This is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose their do or die Game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer.

We are a sibling revelry. No, no sibling revelry. Don't do that with your mouth. Sibling revelry. That's good. Hi, babies. What's up? Are you writing the show right now? Is this what? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah. Writing room for season two. I literally texted me the other day that he wrote something that's so funny. I'm not going to be able to get through it. I know. There's a scene that we're not going to be able to complete because it's like you and Scott McArthur and plastic surgery. It's not gonna. It's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. Oh, no. But it' oh, my God. Let me get. Wait, let me guess. Kate tells Scotty that he has to have under eye bag surgery. Because there's. That's the thing for me. I. I remember I went to go see my esthetician because I got some baggage, and I remember saying to him, like, is there anything I could kind of do, like, to kind of get rid of these? And, like, without flinching, he goes, plastic surgery. And I was like, ah, you don't have, like, a tinted cream or something? Oh, you guys, this is so fun. We were supposed to do this, I think, like, right around Covid. Yes. Yeah. A thousand years ago, and we didn't. But now look. Look where we've come. Look. Look what's happening. John, where are you right now? John? I don't know anything about you. Oh, this would be fun. Then. Johnny, they didn't. Johnny, they didn't know you had a brother. I had a brother. They had no idea. I was just like. I never mentioned you, ever. Yeah, yeah. Now, you know what's that little fluffy dog that's popping up right under. Yeah, come on. I remember this dog. I remember this dog. Yeah. Oh, that's a baby. But I cut him. I cut all his hair off. He looks better, though, now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I realized today, because I didn't do it. I might. This is, like my natural hair. Let's just take a good look at it, because you'll never see it. I didn't mention. I didn't. I didn't mention that when you take it In. I've never seen you like this. When you first came on, we were doing our little beginning thing. Like, I was like, what is. Is this. What's happening? I. John, I feel like I. I know you. I. I met you before, right? I mean, I must. I don't know. I don't know if we have. Like, I. I don't know. I feel like. I know. I feel like I know you. I don't know how. I don't know. John doesn't leave to hunger. No, I. I hang out. I hang out. My wife's office, she doesn't want him there. She's trying to get him to leave, but he's like, no, I'll just hang out here today, honey. Thanks, you guys. Where did. So you grew up in Chicago. And how many years apart are you? We're six years. Yeah. Wow. Which is like. That's like a. That's a. That's a pretty big gap. That's healthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like that thing where it's like. Like, I remember when he was born and, like, the first, like, three, four years, it was like, oh, we're like, best friends and we're going on adventures. And then, like, at some point, like, I'm, like 11 or 12, and I'm like, I need. I need to see tits. Yeah. I can't be dealing with this, baby. And I got tits. Right? But you know what I mean? Like, the six years, there's a point where you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Like. Like, I obviously, like, love my brother, but, like, you're like, I need to. Like, I'm a teenager now and I. Blah, blah, blah. I gotta go with my. I don't want to sit. Yeah. Where there's, like, not like, we're not, like, infringing on each other's fringe groups. And then, like, we, as, you know, we got older. I remember when I was, like, you know, 20 or so and Johnny's a teenager, then it's like you become friends again. When you have, like. You become, like, best friends again, you have a gap where, like, when one of you is going through puberty, the other one's still playing with toys. And then the switch happens and it's. It's pretty. Did you go to college? I. I went to Boston University for one year. Yeah. And they were like, you have to leave. You can't be here anymore. I was like, that's fine with me. And then did you just. Did you go home or did you start your life? Yeah, I went back Home. And I knew I wanted to act, but I didn't know like how to, oh my God, apply that at all, you know. And then I saw this improv show, the Improv olympics, I think, 10th anniversary show. And I saw like Amy Poehler and Tim Meadows was so, so, so funny. Chris Farley. And I was like, oh, I want to do this. So I signed up for it. I remember Johnny was like, John, you were like 13 or 12 or something probably when I started. And so he would come to see the shows and stuff. And I remember like, Johnny was a much better student than me. He's much more focused, just a better person, the college athlete. And, and he went to college and went to four years and was like a, you know, captain of the running team and all this. And I was like, oh, thank God. Because it wasn't going great for me at that time. I was like, oh, this is so nice. Like, you know what I mean? He was gonna have a nice stable career or something. And then he was like, I remember him and like, he's like, yeah, I really want to do improv and dags. And I was like, oh, my poor, my poor funny parents. Who by the way, are, is a lawyer. I mean, your dad, your dad is a lawyer. Yeah. And what is your mom? What did your mom do? Was she, did she work? Mom? When we were little, she worked and then as we got a little older, she was like hardcore like head of the pta, like did all the fundraising for, you know, our schools and stuff. And so, you know, we're very, very close with them. And they're very, they're like too supportive of us, you know what I mean? Like I. A bad showbiz story. Most showbiz stories were like, my parents, I told them I want to act. My dad beat the out of me. I never spoke to him again. And now I have this Oscar and we're just like our parents, like, oh, this is great. You guys should do. They were theater majors at Ohio State, so they were like, very cool. I was going to say your dad, who plays Bernie, our lawyer and was on the jury or what was it, the juror jury. Jury duty. Jury duty, yeah. And, and, and in studio. Yes. He's got a little cameo. Little cameo. Is a projectionist in an episode. He's. Listen, he got cast in Jury Duty and he, him and my mom moved to LA and now he is a full time LA based actor. When he moved out, he. There was a string of like more than both of us for like a period of like, six months. When he first moved out here, he, like. He booked you look like three things right away. Well, you were running a show, so it's not the same, but. Yeah, yeah, but. But. No, but it was. I remember, like, when Jerry Judy came out. Oh, my God. He. He told me. He goes. You know, he goes, one of my cast members in jury duty told me that I'm the biggest star of all. And I go, what the fuck are you talking about? What is that? What does that mean? He goes, the. Because they. They count it. They keep track of it. And I'm like, dude, what. What do you mean? And I finally realized he meant the call. The call? No, the star meter. The IMDb star meter. And I was like, do you mean the IMDb star meter? He goes, yes, they told me I'm on there. And I was like, oh. He goes, can you. Can you show me how this works? And I was like. I was like, yeah, listen. I was like, I don't know how, like, accurate this is. Don't. I was basically wanting to say to him, like, don't be upset if you're number 9 million. Like, it's fine. And we looked on there, and he was considerably higher than John and myself. He was very high. We were like, oh. Oh. And then I was like, yeah, well, that shit. It's bullshit anyways. I mean, it's like, whatever. There's, like, dead people on there who are high. Whatever. I mean, does your. Does your dad even have to audition anymore? Is he just, like. He's like. He's. He tells his agents, like, we know. Audition. No, Ali, he's still fucking auditioning. Because he'll come over sometimes when I'm, like, cooking for the family. Everyone's coming over, and I got the potatoes and this, and I'll be like, whenever you have a few minutes, if you could put me on tape in the backyard for Mike Scher's new show, that would be really helpful. Okay. All right, fine. Ali. Ike, John knows this, but the world. I don't know if the world knows this, but Ike is a massive foodie and loves, loves, loves to cook. Oh, good. Oh, yeah, Yeah, I love to cook. I have two Traegers, a green egg, and a cinnamon grill. Like, I like that. Like, that's. You could open your own barbecue chicken pretty much. I mean, you know, this is. I might have to, because this fucking business is pretty lean for me, right? But I made some ribs last night that were amazing. Are you. Are you straight smoking them, or is it, like a combination smoke Finish on the grill. Smoke. I do this. I do this. This. Tammy saw this tamarind sauce on that. I do that. I grill the ribs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make that homemade. But this was just like, you know, it was individuals. I cut them up so I could season them really well. Yeah. And I did. I did like, three racks. You know, it was like two hours. Then cover it with, you know, butter and brown sugar and all that. Then another couple hours, then a half hour to tack it up. Yeah, but. And this is. And this is strictly kosher. Fully kosher butter on the ribs. Got it. Okay, cool. Yeah. John and I are both glut kosher. Are you. Are you like a fine dine cook or do you like. What's your deal? I love, like, John came over with his kids this weekend for mother's Day, and I made what I made. I mean, chicken cutlets. Yeah, these are very nice chicken cutlets. Like, I'm very, like, I take a lot. Like, it's like a proprietary bread mixture, you know, breadcrumb. It's like a whole thing. And I made, like, mashed potatoes and like, you do. I would. I would say you're like. You cook, like, rustic. Yeah, it's very, like, it's. It's less like, that's like, you know, it's not like. Yeah, he's not getting, like, sauces. Yeah, he's not getting, like, the tweezers out with, like, edible. Yeah, he'll like, pick up food, just like, throw it on the grill. Yeah. Like, try this, Try this. Hi, Zoe Saldana.

No, we're like in. In the city. Like right near Wrigley Field, kind of. Really? And dad was active lawyer. What kind of lawyer? Personal injury. And then he did some defense work for Metra. He was, he was a vagina lawyer. He only represented vaginas. The bus ads were very embarrassing for my family, but it paid for our education. So we're proud of, we're proud of every last one of those vaginas. But yeah, no, he was a lawyer and was very like, I think he loved being a lawyer. I do. And we would go to his office a lot. We worked there over the summers and stuff. And yeah, like, John, John, you worked there more than me, I think. Right? You worked there and you dealt with a lot more of his cl. Which I dealt with a lot of clients. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, how old are your guys? Do you guys all have. Both have kids? Yes, I have three girls. Right, three girls. How old are the girls? Seven, nine and 12 and five. And I have a three year old boy. Okay, we've blown it with the oldest one. Like, we let her watch, like she watched some of White Lotus with us, you know, which at one point, like, at one point I paused. I was like, go to bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, fun fact, this season of White Lotus, the inspiration for Patrick Schwarzenegger and his brother was me. And John, no one knows this. We're telling you guys, no one has heard this yet, but this is an exclusive. Oh, my God. Thank you for giving us. I mean, imagine, you know, but you're Schwarzenegger and you get the job and he was crying. It's the whole thing. It's amazing. You have no idea what's coming up. How different did you grow up in Chicago than the MacArthur boys? I mean, honestly, straight, you know, in a way incredibly parallel because they grew up very close to us. Like, Bruce lived. Yeah, Bruce lived at 30. Just for context, for listeners, Scotty MacArthur's, who's plays Ness on Running Point, and Ike, our showrunner writer, grew up together. Yes. And his older brother Hayes is one of my best friends. Yes. So, like, like, they grew up very close to us. We went to the same schools for a long time. You know, we weren't like a wealthy family. We. We were fine. We. We didn't have, like, our circles were the same. Our parents. Social circles were different, I would say. Yeah. Like, their social. Parents social circles were like. So were you. Were you. Were you friends with the MacArthur's as kids? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that. Oh, yeah, No. I met Hayes. We were at sports camp on the bus in, like. Oh, God, like, sixth grade, maybe fifth grade. And he. Hayes always tells the story. He'll tell this to, like, waiters when we're at dinner. Like, we pulled up at a red light and there was, like, a couple of, like, older teenage girls. And, like, I opened the window and I was like, you know, saying, what's up, baby? And one of them went like. And, like, put it on her ass. And Hayes was like. Came over, was like, that was awesome. And, like, we became friends after that. And even though he ended up going to a different school in Scotty, and they went to boarding schools. Yeah, we just kept in touch. And then when I moved to la, Hayes was living here. And then Scotty moved and then Johnny moved. So it's really kind of sweet. We have, like, these. And now he's Idaho Hayes. He literally sent me a video the other day of, like, a mountain lion, like, in his backyard. He's like, oh. And I was like, be careful. I know. And I was trying to get everyone to move. He's like, what are you guys doing in la? Yeah, like, I would live here, sir. My family lives here. We have a house here. Wait, I got one thing. Cause you said the title of your show. Say the title of the show that Kate's in. I just want to hear you say running Point. Okay, you said it correctly. It's your show. Everyone says Running Point, but it's Running Point. Running Point. Yeah, that's what you're. Running Point. But everyone says in the cast. Because we had Brenda on as well, and she's like, running Point. I'm like, no, wait, hold on. It's Running Point. It's one of those things where I remember being in the room and we were deciding between different options, and I was just like, guys, Running Point is a phrase that everyone knows. It works on two levels. Yeah. Every. You could go to, like, American Samoa and talk to, like, one of the natives there, and they'll be like, oh, yeah, Running Point. And there's been multiple people that are like, what does it mean? Or they'll be like, I love Point Blank. And I'm like, what? I love Running Man. And I'm like, running Point. God damn it. Did you have other titles that were in the mix? Yep. Yeah, we had. We had one that I. I loved. Like, I think it was, like, the Front Office. Like, that was one. And then. I can't even remember. There was. There was a few, but The Waves. Oh, yeah, there was one. Like, there was one. We were like, do we just call it the Waves or. Then there was. Yeah, Front. There was also one of the Gordons of la. At one point, I remember we were talking about it, but then we thought it sounded too much like a Bravo show. Yeah, exactly. So. So, yeah, but Running Point just always felt like it hit the zone. Did you guys make any. Any play to license NBA or is it just an impossibility? No, no. In fact, when we first came aboard, I think that the. The thinking was, well, this will be an NBA partnership situation, and we obviously love the NBA. And with that, you get a lot of perks, right? You get, like, it. You get the real logos and uniforms and all that stuff. But with that also comes a lot of legal stuff. Like, everything. Everything has to be cleared. You can't just really. NBA. Yeah. And then it also, like, strangely messes up the time space continuum because, like. Yeah, you know what I mean? If we were the Lakers, we wouldn't have, like, yeah, LeBron and Austin Reeves available to shoot. So we would have, like, another rock. So it would mess up the universe. So we really were hopeful that it would be. We were able to create our. And it's fun, too. Whenever we, like, are writing a story and we're like, oh, well, they're playing the. They're playing the team from Memphis. Ooh, the Memphis Hot Chickens. You know what I mean? Whatever. We've literally created a whole, you know, a new league. We could do it. We could do 50 spin offs, 50 states, 50 cities, 50 different families that own it. Amazing. That would be fun. I like that idea pretty good. Well, the four of us own it now because we said it on this podcast. Boom. Legally bulletproof. Hi, Zoe Saldana. Welcome to T Mobile. Here's your new iPhone 16 Pro on us. Thanks.

What if I told you that right now millions of people are living with a debilitating condition that's so misunderstood many of them don't even know that they have it? That condition is obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD. I'm Dr. Patrick McGrath, the chief clinical officer of NOCD. And in the 25 years I've been treating OCD, I've met so many people who are suffering from the condition in silence, unaware of just what it was. OCD can create overwhelming anxiety and fear around what you value most, make you question your identity, beliefs and morals, and drive you to perform mentally and physically draining compulsions or rituals. Over my career, I've seen just how devastating OCD can be when it's left untreated. But help is available. That's where NOCD comes in. NOCD is the world's largest virtual therapy provider for obsessive compulsive disorder. Our licensed therapists are trained in exposure and response prevention therapy, a specialized treatment proven to be incredibly effective for OCD.

But like when I came back from college he like he said he did IO and so He. You jumped into it, like, then. So I was in seventh grade when you jumped into it. I mean, we were. When we were young, though, we would do, like, little, like, skits on the radio and, like, you know, we love comedy. We have tapes of an old radio show between us. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah. I think we have a tape where we do. We're like. We're, like, doing a radio show. One of us. This is true. I think one of us made our pants. I think. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Two different stories. That's. We're. We're performing Laban. I wasn't. I wasn't thinking. That was where the story. We were performing La Bamba on tennis rackets, and I remember one. The movie was hot, guys. The movie was just out. It was hot. Labamba was very big, and we were playing on, like, racquetball rackets, and I remember wanting to finish the song, and we were very close to the end, and I. I, like, the second we finished, I. I shit my pants. I shit my pants. It's gonna happen when you grow up in Chicago. Yeah. Yeah. People from Chicago, their pants. Pants more disproportionately than people in other parts. Yeah. His pants before, I would have no doubt. No doubt in my mind for sure. I think everyone's their pants at some point. I don't think Kate has. But other than that, I think, well, it's a story I won't. Thank you. A story that I will not tell. I remember being in college and knowing college for archaeology, and the department, like, folded when I went out there. And I took a creative writing class and loved it. And I remember calling Ike from after a race my sophomore year I ran in college. And I remember saying to him, like, hey, I'm gonna go back to Chicago. I know what I want to do. And he talked me out of it, and I was really glad he did. I was like. I was like, I'm just gonna go now. There's no point in finishing. He's like, just finish it off. There's two years left. Just get it done. And I did that and very happy I did it. Set me on, like, a good timeline. I also wasn't ready to come out yet. Also, just to be clear, when I did that, I was, like, 23. I was living in LA. I was a busboy. It was the worst time in my life, kind of, because it was like I couldn't get an audition for a fucking Quiznos commercial. You know what I mean? Like, it was Horrible. And I loved my brother, and I was like. Like, I don't want you to go through what I'm going through, because. Yeah, yeah. Not gonna work. It's not gonna. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. I was very happy. I stayed in and, like, did it the right way and, like, went back to Chicago and did four years there and came out to la. I just knew. I knew I was gonna do it. And then by the time he was ready, he went through the Chicago thing. He had, you know, done some training stuff at Steppenwolf and stuff. At that point, I was on a TV show. I was like, oh, bro, come out here, man. It's great. All right. It's so easy. It's got. We got it moved out here, and then my TV show ended. I had three years where no one would hire me, and I was like, this town sucks. It's over. And Johnson. Great. I'm really glad I'm here now. Moza. Thank you. Did you guys live together? No, Ike was. Ike was already with his wife by the time I moved out. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So we never lived together, but we, you know, we. It's. As you guys know, there's nothing like having your siblings. Oh, yeah. In the city you live in, man. It's like. It's. It changes everything. It makes you feel. It makes you feel so much more at home, you know, this is not our. It wasn't my home. And now that he's here, especially now that my family's here, it's like, oh, yeah, LA is my home. Did you meet your wife in la? I met my wife in a very romantic little town in Western Nevada called Las Vegas. Yeah, we. We met at the Hard Rock Casino. Are you serious? Yeah. Yeah, literally, I'm telling you. We met in 2005 during the World Series, and I was with, like, my fantasy football league, and she was with, like, a bachelorette party. And I remember talking to her and. And, you know, I was like, oh, what are you doing tonight? The White Sox are playing. She's like, I'm a huge White Sox fan. I'm like, so am I. And we watched the White Sox game, and, like, you know, the Pope was there, and. And then, like, you know, whatever things happened, and. And then she moved back to New York, and I was still in la. Go to. I would fly to New York like, every other weekend to go see her for, like, months. And then. Then I moved to New York, and then she moved to la. Oh, that's cool. So you met in Vegas? Oh, yeah. Had a crazy, fun Vegas steal. Yes. I love Vegas. I really like, when I get there, I have like a crazy energy where I like, I. I just got. Oh, God. I. You in Vegas is like a disaster. Oh, it's so. It is so. It's dangerous. So much fun. It's dangerous, man. Our grand. Our grandfather lost in Vegas. Really? Oh, everything. Yeah, he was. He was a very successful. He was like one of the first used car salesmen because cars were still new when he went into business. So, like, he, like, owned Chicago, like, the car scene. He owned a bunch of Chrysler dealerships. Very successful. And he, like, he lost, like, like everything. Everything. Everything. Yeah, he was like, he was a. A big gambler, but he was so cool. Like, I remember, like, my dad and I went. First time I went to Vegas, we went to one of the hotels he used to stay at, and he had been dead for 20 years. And when my dad checked in, the guy behind the desk told the manager, the manager came over, shook my dad's hand, was like, oh, we're gonna hook you guys up. It was like, yeah, it was really, really cool. He was a really cool guy. We made more than your grandfather. We're gonna hook you up. We ruin your father's life. Right? Will you send me a picture of your gr. I have one that is. I want to see what he looks like. He looks. He looked like Tom Sizemore and Saving Private Ryan. There he is. Oh, my God. Did he ever. Handsome dude. Oh, my God. Wait, I have to see. Wow. Hold on here. I can't. Handsome man. Yeah, yeah, he was. He was a snack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Very, very cool guy, too. Very cool. Took a bullet. Took a bullet at Normandy. Did he really? Did not. He was like, like D day plus, like eight. He was like wave five or something. But yeah, yeah. Took one like up through the foot. Yeah. Very, very cool guy. Four hearted, four heart attacks. Like, the most Chicago guy ever. How awesome. Yeah, he was cool. He was cool. And his wife, our grandmother, God bless her, still with us, you guys. She's 101. Wow. Yes. Yes. Yeah, we just went to go visit her. Like, I brought two of my girls to go see her a couple months ago, and that's. It's so funny. I. I now want to live a very long life because I've learned that when you get to a certain age, all you have to do all day is watch tv. Yeah. And that is my dream. That's your goal. I'm not even playing with you guys. Like, I want to, like, wake up, have a little breakfast, and then just go to the couch and just watch TV all day. That is like my goal. Are you able to watch TV given how busy you are? Or you. You can't or do you every night? Yeah, I always try if I get. If I'm home, not too late. Like 10 minutes of basketball. Random basketball game. Yeah, yeah. And then one show, one half hour show. Know. Yeah. Like right now. Have you. Are you guys watching the rehearsal? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, started it. Nathan Field. Oh, my gosh. He's genius, that dude. He's genius. And he. What he's doing this season is so. It's crazy fascinating and funny and so it's like a long con, basically. It's a long con slash social experiment. Yeah, but. And it's a combination of real people and actors, so it's not like. It's not like. Like, it's like a prank. You know what I mean? It's like. No, no, no, no, no. It's more like the amount of resources throwing to nothingness is the. It's one of the funniest. The episode. Episode three, I think, like, not to give it away, but, like, when the baby thing happens, it's the funniest thing I've seen, like, in a while. So I do like to watch a little bit. Have you guys worked together? Yeah, we have. He played. I directed and starred in a movie, and he played my. This was six years ago. Seven years ago. Yeah, I did. I did. Like, he had me on for, like, a little bit. And Mindy with Scotty. Yeah, yeah. John and Scotty were on mini project together with Dave and I. We did a show with the great Katie Rich on Netflix. Yeah, we did animated show. Animated show for Netflix with Katie and Dave Stassen and some friends. So we've been in a writer's room together. And I don't think we could get too deep into it right now because we're still shooting it, but we have a new thing that we're working on with our dad that we've been kind of working on for the last. The last few months, which has been, like, so much fun and so great, but again, like, you have to allow more patience when you're working with a parent. Well, I was about to ask that, like, what's the working dynamic? What about your brother? Yeah, but, like, you know, what about directing? John? John, was you directed by Ike? I mean, was it. We direct in the movie? No, no, because, like, I think, like, again, like, like, full trust in yeah, yeah. His instincts and everything. So like, yeah, also in this thing, we directed each other and, and we both directed our dad in it. And there's definitely more patience between us. We also have the exact same sensibility. Yeah. And there's that weird sibling thing where like he can come up and be like, hey, do that thing where you go. Yeah, you know, I'll do it. Bye. Bye. You know, it's like, like that. Not even shorthand, no hand. Yeah, yeah, dad, dad is, is trickier because a, he's our dad, but also he's like a 73 year old man. So like we'll be on a zoom, you know, with like 18 people and like, like, just like a production meeting and like his audio will go out for like half a second and John will be in the middle of talking about something and my dad would go, okay, I can't hear, I can't hear anything. Can you hear me? Oh, hold on. It's working, it's working, it's working. Now you don't have to be on the call. Like, just let me. I have to get through this stuff. I have to get through this. Oh my God. Immediately a teenager. I mean, you guys should be documenting that. You know, just that that's funny too. Just the behind the scenes of you two and the dad trying to make a show together is funny. He's like, he really, he's very charmed and he's so happy and just. He's the sweetest man ever. He's so sweet. There's this moment in Running Point where, where we were shooting where, you know, he comes in and the whole thing was like that he's, you know, can be kind of handsy. And I said to Ike, I'm like, he should kiss me on the lips. And yeah, I told my dad, I go, hey, on this next take, I kiss Kate on the lips. He goes, I can't do that. I cannot do that. He got like blushed and really nervous and I was like, listen, hey, hey, calm down. It's her idea. He goes, really? Oh, oh, oh. I remember our wonderful, sweet, late uncle Harold. Wonderful man. He had big wet lips. He had big wet lips. And I remember he, he came to LA and took Dave and I, Dave Stassen and I to dinner. And at the end of dinner he gave me a hug and kiss and he turns to Dave, who he had just met and goes, goodbye honey. And gave Dave Stass and a big kiss. And Dave is so different. Like, Dave is like a hardcore gentile, like, emotion and this old Jewish man, like, come here. Dam. Oh my God. Oh, my God. Nothing drunk older people love more than saying goodbye. Goodbye, everyone. Like photographers walking away. Goodbye. I feel like I'm that older person now. Yes, we're getting there. I'm definitely that person. Person. You guys. I am. I am old. I have bursitis in my shoulder. You do? What is that? Yeah, it's like you have like bursa that are like little kind of sacks around. Like the little ball sacks kind of. You got two balls and you're basically. Imagine here I just got a bunch of testicles and. And it's like. It's like when they get inflamed, basically. It happens. It's a sports injury, right?

What if I told you that right now millions of people are living with a debilitating condition that's so misunderstood, many of them don't even know that they have it? That condition is Obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. I'm Dr. Patrick McGrath, the chief clinical officer of NOCD, and in the 25 years I've been treating OCD, I've met so many people who are suffering from the condition in silence, unaware of just what it was. OCD can create overwhelming anxiety and fear around what you value most, make you question your identity, beliefs and morals, and drive you to perform mentally and physically draining compulsions or rituals. Over my career, I've seen just how devastating OCD can be when it's left untreated. It but help is available. That's where NOCD comes in. NOCD is the world's largest virtual therapy provider for obsessive Compulsive disorder. Our licensed therapists are trained in Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, a specialized treatment proven to be incredibly effective for OCD. So visit NOCD.com to schedule a free 15 minute call with our team. That's N O C D.com this is Justin Richmond from Broken Record. Are you the kind of person who sets standards for themselves? Like personally, I told myself if the Lakers lose their do or die game five, I wouldn't let it impact my mood at home with family. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus measures success by the feelings and emotions evoked in a driver, like exhilaration and joy. Amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. The standard of amazing results in machines that make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer. And here we have a specimen from the early 2000s, a legacy investing platform. Please don't touch the exhibit folks. It could crash.

Full disclosures@public.com disclosures I could talk to you guys forever. But we do have a thing that we say to each other after every, after every interview question. Yeah, I'll let you ask. Yeah. But before we, before, before, I just want to talk about the studio really quickly. And like, like, I was just talking about you today. You, like, it's kind of happening. You kind of fucking did it. You know what I mean? Like, you're having a real moment here. Just shut up for a second. I'm just telling you what's happening. You, I think, are going to be able to, like, truly carry movies, and I think that this is going to be. It's happening. I'm the luckiest person in the world. Oh, my God. Like, I get to, like, go and write jokes for your sister with Dave and Mindy, and then I got to go dick around with Seth and. Yeah. And those guys. So it's so fun. It's all. But it's the whole business. You guys know, you get moments of luck and you get moments of despair, and it's, it's a wave. And I'm sure in a year and a half from now, I'll fudgeing be like. But, like, you know, right now, it's a, it's a humbling industry. It is now that you've, you've worked your ass off to get to where you are, and hopefully it keeps going and going. But is there an added pressure to, to, to be funny and funnier and make sure. Oh, my God. Or you just say, fuck it, I'm just gonna do what I do. I think that, I don't think there's a. You know what I mean? Like, the pressure is to, to make sure work is good. Yeah. But I, I, I'm so lucky. And I, I've also, I think all of us on this zoom right now do understand. We, we love our business. We care about it. We invest our time and our energy. We love watching it. But we also understand the difference, the balance of our families and the importance of that. And like, nothing, nothing supersedes that and the relationships you have. And it's a crazy planet right now. A lot. It's very hot. And it's important to, I think, kind of really remember. That's the important stuff. Yeah. And especially with everyone's success, it's about sort of prioritizing that you got your three girls, like, is as busy as you are. You, obviously, you're a dad first. You want to make sure that you cater to that before. 100%. Right? 100%. That's all that. Yeah. And that can get tough. Being busy. Yeah, yeah. Miss. You can miss. Especially. Yeah. If you're an actor. You're gonna go do a movie in New Zealand or something crazy. We went. We did a panel. We were doing this, like, deadline panel. I get on FaceTime, and Ike is at Bristol Farms picking up food so that he can feed his kids before he has to go do something else. You're the best dad, Ike. And I love. And I love what you're saying. I love what you're saying. Because, John, John, I'm sure you are an amazing father as well. Because. Because you guys grew up like, it. It's. I think we all are very kindred. A little more. A little more like a very harsh disciplinary. Yes. It feels like. Yeah. Very rough. No, but you're right, Kate. Like, it's like we're so lucky to grow up in the houses we did where, you know, our parents just. They. They were just nice people first. They were like, nice. And. And so I. You know, it comes from siblings, too. Like, I don't know if you guys listen to the Daily or listen to the. The Today's Daily is about the. This new book called the Power of Siblings. Yeah. And it's like, it's amazing. Have you, like, have you read it? Not yet. No. No. But. But I just. I just read about it. Wow. That's. That's what I. That's how far I've got. Read about it. I'm like. It's cool. Like, I'm like, right away, I'm like, oh, yeah. It's crazy how much your siblings influence you and your behavior. And like, without even knowing it, like, they just. More so than your parents. Real quick. Can I just do a quick imitation of Michael Barbaro on the Daily? John, just say what the book says about. So this book is about how our siblings influence and inform our lives and our childhood. And I really get the sound button. Love you, Mikey B. All right, last question. I actually won before the. The. The. The one that you guys shot. How many takes did you do? Oh, my God. They. They shot it in four chunks. Okay. And what they would do is. I think they were planning on. We could cheat stuff. But that house, that's a famous house. That's a John Lautner house called Silvertop, and it's all window. So we would show up at like 9 and we would rehearse until like, magic hours. So we would rehearse all day until like 4:30 or 5 and then shoot as many takes as we could for. For chunk One until the sun came down. And some days we got the shot. There was one day where we didn't get it and it was a little heartbreaking, but it was, it was really intense. Did anyone fuck up? Oh my God, so many times. Oh. And like, and when you up like we've all been like where you up like a complicated shot and you're just like all of a sudden like our Steadicam operator who's been like on his feet for like 18 hours and starts. I'm sorry, I was, I was talking about that with Katherine Hahn. We did like the actors on actors thing for Variety. And yes, I, she, I were talking about improv. Like imagine being the. Who like has the improv line that like messes everything up. It's just like awful. You're talking to that. I knew it would have been you. Yeah, of course. Sorry guys. I decided to throw in a totally new line that none of you been heard before. It was a Q line. I'm sorry about that. Let's go again. So here, here's the last question, right? It's a two parter. If you could alleviate something from your brother, something that you could take away from his life that would make it just a little bit better, what would it be? And on the flip side of that, if you could take something from him, if you could emulate something, something. I would, I'll go first. I would alleviate stress. You know what I mean? Like John, I think sometimes carries stress differently than I did. Always has since he was a boy. He's able to manifest it incredibly well and like. But you could tell you know your brother better than you know yourself. I would steal. It's like two sides of one coin. Because what I would emulate from him, him is his patience, which is, I don't have that. Like I am a little, little and he is just, he, he is so like poised and calm and even when bad things happen, the way he handles it and carries himself, it's just like I could never do that. So there you go. Beat that. Johnny, you dick. Mine sucks that I want his Nikes. No, I, I, he, My answer was also weirdly going to be stress. I wish I could take away the stress. And I guess like I wish I could give, be able to give him more time to. Because I feel like he's incredibly packed with time of like you said Ali of like parenting and working and like alleviate some of that pressure and stress. And my, my emulator is like, it's such a stupid one. But like he is, I Would love to be like, ike can. I think it's okay to say this? Well, it depends on what you're gonna say. I can. I can smoke weed and. And like, it be like, talk to the president. Yeah. And. And like, I love. I love smoking weed, but I can't, like, leave my house if I do it anymore. I just like. And. And I feel like I'm so, so comfortable. This is the best one we've ever had. He can. He's. He's so. I think I just like, the thing is, like, being so comfortable in his own skin. Yeah. And he can do that across, like, being in any. Any state of inebriation or like. Oh, yeah, you can smell. I can smell Ike from, like, you know, stage 10. I'm like, must be coming. I love. I love that I was like. I love that I was like, I want my brother's patience and soul is so beautiful. And he's like, he has a drug problem. No, no, my. The root of mine is being comfortable in his own skin, like, and being able to, like. Right. But when you're high, you just wish you didn't have panic attacks going outside when you're high. You got to work through that, my friend. I feel like, whether, like, forget the high thing. Whether he's talking to True. Yeah. The head of whatever. Like, he could be talking like the head of the UN or like, like, you know, his gardener. And, like, it is the same level of comfortability with both. And that's, like, such a cool thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I smoke wee with Boutros Boutros. Golly, that would be a great stone session with Boots. That'd be very good. Quick question. Do you have the same ability like your brother does with, like, Jeopardy? Do you can you opinion? Yeah, I think I got the trivia thing. I got the trivia thing, too. It's a weird, freakish thing. I'm not him. But, like, looking at. I'm looking at. Well, I can tell you why he's better than me because we're in a daily trivia league, and we're in the same group this year, and I am currently number 12. And you could see right there, number three, Jay Baron Holtz. Oh, wow. Wait, how does the trivia league work? It's just like a question a day. No, it's. It's four. It's every season, so it's four times a year, and it's like three weeks or four weeks each time. And every day you get an email that has six questions, and they're. They're like, pretty hard. There are some where I'm like, I have no. No clue. The average. Correct. If you get two in a day, you're like, that's good. But what you do is you're going head to head against other people in the group and you score their points. So you can look and see, like, oh, Oliver's really good at, like, sports and literature, but he's bad at, like, science and geography. This geography question, if he gets it right, I'm gonna give him a high value. You know what I mean? So there's an extra wrinkle to it. It's really, really. I'd be awful at this. Last year, the guy heard my last name and he was like, are you Jay Barinholtz? I'm like, yeah. He's like, I'm T. Bowers. We're in the same rundle. Like, we're like. Like. Because you only know the last name O. Wait a minute. But. But is it just on the honor system that you don't just look it up? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be hard for me. They do a smart thing, though. They make you check a box saying, I certify that I have told the truth, that I didn't cheat. Yeah. That strangely, I don't get in trouble. Yeah. Yeah. That would hurt. Yeah. I. I would never be able to do anything like this. That I've asked you. I've asked. I've asked you some of the questions before. You've gotten a couple of them. We sat at the Video village and I. I threw some out. And you knew. It's fun. I definitely want to. I wish I. I wish I did. Think we should do more things like that, Ollie? Yeah, I guess I just be a part of, like, clubs. I just got into reading. Let me. One step at a time. I just figured out reading. All right, well, we love you guys. So fun, you guys. Love you guys. Everybody's counting on you. I'm excited, you guys. Yes. Great work. Great work, John. I love all four of you. John, good talking to you, brother. Pleasure. We'll see you again. We'll see. Love you all. Love you all. Love you. Goodbye, my babies. I know. I'm so lucky. Oh, you're so lucky. In la working with the greatest people. They're so great. Laugh our butts off all day. You have hit the jackpot. I know. I'm so. I really. This is when I do those moments where I feel like. Like, what do you do in your life to actually. Or what have you done in a past life, to actually be able to experience that kind of joy in this life, you know, because that's what it feels like. And it's so much fun and. Yeah. On. And he's so smart, and everybody's so smart. I always try to say, you know, just because it looks easy and effortless doesn't mean that that's what it is. It's just. It's just there's so much work involved and he works so hard. It's. And it's just. Yeah, it's the best. Yes. Well, I'm about to go see a baby. All right. I'm gonna go see my kiss for me. Oh, my God.
