00:00:00.240 If you guys get the 30 grand, he will shave it off right now.
00:00:05.080 It's for a good cause, so.
00:00:06.720 It's for a great cause.
00:00:11.760 Thank God.
00:00:14.100 My partner, Evan, who I've been working with since I was 13,
00:00:18.060 who I've written all my movies with, he hates it.
00:00:21.460 And if I ever wind up murdered, it was Evan.
00:00:25.800 Yeah, but it's been such a contributor to the success of the films.
00:00:30.000 A little, yeah, I can, yeah.
00:00:31.380 Wait, so you wrote, you write your movies?
00:00:33.760 You actually wrote?
00:00:35.160 Yeah, me and Evan wrote Superbad and Pineapple Express and Is the End and Sausage Party and...
00:00:42.780 Oh, I forgot about that movie.
00:00:44.860 I watched that when I was in like 8th grade.
00:00:47.440 Yeah, we were amazed at how many young people were in the theaters for that film.
00:00:52.620 But yeah, I met my writing partner in bar mitzvah class.
00:00:55.340 No way!
00:00:55.720 And we started writing Superbad when we were in high school.
00:00:58.960 That's so sick.
00:00:59.640 And we were, and we made Superbad when we were around your age.
00:01:03.420 We were like 22 when we started filming that movie.
00:01:06.380 So I have an idea for you.
00:01:07.420 Yeah.
00:01:08.020 I have a serious idea for you.
00:01:09.160 I don't want to even take a percentage because I love you.
00:01:11.220 Good.
00:01:11.940 Make a Superbad.
00:01:12.640 I'm in.
00:01:13.000 You're not good.
00:01:13.920 It's just like good.
00:01:14.680 You're not good.
00:01:15.740 We're already on the same page.
00:01:17.000 So here's what you do.
00:01:18.540 Make a Superbad 2.
00:01:19.920 Yeah.
00:01:20.580 Listen, you're all grown up.
00:01:21.840 Yeah.
00:01:22.020 You're all grown up.
00:01:23.220 McLovin's all grown up.
00:01:24.000 Everybody's all grown up.
00:01:24.760 Yeah.
00:01:25.080 Right?
00:01:25.500 Families now, all that shit.
00:01:26.580 You guys have like a little high school reunion.
00:01:28.820 Okay.
00:01:29.500 And it's like a big ass party.
00:01:31.340 Interesting.
00:01:32.260 What do you think?
00:01:33.140 It's an interesting idea.
00:01:34.300 I don't, I, we can't make a, people don't want a sequel to Superbad.
00:01:37.840 I do.
00:01:38.480 You do.
00:01:39.060 You think you do.
00:01:40.160 And then you would watch it and you'd be like, ah, why'd they do this?
00:01:42.580 You know what I'm doing?
00:01:43.080 I think, no one likes a comedy sequel.
00:01:46.640 I say that having made a comedy sequel.
00:01:48.340 You know what's grown up?
00:01:50.160 They'll never do well.
00:01:51.500 Yeah.
00:01:51.820 Some of them.
00:01:52.560 Some of them.
00:01:52.640 Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2.
00:01:53.960 But because that's an action movie.
00:01:55.640 Yeah.
00:01:55.960 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:01:56.640 I see that.
00:01:57.260 And same with 22 Jump Street.
00:01:58.820 If there's action in it, it can have a sequel.
00:02:01.040 Got it.
00:02:01.240 If there's no action in it, it can't have a sequel.
00:02:03.220 How many Fast and Furious movies do you think is too many Fast and Furious movies?
00:02:06.260 There's never going to be too many.
00:02:07.360 There's never going to be too many?
00:02:08.080 No.
00:02:08.300 Until they're going to space, it seems, in this next one, which, and this is a story.
00:02:15.960 All about how my life got flipped.
00:02:17.800 Yeah, exactly.
00:02:18.320 The guy who produced the Green Hornet was a producer on the Fast and Furious films.
00:02:23.420 This was 10 years ago.
00:02:25.320 My partner Evan was with him and we were joking around.
00:02:28.660 And he was like, you know what they should do in the next Fast and Furious movie is they
00:02:31.480 should go to space.
00:02:32.420 And he looked at him dead serious, the producer, and looked at my partner and he goes, not yet.
00:02:37.240 He just knew, like, they're going to go to fucking space one day, but they're saving
00:02:43.840 that shit.
00:02:44.580 Yeah.
00:02:45.440 Speaking of going to space, Jeff, that was crazy.
00:02:48.180 Oh, what the fuck?
00:02:49.420 That was crazy.
00:02:50.700 Jeff, Jeff, can I get one?
00:02:52.180 I just want to touch your hand.
00:02:56.540 Jeff Bezos.
00:02:58.100 He's going to space.
00:02:58.700 Going to space.
00:02:59.400 I've got to ask for.
00:03:00.100 Get him out of here.
00:03:02.620 Your air is on packages or not to show him solely.
00:03:05.340 I say that as someone with several TV shows on Amazon.
00:03:10.200 Cancel.
00:03:11.160 Would you ever go to space?
00:03:12.580 No.
00:03:13.180 Would you ever go to space with Jeff Bezos?
00:03:15.240 If I was to go to space, I would go with the richest person I could find because odds
00:03:19.200 are their space trip would be a successful one, I would imagine, on a grand scale of them.
00:03:23.820 That's a good space trip to go on.
00:03:26.140 Bitcoin?
00:03:27.180 No.
00:03:28.100 I don't get that shit.
00:03:29.680 You don't get into crypto at all?
00:03:31.360 No, not at all.
00:03:32.580 I don't understand.
00:03:33.240 Are you kind of pushed away from it?
00:03:36.940 Do you avoid it because you're just like, I don't like it, I'm not into it, or what?
00:03:41.440 I was never someone who was taught that your money should be a thing that makes you money.
00:03:49.440 Got it.
00:03:50.020 I was always taught that you should work for money.
00:03:54.200 And I'm not saying that you should, I'm not saying that that's right.
00:03:57.660 That's just always was like the philosophy I had.
00:03:59.720 So the idea of taking your money and investing it in another form of money and expecting that
00:04:06.220 to turn into more money is super confusing to me.
00:04:08.900 You may be one of the only rich people I've ever heard with that strategy.
00:04:11.980 Well, it's also maybe because I'm rich and I don't need Bitcoin.
00:04:14.560 Pat, guys, if you're watching this, passive income streams in every part.
00:04:20.360 Yeah, I don't, I said like that could also be it is, I might be too rich for Bitcoin.
00:04:26.580 Do you smoke?
00:04:28.200 All day, every day, yeah.
00:04:29.560 How's the business going with that?
00:04:31.040 Really good, yeah, yeah.
00:04:32.520 Is that a great new business?
00:04:33.920 Houseplant.
00:04:34.280 Houseplant, okay.
00:04:35.040 I just wanted to make sure before I said it.
00:04:36.300 I'd rather like believe I don't know what it is than tell me.
00:04:38.900 So Houseplant, a book, the yearbook, right yearbook?
00:04:43.760 Yes.
00:04:44.220 How's that going?
00:04:45.100 Great.
00:04:45.660 It was a New York Times bestseller for four weeks, I think, which is wonderful.
00:04:50.840 I wrote a book.
00:04:51.520 It's fucking great.
00:04:53.420 Yeah, and the weed business.
00:04:54.680 I mean, yeah, I love weed.
00:04:55.840 I grew up, I've been smoking weed all day, every day for 25 years probably.
00:05:00.080 Wow, that's crazy.
00:05:00.720 That's longer than you've been alive.
00:05:02.020 So it's been, yeah, it's nice that I finally get to have a weed company.
00:05:09.460 Why did you start, why did you start smoking weed originally?
00:05:14.700 You can't ask that.
00:05:15.440 I just wanted to try it.
00:05:17.160 No, everyone wants to, everyone tries it.
00:05:19.620 Yeah.
00:05:19.940 What benefits do you get out of it now, I guess?
00:05:22.720 I actually write about it a lot in my book.
00:05:24.840 Like, I talk about, like, to me, it is no different than, like, my glasses or my shoes.
00:05:30.860 It is something that, like, I need to get through my day-to-day life.
00:05:35.600 What if you don't have it?
00:05:36.920 It would be exactly like if I didn't have my glasses or my shoes.
00:05:39.860 It would be like, I wouldn't die, but I'd be like, everything's a lot harder to do than I would.
00:05:45.260 What was the last time?
00:05:46.060 Than it normally is.
00:05:46.660 Do we have mods in the chat right now?
00:05:48.960 Is there any way we can get rid of whatever the fuck that is?
00:05:51.860 Go to, go to, listen, I know if it's it.
00:05:54.180 Go to nightbot.tv, sign in, go to the spam shit, and just turn on the symbols.
00:05:59.860 That'll all get timed out, like that.
00:06:01.840 Okay, all for any symbols.
00:06:03.520 No more symbols.
00:06:04.620 No more symbols.
00:06:05.540 So, when was the last time you didn't smoke weed?
00:06:08.880 Like, what, do you remember or no?
00:06:10.380 Yeah, I was in Singapore once, around in 2011.
00:06:17.380 Is that hard?
00:06:18.360 Wow.
00:06:18.900 And in Singapore, you get executed if you smoke weed.
00:06:21.780 Killed?
00:06:22.360 Yeah, and so I did not smoke weed in Singapore.
00:06:25.520 Was there a slight part of you that was like, it might be worth it?
00:06:29.040 No.
00:06:30.360 And they do not, and when you arrive at the airport in Singapore, they put a thing, they
00:06:35.160 give you a thing that says, if you have any drugs on you, you will be executed in no uncertain
00:06:41.500 terms.
00:06:42.060 Holy fuck.
00:06:42.780 So, I was like, yeah, I'm not fucking around with this shit.
00:06:45.640 What's their execution method there?
00:06:47.200 Firing, firing swallowing?
00:06:48.040 Well, if you're my age and you're not, but if you're around 40, there's one thing you
00:06:53.340 know about Singapore.
00:06:54.340 And that is, in the 90s, there was a guy who was American, who went to Singapore on vacation
00:07:00.420 and tagged a...
00:07:03.500 His Twitch channel.
00:07:04.400 Yeah, exactly.
00:07:04.920 He tagged, like, a wall.
00:07:06.540 No way.
00:07:07.020 And the punishment was, he was publicly beaten with a cane.
00:07:11.480 And it was an American guy.
00:07:13.160 So, it was a huge news story.
00:07:15.080 What the fuck?
00:07:15.480 It was everywhere.
00:07:18.020 And so, that was...
00:07:19.720 And Weird Al Yankovic wrote a song about it.
00:07:22.020 He did.
00:07:22.700 Called Live Bologna.
00:07:23.720 Yeah, exactly.
00:07:24.960 He did the opposite.
00:07:26.420 Yeah.
00:07:26.600 He did just, he did just symbols.
00:07:28.660 Is that what you wanted to do?
00:07:29.620 No, no, no, no.
00:07:30.080 You go to Nightbale.
00:07:31.060 That's funny.
00:07:31.500 Take symbols out.
00:07:32.600 So, now all we have is symbols.
00:07:33.540 Now all we have is symbols.
00:07:34.980 Stupid faces.
00:07:35.880 If you're watching, please donate a dollar or something like that.
00:07:38.740 Yeah, guys, donate.
00:07:39.700 Thank you.
00:07:40.380 Hilarity for charity.
00:07:41.200 I'll tell you what.
00:07:41.820 If we get the deal, I'll let him shave my beard.
00:07:45.180 Wow.
00:07:46.220 If we get the shave, he can shave it on stream right now.
00:07:48.740 Do we have the shavers for that? 0.99
00:07:50.260 I'll just chew it off.
00:07:51.260 Yeah, oh, that.
00:07:54.760 So, why Alzheimer's?
00:07:56.420 Did you talk about this on the last...
00:07:57.560 No, not that much.
00:07:59.140 My mother-in-law, my wife's mother, was diagnosed when she was in her 50s.
00:08:04.040 And we were in her 20s.
00:08:05.960 So, we were around your guys' age when we started dealing with it.
00:08:12.020 And it was devastating.
00:08:13.860 And we felt like there was nothing we could do.
00:08:17.120 And so, we started a charity because it just made us feel like we had some control over the situation.
00:08:23.260 And at the time, especially, if you got a diagnosis for Alzheimer's, they would tell you that there's no treatment and there's no cure and there's pretty much nothing that can be done about it.
00:08:31.540 It's fucked up.
00:08:31.860 But now, that is not the case.
00:08:34.340 And there's already things like brain health, things that we know we can do to help prevent Alzheimer's, which is not something that people knew was even a thing.
00:08:44.520 And things like...
00:08:45.280 And so, like, if there's one thing that I am fascinated by, and I think especially young people should wrap their heads around, it's, like, the idea that you can keep your brain healthy.
00:08:54.720 Like, you could, just like you can keep your lungs healthy, you can keep your heart healthy, you can keep your brain healthy.
00:09:00.780 What are some tips that kids watching this can do to try to achieve...
00:09:04.560 Well, like, sugar is fucking terrible for you.
00:09:07.460 And you've been lied.
00:09:08.460 It's garbage.
00:09:09.000 Like, it is, like, infrastructural propaganda that has been put into your heads that make you think sugar is, like, a remotely acceptable thing to be eating.
00:09:20.620 It isn't.
00:09:21.140 It's, like, poisonous for you.
00:09:23.220 Literally.
00:09:24.220 It's terrible for your brain.
00:09:25.860 And sleep is incredibly important.
00:09:28.600 And that's another thing.
00:09:29.540 Is there's this, like, philosophy that you probably hear is, like, you'll sleep when you're dead.
00:09:34.460 Like, that is not a good philosophy.
00:09:37.420 Like, sleep is important.
00:09:39.160 And I think a lot of people like to make it seem like you're lazy if you need sleep.
00:09:44.300 Or, you know, you're not maximizing your potential or some shit.
00:09:48.160 But, like, sleep is super important.
00:09:50.960 And it's good for your brain.
00:09:52.400 And if you don't get enough sleep, you will die sooner than you would if you did get enough sleep.
00:09:56.020 That's crazy.
00:09:56.940 Since 2012, they've raised $15 million, over $15 million, for Alzheimer's education, conversation, research.
00:10:06.240 Uh-huh, all that stuff.
00:10:07.140 Yeah, and we provide in-home care for people, too.
00:10:09.600 So, someone with Alzheimer's needs 24 hours a day, seven days a week supervision, basically.
00:10:17.100 And most people, if you're married to someone, then you can't work. 0.63
00:10:21.020 You can't have a job.
00:10:21.720 You can't do anything.
00:10:22.440 And it destroys your entire income structure, you know?
00:10:26.540 And so, yeah, we provide in-home care for people who are dealing with that so they can go about their lives, you know?
00:10:33.780 It's a degenerative neurological disorder.
00:10:36.720 Exactly, yeah.
00:10:37.440 Yeah, so I watched my grandfather pass from Parkinson's, which is a little bit different, but similarly degenerative.
00:10:43.580 And it's one of the toughest things to watch.
00:10:45.560 And so, I commend you guys on starting this and raising all that money.
00:10:49.300 And if you guys are watching this, you can donate to HFC.
00:10:52.180 Today, it's a really good cause.
00:10:55.260 Exclamation point donate.
00:10:56.540 Yeah.
00:10:56.720 I don't know what that does.
00:10:57.600 I still don't know what that does.
00:10:58.940 I'm glad you did.
00:10:59.500 Like, it just automatically takes money out of doing that.
00:11:02.300 30 grand, I'm really going to go get Clippers.
00:11:04.080 No, Chad, I swear to God, if you guys give it 30 grand, he will shave it off right now.
00:11:09.920 Fuck you.
00:11:10.480 It's for a good cause, so.
00:11:11.860 It's for a great cause.
00:11:12.820 Yeah.
00:11:13.620 Are you that attached to your beard?
00:11:15.500 I love it.
00:11:16.100 People said to my beard, did it take you a long time to grow?
00:11:19.780 I'm Jewish.
00:11:20.620 Yeah, exactly.
00:11:21.380 Not that long.
00:11:23.720 You know, I just like.
00:11:24.980 Just to see his back.
00:11:25.940 Yeah.
00:11:26.380 I'm hairy, bro.
00:11:26.700 Do you have a hairy back?
00:11:27.680 Yes.
00:11:28.520 That's, yeah.
00:11:29.200 Do you want to see it?
00:11:29.720 I have a hairy back, too.
00:11:30.960 My back, actually, I'm.
