00:00:54.340He gets right up next to the microphone.
00:00:56.020I hear you can almost hear the eyelashes hit each other.
00:00:58.980You've never seen Italy so quiet as when the Pope gets up to wink on Halloween.
00:01:04.480Listen to Artists on Artists on Artists on Artists every Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:01:22.020Each week I bring on an amazing guest.
00:30:14.420So it was just like these insane acts because you had to outdo the one before.
00:30:18.440It's almost like you start edging on this, like, pagan, ritualistic, like.
00:30:23.840It's like, honestly, more, okay, so it's more like, you know, when you're running an organization that large, it becomes its own self-contained society.
00:30:32.260There's, you know, births, deaths, marriages, affairs, there's love, you know, there's hate, there's every emotion, every relationship going on within this organization, right?
00:30:40.240Thousands of young kids all making millions of bucks, right?
00:40:26.780I was like, you know, you just get to a point you're so done.
00:40:28.980And the beauty is, and there's always a light at the end of the tunnel here, which is not an oncoming train, is that, you know, when you're done with drugs, it's actually really easy to get sober.
00:40:38.860The problem is all the pain and suffering you have to go through before you're done.
00:49:43.040Throughout your life, throughout your lives, guys, you know, you get a lot of shit that's not going to go the way you want, right?1.00
00:49:48.180And you need to get really close to success, and it'll be snatched away from you.0.95
00:49:51.540And, you know, a lot of people at that time, that's when they start telling themselves a bullshit story about they can't get what they want in life, and they give up, right?
00:49:57.340So what happened was is they bought—Warner Brothers bought the rights for Leo.
00:50:01.720A guy named Terry Winter, famous writer, he pens the script, usually takes five, six drafts.
00:50:06.660The first draft's un-fucking-believable.0.98
01:16:52.080what would you recommend what would you put into place to get us back on track or to0.94
01:16:56.620i would do i i think that economically trump has fucking nailed it he's nailed it so i wouldn't
01:17:03.500there's not much i would do different he's nailed it and i i agree with all the stuff even even with0.89
01:17:08.580the tariffs because it's just a game of chicken with him it's not going to be long-term trade
01:17:12.160it's going to be short-term to to reset trade deals that we should never been in the play0.95
01:17:15.500our trade deals are so fucking bad it's just like it's ridiculous right that being said so i agree0.76
01:17:20.500But the thing that I would do differently, though, is the way it's being communicated, okay, is that Trump, he creates a visceral hatred among people.0.93
01:17:45.540So if you could find the, you know, that would be amazing.1.00
01:17:49.120So I wouldn't change much fiscally, but I would certainly, like, I'm very, I'm not as liberal as you get when it comes to things like, you know, gay men.0.93
01:40:51.160Not on set, just tons of time before, like just about a year preparing.
01:40:55.360And, you know, one thing I don't think people realize about him is he is really serious about what he does.
01:41:01.500Like I said, he's naturally talented, but, dude, the amount of preparation, this guy tortured himself over every word, every line of script.
