Action park media. Hey, guys, quick know, before we start this episode, as you know, the playoffs are around the corner and the Masters is here. I've been betting a little bit recently losing my shirt. What else is new? So I'm going to make a jump and go over to this guy, Kyle, who appears to be on fire hitting all of his bets. Check him out at Kyle Covers dot com and check out his Instagram at Kyle Covers spreads. Maybe it's the game in. Maybe the. Welcome to Victory, the podcast, I'm Doug Allen, Kevin Dooley and Kevin Connolly still saying our name is after 190 million episodes. Why are you dressed like you go to a bar mitzvah on Staten Island in 1998? What's happening? You look like an undertaker. You're all black with a tie. That's where you're going to be taking NFT photos with the artists who are from Long Island. What does that mean? The NFT photos? I don't know. Well, we went to the NFT play. You mean, when I got you invited and put you on a panel with Mark Cuban, they gave you one hundred and forty thousand dollars to me there. It's on consignment. But what's getting consigned to me and my name is getting consigned to anyone. I get nothing. It's like I got nothing. Yeah, I could have gone well. You didn't come to the panel so well. I wasn't invited. You wouldn't have you had. I have so much to talk about. I don't know where to start and I don't want you to rush me because maybe this episode's going long and I don't. Well, just so the audience knows we are in fact going to cover an episode of Entourage after we go over some things. And what a great episode 3b episode four you guys got. Gotcha. Gotcha is the name of the game, so we're going to get to that Chuck Liddell, Pauly Shore, which, by the way, just because we are busy with so many other things, we didn't get Chuck or Polian, and we could have gotten both. That was a mistake. I got a bunch of things on my mind. First of all, I need to talk about the ladies. Are ladies right? Kevin Connelly's girl? The way? It's ridiculous. The mother of his child, right? But OK, right? So what do we call your girlfriend like your girl? Why is that? She's not the mother of my child, right? But she's right. She's my girl, my girlfriend, right? So we both have girlfriends and you're a baby daddy. Yeah, but but I don't. I don't love the baby mama. Like, let's just baby mama my it's my girlfriend, our girlfriends. Sorry, you're you're okay. Our girlfriends do a podcast. Yeah. Hey, now I have a podcast, by the way. So there's so many things called entertain her. It's called entertainer. I got to let you know something to don Connelly. He's got a podcast himself now that he's kind of like delivering under the ground, under the table. Weird stuff. Yeah, he's got the Kev Code podcast, which also, aside from the NFT, I should have ownership too, because the word Kev code comes from the ramble on pilot, and he's just he's taken it. He doesn't want to promote it. He does want to do. It's an experimental. Can I talk about what you did, though, which is, I'm sure it's an experimental podcast where we're not doing social collapse. We're not shooting VIDEO. We're just recording audio and we're releasing. But you did something promoting it. Did something pretty shady. No, it's not shady. It was. It was an experiment. OK, Connell, there's there's these charts, which are they're really meaningless, but they look good on the charts, right? And the charts, like if you're on the comedy chart, that's really it's half chart TV and films. The tough guy in TV, which is what victory is in TV and film category. So you're in What are you in? We decided to go with leisure, so college break in the charts on the leisure category. Hey, we we are at the top of the leisure charts and it is leisure and podcast. So do you want to tell us a little bit about this podcast? I know you don't want to promote it, but no, it's about it's like the company podcast. What goes on behind the scenes here? New shows go on behind the scenes. Well, you know, it's very leisurely. It's just in a leisurely way. We're discussing magazine on the podcast. Are you having fun without us or yeah, I mean, it's super easy. We don't edit, we just record it and it goes to air. All right. So we'll move on from that. Everybody check that out as well as thanks, Doug, thanks to you. As well as the action park media presents ramble on podcast, the official podcast. Just a little update on the show so we can let people know what's at, what's happening with the show. Tomorrow night we're screening it. I was going to do a whole cast and crew thing, but I couldn't find a big enough space, so I had to shrink it and it's my birthday. If anyone cares, so happy for it and I don't care. I'm the only one in this room that cares. But did you bring a gift? No. Yeah, you didn't get it. I would not put it the you got the same gift that you got for me and you got VIDEO. Yeah, I get you where you got me last year. Nothing, nothing. But anyway, Dylan will be coming to my house with a few of those. I'm keeping it small, but a few of the cast members and other people are going to screen the show, have a little birthday celebration and guess who's not coming Chalco, you know? That's why I have a hockey game. The first we're in real hockey action park roller hockey team starts on. All right, so beefy. Scotty and Connolly are on this f**king team, but we need to talk about Mike shadiness of he's in the leisure category. Connolly made a little acquisition on his adult hockey team. So who is playing on your roller hockey team? It's the action park team. So if you are have a podcast in Action Park, you're eligible to play on the team. And Sean Avery does have no goalie like 12 years in the NHL. Yeah, and he's so he's our ringer. Wow, ringer. So you have to get that signed off on or we don't know what to expect, but it's like an automatic when you know it's going to win it all. But I mean, you've got a pro on your team. Yeah, I mean, who else has got a pro? It's a slippery slope. You know, it's a funny thing is so he's just not going to be allowed to score, is my guess. I mean, what do you mean by who? Who's going to not allow if he goes out there and he scores 10 goal? We were going to beat everybody 20 to nothing like there will be the following to say he can't score unless he can play defense and he can move the puck around. I think he's. Out of either player, he doesn't play, he's going to play, but he's not. I would love it. He's going to score 20 goals. The funniest thing, though, is Scottie are in the in the booth producer says. I wonder if he still has it. Yeah, Scottie played hockey at a high level. That's a fair question. That's not a question. You don't lose it. Well, first of all, we're not trying to lose it. Like, lose it. Maybe he can't play in the NHL today. He certainly play in Connolly's adult hockey, didn't play in the in the intermediate Mar Vista. Let's get Chelios on his team, and he's a really killer and we think people are going to recognize him or start seeing a ridiculous amount of skill and go, What is happening? I don't. I don't know what to expect. Scottie, if if I'm correct, his name goes on the roster today, right? Yeah, the name goes on the roster and 100 percent people recognize him. He's yeah, he's a recognizable hockey direction, by the way. Can you? You know, like in hockey, can you go lefty like, just hold it the opposite way of what he's used to it, that L played forward in the NHL. So if he plays defense and as long as he's not like scoring a bunch of goals, if he just plays? Yes. Yeah. If you just throw some people through the boards, you know he can't do that. I mean, he was he dropped the gloves. Is he a? You can't drop the ball. He was a fighter. Yeah, you've dropped the gloves before. Better than I dropped. You have dropped the gloves before and this adult hockey league? Not this specific one, but I remember you had a fight that was years ago. I tried to get your a*s kicked. I was about 500. So right, if I'd say what happened? Tell us. No, I'm just saying what I would do. This is 20 years pre-9 11. I like your fights, pre-9 11. We'd play in a feisty hockey league and sometimes I have no idea what pre-9 11 means. Did things change after that? People were kinder on the hockey rink. After that, when that was happening, it was like in the 90s, the late 90s. I just got bigger than yours. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, most of them are hard to find. I think you put on a wig on Avery, so people don't recognize. And let's see his skill because it means that I just sometimes on the pickleball court, I'm not recognized and people just see skill and they're like, Who the f**k is this? Like, Where did this guy come from? So really well to put an asterisk next to our our championship? I don't think so. I think you're allowed to bring anybody. That's what I'm saying. I don't know who you are. We'll see what happens. You know, I mean, years ago, my son was playing in his nine year old basketball league, which these kids were awful. Well, they're nine, they know. But there's some nine year olds. LeBron was pretty damn good when he was nine. My my son, who's beautiful and played our son on the show and is funny and is awesome. Basketball wasn't necessarily his thing or the rest of the team. They were down twenty two points and I brought Baron Davis with me and watch to watch. And Baron was so horrified by what he was witnessing that he he took over as the coach at halftime. The coach was willing to let him over. And I'm looking like, what is Baron Davis going to do with these kids? And I'm being very serious barons like Luke to my son, shoot it and my son is turning in the middle of the game and I can't reach him here, and I'm like hiding my head and embarrassed. And you know what happened? It's all on VIDEO. We can put this in a social clip we won at the buzzer. You would have thought we won. It came down from twenty two and one and the other to protest. Yeah, they filed a protest that Baron was not an official coach. So I wonder what win that protest or you know what the kids like? Nobody gave a s**t besides the people who protest. If I were if I were out there on Wednesday night and I was on the other team, I looked and Sean Avery was playing defense, I would be like, What the f**k? Yeah. Oh yeah, you'd file a complaint right away. I would file and walk off. And by the way, Connolly, for this big night of his life, is not coming to my birthday. I go to the screening of his show. I care about us. It's horrifying, but it's horrifying. Listen, man, I think Sean could probably cover the scene without you. Don't think it's good for me and I want to get back in there and compete. Yeah, I'm a competitor at heart. Well, why don't you try competing on the golf course? Stick a kick in your a*s all the time. You guys just played right? Yeah, we did. I can't wait to come to this, and I just joined another country club. I needed something out here. I'm a member. Winged Foot in New York. Yes, that's cool. Where is the golf course? Camarillo, so a little bit of a drive by now. OK. Awesome. But it's great. 1921 it's it's a really old. Well, maybe maybe I'll get a, uh, an invite to that sad site. Well, yeah, I mean, if you hit the range once every you want to a while you to start taking some lessons. Listen, I'm pretty natural. I think I could be out on a golf course. Well, Dylan, no, I just don't think they can make it all the way through an 18. You're on your phone the whole time you're on 27. Instagram has done it before and I used to have great times together. I got you. I got to go. I got to go. I got to give them a stroke a hole and he'd take me down occasionally. Occasionally. Yeah, sure. I'll take you down where Jerry was there, when I took you down more than a all right. So listen, I got I got a good entertainer story. So these girls are just now non wife. Sarah Sanderson July are on a podcast called Entertainer. They just got started. Good. It's cool. It's girls that they're fun. But these girls, they stay, enjoy their podcast and they come in on Thursdays. They have a glass of wine. Everybody's friends, Danielle Harris as well. Now that's different. It's a different day, like a little glass of wine at theirs as well. Yeah, I'm sure everybody likes, you know, who's a guest of their second episode or. Third, maybe. Oh, you yeah, yeah. And these girls, these lunches got me hammered at 9:30 in the morning. You dug well, so then they, you know, they come in, they have a great time. Everybody's so positive. They love each other. They go to, they go to lunch after. They're just they've become friends doing this part. Yeah, they done five of them, right? We thought we were drinking in our early one, you know? Yeah, except they have fun. Collie attacked me after that first proper 12 night. So long story short, they decide that they're going to because they launched on Thursday. So on Friday they're going to or Saturday they're going to Dan Tana's to try to steal our whole thing. Yeah, that was our thing. So they're going to a celebratory release there. Dan Tanis OK. So they go to that, Dan, as I was asleep by the time they got, you know, so I don't know what kind of condition I'm assuming they had a good time because I didn't even hear her comments. I was passed out Sunday. I go to Dan Tana's and I'm getting takeout food. I'm standing at the end of the bar and you know, there's traffic coming behind. You know, the busboys and servers are moving food in and out. And I hear the GM say to the assistant GM, something about a harem of girls now, just so everyone who's not in L.A. understands. And I told Sarah this Dan Tana's is mostly a guy restaurant. You don't see four beautiful girls sitting at tables at that time is very often right. Yeah, right? Not like that. Yeah, not that right? So I was joking around. I turn around, I was like, Oh, you got yourself a harem? He goes, No, no, not tonight. Last night. Oh, but Kylie has no idea these girls were out of control. And so I go. I said to the I say to the maitre d, I said, You know, it's my wife. You should have found out some more information. I threw that out there. I said, Well, what did they get up to? I said, I said, That's my wife. He goes, Oh. And then you knew immediately they're talking about when he said last night, I knew immediately that they were talking about the girl size. Now the guy is like, Dude, I'm kidding with your. But instead I said, Yeah, I'm joking around, dude. Yeah, no, no. He's like, Yeah, man, you know, I didn't mean it. Like, That's it, brother. I'm promise. I was literally just joking around. You should have let it go, though. These girls, man, what do they do with what I do? They got free dessert, free shots. But then then I hear. Then I hear this. I never 30 years ever going to dance. That is never got a free. You never got a free shot, never got a free dessert. So Sarah told you that one of the girls said, Yeah, so and it wasn't July and it wasn't Sarah. Yeah, we did not realize her. And I don't want to like, don't even say the other girls name. No, I'll say her name. She's a part of the Entertainer podcast, and by the way, they're all great girls. But you know, they got a couple of shots. And I know Erika's quote, which Sarah salmon cello, I'm sure whatever. But I heard this before. Connelly tells me that. So Erika says to the kids they had a daughter, hadn't been to dentist goes. She goes welcome. The dad that is, and Eric goes, We're virgins, so I hope you'll show us a good time now. I mean, like, that's what I would look at, Dylan, by the way, if Dylan was the GM, that would be, yeah, he would have stand by the way. What were they? What was the GM supposed to think? Yeah, exactly. Like, that's OK. It's a definitely a double entendre. What would you do, by the way, if I told you said, you'd say the name? Give me zero. If I said I said that, I would have not been happy. I'm not gonna lie. I would not have been happy if that was you light. I'd say that, but I knew because he said, Oh, wait, you lie, right? I said, Yeah, yeah, that's how he knows everybody's name. The whole thing was a little nuts. She pointed at it innocently, and you're just taking it the wrong way. I don't know. I wasn't there. And quite frankly, as long as it wasn't like that, I don't really Borsak July or Sarah that said it. But I guess that set the tone for these guys and do. Twenty four hours later, these guys were still glowing. Yeah. I'm like, You guys. What did you guys do? What did you guys do to these guys? And also they all, they look great. They look like a million bucks or happy. But then guess what happened? Happy. This is what I had to listen to at 11 o'clock at night. Dan Tana's Still, it's 20 22. They have a cash valet. They have the cash register. Yeah, I've been up to 50 times, Colleen. I got stuck at the ballot. I had them tell you I had to pay your valet. Yes, you did. I told you like 20 times. Make sure you have $20 for the valet. She f**king uses me to death. And lo and behold, the girls get to their cars and nobody pays for beautiful virgins. Get to the car. And then by the way, the is virgins, you know, the valet at Dan Tana's, he's got a different energy than than the guys inside. Not impressed with these girls at all. Yeah, he's like eight bucks. I'll impound your f**king car. What do you want? Fourteen bucks are all about your car. When when Doug and I went, I've been going there for 20 years and I always tip the guy. And I said to him, I came up, we had to pay for two cars. So it was twenty eight dollars. I had twenty six dollars. I said to the guy, Hey man, I'll get you the next time around. He goes, Sure, hey, you know, hey, look, it's only money, right? I'm like, All right, I'm like, Dude, I promise you. He's like, Yeah, sure. Yeah, good. So I had to go back and like, Pay the guy. Are serious. So what happened, do they end up? I heard Sarah was fighting with the guy. Well, they had to go back in to their hair master and apparently he gave them money, so. And you know, Sarah is so innocent. She didn't really understand. Remember that after the last time July, they were standing there on that problem. You know what? It's easy to not remember. Nobody takes care. Only cash nowadays, by the way. I never have. We were there three weeks ago in the same thing happened. Look how angry you get a lot of anger. These angrier is as angry as of July. Said She's a virgin. What a great story. So, but I mean, everybody like enough with the non-cash, it's 20 22. I never have cash. I really don't. Yeah, Dan Tan that of factor. They still have an old school cash register. Yeah, well, don't do it that way. All right. So anyway, we're going to get to this episode every break we have, but I'm going to I'm not ready to sell some ads. God, I am. I am ready assessments. But ramble on podcast. The reason, the reason. The reason we need you all there. We're trying to spread the word on this this week. This show starts getting seen by people out there. My birthday tomorrow. Are you nervous? Of course I'm nervous. I'm not nervous that it's not good because again, I'm not being arrogant. This isn't all me. Everybody except one a*****e who I wanted to talk about. You know, we're not going to talk about. Yeah. Connolly wants to hide this s**t, but I just don't know. You know, we had 200 people really deliver for the show, and one person is just an ungrateful prick and whatever, whatever. So here. All right. I can't wait to hear that. He's so not combative. I like to come back. I want to know who it is. We need. I need to know. You know what? You'll never hear his name again. He sleeps with the fishes. But what? I want to you, what I want to say is, am I nervous that the show is good? Absolutely not. It's just you guys, everybody from goal, our cinematographer to chase are, you know, production designer Jan and Gary producers. You're confident to release the work into the universe and let the chips fall where they may. Well, I have no other options, but so what do you mean into the universe? I mean, we're I'm going to get to see for the first time tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. But who else is seeing it? You're just going. He's going to start shopping it around. Okay, shopping around. Yeah. So not the universe. We may have to bring the entertain her girls to get a sell. But anyway, so about virgins. But but everybody's going to see it. We're going to start deciding on agencies, whether we want a sales rep. So the whole process we'll talk about on the podcast and. You know, there's nothing else to say, but I'm I'm really safe, but don't say what I can say is our colorist to who makes sure after Burkle does his work, he comes in and they work together to make the colors just so people understand what Doug is talking about. What happens is, once you the the last thing you do is is a color pass where you just make sure that everything is the right color and you know Dylan and try to make your eyes a little bit more blue, make pop little less. You did not just, you know, not by our eyes. You wouldn't have a problem with, Doug said. Have nice eyes. I mean, I told him before I got in here, it was the, you know, you remember what they say, how does he get these girls, which is kind of a knock on Connolly? Think. And I look, I love Carly, but I always thought it was his personality that got girls. After watching the show yesterday, I'm like, you too are a good looking mother. I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah. And I really I mean this. The show looks so good. And what I wanted from day one, when I told Burkle it was like, It's sideways, it's once upon a time in Hollywood. We shot on film. Kodak helped us out Steve Bellamy, and it looks as good as any show on television. Period end of story. That's not me. That's our cinematographer. That's our lighting people. And it's beautiful. So, all right. And you guys are as funny as ever, period end of story. So I'm not going forward. So we want it to go to go there because that would be an action park co-production as well. Well, thanks. Thanks, Doug. Again, Delivery Guy delivers these TV shows acting jobs. I don't know, and I'll take it, by the way, often offered women to. A lot of the cast members met women through me as well. So it's true. I've delivered a lot of stuff. But anyway, we will be back. Download the Ramble on podcast, though, because it's going to help us sell that. Look at that. All right, welcome back to the podcast, we're going to get into Gotcha in a second, but I just realized we're going to the track this weekend. Santa Anita the real Don Johnson. Yeah, the real Don Johnson, not John Johnson from The Gambler, my buddy. Yeah, yeah, he's going to take care of us at the track. So excited for that. We're going on a trip is going to give us some good picks for some horses. Yeah, that's it. We're all going to be like the episode we did. Yeah, my girl is going to perform. That's great. Little guitar, little singing, which, by the way, we're at, we're about to cover. Gotcha. Season three, Episode four, Season three, Episode five is the one the episode that we shot for the one we shot on race to the racetrack. We will be at Santa Anita, though of course I'm just. So anyway, hopefully Connolly and Sean Avery and Bayfield show up at shower for the party tomorrow night so that our showers probably. I mean, I'm just trying like, I'm just like, Do you want to come to your screening of your show? That's like your whole life is resting on? Or do you want to go to your adult hockey league game? I don't. I throw up so embarrassing. All right. All right. So here we go. This episode, it's tough. Collins got businesspeople here, so I'm embarrassed. Like, I don't again. I want to be clear because I got a couple of people saying s**t about me that that I got like, I'm a narcissist and s**t. It's very, very upsetting to me because I know that, you know, like Twitter trolls, it's just the trolls can't read that much else. The reason the reason. I wanted to say that because when I when I do talk about our show, I don't talk about me. This is our show and everybody. But this episode was so unbelievably good. I haven't seen it in five years, and I'm like, I don't. Besides a couple of words that in 2022, you would not say there was a few. I didn't think there was. This was a heavy heavy. The R word was in it, which I'm still surprised I think it was over by. But this season is the last time we say it right. I'm going to come clean, guys. I didn't watch this so embarrassing. I know it's so embarrassing. Hey, I got, you know, you guys bring me in a rush hour. I didn't have enough time. Yeah, it was a busy hour and a half to get what you do last night that you couldn't watch. I had to watch a horrible movie that Sandra Bullock, Bobby, Brad Pitt was good in it, but it was real. I don't even know what movie you're talking about, but it was not good. What it's even called, it's terrible. Really, I didn't like it. I don't even know there's a Sandra Bullock. Yeah, I know that one went over my head so well, I'll have to check that out. So it's a chick flick. Yeah. The episode opens at La Petite four, yeah, which is a restaurant on Sunset Plaza. And I don't know if you remember this. Like, we've talked a little bit about it on the podcast before, but when we would shoot at these restaurants, we would have to be out of there by 11 o'clock early morning, and the venue would be like sitting there in the dark, basically waiting for the sun to rise. And the minute the light was up, boom. There we were and we were shooting and we were gone by 11 o'clock. Yeah, so we're sitting there and turtle. As is talking to Dillon's arch enemy Pauly Shore. Another one to do what he's done to them. Like, yeah, like you and I are sitting there and you're like, Look at turtle fraternizing with the enemy. He's my enemy. He's your enemy. Yeah, like what? What I love about that, and it's interesting because it just came up last night. I don't know if you saw that, but LeBron James said he's seen like The Godfather 60 times, and then some reporter decides to ask him what his favorite line of The Godfather is. And I don't know if you I don't know if he's never seen the movie or not, but he couldn't come up with it. But I clearly kind of took that from The Godfather and kind of my old life because I believe because Dylan says, if he's my enemy, he's your enemy. And it's basically don't go against the family. And I believe your podcast side TV show aside, if there was an arch enemy of Kevin Dillon, he's no friend of mine. Yes, there you go. Yeah, there we go. So, you know, I think right now here we all stick together at this pod. I hate that guy. I don't even know you talk it out, right? And then and then Turtle comes back and says, Yeah, look, basically, they want to set you up. They want to set drama up for a hidden camera camera show, a version of punked, their pilot episode, their pilot episode and Dylan, but also the five towns. Billboard is in the background of Dylan's like Wow two pilots in one season. But what's funny is Turtle is saying it to him, knowing that obviously it's already over. Turtle is what's so. And you know, Rob Weiss and I wrote the episode, but again, it's always a group thing with Ali and Brian Burns and whoever else was around at that point because I don't remember. But they already know the drama is going to jump in because they're really playing the joke on him, like, well, Polly wanted you to do this, but obviously I've told you about it. So now you can't do a hidden camera show, hidden camera show, if you know. Yeah, dramas like I'm mean, I can pretend like, I don't know, I'm an actor, bro. It's like, Yeah, yeah, you're an actor. You can that box. So then we jump to this other story line, which I want to talk about it, which is amazing. Artie Lange pops up. You talk about the other. Artie Lange pops up as as Ari's long lost fraternity brother. Yeah, OK. Why was Ari hating on on Artie Lange so bad? Oh, you didn't understand. I mean, I understood, but I was it. Was it real? So he was the bum fraternity brother? Yeah, and he got his act together and he made a bunch of money. And now he has. Yeah, I mean, look, hot wife. What what that? Let me get into a couple of things of this episode this so much of. My life is in this. Scott Siegel's Your Boy Scout and Laurie Siegel are my boys. They have nothing to do with this character except for their names. Right? But the Stamps.com was a guy that we went to college with. And, you know, did he make a bunch of money on stamps that? Yes, and everybody. Of course, everybody was bitter. He used to walk around and he was like a loser. And then he made a bunch of money was not a loser. He was not a he was not a loser. He was a great guy. But I just remember he was like, I don't even remember he was trying to be a screenwriter. Somebody had an of impact as a guy that was going to hit it big with stamps. I mean, when you're struggling and you're trying to get your life together, and all of a sudden you hear some guy just made 50 million bucks off stamps.com and you're struggling. You're bitter and jealous that I think Ari might not be. But I wanted to play in that because that was my personality wasn't that I was really angry about it, but we were all just we would spend so much time talking about, you believe this f**king guy made 50 million dollars of selling stamps? It's really hilarious. That's real. That's real, 100 percent real. And the other real things like Scott Siegel actually had a giant T-shirt company. So at one point I had Artie Lange. He used to sell T-shirts, but it was actually an enormous company that he sold for 50 million. Artie Lange was great already like Marty Lawson and Leslie Bibb was awesome. Leslie Bibb was phenomenal. Yeah. I mean, it was a really, really, really good storyline. But I also I also think it's something that you see a lot like you see someone when they're younger and then they come into their own and all of a sudden, you know, they have this gorgeous wife. I so much of that is my life. The I have the friend who married the beautiful blonde girl and converted to Judaism is talking about a doing bar mitzvahs. And all this said, it had been so long since I'd seen the episode that I forgot. I was like, Wait a second, is it going to turn out that he's broken? He's full of s**t, but it wasn't. He was like, You know, he's like, Hey, man, I'm sorry, we'll come back. We'll do Friday things next time we're going to go stay at home. He directed this. Was it at anybody has said this. There's a good story here, too. I remember that the girls were great, Perry and Leslie. They were just phenomenal. They were phenomenal. All right. So then we go. And I wanted to ask you when we did the parking lot thing with where drama and turtle writing was, where where was that that was? I thought I felt like we were in the valley. Was that the grove that wasn't there was definitely not the grove. I feel like it was wasn't Frankie's right now. No, I was, uh, Marina del Rey area kind of that way. I think you're right. Yeah, I think you're right. So they go in and they get into this spot. And Dylan drama assumes that this is the that this is the punked part. Is that chocolate Dallas ball game? Well, well, it was the little girl, right, that I see fur. No, you see Chuck. I gotcha. I got you pull and you are all ready for someone to play a practical joke on you. And Chuck Liddell pulls in and you're like, OK, well, obviously, this is it. What's what's a Chuck Liddell? I remember that was one of my line was the Chuck Liddell. You're like, Oh, this is it. This is my punk. I'm getting, yeah, you're like, I'm going to make sure that I look, I look cool. You're like, All right, move this whoop d. Get this Peter out of my way. Yeah, this jalopy. Liddell was great too. And I know Kev, you shot him before we shot this, Chuck told the story on the podcast. But anybody that didn't listen to it, this is the craziest thing that ever happened. So one night we're in, we were in Vegas. When he told me this, he said to me, You know, I must beat you up first time I met you. And I said, What do you mean? What do you mean? He's like, Well, we were at a club in L.A. and we were at it was he started shooting the episode the next week and we were in like an awkward urinal situation, right? Like we were peeing next to each other and urinals. And I said to him, and I hope you been, you know, working on that script because I was reading it and he had a lot to do. He thought that he was doing like a cameo, and he thought that I was insinuating that he was stupid and couldn't like, handle like a line or like a like a crisis era. He was going to beat me up, which is weird, he said, but then thrown around a little pipsqueak like you. That would be the best food that would have a bad look for chocolate. Yeah, especially to date, Dave for you, probably two days before shooting. So but what happened was Chuck Liddell then calls his manager when he gets home and says, Yo, can you send me that script right now? And then he gets the script and he said, Holy s**t, this guy. And he said, Ultimately, you saved my life because then I started working on it because I didn't know I had that much to do. I probably should have learned of the word cameo could be strange on Entourage. Yeah, you could have a really big part and have a cameo. He thought he was going to have a line or two or whatever. He didn't realize that the storyline was based before I before I forget it. A side note any any chance you get Liddell on your adult hockey league team to as it gets out, we get thrown in for throw him on and throw him on the act. Sean Avery and Chuck Liddell on the back line. He doesn't even have to be able skate. Yeah. Put him out there on sneakers. It was not a funny story when he told me because he was dead serious. And you know, Chuck, you know, Chuck, you know, now I think. But back in the day, like when he had a few like, I believe you were at a party where Chuck almost got in a real fight. Yeah, I mean, I've seen that's I'm saying, I know he has a couple and he's not afraid and for him to say. That to me, I was like, Jesus, I'm pretty sure he he was kidding about that. Oh no, no, no, it's definitely not a beat. And that one might have smacked me. You might have grabbed me by the neck and put him in an arm. He might have given you a scare or sorry to smack him. Whatever, whatever anything would have been too much here. All right, let's jump into the other story line before we get back into chocolate. That third story line is Amanda and Vince and E ! Right? So he now knows that they had they had sex and they kind of again, I don't know what happens. They like each other. Couple of things again, just the writing process, how this comes. And I'm not bringing it to kissing a fool. It just it is what it is. I'm not going to say so when I was cast in kissing a full Mili Avital, who's an Israeli actress who's awesome and a good friend. She walked in to audition and I swear to you, I called David Schwimmer, who was starring in the movie after that, and I told them, I met your wife. I met your wife. I know it. And I want you to see her to see if like this should be. And you know, now in twenty twenty two, I guess nobody can have relationships. But anyway, we start shooting the movie and I forgot I ever said that. So I never like that. Was it? I was just like, You met your wife? And then we start shooting the movie day three of the movie. The two of them as a unit come to me, the director, to start just suddenly asking for nothing crazy. But just like. But I could feel it just like that scene where you are sitting at that table and I swear to God. So in the previous episode, he calls We're at lunch and he says, calls Amanda cute. Yeah. So the five the following day we go to lunch to apologize for calling her cute. He calls her beautiful. And then at that point, I'm like, OK, well, they're they're back. So I. And then it's a smash cut to us in the car. I'm like, I can't believe you thought there. I can't believe. So now in the real life, what's the big deal? A big deal is that you're f**king your agent. That's a big deal. And in the real life story, which I did get slightly nervous about because I did think they could have a great relationship and they ultimately ended up in a three year relationship. And they're good friends to this date. But I was sitting at that table in that exact scene and they were asking me things, and all of a sudden I just got this feeling and I don't. I might be exaggerating, but as I remember it, I just grabbed the table and ripped it out of the way and they were holding hands and I was like, All right, so you guys are now a team coming after me. But anyway, there was no downside, but I was like, Guys, I have twenty four days to make this movie. I love that. You guys, I think you're a perfect couple, but do not. Yeah, and you got to survive the next fight. And they did. And then, all right. So then so that happens with you guys drama, entourage, fashion, which I always loved. The cars coincidentally pull up at the same time. Right? Drama and turtle pull up in the escalator in Sydney and Delon. You watch this classic entourage walk and talk and the house where you're trauma. You're terrified at Chuck Liddell. We get in there and there's a voicemail from Chuck Liddell, who's senior billboard and he's coming after you. It's interesting to think now voicemail. How would we even play that? Yeah, I know, right? It'd be a tweet. Yeah, an Instagram comment. So Jerry gets the idea. Hey, we're going to go to his charity event when he sees you being charitable, maybe you'll apologize when he sees you supporting the troubled youth. Yeah. What was it again, Pete Pete? People, right? No, it was. Chug, chug, chug skids. But the shirts were beat people right? I love that. I wish I had one of those shirts. We can make them. So long story short drama ends up in the octagon. Okay, so we're going to skip the rest of the parking lot stuff or talk about it. What do you want? Yeah, yeah. Well, I don't know. I mean, there was the funny bit was with the, you know, I call now we go face to face and I'm like, Yeah, go for Chucky. Oh, this is in the park, right? Yeah. In the park you like basically challenged Chuck Liddell. Like you said, Go, hey, get a douchebag, do something, do some something. Yeah, and then you're walking around looking at the marked van. You're like, Look, there's a market here and you're looking at Paul in the van. By the way, he was 100 percent right. They should be coming out any time now. They never came out right. Then the Girl Scout, then the Girl Scout comes and I realize, Oh, this is right. Well, you know you come and the girls gets like, Hey, you want to buy a cookies? You're like, Sure, I'll buy some cookies. Like, she's like 200 bucks. You like? Yeah, not bad. I don't think. I don't think so. She goes, Well, if you don't, I'm going to start screaming and you're like, Don't start screaming. She starts screaming, all the girls, all the Girl Scouts are screaming, and then here comes Polly, and you got got. And that's how we think. That's we think that's it's also funny that she's calling him grandpa. Well, it looks like I look at it. It's like he looks like he's twenty five years old. Thirty one, you're going to call him grandma. Now we go to Chuck Liddell charity to squash the Chuck Liddell beef, he confronts Amanda, which is a good scene where I'm getting pushed around by troubled youth on the bathroom line. Everybody keeps going. But Dylan ends up in the octagon, and he's got a lot of bathroom problems in real life ED. He's like, You know, and I got drama, has got to face the music. He gets in, he gets in the ring with the without, makes him get down on a knee and that's you got got and girls. A funny bit, too, is he's about to choke the guy out and he sees the audience and he just throws the guy's side. I did like Robert De Niro thing from like taxi, where he's staring at me goes, you turn around behind me like, you talk to me. So he gets in and he makes Dylan take a knee. And then it turns out you got got. So Scott, the Girl Scouts who are mislead. But Dylan, do you remember the night that we shot that? I remember it was late, OK? This was a long, long essay there of the of the figure we did 96 episodes. I don't know what that would amount to in terms of days of work, but thousands of days of work. And that's what this day was. The toughest day this day would live in the top five of the longest, most brutal days. Well, the Queen Mary was along. Queen Mary was up. That was number one. I think it's right up there, but do you remember? Yeah, this was because also we were ready to collapse. It was like it was like people were just like shutting down. And because remember, we had to shoot backwards because, you know, you had kids, right? So we had to do the Girl Scouts first and then get them out of there. So we were like kind of shooting backwards. We're shooting out. But it was, yeah, we shot at the music box and it was like a 16 and a half almost 17 hour days that we spent in an ad is general. We call them that. Yeah, that's how he literally at one point collapsed. There was like the end of like a long shot and it looked like it was perfect and then everything had to be perfect. And, you know, one actually did the wrong thing at the last second and blew the whole shot. And he literally dropped to drop to his knees, and he collapsed on the go and said something on his way down. I can't remember what it looked like. Oh yeah. Oh, he was defeated. I was like, Oh my God, I was like at his camera, we'll get it, we'll get it. But I yeah, and that was great. Well, what's interesting to look the behind the scenes because how many things they have to convince drama of and when we're writing this thing, we're trying to figure out how we. Very clever because I forgot I didn't know how we stay ahead of the audience. And honestly, this was one of the toughest scripts that we did. Just that storyline. The other ones were like five minutes, that storyline to go, OK, how are they really going to play into dramas, ridiculous ego that they're going to convince Mike who if you really analyze it, would drama go, Yeah, I'll do a show. Nobody asked you to do is hidden cameras. Yeah, but they they're playing in that he's such a narcissist that he's good, that he's going to go, I'll be on that show. I'll do that show, even though I hate Pauly Shore. And and it's a hidden camera show, and then it all has to come together. And from a production standpoint, and again, at that point, you know, we had entourage was doing well. We had money at that point, right? So but at the end of the day, we were at that location for one day. That's it. Where was that? Where we think it was the music box in Hollywood, right? Something like that. But we had to shoot all the stuff in the hallway. We had to shoot all the stuff in the ring. I mean, there was just a lot of moving parts with inside that one location. So we did it. We did a lot. There is one thing I want to talk about at one stage when I'm being called into the ring, I'm like, Where's the nearest exit, turtle? He's like, Yeah, close enough. And I do look, look over David's like that. It's like, What can I do, Johnny? What can I do? I go, I think you've done enough. I remember I went to that that day was so late. I remember saying, that is, do I really need to come back because I was at the back? They might come back at the very end of my. I could still be. I mean, the line was maybe there's a way that I didn't make it back to the big four, the big punch line that is like now kind of you're going to be here, you're here all night. That's it. You get paid and I don't want to hear about it, you know? Also, Adrian Adrian is awesome, and it's yeah, he was. I mean, it was it was a good it was a good episode. And again, having no idea what these episodes are about all these years later, it was a blast to watch it again. Dylan, the Dylan tagline. That's always the episode's only victory there. No, no, I was. But what did I do? I drove it to pilot one season. But also what you see is the evolution of Entourage. Because when we started out season one, where it was just these very like kind of contained storylines and this, I forgot, you know, like Seinfeld, you can think about your favorite episodes of Seinfeld, and there's like four storylines that you can't believe are in the same episode. I forgot that these episodes were connected because I actually I don't even know what my favorite storyline is of this episode because they all work really like there was zero. It's like one of the few episodes where there was zero contact between us and Ari. Really? I don't think there's that's what we call, I mean, it was literally they were just off on their own thing and it was it was a great storyline and you know, they were, you know, they were house heaven's great and heaven f**king, you know, you know, when Piven goes shirtless, he's he's going shirtless on purpose. Yeah, yeah. It was pretty good, you know his rep. But he was also, I mean, I just couldn't figure it was so funny and I just couldn't figure out, I'm like, Why is Ari being such a f**king hater? Because it was weird. Sure that the guy that used to be the loser is now richer than him and not not a hotter girl. He's beautiful. But you know it just sometimes. Sometimes people like to keep people in the places that they are supposed to be at. It's like Goodfellas, I don't shine shoes anymore. And I think that that Ari like who he was, his punching bag. And now it's like, OK, this guy just outshined me. He's got a bigger house and at least an equally beautiful girlfriend. And I can tell you 100 percent, this is probably what is probably 97 98. There are a lot of people from Tulane University. Not that they were. They wanted everybody to be successful. But when you're twenty five years old and you're struggling and you heard your friend just waltzed his way into 100 million bucks because he happened to work at Stamps.com in the right moment, they were also like, Oh yeah, that's right. With taxes, it's called forty sixty five billion out of your taxes, called forty thousand seventy one. Like, Yeah, are you still driving that caprice? That is just maybe not that. Believe your boy started Stamps.com? No, no. He didn't start Stamps.com, which makes it even worse. He's just a guy that worked there early, like BP at Action Park Media. He's when he starts this guy. We don't need to drop this nickname. It's I. I don't, I don't hate it. I think it's a good nickname, and I think people will. The question is when they see him and Avery, if they don't know who Avery is, who they more worried about. Secondly, thinks he's the enforcer on that team. No, I don't think so. Yeah, I think I'm the enforcer on the team. What are you talking about? I'm trying not to fall down. You're the first guy to drop the gloves. I guess no way, bro. I'm f**king 82 years old. Well, I'm excited to hear about it. I hope you guys show up at the party where your whole future is riding on after the hockey game. But you know it's not a big deal. Keep me posted. Yeah, I'll let you know it happens. Ramble on everybody. I love this episode and I'm glad we're back. We'll talk more about the pilot and what Kevin Dillon thinks about it next week. We can't wait. You're going to be very happy. You got anything else to say. Well, the last thing in closing, I wanted to say, and I wanted to give Kevin Dillon a shout out here. So you know this thing about bizarre that by Bruce Willis? Obviously, yeah. You know, and it's it's sad and it's really sad. And Emma, his wife, was on. Show. And you know, a few times that I've met him, he's been like nothing but a great guy. And, you know, yeah. So it's great. We wish the best. But Kevin Dillon came back from doing that movie with Bruce Willis and said, I will not work with Bruce Willis anymore. I said, What do you mean you won't work? Because I said, it's what they're doing to him isn't right, and I want no part of it. And this is a couple of months ago. Well, I've worked with them twice, but the first time I didn't have any, I didn't have dialogue with them. I didn't know that, you know, the condition he was in it just like you sat around, I could tell, Yeah, he was struggling, but you were like, This is wrong. He's a great guy. He's actually still kind of seemed happy. And but I felt bad. I feel bad for his legacy. I felt bad for what he's gone from what I've heard for this disease, allegedly. And I, you know, I don't want to speak too much. He's fine inside, but he can't process it to get it out. So hopefully he is happy. But but Dillon Dillon flagged that and said, This is wrong. This is yeah. And I'm not sure that that's how it is to, you know, I'm not sure. I don't know enough diagnosis is even correct. I just, you know, I know some things. I mean, like with Al's like which I look at, I don't know if any of you guys follow Gleason on, you know, from the S. To add that that amazing blocked punt in the Super Bowl and now has ALS. And that's Lou Gehrig's right. That's Lou Gehrig's disease. And he was just, you know, the superstar athlete who now is, you know, like Stephen Hawking. He can't talk and he can't move, but his brain is allegedly still no and still no cure for that, I guess. Either way, like, you know, hopefully Bruce Willis is taken care of where you can just chill and be around his loved, you know, he loves to golf, so hopefully you golf will enjoy himself. As you know, Bruce, one of my one of my favorite actors and a verbal a verbal actor who could rip out dialogue for the fact that he he's unable to do that is so sad. And yeah, we wish him and his family the best. And no doubt for all of us, it's just a great man. You got to enjoy it all, guys for real. Like, you never know because Bruce Willis is not old. It's not old. So. All right. Love you, Bruce Willis. Ever since it was the young scrub, how was the dog on the corner with Monica slinging drugs and me? Not prominent me plus the.
