00:12:00.720and you know me with hollywood i have different types of thoughts and
00:12:08.500and you know i've passed up on some uh pilots and different you know sitcom ideas and things
00:12:16.280that people have tried to get me into there's even an animated series coming out um on netflix
00:12:23.440that i did that i got offered a role in i just just different things that i just didn't really
00:12:27.840tickle my fancy really or even even rub my fancy at all and um but this kind of hit me a little
00:12:36.240bit different and it was just a direct uh it was a direct message from a man who's funny and who
00:12:45.060who i've i've found for myself that i admire even outside of their work um and even though i don't
00:12:52.940know him i just i guess that doesn't make any sense then i guess i just felt like i've always
00:12:58.800felt like he was one of the good guys um now next thing you know uh they had me come in and
00:13:08.200meet with a producer and uh just go over one of the roles and gianni who works here the beautiful
00:13:17.440little guy you know that little christmas ornament i mean definitely the kind of guy you
00:13:23.620he seemed he seemed like the kind of guy that would hang out of the he'd just be kind of laying
00:13:29.200around the soap dish in a male bathhouse you know gianni well he helped me go over the lines and
00:13:35.860work on it and uh and went and met with one of the producers and then they offered me
00:13:42.220the opportunity to be in the film and so that's what I'm going to do I decided that I'm going to
00:13:51.940go do to go do the film you know I spoke with a lot of other people that have been in this
00:13:59.080situation or you know had this type of offer you know Sebastian Maniscalco I spoke with him about
00:14:07.660it. Coco Diaz, we chatted. Brian Callan even helped me work on the lines to go read with
00:14:15.320the producer. And even Chris D'Elia almost helped me work on the lines, but he had to
00:14:22.120go do something. But yeah, so, you know, I guess I'm nervous, but I'm excited. You know,
00:14:30.400I'm definitely excited. And it's like, it's going to be a movie that people can see. And
00:14:35.680look, I'm really, you know, I'm excited about it. Um, but with everything, uh, there is a cost
00:14:41.220and one of the reasons, you know, that I'm, uh, you know, something that's hurting me about it,
00:14:49.140that's really getting me inside of me right now is that, um, I have to reschedule some tour dates
00:14:54.320and, and I'm bummed about that. You know, I'm really bummed about it. Um, so those dates that
00:15:02.080I'm going to have to reschedule, and I'll talk more about it after, are Glasgow, Dublin, Oslo, Stockholm, London, Manchester, Amsterdam, Sayreville, Bethlehem, PA, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Madison.
00:15:43.600You know, I've really been looking forward to doing the European tour.
00:15:47.420Like, and I guess I'm just, you know, I guess I don't, I don't want you to think that I don't care.
00:15:59.960You know, I thought a lot about this, you know, it's been, you know, the past month it's been kind of like in limbo and I've thought a lot about it and, and, and I think it also has been presented to me at a time where, where I needed some break.
00:16:28.140from what's been going on uh i haven't been feeling that good to be honest with you
00:16:34.800you know i've been feeling very a lot of stress and i've been feeling like i haven't been able
00:16:40.800to connect very much with myself um i felt like i haven't been able to connect sometimes when
00:16:46.560i've been on some tour dates uh and i think some of it's just been exhaustion um and
00:16:56.220And just the fact that this came about, like, that Mr. Pratt reached out to me directly.
00:17:04.960And I didn't have to go through, like, a lot of Hollywood hoopla.
00:17:09.040You know, I've just put myself out there.
00:17:12.280And honestly, man, it felt like I did it my way.
00:17:17.940and that, you know, and to get to then go and be in like a movie where,
00:20:29.360You know, this might be, I think, maybe the best show I've ever put together.
00:20:34.080And so I still want people to see that specifically.
00:20:37.280And, you know, the place you reach out to for your tickets, they will be the place that will reach out to you for reimbursement or to reschedule.
00:20:48.040They'll send you information however they send it.
00:20:50.720um and if you have other questions then you can email producer at uh at theovan.com or you can
00:21:01.700uh hit the hotline and we'll do our best to answer whatever we can as well but
00:21:06.220your best bet is going to be to go through the ticket people so man i'm sorry i feel really bad
00:21:13.920Um, but, but I feel, I mean, I just, I can't even explain to you fully how I've been feeling
00:21:22.640like in the past, uh, two weeks, especially like, I feel like, uh, I've just been hit
00:21:28.100a little bit of burnout and I haven't felt like myself, even on the, uh, even on the
00:21:34.080podcast episodes, you know, I've just felt, uh, disconnected.
00:21:39.500I noticed when my family was visiting that I felt like I couldn't really relate with
00:21:43.900and I couldn't be the person that I wanted to be.
00:21:48.120You know, I've missed like being like a little bit more joyous and stuff.
00:21:54.020My brain feels like it's always, you know how when you're taking a test sometimes
00:21:58.220and you have to like, you know, you know, you know how normally you go into class, right?
00:22:03.520If you was in high school or if you was in remedial, you know, whatever.0.84
00:22:08.480Or if you fucking just were born and then got a job when you were about 18, whatever.0.95
00:22:13.900maybe you didn't do school but remember school you would kind of goof around it was relaxing0.99
00:22:19.740you could live your life and then on test day the thing i hated the most about test day in school
00:22:26.200is that you couldn't have a regular day of class where you could have fun and enjoy each other's0.99
00:22:32.840vibe and feel you know shoot a thing at fucking little rodney bro shoot a little uh spitball0.99
00:22:40.120dude hit him you know ball him once1.00
00:38:33.540It wasn't about me, but I just wanted to let him know, look, man, if something makes you feel good, man, then, man, that makes me feel good.
00:38:44.640And I've just had a lot of electricity in my firm, man.
00:38:49.480It's been hard for me to connect with others.
00:38:55.340So, you know, and I'm learning as I go, and I didn't want to like, you know, and maybe this will be a lesson where I just, I don't know.
00:45:13.440Austin and Logan calling you from Colorado.
00:45:16.180Thank you for calling, boys, out there in Colorado, and you're probably on them, I'm guessing them little bears, them gummy bears they got, that DSB or whatever.
00:45:29.080Right now on a cross-country road trip from California to Florida, we've been listening to your show to pass the time, the long hours on the road.
00:45:38.260and you have a lot of themes going on in your in your shows but one of the ones that we're really
00:45:45.260we're really noticing is uh living in gratitude and um we're just super grateful to be able to

00:52:32.020Just wanted to thank you for all you do for single moms and dads, but I want to make sure you know that you've been a positive force for us married fathers, too.
00:52:40.160I married my college sweetheart, and we have six kids who are 10 years apart.
00:58:50.980He's got two kids, both of them wearing white shirts.
00:58:53.800They looked kind of like a little bit of like maybe Latino or Latino Hebrew, but like fancy, fancy Latino, not like Mexicano.
00:59:03.200I'm talking about like, you know, like Pablo Escobar's little boys, you know, they're both wearing collared shirts.0.85
00:59:10.100The dad's over there picking his teeth with something, probably the bone of a poor person, you know, and and the kids reminded me of the Menendez boys.0.89
00:59:19.320I said oh damn you know sashimi today uh you know sashimi today but um and probably murder0.95
00:59:30.560tomorrow this boy I could just see in 15 years that these boys was probably gonna be doing crime0.99
