Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome everybody to the Paparazzi Podcast. I am Jedi, he
is Mark. I hope you're all well. Hope you will
have a great Thanksgiving. I am very thankful, so Mark.
I'm thankful for all of you, and I'm thankful to
be doing another podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah. I mean we just had a birthday, right, happy
birthday to us. Yeah, incredible three whatever you want to
call it.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Six years, six years of the Paparazzi Podcast. You you
were doing it a long time before me. Congratulations, Well
just just a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, everybody wants to go back and start from the
beginning and hear what he's talking about when when I
was without Jedi. Those are some strange episodes.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
There's some gold though. I loved it. I got listening,
I got hooked. I came on as a guest and
I never left.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, So happy anniversary, Happy six years. Jedi asked me
the other day, how many years do you think it is,
and I said three. Turns out it's double at good podcasting.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, time flies when you're having fun.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, how are you? I'm good? A lot of stuff
going on. I mean, this past week probably wasn't as
good as it could have been no productions. So I
was out there just doorstep and Margot Robbie who never
leaves her house, oh jeez, and uh looking for some

(01:26):
looking for some clickbait. I don't know if you know
about the clickbaits these days, but it's the old people
that are irrelevant, that are unrecognizable that everybody's running around
trying to get photos of for some clickbait.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I used to do a lot of that. When I
was at the last agency I was with in La,
did a lot of a lot of old people. All
I do was old people, Brad Pitt and Britney Spears.
So I've done a lot of that. Do you know
who this is? Guess who it is? And a lot
of the time I was shooting them not knowing who
the fuck it is and if it's even the right person,

(02:02):
because they weren't relevant for like thirty years. Aw, let's
a loving that ship right now. Did you see the
one the other day? It was the most ridiculous Do
you recognize this person? Ever? Because I pity a fool
that couldn't guess who it was. Yeah, the dude looks
exactly the same. How is that like I was?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
And who got it. It was I think the Mighty Giles.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I can't remember. It was either London Entertainment, Coleman, Rainer,
or background. It was one of one of those.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
It might have been common. Yeah, so that's basically what
you do now. So you you you spend your days
off or or your time off, watching old nineties and
eighties movies and then searching where the people live now
or if they're relevant, or if they've been, or if
they have an Instagram or anything. If they're active on Instagram,
they're not that great for the clickbait.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
No, that's so funny. I can't believe, like we my
old agency we were that's exactly what we were doing.
That's like what we were known for. Yeah, I remember,
And now now everybody's jumping on that trend again.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, it's it's kind of funny and everybody's scrambling to
do it. I was looking for the baby in Three
Men in a Baby's Address, which also felt kind of
weird because as I was thinking of, oh, should I
check to see who this person is or where they
are now, it was the scene of them holding up
the baby naked and the baby's ass was in the

(03:37):
on the camera and I'm like, it's kind of awkward
that I'm looking for the adult version of the ass
I'm looking at right.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Now, and they would be unrecognizable. But this time of year,
with the holidays coming up, we always used to go
after like obscure people in Home Alone, or a Chris
A story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, any of those kind

(04:05):
of odd characters. Like I remember, for months, not months,
like weeks or days, I was set on the wrong
address for Ralphie from a Christmas story. Those ones are
always really good at this time of year. You know,
you know what what would be good, and hopefully you
can go and get this set before the podcast comes out.

(04:27):
You know the movie Love Actually, I actually do the
little girl at the end who sings the Mariah Carey
song All I Want for Christmas is ye okay, because
that runs every single year, just like what is she
up to now? And I'll use like something to were Instagram,
so a perhaps set of that. There you go, I
expect somebody's already up to up to that.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I actually love that movie.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I do as well. It's one of my all time favorites.
I'm a cheesy britt. It's it's a I think we
talk about this every year on the pod as well
for the last five years, Like you know, the brit
moves to America and gets all the babes. Only happens
in the movies.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Well the movies in Dead Eye's Life. Yeah, I wanted
to do a Marx Remarx. I was something was bothering
me the other day. I was working in Beverly Hills
and I'm walking around Beverly Hills, which I don't normally do,
but I was walking around and I just noticed this
trend and it's a trend that's been around for a
long time. But the tight jeans that dudes wear, yep,

(05:33):
and then the phones and the wallets they have in
their tight jeans and the keys. Right, Like for me,
it's all about like minimal, you know, Like I want
my phone to be as thin as possible so it
doesn't boulge out of my pocket. You know. I even
have my my credit cards and my and my debit card,
my ID into the back of my phone case, so

(05:55):
that's just all one thing so I don't have to
carry something extra, right, And then I have a key
fob that I have my home key actually, like slides
into my my key fob with my little case on it.
So I have like two things in my pocket, right,
and they do not bulge out even if I were
to be wearing something tight. But I noticed an obscene

(06:16):
amount of men that were walking around with these skinny
jeans with these huge bulges coming from their jeans, but
not from where you come from. You know, it's like
they're emphasizing the bulges in their pockets, and you know,
you would think that they'd be wanting to emphasize the
the other bulge, but that looks small, and all their

(06:39):
stuff in their pockets looks big.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
My jeans aren't skinny, but my bulges are big.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah. See, yeah, people need better bulge placement, right.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I mean, I I'm one of these people that still
has a big, fat wallet. I have my wallet in
my right pocket and my phone in my left pocket
and are both big and bulky.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
But you're not. You're not a bold guy like you
don't You're not walking around with huge bulge coming out
of each one of your pockets, right, No I am,
Oh you are. You're one of them?

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, I'm one of them. I'm not. My jeans are skinny,
but my bulges are big, old and I'm sorry. Yeah, So,
I mean, this thing's fucking ginormous, my phone, and I've
got a big fat case on it so it doesn't break,
and I just and even though I use Apple Pay,
I still carry everything like in a big fat wallet. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Why why does everybody carry all this stuff? Still?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I don't know. Well, I've got I've got my my ID,
my Global entry, my Green card, four credit cards, three
debit cards, my Triple A, my health insurance card, my
hunter's license. That's about it. So that's a lot of
shit in there.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I guess the life of a traveling photojournalist needs more
than what I'm doing right now. I've even gotten got
to the point where I take my case off my
phone and I only I have it like in my car.
So like when I actually am gonna need a card,
because normally it's just Apple Pay everywhere, you know, scanning, tapping, whatever.
But when I need to, I'll just grab it like

(08:15):
a wallet and I'll slap it to the back of
the phone and then I'll have that, you know. But
most of the time I'm carrying around my phone just naked,
you know.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Anyway, it's a it's it's a big deal in in
Beverly Hills. It's almost like a bulge competition. Yeah, but
Barry Cogan was there again. Ah yeah, got Barry again.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I saw he put out a statement earlier today he
deleted his Instagram and he's getting been getting a fuck
load of backlash after him and Sabrina Carpenter ended their relationship.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yeah, people are psycho.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
That's exactly what he says in this in this statement.
I oh really, Yeah, he's like people are fucking nuts,
Like people are saying all sorts of shit about me,
all these rumors, all these horrible things, YadA, YadA, YadA.
My kid's gonna grow up reading this one day, Like
fucking relax, everybody.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, exactly. No, I don't blame him at all. Yeah.
So it was the same stuff that I got him
on before the crime one on one set. He was
doing the same thing on the bike. We were talking.
We talked about that last episode, didn't we.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Yeah, but that stuff's topic, like pictures of him a
topical now, So you'll probably get some some after set
sales because he's like newsworthy right now.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
Yeah, I'm hoping so because backgrad. I know got him
pretty much around the same time that I got him,
but I put mine out and they probably were just
hanging onto theirs because they had so many sets of him,
and I think they put out a set of the
statements after the breakup and they kind of cleaned up
for that kind of stuff. I was a little suspect
on that. Yeah, it was interesting though, scene that I

(10:00):
was shooting him. He was parked between two of the
worst pap photographer Nemesis is in our business, and I
just felt like it was ironic that this scene they
were doing was exactly how this was. But he was
between a FedEx truck and a UPS truck.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Just the worst enemies. Just the amount of times that
a perfect shot has been blocked and ruined because UPS
or FedEx have pulled up to drop off the package.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Well, what was funny about this situation, Jedi is I
was parked in my car. I was shooting out my
window right. It was a scene of him getting to work,
but he was parked between these two trucks and he
was changing into like his workoutfit, and then I couldn't
see any of that because that was all happening between
the trucks, but then he would step out and he'd
cross the street and I put these pictures up on

(10:51):
the Instagram and the videos so people could see it.
So I couldn't see what he was doing between the
two trucks, but he, you know, he popped out after
about I don't know, thirty seconds of whatever he was doing.
But between takes, he walked back behind the trucks onto
the sidewalk and got adjusted and you know, make up,
you know, kind of adjusted and stuff like that. And
there was a really good shot of him with his

(11:11):
shirt off that he only took it off for like
a minute, but it was a good shot. And as
I was picking up my camera to shoot it, a
car pulled in front in between me and him to
park in this red spot like a FedEx truck would
do right. And I'm just pissed off because they blocked
the entire shot. I couldn't get it. And then he

(11:32):
put his shirt on, but they as the guy got out,
you know, and he goes to talk to the crew
because the crew is kicking him out because he's not
supposed to be parking there. The crew gets on the
radio and they say why he's there, and he's delivering
a FedEx package. Oh no, shit, he's like a driver,
like a holiday driver. Yeah, packages in his normal car.
You know, FedEx strikes again without the FedEx truck.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh man.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
But yeah, those shots were kind of cool. I didn't
really see him too many places. And really, the only
other thing that I got this week or since the
last podcast was Sarah Paulson. She's on a She's on
a movie set that also stars Kim Kardashian.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Oh, another American horror story or one of those things.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Something like that. I think. I think it's a Ryan
Murphy and it stars her, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Nissi Nash,
Kim Kardashian, Ed O'Neill. So yeah, big cast. And it
turns out I've had the info on this for a month.
When I saw Sarah Pulson, I knew what was going on.

(12:38):
So my eyes are kind of open for this again,
but I have a feeling they're probably nearing considering how
long this has been on my lists. Yeah, and I haven't,
you know, I've kind of ignored it and didn't really
know what it was.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah. I remember seeing pictures of Kim like a month
or so ago on the set.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, so that was kind of a bummer. And yeah,
that's it. I've I actually picked up a couple of
day rates. Oh, there you go, a couple of Jedi raids.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
There you go. It's always good.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I can't really I don't know if I could really
say what they were because there might be more usage. Yeah,
giving it up. You can reveal that at some point sometime.
But yeah, that's pretty much it. That's all I've got
over the last couple of weeks. I know you've been
a little busy, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I've been relatively busy. Last time we spoke, I was
in Columbia, South Carolina, awaiting the parole hearing of Susan Smith.
I think we spoke the day before the parole hearing.
So the parole hearing came up. The ex husband showed
up as expected and nailed him going in, nailed him leaving.

(13:52):
I was on for Fox News. They were really happy
with what I got. YadA, YadA, yadda, And then I
was still staying there for staying there the night after
that happened. So as I do when I'm in a
foreign city for me, in a differenty other than home,
I go on the game Time app to see if

(14:13):
there's any sports events going on in the area or
any concerts going on, just you know, if that's something
I like, I'll go and hang out and go and
watch something. So I go on the app and Pink
had the last concert of her tour five minutes away
from my hotel, also known as Stink Stink Stink So

(14:39):
and the tickets were going for as little as eighteen dollars.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
So I purchased an eighteen dollar ticket. It was thirty
thirty minutes to showtime, and I made my way down
to whatever the little center it was that she was
playing it. And you know what, for her being a
stinky as she is, she was fucking brilliant.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Yeah, she doesn't think of performing.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
No an absolutely probably one of the best life concerts
I've been to. She interacts with the crowd a bunch,
tons of talking, tons of stories. She was funny, charming,
and then you know she does all that acrobatic crazy ship. Yeah.
I can't talk too much shit on it. Really it was.
It was really good, really fun.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
I mean, the last thing I saw about her, it
must have been on an Instagram post or something like that,
but she was you know, the the cameras that they
have for like the NFL, the oh yeah, the overhead cans, yeah,
the ones above everybody. Right, and she's strapped to like
one of those things, right, and they're just kind of
pulling her around the stadium. Is She's like, yeah, flipping

(15:46):
around and stuff, right.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah. And she was like on a bungee and bouncing
everywhere and then swirling and spinning upside down kind of
like a.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Like a like a pop star version of Tommy Lee exactly. Yeah.
It was.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
It was fucking It was fucking nuts. It was a
real good, energetic show. Everybody was singing and dancing. I
was just kind of stood there. But it was fun.
It was really fun. And I mean we will We've
probably told Pink stories a bunch of times over the years,
but I've never really had a negative experience of photographing her.

(16:19):
Last time I got her probably three summers ago in Malibu.
She had a beach house there for a minute, and
I'd get her at the Rouse shopping all the time.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah. I've had a lot of experience with Pink, some good,
some bad, some almost fighting with Kerry Hart. Yeah, lots
of interactions with her because she used to live down
in Venice, and I used to bump into her a
lot there. But yeah, you never know. She's one of
those where you never know what pink you're going to

(16:52):
get that day.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, you never know what shade of pink you're going
to get.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
But I've always respected her as a as an artist
and as a you know, as a former stuff. She's
good to be able to like flip around and do
all those acrobatics and stuff and still sing and sound
good fucking bananas.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Yeah, it's absolutely unbelievable. So I hadn't i'd been I
went on another job in the middle of that one,
and the next story I'm going to tell, but just
nothing happened, unfortunately. But then my last job, but not
one on one now, but the one prior it was
I was away for Thanksgiving, which is always tough to

(17:29):
be away from family during the holidays and my favorite
time of the year. My favorite meal of the year
is always Thanksgiving. I did have some great food. So
I was sent to guess where where I've been the
most this fucking year. I was sent to Nantucket. I

(17:53):
think it was my seventh time this year that I've
been there.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Now, yeah, you need to move in.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, and this time it wasn't Bill Belichick and his
very young girlfriend Jordan Hudson. It was for the commander
in chief, Donald Trump. No, he's the president in waiting.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
It was.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Biden still apparently all that guy.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Okay, sorry, I totally apparently. I haven't heard or seene
anything about him except for your pictures last week. Yeah,
I didn't know if he was still doing that job.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yes, So I got Thanksgiving was Thursday. I got to
Nantucket on on the Wednesday, I think the day before,
which is the same day he got there. And it's
an absolute thrill to work on a president or an
ex president, it really is. It gets me going, man,
it's fucking it's so exciting. Like everybody knows who they are, literally,

(18:51):
like everybody knows who they are, and like pictures of
them doing anything makes it's it's a fucking thrill. The
Secret Service everywhere me asking them for pins and getting
denied left, right, center, and it's just fun. There's a buzz,
there's a buzz about it. So Thanksgiving was an absolute

(19:11):
wash out on Nantucket. It rained and it poured and
it was fucking miserable. And Biden always travels with a
press pack, like a bunch of reporters who go within
everywhere pretty much, and three to four photographers that travel
with him as well and get access, you know, better

(19:33):
access than I get. So Thursday Thanksgiving, he arrived at
the local fire station with pies but everybody what works there,
But he went in round the back and I didn't
see anything. All I saw was the motorcade basically. So

(19:54):
I was stood outside in the pouring rain and the
wind again, absolutely so wet, and I was fucking miserable.
And and years gone by when Biden's visited from the
fire station, he's come out of the front and kind
of waved to everybody and you know, done all that shit.
But as it was pouring with rain, he didn't. He

(20:16):
was in and out at the back like and ten
minutes later he was gone. So I got absolutely nothing,
and then you know he was done for the day.
We get kind of like a rough schedule of what
he's planning to do for the day, and they you know,
he was put to bed basically after after that. And
it was it was before noon, and I had no

(20:37):
plans for the rest of the day other than at
dinner with a bunch of the White House, reporters and
staff of the White House. Later on that evening an
eighteen person dinner, but that wasn't until seven pm or
eight pm, and it was noon and I was still hungry.
So I actually found a really good local spot that
did a Thanksgiving buffet and it was the same spot

(21:00):
the cater for all of the Secret Service on the
island as well for their Thanksgiving. So I absolutely filled
my boots the biggest play of food you've ever seen,
all the trimmings in Turkey. And then I went back
and had all the trimmings again with prime prime rib. Wow,
fucking stunning. And then later on that evening I had
all the trimmings again with a steak. So I was

(21:23):
in a food comba on the Friday, but I couldn't
be in that coma for too long because Biden had
a full day. So uh, Friday afternoon, he again he's
done this in trips past as well, he goes for
lunch with his family with Jill Biden, Hunter, Biden and

(21:45):
Ashley as well and Hunter's little kid Bo. So they
went to a place called the Brotherhood of Feeds for
their for their Friday lunch. The Brotherhood of what of thieves,
thieves feeds. Yeah, so Secret Service closed off the whole

(22:05):
street like it's an absolute fucking pain in the bulls
to get anything. I was able to get bits and pieces.
He was in there for ninety minutes or so, and
then after after a lunch, they walked the streets. Him
and Hunter went to a Angil actually went to a
book shop, and then they went in a bunch of

(22:26):
other shops as as well. So great pictures of that.
Nice pictures. And then they went to a Christmas tree lighting,
which I get they shut off so I can't get
anywhere near it. But all the White House photographers are
just absolutely nailing great stuff. So that was the Friday,
and I just remember something else. Let me go back

(22:47):
to the Wednesday. So I got there on a Tuesday.
I got there on a Tuesday, and they got there
on a Tuesday as well, And it was the Wednesday
where the first dead pictures came in that I got.
So Jill, Jill, Biden and Ashley actually went shopping on
the Wednesday. They hit up like about a dozen different
different stores and I got pictures. Well, they went into

(23:11):
a lingerie store, so I managed to get pictures of
Jill Biden coming out of the lingerie store with like
the models in the window wearing all their like frilly
panties and brassiers, and so we did like a really
fun it was exclusive as well, so we did a
real fun story on like what she's getting Joe for Christmas,

(23:31):
Lucky Joe. You know he's not going to be sleeping now,
this is going to wake him up kind of things.
That was quite funny. That was quite funny. And then
on the Saturday, we had the schedule that basically all
he was going to do, all the family were going
to do was go to church for a five o'clock
service and then fly off of the island at seven pm.

(23:56):
So we basically had a not a free day, but
we knew that they weren't going to be doing anything
in town and they stay at a beach house, like
a super private, thirty million dollar beach house with its
own private beach. So we'd we'd rented a jeep and
we had a sand permit on it so we could
go on the sand and because if you drive like

(24:18):
eight miles out to a point, there's a view on
there over to their house, it's zero points seventy five
miles away, so it's quite quite a long shot. So
we we we go to this it's on a nature
at nature refuge, and you have to let down the
jeep tires to a certain amount of PSI so you
can drive on the on the sand. So we let

(24:41):
the tires down, put it into four wheel drive, and
drive for like forty forty five minutes out to this point.
And we're sitting there for like an hour, hour and
a half. Nothing happens, and all of a sudden, I'm
looking through my lens the whole time, I've got the
five and a doubler on there, and I see two
or three Secret Service agents come out. Fuck, something's happening.

(25:05):
And then I see four people come down to the beach,
and to be honest, I'm still not sure who I photographed.
I'm pretty sure it was one of them was Jill Biden.
One of them was Ashley Biden, the daughter who was
like collecting shells. And then there was a Secret Service agent.
And then I mean I thought it was the President

(25:26):
to start with, but he was navigating the beach too
well for it to be him, So I'm still not sure.
I'm still not sure whether it was hunter or a
secret Service agent, because the pictures are that buzzy because
it was so far away, so windy, and just just
a horrible haze on the pictures. But I got that
set as well, which was really nice. So I ended

(25:47):
up with, you know, four or five different sets from
the Thanksgiving trip, and everybody was really happy with everything
I did, so that was always good. It was all
very good. That takes us to where I am now.
I am in Minneapolis at the moment. There was a
big story earlier on this week where the United Healthcare

(26:11):
CEO was assassinated, Brian Thompson was assassinated in New York City,
and he's from here. His home is here, his his
ex wife is here, his family are here. So I've
been covering that for the last three or four days,
following any leads and picking up on anything that's coming

(26:32):
out from this end. It all seems to be coming
out of New York at the moment. You know, they're
still looking for the assassin. But you know's another huge
story that I'm fortunate enough to be able to cover.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, yeah, is there anything? Is there anything you've heard
that no one else has heard?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
No, nothing, but I did see. I'm very active on
Twitter of these days, and I did. I went down
the rabbit hole of reading everything about it on there,
and I saw somebody that was on the news. And
these aren't my thoughts or my opinions, It's just something
I read. There was a guy on one of the
one of the talking heads news shows, remember which one

(27:17):
right now, but he was he came up with a
with a theory that you know, this guy was the CEO,
was kind of a bad guy, was a bunch of
lawsuits coming up and whatever, and he came up with
a theory that maybe he called in the assassination attempt
on himself to get his family all of the insurance

(27:41):
money life insurance is and all that kind of thing.
And I was like, oh, fuck, yeah, I've not seen
that anywhere else. And you can never say never these days,
right Well.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
And also, I'll tell you one thing, after watching movies
where that where those types of scenes have been right,
And just in discussions over the years of you know,
that subject ever coming up or something like that, I've
heard people say many times on these you know, in
this kind of a conversation, I don't want to see

(28:14):
it coming Yeah, do it, but I don't want to
see it coming. And that's how that guy totally did that.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
He just came up to him on the street. He
would have never seen him coming, and he shot him
from there. You know. So that's actually kind of suspect
right there.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
It is, mate, it really is. And this is going
to flow in beautifully to a watcher watch and that
we're going to talk about when we come back after
this shortbreak.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
Oh, we might be watching the same show. I hope so,
because I was going to mention something too, But I
already know who the assassin. The assassin is, surely sure,
there's been speculation about there, but I saw it the

(28:58):
first time they showed his entire face. It's Jake Jillenhall.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
It looks nothing like him.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
It looks exactly like him.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
No, they got they got different noses.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I know. I'm just kidding that. I just saw that
on Daily Mail trying to you know, a lot of
people are saying, Jake Jillenhanan, who was the other one?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
They said, I don't know, but you know what I
saw today in New York City they had an assassin
lookalike contest. Well, loads of people came out and dressed
as him and just to see who looked the most
like him, which is kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
That's hilarious. I'm going to talk to you about that
off camera. I think it's kind of funny. But let's
take a break and we come back. We'll finish this
thing up.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
They are back.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yes, we are a story. What's up?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
You think we're watching the same thing?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
Well, I had a story real quick. Before we get
into what you're watching, I'll tell you what I watched
the other day, not on TV, but live in front
of my house at six am.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Six a m.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yeah, six am SpaceX no. So I'd just woken up.
I'm sitting on the couch just kind of going through
my phone, half half asleep. You know, I haven't got
my coffee yet or anything. And you know, we leave
a window open that's you know, in the front room

(30:23):
that's up high. You know, it's up so you can
hear things and stuff and and you know, get a
little ventilation whatever. But I hear a noise that I
heard a couple of years ago. It's a very unique noise,
a very specific noise that if you know it, you
know exactly what's going on. It's a sawing sound. Oh,
sawing through metal?

Speaker 1 (30:43):
What the fuck?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
It's a sound that it's the sound you hear of
someone stealing a catalytic converter. No, yes, and I've heard it.
I heard it two years ago when my neighbor across
the street in one house up was getting there stolen
and and I just yelled out my front door because
the way our neighborhood is, if you yell out your door,

(31:06):
you don't know where the noise is coming from, and
it echoes through the through the homes, so it's real loud,
and you can get it, you know, you can. You
can get the point across without people don't really know it.
And I just yelled to him like good, got here,
you know. And they took off and they didn't get
the catalytic converter. They got about halfway through the pipe.
But I heard the sawing, and so I looked outside

(31:29):
and it was my neighbor directly next door to me.
They were stealing it from under his Toyota tundra is like,
you know, two thousand and fifteen whatever, Toyota tundra. And
they were in some sort of like a maybe like
a Ford expedition or something like that. But as the
guy was sawing, so I looked at I opened my

(31:50):
blinds and I looked out on my blinds, and I
saw a guy come around, like the watch guy come
around the outside of the car, and he pulls out
a gun and cocks it. What the fuck like a
nine milimeter like a glock or something like that. And
I was like, oh shit, this is some serious shit here.
You know, you should have fuck hosted. Well. I immediately

(32:11):
grabbed my phone, and but the thing is, the guy's
got a gun, right, so I don't want him looking
up at me out the window or something like that.
So I kind of crept over to my front door,
and like where my front door is. I wanted to
just crack it open, because if I could crack it open,
I could see right where they are and I could
eat a shot or a video or something. But as

(32:31):
you know, the ten seconds it took me to do that,
I opened up the door, the guys were gone. Everybody
was gone. I didn't even hear the car pull away.
It was weird, really weird, I do. So, yeah, they've
they've picked up all the everybody's ring doorball though the
whole street has ring doorbells except for the one that stolen,

(32:53):
but they probably wouldn't be able to see it anyway
because they have a fence and whatever. But uh, turns
out my neighbor heard it happening too, because his office
is in his garage, and he came out to see
what was going on. And what I witnessed was the
guy pulling the gun on my neighbor and shit, yeah,

(33:13):
so he came around. He came around his house to
see what's going on. The guy pointed the gun at him,
and he just backed up and went back into his house,
you know, just kind of put his hands up and
like went back, you know. Fuck. Yeah, we called the cops.
The cops came. They because there was a gun involved,
they had to do a full crime scene investigation. You know.
They had the crime unit out.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
Here looking like the fucking rookie down in else the gun.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Do Yeah exactly. So that was pretty interesting. Just another
day in La really. Shit, won't be the last, that
is the first, won't be the last.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Yeah, scary.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Luckily I have an electric car with no catalytic converter.
There you go, that's right, one of the advantages. So yeah,
I think we might be watching the same show because
you're thinking that, because what I was going to say was,
you know, before the Jake Jonehall joke tanked, I was
gonna I was going to say, there's a scene in

(34:12):
the show that I'm watching where the guy looks exactly
like that guy right in episode four. I don't know
if that's where you're at in your show.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I'm one episode seven and.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Are we talking about the jackal Oh?

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Mate, I fucking love it. It's so good, and that
there's so many comparisons to being a photographer, Oh my god,
and being an assassin in h In episode three, when
he's talking to his wife'd like, I don't know what
you do. I don't know where you are. When are

(34:48):
you coming home? I don't know. I'm like, I've had
this conversation with my wife so many fucking times. It
was literally word for word the same conversation. It was
so funny.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Yeah, I had either the same experience with that that
Fastbender movie that came out a couple of like two
years ago or whatever. He played the same pretty much
the same kind of a guy, but he's just you
saw that movie, right, Yeah, it's I think it's Michael
Fastbender and he's he just basically is an assassin, same

(35:23):
type of thing. You know, he's he's shooting the rifle
from long distances, waiting and waiting, but he's just narrating
through it what he does while when he sits and
he waits in his car and he sits in it.
It's very similar to what we do as well, because
that's essentially what we're doing. You know, we're waiting to
get somebody in the sights of our scope, but we're

(35:44):
taking a picture rather than killing him.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, we're also waiting to shoot.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
I mean, they don't try it any differently. They think
we're trying to Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I mean, look, I've been in positions with very prominent people,
like the last couple of years where if I was,
you know, in that other if I had, if I
was the jackal, I could have like taken out a
lot of a lot of prominent bodies. And if there's

(36:14):
any secret service with Department of Home and Security listening,
I'm definitely not that person I am. I'm a photographer
with a camera.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
But yeah, and if there's any directors listening, here's a
new movie scene for you. At the guy dresses up
like a photographer and acts like a pap or acts
like a photojournalist, gets close to the president, and he's
got a gun inside of his camera.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Yeah, how about that exactly. It's not far off. But yeah,
I'm really enjoying the show. I actually got recommended it
by a reporter friend of mine yesterday actually, and he's like, yeah,
you're gonna love it. It's a it's a great show.
FA's paced. You didn't really tell me much else about it,

(36:56):
And I started it yesterday and I've just just every
spare second I've had, like in between the break of
the you know, the first part of the Pond, the
second I was watching it then as well, I can't
get enough of it. Yeah, it's great. And you know what,
it's kind of like Killing Eve. When I watched Killing Eve,
I was rooting for Eve. I was rooting for the assassin,

(37:20):
you know, and I'm in this. I'm also rooting for
the assassin. I don't know if we're supposed to, but struck,
it struck a chord with me and I I feel
attached to the assassin.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah, yeah, no, other than other than the scene of
him dialing in the scope on that two mile shot
where he took the shot on the wall up above
him when he was watching the bird as he was driving,
and then crashes into the back of that scene. Yeah,
has been my two of my favorite scenes of that. Yeah,

(37:53):
you know, yeah, no, it's fantastic.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
And like I said, you know, he's honing it, you know,
he's lining up the show a two miles shot to
take out the guy and as me across the bay
from a president of the United States, you know, screwing
my my doubler onto my my lens and putting onto
the camera and doing the same thing, just like getting
them in my sight. And it's I'm really enjoying it. It's

(38:20):
it's a great comparison to what we do.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Absolutely, I can't remember what that fucking movie was called.
I think I recommended you watch it when I saw it.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Like probably, Well, I just don't watch movies.

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, I know, but this is a movie. If you
like The Jackal, this would be definitely a similar thing
that you would like to watch. You know.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
It's called The Killer.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
The Killer, that's it. Yeah, Yeah, just the first scene alone,
it's like a long opening scene where he has to
wait like three days for this I've seen it.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I saw it. I did see it. You told I
enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah, we talked about it, I think right, Yeah, yeah,
I enjoyed it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
When we were talking before we started recording, we were
talking about Landman.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Yeah something. Well, where can we see that? Sorry? The
Jackal is streaming for everybody in the US is streaming
on Peacock, and I think it's on Sky in the UK.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
I've come up with a new term for US promographers.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Promographers, pornographers. Promographers promographers not to be confused with pornographers.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yes, because you're not. You're not exactly a paparazzi anymore.
So you're not promarazi like me when I work on
the movie sets and stuff. But when if we're photographers
that are promoting these things, you know, and you're I
mean you're straight up telling them where to find these things.
We're promoting the shit out of this you know. Are
you know sixty thousand listeners that are out there, you
know they are going to go and watch this show

(39:50):
because of us. We are promo photographers, promoting promographers, promographers.
They a hashtag. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
When I go down to the hotel bar and it's
my dinner and beer. What are you doing? Oh, I'm
here for work. I'm a promote, I'm a promote. I'm
a promo grapher promoter.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
See it's hard to start saying it, but once you
get your tongue right, you'll be able to do it.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, I'm a promographer. Exactly what is that? It's a
photographer that promotes everything.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
You know well, and remember we're also public investigators, very much, sir. Right,
these are all terms that people need to just understand,
you know. Sorry, we're not just pats, dirty paps. We
do it. We do a lot of shit for people anyway.
Land Man, Land Loving land Man. It's about the oil industry.

(40:43):
It's a Tailor Sheridan show. You know, Yellowstone, Lioness, Tulsa King.
He's really the only stuff other than The Jackal, which
is phenomenal. And I should find out who's writing that show. Yeah,
the Taylor Sheridan shows just don't go wrong at all.
And honestly, if you like the Jackal, you'll love liness.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
But land Man paramount plus huh.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
In one of the first episodes, there's a monologue that
I put up on our YouTube page of Billy Bob Thornton.
He does about a minute monologue about the oil industry
versus the electric industry. It's over twenty one thousand views
at the moment.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Oh damn. There's a good cast for this show as well.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Wow, very good cast. Everybody's you know, is good in
their roles. But I mean, other than it's a Taylor
Sheridan show, and it's just really got good writing and
good acting. It's very interesting because it's a lot of
stuff that you think you know about, you know, the
petroleum industry and stuff, but a lot yeah, more like
kind of behind the scenes of the workers, the people

(41:49):
that are behind it. What it takes to put that
gas in your car, you know, and and what it
costs you know, because it costs lives, it costs money,
it costs alls. And how much all those motherfuckers are
fucking making off a batch. Yeah, no shit, you know
what I mean. And me driving an electric car. Now,
when you drive an electric car, you're already in that

(42:11):
box of you're putting that box of Oh you're trying
to save the planet. Oh, you're fucking batteries they're just
as bad for the fucking as as oil. I don't
give a shit about I'm not trying to save any
fucking planets with my electric car. It just makes more
sense driving around LA. Yeah, especially when you get two
years free charging. But it's definitely a good contrast between

(42:32):
the two, and it starts a big controversy. That's why
that thing has twenty one thousand views, is because everybody's
arguing over the fact of electric versus oil. It's pretty funny.
So yeah, any of those shows Landman and Ali Larder,
just for anybody who cares out there. Ali Larder, I think,
does our first nude scene in Landman, and you know,

(42:57):
if you're like me, but forty well along those lines,
a forty eight year old who saw her in Varsity
Blues with.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
The whipped cream bikini.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
I remember bikini. You always wanted to see her nude
and she finally gives it to those those people who
were waiting for that incredible She really needed a big
paycheck on this one.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
I haven't really got much else said. I've got a
couple of exciting projects in the works over the next
couple of weeks I'm hoping do actually happen. Obviously, can't
talk about them now because because there could be somebody
else jumping it by the time they listened to this
and hear it. Yeah, a lot some promising little things

(43:47):
coming up. But I'm gonna go to go to the
Mall of America in a minute, get some steps in,
all right, do some Christmas shopping.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Oh yeah, I mean we're better to do Christmas shopping
than all of America.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
Right, yeah, I love it over there.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
The question is what are you getting your podcast co
hosts for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
I'm going to give you a high five through the
computer you'll get You'll get that in in a couple
of weeks for Christmas. Okay, yeah, oh you know what's
what's what's happening tomorrow? My Buffalo Bills are playing the
Rams down in La.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
My quarterback this week got engaged or got engaged? Last
week Josh Allen got engaged Hayley Steinfeld.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Oh yeah, now we can talk kind of big news.
Now we can talk football in the podcast because it's
celebrity related exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
So that was kind of kind of big news.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
And and I did watch the trailer for Enigma. Did
you see that Enigma? I did?

Speaker 1 (44:50):
I really want to see it.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Speaking of of course, yeah, I mean you you have,
even if you hate Aaron Rodgers, you have to watch
it just to make fun of them exactly.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
The guy's a fucking looney to him, and the Jets
are fucking just awful.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Yeah, And coming off of this kind of a season
where it's just so controversial and how he just kind
of blew it and he kind of sucks and they
kind of suck, and everybody kind of sucks. To come
out with this thing, you know, talking about, you know,
trying to find his edge and all that kind of stuff.
It's just gonna make him look even worse.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Absolutely, And you know what, Aaron Rodgers and the Jets
come into Buffalo December twenty ninth, so I'll be at
the airport the day before to get some pictures of Rogers.
So I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, No, I'm looking forward to Enigma. I'm looking forward
to see how Josh Allen, you know, handles this kind
of attention over the next, you know, rest of the season.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
People have suggested like that I go and work him,
and like, there's no way I am not working my quarterback.
He is on fucking fire right now. I don't need
him to see me get pissed off and have that
lingering thought in his head. Is this guy following me
like I need him to just I need him to
go about businesses as normal and bring a Super Bowl

(46:09):
to bow.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Jedi, You're going about this all wrong, dude. You need
to be working on him. No way, Josh, how you doing.
I'm Jedi? Okay, and you give him you give him
the mark speech man. You just go up to him
and say, I'm Jedi. You're you know, I'm a photographer.
I'm from LA, I'm from here, I live here now,
I'm the I'm a huge fan. I you know, I

(46:32):
the last thing I wanted to do, but they put
me on you. Blame it on the agency, of course,
or blame it on the job. Yeah, get in there
to get to know him and say hello, blah blah blah.
Now you're marrying this girl. You gotta get used this
kind of stuff. I'm your guy.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I can't do it. I need him to stay focused.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
That's what I'm saying. He would be focused.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
No, I can't. I'm not doing it.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
But also, if he didn't want that attention to do
that kind of heat, he wouldn't be with Haley.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, I mean, they're all dirty, valid points and ballad arguments.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
You're acting like he's all the team, dude, he's not. Okay, okay,
you've got a whole team there. You're good to go.
I think you guys are gonna make the playoffs. I
think you're good to go. Dude him.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Forty nine Ers, Well, I love the guy so much
as well. I don't want him to tell me to
fuck off and then me cry sorry, I'm just gonna
leave it.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
But did you did you see what your boys did
to the forty nine ers? I mean, come on, of.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Course I did. I've watched every minute of every game.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
That was incredible.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
I need to I need to eat dinner. I'm starving.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yep. Well, if we've offended anybody on this episode, we
do apologize, but for myself and for Shirtless Jedi. Everybody
just picture that. Oh yeah, take care and be well.
