Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. The Pot Business & Life in California

[02:14–07:00]

• Maher and Harrelson discuss co-owning their cannabis dispensary, “the Woods”, and the struggles of running any business in California’s regulatory climate.
• Heavy emphasis is placed on the punitive taxation (“They’re going to tax you 35%...” – Harrelson, 03:22), banking restrictions, and the stigmatization that persists despite legalization.
  • “They treat it like you’re lucky that we allow you to do this.” (Harrelson, 03:22)
  • Maher complains: “I’m never happy when anybody fucks with my money. I’m gangster like that.” (Maher, 04:03)
• The lingering issue of cannabis-related cash being “unbankable” persists: “Everybody would have truckloads of cash around, so of course they were a target for robbers.” (Maher, 04:44)
• Harrelson on product ritual and “meeting the farmers”—emphasizing the importance of quality, sun-grown weed and a connection to its source.

2. Woody’s Film Career: Reflection & Upcoming Projects

[08:46–14:00, 21:25–23:43]

• Woody reveals he’s done about 100 films, discussing his philosophy on working longevity in Hollywood.
• Talks up his new film “Cackling of the Dodos” with Jason Bateman (directing) and Sam Rockwell—praising Bateman’s talents: “The script went from pretty good to, like, Coen Brothers.” (Harrelson, 09:12)
• Explains his role as Boxer the horse in Andy Serkis’s animated adaptation of Animal Farm. Harrelson explores the story’s resonance: “I used to always think it was about Russia, but now I equally think it’s about America.” (Harrelson, 22:26)

[12:39–13:55, 29:09–31:12]

• Maher affectionately ribs Woody for surrounding himself with attractive, good-natured male friends (e.g., McConaughey, Owen Wilson), likening it to Burt Reynolds’ entourage.

• Both comment on the peculiar intimacy and loss that comes with the end of movie productions: “You’re always falling in love and then getting divorced.” (Maher, 105:00)

4. On Aging & Health

[23:43–26:13, 64:10–67:42]

• Philosophize about aging in public and in private—Maher quips about “playing Bad Grandpa,” and Woody details how acting icons De Niro and Eastwood work well into old age.
• Candid (and comic) reflections on physical changes:
  • “Everything would be cool if it wasn’t for the road map above the neck...once you get to the neck, [you see] little telltale signs of aging.” (Harrelson, 64:10)
  • Hilarious detour on which body part looks unchanged with age: “My dick. I’m not kidding—it looks the same.” (Maher, 64:57)
• Both reminisce about their wilder, harder-living days, with Woody candid about regular stints giving up booze and weed: “I quit drinking frequently. I quit smoking frequently...But Willie happened.” (Harrelson, 16:20)
• On health: "I used my body like a car taking me both near and far." (Maher, 66:34)

5. The Joys and Ironies of Pot

[16:47–20:34, 34:20–35:50, 52:50–55:25, 90:00–91:20]

• The Willie Nelson anecdote: Woody shares how Willie (via reverse psychology) got him to smoke again after a long break—“Welcome home, son.” (Harrelson, 17:59)
• Both riff on “healthy” cannabis, wellness culture, weed rituals, and the counterculture roots of their customer base: “The pot crowd, I feel, is also a health crowd.” (Maher, 15:37)
• They joke about getting parrots high by accident in their dispensary lounge.

6. Literature: Harrelson’s Dickens Obsession

[38:56–46:02]

• Woody reveals his deep, ongoing love affair with Charles Dickens, describing marathon reading of David Copperfield, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, and more.

  • “This guy packs more in one sentence than anyone ever did.” (Harrelson, 44:27)
• Maher laments: “A large part of the population reads zero...a book is just not something...Maybe you know, kind of a self help book or some, you know, picture book.” (Maher, 45:13)
• Both express sadness over the death of book culture and the rise of “scrolling.”

7. The State of the Arts, Media, & AI

[47:34–50:00, 76:32–79:16, 80:37–82:46, 85:20–89:28]

• Maher and Woody bemoan the changing state of cinema, ballet, and culture becoming like “opera and ballet—just a very small group go.”
• Discuss streaming wars, subscription fatigue, and the ironies of the AI era. (Maher, 79:01: "You think AI can do this? Can AI get this high? Good luck, AI.")

8. Woody’s Unique Friendships & Hollywood Anecdotes

[59:29–60:51, 91:20–97:29]

• Discusses his enduring friendship with McConaughey and speculation about possibly being real brothers.
• Stories of friendship and missed connections with Hollywood legends, notably Marlon Brando:
  • “He was one of the most extraordinary humans I ever met...So playful, just constantly ready to be...playing.” (Harrelson, 97:00)
• Maher notes Woody’s “superpower” of staying close with collaborators, marveling at the ongoing “bro coven.”

9. Cannabis Science, Personal Responsibility, and Humor

[113:24–115:08, 114:41–115:10]

• Loose speculation about endocannabinoid receptors and why pot affects people so differently.

Tone and Style

The episode is characteristically loose, irreverent, and free-associative, full of inside jokes, running gags, and drawn-out bits. Maher and Harrelson’s chemistry is palpable, each challenging and playfully undercutting the other. Under the haze of weed and laughter, the pair manage genuine insights about business, friendship, health, aging, art, and the oddities of modern (and showbiz) life.

Club Random. I don't know, I. You're a leader. You're a natural leader.

[Club Random Host]

That's why. Oh cool.

[Woody Harrelson]

Club Random.

[Club Random Host]

We decided to go here the woods for this is our 420 episode to celebrate 420 at the Pot store that you and I own together. Much more of your money, thank God. But we're trying. It's not easy to make a business work in California.

[Woody Harrelson]

California just messes with every businessman.

[Club Random Host]

I mean I don't want to like start this off. Why not just shitting on California. But California deserves to be shit on for a lot of this kind of stuff. And people know and this is why people flee the state. Like there is. What is that?

[Woody Harrelson]

Watermelon juice?

[Club Random Host]

I'll have a little. Yeah Watermelon. Why is that like a big health thing now?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, it hydrates you better than anything actually. Watermelon and coconut are the best hydrates.

[Club Random Host]

But yeah, California sucks as far as. Well all businesses, but certainly this one, they still treat it like it's poison.

[Woody Harrelson]

They treat it.

[Club Random Host]

It's legal, it's not, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. They treat it like you're lucky that you are that you. That we allow you to do this. And so we're going to tax you 35% which is way more. It's more than double anything. Nothing's. I don't even know what's the second but you know, like guns, 10%, right. Like just to give you. What's beer, you know, beer is like what, 3% or something, you know, like it's. It's ridiculous that they can just tax the out of you and make it so hard anyway. I don't want to bitch and moan. I'm a happy person.

[Club Random Host]

Well, generally I'm not happy about this.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I'm not happy.

[Club Random Host]

I'm never happy when anybody fucks with my money. I'm gangster like that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, well they.

[Club Random Host]

And they're fucking with my money.

[Woody Harrelson]

They also don't allow you to write anything off. They don't allow you to write anything off and they tax you 35%.

[Club Random Host]

And also for the longest time it was a very risky business because you couldn't put the money in the bank, right? The banks wouldn't take your dirty fucking pot money that you fucking hippies got by what, smoking pot? That money can't change your. The whole lease of culture. That is a bank, right? Nothing's shitty whatever on in there. But you know what I'm talking about. Is that still going on or do you have.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's still going on.

[Club Random Host]

And everybody would have truckloads of cash around, so of course they were a target for robbers. Right?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, they make it. That's another thing they do for you here in California though. You can do. Some banks I heard can do it. Not.

[Club Random Host]

Yes, no, it's changing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, we got. Hey, do we get.

[Club Random Host]

What do you need?

[Woody Harrelson]

I was going to papers. I don't know how I'm going to roll. I need papers and a grinder. These guys are listening. They'll. They'll suggest it to someone anyway. Or we could just go for this. But that's indica straight up.

[Club Random Host]

You don't have any. What? You only have indica?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I don't know why we only have indica here. I. I'd love to have.

[Club Random Host]

Because who works. I know why. Because. Who works? Pot store stoners.

[Woody Harrelson]

Stoners, Exactly. So if you guys are listening down there, we'd like to get some sativa, some hybrid, you know, whatever you can do.

[Club Random Host]

So this is you. You like. You prefer to do. That's right.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's my favorite right there. These guys are great. Purple papaya.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. I did a photo shoot, as you know, and I smoked. They. You know, they wanted a picture of me. It's. I love the picture. You know, it was a couple of years ago. It was right up here, I think. Or one of the other.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, we have it. We have it down.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, yeah. And so they gave me a prop joint, but it was. It was your. I forget, block mambo or. And I must have Keefe in it or something, because I was smoking. It just. It took a few pups for the shot. Cool shots, you know, it's like Humphrey Bogart if he was a pot smoker. You know, when the smoke is sexy, it just is. People like, it looks cool and picky. So the. You know. And I didn't realize, like, three or four hits, and I was like, it takes a lot to get me stung. I don't know what was in this shit, but I had interviews to do after. And I never said that. I said to my publicist, I can't talk. I can't do an interview right now. I don't know what's going to come out of my mouth. I feel like I'm on one of those people who goes, takes Ambien and they don't know what the fuck they do in the middle of the night. You know, they're like, kennedy drove into the Capitol. Not. You know, what Kennedy. One of the Kennedys, Patrick.

[Woody Harrelson]

I think not Teddy.

[Club Random Host]

Not Teddy. He drove into a river. And then the limousine. These people are bad with cars, but they stuck with their. There you go.

[Woody Harrelson]

We're talking. Yeah, yeah. Come on in, Hulk. Hey. Hulk, this is Bill.

[Club Random Host]

We know each other.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, you got a grinder. Oh, good. Sativa.

[Club Random Host]

And.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, two sativas. Nice. Okay, brother. Thank you. Thank you. Okay.

[Club Random Host]

But you always. You. This is your thing. You. You like the ritual of preparing the drugs.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, no, I'm happy to have a pre roll, but it's just that this particular. This. This herb right here, I'm telling you, I met the Farmers. I'm like, I'm coming up to meet you guys up there, which I haven't yet followed through, but these guys are.

[Club Random Host]

That's our pledge to you from the woods. We meet the Farmers.

[Woody Harrelson]

We meet the farmers.

[Club Random Host]

Lot of we do.

[Woody Harrelson]

We give a shit about what we're.

[Club Random Host]

You think they'd do that at Pot R Us or whatever the fuck other shitty stories are around here? No, they don't meet the farmers. And when they do meet the farmers, the farmers are way more impressed with you. Honey, you'll never guess who came to the fork today. Woody Harrelson, the guy from Cheers. Yeah. They haven't caught up to your movies.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, no, it's. I've done a hundred. It doesn't matter.

[Club Random Host]

Have you really done 100?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, a hundred movies. And that's what I was with Jason because we were. You know, we're gonna do a movie together.

[Club Random Host]

What is the movie you're doing with him?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, it's called Cackling of the Dodos with Sam Rockwell as well. So we were just, you know, running scenes together today and.

[Club Random Host]

So you and Jason Bateman.

[Woody Harrelson]

Jason's directing it.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, he's directing it.

[Woody Harrelson]

And he did. Writing on it. He made the script. I really feel like the script went from pretty good to, like, Coen Brothers. Like, it really became a terrific. That guy is so sharp.

[Club Random Host]

I agree. I think he's entering another level with directing in his career. So that's good. As always, you find a way to hit your wagon to people who can do you some good in the business. I love the way you do that. I love the way you. Hang on. I mean, what are you. Are you 65?

[Woody Harrelson]

64.

[Club Random Host]

64.

[Woody Harrelson]

So I'm retiring, obviously, next year.

[Club Random Host]

But you're not retiring. But you will be playing Bad grandpa. No, I mean, I don't mean that as an insult. In fact, I mean that as a compliment. Because when you get to these upper ages, the only way you can stay hired is if you were iconic, like, okay, De Niro. Yes. We will play. We will use you to your dead. We will. The Clint Eastwood could be. Possibly is 99, right?

[Woody Harrelson]

He's.

[Club Random Host]

And he did a movie. And I love Clet Eastwood. The few filmmakers. I would speak up for more. I mean, I would love to meet him. One of the few I would love to meet.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, really?

[Club Random Host]

Oh, absolutely.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, me too.

[Club Random Host]

And just say thank you for the entertainment. I mean, and, you know, so what a great, amazing career with different phases and what a. You know, anyway, you know, they. They hate him in Hollywood because he's, you know, sort of a Republican. It's like, oh, come on. Really? Do you have to fucking obsess about that? He's not.

[Woody Harrelson]

Because, you know, I live in Texas Dude, I mean, I'm, I'm meeting. It's all day long I'm meeting. I'm hanging with Republicans and you know, like, you don't, you just don't talk about, Don't. Let's not, not. Let's just not talk about it. I don't want to talk about Trump, I don't want to talk about Biden. And to me, as you know, I'm an anarchist.

[Club Random Host]

That's how most.

[Woody Harrelson]

So I don't.

[Club Random Host]

Right, right, you're an anarchist.

[Woody Harrelson]

I am. I don't believe in government. Government's fucked.

[Club Random Host]

Okay, well, agreed.

[Woody Harrelson]

Every once in a while there's a good, There's a good government every once in a while.

[Club Random Host]

Okay?

[Woody Harrelson]

I mean, when's the last good government you saw?

[Club Random Host]

All, almost all democratic governments are way better than anarchy. Anarchy is. You know, have you seen all those movies that take place like after the war, the big war, the apocalyptic now it's, you know, it's just this bleak landscape. The, you know what? The, the one with. Not Road Runner. Blade? No, no, not bad.

[Woody Harrelson]

A Blade Runner?

[Club Random Host]

No, no, that's the future. What's the one? It's like desert and Charlize Theron and somebody else, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

I thought that was Blade.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, Blade Runner is Harrison Ford in the future. This is.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, you mean within Tom.

[Club Random Host]

Yes, yes.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Club Random Host]

And they hated each other on the movie, but. What. No, they did.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, we all heard.

[Club Random Host]

Really. I mean, it doesn't matter. You can hate. People hate each other and make movies together all the time. Not you. I mean all, all your co stars. I must say, when you, you are a guy who stays friend with everybody you ever work with, it seems.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I wish that were true.

[Club Random Host]

Especially the men, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Especially the men.

[Club Random Host]

Especially the good looking younger men. I'm not saying, but like when you think about who's in your. You know, from McConaughey and Owen Wilson and then, you know, who's the latest one? James Marsden and Franco, you know, I'm just saying you surround yourself with attractive young men. It's very normal thing to do. Burt Reynolds did it for years. Charles Nelson Riley.

[Woody Harrelson]

Wow. I'm starting to get the feeling.

[Club Random Host]

Dom DeLuise, he.

[Woody Harrelson]

Man like that. Yeah. Paul, Paul, what's his name?

[Club Random Host]

Paul Rudd.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's disgusting.

[Club Random Host]

He must. Oh, Paul Lynn.

[Woody Harrelson]

Paul Lynn. Yeah, he was. Oh, he was great.

[Club Random Host]

So what are we smoking?

[Woody Harrelson]

And this is the, this is, this, this is the. We're calling it Woody's personal statue. But, but it's, it's going to Change. And I think I'm going to call it Woody's Goodies or something. But it's. I mean, it's. It's nicer, but what? Very nice. This. Oh, this is. This is from. This is from Humboldt.

[Club Random Host]

So you talked to the farmer about this one?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. The farmer was here.

[Club Random Host]

And what did he say?

[Woody Harrelson]

And, you know, Harry's real slick about it. Just that he hit a home run and he knows it, and everybody who tasted is like, that is great herb.

[Club Random Host]

I thought farmers were modest.

[Woody Harrelson]

Huh?

[Club Random Host]

I thought farmers were modest. You know, I mean.

[Woody Harrelson]

I mean, no, he's very modest, actually. Him and his wife, very modest. But. But they do know they have a beautiful product here. And, you know, but everything that I love is it's a. It's sun grown, it's soil nourished. It's. The water is cle.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know, it's not like, you know, so much of the herb people. There's a lot of herb here at this place that I would never smoke. And it's just like, you know, the water came from the valley. You know, it's never seen the sun, it's never seen soil. And so my whole dream is to try to make. Even though it's not as lucrative, but in the end, it doesn't matter because, you know, more people coming in to saying, oh, I want that really more healthy, better vibe. So you don't smoke one. You want to just lay down on the couch.

[Club Random Host]

I couldn't agree more. You know what else would be great? Lucrative.

[Woody Harrelson]

Lucrative would be.

[Club Random Host]

And you know what? The truth is that they're not mutually exclusive. That one does feed the other. If you. If you let people know what the product is and why it's better, they will pay a little more.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know, I mean, the pot crowd, I feel, is also a health crowd. You know, make your own. Okay. Sitting on the couch, eating Cheetos. Joe. Yes, there's that aspect of pot, but generally it's. I feel like it's more people who are into more like wellness and that kind of stuff. Health kind of stuff.

[Woody Harrelson]

Hippies.

[Club Random Host]

That's right. Well, because liquor is not. Is the worst for you. We're not doing that. Well, I mean, sometimes we are doing that, too. No, I would never. I would never. Yeah, right.

[Woody Harrelson]

I do. You know me, I drink. I do.

[Club Random Host]

But you then go through stark periods where you renounce it like it saved me.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's true.

[Club Random Host]

I know it's true.

[Woody Harrelson]

I quit drinking frequently. I quit smoking frequently out of the last time I think you probably remember I quit for 20, almost two years. Squit pot. And then, of course, Willie. Willie happened. And he had many times tried to get me to. You're staying focused and you're being, okay, I'll have a little bit.

[Club Random Host]

But I thought he was.

[Woody Harrelson]

I ran into Willie and he had. I'd already had the experience countless times where Willie kept trying to, you know, he'd be like. And I'd like, Willie, remember I quit? And he's like, oh, oh, oh, okay. You know, And. And then, you know, a week later, I'd see him and he'd be like. And I'd be, willie, remember I quit? And he'd go, oh, oh, oh, okay, okay. And. And anyway, we were at this game, right? And poker. And then usually, like, you have a bad beat, you got beat down. Bad is a great time. You know, I take a beating in a hand and I see Willie and I. Willie, I quit. You know, I quit. Oh, okay. And then he did a reverse psychology on me. I won a big hand, right? And he had his pen with the Willies reserve, which I had never had, his Willys Reserve. And so he just, like, it's his strain that he. The Willie strain. So anyway, it was in a pit.

[Club Random Host]

It was supposed to be like the bomb kind of pot.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, no, I didn't know. I just thought, it's Willie's. I want to try it. And so he had offered it to me several times, Willie. And anyway, so finally I win this big hand, and I'm like, yes, right? Boom. He's sitting next to me, just hands out the pen, and I'm like, fuck it, you know. And he goes, welcome home, son. And that was it.

[Club Random Host]

But I thought he was the one who couldn't smoke pot. Now.

[Woody Harrelson]

He doesn't smoke now.

[Club Random Host]

Okay, see, this must be before, because the last time I went to Hawaii, I remember backstage there was all this Michigan about, like, you know, don't tempt Willie and don't offer Willie. Keep away from Willie.

[Woody Harrelson]

Easily tempted, by the way.

[Club Random Host]

Willie is smoking a joint. He. You know. But I guess he is emphysema.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, it's just, you know, like he smoked cigarettes. Cigarettes from when he was like 11 or something.

[Club Random Host]

You don't think this.

[Woody Harrelson]

And he. And he smoked it for whatever, 40, 50 years, and he. He really wanted to quit. And so what he did was he rolled up like 20 joints, emptied all the cigarettes, put all the. Yeah. Put all the joints in the cigarette pack. And every time he wanted a cigarette, he smoked a joint. So he Replaced completely the cigarettes. But he was smoking pretty continuously. And eventually. I mean, look, guys like you and I, we want to believe there's no ill effect, but smoking just can't be good for you on any level of anything you're smoking.

[Club Random Host]

I. You know, I was about to just ask you that question, and what a depressing answer. I was actually hoping it would be from you, a hippie, always looking on the bright side. That's bleak. But true. You're right.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's true. It's true.

[Club Random Host]

You know, we may. Yeah, but don't you think that if we keep talking long enough, we can convince ourselves of the opposite? No, I'm kidding. But don't you think there is a different, much different effect from only smoking? I mean, you don't smoke all day long, right?

[Woody Harrelson]

No.

[Club Random Host]

When you. Even when you smoke, I don't either.

[Woody Harrelson]

Like, I didn't smoke today till just now.

[Club Random Host]

I didn't smoke at all yesterday.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, well, you're very disciplined. I'm not. I'm not.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know, I'm not like you. Many times I've passed you a joint and you're like, not right now.

[Club Random Host]

Blah, blah, blah.

[Woody Harrelson]

If someone passes me a joint, right, I'm ingesting it. Unless I'm doing an interview, right? And the only person I've done an interview high with is you. That last interview, I was so high and so drunk. My God, we had to cut like 45 minutes of that thing. Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, I'd like to see that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I'd like.

[Club Random Host]

I'd like to see the uncut, the

[Woody Harrelson]

unedited version, as the rabbi said.

[Club Random Host]

I'd like to see the uncut version. Good night, everybody. As the pedophile rabbi said, there's a better version of that joke. Okay, well, shit. I was gonna ask you something important. What are your. What are your new projects? I hear you're an animal in a movie.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, yeah. We did Animal Farm.

[Club Random Host]

There you go.

[Woody Harrelson]

Andy Serkis directed, and it is.

[Club Random Host]

Who's that now?

[Woody Harrelson]

It's beautiful.

[Club Random Host]

Who is that?

[Woody Harrelson]

Andy Serkis. You know, he did. He played Gollum. He's known for doing these. He was Caesar in the Apes movies. And he's just a phenomenal physical actor. But he's also just a great actor, just generally. I. I did a play with him in London, Ulster, American, and. Oh, my God, is he amazing.

[Club Random Host]

But this is a cartoon.

[Woody Harrelson]

But, yeah, the Animal Farm's a cartoon. And I play Boxer, the horse. So I'm going. They're going to premiere it in New York.

[Club Random Host]

I'M not sure I ever got around to Animal Farm. I know what it is. I know it's Orwell.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

And I know it's a. Well, I guess I don't. It's a sly commentary on.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. On what's. I. I used to always think it was about Russia, but now I equally think it's about America. You know, it's ultimately about totalitarian. Yeah. Big Brother kind of just taking over and every, you know, everything being controlled by Big Brother, which is pretty much

[Club Random Host]

where we're at right now, so. Same theme as 1984, his other book.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Okay.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. It. It. Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

So you think this is especially.

[Woody Harrelson]

This is an allegory, you know, animals and.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, it's. But it's really well done. The movie is, I think, fantastic. I love it. And I think.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I guess now you've done 101 movies. That is a lot of movies.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's a lot of movies, and they're

[Club Random Host]

all memorable in their own way. You think they're.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, you mean in terms of my experience. I don't know, in terms of watching them.

[Club Random Host]

Trying to imagine, if I had done 100 movies, would I actually remember all of them? Well, I mean, some of them must have been a blur.

[Woody Harrelson]

I think there's several of them that I'm not proud of, but there's quite a few that I am proud of. Very proud of. Some. Some I think are great.

[Club Random Host]

What are you not proud of? I want to hear that list.

[Woody Harrelson]

Huh?

[Club Random Host]

What are you not proud of? I want to hear that list.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I. I don't want to because.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, you don't want to.

[Woody Harrelson]

I did that before.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

People were quite upset about.

[Club Random Host]

Totally. Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

Because you would think. Let yourself just express it.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

But.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I think your batting average is quite good, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Thank you.

[Club Random Host]

No, nobody. I mean, especially if you've been to the plate a hundred times. I mean, you know, no one's. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

Gonna be that many times.

[Club Random Host]

Gonna be some shit.

[Woody Harrelson]

By the way. You know, it's hard to make a movie. Babe Ruth was not just the. You know, was not just the home run king. He was the strikeout king. So, you know, I might be in the Babe Ruth category equally. Home run. I got some home runs, but, boy, do I have some strikeouts or.

[Club Random Host]

Or that. Or. Or Willie Mays.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, right.

[Club Random Host]

Be Willie Mays.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right. Well, Willie Mays probably had better average than.

[Club Random Host]

Well, that story where he brought you back into smoking pot.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, Willie Nelson. Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, that was Willie Nelson.

[Woody Harrelson]

He was saying, willie, I thought we

[Club Random Host]

were talking About Willie May.

[Woody Harrelson]

Did I say Willie?

[Club Random Host]

Maybe joking with you.

[Woody Harrelson]

I don't remember saying Willie May, but I was.

[Club Random Host]

No, but you only said Willie, so it was left open. But, boy, you can hear that bird, can't you?

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, they add a lot to the ambiance, I may say. Yeah, there's some jealousy going on over there.

[Club Random Host]

You know, not to be all infomercial about it, but this place is amazing. And if you haven't visited it and you're in the LA area, dial 800.

[Woody Harrelson]

Gotta get high.

[Club Random Host]

Dial 800 up. No, it is amazing. I mean, there's no pot store like this where the, the front is beautiful, like a pot store. And then there's this. All this jungle in the back with all these cabanas. And the bird, I mean, bird is Mad Men have a bird? I don't think so. We have a bird.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, we got parrots, McCall. We got the whole dilly dally.

[Club Random Host]

And you know, we're here smoking a lot. Wouldn't you want to be in a place where this good smoke vibe, you know, I mean, it's like you go to the zoo, you might see the polar bear or maybe the polar bears not there that day because he's, you know, making a movie. Or maybe the polar bear is just sleeping in the back. But you, but there's a chance you'll see the polar bear. I mean, there is.

[Woody Harrelson]

But there's no other, you know, dispensary or place like this you're going to go to and you're going to see koi fish, you know, you're going to see macaws, you're going to see, you know, the greenery, the fauna, the vibe. Like, to me, you know, I just wanted. And that's why I wanted you to be a part of it because I just wanted to have what I consider to be the most. The greatest dispensary in the world that you would love to just sit down and get high at this place.

[Club Random Host]

Yes. It is really quite a black mark on our records that we've marketed it so badly.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, that's, that's my fault.

[Club Random Host]

It's my fault too. And we're, we're rectifying.

[Woody Harrelson]

We're rectifying.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, we are going to rectify the. Out of this.

[Woody Harrelson]

Rectify this.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. Yes. The rectum of this situation has been destroyed in rectification because enough is enough. And it's. No, I do it for the people because I feel if the people haven't experienced this, they're missing out. It's all about the, I know you're the men of the people. The people love you. You're the, you'll always be that guy from Cheers who, you know, good old Woody. And you know you can slide on anything because you just, you know, you're good old Woody.

[Woody Harrelson]

They just get the pass, get the pass. But I don't know, I, I, I kind of more admire your thing, dude, because you, you are just so fearless. You know, the stuff you say, the stuff you do, I gotta say, and I don't always agree with you, as we know we do fight on some things, but by God, man, you just say what you feel. And honestly, it's not that I don't do that, but I don't do it. Like you, you know, like, I, I, you say stuff that I'm like, oh, oh, God bless Bill Ma. God bless Bill ma. Now at McDonald's, a McDouble is $2.50.

[Club Random Host]

I live alone. All my energy goes toward healing America. I don't have time for a social life, women. I would love to have had a pass with women, but I just passed on the whole thing so I could help America. That's what was important to me, helping America.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's nice that your healing, you know, was not interfered with by, you know, terrible distractions like women. You're just doing the right thing, focusing on America. You're, you're a healer. You're like a surgeon.

[Club Random Host]

If only I could have had all the bromances. You have your roster.

[Woody Harrelson]

I love to see this aspect of your niche. The jealousy, it's in me.

[Club Random Host]

No, you think it's jealousy on my part. It's just weirdness on your part. Like, and I must say, always your top guys, Bert, are like the ones like you, like, who don't like shoes. Like, you know, Owen and McConaughey, you know, like Texans barefoot. It's a whole different category. You know, it's true. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

I mean, I love those guys you

[Club Random Host]

showed up at my house with. Barefoot. No, I mean, just showing up at my house is another issue, Huckleberry.

[Woody Harrelson]

I know.

[Club Random Host]

You know, like, hey, can we go paint offense today?

[Woody Harrelson]

You have a little bit of that curmudgeon thing where you're like, is this cocksucker in my house? Like, what?

[Club Random Host]

What the.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know, it's Sunday, there's no one around. I'm just coming to say hi, smoke a joint and get out of your hair. What the fuck? What. The belligerence. I like my alone time.

[Club Random Host]

I love that about you, that you're. You're still living in Indiana in 1965. It's true. I do. I love that we all would be so much better off if we were. Well, not all of us, just the white people. That's true. You can't ever say that we. There were things that were better in that era, but they will always be compromised because we didn't include everybody in them. And are we now so much better? But still. Still that issue. Of course, we're not going to talk

[Woody Harrelson]

about where the nation's headed.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, that's. That's the great thing about relaxing with a marijuana cigarette, if you will. Jazz cigarette, as the more sophisticated of us called it when we used to go out at Catalina. Oh, oh, you don't.

[Woody Harrelson]

Sorry.

[Club Random Host]

You don't ever clip off the end where it's like dirty like that. So you're not smoking ash. I always have a scissor.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I saw you doing that.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. Yeah, I always circumcised it before.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, there's something about that. I kind of liked it. It just felt like cleaner, you know?

[Club Random Host]

Cleaner when you did that, not when you.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, when you did that.

[Club Random Host]

Well, of course I cut off that part. That look, it's old.

[Woody Harrelson]

It looks like a brand new joint.

[Club Random Host]

Right? Yeah. It's not a hard guys concept for you stoners here on my YouTube channel as we're learning how to smoke a joint, get a scissor. And before you do, you know, do something where you tell everyone in the world that, you know, that you like scissors because that's really important. Like, like, okay. And cut the end off. But we don't have the scissor right here, dude. Oh. Oh, man.

[Woody Harrelson]

You're achieving pure. You're into a pure stoner state. You're cutting that thing in half. Let's start around the black part.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I am.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay, good.

[Club Random Host]

What?

[Woody Harrelson]

Here we go.

[Club Random Host]

Set you back.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, you know, waste not one I'll do it. You do it, sir. Did you think that was too gay? If you were to lean in like this, so would you. No, I, what, what is your homophobia? So I have, I have male friends, I have Mal and I'm boyfriend, you know, that's what crazy homopho. I'm sorry to the, your public that they, that they have to deal with your homophobia on it.

[Club Random Host]

I, I, I'm not saying any of that. I'm just saying it is, it's. You're a unique kind of friend. I mean, you know, I mean, look, which one of us looks more gay today? Me. I look good. You look like a blind hippie who got dressed in the Goodwill store. I look good? I look good.

[Woody Harrelson]

Look at this sweater.

[Club Random Host]

Look at those pants.

[Woody Harrelson]

Look at these fancy pants.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, those are fancy, fancy pants. I thought they were pajamas.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, dude, am I wrong? No, actually, I think pajamas is the best way to go through life.

[Club Random Host]

You tend to dress in that, you know, hippie casual. Well, very. Also in very natural fabrics.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know, no pinky ring, you know? Yeah, nothing too Vegas.

[Woody Harrelson]

Nothing Vegasy.

[Club Random Host]

Do you have one of these, those aura rings that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, it changes color depending on your mood or what?

[Club Random Host]

It's a mood ring, fool.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, all right.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I'll tell you what it does, Clem. What it does is it, hey, what

[Woody Harrelson]

the fuck does that thing do?

[Club Random Host]

It somehow looks inside my body when I'm sleeping and it tells me, like, when I fell asleep, how good I was sleeping. And when I wake up the next day, I look at it and I go, wow. Yeah, that's what I figured. I got a good night's sleep.

[Woody Harrelson]

I gotta get more sleep.

[Club Random Host]

I didn't get a good night's sleep. And there's a proof. That's why I'm so mad at you, woman. I didn't get sleep, but here it is.

[Woody Harrelson]

Did you do something really? Well, I'm proud of you. Now, let me ask you a question. That ring, is that one of those rings that says, okay, you had X amount of sleep, woke up this number of times. Yes. That's a valuable thing.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, I agree. That's why I'm doing it.

[Woody Harrelson]

I haven't got one yet. I, I want to do it, but. Well, how does it, how does it

[Club Random Host]

even, I mean, we will never know that. How does it do it? We. That's not our area. You'd have to have degrees in biology and physics and chemistry.

[Woody Harrelson]

You must be. Your heartbeat, it changes. You know, your heartbeat changes when you're in deep sleep and it must be gauging the heart.

[Club Random Host]

You know what? We could, as we are conjecture about how it does only be comedy fodder for every truly scientifically educated person. Like, look what those two idiots thought

[Woody Harrelson]

was how the 45 scientists just said this. Idiot. Why would you even think that?

[Club Random Host]

No, I mean, we cannot know. We cannot know things we cannot know. As far as we can. We cannot. It's faith. It's not really that different than Christianity. I just believe it. But it's true. I have no way to check this. Every morning I'm like, what does the oracle say? Oh. And it's like, I wouldn't mind if it didn't have to, like, write me a note that you were trying to, like, reject it.

[Woody Harrelson]

What's it say?

[Club Random Host]

You know. Oh, I guess you didn't get such great sleep last night. Don't worry about it. Tomorrow will be better. It's like, fuck off.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know, everything is just so treating me like I'm a very delicate flower. Like I'm a piece of china that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Just. Just tell me straight.

[Club Random Host]

It's just my night's sleep. I can take it. Tell me to me straight, Doc, you woke up in the middle of the night. So what.

[Woody Harrelson]

How is your. What is your sleep usually?

[Club Random Host]

I mean, it's a bit of a

[Woody Harrelson]

struggle because your mind's always going because it's.

[Club Random Host]

First of all, as you age, that's everybody pretty much. As you age, it gets harder to sleep. You have not found that just like.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I know I found that, but I'm trying to verify that's like a general thing that happens as you get.

[Club Random Host]

Absolutely.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay.

[Club Random Host]

Yes.

[Woody Harrelson]

Every night I wake up and I'm up for probably two, three hours and I read.

[Club Random Host]

So when you wake up in the middle of night, you get up?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I don't get up, but I just grab my book and I read.

[Club Random Host]

But you. But you fully react?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I fully. I just. I know. Well, no, I give it a little while and I see. Am I going to go? No. Then I'm not. Okay. I'm going to start reading.

[Club Random Host]

Wow.

[Woody Harrelson]

And I've been on a Dickens kick. I'm. I'm fucking so infatuated with Charles Dickens. I love Charles Dickens. I've read. I started earlier this year. I read a biography about him, and then I said, you know what? How much? I don't think I've read it. Maybe I've read Christmas Carol. I don't know what I've read of Dickens. And then I started On Great Expectation. No, David. David Copperfield. And then, you know, Great Expectations. Taylor Two Cities. I'm reading now. Well, I read. I read Little Dora.

[Club Random Host]

You'd be good in a Dickens movie. Of course you are.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, I would love to do a Dickens movie.

[Club Random Host]

Older now, so you'll have to play Mr. Twombly. You can't exactly be Oliver Twinsey boy begging for more money.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, you really. You hit me right in the solar plexus with that one.

[Club Random Host]

Wait, I got it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Congratulations.

[Club Random Host]

If you like Bad grandpa, Bad Dickens.

[Woody Harrelson]

I realized the book that I was trying to think of went right out of my. Literally, I'm 500 something pages into this book and I had trouble remembering. Yeah, it's the old curiosity shop. And it is amazing the way because, you know, he wrote serially, right? So like every month he's putting in another chapter and that's not changing after it comes out.

[Club Random Host]

Serially. Serially, which is really a horrible word to have to pronounce. But he wrote in serials to the point where they were like knocking on the door, Mr. Dicket. Because they were published weekly in a paper. So people followed it in the paper and they needed it. We're going to press and we need the next chapter. It was, you know, each week was a chapter and he coming, you know, he'd be finishing it up just as they were knocking on his door to get the transcript to put in the paper.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Club Random Host]

So that's how the book was written.

[Woody Harrelson]

This is the level of genius. He's the Shakespeare prose.

[Club Random Host]

To me, it says something about working under pressure.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, it does, but also some people,

[Club Random Host]

it does make them better.

[Woody Harrelson]

But what's amazing is the fact that he could, because he has very intricate plots, you know, with this character, you don't. You find out in the first chapter doesn't really pay off to the 15th chapter. Like all the stuff that he has to work out before he starts on that first one. Okay, I got that one done. Now I go to the next one. And then sometimes he'd have two going at the same time. And he'd be putting on little theater performances with his kids at home. And he'd be, you know, just such a massive amount of creative output. Like, you know, he was the Beatles of his era.

[Club Random Host]

What was his personal.

[Woody Harrelson]

In terms of his creativity?

[Club Random Host]

What was his personal life like?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, he had a wild personal life because he had. He had a wife he was with like 40 years and they had like 10 kids. And then he fell in love when he was like maybe 50 or something.

[Club Random Host]

A young man.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, relatively young man. Fell in love with this 18 year old.

[Club Random Host]

You know, there are 25 year olds going. He's hosting 50, right?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I wasn't trying to say he was young, but I was just trying to say because he, I think he died at 58 or something. Or maybe younger, 52. So, okay, he fell in love with this 18 year old girl, he kicks his wife of 30 years to the curb and then he. But by the way, none of this is actually 100% known. There's only conjecture. But. But all the evidence leads us to believe that this girl went to France and had her stay there. You know what, she's becoming more and more obvious. And then there was trouble in the birth. The baby died, but he'd already kicked his wife to the curb. And any of his kids who talked to his wife not talking to you anymore. Like he got weird at the end.

[Club Random Host]

Did he get with the 18 year old after the. They lost the baby.

[Woody Harrelson]

I think they still. They were, they were together, but it was never publicly. It was all everybody was talking about.

[Club Random Host]

Maybe it was just like a situationship, you know, like when I'm working on a new book, I'm not gonna have time for you. Okay? Okay. I'm Charles Dickens, bitch. So you know, when I'm there, I'm there. Okay. But I'm kind of a big deal in the literary world.

[Woody Harrelson]

The biggest. Yeah, no, but can you imagine like that? Maybe that's how we talk.

[Club Random Host]

Have you cracked Great Expectations? Oh, yeah. Oh, you have.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's just a masterpiece. That might be my. Well, I don't know. They're all so great. And I read, you know, the, the Pickwick Papers, man. I think I've read probably 10 of his books, you know, and I got the next one Key, you know, queued up.

[Club Random Host]

So what is it? What? Like if you had to say to somebody like quickly, like, what is it that gets you so much about him?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I mean, this guy packs more in one sentence than anyone ever did. I mean, more of what? Just more, you know, emotional impact and value and descriptive genius. Like the way he could describe things and people and differentiate between the characters and, and get you excited about. And the plots are so you're just on the edge of your seat with a book.

[Club Random Host]

You want to know? I know a book. What is this book? I mean, we're very close to that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Where. Well, where there'd be no books anymore.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I mean, a large part of the population reads zero.

[Woody Harrelson]

Just listens it like the idea of

[Club Random Host]

a Book is something that's very alien to them. And they're not even shy about making jokes about it like a book. They just. They are not the generation that has that kind of attention. Spanish, they were raised on phones and shit. And it's just not gonna happen. So there'll always be 10, 20% of people who will be into everything a little, you know, of more intellectually nutritious value. But most people, like, a book is just not something maybe you know, kind of a self help book or some, you know, picture book.

[Woody Harrelson]

So you think most people.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

Really just read.

[Club Random Host]

People are beyond it.

[Woody Harrelson]

You say more than 50% of the population.

[Club Random Host]

You know how I know I love this guy? I don't know him well, but we started to be friends. He's a comic. Nate Borgazzi. He's huge now.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, yeah. Very handsome young guy. Yeah. One of your boyfriends, huh? You never talk about your fucking boyfriends. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Very funny. Very cute.

[Club Random Host]

Okay, we'll be right back now. No, but I see what you're saying. He did this bit. I saw him on Saturday Night Live. I'd never seen him before. And it was all about, like, books and like the. How preposterous it was, you know, so many words. And you can't. We have a break where I get to a page where there's nothing on it, you know, and the crowd was loving it. And that's when I said, okay, this is very relatable to, you know, who's in the crowd at SNL, you've hosted it. It's young people, mostly, 20s, 30s, and to them, that's very relatable. A book just too thick, too many words, just, you know, I scroll, I don't read, I scroll. This is the scrolling, you know, and that's just how it, you know, history. History unfolds. That's how it has unfolded. We now what do we do? How do we deal with it? That's the question now. How do we deal with it? How do we deal with AI? What are your thoughts on AI Woody Harrell?

[Woody Harrelson]

I don't know how to even, you know, you know, expose myself to that subject while I'm in such a deep level of sadness at what you just told me. Like, the thought that people don't read and that that's a thing of the past, that really, it's such a big part of my life. I literally, I read.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, you're old.

[Woody Harrelson]

Many times a day. Like, I read in the night a couple of times.

[Club Random Host]

I Do, too.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know, I'm constantly. First thing in the morning, like, if I. The thought of not reading.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. Because we're old.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's, like, weird.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, me too. I know we're old. That's what we do.

[Woody Harrelson]

But that's an old thing. Reading is an old thing.

[Club Random Host]

That's what I'm trying to tell you. It's exactly what I'm trying to tell you.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's what I'm getting. That's what I'm getting.

[Club Random Host]

It's an old thing. Just like you saw. Charlemagne got in all that trouble because he said opera and ballet. I don't want movies to become like opera and ballet, where it's, you know, just a very small group of people who go. And they got all this shit. You must know this.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, I heard about that, yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You heard about it?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I mean, I don't.

[Woody Harrelson]

I just heard.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

So briefly. I don't know.

[Club Random Host]

So, you know, I. I would defend him first of all, you know, do we have to pick apart every fucking thing? No, we don't have to, but everyone does. And it's not untrue. I mean, ballet. Do you go to the ballet? I don't. Do you go to the opera? I don't. A select small group of people still love it. Fantastic. You will go. And by the way, you pay for it, because, you know, you can, like, get a lot of money for things like symphony orchestras, because that's the arts, and the arts are good, and good people give to good causes, and that is good. I don't think it's good when we give money to, like, fucking rich. Fuck. That something you're watching in tuxedos, like, subsidizing this? No. Fuck you. No.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know, you really have made cynicism the ultimate humor. Like, it's beautiful. I love you. I say. I feel. I love that you can be cynical but so funny at the same time.

[Club Random Host]

Well, thank you. I love you, too. What were we talking about?

[Woody Harrelson]

The arts.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, yeah, the arts.

[Woody Harrelson]

You had the ballet. We're funny.

[Club Random Host]

The arts. Oh, good.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, okay.

[Club Random Host]

The arts.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

I realize now we're ballet and opera, and, you know, I'm sure they're both very beautiful, but, you know, not my taste. I wasn't. I was raised middle class. And you're a fucking hillbilly. This is really far. This is really far afield from you. I mean, I at least knew what the opera was. You thought it was the grand old opera, So. But the arts.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, you son of a.

[Club Random Host]

What was it about? What Are we talking about. Oh, ballet.

[Woody Harrelson]

We're talking about what a hick I am, is what we're talking about. I'm happy. I will accept it.

[Club Random Host]

I love it. I love him.

[Woody Harrelson]

I'm poor white trash and I'm happy. I'm proud of it.

[Club Random Host]

People are so mad.

[Woody Harrelson]

I don't think my mother would like to hear me say that, but people

[Club Random Host]

are so mad at me because Kid Rock is my friend. You, I'll be the friends with whoever I want. Yeah. You know, we have to stop this fucking. Just judgy. Judgy. Judge. Judge Judy. If. Effication of America.

[Woody Harrelson]

Judge Judy. Ification. Yeah, but. Yeah, see, so you guys get where. We're not in a studio. We're at an actual venue called the woods, right here on Santa Monica Boulevard.

[Club Random Host]

Anyway, that was a doing, by the way. What so many people want to do is, like, go to someplace. We don't even have pop. We can buy it right there and then go and chill out in some place where you feel safe.

[Woody Harrelson]

Sit right here in the ganja garden. The most beautiful place. I mean, look at these people. These people love this place.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, this place. I walked in today and I said, oh, wow, business is good.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, it's slowly picking up. But I tell you what, there's nothing we can do when the government is charging 35%. Like, they can't. They can't tax us 35%. Well, it's not right.

[Club Random Host]

I believe Governor Newsom is. I don't do drugs, but

[Woody Harrelson]

all the kids are doing this.

[Club Random Host]

I suppose I could try it once. What do you just. You. You suck in. Is that. Is that. Is that right? Or is it more of a. Is it more of a dream? Would you describe it as a draw?

[Woody Harrelson]

By God, that was sexy.

[Club Random Host]

Smooth, refreshing flavor. Even the bird likes it. You think these birds could.

[Woody Harrelson]

These poor people.

[Club Random Host]

Do you think this bird is fucking high? I mean, it's all sitting there all day long.

[Woody Harrelson]

Smoke's coming right into the.

[Club Random Host]

Is that. Is that a bad thing?

[Woody Harrelson]

I think it's great when you want to be high. If you were a bird, by the way. Not a bird that's flying off into, you know, freedom.

[Club Random Host]

But. Is he in a cage?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, no, they take him out. They take them out. That's true. They don't fly away. They don't fly away.

[Club Random Host]

Is there food here?

[Woody Harrelson]

Huh? Are you hungry?

[Club Random Host]

No, no. I don't mean for us personally. I mean, like, we're talking about the birds. No, for the people. For the people.

[Woody Harrelson]

Let them eat cake.

[Club Random Host]

And then the people can give to the birds whatever they want.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You don't want to. This is why I'm saying you're not good at business. You were giving the prison food to the birds first. And then what? They went to the people and I said, no, that's a bad business model. Give the food to the people first. And then let them give to the birds what they don't want. We fought about it. We punched each other. Oh.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh my God.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, boy.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's smart. They put those there.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

They knew eventually we'll be wiping our eyes.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I. I think it's a good thing that people will see that marijuana doesn't hurt you.

[Woody Harrelson]

Doesn't affect you. Ill.

[Club Random Host]

Doesn't affect you. Ill is a really great way to say it. Yeah, it's very Dickinsonian. If I may.

[Woody Harrelson]

By the way, I've tried to kill myself with marijuana. I've tried. You can't kill yourself. Try as hard as you can.

[Club Random Host]

Now.

[Woody Harrelson]

Cigarettes, you could do it, you know. Alcohol. Every other drug. So there's some positives.

[Club Random Host]

So how are you going to transit this Dickens love into like working on something Dickensonian?

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, I love that idea. I don't know if they ever did the Old Curiosity Shop. Do you know if they did that?

[Club Random Host]

Because I don't know that one. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

And it's not. Not well, widely known. I think.

[Club Random Host]

It's not widely known by me.

[Woody Harrelson]

The question is. Okay, one of those people downstairs is going to look up. Have they done the Old Curiosity Shop as a movie? But by the way, I think it should be a series. Because you could. A limited series. But you could. In episode you could make something.

[Club Random Host]

What's it about? Why is it good?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, it's just about a girl named Nell. Little Nell. Who? Child.

[Club Random Host]

Still. I heard of that.

[Woody Harrelson]

And her grandfather.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, I've heard a Little Nell. What? No, I didn't know it was from this book.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, I think he might be. You want me to. Have I told. I've told you? Why, of course.

[Club Random Host]

I mean, it fascinates me because you don't look anything alike. No, I mean, I Mean, you're both, you know, nice looking.

[Woody Harrelson]

What do you mean? We don't look anything alike. Are you just focusing on the one on the follicle issue?

[Club Random Host]

No, no, no, no, no. I just. You don't look like brothers.

[Woody Harrelson]

Really.

[Club Random Host]

No, but it could be. But, boy.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, I wish the wifey was here. She could show you a little thing that's at the beginning.

[Club Random Host]

[Club Random Host]

No, no, no.

[Woody Harrelson]

And I'll make.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, no.

[Woody Harrelson]

So I'll let you do that. I know you're a germaphobe, so.

[Club Random Host]

I'm not a germaphobe. Who gave you that idea?

[Woody Harrelson]

You and Stephen Wright.

[Club Random Host]

Stephen Wright? What? What do you mean? Lumping movie. About what? I don't get it. You and Stephen Wright.

[Woody Harrelson]

What's his name? What's his name? That comedian. Very big.

[Club Random Host]

Stephen Wright was.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, no. Yeah. No, but I mean, like, he's big. His movements. He's a germaphobe. The other.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, Howie Mandel.

[Woody Harrelson]

Howie Mandel. Howie Mandel.

[Club Random Host]

Howie's a great guy. How. He's just.

[Woody Harrelson]

Is he. Oh, I've never. I think I met.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, I.

[Woody Harrelson]

What's he like?

[Club Random Host]

He's the best. We should have dinner. All three. Three of us.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I'd love to.

[Club Random Host]

I know the guy.

[Woody Harrelson]

He's funny, man. I got to see him live before, but I never met him.

[Club Random Host]

Everybody loves Howie. He's one of those. He's like you. He's one of those types of.

[Woody Harrelson]

What does that mean?

[Club Random Host]

You know me. I'm jealous of your. Finally, every fucking thing I say.

[Woody Harrelson]

Get this out.

[Club Random Host]

People like, you know, shit on it and attack me. But because you're a quote unquote movie star.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, you. Oh, I see you. I skate.

[Club Random Host]

You skate.

[Woody Harrelson]

I thought I got well attacked for. You know, what happened back the SNL thing. Got pretty attacked.

[Club Random Host]

Everybody loves Woody. Woody's the guy from Cheers we all love. And he's just always, good old Woody. You should. You know what? You should play more of that. Like Hannibal.

[Woody Harrelson]

You mean like Psycho?

[Club Random Host]

I just. Bad guys.

[Woody Harrelson]

I think I played a lot of bad guys. Did you ever see out of the Furnace?

[Club Random Host]

Bad guys. That's the movie I was about to reference. Oh, I've talked to you about it before. You forgot.

[Woody Harrelson]

I did yeah, okay. I'm owning it

[Club Random Host]

now. That's. Yeah, that was a great performance. And it's. And it's, you know, as opposed to, you know, the guy who you can't help but love, you know, that character. It's despicable. It's awful. It's terrible. It's more the real Woody. I know,

[Woody Harrelson]

that's true. We've had a few terse moments, you and I, but that's friendship.

[Club Random Host]

That's so.

[Woody Harrelson]

Exactly how long have I known you? 30. I don't know, something years?

[Club Random Host]

Not. That's ridiculous.

[Woody Harrelson]

At least 30 something. No, I've known you since, at least. Since 1990, so that's 36 years.

[Club Random Host]

Well, that's impossible because I'm 41, so. Believe what you want to believe. I identify as someone who's 41. Why not? If you can. If you can do it with everything

[Woody Harrelson]

else, why can't I identify as 41?

[Club Random Host]

I don't feel that different.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right.

[Club Random Host]

When we were 41, what were we doing? This, this exact thing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, you know what? Everything would be cool if it wasn't for the road map above the neck. That's where you start to see little telltale signs of aging, you know, like, your body, you could never know if you look from your, from your feet up, but once you get to the neck, this, this Guy's older than 41.

[Club Random Host]

Weird, but, like, I, I, maybe I'm a few years older, but. No, I think it's not just. I know what you were saying, but no, you, you do look somewhat different. You're in all the parts of your body, you know what, the one part of your body that if you took a picture of it, like, 40 years ago and yesterday, I couldn't tell the difference.

[Woody Harrelson]

What?

[Club Random Host]

My dick. I'm not kidding. It looks the same. Doesn't yours? I mean, what?

[Woody Harrelson]

I should have known.

[Club Random Host]

But it's true. It's true. It doesn't look. It doesn't look different.

[Woody Harrelson]

I'm thinking, what is it, the bow? Or, you know, maybe it's like the armpit or something, you know, like my dick.

[Club Random Host]

It's true, right? Because every other part, like, maybe, you know, I'm 70 or a few years younger, maybe. I think, I think you'll start very soon. That it's. Yeah, for a while, it's just the neck, and it's, you know, you will just see, like, wow, that didn't used to look like that, or whatever it is. And it's just part of it, you know, I just thank Jesus as I do for everything that he's allowed me to at 70, still basically live the life I've always lived as.

[Woody Harrelson]

Thank you, Jesus.

[Club Random Host]

Thank you.

[Woody Harrelson]

Thank you, Jesus for helping him as

[Club Random Host]

you do, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

But by the way, what are the most important components of health?

[Club Random Host]

Most important. Okay, here's what I found.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. You're healthy.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. I mean, I feel, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

I mean, look, I lived rough, I think, a little bit.

[Woody Harrelson]

That was a nice euphemism for what you've lived.

[Club Random Host]

Well, I mean, what I'm saying is I used my body like a car, taking me both near and far. It's a lyric from a George Harrison song, not one of his greater ones, but lyrically, anyway. But I did. I used my body like a car. You know, when my body allowed me to have, like, 35 drinks a week, I used to do it. I could function and do that. My body would never allow that.

[Woody Harrelson]

Now is that five a night?

[Club Random Host]

It probably works. Works out to that. Yeah. You know, might be eight one night, eight another night.

[Woody Harrelson]

Honey, what's gonna happen to us?

[Club Random Host]

Why did you do that, too?

[Woody Harrelson]

I'm still. I don't think well, honey. What. What's the night I've had? Give me the figures, lovey.

[Club Random Host]

What? Yeah. You may be made of sterner stuff than me, though.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I'm not. I honestly, I don't like to. I don't. I love drinking. I love drinking and I love smoking.

[Club Random Host]

I love drinking, too. I love drinking and smoking together.

[Woody Harrelson]

Me too.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know what it is? It's because it's a nice balance. There's a little yin yang in that.

[Club Random Host]

Well, what it is, is they're drugs and we're drug addicts. We're drug addicts getting good drugs that are synergistically making better drugs. And that's as close as I can get to it. But again, it's one of those things we cannot. We're not the scientists. We are just. We just believe whatever they tell us. I mean, are you following the controversy of how much a fucking ask us or chatgpt is.

[Woody Harrelson]

How do you mean?

[Club Random Host]

Are you on chatgpt?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, you know, I don't have a phone. Right. And never would.

[Club Random Host]

Anyway. I sent you. I sent you a telegram about this. For God's. Don't you read my telegrams?

[Woody Harrelson]

I find it personally insulting, your Morse code efficiency. I love it.

[Club Random Host]

I have a little monitor on my desk in my office. It tells me what the air quality is in my. And, you know, in the house, but also outside sometimes they're very different. Oh, like, you know, it's a.

[Woody Harrelson]

Is it usually better in the house or out?

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, in. Unfortunately, we live in la and. No, I mean, many days it's like, you know, if it's good, it's. The face in the thing is green and he's smiling and if it's, you know, orangey, you know, it's like bad. And then there's a red. When you smoke pot in the room, you get the red angry face.

[Woody Harrelson]

He wants to get a lot of the red face. Like, here's this motherfucker again.

[Club Random Host]

This thing does not like fun.

[Woody Harrelson]

It really doesn't. Jesus, you're back. I just heard you were back last time I did this.

[Club Random Host]

But listen, it says like, you look. It also has like a little crawl there. It says, congratulations, you've achieved excellent air quality. It's congratulating me on the air, which I feel

[Woody Harrelson]

I got no responsibility.

[Club Random Host]

I made a small contribution, but I didn't want to take all the credit,

[Woody Harrelson]

so I didn't fire one up in the last five minutes. I get a little pat on the back.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, maybe it was mostly me, you

[Woody Harrelson]

know, I call the lean dad.

[Club Random Host]

I closed that window. That was a big part of it. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

And dude, I love seeing you when you get nicely baked. It's perfect.

[Club Random Host]

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't do drugs.

[Woody Harrelson]

One of my. And far fetched is what that was.

[Club Random Host]

I fake it for the camera. Like, Dean Martin used to pretend to be drinking.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, he was drinking like apple juice. That's what a cheater cheating?

[Club Random Host]

A little bit, yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

I love Dean Martin, but yeah, you're totally right. He cheated. He cheated.

[Club Random Host]

Well, it was a character.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, you know, does his thing. He's a professional.

[Club Random Host]

You make.

[Woody Harrelson]

He's not actually drinking or smoking or anything like that. Not while he's working.

[Club Random Host]

You make your living playing character, right? You make your living playing characters. You're gonna begrudge him his one character of, you know, everybody loves and the gold diggers. I mean, it's really funny, you know,

[Woody Harrelson]

the wifey poo and I did watch

[Club Random Host]

a little bit of that, but on like YouTube, right?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, we somehow got some DVD. This is years ago. Yeah, we watched like one or two. Yeah, but I don't remember that. There was all girls gathered around them. I don't remember.

[Club Random Host]

You know, his character was swinging play. But even though he was married and he would thank Genie and the kids and. But you know, it was kind of a wink wink. I must be getting some. I mean, look, I'M Dean Martin. I look awesome. I'm the most relaxed man you've ever met in your life. I just look like a good time. And he was. My mother loved that show.

[Woody Harrelson]

Did she have a thing with him?

[Club Random Host]

Totally. 10 o' clock Thursday, that's a very. Oh, oh, you mean adult hour.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right?

[Club Random Host]

10:00 clock Thursday, like. And dad wasn't home yet. And Dean Martin, I'm sure. Nothing. I'm not saying she had an affair with Dean Martin, but, I mean, he was. As a kid, I thought, oh, I'd like to be that tan, handsome. A bunch of fucking chicks around you. It's like, oh, it was.

[Woody Harrelson]

Did he have a. Who could have a better life than Dean Martin? You're also getting to sit next to Frank Sinatra, laughing, trading jokes, telling stories.

[Club Random Host]

He made a virtue of not working because the gag was he never came in for rehearsal. So they would just. That's why the girls, they would lead him to the, you know, the spot and they'd probably.

[Woody Harrelson]

Is that why?

[Club Random Host]

Right. And they would prop him up in front of a cue card he never read before. So when he fucked up the cue card, that was like the comedy of the show.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right?

[Club Random Host]

It was genius and genuine. It read as. You know, people like genuine even more today. Kids are stupid about, like, lots of stuff, but they're savvy about what's real.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's why people love Snoop now.

[Club Random Host]

Great.

[Woody Harrelson]

He's genuine Snoop Dogg.

[Club Random Host]

Why is he on your mind so much?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, you just. I thought of a very genuine person, but I was going to say something.

[Club Random Host]

Are you friends?

[Woody Harrelson]

What? You just. Huh?

[Club Random Host]

Are you friends?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I don't. I don't. I mean, I've met him and hung out with him a coup.

[Club Random Host]

Let's hang out with him. He'll come over, see.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know what? I'll tell you a story.

[Club Random Host]

I can't get him over to do the podcast, and I want to, but he'd come for you.

[Woody Harrelson]

You think?

[Club Random Host]

I've had more than one rapper say, they know I know you. Oh, I'd love to party with that guy.

[Woody Harrelson]

Really?

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I'm available. Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Exhibit Said it.

[Woody Harrelson]

I'm ready.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. No, no, I know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Send Kendrick Lamar.

[Club Random Host]

No, they want. They. They want to party with Woody. And that's why we're here at the woods, because it's a beautiful.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's 8271 Santa Monica Boulevard.

[Club Random Host]

I mean, even just being in the next bungalow, you'd have to. Just the vibe would be a great thing for you. I just think.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, no, that's one of the things we should do here.

[Club Random Host]

Not enough people know, you know, how much you put into this to make a vision of a pot store that wasn't like the other, you know, McDonald's.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right.

[Club Random Host]

Pot store where. Whatever. I'm not naming names.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean.

[Club Random Host]

I'm just saying if you order in from McDonald's. Food there. I don't know. I'm part of the rich elite. Oh, the what? I know what eat a McDonald's. I don't eat with that comet.

[Woody Harrelson]

I had three chefs.

[Club Random Host]

I'm at the Paul Anka Fools.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, dude, Paul Anka. Remember, you were talking the other day like, Paul Anka.

[Club Random Host]

I had dinner with him last night. Did you really? Yeah, he did the podcast. We talked for two hours. It went right by, like, so fast. So we go out to dinner.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, how great.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, he's. He's such a mob boss. He's awesome.

[Woody Harrelson]

Like, hey, I've done a lot of songs.

[Club Random Host]

That's pretty good.

[Woody Harrelson]

He's.

[Club Random Host]

Maybe I'll put that into your.

[Woody Harrelson]

He's great.

[Club Random Host]

Maybe I'll put that into your Mark Twain speech. Woody Harrelson has graciously consented to be one of the presenters at the Mark twain Awards on June 28, where I will be receiving this honor unless Trump fucks it up again, which is completely possible.

[Woody Harrelson]

Isn't it nice Trump's allowing you in?

[Club Random Host]

I think it's your buddy. I loved it that they. They tried to block it there. And of course, I think he absolutely still could if he wanted to. So I. I'm just thankful. And I. I love it that, you know, he. He takes the game seriously. Like, no, I'm gonna block this guy.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

I respect the move, but I know that on June 28th, it's gonna happen. We're gonna be at the Kennedy center. And I couldn't be more appreciative, honestly, that you are doing this for me. This is, like, you know, especially for someone who lost 33 Emmys, not a gag number. It's kind of nice to get.

[Woody Harrelson]

Is it really 33 nominations, like a gag? Zero wins?

[Club Random Host]

Correct.

[Woody Harrelson]

You're like, what's the lady.

[Club Random Host]

Don't even go there. Don't go there.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, okay.

[Club Random Host]

People have gone there.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. But, I mean, she went many times

[Club Random Host]

for very different reasons.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, listen, I'm not trying to compare you in terms of the superlative nature of your product. Motherfucker. What the fuck is wrong with you? You can't allow me to mention some poor lady. Susan. Whatever name It. Susan Gucci.

[Club Random Host]

I couldn't be happier right now because I heard you utter the words superlative nature of your product, which is awesome. What a. Thank you, by the way. The superlative nature of my product. Thank you.

[Woody Harrelson]

How many years exactly?

[Club Random Host]

Of what?

[Woody Harrelson]

Of this particular show. The new incarnation. Well, no, sir.

[Club Random Host]

Real time. The name of my show. Yes, I know it. Why you think I'm an imposter?

[Woody Harrelson]

Nobody knows. Actually live.

[Club Random Host]

You think AI can do this? The AI can get this high. Good luck, AI. Oh,

[Woody Harrelson]

You got me on that one, dude. You got me on that one.

[Club Random Host]

What did you ask me?

[Woody Harrelson]

I was. How am I gonna. That's one of your minions.

[Club Random Host]

No, no. How dare you.

[Woody Harrelson]

And by the way, to all the minions downstairs, I do apologize.

[Club Random Host]

What were we just talking about? It's very important. It was very important to me. No, it was.

[Woody Harrelson]

Was it?

[Club Random Host]

Yes.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, couldn't someone help us? I don't know. Couldn't one of your highly paid assistant.

[Club Random Host]

No, there's no one here but us,

[Woody Harrelson]

by the way. That's. By the way. Can I give you credit? Like, I assumed there would be people in the room?

[Club Random Host]

Never. That's the. That was.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's what. That's what you.

[Club Random Host]

My vision of Club Random. No, one. That makes it all the difference. Yeah, and I was right.

[Woody Harrelson]

If there was a person sitting there, There, there.

[Club Random Host]

It's terrible.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I mean, it's. It could ultimately end up good, but at least you would have a consciousness that there's three other humans in the room. Now we know they're downstairs, they're listening, they laugh every once in a while. A lot of times it's just really silence.

[Club Random Host]

I'm not saying other podcasts aren't good. I'm just saying there are no others that are this, shall we say, loose.

[Woody Harrelson]

Don't make me spit up my drink.

[Club Random Host]

If you're looking for loose, and I know you are, look no further. Loose. That's what we are, man. We run a loose ship. We run a very loose ship.

[Woody Harrelson]

We run a very loose ship.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, we do, here at the World.

[Woody Harrelson]

Because remember last time. Wait, was it 35, 40 minutes? We had to cut out of that.

[Club Random Host]

I can't wait for our next business meeting. Oh, yeah, but this is. This is the dream, really.

[Woody Harrelson]

Sacramento.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, I really mean it. This is like the dream of this place. And I haven't been here enough, but to be able to sit here like this, you know, it funny, the more successful you get, you. When I was in the clubs, I saw my friends every night, and now I Only see them whenever. And you know, when I was younger, okay, I didn't. Wasn't doing as well, and this wasn't as good, and this wasn't good, but I did a lot more of this just, you know, sitting with some guy who I like. I like you. You know, but just sitting with somebody I like and getting really fucking close. I mean that. It's like that kind of. I'm not saying it never happens. We don't do it enough. And I feel like maybe you do. I don't. And I feel like this place is like. It's encouraging to.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's very conducive to that to do that.

[Club Random Host]

Like you're never too old to get very fucked up.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. But also it's just the vibe is.

[Club Random Host]

It's not that hard, huh? I can teach you. I can teach you. Do a TED Talk on it. How to get up, get the joint, light it.

[Woody Harrelson]

I gotta see this TED Talk. It's a short said dog. You know, 45 second you hit the thing, you light it, you in half.

[Club Random Host]

But you still, you still go with the old joints, huh? I mean, you're not with.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, no, I got a head of vapor. The wifey poo. Wifey poo has stolen my vaporizer. Now I can't. She doesn't smoke, by the way, but she has it down if she brings it up personally.

[Club Random Host]

But you're old. I mean, you literally roll the joints. Like we're in the old west. Like, you know, I'm knocking it. I'm just saying it's very old school. I like it. It's old world.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, listen, Mr. Fucking saying nice things. I mean, you're unbelievable to have to roll up a fucking joint. That's too much for you, you fucking rich coc. I mean, unbelievable. You are unbelievable. It's. I'm sorry to your people, your audience, they have to witness the level of elitism that you aspire to.

[Club Random Host]

Well, you know, that's really funny coming from an A lister. I mean, it's like, remember the Scarlet Letter. But this was a good A. That A was for adulterous adulteress, which

[Woody Harrelson]

is a good A to you. No, I'm just saying, like you're saying if someone adults. That's a good A.

[Club Random Host]

No, but because you're a movie star, as if that's even a thing. So how many of the hundred

[Woody Harrelson]

are

[Club Random Host]

good are on like were not in a theater? Because they were like in the Netflix era.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh yeah, like high women. Yeah, that went right to Netflix.

[Club Random Host]

Oh yeah, I liked It. I saw it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. I thought it was great. And, you know, the first weekend, like, 19 million people saw it, most seen movie. And that was when I was like. And by the way, for Netflix, they see it's never one person watching. It's always at least two. And by the way, many times it's more. But every once in a while, there's some loner like yourself, anyway,

[Club Random Host]

winning. Anyway, any opportunity. I love it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Little shot to the wrist

[Club Random Host]

as I'm, like, literally being drawn into this storm. And then the shift comes out. It's like I could. I could feel the hook, but I still wanted the bait, you know, it was just sad.

[Woody Harrelson]

But. But. So 19 million makes 38 million. That's when I started to believe in, you know, streaming in Netflix and. Right. But, you know, there's the greedy people, too, you know?

[Club Random Host]

What do you mean?

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, like, prime, you know, like, you're paying X amount a week or a month. Right. And yet they're still going to charge you for individual shows, which is a lot. Like a high percentage of valuable material. They also charge you for that. To watch that. But hold it. I'm on Prime. Can't we just. Can't we just agree to, like, you just. I'm on. I'm on it, remember? I'm on it.

[Club Random Host]

I know.

[Woody Harrelson]

And then what's it. Fubo. Fubo?

[Club Random Host]

Fubo.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, is that what it's called? Yeah, Fubo. They charge a hundred dollars a month.

[Club Random Host]

What is it?

[Woody Harrelson]

It's.

[Club Random Host]

What's it for?

[Woody Harrelson]

Football? It's for, like, soccer and sports and. Dude, it's huge. It's huge. I'm telling you.

[Club Random Host]

Not in my.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, if you're gonna watch. If you're gonna watch soccer, you're gonna watch even tennis. All kinds of stuff. All sports.

[Club Random Host]

Oh.

[Woody Harrelson]

If it's enough football, they charge you a hundred a month. And let's just say you want to watch a repeat of that match, that Djokovic match you missed.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

I ain't gonna charge you for that, too.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

And so they do the. The Ann. Guess what? We're gonna throw commercials in there as well. I mean, just the greed of it is insulting.

[Club Random Host]

I know. I just never knew.

[Woody Harrelson]

There's the wife. There. She came. Come here.

[Club Random Host]

What is that Penny? I just never knew you watched your penny that closely.

[Woody Harrelson]

They don't see the wifey. She's some mysterious.

[Club Random Host]

I share your outright. I'm not monitoring, like, how much I was getting by the streaming dudes for every movie, but I'm sure you're right. I Guess that's a sign of success. You know, I. I'm no, like, sort of mogul, but it doesn't really affect me if they're me on, like, charging me for whatever it is. I just don't want to make it a hassle. I always want to say to them, you know, just tell me how much. Just tell me how much.

[Woody Harrelson]

Dude, don't make.

[Club Random Host]

Don't make.

[Woody Harrelson]

By the way, you're just so rich, it doesn't matter to you. Tell me how much. I don't give a.

[Club Random Host]

Well, that's basically what. It's what I'm saying.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Okay, I'm not that rich.

[Woody Harrelson]

And what about poor people who are just like, everything they got for $100 a month and now fucking charge me because I missed the first broadcast?

[Club Random Host]

So what should I do? Like, live my life and also have the feelings of a poor person about everything that affects me? It's like, oh, but I can't be happy because a poor person would be like, oh, shit, I'm fucked. So I have to. It's ridiculous. You hippies, you never stop. You hippies, you smoke pot, and then everything is all about gentle parenting and, you know, just being really fucking.

[Woody Harrelson]

You really have shown yourself to be such a noble character right now. I'm so proud of you.

[Club Random Host]

What is that thing? What is that thing? What is that thing?

[Woody Harrelson]

You know?

[Club Random Host]

What is that thing? What is that thing?

[Woody Harrelson]

What is that thing? This is the. The Verity. This is the same guys who do the volcano.

[Club Random Host]

What do we do?

[Woody Harrelson]

It's the best.

[Club Random Host]

Do what?

[Woody Harrelson]

It's the boat. It's the best mobile.

[Club Random Host]

Oh. Oh, you're smoking pot out of it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Vaporizing.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, looks like a phone in 19.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's where you really get the taste. This is the stuff I was telling you about.

[Club Random Host]

No, I think. Here, here, here.

[Woody Harrelson]

You know what I can do?

[Club Random Host]

I'm afraid of it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Here, here, here. Look, look. Come on, Howie, you can do it.

[Club Random Host]

So just suck. It's still going. Does it suck still going?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, it's still going. Oh, taste is good, right?

[Club Random Host]

Very good. Yeah, very good.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's the purple papaya.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, really?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Well, how about that? And what are your other new projects?

[Woody Harrelson]

Thank you for your interest.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, I'm a professional interviewer. Can't you tell? What's your new movie about? I hear the cast was like a family. It is true, though. All your. Everybody you ever worked with is still your friend?

[Woody Harrelson]

No, there's actually several that I feel really remiss that I haven't had much time with. That I wished I'd have stayed in touch with.

[Club Random Host]

Like, who? Like people who died. And so you missed your chance.

[Woody Harrelson]

Whoa, whoa. You went heavy there. You went like, you know, okay, I shot you to the ribs. You shot.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, I was.

[Woody Harrelson]

I missed it.

[Club Random Host]

Like. You died.

[Woody Harrelson]

You missed you.

[Club Random Host]

I thought maybe you were friends with Gene Hackman.

[Woody Harrelson]

Jesus Christ. No, but Marlon Brando, for example. Marlon Brando died even better. We were. We were, you know, we were like friends, really.

[Club Random Host]

How did you get to know him?

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay, I'll tell you how I got to know him. Was there was this book written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and people who wanted to make this book was Milos Forman.

[Club Random Host]

Is this Love in the Time of Cholera?

[Woody Harrelson]

The reason. Remember when I was saying before this book I was being generic because I didn't quite remember what the name.

[Club Random Host]

I think that might be the one.

[Woody Harrelson]

I think it was.

[Club Random Host]

Okay, it was a movie. It was. They did make a movie.

[Woody Harrelson]

They did, yeah. Okay. I'm not sure if it was that movie, but. But so we. So it was Sean Penn producing. Milos Foreman was in it. I was working with Milos at the time or had finished work.

[Club Random Host]

He said in it. Directing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Huh?

[Club Random Host]

Millis?

[Woody Harrelson]

Foreman directing to direct it.

[Club Random Host]

You said he was in it. Okay, directing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Oh, I said in it. Oh, sorry. I'm high as fuck, dude. And I partially blame you. Club Random. But anyway, so. So I said so I knew they were going to meet Marlon, and I'm like, Sean. And I also spoke separately to Milos. I am going with you. I'm going with you for this meeting.

[Club Random Host]

Wow.

[Woody Harrelson]

Like, I have nothing to do with it. I'm going with you. And they both just kind of agreed and I went. And the night before, I'd done Celebrity Interview. Barbara. Barbara.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, your wife. You.

[Woody Harrelson]

Huh?

[Club Random Host]

Go ahead. Celebrity privilege.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yes. Okay.

[Club Random Host]

Which is a thing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, no, but it wasn't celebrity for those are both my friends.

[Club Random Host]

I am not.

[Woody Harrelson]

It wasn't a celebrity to ask Sean Penn. He don't give a.

[Club Random Host]

About celebrity as a critique.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, okay. I took it as critique. Oh, oh, you said you didn't.

[Club Random Host]

It's just a thing. Celebrity privilege, okay? It can be abused. This is not a case of abuse. Okay, but that's what it is.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay.

[Club Random Host]

And that's cool. You earned it.

[Woody Harrelson]

How far down the sidetrack road should we travel?

[Club Random Host]

No. Anyway, tell me.

[Woody Harrelson]

I mean, I was telling his story. Now I don't. Now I feel like one of these guys.

[Club Random Host]

No, tell me.

[Woody Harrelson]

I beg.

[Club Random Host]

Marlon Brando.

[Woody Harrelson]

So. So what happened was. So I went to the meeting right and we're waiting downstairs in his house. And it's very like kind of Japanese, you know, like it has the really like those Japanese blinds and everything. And on Mulholland, this is up there where Jack Nicholson still lives. Another house?

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

You got Helena and you got Jack or Helen. Helena. Helena and Jack and Brandon. And so we go into the room and we're waiting for him to come down. And finally he comes down in a kimono, right? And he looks and he sees me for some reason, out of the people assembled, which is just three of us, he sees me and goes, ugh, you made me laugh. And he was talking about this interview I'd done the night before and he had seen it. Anyway, we got on like a house of fire.

[Club Random Host]

Wow.

[Woody Harrelson]

And that was cool, man. I forget what the whole point of the story was.

[Club Random Host]

I think the point of it is that like, there's certain, like some sort of like green gem inside certain people that makes it's reason why that they, you know, are embraced by the public. Charlie Chaplin and I could name other people, you know, and it's just like Charlie Sheen, right? Yeah, Charlie Shane. Really? I mean, you know, and one sort of like recognizes the other. So he. Yeah, I mean, and I know he said that in interviews before, like, I love to laugh, you know, and he would mention like old acts like W.C. fields and the Marx Brothers. I mean, he was, you know, I guess of that era or whatever, but his tastes that he cited were like very old school. It wasn't like George Carlin.

[Woody Harrelson]

It was. That'd be too.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, it was really old time. So, you know, something got to him. That, that's great. I mean, you know, I. I would like fucking be owning that story. Brando liked me.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, yeah. And we, we hung out a few times and he was one of the most extraordinary humans I ever met in my life. So playful, just constantly ready to be, well playing and.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, I guess if he let his guard down, brilliant. If he was with someone who he let his guard down, he was probably amazing.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd imagine that wouldn't be a director. You know, he always had a thing with the director.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, really?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

Fighting with him.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

I don't think he fought with Francis Ford Coppola.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, probably not so much with him.

[Club Random Host]

No.

[Woody Harrelson]

But even then, you know, you've seen. What's the one that was written about the, the wife, he's down there. She knows what I'm talking about. She, she wants to yell it up to me.

[Club Random Host]

You call me elitist. But you, you speak like Thurston Howl. Yeah. Empty nesters.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. And by the way, that's.

[Club Random Host]

Look on the bright side, it'll save you from doing Bad Grandpa. No, I kid. I want to see you do it.

[Woody Harrelson]

By the way, Bad Grandpa, that was great.

[Club Random Host]

I loved it.

[Woody Harrelson]

What's his name, that great? Johnny. Johnny Knoxville.

[Club Random Host]

America does good fucking comedies like that, you know, like adult comedies.

[Woody Harrelson]

I know, but give credit where it's due. Johnny Knoxville played like an 80 year old man to perfection.

[Club Random Host]

In what movie?

[Woody Harrelson]

In Bad Grandpa. Dude, what the fuck? How high are you?

[Club Random Host]

I thought it was.

[Woody Harrelson]

You can't stay with the flow of conversation. That's your whole thing. You're an interviewer, dude. That's the fun, fundamental, most important component of what you do, right? And we go to talk with like,

[Club Random Host]

you're Edward R. Murrow in clown pants.

[Woody Harrelson]

Clown pants, dude, these are stylish. I bet the people watching this right now are like, are you kidding me? Mr. All Black?

[Club Random Host]

He's a beautiful people watching in Scotland. What are your hobbies? What are your hobbies? Woody? Is that your real name? Is that your real name? You know, I don't even know that. I don't.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, I'll tell you, William, my real name is actually Woodrow.

[Club Random Host]

It is?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. Named after the President.

[Club Random Host]

You were named after Woodrow Wilson?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. The beautiful president who crushed all the unions. I love that guy, man. He really. He goes to my heart. He did everything he could. He was great.

[Club Random Host]

He. No, I know you're being.

[Woody Harrelson]

He was no Trump.

[Club Random Host]

I know you're being physician. He is. He's one the Democrats might want to disown a little bit. I don't follow the news. I don't know. I watched TMZ and that's it. If they're not talking about it on tmz, I don't know what the you're talking about exactly.

[Woody Harrelson]

Can they pull their bus up here, by the way, every once in a while?

[Club Random Host]

Can they what? Oh, really? Absolutely.

[Woody Harrelson]

I could talk to you. I totally will, my man.

[Club Random Host]

Okay. You know, again, we'll talk a business later. But. But

[Woody Harrelson]

at least we got some ideas.

[Club Random Host]

I know. That's the problem. All ideas, no implementation. Right? You're a basketball player. You know what? When somebody drives to the hoop, great move. And then misses the layup, what do we say? A million dollar move and a 10 cent shot. That's what we got here.

[Woody Harrelson]

Hey, I actually agree with you. Okay, but by the way, if the government were not charging us 35%, we

[Club Random Host]

don't need to have A business meeting on until.

[Woody Harrelson]

But I mean.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, but what is truly frustrating that we agree on is that this place, it should be first of all impossible to get into. Yeah, I mean, it's the coolest place. I mean, if you really wanted to, like, have some after party or, you know, anything that has this aura, there's nothing else like this.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, yeah, I agree with you, but.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, I know you do, but I'm

[Woody Harrelson]

not big on promotion. I'm just terrible.

[Club Random Host]

That is really. That was the. You are literally too modest. Like, you never. All your friends. I mean, look, I was here one night with Paul McCartney for intimate gathering. Oh, it was so great. And I could see why you would never want it. He's just too godlike to ever like, impose upon with social media and that stuff. But you have like your famous friends here all the time. There would be Harrison Ford, all of them. I've seen a million people here. Some of them are boyfriends. I mean that in a good way. I mean, just like, like you're. You're bro. I'm just saying, you're like bro. You know, coven that you have. Or. And then others are of all stripes. You know, everybody you ever worked with. Whenever I go to a party, it's like, oh, salmohammac. Why is she here? Oh, yeah, they did blah, blah, blah together and they always stayed in contact or whoever it is. That's just, you know, your superpower. Well, and now you.

[Woody Harrelson]

People I love, I want to stay in touch with. And you know, you do fall in. But that. By the way, but. Excuse me, I don't want to interrupt your interruption, but I. I was thinking, you know, it's like incredible, like these experiences you have when you do a movie with someone or you do a show with someone, right? And the intimacy and the level of like, you know, just the love that you feel for. If I mean, optimally, you feel this love for the other people, you know, like those three guys. You know what I mean?

[Club Random Host]

I love that picture.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah, I love that.

[Club Random Host]

Not that we ever did a movie together, but. But I remember from my acting days in the 80s, you know, I did enough movies that mainly DC Cab won 11 Academy Awards. DC Cab, okay, but 11, yeah, I do remember, of course. And you know, if you're doing a shot on camera as opposed to like a sitcom, you know, kind of episodic TV show, those are long movie hours. And anytime you are like, put in a situation where all you do is be on the set or sleep, that is like your life. And those people you become very close to people in a very short amount of time.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know, like after a week and then it all ends. And this. These. This bonding that was like so intense is now.

[Woody Harrelson]

And now you don't see him for a long time.

[Club Random Host]

Forever.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

It's just. It's a very weird life.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's the weirdest part of the whole program.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. You're always falling in love and then getting divorced.

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah.

[Club Random Host]

You know, and.

[Woody Harrelson]

And not just with the other actors or director, the crew,

[Club Random Host]

the craft service,

[Woody Harrelson]

you know. Do you have to know his name?

[Club Random Host]

We did a movie.

[Woody Harrelson]

Let's call him Ken.

[Club Random Host]

We did a movie of the week together in 1988. And I'm telling you, I missed that guy this very day. He always knew to put the cheese.

[Woody Harrelson]

You're such an elitist. And I mean, look at. You're all black. You know, you are. You're dressed like this shirt. I promise you fifteen hundred dollars. Like this guy. Look at the guy. Look at. Hey, by the way, we were in the same shoes. Same shoes other than mine aren't clean, but you're. We're wearing the same boots.

[Club Random Host]

You're probably some hippie. Not wrong. Mine's real. Because I look good. Yours is some. Yours are not this good. Those are like.

[Woody Harrelson]

These are twice as good as, you know.

[Club Random Host]

They're like from, you know, bamboo yaks.

[Woody Harrelson]

They are from bamboo. You're exactly right.

[Club Random Host]

Right, exactly.

[Woody Harrelson]

And these are what. Those are felt. They're from some poor cow. You don't give a.

[Club Random Host]

About. You know, if we. If we. If we eat it, why throw away the hide? I mean, you're.

[Woody Harrelson]

It's a beautiful.

[Club Random Host]

It's not like. And look, I'm a PETA board member, but it's not like there's people.

[Woody Harrelson]

Emphasis on the board.

[Club Random Host]

It's like fighting with my little sister in 1968. I mean, my big sister. Wait, who am I?

[Woody Harrelson]

Thank you. To give her that.

[Club Random Host]

Wait, who am I anyway? What are your projects that you have coming up? So you've got the animal movie and you've got your.

[Woody Harrelson]

If I thought you gave me shit, I'd give you the whole fucking lineup.

[Club Random Host]

Do you have any charities that you'd like just to feel but bad about it? What are we not doing enough for? I mean, I'm sure many, many, many candidates, but. Yeah,

[Woody Harrelson]

I love how you transition into. We're very lucky. From just pure, you know, crazy. You know, laugh a minute. Just. Mr. Z. Oh, yeah.

[Club Random Host]

That's what you call being a pro. The most important thing in this business Being professional. I tell it to kids all the time. They keep walking you wet and report me. There's a man on the street. But I want these kids to listen. I did a club random recently with two. Two kids. Two like 20 year olds.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay. How'd they make.

[Club Random Host]

It was so good. It was so great.

[Woody Harrelson]

But what about. Well, how'd they end up on the show?

[Club Random Host]

I. I said I want to do a. Of a club random and just with two, you know, not famous, just two kids. Because woke. You know, they weren't. These kids were very hip. This was the good end of the generation. I say that because like they knew basic facts and many, many their age would not like I always use as a guide ask, you know, a 20 year old, approximately how many people on Earth you think you know just as far as like being an aware human.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right.

[Club Random Host]

Wouldn't you know on the planet you live in, about how many people live there?

[Woody Harrelson]

At least several. Several. Several thousand.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay then.

[Club Random Host]

But these kids were smarter than that. They knew. They knew basically the population of Earth. So, you know, a lot of education is who your parents are. I mean, you know, one's father was a doctor, one was a lawyer. So there were kids who were, you know, privileged to live. Like I feel privileged that I grew up in a stable house, which is very rare these days. You know, no divorce. Hardly any divorce even in the neighborhood.

[Woody Harrelson]

You got along great with your mother and your father?

[Club Random Host]

Yes, well, of course, you know, you gotta beef with your parent, your parents. But basically, yeah. I mean, very fortunate that way.

[Woody Harrelson]

Is this a good way to say goodbye?

[Club Random Host]

I mean, I just. I always worry.

[Woody Harrelson]

You're worried about the leg.

[Club Random Host]

I can see the leg.

[Woody Harrelson]

Saw my skin. He saw my calf.

[Club Random Host]

I mean.

[Woody Harrelson]

And by the way, look at the calf. Like how big is it? Like that's crazy. How big this camera can you guys see? Because is. I mean, that's a big gap and it threw him off. Okay, hold it, hold on. How do you. Oh yeah, this direction. Toe point. Charlize the run. She. She disapproves of toe pointing. But anyway.

[Club Random Host]

What?

[Woody Harrelson]

Yeah. If he ever did that, if he pointed a tone for the Charlize, she would. She'd heckle you.

[Club Random Host]

That's why the big problem on the what's the movies whose name we can't think of with Tom Hardy. Not Blade Runner. Not Wasn't it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Why doesn't one of your people. Because my wife should talk to one of those people.

[Club Random Host]

It's just us.

[Woody Harrelson]

Come up here again. No, you know, like you Yell it out from.

[Club Random Host]

This is not. But this is. This is Club Random. This is not the woods. It just happens to be at the woods. My. My game, my rules.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I agree. Just.

[Club Random Host]

Just us. Just us.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay? You and me.

[Club Random Host]

AI can't tell you out. But this is like such a stoner thing that, that we can't remember between the two of us. We can't remember the name of the movie.

[Woody Harrelson]

And I thought it was Blade Runner, you know?

[Club Random Host]

No, Blade Runner is Harrison forward in the year.

[Woody Harrelson]

No. But then they did a new incarnation of it.

[Club Random Host]

No, this is. This is like, you know.

[Woody Harrelson]

Honey, honey, I beg.

[Club Random Host]

No, no, no, no. Better this way.

[Woody Harrelson]

2 hours, 25 minutes.

[Club Random Host]

Don't be a quitter.

[Woody Harrelson]

No, I'm not quitting.

[Club Random Host]

You could. You are.

[Woody Harrelson]

Okay, but wasn't it Blade Runner?

[Club Random Host]

I keep telling you, it wasn't that. It was. I don't know. Didn't Mel Gibson do the first one? Mad Max.

[Woody Harrelson]

Mad Max. You're right, you're right, you're right. Okay, I apologize.

[Club Random Host]

Mad Max.

[Woody Harrelson]

You're totally right.

[Club Random Host]

That's it.

[Woody Harrelson]

Mad Max. Yeah. Where. Where Charlize and Tom and kind of relationship, you know.

[Club Random Host]

I will say one more thing while we're here at the woods promoting this beautiful place. Oh, we promote, but you know, beautiful place. They. They keep trying to say marijuana is bad for you, but it's. What. But it's, you know, nothing is perfect for you. But it's just such a silly campaign, I feel.

[Woody Harrelson]

Such a what?

[Club Random Host]

Silly campaign that they, they refuse to let go of. I mean, even liberal publications now, you know, the parties. And it's always self inflating for them to take the contrarian view, you know, pot is not the harmless drug you think it is. I don't do drugs. But you know, pot is. And it's not completely harmless. But compared to what else you could do.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, compared to alcohol.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, but don't some people just have receptors like THC receptors that, you know, it's almost like we need that sort of connection chemically.

[Woody Harrelson]

I can't speak to those people.

[Club Random Host]

Really? No. Todd always talks about it like we have recept, you know, Is it th would be THC right now, like some people.

[Woody Harrelson]

I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing. Someone told me something really funny yesterday. Just hit home like I didn't realize how funny that joke was till now. Go ahead.

[Club Random Host]

Yeah, I think. I think there's like something. I don't know if it's the thc, but something in our body is, you know, endogenous. To like the outer, the outs, three

[Woody Harrelson]

minutes, the outside

[Club Random Host]

introduction of thc.

[Woody Harrelson]

Right.

[Club Random Host]

So, like, there are people who smoke pot and they get sleepy and there are people who smoke pot and they get paranoid. And there are people who smoke pot and have a much better time than they would if they hadn't.

[Woody Harrelson]

That's true.

[Club Random Host]

Right.

[Woody Harrelson]

Well, we're the ones with those receptors. Yeah. By the way, you're totally right. But also, like, even law enforcement, when they were talking about the ill effects of it, said it made you euphoric. That's what law enforcement used to say. What's wrong with euphoria? Is there something wrong with euphoria? There's something wrong with the drug that makes you think differently. Is that what you look at things differently?

[Club Random Host]

Is that what you've said to a cop?

[Woody Harrelson]

No. No, you don't want to say that.

[Club Random Host]

No, you don't want to say that to a cop. What you want to do is show them your leg like that. It always works with the cops. Also, if you're the hopper part, if you're hitchhiking, just show a little leg. All right. All right.

[Woody Harrelson]

Club Random. You know, let's quit before the last minute.

[Club Random Host]

Why? You got somewhere to go?

[Woody Harrelson]

No.

[Club Random Host]

What are you doing?

[Woody Harrelson]

Nowhere.

[Club Random Host]

Oh, well, I'm hungry.

[Woody Harrelson]

Are you hungry? Let's.
