[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I'm in the other room.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Oh, that's right, you're taking a shot.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Paul has a strict contract against me that has keep me at least 20ft away.

[Paul Rudd]

So I felt that was really inappropriate of me. I'm regretting laying down those rules because it seems as if we would have some sort of personal beef.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

What is the beef?

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Too many handsome guys in one room at the same time.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's the beef.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Cat's out of the bag. Our guest today is Paul Rudd.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

[Paul Rudd]

Busy day.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So it's a press junket day, right?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. But it's, you know, as far as press junkets go, I feel like it's been manageable.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Okay.

[Paul Rudd]

And this part is really actually fun. This feels separate from.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

We did that on purpose so far.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. Yeah, we'll see how this goes. Yeah, this could. This could all go south.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

So we are on the press tour, press junket for our new film Power Ballad, which comes out June 5th. We shot this movie in Dublin two years ago. It's hard to believe. I know time has flown and it's so exciting to have you on the pod. We have a lot to discuss now. We've been answering a lot of questions about the film which we're going to talk about at some point. But we've been kind of talking about it so much recently that we'll start in some other places.

[Paul Rudd]

Great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Go somewhere else for a minute Absolutely. What did you do last night in New York? Did you guys get in yesterday? I know you did because we were on the same plane, but.

[Paul Rudd]

Well, I have been here. I live here, so it's kind of great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's wonderful.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

You and Joe are both in Brooklyn, Is that right? Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

And what's your home address?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I did ask that one time on an interview with someone. I kind of realized during an interview I was hosting someone hosting Live with Kelly, that they were talking about their kid going to college. And I was like, oh, that's so great. Where's she going? And then she looked at me, like, the guest looked at me with the eyes of like, how dare you ask where you're. And I'm like. It was conversational. It was new. I've lived that moment in my head. Shame on you, Kevin. Shame on you.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

We have Brooklyn has the. I won't say where, but we have the best Hollywood neighborhood, I think in Manhattan or New York City, I should say.

[Paul Rudd]

It's kind of chock full of. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Do you guys get into the decorations for Halloween?

[Paul Rudd]

We do.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I thought you said Hollywood. You said Halloween.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Halloween.

[Paul Rudd]

I know what you're talking about, because kind of like, where we are, too. It's Hollywood.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

If there's a lot of actors and

[Paul Rudd]

famous people, we decorate our house with pictures of actors from many different, like, old Hollywood, new Hollywood.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Very Hollywood.

[Paul Rudd]

It's very Hollywood. We go very Hollywood. We really celebrate Hollywood in our house.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Oh. So break this out. So you guys. So it's. You live in a community that goes hard for Halloween. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yes. Oh, I love it.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you do.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Epic.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah. Out in Jersey, we have, like, a safe zone. They shut down all the streets.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, it's great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's the greatest thing ever. House parties.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I am not a fan of Halloween. I'm sorry. I'm gonna say it. I know it's gonna get me canceled by all the people that might want to. You know.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You've dressed up, like, three times, like, in his entire time.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Really?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Only three?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

We weren't really allowed to dress up as kids, so our dad was a pastor, and so we had this. This thing at our church.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Harvest Festival.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah. Instead of Halloween, it was Harvest Fest.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And it sounds worse.

[Paul Rudd]

Dressing up for Harvest Fest.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

They go. It's basically a thing.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

You dress up, you get candy, and there's haystacks and pumpkins. But it's not demonic. Like, what differentiates it?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's at the church.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

And the only thing is, it was at the church. And you Weren't allowed to wear, like, a ghost costume or.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, I see. So you kind of.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You didn't never trick or treated?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

No, I didn't really want to do it. And then as I got older and it was more about, like, going to Halloween parties and stuff. Right. It was not an area of interest to me. I did, however, dress up one year as Marky Mark or. Or Mark Wahlberg. I did finger quotes there for people that can't see, which was basically just me in a T shirt and jeans and a backwards hat.

[Paul Rudd]

Right.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You also Hamb Burglar. If I do remember, I was.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

What's your favorite Halloween cost? And what do you go as? Do you guys do themes as a family?

[Paul Rudd]

Sometimes, you know, because, you know, with this, we give out candy and all that stuff. And so it's part of the deal. You do kind of dress up. And I have had a theme.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Like

[Paul Rudd]

last Halloween, I was Fran Leibowitz, and my wife was Annie Leibovitz. We were Leibovitz and Leibovitz.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

That's nice.

[Paul Rudd]

The year before that, I was Quint. She was Richard Dreyfuss and Jaws. We usually kind of do it together. And this year, I got a. I picked out a. I got a Halloween costume, and I didn't kind of consult with my wife.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Uh, oh, oh.

[Paul Rudd]

And I go, I've got the costume. And she goes, what? What? And I was Post Malone. And she was like, well, who the hell am I gonna be? And I was like, I. You know, you could be. What about Jelly Roll? She was like, fuck you, Jelly Roll. She was furious. So she kind of dogged me, and I was just kind of by myself. Oh, I'm so sorry, Malone.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And she could have gone as a Bud Light.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, that's actually pretty good.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Post Malone and Bud Light would have been a great, like.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I went as Tigger woods one year, and I was Tigger from Winnie the. Obviously Winnie the Pooh.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

How's that where he's from?

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And I was dressed as a golfer.

[Paul Rudd]

That's pretty good. I like those kind of really kind of clever eyes.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And my date was Reese with a spoon, and she just carried a spoon around, but that wasn't that creative.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That's great.

[Paul Rudd]

Do you have to, like, now, you know, with your daughter? It definitely. Do you dress up or do you. I do.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I dress up. Last year, she wanted to be a spooky princess, so she was basically just a princess. But with. I did her makeup, it was like, you know, spooky makeup.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

But she did the hands. The hands.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

The hands kept doing this spooky.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It was this.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

And I got all these brownie points because I, I was, you know, here in the city with, with all the dads. And we, we left Maltese, you know, school and went to one of the. The family's homes and had some pizza for the kids. And the adults all wanted, you know, like a quick drink, like a beer or seltzer or something. And so I sort of had like a, you know, a setup where I had, like, a little cooler and, and as we were walking around, I was, I was passing out beers to the dads on the walk, and they were very thrilled about it.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's the greatest thing ever.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

And it was. Yeah, it was a good time.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

The boozy walk with a. Like we do the, the red wagon. It's just full.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, yeah. Nice.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

There's a lady in our neighborhood that does it. But full margarita, like, setup.

[Paul Rudd]

That's too much.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And, like, shaking the ice, the whole salt, all of it. It's fantastic.

[Paul Rudd]

That's pretty great.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

All right, so speaking of, now that a Halloween episode, I'm gonna switch gears real quick and ask a question related to your movie. Cause I'm quite interested, but it's not related to your movie. At the same time, Nick tells us, Paul, that you're a big fan of Dublin.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, very much so.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And a fan of Guinness.

[Paul Rudd]

Yep.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Which we are big fans of Guinness. I got to tour the factory a couple years ago. It was one of the most amazing things. What about Guinness do you love?

[Paul Rudd]

There's really nothing like it. I mean, I know there's like. Well, he could have Murphy's Stout. There's stouts and things like that. But, But Guinness, it tastes great. It has that history, as you say, which I find very interesting. I think that Guinness really is kind of a part of Ireland's not just identity, but its DNA. It is kind of. They're synonymous with one another. They go together and, you know, it's like you feel like if you're drinking a pint of Guinness, you're taking part in something even bigger than just sitting and having a beer. There's just something about it. There's. I, I, I love it. I just love it.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Have you been to the Devonshire in London?

[Paul Rudd]

I have, yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

The one oh, so great. So they, they have, I guess Ash, who's a friend of mine who started that pub, they are awarded the best pint. I'm doing Nick's Marky Mark quotations for those who can't see that. Because I guess they clean their pipes and their barrels every day rather than like once a few days or once a week, which is what Guinness factory, obviously, when you have a pint there, it's so different.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Now I'm assuming.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Go ahead.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

That's okay. I'm excited about Guinness.

[Paul Rudd]

Go for it. I am, too, which is why it's. My enthusiasm is boiling over. Yeah. To clean the lines every day is a real. That's amazing.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's a journey.

[Paul Rudd]

That is. And, you know, people often say that the Guinness in Ireland is better and that it's made differently. People think that when you have. In other parts of the country, like, if you have in the US it's

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

like bagels in New Jersey, just better.

[Paul Rudd]

But the reason that it tastes better in Ireland, it's not because it's made differently. It's fresh. You know, they drink so much Guinness in Ireland that if you go into any pub in Ireland, there's a really good chance that that was made that week. When you're drinking a pint of Guinness in the States or somewhere else, it's had to come over on a ship. And it's still really great, but it's just. It was made a little while ago.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's just fresh.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And it makes you stronger, Right?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Makes you stronger.

[Paul Rudd]

It makes you stronger.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's got iron in it.

[Paul Rudd]

It's got iron. It makes you stronger. It makes your life better. It solves all of your emotional problems.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Just drink a lot more of it

[Paul Rudd]

and you'll feel better. Yeah, yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

You can split the G like a pro these days.

[Paul Rudd]

Splitting the G?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah, I tried to split the G. We had our. Our big premiere for Power Ballad in Dublin a couple months ago at the Dublin International Film Festival. You know, the social media team came up and said, hey, would you try to split the G for this thing? And I failed miserably. And I watched you do it a few times while we were shooting and with such ease, and became, honestly, quite jealous of your ability and Joe's to split the G. So the next time we're all together, I'm going to give it my best shot and we'll give it another go. But a question on that front. Do you have a Guinness? Undrafted in your house?

[Paul Rudd]

I do.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That's so cool.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, yeah. In my house, I have the.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Do you change the keg out yourself every day?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

In the pipe.

[Public Investing Ad]

No.

[Paul Rudd]

This is why I know what it's like to clean the lines. I get the lines Cleaned. Weirdly enough. A guy who lives around the corner from me cleans lines.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

He's very Brooklyn.

[Paul Rudd]

It's, it's, it's like there's a guy

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

that cleans the pipes.

[Paul Rudd]

There's a guy, he does a lot of the pubs around it.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

He sounds like a medical procedure.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. I have a guy come over to my house to clean my pipes. Clean my line for that actually. Clean my line.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You guys really do live in a rich neighborhood.

[Paul Rudd]

But I do. I go and get the kegs and the tanks, the oxygen and nitrogen mix.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's a process. I put a keg in my house and I did it once and I was like, cool, I'm buying bottles from here on out.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, it's a bit of an effort. Yeah. And you feel you kind of need a lot of people to come over because you're not gonna just kill that thing by yourself.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

If you do, there's a hotline for that.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. And then there's. Sometimes you get one and it's like, oh, I haven't touched any of this in a long time or I haven't been around. And then I have to return the keg. And when you return a keg of Guinness, that's like three fourths still full or like half full, you feel like it's embarrassing and you feel like a failure. And I feel very self conscious to the, you know, the guys at Thrifty Beverage, like, sorry, they're like, what happened? They shake your cake.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You have the greatest excuse ever. It's like, oh, I was filming a movie.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

In Ireland.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I had to be like, I was on set a lot.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Kevin, Joe, just to update you, me and Paul, we've been doing interviews and talking about the film a lot. We, we've, we could probably both kind of list what the. The sort of top five questions were.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I can try. Can I try?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Guess and we'll tell you if you're right or wrong.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Paul, Nick, thank you so much for your time. I promise I won't take too much. I know you guys are doing a lot of interviews today.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You're playing the interview. Okay, copy, copy.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I know we can't tell sometimes when Joe's acting.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I just want to. I want to know like you. Did you guys, like, jam on set? Because I know you both love music.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That was one of them.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Okay.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Another one is a. Paul, have you been. Have you. Have you or your family been to a brother show before?

[Paul Rudd]

Have not been asked that.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Not been asked that.

[Paul Rudd]

Have not been asked that.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

A lot of what's your favorite Jonas Brothers song type stuff.

[Paul Rudd]

Okay.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You are a wedding singer in the movie. So it's gotta be like, what songs do you like to sing that are not your own? Like karaoke. Is that a song?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Oh, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Is that a question?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, that's that.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Actually, you asked that question.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I know. I lend myself to that. That's what I just did. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Last night they said, we have a question from your brother. And it was that question. But one question that I found to be really interesting. Cause it was. It was fun to talk about the movie, but there was one that. That just came up in a thing and I would love for you to speak more about. It was. It said, who is a surprisingly good singer in your circle? And you had a few great names that I was surprised to hear. And if you don't mind, you can.

[Paul Rudd]

Sure. Well, I was saying, you know, Steve Carell is a great singer and that tracks. And it can go really high. There's harmonies and everything. He's just really talented, really good singer.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Didn't he tell you not to audition for the Office or something? Is that.

[Paul Rudd]

Did he. I told him.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

You told him not to?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Bowen Yang]

Whoa.

[Paul Rudd]

We were filming Anchorman.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

He sings in Anchorman. What's the song? What's the afternoon delight?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, Afternoon. He does the high harmony. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

So you're doing that and you told him.

[Paul Rudd]

He said, they're doing the Office. They're interested in me doing the Office. And it was the time that they were showing it on BBC, the Ricky Gervais one, which was so great. And I heard they're just gonna do those for America. And I'm like, oh, you don't wanna do that. That's such a great show. Clearly, I was the idiot in that scenario because he knew, obviously a lot more than I did. And it was an interesting lesson. One, who am I to tell anybody what they should or shouldn't do? It's a terrible decision. But most of all, thank God he didn't listen to me. Right. That show, what him is, oh, wow, he's a genius. And the show's amazing.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

And I look back and go, yeah, all right. That one was a lesson.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

No, I'm kind of with you. He shouldn't have done that.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Has there been roles for yourself that somebody said, hey, you shouldn't do this, and you did. And you're like, haha. In your face. Look at me, I'm Steve Carell now.

[Paul Rudd]

No. There have been things that people say. People that I know say, oh, you shouldn't do that role. But it's generally. After I did the thing and it came out,

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

we've gotten a couple of those.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Oh, that's always great when you. You look, you're. You're like, there's a film I was in, or it was a movie I was in, and, like, somebody walked up to me and you could tell. They didn't know what to say, but they're like, that. That is a film.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's a film.

[Paul Rudd]

I gotta say, technically, that was a film.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Credits and everything, huh?

[Paul Rudd]

Wow. I mean, I was sitting there. It was projected. It was right up there on the screen. I couldn't believe it. And there's popcorn. All those people. That was crazy.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Okay, well, so that's so Steve Carell. That worked out just fine. But who. Who else were those names that you mentioned were great singers? Because I feel like the world needs to know.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. Bobby Cannavale is a great singer.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Bobby Cannavale?

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

With a name like that?

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. You know, I've worked with Ken Marino many times. He's a dear friend of mine. And, you know, they. He's a great singer. And he actually sings in this thing called the Middle Aged Dad Jam Band with David Wayne. And so you could see it on, like.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's so cool.

[Paul Rudd]

They tour. It sounds. Yeah. You can check him out. And he's. He's really good. He's really good. He can also sing exactly like James Taylor, which is really weird. We used to do karaoke a lot together, put in a James Taylor song, and it sounds like the record. It's crazy. And then the other one that he can do, like, to a T, will surprise you. Macy Gray.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That is range.

[Paul Rudd]

That is serious. This is serious. How talented Ken Marino is. Great actor, great writer, hilarious. Can sound exactly like James Taylor and exactly like Macy Gray. And he might be the only person on the planet he should do a

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

recording of a duet between the two.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That's a good idea.

[Paul Rudd]

That's right. Maybe he could do Her Town, too. Yeah. But instead of JD Souther, do Macy Gray and James Taylor. That's a great idea.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's amazing. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Now, speaking of impressions. Natural Segue.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

You're.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

You're part of the Five Timers Club. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

For snl.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Which is.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Did you get a jacket?

[Paul Rudd]

I did, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

They didn't give Nick a jacket.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I'm not a part of the Five Timers Club.

[Paul Rudd]

That's why.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

But this is a thing that I wanted to discuss with you. I have been a musical guest more than five times now. I don't know if that counts, but they gave Jack White.

[Paul Rudd]

They gave him a jacket. They did. Is he the first musical guest to get a one of the jackets?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Well, he's certainly not the first to do it, clearly.

[Paul Rudd]

How many times have you done it?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Bitter?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I think it is. I think it is about five times that I've been a musical guest.

[Paul Rudd]

Wow.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I've hosted once. Yeah, but you have the jacket.

[Paul Rudd]

I have the jacket. I hosted, you know, my fifth time.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Your jacket.

[Paul Rudd]

The fifth time I hosted, it was during COVID and it's actually the only show in SNL's history that they actually. We still did it, but everyone was sent home. So we kind of had to cancel the show, sketches and everything. And we were scrambling to rewrite what the show might be. So.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Wow.

[Paul Rudd]

It was pretty wild.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Walk us through that. You told me the story before. It's incredible.

[Paul Rudd]

Yes.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Walk us through. What is Covid again?

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, God. First, let's go back to the wet markets.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

So you've got these bats. I'm gonna do your air quotes.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

There's some bats.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

It's Marky Mark's fault.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. Marky Mark and the Funky Bats. Five Timers Club. We had a big opening sketch, and Tom Hanks was in it and Tina Fey was in it. And a bunch of people that were, you know. And the show at about 2 or 3 got canceled. They told other people that were in the sketch not to come in. Some they. This is the day of.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So someone. You think there was an exposure. Is that what was happening?

[Paul Rudd]

Well, it was just when the Omicron variant was kind of popping up.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

We were on a musical tour at that point. And the Omicron version.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

A musical tour, Kevin?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah, we were on a. We were doing shows for the.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Are we on a cruise?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

C100. Jingle balls. The jingle balls. And people were dropping like flies.

[Paul Rudd]

And the cast was really nervous. And understandably. And there was a lot of confusion and people didn't know what to do. So everyone kind of went home and. But Tom Hanks and Tina Fey were already in the studio because we were gonna rehearse and do all of that. And so they wound up staying, and we were coming up with what the show might be. And Tina wound up doing Weekend Update with Michael Che. Cause Colin Jost had Covid and wasn't there. And it was weird. And then Tom Hanks, Kenan Thompson and I. It was just the three of us sitting in the audience watching Weekend Update with the two of them. And it was just like five of us. It was so surreal.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That's incredible.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That is wild.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. And Charli XCX was supposed to be the musical guest. They sent her home. We had already filmed a couple of pieces that week, so they aired those and then we talked about favorite sketches from Christmas shows in the past. Cause it was a Christmas show and it was a real amazing example of the show must go on. But a very, very unique experience.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That is wild.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I'm gonna have to go back and watch that.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Watch it too.

We don't know if they're stupid. Actually, Nick, that's.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

They might not be stupid. They might be important. Okay, pull a question. Here we go.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

This one's for you, sir.

[Paul Rudd]

Okay.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

What's your most irrational fear that, you know makes no sense?

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Starting off with a light one.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Snl. Snl.

[Paul Rudd]

Hosting an irrational fear that makes no sense. Just doing podcasts, honestly.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I get it.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Clip it. I feel you on that.

[Paul Rudd]

No, no.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

We were recently in our. Our. Our, you know, sort of album promo, I guess it was last year. And I. I really enjoyed the podcast form. Otherwise we wouldn't be doing this. But some of them that touch on some of the more emotional things, you know, it got really real. I found myself kind of really taken by it. Used to be.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Right.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

We just do interviews and it was all surface level fun. And now we're asking you questions out of a bowl. Like, what's your most irrational fear?

[Paul Rudd]

It's a great question, by the way. And it's. And I wish, you know, I wish I had, like a more entertaining answer. Like, you know, yeah, pinto beans or something weird. Right? Like what? That makes no sense.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Do you have an irrational fear that you can't.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Where do you want to begin? Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, I think we all do, but it's a strange thing to have to come up with in the moment and then answer it or have it in the back of your mind. You know, it's there and say, well, now I'm telling the whole world. Yeah, so why don't we pull another question? Okay, I can do that, but I respect the answer.

[Paul Rudd]

No, no. I mean, I really. I was being facetious, but I can't. I'm trying to. I will have many rational fears. Irrational fears.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

This one may or may not fully apply. So we're gonna figure this out. Would you rather accidentally like an ex's photo from eight years ago or send a voice memo you didn't mean to send?

[Paul Rudd]

Well, I, you know, I've been married for quite. Yeah, my wife and I have been together for so long, so.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So put the number, whatever that is, plus like four for like an ex.

[Paul Rudd]

Well, if I did that, it would be a child. I've been with my wife for longer than. I've not been with her. My wife and I have been together for over 30 years.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Congrats. Let me pick another one.

[Paul Rudd]

No, no, no, no, no. Let's talk about. I guess. And if I annex before that. I did. I mean, this is how old I am. I actually did have exes before my wife and we've been together for 30 years, so I guess it would be. Yeah, just an ex of my girlfriend. I dated Jessica Tandy back in the day.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Tandy. What a name. Isn't it weird? Like, those names just like, they stay there.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

And the home phone number.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So would you rather. Yeah, I can do that one. Would you rather accidentally like that or send a voice memo you didn't mean to send.

[Paul Rudd]

No, I think you mean just getting a picture.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Like you just like, you know, you scroll on Instagram and you're like, heart a photo.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, if you heart it from eight

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

years ago, which means you're deep in the feed.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, see, this is how. Again, I'm a fossil. I don't. What is this Instagram you're talking about?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Copy, copy. Understood. Yes.

[Paul Rudd]

It depends. What do you say in the voice? A voice memo. You don't mean. Depends on what the voice memo is.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's totally true.

[Paul Rudd]

I mean, if it's like, if you're sending a voice memo that's just like, hey, want to say, hey, see how you're doing? Like, and you send it to somebody. That great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

If you send it.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

If you're talking.

[Paul Rudd]

If you. You're talking or you're like, there's something going on with my colon. Yeah. And then you send that to like, you know, actually, like, your.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Your.

[Paul Rudd]

Your kids dentist, your kid's dentist.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And he's like, I fix.

[Paul Rudd]

And Dennis says, well, that's a different line of medicine. Are you sure you meant to. I think I can check your teeth.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

I mean, I'll see how the chair adjusts. Come on in.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Come on.

[Paul Rudd]

I do have a lot of equipment here.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

A very bright light.

[Paul Rudd]

Although when I say rinse, definitely don't go near. Don't go near the bowl or do.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Oh, I gotta say, the voice memo thing. My wife was in her bedroom with her sister the other day, and they were up there for like an hour and a half. They come down, she grabs her phone, and she didn't realize she. They were definitely up there like being sisters, talking shit. And they had recorded about you, probably about everybody. And anyone who knows, you know, they're

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

just Paul Rudd, Nick.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah, exactly. They recorded, on accident the entire conversation. It was. It was recording for an hour and 40 minutes.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, wow.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And I was like, guys, before you delete this, let me listen to it.

[Paul Rudd]

Did they let you.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

No, they were like, absolutely not. They like. So I knew that they were definitely talking. Oh, wow.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Have you guys used any of those, like, there's like a sleep app where you can record your. Your sleep talking?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

I'd be kind of curious. Do you talk? Do you talk in your sleep? Do you guys talk in your sleep?

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I think everyone does and doesn't realize because I thought I didn't really speak. Speak in my sleep, talk in my sleep. And little things like, you know, just, you're. You're. I can probably pull it up.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I want something recording me while I'm sleeping.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

There's a lot of fart noises and a lot of like. Yeah, it's like just.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

Ant Man.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And speaking of Ant man, you saved a candy store.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah, I've been to the candy store, actually. Joe and I both went, oh, yeah, no, we.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

We're big supporters.

[Paul Rudd]

You. I know. I was very touched that you did. And I. You're sneaky. Cause I was like, oh, let me.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

You know, to be fair, I didn't know it was yours until afterwards because I saw there was candy with your face on it. And that was kind of a. I was like, oh, this is their biggest.

[Paul Rudd]

Seems a little self congratulatory, doesn't it? Welcome my candy store. Get a Rice Krispie treat with my face on it. Yeah.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's incredible.

[Paul Rudd]

I was jealous.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I didn't know the story.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I was just confused. I was like, this small town in upstate New York has this cute little candy store and they really like Paul Rudd.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

This is very.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's amazing.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

I'm into it.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

How did that happen?

[Paul Rudd]

How did that come to be? Yeah, how it happened. It's in Rhinebeck, New York.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Love Rhinebeck.

[Paul Rudd]

And this store existed before I became one of the co owners. There are a couple of us, but the actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his wife Hilary Burton, they are also owners. Our friend Andy Ostrooy and then my wife and I. And this store was owned by a guy named Ira, who was kind of a fixture in the town. And the loveliest guy, who sadly passed away in his 50s. And the town isn't that big and the candy Store is so kind of crucial, I think, for the town. We didn't want to lose the store for the town and. And so we took it over just with the hopes of hopefully not losing too much money, but keeping it for the kids that, you know that work there.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Totally.

[Paul Rudd]

And for the town and people go in and it's been really one of the great things that we share, all of us in our lives. And it's so nice because we're in there all the time. But nobody's in a bad mood when they're in a candy store.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Nope. No way. Actually, there's a bag of candy here.

[Paul Rudd]

By the way. I did spy the sticker on that bag.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So I've been wanting to open the bag of candy and see what's inside.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, man, I'm curious.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Goodies here for us.

[Paul Rudd]

See what you picked up.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

So these are. Oh, this is from your shop?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

This is from the shop. This is from Sam Samuel's. So if you're ever in Rhinebeck, everyone make sure to check.

[Paul Rudd]

Those are clodhoppers. I noticed them right away.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Clodhoppers are a big winner.

[Paul Rudd]

Clodhoppers are killer.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Oh, love the Lego blocks. The non branded Lego blocks.

[Paul Rudd]

Sorry, they really. Those. This is. I love candy. I have a real issue like, and I like candy that is really meant for little kids. I love those Lego candies and they actually do click together like Legos.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

They're incredibly fun to play with and eat.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

That's quite good. Well, it's a beautiful story. We loved going there. We were at your candy shop during Christmas time.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Yeah, I get mine flown to New York City. As you can see.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

We were clearly not locals when we went because we went out for lunch on the day after Christmas and at about 3pm weather started to change and this, this snowstorm started.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

You kind of sound like you're telling a children's Christmas story, Nick.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I kind of am. It's the day after Christmas and we basically sit at the restaurant and the people that work there like, hey, you know, you might want to go soon. It's gonna get pretty bad. We're like, ah, it doesn't look too bad yet. So Joe and I decided to walk around the town with my daughter and parents and. And this thing kicks up. Yeah, storm kicks up. And so we go into pizza shop to get a quote, emergency pizza in case the power shuts down everything else. And then we stalled even further and went to your candy shop. And that's when they were basically like, you should probably get home now.

[Paul Rudd]

It was that storm was crazy.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It was wild.

[Paul Rudd]

Wow.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

We got. We. Our car got stuck at the base of this hill, and we had to walk up about a quarter mile in the snowstorm. And there's some photos that you can see if you're watching the pod. Put them up there. Okay, let's move on.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

We saved. We saved the pizza candy.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

And by the way, I just had a pizza Christmas candy was. It was incredible. Would you like these right now or are you not really saving for later?

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Great reflexes.

[Paul Rudd]

These. This is the thing about the. These candy Legos. I really like the yellow ones because they're kind of banana flavored. The red ones are really good.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I think that might be my.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Kevin hates banana. Good thing you got those. Kevin's fake allergic to bananas.

[Paul Rudd]

Banana candy.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Just banana everything.

[Paul Rudd]

I have a way of eating these too, where it's like I scrape the little drops off.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

My daughter does that.

[Paul Rudd]

The blue ones will turn your tongue bright blue.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You should eat that before the premiere tonight.

[Paul Rudd]

That'll look good.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Let's do it.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

All right, so I have some questions from people, and this is what they want to know. This is from Sarah. Clueless is iconic. Of course it is Sarah. And everyone loves it. But did anyone ever bring up on the set that Cher and her stepbrother dating was maybe a little weird?

[Paul Rudd]

I think maybe they did. I definitely heard about it after the movie came out.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

People would say that's a thing.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's kind of strange.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. But it's a bold choice.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Not their fault. They're attracted to each other and they,

[Paul Rudd]

you know, technically clip it.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Clip that.

[Paul Rudd]

Technically not blood related.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

That's what I'm saying.

[Paul Rudd]

Weird.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

All the same, I see what you're saying. Yeah.

[Paul Rudd]

By the way, what a horrible thing decision this was to eat a piece of candy next to a microphone. To a microphone. Especially one of these Legos, which takes a while. I'll take it out.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You know what, though? You did good. You committed to it. I saw you, like, you started scraping.

[Paul Rudd]

The worst part is, is that I've sucked away so much that then now it doesn't stick together anymore. Like a Lego.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

This one's from Mary. This is for Paul, Nick, Kevin, and Joe. What musical do you think is genuinely perfect?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Les Mis.

[Paul Rudd]

I'm with you, man. Dude, Les Mis is so.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's fully there.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I just saw a production recently up in Vancouver, the touring production. And I. I've seen the show and. And performed in it, you know, probably 400 times or 500 times. It never gets old.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, it's one of my all time faves, I got to say. And I know it's, you know, Hamilton is great. Is great. Hamilton is really.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I just saw Titanique.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, what'd you think?

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

So fun. Yeah, it's incredible. Have you seen it yet?

[Paul Rudd]

I haven't seen it yet. I remember it was off Broadway and I wanted to see.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

It's so incredibly fun and so, like, everyone in the cast is incredible and it's. It's definitely a great time.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yeah, you gotta see that.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

You gotta go.

[Paul Rudd]

All right.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Our movie is not a musical per se, but there is music in the movie. I had an incredible time working with you on this project. I'm so thrilled that it's finally coming out.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

It's great. I got to see it. I will say I saw it. I got a link. I shared the link to a lot of the people that I know on the Internet. They love it too.

[Paul Rudd]

Oh, good.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

And yeah, my feed is. They're liking it, but it was phenomenal. I think it's great. And it's also something that, like, oddly, we watched it and this happened to our friend, a songwriter, so it was like life imitating art. And it happens quite a bit.

[Paul Rudd]

I know.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Not to give any spoilers away, but it's definitely something that I think, you know, a lot of people out there that are creatives will relate to and also feel like, wait, did this already happen to me?

[Paul Rudd]

Is this.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Would this happen to me? And a lot of new songwriters that we meet and artists are always like, what are some. What's some advice? And I think since this film, Nick, Kevin and I have both been like, mm, get a good lawyer. But it's really great. You guys should be so proud, really excited for people to see it.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

I'm coming to the premiere tonight.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

I'm so excited.

[Paul Rudd]

Thank you. Oh, great.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

My link was broken. And that's not like a real. Like, I didn't want to watch it. I sat down to watch it and it was totally not working right.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Link was broken.

[Paul Rudd]

Well, you know, you'll see it tonight

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

in the big theater as it was intended.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, yeah. And you really do. This is one. I gotta say, I think when you do see it in a theater, they always say, oh, you know, you want to say, go see it in a theater. But I think the musical element of it, and there's a real kind of crowd pleasing thing that's happening that you do experience it differently. And so I hope you like it. It was very fun to do and it was great getting to do it with you, Nick. And you're so nice to me and you know, this is not my. This isn't. This is not my day job, what I'm doing in this thing. And you made me feel super comfortable. And, and so I appreciate it just

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

to give you some flowers too. I remember I watched the movie over the summer or summer last year with, with Joe and some other friends and family. And everyone came up to me afterwards. Paul's singing is incredible. And we, we all know you as, as Paul Rudd. You know, the Paul Rudd. As I've said million times last couple days.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Candy store owner.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Inspired. Inspired by you.

[Paul Rudd]

Samuel Sweet, shop's own.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Yeah, off brand Lego candy consumer.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

A big fan. And to get to work with you is a dream. But then for you to jump out and sing like you do in this movie and take on this, this, this character, it was just incredible to watch. So please go see our movie, everybody, and see the theater because it is a heartwarming classic John Carney film that I think is best watched on the big screen.

[Podcast Host 3 (likely Joe Jonas)]

Words of Tom Cruise, go to the movies. See this.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Yes.

[Paul Rudd]

Yes.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

As someone from New Jersey, I just gotta ask, though, bagel order before we go. Last thing. My bagel order, like yours, like Taylor ham, egg and cheese, like, what are you getting, dude?

[Paul Rudd]

I really think I'm straight up. I like an everything bagel and cream cheese.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Clean, classic.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah, but I like a salt bagel and I like a garlic bagel, too. Both are great. But I also do like a. I like so many different orders now. I'm just gonna go down the list. I'm gonna stick with my orig. I'm going everything bagel and cream.

[Podcast Host 1 (likely Nick Jonas)]

Done. On that note, give it up. Paul Rod, everybody.

[Paul Rudd]

Yeah. Thanks, guys.

[Podcast Host 2 (likely Kevin Jonas)]

Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming.
