[Dave Franco]

We shot now you to Me in Macau when a Now you to me. This right at the camera almost hit the camera, hit the producer. I'm so sorry.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I am sitting with a man who is not just handsome, good looking, attractive.

[Dave Franco]

Keep going.

[Ike Barinholtz]

A dime hot. How else do you feel turned on?

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He's also an actor, writer, director, husband, and cat fancier.

[Dave Franco]

All correct.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Dave Franco, welcome to Funny you ask.

[Dave Franco]

Thank you so much for having me.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We've acted together before. The Neighbors films.

[Dave Franco]

That's where we met, right?

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's where we first met.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We met on Neighbors 1. We did the series, the After Party and show called the Studio.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, yeah. Which one do you think we fell in love on?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I think we really fell in love on the After Party.

[Dave Franco]

I was gonna say Neighbors. It was kind of love at first sight for me.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Neighbors. Like, I was like, this guy's so great, but I'm not gonna get to work with him again.

[Dave Franco]

To be fair. After Party, our characters were kind of rivals.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes.

[Dave Franco]

But there was a lot of improv. And naturally, in every scene, what ended up happening was you didn't know if we were gonna fight or fuck.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah.

[Dave Franco]

I remember there was one scene where we are right in each other's faces in the bathroom. I think it was in, like I say, this is my dojo, this is my octagon. We're right in each other's faces. And I surprised you with a little pop kiss on the mouth. One take.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's when I fell in love, that moment. There we go.

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That was like this guy. This is a guy that I'm gonna have dinner with every six weeks for the next five years.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But you're not just all these things. You also claim you know a little bit about horror movies.

[Dave Franco]

I do enjoy horror.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Los Angeles restaurants.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And movies made in the year 1999.

[Dave Franco]

I worked at a Mom Pot video store in the year 1999. Midtown Video in.

[Ike Barinholtz]

In the Bay Area.

[Dave Franco]

In the Bay Area. In Palo Alto.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Midtown Video.

[Dave Franco]

Midtown video. I was 14 years old, actually illegal for me to be working there at that age.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And so child labor laws.

[Dave Franco]

There we go. And so they paid me by allowing me to take home as many movies as I wanted. And that's how I started watching everything. And it happened to be one of the best movie years of all time.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It is. It is the actual best movie year of all time.

[Dave Franco]

Books about it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I, too, like, my formative years were spent in a video store.

[Dave Franco]

Really?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I love it. Yeah. Nationwide Video in Chicago. I Would go there and just spend like three hours.

[Dave Franco]

Tell me about that porn section there.

[Ike Barinholtz]

They had an adult section in the back. And I was just like, like I would like just kind of dunk my head in, you know what I mean? And just like try to like take like with my eyes, you know what I mean? That's when the pornos had story, you know what I mean? It was like.

[Dave Franco]

It was imagine though, 14 year old me working behind the counter. I looked like I was 9. And some people are coming up and renting those videos, those pornos. And you got a nine year old looking back at you.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Hello, little boy. Where's anal exploders? Right? Yeah, that's a tough one if you have like a young looking boy.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And people are asking for hardcore.

[Dave Franco]

That's right.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But at least like that, like I said, the pornos back then there was like they had. They were feature tasteful, they were cinematography, they had titles. Yeah, that's like Debbie Does Dallas.

[Ad Read Voice]

Sure.

[Ike Barinholtz]

You know what it's about now, like the clip. Their movies are like, they're called like Girl fucks her friends. Exactly.

[Dave Franco]

Back then they had Shaving Ryan's Private.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's like, yeah, we should bring that back. Should we open a mini major studio and make me.

[Dave Franco]

I think Dave Franco and Ike Baradoltz are the two to bring back porn parody.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Porn parodies. That's the thing. We'd be like, it's like scary Movie, but they're fucking a little bit, you know, it's fine.

[Dave Franco]

I think this thing sells itself.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Me trying to think of a movie that came out this year.

[Dave Franco]

This year?

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, Like Hamnet, Hamnet Fox.

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's it right there.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Song. Song blue balls.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, hello. Okay, give me sentimental value.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Sentimental val Goo.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, we were on the same. We were in, we were going,

[Ike Barinholtz]

what's another one? That's up.

[Dave Franco]

We got one. One come after another one. I just go back to calm again.

[Ike Barinholtz]

One butt after another.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that works.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah. What else are the other big ones? If I had legs, I'd. You.

[Dave Franco]

Oh.

[Ike Barinholtz]

If I had legs, I suck you. Oh. Sequel, prequel. And then give me one more movie that's up this year. We should really actually do this.

[Dave Franco]

Marty Supreme.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Marty Sukhrim. Marty, it was so good having you on the show, man. So here's how this is gonna work. I'm gonna ask you three questions based on the areas of expertise that you gave me. You're gonna ask me three questions based on the completely random trivia questions in front of you.

[Dave Franco]

Because you know a little bit about everything.

[Ike Barinholtz]

A little bit. Except there's no math in there. Very little science.

[Dave Franco]

Are you bad at math?

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like. Like subhumanly stupid.

[Dave Franco]

7 times 9.

[Ike Barinholtz]

63.

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That is. That's the last. As high as I go, baby. My, literally my fourth grade daughter will be like, dad, can you help me with this? And I'm like, oh, that's a. That's a mom question. It also changed. It's not the same thing. It's like Singapore math now. It's like a different way to look at it. It's messed up. It really messes with your head. But I'm gonna ask you one of those questions based on your areas. You're gonna ask me a random. We'll do that two more times. Then we have the speed round.

[Dave Franco]

And this is. I assume this is all kind of inspired by the fact that you're Jeopardy. Champion. You're just a guy who knows a lot about things.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I love trivia. But then I always am intrigued when friends of mine people I know random shit about weird things.

[Dave Franco]

I'm gonna preface this whole game by saying I'm not gonna be good at this game.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Good. I like that. That's what everyone says. All right, here we go. Here we go. Boom, boom, boom. All right, Dave Franco.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Let's get started right here. We're gonna start with a question about horror movies. This 1973 classic was the first horror movie nominated for an Oscar, netting 10 nominations in all and winning two for Best Adapted screenplay and sound.

[Dave Franco]

Sound and best adapted screenplay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

1973.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, shit, let's go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And I can give you a hint if you need a hint.

[Dave Franco]

I don't think I need one. I'm going to go with. I might be way off here.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Exorcist Dave Franco is on the board, ladies and gentlemen.

[Dave Franco]

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

[Ike Barinholtz]

For a bonus bonus question.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

What is the name of the actress who played young Reagan McNeil?

[Dave Franco]

I'm not going to get that one. Next.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Was it Linda Blair? Oh, fuck.

[Dave Franco]

I should have known.

[Ike Barinholtz]

She played Reagan. She's the one who says your mother sucks cocks in hell.

[Dave Franco]

That's right.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's a tough line to give to like an 11 year old.

[Dave Franco]

But that's a line delivery that you should remember the person who delivered it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes, yes, in a way.

[Dave Franco]

But never forget it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

What is the first horror movie ever

[Dave Franco]

saw that I ever saw? The. The formative horror movies for me growing up were it the miniseries with John Ritter. With Ritter. And we got who's Pennywise. Tim Curry.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Tim Curry.

[Dave Franco]

I remember watching that movie or miniseries and, you know, pennywise. He comes out of drains and he comes out of the water. And so I remember after I watched it for. For the next week, I took showers with the door open while wearing a bathing suit because I thought he was going to come out of the drain and get me. And my mom said, you need to stop doing that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But you still do that to this day.

[Dave Franco]

That's true.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Bri comes home and it's like, dave's in the shower. He's another dude now. Yeah. I remember when they remade it early on, my agent was like, will you send in a tape to be Pennywise?

[Dave Franco]

Come on.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And I was like. I was like, yeah, let me think about it. And I remember, like, going in the mirror and being like. Literally one time being like, hello. Nope, Nope, that's a. That's a fucking pass. And guess what? Bill Skarsgard is brilliant and incredible. And so aren't you glad when that happens and you see who did it? You're so glad you didn't even waste a minute of your time.

[Dave Franco]

That's most projects I get these days.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes.

[Dave Franco]

I'm like, I don't want to see me in this. Someone can do a better job. Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah. For me, the scariest movies growing up, I was never, like, the big slasher guy.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I, like. I never was scared, ever of Freddy Krueger. Campy, you know, he's fun. I like those movies, but he was, you know, I guess Friday the 13th. The first one when the boy comes out of the lake. I remember being like, but which one really got you. I was. I liked John Carpenter movies a lot.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I love the Thing.

[Dave Franco]

The Thing is top five all time. Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

They live.

[Dave Franco]

Sure.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Big one.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Big one for me.

[Dave Franco]

How do we feel about Halloween?

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, that's the scariest movie ever. Exactly. That's the scariest movie I saw when I was.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

For sure.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dave Franco]

Candyman really got me as a kid, too.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Don't say it two more times.

[Dave Franco]

That's what I was gonna say. Or not.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Seriously.

[Dave Franco]

I don't.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We don't have.

[Dave Franco]

But that was the type of. You have a sleepover with your friends, you go in the mirror, you say the name, and it's like, you don't

[Ike Barinholtz]

sleep that night, and one of your friends gets eaten by a bunch of bees. It's really bad. I think in recent times, the scariest movie I think, is 28 days later.

[Dave Franco]

28 days later is fucking perfect.

[Ike Barinholtz]

First time they had fast zombies.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah. They invented the fast zombie.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Because I love zombies. I love dawn of the Dead. Growing up, I'd watch it all the time, but they were. I always was like, run.

[Dave Franco]

I know, exactly.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah. You could. You have time to, like, hit them on the head multiple times. But 28 days later was the one where it was.

[Dave Franco]

That's high up there in terms of, like, more modern horror. What else I got? It follows.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It follows. Incredible.

[Dave Franco]

Yes. There's some good foreign stuff. There's. Let the Right One In.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Amazing.

[Dave Franco]

We got. Have you seen Goodnight, Mommy?

[Ike Barinholtz]

No.

[Dave Franco]

Put it on the list. Austrian movie, fucked up. We got Speak no Evil. They made a remake with James McAvoy, but the original is so dark. I remember me and Alison went into that, knowing nothing about it, and the movie ended and she turned to me, she said, why did you do that to me?

[Ike Barinholtz]

See, that's what I have with Erica, who just, God bless her. She doesn't, like, love the thrill getting scared.

[Dave Franco]

I get it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

So I end up having to watch these movies by myself, and then I get scared.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like a kid.

[Dave Franco]

I'll come over anytime. You know that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, I know you will. Hey, if you and I made. If we were in a horror movie together, who dies first?

[Dave Franco]

Wow. We both die pretty quick. It's just, who dies quicker?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I'm the first to go.

[Dave Franco]

Ooh, I. I'm the first to go. I think we die together, dude.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I like it.

[Dave Franco]

I really do.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, it's one of those scenes where like. Like, I'm like, all right, I'll make us some quesadillas. Yeah, like, while I'm making the quesadillas, I'm like, you like jalapenos? You're getting, like. Like gutted in the other room, you know, I'm like, anyways, Dick. Huh? And then I turn around and the guy, like, shoves a knife right by dick.

[Dave Franco]

No, no. You, like. You get surprised and you slip and, like, the frying pan, like, decapitates you get murdered.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But I get my final destination.

[Dave Franco]

Exactly. It's just two dumb asses dying at the same time.

[Ike Barinholtz]

If you're making a horror film based on, like, your kind of great fear, and I don't mean, like, kid, someone you love is kidnapped or anything like that, but like. Like a mundane kind of fear. But you want to make a horror movie about it.

[Dave Franco]

I mean, I did that. I did that with my first. The first movie I directed called the Rental, which is a horror set in an Airbnb, which at the time, no one had done that. There are many of them now.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Right, right, right. Another thing I love when I'm like, oh, I love.

[Dave Franco]

I did that years ago, but that was based on my kind of paranoia of home sharing, where I would just think about how, like, what's keeping someone from renting a place, making copies of the Key, and then coming back at a later day whenever they want.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah. They can do whatever they want.

[Dave Franco]

Like, why don't people do that? I mean, I don't want to encourage people to do that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

No, no, no, no, no. That movie was incredible. What's his name is. Who's my guy? Who's the.

[Dave Franco]

We got. We got Jeremy Allen White. We got Dan Stevens. We got Toby Huss.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Toby has my guy. I know Toby Huss. I've worked with Toby.

[Dave Franco]

You work with him on.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We did White Plumbers together. We went to dinner one night and I was like, you are, like, the most fascinating guy.

[Dave Franco]

Toby is one of those. Those actors. He doesn't miss.

[Ike Barinholtz]

No.

[Dave Franco]

Incredible.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And everything always hits, man. Toby Huss. For me, if I was gonna make one, I'm making a horror movie called. It's called the Bathroom Door.

[Dave Franco]

Go on.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And your protagonist is a dad, and he works hard for his family, and he loves his family. And every once in a while, he goes into the bathroom. Okay, okay. And he. He just. He goes into, you know, use the bathroom. But he also is like, I'm gonna. It's his time.

[Dave Franco]

Sure.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And he goes in there and reads article.

[Dave Franco]

I like where they're going with this. Yeah, yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And then you start to hear these, like, dull thuds.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, right.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like. Like, like little hands are hitting the door. Okay. And you start to hear, come out, dad. Dad, get out.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

You've been in there so long. Right.

[Dave Franco]

Right now it's making dad nervous, and

[Ike Barinholtz]

now it's making that nervous, and he can'. And he's got the word all wrong. And he's sweating and he's fudgeing so mad. And then finally he, like, opens the door and is like. He hears the kids talking to his wife and saying, dad's disgusting. He's in the bathroom. He's so gross. And he thinks his wife is going to be like, give your father some privacy.

[Dave Franco]

Oh. Oh, right.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And she's like, I don't know what to tell you kids. It's pretty gross.

[Dave Franco]

They all turn on him.

[Ike Barinholtz]

They all turn on him.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Idris Elba plays the father.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, sure.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Will you direct it? I mean, I'll be the voices of the Kids.

[Dave Franco]

And you're saying, let me. Let me go back. This is what. What percentage autobiographical is this?

[Ike Barinholtz]

89. Exactly. This happened two mornings, literally. This is like, fresh in my head.

[Dave Franco]

Sure. This is also reminding me a bit of. We just rewatched this is 40, and there's a scene where she's finally like, I'm going to give you a blowjob. And it's like the first time in a long time, clearly. And the kids are pounding on the door, screaming.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, I remember that movie came out and I was. I was like. I was 30 or whatever, and I was like, I don't get this shit. Like, I love Paul and. But I was like, I don't get the jokes. But then I've been watching, like, for some reason, clips of it have been coming on Instagram and everyone. I'm like, this is amazing.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Eric and I gonna do a rewatch. Man.

[Dave Franco]

[Ike Barinholtz]

and him and his wife had, like, a rare moment alone where, like, the. The. The three kids were downstairs and one was sleeping and the other two are watching a show. And so they were like, by ourselves. Have sex. And they have, like, have sex. And right as he finishes, yeah, the doorbell rings and he's like, oh, fuck, our new nanny. I forgot. Fuck, our new nanny's coming. This is her first day to meet the kids. And he just grabs a pair of basketball shorts and Pulls them on, and the baby's crying because the doorbell rings and he comes in, he picks up the baby, and he opens the door, and he's like, hello. And as he opens the door, his second kid pulls his.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like. Like 90 seconds after, he just finished having sex. And, you know, like, it's.

[Dave Franco]

Can I say, in the Idris movie I'm going to direct, I will put that scene in there.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's a cold open.

[Dave Franco]

That's a good cold.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's in there. That's in there. If you could play any part in any horror movie that's being remade, remove the pressure of. Is it going to be better? It's not going to be better. This is just. If you. If you were, like, a crazy billionaire and you could, like, remake a classic horror movie or. And play, like, would it be, like, Jack Torrance in the Shiny.

[Dave Franco]

No, no, no, no.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Who would it be?

[Dave Franco]

I mean, the Shining is maybe my favorite horror movie ever, but that's probably why I just can't even imagine myself in it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Right, right, right.

[Dave Franco]

God, this is so hard.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's hard, but, like. And remember, it's not going to be better. I know, but just for you, you're like.

[Dave Franco]

I think my gut is telling me something like a scream.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah.

[Dave Franco]

And I think I say that because it's like a big ensemble.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah.

[Dave Franco]

And it's just there's. Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

You play Skeet. I play Lillard.

[Dave Franco]

Exactly.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Come on.

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I would do Migs from Silence of the Lambs. Oh, he's the guy that's like. He throws jizz at her.

[Dave Franco]

He's. Wait, wait, he's not the one line. He's. Oh, I got you. I got you one line. Just throw.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Okay. They're remaking Size of the Lambs, and I'm gonna be in it. Honestly, who am I playing? Doesn't matter.

[Dave Franco]

Honestly, you'd crush that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I would. I would. I would say that guy.

[Dave Franco]

Not you. Idris, for sure.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That guy was a legend. Who played that part? I don't know the actor's name.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He burned up the silver screen.

[Dave Franco]

That's a fucking great role.

[Ike Barinholtz]

All right. Dave Franco. Yes, Dave Franco.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Do I.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Ask me a question.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And if. If you don't like it, you want to throw behind you, get a new one. I have not seen any of these.

[Dave Franco]

I'm going to love it. Okay, here we go. One city pulls in more gambling revenue than Las Vegas, sometimes more than double, and has become the true global center of casino gaming. The question Is where is considered the biggest gambling hub in the world by revenue.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Biggest gambling hub. Okay, okay. I. I have no idea. I'm going to guess Maau.

[Dave Franco]

Fuck. You got it?

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes. I knew it was either Macau, but I was like Monte Carlo. But that's so small. But Maau's got to be big.

[Dave Franco]

So the reason that I knew that is because we shot now you to me in Maau. When a Now you to me this right at the camera almost hit the camera, hit the producer. I'm so sorry.

[Ike Barinholtz]

This guy knows how to cards for a living. Okay, so wait, so you were shooting

[Dave Franco]

now you to me now you to me in Macau. And I remember we had a long weekend off and we decided, a few of us decided to go to Hong Kong. And so we have this crazy night out in Hong Kong. And at the end of the night, we end up back at Woody Harrelson's hotel room.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Sure.

[Dave Franco]

You know Woody.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We love Woody.

[Dave Franco]

Woody's a madman.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He got vegan room service.

[Dave Franco]

God, we love Woody. He's just floating through life. He's invincible. Nothing bad can ever happen.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He's got his own song and it's beautiful.

[Dave Franco]

Exactly. So we end up back at his hotel room. It's like 4 in the morning. We are all very up. We're hanging out with some dude named Jez. And at one point we look over and before I say this, so as you know with Woody, he doesn't like fumes and no air condition.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes, exactly.

[Dave Franco]

He likes a clean living. He likes clean air.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Clean, yes. Unless it's weed inhaling.

[Dave Franco]

That's correct. And so he of course got the one room in this hotel where you could open the window. And when you're on a high up floor, you don't want people to open the window for obvious reasons. But we're on the 50th floor, it's 4am, we're hanging out with Jez. We're all fucked up. And we look over and Woody is standing on the windowsill in his socks and he is cackling. And we're like, Woody, this is. Don't. This is. We're about to watch Woody Harrelson fall to his dad death. He is laughing as loud as he can, which is like making it more precarious, but spoiler. He survived. He survived.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He's still alive.

[Dave Franco]

He's still alive.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yo, do you know how stressful that would been for you? Because then you have to for the rest of your time be like, yeah, I was there. Like, Inside Edition is calling You. It's like, oh, my God.

[Dave Franco]

Exactly.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Jesus.

[Dave Franco]

Somehow we're tied to Jez for the rest of our lives. It's just like,

[Ike Barinholtz]

Allison James in town. I got to go have dinner. It's Woody's memorial again. Do you gamble? Do you like to gamble in a casino?

[Dave Franco]

I, I don't gamble much. I, I'll do. I'll do, like, a. A hand or two, but I. I'm not a big gambler.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I don't do it much, but when I do it, I love it. And I don't do, like, I, I, I, I, I. I don't spend, like, a ton of money on. This is crazy. But when we shot the studio in Las Vegas, sure. That was something that I have never experienced in my life. There would be a scene where the camera's following, like, me and Chase.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And she's like, all right, I'm gonna go this way. And I'm like, all right, I'll see you here. And the camera stays with her. And I would walk literally two feet and just start playing blackjack. It was so horrible.

[Dave Franco]

I mean, that's what comes when we're living. Living in Vegas for two weeks straight.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I gotta tell you, obviously, when it was over, I was ready to come home.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I needed to. It was also. You couldn't go outside because, like, 112 degrees.

[Dave Franco]

Yes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But I had so much fun shooting in Vegas. Yeah. It was like, I, I feel like I could have been in the Rat Pack. I'm not Frank or Dean, but I'm like, I'm as good as Peter Lawford.

[Dave Franco]

No one's arguing that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Come on.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, I know.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like, I could do that. You.

[Dave Franco]

I, I, I. I can't say I enjoyed two weeks straight of Vegas as much as you.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yes. Yeah. You were definitely. By the end, you're like, I, I only one night. I was like, what a good dinner. You were like, nope.

[Dave Franco]

I have good boundaries these days.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It does. It does get to be a lot. It does get to be a lot.

[Dave Franco]

But we had a full blast.

[Ike Barinholtz]

So fun.

[Dave Franco]

And it was also fun for me coming in and, like, I was fresh. You guys had all been. You. You had shot the entire season. You guys were a little delirious. We were.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We were watching. Yes. Yes.

[Dave Franco]

But it was fun to just kind of come in and be like, okay, I'm gonna try to help bring the energy up.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And like, that last night, if without you, we wouldn't have made it, because it was like, me and Seth and Chase. Matt Bellany was Like, four in the morning. It was crazy. You were like, those are the guys that I cheated on. I remember laughing. Dude, those.

[Dave Franco]

I'm thinking back on these three things that we've worked on together, and those are three of the most fun times I've ever had on set. And a lot of that is because of you.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Back at you.

[Dave Franco]

I swear to God. I mean, I'm thinking back to neighbors, and, like, gosh, I remember going into that feeling pretty anxious, if I'm being honest, because I knew there was going to be a ton of improv. I hadn't done a lot at that point.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah.

[Dave Franco]

And I. I quickly realized, though, that, like, no one expected me to keep up with Seth or you or any of these other people who are so fast. It's like, I quickly realized, like, if I'm just listening, I'm just reacting off you guys organically and naturally. Like, you guys are so good at what you do that no matter what I say, you will turn it into gold and make me funnier than I am. And so I felt so protected on that movie.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Well, that's seven. Evan are like, the kings of that. You're so funny that. I was just flipping channels the other day. It was literally the scene when you're playing De Niro and says, like, did you paint that mole on yourself? He goes, yes, I did, Faka. Yes, I did.

[Dave Franco]

When you were talking about looking at yourself in the mirror earlier and trying to be Pennywise, that's literally what I did for that De Niro scene, where I remember the whole, like, week or two leading up to that scene, I'm like, okay, am I gonna try to do a De Niro impression? And I couldn't quite figure it out. And then the night before, I just started physically pushing my face around.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dave Franco]

And I found it. And when I got it in the

[Ike Barinholtz]

right position, that's it right there. That's the face.

[Dave Franco]

Now it's just locked in. I just can lock it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I saw you, like, the next day. You're like, my face hurts so much from you doing this all day.

[Dave Franco]

Well, that was the problem, too.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I don't know what the you're talking about. Yeah, no, I'm sorry. You ever seen me ever seen De Niro on the set? There's a clip of him. They were doing a commercial for the Tribeca Film Festival, and it was, like, sponsored by, like, Mercedes Benz or something. And De Niro's talk. He's doing a promo for it. De Niro goes, It's something like, imagination is the most important part of filmmaking. That's why we started the Tribeca Film Festival. Check it out this week and whatever. And this commercial director off camera goes, bob, that's really great. Can you just do one more high energy and De Niro. No, no, that's. That is high energy. He goes, no, I'm sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I'm not selling cars. And just walked away.

[Dave Franco]

And I was like, he's earned it. He's earned it. But, yeah, I mean, my face hurt like hell because they. They started on Seth and Rose's coverage, and I was trying to be a giving actor, and so I was giving them the face for, like, a few hours. And then you turn around on me, and I just couldn't hold it anymore.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah, no, it's so. It's so. It's so bad. I'm gonna ask you a question.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Dave Franco. Dave Franco. This is a question about Los Angeles restaurants.

[Dave Franco]

Okay? Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Los Angeles can boast lots of culinary firsts, but there's one that seems to loom large. What sandwich that can be made wet had its origins here in la. Oh, fuck.

[Dave Franco]

That can be made wet.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Can be made wet.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, you're getting me horny.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Can be made wet. It can squirt a little bit.

[Dave Franco]

And is this. Give me a hint. Give me a hint.

[Ad Read Voice 2]

Pepsi Prebiotic Cola in original and cherry vanilla that Pepsi taste you love with just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola. Unbelievably Pepsi.

[Ike Barinholtz]

One of the words in the title is international. International, not American.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And also not indicative of that country's cuisine.

[Dave Franco]

Every word you say makes me more confused. I'm gonna go with the Bonjour turkey.

[Ike Barinholtz]

The answer is bonjour.

[Dave Franco]

There we go. There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

The answer is a French dip.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, I would have never gotten that.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Really?

[Dave Franco]

I have never ordered a French dip in my life.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, really?

[Dave Franco]

Not once, huh? Not once.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Good to know.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

For the future. Well, then you're not going to know this bonus question, but I'm give it to you anyways for an extra point. Name one of the two places that claim they've created it. Oh, there's two places in la. Both claim to be.

[Dave Franco]

Are they old? They're old school.

[Ike Barinholtz]

They're old school.

[Dave Franco]

Ooh, I'm gonna go with, like, Musso and Frank.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Close.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But this. These are. They're both on the east side. East side one has, like, a cool, like, speakeasy in it, I think. Or it did for a while. One is a man's first name and one is a person's last name.

[Dave Franco]

You just gotta give it to me.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Philippe's or Kohl's.

[Dave Franco]

Wouldn't have gotten either.

[Ike Barinholtz]

If you don't know, no matter how

[Dave Franco]

much time you gave me, would never have gotten.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I love it. I love it, I love it, I love it. Let me ask you a question about food. I'm gonna ask you some questions about.

[Dave Franco]

Give it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

LA restaurants. Okay, I'm gonna go. We're gonna go tit for tat. Okay, so you're gonna name one and then I'm gonna name one. Okay, we're gonna try to see who has the best one.

[Dave Franco]

Any restaurant.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Any restaurant.

[Dave Franco]

Good restaurants.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It could be whatever. It could be a taco stand, it could be a sit down restaurant. Whatever you like. Let's gonna go tip for tape.

[Dave Franco]

Let's go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I'll start. Boom. Safi's.

[Dave Franco]

Oh, God, that's my freaky.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I'm going, I'm going. Okay, this weekend. Guess why I'm going Saturday. Matt Hannah's birthday. Jealous much? God.

[Dave Franco]

Matt Hannah, a little aside, Matt Hanna is married to my agent who is also Ike's best friend. And Matt Hannah is a beautiful, beautiful.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He's just a handsome guy.

[Dave Franco]

He's just a beautiful boy.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He's beautiful inside and out.

[Dave Franco]

And my agent despises when I bring up how handsome her husband is.

[Ike Barinholtz]

She's literally disgusted by it.

[Dave Franco]

She should own it. Like what are we talking about?

[Ike Barinholtz]

You're married to a freaking dime.

[Dave Franco]

You get to do that. Okay, I'm going right across the street from Oyster.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, okay. Found Oyster. I'm gonna go a place that you and I have been to, Bavel.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. I'm going to another place near there that we've both been to. Major Domo.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Major Domo is a miracle restaurant. That's a miracle restaurant. Okay, okay. Major Domo. Okay, okay. Mother Wolf.

[Dave Franco]

Mother Wolf. Okay, we're gonna go in the theme. Felix.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Damn, I just went to Funke.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. All three. All three funky restaurants.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He is the man was funky.

[Dave Franco]

Any different than the other two?

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's like a blend of the two.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And it's incredible.

[Dave Franco]

They're all great.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, my God.

[Dave Franco]

Okay, let's go with Night Market.

[Ike Barinholtz]

One of my favorites. One of my faves. I'm gonna stay in that, man. I'm gonna say July.

[Dave Franco]

I knew you would go. We all knew you would.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I love her.

[Dave Franco]

Okay, we're gonna go with a sandwich shot shop. My favorite sandwich shop. Largemont Wine and Cheese.

[Ike Barinholtz]

My hood. Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna stay on Largemont.

[Dave Franco]

I know. I know where you're going with.

[Ike Barinholtz]

You know I'm going with.

[Dave Franco]

Yeah, let's say it at the same time. One, two, three. Max and Helens.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Boom. Okay, shout out. So. So, so I'm friends with the people who own Max and Allen's. And you. I remember one day I. I saw you there and you were like, the lines, like, hours to get in. I was like, oh, yeah, I'm friends with them, blah, blah. And you, like, met them that.

[Dave Franco]

That. That day.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And weeks later, our friend Esther Chang reached out and was to me and you and was like, I would like to bring my families to Max and Helen's if you guys know a way to get us a good time to go and we can figure it out. And I was like, got it. And I instantly texted my contact, yeah, can you hook up my friend?

[Dave Franco]

And then overnight, did you hear anything?

[Ike Barinholtz]

That hurts?

[Dave Franco]

And then it took overnight. You still hadn't heard anything. And I was like, esther, let me try. And within two and a half minutes,

[Ike Barinholtz]

you did it in, like, literally, like three minutes. And it was like. I was like, this is. I. I am on Shogun. I'm gonna commit sepuku Erica. I'm gonna open my intestines. You will administer the death blow, and I will be dead. Do you ever with fast food at all?

[Dave Franco]

Yes. I'm a big in and out fan.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Okay, so let's. Let's do some tiers of fast food, because I used to eat a lot more fast food than I.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

But I think it's a truly. A tiered system. Right? You have your F tier. You got your ones that aren't great. You got your.

[Dave Franco]

What are you throwing in the.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, God. Carl's junior for me. Oh, that's.

[Dave Franco]

That's a rough one to hear something. I don't know if I've ever been to Carl's Jr.

[Ike Barinholtz]

If I was going to plan a dinner for my enemy in Los Angeles or a lunch, I would be like, here's what you're having. You're. You're having Carl's Jr. And you're. You're eating it in your car on the 405 in, like, the worst traffic you've ever seen. And it's like 91 degrees in your AC.

[Dave Franco]

There we go.

[Ike Barinholtz]

There we go. For the folks listening or watching that live east of, I don't know, Colorado. That is Hardee's. Carl's Jr. Is Hardee's. Same company Carl Karcher started. He's Carl from Carl's Jr. And I don't know why he was like, people in the west won't understand Hardee's or people in the east won't understand Carl's Jr. You got to make it Hardee's. They're not great. It's not my favorite. I've had some bad experiences and I find their burgers smell. Smell like bottom.

[Dave Franco]

This isn't. That's an interesting choice by them.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah. It's weird.

[Dave Franco]

It's so weird. It's like, it goes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's so like, it's still popular enough.

[Dave Franco]

There are everywhere though, right?

[Ike Barinholtz]

They're all over the country. National chain. But like, there is, I think Colorado maybe. And I don't know what.

[Dave Franco]

What competes within and out for you?

[Ike Barinholtz]

Well, Internet. The thing is this regional. Regional always wins. Right. As opposed to a national chain.

[Dave Franco]

I hear you.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like, I will always go to in and out. If I'm anywhere in the Midwest, there's a place called Culver's.

[Dave Franco]

Never heard of it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's probably like the rows of. Oh, of fast food. Yeah, it's. It's mostly in like, Indiana, Wisconsin, maybe a couple in Illinois. They put like a ton of butter on the burger and they also have fried cheese curds. Is one of the. It's. It's incredible. There was one here.

[Dave Franco]

What's the shit you were getting, though, when you were in College? Fudgeing. Hammered 2:00am where are you going?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I mean, and I didn't do a lot in Chicago when I was doing improv my college age.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[Ike Barinholtz]

The is. We're in like, Chicago. So you're getting like. You're getting like the best, like, hot dog or like the, The. The. The thing that broke me. And this is what I get in, like arguments with friends about is I am vehemently and I'm sorry. Anti Taco Bell.

[Dave Franco]

That's okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

I can't do it. And I lived across the street from a Taco Bell and I had it three times in one day.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And it was like, I can never go back.

[Dave Franco]

How was that day? What led to this script that I'm directing of you that was like. That was like, okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

That's like when we get a different actor. Idris is too old. He's aged out. You get like.

[Dave Franco]

Is a different time if you go

[Ike Barinholtz]

into Taco Bell that you get Damon Idris. So you're staying in the Idris theme. He's playing. Oh, wow.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And.

[Dave Franco]

And he.

[Ike Barinholtz]

He is. Yeah. That's like his first day. He has Taco Bell three times in one day. And, like, you cut into his stomach and you see, like, the DNA in his stomach.

[Dave Franco]

Be like, yes, yes. Because what we all want from Damon Idris is just seeing the precursor to his massive.

[Ike Barinholtz]

We're taking two of the hottest act all time, and there's movies about him shitting. So anyways, regionals always take. But for the national chains, like, I put Taco Bell down there. I put Carl's Jr. You're working your way up to kind of like Jack in the Box Subway.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Work your way up a little bit to the beach here, which is McDonald's. And then the A tier for national fast food for me is, I like Wendy's.

[Dave Franco]

I love, like, that square burger. Is that the one?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I like the square burger, but I love Popeyes. Whoa. I will. I could fuck.

[Dave Franco]

Sell me. Sell me on Popeyes in 20 seconds.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Okay? Popeyes, first of all, you're going to get a. The best possible national chain sandwich, which is their spicy chicken sandwich.

[Dave Franco]

Okay?

[Ike Barinholtz]

They also have really, like.

[Dave Franco]

They have the best spicy chicken.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Best spicy chicken by far. And every once in a while, they have a thing called a tackle box, which is fried, decent pieces of shrimp.

[Dave Franco]

Okay?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I could eat it over and over. It's by far the best chain Popeyes. If you're watching, we would love to do an ad and ad read. Dave Franco, right here, look in that camera and say, I love Popeyes.

[Dave Franco]

I love Popeyes. I love Popeyes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Dave Franco, I want you to ask me another question that would be really, really exciting for me, and if you don't like it, you can toss it this way and then get another one.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. I just looked at the answer, and so I think I'm gonna like this.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Okay.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Book releases can come with some pretty big publicity stunts to drum up attention, and this NBA star did just that. The question is, name the player who staged a 1996 publicity stunt to promote his memoir by going to a bookstore in a custom wedding dress in full drag, escorted by women in tuxedos, and claimed he was marrying himself.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Number 91, Dennis Rodman. I remember literally that day I was living in Chicago. I remember like. Like, that was when, like, you would still hear about things on the news.

[Dave Franco]

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Like, it would be like. Like Channel 5 at News Noon. Dennis Rodman getting married to himself. Yeah, he. He was incredible.

[Dave Franco]

[Dave Franco]

The movie. Am I wrong that it wasn't like a big hit when it first came out?

[Ike Barinholtz]

No, no, no, no. Very culty. Very culty. So check this out. Brendan Fraser, right? Britain Fraser, he did the Mummy. But he also did. He played, if you remember, George of the Jungle.

[Dave Franco]

Just to pile on to the B phrase, we just rewatched Encino man last week. He is so fucking good in that. The movie is so bonkers. Him and Pauly Shore are perfection. They're. No one's ever said no notes.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Yeah.

[Dave Franco]

And.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Wow. And. But, oh, my God, in high school, girls must have been like, he's so cute.

[Dave Franco]

No, I don't think so. I was. I was the kid. I've told this story, but, like, I. I had a crush on this girl, and I decided, okay, I'm gonna go to 7 11, and I'm gonna get just a bunch of candy. And I don't know what she likes, but I'm gonna get it all. I'm gonna put it in a bag. I'm gonna give it to her tomorrow at lunch, and it's gonna be amazing. So the next day at lunch, I see her and her friends at a distance, and they're under this tree. And instead of just kind of going over and, you know, being like, I got this candy for you, my nerves started kicking in. And so what I did is I started sprinting towards them, and when I got near them, I chucked a bag of candy at her, and I didn't break stride and I ran away.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Get out. See from. Get out. And I love, too. She's like, I'm diabetic, you dick.

Okay.

[Ike Barinholtz]

And I. I like early 99. I moved to Amsterdam. Oh, that's right. I lost my mind in the best way.

[Dave Franco]

In what way?

[Ike Barinholtz]

I. I. For. It was the first time I didn't have to have a night job. I could get paid to do improv. I performed at Boom Chicago, which is this theater, which is still there.

[Dave Franco]

And you were your friends, right?

[Ike Barinholtz]

In Amsterdam, it was like I went with one or two people that I knew, but that's where I met Josh Myers and Seth Meyers and Liz Kakowski and Jordan Peele, Jason. All these people that we were friends with. And it was incredible. It was like 99 was like. It wasn't. It was before the Euro. We were still on the Gilder. It was like Monopoly money, and it was 2 to 1. So you'd be like, this is half. Everything's half off. Like, I was. I.

[Dave Franco]

When you. When you think of Amsterdam in that time, what's like. Like two images that immediately come to mind.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Threesome.

[Dave Franco]

Wow. That's what I was hoping for. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the second?

[Ike Barinholtz]

It was safe.

[Dave Franco]

[Dave Franco]

Just for fun, yeah. Like, it might. No one might ever even see it.

[Ike Barinholtz]

It's your personal movie. You get to do it. I think I know what you're going to say. Okay, so before you say it, I'm gonna guess.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. Can we say it at the same time? This is the first thing that comes to mind. One, two, three.

[Ike Barinholtz]

Oh, my God.

[Dave Franco]

Okay. No running around. Know what you need to do. It's very hot in here, and I'm thinking about these guys inside the prosthetics. I'm fine. I love my dress. He's so.
