talk about. No, we
were just talking about how like there's been a couple
of campaigns I've contributed to it. I just get so
many texts that I start hating the person that i've
I've contributed to because they won't stop texting me and
emailing me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And that is one of those things where I think
all voters of all parties can agree and they they
have the power to stop those texts. Our government and
they're like, yeah, but we don't. And yes, I always
push stop and then delete and uh, yeah, I can't. Yes,
(23:19):
But then I'm like, well, maybe maybe I should send
one out and raise some money for something that I want.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
The Whig Party, which you are now going ahead in
a front. Okay, I got so many things talked to
you about number one. I was watching some house villains
as far because I know and this is not just
thank you, well hold on, this is not just like
pro show promo, which is why you're on. But I've
got questions and I know you'll tell me real answers.
(23:47):
Are these people that we have been conditioned to know
as kind of either mean or douchebag or out of touch.
What's the percentage of them playing a character on television
and they're actually kind of nice?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I would say the majority definitely, like ninety nine percent
are nice, Like they're cool, and we we only had
like there's only been a not really there hasn't been
like any actual fistfights or anything like that. And then
I think one time we had a contestant like I'm
(24:18):
not coming out of my room and I was like,
give me a break, why are you here? And I
was like you're not. I was like, unless you're being
truly just being truly villainous that you're not going to
actually participate. But then they came right out. But for
the most part from just interacting like they're pretty cool
and uh, you know for the villain part there, they
(24:42):
turn it. They definitely turn it. I mean I was like,
this is where you know, this is a show, everything
is on camera, turn it on and here we go.
And so it's definitely a heightened version of them, and
I guess it's a heightened version of me. But I
was like, this is your chance to really let it
fly and and let that stuff go, and you could
win a bunch of money. So I'm and as you know,
(25:05):
I mean, as you have seen probably like the show
is silly, so that's what we you know, it's a
lot of jokes, so we that's yeah, that's what I enjoy.
And we tell them like, this is all going to
be ridiculous. It's still a competition and all that stuff,
but it's going to be wonderfully ridiculous, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I wonder about people on shows because I've done a
couple of shows where they can't really edit you to
do anything you didn't do, but they can edit things
that you've done and I wonder how many of these
villain quote characters and it could be people that are
on the show now, or it could be like a
famous one like Amurosa way back on The Apprentice, Like
there are famous villains that the producers convinced them to
(25:43):
do that, and if there was later a regret, or
if they're so self aware that they knew what they
were doing and they just knew that was probably the
way to get famous.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I think it's a combination of all those things. And
you know, if it's something like if something like the
I think I'm speaking on behalf of the Bachelor producers
where there's no prize, right, I mean the prize. It's
a dating game and it's an unhinged dating game, but
it's a dating game and there's no actual money, right,
(26:14):
so on, But when you're giving away real money, the
game show police are not joking around, and because of
that whole quiz show scandal way back when where that
great Ray Fines movie was made about it. But when
they're like, so are like the producers want you to like,
(26:35):
we want people to be into the games and particise. Obviously,
we want them to participate in the competition, but like
when it comes to the when it's real money, we can't,
you know, we can't really tell them to do certain things.
So because the prize is like two or grand so
which is a lot of money. And so yeah, well
(26:55):
in those situations you can't influence. And I'll have I
have a your wig in that. They say you can't
lead anybody, you can't tell them what to do and
stuff like that. So it's yeah, so that all the
games are pretested.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I learned that whatever I did dancing with the Stars,
that they really could not help us. Or even when
I was because I did an American Idol for four years,
we could give nobody anything. It was like second grade.
If you bring candy for one kid, you got to
bring it for everybody. Like we had to make sure
because there was money, record deals, or when I was
competing dancing, they could give us nothing that everybody else
(27:28):
didn't get. And they were so stringent about it.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They're the game show police, are they They know all
the rules of it seemed like all the rules of life.
Like they like they are good at enforcing these crazy rules.
I mean, God bless them, because they I would I
would be like, here, just take just everyone, let's just
all share, let's go. But yeah, they're they're not. Did
(27:54):
you ever see that movie Quiz Show Wave?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I did, Yeah, I Gotta Find a Million Bucks by
the SEC a few years ago, and so I learned,
like I've not only seen the movie and understood it,
I have a relationship with the FCC now that I
don't love. So I'm very familiar with how that world works.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You were fined a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I was, yes, what did you do?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I'm sorry that I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, it's okay. It's not something that I talk about
a lot, but I'm happy to share. No, No, I'm
not scared of it. I've already been through all the
court proceedings and all the money's been paid, So I'm
all good. But so one of my jobs I do
a nationally syndicated radio show. And so I was doing
some stand up in Dallas, and I was working from
a studio down there, and it was the night of
(28:39):
the World Series and the Nationals were playing in the
World Series. I'm a big sports guy, and so there
was a home run hit during one of the games,
and as the ball was traveling out of the stadium,
they tested the EAS alert. They literally tested it as
a home run was being hit. So imagine you're watching
the World Series and it's like, all right, going, going,
(29:02):
this is a test or the and I couldn't believe
that that's when they tested it. So I'm on the air.
It was a really stupid bit. I went over to
YouTube and I grabbed a clip that was readily available
on YouTube, and I just started doing other famous moments
interrupted by the EAS practice alert. So I was like,
one small step for me, this is a test of
(29:22):
the EAS or four score and seven. Okay, dumb bit,
kind of funny, Move on with the day. Apparently, the
sound that I had taken was an active EAS tone
that locked up multiple cities. So radio stations all over
the country had now fired off the alert. Att TV
(29:43):
had locked up. What I didn't know is I that
I had taken control of all these radio stations, and
I didn't know that there was a tone at the
end that releases them. So they all stayed locked up
for eight hours because I never released the tone. So
I got fined a million bucks. Good lord, yeah, tell
me about it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I didn't even I don't even know that that is,
I don't even think, good lord, that were you ever
told about that early in broadcasting? Another way, this certain
tone is going to unlock the Jason Bourne deploy the
asset into the field if they just hear a weird noise.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Not only did they not teach me about that, I
took it from a public site, like hide that thing,
like I don't know, you don't just walk around with
the codes of the football, you know, for the nuclear
like hide that stuff that matters. But yeah, yeah, so
I was very familiar with with how the FCC and
how the quiz show finds work.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Wait, if I played that tone on on our broadcast
right now, then we could be not that I'm going,
but we could be fined.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No, because they changed them every year or two and
then two. This was on a broadcast. I was on
like two two hundred cities at the same time, and
I fired that thing off through towers I didn't know.
And so yeah, life sucked for a life sucked for
a little bit. There.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I got this friend, his old comedian friend from the night.
He used to do radio for years and years and years.
Whenever there would be a home run call and he
was running the board, he would always insert other sound
effects that people that he would put in cows and
machine guns and World War two airplane sounds like that's
(31:29):
bye bye baseball and never never address it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
See that's the stuff. I think it's funny right there,
like retro shout out to your buddy who used to do.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That, Pat Cashman. Pat Cashman who was the voice of
Bill Ny the science guy way back when.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Give me the voice of the television show. Like talking
into that voice.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
He'd be like, oh Bill, Bill, now this song is good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I have a bunch of friends. I live in Nashville,
and so I have a bunch of friends that are
in the country music industry. And they played sports at
a high level and during sports at a high level,
which they played, but a lot of them did not
start as quarterback or as running back, but they had
a position on the team. But they took up music
and they would start to play music while they were
(32:14):
doing whatever sport it is. Mostly it was football, sometimes
it was baseball. When did you start doing and being
funny to where you thought you could do it? Was
it while you were playing sports?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Oh no, it Well, thank you for saying that, because
there's a lot of people that to this day disagree
that I've ever told a funny joke, but that shows
my defensecurity. No, it was I think, boy, I was
such a bad student and the only thing I was
(32:46):
good at was sports, and then I would do a
school play and I was like, Oh, this is super
fun and this is great, and that's kind of how
I escaped being I also got held back, so I
was embarrassed about that. So I just overcompensated by telling
(33:08):
jokes and throwing and chasing balls everywhere, because that's yeah,
I'm like a basically a large golden retriever. So I
think the first the first time I was ever on
stage was when I was a first grader and I
did a staged version of It's a Small World, the
(33:30):
Ride from Disney. This was at a public school, which
there's an actual play out there of that ride all World,
and I played all the little parts I play, and
and that was yeah, that was That was when I
was like, oh, this is this seems like this seems
(33:52):
like so much fun, and so I was like, I'm
gonna It wasn't basically until seventh grade that I was
like I'm going to try and do this and tell
somebody stops me. And I just yeah, I just was like,
I can't. I don't want a real job.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
What kind of numbers did you put up as a
high school ball player?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Oh, I'm I was really I walked on well when
I went when I played played college football, I walked
onto the team and I had only played freshman year
because I quit to be in plays, so walking on.
I was recruited to row at the University of Washington,
(34:32):
and that didn't go great because the university at that point,
the University of Washington at the rowing team had tons
of hazing. I mean, this is a long time I know,
I'm backing into this a very strange way, but they
I quit the team because the senior rowers surrounded another
(34:55):
freshman and I and began to hit us. So eleven
on two really great. And they had all these crazy rituals,
which they've now gotten rid of, thankfully, like they would
shave everybody's hair and eyebrows off and put their hair
into a pillow. Yes, I know what I'm saying. All
sounds very strange. And then there was a display case
of the hair pillows like a freaking serial killer. So
(35:21):
then I knew a few guys on the football team,
Damon Heward, Mark Brunner, and I was like, or I
knew Mark afterwards, but like Damon was and Ernie Conwell
were in my fraternity, also a short lived place for me,
but I ended up being friends with those guys and
then I was like, I'm gonna come out with football
and they're like, all right. And so I played for
(35:45):
two years and didn't really did not know what I
was doing that first year, and then the second year
they red shirted me, and then then I left to
go do theater. So it was all very So I
looked really good in that photo, both photo, but but
I actually never played in a game, and so that's
(36:05):
why I was. I was. I've always always referred to
myself as the greatest practicer of all time.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
It's wild that you really didn't play in high school.
I worked for the NFL and I do a show
with Matt Castle, who played for USC but he never
started in call, not a single game, and he went
to the NFL and he had a pretty good career
in the NFL. But that your story is crazier of
not playing in high school at all, and then you
end up walking on because they don't just let.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
You freshman year. Freshman year I played, which but that rushman.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Year that doesn't count. That's ninth grade. That's like three
years since you go into college. Like that's that's wild.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It was not smart.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
And my the the tight end coach was like, I'm
he was very confused, and he was like, I'm not
going to put you in because I think you're gonna
get killed. Uh. And so then I began practicing a lot,
and I knew I was getting better. I wasn't great
at all, but but then they began putting me in
(37:06):
like spring games and stuff, and that was super fun.
And I mean those guys were you know, they're the
best of their entire like they're the best in their
high school ever. And so I was just trying to
avoid getting killed, which was a really good motivator. But
I was like, I'm a good athlete and so like
(37:28):
I was good on the basketball team and stuff like that.
But yeah, no, it's not. It's not a recommended journey
to to athletic greatness, but boy it it was. It
really taught me. I know the sound now, but it
taught me. I was like, oh, these guys are working
harder than anybody I know. I was like, these guys
are this is a full time job what these guys
(37:51):
are doing, and it is dangerous and uh so when
you know, players started getting paid, I was like, great, Yeah,
these guys are building this school and so yeah, that's
a long it's a long my long, meandering explanations, but
yeah it who would Yeah, I look back on her now,
I'm like, you were insane and yeah, so it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Whenever you moved down to Los Angeles, did you finish
school and then move and and and did you do
the whole thing when you can find a crappy apartment
start from the ground up.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Well, I was very lucky because I got onto well
I married well, now it's sketch. I married my wife, Sarah,
and she was very I was before I was ever
on TV, and I got onto a TV show in
the nineties called Almost Live, which is where Bill Nye
started and where it was this. It was syndicated on
(38:43):
Comedy Central. John Keister was the host of it, and
it was a it was an odd thing. It was
an odd There was like nothing else in the nation
like it. It was a locally produced sketch comedy show
on the NBC affiliate and we would push sat it
out live to twelve oh five because it was taped
for from the East Coast obviously, so we had this
(39:06):
these huge numbers. So it was like this big hit
in Seattle and nowhere else. And I got on that show,
and so I was so lucky. And then so I
left that show, went to graduate school for acting at
the University of Washington, go Dogs. And then I had
to make a decision in two thousand with to go
(39:28):
to LA or New York. And I decided on LA
just because I really knew I wanted to be on
TV and be in movies if I could. And my
wife supported me, and so we got this apartment and
I had no job, and she worked in graphic design,
and you know, it was like two for four years.
(39:52):
Later the soup finally well that finally, but the soup
got on and then about five years a year after that,
it started really working. So I got really lucky. I
got lucky that I got on TV, but I had,
you know, my wife supported me through all of that,
so she I, yeah, I mean every she's she's very patient.
(40:15):
And now because I was five, I guess I said,
just give me five years in LA to see if
I can make it work, and if not, then I'll
go back to We'll go back to Seattle and I'll
you know, I don't know what I'll do, but I'll
figure it out.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
A lot of artists when they move here to Nashville,
they do have those years where they're trying to figure
it out and they're meeting their people and yeah kind
of understanding, they're doing songwriting nights, and like what is
that for an actor when they moved to LA, Like
those four years, what are you doing in order to
find your place.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
There? Unit? I mean obviously, you know, like there's no
the paths are all crazy, and I couldn't the path
to get to some kind of like oh it's working,
it's successful, and is all over the map. So I
joined a couple of theater groups and was like, I
just want to work, I just want to perform. So
(41:25):
I had joined this theater group called Circle X, which
is a bunch of actors from Seattle, and it was
avant garde theater. To like, they were like, we're only
doing crazy plays. So I was doing some insane plays
down here, and I was doing improv at a couple
(41:45):
different places, including Improv Olympic with a guy named Sten
Nickerson and Rugan Burns, and then I joined ACME Theater.
So I was doing everything I could, and it's the
thing where you're like, if I can just to perform
a little and get out there, and I couldn't get
an agent. So I finally got a commercial agent AKA
(42:12):
and they took They were like, they almost didn't take me.
And I'm like, had all this tape from Seattle, and
they like, it doesn't matter here. And I couldn't get
an agent, and but this commercial agency, God bless them.
I began doing commercials and I thought, I'm thirty three
and I can't get an audition. And I was like
(42:34):
and I was like, I'll just be the greatest commercial
actor of all time. And that's so I'm like, I'm
gonna do that until somebody stops me. And it wasn't
until after the Soup really that I got an agent.
I was already on TV one. I finally signed with
(42:54):
an agency. There was an agent that I signed with
that they dropped me right after there. So I got
down here to la we'll call down here because and immediately,
very luckily got on the show. And then this sounds
different than what but I got. My friend got me
an audition for Will and Grace. But you had to
(43:16):
be over six seven and I'm like six three six'
four depends on what the humidity humidity, Is AND i
wore heels to this. AUDITION i literally went to the
like to a motorcycle boot shop and bought huge heeled
boots AND i, THOUGHT i Think i'm gonna be the
(43:37):
funniest guy over six', eight HERE and i got this.
Little part, it worked and that's WHEN so, i Signed
like i've got an agent, through that and they immediately
dropped me because THEY said i wasn't. Working enough so
then finally the souper start working four years later and,
uh YEAH Then i i'm what was called hip pocketed
(43:59):
at an agent's see where they this my FRIEND who
i went to high, school with he's like he was an,
agent there and, he's, LIKE look i cannot sign you
because no one's going to be excited about. You Here
so i'm going to send you auditions here and THERE if,
I can and so. That work that ultimately WORKED and.
(44:22):
I WENT so i was paying this agency EVEN though
i was not signed, With them and so they took
me to lunch to sign me a year after the
soup was already on and so to make up for
THE commission i was already, PAYING them i just started
buying things on the MENU and i bought an eight
pound LOBSTER and I think i bought like two bottles
(44:43):
of wine. To GO so i, was, like this this
makes up For what i've been paying. You guys, but
anyway that was it's hard to well NOW when i,
Look back, i'm like, good lord that was twenty. Years
AGO like i DIDN'T have i have a twenty one
year old and a seventeen, year Old and, i'm like
where did the? Time go? What happened how did the suit? Come?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Together then how did it come about if you didn't
have an agent pointing you in? A, DIRECTION.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Well i had this commercial agent and they were getting

little there was a COUPLE of.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
Tv WRITERS but I remember i was at A restaurant

percent club is one hundred contestants, each show so that's
that's where the challenge, comes in is bringing all those

people in. At once and but the but it goes
pretty quick once the game. Gets going and like as

THE time, I mean i'm my wife's really good at puzzles,

puzzle and you'll you'll just, do that don't listen. To
me and so they don't really include. That stuff but uh,
(55:28):

Speaker 1 (59:00):
This has Been a bobby. Cast production
Hey, welcome to the Bobby Cast. Now we do have
Joel McHale coming up. Love Joel McHale. I think Joel
McHale is one of the friendliest seeming guys in television
or movies. And so I have Eddie here and I
just gave him the challenge of who do you think
are the nicest guys? We don't know them? Yes, we
can't know them. It's tough because we know a couple,
(00:28):
but we can't pick anybody we know.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Like even if we've spent time with them, but really
don't know them like they've been around. I kind of
know their personality, but we don't know them personally.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Think it has to be just people that we see
on screen and that we feel are super awesome just
from the characters they play. Are the interviews they do?
Got it? If we're betting money on them being awesome people,
that's who we bet on. Okay, So I'm gonna remove
And this came up because of that because I love
Joel McHale, didn't know him in that interview with him
is coming up. He's freaking awesome. He's awesome. That's cool.
(00:58):
Another one that I'm going to eliminate is Michael straight hand,
because I think I would have picked him because he
seems so fun I have been on GMA a couple
of times, have interviewed him on this. I would have
put him on, but I have a one percent relationship
with him. But I'm taking him off. But he would
have been there. He seems like a really nice guy.
I love Michael Strahan, can't get enough. Yeah, okay, so
(01:19):
we'll go back and forth. I'll let you go first,
and you're the guests, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
My first one that since Saturday Night Saturday Night Live,
I've loved Jimmy Fallon. I feel like he is just genuine.
He is who you get who he is just by
seeing everything he does on TV. He's so funny and
the fact that he can make fun of himself and
how much he laughs at himself.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I think it'd be just great to hang out with him.
Dude stories we read about them factor in Yes, Okay, yeah,
I agree with you. What I know that there's been
a few things, nothing nothing bad, nothing cancelable, right, I
just wonder, but personality traits to me, what's crazy about
Jimmy fall is how great of a singer he also is.
(02:02):
Because you don't know him as a singer, but then
when he actually does try to sing, not just on
a show, but he'll go and sing with people at concerts.
He's awesome even when he does, like Mick Jagger, he
sounds so good. There have been stories about him, and
I don't want to put him on blast, but like
(02:23):
if he drinks a lot, like okay, that's even more
a reason why I like to hang out with him, right,
And I don't even know that they're true, but you know,
he'd read stories about Jimmy Fallon at times when he's
not working, he gets out of control at this place.
But that may also make you like him more, That's
what I'm saying. Am I crazy to think that those
have been real stories?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay? So, but also to run that schedule and like
that man, he's busy. Okay, I like it. He wasn't
on mine, but I like it. I love Jimmy Fallon.
I cheated. I put somebody on my list who I
kind of know, and it's unfair who is it. I'm
gonna say who it is, it doesn't count. But I
just really like Kelly Clarkson. Oh yeah, you know her.
I know she knows you by name. She's awesome. I
(03:05):
don't I take her off my list. I did put
her on before I made the rules. We could have
never talked to them. I have a couple. I was
on her talk show. That wasn't that big of a deal.
We've spoken before. I start her an airport once and
she came up to me and she was like bo
and she lived in Nashville for a long She's awesome.
I'm gonna pull her off the list. Can't do it. Okay,
she is so likable that she's awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Man Like if you know nothing about her and you
just watch her like, that's another one who you feel
like you watch and you're like you're really seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Who they are. Okay, for you? Do you don't know
Kelly Clarkson? Do you love Kelly Clarkson? Who love Kelly?
You should love Kelly Clarkson because she's so she can't
be on my list, but consider her for next time
we do this. That's good. Kelly Clarkson is amazing. Okay,
I'm gonna put Paul Rudd. That's a good one. I
feel like he's my best friend. I feel like he
(03:53):
was my best friend on Friends back in the day.
Because Paul Rudd married Phoebe. They were together on the show.
On the show and so and then that's why you
called her Phoebe and not Lizikudro. I did a movie
Lisa Cudro once. Yeah, if I can say something about her,
I sat next door in a makeup chair in the
movie was called Band Slam. I had nine lines. Great movie,
(04:14):
by the way, you know, underrated movie. I remember when
I want teenage kids. It's clean, it's pretty good. Yes,
Paul Rud married her right on the show, and then
obviously he's done everything else. If that dude is a
bad dude, I don't want to live. Then I'm the
most wrong judge of character in the history of judges
of character. I think Paul Rudd seems like the greatest,
(04:37):
most fun, normal, self deprecating, also actually knows he's pretty good.
At the same time, so when he says that it
doesn't rub you the wrong way. Yeah, you're so right
about that. I'm going Paul, wait, think about that, Mike,
Paul Rudd. I love Paul, and don't you think too.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Like when these actors have certain roles like Paul Rud's
never a bad bad dude unless I've missed a movie
where he plays a really bad dude.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
He's always a likable I too. In his movies. I
think the roles they played reflect who they are. Well, no,
I would say affects what we think, because I think
there are probably bad dudes that play good people and
good people that play bad guy.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
But I mean, Paul Rud even plays a criminal in
ant Man and he's still a good guy.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I never watch ant Man. I couldn't get into it.
He is ant Man, right, Yeah, I know, I couldn't
believe it. I can believe all the other ones. Wolf Rain,
I believe it, but man, I believe it. But I'm
raising a man. I'm just like that can never happen.
It makes no sense. My number one is Paul Rudd,
(05:36):
back to you, that's good. My number two is Ryan Goslin.
Ryan Goslin never met the guy. And there is again
to my point where you watch every Ryan Gosling movie
and you just want to be his friend because he
just seems and it's not fair. He's so good looking.
It's not fair. That's a half point off for me
that that I'm jealous of how good he.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Looks, because these are such a good looking dude. But
he's such a likable character in all of his movies
that I gravitate towards Ryan Goslin. If there's a movie
coming out and Ryan Goslin's in it, I want to
see it, mostly because I just want to see Ryan Goslin.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
So I just think you have a crush on Ryan
Gosling anything else. But what I would say in Ryan
Gosling at not if his defense, and more of what
you're saying is when he does things like Saturday Night Live,
like they know how talented he is, and the fact
that they enjoy and he's on so many times, and
that they break and they crack a lot with him,
it means they like him, yes, And if there are
(06:32):
people that genuinely like somebody, you can always tell. So
if people I like like somebody, I like them. I
think the SNL stuff does more for me for liking
him as a person than the movies do. Although I
do like him as an actor a lot.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I think he's one of the greatest actors ever, because
like weird, weird to say that, there really aren't a
lot of I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Think you're in love with him. I can't and I
get it. He's a really good looking you know that law.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
We've talked a lot about movies, but you know how
we've talked about our top five Forever Forrest Gump, Shotshak Reneption,
the you know the same once.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I think Lala Land has moved up to my top five.
Wland is so good. I did not expect it to
be good. I know it's awesome. Who's in it? Well, yeah,
Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Yep, yeah, I haven't seen the
Please please allow me to respectfully comment on your Ryan Gosling. Please.
(07:25):
I think you just like him as an actor. I do,
but that also means that I kind of like him
as a person. I'll let you have it. I'm not
going to ask it. It's like Tom Hanks, It's like
I need to see these people in interviews. I need
to see these people. Have you seen Ryan Goslin interviews?
I saw him do a promo for Project Hill Mary.
Was he funny? And they had him throw a football? Oh?
Not that? So you're like, I'm not hanging out with this. No,
(07:48):
it's not that. It's that he is on camera A
dude's dude good looking gets the chicks. Is also lovable,
The Notebook awesome. He grew up basically a theater kid. Sure,
he's on Star Search. She was in Mickey mouse Club
Star Search, right, yeah, Mickey mouse Club singing. So he
didn't play a lot of sports. He didn't need to,
so good. Never really learned to throw a ball. Yeah,
(08:12):
someone and his team should have said, instead of doing this,
Hail Mary throw for Project Hill Mary, let's not throw
a ball because it looked like if I were throwing
it with my off hand. Yeah, yeah, which would be
your right hand.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
You know what.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
I kind of liked that about him. He's not perfect,
so I think I think it up and all the point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Yeah, Ryan Gosling's good. That's a good one. Okay, So
your two are who's so far? I have Jimmy Fallon
and Ryan Gosling. I have like eight. I'm gonna go
Kristen Bell. Really she seems fun. She seems funny. Yeah,
(08:49):
she's wildly talented obviously, because and not even just for
like the movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall, she sings and
Frozen she does. Have you ever just seen her sing? No,
so talent wise a plus all in. But she married
to Dax there together she does the commercials. To me,
Kristen Bell seems like that cuttingly funny friend who doesn't
(09:14):
have to dominate the conversation. But man, when you go
to her, she knocks it out of the park. Fair.
I feel like Kristen Bell is so likable. I don't
think i've ever met her. Do you like Dax Shepard? Yeah? Yeah,
I mean I don't not like him. I respect him.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, see, I'm not a fan of his. Uh So
then I'm always thinking like, Okay, well she's married to him,
So does that mean that she's not.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh, I think it means she's even cooler because he's
like a normal dude. Yeah. Yeah, Like he's like a
dude who has his freaking demons from what Michigan grew
up did his whole came to La was unpunked and
came up that way rights the Grinds podcast, smart guy,
intellectual guy. I feel like her being with him makes
(09:59):
me like her even more interesting because I feel like
I'm not as like cool guy motorcycle as Dax, but
I feel some similarities with us. With we came up
in a way that was very different than a lot
of people come up that make it in these areas. Okay,
So I think I like Christy about Moore because she's
ready dack, shephard, I'm about you ask that.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I never thought about that because if you know the
person's spouse, it's kind of like a good indicator of like,
all right, what's the spouse, Like do I like that spouse.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Or do they have to be a certain way to
put up with the spouse? Correct? Like I think you
would like my wife more if you knew how hard
I was to deal with at times, like how you're
not telling me that, right, No, I'm just saying it,
just like how neurotic I am. How and my wife
is the funniest person I have ever met. But also
she has to deal with this and she deals with it.
(10:49):
And no one has ever been the boss over me,
like especially in my personal life, I have a boss
over me, and it's crazy. But Kristin bell is mom,
have Paul Rudd and Kristin bell Man. Those are good.
Those are really good.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Hank Tight, the Bobby Cast will be right back and
we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
All right, give me your So the last one's hard
just because it's the last spot. And I have so
pick one and then I'll pick one and then we
can do our honorable mentions.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna go with And I didn't
technically meet this guy you met him. I was there
watching you meet him, and I was jealous that I
didn't get to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It's Jim Nance. Oh yeah, he's awesome and mostly explain
who he is in case people don't know sports Jim Nance.
He is the voice of CBS Sports. He's the he
does the Masters. He talks very softly, NFL with NFL
with Tony Romo, that's his partner in crime Final four
two right, yes, at least for at least for he
I think you were talking from that now.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Very very recognizable voice. I love his voice. The voice
is great.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
But I feel like he is He plays golf, he
loves sports, and I feel like he would have so
many stories, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Just and from watching this is based on you meeting him,
watching the interaction between you two, he seemed like a
very likable guy.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, Jim NANTZ. Just first of all, I was in
all the first time I met him, because I'm not
cool enough to no know him. I do have a
cell phone, Remember, what you do. Yeah, but I never
once texted it not, so you have it? Is it?
What's it under Jim? It has to be. It has
to be just under Jim Nance or like voice. God,
you can't do that. Man. If somebody steals your phone
(12:46):
and they see Jim Nance, they're not gonna ge. They're
not gonna get my code. Okay, yeah, look wow it
says Jim Nance. I'm not gonna text him now because
as we're recording this, the Masters is happening. Yes, he's busy.
So the greatest Jim Nance story The first time I
met Jim Nance, we were I was playing Pebble Beach
prom you were with me. He came as my caddy.
He ended up playing with me because just like can
(13:07):
Eddie please play? And they were like yeah, and I
appreciate that. Yeah, and so but we met. I met Jim,
you were with me, and I was like, Jim Nance, well.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well before that happened, do you remember we heard him first,
like there were so many people and you can just
hear voices, and then you heard, oh that's funny. I
was there one day and.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That chicken was delightful, and then we didn't hear that
other like, is that Jim Nance And he walks up
and he wasn't with but he knew Charles Kelly, the
lead singer of Lady A, who we were talking to, yes,
And so we're all just standing there talking and it's
like Jim Nance and Charles Kelly and me and you
and I'm not saying much and you're saying nothing because
we both feel like we're somewhere we shouldn't be anyway.
(13:46):
And Jim Nant's super cool. He says, hey, I live
in Nashville part of the year or two, and that
I'm just him finding something in common, right, which is
a nice thing that people do. And so I go
out and I'm playing in the par three for those
that are watching. Every once in a while, somebody considers
me a celebrity every great once in a while, and
this was one of those instances. And so I was
(14:08):
doing the celebrity part three the day before the pro
am tournament and jim Nantz was calling it, and so
I'm up and everybody's around and dude, and I'm not
a good golfer. I nail it. I win my group.
Jim Nantz is calling it. And so then afterward I
was talking with jim Nantz and he was like cool, cool,
and he's like, I'll be in Nashville and he gives
(14:29):
me a cell phone number. I'm never gonna call him, right,
So all good. We're doing a bit you and I
are about how jim Nance was not allowed him to
a certain country club in Nashville, and I said, these
people aren't allowing jim Nantz in this country club. They're
making him get on a wait list. That's like the
YMCA not letting Kobe Bryant hop in a pickup game.
Like what are you thinking? This is the guy. He
(14:52):
heard that and texted me. He's like, that's the funniest
thing ever heard. So we becoind of, like you know,
semi kind of friends. You're right, that's a good pick
because jim Nance to me, even when we didn't kind
of know him, he was he's been awesome. Well that
makes me feel better about my pick. I love jim Nantz, man,
I just I'm too scared to message him.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, I wonder like when someone gives you their number,
like are they expecting a text?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Are they expecting If they're expecting it from me, they
ain't gonna get it. Because I also have Mark Grace's
cell phone number?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Have you?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Mark Grace is my favorite baseball player growing up, the
one that it was like my idol. I just will
not text him, so what a shame? I know. My
third pick Steve Crell. Oh, that's a good one, such
a good one. My fourth pick though, was I mean,
(15:44):
I was neck and neck with Steve cro on the
I'll tell you the other one was in the second.
Steve Carell just seems like an awesome dude. Yeah, Like,
I don't know what else I can say. He's done
many roles that I love, but he just seems like
an awesome guy. He has like a bookstore and Rhode Island,
and I could be wrong about the state sounds so cool. Though.
Everybody talks so lovingly of Steve Carell. All the people
in the office love each other so much, and they
(16:07):
even though Steve Carell left early to go do his
thing and movies, they all were like, we miss Steve
so much.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Mike.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
What do you say about the bookstore Massachusetts?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Class so close close, they get it. They get to
my train for the neighboring state. Yeah, well he is OK.
So I go Steve Carell at I bet you he's awesome. Yeah,
I don't know him, but if I did, I'd probably
be like, Eddie, you got to come meet with my
friend Steve. He's awesome. That's awesome. Okay, give me a
couple of honorable mentions. Okay.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I have Ken Young, which I think he's so funny.
That's very funny, and he was he's a real doctor, right,
and so anytime I see him, and it's not like
he's a funny guy where he tries to be funny.
It's just the things he says that are really funny.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I like. I like him. Never met him.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Here's one that we've met before, but honestly, if like
we were, if it.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Was just me and him and he saw me, he
wouldn't like remember me it is. It's Blake Shelton.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
I think me and Blake, and we've seen him many time,
but I think Blake and I could be really good friend.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Blake's a really nice guy. I say that to somebody
who knows him, knows him. Blake's awesome. Like I could
see us just hanging out and being real friends if
we just had that opportunity. You're sounding like everybody with
the person that they love as a celebrity man Drake
if he just knew who I was, Drake Man would
like be hanging out and be like, man do Kendrick
and I if he just knew like the type of
(17:22):
person I was.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Because Blake comes in the studio, you know, and like
we sometimes like I'll say something, he looks at me
and that's it. But that's then he leaves. And I
think if he took the time to know who I was,
he'd like me too.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's kind of psychostalker call, but I still agree with you.
They I'm gonna give you my three. This one was
almost my top three though. It was either Steve Carl
or Tina Fey. Oh oh those are really like Yeah,
Tina Face is hard for me to pick. I think
Tina Face just delightful, so smart, so funny. She seems
(17:58):
so kind that people really talk lovingly of her. That's
how you can really tell too other people, but you're not.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I worry about these comedians though, and not worry about them,
but I worry about being friends with these comedians or.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Wanted They're not going to be funny all the time. Yeah,
And then you're just like, well, what's that other personality
that we don't know. Okay, can I give you a
jerk a very watered down example. Yeah, I go places
and people expect me to be mistered, life of the party,
say funny stuff. I have so many stories, Hey, tell
all these stories at dinner. Am I like that at all? No? No,
(18:30):
if I need to be, absolutely but there's like a
gear for that. And they all have the same gears,
I'm sure. And I bet you that when they're on,
they're freaking a plus. Like if they're they're comfortable with
their own friends. Yeah, I don't think she's like murdering
cats or anything.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
No, not that, but it's like it's like Robin Williams,
like he was so funny, but man, they were.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Just I think that's I think that's a different type
of person. Okay, Like rob Williams was, like I think
he was on all the time. Yeah, and he lived.
Maybe not, but also it could be, you know, some
bipolar type situation, not a disorder. But I'm so introverted
until it's time to be an extrovert, and I'm then
I'm so extroverted. Like here I am. I demand attention.
(19:12):
If you don't give it to me, I'm gonna cry.
And be sad. Yeah. And it's the other way. It's
like I don't want attention. If you give it to
me right now, I'm going to cry and be sad.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Do you think there are there are these these artists,
artists like you know, creatives that are the same, yes,
on and off, Yes, always, yes, I know some that's cool.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
See.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
I feel like Kelly Clarkson is a really good example
of that. I don't think she's as large because you
don't have to be, but I think she Yeah, I
think she's just kind all the time. Uh, Tina Fey
made my list of it almost always made the real list,
but honorable mentions. I have John Krazinski on there. It
could be just because I love the Office.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I could be he could be your your Ryan Goslin. Yeah,
but I and he's also like.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I gotta do your thing for a second. I gotta
do your thing for a second. He also like is
really good and like muscle Rolls too. He can play
you know, Jim Howpard. He was the nerd Yeah, and
then he was what is he Amazon? He's doing that?
He's like what's fighting in Wars? And Iran? He's the
one name Jack Jack with Jack Ryan Jack Ryan. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's my Ryan Gosling. We have crushes on. Now,
(20:15):
then I say that, and then if I'm not going
to steal yours, which is Tom Hanks.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
See, I love Tom Hanks like I love Tom Hanks,
and I've always wanted to meet Tom Hanks. He's my
favorite actor in the whole wide world. But there was
a video I saw where these like cameras got in
their way and I think like they maybe he fell
over or maybe his wife fell over a camera person,
and then he just snapped. And not to say that
people can't be normal, but when he snapped like that,
(20:44):
it ruined every single thought I had about Tom Hanks.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I don't judge person on their worst. I know that
weakest moment, you know, I know that.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But if they did that around all these cameras, then
what do they do when they're no cameras around?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
But I think they're probably comfortalling all the cameras because
they're there all the time. I'm not I'm not standing.
I'm all good. Okay, thank you everybody. Now let's go
over to Joel Mchill. You know him from hosting The
Soup for over a decade. Animal Control on Fox hosting
House of Villains and the game show The One Percent Club.
He would have made my list of somebody that I
don't know that I love and I think would be awesome.
He also started in Scream seven, The Bear Yellowjackets, Ted
(21:18):
Blended even hosted The SP's and The White House Correspondence Dinner.
Here he is somebody who I think is awesome. Joel McHale,
Hang tight, The Bobby Cast will be right back. Welcome
back to the Bobby Cast. And now we're going to
(21:39):
go to one of the most likable people on television,
Joel McHale. He just seems like a good dude. He's funny,
and he's my next guest.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Here.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
You know him from hosting The Soup for over a decade,
Animal Control on Fox, which season five is coming and
the finale is coming up April twenty third, hosting House
of Villains, the game show, The One Percent Club, The
Bear Yellow Jackets, Ted Blended even hosted The SP's and
The White House Correspondence dinner. And he is one of
the most likable people on television. Here he is Joel McHale. Hey, Joe,
(22:10):
good to see you man.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Thanks for having me. Nice to be on.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
How are you doing really good? We were just talking
about campaign donations. If you wanted to hop into that conversation.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Yeah, money, what let's let's do it. I'm contributing to
the Whig Party this year.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
Oh yeah, you know they've been out of they've been
out of touch for a while. I feel like they
don't really relate to anything we're going through now.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, this is a big comeback. And you know, since
I had hair transplants, I get it that they're they
haven't you know, had been very relevant. But I'm gonna
I think we should make a comeback.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah. I think you're missing that too. But that's okay,
that's not what we're here to talk about. No, we
were just talking about how like there's been a couple
of campaigns I've contributed to it. I just get so
many texts that I start hating the person that i've
I've contributed to because they won't stop texting me and
emailing me. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
And that is one of those things where I think
all voters of all parties can agree and they they
have the power to stop those texts. Our government and
they're like, yeah, but we don't. And yes, I always
push stop and then delete and uh, yeah, I can't. Yes,
(23:19):
But then I'm like, well, maybe maybe I should send
one out and raise some money for something that I want.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
The Whig Party, which you are now going ahead in
a front. Okay, I got so many things talked to
you about number one. I was watching some house villains
as far because I know and this is not just
thank you, well hold on, this is not just like
pro show promo, which is why you're on. But I've
got questions and I know you'll tell me real answers.
(23:47):
Are these people that we have been conditioned to know
as kind of either mean or douchebag or out of touch.
What's the percentage of them playing a character on television
and they're actually kind of nice?
Speaker 3 (23:58):
I would say the majority definitely, like ninety nine percent
are nice, Like they're cool, and we we only had
like there's only been a not really there hasn't been
like any actual fistfights or anything like that. And then
I think one time we had a contestant like I'm
(24:18):
not coming out of my room and I was like,
give me a break, why are you here? And I
was like you're not. I was like, unless you're being
truly just being truly villainous that you're not going to
actually participate. But then they came right out. But for
the most part from just interacting like they're pretty cool
and uh, you know for the villain part there, they
(24:42):
turn it. They definitely turn it. I mean I was like,
this is where you know, this is a show, everything
is on camera, turn it on and here we go.
And so it's definitely a heightened version of them, and
I guess it's a heightened version of me. But I
was like, this is your chance to really let it
fly and and let that stuff go, and you could
win a bunch of money. So I'm and as you know,
(25:05):
I mean, as you have seen probably like the show
is silly, so that's what we you know, it's a
lot of jokes, so we that's yeah, that's what I enjoy.
And we tell them like, this is all going to
be ridiculous. It's still a competition and all that stuff,
but it's going to be wonderfully ridiculous, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
I wonder about people on shows because I've done a
couple of shows where they can't really edit you to
do anything you didn't do, but they can edit things
that you've done and I wonder how many of these
villain quote characters and it could be people that are
on the show now, or it could be like a
famous one like Amurosa way back on The Apprentice, Like
there are famous villains that the producers convinced them to
(25:43):
do that, and if there was later a regret, or
if they're so self aware that they knew what they
were doing and they just knew that was probably the
way to get famous.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
I think it's a combination of all those things. And
you know, if it's something like if something like the
I think I'm speaking on behalf of the Bachelor producers
where there's no prize, right, I mean the prize. It's
a dating game and it's an unhinged dating game, but
it's a dating game and there's no actual money, right,
(26:14):
so on, But when you're giving away real money, the
game show police are not joking around, and because of
that whole quiz show scandal way back when where that
great Ray Fines movie was made about it. But when
they're like, so are like the producers want you to like,
(26:35):
we want people to be into the games and particise. Obviously,
we want them to participate in the competition, but like
when it comes to the when it's real money, we can't,
you know, we can't really tell them to do certain things.
So because the prize is like two or grand so
which is a lot of money. And so yeah, well
(26:55):
in those situations you can't influence. And I'll have I
have a your wig in that. They say you can't
lead anybody, you can't tell them what to do and
stuff like that. So it's yeah, so that all the
games are pretested.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I learned that whatever I did dancing with the Stars,
that they really could not help us. Or even when
I was because I did an American Idol for four years,
we could give nobody anything. It was like second grade.
If you bring candy for one kid, you got to
bring it for everybody. Like we had to make sure
because there was money, record deals, or when I was
competing dancing, they could give us nothing that everybody else
(27:28):
didn't get. And they were so stringent about it.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
They're the game show police, are they They know all
the rules of it seemed like all the rules of life.
Like they like they are good at enforcing these crazy rules.
I mean, God bless them, because they I would I
would be like, here, just take just everyone, let's just
all share, let's go. But yeah, they're they're not. Did
(27:54):
you ever see that movie Quiz Show Wave?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
I did, Yeah, I Gotta Find a Million Bucks by
the SEC a few years ago, and so I learned,
like I've not only seen the movie and understood it,
I have a relationship with the FCC now that I
don't love. So I'm very familiar with how that world works.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
You were fined a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I was, yes, what did you do?
Speaker 3 (28:14):
I'm sorry that I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
No, it's okay. It's not something that I talk about
a lot, but I'm happy to share. No, No, I'm
not scared of it. I've already been through all the
court proceedings and all the money's been paid, So I'm
all good. But so one of my jobs I do
a nationally syndicated radio show. And so I was doing
some stand up in Dallas, and I was working from
a studio down there, and it was the night of
(28:39):
the World Series and the Nationals were playing in the
World Series. I'm a big sports guy, and so there
was a home run hit during one of the games,
and as the ball was traveling out of the stadium,
they tested the EAS alert. They literally tested it as
a home run was being hit. So imagine you're watching
the World Series and it's like, all right, going, going,
(29:02):
this is a test or the and I couldn't believe
that that's when they tested it. So I'm on the air.
It was a really stupid bit. I went over to
YouTube and I grabbed a clip that was readily available
on YouTube, and I just started doing other famous moments
interrupted by the EAS practice alert. So I was like,
one small step for me, this is a test of
(29:22):
the EAS or four score and seven. Okay, dumb bit,
kind of funny, Move on with the day. Apparently, the
sound that I had taken was an active EAS tone
that locked up multiple cities. So radio stations all over
the country had now fired off the alert. Att TV
(29:43):
had locked up. What I didn't know is I that
I had taken control of all these radio stations, and
I didn't know that there was a tone at the
end that releases them. So they all stayed locked up
for eight hours because I never released the tone. So
I got fined a million bucks. Good lord, yeah, tell
me about it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I didn't even I don't even know that that is,
I don't even think, good lord, that were you ever
told about that early in broadcasting? Another way, this certain
tone is going to unlock the Jason Bourne deploy the
asset into the field if they just hear a weird noise.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Not only did they not teach me about that, I
took it from a public site, like hide that thing,
like I don't know, you don't just walk around with
the codes of the football, you know, for the nuclear
like hide that stuff that matters. But yeah, yeah, so
I was very familiar with with how the FCC and
how the quiz show finds work.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Wait, if I played that tone on on our broadcast
right now, then we could be not that I'm going,
but we could be fined.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
No, because they changed them every year or two and
then two. This was on a broadcast. I was on
like two two hundred cities at the same time, and
I fired that thing off through towers I didn't know.
And so yeah, life sucked for a life sucked for
a little bit. There.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
I got this friend, his old comedian friend from the night.
He used to do radio for years and years and years.
Whenever there would be a home run call and he
was running the board, he would always insert other sound
effects that people that he would put in cows and
machine guns and World War two airplane sounds like that's
(31:29):
bye bye baseball and never never address it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
See that's the stuff. I think it's funny right there,
like retro shout out to your buddy who used to do.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
That, Pat Cashman. Pat Cashman who was the voice of
Bill Ny the science guy way back when.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Give me the voice of the television show. Like talking
into that voice.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
He'd be like, oh Bill, Bill, now this song is good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I have a bunch of friends. I live in Nashville,
and so I have a bunch of friends that are
in the country music industry. And they played sports at
a high level and during sports at a high level,
which they played, but a lot of them did not
start as quarterback or as running back, but they had
a position on the team. But they took up music
and they would start to play music while they were
(32:14):
doing whatever sport it is. Mostly it was football, sometimes
it was baseball. When did you start doing and being
funny to where you thought you could do it? Was
it while you were playing sports?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Oh no, it Well, thank you for saying that, because
there's a lot of people that to this day disagree
that I've ever told a funny joke, but that shows
my defensecurity. No, it was I think, boy, I was
such a bad student and the only thing I was
(32:46):
good at was sports, and then I would do a
school play and I was like, Oh, this is super
fun and this is great, and that's kind of how
I escaped being I also got held back, so I
was embarrassed about that. So I just overcompensated by telling
(33:08):
jokes and throwing and chasing balls everywhere, because that's yeah,
I'm like a basically a large golden retriever. So I
think the first the first time I was ever on
stage was when I was a first grader and I
did a staged version of It's a Small World, the
(33:30):
Ride from Disney. This was at a public school, which
there's an actual play out there of that ride all World,
and I played all the little parts I play, and
and that was yeah, that was That was when I
was like, oh, this is this seems like this seems
(33:52):
like so much fun, and so I was like, I'm
gonna It wasn't basically until seventh grade that I was
like I'm going to try and do this and tell
somebody stops me. And I just yeah, I just was like,
I can't. I don't want a real job.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
What kind of numbers did you put up as a
high school ball player?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Oh, I'm I was really I walked on well when
I went when I played played college football, I walked
onto the team and I had only played freshman year
because I quit to be in plays, so walking on.
I was recruited to row at the University of Washington,
(34:32):
and that didn't go great because the university at that point,
the University of Washington at the rowing team had tons
of hazing. I mean, this is a long time I know,
I'm backing into this a very strange way, but they
I quit the team because the senior rowers surrounded another
(34:55):
freshman and I and began to hit us. So eleven
on two really great. And they had all these crazy rituals,
which they've now gotten rid of, thankfully, like they would
shave everybody's hair and eyebrows off and put their hair
into a pillow. Yes, I know what I'm saying. All
sounds very strange. And then there was a display case
of the hair pillows like a freaking serial killer. So
(35:21):
then I knew a few guys on the football team,
Damon Heward, Mark Brunner, and I was like, or I
knew Mark afterwards, but like Damon was and Ernie Conwell
were in my fraternity, also a short lived place for me,
but I ended up being friends with those guys and
then I was like, I'm gonna come out with football
and they're like, all right. And so I played for
(35:45):
two years and didn't really did not know what I
was doing that first year, and then the second year
they red shirted me, and then then I left to
go do theater. So it was all very So I
looked really good in that photo, both photo, but but
I actually never played in a game, and so that's
(36:05):
why I was. I was. I've always always referred to
myself as the greatest practicer of all time.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
It's wild that you really didn't play in high school.
I worked for the NFL and I do a show
with Matt Castle, who played for USC but he never
started in call, not a single game, and he went
to the NFL and he had a pretty good career
in the NFL. But that your story is crazier of
not playing in high school at all, and then you
end up walking on because they don't just let.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
You freshman year. Freshman year I played, which but that rushman.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Year that doesn't count. That's ninth grade. That's like three
years since you go into college. Like that's that's wild.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It was not smart.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
And my the the tight end coach was like, I'm
he was very confused, and he was like, I'm not
going to put you in because I think you're gonna
get killed. Uh. And so then I began practicing a lot,
and I knew I was getting better. I wasn't great
at all, but but then they began putting me in
(37:06):
like spring games and stuff, and that was super fun.
And I mean those guys were you know, they're the
best of their entire like they're the best in their
high school ever. And so I was just trying to
avoid getting killed, which was a really good motivator. But
I was like, I'm a good athlete and so like
(37:28):
I was good on the basketball team and stuff like that.
But yeah, no, it's not. It's not a recommended journey
to to athletic greatness, but boy it it was. It
really taught me. I know the sound now, but it
taught me. I was like, oh, these guys are working
harder than anybody I know. I was like, these guys
are this is a full time job what these guys
(37:51):
are doing, and it is dangerous and uh so when
you know, players started getting paid, I was like, great, Yeah,
these guys are building this school and so yeah, that's
a long it's a long my long, meandering explanations, but
yeah it who would Yeah, I look back on her now,
I'm like, you were insane and yeah, so it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Whenever you moved down to Los Angeles, did you finish
school and then move and and and did you do
the whole thing when you can find a crappy apartment
start from the ground up.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Well, I was very lucky because I got onto well
I married well, now it's sketch. I married my wife, Sarah,
and she was very I was before I was ever
on TV, and I got onto a TV show in
the nineties called Almost Live, which is where Bill Nye
started and where it was this. It was syndicated on
(38:43):
Comedy Central. John Keister was the host of it, and
it was a it was an odd thing. It was
an odd There was like nothing else in the nation
like it. It was a locally produced sketch comedy show
on the NBC affiliate and we would push sat it
out live to twelve oh five because it was taped
for from the East Coast obviously, so we had this
(39:06):
these huge numbers. So it was like this big hit
in Seattle and nowhere else. And I got on that show,
and so I was so lucky. And then so I
left that show, went to graduate school for acting at
the University of Washington, go Dogs. And then I had
to make a decision in two thousand with to go
(39:28):
to LA or New York. And I decided on LA
just because I really knew I wanted to be on
TV and be in movies if I could. And my
wife supported me, and so we got this apartment and
I had no job, and she worked in graphic design,
and you know, it was like two for four years.
(39:52):
Later the soup finally well that finally, but the soup
got on and then about five years a year after that,
it started really working. So I got really lucky. I
got lucky that I got on TV, but I had,
you know, my wife supported me through all of that,
so she I, yeah, I mean every she's she's very patient.
(40:15):
And now because I was five, I guess I said,
just give me five years in LA to see if
I can make it work, and if not, then I'll
go back to We'll go back to Seattle and I'll
you know, I don't know what I'll do, but I'll
figure it out.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
Let's take a quick pause for a message from our sponsor,
and we're back on the Bobby Cast.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
A lot of artists when they move here to Nashville,
they do have those years where they're trying to figure
it out and they're meeting their people and yeah kind
of understanding, they're doing songwriting nights, and like what is
that for an actor when they moved to LA, Like
those four years, what are you doing in order to
find your place.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
There? Unit? I mean obviously, you know, like there's no
the paths are all crazy, and I couldn't the path
to get to some kind of like oh it's working,
it's successful, and is all over the map. So I
joined a couple of theater groups and was like, I
just want to work, I just want to perform. So
(41:25):
I had joined this theater group called Circle X, which
is a bunch of actors from Seattle, and it was
avant garde theater. To like, they were like, we're only
doing crazy plays. So I was doing some insane plays
down here, and I was doing improv at a couple
(41:45):
different places, including Improv Olympic with a guy named Sten
Nickerson and Rugan Burns, and then I joined ACME Theater.
So I was doing everything I could, and it's the
thing where you're like, if I can just to perform
a little and get out there, and I couldn't get
an agent. So I finally got a commercial agent AKA
(42:12):
and they took They were like, they almost didn't take me.
And I'm like, had all this tape from Seattle, and
they like, it doesn't matter here. And I couldn't get
an agent, and but this commercial agency, God bless them.
I began doing commercials and I thought, I'm thirty three
and I can't get an audition. And I was like
(42:34):
and I was like, I'll just be the greatest commercial
actor of all time. And that's so I'm like, I'm
gonna do that until somebody stops me. And it wasn't
until after the Soup really that I got an agent.
I was already on TV one. I finally signed with
(42:54):
an agency. There was an agent that I signed with
that they dropped me right after there. So I got
down here to la we'll call down here because and immediately,
very luckily got on the show. And then this sounds
different than what but I got. My friend got me
an audition for Will and Grace. But you had to
(43:16):
be over six seven and I'm like six three six'
four depends on what the humidity humidity, Is AND i
wore heels to this. AUDITION i literally went to the
like to a motorcycle boot shop and bought huge heeled
boots AND i, THOUGHT i Think i'm gonna be the
(43:37):
funniest guy over six', eight HERE and i got this.
Little part, it worked and that's WHEN so, i Signed
like i've got an agent, through that and they immediately
dropped me because THEY said i wasn't. Working enough so
then finally the souper start working four years later and,
uh YEAH Then i i'm what was called hip pocketed
(43:59):
at an agent's see where they this my FRIEND who
i went to high, school with he's like he was an,
agent there and, he's, LIKE look i cannot sign you
because no one's going to be excited about. You Here
so i'm going to send you auditions here and THERE if,
I can and so. That work that ultimately WORKED and.
(44:22):
I WENT so i was paying this agency EVEN though
i was not signed, With them and so they took
me to lunch to sign me a year after the
soup was already on and so to make up for
THE commission i was already, PAYING them i just started
buying things on the MENU and i bought an eight
pound LOBSTER and I think i bought like two bottles
(44:43):
of wine. To GO so i, was, like this this
makes up For what i've been paying. You guys, but
anyway that was it's hard to well NOW when i,
Look back, i'm like, good lord that was twenty. Years
AGO like i DIDN'T have i have a twenty one
year old and a seventeen, year Old and, i'm like
where did the? Time go? What happened how did the suit? Come?
Speaker 1 (45:00):
Together then how did it come about if you didn't
have an agent pointing you in? A, DIRECTION.
Speaker 3 (45:05):
Well i had this commercial agent and they were getting
me out TO like I Did burger, KING ads i
did a, McDonald's ad i did a bunch of bunch
of spots for a million, different things and that. Was
working but they this Woman Named annie roberts who WORKED
At e she would see actors in commercials and then
(45:29):
she would be like she would contact my like my
commercial agent and, be like can you bring in these
six actors and we're going to have them do talking
head stuff For like e's ease one hundred and one.
Nightclub whoopsies and they'd, be LIKE here's i, Don't know.
(45:49):
I'm here here's a bono coming out of a Club In,
new york his. Shirts untucked make. A COMMENT and i
started doing stuff like that, and that and then and
then there Was a it Wasn't Called the soup when,
it started but they, were like we want to do
a show about make fun of, reality shows and we
(46:11):
want to do something, like that But Not the Soup
Because talk soup was had been canceled. By then and
then we so this show was Called the What. The,
awards yes it's the worst title for a show you've,
ever heard because it was supposed to be What the
hell Or the What The, fuck awards and they dropped that,
word out but it Didn't make when you would hear,
the title you'd, be like what, the wait what? Is

(46:52):
i mean, Excuse me friday nights at ten when nobody WAS,
watching tv no one was, watching cable and we just
slowly watered that little piece of the garden we had

Roberts whom i've never met in. My life IN an,
(47:13):
e interview this reporter came up to ME at e, and,
Said Hey julia roberts told me that she watches your show,
every week But don't she, was like she said, it
offhandedly like after, the interview and she, was, LIKE oh i.
WATCHED that i watched that soup SHOW and i think they,
heard that and, we're, Like Fuck, julia roberts watch. It
(47:33):
great And then i've never. MET her i Don't, so
julia if you're out, there listening if you're out, there watching,
thank you thank you. So MUCH and i would love
to do a Sequel to My Best friend's wedding or.
Speaker 1 (47:46):
Whichever one was there a point where you started to
get recognized a little bit where you started to realize
there was some. Traction, happening, yeah yeah it took A
little there was a COUPLE of.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
Tv WRITERS but I remember i was at A restaurant
aroma Here In. STUDIO city i was sitting at a
TABLE and i remember hearing a, person, go hey we
